This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

When he reappeared, Li Daoxuan had returned to the Ascension Platform on Tianshui Ze Island.

"Success... We've basically mastered this void-traversing formation."

Li Daoxuan said happily.

For the past three years, he has been comprehending the power of the spacetime laws of the Ascension Platform.

In addition, the "Flying Body and Leaping Traces" technique, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques, also contains the effect of spatial traversal and fusion. With each other confirming the other, it was indeed not a waste of his three years of hard work.

To put it simply, the supernatural power of flying and teleporting can be considered as instantaneous teleportation, a supernatural power that allows one to instantly merge into the void.

However, this kind of supernatural power can only achieve short-distance travel. To travel tens of thousands of miles like just now, it is necessary to rely on complete magic array runes to establish a stable void channel.

However, this teleportation method has a drawback: it consumes a great deal of resources.

Li Daoxuan estimated that with the magical power in his body, he could only travel such a long distance at most four or five times before his magical power would be exhausted.

Of course, Li Daoxuan possessed the supernatural ability of absorbing qi in nine breaths, which allowed him to recover to full strength in just a few breaths.

However, other disciples may not be able to master the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique in the future. If they want to travel long distances, they will probably need to use spiritual crystals as a substitute.

"The law of conservation of energy is consistent with scientific principles..."

Li Daoxuan smiled and muttered to himself.

This is an insurmountable problem, because it is inevitable.

There are gains and losses; that's just how things are in nature.

After resting for a while, Li Daoxuan activated the magic array again. After a few breaths, he returned to the mountain outside the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

This is the magic array stronghold he left behind.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the City of Ten Thousand Beasts shrouded in dark clouds in the distance, sighed softly, and transformed into golden light, departing.

Now that his supernatural powers have been fully developed, his cultivation has reached a critical point.

He should travel the world properly, complete his spiritual practice, and accumulate merit.

Qushui City, in the northern part of Nanli Prefecture.

It is under the jurisdiction of a local sect called Shenfengmen.

Qushui City is located at the foot of Shenfengmen Mountain, and it is considered the most prosperous town within a radius of 300 miles.

Inside a restaurant called Ke Lai Xiang in the city, a group of diners who had traveled all over the country were gathered.

At this moment, all the diners were looking at the open space in the center of the first floor.

In the open space in the center, there was an old man and a young girl, a grandmother and her grandson.

The man had white hair, and the woman was only sixteen years old.

One person plays percussion instruments, while the other sings.

The little girl's voice was clear, melodious, and very touching.

The folk tune she sang was even more moving.

Clearly, they were a pair of traveling performers making a living.

Judging from their blood and energy levels, they are at most only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be for someone like that to navigate the world.

Fortunately, the little girl had a beautiful voice and sang well, so some generous diners would give her some money as a tip.

In addition, these street singers can attract business, and the restaurant owners will pay them some money, providing food and lodging.

After the song ended, the little girl carried the gong offstage and went from table to table asking for tips.

If someone is willing to give, they will say a few auspicious words.

If the other party ignores him, he will bow and leave.

However, if someone deliberately makes things difficult, the restaurant owner will step in to mediate without the young girl having to speak up.

Overall, it's passable.

"Young master, if you think my singing is alright, could you please give me a small reward?"

The young girl stood in front of Li Daoxuan and asked him confidently.

Li Daoxuan smiled, took out a piece of silver from his pocket, gently placed it in the gong, and praised it.

"You sang well..."

The little girl's eyes lit up as she looked at the glittering silver particles.

"Thank you, young master. I wish you all the best and continued success in your martial arts journey..."

Li Daoxuan smiled but didn't say anything. The young girl bowed and left.

After finishing his last cup of wine, Li Daoxuan prepared to leave.

Just as they reached the entrance, they saw a man dressed in brocade robes, with a large build but lifeless eyes, enter the restaurant surrounded by several attendants.

With just one glance, Li Daoxuan knew that this man must have been indulging in wine and women for a long time, resulting in the depletion of his vital energy and the dissipation of his primordial spirit.

Although it appears to possess a martial arts physique at the third level, it is actually built up using external resources such as rare and precious materials, and is essentially useless.

However, this was not what Li Daoxuan was concerned about.

He frowned, his fingers silently calculating behind his back, and with a sigh, said helplessly:

"I've lost count of how many times this has happened along the way—the abduction of women..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan's figure slowly disappeared, eventually vanishing without a trace.

As Li Daoxuan had predicted, things happened exactly as he had foreseen.

Seeing that the singing girl was beautiful and intelligent, the man ordered his men to forcibly take her away.

The restaurant owner wanted to intervene, but after recognizing the man as the city lord's second son, he had to abandon the idea and dared not step forward.

The poor girl's grandfather fought desperately, but in the end he couldn't save his granddaughter. Instead, he was punched in the heart by one of the man's attendants from the Triple Heaven, and died on the spot.

The young girl tried to commit suicide on the spot, but the attendant sealed her meridians and blood, making her limp and unable to even beg for death.

The little girl was taken away just like that.

Seeing the old man's pitiful state, the restaurant owner found a roll of straw mat, had his waiter roll it up, and took it to the outskirts of the city where they dug a shallow pit and buried him.

The workers looked at the small mound of earth that had just been piled up and sighed helplessly.

I couldn't help but curse.

"Sigh, why isn't anyone going to teach that bastard a lesson? He's made a complete mess of Qushui City..."

His companion quickly covered his mouth and said cautiously:

"Shh, be careful what you say. We're just small fry, we can't worry about all that..."

The waiter could only sigh helplessly:

"Poor Youlan, such a good girl, it looks like that bastard is about to ruin her..."

"Let's go, let's go back quickly, it looks like it's going to rain."

The group buried the old man's body and left in a hurry.

After they left, a figure in a blue robe appeared out of thin air.

It was Li Daoxuan.

He gently waved his hand, and the mound of earth in front of him parted on its own, revealing the old man's body through the open mat inside.

"Alas, old man, you've escaped a terrible ordeal, you've turned misfortune into good fortune."

After saying this, Li Daoxuan opened his palm, and in the center of his palm were the old man's three souls and seven spirits.

With a casual talisman, the old man's shattered heart and bones were restored to normal in the blink of an eye.

His three souls and seven spirits entered his body.

A short while later, the old man resumed breathing, and his complexion returned to its rosy hue.

A few breaths later, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

He opened his mouth and called out:

"Youlan, my granddaughter..."
