"This move is indeed a powerful tool against the Tongxian Sect. With this artifact, we might really have the ability to destroy a sect."
Lu Li shook his head, dismissing the idea. He couldn't be careless; the strength of the higher-ups in the Tongxian Sect was unfathomable, and the Soul Path might not be their only means.
Furthermore, he only used the "In the Past We Were Also Human" technique on the wooden crow. If it were a Class C, Class B, Class A, or even higher-level artifact spirit, would this supernatural power still be effective?
Lu Li's situation is uncertain.
Tan Mengzi almost went to jail just for proposing the idea of the Past Order, but now the Past Order has been completed.
If he were a high-ranking member of the Tongxian Sect and knew that such a supernatural power existed in the world, specifically targeting artifact spirits and capable of causing them to rebel, he would definitely be restless and would spare no expense to kill this ghost hovering over the Datong Sect.
In the past, our role as human beings was very limited, but the effect was surprisingly amazing. We could use it, but once we used it, we had to kill people to silence them.
This is why he activated the "Never Met" token before activating the "Past Token" token, thus concealing his identity.
As for what to do with this wooden crow...
Lu Li looked at the little wooden crow at his feet, which had now calmed down. It was looking up at him timidly, its bulging eyes unblinking, more radiant than ever before.
"Excuse me, could you help me find my mother?"
This is indeed a very cute, but also very pitiful wood jay, like a little sister in the neighbor's house locked up, or a fledgling bird that has just hatched and is crying for food.
Lu Li hesitated for a moment, carefully considering his words, before offering words of comfort:
"No, your mother doesn't want you anymore, she might be dead. I'm sorry."
Chapter 111 Why does this pear tree only bloom but not bear fruit?
Lu Li originally thought that he should make a clean break and pretend that he had never been there. Anyway, the wooden crow would not remember that he was the one who did it afterward, so there was no need for any extra worries or entanglements.
"Wh-what?"
The little crow pursed its beak, its eyes darted around, and it almost burst into tears.
Suddenly, Lu Li changed his mind. He felt something inexplicable stirring in his heart.
"But you have me, we have each other, we are a family."
"Family...can you be my mother?"
"Uh……"
Lu Li's lips twitched. All he could say was, were these artifact spirits too obsessed? Why did it have to be his mother? If she had just called him father or elder brother, he might have responded.
"Mother, where should we go next?"
"You are just a wooden crow now, and in this Boundless Realm, there is a 95% chance that you will perish."
"How could this be? What about the remaining five points?"
"You will see a world that no other woodcrow has ever reached."
As he spoke, Lu Li looked at the rising sun in the distance. Through the crimson sky, he could vaguely see a hint of dawn breaking over the horizon.
"Then I'll choose these five points, okay?"
"Okay, but only if you listen to me. You do whatever I tell you to do. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. You'll get spirit stones, and your mother will get them too. Do you understand?"
"Caw, yes, Mother!"
"I've already told you, I'm not your mother! Since your surname is Su, it's not appropriate to call you Mu Ya anymore. Su Ya, Su Xiao Ya... I'll just call you Su Xiao Ya. First, tell me, what intelligence do you have on your side?"
Lu Li had been away from the main force of the sect for a long time, and now was the time when intelligence was needed. Su Xiaoya tilted her head, and a red light shot out from her eyes, which entered Lu Li's brow.
A deluge of information flooded into Lu Li's mind. The wooden crow had told him almost everything it knew, including information that inner disciples were qualified to know and those they weren't.
This includes not only information from the Boundless Realm, but also many secrets within the sect before entering the Boundless Realm.
For example, a certain deacon actually has a crush on a certain elder, a certain female disciple is mining at night, a certain male disciple climbs over the wall to enter the girls' school... No wonder Xuan Ya was discovered in a while, it turns out that these wooden crows were keeping watch.
The Wood Crows are responsible for relaying intelligence on a daily basis. They can be seen everywhere in the sect, and they often exchange information with each other, making them the most well-informed.
Lu Li ignored the useless information and went straight to the intelligence about the core area of the Boundless Realm. The reappearance of the fragment of the Returning Void Seal has already turned the core area into a complete mess.
Two of them stood out the most.
One of them was named Jia Yixin, a protector from the Tongxian Sect. This protector was at the Ling Shu Realm and did not hesitate to suppress his cultivation with puppets. He controlled hundreds of puppets, each of which contained an artificial spirit and could fight on its own. He was practically an army in one person and seized six fragments in one fell swoop.
The second one is Ji Lie of Qingyang Palace. His physical body underwent further mutation under the influence of the Immeasurable Tribulation. He is said to possess the Lesser Returning Void Dao Body and actually killed seven Open Source Realm cultivators in succession, obtaining four fragments.
The rest of the group came from two sects and various families, but in this boundless realm, none of them could compete with these two.
The intelligence also included a video showing a White Moon Palace steward running wildly with a fragment of the Returning Void Seal in his hand. A burly man who looked like a demon rushed up and broke his arm.
Just as he was about to snatch the fragment of the Returning Void Seal, the shape of the fragment was recorded by the wooden crow. Lu Li silently memorized the array patterns on the fragment and understood:
"If the situation hadn't been so critical, I wouldn't have thought of using the wooden crow to deliver the fragment, which ultimately benefited me. Unfortunately, I can only see the array patterns in the image; I didn't get the fragment, so I can't determine the material and craftsmanship of this thing."
……
In the Boundless Realm, in the core area, there is a pear orchard.
Four deacons of the White Moon Palace stood together, their expressions extremely solemn. This was their sixth day trapped in the forest.
This was not their first time exploring the core area of the Boundless Realm, but they had never seen this pear orchard before.
Under the influence of countless eons, the pear trees here seem to have undergone some unexpected changes. The pear blossoms cluster on the branches like snowballs, as if they will never wither throughout the year.
The pear blossoms were exquisitely beautiful, emanating a gentle, divine aura that seemed out of place amidst the distorted vegetation of the outside world.
At first, people thought it was a newly born spirit tree. They only stayed at the edge of the forest, trying to collect some samples of the spirit tree to take back to their sect.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the forest, they discovered that the path they had come from had vanished. By the time they realized they were lost, it was too late.
"These pear blossoms have a bewitching effect. Our spiritual cultivation is insufficient, and we have wandered into the forest and lost our way. Fortunately, a wooden crow from the Tongxian Sect just passed by. I have already sent a message to it. After all, the Tongxian Sect has a history with our sect, so it should not abandon us in our time of need."
"With profits at stake, no one can say for sure. The worst thing is that he might take advantage of the situation and raise the price on the spot."
"Fine, at worst I'll just give him that fragment. It's better than losing my life here."
Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh, so you're afraid you won't be able to wait for him. Why don't you give me that fragment, and I'll take you out of here? How about that?"
"who!?"
Everyone turned around and saw a burly figure walking towards them from among the flowers. The man had a red face and white hair, was thirteen feet tall, and was so burly that his muscles trembled as he walked, as if they would explode at any moment.
"It's Ji Lie, the Crimson-Faced Demoness of Qingyang Palace! Everyone be careful!"
"Hahaha, Red-faced Ghost? That's a good nickname. I didn't expect that I'm so famous that you deacons would remember me. Now that you know who I am, why don't you hand over the fragment of the Returning Void Seal?"
"Ji Lie, you just got lucky and obtained an opportunity from the immeasurable calamity by sheer chance. Don't push your luck!"
"This is outrageous! Hahahaha, the two sects have always been at odds. No one in your White Moon Palace can rival me this time, so who can you blame? Hand over the fragments and I'll give you a quick death!"
Let's do it together!
At the command of the leading deacon, the other three took out their magical artifacts and unleashed a variety of supernatural powers on the red-faced ghost as if they were free.
boom!
Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, the burly figure burst out from within, his millstone-sized hand reaching out to grab one of the deacons. The deacon had no time to dodge and could only try to defend himself with a spiritual energy barrier.
boom!
With a casual press, Ji Lie shattered the barrier. The four White Moon Palace stewards joined forces to kill Ji Lie, their various spells intertwining on his body. It was as if they were hitting a defensive artifact made of black iron, making a crisp clanging sound, but they could not harm him in the slightest.
The fight lasted less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, and one of the stewards was killed, while the other three were all injured.
Just then, a petite figure popped her head out from the bushes and muttered softly:
"Strange, the map says the Ghost Face Flower is here, but why are there only pear trees? Damn it, how come there are pear trees that only bloom but don't bear fruit?"
No one could see the person's face clearly. Judging from his attire, he was neither a disciple of the two sects nor a scion of any wealthy family. He seemed more like a rogue cultivator who had wandered into this place by mistake.
"Huh? Where did this little blonde girl come from?"
Chapter 112 Typical Blue Axis Thinking
Lu Li told Su Xiaoya to go back first and not to reveal her identity, but to pretend to blend in with the disciples.
Although the other party cannot recognize its appearance because they have never met, it still has a way to confirm its identity the next time they meet, because the name Su Xiaoya itself is a code.
The little crow developed a thought in her mind that "only her mother would call her Su Xiaoya." Since finding her mother was her obsession, it was almost impossible for Su Xiaoya to betray her.
Although being a mother is something Lu Li finds hard to accept psychologically.
However, other wooden crows might not be so loyal. Even though these artifact spirits generally have a grudge against the White Moon Palace, the human heart is unpredictable. A soul that can think and has memories of its past life is far more difficult to control than an artifact spirit that does not have memories of its past life.
To be on the safe side, Lu Li has no plans to awaken more artifact spirits for the time being.
Then, following the directions on the map, he changed his clothes, concealed his identity as a complete stranger, entered the core area, and arrived at this pear orchard.
They originally came looking for the Ghost-Faced Flower, but after wandering around for almost half a day, they still haven't found a trace of it.
"Is the senior trying to trick me?"
"Yes, yes, she's trying to scam you, she's cheating."
"Shut up, you old man, you're so annoying."
From the beginning until now, Old Duan's words have never stopped, constantly nagging in her ear, disturbing her mind and making her feel uneasy, as if he was deliberately trying to annoy her to death.
"That's not right either. The terrain is indeed as shown on the map. Although this jade slip is relatively new, the map is quite old. With the passage of time and the changing of the world, it's normal for there to be some discrepancies since cultivators travel to this place every year. It's a headache."
Halfway there, he saw people fighting ahead. One of them was a burly man who looked human but not quite. Without saying a word, he raised his fist, which was as big as a millstone, and smashed it at her.
Lu Li stepped out with his left foot in a lunge position, his hands clasped in front of him, trying to block the opponent's attack. Seeing this, Ji Lie's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Unbelievable!"
boom!
The two collided, and as expected, Lu Li was blasted away. Feeling the sensation from the fist, Ji Lie realized something was wrong.
It's too light.
Moreover, the opponent's defense was both soft and hard. The punch he just threw seemed to send the opponent flying, but it didn't cause any real damage.
Could it be that the woman was also a Body Tempering cultivator?
Even if it were a cultivator at the Open Source Realm, taking that punch would have severely injured him. The three surviving deacons dared not confront him directly, avoiding him at all costs.
She was completely unharmed?
He was originally from a poor family and was a scholar who was once bullied by the cultivator Hongjun. He came to the Boundless Realm by being forced to come by the Qingyang Palace.
But everything changed after I arrived here.
What others would avoid at all costs was like a rare and precious elixir for him, as these countless tribulations gathered within his body, continuously strengthening his physical power.
In just three days, he went from being a thin, short scholar to becoming the top body trainer among the disciples, and every day after that, his body grew rapidly.
During this process, the way his fellow disciples looked at him changed, from initial disdain to surprise, and finally to fear and awe.
That kind of gaze was exactly the same as how the Qingzhou people looked at the Hongjun people.
From that moment on, Ji Lie felt superior to others, officially leaving the ranks of the Qingzhou people and becoming a member of the Hongjun people.
Not only that, his mutation continued. Gradually, the inner disciples who used to boss him around began to become respectful. He killed the enemy sect's steward in front of everyone, and more and more people began to fear and respect him.
Now, Lu Li has taken the attack head-on, dissipated the force, dusted himself off, and walked out of the forest.
"I have no grudge against you, so why did you attack me?"
"That's typical blue-axis thinking. Do I need a reason to hit you? Humph!"
Now that he is a member of Hongjun, he must change his original Qingzhou mindset and act in the way of Hongjun.
Ji Lie recalled the brothels of those aristocratic families, then put his hands on his hips, puffed out his cheeks, and turned his nose to the sky.
At this moment, a steward not far away clasped his hands in a salute to Lu Li and said:
"Fellow Daoist over there, this is nothing but a nouveau riche who got rich by sheer luck. He wants to kick everyone he sees. How about we join forces to suppress this scoundrel and then divide up the fragments he has afterward?"
"Who said I'm a nouveau riche? Say it again if you dare! I climbed up from the very bottom step by step. You bunch of second-generation immortals who were born into the Hongjun family don't understand anything at all."
Upon hearing this, even Old Duan, who had been incessantly nagging in Lu Li's ear, fell silent. Others might not know, but Lu Li was someone she had personally watched walk this path step by step.
In the period immediately following the receipt of the loan from the Reversal of Heavenly Dipper Instrument, her young disciple He Chuan was just as arrogant as Ji Lie.
In Duan Xuanyuan's eyes, Lu Li would also become such a person.
