208: potential!

“The world you opened up… it couldn’t be that species of that level have already appeared, could it?”

Just now, when Li Qi asked his question, Feng Xiuran felt that Li Qi was being somewhat mysterious, as if he was trying to conceal something.

And when Li Qi asked whether extremely powerful species would be born in the world, he even gave specific Realm levels: Divine Soul Realm and Yan Fa Realm, which almost made Feng Xiuran lose his composure.

Looking at Feng Xiuran, who had a suspicious expression, Li Qi’s face was as usual, without a trace of abnormality, and he said calmly:

“Nothing of the sort, Senior Brother Feng, don’t overthink it. I was just asking casually.”

“Just asking casually?” Feng Xiuran’s expression became even more suspicious.

“Yes.”

Seeing that Li Qi wouldn’t speak, Feng Xiuran shook his head helplessly and continued to explain:

“The kind of extremely powerful species you mentioned, strong enough to rival the Divine Soul Realm and even the Yan Fa Realm… it’s not impossible.”

“But this involves another important factor… and that is the potential of the world you opened up!”

“Potential?”

“Yes, potential.”

“This Junior Brother is dull, I don’t understand what this ‘potential’… means?”

Feng Xiuran explained slowly: “It’s very simple. This potential can be understood as the foundation of the world you opened up! It represents its future upper limit!”

“A world with low potential is like a pond. The pond is not only small but also very shallow.

As the saying goes, a shallow pond cannot raise a Dragon. Powerful species will never be born in such a pond.”

“Only a world like the vast ocean… can give birth to powerful species like Dragons!”

Li Qi nodded slowly: “I see.”

“Just as Senior Brother said, even if the world opened up is complete, if its potential is not enough, powerful species will not be born.”

Feng Xiuran nodded slowly: “Indeed.”

Then Li Qi asked another key question: “How can I improve the world’s potential?”

“That’s hard to say. There’s no unified explanation, and I’m not very clear on it either, because my world doesn’t have such extremely powerful species.”

“But as far as I know, the potential of an opened world is related to the Aptitude of a World King Realm expert. For example, if you have a Double Earth-grade Aptitude, there’s a very high chance that these powerful species will be born.”

“And I’ve heard it’s also related to some exotic treasures. Certain treasures, once refined and absorbed by the world, can enhance its potential.”

Having asked this far, Li Qi no longer had any doubts. He had already figured out how that Crane Child came to be.

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for clearing my confusion. I have no more questions,” Li Qi said with a slight smile.

But Feng Xiuran was still not giving up. He continued to ask: “Are there really no such species in your world?”

“No, Senior Brother, you’re overthinking it.”

Li Qi’s expression was normal, and Feng Xiuran shrugged, then stopped asking.

No matter what, one should always keep some trump cards. Li Qi’s Crane Child is extremely powerful, having reached the Early Stage World King Realm. Such strength is extremely outrageous and truly inconvenient to inform others about.

He had just understated it. Feng Xiuran only guessed that his Azure Void Realm had Divine Soul Realm or Yan Fa Realm creatures.

If this Senior Brother Feng knew that Li Qi’s world contained a hundred World King Realm creatures… he would surely be scared sick.

After Li Qi chatted with Feng Xiuran for a few more sentences, Feng Xiuran left. Afterwards, Li Qi continued to browse some Yan Fa Realm cultivation materials there, preparing to open up a second world.

A day later, Li Qi also left the Scripture Pavilion and returned to his residence.

However, when Li Qi returned to his residence and closed the door, he couldn’t help but be slightly startled; there was movement from within his Azure Void Realm.

He looked into the Azure Void Realm and found that it was the broken sword that was trembling, constantly calling out to Li Qi.

Li Qi didn’t delay. His figure flickered, and he immediately entered the Azure Void Realm.

Upon arriving in the Azure Void Realm palace, Li Qi saw an eye emerge again on the broken sword on the altar, and this eye was staring directly at Li Qi’s figure.

“Li Qi, I sense it…”

Li Qi’s expression changed, and he asked: “What do you sense?”

And blood vessels began to appear on the eye of the broken sword: “I sense the Devilish Qi of an alien demon…”

Alien demon!?

Li Qi’s expression changed, startled: “Devilish Qi of an alien demon? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

He had been in the Four Seas Sect these past two days and hadn’t gone anywhere, yet this broken sword claimed to sense the Devilish Qi of an alien demon, which almost made Li Qi lose control.

What did this mean?

This meant that the Devilish Qi of that alien demon… was right here in the Four Seas Sect!

“Where is the Devilish Qi of the alien demon you mentioned coming from?”

The eye on the broken sword did not blink, and slowly said: “That Qi… is on your Senior Brother Feng Xiuran!”
