188: Why does that big shot care so much about Li Yan?
Success!
This time, Li Yan didn't even need to use the Heavenly Ancient Dao Pattern; he was able to draw a perfect spatial rift.
The Host has gained new Comprehension Ability of the Space Rending Claw, advancing from Minor Achievement to Major Achievement!
Minor Achievement Effect: Can use the Space Rending Claw to kill enemies a hundred miles away, or open a rift to instantly move a hundred miles away.
This is good!
Li Yan found that after the side effects of the Drunken Immortal Pill reversed, it was simply too comfortable.
“In the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, I achieved this Comprehension Ability.”
“Again! I’ll strive for Great Perfection.”
Li Yan began to tirelessly practice the Space Rending Claw, allowing himself to travel through the Chaos rifts!
Slowly, he also began to feel that within the opened rifts, the Chaos Space was actually a very terrifying place.
If one couldn't precisely pinpoint a location, those who dared to enter the Chaos Space might get lost there.
However, with the Ancient Dragon King's Space Rending Claw, as long as a line was drawn well, he could pass through it in an instant every time.
“I understand…”
“I absolutely cannot stay in the Chaos Space for too long; instant movement must be as fast as possible.”
Li Yan, constantly drawing lines, improved with each attempt.
From being able to open spatial rifts a hundred miles away, to two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, and five hundred miles!
His Comprehension Ability speed, calculated by the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, meant that for every stick of incense that burned out, Li Yan could advance another hundred miles.
At this rate, his escape plan was just around the corner!
After several hours passed, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Yan's face.
“With the Space Rending Claw at Major Achievement, I can be in Forget Dust Hall and strike Cloud City a thousand miles away with one claw.”
At this moment, if Li Yan wished, by locking onto a target with his Divine Sense, he could take someone's head from a thousand miles away!
With a single thought, he could cleave open a spatial rift leading to Cloud City.
The Ancient Dragon King's secret Spell was indeed powerful.
However, the more he knew, the deeper his fear became.
The powerful Ancient Dragon King, relying on the Ancient Dragon's spatial-temporal secret Spell, still couldn't contend with White Jade Capital…
It seems he also needed to hide within the Gui Xu Realm Abyss and settle down for a period of time before he could even think about confronting White Jade Capital.
As long as he entered the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, that Secret Realm where time stood still, he would be invincible!
Once Li Yan could enter the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, it was likely no one could defeat him within the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.
Thinking of this, he became even more motivated.
“Very good, Cultivation Technique at Major Achievement, now to charge! Grandmaster!”
As he spoke, Li Yan consumed another Drunken Immortal Pill, continuing to stimulate his Comprehension Ability talent.
At this rate, he would surely succeed in his escape within half a month!
At this moment, he was full of vigor.
He had learned the Space Rending Claw, a divine skill that also allowed for instant movement; one Spell could serve two purposes.
But just as Li Yan was constantly researching and refining the Space Rending Claw, Immortal Weng with One Eye at the South Heaven Gate saw something again.
The same few Immortal maidens from before flew over to find Immortal Weng with One Eye.
Seeing this, Immortal Weng with One Eye was almost having a stress reaction.
This one-eyed old man had just been quite spirited in front of Yan Poshan, but facing these Immortal maidens, he assumed the posture of a doormat.
“Sisters, what are your commands?”
“I have already given Li Yan special attention and sent him many Drunken Immortal Pills.”
The Immortal maidens, however, sternly snorted.
“How dare you!”
“How could you!”
“Give him something like the Drunken Immortal Pill to eat?”
“You old dog, you must be tired of living!”
The Immortal maidens suddenly, without rhyme or reason, began to scold Immortal Weng with One Eye mercilessly.
Immortal Weng with One Eye was so stunned by the scolding that he knelt down with a thud, lowering his head tremblingly and saying,
“This old servant… this old servant does not know what I did to offend you, dear sisters, please tell me clearly!”
The Immortal maidens, draped in white veils with flowing cloud sleeves, looked down at Immortal Weng with One Eye.
“How could you have the nerve to give him trash like the Drunken Immortal Pill?”
“This Li Yan is an Immortal Pill designated by the Immortal family; what if feeding him Drunken Immortal Pills harms him?”
At this moment, Immortal Weng with One Eye was on the verge of tears.
Despite his outward prestige, any Immortal in White Jade Capital could kick him to death with one foot.
Immortal Weng with One Eye was like a dog by the roadside.
Serving these Immortals with strange tempers was simply too difficult.
It was truly not easy for him to have lived until today.
Looking at these furious Immortal maidens, Immortal Weng with One Eye repeatedly kowtowed for mercy.
“Dear sisters! This old servant knows his mistake, this old servant will change it! I will change it right away!”
Watching Immortal Weng with One Eye, the old bald man, groveling on the ground, the Immortal maidens stared at him with disdain.
“Remember this!”
“Li Yan is the person the Immortal family specifically named.”
“If anything happens to him, we wouldn't mind refining you.”
As they spoke, these outwardly pure Immortal maidens morbidly licked their lips.
Their tongues, like the forked tongues of venomous snakes, hissed out.
It was as if, in their eyes, Immortal Weng with One Eye was also a delicacy.
The old Weng almost pressed his body against the white jade bricks: “Please, sisters, tell that esteemed one on my behalf that even if this old servant is pulverized, I will not let anything happen to Li Yan!”
The Immortal maidens in their shimmering robes raised their heads and stared at Immortal Weng with One Eye with their eerie eyes.
“Hmm, you must send a White Jade Bamboo Slip daily to report on Li Yan's situation.”
Immortal Weng with One Eye was stunned: “Daily?”
“Hmm!?”
The Immortal maiden raised her voice, scaring Immortal Weng with One Eye into quickly agreeing.
“Yes! This old servant will report all of Li Yan's information to that esteemed one daily!”
“This old servant will immediately send the Immortal crane to deliver the best Spirit Pill and wondrous medicine to Li Yan!”
Only after Immortal Weng with One Eye made his promise did the Immortal maidens fly away on clouds, leaving behind a few graceful figures.
At this moment, Immortal Weng with One Eye became utterly dejected.
“What has happened to this old man? How did I pick up Li Yan, this plague god?”
“Ever since I picked him up, that esteemed one asks daily, asks every single day! Always concerned about Li Yan's situation.”
Immortal Weng with One Eye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: “It's agony; I must send Li Yan up as soon as possible to get rid of this fellow.”
“It's strange, too; various places offer many high-quality Immortal Pills every day.”
“Why does that esteemed one insist on focusing on Li Yan?”
He couldn't understand, truly couldn't understand.
Immortal Weng with One Eye thought for ten days and ten nights but still couldn't figure out why that esteemed one had a special fondness for Li Yan.
“Sigh, I can only accept my bad luck.”
“Even if it means emptying my family's coffers, I must ensure this Li Yan ascends to Immortality.”
Immortal Weng with One Eye, with great reluctance, pulled out an Immortal Pill he had treasured for many years.
This Immortal Pill, even just a whiff of it, could cause one's cultivation to surge.
Immortal Weng with One Eye slowly opened the box, and a pink-gold aura wafted out.
He placed it at the tip of his nose and took a deep breath; the feeling, the refreshing sensation.
“Sigh, my treasure, I can only give it away.”
“Come, you few Alchemy disciples, transform into Immortal cranes and descend to the Lower Realm.”
“Deliver this Immortal Pill to Li Yan and retrieve all of his Drunken Immortal Pills!”
Meanwhile, Li Yan, through Yan Poshan, his informant, saw the situation above.
“This isn't good, they're coming to take my Drunken Immortal Pills…”
