On an island with a radius of less than ten miles, a young man was roasting a sea crab as big as a basin over a fire. The aroma was wafting out.
Little did the young man know that danger was approaching.
At this time, Xiao Zhi was standing beside him, looking at him coldly, but he was completely unaware of it.
Xiao Zhi raised his hand, stretched out his palm, and pressed directly on the young man's head, using the perfection level [Searching Soul and Seizing Soul] he had mastered.
His time was precious, and he had no time to waste on this, so he directly used a soul-searching technique he had mastered to search for the soul of the player in front of him.
For god-level players, soul searching is a very useful way to obtain information. It is simple and direct. The information obtained is enough, and you will not be misled by lies. The only disadvantage is:
May cause permanent trauma to the performer.
If the opponent is an innocent passerby, Xiao Zhi usually will not use this trick.
But these players were obviously here for him, so Xiao Zhi had nothing to worry about.
After Xiao Zhi held his head down with his palm, the young player's body trembled, and his face soon showed an expression of extreme pain.
The next second, Xiao Zhi's expression suddenly changed. The young player whose head was pressed by his hand suddenly widened his eyes and looked ferocious!
Xiao Zhi pulled away and flew back.
Hearing a bang, the young player blew himself up on the spot, his flesh and bones shooting out in all directions like bullets!
A mere golden elixir-level self-destruction would naturally not harm Xiao Zhi at all.
Xiao Zhi's figure was hanging in mid-air, and his body was not stained by dust, but his face looked a little ugly.
There is actually a layer of protection mechanism in the memory of this golden elixir player. This protection mechanism is like a wall, resisting Xiao Zhi's exploration.
Just when Xiao Zhigang tried to forcefully break through this restriction, the golden elixir player exploded, his body and soul were destroyed, and his body was destroyed.
Xiao Zhi's figure only stayed in mid-air for a moment, then turned into nothing and disappeared.
A few seconds later, another explosion occurred more than two hundred miles away.
The explosion created a large crater on the ground, and the splash of golden blood penetrated the trunk of a large tree ten feet away.
Tens of feet away, Xiao Zhi stood in mid-air, his face looking even more ugly.
That's it again.
'It seems that there are masters behind these people...'
'The Dao realm cannot do this. This expert is at least a god. In terms of the ability to defend against soul searching, this guy is even stronger than the original Taibai Xingjun!'
"I don't believe it yet." Xiao Zhi didn't believe in evil, so he went to other places to find trouble for other players.
As a result, a few more exploded.
For the remaining few, Xiao Zhi changed his strategy and no longer forcibly searched for souls. Instead, he let Li Kuo control them with illusions and then conducted questioning.
As a result, asking questions was useless.
When he asked questions, these players all had blank expressions on their faces, unable to ask for any key information.
Not only were these players restricted in their memories and unable to search for souls, but some of their key memories were also sealed, making it impossible to ask questions.
"You people are really pathetic. You have worked so hard to cultivate to the foundation building stage and the golden elixir realm, but in the end you are used as gunmen and cannon fodder. You can't even retain your own memories..." Xiao Zhiqing
Sighed.
Several players standing in front of him had blank expressions on their faces when they heard this.
Xiao Zhi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them anymore. With a wave of his hand, a black light like water poured towards these players.
The players standing in front of him were instantly reduced to ashes!
Xiao Zhi's face was as sinking as water and he began to separate himself.
One way, two ways, three ways.
He condensed three Nascent Soul-level clones in one breath and ordered: "If there are players from a hostile world in the future who dare to approach this water area, kill one by one, kill a pair by two!"
"Yes." Three Nascent Soul-level clones lined up in a row and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Zhi said no more, turned around and left.
The avatar has a certain level of intelligence. The stronger the avatar is, the higher its level of intelligence will be.
After Xiao Zhi left, the three Nascent Soul-level clones quickly dispersed and began to patrol the waters.
Their strength is not very strong, they are only at the level of the late Nascent Soul, but this strength is enough to deal with ordinary players from another world.
As for Xiao Zhi's true self, he returned to the deep water.
Xiao Zhi sat by the quiet spring pool, his face as sinking as water.
The players he killed were just small fish and shrimps. The person behind them was the big fish.
Now, someone is already staring at him.
He is not the king of Qingyuan World, but a god in the world affiliated to Qingyuan World, and someone is actually watching him.
This is not a good sign.
This probably means that his previous guess was true!
There are really already players in the world who are secretly holding together!
It was this group of people who monitored him.
It was the same group of people who planned to intercept King Yan in the first place!
The surveillance of him by this group of people seemed relatively subtle, but in fact, in his opinion, it was already blatant.
Does this mean that they will take action against Qingyuan World in the near future?
And before taking action against Qingyuan World, these people will most likely take action against him and his Dachang World!
'During the next guard mission in Qingyuan World, it is very likely that they will attack me!' Xiao Zhi said silently in his heart.
Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in his heart became even stronger!
He stood up and looked at the pool of water next to him.
'My current cultivation speed is at least twice as fast as before, but this is still not enough to allow me to break through to the intermediate level of a god in a short period of time.'
'Judging from the current situation, there may not be much time left for me to practice.'
'My current strength is not enough, I must find a way to quickly become an intermediate god! Otherwise, my world and I may be doomed!' Xiao Zhi's face was full of solemn expression.
'Ordinary Nether Spring water can more than double my cultivation speed, so what about the enhanced version of Nether Spring water? If I enter it, how much can it increase my cultivation speed?'
'The enhanced version of the Nether Spring Water's corrosive power is much stronger than the ordinary version of the Nether Spring Water. Even artifacts cannot survive its corrosion, let alone living people.
.'
'Can I withstand this level of corrosive power?'
‘Whether you can handle it or not, you’ll know after you give it a try.’ Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and his eyes suddenly became firm.
Just do it.
Xiao Zhi quickly took out all the enhanced versions of the Youquan water he had collected and melted them together.
Then he took out the earth and rocks transformed by the water of the quiet spring, and placed an enhanced version of the quiet spring pool next to the quiet spring pool.
No, this is not qualified to be described as a pool, it can only be described as a puddle, because the water contained in it is too little.
After everything was ready, Xiao Zhi stood next to the enhanced version of the Youquan puddle. Looking at the clear and transparent puddle in front of him, he felt a little scared.
‘Should I be gone as soon as I jump in, right?’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
What he feels now is like an ordinary person standing in front of a large pool of concentrated sulfuric acid. Taking a step forward requires great courage.
‘Fight! I’m a powerful beginner after all, there’s no way I can’t hold on for a second here, right?’
'Don't talk for a second, even if I can only hold on for a tenth of a second, I still have time to jump out!'
Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and began to prepare for the 'diving'.
The Yuanlong form is necessary, and then the ability to "speak and follow" is used to strengthen one's own defense.
Just in case, he also called the demon Li Kuo over.
When Xiao Zhi made his decision, Li Kuo's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Master, are you crazy!? This is the enhanced water of the quiet spring, which can even fuse artifacts.
The terrifying strange water fell, and you actually want to jump in!?"
Xiao Zhi said calmly: "I'm not crazy, I'm very sane. Although this is a bit dangerous, it can speed up my cultivation and help me become an intermediate god faster."
Li Kuo was a little confused and said: "Master, you are a god with endless longevity. The road to cultivation is long. You don't have to fight for this moment. You can just take your time to figure it out."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He also wanted to take his time and take his time, but he had no time. He had to fight for this moment!
Because this matter involves players, there is no way to talk to Li Kuo.
Xiao Zhi did not want to make up reasons to deceive Li Kuo, so he had to say in a rather tough tone: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more."
Xiao Zhi said so, what else could Li Kuo say?
After sighing, he nodded and said, "I understand. I wish you all the best, master, and become an intermediate god as soon as possible."
After saying that, he took a small step back and stopped trying to stop Xiao Zhi.
Seeing that Li Kuo's mood was a little low, Xiao Zhi was silent for a moment and said: "I don't want to be like this. I actually do this because I have no choice but to say it now. If there is a chance in the future, I will work with him."
You elaborated."
Li Kuodao: "Is it related to the Qingyuan Empire?"
Xiao Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Kuo asked again: "Is the Qingyuan Empire trying to harm you, master?"
This time, Xiao Zhi did not respond, but lightly jumped forward and jumped into the small puddle in front of him.
The moment he jumped in, Xiao Zhi felt a stinging pain all over his body, and almost screamed.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Every second that followed was a kind of torture for Xiao Zhi.
This stinging feeling when the whole body is corroded is comparable to the late stage of soul-slaying!
Xiao Zhi persisted in this enhanced version of the Youquan puddle for a total of twenty seconds. Finally, he could no longer hold on and jumped out of the puddle!
At this time, thick smoke was billowing out from his whole body. This was his divine body, which was still being eroded by the water from the spring remaining on his body.
It wasn't until a few more seconds passed that the thick smoke dissipated.
By this time, Xiao Zhi had been corroded beyond human form.
Almost all the flesh and blood on his body had been corroded away, leaving only a frame of bones as clear as jade, which looked extremely oozing.
Even the skeleton showed signs of corrosion in large areas.
It's simply miserable.
Li Kuo stood aside and looked at Xiao Zhi with a worried expression on his face.
Xiao Zhi said, "It's okay. This injury looks serious, but it's actually not that serious. I can heal it in minutes."
At this time, Xiao Zhi could no longer speak with his mouth. This sound was made by Xiao Zhi through the concussion of his divine power.
With that said, Xiao Zhi summoned the Dharma Appearance of the Great Mighty Heavenly King, and asked the Dharma Appearance of the Great Mighty Heavenly King to use his ability of 'speaking and following the law' to treat his injuries.
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhi's body was filled with flesh and blood again, and he returned to his former appearance, except that his face was slightly pale.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said to Li Kuo standing next to him: "Look, isn't it healed now?"
When Li Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My master is brave and invincible. It seems that I am worrying too much."
Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged next to a puddle and rested for a while.
Just now, in order to restore his physical body, most of the divine power in his body was consumed. Now, he needs to go through the divine world and replenish his divine power before he can start a new round of training.
After a while, Xiao Zhi, who had almost recovered, jumped forward slightly and jumped into the seemingly ordinary puddle in front of him.
A new round of suffering began again.
Twenty seconds later, Xiao Zhi's endurance reached the limit, and he jumped out of the water again with thick smoke billowing from his body.
When the thick smoke dissipated, Xiao Zhi was left with only a skeleton.
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhi, whose body was filled with flesh and blood again, sat on the ground with a pale face, looking a little sad.
Facts have proved that even this enhanced version of the water from the quiet spring cannot kill him.
But being unable to kill him doesn't mean that he can practice well in this enhanced version of the quiet spring water.
The corrosive power of this water was so strong that in just 20 seconds, he was reduced to a skeleton.
20 seconds is already his limit. If he holds on any longer, his body and soul may be gone.
What can he do in 20 seconds? What can he practice in 20 seconds? What can he study in 20 seconds?
Moreover, during these 20 seconds, he could not devote himself wholeheartedly to practice. The intense painful feeling when his body was being corroded consumed most of his energy.
In addition, he also needs to maintain his own defense to delay the erosion by the water of the spring, which will also consume a lot of his energy.
His energy has been consumed like this, what else can he use to comprehend this enhanced version of the water from the quiet spring?
It seems that it is a bit unrealistic to rely on this enhanced version of the water from the quiet spring to speed up cultivation...
But if he just gave up this path of cultivation, Xiao Zhi felt a little reluctant.
‘What should I do to use this enhanced version of the water from the quiet spring to practice?’ Xiao Zhi frowned and thought hard while replenishing his divine power through the divine world.
