Chapter 817: Chapter 387: Closing the Tianming Jiuyou Channel
Liu Ningshuang and her group actually had no plans to follow. After hearing about the awakening of the Jiuyou Demons, they felt a greater sense of urgency and thought about cultivating diligently to quickly become stronger.
Thus, Ling Luo Peak Master and Lu Yi transformed into streaks of light and left the White Cloud Immortal Sect, flying towards the sea.
During this time, as the concentration of Immortal Spirit Qi in Ling Luo Peak continued to increase, Lu Yi often preached, and the Ling Luo Peak Master’s strength also increased rapidly.
Although her rate of improvement was not as fast as Liu Ningshuang and the others, considering her originally high Cultivation Base, the Ling Luo Peak Master was now at the Peak of Profound Immortal, just one step away from Golden Immortal.
If it had been in the past, even if the Ling Luo Peak Master had exceptional talent, the bottleneck of Golden Immortal would have trapped her for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years.
But that was before. Now, the Ling Luo Peak Master often listened to Lu Yi’s teachings and had achieved Great Success in understanding the Illusion Law, so breaking through to Golden Immortal was as easy as turning her hand over; there were no bottlenecks, and a few months of introspection would allow her to break through.
This also meant that the Ling Luo Peak Master was getting closer and closer to becoming a Golden Immortal.
The two were flying in the sky, and Lu Yi noticed that the Ling Luo Peak Master’s speed was not fast, quite slow for a Profound Immortal.
He looked at the Ling Luo Peak Master with some confusion and asked, “Master, are you feeling unwell? Why are you flying so slowly? Oh, right, I can use space transference to take you directly.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master originally had a distant expression as if she was pondering something. Hearing Lu Yi’s words, she snapped back to reality, her pretty face showing a trace of embarrassment as she spoke, “No need for space transference.”
“Really no need? Why do I feel, Master, that you seem a bit uncomfortable?”
A flying speed that was hardly faster than a True Immortal’s for a Profound Immortal was somewhat absurd, right?
The Ling Luo Peak Master’s mouth twitched slightly, then she coughed and said evasively, “I’m fine… By the way, you rascal, are the Jiuyou Demons really that strong? Are you confident you can handle them if that so-called Demon God of the Jiuyou Demons comes to our universe?”
Hearing this, a serious look flashed in Lu Yi’s eyes as he let out a breath of stale air and chuckled lightly, “Honestly, I’m not sure. If I break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, I am one hundred percent confident I can handle them; if I am in the Immortal King Realm, then I can only be somewhat confident to resist them, but to kill them, I’m not sure I can do it. If I’m only at the Immortal Venerate Realm and haven’t broken through to Immortal King yet, and if they have already started a real invasion of our universe, then I’m also not sure how much confidence I have to deal with them.”
What Lu Yi said was the truth.
Although he was strong with a solid foundation, the gap between Immortal Venerate and Immortal Emperor was too big after all.
Immortal King and Immortal Venerate were completely different dimensions, and being at the Cultivation Base of Great Success, Immortal Emperor, he was much stronger than Immortal King, the gap between them was probably even bigger than from Heavenly Immortal to Immortal Venerate?
Especially since the strength of the Jiuyou Demons was originally a bit stronger than that of cultivators at the same level.
If the attack of the Jiuyou Demons comes very quickly within a few hundred to a thousand years, even if his cultivation speed is fast, he can only break through to the Immortal Venerate Realm by then, and Lu Yi himself was not confident whether he could handle the Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses of the Jiuyou Demons.
Hearing Lu Yi’s words, the Ling Luo Peak Master’s expression turned slightly odd, as she looked at the rapidly passing mountains in the distance and asked, “Even using that secret technique with Ningshuang and the others would not work?”
“That secret technique?” Lu Yi was startled, then understood what his own master meant. His lips twitched slightly, but he still said, “If I’m at the Immortal Venerate Realm, even using all my trump cards, I might still not be able to handle an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master thoughtfully nodded her head.
Lu Yi, somewhat puzzled, asked, “Master, why are you suddenly asking me this question?”
The Ling Luo Peak Master paused, then scratched her long hair fluttering in mid-flight. Even she had a flushed face, somewhat guilty, as she looked around and said, “Ahem… I was thinking, my strength is somewhat stronger than Ningshuang and the others. If it really comes to it, I can also use that secret technique with you…”
The more the Ling Luo Peak Master spoke, the more embarrassed she became, her pretty face almost like it was on fire, nearly steaming.
As she spoke, she hurriedly explained, “After all, I am your Master, and a master cannot just watch her disciple striving hard while doing nothing on the side. I feel I should also strive a bit.”
Lu Yi: “…”
He stared at the Ling Luo Peak Master in astonishment, never expecting his own master to say such a thing.
But then again… it wasn’t wrong for a master to not want to just watch her disciple work hard but to strive alongside him.
However, wasn’t the direction of the effort a bit… off?
Lu Yi’s lips twitched, his expression quite strange as he looked at Ling Luo Peak Master’s crimson face.
Ling Luo Peak Master also noticed Lu Yi’s odd expression, becoming annoyed and glaring at him, quite gritting her teeth: “What about it? What’s with that look, you rascal? Did your master say something wrong?”
Lu Yi cleared his throat and his smile grew mischievously, “No, of course not, Master should indeed strive as well.”
To say he had no lecherous thoughts about his own master would certainly be impossible, but he had always been unsure of his master’s real attitude.
