Although he successfully killed the powerful man in the transformation stage, Li Xiuping's current situation was not optimistic, especially when he finally resolved the attack from the flying sword, which almost exhausted all his strength.
However, this is much better than the result of letting another person take action. At least except for the bloody right hand, the body did not suffer any serious injuries. It only needs to recover slowly and does not need to spend too much time repairing the damage to the body. .
"Not bad, now you can even kill the powerful ones in the transformation stage. Your previous attack method cannot be underestimated, but it is too risky. If you are not careful, even if you kill the opponent, you will also They will all end up dying together."
Li Xiuping continued to move forward in the air, but another Li Xiuping appeared directly, standing side by side with Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping said: "If I don't have a certain degree of certainty, I will naturally not take risks."
The other Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Yes, it has reached another level. When you can kill the strong ones in the distraction stage, we can merge. Then we will be in the true integration stage. Then forget it." Facing those old monsters who are in the tribulation period, they are still capable of fighting."
Li Xiuping just nodded and said nothing.
In fact, until now, Li Xiuping has never fully trusted himself, and Li Xiuping knows very well that when that time comes, it will never be as easy as he said, and what he needs to experience may be beyond his imagination.
But that step was still too far away for Li Xiuping now, so there was no need to think too much about it.
He is now at the thirteenth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he can barely fight against a strong person in the God Transformation Stage. This still requires the help of the dragon. It is simply impossible to reach the point where he can fight against a strong person in the Distraction Stage. Things that are out of reach.
Although there is only one realm between the distraction stage and the divine transformation stage, the gap between these realms is beyond what he can imagine now.
Take the senior Sword Master as an example. With one man and one sword, relying on his cultivation in the distraction stage, he was able to kill so many powerful warriors in the Taiyi Pavilion and the Star Observation Tower. It is enough to explain the gap between the distraction period and the transformation period.
On the thirteenth level of foundation building, I needed the help of that dragon and made myself so embarrassed to barely kill a strong man in the God Transformation stage. If I really want to be able to kill a strong man in the God Transformation stage by myself, according to Li Shuhei's understanding of the levels of the Foundation Establishment Stage must be at least around the 15th level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As for if you want to compete with a strong person in the distraction stage, you have to double it, which is the thirtyth level of the foundation building stage. And to kill a strong person in the distraction stage, you have to be at the thirtyth level of the foundation building stage. above.
He has already spent so much time and gone through so many hardships to reach the 13th level of foundation building. If he wants to reach the 30th level or above of foundation building, if he only relies on normal practice, he will not have to think about it for 1800 years. . But in his current state, can he live for that long?
But now that everything has become a fait accompli, we can only take it one step at a time. Thinking too much is of no use except making yourself more depressed.
Li Xiuping took off the jug from his waist and took a sip of wine. Then he gave the jug to the dragon and took a sip. He continued to move forward with his sword and asked, "How long will it take for those people to catch up?"
Another Li Xiuping said: "I won't be able to catch up for a while, but at your current speed, you can hold on until dark at most."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "That's enough."
The other Li Xiuping nodded, stopped talking, and directly integrated into Li Xiuping's body.
At this time, when he returns to Li Xiuping's body, the willow tree can help Li Xiuping recover to the greatest extent. As for the sword intent obtained in this battle, Li Xiuping cannot absorb it directly in his current state, so he should save it first. Get up, as for how long you can save, it all depends on how long it takes Li Xiuping to get rid of those strong men in the Star Observation Tower.
According to Li Xiuping's idea, he would first hold on until dark, and then let the jet-black dragon take his place, so that he could continue to recover the damage, or alternate with each other as before.
This is the only feasible way now. As for how long this situation can last, can he enter the realm of Emperor Wu City before those powerful people in the God Transformation Stage catch up with him? It all depends on God’s will.
Sure enough, after dark, Li Xiuping could no longer hold on. Although the dragon had the help of wine, it had not fully recovered. It could only hold on until midnight at most, and then Li Xiuping could only continue to wield the sword. Forward.
The further time goes by, the faster they will exchange, and the final result will be that both he and the dragon will be completely weak.
At that time, it is also the most dangerous time, because even if another Li Xiuping takes action, the backlash will definitely make Li Xiuping worse. If there is no other danger, that's it. But if there is danger, there will be no resistance at all. Ability.
After the dragon replaced Li Xiuping, although the speed was much faster, Li Xiuping was worried. While recovering from the wear and tear on his body, he was thinking about how to deal with it.
If they continue to run away, they will definitely not be able to escape, because in their current situation, it is impossible for them to persist until they enter the territory of Emperor Wu City. Once they all fall into weakness, they will inevitably be overtaken by the strong men in the Star Observation Tower, not to mention that he is now I don’t even know where Emperor Wu City is.
Since you can't escape, you can only think of other ways.
You can't escape, you can't fight, so what better way can you think of?
Li Xiuping was actually a little surprised. Since he had gotten rid of these guys, why were they still chasing him? Did they know that he was going to Emperor Wu City?
If this is the case, it can at least prove that he is going in the right direction, so even if these people can't feel his aura, they can catch up with him as long as they keep walking in the direction of Emperor Wu City.
If this is the case, then perhaps the best way to get rid of these strong men is to change direction and give up Emperor Wu City for the time being.
With this idea in his mind, Li Xiuping decided to try it first. At least he could confirm whether the powerhouses like Star Observation Tower chasing him all the time had something to do with Emperor Wu City.
Without Li Xiuping saying anything, the jet-black dragon immediately changed direction and headed south.
Just in case, Li Xiuping put all the treasures he had obtained before into the copper bowl, and then activated the runes on the copper bowl to completely isolate those treasures from the outside world.
Everything related to the Star Observation Tower must not let any breath leak out.
As the jet-black dragon moved south, Li Xiuping said directly: "Come on, transform the sword intent you obtained before."
Li Xiuping, who was sitting on the flower receptacle, was stunned, frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "It would be good to improve our strength a little more."
Li Xiuping on the tori said: "Once you undergo transformation and are caught up by those guys, I won't be able to save you."
Li Xiuping said: "The further back you go, the greater the danger. It's better to solve it as soon as possible."
Li Xiuping on the flower receptacle asked: "Do you really need this little power?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "For me now, no matter how small the strength, it may be the hope of survival."
Li Xiuping on the flower receptacle stopped talking and left Li Xiuping's body directly, moving up and down as before.
As another Li Xiuping appeared, energy began to appear from his body and then poured into Li Xiuping's body.
As these energies entered Li Xiuping's body, the fourteenth layer of spiritual crystals gradually began to emerge, condensing and forming little by little.
Both Li Xiuping must concentrate on this process and ignore any changes around them. Therefore, if they are attacked at this time, both Li Xiuping will suffer heavy losses, and all dangers can only be eliminated by the jet black dragon.
Fortunately, that jet-black dragon now possesses the strength of the Nascent Soul stage. Even some Nascent Soul stage monks do not dare to provoke them easily. As for those monsters hiding in the human world, they are already suppressed by the bloodline and dare not show their faces. .
In other words, the only ones who can threaten Li Xiuping now are the powerful ones in the God Transformation stage, and not all the powerful people in the God Transformation stage can be seen in the world. It is difficult to see one or two in ordinary times. It is impossible for Li Xiuping to follow him. You can meet them casually.
However, behind Li Xiuping, there were many strong men in the God Transformation stage. Once those strong men in the God Transformation stage caught up, Li Xiuping had not completed the transformation of these sword intentions. With only the pitch black dragon, he was afraid that he would not be able to use it at all. Li Xiuping's thoroughness cannot be protected.
It may be that Li Xiuping's method of changing the route was effective, or it may be that the speed of those powerful people in the transformation stage was too slow. During the process of Li Xiuping's transformation, those guys did not catch up.
At this moment, Li Xiuping has completed the transformation.
The sword intent obtained this time was actually quite a lot, but because the energy required for the fourteenth layer of spiritual crystals was extremely huge, after all the sword intent was transformed, only a small part of the spiritual crystals were obtained.
According to this situation, in order to complete the condensation of the fourteenth layer of spiritual crystals, it would take at least ten similar sword intents.
Sure enough, although it is only the foundation building period, as the realm gets higher and higher, it will become more and more difficult to improve. The key sword intent is not something that can be obtained in every battle, especially after reaching the current realm. It is difficult to generate new sword intent in ordinary battles. Unless it is a life-and-death battle where one puts one's life on the line and survives, the sword intent that can be obtained is pitiful, and there is no need for another Li Xiuping to come out and transform it for Li Xiuping. , he can do it himself.
At this moment, the dragon had reached its limit, and Li Xiuping did not move forward with his sword. Instead, he landed directly on the ground, chose to walk, and changed his route to continue eastward.
It was certain to go to Emperor Wu City. The reason for going south was just to get rid of the guys in the Star Observation Tower. But Li Xiuping knew very well that this method would not last long, because once those guys couldn't catch up with him, they would definitely guess. If you realize your own thoughts, you will still be able to catch up with yourself when the time comes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could take a good rest and figure out some situations, such as where to enter the dungeon, and when he could enter the boundaries of Emperor Wu City, etc.
Walking can reduce wear and tear to a great extent. As long as you don't run into any trouble, with the help of the jug of wine and the willow tree, it won't be a big problem to return to your peak. Moreover, some information can only be obtained on the ground.
What Li Xiuping needs most now is a map, a map that is accurate enough to mark the location of Emperor Wu City.
In order to get the map, you have to find the people first.
Li Xiuping, the sect on the mountain, naturally cannot go, because he still doesn't know the connections between the sects on the mountain. If he happens to enter a sect related to Taiyi Pavilion or Star Observation Tower, wouldn't he fall into a trap?
And even if the sect is not related to Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower, once it comes into contact with the monks on the mountain, its whereabouts will be quickly exposed, and the guys from Star Observation Tower will soon catch up.
Therefore, Li Xiuping could only go to the common people to inquire for information, but the energy among the common people was limited after all, and he might not be able to get the information he needed.
After walking eastward like this for a while, a small city soon appeared in front of him. Li Xiuping gathered all his aura and walked into the city.
After entering the city, Li Xiuping didn't stop at all. He first found a place where he could buy a map, bought a relatively accurate map, and then bought some medicinal materials that could help his injury. Soon Li Xiuping was I found that I didn't have much money on me, so even wanting to eat something to fill my stomach became a luxury.
Although he can now compete with the strong ones in the Transformation Stage, he is only in the Foundation Building Stage after all. It is impossible to eat the wind and drink the dew like those strong ones in the Nascent Soul Stage. He must eat, otherwise he will not be able to guarantee his physical strength, let alone Don't say anything else.
It turns out that even if you become an immortal, you will still be unable to move forward without money.
Li Xiuping planned to find an organization to exchange some money first. In fact, he didn't have much that could be sold at the moment. The Qingmu was not suitable. After all, Huang Qing's soul was still sealed in it. Although the hope of resurrecting it was slim. But there is hope in returning it, so no matter what you sell, you cannot sell this sword.
As for those immortal treasures, it was even more impossible. They were all used by Li Xiuping to save his life, and nothing less would be enough.
In addition to these, there are actually those treasures he obtained before, but those treasures came from the Star Observation Tower after all. In order to avoid being caught up by the powerful people in the Star Observation Tower, these treasures must not be revealed to others now, otherwise his whereabouts will soon be exposed.
After rummaging around, the only things that could be sold were the Qiankun bags left behind.
Things like the Qiankun Bag can't actually be sold for much money, so Li Xiuping keeps it, otherwise it would have been pawned by him.
Fortunately, he doesn't need a huge sum of money now, he just needs to solve the problem of food and clothing. If he sells one or two Qiankun bags, as long as it is not a big fish or meat, it will be enough for him to eat all the way to Emperor Wu City.
After Li Xiuping bought the map, he asked the map seller about the surrounding situation.
Although the map is good, it only marks some reference objects and routes. No matter how clever the map is, it is still dead after all, but people are different.
People who sell maps are naturally living maps, so they know things that are not on the map.
After talking with each other, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. The person who bought the map of Emperor Wu City had no idea where it was. The only thing he could find out was that there was an Immortal Cultivation Sect to the east, which was the largest sect in the area. The gate is actually similar to the existence of Jiuyuan Mountain.
Li Xiuping might have thought that such a sect was very impressive when he was in Yunzhou before, but now in Li Xiuping's eyes, such a sect was too weak, so weak that he could easily destroy it by himself.
A sect like Jiuyuan Mountain can only have at most two or three young Nascent Soul stage people in charge. Even if the sect's inheritance is added to the sect-protecting formation, it can stand up to the sky and be able to compete with a strong person in the God Transformation stage, and he Now, by cooperating with the dragon, he can display the strength similar to that of a strong person in the transformation stage. If another one takes action, he can directly compete with a strong person in the distraction stage.
After that, Li Xiuping inquired all the way and almost walked through the entire town. Finally, he found an institution that could pawn spiritual treasures. He sold several Qiankun bags and got a dozen spiritual stones.
Although spiritual stones are precious, they are not easy to trade in the secular world at the foot of the mountain. You have to find an institution that can trade spiritual treasures. Most people will not collect spiritual stones at all, and even if they are knowledgeable, they will not be able to find them.
Li Xiuping was destined not to have much contact with the spiritual world in the future, so he directly replaced all these spiritual stones with ordinary gold and silver.
When it was a spiritual stone, there were only a few pieces, but if it were converted into gold and silver, it would be a pile.
Li Xiuping looked at the pile of gold and silver and suddenly felt a sense of fulfillment.
In fact, he has never owned so much gold and silver. The most he ever had was when he was trading with Chen Wanrong in Yunzhou, but later those gold and silver were actually exchanged for spiritual stones.
Although Li Xiuping had countless wealth after that, it was all in the form of spiritual stones. Even if he sometimes needed to use ordinary gold and silver, he would only pawn one or two spiritual stones, not many. At that time, Li Xiuping didn't have to worry about contacting the monks on the mountain, so he could redeem it at any sect.
After Li Xiuping put all the gold and silver into the Qiankun bag, he left the institution. After seeing that it was still early, he decided not to stay here and planned to continue eastward.
According to the map, although there was only one sect similar to Jiuyuan Mountain in the east, there was also a larger city. Li Xiuping felt that he should be able to get more information there, or at least get a larger and more accurate map.
Li Xiuping was walking along the street, but was stopped by a group of people for no reason.
Li Xiuping looked up and saw that there were quite a few people on the other side, exactly eight. They were all men, not very old, and they were wearing exactly the same clothes. They should be from the same cultivation sect.
These people all carry a long sword on their backs and a jade plaque hanging on their waists. The jade plaques are similar in style but have different inscriptions on them. They should be used to indicate their identity.
Among the eight people, the oldest was in his mid-twenties, and the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen years old. No matter how big or small, everyone's face was full of arrogance.
The last thing Li Xiuping wants to find at this time is trouble, but trouble always likes to find him.
With the idea of bearing it as long as he could, Li Xiuping took the initiative to move out of the way, intending to let this group of people pass first.
However, even if he moved out of the way, the group of people did not leave. Instead, they stared at him, or more accurately, at the dragon on her shoulder.
One person said: "Do you want to sell that cub of yours?"
As soon as these words came out, before Li Xiuping could speak, the dragon became unhappy and grinned at the group of people.
