I, Thanks To My Unlimited Investment, Am Admired By All Races
Chapter 369: Is He About to Leave?
"Still, now that I've reached the Saint King Realm, I'm no longer considered weak. There probably aren't many beings left who can truly stand above me," Li Xun murmured softly.
His mind relaxed somewhat.
Against opponents of the same realm, he was confident that he was invincible.
Even against those one major realm above him, he believed he could at least remain undefeated.
With his current strength, anyone wishing to defeat him would likely have to be a Quasi-Emperor.
If that day ever came...
He might have no choice but to ask that supreme being in the Abyssal Demons Burial for assistance.
"In the end, the people I've invested in simply aren't strong enough yet. If they all had time to grow, I wouldn't have to deal with so many problems."
Li Xun sighed quietly.
He lowered his gaze toward the storage ring on his hand, a trace of surprise flashing across his eyes.
With a flick of his wrist, a communication jade slip appeared in his palm, glowing with a faint radiance.
He extended his spiritual sense into it and read its contents.
A look of astonishment crossed his face.
"Qin Xueyi?"
He had never expected to receive a message from his fiancée at a time like this.
It had been so long that even he no longer knew where Qin Xueyi had gone.
This message, however, answered that lingering question.
Over the past several years, Qin Xueyi had long since left the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Without anyone noticing, she had traveled to the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
If Li Xun remembered correctly...
That star domain was also Lu Qingxian's homeland.
From the perspective of the current era, the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain had completely declined.
Although it had once enjoyed unparalleled glory—producing numerous Great Emperors throughout history and serving as the home of powers such as the Divine Phoenix Clan—It could no longer hide its present decline.
According to legend, within the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain, let alone Quasi-Emperors, even Great Saints were almost never seen.
Saint Kings were exceedingly rare.
Saints were considered the absolute peak experts.
Even cultivators of the Divine Palace Realm were honored as great powers.
By comparison, although Divine Palace Realm cultivators were also regarded as experts on the Desolate Ancient Continent, they were far from standing at the top.
After all, the Desolate Ancient Continent still had Quasi-Emperors openly existing.
To say nothing of the distant past, the fact that the Xiao Clan possessed a Quasi-Emperor was already common knowledge.
Moreover, during the recent Demon-Sealing Conference, there had been two more Quasi-Emperors manipulating events behind the scenes.
That alone meant there were already three Quasi-Emperors on the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Such a thing would have been unimaginable in the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
"Why would Qin Xueyi go there?"
A thoughtful look appeared in Li Xun's eyes.
Suddenly, he thought of Huang Xi.
When he had first met her, she had mentioned that she had sealed herself away for countless ages, intending to awaken only in the current era.
However...
Because of the system, she had awakened somewhat earlier than planned.
Naturally, Huang Xi herself knew nothing about that.
Following that line of reasoning...
The Heavenly Island Ancient Domain was unimaginably vast.
There were likely many powerful cultivators who, like Huang Xi, had chosen to seal themselves away.
Some entire sects might even have entered collective slumber.
If all those ancient experts were to awaken together, the number of powerful cultivators in the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain would likely increase by dozens of times.
Perhaps even hundreds of times.
Seen from that perspective, Qin Xueyi's decision to travel there suddenly made perfect sense.
Many ancient inheritances would inevitably emerge in the present era.
When they did, they would naturally open their gates to recruit disciples.
With Qin Xueyi's talent, she might even become the Holy Maiden of one of those ancient inheritances.
After all, she was no longer an ordinary cultivator.
She now possessed a genuine Immortal Spirit Body.
Even if it had been acquired rather than born with, it was still an Immortal Spirit Body.
"Mysterious as ever."
Li Xun chuckled softly.
Qin Xueyi's message had arrived quite unexpectedly.
Its contents merely invited him to the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
It seemed she wanted to ask for his help with something, yet her wording suggested she was too proud to state it outright.
At its core, she was simply too strong-willed.
Although she possessed the memories of her previous life, those memories only gave her the advantage of knowing certain future events in advance.
If she had been the world's only reincarnator, that would have been one thing.
As long as she avoided interfering in major events, the course of history would likely have remained largely unchanged.
What Qin Xueyi had never anticipated, however, was that from the very beginning of her reincarnation, the world itself had already changed.
The reason was Li Xun.
For the time being, other star domains had not yet been significantly affected.
But on the Desolate Ancient Continent, the original course of events had already been thrown completely into chaos.
Even Qin Xueyi had ultimately been forced to leave the Desolate Ancient Continent and travel to the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
Too many events had changed, thus, continuing to remain on the Desolate Ancient Continent no longer held much meaning for her.
Her greatest advantage—her ability to foresee the future—had become practically useless.
Traveling to the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain, on the other hand, was a much safer choice.
"Could it be that my transmigration has already begun affecting the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain as well?"
Li Xun pondered.
In his view, with Qin Xueyi's abilities and her knowledge of future events, she should have been able to survive comfortably in the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
Even if she couldn't dominate the region, she should at least have had no difficulty protecting herself.
Yet now, Qin Xueyi had put aside her pride and asked him for help.
That could only mean that events had begun slipping beyond her control and were developing in completely unpredictable directions.
"It seems I really do need to make a trip to the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain."
Li Xun silently made up his mind.
He lifted his foot and walked toward the palace entrance.
Just before reaching the door, however, he suddenly stopped.
"Big Brother Li Xun... are you inside?"
Chu Lingyue's voice came from outside.
She stood quietly before the palace, holding a tray laden with spiritual fruits.
A hesitant expression lingered on her delicate face.
"It's Miss Chu. Come in."
Li Xun waved his hand.
The palace doors opened automatically.
Chu Lingyue stepped inside.
Her gaze fell upon Li Xun.
She glanced around the palace hall, which was as neat and spotless as when it had first been built.
Her delicate body stiffened slightly.
In a soft voice, she asked, "Big Brother Li... are you preparing to leave?"
"That's right."
Li Xun nodded.
There was no reason to hide it.
He had indeed already decided to depart.
"Then... when do you plan to come back?" Chu Lingyue asked hopefully.
She no longer had a single relative left in the world.
Originally, she had still had the old steward.
But after he had left with severe injuries, he had yet to return.
Although Li Hai had informed her that Elder Wang was currently reconstructing his physical body, such a process was hardly something that could be completed in a day or two.
It would take at least several years.
Once Li Xun departed, she would be the only person left in this enormous palace complex.
There would be no one to keep her company.
"It's hard to say."
Li Xun gently shook his head.
His destination this time was the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
If he traveled there by flight alone, the journey would take at least several years.
As for using a teleportation formation...
He had no idea whether the Desolate Ancient Continent even possessed one connected to the Heavenly Island Ancient Domain.
Even if such a teleportation formation existed, it was almost certainly controlled by one of the great powers.
