Chapter 40

With a thoughtful expression, Ji Xian silently muttered to himself, Recreating this rune will allow me to work from the ground up and build my knowledge on it. From there, finding the solution would be much easier.

Hmm, lets' just do it."

With this thought, he no longer hesitated. He sent a strand of spiritual sense to Xia Lihua, informing her that he will need some time to solve the formation before putting his focus on the simulations.

At a distance away from him, Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin were waiting in silence.

Xia Lihua had received a message from Ji Xian earlier so she was aware of the current situation. A curious light flashed in her eyes and she released her spiritual sense once more to carefully examine the formation.

She quietly muttered, A formation created from using a different method from the Lower World and a unique energy equivalent to True Essence but it contains a corrosive quality Interesting.

Xia Lihua was surprised to learn about this information from Ji Xian.

Other than True Essence and Astral Essence, are there other types of Essence that people can cultivate? If thats the case, doesnt that mean theres another type of cultivation system, another way to cultivate? Unless this corrosive energy comes from outside this universe where the Heaven and Earth Essence is different.

Xia Lihua was drowned in her thoughts but quickly shook her head. She, who has yet to even ascend to the Upper World should not worry about something that is beyond the scope of her power. And even though she has only associated with Ji Xian for a short while, she has come to learn that there is always a taller mountain, so it shouldnt be surprising that there is another Universe out there. The most she can do now is keep this information at heart.

If Ji Xian were to know her thoughts, he would certainly be amused as it was in line with what he was thinking as well.

Beside her, Xiao Yueyin had a cold expression hidden behind the veil on her face.

She had heard what Xia Lihua said.

Xiao Yueyins hands were balled tightly into a fist and her eyes glowed with strong killing intent.

Her aura scared away all the beasts in the vicinity and was still spreading.

How was he unknown for so long in the Mortal Haven? He has no connection with any sects and he doesnt seem to have any family. Did he get to this point just by relying on himself?

Shaking her head, she couldnt help but recall a conversation she had with him after they left the mysterious island and before they discovered Solitude City.

So how strong are the Celestial race compared to the Nether race?

Ji Xian glanced at Xia Lihua after hearing her question. He moved his hand to his chin and contemplated. After a moment, he smirked and said, I dont see much difference.

Seeing how casual he looked, Xia Lihua felt annoyed. The Sect Master of the Aether Sect, Huo Honghui once told her the Nether race was much weaker than the Celestial race but this guy is saying theyre all the same? Idiot. Who are you trying to fool?

Then why did you finally decide to appear and help?

I just thought Ill do something good before I left...

Thinking back, perhaps Ji Xian was already planning to leave the Mortal Haven World a decade ago. But just as he was about to leave, the Celestial race descended, thus he decided to help out once... But then why did he decide to stay afterward? He mentioned before that he stayed because there was more to learn. Somehow I don't believe him...

There was one thing that Xia Lihua has come to understand about Ji Xian, the things he says are never exact truths. Its either at least seventy percent truth and thirty percent lies or vice versa. Even with her, although he isnt as extreme, Ji Xian would still keep a lot of things to himself. Basically, everything that comes out of his mouth can only be taken with a grain of salt.

As she was lost in her thoughts, Xia Lihua suddenly shuddered after realizing that Ji Xian at some point had opened his eyes and was staring at her.

The two pairs of eyes met.

Although Xia Lihua couldnt see Ji Xians expression, she knew he was smirking at her.
