Chapter 54

Moments prior.

Ji Xian was standing on a familiar, large floating platform. Around him was a scenic view of the sparkling ocean and a clear blue sky thats occasionally obstructed by tall trees.

A large number of sea beasts rested on the grass and sands of the isle to avoid the sunlight.

Even with the presence of the floating platform in front of them, their behavior indicated nothing was out of the ordinary. They were completely relaxed as they lazily lay with their belly faced up.

It is precisely because they couldnt see the platform to begin with that they acted this way.

Ji Xian didnt pay them any mind. He glanced towards the other end of the platform where an altar lay. At its corners are two poles that are lit with an unmoving green flame.

Hovering in the center of the altar was a narrow opening in space that was two meters long.

Ji Xian obsessively stared at it for a second. A mysterious light flashed in his eyes before he turned to the figure sitting crossed-legged in front of him.

Naturally, it was Xia Lihua.

The aura that was currently coming from her was terrifying. Unexpectedly, she had an epiphany on the cultivation method that Ji Xian had taught her.

After all this time, she finally named it the Astral World Principles.

Her Internal World was in the process of evolving!

It's able to recycle the resources of the world through a system of complex conversions to turn it into Astral Essence.

Xia Lihua is now able of creating Astral Essence through external means! Her Internal World is currently capable of producing eighteen times more Essence than other Body Cultivators!nove(l)bi(n.)com

Even Ji Xian was surprised at the speed of her comprehension. She was without a doubt, a rarely-seen once-in-a-lifetime genius! Perhaps, even the heavens were jealous of Xia Lihuas talent so she was born unable to sense True Essence. Fortunately, she was born in an era where Body Cultivation existed.

With this breakthrough, her aura skyrocketed!

Following the sound of breaking chains, a blue, lightning spark flashed around her in an unstable manner. Its appearance was brief but it brought immense change to the Mortal Desolate World.

The sea beasts laying around felt something. They roared and howled at the sky before diving into the ocean in fear.

Dark clouds formed above as loud rumbling reverberated in the distance.

When Xia Lihua opened her eyes, she was instantly attracted to the seven colored lights shining through the clouds.

Her body instinctively shook, after all, this was the Universal Will! Its appearance will make anyone shake in fear!

Then, she looked at Ji Xian. Seeing how calm he was, helped her relax somewhat.

He nodded at her and she nodded back.

Three days later.

Xia Lihua opened her eyes. The second she was done engraving, the golden halo above her head, which has significantly decreased in size, lost its glow and vanished. While breathing heavily, she observed the golden film that covered her body. Hundreds of thousands of complex runes were engraved on the film and theyre all connected to one another. Just the sight of it was headache-inducing.

She herself didnt know anything about runes. Her focus has always been on cultivation. All she did was copy everything that Ji Xian has taught her in the past month.

How did he even create something like this? She wondered to herself in awe.

Shaking her head, she clenched her fist. The space shook from her action,

So strong.

Standing up, she could feel Ji Xians presence behind her. When she turned around, Xia Lihua saw his unmoving figure standing in front of the Chaos Tunnel.

Ji Xian?

Ji Xian.

An uncomfortable feeling welled up in her heart.

Ji Xian!

Huh? What is it? He turned around and said with a smile.

With a flash, she appeared in front of him.

Xia Lihua brushed back his hair, she stared him in the eyes but didn't say anything. Her expression was enough for him to understand her thoughts.

What are you worried about? Ji Xian laughed. Im still here, arent I?

Come on, its time to leave.

Xia Lihua nodded.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

As they leave, Ji Xian quietly glanced back at the Chaos Tunnel. After a sigh, he and Xia Lihua disappeared.
