C51

After a long time, a young man arrived here. He stared at the traces on the ground with a stunned expression as he thought to himself, What a fast speed! Don't wait for me.

Hu hu!

The man and woman leaped and jumped over a cliff.

The weird thing was, the Demonic Beast behind them were not following them. They lingered outside the cliff and roared repeatedly, but never moved forward. They seemed to be afraid, and in the end, left one by one.

Li Yi gasped for breath, and also heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Meng's face turned white, her expression became gloomy as she looked at Li Yi, then at herself.

Li Yi was stunned: What's wrong?

She said in a deep voice, "That's abnormal. Although these Demonic Beast are powerful, they are not intelligent enough to chase us from afar when they see us, and even more so, they won't leave just because of this cliff."

Hearing that, Li Yi was startled.

She continued, "Someone has done something to us."

An hour later, she detected a special mark at the corner of her clothes. The fluctuation was not very strong, but it emitted an undetectable fragrance.

"This is the scent of plants and vegetation, it's extremely difficult for anyone to detect it, but Demonic Beast s can easily smell it." Chen Meng's expression congealed, there was no doubt that they were being watched.

At first, she thought that the one being targeted was Li Yi, but now, it seems that the person in the dark was targeting her.

If carefully thinking back, in the past fifteen days, other than Li Yi, who had come into contact with the Lu Family, there was only one other person, the young man in silk clothes.

Li Yi turned around and started to look behind him.

The cliff wasn't a place of high or low. In this place, it was more like a ravine that separated waste from the earth. To be more precise, it was a shattered piece of land. However, its scope was very large.

Furthermore, Li Yi noticed that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be even more colorful than the one in front of him. It did not look like it was burned, but more like it was dyed red with blood.

Weng! *

At this moment, the huge black sword behind him vibrated again, emitting an indescribable aura.

At the same time, the black imprint on his left arm seemed to have sensed something.

Li Yi stood there in a daze as he stared ahead. He did not know why, but he felt a suffocating feeling in his heart.

Chen Meng sighed: "Let's rest here!"

Home!

Li Yi muttered, inexplicably sad and sad.

The sky gradually darkened, and a cold wind blew. In this silent world, it was especially frightening.

The two of them sat down and closed their eyes to rest.

After a long while, Li Yi opened his eyes: "What do you think 'home' looks like?"

Chen Meng was stunned, she subconsciously looked at him, at that pretty and delicate face, at that pair of eyes filled with sadness, suddenly, she realised that this youth was a lot more lonely.

Home.

The cheapest thing in the world.

But you have to admit, some people don't.

Chen Meng did not reply him. When the cold wind blew, she seemed to have sensed it and her body subconsciously curled up.

"I want to cultivate. I want to become an expert."

"I want to go home. I also want to find Qing Er."

He spoke softly, his blurry vision gradually becoming clearer, and the conviction in his heart became increasingly firm. After a long time, he finally calmed down and started to cultivate silently.

During the fifteen days of travel, he did not idle around, continuously condensing his pulse. At this point, his pulse had already reached its peak state; he was only one step away from entering the meridian gate.

This step might be incredibly difficult for ordinary people, but in Li Yi's opinion, it might be very simple.

However, he soon discovered that he was overthinking it.

No matter how hard he tried to break through the meridian gate, the black mark on his left arm remained calm and did not show any signs of recovery.

A few hours later, he opened his eyes gloomily.

Chen Meng was also startled, he looked at him and asked: "Are you trying to break through the meridian gate?"

Li Yi's face flushed red, as he woodenly nodded his head.

Chen Meng asked again: "Did you comprehend any Spiritual Qi?"

Li Yi rolled his eyes and replied: "No."

Hearing this, Chen Meng's face darkened, and was almost distorted by Li Yi's words.

From the key technique to the meridian, this was not an ordinary breakthrough, but a great transformation of one's essence to spirit energy.

Profound Qi was a type of energy other than the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Spiritual Qi, on the other hand, was a power that came from combining the five elements.

There was no comparison at all.

Normally speaking, there were only two ways to enter a meridian from a secret technique. The first method was to accumulate endless amounts of spiritual energy to open a meridian after reaching a certain thickness, and the second method was to comprehend spiritual energy.

And these two methods, obviously had nothing to do with Li Yi, he actually did not even blink as he tried to break through his meridians.

Chen Meng did not respond to him.

Li Yi suddenly realised, as if he understood something.

This time, he did not attempt to break through the meridian gates. Instead, he chose to perceive the spiritual essence, combining his essence, energy, and divine to sense the fluctuations of the spiritual essence in all directions.

Two hours later, he realized that he could now touch spiritual energy.

Four hours later, he had actually infused the spiritual energy into his body.

It was not until the third hour that a sound rang out from within his body. The first meridian gate was opened, and all kinds of spiritual energy surged into it, continuously forming his meridian gate.

Chen Meng was alarmed once again, her eyes opened wide as she stared at Li Yi.

After a long while, Li Yi woke up and revealed a smile: "I succeeded." With a wave of his hand, his meridian channels recovered and spiritual energy surged. He felt as if his entire body was filled with power.

This was an unprecedented feeling, a feeling that was very strong.

It had only been six hours.

Chen Meng did not say a word, the gloominess in her heart was suppressed, and she immediately closed her eyes.

Eh?

After opening the vein gate, Li Yi was surprised to find that a ball of light had appeared within his mind. It was a strand of consciousness, and immediately after, a light blue figure appeared.

Li Yi's body trembled, he was completely dumbstruck.

She opened her mouth and said, "Senior Brother."

"Qing Er …" He looked at her dumbly, excited, excited, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Wen Yuqing laughed, as if he was very happy, "I knew that Senior Brother would quickly open the meridian gate, because Senior Brother is the most powerful."

Li Yi took a deep breath, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are you?"

Wen Yuqing paused for a moment, his smile froze, and he said somewhat sorrowfully: "I went to a very distant place."

He stared at her. "How far?"

She squeezed out a smile and replied, "It's very, very far away. Senior Brother, don't be sad. Qing'er is only temporarily gone. She will be back soon. I said that I will protect Qing'er …"

"How far is it?" he stubbornly asked.

Her words came to a halt as the silhouette in the light trembled. Was it sadness or fear?

How far is it?

She was simply unable to answer. The distance between South Zhan Continent and it was a thousand and eight hundred kilometers, vast and boundless. Even if a Divine King wanted to travel, it would still take at least ten to eight years.

Li Yi was silent.

Wen Yuqing said softly, "If Senior Brother is coming, Qing'er will wait for you. If Senior Brother isn't coming, Qing'er will look for you."
