Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2110 1525: Injured
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
"Still, it is not quite that simple," Fu Chengguang stated, shaking his head and deciding against further discussion. He then inquired, "I wonder if you have any significant plans on the horizon, Fellow Daoist?"
"Merely traversing The Void, seeking opportunities and Spiritual Objects to advance my cultivation," Li Zhirui replied truthfully, offering no pretense.
Despite this being their initial encounter, a peculiar trust had formed between them.
Perhaps their actions upon meeting had played a role. Fu Chengguang, concerned about implicating Li Zhirui in trouble he had caused, had turned back to bring him along even as he was flying away.
Furthermore, Li Zhirui had intervened when a Fierce Beast pursued them, enabling their swift escape from peril.
It was this shared experience of facing danger together that likely fostered an unspoken belief in each other's trustworthiness.
"How about accompanying me next, Fellow Daoist?!"
Fu Chengguang eagerly proposed, "I recently stumbled upon a Great Thousand World by chance, but I hesitated to explore it alone, fearing potential danger without assistance."
"Now that I have encountered you, it feels like destiny. We should join forces to explore this world together."
Although Great Thousand Worlds are graded, with some limited to the Heavenly Immortal level and others extending to the Golden Immortal, the divergences are immense. Thus, despite his initial excitement, he did not dare to act rashly.
His original intent was to return to his family and bring relatives and elders along for the exploration. However, the journey was long and could be fraught with unexpected events.
After all, these worlds are not static but are constantly in motion.
Even though Fu Chengguang had left behind a clone to track the Great Thousand World, its discovery and destruction by inhabitants would mean he would lose any chance of finding it again.
"This..."
Li Zhirui expressed surprise at Fu Chengguang's invitation to explore a Great Thousand World, causing him to hesitate.
Indeed, even the lowest Grade world, restricted to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, possesses immense value!
Its unique civilization and various exclusive Spiritual Objects present significant opportunities, irrespective of its Grade.
More importantly, understanding its civilization and Dao of Cultivation could tremendously benefit one's personal cultivation!
And if they were sufficiently ruthless and powerful, they might even devise a way to seize the world's origin!
This is a treasure that can directly augment one's Realm and Cultivation!
However, given their nature, they would not resort to ending lives for personal gain; at most, they would comprehend the Sea of Laws to enhance their mastery over relevant Daos.
In essence, regardless of the Great Thousand World's Grade, careful consideration promises substantial rewards!
"Do you doubt my words, Fellow Daoist?" Fu Chengguang inquired, perceiving Li Zhirui's pause in response.
He was not merely guessing; finding worlds within The Void is rare, let alone a Great Thousand World.
Announcing the discovery of a Great Thousand World could easily be perceived as a fabrication.
"No, I believe in Fellow Daoist's character."
Li Zhirui quickly refocused, stating candidly, "I was merely contemplating that we have only just met, yet Fellow Daoist extends such a generous offer, leaving me both surprised and unsure of how to respond."
Did he want to go? Naturally, he did!
However, their connection was not yet deeply established, and his heart couldn't help but harbor a degree of doubt and apprehension regarding such a grand opportunity suddenly presented.
Fu Chengguang understood Li Zhirui's unspoken sentiment and replied, "Do not overthink it, Fellow Daoist. You are aware that the world is ever-shifting; while I have made arrangements, their permanence cannot be guaranteed."
"The longer the delay, the greater the possibility of alteration. Since we have had the fortune to meet, and I trust your integrity, I invite you to explore together without any obligation."
"Given this, how could I possibly refuse, Fellow Daoist?" With the conversation having reached this stage, Li Zhirui could not decline without appearing discourteous.
"Hahahaha..."
Fu Chengguang rejoiced immensely upon hearing this, letting out a hearty laugh, "With your companionship, the journey is bound to be prosperous!"
"But before we depart, Fellow Daoist should swiftly tend to your injuries to prevent any lingering complications."
"Then I shall depend on you to act as my protector."
With that said, he produced Pills from his Storage Magical Treasure, assumed a cross-legged position, and commenced refining the Pill on the spot.
No Formation or Restriction was activated; he simply sat there "unprotected" before Li Zhirui.
Should Li Zhirui decide to make a move, Fu Chengguang would possess no means of resistance.
His approach was entirely unguarded, not a test executed through such means.
'My goodness, he's putting his complete faith in me.' Li Zhirui mused internally, then redirected his attention.
This entire display was, in truth, a trial orchestrated by Fu Chengguang. While appearing vulnerable, he had secretly armed himself with a potent Golden Immortal Rank Immortal Artifact. This artifact was designed to unleash a powerful retaliatory strike, amplifying any assault directed at him tenfold!
Successfully navigating this challenge was the sole criterion for Li Zhirui to be officially accepted as a partner in their quest for the Great Thousand World.
