Cultivators from Central Province were in disarray; ancestors of various tribes were simultaneously reviving. They dared not relax for a moment before the truth was uncovered.
The golden monkey shadow that had appeared in the sky was by no means a trivial matter; its strike gave them a sense of certain death should they come into contact with it.
Previously, they had only heard of the reputation of the Aolai Country in the Eastern Sea. They had not expected it to be so formidable — Just one person had caused such panic throughout Central Province.
The cultivators only knew the tip of the iceberg. The most frustrated were the ancestors of various tribes. The figure in the void was nothing but a manifestation of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, which could be defended against with just a little of Central Province’s underlying strength.
But it was because of their subordinates’ lack of vision that they mistook the other party for the Second Leader of the Aolai Country come in person, leading to them being awakened prematurely.
Actually, if they could have a hearty battle after awakening, they would not have been so angry. What was most infuriating was that the monkey in the void didn’t plan to fight to the death at all. It just consumed their forces, performed a set of moves, and then left; that was the most hurtful part.
Now they felt as if they had unleashed their full fury on a pile of cotton, and they had no way to express their bitterness.
In a teahouse within the city, a lady in white smiled lightly and took a delicate sip of her tea.
“It seems the little junior brother is fine. Central Province is in turmoil; it’s best to leave for now.”
…
But all of this had nothing to do with Li Xiaobai anymore. After the usage of several Thousand-Mile Instantaneous Talismans, Li Xiaobai was already thousands of miles away from Central City.
The Shatter the Skies released by the Sea-Calming Divine Needle had indeed broadened his horizons, with the golden monkey illusion proving too ferocious. It completely dominated the entire Central Province, and even when the ancestors of various tribes made their move, it still didn’t fall short. Truly, it was worthy of being called a Divine Artifact.
Those ten million top-quality Spirit Stones were well spent!
The only slight disappointment was that the skill did not grant him any Attribute Points. Unlike Godzilla or the sports car, the monkey released from the Sea-Calming Divine Needle had a degree of self-awareness, which was evident from its unruly and unbinding posture.
When trapped in the small world, the monkey clearly did not want to release its skill. Instead, it aimed to break the binds and soar into the clouds before it started operating properly. Strictly speaking, it had its own spirit, out of his control, which is why it didn’t bring any Attribute Points.
Nevertheless, the might it produced gave Li Xiaobai confidence. This move was an unsolvable one; in the future, he could directly spend Spirit Stones to bring out the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Given that monkey, anyone who encountered it would die.
He flipped his wrist, took out the Lamborghini, got in, and drove off, disappearing in a cloud of dust.
Inside the cockpit, Li Xiaobai pondered the matters of the Sea Clan. He had previously heard from that big shot that the Sea-Calming Divine Needle in his hand was a treasure of the Aolai Country in the Eastern Sea and looked exactly the same.
He had never been to Aolai Country but heard that there were three Half-step Human Immortals there, only a step away from ascending. Could it be that those three were also monkeys?
What connection did his Divine Artifact have with them?
Li Xiaobai felt a headache coming on — it was troublesome to be uneducated. If he had read more books, maybe he could understand the connections here.
But no matter, he was bound to go to the Eastern Sea sooner or later. He had heard that one of his senior brothers went there. He would find time to visit him. He reached out and pulled Ji Wuqing from his embrace. This bird had already revived, but the might of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle had stunned it. For the time being, it was speechless.
“Kukuku, lad, was that monkey you released just now?”
Ji Wuqing blinked and asked.
“Indeed, ’twas I.”
Li Xiaobai nodded slowly.
“Where did that monkey come from? It’s almost as strong as this one!”
“Hehe, one flick of its finger could crush you to death, stop talking nonsense!”
“Kukuku, boy, you’re looking down on me!”
Ji Wuqing was furious. Having died once again, its Bloodline Power had awakened a bit more, and now it was confident in beating any youth of its generation.
But that was just wishful thinking on its part; against a real expert, it would still get thrashed.
“Where to next?”
“Let’s head to the frontier. Central Province is too hot for us now, with all the ancestral beings from various clans waking up and issuing a collective bounty on our heads. We need to lay low for a while.”
Li Xiaobai spoke slowly.
The situation had blown up this time. With all the ancestral beings from various clans waking up, and having seen what happened with the Sea Clan before, Li Xiaobai didn’t dare to act too recklessly. Not to mention, his own weaknesses were too obvious: strong defensive power, but unable to break free from control.
The Hellfire hadn’t fully grown yet, and if he got caught, they might suppress him just like they did with the Sea Clan leader, which would definitely hurt a lot.
“Giggle, where is the frontier? Didn’t that person at the Dao Conference say they would take us there?”
Ji Wuqing remembered Tian Ba from the previous Dao Conference.
He was one of the few cultivators willing to stand up for Li Xiaobai and even speak on his behalf, despite them being mere acquaintances, which was quite touching.
Li Xiaobai remembered him too, but he was too notorious now to travel with Tian Ba and his people to the frontier. With the high bounties Central Province big shots had put on his head, once his location got pinpointed, countless desperate thugs would come chasing after him.
Traveling with them would only bring trouble to others.
Knowing this, he should have been more cautious from the start and caused trouble under the name of Liu Jinshui in Central Province.
But with his current defensive power, even if he was recognized, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Not even the stomach of the Sea Clan leader could kill him instantly, so the cultivators from the frontier, no matter how strong, couldn’t be too outrageous. As long as they couldn’t kill him in an instant, he could recover quickly.
Looking at the Human Skin Mask in his hand, Li Xiaobai decided to put it away. After all, he was a hot property now and should act more arrogantly.
Moreover, the endless pursuit was essentially endless Attribute Points, a good fortune that would be hard to come by even if one searched with a lantern.
“Giggle, lad, get me one of those masks too!”
Ji Wuqing moved closer and said.
“What’s the use of a Human Skin Mask when you, a chick, don’t even have a face?”
Li Xiaobai glanced at it and spoke indifferently. A fluffy chicken face had no need for a Human Skin Mask to embellish it.
Furious at the comment, Ji Wuqing retorted, “Giggle, nonsense! You actually overlook this noble and handsome face of mine?”
Li Xiaobai: “…”
The Lamborghini tore through the roads, heading straight for the No-Man’s Land. The frontier was not just one place; Central Province, Western Desert, Northern Region, Southern Ming, Eastern Sea, all had such areas.
Though Li Xiaobai didn’t know the exact location of the frontier, heading towards the No-Man’s Land was definitely correct.
The Flesh Mountain existed in the No-Man’s Land, and finding it meant finding the frontier. Collaborating with the cultivators to divide the work and jointly fend off the Flesh Mountain was not in Li Xiaobai’s plans.
This trip was mainly for collecting Attribute Points, and joining the cultivators’ camp would only tie his hands and prevent him from acting freely.
The sports car’s power was turned up to the max, the surrounding scenery became a blur, whizzing by at high speed. The number of thatched cottages dwindled, and ancient trees began to appear in greater numbers.
After traveling some distance, Li Xiaobai stopped the car, and the System panel transmitted familiar beeps of numbers jumping.
