Chapter 418: Chapter 233: Breaking into the Grotto Heaven!

Before long, Lu Li stepped into the grand hall.

He saw that Mo Qingyan was sitting upright on a cushion, clad in a white dress.

Upon seeing Lu Li appear, Mo Qingyan opened her eyes, her face bearing a smile,

“You’ve arrived. I’ve been quite curious about your Spiritual Treasure, it has actually reached the power of a mid-grade Spiritual Treasure, which is very rare.”

Lu Li gave a slight smile and didn’t explain much.

He slowly walked over and sat down in front of her.

“Does the senior know the hiding place of Qin Xuwen?”

He was straightforward and spoke directly of his purpose for this visit.

With his current strength, if he wanted to ascend another level, he would need a lot of time, and he obviously couldn’t wait that long.

He was set on dealing with Qin Xuwen.

Besides, now that his Divine Skills and Spiritual Treasure were beginning to take shape, and his strength had greatly increased, dealing with this man would not be a problem.

Mo Qingyan lightly flicked her hair, her eyebrows slightly raised.

“This person’s whereabouts are quite secretive; I shall investigate this matter. When I have news, I will notify you immediately.”

“However, you must not underestimate any Nascent Soul cultivator; you must not be careless.”

“The other party has also been searching for the Crystal Core, intending to transform it into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. If he succeeds, your chances of success won’t be high…”

In his view, Lu Li had just broken through to the Nascent Soul, and his strength probably wasn’t that strong. If he forcefully intruded into Grotto Heaven, the consequences would be unpredictable.

It would be better to devote himself to cultivation for a thousand years. With Lu Li’s talent, surpassing the other party was just a matter of time, and then it wouldn’t be difficult to obliterate him.

She had always agreed with the saying that a gentleman could take revenge, even after a thousand years.

“Thank you for the good intentions, senior, but I have made up my mind.”

Lu Li smiled faintly.

Qin Xuwen had repeatedly taken action against him, and the two had long since forged a deadly feud.

The other party was also continuously lurking in the shadows, like a venomous snake. Without killing him, he would not find peace.

Afterward, the two exchanged a few words, and then Lu Li turned and left.

……

In the following days, Lu Li stayed in the secret chamber, cultivating.

Besides occasionally partaking in Dual Cultivation with Liu Luoxin, or gracing Zhuang Guxue and many other concubines, his days passed in extreme comfort.

He also quietly waited for news from Mo Qingyan.

Just when Lu Li thought he would receive a message within ten years at most, the wait turned into more than eighty years.

It had been roughly a hundred years since Lu Li had made his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.

On this day, at dawn.

The morning sun was rising, and its golden light penetrated the layers of mist, scattering around the Emperor Palace.

Deep in the secret chamber.

Lu Li was meditating when he suddenly sensed the Communication Jade Token in his Storage Bag light up slightly.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, his expression brightened.

This Jade Talisman was from Mo Qingyan.

Since their last parting, the two had not met for many years.

Presumably, her reaching out to him now must mean she had news about Qin Xuwen.

Lu Li didn’t dare delay and quickly got to his feet and walked out of the secret chamber.

Exiting the Emperor Palace, amidst the awed gazes of countless maids on both sides, he crossed the entire Jade Avenue and arrived in front of a side palace.

He stepped inside.

He saw Mo Qingyan looking at him with a smiling face.

“I have tracked down the news regarding Qin Xuwen. Unless unforeseen, this man has initially merged with Grotto Heaven. Are you sure you want to take action?”

Mo Qingyan smiled softly, her tone gentle.

Lu Li nodded solemnly, “Since this man’s Grotto Heaven has only been established for a short time, it would likely be even harder to kill him if too much time passes. The junior brother has already made his decision.”

While he responded as such, in his heart, he had other thoughts.

His inner world had already become vast, and even if Qin Xuwen relied on the Cave Heaven Power, it would probably be hard to restrain him.

Of course, the exact situation would require several probes.

Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul, after a hundred years of dedicated cultivation, he discovered that the Power of the World from his inner world could actually emerge through his body and envelop him.

This might be able to counteract some of the rejection of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Of course, this pertained to his personal cultivation secrets, and it was not possible to drag Mo Qingyan into testing it.

His inner world was his greatest reliance in challenging those hiding within the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Hearing Lu Li’s response, Mo Qingyan’s face was filled with approval.

“Very good. Those who don’t retreat in the face of difficulty and maintain a brave and progressive spirit are the ones who will eventually reach the pinnacle of the immortal path.”

At this moment, she fully recognized Lu Li, the up-and-coming talent.

No wonder he could break through to the Nascent Soul in just a few hundred years; his temperament was indeed extraordinary.

If Lu Li chose to stop for now, it would probably be very difficult to kill a fully-formed Nascent Soul Great Power in the future.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party’s foundation was not stable was the best opportunity to act.

Mo Qingyan paused, then spoke again with a mysterious look, “You don’t need to rush, elder sister will find you an assistant.”

“Oh?”

Lu Li’s expression showed curiosity.

He did not refuse, for having an additional ally would increase his chances of success.

“Qin Xuwen is sneaky and cunning, and he has offended some others as well. This person has already begun to meld with Grotto Heaven, and it seems that some can’t wait any longer.”

Mo Qingyan’s eyes flickered.

“It just so happens that there’s a Spirit Cloud Alliance exchange meeting in half a year. You should first accompany me back to the Grotto Heaven, then meet with that ally.”

“Then I thank the senior first.”

Lu Li smiled slightly, feeling quite grateful in his heart.

The other party had always been kind to him, busily managing things before and behind the scenes.

At this moment, Mo Qingyan waved her hand grandly, sending out strands of spiritual light towards the void.

Soon, a large portal appeared in the void, deep and profound.

She took the lead and leaped forward, flying into the hole.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the grand hall.

Lu Li quickly rose and followed.

After a while, everything went dark, and he found himself in a different place.

This place was exactly Mo Qingyan’s Grotto Heaven; the two were now by the lakeside where they had been last time.

Mo Qingyan led Lu Li swiftly flying towards a palace ahead.
