At this moment, Li Rui's mind was buzzing, and he felt a particularly strange sensation.
In the Teleportation Array, he had thought countless times about that old man, and he was particularly uncertain about how Cai'er was doing.
With the appearance of a white light, the Teleportation Array began to disappear. In the blink of an eye, a new scene unfolded before him. Li Rui couldn't believe he was in the Multiverse; where exactly had that old lady sent him?
Beneath Li Rui's feet lay an endless grassland, and in the distance, a strange giant tree flickered into view. An old man sat under the tree with his hands clasped together, exuding a sense of holiness.
"You've come!"
Why did this voice sound so familiar? Li Rui furrowed his brows slightly, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and rushed forward, wanting to speak but...
"I know what you want to express. The girl inside your body is fine; there's no need to worry."
"How can I not worry? That Azure Dragon just now had such a fierce expression; how can I not be concerned about my wife..." At this moment, Li Rui was completely overwhelmed by anger; he would rather not have this Azure Dragon residing within him.
"Hahaha! This is Penglai Island, and I am the master here known as Ghost Valley Elder!" The old man leaned on his cane and slowly stood up, his Azure Dragon features vividly displayed. He then continued speaking.
Li Rui had no interest in his name at all; all he wanted to know was how to get Cai'er out of his body.
However, Ghost Valley Elder had yet to tell him how to do it and wore an indifferent expression that only made Li Rui more anxious.
"Relax, there's nothing major going on with you. However, if you want to get her out now, the price you will have to pay may be something you cannot bear in the future."
This...
Li Rui frowned slightly, thinking that although the old man's tone was calm, it couldn't hide the underlying implications in his words.
"What are you trying to express?"
Immediately, Ghost Valley Elder waved his hand, and a red crystal ball appeared in the center of his palm. Although Li Rui had seen many crystal balls before, this one seemed to be the most impressive he had ever encountered.
Li Rui cast his consciousness into it and was astonished to find Cai'er completely unconscious inside. What was more alarming was that her face was gradually turning black, as if tainted by some evil force.
"What is going on?" Seeing this, Li Rui was extremely anxious but did not know how to handle the situation.
"It's just a minor issue... nothing serious," Ghost Valley Elder said with a smile. He then took an Emerald Pill from his pocket and tossed it into the crystal ball. Cai'er became clear once again! Her spirit and appearance looked even better than before.
Seeing this, Li Rui finally felt relieved. However, he wanted to plead with Ghost Valley Elder to bring Cai'er out, but the latter shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was powerless to help, and that everything depended on Li Rui himself, even his Azure Dragon Fate.
"Didn't you have it before? And there is a price to pay; I can bear any cost," Li Rui insisted, his voice growing more urgent.
"A price is necessary, and you must wait for the time!" Ghost Valley Elder frowned slightly and said.
As soon as these words fell, Ghost Valley Elder disappeared. A flash of white light appeared before Li Rui's eyes, pulling him into a flickering void.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting next to someone he was very familiar with!
"Shibo, what just happened? It felt like I went to a fairyland!"
"Opportunities must not be leaked!" The old man smiled but did not elaborate further.
Li Rui never understood how Cai'er had been faring inside his body; a single image could not explain everything he had seen last time.
It seemed that Shibo did not tell him how to rescue her, while Ghost Valley Elder had assured him that she was not in danger. But how could Li Rui believe that?
"It's getting late; you need to go to the Multiverse now. You can't stay here any longer."
Li Rui frowned slightly and was about to ask for clarification when he was suddenly pulled into the Teleportation Array by a remnant soul.
In the blink of an eye, Li Rui arrived once again at Xiaosheng Tower, greeted by six Wu Hou Ren.
"Where is everyone?" Li Rui asked, feeling quite frustrated upon seeing no familiar faces in the Surroundings.
"Hero! They went to participate in Canghui."
Li Rui was completely baffled; what exactly was this Canghui? It sounded quite impressive. He soon learned from them that it was a martial arts competition that would determine the fate of Xiaosheng Tower.
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately became anxious and repeatedly asked for directions before dashing off.
Li Rui had never imagined that Canghui would be so far away. He had almost crossed half of the Multiverse, flying at full speed, and now this situation was truly...
After a while, Li Rui finally saw a glimmer of victory; wasn't the location of Canghui right ahead? The three large characters were exceptionally eye-catching.
"Who?" a green-robed guard grabbed Li Rui's hand and asked.
"I represent Xiaosheng Tower."
As Li Rui entered, he couldn't see Mo Ruxi and the others at all, and the Surroundings were eerily quiet, not even a bird chirping.
The next moment, it seemed someone called out Li Rui's name.
Turning around, it was none other than Abby.
"Why did it take you so long to get here? There's hardly anyone left to compete."
Li Rui frowned slightly; it seemed a bit too soon to start fighting! As the latter stepped into the Arena, a shadow caught his attention.
It was as if this shadow had been watching him intently, which was quite strange since the latter had no prior interaction with it.
"I've arranged for you to be the next one on stage."
Li Rui glanced at Abby beside him. Could it be that the latter lost? Was the opponent really that strong? He soon realized something very terrifying: this was a stage for young people, and the strongest had the power of a peak expert.
This...
"Here! Take this."
As soon as the latter received the Water Fire Staff, he felt a bit unsettled. Shibo from Shouyang Mountain had told him that he still understood, but right now it was just a bit...
"Next, please welcome Li Rui, the representative of Xiaosheng Tower, to the stage!"
Li Rui took a deep breath and stepped onto the Arena. His opponent was none other than the Five Layers of the True Person! Although the latter's current ability was at the Peak of Dharma Form, facing someone several realms above him was indeed a tremendous pressure.
With the Notary's flag dropping, the young man from Five Layers of the True Person immediately charged at Li Rui, attacking with nothing flashy—only absolute power! It seemed he wanted to crush the latter in one move.
