Three hours passed, and figures appeared one after another.
Without much deliberation, everyone presented spatial rings and storage rings to Li Xuan.
"Thank you." Li Xuan felt a sense of pressure, but seeing their trust, he accepted them firmly.
"Young Master Li, our hopes are all pinned on you," Yuan Chuxiong said with a smile.
In truth, Yuan Chuxiong and the others understood that if Li Xuan failed, they would have to face the King of the Alien Race. Once the King appeared, their current strength would be no match. Thus, they might as well take a gamble on Li Xuan.
More importantly, Li Xuan was Li Jun's son. This alone was enough for them to choose to believe. After all, Li Jun's reputation in the Central Domain was nearly as high as that of the Central Domain Lord.
"Xuan'er, this storage ring seals the Nether Cultivation Ancient Realm, which is filled with extremely dense spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It should be just right for you," Li Jun said, taking out a storage ring and handing it to Li Xuan.
"Nether Cultivation Ancient Realm?" Li Xuan looked at Li Jun with surprise.
Li Jun smiled. "You'll understand when you experience it. Alright, we need to go and guard the seal. From now on, you should take care of yourself."
Soon, Li Jun and the others vanished from their spots. This time, even Ancestor Qi Yun followed.
Within the Prison Suppression, Li Xuan directly reached the sixth level.
With the Evil Emperor sealed once more, Li Xuan no longer worried. Furthermore, the evil energy had been purified over time and transformed into dense spiritual energy.
With a thought, Li Xuan took out the storage ring his father, Li Jun, had given him.
The next moment, an incredibly pure and almost tangible spiritual energy erupted, instantly filling the entire sixth level.
Not only that, but this spiritual energy also seeped into the fifth and fourth levels, rapidly elevating the spiritual energy within the Prison Suppression by several notches.
"Holy crap, this is delicious!" the Cang Ling Tower exclaimed, immediately absorbing it frantically.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and then sat down.
Boom!
As Li Xuan's eyes gently closed, the almost tangible spiritual energy, as if guided, surged towards his body. From afar, it resembled a newly formed tornado.
With a massive influx of spiritual energy, Li Xuan's aura ascended to its peak in an instant.
This spiritual energy was clearly accumulated over tens of thousands of years, perhaps even longer. During this time, the spiritual energy had lost its original vibrancy, becoming extremely pure.
However, it still retained abundant spiritual power. It was like a deep spring that, after tens of thousands of years, had slowly lost its vitality. Yet, water remained water, merely condensing into a deeper form.
For an ordinary powerful cultivator to absorb such spiritual energy, the only outcome would be their internal spiritual power being completely assimilated, rendering them unable to control it, thus triggering a backlash.
After all, such spiritual energy, lacking much vitality, would easily lead to the absorber's demise if absorbed in such vast quantities.
However, what might be impossible for ordinary people was easy for Li Xuan. His meridians and physical body were both exceptionally strong. Coupled with his Chaos Body, he could effortlessly absorb and convert it into his dantian.
Of course, it wasn't to say that Li Xuan's body could fully withstand such potent and dense spiritual energy. Within him, rumbling sounds still echoed from time to time.
Clearly, the spiritual energy was too immense, and even his formidable physique struggled to convert it so rapidly.
Time slowly passed, and Li Xuan sat like an old monk, continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. His aura gradually grew stronger.
Around his body, a massive vortex of spiritual energy raged. The tempestuous power caused the surrounding spiritual energy to sway.
As Li Xuan's aura continued to grow, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually thinned.
Eventually, Li Xuan slowly lowered his arms, and a vast surge of spiritual power erupted from his body like a volcano.
The spiritual power rolled forth, tearing apart the surrounding spiritual storm, creating a vacuum zone around him.
Then, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the now minuscule amount of spiritual energy around him, he murmured, "I wonder how Father obtained the spiritual energy from this Nether Cultivation Ancient Realm."
Following that, with a thought, countless spirit swords materialized around Li Xuan. Besides divine swords, immortal swords and king swords were also present in abundance. Li Jun had even prepared forty-five saint swords for Li Xuan.
In the five-dimensional world, as Li Xuan entered seclusion, subtle changes began to occur.
First, disciples from various forces in the Central Domain rushed to the sealing formation to join. Then, powerful figures from the other four domains arrived and joined.
Spiritual masters from the entire five-dimensional world were providing continuous support. Regardless of their strength, at this moment, they were united as one.
In the blink of an eye, eight months had passed in the outside world.
Meanwhile, within the Prison Suppression, Li Xuan's aura had become terrifying. The area within eightzhang of him was like a vacuum.
And Li Xuan's aura was still climbing.
"Why aren't you taking action? If you were to act, the young master wouldn't have to go through this," the Heavenly Dao Brush said to the woman in red from not too far away.
The woman in red fell silent, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Someone told me that I can only preserve his life and death, but not act on his behalf. Even if all life in the world perishes, as long as he lives, it is acceptable."
The Heavenly Dao Brush instantly understood. This woman in red, who had cultivated from a sword spirit into an independent being, had clearly done so because of that particular individual. Otherwise, who else could have devised such a meticulous plan and scheme?
"If the young master continues at this pace, he will likely enter the next map soon. This speed, I'm unsure if it's good or bad," the Heavenly Dao Brush said somewhat helplessly.
"He is your young master, why do you worry about these things? Besides, doesn't the person behind him consider things more thoroughly than you or I?" the woman in red asked with a smile.
The Heavenly Dao Brush was momentarily stunned. It seemed it was indeed worrying too much.
Boom!
With a resounding boom, all the spirit swords in front of Li Xuan vanished. Furthermore, the spiritual energy in heaven and earth had thinned to the point of near extinction.
The next moment, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
"The Mortal Transcendence Realm, it has finally arrived," the woman in red remarked upon seeing this.
The Heavenly Dao Brush said with a hint of helplessness, "Young master, it's time to unlock a new map again."
