Chapter 719: Chapter 718: Various Matters of the God Kingdom, Xingyun’s Plan

As if she knew what Li Jing was thinking, the voice of the Star Cloud Heavenly Path spoke quietly.

"In the path of cultivation, the further you go, the more obscure your humanity becomes. Let alone those in the Eternal Divine Kingdom, who have long transcended the category of ordinary creatures. They no longer concern themselves with things that an emotional, intelligent creature would fear, all they care about is how to gain more power."

Hearing this explanation from the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, Li Jing finally understood.

Humanity. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Key indeed.

Take him for example.

If it wasn’t for him consciously maintaining that piece of land within his heart where his humanity resided, he would have lost all feelings fit for a human long ago.

In fact.

Starting from about the Thirteen Realms, his views on certain things became inevitably indifferent, and all kinds of emotions were difficult to stir.

Without further thought, Li Jing looked up and voiced his confirmation.

"So, their aim for the Great World is to acquire more power?"

"Strictly speaking, yes, but more so for the top-level resources that the expansive universe of the Great World might generate."

The Star Cloud Heavenly Path explained so.

"The Great World is unlike the Mini World, it contains an infinite universe that even top-tier cultivators cannot fully comprehend. At your level, you should understand that the Great World also grows, it’s just that this growth is too grand for the masses."

Li Jing nodded.

In this regard, he did have a certain level of understanding.

"Amidst the changing times and self-growth, there will always be precious resources produced that even the Eternal Divine Kingdom finds difficult to acquire or even entirely hopeless."

The Star Cloud Heavenly Path continued her explanation.

"Even without these, owning a Great World that’s evolved over countless years means owning a natural treasure trove."

Upon hearing the Star Cloud Heavenly Path speak, Jiang Yini, who had been listening on the side, spoke in surprises.

"It seems that for the Eternal Divine Kingdom, the Great World is nothing more than a natural Secret Realm filled with limitless resources. They are only unable to meddle easily because of the presence of the Will of Heaven."

"That’s more or less correct."

The Star Cloud Heavenly Path nodded, her gaze shifted towards Li Jing.

"Regarding the Eternal Divine Kingdom, I can’t provide more answers. It’s not a good place; I suggest you refrain from acting rashly."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded.

"Right now I’m just trying to get a general understanding."

As his voice had yet to fade, a playful smile appeared on the face of the Star Cloud Heavenly Path.

"That’s good, it’s not easy to have a reliable guardian like you. I don’t want you to go to the Eternal Divine Kingdom, at least not until my full recovery. I wouldn’t want you to not be able to return when the time comes."

While speaking, she sent a silent transmission.

"To be honest, I’m a bit envious of Sister Huan Yu. All the Great Worlds are wary of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, and preparations have always been plentiful and ongoing. You being here is essentially an accident, Sister Huan Yu was just in the right place at the right time. She hadn’t expected that you, as a human, could become so reliable."

Without waiting for Li Jing to reply, she once again transmitted.

"You’ve gained a lot from me this time, and now you have the power to contend against most of the Eternal Divine Kingdom. Now all you’re missing is a Saint Position. When you find time, find a way to get it. With one, I won’t stop you from going to the Eternal Divine Kingdom to ’hunt monsters’."

Receiving these consecutive transmissions, Li Jing couldn’t help but chuckle.

This trip to the Star Nebula Great World, he picked up more than just a few Essence Sources.

He was flying high, wasn’t he?

As far as he knew, the people from the Eternal Divine Kingdom weren’t that much stronger, he always thought so.

Based on his current understanding.

The "standard level" to go to the Eternal Divine Kingdom seems to be at the Father of Heaven level, which is the Seventeenth Realm.

He is at the Eighteenth Realm.

This definitely crosses the standard line.

Once in a place like the Eternal Divine Kingdom, there will certainly be many tough guys, but not all tough guys can make a name for themselves.

If you want to put it harshly.

The place is filled with Father of Heaven level beings, it’s hard to survive without real skills.

In such an environment, there are definitely some who soar high into the sky, but most end up as stepping stones for others.

Going to the Eternal Divine Kingdom to "hunt monsters," admittedly sounds quite attractive.

But a fairy position is not something that is readily available.

Not to mention everything else.

So far, he only knows of the existence of fairy positions and saint positions, and they’re not concepts that can be easily grasped like the Western God Position he has obtained through his current strength. These concepts are so elusive that he doesn’t even understand what they represent.

As for how to obtain a fairy position, he is totally in the dark.

Such a thing can only be left to fate.

It cannot be forced.

Letting out a sigh, Li Jing chose to end the topic, he said.

"We’ll leave idle talk here, I have a question about refining the Nine Great Divine Fields. The Nine Great Divine Fields are essentially part of the Star Nebula Great World, and they are connected to the faith on the land of the Star Nebula Great World. If I were to refine the Nine Great Divine Fields, would I ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Star Cloud Heavenly Path spoke up.

"Direct refining will surely have a big impact, the main problem is faith on the earth’s surface cannot cross the plane levels. Once you refine the Nine Great Divine Fields and leave the Star Nebula Great World, the faith of this world will gradually reach its end unless a new God Civilization emerges or is created, otherwise it will severely affect the normal operation of the order."

Upon hearing this response, Li Jing furrowed his brows.

Just about to speak, the Star Cloud Heavenly Path let out a gentle chuckle.

"But I’ve mentioned beforehand that we will choose a compromise solution. Just put a little more thought into refining the Nine Great Divine Fields, don’t sever the connection between the Nine Great Divine Fields and the Star Nebula Great World. With my assistance, it won’t be too difficult to establish a connection between the Star Nebula Great World and your independent world."

Upon hearing the Star Cloud Heavenly Path’s such words, Li Jing was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Can it really work that way?"

"Why not? Your independent world is connected to the Universe Great World, isn’t it?"

Star Cloud Heavenly Path tilted his head and asked back.

"Ah, about it..."

Li Jing was stuck.

His Little Universe was established by the Chaos Stone and could come and go freely.

Strictly speaking, this is not mutual connection.

But one could not say that there was no connection at all.

But this was not the focus.

The focus was what the Star Cloud Heavenly Path said about establishing a connection, which meant that his Little Universe would form a complete link with the Star Nebula Great World, a connection that obviously cannot be compared to the pathway established by the Chaos Stone.

Li Jing doesn’t know what it implies.

But he could generally guess.

It will have more advantages than disadvantages, at the same time, harmful effects are inevitable.

When he was hesitating whether to ask in detail, sudden voice transmission from the Star Cloud Heavenly Path arrived.

"You just relax, I won’t hurt you. Establishing a connection with the Star Nebula Great World brings you a lot more benefits than harm, those from the Eternal Divine Kingdom cannot do this, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so focused on resources. After all, establishing a connection with other Great Worlds is the necessary route for an independent world to evolve into a Great World and ultimately become a macro plane."

Upon receiving the sudden transmission, Li Jing was stunned.

An independent world evolving into a Great World!?

And then becoming a macro plane?

Is this...

True or false?

As if seeing through to what Li Jing was thinking, another voice transmission from the Star Cloud Heavenly Path came.

"Great Worlds and Mini Worlds are generally naturally born, but individuals have always had the potential to make their own way. But due to the necessity of establishing connections with other Great Worlds, few people in the vast worlds throughout history have managed to truly walk this path and see it to the end."

Upon receiving this transmission, Li Jing nodded silently.

The Star Cloud Heavenly Path didn’t say more, her figure quietly disappeared, leaving a voice saying.

"I need to make some preparations in advance. You take some time to prepare as well. When I’m ready, I’ll give you a signal and you can go to refine the Nine Great Divine Fields."

Seeing Star Cloud Heavenly Path leave like that, Jiang Yini’s beautiful eyes blinked twice, turned her head, and looked over.

"So, is it a bit too casual to decide things like this?"

"It is a little bit."

Li Jing did not deny it, saying.

"However, overall, it is beneficial for me. Earlier, some details from the Star Nebula were avoided during our exchange of messages, presumably because it wouldn’t benefit you knowing them. For now, let’s stick to her intention. The time flow of the Star Nebula Great World differs significantly from that of the Universe Great World, and we have already delayed a lot of time here. Let’s settle the matters here and then get back, and we can discuss the rest later."

Upon hearing that Li Jing had communicated directly with the will of Star Cloud Heavenly Path, Jiang Yini blinked and asked in a low voice.

"Aren’t you afraid she’ll trap you?"

"I really don’t fear that."

Li Jing chuckled, saying.

"After all, there is another Heavenly Taoist behind me."

Jiang Yini was speechless.

To be honest.

Even now, she still finds it somewhat incredulous.

Originally, she was just an ordinary Blue Star cultivator.

The existence of the Will of Heaven.

In theory, she might have no reason to contact it in her lifetime.

But today.

Not only did she witness a Heavenly Taoist of a grand world, but she also confirmed that the Heavenly Taoist of the Universe Great World that she herself was growing in was also backing Li Jing.

Upon seriously observing Li Jing, Jiang Yini had rather complex feelings.

She, who had witnessed almost all of Li Jing’s growth, knew very well.

Li Jing’s growth might be linked to the Heavenly Path of the Universe, but he is certainly not some favored son of heaven. The will of heaven cannot be unduly concerned about a human being.

Everything he possesses now has been fought for, step by step, with strength and luck.

Instead of trying to delve into the intricacies behind Li Jing’s growth thus far, Jiang Yini twisted her body like a little cat to find a comfortable position, and then curiously asked.

"If I may ask, what realm are you in, Li Jing?"

"Eighteenth."

Li Jing answered succinctly.

"..."

Jiang Yini.

For a moment, she thought she had misheard.

She knew Li Jing was strong.

She also knew his growth rate was outrageous.

But the Eighteenth Realm...

Is this not too exaggerated!?

No wonder he dared to confront the Star Cloud Heavenly Path head-on!

No wonder the former didn’t directly avoid her to look for Li Jing, and even showed some goodwill.

Probably even the strong ones in the Eternal Divine Kingdom couldn’t look down on him, right?

Staring at Li Jing dumbfoundedly, Jiang Yini chose to stop thinking, biting her red lips and speaking out.

"I heard... you’re quite skilled at Dual Cultivation. I’m only at the Thirteenth Realm now, when can you arrange it for me?"

"..."

Li Jing.

Jiang Yini’s abrupt remark caught him off guard, to be honest.

Her so-called "heard" is intriguing.

Speechless, he looked at Jiang Yini, who was playing the role of a clinging kitten in his arms, and coughed.

"Let’s wait until we finish this time and get back, otherwise it won’t be good if you cross the tribulation. Moreover, Sisi and the others are also only in the Thirteenth Realm now, so let’s do it together then."

?

Jiang Yini typed out a question mark.

She understands the logic.

It is indeed inconvenient to cross the tribulation in the Star Nebula Great World.

Here the Spiritual Qi has not yet recovered, it’s even uncertain whether the Thirteenth Realm level heavenly calamity can be triggered.

In addition, Earth is densely populated, choosing a place to cross the tribulation is also a problem.

So.

What does Li Jing’s "let’s do it together" mean!?

Filled with disbelief deep in her heart, Jiang Yini coughed heavily.

"Well, we’re all adults, and there are some things I can accept. But after all, I’m still inexperienced, and doing it together... this kind of thing is a bit too... for me right now..."

Halfway through her words, she found Li Jing looking at her with a strange expression.

Jiang Yini is not foolish.

She immediately realized that she might have misunderstood.

Without continuing her words, she lowered her head silently, her face blushing.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh, but he was also somewhat melancholic.

That kind of doing it together.

He has tried it before.

Very exciting.

If Jiang Yini were to join, it would surely be even more exciting!

However, there is a very serious problem that cannot be solved.

The gap between his realm and Jiang Yini’s is simply too significant...

He estimated that even if they did "it together", he wouldn’t have started properly and these four would have each gone to cross the tribulation.

And it’s the kind that should last at least a year each...

Thinking this, Li Jing suddenly felt not so well.

Recalling that the last time he was in touch with Liu Sisi and the others was decades ago, he felt an urge to self-isolate.

The key is that after the improvement of their realms, they would have to spend a lot of time closed off to stabilize their cultivation, and practice skills to ensure that they’re not empty in terms of the realm.

When he returns later.

From Liu Sisi and them crossing the tribulation to closing off, I’m afraid it’s another cycle...

Can this life be lived?

With tear-filled eyes, Li Jing chose not to ponder over these and asked.

"Where did that brat Li Xi go? Why haven’t I seen her?"

Jiang Yini was feeling embarrassed at the moment.

Upon hearing Li Jing asking about Li Xi, she took the opportunity to step down and replied dutifully.

"You’ve been away for three years, Xiaoxi graduated from university a long time ago. Now she has joined the Zero Agency. Beforehand, I handed over part of what you asked me to give her. Because of this, she is now the Chief Technology Advisor of the Zero Agency. Although her title is just nominal, it doesn’t prevent her from having the corresponding status. Hua Xia is pouring a large amount of cultivation resources onto her and has started to guard her closely."

"Protect?"

With a frown, Li Jing was about to speak, but Jiang Yini waved her hand.

"Don’t think too much about it, Hua Xia isn’t intending to restrict her nor dare they do so. It’s just that compared to being with me, she indeed can have a better cultivation environment at the Zero Agency. Her growth is rapid, and she is now a ’strong one’ in the Three Realm. But the things I have in hand really cannot meet her cultivation needs, she is currently still in the ’foundation-building’ stage, and using too many high-grade spiritual items would do more harm than good."

Listening to Jiang Yini’s explanation, Li Jing’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

In this regard, he did indeed fail to fully consider.

Not to mention Jiang Yini.

Even he, who has evolved the Little Universe into a vast cosmos, produced lots of basic resources, and has high-grade spiritual items readily available, cannot find many such objects that can be used in the Three Realm.

The key is that he made the environment of the Little Universe too good.

Together with his rapid improvement in realm, the Little Universe experienced transformations repeatedly.

The current Little Universe is full of cultivators from the Sixth and Seventh Realm, and the richness of all kinds of resources is comparable to those in secret realms with favorable conditions.
