Why Do All These Monsters Have Health Bars?
Chapter 755 - 754: The Star Hideaway Immortal Palace, The Lord of Dou
Xiaoyao Zi was unconscious, his life force was fading away.
Just as he was about to die, a spatial rift appeared beside Li Jing.
Immediately after that.
A pair of long, white legs stepped out from it. The Charming Spirit appeared with Ling Ling.
Upon seeing the almost dead Xiaoyao Zi, Ling Ling clicked her tongue in disgust, disdainfully gave him a glance and pointed at him.
Ling Ling had already evolved into the Spirit of Life.
If we talk about combat power, she is still close to zero.
But when it comes to healing abilities, they have undergone a quantum leap.
With a mere point of a finger from afar, Xiaoyao Zi’s condition stabilized, and his life force gradually revived.
Seeing Xiaoyao Zi, who was once again at death’s door, stabilize, Ling Ling glanced at Li Jing who was in meditation and took a look at the boundless purple Qi in the sky before turning to look at the Charming Spirit.
"Mei Mei, it seems like our boss went too far this time."
The Charming Spirit pressed her lips together without saying a word.
After observing Li Jing for a while, she gently lifted her hand and drew a parchment with numerous mysterious symbols in the air.
Seeing this, Ling Ling’s eyes widened.
"An equal contract!? Mei Mei, you...."
"Li Jing made a lot of gains this time, you won’t be able to take them all on your own. I guess you wouldn’t mind if I were to join you?"
The Charming Spirit’s lips curled upward.
"Ah, this....."
Ling Ling was caught off guard.
She obviously wouldn’t have any objections.
Besides Li Jing.
The Charming Spirit was the closest to her and pampered her the most.
But the Charming Spirit was different from her.
The Charming Spirit was the unique Original Demon of the Universe Great World.
For the Universe Great World, she was an important existence.
Li Jing was about to attain the Immortal position.
Once he does, he will completely escape from the Five Elements and Samsara, break away from the universe and no longer have any connection with any world.
If the Charming Spirit made an equal contract with him at this critical moment, she would also escape.
Would the Universe Heavenly Path allow this to happen?
But Ling Ling thought to herself.
Considering Li Jing’s relationship with the Universe Heavenly Path, they might not mind.
Moreover, he is the Watcher of the Universe Great World.
As long as he himself is willing, he can continue to exist as a watcher even after transcending, just that there would be no more connection with the Universe Great World.
While thinking about this, the Charming Spirit stretched out her hand to grab Ling Ling by the back of her neck and placed her in the palm of Li Jing who was in meditation.
"Help me with something."
On hearing the command, Ling Ling blinked twice, nodded her head, hugged Li Jing’s finger, and bit it.
It was well known how good Ling Ling’s bite was.
Even the toughest spiritual materials would crackle and crumble before her, Divine Objects were no exception.
Very easily.
She bit through Li Jing’s skin, which was tough enough to withstand a Taoist item’s attack, opening up a small hole on his fingertip.
Seeing this, the Charming Spirit beckoned and led a drop of essence blood out, integrating it into the contract she had drawn.
With the essence of the blood, the contract, which originally had no physical form, ignited itself into a burst of blue smoke.
The contract was established.
The Charming Spirit revealed a satisfied smile, then reached out again to draw out a drop of Li Jing’s essence blood, turned her head and looked at the spatial rift that had not closed on his chest.
"Do you want it?"
Just as she finished speaking, Ye Qingyu poked his head out from the spatial rift, making a strange sound.
"If I could have it, of course I would want it. But Li Jing is in meditation right now, wouldn’t it be inappropriate if I do this without his agreement?"
"The rice is cooked, appropriate or not, it has to be done."
The Charming Spirit said indifferently.
"..."
Ye Qingyu.
Just as she was about to say something, the Charming Spirit looked up as if sensing something, then turned her head and spoke.
"You should think seriously about this. His Immortal Status is about to be established. As always, this kid is defying all natural laws. At a minimum, he would attain the status of an Immortal Monarch. You understand the great benefits this will bring, which I believe do not need me to repeat. The beginning of the Immortal status brings the biggest advantages. If you miss this chance, you may not have another."
Ye Qingyu was silent.
She lifted her eyes to observe the Golden Lotus above Li Jing’s head, which was currently blooming and absorbing Purple Qi. Silently, she lifted her hand and drew up a contract.
Then.
She extended her hand to draw the Essence Blood that the Charming Spirit had extracted.
Upon seeing this, the Charming Spirit once again looked at the crack in Li Jing’s chest.
"Xiaocai, would you like to join us?"
Before her words fell, Xiaocai hesitated and squeezed out of the crack.
"I...can I also have the same?"
"As long as you are willing, Li Jing certainly will not reject."
The Charming Spirit said with a light laugh.
"You have not completed the transformation, but there are signs of it. Perhaps, gaining benefits from this could lead to clear progress."
Listening to the Charming Spirit, Xiaocai subconsciously looked at Ling Ling.
Seeing this, Ling Ling blinked her big eyes and said.
"Come on then. Go all in or not at all. Let’s make it all four of us."
Upon hearing these words, Xiaocai’s face lit up with joy. Without saying a word, she hurled herself at Li Jing’s broken finger and sucked on it forcefully.
As a Spirit of Origin, she did not have the ability to draw up a contract in mid-air like the Charming Spirit and Ye Piaoran, but it was not a big issue. As long as she sucked up some more Essence Blood voluntarily, she could form a contract.
The contracts were completed one after another, orderly and neatly.
The crack in Li Jing’s chest quietly closed.
All four of them, two large and two small, waited patiently on the sidelines.
Very soon.
The Golden Lotus blooming above Li Jing’s head was completely dyed with Purple Qi, transforming into a Purple Lotus. The Golden Lotus mark on his brow gradually turned purple.
The Charming Spirit looked at Ling Ling.
"Every Immortal Monarch must have a Star Hideaway Immortal Palace. Ling Ling, your symbiotic contract connection with Li Jing is much stronger than ours. You will not be rejected by the Immortal Palace. The time is about right. Hurry and open the door."
Hearing these words, Ling Ling reacted with an "Oh" and flew to the Purple Lotus on Li Jing’s brow. She raised her hand and patted the Lotus and shouted.
"Long Jiuwu! Can you scoot over a bit!"
"..."
Long Jiuwu, who as the Seventh Origin had been securely positioned in the Purple Lotus.
As the Charming Spirit said.
Every Immortal Monarch must have a Star Hideaway Immortal Palace.
The entrance is the top Three Flowers.
If possible, he did not want to let others in.
Long Jiuwu, as the Seventh Origin, had the advantage of time, place, and harmony. The benefits of the Star Hideaway Immortal Palace should have been his alone. Linglong and the others couldn’t even enter if they wanted to.
He had all the time he needed to digest everything gradually.
But the situation at hand with these four...
He couldn’t afford to upset any one of them...
Having no choice, Long Jiuwu could only silently make room to the side.
Ling Ling then looked up and with a "bang", knocked a crack on Li Jing’s brow and dived in headfirst.
But immediately after.
She got stuck...
Seeing that Ling Ling had half her body stuck inside the crack with the lower half of her body swinging outside, the Charming Spirit laughed. She reached out to help her and pushed her into the crack.
Not long after Ling Ling entered, a curtain of light fell quietly from the brilliantly shining Ziwei Star in the high sky.
The Charming Spirit saw this and raised an eyebrow.
"Go, let’s all follow."
As she spoke, she took the lead and stepped into the curtain of light with Xiaocai, disappearing from sight.
Seeing this, Ye Qingyu hurriedly followed.
Meanwhile.
Linglong, Qingfeng, Nameless, Smoke Eye, and Snow Sound, the five Spirit Weapons, appeared beside Li Jing and followed Ye Qingyu in a line.
Tears streamed down Long Jiuwu’s face.
These original creatures were too cunning!
The gateway of the Star Hideaway Immortal Palace, under normal circumstances, could not be opened by even an immortal for others.
But right now, the palace was just establishing initial contact with Li Jing, and the connection had not yet truly stabilized.
Ling Ling’s action of "opening the door" not only brought in Charming Spirit and the others, Linglong and the five Spirit Weapons also benefitted in the process.
The advantage that should have been monopolized by it was now divided among ten people. Even after that, Charming Spirit and the others would not be restricted by the Star Hideaway Immortal Palace and could freely come and go.
With a silent sigh, Long Jiuwu revealed his Spirit Weapon form and entered the light curtain.
Despite his heartache.
At this moment, with Ling Ling voluntarily opening the entrance to Star Hideaway Immortal Palace, Long Jiuwu could not possibly miss this chance.
As Charming Spirit had mentioned before,
The blessings that come with the initial attainment of immortality are the greatest.
Once you miss this opportunity, you miss it forever...
...
A moment later, the purple lotus above Li Jing’s head completely closed and dissipated, and the purple Qi in the sky quietly dispersed.
Thereafter,
He opened his eyes with a strange expression on his face.
He was aware of the wonderful deeds initiated by the Charming Spirit.
However, at the moment of establishing the connection with the Immortal Ranking, he needed to clear his mind.
Now, the addition of two equal contracts and one master-servant contract in his body left him at a loss for words.
With a ridiculous look, he raised his head and looked at the North Star, which had become dimmer with his achievement of immortality but was still the brightest star in the sky, and Li Jing gathered his thoughts.
Now that he officially obtained his Immortal Rank,
he clearly understood his own Immortal Rank.
If residing in the exclusive Star Hideaway Immortal Palace of the Immortal ranks benefitted Charming Spirit and the others, then he might as well let them do it.
Perhaps letting Long Jiuwu monopolize could bring unlimited potential.
But who knows how long it would take for it to assimilate.
Li Jing did not really need Long Jiuwu, a divine treasure, in essence.
By comparison,
It was critical to have another origin.
Looking back,
The equal contracts with Charming Spirit and Ye Qingyu allowed him to borrow their powers when necessary. The two distinctive and original powers could not be compared to the "future" of Long Jiuwu.
After briefly examining his own state, Li Jing called up the status bar.
The Lord of Dou: Li Jing
Rule Control: Thunder Punishment, Space, Shadow, Heavenly Fire
Level: ∞
Immortal Origin: 714870
Lifebound Magic Instrument: Linglong, Smoke Eye, Qingfeng, Nameless, Snow Sound, Long Jiuwu
Equipment: Zhenshi inscription, Immortal Heavenly River
Seeing the above information, Li Jing slightly furrowed his brows.
Compared to before, the status bar has become extremely minimalist.
His level directly became ∞, and Skill Points and Essence Source no longer showed up; the skills he mastered were also not displayed.
The changes were so drastic, but Li Jing was not surprised.
The status bar, after all, was something he got as a side result of the universe’s Heavenly Path’s game plan.
Now that he "attain Dao and became Immortal", there was no doubt that he had surpassed the designed range of the Universe Heavenly Path. The fact that the status bar could still be used was already very impressive.
The current situation was.
The skill points he hadn’t had a chance to use were gone.
And his level became ∞, it seemed impossible to continue to get skill points through leveling up.
But these did not seem to be problems.
With the blessing of his Immortal Rank,
He had a feeling.
As long as he wanted to, he could easily use any skill without needing any Skill Points.
What Li Jing was concerned about was.
All the Chaos Qi in his body had transformed into Immortal Origin.
Summoning a strand of Immortal Origin into his palm, his expression gradually became strange.
This Immortal Origin, whether in terms of concentration or quality, was hundreds of times stronger than the immortal energy "unlimitedly supplied" by the Lord of Dou Immortal Rank given to him.
This.
It was honestly a bit absurd.
Normally,
Even if one had achieved Immortal Rank, the power in the body should be the corresponding power of its cultivation system.
The immortal energy was supplied by the Immortal Rank itself.
Li Jing was not sure if this was due to the residual heat of the status bar or if the Chaos Qi given by the Heavenly Path was too buggy.
Looking again at Xiaoyao Zi, who was breathing heavily and slowly recovering under the deliberate help of Ling Ling, his expression became increasingly strange.
In his vision.
A Health Bar appeared above Xiaoyao Zi’s head.
25499.
This is the peak of the Eighteenth Realm...
But that’s not the point.
The point was that behind Xiaoyao Zi’s Health Bar was the display of the Immortal Origin.
185482.
Does this...
Mean that if he kills Xiaoyao Zi, he can directly harvest Immortal Origin?!?
Li Jing’s heart was stirred.
But then he thought better of it.
There would be plenty of opportunities to verify this later; there’s really no need...
Speaking of which,
If one judged strength based on Immortal Origin, the gap between Xiaoyao Zi and himself was significant.
It seemed,
The display of Immortal Origin had nothing to do with individual strength, but was connected to the Immortal Rank.
While pondering this, Li Jing felt something and turned to look at his side.
At the same time,
The Universe Heavenly Path appeared beside him.
Coming face to face with Li Jing unexpectedly, she was taken aback for a moment before her expression returned to normal.
"You lad, you can always surprise me..."
Li Jing was left speechless.
Just as he was about to speak, the Universe Heavenly Path asked,
"Is the system I designed still working?"
"Yes."
Li Jing nodded in response.
"It looks like my design was successful."
The Universe Heavenly Path casually mentioned, not prying further, asking,
"You have already attained the Immortal rank, and a very rare Immortal Lord rank at that, what are your plans now?"
"I’ll just go with the flow."
Li Jing shrugged.
Upon hearing this, the Universe Heavenly Path was slightly surprised and said,
"The boundless universe no longer restricts you; don’t you want to do some meaningful things?"
"I know what’s best for myself, I’m not one to do great things."
Li Jing smiled and said,
"Besides, if I run off, wouldn’t you be in a difficult position?"
In response to these words, the Universe Heavenly Path smiled and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Jing grinned.
Big sister this move is a bit of that, ah!
She, who should have been asleep, suddenly appeared. It was clear that she had been awakened because he had stepped out of the Universe Great World by achieving Immortality, and immediately she rushed over to confirm.
And yet she felt too awkward to speak her mind openly.
Not letting the topic rest, Li Jing broke the silence.
"Next, I intend to go to the Eternal Divine Kingdom; there’s someone I need to bring back."
