Chapter 1247: War Between Three Clans
“Fairy Lan is really smart. I’m here today to ask for something.” Liu Ming said calmly.
“Just tell me, if I can be of any help, I will definitely do so.” Lan Si sat down beside Liu Ming and said with a sweet smile.
Their relationship had been a lot closer after these years.
“I want to ask Miss Lan Si to help me in finding the way to break through to the Celestial State.” Liu Ming said bluntly.
When Lan Si heard this, she showed a wry smile.
“I also know that this matter is a bit extravagant. I don’t want some definite news. As long as there are some clues or even rumors. Then, I will figure the rest.” Before Lan Si could speak, Liu Ming had already continued.
“If it’s just collecting some intel, it’s not difficult. I’ll send a message to my clan people immediately, but the timing is bad now. Our Blue Wood Race has also been implicated in the war. It may take a while before I can reply to Mr. Liu.” Only then did Lan Si say in relief.
“War?” Liu Ming was taken aback. He said a little strangely.
“Mr. Liu doesn’t know? The Green Snake Race and Shadow Wolf Race teamed up to attack the Sky Fox Race.” Lan Si told Liu Ming a shocking news.
“There is such a thing!” Liu Ming was shocked.
“It’s been two days since the news reached Luo City. Mr. Liu must have been staying in seclusion, so you didn’t hear any news.” Lan Si said.
“What is the war situation now?” Yao Ji’s figure appeared in Liu Ming’s mind. He couldn’t help but feel a little concerned.
“According to the news from my clan, the Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses of the 2 sides have fought several times. Both sides suffered some damage. However, the Sky Fox Race is fighting against 2 clans. The situation is extremely unfavorable for them. Even their sacred place, Wan Bo Palace, has now been besieged by Green Snake Race and Shadow Wolf Race. However, I heard that some important figures have escaped from the besiege. 3 of the 8 clans have launched this war. Now not only the sphere of influence of the Sky Fox Race is full of wars, the entire Savage Wild Continent is in an extremely volatile situation. Even Luo City has been greatly affected…” Lan Si sighed and said with some concern.
When Liu Ming heard that Wan Bo Palace was besieged, he was no longer in the mood to listen. He asked directly without thinking,
“Does Miss Lan know which important figures of the Sky Fox Race have fallen?”
“I don’t know either. The situation in the Sky Fox Race’s sphere of influence is unstable now. There are few sources of information. Does Mr. Liu have an acquaintance in the Sky Fox Race?” Lan Si became a little puzzled. Seeing the worried look looming on Liu Ming’s face again, her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered the time when Liu Ming came to Luo City, he once asked her many things about Princess Yao Ji.
“Not really, I’m just asking casually. Since Sky Fox Race is the second only to Blood Vine Race in Savage Wild 8 Races, even though it is besieged by 2 races, it shouldn’t be defeated so easily right.” Liu Ming realized that he had lost his composure for a moment, so he regained his composure and said.
“I hope so.” Lan Si said slowly.
“I have nothing else to ask for now, so I will take my leave. Miss Lan, please help me in my request just now.” Liu Ming stood up.
Lan Si didn’t ask him to stay either. She personally sent Liu Ming out of the firm.
After leaving the Blue Wood Firm, Liu Ming walked around Luo City for a while. Sure enough, the beastkin cultivators everywhere were discussing the matter of the war. Most beastkin cultivators were apprehensive, although some beastkin gloated over the chaos.
Liu Ming inquired in several places where information was traded, but he still did not get any definite news about Yao Ji. Instead, the defeat of the Sky Fox Race was true.
He didn’t stay in Luo City for long at the moment, and he soon returned to the cave house in the Little Huan Courtyard in a heavy mood.
In the living room of the cave house, Liu Ming paced back and forth with a worried face.
After a while, he let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he stood still with a resolute look.
Since the Sky Fox Race family had encountered a catastrophe, as the princess, Yao Ji must also be deeply involved in the war. So, no matter what, he felt that he had to go to Yao Ji once.
It was just that his current strength was obviously not enough!
In the battle between the 3 clans, there were already several Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses. Even if a Real Pellet State cultivator like him joined, it was like jumping into a huge vortex. Not only he couldn’t do anything to the war situation, he would even be devoured by it.
The top priority was to advance to Celestial State as soon as possible!
He probably needed to take more time if he were to collect more supportive items. Now that he had luo suo fruit, crimson flame pill, and Cold Abyss Incense, plus the mental power far surpassing the cultivator of the same realm and the repeatedly purified spiritual power, he had about 40% to break through to the Celestial State.
After struggling mentally for a while, Liu Ming decided to try to break through forcibly.
However, breaking through the Celestial State was too much movement, so it was obviously inappropriate to stay in the Little Huan Courtyard’s cave house. He had to find another secluded place.
Liu Ming immediately started to prepare in the cave house.
Qian Rupin was shocked when he learned that Liu Ming was going to advance to the Celestial State, but she knew that it would be useless for her to follow. She might even be his burden. After specially crafting 2 sets of arrays for Liu Ming, she went back to her room to pray silently.
After Liu Ming made some preparations, he left the cave house and walked towards the east of the city. Soon, he left Luo City and came to the Endless Sea.
In face of the boundless sea, Liu Ming waved his hand, and he flew in a direction.
Regarding the retreat place, he already had an idea in his mind, which was the small island where he killed the cold incense whale before.
It was shrouded in dense mist all year round and was located in a remote place. Generally speaking, no one would come here at all. After some exploration before, he accidentally discovered that there was a pretty good hidden spiritual vein in the underground of that small island, otherwise the cold incense whale wouldn’t have nested there.
Fearing that someone would follow him, Liu Ming wandered around the sea for a few days before coming to the unnamed island after making a big circle.
The white mist still shrouded the entire island. Although he had been here once, it still took him a little effort to find the location of the island.
He searched around the island carefully, and he found no trace of other cultivators. It seemed that the previous battle did not attract the attention of other cultivators.
But in this way, he felt more at ease. After walking around the island a few times, he immediately selected a hidden mountain wall and began to excavate a temporary cave house.
He didn’t plan to live here for a long time, so he didn’t excavate it with precision. In half an hour, he dug out several stone rooms.
After finishing these, he set up arrays near the cave house.
These 2 sets of formations were refined by Qian Rupin herself. One was a defensive formation, and the other was an illusion formation.
After burying 2 sets of array flags and disks around the cave house, the mist around the island gathered over, completely covering the island in the depths of the white mist.
Qian Rupin’s illusion array had the effect of shielding from Divine Thought. Even if someone intruded, he would hardly find the small island.
After Liu Ming finished all this, he circled around the island. Only then he nodded in satisfaction and returned to the cave house. He waved. A black light came out from the Yin Conversion Gourd and turned into a girl in black tulle, Xie’er.
“Xie’er, I will retreat and start hitting the bottleneck. I will leave everything here to you. If there is any change, you can kill without asking for instructions!”
“Master, don’t worry!” Xie’er responded without thinking after hearing this.
Only then did Liu Ming nod his head and walked into the deepest secret room of the cave house. He launched a few symbols and set up a defensive enchantment.
In the white mist around the island, waves of water blue light appeared, covering most of the mountain wall where Liu Ming’s cave house was located.
This array was of water attribute, with the help of the endless water vapor in the Endless Sea, it was enough to withstand any Real Pellet State cultivator’s attack. With Xie’er guarding him, he was completely relieved.
At this moment, Liu Ming frowned suddenly. He took out a white jade disk, and a white light flew out from it into Liu Ming’s forehead.
A message appeared in his mind. It was from Lan Si, but unfortunately, it was not good news.
Lan Si mentioned 2 methods that could help break through the Celestial State, but they were all similar to rumors.
One was about the Thunder Crane Race in the extreme north of the Savage Wild Continent. According to rumors, there was a Huayuan Thunder Pond in the Crane Valley where this clan was located. It had the magical effect of refining spiritual power.
The other was a secret realm called Mirage, which would appear in the Savage Wild Continent every thousand years or so. It was rumored that there was a magical item called sweet wood in the secret realm. Not only it could revive the dead one, but it was also helpful in breaking through the bottleneck.
After reading this message, Liu Ming shook his head and smiled wryly for a while.
Not to mention the Huayuan Thunder Pond of the Thunder Crane Race, even if it existed, it was impossible to lend it to him, a foreigner, for no reason.
As for the Mirage, Lan Si’s message mentioned that the last time it appeared was more than 600 years ago. If he wanted to enter it, he would have to wait at least another 300 years. Moreover, the location where the Mirage appeared couldn’t be determined at all. Everything depended on chance.
At this time, Liu Ming’s heart completely calmed down. He no longer had any extravagant thoughts.
He replied Lan Si and put away the message disk array.
Half a month later, Liu Ming meditated until he was at his optimum state. Then, he took out the luo suo fruit, crimson flame pill, and Cold Abyss incense.
He first ignited the Cold Abyss Incense, and a faint fragrance immediately filled the secret room.
After smelling this fragrance, Liu Ming felt that the distracting thoughts in his mind gradually began to decrease. He was overjoyed, and he had a little more confidence in the effect of the Cold Abyss Incense.
With another wave, the crimson flame pill turned into a red light and flew into his mouth.
He slowly channeled spiritual power to refine the crimson flame pill in his stomach.
TL: Luo Hu will assist him in this right?
