Struggling to prop himself up, after just a few steps, a white silk wrapped around his waist.
"What the hell is this?"
Li Rui tried to break free, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.
Damn it, what kind of place did Old Monster send me to?
Due to Ling Daozi's strike, Li Rui's veins had actually ruptured, leaving him utterly powerless.
Suddenly, his body was lifted off the ground and quickly flew toward the cave entrance.
What exactly is in this cave? It possesses such high magical power; it seems today, he cannot escape his fate.
No matter how much he resented it, he was powerless to change it.
The cave was pitch black; Li Rui could see nothing and only felt himself continuously falling.
The sounds of beasts grew clearer, and he seemed to sense the excitement hidden within the noise.
"Father, forgive me; I couldn't find you and Mother."
The pain from hitting the ground jolted Li Rui's mind awake significantly.
Opening his eyes, following the faint light, he saw an enormous spider.
"Human, hurry, don't be afraid, come here quickly. I can smell the fragrance of your blood; come on, hurry over."
The hoarse voice made Li Rui's heart sink to the bottom.
It was the same one that had spoken earlier, a talking spider, at least a Level 7 Spirit Beast. It seemed today he truly had no way out.
Green liquid dripped from the corners of the spider's mouth, its drooling appearance filled Li Rui with immense fear.
He bit down hard on his lower lip, his face turning pale.
"Human, cry for me, beg me. I love to see food struggle," the spider taunted.
Li Rui clenched his fists, his body trembling against his instincts.
The spider licked its lips, "Human, come on, cry! Beg for mercy!"
Li Rui pinched his palm, reminding himself, "Stay calm, I must stay calm. I can't beg for mercy or scream. Even if I die, I won't satisfy this disgusting spider's twisted desires."
Seeing that Li Rui remained silent and did not cry out, the spider grew increasingly agitated.
"Human, you better beg me, or perhaps I'll let you go."
Li Rui leaned against the wall; his bloodstained clothes were becoming increasingly revealing.
What should he do? Even if he didn't satisfy its twisted desires, it wouldn't let him go! He wanted to resist! But he knew he couldn't win.
What to do? Just as Li Rui was feeling anxious, the spider slowly began to crawl toward him.
Li Rui continued to back away against the wall, but in this narrow space, no matter how much he retreated, he could only turn in circles.
At that moment, a spider with white liquid at the corners of its mouth suddenly appeared in front of Li Rui.
"Alright, Human, have you had enough fun?"
In the black pupils, a mass of white substance gradually enlarged.
Li Rui instinctively crouched down and covered his head.
"Boom!"
The white liquid splashed against the wall, and suddenly Li Rui lost his balance and fell down.
"Ah!"
"Roar! Roar! What’s happening! Where's my food!"
The spider's frenzied screams echoed in Li Rui's ears, and he realized that he had been saved.
"Ha!"
Li Rui exhaled a breath of stale air and weakly glanced around.
Miraculously, it was very bright all around, as bright as outside, but no light could enter here, and there were no lamps.
"Why am I here?" Li Rui murmured; he had no idea why he had ended up in this place.
But there was nothing here, only a corpse. Yes, a corpse. Li Rui was sure it was definitely a corpse, devoid of any life. The dark gray robe accentuated the skeleton frame.
A terrifying thought suddenly popped into Li Rui's mind. Could it be that the Corpse in front of him... saved him?
With this in mind, Li Rui quickly got up from the ground and knelt before the Corpse, bowing three times. "Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. Thank you, Senior, thank you..."
"Boom."
Perhaps Li Rui bowed too forcefully; the Skeleton Frame in front of him instantly collapsed, and the dark gray Robe turned to ashes along with the disintegrating skeleton.
Li Rui, who had just raised his head, was stunned and bewildered. After a few seconds of daze, he hurriedly tore a piece from his clothing and began picking up the bones one by one.
As he collected them, he muttered, "I'm sorry, Senior. I didn't mean to. Please forgive me. If Li Rui can get out, I will ensure that Senior rests in peace."
Li Rui felt extremely ashamed. Just then, he noticed something dark among the pile of bones.
"What is this?"
Li Rui picked up the black object and discovered it was an ancient ring. He wiped it with his sleeve to see the blurred patterns more clearly when suddenly the ring burst forth with brilliant light, startling Li Rui into quickly throwing it onto the ground.
Li Rui tightly clutched the cloth wrapped around the Remains, driven by curiosity as he stared intently at the ring.
A few seconds later, amidst the light emitted by the ring, a figure began to materialize.
Dressed in a flowing white Robe, with a bushy white beard and hair, the figure gave Li Rui a powerful impression.
Li Rui was frozen in place from shock and after a few seconds hurriedly bowed again. "Senior, I did not mean to offend."
"Child, rise. It is your arrival that has awakened me; thus, my saving you is no longer significant. Consider it settled!"
The phantom spoke softly, and Li Rui was taken aback.
"Junior Li Rui pays respects to Senior. May I ask who Senior is?"
The phantom stroked his beard and replied, "I am Ling Daozi."
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. Li Rui... Li Rui has no way to repay you."
Li Rui lowered his head in shame. Facing the lingering spirit of his ancestor, he felt sorrowful because he considered himself useless.
His meridians were broken.
Li Rui stared blankly at Ling Daozi, muttering to himself.
"Child, do you wish to restore your meridians?"
Li Rui looked at Ling Daozi in disbelief. "I... my meridians are broken. Is it really possible to restore them?"
Ling Daozi stroked his beard again. "Of course. Perhaps the remnants of my existence as Ling Daozi have persisted until now; that is fate..."
Ling Daozi...
Then who is the one outside claiming to be Ling Daozi?
"Child, do you truly wish to restore your meridians?"
Ling Daozi looked at Li Rui and asked again.
"Think."
Li Rui nodded like pounding garlic. In this world where martial strength is revered, Li Rui clearly understood that the fate of a "waste" was the same as the next match.
"Are you afraid of pain? I can help you clear your Meridians, but it will be very painful, possibly worse than death. If you can't endure it, you might die. Do you still want to continue?"
Li Rui's every word was very serious, but he still firmly nodded.
He wanted to cultivate, he wanted to survive, he wanted revenge, he wanted to become stronger.
Ling Daozi paused for a moment, seemingly allowing Li Rui to digest this information.
Li Rui looked at the ring on the ground. Although he knew it was extraordinary, he seemed uninterested.
Li Rui raised his eyes and looked at Ling Daozi, nodding earnestly. "Senior, I understand."
