"Boss, what are you daydreaming about?" Chen Yaojin asked when Li Xiaonan remained silent for a long time.
Li Xiaonan's muscles twitched as he replied, "I just feel like something is off..."
"Yeah, it's hard to believe that such a powerful man like you could die at the hands of a woman. That just shouldn't happen..."
"No... that's not it! Little Jin, if you interrupt me again, I'll strangle you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaojin immediately covered his mouth and blinked at the dazed Li Xiaonan.
Time passed slowly, yet Li Xiaonan still did not practice, lost in a strange silence.
Strange, why haven't the Ghost Messengers come to collect me after I died? Aren't they supposed to be efficient?
And why have I turned into a zombie?
Before I died, Fei Ji had already healed my abdominal wounds. Although my insides were in disarray due to True Essence Power, at least they were still warm and intact...
No, no! That's not the point! How could I have died?
Right! The very fact that I died is problematic!
Of course, I'm not saying I have a protagonist's halo that prevents me from dying; it's just that I still have a clone!
Logically speaking, after I died, my soul should have immediately transferred to the clone and I would be reborn. So why am I dead now?
And besides, I can't even contact my clone?
Could it be? Could the Seven-Level Pagoda have the ability to isolate Mental Power?
He suddenly jumped up, as if resurrected from the dead, and grabbed Chen Yaojin, saying, "Little Jin, go to the bottom level and find your Sister Luna. Have her try to see if she can peek outside... um... just spy on my adoptive father and see if it works?"
"Huh?" Chen Yaojin's decisiveness always outweighed his ability to think.
In a flash, he had already flown down to the bottom level.
After a brief moment, Chen Yaojin flew back up, anxious. "Boss, Sister Luna said it won't work; her Mental Power can't be transmitted out!"
"Haha! What a gain!" Li Xiaonan exclaimed, jumping around like a zombie while laughing heartily.
Chen Yaojin mimicked Li Xiaonan's twitching mouth and muttered to himself: Is the boss going crazy? He's risking his life and still saying it's a gain!
Li Xiaonan panted, "No wonder the immortals at the Outer Academy couldn't find Ni Zhi; it must be thanks to the Seven-Level Pagoda."
He sat down with a stiff expression, grabbing a High-Quality Spirit Stone in each hand. With a flip of his palms, wisps of black mist swirled around him.
He suddenly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the spirit stones whole. Instantly, colorful lights flashed around his body.
Chen Yaojin gaped in disbelief, muttering to himself, "The boss is moving too fast. He said he would practice and just breezed through the first level? It can't be that outrageous... No wonder he ended up dead in a woman's belly! Otherwise, with such a strong protagonist aura, how are we side characters supposed to survive?"
He had no idea that at this moment, Li Xiaonan was suffering in silence.
Strictly speaking, Li Xiaonan wasn't a ghost; he didn't possess many of the meridians described in Swallowing Heaven Avenue!
And while he should have three souls and seven spirits like everyone else, he somehow had six souls and seven spirits. How was that supposed to work?
He could only rely on his intuition to cultivate further.
Hmm? There is a similar cultivation method in Swallowing Heaven Avenue, specifically targeting the Ghost Body, which is the soul. Not bad, this is a good thing!
Li Xiaonan grabbed a handful of spirit stones and stuffed them into his mouth, inwardly complaining: I never thought I would one day eat stones like Dog Egg. Poor stomach...
Beside him, Chen Yaojin bit his lip, constantly murmuring to himself: The boss is just the boss; even eating is so domineering.
"Ha!" Li Xiaonan shouted, a faint golden light flashing around him, and his stiff, cold body instantly regained vitality.
Chen Yaojin instinctively widened his eyes and muttered, "The boss is too fast... This must be the Demon Lord's Golden Body... I haven't even cultivated it yet..."
But Li Xiaonan didn't stop. He opened his mouth and absorbed all the remaining spirit stones from the ground into his body, using Ghost Energy to heal his injured form.
Strands of black Ghost Energy intertwined with silver True Essence Power as they came into contact.
Li Xiaonan thought to himself: This is bad!
When the black and silver energies touched, they trembled violently as if about to explode.
It's over! I've gone astray!
Just as Li Xiaonan felt his body was about to burst apart, a green light shot out from the Spirit Platform, intervening between the Ghost Energy and True Essence Power, harmonizing them and creating a unique hue.
Li Xiaonan tried to move and found he could actually use this strange True Essence. What is this?
He attempted to clench his fingers, and his body suddenly shot out of the Seven-Level Pagoda.
Seeing the East Emperor being pushed into a disadvantage by Lingyun, it was clear that Lingyun was not faring much better. His clothes were tattered, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, indicating he had sustained some internal injuries.
Around them, cultivators were engaged in battle against the demonic army, a dark mass that could easily crush them with sheer numbers.
Li Xiaonan waved his fingers, and the Seven-Level Pagoda flew into the most densely packed area of demons, absorbing them in large quantities. His gaze fell once again on the East Emperor.
He saw the East Emperor grab a demon with his left hand and shove it directly into his mouth, chewing it with relish.
Both Li Xiaonan and Lingyun were taken aback.
Lingyun shouted angrily, "Demon! How can you harm your own kin!"
"Haha! In critical moments, sacrifices must be made. You humans lack this awareness, which is why you are inferior to our demon race!"
"Arrogant!" Lingyun swung his arms, and the Dragon Binding Ruler spun through the air, leaving several phantoms as it flew toward the East Emperor.
The East Emperor sneered and hurled a nearby demon at the Dragon Binding Ruler to block its attack. At the same time, he flapped his Flesh Wings behind him and soared into the air, striking out with his claws.
Lingyun's expression turned cold as he leaped into the air, using a phantom movement to evade the fierce gusts of wind from the strikes. However, he was ultimately struck by one of the blasts and clutched his chest as he plummeted downward.
Li Xiaonan quickly flew up to catch Lingyun. With Swift Steps activated, he immediately retreated with Lingyun in tow.
"Brother Ling, how are you?"
"Cough cough... I'm fine... I... I lost..."
"Victory and defeat are common in battle. If it weren't for the East Emperor's trickery, you wouldn't have lost..."
The East Emperor hovered in the air, laughing heartily, "Victory is victory, kid, come at me!" He pointed directly at Li Xiaonan.
"Xiao Nan, don't go! You can't defeat him!" Lingyun warned.
Li Xiaonan lightly patted Lingyun's hand and replied, "Big Brother, do I have a choice?"
"But your treasure has already..." Lingyun frowned, having witnessed Li Xiaonan's treasure self-destruct.
"I can win with my bare hands; don't worry, Big Brother!" Li Xiaonan slowly ascended into the air.
He was indeed eager to test the Demon Lord's Golden Body and that strange True Essence.
Clenching his fist, he gradually gathered the gray-green True Essence in his palm, and with a twist of his body, Thousand Sails Rekill flew out.
"Hmm? What kind of power is this?" The East Emperor furrowed his brow, sensing something unusual. He dared not reach out to catch it and attempted to dodge instead.
However, Li Xiaonan would not let him escape easily. A Heavenly Union Strike shot forth.
As soon as he unleashed it, Li Xiaonan was utterly astonished. In the past, a single Heavenly Union Strike would drain all his True Essence Power. Yet now, with his meridians filled with that peculiar True Essence, he released the Heavenly Union Strike with such ease.
There was no sense of strain at all; in fact, he still had a third of his True Essence remaining. What kind of True Essence was this? How miraculous!
Seeing the situation turn against him, the East Emperor seized the opportunity while everyone was distracted. He split off a clone and turned to flee down a passage behind him.
A mushroom cloud erupted in the Underworld Demon Sea as the second battle of the Demon War reached its conclusion. Li Xiaonan gazed dreamily at everything before him.
The admiration and compliments from the Cultivators echoed in his ears as he calmly said, "I think I need to rest for a moment..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he dashed into the Seven-Level Pagoda.
Fei Ji was already awake, but her eyes were hollow, as if she had lost her soul.
"Boss! How are you? Are you back to normal?" Chen Yaojin hurried over to ask.
Li Xiaonan frowned and shook his head.
Chen Yaojin sighed and comforted him, "It's okay, Boss. As long as you're alive, that's what matters..."
Li Xiaonan glanced at him and said lightly, "It's not that I'm back to normal; I'm even better."
"Wow! So you're really something now!"
"Hehe, not bad. I guess I've turned misfortune into fortune!" He smiled as he approached Fei Ji.
Upon seeing someone come near her, she hugged her shoulders and trembled, murmuring, "Don't come closer... don't come closer..."
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow and said, "Fei'er, what's wrong? Look at me! It's Xiao Nan! Fei'er?"
She blankly lifted her eyelids and suddenly shook her head vigorously. "Xiao Nan is dead; I killed Xiao Nan... I'm a bad woman... you... you should punish me!"
Saying this, she lay down, her bare body fully exposed before Li Xiaonan. She hugged her legs and blushed as she said, "Punish me! It's all my fault!"
Chen Yaojin quickly covered his eyes and said urgently, "Um... Boss, I'll go find the others now..."
Li Xiaonan nodded in a daze. His warm hand gently caressed Fei Ji's skin as he softly said, "I'm not dead; I've come back. You did nothing wrong, Fei'er. Please look at me."
"Hit me! Use anything to hit me, quickly punish me!" Fei Ji pleaded almost frantically.
Li Xiaonan stared blankly as he held her in his arms, unsure of what to do.
Could it be that Fei Ji had been stimulated and turned into a masochist?
Li Xiaonan shook his head and took a piece of clothing from the Soul Ring, draping it over Fei Ji before lifting her up in his arms.
Fei Ji was very obedient, like a well-behaved child, curling up in Li Xiaonan's embrace, her long eyelashes casting shadows as she gazed at her hands.
Li Xiaonan's figure slowly appeared on the first level of the Seven-Level Pagoda.
The women looked at him anxiously and asked, "Xiao Nan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I plan to head back to Qingyu City immediately. I've already notified Nine Phoenix; he has taken Dog Leash and Xiao Bei back. We should leave too!" He said as he placed Fei Ji on a soft mat.
"What about here?" Yun Moyu frowned and asked.
"It's fine. We've nearly wiped out the second wave of monsters."
"Xiao Nan, don't act impulsively..." Ling Kui reminded him.
Li Xiaonan gently pried away the arms that were wrapped around his neck. "I know. I'm not acting impulsively. Qingyu City is our home, and I need to prepare. Just in case... I mean, just in case we can't hold this place, at least I want to protect our home."
