Chapter 1800: Chapter 1827: "Wealthy Li Xiaobai" vs. Three Inch Golden Lotus
This star is unlike any I’ve seen before; the surface is ash-gray, riddled with pits and devoid of vegetation, with dust swirling up wherever you step.
Ahead, the stone houses of various sizes are chaotically arranged.
The passersby wear strange, exotic clothes, with their heads wrapped in large circles of luxurious fabric, though their clothing is tattered.
Seeing Li Xiaobai and his group charging over, they scatter like birds and beasts, hiding inside the houses to observe in secret.
"Are these the indigenous people?"
Ma Niubi’s eyes were filled with wonder, seeing the inhabitants of another star for the first time, entirely different from the cultivators he had imagined.
"These are called natives. Speaking of which, how do I use Mr. Yu’s Visualized Item? I’ve flipped through this book for half a day and haven’t seen a single word. It’s as expected; only the original body can use it?"
Li Xiaobai held Yu Huan Shui’s massive book, chewing on a supplement, mumbling indistinctly.
"This is a small town. I can’t sense the local people’s cultivation level; maybe it’s because their cultivation system is different and can’t be detected."
Liaowang calmly observed the surroundings and said softly.
"We’re attracting too much attention out here. These local people have been secretly watching us; we need to find a place away from prying eyes."
"There’s a bookstore ahead; let’s go there to deal with the Three Inch Golden Lotus."
The three of them entered the bookstore. Inside, there was only a little girl who looked at the two bald men raising another bald man and seemed at a loss.
"Don’t panic, little girl. I’ll leave after a short stay."
Li Xiaobai glanced at the little girl — a simple girl, not threatening.
He found an empty spot to sit. Suddenly, Yu Huan Shui’s massive book flew up, floated to the nearest bookshelf, and merged into a book titled ’Livestock Optimization and Breeding Issues’.
"Rustle!"
The pages turned on their own, and the text twisted and deconstructed, forming an image imprinted in Li Xiaobai’s mind.
"I’ve got it!"
"Mr. Yu’s book worked; the images in my brain have reappeared!"
The three leaned over, intensely focused on the content of the book pages.
The sight made Li Xiaobai’s scalp tingle. In his mind, he could no longer see the Divine Soul; dense tendrils, like vines, occupied his entire brain, constantly consuming his nutrients. Judging by the rapid growth of the tendrils in the comic-like images, within half an hour, he’d be sucked dry.
"Is this the starry sky? Is this the Boundary Sea? Just stepping out of the Immortal Gods Realm already leads to a life-and-death crisis. No wonder they say the true strong ones are fighting in the starry sky."
"By the way, this so-called supervisor is only at the Immortal Gods Realm, similar in cultivation level to the Elders of the Pure Land, but the difficulty of his methods is indeed on a different level. Is it because no one in our territory understands the correct use of Visualized Items?"
"Amitabha, I believe it is the Buddha’s intention not to spread this technique to better control the masses."
Ma Niubi and Liaowang chatted back and forth, amazed by the images in the book.
"Why are you two still chatting? Use this leisure time to figure out how to get this stinking foot out of here."
Li Xiaobai was anxious, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, the values on the system panel were jumping crazily, but this time even the System was at a loss with the Three Inch Golden Lotus. Although the foot was draining the power of the Divine Soul, ultimately, it wasn’t a spiritual attack, leaning more towards physical assault, and couldn’t be erased. His continuously increasing Attribute Points couldn’t break through or enhance defense due to the limitation of the Four Parts Obversation Realm.
Every level of the Four Parts Obversation requires additional mental attainment; one must complete a phase of mental experience to break through the cultivation level.
Right now, he could only rely on Yu Huan Shui’s book and his own Visualized Item.
"These tendrils are still spreading, not content with occupying the brain, some seem to be entering the limbs through the blood vessels. Master Li, make a quick decision, otherwise, once the tendrils spread throughout the body, even Immortal Gods can’t save you!"
Liaowang stared at the images in the book, pointing at several tendrils in the corner.
"Master, the disciple believes it’s better to start the craniotomy from this place. Just now, this is where Mr. Yu inserted both hands."
Ma Niubi pointed at a spot in the images and shouted.
"Heh heh heh, with you? Yu Huan Shui has been redirected by me. You’re beyond saving; in a tea’s time, you’ll be weak all over, and in one incense stick’s time, you’ll fall into a coma from excessive blood and energy loss. In half an hour, there will be no more Li Xiaobai in this world!"
"Serves you right, you brought this upon yourself. Who told you to be reckless and lawless in the Netherworld? The mission of the organization is to eliminate all who disrupt order!"
Inside Li Xiaobai’s brain, the tendrils laughed heartily, each was a vivid life, the laughter making his head throb. This was also a tactic of the Three Inch Golden Lotus, continually speaking to side-interfere, so he couldn’t calmly deal with it.
"Mr. Yu cut off your Visualized Item, you should also be injured, deliberately making noise to interfere with me now indicates you fear me too!"
"That is to say, right now is your Three Inch Golden Lotus’ weak period!"
Li Xiaobai said coldly.
"You’re pretty smart; I’m starting to appreciate you, but unfortunately, you guessed wrong. Yu Huan Shui’s cultivation is sealed; he can only pull out some inferior Magic Treasures from the book. Severing a big toe for me is insignificant. If he pulled out a weapon stained with Emperor’s Blood, I’d indeed have to flee, truly a pity, even the Heavenly Dao is on my side, your path to survival is cut off!"
The Three Inch Golden Lotus sneered sarcastically, very willing to converse with Li Xiaobai to stall time, the longer it drags on, the more advantageous for it.
"Oh really? It seems you haven’t realized, from your words I’ve understood the weak point of your Visualized Item isn’t in the portion Mr. Yu holds but in my mind!"
"You placed the core of the Visualized Item within these tendrils, which is why you’re unfazed by the severed big toe and the two feet being taken by Mr. Yu!"
Li Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed with a strange light; in this life-and-death situation, he wouldn’t waste time on meaningless chatter. Even though it was just a few words, he had gathered the information he wanted.
The Visualized Item’s injuries reflect on the original body, as the supervisor himself said. Whether it was a toe being cut or Yu Huan Shui fleeing with two feet, he wasn’t worried at all. If there’s a trick, the core part of the Visualized Item must be hidden in his brain; thus, he is so fearless.
"What... what are you saying? You guessed wrong, completely wrong!"
"Stop struggling, give up resistance, and have a good sleep. I’ll ensure you go without pain!"
In his head, countless tendrils immediately went berserk, clamoring non-stop, attempting to disturb Li Xiaobai’s mind.
"How unfortunate, in the next second, I’ll pull this stinking foot out and crush it along with your body’s pride!"
Li Xiaobai roared, "Wealthy Li Xiaobai" appeared beside him, and without hesitation, he inserted both hands into his own skull.
At the same time, the ability of the Commentary title was activated, delivering a detailed explanation, time paused!
