Chapter 75

Walking alone, Luo Li moved forward, the north wind howling, the cold endless, the world a vast expanse of ice and snow!

Amidst this ice and snow, there were no traces of passersby or wild beasts; it was too cold, and spitting out a mouthful of saliva would instantly turn it to ice. But Luo Li, he stepped forward, having cultivated the Black Dragon Body, this cold meant nothing to him, as if it were the warm spring of March, feeling nothing at all.

Impervious to cold and heat, immune to water and fire, his qi permeated his entire body, the power of the dragon and the elephant—this was Luo Li's current ability.

With each casual step, it seemed light and effortless, but each step covered ten feet, and then another, and another, looking slow but moving as fast as lightning, covering ten or a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Li chose to travel to the Heavenly Pearl Sect on the eve of the Minor New Year, relying solely on his own strength to walk through the snow.

With each step, the snow, a foot deep, scattered instantly, as if a ten-thousand-pound object had fallen, the snow immediately blown away, leaving a foot of ground beneath Luo Li's feet completely free of snow, with no sense of difficulty in walking through the snow.

Even the ice shattered instantly, and after Luo Li left, the footprints he left began to slowly melt, this was the power of the Black Dragon Body's dragon flame.

Thus, Luo Li walked a hundred miles in one breath. After a hundred miles, Luo Li gradually had a strange feeling. In the hundred miles he had walked, his movement felt like an instinct, and this way of walking seemed more of a burden, not his best way of moving.

This thought arose, and Luo Li frowned. He began to relax his body, letting his body operate on instinct.

Gradually, Luo Li found that his steps became lighter, no longer scattering the snow or shattering the ice, and the footprints no longer revealed the fire.

Later, each step was light and silent, with no sound at all, the snow only sinking half a foot, and his whole body seemed to float lightly, as if riding the breeze, standing proudly on the snow!

The more he walked, the easier it became. Eventually, the snow did not move at all under his feet, leaving no trace, and the distance of each step became longer and longer.

Originally, each step of the Black Dragon Body was ten feet, but now, with each light step, it was ten feet and one foot, ten feet and two feet, ten feet and three feet, ten feet and five feet, twenty feet!

Twice as much as before!

What was going on? Suddenly, Luo Li saw his own back, the sleeves fluttering like a spiritual butterfly, and he knew!

Although Master Xi Yi's soul transfer failed, his wishes were all fulfilled. His soul brought the Three Realms Crystal Butterfly, which merged with Luo Li's Black Dragon Body, this was the true Butterfly Dragon Transformation!

The thirty-three methods of refining the spiritual butterfly, the seventeen heart sutras for nurturing the life-bound spiritual butterfly, he did not need to cultivate them. Thus, he completed the secret techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, merging the spiritual butterfly, giving birth to the life-bound spiritual butterfly, achieving the unity of man and butterfly!

However, there was a difference. He did not have a life-bound spiritual butterfly, but by a twist of fate, he achieved the unity of man and butterfly! To be precise, the unity of man, dragon, and butterfly!

Luo Li took a deep breath and continued forward, the more he walked, the easier it became, the faster and more graceful he moved!

It felt great, really great!

Luo Li took a deep breath and began to cultivate the ten great body techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, as he had seen in the scripture hall on Konyuan Peak!

With a light turn, Luo Li floated up, like a spinning top, flying in the air, formless and intangible, making it impossible for any enemy to lock onto his movements.

Another spin, the speed increased, as if a whirlwind was created around him, making it impossible for enemies to see his figure, charging forward!

With a powerful leap, he instantly rose ten feet high, towering above! Then a dash, like a fierce horse, covering ten feet in the blink of an eye, and then a landing, his feet rooted to the ground, defying the laws of nature, standing still!

Luo Li smiled, lightly gliding on the snow for ten feet! Then a swing, formless and intangible, moving freely in all directions! Taking a light step into the void, he floated three feet in the air, walking in the air!

Suddenly, without warning, he retreated ten feet, then flashed another ten feet!

Luo Li tested each of the ten great body techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, turning, spinning, leaping, dashing, landing, floating, retreating, and flashing!

Each one was embodied in him, effortlessly, as if he had cultivated for hundreds of years, completely ingrained in his bones.

Luo Li frowned, he was not a cultivation genius. According to the records in the scripture hall, it would take at least a hundred years to fully master the ten great body techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect. What was going on?

After much thought, there was only one possibility. It seemed that this was a benefit left by Master Xi Yi! Although his soul transfer failed, his cultivation experience remained, and the experience of mastering the ten great body techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect became Luo Li's instinct, so he learned them instantly.

"Unfortunately, I still don't know how to fly using a magical tool. If I could, I could soar through the sky, the speed would be even faster, and the movements more graceful!

Right, the spirit wood sword I bought last time is still in my storage bag. After returning, I had many things to do, and I haven't bought the Chen Lei talisman water yet. If I could, I could try flying and see what it feels like!"

Having mastered the ten great body techniques of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, Luo Li's speed immediately increased. With each casual step, he covered twenty feet, and if he used the body techniques, he could leap ten feet in an instant, light and silent, formless and intangible, in harmony with the Dao.

The more he walked, the happier he became. Mountains, rivers, and villages passed under his feet, and this feeling of walking was incredibly refreshing.

In the blink of an eye, he had walked three hundred miles. Luo Li nodded, thinking to himself:

"That's not right, that's not right! According to the records in the scripture hall, even if I had refined the spiritual butterfly and achieved the unity of man and butterfly, I shouldn't be able to cover three feet in a single step, or a hundred miles in an instant!

My speed is already comparable to that of a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect. This must be the benefit of the Butterfly Dragon Transformation!

Walking with the body of a butterfly, exerting the power of a dragon! This Black Dragon Body is no less than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, incredibly strong, so using it as the source of power, I can reach such a realm.

If I could fly using a magical tool, what level would I reach? Unimaginable!"

The more he walked, the happier he became. In the blink of an eye, he saw a large river ahead!

Actually, it was not a river but the sea, the coastline between two of the Five Islands of the Heavenly Spider Sect. It was filled in by the predecessors, leaving only this thirty-mile stretch of sea as the dividing point between the two islands.

This sea was thirty miles wide. Normally, ordinary people would cross by ferry, but on this cold Minor New Year's Eve, the boatmen were all resting, and Luo Li could not fly, so he could not cross the sea.

Looking at the thirty-mile stretch of sea, Luo Li stood still for a long time, like a statue, just staring blankly.

Suddenly, he smiled, and with a leap, he pounced towards the sea!

Even though he could not fly, he still charged into the sea, leaping ten feet in the air. Just as he was about to fall into the sea, he lightly touched the surface, and with a swing, he floated forward another ten feet, then fell into the sea again, and with another touch, he spun and soared, continuing forward!

Thus, Luo Li walked on the waves, charging forward, determined to cross the thirty-mile stretch of sea!

The north wind howled, and the waves were huge. A giant wave, thirty feet high, surged towards Luo Li. Facing this wave, like a wall of water, Luo Li roared and struck with a fist, unleashing the Thunderous Dragon Blast!

With a punch, the giant wave shattered, and Luo Li's feet landed on the surface of the sea!

This was not the body technique of the Spiritual Butterfly, but the Black Dragon Body!

The Black Dragon was the king of the sea, and walking on the sea was like returning home for him!

Luo Li laughed and leaped, now bounding across the sea even more easily, continuing forward!

At first, Luo Li still made mistakes and had many flaws when using the Spiritual Butterfly body techniques and the Black Dragon Body. But as he walked on the waves, the body techniques and the Black Dragon Body gradually became his instinct.

Eventually, there was no longer any distinction between the ten great body techniques, and it was impossible to see any turning, spinning, leaping, dashing, landing, floating, retreating, or flashing, because everything had become Luo Li's instinct!

After crossing the thirty-mile sea, Luo Li's body techniques were fully mastered, reaching the realm of walking on water, clouds emerging from the mountains, birds soaring in the sky, and fish swimming in the clear water, truly in harmony with the Dao.

"Boom!" On the surface of the sea, a clear sound echoed, and a figure emerged from the waves, it was Luo Li. He had crossed the thirty-mile sea and arrived at the Heavenly Spider Island!

Luo Li took a deep breath, he had arrived. A few hundred miles more, and he could enter the Heavenly Spider Sect market by evening.

This land was deathly silent. Originally, it was damp and cold, with many forests and countless insects, but now, covered in snow, all the insects were either dead or in hibernation, making it a desolate scene.

Luo Li took a deep breath, but he did not immediately move forward. Instead, he stood on the shore, catching his breath, restoring the true qi and physical strength he had consumed crossing the sea.

At this moment, an advantage of the Black Dragon Body became apparent: its long-lasting breath and rapid recovery. In a short time, Luo Li was fully recovered, full of energy, and continued forward.

Now, with each step, he only covered seven feet, not the thirty feet he could cover on the Spiritual Butterfly Island. He was deliberately hiding his strength.

When Luo Li arrived on the island, he sensed a malevolent presence watching him from a distance. So he immediately hid his strength, moving normally, continuing forward.

This was another advantage of the Black Dragon Body: its innate sensitivity, allowing him to sense danger and good fortune.

Fifty feet behind Luo Li, a clump of snow quietly followed him, the snow revealing a snow-white spider.

Ten miles away, in a snowy field, a voice suddenly sounded:

"Brother, we have a target. Who would have thought that in this icy cold, someone would come from the Spiritual Butterfly Island!"

Someone nearby said deeply, "Are you sure?"

The cultivator said, "Yes! He has been locked onto by my Green-Eyed Snow Spider. He is not wearing the robe of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, nor does he have the aura of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect's token. He is definitely not a disciple of the Spiritual Butterfly Sect, but a wandering cultivator.

And he crossed the sea, not flying, so he must be at the Qi Condensation stage, third or fourth level. Although he might be poor, we've been freezing and starving for a whole day. Can we not come out for nothing?

Brother, what do you think?"

A deep voice said, "Right, on this cold Minor New Year's Eve, we can't come out for nothing. It's him!

If he is sensible, he will hand over all his spirit stones and we'll give him a quick death! Move in!"
