Chapter 59

"Exactly what is this Boundary Divine Stele? Why does it have such power! It can even penetrate my Moon Pupil Technique and burn the soul!"

Li Yunxiao's heart pounded. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. "This strange power is even greater than my Transcendent Ninth Rank Mystic Armament, the Star-Cutting Sword. Could it be an artifact from the Ten Directions Realm!"

He, who once stood at the peak of this continent, naturally knew that beyond the Ninth Heaven Realm, there was the ethereal Ten Directions Realm. Legends said that once one entered the Ten Directions Realm, they could achieve the ultimate in martial arts, becoming a god of martial arts!

"Boundary Divine Stele, Boundary Divine Stele! Could it be the Ten Directions Realm divine artifact left behind by the legendary Martial God?"

He was suddenly greatly shocked and muttered excitedly, "It must be! The power that can directly attack the soul can only be the divine power of the Ten Directions Martial God!"

What was this Tian Shui Kingdom in the past? How could it have an artifact left by the Martial God! No wonder there was a Vermilion Bird Divine Fire Array at the entrance. Although the array was intact, the setup was crude, clearly a hasty job. This Martial God must have encountered some emergency, which is why he left the Boundary Divine Stele.

Just as he figured out the sequence of events, he suddenly said to himself, "No, no, achieving the ultimate in martial arts and becoming a god of martial arts means eternal life and ancient existence. Every thought and movement is a rule of martial arts. How could there be an emergency? What is going on?"

He sat down and closed the door to meditate. Strange powers emanated from the Boundary Divine Stele, continuously flowing and cleansing his body. Li Yunxiao felt incredibly comfortable but dared not open his eyes, fearing another soul burn.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his spirit sea, and countless points of light gathered on the spirit platform, beginning to form.

"Great Derivation Divine Technique!"

Influenced by the Boundary Divine Stele, the Great Derivation Divine Technique spontaneously formed again. Golden characters filled with supreme mysteries began to flash in the void of his spirit sea. He was delighted but also vaguely sensed that this Great Derivation Divine Technique might also be a cultivation technique used by the Martial God.

As the Great Derivation Divine Technique appeared, his injured soul began to be nourished, like a clear spring flowing through, and his soul power rapidly recovered. His body, bathed in the light of the Boundary Divine Stele, felt incredibly comfortable.

It was like lying in the sun on a winter day, so comfortable that he didn't want to move and even felt drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yunxiao suddenly woke up. He was shocked to find that he had really fallen asleep. The Boundary Divine Stele had completely turned into a white jade material, standing quietly with no light.

On the stele's surface, it seemed that white silver sand was slowly flowing. Li Yunxiao opened his eyes wide and saw it, instantly drawing a cold breath. The flowing light was actually the cosmic star river!

Li Yunxiao was shocked and muttered, "This Boundary Divine Stele can actually communicate with the power of the star river, truly wondrous! I wonder if I can imprint it!"

He began to form a strange hand seal with both hands. Soon, a lotus flower appeared in his palm and gently fell onto the Boundary Divine Stele.

He was extremely cautious. The existence of the Boundary Divine Stele had already surpassed any artifact he had encountered before. Even at his peak in his previous life, he wouldn't dare to be careless. Now, he was even more cautious, fearing that one wrong move could lead to eternal ruin. He couldn't guarantee that he could be reborn again.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Li Yunxiao's spirit sea was greatly shaken, his pupils dilated, and a force directly rushed into his spirit sea. His whole body floated uncontrollably, his mind seemingly controlled by some force, completely out of his control!

He was terrified, knowing that his power was too weak and had been directly controlled by the Boundary Divine Stele. It was like he used to control others with his pupil techniques, a complete state of being controlled.

Fortunately, this lasted only a moment. His body fell heavily to the ground. He felt a clarity in his spirit sea, and the Boundary Divine Stele was quietly floating above his dantian, with the star river flowing!

"Success!" Li Yunxiao jumped up in joy, bumping his head on the ceiling, causing a sharp pain.

He looked around and found that the Li family's cave was no longer there. He was in a small space of about ten square meters, about two meters high, entirely built of diamond rock. After he put away the Boundary Divine Stele, the pocket dimension naturally disappeared, and he was back in the original cave.

Li Yunxiao calmed down and examined his body. He was surprised to find that he had directly broken through to a Five-Star Warrior, and it was at the peak of Five-Star, just one step away from Six-Star.

However, he wasn't overly delighted. After all, this level of cultivation was still quite weak in his eyes. Whether he progressed a little more or less didn't matter much. What truly delighted him was that his soul power had made significant progress, though it hadn't yet reached the second stage, it was not far off.

"I'll try to see if I can control the Boundary Divine Stele!"

He carefully sat down and began to infiltrate his divine consciousness into it, his mind racing. Since the Boundary Divine Stele had been refined and imprinted into his body, it was naturally closely related to him. With the movement of his divine consciousness, he could indeed sense the existence of the Boundary Divine Stele.

However, to his disappointment, no matter how he tried, he could only enter the pocket dimension of the Boundary Divine Stele and could not control it at all.

"This is a mess!" He cursed, "If I can't control it, it's just an extra spatial ring!"

He tried countless times but still had no response. The only thing was that everything in the Li family's secret treasury was now in the Boundary Divine Stele, not a single stone left. After checking the Li family's inventory, his mood improved a bit.

Li Baifeng was waiting anxiously at the entrance. Seeing Li Yunxiao appear, he sighed in relief and stared at the spatial ring in his hand, frowning and glaring, "You were in there for so long, didn't you take all the good stuff! This is the Li family's accumulation over a thousand years, don't take too much!"

Don't take too much, I took the entire cave...

Li Yunxiao was drenched in sweat, took off the spatial ring, and handed it to Li Baifeng, "Here, take it."

He had already put all the valuable things into the Boundary Divine Stele. This ring only had some gold coins and daily necessities left.

"This... this..." Li Baifeng's mouth dropped open, looking at the spatial ring in his hand, stunned and at a loss for words. He thought, did he not take much good stuff? Well, this kid is still decent.

Li Yunxiao said, "Fourth Uncle, you will handle the Li family's daily affairs for a while. I will go into seclusion. As for Li Yi, he won't dare to return in the short term. And there's no problem with the old man, so don't worry."

Hearing his instructions, Li Baifeng felt a bit strange but wasn't too surprised. After all, Li Yunxiao's strength and wisdom in recent times had already been recognized and praised by everyone. He was originally a bit worried about Li Yi, but hearing that the old man was fine, he was reassured.

Li Chunyang was the absolute backbone and spiritual pillar of the Li family!

Li Yunxiao sent the four Great Martial Masters back to report to Qin Yue and Bai Mou, then took Ji Meng to the Alchemy Guild.

He planned to refine some pills, not only for Xiao Qingwang and Chen Dasheng's injuries but also for future martial arts cultivation. With the current turmoil in Tian Shui Kingdom, there would likely be no peaceful days ahead.

What needed to be done now was to prepare in advance!

"Master Jia Rong?" Lu Yao led Li Yunxiao and shook her head slightly, "Master Jia Rong and President Xu entered seclusion at the same time and haven't come out yet."

Li Yunxiao smiled, "It's fine, go and call him out. He won't blame you."

Lu Yao was a bit hesitant. She knew Li Yunxiao's status, but disturbing an alchemist's seclusion could have serious consequences. Jia Rong had specifically emphasized that even if the sky fell, he should not be disturbed, making her even more hesitant. "Young Master Yun, I really can't. If Master Jia Rong..."

"If he blames you, I will take all the consequences and compensate for all your losses," Li Yunxiao interrupted her, speaking calmly.

Lu Yao was stunned, her eyes full of difficulty, and sweat began to bead on her forehead. She couldn't afford to offend Jia Rong, but could she afford to offend Young Master Yun?

At this moment, Ji Meng also frowned, "Young Master Yun, an alchemist's seclusion is more dangerous than a martial artist's cultivation. If disturbed, the best outcome is a disrupted cultivation, and the worst could be a mental breakdown."

He saw Lu Yao's difficulty and didn't want Li Yunxiao to get into trouble, so he kindly reminded him.

Li Yunxiao ignored him and smiled at Lu Yao, "If Jia Rong knows I'm looking for him and you don't inform him, the consequences will be even more serious."

Ji Meng's face darkened, thinking that Li Yunxiao was being too arrogant. Alchemists were what kind of people? In his view, they were all arrogant, crazy people who spent their days in research labs, looking down on everyone except those more powerful alchemists.

Who was Li Yunxiao? Just a young master of the Li family, though his martial arts comprehension was high, but they followed the path of alchemy, why would they care about him?

Just as Ji Meng was slightly displeased, Lu Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Master Liang!" Liang Wenyu was walking over, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the sky fell, someone else would catch it.

"Young Master Yun? Commander Ji?" Liang Wenyu was slightly stunned and then understood the situation.

He inwardly sighed bitterly. Li Yunxiao was a madman who didn't even care about the president and Master Zhang Qingfan. He was hard to deal with, so he had to force himself to say, "Young Master Yun, Jia Rong is in seclusion, and we can't disturb him rashly. If you have any matters, I can help you."

Li Yunxiao said, "I plan to refine a batch of pills and need Jia Rong's help."

Liang Wenyu laughed, relieved, "It's just this matter. Our Alchemy Guild has plenty of alchemists. I'll arrange for two alchemists to refine pills for Young Master Yun."
