Chapter 72

Time passed bit by bit, and a good part of the hour had gone by. Inside Lu Li's lower abdomen, the amount of mystic energy at the intersection of the Chong and Ren meridians kept increasing. At this moment, the space that was originally the size of a fist had been expanded to the size of a palm. If it weren't for the intangible energy transmitted from the beast tooth, Lu Li would probably have fainted from the intense pain by now.

Lu Li gathered all the mystic energy in his body. The mystic energy split into countless streams, rotating in two directions like the yin and yang fish, one after another, orderly and methodically, and the speed of their movement kept increasing.

"Must succeed, must succeed, just a little more, beast tooth!"

Lu Li was extremely anxious; this was the most critical moment. The mystic energy was now rotating on its own, and the speed was getting faster and faster. This indicated that the vortex was about to form successfully. Once the vortex stabilized, the divine sea would be solidified, and he would break through to the Divine Sea Realm.

Half an incense stick later, the beast tooth suddenly stopped glowing, and the intangible energy in Lu Li's body slowly disappeared. He was filled with terror because he could already clearly feel the intense pain in his body, and the pain was becoming increasingly unbearable.

"Endure, endure, ah... I must endure!"

Lu Li roared in his heart, completely ignoring the pain in his body. His mind was focused on maintaining the vortex, preventing it from collapsing.

He was in great danger at this moment. If he continued to endure, he would soon faint. Once he fainted, the mystic energy in the vortex would be out of control, and if any problem occurred, he would be blown to pieces.

But if he stopped controlling the mystic energy now, all his efforts would be in vain, and this attempt to form the divine sea would end in failure.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was torn between two choices. As the pain in his body intensified, he finally made up his mind.

He opened his eyes and, as quickly as possible, swallowed the remaining healing pill. Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, fainting.

He chose to take a big gamble, trusting the beast tooth.

The mystic energy in the vortex was already rotating on its own. As long as his body didn't have any issues, the vortex would continue to rotate and eventually form successfully, allowing him to create the divine sea and break through to the Divine Sea Realm.

The healing pill would enter his body, and the beast tooth would glow, stabilizing his injuries and ensuring his body remained intact. As long as his body was fine, the vortex would eventually form successfully.

Of course...

This was all Lu Li's speculation. If anything went wrong, he would be doomed, and the chaotic mystic energy would tear him apart into a pile of flesh.

Recently, practicing the Thunderbolt Mystic Technique and forming the divine sea had taken Lu Li almost twenty days. He had no idea about the situation outside. If the conflict over the Ice Abyss had reached a conclusion, the battle between the Liu and Zhao families would break out immediately.

The Zhao family hated him to the bone, and he was definitely on their hit list. So he didn't have much time. He needed to quickly enhance his combat strength to protect himself and his sister in the upcoming battle.

Therefore, he could only take a gamble, betting his life on it!

...

Lu Li won the bet. After the healing pill entered his body, the beast tooth began to glow.

When his body was about to reach its limit, a stream of intangible energy from the beast tooth entered, helping to stabilize his body. The mystic energy at the intersection of the Chong and Ren meridians continued to rotate along the original path without becoming chaotic.

The mystic energy rotated faster and faster, eventually merging and forming a rapidly spinning vortex.

An hour later, the speed of the vortex began to slow down. Two hours later, the speed of the vortex had slowed to the extreme, and the space at the intersection of the two meridians had changed. The surrounding meridians became firm and elastic, and most importantly, they wouldn't retract and rebound, indicating that the formation was complete.

The divine sea was fully formed!

During this time, Lu Ling had come in once but didn't know that Lu Li had just gone through a life-and-death crisis. She thought he was just too tired and had fallen asleep.

Three hours later, it was already midnight. Lu Li finally woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark room, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. He was dazed for a moment, then suddenly sat up, fully awake.

"I succeeded, I actually succeeded!"

Lu Li entered a meditative state to check his body and was overjoyed. He got up and rushed out, but ended up bumping into the wall. He originally wanted to tell Lu Ling the good news but realized it was already late at night.

"I succeeded, I won the bet!"

Lu Li walked back, excitedly pacing back and forth in the room. The room was dim, and Lu Li almost tripped several times. He walked for three incense sticks' time before his excitement subsided.

"Let's try practicing!"

Lu Li sat down to practice mystic energy, wanting to confirm if he had reached the Divine Sea Realm. As he circulated the War God Scroll, mystic energy immediately surged through his meridians. Lu Li directed the mystic energy to the divine sea, and the strands of mystic energy instantly merged into the vortex.

Lu Li then tried to gather mystic energy from the divine sea. The vortex spun faster, and strands of mystic energy separated from the vortex and flowed into his meridians.

"Great!"

Lu Li was 100% sure he had successfully formed the divine sea, and the mystic energy in the vortex was much more refined than the mystic energy he had cultivated. He had entered the Divine Sea Realm.

"Practice, practice!"

The vortex had just formed, and the realm had just been crossed, so it needed time to stabilize. The more mystic energy Lu Li cultivated, the more stable the vortex would become, and the divine sea would not collapse.

That night, he didn't sleep, practicing until dawn. He stopped only when Lu Ling got up to check on him.

"Hum!"

When Lu Li opened his eyes, he had a different aura. His eyes were more confident, and his face was radiant. Lu Ling's beautiful eyes widened, and she asked, "Brother, did you succeed in forming the divine sea?"

Lu Li grinned and nodded, "Sister, I succeeded. I am now a Divine Sea Realm warrior."

"Great!"

Lu Ling's face lit up with a bright smile, like a blooming flower. She said proudly, "Our Lu family's children are so excellent. You haven't disgraced Father, and I am proud of you."

Lu Li scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said, "This time, it was mostly thanks to the beast tooth. If it weren't for the beast tooth, I probably wouldn't have broken through in the short term."

"Yes, it is indeed a rare treasure. You must be careful and keep it safe, so no one can take it from you."

Lu Ling nodded slightly and didn't ask about the details. Because of her leg injury and the severed meridians, she couldn't practice and wasn't interested in cultivation matters.

She suddenly remembered something and said, "The conflict over the Ice Abyss and the Beast Emperor should be coming to an end soon. You need to be mentally prepared!"

"Is it finally going to end?"

Lu Li's joy turned a bit heavy, and he asked, "Sister, how did you get this information without leaving the house?"

Lu Ling explained, "You've been in seclusion for the past few days, so you might not know. Several dozen ironclad spaceships and ancient war chariots have arrived from the south. According to Aunt Cheng, they are all from the super families of Qingzhou. With so many powerful super family members here, the Beast Emperor won't last much longer. Once the Beast Emperor is killed, Wuling City will be in chaos."
