Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 208 Startled and Fleeing
"What a good thing!"

On the way back, Chen Li still couldn't stop thinking about the "spirit crystal" from the auction.

"If I could get one, my cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds in the future."

Chen Li thought to himself.

pity!

You can only look at it.

Not only are they lacking in ability, but they are also short of money.

Including the 41 high-grade spirit stones he spent today, he now has only 985 high-grade spirit stones left in his savings. This includes the blood money he made when he was ambushed last time, but it's still far from the price of 1,350 high-grade spirit stones.

Among Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was indeed considered wealthy, but compared to Golden Core cultivators, he was still a pauper.

"Sigh, never mind. As long as I can endure the loneliness, guard my Dao heart, and stay put, I will have cultivation, I will have spirit crystals, I will have everything."

After comforting himself for a while, Chen Li felt his mindset calm down.

……

For Chen Li today, academic law is as simple as eating and drinking.

Even though the Void Flight Technique is a second-tier, fourth-level high-level technique, he only spent a day, or even more precisely, a morning, less than five hours in total, to learn it.

Then, I used the illusion technique to level up.

They became proficient on the same day.

He mastered it by the second day.

……

More than a month later, he had maxed out his Void Flight Technique.

……

early morning.

The sun is rising.

The clouds on the horizon were dyed crimson.

It was late autumn, and everything was withered and decaying.

The wilderness hundreds of miles away from Stanley City.

Chen Li's body hovered hundreds of meters in the air, looking down.

This place is near the mountains, deserted and uninhabited, with rolling mountains in the distance.

He observed quietly for a while, and when no cultivators passed by, he felt relieved and flew down from the sky.

Because of the anti-air capability of Stanley City's protective array, even though Chen Li had mastered the "Void Flight Technique" to the maximum level, he had never used it. He was not comfortable testing it near Stanley City, so he had to go to a more distant place.

The reason he went to such lengths was...

I was really afraid that the experiment would be too noisy.

This is by no means Chen Li being overly cautious or making a mountain out of a molehill.

A common Void Flight Technique can give a Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivator the speed of a Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivator wielding a second-grade high-quality flying sword.

The max-level Void Flight Technique is comparable to a second-tier, level eight flight technique.

What is this concept?
Its speed is probably comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Level 9 cultivator wielding a second-tier top-grade flying sword.

This is speed approaching that of a Golden Core cultivator!

Near the bustling city of Stanley, if he dared to fly at full speed, he would definitely attract everyone's attention, and it wouldn't be surprising if he attracted a Golden Core cultivator.

Chen Li first used a technique to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Sensing the fortune or misfortune of the surroundings.

Only then did he begin to unleash the Void Flight Technique.

The incantation, hand seals, and spiritual energy manipulation are all performed in one smooth motion.

next moment.

It was accompanied by a soft "humming" sound.

Chen Li was enveloped in a layer of tangible magical silver light, and at the same time, his body felt light, his feet left the ground, and he floated slightly.

With a thought, his body moved swiftly, rising from the ground as if transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the distant sky.

"It feels similar to other flight spells, but it's more maneuverable and allows for more freedom of movement while flying."

Chen Li thought to himself, intentionally controlling his speed, flying "slowly" for a while at the speed of a normal void flight technique. After getting used to it, he began to accelerate continuously:
One hundred and fifty meters per second. ...

Two hundred meters per second.

……

300 meters per second.

……

Unfortunately, even when Chen Li pushed his speed to the limit, he still couldn't exceed the speed of sound. He sped along at lightning speed, yet he couldn't feel the slightest bit of wind. The protective silver aura around his body acted like a shield, completely isolating him from air resistance, making for an excellent flying experience.

In fact, it does.

This protective silver sheen is defensive.

Tested.

Its defense can even reach the strength of Tier 2 Level 5.

Ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators simply cannot break through its defenses.

Of course, ordinary void flight techniques cannot provide such defense; at best, they can only isolate air resistance.

This is the result of continuous optimization of techniques.

After flying at high altitude for a while, Chen Li began to descend and start flying close to the ground.

At near-sonic speeds, like an arrow released from a bow, it traversed grasslands, forests, and lakes, leaving a trail of destruction, like a hurricane in its wake, with broken trees, shattered leaves, flying sand and stones.

After flying for only a few minutes and having had a little fun, Chen Li slowed down and landed.

"This speed... now, below the Golden Core stage, I'm afraid no one can catch up with me!" Chen Li exclaimed with delight, "In the future, I can conquer this vast world..."

He was thinking about it with great delight.

A sudden sense of alarm arose in my mind, and my heart almost skipped a beat.

The lingering aura of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune sensed danger approaching from afar, and at high speed.

"what's the situation!?"

Without time to think, Chen Li quickly used an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape underground) and disappeared underground.

They had only recently disappeared.

A streak of light flew swiftly from afar, then suddenly let out a soft "Eh," and made a sharp 180-degree turn in mid-air. Without uttering a word, it broke the sound barrier and flew back from the direction it came from at an even faster speed.

The rolling sonic booms continued incessantly.

It was clearly a Golden Core cultivator.

In just a few breaths, it completely disappeared into the horizon.

After the Golden Core cultivator left, Chen Li waited for over an hour before emerging from underground, still shaken.

"I didn't expect to find a Golden Core cultivator here!"

Although the other party seemed to be just passing by and was scared away because they suspected an ambush, this time it was actually quite dangerous.

This is not Stanley City, but a desolate wilderness rarely visited by humans. It is perfectly normal for a Golden Core cultivator to casually kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator on a whim to supplement his family income, and no one knows about it yet.

Chen Li would never overestimate the character of a Golden Core cultivator just because the cultivator's cultivation level is high.

Golden Core cultivators are also human beings, with the same emotions and desires. In essence, they are no different from ordinary cultivators. In fact, they have killed more people and are more indifferent and ruthless towards life.

"Sigh, the range of the 'Avoiding Misfortune and Seeking Good Fortune' technique is really too short. It only issued a warning when we were almost there. If I hadn't reacted quickly and made a decisive move to quickly disappear underground, I would probably have been exposed to the enemy's sight. After that, my life or death would have been in the hands of others," Chen Li thought to himself.

Of course, as a first-tier spell, he couldn't ask for too much.

Chen Li felt that ever since the Zhen Huan Sect was wiped out and they moved to Stanley City, he had been plagued by bad luck.

Not long after arriving in Stanley City, he encountered remnants of the Heavenly Star Sect.

He killed him.

Things calmed down for less than six months after that.

I went to the Fire Cloud Sect's mountain gate, and then encountered an ambush upon my return.

He killed him.

And then it's today again.

Having finally managed to go out, and even deliberately choosing a secluded location, I still encountered Jin Dan.

He... scared them away.
