Chapter 1166 The Last Spirit Seed

Lu Li chatted with Aizen about the current state of the space, then left the miscellaneous tasks to Sousuke.

He had more pressing matters to attend to, and after confirming some things with the End Space, he immediately set off again.

Before long, he arrived at the Desolate Ancient Space, which was the bet that the End Space had made with the Desolate Ancient Space in advance.

For a moment, the explorers of the Desolate Ancient Space were somewhat bewildered, because they heard a notification saying that the Imprisoned Demon of the End had come to challenge the Desolate Ancient Space.

The storm in the World Sea had just ended, and everyone was still feeling uneasy. At this time, someone came to cause trouble. The explorers of the Desolate Ancient Space were naturally angry, believing that the End Space was taking advantage of them.

As a result, many explorers clamored for their ancient space's bigwigs to step in and kill the imprisoned demon, thus displaying the might of their ancient race.

However, those who stepped into the dueling arena prepared in the desolate ancient space felt somewhat uneasy.

"Brother Prisoner Demon... are you really going to fight?"

Tianhuang scratched his head and said.

"If we really fight, the End side has bet five spirit seeds, while you Ancient Ones have one. What amazing odds!"

Lu Li said with a smile.

Tianhuang couldn't help but curse, "You bastard... you said it yourself, it was gambling, how can you knowingly sit at the table when you know the other party is cheating?"

"Where did we cheat in the End?"

Lu Li shrugged.

"You're a fucking conman!"

Tianhuang retorted angrily, "Don't think I don't know. You just tricked Paradise a while ago, single-handedly suppressing more than twenty peak ninth-tier cultivators. I'm not stupid. I couldn't beat you when I was young, but I can now?"

Lu Li laughed upon hearing this, not expecting the other party to be so straightforward. "What do you suggest, Brother Tianhuang?"

"Hmm... let's... change to a literary contest!"

Tianhuang said, "Yes, a battle of wits!"

"Oh? How exactly will this verbal battle unfold?"

Lu Li is quite patient with his old friends.

"Hmm... how about this, let's have a contest to see who can pee the farthest."

Tianhuang said with a righteous expression.

"Then I'd rather just kill you."

Lu Li picked up the Demon Prisoner and walked forward.

"Stop!"

Tianhuang raised a hand, "Then, let's compare our ability to deal damage while stationary!"

He had a sudden inspiration and asked the Ancient Space to prepare a damage test stake, "Whoever can hit it with a higher number in one strike wins."

"Do you think I'm stupid? This is your family's stake."

Lu Li remained silent.

"Brother Prisoner, you can't talk nonsense. This is a fair competition between two great spaces. If you don't believe me, ask the End. The Ancient Desolate would never tamper with the stakes."

Tianhuang said solemnly.

Lu Li thought for a moment, then asked about the End Space, and received an affirmative answer. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Tianhuang breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the stake. He exerted all his strength, and the power of the Ancient Spirit Seed was also pushed to its peak. Now he could achieve 100% true damage, which was the source of his confidence in competing with Lu Li in terms of stationary output.

The reason he was unwilling to fight Lu Li head-on was not because he felt his damage output would be weak, but because his mobility was not as high as that of the Prisoner Demon. He believed that if he couldn't hit Lu Li in a fight, he would be at a great disadvantage.

But comparing pure numerical values ​​is different; he has confidence in his own power and the Ancient Spirit Seed.

boom--

Amidst the deafening roar, a number appeared on the stake: 319.

The unit of this number is 'Dao', which is a way of counting offensive power originating from the Heavenly Dao Space. The principle is that someone analyzed the initial power of basic attributes and believed that if there were an empty shell with 340 attribute points that knew nothing, how much damage could it deal if it punched without any special skills?

That basic unit is the Dao. Simply put, Tianhuang's attack dealt the equivalent of 319 pure waste ninth-tier peak single-attack damage.

When the people of the Desolate Ancient Space saw this number, they cheered for the pioneers of their space and were very excited because this number was remarkable. It was normal for a peak ninth-tier cultivator to be able to land dozens of strikes, and it was rare to land more than a hundred. As for more than three hundred strikes, it was probably unique in the Desolate Ancient Space at present.

"Brother Prisoner, it's your turn."

Tianhuang seemed quite satisfied with the numbers he had produced, and yielded his position.

Lu Li looked at the counting stakes and said, "They're quite interesting."

As he spoke, without drawing his sword, he walked to the stake, casually patted it, and then turned and walked towards Tianhuang.

Just as Tianhuang was about to say, "Brother Qiumo, don't mess around, I won't let you start over," his eyes widened in surprise.

Because he saw that after Lu Li turned around, the numbers on the stake jumped rapidly and finally settled on... 320.

In an instant, the explorers of the desolate ancient space erupted in an uproar, all feeling sorry for Tianhuang's defeat, thinking that it was too painful to lose by such a narrow margin.

Some people are saying that maybe Tianhuang didn't perform well; if he had performed a little better, he might have won.

Only Tianhuang himself looked extremely ashamed. When he looked at Lu Li again, he politely clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Brother Qiumo's strength is unfathomable. I, Old Ape, admire you."

He almost blurted out "I am Laozi" (a vulgar term for a man who has lost his mind), but thankfully he corrected himself quickly. However, his sincerity and admiration were genuine.

Because he wasn't one of those naive spectators who could immediately understand that Lu Li's fight was just casual and not at full strength.

The most terrifying thing is that Lu Li hit 320, which was just one step ahead of him. This means that Lu Li could roughly judge the range of power required by the first time he used the stake just by looking at his own move, and he could control his power with extreme precision, getting it stuck at 320.

Getting a perfect score on an exam isn't scary; what's scary is that people can get as many points as they want. Lu Li is like that; with a casual flick of his wrist, he beat Lu Li by exactly one point.

In a sense, Lu Li also gave Tianhuang face. If he had unleashed thousands or tens of thousands of attacks in one strike, wouldn't Tianhuang's hundreds of attacks have become clowns?

"Then I will gladly accept the spirit seed."

Lu Li said with a smile.

"Alas, it's not an insult to the Spirit Seed to you. Anyway, I've already grasped quite a bit of its mysteries, so losing it isn't fatal. If it can help Brother Prisoner, that would be a good thing."

Although Tianhuang said this, he was still reluctant to hand over the spirit seed. "I won't take it for nothing. To be honest, I just want to comprehend the mysteries of the spirit seed. I don't intend to rely on it. Once I understand it, the ancient spirit seed will be returned to its rightful owner."

Lu Li comforted him.

After the matter was settled, Tianhuang wanted to invite Luli to stay for drinks, but Luli politely declined, saying that the situation was still unclear and he needed to speed up the collection of spirit seeds. He would treat everyone to drinks once everything was settled.

Seeing that Lu Li was serious, Tianhuang did not insist on keeping him. Lu Li then left the Desolate Ancient Space and headed to the Primordial Space.

“Brother Prisoner Demon, I know your strength is unparalleled, but I still want to fight you. It has nothing to do with the ownership of the spirit seed, but only to prove my path.”

When Dao Yan saw Lu Li, he said with a serious expression that he didn't want to engage in any literary debate with Lu Li, he just wanted to fight.

"Very well, please proceed with your task, fellow Daoist."

Lu Li nodded, saying he respected the other party's wishes.

Thus, a great battle unfolded in the Hongmeng Space, with many powerful figures from the Hongmeng Space watching, including Lu Li's old acquaintance, Silk Stocking Milk Tea, who had now advanced to the peak of the ninth rank.

Lu Li and Dao Yan fought for three hundred rounds without a clear winner, but Dao Yan suddenly stopped and said, "I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore, Brother Prisoner, I admit defeat."

Dao Yan realized that Lu Li was giving him face and didn't want him to lose too badly.

He had used all his moves, but he couldn't touch Lu Li at all. To outsiders, it seemed like they were evenly matched, but only he knew that even if Lu Li stood there and didn't move, he still couldn't kill him.

Although they are both at the peak of the ninth rank, the gap between them is too great in certain areas.

"Brother Daoyan, you are too modest. Your path still has room for improvement, and it is already stronger than many peak ninth-order cultivators I have seen."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Dao Yan readily handed over the spirit seed he possessed. After the battle, many people that Lu Li knew in the Hongmeng Space swarmed around him, asking all sorts of questions.

Lu Li also discovered that Luo Mojuancai was not dead, even though he thought Luo Mojuancai was one of the weaker players in the group.

After chatting for a while, the group learned that Lu Li intended to collect all nine spirit seeds before considering his next move, so they didn't linger, saying that they would have another chance to meet in the future.

Moreover, in the Qiankun bag that Grandma Xue gave Lu Li, there was also a new type of bracelet. He had actually been pulled back into the group chat by Fatty Dragon, but Lu Li hadn't said a word in the group yet.

The main problem was that he didn't know many people left in the group; they were all newcomers. At this point, Lu Li finally understood how the big shots from Manjusaka felt back then.

They may not necessarily be aloof or busy; it's just that most of the group members who used to laugh and joke with them are no longer around.

Next stop, the realm of the gods.

The pioneer who mastered the Spirit Seed in the Divine Realm was named Dao Miao Zhenjun. However, what is interesting is that the Spirit Seed mastered by Dao Miao Zhenjun was not a divine seed, but an arcane spirit seed.

Dao Miao Zhenjun was naturally unhappy to learn that the End had made a bet with the Divine Space, because the Spirit Seed originally belonged to him, but was used by the Divine Space to wager it.

Although the bet stated that if he won, he could obtain all the spirit seeds held by the imprisoned demon, which was very tempting, how could the opponent, who could collect so many spirit seeds, be easy to deal with?

But since the bet had already been made, as the pioneer, he could only fulfill his duty, and besides, he didn't think he would definitely lose.

[With the witness of the divine and the ultimate realms, the duel begins!]

As soon as the notification sound rang out, Lu Li immediately took action.

Dao Miao Zhenjun originally had many tactics in mind, but after the first wave of collisions, all his tactical ideas vanished.

The reason was simple: he discovered that Lu Li was holding his head in his hand.

“Fellow Daoist of this deity, do you still wish to fight? I came here only for the Spirit Seed, not to kill.”

Lu Li picked the other person up and asked him a question.

Dao Miao Zhenjun's face turned pale and then red, but in the end, he could only sigh, "Brother Qiu Mo is righteous and spared my life. How could I possibly harm myself? The Arcane Seed is yours."

Lu Li smiled upon hearing this, put the other person's head back on, and wasn't worried about the other person breaking the contract.

The spectators in the Divine Space didn't feel humiliated at all. Instead, they felt that the Imprisoned Demon of the End had the demeanor of a powerful figure. Given the huge difference in combat strength, their Pioneer's defeat was not unjust.

After stripping the Arcane Spirit Seed, Dao Miao Zhenjun handed it to Lu Li, saying, "Brother Qiu Mo only needs one more spirit seed to complete the set, but this last one might be a bit troublesome. I wonder how the End has arranged it?"

"Well, I only found out about this after I got back. It is indeed a bit troublesome, but since the End Space has given me its coordinates, there is no reason for me not to go and take a look."

Lu Li said with a smile, knowing why the other party found the last spirit seed troublesome.

Because the last seed of the gods is now in the hands of a forbidden being from the original world.

The Seed of the Gods is naturally related to the Divine Realm. Dao Miao Zhenjun had the ambition to reclaim it in his early years, but the Seed of the Gods was in the hands of a forbidden being, which made things difficult.

Lu Li now knows that spirit seeds are of little use to the taboos of the space. Manjusaka also said that only non-taboo items can be nurtured, but she did not say that taboo items would completely prevent one from comprehending the mysteries of spirit seeds.

This thing is a treasure even in the vast universe. Having obtained the forbidden item from the original world, it's impossible to let it go easily.

Since the supreme powerhouse of the space is not interested in the spirit seed, he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to cause trouble for that forbidden one and try to seize the spirit seed.

Even if Lu Li were to tell Manjusaka about this, she would absolutely not lend a hand, because the task of having him collect spirit seeds was a kind of trial, and if a forbidden expert were to help, it would lose its true meaning.

Therefore, Lu Li has to solve this problem himself, which means he has to confront a forbidden being from the original world.

After bidding farewell to the divine space, Lu Li did not rush to set off. Instead, he prepared to rest and recuperate in the End Space, synchronizing the newly acquired spiritual seeds into himself.

He then went to the Dragon Ball world to see his disciples.

The Dragon Ball world was also implicitly transferred to Aizen, who adjusted its timeline, but even so, hundreds of thousands of years had passed within it.

Many people on Earth have passed away, and only those warrior races who practiced the art of immortality under his tutelage are still alive.

Many people were deeply moved upon seeing Lu Li again, and invited him to stay for a while so that he could answer their questions.

I must say, Goku and Vegeta are really talented. They are already ninth-tier powerhouses, and they are not weak at all. After being guided by Lu Li, they are showing signs of further improvement.

Lu Li thus settled down in this realm, comprehending the spiritual seed, sensing the Great Dao, and integrating what he had gained in the primordial divine realm.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years have passed. Lu Li not only cultivated all the newly acquired spirit seeds to maturity, but also reawakened the vitality of the five depleted spirit seeds.

Looking at the eight spirit seeds, Lu Li seemed to have some understanding, but he felt that something was still missing. He believed that there was a cycle between the spirit seeds, and they were complementary. To understand this, he had to collect them all.

So he emerged from seclusion, preparing to make a trip to that original world to retrieve the last spirit seed.

Before that, he needed to go to Chu Chu's place to retrieve his repaired equipment.
