Chapter 317: 318 This Damn Thing is the Sea-Calming Divine Needle

The System hadn’t provided much explanation about the use of Hellfire; he could only grope for answers on his own.

Unexpectedly, he had not yet tested the power of these flames, but the Sea Clan overlord had discerned it first.

This meant that his Hellfire would burn cultivators while devouring the Spiritual Power within their bodies, ensuring that once their Spiritual Power was depleted, they could easily be reduced to ashes in minutes.

This was indeed good news; with his invincible defensive power, he had no fear of attacks from other cultivators. Going forward, he could simply wander around with Hellfire ablaze and it would enable his advancement.

As for the extent of its power, he would still need to test it concretely. The overlord beneath the waters was freakishly strong, like someone who had cheated, and wasn’t fitting as a reference.

“So that’s how it is, thank you for the information, overlord,” Li Xiaobai said as he clasped his hands and spoke with a cheerful smile.

“Hmm, so can we cooperate now? You help me and I help you, building a shared destiny and escaping together, how about it?” the voice under the water spoke in a gentle and delicate tone.

“There’s no need. I have my own way out; the overlord should continue to recuperate here,” Li Xiaobai said indifferently. He had nearly collected all the benefits he could, and there were no Attribute Points left to gain from staying; it was time to leave.

“Hehe, lad, I’ve told you that you can’t get out on your own. Without Immortal Spirit Qi, even your black flame can’t break the defenses of this minor world!”

“If you want to get out, the only way is to cooperate with me sincerely!” the Sea Clan overlord from the depths of the lake lost his patience and spoke harshly, his demeanor suddenly changing.

“That’s not necessarily true; how could such a trivial minor world trap this talent? Should your Sea Clan go out, you would certainly pose a threat to all sides. It’s better for you to stay put,” Li Xiaobai said calmly. Non-kin species had different hearts, especially a man-eating Sea Clan like this.

Had it not been for his unmatched defensive power, he would have likely met his end inside its belly by now.

Picking up Ji Wuqing’s corpse, he slowly walked to the edge of the minor world.

Though strong, this barrier certainly couldn’t withstand the power of a Divine Artifact. Li Xiaobai felt a bit pained as he exchanged for the Sea-Calming Divine Needle from the marketplace; with a flick of his wrist, an ordinary-looking stick appeared in his hand.

[Sea-Calming Divine Needle (Divine Artifact): Comes with skill, becomes stronger with each wave; current skill unlocked: Shatter the Skies (can trigger skill once every one thousand swings). Price: Ten million top-grade Spirit Stones/per hour.]

[Note: A stick that’s too big also isn’t very good; one that’s just right in terms of softness and hardness is perfect.]

[Sea-Calming Divine Needle: Current swing count: 0.]

Li Xiaobai examined the stick in his hands; judging by its appearance, it was indistinguishable from a fire poker, the kind that would be unrecognizable if thrown into a pile of firewood—completely ordinary.

He lifted the stick and smashed it against the spatial barrier.

“Duang!”

The sound was rather loud, but it was utterly futile. Li Xiaobai understood the stick was undoubtedly extremely hard, but he lacked the strength to wield it effectively; to use this stick, he needed to trigger the skill.

He lifted the stick and began to swing it through the air.

[Current swing count: One.]

[Current swing count: Ten.]

[…Twenty.]

[…Fifty.]

As the swing count continued to rise, Li Xiaobai felt a bit of soreness in his wrist. Although the stick wasn’t particularly heavy, swinging it so many times was somewhat tiring.

The monster at the bottom of the lake couldn’t understand his strange movements, feeling that this was some godly enigma.

“Kid, what are you doing swinging that stick around for?”

“Hehe, I just suddenly felt like exercising a bit. You rest well; no need to mind me.”

Li Xiaobai said, gasping for breath while swinging his stick.

He only had one hour to exchange for the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, so he had to hurry and accumulate skills before causing a huge uproar.

At the bottom of the lake, the Sea Clan elder observed Li Xiaobai with a puzzled look, carefully sensing the wooden stick in his hand, but alas, he didn’t perceive anything.

But intuition told it that this thing was definitely not simple, and it was very likely the reason why the other party could leave this place.

Thinking about it, nothing that Li Xiaobai had was something it could understand, whether it was Huazi or that chicken that could come back to life, both were far beyond the common knowledge of the Cultivation World.

The wooden stick he now took out was just the same; until it showed its capabilities, it too was inscrutable to the elder. For a moment, the elder felt somewhat uncertain.

“Cough cough, kid, if you have a way out, just say it. This being might be able to give you some advice.”

The Sea Clan elder at the bottom of the lake coughed a few times and said.

“Of course, it’s to directly break out! We cultivators strive forward without fear; life and death we see light, rebellion we welcome with fight. How can a minor world confine us?”

Li Xiaobai continued, still swinging the stick in his hands.

“Kid, I am not deceiving you. This minor world is mixed with Immortal Spirit Qi. Do you know what Immortal Spirit Qi is? It is the power of Immortals from the Upper Realm, a higher order of energy system that cannot be compared to Spiritual Power.”

“Moreover, the being that created this minor world had one foot in the Upper Realm. So, even if you have the cultivation level of the Mahayana Realm, it is impossible for you to break through these spatial barriers.”

“Only Immortal Spirit Qi can break through Immortal Spirit Qi!”

After hearing Li Xiaobai’s words, the Sea Clan elder was unconvinced.

Directly break through the minor world?

If it could move freely, perhaps it would try, but merely a greenhorn like this kid, how could he possibly have such power? This was a difference in both quality and quantity, not something that could be compensated for with cultivation level.

“Oh? So that means you, Elder, possess Immortal Spirit Qi?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“Naturally, having lived for so many years, it’s only right that I’ve seized a thread of Immortal Spirit Qi. Kid, as long as you let me out, I can break these spatial barriers immediately!”

The Sea Clan elder said.

“Hehe, Elder, with such strength, I definitely can’t let you out. Just keep cultivating here comfortably.”

Li Xiaobai realized in his heart that the Sea Clan elder’s cultivation was unfathomably deep, and he also had Immortal Spirit Qi. This setup was comparable to an old beggar, and he absolutely couldn’t let him out.

Moreover, the skills for the Sea-Calming Divine Needle had already been fully accumulated.

[Sea-Calming Divine Needle: Swung a thousand times, Shatter the Skies has been activated.]

“Hehe, time to go, Shatter the Skies!”

The stick in his hand suddenly surged in size, instantaneously reaching from heaven to earth, filled with an ancient aura of the wild, its entire body flowing with the patterns and runes of Tao, and the four characters “Sea-Calming Divine Needle” burst forth with a dazzling brilliance.

Golden light pierced through the heavens, and the Sea-Calming Divine Needle broke straight out from within the minor world, poking a huge hole in it, while the surrounding barriers instantly became webbed with cracks, disintegrating into spark-like fragments, bit by bit.

Simultaneously, a faint golden shadow materialized in the void, extending a fluffy paw to grab the golden stick.

“Fog of the Proud, Fragrance of the Fruits, one strike of the Sea-Calming, and thousands of demons bow!”

“What the hell is this? The Sea-Calming Divine Needle from the Southern Sea, how did it end up in your possession!”
