Chapter 288 Changes in the River of Time

"Yin Chuan, after breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing stage, has been targeted?"

A hint of surprise flickered in Li Qi's eyes.

But after a moment's thought, he was no longer too astonished.

It was only natural.

After all, a Heavenly Dao at the Tribulation Crossing stage possessed an extremely fatal attraction to those who needed it.

Although Yin Chuan's cultivation had already reached the Tribulation Crossing stage, he was only unrivaled within his own Void Black Market.

Around them, there were dozens of other Void Black Markets, and while Tribulation Crossing cultivators weren't as common as cabbage, there were still quite a few established ones.

Among those established Tribulation Crossing cultivators, a small portion did not possess a plane and roamed the Void Black Markets.

Most Tribulation Crossing cultivators were, in fact, Plane Lords.

And with Yin Chuan, a newly ascended Tribulation Crossing cultivator, possessing a Tribulation Crossing stage Heavenly Dao, it was impossible not to attract the covetous gaze of others.

In fact, Li Qi had already anticipated this problem long ago.

Even with his strength at the time, he did not fear the exposure of the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao breaking through under the watchful eyes of countless individuals.

However, if he could avoid trouble, Li Qi naturally wouldn't seek it out.

But Yin Chuan lacked that capability.

Firstly, he was currently the strongest in the Yin Zong Domain, already exposed to countless eyes, making it inconvenient to hide many of his actions.

Even if Yin Chuan wanted to keep a low profile and have the Yin Zong Heavenly Dao break through within an isolation formation, similar to Li Qi's situation, it was impossible.

Setting aside whether Yin Chuan possessed such advanced formation skills, with so many eyes watching, Yin Chuan's actions would be severely restricted.

After all, the Yin Zong Small World was the most central small world within the Yin Zong District of the Yin Zong Domain.

It was far from the inconspicuous Dixu Realm in the Xiao Yan District of the Yin Zong Domain.

With a thought, Li Qi directly contacted his primary natal spirit puppet, currently located in the Void Black Market.

"What is Yin Chuan's current situation?"

Primary Natal Spirit Puppet: "It's not good. Many powerful figures from other Void Black Markets are blockading the outside of the Yin Zong Small World. Yin Chuan dare not go out and can only rely on the amplification of the Plane Lord's authority to resist for a while. However, he won't be able to hold on for long."

"Uh, surrounded again? Does Yin Chuan have some special unlucky physique?"

Hearing this, Li Qi's expression turned somewhat peculiar.

This wasn't the first time.

The last time, Yin Chuan was severely injured due to the Youlan Auction and was besieged by the strongest cultivators from many regions. Only after breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing stage was he able to fight back and seek revenge.

And now, after becoming a Tribulation Crossing cultivator, he was besieged again?

This time, Yin Chuan couldn't suddenly explode with power and kill all the surrounding Tribulation Crossing cultivators, could he?

If that were the case, Li Qi would have to suspect that Yin Chuan also possessed a golden finger system.

However, jokes aside, Li Qi's expression became grave.

Although the targets of those Tribulation Crossing cultivators were likely the Tribulation Crossing stage Heavenly Dao of the Yin Zong Small World, Yin Chuan, as its Plane Lord, and the sole Tribulation Crossing stage expert in the Yin Zong Domain, could not easily swallow this humiliation. The final outcome might be him seeking mutual destruction with others.

Yin Chuan could not be allowed to be besieged and killed by so many Tribulation Crossing cultivators.

If Yin Chuan truly died, the force that had completely unified the Yin Zong Domain would be gone. Li Qi himself would not actively intervene in the public eye.

At that point, the Yin Zong Domain, which had just been integrated, would likely split again.

If it had never been integrated, it would be fine.

But once Yin Chuan perished, all those Dao Integration peak cultivators who had previously remained low-key would vie for control of the entire Yin Zong Domain, which would truly mark the beginning of chaos.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Li Qi, for the stability of the Xiao Yan District and the Dixu Realm, would not stand by and watch Yin Chuan perish.

Moreover, Yin Chuan had supplied him with Dao Integration stage Heavenly Dao will for decades. For this reason alone, Li Qi would intervene to save him.

"There's no time to delay. I'll personally make a trip to the Yin Zong Small World."

Li Qi murmured. From the information provided by the primary natal spirit puppet, he knew that the number of other Void Black Market powerhouses heading to the Yin Zong Small World was not small.

There were even several cultivators at the sixth or seventh heaven of the Tribulation Crossing stage. Relying solely on his natal spirit puppet, even a Tribulation Crossing stage puppet, would not be enough to resolve this matter.

"First, I'll set up a new reset node. This cannot be forgotten."

Li Qi's mind stirred.

In his pupils, a long river of time was reflected.

And this time, seeing the newly appeared river of time, a faint hint of surprise appeared in Li Qi's eyes.

Compared to his memory,

The rolling streams within the minuscule river of time belonging to him seemed to have thickened.

There was a gap of at least two to three times.

Furthermore, the river of time flowing within it had become much clearer in Li Qi's eyes.

Casually looking towards the upper reaches of the river, under his gaze, Li Qi's mind involuntarily began to recall the scenes he had experienced.

Unconsciously, Li Qi turned his gaze towards the very beginning of his river of time.

Images once again appeared in Li Qi's mind.

His disheveled transmigration, the surprise of entering the cultivation world, followed by disappointment upon learning of the world's intense competition, and then, due to prolonged working to earn money, Li Qi's occupational diseases worsened, and his kidney function declined.

Suddenly, Li Qi frowned slightly. He hadn't noticed it before, and the things he saw were not as clear as they were now.

Now, Li Qi remembered.

"This is not right. Where is my previous life? The scenes before I transmigrated?"

Thinking this, Li Qi attempted to look beyond the end of his river of time.

But alas, all he saw was a blurry void beyond the end of his river of time.

After staring for a long time, Li Qi was still unable to see through what lay beyond the end of his river of time.

Even after staring for too long, even Li Qi felt his eyes ache and become dry, and his soul felt a sense of fatigue.

Finally, Li Qi completely gave up on observing the end of the river of time.

"Next time, when my strength improves further, I'll take a look."

Li Qi thought to himself, then waited. Only after the fatigue in his soul disappeared did he set his new reset node.

With all preparations made,

With a thought, Li Qi's figure flickered and disappeared beyond the Dixu Realm.
