"Can't even beat one finger?" Li Xuan swallowed his saliva, then extended a finger and looked at Emperor Su Yue, asking.
Emperor Su Yue nodded with a wry smile. "I met Emperor Mingyun once. A single glance from him rendered me immobile. Although this Divine Son is not on the same level as Emperor Mingyun, he is still an existence of Emperor Mingyun's caliber. I believe you can understand now."
Li Xuan nodded in surprise. It was similar to the current realm of Su Yue. The Su Yue realm was also called Emperor Su Yue, and the one in charge of the River of Time was Emperor Su Yue. Similarly, the Mingyun realm was Emperor Mingyun, and the one in charge of the River of Destiny was naturally Emperor Mingyun.
What surprised Li Xuan was that Emperor Mingyun was so much stronger than the Emperor Su Yue before him. Even with a difference in cultivation stages, he was truly powerful. Since the Divine Son had already reached the Mingyun realm, with his current strength, how could he be his opponent?
"Senior, is this what you called 'just Emperor Mingyun'?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Li with a strange expression and said.
Liu Li glanced at Li Xuan with some embarrassment and nodded. "With your current strength... he is a bit strong. But I believe in you, you will definitely catch up to him."
Li Xuan was speechless. Did she think cultivation realms were meant to be leaped over? Even if he could fight across realms, this was too much of a leap.
"Young friend, this senior is not wrong. When I saw you before, you were only in the Hua Yuan realm. In less than two years, you have already reached half a step into the Su Yue realm. And with my help within the River of Time, you can improve just by lying down." Emperor Su Yue said, seeing the situation.
Li Xuan's heart stirred. According to Emperor Su Yue, he might actually have the chance to reach a level where he could fight the Divine Son. With Emperor Su Yue and Liu Li by his side, Li Xuan believed his comprehension and talent were not bad. At this thought, Li Xuan's eyes lit up with eager anticipation.
"Don't expect me to guide you. Just cultivate as he says. You are indeed suitable for cultivating in the River of Time at the moment," Liu Li said, as if seeing through Li Xuan's thoughts.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Emperor Su Yue and said, "Thank you for your trouble, brother."
Brother!
Emperor Su Yue was overjoyed. Li Xuan had always called him "Senior" before. Now that the address had changed, it implicitly showed that his importance in Li Xuan's heart had changed.
"Don't worry, young friend. Leave it all to me, brother!" Emperor Su Yue patted his chest vigorously and said.
Liu Li also nodded slightly and said, "Go with him. I can buy you a few more years."
Li Xuan nodded, then left with Emperor Su Yue.
As Li Xuan departed, Liu Li's gaze shifted to the void.
"You guys are really quite annoying," a hint of ferocity flashed in Liu Li's eyes, and then his figure moved and disappeared from his original spot.
Xian Yu Continent, Outer Tai Xu.
"Your sword qi is quite interesting," a woman said with a smile, playing with the sword qi on her finger as Liu Li appeared.
"You are also quite interesting," Liu Li said calmly after glancing at the woman.
The woman waved her hand, scattering the sword qi at her fingertips, and her expression turned serious. "You want to protect that person?"
Liu Li smiled. "Why is a dignified Celestial like you, who should be in the Divine Realm, running here just to ask such a foolish question? He is my young master. Do you think I wouldn't protect him?"
The woman's expression also became solemn. As a Celestial, she could naturally sense Liu Li's strength. With his involvement, this struggle would undoubtedly bring about significant changes.
"It seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect your relationship with that destined one to be so close. However, even with your participation, the outcome will likely not change. And at that time, you will probably perish here," the woman said after a moment of silence.
Liu Li looked at the woman as if she were an idiot and said, "You don't think I know about the relationship between your Divine Realm and the Heavenly Defiers, do you? But you're right, if they act, I might indeed perish here. But even so, what does it matter if I perish?"
The woman's expression changed slightly. She had not expected Liu Li to be aware of the existence of the Heavenly Defiers.
"It seems I still underestimated you. Since you are determined, then let's wait and see," the woman said, glancing at Liu Li, then turned and left directly.
Liu Li watched the woman's retreating back for a long time, then sighed with a hint of helplessness.
"Young master, oh young master, you must work hard."
River of Time, deep within.
"Brother, the aura here seems terrifying," Li Xuan sensed his surroundings and immediately detected a very oppressive aura flowing.
Emperor Su Yue smiled and nodded. "The aura of time here is the most profound. Absorbing it here will lead to the fastest and most effective improvement for you. Others naturally cannot withstand the power of time here, but with my help, you can absorb it freely."
Li Xuan clasped his fists in gratitude and bowed to Emperor Su Yue. "Thank you for your trouble, brother."
Emperor Su Yue nodded with a satisfied smile. "Between us brothers, there's no need for such formalities. Alright, time is pressing, so you should start cultivating."
Li Xuan nodded, then moved his body and sat down cross-legged. With a deep exhale, Li Xuan closed his eyes and began to absorb.
