"Junior, what nonsense are you spouting!" an elder with intermediate Heavenly End Realm cultivation frowned and rebuked.
In his eyes, Kai Ji was an existence with advanced Heavenly End Realm cultivation. Moreover, Kai Ji was the first person in a long time to be able to contend with the woman in red. If Kai Ji could pass, he would surely inflict some injuries on the woman in red.
This way, their chances of crossing the stone bridge, as intermediate Heavenly End Realm cultivators, would increase.
Many of the strong individuals present were not fools and naturally understood this. Now, Li Xuan suddenly saying that Kai Ji was going to lose, wouldn't that mean they had no chance at all?
Li Xuan ignored him, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Chen frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and followed Li Xuan.
*Bang!*
Just as Li Xuan and Chen Chen left, a *bang* sound immediately rang out.
In the next moment, Kai Ji's figure actually flew backward.
*Puff!*
Coupled with a mouthful of blood, Kai Ji's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This... he actually lost!"
Everyone present was shocked and their faces changed. Their gazes subconsciously turned to where Li Xuan had been standing, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Young Master, how did you know Kai Ji couldn't defeat that woman in red?" Chen Chen followed Li Xuan to a mountain range, and as she saw Li Xuan stop, she immediately asked.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Like you, I had a feeling."
Li Xuan wouldn't tell Chen Chen that he had heard the Seven-Colored Bird; that would reveal too much.
"Then, what are your plans next?" Chen Chen was somewhat speechless, but she also knew Li Xuan was unwilling to tell her. Since that was the case, Chen Chen didn't ask further and instead looked at Li Xuan and inquired.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Go into seclusion. With my current strength, I can't cross that stone bridge at all."
Chen Chen was stunned. Seclusion at this time?
The Bloodshed Divine Palace only opened once every ten thousand years, and each opening lasted for only half a year. Since entering the Bloodshed Divine Palace, three months had already passed.
And Li Xuan wanted to go into seclusion at this moment?
"Miss Chen Chen, I'll see you in a month," Li Xuan said with a smile.
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, his figure moved and he vanished from his spot. Chen Chen sighed helplessly, finding Li Xuan somewhat unreliable.
However, considering the judgment from her Illusion Heart Divine Art, Chen Chen gritted her teeth and sat down cross-legged.
Since she couldn't cross the stone bridge past the woman in red anyway, she might as well wait for a month. Even if this month was wasted in the end, it would at least let her know if there was a problem with her cultivation.
At this moment, Li Xuan, after leaving Chen Chen, found a cave. After confirming he wasn't being followed, Li Xuan's mind moved and he entered the Town Prison.
"Prison Spirit, wake me up in a month," Li Xuan instructed the Prison Spirit before immediately sitting down.
Cultivation!
Li Xuan knew that his current initial Eternal Realm strength was far too low.
In the next moment, Li Xuan's mind moved, and over a dozen divine swords instantly shot out, encircling him.
Li Xuan took a deep breath, then closed his eyes as the divine swords simultaneously stabbed towards Li Xuan's abdomen.
*Boom!*
A stream of pure sword qi surged into his Dantian, and Li Xuan's aura began to climb at this moment.
Time quietly slipped away, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"This Li Xuan, he didn't run off, did he?" Chen Chen also stood up. A month was too short for a spiritual master. Chen Chen didn't believe Li Xuan could break through in just a month.
Furthermore, even if Li Xuan broke through to the intermediate Eternal Realm, he would still be easily dealt with by the woman in red, right?
At this moment, the more Chen Chen thought about it, the more regretful she felt. She had actually waited foolishly for a month.
"My Illusion Heart Divine Art must have really gone wrong," Chen Chen sighed. She glanced around again before shifting her gaze towards the vast ocean.
"Miss Chen Chen, you're still here?" Just as Chen Chen was about to leave, Li Xuan's voice rang out.
Chen Chen was startled by the sound and then turned to look at Li Xuan.
In the next moment, Chen Chen's expression became solemn.
In one month, Li Xuan had actually advanced from the initial Eternal Realm to the peak Eternal Realm!
"What kind of monster are you?" Chen Chen swallowed and asked Li Xuan. xxs1
Advancing two levels in a month, what monstrous talent!
Li Xuan gave a wry smile and then spoke with spirit and vigor, "Let's go, let's go see the stone bridge."
Chen Chen fell silent for a moment and then said, "It's not that I want to dampen your spirits, but even with your current peak Eternal Realm strength, you probably can't withstand a single finger from that woman in red."
Li Xuan's face immediately darkened.
"However, since you want to go and see, let's go and see. I wonder if anyone has managed to pass in this past month." Seeing Li Xuan's somewhat displeased expression, Chen Chen thought she had discouraged him and spoke.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then his figure moved, and he shot towards the direction of the stone bridge.
Soon, Li Xuan and Chen Chen arrived at the side of the stone bridge. This time, there were more people around the stone bridge than before, and there were quite a few cultivators at the advanced Heavenly End Realm. However, judging by everyone's expressions, they had all failed.
"Eh, it's that kid." Upon Li Xuan and Chen Chen's arrival, someone immediately recognized Li Xuan. And this person was the elder who had accused Li Xuan earlier.
As soon as the elder spoke, he instantly attracted the attention of some people. Even Kai Ji, at this moment, turned his gaze towards Li Xuan.
Clearly, after his failure, Kai Ji also knew that someone had predicted his defeat beforehand. More importantly, according to everyone's words, that person only had initial Eternal Realm cultivation.
But looking at Li Xuan now, Kai Ji was somewhat surprised. In just a month, this fellow had already reached the peak Eternal Realm!
"Young friend, how did you see that I would lose?" Kai Ji did not presume. After all, passing this stone bridge was the most important thing. If he could find out the reason for his failure, it would be a true gain.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "This stone bridge is located above this vast ocean, and crossing this vast ocean will involve encountering sea beast attacks. Clearly, only this stone bridge can be used to pass. But when all of you went up, you all attacked proactively."
"You may not have noticed, but there seem to be no sea beasts near the stone bridge. So the result is obvious, the woman in red's strength must be even higher than those sea beasts. How could the woman who can guard against so many sea beasts be weak?"
Kai Ji and the others frowned. Listening to Li Xuan's words, did that mean no one could pass the stone bridge guarded by the woman in red?
"You just said we all attacked proactively when we went up. Does that mean if we don't attack, the woman in red won't attack us? If that's the case, what is the significance of this stone bridge?" a middle-aged man said with a cold laugh.
"This point, I am only speculating," Li Xuan said frankly.
The middle-aged man sneered and was about to speak when Li Xuan stepped onto the stone bridge.
"Therefore, I want to go up and try."
