"Little Zong has been subtly obsessive since his brother's death, single-mindedly searching for any means to strengthen himself. His progress is faster than we imagined," said Xindela.

"I'll keep an eye on him. Don't worry," Li Cheng Yi heard what his boss meant.

"That's good. Also, Paine is improving rapidly. When are you coming back to take a look? There are already three Dead Enders in the company who have successfully escaped the Dead End because of his Flash guidance. His reputation is slowly starting to spread."

"I know. It's okay, it's better if it spreads," Li Cheng Yi had already regarded Paine as his Flower Language Pearl or Holy Infant candidate.

He was the best core and tool for uniting all the Dead Enders.

"Good that you know," said Xindela.

"By the way, help me collect information on the Ji Wu Lie Zhan Sai (Extreme Martial Fierce Battle Tournament). Someone wants to target me and sent an invitation to my teacher," said Li Cheng Yi.

"What? Are you planning to participate? I suggest there's no need. That kind of tournament is a waste of time for you."

"I naturally don't have time to participate, but someone wants to use this to force me to show up," Li Cheng Yi smiled. "I want to know who it is."

"It's a pity that Miss Rainbow Candy can't invade the Self-Circulating City, otherwise this wouldn't be so passive," Xindela sighed.

"It's okay, there's a first time for everything. I believe that Tangtang will definitely find a way to breach the cyber security of the Self-Circulating City."

"I hope so."

The two said no more. The phone hung up.

Li Cheng Yi took off his glasses and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Wandering around the city satisfied some of his curiosity. Now it was time for serious business.

Investigating the location of the Temple of Depravity was his true core mission.

According to the information collected this time, Chaoyu has the largest data library in Yi Country to date.

The database is stored electronically, and an entire electronic virtual library has been built for interested people to visit.

One of Li Cheng Yi's goals in coming to Chaoyu this time was to enter the Chaoyu Electronic Library and search for clues about the Blue Book and the Temple of Depravity.

The Ji Wu Lie Zhan Sai (Extreme Martial Fierce Battle Tournament) was still more than half a month away, and that was plenty of time for him to do many things.

After finishing breakfast and paying the bill, Li Cheng Yi hailed a taxi on the roadside and went straight to the Chaoyu Electronic Library.

The Flower Language Technique must wait until the previous part is completely cultivated before the next level can be opened, so even if he absorbs Flower Qi and evil thoughts now to evolve to the next level, he wouldn't meet the conditions for obtaining the new technique.

Since that was the case, instead of wasting time, he should seize the time to investigate the clues.

The value of the Blue Book had exceeded the expectations of everyone on the team since the last time the Crescent Moon appeared; it was higher than they imagined.

One Crescent Moon was worth one life. If they could truly find the prototype of the Blue Book, that is, the legendary Book of Eternal Wishes, maybe they could rely on it to completely escape the Dead End forever.

Getting rid of the Dead End was the ultimate goal of Li Cheng Yi and all the members of the team.

Soon, the car flew through the air for more than ten minutes and arrived in front of a sharp blue building that moved like a castle.

This was the Chaoyu Electronic Library.

From the outside, it looked like an upright pipe organ, with rows of sharp pipes towering into the sky, all in a beautiful blue-black color.

There were four underground entrances around the building, similar to subway entrances. They were marked with the characters for East, South, West, and North.

Li Cheng Yi got out of the car, paid, and quickly chose an entrance to enter.

Time passed slowly.

More than ten hours passed until dusk.

Li Cheng Yi frowned and walked out of the library, exiting from the north entrance.

He couldn't find anything.

All the information about the Blue Book and the Temple of Depravity were either game terms or entries related to anime, movies, and TV series.

And there was nothing about the Dead End at all.

Because the library used information physical isolation island technology, which was equivalent to a huge hard drive with no connection to the outside world, no hacker could hack into it.

Not to mention that Rainbow Candy couldn't even enter Chaoyu's Silent Fortress.

There were too many technically advanced security consultants and top-level giant supercomputers with computing power far exceeding Yueji.

Even if Rainbow Candy was strong, she couldn't compete against so many experts on her own.

'I must think of a way... The government definitely has information about the Dead End. Even if they haven't been proactive for so many years, there should be a lot of information accumulated. The key is how to get this information.'

Li Cheng Yi knew that the government also had a research institution dedicated to the Dead End.

He had just checked that the name of this institution was the Yi Country Secret Security Department. It was a special department dedicated to the integrated investigation, exploration, and research of the Dead End.

Although it was also a special department, what was strange about the Secret Security Department was that their power was not great, but their confidentiality level was extremely high.

'The fastest way to obtain information is to find someone with sufficiently high authority to search official information on my behalf,' a thought flashed through Li Cheng Yi's mind.

As for what method to use to obtain information after finding someone...

A new Flower Language Pearl slowly emerged in Li Cheng Yi's hand.

After opening a new Flower God position, another Flower Language Pearl could be differentiated. It was just the right time to find a suitable high-level domestic candidate to act as a spokesperson.

'It's best to find someone with high enough authority to freely borrow the power of the National Secret Security Department.'

Walking out of the library, he sat down in a rice noodle shop nearby and ordered a bowl of spicy and sour beef tongue rice noodles.

He had just sat down for a few minutes.

Suddenly, a subtle coolness surged into his heart, making his mind, which had been searching a large amount of information, feel refreshed.

At the same time, his skin, flesh, and bones all began to emit a subtle tingling sensation.

Li Cheng Yi quickly checked the Evil Flower.

Sure enough, he saw a new line of writing appearing after the Flower Language of the Purple Petite Flower.

'Flower Language Technique progress synchronizing'

'So fast... It seems she's right, her will is indeed good.'

It just so happened that he wasn't familiar with Chaoyu and needed a local to help him introduce and search for information.

*

In a luxurious manor in Chaoyu.

On the lawn of tens of thousands of square meters, Da Zhuang (Big Strong) Li Chongnan lay on her back in the grass, covered in sweat.

Just now, she strictly followed the steps of the Holy Spirit Technique and performed a purification, trance, and touch of her own essence.

She had also prepared potent hallucinogenic incense for this.

The result...

After she withstood the continuous intrusion of the hallucinogenic incense, that seemingly ordinary cultivation method actually underwent a strange change under the mysterious Holy Spirit Technique words in her mind.

The Holy Spirit Technique words that she had memorized before were like countless black insects emerging from her entire body in her consciousness.

At that time, she couldn't control herself, and a strong fear surged in her consciousness.

But the prompt in the Holy Spirit Technique kept her steady, not giving up, but gritting her teeth and persevering.

A full hour.

Da Zhuang just lay on the grass, motionless.

The servants in the distance thought she was just asleep. They also quietly adjusted the humidity of the grass and the surrounding wind speed and temperature for her.

Until now, an hour later.

She had finally persevered...

Slowly sitting up.

Da Zhuang raised her hand and looked at her arm.

Her originally fair and chubby skin was now covered with seeping sweat and oil droplets.

Her hands, which were as thick as pig trotters before, were now obviously thinner.

'The effect is so good!?' She was a little shocked.

Slowly getting up from the grass.

The long clothes and trousers on her body suddenly fell down, but she grabbed them in time to prevent herself from running around naked.

"I've lost so much weight!?" Da Zhuang was shocked.

This was faster than liposuction!

And she clearly felt that her whole body was full of strength than before.

This feeling of fullness throughout her body was like her whole person had changed into a new body, wearing the most advanced exoskeleton assistance device.

Thinking of this, Da Zhuang couldn't wait to see what she looked like now.

Immediately, she quickly jogged towards a small building on the right side of the manor. That was her exclusive building. It had three floors in total.

The second floor was a dedicated activity space, where many of her sundries were piled up.

Rushing to the second floor in one breath, Da Zhuang quickly took off her wet clothes and rushed into the bathroom, looking at herself in the large mirror.

Hiss...!

The her in the mirror, although still as strong as before, could already see obvious curves in her measurements.

And this was only her first time cultivating!

"Too strong!!"

Da Zhuang was shocked as she touched herself in the mirror. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she dared to look in the mirror.

Since deciding to stay low-profile, eating and drinking to uglify herself, she had never paid attention to her appearance and dress.

But now...

Buzz...

Suddenly, a fly flew in from the window and circled her.

Da Zhuang was still in shock and waved her hand casually.

Chī!

After an extremely subtle soft sound.

The fly split into two and fell on the washstand in front of her.

"!?"

'What the hell!?' She looked at the fallen fly with a dumbfounded expression.

Just now, she clearly didn't touch anything...

Suddenly, Da Zhuang quickly recalled the content in the Holy Spirit Technique.

'The technique is divided into seven layers. Initially, it is necessary to build a foundation with Holy Words. After the foundation is built, a trace of pure Holy Intent will be obtained, and the wisdom sword in the heart will be transformed into substance.'

'The wisdom sword gives birth to all pure thoughts. After the foundation is built, each layer is the process of continuously strengthening the wisdom sword, so that it diligently cuts off distracting thoughts and absorbs the essence of the heart nature every day.'

'Each of the seven layers of techniques will comprehensively strengthen the physical consciousness, of which the strengthening of consciousness is extremely great, and the physical limits are opened simultaneously.

In this process, a large amount of external force must be used to forcibly improve the physical strength in order to maintain a state of balance between body and mind.'

This was why the Holy Spirit Technique required a large amount of resources.

Expensive hallucinogenic drugs, massive physical strengthening resources, these all required money and status to continue to obtain.

And Da Zhuang, undoubtedly, had obtained this opportunity.

Looking at herself in the mirror, who vaguely already had a trace of beauty, Da Zhuang's unease about the Holy Spirit Technique completely disappeared at this moment.

She knew that the time when she truly controlled her destiny had arrived...

Just then, a faint music sound rang beside her hand.

It was her phone.

Da Zhuang quickly picked it up and took a look, and her expression immediately changed slightly, and she immediately pressed to answer.

"Da Zhuang, my sister is a little tight on money recently. Is your monthly allowance still unused? Can you lend me a million? I'll pay you back when the allowance is issued next month."

It was her cousin, Li Chong'en.

As one of the great noble families in Chaoyu, the Li family itself had many children.

As a branch family, although she was not the main family, her father was very capable and earned a lot of wealth for the family, so her monthly allowance was not worse than that of ordinary main family children.

Because of being low-profile, having no talent, no ability, and not wanting to cause trouble for her father, Da Zhuang Li Chongnan had always swallowed her anger, even if people came to borrow money, she had always been a good person, lending whatever she could.

Because of this, many main family children would come to her to borrow money when they were short of money, saying it was borrowing, but in fact it was freeloading, and it was impossible to pay it back.

In the past, Da Zhuang would definitely have agreed without saying a word.

But now, she was practicing the Holy Spirit Technique and needed a lot of money.

"Sorry, Sister En, I'm not flush this month either..."

The strangeness and mystery of the Holy Spirit Technique gave her great hope. She wanted to break free from the shackles and gain freedom. Perhaps this was the only path!

It was fine if she hadn't seen hope before, but now she had the only hope.

She absolutely, absolutely would not allow anyone to hinder her progress!

She had endured for more than ten years, and now... she had had enough!!

Holding her phone, a clear trace of violence flashed silently in Da Zhuang Li Chongnan's eyes.
