Otherworldly-Cultivator

A large battle unfolded in one of the Illusory Forest's areas, causing chaos as the battle split many large trees in two and left dozens of beast corpses strewn about. Chen Li, who was in his humanoid dragon form, was holding his golden sword and repeatedly used several techniques from the sword origin technique. However, he didn't summon his battle puppet because the beasts were in the Earth Realm, and his battle puppet was only able to deal with opponents in the Soul Realm. Even so, he didn't fight alone because the blood-eater sword kept flying around him, and it looked eager to kill their enemies while sucking their blood.

On top of a large tree, Xiao Shijian sat alone, continuing to watch Chen Li. A sweet smile adorned her childish yet pretty face, and she was satisfied with him.

'The current him is much more deadly and fierce after getting Emperor Long's memories, and he will probably be even more deadly after he regains Hermit Long's memories, which won't be long. If he had obtained all his soul techniques, then his enemies would tremble before him, especially since his soul was much stronger than theirs. Despite his soul cultivation being at the level of an infant soul, he has undergone multiple reincarnations, so he could destroy their souls. Xiao Shijian then looked far away before shaking his head. 'Gu Ya will arrive in the southern region in three days, but unfortunately he still doesn't realize that that region will be the site of his death, and he will suffer first before he goes to the afterlife.'

Xiao Shijian suddenly saw Chen Li flying into the air with the golden sword in his left hand and the blood-eater sword in his right hand, both of which were enveloped by his sword qi. He then swooped down, swung his two swords, and shouted quite loudly. "Seventh Move - Sword Slam!"

*Bam... Bam...*

Chen Li's attack slammed the ground, causing two huge explosions to resound throughout the forest and forming two craters in the ground. Instantly, a notification appeared in his mind as the quest was completed, and he immediately returned to his human form.

[Quest: Become Strong VIII: Killing a Hundred Beasts in the Earth Realm.]

[Status: Accomplished]

[Reward: Battle Package VIII x1]

Even though he had completed the quest, Chen Li seemed dissatisfied because his technique attack just now was too weak compared to the effect of Xiao Jianyi's attack when he used the same technique, especially since he had not yet reached the sword manifestation level, so the power of the technique was not yet optimal.

[You obtained Earth Grade Spirit Tree - x1]

"Hmm?" After opening the rewards, Chen Li was momentarily taken aback, particularly because he could immediately recognize the tree. He hurriedly took it from the storage system—a small tree resembling a banyan with purple leaves. "Back then, I gave this item to Song Tianyi so he could increase his soul strength, but he didn't use it and kept it for so long."

"Haha." Xiao Shijian laughed softly as she floated down before sitting on Chen Li's shoulders. "Did you forget about the spirit of the soul? Xiao Hun helped Song Tianyi increase his soul power several times, so he didn't need to use this item to do that. Fortunately, he didn't give it to anyone else and kept it, so you can use it now to raise your soul to adolescent level, and your soul level will increase faster as this tree grows bigger."

"I see." Chen Li nodded in understanding and pressed one part of the tree before injecting his qi into it. The tree then glowed purple, entered his body through his chest, and merged with his soul. However, his expression looked a little strange as a significant change occurred in his soul, so he immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Xiao Shijian, who saw that, immediately sat cross-legged in front of Chen Li, and she pressed her palm against his chest. "Concentrate; I will help your soul break through to the second stage."

After some time, Chen Li's expression was calmer, and two consecutive notifications immediately appeared in his mind.

[Ding]

[Your single soul technique has reached the second stage.]

.

.

.

[Ding]

[Your soul successfully broke through to the early stage of adolescence.]

After that, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately checked inside his body and discovered the roots of the Soul Tree were wrapping around his soul, and it was using his soul power to grow up.

"How do you feel after your soul becomes an adolescent soul?" Instead, Chen Li pushed her down and kissed her lips directly, and Xiao Shijian willingly kissed him back while wrapping her arms around his neck. Even so, they kissed, but not for too long because he separated their lips, and he looked at her with a tender gaze while rubbing her cheeks. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to eat me now?"

"Yeah." Chen Li shamelessly admitted it. "Your three forms always tempt me to eat you, you know? Even so, I won't do it now, and I will eat you in the future after my cultivation reaches the immortal realms."

Xiao Shijian immediately reversed their positions, sitting on top of Chen Li's lower body and looking at him with a playful expression. She then opened his upper garment and twirled his fingers around his bare chest. "You may still not be able to remember everything now, but you are the only man who has seen my naked body many times, especially since I was always naked in the past, and we were never separated from each other. Unfortunately, you were a golden dragon way back in the past, so we couldn't possibly do such a thing, or else I would have died a long time ago, especially since your dick is ridiculously big and long."

Following that, Xiao Shijian flicked his little finger, causing their clothes to vanish as though time had swallowed them, leaving their bodies nude.

Chen Li gulped hard when he saw Xiao Shijian's smooth white skin, which was much whiter than anything. Her massive breasts tempted him to squeeze them.

Xiao Shijian smiled and lifted both of Chen Li's hands before placing them on her breasts. She also helped him squeeze them, causing his dick to instantly reach peak erection.

Since he had obtained Emperor Long's memories, Chen Li naturally remembered Xiao Shijian's naughtiness and flirtatiousness, and she repeatedly toyed with him using her seduction. "Do you still want to play with me again?"

"Haha." Xiao Shijian laughed as she understood the meaning behind Chen Li's words. "Even though Emperor Long is one of Long Wang's reincarnations, I don't have feelings for him, so I was just toying with him. However, you are different, and you will end my billions of years of waiting because you will be able to become whole again in the future."

Chen Li let out a heavy sigh and shifted Xiao Shijian from above. He then stood up before taking out his spare clothes and putting them on. "Shijian, I am grateful to have you by my side, but your words made me realize that you only love the ancient Long Wang. Perhaps you are right that I am one of his reincarnations, and I might be able to become whole again in the future. However, the current me is not him, and I will never be him, so I hope you can treat me as myself and not him."

After he said that, Chen Li disappeared from Xiao Shijian's sight, making her sigh heavily as she realized her own mistake. 'Your words are true, old friend. Even though you can become whole again in the future, you are no longer him, and you are still a new individual.'

After that, Xiao Shijian snapped his fingers again, causing her dress, which had previously disappeared, to appear and cover her body again, and she immediately caught up with Chen Li.

When he returned to their camping area, Chen Li only found Feng Xian'er playing with their twins, so he immediately sat beside her and teased the twins. Even though they are still small, they are mythical beasts, so the air in the forest has no effect on them, and their mother also keeps them warm.

Feng Xian'er raised her eyebrows for a moment before her eyes turned crimson, and she noticed the sadness in Chen Li's heart, but she chose not to comment on it. "How long do you plan to train in this forest, hubby?"

"At first, I wanted to train in this forest for three days, but I changed my mind, and we will train here for a week." Chen Li replied, taking Feng Yan'er from her mother's hand and teasing her more. "Moreover, we rarely gather after almost all of us joined the sects, so we can gather while practicing here."

Feng Xian'er agreed with that. "Anyway, Victoria and the Long Sisters have been in seclusion for too long, so you could ask them to come out first, and they could hang out with us."

Chen Li followed his wife's wishes, and he took the three women out of the Tianyi Realm by force, much to Victoria's annoyance. However, Feng Xian'er immediately persuaded her, and she finally agreed to gather with them.
