Chapter 281: I Am Invincible
What puzzled Li Fan was that, according to the information he had previously researched, the method of cultivating hidden potential should be restricted by the rules of heaven and earth once reaching a level equivalent to Golden Core.
Cultivation should only become slower and slower.
However, Li Fan did not see any restrictions taking effect on Ye Feipeng, at least not yet.
"Is it because of his demonic beast bloodline? Or perhaps because of the Canghai Pearl?"
Li Fan was somewhat puzzled.
"Perhaps I can find an opportunity to experiment."
Rubbing his chin, Li Fan began to calculate.
...
During the two months when Ye Feipeng's strength surged, Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei had already left the Cong Yun Sea and arrived within the territory of the Jiushan Province, near the border with Shilin Province.
The two of them witnessed the vast expanse of the White Mist Barrier that stretched across the heavens and the earth, deeply shocked.
It was their first time seeing such a spectacle.
They stopped and watched for a long time before continuing towards the ruins of the Chaoyuan Sect in the Jiushan Province.
Impressed by this magnificent scene of nature, Su Xiaomei felt her own insignificance for the first time.
Along the way, she became much more restrained, acting low-key and only hurrying along the road.
This also relieved Zhang Haobo.
This little miss was not easy to take care of, with her irritable temper often causing headaches.
It was her first time going far from home, and she liked to get involved in everything that happened along the way.
When others saw her childish appearance, some couldn't help but tease her.
She couldn't tolerate this at all.
She would get into a fight with others within seconds.
Such incidents had happened several times along the way.
Fortunately, Su Xiaomei was only short-tempered and not foolish.
She only acted when she was sure she could handle the opponent.
If Su Xiaomei got into a fight, Zhang Haobo couldn't just stand by and watch.
He had to join forces to teach the other party a lesson before hastily leaving.
"I hope she can stay calm for a bit longer this time."
Watching Su Xiaomei, who had rarely calmed down, Zhang Haobo sighed inwardly.
However, things rarely went as planned.
After traveling through the Jiushan Province for some time and reaching the first mountain range, Su Xiaomei started to show signs of agitation and reverted to her old ways.
This was because before the first mountain pass through Mount Xixi, there was a barrier set up.
Any cultivator who wanted to pass through had to pay a toll to be allowed passage.
According to the information marked on the map given by Ye Feipeng, each of the nine mountains in the Jiushan Province possessed special properties, and cultivators were unable to fly over them.
Therefore, if they wanted to cross Mount Xixi, they had no choice but to either laboriously climb over the mountains, risking unknown dangers, or take these mountain passes.
The two of them had prepared some spirit stones before setting out.
Furthermore, they had also won some when they fought with others before.
So, they weren't lacking.
However, Su Xiaomei was staring intently at the person ahead who was collecting spirit stones, seemingly plotting something dangerous.
Zhang Haobo's heart suddenly tensed up.
Who would dare to set up tollbooths and collect fees in such a place without some backing?
These people were obviously not easy to mess with.
He quickly pulled her clothes and signaled to Su Xiaomei with his eyes not to cause trouble.
Su Xiaomei gave him a disdainful look and transmitted her voice, "Am I that stupid? Even those Golden Core cultivators are choosing to pay obediently."
"It's just a few spirit stones, why would I rashly cause trouble?"
Zhang Haobo couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Then what are you planning?"
"Hehe, if I don't take the lead, someone else will."
"Look at that person!" Su Xiaomei discreetly pointed towards a certain cultivator ahead.
Zhang Haobo followed her gaze and saw that the person was almost at the point where he had to pay spirit stones.
However...
Zhang Haobo noticed that the person had been wearing a mocking expression on his face.
He was seemingly disdainful of the cultivators who had obediently paid spirit stones before.
"This is going to be interesting."
Excited by the prospect of chaos, Su Xiaomei exclaimed.
Zhang Haobo also became interested.
He knew that Xiaomei's cultivation technique was very sensitive to changes in emotions.
When she said this, it meant that the cultivator would almost certainly come into conflict with the fee-collecting organization.
But what made Zhang Haobo curious was, this person clearly only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, so where did his confidence come from?
Could it be that he was a big shot hiding his cultivation?
Fortunately, Zhang Haobo didn't have to wait long to see.
"One hundred lower grade spirit stones."
The person stood proudly in front of the passageway, not moving for a long time.
The black-robed cultivator in charge of collecting the fees became a little impatient and opened his mouth to urge him.
"No!"
The man snorted coldly and looked disdainfully.
"No? Why are you bothering if you're broke? Get lost!" The black-robed cultivator's eyes narrowed, ready to drive the man away.
However, after seeing the disdainful look in the other's eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked and hesitated.
In the cultivation world, having a keen insight was crucial.
In this chaotic Jiushan Province, who knows how many cultivators have provoked the wrong people and ended up dead.
Looking at the attitude of the person in front of him, if he wasn't brainless...
Then he was probably hiding his cultivation and deliberately causing trouble.
After thinking for a moment, the black-robed cultivator didn't rush to take action.
Instead, he slightly stepped back, creating some distance.
Then, he began to call for backup.
After all, he was just a hired hand.
It wasn't worth fighting desperately for a small reward.
If he couldn't handle it himself, someone else would.
"Wait for me!"
He issued a fierce warning before retreating into the protective formation within the passage.
Soon, four or five cultivators rushed over from inside the passage.
Leading them was a long-haired, sinister-faced Nascent Soul cultivator.
He came to the troublemaker and looked at him with interest.
"You're quite interesting. Since you have no spirit stones, you may leave. What's the point of blocking here? Do you look down on our Spirit Element Sect and think it's easy to bully?"
The sinister-faced man said with a smile, but his eyes were full of killing intent.
Above his head, a peach blossom Dharma Domain suddenly appeared.
Pink petals floated in the wind, and the powerful pressure belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator instantly permeated the surroundings.
Many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators turned pale and trembled under the pressure of the Nascent Soul aura.
But what surprised all the cultivators present was that the Nascent Soul aura seemed to have no effect on the troublemaker.
Instead, he smiled faintly and directly exposed the sinister-faced man's identity, "Shen Yurou, you're still so effeminate."
Shen Yurou's face changed drastically at the words, and the peach blossom paradise above his head suddenly disappeared.
With a solemn expression, he stared at the troublemaker in front of him with vigilance.
"Who are you?"
The troublemaker patted his clothes casually and said somewhat casually, "After changing clothes, you don't recognize me anymore?"
As he spoke, a golden light suddenly appeared on the blue cloth on the man's body.
His clothes turned into shiny golden armor.
Shen Yurou was first stunned, then seemed to remember something and said with horror, "I Am Invincible?"
In an instant, he retreated violently.
After pulling away a considerable distance, he suddenly stopped.
Turning back, he looked back at "I Am Invincible" with a puzzled expression and asked, "Didn't you break through to the Soul Transformation stage? Why are you back to Foundation Establishment?"
"I Am Invincible" shrugged, looking indifferent. "I felt like I made a mistake in my cultivation, so I just started over."
