He looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "If I find the power of the universe, my signal will appear in the sky, and that will be the time to launch a full-scale counterattack."
In truth, Bai Mei was uncertain whether he could find a suitable weapon.
He wasn't sure if he would be able to find the so-called cosmic power if he ascended to another space.
At this moment, he looked somewhat anxious and said to Li Yao, "Fellow Daoist Li, although you are not one of us from Mount Shu, it is our duty to slay demons and eliminate evil. I hope you can go to Xuantian Sect and eradicate the Blood Demon of Youquan."
This was the main reason he called Li Yao over this time.
He wasn't sure if he could find the power of the universe, nor was he sure if the Xuantian Sect could gain the power of rebirth.
If the three elements cannot be unified, there might still be a glimmer of hope if Li Yao were to step in and help.
Then, he added a word of advice to Xuantian Sect: "Xuantian Sect, if you encounter any major events, you can discuss them with Fellow Daoist Li. Remember, to save Shushan, you must unite the three elements. I'm leaving now."
Then, his entire body surged with magical power, and he shouted: "The vast world is boundless, and righteousness endures forever."
The next moment, his body instantly transformed into countless streams of light and vanished.
At the same time, a barely perceptible glimmer of light blended into these streams of light.
The faint light merged into the flowing light, and instantly surged together.
Then, these streaks of light coalesced into a dazzling meteor, soaring into the sky before disappearing in an instant.
The instant the light disappeared, Li Yao could clearly feel that a small portion of the spiritual energy of Mount Emei had been drained away.
It is evident that the Emei Sect's enduring presence in the world is largely due to the White Eyebrows.
At the same time, Li Yao couldn't help but have some doubts about Bai Mei's eagerness to ascend and leave this world.
Could this old guy be trying to use ascension as an excuse to escape?
Then, a strange smile flashed across his lips.
Just then, Dan Chenzi's voice came from the Nanming Fire: "Master, I feel that the spiritual energy of Mount Emei is weakening here. Is there some trouble on Mount Emei?"
Xuan Tianzong and Li Yao exchanged a glance.
Li Yao smiled slightly and gestured for Xuan Tianzong to imitate Bai Mei's usual tone of voice to deceive Dan Chenzi.
Xuan Tianzong suppressed a laugh and mimicked Bai Mei, saying, "Dan Chenzi, you must have faith in your master. Everything is under my control. The Nether Spring Blood Demon's demonic arts are not yet complete, so he can't cause any trouble. Don't worry, just guard the entrance to the Blood Cave and make sure he doesn't come out. If there is any unusual activity, report it to me immediately. In short, you must have confidence. Evil cannot prevail over good, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Nether Spring Blood Demon!"
After speaking, Xuan Tianzong withdrew the white-browed Dharma form.
Meanwhile, Dan Chenzi on the other side had doubts.
Despite Xuan Tianzong's best efforts to imitate Bai Mei's tone, Dan Chenzi had followed Bai Mei for many years and knew him very well.
He felt that the white-browed Buddha image and the white-browed voice he had just seen and heard were somewhat strange.
After Li Yao and the others from Xuantian Sect comforted Dan Chenzi, they said, "Xuantian Sect, I'll head back now. If you need to contact me, you can have Kui Zhao notify me!"
"knew!"
Xuan Tianzong nodded.
Li Yao left Mount Emei and immediately returned to Wuji Peak.
As soon as he returned, Xiao Bai asked, "Did Bai Mei ascend to heaven just now?"
Given Xiao Bai's cultivation level, it's not surprising that he could sense Bai Mei's ascension.
"good!"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Xiao Bai, I need to leave for a while. You stay here for now."
"where are you going?"
Xiao Bai asked in confusion.
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "Before, when Bai Mei wasn't paying attention, I left a faint trace of my aura on him, and then used it to find the other space that Bai Mei mentioned after ascending to heaven."
"Oh, so that's what you've been planning all along!"
Xiao Bai suddenly realized.
"I just want to know what kind of second space Bai Mei will arrive in after his ascension!"
"Why is it that once you enter this space, you can't return to the human world?"
At this point, Li Yao changed the subject: "However, my real purpose is not this!"
Immediately afterward, he frowned slightly and said, "I'm not going to say anything more. The aura left on Bai Mei is getting weaker and weaker. I'm leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of black mist enveloped him, and with a flash of black light, he vanished instantly.
Chapter 630 The Second Space
The vast sky and the boundless earth stretch endlessly, yet all is desolate.
"Is this the second space?"
Looking at the scene around him, Li Yao was filled with doubt.
He originally thought that the so-called second space in "The Legend of Shushan" should be the Heavenly Realm.
However, following the aura he left on Bai Mei, he used his spatial abilities to arrive here, only to find that this place was nothing like the Heavenly Realm.
Logically speaking, the celestial realm should be rich in spiritual energy, teeming with life, and filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, magnificent palaces, and ethereal fairies.
But the desolate scenery around him gave him the feeling of being in a desert.
The sky was a hazy gray, with wisps of black steam rising from it.
Looking into the distance, all that comes into view is an endless expanse of dark red.
The spiritual energy in the air was extremely thin, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.
There are mountains, lakes, trees, and flowers here.
However, the flowers, plants, and trees here are all bare, as if they have no vitality at all.
Bai Mei, who was not far away, was dumbfounded when he saw such a desolate place.
Like Li Yao, he originally thought that the second space should be a celestial realm with ethereal beauty.
But I never expected this place to be even more desolate than the wilderness!
What's the point of him ascending to such a heavenly realm?
At that moment, he sensed someone behind him and immediately turned around, only to see Li Yao.
"Fellow Daoist Li, what are you doing here?"
"Did you ascend to heaven too?"
Bai Mei was very surprised.
"No, I came here with you!"
Li Yao shook his head.
"How did you follow me here? How come I didn't notice?"
Bai Mei was puzzled.
"I have my own methods, let's not talk about that."
Li Yao changed the subject, asking, "Is this the second space you mentioned?"
"It should be, but here..."
Bai Mei's expression was extremely unpleasant.
He originally thought that after ascending to heaven, he could become an immortal.
I never expected this place to be so desolate, with very little spiritual energy around it, far inferior to Mount Emei.
I should have known better than to ascend!
How can we find the weapon to destroy the Blood Demon of the Nether Spring in such a desolate place?
Most importantly, I had heard that once you ascend to the second dimension, you can never return to the human world.
And in such a godforsaken place, one probably wouldn't last long before going crazy!
"Let's assess the situation first!"
Li Yao leaped into the air, trying to fly, but found that his magical power seemed to be greatly suppressed, making it impossible for him to fly.
He exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on? I can't fly!"
"What?"
Bai Mei was taken aback. He quickly activated his magic power and leaped into the air, only to be shocked to find that he could not fly either.
"What happened?"
"I feel like my magic is being suppressed by some kind of force, and I can't use it at all."
Bai Mei was terrified.
"This space seems rather strange!"
Li Yao began to ponder.
I wonder if my ring storage space will be affected?
Give it a try!
So, on a whim, he used the ring to make a sweeping motion in the air.
A flash of white light appeared, and a huge orange-yellow figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
It is indeed a yellow bird!
"Thankfully, my spatial ability wasn't suppressed!"
Li Yao secretly rejoiced.
As long as the ring space is not suppressed, he can use the spatial abilities of the ring space to leave this place at any time.
"What a huge yellow bird!"
