Chapter 439: Exchange for Infant Soul Preservation

However, when all was said and done, it was a wisp of deity soul of God Undercurrent. If it hadn't developed a heart devil because of regret, how could Li Yunmu entice it?

"How could you defeat Ancient God Undercurrent? How would you dare to release me? I don't trust you. Don't take me for your stupid companions. I have far more experience compared to them."

"I will give you some time to think about it. If I have your assistance and one day am able to kill God Undercurrent, then why would I be scared of releasing you so you can complete yourself?"

Li Yunmu raised his head and glanced at the other party from the distance without saying anything more. The next instant, he left the heavenly world and returned to the sacrificial altar. He decided to take some precautions.

Before leaving the heavenly world, he meticulously utilized its power and reinforced the sealing power of Void Disk. He worked until the formidable fluctuations coming from the innately formidable remnant soul were no longer able to pass through the two barriers of heavenly world and Void Disk to sense what was happening in the outside world.

After that Li Yunmu returned to the sacrificial altar where he stood for a long time, silently gazing at the Fifty-Fifth Earth.

After a long while, he sighed faintly. "System, I truly can't return to my homeland now."

[That's why, host, you must continue growing stronger. Trust this, as long as you continue to increase your power and gain absolute strength, then both deities and ancient gods will be nothing but trash in front of you.]

"Seems like we can only take that way and quickly increase my strength," Li Yunmu answered without expressing any specific opinion.

However, his gaze subconsciously floated to the other planes which were also infected by the black mist. There were a total of twelve such planes including his homeland.

Among them, around the plane with the highest concentration of black mist, the green energy signifying the vitality had been overshadowed by the endless black mist. Even if Li Yunmu hadn't visited that place, he could still sense the malicious deathly air radiating off it.

"The forty-sixth plane is hopeless," he said faintly.

It was possibly the future of the Fifty-Fifth Earth, but it also implied that unexpectedly twelve ancient gods from more than ten thousand years ago were roaming among the sixty-six planes.

These ancient gods, what exactly are they thinking?

And these different planes, what sort of existences are they? Why do they attract the ancient gods into leaving the Origin World to enter them?

Also, the ancient gods like God Undercurrent, what sort of price do they have to pay to travel to them and what exactly had they experienced that they only regained their consciousness after two hundred years?

What sort of existence could have suppressed an ancient god to the extent that they would be forced to stay dormant for such a long time?

Apart from the above questions, there were many other unsolved mysteries which Li Yunmu wanted to know about. But all of it was related to God Undercurrent and only he could answer them.

Li Yunmu was confident that even Battle Sage Vega wouldn't know much about a secret of this magnitude

"Seems like there's no way I can return to Earth anytime soon. If I returned now, then be it the recovering God Undercurrent or the quasi deities of Earth, I would be nothing more than a chess piece in front of all of them given my strength...

After gazing into the void for a long time, Li Yunmu calmed his desire to return to Earth.

"System, temporarily stop researching the method to create flux binding pill. What I need right now are space elements."

Li Yunmu suddenly commanded the system to halt its previous research.

[Alright, but researching the method to gather space elements will probably take longer than researching the method to refine a flux binding pill. Given the system's execution speed, it will take from eighty-seven to one hundred and twenty days,] the system replied after some thought.

"This time period cannot be regarded as a long time. Start immediately; the target of research has been changed."

[Yes, the system will immediately carry out the commands.]

The next instant, the progress bar for flux binding pill's research in Li Yunmu's consciousness sea dropped away. The research was stopped at 40% which was the result of the system's work in the past couple days.

That progress bar was substituted by a new one which displayed the progress of researching space elements which would take around eighty days if everything went smoothly or up to four months if any problems arose.

"Well then, it's time for us to leave this place."

Li Yunmu made his decision.

The sacrificial altar in the underground cave had seven open pathways. Four of them were connected to four planes while another two were connected to some unknown worlds which Li Yunmu didn't recognize. As for the last one, Li Yunmu recognized it since it was connected to the Origin World.

Suddenly, Li Yunmu waved his hand. "Now that you are witnessing everything from the sacrificial altar, I wonder what you're thinking?"

"It really is… the legendary sacrificial altar connected to the pathways of heaven."

A sentimental voice came from Li Yunmu's side. Complicated emotions could be heard in it.

"That's right. On top of that, this heavenly bridge in front of us leads right back to our homeland. As long as I step on it, I can complete the lifelong dream of the quasi deities."

Li Yunmu looked indifferently at Ye Qing. No, if being more accurate, he looked at the mortal soul of Ye Qing.

After several months of cultivating Ghost King's Body Refining Secrets, it had gained a lot more substance, and even its voice sounded much firmer in Li Yunmu's mind compared to before.

Clearly, Ghost King's Body Refining Secrets was an extremely suitable technique for such a lifeform. Li Yunmu was convinced that as long as Ye Qing was given some more time, his mortal soul would gain form to the extent of being able to affect the real world.

This meant that it would become an existence which could no longer be neglected by the laws of the world.

"Li Yunmu, I truly have underestimated you many times. Before this, I wasn't willing to be outdone by you, but now I am convinced that your destiny is one of its kind among millions and millions of people. You surprisingly achieved this so quickly."

Ye Qing's mortal soul seemed somewhat sad at that moment.

The time Li Yunmu took to find the sacrificial altar was far less than what anyone could expect. He had discovered it so quickly that Ye Qing was left speechless.

"Do you know what this is?"

Li Yunmu suddenly took out a source manuscript which had Devil Soul Refinement imprinted on it.

Once Ye Qing saw it, his breathing immediately quickened.

"I want Infant Soul Preservation. In exchange, this one and Ghost King's Body Refining Secrets will be yours."

Li Yunmu's expectant gaze fell upon Ye Qing's mortal soul which was a few steps away from becoming corporeal.
