Chapter 2105: Ocean Races

“I don’t know what went wrong with that immortal medicine. Maybe someone did something to the immortal medicine the Yayu ate, or maybe the immortal medicine they spoke of isn’t the same immortal medicine I was talking about," Mi Li said; she naturally knew about Zu An’s experiences in the secret dungeon. It had been different when her memories were sealed, but now that a portion was unlocked, she immediately realized that something wasn’t right.

“But would the immortal medicine given by the Celestial Emperor really have problems?” Zu An asked in surprise.

“I don’t know about that, but I actually don’t have any memories of that Celestial Emperor either,” Mi Li replied. “The immortal medicines I'm talking about are the ultimate treasures countless powerful beings in the universe are searching for, with every single piece being completely unique. Every single one can bring one back from the brink of death. However, their most famous use isn’t that effect, but rather to grant the most powerful experts a secret chance to redo things again.”

“Redo things?”

“That’s right. Even though those powerful beings throughout the universe are really strong and can live for a really long time, their lives are limited, just like Zhao Han in this world. They also experience conditions similar to heaven and man deterioration, but of course, other civilizations have different ways of referring to that process,” Mi Li patiently explained. “Those powerful beings all have endless karma associated with them, and almost all of them have seized the natural luck and blessings of heaven and earth around themselves. Every single individual who has become this powerful has gone against the heavens, so they naturally receive the backlash of the will of the world as a result. As their age increases, there are more and more karmic consequences. The will of the world rejects them more and more, until they finally hit a critical point at which they head toward complete destruction.

“But if they can obtain an immortal medicine, everything changes. Such immortal medicines can allow these heaven-defying beings to ‘fool’ the will of the world. The will of the world can be convinced that they have already been eliminated and will stop targeting them. Thus, they can start a new life.”

Mi Li paused for a moment, then continued, “These beings retain their intelligence, wisdom, battle experiences, techniques, and other such things. It’s easy to see how much more terrifying they can become if they start over again.”

“These immortal medicines really do seem incredible,” Zu An said. He thought to himself that the reason traveling to a different world was such an absurd concept was because one would have an additional world's worth of life experiences, so one would have all sorts of advantages against the natives of that world. If those powerful beings across the cosmos were allowed to redo their lives, they would definitely have an evven greater advantage than transmigrators.

“That’s indeed the case. That’s why every single immortal medicine is something that the various factions fight over. Whenever one appears, it results in great carnage across many universes.” Mi Li sighed, as if she had recalled some unhappy memories. “Of course, these immortal medicines often have their own sentience. Just like some of those treasures from the very beginning of primal chaos, they also choose their owners.”

“What kind of standard do they use to choose their owners?” Zu An immediately asked.

“If we look throughout history, every owner of these immortal medicines has been the strongest across the universe’s worlds, the type that dominated an entire era,” Mi Li replied.

Zu An was speechless. He exclaimed, “Then like hell I’ll still try to compete against them!”

Even though he was already unrivaled in this world, after fighting against the monsters, he'd realized that there were still many beings stronger than him across the universe. He now knew that this world was one of the weaker ones to begin with. Compared to the other worlds across the universe, their bit of cultivation wasn’t much at all.

“What those immortal medicines care about isn’t only absolute strength, but also potential,” Mi Li said, giving him a deep look. “From the first moment I saw you, when you were beaten like a dog and yet wouldn’t submit, and then you eventually... eventually even defeated me, I knew that you had the heart of the strong, that you would definitely become someone extremely powerful in the future. Now, I've stayed at your side over the years. I’ve seen you defeat enemies far stronger than you, which only further proved my initial prediction.”

“I really love listening to big sis talk; please don’t stop.” Zu An moved closer to her with a mischievous expression.

She smells really good! I wonder just how her body can still give off such a good smell despite being in a soul form?

“Get lost!” Mi Li rolled her eyes. She moved backward a bit before continuing, “That’s why you still have a chance of being chosen by a piece of immortal medicine.”

Zu An put away his smile and asked seriously, “Just how many pieces of immortal medicine are there in the world?”

“Roughly a few dozen. As for how many there are exactly, it’s hard to say,” Mi Li replied.

“That many?” Zu An asked in surprise. He'd thought that since these medicines were all unique, there would only be a few of them.

“Many?” Mi Li sneered while pointing at the night sky. “Do you know how many worlds there are across the cosmos? More than the grains of sand in the ocean! Even if we grouped many worlds that are closer to each other as one world layer, there would be millions and millions of world layers. With so many worlds, do you still feel as if a few dozen immortal medicines are 'many'?”

Now, Zu An was really stunned. He asked, “There are that many worlds?” This was the first time he had realized the scope of the outside world.

Mi Li suddenly sighed. A hint of loneliness appeared in her eyes as she said, “Unfortunately, most worlds have already been destroyed. Even so, the remaining worlds still make up an astronomical number.”

“Who destroyed them?” Zu An asked, stunned. There were so many worlds, and yet more than half of them had already been destroyed?

Mi Li shook her head and said, “I can't tell you that, or else it will bring a disaster unto this world. It would be a calamity far greater than the monsters you just faced.”

After hearing her speak in such a serious manner, Zu An couldn't continue to press the issue. He didn’t think that she would joke around on this topic. There were many beings that were indeed powerful enough to the point that, if they were mentioned even in the most remote of corners, they could still sense it, and unleash their power in retaliation.

“As for the immortal medicines we were talking about, just what kind should I look for? There has to be some direction to work toward, right?” Zu An asked, knowing that Mi Li wouldn’t speak thoughtlessly. Since she had mentioned them, there was definitely a purpose for that.

Sure enough, a bit of praise appeared in Mi Li’s expression. She said, “The immortal medicines across the worlds are too mysterious, and I myself only know around ten or so. If I think about it, the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine might be something you have a chance to obtain.”

“Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine?” Zu An repeated, making sure to remember the name well. “Why is that? This is the first time I’ve heard of this name.”

“The Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine, as the name implies, is related to the Dragon race. It would definitely be born in a world with the Dragon race, and this world just happens to have a Dragon race,” Mi Li replied.

Zu An was a bit stunned. The Dragon race? This world’s Dragon race ruled the Ocean races. He had even killed a giant Gold Dragon, which summoned the Dragon King himself as a result. It seemed as if the Dragon King had withdrawn because of Shang Liuyu, and the matter was left at that.

“Then I need to pay the Ocean races a trip,” Zu An said as he stood up, his eyes full of excitement. With his friendship with Shang Liuyu, as well as his status among the humans and fiends, it was now much easier for him to do anything compared to others.

However, Mi Li dumped cold water straight on his enthusiasm and said, “It’s still too early for you to feel happy. Even though the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine must be born in worlds with a Dragon race, not every world with a Dragon race will have a Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. Who knows how many Dragon races there are across the worlds? And the one here is just one of many, and one of the weaker ones at that.”

Zu An replied seriously, “But didn’t you say that our world is really special? It might just have a chance of producing an immortal medicine. Even if there isn’t one, there’s a chance of them having some clues regarding immortal medicines too.”

Mi Li was a bit surprised. She nodded in praise, saying, “You shift gears quickly. That was exactly what I planned to tell you to make you feel better. That’s right, this world is indeed special, and not even I can figure it out. You might really be able to gain things that you never expected to find.”

“In that case, let’s leave right now,” Zu An said as he got up and walked out of the room. Now that he had some clues in saving Honglei, he didn’t want to waste any time.

Mi Li had a grateful expression.

Even though he is a skirt-chaser, he does treat every woman around him with all of his sincerity.

...

Meanwhile, in the human capital, inside the empress dowager's personal palace, the two brothers Imperial Uncle Liu Guang and Liu Yao were looking at the beautiful woman in the seat of honor with a confused expression. They asked, “What is the reason for the empress dowager calling us into the palace so urgently?”
