Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 289 The King of Angels, the Allied Forces Enter the Capital

Last night, after several days, Li Xijun, feeling refreshed and invigorated, returned to the bathroom of his private villa with practiced ease. With a thought, the button named "Convergence of the Heavens" lit up.

The next moment, in the world of Dasheng, Li Xijun appeared in the familiar streets and alleys of Tianjin.

However, his keen senses immediately picked up on the atmosphere, which was completely different from usual.

An invisible sense of solemnity and tension permeated the air, and the pedestrians hurried by, their former leisurely demeanor gone.

As he strolled along, his mental energy radiated outwards, and his heart sank.

The once bustling and prosperous port of Tianjin, with its forest of masts and numerous merchant ships, has now been replaced by a dense array of steel warships painted with the insignia of various navies.

The fluttering flags were not from one country, but from multiple nations. The cold muzzles of cannons pointed towards the distant sea, and the solemn atmosphere was suffocating.

Further away, near the coastline, he could clearly sense the violent fluctuations of the remaining spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as large areas of scorched black earth that seemed to have been flattened and plowed by a tremendous force, and the traces of broken mountains and rivers. It was clear that a world-shaking battle had taken place there!

"What exactly happened?" Li Xijun frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

He flashed into a fairly popular teahouse on the street, spreading his powerful spiritual energy like an invisible spider web to capture every conversation in the streets, alleys, teahouses, and restaurants.

Soon, the fragmented information came together to form a stream, piecing together the truth of what had happened.

"Alas, the world is becoming more and more turbulent." An old voice sighed. "Who would have thought that those red-haired devils and gold-haired devils' churches would be so arrogant as to come directly to our door?"

"You bet! That scene a month ago was terrifying!" another shrill voice chimed in, still shaken. "I heard it was that Church of the Mechanical God, allied with the Church of the Goddess of Night and some Libra Goddess Church's potion-making monks—a huge group of them, all barging into our Tianjin territory with overwhelming force!"

"Lord Boyan intervened immediately!" someone said with a tone of reverence and indignation. "If it weren't for Lord Boyan stopping them, these barbarians would have committed countless more atrocities."

"We managed to stop them, but—but the opponents are too strong!" A merchant who seemed to know some inside information lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his fear. "I have a distant relative who works in the government office. He told me that the people from the Church of the God of Machines and the Church of the Goddess of Night have sent two Angel Kings! Angel Kings! They're legendary beings who are almost as powerful as gods!"

"Almost like a god? Hiss—"

"That's right! I heard he's much more powerful than that second son of the God of Light, Hong Tianwang, who was killed by that True Lord Li in the southeast!"

"Back then, on the coast outside the city, the Angel King himself said that Boyan Gong was a powerful being at the first level of the Thunder Tribulation, which he admired. However, although Boyan Gong's first level of the Thunder Tribulation was comparable to an Angel King, he couldn't fight against so many opponents. His opponents were two Angel Kings, plus an ordinary angel!"

"That battle was so fierce that the sky darkened and the sun and moon were obscured! Do you see that flat land outside the city? It used to have mountains and rivers! Now—it's all gone!"

"Bo Yan Gong was ultimately defeated—"

"However, I heard that the people from the Church of the God of Machines didn't kill him, saying something like 'for the sake of the God of Machines' oracle,' and after defeating Boyan Gong, they went straight to the imperial palace in the capital."

"Not just them! Many envoys from Western countries also went to the capital. They talked about 'all nations coming to pay tribute,' congratulating the old emperor on his 'grand tomb completion ceremony.' Bah! I think they're all like weasels offering New Year's greetings to chickens—they're all up to no good!"

Listening to these comments filled with anger, helplessness, and worry, Li Xijun's face remained calm, but a cold glint flashed deep in her eyes.

Without pausing, he vanished from the teahouse in a flash and appeared directly outside Li Boyan's familiar residence.

This time, he sensed that Li Boyan's aura was not in the lakeside pavilion where he usually sat, but deep within the mansion, and that his aura was dim and unstable, with obvious weakness.

Li Xijun went straight inside and came to the quiet room in the backyard. As soon as he pushed open the door, he smelled a strong aroma of medicinal soup.

Li Boyan sat weakly on the soft couch, his face pale and his breath feeble, while Old Master Zhang Fuhu stood guard beside him with a worried expression.

Zhang Fuhu was holding a small green jade bottle in his hand. The bottle was slightly open, emitting a faint life force. It was the few drops of life essence that Li Xijun had given him.

"Boyan Gong, you should give it a try. This was given to you by Xijun. It has miraculous healing effects," Zhang Fuhu advised.

Li Boyan slowly waved his hand, his voice hoarse and weary: "General, I appreciate your kindness. But while this life essence is a treasure for healing physical injuries, it is useless to me."

He paused, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "My injury this time was not a physical injury, but a severe blow to my mind from the combined attack of those two angel kings, nearly shattering it. Ordinary medicines, and even this divine medicine specifically for treating the physical body, are insufficient to address the root cause."

"There may be many ways in the world to repair the heart and heal such wounds, but for us, there is only one truly feasible thing—"

Just then, Li Xijun stepped into the room and replied in a clear and firm voice:

"Lord Boyan, I still have a lot of the wishes of sentient beings here, which can help you recover from your mental injuries."

Li Boyan and Zhang Fuhu simultaneously looked at Li Xijun, who had suddenly appeared.

"hope Jun, you're here!" Zhang Fuhu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was well aware of his disciple's abilities; Li Xijun had saved him from near-death injuries, both physically and spiritually.

Now that Li Xijun has spoken, Li Boyan's heart injury must be fine.

Li Boyan snapped out of his reverie, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes, but he immediately shook his head in refusal.

"No! hope Jun, I understand your intentions. But the power of the wishes of all beings is so precious. You have achieved so much at such a young age. When you break through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm or even higher levels in the future, you will need the blessing of the power of wishes."

"Moreover, you bear the weight of power, which requires the collective will and blessings of countless beings. How could you possibly squander your precious resources for my old and frail body? Absolutely not!"

"Lord Boyan, my mind is made up about this matter."

Li Xijun's tone left no room for doubt: "Since embarking on the path of cultivation, I have been guided by Boyan Gong all the way. What are the mere wishes of sentient beings compared to that?"

Li Xijun considers himself a grateful person.

Back then, his strength was weak, and he relied entirely on the few books he bought to cultivate the Divine Refining System. He obtained the better cultivation techniques by fighting back, and he suffered a lot as a rogue cultivator.

His subsequent smooth progress in refining his spirit realm was largely due to Li Boyan's care and guidance, a kindness he always remembered.

However, Li Boyan was already a Tribulation-level cultivator with a prestigious status, and since he lacked the strength to repay him, he had no way to do so.

But things are different now!

He had just returned from the main world, and his sea of ​​consciousness contained a vast amount of high-quality aspirations from all living beings, gathered from winning the championship and receiving the medal.

Having experienced this countless times, Li Xijun knew very well that these vows had an unparalleled and miraculous effect on repairing the mind's essence, enough to help Li Boyan heal his injuries, re-condense his mind's essence, and even increase its strength to a higher level.

After saying that, he didn't say anything more. He walked directly to the bedside, stretched out a finger, and pointed it at Li Boyan's brow.

In an instant, a pure, vast, warm torrent of golden power of vows, containing countless devout beliefs and blessings, surged into Li Boyan's nearly depleted sea of ​​consciousness like a bursting dam!

The quality of this willpower was terrifyingly high, far exceeding Li Boyan's imagination.

It contains not only the pure will power gathered from the global national competition of the main world, which transcends national borders and races, but also the will power of the people of Great Xia for their own genius, the future Martial Saint, with countless care, expectations and love. Its essence is extremely high and its effect is immediate!

Wherever the power of his vows passed, Li Boyan's heart, which was full of cracks, dull and almost collapsing, began to repair, mend and shine brightly again at a speed visible to the naked eye, like rain after a long drought.

In the blink of an eye, Li Boyan's listless aura quickly became strong, and his pale face regained its rosy hue.

Moreover, nourished by this high-quality willpower, Li Boyan's mind not only recovered to its original state, but also faintly exuded a mysterious artistic conception of destruction and reconstruction, and further progress, as if he had reached the limit of his current realm.

Li Boyan closed his eyes tightly, focusing all his efforts on guiding and absorbing this immense power of will, while his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He was amazed that Li Xijun possessed such a large number of high-quality wishes from all living beings, which could not be explained by ordinary chance. This boy must have a shocking secret.

But he wasn't one to pry, and he would keep this kindness and secret buried deep in his heart.

As the transmission of the willpower gradually ceased, Li Boyan's injuries were fully healed, and his cultivation even made further progress.

He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Li Xijun with a complex expression, before finally letting out a long sigh: "Xijun, you—"

Ah, I accept this favor.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, his eyes narrowed sharply, and he looked at Li Xijun with an incredulous expression:

"Just now, when you transmitted your vow, I sensed that within your heart's image, there was already a certain amount of yang energy flowing on its surface?"

"Furthermore, the strength and refinement of your mental image have already—have completely met the requirements, even surpassed the threshold needed to break through to the first level of the lightning tribulation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fuhu, who was already shocked by Li Xijun's methods, gasped in astonishment, his eyes widening in disbelief and shock!

"What? Lightning—the first level of lightning tribulation!"

Grandpa Zhang was so excited he was almost incoherent. "hope Jun, you... you've only been at the Manifestation Realm for a short time, and you're already about to become a Tribulation Realm cultivator! This... this—"

Zhang Fuhu's words resonated throughout the room, and Li Boyan was also stunned. He couldn't help but recall the scene when Li Xijun first came to Tianjin and displayed his talent in front of him.

The boy at that time, though exceptionally talented, still had shallow cultivation in his eyes.

It's only been two and a half years.

As if in the blink of an eye, the boy from back then has grown up to be able to stand on equal footing with him, and even surpass him in some aspects.

Looking at Li Xijun, whose aura was profound and whose gaze was calm, he once again exclaimed in genuine amazement, his tone filled with emotion and an indescribable sense of relief:

"I never expected that in just over two years, hope Jun, your progress has truly exceeded all reason and defied all expectations."

"It is truly a great opportunity bestowed upon me by Heaven that I was able to get to know you and have the chance to teach you a thing or two."
