Extortion

Li Yundong unleashed another blast of shockwave, sending heaps of snow into the airHe had ent Fist mudra, which had blasted the snoay moments after he released the barrier

Most of it anywayNow he still had to wade through quite a bit of snow to get to his backpack, which was—hopefully—still inside that rockLi Yundong sliced his palh the airA thin blade of shockwavea decent ah the snow and slogged forwardAfter a few steps, he stopped to look up at the sky, fearing what he ns of any stor

Or maybe not

None of this made senseZi Yuan said that his divine punishment would come the ns of the Heavenly Thunder since he stepped out of the rockNor did he see any signs of Zi YuanA horrifying thought for his blood into ice

What if he was still inside his Spirit space? What if this was all just an illusion, an iinary world that his personal God had created for himshi+tIt was like he couldn't even tell as real anyLook at the facts

He pulled in a deep breath, then exhaled slowlyOkayFirst of all, he had woken up inside the same rock he'd climbed into before he went into athe sa of omnipotence like he did last timeNor did he have the saners would totally freak out if he didNot that erecting a supernatural barrier to ward off an avalanche wasn't freakish, but he figured that having six arms and three faces would fall on the extreme end of the ”weird” spectruh reasons to believe that none of these were illusions? Well, if this was an illusion, then it could s: one, he hadn't passed the Zhuji phase yet; two, he had failed the Zhuji phase and would forever be trapped inside his Spirit space, living out illusion after illusion

Was there a way to tell for sure that he had passed the Zhuji phase?

His body did feel a lot different nowHe could feel the presence ofofso, inside his lower Dantian, like there was this extra life force inside himWas that because he had a Vital Orb now? Or was that just another illusion that his personal God had conjured up in order to deceive him?

There was no way to tell unless the Heavenly Thunder struck or Zi Yuan suddenly showed up, the very things thatin the first place

This was seriously fcked up

Li Yundong sentwith another shockwaveHe could now see the tip of the rock jutting out from the mountain of snow in front of him

HoorayS punched the air again and again and until the entire rock was revealedHe looked up at the skyStill no Heavenly ThunderAfter a while, he chuckled to himselfAs fcked up as this whole situation was, he couldn't help but find the irony of it a tad a of the Heavenly ThunderAnd now, he was desperately hoping for it to appear

Li Yundong lowered his gaze frohedHe wished Zi Yuan would just show up already

Li Yundong made his way down the mountains once he had retrieved his backpack and checked that the Fan of Seven Treasures was still safely stored insideHe'd decided to stopshi+t doneIf Zi Yuan didn't show up as proo to herhell, he'd run all the way back to Tiannan City if he had to

It did occur to hi Zi Yuan's physical description, but he doubted that it would be ht hiain, he didn't stop and kept walkingThirty minutes, later he arrived at a temple, which lookedhonestFor one, there wasn't actually a temple, just a few shrines and tents that were enclosed by wires covered in ssThe only reason he even called it as a tenboard said so

Li Yundong stopped beside one of the shrines and took out his map and compassHe had just co the co west, where he was granted a clear view of Mount Pumori's snowy peakThere was a hotel and restaurant about half a kilometer from the shrines, but he didn't have the ti studied the hway, he had to pass by Tingri, a small town approximately 70 kiloed at his usual pace, he would reach Tingri in about 6 hoursIt was noon now, so it would be sunset by the time he reached the tohich was perfect
