Chapter 382 - Chapter 382: Chapter 82: News of Li Mingwu (2/2)
So, what seemed perfectly normal to Zhang Jian, appeared abnormal instead.
What kind of person is the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, even if his recovery is slow, he should have mostly recovered by now.
How could he still suffer such severe injuries up to now?
Unless he met other Nascent Soul Cultivators and got seriously injured again in the fight.
Otherwise, there’s just no explanation.
Zhang Jian then said:
“If you want to deal with Dai Mao, I think it’s best to take advantage now, while he’s severely injured, otherwise once he recovers from his injuries, it will be troublesome.”
Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei glanced at each other and then said:
“Wait a moment…”
“We need to prepare for a while, in case of any deceit.”
“You know, Dai Mao is a Demon Cultivator, always full of tricks.”
After hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded:
“Hmm, Brother Lin is right…”
……
Then, Lin Jing asked Zhang Jian again:
“Right, Brother Yan mentioned earlier that you wanted to ask me about Spirit Plants, what did you want to know?”
At this mention, Zhang Jian immediately brightened up and hurriedly said:
“When I came here before, I saw that the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field on this island are growing so well, how did you do it?”
“Honestly, I have a Spirit Field on Xian Yu Island too, but the growth of the Spirit Plants there is somewhat…hard to describe.”
Lin Jing then said with a smile:
“Of course, Spirit Plants need careful maintenance to grow well, you’re always running around every few days, and if you don’t have time to take care of the Spirit Plants in your own Spirit Field, how can they grow well?”
However, Zhang Jian shook his head and then said:
“That’s not it, Brother Lin…”
“If I’m not wrong, there should be someone on this island who is proficient in cultivating Spirit Plants, right?”
Although Zhang Jian had visited Li Yan Island many times, Yue Qiniang was almost always either cultivating or taking care of the Spirit Plants.
She hardly ever stayed long in Li Yan City.
So naturally, Zhang Jian didn’t know Yue Qiniang.
Zhang Jian continued:
“Previously, I visited one of the three major islands, Yue Tian Island, and there, there was a cultivator proficient in Spirit Plants cultivation, who also spent his days wandering about in search of rare Spirit Plants.”
“But the Spirit Plants in his field were growing even better than yours here.”
Hearing about Yue Tian Island, Lin Jing suddenly remembered something.
So he asked Zhang Jian:
“You’ve been to Yue Tian Island?”
Zhang Jian nodded and said:
“Yes, Yue Tian Island is an open island, just like Bihai City, accessible to everyone.”
“How strong is Yue Tian Island?” Lin Jing then asked.
“You came to develop in the Thousand Islands Domain without understanding the local forces beforehand?” Zhang Jian wondered.
Yan Wanfei then said:
“Actually, we haven’t…”
“We ended up on this Li Yan Island by accident, so please tell us…”
Seeing that Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei really didn’t understand the power distribution of the Thousand Islands Domain,
Zhang Jian started explaining:
“The Thousand Islands Domain contains three major islands, each of them almost equivalent to a small piece of land.”
“The strength of these three islands is also the most formidable, each island has a Divine Transformation Cultivator stationed on it, and the Yue Tian Island I just mentioned is one of these three major islands.”
“You just said that Yue Tian Island is an open island, does that mean anyone is allowed on the island?” Yan Wanfei asked at this point.
Zhang Jian nodded and said:
“Right…”
“The Domain has many islands, and some people, after taking possession, do not welcome others and directly close off the island, restricting others from entering.”
“While other islands are different, some cultivators, after taking over an island, do not isolate it but instead invite other cultivators to live together, collaborating to protect the island.”
“That’s what constitutes an open island.”
“Originally, Yue Tian Island was also a private island, but after it was taken over by the former Island Master Li Mingwu, he turned Yue Tian Island into an open island.”
“Li Mingwu?”
Lin Jing suddenly thought of Lingyin True Monarch’s last words.
He then asked Zhang Jian:
“This Li Mingwu you mentioned, is he also a Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator?”
Zhang Jian nodded and said:
“Of course…”
“As the Island Master of Yue Tian Island, one must possess the power of the Divine Transformation Stage to hold authority.”
“Moreover, it is said that Li Mingwu is very kind-hearted, often helping the cultivators on the island, and every time there is a crisis on the island, he is always the first to rush to the front, earning much praise from many people.”
“It’s just unfortunate that, hundreds of years ago, Li Mingwu disappeared, and by now, he has probably long passed away.”
“Dead?” Lin Jing looked surprised.
“Most likely…” Zhang Jian nodded.
“You see, he was already famous 2000 years ago, and passing so much time now without advancing beyond the Spirit Transformation, he couldn’t sustain his lifespan.”
“It was said that for this reason, he spent his last time searching for a breakthrough opportunity.”
“Up till now, hundreds of years have passed, and still, there has been no news of him, so there’s only one outcome.”
“Furthermore, even with the cultivation of the Divine Transformation Stage, not breaking through to Above the Spirit Transformation, 2,000 years are too much for his lifespan.”
“I see…” Lin Jing nodded.
Indeed, Lingyin True Monarch was a figure from 2000 years ago, and Li Mingwu being from the same era, even if he had ascended to the Divine Transformation Stage, his lifespan would still be just over 2000 years.
Not breaking through to the next rank would only lead to the depletion of his lifespan.
In this case, his death seems quite normal.
