Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 986: Chapter 124: Traveling the Universe with Liuli (2-in-1)_2

She clasped her hands before her chest and suddenly formed a strange Daoist formula.

This hand gesture was part of a Daoist spellcasting ritual, with less than a hundred variations, but the Daoist formula Shi Liuli used was one Luo Yan had never seen before.

All of a sudden, the stars behind them seemed to tremble, their surfaces erupting into a fiery torrent that burst forth to a height hundreds of times greater than before.

Shi Liuli quickly thrust her hands out, and from her palms surged a massive pillar of light that swept across the sea of Heavenly Demons in front of them.

Instantly, a vast area in the ocean formed by Heavenly Demons was vacated.

Luo Yan: ???

Wait, what just happened?

He pondered silently, thinking that even if he used the Thunder Method aimed at Heavenly Demons, it would at most only clear away hundreds or thousands.

Because, although the Heavenly Demons seemed densely packed from afar, a brief scan with the Kunlun Mirror would reveal considerable distance between each one, making a large-scale spell somewhat limited in effect.

Yet Shi Liuli’s light pillar spell, narrow in diameter but vast in range, seemed to diminish the ocean of demons considerably.

With just a sweep from her hands, the light pillar covered a thirty-degree arc, incinerating the countless Heavenly Demons caught within its path.

“What spell is that?” Luo Yan couldn’t help but ask in astonishment.

“Little Starlight Array.” Shi Liuli replied.

Luo Yan: …

The so-called “Little Starlight Array” was the most basic derivative spell from the “Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record,” akin to the “Universal Pure Tone Minor Illumination Technique” from the “Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra,” designed to emit a beam of light for basic illumination and warding off evil.

Recalling the enormous light pillar just now, Luo Yan fell into a peculiar silence, inwardly exclaiming:

“No way? Could the augmentation from the Stellar Force be this terrifying?”

“If she cast a spell on me, wouldn’t I just explode on the spot?”

“Wake up.” The Summoning Sword couldn’t stand it and reminded him, “With my augmentation back then, didn’t you even cleave the Emei Golden Summit?”

“In essence, it’s not that Shi Liuli’s power is overwhelming, but that the energy of the stars themselves is vast. She’s only using a ten-thousandth, and it unleashes limitless might.”

Luo Yan remained silent for a long time, then asked the Kunlun Mirror:

“Is it still time for me to switch cultivation to the ‘Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record’?”

“Switch cultivation?” the Kunlun Mirror was puzzled, “Why would you want to switch?”

“Obviously because it’s more powerful,” Luo Yan replied seriously, “If I strive to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, learning a secret technique that utilizes Stellar Force, should a demon head attack me on the way, I could simply run to the nearest star and blast those demon heads away with the secret technique, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

“You’re really dreaming.” The Kunlun Mirror mocked him, “This Stellar Secret Technique is indeed powerful near stars, but the number of Heavenly Demons is virtually infinite. Even if your spell’s power increases a hundredfold, its range a thousandfold, it’s impossible to slay them all.”

As if to validate its words, the space cleared by Shi Liuli’s light pillar was instantly filled by more demon heads.

All the outer world demon heads seemed enraged, pressing towards the two like a black tide.

Shi Liuli remained unflustered, continuously releasing the light pillar, sweeping it back and forth around her, blasting the advancing Heavenly Demon hordes.

Luo Yan provided support, using Five Elements Divine Light on any that slipped through the gaps of the light pillar’s sweep.

These demon heads were low in cultivation level; whether caught in the Starlight Pillar or the Five Elements Divine Light, they were all annihilated, leaving no trace.

However, the light pillar covered a larger area, had a higher kill efficiency, and consumed less True Yuan, making Luo Yan feel that his Five Elements Divine Light was like using a cannon to swat flies. Thus, he didn’t bother using Daoist Magic, opting to take wide-area magical treasures out of his Baibao Bag instead, attacking all around chaotically.

Thus, several days passed, and the number of Heavenly Demons didn’t decrease, while Shi Liuli began to run low on True Yuan.

“Misjudged.” She said with a hint of regret, “It seems we’re trapped here.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Luo Yan comforted her, “If we were still near the Heavenly Sphere without the augmentation of Stellar Force, with your original strength, we’d be eliminated not long after the incense stick burned.”

“I’m not that weak…” Shi Liuli protested weakly for a moment and continued, “If we don’t leave now, we’ll be trapped and exhausted here.”

“But if we attempt to move, just leaving the range of the star’s influence, my combat power will plummet, making things even more difficult.”

“It’s okay,” Luo Yan reassured her with a smile, “I’ll think of a plan. You just follow me and run.”

Shi Liuli fell silent, continuing to perform Daoist Magic with her right hand, while with her left hand, she flung out a copper coin like lightning, casting a hexagram.

Only then did she nod and agree:

“Then let’s move to… that star over there.”

Shi Liuli led the way with sword control, and Luo Yan swiftly followed.

The two fought and retreated, rushing towards another distant star, the demon heads swarming recklessly, like flies drawn to a stench, as they sensed the two trying to escape.

As they distanced themselves from the star, the diameter of the light pillar in Shi Liuli’s hand rapidly diminished. Once, where it could annihilate Heavenly Demons, could now only maim their bodies, and its power decreased significantly.

But Luo Yan’s Innate Five Elements Divine Light greatly increased in both power and range, compensating for the areas the light pillar couldn’t cover.

This Chaotic Galaxy, an environment of the Water Element, was extremely shady and cold, suiting the Heavenly Demons perfectly.

Luo Yan utilized the Five Elements Generation technique, transforming all the Water Element into Fire Element, flipping from extreme cold to extreme heat, instantly boiling the expanse of the celestial river, like an impassable barrier, blocking a substantial number of Heavenly Demons outside.

Finally, they reached the vicinity of the second star. This star was larger than the last, a blinding and searing pure white, its heat and energy far surpassing the previous star.

Shi Liuli cast her spell once again, and this time the diameter of the light pillar indeed surged thousands of times, effortlessly annihilating numerous demon heads… So much so that the replacements couldn’t keep up with the pace of annihilation, causing even the demon heads at the rear to hesitate.

The creatures weren’t afraid to die, but they didn’t like to die in vain. At this pace, no matter how many charged forward, they were all lambs to the slaughter. Why should they continue advancing?

Soon after, most of the Heavenly Demons fled cleanly, leaving only a few unwilling stragglers to sneak and hover from a distance.

Having repelled the first wave of the demon heads’ assault, Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something with a smile when Shi Liuli suddenly spoke:

“We need to leave quickly.”

“Away from the Heavenly Sphere, with each higher layer of the heavens, the ferocity of the Heavenly Demons intensifies.”

“These demons are not retreating for real; they’re going to get reinforcements, seeking even stronger demons to come after us!”

“Right!” Hearing Shi Liuli’s words, Luo Yan quickly realized, “We do need to leave soon.”

He glanced at the faint shadows in the distance and said:

“If we don’t get rid of these tails, wherever we run, they’ll follow us relentlessly.”

“The universe is vast,” Shi Liuli sighed, “The Heavenly Demons are fast. If you approach them, they flee further; if you leave, they return. How can you slay them all?”

“If there was an Illusion Technique to cloak our presence, it might work, but I’m really not skilled at illusions…”

Stopping to think, Shi Liuli quietly revisited the items in the Heavenly Craft Baibao Bag, but seemed to find nothing sufficiently powerful for illusions.

Luo Yan’s mind raced, and he suddenly called out:

“Ah Jing?”
