#802 - The Saint's Maid
Li Chengfeng was in the special space of Future Maze, which was not governed by the rules of the Three Realms and Five Elements, so he did not need to face the test of thunder tribulation.
However, this also meant that he could not directly advance to the true God Transformation stage unless he could gather other necessary conditions and pass the thunder tribulation at the appropriate time.
Nevertheless, his strength was already terrifyingly abnormal, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm.
Since he had already consumed a huge amount of resources, including the mana of Golden Core cultivators, these could no longer bring him an increase in strength.
In addition, his space had not expanded again, which was obviously restricted by some kind of rule. Unless he could advance to the true Half-Step God Transformation stage, this restriction could not be broken.
However, Li Chengfeng had already made up his mind. Only by advancing to the true God Transformation stage could he have the strength to suppress the entire Immortal Realm and realize his grand ambitions.
So, he began to think about where to find the opportunity to advance.
His mind raced, and he instantly understood. He decided to go to another world, where there was no suppression of rules, but it was also extremely dangerous.
Passing the thunder tribulation there was his only way to advance to the God Transformation stage. However, once he passed the thunder tribulation, he had to return immediately, otherwise, he would probably die.
Although this path was extremely dangerous, Li Chengfeng was determined to take it.
Only in that world could he absorb a large amount of mana and resources to provide enough support for his advancement.
Moreover, even if he returned to the human world after advancing to the God Transformation stage in that world, his strength would still be suppressed to the Half-Step God Transformation stage, but his two major spaces could be increased by a hundred times again, which was a terrifying improvement!
Moreover, in another world, he could also absorb a large amount of mana and resources.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this risk was worth taking, but he was not in a hurry to act, because the Mortal World Refinement of Heart was not yet complete. Only when his Substitute Puppet returned safely would this cultivation be truly completed.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng's Substitute Puppet was exploring in another direction with great satisfaction, having almost visited every corner of the small secret realm.
Suddenly, a valley appeared in front of him. The appearance of this valley was extremely abrupt. The surroundings were full of weeds and shrubs, but in this desolate wilderness, such a vibrant valley suddenly appeared.
The valley exuded a strong fragrance, and flowers bloomed in the sunlight, appearing particularly bright.
Li Chengfeng did not rush to approach but cautiously released several spirit insects as pathfinders.
Although these spirit insects were not as powerful as Reliance on Royal Favor, they had unique detection abilities.
As long as they encountered a toxic environment, they would die immediately because they were extremely sensitive to toxins.
These little insects flapped their wings and quickly flew into the valley.
They circled in the valley and did not find anything unusual but seemed unusually excited.
This showed that there was no danger lurking in the valley. Seeing this, Li Chengfeng's heart couldn't help but become active.
He realized that such a beautiful and mysterious place must hide some kind of opportunity.
Although he was used to a life of fighting and killing, with rivers of blood, he did not underestimate this place because of it.
On the contrary, he was more vigilant because the more gorgeous and beautiful a place was, the more likely it was to hide a murderous intent.
Li Chengfeng suddenly stepped into this mysterious valley, and a melodious zither sound suddenly rang in his ears.
The zither sound was like a babbling brook, gentle and soothing, making people feel comfortable all over, as if all the fatigue and murderous intent had dissipated.
However, in this tranquility and beauty, Li Chengfeng became even more vigilant.
In this world of killing, such a harmonious and peaceful scene often hid unknown secrets.
He walked forward step by step, his divine sense quickly scanning the surroundings.
Suddenly, he discovered a garden full of flowers five miles away.
In that garden, there was a small pavilion, and outside the pavilion was a fish pond, in which some golden koi were swimming.
These koi were not ordinary things. They were all second-order demon beasts, leisurely playing in the fish pond.
In the pavilion sat a woman as beautiful as a celestial being.
She was concentrating on playing the zither, a hint of longing smile on her lips, a smile with a hint of happiness and excitement.
As she played, the zither music sometimes rose like ten thousand horses galloping, and sometimes fell like a babbling brook, forming an extremely beautiful picture that made people feel refreshed.
The woman's beauty was simply breathtaking, her figure graceful, and a beautiful leg was looming under the cover of her skirt.
Her fair skin shimmered with a mesmerizing luster, and her jade feet were even more unforgettable, making people want to touch them.
Like a carefully crafted work of art. Her skin was as delicate as mutton-fat jade, emitting a warm luster in the soft light.
Her small toes were neatly arranged, like round pearls, with a hint of pink.
She wore a string of purple-blue skirts, embroidered with lotus patterns, appearing graceful and elegant.
Li Chengfeng watched the woman in front of him and nodded secretly.
He wondered, who was this woman? Judging from her aura, she did not seem to be someone who came to participate in the trial.
Why would there be a woman in this secret realm? If his true self were here, he might be able to see the key at a glance, but this Substitute Puppet was, after all, only a product of the Mortal World Refinement of Heart and did not possess all the strength of his true self, so he could not determine the woman's identity.
The woman saw him, stopped playing the zither, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please come in and have a chat."
Li Chengfeng nodded and walked in, keeping his guard up. He asked, "I wonder who you are, Fellow Daoist? Are you participating in the trial?"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, her voice as sweet as a silver bell, "Of course not. I'm not here to participate in the trial."
Li Chengfeng frowned slightly and asked, "Could it be that you are the legendary Saintess?"
The woman shook her head and smiled, "No, I'm just a maid of the Saintess, responsible for some of her cultivation matters.
This time, I am acting as the proctor for the trial. Of course, the elders didn't tell you in advance because I am here on behalf of the Saintess to proctor.
Although according to the rules, whoever is stronger can cultivate with the Saintess, but the Saintess is, after all, a woman, and she has a little thought, thinking that her husband must be an extraordinary talent.
She doesn't look up to ordinary people. So, I was sent here first to check."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "The Saintess is indeed intelligent. May I know your name, Fellow Daoist?"
"My name is Nan Ping," the woman replied.
Li Chengfeng respectfully said, "Then please, Fellow Daoist Nan Ping, say a few good words for me in front of the Saintess. This small gift is nothing."
As he spoke, he took out a delicate box and handed it to the young woman Nan Ping.
