The Legend of Li Yuan
The Recurring Desperate

Along with Li Yuan's departure to cultivate, Cheng Han and Nu Hume had already arrived at the Laohu Sect. The two of them arrived by flying boat from the Fang Family Association in Qinghai Capital.

Upon arriving, Cheng Han immediately reported to the Elders and Sect Chiefs. Together with Nu Hume he reported all the developments that occurred in Jincheng City, especially during their time inside the Sky Palace. But Nu Hume did not speak of Jia Hien's true state. He deliberately did not report the situation because it was personal and concerned the good name of Jia Hien.

When reporting, Cheng Han and Nu Hume were of course very surprised. Although in the main Hall of the Sect there were no Patriarchs and Elders Bao Zi, yet they were both able to feel strength on par with Patriarch Bao Xiong. These seven Elders were clearly no longer in the same realm when he left. But at this time he did not see the presence of Elder Jia Fu in the ranks of the Elders.

Without asking any further in front of the Elders, Cheng Han Nu Hume immediately returned to the Jia Fu Elder Pavilion. Information from the other disciples, Elder Jia Fu was now in a state of self-exile. Two senior students said that.

On the other hand, the current in Huanxie City had arrived the entourage of the disciples of the Laohu Sect who were from the Li Clan. They were Li Ming and the other seven members of the Li Clan. Using the uniform of the Laohu Sect they walked over haughtily.

Using the three Horse Carts, they walked together and arrived at the residence of Patriarch Li Cuan quickly. The news of the return of the eight Li Clan youths made a scene Patriarch Li Cuan and Elder Li Chang.

The eight people with the strength of the Swordsman King realm were sitting neatly in the main Hall of the Li Clan family. Unlike before, the main building of the Li Clan began to be poorly maintained. Although it was not in a state of concern, it clearly could not be said to be in a state of fine.

"Greet the Patriarch" said Li Ming and the seven other youths. Their loud voices echoed quite loudly, making their parents proud.

"Welcome back" Patriarch Li Cuan said as he approached Li Ming and the others.

"You have grown so strong. I am proud of you" Patriarch Li Cuan said as he patted their shoulders one by one.

After letting go of the longing, they all held a meeting in the room. It appeared that Patriarch Li and several other Elders were recounting the state of the Li Clan over the past few years.

"Alright father, tomorrow I and all my brothers will come to Li Dan's residence" Li Ming replied arrogantly.

After hearing his teacher as well as the other Elders were already at the Sacred Swordsman realm made Li Ming big-headed. By carrying the name of his teacher and the Laohu Sect would be able to suppress the old man Li Yuan.

"No hurry, you just arrived. You better rest and relax first" Elder Li Chang said.

"True, you better rest first. There is still plenty of time to take care of them" Patriarch Li Cuan said, confirming Elder Li Chang's words.

"Alright if so" Li Ming said as he looked towards his brothers.

By relying on the wind element, Li Yuan wrapped his body with transparent energy. He slowly headed towards the whirlpool, a vortex that for thousands of years had formed the Blue Crystal.

Li Yuan acted recklessly, he ignored the Blue Crystal the Earth Dragon gave him. Not absorbing it but Li Yuan actually wanted to face the fierce water pressure naturally. Li Yuan wanted to bring out his natural talent by relying on his Celestial Emperor Body.

Li Yuan took a breath, then his body started to be in the middle of the whirlpool. The pressure he felt was very strong, exceeding the strength of the wind when he was in the crater of Mount Hua. With a strong determination and a burning spirit, Li Yuan tried to hold on. His body was like being torn apart by a ferocious monster.

With his physical strength of course he can still survive to a certain extent. After feeling he is not strong then he will hammer himself to the side of the Cave mouth to rest for a moment.

The situation occurred repeatedly, his body began to bruise and turn blue. At this time, he was still unable to control the water pressure from the bottom of the earth. Such a powerful thrust continued to make Li Yuan feel exhausted. The strength of his cultivation that was at the realm of an Intermediate Stage Saintess made it difficult for him to hold on for longer.

After trying repeatedly, Li Yuan was almost desperate. He tried it all day, his physical energy began to drain away. At the moment he was replenishing his energy, his face looked pale.

Under these conditions Li Yuan had no path of choice but to increase his cultivation realm. In the state of sitting preceptively, he took out a Silver Crystal that was inside his ring. As he was about to absorb it he looked doubtful.

His mind still refused, he still insisted on wanting to try again by relying on his physical strength this time around. The pulling between heart and mind made Li Yuan a little uneasy. However he recalled the time when Li Yuan mastered the magma element. Between life and death the energy in his body worked optimally.

He suddenly rose up with a lot of confidence. He believes he will be able to get through difficult times like this. After storing back the Silver Crystal into his storage ring, he stepped into the place where he practiced from the very beginning.

While circulating Qi throughout his body, slowly his energy churned within him. The magma element worked by pumping heat throughout the body, keeping Li Yuan awake from the cold.

Then his wind element worked to coat his entire body with transparent energy.

With high confidence, Li Yuan again stepped into the middle of the whirlpool. The intense pressure continued to put his body at an extreme condition. Collisions of energy from within his body continued to occur at any moment, forcing Li Yuan to continue burning his Qi to a higher point.

After a few hours, Li Yuan's strength had already begun to decrease, his Qi was thinning as well as his physical body was getting weaker. A feeling of despair came back to haunt Li Yuan, to this point he was unable to sense any new energy points in his body. No new energy core grew making Li Yuan's struggle futile.

"Huh" Li Yuan threw himself back. His face turned pale and his body began to weaken. It absorbed a large amount of energy stones just to replace the Qi Energy. He occasionally brought out the Black Apples that He gathered at Mount Hua. At a time like this, the Black Apple fruit is very helpful in accelerating the process of energy selection.
