CHAPTER 627: 627. DIVINE THOUGHT CHANNEL

The wives were quite skilled at what they did, not only efficient but also systematic.

Lu Li thus completely set his mind at ease and continued his "Divine Travel."

He transformed into a rainbow-like form, shuttling through the "Sea of Consciousness" at the speed of light, sweeping past countless spirit flashes.

In it were numerous transcendent worlds, but the intensity of their brilliance was slightly weak, only enough to give birth to "Thunder Tribulation Level" strong ones.

To Lu Li, they were somewhat insignificant; he naturally had little interest.

He shuttled for a long time, this Sea of Consciousness being a gathering place for the universe’s dark matter, truly without boundaries.

Roaming alone within it, Lu Li unusually felt... a sense of insignificance.

He felt like a grain of fine sand in the ocean... no, perhaps not even a sand grain, at most a microorganism.

A mayfly leaning against the universe, a speck in the vast ocean.

The universe was indeed too vast; even a Yang God only had the qualifications to leave the Mother Star System to gain a bit of experience.

A lifespan of 120,000 years was far from enough to appreciate all the wonders; perhaps only the Infinite Supreme could thoroughly peek into the mysteries of the universe.

As his thoughts flickered, Lu Li sped through a colorful sea of light but suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden shine.

In the Sea of Consciousness, which was full of emotionally representative brilliance, most were red, black, gray, and green; gold had never been seen before.

Lu Li turned back to look and discovered that this golden brilliance came from... a cable?

It was indeed a "Golden Optical Cable," completely constructed from the spiritual power of the strong.

Each end connected to a world, like an undersea tunnel...

"This is a Divine Thought Channel built to quickly traverse between two worlds!" Lu Li quickly realized what was going on, clearly someone was utilizing the Sea of Consciousness for "cross-border" travel.

Creative indeed, the strength of divine thoughts also met the Yang God Level, and it could even absorb the chaotic thoughts in the Sea of Consciousness to maintain itself.

Lu Li studied it curiously but found that the two worlds connected by the channel were emitting gray spirit light.

This was the color of extreme sorrow, obviously something had happened that caused a world of mourning.

Coincidentally, Lu Li was interested, so he went right into that "Divine Thought Channel."

Inside, it was a tunnel composed of golden brilliance, and Lu Li picked the end with stronger power to travel through.

But his speed could no longer reach the speed of light, estimating it would take an hour to complete the journey.

This cross-border method was far inferior to the Kunlun Mirror’s "wormhole" in terms of speed and safety, and even less efficient than directly traversing the Sea of Consciousness.

However, the issue was, entering the "Sea of Consciousness" for divine travel required at least the cultivation of Thunder Tribulation.

The "Divine Thought Channel" was different, Lu Li transformed with a shake, directly reverting to his physical form.

This place could accommodate physical matter, usable by anyone, even mortals!

"Not a bad method, I can mimic it."

Lu Li was greatly inspired and pondered that he could completely lay such channels himself, connecting multiple worlds.

Allowing cultivators like Xiao Cha and Sister Xia to traverse the Sea of Consciousness on their own, without needing others to accompany them.

To go even further, he could even involve the people of Xia Country from Blue Star.

The resources required for over a billion people to gain transcendence were definitely not satisfied by one or two planets.

Of course, that was a story for later.

Now, the exit of the channel arrived, Lu Li focused his thoughts, accelerated, and flew out, arriving at a "Green Turquoise" colored planet.

The oceans here were rich in iron, presenting a pine-green color.

Gravity 0.89g, average temperature 31 degrees, vibrant with life and abundant with Spirit Mechanism.

So abundant that it allowed mountain peaks to float mid-air with exquisite pavilions and towers on them, a true scene of Immortal Aura.

Lu Li released his divine thoughts with a sweep, collecting countless pieces of information.

This place was a Cultivation World, the race, language, and script were all the same as his, considered to be of the same origin.

Yet, having been thoroughly examined, not a single native cultivator noticed.

Only because Lu Li came to the real world in his physical body, the disturbance was minimal, which was also another advantage of the "Divine Thought Channel."

But even the slightest movement eventually becomes noticeable, and the top echelons of this realm immediately looked towards the sky in shock!

Fortunately, in this realm originating from the same source, Lu Li was certain to show mercy, and did not reveal his Formless Star Body form.

Seeing that he bore no hostility, an old and hoarse voice transmitted a message:

"Old man Long Xiaofan here. Young friend, if you’re free, why not come over for a chat?"

"Then I will take the liberty to visit."

Lu Li was eager to meet the creator of the Divine Thought Channel and, with a flash, he moved there.

The meeting place was in an inconspicuous little depression on the ground.

The host, Long Xiaofan, was an old man with white hair and a withered face, emanating an aura of decay, like dry leaves on branches.

Only the energy fluctuations around him gave away his Yang God Level strength.

But Yang Gods do not show signs of aging... this was a Yang God at the end of his life.

Long Xiaofan greeted with a bow and started speaking in Xia Language, "As I expected, young friend, you’re Divine Traveling through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, gathering nourishment."

"Correct."

Lu Li openly admitted and replied with a bow in Xia Language,

"My name is Lu Li, and since our civilizations originate from the same source, I will not lay my hands on this realm."

"I noticed that,"

Long Xiaofan smiled, giving off the air of someone who had experienced much, saying,

"I also traversed various worlds like you, seeking that slim chance for enlightenment. Unfortunately, my Cultivation was far too lacking, ultimately resulting in having the will but not the power."

His words seemed carefree, but Lu Li could hear a hint of regret... or perhaps helplessness.

Resigning to defeat, accepting his own inadequacy, Long Xiaofan had fallen into true decay, both body and soul.

"My days are numbered, and none of my unworthy descendants have shown any promise. Fortunately, having met you, I have an audacious request..."

Long Xiaofan earnestly sought, "I hope, considering our shared root, you can look after this realm a bit after I am gone."

"I can do that; if a catastrophe threatening annihilation arises, I will step in to help."

Being from related worlds, Lu Li didn’t mind offering emergency assistance, and he wouldn’t just stand by if even the Journey to the West World was in trouble.

Of course, this was only limited to critical moments, and Long Xiaofan was already satisfied:

"Then I thank you deeply. As a token of gratitude, after I pass away, feel free to take the Cave Heaven within me."

"That won’t be necessary; let it continue to shine in the universe."

Lu Li promptly refused and then took his leave,

"If there’s a need, have your disciples recite my name. I must continue my tasks and leave now."

Lu Li was preoccupied with tinkering with the "Divine Thought Channel" and did not wish to stay longer.

However, this ungreedy and generously composed demeanor greatly impressed Long Xiaofan.

He quickly took out a bunch of highly valuable items and tried to stuff them into Lu Li’s hands:

"I can’t let you leave empty-handed; here are Divine Light Stones, Rest Soil, and Xuan Crystals, which you might find useful."

"Then I will accept without reservations."

Lu Li took them graciously, looking clear and composed.

Witnessing this, Long Xiaofan sighed even more, recalling how he, too, had once been so open and composed, but every story has its conclusion...

As they were parting, Lu Li casually mentioned, "The channel you’ve built in the Sea of Consciousness is quite ingenious—it has been greatly beneficial to me."

"About that, I learned it from someone else,"

Long Xiaofan cheerfully responded,

"Speaking of which, you two share the surname ’Lu,’ but his ’Lu’ means ’road,’ Lu Yao. You both come from the same lineage, and it might be worth meeting him sometime."

Long Xiaofan’s tone was warm, clearly very close to that person.

This was Long Xiaofan’s trump card; had Lu Li harbored any ill intentions, the old man might have had to take drastic actions.

But now, enjoying a pleasant conversation, Long Xiaofan simply passed on the information about "Lu Yao" to facilitate a future meeting.

Without overthinking it, Lu Li gave a bow and then tore open the portal to the Sea of Consciousness, departing from there.
