Chapter 501: The Once Lofty Ancient Kingdom of Loulan [3rd Update]



The environment of Xuan Sect is very good, and if there ever comes a day when Li Xiaoyao decides to retire, Zhongnan Mountain would definitely be his top choice. These days, Li Xiaoyao practiced cultivation during the day and rested at night, maintaining a very regular schedule. Normally, he would certainly not waste the night hours just for rest. But times were different now. In a few days, he was to head to the Human Realm, and before that, Li Xiaoyao felt it necessary to rejuvenate and accumulate his energy. In the Human Realm, one cannot utilize Spiritual Power, and everything must rely on combat experience and physical cultivation level. Li Xiaoyao believed that in this world, there probably hadn't been anyone born with a stronger physical cultivation than his own. But even so, he did not dare to be careless. Every sect that participated in the Human Realm challenge was a gathering of strong individuals, among which were the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country. To others, the greatest threat in the Human Realm might come from individuals from other sects, but in Li Xiaoyao's view, the real danger was the demon beasts within the Human Realm. The gravity inside the Human Realm is ten times that of the outside world. Once one enters, they must endure a gravity more than ten times their own weight. Those not trained for it find it hard to adapt to this gravitational space. However, the demon beasts that naturally inhabit the Human Realm do not have this worry. These creatures are born and grow up in the Human Realm, already accustomed to the tenfold gravity. Jiang Lichun had the disciples preparing for the Human Realm carrying a hundred pounds each every day for various types of training a month in advance, so they could quickly adapt to the tenfold gravity. Having great Spiritual Power cultivation doesn't mean one has strong physical cultivation as well. Take Ye Yisheng, for example; he has Third Rank Abstinence Realm Spiritual Power cultivation, but his physical cultivation level is probably only at the Qi-Refining stage. Of course, there are those with strong physical cultivation, but such individuals usually start as Martial Artists, reaching the pinnacle of brute strength and entering the path of martial arts from there. However, even Martial Arts Grandmasters can't catch Li Xiaoyao's eye. Time flies swiftly, and tomorrow is the day the Human Realm opens. Today, Xuan Sect is setting off for the Human Realm. Li Xiaoyao led nine people directly, taking a helicopter to the Human Realm. The location of the Human Realm is a secret even to Cultivators, known only by the Sects that are qualified to enter, unknown to any third party. Even Li Xiaoyao only received the address from Jiang Lichun right before departing. Naturally, Li Xiaoyao was piloting the helicopter, as among the ten people, likely no one else knew how to fly it better than him. As a former mercenary who had dodged through storms of bullets, Li Xiaoyao was familiar with the operation of various types of vehicles. Jiang Lichun led the ten people to the back mountain of Xuan Sect, where there was a spacious flatland with five helicopters parked on it. "Old Jiang, that's quite the grand gesture?" Li Xiaoyao said in surprise as he looked at the five helicopters. "Just average," Jiang Lichun said nonchalantly, with a show-off look on his face. Ye Yisheng and the other nine boarded the helicopter, while Li Xiaoyao stood below to bid his final farewell to Jiang Lichun. "Xiaoyao, I'm entrusting this batch of youngsters to you for this experience in the Human Realm," Jiang Lichun didn't dare to put too much pressure on Li Xiaoyao, because he knew that even without saying so, Li Xiaoyao would do his utmost to ensure their safety. However, since its discovery, every sect and family had nearly a ten to twenty percent casualty rate in the Human Realm. Therefore, even with Li Xiaoyao leading the team, he was prepared for some losses. "With me here, no one will be able to harm them," Li Xiaoyao spoke calmly, yet his words were filled with confidence. "Have a safe journey, I won't see you off," Jiang Lichun laughed slyly, and said, "I'm on the verge of making a breakthrough recently. By the time you come out, I should be almost there." Li Xiaoyao looked at him and noticed that the old man's aura was very unstable, indeed a sign that he was about to break through. "Here, this is for you," Li Xiaoyao said casually as he handed over a bottle of Pill Medicine to him. Jiang Lichun stared at the jade vial in his hand and asked, "What's this?" "Soul Guarding Pill." Dropping this remark, Li Xiaoyao jumped onto the helicopter and headed for the control room. Jiang Lichun was still muttering: Soul Guarding Pill? Why does that sound so familiar? It wasn't until the helicopter took off that he came to his senses, looking at the jade vial in his hand that contained the pill medicine in shock. "Damn, is this a Fifth Grade Soul Guarding Pill?" ... On the plane, Li Xiaoyao had a cigarette in his mouth, glanced down at the radar to make sure the course hadn't deviated. "Thud thud thud." Ye Yisheng stood outside the cockpit, knocking on the door. Li Xiaoyao turned to look and asked, "What's up?" Ye Yisheng's calm face showed a trace of panic as he shook his head and said, "Nothing." "Interested in the plane?" After hesitating for a few seconds, Ye Yisheng nodded and said, "Yeah." Li Xiaoyao gestured with his hand, "Come here and sit, this angle offers the best view." "Oh," Ye Yisheng walked over and sat nervously in the co-pilot's seat, thanking him. Looking through the glass, one could clearly see the scenery below that had shrunk several times over. "Martial Uncle Li, why can you fly a plane?" Ye Yisheng found Li Xiaoyao to be a very mysterious person who, at a young age, possessed such terrifying cultivation levels. Not only that, he seemed to know a lot. "I learned it before." "Is flying a plane difficult?" Ye Yisheng looked at the various buttons, levers, and that complicated dashboard, asking without much confidence. "Not difficult, quite easy to learn." Li Xiaoyao smiled and asked, "Do you want to learn?" Ye Yisheng nodded, then immediately shook his head again, saying, "Better not." But Li Xiaoyao stood up from his seat and said, "If you want to learn, learn. Life is about trying new things, don't be afraid of failure; no one succeeds overnight. Give it a try." Ye Yisheng was still hesitant, "But..." "There are no 'buts'. I'll tell you what to do, just follow along," Li Xiaoyao reassured. "Thank you, Martial Uncle Li." Ye Yisheng gritted his teeth, took Li Xiaoyao's seat, and placed his hands on his legs, not daring to randomly touch the buttons. Li Xiaoyao pointed to the control stick and said, "This is the collective pitch lever; pushing it up and down will change the altitude of the helicopter..." One explained while the other listened, and time unknowingly passed by. Four hours later, the destination in the Human Realm was the Lop Nur in Xinjiang, known as the "Ear of the Earth" and also the "Sea of Death." During the Han Dynasty, there was once a populous and sizable kingdom here called Loulan. This abandoned land once had its glory, but only briefly. Throughout Xuan Country's thousand years, this place had only a hundred years of glorious history. From the plane, one could already see a vast expanse of ruins. Directly below the helicopter was the former site of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. Continuing forward, sparse figures gradually emerged from the desert. These figures, stationed in the desert in irregular groups, were undoubtedly here for the same reason as the Xuan Sect: to partake in the training adventure of the Human Realm. "Prepare to land," said Li Xiaoyao. Ye Yisheng looked serious as he grasped the collective pitch lever, carefully maneuvering the helicopter to land.
