Li Er didn't care who they were eating with; the ultimate world held no further interest, so he simply left.
Returning to the Heavenly Dao group, a notification indicated the mission was complete, though the points reward was meager. Li Er then entered the group space, contemplating visiting that world for fun.
Li Yang immediately said, "Heh heh, since you've got nothing to do, keep looking for the origin with me!"
Li Er rolled his eyes. Searching for the origin was boring.
Li Yang slung an arm around Li Er's neck and pulled him along. He had discovered that Li Er was a lucky charm; as long as he was with Li Er, they were bound to gain something. Alone, he'd likely come away with nothing.
"Seniors, may I accompany you?" At this moment, Zhuge Liang emerged from his seclusion and appeared before them.
Li Er glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "Late stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, about to achieve sainthood. Zhuge Liang, you're quite something!"
Zhuge Liang smiled bashfully; he had indeed encountered some fortuitous opportunities.
However, having reached this point, he had no resources left, which was why he wished to travel. But the myriad worlds were too dangerous, so he wanted to follow a powerful figure. Other powerful figures might be difficult to approach, but Li Er was relatively easier to talk to.
Li Yang also looked at Zhuge Liang, praising him. Zhuge Liang was currently the fastest cultivator in the group. He had joined the chat group the latest, yet his cultivation progressed rapidly. This was a sign of intelligence!
One only had to look at Chen Chichi beside him to see the vast difference.
Chen Chichi stared at Zhuge Liang, feeling incredibly dejected. Every time he saw Zhuge Liang, he felt like a pig, with Zhuge Liang constantly mocking him.
Now, Zhuge Liang could even accompany the boss on his expeditions, while he himself was still at the insignificant Immortal realm. It was true he had just broken through, but still!
"Alright, it's just searching for the origin anyway, and it's incredibly boring. If you want to follow, then follow!" Li Er said indifferently.
The three then returned to the Sacred Ripple World, specifically the Heavenly Direction Domain. Li Er immediately started a livestream, allowing anyone who wished to watch. Chen Chichi was the first to enter the livestream, and Bi Yao, who also had nothing to do recently, joined to watch as well.
"Seniors, do you have any plan?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Li Yang and Li Er exchanged glances. Plan? What plan?
Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly. Looking at the expressions of the two seniors, he knew there was no plan. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Even more crucially and frustratingly, these two seniors could still stumble upon treasures and have people willingly deliver themselves and their origins to them. It was infuriating, wasn't it?
"Have you seniors inquired if there are any forbidden lands here?" Zhuge Liang ventured to ask.
Li Er looked at Li Yang and raised an eyebrow, "Li Yang, did you ask?"
Li Yang chuckled. Ask what? However, he had searched through someone's memories and knew that the Heavenly Direction Domain had quite a few forbidden areas.
"Then what about a star map?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
Li Er closed his eyes, appearing as if his spirit had ascended to the heavens. Li Yang grinned awkwardly. They relied on their memories, not on drawing star maps!
"Pfft!" Chen Chichi burst out laughing.
"Zhuge Liang, aren't you embarrassing the boss? Is our boss the type to draw maps?" Chen Chichi blurted out.
Li Er opened his eyes, thinking, "Little brat, you're quite feisty."
"Do you need all that to find the origin? I found the origin quite easily, you know!" Li Er declared ostentatiously.
Zhuge Liang massaged his forehead. Yes, boss, you have good luck. I won't comment on that.
"Cough, cough. This is a memory I extracted from someone. You can take a look!" Li Yang said, producing a jade slip.
After reading it, Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "The origin is very important. It's definitely not in ordinary locations, as it would have been discovered long ago in such commonplace places."
Chen Chichi immediately retorted, "Not necessarily. Some things return to their primordial state, and you wouldn't see them."
Zhuge Liang ignored Chen Chichi; he was like a pig.
"We can only try our luck in the forbidden lands. There are eighteen forbidden lands in the Heavenly Direction Domain. The closest one to us is the Fire Fusion Realm. It's said that few venture into its depths, so let's go there first!" Zhuge Liang decided.
Li Er nodded. "Alright, let's go there. Actually, that's what I was thinking too."
Li Yang chuckled. "You were thinking nothing of the sort!"
The three then headed towards the Fire Fusion Realm. However, Zhuge Liang was too slow, so Li Er carried him like a little chick, flying along. Zhuge Liang was quite helpless, knowing this was naked retaliation, meant to embarrass him.
"Haha, Zhuge Liang, the way you're flying now is quite flamboyant!" Chen Chichi roared with laughter, recording it at the same time.
Zhuge Liang chuckled and ignored him. As long as his strength increased, everything else was secondary.
"We've arrived. Let's go in!" Li Er said. Li Yang entered first, Zhuge Liang second, and Li Er last.
Upon entering, they felt a wave of heat wash over them, as if their flesh was being scorched. Li Er asked Zhuge Liang, "Can you handle it?"
Zhuge Liang felt himself and replied, "It's alright. I am inherently fire-aligned, so I am resistant to fire!"
Li Er nodded. Li Yang said, "Then, shall we start searching?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head. "We'll fly straight to the deepest part, as deep as we can go, and then search in reverse."
Li Yang understood and nodded, rushing forward. Zhuge Liang followed behind, with Li Er at the rear.
The three flew in a straight line, with Li Yang batting away any debris that flew towards them.
"Heh heh, we'll also come and watch the two brothers treasure hunt!" Tang San and Ye Fan also entered the livestream, wanting to see how they operated. After all, the previous instance of someone delivering themselves was not a reliable indicator; the coincidental factors were too great.
Zhunti and Minghe also arrived, silently observing.
"Just trying our luck!" Li Er said with a smile.
"That's also because of your good luck, brother. Let's team up next time!" Tang San said directly. He also wanted to team up with Li Er. Look at Li Yang; by teaming up with Li Er, he obtained the thunder origin. They also lacked origins.
"Alright!" Li Er said indifferently.
Thus, the three flew for over a week. Chen Chichi, bored, said, "Are you just going to fly like this? At least look around!"
"You talk too much. What do you know?" Li Er cursed directly. Chen Chichi shut up sulkily.
"Zhuge Liang, can you still hold on?" As they ventured deeper, the heat intensified. Li Yang asked directly, as Zhuge Liang had the lowest cultivation.
Zhuge Liang smiled, "No problem."
Li Yang nodded. It seemed Zhuge Liang had some protective treasure, otherwise, with his Grand Unity cultivation, he likely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
