20 Chapter 20 : Walking sideways.

After integrating with the Shadow Demon Spirit that was confined inside the lamp, Nie Li finally became a Demon Spiritualist.

A 4 Star Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist at only13 years old, this speed of cultivation have never been heard of in the entire history of Glory City. Not to mention that Nie Li is also a legit Peak Legend Rank Fighter to boot.

This current strength he has right now is enough for Nie Li to walk sideways in Glory City without any problem. Even the City Lord Ye Zong can only dream about beating Nie Li now, despite the huge difference in their Cultivation. As for Ye Mo, even if Nie Li can't win against him yet, there will be no problem about escaping unharmed using his spatial garden.

But that doesn't mean that Nie Li will just go around flaunting his strength everywhere like an idiot. After all, the Dark Guilds are still lurking around Glory City. Although Nie Li isn't afraid of them, he still has some people to protect like his families and those kids.

After integrating with the Shadow Demon Spirit, Nie Li didn't immediately leave the place. Instead he sat down cross-legged in the middle of the underground hall, right beside the empty Stone coffin and started stabilizing his foundation.

Nie Li's foundation is very strong and firm due to cultivating his body first to peak Legend Rank Fighter Body before touching his soul force. This allowed him to have a very stable foundation. But the multiple breakthroughs he had today made it fluctuate a bit. Although it still remained stable, Nie Li didn't want to take the risk.

This happened mostly because his cultivation and understanding towards the Heavenly God Technique he's practicing is still too low. If not, there should have been no problem at all.

Closing his eyes, Nie Li began chanting according to the formula of Heavenly God Technique. A very pure energy started circulating inside his Soul Sea enriching it. When it comes to the purity of soul force, perhaps there's no one under the Heavenly Axis Realm that can surpass Nie Li.

By the time he's finished, it's already dawn of the next day..

Nie Li opened the stone coffin and saw two items inside. It's the Abstruse Gemstone and the remnant page of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.

When Nie li saw that paper, he can't help but be curious of it. This is the biggest hype in this world after all, even more than the Sage Emperor because without the Temporal Demon Spirit Book, there will be no story too. Not to mention returning back to the past, the canon Nie Li should have long died in that desert if he didn't encounter this book.

Looking closer, he noticed that the page is as thin as a cicada's wing, and was even a bit transparent. It had dense and difficult text written on it Nie Li can not understand at all.

Why can't I see any special traits about this paper aside from the words written on it that I can't understand? he thought confusedly.

From what he know, this remnant page should be able to nourish his Soul Realm. That's what he read from the manga after all. But... why can't he feel a thing now? What's wrong?

Nie Li can't help but be worried by this thought. He has to save some time studying this in the future to find the answer he wants. For now, he can only set it aside.

Nie Li examined the two items for a few more moments before also tossing them inside his Spatial Garden - the safest place he can think of.

Before leaving, Nie Li gathered all of the skeletons here and brought them outside.

...

Tink.

Tank.

Sounds of metal colliding with stones echoes around as Nie Li continue to digging holes in the ground. He started doing this early in the morning and after 2 hours, Nie Li had filly dug hundreds of holes.

" This should be enough.. " he said while wiping the sweat on his forehead. It's an unconscious movement because there isn't any sweat on his forehead at all. How can he sweat just by doing meager things like this?

He then began putting skeleton remains in each of the holes. One by one, filling each holes with skeletons before covering it with dirt.

" Seems like they are finally here. "

While doing this, Nie Li noticed a group of people in the distance moving towards his direction. After realizing who they are, Nie Li ignored them and continue what he's doing.

7 minutes later..

" Nie Li? " Ye Ziyun's said unsurely. " How come you're here? "

She and Ning we have been looking for this guy these past two weeks but thy can't find him. Who would have thought that they will see him here?

Xiao Ning er is also feeling the same. Why is Nie Li here? What is he doing here alone?

She has a lot of questions inside her mind but didn't know where to start.

" Nie Li.. what are you doing here? " asked Xiao Ning er while going closer to him. She's happy to see Nie Li.

" Oh, Ziyun, Ning er, hello. " Nie Li greeted them in normal way after covering the last hole he dug earlier. Ye Ziyun being here is still within his expectations but not Xiao Ning er.

Did Ziyun invited her? Probably.

" Don't hello us! " Ye Ziyun pouted and stomped her left foot on the ground. " What are you doing here alone? Don't you know that it's very dangerous? "

" Hmm? Are you worried about me, Ziyun? " Nie Li was amused by her reaction. The last time he saw this girl, she's timid but now she's throwing tantrum on him? What caused this sudden change?

" Wh-who's worried about you? I-I am just concerned for Ning er. You said you will cu- . meet with us in two weeks but you didn't come. " Ye Ziyun realized that there's other people around them so she changed her words because she didn't want to disclose Xiao Ning er's condition.

" Ziyun you.... I'm fine. Nie Li is helping me for free, we can not blame him if he's busy. " Xiao Ning er tried stopping her best friend.

" Fuck! Who's that kid? Why is he acting so chummy with our two goddesses? "

" Curse him! How dare he teased our goddesses like that?! "

" So infuriating! I want to beat him to pulp! "

....

The males in Chen Linjian's group discussed enviously, while the girls started to gossip among themselves.

The one Nie Li hit more than 2 weeks ago, Shen Yue was also among this group. It seems like he already had recovered. His fury rose up to its peak when he saw Nie Li. This is the guy that made him bedridden for more than a week, how can he be calm? He wanted nothing more than to rush to Nie Li but he's scared.

Seeing that the two girls knew the young man they randomly saw here, Chen Linjian also approached them and said. " You know this little brother here, young miss? "

" I..... En. He's our friend. " Ze Ziyun replied with a blush. Calling Nie Li as 'friend' means that she'd accepted him but how about Nie Li? She took a peek to Nie Li and only saw him smiling while looking at her. " Humph! "

" Oh.. " Chen Linjian is no idiot. Although he can't recognize this young man, he is definitely not simple considering how he's capable of making the City Lord's daughter act like this. Are they perhaps... an unbelievable thought came inside Chen Linjian's mind but brushed it off immediately thinking that it's very impossible. He cupped his hands and said to Nie Li, " Hello, I'm Chen Linjian. May I know who this little brother was? "

" Hi. I'm Nie Li. Nice to meet you. "
