He began absorbing the spiritual energy. He already knew waht he needed to know and was just lacking the spiritual energy. Due to the the poor quality of the spiritual energy in the mortal world as compared to the Immortal Realm, his cultivation was rather slow, extremely slow!
This was accompanied by the friction caused by continuously using The Aura Supressing Technique which was depleting his spiritual energy though not in large amounts. He cultivated for about 10 hours until finally opening his eyes in a solemn expression with the trace of calmness not disappearing from his face.
He spread out his divine sense to see what was going on. The village was as calm as always, he did not find anything in particilar except for an argument between two old women on the street. He let his divine sense go farther and he finally saw Feng.
She was in trouble!
It was clear from the fact that she had used her trump card, which was she transformed into a Phoenix and the fact thast she running or rather flying away with all her strength. He sensed few other auras beyond her who were also moving at a fast speed.
It was clear that they were chasing her. They had an aura equivalent to that of Nascent Soul realm and that too at the peak of the realm. Moreover, he could sense more than 10 similar aura.
Feng, in her human form, was only a Core Formation Realm Cultivator. After transforming into the phoenix form, she could exhibit strength stronger than Nascent Soul cultivator but weaker than the Void-Step cultivator.
Half-Step Void Step Cutivator.
This is why she had been able to run away without being killed. And she had still not used her Rebirth.
Though she was Half-Step to Void Step, she cannot use the power of the True Void Step cultivators which make them so fearsome That ability was the ability to travel through space. Although for just a brief moment, it was enough to change the tides of the battle.
As Xian Li sensed this scene of kids playing, he let out a small laugh and kept sitting at the same place. He closed his eyes and move his right hand in front of him. He closed his fist and then after one second released it. After that, he began cultivating as if nothing happened.
Meanwhile, Feng.
She abruptly stopped after she saw that there was someone in front of her. He was one of the assasins she was running away from. She looked at him and then behind her as she saw that the others had reached her. She had a grave expression even in her Phoenix form.
"Hahaha, Little lass, you are still too young and weak to escape from us."
The one in front of her pointed out towards Feng with the dagger he was holding. As he said this, his smile became creepier.
"Kill her!"
"Oh No!"
Feng exclaimed in horror as she felt attacks coming from all sides and no escape. She closed her eyes to get ready to feel the death before she could use her Rebirth and escape. But-
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three second passed.
Nothing happened.
She opened her eyes to see what was going on and she was shocked to see the situation. She was trapped or rather protected inside a Golden Dome where she could not hear anything from outside. It felt peaceful inside, a sense of security, calm ,tranquility and serenity.
But Outside, Just as those assasins were about to attack, a beam of light came from a direction. They took an abrupts stop as they felt terrifying power way above their league from that beam. It came directly to them.
One of the more elder one from the group said in a low voice as despair filled his eyes.
"This... Annihilating from million miles away. This is the legendary Immor.!!
Before he could complete his sentece he, along with the others, exploded into countless pieces of meat.
Feng was appalled after witnessing such a horrifying scene.
She was at a loss of words!
