Chapter 1105: Taking Stock (I)
Li Ximing rode a beam of light through the great void, emerging high above the Wilderness. He lifted his sleeve to reveal the back of his hand, where a mote of violet radiance lingered, emanating a dull glow.
Ye Hui had managed to leave an injury on him during their earlier pursuit and clashes. It was a minor one that hardly affected his Dharma Body. An ordinary Purple Mansion Realm cultivator would likely need half a month to recover, but his Heaven-Venerating Gate excelled at grinding down and erasing foreign mana. It would likely be gone within two or three days.
He examined it closely, then raised his other hand and lightly stroked the back of his hand, slicing away that patch of flesh. After lifting it up and studying it in thought, he placed it back.
For most Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, if a part of the Dharma Body suffers excessive damage, it can simply be discarded and remade. It's merely a matter of which takes more time. Since I can suppress and grind it down, direct healing is usually faster... If it were another Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, they would likely have their own ways.
He then stepped down from the air. Many cultivators were still passing beneath him, and Li Ximing did not wish to cause another round of kneeling and bowing. A casual wave clouded their eyes with a spell and he walked straight past them.
He ran into Kong Guxi at the hall entrance. Fu Yuezi followed obediently behind him, carrying a golden spear and a golden axe.
Of the other Profound Peak Gate guest cultivators, only Sun Bai bothered to step forward and offer a few polite words, "Please wait a moment, gate master. Let me examine your injuries first."
Sun Bai formed a spell seal and began treating Kong Guxi's wounds. Li Ximing glanced over; among the cultivators of Profound Peak Gate, only Fu Yuezi and Sun Bai were truly noteworthy.
Sun Bai belonged to the Grave Verdant Grove, a lineage specializing in healing and nurturing. Thus, the protection he received throughout the battle was no less than that of the Li Family members. As for Fu Yuezi, his Immortal Foundation was the Heavenly Gilded Helm, and he possessed considerable ability himself. He was on par with Ding Weizeng within the Li Family.
Kong Guxi had performed admirably in this great battle, advancing and retreating with precision, though he had also sustained heavy injuries. Naturally, Li Ximing wished to see him.
When he revealed his presence, Kong Guxi, who had been speaking politely with Sun Bai, looked up to see heavenly light gathering and was so startled that he immediately fell to his knees, "Greetings, Daoist Master!"
The entire group dropped to their knees in an instant. The Jade Court Guards on both sides laid down their weapons and knelt as well, producing a chorus of crisp sounds.
