Live Strong in the Wilderness

"You know, it’s possible that my Spiritual Power might be absorbed by you, and yours by me. Therefore, establishing a Spiritual Link can only be done under extreme trust. I used this method to help Lu Ke level up," Xu Yi said, watching the Spirit God.

The choice is in the hands of the Spirit God.

If she doesn’t agree, Xu Yi will have to reveal his Pet Space and trap the Illusionary Flower Demon inside it before figuring out a way to tame it.

However, he obtained all of their technology from the Spirit Race.

Given the generosity of the Spirit Race, Xu Yi could not betray them.

Thus, he is willing to take a risk, join forces with the Spirit God, and tame the Illusionary Flower Demon together.

The Spirit God pondered for a moment, then nodded, taking off her Star Chart and tossing it into the distance. This way, no one would disturb her.

"Let’s establish the Spiritual Link. Whether it’s our Spirit Race or your humans, we all need this Illusionary Flower Demon." As she spoke, the Spirit God released her Spiritual Power, preparing to establish the Link with Xu Yi.

Xu Yi shook his head and said, "Don’t rush, it’s still quite dangerous since no one is around us. I’ll go tame some Fierce Beasts to guard us."

The Spirit God nodded, then re-established a barrier outside Xu Yi’s Spiritual Power barrier, adding an extra layer of protection.

Then, Xu Yi immediately went to tame the Fierce Beasts.

This place is a level 15 Fierce Beast Territory, which is relatively easy for Xu Yi to tame.

Moreover, many Fierce Beasts nearby have fallen under the Illusionary Flower Demon’s scent, so Xu Yi only needs to tame them and then help them regain consciousness.

Because of the Illusionary Flower Demon, these Fierce Beasts shouldn’t be too close; guarding the perimeter is enough.

Soon, Xu Yi tamed six Fierce Beasts.

The whole process took less than an hour.

Now, taming a level 15 Fierce Beast takes Xu Yi less than five minutes.

Then, after assigning the beasts their guarding areas, Xu Yi returned to the Spirit God’s side.

"Xu Yi, you’ve finally returned. If you had delayed any longer, I wouldn’t have been able to hold it," the Spirit God exclaimed, relieved. She was barely managing.

A level 15 Demon Race member is extremely powerful.

If not for the Illusionary Flower Demon’s weaker combat capabilities, perhaps the Spirit God would have been killed already.

"Recover your Spiritual Power first. Once you’re ready, we’ll start," Xu Yi told the Spirit God and sat down cross-legged, using his Spiritual Power to contain the Illusionary Flower Demon while recovering himself.

Three hours later, both the Spirit God and Xu Yi were ready.

"Shall we begin?" the Spirit God asked excitedly. She had heard of the dangers of establishing a Spiritual Link but never experienced it. She never thought she’d get the chance.

"Yes, relax completely. During the process, don’t resist. Trust me, I won’t absorb your Spiritual Power, only temporarily utilize it," Xu Yi said solemnly.

"I understand, I’ll fully cooperate with you," the Spirit God replied seriously, knowing the Illusionary Flower Demon concerns both human and Spirit Race destiny.

"Then let’s begin," Xu Yi took a deep breath and released his Spiritual Power, guiding the Spirit God.

On establishing a Spiritual Link, Xu Yi was quite experienced.

Under Xu Yi’s guidance and the Spirit God’s full cooperation, they established the link.

Once established, Xu Yi quickly stabilized and began taming the Illusionary Flower Demon.

Were it not for his intention not to harm it, he might have used the Spirit Blade to attack it, damaging its spirit for easier taming.

But doing so might eliminate the Illusionary Flower Demon’s unique abilities, so Xu Yi opted for a cautious approach using Taming Skills extensively.

Alongside using Taming Skills, Xu Yi also had the Spirit God cultivate the Supreme Profound Scripture.

This approach was naturally risky.

But Xu Yi had no choice but to take the risk for taming the Illusionary Flower Demon.

Time quickly passed, one hour, then another.

The Illusionary Flower Demon continuously crashed against the spiritual barrier constructed by Xu Yi, attempting escape.

It knew what Xu Yi and the Spirit God were attempting.

Surrender was impossible, it would never concede.

Regrettably, Xu Yi was a level 17 peak Divine Master, and it had just broken through to level 15 Demon Race—the gap in Spiritual Power was significant.

As the Illusionary Flower Demon kept colliding and consuming its Spiritual Power, it dwindled steadily.

Meanwhile, Xu Yi remained unaffected.

In contrast, the Spirit God incessantly operated the Supreme Profound Scripture, her Spiritual Power remaining at peak levels.

The Spirit Race’s top figures appeared.

However, they didn’t interrupt Xu Yi and the Spirit God, instead standing guard around.

Now, even a mosquito couldn’t get near Xu Yi and the Spirit God.

Time quickly elapsed—now it had been a day.

Yet, there were no signs of success.

Xu Yi didn’t waver, continuing to use Taming Skills relentlessly.

Time flew by, and five days had already passed.

"Lu Ke, do you think Xu Yi can tame that Illusionary Flower Demon?" Ling Qi tilted her head, glancing at Lu Ke seated beside her.

Due to the prolonged lack of success, Ling Qi dispatched someone to bring Lu Ke over.

Now Lu Ke’s power was formidable—if she could establish a Spiritual Link with Xu Yi, his Spiritual Power might become even stronger.

"I’m confident in Xu Yi, but if I rush over, it might disrupt their balance," Lu Ke wished to help Xu Yi yet understood that establishing a Spiritual Link wasn’t a simple matter.

Both were already quite strained, adding a third would amplify the risks.

"Hopefully, they’ll succeed. After all, achieving level 20 swiftly is arduous—this Illusionary Flower Demon is our sole chance at rapid ascension," Ling Qi gazed into the forest’s depths, though she couldn’t see Xu Yi and the Spirit God.

"They will. Trust them. Back when Xu Yi tamed the snail, it took him many days to succeed," Lu Ke smiled.

"Mm-hmm," Ling Qi nodded.

And so, another three days passed.

"Xu Yi, can we really succeed?" The Spirit God directly used Spiritual Power to communicate—after so many days, she felt completely one with Xu Yi.

"Yes, and we’re almost there. I have a feeling," Xu Yi replied using Spiritual Power.

She’s heard similar words dozens of times—it’s what he said days ago.

As the Spirit God was about to speak, she suddenly felt a surge of power approaching.

"Absorb, quickly absorb this Spiritual Energy with me, operate the Supreme Profound Scripture without pausing for a moment."

Without time to ask Xu Yi if the Illusionary Flower Demon had been tamed, she began furiously absorbing this immensely pure Spiritual Power.

Soon, the Spirit God realized she had reached level 16.

But it didn’t stop there; her realm kept advancing.

After a short while, she found herself breaking through to level 17.

And the Spiritual Energy was far from depleted—it wasn’t finished absorbing with Xu Yi.

She continued leveling-up.

Jumping from level 17 to 18 took mere moments, perhaps ten minutes.

Could she leverage this Spiritual Energy to leap to level 20?

Maybe, maybe not. The Spirit God ardently hoped to achieve level 20.

Upon reaching level 20, she could then guard the outer space of Jialan Star.

Several hours later, the Spirit God felt all the Spiritual Energy thoroughly absorbed.

She also reached the peak of level 19.

What she’s most curious about now is Xu Yi.

She climbed four levels—what of Xu Yi? Will he ascend four levels consecutively?
