I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 1393: Chapter 1394: Roll Over Them

Li Xiaobai muttered to himself.

He casually pulled out an ice bed, pristine and jade-like, a remnant from the resources he had looted previously.

The terrifying consumption during the battle against the Spider Woman had reduced his stockpile of top-grade Immortal Stones by more than half. Now, his remaining resources were scarce, totaling only a measly few hundred billion. He’d have to spend wisely.

Stretching his body slightly, he walked out of the room.

Li Xiaobai glanced around and realized, this truly was nothing more than a humble village.

The young men were tempering their bodies in the morning light. Layers of white mist radiated from their bodies, and with each inhale and exhale, faint yet pure Immortal Yuan Power circulated. Though weak, it was remarkably refined.

Big Fool was also among those absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi, focusing earnestly, but unlike the others, his results were far less effective. Only thin wisps of energy meandered through his body, making him considerably weaker.

These appeared to be the lowest tier of cultivators, with feeble cultivation levels—likely from the Mortal Realm.

“Young man, how’s your recovery going?”

The village chief approached cheerfully and inquired.

“Not bad, though I still don’t know where this place is. Are we still within the Central Origin Realm?”

Li Xiaobai maintained a polite smile and responded courteously.

“Of course, we’re still in the Central Origin Realm. This is merely a small border nation within it—poor and scarce in cultivators, hardly worth mentioning.”

“But I’m curious, how did you arrive here? And how did you end up inside that statue?”

The village chief stared at Li Xiaobai and couldn’t resist asking—the matter had puzzled both him and the villagers. How could someone emerge from a stone?

Moreover, the statue was handcrafted by the villagers, made from ordinary rock with nothing exceptional about it. They couldn’t fathom how this young man had burst forth from inside.

“I am omnipresent. To me, the great worlds are but one step away. Merging with a statue—a mere trifle!”

Li Xiaobai clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly. For a moment, the atmosphere grew dramatic, his imposing aura sweeping through the scene. Pretentiousness was his constant companion.

“Seems like you’re still not fully recovered. Rest up for a couple of more days then,”

The village chief shook his head and sighed, then as if remembering something, called out to Li Xiaobai’s retreating figure, “Young man, what’s your name?”
