This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 735 - 611: Isn't the Solution Coming?

A whole week had gone by since everyone discussed options without any fruitful outcome. Liang Yi was sitting calmly on the mountaintop cliff, somewhat trance-like as he gazed at the slowly drifting dark clouds within the Secret Realm.
Beside Liang Yi was Old Orange who had already woken up. However, his body was still weak and he was currently replenishing his energy with dried fish.
"It's not easy…"
Casually tossing the fishbone devoid of any flesh over the cliff, Old Orange glanced at the dazed Liang Yi and spoke, breaking the silence.
"We have to think of something despite the difficulty. We can't really just give up here, can we?"
Hearing Old Orange's words, Liang Yi focused his pupils and came back to his senses, speaking reluctantly.
Originally, when faced with how to escape from being hunted by the Abyss, everyone racked their brains but failed to come up with any good ideas.
Wisdom can indeed make up for the lack of strength to a certain extent, but when the gap in power is so vast that it could be described as a Heavenly Chasm, no matter how wise you are, the final outcome would just be overpowering ingenuity with brute force.
In the end, Liang Yi could only suggest a temporary retreat to allow everyone to solidify their rapidly increased cultivation over the past year.
With Wan Tinggui's assistance, several Arrays capable of stripping away the Abyss Demon Qi have now been set up within this Secret Realm, allowing Liang Yi and others to absorb Spiritual Power.
Furthermore, after stripping the Abyss Demon Qi, everyone was shocked to discover that the concentration of Spiritual Power here in the Abyss could reach several dozen times that of the Mystical Mechanism Continent! And this standard was being compared against the Spiritual Power in the core territories of the Super Forces on the Mystical Mechanism Continent.
This discovery nearly dumbfounded them all, even Wan Tinggui, who had done it for the first time, was stunned, not understanding why this was the case.
This way, wouldn't practicing here in the Abyss for one day be comparable to several months of closed-door cultivation on the Mystical Mechanism Continent?
Ultimately, it was Liang Yi who found the blind spot, hazarding a guess at the truth.
Even though Spiritual Power constituted only about one-tenth of the total on the surface, because there were no cultivators on the Abyss Continent to absorb Spiritual Power, the seemingly small one-tenth was, in fact, the cumulative Spiritual Power of three epochs from the Abyss Continent!
After all, the birth of the Abyss was the dark side of the Mystical Mechanism Continent. Aside from having the same land area, the initial total volume of Spiritual Power was naturally the same too, only later transformed by the Abyss Will gradually giving birth to the Abyss Demon Qi!
Thus, the one-tenth of Spiritual Power in the Abyss Continent greatly exceeded the total Spiritual Power of the Mystical Mechanism Continent!
Now, the only ones absorbing Spiritual Power in the entire Abyss Continent were Liang Yi and the others, meaning they were essentially being sustained by the Spiritual Power of an entire continent!
Guessing the reasoning behind this, everyone's eyes brightened, realizing that this nearly amounted to a fortune for them, genius cultivators short on time, allowing them to greatly shorten their cultivation periods.
Under Wan Tinggui's arrangements, Su Youyi and others chose to undergo closed-door cultivation, not only to become stronger as soon as possible but also to give Wan Tinggui more time to prepare.
Basic closed-door cultivation was not very useful for Liang Yi. After briefly organizing his recent gains, he decisively ended his cultivation, taking care of the still-unconscious Old Orange while continuously pondering how to escape from the looming hopeless situation.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Liang Yi casually messed up Old Orange's just-smoothed fur, exposing it to human treachery.
"What ideas could I have? I'm just a demon cultivator at the Eighth Realm, do you expect me to conjure up a grand move to defy the Heavenly Dao?"
Old Orange rolled his eyes, already accustomed to Liang Yi's inexplicable sense of humor.
"Do you?"
Liang Yi's eyes brightened as he pretended to be delighted.
"Go eat a peach!"
Old Orange's expression stiffened as he used Spiritual Power to conjure a plump and juicy peach in mid-air, hurling it at Liang Yi.
"Hey hey, a gentleman uses his words and not his fists, why the hurry..."
Liang Yi easily turned the incoming peach into a state of Spiritual Power, shaking his head a little helplessly.
He was truly getting anxious, unable to think of any way to ensure everyone's safety.
Among the Super Forces, there were no lack of those willing to die, and when the time called for it, elders like Fang Zhi or Emperor Zhou would make their decisions without hesitation.
But such a matter might not be feasible for everyone else – those with cultivation too high couldn't make it, and those too low weren't useful. And if you only considered He Zhiqing and Pang Qingshi, they were irreplaceable, with no one being able to outperform them at the same Realm.
And Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Ke Mengzhan, as the top fighting forces, were also preparing for various unexpected events to avoid insufficient manpower or combat power when destroying the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core.
Wan Tinggui was even more critical to the plan. Without her, Liang Yi and the others would probably still be worrying about a place to hide. As for Old Orange, it goes without saying – everyone might be excused, but it could not be absent.
"In the end, the difference in strength is just too great. If you all were at the Ninth Realm, I might still have a way…"
Old Orange sighed as well, feeling helpless at such a situation - there was a clear disparity in hard strength.
"To reach the Ninth Realm in a short time? Unless there is some incredible opportunity, otherwise, with our current pace, it would still take at least several years!"
A shadow flickered in Liang Yi's eyes – this was his estimate based on the current speed of cultivation. The talent gap that often hinders normal cultivators was the least of Liang Yi's worries, as everyone present was a prodigy with exceptional gifts.
