393 – Absorption

“Little Bamboo! Let’s go home!”

Mad Dog struggled on the ground for a few moments and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He then squeezed out a pained smile, struggled onto his feet, and spoke to the other young beggar.

Tears slid down the face of the other young beggar, and they nodded, gritted their teeth, and supported Mad Dog, staggering toward a ruined temple in the west of the city.

When Mad Dog returned to the ruined temple, he trembled and, without saying a word, collapsed on the floor.

Looking panic-stricken, Little Bamboo took out half a steamed bun with a rancid smell from a crease in her clothing, tore off a small strap from it, and placed it into Mad Dog’s mouth.

The half a steamed bun with a rancid smell is the only harvest that Mad Dog and Little Bamboo managed to obtain today through bagging. It is their food for the day. For beggars like them, food is the only life-saving medicine.

Mad Dog turned red in the face and then spat out blood together with the steamed bun strap with a rancid smell. He kept twitching and struggling.

Little Bamboo sobbed uncontrollably, unsure of what to do.

“So this is my other self of this world!”

Along with a flash of ripples, Shu Feng emerged out of nowhere, walked up to Mad Dog, and looked at his dying other self, and his eyes shimmered with a complicated hue.

Little Bamboo didn’t see Shu Feng.

“Let me see what wishes you have! Then become a part of me!”

Shu Feng stimulated his saint soul, unleashed a secret method, spread the fingers of his hand, and pressed his hand on Mad Dog’s head.

A very strange scene took place. Mad Dog trembled and turned into a bloody ray that merged into Shu Feng’s body.

Pieces of information rushed into Shu Feng’s mind.

“I want to protect Little Bamboo!”

“I want to kill Black Tiger!”

“I want to become a true disciple of the Green Jade Demonic Sect!”

“I want to get Yuan Xian’er!”

“I want to become a Martial Saint!”

Five thoughts echoed in Shu Feng’s mind. At the same time, Mad Dog’s memories flooded into his mind. Mad Dog’s name is Han Feng. According to his memories, he was a beggar since he was little. He and Little Bamboo have been following an old beggar.

After the death of the old beggar, he and Little Bamboo were left alone and had to rely on each other. Little Bamboo is a mute little girl. Since she is small and weak, she has to be protected by Mad Dog.

But Mad Dog has been injured several times by others, and Little Bamboo spared no effort to rescue him. The two depend on one another for survival. Little Bamboo is the most important person in Mad Dog’s heart.

Shu Feng felt that there is an extra soul in his saint soul. It and his saint soul attract each other. But at the same time, there is a slight disharmony.

Shu Feng made a promise in his heart, “These five wishes are not an issue! I will fulfill your wishes, so integrate and become a part of me!”

The soul remained unchanged, having no intention of integrating into Shu Feng’s soul!”

“In this situation, I can either forcibly crush Mad Dog’s soul or fulfill his wishes and have his soul actively integrate into mine. Forcibly crushing his soul isn’t optimal!”

Shu Feng looked pensive. Then his figure fluttered, and he transformed into Mad Dog and lay on the ground.

Since Shu Feng used a secret method to absorb Mad Dog’s soul, he is able to freely switch between Mad Dog’s appearance and his own appearance. This is one of the things that makes this precious secret method so impressive.

Many top human powerhouses of Blue Star’s human clan have betrayed the human clan at the most critical moment because they have been replaced by Hollow Demons.

After transforming into Mad Dog, Shu Feng opened his eyes, startling Little Bamboo. She threw herself into Shu Feng’s arms and burst into tears.

A sour and rancid smell came from Little Bamboo, making it uncomfortable for Shu Feng to breathe.

“Little Bamboo! I have somewhere to go. Stay here and don’t go anywhere. This person will protect you!”

Shu Feng snapped his fingers. Along with a flash of ripple, the rabbit demi-human Luna appeared in front of Shu Feng.

Little Bamboo looked at Luna with amazement. Luna is one of the most beautiful women she has ever seen.

“Greetings, master!”

Luna smiled enchantingly at Shu Feng and uttered thusly.

Shu Feng said flatly, “Protect her! If anyone tries to harm her, kill them!”

Luna possesses Spirit Venerable realm combat power. But in this world, she is being suppressed to a large extent as well. Yet she is not only a divinity life form, but her physical constitution and skills have also been restored to 40%. As such, even Great Spirit Master realm experts may not be a match for her.

Han Feng’s enemy, Black Tiger, isn’t even a Martial Apprentice. He’s fundamentally no match for Luna.

Luna responded respectfully, “Yes! Master!”

Shu Feng stepped into the darkness and disappeared.

In a remote small courtyard house in the west of Guangliu City, Black Tiger and a dozen able-bodied beggars gulped down meat and drank liquor from bowls.

In a corner of the courtyard house, there are dozens of disabled children, with broken arms and legs, curled up.

The disabled children were abducted by Black Tiger and the dozen-plus able-bodied beggars to serve as props to accumulate wealth. They were the ones who crippled the children, all because disabled children invoke more compassion from people and can bring in more money.

A beggar with yellow teeth and a tall figure asked, “Boss, why don’t we go tie up a woman and have a good time? We brothers have been celibate for several days already!”

Gazes of expectation fell on Black Tiger. These beggars kidnap women and have fun with them once or twice. After they had enough, they kill the women and discard the body in the wilderness.

Black Tiger shook his head and said, “No way! There haven’t been any outsider women lately! It’s too risky to attack the locals. If you want to play with women, go find some prostitutes. Don’t cause me any trouble.”

Most locals have some connections. Once they are killed, it will catch the attention of the government. As for women from other places, they have no relatives or friends here. Even if they are killed and thrown away, no one will investigate it.

Black Tiger is very cautious, which allowed him to become a beggar boss of Guangliu City and even buy a small courtyard house.

“Black Tiger, you are really cautious! It’s a shame, but today is the day you die!”

A cold voice rang from the side, and a young man walked out of the shadows and looked at Black Tiger indifferently.

“Mad Dog, it’s you! I showed you great mercy and let you go, yet here you are! You’re courting death! Kill him!”

Black Tiger’s gaze turned cold, his eyes flickered with murderous intent, and he ordered coldly.

There were many spectators before, so Black Tiger didn’t have Han Feng killed. Now that the small fry Han Feng has come to cause trouble, he naturally wants to kill him, as to set an example to the others and cement his dignity.

Godly Base – 392

392 – A Big Shot

Shu Feng didn’t give chase, allowing the Black Wolf Bandits to escape into the forest.

The Realm of Erosion is replete with danger. Shu Feng doesn’t want to give chase rashly.

After suppressing his injuries, Xiao Qing approached Shu Feng and spoke with a grateful expression, “Sir Wu Ren, thank you very much for your help!”

Shu Feng responded indifferently, “It was nothing much!”

Xiao Qing said with a polite expression, “We have prepared two carriages! I would like to invite you and young lady An to take them and have a rest.”

In the large caravan, there are two luxurious carriages specially prepared for Xiao Qing and Hai Gongfeng. However, Shu Feng possesses dreadful combat power. He defeated the Black Wolf Bandits by himself. Young lady An, on the other hand, is an even more mysterious figure. Xiao Qing and Hai Gongfeng are no fools. They naturally know what they need to do.

“Greetings, young lady An!”

Shu Feng nodded. He walked up to young lady An, who exudes a mysterious charm, bowed to her in salute, and spoke thusly.

According to Shu Feng’s spirit sense, young lady An is an ordinary Spirit Master realm existence. However, he can instinctively perceive that she isn’t a simple character. She possesses a god realm charm ability at the least.

“Mhm!”

An swept Shu Feng with her eyes and then boarded her luxurious carriage.

“This is a big shot! The Realm of Erosion is really dangerous. You can easily encounter a big shot here.”

When An glanced at him, Shu Feng felt as if she could see through him, and he broke out in a cold sweat from his back. He once again confirmed that An, this stunning young woman with mysterious origin, is someone who can’t be provoked.

Seven days later, in a wilderness.

“After another 1,000 meters, we will enter Xuanwu World. The world laws will change! Please pay attention!”

After Xiao Qing gave a warning, the caravan promptly continued moving forward.

The caravan traveled for 1,000 meters and directly entered Xuanwu World.

“So this is Xuanwu World! The world suppression is quite strong here!”

As soon as Shu Feng entered Xuanwu World, he felt as if shackles wound around him. The immense spirit force in his body was suppressed and could hardly circulate.

Of course, in Xuanwu World, it is not impossible to operate spirit force. But the effect of using 10,000 points of spirit force here can’t even compare to the effect of using one point of spirit force on Blue Star.

“Spirit force has been sealed. The legendary skills have also been sealed. My physical constitution has been reduced to one-tenth. My current combat power has dropped to around the level of a Great Spirit Master.”

“But as long I’m given time, the base space can quickly analyze the laws here and let me recover my strength.” Shu Feng’s eyes flashed.

When they entered Xuanwu World, the mysterious young lady An left her carriage and disappeared.

Shu Feng and the other travelers also left one after another. They opted not to follow the caravan of the Haowei Escort Agency.

Ten days later, inside a cave in a barren mountain.

“Now that the analysis reached 40%, my physical constitution was restored to 40%, the power of my skills was restored to 30%. As for spirit force, it was restored to 20%. I should be comparable to a martial arts Grandmaster in terms of overall combat power.”

Shu Feng quietly evaluated his combat power.

The laws of Xuanwu World are completely different from those of Blue Star. On Blue Star, a powerhouse using one point of spirit force can defeat a powerhouse of the same realm using 10,000 points of xuan qi. In Xuanwu World, this rule is reversed, that is, one point of xuan qi can defeat 10,000 points of spirit force.

In Xuanwu World, cultivators are divided into Martial Apprentice, Martial Practitioner, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, and Martial Saint. By relying on his incredibly strong physical constitution, Shu Feng can somewhat contend against martial arts Grandmasters of this world.

“It’s time to start searching for the me of this world!”

According to the secret method imparted by Four Absolutes Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao, Shu Feng closed his eyes and recited a strange chant, causing his soul to shake.

“There! In that direction!”

After an hour, Shu Feng opened his eyes and looked toward the northwest.

Within Guangliu City.

A beautiful young woman dressed in green, with black hair, crystalline skin, an oval face, big eyes, a gorgeous appearance, and a haughty temperament, galloped on horseback.

As the beautiful female rider galloped through the city, everyone dodged to the side.

“What a beautiful fairy! If I could just say a few words to her, then even if I died right now, I would have no regrets!”

A ragged young beggar with a bruised face and messy hair looked at the beautiful rider in a daze and spoke thusly.

Beside the young beggar, there is another young beggar. The latter is quietly watching the former.

A middle-aged beggar sneered, “Mad Dog! That’s Yuan Xian’er, a daughter of the lord of Guangliu City. She is the No. 1 beauty of Guangliu City and a true disciple of the Green Jade Demonic Sect. Her fiancĂ© is Mysteries Demonic Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Mysteries Demonic Sect. If you want to get her attention, you have to become a Martial Saint first.”

Mad Dog raised his voice and said, “Then I will become a Martial Saint! And embrace her and the world.”

“Found you, the future Martial Saint! Mad Dog, you fucker, you dare come to my turf to beg. You’re seeking death! Beat him up!”

A burly middle-aged man walked out from a side and glanced at Mad Dog, and his eyes flashed fiercely. He waved his hand and barked.

Five beggars lunged at Mad Dog.”

“Black Tiger!”

When Mad Dog saw the middle-aged man, his eyes shrank, and he pulled the other young beggar beside him and ran away like crazy.

Black Tiger is a beggar boss from near the west gate of Guangliu City, and he has a dozen-plus able-bodied beggars and dozens of disabled beggars under him. He is notorious among beggars. If you fall into his hands, you’ll be dead meat.

The middle-aged beggar and other two beggars scurried away, not daring to get involved.

Mad Dog has stunted development and is short in stature. Furthermore, he is pulling the other young beggar. Naturally, he can’t run fast enough. The five beggars soon caught up to them.

A tall beggar grabbed Mad Dog and threw him on the ground.

The other four beggars revealed cruel smiles and attacked Mad Dog and the other young beggar with sticks.

Mad Dog hugged the other young beggar, protecting the other party with his thin body.

Due to the beating, Mad Dog trembled and spewed out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the other young beggar and caused the other party to twitch.

“Mad Dog, I’m warning you, you stinky kid. Don’t let me see you here again. Otherwise, I’ll kill you. Let’s go!”

Black Tiger walked up to Mad Dog, spat phlegm on his head, and spoke coldly, and then led his subordinates away.

Temple of Creation – 22

22 – Breakthrough

The next day, on the Reincarnation Peak’s square, a bunch of disciples gathered there.

They all looked excited and expectant.

Fang Yi was no exception. While standing in the crowd, he waited patiently.

At this time, there was a ripple in the sky, and Liu Suifeng appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

He swept the crowd with his eyes, an indifferent look on his face.

“To be able to enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm, this is your good fortune. I hope you can seize this opportunity.”

With that, Liu Suifeng fished out a token from a fold in his clothing and threw it, and the token spun quickly in the air.

At the same time, an azure beam ejected out from the highest peak of the Taixuan Sect and flowed into the token.

In an instant, the token turned into an aperture that looks like a portal leading into ancient times.

“Go in! This trial by fire will last one month. You should cultivate diligently.”

The crowd listened to his words impatiently, then entered the aperture.

Fang Yi only felt the scenery in front of him change.

He appeared in a valley full of blooming flowers and shrouded in rich spiritual qi, whose concentration is many times higher than that of the outside world. The sky here is covered in auspicious clouds and brilliant light.

“Wow! The concentration of spiritual qi here is so high. If one cultivates here, their speed will be several times faster than in the outside world.”

“Ha-ha-ha! That’s great. While in here, I can have a breakthrough soon.”

Everyone was excited and ecstatic.

Fang Yi, however, has no time to pay attention to this. Before Fang Wuxin comes in, he must leave this area as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he is caught by the other party, he will be in trouble.

Fang Yi chose a direction at random and darted away.

He didn’t stop until he was certain no one was following him.

“It’s indeed a great place!” After sensing his surroundings, Fang Yi uttered sincerely.

In his spiritual sea, the spiritual qi vortices absorbed spiritual qi like crazy and grew several times faster than in the outside world.

The four spiritual qi vortices are close to their limit. At this speed, Fang Yi feels that he will break through to 5th layer Spiritual Sea in a couple of days. He is confident he can catch up to Fang Wuxin in a month. By then…

Roar!

Just as Fang Yi let his imagination run wild, a deep animal roar sounded.

Fang Yi was startled. He saw a three-meter-tall black bear staring at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes. Thanks to the jet-black fur, the black bear is hard to detect in the thicket, as if it were a stealthy assassin.

4th rank direbeast — Black Longpalm Bear!

The Qingxuan Secret Realm is indeed exceptional. Fang Yi just entered the secret realm, yet he already met a 4th rank direbeast.

Although Fang Yi is no longer cares about 4th rank direbeasts. However, this is only the periphery of the secret realm.

Roar!

The Black Longpalm Bear roared and rushed toward Fang Yi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the Black Longpalm Bear ran, the whole earth seemed to tremble. With its huge body, although it appears to be clumsy, but in fact, it is very fast.

The Black Longpalm Bear is huge and overbearingly strong. Fang Yi isn’t so foolish as to meet it head-on.

At this moment, he leaped up and swung his sword.

“Snowflake Flutters!”

The Black Longpalm Bear completely ignored the sword. It swung a huge paw the size of a washbasin, attacking Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was startled, surprised by the Black Longpalm Bear’s recklessness. He dodged at once.

Crack!

The huge paw slammed into a big tree, and the big tree snapped in half.

Roar!

When its attack failed, the Black Longpalm Bear was furious. It swung its huge paws one after another.

Bang! Bang!

Fang Yi’s figure flashed repeatedly as he easily dodged the attacks. It’s not that easy for a mere 4th rank direbeast to harm him.

The Black Longpalm Bear has a thick hide.

Fang Yi intends to use the direbeast to practice his swordsmanship. After using the Snowflakes Sword Art twice, the Black Longpalm Bear was covered in wounds.

Then, Fang Yi used the Drifting Clouds Sword Art several times. He has fully comprehended the first two forms of the Drifting Cloud Sword Art — Drifting Clouds and Flowing Water and Murky Clouds Blot out the Sky.

He also made some headway regarding the third form, Rising Clouds and Falling Rain.

For this sword move, a hail of sword qi has to be unleashed, which is extremely hard to execute. It isn’t something that can be achieved overnight.

At this moment, the Black Longpalm Bear, who is covered in blood, has gone completely wild.

“Beast, you can go and die now!”

Realizing that there is no point in continuing to use the direbeast to practice, Fang Yi swung his sword.

Slash!

In the next moment, a flurry of sword blurs emerged.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several sword blurs stabbed the Black Longpalm Bear’s vital parts, and blood poured out.

Roar!

The Black Longpalm Bear faced the sky and roared. It unleashed bellows filled with unwillingness and thrashed about. After a while, there was no more noise.

Consider yourself unlucky!

Fang Yi smiled faintly and stabbed with his sword, and a fist-sized bear gallbladder appeared in his hand.

The bear gallbladder is the most valuable part in the Black Longpalm Bear’s body. After examining it for a moment, Fang Yi placed the gallbladder into the storage ring.

After he finished handling things, Fang Yi quickly left this place.

The smell of blood might attract other direbeasts. If it were just 4th rank direbeasts, then that wouldn’t matter. But he is afraid that it will attract more powerful direbeasts.

Fang Yi knows too little about the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

Therefore, he has no choice but to be extra careful.

In the next few days, Fang Yi decided to slow down and carefully explore the secret realm while cultivating.

Although the deeper you go, the more medicinal ingredients and materials of heaven and earth there will be. But in the same fashion, the more and more powerful direbeasts will appear.

Fang Yi is aware of how strong he is.

He should have no problems dealing with 5th rank direbeasts. However, if he encounters 6th rank direbeasts, he will die for sure.

At present, the thing he can do is to break through to 5th layer Spiritual Sea as soon as possible. By then, with the Silver Scales Soft Armor and the Vast Sky, Fang Yi should be able to contend against 6th rank direbeasts.

Five days passed in a flash.

In these five days, Fang Yi cut down at least a dozen plus direbeasts. But most of them were 4th rank direbeasts. He met only one 5th rank direbeast.

Of course, his greatest achievement was the spiritual qi in his body.

At this moment, the spiritual qi vortices in hi spiritual sea have reached their limit and may break through at any time.

Fang Yi directly consumed four or five Qi Gathering Pills.

All of a sudden, a huge amount of spiritual qi flowed into the spiritual sea. The four spiritual qi vortices shook at the same time and then split and recombined.

“5th layer Spiritual Sea!”

Breakthrough! Fang Yi was overjoyed.

Compared with the last breakthrough, this time took less time. This was not only due to the highly concentrated spiritual qi of the Qingxuan Secret Realm, but even more so due to the Growth Potion.

The two bottles of Growth Potion brought him great benefits.

Fang Yi estimates that he won’t need to expend spiritual qi to grow his spiritual sea until he breaks through to the 7th layer Spiritual Sea.

This means that he will reach the 7th layer Spiritual Sea at a faster speed.

It’s time to go deeper!

After performing breathing regulation, Fang Yi carefully moved forward.

Godly Base – 391

391 – Killing Tu Jia

The matchlessly beautiful An glanced at Black Wolf Tu Jia with her pretty eyes, and her pretty eyes, which seem to be wrapped in a mysterious veil, shimmered with a hint of displeasure.

“That despicable Black Wolf Tu Jia dares to harm goddess An! I’ll kill him! Even if my identity gets exposed, I’ll still kill him!”

Shu Feng suddenly felt wisps of malice rise in his heart, and he stared at Black Wolf Tu Jia with intense murderous intent.

In the next moment, the divinity inside his body burst out with abstruse light that enabled him to sober up in an instant.

“Despite my firm mind, I was still bewitched. Young lady An must be a powerful big shot! She may even be a god realm powerhouse!”

A storm was set off in Shu Feng’s heart.

Shu Feng has already surpassed many Hollow Demon dukes in terms of physical constitution. His powerful psyche, terrifying saint soul, and mysterious divinity provided him an astonishingly firm mind. Even a demigod realm powerhouse may not be able to bewitch him.

A glance from young lady An was enough to make Shu Feng’s mind fluctuate. Only a god realm being possesses such terrifying might.

Shu Feng quickly swept everyone present with his gaze.

The eyes of everyone present surged with ire, and powerful spirit pressure diffused from them.

“Black Wolf Tu Jia, how dare you disrespect goddess An! You’re courting death! Kill him!”

Xiao Qing’s eyes flashed with a shade of anger, and he barked.

The warriors of the Haowei Escort Agency opened fire at the Black Wolf Bandits.

The Black Wolf Bandits gripped their spirit guns and returned fire.

Xiao Qing’s eyes flickered with a fierce shade, and he stepped forward. A green cloud appeared at his feet. He swung his right hand, and, as if it had transformed into a green cloud, it pressed down on Black Wolf Tu Jia.

By relying on the Green Cloud Palm, Green Cloud Hand Xiao Qing defeated a dozen-plus Spirit Grandmaster realm powerhouses and killed no fewer than three.

Hai Gongfeng’s eyes flickered with a cold light. The fingers of his hands hidden in his large sleeves flicked, and 10 invisible poisonous needles ejected out and shot toward the eyes, neck, heart, and other vital points of Black Wolf Tu Jia like shooting stars.

The concealed weapon invisible poisonous needles used by Hai Gongfeng are insidious and elusive and contain a strong poison. When stabbed by these needles, a Great Grandmaster realm powerhouse will be stumped.

Xiao Qing and Hai Gongfeng are both top Spirit Grandmasters. When working together, they can even kill a Great Grandmaster.

“In order to give the leader of the Haowei Escort Agency face, I was going to give you a way to survive! But since you’re tired of living, then don’t blame me!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia revealed a ferocious smile, and powerful xuan qi characteristic of Xuanwu World erupted and condensed into a black wolf phantom behind him.

“You Blue Star fools! To use martial arts against me, that’s really idiotic! Only xuan qi is the foundation of martial arts!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia grinned and extended his hand, and the black wolf phantom behind him extended a paw toward the green cloud.

Black Wolf Tu Jia’s hand crushed the green cloud constructed from spirit force and then struck Xiao Qing in the chest.

Xiao Qing’s complexion suddenly changed greatly. His body twisted strangely a dozen-plus times, and he retreated briskly.

A large piece of flesh suddenly fell off Xiao Qing’s chest, and blood spurted out.

Black Wolf Tu Jia swung his hand, and the black wolf phantom behind him unleashed black xuan qi that flung the invisible poisonous needles away.

“Go to hell!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he appeared in front of Xiao Qing like a bolt of lightning and extended his hand toward the other party’s heart.

“It’s over!”

Xiao Qing’s face was pale. He gazed at the hand, and wisps of despair welled up inside him. Black Wolf Tu Jia’s xuan qi slammed into his body and frenziedly destroyed the spirit force in his body, making it difficult for him to move. He finally understands how Black Wolf Tu Jia was able to slaughter several large caravans without losing his life.

“You lowly ant, to dare profane the noble goddess An, you should die!”

Along with a cold voice, Shu Feng took a step, and the earth shook and surged with cracks.

Thanks to the fearsome recoil, Shu Feng was catapulted toward Black Wolf Tu Jia like a cannon shell.

“Another piece of trash has come to die!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia’s eyes flashed ferociously. Looking like he transformed into a direwolf, his right hand blurred and shot toward Shu Feng from a strange angle.

Shu Feng, in turn, sent his palm smacking toward Black Wolf Tu Jia’s head.

The Black Wolf Claw Art cultivated by Black Wolf Tu Jia is an outstanding claw art. Strengthened by xuan qi, Black Wolf Tu Jia’s hand became erratic and strangely evaded Shu Feng’s hand. His arm suddenly extended by a large fraction, and then his hand slammed into Shu Feng’s chest.

“It’s done! Although this guy’s physical constitution is pretty good, but his martial arts are too lacking!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia’s eyes flickered with a hint of disdain. The fingers of his hand stabbed at Shu Feng’s chest as if sharp knives, which can easily tear even the armor of heavy tanks apart.

Ding!

As if they have stabbed Divine Essence Gold, the fingers of Black Wolf Tu Jia’s hand twisted and broke, and waves of intense pain transmitted from them.

“Not good! This freak’s defense is too strong!”

An ominous premonition welled up in Black Wolf Tu Jia’s heart, and he retreated briskly.

Bang!

Shu Feng smacked Black Wolf Tu Jia’s head with his palm. Black Wolf Tu Jia’s robust head burst instantly, and red and white matter splashed on the ground.

Xiao Qing’s complexion suddenly changed, and his eyes flickered with a dignified shade, “Strong! This guy called Wu Ren is really strong!”

“Kill him! Avenge the boss!”

“Kill him!”

“…”

The eyes of the Black Wolf Bandits flashed with a ferocious shade, and they opened fire at Shu Feng.

Spirit force bullets knocked into Shu Feng’s body and then ricocheted. They couldn’t even break his skin.

“It hurts a little! Furthermore, I lack large area of effect means!”

Shu Feng furrowed his eyebrows. His figure fluttered, and he appeared in front of a Black Wolf Bandit and smashed the other party’s head with his palm.

Shu Feng’s figure flashed, and he rushed into the midst of the Black Wolf Bandits and unleashed a massacre.

After a dozen plus Black Wolf Bandits were killed, their ranks collapsed, and they fled in different directions.

Temple of Creation – 21

21 – Old Drunkard’s Entrustment

The Qingxuan Secret Realm.

Shui Rufeng drew in a sharp breath, and shock filled his heart.

The crowd went into a frenzy.

“Did I hear it right? The top 100 will be able to enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm?”

“Since it was the inner sect’s Eldest Senior Disciple Brother who said it, then it must be true. This time the sect has pulled out all the stops.”

“I’ll be damned. If I had known this beforehand, I would have doubled my cultivation time. I heard that the concentration of spiritual qi in the Qingxuan Secret Realm is really high. If you cultivate there, you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

“Exactly! However, it’s said that there are direbeasts running wild in the secret realm! It’s extremely dangerous there! I can’t say for certain whether it’s a blessing or a curse!”

A cacophony of noise rose from the crowd.

Fang Yi couldn’t help creasing his eyebrows.

He knows very little about the Qingxuan Secret Realm. Among the top 100 disciples, his cultivation base is at the very bottom.

It would be extremely dangerous for him if there were really direbeasts running wild in the secret realm.

Moreover, the ones who pose the greatest danger to him are not direbeasts, but the disciples who will enter the secret realm together with him. Fang Wuxin is the perfect example.

However, even though he knows this, Fang Yi can’t miss this opportunity. The temptation is just too great.

For now, he can only take advantage of the next couple of days to make preparations.

After the test was over, Fang Yi impatiently returned to his residence.

When he looked at the generous rewards, especially the two bottles of Growth Potion, he was very excited.

Fang Yi picked up a bottle, paused for a moment, and then swallowed its contents.

A cool sensation came from his throat and extended to his spiritual sea.

In an instant, the potion turned into a tremendous amount of energy that collided with the spiritual sea like a wounded beast.

“Damn it!” Fang Yi cursed secretly.

The violent collision made him feel unbearable pain, and large beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

The medicinal force was completely out of control. As it run amuck, the medicinal force melted the foggy impurities around the spiritual sea, prompting the spiritual sea to grow.

Fang Yi had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

Fortunately, the pain didn’t last long. Along with the consumption of the medicinal force, the pain weakened and finally disappeared.

At this moment, the spiritual sea has expanded, from the size of a football to the size of a basketball.

When he saw the outcome, Fang Yi felt a sense of gratification. The pain he just suffered wasn’t in vain.

Fang Yi put the other bottle of Growth Potion away and began to cultivate.

It is not advisable to take more than one bottle of Growth Potion at one time, or else it will be harmful to the spiritual sea. Not to mention that no one would want to experience such pain a second time right away.

In the spiritual sea, the spiritual qi vortices span rapidly.

When the spiritual sea is wide enough, there is no need to consume spiritual qi to grow the spiritual sea. The spiritual qi vortices expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye and became increasingly denser.

At this rate, Fang Yi believes he will be able to break through to 5th layer Spiritual Sea in a few days.

At this moment, he just wants to upgrade his strength as soon as possible, so that he can better protect himself when he enters the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

Time passed slowly as Fang Yi cultivated like mad.

In the past couple of days, Fang Wuxin hasn’t come to bother him. Fang Yi knows that Fang Wuxin must be preparing to deal with him in the secret realm.

Seeing as tomorrow is the day he will enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm, Fang Yi stopped cultivating and began to prepare.

In fact, the scope of his preparation is very limited. Fortunately, he received 10,000 sect contribution points by entering the top 10, which he can use to exchange for some things. In addition, he still has to go to the market to get his sword.

After contemplating for a while, Fang Yi went down the mountain and proceeded toward the market.

When he arrived at the Many Treasures Pavilion, he went directly to Old Drunkard’s smithy.

Old Drunkard was busy. When he saw Fang Yi, he drank a mouthful of liquor, then spoke with a slurred speech.

“Here you are, boy!”

Fang Yi promptly smiled and then handed him two jars of fine liquor.

“Take a look at your sword!”

Following Old Drunkard’s gaze, Fang Yi saw a rather exquisite-looking sword.

Fang Yi’s expression inadvertently brightened up, and he carefully picked up the sword and pulled it out of its sheath.

Slash!

The silver-colored sword looked especially dazzling under the light of the smithy’s fire.

“Because of the limitations of the materials, this sword could only reach pinnacle-stage 4th tier.” At this time, Old Drunkard stopped what he was doing, then took a few gulps of liquor and uttered.

Pinnacle-stage 4th tier!

Fang Yi was overjoyed. This has exceeded his expectations.

“Thank you, Old Drunkard!” He thanked promptly.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Fang Yi swung the sword a few times, and it traced arcs in the air. He was unable to tear his eyes away from it.

“From today on, you will be called Vast Sky!”

“Vast Sky! A good name.” Old Drunkard nodded, then glanced at Fang Yi and continued to say, “Boy, seeing as you have come to pick up your sword today, are you going to enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm tomorrow?”

Fang Yi was taken aback, then nodded.

“I was lucky and obtained the chance to enter the secret realm.”

“Would you mind doing me a favor?” Old Drunkard asked.

“A favor?” Fang Yi was surprised. Although he doesn’t know what Old Drunkard means by this, but he still agreed: “Old Drunkard, feel free to speak. So long as it’s within my capability, I will naturally help you.”

Old Drunkard smiled with satisfaction and uttered, “In the Qingxuan Secret Realm, there is the Ice Valley, which contains Ice Stones. I hope you can bring me some Ice Stones back.”

“Is that it?” Fang Yi asked.

“Yes. However, there are direbeasts called Ice Beasts in the Ice Valley, and they are extremely ferocious. I’m afraid you won’t be able to deal with them with your current strength. However, so long as you don’t go deep into the valley, you should be fine.”

“Okay!” Fang Yi nodded.

Next, Old Drunkard explained some characteristics of the Ice Stones.

Fang Yi nodded yet was surprised in his heart.

Judging by Old Drunkard’s words, he seems to be quite familiar with the Qingxuan Secret Realm. Fang Yi couldn’t help but wonder.

However, he didn’t probe. Everyone has their secrets.

After saying goodbye to Old Drunkard, Fang Yi went back to the sect.

Next, he made a trip to the Pill Vault and redeemed some healing and life-saving pills.

These pills cost Fang Yi more than half of his sect contribution points. This is because he received quite a few Qi Gathering Pills as reward. Otherwise, the sect contribution points wouldn’t be sufficient.

However, this is necessary, and Fang Yi didn’t feel distressed either.

There are many dangers in the Qingxuan Secret Realm. Without sufficient preparation, one may even lose their life there. By then, no matter how many sect contribution points one has, it will all go to waste.

After he was done with his errands, Fang Yi returned to his residence.

Although the Qingxuan Secret Realm is full of danger, it is also a great opportunity. It has a high concentration of spiritual qi. With his speed of absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, he will get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating.

But before that…

Fang Yi took out the other bottle of the Growth Potion.

It’s time. After cultivating for a couple of days, Fang Yi decided to take the Growth Potion again.

Only when his spiritual sea is wide enough, only then can his cultivation base be upgraded more rapidly.

Fang Yi poured the Growth Potion into his mouth without hesitation.

Godly Base – 390

390 – Strange

The eyes of the bald man flashed ferociously, and he drew a blade and swung it. A black blade ray cut Liu Ming in two.

At the moment when Liu Ming was killed, black blood shot out of his chest and splashed in all directions.

The bald man unleashed a green spirit membrane.

The black blood penetrated the green spirit membrane and landed on the bald man.

A child face without eyes suddenly appeared on the bald man’s body.

The black blood that spurted out from Liu Ming’s body also splattered on other travelers, who also grew child faces without eyes, emitting a strange aura.

The crowd dispersed in panic. No one dared to approach Liu Ming, his junior disciple sister, and the other people who were contaminated.

Xiao Qing calmly took out a black chain and threw it.

The black chain quickly extended like a venomous snake and transformed into a stream of light that instantly wrapped around the bald man and chained him to the ground.

The warriors of the Haowei Escort Agency also took out black chains and threw them at the scattered travelers who were contaminated with the black blood.

Black chains wrapped around these travelers and bound them tightly.

The tightly bound travelers fell to the ground and twisted and struggled madly.

The child faces that appeared on the travelers opened their mouths, bit these travelers, and devoured their flesh and blood.

After the flesh and blood of these travelers were completely consumed, the child faces turned into black smoke and disappeared.

“Hee-hee!”

“Ha-ha!”

“…”

The strange laughter echoed outside, as if numerous dark beings were peering into the barrier from the darkness beyond the light.

The bronze lamp barrier firmly guarded everyone inside.

Shu Feng looked at the bronze lamp and mused, “That barrier is a light and purification barrier! It seems that this barrier can barely cope with the strange beings.”

The light barrier erected by the bronze lamp is very weak. Any given Spirit Master can easily break through it. The darkness in the Realm of Erosion contains terrifying beings, which a simple light barrier can’t block.

However, these weird beings won’t step into the light barrier lightly.

The weird bursts of laughter lasted for a whole hour and then disappeared abruptly.

“From now on, be quiet! Don’t say a word! Otherwise, go to hell! I will personally kill any fool who disobeys. Such fools will only endanger everyone!”

Xiao Qing took out a clipboard and wrote on it, and then lifted it up for everyone to see.

Everyone nodded.

The deaths of Liu Ming and them made the travelers experience the terror of the Realm of Erosion. Some of the travelers have previously walked safe paths of the Realm of Erosion alone and underestimated the danger of the Realm of Erosion.

The strange incident just now made everyone understand the danger and terror of the Realm of Erosion.

After a silent night, the next morning, a faint red light fell from the sky, making it so that the Realm of Erosion is no longer completely dark.

After breakfast, the caravan proceeded to move cautiously.

Once the caravan traveled for 20 kilometers, thousands of Black Dog Hollows suddenly emerged from a nearby mountainous forest.

The 200 warriors of the Haowei Escort Agency are Spirit Master realm experts, and they are skilled in close combat and ranged combat. After losing 1,000-plus corpses to frenzied fire, the thousands of Black Dog Hollows quickly fled in confusion.

The Black God Hollow corpses were quickly dissected by the warriors of the Haowei Escort Agency, removing their blood and claws. The other parts were discarded.

Shu Feng stood quietly aside and absorbed the scattered souls.

In order to synthesize a saint soul, it requires a large amount of origin force and a massive amount of souls. Saint souls are essential resources for the synthesis of Spirit Saint realm synthetic beasts.

After leaving the Hollow Demon Battlefield, this is the first time Shu Feng absorbed so many souls.

In the following days, several waves of strange monsters unique to the Realm of Hollow Demons appeared. As soon as those monsters appeared, they were easily annihilated by the Haowei Escort Agency. Shu Feng just quietly absorbed the scattered souls.

On the tenth day, while passing by a strange forest.

“Stay alert!”

Xiao Qing barked in a low voice, and the entire caravan quickly entered a state of alert. They gripped their weapons and stared coldly at the forest.

“So it’s friends from the Haowei Escort Agency! This meeting must be fate. We brothers are a bit strapped. Leave something behind and I’ll let you go!”

A tall and muscular man with long limbs, a head full of messy hair, a beard, a somewhat ugly appearance, a valiant temperament, and a black wolf tattoo on his chest came out of the forest.

Following the tall and muscular man, 300-plus warriors clad in black armor emerged from the forest and pointed at the caravan with the spirit guns in their hands.

Xiao Qing’s gaze fell on the black wolf tattoo on the chest of the tall and muscular man, and his eyes constricted slightly, saying, “Black Wolf Tu Jia!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia is a tyrannically strong bandit that appears on the road leading to Xuanwu World from Xuanlei City. He is a notorious bandit who led his Black Wolf Bandits to slaughter several strong caravans.

Black Wolf Tu Jia smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t expect the reputable Green Cloud Hand Xiao Qing of the Haowei Escort Agency to know my name. It’s such an honor.”

Xiao Qing pondered for a moment and said, “300 Spirit Stones, what do you think?”

Black Wolf Tu Jia is extremely fierce and tough. Xiao Qing isn’t certain that he can beat him.

Black Wolf Tu Jia smiled coldly: “300 Spirit Stones? Are you giving alms to beggars? You can earn at least 30,000 Spirit Stones from this trip.”

Xiao Qing’s eyes flickered with a hue of decisiveness, and he pulled out a blue 4th tier spirit gun and said coldly, “3,000 Spirit Stones! Tu Jia, if you don’t agree, then we can only fight!”

“Fine! 3,000 Spirit Stones, so be it! However, I want that woman!”

Black Wolf Tu Jia’s gaze fell on An. He pointed at her, and his eyes flickered with a shade of greed.

Temple of Creation – 20

20 – Qingxuan Secret Realm

Time went by, and the test approached the end.

Among the disciples who took the test next, although quite a few had outstanding results, but they couldn’t compare to the three great freaks. However, their results were comparable to that of Fang Yi.

Whether Fang Yi can enter the top 10 is still up in the air at the moment. He can only wait for the results to come out.

The last disciple walked out of the testing space, and the test concluded.

At this time, the people’s expressions varied — there was expectation, frustration, excitement, and dejection.

Although the final ranking hasn’t come out yet, but everyone already has a general idea about their achievements.

“Everyone, wait a moment. The elders are tallying the results. Once the ranks are determined, the rewards will be distributed right away.” Shui Rufeng spoke in a loud voice.

When they heard these words, the crowd seemed even more impatient.

Meanwhile, in the palace high in the clouds, the old man was meditating, his eyes closed.

At this time, the young man in blue hurriedly walked in.

“Ancestor, the outer sect’s test has concluded. Here is the list of the top 100 disciples.” The young man in blue bowed and handed the register in his hands.

“Oh!” The old man opened his eyes. Without him doing anything, the register flew into his hand on its own.

“In this test, who do you think is the most likely?” The old man asked faintly.

“Ancestor, I observed the test in secret. In my opinion, Lin Shaohan, who is ranked first, should be the most likely.”

“He is famous in the outer sect. He, the second place, and the third place are known as the three great freaks in the outer sect. He is a new disciple. Before, he was slightly inferior to the other two. This time, however, he took the lead. He is a bit suspicious.”

The old man nodded, but his eyes remained on the register.

“Ancestor, although Lin Shaohan is suspicious, but with his cultivation base, I’m afraid…” The young man in blue trailed off.

He doesn’t believe that these disciples of meager strength could comprehend the 12th layer of the Tidal Art. But there’s nothing he can do, since the ancestor believes it to be possible.

The old man shook his head and smiled. He closed his eyes, and the 100 names on the register flashed through his mind one by one.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

“Ancestor, have you found anything?” The young man in blue asked cautiously.

“If only it were that easy.” The old man smiled lightly and answered.

“This is just a preliminary screening. The disciples on the list will enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm for a trial by fire in three days.”

The Qingxuan Secret Realm!

The young man in blue was taken aback.

This is not an ordinary place, but an exceptional trial-by-fire site established by the sect. The concentration of spiritual qi in this place is a number of times higher than in the outside world.

However, in order to open this secret realm, a tremendous price needs to be paid.

In general, the sect only opens this secret realm once every three years, and there is a limited number of slots. Only disciples who either made great contributions to the sect or have outstanding talent have the qualification to enter.

But this time…

It seems that the ancestor intends to open the secret realm ahead of time. This time’s test was just a large-scale screening. At the same time, it also provided him with an understanding regarding everyone’s strength.

The real test should be in the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

“Ancestor, there are 100 people on the list. Wouldn’t it be too expensive to send so many people into the secret realm all at once?” After contemplating for a moment, the young man in blue reminded carefully.

The old man smiled unconcernedly, “As long as we can find our target, it will all be worth it. Moreover, even if we end up empty-handed, it still won’t be in vain.”

The young man in blue nodded, realizing the meaning behind the old man’s words. The 100 people will benefit a lot from entering the Qingxuan Secret Realm.

“Yes!” The young man in blue replied, then took his leave.

At this time, along with the announcement of the final ranking, clamor filled the square.

“Tsk tsk, 1st place is indeed Lin Shaohan. This guy is really amazing.”

“Look. 2nd place Su Mingyue, 3rd place is Ming Jianxin, the three great freaks are in the top 3. Calling them freaks is not an exaggeration.”

“Indeed! It’s really enviable.”

“Oh, 10th place Fang Yi, who is that? This is my first time hearing this name. Furthermore, the cultivation base is only at mid-stage 4th layer Spiritual Sea.”

Some people were puzzled.

Except for a few people who know Fang Yi, everyone else was unfamiliar with his name.

Fang Wuxin is one of the people familiar with Fang Yi. At this moment, his face was ashen, especially when he saw that the name written in front of the 11th place was Fang Wuxin. His eyes flickered with the flames of fury, and he gnashed his teeth hard.

“Damn it. Senior Disciple Brother Wuxin, this guy actually entered the top 10. If it weren’t for him, you would be in the top 10.”

Zhen Maqing had a look of regret on his face. Although there’s a difference in only one rank, but the difference in rewards is really great. The most important thing is that there will be an additional bottle of Growth Potion.

“That trash. Sooner or later, I’m going to kill him.” Fang Wuxin spoke through gritted teeth.

Unlike Fang Wuxin, Fang Yi was completely immersed in excitement at this moment.

To be able to enter the top 10, this was beyond his expectations. Although it is only the 10th place, but it’s no different from 4th place in terms of the rewards.

He doesn’t care about the ranking. He only cares about the rewards.

“Fang Yi, you’re awesome. You barged into the top 10. I admire you from the bottom of my heart.” Fatty’s eyes glimmered, and his face surged with the shade of worship.

“The three great freaks are nothing. If only the last month was taken into consideration, you would take 1st place.”

As he spoke, Fatty became increasingly more agitated, as if he wished to let everyone in the world know this.

Fang Yi doesn’t want to attract too much attention, so he quickly stopped him, “Damn Fatty, do you want me to die young or something?!”

“No way!” Fatty smiled mischievously. Seemingly realizing that he should be quiet, he shut his mouth and didn’t speak anymore.

“The top 100 disciples are to come up to the stage and accept their rewards.”

When Shui Rufeng shouted, the crowd calmed down, and the disciples who won rewards promptly walked up the stage. Fang Yi was naturally among them.

The rewards were soon handed out.

Looking at the two bottles of faint green Growth Potion in his hand, Fang Yi was excited. He wanted to ingest it right away. With the two bottles of Growth Potion, his cultivation base could be greatly upgraded in one go.

But now is clearly not the time.

Just as Shui Rufeng was about to announce the completion of the test.

All of a sudden, a faint ripple surged above the square, and then a blue figure walked out from the ripple and stood proudly in midair.

When Shui Rufeng saw the newcomer, he was obviously surprised. He bowed promptly and made a salute, “Greetings, eldest senior disciple brother!”

When his words fell, the huge square instantly became quiet.

They may not know the young man in blue. But in the entire Taixuan Sect, only Liu Suifeng, the chief disciple of the inner sect, can be called eldest senior disciple brother by Shui Rufeng.

As he gazed at the newcomer, Fang Yi found him familiar. He recalled meeting him in the Inheritance Room that day.

“The sect orders the top 100 disciples of this test to enter the Qingxuan Secret Realm in three days to receive a trial by fire.”

With that, Liu Suifeng disappeared from everyone’s sight, as if he hadn’t appeared to begin with.

Godly Base – 389

389 – An

“Welcome! Remember to obey all orders! If you fail to obey an order, you’ll have to take responsibility for the consequences.”

A warrior of the Haowei Escort Agency stepped forward, checked Shu Feng’s identity card, spoke a few words of warning, and returned to his position.

Shu Feng joined the caravan without saying a word and quietly observed it.

There are a total of 30 travelers like Shu Feng who wish to enter Xuanwu World. In addition to the 30 travelers, there are 200 warriors of the Haowei Escort Agency.

The middle-aged man with a beard and a somewhat decadent appearance is called Xiao Qing and is the leader of this caravan. The old man with a white beard is called Hai Gongfeng.

Among the 30 travelers, a stunning young woman dressed in green clothes, with long black hair, a tall figure, and an ethereal temperament is the most eye-catching.

“What a beautiful girl!”

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up when he saw the black-haired young woman.

In terms of appearance and temperament alone, the black-haired young woman can rank first among the beauties Shu Feng has met so far. Only Su Mi, when she has transformed into her mature form, can somewhat compete with her.

“Young lady, I am Liu Ming, a true disciple of the Cangming Sect of Xuanwu World. May I ask for your name!”

A young man dressed in white, with a natural and unrestrained temperament, walked up to the stunning young woman and uttered with a burning shade in his eyes.

“Vixen!”

Behind Liu Ming, a tall and sexy girl wearing a yellow silk dress, with a lovely, round face, gritted her teeth and glared at the stunning young woman and uttered in a low voice.

“An!”

The stunning young woman answered indifferently.

“So it’s young lady An!”

Liu Ming was about to continue the conversation when Xiao Qing’s cold voice came from the side: “Time’s up, let’s set out!”

The large caravan left Xuanlei City at once and entered the Realm of Erosion.

The stunning beauty called An is extremely charming. Of the 30 people, four men gathered around her and hit on her. But she is very cold and uses her words sparingly.

Among the soldiers of the Haowei Escort Agency, many stared at An. But once they entered the Realm of Erosion, they clenched their weapons and became quite cautious, as if facing a great enemy.

The Realm of Erosion is an extremely dangerous and fickle place. The path that is still safe today may become a danger zone tomorrow.

In the Realm of Erosion, some dreadful danger zones can claim even the lives of god realm powerhouses.

Spirit warrior realm beings can barely travel in the Realm of Erosion and are nothing more than canon fodder.

It is because the Realm of Erosion is so dangerous that Shu Feng doesn’t dare to set foot in it lightly, despite knowing that there are many resources in the Realm of Erosion.

Of course, large escort agencies like the Haowei Escort Agency have traveled the path from Xuanlei City to Xuanwu World many times. Even if there’s any danger, they can still respond to it.

At night, the entire Realm of Erosion appeared to be engulfed by endless darkness, emitting a dangerous aura. There is no light in the Realm of Hollow Demons at night.

“Stop! Set up camp!”

At the command of Xiao Qing, the entire caravan stopped at once and began to set up camp.

Xiao Qing took out a somewhat worn-out copper lamp and lit its wick. A faint yellow light spread out in the area, forming a space of yellow light with a radius of 50 meters.

Xiao Qing said coldly, “Speak in a low voice! You should be aware of the dangers of the Realm of Erosion. If you speak loudly, you will put us in danger.”

The 30 travelers quickly formed small circles and chatted quietly.

Five men gathered around the beauty called An.

Suddenly, gusts of strong wind came from the outside.

The wick of the worn-out copper lamp flickered.

“He-he, ha-ha!”

“Come and play!”

“Let’s play together!”

“…”

Suddenly, bursts of children’s laughter came from outside.

Xiao Qing’s complexion changed greatly, and he roared in a low voice, “Shut up! Don’t talk! Don’t make any noise! Or you’ll die!”

“There’s something outside!”

Shu Feng’s eye constricted slightly. With the impressive perception of the saint soul, he sensed great terrors lurking outside. If those great terrors aren’t dealt with properly, he might be in danger of dying.

The Realm of Erosion is replete with dangers. Even a slight mistake can lead to the death of Spirit Saint realm powerhouses. As a result, the task of exploring the Realm of Erosion is usually entrusted to low-level adventurers.

The safe paths in the Realm of Erosion have been explored by throwing the lives of countless adventurers at them.

Shu Feng suddenly used a masking secret method, and his presence became vague and indistinct, as if he were a stone on the roadside.

In the light barrier, everyone quieted down at once.

“Young ladz An, don’t worry. I have killed many phantasms like this in Xuanwu World before! Don’t worry, I will protect you!”

Liu Ming pulled out a sword, looked at the beauty called An affectionately, and said in a low voice.

An gave Liu Ming a strange look. She took a step and, as if teleporting, left Liu Ming’s side.

Liu Ming was stunned. Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, he lowered his head and saw a decaying maggot with a child head without eyes on his abdomen. Empty eye sockets stared at him with a smile.

“Senior disciple brother!”

When the girl wearing a yellow silk dress, with a lovely and round face, saw this scene, fear flashed in her eyes, and she let out a scream and retreated briskly.

But in the next moment, a decaying maggot with an eyeless child head appeared on the abdomen of the girl with a round face and stared straight at her with its hollow eyes.

“Sound! Those monsters carry out possession or attack through sound!”

Shu Feng calmly observed the goings-on. This is the reason why he chose to travel with a caravan.

Some strange and terrifying phenomena in the Realm of Erosion are said to be projections of top-level beings of the Realm of Hollow Demons, or strange phenomena formed by the scattered power of some dead big shots.

Those strange and terrifying phenomena are activated according to unique rules. So long as they discover those rules, then even Spirit Warrior realm small fries can escape from the dreadful strange phenomena. If they violate these rules, even Spirit Saint realm powerhouses will die.

“Help me! Help me!”

Liu Ming shed blood from the seven apertures of her head and rushed toward a bald man next to her while screaming miserably.

Temple of Creation – 19

19 – Breaking Into The Top 10

Fang Yi also looked over curiously.

He saw an energetic young woman with exquisite facial features. She is indeed a rare beauty.

However, compared to the zither girl Wumeng he met before, Fang Yi thinks that she is not as good.

Maybe it’s due to Wumeng’s elegant temperament.

“Su Mingyue, pinnacle-stage 7th layer Spiritual Sea, cultivation progress: eight and a half stars.”

Another freak.

This time the crowd was not too excited. After all, Ming Jianxin went up before. Since the three great freaks are almost equal in strength, the crowd has already anticipated Su Mingyue’s result and was much calmer.

However, Fang Yi found that many disciples looked at Su Mingyue with adoration in their eyes.

This left Fang Yi speechless.

“Tsk tsk! With such talent and beauty, how can other’s not be discouraged?!” Fatty sighed suddenly.

Fang Yi chuckled and joked: “Fatty, don’t you like her, as well?!”

“Bah!” Fatty curled his lips and said disapprovingly, “Beauty has no merit. I would rather have two chicken legs.”

“You glutton!” Fang Yi laughed, speechless.

As time went by, more than half of the disciples were tested.

Talented individuals have emerged one after another, many of whom are older disciples.

A considerable number of people whose cultivation progress reached seven to eight stars appeared.

The further you walk along the path of cultivation, the harder it is to make progress. As such, older disciples are at a disadvantage in this test.

Eight and a half stars is the best score so far.

“Lin Shaohan!”

Following a shout, the last of the three great freaks quickly entered the testing space.

“I wonder if Lin Shaohan will reach eight and a half stars. After all, he is the weakest of the three.”

“I think it’s unlikely. Although his talent is the best of the three, but unlike the other two, he doesn’t have access to huge amounts of resources.”

“That might not be the case. After all, Lin Shaohan is a cultivation lunatic.”

Fang Yi knows very little about Lin Shaohan.

He only heard that Lin Shaohan was born into poverty, yet showed amazing cultivation talent since he was little. Coupled with his efforts, he joined the ranks of two other geniuses, who have strong family support, and was called as the three great freaks together with them.

“Lin Shaohan, early-stage 8th layer Spiritual Sea, cultivation progress: nine stars.”

Nine dots lit up above the testing space.

The crowd erupted into a cacophony in an instant.

“Am I seeing things?! Nine stars, Lin Shaohan’s cultivation base has exceeded that of the other two.”

“Tsk tsk, this Lin Shaohan is really amazing. I’m afraid he will take first place in this test.”

“Shit, this guy is awesome.”

Everyone was amazed, especially Ming Jianxin, whose eyes narrowed and surged with intense hostility.

By contrast, Su Mingyue was much calmer, but she still revealed a shade of surprise in her eyes. The result clearly came as a surprise to her.

But Lin Shaohan himself looked like it was a matter of course.

“I’ll be damned, this guy is a monster.” Fatty spoke with an envious look on his face.

Fang Yi nodded involuntarily.

Although cultivation talent is important, but resources are also extremely important. For Lin Shaohan to surpass the other two freaks despite the great disparity in the access of resources, this is simply incredible.

It should be mentioned that the other two are no less talented than him.

“Fang Yi, look, that guy is going up.” Fatty shouted suddenly.

In front of the square, Fang Wuxin strode confidently, a complacent smile on his face.

“I wish this guy only had one star.” Fatty spoke with a sardonic smile.

Fang Yi shook his head and smiled. He vaguely remembers that the other party was at the early-stage 5th layer Spiritual Sea in the last test. After taking the Promotion Pill, he should have reached the early-stage 7th layer Spiritual Sea at this time. Crossing two major realms should net him at least six stars.

Just as he expected, Fang Wuxin’s score came out the next moment.

“Fang Wuxin, early-stage 7th layer Spiritual Sea, cultivation progress, seven stars.”

“Damn it, I didn’t expect this guy to be so impressive. His score puts him firmly in the 20. Maybe he can even enter the top 10. Fang Yi, you must get a higher score than him.” Fatty complained.

“That’s not up to me.” Fang Yi smiled helplessly.

In fact, after watching the test, Fang Yi has a general understanding regarding his cultivation progress.

He estimates that it should also be around seven stars. However, he isn’t sure if he can surpass Fang Wuxin.

The test continued. Fatty’s score came out: only two stars.

But instead of being dejected, Fatty was somewhat pleased. That’s because he knows that the two stars are only the result derived from several days of cultivation. If he continues to cultivate like this in the future, he will not only be able to catch up to others, but also surpass them.

“Fang Yi!” A voice came from the testing stage.

It was finally his turn. Fang Yi steeled his mind and strode away.

“Brother, you can do it!” Fatty didn’t forget to encourage Fang Yi.

When he entered the testing space, Fang Yi felt faint light wrap around his body.

As if in response to the faint light, the Tidal Art in his body operated by itself, followed by spiritual qi bursting out of his body, fusing with the surrounding light, and turning into a blue column of qi that charged toward the marks on the side.

One, two, three, four.

The blue column of qi continued to charge upward until it stopped between the fourth and fifth marks.

Then, above the testing space, seven gray dots lit up. The eighth dot also lit up with faint light.

“Fang Yi, mid-stage 4th layer Spiritual Sea, cultivation progress, seven and a half stars.”

Fatty shouted excitedly when he saw the result.

The people in the crowd who knew Fang Yi were shocked.

However, since Fang Yi has always been inconspicuous, few people knew him.

Of course, this does not include Fang Wuxin and Zhen Maqing.

Fang Wuxin, in particular, has an unsightly expression on his face at this time.

“Senior Disciple Brother Wuxin, this guy reached the mid-stage 4th layer Spiritual Sea. No wonder Xu Shaojie was not a match for him. Furthermore, his cultivation progress reached seven and a half stars, which is even better than your…” Zhen Maqing trailed off.

“Humph. Xu Shaojie, that trash, no one will pity his death.” Fang Wuxin gritted his teeth.

“It’s just the 4th layer Spiritual Sea, that’s all. However, this trash recently seems like a different person. I want to see what secrets he has.”

He locked on Fang Yi with his sinister eyes like a poisonous snake.

But Fang Yi didn’t pay him any attention.

After leaving the testing space, Fang Yi returned to his original position under the gazes filled with complicated emotions of the crowd.

He is rather satisfied with his result.

This result puts him in the top 10 so far. This would be unimaginable in the past. And it was achieved after only one month of cultivation.

“Fang Yi, you’re awesome. I admire you a lot. Maybe you will enter the top 10. Ha-ha.” Fatty laughed heartily.

Godly Base – 388

388 – Xuanlei City

“If we don’t resist! In the future, when the Realm of Hollow Demons devours Blue Star, our human clan will become a low-level clan and be reduced to slaves, toys, and pets of the powerful Hollow Demon clans.”

If we can give birth to several god realm powerhouses, then even if our world is devoured by the Realm of Hollow Demons, our human clan can make a place for itself in the Realm of Hollow Demons. And won’t be relegated to dead meat.”

“In addition, although the Realm of Hollow Demons is vast and abundant in resources, the competition is extremely fierce. The abundant resources have already been spoken for. If we want to advance to a god, we can only fight against the Hollow Demons and compete for resources.

“It’s not that easy to promote to a god!”

Four Absolutes Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao sighed faintly. Although he has advanced to the Spirit Saint realm in four worlds, is known as Four Absolutes Spirit Saint, and has the power to contend against demigod realm powerhouses, but he still feels that it’s very hard to advance to a god.

Shu Feng looked pensive.

Wu Zhongchao smiled faintly and said, “I have something to tell you! I found your other self in Xuanwu World. As long as you replace him, you will be able to seamlessly integrate into Xuanwu World.”

Shu Feng frowned and asked, “Do you want me to kill him?

“It’s fine to kill him. Ordinary Hollow Demons are this simple and rough. By killing their other self, they can absorb everything that belongs to the other party and evolve.”

“However, the most optimal choice is assimilation and devour, that is to assimilate his soul through a secret method, to complete his wishes, and to absorb his soul and life essence, thus carrying out a stage of being transformation.”

“Some top big shots of the Realm of Hollow Demons have evolved through this method. It is said that when the World of Grunt thwarted the invasion of the Realm of Hollow Demons, a big shot of the Realm of Hollow Demons descended on the World of Grunt in order to devour the soul of his other self in the World of Grunt.”

“This method is classified as the highest secret in the Realm of Hollow Demons. Only some god realm big shots can employ it. It was thanks to this method that I was able to earn the nickname Four Absolutes Spirit Saint.

Wu Zhongchao smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on Shu Feng.

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Please teach me this secret method! If I become a god realm powerhouse in the future, I will help you become a god yourself!”

“Okay. I hope you remember your promise in the future.”

Wu Zhongchao smiled calmly and spread the fingers of his hand, and a blue crystal appeared and flew toward Shu Feng.

This is a knowledge crystal of the World of Grunt, and it can only be used once. It contains knowledge infused by the caster.

Shu Feng crushed the blue crystal, and a mysterious secret method quickly flowed into his mind.

“Thank you very much for giving me the secret method, sir!”

Upon seeing the mysterious secret method, Shu Feng’s eyes brightened, and he bowed in salute to Wu Zhongchao and spoke thusly.

Wu Zhongchao waved his hand and said, “Alright, you can go now!”

Shu Feng smiled and said, “Yes! Sir!”

In the following days, Shu Feng left the Marsh Dragon Territory in the care of Li Xuanyi and Zhu Chenyu and, while claiming to go into closed-door cultivation, disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The Realm of Erosion, Xuanlei City. This is the city under the control of Blue Star closest to Xuanwu World.

“So this is Xuanlei City, the only city that can trade with Xuanwu World! It is indeed bustling!”

As he strolled inside Xuanlei City, Shu Feng saw people dressed in Wuxia attires mingled with people dressed in modern clothes in the city.

As a city that links Blue Star and Xuanwu World, many specialties of Xuanwu World and Blue Star are traded in Xuanlei City, making it extremely prosperous.

Shu Feng used the One Hundred Nights Transmogrification of the nine great arts of the Purgatory Skeleton Gate to alter his appearance in preparation to infiltrate Xuanwu World through Xuanlei City and search for his other self.

Both the Fang Magnus Family and the Zhu Magnus Family have their own forces in Xuanwu World. However, Shu Feng has countless enemies. He doesn’t want those enemies to know of his movements.

At this time, Shu Feng is already a Spirit Venerable realm powerhouse and possesses quasi-Saint realm combat power. Now he must prepare to break through to the Spirit Saint realm. Top secret methods of Xuanwu World are his goal.

The Haowei Escort Agency is one of the top 10 escort agencies in Xuanlei City and is responsible for transporting goods and escorting people between Xuanwu World and Xuanlei City.

“Welcome. What can I do for you?”

When Shu Feng stepped into the Haowei Escort Agency, a beautiful woman dressed in green clothing, greeted him with a professional smile.

Shu Feng said, “I want to go to Xuanwu World. Please dispatch someone to escort me.”

The beautiful woman smiled slightly and said, “May I ask if there are enemies pursuing you? If there are, please tell us their strength. If you lie, our escort agency has the right to hand you over in a time of danger.”

Shu Feng said lightly, “I don’t have enemies. If we encounter enemies chasing me, you can hand me over.”

The beautiful woman in green said, “Okay! Do you wish to follow a troop or choose a private escort? If you follow a troop to Xuanwu World, it will cost you 3,000 gold coins or 300 million credits. If you choose a private escort, it will cost 300,000 gold coins or 30 billion credits.”

Traveling to other worlds is expensive, often costing hundreds of thousands of credits. If you don’t choose a big escort agency like Haowei Escort Agency, you will encounter various dangers along the way.

Shu Feng said, “I’ll follow a troop!”

There are many people in a troop, so it’s far safer than a private escort unit. And if there are really any problems along the way, other people can serve as cannon fodder, giving Shu Feng more time to respond.

The beautiful woman in green handed over a contract and said, “This is the contract. Please look it over. If there are no problems, please sign it and pay the fee.”

Shu Feng took the contract, looked it over, and found no issues. He signed with a false name and then handed a bank card, “I want to go to Xuanwu World as soon as possible.”

The beautiful woman in green handed Shu Feng an identity card: “At eight tomorrow morning, at the city gate! A troop will leave for Xuanwu World. Here is your identity card, please take it!”

Shu Feng turned and left.

The next morning at eight.

When Shu Feng arrived at the gate of Xuanlei City, he saw a caravan of 300 people appear in front of him.

Although the Haowei Escort Agency is called an escort agency, but it actually engages in cross-world trade. When selling the specialties of Blue Star to Xuanwu World, they can make a fortune. Of course, escort is only one of their businesses.

“The strength of this caravan isn’t weak! There are two Great Spirit Master realm powerhouses!”

Shu Feng glanced at a middle-aged man with a beard and a somewhat decadent appearance and an elderly man with a white beard within the caravan.
