Chapter 1818: Desolate Lands

“Brother Su, this is too precious,”

Old Yan’s face was slightly red as he held the spirit gathering cultivation technique with both hands and trembled slightly.

“Nothing much,”

Su Zimo smiled gently. “I have no use for such a cultivation technique. Just accept it.”

“What’s wrong?”

Right then, a woman pushed the door open and asked softly.

“Old Yan was excited and handed that cultivation technique to the woman. “Hurry, look! This is the spirit gathering cultivation technique that Brother Su gave our child!”

“Ah!”

The woman exclaimed softly with a shocked expression when she saw the cultivation technique.

This should be Old Yan’s Dao companion, Ning Yu—Su Zimo had heard Old Yan mention her in the past year.

The two of them did not ascend at the same time but they both came from minor chiliocosms. The fact that they were able to meet in Snow Wind Ridge was a rare fate as well and they became Dao companions here later on.

As though she recalled something, Ning Yu said, “Hurry, give Brother Su all the Essence Condensation Pills you’ve saved up over the years.”

“Right, right, right!”

Old Yan reacted as well and hurriedly took out a storage bag, handing it to Su Zimo. “Brother Su, this is the Essence Condensation Pills that I’ve accumulated over the years. There are more than 700 of them…”

“There’s no need,”

Su Zimo shook his head gently. “I’m about to leave. Take this cultivation technique as a small gift from me to your son.”

Old Yan pondered for a moment. “Alright, since you said that, I’ll accept it shamelessly, Brother Su! If you ever require anything, I’ll definitely lay my life on the line!”

“Brother Su, you haven’t even met Little Ping’an. Now that you’re about to leave, please come over and take a look,” Ning Yu said with a smile.

Little Ping’an was the nickname of Old Yan’s child. He and Ning Yu hoped that their child could grow up and live a peaceful¹ life.

Su Zimo nodded and arrived at the entrance of the room under the lead of Old Yan and Ning Yu.

Old Yan pushed the door open and revealed an exquisite cradle made of green bamboo placed in the middle of the room. A child around two to three years old slept inside with a flushed face and clenched fists.

That child was almost the entirety of Old Yan’s hope.

Su Zimo did not enter the room. He merely paused for a moment at the entrance before retreating. He took out two more black-grade Dharmic treasures from his storage bag and handed them to Old Yan and Ning Yu.

“Brother Su, this is…”

Old Yan was completely stunned and could not believe it.

Although those two Dharmic treasures were only inferior black-grade, they were extremely precious treasures to them!

“Accept it,”

Su Zimo smiled gently and threw down the two black-grade Dharmic treasures. Turning around, he mounted the big yellow dog and sped back the way he came.

Not far away, Duan Tianliang was running over.

“Let’s go. Follow me,”

Su Zimo said and led the way out of Snow Wind Ridge.

Duan Tianliang jogged behind him.

The big yellow dog was still bearing a grudge against Duan Tianliang and ran away quickly on purpose.

Duan Tianliang’s legs almost broke from the running speed. The big yellow dog only slowed down after Su Zimo asked it to so that Duan Tianliang could catch his breath.

“Boss, does your mount have a name?”

Duan Tianliang caught up with great difficulty and asked while panting.

“No,”

Su Zimo said.

“Let’s call it Big Yellow!”

Duan Tianliang said with evil intentions.

“Woof!”

The big yellow dog barked at Duan Tianliang with a sorrowful expression!

“Sure,”

Su Zimo nodded.

Duan Tianliang winked at the big yellow dog and sneered internally, “Little beast, you want to fight me?!”

“Boss, where are we going?”

Duan Tianliang asked again.

Su Zimo asked, “Are there any deserted places on the Dragon Abyss Star? It’s best if there are no factions gathered.”

Su Zimo was prepared to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion.

Right now, he had close to 40,000 Essence Condensation Pills in his storage bag, enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

There were still many unknowns about the Dragon Abyss Star and the upper world.

However, he could only explore those unknowns if he raised his cultivation as soon as possible.

“This…”

Duan Tianliang thought for a moment. “More than half of the Dragon Abyss Star is actually desolate and filled with all sorts of living ferocious beasts. It’s extremely dangerous and no one will go there.”

“Of course, those living ferocious beasts won’t dare to come out easily either.”

Su Zimo said, “Alright, let’s check out these desolate lands.”

After saying that, a look of joy flashed through Big Yellow’s eyes.

Those desolate lands were filled with all sorts of living beings, strong and weak. There were many types and every single step was filled with danger!

It was said that even the plants in the desolate lands could eat humans!

If Su Zimo were to head to the desolate lands, he would definitely be buried there and it could find an opportunity to escape!

Right, he also had to bite that fatty to death before escaping!

At that thought, Big Yellow headed towards the desolate lands excitedly.

…

At the same time, in Blood Sun Valley.

Chen Xuanyang frowned with a dark expression.

He had just sent everyone from Snow Wind Ridge away when he learned that Su Zimo had already left overnight. There was still no news from Shadow and the others’ pursuit of Su Zimo.

“Young Master!”

Right then, a subordinate sped over with a flustered expression. Arriving before Chen Xuanyang, he knelt on the ground and panted. “Shadow and five other Grade 5 Black Immortals are all dead!”

“What?!”

A cold glint flashed through Chen Xuanyang’s eyes and he turned murderous.

The person said, “According to my understanding, a total of seven Grade 5 Black Immortals from the valley, Shadow included, chased after Su Zimo this time round. Now, six of them are dead and their storage bags have been taken away. There’s still one person unaccounted for.”

“Good, good, good!”

Chen Xuanyang grit his teeth and said coldly, “Very good, Su Zimo. I’ve truly underestimated you!”

“Young Master, what should we do?”

The Blood Sun Valley cultivator asked.

Chen Xuanyang’s expression was cold. “Pass down the order to search for Su Zimo with all our might. I don’t believe that any faction in the territory of Blood Sun Valley will take him in!”

“Also, keep an eye on Snow Wind Ridge!”

“Understood!”

The Blood Sun Valley cultivator acknowledged and bid farewell.

Chen Xuanyang did not know at all that at that moment, Su Zimo had already left the territory of Blood Sun Valley on the big yellow dog and was heading towards the desolate lands where no one had stepped foot.

The two of them and the dog ran for a full seven days before arriving at the edge of the desolate lands.

Up ahead was a forest with lush leaves and many ancient trees soared into the skies. It was dark and sinister within, filled with an ancient aura.

The big yellow dog’s eyes widened in shock and fear as it stopped in its tracks.

Duan Tianliang gulped as well and asked, “Boss, why don’t we settle down outside? I can build a cave abode for you in a few days.”

“Let’s continue,”

Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he patted Big Yellow on the head. His tone was calm but unquestionable.

Although Big Yellow cursed internally, it could only grit its teeth and advance into the forest.

Duan Tianliang followed at the back with a guarded expression.
