Xie Wenyue followed closely behind Xu Ning.
Since Xie Wenyue’s strength had fallen to the mortal realm, she could not survive in this mystic realm alone.
Only by following Xu Ning would her safety be guaranteed.
‘There doesn’t seem to be any strong presence in this dense forest.’
Xu Ning cautiously walked around.
The only creatures he detected around him were small beasts that were not even demon beasts. It was as if there was no danger in the dense forest.
But Xu Ning did not relax his vigilance because of this. If there were no signs of danger in such a dangerous mystic realm, it would only mean that there was a problem.
Now that the protective bead that Ming Xinghe had given him was broken, he had to be extra careful.
‘The larger and more complicated a mystic realm, the harder it is to find the exit. Moreover, exits are usually placed randomly.’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
Unknowingly, the two had walked a long distance, but they still could not pass through the dense forest.
During this period of time, they did not see any void realm demon beasts, or even mortal realm demon beasts.
“Do you want to rest for a while?”
Xu Ning turned his head and asked Xie Wenyue.
“No need.”
Xie Wenyue waved her hand.
Although her realm had fallen and her injuries had not healed, as long as she did not fight, there would be no problems.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing.
The gust of wind blew away the weeds and trees in the dense forest.
The two looked up and suddenly saw a giant tiger demon beast with wings flying over their heads.
‘What a terrifying demon beast.’
Xu Ning pulled Xie Wenyue and tried his best to hide.
Xu Ning felt that this giant tiger demon beast was even more terrifying than the lurking demon beasts in the river.
‘It should be a peak void realm demon beast.’
Xu Ning made a guess and thought to himself, ‘There are peak void realm demon beasts in this mystic realm. It’s as if this place is the backyard of a demon beast.’
“Huh?”
As Xu Ning watched the giant tiger demon beast fly away, he noticed that it suddenly stopped in mid-air and turned around.
Its gaze penetrated the dense forest, circling in on Xu Ning.
“I was noticed!”
Xu Ning quickly grabbed Xie Wenyue. “Go!”
However, before they could even take two steps, the giant tiger demon beast flapped its wings and landed in front of them.
Its huge body crushed the surrounding trees and weeds.
Xu Ning looked at the giant tiger demon beast up close.
It was about 20 meters tall and 60 meters long. With its wings spread out, its wingspan was about as long as the length of its body.
The giant tiger demon beast lowered its head, its blue eyes glimmering. The pattern on its forehead was silver-white in color.
It was watching Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt like a huge mountain was pressing on his shoulders.
The giant tiger demon beast did not hide its aura at all. The tremendous pressure made it difficult to breathe.
Xie Wenyue could no longer move.
“I left the wolf’s den, just to enter the tiger’s den?”
Xu Ning began to sweat.
However, things didn’t go as Xu Ning expected. The giant tiger demon beast was not planning to hurt the two.
It lowered its huge head, leaned in front of Xu Ning and sniffed.
‘It doesn’t seem to want to hurt me.’
Xu Ning noticed that the aura of the giant tiger demon beast was mellowing out.
The giant tiger demon sniffed Xu Ning, then moved its head and stared straight at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning saw a very human expression in the eyes of the giant tiger demon beast.
It was shocked at first, then it looked puzzled before suddenly letting out a happy expression.
Roar!
The giant tiger demon beast suddenly roared towards the sky. It seemed to be very happy.
However, the shock wave from the roar uprooted every tree in a five-mile radius, clearing the area.
As for Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue, they were pressed to the ground. Xu Ning was fine, but Xie Wenyue was bleeding from her nose and mouth.
After venting its emotions, the silver lines on the forehead of the giant tiger demon beast flashed.
Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue felt their bodies lighten. They were then dragged by a gentle force towards the head of the giant tiger demon beast for them to be seated.
Hua! Hua!
The giant tiger demon beast flapped its wings and flew away with the two of them.
“What’s going on?”
Xu Ning was puzzled.
After the giant tiger demon beast sniffed him, it showed a complicated expression, as if it was saying, “I finally found you.”
‘Could it be…’
Xu Ning noticed the silver lines on the forehead of the giant tiger demon beast.
Xu Ning subconsciously thought of Gray.
Once Gray matured, its fur would turn silver.
‘This giant tiger demon beast is a relative of Gray?’
Xu Ning continued to make connections in his head, and because Gray was a kitten, compared to this giant tiger demon beast below him, they did have many similarities.
“Xu Ning, what happened?”
Xie Wenyue was also confused.
She had just taken a medicinal pill to relieve her injuries.
“I don’t know.”
Xu Ning shook his head. He did not say his guess.
That was just his intuition, so it might not be accurate.
“It seems to want to take us somewhere.”
After the giant tiger demon beast spread its wings, its flying speed was extremely fast. It was flying in a straight line.
Sure enough, the truth was just as Xu Ning guessed.
The giant tiger demon beast led them to a volcano.
Faint gray smoke floated out of the crater.
The giant tiger demon beast circled in the air before diving into the volcano.
Xu Ning instantly activated his true qi and protected Xie Wenyue.
He was afraid that the two of them would be thrown into the magma.
However, what Xu Ning was worried about did not happen.
On the rock wall of the volcano, there was a wide platform. The giant tiger demon beast brought them there and landed on the platform.
The giant tiger demon beast shook its body, shaking the two down.
Below the platform, the fiery red lava was gurgling.
The giant tiger demon beast turned its head to look at the magma. Then, its forehead flashed with a silver light.
The bubbling liquid magma suddenly began to twist and rotate like a water vortex.
Afterwards, the giant tiger demon beast reached out its claws and hooked Xu Ning before throwing Xu Ning into the magma vortex.
“This!”
Xu Ning thought that the giant tiger demon beast was friendly to him, but in the blink of an eye, it threw him into the boiling magma vortex.
He had no time to think, he could only use his qi to protect his entire body. At the same time, the water qi in his body surged, condensing a layer of water that covered his entire body.
“Xu Ning!”
Xie Wenyue screamed.
But afterwards, she was flicked in the forehead by the giant tiger demon beast, then she fainted.
Xu Ning fell into the magma vortex.
However, Xu Ning did not feel the heat of the magma.
He just felt dizzy as he went down the magma vortex.
This feeling of weightlessness was similar to when he first entered the mystic realm.
Thump!
Xu Ning fell to the ground.
Xu Ning looked up and looked around. He found himself in a cave again.
There was a hole above his head. Hot magma was flowing outside the hole, but the magma did not leak into the hole, as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
‘It seems to be a cave abode.’
There was a thick stone door in front of Xu Ning.
Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before walking over and pushing it open.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The stone door was slowly pushed open, making a vibrating noise.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The moment the stone door was opened, flames suddenly appeared in the dark cave abode.
Flames were lit on the wall lamps.
“Where am I…”
Xu Ning walked in.
The first thing he saw was a stone tablet that was as tall as a person.
On the stone tablet, there were strange and distorted lines. After Xu Ning approached it, the lines started to emit a bright red light, then the lines began to swim in a disorderly manner.
Xu Ning stared at it and felt this strange feeling. At the same time, the fire qi in his body suddenly began to move.
Inside his body, he began to activate the internal cultivation path of the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll, the Bright Fire Sword, and the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.
“This is…”
Xu Ning suddenly realized.
“This is a dao seal!”
Xu Ning instantly reacted.
He had learned from Zhuo Zongyi that when observing a dao seal, he would subconsciously practice his own secret scrolls and secret techniques.
‘This cave was left behind by a dao realm master!’
Xu Ning finally understood the intentions of the giant tiger demon beast.
Sure enough, it did not have any ill intentions towards him, it just threw him into the magma to give him an opportunity!
‘That giant tiger demon beast is likely related to Gray.’
Xu Ning was certain, “It probably smelled Gray’s aura on my body, otherwise it would not show such great kindness to me.”
“Grey, what kind of demon beast are you?”
A lazy gray figure appeared in Xu Ning’s mind.
Xu Ning no longer observed the dao seal, as now was not the time to cultivate.
Xu Ning continued to walk inside the cave abode.
After walking for more than ten meters, Xu Ning saw another pond.
He leaned over and noticed that the water in the pond was red and sticky, it was even steaming.
Xu Ning weighed his options. After a while, he covered his fingers with his internal qi and dipped his fingers in.
‘It’s the same consistency as lava, but it’s not hot at all.’
Xu Ning dispelled his internal qi, so his fingers were touching the sticky red liquid.
“Huh?”
Xu Ning suddenly felt a hot qi current flowing into his body.
After about ten seconds, Xu Ning suddenly received a notification from the Martial Arts Panel.
…
Discovered energy 10 units, absorb?
Yes / No
…
‘There is energy in this viscous liquid!’
Xu Ning directly absorbed 10 units of energy.
Because he felt that this rate of absorption was not satisfying, he jumped into the pool, and his body completely sank into the sticky red liquid.
Xu Ning didn’t do anything. He just let the qi currents flow into his body.
Xu Ning felt like a sponge absorbing energy.
…
Discovered energy 10 units, absorb?
Yes / No
…
Every two seconds, this prompt from the Martial Arts Panel would appear in front of Xu Ning.
Seeing this, Xu Ning just kept tapping “yes” with his mind.
This was the first time Xu Ning felt that repeated mechanical behavior was so interesting.
Time slowly passed by, the prompt from the Martial Arts Panel was still refreshing in front of Xu Ning.
At the same time, the red viscous liquid in the pond became thinner and thinner.
‘The energy in this pond seems to be almost completely absorbed by me.’
More than half an hour had passed.
Xu Ning discovered that the pond had completely turned into ordinary water.
Expectedly, the prompt from the Martial Arts Panel did not appear again.
‘The energy in this pond has been completely absorbed by me!’
Xu Ning looked a little excited.
In this crazy hour, Xu Ning absorbed a total of 20,500 units of energy!
“More than 20,000 units of energy!”
Xu Ning felt a huge sense of satisfaction.
“Martial Arts Panel!”
Xu Ning opened his Martial Arts Panel.
…
Name: Xu Ning
Martial Arts:
Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll (Void realm fifth stage: Materialization realm) +
Water cross sword (Fifth level) +
Bright Fire sword (Fifth level) +
Tidal Fist (Fifth level) +
Flame Breath Bone Sutra (Fifth level) +
Available energy: 20,780 units
…
Xu Ning pressed on the “+” sign next to the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll.
…
Consume 10,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?
Yes / No
…
Xu Ning clicked “yes” without hesitation.
Xu Ning’s realm directly increased to the void realm sixth stage!
“Ha!”
Xu Ning’s hand turned into a sword.
Subsequently, a water sword and a fire sword appeared at the same time. They were both semi-transparent, just like Chen Xiaoyi’s earth fist, which could cause both physical and attribute damage.
Attribute realm, attribute materialization!
If Xu Ning had advanced to the common seal realm, then the lines of the common seal realm would appear on the sword seal, causing its power to undergo a qualitative change!
The water and fire sword seals trembled in the air.
Xu Ning wanted to swing his sword twice to test its power, but since he was in a cave abode left by a dao realm master, Xu Ning held back.
‘I’ll try the Tidal Fist and Flame Breath Bone Sutra!’
Xu Ning dismissed the water sword seal and the fire sword seal. He then executed his other two secret techniques.
‘Wow!’
He activated the Tidal Fist, and a large blue fist appeared with water flowing on its surface.
After activating the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, a layer of red semi-solid armor appeared on Xu Ning’s body, covering him like an exoskeleton.
‘Now I have both offensive and defensive abilities!’
Xu Ning was overjoyed.
He waved his hand, and the giant fist and armor disappeared.
‘After breaking through to the attribute realm, in addition to this improvement, I can also transform the nature of my attributes!’
‘I can freely use water annihilation, water corrosion, fire penetration, and fire cutting!’
‘Not only have I become stronger, but my combat methods have become more diverse!’
Xu Ning felt a tremendous improvement in his strength.
If he encountered Bao Ruyuan again, he could kill him in three moves.
Even if he ran into Chen Xiaoyi, Xu Ning could protect himself from him.
This improvement was too great..
