Li Er stretched comfortably, letting out a long yawn, a satisfied expression on his face.

Earlier, during his introspection, his consciousness had entered his dantian and seen that mysterious bead.

It was this very bead that was the culprit behind his time travel.

The moment he saw the bead, he instantly stepped into its inner world. An indescribable, magical force surged, causing his consciousness to rapidly condense and transform into a Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit expanded at an astonishing rate until it was the same size as his original human form. Then, it began to slowly and steadily materialize, even growing hair.

And so, he awakened.

Upon waking, he discovered that his dantian was still like a deep, boundless black hole, greedily devouring the surrounding Aura Lotus.

If one didn't observe carefully, it would be almost impossible to notice the faint golden glow flickering deep within his dantian. That was his newly formed Golden Core, small but containing infinite potential.

However, this tiny bit of Golden Core was just too small.

"Something's not right. Sect Master Tongtian's gaze is a bit unkind. What's going on?" Li Er instantly sensed Sect Master Tongtian's gaze, and his heart turned cold. He hadn't done anything.

Fortunately, Sect Master Tongtian quickly shifted his gaze away from him.

He looked at the surrounding Aura Lotus, gritted his teeth, and drew them all into his dantian. Since he had already eaten quite a bit, he might as well not care about this last bit.

He figured he might as well have a full meal before he died, rather than starve to death.

At this moment, Sect Master Tongtian, sitting high in the void, had mixed feelings. He sensed a glimmer of hope in this mortal, a glimmer of hope for Jie Sect, and a glimmer of hope for his future.

The thing that fluctuated on him could actually trigger anomalies in the Heavenly Dao. If he hadn't been quick to help him cover it up, he would probably have been struck dead by heavenly lightning by now.

However, the abnormal fluctuations on him were only momentary. Now, he perfectly presented the state of a mortal, albeit a bit stronger than ordinary mortals. This kid had actually broken through to the Golden Core stage.

Using the most ancient method of cultivating by swallowing qi and refining qi, he actually achieved the earliest Golden Core realm. With a Golden Core in my belly, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of the heavens.

No wonder he could instantly avoid the Heavenly Dao's inspection.

"Directly accepting him as a disciple is probably not feasible. He's too abnormal.

If he becomes my disciple, it will attract attention from all sides. The other Sages will definitely see that he's different.

Hide him away and slowly teach him?" Sect Master Tongtian began to ponder in his heart. Soon, he came up with a plan.

Originally, he had planned to lecture on the Dao for a month, but only three days had passed. He felt that was enough. He could divide the month into three sessions.

After all, seeing that brat pretending to listen to the Dao when he was actually dozing off, he didn't want to lecture anymore.

Just then.

Sect Master Tongtian stopped lecturing and said majestically, "You may stay here for now. This lecture on the Dao will be in three sessions. The next lecture will be in ten days."

Then, he disappeared.

Li Er was the first to stand up and calmly walked out, wanting to see if he could leave this place.

At this moment, the monsters and others who were listening to the Dao were still in place, not leaving, because ten days would pass in the blink of an eye for them.

Of course, those at the front definitely didn't want to move. Some of the monsters at the back knew their own aptitude. After digesting the content of the lecture, they selectively found places on Golden Turtle Island to settle down.

Sect Master Tongtian had said to stay for now, which meant they had a chance to become Jie Sect disciples.

Some of the clever monsters sitting at the back used their divine powers to find their own places on the immortal island to make into cave dwellings.

Li Er still walked slowly, looking at the monsters flying through the air with an envious expression. It wasn't that he didn't want to use his divine powers, but he simply didn't know how.

Even though he had achieved the Golden Core, he still didn't understand spells and divine powers, because the Dao that Sect Master Tongtian lectured on differed from his understanding, and he simply couldn't comprehend it.

He understood what he was talking about, but he didn't know how to use it. It was very different from the Sages lecturing on the Dao in novels, where one could comprehend it on their own.

A person's understanding and vision couldn't be changed in a short time. Moreover, his heart hadn't settled down since he transmigrated to this world, and he simply didn't have the mind to think about these things.

He was able to achieve the Golden Core realm thanks to that special bead. It was entirely its doing that he achieved the Golden Core.

Fortunately, with the cultivation of the Golden Core stage, he didn't have to worry about going hungry. He didn't have to eat anything next, so he wouldn't starve to death.

Little did he know that Sect Master Tongtian in the void was having a headache, not knowing how to approach him. After all, this kid was full of vigilance, like a small beast walking in the desert, constantly worrying about the danger to his life.

Just then.

"Big brother, there's a mortal here. No, it's a Golden Core ant. Let's catch him and use him as a servant in our cave dwelling."

"I think it's a good idea. Major sects have the habit of taking in child servants. Let's catch him and take him to our cave dwelling."

"Kid, you're in luck. Come with us to our cave dwelling and be a child servant."

Li Er heard the voices behind him, and his hair stood on end. He turned around and saw a wolf head and a fox head, both wearing animal hide. The words they spoke and the breath they exhaled...

He could smell the bloody stench from a long distance.

Damn it, these are man-eating monsters.

They said they wanted to catch him and make him a child servant, but they actually wanted to eat him. Didn't he see the wolf-headed monster drooling?

Li Er appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already panicking.

Other people's transmigrations either had a system or an old grandfather, but he transmigrated and would directly die before the third episode.

Was there even a third episode?

Wasn't he the protagonist? Usually, when the protagonist encounters this kind of situation, someone saves him. Does he have that?

"Stop! You two fiends, how dare you attack a member of my human race!"

A thunderous voice from afar reached Li Er's ears. At that moment, the sound was like heavenly music to him. Had his prayers been answered? Had someone really come to save him?

A raggedly dressed sword cultivator, radiating righteousness and with anger etched on his face, appeared in the distance, precariously riding a wobbly cloud.

Li Er's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

No way? Brother, do you think two demons eating me won't fill their bellies, so you're here to offer yourself as dessert?

Can't you just run away quickly!

However, he recalled how the human race in the early stages of Honghuang novels was unusually united, which allowed them to survive that dark period of history. It seemed this brother was a representative of that spirit.

"Big brother, it seems heaven is kind to us. One boy isn't enough, so another one comes along."

"Not bad, not bad, one for each of us."

The raggedly dressed sword cultivator appeared in front of Li Er, drew the long sword in his hand, shielded him behind his back, and said righteously.

"Fellow human, quickly go to Biyou Palace. I'll hold them off."

"Brother, how can I leave you here? Come, let's fight them together.

Even if we die, we'll bite off a piece of their flesh!" Li Er said earnestly, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Haha, good brother, what's your name!"

Li Er paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Li Er. What about you?"

"You Er? That's a strange name. I'm called Pan Laosan."
