Heavenly Peak Mountain Range
High in the sky, a giant Griffon Beast flapped its wings, and a faint light shield emanated from its body, blocking the oncoming gale.
Xiao Ming stood with his hands behind his back on the Griffon Beast, his gaze slowly returning from the direction of the Inner Academy that had disappeared from sight, a hint of sadness in his expression as he looked on as he prepared to part.
However, this feeling was quickly dispelled.
"Xiao Ming, which way do we go next?"
Zi Yan showed no sadness at all; her face was full of excitement.
"You're quite the optimist."
Smiling, Xiao Ming ruffled Zi Yan's hair and said, "Next, we'll fly to Tianya City in the Heavenly Peak Mountain Range. From there, we can travel to Central Plains via Spatial Wormhole."
"Spatial Wormhole?" The three women were puzzled when they first heard the name.
"Spatial Wormhole is a connection between two points in space created by Dou Zun Expert using spatial power. If we travel through Spatial Wormhole, it will only take us a month to reach the Central Plains from the Black Corner Region Central Plains."
"This Dou Zun Expert is actually able to use such methods; it's truly terrifying," Xiao Yi Xian murmured softly beside her.
Xiao Ming overheard this and laughed.
"Becoming Dou Zun is not difficult for you. Alright, sit down and rest. The journey ahead is still long, and you need to conserve your energy."
After speaking, Xiao Ming took the lead and sat down to cultivate.
Tianya City is located in a mountain range called Heavenly Peak, tens of thousands of miles away from the Black Corner Region. As the only city within a thousand miles that has Spatial Wormhole leading to the Central Plains, Tianya City is second to none in terms of prosperity within this area.
At the speed of Griffon Beast, it would take at least half a month to reach Tianya City in the Heavenly Peak Mountain Range from the Black Corner Region.
In the past two weeks, Xiao Ming's cultivation level has broken through to the Two-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Yi Xian's strength has also reached the Four-Star Dou Zong.
On the Griffon Beast, Zi Yan, who was teasing the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, suddenly stopped and pointed to a mountain range that suddenly jutted out from the ground in the distance. She exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Ming, have we arrived?!"
Coming back to their senses from their cultivation, Xiao Ming and the others slowly opened their eyes and looked into the distance.
"Hmm, judging by its size, this should be it. Let the Griffon Beast speed things up."
The Griffon Beast crossed a plain and entered the mountain range. Soon, a network of wide roads within the mountains came into view, leading in all Xiao Ming. Along these roads, many figures could be seen coming and going, and even from this distance, the faint sounds of commotion could be heard from the ground.
In the sky above the mountain range, Xiao Ming was not the only Griffon Beast. Shortly after they entered the mountain range, they heard the sound of wind breaking in the distance. Soon after, they saw many strangely shaped flying beasts flapping their wings and flying into the mountain range. When they passed by Xiao Ming and the others, they could clearly see some figures sitting on the flying beasts.
"No wonder it's the most prosperous city within a thousand miles..."
As people came and Magical Beast, Xiao Ming let out a soft sigh. Then, he lightly stomped his foot, and the Griffon Beast let out a loud cry. Then, it flapped its giant wings and quickly flew away into the depths of the mountains.
After Griffon Beast for nearly ten minutes, the outline of a huge city began to appear faintly from the Lush Green Mountain Peaks.
As Xiao Ming was observing the city, a thin man in purple suddenly blocked the Griffon Beast's Griffon Beast, forcing it to stop.
"I didn't expect someone would actually come looking for death." Looking at the powerful purple-robed man before Aura, Xiao Ming frowned and thought to himself.
The man in the purple robe looked at the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python in Zi Yan's hand, felt the tremor of his bloodline, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He glanced again at the three beautiful women beside him, a lewd glint in his eyes.
Finally, his gaze, filled with jealousy and hatred, fell upon Xiao Ming's face.
"You pretty boy, get the hell out of here if you don't want to die! I want all the beauties around you!"
It must be said that Xiao Ming and his group's age was quite deceptive; without careful investigation, many people would mistake them for ordinary young masters and ladies from wealthy families on a leisurely trip.
In particular, Xiao Ming and his group of handsome men and beautiful women perfectly embodied the image of scions of aristocratic families.
Listening to the words of the man in the purple robe, Xiao Ming looked at him calmly, as if he were looking at a dead man.
Perhaps because of his rebirth, Xiao Ming's emotions are usually very peaceful, and he doesn't care too much if others offend him.
However, if anyone dares to lay a hand on someone close to him, he will teach them a lesson they won't forget.
Seeing that Xiao Ming dared to disobey him and instead looked at him with disrespect, the man in purple was furious.
"I spared your life out of kindness, but since you don't appreciate it, then die!"
With a furious roar, a purple snake shadow over twenty feet long appeared before Xiao Ming and the others.
"Go, tear that brat to shreds!"
Upon receiving the order, the Purple Snake flicked its tail and opened its blood-red maw to devour Xiao Ming.
"I didn't expect it to be a Seventh Tier Purple Netherflame Serpent." Xiao Ming's expression remained unchanged as he gazed at the illusory figure.
With a slight stomp of his right foot, invisible Spatial Fluctuation spread out in all directions.
"Bang!"
The purple snake-like shadow exploded in mid-air, like a dazzling firework.
Upon seeing this, the boy's eyes shrank back.
He had been so focused on other things that he only realized Xiao Ming's strength was extraordinary when he saw his hands rapidly forming hand seals.
"You brat, so what if you have some strength? Today, I, the great one..."
Before the purple figure could finish speaking, another loud bang rang out.
He was blasted into the air, and where he stood, Xiao Ming's afterimage remained.
Peng!
After flying only three or four zhang (approximately 10-12 meters), the purple figure was redirected in another direction.
Bang! The figure flew another three or four zhang before being kicked back.
Bang bang bang!
And so, within that space of three or four zhang, the man in the purple robe was passed back and forth by Xiao Ming like a football.
Xiao Ming's speed was so great that the afterimage he left at the relay point could not dissipate in time, giving the impression that he had used a Xiao Ming.
"Boom!"
With a final kick to the purple-clad man's forehead, sending him hurtling down into the Heavenly Peak Mountain Range, the man fell completely unconscious.
Xiao Ming grasped his hand, and the purple-clad man's figure stopped abruptly, then flew back and was caught in Xiao Ming's hand.
After checking and confirming that the man in purple was indeed unconscious, Xiao Ming slowly flew back to the Griffon Beast.
