Reunion
Li Qi was living a carefree life.
Meanwhile, in the outer realms, a golden-haired tiger was charging wildly.
With the support of his Law Treasure and secret techniques, he unleashed an extremely terrifying speed, approaching thirty Heavenly Way Limit.
This speed is the limit for Jin Buhuan at this level. Even with the help of Secret Method and Law Treasure, he cannot go any faster. If he accelerates any further, he will be the first to disintegrate.
His muscles and bones were groaning, trembling, and overwhelmed, as if they would collapse at any moment.
Unfortunately, this speed is still too slow for the vast expanse beyond the endless realm.
Even if you want to get to a place where you can send a message, it will take several days.
Fortunately, Li Qi didn't chase after him and actually gave him a few days to get to the required distance.
Using Secret Method to discern gravity, and based on the attraction between worlds, he found a non-grade world floating outside the realm.
There are hundreds of millions of such worlds in the world group, and they can be seen everywhere.
Of course, this means that if you have the means to find it, you can find it anywhere. If you just rely on luck, you might not encounter it even if you drift for tens of thousands of years.
The desolation and emptiness beyond the borders, if not seen with one's own eyes, would far exceed anyone's imagination.
Even with the vastness of the world, it is difficult to collide with a second world in the void. It is truly unimaginable how the pioneers of the past discovered methods for traveling beyond the realms and crossed such a huge chasm.
However, there are historical records of this.
If we use the current Ninth Rank Classification Method, back then there wasn't even a third rank; the strongest was only fourth rank. Cultivation Method were also incomplete back then.
Therefore, when they were traversing the void, they chose to... withstand the attack.
By using gravitational perturbations and optical observations, the location of a certain world is calculated, then this calculated 'possible world' location is marked, and then the person packs their bags and sets off, drifting towards that location.
This is a journey that can easily take hundreds of thousands of years, which is indeed far too long, even for cultivators.
Furthermore, something interesting yet tragic happened during this operation.
Some of these pioneers who resolutely devoted themselves to the exploration of the stars were only of the sixth or seventh rank. After all, the strongest at that time was only of the fourth rank, so they could only choose to have the ability to live forever. Their numbers were not small, but their speed was too slow, slower than the development speed of the world.
Therefore, when someone later broke through to the third rank and was able to traverse the starry sky at an extremely fast speed, these people who set off later were actually faster than the pioneers.
During that period, pioneers traveled for tens of thousands of years and finally arrived at their destination, only to find that the destination had already been built and was ready to welcome them.
The scene was quite delicate, but no one would laugh at those pioneers who were at the seventh or sixth rank.
Because if the first group of pioneers hadn't found the worlds closest to the world and used them as food to nourish the first batch of three ranks, then the world alone could not have developed so quickly.
The world was not powerful from the beginning; it actually developed little by little.
This process... was not peaceful.
There is a reason why there is only one world among all the endless heavens.
Even now, many Dao Lineage have abandoned expansion and war, and it can even be said that they have no ill intentions towards the outside world, but they have still caused plunder in reality.
Even if they don't rob, countless people from other worlds will still flock to them for refuge.
Not to mention the Dao Lineage of Human Path.
Putting all that aside, Jin Buhuan is now doing the same clumsy method that the pioneers used back then: forcibly traversing the void with his physical body, finding a world, settling down, and then slowly getting things done.
However, this place had already been explored and was very familiar to him, so he didn't need to travel for tens of thousands of years; he found a usable world in just a few days.
Break through the barriers of the world and enter it.
This is an extremely desolate world, almost devoid of life. The earth is all rock, devoid of plants, and the water is empty, devoid of fish.
However, the faint green tinge rising from the water indicates the presence of some primitive microorganisms.
Even in a world that is considered lowly, such fragile life can be born.
And this is the seed of life.
The higher life forms of the future will be formed from these things, just like the current first-rank great beings were once ninth-rank beings.
Oh, not necessarily. Some people are born into high status, but they are a very small minority.
However, Jin Buhuan didn't care about any of that.
He plunged his hand directly into the ground.
Then, he unleashed power far exceeding that of this unworthy world! A powerful golden aura surged dozens of miles in an instant, and spread rapidly at that speed.
If viewed from God's perspective at this moment, one could see countless golden threads gushing from his hands, stretching endlessly towards the Earth's core.
The earth and sky began to tremble, and earthquakes began to erupt.
This was the last act of resistance from the Heavenly Dao this insignificant world before them, and the Heavenly Dao seemed to have realized something.
However, it was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as countless golden threads, after a few minutes of trekking, pierced through the Earth's core and found the heart of this world.
Then, these gold threads pierce through it directly.
The core of the world is something very mysterious; it is not some kind of 'matter,' but rather a concrete representation of the entire world, which cannot be accessed in an ordinary way.
However, Jin Buhuan can completely solve this problem.
After inserting his hand into it, he activated the Secret Method. This Heavenly Dao, which was merely of low quality, was instantly refined by him.
Having established a foothold, he then began to inspire the world.
After being refined, this world could no longer resist his control.
But the world's remaining vitality was being forced out, the heat that sustained the environment was being extracted in large quantities, and life in the ocean began to die off in large numbers.
The world's 'qi' was destructively extracted!
The world emitted a mournful wail, not the sobs of death, but the low murmur of destruction.
This fluctuation reverberates especially far into the void.
The fluctuations also carried Jin Buhuan's Secret Method, greatly accelerating the speed and enabling the message to be transmitted over extremely long and wide distances.
After doing this, the father will soon receive news of him.
Although this has destroyed a worthless world, it doesn't matter.
Such a world exists in countless quantities, and since there are no living beings in it, it cannot bear much karma.
After doing that, Jin Buhuan just sat there, panting heavily.
Finally, I can take a break.
After running away for several days, I finally have a chance to rest.
Jin Buhuan collapsed to the ground, his entire body almost completely drained, every part of his body aching, and his inner world on the verge of collapse.
His current situation is like an ordinary person being forced to undertake a long-distance journey. Even with the help of Law Treasure, namely a means of transportation, it would still be enough to exhaust a person to the point of near death, or even cause them to suddenly die.
They waited like this for several Chen.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose in the void!
The storm swept across hundreds of thousands of miles, even engulfing many worlds within it, and streaked across the void like a streak of light.
Amidst the howling storm, a golden tiger statue hundreds of miles tall resides within.
This fierce tiger image is right at the eye of the storm.
The wind comes from the tiger, and the tiger's power arises from the wind. The wind is the tiger's wings, and the tiger is the beast of the wind. Therefore, the tiger's roar generates the wind. The so-called "majestic power" comes from this story.
Even in this endless outer realm, when Green Mountain God Jin Chi was traveling, he could still conjure storms out of thin air, increasing his speed to an extremely terrifying level.
But the tiger's appearance was not made of bone, but of metal, radiating a dazzling light. It was full of spirit, and its eyes were bright and gleaming. It had the appearance of a solar or lunar eclipse, like a rainbow in broad daylight, with the five elements overlapping and the four directions multiplying. It looked like water drying up and mountains collapsing, and night and day darkening.
Even though there was no movement, one could still sense a gust of wind and thunder, a force capable of shattering mountains, from the stretching of the body. Sharp golden energy was mixed in with the storm, and anything of slightly lower strength would be mercilessly torn apart.
In fact, one could even see several unranked small worlds struggling to float in the storm surrounding the Green Mountain God, relying on the World Barrier to drift within it, like balloons in a storm, which could burst at any moment.
But the Green Mountain God didn't care about any of that. He was moving forward at full speed, using Secret Method to modify the speed limit of the Heavenly Dao around him, increasing his speed to dozens of times the Heavenly Way Limit!
For a sixth-rank cultivator, this is already incredibly fast, considering that even Shen Shuibi's cruising speed is only two hundred times the Heavenly Way Limit.
This is also the speed that Green Mountain God is proud of. Tigers are swift to begin with, and as a wind beast, they are even faster. Moreover, he is a metal element spirit beast, White Tiger with the bloodline of a true divine beast. With the sharpness of metal energy, his speed has broken through the limit.
Among those of the sixth rank, there are probably few who are faster than him.
The suppression of the Heavenly Dao in the outer realms is extremely low. Only in such unrestrained places can cultivators unleash their true power, truly causing the heavens and earth to crumble with every gesture.
It's no wonder that those cultivators in the world feel frustrated.
The suppression from the Heavenly Dao in the world is terrifying. Jin Chi's speed, which he was so proud of, is practically nonexistent in the world, yet there is nothing he can do about it.
At this speed, traveling through the endless outer realms, it is estimated that it will only take a few quarters of an hour to reach the small world where Jin Buhuan is located.
At that moment, on the shoulder of the enormous image of the Green Mountain God, stood a man with an indistinct face.
The face was blurry, not because it was unrecognizable. In fact, if you looked closely, you could clearly see his Five Officials, but if you looked again, you would find that it had become a completely new face.
Every time I blink or look away, I notice his face changes. But strangely, no matter how his face changes, I can always recognize him at a glance, and I never mistake him for someone else.
This appears to be some kind of special Technique Method.
Standing on the Green Mountain God's shoulder, the man said with a smile, "The Mountain God is indeed one of the best among the sixth-rank beings. Now it seems that the fifth rank is within reach. I observe that the Mountain God's foundation is already solid. As long as he receives enough resources, I think the opportunity for advancement will be within two or three hundred years."
"You flatter me, Demon Lord. Jin Chi only has the advantage of bloodline. As for his aptitude, it is really dull. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be hovering around the sixth rank." Although Green Mountain God's Dharma form was domineering and powerful, he spoke with exceptional kindness and politeness.
But that's quite normal.
Only idiots act all domineering all the time.
Politeness is fundamental to interpersonal relationships. Being rude is the same no matter who you are dealing with, unless you are so strong that you don't care about anyone's opinion, or you are simply here to cause trouble. Otherwise, maintaining politeness is always the right choice, no matter who you are dealing with.
It is both a sign of respect for the other person and a sign of respect for oneself.
Judging from the title "Green Mountain God," the man with the unpredictable appearance before them must be the mastermind behind this operation.
The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.
"Haha, you've only been cultivating for a little over six thousand years, yet you've already reached the sixth rank. How many people in this world can be faster than you? I was stuck at the seventh rank for at least ten thousand years before I finally figured out the method of turning the illusory into the real. It was much slower than you. Cultivation is inherently difficult for us Demon Race. It's already quite remarkable that you were able to become a god with the body of a demon."
Jin Chi seemed quite pleased with these words, nodding slightly.
Cultivation is more difficult for Demon Race than for many naturally born spiritual beings, or for Human Race and dragons. The pure path of demons is even more arduous, and only a few with the potential to become great saints can succeed.
Therefore, Demon Race usually use other people's resources to cultivate other Dao Lineage.
This is why most of those who cultivate the divine path in the world are various kinds of spirits and monsters. There are also many demons in the Human Path and Shaman Path. Even the Way of Evolution of the East Sea Dragon Clan is almost 99% cultivated by Demon Race, since true dragons are too few in number.
"With the Demon Lord's help this time, and my support from the side, even two or three ordinary fifth-rank cultivators shouldn't be a match for us. We should be able to take over the Sacred Flame Realm. I am truly grateful for the Demon Lord's assistance. If I had come alone, it would have been quite difficult. I really don't know how to thank you enough. After we take over the Sacred Flame Realm, please accept the Sacred Flame Tribe as yours, Demon Lord." Green Mountain God thanked the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.
"There's no need for that. We both come from the same lineage of the Mountain Moving Great Sage, so helping each other is only natural. I also hope that you will advance to the fifth rank soon and become my right-hand man. Only when we, as fellow disciples, join forces can we gain a foothold in this Baiyue land. The current situation of being surrounded by wolves still needs to be broken slowly." The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord quickly refused.
The two demons, you take the initiative, I decline, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
In the blink of an eye, a distance of hundreds of millions of miles was traversed, and the two demons simultaneously descended upon the small world where Jin Buhuan was hiding.
A Fifth Rank Great Demon and a sixth-rank mountain god—the mere pressure from their arrival was enough to crush that small world!
"Where is my son? Your father has arrived! Show yourself at once!" The Green Mountain God's Dharma form roared out with a tremendous voice.
Jin Buhuan's face lit up with joy. He transformed into a giant tiger with golden fur and white stripes and roared, "Father, I'm here!"
