The World Below

Perhaps the Great Dao Sect did not start out with this, but the addition of a large number of Lineage and the continuous support of the imperial power led to a change in its foundation.

Gently drop the newsletter into the fire pit, then wait for it to carbonize before crushing it.

Zhang Rongfang sighed softly.

Everything he had planned was originally in perfect order.

He was just waiting for Ding Yu to scout ahead and confirm that the Heaven Lock Sect truly possessed the Treasure Medicine before he would go and seize it.

But now, Ling Emperor's death has disrupted everything.

Amidst profound global changes, all forms of stability may be subject to turmoil and upheaval.

"I hope everything is alright." His only consolation was that he was back now, with his Elder Sister and Brother-in-law- in-law's family.

With him here, Wushan Prefecture should be as stable as Mount Tai.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be slaughtered! Thump thump thump.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the courtyard gate.

"Who?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"It's me, Jin Xiu," a soft female voice said.

Zhang Rongfang casually picked up a crumpled piece of paper from the side and flicked it with his finger.

The paper ball flew more than ten meters, accurately hitting the door latch and bouncing it upwards.

"Come in."

The courtyard gate slowly opened.

A beautiful woman, youthful yet mature, gracefully entered the room.

It was Jin Xiu, whom I hadn't seen for several years.

After receiving the news, she dressed up carefully and thought for a long time about where she should be before coming to find Zhang Rongfang.

At this moment, she was wearing a dark red, fitted long dress that accentuated her full curves, with the dress tightly cinching her waist and chest.

Her long black hair was tied up in a round bun at the back, with two strands framing her face, giving her a gentle and graceful look.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she shuddered.

Looking through the courtyard gate, Zhang Rongfang stood silently like a high wall.

Even with a head transplant for his comeback, Zhang Rongfang is 2.5 meters tall, can only be reduced to 2.3 meters.

This height is significantly shorter than Jin Xiu's 1.6 meters!

Jin Xiu had long heard that Zhang Rongfang had grown quite tall, but hearing about it was still not as astonishing as seeing it with her own eyes.

When she saw that head, the first thing that came to her mind was not anything else.

Instead, it's all over, people are going to die. "Come in." Zhang Rongfang looked at Jin Xiu'er.

This woman was the person he had chosen to protect and cover for his sister. But now, it seems somewhat unsuitable.

The two are too different in height and build.

The difference in physical strength is too great; a slight mistake could be fatal.

"I... I came here to see you," Jin Xiu'er said, closing the door and forcing a smile through gritted teeth.

She slowly approached, and the closer she got, the stronger the sense of oppression she felt.

Height is only one aspect; body width is also important.

Her thigh wasn't even as thick as Zhang Rongfang's single arm.

"As promised, I am your person. So, I am now." Jin Xiu'er tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart. Since she had received benefits over the past few years, if she dared to go back on her word, she might be drowned in the river in the blink of an eye.

With the power of the Mu Chi Family, achieving this would be as simple as saying a word.

Zhang Rongfang stared silently at Jin Xiu'er in front of him.

"Now you can see my size and build, do you still want to give it a try?"

In truth, the most suitable partner in his heart is someone like Zhang Zhenhai. Given his current physical strength, only someone of the Super Grade could barely handle him.

Otherwise, a little impulsiveness could turn a joyous occasion into a tragedy.

"I do!" Jin Xiu'er said earnestly through gritted teeth.

Zhang Rongfang fell silent for a moment.

"Close the door."

Regardless, Jin Xiu was already considered by everyone to be his person, so the matter was now settled.

Let's give it a try.

"Okay!" Jin Xiu'er felt her voice trembling.

But her purpose in coming here was to truly and completely integrate into Zhang Rongfang.

To achieve this, given her special relationship and background, the only way was to have a child with him! Half an hour later, Zhang Rongfang sighed and took Jin Xiu, whose body was covered in wounds, to a nearby clinic to recuperate.

Jin Xiu were even covered in blood and flesh, and she was almost completely exhausted.

In the end, he gained nothing. Zhang Rongfang, who had already cultivated his vital organs and sensitive parts into Indestructible Body, felt nothing at all from beginning to end. In the clinic, Zhang Rongfang thought a lot.

After Jin Xiu woke up, he comforted her for a few moments, asked the Jin Family to come and pick her up, and then got up and left.

In any case, Jin Xiu had become one of his own. After this battle, he realized that it was no longer possible for him to find an ordinary woman like an ordinary person.

Only martial artists of the Super Grade or above are qualified to become his partner.

Back in the courtyard.

Zhang Rongfang stopped his random thoughts and focused his attention back on Civilian Skill.

Yes.

Since we've already upgraded it, let's keep upgrading it and see what surprises the final Civilian Skill brings him.

In any case, it's more worthwhile to increase your life by improving your Civilian Skill than to directly add life points.

He sat cross-legged in the room.

He closed his eyes and looked at his Attribute Panel.

The Free Attributes has accumulated to 6 points.

Civilian Skill, however, remained in the same state as before.

Supreme Bright Void Skill (Sixth Realm - Late Stage of Refining Spirit).

"I have all the techniques for Refining Spirit Perfection, but after that, I'm completely lost Supreme Bright Void Skill for Return to Emptiness to Return to Emptiness only has vague records of it. Never mind, let's go up and take a look first!"

Zhang Rongfang immediately looked at the plus sign after Civilian Skill and tapped it lightly.

This time, it wasn't three attribute points that were consumed, but five points that disappeared! In the blink of an eye, the words "Late Stage of Refining Spirit" blurred and disappeared, replaced by "Refining Spirit Perfection".

And at this very moment.

Zhang Rongfang felt a tiny new blood sac growing on one side of the lotus vein on his back! "Could it be!?" He was startled.

Before he could even think, a flood of cultivation memories rushed into his mind.

Meanwhile, his health points gradually increased from 224 to 229.

This time, the improvement in Civilian Skill did not include any extra points.

Instead, it increases by the same amount.

Before long, everything settled down.

Zhang Rongfang gradually came back to his senses from the flood of memories.

He opened his eyes and felt a hazy white light flash before his eyes.

The white light quickly dissipated.

And in his mind, the tennis ball woven from the pure energy exhaled by the Nascent Soul had now grown even larger.

The tennis ball bounced slowly, in sync with his heartbeat.

Zhang Rongfang knew that this special frequency state had appeared again.

Last time, in this state, he was lured by the Blood God and almost got into trouble.

Therefore, this time, he was extremely vigilant.

"Come"

Come here.

"Come quickly!"

Suddenly, he heard a faint voice calling his name from afar.

The voice seemed to belong to a woman; it was soft, high-pitched, like a girl's voice, yet also like a mature woman's.

Moreover, the timbre of the sound made Zhang Rongfang involuntarily frown.

He felt like he'd heard that voice somewhere before.

That sense of familiarity felt like he knew someone.

While he was still pondering, his body unconsciously stood up and slowly walked towards the door.

The direction they were heading was precisely the direction from which the woman's voice had come.

*** Dan Province, Cloud Glow Mountain.

Amidst countless endless stretches of dark Sea of Trees, large amounts of red soil can be vaguely seen on the ground.

On a not-so-obvious mountain path in the forest.

A tall, robust man was walking briskly along the road.

The man had a resolute expression and bright eyes. He was at least two meters tall, and apart from his height, he looked no different from the other martial Jianghu practitioners traveling alone.

This person was none other than Sweeping Mountain Tiger Ding Yu, who had taken over Zhang Rongfang's mission.

Ding Yu was alone, dressed as a wandering knight, carrying a short metal stick and a large bundle, his body covered in dust from his journey.

He left immediately on the day he accepted the mission.

Now, after three days of walking, I have finally reached the border of Dan Province.

Passing through a huge banyan tree that is as thick as three people could hug, Ding Yu stood on the roots protruding from the ground and looked ahead.

A gray-white road can be vaguely seen ahead, winding its way forward.

"It's Official Road!?" Ding Yu was immediately overjoyed.

Hurry up and move forward.

"Damn it, what bad luck! How did this godforsaken place become such a mess? Even the Official Road is broken and incomplete, making us brothers take a long and winding road!"

Just then, faint curses could be heard from the Official Road.

Ding Yu paused, stood by the Official Road, and casually killed a green venomous snake that was trying to bite him.

After discarding the snake carcass, they saw First Squad people slowly making their way along the Official Road.

The group was small, only about ten people. But their voices could be heard coming from within.

Ding Yu couldn't understand some of the words either; they seemed to be the local dialect of Dan Province.

"Hey, someone's here!?" Suddenly, the people in the opposing team saw Ding Yu and all showed surprise.

"A person? An outsider? How strange!" The two men stared at Ding Yu in surprise.

"He's so tall." The girls in the group were all young, with bright eyes and white teeth, and were all quite pretty. However, their clothes were completely different from those of the women Ding Yu had seen before.

They wore many different kinds of small bundles, and each ear had at least three pairs of silver earrings.

Some even wore a flower made of earrings on their ears, which looked quite exaggerated.

Moreover, he noticed that none of these people were more than 1.8 meters tall; they were all short.

Ding Yu ran with the map in hand, completely oblivious to where she was.

So he went up and asked for directions.

"Friends, could you tell me which area this is? I'm traveling through the Lin Li and I'm starting to lose my way."

His first stop was Huanxi County in Dan Province, where members of the Five Cauldrons Sect frequently appeared.

"Here." One of the tallest women stepped forward and looked Ding Yu up and down.

"This is Black Dragon Township on Stone Spring Road. Hey bro, where are you headed?"

Ding Yu smiled and was about to reply politely.

Suddenly, his legs inexplicably went weak, and all his strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

'Oh no!' He had a bad feeling, but it was too late to react.

Thump.

Ding Yu collapsed to the ground, her eyes rolling back in her head.

In the last moment of his mind, all he heard was the woman's coquettish laughter.

"Hey, this one's mine! Don't take it! Look at his physique, he might be good as a new ox."

"Then you've really hit the jackpot!"

The others laughed with envy.

"These people from other provinces are really nice, plump and healthy, that's great."

"He's not unconscious yet, let's give him some more medicine. Otherwise he might run away."

"Um."

Soon, another gentle breeze blew, and Ding Yu's heart sank as she completely lost consciousness.
