The next day, early morning,
Jiang Liu awoke from his meditation at the bottom of the cliff. He spread his Divine Sense to cover the surroundings and discovered that his Divine Sense had unknowingly exceeded six hundred meters, and was now over six hundred meters.
It should be noted that the consciousness range of a typical Rank 9 Martial Practitioner is no more than three hundred meters, and that is only for those with strong mental power. Now, Jiang Liu's Divine Sense range is more than twice that of Rank 9 Martial Practitioner.
Correspondingly, his mental strength is more than twice that of Rank 9 Martial Practitioner. Now, Jiang Liu dares to say that his mental strength is comparable to that of Minor Grandmaster.
Because the most basic requirement for Minor Grandmaster is that their mental strength must be more than twice that of Rank 9 Martial Practitioner.
Immediately, Jiang Liu's mind stirred, and a deep blue light screen appeared before him.
Name: Jiang Liu
Realm: Martial Artist (Ninth Rank)
Alchemy (Minor Success 20/500)
Medical Skills (Minor Success 56/1500)
Cultivation Technique: Annihilation by Thought (Heaven Grade, Peak Rank Entry-Level 3486/8000)
Eight Steps of Trampling (Earth Grade, Low Rank Mastery 296/6600)
Frost Nether Palm (Earth Grade, Low Rank Lesser Mastery 1438/2200)
Exploding Fist (Mystic Peak-Grade Mastery, 826/6000) (Trait: Tiger's Gaze)
Demon Quelling Blade (Mystic High-Grade, Mastery 1342/4800)
Beast Mastery Art (Basic Chapter) (Mystic Grade, Low Rank Level, Mastery 6/3000)
Looking at the panel, Jiang Liu unconsciously fell into deep thought. He was almost at the Grandmaster level! And the basic chapter of the Beast Mastery Art was almost complete. It seemed he should make a trip to the Exotic Beast Valley.
Then, Jiang Liu took out the bead he had obtained the night before. The bead was small, just the right size to fit in the palm of his hand. He held it up to the sunlight and observed that it was completely transparent inside, as if it were formed from condensed water droplets.
If it weren't a solid, Jiang Liu would have suspected that the bead would dissolve into the air and disappear. After carefully sensing it, he realized that the surrounding Essence Particles automatically gathered into the bead, which explained why it could provide such a rich concentration of elemental energy.
Jiang Liu then carefully put the bead into his pocket. This was a treasure that could provide him with abundant vital energy at all times, so he had to keep it safe and secure.
Jiang Liu then spread out to explore the area around the cliff. After searching the area at the bottom of the cliff, he found that it was just an ordinary cliff with a large grassland in front of it. The forest was still far away. However, one thing was very strange: there were no Exotic Beast.
Hmm? No Exotic Beast? Jiang Liu suddenly sensed something was amiss.
The Jiang Liu sped up and flew towards the forest.
They reached the forest but found no trace of any Exotic Beast.
This place is getting more and more interesting, and Jiang Liu suddenly felt interested in continuing his exploration.
Previously, I didn't dare to continue exploring the Freezing Wind Valley because I wasn't strong enough. Now, I definitely need to explore this strange place thoroughly.
Jiang Liu flew along the forest, almost reaching the edge, but still found no trace of any Exotic Beast. Jiang Liu flew straight out from the edge of the forest, and with a "whoosh," it felt like he broke through an air wall.
The sounds of Exotic Beast filled the air, and a group of Exotic Beast were fighting not far away.
Jiang Liu was stunned. How could he not hear such a loud Exotic Beast sound in the forest?
He then turned and flew towards the forest, "Thump!" As if he had hit a wall, Jiang Liu was bounced back.
Jiang Liu was dumbfounded. What was going on? He could only go out, but couldn't go in?
How could I get in from the other side of the cliff? Jiang Liu was completely baffled.
At this moment, the fighting Exotic Beast stopped and then roared as they attacked Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu reluctantly released his mental pressure to cover the entire area. With Annihilation by Thought, all the Exotic Beast collapsed to the ground. These Exotic Beast, whose highest rank was only Seventh Grade, were definitely not enough for Jiang Liu to Annihilation by Thought!
Jiang Liu then issued a command to the Frostwing Dragon through his mental imprint, instructing it to collect the Exotic Beast.
Not long after, a huge beastly shadow appeared above Jiang Liu. When Jiang Liu looked up, he saw that the Frostwing Dragon's body was even larger than before, and the aura emanating from it was even more powerful. This was at least at the level of Beast King.
It seems this Frostwing Dragon has evolved into Beast King! Jiang Liu used the mental imprint to understand that the information the Frostwing Dragon could transmit was now much clearer than before.
Jiang Liu then realized that when the Frostwing Dragon ate the skeleton of the Dwarf Dragon, it was already close to advancing in rank. Now that it had eaten a Three-Eyed Flying Tiger at the level of a Lesser Beast King, it was just about to advance in rank.
The Frostwing Dragon spewed out a Primal Qi Storm, sweeping up all the Exotic Beast corpses on the ground and sending them flying into its gaping maw.
Jiang Liu was stunned upon seeing this. Was there really such a thing as eating like this? Who could afford to feed such Exotic Beast?
Ignoring the Frostwing Dragon, Jiang Liu turned around and continued to study what was going on in this forest.
In the secret chamber of the Ascension Tower, Murong Yin Murong Yin Murong Aotian were sitting together discussing the recent situation of the Murong Family.
"Grandpa Aotian, is there no one in our Murong Family who meets your standards?" Murong Yin asked.
"Sigh! There was one originally, but unfortunately, that brat from the Luo Family led him astray," Murong Aotian said helplessly.
"The Luo Family again? What is the Luo Family's purpose? Is it to try and annex our Murong Family?" Murong Yin asked suspiciously.
"Yin'er, you must understand that in this environment, everything the Lineage members do is for the benefit of the Lineage. Only when the Lineage is strong can we have a place to live and work in peace," Murong Aotian said in a desolate tone.
"Lineage interests!" Murong Yin muttered to himself.
"Yes! When your Lineage falls into ruin, or when the power behind you declines, you will experience what it means to be cold-hearted and indifferent to the world."
"Grandpa Aotian, has something happened?" Murong Yin asked, noticing the desolate look on Murong Aotian's face.
"I was just thinking of a friend of mine!" Murong Aotian said cryptically.
"Friend? What's become of your friend now?" Murong Yin continued, puzzled.
"He's been dead for a long time. His Sects used to be on par with the Three Great Sects, but now it's fallen into ruin and he's dead!"
"On par with the Three Sects? How come I've never heard of it?" Murong Yin exclaimed in surprise.
"You've definitely never heard of this Sects. It was wiped out over two hundred years ago, and they've been hiding and barely surviving ever since. Where did you hear that from?"
"Ah! Since it was on par with the Three Sects, who destroyed it?" Murong Yin was greatly surprised.
"You say it's on par with the Three Sects, then who else has the ability to destroy it?" Murong Aotian said, looking at Murong Yin.
"You mean the three sects! Or the three sects united?" Murong Yin asked incredulously.
"What's so strange about that? It's all just a struggle for interests. That's why I was lamenting earlier that it's hard to grow smoothly without the support of powerful figures behind you."
Murong Yin nodded. "So the Luo Family has been trying to weaken my Murong Family all along?"
"Yes!" Murong Aotian nodded. "So you must be careful, I'm afraid he might target you!"
Murong Yin nodded solemnly.
