Lin Yue: Senior, Don't Worry, I'm Very Cautious

After another wave of energy impact, the defensive barrier fluctuated slightly before stabilizing. Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, snapping out of his cultivation.

He looked at Pangu's still steady figure, a surge of gratitude welling up in his heart. During this time, if it weren't for the Senior's constant protection, he would likely have been injured by some energy wave long ago.

"Senior, thank you for your hard work," Lin Yue said sincerely.

Pangu slowly opened his eyes and glanced at him. "No need for words. Just focus on your cultivation."

"Okay." Lin Yue nodded, then seemed to remember something and patted his chest, assuring, "Don't worry, Senior. I definitely won't run around. I'll focus on cultivating and improving my strength, and I won't drag you down."

He knew that the only thing he could do now was to improve his strength as quickly as possible and not cause trouble for Pangu.

To put Pangu at ease and to make better use of resources, Lin Yue took the initiative to collect energy stones and clear out any hidden dangers in the vicinity.

Every day, he would stay within Pangu's line of sight, never crossing the boundary. He would carefully inspect the defensive barrier around the cave for any damage, and he would also search nearby for energy-containing stones to bring back to the cave for storage, just in case.

Once, while collecting energy stones, he discovered a low-level ferocious beast trying to approach the cave. He didn't rashly attack. Instead, he retreated to Pangu's side, sought permission, and only then, under the Senior's watchful gaze, did he deal with it using the Chaos Little Light Orb.

"Not bad, you've learned to be cautious," Pangu said, praising him for his steadiness.

Lin Yue chuckled. "Of course. You've taught me well, Senior. Besides, I know now is not the time for impulsiveness. Laying low is the way to go."

"Laying low?" Pangu blinked, clearly unfamiliar with the term.

"It means... surviving cautiously, not taking unnecessary risks," Lin Yue explained.

Pangu nodded slightly. "Hmm, that is indeed a sound principle."

In the following days, Lin Yue's cultivation entered the fast lane.

During the day, he would absorb energy frantically with the help of the Innate Spirit Spring and energy blocks, pushing towards the late stage of High-level Chaos. At night, he would practice spells. He had improved the Chaos Little Light Orb, making it not only more powerful but also able to change direction while flying, making it more unpredictable. He also began to try condensing simple defensive shields. Although they were still very weak, they were better than nothing.

Occasionally, he would also simulate combat scenarios with ferocious beasts or even Demon Gods, based on the offensive and defensive trajectory diagrams Pangu had drawn earlier, deducing various countermeasures.

During this process, Lin Yue gradually discovered that he seemed to be able to faintly sense the aura of the "Law of Heaven Opening" around Pangu. That aura was vast and majestic, as if it contained the power of creation and destruction. Although he couldn't comprehend its mysteries, it allowed his state of mind to become more peaceful, making him less impatient during cultivation and speeding up his progress in breaking through bottlenecks.

"This Law of Heaven Opening is truly profound," Lin Yue sighed inwardly, his respect for Senior Pangu deepening.

As time went by, Lin Yue's strength grew, and the bottleneck of the late stage of High-level Chaos became increasingly loose. He knew that breaking through was only a matter of time.

Outside the cave, the battles between the Demon Gods seemed to have gradually subsided. Although the Chaos Qi flow was still turbulent, the world-ending pressure had lessened considerably.

Lin Yue knew that perhaps the gathering of Demon Gods had ended, and Chaos had temporarily ushered in a period of relative peace.

But he did not let his guard down, staying by Pangu's side and steadily improving his strength. He understood that the peace in Chaos was only temporary; only by becoming strong himself could he stand firm in the storms to come.

"Lay low, cultivate, get stronger..." Lin Yue chanted in his heart, his gaze firm as he looked towards the distant Chaos Qi flow. His path of cultivation continued.
