Dao Lord Taichu sat cross-legged and circulated his cultivation technique, beginning to consolidate his cultivation.
About a day later, he finally recovered. Joy appeared on his face; he knew that he was only one step away from a breakthrough.
He then turned to Liu Xue beside him and said with a smile, "Liu Xue, let's go train in the Dark Forest outside the city. Perhaps I can use this opportunity to break through!"
"Sure!"
Liu Xue agreed with a smile.
Before long, the two arrived at a region of the Dark Forest. Many demon clans lived here, though they were all Monster Beasts.
"Hm?"
The moment they stepped inside, they immediately sensed the forest's strangeness.
When those Monster Beasts saw Dao Lord Taichu and Liu Xue arrive, they did not react in the slightest.
"Why aren't these Monster Beasts reacting? Were they scared senseless?" Liu Xue muttered.
Dao Lord Taichu was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down again. "Something's wrong. These Monster Beasts are all being controlled."
"Controlled? Who could be capable enough to control these Monster Beasts so easily?" Liu Xue asked in astonishment.
These Monster Beasts possessed immense, heaven-reaching power. They were far from ordinary—how could they possibly be controlled so easily?
Yet that was exactly what had happened.
Dao Lord Taichu shook his head without saying more, instead leading Liu Xue on a leisurely stroll through the forest.
Two days later.
Inside a valley, Dao Lord Taichu and Liu Xue were roasting meat, its fragrance drifting through the air.
"Someone's coming?"
Suddenly, Liu Xue frowned. She heard a set of footsteps coming from the forest.
The footsteps sounded heavy and cold.
"Don't worry. We have a Restriction here. Unless they've reached the Demon God realm, they can't get in."
As Dao Lord Taichu spoke, he continued eating.
