When experts exchanged blows, a single instant could decide life and death.
Even in the Earth Immortal Realm, with an immortal body of extraordinary resilience, taking a full-force strike from a cultivator of the same realm would leave little fighting strength even if one survived.
Xuan Yuan wore a grief-stricken expression. "As long as it's useful, that's enough. So long as Master is powerful, this little turtle will be happy even if he accomplishes nothing."
As he spoke, a few tears even rolled down his face, making him look pitiful.
Wang Daoyuan was rather speechless. "Enough. Don't you just want to comprehend the Dao beneath the Immortal Dao Tree again?
"The secret art you gave me is indeed quite useful, so I should give you some benefits.
"I'll allow you to comprehend the Dao beneath the Immortal Dao Tree for another three months. This matter ends here—don't try this act on me again."
Having received his promise, Xuan Yuan immediately went from sorrow to joy, his two mung-bean eyes narrowing until they vanished.
Big Black, who was guarding the Immortal Dao Tree, looked upon Xuan Yuan's disgraceful display with disdain.
Wang Daoyuan asked, "Big Black, do you need to cultivate beneath the Immortal Dao Tree?"
Big Black shook his head. "Second Young Master, there's no such thing as comprehending the Dao in my bloodline inheritance.
"I only need to devour spiritual objects to strengthen myself. There's no need to think about anything else.
"Even when breaking through realms, I don't need to fuss with things like a Heavenly Dao Vessel. That thing will form on its own."
Wang Daoyuan was somewhat puzzled. "How could there be such a peculiar thing?"
Xuan Yuan chuckled. "It isn't particularly strange. Brother Black cannot really be considered a true member of the Demon Race.
