Xu Qingtong emerged from the small black hill where the barrier lay and drew a deep breath, immediately feeling a sense of familiarity!
"The Human Realm is still the best. Even the air is sweet!" Only then did Xu Qingtong realize how much better the environment of the Human Realm was than that of the Demon Realm. Even the moon overhead was rounder than the one in the Demon Realm!
It truly bore out the old saying: a nest of gold or silver was no match for one's own doghouse. However fine other places might be, none was as good as home!
Xu Qingtong spread his Divine Sense, taking in everything within a hundred li. Seeing nothing unusual, he looked up at the sky again. The moon hung at a slant overhead. Judging by its position, it should have been the Chou Hour.
He had successfully formed his core. Although he could not yet count among the powerful on the Central Province Continent, he had squeezed into the middle ranks. Moreover, he had also formed a Demonic Core, and his Shamanic Arts had reached the Witch Spirit Realm. He could just about protect himself now.
There was also Xiao Qi, who had reached the Fifth Tier-a genuine Golden Core-level being. Together, the two of them should have been able to put up a fight even against someone at the Nascent Soul Early Stage!
Thinking of Xiao Qi suddenly reminded Xu Qingtong of something, and he summoned both Xiao Bai and Xizi.
"Xiao Bai, Xizi, I've formed my Golden Core! As I promised before, it's time to return your Soul Blood!"
As he spoke, Xu Qingtong formed a Mudra and touched the space between his brows, forcing out two drops of Soul Blood that flew toward Xiao Bai and Xizi respectively.
