Outside Heavenly Corpse Ridge.
Gu Yu and Xu Fei were lying on a patch of grass, legs crossed, grass in their mouths, chatting away.
Little Nine lay on a tree branch, belly exposed, fast asleep.
And you know what? The nine black heads coiled together really do look like an old tree root.
At that moment, a stench of blood, carried by the wind, swept over!
"Blood!"
Xu Fei jolted awake and sat up!
Gu Yu slowly sat up straight and spat out the yellow grass from his mouth.
They saw a man in purple robes, with hunched shoulders, slowly emerge from within Heavenly Corpse Ridge.
The smell of blood was coming from him.
Upon seeing the man in purple robes, Xu Fei's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost!
He was stunned!
So shocked I couldn't even speak!
The man appeared weak and listless. As soon as he came out, he saw Gu Yu and the other person.
They exchanged a glance.
They both fell silent.
There was a strange undertone to the space.
Gu Yu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, there are still living people in this place? Hey buddy, you're pretty awesome! You dared to go to Heavenly Corpse Ridge and come out alive, that's impressive!"
The man in the purple robe was injured and didn't want to pay him any attention, so he walked straight outside.
At that moment, Gu Yu suddenly blurted out, "Brother, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know Xie Feng? He's been in there for a long time, and we haven't heard from him at all!"
Upon hearing this name, the purple-robed man's expression changed slightly!
He had already walked quite a distance when he suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at Gu Yu, and slowly asked, "You just said Xie Feng? Is that the name? Is he a man in a blue robe?"
Gu Yu nodded. "It's him!"
The man in purple robes asked in a low voice, "What is your relationship with him?"
Gu Yu smiled, "He is my master!"
The purple-robed man nodded slightly. The next second, he moved his hand, and the Heavenly Nether Halberd appeared. He wielded the halberd and charged straight at Gu Yu's face!
The Gu Yu was so startled that it instinctively ran backward!
The man's imposing aura made him feel extremely threatened, which meant that the two were not even in the same league in terms of cultivation!
"Holy crap! You're not Master's enemy, are you? Why are you so agitated by just one sentence! Little Nine, help me!"
Gu Yu ran as fast as she could, frantically calling for help.
That loud voice woke up Little Nine, who was sleeping in the tree next to them.
It sat up, glanced down casually, and its heart skipped a beat. It immediately transformed into a ferocious beast, opened its blood-red maw, and swooped down towards the purple-robed man!
From its mouth spewed out a series of terrifyingly large fireballs!
The fireball struck the unsuspecting man in purple robes.
His face looked like he'd eaten shit!
He hadn't expected there to be such a powerful monster here!
"More powerful than Universe Level being? This guy... could he be Eternity- level monster?!"
The man in purple robes felt a jolt in his heart and instantly cowered.
He quickly abandoned his pursuit of Gu Yu, only glaring at him fiercely. Not daring to provoke him, he had no choice but to slip away!
A crisis has passed.
Gu Yu patted his heart, " Little Nine, it has to be you again!"
Little Nine shook its nine heads proudly and said, "I am the Chaos Jiuying! If you acknowledge me as your eldest brother, I'll definitely protect you if anything happens in the future!"
Gu Yu's lips twitched. "Does Master know about your desire to be the eldest brother?"
Little Nine blinked eighteen eyes. "Ah, well, hehe, just kidding, just kidding... Wait! Oh no, someone seems to be scared stiff!"
They both turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Fei.
Xu Fei's expression froze, she remained motionless.
Gu Yu flicked him on the forehead. "Brother, are you alright? You're a member of our adventure team, how could you be so easily scared?"
Xu Fei then came to his senses. Just as he was about to say something, the space suddenly rippled, and three people walked out from Heavenly Corpse Ridge.
"I can finally speak fluently again!"
A short boy inhaled the fresh air outside, raised his hands, and shouted with joy.
It was Yao Cang.
Behind him walked Xie Feng and Xie Ling slowly.
Gu Yu rushed forward with delight, "Judging from Master's radiant appearance, he must have obtained the Heart of the Creation God!"
Xie Feng nodded, then took out the crimson Heart of the Creation God.
A faint glow, yet radiant with brilliance.
The boundless energy invigorated everyone.
When the Heart of the Creation God left Heavenly Corpse Ridge, the blood-red, sprawling mountain range behind them soon turned into a lush, green landscape, indistinguishable from ordinary towering mountains!
This explains why the previous blood-red hues became so strange precisely because of the existence of this Heart of the Creation God.
Now that the heart is gone, things have naturally returned to normal.
Next comes dividing the spoils... oh no... allocating time!!
The Heart of the Creation God was large enough that there were six of them, Xie Feng divided equally into six parts.
Xie Ling said, "Little brother, I've already reached the Great Emperor level, so I don't need to use the Heart of the Creation God to enhance my power anymore. Besides, this kind of energy is just a drop in the ocean for me, so I'll give you mine."
Little Nine shook his head and said, "Same here!"
It is an Eternity level being more powerful than Universe Level Beast, and the Heart of the Creation God is dispensable to it.
In that case, Xie Feng will have three portions all to himself!
Gu Yu, Yao Cang, and Xu Fei had no objections; they simply felt they had latched onto a super powerful patron.
If the older brother eats meat, the younger brother can eat meat too!
This shows how important it is to have a good mentor!
Xie Feng and the others sat down cross-legged on the spot, while Xie Ling and Little Nine acted as "protectors," keeping watch for any other dangers and creating a safe environment for them to cultivate.
This Heart of the Creation God, refined over countless years, has had its strong impurities melted away, leaving only the purest energy.
This energy is extremely gentle and far-reaching; even an ordinary person with no cultivation can easily absorb it.
Therefore, everyone absorbed the nutrients very smoothly.
Time passed slowly, Dusk enveloped them as they gazed at the four silent, motionless sculptures.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot straight into the sky!
Come from Yao Cang!
Yao Cang has broken through to the Peak God King!
boom!
Xu Fei has also broken through to the Peak God King!
Next came the Gu Yu. After absorbing this energy, his cultivation level instantly surged from the Initial Divine Saint to the Advanced Divine Saint!
Finally, Xie Feng's body flashed with golden light for a moment, then he silently opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.
Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Master, you've broken through?"
Xie Feng felt the abundant energy within his body and nodded with a smile.
Yao Cang's eyes widened. "Our breakthroughs are all earth-shattering, so why is it that yours, Teacher, is so quiet and unnoticed?"
Xie Ling said, "There's a saying that great achievements seem flawed. The higher one's strength, the less likely one is to create any earth-shattering events. Instead, it may seem as if there's a flaw, and one may remain silent and unnoticed. If I were to create a commotion, it would certainly be more shocking than yours."
"So, Master, what realm are you in now?"
Gu Yu asked curiously.
