After Xiao Tian left, Yuan Daqiang looked at the jade slip in his hand, his expression extremely excited.
"I've wanted this for countless years! And then, just like that, I got it by sheer coincidence!"
"Ancestor! Rest assured! Your unworthy successor will certainly work hard! You will definitely strive to find a successor who can inherit your lineage!"
The World-Chaos Demon Ape in the Primordial Unity Zone heard Yuan Daqiang's inner thoughts and couldn't help but sigh.
Clearly, it didn't have much hope or expectation for Yuan Daqiang.
Xiao Tian found Big Black Bull, Xuanlong, and others. Except for Kabuta whereabouts were unknown, everyone else selected their spoils of war.
"Brother, did you succeed?" Big Black Bull was genuinely curious.
Xiao Tian sighed and said, "This is not my path, so I refuse."
"So you saw the World-Chaos Demon Ape? What did that guy look like? Tell us about it,"
"As expected of my master!" Xuanlong's eyes were filled with starlight of admiration.
"Lord Xiao Tian, why did you refuse?" Tianxuzi was shocked and somewhat puzzled.
That's the legendary World-Chaos Demon Ape!
"It's probably just bragging," muttered the Immortal in Wine.
In an instant, the Immortal in Wine felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end, realizing that he was being watched.
"Hey, the World-Chaos Demon Ape looks quite approachable. It appears in human form. Although it tried its best to persuade me to stay, I still resolutely refused. However, as a supplement to my stay, I can take any of the treasures here."
Xiao Tian chuckled and, in front of everyone, immediately began his house-demolition spree.
"This crystal chandelier is nice, I'll take it."
"This glass sky lantern cannot be kept either."
Big Black Bull and the others were dumbfounded.
"Brother! Don't be impulsive! This isn't outside!" Big Black Bull hurriedly went to pull the man away.
Although it is also adept at destroying and looting, it is well aware that this place is not one of those ordinary secret realms outside.
" Brother Niu, don't panic. Take this; even if the monkey comes out, he won't say a word."
"Really?" The Big Black Bull was a little incredulous. Looking at the extremely pure Blood Essence Stone in his hand, he swallowed hard. Absorbing this thing could improve one's physical constitution and magical power, and temper one's soul.
"Of course." Xiao Tian didn't mince words.
In no time, the Big Black Bull stopped holding back and joined in the house-destroying mode.
Xuanlong was quite decisive, helping its master Xiao Tian dismantle the house.
Tianxuzi, Biyou Fairy, and Immortal in Wine stood there, but seemed hesitant.
After a long while, Xiao Tian and his two companions had looted everything of value from the cave. The once magnificent and splendid cave, like a celestial abode, had suddenly become dilapidated and extremely desolate. Fortunately, the autumn wind had not blown here, otherwise it would have been even more bleak.
The Primordial Unity Demon Ape sensed the situation inside its cave. It was speechless, never expecting that its master, Xiao Tian, would have such a hobby.
However, it didn't care. Compared to the chance of being resurrected and returning to the afterlife, it didn't care even if its cave was destroyed.
"Brother, I suddenly thought of something! We've basically emptied this place, so is there any point in staying here to cultivate? The spiritual energy will probably dry up soon!" Big Black Bull suddenly felt like slapping himself; he had ruined the very foundation of this cave.
" Brother Niu, don't worry, I've checked. The core of the spiritual energy in the entire cave isn't in what we've looted. Relax, let's find a place to cultivate for a few days, and then we'll go out."
"Alright."
Inside the cave, time flew by, and ten years passed.
The Immortal in Wine reached the Peak Carefree Realm. He began to leap, for he had finally comprehended the previously hypothesized Drunken Immortal Fist technique and successfully cultivated it! He wanted freedom!
So he secretly challenged the Big Black Bull, on the condition that he be free.
The Big Black Bull was annoyed that his cultivation had been interrupted, but readily agreed.
The cave was immediately filled with clanging and rumbling. A few minutes later, the Immortal in Wine, looking disheveled, cried out that he no longer wanted freedom.
"This bottleneck is really hard to break!" The Big Black Bull was trapped at the Peak Carefree Realm, but he broke through the bottleneck with just one kick.
" Brother Niu, don't rush to break through the bottleneck. This Visualization Realm is a chance to defy fate. For the sake of your future potential, you must be cautious. At least there are no reference elements for breaking through the bottleneck within the cave. It's also beneficial to hone your foundation more," Xiao Tian reminded him.
"You're right, brother."
Another year has passed quickly, and Xiao Tian can't stay idle anymore!
"Let's go, everyone's cultivation level is about the same, there's no use in just working hard all the time, let's go out and have some fun!"
"Master is right, I'm about to break through, I need to find an opportunity," Xuanlong said honestly.
" Little Dragon is impressive, but I, Brother Niu, am no less so. Once we're out there, we definitely need to find an opportunity. I wonder if the Heavenly Divine Sword can help me break through this bottleneck!"
Upon hearing Tianxuzi, both Biyou Fairy were shocked; these two were truly formidable.
After leaving the cave, Xiao Tian found Kabuta lying in the dilapidated space with a mournful expression.
"Hey, foreigner, why aren't you running away? Why are you standing here with that deadpan face?"
Upon hearing the voice, the Tianzhu Evolver Kabuta jumped up immediately, his face streaked with tears of excitement and joy, exclaiming, "I was wrong! I won't run away anymore! Take me out of here!"
Xuanlong sneered and kicked out, and soon a scream echoed through the space.
Xuanlong ultimately showed mercy, after all, it intended to train Kabuta to be a professional tea-serving servant.
Xiao Tian led the way, and after robbing and destroying the remaining space, they returned to the Sword Rain and Thunder.
"I've finally found out! Whoever killed my children shall die!"
The barrage of grief and indignation shattered the rain of swords and thunder!
The Immortal in Wine sensed the attack and was furious. Who was it? They attacked as soon as they appeared!
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else!" When the Demon Spirit saw Xiao Tian and his large group, its eyes widened in astonishment. Although it harbored boundless hatred for the Immortal in Wine, wishing it could kill him, eat his flesh, crush his bones, and drink his blood, it was well aware of its own limitations and knew that it was impossible for it to directly contend with so many Venerable Carefree Realm.
"Such a big bunch of flowers! We need to have some extra food!" Big Black Bull's eyes lit up.
" Big Fatty, with such a flower, wouldn't the brewing be better than with the previous ingredients? The resulting 'Hundred Flowers Wine' would definitely be even more delicious!"
The Immortal in Wine laughed, " Brother Niu, you're absolutely right! I think this demon is capable of brewing an even more potent Hundred Flowers Wine. It seems to be the embodiment of the essence of a hundred flowers. We're set for life!"
The Demon Spirit immediately turned and ran, but a gust of wind almost knocked it back. When it saw the Big Black Bull that suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking its way, it despaired.
"Don't kill me!"
"Gah gah gah! You're not even fully transformed, who told you to be the raw material! Don't blame me for being ruthless, the Hundred Flowers Wine is just too intoxicating!" The Big Black Bull rubbed his hands together, his overwhelming demonic aura spreading out like a demon king staring at his lackeys who were not with their hero.
The Demon Spirit nearly fainted from fright; the opponent was too strong!
" Brother Niu, don't scare them. Ingredients that are scared to death won't taste good."
"Brother, your insight is brilliant!"
The Demon Spirit fainted immediately, its last thought before losing consciousness being, "A bunch of demons!"
When the Demon Spirit awoke again, it saw several pairs of eyes staring at it. Its brain suddenly felt pain, and it realized that its demon body had been harmed.
No! You are devils!
"What are you yelling about! All I did was grind some pollen to make wine. If you yell any more, I'll really kill you." The Big Black Bull turned and roared at the Demon Spirit in displeasure.
The Demon Spirit trembled with fear.
"Don't be afraid, they won't kill you." Biyou Fairy felt that the Demon Spirit was being too polite and couldn't help but comfort her.
"They're just using you to make their Hundred Flowers Wine. They'll take care of you; they won't let you die."
The Demon Spirit fainted immediately, filled with immense regret before losing consciousness. Why did she have to be so reckless as to come here? Why did she have to seek out trouble?
If time could be turned back, it certainly wouldn't want revenge!
And so, Xiao Tian's team grew even larger.
The Immortal in Wine and Kabuta very happy. Their tool-person class had gained another tool demon. As veteran employees, how could they not bully the new employee?
As a result, the Demon Spirit were assigned all sorts of heavy tasks.
The Immortal in Wine and Kabuta also given several more opportunities to dine at the table! They were deeply moved and delighted!
"Such intense demonic energy!"
Xiao Tian and the others were traversing the Sword Rain and Thunder, and the strongest among them, Xiao Tian, Big Black Bull, and Xuanlong, noticed the problem ahead.
"This demonic energy is unusual; it seems to surpass even the Carefree Realm!"
"The demonic energy of the Visualization Realm! It's best not to get close! Lest it affect your mind!" The Big Black Bull said solemnly.
"It seems a force capable of causing an earthquake has arrived at Mount Tai. We must be careful." Tianxuzi felt a chill run down his spine.
As fellow Peak Carefree Realm, he thought that Big Black Bull, Xiao Tian, and Xuanlong were terrifying enough, and that he would probably be defeated within ten moves if they really fought. He never expected that Mount Tai would send another terrifying expert of the Visualization Realm!
What's going on here?! Are they even giving people a way to survive?!
"Someone ahead has been corrupted by demons! They're coming! Be careful!" Xiao Tian warned.
Soon, the rain of swords and lightning in front of them was torn apart, and a black light streaked over. The experts present recognized the figure as a middle-aged man with black and red eyes, bloodshot veins, and strange demonic marks at the corners of his eyes. His aura was terrifying, indicating that he was at the Peak Carefree Realm.
This demon was unarmed, but the fingernails on his hands were extremely sharp, and the shimmering scarlet light was enough to show that he could not be dealt with casually and had to be treated with caution.
" Demon Spirit, I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself."
The Demon Spirit, who had been suppressing its anger, had long lost its former rationality. Its demonic power erupted, and countless flowers danced in the air, sweeping across like divine weapons.
Clang!
But the situation was a bit bad. The demon's strength was beyond the Demon Spirit's expectations, directly shattering the Demon Spirit's ultimate move, and the sharp blade easily tore off part of the Demon Spirit's body.
"What a waste! Damn it!" Big Black Bull was furious. Those were ingredients that could make so much Hundred Flowers Wine.
Enraged, the Big Black Bull Great Dao is simple, yet this ordinary punch carried boundless power. In an instant, the powerful Peak Carefree Realm turned to ashes in the eyes of Tianxuzi, Biyou Fairy, Immortal in Wine, Kabuta, and the Demon Spirit.
"How terrifying!" Tianxuzi was dumbfounded; he had underestimated the Big Black Bull.
"This!" Kabuta was dumbfounded.
The borders of Country H are too dangerous! He shouldn't have come! Tianzhu safer! Why did he have to be so reckless!
"What excellent ingredients!" The Immortal in Wine exclaimed in shock, his heart aching at the broken ingredients tainted by demonic energy.
" Demon Spirit, you'll have a day off to recover." Xiao Tian helped the Demon Spirit cut off the infected demonic energy and gave it some dates to eat.
The Demon Spirit was initially moved, but the thought that it would only last a day suddenly made her lose her emotion and she felt like crying.
"This demonic energy is strange; let's leave first."
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Let's get closer to the Heavenly Divine Sword first. I plan to use it to attain the Visualization Realm."
The Big Black Bull frowned and said, "Brother, no! Although the Heavenly Divine Sword is extraordinary, it is still slightly inferior to the stars in the starry sky. Since you have already rejected the inheritance of the World-Chaos Demon Ape's lineage, this Visualization Realm is a very crucial realm in the lower level. You must not use ordinary things as a reference to develop your power."
" Brother Niu, I know what you're saying, but what kind of place do you think Mount Tai is?"
The Big Black Bull stroked his smooth, shiny bald head and said, "This is a treasure trove."
"Hehehe... Brother Niu, Mount Tai is no ordinary place. Since ancient times, emperors of all dynasties have used it as a place to offer sacrifices to Heaven, and many emperors have even performed the Fengshan ceremony here. As the most revered of the Five Sacred Mountains, Mount Tai is also home to the cave of the World-Chaos Demon Ape, which shows its extraordinary nature. And Heavenly Divine Sword has been inserted into Mount Tai. This Heavenly Divine Sword is truly remarkable."
"Furthermore, I don't intend to completely follow the Heavenly Divine Sword. I want to get close to the very center of the Heavenly Divine Sword, where I can directly see the stars, the stars, and the Heavenly Divine Sword. I will use this to visualize them. If I succeed, my path to enlightenment will be smooth."
"Brother, you are proficient in space, the stars are vast and encompass all things, the main space, and the Heavenly Divine Sword is sharp and deadly. This combination of offense and defense is indeed a good choice."
"Let's go, find the place closest to the very center of the Heavenly Divine Sword!"
Meanwhile, somewhere atop Mount Tai, the Black Peng King frowned.
"Damn it! Who on earth dared to destroy my powerful demonic puppet!"
Information feedback: The memories of the demon puppet before its death appeared in its mind.
The Black Peng King couldn't help but laugh wickedly.
"I didn't expect the prey to come to me like this! Looks like you haven't even entered the Visualization Realm yet. In that case, I'll have some fun with you! To avenge those foolish fellows!"
"Hehehe... Things are going more and more smoothly, truly to my liking! I still need to speed things up and assimilate with the sword energy here as soon as possible, so that I can easily Overlord this treasure mountain, use it as a base to build an immortal castle, and occupy this key location in the plans set by those foolish fellows!"
Xiao Tian and his group were incredibly powerful, bullying whoever they encountered, and there was no one in the Carefree Realm who could stand against them.
They were living too comfortably. While the Holy Soul Medicine Immortal and his companions were risking their lives to find treasures, Xiao Tian and his group found treasures on the spur of the moment, even roasting the guardian beasts protecting the treasures and drinking fine wine. It was practically like they were on a vacation.
Such wonderful days gradually made even the Demon Spirit lose the will to escape.
Every time there was a gathering, the leftovers given to it somehow caused its cultivation to break through to the Peak Carefree Realm.
The Demon Spirit was so excited she almost cried! It would have been even better if the Big Black Bull hadn't said, "Your cultivation has improved! Excellent! Our Hundred Flower Wine is even better now!"
"The sword energy ahead is even more powerful, and the lightning is even more raging and terrifying. The pressure has doubled after just one step! It seems we are getting closer to the Heavenly Divine Sword," the Big Black Bull said solemnly.
"Brother, are you sure we want to keep getting closer? I'm afraid if we get too close, we'll get trapped there and die."
" Brother Niu, don't worry, I can come and go from the World-Chaos Demon Ape's cave anytime. If all else fails, we can go in and hide for a while, rest, and then come out!"
"Really!?" The Big Black Bull stared in disbelief.
"Certainly!"
"Hahaha! You should have said so earlier, bro! Charge! You Demon Spirit, get the hell out of here, don't act like a girl!"
The Demon Spirit said aggrievedly, "The pressure here is too strong, can you slow it down a bit?"
