《Xianxia: Started With 9999 Luck Value》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the Eastern continent was an Evil Spirit Sect. The young sect master was located on Broken Sword Peak. Zhang Yang looked at everything that was happening before his eyes with a dumbfounded expression. Damn it, he had just slept and transmigrated to some cultivation world. Could he not be a little more deceitful? Young sect master? This identity seemed to be alright. He should be able to temporarily deceive him. Cultivating and practicing martial arts? That was impossible. He would never be able to cultivate and practice martial arts in his entire life. The most important thing was that his Dantian was now empty, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation of spirit energy. Even if he wanted to, he would not be able to practice it! F*ck! However, it did not matter. There was still a better way out for him. His father was already powerful enough. He was the sect leader of the first-class power of the Evil Spirit Sect in the Eastern continent! With this identity, who would dare to not give him face in the territory of the Devil¡¯s Sect? Moreover, his reputation as a devil had already spread throughout the entire continent. People were saying that he, Zhang, was an unpardonable evil demon king who drank human blood and ate human flesh every night. Zhang Yang was abnormally impressed with the ability of the ¡®great path¡¯ to disgrace him. However, this was also good after all. It would save him a lot of trouble. Facing such a terrifying title, who would not be afraid of death and dare to provoke him? The protective talisman did come in handy. Zhang Yang stood at the highest point as he thought carefully. Unknowingly, he had been there for several hours. This caused a group of female disciples at the foot of the mountain to whisper. ¡°Could it be that the young sect master has comprehended a new martial arts technique?¡± ¡°I reckon so. He is the one and only genius in the Eastern Continent, and he is also the face of our Devil Sect. Isn¡¯t this a normal thing?¡± ¡°F*ck! My eyes are sore. Not just that he¡¯s handsome, but he is also strong. This is too much!¡± ¡°The young sect master is really too handsome. If only I can go to his bedside tonight and ask him for some advice.¡± Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this and silently ridiculed her in their hearts. During the Devil¡¯s Sect competition last time, Saintess Su Xiaonan¡¯s brazen confession was rejected. ¡°Ptui! With your looks, you¡¯re just daydreaming. How shameless.¡± However, Zhang Yang did not know all of this. Right now, he felt that it was a little tiring to continue pretending. ¡®Why are you people still not leaving! ¡®What are you still looking at? ¡®F*ck!¡¯ Could it be that he was going to be exposed and others would see that he, Zhang Yang, did not know any martial arts at all? ¡®F*ck!¡¯ If such a thing really happened, then would he still be able to live as a dependent of his parents?! Perhaps, the ¡®righteous path¡¯ that had always viewed the Devil and Evil Spirit Sects as evil would launch a large-scale attack, and when that time came¡­ Hiss! Terrifying! At this moment, Zhang Yang¡¯s state of mind was about to explode. However, at the same time, the system¡¯s sound suddenly rang. ¡°Ding, dong!¡± He dozed off, and felt the pillow under him. This was a really good system. Under the system¡¯s constant guidance, Zhang Yang finally understood the basic functions of the system. ¡°Invincible Lucky System?! Doesn¡¯t it mean that now that I¡¯m possessed by the emperor, cultivating and practicing martial arts would be as easy as ABC? This is interesting. ¡°Why don¡¯t we try and see if what the system says is true?¡± He did as he was told. Zhang Yang stared motionless at the dark green pool of water as if he was an old monk in meditation. Could it be that the system was a scam? Why was there no reaction at all? What happened to the Invincible Luck? Well, he knew that there was no such good thing in the world. It was indeed a bit unrealistic to expect a pie to fall from the sky. Zhang Yang finally understood reality. It was not a good thing to continue this stalemate. He returned to his cave abode to study it properly. He walked toward his cave abode with light steps, completely ignoring the screams of the female disciples at the foot of the mountain. He initially thought that his life would be smooth sailing after he had the golden finger, but in the end, he thought about it too much. After mocking himself, Zhang Yang shook his head. Just as he stepped out with his left leg, a system notification suddenly sounded. ¡°You take one small step and the spiritual Qi in your body increases by 1.¡± ¡°Huh?!¡± Zhang Yang suddenly stopped moving, recalling the notification that the system had just rung. There¡­ there seems to be a situation. With his extraordinary talent, it was not difficult for him to guess that this was a notification after the system had successfully activated it. The system did not trick him. Its effect was indeed amazing. Just based on this effect, it did not matter even if it was a little slower. With this kind of efficiency, even a strand of hair would be a god. In the future, when he practiced immortal cultivation and martial arts, would it not be as if he cheated? The speed at which his strength advanced was like a rocket rising into the sky. ¡°Ding, ding, ding, ding¡­¡± It shot straight up. After Zhang Yang calmed himself down, he walked down the mountain again. It was very tiring to pretend to be an expert, not to mention that he had an identity as heavy as a thousand kilos weighing down on him like the Evil Spirit Sect. When an identity became a burden, no matter how noble the identity was, it would still be a burden. Especially when he did not have the strength to bear it. In short, there was a chance to save everything now. There was also a need to pay attention and stay calm and collected at all times. Only through this way could one attain a better and higher level of act. After some understanding, he took out a bottle of wine and drank it by himself. Soon after breaking the obsession, the map of life became clear in an instant. Two more notification pings sounded, ¡°You drunk a bottle of old wine. Water control attribute +999. ¡°You ignored your female disciple and openly expressed your love. Personal charm +999.¡± Hiss! Even Zhang Yang, who had calmed down after great difficulty, felt a wave of emotions. ¡®This system is ridiculous but I like it!¡¯ Who would not love a life with cheats? After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yang walked to a yard, found a stone bench, and sat down. The surrounding lilies and butterflies seemed to have sensed an extremely comfortable aura from him, and soon surrounded him. ¡°You have attracted the lilies and butterflies. Property attribute +999.¡± ¡°You have felt the change in the weather. Lightning attribute +999.¡± ¡°You have sensed the fragrance of the Earth¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°You have automatically accumulated max level spiritual energy, levelling up. Ding, you have successfully obtained level 1 water control ability.¡± Hearing the cold mechanical voice of the system, the corners of Zhang Yang¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. Immediately after, a pure aura spread out from his body and attacked his internal organs. Then, a purple air current slowly flowed in his Dantian. Gradually, it transformed into a small dragon¡­ ¡°The cultivation world is divided into five major realms, ancient martial arts, Xiantian, transformation realm, psychic, and breaking dawn¡­ my current realm has already broken through to the ninth stage of ancient martial arts, and I can be considered a true cultivator. I wonder if I can fight against a Xiantian Master?¡± Perhaps the body of his predecessor had a huge explosion. After Zhang Yang comprehended it, the notifications kept ringing out. ¡°Your body constitution has been strengthened. Body refining attribute +999.¡± ¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± At this moment, Zhang Yang only felt that there seemed to be a rush of hot air spewing out from his body. ¡°Ding, your proficiency has been increased to the max. Congratulations to the host for attaining control attribute level 1 to level 3!¡± ¡­ An item? It sounded pretty good. Zhang Yang felt that his body was filled with power. It should not be a problem for him to send a third dan Xiantian realm practitioner flying with a single punch. Moreover, in the cultivation world where spiritual energy was scarce, the number of people who had entered the Xiantian realm could be counted on one hand. His father¡¯s identity was noble, and his strength was strong. He was only a practitioner at ninth dan Xiantian realm. As for those above Xiantian realm, it seemed that no one had broken through yet. Just as Zhang Yang was deep in thoughts, an urgent shout startled him. ¡°Young sect master! ¡°The sect master of the Gu Spirit Sect had come over with bad intentions, and the sect master is calling you over now!¡± ¡°Hmm?!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The sect leader of the Gu Spirit Sect?!¡± Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment. Who was this person? Why did he not have any idea who this was? ¡°Young sect master?¡± After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Yang suddenly heard the anxious voice of the disciple outside the door. Looking carefully, he could still see the anxious expression of the messenger disciple. Not long after, Zhang Yang walked lightly to the front of the messenger disciple. His tone was slightly serious. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? Didn¡¯t you say that you must be calm in everything?¡± The messenger looked at the young sect master who was extremely mysterious, and his eyes could not help but be a little absent-minded. At that moment, Zhang Yang seemed to have a trace of sage-like temperament, and his entire body was like a sharp sword waiting to be unleashed. His aura was even stronger than the old sect master of the Evil Spirit Sect. ¡®Could it be? Could it be that young master has broken through again? ¡®This¡­ this is too fierce.¡¯ Suddenly, Zhang Yang¡¯s words reached his ears. When he thought of the young master¡¯s aura just now, he did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. He hurriedly bent his back slightly. With an extremely respectful expression, he quickly said the words that he had prepared in his heart. ¡°Young master¡­ After the Gu Spirit Sect master arrived at the VIP room, he seemed to have proposed a condition that we find very difficult to accept¡­¡± As he was speaking, the messenger disciple suddenly appeared a little uneasy and started stammering. Zhang Yang had witnessed all of this. The law of the jungle was vividly demonstrated. These disciples could at least be considered to have the strength of a first level quasi ancient martial arts, but now they appeared a little lowly. This life was too careful. Sigh! ¡°You still don¡¯t know my temper? If you have anything to say, just say it directly.¡± Seeing that Zhang Yang¡¯s expression remained the same, the messenger disciple heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Young master, the sect leader of the Gu Spirit Sect seems to be here to propose marriage to your younger sister, Zhang Xue¡¯er¡­¡± When he heard this, a memory flashed through Zhang Yang¡¯s mind. ¡®Zhang Xue¡¯er¡­ wasn¡¯t that the little daughter that he had saved many years ago?¡¯ Back then, when she had been pursued by her enemies, he looked at her pitifully and saved her life, bringing her back to Evil Spirit Sect. He did not expect that so much time had passed. Marriage proposal? What was going on? Such a thing had actually happened? Seeing Zhang Yang¡¯s expression gradually becoming confused, the messenger disciple hurriedly explained, ¡°Young master, you have been in seclusion at Broken Sword Peak for a long time, and you just came out not long ago. It is normal that you have not heard of such news¡­ It is said that your younger sister, Xue¡¯er, has admired you for a long time, wanting to catch up with you and forcefully break through. In the end, she failed, and her cultivation failed drastically¡­ ¡°Then, the sect leader of the Gu Spirit Sect somehow got the news and came to propose marriage. This situation is really strange.¡± ¡°The old sect leader didn¡¯t ask what their intentions were? Why didn¡¯t he ask the young master to take a look?¡± ¡°After all, you were the one who brought younger sister Xue¡¯er back from outside. The old sect leader has always treated everyone equally and didn¡¯t forget about it. Now, I¡¯ll let you make the decision.¡± ¡®Hmm? ¡®I actually saved an offspring of the Great Empress without knowing. ¡®Now, she seems to have become a piece of trash. Why does it feel strange that she forcefully broke through? ¡®I actually became her elder brother. This feeling is a little strange. Forget it, I¡¯ll go out and take a look when the time comes.¡¯ ¡­ In the sect¡¯s meeting hall. At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall appeared somewhat solemn. The old sect leader, Zhang Lifu, sat on the highest seat, with his eyes narrowed and not saying a word. All the disciples under him were also tense, as if they were waiting for an order to attack the Gu Spirit Sect¡¯s leader, who had come with ill intentions. As the main character of today, Zhang Xue¡¯er sat beside the old sect leader, carefully sizing up this handsome young man in front of her. The young man was the sect master of the Gu Spirit sect, Li Ming. Upon closer inspection, Li Ming¡¯s eyes were incomparably clear, and he had the demeanor of a modest gentleman. However, as time passed, the depths of his clear eyes started to become a little turbid. The flames of desire burned fiercely. He had never felt so lucky to have coincidentally discovered an offspring of the Great Empress, and his identity was even recognised. Even though he was protected by Evil Spirit Sect, what did that matter? He heard that his cultivation base had been crippled recently, so would that not make it easier for him to strike? He had come to propose marriage as the sect master of a similar faction. Li Ming really could not think of any reason to reject him. Offending another great faction for a woman was not a wise thing to do no matter how he looked at it. Moreover, although he had seen and tasted countless of beautiful bodies, it was the first time he had met such a beautiful woman like Zhang Xue¡¯er. Since he had met her, he definitely could not give up. Moreover, he had the constitution of the Great Empress. If he were to go back and dual cultivate, his strength would be able to break through several levels. Thinking of this, his abdomen felt a little hot, but he still had to endure it for a while. The deal, in any case, was pretty much set. That was right as he, Li Ming, was also a transmigrator. For some reason, after waking up, he had transmigrated to a cultivation world. He also had the identity of a respected first-class sect leader. The most important thing was that he had a strategy, which was a dual cultivation system that made women stronger. After figuring out the functions of the golden finger, Li Ming began to gather female disciples from all over the place. In the name of the sect leader¡¯s teachings, he took all of them under his wing. This incomparably powerful golden finger allowed him to successfully break through to the second stage of the Xiantian realm. However, that was still not enough. If Li Ming wanted to possess even stronger power, he would have to recruit women with even more unique physiques. In the Evil Spirit Sect, he had finally met an offspring with a Great Empress¡¯ physique, and he absolutely could not let it go. It was said that in the cultivation world, there were also unrivalled beauties. There was the most beautiful woman of the east, and the Peerless Beauty Saintess in the west. Their physiques were so powerful and special! If they all could be under his command, coupled with the yin-yang complementing technique, he would be the best expert in the Eastern continent sooner or later. Whatever his dreams were, he had to conquer Zhang Xue¡¯er first. Only then would he be worthy of his identity as a transmigrator, as well as the powerful ability of this golden finger. Just as he was fantasizing, a serious voice woke him up. ¡°Is the purpose of your Excellency¡¯s visit today to propose marriage?!¡± He was faced with Zhang Lifu¡¯s scrutinizing gaze, as well as the fierce aura that rushed toward him. Although Li Ming had extraordinary strength, his strength was still a little inferior compared to Zhang Lifu. Forcefully enduring the incomparably hot desire in his heart, Li Ming¡¯s gaze was calm, and his gaze was clear as he replied, ¡°Please forgive me for coming here today. I fell in love with your beloved sister the moment I saw her. I saw her again just now, and I couldn¡¯t control my feelings. Please forgive me.¡± Hearing this, everyone in the room furrowed their brows tightly. Although what he said sounded right, it felt strange. He had deliberately put on an act, but it was definitely different from what was revealed by nature. Zhang Xue¡¯er watched his every move ¡°Ding! Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s loathing value has increased by 60. It¡¯s extremely dangerous. Host, please retrieve it immediately!¡± Just as he was about to continue putting on an act like an old dog, a system notification suddenly sounded, causing his face to look as though it had been cast. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°F*ck, is there a mistake? Why would the loathing value suddenly increase when raiding a target?¡± Li Ming¡¯s favorite thing was to remain calm in the face of trouble. He was extremely calm and unperturbed, inadvertently showing off his powerful ability. However, the system notification sounded, catching him off guard. ¡°Broken system, are you mistaken?! In this continent, there should only be one transmigrator, and I¡¯m the only one who has the golden finger. In the end, you tell me that it is useless. F*ck your sister.¡± After a cold mechanical sound played out loud, an announcement was heard, ¡°Zizizizi¡­ According to the system¡¯s judgment, an irresistible force has appeared. Please pay more attention to it. ¡°Finally, please use civilized language, or the system will be uninstalled.¡± At this moment, Li Ming¡¯s state of mind was explosive, and his expression was extremely unnatural. Forget it, I¡¯ll take this gamble. There wasn¡¯t much time left, so he could only continue speaking. ¡°Uncle, please believe me. In the name of the sect, as the leader of the Gu Spirit Sect, I swear to the heavens that I will only love Miss Xue¡¯er in this lifetime¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, a mocking voice came from outside the hall. ¡°Only love in this lifetime? To be able to make such a shameless and lecherous speech, you are truly a talent. Swear to the heavens? Then do you dare to swear to the Heavenly Dao?¡± The voice drifted in from outside the door and entered everyone¡¯s ears. The voice seemed to contain some sort of rhythm, causing the people from the Evil Spirit Sect to feel as if they were bathed in sunlight at all times, and their entire bodies felt warm. When Zhang Xue¡¯er clearly saw the person¡¯s appearance, little stars appeared in her beautiful eyes, but when she remembered that her cultivation base had completely dissipated, she could not help but feel a little sorrowful. In the hall, everyone turned their heads. At that moment, Zhang Yang seemed to be stepping on an auspicious rainbow cloud as his entire body emitted an intense, blazing light. His brows were like swords, his eyes were like a vast ocean, and his pupils were like the starry sky. He was peerless¡­ It was as if he was a noble god looking down on mere mortals. Just now, Li Ming, who was proud of his identity as a transmigrator, had a slightly green expression on his face. ¡°Ding, system notification, the host is in an extremely dangerous state, please leave immediately! ¡°Ding, system notification, the host is in an extremely dangerous state, please leave immediately! ¡°Ding, system notification, the host is in an extremely dangerous state, please leave immediately!¡± ¡®F*ck! ¡®What the f*ck was going on?¡¯ Looking at the system, which seemed to be having a stroke, the red exclamation mark kept flashing. Li Ming¡¯s state of mind was explosive. He might not be able to get out today, so how could he carry out this strategical operation in the future? ¡°The system has finished monitoring. The source of the hostile is at level 9 of ancient martial arts. Host, please be careful. It¡¯s best to leave immediately!¡± ¡®F*ck you!¡¯ He thought he had encountered an attack of the Xiantian realm and above, but in the end, it was just this?! Moreover, it was just mere ancient martial arts. He was only at level 2 of Xiantian realm, yet he had pulled back several layers of the target. What was there to be afraid of? Breaking the system was simply making a mountain out of a molehill. It was not reliable at all. At this moment, Li Ming even felt that the system had been poisoned. It kept giving useless notifications. It seriously made his state of mind a little unstable. Immediately after, a terrifying pressure that came from heaven and earth formed a large encirclement and headed toward Li Ming! ¡°Ding, system notification. The host is in an extremely dangerous state. Please leave immediately!¡± Damn! Li Ming¡¯s expression was extremely unsightly. The broken system was always up to something. If it was not for the fact that he could not find the button to turn off the notifications, he would have wanted to uninstall the system right now. ¡°Ding! According to the system¡¯s monitoring, the host has encountered the first person of the ancient European Emperor this time.¡± ¡°F*ck. Didn¡¯t you say that I was the only one who has a supergod physique after transmigrating? Why is there an ancient European Emperor now?¡± Li Ming found it hard to accept that his golden finger was not the only one. However, fortunately, what did it matter if he had the eternal European Emperor physique? His realm was still lower than his. This wave was still very stable. Despite that, this time, he did not bring anyone with him, as he was still a little careless. He could not afford to do this again next time. At this moment, Zhang Yang walked toward the so-called Gu Spirit Sect¡¯s leader outside the hall. He looked up and frowned as if he had seen something unbelievable. Did they not say that he was the sect leader? What was going on? The spiritual energy was not condensed at all. Instead, it was extremely superficial. His eyes were flickering, but he still looked a little wretched. ¡°You have found something abnormal after thinking carefully. Comprehension +1.¡± The prompt that flashed by made Zhang Yang slightly stunned. The superimposition of the golden finger buff was really awesome. He could even have this? Could it be that he could automatically cultivate when he slept in the future? It was indeed a cheat-like skill. However, there was indeed something wrong with the proposal of the sect leader before him. On one hand, Zhang Yang was thinking about how to deal with the next step. On the other hand, the system that Li Ming called pinged with a notification. ¡°Ding! The array has been detected to be in a dangerous situation. Emergency safety measures activated.¡± ¡°Ding! Activation completed. Congratulations to host for obtaining the temporary sovereign saint physique, raising your cultivation to fourth dan Xiantian realm.¡± Hearing this, Li Ming¡¯s expression softened. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. I won¡¯t scold you anymore.¡± On the other side, Zhang Yang sensed a familiar aura. This spiritual energy fluctuation was similar to his¡­ Could it be¡­ could it be that this kid in front of him was also a transmigrator? However, what was going on? This spiritual energy fluctuation seemed as if it had been forcefully poured in by someone. It was not condensed at all. Could it be that this was a parallel transmigrator? Thinking of this, Zhang Yang understood in his heart. The world suddenly became interesting. All of a sudden, Li Ming¡¯s system emitted a shrill alarm sound. ¡°Ding! Warning! The system has made a mistake. Extreme danger is approaching. Please evacuate immediately, or your life will be in danger. ¡°Warning! Please evacuate immediately, or your life will be in danger!¡± Li Ming was feeling the power brought by the system. Suddenly, a cold warning came. It made Li Ming feel like his pants were about to fall off. There was a peerless beauty in front of him, and she was so scared that her lower half suddenly could not stand up. What the f*ck¡­ F*ck! That was how Li Ming felt right now. Not long after his happy mood, his face changed drastically, and his face turned into the color of a pig¡¯s liver. F*ck your mother! This broken system deserved to be scolded. Can you not be more reliable?! A transmigrator? Zhang Yang had already made a simple judgment in his heart. A fellow transmigrator?! From the looks of it, he was not very important. He was just a mediocre person with bad morals. Hence, what did it matter if he obtained the system? He could not even achieve the basic level of cultivation. This level of cultivation was too low and did not pose a threat at all. After seeing Li Ming¡¯s full trump card, Zhang Yang did not hold back anymore. His sharp aura charged toward Li Ming. Li Ming did not have time to react. His spirit completely collapsed, and his body became a pile of debris. Hold back? Impossible. Zhang Yang, who was also a transmigrator, knew how terrifying a golden finger like the system was. He also knew that the desire behind transmigrators was extremely strong. If given some time to grow, it would be a serious disaster. The consequences that would arise in the future would probably be very troublesome to deal with. It would be better to nip the threat in the bud from the start. Then, the familiar system voice sounded. ¡°You have successfully killed a transmigrator. Unparalleled luck attribute +1.¡± Zhang thought to himself, ¡®Unparalleled luck?¡¯ Did I plunder this person¡¯s golden finger? Judging from the system¡¯s notification, that was probably the case. Could it be that he was not the only transmigrator in the cultivation world? Thinking of this, Zhang Yang¡¯s heart became uneasy. If that was the case, then would he not have a happy life in the future? Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Forget it, so what if there are other transmigrations? ¡°When the time comes, I¡¯ll clean them up one by one and then plunder their fortunes. My luck attribute will probably be even stronger.¡± ¡­ When the spectators saw that their sect¡¯s young master was actually so strong, they could not help but gulp. They did not expect that the young master was actually that strong. This made everyone both surprised and happy. What was surprising was that they did not expect that the young master would attack with an absolute kill without leaving even the slightest chance. His methods were so vicious that even an illustrious existence like the Gu Spirit Sect¡¯s master would kill him as he wished. What was delightful was that the young master¡¯s strength seemed to have broken through again. The point was that he was only 18 years old yet he had already reached level 9 of the ancient martial arts realm at such a young age. It seemed that he was about to break through again. This strength and talent was truly awesome. It was not an exaggeration to call him the strongest in the Eastern continent. It was estimated that even the Holy Maiden of the Pope in the West could barely match up to such strength. Initially, everyone was already envious of the young sect master¡¯s talent, as well as his frightening reputation. However, now, he was ridiculously strong. Was he trying to ascend to the heavens? Many sentimental female disciples pictured Zhang Yang¡¯s back in their minds as he diligently cultivated on Broken Sword Peak and actually started to feel sorry for him. There were even a few with teary eyes as they muttered, ¡°Young master is really carrying too much burden. From today onward, I will also work hard!¡± The other male disciples were filled with admiration. It was one thing for him to be talented, but the key was that he was so hardworking and had an appealing face that wanted to make women commit crimes. How could anyone compare to that? They simply could not compare. Their eyes were filled with envy and admiration. Zhang Yang naturally pretended not to hear those discussions. ¡®Cultivation? ¡®What the hell was that? ¡®Hard work? I did not put in any hard work, but somehow I managed to achieve a breakthrough. ¡®Oh? As for going to the stupid Sword Peak, I didn¡¯t activate the system. There are fewer people in that stupid place, so I can hide from you guys. Don¡¯t you all understand?¡¯ Each and every one of them had an abnormally rich imagination. Well, it was good to have such a simple misunderstanding. It could preserve a trace of mystery, so as not to be seen through. At that time, it would not be easy to continue pretending. Not long after Zhang Yang killed Li Ming, there was a rare moment of silence in the air. ¡°Disciples, throw him back to the Gu Spirit Sect¡¯s territory. If they are angry, say my name. The evil reputation of drinking human blood and eating human flesh can fool many people but us. You will definitely be able to return safely. In addition, after losing the sect leader, he is only be of a third-class power, so don¡¯t worry too much.¡± ¡°Yes, young master.¡± The two clever disciples beside him replied in unison. Then, the two brothers carried Li Ming¡¯s corpse toward the Gu Spirit Sect¡¯s territory. This time, the two disciples looked at each other and decided to play a little. It was different. They threw Li Ming¡¯s corpse at the entrance of their sect. It would only a third-class power after losing the sect leader, so what was there to be afraid of? Zhang Yang did not know that the disciples who sent the body would be so bold. However, even if they knew, it would not matter. On the contrary, they might praise them for doing a good job. After carefully sensing everything in front of him, Zhang Yang discovered something different. Li Ming¡¯s death was indeed justified. His foundation was not solid as he kept believing in the system¡¯s judgment. He did not have any thoughts at all and was completely led by the nose. Although his level had indeed increased, his strength was comparable to trash. Compared to him, he was still several levels lower. At this moment, without the system¡¯s halo, Li Ming¡¯s shortcomings were undoubtedly exposed. Mediocrity and exaggeration were his main weaknesses. However, it did not seem to be of any use now. Continuing to act like a dumb, useless fool or pretending to be someone else was the way to go. After giving his orders, Zhang Yang¡¯s dignified voice rang out loud, ¡°Alright, disperse. Everyone, do all of you think you¡¯re very strong? ¡°Do you all want to spar with me?¡± These words naturally had an extraordinary effect. The disciples of the younger generation all retreated, not daring to stay any longer. ¡®What kind of joke was this?¡¯ ¡®If I spar with you, I¡¯m afraid my life will be in danger.¡¯ ¡®A third dan Xiantian realm person was instantly killed by you. The strongest among the people present are only at level 6 of ancient martial arts and they did not even dare to go as far as you!¡¯ Although they were ridiculing him in their hearts, everyone understood that this was a good thing. The stronger the sect was, the safer they would be when they went out. Thus, they hurriedly retreated, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent. Everyone knew in their hearts that the young master must have comprehended something incredible during his seclusion. There was no need for him to be as hardworking as an ordinary disciple as he would not be able to break through several levels even after a few years anyway. It seemed that if he wanted to cultivate, he would still have to endanger himself. Hence, why not give it a try? If Zhang Yang heard these words, he would definitely smile bitterly. ¡°Your imaginations are too wild. I¡¯m just afraid that you guys will see that I¡¯m a piece of trash. Hence, I ran to a place with few people to hide. It¡¯s not really that complicated.¡± After Zhang Yang finished explaining everything, he turned around and looked at his nominal father, Zhang Lifu. He saw him throwing a gaze of praise and gratification. Then, he nodded slightly to show that he was very satisfied. At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded. ¡°Brother¡­¡± It was soft and pleasant to the ear, making one feel comfortable. Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes were filled with stars as she called out to Zhang Yang softly. Looking at her brother in front of her, Zhang Xue¡¯er could not help but feel a little excited. The two of them had never been this close before. At this moment, Zhang Xue¡¯er was getting closer and closer to Zhang Yang¡¯s position. Looking from afar, it was as if the two of them were one body. As soon as they walked out, the female disciples not far away saw this scene. All of them seemed to be jealous, and the air was filled with a sour smell. Younger sister? ¡®I actually have a younger sister? ¡®Why don¡¯t I have any impression of her in my mind?¡¯ Under Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s starry gaze, Zhang Yang felt a little embarrassed. ¡®What the f*ck was going on?¡¯ An extremely unfamiliar woman suddenly called him brother. It seemed like something had happened between the two of them. He heard from others that he had picked her up, but perhaps he had just transmigrated not long ago and lost the memories of his original body. After thinking about it, Zhang Yang replied, ¡°Hm.¡± The air was a little quiet¡­ The color in Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes did not decrease as she said in an intimate manner, ¡°Thank you, brother! ¡°Help me teach this lecher a lesson.¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s indifferent reaction aroused Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s good intentions. This was the ideal husband for this woman. The two of them were not related by blood, so there was not much of a problem. Just now, her brother¡¯s reaction was probably along the lines of some high-level martial arts technique. She thought to herself, ¡®I really deserve this handsome man Zhang Xue¡¯er fell in love with.¡¯ However, with her cultivation crippled, it would probably take her some time to completely recover. In order not to let her brother surpass her by too much, it seemed that she had to make use of this time to recover and break through. Zhang Yang was just about to say something when the system¡¯s mechanical notification sounded again. ¡°You have come into contact with the chosen one. Charm attribute +1.¡± His system was like a cheat, steadily increasing his strength at a very fast pace. The system belonging to the sect leader that had just been killed was too weak and was completely incomparable to his. ¡°It¡¯s alright, you and I are siblings, so there¡¯s no need to be polite. This is what a brother should do.¡± ¡°Oh right, I heard from the voice transmission disciple that you forcefully broke through and encountered a bit of a situation. How is it now? Can you still find a way to recover your strength?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve found it, but the cultivation time is a little long. However, it doesn¡¯t matter, as you can just treat it as another round of cultivation. I¡¯ve heard that you are very powerful and have extraordinary talent. I might have to trouble you more in the future.¡± Suddenly, Zhang Yang felt a familiar aura. ¡®Hm?¡¯ Could it be that his younger sister was also a transmigrator?! Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He used the system¡¯s detection function to take a closer look. F*ck! This cheap sister of his was also a transmigrator. However, there was something wrong with her body. Zhang Xue¡¯er was completely unaware that her greatest trump card had been exposed. At this moment, she was feeling the fluctuation of the spiritual energy in her body. Due to her being tricked by the person who claimed to be the Empress, it caused her cultivation to drop drastically. However, yes, there was still a chance to save it. A chance to advance to the next level. Just as Zhang Yang was about to take another look, his father, Zhang Lifu, called out to him. In the face of his father¡¯s loving eyes, Zhang Yang felt a warm current in his heart. Zhang Yang looked at his father in this life and said softly, ¡°Indeed, father, I did learn a great deal at Broken Sword Peak.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you don¡¯t have to stay up on the peak every day in the future? ¡°That¡¯s good. Staying in one place all day isn¡¯t good. You should go out and take a walk.¡± As a father, he naturally hoped that his children would be more promising and better, but he absolutely did not want to see them grow up in a safe harbor. An eagle should fly into the vast blue sky instead of staying in the sect all the time. Zhang Lifu clearly understood Zhang Yang¡¯s intention as he would go out adventuring soon. He was naturally very happy in his heart. He looked at his adopted son and daughter again, as if there was an ambiguous relationship between them. As someone who had experienced it before, how could he not know what would happen next? After chuckling, he asked the other disciples to leave and give space to the young man. Anyway, they were not blood-related. At most, they could just adjust their relationship with her. This was also what the Eastern continent had tacitly agreed to. As the saying went, ¡®Don¡¯t let the fertile water flow to other¡¯s field.¡¯ After chuckling, he suggested, ¡°The two of you haven¡¯t seen each other for many years, so I won¡¯t disturb you. Go on and chat a bit more. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to prepare dinner. There¡¯s no rush, hahaha¡­¡± The old man left with a bunch of third wheelers, laughing loudly, leaving the two of them alone in the hall. Unknowingly, there was a hint of a seductive aura in the air. ¡°Xue¡¯er, I¡¯m sorry. Recently, I¡¯ve become too engrossed in cultivation and neglected your feelings.¡± Zhang Yang thought it through. No matter what kind of identity Xue¡¯er had, she was his younger sister. There was nothing wrong with that. ¡°Brother, there¡¯s no need to be like this. I¡¯m happy to be able to see you again.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er silently looked at Zhang Yang as her heart was filled with joy. ¡°I heard that there¡¯s hope for you to recover your strength, but it will take a long time. Stretch out your right hand. I¡¯ll help you speed up.¡± ¡°Oh? Speed up? There¡¯s such a thing?!¡± Although she was a little confused, Zhang Xue¡¯er was still extremely obedient. She stretched out her slender hand. No matter what, her brother would not harm her. This was something that she was extremely certain of. At the same time, Zhang Yang also stretched out his hand that had an item-type attribute. Following that, a pure aura surged crazily into Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s internal organs and meridians. Her Dantian, which had been damaged due to her forceful break through, was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. ¡°Brother, how did you¡­¡± Feeling the rampaging aura in her body, although it did not have any destructive power, it still made her panic a little. Although her brother would not harm her, she still felt that something was strange. Her body started to tremble, and she was about to lose control. All of a sudden, Zhang Yang leaned in close to her ear and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t panic! I¡¯ll take care of everything!¡± For some reason, Zhang Ling¡¯er¡¯s mood relaxed at that moment, and she became calm. The little person in her body felt this monstrous power and was somewhat at a loss. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m a member of the Evil Spirit Sect. Thank you, for taking care of my younger sister for so long. ¡°If there¡¯s an emergency in the future, this move will be able to resolve a crisis without making a sound. ¡°My younger sister has encountered a crisis during her training. If it¡¯s not convenient for senior to show your face, you can use this move. ¡°At that time, I¡¯ll have to trouble you, senior.¡± When she heard those words, Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s expression changed. How did her older brother know that she was going to train and recover her power? Also, did he see through all her secrets? Although he was her closest older brother, she did not intend to lay all her cards on the table. After all, it was too shocking. It was not that she was afraid, but that it was too heaven-defying. If she was not careful, she would attract the covetous eyes of even older and stronger monsters. Before her strength was fully grown, it was like a ticking time bomb. It was not certain when an explosion would occur. According to the usual operation of an expert cutting weeds to remove the roots, at that time, the entire Evil Spirit Sect might be in danger of being overthrown. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Listen to me. It doesn¡¯t matter. Your older brother is helping you. Your cultivation speed will be even faster. ¡°I¡¯m rather envious of you. I didn¡¯t expect that there would be such an eternal monster in the Eastern continent. ¡°Furthermore, he is your older brother¡­ Fate is truly wonderful.¡± The sound of a real villain in her mind kept ringing. However, at this moment, Zhang Xue¡¯er did not pay attention to him. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Yang. Her gaze was very complicated. After her secret was exposed, she never thought that her greatest reliance would be on Zhang Yang. She was not good in writing a script, more so at editing. However, it happened to be her. ¡°Remember, you have to be more careful in the future. You can¡¯t be so rash. Your expression management still needs to be improved. ¡°When you encounter danger, remember to analyze the strength of the enemy and yourself first. If you can win, fight. If you can¡¯t, run. Don¡¯t be like a wooden stick. Don¡¯t act like you¡¯re scared silly. ¡°When the time comes, you won¡¯t have a second life. You have to be good, do you hear me?¡± The familiar care and memories kept reappearing in his mind. When he thought of this, a sweet smile appeared on his lips. He was afraid of being misunderstood, so he wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°There¡¯s no need to explain. From now on, you have to avoid exposing your weak points. You have to remember it clearly.¡± At this moment, Zhang Yang had already completely fused with the memories of his previous self. He finally remembered all the memories of his cheap younger sister. When someone sized up his younger sister, her expression would subconsciously turn cold. As a cultivator, it was not a good thing that she could not even manage her basic facial expressions. Generally speaking, other than offending others, it was normal for her to act in such a manner. However, if she were to act in such a manner, it would be very strange. Therefore, she had to make some changes. Otherwise, if she were to face an even more powerful expert and perform a soul search, Xue¡¯er¡¯s life would basically be over. Therefore, he had left an item-type martial arts skill for Zhang Xue¡¯er. As long as she was in danger, the martial arts skill would be activated. At that time, she would be able to save her life. Another thing that made him more worried was that his sister was extremely innocent. Another person who might enter her mind might not be a good person. Hence, if she was to encounter an ancient monster, it would be too late to do anything. She did not seem to have seen it clearly just now. Should she activate her heavenly eye to take a look? Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a careful inspection, Zhang Yang did not find any abnormalities. His cheap younger sister¡¯s opportunity seemed pretty alright. Although it was not as strong as his, it was still much better than the beginning of an ordinary cultivator. On the other hand, Zhang Xue¡¯er firmly remembered what her brother had said. This was a life-saving method which was extremely precious and her brother had unreservedly shared all of it with her. ¡®Don¡¯t worry. I will definitely be able to successfully cultivate again. When the time comes, I will follow my brother¡¯s footsteps.¡¯ ¡°Yes, brother. ¡°I have already memorized it and will always remember it.¡± ¡°Hm, it¡¯s good that you have memorized it.¡± Before leaving, Zhang Yang said one more sentence with an uneasy tone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will definitely take care of it.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er blinked her eyes for the first time. She stood up and waved her right hand, saying goodbye. ¡°Goodbye, brother!¡± Looking at the disappearing back that was walking into the distance, Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s face revealed an unfinished sweet smile. It felt good to be cared for by someone. The luckiest thing she ever had was to have such an older brother. After Zhang Yang left, the jade figure in Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s mind finally dared to relax. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your brother¡¯s strength is really terrifying, especially the pressure of his imperial attribute. It almost made me breathless. ¡°He is indeed the number one monster in the history of time. Even though it was just a random martial arts technique attribute, it was already so terrifying. ¡°What is even more ridiculous is that his current superficial realm is only at the ninth stage of ancient martial arts, but his strength is already close to the fourth dan of Xiantian realm. However, it could be that my observation is not accurate and that he could be at a much higher level.¡± A cold female voice sounded from within her body. This was also her biggest secret. However, this was not the main point right now. What was important was to recover her strength and try her best to follow in her brother¡¯s footsteps. ¡°He should have noticed me when he saw you for the first time just now. It seems that I still underestimated him. In addition, your facial expression had sold it off, hence he immediately assumed my presence. ¡°With such terrifying observation skills and an extremely strong mind, as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely become a top-notch expert in the Eastern continent someday.¡± At this moment, after hearing this, Zhang Xue¡¯er was stunned. Was her older brother¡¯s strength really that strong? Hiss! Then, would it not be very difficult to follow in her older brother¡¯s footsteps in the future? This¡­ It was rare for her face to reveal unprecedented seriousness. ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you think like this. It¡¯s good that you recognize the gap. I¡¯m just afraid that you won¡¯t give up without getting into trouble. And once you get into trouble, it¡¯ll be too late. Hence, this will be troublesome. ¡°With your current realm, you naturally don¡¯t know how powerful he is. This is related to your strength. ¡°It can be said that your older brother¡¯s talent and strength are at the top of the Eastern continent. There¡¯s no one else like him. ¡°This is because he¡¯s able to comprehend the attributes that only innate experts can touch with his ancient martial arts realm. Moreover, I actually couldn¡¯t understand his attributes. Back then, I was also an expert above the innate realm. Your brother may have indeed exceeded your imagination.¡± The mysterious woman¡¯s voice was filled with amazement when she said this. If Zhang Yang had heard these words, he would probably cry out in his heart for the countless times he had been wronged. He had managed to break through so easily, and even comprehended the attributes that others could not imagine. This was something that could not be helped. Perhaps he could only blame the golden finger for being too powerful and abnormal. After listening to the mysterious woman¡¯s words, she fell into a wave of silence. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know this in your heart. It¡¯s even better that you understand this kind of gap. This type of evildoer will not be restricted by a woman. His path is great and noble.¡± ¡°No matter what you say about me, I will not give up.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er clenched her fists and pumped them in the air, as if she was cheering for herself. ¡°It seems that you have not given up. Forget it. With my help, you may have a small chance. However, you have to be mentally prepared. ¡°Moreover, the two of you are not related by blood, so there is no contradiction between the facts, ethics, and morality. You can boldly defend your right to pursue love. This can be considered a blessing in disguise.¡± ¡°No matter how slim the hope is, I will definitely not give up!¡± ¡°Since you are so serious, then I have to talk about the current grim situation. With your brother¡¯s strength, talent, and background, he is basically the best in the Eastern continent. Hence, he will probably have many women in the future. With that, what do you think your position will be?¡± When she heard it, Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s face turned slightly pale. There were unimaginable hardships ahead. Could she really persevere? The answer was unknown. After a moment, there was no more doubt in her eyes. Instead, it was replaced by an extremely determined gaze. ¡°No matter what, I will not give up. No matter how many women he has, so what? I still want to be his wife and one day, I will rule everything!¡± At that moment, her Dao heart became firm. It was reserved for only one person, Zhang Yang. Inside Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s body, a human-shaped shadow emitted a faint blue light. At this moment, there was not only relief in her eyes. Her goal had also been affected by this and she had undergone a major change. Perhaps in the future, her revenge would only be a side goal, while her main goal would be to help her disciples become the Great Empress that would shock the entire Eastern continent. At that time, the world of martial arts would hopefully be very interesting. This day would not be too far away, and she firmly believed in it. She had faith, goals, and resources. If she could not cultivate further, as her master, she would just find a piece of tofu and choke herself to death. She was not worthy of tutoring such an offspring of the Empress. However, at this moment, the woman with blue light could not help but feel a little fortunate. She was not in the same era as the monsters. Otherwise, her dignity and pride would have been crushed to nothing. If that was really the case, it would have been too scary. Those geniuses who were famous and well established in the pugilistic world for a long time probably still did not know about the existence of this lady. When that time comes, the pugilistic world would probably be filled with a bloody storm. It was indeed really interesting. ¡­ Zhang Yang returned to Broken Sword Peak once again, where he cultivated in seclusion. At that moment, he was in a completely different state of mind. After that, he placed the rewards that he obtained from killing the transmigrator on the stone table and observed it carefully. ¡°You have killed a transmigrator and defended the order of the world. Congratulations on obtaining divinity from the Child of the Plane. ¡°You have obtained the Favor of a World. Plane attribute +99.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Zhang Yang was slightly stunned when he saw the notification. Then, he gently opened the system notification¡¯s gift bag. After opening it, he looked¡­ Goodness gracious! ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Child of Fate¡¯s attribute, max level 2. ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining a transmigrator¡¯s memory fragment. ¡°The Child of Fate¡¯s attribute allows you to ignore strength, status, and level differences. You can now directly plunder another person¡¯s fate and use it for yourself.¡± After receiving the new attribute bonus, Zhang Yang could not help but laugh because his luck plundering skill was not that bad. ¡®Hm? ¡®There was still a transmigrator¡¯s memory fragment that had not been opened?¡¯ He might as well open it now to see just what kind of bonus it was. Could it be that they were from the same country? Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡®Why don¡¯t I just pick it up and take a look? The truth will then be immediately revealed. I¡¯m being way too cautious.¡¯ Zhang Yang smiled self-deprecatingly. He was extremely curious now. Could it be that he really came from the same place as him? Zhang Yang quickly browsed through the transmigrator¡¯s memory fragments which were like a movie, showing one scene after another in front of his eyes. After watching it, Zhang Yang could not help but be speechless. ¡®Have I really become the Child of Fate?! ¡®And this guy is here to steal my fate? ¡®F*ck! ¡®Are you kidding me? I¡¯m so cute and kind that even an ant wouldn¡¯t have the heart to step on me. Yet, someone actually targeted me.¡¯ Awhile later¡­ Zhang Yang¡¯s expression changed and his mood became a little complicated. According to the transmigrator¡¯s memory fragment, he would be targeted by people over and over again in the future and his golden finger was the most powerful in this world. Hence, other transmigrators would think of ways to steal his fate and increase their strength. The transmigrator was hidden among the common people. All parties were thinking of ways to get information about Zhang Yang and use this opportunity to approach him. After a moment, he regained his senses. In other words, he had become the monk¡¯s flesh. All the demons and monsters of the Eastern continent wanted to take a bite even the one who he had just slapped to death! That bastard wanted to take over his sister so that he could steal a portion of his fate! F*ck! Faced with such an outcome, Zhang Yang naturally did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, it was still good that he knew everything in advance. Hence, he would have enough time to set up traps one after another, taking down the transmigrators and silently wiping them out. This way, the threat would be eliminated. The memories of the transmigrators were somewhat similar to Earth, but they could not simply be equated. There was a huge difference between the two. The target might be in a parallel world. From the information gathered so far, in different parallel worlds, a certain dimensional power had drawn a portion of people from various worlds and sent them to the Eastern continent, forming various characters for them to fight with. This was a survival game. All people from different civilizations were placed in this game at the same time and were randomly assigned by the system to kill others and survive. In other words, the world was too big and complicated. Not only the Eastern continent, but the Western world and the demonic world were also involved. From the current results, Zhang Yang was the only target of the others. There was no reason beside the fact that his luck and fortune were too heaven-defying that everyone wanted to take a bite of it. Even if they wanted to take a bite, it would be difficult. Therefore, he was a walking monk, and there was nothing wrong with him. Next, they would face different transmigrators with different types of golden fingers. The most exciting thing was the type of rewards they would get after killing them. Now, the transmigrators and Zhang Yang¡¯s identities had completed the exchange. Hence, he was now the hunter, and the others were prey. The others all thought of themselves as unique existences on this continent, as well as distinguished transmigrators. However, what they did not realise was that someone already treated them like delicious snacks, laying out a huge net waiting for them. If someone knew that they were actually a prey, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. Slowly, after Zhang Yang came back to his senses, he suddenly remembered that Xue¡¯er seemed to have said that she wanted to go up to the Devil Spirit Mountain to train? Were there still many treasures there? If so, it definitely would attract quite a number of transmigrators to come and explore the mystery. The treasures were not important at all. What was important was the transmigrators. Just as he was wondering where to open the treasures in the next wave, he received a wonderful piece of news. ¡°You are suddenly enlightened, comprehension +99.¡± ¡°Ha!¡± With this golden finger, what was there to be afraid of? Who cared what kind of monster it was as it was just a dish? ¡°Your mood is incomparably calm. Spiritual essence value +99. ¡°Your luck value has already reached the upper limit today, so please use it tomorrow.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± There appeared to be a limit to this luck thing. This could be considered a good thing, in case his ego swelled up and he lost himself which wouldn¡¯t be good. ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining a map of Devil Spirit Mountain!¡± When one dozed off, the pillow would arrive. Such a system was really thoughtful. Who cared about it? When the time came, he would just have to take a look and find out. Suddenly, the system¡¯s prompt flashed by, which caught Zhang Yang¡¯s attention. ¡°Congratulations, host, for discovering a hidden secret. Do you want to check it out immediately?!¡± After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was actually such a weird setting for the male and female protagonists in the novel. One had to know that this was a survival game. This could be the wicked interest of some almighty being. His own sister, Zhang Xue¡¯er, was actually one of the female protagonists. This¡­ Life was really full of surprises. In the novel world, the male protagonist was like a brainless person, relying on his golden fingers to attract hatred everywhere. In the end, before he could fully develop his strength, he was attacked and killed by a group of people. Then, the ending came. This author was really a retard. The villain actually became the main character in the end. In a blink of an eye, he became a decent person. The author who wrote this refreshing article must be poisonous. He was not afraid of being killed by the evil person as he actually dared to write this?? Huh? The last few chapters actually had descriptions, or rather, the author¡¯s self-introduction. After reading through it, even Zhang Yang¡¯s usually calm heart stirred up a few ripples. In the end, this was actually captured in a photo. Furthermore, he was out on a trip because the article he wrote was too vicious, and his legs were broken. He was initially a flop, but with the help of a lawsuit from the readers, he actually earned his first 800,000 yuan in his life. This¡­! The plot of this story was too bizarre and tortuous! Although the plot of the main character was written like trash, the worldview and the background structure were indeed well-developed. The entire Eastern continent, the Western world, and the demonic world were filled with unknowns, waiting for him to explore and decipher them. Moreover, it was said that there were many geniuses here. Not only that, but there were also many transmigrators. Things were getting more and more interesting. If he had nothing to do, he would have luck value. Perhaps there would be a bigger surprise waiting for him tomorrow. This was much more interesting than the previous boring world. Why not increase his strength now? He had nothing to do, anyway. Zhang Yang suddenly started to train in his small courtyard. Every move was filled with a sense of power. It was sad and pleasing to the eye, but at the same time, it was extremely lethal. At this moment, he treated martial arts as the art of killing people. The aesthetics of violence was extremely intoxicating. ¡°You have cultivated the Taiji Fist technique. Your physical attribute + 99.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Why did it only add 99 points of attributes? Could it be that the system¡¯s ability had weakened? No, that was not right. He thought about it carefully, as he had to give an answer¡­ It was the system that gave the newbie a big gift bag in the past, but the system did not explicitly state it. Now however, it had returned to its normal path. What?! Zhang Yang was a little dumbfounded. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation What made him even more dumbfounded was how his realm was only at the third level of ancient martial arts. This¡­ was really a little confusing. However, fortunately, he was very stable. As long as he had enough strength, it was enough. His realm was just a subsidiary. ¡­ It was soon night. In a high-class restaurant, Zhang Lifu looked at the somewhat reserved Zhang Yang and Zhang Xue¡¯er, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face. If his Yang¡¯er and Xue¡¯er could become a couple, they would get to know each other very well. If they succeeded, it would be a good thing. On the other hand, she, who was busy cooking, secretly glanced at Zhang Yang from the corner of her eyes. Seeing him eating quietly, her eyes curved into a smile. Suddenly, a cold female voice echoed in her body again. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. This brother of yours is ridiculously strong. I haven¡¯t seen him for a few hours, but his ability to control objects seems to have improved a little.¡± ¡°Hmm?!¡± Hearing the notification sound of physical strength, Zhang Xue¡¯er frowned slightly. ¡°Did something happen, Teacher Su Qing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that it will affect your mood. Let¡¯s wait until you finish eating first.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The mysterious woman hiding in her body was called Su Qing. However, she had never told her about her identity or background. The benefits and hatred involved were not something that could be explained in a day or two. She did not want the inherited disciple she had chosen to remember her abandoned history after hearing about the cause and effect. Facing these things before one¡¯s strength had fully grown would often result in a huge disaster. After letting out a sigh, she decided to wait until Zhang Xue¡¯er had fully grown before telling her everything about her background. Yes, she had witnessed it back then. After that¡­ the three of them had their fill of wine and food. The atmosphere became a little strange. ¡°Teacher, can you tell us what the situation is now? Also, what exactly happened when you wanted to speak but hesitated just now? ¡°Could it be that older brother¡¯s strength has become stronger again?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er made a bold guess. A woman¡¯s sixth sense told her that her older brother¡¯s talent and strength broke through again. However, it was an easy matter. He was much better than her. The pressure to catch up to him was not an ordinary one. She had to work hard. ¡°Hmm?! Could it be that this is the tacit understanding that a brother and sister have formed after spending so much time together?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say much, but I already guessed it.¡± ¡°But fortunately, I only guessed the more superficial information and didn¡¯t go in depth. Otherwise, as a master, wouldn¡¯t I lose respect?¡± ¡°Yes, your sixth sense is very accurate. However, don¡¯t get too excited about what I¡¯m going to say next. Your brother seems to have comprehended a new attribute. ¡°But this attribute, despite my decades of experience, I actually couldn¡¯t see through it! According to the actual situation, it must be an extremely powerful existence.¡± At that moment, Zhang Xue¡¯er was a little dumbfounded. How much time had passed? Her brother actually comprehended another¡­ comprehended a new attribute? Was this a monster? One had to know that comprehending an attribute was more difficult than increasing one¡¯s strength. The more attributes he comprehended, the greater the advantage he would have under the competition of the same conditions. At this moment, she was extremely shocked. She did not even hear father, Zhang Lifu, calling her softly. ¡°Xue¡¯er?¡± Zhang Lifu looked at his adopted daughter¡¯s blushing face. His eyes widened. ¡°Oh my god!¡± After letting out a soft cry, he coughed violently. She, who was usually calm, quickly covered her mouth with her right hand and tried her best to keep her voice low. After all, this was a rude behavior, especially in front of her older brother. On the other side, Father Zhang saw this strange situation and he was a little surprised. He felt a little confused. Could it be that something happened between her and Zhang Yang after he left? After saying this, Zhang Lifu quickly signaled to the sound transmission disciple with his eyes and said some useful information so that he could judge how far their relationship had progressed. He wanted to see if it was convenient for him to render him divine assistance. After all, the sect¡¯s business also needed to be passed down as the Zhang family only had one child for the past three generations. It was extremely worrying. He long wanted to have a grandson. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang was ridiculously talented in other aspects. Only when it came to matters of love, he acted like a straight man with steel rods. He did not understand girls at all and would not worry about his father. At the same time, on the side, the voice transmission disciple was very confused and was clueless. That night, listen to your father¡¯s instructions. Don¡¯t be a third wheel and leave early. God knows what happened that night. Perhaps the person involved would understand. Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s slightly red face looked a little blurry and cute under the illumination of the night lights. It also added a bit of a strange charm. The atmosphere became even more sophisticated and ambitious. ¡°No matter what, I won¡¯t give up.¡± ¡°Now, I, Zhang Xue¡¯er, swear in the name of the Heavenly Dao that I will definitely follow in elder brother¡¯s footsteps until death!¡± What Father Zhang and Zhang Yang did not know was that Zhang Xue¡¯er had already secretly sworn a poison oath. If she could not do it¡­ she would immediately die. This was a price that cultivators could not bear. However, as for Zhang Xue¡¯er, it was more of a spur. Yes, she had already given up everything. However, Zhang Yang did not know all of this. If he knew, he would probably feel extremely complicated. He had always treated her as his own sister¡­ Zhang Yang, who was sitting opposite her, did not notice that so many stories would happen in such a short time. He quietly listened to the system¡¯s notification. A new day had arrived, and he reckoned that it would be another bumper harvest. ¡°You have eaten a high-quality spirit meat. Body tempering attribute +99. ¡°Your mood is incomparably tranquil. Comprehension attribute +99. ¡°You have drunk a cup of thousand-year-old tea. Dao rhythm attribute +99. ¡°You have eaten a hundred-year-old ganoderma¡­¡± ¡­ His posture was graceful. After polishing off his meal, he could not help but smile happily when he heard the system give out a bunch of rewards. ¡®With the European Emperor¡¯s attribute, luck often accompanies me. This effect is indeed awesome.¡¯ From what he heard from others, it was very difficult to awaken a new attribute? Was this not something that happened casually and naturally? He did not feel it in his instinct at all. He even felt that the system rewards came too frequently, and he only wanted to be a beautiful man in peace. In the end, the heavens did not go as he wished. He was passively and helplessly comprehending new attributes. ¡®Go away, go away, you damned attributes, don¡¯t pester me¡­¡¯ ¡­ When the people in the triads heard those words, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. This was too f*cking excessive. He had taken advantage of her, yet she still acted like a good girl. He had worked hard to cultivate and achieve a break through. Even when he was on the verge of death, he might not be able to have it. In the end, in Zhang Yang¡¯s hands, he was like a wholesale cabbage in the market. All of this was the true feeling of the almighty in Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s body, Su Qing. Suddenly, a strange spiritual fluctuation came from within Xue¡¯er¡¯s body. Zhang Yang¡¯s sharp eyes shot over. What just happened again? Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Brother, did you gain new insights?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er, who was at the side, could not help but ask. She wanted to get a definite answer now. ¡°Yes. ¡°I just comprehended a body refining skill. ¡°It¡¯s very weak as it is only at the fifth level of ancient martial arts.¡± Zhang Yang replied indifferently. It seemed that nothing unexpected had happened. Xue¡¯er¡¯s strength had almost recovered. That explained why there was that strange spiritual energy fluctuation. On the other hand, even though Zhang Xue¡¯er was already prepared, she was still shocked when she received the actual result. Who would have thought that Father Zhang would also hear those words? As an elder, he had bitterly cultivated for more than forty years. Who would have thought that in just two or three days, he would have been surpassed by his son who was eighteen years younger than him? Most importantly, he was still so young, and he had almost all of his potential, talent, and power. It had only been a day¡­ and he was already that terrifying? When he thought of this, the corners of his mouth twitched a little. He was envious and jealous, even though this person was his son. However, at that moment, he felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart. After all, they were father and son who shared the same bloodline. In the future, it was not impossible for them to hand the Evil Spirit Sect over to him and grow it into a top-tier invincible sect in the Eastern continent. He believed that this day would come very soon, and he was extremely certain of it. Looking at the gratified expression on Father Zhang¡¯s face, Zhang Yang¡¯s heart was slightly moved. He had transmigrated here a long time ago, and he had completely fused into this world. The human heart was made of flesh. Without his father¡¯s tacit approval, it was impossible for him to enjoy such good treatment within the sect. Although his father was the sect master, Evil Spirit Sect was not built by one person, but by all the sect disciples. Regarding this point, it had already been confirmed when the sect was established. Zhang Yang had acknowledged his identity, and he had also accepted his father from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Hmph! ¡°If I had known that you were so talented, I wouldn¡¯t have allowed you to cultivate on your own on Broken Sword Peak. I could have found a few master teachers to guide you. Perhaps, you might have been able to avoid many detours. ¡°Perhaps, you might have grown stronger and walked further than you are now. This would have made me feel even more gratified. ¡°Child, you have wasted a lot of time.¡± Zhang Lifu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly sighed. ¡®Wasted time? Taking a detour?¡¯ After listening to him, Zhang Yang¡¯s mind buzzed. He must have misunderstood something. ¡°Father, I think you must have misunderstood. The cultivation I did in the past did not waste my time. ¡°Without the accumulation and foundation of the early stages, I would not have been able to train myself to be calm and composed. Even if I had the strength, my foundation would be unstable and I would have gone mad. At that time, it would have been difficult to save me. Perhaps the foundation of the orthodox would have been destroyed sooner or later.¡± ¡°It makes sense for you to think like that. If virtue is not in place, there will definitely be a disaster. ¡°Moreover, your cultivation speed is not slow, and your foundation is also very solid. It should be the result of the accumulation of strength. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s better to accumulate strength. Back then, our Zhang family also had a genius like you. However, because his foundation was not solid, he forcefully broke through. In the end, he died under the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. This was indeed a lesson.¡± After listening, Zhang Yang spoke again, ¡°I agree with father¡¯s point of view. After ten years of accumulation, my foundation is extremely solid. To say that it¡¯s a gift from the heavens is nothing more than this. ¡°Furthermore, it didn¡¯t waste any time. Back then, the strongest genius who was with me was only at first dan Xiantian realm. Now, I can kill him with one hand. ¡°Finally, the mental strength training might not be inferior to a simple increase in strength. Based on my personal experience, I am inclined toward the former. Maybe I can reach the Xiantian realm and above.¡± ¡°Xiantian realm and above?!¡± Father Zhang suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened. ¡°Yang¡¯er, are you sure?!¡± ¡°How many years have I been in the Eastern continent? The strongest person is only at ninth dan Xiantian realm. He hasn¡¯t even reached the peak yet.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know when he reached the peak, but the ninth dan Xiantian realm practitioner has retired from the triad. I haven¡¯t heard any news from him since. ¡°As for the Western continent and the Devil Gate continent, it is said that some people have already broken through to the Xiantian realm and above. One day, a groundbreaking war will break out between the three sides. At that time, I reckon that we will be very passive¡­ ¡°However, I believe in you!¡± Father Zhang seemed to have suddenly thought of something and decided to tell the truth. Zhang Yang had the need and the obligation to know all of this. ¡°Now listen carefully. Your ancestor is a body-refining disciple of the Eastern continent, a super-first-class force of the great Heavenly Gate. ¡°Hundreds of years ago, the Eastern continent, the Western continent, and the Devil¡¯s Gate continent broke out in a decisive military battle. ¡°In order to defend the honor and pride of the East, your ancestor sacrificed himself gloriously in the decisive battle. It won time for the arrival of the main forces, and it also won a perfect opportunity to counterattack for the final victory. ¡°Therefore, in order to thank our Zhang family for their efforts, the Heavenly Gate has left a spot. In the future, as long as you are a member of the Zhang family, you can enter the Heavenly Gate with the commemorative token from that year and become a glorious disciple. ¡°Your grandfather and I believe that we are not capable and have no talent. Even if we enter, we will be kicked out of the gate. Now, we have decided to give the token to you.¡± Zhang Yang solemnly took the token with a long history. The dense lines on it gave off an ancient aura. At this moment, he did not think that under the cover of his white lies, he would be able to obtain such hidden anecdotes. This world seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined, and it was much more powerful. Capable people and extraordinary people were constantly emerging. He was extremely certain that there was not a single person in the Eastern continent who could fight at the same time. However, he did not understand the Western continent and the demonic continent at all. It seemed that it was better to be more stable and develop in the future. He could just be a salted fish on the surface and observe quietly. While reducing unnecessary hostility, he could also secretly make a fortune. ¡®Hmm, let¡¯s do it this way.¡¯ ¡°You¡¯ve woven a white lie, Buddhist golden mouth attribute +99.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve observed an ancient token. Enlightenment attribute +99.¡± ¡­ The familiar sound of a notification flashed past. Right now, he felt a warm energy wrapping around his body, and his entire body felt extremely relaxed. However, with his talent and strength, it was better not to have this token! ¡­ Thus, he decided to return the token. ¡°Leave the token to those who need it. It would be a waste to give it to me. Do you really trust me?¡± Father Zhang was speechless. That was indeed the case, but could this little brat leave some face for his father? After that, in Zhang Yang¡¯s opinion, was this not equivalent to taking on the glory of his ancestors and using a backdoor? He felt disdained to do such a thing. Hmm? Looking at the time displayed on the screen, it seemed that the selection would start in seven days. Therefore, it was still not too late to rush over. It seemed that they were still on Devil Spirit Mountain. Eh! This was a coincidence¡­ He had a complete strategy map¡­ Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Suddenly, Zhang Yang thought of something. Would there be many transmigrators appearing in the sect selection of Devil Spirit Mountain? Heh! If that was really the case, then would the opportunity to open the treasure be right in front of him? He had to grab hold of this opportunity. Perhaps after killing them, a few memory fragments of transmigrators would drop. When that time came, it would probably be another bumper harvest. The transmigrators who had arrived in the foreign world at the same time as Zhang Yang would never have thought that they would be targeted. They even treated them like leeks. It was just that the prey were all in the dark and were all unaware. ¡­ The next day¡­ The Heavenly Gate was located in the center of the Eastern continent. It was quite far away from his own sect, so Zhang Yang decided to set off early. According to the public information, all the disciples who participated in the selection would be sent to Devil Spirit Mountain. Whoever could kill those beasts, defeat the other competitors, and survive would be successful and become a glorious disciple of the Heavenly Gate. This title was not to be underestimated. Every year, people came one after another for it, and even sacrificed their lives for it. However, there were still countless people who did not succeed in the selection. After taking aim at his target, Zhang Yang was ready to set off at any moment. Once everything was prepared, he stepped onto his magical rocket without looking back. With the help of the magical treasure, he could travel over ten thousand kilometers in a day. This was a speed that even the original world did not dare to imagine. However, even so, he still needed to walk for a full seven days. The most prosperous area in the center was just this far away. This world was extremely huge, and it was filled with unknown places. A moment later, all that was left was a dashing silhouette. Zhang Xue¡¯er stared at the silhouette for a long time until her teacher reminded her, ¡°Don¡¯t look at it anymore. The cultivation technique that I have imparted to you should be able to achieve 1% of his cultivation in a dangerous situation. ¡°However, if you want to catch up to him, you will have to put in a hundred times more effort. You should be mentally prepared for the process¡­ as it will be very painful.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. As long as I can catch up to him, I¡¯ll pay the price.¡± Initially, because her strength had just recovered, her cultivation base was not that stable. At this moment, she wished that she could grow wings and leave immediately. Then, she would be able to instantly start the trial because she did not want to fall too far behind. ¡­ At that time, Zhang Yang did not know how much determination the young girl had made. He was leisurely flying around, admiring the scenery along the road. Ants taller than a person¡­ elephants smaller than ants¡­ overlord flowers with sharp teeth¡­ The journey was filled with fun. ¡°Ding, you feel extremely happy. Comprehension +99.¡± Zhang Yang looked at the notification and pondered for a long time. He started to think more about cultivation. Spiritual energy condensed into a physical form and revolved around his Dantian. Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle¡­ The sound of a break through came from within his body. Just as he was feeling the European Emperor¡¯s attribute, it brought him an increase in strength. The disciple piloting the magical treasure seemed to have seen something extraordinary and suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Young master, in the small forest ahead, there seems to be a cultivator who is acting suspiciously. There seems to be a situation.¡± ¡°Eh?!¡± In the extremely dangerous Sky Blue mountain range, ghosts were running rampant at night, and now there was actually someone outside. It was either an expert who had something in mind, or a retard. However, what kind of person was it? This aroused his curiosity. He looked in the direction of the lower-level disciple. Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback. Could it be that he had encountered the vulgar trick of a woman disguising herself as a man? After taking a closer look, he realized that it really was a man. They were¡­ What were they trying to do?! Could it be that they were a ghost that had taken human form in the middle of the night? No, this aura was not right. It seemed to be a person. Slowly¡­ slowly¡­ The magical treasure stopped in front of the two of them. At the same time, a familiar aura emanated from the azure-robed cultivator. This¡­ ¡®F*ck! ¡®Is my luck really that good? I met another transmigrator?!¡¯ It was two women. Judging from their age, they were probably around sixteen or seventeen. The two of them had used disguising spells. They disguised their features such as adding eyebrows, beards, wigs, smells, clothes, corset, and all the masculine features on the surface, in order to look like a man as much as possible. However, no matter how good the disguise was, it was all exposed in front of Zhang Yang¡¯s fiery eyes. What the two of them did not know was that they had been exposed. At that time, Hua Xue also felt Zhang Yang¡¯s sharp gaze. All the secrets on her body seemed to have been seen through, including the biggest secret of a woman pretending to be a man. It might be that she was thinking too much. After shaking her head in her heart, she shook off her ridiculous thoughts. Then, she used an extremely polite tone to ask. ¡°Young master, are you going to Devil Spirit Mountain? I wonder if you can give me a ride. My traveling magical treasure was damaged because I met a fierce beast on the way. Don¡¯t worry, young master, we will definitely give you an equivalent reward.¡± Following the voice, Zhang Yang looked at the green-clothed man with an unnatural expression. He thought about it and realized that this journey was very boring. With a woman here and a beautiful woman as a companion, he could chat with her in his free time to relieve his boredom. Thus, without thinking, he agreed to Hua Xue¡¯s request. However, none of the above was the main reason. The most important thing was that he actually met the first female lead of the retarded author. Her identity was also a transmigrator. In the following days, the journey would probably be very interesting. This was a game of pretenders, and it tested the basic qualities of an actor. Zhang Yang just stared at her. Could it be that the pretenders¡¯ act were seen through? No! That was absolutely impossible. He had a considerable amount of confidence. If it was not for those at the innate realm and above, he would not have been able to detect it at all. Even if it was a transformation realm or a spiritual master, it would still be the same if they came. The man before him was only at the level of the ancient martial arts realm. Hence, how could he possibly see through it? However, how could Hua Xue have thought that she would encounter an existence who had obtained the script in advance? Zhang Yang was clear about her personality, weaknesses, what she was going to do next, and what kind of strength she had. Zhang Yang said softly, ¡°Reward? I¡¯m not lacking in that, as it¡¯s just a small issue. Get in the magical treasure.¡± After getting in the magical treasure, Hua Xue felt several powerful elemental energies fluctuate around her. Water control¡­ object control¡­ body refinement¡­ fate¡­ they were all at level 3 max! Oh my god! Who exactly was he? Hua Xue had seen geniuses, evildoers, and people with all sorts of reputations, but she had never seen such a peculiar existence. Moreover, she secretly used her spiritual power to sense that this person was only 18 years old. How could she believe it?! ¡°You have received the attention of the chosen one. The Child of Fate¡¯s attribute +99.¡± A hint that was hard to detect floated in front of his eyes. Zhang Yang seemed to be deep in thought. The attributes of the European Emperor were so awesome. While flying, the two of them sized each other up. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the surroundings of their flying magical treasure. A strong smell of blood wafted into the air. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The two of them looked at each other in shock, and their faces turned solemn. Something was wrong! At this moment, it was already too late. An old man who was running away in a panic suddenly crashed into the engine of the flying magical treasure. Then, a burst of black smoke billowed into the air. Zhang Yang and the others were forced to land on a flat grassy plains. What the hell! ¡®Didn¡¯t they say that there was some kind of luck that he was possessed by the European Emperor? Now that they were out of the country, they encountered a terrorist attack?! ¡®F*ck!¡¯ No, wait a moment. The system probably would not lie to him. Could it be that this was also luck that was delivered to his doorstep? However, the way of playing appeared to be a little bit special. Moreover, looking at the injured appearance of the old man, he might as well find out his identity. Could it be that he was the classic character in Shuang Wen, The Ring Grandpa? It was just that the ring had disappeared, and this sudden appearance did not seem acceptable. In the end, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was a severely injured. Several of his ribs were broken, and the spiritual energy in his body was also on the verge of drying up. Looking carefully, it seemed that he was a body-refining powerhouse. The dirty blood continued to flow on his face, and his clothes were torn into dozens of pieces. The bottom of his pants could only cover his important parts. Oh, his legs were still a little white. His entire body was akin to that of a large beggar. He no longer had the demeanor of a sage-like expert. Now, even a child holding a kitchen knife could take his life. Ignoring the comical appearance, a large head that was extremely unwilling to accept death suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yang and the others. It seemed that a ground breaking battle had just broken out. The aura of the body-refining attribute surged crazily in the old man¡¯s body, as if it was constantly displaying his former glory. ¡°You have seen the old man¡¯s ultimate skill, body-refining attribute +99.¡± Hearing the notification sound, Zhang Yang was extremely calm about all this. ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡± The old man, Sun Zhe, who had barely opened his eyes, felt his qi and blood surging. Pu! Finally, unable to take it anymore, he spat out a mouthful of stinky blood. With great difficulty, he finally perked up and found a peerless treasure. After taking a closer look¡­ what a good guy! Even an old monster like him called him a good guy. This talent of body-refining attribute was too f*cking ridiculous. Not only that, but he also had several attributes, and they were not conflicting. Instead, they got along very well. It was unheard of! However, it was also good that he finally found the owner of the inheritance. Even if he left, Sun Zhe would live in another form in the human world. ¡°Little friend, listen well. I am an elder of the super first-class power, the Heavenly Gate, Sun Zhe. ¡°This time, I was ambushed by my enemies. I know that I don¡¯t have much time left. Now, I don¡¯t want to let down my body-refining technique. I want to find a master to pass it down. It is fate that we meet today. ¡°You just have to acknowledge me as your master. I will give you a heaven-defying opportunity. Are you willing to do so?¡± One second¡­ two seconds¡­ three seconds had passed¡­ ¡­ However, even a few minutes later, the scene of him acknowledging Sun Zhe as his master did not appear. ¡°Hmm? ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Sun Zhe blinked his eyes. It was obvious that he was a little confused by this abnormal situation. Could it be that his name was not well-known enough? Or maybe this young man came from a remote and small place and did not understand the market? Forget it, forget it. He was about to die, so why talk about dignity. As long as he could pass on his unique martial arts technique, it was good enough. Moreover, this young man had a kind face and probably would not do anything harmful. It was also in line with the sect¡¯s rules. Suddenly, Sun Zhe, who did not know where his strength came from, jumped up and tightly held Zhang Yang¡¯s hand. His big eyes were shining with starlights. He said in a pleading tone, ¡°Little friend, please take me as your master. I won¡¯t mistreat you. You will have everything you want!¡± On the other side, Hua Xue was watching this scene. A huge wave was stirred up in her heart. The eldest son of the Heavenly Gate was actually begging someone to take him as his master?! One must know that there was once a genius of the Hua family who had an unusual talent in body-refining attribute and wanted to take him as her master. In the end, he was mercilessly rejected because he did not have enough talent and did not need to force it upon himself. Otherwise, he would definitely suffer a backlash. It was as if she was living in a dream. An illusion?! However, this really happened right in front of her eyes. What was even more ridiculous was that the young man who got into the magical treasure with her even took a glance at her, as if there were no ripples in his heart. That was the most powerful body refining inheritance in the entire Eastern continent, and he just ignored it! What was even more ridiculous was that he did not even bat his eyelids. ¡­ The world that Hua Xue knew was a little different than normal. On the other hand, the lower-ranked disciples around him were very tempted. However, without Zhang Yang¡¯s nod, they did not dare to come over. All of these reactions showed that Zhang Yang did not care about it at all. Or perhaps, he had a greater reliance on it. If it was not for the fact that a woman¡¯s sixth sense was as efficient as a radar, her guess was very accurate! Zhang Yang, who had the attributes of the European Emperor, Child of the Plane, and Child of Fate, actually had someone who wanted to take him in as a disciple. At that moment, he was looking at the good intentions of the old man. Zhang Yang fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. He had just casually ridiculed the old man, but in the end, the old man really fell from the sky. The way he appeared almost made him experience an emergency landing. After landing steadily, he was asked to become a disciple. Time was especially tight, and it felt like he was trying to get something out of it. Hua Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt. Everything was a little beyond her comprehension. It was estimated that any normal person would have the same reaction as her. Sun Zhe, who opposed her, suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that this teenager was overly cautious and was afraid that he would harm others?! The more he thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth. After organizing his words and pausing for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, ¡°Young friend, you can be rest assured that I won¡¯t harm others. I¡¯ve already said it before. ¡°I¡¯m an elder of the Heavenly Gate. If I were to target you, you wouldn¡¯t be able to resist with your small body. You would have long become a dead soul with just one punch. ¡°Now that I¡¯ve used the last of my blood essence, I won¡¯t be able to last for more than a few hours, so can you help me fulfil this humble wish? Be my disciple. Count it as me begging you to do so.¡± Zhang Yang had obviously underestimated the old man¡¯s face. On the other hand, this kind of old monster valued inheritance the most. If he encountered a genius that moved him, then he had to take him into his own sect at all costs. Bluff, kidnap, knock him out and take him away¡­ In short, he would do anything, as long as he achieved his goal. He raised his head to look at the sky, where the terrifying fist shadow was slowly healing. It seemed that the old man¡¯s enemy was a little strong, but such a strong enemy still managed to take his head off. He indeed had some ability. At this moment, he was extremely conflicted. Could it be that he had to show his cards?! He said that he was the Child of Fate! He did not even care about martial arts. If that was the case, he would be too good at drawing hatred. He reckoned that the old man would probably die of anger. Just as Zhang Yang was hesitating, suddenly¡­ Sun Zhe spat out a mouthful of blood with pieces of internal organs. This¡­ Was he forced to make a choice? Since that was the case, then he would choose¡­ Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The old man grabbed Zhang Yang¡¯s hands and trembled slightly. He looked at the extraordinarily handsome and talented Zhang Yang, who might be the peerless demon of the ages. Sun Zhe really wanted to immediately take him as a disciple and hand over the inheritance of his life to him! If he lost it just like that, he would not be able to rest in peace even in the underworld. How could his reputation of being a wooden man be spread in the triads? However, this brat was really infuriating. He had not made his decision yet. If he was at his peak, he would have knocked him out long ago, tied him up, and then slowly taught him a lesson. However, now, he could not do it! ¡°Cough, cough, cough, cough¡­ ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t be afraid. I don¡¯t have any ill intentions toward you. If I did, you would have died long ago when I approached your flying magical treasure. There¡¯s no need to wait until this moment. ¡°Hence, think about it carefully.¡± Another mouthful of blood with pieces in it was spat out. The protagonist of the reborn stood out. His face visibly turned pale, and his tone gradually became weak. His pupils also became more and more dilated. Now, all he badly wanted was a successor so that he could leave with a peace of mind. Back in the Eastern continent, countless heroes knelt before his door, and he did not even bother to pay attention to them. When he went out, he would often be accompanied by dozens or hundreds of people. How awe-inspiring was that?! When he traveled the world of martial arts, he enjoyed a lot of preferential treatment by merely mentioning his name. However, all of this had disappeared. When he returned from the treasure hunt, he was actually ambushed to death by his enemy. Although he risked his life, killed his enemy, and even got his enemy¡¯s head, the price he had to pay was that his tendons and veins were destroyed. He was about to go to the underworld. Everything in front of him became more and more blurry. The Grim Reaper was waving at him. He did not have long to live, and he was suffering as well. It was not unless he could get the legendary soul-extending grass that defied the heavens and change his fate. However, why would the legendary immortal grass appear here? Sigh! He was about to die, but he was still having unrealistic dreams¡­ this brain of his. It was also his fate! Hmm?! What was so dazzling? After expending his last bit of energy, he suddenly realized that this was coming from Zhang Yang. It turned out that he had underestimated his little friend¡¯s talent. His body refining attribute was ridiculously strong, and it was actually higher than his. This was also good. His life was initially passed on to him, and it was not considered a disgrace to his birth mother¡¯s reputation. As for the girl next to him, although she disguised herself as a man very well, her act was still seen through at a glance. Her body was soft and weak, hence she was not suitable. The little friend in front of him was still more talented, and his quality was more reliable. Moreover, he had a handsome face, so he could gain a lot of points when he used the body-refining martial arts skill. At the last moment, he no longer stubbornly insisted on taking in a disciple. He took a deep breath and decided to teach Zhang Yang everything he had learned in his life. ¡°Little friend, listen well. I know that death is coming soon, so listen well.¡± ¡°The following mnemonic¡­¡± Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhang Yang¡¯s voice, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. ¡°Um¡­ that¡­ Grandpa, I¡¯m not afraid at all. ¡°On the contrary, I believe in your character and have high respect for you.¡± Zhang Yang would not simply say such things. The system had just detected that grandpa was a kind person with a good character. In this life, he basically never did anything outrageous and the moment they met, he gave him such a great opportunity. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. After all, the human heart is made of flesh and blood. When he thought about the past, the old man who forced him to make a choice was somehow a little cute. What an old brat. He actually forced himself to die. After analyzing all aspects, Zhang Yang was certain that the old man was a decent person. In addition to what his father had mentioned earlier, a war would break out between the Eastern continent, the Western continent, and the demonic continent soon. At that time, any power would be extremely precious. The old man could not be taken away by the Grim Reaper just like that. Hence, Zhang Yang decided to save his life. All of a sudden, an extremely pure body refining essence was slowly activated in his body. In a short while, it flowed into the surface of his body and released a powerful pressure. The air seemed to change. The temperature rose rapidly and became scorchingly hot. Even the surrounding woods seemed to be possessed. They all bent down as if they were welcoming the arrival of their king. The old man¡¯s mouth opened wide. He had met a genius who was even more ridiculous than he had imagined. His gaze, which had just gradually dimmed, could not help but flash with a strange look at this moment. Hence, he forced himself to stand up. He held Zhang Yang¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Little friend, I beg you to be my disciple¡­¡± A similar scene happened again. Similarly, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Yang¡¯s impatient voice, ¡°Uh¡­ senior, that¡¯s what I want. There¡¯s no need to rush. You can still be saved, so there¡¯s no need to be so pessimistic¡­¡± ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­ There¡¯s still hope?! My young friend, there¡¯s no need to persuade me. I¡¯m very clear about my own physical condition.¡± Sun Zhe looked at Zhang Yang. As expected, he did not misjudge him. Having a pure heart was indeed worthy of having his inheritance. ¡°It¡¯s useless. Little friend, there¡¯s no need to waste your effort. ¡°This time, my Dao foundation has been damaged and my spiritual energy has been exhausted. I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t be able to live for more than four hours. Unless there¡¯s a soul-extending grass. However, how could that legendary item appear here?¡± The old man looked at Zhang Yang. His eyes were filled with anticipation. He hoped that Zhang Yang would recognize him as his master as soon as possible so that he could pass down all of his martial arts skills to him. It was to fulfil his one last wish. Otherwise, he would have to report to the Death God with endless regrets after four hours. Zhang Yang really did not know what the old man was thinking about. After listening to the great leader of the party, Zhang Yang used his hand to prop up his chin and pondered for a while. What kind of item was this? It was actually in his storage space. However, why was it easily found? He heard that it was very precious. He used to think that it smelled good and used it as an air freshener. He did not expect it to have such an effect. However, he had a headache now. He had used it long ago. Where could he go to find it again? Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the sky. Without any warning, after a group of geese flew east, a few soul-extending grass fell from the sky. They were regarded as extremely precious immortal grass by countless people in the triads. Three or five of them fell onto the ground. F*ck! He had traveled with the triads for dozens of years, but he had never seen such a strange thing. Could it be that he was the Child of Fate? Wherever Zhang Yang was, luck and opportunities would follow closely. This luck was too ridiculous! ¡­ These were all great items that could repair the damage to one¡¯s foundation. Even a top-tier faction would have to spend a lot of effort to find them. However, as Zhang Yang casually said that, a rare item appeared in front of them out of nowhere. The two of them were stunned. Zhang Yang picked up a soul-extending grass from the ground with a faint smile on his face. ¡°Senior, is this the extremely rare soul-extending grass that you mentioned?!¡± ¡­ Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation F*ck! How the f*ck would I know that you played by the rules? This is like opening a cheat. At this moment, Sun Zhe finally gained some understanding. It seemed that Zhang Yang¡¯s luck was much more terrifying than he had imagined. ¡°You pick up a soul-extending grass. Enlightenment attribute +99.¡± ¡°You watched the old man¡¯s body-refining martial arts skill. Dao heart toughness +99.¡± ¡°Watch¡­¡± On the other side¡­ Sun Zhe saw that there was hope for his strength to recover. Also, the incomparably precious soul-extending grass was placed on the ground just like that. His heart was bleeding non-stop. ¡®What a waste! ¡®What a huge waste! ¡®Titanium! ¡®You are indeed prodigal.¡¯ However, Sun Zhe only dared to curse silently in his heart. Finally, he made up his mind and no longer had that unrealistic idea of taking in a disciple. Then, he burned his natal essence again and forced himself to stand up. He tidied his clothes and brushed away the blood stains. He pretended to stiffly be an expert. Then, he said with great regret, ¡°Oh my god! How can such an immortal treasure be casually placed on the ground? ¡°It¡¯s a huge waste. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll keep it for you.¡± He could not wait any longer and kept the soul-extending grass in his bag with lightning fast speed. He laughed and nodded slightly. That¡­ little friend, you and I are fated. ¡°This is the ultimate body-refining martial arts technique, the Strength Vajra. Quickly save it and go down to study it. I think you¡¯ll have a different understanding of it soon.¡± Zhang Yang silently looked at the divine technique that the grandfather handed over. On it was the violent aura that had been left not long ago after the great battle. It made people fearful. Hua Xue¡¯s delicate lips showed extreme surprise. The powerful and extraordinary divine technique had no effect on Zhang Yang at all. Sun Zhe acted as if he did not notice and continued to lie to himself. ¡°Little friend, as long as you cultivate this divine technique of mine, even if it is just a little bit, you would not dare to shatter the void with one punch. However, breaking a mountain range with one punch will not be a problem at all. ¡°Take me for example. Even if I only cultivate a little, I can still become the number one elder of the Heavenly Gate. While I enjoy a high status, I will also be able to access a huge amount of cultivation resources.¡± Zhang Yang looked at the old man¡¯s incessant lies, and his expression gradually became strange. No matter how he looked at it, he looked more and more like a swindler from his hometown who was trying to rip people¡¯s heads off. Swindlers often used this method to describe an unprecedentedly ambitious goal. Your style as an expert¡­ Could you go take a bath first¡­ and change into clean, refreshing, and tidy clothes? This divine ability was full of unreliable meanings, even if you described it as real. However, could it be compared to the tyrannical Child of Fate¡¯s attributes? ¡°Senior¡­ ¡°What you said seems to be a mental cultivation method and not divine ability¡­¡± ¡°Ah, this!¡± Sun Zhe¡¯s face darkened. He did not expect to make such a big mistake. Instead of acting cool, he felt extremely embarrassed. His face was burning with embarrassment. Hua Xue tried her best to suppress her laughter, and her expression was abnormally rich. The conversation between the old and young was just like a skit. It was truly interesting. When she thought about the possibility of her Dao foundation recovering, and the nourishment of the soul-extending grass, she seemed to have gained a new understanding of the cultivation technique. He could not wait to return to the sect and go into seclusion to break through. Perhaps his strength would increase by another level. However, it was difficult for him to act cool in front of this young man. Hence, he did it right away. ¡°Cough, cough, cough. My young friend, you and I are really fated. This is my token. Three days later, the Heavenly Gate Sect will hold the entrance disciple test on Devil Spirit mountain. When the time comes, take my token and directly pass it to them. ¡°My pet is going to into labor, so I must be off as soon as possible. Goodbye.¡± ¡­ He disappeared into a puff of smoke. Grandpa was pretty fast. ¡°Hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­ hahaha¡­¡± Hua Xue could not help but lightly laughed out loud a few times. ¡°Young master, you are really interesting. You have opened my eyes. Sun Zhe, the first elder of the Heavenly Gate, still has the temperament of a child in front of you. I reckon that if word got out, everyone in the triad would roll their eyeballs.¡± ¡°Eh, no¡­ no.¡± Zhang Yang did not say much after replying. The first Saintess in front of him had a terrifying background and talent. However, she did not understand what it meant to be a cheater, the Child of Fate, and have the European Emperor¡¯s attribute. For some reason, ever since she met Zhang Yang, all kinds of strange things had happened beside her. First, the engine of the flying magical treasure was destroyed at a safe altitude, and then the first elder of the Heavenly Gate appeared. All sorts of ridiculous coincidences seemed to be happening. This aroused her great interest. Zhang Yang¡¯s body was covered by a veil, and he was very charming. She really wanted to take a look at him. Moreover, with her background, she had a very broad understanding. The young man in front of her was probably even more talented than her. As long as he did not die in the future, he would definitely be the number one powerhouse in the Eastern continent. He assumed that he would not be at a disadvantage when compared to the geniuses from the Western continent and the demonic continent. In fact, he might even be above them. He was looking forward to how far Zhang Yang could go as he had never seen such an interesting person. His eyes could not help but give off a strange look. ¡°Young Master Zhang, are you going to the heavenly gate to participate in the trial and become a disciple?!¡± Zhang Yang nodded slightly and replied, ¡°Yes.¡± On the other hand, he called for the lower-level disciples to see if they could repair the magical flying rocket. There was still some distance. Although they could walk, it would take some effort. As a salted fish, he would naturally save effort if he could. He touched the cold and tactile token. At this moment, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡®I, Zhang, am the kind of person who likes to open the back door and use connections?¡¯ He had rejected it back at his hometown, but in the end, there was another one. At the same time, the lower level disciples had long been scared out of their wits by that bloody head. In addition, the flying magical treasure had been completely destroyed. It would be difficult to fix it¡­ Helpless, he shook his head at the young master, indicating that there was nothing he could do. Zhang Yang did not say anything else. He took out a magical teleportation treasure from his storage space and casually threw it to him. He signaled for him to hurry back and not stay here. Although he was not a good person, he would never do something heartless. The lower level disciple had followed him for such a long distance. Even if he did not get any credit, he still had to work hard as there was no reason not to. Due to the fact that he was weak, he should have been left here and eaten alive by wild beasts. The lower level disciple who received the magical teleportation treasure was excited. ¡°Thank you, young master. Long live the young master!¡± The lower level disciple hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude. ¡°This is a magical teleportation treasure. Follow me to continue walking or return to the safe zone. It¡¯s up to you to decide. I won¡¯t interfere anymore.¡± Although the value of a magical teleportation treasure was something that even thousands of low-level disciples could not match up to, in Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes, a person¡¯s life was more valuable. Even though he would not show his kindness, he would never want to watch the people close to him die because of him. After the disciple left, Hua Xue said in silence, ¡°Actually, young master Zhang, there is no need for that. How can a low-level disciple be as valuable as a magical teleportation treasure? ¡°You are too kind. You will suffer a great loss in the future.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows. While the two of them were walking, they reached the selection of the Heavenly Gate disciple. The Devil Spirit mountain range also appeared in front of Zhang Yang and the others. An extremely powerful aura washed over them. Hua Xue could not help but feel a huge pressure and stopped. Was there a situation? Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Is there a situation?¡± ¡°Indeed. Without realizing it, we have almost arrived at the Heavenly Gate¡¯s training ground, the Devil Spirit Mountain Range. ¡°There are a lot of powerful wild beasts here.¡± ¡°I heard that there is a death quota during the training. Once we enter the mountain range, the test will officially begin. ¡°Furthermore, there is no chance for you to go back on your words. Whether you live or die depends on your strength. If you are unlucky enough to be killed by a ferocious beast, that is also your fate. ¡°Although you can ask for help, that means you forfeit your participation.¡± Hua Xue¡¯s words were repeated continuously. It seemed like she had done a lot of preparations beforehand. ¡°Trial? ¡°Oh. ¡°Is there still a need for the trial?¡± Zhang Yang was still very indifferent as if he had not heard anything. What trial? To him, this was still a problem as it did not exist at all. Hua Xue looked at the extremely calm Zhang Yang and patted her head. Yes, this person has a VIP pass. He did not need to go through any trouble to participate in any trial and put himself in an extremely dangerous situation. How nice would it be to directly pass the trials and become a glorious disciple of the Heavenly Gate? Zhang Yang naturally did not know about Hua Xue¡¯s little tricks, but even if he did, he would still laugh. He really did not want to win in a lie. At times, he just wanted to be a piece of salted fish. However, such a charming little fairy-like fate just had to find him, and he could not shake her off. This was very painful, alright. ¡°Oh right, I still have my magical treasure here. Brother, do you want to hitch a ride?¡± Turning around, Zhang Yang said softly, ¡°Haha, you don¡¯t have to be so polite. You and I are of the same generation. Just call me by my name.¡± Hua Xue smiled slightly. At this moment, she seemed to have been infected and was in an extremely good mood. She wanted to see just how many surprises this strange man in front of her would bring. However, the rest of the journey, such as what happens during it, may be far beyond her expectations. Not only that, as it is possible to have doubts about life. ¡­ Suddenly the magical treasure jerked, as if it had bumped into something extraordinary. Another old man in a ring? ¡®Hmmm¡­ uh-huh.¡¯ His own luck was too outrageous. Wait a moment, something was not right. ¡®I was wondering why I met another one.¡¯ ¡®If you look carefully, you¡¯ll see that it¡¯s an even more terrifying existence than the old man in the ring. ¡®Ferocious Beast Qiong Qi! ¡®An ancient spiritual beast whose strength far surpasses the transformation realm. Why would it appear here? Furthermore, it seems to be heavily injured.¡¯ Hua Xue exclaimed in her heart. Qiong Qi, who was still lying in front of Zhang Yang, had tears of blood hanging from the corners of his eyes. His large round eyes revealed a trace of sorrow. This caused one¡¯s heart to wrench. ¡°Young man, looking at your abnormally handsome face, your body tempering attribute is at the max level. ¡°Now, in order to avoid the pursuit of my enemies, I have burned my source of Dao. I¡¯m about to die. ¡°Here is a map of me. On it are records of some of the Peerless Treasures of the Western continent. It is also fate that we met. I will hand it over to you now.¡± Zhang Yang was a little confused. An old man with a ring had just walked in front of him, but an ancient ferocious beast had come right away. It could even directly communicate with him and acknowledge him as its master. ¡®It did not even ask for my permission!¡¯ This¡­ was indeed magical. On the other side, Hua Xue, who had been with Zhang Yang for many days, was a little skeptical of life. What kind of luck was this? It was too ridiculous. With a certain amount of resources and background, she thought of all the memories in her mind and realized that those so-called geniuses and evildoers were all extremely weak especially in front of this person. If it was not for the girl¡¯s modesty and her own self-cultivation, she would have cursed already. ¡®Brother Zhang, your strength is too ridiculous.¡¯ Even after seeing a girl, she cried out in envy and jealousy. He knew the old Grandpa in front of him and the Ancient Ferocious Beast Qiong Qi. Even if one was a genius, one would already be lucky enough to meet one, but Zhang Yang had to meet two. This¡­ was way too ridiculous! ¡°Ah, this! ¡°Senior ferocious beast, it¡¯s our first time meeting, and you already have such a big gift for us. ¡°It¡¯s really hard for me to accept it. Moreover, it¡¯s not that the senior¡¯s injuries can¡¯t be treated so there¡¯s no need to be so sad.¡± Zhang Yang bent down and carefully examined the injuries of the Ancient Ferocious Beast Qiong Qi. In the eyes of others, it seemed to be very serious, but in his eyes, it was probably just a small injury. Perhaps, he had some medicine in his inventory that could be used to treat it. At the thought of this, Zhang Yang¡¯s gaze became a little helpless. How did all the good things in the world happen to him? According to the system¡¯s explanation, his luck attribute had been maxed out after coming to the alternate world. Was the effect really that terrifying? The form of the effect was just so bizarre as there was only a slither of normality in it. There was still some distance to the Devil Spirit Mountain Range. Due to all sorts of coincidences, he would probably encounter other things along the way. Of course, he was not that averse to good things coming his way. He could not wait for more of these things to come his way. Every time he came, he would receive an extraordinary reward. The feeling of constantly increasing his strength and attributes was much more interesting. Moreover, he had a premonition that after he healed this injured beast, it might drop a big gift pack. As he thought about it, he actually had a bit of anticipation in his heart. Casually taking out a small bottle of spiritual water of the source of Dao, Zhang Yang spoke with incomparable sincerity, ¡°Senior, this is a bottle of spiritual water that I obtained by chance to restore the source of Dao. You might as well take a look. ¡°It has a great effect on the beast race. ¡°To paraphrase, we are also considered fated, so I¡¯ll give it to you. ¡°I hope it will be of some help to your injuries.¡± Zhang Yang fully trusted the system. After all, it had the title of ¡®Invincible Luck¡¯, and it even gave him a full luck attribute. It should not do anything to harm the host. ¡­ If the bad people who had ill intentions toward him could not be isolated, then Zhang Yang¡¯s luck would not be that ridiculously strong. Qiong Qi¡¯s eyes suddenly widened, feeling incredulous. It thought about how it had searched through thousands of rivers and mountains, suffered many setbacks and sufferings, but still could not find the spiritual spring water. However, it had appeared in the hands of Zhang Yang. This was an item that could restore the essence of one¡¯s life. Right now, it only existed in the treasure vault of the super-first-class sect. Furthermore, it was heavily guarded. No non-inner disciples were allowed to enter. It was something that was prepared for the lowest combat power of the sect. Even a single drop was extremely precious! Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had a small bottle in his hands. It looked like there were at least four or five drops in it. Could it be that he was the disciple of some ancient monster? ¡®Eh, that¡¯s not right!¡¯ There was clearly no aura from his body. It could only be that he came from a small sect. Or perhaps, Zhang Yang¡¯s strength was extremely strong and he used a professional technique to cover it up. However, in front of someone who was stronger than an innate master, was there such a possibility? This was extremely suspicious. Qiong Qi did not know yet. What it would see next would shock it even more and make it even more suspicious of life. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hmm? ¡°What¡¯s wrong, senior? Do you think that it¡¯s not enough? Is it too little? It doesn¡¯t matter as I still have a lot here.¡± After saying that, Zhang Yang took out another two or three bottles from his storage space and placed them in front of Qiong Qi. Qiong Qi looked as if it had seen a ghost. Its right hand trembled as it raised its hand to indicate that it was unable to say a word. Then, he fainted. Behind him, Hua Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion when she saw Qiong Qi faint after trembling for a while. ¡°Brother Zhang, what exactly is going on? Why is it crying and laughing at the same time? It collapsed like it had a stroke.¡± If Qiong Qi could wake up now, it would definitely use an extremely excited tone to tell Hua Xue that this was too f*cking ridiculous. The Dao spiritual spring water was something that countless people regarded as a treasure. A single drop was enough to cause countless bloody storms in the triads. ¡®Zhang Yang immediately pulled out three to five bottles. My f*cking heart wasn¡¯t feeling well, so I fainted from fright. ¡®Who knew that by merely avoiding my enemy¡¯s pursuit, I encountered such a monstrous existence?¡¯ A moment later, Qiong Qi finally woke up. Then, it solemnly took the spirit spring water that Zhang Yang handed over. After taking it, it bit the tip of its tongue, dripped a drop of its blood essence, and swiftly flew into Zhang Yang¡¯s soul. Hua Xue, who was next to it, looked as if she had been enchanted with a body-immobilizing talisman. She had long been stunned. Was this a soul contract? How could it be! An ancient ferocious beast that had never acknowledged its master before actually acknowledged its master at this moment. This was truly the most bizarre thing in the Eastern continent. After waking up, Qiong Qi, whose physical fitness had improved by quite a bit, did not notice the slight change in Hua Xue¡¯s expression. It looked at Zhang Yang with an incomparably serious expression, feeling that this was its own opportunity and good fortune. No matter what, it had to grab hold of it. It absolutely could not let go, even if it had to sign a soul contract. ¡°Master, you can just call me Xiao Qi from now on. This is my soul contract. ¡°I will sign it with you now and acknowledge you as my master. I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life and will never betray you. ¡°There is a communication channel on this contract. As long as master says it in his heart, I will come instantly.¡± ¡°Ah, this! ¡°There¡¯s such a function?!¡± Although he was not surprised, he smiled and accepted this kind of intention. Hence, the reward after curing Qiong Qi was the soul contract. It was said that the Qiong Qi usually had a few hundred of them and acted at the same time. The senior that was saved seemed to be a leader. In other words, there were hundreds of free goons and underlings. This was indeed a wave of rewards. Stable! Strong! Very comfortable. However, Zhang Yang was still very humble. He did not raise his tail to the sky just because of this little achievement. He did not treat Qiong Qi as his slave, even though it had already acknowledged him as its master. In his heart, he still treated it as an elder. On the other hand, Qiong Qi did not underestimate Zhang Yang just because he was young. Under the friendly attitude of both parties, the conversation was as lively as master and servant. They just left Hua Xue aside and did not ask about it anymore. Then, the two reluctantly said goodbye to each other. ¡°Brother Zhang¡­¡± At this moment, Hua Xue¡¯s expression was even more complicated. In the past few days, all kinds of strange things had continuously happened to Zhang Yang. She seemed to see a peerless monster. ¡°Well, what¡¯s the matter?!¡± Zhang Yang turned his head slightly, feeling a little strange. ¡°Uh, do you feel that your luck is a little strange? ¡°For example, your luck is a little too strong¡­¡± ¡°Ah! ¡°Is it? ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Isn¡¯t this very normal?¡± Zhang Yang looked at Hua Xue, whose lips were twitching crazily. He felt that she was a little weird, so he asked such a strange question. After spending so much time together, the relationship between the two of them had became somewhat close. When Hua Xue heard this, her face stiffened. In the past two days, he had not only taken out two peerless treasures from his inventory but he had also obtained the good impression and friendship of a top-tier big shot. Before she could completely digest the influence, another ancient ferocious beast had appeared. It had even offered up a precious soul contract, worshipping him as its master. This¡­ It was likely that those who were slightly lacking in mental endurance had already collapsed. Even if they did not break down, they were probably thinking about how to kill and steal the treasure. Was Zhang Yang not afraid of danger? A series of extremely precious treasures were brought out so openly. However, Zhang Yang had always been careless and did not notice these details. ¡°Oh! ¡°You¡¯re talking about this. Isn¡¯t this a very common thing? ¡°If you really want to find a reason, then perhaps I was born with good luck.¡± Zhang Yang chuckled. In the past two days, the reason why he had been so ridiculous was because his body refining attribute had reached a point where he was on the verge of a breakthrough. He had not used any other divine abilities, but this one had already benefited him immensely. Then, he used his spiritual sense to scan his gains over the past two days. ¡°You have scanned the soul contract. Bloodline boiling attribute +99.¡± ¡°The bloodline boiling attribute could remove all impurities in the body, allowing one¡¯s cultivation to have a speed akin to flying. ¡°You have scanned a treasure map. Eye of the Celestial Emperor attribute +99.¡± ¡°The Eye of the Celestial Emperor can bestow the host with the wisdom eye that can see through everything. ¡°You have a new understanding. Body strengthening attribute +999.¡± Not only that as there was also a new breakthrough in the other attribute points. ¡®Understanding water control speed one?¡¯ ¡®Understanding Lightning One Finger Zen?¡¯ ¡®Understanding the Peerless Fate Protective Armor?¡¯ When one understood a certain attribute, it would affect other attributes by analogy, forming a powerful system unique to cultivators. However, in the Eastern continent, no one could do it for the time being. Currently, Zhang Yang was the only one. After the cultivation system was opened up, when facing enemies and opponents, he had many more trump cards in his hands, which also gave him more confidence. This was despite his current superficial strength that was at the level of ancient martial arts. However, he did not know exactly how strong he was. On the other hand, with his foundation here, it was impossible for him to become a god in one step and be able to kill the strongest expert in the cultivation world with one sword strike. That was not realistic. The cultivation world¡¯s system was very strict. Every time one wanted to break through a level, there would be an extremely strong barrier. For ordinary cultivators, if one¡¯s strength increased by one level, their strength might not be able to surpass the suppression of the realm for the rest of their lives. Even for those monsters with extraordinary talents, they would need to spend a lot of effort to level up. She could feel Zhang Yang¡¯s aura that was constantly rising. Hua Xue sighed again in her heart, ¡®A humanoid monster!¡¯ ¡­ A few more days passed. Things had finally returned to their original appearance. There was no strange old men looking for them. There was no ancient ferocious beasts waiting by the side to give them a contract. Hua Xue could not help but secretly sigh in relief. ¡°Alright, Brother Hua, the trial is just ahead. Do you want to go in with me, or shall we part ways here?¡± ¡°Thank you for your kindness, brother Zhang. I¡¯m here to settle some private matters near the Heavenly Gate.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll look for you after I¡¯m done. Don¡¯t blame me for being troublesome.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not pass this time.¡± Zhang Yang watched Hua Xue leave. His heart was clear. Now, they were at the trial grounds, at the Devil Spirit Mountain Range. It was filled with dangers and opportunities. At the foot of the mountain, he could feel the incomparably majestic mountain peak. It was like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed, piercing straight into the ground. The clouds were halfway up the mountain, and the clouds lingered around it. It was like a fairyland. It felt small being human at this time. Just as he was about to enter, he was suddenly called out. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hey, brother, are you also here for the trial? ¡°You and I are really fated to arrive at the same time.¡± A fat man walked out from behind Zhang Yang. He was swaying and could not even stand properly. It was really worrying that a gust of wind could blow him down. ¡°Zhao Lin?¡± Zhang Yang turned his head to look at the voice. Hmm? Was this the law enforcement elder of the Heavenly Gate? Why was he here? ¡®Oh, I suddenly remember now that I once saw this in a novel world.¡¯ The elders of the Heavenly Gate loved to engage in fishing and law enforcement. They would often use the excuse of opening the back door and using their connections to lure the disciples in who came to the trial. They would use this as a way to judge their temperament. If someone could not withstand the temptation, they would immediately lose their qualification and be kicked out. It had to be said that this trick was really clever. Unknowingly, he could eliminate many people with weak wills. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be in a hurry to leave. I have an internal channel here. As long as you pay with a supreme-grade spirit stone, you can open the back door and enter without the test. It¡¯s easy and simple. ¡°So, what do you think? Are you tempted? If you are, then hurry up and act now. If you miss this opportunity, the price will probably increase by several folds.¡± Zhao Lin was like an old agent, constantly promoting his own products. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang turned a blind eye to all of this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. One minute passed¡­ two minutes passed¡­ ten minutes passed¡­ Zhao Lin¡¯s saliva had all dried up, but Zhang Yang still did not have the slightest reaction. ¡°Damn it! I don¡¯t believe that a rookie like you won¡¯t fall for it. Watch me use the bewitching technique.¡± After some thought, he began to use martial arts techniques on Zhang Yang. He wanted to see how long Zhang Yang could last. If he passed the test, he could be nurtured as a key seedling. In an instant, the space underwent a huge change. Zhang Yang was in a world filled with temptation. All kinds of beautiful women were moving their enchanting bodies and waving at him. They seemed to be saying, ¡°Hurry up and seize the time to have fun!¡± As long as he pulled some strings and passed the test, he would be able to enjoy it happily. He did not have to work as hard as the others, facing life and death crises all the time. He could get the same treatment, so why not? However, it still had no effect on Zhang Yang. At this moment, he was like an old monk in meditation. He seemed to have seen through everything. Zhao Lin, who was constantly using martial techniques, was as tired as a dog, but he still could not bewitch Zhang Yang. This made his eyes light up, and he could not help but sigh. This was indeed a good seedling. Hmm? What was so dazzling?! F*ck! Was that the Great Elder¡¯s token? How could it be on him now?! In the Heavenly Gate, the Great Elder¡¯s token¡­ Could it be¡­ As if he suddenly thought of something, he stopped the test. His expression became more and more respectful. ¡°Um¡­ brother, I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first¡­ you continue¡­¡± Zhang Yang gradually walked to the deepest part of the Devil Spirit Mountain Range, where extremely powerful beasts roamed. ¡°Wait!¡± Seeing him raise his foot, he immediately spoke out to stop him, but it was already too late. Zhang Yang had just entered the mountain range, and the mountain was filled with all sorts of violent aura of body refinement. Proud, cold, bloodthirsty¡­ None of them made anyone felt comfortable. In the next moment, the aura of body refinement in the mountain range seemed to have found its target as it viciously attacked Zhang Yang. Seeing this, Zhao Lin¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°Be careful!¡± ¡°Brother, quickly take out the first elder¡¯s token¡­¡± However, it was already too late. The Devil Spirit Mountain Range had a special formation array. If it was not for the disciples of the sect, they would have been attacked even if they came here. Zhao Lin did not have time to finish his sentence. The aura of body refinement in the sky gathered into a strong beam and fiercely lashed out at him. As the aura was too overbearing, even the air had a visible fluctuation to it. However, Zhang Yang, who was standing in front of the entrance to the mountain range, was still extremely calm, as if this attack did not exist at all. The next moment, Zhang Yang gently stretched out his hand. There seemed to be energy on his arm, and the bluish-purple lightning fluctuated slightly. ¡°You gained ice lightning body refining. Ice attribute +99, body refining attribute +999. ¡°You will fight against the scorching sun body refinement. Fire attribute +99, body refinement attribute +999. ¡°You will fight against the death body refinement. Eternal life attribute +99, body refinement attribute +999.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Notifications appeared one after another in front of him. The corners of Zhang Yang¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that he had gained a lot from this round. At the same time, in the dark, Zhang Yang could also feel countless pairs of eyes quietly watching him. There might be disciples who were far stronger than Xiantian lords, as well as other strong candidates. In addition, there were also ferocious beasts whose strengths were unknown. It was simply a chaotic battle. However, there was nothing to be afraid of. In terms of combat strength, he might not be a match for them. However, compared to his level of body refining attribute, there should not be many people who were stronger than him. Body tempering attribute¡­ ¡°Ding! ¡°Your body tempering attribute has already reached the maximum level. Do you wish to level up immediately?!¡± ¡°Level up, please!¡± ¡°Level up completed. Body-refining attribute level 7. Host, please continue to work hard!¡± In the next moment, Zhang Yang brought along the berserk lightning body tempering attribute as he walked up the mountain range step by step. His gaze remained as calm as water as he stared ahead. Just like that, he carried the aura of body-refining attribute level 7, one step at a time. He walked toward the peak of Devil Spirit Mountain Range. Unexpectedly, this alarmed countless of mighty figures and fierce beasts in the mountain range. Streams of spiritual energies intertwined in the air. ¡°Eh?¡± When they saw that Zhang Yang was still in the ancient martial arts realm, everyone was stunned. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°Where did this devil come from?¡± The Xiantian realm was basically the entry level of the Heavenly Gate. Even if it was the third level of the transformation realm, there would still be a large number of them. The ninth level of the transformation realm was still something to look forward to. In the end, a little guy from the ancient martial arts realm had the lightning body refining attribute that actually surpassed the transformation realm. Even an old monster who had cultivated for many years could not clearly see the depths of his strength. This¡­ This was f*cking ridiculous. His state of mind also slightly exploded. ¡°Body refining department, where did you find this freak?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t f*cking know either. When did such a freak appear in the body refining department? I¡¯m also very confused.¡± ¡°My god! I just found out. I heard that he¡¯s from a sect from a small place.¡± ¡°F*ck! Such a freak can appear from a small place?¡± ¡°Stop arguing. Don¡¯t you think that this is a gift from heaven to our Heavenly Gate?¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, I¡¯m looking forward to his performance.¡± ¡°Such terrifying talent. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen it. I wonder what kind of achievements he will make in the Eastern continent when he grows up!¡± Compared to the other departments of the Heavenly Gate, the elder in charge of recruiting students in the physical training division had no idea when such a genius had appeared. No one had informed him. He was completely unprepared and caught off guard. His mind was in a daze. In the distance, Sun Zhe, who had already recovered his strength, saw all of this and his mouth twitched crazily. He felt a little regretful, especially since he had lured Zhang Yang here. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Just as they were discussing, Sun Zhe suddenly sent out a spiritual beam. ¡°Alright, brothers, stop making wild guesses. I invited him here and I didn¡¯t expect his body refining attribute to be ridiculously strong.¡± Catching everyone off guard, great elder Sun Zhe had already stood behind everyone and explained. He was very worried that if the disciples of his body refining department really saw his talent, they would lose all their confidence. Now that he was already so terrifying, one could only imagine if he was given a few more years of growth to expand. It was simply unthinkable. Perhaps he was subjected to the incomparably terrifying pressure of the body refining attribute. The ferocious beasts in the mountain seemed to all be fearful. They let out low roars and fled in all directions, startling countless birds. At this moment, the disciples of the Heavenly Gate on Devil Spirit Mountain Range were the same. They felt this incomparable pressure, yet it ignored their realms, making them unable to raise their heads. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°Where did the great elder find this monster?¡± ¡°His realm is just mere ancient martial arts. As an innate expert, I feel like a piece of trash at this moment.¡± ¡°Who says so? Right now, I have an urge to kneel on the ground. If I didn¡¯t use my martial arts to suppress it, I would have made a fool of myself.¡± The hundreds of disciples of the body refining department felt the incomparable pressure, and for a moment, they could not breathe. At that time, Zhang Yang was not feeling too good either. He was fighting against hundreds of people alone, and all kinds of pressure came at him in an overwhelming manner. If it was not for his amazing bones, he would have already vomited blood and fainted. However, he could still withstand this little bit of pressure. It was not a big problem. Looking carefully, Zhang Yang¡¯s forehead was already sweaty. ¡®It is indeed a little strong, but I¡¯m stronger than you.¡¯ Hence, he decided to lay all his cards on the table. An aura of a thunderstorm that came from the nine regions was gradually rising. It was like a big pot cover, enveloping the entire mountain peak. A fist was the sign of purest physical strength. With a swing of a fist, it was as if it could pierce through the entire mountain range. Zhang Yang took a deep breath, clenched his fist, looked at the secret realm of the trial, and walked over step by step. With the appearance of this thunderstorm, the disciples were no longer able to contend it. They took a big step back and spat out blood. Then, they widened their eyes in understanding. This child was too heaven-defying. They could be good friends with him, but they could not be enemies with him. The elders watching on the sides had long been charred on the outside and tender on the inside. At this moment, they were silent¡­ He knew that someone had reacted and said, ¡°Such a genius. I announce that the Thunder Division wants him!¡± Seeing that an old man actually wanted to eat all the food for himself, he really could not bear it. ¡°Old Qian, how dare you? This is obviously a member of my Body Refining Division. He has a p*ssy with your Thunder Division.¡± ¡°Nonsense. Zhang Yang already has a special liking for our Ice Division. Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± ¡°Stop arguing. It wasn¡¯t easy for the Heavenly Gate to attain a monster. He must be the designated successor of our Water Control Division.¡± Then, a fierce argument broke out. A few years later, it was said that on the day of the assessment, a shocking battle broke out in the Devil Spirit Mountain Range. All the elders were involved in it. This caused the triads to continuously speculate. Could it be that the internal conflicts of the Heavenly Gate had reached an irreconcilable stage? They were about to split up. After the news spread, the Western continent and the evil demonic continent were contented. If that was the case, then they would have one less natural competitor. At that time, would it not be beautiful for the two forces to peacefully divide up the different worlds? However, other than the person involved, no one expected to make such a big mistake. In the end, it was the old sect master who made the decision. Zhang Yang was everyone¡¯s wealth. After he came to the sect, he was everyone¡¯s wealth. At the same time, the fierce beasts in the Devil Spirit Mountain Range seemed to feel the suppression of their bloodline. The fierce beasts that normally ate people without spitting out their bones were all so scared that they prostrated on the ground, not daring to move. One of the beast kings even widened his eyes. ¡°Why is master here?!¡± Yes, he was the fierce beast Qiong Qi mentioned earlier. At this moment, it was in the depths of a huge mountain, silently watching everything that had just happened. It was extremely shocked in its heart. How much time had passed? Master had actually broken through again. This was as expected of the chosen one. After that, it secretly made up its mind to quickly raise its strength and follow in its master¡¯s footsteps. However, the other clansmen clearly did not understand why the leader, who had always viewed humans as enemies, had changed his attitude today. It was really strange that he was so friendly to humans now. Looking at the leader¡¯s strange gaze, the other beasts were speechless. Zhang Yang¡¯s talent was really ridiculous. When he grew up in the future, it would be even worse. He was their greatest enemy. How could it be? The leader actually cast them an extremely kind gaze. Could it have already betrayed them?! However, what awaited them was an earth-shattering reply. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the fate and future of our clansmen. ¡°The genius that you saw is my master, and also your master in the future. Remember, don¡¯t neglect him.¡± ¡°Ah! ¡°Leader, how could it be?! ¡°A detestable human riding on our head is absolutely unacceptable.¡± ¡°You are no longer worthy to be the master of our noble ancient vicious beast. Please leave immediately, otherwise, the other clansmen and I will not be polite to you!¡± Suddenly, a yellow-haired Qiong Qi launched a verbal attack at the white-haired Qiong Qi. That single word of disagreement had the intention of starting a war. The white-haired Qiong Qi indifferently looked at the other clansmen and spoke, ¡°Anyone else who is dissatisfied with me can leave. l can go and look for them one by one.¡± Then, one¡­ two¡­ three¡­ ¡­ Five Qiong Qis jumped out. ¡°Very good. All of you can die immediately then.¡± Thus, a blazing flame spurted out of its mouth. In a trance, the opponents turned into a puff of gray smoke and dispersed with the wind. ¡°Who else wants to die?¡± The other Qiong Qis who were being stared at lowered their heads, not daring to meet its gaze. ¡°Alright, since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s analyze it together. ¡°Based on your experience, have you ever seen a demon more powerful than Zhang Yang?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Then, do you still know that he has spiritual spring water on him?¡± ¡°Also, it has only been a few days, and he has broken through again. In the future, can¡¯t he lead our clansmen to develop and grow stronger? ¡°When the time comes, those despicable sabre-toothed tigers that have occupied our territory will be killed one by one. Won¡¯t that be enough?!¡± At this moment, all the clansmen came to a sudden realization. Countless people believed that they would have a bright future. ¡­ In a remote place in the Devil Spirit Mountain Range. A transmigrator who had arrived here not long ago suddenly had a golden light in his eyes. ¡°Did I just transmigrate?¡± ¡°Ding! The talent duplication system is activated. ¡°Activation successful. A genius from the Eastern continent has been discovered. Do you wish to copy his talent immediately? ¡°Host, you can freely choose to copy his talent based on the size of the glow in the system test.¡± ¡°Oh, is there such a good thing?!¡± When he opened the test option and scanned Zhang Yang, he suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. ¡°Damn! He¡¯s so damn bright! My eyes!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Lightning attribute has reached max level. You have obtained an ultimate martial arts skill, Lightning One Finger Zen. ¡°Water control attribute has reached max level. You have obtained an ultimate martial arts skill, East Sea Tornado. ¡°Charm attribute has reached max level. You have obtained an ultimate martial arts skill, Charm Life.¡± Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and noticed the notifications. He was deep in thoughts. Lightning One Finger Zen, East Sea Tornado and Charm Life were a great burst of attributes that he had accumulated in the past. This time, it was very interesting. There were a few martial arts skills that seemed to be related to some elements out of the five elements. Would it be a surprise if he gathered all of them?! What kind of surprise was it? Zhang Yang did not continue to think about it. At this moment, today was another day of harvest. It would be wonderful to have a few more days like this. Even if he did not, it would not affect his mood much. His state of mind had been tempered to the point where it was tough enough. It was not like that. He was like a small person, excited to receive a little reward. If that was really the case, would he not be a waste?! Moreover, even though he did not gain something every day during those days, under the continuous rewards from the system, he had obtained many good things. Each attribute point added was more than 999 points. Furthermore, each attribute corresponding to a martial arts skill, was truly a huge gift. Right now, Zhang Yang was combining his own martial arts skill cultivation method to construct his own cultivation method. One had to know that there were not many people in the foreign world who could create their own martial arts. In the foreign world, one could only cultivate the martial arts left behind by the ancient experts, but this was also something that could not be easily done. The spiritual energy had decreased, and cultivation had become extremely difficult. Looking at the development of the three great continents, no one could do it. If someone nearby heard it, they would definitely scoff. It was surely wishful thinking, dreaming of it day and night. That was because they did not know how heaven-defying and overbearing Zhang Yang¡¯s golden finger was. At the same time, a notification appeared in front of Zhang Yang. ¡°You began to try and create your own cultivation method. Comprehension +999.¡± After reading the notification, Zhang Yang was slightly stunned. He did not expect the reward to come so quickly. This already confirmed that the previous idea was indeed feasible. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yang felt waves of excitement in his heart. He might be able to open up a path that no one had ever walked before and he would become the pioneer. He would be written into history. ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡± Grand Elder Sun Zhe, who had been standing not far in front of Zhang Yang, had been waiting for a long time. He coughed lightly when he saw Zhang Yang go up the mountain. He woke up the young man who was deep in thoughts. As he was deep in thoughts, Zhang Yang did not notice that a person had appeared in front of him. It was not until he heard the cough that he realized it was an old man. However, he looked familiar. Hmm? It was him! His identity card seemed to indicate that he had an extremely high status in the Heavenly Gate sect. ¡°Eh, Senior Sun, long time no see!¡± ¡°No, I should call you First Elder Sun now.¡± Zhang Yang came back to his senses and said with a smile. ¡°Hehe, little friend, your disturbance is really big. I heard it from far away.¡± The talent that you showed was probably targeted by many people. This time, countless cultivators probably knew that a peerless genius had come to the Heavenly Gate. ¡°How about coming to my sect? I¡¯ll give you the highest treatment.¡± Zhang Yang rolled his eyes in his heart. This old man was really unwilling to give up and kept trying to trick him. He never had the habit of living and cultivating under someone else¡¯s sect. This time, he had come to the Heavenly Gate to look for other transmigrators. He did not have any intention of becoming a disciple. Many people were probably thinking too much. However, he was still a newcomer. He had to be humble here, and he had to keep a low profile. Therefore, he calmed his tone and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. ¡°Elder Sun, I¡¯m new here. If I don¡¯t establish some prestige for myself, I think I¡¯ll have a hard time in the sect in the future. ¡°Even with your guarantee, it¡¯s the same. Why don¡¯t we solve the problem once and for all and stop all these discussions? That way, it¡¯ll be much quieter.¡± Zhang Yang shook his head lightly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter. He did not think that the commotion he just caused would be very big. ¡°You and I can be considered to be fated to meet. Moreover, you once saved my life. I don¡¯t dare to forget this kindness. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll be dragged down by others.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to say now. You are the most respected person in the entire Body Refining Division. Your status is higher than mine. ¡°All the disciples in the division listen to your orders. ¡°As for what I said just now, you coming to my sect was just a joke. Don¡¯t take it seriously.¡± As Sun Zhe finished speaking, his expression became more and more strange. At this moment, he did not dare to imagine how Zhang Yang, who was only 18 years old, would grow up in three to five years as long as nothing unexpected happened in the future. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough. Now that you¡¯ve said so much, how far have you cultivated your body refining attribute? Can you let me take a look?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. ¡°If I have to use it here, I¡¯m afraid that it will cause some heaven and earth phenomena. ¡°If I destroy the Devil Spirit Mountain¡¯s sect spell formation, the sect leader will find me to apologize.¡± Sun Zhe had a beard. When he heard this, his wrist shook violently. He felt extremely regretful. Why did he ask him such a question? ¡®Wasn¡¯t this the same as sending you over to be beaten by him?! ¡®Also, what is with the aura that rises up from your body again! ¡®Was he going to break through again? ¡®Also, how could he break through four or five attributes at the same time amongst the aura of these other breakthroughs? What kind of monster are you?¡¯ It was indeed ridiculous! If it was not for the fact that Zhang Yang was indeed human, Sun Zhe would have tied him up and sliced him up to study him. Then, the two discussed the topic of cultivation. However, Zhang Yang was mostly talking while Sun Zhe was listening attentively. He kept nodding his head in agreement. His face was full of complicated emotions such as realization and extreme surprise. Sun Zhe was also considered a genius with a good reputation back then. However, in front of a monster like Zhang Yang, he felt like a piece of sh*t. He was really trash and did not understand anything at all. He could only nod his head continuously as there was no other way. He really did not understand. Moreover, Zhang Yang¡¯s words really made sense. The two of them were still chatting happily when they realized that the sky was gradually turning dark. It was time for them to rest again. They had no choice but to part ways. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s call it a day. Qing Yuan, come over and arrange accommodation. The main courtyard that the Body Refining Division has vacated is very nice. Ask the lower level disciples to clean it up meticulously.¡± Sun Zhe looked at the sky and instructed his loyal disciples. As the disciples of the Great Elder, he was naturally not an ordinary person. His strength was also very strong. However, even he who had always been very arrogant, could not help but admire him at this moment. Compared to this awesome man in front of him, he was nothing. He could not be compared to him at all. He was not the least dissatisfied with such a high-standard arrangement. On the contrary, he felt that it was very appropriate. He even felt that he should arrange a better place for him to stay. ¡­ On the top of Devil Spirit Mountain, the transmigrator who had just been blinded by the light finally discovered Zhang Yang¡¯s location. Enduring the piercing pain in his eyes, he dashed toward Zhang Yang. A wave of top-notch opportunities must be harvested! Right, he should disguise himself as a peerless expert and go trick this wave. The natives of this strange world had never seen this world before. Hence, the success rate was even higher! As a transmigrator, as long as he made a move, there was nothing that could not be accomplished. This wave was stable. ¡®Hahaha, evildoer, here I come.¡¯ Li Yuming, in the heart of incomparable excitement, could not help but quicken the pace. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Yang became interested in the heavenly faction. First, he met several transmigrators on the way here, hence he did not know how strong the heavenly faction was. Then, there was the system. Without the newbie gift pack, his improvement speed would be much slower. After all, it was easy to get used to it because it was too simple to understand. Just as they entered the inner courtyard, a young man in front of them wielding an iron sword blocked their path. ¡°You guys are too much! The sect master will teach you guys a lesson one day!¡± He was only a low-level cultivator in the sect. The others were at least two levels higher than him. However, this was not real as he was actually a transmigrator. Right now, he was surrounded by several high-level senior brothers. If it was just one or two people, he was confident that he could deal with them. However, there were more than 20 of them! Not to mention, he was just a low-level cultivator that even high-level cultivators had to kneel down to. ¡°Kid, we were sent by second senior martial arts brother. You should know who second senior martial arts brother is, right?¡± A muscular leader walked out with a weapon on his shoulder. ¡°Pui! Isn¡¯t it just an evil dragon? Come and kill me if you have the ability!¡± The young man did not seem to be afraid of the so-called second senior brother, but his trembling legs betrayed him. ¡°Kill you? Sorry, second senior brother does not wish to kill you. You should thank him. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for second senior brother giving us an order, we would only be teaching the arrogant you a lesson!¡± The leader¡¯s gaze was unfriendly as he looked around behind the young man. Behind him, Zhang Yang voiced out, ¡°Second senior brother? Is he that arrogant?¡± Zhang Yang frowned slightly. He did not expect the people here to be so valiant. This place was not too far from the sect leader¡¯s mountain peak, which meant that the second senior brother here should be the sect leader¡¯s disciple. Otherwise, the sect leader would not have allowed such a group of people to act arrogantly here especially in front of him. ¡°Don¡¯t struggle fearlessly, kid. Kneel down and apologize to second senior brother.¡± The tone of the leader¡¯s voice was a little impatient. According to the personality of this kind of person who relied on his power to bully others, he would not spill much nonsense. This time, second senior brother needed this young kid who dared to contradict him to kneel down and apologize to him. He did not want to see blood. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± The young man held his weapon tightly. He knew that this time, it would not be an easy death. ¡°Hu Tao, apologize. At least you won¡¯t have to suffer physical pain.¡± A man walked out and tried to persuade her. ¡°No! Li Hua, I said I won¡¯t bow down to him!¡± Hu Tao clenched her teeth. Why! Why did she have to lose her dignity. Behind her, another voice was heard once again, ¡°I remember, brother. Father once said that there was a cousin of ours in the heavenly faction named Zhang Yue. ¡°He is a young man with a high position in the heavenly faction. This can¡¯t be this second brother, right?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er came to Zhang Yang¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Zhang Yue?¡± Zhang Yang was puzzled at first, then he also remembered this matter. His father had indeed mentioned Zhang Yue¡¯s name, but that was only when they were chatting. After all, from his father¡¯s tone, it could be seen that Zhang Yue was just an ordinary cultivator and did not receive much attention from him. ¡°Well, in name, he is still our older brother. Why don¡¯t we leave, older brother?¡± Zhang Yue¡¯er was a little afraid that this older cousin might bring harm to them, and his strength might be much stronger than theirs. ¡°Leave?¡± Zhang Yang did not really want to leave, because he had his eyes on a person below. That person was the girl below, Hu Tao! [Name: Hu Tao] [Creature: Human (reincarnation of Goddess of Luck] [Attack: 1] [Defense: 1] [Speed: 1] [Vitality: 2] [Item: None] [Magic: None ] [Talent: Lucky Lamb (god-level) danger perception (god-level)] [Ability: None] [Evaluation: Nothing but the reincarnation of a god.] ¡°The reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck.¡± Zhang Yang could not help but exclaim. The sheep of fortune could prevent the talent holder from dying from any accidents. If the other party killed them, they would be saved by an expert. The talent holder would definitely not die unless the other party was in danger, and possessed by the strength of an ancient god. Their danger perception was also very sensitive, allowing them to know the source of all attacks within a certain range. According to legends, the Goddess of Luck¡¯s perception ability could foresee the situation in every multiverse. Every ability could not be used without the Goddess of Luck¡¯s perception. This was simply a bug-level talent. It did not sound very strong, but if the opponent wanted to use an attack during a battle, one would be able to foresee and counter it before the attack was launched. Zhang Yang decided to go down and make contact with him. No one should know. ¡°How dare you¡­¡± At this moment, a voice came from the side. The person emitted a terrifying aura. This terrifying aura caused all the disciples below to kneel on the ground. ¡°Senior brother Zhang Yue! Please forgive our actions!¡± The leader brought his subordinates and knelt on the ground without moving, afraid that Zhang Yue would kill and eat them all if he was unhappy. Now, the leader was extremely regretful. Zhang Yue must be angry because he did not teach this little brat a lesson. That was why he personally came here, wanting to punish them for their sins. The others who heard the commotion all raised their heads. They had discovered something! That so-called second senior brother¡¯s imposing manner was terrifying. Beside him were two similarly imposing subordinates. Behind him, Zhang Yue ignored the group of fearful disciples and the others who were scared out of their wits. At this moment, he was looking at the crimson jade pendant around Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s neck. It was the symbol of their family! As the oldest son of the family, Zhang Yue would never forget it. It was precisely because of the aura that this crimson jade pendant emitted that attracted Zhang Yue over. ¡°I heard that a new powerhouse has appeared in the family. I think it should be you.¡± Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Xue¡¯er up and down with interest. He did not have much of an opinion about the appearance of the new powerhouse in the family. Everyone¡¯s personality was different. Although most of the supporting characters were normally chaotic and evil people, Zhang Yue on the other hand was an anomaly as his personality was more like that of a prodigal son. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You¡­ hello¡­ brother Zhang Yue.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er greeted him symbolically, but regretted her words as soon as she said it. A person who was that arrogant in a large sect was so angry that even Zhang Yang could not protect her. ¡°And you are Zhang Yang, right? Mother¡¯s hope is always on her lips.¡± Zhang Yue turned his head and looked at Zhang Yang. He looked really good and very strong. He closed his eyes slightly and said admiringly, ¡°You are indeed the genius mentioned by our mother.¡± Zhang Yue envied Zhang Yang that his family cared so much about him. Zhang Yang was unlike him where he only lived in the small Heavenly Gate sect and could only command such petty people who bullied others. ¡°Brother, I took the liberty to enter your territory.¡± Zhang Yang secretly opened his data table while Zhang Yue was talking. He found that although Zhang Yue was a relatively ordinary cultivator, he was still a person who had cultivated for more than ten years. His data exceeded his by hundreds in all aspects. After confirming the look in his eyes, he found that he was someone that he could not defeat for the time being. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t care about this. It¡¯s such a big piece of territory anyway.¡± Zhang Yue opened his claws and pointed at the boundary that could be seen. He had been in the heavenly faction for dozens of years and had made a lot of contributions to the sect. Therefore, the sect had specially approved a relatively desolate immortal mountain as his territory. He had also become an honorary elder. If he could, he did not want to live in such a boring heavenly faction. However, his talent was destined to be mediocre. Perhaps he would have to cultivate for hundreds of years before he had the capital to establish his own sect. Zhang Xue¡¯er blinked and said enviously, ¡°No, brother Zhang Yue. I¡¯m so envious that you have this piece of land.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s words came from her heart. If it was possible, she also wanted this small piece of land to slowly develop. ¡°Come on. No one will like this place, including myself.¡± Zhang Yue rolled his eyes speechlessly. As the owner, he did not like this place, let alone others. ¡°By the way, what are you guys here for?¡± Zhang Yue asked curiously. In a place like this, no one would want to snatch this place, right? Even if they wanted to snatch it, at a glance, Zhang Yang and Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s strength would not be able to defeat his. ¡°Actually, we were going to the main peak training grounds, and we passed by here on the way,¡± Zhang Yang explained. ¡°Main peak training ground?! Oh my god, my dear brothers and sisters, why are you guys going there, hahaha!¡± Zhang Yue opened his big mouth and laughed at the sky, as if he was listening to the funniest joke in the world. ¡°Eh¡­ brother Zhang Yue, what are you laughing at?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was a little confused. Was the main peak training ground that funny? ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s the grave of cultivators below the intermediate level. With such small arms and legs, going there is simply courting death. ¡°Which idiot told you to go to the main peak training ground? You should know that even I don¡¯t dare to go there, haha.¡± Zhang Yue was laughing at the ignorance of Zhang Yang and the others. Zhang Yang said coldly, ¡°Li Zhe.¡± ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± Zhang Yue hurriedly stopped laughing and coughed. He said in disbelief, ¡°Did he really ask you to go there?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yang nodded. Gulp¡­ gulp¡­ Zhang Yue swallowed his saliva. Fortunately, Zhang Zhe did not know about the laughter just now. Otherwise, he would definitely skin him alive. ¡°Since it¡¯s him, then I have nothing to say. I wish you guys all the best in surviving.¡± Zhang Yue did not continue chatting with Zhang Yang as he was now going to enjoy dinner. ¡°Wait for me, brother!¡± Zhang Yang called out to Zhang Yue. Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s face was full of confusion. Why was her brother calling out to Zhang Yue at this time? ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhang Yue stopped mid-air and turned his head to ask, a little puzzled, ¡°Actually, brother, I just wanted to tell you to not make things difficult for the boy called Hu Tao.¡± Zhang Yang went straight to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue¡¯s gaze became unfriendly. He said, ¡°Brother, you should know the price of snatching food from the giant dragon¡¯s mouth.¡± ¡°Of course I know, but¡­ I have a way. You have to let him go,¡± Zhang Yang said confidently. After hearing this, Zhang Yue almost laughed out of anger. ¡°Oh, really? Then let me try.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes widened. Did her brother have a trump card that he did not show? Just as everyone was watching, Zhang Yue spoke. ¡°Hmph! If you don¡¯t let him off, I will tell him what you said to elder Li Zhe today!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was speechless. Zhang Yue screamed internally, ¡®You! You¡­¡¯ Zhang Yue¡¯s eyes widened, but he did not know what to say. It seemed like he was used by the other party. ¡®As expected of my brother.¡¯ Zhang Xue¡¯er was speechless in her heart. ¡°How about this? Let Sun Tao go, and I won¡¯t tell elder Li Zhe about this matter.¡± Zhang Yang had grasped Zhang Yue¡¯s personality and temper. Zhang Yue was so angry that he almost exploded. He did not expect his younger brother to be that despicable! Zhang Yue, who was about to compromise, suddenly thought that elder Li Zhe had gone to take revenge. Even if Zhang Yang wanted to complain, he had no way of passing the news to elder Li Zhe. Zhang Yue raised his head and said confidently, ¡°Zhang Yang, elder Li Zhe is out right now. It seems like he can¡¯t hear your voice. Also, what makes you think that he will believe this newcomer?¡± He was almost done for by this kid. ¡°Really? But do you know that I saved him? In a sense, I am his benefactor.¡± ¡°He will believe me as long as I say it casually.¡± ¡°At that time, with Grand Elder Sun Zhe¡¯s character of always repaying kindness and taking revenge, it would only take a breath for him to come here to look for you.¡± Zhang Yue chuckled. Fortunately, him and Zhang Zhe still had this friendship. ¡°Ah?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s head was a little muddled. Was this how a life-saving grace was used? ¡°You are really too despicable, Zhang Yang!¡± Zhang Yue was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks. How could Grand Elder Sun Zhe have such a cheap life-saving benefactor? Although understandably he did not discriminate against the weak. However, they were clearly not strong. Even if they had outstanding talent, they were destined to be inferior amongst the strong. Still, he did not expect them to actually save the powerful Grand Elder Sun Zhe. After a while, Zhang Yue was like a deflated balloon. He said, ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll let him go.¡± ¡°Thank you, brother.¡± Zhang Yang especially emphasized the word ¡®brother¡¯. Zhang Yue said in annoyance, ¡°Get lost quickly. I won¡¯t forgive the rest easily!¡± These new disciples were very precious free labor for Zhang Yue. Now, because of Zhang Yang¡¯s threat, they were easily forgiven. The prestige that they had painstakingly built up was easily shattered. Zhang Yue¡¯s heart was bleeding. He was so poor that he could not even open the pot. This younger brother of his did not even let his older brother off the hook. Looking at the two brothers who were playing around, the corner of Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s mouth twitched. Brother Zhang Yang was too evil. Brother Zhang Yue¡¯s brain was not quite right. His strength was obvious, yet he still had to compromise with Zhang Yang. ¡®You know very well that Grand Elder Li Zhe will definitely not trouble Zhang Xue for such trivial matters.¡¯ Chapter 21 Bang!!! Just as Zhang Xue¡¯er was still distracted, Zhang Yang had already landed on the ground forcefully. Thick dust rose up at this moment, enveloping the entire square. The surrounding trees swayed left to right by this sudden hurricane, and leaves were scattered and blown into the air. When the dust settled, what appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes was a shockingly majestic red-clothed man. Although he had become much stronger, he had used too much force when he landed and could not control his strength. Hence, the powerful wind draft spread out like a dark tide. All the low-level disciples felt as if they were surrounded by the deep sea. The pressure made everyone unable to breathe and fell to the ground. ¡°Where did this expert come from?!¡± The leader was trembling as he thought, ¡®The master of this mountain was clearly above his head.¡¯ ¡°Why is second brother still watching this man in red acting arrogantly in his territory?¡± The man in red had just entered the initial stage of cultivation, while second brother had entered the final stage many years ago. It was obvious that second brother was definitely stronger than this man in red. However, why would he let him act arrogantly and even land in this manner? ¡°According to the rules of the heavenly faction, you can pass through my territory. If we were old acquaintances, you could even sit down. ¡°However, if you did anything in my territory, it means that you want to challenge me, the master!¡± At this moment, the underlings hoped that their boss could uphold justice for them. However, Li Yue, who was on top of them, was unmoved, not to mention those underlings. The new disciples were even more desperate now. Initially, these underlings had already made it difficult for them to escape. Now that another strong person had come, would it not be a disaster?! ¡°My name is Zhang Yang. I am the brother of your second senior brother. Now that he has agreed, I want to choose one person to take away.¡± Zhang Yang did not say much because not everyone was worthy of knowing his strength. ¡°Take someone away?!¡± The leader was even more surprised when he heard this. This was their mountain¡¯s important free labor. How could their second senior brother be willing to give it up? However, when he raised his head and saw that their second senior brother did not make any movements, the leader knew that what Zhang Yang said was true. ¡°Of course! As a powerful senior brother, your thoughts are our second senior brother¡¯s orders.¡± The small leader did not dare to have any objections. Did he not see that his boss kept quiet? Hence, what did these cannon fodders dare to say? Zhang Yang was very satisfied with the attitude of this small heavenly sect leader. Then, he turned around and looked at the new disciples behind him. They were already panicking. A few of them were scared out of their wits by the wind gust when Zhang Yang landed. Looking at this group of new disciples, Zhang Yang¡¯s first thought was of Xianxia novels. At this moment, this group of new disciples was dressed in a certain style, and their hair was mainly black. The Hu Tao that he wanted had aqua blue hair, perhaps due to the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. However, when he saw this aqua blue color, a hint of disgust flashed across Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes. This was his instinctive reaction as he hated water! He hated everything that had to do with water, especially the color blue. ¡°You, come with me.¡± Zhang Yang pointed at Hu Tao with his finger. When Hu Tao saw that the mysterious master¡¯s target was her, her legs went limp on the ground. She looked up at Zhang Yang with lifeless eyes. However, there was also a hint of unyielding. In her opinion, Hu Tao had an inkling that she would definitely become the master¡¯s plaything. He, no, it should be her. She was a girl who had disguised herself as a man and entered the heavenly faction in order to make her parents proud. Seeing that she wanted to resist Zhang Yang, he frowned slightly. His aura on his body increased a little on Hu Tao¡¯s body. ¡°Ah!¡± Clang! The weapon left Hu Tao¡¯s hand, and her entire body was pressed to the ground, unable to move. Her skin was slowly being torn apart. What did it matter if Zhang Yang was an ordinary person in his previous life? He was now a serious cultivator. To oppose his opinion in front of a powerful cultivator was no different than courting death! Most importantly, Zhang Yang had also seen that Hu Tao was just an ordinary person. Her talent was only at the mortal level. In the eyes of ordinary people, she might be a little genius, but in Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes, she was nothing. The other people who were not unconscious all closed their eyes. There was nothing they could do. ¡°Is being weak a sin¡­¡± After Hu Tao said the last sentence, she fell into a coma. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhang Yang, who had keen hearing, naturally heard Hu Tao¡¯s whisper. ¡°I said I wanted to take her away and I want to someone stop me.¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s bright eyes stared at the others. This was the second time Zhang Yang had said it. If there were any objections from the crowd, then do not blame him for being rude. It just so happened that Zhang Yang also wanted to see how freakish this Lucky Lamb¡¯s talent was. ¡°Yes¡­ yes, sir.¡± The other disciples were already trembling ¡°Can you hurry up, Zhang Yang?¡± Zhang Yue, who was behind him, could not bear to watch any longer. This action scene was too slow. If it was him, he would have already taken the person away with a scream. Why waste her breath? Zhang Yang rolled his eyes at Zhang Yue when he heard that. She was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. Who knew what would happen if he suddenly made a move? He had to take it slowly to highlight his different personality. The impatience at the end was also for the Goddess of Luck. Hu Tao was only 1.5 meters tall. She looked too petite beside Zhang Yang who was 1.8 meters tall. Hence, he casually picked up the unconscious Hu Tao. ¡°Xue¡¯er!¡± Zhang Yang raised his head and called out to his sister. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, brother?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er flew down from behind and stood beside Zhang Yang. ¡°You take care of this little girl.¡± Zhang Yang handed the task of picking up the little girl to Zhang Xue¡¯er as he was the Child of Fate. Hence, how could he casually pick up a little girl? He had long known Hu Tao¡¯s gender through the system. After all, men and women were not allowed to be intimate. ¡°Me?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er looked at the unconscious Hu Tao with a face full of disgust. This seemed to be a man. She was a woman, and she had made up her mind to become her brother¡¯s woman. Hence, she was not willing to let another man have physical contact with her. At this moment, the little jade figurine in her body spoke, ¡°This is also a woman. Your brother doesn¡¯t seem to want to have too much contact with her. It seems that you have a chance.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s heart warmed up when she heard that. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You are the future number one warrior of our family. What is the duty of a warrior? To obey orders!¡± Zhang Yang began to brainwash Zhang Xue¡¯er. ¡°Alright then¡­¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er pretended to be unhappy and lowered her body. Since this was what her brother wanted her to do, then she definitely had to obey. However, she still wanted to comfort him. At this time, Hu Tao woke up. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me. I¡¯ll leave on my own.¡± Although she was arrogant, she had no strength to resist and could only yield. Their progress was already relatively slow. In the end, there was still Hu Tao who was on foot. In a few days, they would not be able to reach the trial valley of the main peak. ¡°I told you to follow me and you left! Where did all this nonsense come from?!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er seemed to have been provoked by Hu Tao¡¯s words. She did not even dislike her, yet she still rejected her. Was it not obvious that she despised her? A little angry, Zhang Xue¡¯er grabbed Hu Tao and placed her under her armpit. ¡°Get ready!¡± Chapter 22 Boom! A breeze whistled past, and Zhang Xue¡¯er brought Hu Tao up into the sky. ¡°Ah!¡± Hu Tao felt the strong wind blowing on her face, and she grabbed onto Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s waist and cried out. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like there is the consciousness of the Goddess of Luck in her.¡± Zhang Yang observed Hu Tao¡¯s performance. She was a completely ordinary little girl, not at all god-like. Unless she was hiding in the deep, the Goddess of Luck¡¯s consciousness was not in Hu Tao¡¯s body. It could be said that Hu Tao was an individual, but she did not know what the Goddess of Luck had transformed into. ¡°Brother, hurry up!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er shouted from the horizon. ¡°Okay!¡± Zhang Yang flew into the air, turned to Zhang Yue and said, ¡°Thank you, for your gift, brother Zhang Yue. We¡¯ll meet again next time!¡± After saying that, Zhang Yang spread his light wings and chased after Zhang Xue¡¯er. Zhang Yue thought to himself, ¡®I hope we¡¯ll never meet again!¡¯ On the other side, it had to be said that this mountain was indeed desolate and really small. Zhang Yang and Zhang Xue¡¯er only flew for half a day before they left the mountain. ¡°Actually, I think brother Zhang Yue is quite a pitiful individual.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er looked down at the entire spiritual mountain from high up in the sky. She was willing to call Zhang Yue the most pitiful employee. ¡°Him? What¡¯s so pitiful about him? He doesn¡¯t have the heart to take risks at all.¡± Zhang Yang did not think much about it. What did it matter if Zhang Yue¡¯s talent was mediocre? Zhang Yue himself had lost the original temper of his family. The current Zhang Yue was more like a dumb, useless fool in his previous life. He could make do with one day as long as she could. The difference was that Zhang Yue was a cultivator. As he grew older, his strength would gradually increase. While the two of them were chatting, Hu Tao was curled up under Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s armpit and was almost scared to death. It was not only these two monsters that made her afraid. Most importantly, she was afraid of heights! However, Hu Tao did not dare to say anything in front of these two monsters. She could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart and close her eyes. She kept telling herself that she was on land¡­ on land. Unfortunately, the strong wind blowing into her face woke her up again, telling her that this was not a dream! While chatting with Zhang Xue¡¯er, Zhang Yang did not forget to look at Hu Tao. Strange, why was this girl trembling all over? Could it be that it was too cold? Zhang Yang did not think in the direction of being afraid of heights. In his opinion, the people on this continent should not be afraid of heights. After all, there were magic beasts that could fly everywhere. Even cultivators could fly after learning the air-control technique, so naturally, there were no people who were afraid of heights. After flying out of this mountain, there were undulating mountains in front of them. Zhang Xue¡¯er approached Zhang Yang and said, ¡°This is the Jeroka Mountain Range, brother.¡± The Jeroka Mountain Range was still the territory of the heavenly faction, but it was more like a suburban territory. No one had stretched their hands to this place, because it was a little far from the center of the Fire Guild, and it was very troublesome to go back and forth. Li Yang nodded and replied, ¡°Yes.¡± The Jeroka Mountain Range was very rich in species. There were familiar gnolls and stone men here, as well as rare mountain giants. These magical beasts were one of the most favorite experience packs for new cultivators. However, it was a miracle that no cultivators came here. ¡°Brother, why don¡¯t we train here?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er had an idea for the Jeroka Mountain Range. This was a natural castle. The mountains on both sides were like a hundred-meter-high city wall, easy to defend but hard to attack. In addition to the rich species resources, the experience packs would definitely be countless. ¡°No, since elder Li Zhe asked us to go to the main peak to take a look, then we¡¯ll go there to take a look first.¡± Zhang Yang shook his head. There must be something on the main peak that Li Zhe wanted to specially tell him. Otherwise, why would Li Zhe not tell him that there was another good place like the Jeroka Mountain Range? Not to mention, Li Zhe was stingy and unwilling to tell him as he was an elder. Perhaps to others, this was a rare and good place. However, to an elder like him who had many territories, that was still too unqualified. ¡°Alright, then¡­¡± Xue¡¯er sighed. This place was so good. The most important thing was the lush forest below. As a girl, she really liked this environment. Although she had never been to the main peak, from the name, she knew that it was a forest of buildings. She liked to live in high-rise buildings, such as mountains that were isolated from the world, or surrounded by clouds and mist. However, because of her special plug-in, even if she lived in other places, she would be fine. The two of them flew over the top of the Jeroka Mountains, naturally attracting the attention of some powerhouses. A giant the size of a mountain opened its yellow eyes. Seeing that the two human powerhouses were just passing by, it closed its eyes again. Such a situation was happening in every race. Countless magical beasts heaved a deep sigh of relief. High in the sky, Zhang Xue¡¯er rubbed her shriveled stomach. ¡°Big brother, I¡¯m hungry.¡± They had not even eaten breakfast yet. Only Zhang Yang himself did not eat much last night. They had just reached their accommodation when elder Li Zhe sent them on their way to the main peak. Hence, they did not even have time to eat. ¡°Hungry? It just so happens that I¡¯m hungry too.¡± With his powerful strength, he actually needed more food to replenish himself. He had not reached the point yet where he could use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as his food. Therefore, food was still very important. Moreover, they had flown for more than half a day. It was time to have a rich dinner. Hu Tao, who was under Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s armpits, subconsciously tightened her legs. When she heard that they were hungry, she almost fainted from fright. Only after listening to their discussion did she realize that she was not the one who wanted to eat. ¡°Let¡¯s go down.¡± Zhang Yang looked down at the Jeroka Mountain Range below. It was so close to a natural buffet. Of course, they could go and take a dip. ¡°Okay, brother.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er followed Zhang Yang all the way down, spreading her wings and gliding down. Below them, just as they were about to land on the ground, Zhang Yang changed his direction and stopped. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, brother?¡± Xue¡¯er looked around vigilantly. In order to not be discovered, they specially chose a secret place to land. The trees in the Jeroka Mountain Range were completely different from the trees in her previous life. She did not know if it was due to the large size of the magical beasts. The trees here usually started at twenty meters, and giant trees that were a hundred meters tall could be seen frequently. Hence, even if they were actually very powerful, as long as they descended, they could still perfectly hide themselves. Now that Zhang Yang suddenly stopped, it made Zhang Xue¡¯er think that there was a dangerous magical beast nearby. ¡°You take Hu Tao down,¡± Zhang Yang said. Chapter 23 ¡°What? I¡¯ll take Hu Tao down? What about you, brother?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was a little confused about what her brother was going to do and why he wanted her to do it. ¡°My goal is too big. Plus, I¡¯m a mid-level cultivator. Even if I hide my strength, it¡¯ll be like a fire in the night. ¡°There¡¯s nowhere to hide. You¡¯re smaller, and with Hu Tao, a cultivator with no fighting power, you can use her as bait. ¡°We can lure out some big guys, and then we can have a good meal.¡± Zhang Yang turned his head and explained it to Zhang Xue¡¯er. His figure and the light of destiny that was released were too conspicuous, especially the aura of destiny that was emitted from his body was too strong. Before the magical beasts got close, they would smell his fatal scent and hide. Secondly, some small things that could not hide from Zhang Yang¡¯s search were not enough for him to eat. Therefore, Zhang Yang decided to use Zhang Xue¡¯er and Hu Tao as bait to see if the child could fish out a big guy. ¡°I understand, brother.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er brought Hu Tao and landed at the bottom. As her brother said, she just had to do as he said. Bang! Following Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s deliberate landing, it stirred up quite a bit of dust. ¡°Go down.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er did not hold back and threw Hu Tao off her body. ¡°Ah!¡± Hu Tao¡¯s tender buttocks fell onto the hard ground, and she subconsciously cried out in pain. A few tears appeared at the corners of her eyes, making her look delicate and pitiful. Zhang Xue¡¯er said disdainfully to Hu Tao¡¯s actions,¡±Cowardly human. This little bit of pain is enough for you to shed tears.¡± After hearing this, Hu Tao silently wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, and said softly, ¡°Sir, what are we going to do next?¡± Having witnessed their powerful strength, the softness in Hu Tao¡¯s heart was also revealed. Hu Tao was a little puzzled. Where did that man go just now? Did he not come to hunt together? The conversation between Zhang Yang and Zhang Xue¡¯er just now was an exchange of spirit energy. With Hu Tao¡¯s current level, he did not know what Zhang Yang and the others were talking about. ¡°What? Just stand still and don¡¯t move. If you encounter danger, just scream out loud.¡± After Zhang Xue¡¯er instructed Hu Tao, she hid among the surrounding woods. ¡°What do you mean by don¡¯t move¡­¡± Hu Tao looked at Zhang Xue¡¯er who had disappeared in front of him, as well as the surrounding eerie woods. Her legs started to tremble once again. It was as if there were many eyes around, staring at her. There was a murderous intent hidden in the woods. Gulp! Hu Tao swallowed her saliva and hesitated for a long time on the spot. In the end, she still decided to take a few steps forward. After taking a few steps, Hu Tao began to slowly sneak around. About ten minutes later¡­ ¡°I was wondering why I smelled an unfamiliar scent. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it¡¯s actually a human!¡± At this moment, a group of jungle monkeys walked out from the depths of the forest. Jungle monkeys were the most common demonic beasts on this continent. Basically, there were such demonic beasts in the mountains and forests. They belonged to the low class of demonic beasts, and their strength was only equivalent to that of a low-level cultivator. There were only a few outliers, such as the jungle vajra, who were exceptionally strong. Their entire body was green, and their eyes were sunken in as if they had shrunk. Their tails behind them seemed to have been broken. ¡°Let me guess, how did a weak cultivator like you get here?¡± The leader of the jungle monkeys bared its three-inch long fangs, and its sunken eyes lit up with a dark green light. This was the action of the jungle monkeys before they were ready to hunt! ¡°Ah! Help!¡± Hu Tao had been pampered since she was young, so she had never seen such a scene. She turned around, screamed, then ran away. ¡°Monkeys! Chase after him! Remember! I want to eat his lower half of his body!¡± The leader of the jungle monkeys wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and shouted at Hu Tao¡¯s back. ¡°Wuwuwuwu! I want the hands!¡± ¡°I want the brain!¡± ¡°I want his body!¡± Dozens of jungle monkeys jumped out and ran in Hu Tao¡¯s direction. This group of jungle monkeys were like starving wolves. Their eyes emitted a green light, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to catch up to Hu Tao. Zhang Xue¡¯er, who was hiding in the dark, was about to launch an attack, but in the next second¡­ Bang! A five-meter-long bucktoothed boar rushed out, knocking away all the jungle monkeys that were about to pounce on Hu Tao. ¡°Ah!¡± The jungle monkeys screamed and flew backward. There were holes in the chests of the few at the front, with green blood flowing out. It looked like there was no life left. ¡°Damn wild boar! This is the territory of our jungle monkeys!¡± The leader of the jungle monkeys took out a mace from somewhere, roared and pointed it at the buck-toothed boar in front of him. ¡°Yours? With your skinny looks, how dare you say that this is your territory?¡± The buck-toothed boar bared its ten one-meter-long tusks in disdain. They were already covered in green blood. ¡°Don¡¯t be too arrogant, stupid pig!¡± As the jungle monkeys spoke, they called their companions over and surrounded the buck-toothed boar. There were more than a hundred jungle monkeys surrounding the buck-toothed boar. ¡°Hmph!¡± The buck-toothed boar took a step back. Five of its companions appeared behind it. One of them was seven meters long. The buck-toothed boar also had a group of magical beasts that lived in groups. However, there were only six or seven of them in their group. The extras would be chased out to establish their own group. ¡°Wild monkey, get the hell out of here. I want this prey.¡± The buck-toothed boar leader was also not willing to be outdone. Their bodies were there, which was much larger than a short creature like the jungle monkey. A cultivator! How long had it been? How long had it been since a cultivator entered the Jeroka Mountain Range? Now that Hu Tao was the first cultivator they had seen in the past ten years, they naturally had to fight over him. Cultivators were the best tonic for demonic beasts. In the sky¡­ ¡°As expected of the Lucky Lamb. At critical moments, there will always be stronger creatures on the scene.¡± Zhang Yang saw it clearly from high up in the sky. Now that the prey had been lured out, he was ready to make his move! The jungle monkey looked at the five buck-toothed boars behind the buck-toothed boar leader and was already thinking of backing out. If the enemy only had two buck-toothed boars, then the leader of the jungle monkeys would definitely attack without hesitation. However, now that the buck-toothed boars were in a pack, the leader of the jungle monkeys did not want to take a big risk and snatch the food from the buck-toothed boar¡¯s mouths. ¡°Let¡¯s leave, monkey cubs!¡± The leader of the jungle monkeys waved the mace in his hand and left with the unwilling monkey cubs. As soon as the group of jungle monkeys left, the buck-toothed boar started eating the dead jungle monkey¡¯s corpse. The crisp sound of bones breaking rang in the buck-toothed boar¡¯s mouth. At the same time, there was a continuous humming sound like that of a wild boar. ¡°It¡¯s time to enjoy the fruits.¡± The leader of the buck-toothed boar then turned around and looked at the weak cultivator. Although this human did not even have the qualifications to stuff his teeth, he could still try something new. Chapter 24 ¡°Roar! Get away from you lowly wild boars! This is not someone you can hurt!¡± At this moment, Zhang Xue¡¯er finally rushed out and stood in front of Hu Tao. This was the first time that Zhang Xue¡¯er faced an opponent with such a body size alone. In the past, she had the help of a cheat, but now it was inconvenient for it to appear. ¡°Another cultivator? Or is it an intermediate cultivator?¡± The leader of the buck-toothed boar was stunned for a moment, then revealed an evil smile. If it was an advanced cultivator, the leader of the buck-toothed boar would definitely not dare to fart. However! The buck-toothed boar already had some intelligence, hence an intermediate cultivator did not need to be taken seriously. Not all sentient creatures were afraid of cultivators. On the contrary, many creatures wanted to eat a high-level cultivator. In the cruel world, the big always ate the small. Who would care whether you were part of a weak group or not? If an ordinary demonic beast ate a human cultivator, its aptitude would leap several levels. The buck-toothed boar leader looked around, and repeatedly confirmed that there were no other cultivators nearby. ¡°It just so happens that I haven¡¯t tasted the meat of an intermediate cultivator yet.¡± As cultivators could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, being devoured by demonic beasts could greatly enhance their ability to transform. It was the lifelong pursuit of many demonic beasts. ¡°Bastard! Having intelligence is not a reason for you to be arrogant!¡± For the first time, Zhang Xue¡¯er was angry, revealing her sharp but somewhat tender claws and teeth. The aura of her body surged out and covered the entire herd of buck-toothed boars, pressuring them quite a bit. Unfortunately, her current pressure was too weak. It was basically negligible in front of an adult buck-toothed boar. ¡°Is this the pressure of a legendary human cultivator? It¡¯s not a big deal then.¡± The buck-toothed boar felt the pressure on its body and smiled. It was a trivial thing. It really did not know why its parents would boast about how powerful a human cultivator was. Zhang Xue¡¯er did not speak anymore. She began to release her own aura. Her entire body was like a cat whose fur had exploded, ready to fight at any time. ¡°Let me try out this legendary mid-level cultivator to see how powerful is she!¡± The underling standing next to the buck-toothed boar leader suddenly rushed out, carrying its long tusks. The buck-toothed boar¡¯s running even caused the ground to tremble. A cloud of dust and yellow smoke rose from the back of its thighs. ¡°Ignorant and lowly beast!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er gathered spirit energy in her palm, and an extremely cold white gas condensed in her palm. When it reached its limit, the white gas was released. Boom! An extremely cold aura burst out from her palm, and the ice flow turned into a river and hit the buck-toothed boar¡¯s entire body. Crack! When the buck-toothed boar¡¯s tusks touched the ice flow, they quickly turned into ice cubes and broke apart. However, this still could not stop him from advancing forward. Bang! Zhang Xue¡¯er looked at the buck-toothed boar that was close at hand. Without saying a word, she took out her weapon and fiercely slapped it against the buck-toothed boar¡¯s head. The powerful force caused the buck-toothed boar to fly out like a cannon ball and crash into a large tree trunk. The buck-toothed boar laid under the tree and gradually began to twitch. Its face was covered with ice shards, and soon after, its eyes lost their luster. A one-hit kill! ¡°As expected of a cultivator!¡± Not only was the buck-toothed boar leader not afraid, but it became even more excited. At this time, Zhang Xue¡¯er was panting. The attack just now was her trump card, and it could not be used indefinitely. Normally, Zhang Xue¡¯er could use freezing ten times in one go, but this time, in order to scare the enemy away with a one-hit kill, she had to use freezing ten times in one go. Zhang Xue¡¯er had specially increased the power of freezing, making it impossible for her to continue using this move. What she did not expect was that the buck-toothed boar leader actually did not have the slightest bit of fear, but instead had even more of a fighting spirit. ¡®Damn it! As expected, it was a lowly and stupid creature!¡¯ Zhang Xue¡¯er cursed in her heart. ¡°Very good human, but unfortunately, you will soon die under my fangs.¡± The buck-toothed boar leader licked his fangs, and his hind hooves was constantly rubbing against the ground. He was about to launch an attack. ¡°Come on! I¡¯m never afraid of an ant¡¯s provocation!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was also not afraid of the buck-toothed boar. She had no reason to be afraid of such a lowly creature. Dong! The bucktoothed boar leader moved! His entire fat body was like an arrow that was shot out at this moment. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Zhang Xue¡¯er. ¡°Get out of my way, beast!¡± An extremely authoritative and oppressive voice came from above. A hurricane suddenly struck. The buck-toothed pig leader, who weighed over a ton, was sent flying. He fell to the ground and slid dozens of meters on his thick fur. ¡°What did you say just now?¡± Zhang Yang landed in front of Zhang Xue¡¯er. The reason why he did not show himself just now was to see how strong Zhang Xue¡¯er was. Now, he looked really good, but his combat experience was actually poor. It was clear that killing a buck-toothed boar did not require her to use her full strength. However, in the end, in order to achieve a threatening effect, Zhang Xue¡¯er still had to use her full strength. In the end, not only was the buck-toothed boar leader not afraid, but he also had a strong fighting spirit. She might as well be here today. If Zhang Xue¡¯er did not use her own cheat, she would have long been eaten up by the buck-toothed boar. Perhaps Zhang Xue¡¯er could use fire to attack the buck-toothed boar, but Zhang Xue¡¯er had long forgotten that she knew how to use fire. Mist Wind Strike was a normal wind-control attack, but because Zhang Yang was relatively strong, even though it was a normal attack, the appearance of it was as scary as a big move. ¡°Big brother!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er smiled happily when she saw Zhang Yang. She had almost forgotten that her big brother was watching from above. ¡°Xue¡¯er, remember, you are a self-reliant person. You must know how to be fearless in the face of danger. ¡°In the battle just now, you first played your trump card, and then forgot to use fire to counter them.¡± Zhang Yang did not give Zhang Xue¡¯er a cheeky smile. He had to teach Zhang Xue¡¯er. In this cruel world, Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s cheat could not always protect her. A loving father was good, but sometimes, a strict father¡¯s education was even more profound. ¡°I¡­ I understand, brother.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er admitted her mistake and lowered her head, just like a child. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know. Remember it next time.¡± Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze from Zhang Xue¡¯er. He glanced at Hu Tao, who had fainted a long time ago, and then shifted his gaze back to the buck-toothed boar. At this moment, the buck-toothed boar leader and his companion, who had long since gotten up, were trembling from the pressure released by Zhang Yang. After seeing Zhang Yang¡¯s terrifying strength, the first thing the buck-toothed boar leader wanted to do was to escape with his companion. However, he did not expect that the terrifying pressure from Zhang Yang¡¯s body would sweep over. It was different from the drizzling strength of Zhang Xue¡¯er. Zhang Yang¡¯s pressure was like a torrential downpour, causing them to not dare to move at all. ¡°Repeat what you just said,¡± Zhang Yang said calmly. The buck-toothed boars did not make any sound. ¡°Since you don¡¯t have it, then go and die!¡± ¡°Scarlet Flame!¡± A high-temperature fireball formed from raging flames whistled out from in front of Li Yang! The huge fireball that was a full meter wide flew out like a small sun. Everywhere it passed, there was only raging flames! Boom! Boom! The earth-shaking explosion reverberated throughout the mountain forest! Countless magical beasts raised their heads and looked in the direction of Zhang Yang. That place was extremely dangerous! Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! After the explosion disappeared, there was only the sound of trees burning and exploding. ¡°So¡­ so powerful.¡± Chapter 25 Zhang Xue¡¯er was dumbstruck. Her brother¡¯s strength was actually very strong. He could kill four buck-toothed boars just by relying on the low-level fire-bending technique. Scarlet Flame was the foundation of the fire-bending technique. It was a cultivation technique that all fire-type cultivators must learn. This fire-bending technique had a magical aspect. The longer one stored energy, the greater the power of the test. At the same time, it also consumed more energy. Zhang Yang did not finish storing energy for a long time. He just increased the amount of energy he consumed. At this moment, Scarlet Flame was the real powerful fire-bending technique. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there. Eat the barbecued meat too.¡± Zhang Yang took the first step and walked toward the buck-toothed boar to eat the roast meat. ¡°Oh, okay!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er quickly came back to her senses and was about to eat it. Then, she thought of Hu Tao behind her. She turned around and grabbed Hu Tao, who was beside Zhang Yang on the track. ¡®Hmm, it¡¯s burnt. Next time, control the heat,¡¯ Zhang Xue¡¯er thought. ¡°Brother, should we wake her up?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er placed Hu Tao under her armpit on the ground and poked Hu Tao gently with her foot. If it was not for Hu Tao¡¯s breathing, she would have suspected that Hu Tao was scared to death. ¡°Wake her up. She had not eaten yet. I won¡¯t care if she¡¯s hungry or not when she¡¯s flying.¡± Zhang Yang tore off a piece of tendon and placed it in his mouth. Zhang Xue¡¯er listened to Zhang Yang¡¯s words and gently blew at Hu Tao. ¡°Ah choo! It¡¯s so cold!¡± Hu Tao immediately got up and rubbed his slender arms. When the cold passed, Hu Tao realized that she was actually surrounded by the buck-toothed boar¡¯s corpse, and that powerful man was right beside her. ¡°Senior¡­¡± Hu Tao was about to say something. Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t call me with that title. Just call me Zhang Yang for now. As for Xue¡¯er, you can see what she thinks.¡± Zhang Yang had not thought of a name yet, so he let Hu Tao call him by his name first. ¡°Hello, senior Zhang Yang.¡± Hu Tao quickly bowed and nodded obediently, then looked at Zhang Xue¡¯er. Zhang Xue¡¯er rolled her eyes and said mischievously, ¡°You can just call me senior madam!¡± ¡°Ahem, ahem, what is senior madam?¡± Zhang Yang, who was eating his food, was shocked by Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s words. ¡°Look, brother. If you let him call you senior, then I¡¯m not your biological sister. I also happen to want to be your wife. It¡¯s not wrong to call me senior madam.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er said disapprovingly. She felt that the title she thought of was very good. ¡°It means that but isn¡¯t it a little too strange?¡± The corner of Zhang Yang¡¯s mouth twitched. This cheap sister of his was a little too unrestrained. ¡°I think it¡¯s okay.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er pouted. Zhang Yang and Hu Tao were speechless. ¡°Whatever¡­ whatever you want.¡± Zhang Yang covered his face speechlessly. This sister of his was too unrestrained. As someone who had been kidnapped, Hu Tao was also a little embarrassed. It was no problem for her to call Zhang Yang, senior. However, what was this title of senior¡¯s wife? Despite that, as a fish, did Hu Tao have any reason to refuse? Did she not see that senior Zhang Yang had already given in to Zhang Xue¡¯er? He could just follow suit. As the three of them were hungry, in the blink of an eye, there were only bones left on the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zhang Yang prepared to fly to the main peak in one breath. Wasting time like this was not a solution. In any case, a cultivator¡¯s hunger value was very high. They would not starve to death just because they did not eat for a few days. An average mid-level cultivator could persist with not eating for half a year, but their strength would be weakened. If it was a high-level cultivator, they could persist without eating. As for Hu Tao¡¯s rations, Zhang Yang had specially prepared some meat and placed it in his second storage ring. If he was hungry, she could just bring the food to him. Zhang Yang¡¯s second storage ring was very clean hence there was no need to worry. It was a place that was specially used to store food. Of course, Hu Tao had no reason to refuse in front of Zhang Yang. The weak only had to obey the orders of the strong! Three days later¡­ While the two of them were focused on traveling, Zhang Yang and the others successfully flew out of the mountains in the south of the Heavenly Gate sect and arrived at the main peak within three days. The cultivation field they were going to was a place called the Yellow Wind Desert. The Yellow Wind Desert was just like its name. Its whole surface was covered by a vast yellow desert. The sun shone brightly here, so it was obviously a piece of bare land. As a fire element cultivator, Zhang Yang really liked the feeling here, except that the environment was a little bad. ¡°What a disgusting feeling!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er looked at the big sun above her head, as well as the desolate desert below. ¡°As expected of the Yellow Wind Desert, there really isn¡¯t a single living creature that can be seen.¡± Zhang Yang looked down and saw that the bottom was all lined with bones of magical beasts. It looked like they had been dead for some time. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m hungry.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er said what Zhang Yang wanted to say. Her stomach was already empty. ¡°Let¡¯s go down and take a look.¡± Zhang Yang flew down with Zhang Xue¡¯er and landed in the endless desert. Whoosh. The hot wind blew over their bodies. Zhang Yang felt refreshed, while Zhang Xue¡¯er felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, with her cheat, Zhang Xue¡¯er could bear the high temperature here. However, Hu Tao, an ordinary cultivator, was miserable. Hu Tao¡¯s small face was now red from the sun, like a shy flower. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m feeling very hot.¡± Hu Tao only felt that she needed a glass of water to alleviate the current heat. ¡°Brother, look! A desert forest!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er excitedly pointed to the lush green forest ahead. A desert forest was a forest that was still growing in the desert. This was the greatest wealth of the desert. ¡°Hm, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Zhang Yang nodded. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. Why did he not see this forest in the sky? One had to know that in such a large forest, as long as one was not blind, they could see it clearly from high up in the sky. Moreover, Zhang Yang was a cultivator. In this continent, a cultivator¡¯s vision was like a telescope. The two of them walked into the desert forest one after the other. ¡°This is comfortable¡­¡± As soon as they entered the desert forest, Zhang Xue¡¯er felt the aura of the mountain forest that she had not felt for a long time. In the middle of the desert forest was a huge lake. ¡°Senior¡¯s wife, I¡­ I¡­ I also want to drink water.¡± Hu Tao carefully asked Zhang Xue¡¯er. ¡°Understood, now your senior madam will bring you to the lake to have a good shower!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er looked at the lake impatiently. After getting the approval from Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes, Zhang Xue¡¯er quickly jumped out. Bang! Zhang Xue¡¯er held Hu Tao and crash landed in the middle of the lake, setting off a wave that was more than a meter high. ¡°Phew, this feels so good.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er spat out a small stream of water from her mouth. At this moment, she only felt that she had an endless amount of strength. ¡°Help! I don¡¯t know how to swim!¡± Hu Tao¡¯s two short legs flopped in the water, but her body continued to sink. ¡°Sigh, let your senior¡¯s wife save you.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er easily used her ability to freeze a small piece of the water surface to support Hu Tao. ¡°Cough, cough, cough.¡± Hu Tao coughed out a lot of water from her mouth. Just now, he really nearly scared her to death. Chapter 26 Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Xue¡¯er and the others, who were so happy, and squatted on the shore to watch. He somewhat hated water. It was not that he was afraid of water. He simply did not want to go into the water. When a true high-level fire-type cultivator entered the water, the temperature that erupted from their body was enough to vaporize the entire lake. ¡°Yawn¡­¡± Zhang Yang yawned on the shore. The only bad thing about becoming a high-level cultivator was that he always needed a lot of sleep. However, after flying for a whole day and night, it was normal for him to be a little sleepy. Seeing Zhang Xue¡¯er playing with Hu Tao in the water, he enjoyed watching them. Therefore, Zhang Yang simply laid on the shore. As his eyelids became heavier and heavier, Zhang Yang fell asleep. After an unknown period of time¡­ ¡°Where is this?¡± When Zhang Yang opened his eyes, he realized that he was actually deep within a palace. The entire palace was made of sand, but it was even more dazzling than gold. It exuded nobility and mystery everywhere, as if it was an ancient ruin that had been asleep for a long time. ¡°Young man, this is all the treasure of the Yellow Wind Desert! Come! Find it! Let it become the most dazzling part of your life¡¯s treasure!¡± The ancient mysterious voice echoed in the Desert Palace, constantly tempting Zhang Yang. Just when Zhang Yang was about to walk into the palace to take a look¡­ ¡°Ah! Brother!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s scream suddenly rang out in Zhang Yang¡¯s ear. At this moment, the surrounding scene seemed to be regressing, and the Desert Palace turned into dust and disappeared. Suddenly, Zhang Yang opened his vertical pupils and realized that everything just now was a dream. Zhang Xue¡¯er, who was swimming in the water, was grabbed by two tentacles that looked like octopuses and was dragged into the lake. ¡°Roar!¡± At this moment, Zhang Yang woke up! The aura on Zhang Yang¡¯s body expanded, and the flames of the blazing sun that burst out from his body swept toward the tentacles. ¡°Yaoyang!¡± The circle formed by the flames slashed across the tentacles and ignited a fierce flame. The huge tentacle was also cut down by the circle of flames at that moment, and Zhang Xue¡¯er was able to escape. Zhang Xue¡¯er quickly returned to Zhang Yang¡¯s side and said anxiously, ¡°Brother, Hu Tao was dragged down.¡± ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Zhang Yang was not in a hurry to save Hu Tao. With her Lucky Lamb talent, Hu Tao should not die at the hands of such a magical beast. ¡°Just now, Hu Tao and I were splashing water on each other when all of a sudden, a tentacle grabbed me. ¡°I quickly dived into the lake and grabbed that tentacle. Then, I was just about to take Hu Tao up into the sky. ¡°In the end, I was grabbed by two tentacles midair. Hu Tao fell from my arms and was pulled down by the tentacles. ¡°Oh right, brother, when I dived down, I saw a pair of big glowing eyes.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er quickly explained everything that had happened. ¡°I understand.¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes had a hint of vigilance. His vigilance was extremely high. Even when he was sleeping, no movement could escape his ears. Unless it was a deep sleep to prepare to improve his strength, otherwise, it would definitely wake him up. Zhang Yang himself was only taking a nap. How could he not hear those movements? Could it be related to the mysterious palace just now? Just as Zhang Yang was a little confused, Zhang Xue¡¯er said anxiously, ¡°Brother, if you don¡¯t go down and save Hu Tao, our only attendant might die.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t die so easily.¡± Zhang Yang came back to his senses and comforted Zhang Xue¡¯er. Then, he flew to the center of the lake and watched the movements below. At this time, the lake fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened before. Zhang Yang¡¯s sharp eyes stared at the surface of the lake without blinking. He wanted to see the situation inside through the surface. Bang! Suddenly, three large tentacles drilled out from the lake and bound Zhang Yang¡¯s legs and one of his hands respectively. Then, the tentacles began to pull Zhang Yang into the deep, invisible lake with all their might. ¡°You dare to attack my idea! I want to see what you are!¡± Zhang Yang did not choose to resist the tentacle. Instead, he took the initiative to let the tentacle pull him into the lake. ¡°Xue¡¯er, you stay up there and don¡¯t move!¡± These were the words that Zhang Yang left for Zhang Xue¡¯er after entering the lake. Then, Zhang Yang disappeared in front of Zhang Xue¡¯er. Zhang Xue¡¯er was very anxious, but her brother¡¯s instructions were advising her not to take action. ¡°Damn it!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er paced around the shore anxiously. She really wanted to go down and help her brother, but she was afraid that she would cause trouble for him. She knew Zhang Yang¡¯s strength, and she knew that he was just being dragged down on purpose. However, her brother was a fire element cultivator, and underwater battles were not his battlefield. Instead, they would restrict his strength. ¡°Senior, what should we do?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your brother is fine.¡± Under the lake, as soon as Zhang Yang entered the water, the flames on his body shrank into his body. This was the instinct of a fire-type cultivator. The aura on his body in the water would automatically return to his body to ensure the fire of life continues to burn inside his body. In the pitch-black water, Zhang Yang was like a weak firefly. He could barely see a ray of red light. However, the pair of big light bulbs in front of Zhang Yang was different. They were like searchlights in the deep sea, illuminating everything around him. In order to find out who the owner of the tentacles was, Zhang Yang opened the system diagram. [Name: Chuan] [Creature: Stone-talon Youth ] [Attack: 410] [Defense: 301] [Item: Small Treasure Pile ] [Talent: Reborn Tentacles ] [Abilities: Melee combat, tentacle pulling, camouflage ] [Remarks: A despicable person who only knows how to sneak an attack with brute force] ¡°Stone-talon?!¡± Zhang Yang widened his eyes. Why would there be a stone-talon in this lake. This was not Japan. Was this a game? After using the system to find out who the enemy was, Celine began to search through the memories in her mind. Spanning the distance between the rocks was a monster that had an average body length of nearly a hundred meters. The main place where it appeared was in the deep sea that was a thousand meters deep. What it liked the most was to use its camouflage characteristics to hide and then use one move to suppress the enemy to launch a sneak attack. Its strength was considered to be one of the highest standard among magical beasts. It was a pity that it only knew how to use brute force and did not know any other offensive methods. Their entire body was similar to a giant octopus. The color of their body was not fixed. It depended on the color of the surrounding environment. Every adult stone-talon¡¯s tentacles were dozens of meters long, and there were eight tentacles on their bodies. Moreover, if they broke with time, they could quickly grow back within a minute. To kill this kind of stone-talon, one had to explode his head. Otherwise, his healing ability would be extremely fast. The template was a berserker¡¯s template, but he had to be an assassin. ¡°So, it¡¯s the stone-talon! Tell me! How did you appear in such a small lake?¡± Zhang Yang used fire-bending power to pounce, and the tentacles that bound his body were instantly torn apart. Chapter 27 ¡°As expected of an intermediate cultivator. However, you¡¯re in the water now. Are you sure you can defeat me?!¡± The large octopus on the other side also spoke. Shiji was an intelligent magical beast and could speak. Not every magical beast on this continent could speak. Some powerful magical beasts did not have the intelligence and did not know how to use the common language of the continent. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question just now, bastard!¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s gaze swept over Shiji one by one. He was looking for Hu Tao¡¯s position. ¡°Are you looking for that little girl? Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s not dead yet,¡± Shiji said with a smile. When Zhang Yang and the others arrived at the shore, he had already noticed Zhang Yang. Cultivators were one of the treasures of magical beasts. This was something that all intelligent magical beasts on the continent knew. Zhang Yang¡¯s strength was only that of a mid-level cultivator. Therefore, Shiji had some confidence in defeating Zhang Yang. However, without 100% confidence, the intelligent demonic beasts would not dare to take the treasures of humans for themselves. Just like the demons on the road to the west, Sun Wukong had not even caught them yet. How could he dare touch this piece of Tang Sanzang¡¯s flesh first? ¡°Since you know, then why don¡¯t you hand over Hu Tao!¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s words were filled with an aura that could not be rejected. Shiji seemed to be comparing Zhang Yang¡¯s strength with his own, and for a moment, he did not dare to act rashly. Just now, he had easily dragged Zhang Yang into the bottom of the lake. He thought that Zhang Yang¡¯s strength was very weak, but he did not expect him to be so strong. He had easily broken the tentacle in the water. Moreover, human cultivators were the most vengeful. If he did not kill this cultivator this time, when he returned to human society, the one who would die would be him. After weighing the pros and cons, he replied, ¡°Respected human cultivator, please forgive my vulgar words just now. I will return your people to you now.¡± Ishimaki took Hu Tao out from behind. This time, Hu Tao was wrapped in a bubble, so she did not drown to death. After taking Hu Tao and carefully observing that he was fine, Zhang Yang once again admired the Lucky Lamb. She really did not die. ¡°Great human cultivator, your people have been returned to you. We are even now.¡± Shiji said respectfully. ¡°Even? Who is even with you? Now you only have two options! ¡°One, be my follower, or two, be buried at the bottom of this lake forever.¡± Zhang Yang used his wind control ability to send Hu Tao up, then looked at Shiji. How could it be so easy to ask for the forgiveness of a human cultivator? ¡°No! You don¡¯t keep your words!¡± Shiji roared at Zhang Yang. His body moved in anger, stirring up a whirlpool. ¡°I don¡¯t keep my words? When will I, Zhang Yang, promise you that I will return Hu Tao and forgive you?¡± Zhang Yang did not agree with Shiji from the beginning to the end. It was just Shiji¡¯s wishful thinking. ¡°Ah! I want you to pay the price, human!¡± The stone-talon was completely furious. What did it matter if he was a middle-stage human cultivator?! He was the young stone-talon! Five tentacles suddenly attacked Zhang Yang like stone pillars. Zhang Yang looked at the attacking tentacles and was not afraid. The sparks in his hands were ready to be continued. When he said that, Zhang Yang knew that stone-talon would definitely be unhappy. ¡°In the water, your fire won¡¯t work, hahaha!¡± When Shiji saw the faint red light in Zhang Yang¡¯s hand, he knew that his opponent was going to use fire-bending technique to attack. ¡°Fire? When did I say I was going to use fire-bending technique to attack!¡± A mix of white electric currents appeared in Zhang Yang¡¯s hand, making a sizzling sound. ¡°Lightning? No! You are not a single element cultivator!¡± Shiji widened his eyes in disbelief. Why would this middle-rank human cultivator use the lightning control technique? This did not make sense! Boom! Thunder rumbled in Zhang Yang¡¯s hand. Then, like a wild horse, it flew toward Shiji. ¡°Roar!¡± The lightning transformed into a lightning dragon as it charged forward. With a dragon¡¯s roar, it crashed into Shiji¡¯s body. ¡°Ah!¡± The violent lightning filled Shiji¡¯s body, and for a moment, the dazzling lightning illuminated everything at the bottom of the lake. Even the golden treasure pile behind Shiji was illuminated to the point that it was sparkling. Shiji groaned in pain, and all the tentacles on his body curled up together. His entire body seemed to have shrunk. ¡°I¡¯ll give you one last chance! Live or die!¡± The wood bending technique in Zhang Yang¡¯s hand was ready. ¡°Live! Great cultivator, no! Great prince Zhang Yang! You are my lifelong pursuit! Wherever your hands point to, I will fight for you!¡± Shiji originally wanted to argue that he could not kill him, but the green fluorescent light in Zhang Yang¡¯s hand almost scared him to death. It was one thing for an intermediate cultivator to know the lightning bending technique, but how could he even know the wood bending technique? In order to save his life, Shiji hurriedly recited the master-servant oath. After reciting the master-servant oath, Shiji was forbidden to betray him for the rest of his life. Otherwise, he would be punished by the god of laws. Every master-servant oath was different. The main thing was that it depended on how well the person involved complimented their master. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be much easier if I had done this earlier?¡± Zhang Yang put away the sparkling green light in his hand. After being out for so many days, he finally received a family member. Moreover, this family member was not a flower vase like Hu Tao, but possessed real combat strength. ¡°Hu¡­¡± After seeing the green light in Zhang Yang¡¯s hand disappear, Shiji heaved a sigh of relief. He was almost done for. How could a middle-level human cultivator be so powerful! ¡°Respected master, this is my greeting gift to you.¡± Since he had already promised Zhang Yang and made the master-servant oath, Shiji simply handed over the pile of glittering treasures behind him to Zhang Yang. Shiji did not particularly like treasures. What he liked was to collect the spoils of war from his prey. However, as he had stayed at the bottom of the lake for a long time, Shiji had accumulated this small pile of treasures. ¡°Very good.¡± Zhang Yang smiled happily. This was treasure that belonged to him. After sending all the treasures into the spirit ring, he swam up with Shiji. On the shore¡­ Zhang Xue¡¯er woke up Hu Tao who was in the bubble and hurriedly asked about the situation below. However, the unconscious Hu Tao did not know anything. Right now, Zhang Xue¡¯er wanted to dive into the water to find out what was going on. Bang! Right at this moment, there was movement on the surface of the water. Zhang Yang¡¯s valiant body flew out from the water. ¡°Brother!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s worries turned into joy. Her brother had finally returned. However, immediately after, Zhang Xue¡¯er discovered the tentacles behind Zhang Yang¡¯s figure. ¡°Brother, be careful!¡± Without knowing anything, Zhang Xue¡¯er used her trump card against the tentacles and they froze. Boom! Chapter 28 The ice did not appear as expected. The result of the attack was that it was easily dispersed by Zhang Yang. Only then did the head of the stone-talon finally appeared. It had a shiny marinated egg head and a pair of big eyes that were five to six meters wide. This stone-talon was the young man¡¯s body stone pitch. Adding the tentacles, it was more than 30 meters long. The tentacle alone took up two-thirds of the distance between the stones. ¡°Make sure you understand the situation before making your move.¡± Zhang Yang came to Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s side and gave this sister a flick to the head. ¡°Oh! I was just worried about you, big brother.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er rubbed her head aggrievedly. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is our second family member, Chuan, the young stone-talon.¡± Zhang Yang introduced Chuan¡¯s identity, name, and race. ¡°Shiji?! Shouldn¡¯t that be in the sea over in Japan?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s face was full of question marks. With the help of the cheat, she quickly learned about the creature known as Shiji. It was a monster that lived in the sea of a country called Japan. ¡°I¡¯m also very confused about this.¡± Zhang Yang looked at Chuan, waiting for his own explanation. Seeing Zhang Yang looking at him, Chuan hurriedly explained his background. He was originally an ordinary stone-talon living in the coastal waters of Japan. However, there was an accident in the sea at that time. He was captured by humans not long after he was born. It was worth mentioning that even though stone-talons grew big, the baby he gave birth to was only the size of a human baby. Additionally, he could only give birth to one child at a time. Chuan, who was separated from his mother, could not help but to be captured by humans. In order to protect himself, Chuan wrapped himself up, but it was just a cover-up. The group of human ships brought him ashore to be sold, and he was finally chosen by a sect. That was right. He was chosen by the Heavenly Gate sect. He was supposed to be placed in the coastal area. In the end, they passed through the Yellow Wind Desert during the transportation. As they encountered a death storm that was rarely seen in a hundred years, all the humans panicked. However, Chuan, who was in the box, was protected well. In the end, the sandstorm swept him up into the sky. When Chuan woke up again, he appeared here. The box was also smashed, and Chuan took the opportunity to dive into the lake. He stayed there for 50 years. After fifty years of change, he finally transformed into the shape of a young man. ¡°Isn¡¯t this story too fantastic?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er, who was listening from the side, curled her lips. It had indeed drifted all the way from the waters of Japan to here. Zhang Yang was also a little surprised. He did not expect Chuan¡¯s experience to be that rough. However, hearing this, Zhang Yang felt that he was also a magical beast with a talent for luck as he could even survive this. That group of human cultivators had probably became skeletons in the desert. Although this was near the main peak of the Heavenly Gate sect, it was also a forbidden area for living beings. The disciples of the Immortal Mountains were not allowed to enter this place without permission. ¡°No wonder I didn¡¯t see a single demonic beast in such a large desert forest. You definitely scared them away.¡± Zhang Yang chuckled. ¡°I know, master. I haven¡¯t eaten anything for half a month. I could only catch some small shrimps in the water to satisfy my hunger.¡± Chuan was simply too hungry. Otherwise, he would not have set his sights on Zhang Yang, a human cultivator. There were many creatures in the desert forest, but the average weight was only about 20 kilograms. For a big guy like Chuan, that was not enough to eat. If it were in the deep sea, the food in the rocky abyss would be whales. ¡°Since you¡¯ve been here for 50 years, you should know what kind of races are around here, right?¡± Zhang Yang asked. Now, Zhang Yang could roughly guess why Li Zhe asked him to come here. It should have something to do with the Desert Palace. In order to find out what the Desert Palace was, Zhang Yang had to ask the natives here. ¡°The races nearby¡­¡± Chuan blinked and said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not sure. I only know that I¡¯ve eaten horned lizards, sand dune raiders, and rotten bones. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ve also seen the desert witch, but she ran too fast, so I couldn¡¯t eat her.¡± Chuan recalled what he had seen and heard in the past fifty years. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see the desert witch here.¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. The desert witch was one of the rarer monsters, and the place where she appeared most was the desert. They did not move in groups, but alone. When necessary, they would make a special cry, and they could call their companions around them. They were a kind of elemental monster, and they knew how to use the earth control technique. The powerful desert witch could also use the soul control technique. The horned lizard was a type of magical beast that was commonly seen in the desert. It did not have much intelligence and was similar to an ordinary large lizard. The sand dune raider was a magical beast that hid in the sand. Usually, it would hide in the sand to attack its prey. The rotten bones were not the creatures that originally existed in the desert. They were all transformed from the bones of dead magical beasts. In the desert, they were called the rotten bones of the desert. In the forest, they were called the rotten bones of the forest. In any case, it depended on where they died. The formation of the rotten bones had to be transformed by the soul control technique. Therefore, Zhang Yang suspected that the desert witch here had used the soul control technique to transform some of the rotten bones. ¡°By the way, do you know about the desert palace?¡± Zhang Yang suddenly asked. ¡°Desert Palace?¡± Chuan shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, great master, I have never heard of this thing.¡± ¡°Never heard of it?¡± Zhang Yang frowned slightly. Chuan had never heard of this Desert Palace before. However, Zhang Yang was sure that there was definitely a palace in the Yellow Wind Desert. His memories would not lie to him. Most importantly, in his memories, Zhang Yang did not find any records about the Desert Palace. ¡°What should I do next?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er looked around at the desolate desert and did not know where to start her cultivation. ¡°I want some family members. Chuan, I¡¯ll leave this one to you,¡± Zhang Yang said. Chapter 29 Chuan quickly lowered his body and said humbly, ¡°Great master, these stupid servants don¡¯t know what to do.¡± ¡°Do you see this human girl?¡± Zhang Yang pushed Hu Tao in front of Chuan with his right hand. ¡°I understand, great master!¡± Chuan¡¯s eyes lit up. The reason why those monsters did not come was because the desert forest was not attractive enough. However, as long as Hu Tao was placed at the door, it was enough to attract some demons who dared to risk their lives. When the demons were attracted and came over, Chuan would take action and capture them. Whether to follow Zhang Yang or die here, it was up to them to decide. The unconscious Hu Tao was once again used as bait by Zhang Yang. Now, Zhang Yang was extremely glad that he took Hu Tao with him. This was indeed high-quality bait. He flew to the sand dune in the distance ¡°Damn it, there¡¯s nothing to eat in this desert!¡± A sand dune raider rushed out of the sand dune and cursed at the scorching sun above his head. The sand dune raider was three meters long and looked like an arthropod-like worm. However, they were humanoid and stood upright. They had a total of six hands on their bodies. The color of their bodies were mainly brown. They also had a pair of long jaws on their mouths, which could easily crush the bones of their prey. A sand dune raider came out of the mound and said, ¡°This is where we live. We¡¯re still not used to staying in the jungle.¡± As desert creatures, their hunger value was very, very high. Humans used to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to avoid hunger. Meanwhile, the sand dune raider relied on the powerful pouch in its stomach. Food the size of a small deer was enough for the sand dune raider to digest for a whole month. Bang! At this moment, a five-meter-tall sand dune raider came out with a brown cloth hanging on his body. His name was Burton, and he was the leader of the entire sand dune raider tribe. Their tribe was called the Sharp Blade Tribe, and there were nearly a hundred raiders in the entire tribe. The attacker next to them poked his head out and said, ¡°Leader, why don¡¯t we change our position and ambush them? Eleven tribesmen have starved to death.¡± The Sharp Blade Tribe had been guarding this land for half a month, but in the end, not a single horned lizard passed by. If not for the support of the corpses of their dead comrades, they would have starved to death long ago. ¡°The desert forest next to us is occupied by a stinky octopus!¡± Burton said angrily. There were many creatures in the desert forest, and the resources there were extremely rich. Unfortunately, there was a very big octopus there, so they did not dare to go near it. ¡°Leader, why don¡¯t we go to the desert forest and try our luck? Anyway, that big octopus usually stays in the water.¡± The attacker next to them continued. They were really too hungry. Wealth came with danger. If they avoided the tentacles of the big octopus, then they would not have to worry about food for the next few months. ¡°Good! Comrades, I, Burton, will definitely lead everyone to become the strongest tribe in the death desert! ¡°Now, if anyone agrees to go to the desert forest, gently wave your powerful jaws!¡± Burton shouted loudly. Kacha, kacha, kacha¡­ Countless sounds rang out in the sand, and one by one, the attackers slithered out from the sand. Without exception, the attackers of the Sharp Blade Tribe were already hungry and thirsty! They wanted food! ¡°Then, let¡¯s move forward!¡± Burton took the lead and headed toward the desert forest, followed by a large group of attackers. The desert forest was not too far from the Sharp Blade Tribe, only about ten kilometers away. To these attackers who were eager for food, their speed was simply outrageous. However, even if they sped up their journey, they still had to walk for half a day. There was nothing they could do. After all, the attackers were slow to begin with. ¡°Leader, we¡¯re here,¡± the sand dune raider reminded Burton who was beside him. Burton looked at the lush green desert forest. This was a rare treasure in the desert. ¡°Send two companions up to investigate,¡± Burton said. Although they had to take a risk, they could not go on a rampage. What if they were completely wiped out by the giant octopus? The elite raider nodded. He led one of his companions underground and headed toward the desert forest. In the desert forest¡­ ¡°That stinky octopus is gone,¡± the scout raider said. ¡°Look carefully. What if he¡¯s watching us from the shadows?¡± The elite attacker was more cautious. He had to be careful in this mission, or the Sharp Blade Tribe would be completely wiped from this death desert. ¡°Look over there!¡± The scout attacker stared in front of him with his eyes wide open. ¡°What is it?¡± The elite raider looked at the scout in confusion. What did he see?! A white and delicious human! At this moment, Hu Tao was walking barefoot by the lake, occasionally sitting down to play with the water. Although she looked calm and composed now, in fact, her legs could not help but tremble. In the dark¡­ ¡°Brother, are you sure that the group of attackers will fall for such an obvious trap?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er whispered in Zhang Yang¡¯s ear. ¡°Of course, don¡¯t underestimate the greed of wild beasts.¡± Zhang Yang and the others had long noticed the attackers hiding in the ground. Underground¡­ ¡°It¡¯s too fragrant. Why don¡¯t we eat them here?¡± The scouts and attackers all wanted to take the human in front of them for themselves first. As for the matter of the tribe, they put it aside for the time being. ¡°Stupid! What if the other party is a powerful human cultivator?¡± The elite raider was more cautious. Among the humans, it was the tribe that was most likely to give birth to powerful people because there were too many of them. ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like it.¡± The scout raider blinked his eyes. Hu Tao, who was in front of him was obviously a harmless human. How could he be a mage? Besides, did they not say that human cultivators would take some strange weapons? ¡°Let¡¯s go back and report to the leader first. Let the leader decide.¡± The elite attackers left with the scouts. Chapter 30 ¡°The fish has taken the bait.¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s lips curled upward. Is this not just the bait? At the same time¡­ ¡°What¡¯s the situation inside?¡± Burton saw that his companion had returned and hurriedly asked. ¡°Leader, the big octopus inside has disappeared. There¡¯s now a human girl.¡± The elite raider told Burton the truth. Regarding the matter of the scouts wanting to keep it for themselves, they did not tell him. The current Sharp Blade Tribe could not afford any conflicts. ¡°The giant octopus is missing. Is there now a human?¡± Burton frowned. He had never heard of an octopus turning into a human. He had heard of high-level magical beasts that could turn into humans from a young age. However, those high-level magical beasts could not appear in the yellow wind desert. The last story about such a powerful magical beast was more than a hundred years ago. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Burton immediately gave the order. It was necessary for the blade tribe to fight for their lives. In the desert forest¡­ A large group of sand dune raiders entered the forest. The initially flat ground became a little uneven. Just as they entered the desert forest, Burton saw the little human lgirl that his subordinate had mentioned. ¡°Great beast god from above! Bless your loyal believers, the Sharp Blade tribe, to return with a full harvest this time.¡± Burton began to pray to the gods above him, hoping that they would be safe this time. When the prayers ended, Burton¡¯s gaze turned sharp. ¡°This time, no matter what it is, it won¡¯t be able to stop the Sharp Blade Tribe!¡± ¡°The Sharp Blade Tribe! We are eternally immortal! Even if the giant dragon is in front of us, it will only be eaten!¡± Just as he finished speaking¡­ Burton led the entire tribe to appear and said, ¡°Stinky octopus! Come out!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Hu Tao was shocked when he saw such an ugly creature like Burton. He hurriedly turned around and fled. ¡°Leader, can we?¡± The other attackers stared at Hu Tao¡¯s back. Their saliva was already slobbering onto the ground. However, Burton paused and did not give the order for a long time. As subordinates, they did not dare to charge forward. After confirming that the octopus did not seem to be around, Burton led the tribe and charged toward Hu Tao. ¡°Charge!¡± ¡°Woohoo! I¡¯m coming succulent humans!¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to eat! It¡¯s time to eat!¡± ¡°Charge!¡± The attackers were extremely crazy. They had suppressed themselves for too long! Boom!!! At this moment, a huge tentacle that was over 100 meters long ruthlessly struck out in front of them, blocking their path. It stirred up a thick layer of dust. ¡°Damn it! Big octopus! It really is your trap!¡± Burton looked left and right, and the escape route behind him was also blocked by Chuan¡¯s tentacles. Right now, the Sharp Edge Tribe was completely surrounded by Chuan¡¯s tentacles. However, fortunately, they knew how to burrow into the ground, so they were not too worried. ¡°Stinky octopus! The desert forest was initially our territory, but you occupied it!¡± Burton roared at Chuan. It was this bandit, Chuan, who had taken this place. Initially, the Sharp Blade Tribe relied on this desert forest to become a large tribe with more than a thousand people. Who would have thought that there would be a quietly growing stone-talon hiding in the lake? When Chuan had reached a certain level of development, he made an appearance and completely taken over this territory. The thousand or so attackers of the Sharp Blade Tribe could not stop him. After all, the difference in strength was too great. After being chased out of the desert forest, the number of the Sharp Blade tribe had drastically decreased, leaving only a hundred or so left. ¡°Hmph! A bunch of filthy creatures that only know how to live in the soil. This time, it¡¯s not me who is stopping you but it¡¯s my great master!¡± Chuan¡¯s bulging head gradually lowered, revealing Zhang Yang and Zhang Xue¡¯er behind him. ¡°This is¡­ a giant dragon!¡± When Burton saw Zhang Yang¡¯s dazzling figure, he almost fell to his knees. How could such a powerful human cultivator appear here! The last time a human powerhouse appeared, it scared them quite a bit. That battle was earth-shattering. It made all the creatures in the yellow desert remember the figure of a human powerhouse forever. This time, the human powerhouse appeared again. Even if this human in front of him was far from the human powerhouse from a hundred years ago, he was still a human cultivator! After all, he could fly. ¡°Lowly reptiles, what were you talking about just now? ¡°Do we cultivators get to be eaten in front of you?¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s every word struck directly at Burton¡¯s heart, and that terrifying might engulfed the entire scene. Even Chuan, who was below, almost knelt down. This was Zhang Yang¡¯s warning. This was the true might. Do not play any tricks under his nose. ¡°Great¡­ great cultivator, you¡­ you must have heard wrongly.¡± Burton¡¯s six legs were trembling. He was just casually speaking as how could there really be a human powerhouse here? A human cultivator actually came to such a godforsaken place! Even though it was a high and mighty beast god, it still was good at joking with its own believers. ¡°Did I hear wrong? Does that mean you still doubt my ears?¡± The flames in Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes gradually flared up, and the flames on his body became more and more dazzling. It seemed that he had reached the edge of anger. ¡°No, no, no! Great cultivator! It¡¯s not that you¡¯ve misheard, but it¡¯s just that my foul mouth has said something wrong. ¡°I hope that you, the god of the human world, can ignore me, this filthy bug!¡± Burton hurriedly changed his words. Zhang Yang¡¯s words had really scared him to the point of wetting himself on the spot. Meanwhile, the blade tribe behind Burton was completely dumbfounded. ¡®Boss, where did your imposing manner of slaughtering a dragon go?!¡¯ Did they not say that the blade tribe would be eternally immortal? It seemed like they were about to be exterminated! ¡°Forgive you? Are you reptiles preparing to burrow into the ground and escape?¡± Zhang Yang saw through the intentions of the blade tribe with a single glance, as all of them prepared to escape. ¡°No, no, no! Great cultivator, under your brilliant gaze, who among us dares to escape!¡± Burton immediately sent out a special signal, telling the Sharp Blade Tribe not to think about escaping. If they tried to escape in front of such a powerful cultivator, they would definitely be annihilated. No one knew how powerful this cultivator was. What if he was as terrifying as he was a hundred years ago? ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhang Yang descended in front of Burton. His huge aura contracted as he stared at Burton. ¡°Disgusting bedbugs. Brother, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense. They were insulting us just now. ¡°These bedbugs should all be killed! There¡¯s no need to waste words on them!¡± This was the first time that Zhang Xue¡¯er had developed a sense of disgust toward a creature. The appearance of the sand dune raiders were simply too disgusting. Having inherited the aesthetic standards that his cheat had imparted to him, Chuan was barely able to take a look. However, this group of sand dune raiders really could not stand it any longer. ¡°Brilliant eyes? Hehe, go on.¡± Zhang Yang smiled coldly. Although he also liked to be praised by others, strictly speaking, he was a low-level human in his previous life. It was enough to simply listen to this kind of vanity praise. If his father praised him, he could merely smile. ¡°This¡­¡± Burton was at a loss for a moment. Did they not say that human cultivators liked to be praised the most? This was different from what his grandfather had said! Burton¡¯s grandfather had once followed a human cultivator, and that cultivator liked to be praised the most. Regarding this, Burton was also convinced. He did not expect that today, when facing a human cultivator, it would actually cause such a scene. Grandfather! You lied to your grandson! Chapter 31 ¡°What? You have nothing to say?¡± Zhang Yang walked around Burton. This kind of bug man was really like the spade beetle in his previous life. ¡°Let me say it for you. I don¡¯t like compliments from strangers. I only like the actual actions of strangers.¡± Zhang Yang suddenly stopped, and a burning pressure was directed at Burton. ¡°I understand! Your Majesty, the great cultivator, you are the life goal of our blade tribe! ¡°You are our new faith! We will use our blood to build a true empire for you!¡± Burton quickly understood what Zhang Yang meant, and he knelt on the ground, shivering. The blade tribe behind him also knelt under his instructions, not daring to move. The pressure was like a sharp sword hanging above their heads. If they were not careful, their lives would be taken away. ¡°Hmph!¡± The corners of Zhang Yang¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that being strong was indeed very popular. It was especially because that pressure could face any living being without any obstacles. ¡®Since they want to establish a country, I¡¯ll play with them. Magical Beast Country, how interesting.¡¯ ¡°Tell me, how long has your blade tribe lived here?¡±Zhang Yang asked. Burton said without hesitation, ¡°More than five hundred years.¡± ¡°More than five hundred years? You look like you just came of age,¡± Zhang Yang said as he sized up Burton. Burton hurriedly replied respectfully, ¡°No, no, no. Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. The blade tribe has indeed lived for more than five hundred years. ¡°I am the sixth leader, Burton.¡± ¡°Does this mean that you are very familiar with this Yellow Wind Desert?¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes flashed with a bright light. Perhaps the blade tribe had heard of the Desert Palace. ¡°Familiar, of course I must be familiar! Your Majesty, there is nothing in the yellow wind desert that I, Burton, do not know!¡± Burton looked at him with joy. Could it be that his majesty cultivator was here to understand the Yellow Wind Desert? Then, he was definitely qualified to be this guide! ¡®With 500 years of experience in the blade tribe, who would understand the Yellow Wind Desert better than me?¡¯ ¡°Really? Then do you know the Desert Palace?¡± Zhang Yang looked at Burton and said, ¡°Desert Palace?!¡± Burton¡¯s pupils shrank in fear, as if he had seen something terrifying. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯ve lived for 500 years and you don¡¯t even know about the Desert Palace?¡± Zhang Yang noticed the change in Burton¡¯s gaze, as if the desert palace was some sort of taboo. ¡°No¡­ no, your majesty, I¡¯m just very surprised. There was a cultivator who looked for it a hundred years ago. ¡°And from what you¡¯re saying, are you also here to look for the Desert Palace?¡± Burton felt that all of this was too much of a coincidence. ¡°A human cultivator?¡± Celine was a little puzzled. Could it be that other than herself, there was someone else who had also seen that scene and coincidentally, that person was also a cultivator? ¡°Yes, the Desert Palace is a legend of our yellow wind desert. ¡°Legend has it that a long time ago, the yellow wind desert was not the land of this continent. It was originally the residence of the gods. ¡°Legend also has it that it was the backyard garden of the great Death God. It was just that the gods of the realm had a great battle. ¡°By accident, the Yellow Wind Desert was defeated by the gods and fell into this continent. ¡°The Desert Palace was his wealth. As long as he found the Desert Palace, he could obtain the treasure of the Death God. ¡°Since ancient times, many adventurers have come here. In the end, they all turned into skeletons. ¡°A hundred years ago, a human cultivator named the calamity star led her forces here. ¡°After she heard the legend, she decided to look for the Desert Palace. In the end, another group of people came, and they had a big battle. ¡°At the end of it, the calamity star was defeated, and the Yellow Wind Desert regained its silence.¡± Burton told the story of what happened in the Yellow Wind Desert. Among them, Zhang Yang was extremely familiar with this calamity star wing. Was that not Li Zhe¡¯s title?! ¡°Brother, the calamity star seems to be elder Li Zhe¡¯s title.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er finally understood why Li Zhe told them to come here. It was to find the treasure of the Death God. ¡°Hm.¡± Zhang Yang finally understood why Li Zhe had called him to such a place. It turned out to be a treasure! It was the treasure of the Death God! Among the gods, the Death God was a god of a higher level that even the Beast God was overpowered by him. Although the Beast God was the god of the demon beasts, in fact, it was only at the middle and upper level among the gods. To put it bluntly, the Beast God was a person whose assets had just exceeded ten million, while the Death God was a person whose assets had long exceeded a hundred million. There was no comparison between the two. ¡°Do you know how to find the Desert Palace?¡± After Zhang Yang asked this question, he wanted to take it back. If Burton knew where the Desert Palace was, then he would have already taken the treasure of the Death God for himself. ¡°Your Majesty, I don¡¯t know where the Desert Palace is, but I have a piece of news about the Desert Palace.¡± Burton knew that this was his pledge to join Zhang Yang¡¯s family. ¡°News? Tell me about it.¡± Zhang Yang did not expect Burton to surprise him. Burton said, ¡°I heard that the desert witch has an incomplete map to the Desert Palace. Maybe that¡¯s a breakthrough.¡± ¡°The desert witch?¡± Zhang Yang had a headache when he heard that it was the desert witch. It was because the desert witch was very strong. Although the desert witch was strong, in his eyes, her strength was not that good. What really gave him a headache was that the desert witch was a kind of creature that was very difficult to see, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Moreover, she was very, very cautious. After she arrived at a certain place, she would never go back to that place again. Therefore, it was almost impossible to attract the desert witch to the desert forest. No matter how delicious Hu Tao¡¯s meat was, the desert witch would never fall for it. The desert witch¡¯s IQ was very high. It was because of this that they knew the soul control technique. The soul control technique was widely recognized as the most difficult, troublesome, and abstruse technique on the continent. Its power was also the most powerful, directly attacking the soul. It could be called a bug-level binding technique. Fortunately, his family¡¯s memory inheritance also had the soul control technique. However, the soul control technique was indeed difficult to learn. Even he found it difficult to learn. Even if he learned it, he would not use it often. Instead of chanting those complicated and obscure spells, he might as well use a punch. To get back to the main topic, even if he caught the desert witch, he would not be able to determine if she had a broken map on her. ¡°It¡¯s so troublesome.¡± For the first time, Zhang Yang felt that things were troublesome. Zhang Xue¡¯er saw Zhang Yang¡¯s impatience, so she said, ¡°Brother, we can conquer the entire Yellow Wind Desert first, and then find the desert witch. It¡¯s not too late.¡± They had plenty of time. Hence, what if it took a hundred years to conquer the desert? It was just a matter of going into seclusion. Zhang Yang nodded and said, ¡°Well, let¡¯s set a small goal to conquer this desert first!¡± Chapter 32 Zhang Yang looked down at Burton and said, ¡°Burton, I¡¯m going to give you a mission.¡± Burton hurriedly bent down and said excitedly, ¡°Just let me know, my great master!¡± The spring of the blade tribe was finally coming! Burton believed in it as long as he could follow Zhang Yang well. Let alone return to the time 500 years ago. One day, the Sharp Blade Tribe would reach an unprecedented height! ¡°How big is the Yellow Wind Desert to you?¡± Zhang Yang asked. Burton heard Zhang Yang¡¯s question and was a little confused, so he answered carefully, ¡°Currently, the Sharp Blade Tribe has yet to walk through the entire Yellow Wind Desert.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a month¡¯s time. I need a piece of land that is 500,000 square kilometers.¡± Zhang Yang did not make things too difficult for Burton. After all, the Sharp Blade Tribe only had a total of 100 people. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Great Master! Leave this small matter to our Sharp Blade Tribe!¡± Burton was initially a little troubled. 500,000 square kilometers was too big. It was basically impossible for him to do it with just his 100 plus people. However, when he thought about the first mission that Zhang Yang gave him, he would do his best to complete it no matter what. ¡°Very good. I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news. You can enjoy the food here to your heart¡¯s content.¡± ¡°However, the price is, if the territory is not reached, then you will become nourishment for my cultivation.¡± Zhang Yang had to give Burton a warning. He would not be in a good temper if he was to fail. ¡°Yes!¡± Burton gritted his teeth. Was it not just 500,000 square kilometers?! Cheers indeed! Seeing Burton¡¯s determination, Zhang Yang nodded his head in satisfaction. Now he needed to go into seclusion for a month, and the strength in his body had to rise to another level. Normally, a small increase did not require seclusion. However, if it was a small increase, then he had to rely on seclusion to level up. Otherwise, when his strength increased, it would be very easy to lose that portion of his strength. With the center of the forest as the nest, the Sharp Blade Tribe dug out a natural underground palace for Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was in seclusion there, and the aura on his body shrank as he breathed. During this month, in order to occupy as many territories as soon as possible, the first to bear the brunt were the other sand dune raider tribes. Those sand dune raider tribes had never seen anything as crazy as the Sharp Blade Tribe. Trading injuries for injuries. In the yellow wind desert, where resources were scarce, this was completely irrational. As a result, many sand dune raider tribes directly sought refuge with the blade tribe. The other party had good food and drinks, and it was said that they had the support of that leader. They could only eat sand, so what was the point of fighting? They could just seek refuge with the blade tribe. Anyway, the blade tribe did not want to kill them, as they just wanted to occupy a piece of land. As a result, more and more sand dune raiders joined the Sharp Blade Tribe, and the tribe grew stronger. From a tribe of only 100, the number had skyrocketed to 600 in half a month and the numbers were still climbing. It seemed that it would not take long for the number to surpass 1000. In the past, the Sharp Edge Tribe would not dare to accept so many raiders even if others joined them. After all, with more people, the tribe would have more expenses. Especially food, which was a rare resource in the barren sand. However, now, these problems were easily solved. With the desert forest as backup, they had an endless supply of food. Moreover, Hu Tao, the human, also taught them how to breed horned lizards. By hunting them, the horned lizards would soon disappear into the desert. Therefore, they had to be controlled and locked up together. Only by allowing them to reproduce on their own would they be able to progress step by step. Not only that, as some strong horned lizards were also used as mounts by Burton. In one month, the Sharp Blade Tribe led by Pepis had expanded the map to 800,000 square kilometers. It greatly exceeded the mission given by Zhang Yang. Zhang Xue¡¯er did not idle around either. When she was free, she would teach Hu Tao some of the locking and controlling techniques that her cheat had taught her. In Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s opinion, how could her brother¡¯s empire have a vase? What she did not know was that Hu Tao was really a vase that Zhang Yang had captured. She mainly wanted to study what this incarnation of the Goddess of Luck was. Underground¡­ A pair of scarlet eyes opened in the pitch-black cave, and the surrounding fire platforms were all set ablaze at this moment. A violent and terrifying aura enveloped the entire cave, and a wave-like pressure spread out in all directions. For a long time, all the living beings on land were so scared that they laid on the ground without moving. Even Zhang Xue¡¯er, a middle-rank cultivator with a cheat, found it hard to breathe under the pressure. ¡°Roar!¡± The Master of the Desert Forest woke up! [Host: Zhang Yang] [Level: High-rank (Second Rank)] [Constitution: 1,100] [Spells: 100 first-rank, 50 second-rank, 35 third-rank, 10 fourth-rank] [Talent: Extraordinary constitution (demigod-rank), breaking potential (god-rank), proficient in lock-type (spirit-rank)] [LSB Evaluation: you have now reached the threshold of the third stage and possess the capital to become a god] There seemed to be some changes in the division of abilities in this world. Humans were divided into five levels, and demon beasts were also divided into different levels. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the gap between high-level cultivators and middle-level cultivators to be so big. But what is this second level?¡± Zhang Yang was secretly speechless when he saw the data. His previous data had already surpassed ordinary cultivators by a large margin. In the end, the current data was still a short distance away from the top cultivators. Did that mean that the difference between the immortals and even the divine lords would become greater and greater? No wonder the records of the sect all said that no cultivator had ever successfully challenged a cultivator of a higher level. At this time, Zhang Yang thought of Li Zhe. He had just stabilized his foundation, yet he dared to challenge a slightly higher level cultivator. It was really lucky that he did not die. ¡°A month has passed. I wonder how much Burton has expanded its territory.¡± Zhang Yang muttered in his heart. As he was in a deep sleep, he did not know anything about the outside world. ¡°Brother!¡± At this moment, Zhang Xue¡¯er ran into the Dragon Cave happily. The first thing she did after hearing that Zhang Yang had woken up was to rush into the cave without hesitation. ¡°Oh¡­ What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Xilin let out a symbolic sigh, and the light on his body became more and more dazzling. After staying in seclusion for a month, he had only grown to rank one of cultivation base. She had thought that he would grow at least two ranks. ¡°Brother, you really didn¡¯t misjudge Burton. He spent a month and successfully conquered 800,000 square kilometers of territory and accidentally discovered a new desert forest.¡± ¡°The number of the Sharp Blade Tribe has already exceeded 1,000, including newborn cubs. ¡°Oh right, brother, I also taught Hu Tao how to use the mid-grade lock bending technique.¡± At this point, Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s body was shaking non-stop. It was as if she was a puppy saying, ¡®Quick! Praise me!¡¯ ¡°Hu Tao? Why did you teach her the lock bending technique?¡± Zhang Yang did not think that Zhang Xue¡¯er would have the time to teach Hu Tao the lock bending technique. Usually, did Zhang Xue¡¯er not have a look of disdain toward Hu Tao? ¡°It¡¯s like this, brother. As an empire that you built, how would you be able to support idle people? ¡°Hence, I thought about it and taught Hu Tao a few common lock bending techniques. In the end, her talent was not bad, and she learned them all.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was also a little surprised at Hu Tao¡¯s talent. An ordinary cultivator needed to learn a level one lock bending technique for about a week. However, Hu Tao only used an hour. Although she was not very familiar with it, she did learn it. ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows. Hu Tao was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. Her cultivation talent could not be that bad. This was nothing to be surprised about. On the other hand, Burton had expanded his territory by 800,000 square kilometers, which made him a little surprised. Among them, he also found another desert forest, which was an important resource. In any case, Zhang Yang decided that he would not leave the Yellow Wind Desert until he found the desert palace. Chapter 33 ¡°Why didn¡¯t Burton come to see me?¡± Zhang Yang saw that Burton had not come to see his master for a long time. ¡°Burton has just left the desert forest, but after hearing about the strange phenomenon caused by you coming out of seclusion, I believe that he will come back soon.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er explained. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yang nodded and brought Zhang Xue¡¯er out of the crypt. The interior of the crypt was similar to the imperial palace outside. There were many combustible candlesticks placed around it. As long as Zhang Yang slightly emitted the aura of ignition, the candlesticks could be lit by themselves. As soon as they walked out of the crypt, the dazzling sunlight above their heads shone directly into Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes. However, the eyes of cultivators were different from those of ordinary people, so there was nothing strange about it. ¡°Greetings to our honorable master, the Immortal King!¡± The attackers who were still in the desert forest gathered and looked up at Zhang Yang¡¯s tall body. ¡°Greetings, Master!¡± At this moment, a deep voice emerged from the bottom of the lake, revealing his huge body. It was worth mentioning that the bigger the size of this continent, the more powerful it was. It mainly depended on the specific combat strength. Zhang Yang¡¯s gaze swept over the attackers one by one. Excluding the attackers that Burton took away, there were roughly over 200 attackers here. Most of them were females, carrying a newborn attacker on their backs. It seemed that the number of 1,000 was a little conservative. ¡°From today onward, my empire will be officially established! Its name will be Knox!¡± Zhang Yang directly copied the name of an empire from a game in his memory. ¡°Long live, Knox!!!¡± ¡°Long live, Knox!!!¡± ¡°Long live, Knox!! ¡± ¡°¡­¡± All the family members in the surroundings shouted to the sky, ¡°Long live, Knox!¡±. The slogan resounded through the sky! It was as if even the natural gods could hear it. Initially, Zhang Yang wanted to use Sorima. After all, they were in the desert. However, he did not feel that it was as domineering as Knox. Despite that, he could change the name of the empire whenever he wanted. What? Why do you ask? Zhang Yang was the ruler of the empire. Hence, who would dare to refute his opinion? Was that not courting death? ¡°Great majesty! Your humble servant is late! Please forgive him!¡± At this moment, Burton was the first to rush back with his team of horned lizards. The first thing he did when he arrived beside Zhang Yang was to jump down and kneel on the ground. ¡°Forgive you? No, Burton, not only do I have to forgive you, but I also have to reward you,¡± Zhang Yang said slowly. Burton was ecstatic when he heard that. Initially, he thought that he would be punished when he heard the first half of Zhang Yang¡¯s sentence. However, he did not expect that not only was there no punishment, but there was also a reward! ¡°Thank you, for your reward, Your Majesty! Even if your reward is saliva, it will still be the biggest reward for me!¡± Burton said fervently. ¡°Hmph, saliva? Forget it, I am not that disgusting.¡±Zhang Yang¡¯s mouth twitched. Although high-level cultivators were said to be full of treasures, using saliva to reward their relatives¡­ it was better to forget it. ¡°Burton! Leader of the Sharp Blade Tribe! The Sharp Blade of Knox! The first warrior to charge forward! ¡°I hereby bestow upon you the title of Crystal Vanguard as well as a bloodline upgrade!¡± After Zhang Yang finished speaking, a piece of dragon scale in the ring melted and fell to the ground. That piece of dragon scale quickly turned into a red crystal that was similar to a stone. This was formed from a trace of the bloodline of a red dragon that Zhang Yang had picked up previously. It could help low-level magical beasts upgrade their own bloodline. It was said that dragons used this method to increase the strength of their spawns. However, this reward was very rare. After all, dragons usually did not care about the strength of their spawns¡¯ bloodline. ¡®If your bloodline is low, then I¡¯ll just find a higher one. Why do I have to find you?¡¯ However, Zhang Yang was not a dragon. He felt that as the first pioneer among the spawns, Burton was qualified to obtain this opportunity to improve his bloodline. ¡°This is¡­¡± Burton¡¯s breathing became rapid. He never thought that his majesty would be willing to give him the bloodline ice crystal. ¡°Thank you, for your reward, Your Majesty! Your body will always exist in my soul!¡± Burton was so excited that he did not know what to say. He directly offered his soul to Zhang Yang. From now on, his soul only belonged to Zhang Yang. ¡°I hope you won¡¯t let me down,¡± Zhang Yang said faintly. ¡°Please, don¡¯t worry!¡± Burton pressed his head on the ground. Zhang Yang looked down at his subordinates and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Burton stretched out his trembling six legs and grabbed the bloodline ice crystal that Zhang Yang had given him. The bloodline ice crystal emitted a red light, like a rare gem. In fact, it was more precious than a gem. With Zhang Yang¡¯s permission, Burton inserted the bloodline ice crystal into his abdomen. ¡°Ah!¡± The bloodline ice crystal quickly dissolved on the flesh on Burton¡¯s abdomen and drilled into the depths. The burning pain made Burton scream. The wound on his abdomen was charred and white smoke was rising from it. Crack! The bloodline ice crystal was completely swallowed by Burton in his abdomen. A terrifying energy was being nurtured in his body. Boom!!! With Burton as the center, a visible wave spread out in all directions. Zhang Yang immediately opened up a shield to block Hu Tao, so that she was not blown away. The other attackers were almost blown away by this powerful wave, and had no choice but to drill half of their bodies into the ground. A coquettish purple light bloomed on Burton¡¯s abdomen! The skin on his entire body turned into something like an amethyst, and a curved tail grew out of his butt. His thick jaw gradually shrank back, and his body expanded to seven meters. ¡°Greetings, Your Majesty!¡± Burton had completed his evolution, and now he could feel the invincible power on his body. [Name: Burton] [Creature: Purple Raider (Chaos Evil) Adult] [Attack: 299] [Defense: 210] [Speed: 110] [Constitution: 300] [Item: None] [Spell: None] [Innate skill: Hard shell (spirit rank)] [Abilities: Bite, Crystal Poison Needle, Crystal Scorpion Armor, Human form ] [Remarks: a very powerful mutant] ¡®What a guy!¡¯ A bloodline ice crystal was able to make Burton¡¯s stats equal to that of a middle-rank cultivator. However, that was only the stats of an ordinary cultivator. He was still far from being a true genius cultivator. Furthermore, Burton was already an adult. In the crypt¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Your Majesty. During this month, I did not find any traces of the desert witch.¡± Burton was currently half-kneeling on the ground in his human form. His human form was his unique skill, but in reality, he was far from being a human. Have you ever seen a person wearing an amethyst outfit and was full of sharp teeth? ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Zhang Yang did not blame Burton. The desert witch¡¯s whereabouts were erratic, so it was normal that they could not find her. Only Zhang Yang¡¯s relatives were qualified to enter the crypt. Among them were Zhang Xue¡¯er, Hu Tao, Burton, and Chuan. However, Chuan¡¯s body was too big, so he could not get in at all. ¡°I heard that you found another desert forest?¡± Zhang Yang was interested. ¡°Yes, Your Majesty. That desert forest is ownerless. ¡°A batch of our troops are stationed there, waiting for your decision,¡± Burton said. Zhang Yang laid on the leather of the horned lizard and said, ¡°I¡¯m too lazy to go to that place. Xue¡¯er, go and take a look.¡± Chapter 34 ¡°Ah? I¡¯ll be going?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was a little surprised that her brother would ask her to go. ¡°Well, you can¡¯t stay here all day. It¡¯s good to go out for a walk.¡± Zhang Yang felt that it was better to arrange something for Zhang Xue¡¯er to do since she looked like she had nothing to do. ¡°Okay, brother!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was very excited now. It was finally a serious mission. After a simple meeting, Burton and Zhang Xue¡¯er left the place. ¡°Hu Tao, I heard that Xue¡¯er taught you magic?¡± Zhang Yang finally turned his gaze back to the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. ¡°Yes, Your Majesty.¡± Hu Tao was no longer that little stutterer. After all, she had faced this lord for a period of time. As long as Zhang Yang did not fly into a rage or release Wei Ya, Hu Tao could barely stand up. ¡°What kind of lock bending technique did you learn?¡± Zhang Yang asked. Hu Tao replied, ¡°I learned water bending and fire bending techniques.¡± Yes¡­ Zhang Yang knew right away that it was Zhang Xue¡¯er who taught him. Zhang Xue¡¯er specialized in those two kinds of lock bending techniques. Human lock bending techniques were basically all lock bending techniques that could be learned, but most cultivators developed them individually. For example, Zhang Yang mainly used fire-type bending techniques. Even if he knew water-type bending techniques, he would rarely use them. It was because he did not like water! Zhang Yang, however, was an anomaly. He wanted to become a cultivator who was proficient in all kinds of lock-type bending techniques. ¡°Show me your Scarlet Flames,¡± Zhang Yang said. Scarlet Flames was a must-learn fire-type bending technique for fire-type lock-type bending masters. ¡°Ah? To you? Your Majesty, this¡­¡± Hearing this, Hu Tao was a little confused. Was His Majesty self-harming? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m a high-level cultivator. Your Scarlet Flame won¡¯t work on me,¡± Zhang Yang said disdainfully. Basically, low-level fire-type lock-bending techniques were ineffective on Zhang Yang, unless it was a particularly powerful fire-bending technique. What hurt Zhang Yang was not the flames, but the impact of the explosion of the flames. ¡°Alright, then.¡± Seeing that His Majesty did not care, Hu Tao could not refuse anymore. Hu Tao crossed her hands and clenched them into fists, silently accumulating his elemental energy. Boiling¡­ A scorching water ball that was one meter wide condensed in front of Hu Tao. This was a self-created move that Hu Tao had combined with the water and fire double lock bending technique. Then, the water ball attacked Zhang Yang¡¯s dark red clothes. Bang! The fireball hit Zhang Yang¡¯s clothes firmly, raising a cloud of black fog. ¡°Your Majesty!¡± Hu Tao cried out in panic. In the next moment, Zhang Yang gently waved his hand, and the black fog dissipated in the surroundings. ¡°What are you shouting for? With that little water ball of yours, you might as well take a comfortable bath in hot water.¡± Zhang Yang was a little speechless. Looking at how long she had been accumulating energy, he had thought that it was some powerful spell. He did not expect that in the end, it would not be as hot as bathing in hot water. ¡°Isn¡¯t that because your body is too strong¡­¡± Hu Tao¡¯s two pure white fingers poked each other, and her expression was a little aggrieved. He had thought that His Majesty would be slightly injured and be on tenterhooks. He had almost forgotten about his majesty¡¯s terrifying physique. ¡°It just so happens that you know Scarlet Flames. Come over and treat it as a bathe for me.¡± Zhang Yang turned his back to Hu Tao. Usually, after he finished exercising, he would go back and take a comfortable bath in the hot water. However, now that he had come to the yellow desert, it had been a long time since he had taken a bath. The conditions did not allow it. Now that Hu Tao could boil hot water, she could use her boiling water skills. ¡°Ah?!¡± Hu Tao felt that there was something wrong with His Majesty¡¯s thinking. He used the lock bending technique to take a bath. This should be the first time in the entire continent, right? Even other cultivators would not do that. However, His Majesty¡¯s orders were absolute. Hu Tao had no choice but to take up the role of Zhang Yang¡¯s bath attendant. On the other side¡­ Zhang Xue¡¯er was flying toward the new desert forest. Below, Burton led his cavalry to follow after her, stirring up layers of sand and dust. Burton rode on the horned lizard and shouted at Zhang Xue¡¯er in the sky, ¡°Your Highness Xue¡¯er! There¡¯s still some distance to the desert forest, do you want to take a break?¡± This was something that Zhang Xue¡¯er had arranged herself. It was a little too early to call her ¡®Her Highness¡¯ or ¡®the empress¡¯, and it would be uncomfortable for the others to call her that way. Hence, she found it pretty good. While they were riding on the horned lizard, Her Highness Zhang Xue¡¯er was flying in the sky. It made Burton feel a little embarrassed. ¡°No, need!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er lowered her altitude. At the same time, she had made some new discoveries. When they returned to Knox, she had to report to her brother. The cavalry followed them all the way and finally arrived at the new desert forest in half an hour. ¡°Ha!¡± The horned lizard was stopped by Burton and it let out an ear-piercing cry. ¡°It¡¯s Your Highness Xue¡¯er.¡± Burton jumped down from the horned lizard and held the horned lizard¡¯s hand as they walked. Zhang Xue¡¯er also landed on the ground. In front of them was a lush desert forest. ¡°Hello, leader Burton! Hello, Your Highness Xue¡¯er!¡± The attacker who was guarding this forest greeted the two of them. Zhang Xue¡¯er and Burton casually muttered, ¡°Hmm.¡±Then, they walked into the desert forest. ¡°Your Highness Xue¡¯er, this forest is only about ten hectares, slightly smaller than the original desert forest.¡± Burton handed the horned lizard to the other attackers and reported the situation to Zhang Xue¡¯er. ¡°Yes, I smell a strange smell.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er suddenly stopped and sniffed. ¡°Yes, your Highness Xue¡¯er. We found some traces left by other predators here.¡± Burton brought Xue¡¯er to an open space where there were three assailant handles. In the middle of the open space, there was a pile of fire that still had a trace of temperature. It looked like it had just been extinguished not long ago. A demon beast without intelligence could not start a fire. Therefore, it appeared to be an intelligent demon beast. Zhang Xue¡¯er was very familiar with the auras of the assailants, human cultivators, and Chuan. This smell was different from their bodies. It was a new unknown magical beast! ¡°In this desert, do you know of any other tribes?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er turned her head and asked Burton. Burton thought for a moment and quickly said, ¡°Yes, in the northern part of the Yellow Wind Desert, it is currently occupied by a group of powerful Explosive Teeth Tribe.¡± ¡°Explosive Teeth Tribe? What magical beast was it founded by?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er asked in puzzlement. ¡°A group of turtles with spiny shells. What kind of race exactly?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. The Sharp Blade Tribe has never been to the north to deal with them.¡± Burton shook his head. He only knew that it was a group of turtles. ¡°Turtles with spiny shells that lives in the desert.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er quickly asked her cheat. She immediately knew of several similar turtle races. Since she had not seen that race, Zhang Xue¡¯er did not dare to confirm what it was. ¡°Then, is it possible that they left this behind?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er blew a breath of cold air, freezing the fire that was still warm. ¡°It¡¯s possible. After all, this place is already close to the northern region.¡± Burton nodded. ¡°It¡¯s possible? Burton, your intelligence work is really good.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er ridiculed him in amusement. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Your Highness Xue¡¯er! It¡¯s my negligence!¡± Burton quickly half-knelt on the ground, hoping that Zhang Xue¡¯er could forgive him. ¡°Enough, compared to brother, I hate verbal actions. Instead, I prefer actual actions.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a Explosive Teeth Tribe in the north. Go and call them!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er said fiercely. ¡°But Your Highness Xue¡¯er, we have to first apply for his Majesty¡¯s opinion.¡± Burton said fearfully. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go back now and come back immediately. You just need to gather the troops.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er instantly flew into the sky and disappeared in front of Burton¡¯s eyes. ¡°Understood!¡± Burton turned around to organize the troops to prepare for the attack. Chapter 35 Back in Knox¡­ ¡°It¡¯s been so long since I¡¯ve taken a bath.¡± Behind the screen, Hu Tao was using boiling skill with great effort. Hu Tao was already drenched in sweat, and the magic power in her body was almost depleted. It was fortunate that she was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. Otherwise, if it was an ordinary person, their magic power would have long been exhausted. ¡°Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah¡­¡± Hu Tao was panting heavily. She was boiling the water with one hand and wiping the sweat off her red cheeks with the other. ¡°Alright, it looks like you¡¯re going to die soon,¡± Celine said as she turned her body sideways. Seeing that His Majesty had finally recovered, Hu Tao collapsed onto the ground in an instant. It was too tiring. ¡°Don¡¯t look so exhausted. I¡¯m training your lock bending technique.¡± ¡°Are you getting more and more familiar with it now?¡± Celine smiled lightly. She put on her clothes and slowly walked out from behind the screen. After taking a shower, she could also help Hu Tao familiarize herself with the lock bending technique. This method was simply killing two birds with one stone. ¡°Thank¡­ thank you, Your Majesty.¡± Hu Tao could not hold on any longer. She fell to the ground motionlessly, like a flower that had been destroyed. ¡°Brother!¡± At this moment, Zhang Xue¡¯er entered the bathroom and saw Hu Tao in this state. ¡°What happened to her?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was slightly puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. She just used too much magic power. How¡¯s the investigation of the new desert forest going?¡± Zhang Yang changed the topic. ¡°Oh, right, brother. The size of the new desert forest is only ten hectares. ¡°However, we found traces of other tribes there. I heard from Burton that there is a Explosive Teeth Tribe in the north. I¡¯m planning to attack them now. ¡°Hence, I came back to ask for your instructions.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er spoke excitedly as this was her first battle. It was also her first time leading troops to battle! She was too eager! ¡°Explosive teeth tribe?¡± Zhang Yang tilted his head. Zhang Xue¡¯er immediately explained the race of the explosive teeth tribe to Zhang Yang. ¡°A turtle with a barbed shell? Interesting, but are you sure you can win?¡± Zhang Yang said with a chuckle. The strength of the attacker was not bad, but as the explosive teeth tribe still occupied the north, it seemed a little immature. If Zhang Yang went alone, he would definitely be able to take them down immediately. However, Zhang Yang would not go, at least not at this moment. Why was he raising his family? It was not because he did not want to do anything himself. If he had to do everything himself, then why did he need the identity of the emperor? ¡°Of course, brother! I¡¯m here!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was afraid that Zhang Yang would look down on her, so she puffed out her chest and raised her head to show her confidence. Zhang Yang said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll allow this battle. However, the leader must be Burton.¡± As the leader, Burton¡¯s experience in leading troops in battle was much better than Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s. This was the first time for Zhang Xue¡¯er and she should go and learn, instead of rushing to lead troops. ¡°¡­ Alright.¡± At first, Zhang Xue¡¯er was very excited that her brother had agreed, but in the end, the leader was actually Burton. ¡°Don¡¯t be disappointed. You can become the next leader.¡± Zhang Yang came to Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s side and used his right hand to lift Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s chin. ¡°Alright, then.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er almost blushed. Fortunately, her long bangs covered this layer of redness for her. After watching Zhang Xue¡¯er leave, Zhang Yang also wanted to see how the operation at the top was going. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Hu Tao.¡± When Zhang Yang passed Hu Tao, he had to use his right hand to lift him up. The aura on his body could be freely contracted, hence he did not have to worry about hurting the unconscious Hu Tao. On the ground¡­ The moment Zhang Yang came out, he breathed in fresh air and directly threw Hu Tao over his right hand into the small pool. This was dug by Zhang Xue¡¯er herself and used for her bath. Perhaps it was because of her bloodline, her lifestyle was more inclined toward cleanliness. Splash! Hu Tao successfully fell into the water. ¡°Save me, Your Majesty! I don¡¯t know how to swim!¡± Hu Tao¡¯s initially exhausted body suddenly regained its strength. ¡°Oh right, I almost forgot.¡± Zhang Yang had even forgotten that Hu Tao did not know how to swim. Hence, he picked Hu Tao up. The poor Hu Tao¡¯s body had long been drenched by the water. As they were in a desert and the weather was hot, the clothes that Hu Tao wore were relatively light and thin. Coupled with being soaked by the water, the dark red blob on her body was faintly discernible. The body that belonged to a young girl¡¯s aura was fully displayed, but it was a pity that it was too small. ¡°Ah!¡± Hu Tao also noticed this. Her face, which was already dyed red, became even redder. ¡°What are you hiding?¡± Zhang Yang pretended to be disdainful. In fact, her heart was beating faster, as if she was already old enough to get married. Seeing that Zhang Yang did not care at all, Hu Tao seemed to be at a loss. Did Grandma say that those high-level cultivators liked to do that kind of thing with human girls? ¡°Hurry up and change your clothes. Although it¡¯s easy to dry in the desert, don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Zhang Yang opened the invisible barrier to shield Hu Tao. In fact, all his eyes were on Hu Tao. He was not a pervert. He just wanted to see what was special about the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck. That was right as it was just like that. ¡°But Your Majesty, I¡­¡± Hu Tao¡¯s face was red.She did not know what to say. ¡®You¡¯re staring at me, so how am I supposed to change my clothes!¡¯ Three minutes later¡­ White steam seemed to be coming out of Hu Tao¡¯s head. It was not just Hu Tao but it came from above the supreme stars. A goddess with wavy golden curly hair who emitted a dazzling light frowned slightly. Then, her white teeth and red lips moved slightly as she thought to herself, ¡®Damn hooligans!¡¯ Zhang Yang had no idea what had happened to the gods in the sky. In any case, he already had a feast for his eyes. ¡°Did you come up with the idea of raising horned lizards?¡± Zhang Yang saw that Hu Tao¡¯s face was still red, so he could only divert her attention. ¡°Yes, Your Majesty. When we were in the village, we raised some simple magical beasts to store food. ¡°This way, we don¡¯t have to take the risk of going out to hunt.¡± Hu Tao¡¯s attention was successfully diverted by Zhang Yang. He recalled the memories of his childhood in the village. It was just that¡­ the village should have been destroyed by that Lord. Was it because of this that he tried his best to become stronger? ¡°Well done.¡± Zhang Yang praised Hu Tao a little. When he heard His Majesty¡¯s praise, Hu Tao became a little embarrassed. She was embarrassed just now because she was shy, but now she was even more shy. The attackers piled up in small sand dunes nearby, which was their home. However, most of the sand dunes were outside the forest. After all, the sand dune attackers were more suitable to live in the desert. They came to the desert forest only to hunt other animals here. ¡°Your Majesty!¡± The raiders who were busy taking care of their children all said respectfully when they saw Zhang Yang¡¯s posture. ¡°You guys do your own thing, and don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Zhang Yang responded and brought Hu Tao to the side of the lake. Boom! Chuan quickly drilled out from the bottom of the lake after feeling Hu Tao¡¯s aura. ¡°Your Majesty!¡± Chuan said. Chapter 36 At the front line¡­ ¡°Your Highness Xue¡¯er!¡± Seeing that Zhang Xue¡¯er had returned, Burton immediately led his army and half-knelt on the ground as he shouted. ¡°Mm, brother has agreed, and has given you the command.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er said expressionlessly. ¡°Thank you, for Your Majesty¡¯s trust! Your humble servant will definitely conquer this piece of territory for him!¡± Burton said excitedly. He had never thought that His Majesty would trust him so much, giving him the command instead of Princess Xue¡¯er. This was the greatest trust and support! ¡°I hope you will not disappoint brother.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er still wanted to command in her heart. However, her brother¡¯s orders had already been given, so she had to obey. ¡°I will guarantee it with my life!¡± Burton¡¯s eyes were burning with a raging fire. It was the embodiment of his will to fight! ¡°Sharp Blade Tribe! Assemble!¡± Burton shouted. Rumble¡­ The earth seemed to have started to shake. More than 800 troops equipped with horned lizard cavalry had assembled. As long as Burton gave the order, the other side could attack the north! ¡°Your Highness Xue¡¯er! You should be the one to give the command!¡± Burton was very smart. Although Zhang Yang had given him the command, he still gave this glorious opportunity to Zhang Xue¡¯er. He knew that Zhang Xue¡¯er was angry that she wasn¡¯t the commander? Sure enough, Zhang Xue¡¯er could not help but laugh when she heard it. ¡°For the great Knox! Charge!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s resounding voice rang out from her mouth. ¡°Long live, Knox!¡± The assembled cavalry moved toward the north with mighty momentum. It stirred up a hundred-meter high sandstorm! The red dust billowed and smoke and dust rose everywhere. The cavalry of the Sharp Blade Tribe moved toward the Explosive Teeth Tribe. In the Explosive Teeth Tribe¡­ A turtle covered in armor was sitting on a stone chair. In front of him were many sparkling grapes. ¡°To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Explosive Teeth Tribe, cheers!¡± Ramos was very happy as he raised the stone cup and laughed. The Explosive Teeth Tribe was founded by his father 100 years ago. There were not only armored dragon turtles here, but there were also other larger and smaller tribes. There were more than 1500 people in total. ¡°Haha! Cheers to the great Explosive Teeth Tribe!¡± An explosive sand turtle stood up. The explosive sand turtle was the close brother of the armored dragon turtle. Its entire body was made of sand. It was an elemental type magical beast. ¡°Cheers!¡± Ramos drank a mouthful of grape juice that the Explosive Teeth Tribe had made. Just as he was about to speak, an armored dragon turtle scout hurriedly rushed in and exclaimed, ¡°Leader Ramos! There¡¯s a group of powerful attackers from the south! ¡°They¡¯re riding the horned lizard toward our tribe. It looks like they¡¯re not friendly.¡± The Sharp Blade Tribe¡¯s movements were so big that the armored dragon turtle could naturally notice them. ¡°The attackers? Those bugs?¡± Ramos raised his eyebrows. He did not go looking for trouble with them, but instead, they were looking for trouble with him. ¡°What kind of trash dares to cause trouble these days? ¡°But this time, they¡¯ve provoked the wrong turtle! We are the Explosive Teeth Tribe!¡± The explosive sand turtle was the first to stand up angrily and smashed the stone table with great force. ¡°Interesting, I initially wanted to wait for the Sharp Blade Tribe to stabilize before heading down south to attack. ¡°However, I didn¡¯t expect that they would come by themselves. Let¡¯s form up then!¡± Kacha! Ramos crushed the stone cup in his hand, and his eyes emitted yellow light. Not long ago, the Explosive Teeth Tribe had just ended a huge battle. The Explosive Teeth Tribe, which initially had over 3,000 people, had shrunk to roughly 1,500 people. However, Ramos was not afraid at all! They were the strongest warriors! ¡°Pass down my orders! Gather the troops and prepare to face the enemy!¡± Ramos suddenly stood up and his 5-meter tall figure appeared. Outside¡­ ¡°Your Highness Xue¡¯er! We¡¯re here!¡± Burton pulled the horned lizard to a stop and all the attackers stopped. ¡°You guys go ahead! I¡¯ll catch them off guard.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s figure was hidden in the sky. She wanted to surprise her brother. ¡°Understood.¡± Burton nodded. Chapter 37 Before Burton could make a move, the enemy¡¯s troops had already rushed out. ¡°Aren¡¯t they the bugs from the south? Why don¡¯t you all just stay there and wait for your deaths? ¡°What are you doing in Explosive Teeth Tribe? Have you gotten over it and are ready to join us?¡± Ramos led over a thousand people to stop Burton and the others outside the tribe. ¡°Shut up! You, green-shelled turtle, call your leader.¡± Burton did not know that Ramos was the leader of the Explosive Teeth Tribe. ¡°Leader? Hahaha! Tell them who I am.¡± Ramos laughed loudly at first, then said to the clansmen behind him. ¡°Listen well, bug! He is our great leader Ramos!¡± The dragon turtles behind him shouted in unison. ¡°Leader? I didn¡¯t expect you to be the leader.¡± Burton was a little surprised and scanned Ramos from top to toe. ¡°Why? Doesn¡¯t he look like one?¡± Ramos deliberately stood up straight. Although his five-meter body was not as tall as Burton¡¯s seven-meter body, his aura was not weak at all. ¡°Just in time. I am here to subdue you green-shelled turtles under the orders of Our Majesty. ¡°I urge you to put down your weapons and surrender!¡± Burton pulled out the banner of Zhang Yang. It would be the best outcome if they could subdue the Explosive Teeth Tribe without fighting. After all, the Explosive Teeth Tribe was very powerful. If they fought, both sides would suffer heavy casualties. At least they would have a period of recovery. ¡°Your Majesty?¡± The dragon turtles of the Explosive Teeth Tribe started to discuss. Who was His Majesty? Could it be a human cultivator?! Human cultivators were the undisputed overlords of the continent! Ramos was also shocked when he heard this. Who was this ¡®Majesty¡¯ that Burton was talking about? The title of a high-level human cultivator was well-known. No demon beast wanted to provoke a high-level cultivator. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Ramos narrowed his eyes and asked. ¡°Burton! The crystal pioneer of the Knox Empire!¡± Burton conveniently read out the name of the empire, making them sound more legitimate. The turtle next to Ramos asked nervously, ¡°Leader, what if it¡¯s really a high-level human cultivator?¡± He was initially full of fighting spirit, but after hearing the name of the empire, he was like a vegetable. ¡°Hmph! If he¡¯s really a high-level cultivator, why didn¡¯t he come?¡± Ramos could only pretend to be calm in order to calm his brothers. ¡°So it¡¯s fake?¡± The turtle calmed down a lot after hearing Ramos¡¯ words. Ramos carefully observed Burton¡¯s eyes, trying to find any clues. However, Burton¡¯s determined eyes made Ramos uncertain. ¡°Green-shelled turtle! Quickly decide! Do you want to become the enemy of the Knox Empire, or do you want to defect!¡± Burton said impatiently. With Zhang Yang backing him up, Burton was fearless! Just as Burton was communicating with Ramos, Zhang Xue¡¯er, who was in the sky, had already figured out what creatures they were. Dragon Turtle! It was a type of creature with abnormal defense. Its shell was covered with sharp spikes. While defending, it could also effectively injure its opponent. However, that kind of defense was only physical defense. The locking technique had a significant effect on the dragon turtle. Its personality was more violent and aggressive, and it was also full of strength. The reason why the dragon turtle was so strong was because it had dragon blood in its body. Legend had it that a long time ago, a giant dragon and a turtle fell in love, so the Dragon Turtle was born. Unfortunately, the dragon turtle was despised by the dragon from birth. The dragon was always the species that despised hybrids. ¡°What are they doing?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but attack from the sky. As she had figured out the weakness of the dragon turtle, the diving skill that she had prepared earlier was switched to the water-control skill. Below her¡­ ¡°If you really have a high-level human cultivator backing you, I will definitely join you. ¡°But how are you going to prove that you are real?¡± Ramos asked. In his heart, he faintly had the intention of seeking refuge. However, if the other party was not reliable then would he not be deceived? ¡°Hmph! Green-shelled turtle, is the existence of His Majesty something that you can question? !¡± Burton would never take out any evidence to prove the existence of Zhang Yang. In Burton¡¯s opinion, Zhang Yang was of supreme existence. Ramos was insulting their emperor by saying that! ¡°It seems like you guys can¡¯t show any evidence.¡± Ramos¡¯ patience was also limited. His heart, which had already been tempted, became firm. Regardless of whether he had a mighty figure to help him, he would fight first! What if this so-called emperor came later? When he saw how powerful his tribe was, he would definitely take us in! ¡°Explosive Teeth Tribe!¡± Ramos who had figured this out shouted. ¡°Roar!¡± The dragon turtles behind him were ready to attack. They could not wait any longer. ¡°Kill!¡± Ramos retreated into the turtle shell, spun his body, and charged at Burton. ¡°For the great Knox!¡± Burton jumped off the horned lizard, and the amethyst skin on his body became even more translucent. Bang! The leaders of both sides were the first to get entangled. The respective armies behind them also began to clash, and for some time, the scene was difficult to discern. Countless smoke and dust rose, enveloping the entire battlefield. ¡°You don¡¯t look like much, green-shelled turtle.¡± Above Burton¡¯s skin, a purple shield blocked Ramos¡¯ collision. Burton himself did not get injured. ¡°Don¡¯t get cocky too early!¡± Ramos crawled out of the turtle shell and used his claws to wrestle with Pepis¡¯ pincers. In the sky¡­ ¡°They¡¯re finally fighting!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er was delighted when she saw this. The ice crystals that she had prepared earlier fell from the sky. Boom! A one-meter-wide ice block fell from the sky. When the sun rays shone on the ice block, the crystal-clear ice block reflected seven colored rays of light, lighting up the battlefield below. ¡°What is that?¡± The exploding sand turtle raised its head in confusion. Bang! Just as the ice block was about to land on the ground, the ice block suddenly exploded. The powerful explosion of ice crystals shot at the surrounding armored dragon turtles, and most of them hit the turtle. ¡°No!¡± The turtle looked at its gradually dissolving body and cried out in despair, but death still came as planned. The turtle¡¯s body turned into a muddy puddle and laid in the desert. Its life had long dissipated. ¡°There¡¯s an ambush!¡± The dragon turtles reacted and raised their heads to look at the sky, only to see a woman dressed in white. ¡°Damn it! It¡¯s a human cultivator! You lied to me!¡± Ramos angrily rebuked Burton. Did they say they would surrender? In the end, they just wanted to kill them all! From his point of view, the strength of this woman¡¯s attack was to wipe them out. ¡°I lied to you? Hmph!¡± Burton brandished his giant scorpion pincers and struck Ramos in the abdomen. Feeling the huge impact on the abdomen, Ramos¡¯ entire turtle body was sent flying, sliding dozens of meters in the desert. Bang! ¡°Ah!¡± As soon as Ramos got up, he opened his mouth and roared angrily. Zhang Xue¡¯er, who was in the sky, saw the power of her attack and was happily preparing for her next attack. However, Ramos¡¯ shout pierced through her mind. She did not know why. She suddenly wanted to attack Ramos, the leader! ¡°Lowly green-shelled turtle!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er put away her flying magic power and dived down from the sky. Ramos quickly hid within the turtle shell when he saw this. The sharp spikes on his body grew by three inches! ¡°Not good!¡± Burton saw that Zhang Xue¡¯er was in danger, and the scorpion tail behind him pulled Ramos over in the next moment. Bang! Zhang Xue¡¯er successfully landed, and a sandy dust storm erupted. However, Ramos had already been pulled away by Burton. ¡°This is a psychic attack.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er quickly reacted. She was perfectly fine in the sky, but she had not expected to be attracted by Ramos¡¯ cry. She almost crashed into Ramos¡¯ spiky back. If Burton had not pull Ramos away in time, she would have been injured. Chapter 38 ¡°Troublesome fellow!¡± Ramos saw that his attack was not effective and was almost angered to death by Burton. The opportunity to severely injure a human was gone just like that. Ramos, who was incomparably furious, used both of his claws to hammer the ground! Boom! A terrifying vibration wave erupted from under Burton¡¯s feet. The ground beneath his feet shot up like a rock, hitting Pepis¡¯ body. ¡°Ah!¡± Pepis flew backward in pain, rolling a few times in the sand. ¡°Your life shall end once again!¡± Burton raised his sharp claws high, preparing to stab Pepis in the chest. At this moment, an extremely fast white light shot over like an arrow. Bang! The sharp icicle in Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s hand struck Ramos¡¯ abdomen. Squish! A stream of blood spurted out and splashed onto the yellow desert. ¡°Damned reptile! You dare to hurt my servant.¡± Even though Zhang Xue¡¯er had just saved him, she still approved of Ramos. Although they were ugly, they were still her servants. ¡°Damn it!¡± Ramos knelt on the ground and covered the wound on his abdomen with one hand. Blood continuously flowed out. Drip! Drip! Drip! Ramos did not pay attention to Zhang Xue¡¯er at all, causing him to not have time to harden his outer shell. Especially when Burton was attacking his soft abdomen. ¡°You should die, reptile!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er spread out her hands and the water droplets in her hands quickly condensed. ¡°Wait! Your Highness Xue¡¯er!¡± Seeing this, Burton quickly stood up and endured the pain to block Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s next attack. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Burton? Don¡¯t tell me you want to defect?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er stopped the water droplets and said impatiently. What did it matter if Burton saved her? That was not a reason for Burton to be greedy. ¡°Ramos is very powerful. His Majesty needs such a strong servant.¡± Burton knew that Zhang Xue¡¯er was angry, so he quickly knelt down and said that. ¡°Brother¡­¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er thought of the strength of her current subordinates. They were indeed quite weak. Thus, the water droplets in her hands slowly disappeared. ¡°Your ability saved your life!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er immediately released flames. The flames turned into a ring of fire in the air and trapped Ramos. Sizzle¡­ sizzle¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± The flames continued to burn Ramos¡¯ skin, and this was his lesson. ¡°Your leader, Ramos, had already lost! If you still need to continue, I will fight to the end!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er grabbed Ramos and flew into the air above the battlefield, shouting at the other dragon turtles of the Explosive Teeth Tribe below. When the other dragon turtles saw their boss had lost, coupled with Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s previous terrifying attack, none of the dragon turtles dared to move. ¡°We¡¯ve lost¡­¡± Ramos said in a muffled voice. He did not stop his tribesmen from surrendering. With Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s level, the outcome had long been decided. Instead of risking their lives, they might as well surrender. Otherwise, the only thing that awaited the dragon turtle tribe was destruction. Ramos did not want to become a sinner who would destroy his tribe. This war lasted for more than half an hour. Burton led his cavalry straight into the center of the Explosive Teeth Tribe. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that your food was that good.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er could not help but pick a grape and eat it. Mmm, delicious. ¡°We will submit to you, Great Master.¡± Ramos completely thought that Zhang Xue¡¯er was where Burton¡¯s confidence lay. ¡°Master? Hmph!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er said to Ramos gloomily, ¡°Please remember, call me Your Highness Xue¡¯er! ¡°You only have one emperor! That is my elder brother, His Majesty Zhang Yang!¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s voice spread throughout the entire Explosive Teeth Tribe. The entire Explosive Teeth Tribe looked at Zhang Xue¡¯er in disbelief. Ramos also widened his eyes in shock. Could it be that the other party really had a more powerful cultivator as a trump card? Zhang Xue¡¯er did not explain much. When the group of dragon turtles saw her brother, they would naturally understand. Burton asked, ¡°What do we need to do now, Your Highness Xue¡¯er?¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er said, ¡°I will lead a group of attackers to see my brother in Knox and fifty attackers will be left behind to count treasures of the Explosive Teeth Tribe.¡± In the battle just now, there were about 800 attackers, but now there were only 500 left. Out of the 1,500 people of the dragon turtle tribe, 500 were lost. Thanks to Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s attack, otherwise the dragon turtle tribe would not have lost so many. ¡°Understood!¡± Burton handed over 50 attackers, while the rest followed Zhang Xue¡¯er. ¡­ Zhang Yang knocked on the ground and said, ¡°According to what you said, it should take about three months to arrive at a village?¡± ¡°Yes, Your Majesty,¡± Chuan said. As a demon beast that had followed the caravan before, he had specially recorded how long it had been from Caspian Sea to here. ¡°Yes, the human caravan has traveled for three months. With my full speed, it seems that it will only take half a month.¡± Zhang Yang did not expect that clearing the Caspian Sea entrance would take that long. It would have been fine if it was somewhere else, but this was a desert. The legend of falling from the Kingdom of God was likely true. Only this kind of desert that appeared out of thin air would be so strange. ¡°Your Majesty! Dust is rolling in the distance. It seems that someone has come.¡± At this moment, an ordinary attacker came to Zhang Yang¡¯s side and reported. ¡°Someone had arrived?¡± Zhang Yang frowned. Could it be that someone would attack them? No matter what, as the master, Zhang Yang had to go out. There were only one to two hundred attackers left out here. They could not stop the enemy at all. Seeing that Zhang Yang was going to leave temporarily, Hu Tao immediately smiled. However, in the next moment¡­ ¡°Right, you come with me too.¡± Zhang Yang took a step forward and grabbed Hu Tao. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Hu Tao suddenly became depressed. Why did Zhang Yang have to take her along every time she had something to do? Chapter 39 ¡°Your Majesty, that¡¯s the place.¡± The attacker pointed at the distant sand and dust. ¡°What a fuss. I was wondering what it was. It turns out that my younger sister has returned.¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s excellent strength allowed him to see through the sand and fog in an instant. He could clearly see the creature inside as well as Zhang Xue¡¯er who was flying midair. ¡°What? It turns out to be Princess Xue¡¯er. My eyes didn¡¯t see clearly.¡± The attacker was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground, afraid that Zhang Yang would punish him. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You can go back. I¡¯m here.¡± Zhang Yang did not want to punish his subordinate that did not do anything wrong. After hearing that he was clear to go, the attacker quickly rolled back into the desert forest. ¡°Brother!¡± After the attacker left, Zhang Xue¡¯er landed in front of Celine from the air. The first thing she did when she returned to Zhang Yang¡¯s side was to hug her brother. ¡°Alright, Xue¡¯er, what did you bring back for me?¡± Zhang Yang pushed Zhang Xue¡¯er away speechlessly and saw the attacker cavalry behind her, as well as the turtles. No, according to his previous memories, they should be dragon turtles. ¡°They are the dragon turtles of the Explosive Teeth Tribe. After we successfully defeated them, they submitted to us.¡± Zhang Xue¡¯er raised her head proudly as if she was waiting for Zhang Yang¡¯s praise. Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s cheeks turned red. ¡°¡­ Well done, Xue¡¯er. It is as expected of my younger sister.¡± Seeing Zhang Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes filled with desire, the corners of Zhang Yang¡¯s mouth twitched. Zhang Xue¡¯er replied, ¡°Of course, brother! I am your younger sister, I will never disgrace my brother.¡± Zhang Yang rolled his eyes and then looked at the Explosive Teeth Tribe. At this moment, the dragon turtles were all stunned. Oh my god! There really was another human cultivator with such a strong aura. The current Zhang Yang was a high-level cultivator. The dragon turtles¡¯ aura was not even half as strong as Zhang Yang¡¯s. ¡°You are from the Explosive Teeth Tribe? You look pretty good.¡± Zhang Yang sized up leader Ramos and said. However, why was there a ring of fire on Ramos¡¯ body. Perhaps she could see her brother¡¯s confusion, so Zhang Xue¡¯er explained in advance. ¡°I understand now.¡± Zhang Yang looked at Ramos with a playful look. Feeling the tall gaze in front of him, Ramos directly knelt on the ground. ¡°Sir, I really didn¡¯t know that there was a supreme existence here. ¡°You are the star of the universe, and I am only the dust in the desert. ¡°Please forgive the ignorance of this dust!¡± Ramos pleaded. Zhang Yang was exerting too much pressure in front of them. He was like a sharp blade, ready to make them bleed. Little did they know that Zhang Yang did not deliberately release his pressure. ¡°Stars and dust?¡± After Zhang Yang heard Ramos¡¯ praise, he wanted to laugh. Those words of praise made him feel pretty good. He was much better than Burton. ¡°Yes! We are only grains of rice, and you are the sun and moon in the sky. The light of a grain of rice would not dare to compete with the sun and moon!¡± When Ramos saw Zhang Yang¡¯s smile, he was delighted and quickly praised him. ¡°Hmph!¡± However, he did not expect that in the next moment, a terrifying pressure would be released from Zhang Yang¡¯s body. The pressure was like a huge mountain, pressing down on the shoulders of the dragon turtles. Countless dragon turtles were sprawled on the ground by the huge mountain. They were mercilessly crushed to the ground by the pressure, unable to resist at all. ¡°This! This!¡± Ramos was so frightened that he could not speak for a moment. The humans who were clearly happy just a moment ago had suddenly become so terrifying in the blink of an eye. ¡°Burton had said the same thing before he joined me. When I gave him the words, I liked to act.¡± Zhang Yang stopped smiling and turned serious. It was good to hear such flattery, but it sounded harsh and hypocritical. ¡°Explosive Teeth Tribe is willing to follow Your Majesty forever! ¡°If we betray you, we will be captured by the immortals and burned by the fire of the cannon!¡± Ramos was also an understanding turtle, so he immediately stopped talking about those meaningless things. Instead, he directly swore to follow Zhang Yang and never betray him. ¡°Hmph, come in.¡± Zhang Yang shook his body and flew into the desert forest behind him. Zhang Xue¡¯er and the Explosive Tooth Tribe followed closely behind. In the desert forest¡­ ¡°Do you think what I did was right?¡± Zhang Yang asked Hu Tao beside him. ¡°Ah?¡± Hu Tao was a little confused. She did not understand why Zhang Yang asked her that, but she did not dare to say anything. ¡°The reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck¡­ What is it exactly?¡± Zhang Yang did not press Hu Tao too much, and his memory did not have any records of this reincarnation. Maybe he could ask his father when he had the chance to meet him in the future. The family had a strong foundation, hence they knew more things. Soon, Zhang Xue¡¯er and the Explosive Teeth Tribe arrived. The hundreds of cavalry raiders sped toward the address of the Explosive Teeth Tribe. There were many treasures of the Explosive Teeth Tribe there. It would take a certain amount of time for Burton¡¯s group of fifty raiders to quickly clean up the treasures . ¡°Greetings, Your Majesty!¡± Ramos led the dragon turtle and knelt in front of Celine. [Name: Ramos] [Creature: Dragon Turtle, Mature] [Attack: 280] [Defense: 350] [Speed: 100] [Vitality: 358] [Item: None] [Spell: None] [Talent: Indestructible Shell] [Abilities: Bite, power sprint, spike defense, berserk taunt, earth-shaking] [Evaluation: A very powerful dragon turtle with a prominent dragon bloodline. Qualified to become a demigod] Ramos¡¯ stats were comparable to Burton¡¯s, but his talent and evaluation were vastly different from Pepis¡¯. His talent was demigod-level, and the system also said that Ramos was qualified to become a demigod. A demigod was only below a true god. Legend had it that when the dragon race was about to die and explode, they could possess the power of a demigod. From this, it could be seen that Ramos¡¯ talent was very good, and he was a potential demigod subordinate. ¡°Ramos.¡± Zhang Yang whispered, and the fire ring on Ramos¡¯ body dispersed with the wind. ¡°Your Majesty! Your humble servant is here!¡± Ramos quickly replied. ¡°From today onward, you are one of the family members of our empire. Remember! Our empire¡¯s name is Knox! Anyone who offends us will be executed!¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s roar resounded through the desert forest, letting all the family members know. They were people of Knox! No one could provoke them! ¡°Long live, Knox!¡± When the attackers outside heard Zhang Yang¡¯s roar, they all shouted. ¡°Long live, Knox!¡± ¡°Long live, Knox!¡± When the dragon turtle heard the attacker¡¯s scream, it also immediately followed suit. Chapter 40 In the crypt¡­ ¡°Have you seen the desert witch?¡± Zhang Yang sat in his seat and asked Ramos. ¡°Desert witch? Your Majesty, I saw a desert witch last week. At that time, they came to make a deal with us.¡± Ramos was a little confused as to why His Majesty was looking for the desert witch. ¡°You saw a desert demoness?!¡± Zhang Yang was pleasantly surprised. After such a long time, he finally heard the news about the desert demoness. ¡°Yes, Your Majesty. It was last week. To be precise, it was three days ago,¡± Ramos quickly said. He was confused now. Why was His Majesty so happy? ¡°By the way, what kind of deal did you make?¡± Zhang Yang asked with interest. What kind of deal was there between a group of turtles and a witch who knew soul control? ¡°We have desert grapes, but we don¡¯t know how to make fruit juice. It was the desert witch who taught us the technique. ¡°The price they wanted was some spikes from our dragon turtle¡¯s body,¡± Ramos explained. Zhang Yang listened and started to make spikes. ¡°Spikes? I guess they are going to make some pills.¡± The desert witch was very talented in cultivation. Other than a few who knew soul control techniques, there were also some who knew how to make pills. However, the ingredients of the pills were very strange. After the desert witch made some pills, she would change into a hat and cloak and went to the human market to sell these pills. Other than her mouth looking a little ferocious, the desert witch looked no different from an ordinary person. The horns on her forehead could also be kept away. They mingled in the human market. If you had some luck in love, you could probably have a good night with the desert witch. However, when Zhang Yang thought of the mouth of the desert witch in the book, his body could not help but tremble. ¡°Do you remember where they went?¡± Zhang Yang put this question aside. The most important thing now was where the desert witch went. ¡°Yes, they went to the east. I still remember that they said that the south was very dangerous.¡± Ramos told Zhang Yang everything he knew. Zhang Yang was happy when he heard that. It turned out that the desert witches already knew about him. The desert witches would not be afraid of the attackers alone, except that they had found out about his aura. No wonder he had not seen the desert witches after waiting for so long. ¡°Your Majesty is interested in that group of desert witches?¡± Ramos asked carefully. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhang Yang nodded. After hearing that Zhang Yang was interested, Ramos immediately said, ¡°If Your Majesty really wants to find the desert witches, why don¡¯t you try sand dogs?¡± ¡°Sand dogs? Do you have them?¡± Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. Sand dog was a kind of dog in the desert. It was a kind of dog with a high IQ. Its sense of smell was extremely sensitive, even more powerful than a cultivator like Zhang Yang. Even if the other party had passed by a year ago, the sand dog could still smell the scent left behind by the other party. Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to let the sand dog smell the scent of the other party. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s in our Explosive Teeth Tribe,¡± Ramos replied. After knowing the existence of the sand dogs, how could Celine stay calm? Hence, he immediately instructed Zhang Xue¡¯er, ¡°Xue¡¯er, you take care of the house! I¡¯m going to the Explosive Teeth Tribe!¡± He grabbed Hu Tao with one hand and Ramos with the other, and flew directly toward the Explosive Teeth Tribe. The attackers on the ground only saw a ball of fire flying into the sky, leaving behind a ball of fire, as if it was going to burn a hole in the sky. ¡®Why did you bring me along again!¡¯ Hu Tao wanted to cry, but no tears came out. In reality, Zhang Yang only treated Hu Tao as an item, a lucky star. Was that not the same as having a lucky charm on him at anytime? She felt the howling wind beside his ears. Hu Tao started to tremble again because of his fear of heights. Ramos took a deep breath. This human¡¯s strength was really too terrifying. Just by holding him with a single hand, he was unable to move. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you cold?¡± Zhang Yang could clearly feel Hu Tao¡¯s movements in his hand. ¡°No¡­ no, Your Majesty, I¡­ I¡¯m a little¡­ a little afraid of heights.¡± Hu Tao tried to speak as calmly as possible. ¡°Afraid¡­ of heights?!¡± Zhang Yang was shocked. There was actually someone who was afraid of heights in this continent where everyone could cultivate? Moreover, this girl seemed to be a cultivator as well. Ten minutes later¡­ Bang! A huge red figure landed on the ground. ¡°Lead the way.¡± Zhang Yang put Hu Tao and Ramos down. At this moment, Hu Tao was so scared that her face turned pale. Ramos nodded and led Zhang Yang into the Explosive Teeth Tribe. ¡°You have to train your fear of heights next time.¡± Zhang Yang glanced at Hu Tao and said. ¡°What? No! Your Majesty, please don¡¯t do this.¡± Hu Tao almost fainted from fright. Training her fear of heights was worse than killing her. ¡°You dare to reject me?¡± Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows. ¡°No, no, no.¡± Hu Tao¡¯s body suddenly stiffened. Zhang Yang¡¯s words were really too frightening. In the Explosive Teeth Tribe¡­ ¡°Your Majesty, why are you here?¡± When Burton saw Celine landed, he noticed the strange phenomenon caused by Zhang Yang¡¯s flight, so he hurriedly came to Zhang Yang¡¯s side and half-knelt on the ground. ¡°I heard that there are sand dogs here. Did you see them?¡± Zhang Yang looked down at the tribe from left to right. The dragon turtle had even specially made a house out of hay. The quality of life was much better than the attackers. ¡°Sand dogs? Yes, we found fifteen sand dogs in a courtyard,¡± Burton replied respectfully. ¡°No, Your Majesty.¡± Ramos added, ¡°We have not only 15 sand dogs, but also 20 in my backyard.¡± ¡°Okay, show me,¡± Zhang Yang nodded. Ramos immediately led the way and brought Zhang Yang to his backyard. It had to be said that Ramos really knew how to enjoy life. Even though the raw material of the house was grass, it was built very nicely, like a small imperial palace in ancient times. If the materials were replaced, it would be a palace. ¡°Woof! Woof! Woof!¡± The sand dogs seemed to have sensed some danger, so they all started barking frantically. Only when Zhang Yang¡¯s aura was getting closer and closer did all the sand dogs tuck their tails between their legs and tremble. ¡°Is this the sand dogs?¡± Zhang Yang said. The sand dogs had khaki-colored fur all over its body. Its body was about 3 meters long, and its shoulder height was about 1.2 meters. It looked similar to an ordinary dog, but its eyes were even more terrifying. ¡°Since you said there was a sand dog, then you must have something of the desert witch,¡± Zhang Yang said. ¡°Yes, Your Majesty!¡± Ramos turned around and quickly went into the room. In just a moment, he took out a veil. ¡°This is the veil of the desert witch. They left it for us. They said that if they still want to work together, they allowed the sand dog take us there.¡±
