Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 464 The Unknown World (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

He immediately realized that this monster was not so easy to deal with!

Even if they fought desperately, they might not be able to kill this monster.

"Senior Sister Ying, this demonic beast is powerful! There's no need for our sect to fight it head-on. Let's retreat! Exploring this world is more important than risking our lives!"

Li Yunjing quickly transmitted his voice.

"Okay! But we need to find an opportunity!"

Ying Qianqian acted decisively. After a moment's thought, she immediately made up her mind to stop pestering him.

After ignoring Li Yunjing, Ying Qianqian quickly issued orders to the "Xuanwu Army"!

After the "Xuanwu Army" had made thorough preparations, Ying Qianqian then communicated with Zhu Yangzi. As for those demonic cultivators, monsters, and rogue cultivators...
Isn't this just ready-made cannon fodder?
Soon, everyone from both sects prepared to retreat.

However, before the retreat, the power of the "Xuanwu Demon-Slaying Formation" actually became even stronger.

The members of the "Yuanyang Dao Sect" also roared and bombarded the enemy with their powerful supernatural abilities!

On the other side, the demonic cultivators, monsters, and rogue cultivators, seeing this, assumed that the people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Yuanyang Dao Sect" wanted to kill this powerful monster.

These creatures also wanted to familiarize themselves with the strength of the monsters here.

So, they followed the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Yuanyang Dao Sect," thinking they were kicking someone when they were down and kicking a dog when it was drowning, and they all took action.

"Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword!"

With a loud shout from Ying Qianqian, the Xuanwu that rose from the "Xuanwu Demon-Slaying Formation" suddenly changed.

The enormous black serpent suddenly straightened up and condensed into a huge thunder sword!

This giant sword, formed from the power of thunder, was controlled by Ying Qianqian. It locked onto the "Crimson Flame Scorpion" and slashed down fiercely. A huge bolt of lightning struck directly at the "Crimson Flame Scorpion's" head.

"boom!"

The lightning sword struck the head of the "Crimson Flame Scorpion," instantly unleashing a dazzling burst of lightning.

"Crimson Flame Scorpion" let out a shrill scream, but experts like Ying Qianqian, Zhu Yangzi, and Li Yunjing could still clearly see that the injury was not serious!

There was only one wound, about ten feet long!

But such a wound is insignificant to the mountain-sized "Crimson Flame Scorpion," like a gash on a person's head that requires three stitches!
That's all the injury!
At that moment, everyone abandoned their illusions!

Knowing that this "Crimson Flame Poison Scorpion" was of a very high level, almost possessing the strength of a fourth-tier demon king, it was definitely not something that they could easily kill!
Ying Qianqian, Li Yunjing, and Zhu Yangzi all possess formidable trump cards, but none of them are willing to waste their most powerful methods on the "Crimson Flame Scorpion."

Keep in mind that they had just arrived in this unfamiliar place and had no idea how many dangers they would face in the future.

If we exhaust our resources here, it will be detrimental to our future actions.

"withdraw!"

With a soft shout from Ying Qianqian, the "Xuanwu Demon-Slaying Formation" disintegrated with a "whoosh," and everyone began to flee.

"Let's act alone!"

Seeing the direction in which the main force of the "Xuanwu Army" disappeared, Li Yunjing did not choose to follow. Instead, he stopped Fu Chao and chose to go in the opposite direction.

As for Lin Wan'er's low cultivation level, it would be safer for her to stay with Ying Qianqian and the others.

Ying Qianqian's "Xuanwu Army" had too many members. If he were with her and the benefits were shared equally, Li Yunjing would inevitably get less. This was the main reason why they separated.

"Hey! Old Li, what do we do now?"

Fu Chao naturally understood what Li Yunjing meant, and asked while fleeing.

"I've already spoken to Ying Qianqian! We'll go our own way and explore. Who knows what's in this unfamiliar place!"

Li Yunjing casually responded with a couple of sentences.

As they spoke, the two fled for their lives, flying thousands of miles away in an instant.

This wasn't a normal journey; it was an escape for one's life!

Li Yunjing and Fu Chao activated their "Fire Escape Technique" almost simultaneously in order to escape more quickly.

After the people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Yuanyang Dao Sect" fled, the demonic cultivators, rogue cultivators, and monsters finally realized what was happening. Just as they were about to run away, the enraged "Crimson Flame Poison Scorpion" pounced on them!

The number of these lives lost or injured was no longer of concern to Li Yunjing.

By using cannon fodder, they bought time.

The two moved at incredible speed, making them almost the first group to escape the desert.

After leaving the desert, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao were in mid-air. Looking into the distance, they saw a lush green expanse ahead, which turned out to be an endless primeval forest.

The two were suspended in the air and could not see through the primeval forest to determine its size.

"Go down! This place is teeming with life; there must be some powerful creature here!"

Sensing the rich spiritual energy fluctuations within the primeval forest, Li Yunjing's expression changed, and he immediately descended the altitude.

Fu Chao understood and was equally startled. He followed Li Yunjing's example, concealing his aura as he descended into the forest.

The two landed quietly at the edge of the forest. The ground beneath their feet was soft and damp, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. Occasionally, they could hear the roars of beasts and the calls of birds in the distance.

This primeval forest seems to exist in its own world, filled with an aura of mystery and danger.

Li Yunjing's gaze was solemn as he whispered to Fu Chao, "Be careful, this forest is not simple. I can sense that the spiritual energy here is unusually dense, which may be hiding many powerful creatures, or even ancient species."

Fu Chao nodded, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

He asked in a low voice, "Old Li, what do we do next? Should we go straight through, or take a detour?"

“Taking a detour would be a waste of time. This forest may be dangerous, but it also presents us with an opportunity.”

Li Yunjing shook his head: "If we can find some spiritual herbs or ancient treasures, it will greatly benefit our cultivation. However, we must be careful and try not to disturb the powerful creatures here."

After saying that, Li Yunjing took out a talisman from his storage ring, and with a gentle shake, the talisman transformed into a faint blue light that enveloped the two of them.

The next instant, their figures became transparent.

Li Yunjing explained, "This is an 'invisibility talisman,' which can conceal our presence and prevent us from being detected by some creatures with keen senses."

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Fu Chao felt somewhat relieved and quickly followed behind Li Yunjing, cautiously advancing into the depths of the forest.

Ancient trees stand tall in the forest, their branches and leaves lush, and sunlight filters through the gaps, casting dappled shadows.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which made a soft "rustling" sound when stepped on.

As the two traveled, they occasionally encountered some strange spiritual herbs and fruits. Li Yunjing collected some of the rare seeds before continuing their exploration.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Yunjing suddenly stopped and stared intently at an open space in front of him.

Fu Chao followed his gaze and immediately gasped.

On the open ground, a gigantic monster was fast asleep.

The monster resembled a tiger, but its body was covered in blue scales, its tail snaked like a snake, and it had a single horn on its head that emitted a faint lightning.

"This is... a Thunderscale Beast!"

Li Yunjing said in a low voice, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"Damn it! They're practically extinct in our Southern Continent! How can there be such a creature here?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chao was startled.

The "Thunderscale Beast" is an extremely rare type of demonic beast, born with the power of thunder and possessing immense strength!

In a certain era, the Shenxiao Dao Sect tamed many Thunderscale Beasts and used these monsters as mounts.

Even now, on the Beast Taming Peak of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, there are still descendants of the Thunderscale Beast.

However, after so many years, it is no longer possible to train them systematically.

These "Thunderscale Beasts" can only be supplied to some Golden Core Realm elders in the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" who like to tame beasts.

Li Yunjing gently tugged at Fu Chao's sleeve, signaling him to slowly back away.

The two held their breath and carefully avoided the territory of the "Thunderscale Beast".

Instead of engaging the "Thunderscale Beast" in this unfamiliar primeval forest, they turned around and suddenly found themselves in a bright and clear place.

After traveling several dozen miles, Li Yunjing and his companion immediately discovered many rare and precious medicinal herbs, some of which were not even found in the Southern Heaven Continent and were considered scarce resources.

Of course, the grass and weeds along the way are all first-tier spiritual herbs, nothing special.

However, some rare copies are extremely valuable.

Li Yunjing still picked some.

He had always harbored a dream: to establish the most complete medicinal garden, ideally gathering all the rare and precious herbs in the world. This was one of Li Yunjing's passions!
Of course, achieving his goal would be an almost impossible task.

The wonders of nature are beyond the comprehension of humankind.
If that day ever comes, wouldn't Li Yunjing become the master of creation?

At this moment, Li Yunjing felt as if he had entered an amusement park, and his heart was filled with joy.

He was very interested in any unique plant and would always keep one or two to cultivate later.

As for alchemy?

That's far from enough.

At least in Li Yunjing's view, any spiritual medicine that is not of the second rank is not worthy of his use.

Of course, Li Yunjing didn't keep the second-tier spiritual herbs he encountered along the way to himself; he shared all the resources he collected with Fu Chao.

With so many rare and precious materials on the surface of this forest, Li Yunjing began to wonder if he had brought too few storage treasures again.

Perhaps it's not enough, and can't accommodate so many resources?
The gain is too great.

As a result, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao never stopped smiling.

This also filled the two with anticipation for the trip.

"Old Li, you've really struck it rich!"

Not daring to speak, Fu Chao transmitted his voice.

"Yes! This place is like an unexplored world!"

"Everything was in its original state, and there were truly all sorts of wonderful things there!"

"So much so that even the most powerful demonic beasts disdain collecting first-tier spiritual herbs, and some second-tier spiritual herbs are simply left behind in the grass as worthless!"

Li Yunjing also replied with a smile.

As they searched, both of them, being Foundation Establishment Realm experts, moved with incredible speed. Li Yunjing simultaneously circulated his "Yi Wood True Qi" to sense the surrounding spiritual objects while running the "Purple Cloud Forging Divine Secrets Technique" in his mind to deduce the various conditions of this forest.

For three whole days, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao explored almost the entire primeval forest, and they finally gained some understanding of the place.

This primeval forest is an irregular square, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

In the primeval forest, there are many groups of magical beasts living in different areas.

Through observation, Li Yunjing determined that there seemed to be fourth-order beings among these demonic beasts.

In the heart of the primeval forest, there seems to be something truly extraordinary.

Unfortunately, that wasn't a place where Li Yunjing and Fu Chao dared to act recklessly.

Over the course of three days, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao moved clockwise along the edge of the primeval forest, gradually shrinking towards the inner circle.

After entering the habitat of the third-tier demon king, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao plundered some third-tier spiritual items and dared not go to the place where the fourth-tier demon king was located.

"Old Fu, come with me!"

After searching almost the entire area, Li Yunjing activated his "True Qi of Wood," merging with nature, and headed southwest.

Ahead lies a vast lake, its surface as clear as a mirror, and at the edge of that lake stands a towering mountain peak!
This mountain peak is completely bare, devoid of any vegetation, making it quite eerie in this primeval forest.

Within this vast lake, the water ripples, its depth unknown, concealing a fierce aura.

When Li Yunjing and Fu Chao arrived at the lake, they sensed that the lake seemed extremely dangerous!
Because the two of them didn't see any other signs of monster activity nearby!
You should know that such a good place as the lakeside has always been the best habitat for monsters.

But there's nothing here!

That's absolutely bizarre!
"Old Li, what should we do?"

Looking at his surroundings, Fu Chao was caught in a dilemma, seemingly unsure of what to do.

There must be danger in the lake!
The bald peak next to it was also very strange, completely out of place with its surroundings.

"Hehe! Let's give it a try! I've used my 'Purple Cloud Forging Divine Secrets Technique' to deduce things, and my spiritual intuition tells me that there should be an opportunity for me here! It's an extremely auspicious time!"

Li Yunjing looked around at his surroundings and said with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Hearing Li Yunjing's words, Fu Chao was speechless and asked in confusion, "When did you start practicing the Purple Cloud Forging God Heavenly Secrets Technique?"

Just how many things does this freak Li Yunjing know?

"Hehe! I learned it many years ago! It was taught to me by the Sect Master!"

Li Yunjing spoke with a hint of pride.

He felt very relaxed when he was with Fu Chao, and he was willing to show off his various achievements in front of his good friend.

"Ugh……"

Fu Chao sighed, utterly speechless.

He was so provoked by Li Yunjing that he lost the will to speak.

"Shall we go take a look at that bald peak over there?"

Seeing that Fu Chao was already quite upset by his words, Li Yunjing stopped trying to provoke him and changed the subject.

Just as Li Yunjing was about to go over, two more people appeared nearby.

These two people are actually demonic cultivators!
"Strange! I didn't expect that a Golden Core cultivator from the Demonic Path would actually escape from that fourth-tier demon king?"

Li Yunjing said strangely.

"Huh? There's someone over there!"

"Are they from the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'?"

The two demonic cultivators also spotted Li Yunjing and Fu Chao.

"How to do?"

"Never mind them! If they dare to compete with us, we'll kill those two 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' brats!"

After a brief discussion, the two demonic cultivators immediately flew towards the barren mountain peak.

"Hmm? They know what material that mountain is made of?"

Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows, quite surprised by the behavior of the two demonic cultivators.

It should be noted that demonic cultivators are always suspicious and would never dare to act rashly under normal circumstances.

Now that these two people have arrived, they fly directly towards the barren mountain peak, clearly indicating that they have determined what is on the mountain peak, or what it is!
This made Li Yunjing hesitate.

Should we wait and see before making a move, or should we make a move immediately?
But at that moment, the vast lake suddenly surged with waves, and countless large and small fish and monsters flew out of the water.

Instantly, these demonic beasts, scattered throughout the sky, coalesced into a dark cloud.

Within the dark clouds, thousands of fish demons blocked the path of the two demonic cultivators.

"They're all second- and third-tier demonic beasts, there are so many?"

Li Yunjing was shocked. Ten of the fish demons that flew up from the lake and spewed black clouds were actually third-level demon kings!
The others are second-tier demonic beasts!

The quantity and quality are both too high!
Even Li Yunjing would have to be extremely careful to avoid such a massive fish demon.

"Hahaha! So many demonic beasts! Die, all of you!"

The demonic cultivator showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he laughed loudly twice, waved his hand, and instantly, countless black rays of light burst forth, forming a pitch-black net!

As soon as the net was cast, it was thrown towards the dark clouds.

As soon as the large net was cast, countless fish demons were caught and unable to move.

"Hehe! Senior brother's 'Netherworld Net' is indeed powerful! However, it's time for junior brother to show off his own skills as well!"

The man next to him took out a fishing rod as he spoke. With a flick of the long rod, a fishhook caught in the mouth of a third-tier fish demon king with a "whoosh," making it difficult for the third-tier demon king to escape no matter how much it struggled!

"These two demonic cultivators have incredibly powerful methods! They seem to have a way to subdue these demonic beasts!"

Fu Chao was thrilled.

"Hehe! Wait a minute! Let's take a look! With such a commotion here, perhaps even more experts will arrive. Let them fight first, and we'll be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

As they were talking, Li Yunjing grabbed Fu Chao and retreated into the primeval forest.

After entering the primeval forest, Li Yunjing changed direction again and used "earth escape technique" to dig a hole in the ground, and took Fu Chao inside.

The direction of the cave is the closest point to the bare mountain peak!

Li Yunjing and Fu Chao hid thirty-three feet underground!
This location is deep enough to be safe.

Moreover, with the battle raging above, no one can concentrate on searching their surroundings, so Li Yunjing has absolutely no worries about being discovered!
