Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 113 Departure

The soul is formed when life, during its gestation process, continuously absorbs the life forms in nature, nurtures its consciousness, and eventually becomes a soul.

In extremely rare cases, if the soul is powerful enough, it may remain intact after the physical body dies and, by chance, be absorbed by a new life, thus retaining some of its previous consciousness.

When Fang Xiu's strength changed for the first time, Lao Jun had already guessed that this was the most likely possibility.

However, in terms of strength, if Fang Xiu did not reveal it, Lao Jun would not be able to see through him completely. He could only sense that Fang Xiu had become stronger, but he did not know how much stronger he had become.

Furthermore, Laozi couldn't be certain about Fang Xiu inheriting the soul of the previous Taotie; it was merely a guess. This was Fang Xiu's own secret, and since Fang Xiu didn't reveal it, Laozi wouldn't investigate.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Lao Jun continued his travels with Xiao Qingning, followed by the two listless children.

In the following time, Laozi led everyone to many places, such as other human capitals, and the Moon Palace in the sky, which Xiao Qingning was particularly curious about.

However, there was no fairy that Xiao Qingning wanted to see in the Moon Palace, only a gray-white planet, completely silent.

After traveling for a while and even picking up a little kid, Fang Xiu and his companions finally returned to Lanxi Town with Lao Jun.

After returning, Laozi began to teach Qingning about spiritual power. Xuanli, after his battle with Fangxiu, had his competitive spirit ignited and finally made up his mind to start from scratch and work hard in his cultivation.

Junge Pavilion in Lanxi Town is a place that only Laojun, Xuanli, and Fangxiu can usually visit. Now, Xiao Qingning has joined them.

While Xuan Li and Xiao Qingning were diligently cultivating, after much deliberation, Fang Xiu finally approached Lao Jun.

"Master." Fang Xiu walked up to Lao Jun. His height, which was originally about the same as Xiao Qing Ning's, had swelled up as if it had been inflated, and he looked like he was almost an adult.

Fairies can freely change their human form, and can be male, female, young or old.

"Have you made up your mind?" Lao Jun put down the novel in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"certainly!"

"Then you may go by yourself."

Knowing that Fang Xiu's mind was made up, Lao Jun stopped trying to persuade him and simply handed him a storage bag containing many magical treasures.

Eat sparingly, and come back when you're hungry.

These magical treasures weren't for Fang Xiu to use, but for him to eat. Lao Jun knew that if he hadn't said that, Fang Xiu would have eaten them all on the very first day.

"Even after leaving Blue Creek Town, I need to control my appetite. I don't want to hear about the Gluttonous Kingdom again."

"Don't worry, Master, I'm off!"

Fang Xiu bid farewell to Lao Jun and embarked on his own path. If he continued to stay in Lanxi Town, he would never be able to take the next step. Lao Jun's protection of them was too good, which was both a good thing and a taboo. What Fang Xiu needed now was not calm waters, but mountains of knives and seas of fire!

Before leaving Lanxi Town, Fang Xiu went to see his junior sister Xiao Qingning and Brother Gou. He naturally had to tell them he was leaving.

Xiao Qingning didn't recognize Fang Xiu at first, because in her memory, Fang Xiu was about the same age as her not long ago, but he had grown up so much.

Upon learning that Fang Xiu was leaving, Xiao Qingning was quite reluctant to part with her senior brother, and her eyes welled up with tears.

As for Xuan Li, Fang Xiu only left, not died. Moreover, they are both demons, and even more so, they are exceptional demons with outstanding talents. They will meet again if they live.

More than the thought of parting, Xuan Li was concerned about why Fang Xiu could leave while he couldn't.

Thinking of this, Xuan Li angrily went to find Laozi. He wanted to go outside; he didn't want to study! He wanted to fight!!

Xuan Li approached Lao Jun, and Lao Jun's solution was surprisingly simple: fight.

Inside the Battle Commander Palace, Fang Xiu and Xuan Li fought a real battle, one that was life or death. The Battle Commander Palace was special; it was Laozi's spiritual space, where even death could be altered.

After some time, Xuan Li and Fang Xiu reappeared, their expressions different. Fang Xiu had a slight smile that resembled Laozi's, while Xuan Li looked troubled. The outcome was already obvious.

"Master, Brother Gou, I'll be going now."

After Fang Xiu left, Xuan Li was still in a daze when Lao Jun rolled up his novel and gently tapped Xuan Li's head.

Do you know why you lost?

Xuan Li's raging flames were ultimately no match for Fang Xiu, this black hole. No matter how many flames Xuan Li released, it was all in vain; he could only be swallowed by the black hole.

In the end, Xuan Li restored his original form, but was overpowered by Fang Xiu, who had also restored his Taotie form.

Upon hearing Lao Jun's question, Xuan Li's eyes showed confusion. He felt that he had lost inexplicably. From the start of the battle, he had been doing nothing. All his attacks were useless against Fang Xiu, and Fang Xiu had completely devoured them.

"Fang Xiu's power is not stronger than yours, but his control over his spiritual power is far superior to yours. Xuan Li, your control over your spirit is too crude. You only have three-tenths of the power you use, and the rest is consumed by Fang Xiu."

"You should know that he is a gluttonous beast, and he is most skilled at using war to sustain war. Uncontrollable power will only become his nourishment."

In Laozi's view, Xuanli in the past was like a child wielding a sledgehammer. The vast spiritual power was like a sledgehammer to Xuanli, powerful but uncontrollable. Xuanli's flames were scorching and violent because he could not perfectly control his spirit.

If Xuan Li could better control his flames, his strength could increase several times over.

Xuan Li was an optimist. Although his defeat to Fang Xiu made him feel down for a while, he quickly recovered. However, he obviously practiced much more on weekdays, and he began to take the initiative to learn from Lao Jun.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiu, having left Lanxi Town, began his journey of leveling up by fighting monsters. Before leaving, he specifically asked Lao Jun for a list, a list of powerful demons.

Of all the gods who exist today, perhaps only Laozi has such a detailed list.

Fang Xiu took a magical artifact from his storage bag and popped it into his mouth as a snack. He then recalled the nearest fairy and had an idea.

At this moment, the outside world is in the midst of war. After years of fighting, the countries involved in the war are exhausted. Meanwhile, the rebel army in Wuxian has risen up unexpectedly, quietly conquering a large territory.

Logically speaking, the affairs of the human world have nothing to do with the fairies, but during times of war, there are always fairies who cannot resist temptation.

For fairies, eating humans is a shortcut to cultivating spiritual power, and it holds an instinctive allure for them.

In the world of fairies, there has never been a rule against cannibalism, so there will always be fairies who take this path, especially now that it is a time of war and there are refugees everywhere, some of whom will inevitably end up in the fairy territory.

Once they've tasted the power that comes from human flesh and blood, many fairies become addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.

Although Laozi set a rule that demons must not eat people, there will always be demons who do not abide by it.

The fairy, now in leopard form, was lying on the ground gnawing on the remains of a human when she suddenly heard footsteps.

"Someone else is here?"

The leopard spirit licked the blood off its paws and quietly retreated into the shadows. Although it was already quite full, it didn't mind having a snack.

The one who entered the jungle was a young man with empty hands and gorgeous clothes. He didn't seem like someone who should be in this place. But the leopard demon's mind was already filled with the delicious taste of human flesh and blood, so he didn't have time to think about anything else. He pounced on the human!

Blood splattered everywhere!
