All Heavens: Starting as a Sacrifice

As Li Yi traveled along, he encountered an enormous divine ox.

It is golden in color and is over 20 meters tall and over 50 meters long.

Its body radiated golden flames, and as its hooves trod, ancient trees beneath its feet snapped and broke.

Even from several kilometers away from that divine ox, he could already feel the heat wave hitting him.

A sea of ​​fire had already engulfed the divine bull.

Li Yi originally went there to compete for a spiritual fruit, but after seeing the ox, he changed course without much thought.

This level of ferocious beast is far beyond what he can currently provoke.

Along the way, he encountered more than a dozen ferocious beasts, but the strongest was still that divine bull, which was terrifying and mystical.

Other ferocious beasts, though powerful, are far from reaching this level.

Li Yi felled several large trees with his bare hands, quickly cleared an area on the low hill, and built a simple wooden house.

The wooden house was covered with a lot of weeds, and then covered with soil. Such a house could provide simple shelter from the wind and rain.

A wooden plank was laid out in the room, some dry grass was found, and a blanket was laid on top, so that one could rest.

The little girl looked on happily as the house came into being from nothing.

For her, this was a very important thing.

Her home was gone because her only family member was taken away, and she was left to wander in the wilderness.

Now a new house stands here, her new home, she has a home again, she has family again.

No longer a child adrift and helpless.

After the wooden house was built, Nannan, who had regained some of her energy, skipped and hopped into it to take a look.

Although the house was very simple, in her eyes it was the best place to be.

Because this is her own home, she will no longer have to wander in the wild and will have a house to live in. Even if the house is simple, it is very good for her.

"Come here." Li Yi stretched out her palm, and Nannan knew exactly what she was going to do.

My older brother wants to test my strength. When I become very strong, he will teach me how to cultivate.

"Ah!" She used all her strength to push against Li Yi's palm.

"Hmm. Some progress." Li Yi nodded slightly. In the past ten days or so, he had discovered quite a few spiritual fruits.

Some spiritual fruits will cause wild beasts or even ferocious beasts to riot when they appear, while others will be born quietly without leaving any trace.

If he hadn't practiced visualization techniques to sharpen his mind, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover those spiritual fruits.

Over the past ten days or so, he has picked four or five fruits, some of which he ate to enhance his own strength, and the rest he used to power up the Heavenly Treasure Record.

As for Nannan, she can only eat a small piece of spiritual fruit each time to enhance herself.

In addition, the meat it eats every day contains a lot of energy, so its physical condition is getting stronger day by day. Now its punch can be about 100 kilograms strong.

However, they are still a very, very long way from reaching the threshold of becoming a quasi-martial artist.

However, given her young age, not even five years old, her physical abilities and strength are quite remarkable.

It's clear that Nannan isn't happy with this pace of progress; she always feels it's too slow.

She desperately wanted to quickly learn about cultivation techniques so she could save her brother.

Chapter Forty: Beast Taming

Li Yi knew what Nannan was thinking, so he patted her head and said softly, "Don't worry, Nannan, your brother will be fine."

That's all he can say now, even though he knows in his heart that Nannan's brother has most likely been sacrificed.

But he couldn't say it like that, at least he couldn't tell her directly like that.

This is too cruel for a small child.

I'll keep lying to her for as long as I can. I'll try to tell her the truth when she's a little older.

"Really?" Nannan looked up, her eyes full of hope and earnestness.

After spending more than ten days together, she had already come to regard Li Yi as her brother and her family.

Nannan now believes everything she says without a doubt.

"Of course it's true." Li Yi forced a smile, reached out and picked her up, turning his gaze into the distance, not daring to look directly into her eyes.

The little girl didn't think much of it and laughed happily.

If Li Yi says his brother is alright, then he really is alright.

“Yes, little girl, you should smile more. If your brother were here with you, he would definitely want you to be happy every day.” Li Yi smiled, but sighed inwardly.

Nannan has suffered a lot in the past, and she may have to suffer a lot in the future.

As long as I'm by his side, I hope he'll be happy for as long as possible.

Kids can have a much easier life; there's no need for them to worry so much.

"Mmm." Nannan nodded with a smile, imagining herself rescuing her brother and bringing him here as well.

She introduced Li Yi to her brother, so that she would have two brothers, and her brother would also have a brother.

The little girl giggled foolishly, dreaming about the future.

"You rest here for now, don't go out unnecessarily. I have some things to take care of," Li Yi whispered to him.

The wooden house he built was simple, with no door at all, just an opening for entry and exit.

Nannan nodded obediently; she was a very well-behaved child.

Especially after arriving in the wilderness, she realized that some places in the wilderness were very dangerous and could take her life at any time, so she could not go out and wander around.

Li Yi stepped out of the wooden house. Since he had decided to stay here temporarily, he had to create a safe environment.

Whether it's ferocious beasts or wild animals, you must scout ahead and ideally eliminate some of them beforehand.

In addition, he planned to try to tame a few wild beasts, and his mental strength continued to grow stronger after these days of meditation.

His mental strength is more than three times stronger than it was a dozen days ago, and his resilience has also increased significantly.

However, all of this is because he has just begun his cultivation. The early stages of cultivation are very easy and quick, but the later stages require more and more time.

As his mental strength grows, he can also use his mental power to move certain objects.

This is another form of training besides visualization, and it is even much faster than simple visualization.

This training method also has drawbacks, namely, it cannot significantly improve the sensitivity and control of one's spiritual power.

This method of cultivation cannot improve the sensitivity of the soul and spirit in the same way.

If you're only fighting using mental power, this training method has no drawbacks.

If you want to use your soul control and sensitivity to refine medicine, craft artifacts, make talismans, or forcibly tame wild beasts, you must practice visualization techniques.

Because whether it's alchemy, weapon crafting, or talisman making, it requires an extremely high level of control and sensitivity of the creator's soul.

Li Yi is now using both methods simultaneously, pushing his mental energy to its limit.

However, the main method of training is to directly use mental energy to move objects, and using visualization techniques is indeed very effective.

But what I lack most right now is strength.

Li Yi quickly traversed the entire low hill, the area around which was not considered safe.

There are quite a few ferocious beasts, including lions, tigers, bears, leopards, and wolves.

In addition, there is a weaker ferocious beast, but this beast is a water beast, a large fish more than ten feet long, which hides in the pool at the top of the mountain.

If I hadn't observed the big fish leaping out of the spring, I probably wouldn't have noticed it.

After walking around, he gained two more ferocious beasts under his command, a bear and a tiger.

As for the other beasts that tried to control the ferocious creatures, they have already died.

Since it was the first time Li Yi had forcibly controlled other beasts and left a mark on their souls, he failed to control the intensity.

In addition, he leaped into the spring and successfully killed the large fish, which was over ten feet long, covered in silver scales, and had extremely long whiskers.

His physical condition has now reached the level of a high-level warrior. Li Yi estimates his strength to be around 40,000 kilograms.

The threshold for becoming a beginner war god is 64,000 kilograms. If he finds a few more spiritual fruits or is given more time, he will surely be able to break through to this level.

Breaking through to the beginner level of War God is easy, but advancing from the beginner level to the intermediate level of War God is not so simple.

The threshold for becoming an intermediate-level War God is 128,000 kilograms.

"Catch!" Li Yi jumped out of the clear, cold pool. The spring water in the pool was extraordinary; its bone-chilling coldness made one extremely calm.

Furthermore, while soaking in it, one can vaguely feel that the spring water can temper one's body.

However, it cannot last too long because the internal cold is too intense.

This spring water is like a whirlpool, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy into it.

The best way to cultivate oneself is here.

It must be said that the world of Shrouding the Heavens is richer in spiritual energy and has more rare and precious treasures than Earth.

Unfortunately, Earth is just a tiny, remote corner of the universe, so backward that many things simply don't exist there.

Moreover, there are a large population on Earth, which is the most important point, and even if there are some resources, they have already been exhausted.

The area he was in was perhaps also a poor and remote place in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

But there were few people here, and the vast mountains stretched for countless miles; it was just him and his daughter.

Even though there are demonic beasts and ferocious beasts that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their total number is still much less than that of humans.

Therefore, there will inevitably be countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth accumulating there, and it will be much easier for you to absorb them than on Earth.

The same principle applies to rare and precious natural resources; with vast lands and sparse populations, the per capita availability is frighteningly high.

The savage bear he had subdued reached out and took the big fish. After being branded with a spiritual imprint, it would instinctively obey Li Yi's commands.

Furthermore, on a spiritual level, they cannot generate even the slightest thought of resistance.
