In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed. Nothing strange happened during this time.
Hanjiang was a deserted area, so no one would come to disturb him.
Yuchi liked this feeling very much. During this time, he had been comprehending his Heavenly Dao every day to increase his Dao aura.
Every day, he would fight these artifact spirits.
The most powerful artifact spirit he encountered had reached the SS-grade.
That particular artifact spirit had allowed him to view ten days’ worth of its memory fragments, and he managed to explore a location that was the size of a large town.
The artifact spirit itself had all sorts of attributes.
Artifact spirit attributes varied greatly, from a conventional movement speed, strength or defense boost, to more unusual things like summoning warhorses, animals, and even other artifacts.
There were also artifact spirits that surprised Yuchi.These artifact spirits could create arrays as well as provide ways to increase one’s cultivation.
Currently, Yuchi was holding a thin, blood-red sword in his hand.
It was as long as his arm, but only as wide as his finger.
[Past: Hanjiang – Phoenix Sword]
[Difficulty: SS]
[Race: Artifact Spirit]
[Technique: Phoenix]
[Introduction: This sword is said to be the fiery tongue of a phoenix. It allows the wieler to transform into a phoenix.]
This was the SS-grade artifact spirit that he had encountered some time ago.
It was actually able to turn him into a phoenix.
As for whether this phoenix was a real phoenix… who knew?
Yuchi certainly did not know.
He had tried to use this technique.
There was no problem with the technique itself. After using it, he would instantly trade his human form and turn into a phoenix, which in this case was a bird with blood-red feathers all over its body. When the feathers vibrated, they would give off sparks.
It had a wingspan of two meters, a height of one meter, and a long, slender feathered tail.
It was awe-inspiring.
In this form, all of his attacks would be imbued with fire elemental power.
The phoenix’s strength was not just dependent on the artifact spirit’s strength, but also on his own strength.
In other words…
Although the Phoenix Sword was only an SS-grade artifact spirit, it still had a lot of potential.
Yuchi decided to continue fishing in the river until he found a Dao realm artifact spirit. He very much wanted to gain an understanding of what attributes and techniques such artifact spirits possessed.
Of course, fishing was not the only thing he did.
Yuchi’s comprehension of the Heavenly Dao had also increased, and he had finally reached the first-grade of the Dao realm.
[Name: Yuchi]
[Constitution: 2.4 million]
[Strength: 2.62 million]
[Speed: 2.92 million]
[Dao Aura: first grade (1%)]
[Skill 1: Dragon spine (Level 8). Like the Vast Sea Dragon King, your spine is extremely strong, and can disperse the soul of the opponent!]
[Skill 2: Netherworld bloodsucking (Level 3). Like a Nether Swordfish, when you kill an enemy, you can extract the blood essence from your enemy’s body to increase your own strength!]
[Skill 3: Hellfire Dance (Level 3) Like a Nether Swordfish, you can summon a hellfire tornado to attack the enemy.]
[Skill 4: Dragon Palm Strike (Level 8). Like the Vast Sea Dragon King, your fists possess extremely immense physical strength. A single palm strike can destroy a city.]
His constitution, strength, and speed had officially surpassed two million points.
Those stats might no longer seem useful, however, they played a vital role when fighting against those at the same cultivation level.
“Also…”
“I’m actually a rather lazy person.”
Yuchi looked at his four skills with a slight smile.
Dragon Spine and Dragon Palm strike were both level eight skills, which were quite strong.
However, the Netherworld Bloodsucking and Hellfire Dance skills had not been replaced for a long time.
Netherworld Bloodsucking could increase all of his attributes after killing an enemy. Although the proportion of the attribute increase was not high, it was still very effective. At least 1,000,000 of his attributes had been obtained through this skill.
Hellfire Dance was a skill that Yuchi was too lazy to change.
Every few days, he would comprehend different skills. These skills could easily replace Hellfire Dance, but he did not do so. The reason was simply because Hellfire Dance seemed to suit his taste.
Who would dislike a giant fire tornado that could cover the sky?
Unless of course there was an even bigger fire tornado.
Or perhaps something even more awe-inspiring…
In any case, it was pretty good.
The comfortable life he was living now was really not bad.
Yuchi was sitting at the edge of the pavilion, holding the fishing rod in his hand.
Many beautiful fish were swimming around, which Yuchi already considered his friends. To these fish, Yuchi was a harmless existence.
Sometimes, the fish would even very mischievously pull the bait into the water. Watching them playing around was an interesting pastime.
During this time, Yuchi also saw many new fish appearing in the area he was in, which was a result of the lack of predators here. The wild animals that preyed on these fish avoided Yuchi and hunted elsewhere.
A fisherman was actually protecting these fish. It was rather interesting.
Watching the falling snow, listening to the sounds of the wind, and fishing…
It was a really good life.
However, his life changed ten months after he arrived in Hanjiang.
The angel race’s Saintess was already rushing toward Yuchi’s location.
On a certain day.
She had pure white wings on her back, an extremely beautiful face, and a pair of warm and dignified eyes.
The Saintess had arrived at Yuchi’s pavilion.
She was now standing outside the pavilion, amidst the falling snow.
She very respectfully called out to Yuchi, “Senior. I’m Yu Shengyun from the angel race.”
“I am not here to fight Senior but, on behalf of the angel race, I would like to extend an invitation to you.”
Half a year ago, Yu Shengyun had received an order from the higher-ups of the angel race to find Yuchi and offer him an invitation.
However, at that time, she had been busy with her breakthrough and had no time to deal with this matter. After Fan Yuhe’s death, she was the only genius left in the angel race. As such, her responsibility was quite heavy.
Yu Shengyun, who had just broken through from the third grade to the second grade of the Dao realm, was only 26 years old this year.
She was even younger than Yuchi, who was 31 this year.
One of the rules of the angel race was that their members could only start officially cultivating at the age of 18.
The period before the age of 18 was used to prepare and pave the way for their future cultivation. Therefore, Yu Shengyun had only been cultivating for eight years.
She was shockingly talented!
From this, it could be seen that the angel race valued Yuchi.
Despite Yuchi having killed their genius, Fan Yuhe, they did not attack him. Instead, they sent their Saintess to offer him an invitation.
The contents of the invitation were also very simple.
Yu Shengyun lowered her head slightly.
Her gentle and charming eyes were difficult for most men to resist.
When Yuchi glanced at her, she said seriously, “Senior, we’d like to invite you to participate in a hunt.”
