Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, with the help of the Nameless Fruit, had already perfected their practice of the Body Refining Scripture. Any further progress was almost impossible to achieve.
According to Old Man Lin, the two of them were considered to have reached Completion in the Blood Realm.
Although Lin Xin Tong’s training could still be considered unambitious, her natural talent was undeniable. Her rapid progress was inevitable.
However, Lin currently only had the Body Refining Scripture, and as Old Man Lin had said, it was strong but only limited to the Blood Realm.
The Blood Realm was about refining the physical body and boosting vitality to the point it was like a vast river. If the human body were compared to a vessel, refining it was about making the vessel bigger and more robust.
This stage required mobilizing all the essence and blood in the body to surge like thunder, refining the Bone Script, triggering divine brightness in the blood, hence refining the creation of heaven and earth, nourishing the body.
However, beyond the Blood Realm was different. Taking the Cave Heaven Realm as an example, it required the use of runes from beasts or birds of prey, engraving them into one’s body to open up the Cave Heaven. This process usurps the creation of heaven and earth and allows the practitioner to directly absorb divine elements from the environment to replenish themselves.
Coupled with each realm is the Treasured Technique, which comes from inside a beast, perhaps from its skull, or perhaps any fragment of bone in its body.
The entirety of the beast’s life force is condensed onto this, manifested in the form of Bone Script.
!!..
Treasured Technique, Bone Script, Bone Implement, Blood Realm, Cave Heaven…
For some reason, Jiang Hui suddenly felt more and more familiar with these subjects.
He felt as though he had seen similar descriptions somewhere in a novel…
However, he had read far too many and varied books in his past life and couldn’t recall which one it was for the time being.
He regretted not reading less…the books he’d read in the past were now all jumbled together in his mind.
Sighing, Jiang Hui organized his thoughts. He planned to slowly ponder on this matter when he had time. For now, the pressing matter was to acquire a Treasured Technique.
So, Jiang Hui went straight to Little Black.
As a Fierce Beast, and one with a remarkable bloodline, Little Black should undoubtedly have its own Treasured Technique.
However, what Jiang Hui never expected in a million years was that aside from an incredibly tough body and venomous tusks, Little Black employed no other offensive measures.
Helplessly, Jiang Hui could only seek an alternative.
Suddenly, he remembered the Fierce Beast with a roaring voice.
The creature was extraordinarily menacing, and being a Fierce Beast, it might possess a Treasured Technique.
Jiang Hui quickly made inquiries to Little Black about any unusual attacking methods the beast might have used.
Fortunately, this query didn’t disappoint him. Based on Little Black’s description, that Fierce Beast seemed to possess a Treasured Technique.
The beast could shoot out two glimmering streams of golden light from its eyes that were as fast as lightning and impossible to dodge. It was potent and highly destructive; otherwise, Little Black wouldn’t have lost several scales.
“Blackie, I need you to go deep into the Wilderness again and bring back that Fierce Beast. Whether it’s alive or dead doesn’t matter, but ensure your own safety.
If that Fierce Beast is already gone, bring back any other…” Jiang Hui commanded, using his Divine Ability Dream of Millet.
He didn’t have the methods or scripture required to open Cave Heaven, so he couldn’t guide the villagers to the second realm.
Therefore, if he wanted to improve the strength of the entire Liu Village, the only method was to acquire a Treasured Technique.
At the same time, he sent a message to the two brothers, Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen, asking them to accompany Little Black on the journey.
Even though the two brothers were still in the Blood Realm, their raw power was formidable—unmatched in the Blood Realm and incredibly frightening.
Moreover, because of the Inferior Dragon Elephant Power Pill, the strength of Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen wasn’t just limited to a hundred thousand pounds.
Lin Chen possessed a strength of a hundred forty thousand pounds, and Lin Zhuang even reached a horrifying one hundred sixty thousand pounds. Under such exaggerative strength, even an ordinary cultivator of the Cave Heaven Realm without a Treasured Technique wouldn’t be their match. Even a slight negligence could lead to them being crushed by a single punch.
“Older brother, second brother, you two should look out for each other on the road.”
Knowing that her two children were about to venture deep into the Wilderness, Mrs. Zhang became worried. However, since it was the directive of the revered Willow God, Mrs. Zhang couldn’t voice any objections despite her reservations. Instead, she warned them repeatedly before they left.
“Enough, old woman! This isn’t a matter of life and death. Also, we have the protection of the Black Python Protector during the journey. What else could we have to worry about?” Old Man Lin urged impatiently, while keeping his eye on a giant shadow in the corner that looked like a small mountain.
The figure had become even more imposing after years of not seeing it.
The feeling it brought was entirely different from the one given by Lord Willow God.
Lord Willow God was profound and unpredictable, unknown and unseen, like a lonesome traveler in the vast starry sky. No one dared to think they could keep pace with him.
The black python, on the other hand, was much more direct and instilled a sense of terror.
Unable to help it, Old Man Lin couldn’t forget the incident from many years ago.
Huo Long, who was in the Cave Heaven Realm, couldn’t withstand even one hit from the Black Python Protector and was beaten to a pulp—an extremely cruel sight.
The current figure was undoubtedly a thorough-blooded god of death.
However, because of this, Old Man Lin was not worried. The Black Python Protector’s strength was evident to all. Stepping back, even in the face of insurmountable danger, the Black Python Protector should be able to escape easily given its speed.
As long as they return to Liu Village, and with Lord Willow Tree’s protection, they can surely return safely!
“May the Black Python Protector, Big Brother, and Second Brother have a smooth journey, and may you return home quickly,” Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears at the corner of her eyes and forced a smile.
“Don’t worry, Mother.” Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen waved their hands, signaling to Mrs. Zhang to ease her worries.
Upon hearing that they were about to venture deep into the Wilderness, their first reaction was not concern, but excitement.
Simply because they were too powerful, the beasts around them fled as though they had seen the living Yama, depriving them of hunting for several days.
This time in the Wilderness, besides wanting to taste some beast meat, they also wanted to seek a breakthrough in their power through battle.
After all, their cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and ordinary cultivation had completely ceased to have any effect. They needed to find another way.
With the Black Python leading the way and setting a specific direction, several figures were immediately enveloped by the vast forest.
Compared to the fringe area, the ancient trees in the Wilderness were even more majestic, powerful, and their huge crowns seemingly capable of shrouding the sky.
Moreover.
The mountain ranges here were more rugged and longer, even from a high location, one could only see the overlapping mountains. Further away, the mountains were towering and vast…
Along the way, they didn’t encounter any beasts at first, but they did run into group after group of reckless wild animals.
The wild animals here were larger in size and more ferocious, with their sharp fangs exposed and casting glowering glances at Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen.
“Brother, look, these animals don’t flee upon seeing us?” Lin Chen, with his hands on his hips, looked excited.
“Let’s act quickly. The Black Python is still waiting for us ahead.” Lin Zhuang stretched his limbs, and his body, like a cannonball, launched directly towards the encircling wild animals.
A moment later.
With the sight of scared animals running around like headless chickens, Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen finally stopped, content.
For the following days, everything went smoothly on the road, and no wild animals dare to surround them again.
One day.
They came across a stream.
Little Black, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and lifted his triangular head as if facing a great enemy.
Following the direction of Little Black’s gaze, Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen saw a creature, and their eyes narrowed.
Not far from them, a massive creature around five to six meters tall was also staring at them across the stream.
It was a vicious beast similar to a monkey. Its whole body was covered with red fur, its sharp fangs were exposed, and its eyes were as red as fire. It pounded its chest with its huge hands, making repetitive roars at them.
Under its roar, all the surrounding animals fled in panic, including the large beasts like bears and tigers.
With such power, it was undoubtedly a ferocious beast, and certainly not a good sort.
Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen immediately took a sharp breath.
Fortunately, the brothers did not feel much fear. Being next to the large figure of Little Black, Lin Zhuang and Lin Chen felt uncharacteristically safe.
The Black Python Protector was very perceptive. It appeared to have some sort of method to predict good and bad luck. If it didn’t retreat, that meant it was confident in dealing with the ferocious beast in the distance.
And so it was.
Little Black raised its head, semi-erect, and looked like a small mountain. Even the Gorilla Beast looked pitifully small in comparison.
It kept flicking its tongue, sizing up the enemy, and felt that the beast was no match for it.
However, this Ape Beast was no ordinary creature. Ignoring the size disparity and feeling disrespected by Little Black’s disregard, it became enraged. Its fiery red eyes seemed as though they could spew fire.
“Roar-”
With a roar, the beast took the initiative to attack, picking up a huge stone, about ten meters in size, and threw it hard.
“Clang…”
Little Black also acted simultaneously. Its huge tail, like a ferociously sharp whip, shattered the flying boulder in mid-air…
Its body grew even stronger. The scales that had fallen off had grown back, reflecting dazzling cold light under the mottled sunlight.
“Hiss…”
On the ground.
Little Black was extremely fast, like a black lightning bolt, leaving only afterimages behind, and in an instant, it reached the Gorilla Beast’s face.
The beast did not seem to have reacted. Its bright red eyes revealed a hint of panic, but before it could recover, a surge of intense stabbing pain quickly spread from its chest to the rest of its body….
