The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger couldn't be bothered to shake the gorge to the point it shook, and its eyes that were large like gongs stared wide open as it looked at the yellow colored figure that slowly descended from the sky.
Why has this great aunt returned?
My life is over!
The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger shouted in its heart.
"Big Guy, I never imagined that you missed me so much and were actually so excited when you saw me."
The yellow clothed young woman descended from the sky and stood on the broad back of the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger, and her mischievous eyes flickered with craftiness as she lightly smiled.
Instantly, the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger's body stiffened, and it didn't dare tremble in the slightest.
It didn't want to infuriate this great aunt.
If this great aunt was unhappy and used her Ice Concept to condense ice to seal it, then it would really not know who to cry to.
From the beginning until the end, the actions of the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger were noticed by Duan Lingtian who followed behind it.
"This big fellow is completely and utterly afraid of Xue Nai now."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, come quickly."
Han Xuenai stood on the back of the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger as she called out to Duan Lingtian.
Swish! Swish!
Duan Lingtian was still in midair when a black and white bolt of lightning flashed out from beneath his sleeve, and they descended onto the back of the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger first.
It was precisely the two little pythons.
"These two little fellows are so swift."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene before him.
In the past, the cultivations of these two little fellows had surpassed him.
Now, many years had passed since that time, and he'd obtained fortuitous encounters repeatedly, yet he was still unable to compare to these two little fellows.
"I hope I'll be able to surpass these two little fellows in one go after I come out from the Sword Monarch's Treasure this time."
Duan Lingtian spoke silently in his heart.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian descended onto the back of the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger as well.
"Big Guy, let's go! Return to the Darkstone Empire. "
Han Xuenai lightly stomped her foot.
The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger was so shocked that it trembled. The canyon once again began to shake. At the same time, it flew up and disappeared into the clouds.
Subsequently, he brought along Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai and headed towards the Darkstone Empire.
On the way, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged and quietly cultivated.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Lightning Wyrm Transformation!
A month's time passed quickly.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian had completely exhausted the medicinal strength of the Void Fuse Fruit, and his cultivation had approached the bottleneck after the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage.
It was also the final bottleneck of the Void Prying Stage.
So long as Duan Lingtian comprehended a type of Concept and broke through this bottleneck, he would be able to officially break through to the Void Initiation Stage, and his strength would undergo a tremendous change.
"My cultivation will step into the final bottleneck of the Void Prying Stage in at most a month … At that time, what I have to do is comprehend Wind Concept or Lightning Concept and step into the Void Initiation Stage in one go!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he thought to himself.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, we've arrived at the Darkstone Empire."
Meanwhile, Han Xuenai's voice that was like an oriole sounded out.
"Xue Nai."
Duan Lingtian suddenly thought of something. "Ask this big fellow to head towards the northeast of the Darkstone Empire … I want to go retrieve something."
"Big Brother Ling Tian, what do you want to retrieve?"
Xue Nai asked curiously.
"I don't know for now."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
Han Xuenai was even more curious when she heard Duan Lingtian, and she instructed the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger to head towards the northeast of the Darkstone Empire.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, where are you going?"
Xue Nai couldn't refrain herself from asking.
"Flourishing Summer City."
Duan Lingtian spoke slowly.
Flourishing Summer City was precisely the place Duan Lingtian had gone to when he headed to the Darkhan Dynasty for the first time before the Young Genius Competition of the Darkstone Empire began.
At Flourishing Summer City's Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he issued a bounty assignment.
A grade four spirit sword as a bounty for the Ageless Root.
At that time, when he failed to issue a bounty in the Darkhan Dynasty's Milky Way City's Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he wasn't in a rush to retrieve the grade four spirit sword from Flourishing Summer City.
He'd always been thinking that perhaps someone would be able to find the Ageless Root after a period of time.
"Now, I wonder if someone has found the Ageless Root … If there isn't, then there's probably no hope for the Darkstone Empire."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
At this moment, he looked forward so much that when he arrived at the Flourishing Summer City's Treasure Gathering Pavilion, what he brought back wasn't a grade four spirit sword, but the Ageless Root.
If he was able to obtain the Ageless Root, then not to mention a grade four spirit sword.
Even if it was 10 grade four spirit swords, Duan Lingtian would still pay without the slightest hesitation.
The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger's speed was extremely swift, and it quickly arrived nearby Flourishing Summer City.
"Big Fellow, wait for me and Xue Nai here."
Duan Lingtian looked at the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger as he spoke.
The Three-Eyed Flame Tiger raised its head arrogantly and utterly paid no attention to Duan Lingtian.
"Big Guy, do you want to become a popsicle again?"
Right at this moment, Xue Nai's voice that was like a devil sounded out, causing the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger's body to be unable to refrain from trembling, and its exceedingly enormous head started to sway.
"Since you don't want to, then do whatever my Big Brother Ling Tian asks you to do in the future … Do you hear me?"
Xue Nai continued.
Meanwhile, the Three-Eyed Flame Tiger could only nod its enormous head while feeling wronged, and it didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, then he brought along Han Xuenai and the two little pythons to fly down and descend.
After entering Flourishing Summer City, Duan Lingtian brought along Han Xuenai and rushed towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
"Oh, what a beautiful little girl … Little Girl, don't follow this pretty boy in the future. Follow me and I guarantee you'll eat well."
Suddenly, a frivolous voice sounded out.
At the side of the road, a bald man that was covered in drunkenness flew out to pounce towards Han Xuenai, and his face was filled with a lustful smile.
"You're courting death!"
Duan Lingtian's face sank, and he wanted to make a move.
Right at this moment.
Swish!
A wave of piercing howls sounded out, and Duan Lingtian only saw a black bolt of lightning flash past.
Subsequently, the bald man's chest abruptly exploded open when he was still halfway there, and beautiful and dazzling fresh blood ceaselessly gushed out.
The bald man's pupils constricted as his legs straightened and he directly fell onto the ground, and he was completely devoid of any signs of life.
Dead!
Swish!
The black bolt of lightning appeared once more, and this time, it descended onto Han Xuenai's shoulder and revealed its figure.
It was precisely the little black snake.
"Hiss hiss ~"
The little black snake complacently shook its little head, and it flicked its tongue as it looked at Han Xuenai, as if it was asking for credit.
"Little Black is so obedient."
Han Xuenai wasn't surprised in the slightest by the little black snake swiftly attacking and killing the bald man, and she lightly rubbed the little black snake's little head with a face filled with doting.
Meanwhile, the surrounding people all looked at the man and snake with terror, and they all retreated backwards.
They were deeply afraid of offending this pair of maleficent existences.
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at the bald man's corpse before raising his head and continuing forward.
Even though Flourishing Summer City was chaotic as before.
But because of the bald man's death, Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai had become existences that no one dared rashly offend.
They smoothly arrived at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
After walking into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and ascending to the second floor, it was still that counter. Duan Lingtian withdrew half a jade pendant and passed it to the middle aged man behind the counter. "Did I obtain the reward for the Ageless Root with a grade four spirit sword that day?"
The middle aged man was still the same person from before, and he returned to his senses when he heard Duan Lingtian, and only now did he recognize Duan Lingtian. "Customer, the thing you want hasn't been obtained yet … Are you continuing the reward or withdrawing the reward?"
"Withdrawing the reward."
Duan Lingtian said.
He didn't have the slightest hope of finding the Ageless Root in the Darkstone Empire now.
"Alright."
The middle aged man withdrew an exquisite long box from under the counter, and after he opened it, a spirit sword silently laid there …
It was precisely the grade four spirit sword that Duan Lingtian had deposited in the box that day!
The middle aged man placed the half jade pendant Duan Lingtian passed over together with the other half jade pendant in the box, and then he nodded. "Exactly. Customer, this is your reward. "
As he spoke, the middle aged man withdrew the spirit sword and passed it to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian received the spirit sword and directly put it away in his Spatial Ring.
"Customer, aren't you going to confirm it?"
The middle aged man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Duan Lingtian's straightforward actions.
Isn't this young man afraid that the spirit sword isn't the grade four spirit sword of the past?
After all, the outer appearance of a spirit sword was extremely easy to imitate.
"There's no need for that!"
Duan Lingtian shook his head, then turned around and left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with Han Xuenai.
What a joke!
Not to mention his Spiritual Force was sufficient to directly detect the level of the spirit sword.
Even if he didn't use his Spiritual Force to detect it today, he'd already confirmed it when his hand touched the spirit sword.
The spirit sword from before was indeed the grade four spirit sword he'd casually refined that day.
After leaving the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai had a meal together before leaving Flourishing Summer City.
They'd only just left the city when Han Xuenai sent a voice transmission to Duan Lingtian. "Big Brother Ling Tian, someone is following us …"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He'd noticed long ago.
Since the moment he left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he'd noticed that someone was following him and Han Xuenai from the shadows.
That person's cultivation was rather profound.
It was an existence at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
"A man's wealth is his own ruin by causing others' greed … These words aren't wrong in the slightest."
Duan Lingtian sighed.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, what you mean is that person came for the grade four spirit sword we just obtained from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"
Han Xuenai asked.
"Only this possibility."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and his eyes flashed. "Moreover, that person's identity ought to not be simple … It's even to the extent that he might be the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion!"
An existence at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
In Flourishing Summer City, Duan Lingtian could only connect that person with the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
As for the others, it was probably impossible for them to possess such a cultivation.
Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai had just left the city not long ago.
Swoosh!
Piercingly cold howls of the wind swept over, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived not far ahead of Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai.
An aged figure appeared before the eyes of Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai.
This was an old man with a robust figure, a goatee, and a pair of eyes that flickered with a sheen of greed.
"The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"
Even though Duan Lingtian had his guesses, he still asked for confirmation.
"You're extremely smart, you were actually able to guess my identity."
