A Good Romance

At the beginning of the world's upheaval, much of the information from the first ruins was made public for everyone to study in an attempt to find a way for humanity to escape their predicament.
Among them were the simplest formations like the Three Origin Formation. There was also a Rare Herb Collection that recorded large amounts of information on rare fruits.
Now, almost every force had a copy of this information, which was extremely practical.
The Crouching Bell Fruit was a treasure fruit recorded in the Rare Herb Collection. It could allow cultivators with nine meridians and above to smoothly advance by a stage.
This was very meaningful.
Nine meridians to ten meridians was a qualitative leap. By releasing one's strength, one's battle prowess would multiply or even multiply.
Because of this, the step from nine to ten meridians was extremely difficult.
Even a genius like Li Zhangdan had been stuck at peak nine meridians for more than a year without any hope of breaking through. In the Ancient Dao Sect, the fastest person to break through to ten meridians was Sun Jianfang at 54.
At that time, there were treasures appearing all over the world, and there was no clear division of factions. Thus, it wasn't very difficult to obtain rare fruits. Most of the time, it depended on luck.
But now, it was different. Basically, all the famous mountains and lakes with treasures and spirit herbs were occupied by factions that wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
The Crouching Caltrop Fruit had appeared in a pool of water and was accidentally discovered by someone. However, there was still a python in the pool that had definitely reached ten meridians. It was constantly guarding the Crouching Chestnut Vine.
If it was some other treasure fruit, then everyone would have been afraid of this python and might have let it go.
But the Crouching Ling Fruit was different.
As long as one didn't reach 12 meridians, everyone would be jealous.
As long as one didn't reach 12 meridians, everyone would be jealous.
Moreover, this python definitely hadn't reached 12 meridians, but which faction didn't have a 12 meridian expert?
This naturally boosted people's courage.
Sun Jianfang would personally lead a team to the pond. But the biggest opponent wasn't the python, but the experts sent by other factions.
Such a good thing would definitely cause a fight. Who didn't want a 10 meridian expert in their faction?
If one cultivated by themselves, it would be difficult to reach that level before they were 70 or 80 years old. At that time, the body's functions would slowly deteriorate. No matter how strong one's secret power was, there was a limit to one's stamina, and it would definitely affect one's battle prowess.
This was the principle that the fist was afraid of the young and strong.
Therefore, after this news spread, the nearby forces would definitely be eager to make a move.
There was no time to lose. In just a day, Ling Han followed Sun Jianfang on his journey, accompanied by Gu Tang and the other elders, as well as the younger generation like Nie Yang, Lao Liyan, and Tan Gaobo.
These elders all had their own plans. They wanted to leave the Crouching Bell Fruit for their descendants. As long as they ate it at the ninth meridian level, they would be able to reach the tenth meridian level in one go.
If he could reach ten meridians before the age of thirty, his future would be limitless.
This pool was in Sealed Mountain, and it would take about 10 days to travel from the Ancient Dao Sect. This was assuming there were no delays along the way, or else it would take even longer.
Ling Han was baffled and asked, "It's been so long, could it be that the Crouching Caltrop Fruit hasn't been picked yet?"
Sun Jianfang smiled and said, "The Crouching Caltrop Fruit hasn't ripened yet, so even if someone arrives now, they won't be able to pick it. At most, they'll just get rid of that python."
So that was how it was.
They traveled day and night and only rested when they were tired. However, every day, when the sun rose, no one would miss the half an hour of cultivation, so they all practiced.
Ling Han found an excuse to leave. He used the Monkey King's cultivation method to cultivate, and only after he finished did he meet up with everyone.
However, he couldn't always find an excuse to leave. Sometimes, Ling Han had to follow everyone and use the Square Fist to absorb the mysterious energy of the heavens and earth. However, there were too many impurities in the energy, so it was too impure. He needed to use the Monkey King's cultivation method to purify it, but it was slow and a waste of time.
Luckily, it only took about 10 days. On the 11th day, they arrived at Sealed Mountain.
There weren't any ruins here, so it wasn't occupied by any human power. There weren't many demonic beasts either, and they were at most two or three meridians. As such, very few people would come here.
It was because a herb gatherer came here to try his luck and saw the python at the edge of a pool. He gathered his courage and went over to take a look, and he found the Crouching Bell Fruit.
That person sold this information to several forces, and in the end, the information was leaked, and everyone knew about it.
Among Ling Han's group, there were as many as eight people with ten meridians and above. This force was too strong. Occasionally, they would run into wild beasts or demonic beasts, but they would all be killed with a palm or a punch from afar, becoming their next meal.
Demonic beasts evolved and used their mysterious energy to refine their bodies. Their meat was also exceptionally delicious. Even if it was just roasted, it would still be delicious.
Nie Yang, Tan Gaobo, and the rest of the younger generation usually stayed in the sect. Since there weren't any demonic beasts in the Sea Level Mountain, they didn't want to go back. Instead, they returned with a sumptuous meal.
As he walked, Ling Han saw too many city ruins. Most of them had been abandoned, while some had become the playground of demonic beasts, occupied by them.
Instead, humans built new cities with iron castles to defend against demonic beasts.
But even so, there were still castles that fell. There was a place that left Sun Jianfang and the others speechless for a long time.
This was because this castle had been flattened with a single stomp.
Just how enormous was his body and how terrifying was his strength to be able to flatten a steel fortress made of Earthen Yuan Iron with a single stomp?
If such a terrifying beast attacked the Ancient Dao Sect, would the Ancient Dao Sect be able to stop it?
According to Sun Jianfang's guess, some demonic beasts had broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm first, and their power had increased tremendously, which was why they had such terrifying power.
This was not good news. The reason the human race was able to survive was because a 12 meridian cultivator had appeared among the humans, and they could rival the strongest of the demonic beasts. However, once a 12 meridian cultivator appeared among the demonic beasts, the balance would be broken.
"There's no need to worry too much. The Ancient Dao Sect has a formation protecting it, so it's not a place that any random cat or dog can casually charge in." Sun Jianfang saw that everyone's morale was low, so he comforted them. Then he said something very domineering, "Besides, this old man is here, so what is there to be afraid of?"
This was the Ancient Dao Sect's way of tempering oneself. Back then, it was Sun Jianfang who had used his fists to flatten Peaceful Sea Mountain. Even the demonic beasts had to retreat and give up this treasure mountain.
He Guan and the others all nodded, but they were also worried. Sun Jianfang was old, and he was close to 150 years old. How many more years could he last?
