The grass in the center of Xie Tian's Dao Pond had emerged by itself not long after the Void Dao Stele appeared. It had been several years since then.
Compared to before, at this moment, the grass that was full of light green had grown a piece of tender little leaf.
Xie Tian squatted beside the grass and observed it carefully.
According to his understanding, the Dao Pond was also a space, a universe.
Different from the space that contained all living beings, this space that belonged to him was very small, and the Heavenly Dao that controlled its operation was incomplete, so it was impossible for it to nurture a creature that belonged to him.
But it had appeared in his Dao Pond, and it had appeared so naturally and harmoniously that even he, the owner, had only just discovered it.
What did this mean?
It meant that the appearance of the grass was not an accident, but it had followed his own cultivation path and appeared unabruptly.
So here came the question —
"What is this grass?"
"What does this grass mean?"
"What does this grass represent to me?"
…
After observing for an hour, Xie Tian frowned more and more.
This was because Xiaocao, who he had inexplicably sensed, only gave him two feelings — —
First, it was full of vitality.
Second, it looked quite cute.
He didn't even find a trace of the aura of the 3,000 Great Daos on the grass.
"Sigh …"
In the end, Xie Tian sighed and gave up on thinking about the grass.
He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him.
Because his cultivation path had undergone great changes compared to the Qi warriors, body cultivators, soul cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, and all other cultivators in the Nine Heavens.
Self-molded Dao Pond.
Self-built Dao Stele.
There was a Void Dao Stele that didn't listen to him, but allowed him to see the bubble space with his naked eyes.
…
Previously, he knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to improve his cultivation after the series of changes.
And now, there was one more change.
After thinking about it, he was about to try to instill his power into the grass and try to observe its movements …
"You two, come with me."
Lord Liu said coldly and walked forward.
Wu Dong and Xie Tian looked at each other and could only follow.
The large bubble that the soldiers were in was only about ten thousand miles in radius.
In order to organize a defense in the instant the Demons discovered this place, the soldiers built the cave dwellings close to each other.
The cave abode was extremely simple and crude.
When Xie Tian walked into Lord Liu's cave abode, he didn't even see a single praying mat, let alone the dense immortal spiritual energy.
After thinking for a while, Xie Tian took out a few prayer mats and tables from his storage ring, as well as some food and wine.
The corner of Lord Liu's mouth twitched.
As an almighty being, he would not die if he did not eat.
But as a human, his natural instincts would make him salivate when he suddenly saw a table of fine wine and delicacies after not eating for three thousand years.
"This is probably the only benefit they've brought …"
With this thought, Lord Liu, whose appetite had been aroused by the fine wine and delicacies, calmed down.
"Since you're here, don't think about leaving. This will only make you die faster." Lord Liu pointed at his feet. "At least you can live for a while here."
Xie Tian smiled.
Wu Dong frowned and said, "We are …"
"I don't care who you are." Lord Liu glanced at Wu Dong and said calmly, "I know you're skilled in the Void Dao since you were able to observe Zhou Xi's Path of Understanding the Frog. But this is not enough for you to complete the rescue mission of the Burning Sun Valley."
After saying this, he looked at the two in Silence. After a while, he said, "If you have no objections, from today onwards, you're one of us, so …"
"So what?"
"So it's your turn to explore the Thousand Cave Mountain next time."
After an hour, Xie Tian finally found a cave abode that could accommodate two people among the many empty caves.
As soon as they entered, Wu Dong said angrily, "Xie Shao, that Liu guy treats us like laborers. How can you be ordered around by him? Besides, you're here to earn merits. There's no point in scouting for him … "
"It's good to scout," Xie Tian said with a smile. "At least the Thousand Cave Mountain is interesting."
"The Thousand Cave Mountain …" Wu Dong shuddered at the thought of the countless black holes in the Thousand Cave Mountain. "Xie Shao, judging from the situation here, the Thousand Cave Mountain is an entrance to countless spaces. Most of the people going in and out are demons, and there might even be demon generals …"
Xie Tian nodded, indicating that he could understand the worry in Wu Dong's words. But he said, "But it's also possible that we'll meet other lost soldiers, right?"
Wu Dong was speechless.
Among all of them, he was the only one who believed that Xie Tian might really be able to bring the surviving soldiers out of the Burning Sun Valley.
So the only problem now was how many people to bring out.
"For Xie Shao, it would be best to bring all of them out …"
But he shook his head as he thought of this.
"Even if I bring a thousand people out, it's only equivalent to killing one and a half demon generals. Why go through so much trouble …"
Wu Dong lay down lazily. Just as he was about to sigh at Xie Shao's strange way of experiencing life …
Zhou Xi walked into the cave abode.
Zhou Xi couldn't be polite to the two of them.
One had scolded him, and the other had humiliated him with a sincere look.
But this didn't stop him from handing over the task to the two who were going to replace him in exploring the Thousand Cave Mountain.
And this was what Xie Tian wanted to know.
"There are two purposes for exploring the Thousand Cave Mountain." Zhou Xi said expressionlessly, "First, to detect the Demons' movements. Second, if possible, to see if we can find other lost soldiers."
Xie Tian asked, "The other soldiers you mentioned, they shouldn't be here, right?"
Zhou Xi glanced at Xie Tian and said coldly, "How can you be sure? Do you have a deep understanding of this place? Or did you find the Frog Road that leads to other directions? "
Xie Tian knew that Zhou Xi was a little dissatisfied with him, but he was still puzzled by the other party's question.
Before he could speak, Zhou Xi said coldly.
"Since we are the same kind, I won't ask you how you managed to pass through the Frog Road. But let me warn you, this Frog Road was explored by hundreds of people over thousands of years! Every foothold is soaked in blood! It's not something you can show off! "
Hearing this, Xie Tian finally understood why the other party was angry. It was probably because his tone was too relaxed when he said that he had followed him here.
And after knowing that not everyone could see those bubble spaces, and that only he could, as well as the price Zhou Xi and the others had paid for this Frog Road, Xie Tian could more or less understand Zhou Xi's feelings. So he nodded and said, "Senior, we didn't mean to be disrespectful."
Hearing Xie Tian say so, Zhou Xi's expression became a little better, and then he said something more important.
"Of the two tasks, the first is especially important! Remember, once you find the Demons, you must first ensure that the Frog Road is not attracted to the Demons! "
Speaking up to this point, Zhou Xi suddenly realized something and said coldly, "You guys are lucky, you didn't meet the Demons …"
"Who said we didn't?" Wu Dong, who was lying on the ground, said lazily, "There were nine Demon Captains."
Hearing this, Zhou Xi was shocked, "You, you met them? What about them! "
"Do you even need to ask? Of course they were killed like vegetables."
"You?"
Xie Tian thought for a while, and then said humbly and seriously, "It was me, but it was definitely not vegetables."
Hearing such shameless words, Wu Dong rolled his eyes.
