Early in the morning, in the Cultivation World's Feiyu Continent, by a small stream in the depths of the Barren Ancient Forest.
Xiao Lingyu was wrapped in a layer of gray light. His breathing was steady, and his expression was serene. An inexplicable energy from heaven and earth slowly seeped into his body, and his skin was covered in smelly grayish-black stains.
These stains were expelled from his body when he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Chaos Formula. They were also the impurities in his body. Expelling these impurities would allow him to cultivate better, and allow his body to better accommodate the chaotic energy.
What was surprising was that there was one lying beside him, its tail forming a circle, and Xiao Lingyu was in the middle of that circle.
Whoosh!
Xiao Lingyu slowly stopped cultivating, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and stood up.
From his eyes, an almost imperceptible light shone. Those who were familiar with him would notice that Xiao Lingyu's skin was fairer than before, and his eyes were clearer and brighter.
"It's been a month. Although I haven't walked out of the Barren Ancient Forest, I've completed the Chaotic Foundation Establishment."
Xiao Lingyu muttered, then jumped into the stream beside him, letting the water wash away the stains on his body.
The stream water in the morning was bone-chilling. If Xiao Lingyu hadn't completed the Foundation Establishment cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the water for too long. But now, he only needed to circulate his energy slightly to ignore the coldness of the water.
He didn't come out of the water, but quietly thought for a while.
Obtaining the Nine Revolutions Chaos Formula gave him the confidence and capital to fight, giving him an advantage in cultivation that ordinary people couldn't reach. But his aptitude was much worse than that of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, as the successor of this branch, he didn't only enjoy the benefits of this peerless technique. He also had to bear certain obligations, such as the mission of retrieving the Chaos Spectrum that no one in his branch had ever completed.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there's no such thing as a free lunch. Rights and obligations are equal … These principles on Earth are also applicable in the Cultivation World!"
Xiao Lingyu smiled bitterly. She leaped out of the water and rose to a height of more than ten meters before stopping.
He gazed into the distance. This desolate ancient forest was still boundless. Other than the tall mountains blocking the way, the rest was boundless. The lush forest was like a green ocean with surging waves.
It seemed that it would take quite some time for him to get out of here.
Hiss hiss …
After Xiao Lingyu landed, the Spirit Severing Stage snake with the bloodline of the Azure Dragon rubbed its head against him twice, appearing very obedient.
"Hehe, there's no need. Master said that there are some things that I have to rely on myself to solve. If I can't even walk out of this Desolate Ancient Forest, how can I roam the world? This will be my first experience on the path of cultivation! "Xiao Lingyu said with a confident smile as she patted the snake's smooth but extremely hard head.
The serpent whimpered softly, but did not insist on helping.
"Let's go. Let's continue forward. Have a sharp nose and catch me a wild rabbit," Xiao Lingyu said as he walked forward.
The serpent followed closely behind Xiao Lingyu. Like a thief, it constantly glanced around with its eyes.
The serpent had already recognized Xiao Lingyu as its master. Of course, this was not voluntary. Xiao Lingyu's master, whom he had never seen before, used the chaotic essence to suppress the serpent and force it to recognize him as its master.
After recognizing him as its master, the serpent and Xiao Lingyu were connected mentally. It did not dare to disobey Xiao Lingyu in the slightest, much less attack Xiao Lingyu. It also did not dare to let Xiao Lingyu die. Otherwise, it would not have a good ending.
Originally, with Xiao Lingyu's strength, it was impossible for her to control the Spirit Severing Stage serpent. However, the method of recognizing him as its master was to use the chaotic essence to penetrate the serpent's soul. The serpent could not force it out at all. Moreover, in the entire Cultivation World, no one had such ability.
The day passed very quickly. Xiao Lingyu set up a bonfire and skinned the fat wild rabbit that the serpent had caught. She dug out its innards and roasted it over the fire.
After more than a month of practice, although there was no seasoning, the wild game that Xiao Lingyu roasted was barely enough to satisfy her hunger. Moreover, it was full of fragrance.
The serpent was also very greedy, but a wild rabbit was not enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. Moreover, it preferred to eat raw and demonic beasts with good cultivation. Therefore, this wild rabbit was only enjoyed by Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu had just eaten a few mouthfuls when the serpent's head, which was originally lying on the ground, suddenly rose.
Xiao Lingyu knew that a demonic beast or ferocious beast must have smelled the aroma and come over.
After pausing for a moment, the serpent seemed to have locked onto its target and directly pounced over.
Xiao Lingyu did not stop it. The serpent had always been responsible for his safety. Without this serpent, he would not be able to walk out of this desolate ancient forest safely.
He did not care too much. Although this serpent's cultivation was not the strongest in the desolate ancient forest, it was not something that ordinary demonic beasts could deal with. In more than a month, he had seen too many ferocious demonic beasts being swallowed or torn apart by the serpent. At first, he was a little nervous, but after a long time, he got used to it.
But this time, he was a little surprised. After he had eaten his fill, he did not see the serpent return. Instead, he heard the serpent continuously roaring. At the same time, he saw a flash of brilliance and heard continuous explosions.
Xiao Lingyu was a little worried about the serpent's safety. Although his cultivation was not very good, he still braced himself and quietly crept over.
Not long after, Xiao Lingyu could no longer move forward. This was because there was a constant gust of wind in front of him. With his current cultivation, he could not withstand it at all. He could only wait in the distance.
However, he could see that in mid-air, there were several figures flying around. Moreover, rays of dazzling light were constantly shooting into the sky. At this time, his serpent was also in mid-air. It was constantly twisting its body and sweeping in all directions. At the same time, it was constantly opening its mouth to spit out green-purple water arrows that collided with the dazzling streams of light.
The battle should be very intense. Xiao Lingyu's eyesight had improved by leaps and bounds. He could see that the serpent had the absolute upper hand, so he was not too worried.
However, no matter how Xiao Lingyu looked at the figures that were fighting with the snake, he felt that they were all human cultivators. Moreover, they already had good cultivation and skills.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the battle finally came to an end. Among the opponents, one of them was shot through by the serpent's water arrow and fell from the sky. The others all fled.
Because the serpent had to take care of Xiao Lingyu, it did not chase after them. Instead, it descended from the sky and came to Xiao Lingyu's side. It kept growling softly, as if it was asking Xiao Lingyu for a reward.
Xiao Lingyu did not pay attention to the serpent. Instead, he walked over to the cultivator who had fallen from the sky.
That cultivator was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. At this time, he was lying weakly on the ground, without any signs of life.
The serpent sniffed and seemed to realize that the young man was not completely dead. It opened its mouth and bit him again.
"Stop!" Xiao Lingyu hurriedly stopped it.
The serpent's sharp teeth stopped less than a centimeter away from the young man's body. It turned to look at Xiao Lingyu in confusion.
"We have no enmity with him. It's better if we don't take his life so easily," Xiao Lingyu said to the serpent.
The serpent growled softly and obediently crawled behind Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu checked the young man and found that he was indeed not completely dead. He was still alive, but his breathing was very weak. There was also a bloody hole in his chest that was gurgling with dark red blood.
The young man was obviously unconscious due to his severe injuries. If he was a normal person, he would have died on the spot. Even if he was a cultivator, it would still be very dangerous.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Lingyu stretched out his hands and used his chaotic essence to help heal the young man.
His master had said that chaotic essence had a very strong healing effect.
As the young man did not reject it, the chaotic essence easily entered the young man's body. Under Xiao Lingyu's control, the chaotic essence flowed through the young man's body and finally slowly acted on the young man's wound.
After more than four hours, Xiao Lingyu slowly stopped. He did not use much of his chaotic essence. After all, this kind of high-level energy seemed to be only a strand, but in reality, it contained a lot of energy. At least, it was unimaginable for cultivators in the Cultivation World.
After stabilizing the young man's injuries, Xiao Lingyu wanted to leave immediately. However, the young man was still unconscious. If he left, the young man would still be in great danger.
However, he did not want the young man to see him when he woke up, so he was very hesitant.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lingyu decided to find a secluded place to hide and watch over the young man. He felt that the young man's friends would definitely find this place.
In fact, it was exactly so. When the sky was slightly brighter, a few people finally came quietly.
As soon as they arrived, the large snake followed Xiao Lingyu's instructions and turned into a small snake that was only a foot long and hid in the treetops.
They first checked the young man. Then, they all looked very strange and started to talk.
Xiao Lingyu hid very far away and could not hear what they were saying. However, he could see their expressions. At this moment, he saw that they were all frowning and there were already people looking around.
During this time, someone had already taken out a golden pill and fed it to the injured young man.
After a while, the unconscious young man woke up. Then, he exchanged a few words with everyone and left hurriedly with the group of people.
Xiao Lingyu waited for more than half an hour before he appeared. However, as soon as he appeared, a ray of light fell from the sky.
The ray of light turned into a white rope and tied him up.
When they were waiting just now, the large snake might have thought that Xiao Lingyu was too tired after a busy night and should be hungry. Therefore, it took advantage of the fact that Xiao Lingyu was not moving to look for food. Otherwise, the rope would not have been able to touch his body.
