The world seemed to have been dark for a long time, or rather, the world seemed to be dark to begin with.
The light was the intruder.
Jiang Wang was confused for a while before he gradually remembered what had happened.
Had his Soul Origin … been cut off?
Or was it waiting to be cut off?
He opened his eyes, and light shone in from the dark world.
Gurgle, gurgle.
From time to time, the sound of bubbling could be heard.
Crack!
It was then broken.
It woke him up from his trance.
Only then did Jiang Wang discover that he was soaking in a boiling magma lake, and the injuries on his body were already mostly healed.
The Sauvignon Blanc was still tightly clenched in his hand.
His right hand had probably been in a fixed position for too long, so it was a bit stiff.
On the other hand, the Wishful Holy Robe still retained the damage from the previous battle.
The Samadhi True Fire in the Five Prefectures Sea naturally glowed, completely blocking the magma's damage.
So he wasn't killed …
His mind had just turned to rejoice.
Jiang Wang's body had instinctively tensed up, and he also jumped up.
So he saw outside this huge magma lake — —
Scattered among the mountains, there were fiery red magma pools one after another.
And in the magma pools, beside the magma pools, crouching or lying down, there were Calamity Beasts all over the mountains …
Black Mountain, Red Lake, a bunch of dogs, uh, a bunch of beasts that looked exactly like dogs.
At first glance, it was hard not to remind Jiang Wang of Maplewood City's Du Dewang's charcoal hot pot.
Once upon a time, he and his brothers sat around a stove, clinking wine bowls, fighting chopsticks for meat, how happy it was!
The only difference was that the cold gazes of those "dogs" made Jiang Wang quickly realize who was the real ingredient in this situation.
So he flew down again and stepped on the magma in a low-key manner, no longer daring to "look down on the dogs".
He had entered Huo Dou's nest.
Until now, Jiang Wang's heart was still at a loss.
He didn't understand why Huo Dou took him back to his hometown, and even arranged for him to live in a magma lake halfway up the mountain. Compared to those ordinary Huo Dou, it was quite a grand place to live.
He looked ahead warily, and the existence that had aroused his instinctive vigilance was slowly walking over from the top of the mountain.
It was a Calamity with a three-pronged tail. Its footsteps were calm and could even be considered graceful.
It looked like a dog, but when it walked slowly, it looked like a cat.
However, his cold eyes were filled with the majesty of a king.
Just like that, it walked through the air and finally stopped. It stood at the edge of the crimson lava lake and stared at Jiang Wang.
This was a sinister and cunning expert.
Jiang Wang reminded himself more than once in his heart.
Just because it looks like a dog doesn't mean it's stupid.
At this moment, its status as a prisoner had already proven its strength without a doubt.
He didn't know why his injuries had healed, nor did he understand why the Calamity Beast King would spare his life. However, judging from how cunning this Calamity Beast King was, there must be some important reason.
In other words, to the Calamity Beast King, he was of use to it.
There was no longer any need to fight.
The outcome of the battle between him and the Calamity Beast King was a result of his overwhelming strength. It was not a matter of losing one or two moves.
Even if it was repeated several times, the outcome would not be changed.
Not to mention that he had moved to the Calamity Beast King's territory.
The right time, the right place, and the right people were all irrelevant.
Jiang Wang sheathed his sword. After quickly recognizing the reality, he relaxed a lot.
He spread out his hands, indicating that he was very friendly and unguarded.
Then, he looked at the Calamity Beast King with a sincere gaze. "Since things have come to this, let's talk."
The Calamity Beast King only looked at him and didn't say anything.
"Don't be like this. We're all reputable existences. Why don't we talk openly? As the saying goes, both sides benefit if we work together, and both sides suffer if we don't … "
Still silence.
"Actually, I've admired your reputation for a long time. There might have been some misunderstandings before … "
Continued silence.
"Uh, may I know why Your Excellency has brought me here …?"
Still silence.
"Your Highness, the King of Calamity, what orders do you have? I'm happy to serve you! "
…
After talking to himself for half a day, Jiang Wang finally realized that although the other party had intelligence that was not inferior to humans, it did not know how to speak human language.
There was nothing strange about this. Speaking of which, the languages of the various countries of the human race had gradually evolved over a long period of time.
The languages of the various places today were very different from hundreds or thousands of years ago.
Many of these strange beasts in the Mountain Sea Realm had already disappeared from the world for several eras.
It was normal for them not to know how to speak human language.
Not to mention the languages that had been annihilated over a long period of time, how many people were still proficient in the language of the former Eastern Region?
As for the cultivators who had entered the Mountain Sea Realm in the past …
In the entire vast Mountain Sea Realm, how many places could these people travel?
Some strange beasts might not be able to meet people, and even if they did, they might not be willing to learn human language.
Unfortunately, he did not know the Dao language, nor could he write the word Dao.
Otherwise, a single pronunciation and a single word could accurately convey a complex meaning, and he would not be restricted to communicating with anyone.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment.
He patted his chest with his hand and said, "Me!"
Then, he pointed at the Calamity Beast King and said, "You!"
Then, he used his left hand to hold his right hand, shook it with all his strength, and shouted, "Friend!"
He repeated again, "You and I can be friends, understand?"
With such detailed body language, such rich expressions, and simple and powerful words, the Calamity Beast King roughly understood …
Because it spat to the side.
Jiang Wang was speechless.
A Calamity Beast King and a Da Qi Tianjiao stared at each other for a moment. After staring for a long time, the Calamity Beast King tilted its head. It was probably also troubled about how to communicate with Jiang Wang.
In short, the atmosphere at the moment was very peaceful (except that the Calamity Beast King did not like to make friends).
At least, both sides were seeking to communicate instead of fighting.
After thinking for a while, the Calamity Beast King's eyes lit up. It had probably finally come up with a smart idea. It stretched out its right front claw and scooped up a ball of burning magma from the magma lake. Then, it flew into the air and pounced toward Jiang Wang.
Although it was an attack, its strength was too weak.
Could it be … that it was playing a game?
A way to greet each other between calamities?
This fellow was very duplicitous!
And it said that it did not want to make friends!
Looking at the Calamity Beast King's eyes that lit up with joy, Jiang Wang already understood in his heart. He casually stopped the ball of magma and even made it spin in the air. Then, he easily disintegrated it into a beautiful fiery red magma rain that floated down.
Then, he reached out and grabbed a ball of magma. He looked at the Calamity Beast King encouragingly and said, "You can do it too!"
Then, with a bang, the ball of magma smashed into the Calamity Beast King's face.
Jiang Wang was speechless.
Why didn't this fellow dodge?
What was it playing at this time?
Jiang Wang's smile stiffened.
The Calamity Beast King's dog face was also completely expressionless. Its eyes were also emotionless. Only when the fiery red, sticky magma slowly slid down its face did it seem a little lively.
It meant that this was a living Calamity Beast King, a powerhouse that was extremely powerful even in the Mountain Sea Realm.
The atmosphere seemed to have become heavy …
The awkward silence lasted for a long time.
The Calamity Beast King finally convinced itself again. It lowered its head and took another mouthful of magma.
Then, it opened its mouth and spat at Jiang Wang.
The ball of magma still did not have any force. It jumped in the air and was easily intercepted by Jiang Wang.
Again?
Jiang Wang only felt that the Calamity Beast King's life was too boring. It was not happy, but it still wanted to continue playing. It was obvious how boring its life was.
He did not want to participate in this boring game, but he had to bow under the eaves.
In the martial world, one could not do as one wished.
The situation was stronger than the person.
A real man knew when to yield and when to stand tall …
He could only grab another ball of magma and throw it back.
This time, his movements were even gentler, afraid that the Calamity Beast King would catch it with its face again.
Roar!
The ball of magma that was slowly flying over was directly scattered in front of Jiang Wang. The Calamity Beast King seemed to have lost its patience. It directly jumped into the magma lake and pounced at Jiang Wang.
Its aura was very fierce.
Jiang Wang was also angry.
I swallowed my anger and played games with you, but you still throw a tantrum.
Was the Calamity Beast King very impressive?
He had never been a person who waited for death. He had already drawn his sword.
Although he had been easily crushed once and understood the huge gap in strength, he still tried his best to respond.
Heavenly Palace Physique, Sword Immortal, Human Dao Sword Style, Buzhou Wind …
This battle was more natural than the previous one. Jiang Wang felt that he had performed better.
But the Calamity Beast King did not give in to Jiang Wang's various killing moves. It still easily resolved them with a claw, a bite, and a suction. There were several times when its sharp teeth almost bit through Jiang Wang's throat.
Fists and feet, sword techniques, Daoist techniques, Mystical Abilities. Jiang Wang exhausted all his fighting abilities, fighting to the death with the Calamity Beast King.
It was not until the Samadhi True Fire appeared that it suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then, it turned around, ignoring Jiang Wang's following attacks as if they were nothing, and swaggered away.
Jiang Wang, who had already been beaten black and blue, was stunned for a long time before he finally understood the intentions of this vicious dog.
The Calamity Beast King had spared his life purely because his Samadhi True Fire tasted good. It wanted to eat a few mouthfuls of it every day … It was treating him like an "imperial chef"!
The first demonstration of the two balls of lava was clearly an imitation of the Samadhi True Fire, indicating that he should summon it for consumption.
After he 'failed to understand', he decided to make a move ….
How preposterous!
At this moment, Jiang Wang looked at this huge lava lake. It was simply a large bowl of thick soup, and he, Jiang Wang, was the ingredient in the bowl. The meat in the soup.
And the Calamity Beasts all over the mountain seemed to be eyeing him covetously, drooling with desire. But only the king of the Calamity Beasts could enjoy such a precious "dinner" …
Although Jiang Wang was surrounded by lava, he knew that the embarrassment on his face was not due to the heat of the lava.
He really wanted to step forward with his sword and cut down this Calamity Beast King. He really wanted to stew all these Calamities in a pot — if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat them.
As he looked around, he could roughly understand why the Calamity Beast King had imprisoned him here without placing any restrictions on him.
Looking around, all the way to the end of his line of sight was also a mountain range spewing lava.
Wherever he went, there were Calamities. Where could he run, and how far could he run?
Just around this lava lake, there were no less than a thousand Calamities staring at him. Want to run? How could there be a chance?
Strength …
In the end, it was still strength.
If the sword was a bit slower, the enemy would live and he would die.
If the strength was a bit weaker, he would be bullied!
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth for eight or nine breaths of time, then silently sat down and began to adjust his breath.
Being imprisoned by the Calamity Beast King, he was reduced to a chef, and the Fire of Divine Ability was reduced to an ingredient …
Of course, it was humiliating to talk about it.
But what about after the humiliation?
There was no point in wallowing in self-pity, and there was no need to blame the heavens and others.
Cursing and swearing couldn't hurt people, unless you were Yin Guan.
If you couldn't win, if you couldn't escape, then cultivate.
You had to spend your time on the most meaningful things.
They were both under God's Descent, but why could someone escape unscathed from the enraged Kui Cow, and why was he captured by the Calamity Beast King like a cat playing with a mouse?
Of course, the Calamity Beast King was even more cunning, and it even brought an army …
But even if there were ten thousand reasons, Jiang Wang wasn't willing to shirk away.
In the end, he wasn't strong enough.
Since his life wasn't in danger now, then he should improve himself.
He couldn't escape from the Outer Tower in the First Realm, but what about the Second Realm?
A vague Dao path couldn't be used, but what about after it became clear?
His current swordsmanship wasn't enough, but what about after he reached the peak of this realm?
The Samadhi True Fire was easily swallowed, but what if he could develop it to the limit of this realm?
There were too many areas where he needed to improve.
It could be said that when he reached the Outer Tower, his lack of foundation was clearly revealed.
In the Inner Mansion Realm, he was already number one in history, but when he reached the Outer Tower, when he needed to improve in all aspects, this realm that shouldn't have been widened, exposed his shortcomings.
For those disciples of famous sects, the path of every realm had already been paved, and they only needed to advance step by step.
Solitary cultivators like Yin Guan, on the other hand, had already grasped their Dao path.
He had always been clear about how he wanted to walk, and also vaguely knew where his Dao path was, but he still didn't have a clearer, more concrete outline.
This was precisely something that couldn't be rushed.
He could only move forward resolutely, and didn't know how long he had to walk.
Indeed, he was definitely a top expert in the Outer Tower now, and if he really fought to the death, he could compete for the strongest. But in all aspects, there was still a gap between him and the top Outer Tower.
Even if Bu Zhou Feng cultivated to the limit of this realm, he still couldn't help him escape.
The development of the Samadhi True Fire seemed to be separated by a layer, and couldn't directly reach the truth, which was why Bu Zhou Feng surpassed him.
The wrong path couldn't be taken lightly.
The Sword Immortal's strength was in integration, and completely depended on the strength of other forces.
Until now, he still didn't understand the Red Heart Theurgy.
In terms of spells, he had the Dragon Tiger and Flame Flower Burning City, these two supreme Dao techniques, and didn't lose to others.
In terms of swordsmanship, he was still behind Ning Shuangrong.
In terms of exploration of the path of Dao, he definitely couldn't compare to Dou Zhao …
A low roar suddenly sounded.
Jiang Wang, who was focused on cultivation, turned his head to look.
He saw a strong Huo Dou suddenly rush to the side of the magma lake, throw away the thing in its mouth, and leave without looking back.
It looked very arrogant.
The thing flying in the air was a fiery red lotus that looked like a jade carving.
It spun around, beautiful and exquisite.
Jiang Wang caught it in confusion and immediately felt the abundant and pure power in this fire lotus. With just a light sniff, the fire essence in his body became lively.
He couldn't help but fall silent.
How could he not understand?
This was clearly the Huo Dou's "feeding" to him, afraid that his Samadhi True Fire wouldn't be able to supply it …
Thinking of his generation, Jiang Qingyang of Tianjiao.
He had fought tens of thousands of miles alone, and who had he been afraid of in the world?
Now, he was being raised by a group of strange beasts!
How humiliating was this?
Lord Jiang Jue was filled with sorrow for a moment. As he thought about how hateful these evil beasts were, he thought that it would be a waste not to eat them. He fiercely bit a petal of the fire lotus. Feeling the fire essence surging in his body in an instant, he felt a little better.
Then, he took another bite.
Even the fiery red divine ability seed became brighter and brighter.
Another bite.
These beasts were really despicable.
He ate it clean in a few bites.
