Allowing the tiger to return to the mountain would lead to endless troubles. This was a principle that even ordinary people understood, so Lin Xuan naturally did.
He was as fast as lightning, traveling hundreds of kilometers in an instant. In just 15 minutes, he had traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
As he traveled, he used the Sword of Will to search for Ning Fengqiu's location so that he would not be able to escape.
During this time, Ning Fengqiu changed his direction many times. Sometimes, he wanted to avoid dangerous places. Sometimes, he wanted to avoid the territories of powerful demons. Sometimes, he did it on purpose.
Gradually, Ning Fengqiu ran for another 15 minutes before slowing down.
Lin Xuan also caught up. He activated the Luck Observation Technique and could already see the martial fate of Ning Fengqiu's Nine Zigzag Wind Cave 500 kilometers away.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was not sure if Ning Fengqiu had been beaten back to his original form, so he did not dare to chase too close. He could only follow at a distance. Half a day later, Ning Fengqiu completely stopped and landed in a large valley surrounded by clouds.
Lin Xuan arrived 100 kilometers away from Ning Fengqiu. In order to avoid being defeated, he caught a Rank One Thunder Eagle and controlled it with the Imperial Spirit Seal.
Then, he commanded the Thunder Eagle to fly to the valley where Ning Fengqiu was hiding to find out more about him.
The Thunder Eagle was extremely fast. After a few flashes, it flew 100 kilometers and dived into the valley. Its sharp eagle eyes quickly searched for any movement in the valley.
At the same time, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground and formed seals with his hands, using his mind to replace the Thunderhawk's line of sight. It was as if he was there himself, and he didn't miss the slightest movement in the gorge.
This valley was huge and filled with many towering ancient trees. Plus, it was covered by clouds and fog, so it was very dark inside.
Gradually, Lin Xuan found something strange. He found three Ape Demons that had been killed in the valley. Not far from the Ape Demons' bodies, there was a dark cave entrance.
There was a piece of cloth hanging on a withered tree at the entrance of the cave. It was the same color as Ning Fengqiu's robe.
"Found it!"
Lin Xuan was delighted. Without hesitation, he urged the Thunder Eagle into the cave.
The cave wasn't very big, only less than a hundred meters in radius. Ning Fengqiu wasn't inside.
However, Lin Xuan was not disappointed, because in the deepest corner of the cave, he found a bronze octagonal mirror the size of a human head, flickering with a faint green light.
Without a doubt, this bronze mirror was the Universal Mirror.
At this moment, endless Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth surged over, entering the Heaven and Earth Mirror bit by bit.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
It was obvious that Ning Fengqiu had already entered the Universal Mirror. However, this made it difficult for him to pry into Ning Fengqiu's true state, which was a headache for him.
However, this was not a problem for him.
When he had the thought of attacking, he used the Luck Observation Technique to check his martial arts fate.
He realized that his martial arts fate was a normal blue color. There was no bad luck or good luck.
This meant that even if he made a move, he would not be in any danger, but he would not be able to gain any benefits for the time being.
"Ha! No danger is the greatest benefit! I can't let Ning Fengqiu have an easy time! "
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile. With a thought, he burrowed into the ground again. In just a breath's time, he appeared in the cave.
Soon after, he put the Universal Mirror into the space of his Bluestone Ring at the speed of lightning.
At the same time, he moved King Cobra and Molly out of the Green Stone Ring, and instantly emptied the Yuan Qi in the space.
There was not much Yuan Qi in the space of the Green Stone Ring. Under Lin Xuan's care, the limited Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was emptied, turning the space into a wasteland.
"Meow, meow!"
"Roar!"
Molly jumped onto Lin Xuan's shoulder and meowed twice in confusion. Then, it jumped onto the ground and scurried out of the cave, running around happily in the canyon.
King Cobra was about the same. These two fellows had been bored out of their minds in the space of the Green Stone Ring for the past few days. Now that they were outside, they were very excited. They happily chased all kinds of monsters in the canyon, causing chaos everywhere.
Lin Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to these two boring fellows. He looked at the two Secret Space Rings on his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled into a playful sneer.
At this moment, the only two Secret Space Rings on him had become cages. The Coiling Dragon Ring was used to imprison the Sacred Lord of the Spot Tribe and Xue Yanqing, and the Green Stone Ring was used to imprison Ning Fengqiu. For the time being, he did not have any extra Secret Space Rings to use.
However, it did not matter. In any case, he did not rely too much on Secret Space Rings.
Ning Fengqiu was trapped in the Green Stone Ring. If he did not have any heaven-defying methods, he would not be able to make a comeback in this lifetime. Lin Xuan planned to take some time out in the future to deal with him.
Next, Lin Xuan formed hand seals and set up a layer of Greater Light Restriction outside the cave. Then, he sat down cross-legged and took out a pile of Demon Cores of Hunting Rats. Activating the Heart of the Stone Demon, he began to focus on refining them.
As the dao marks in the Hunting Rat's demon cores were extracted one by one, the Stone Devil's Heart also slowly improved.
At the same time, in the space of the Green Stone Ring, the Universal Mirror flashed and Ning Fengqiu's figure appeared.
At this moment, Ning Fengqiu no longer had the powerful aura of the Perfect Divine Tier. In fact, he didn't even have the aura of the Initial Divine Tier. He was like a powerless mortal. His face was pale and bloodless, and his body was stained with blood. His eyes were dim and lifeless, and there was a strand of silver in his hair. He seemed to have aged several decades.
He looked at his surroundings, and his expression changed. It was as ugly as it could get.
"Lin Xuan! You despicable person! Do you think a mere spatial artifact can trap this Young Master? "
"Humph! I, Ning Fengqiu, will definitely make you pay for what you did today! You will pay an unbearable price! Let's wait and see! "
Ning Fengqiu roared at the sky and returned to the space inside the Universal Mirror in a flash.
Hearing Ning Fengqiu's roar, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and smiled disdainfully. He then focused on refining the demon cores again.
This time, he collected a total of 46 demon cores, all of which were fourth-order Hunting Rats' demon cores.
It took four hours to refine one demon core. When he finished refining all the demon cores, it took him a full eight days.
After refining the dao marks in these demon cores, Lin Xuan clearly felt that the Stone Devil's Heart had improved a lot again. Whether it was the Underground Walking Technique or the speed of gathering the earth's power, both had increased by more than 30%.
However, the Stone Devil's Heart had not undergone any fundamental changes. This result was somewhat unsatisfactory.
"It seems that it's not easy to promote the evolution of the Stone Devil's Heart."
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and sighed softly.
Next, he had to make a choice between continuing to collect demon cores to upgrade the Stone Devil's Heart and completing the Monster Slaying mission to obtain the Human Emperor's Sword Seal.
The evolution of the Stone Devil's Heart would definitely increase his strength by a level. However, this would probably take a long time. It could take three to five months or even three to five years. Moreover, there was a huge risk involved. This would probably affect his chances of obtaining the Human Emperor's Sword Seal.
After thinking about it, Lin Xuan could only choose to give up on collecting demon cores. After all, he did not have that much time to waste.
He walked out of the cave and summoned Ah Yu and King Cobra.
It had only been a few days, but these two fellows had actually put on weight. It seemed that they were doing well in this canyon.
"Roar!"
King Cobra roared at Lin Xuan and transmitted an energy wave at the same time. "Master, we found a demon suitable for the Monster Slaying mission."
"What demon?" Lin Xuan was stunned.
King Cobra said, "It's a fourth-order peak stone worm. That guy grew out of a stone and is the only one within a thousand miles."
"Oh? Bring me to see it! "
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan flipped over and rode on King Cobra's back. Ah Yu also jumped onto Lin Xuan's shoulder. King Cobra carried the man and cat and quickly rushed into the depths of the canyon.
This canyon occupied an extremely large area. The further in they went, the wider it became. The terrain was flat and forests were everywhere.
However, after traveling for three hundred miles, the ground suddenly opened up. There was no longer any vegetation in front of them. It was completely empty and boundless. There was only a hundred-meter-tall stone mountain standing alone on the ground. The entire mountain was a single piece of stone, and it was one whole entity.
There were countless caves on the mountain, all of them more than ten meters in diameter. Each cave was deep and dark, its depth unknown.
King Cobra stopped in the distance. There was a hint of fear in his eyes as he said, "Master, that stone worm is inside. It has the magical power of petrification. Everything that comes into contact with it will be petrified."
Lin Xuan focused his gaze and looked carefully. It wasn't that there was no vegetation around the stone mountain. Instead, all of the vegetation had turned into stone. Most of them fell to the ground and turned into crushed stones.
Lin Xuan wasn't afraid of a peak-level Fourth Level Demonic Beast.
His body shook and he flew up from King Cobra's back into the sky. He flew to the top of the stone mountain. Channeling his strength, he clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it down!
There was a loud boom!
An endless amount of power poured out and bombarded the stone mountain!
Chaotic Star Fist!
Heaven and earth darkened. Starlight shone in the sky as a violent force enveloped the stone mountain.
The vast and mighty force crazily squeezed the stone mountain. In the blink of an eye, the stone mountain was crushed and turned into large pieces of crushed stone. Then, it continued to be ground into pieces by the storm of power. In the end, it turned into stone powder that filled the sky.
In the dust that filled the sky, a giant worm that was more than thirty meters long struggled and roared with all its might. However, it gradually became a bloody mess. In the end, it was crushed and its flesh turned into paste. Its body died and its soul scattered.
After a while, when all the dust settled, the stone mountain from before had completely disappeared. Only a layer of stone powder that was three meters thick was left, lying flat on the ground.
The skin of a giant stone worm was half-buried in the dust.
At this moment, Lin Xuan received a vague notification in his mind that he had already exterminated two demon clans.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel happy. He didn't expect King Cobra to be so useful. He actually helped him find a demon clan for a mission.
"Well done, kid!"
Lin Xuan patted King Cobra's big head approvingly. Then, he took out a spirit pill and threw it into King Cobra's mouth.
"Awoo!"
King Cobra cried out excitedly and hurriedly swallowed the spirit pill.
At this moment, Ah Yu wasn't willing to fall behind. He jumped up and down on Lin Xuan's shoulder and meowed non-stop. He was telling Lin Xuan that he had contributed to the discovery of the stone worm.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. He also took out a high-grade spirit pill and threw it to Ah Yu. Finally, the little guy calmed down.
"I wonder if Shen Yukun and the others have gained anything during this period."
