The Divine Valley was a place that all cultivators in the Yan Country would tremble in fear upon hearing its name. In the Yan Country, the Divine Valley might have the word 'Divine' in its name, but in everyone's eyes, the Divine Valley was a place of death, and it represented death.
Normally, no one would enter the Divine Valley. Of course, only the idiots or crazy cultivators would enter the Divine Valley. Of course, they wouldn't be able to come out.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound rang out. In a forest in the Divine Valley, the Sky Cuan Monkey that was washing its head fell to the ground. It was dead, and its body was full of holes. If one were to throw away the corpse, they would definitely see that the bones of the Sky Cuan Monkey were all broken. There wasn't a single place that was intact.
"Master, that's enough. This is the twentieth demonic beast for today. Spare me. Look, I haven't even eaten yet. You can't torture me like this." At this time, Liu Changtian looked at Lin Ray who was sitting under a tree and gnawing on a demonic beast's leg. His eyes were filled with resentment.
"Tired?"
Lin Ray who was eating happily heard Liu Changtian's complaint. Lin Ray stopped eating and turned to look at the dying Sky Cuan Monkey on the ground. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Tell me about the standards I set for you."
"Uh …" Hearing this, Liu Changtian was startled. Then, he recovered and said, "To kill a demonic beast, you need to use internal strength. You are only allowed to shatter the demonic beast's bones. You cannot injure its body. This is … standard."
At the end, Liu Changtian turned to look at the Sky Cuan Monkey that he killed. Yes, all the bones in its body were shattered, but the surface of its body was full of holes. It was a miserable sight.
And this was the proof that he didn't meet the standard. Compared to this, Liu Changtian had the urge to cry.
Yes, in the past month, his cultivation has improved, but the hidden strength you mentioned is a very profound method. You have only demonstrated it twice and have not used it even once. Although you know me, but … with my insignificant cultivation, aren't you being too …?
"Hmph, good-for-nothing." Without waiting for Liu Changtian to finish his words, Lin Ray snorted coldly, his face turning gloomy. "If you want to be above others, if you want to be respected by others, and if you want to control your own life, you have to do what others can't."
"Back then, it only took me three days to cultivate to the level of internal strength. But you …"
"It's been a month, right? Look at you. Although your cultivation has improved, you're still at the same level as before. You haven't improved at all. If this were to spread out, where would I put my old face?"
"Tell me …!"
"I … I …"
The words that he had prepared long ago couldn't come out of his mouth. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that his master was too talkative. He was so talkative that he felt a little hopeless.
Thinking back to his previous life, compared to now, it was like heaven. There were people serving him every day. Other than cultivating, he was still cultivating. But now?
Not only did he have to take care of Lin Ray, but he also had to practice the Hidden Force every day. Of course, more importantly, he was despised, which deeply hurt his self-esteem.
"What? Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Seeing that Liu Changtian was speechless, Lin Ray smiled and continued, "So, now turn around and walk three hundred meters forward. There is a Cuan Tianhou waiting for you there."
"Remember, the essentials of the Hidden Force. I'll give you one more day. If you can't cultivate the Hidden Force, I'll tie you up and let you know what it means to cry for help but to beg for mercy."
"I remember that the Cuan Tianhou likes to eat brains. I've always heard about it. If I can see it with my own eyes, it's really …"
Liu Changtian: "…"
Lin Ray's words were like a sharp sword that stabbed into Liu Changtian's heart. A chill ran down his spine, and his back was soaked in cold sweat.
He had experienced Lin Ray's terror. If he had to choose, he would rather fight the Cuan Tianhou than be punished by Lin Ray. He couldn't bear the consequences.
Looking at the skeleton next to him, Lin Ray angrily shouted at Liu Changtian, "Why aren't you going? Can't you see that I don't have anything to eat?"
"I …"
"I'll go now."
Sometimes, he really suspected that Lin Ray didn't make him fight the Cuan Tianhou to practice the Hidden Force, but to eat.
The Cuan Tianhou was famous in the Book of Magical Beasts in Tianming. Not only was its cultivation strong, but more importantly, its meat was famous in Tianming for being delicious.
The Cuan Tianhou grew up drinking monkey wine, so its body contained a lot of spirit energy.
However, although the Cuan Tianhou's meat was good, no one dared to challenge them. It was because the Cuan Tianhou was a social animal, and they were very united.
As the saying goes, when one person is in trouble, there will be help from all sides. This was the Cuan Tianhou's specialty, and what humans really lacked.
At this moment, Lin Ray didn't know that Lin Tian was bringing the two girls from the Divine Realm to Tianming.
At this moment, Lin Ray was focused on his food, especially the Cuan Tianhou. One must know that Lin Ray liked it very much.
Especially after eating it for the first time a month ago, he was infatuated with this delicacy.
Just as Liu Changtian thought, the reason why Lin Ray kept killing the Cuan Tianhou for the past month was not for anything else. Of course, it was also to let Liu Changtian practice the Hidden Force.
These two were average, but Lin Ray was more inclined towards Liu Changtian's practice.
After Liu Changtian left, Lin Ray stretched out his hand, and a suction force appeared. Suddenly, the Cuan Tianhou that was killed by Liu Changtian appeared in front of Lin Ray.
"Hehe, let's go, there's good food." Looking at the enormous corpse of the Skycracker Monkey in front of him, Linley didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his hand, and a small knife appeared in his hand. One small knife after another appeared, and the corpse of the Skycracker Monkey which had been killed by Liu Changtian was instantly dissected by Linley.
Using a very skillful method, he threw away some of the inedible things. Then, he used a big iron stick to roast the Cuan Tianhou.
His movements were very smooth.
"Why is this kid so stupid? It's been a month, but he still hasn't succeeded."
Lin Ray rolled his eyes as he watched Liu Changtian fight with the demonic beasts. "Could it be that this kid is not suitable for this path?"
While roasting the meat, he checked on Liu Changtian's situation. However, seeing how stubborn he was, he didn't say anything.
"If it's really as I think, then it seems that I have to change my path. I can't let him keep busy. If this goes on, not only will it delay him, but it will also delay my time."
Lin Ray fell into deep thought. His mind was filled with thoughts of paving the way for Liu Changtian in the future.
Lin family. Five days ago, the Lin family welcomed a group of uninvited guests. It was none other than the Huangfu family.
However, the Lin family was heavily guarded during this period of time. The Lin family still couldn't let the Huangfu family in.
Especially this time, they were definitely here for the Huangfu Old Master. The Lin family couldn't let the Huangfu family into the Lin family.
If they were to know that something had happened to Old Master Huangfu, the entire Yan Country would be thrown into turmoil. It must be known that if something happened to a family's Patriarch, just the internal strife within the family would implicate a wide range of people. Just for the Zhang Family's Patriarch alone, the entire Huangfu Family would be thrown into chaos.
Of course, the Lin family naturally wouldn't be afraid if the Huangfu Country was in chaos. However, if the neighboring country took advantage of this, then the three sons of the Lin family would die with everlasting regret.
Five days. Five days. Five days. The Huangfu Family stood in front of the Lin family's door and didn't leave. It was for no other reason than to get information about the Huangfu Old Master.
"Lin family, you've gone too far. My grandfather came to the Lin family as a guest and hasn't returned for more than a month. What are you trying to do? Are you threatening the Huangfu Family? "
Huangfu Jing spoke. Five days had already worn down her patience. As a proud daughter of the heavens, she had never suffered such grievances.
"Lin family, are you trying to start a war between the families? You have to know that if you do this, the entire city will become hell. When that time comes, the Lin family won't be able to escape unscathed."
After Huangfu Jing spoke, the rest of the Huangfu family also spoke. They couldn't wait to know what happened to the Old Master.
Some of the collateral families also received news of the Old Master's death. Because of this, they could become the masters of the Huangfu Family.
In the Lin family, Master Lin sat in the main hall. Hearing the commotion outside the door, his brows were tightly knitted together and his expression was gloomy. He was clearly worried about the Huangfu Family.
Beside him, Huo Yun's expression was even worse. Especially when she heard the Huangfu Family's clamor. "Father, are we just going to let the Huangfu Family go on like this?"
"That's right, Father. We can't go on like this."
"Sigh!" Master Lin sighed. His expression was bitter. "How could I not know? But … that old man is already dead. If the Huangfu Family finds out, it will definitely lead to a fight for the throne."
If that was the case, the neighboring countries would seize this opportunity to invade the Yan Country. If that was the case, then Boss and the others' sacrifice would be in vain.
"This …"
Fire Cloud would rather go to the battlefield and kill the enemy than suffer like this, especially when he heard the endless clamoring at the door.
"Sigh, there's no other way. Just bear with it. I don't believe that they can continue like this." As he spoke, Master Lin stood up and walked towards the inner hall.
He left behind Huo Yun and the Lin family's Si.
Seeing the Old Master leave, the two of them looked at each other helplessly.
"Alright, Sister-in-law. Since Father has said so, then let's bear with it. After all, after this incident, the Lin family's reputation will be greatly improved. Perhaps we can return to our former glory."
"This … alright!"
It seemed that because of this incident, Huo Yun was tired. She stretched and then nodded to Si. "I'll go in first."
With that, Huo Yun left. Only the Lin family's Si was left in the hall. "Damn it. Don't push me too far. Two days. If you don't leave in two days, I don't mind using some extreme methods."
It seemed that the Lin family's Si was completely anxious. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
Far away in the Divine Valley, Lin Ray didn't know that the Huangfu Family had already arrived at the Lin family's residence and that a war of words had broken out.
If Lin Ray was here, he would've killed them. Kill one to warn the others. If killing one wasn't enough, then he would kill two. If that still wasn't enough, then he would kill all of them.
In Liu Changtian's opinion, one day wasn't enough at all. Especially when it came to cultivating internal strength. To him, it was simply a pipe dream. It wasn't realistic at all.
One day passed quickly. In the end, Liu Changtian didn't achieve what Lin Ray wanted.
"It seems that I have to change your cultivation path. Internal strength might not be suitable for you."
"No … Master, you …" Liu Changtian was dumbfounded. He didn't think that Lin Ray would want to change his cultivation path. Wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Thinking of the hard work he put in over the past month, he was unwilling. He was unwilling.
As someone who had been reborn, Lin Ray understood Liu Changtian's thoughts. "Ai, I know you're unwilling. But … you haven't succeeded in cultivating internal strength for over a month. Do you think it's necessary to waste time on this?"
Hearing this, Liu Changtian was silent. He understood Lin Ray's meaning, but … he was still unwilling. As a former City Lord, he had his own dignity.
At the same time, he wanted to be responsible for his own self-esteem. He was unwilling. He wouldn't admit defeat.
After thinking for a while, his originally hesitant eyes became firm. "Master, I still want to learn internal strength. I don't want to change my cultivation path."
"You …"
Lin Ray didn't expect Liu Changtian to be so stubborn. But … this was precisely what Lin Ray appreciated.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I want to cultivate internal strength."
"Are you sure?" Lin Ray was confirmed again.
"Yes."
"Well, good. In that case, you must devote yourself to cultivation. You can't slack off. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, master."
"Good. I will devote myself to guiding you so that you can learn internal strength in the shortest time possible. However, you must remember that this is your last chance. If you can't learn internal strength this time, I will have no choice but to change your cultivation path."
"Yes, I understand, master." Liu Changtian had his wish fulfilled. He smiled.
"Mn, go pack up. We'll go to the depths of the Divine Valley. We'll train you as we go."
After saying that, he turned around and walked toward the depths of the Divine Valley. As for Liu Changtian, he brought along the spiritual herbs and some other miscellaneous things he collected along the way before chasing after Lin Ray.
"Hidden power, sigh … Little Tian, do you know that this hidden power is only the beginning of cultivation? It can't even be considered as cultivation. If you can't even pass this stage, then your Fire Dragon Vein can be considered to be crippled!"
Thinking about Liu Changtian's Fire Dragon Vein, Lin Ray wanted to immediately stimulate it. If that was the case, Lin Ray believed that Liu Changtian would be able to cultivate internal strength in a day or even less.
Moreover, his strength would increase greatly. He might even be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm or even higher.
However, it was a pity that he was like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river. He couldn't even protect himself. In this era where spiritual energy was scarce, he didn't even know how to recover his cultivation. How could he stimulate Liu Changtian's bloodline?
