Xiongshan sat in front of the treasure tree, his brows furrowed, considering whether or not to take the treasure tree away from this place.

It was accompanied by a golden light.

Qin Luo appeared in the valley.

"The sunshine outside is still more comfortable."

"gentlemen."

Xiong Shan looked terrified.

Qin Luo took out a piece of Hongmeng Leaf.

"This is the Primordial Leaf I obtained in the Purple Mansion Grotto Heaven; it should be equivalent to those two spiritual fruits."

Xiongshan took the Primordial Leaf that emitted a purple light. He knew that the Primordial Leaf was priceless, and he trembled with excitement.

Inside the jade pendant, the purple-haired fairy narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. This Primordial Leaf was more precious than the treasure tree that the big black bear possessed, yet Qin Luo gave such a valuable item to the big black bear.

Xiong Shan had thought Qin Luo would covet this precious tree, but now he realized he had been overthinking it. He knelt down and kowtowed, causing the valley to shake. "Sir, if you ever need anything in the future, I, Old Xiong, am willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"You are the overlord of the mountains, so never kill innocent people indiscriminately again!" Qin Luo reminded him.

Xiong Shan was obsequious in front of Qin Luo, but it had a bad temper, and ordinary creatures would be in grave danger if they approached the valley. "I, Old Xiong, will remember your teachings, sir."

Qin Luo left the valley, with Xiong Shan following him all the way.

"Just leave it here."

Qin Luo waved his hand.

Xiong Shan bowed and said, "Please take care, sir!"

Qin Luo walked towards the peach grove in the mountains.

A dark shadow emerged from the stream. The little otter rubbed its eyes, staring at Qin Luo's back, feeling incredulous that he had actually managed to leave the valley alive!

When passing by the peach orchard, Qin Luo picked a lot of peaches, intending to take them back for his junior sister to eat.

evening.

Qin Luo arrived at Shuiyue Village.

The village had long been abandoned. Near the village was a great mountain, a place of outstanding natural beauty. Qin Luo came to the top of the mountain, where he could overlook the surrounding mountains and see Shuanghe Village in the distance.

Qin Luo looked into the distance and saw Zi Yue busy cutting pig feed and digging wild vegetables in the mountains.

"That's my junior sister."

Qin Luo pointed into the distance.

His eyes were filled with a smile.

The purple-haired fairy noticed the little girl in the distance and chuckled, "When I was little, I also liked to dig for wild vegetables in the mountains. Back then, we didn't have enough to eat or wear, but we didn't have any worries."

Qin Luo nodded in agreement. He sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, preparing to spend the night there. The sun set and the moon rose, the stars shone brightly, and the cicadas' chirping grew increasingly mournful as autumn approached.

night.

Qin Luo was bathed in starlight.

The bright moonlight fell upon him.

Qin Luo's consciousness appeared in the inner realm, where snowflakes were falling. Cultivating spells in the inner realm would be twice as effective.

Inside the inner realm, there was a mysterious substance that nourished Qin Luo's soul. He sat cross-legged in the snowfield to cultivate, and his essence, energy, and spirit grew stronger and stronger. Three mysterious flowers appeared above his head: one was pure white and holy, one was golden and dazzling, and one was gray and dull.

Inside the jade pendant, the purple-haired fairy sensed a special fluctuation. She discovered the afterimage of three flowers between Qin Luo's brows. "Three flowers gathered at the top of the head, such strong spirit and energy."

"Throughout history, there have been very few experts who have achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. I never expected that this little guy could reach the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top at such a young age. Is he a born saint?"

The purple-haired fairy had a smile on her lips.

Following his journey might not be boring.

...

early morning.

The first rays of sunlight fell upon Qin Luo, radiating a divine aura. A tall, slender figure stood atop the mountain, dressed in a long purple dress, exuding nobility and elegance.

"This place has changed so much!"

The purple-haired fairy sighed softly. She turned to look at Qin Luo and noticed that his condition was unusual. "Overnight, his aura has increased by several levels. Could it be that he is in the inner realm?"

interior.

The sun was blazing, and waves of heat were rolling in.

Qin Luo left the snowfield and went to the desert, where the red sand beneath his feet felt like a giant furnace.

One night outside is equivalent to half a year inside. Qin Luo originally wanted to wait for Jiang Qingxue in the snowfield, but she did not appear for a long time and may never come back.

Qin Luo wanted to explore other parts of the inner realm. After half a year of arduous travel, covering tens of thousands of miles, he had not encountered any cultivators or any significant opportunities along the way.

Not far away, blood splattered into the sky.

A broken sword was stuck diagonally in the crimson sand. Nearby stood a golden bone monster hundreds of feet tall. The bone monster was comparable to a mountain. Even in death, it stood upright. The surrounding space was distorted and deformed, as if time had stopped flowing.

"Such a powerful aura."

Qin Luo stared at the distant corpses, a slight look of surprise on his face. "Could they be fallen gods?"

The towering creature exuded a powerful aura, making Xiong Shan seem like an ant in comparison. Qin Luo was shocked but not afraid, after all, it was a dead creature.

As Qin Luo passed the Golden Bone Demon, he suddenly stopped, sensing a fluctuation in his divine soul.

Qin Luo raised his head, his eyes gleaming with golden light, and there were golden lines between his bony brows.

The golden patterns were very mysterious. Qin Luo discovered a faint fluctuation of divine soul within the patterns, suggesting that the gods before him might not have completely perished.

Click click.

The golden bone beast suddenly trembled.

The golden pattern suddenly lit up.

Qin Luo sensed a powerful aura reviving. A tall creature clad in golden armor emerged from the golden patterns, his long golden hair flowing freely, resembling an unparalleled god-king.

A tall creature appeared before Qin Luo.

Qin Luo smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "This junior happened to be passing by. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you, senior!"

The tall creature shook its head and laughed, "You brought me hope, I should thank you."

"What hope?"

Qin Luo looked puzzled.

The tall creature smiled and explained, "I'm trapped here, and you can help me get out."
