Chen Yang's body was wrapped in a layer of faint golden light, appearing sacred and majestic.

"call……"

Chen Yang exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes!

"It's done!"

He felt the power filling his body and an excited smile appeared on his face.

After this baptism, his meridians became tougher and his true energy became purer!

Although his own realm did not make any progress due to the unique limitations of the Great Dao Sutra.

However, it is no exaggeration to say that with Chen Yang's current actual combat power, even though he is only at the peak of the initial stage of foundation building.

But killing a cultivator at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, or even a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage, is like killing a chicken!

Chen Yang slowly exhaled, clenched his fists, felt the surging power in his body, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"At the peak of the early stage of foundation building, killing an early stage of golden elixir is as easy as killing a chicken. My current body with immortal spiritual roots is really incredibly strong!"

"It's a pity that I don't have any other skills at hand, otherwise I might be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm directly."

Chen Yang muttered to himself for a few words, and his eyes scanned the surroundings, finally falling on the layer of restriction at the entrance of the cave that was flickering with light.

This restriction sounds mysterious, but for Chen Yang now, he already knows it well.

He just waved his hand casually, and mysterious runes flew out from his fingertips and merged into the restriction like elves.

“Crack!”

With a slight sound, the restriction was broken without causing any ripples.

"This formation is indeed extremely mysterious, but I have other things to do right now. I'll study it in detail later when I have time."

Chen Yang clapped his hands, strode out of the cave, and returned to the extremely gloomy Xuanling Mountains again.

Feeling the fresh air blowing towards him, Chen Yang stretched and thought to himself.

"Originally, after walking here, I was planning to go to Yaoyang Holy Land to visit my old friend and catch up with him, and by the way, pick up a copy of the righteous way of cultivation to practice."

"But now... since my strength is no longer what it used to be, I'll explore deeper into Xuanling Mountain."

"See if you can find the so-called Immortal Blood Pool."

"Although those original essences and spiritual roots are of no use to me, they can still be used to repair some of the Seven Absolute Swords."

"Because of my soft-heartedness, the essence of the Seven Absolute Swords was damaged for a hundred years, and it was even nearly captured by a traitor..."

Thinking of this, Chen Yang no longer hesitated. After identifying the direction, he rushed towards the depths of Xuanling Mountain.

…

Deep in the Xuanling Mountains, miasma is everywhere, poisonous insects are everywhere, and ferocious beasts are rampant. It is a dangerous place where few people go.

However, for Chen Yang today, these dangers are not worth mentioning.

He rushed all the way, and before the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts could react, they were frightened by the powerful aura emanating from him and fled in all directions.

"roar!"

At this moment, a deafening beast roar suddenly came from the front, accompanied by a terrifying and heart-pounding pressure.

"Hmm? Finally, someone interesting has arrived!"

Chen Yang was not surprised but happy. He licked his lips and a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

I saw a huge python covered with black scales, coiled on a mountain.

The scarlet eyes stared at Chen Yang, and the snake's tongue kept spitting out of its mouth, as if warning him not to come near.

"Black-scaled python? Judging from your size, you should be close to the Golden Core stage, right? I can use you to test my new strength!"

Chen Yang grinned, without any fear, and instead took the initiative to greet him.

"roar!"

Seeing that Chen Yang was so arrogant, the black-scaled python became furious, opened its bloody mouth and bit Chen Yang fiercely.

The fishy smell hit me in the face, making me sick.

However, Chen Yang did not dodge, but clenched his right fist and punched out suddenly.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the huge head of the black-scaled python was blown away by Chen Yang's punch. It rolled several times in the air and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful howl.

The huge body of the black-scaled python fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. It twisted in pain and let out bursts of wailing.

The surrounding trees were rustling in fear, and some weak creatures were already scared out of their wits and were shivering in their nests.

Chen Yang clapped his hands, looking relaxed.

He looked at the behemoth in front of him. After this punch, he had a clearer understanding of his current strength.

"In terms of single-round strength, my current strength should be at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage."

After a rough estimate, Chen Yang nodded silently.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised by the outcome of the battle.

Ever since he obtained this body with immortal roots, he felt like he had been reborn, with his strength, speed, and reaction ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Now he is tempering his body with a massive amount of spiritual energy, so he will definitely get a lot of improvement.

"It seems like I need to find a stronger guy to practice with." Chen Yang said to himself, his eyes full of anticipation and desire.

He did not forget the purpose of coming to the Xuanling Mountains. Finding the Immortal Blood Pool and repairing the Seven Absolute Swords were the real tasks.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang's figure flashed and appeared above the black-scaled python's head like a ghost.

He looked down at the giant, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

After all, he was staying here peacefully, and he yelled at me because he had trespassed into his territory.

In order to test his strength, he almost killed it with a punch. Anyone would feel wronged.

"It's my fault today. Seeing that your training is not easy, just consider it a reward for practicing with me today."

As Chen Yang spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, which contained the essence and blood he had obtained from killing the red-scaled python.

This essence and blood contains powerful vitality, especially since they are both snake beasts, the two complement each other.

He pulled out the cork and poured one third of the blood into the wound of the black-scaled python.

"roar!"

The black-scaled python roared in pain, but soon it felt a powerful force surging into its body, and its original injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Alright, stop howling. I was a little too harsh just now." Chen Yang chuckled and waved his hand, "Let's go."

The black-scaled python seemed to understand his words, and rubbed its huge head on the ground as if to express gratitude.

Then, it dragged its heavy body and limped away into the depths of the jungle.

Chen Yang looked at its receding back, and suddenly thought of the day when he left the Floating Light Holy Land.

He thought of the eyes of those who relied on him to reach the top or even survive.

"The strong prey on the weak; this is the eternal law of the cultivation world."

"If you want to survive, you must continue to become stronger, otherwise you will just become a stepping stone for others."
