"Greetings, Young Master Li."
The many powerful figures guarding the entrance to the desolate wilderness bowed to Li Ming. With the mysterious ancient domain and the Great Yu Divine Dynasty not emerging, Li Ming was almost invincible. He even killed several Dao-level domain experts who descended from beyond the domain. It can be said that he was the savior of Dong Sheng. If it weren't for him, Dao-level experts could have destroyed Dong Sheng. Therefore, these people were very grateful to him and respected him.
Li Ming waved his hand: "No need to be polite. Have there been any unusual movements in the wilderness recently?"
A person wearing a straw hat came out and said, "Recently, there have been frequent roars coming from the wilderness. I have never heard such a sound before. It must be the roars of a huge savage beast inside."
Li Ming asked, "Have you sent anyone in to investigate?"
"Ever since the people from the divine dynasties and immortal sects who explored the desolate lands disappeared, eerie roars have frequently echoed from the desolate lands, even tearing the sky apart. No one dares to go in anymore, for there are terrifying dangers hidden inside, and it's feared that once you go in, you won't be able to come out." The man in the bamboo hat described it tremblingly, and one could imagine just how terrifying it was.
Li Ming bid farewell to the people guarding the wilderness and led the black dog and green ivy inside. This place would be the best place to break through to the second realm of the Dao. If we were to talk about the place with the most divine beasts and strange creatures in Dongsheng, the wilderness would be the best.
...
As Li Ming completely disappeared from sight, the short man said, "The first realm of Dao, a supreme expert at the Heavenly Venerable level, what was he doing in the Wilderness? Once he went in, could he come out again?"
"Perhaps." The man wearing a bamboo hat gazed at Li Ming's disappearing figure. "To be honest, we are all people who haven't even stepped into the Dao Realm. We are not qualified to discuss the experts in the Dao Realm. We should just do our own thing."
The others nodded in agreement.
Soon, they spread the word about the disappearance, and also spread the news about Li Ming, Black Dog, and Green Ivy.
The world was shocked.
Even the mysterious ancient domain and the Great Yu Divine Dynasty couldn't figure out what they were up to. However, everyone felt a sense of urgency, as if a new storm was about to break out.
...
Half an hour later.
Li Ming walked across the desolate land, with Green Ivy sitting on the black dog, surveying this strange place. Weeds grew rampant, and a mysterious and desolate atmosphere lingered around their noses.
“This is the wilderness,” the black dog wagged its tail. “We’ve only gone a short distance, but we already feel like there are so many eyes watching us. It’s a very bad feeling.”
"Doggy, are you scared?" Green Ivy sat on the black dog's back, swaying her short, white legs.
"Scared? What a joke!" The black dog shuddered a few times, raised its arrogant head, and said, "There's nowhere in this world I'm afraid of."
Green Ivy uttered a few words: "The center of the forbidden area of the sacred mountain."
Black Dog immediately shut up. Why bring up the sore spot? He was indeed fearless and had traveled to most parts of Zuzhou. However, the most terrifying place he had ever encountered was the Forbidden Land of the Divine Mountain. It was because of the Forbidden Land of the Divine Mountain that he was forced to stay in the Yunmeng Sect for tens of thousands of years, and his strength plummeted to less than one-eleventh of his peak strength. It was truly not a friendly place.
"Doggy, why aren't you saying anything?" Green Ivy tugged at the black dog's ear, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Dog!"
"Woof woof woof..."
The man and the dog walked and played as they went. Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to them and didn't say a word the whole time. He was now following the direction that Jie Gu, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Martial God Dynasty, had walked.
He had not forgotten the purpose of his trip to the wilderness: first, to bring her out of the wilderness; and second, to break through to the second realm of the Dao, the [Domain Lord] realm.
The first thing to do now is to walk the route she once took, so that we can find out whether she is dead or alive, and what she went through here.
In the wildlands, the temperature and environment change as quickly as a woman's mood swings; sometimes it's shrouded in thick fog, sometimes it's pouring rain, and sometimes it's the dead of winter.
In short, it is complex, ever-changing, and the weather is highly variable.
As they ventured deeper into the wilderness, powerful savage beasts finally began to appear. Each one was incredibly ferocious, with green eyes that seemed to have not eaten meat for tens of thousands of years. Their hungry gazes were simply impossible to suppress.
"Roar." They began to roar, summoning a pack of ferocious beasts, like tigers, which stared menacingly at Li Ming and his companions.
"Li Ming, what the hell are these things? How can they be so strong?" The black dogs were so frightened that they crawled on the ground. Each of them was wrapped in divine power, clearly indicating that they were experts in the Dao-level realm.
In the Dao realm, one can roam freely anywhere else, but here, it feels like one can walk on the ground with impunity.
"You all stay hidden." Li Ming made his move, forcing his way out with an explosive burst of power and divine energy.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he killed these dozen or so savage beasts, then extracted and refined them, turning them into his own Dao patterns.
The black dog beside Li Ming stared at him in surprise and slowly uttered a few words: "What are you doing? Extracting something from their bodies?"
He found Li Ming's actions very strange; he couldn't understand them at all.
He seemed to be extracting Dao patterns from the body of a savage beast. Even someone as knowledgeable as him found it incredible. What was going on? He had never heard of such a thing before.
Why is he practicing some strange and unusual things again?
“These are Dao patterns, of course. Can’t you see? To advance to the Domain Lord realm, you need Dao patterns. You need to collect Dao patterns and then weave them together to create your own domain,” Li Ming explained.
"There's such a cultivation method in the world?" The black dog was a little confused, but then his eyes lit up. "I suddenly remembered an ancient legend, the Heavenly Book Cultivation System."
