Qin An felt that what Shi Xue said made sense. If he came out of the Demon Abyss now, it would be difficult to find such high-quality demonic energy to cultivate in the future.
Besides, Qin An felt that his cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm was still somewhat insufficient, and it would be even better if he could improve it again.
In Qin An's view, insufficient cultivation meant he couldn't protect his master brother. He had made up his mind to protect his master brother long ago, and now that a great opportunity to improve his cultivation was in front of him, how could he let it slip by?
Therefore, Qin An only thought for a moment before agreeing to Shi Xue's request and decided to cultivate here for a while longer.
...
Another year has passed; this is Qin An's fourth year in the Abyss of Fallen Demons.
At this moment, Qin An was sitting cross-legged, absorbing the dissipating demonic energy around him. Four years was enough time for Qin An to undergo earth-shattering changes. His face had fully matured, with sharp features, a pair of straight, sword-like eyebrows that blended into the wispy hair at his temples, and a pair of piercing, phoenix-shaped eyes that were extremely intimidating. His nose was high and straight, and his pale, thin lips completed his aggressive look.
The sword mark between Qin An's brows was completely gone, replaced by his Spirit Demon Mark. The original purplish-black mark had become even more profound. Anyone who looked directly at it would be captivated by its allure, their gaze utterly mesmerized.
After absorbing the last trace of demonic energy, Qin An slowly opened his eyes. What kind of eyes were they? His eyes were extremely dark and unfathomable, exuding a strong sense of oppression with every glance. Combined with the shape of his eyes, they were even more striking, adding to his aggressive aura.
Qin An slowly finished his practice. He gently wiped his brow with his finger, and the demonic mark disappeared.
He let out a long sigh, suppressing the power emanating from his eyes while practicing his internal energy, and his eyes returned to their clear and calm state.
Qin An stood up and stretched his joints. He was now at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the Integration stage. However, he had already absorbed all the demonic energy of the Fallen Demon Abyss, so there was no point in him staying any longer.
After stretching his body, Qin An called to Shi Xue, who had been waiting impatiently. "Shi Xue, we're going up today. Let's prepare to leave the Fallen Demon Abyss!"
"Oh ho! We're finally leaving this awful place! I can't wait!" Upon hearing that they were about to leave, Bloodthirst jumped for joy.
"What a hellish place?" Qin An raised an eyebrow. "Who was so excited when they first came here? They even said it was a place of great feng shui?" Qin An was overjoyed at the thought of being able to leave soon and see his master brother, and he even joked with Shi Xue.
"Ugh! Even the best place gets boring after a while! What's more, we've been here for four years! Four years! Not four days! I'm so bored I'm practically growing mushrooms!" Bloodthirsty's little mouth kept complaining.
"Alright, I know you want to go out. Bloodthirsty, turn back into your original form first, we're going to fly out on our swords!"
"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Bloodthirsty Sword quickly transformed into Bloodthirsty Sword and obediently ran to Qin An's feet, allowing Qin An to step on it and fly up.
Qin An made a hand seal with one hand, manipulating the Bloodthirsty Sword to fly upwards towards the top of the cliff. When it reached the anti-flight barrier, Qin An waved his hand, and his immense cultivation power permeated the barrier, causing it to instantly collapse.
This anti-space barrier only works on those at or below the Nascent Soul stage, while Qin An is currently at the peak of the Deity Transformation stage, so breaking through this mere anti-space barrier is incredibly easy for him.
Qin An wielded the Bloodthirsty Sword and flew up the cliff in a flash. When he arrived at the place where he had previously touched the barrier, he could clearly see that barrier. It stood firmly between the Fallen Demon Abyss and the outside world, preventing all living beings from leaving.
Qin An raised the Bloodthirsty Sword and slashed at the barrier. The barrier rippled and tore open a large gash.
Qin An then walked out from the torn opening.
The abyss of demons is forever shrouded in gray, without a glimmer of light.
When Qin An encountered the long-awaited sunshine, his mood brightened as well.
Qin An randomly chose a direction and headed towards the nearest town.
He wanted to gather some information first, especially regarding the Star River Sect. After all, he had been in the Abyss of Fallen Demons for four years, and had been out of touch with the outside world for quite some time.
He now wants to learn more about the latest news and developments, so that he won't be completely in the dark.
He flew a distance on his sword, then dismounted some distance from the town. He sheathed the Bloodthirsty Sword and walked towards the town on foot.
He quickly reached the city gate and looked up to see the three large characters "Qingshui Town" standing on the ancient city wall. Due to long-term exposure to wind, sun, and rain, the three characters were already quite mottled.
Qin An strolled into Qingshui Town.
Upon entering Qingshui Town, Qin An immediately attracted the attention of many. Because Qin An cultivated both immortal and demonic arts, he possessed both the ethereal quality of an immortal and the unrestrained aura of a demon. Coupled with his striking appearance and towering height of 1.9 meters, he stood out like a crane among chickens among a group of ordinary mortals.
Qin An ignored the stares, found a teahouse, went inside, and casually sat down.
People only looked away with regret when they saw Qin An enter the teahouse and disappear from sight.
