"Take us to find something useful, and we'll take you away."
I'll find you a suitable body outside.
"Otherwise, you can stay here and fend for yourself," said the Lord of Hongmeng.
Old man: ……
He wanted to remain defiant, but then he remembered that he had been here for hundreds of thousands of years, and suddenly... he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Alright, I agree."
But his eyes were still darting around.
Xiao Mo'er and Yao Yao entered the alchemy room and were immediately stunned.
The alchemy room was incredibly large, even larger than a palace.
The top was covered with countless bottles and jars, and the aroma of medicine wafted through the air.
Perhaps due to the isolation provided by the array, the medicinal properties were well preserved.
The old man was a straightforward person; after realizing he couldn't possess someone's body, he became much more generous.
He said arrogantly, "I'm not bragging, but all the pills I refine are divine."
"Stop praising yourself."
"How could someone as capable as you be ambushed?" Yuan Yuan said, then went inside to search for medicinal pills.
The old man snorted angrily, "What do you know?"
That guy was born with a handsome face, which is why he deceived my Daoist partner.
I wasn't defeated by him, but by his physical appearance.
Everyone: ...
6, that's awesome!
Didn't we still lose?
The old man was a spirit, unable to store medicine or anything else, and knew that once he left, he would not return.
He said to the Lord of Hongmeng with heartache, "You know formations. Break that formation. There are many cultivation techniques inside, which I collected. You can have them."
Upon hearing about the cultivation method, everyone's eyes lit up with surprise.
Even the little one in Xiao Mo'er's arms showed joy.
Following the old man's instructions, the Lord of Primordial Chaos broke through the formation.
Sure enough, they obtained several cultivation manuals.
The firebird, however, was focused on finding elixirs; it didn't care about cultivation techniques.
Those techniques all look pretty good.
"With your level of cultivation, how were you able to enter this desert? I truly cannot understand it."
"Even the original beings of these deserts had great difficulty entering back then." After rambling on, the old man asked, "Do you have any space where I can stay?"
"There's no space, but there is in the sea of consciousness." After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, he directly let him enter his sea of consciousness, and he stayed there obediently.
His sea of consciousness is suppressed by ancient artifacts and the primordial world, so it seems he can't rebel.
"That's the only way," the old man sighed softly.
After they had finished packing, they left the palace, exited the city, and continued their journey.
During a break in their journey, the Lord of Hongmeng asked Yuanyuan, "Do you know the cultivation levels on this continent?"
"My family is too small, and we've never left our hometown."
All I know is that it is divided into Hongmeng, Milky Way, stars, and universe.
That's all I know.
The old man snorted coldly in his mind.
"How dare they call this one continent the universe?"
This continent is merely a place where various powerful families dispose of their useless members.
"Then you're useless too?" Xiao Mo'er couldn't help but blurt out.
Old man: ……
He jumped again. "Bullshit, I'm a genius."
I just…
Nothing more was said after that.
They arrived at an oasis at dusk.
We'll probably be out of the desert in a few more days.
Xiao Mo'er released the little fish and asked it, "Then I'll put you here!"
Yuanyuan also released the old man and gave him a pill to protect his spirit.
The old man was overjoyed when he saw the little fish. "This is a treasure! I used to keep one myself."
Xiao Mo'er ignored him.
Little Fish nodded shyly, twirling in Xiao Mo'er's palm as if she was very reluctant to part with her.
Xiao Mo'er was generous and shared some of the pills she found with Xiao Yu.
The little fish were overjoyed and jumped into the pool.
This oasis is wonderful; it has a water source so they can rest.
The old man also learned from the Lord of Hongmeng about the rampant monsters.
He sneered, "It's just those old guys causing trouble. They're afraid the cultivators on this continent will escape this cage."
However, it won't be easy for us to leave; there are guards who don't allow cultivators from this continent to leave.
"Can't we ascend to heaven?" Yao Yao asked.
The old man scoffed, "How could I possibly allow ascension?"
The Heavenly Dao here is incomplete; there is no path to ascension.
It's about trapping the people here to die.
You can only leave if you make a significant contribution.
For example, I... refined a top-grade Flying Spirit Pill, but unfortunately..."
He was filled with indignation at the thought that he had been deceived by a despicable person.
Everyone was taking pills and meditating cross-legged.
"Your cultivation levels are far too low," the old man said with a look of disdain.
Yuan Yuan took out his low-level cultivation technique.
Everyone practiced according to the instructions.
The Lord of Hongmeng glanced at it, then entered a meditative state. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he actually broke through.
Old man: ……
I can't believe it.
He stared intently at the Lord of Primordial Chaos and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
It took me decades to break through the basic techniques.
"Because you're stupid."
"How can you compare to my father?" Yuan Yuan rolled her eyes at him.
After the Hongmeng Master broke through, he felt much lighter and seemed to be able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth here.
This feels great.
The old man took out another cultivation technique and gave it to him, saying defiantly, "If you're so capable, show me how to break through again."
It took me fifty years to learn this technique.
The Lord of Hongmeng took the cultivation manual, read it carefully, and then closed his eyes to cultivate.
Old man: ……
