Holding onto the Gui tree, he won't be able to close his eyes for three days.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had already reached the realm of immortals. As the saying goes, a fully enlightened person doesn't need to sleep. An immortal is the most enlightened and perfect being, their spirit as flawless as a jade plate. They are always bathed in the light of the bright moon and the sun, and even without rest or sleep, they remain vigorous and energetic.
The next day, as dusk settled, the sky turned a deep, inky black and was bitterly cold. Ye Tian gathered dry firewood and weeds, and started a fire that burned fiercely. The fire was powerful, and the branches crackled and popped like firecrackers.
It's getting smaller now.
Chu Feng, who was closest, went to the side, picked a bunch of branches and weeds, and threw them back into the fireball.
The fire grew fiercely.
The candlelight, like a blush on Liu Rushi's cheeks, tinged her face with a warm glow, yet it also cast a gentle light on Ye Tian's cheeks. This created a sense of coziness.
Only fire can bring warmth to the cold night.
Neither Chu Feng nor Liu Rushi could understand it at first. Ye Tian was already a Golden Immortal cultivator, so why would he need to use mortal fire for warmth? On nights like this, it wouldn't harm him at all.
Let alone here, even in a freezing ice cellar in the middle of nowhere, freezing for three days and three nights would be like taking a cold shower for a Golden Immortal.
Now the two understood that Ye Tian didn't want warmth, but rather this atmosphere. Near the mountains of Shuxiang County, countless pairs of scarlet eyes were coldly staring at them. For every pair that left, another would follow.
Their target is the Gui tree!
The tiny tree, no bigger than a palm, is a treasure known to all demonic beasts. If they could obtain this treasure, their lives, and even their bloodline abilities, would be elevated to a higher level. This is a fatal temptation for demonic beasts.
It's irresistible, this instinctive temptation.
Ye Tian slowly adjusted his breathing rate, gradually nourishing his internal energy with each breath.
He must ensure his body is in top condition so he can face the provocations of these demonic beasts when the Gui Tree matures tomorrow.
Ye Tian's cultivation level had quietly leaped into the third level of the Golden Immortal realm.
Within the Ruthless Sect, all the laborers diligently cultivate. And the large workforce in the Desolate City provides various forms of accelerated support.
For Ye Tian, this was not yet the most significant improvement in his strength.
Excitingly, through the cultivation of many great Confucian scholars at the Confucian Academy these past few days, Ye Tian's Confucian and Taoist spiritual realm has improved by almost daily.
The peak of the ninth level of the national border!
To govern the country and bring peace to the world.
This realm is similar to the peak of the ninth level of the Cloud Realm.
Even if they are strong, they are not that strong. In front of immortals, they are like ants.
But Ye Tian is different.
Firstly, he can fight across five realms. This growth in combat experience is an ability Ye Tian possesses regardless of the system he's in.
Secondly, Ye Tian possesses abilities from the Confucian system. This is of great help to him. Previously, even though Ye Tian was an immortal, his primordial spirit was still weak. Now, with the Confucian system specifically designed to enhance the primordial spirit, his strength has been specifically boosted.
In this way, the help becomes much more than just a little bit.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian closed his eyes. His clear, jade-like mind sensed the ferocious aura of the nearby demonic beasts. Several of them possessed very high cultivation levels. The combined strength of this group of demonic beasts must be even higher than that of the Qiongqi demonic beast that had died on the ground.
Over the past two days, Ye Tian has been slowly recovering from his injuries and readjusting his fighting form. As dawn breaks and the sky brightens, the Gui tree will ripen.
So there's no need to wait. Passively waiting for others to attack is simply not in Ye Tian's nature.
In the blink of an eye.
Ye Tian almost instinctively locked onto several demonic beasts of considerable strength, but not the strongest. To establish his authority, he couldn't choose the strongest.
He needs to have a chance to kill with a single blow. Ye Tian is currently at the third level of the Golden Immortal realm. He can easily kill anyone weaker than the eighth level of the Golden Immortal realm.
So Ye Tian chose seven or eight Golden Immortals below the eighth level, and at the very moment he drew his sword, a flash of cold light streaked across the inky black night sky, followed by the crisp sound of tree branches snapping. Then came a few brief, hysterical screams.
Ye Tian slashed the throats of the demonic beasts with his longsword, instantly killing seven or eight demonic beasts at the Golden Immortal level or above!
The surging spiritual energy completely enveloped the mountain range. Ye Tian's expression was slightly cold, and his aura was as sharp as a knife, piercing outwards. Like leaves falling in a gale, it carved out multiple barriers on the ground, forming a wall of energy that firmly blocked the demonic beasts.
"Roar!!" A series of fierce roars echoed through the mountains. Aside from the slain beasts, the rest roared in fury, demonstrating their anger and defiance towards Ye Tian. Their eyes blazed with fury, as if they wanted to tear Ye Tian to shreds.
Perhaps it was a sense of shared grief, or perhaps panic. But more than anything, it was anger! They hadn't even attacked Ye Tian yet, and he dared to strike first! Why?! By what right?!
Ye Tian looked at the angry expressions on their faces, but his expression remained cold and indifferent, showing no sign of anything amiss. Instead, he drew his longsword, planted it deep in the ground, and coldly confronted the group of demonic beasts.
A demonic aura filled the sky, brimming with murderous intent.
The constant, menacing roars were so loud that Ye Tian was almost mentally exhausted.
With a whoosh, Ye Tian drew his longsword, carving a deep trench in the ground that sank inwards for nearly tens of meters.
Many weak demonic beasts were instantly caught in the attack and killed by the sword energy.
No matter how powerful a monster is, it can never be considered a real threat.
Even those who are enlightened are all incredibly stupid unless they are divine-level demonic beasts with extremely noble bloodlines. Even if there are demonic beasts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level here, they only fight alone and will not unite their strength to resist together.
