A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Somewhere in the Demon Valley, a yellow-brown agile figure was approaching quickly from a distance. If you look closely, you can see that the yellow-brown figure is a huge deer that is ten feet tall.
It has a pair of huge antlers and its body is yellow-brown, with only its limbs being snow-white.
"Hurry up and chase it, don't let the Mountain God's Maned Snow Deer escape." At this moment, a silver bell sound came from behind the deer.
Then a group of figures came roaring and chasing after the mountain god's maned snow deer.
"I want to catch it as a mount, so don't hurt it, otherwise you will be held accountable!" A girl with a high ponytail emerged from the crowd.
Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the mountain god's snow-maned deer.
"Hey, this mountain god's maned snow deer escaped here, why didn't it run away again?" The girl's sparkling eyes showed surprise. They chased it all the way here, but it stopped running away here.
Is there something strange here?
The girl didn't care about anything else. She couldn't contain her love for the Mountain God's Maned Snow Deer. She immediately called her subordinates and pointed at the Mountain God's Maned Snow Deer in the distance.
She ordered, "It looks like it's tired. Go and catch it for me. Remember, don't let it get hurt, otherwise I won't forgive you."
"Wait." A tall man in the crowd spoke.
"Brother, why did you stop them?"
"There's something unusual about this place." The man looked solemn. He raised his head and looked at a not-so-tall mountain not far away. At the foot of the mountain, there was a messy pile of rubble.
A faint spiritual energy leaked out from the rubble.
This overflowing spiritual energy may be the reason that attracted the mountain god's snow deer to come here.
Not only that, the man raised his head and looked around with a slightly surprised expression. He found that not only the mountain god's maned snow deer was attracted here, but there were also many monsters hiding in the surrounding stone walls, mountains, and jungles.
Although the cultivation levels of these monsters are not high, if they all riot, this group of people will be in trouble.
"Retreat!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the man immediately gave the order.
Seeing that the mount she was about to get was about to be lost, the girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, I won't leave. I want that deer, I want it, I want it."
The man shook his head and sighed. Just as he was about to explain, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head abruptly and looked forward.
boom!
A huge roar came from the front, shaking the valley.
The man's face became more solemn. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the mountain he had noticed before, and the rubble at the foot of the mountain. It was this rubble that suddenly exploded with a loud roar.
The rubble exploded, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance inside.
At the same time, a terrifying pressure spread out from the inside of the cave. The range of this pressure was extremely wide. As soon as it was released, all the monsters in the surrounding area crawled on the ground, howling and moaning, showing a gesture of submission.
The mountain god's maned snow deer also neighed, bent its limbs, and surrendered to the ground.
"Please forgive me, senior. I have no intention of offending you. I will lead everyone away now!" The man's face suddenly changed. He grabbed the girl who had just jumped off the horse, pulled her back onto the horse, and led the horse away.
The girl was frightened by the man's violent reaction and was at a loss as to what to do. She stopped showing her temper and allowed the man to pick her up and tie her to the horse's back.
At this time, a black figure walked out slowly step by step from the dark cave.
The figure was dressed in a black robe, with long black hair flying in the wind. His eyes were clearly black and white, as deep as a pool of water. He looked quietly at the group of people who were fleeing in panic without stopping them.
The man looked back while running away, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he immediately turned his head away, not daring to look again.
He couldn't see through that person's cultivation level.
After the man walked out of the cave, all the monsters around him buried their heads even lower, their bodies trembled slightly, and they made low wailing sounds.
The pressure from the tenth level of Qi Condensation was completely dissipated, and they were simply unable to resist it.
"I used up all the elixirs that could improve my cultivation level, and after a month, I finally raised my cultivation level to the tenth level of Qi Condensation." This person was Xue Kong. He murmured softly, feeling very melancholy.
The efficacy of those pills was not very good for him who was still at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
During this month, he mainly absorbed spirit stones and relied on breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which enabled him to successfully reach the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
If I didn't have the advantage of my spiritual roots, it would probably take longer.
"A month has passed in the blink of an eye." Xue Kong murmured, "According to my memories from my previous life, compared to this time, this should be the time when I first entered the Earth Demon Valley."
"So, I'm not in a hurry to enter Guanglan City and Demon Island, because they..."
"The final treasure trove cannot be opened."
"Looking across the entire Jingwu Country, I may be the only one who knows how to open it."
Xue Kong still remembered that the real place where the treasure was buried on the Demon Island was discovered by a Jindan cultivator when he entered the Demon Island for the sixth time. Finally, he joined forces with all the Jindan cultivators to find the eye of the array, and then it was opened.
This is only the first time. Not only that no one can open the real place where the treasure is buried, even the other caves of the Demon Lord Baofu may not have been discovered by anyone.
Xue Kong would recall these precious memories in his mind from time to time and never forget them. This was also his greatest advantage on the Demon Island.
"However, I should still rush to Guanglan City as soon as possible. There is nothing in this Earth Demon Valley that can attract me. Besides, my hope of building my foundation lies in Guanglan City."
Xue Kong pondered for a moment, then put away his cultivation and restrained it within his body.
The pressure of the tenth level of Qi Condensation disappeared, and the monsters around felt relieved. They crawled up from the ground one by one, looked at Xue Kong in fear, and fled in all directions, leaving here.
The mountain god's maned snow deer let out a low cry and ran away into the distance.
Xue Kong did not stop him. He was not a bloodthirsty person and would not kill unless necessary.
After identifying the direction, Xue Kong took a step forward and disappeared on the spot.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more earth-shaking changes each improvement will bring. Xue Kong today is already much stronger than Xue Kong a month ago.
Just walking was faster than the speed he had at that time when he borrowed the quicksand from the Five Pole Gourd.
The Demon Valley is extremely vast. If it is your first time here, you may not be able to find the exit and will get lost, running around in the Demon Valley like a headless fly.
If the exact direction is determined, it will only take three days to cross the entire Demon Valley.
Xue Kong is the latter.
As Xue Kong went deeper into the Demon Valley and got closer to Guanglan City, he met more and more cultivators.
Their cultivation levels are different.
Some of them were only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, while others could reach the eleventh level, some were even Foundation Establishment cultivators. Xue Kong had encountered all of them.
Most of the monks who were not familiar with the way were crowded in the central area of the Demon Valley. With so many people, there were more conflicts, which led to everyone being subconsciously alert and taking a defensive stance when a stranger approached.
Xue Kong didn't care about others and was only concerned about getting on his way.
With his current strength, he can ignore all cultivators except those who have reached the great perfection of Qi Condensation and above the Foundation Establishment stage.
Soon, Xue Kong finally arrived at the deepest part of the Demon Valley, the entrance to a deep mountain connected to Guanglan City.
