The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Seeing the smile on Duan Tianyang's face, the monster seemed to be infected and opened its ferocious mouth, making strange creaking sounds from its throat. Duan Tianyang secretly speculated in his heart that perhaps this monster was responding to his joy in its own unique way.

The monsters around him stared at him silently with their green eyes wide open, but none of them dared to act rashly. A strange tranquility filled the air.

Duan Tianyang slowly turned around and walked towards the spiritual stone that was emitting a faint light.

The monsters on the way seemed to be guided by invisible forces and consciously made way for him.

He sat lightly on the spirit stone, placed his left hand lightly on it, and as his fingertips moved, the power of the Devouring Ring quietly surged, greedily absorbing the seemingly endless true energy within the spirit stone.

This true energy was like the water of a river, flowing endlessly, nourishing every inch of his meridians. However, for him, the amount required to reach the coveted Shenglong realm was like the vast stars, so far away and unattainable.

The Shenglong Realm is not only a chasm on the road of martial arts, but also the key to a whole new realm of martial arts.

Once it crosses, it is a qualitative leap, not as simple as one plus one equals two. Even if he can absorb the true energy without limit at this moment, it is just a drop in the ocean.

He estimated that if he wanted to break through to the Shenglong realm simply by absorbing the true qi from this place, it would take at least three years.

For the vast majority of martial artists, being able to advance from the fifth level of the Earthly Demon Realm to the Ascending Dragon Realm in just three years is already an astounding feat.

But Duan Tianyang couldn't wait that long, because he had more important things to do, one was to find Ling Ziyan, and the other was to go back to Xiguan.

He stood up reluctantly and looked around, only to see the monsters still staring at him curiously with their eyes wide open.

This strange gaze quietly aroused his desire to explore this vast inner world.

In the next two days, Duan Tianyang cleverly used the wisdom of the lizard monsters and used them as guides to explore this vast underground secret realm in depth.

The cave here is like the heart of the underground world. The walls are covered with caves of various sizes, and each entrance leads to a fantastic new world.

Although Duan Tianyang had only visited two of the caves, he had already felt their vastness. As for the remaining thousands of caves, he was unable to fully appreciate their wonders due to limited time.

Before leaving, Duan Tianyang returned to the entrance of the tiankeng, and those lizard monsters who had only been with him for two days showed their deep affection for him.

They either staggered after him or clung to the stone walls, their green eyes flickering and full of affection, watching him in silence.

Although the time he spent with these monsters was short and Duan Tianyang was unable to communicate with them verbally, he was able to see through their thoughts by looking at their eyes.

He took a deep breath, with a hint of reluctance in his voice: "Maybe I will come back in the future, and then we will meet again."

The monsters surrounding him raised their green-spotted arms and gently scratched his body with their sharp nails. This was their unique and unpretentious expression of friendliness.

He sighed deeply and spoke slowly, "I can't bear to leave you, and I want to take you out to see the world. Unfortunately, you can't survive outside, and humans won't tolerate your existence."

"Okay, I really have to go. There are still many things waiting for me to do." After saying that, he did not delay any longer, pushed the ground with one foot, and his body flew into the air.

This jump actually made him leap more than ten meters high. Just as he was about to continue climbing with the help of the wind, a monster crawling on the wall suddenly stretched out its hand.

A warm feeling surged in Duan Tianyang's heart and a smile appeared on his face. He held the monster's hand tightly. The monster roared and swung its arm vigorously. With the help of this force, Duan Tianyang's body continued to rise.

The monsters around him also climbed up the cave wall quickly. Every time his body rose to the limit, there would always be a monster to lend a hand and throw him up again.

The monsters pulled Duan Tianyang like a relay, and his figure flew into the air again.

As they climbed higher, a long-lost ray of sunlight penetrated the cave and sprinkled on his face, a symbol of freedom and hope.

However, for the creatures underground, this light is an untouchable taboo. They can only look up, their eyes full of fear of the unknown world.

Duan Tianyang turned his wrist slightly, and the Ring of All Things turned into a long sword, piercing deeply into the wall of the cave.

He leaped lightly, stood on the blade, looked back at the monsters that were wailing non-stop, feeling mixed emotions.

"Go back, my friends. There's no need to see me off." His words were gentle and firm, but the reluctance in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Finally, he took a deep breath, retracted his long sword, and stepped up from the wall again. After a few light jumps, he had jumped out of the edge of the tiankeng and landed steadily on the land outside.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the scenery in the valley was magnificent and breathtakingly beautiful.

Duan Tianyang stood beside the tiankeng and shouted towards the bottom of the tiankeng: "I will definitely come back!"

After saying this, he no longer hesitated and ran towards Donggu Town.

He was naked, and the torn clothes were tied into strips around his waist, with the Huangji Jingshi Book and Qiankun Bag inside.

In this deep valley, only nature is his companion. Even if someone is spying on him, his footsteps as fast as a meteor are enough to blur all vision. With a light tap of his toes, his figure will already be several feet away.

As night fell, Duan Tianyang finally arrived at Donggu Town.

The once prosperous and peaceful town has now become a dead place. The residents have been slaughtered brutally, with no one spared.

On both sides of the street were the rotting bodies of the people, and the ground and walls were stained with blood, which was shocking to see.

In the darkness of night, the cold wind blew through the streets and alleys, carrying a foul smell that made people shudder.

Duan Tianyang stepped into this place of death, his fists gradually clenched, his heart filled with self-blame and indignation.

He knew very well that he had inadvertently brought disaster into this pure land.

If it weren't for his arrival, the people of Donggu Town might still be able to live in peace in isolation, and how could they have suffered the brutal hands of the Jin army and encountered a catastrophic disaster?

He arrived at Fan Wencheng's residence, only to see that the yard was also in a mess, with corpses lying everywhere and all the property looted.

Duan Tianyang found a set of suitable clothes in a room and quickly put them on.

Afterwards, he came to the open space outside the town, transformed the Universal Ring into a shovel, dug a huge deep pit, and moved all the corpses in the town there one by one, using cartloads of heavy goods in exchange for the final respect and rest for the deceased.

It was not until the dawn that he had buried all the bodies in the town.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on Donggu Town, Duan Tianyang had already set out on the journey to Bailu City.
