a Man Like None Other Chapter 7101 When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack.
“Of course, I’m tough.”
David grinned, “Besides, I haven’t even beaten that bastard Heng Xuan to a pulp yet, how can I just die like this?”
Ling Xiyue squatted down beside him, looking at the gruesome wound on David’s chest that had not yet fully healed, her icy blue eyes surging with heartache and lingering fear.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but David stopped her with a look: “Don’t cry, I’m fine. If you cry, I’ll have to comfort you later, which is too much trouble.”
Ling Xiyue glared at him angrily, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved into a smile.
The five of them, along with Ling Shuang, rested in the underground river for a full month.
David used the power of the Chaos Origin combined with the alchemical power of the Shennong Cauldron to completely clear away the remnants of order in his meridians. He then spent most of his time nurturing and restoring the resonance of the four treasures.
His cultivation level slowly climbed from the late stage of the seventh rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although he had not yet returned to the eighth rank, his foundation had been completely stabilized, and the fusion of the Chaos Origin and the Devouring Dao Rhyme had become more harmonious.
More importantly, David did not sit idle during this month.
He instructed Ling Shuang to collect the fragments of ancient spiritual veins remaining in the dark river, and using the Chaos Origin as a medium, extract all the Daoist essence sealed within those fragments and integrate it into the waters of the dark river.
The water quality of the underground river thus underwent subtle changes, with each drop of spiritual spring water containing an extremely faint yet extremely pure ancient Daoist essence. The five people used the spiritual spring water daily to cleanse their physical bodies, nourish their spirits, and refine their Dao foundation, with effects far exceeding any elixir.
“Beneath this underground river, there is probably the remnant of an ancient spiritual vein.”
After exploring the depths of the underground river, Ling Shuang concluded, “It should have been buried underground when the ancient heavens collapsed. It is of extremely high grade, but unfortunately, most of it has been broken, and the remaining spiritual vein power is so weak that it can be ignored.”
But for our current situation, this ‘meager’ amount is enough.
Upon hearing this, David’s purple eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Sure enough, although the broken and dimmed root was broken, its Daoist structure was completely different from that of the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, or even thirty-sixth heavens—it was more ancient, more primitive, and closer to the chaotic state before the heavens were separated.
“This thing… is on the same level as my primordial chaos.”
