Zhao Yuanshan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of overwhelming joy appeared on his face.
“Really? That’s amazing! Thank you very much, Mr. Chen!”
He repeatedly bowed, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement, “The demon dog problem has haunted us for many years, causing many deaths. We are truly at our wits’ end. We are very grateful to Master Chen for his help!”
David nodded. “Village chief, you are too kind. Please take me to my lodging first.”
“Okay, okay! Mr. Chen, please follow me!” Zhao Yuanshan turned around and led David and Jiang Xuelan into the village.
Zhao Tieshan followed behind, with a smile on his face.
The villagers chatted among themselves, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation as they watched David’s retreating figure.
Can this young man really help them solve the demon dog problem?
They don’t know.
But they are willing to believe it.
Because Zhao Tieshan said that this young man could finish off a level five Golden Immortal demon dog with one sword slash.
This level of strength is unmatched in the entire Qingfeng Village.
Maybe he really could do it.
David and Jiang Xuelan rested for a day in Qingfeng Village.
Even though it was called a break, David didn’t actually rest.
The bamboo house had very simple furnishings: a bamboo sofa, a wooden table, an oil lamp, and outside the window stretched rolling green hills with the occasional sound of birds chirping.
He sat cross-legged on a bamboo sofa, closed his eyes to meditate, and the power of chaos flowed slowly within his body.
Purplish-gray light, like tiny dragons, silently traversed through his meridians. Each beam of light carried an indescribable rhythm, as if the primordial chaos from the beginning of time was re-evolving within him.
His cultivation level was still at the first rank of the Golden Immortal realm.
However, he could feel that the concentration of chaotic power was higher than before.
Each wisp of spiritual energy was like divine iron that had been forged through countless trials; although the quantity did not increase, the quality was completely different.
Deep in the dantian, a space law seed rotated slowly, like a small star emitting a faint silver light.
The light was very faint, almost imperceptible, but every flicker created tiny ripples in the surrounding space.
The seed of the law of time also began to grow, although it was still very weak, like a tender shoot that had just broken through the ground, but its existence could already be felt—it was a very mysterious feeling, as if the passage of time within him had slowed down.
The laws governing the universe in the nineteenth heaven were more than ten times more perfect than the laws in the eighteenth heaven.
Here, scraps of law were no longer rare, but instead were as ubiquitous as air.
Cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm could train here at a speed several times faster than in the lower realms.
However, on the other hand, there were also many stronger and tougher individuals here.
In the eighteenth heaven, a sixth-rank Gold Immortal already possessed supreme combat strength; but in the nineteenth heaven, a level six Gold Immortal could only be considered average.
Jiang Xuelan sat on the other side of the bamboo house, surrounded by icy blue light.
His cultivation method was very different from David’s—David’s chaotic power devoured and melted everything, while he infused the ice-type laws of heaven and earth into his body bit by bit, combining them with his own ice god bloodline.
The cold air lowered the temperature of the entire bamboo house significantly, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the bamboo walls, sparkling with crystal clear light in the morning sun.
His cultivation level was at the third rank of the Golden Immortal realm.
After the Ice God’s bloodline was fully awakened, his cultivation speed increased greatly, and the Ice God’s strength far surpassed that of other people of the same level.
In successive battles in the seventeenth and eighteenth heavens, he had proven that cultivators below the fifth rank of the Golden Immortal realm were no match for him.
But this was the nineteenth heaven, and the third rank of the Golden Immortal realm was only the starting point.
He needed to get stronger.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight penetrated the bamboo forest and entered the bamboo house, making the whole house feel warm and bright.
The golden light fell on the bamboo wall, turning the ice flowers into a pale gold color, like small gems embedded in the bamboo.
The sound of birds chirping came from outside the window, clear and melodious, carrying the unique fresh aroma of mountains and fields.
The distant mountains were faintly visible amidst the morning mist, like a traditional Chinese ink painting.
David opened his eyes, a glimmer of cunning flashed in his dark pupils.
The light was dim, but as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath, fleeting and mortal.
The aura he exuded was more restrained than yesterday, and the power of chaos circulated more smoothly and freely within his body.
“Time to get up.” His voice was calm.
Jiang Xuelan also opened her eyes, her icy blue eyes flashing a hint of languor.
She stretched, her snow-white dress shimmering faintly under the morning light, like a thin layer of frost covering silk.
Her long, pitch-black hair simply fell loosely over her shoulders, the tips still contained tiny ice crystals that had condensed during her cultivation the night before, sparkling in the sunlight.
