Chapter 22 - Journeying into the Great Wilderness

After traveling for several days, Long Xuan spotted a relatively large city. He hadn't seen any familiar surroundings in days.

Long Xuan almost thought he had drifted out of the Outer Realms, so he quickened his pace and entered the city directly.

He went straight to an inn and asked the attendant at the counter, "What region is this?"

The attendant was puzzled as to why Long Xuan would ask such a question, but he still answered where they were.

Hearing the attendant's answer, Long Xuan relaxed. Although it was still far from the Great Wilderness, he was still in the Wilderness Region. He took out a piece of gold, "A night's stay."

The attendant happily accepted the gold, and with a smile, took out a key and said, "Alright, sir, this is your room, please keep the key safe."

After taking the key, Long Xuan went to his room, closed the doors and windows, and set up a rune array.

He took out two precious bones. One bone flickered with silver runes, weaving the Dao and its principles, radiating a dense spatial and temporal fluctuation. Long Xuan was amazed. Gu, one of the Ten Evils, mastered space and time; what a talent!

Even the rune bones, which only contained precious techniques, were so profound. One could imagine how magical this precious technique was.

The other one simply had time runes flowing on the primordial precious bone, but Long Xuan wouldn't underestimate it. The Immortal King of the Outer Realms, the Red King, relied on his mastery of the source of time to kill countless prodigies on the river of time. Even Shi Hao was almost ensnared.

Both precious techniques contained time-related techniques, allowing for mutual reference, which was absolutely extraordinary.

Space could not only be used as an offensive method; if one reached a profound realm, almost no grand array could trap them.

The bone box, as white as jade, had six sides. Long Xuan had an idea. Perhaps six powerful precious techniques would be needed to open it.

Right now, he only had the True Dragon, Suanni, and Azure Scaled Eagle techniques. Of these, only the True Dragon and Suanni techniques might work, but he hadn't yet studied the Gu Clan's and time-beast techniques.

He could only return to Stone Village and find Willow Deity to open the Mountain Treasure.

Lying on the comfortable bed, Long Xuan looked at the ceiling, lost in memories. Over the years, a sense of urgency had driven him to cultivate desperately, making full use of his time.

And situations like this were very rare. He was truly exhausted, wanting to avoid being purged in the future great upheaval.

However, the thought of not being able to protect those he cared about if he wasn't strong enough spurred him forward.

He closed his eyes, falling into a rare sleep.

The next day.

Yawn…

The first rays of the newborn sun shone into the room. Long Xuan opened his eyes, yawning and stretching.

After a night's rest, Long Xuan was no longer tired. He was now full of energy, with inexhaustible strength coursing through him.

He packed his things, checked out of the room, and set off again towards the Great Wilderness.

Facing the morning sun, Long Xuan began his long journey. After several days of travel, the presence of people began to thin out, and the forests became more lush. The roars of various ferocious beasts also began to appear.

Long Xuan realized that he had now entered the territory of the Great Wilderness, and a familiar aura washed over him.

Long Xuan shouted towards the Great Wilderness, "I'm back!"

His voice spread out like a wave of air, causing the mountains, ravines, and sturdy pines to shake.

The weaker flying birds and beasts along the way were directly frightened and scattered, only the powerful Ancient Descendants remained in place.

"Moo..."

A bellowing sound came, and a giant bull with smooth, satin-like fur and flames under its hooves, its body dozens of meters in size, appeared before Long Xuan.

"Isn't this the Fire-Leaving Bull Demon?"

Looking at this familiar Ancient Descendant, Long Xuan was immediately amused. Was this a warm welcome right after he arrived in the Great Wilderness?

Long Xuan's lips curled up as he charged directly towards the giant bull at an extremely fast speed. It was perfect for a quick snack.

Seeing this tiny human in front of him, the giant bull sneered, using its massive horns that radiated a cold light to charge at Long Xuan.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

The result was disastrous. With a loud crash, Long Xuan's fist, forged from divine gold, slammed directly onto the Fire-Leaving Bull Demon's head. The sound of bones cracking was clear as two large eyeballs popped out.

Ha!

Long Xuan clenched the bull's horns with both hands and began to swing the giant bull back and forth. After dozens of rounds, the bull rolled its eyes, foamed at the mouth, and was out of commission.

"Clap clap!"

He threw the giant bull to the side and patted the dust off his hands. This bull was just enough to warm him up.

He took out a large, black iron pot, filled it with water, and then butchered the giant bull. Chunks of beef went into the pot, along with various spices. He put on the lid, having learned a thing or two from the aunties in Stone Village; his cooking skills were now definitely on par with Shi Hao's.

At the bottom of the pot, Long Xuan even used Dao Flame. In moments, the enticing aroma spread outwards, its fragrance drifting for miles.

The ferocious beasts in the vicinity were all drawn in, but when they saw the bull still in the pot, they didn't dare to move.

He opened the lid, and a rich fragrance, accompanied by steam, immediately wafted out. Divine essence flowed within the broth.

Sniff!

Long Xuan inhaled the aroma, his mouth watering. He picked up a piece of crystal-clear beef, its fragrance overwhelming. He ate it, and a surge of energy rushed into his limbs and bones.

"Ah, it's practically a flesh and blood elixir!" he exclaimed, his body also emitting a faint glow.

Long Xuan's mouth didn't slow down either; his chopsticks moved so fast they were just blurs, and everything ended up in his stomach. He even drank the broth until the pot was completely dry.

Burp!

He let out a satisfied burp, patted his slightly rounded belly, and felt completely comfortable. With each breath, motes of light rained down.

Patting the dust off himself, Long Xuan looked at the bull skeleton on the ground and complimented it:

"Not bad, the beef's taste is in the top few."

He packed up his things and continued moving in the direction the Willow Deity had gone.

Any birds or beasts he encountered along the way, if they dared to approach, ended up in his stomach.

All the living beings remembered a creature once called a凶神 (fierce god), and inexplicably felt fear.

Because of the Four Beast Sovereigns' previous fight over the Mountain Treasure, many Ancient Descendants had fled the central area.

Moreover, the center was scorched earth after the battle, completely unsuitable for survival.

Along the way, whenever an Ancient Descendant saw Long Xuan, they immediately ran. He was now covered in the scent of Ancient Descendants.

Smelling that scent made them think of this ruthless person. If they didn't run, they would all become food. Furthermore, Long Xuan always dealt with them in just a few moves, which was truly terrifying.

Beep beep beep!

At this moment, Long Xuan held a clay pot in his hand, which contained golden honey. The sweet fragrance spread far and wide.

Long Xuan went directly to the big honeybees from the previous time and without a word, he took out a large jar. When the bees wanted to attack, they were directly frightened by the aura Long Xuan emitted.

With a loud buzz, they ran back to their nest, not even wanting the honey.

Walking along the river, Long Xuan once again saw the Fire-Leaving Bull Demon cub drinking water. Its realm was probably at the Transformation Spirit Realm. Long Xuan was surprised; were there so many of this bull's kind?

The law of the jungle prevailed. He also felt a little hungry. He directly slapped its head, and it died on the spot.
