Main Body :

This was a peaceful place where few disciples usually came to practice. The emerald bamboo forest was dotted with small wooden houses for the ordinary servants to live in. The gentle breeze swayed the whole bamboo forest, causing the rustling sound of the verdant bamboo leaves.

A refreshing and clean air flowed over. Anna's white dress fluttered in the wind, making her look elegant and otherworldly. Her black and thick hair, delicate skin, and watery eyes gazed at David as she said, "You are just a mortal, and the Source has no use for you."

"Although I'm just a mortal, I know the value of this thing. As immortal cultivators, you all attach great importance to it. How can you say it's useless to me?" David held the Source in his hand and laughed, "It contains a lot of life essence, and I think for a mortal like me, it should enhance longevity, right?"

"A mortal like you using the Source to prolong life is indeed a waste," a few young men and women standing nearby looked displeased.

"If you want to increase your lifespan and strengthen your body, there are many other ways to do it. You can exchange this Source for some hundred-herbs potion to consume." Anna suggested.

"Yes, if you are willing to give up this piece of Source, we will make you satisfied." These young men and women all said the same thing, lured by the temptation of the Source, and they were eager to trade it.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to exchange it. I'm not interested in what you just said." David refused flatly and decisively. He could not hand over the Source, no matter what.

These young men and women all changed their faces. The meaning of the Source was incredibly pivotal to them. It was a waste when it was under control of a mortal. They all wanted to take it for themselves.

Anna stood quietly there, her white dress fluttering, and her beautiful hair swaying in the wind. She said, "You don't know what it means for a mortal to possess the Source. It's not about wealth. It will only bring disasters to you. You're just an ordinary person and can't protect it at all."

"Do you still want to rob me?" David put away the Source and looked at the few people in front of him. Except for Anna's indifferent expression, the other young men and women all looked at him in an unfriendly manner, staring at him intently.

"Just now, even the second most powerful expert in the Purple Yang Immortal Sect didn't exert any pressure. Do you still want to force me?" Anna's words were calm and unruffled. She continued, "It's no longer a secret that you have a piece of Source. Even if you can escape unharmed for a while, your future will be uncertain."

"So, are you saying that I can only choose to exchange it?" David nodded and said, "If you trade it with the immortal cultivators, you will enjoy endless benefits and live a wealthy life without having to struggle. You will have fame and fortune for all your life."

"I'm not sure your abilities are so high that you can refine the life essence contained in the Source." Seeing that David's attitude seemed to have softened, the few people by his side spoke in unison.

"Although we cannot refine it directly, we can hand it over to our elders in the sect," they continued.

"The expert just now has a deep understanding of the principles of nature. He is the second strongest in our Purple Sun Cave Heaven and had once helped Senior Sister Anna restore her youth. If Senior Sister Anna can offer this source offering to him today, she will surely be more appreciated. We can also get closer to that senior and listen to his teachings." David smiled but said nothing, looking at Anna.

"Yes, I do want to give this source offering to that senior." Anna looked calm, tucking her hair behind her ear, and gazed at David. "I won't owe you anything, and you will be satisfied."

David shook his head and smiled blandly. "Just like before."

David did not refute him. She took a few steps forward and stared at David. "I know you are confident, capable, and unwilling to be an ordinary person. But that is the reality. Your physical constitution cannot cultivate, and you can only be an ordinary person. I hope you can be at peace with being an ordinary person, do not think too much and be sober.Let go of those unrealistic fantasies. The source offering has no use to you. Accept reality and being an ordinary person is also a kind of happiness."

"It seems that we do not really know each other." David did not say more.

"People always strive for upward progress, but immortals and mortals are two different worlds." Anna paused slightly and said, "Immortals and mortals are two different worlds."

"Immortals and mortals are two different worlds." David smiled and casually spoke.

"Who knows what the future holds? Maybe I will appear on your path one day, and then do not get surpassed by this ordinary person."

The young disciples of Purple Sun Cave Heaven beside them showed some surprised expressions, feeling that their conversation was unusual, not as simple as neighboring neighbors. Especially David, who did not seem like an 11 or 12-year-old child.

"However, I will not give up this source offering. Please leave."David made a gesture of asking them to leave and directly sent them away.

"You..." The faces of the young disciples of Purple Sun Cave Heaven did not look good. Anna turned to leave and looked back at David before saying, "Accept reality and be an ordinary person soon."

Suddenly, chaos erupted outside the Purple Sun Cave Heaven, with shouts and cries followed by Red Rays cutting through the sky. Distant, cultivators had started a great battle.

"Let's go and take a look." Several young disciples from the Bamboo Grove quickly rushed out.

David's heart jumped when he heard that someone was bypassing the mountain gate. He instantly thought of the Knight from the Jiang family and decided to hide among the crowd to see what was happening and prepare early.

At this moment, Purple Sun Cave Heaven was in disarray, and many cultivators ran towards the mountain gate. When David arrived, several people had already been heavily injured and were being carried away.

"Who is so daring to sneak into the Purple Sun Cave Heaven and even fight back when caught?"

"It's a powerful knight, riding on a terrifying exotic beast, defeating five of our Purple Sun Cave Heaven's top experts and almost breaking through. Now he has been stopped by our senior uncle."

Listening to the discussions of others, David could almost confirm that the knight from the Jiang family had arrived here. "What a persistent fellow," he frowned.

At that moment, cheers came from ahead, and someone shouted, "Senior uncle is really powerful, he captured the terrifying knight." A middle-aged man in his thirties strode through the void and walked back calmly. He was Purple Sun Cave Heaven's second strongest expert, and David had seen him not long ago. He brought back a savage beast and an unconscious knight and threw them heavily on the ground, saying, "Take him into the prison first."

"It's time to leave. Purple Sun Cave Heaven has done me a big favor, and it's best to keep this hot bomb knight for a few more days," David imagined that when the people of the Purple Sun Cave Heaven found out the knight's identity, they would definitely regret it.

David walked out of Purple Sun Cave Heaven's mountain gate and ran quickly towards the mountains outside. But at this moment, several people noticed his departure, looked at each other, and chased after him.

"If I can survive this calamity, I'll find a quiet place to practice," David had encountered a series of events and urgently hoped to become stronger. He longed for unparalleled power. When he ran out for dozens of miles, he gradually felt that something was wrong. Someone was following him, and their speed was not slower than his. They were about to catch up.

His heart sank. In a flash, he rushed into a chaotic stone forest, hid behind a huge rock, and looked back.

"It's him." The person who came was in his mid-twenties, one of Anna's senior brothers. He had recently had his eye on David's source. He was fast and had entered the stone forest in the blink of an eye.

"I see you. Come out. Leave the source, and I'll give you a way out."

"Sure enough, he wants to steal my source." David didn't move behind the boulder. This person was not weak; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with him.

"Even if he gets the source, he definitely won't spare me. Since that's the case, I might as well take the initiative." David made a decision.

"If you don't come out now, after I find you, don't blame me for not giving you a way out."

This person was very cautious. He felt that David's speed was too fast, almost shaking him off. As a mortal, this was somewhat abnormal.

When this person turned to the vicinity of the boulder, a golden light suddenly rose and cut through the void, and with a "whoosh," it swept past him.

"Spurt!" Blood splattered, and a head rolled down. The headless body's blood spurted up, nearly two meters high, and then crashed to the ground with a "thump."

David retrieved the golden book, and just as he was about to leave, several shadows appeared behind him, quickly approaching. He hastily glanced back before flying away. He didn't know if Anna was among them. The vegetation in the mountains was lush, making it difficult to see clearly.

"I hope you're not behind me." David flew away without looking back.

    David ran quickly, leaping over mountains and crossing valleys, agile like a spirit ape and fast like a cheetah, retreating through the mountains with lightning speed. However, he couldn't completely shake off the people behind him. Several figures were still closely following him, indicating that their cultivation level was not weak and they were probably mid-stage cultivators in the Sea of Bittering.Suddenly, David's expression changed. Ahead of him was a large canyon, and two figures appeared to block his path. Not only were there pursuers behind him, but also two people who had flanked him ahead of time.At this moment, it was too late to turn around and retreat. David stopped and said, "Hey, we were just chatting together not long ago. Why are you blocking my path now?"The two people blocking the entrance of the canyon were a man and a woman, both in their mid-twenties. The woman had a cold smile on her lips and said, "You were fine in Purple Sun Cave Heaven. Why did you escape

    Han Elder remained calm and collected, pouring himself a cup of tea and lifting the white hair covering his face to take a sip. At that moment, David felt a chill run down his spine. Han Elder's fingers were as dry as iron bars, with only a layer of old skin covering the bones. And his jaw, now exposed, was wrinkled and devoid of any luster, like a crumpled piece of paper. His lips were thin and black, lacking any blood or vitality, and even his tongue seemed shrunken."Come with me," Han Elder said calmly, putting down his tea cup. David was terrified, knowing that the gap in power between him and a higher-level cultivator was too vast."Aren't you afraid of divine punishment for using living people as medicine? Even your fellow cultivators might not accept it," David said, thinking of ways out. If he were caught by Han Elder, it would be more terrifying than death."I'm prepared. No one will know about any of this," Han Elder said, like a dead tree trunk sitting across the table. Th

"There is no need to waste your time trying to delay, no one will come to save you. Just prepare to be the main ingredient for the refinement," he added. "Aren't you afraid that the knight will appear again?" David remained calm and collected, and said, "Perhaps you don't even know his identity." Han Elder remained calm, and asked, "What is his identity?" "He comes from the ancient and powerful family, the Jiang family," David said with a sigh, as if he was stating a fact. "You have caused great trouble for the Lingxu Cave. Maybe you still don't know my true identity. I have some relationship with the Jiang family. The knight came to find me," Dav

Elder Han felt he was favored by heaven and was extremely excited. He trembled as he reached out his right hand and lifted the lid of the cauldron, expecting a priceless alchemy pill to appear. Indeed, dazzling golden light shone, blindingly bright, creating a rainbow of colors. Elder Han thought the alchemy pill was divine and had jumped out of the cauldron, but suddenly his mind was in turmoil as if he had fallen directly from heaven to hell. He realized that it was not an alchemy pill but a shining piece of god iron that was swiftly flying toward his neck, and a handsome young man was seated inside the bronze cauldron, unscathed and not made into an alchemy pill, staring at him intently. "Oh no!" Elder Han broke out in cold sweat, cried out in fear, and tried to fly away, but it was alre

    After everything was settled with Elder Han, David calmed down and sat on the stone chair,contemplating his next move. The knights of the Jiang family were still chasing after him, and without strong power, he could not fight against them. It was not advisable to reveal himself now, and the best option was to hide and improve his cultivation. Without a doubt, this cave built on the mountain was an excellent hiding place, as numerous inscriptions adorned the rocks, which were impossible for outsiders to perceive."Well then, I'll practice here." After making the decision, David began to clean the stone room. He first placed Elder Han's body in the cauldron and sealed it. "You devoted your life to alchemy, and now you can rest in your own cave with the cauldron as your coffin."The cave was incredibly spacious, like a maze, so David carefully placed some marks to find his way back and moved the cauldron to the deepest part of the mountain, sealing it in a stone cave. He then returned to

With a broad vision and far-reaching sight, it was an unprecedented feeling to rush to the sky with his own strength, overlooking the world where he had once lived, filled with shock. Magnificent mountains and rivers, vast earth, everything was in his eyes and made his heart comfortable, his ambitions soaring to the sky. All things in heaven and earth, every blade of grass and every tree, were captured in his heart, making him involuntarily feel a prideful and heroic spirit to swallow mountains and rivers."This is the realm of the Spring of Life. I feel the power." Standing in the sky, his flesh was pure and crystal clear, shimmering with a gleam like a beautiful piece of artwork, giving him a feeling of rebirth. At this moment, he finally

At this moment, just by looking at it, David's golden fists gave people a strong feeling, as if they were indestructible and the mother air of all things melted into it."Xuanhuang is the mother air born of the interaction between heaven and earth, it is a holy object for refining tools, how did it attach to your fists? How did you do it?" Ji Ziyue's big eyes glimmered with a strange light.David released his golden fist, and the Xuanhuang mother air disappeared, flowing back into the bitter sea and swirling around the green bronze block. He was also surprised and afraid of turning into powder. This kind of mother air was too heavy for him to bear, and just one strand was enough to crush a mountain.Earlier, when a strand appeared on each fist, it had made him feel some

Ji Zi Yue's eyes were bright, and her mouth curled up as she looked on.The shining blood character gave David an unusual feeling, so he focused his mind and tasted carefully, hoping to discover something.

The third white bone sparked the purple-clad girl's screams. She was very excited because even though the bloodstains on it were vague, the name of the dead person, Yang Yizhen, was written clearly.”Oh,My God !"she exclaimed, her small red mouth opened wide, her face full of shock, "Yang Yizhen of the Tianchuan Holy Land, that's an extraordinary figure recorded in the ancient history of Donghuang. 15,000 years ago, he was unparalleled in the Donghuang area and had few rivals. He died here." At the mention of this, David was also very surprised. The Tianchuan Holy Land no longer existed, leaving only the Madman.

The bottom of the lake was dark and gloomy, and the only light came from the glow of David's body, like a beacon in the water. The huge copper palace, covered in green rust and comparable to a city, ahead of them made him uneasy, and a very special fluctuation came over him. David retreated with the purple-clothed girl, but undercurrents surged and seven or eight wax corpses floated up from the ruins behind them, appearing eerie and strange."Faster," the purple-clothed girl pleaded tearfully and pitifully, her face turning pale.David was not a reckless person and would not take any risks in this unknown situation. He broke through the water and attempted to leave the bottom of the lake. However, a terrifying aura that made their hearts race and caused a huge shadow that seemed to cover everything, floated down from the surface above them. David

The seven old men across from them were no weaker than them at all, and if the battle continued, there would be no suspense."We don't need to kill them. Just take some of their belongings," the purple-clad young girl said with a smile, her hair fluttering and her purple clothes swaying, making her look like a fairy.The several old women of the Demon race sighed inwardly. They knew that there was no chance of winning, and if they continued to fight, there would only be death, and nothing would change. All four of them had the means of dying with their enemies, and they were extremely tough. They burned their life forces and finally broke out, but they left David behind.The seven old

Even the powerful spirit treasures were powerless against the overwhelming brightness. The sea was filled with corpses as the beings caught in battle fell from the sky, unable to withstand the deadly glimmer. Alice stood poised to meet the challenge. Her form was covered by the brightest light, surrounded by a white haze that shielded her from harm. The power emanating from the moon was her greatest adversary, but the gentle aura emanating from her form was able to counter it. A myriad of golden lotuses burst forth from the sea behind Alice. They floated in suspension, their leaves covered in dew drops, exuding vibrant life within the luminous glow that enveloped her. The sight evoked a feeling of timeless grandeur, with

The sea surged, and the rising and falling tides created an atmosphere of serenity and peace, with the shimmering moon adding to the sense of clarity. The display of the ocean and the moon stirred up amazement amongst everyone present, as the manifestation of this ability was rare and unparalleled in the world today. Rumoured to possess mysterious and formidable power, such phenotypes were fundamentally different from the strength cultivated through normal practices, and beyond estimation. The ocean rising to the moon was legendary and well-known in the ancient times, with many powerful people having mastered this phenotype, which had great fame in the Eastern Wildlands.This was the first time that David had seen such a unique phenomenon and he couldn't help but compare it to his own golden sea of bitterness.

After all, they had only met a few times, and everything was due to the Holy Heart of the Demon Lord. When the group left, David landed on the ground. In the peach blossom valley, ancient peach trees that had lived for tens of thousands of years coiled and stretched like dragons. The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the gentle breeze blew, causing the petals to dance and flutter like pink smoke. David began to ponder where he should go next. The Demon Race wouldn't let him leave since the Holy Heart of the Demon Lord was nurturing in his life spring. However, he couldn't cultivate the Demon Race's cultivation methods and techniques as they were not suitable for humans. Hence, he needed to find another way out. This was a group of demonic spirits that surpassed the Beyond Heavens
