Once they had dug out the burly man's corpse, although it had been buried for several days and gave off a foul stench, both men’s eyes lit up, just like Zhang Xiaohua’s expression when he first laid eyes on a Night-Luminescent Pearl. Bai Yonggui glanced at Chai Feng, then smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohua: “Brother Ren, my senior brother and I will tidy up our late brother’s remains. Why don’t you go into the cave and straighten things up? Once you’re done, we’ll return to the boat and see…-

Just as this seemingly ordinary youth ran up to them, the two men exchanged a glance. A pale-faced man, slender and around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, cupped his hands and asked: “Excuse me, brother—can you understand what we’re saying?” Bang! Zhang Xiaohua, who had just approached full of hope, nearly stumbled to the ground. What kind of question is that? Why wouldn’t I understand what you're saying? But when Zhang Xiaohua actually opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly realized what…

This was a piece of sheepskin bearing a painting of half a mountain. Just by looking at the incomplete image and the torn, ragged edges on two adjacent sides of the sheepskin, one could tell it was merely a part of a whole. Zhang Xiaohua first studied the drawn image carefully but failed to see anything peculiar. Then he flipped the entire sheepskin back and forth, examining it thoroughly, yet still found nothing unusual. "Strange, what could this be? A treasure map? A will? Or just an ink…

There’s an old saying: “Extreme joy begets sorrow.” Zhang Xiaohua was already overjoyed upon seeing so many night-luminescent pearls within the lava—it was all he could do not to flip headfirst into the molten flow. What’s more, harvesting the pearls came as easy as lifting a hand—no more effort than reaching out—and Zhang Xiaohua had strength to spare. Thus, he followed the stone wall downward, plucking as he went, each grab more fluid than the last. Who knows how much deeper he had gone,…

Carrying the longsword, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the mountain peak of the deserted island. Breathing in the salty, fishy scent of the fresh sea breeze, he couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental. No wonder so few people practiced Earth Escape techniques—digging through the ground all day like a mole, how could that compare to the freedom of soaring through the sky? He had spent less than a day beneath this deserted island, and now, just breathing the ordinary sea air felt so comforting. Let alone…

The Fire Escape Technique was indeed exquisite—Zhang Xiaohua spent a full year merely to grasp its essence, only barely reaching the foundational level that the True Person Fire Dragon had mentioned. Once again, Zhang Xiaohua arrived at a corner of the cave. He cast a spell to unravel the restriction, and as the barrier faded away, a pitch-black hole emerged before his eyes. A wave of fire-attributed Yuan Qi surged forth, ancient, desolate, and unbearably scorching. Zhang Xiaohua instinctively stepped…

In truth, there was another hidden benefit within. When Zhang Xiaohua had first arrived on the desolate island, he had come to realize the principle of "breaking before building." The Jade Blood Refines the Pill Heart drained all of his True Qi with each practice. From another perspective, this was a way to hone his control over True Qi. Every time he exhausted all of his True Qi, it would inevitably enhance the regeneration of his qi, thus strengthening his cultivation. After carefully considering the…

The two large characters that appeared in his mind were actually: Fire Escape! “Fire Escape—just as the name implies, it's an escape technique used within fire. This kind of escape art is meant for fleeing—no, wait—for travel. Earth Escape, now that makes sense. The world is filled with dirt and soil; no matter where you go, your feet are never far from the ground. Once you’ve mastered Earth Escape, you can travel anywhere. Even Water Escape is understandable. Never mind the vast and boundless…

There were six jade slips laid out atop the stone table, quietly and unremarkably resting there. If Zhang Xiaohua’s divine sense hadn’t been blocked by the restriction, preventing him from seeing them clearly, he would have truly thought these slips were no different from the one he had found in the cave last time—without any barriers at all. Zhang Xiaohua’s pupils narrowed slightly. “The last jade slip contained the art of alchemy. Though it was only the basics, I spent nearly a year just to…

So it turned out that before True Person Fire Dragon set out to sea, he did in fact harbor the intention of passing down his Dao lineage. He stored all of his cultivation techniques, spirit treasures, and other belongings within a cultivation cave, to be left for a destined person to inherit. Although this jade slip recorded the mountain range where the cave-dwelling was located, it did not mention the exact location. Not to mention the changes wrought by the passage of ten thousand years—who could say…
