gul who had returned heavily injured, "Ugul, although we haven't always gotten along, I hope you will tell us the location of the battle. Now it's not just about your family, it concerns the reputatio...The entire Shi clan seemed to have forgotten about the existence of Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian, meanwhile, cultivated within the Meteorite Cave and was not too concerned about the passage of time. Apart from a few visits by Tuo Qing Shi and Tuo Qing Ying, he learned through them that the Shi clan was facing a huge catastrophe. Outside the barren land, demons roamed everywhere, and there were also large armies of skeletons. These skeleton armies wanted to conquer the city of the Shi clan.

The Ogres and the Skull Legion were engaged in a desperate battle. While many skulls were smashed, the Ogres also suffered heavy casualties.

To this, Lu Xia Tian could only smile wryly. He wasn't afraid of the authenticity of what Yutu Qingchi said, but now even the Giant Stone Clan was surrounded by the Skull Army. Even if he wanted to rush out to find the Nascent Soul Fruit, he estimated that he would only be courting death.

Given that two major interracial wars were involved, Lu Xia Tian didn't expect to end it in a day or two. It seemed that besides this Meteorite Cave, he had no other better place to go.

Tu Qing shi and Tu Qing Ying admired Lu Xia Tian's ascetic cultivation immensely. Although the Giant Stone Clan was known for their endurance, someone like Lu Xia Tian who stayed in the Meteor Star Cave for years without leaving was a rare sight within the entire clan. The two often went out with their tribe to fight and clear out the skeletal army squads near their city. Their time spent in the Meteor Star Cave was always short, as they were already eighth-level warriors. Coming to this seventh-level Meteor Star Cave was merely a chance to visit Lu Xia Tian.

Fortunately, Lu XiaTian had a lot on his plate: refining the Demon Suppressing Tower, deducing formation techniques, researching the gray stone in his hands, and cultivating himself. He even pondered the attack methods of the Demon Suppressing Tower. Even in this remote and desolate meteor cave, he didn't feel lonely at all.

Time passed in this monotonous and simple life. Lu Xiaoteng ran heavily and steadily in the Xingmén Cave with pieces of Yejing Bamboo strapped to his legs. From time to time, Lu Xiaoteng would think deeply, then like an ape leaping up, like an eagle swooping down, he would express his understanding of these techniques through movements. After repeatedly practicing these techniques for an unknown number of times, Lu Xiaoteng discovered a strange phenomenon: no matter how he cultivated various techniques, using the Swallowing Soul Art to devour the spirits of Jiao, demon tigers, and demon bears, these three techniques became more effortless to perform. As for the ape-shaped and eagle-shaped techniques, because he hadn't consumed the corresponding monster spirits, no matter how he cultivated them, they were inferior to the previous ones. Especially after swallowing two Jiao spirits, his application of the snake-shaped technique was the most natural. From this, Lu Xiaoteng came to a direct conclusion: these techniques couldn't rely solely on simple ascetic practice; they also needed to be aided by the Swallowing Soul Art. However, this could only be tested later when he went out. In the Xingmén Cave, it was impossible at present.

As time passed, the night crystal bamboo fragments tied to Lu Xia Tian's leg were also slowly increasing. However, one thousand five hundred times the gravity had already reached his limit. Every increase was like walking on a tightrope, taking one step further. Until it increased to one thousand seven hundred times, Lu Xia Tian struggled to walk. In the process of adapting, the true energy in his dantian surged like a spring, and an astonishing aura burst from Lu Xia Tian's body, even scattering several nearby strands of gang wind. Lu Xia Tian's silver hair moved without wind, and his cold face had closed eyes slightly.

> Until several hours later, the flying silver hair obediently fell down again. Lu Xiaoteng's eyes opened slightly, and there was not much surprise on his face. In this Meteorite Cave, with the help of the powerful pressure, he constantly challenged his limits, greatly improving his physical strength. At this time, compared to when he first broke through to the seventh level of body cultivation, his strength had increased significantly. However, it was an unintended consequence that he first broke through in his mana cultivation. He had been on the Chiyan Continent for decades and spent nearly five years in the Meteorite Cave. Now, Lu Xiaoteng was a veritable cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core stage.

"Unexpectedly, it broke through like this. It seems that the few years spent in this meteor cave haven't been wasted." Lu Xia Tian smiled slightly, then let out a soft cry of surprise. At the scabbard hanging on his waist, he suddenly felt a few tingling pains, like needles pricking him. The nine-colored golden core rotating within his dantian had originally slowed down due to the slight stability of his realm. Now, it seemed to be pulled by something unknown and began to accelerate its rotation again.

Lu Xia Tian frowned, and was about to sever the connection.

"Master, no, let me absorb a little more." The sheath that had been wrapped around the earth-splitting blade transformed into the true form of the Ziye True Wu. Originally, the Ziye True Wu was only a span high, with a few sparse roots and two pale green leaves on its top. A round eye sat on the trunk. Now, between the two original leaves, another pale green bud had sprouted. As the Ziye True Wu absorbed more magic power, the bud slowly unfurled, becoming the tree's third leaf.

Thinking that Zi Ye Zhen Wu had also done him a great service, Lu Xia Tian frowned and allowed him to draw on his internal energy. However, sensing a strange change within his body, the nine-colored golden pill dimmed considerably. Lu Xia Tian's face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to cut off Zi Ye Zhen Wu's absorption of his energy, he realized that he had only just broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. If Zi Ye Zhen Wu caused him to regress to his previous state, it would be truly unjust.

However, just as Lu Xia Tian was about to make a move, Zi Ye Zhen Wu stopped running on its own. The third leaf had also completely unfolded, though it was slightly smaller than the other two. It looked much more spirited.

"Master, master, thank you for promoting me. I will repay your kindness in the future." Ziye Zhenwu could feel Lu Xiaotien's dissatisfaction and timidly said to him.

“Repayment How can I repay you” Lu Xia Tian let out a breath of relief. Luckily, he hadn't fallen back to the Golden Core mid-stage. The consumed spiritual energy could be recovered with a few breaths and some pills.

“This, I don’t know either. It seems like a kind of inexplicable ability has been added. It needs to be activated by the master. As for what specific ability it is, I’m afraid I have to wait until my third leaf grows a bit bigger.” Zi Ye Zhenwu said sheepishly.

"Didn't your previous master, Wang Tuo Gui, discover this ability of yours" Lu Xia Tian asked

"Master, you're talking about that ugly hunchback He's not my master at all! I was forced to submit to him. I wouldn't even acknowledge such a hideous master. He's not only ugly but also wickedly cruel. And that hunchback is truly talentless. Even after controlling me for hundreds of years, he hasn't improved much in strength. My master, on the other hand, subdued me in just a hundred years, and his strength has far surpassed that hunchback's. I am the noble Ziye Zhenwu. When choosing a master, I am very discerning." Ziye Zhenwu snorted coldly.
