He achieved a breakthrough to the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar broke its shell and emerged, which was certainly a double blessing for Xu Nian.
Now, the avatar’s soul of Xu Nian had completely absorbed the soul fragments of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
He possessed all the Inheritance Memories of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
A newly born Undying Devouring Sky Beast was already at the Saint Realm, innately qualified to perceive the universe.
Moreover, the attribute of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast’s cultivation was different from the ordinary Seven Attributes.
It was one of the two special attributes: the spatial attribute.
The so-called two special attributes refer to time and space.
Generally, humans do not possess these two attributes.
Therefore, these attributes are particularly precious and extremely powerful.
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast had only two ways of cultivation.
The Undying Devouring Sky Technique and the Space Absolute Killing Secret Manual.
The former was about devouring all the forces of heaven and earth.
The latter was about comprehending the profound argumentation of universal space.
Of course, as the Undying Devouring Sky Beast continued devouring,
its physical body would also greatly improve.
After clarifying this information, Xu Nian’s heart was filled with joy.
This made him look forward even more to the growth of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian’s mind moved.
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast transformed into an Immortal Profound Pearl and entered Xu Nian’s Dantian.
The avatar was created relying on the Immortal Profound Pearl.
Thus, Xu Nian could naturally collect it through the Immortal Profound Pearl, carrying it with him.
This was also the special feature of the Immortal Profound Pearl.
Having stored the Undying Devouring Sky Beast in his Dantian,
Xu Nian looked up at the God King Tripod and discovered that the Power of Taiyin in the tripod had been completely devoured.
"No wonder it broke the shell prematurely. The fist-sized Power of Taiyin was devoured," Xu Nian said dejectedly.
Without the Power of Taiyin, the power of the God King Tripod was almost halved.
He was already a big eater himself.
Now, he was raising another with an even bigger appetite.
The already scarce cultivation resources were suddenly even more strained.
With no choice, Xu Nian had to leave the space of the God King Tripod.
As for the Power of Taiyin inside the God King Tripod, it would have to be slowly replenished later.
As he stepped out of the God King Tripod, Xu Nian saw Leng Yanran approaching from a distance.
All this time, Xu Nian had instructed Leng Yanran to have people investigate the whereabouts of the Desolate Hall members.
Now that Leng Yanran approached, she must have news.
"Did you find them?" asked Xu Nian.
"Yes, they were found. They are in Big Bull Town nearby, seemingly plotting something," Leng Yanran answered.
"Big Bull Town?"
Xu Nian muttered this name.
He had long suspected that these Desolate Hall People’s arrival in East Field County was not solely for him.
Now it seemed he was absolutely right.
Otherwise, with Zhou Tian and Dark Ancestor having been dead for so long, it would not be possible for the Desolate Hall to exhibit no activity.
They must not have come after him because there was something important they needed to do.
"Do you want to go and find them?" Leng Yanran asked somewhat worriedly.
"They dared to come after you. We must take revenge, but before that, I need to understand their purpose," Xu Nian nodded and said.
Leng Yanran moved her lips.
It seemed she wanted to say something.
Still, she ultimately swallowed the words.
She did not want Xu Nian to take risks for her.
Moreover, she really did not have much time left.
She did not dare to hope that she could truly escape the shackles of fate.
At that moment, she simply wanted to stay with him and chat; that was enough for her.
During this time, she had thought things through very clearly.
She had truly fallen for the young man before her.
She could disregard societal views and abandon everything to be with him.
However, her destiny did not allow her room to make her own decisions.
She did not want to be a burden on Xu Nian and put him in danger again.
Therefore, she no longer wished for Xu Nian to go to the Imperial Capital.
On the contrary, she hoped that Xu Nian would stay as far away from the Imperial Capital as possible.
Xu Nian did not notice the change in Leng Yanran’s expression.
As for the two-year promise, he had not forgotten it at all.
What he needed to do now was to gather more resources before fulfilling the promise.
Only then could he contend with the enemies that he would have to face.
Therefore, he had to understand the movements of the Desolate Hall.
He always felt that going to Big Bull Town would bring unexpected gains.
"I already released its contract; you can claim it directly. Keep it with you–it can protect you," Xu Nian handed the Purple King Vine to Leng Yanran.
Leng Yanran was stunned.
Xu Nian was actually giving her the Purple King Vine?
It was an incredibly valuable plant-type Demon Beast.
Although its Cultivation Realm was not high, it could have unexpected effects in battle.
Even in the future, if the Purple King Vine broke through to the Saint Realm,
It would certainly become a tremendous force.
"No... I don’t want it!" Leng Yanran quickly refused.
However, Xu Nian would not allow Leng Yanran to refuse. He directly grabbed her hand and placed the main body of the Purple King Vine in her hand.
"Just accept it. With me here, it won’t resist. Only when you’re safe will I feel at ease," Xu Nian said.
By now, the Purple King Vine was not of much use to him.
It was better to leave it with Leng Yanran to assist her.
"Buzz!"
A Soul Mark shot out from the Purple King Vine, directly flying into Leng Yanran’s forehead.
The Purple King Vine willingly recognized a new master!
Seeing this, Xu Nian finally released Leng Yanran’s hand.
Leng Yanran felt the soul fluctuation of the Purple King Vine and directly made a connection with it for Artifact Refining.
Then, the Purple King Vine merged into her wrist,
Leaving a purple vine mark on her wrist.
Leng Yanran looked at the purple vine on her hand.
Her heart was filled with waves of emotions.
Her eyes even moistened again.
Seeing Leng Yanran’s emotional expression, Xu Nian’s heart was stirred once again.
He didn’t know why her expression
Made him have the impulse to hold her in his arms.
However, Xu Nian did not do so.
"I’m going to Big Bull Town and will be back soon. When I return, we’ll go to the Imperial Capital together," Xu Nian said, turning around and speaking to Leng Yanran with his back facing her.
"Okay! I’ll wait for you!" Leng Yanran spoke, but tears streamed down her cheeks.
Hearing her words, Xu Nian transformed into a beam of light and headed towards the horizon.
Leng Yanran took a couple of steps forward, her face filled with reluctance, but still she didn’t call out to stop Xu Nian.
What she didn’t tell Xu Nian was that her family had already sent someone to fetch her.
This meeting might be their last.
"Since you have already met, let’s depart. But let me warn you, it’s best you forget him; otherwise, you will only bring him harm. You should know the challenges you will face if you choose to be with him," an old woman appeared behind Leng Yanran.
The old woman had a face full of wrinkles, but her eyes were bright and lively.
Her tone carried a deep threat.
Hearing the voice from behind, Leng Yanran’s face returned to its usual icy demeanor.
"You don’t need to remind me, I know what to do," Leng Yanran said coldly.
She then looked once again in the direction Xu Nian had disappeared, her gaze complex yet resolute.
