Ling Xiao left.
He knew that Nannan and Dahuang were watching him from behind, so he didn't dare look back. He was afraid that if he looked back he would not have the heart to leave, so he could only harden his heart and walk towards Taichang Mountain.
The setting sun stretched his shadow very long.
"Nannan, I will come back to see you!"
Ling Xiao looked at the lifelike jade pendant in his hand and muttered to himself.
The jade pendant is flawless white and is carved with an old man with white hair and beard. He looks like an immortal, otherworldly and mysterious, and it is obvious at first glance that he is not an ordinary item.
According to Nannan, the jade pendant was hung around her neck when she was picked up by the old woman. It should be a talisman related to her identity.
Lingxiao didn't want it at first, but Nannan insisted on giving the jade pendant to Lingxiao, hoping that it could bless Lingxiao with health, happiness and peace.
Although he had not spent a long time with Nannan, Ling Xiao could feel Nannan's attachment to him and her reluctance to leave him, and in his heart he had already regarded Nannan as his own sister.
"Could it be that because I have become a mortal, I have become sentimental?"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, then solemnly hung the jade pendant around his neck and walked towards Taichang Mountain.
He wanted to understand the secrets of this world, and find out where those peerless powerful people in the Heavenly Prison Realm had gone over billions of years, so as to find a way to leave this world. For that, he must possess powerful strength.
And Taiyi Sect is Ling Xiao’s target.
Mount Taichang is extremely vast, with hundreds of peaks and an area of thousands of miles in radius. The old people in the village do not know where the Taiyi Sect is. They only know that Taiyi Sect is an extremely powerful martial arts sect located deep in Mount Taichang.
It is not an easy task for Ling Xiao to find the location of Taichang Mountain.
There are still some mortals going to the outskirts of Taichang Mountain to chop wood and hunt, but the depths of Taichang Mountain are sparsely populated and few people would set foot there.
This is an extremely ancient forest. The ground is covered with fallen leaves. There are all kinds of animals in the mountains and forests, including powerful beasts such as lions, tigers, and jackals.
While searching for the Taiyi Sect, Ling Xiao practiced boxing and tempered his body. Sometimes he would also fight with wild beasts such as jackals and wild boars to hone his fighting ability.
Ling Xiao hasn't felt this kind of flesh-and-blood punching for a long time, but this feeling is so real that he is extremely fascinated by it. As his actual combat experience increases, his combat effectiveness also begins to improve by leaps and bounds.
Ling Xiao had eaten all the dry food he brought with him, and even the clothes that Nannan had prepared for him were all torn to pieces.
Ling Xiao simply wore animal skins as clothes, ate wild fruits and beasts in the mountains, and drank water from clear springs in the mountains, living a life like a savage.
In this way, a month passed, and Ling Xiao had explored most of Taichang Mountain.
Boom!
Under a huge waterfall that was hundreds of feet high, Ling Xiao stood on a large bluestone under the waterfall, resisting the huge waves above his head like a mountain torrent while practicing boxing.
His whole body was filled with surging energy and blood, his muscles were extremely strong and full of explosive power. Every punch he threw was unpredictable and emitted the sound of dragon roars and tiger howls. He was like the king of the mountains, causing the surrounding mountains and forests to shake.
After practicing for this period of time, Ling Xiao could feel that his body had become extremely strong. Now he could tear tigers and leopards apart with his bare hands and kill jackals with his fists. His body had been tempered to the extreme, as if it was on the verge of some kind of breakthrough.
With Ling Xiao's knowledge and martial arts experience, he had several ways to break through, but he was still unfamiliar with this world, so he did not practice deliberately, but followed the natural way of this world.
Before coming into contact with the cultivation methods of this world, Ling Xiao had no intention of breaking through.
"If my guess is correct, Taiyi Sect should be on top of that mountain!"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he muttered to himself while staring at a mountain towering into the clouds in the distance.
That mountain looked like a divine sword piercing the sky. It was not the highest mountain in the Taichang Mountains, nor was it the largest mountain. However, through Ling Xiao's observation over the past month, that mountain was the core of the dragon vein of the Taichang Mountains. It was blessed by heaven and earth with beautiful scenery.
If Taiyi Sect really has something to do with Taiyi, Taiyi should also choose that mountain as its sect.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to investigate, but had been tempering his body in Taichang Mountain. Finally, today, his body was tempered perfectly and reached its peak, and he decided to go to Taiyi Sect.
However, Ling Xiao has not yet decided how to enter Taiyi Gate.
He didn't think that with his current combat power, he could force his way into the Taiyi Sect. Even if there was no energy from heaven and earth in this world, as long as there were warriors, there must be masters and strong men.
During this month, Ling Xiao also gained a lot in the Taichang Mountains. He found many precious medicines. Although those medicines could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they were nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon and absorbed the energy of the dragon veins of the earth. They were all supreme medicines and played an extremely important role in refining qi and blood and strengthening the body.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, Ling Xiao noticed several sounds of breaking through the air and rushing towards the waterfall at a high speed.
Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he stopped practicing. Instead, he hid his body behind a large bluestone in the waterfall and observed the situation outside through the water curtain.
There were three young people, two men and one woman, all holding swords. However, they were not in a good condition at the moment. Their faces were extremely pale, their bodies were stained with blood, and they looked panic-stricken.
"Run! My dear junior sister, I want to see where you can escape to!"
A sneer was heard, and two figures chased after them from outside the valley.
A young man holding a folding fan, looking elegant and distinguished, and a mysterious strong man wearing black clothes, covering his mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
It was obvious that these two men were here to hunt down the two men and one woman.
However, the valley where the waterfall was located was gourd-shaped, with steep cliffs on all sides. There was no way out at all. The two men and one woman were instantly trapped in a desperate situation.
"Gao Sheng, I never thought that you would defect to the Demonic Cult! My father worked so hard to train you, but he turned out to be an ungrateful person!"
Among the two men and one woman, the woman was obviously the leader. She was wearing a red dress, had a pretty face, skin whiter than snow, and a pair of big eyes filled with anger.
"My dear Junior Sister! Master is really good to me, but I have been a disciple of the Holy Church since the beginning, so I can only live up to Master's kindness! Junior Sister, as long as you hand over the Taiyi Sutra, I will spare your life, how about it?"
Gao Sheng sighed softly and smiled slightly.
