[Gengxu, Year of the Dog, the ninth day of the first lunar month]
Today we arrived at the Nine Rivers Realm. This realm has many rivers and rich water vapor. There are many people who practice water magic. Various aquatic monsters can be seen everywhere, and the towns and cities are all built along the rivers.
There are also giant tower ships as markets, equipped with all kinds of facilities and shops, which drift along the water and can travel around the nine river basins in three years.
The war in the Ziwei Star Alliance has not affected this place. All I see is peace.
It was not long since I escaped from the battlefield, and this scene made me feel as if I were in a dream.
I'll find a place to write to everyone to let them know I'm safe, especially Anan.

[Gengxu, Year of the Dog, 20th day of the first lunar month]
After wandering for a few days, they finally chose to settle in Tianya City, the largest city in the Jiuxiao River Basin. Jiuxiao River is the end of the Nine Rivers, located at the easternmost end of the Jiuhe Realm. It is the place where independent cultivators gather, and there are no powerful forces around it.
After selling a batch of Taixuan gold in exchange for spirit stones, I rented a cave at the bottom of a river.
This cave is located at the foot of the Jiuxiao River. The riverbed is like a mountain. Magic arrays are used to open caves in various places on the riverbed. The environment is quiet and the water is rich in spiritual energy. Most importantly, it is hidden enough.
I chose a cave in the most remote location, where no one was renting it nearby.
After completely sealing off the cave with the formation plate given to me by Uncle Fuyi, I was finally able to calm down and plan what to do next.
The first thing to do is naturally to re-refine the White Dragon Spear. Now the ten thousand year old cold stalactite, Taixuan refined gold, branches of the sacred tree, and the essence and blood of the Candle Dragon are all ready.
However, this matter cannot be rushed. I still need to use Taixuan Refined Gold to refine some things, familiarize myself with the properties of Taixuan Refined Gold, and improve the success rate of refining.
In addition, I swallowed too much demonic energy and turbid air outside Songfeng City in Tianqiang Realm, which were all absorbed into my spine and have not been completely digested. I need to concentrate on practicing for a period of time to sort out the breath in my body.
The same goes for Jixiang. He ate too much and it was difficult to digest. He still looked bigger and fell into the Lotus Cave Heaven with a hard and bloated stomach. He was unwilling to vomit it out.
Speaking of which, Jixiang's stomach is really powerful. Ordinary things will be corroded when they come into contact with foul air, but Jixiang is fine, it's just difficult to digest.
I don’t know if it’s the effect of the improved version of “Heaven-Swallowing Art”, or because of the last Tai Chi Yin-Yang Thunder that strengthened my body when I was overcoming the tribulation.
Also, when it was gnawing on the Dragon Prison Nail, it also swallowed some of Ao Juan's blood. This could be caused by many factors. I'm not Yun Shang, so I can't figure it out for the time being.
While cursing, Bai Jiuyou stepped on Jixiang's stomach, using the chaotic energy to draw the turbid air out of his body.
Then... Jixiang took a really big shit, as big as a house!
As a result, the Liantai Cave was filled with stench and the environment was terrible.
After feeling refreshed, Jixiang's body shape recovered and his aura was even better than before. He returned to his rat's nest to practice in seclusion, and he should be able to improve a lot this time.
Bai Jiuyou and I separated an area in the most remote part of the Lotus Cave Heaven, temporarily placed Jixiang Shit and the black-armored bee colony there, and sealed it off with a large formation.
The black-armored bee colony also underwent changes. After being taken back by me that day, they were still affected by the turbid air and were still manic and restless. After returning to the Lotus Cave, they actually fought and devoured each other.
Originally there were two queens and the total bee colony population was well over a million, but now there is only one queen left and less than a hundred bees.
However, these hundred black-armored bees, together with the queen bee, have formed cocoons in Jixiang's huge feces, showing signs of advancement. Perhaps after they break out of the cocoons, they will become even more powerful.

[Xin Hai, Year of the Pig, March 8th]
I just entered into a state of meditation for a while, but when I woke up, more than a year had passed. I didn't feel the passage of time at all. It was just a moment to me.
As expected, the higher the level of cultivation, the less sense of time one has.
I have only digested less than 30% of the demonic energy and turbid air I swallowed, mainly because the turbid air is difficult to eliminate and it takes quite a while. If it weren't for the chaotic energy in my body, I would really have no way to deal with the turbid air.
My original immortal ganoderma bloodline couldn't purify the turbid air. I also absorbed a little bit of green lotus energy from the green jade bamboo flute, but it was too little.
In this world, everything has its own nemesis, and the Qinglian clan is the nemesis of turbid air.
To transform turbid air into chaotic air, corresponding quantities of various spiritual and demonic energies are also required, and they can only be transformed after reaching a certain balance.
I still don't know the amount and degree of this balance.
The reason I woke up from my meditation today was because my stored spiritual energy was completely used up and I was hungry.
Go out and do good!

[Xin Hai, Year of the Pig, April 16]
After a heroic mission, he returned home with three parts full.
As expected, one must eat a multitude of foods to successfully transform the chaotic energy, but the energy I consume in my current practice is far greater than what I eat.
There is not much chaotic energy left in the Lotus Cave Heaven. I estimate that it is only enough for me to cultivate to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Several of the demons with bounties on their heads ran too far away and might no longer be in the Jiuhe Realm, so I couldn't accomplish the task for the time being. There were also a few who seemed to be seeking revenge, so I didn't get involved.
I, Wangshu Zhenjun, am an upright Yuanying Zhenjun. Next time, I will change into the identity of Chenzhou Sanren and go to investigate.
So hungry!
I drew a picture of the man I saw in the dream of Taixuan Monument last time, and asked around at the Star Alliance headquarters in Tianya City, but to no avail.
This guy better be dead, otherwise if I catch him, I won’t be able to kill him!
I have studied the Taixuan Stele carefully, and it is indeed a fake. The materials used for the stele are of the wrong year, and most of the runes used in the formations on it are new runes, not ancient runes.
The Floating Life Fantasy Array inside is very complicated, with a total of more than seventy layers. The skills and abilities of the person who set up the array are almost as good as those of Uncle Master Fu Yi.
I feel like there is something in the center of the formation, which is also the core supporting the entire dream. I can only find it after I dismantle the entire formation layer by layer.
I'm still very hungry and want to eat someone.
Forget it, I'd better go back and eat some Taixuan gold. I've dug up a lot anyway.
After eating, he continued to use Taixuan refined gold to refine armor for Jixiang and the rats, and also used Taixuan refined gold to transform the dragon armor puppet soldiers.

[Xin Hai, Year of the Pig, May 17]
I tried it today, and I actually saw Anan in my dream.
This time there were no external enemies, so I sat down and had a good chat with her. It was very difficult for her to challenge sword cultivators from all sides in the Yaoguang Realm. She also offended many people and was often hunted down, but she did not feel it was hard.
She told me that her swordsmanship was becoming purer and purer, and she really liked this kind of life where she had to lick blood on the tip of a sword every day. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't draw her sword for a day.
Anan also told me that the Zhenwu Immortal Sect sent people to the Ziwei Star Alliance, and Xie Jingshan was among them. She had seen Xie Jingshan in a dream a few days ago, and he was very different from before.
He talks less and is more mature and calm.
The war situation in Ziwei Star Alliance is getting tense. The human cultivators want to retake the lost Tianqiang Realm, but the demons are hiding and the human race is in a passive position.
We pursue different paths and have begun to walk different roads. Anan and I can only pray that Xie Jingshan is safe and sound.
After waking up from the dream, I felt depressed and went out to do justice!

[Ren Zi, Year of the Rat, August 3rd]
After more than a year of seclusion, I woke up from hunger!
I have almost finished eating up all the Taixuan Gold, and my cultivation has improved rapidly.
Nowadays, life span is long, so we should not rush into advancement, but should proceed step by step.
The main reason is that my soul strength really can't keep up. The more I practice, the more exhausted I feel. Next, I can only stop practicing for a while and find a way to solve this problem.
Only the last eleven layers of the magic array in the Taixuan Stele remain, Jixiang is still in seclusion, the black-armored bee colony has not yet emerged from its cocoon, and Bai Jiuyou is wholeheartedly raising the little Leihu Lieque, who is about to form a pill and transcend the tribulation.
I’m so hungry, I’m going out to do some good first.

[Ren Zi, Year of the Rat, October 11]
I can't stay in Tianya City anymore. It's too peaceful and I can't even find a few villains.
The plan of chivalrous deeds has been stranded!
I'm ready and can start refining the White Dragon Spear at any time.
But before that, he had to form a pill for the guardian of little Leihu Lieque.
It's time to leave this crappy place, Tianya City!
I heard that there are eight major families in the Baxian River basin upstream of the Jiuxiao River, and the relationships between them are very complicated and unstable.
Among them is the Zhuge family who are good at puppetry, you can visit them.
I hope to find a way to transform the core mechanism of the puppet clone!
