After Yang Li left the sect, he immediately used his movement technique. Although his speed was extremely fast, the consumption of spirit energy was also extremely large.

In just two hours, Yang Li had almost used up all of his spiritual energy. However, he still had some distance to travel to the Dense Fog Forest.

Yang Li stopped his movement and walked slowly, recovering his spirit energy while thinking about the mission.

Actually, he had already completed the task of the Billowing Fire Serpent. That was because he already had the Demon Core of the Billowing Fire Serpent, and it was a Demon Core of the late second level.

If it was a land dragon bear, he needed to search for it. As for the Fire Mist Flower and the Fog Concealing Grass, that could only depend on luck.

There were three days left before he could enter the beast skin. He decided to enter the beast skin first and think about it after he broke through.

As he thought of this, Yang Li made his decision. The Misty Cloud Forest was also not far away.

Seeing the entrance to the Dense Fog Forest, Yang Li couldn't help but recall how Mo Luo and the rest had attacked him.

He had paid attention to a few people after he had returned to the sect, but they had never left the sect, so his thought of killing them had failed.

After all, killing Mo Luo and the rest in the sect, coupled with the fact of Wan Hao being there, he definitely wouldn't be able to survive.

Shaking his head, Yang Li did not think anymore about it and directly entered the forest.

His plan was to go to the same cave as before. He always felt that there was something hidden in that cave, but he didn't know what it was.

And in that place, the recovery speed of spiritual energy was much faster than outside the cave.

Yang Li followed his memory and walked in the direction of the cave. Not long after, he saw the cave.

Just like when he left, the entrance of the cave was still covered by gravel. Weeds had already grown on both sides of the cave, and if he did not take care of this, this place would definitely become one with the mountain in a few months, making it difficult to find.

Yang Li blasted a path into the cave. Two golden fruit trees were still as green as ever, and the newborn fruit had a green aura.

As for the other things, they remained the same. After thinking for a while, Yang Li walked towards the praying mat in the middle and used his spiritual energy to clear the dust. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Training passed without a trace of time. In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

One day, Yang Li was cultivating when he suddenly felt that the beast skin was ready to be used. He stopped cultivating without hesitation and took out the beast skin. The feeling in his mind told him that he needed to use spirit energy to enter.

Yang Li slowly infused his own Spiritual Qi into the bag. Even when he infused half of it into the bag, there was no reaction. He frowned as the amount of Spiritual Energy required was beyond his expectations.

Just as Yang Li's entire body was about to run out of spirit energy, the hide gave off a silver light and he disappeared from within the cave. However, at the top of the cave, a strange light flashed.

Yang Li once again stepped into the Ancient Secret Grounds. A dense amount of Spiritual Energy covered it, and the Ancient Secret Grounds' scenery still remained the same. Moreover, the location where he appeared was exactly the same as the last time.

Yang Li didn't think too much and sat down cross-legged to cultivate. Suddenly, he thought of the crouching Phoenix Spear. Perhaps the spirit energy here could help him cultivate it, so he took out the crouching Phoenix Spear and placed it across his knees.

After that, he started his own cultivation because this place only had a short duration of two hours. If he didn't hurry up and cultivate, it would be too much of a waste.

At the same time, the Flame God Incantation started to circulate within his body. Its speed was countless times faster than when he was in the outside world. A dense amount of Spiritual Energy rushed toward his body.

Just like last time, there was a voice that was muttering in his mind. The circulation path of the Flame God Incantation had slightly changed, but Yang Li's realm continued to rise.

Early stage of the sixth level of Qi Accumulation!

Middle stage of the sixth level of Qi Accumulation!

"..."

Late stage of the seventh level of Qi Accumulation!

In just two hours, Yang Li's Spiritual Energy had broken through two levels and reached the late stage of the seventh level of Qi Accumulation. The whirlpool within his body had also become extremely large, to the point where strands of Spiritual Energy entered his blood.

A repulsive force pressed down on him like usual. Yang Li knew that it was time for him to leave again. He opened his eyes and put away the crouching Phoenix Spear, taking one last glance at the world.

The ten rounds of the great sun was eternally burning the entire earth, and even the distant forests were still alive with the roars of birds and beasts.

Suddenly, Yang Li's eyes widened as he saw a figure on a distant mountaintop!

That figure was clearly a person!

Yang Li had always been curious about this mysterious space, but this time he actually saw a person. How could he not be shocked?

Just as he was about to rush towards the mountain top, a powerful force pushed him out of the space. Immediately, Yang Li returned to the cave.

Yang Li was also extremely confused, and muttered: "Why would there be people? Had he been discovered? Or perhaps there is something hidden in that place that I do not know about? "

It had to be said that Yang Li's discovery had greatly surprised him. He was certain that he hadn't made a mistake. That was definitely a person!

After pondering for a while, Yang Li could only calm down and mutter, "Forget it. Next time, when I go to the secret location, I'll search around and see if I can find that person."

After that, Yang Li sat down and adjusted his Qi to stabilize his cultivation.

After all, only after adapting to his cultivation base would he be able to unleash a stronger battle prowess.

On the other side, within the secret realm, a person was also curious.

"Strange, am I seeing things? Why did a person appear on the Sacred Mountain? " Qi Feng rubbed his eyes and looked to the top of the mountain again, but still couldn't find anything.

He clearly saw someone appear on top of the Holy Mountain just now. It must be known that the Holy Peak could be under the watch of an elder, so ordinary people were absolutely unable to go up.

"Perhaps there's something wrong with my eyes. I should go retrieve the divine spring water first. The Grand Elder is still waiting for it to save him." Qi Feng turned around and continued to walk up the mountainside.

"..."

The reason Qi Feng didn't see Yang Li was naturally because he had already returned to the cave.

In less than an hour, Yang Li's cultivation had completely stabilized. He could feel that the Flame God Incantation had undergone some changes.

Not only did the circulation path change, the circulation speed also increased. He could feel that the Flame God Incantation had become more complete.

If the Flame God Incantation was originally a first-rate cultivation technique, then after a change, it would become a mid-grade yellow-rank cultivation technique. Then, the Flame God Incantation would become a dark class cultivation technique.

Not only was it more powerful, the rate at which it absorbed spiritual energy in the world increased.

Although Yang Li didn't understand what was going on, he was more excited. The more the Flame God Incantation improved, the more help it would give him.

"Master, master, I'm awake!" Feng Er's voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

"Hey, Feng'er, you're awake!" Yang Li asked in surprise.

"That's right. Master, where did you go to just now? Feng'er feels very comfortable there. Her recovery speed is also faster!" Feng Er giggled.

"That is an ancient land. Looks like it will be of some help to you. In that case, I'll bring you along if I enter again in the future." Yang Li laughed and said casually.

"Alright, Master, I have some good news for you. I have recovered a portion of my ability and can help you now!" "Hmm, if we use the levels that you humans speak of, it would be around the middle rank of a Dao soldier."

"Middle grade Dao-Soldier?" "Then what was your original level?" Yang Li's heart stirred. He had really forgotten to ask about Feng'er's rank. He only faintly felt that it was an extremely high level.

The only weapons Yang Li knew of were Common, Dao Weapons, Yellow Rank, Black Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank. This was also because the highest ranked weapons in the entire South Fire Region were only at the Heaven Rank.

Weapons at every stage were divided into four grades, and they were the same as cultivation techniques: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Treasures of the mid-grade Dao weapon were already extremely difficult to come by for those of the Blood Tempering stage.

"So what level is it?" Hearing Yang Li's words, Feng'er began to have some doubts.

"I forgot, too. Master, I can't remember many things now. I'm sorry, Master." Feng Er said with a bit of grievance.

"It's fine. If you can't remember it, then forget it. Just remember it." Yang Li didn't criticize Feng'er.

"Okay, hey, Master look, the stone above your head is glowing!" Feng Er said in surprise.

"Hmm?" After Yang Li heard this, he looked up and discovered that the top of the cave was flashing with a faint light, constantly changing.

Yang Li looked over with rapt attention and saw that the light at the top of the cave was gradually changing into words. Every second it changed to another word. Yang Li looked carefully and felt that this was a cultivation method, but he didn't know what it was.

After an unknown amount of time, the light at the top of the cave did not change, and it suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Yang Li's head suddenly hurt, and his entire body fainted. Feng'er's continuous calls didn't even wake him up.

"Young man, what's your name?" An old man with a crane hairstyle was staring at him with a horsetail whisk in his hand. Powerful ripples were emitted from his body, and around his body was this extremely mysterious formation.

"Hello, senior. Junior is Yang Li." Yang Li saw that although the old man had some doubts, he could feel that the old man had no ill intentions towards him, so he opened his mouth to speak.

"Yang Li? "Mm. It's a good name. Yang Li, what era is it now?" Daoist Tiangfang asked gently.

"Senior Tianyuan, this is the 9th era, the 9996 year of the calendar." After Yang Li heard Daoist Tian Fang's words, he was stunned for a moment.

"Is it already this time? "It seems like that day is about to arrive." Daoist Tian Fang frowned as he heard Yang Li's words. He muttered to himself as he thought.

"Senior Tianyuan?" Yang Li looked at Daoist Tian Fang, who was deep in thought, and tried to sound him out.

"Hmm?" Daoist Tian Fang regained his senses and looked at Yang Li. He chuckled, "Whatever, it's all in the past now. Yang Li, I'm sure you still don't know my name."

"My name is Zhou Tiangfang, and I'm known as Daoist Tiangfang. I was born in the Realm of South Fire during the seventh era and was considered to be quite talented. I was born only two hundred years ago, and have roamed the continent."

"The reason why I'm called Daoist Tian Fang is because I have a Divination Technique and a self-created spirit art. This is also the reason why I am able to roam the continent unhindered. And I, who created my own spirit art, can protect myself, so that no matter how many enemies there are, they will never be able to harm me. "

Later on, on a whim, I tried to predict the future of the continent. I predicted for a whole year, but after finding out that the continent was going to encounter a great disaster thirty thousand years from now, I panicked and told my old friends about it.

With the strength of the continent, how could I possibly not face it? However, in order to understand the future of the continent, I left a divine intent clone in this cave, hoping that the later generation would tell me about the situation of the continent.

"Originally, my formation would automatically dissipate after 32,000 years and outsiders could enter this cave. However, for some reason, you triggered it in advance and now, you are able to enter. However, that doesn't matter. Perhaps it is fated."

"Meeting is fate. Although your cultivation is only at the seventh level of Qi, your talent and comprehension are excellent. However, the Dao of Divination cannot be taught to you by the Heavenly Dao. There is also a set of self-created martial arts that I can impart to you." Daoist Tiangfang asked.

"Yes." Yang Li replied without a second thought. His martial arts were extremely lacking. Up until now, he only had the Flame God Spear Art and the Floating Light Flash.

"I'll pass on this magic to you," he said, "and you'll have to swear an oath to the Dao of the Heavens to not kill innocent people for evil no matter what." Daoist Tian Fang said solemnly.

Hearing these words, Yang Li's heart shook, and he said extremely decisively: "Senior Tian Fang, I am not sure if I will kill innocents, and if no one offends me, I will not offend them, but if someone bullies me or my family, even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth, I will still kill them all!"

"This …" When Daoist Tiangfang heard Yang Li's words, he hesitated for a moment before finally sighing.

Forget it. I've already been dead for more than 20,000 years, so I won't force you. However, in the future, if you meet any descendants of the Zhou Clan who cultivate the same technique as you, just help them.

"Senior, don't worry. I, Yang Li, am not a person who does not know how to repay a debt of gratitude. If I meet senior's descendant, I will definitely help with everything I have."

When Daoist Tiangfang heard this, he smiled in relief. A ray of spiritual light abruptly shot out from his finger and floated into Yang Li's mind. His figure also slowly disappeared.
