Stretching for tens of thousands of miles were undulating ranges of mountains. From deep within these mountains, the dull roars of beasts erupted periodically, sounding like thunderclaps or raging tsunamis.

At the edge of the forest, a few tens of miles away, giant trees towered over, shrouding the woods in deep shade.

A gigantic Qing Wolf, baring its fang-like teeth, the scarlet pupils of its eyes transfixed on the audacious human standing in front of it, daring to challenge its authority.

Roar!

The massive Qing Wolf howled and sprang forward, its sharp claws ripping through the air. The massive wolf’s claws stirred the air, creating a gust as forceful as if splitting mountains and rocks apart.

Pei Xuanjing channeled the True Qi within his body, gripping the Hundred Tempered Longsword in his hand. A layer of black sword light shrouded the sword, its black gleam flickering erratically. A strong wind howled as it charged towards the colossal wolf’s claw.

Clang!

Sparks flew as the black sword light struck the wolf’s claw. Instantly, a transparent shockwave spread dozens of meters, stirring up clouds of dust.

Failing to land its attack, the Qing Wolf opened its blood-soaked mouth, spewing out a dense, stench-filled Blood Qi as it lunged towards Pei Xuanjing. As if it wanted to swallow up this despicable human in a single gulp.

Pei Xuanjing’s eyes turned cold, his Blood Qi surging. His figure moved in an altered trajectory, wheeled around – strong and lean like a drawn Sharp Arrow – leaped several meters into the air, spun once, and aimed right for one of the wolf’s eyes.

Swish!

All of this happened in just about a fraction of a second. Almost as soon as the Qing Wolf had a chance to react, the Hundred Tempered Longsword was already brutally stabbed into its left eye – piercing it right through the other side. Mixed fluids of red and white instantly erupted out of the wound.

Boom!

The Qing Wolf let out its last howl, but its fate was sealed. Eventually, it fell, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Pei Xuanjing let out a sigh of relief. Without any trace of hesitation, he sat down next to the wolf’s corpse to meditate. An unseen force enveloped him.

Next to him, Blood Qi emanating from the Qing Wolf’s body was endlessly flowing towards Pei Xuanjing, who was now surrounded by countless streams of the Wolf’s Blood Qi.

Although the savage Qing Wolf was at the same realm as Pei Xuanjing, the Blood Qi contained in its massive body was several times more than his own.

However, instead of immediately absorbing these streams of Blood Qi, Pei Xuanjing concentrated on condensing and refining them. Eventually, he managed to form a thumb-sized blood pellet, its purity incomparable to what it was moments ago.

At Pei Xuanjing’s command, the blood-colored pellet burst apart, and the pure Blood Qi seeped into every crevice of his flesh and bones, beginning the process of tempering his body.

As countless flows of Blood Qi integrated into his flesh and bones, his body was enveloped in faint red light. His body’s pulse rang in harmony, and wisps of foul-smelling grime emerged from his pores, instantly burnt to ashes by the Blood Qi.

When the purified Blood Qi was completely consumed, Pei Xuanjing didn’t open his eyes immediately. Instead, he savored the transformations occurring within his body – not just the growth in strength, but also the astonishing firmness of his muscles, skin, and flesh, as well as the blood flowing like molten mercury within him.

After a few moments, he abruptly opened his eyes and stood up. Then, he threw a punch, the force of which created a gigantic sound that rent the air.

“In one year, I’ve recovered my strength to the first-grade pinnacle, and I’m on the verge of re-entering the Spiritual Realm,” Pei Xuanjing’s lips curled up into a satisfied smile.

Over the past year, he treaded through the Savage Demon Domain, killing demonic beasts, using the Ten Thousand Spirit Body Forging Skill to enhance his Cultivation, and finally managing to regain his current level of prowess. This proved to be a much faster path than practicing in solitude.

After a year of survival battles, Pei Xuanjing better understood conflict of humanity and the demonic beasts in this world.

In the savage demon domain, between humans and demonic beasts, beast against beast, man against man, there were no rights or wrongs, no good or bad. All that prevailed were the bare laws of the jungle, survival of the fittest and natural selection.

Pei Xuanjing had made attempts before, distinct from the tolerance of the World of Myriad Manifestations, the mainstream approach of this world favored the Way of Essence Refinement. His Cultivation of Dao of Qi Refining and Cultivation of Refining Spirit were significantly repressed, resulting in a fraction of the power they once held.

“But at least, this world hasn’t been a waste of my time,” Pei Xuanjing murmured with a cold smirk.

Whether it was in the World of Myriad Manifestations or in the Daming World, Pei Xuanjing’s strength had reached its limit, even with the looming threats from the ancient powers, they couldn’t make Pei Xuanjing genuinely feel a crisis of life or death.

Pei Xuanjing’s Cultivating Three Ways Simultaneously had brought him formidable power, so much that for a while he found it difficult to focus all his attention. His training in the Refining Foundation was somewhat lagging, and only in the savage demon domain could he abandon all his ambitions and cast himself into the brink of life and death, disregarding everything else to simply hunt demonic beasts and hone his own skills.

After a year of battling, he more deeply understood various martial arts of the Way of Essence Refinement, and he also gained a lot of insights on the cultivation of physical body.

“But this ‘Ten Thousand Spirit Body Forging Skill’ is domineering, the flaw is quite evident.” Pei Xuanjing, feeling the overflowing power in his body, frowned slightly.

Even though every time he absorbed the energy from the blood of these demonic beasts, he would use True Qi and Yin Spirit Power to compress and purify it, yet it was still difficult to completely remove the will of those demonic beast’s essence.

Over this period of time, Pei Xuanjing found himself somewhat affected and showed a hint of ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness in battle.

But this was nothing for Pei Xuanjing. With his current realm, he would only need to closet himself away for a while and adjust accordingly.

Of course, if this much could already affect him when he was simply using it to absorb the essence of the blood, one could imagine how much it would affect those who truly cultivated this skill.

Hence, Pei Xuanjing yearned even more for the realm of the most powerful beings in Nine Realms of Spirit.

In the following days, Pei Xuanjing continued his journey in the savage demon domain, treading the line between life and death, battling demonic beasts to increase his own strength.

Another year later, since he had already stepped foot into and had experienced refining the Spirit Realm Second Layer with the help of countless beast’s blood essence, Pei Xuanjing’s strength had once again made a breakthrough and he had regained the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm.

Having experienced two years of survival fighting, Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of the Refining Foundation got deeper still, but just around this time, he also ended his cultivation journey.

With his current Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm, he was equivalent to the warriors of this world, matching the Demon Generals in the Demon Race.

Such strong beings, whether in the human race or the demon race, could be considered the backbone of their respective races, they were also the advanced forces on the battlefields.

If Pei Xuanjing continued to stay in the savage demon domain, he would certainly attract the pursuit of Demon Generals. Even though he considered himself powerful, he wouldn’t choose to do so.

Next, Pei Xuanjing returned to the Boundary City to recuperate. He began to meditate and heal the after-effects of absorbing the essence of demonic beasts’ blood, and adjust his Shenxiao Mysterious Skill.

However, his leisurely days didn’t last long. After about half a year, Pei Xuanjing was drafted by the Boundary City Guard and was informed that he was to report to the Town Guard Mansion.

Against the draft order of the Town Guard Mansion, Pei Xuanjing had no choice but to comply. He had to put his own matters on hold and head to the mansion.

After arriving at the mansion, someone informed him of the purpose of this draft.
