As the morning light began to filter through, it illuminated the tranquil path in the Forest, casting dappled spots of light that scattered gently across the ground.
At this moment, a young figure was walking alone, moving slowly as if lost in thought.
"I didn't expect Grandpa Leng to have such a past..." he murmured to himself, recalling the words spoken by Leng Wanli after a night of drinking.
It turned out that during their conversation yesterday, Ye Tian learned about some past events concerning the Cold Family.
Fifteen years ago, Leng Wanli had reached the rank of Martial Sovereign and gained widespread fame. His bold and domineering personality had led him to accumulate numerous enemies over the years, including the Brutes of the mountains, local rivals, and even some third-rate factions within Divine Wood County.
Because of this, a disaster befell the Cold Family.
Everyone knew that a Martial Sovereign could condense Martial Origin Power into a tangible form, creating a Martial Origin Heart Pill. Once formed, this heart pill could double the conversion of Martial Origin Power, significantly enhancing its power. However, despite its strength, the Martial Origin Heart Pill had its drawbacks. At its initial formation, it was exceptionally fragile; any disturbance in the martial energy during this period could lead to severe consequences such as damage to the heart meridian and total loss of cultivation!
To avoid such risks, one needed to undergo seven days of uninterrupted meditation for the effects to dissipate.
It was during these seven days that disaster struck the Cold Family!
A year prior, Leng Wanli had sensed signs indicating he would break through to Martial Sovereign by year-end. He understood that during those seven days of meditation, many enemies would come knocking. If he successfully entered the rank of Martial Sovereign, those enemies would face devastating repercussions.
Thus, he took precautions and ordered the top craftsman Lu Tiangong to construct mechanisms and build a manor for his meditation.
Logically speaking, with such early preparations, everything should have been foolproof. However, fate had other plans; on the very day he stepped into Martial Sovereign, it seemed as if all troubles descended upon the Cold Family at once.
That day marked Xiaoshuang's birth, a change in leadership for the Guard Captain position to Wu Tianci, Cold Wu's successful breakthrough to Martial Mastery which threatened Cold Boyuan's status, plunging the Cold Family into a tumultuous period.
At that time, Cold Boyuan had already entered Martial Mastery, but being young, he did not have much ability to manage the family. However, Leng Wanli was eager to advance and, disregarding everyone's advice, forcefully broke through to Martial Sovereign. He then resolutely entered the manor that had been secretly constructed here for seclusion.
His thought at that moment was that once he achieved great success in Martial Sovereign, there would be no rivals within a million miles of Square Area. Those who plotted against the Cold Family would not dare to invade as long as they could not see him. Even if they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strike at the Cold Family, they would have to weigh the disaster he would bring upon them once he emerged.
With this in mind, he settled down for his seclusion.
However, just the next day, something unusual happened.
Lu Tiangong was bought off and brought Leng Wanli's enemies to this place, and it was not just one group. Lu Tiangong had actually sold multiple copies of the schematics for the traps and secret passages here. Therefore, overnight, this originally secluded location was visited by a large number of enemies.
Upon seeing this situation, Leng Wanli was furious and took action. Although his Martial Origin Heart Pill had not yet reached completion, with his strength at the ninth stage of Martial Sovereign, he was more than capable of dealing with those who came to attack.
A fierce battle ensued, darkening the skies. After a day and night of fighting, all external enemies were eliminated, but Leng Wanli suffered severe damage to his heart vein and became a waste.
However, that was not the end. Just as he was preparing to end his own life due to the immense blow of losing his cultivation, another piece of bad news arrived.
Many strong enemies split into two groups; not only did they attack this place, but they also decisively assaulted the Cold Family during this opportunity. Although in the end, Cold Boyuan and his brothers fought desperately to protect the foundation of the Cold Family, during that battle, Cold Boyuan's wife tragically met with misfortune, and over a thousand members of the Cold Family perished!
This near-destructive blow caused what was once the top family in Spirit Martial Town to instantly fall to a second-rate family, suffering scorn for quite some time.
Yet because of this, Leng Wanli felt deep sorrow and decisively abandoned his thoughts of suicide. He vowed in his heart that one day he would return to the peak and crush all those enemies who took advantage of the chaos.
Now, time flew by; in the blink of an eye, fifteen years had passed. Although Leng Wanli had not been able to recover his strength, he had found a path of hope. Through self-discovered cultivation methods, his damaged heart vein was slowly beginning to heal.
"Sigh... no wonder Grandpa Leng always seems so sorrowful; I didn't expect that his moment of impatience back then led to the deaths of thousands..." Ye Tian sighed lightly and resolved in his heart to help Leng Wanli return to his peak.
Ye Tian, Cold Frost, and Leng Wanli all shared similar symptoms; their heart veins were damaged. However, compared to Leng Wanli's injuries, theirs were trivial by a thousand times. Xiaoshuang lacked any martial energy and needed spiritual medicine for recovery; Ye Tian could recuperate on his own but would recover even faster with spiritual medicine support.
As for Leng Wanli, after hearing about this matter last night, Ye Tian immersed himself in the Spiritual Treasure Compendium throughout the night and finally found a clue regarding the restoration of the Heart Vein.
The Azure Royal Heaven Vine, an Earth Level Five spiritual herb, is considered a miraculous item for repairing the Heart Vein. For those whose Heart Vein is uninjured, consuming this herb will strengthen it; for those whose Heart Vein is completely destroyed, if they can obtain this rare medicine, they can recover overnight.
"As long as I can find this Azure Royal Heaven Vine, Grandpa Leng can return to being a Martial Sovereign!" A determined look rose between Ye Tian's brows as he glanced around before stepping onto a rugged mountain path.
Though it was called a mountain path, it was merely an area where the grass and trees were slightly shorter.
The Cold Family's estate penetrates hundreds of miles into the mountain wall and is built in the middle of the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range. However, due to the presence of human activity, there are few spirit beasts or spiritual items nearby; one can only hear faint bird calls and insect chirps.
After walking for a while, Ye Tian pushed aside the tangled grass in front of him and looked up. Before his eyes stood towering trees, each thick enough for several people to embrace, with branches sprawling out to block the sky and sunlight.
Ye Tian took a deep breath, and immediately, the uniquely fresh air of the primeval forest invigorated his spirit.
After enjoying a moment with his eyes slightly closed, Ye Tian resumed his footsteps and ventured deeper into the forest.
Chirp chirp...
Roar...
As he delved further in, the sounds of insects and birds became increasingly frequent, and occasionally he could hear strange roars that were likely emitted by spirit beasts.
Hearing these sounds made Ye Tian slow his footsteps and his expression grew serious. At present, he could not mobilize his Yuan Power; if he startled any ferocious spirit beasts, the consequences would undoubtedly lead to him becoming their meal.
With cautious eyes, he scanned his surroundings. After confirming that there were no spirit beasts nearby, Ye Tian found a giant tree to lean against its trunk and took a moment to rest.
Along this journey, Ye Tian had indeed gained a lot; in this central area of the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range, the yield of spiritual herbs was incomparably higher than that on the outskirts. Describing it as bountiful would not be an exaggeration.
At this moment, Ye Tian looked down upon those Yellow Rank third and fourth tier spirit herbs, as in just about an hour, he had already found more than ten Beneficial Herbs of that level!
"What a treasure trove!"
He silently praised, and a strong excitement appeared on Ye Tian's face.
Having been injured by Xu Tai and sent here to recuperate, he initially felt quite frustrated thinking about Cold Boyuan's words that it would take over a month. However, seeing the current situation with such abundant spirit herb resources, not only would his injuries heal during this month, but his strength might also advance significantly, possibly even breaking through to Martial Mastery!
With such thoughts in mind, Ye Tian became restless. After cautiously scanning the surroundings again, he stood up and continued searching for spirit herbs.
The forest was deep and the vegetation lush. Ye Tian quietly moved through the tall grass above his head, his figure resembling that of a nimble spirit monkey.
Rustle...
Suddenly, several unusual sounds came from the nearby bushes.
Ye Tian's heart tightened; he quickly held his breath, froze in place, and began to observe.
Rustle...
The sounds grew closer, and moments later, several fiery red figures swiftly darted through the grass not far away, seemingly fleeing from something fierce.
Roar!
Just as those fiery red figures were escaping, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from about a mile ahead.
Then, Ye Tian could faintly feel the ground beneath him beginning to tremble lightly.
Furrowing his brow, the expression on Ye Tian's face instantly became serious. Judging by the commotion, the beast must be enormous, likely comparable to a house.
"What kind of existence could this be..." Ye Tian thought in surprise, but his feet did not stop as he nimbly moved towards a towering ancient tree.
Moments later, Ye Tian's figure appeared on a horizontal branch of the ancient tree, which was quite high, at least five zhang above the ground.
From this height, Ye Tian's view opened up.
He gazed into the distance towards the source of the earlier sound and faintly saw a massive creature moving with heavy steps in the direction where Ye Tian was hiding.
Roar!
The monster stood upright, towering over three zhang tall, resembling a fierce tiger with hooves like those of an ox. Its blood-red maw bore two exceptionally sharp tusks akin to those of a wild boar, and it let out a deafening roar. Its giant eyes, as large as grinding wheels, continuously flickered with terrifying ferocity.
"What level of beast could this be..." Ye Tian wondered in astonishment. He had encountered many beasts outside the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range before, but none could compare in size or presence to the one before him.
"The Spiritual Treasure Compendium should have records!" Ye Tian retracted his gaze and took out the Spiritual Treasure Compendium from his bag, flipping through its pages.
