Li Changming was undeniably efficient. In less than an hour, the members of the Li Family had completely withdrawn from the Cold Family Garden.
Before leaving, Li Changming engaged in polite conversation with Ye Tian for quite some time. Eventually, Ye Tian became so annoyed that he shoved the secret manual back into Li Changming's hands, urging him to leave quickly.
To his surprise, Li Changming was flustered and did leave, but he insisted on leaving the manual with Ye Tian.
As he departed, Li Changming mentioned that this manual had no copies and was extremely precious. Ye Tian could only respond casually; he wasn't foolish enough to give away a manual that could determine the rise or fall of a family without any copies.
After Li Changming left, Ye Tian looked down at the manual in his hands. It was titled "Heavenly Heart Technique," a martial arts manual focused on absorbing Heaven and Earth Origin Power, meaning it had no fixed rank.
After casually flipping through it for a while, Ye Tian's expression began to change dramatically. This was undoubtedly a treasure; if practiced according to its methods, the speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Origin Power would increase by at least three to four times.
"No wonder the Li Family rose so quickly; they had such an opportunity," Ye Tian couldn't help but exclaim. After his initial astonishment, he felt joy as well because it was also his fortune—he seemed to receive what he lacked.
With the Heavenly Heart Technique, his speed in reaching Second Stage Martial Unification would greatly increase. However, this did not mean he could advance a level within a month, so searching for spiritual herbs and Beast Cores remained urgent.
In the familiar yet strange Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range—a vast area that had changed Ye Tian's life—he navigated through it with ease.
Recalling two years ago when he could only operate at the mountain's edge, now he could venture deep into the central areas. Even if he encountered powerful beasts, while he couldn't guarantee victory, safely retreating was still manageable.
The main purpose of this trip was to find spiritual herbs and Beast Cores. Therefore, Ye Tian lived in the mountains, subsisting on collected spiritual herbs that could stave off hunger and sleeping in ancient tree caves—his lifestyle was akin to that of a wild man.
Time flew by, but unfortunately, he did not find any valuable spiritual herbs nor encounter beasts with high-level inner cores.
Now more than half a month had passed. Even though he practiced using the Heavenly Heart Technique, his strength had only increased from early-stage Martial Sovereign to mid-stage.
While moving from early to mid-stage sounded like halfway through the process, in reality, advancing from mid-stage to late-stage was far more difficult—several times more challenging than before—meaning his progress was quite slow.
Moreover, this was under the support of the Heavenly Heart Technique; otherwise, it would have been even slower.
Of course, for Ye Tian, this speed felt slow, but for other Martial Practitioners, it was a speed they could only dream of.
When a person needs time, it always seems to pass quickly. Ye Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky, only to see the sun setting in the west; another day had passed without him realizing it.
He circulated a trace of Martial Origin Power, and the Xumi Ring flickered with a faint light. Inside were his gains from the past half month: hundreds of spirit herbs below the Earth level and more than ten Yellow Rank Beast Cores. Judging by quantity alone, it was indeed considerable, but in terms of quality, it was pitifully lacking.
"Sigh, even if I put all these things together, they probably won't help me improve at all." Ye Tian felt somewhat frustrated. He had thought this trip would yield abundant rewards, but half the time had passed, and aside from the Heavenly Heart Technique, he had made almost no progress.
"If this continues, I might lose to Li Xun during the Test of the Pavilion." Ye Tian gazed up at the stars in the night sky, feeling a bit anxious. Although he usually didn't show it in front of others, he still cared about the outcome of the formal competition.
After all, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. While he wasn't overly aggressive, the desire to win was an unavoidable part of his nature.
Moreover, Li Xun had repeatedly provoked him and openly made threats in front of so many people. If he couldn't teach Li Xun a harsh lesson and instead ended up being taught a lesson himself, Ye Tian would likely be extremely frustrated.
"Even if I reach the second stage of Martial Unity Definition, I may not be able to compete with Li Xun. If he were just an ordinary fourth-stage Martial Sovereign, that would be one thing, but he is Li Xun. His martial arts skills are formidable and can be said to be on par with mine; he has also been through countless battles..." Ye Tian sighed lightly. Accustomed to taking on responsibilities, it was rare for him to feel anxious when alone.
However, this negative emotion was quickly swept away. In the face of setbacks and obstacles, pushing forward is what a man should do!
Shaking his head vigorously, Ye Tian freed himself from these feelings and then lay down to sleep. He planned to rest well so that he could set off early the next morning towards deeper areas of the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range.
Morning soon arrived. The birds in the forest began to chirp cheerfully, insects were buzzing from unknown places, and in the distance, there were roars from some beasts. The Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range, which had been silent all night, regained its vitality.
Ye Tian rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched lazily before leaping down from an ancient tree. He took out a spirit fruit to quell his hunger and began his journey into the deep mountains.
Along the way, beasts sensed his Crimson Dragon Aura and instinctively avoided him.
Since the last incident, his Crimson Dragon Power had become even more formidable. Along with it came a more pronounced Crimson Dragon aura; this was one reason why he had not encountered any powerful beasts during his more than half-month stay in the mountains.
After all, as beasts themselves, they were far more sensitive to the aura of ancient divine beasts than humans were. Only those Earth-Level Demon Beasts with dull wits would foolishly choose to attack Ye Tian.
After about two hours of continuous travel, Ye Tian clearly noticed a change in the environment. The trees here were taller and sturdier, and even the thorns were taller than a person. Occasionally, deafening roars echoed through the air, and dark clouds occasionally drifted across the sky.
However, those clouds were not real mist but rather enormous bird-like beasts circling above.
"This is the feeling!" Ye Tianxin felt invigorated; the more powerful beasts that appeared, the greater his chances of obtaining a high-quality Spirit Beast Inner Pill.
If this had been two years ago, hearing such intimidating roars would have sent Shadowless fleeing in a puff of smoke. But now, he found himself thinking that the sounds were somewhat quieter.
Based on the source of the sound, Ye Tian easily pinpointed the location of the beasts and then unhesitatingly flew toward where the noise originated.
After navigating through layers of thorns, Ye Tian soon spotted his target.
It was a group of giant demon bulls, each measuring several dozen feet in size. They had three horns atop their heads and were covered in a layer of red hard armor. Their limbs were as thick as tree trunks, and their hooves, comparable to large iron hammers, were even spewing flames.
"Raging Fire Demon Bull?" Ye Tianxin's heart raced. Indeed, heaven does not disappoint those who are diligent; this Raging Fire Demon Bull was an Earth Level Seven Beast, with strength comparable to a Martial Unity Expert, and it definitely possessed an inner pill.
Moreover, judging by the current situation, this group of Raging Fire Demon Bulls was engaged in a contest. More than twenty Raging Fire Demon Bulls formed a circle, and in the center stood two larger ones whose hooves emitted white flames.
"This must be the Bull King competition," Ye Tian muttered to himself. According to the Spiritual Treasure Compendium's section on beasts, after absorbing a certain amount of natural essence, the chaotic fire within a Raging Fire Demon Bull changes from red to white; at that point, it can become a Bull King.
However, Bull Kings capable of controlling white chaotic fire are extremely rare; one appears only once every few hundred years. Yet today, Ye Tian encountered two at once—this was indeed an unexpected delight.
The duel was fierce because within a given territory, only one Bull King could exist. Therefore, these two Raging Fire Bull Kings would surely fight to the death. At that time, Ye Tian could reap the benefits.
Moreover, even if we assume that both Bull Kings were evenly matched and no victor emerged from their battle, they would still be severely weakened. Regardless of how it played out, it was an excellent opportunity for Ye Tian to benefit from their struggle.
Moo roar!
An older-looking Raging Fire Bull King roared angrily. Its call was different from that of an ordinary cow; behind its mooing was a sound reminiscent of tigers or leopards roaring.
"It seems this is the Old Bull King, and the other one is the New Bull King who has just mastered the White Wildfire. Interesting." Ye Tian found a place to hide, curious about the battle between the new Old Bull King.
While he was looking for a hiding spot, the two Bull Kings had already engaged in a fierce duel, attacking relentlessly. Before long, both were covered in wounds.
Boom!
A massive white flame pillar shot out from the center of the Old Bull King's forehead horn. Although the New Bull King dodged, it was still affected, and the flames instantly scorched its neck.
The New Bull King let out an angry roar, stomping its hooves on the ground as waves of white flames surged up, quickly enveloping it.
"Hey, it's strange. Why is the New Bull King hurt by the Old Bull King's wildfire when they are both wildfires?" Ye Tian watched with great interest, wishing he had some snacks to munch on while observing.
Moo!
After roaring in anger, the two Bull Kings charged at each other, their massive and sharp horns clashing. It wasn't long before their insides were exposed and blood flowed freely.
The battle lasted about half an hour. By the end, an area of several hundred zhang was engulfed in white flames. Ye Tian couldn't see what was happening inside and could only wait quietly until after a while when the flames finally began to dissipate.
Looking around, he saw that a victor had emerged. Experience proved valuable; the New Bull King lay dead on the ground while the Old Bull King moved away amidst a crowd of other bulls.
Once they left, Ye Tian quickly entered the arena, first taking the inner core of the New Bull King before using Yuqi Tayan Jue to follow after the Old Bull King.
Having obtained the inner core of the New Bull King, Ye Tian would not let this opportunity slip away as the Old Bull King was severely injured.
