A powerful explosion came from the vast mountains.

The mushroom cloud produced by the explosion reached the sky and was tens of thousands of feet tall.

Everyone who lived within a thousand miles of this place could clearly hear the terrifying explosion. However, they did not know what had happened to cause such a strong impact in the mountain range.

“Oh no, oh no. Could it be that someone died in the Evil Spirit Valley again?”

“It’s really hard to say. I heard that there’s a huge release every hundred years in the Evil Spirit Valley. It’s about time. Could it be that a devil has really escaped?”

“That’s impossible. Didn’t these devils say that they couldn’t leave the mountain range? And why is there only such a strong explosion?”

“Who can say for sure? One has to know that all those devils have extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been sealed inside.”

The nearby cultivators discussed.

In a quiet valley, three men and one woman were resting in front of a cave when they suddenly heard the explosion and ran out hurriedly.

Fang Cuilian looked in the familiar direction and muttered in her heart.

“What happened? Why did the valley explode? Don’t tell me some mighty figure was fighting there?”

The second brother had recovered a lot now, and his face was flushed. “Big Brother, what are you thinking? What kind of mighty figure can release such strength when fighting someone? It’s impossible.”

“That’s right, but what’s with the explosion? Could it be that a super mighty figure was really born? Have you noticed that the human race on the entire continent has become more and more powerful recently? I think it’s most likely that the human race has discovered another treasure and raised a super mighty figure.”

The big brother’s analysis seemed to be acceptable. Although it was still a little far-fetched, it did not seem easy to explain.

Fang Cuilian was still looking in this direction in shock. She was too familiar with it. If she remembered correctly, she had sent that young man to this mountain range.

Could it be that young man?

However, Fang Cuilian felt that it did not seem like it. He was just a kid. How could a kid have such powerful strength?

Fang Cuilian had always been puzzled. How did that guy bring her brothers out of there in such a short period of time?

Although the siblings had discussed a lot, they could not think of an accurate answer. In the end, they felt that this matter was very strange and treated it as they had fallen into an illusion. They did not pursue the matter further.

However, if this matter was related to that kid, it seemed to be possible.

“Cuilian, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing. I just thought of the young man who saved Big Brother yesterday.”

“You mean that kid caused such a huge commotion in the mountains?”

“I’m not especially sure, but there’s only one person who went into the mountains recently. The others also seem to…”

“It’s impossible for that kid to be alone. Moreover, he’s so young and his strength is probably average. It’s already good enough that he can protect himself, let alone cause such a huge commotion. It’s impossible.”

“Big Brother is right.”

“Alright, don’t think about it anymore. No matter what, with such turmoil in the mountains, I’m afraid the following days won’t be so easy. Everyone should hurry up and recover. After you recover, let’s go to another place. I heard that Rong City is much more stable now. Why don’t we seek refuge in Rong City?”

“I heard that Rong City is indeed the most stable city now. No one is causing trouble inside, and no one is arguing with each other. It’s the most stable city among all the cities. It shouldn’t be wrong to seek refuge there.”

“It’s settled then. Everyone, quickly recover your strength. We have suffered a lot of injuries this time. Although we’ve obtained some materials, we’ve still suffered some losses overall. We have to gather more materials before we go. Otherwise, we’ll be chased out if we can’t stand firm there.”

While the four of them were chatting, they did not notice a gust of wind blowing gently above their heads. The wind came and went without a trace, but when the wind stopped, they could clearly see that it was a square stone platform two meters long and two meters wide. On it stood a young and handsome man.

Li Yuanqing stopped on a tall mountain and looked down at this wilderness. There were many wild beasts growing here. These wild beasts were very powerful. They were much stronger than humans when they were born, but it was not easy for them to become very strong.

Li Yuanqing destroyed all those devils in the valley. After destroying the valley, he left with the Soul Suppression Altar.

After obtaining the Soul Suppression Altar, he had explored a lot. This thing could be big or small, and it could be used as a flying Dharma artifact.

If he flew, it would be easy to waste too much spiritual energy and it would not be too stable. However, this thing was different. Not only was it very stable, but it could also help with recovery and even heal injuries. This Soul Suppression Altar was really a useful thing.

He just did not know where such a useful thing came from.

Li Yuanqing had always been brooding over what those devils had said. The human race was cursed here. In Li Yuanqing’s opinion, this sentence should mean that the Black Dragon had cursed all the humans and restricted their cultivation.

However, it did not seem right. This was because after the humans cut off the restrictions of the black dragon, the increase in their strength was still not that obvious. At the very least, they seemed to be a little inferior to the world on the ground.

Most importantly, there were such rich resources underground. Logically speaking, there should be many spirit stone mines, but there were so few that the human race could use. Why was that? Those devils must know something.

However, Li Yuanqing did not waste his breath on them. He wanted to kill them all. He would probably have to slowly explore the reason behind this.

Li Yuanqing flipped his palm and a few huge devil crystals appeared.

These devil crystals were all taken from those devils in the battle just now. These devils were much stronger than the ones from before. Their devil crystals were also purer and contained more power.

Li Yuanqing has obtained enough materials now. He was thinking how strong this devil crystal would be if he could mix these devil crystals together again and obtain an even stronger demon crystal.

After having this thought, Li Yuanqing could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He wondered what kind of power would be born if he could fuse the devil crystals of the peak Formation Arrangement Realm devil experts and the devil crystals of the experts he had fused together.

Perhaps he could touch the boundary of the next level.

On the platform at the top of the mountain, two children suddenly jumped out. These two children were fighting excitedly when they suddenly changed spaces. They could not react for a moment.

The two of them knelt on the ground after seeing Li Yuanqing.

“Master!”

Li Yuanqing looked at the two of them and nodded in satisfaction.

“The results of your cultivation these few days are very good.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Master. It’s all thanks to the pills and natural treasures you gave us. If not for these things, the two of us might not have been able to touch the boundary of the Body Refinement Realm even if we spent decades.”

“It’s also because the two of you are talented and calm that you can reach the peak. It won’t be long before the two of you can use that Foundation Establishment Pill. However, you still have to stabilize it first.”

“Master, you’re right. The two of us are thinking the same thing. We have to stabilize our current cultivation first and think about breaking through after our strength is more condensed.”

Li Yuanqing was very satisfied. He did not release them out when he was fighting with the devils, so the two of them did not even know what had happened. However, with their strength, it was useless even if they were released.

Yang Tianqi secretly looked up at Li Yuanqing and suddenly said, “Congratulations, Master!”

Li Yuanqing laughed in confusion. He looked at Yang Tianqi and asked, “Why is there something to congratulate me for?”

Yang Tianqi said seriously, “Master’s luck is longer than before and your expression is more relaxed. If I’m not wrong, Master should have advanced to the next level.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and looked at Yang Tianqi. Yang Tianqi was really smart and knew how to observe expressions. He could observe even the slightest changes in others.

Liu Wen scratched his head. Although he had the same feeling just now, he could not be as certain as Yang Tianqi. Therefore, he would not think of any congratulatory words.

Li Yuanqing had indeed reached the seventh-grade Formation Arrangement Realm. During this period of time, he had been busy collecting materials everywhere and had obtained many good things. His seventh-grade Formation Arrangement Realm strength was quite stable now. He planned to try to break through to a higher level after refining those materials.

Originally, he thought that being at the sixth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm in this Catacombs world was already the peak of his strength. However, from the looks of it, his idea was more or less a little childish.

If he hadn’t had the help of the Soul Suppression Altar, he would have died under someone else’s saber when he encountered this peak Formation Arrangement Realm devil.

However, the most important thing now was to use these materials. Li Yuanqing was not sure what these powerful devil crystals could refine with those materials.

“Master, have you really broken through?” Liu Wen looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief. “It’s extremely difficult for you to take a step forward in this realm. I didn’t expect you to be able to break through again in this realm. You’re really a rare expert in the mortal world!”

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook his head. He first knocked Yang Tianqi’s head and patted Liu Wen’s head.

“The two of you should focus on cultivation. Cultivators must be focused and not think about such nonsense all day long.”

Yang Tianqi stuck out his tongue in surprise and pulled his little ears as if he knew his mistake.

“Master, I was wrong. I won’t speak nonsense in the future.”

“Alright, I’m not scolding you. Your observation skills are good and you have a huge advantage in knowledge. If I were your enemy, I would be at a disadvantage now.”

“Master, stop joking. If you’re our enemy, the two of us won’t be able to touch you.”

“How’s the cultivation technique I prepared for the two of you? How’s your cultivation?”

Liu Wen looked at Yang Tianqi, who took the initiative to say, “To be honest, the cultivation technique that Master gave us is too profound. The two of us haven’t comprehended it completely until now, but we have some comprehension.”

“There’s no need to be anxious. Take your time. In future actual combat, you will naturally have a deeper understanding. There’s no need to say anything.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he suddenly waved his hand gently and lifted the two of them up. “I still have something to do recently. The two of you have been staying in the domain space all the time, so it’s not easy for you to improve your understanding of fighting and cultivation. Therefore, the two of you can go out and train for the time being. I’ll look for you when the time comes.”

The two children had grown up in an unrestrained environment since they were young. Now that they were suddenly locked in this narrow space, although Li Yuanqing’s domain space was large enough and the two of them were willing to cultivate inside, they would feel frustrated after a long time.

When the two of them heard Li Yuanqing’s arrangements, they immediately smiled.

“Where does Master want us to train?”

Li Yuanqing pointed in the direction of Sea City. “Now that Sea City has officially started, there are many chaotic scenes. Although those scenes are some trouble for City Lord Ye’s management, it’s a good training ground for children like you.”

“Sea City.” Yang Tianqi lowered his head gloomily. “I thought I was going back to Rong City.”

“We’ll go wherever Master wants us to go. Why are you still so picky?” Liu Wen curled his lips and said.

“What do you mean by picky? I was just saying.”

Li Yuanqing smiled at his two disciples. These two children’s personalities were really compatible. Letting the two of them be together was a very good decision.

“You two don’t have to fight anymore. You will naturally have a chance to go to Rong City in the future, but not now. For now, you should listen to my orders obediently.”

“Yes, Master!”
