Chapter 1553: Training and the Journey Home (Part Two)

During these five years, they didn’t just fly in a straight line. When they sensed a powerful demonic beast clan, they would choose to go around it.

During this period, they constantly stopped and started, not just thinking about leaving as soon as possible. This was Li Yan’s deliberate arrangement, allowing Tang Feng to take this opportunity to constantly fight with various demonic beasts.

In the beginning, Tang Feng was sharp when hunting demonic beasts, but it was just as easy for a demonic beast of the same rank to kill him.

When an enemy’s Divine Sense came out, often with just a single sweep, it could find his hiding place or a loophole in his defense. This was simply incomparable to what could be sensed with Soul Power.

This made Tang Feng’s reactions often much slower than his opponent’s. Fortunately, Li Yan was there to defend him. Otherwise, who knows how many times Tang Feng would have died in the early stages.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Tang Feng fought with demonic beasts too often. Under Li Yan’s deliberate guidance, he was indulging in fighting with different demonic beasts.

If a true cultivator from the “Earth-True Domain” came out, as long as they heard about the dangers of the outside world, they would try their best to avoid demonic beasts in the early stages while they were unfamiliar with the situation, to slowly accumulate experience.

But Tang Feng was led by Li Yan, specifically looking for lone demonic beasts, and even cultivators who came to the Heavenly Demon Prairie to hunt demons, to fight.

Li Yan’s method for choosing enemy cultivators didn’t have many reasons. One was that the other party was alone; the other was that he felt the other party didn’t look like a good person, so he might let Tang Feng make a move.

Although one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, with Li Yan’s experience in judging people, he was basically never wrong. But most of the time, they still focused on hunting demonic beasts.

And Tang Feng had no psychological burden about this. They had no goodwill towards any evil spirit cultivators other than Soul Cultivators, let alone sympathy.

In this way, Tang Feng’s training was completely different from how other disciples from the “Earth-True Domain” would train in the future.

He was covered in scars almost every three to five days, and his aura was even weak. Then he would find a place to heal, and then go find another enemy with Li Yan.

The current Li Yan was also a Spirit Transformation cultivator. In the outer periphery of the Heavenly Demon Prairie, coupled with his strength that far surpassed his peers, he basically had no problem protecting himself.

What’s more, both of them were Spirit Transformation cultivators, and they were Soul Cultivators with the most bizarre attacks!

Often, when the situation looked bad, Li Yan would also immediately intervene. He would also use this opportunity to test how a Soul Cultivator’s attack worked on other types of cultivators.

Generally speaking, as long as they could defend against the enemy’s first wave of attacks, the opponent’s fate was basically the same.

The opponent would often just let out a miserable cry and fall directly from the sky, without any injuries on their body…

In this way, the two of them continuously flew away from the Heavenly Demon Prairie, dodging and ambushing along the way. Tang Feng’s experience in all aspects was also increasing by the day!

He was a heaven’s favored son to begin with. As long as he became familiar with a certain method, he could often infer three things from one.

By the time they left the Heavenly Demon Prairie, Tang Feng’s temperament had already changed drastically, and the realm he displayed was basically maintained at Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

He was tireless in his enjoyment of this insidious method. The kind of open and honorable attacks he used to employ had long been abandoned without a second thought.

The various sharp edges he used to have were now basically smoothed out in the eyes of others’ Divine Sense, giving him the feeling of a gentle, jade-like young master from the mortal world.

This made it even harder for others to know how sinister his moves were. It was a discrepancy that simply couldn’t be matched with his appearance.

Tang Feng was extremely fond of this. When no one was around, he loved to sling his arm around Li Yan’s shoulder, and the two would constantly discuss how to make their soul arts and Divine Sense cooperate in an even more secretive way. They were a typical delinquent duo!

This made Li Yan think of Bu Luo again. If Bu Luo were also here, what kind of scene would the three of them make…

After the two left the Heavenly Demon Prairie, Li Yan confirmed their direction again and found that the place they came out of was not to the west toward the Broken Army Sect, but to the northwest.

Thus, he once again led Tang Feng and flew towards the Broken Army Sect.

This time, after setting out again, the two no longer took the initiative to fight with others. But if someone had ideas about them, their cooperation was so good that with a single glance, they knew how to silently kill the other party…

Li Yan also took Tang Feng into several markets, which further opened his eyes.

He wanted to buy almost everything he had never seen before, but fortunately, he also knew he couldn’t do that.

But although he didn’t buy extravagantly, after asking Li Yan, Tang Feng still bought a lot of things, which made Li Yan shake his head.

Tang Feng’s wealth should not be much less than Li Yan’s, and he had also secretly sold a few Soul Crystal Sprouts.

This item simply did not exist in the outside world. But the Soul Power fluctuations within it, any merchant who saw it would know from experience alone that this was no ordinary item.

However, Tang Feng also knew what was important, and with Li Yan keeping an eye on him, he only took out some fifty-year-old Soul Crystal Sprouts. This got him a lot of high-grade Spirit Stones.

Due to the way Spirit Stone veins were formed in the “Earth-True Domain,” supreme-grade Spirit Stones there were extremely rare, and even high-grade Spirit Stones were very precious.

So after Tang Feng came out, since he had the opportunity to exchange for Spirit Stones, he naturally desired them. For now, he couldn’t think about supreme-grade Spirit Stones, but there were plenty of other grades of Spirit Stones in the markets.

And he only wanted high-grade Spirit Stones. As for talismans, magical treasures, jade slips, storage rings, and so on, he also carefully picked some, and then would go to the next market to buy more…

Twenty days later, Li Yan pointed in a direction in the air.

“Fly for another half a day, and we’ll reach the sect’s location. This is already the Broken Army Sect’s territory!”

Tang Feng skillfully released his Divine Sense and quietly scanned the area. After sensing that no other cultivators were flying over, he suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Li Yan also immediately stopped flying and turned to look at Tang Feng with a puzzled expression.

“Brother Li, let’s stop here! I now know the exact location of the Broken Army Sect, so I will take my leave now. Actually, I wanted to suggest this when we left the Heavenly Demon Prairie, but I still wanted to personally come to the location of Brother Li’s sect, so I followed you. Now that we’re here, I won’t go into the sect!”

“Oh? Brother Tang, I was planning to get you a position as a Supreme Elder in the sect, and then you could train here for a few years! You… you’re leaving now?”

“Hahaha… Thank you, Brother Li, for your guidance over the past few years. Training in your sect would probably just mean staying inside and cultivating all day. But I want to see more of the wonderful things in the world. You know how small our place was. This time, just flying through a part of the Heavenly Demon Prairie’s outer periphery has already made me feel my ignorance and shallowness, and I’ve also experienced the dangers of the outside world. Because of this, I want to break through to the Void Refining Realm as soon as possible. On this trip out, just this short period of training has made me feel that perhaps I can break through to the Late-stage Spirit Transformation soon. So now, while I have a vague sense of enlightenment in my heart, I must go out and search for my own opportunities, to make that enlightenment arrive sooner!”

Tang Feng said with a serious expression.

Li Yan nodded after hearing this. After these few years of tempering, Tang Feng was at a stage where his state of mind was changing the most.

Therefore, he shouldn’t be cooped up in one place, but should continue to maintain this change in his state of mind until he broke through!

And by this time, Tang Feng’s experience was already not weak. In addition, this person was also cautious and calm in his actions.

Otherwise, back then, he wouldn’t have been able to carry out the dangerous mission of scouting the nine major forces, and only be discovered by the enemy after many years. Tang Feng was indeed capable of traveling outside on his own.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer. This is a map jade slip of the nearby area that I know of. I’ll give it to you, Brother Tang. All the areas I know of, like cities and markets, are marked in relatively detail!”

As Li Yan spoke, with a light wave of his hand, a jade slip flew out.

He then caught it and, with a smile, handed it to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng looked at the youth before him, his green robes fluttering in the wind, his short hair like needles, and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

He now knew how vast the Immortal Spirit Realm was, so vast that it was beyond his imagination. A map was so important.

Although he had heard Li Yan introduce the Immortal Spirit Realm when they were in the Heavenly Demon Prairie, mentioning information about the Northern Pastoral Realm, the Main Dao Realm, the Azure Pavilion Realm, the Sacrificial Nether Realm, and so on.

But it was only after truly traversing the outer periphery of the Heavenly Demon Prairie, and knowing that it was only a part of the outer periphery, that he had a deeper appreciation.
