Chapter 109 - Training in the Hell Palace Please Subscribe

Jiang Tang woke up from his cultivation, opened his eyes, and was still in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space—it was so real, not a dream.

He bounced up excitedly, leaping several zhang high in the space, then gently landed back down, feeling that the agility of his body had doubled compared to the Qi Refinement Realm—this was not just because the spiritual energy was abundant, but also because the sensitivity of his body had increased.

He realized that the quality of his body was incomparable to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, with physical strength even better than that of Body Refinement.

This major discovery felt like a blessing in disguise.

As Jiang Tang landed, he saw Eryao’s pitiable eyes gazing at him.

“Eryao, Little Blue Ox, your cultivation has increased, so why those expressions?”

“Daddy, we’re hungry,” Eryao said in a pitiful tone.

“Moo…” Little Blue Ox, unable to speak human language, could only express itself with its eyes.

“What’s the matter?

Eryao, you can cook, can’t you?

With your increased cultivation, have you gotten lazy?”

“Daddy, you wrong me, see, isn’t that a pot of rice?”

“If there’s rice, then eat.

Why are you looking at me?”

“We want to eat Daddy’s fried grass.”

“What?

Don’t you eat fresh grass?”

“Daddy, hurry and cook, we want to eat your fried dishes.”

“Alright, we’ve all become thrifty, too bad there’s no meat or wine to celebrate, we can only eat Spirit Herb Sprouts, which is pretty economical.”

Jiang Tang decided to try out the newly acquired spell – grass plucking and absorption.

With this spell, he could harvest crops very efficiently while farming the space.

As he was picking the grass, he noticed that the space had gotten much larger, the distant mountains previously shrouded in mist, and the rising sun was just a brightness.

At this moment, the far-off mountains became very clear, with a sun slowly rising atop them.

Once that sun revealed itself above the mountains, it didn’t rise any further, remaining static.

The sunlight that illuminated the space felt warm but not hot.

The black mist within the light ring wasn’t affected by the rising sun; protected inside the light ring, it wasn’t disturbed by the outside world.

Jiang Tang was quite curious whether those distant mountains were real.

When he activated the Wind-racing Step, having advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the use of this footwork was even more agile, like a flying bird in the air, able to fly in the space without the need for a Flying Artifact.

With this realization, Jiang Tang was thrilled and wanted to try it outside as well—could he fly in the sky outside too?

“Where are you going, Daddy?

Aren’t you going to fry the dishes?”

“Eryao, wait for a bit.

I’m going to check out the mountain and the sun.”

“Daddy, that’s not real over there,” Eryao said just as he finished speaking, unable to bear it, he covered his eyes.

Yet, at that moment, Jiang Tang, unguarded, “bang” bumped into a hard wall, nearly flattening his face and nose.

“Damn it, it’s just an illusion, why does it look so real?”

Jiang Tang touched his forehead to check if it was swelling and whether his nose had gone flat.

Luckily, the robustness of his advanced-stage body spared him—otherwise, his handsome face would have turned ugly.

Jiang Tang reached out to feel the sore spot and then touched the very real wall mural, feeling its hardness as he knocked on it.

“Dong dong dong”

Jiang Tang was fully convinced that it existed as if it were an actual wall.

He wondered what was beyond that wall?

Could it be a path to the outside world?

Could it be that if he became stronger, the wall might open a door to the outside world?

He no longer wanted to be confined here, waging wit and bravery against various demons and ghosts.

Life on the outside was full of color.

“Daddy, come back.”

“Here it comes!”

Jiang Tang had to go back to cooking.

After eating the delicious dishes, Eryao and Little Blue Ox withdrew their resentful gazes.

“Eryao, Little Blue Ox, after eating your fill, it’s time to get to work!”

Having just eaten a bowl of rice and dishes, Jiang Tang felt energized again.

He wanted to go outside and try if he could fly high in the sky by activating the Wind-Racing Step.

Having become a bit stronger, he should be qualified to fight against the demonic beasts and ghost cultivators outside, right?

“Daddy, can we rest for a while?

Can we not go?”

Eryao wanted to rest after eating.

“Eryao, you are a dragon, not a snake.

How can you be lazier than a snake?

Little Blue Ox doesn’t talk as much as you do.”

“Daddy, didn’t we just finish practice?

Let’s rest and recover.

Little Blue Ox can’t speak human language.

Can you understand what it says?

Can it talk to you without speaking human language?”

“Eryao, don’t you want to try out and see if your Thunder Roar has become stronger after leveling up?”

“Oh, right, let them see how formidable this dragon is.”

“Moo…”

“You lazy, dragging ox, why is it always me who gets scolded by the owner?

You think just because you can’t speak human language you can escape the fate of being a drag?

Ah!”

Eryao was complaining, and his dragon claws really wanted to smack Little Blue Ox.

Jiang Tang observed the outside and saw that it was a dark, black night, with lots of ghost flames flickering by the river.

“Eryao, open the protective circle to guard us.”

Jiang Tang still didn’t dare to try the strong suction force in the darkness.

This time they went out to have a fight with the ghost cultivators.

The previous magical treasures were already destroyed, and now the only protection he had was the light circle emitted by Eryao.

Eryao sprayed a streak of water light, which turned into a light circle, enveloping himself, Little Blue Ox, and his master.

In the black night, only the ghost flames flickering by the river were visible, with many ghostly shadows floating around.

“Master, it’s too dark to see, I’ll cast my spell.”

Eryao unleashed Thunder Roar towards the black sky, “Boom, boom, boom” the dark sky suddenly shook with thunder, and the thunder and lightning exploded in the sky.

The sudden sound startled the ghost cultivators who were absorbing the spiritual energy of the Nourishing Soul Grass flower buds, as well as the demonic beasts hiding under the gray earth.

This thunder was even louder than before, as if exploding in their souls, making their ears and heads buzz with noise.

The ghost cultivators scampered to hide, while the demonic beasts in the caves trembled with fear.

After the Thunderous Lightning, Eryao sprayed out another streak of water light, which, like torrential rain falling to the ground, turned into blocks of ice.

With the sudden changes in the space, the ghost cultivators had no time to hide, feeling cold and pain as the pouring rain hit them.

“Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch…”

Ghost cultivators emitted strange cries as they shivered from the cold, fleeing back to their lairs.

Eryao’s dragon shadow cast across the sky, with the brilliance of the Dragon Ball illuminating the gray heavens and earth.

What was originally a dark sky now had a bright light like the red moon.

“Eryao, I’m going out to try my spells.

Protect me at all times, and don’t let the suction force of the space suck me away.”

“Hmm, Daddy, rest assured!” Eryao pushed his master out of the light circle.

Jiang Tang suddenly felt a strong suction force pulling his body away.

He activated the Wind-Racing Step and backed away as if holding a rope on one side while the suction pulled on the other, each side exerting their strength to prevail.

“Damn it…

It’s stronger than a level 12 typhoon; such a strong suction force.

I’m going to assume a horse stance…”
