He tossed the tourmaline fruit into his mouth and continued on his way without stopping.
He looked up at the sky.
The sun was already hanging low in the western sky.
The setting sun dyed the sky golden, dazzling and beautiful.
Unknowingly, half a day had already passed, leaving two and a half days.
He quickened his pace, even ignoring Grade Eight rare and exotic fruits.
After walking for half an hour, he even ignored Grade Seven rare and exotic fruits.
After dark, he even ignored Grade Six rare and exotic fruits, only taking Grade Five and above.
Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered any Grade Two or Grade One rare and exotic fruits, only Grade Three at the highest.
A Snow Mushroom Fruit.
About the size of a red date, it grew on top of a snow-white Ganoderma.
This Snow Mushroom was located in a dark and humid place, making it difficult to find.
He discovered that these rare and exotic fruits had one thing in common: they were difficult to find.
Either they blended into their surroundings, making them difficult to distinguish, or they were in hidden places, even deep underground.
If anyone else came in, they would have to search carefully to find any of them.
The distribution of rare and exotic fruits was wide but uneven; sometimes, there would be several exotic fruits within ten miles, and sometimes there might not be one within thirty miles.
If you were lucky and searched ten miles carefully, you would gain a lot.
But you might not be able to find all of those exotic fruits.
And if you were unlucky and searched ten miles carefully, you would gain nothing, wasting your time for nothing.
Chu Zhiyuan, however, was in his element, constantly running and constantly harvesting.
He sat cross-legged on a blue stone on the top of a mountain, the bright moon shining in the sky, its clear light scattering in all directions.
He internally examined the yin-yang fish in his dantian; the eighth halo had already appeared in both fish eyes.
This meant that he had entered the eighth cycle, and there was only one cycle left before the ninth.
He felt hopeful that he could reach the ninth cycle within the Jade Scene Cave.
It was just that Grade One and Grade Two rare and exotic fruits were so rare that he hadn't encountered a single one.
Without Grade One and Grade Two fruits, relying on Grade Three fruits would be too wasteful.
He sat cross-legged under the bright moon, on the peak of the mountain, his ultra-sense covering a radius of twenty miles.
He could see the liveliness under the night, the animals that didn't come out during the day were all out, mostly killing each other.
Every animal had a natural enemy, and the natural enemy ate them, and the natural enemy also had a natural enemy.
One layer eating another, causing Chu Zhiyuan to feel a strange surge of emotion in his heart.
Many of the animals were very cute and suitable for being pets, pleasing to the eye when kept around, but they were eaten by other animals.
And the animals that ate them were eaten by other animals, one level eating another.
The rules of heaven and earth were cruel and strict.
He observed the life and death of these animals, feeling a strange compassion in his heart.
He formed hand seals, while visualizing the strange patterns in his mind, and softly chanted strange sounds.
A layer of golden light surged out, enveloping his body.
As he finished forming the seals with both hands and then gently brought them together, a golden light flashed, condensing into a golden net that floated into the distance.
The golden net rapidly expanded as it floated away, expanding three times in the blink of an eye, flying out more than ten meters.
And its luster became dim, almost blending into the night sky.
In the distance, there was an animal resembling an ape, but more exquisite and petite.
Its eyes sparkled with intelligence, constantly rolling around, revealing a cunning intent.
The golden net was light and silent as it covered it.
Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be lost in thought.
Looking at the appearance of this spirit ape, it obviously didn't see the golden net.
And this spirit ape looked very cute, but the malicious killing intent in its heart made him feel cold all over.
No matter how cute it was, Chu Zhiyuan couldn't be soft-hearted and naturally had to kill it.
As soon as the golden net covered it, the spirit ape immediately stopped moving, only its eyes could still roll around.
Ultra-sense revealed that the spirit ape's blood energy suddenly became extremely slow, only retaining its basic life, unable to exert any strength.
Chu Zhiyuan felt that the golden net had changed. Was this because his state of mind was in harmony, and he had entered the realm of intent?
The golden net in the realm of intent was more hidden, and its effect was immobilization.
He quietly observed the spirit ape, watching it be immobilized for a quarter of an hour.
After a quarter of an hour, the golden net seemed to dissipate.
The spirit ape "squeaked" and darted out, the killing intent in its heart had disappeared without a trace, leaving only fear and the thought of escaping.
Chu Zhiyuan didn't chase after it, carefully feeling the Great Subduing Demon Seal at the intent level.
The Great Subduing Demon Seal was indeed a Grade One martial art, and its power was truly astonishing.
The spirit ape's speed was extremely fast, and if it really got close, he would be in danger of losing his life.
The key was that the Great Subduing Demon Seal was actually a ranged attack, much farther than the distance of the Great Bright Fist.
He became more and more interested in the Great Subduing Demon Seal, carefully pondering it.
He also became more and more curious about the divine script.
Unfortunately, curiosity was useless. Even the royal library didn't have the divine script, indicating that the divine script was indeed extinct.
Without the divine script, the Great Subduing Demon Seal would probably be difficult to improve further, difficult to practice to a higher realm.
Time slowly passed. He rested for a while, then continued on his way, avoiding the animals and beasts, and moving forward.
When dawn broke, he suddenly stopped, frowning.
Before entering the Jade Scene Cave, his fifth uncle, Chu Hongming, had said that they would enter from different portals and would not encounter each other.
He analyzed that the Jade Scene Cave was large enough, divided into several areas, and they wouldn't be able to cross different regions in three days, only able to travel within their own area.
What he was curious about was, what about the Celestial Peak?
Could it be that there wasn't only one Celestial Peak, and the Celestial Peak was also within each respective area?
But now, it proved that Chu Hongming's words were wrong.
He saw a handsome young man walking slowly eighteen miles away.
This handsome young man was of medium build, with extremely white skin, so pale that it lacked any trace of blood.
His hair was slightly yellowish.
His eyes were emerald green, shining like gemstones.
His gait was elegant and composed, as if a king were inspecting his territory.
Chu Zhiyuan knew at a glance that this was actually a demon.
The biggest difference between demons and humans was their pupils; the remaining differences weren't too great.
Demons were also divided into nine grades, with Grade One being the Celestial Demon Clan, with extremely white skin and emerald green pupils.
Grade Nine was the Nether Demon Clan, with slightly brown skin and white pupils, while the whites of their eyes were black.
Looking extremely strange.
From high grade to low grade, the skin color gradually darkened, while the pupil color gradually lightened.
And the handsome young man within the range of his ultra-sense was actually a member of the Celestial Demon Clan.
Chu Zhiyuan's expression turned solemn.
The power of the Demon Clan came from their bloodline, and their cultivation methods and martial techniques were inherited through their bloodline.
The Celestial Demon Clan had the strongest souls, often continuing to survive for tens of thousands of years through seizing bodies.
Although these Celestial Demons who had seized bodies were often limited by their new bodies and couldn't inherit their original cultivation, they had to cultivate again.
But their memories were still there, making cultivation faster, and their combat experience was also richer, making them difficult to guard against.
Encountering this kind of Celestial Demon required dimensional reduction, using a Transformation God realm to deal with a Transformation Intent realm Celestial Demon.
The Demon Clan and the Demon Race, like humans, also used the four realms and thirty-six cycles cultivation system.
It's just that their cultivation methods were different, and the Demon Clan and the Demon Race each had racial talents. The Demon Clan's spirit was strong, and the Demon Race's physical body was strong.
And the human race's talent was strong comprehension.
A killing intent filled Chu Zhiyuan's heart.
When dealing with the Demon Clan, there was only one word: kill.
