Chapter 40: The Eight Extremes Are Formed, Swallowing Heaven Giant Beast

  "Lao Hu, why are we so unlucky? On such a cold day, we're still running around in the Giant Python Mountains to commit murder." A tall and thin mystic sighed.

  The first one was a Taoist priest named Lao Ho, who had a sturdy physique like an iron tower, but with a scar on his face that dragged down to his chin, making him look somewhat ferocious. Upon hearing this, he only let out a bitter laugh: "Not for anything else, just because we hold the Taoist temple's bowl and eat the Taoist temple's rice!"

  Lao Huo, one of the three people sent by Qi Xiu to launch a surprise attack on Xu Yang last time. He was relatively unlucky and was ambushed by a mysterious master from the City Master's Mansion, resulting in this terrifying scar on his face, which was also inflicted by that mysterious master with a casual strike.

  This time, Qi Hong personally gave the order to kill Xu Yang and also mentioned Lao Huo's name. Lao Huo had been uneasy in his heart all along, fearing a repeat of the previous tragedy. It wasn't until he heard that Xu Yang had left Lin Yuan City alone that he plucked up the courage, bringing two Xuan Shi companions deep into the Giant Python Mountains.

  That slender and tall mystic let out a loud sneeze, then muttered in a low voice: "In such a vast mountain, where can I find that person? That dog named Xu Yang, once I find him, I will crush all his bones to pieces!"

  Lao Huo heard this and couldn't help but smile bitterly. When the master of the Shaomen sect gave orders, he didn't consider the actual situation at all. The three Xuan Shi had been searching for a long time, it had already been six or seven days, where did they find any trace of Xu Yang?

  "Huo big brother, I think we should gather the team," said the thin and tall cultivator with a sigh. "Who knows, that little scoundrel might have been eaten by ferocious beasts or maybe he's lucky and has already returned. Think about it, a mere cultivator like him, how could he survive in the Giant Python Mountains for so many days?"

  Old Huo shook his head and said: "Let's search for a while longer. Going back now is too early, we can't avoid being punished by the Taoist temple."

  The three of them had to keep moving forward, their eyes wide open, searching for any sign of human presence on every hill and valley, in every thicket, and under every pile of withered leaves.

  "Halt!"

  The speaker was Old Huo, and the other two stopped following him, asking in unison: "What's wrong, Brother Huo? What did you find?"

  Old Hu's face muscles twitched, and with a wave of excitement, he said: "Look..."

  The other two followed his pointing, and saw a pile of bonfire ash not far away, with the cold wind blowing in winter, the bonfire ash was blown away in a whirlwind.

  The thin and tall Xuan Shi quickly ran over, observed the remaining embers of the bonfire, and came to a conclusion: "This fire should have been lit several days ago. As far as I know, there hasn't been any ascetic team entering the mountain during this period. Judging from the size of the bonfire, it should be for one person only... No difference, Old Huo, it must be that kid Xu Yang!"

  "Everyone cheer up and continue searching along this route!" Old Huo said, "Young Master Shao ordered that Xu Yang is not an ordinary cultivator, don't be careless."

  "Huo big brother, you're being too cautious," the tall and thin Xuan Shi laughed, "You, me, and him are all late-stage Xuan Shi. What can Xu Yang do to us?"

  Lao He couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, the huge gap between Xuantu and Xuansi gave them three endless confidence.

  Inside the cave, Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, with a deep sense of emotion in them.

  After three days and nights of hard practice, he finally successfully condensed the remaining three extreme Xuan Wheels: Wind Extreme Xuan Wheel, Water Extreme Xuan Wheel, and Ice Extreme Xuan Wheel.

  Now, the inner vision of the starry sea, eight different colored slender whirlpools are rapidly rotating, each governing itself, without interfering with each other. A thread of pure and refined spiritual energy is flowing through the various extreme meridians as the dantian rotates.

  "The Xuan Wheel is indeed the second heart of a Xuan Master," Upon seeing the rapid rotation of the Eight Pole Xuan Wheel, with each rotation driving a cycle of Xuan energy circulation, Xu Yang felt a hint of enlightenment rising in his mind.

  His current physical strength has reached 200 jin, a figure that can rival that of a Xuan Shi level expert.

  From Xuan Tu to Xuan Shi, Xu Yang experienced a leap, after being promoted to Xuan Shi, he possessed Xuan Li, and could refine spiritual pills below third-grade, could independently refine Xuan equipment, could cultivate Xuan techniques... This represents that the infinite divine skills in his mind were liberated, with extraordinary significance.

  He stood up, stretched his waist, and his bones crackled like popping beans, making Xu Yang's figure suddenly three inches taller, looking more slender and sturdy.

  "My stomach is so hungry......" Xǔ Yáng was just about to go find some food, when he suddenly felt something small tugging on his pant leg. He looked down and couldn't help but be startled.

  The fat ball is rolling around his legs, and from time to time biting his pants leg.

  "I clearly remember setting up a 'dual pole array', how did this little thing get in?" Xǔ Yáng's back was drenched with cold sweat, if Féi Qiú disrupted him at the critical moment when he was condensing his mystical vortex, the consequences would be too terrible to contemplate, exploding into pieces being the only possibility.

  Xu Yang didn't have time to take care of Fei Qiu, and squatted down to examine the "Two Poles Formation". As soon as he checked, he was suddenly frightened. The original formation pattern hadn't changed at all, but the two polar Xuan forces that were used to operate the formation had disappeared without a trace!

  Two fingers flashed out like lightning, pinching the back of Fei Qiu's neck. Xu Yang interrogated, "Fei Qiu, what's going on with this 'Polar Array', is it your doing?"

  The fat ball's two small eyes rolled around wildly, its little head shook desperately, and its two front paws also waved back and forth, as if emphasizing "it wasn't my fault".

  Xu Yang's left hand suddenly emitted a beam of pure and bright light, which flickered uncertainly at his fingertips. That was the pure Light Xuan force.

  The fat ball stopped wobbling, and with a big mouth open, it sucked in the light mysterious power like drinking noodles, swallowing it all at once.

  "It's really like that!" Xǔ Yáng's eyes widened, this little ball of flesh, what kind of demon beast cub was it? It was clearly a young Spirit Beast - the Heaven-Devouring Beast!

  "Its body is round like a ball, with a diameter of over 100 zhang, its huge mouth is like an abyss, swallowing the heavens and earth", this is the description of the Tianwu beast in the Zangjingge "Yishouzh".

  Xu Yang couldn't recall it at first, mainly because of Fei Qiu's fist-sized body, which was really hard to associate with the ferocious Tianyuan beast.

  Looking at the Swallowing Heaven Beast being lifted by its neck with two fingers, Xu Yang was speechless.

  The fat ball blinked its small eyes, grumbled in protest, and Xu Yang was pinching the skin on the back of its neck, making it almost breathless.

  The fatty thudded to the ground with a loud crash and rolled over, continuing to circle around Xu Yang's leg.

  "It's okay, the fat ball has gained wisdom and knows not to disturb me. Although it ate away the light and darkness of the Bu array, it didn't run around on me looking for food," Xuyang shuddered, "This little guy is actually trustworthy."

  A wave of hunger surged in his stomach, and Xuyang took a step forward to get some dry rations.

  "Has all the dried meat been eaten? Are all the dry provisions gone too? You damned fatty, I'm going to steam you!"

  A commotion in the cave, Xu Yang chased after the fat ball and ran all over the cave, finally successfully lifting it by the back of its neck and placing it on his shoulder.

  "A Heavenly Beast cub...” Xǔ Yáng didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky. This spiritual beast cub was indeed powerful, but its maturation period of over a thousand years was really too long to wait!
