In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and during these three years, he had hardly seen the outside world. At most, he would peek out through the cracks in the wooden house.
The sky outside brightened.
The few surviving children of his age, and even most of them, could barely speak clearly, spending their days in a daze.
Of course, there was no education here. There was nothing, just like raising livestock, they were kept alive.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a large wolf demon walked in.
"Out! Get them all out," the wolf demon commanded the pig demon, who was usually very aggressive and would kick the children at the slightest provocation.
The pig demon immediately screamed. Hearing her scream, the children would tremble all over. When they stepped out of the door, almost all of them were huddled in fear. To them, the outside world was even more terrifying.
Outside were several large carts, pulled by adult humans. On the carts were large cages. The human slaves pulling the carts had vacant eyes, paying no attention to the appearance of the children, as if they were already accustomed to everything.
Forced onto the carts, the cages were locked. Under the wolf demon's urging, the human-drawn cage carts were pulled forward.
Clearly, they were about to move to a new place to live.
The road was flat, paved with pebbles, and the wheels rolling over them made a creaking sound.
This was the first time Tang San had seen the outside world after three years.
The sky was clear, the air slightly cool, and the weather seemed nice today, at least not as cold. Although most of the children were still shivering from the cold, Tang San was fine.
On both sides of the road were astonishing forests. The reason they were described as astonishing was because the vegetation was so tall. Compared to the plants in his previous life, the plants here were similar but much larger. Some of the thick trees were nearly a hundred meters tall, and one had to tilt their head back to see them clearly.
Occasionally, a massive creature would fly by in the sky, seemingly a bird, but it couldn't be seen clearly.
The air was rich with spiritual energy and the breath of life. Over the three years, Tang San had become certain that this was a world very suitable for cultivation, a world with extremely high life levels.
Undoubtedly, the powerful demon and spirit races were born and raised in such an environment.
In three years, Tang San had successfully cultivated the first level of the Profound Heaven Art.
In his original world of Douluo Continent, to break through the first level of the Profound Heaven Art, he needed to undergo some special methods. But here, it wasn't necessary. When he connected his meridians, the Profound Heaven energy in his body naturally broke through the bottleneck of the first level. He was only three years old now.
In the previous world, he was six years old when he finally broke through. Although his insights were different, the spiritual energy of this world played a significant role.
However, he was still very weak. He did not want the demon races to notice anything unusual about him. He could feel that even the most ordinary wolf demon was at least equivalent to the second level of the Profound Heaven Art. Combined with the physical differences, any resistance would be suicidal.
In this world, humans were ignorant. If he really wanted to change the status of human slaves, solving this ignorance was probably the most important thing.
After about an hour, at least by Tang San's perception, they were brought to a place that resembled a village.
The simplest wooden houses, everywhere were ragged humans. Mostly men, with fewer women. The village seemed to have over a thousand residents.
The human-drawn cage carts stopped, and the doors were opened. Some human women approached, bowing deeply and crouching in fear before the wolf demon.
The leading wolf demon snorted coldly, "These brats are yours now, take them away."
Tang San was taken aback. Were they being returned to the human world to live?
The children, who had been raised in captivity for three years, had no wisdom to speak of. Faced with the unfamiliar world, they were only filled with fear.
They were dragged into the village. What chilled Tang San's heart was that the human slaves here showed little compassion for the children. Their eyes were vacant, and they mechanically led the children into the village.
In the days that followed, they began to receive education. Yes, these children started to gain the right to education. What did they learn? First, they learned to recognize things, the tools used by slaves, and simple words.
The food was even worse than when they were in captivity. The food here was clearly very scarce. Women and children received very little, and only the stronger men had the chance to eat more.
In the village, the children's movements were no longer restricted. So, Tang San discovered that the male humans often left for a period, presumably to work as slaves. Deaths in the village were a common occurrence. Through the conversations of the villagers, he learned that he was from another village. Human villages did not allow their own children to be raised in their own village but instead exchanged and adopted them.
Tang San did not act rashly or say anything shocking. He lived quietly here, secretly cultivating.
Another three years passed, and he was six years old.
At six years old, the children had to start helping the village, weaving mats and moving lighter objects.
The children had been living together since they arrived, and even at six, they still did. One-third of the children had died in the past three years. The reasons for death were varied, but the lack of medical care and hunger were the main issues.
As night fell, a figure quietly slipped out of the unremarkable human village.
Tang San, like most human children, slightly hunched his back, but his movements were quick. The moment he entered the forest, his back straightened, and his originally dull eyes instantly became bright.
He took a deep breath.
The night in Fenglang Town was very cold, with a large temperature difference between day and night. But the cold air was rich with spiritual energy, invigorating his spirit.
Tang San made a hugging motion with his hands in front of him, a faint white light flowing over his body. His toes lightly touched the ground, and his figure became light and agile.
With the experience from his previous life, he was very familiar with the Profound Heaven Art, but this body needed training to keep up with his mind.
Starting at five years old, he would often sneak out at night. The spiritual energy in the wild was more concentrated, and it also allowed him to practice better.
His light and agile steps were the Ghost Shadow Step, one of his most skilled abilities from his previous life. This was what he prioritized practicing, as nothing was more important than survival in this dangerous world.
His hands gradually turned jade-colored, another advanced technique, the Profound Jade Hand, which made his palms immune to toxins and impervious to blades.
An hour of cultivation made his body slightly warm, and the Profound Heaven Art flowed smoothly within him.
However, what frustrated him was that the soul power he had awakened in his previous life on Douluo Continent did not appear in this world. This was normal, as he was reborn, bringing only his memories, not his former abilities.
He had finally completed the third level of the Profound Heaven Art. At just six years old, he had already cultivated the third level of the Profound Heaven Art, something he had never dared to imagine in his previous life.
However, in terms of strength, he was far from the level he had reached when he cultivated the third level of the Profound Heaven Art in his previous life. In the world of Douluo Continent, he had awakened his soul power, which granted him great strength. Moreover, he had the rare dual soul power. The Profound Heaven Art provided internal support, while the soul power was the powerful way to unleash strength. He still remembered clearly that when he broke through the third level on Douluo Continent, he fused a powerful soul ring and obtained a powerful soul bone, laying the foundation for his future.
Now, apart from the Profound Heaven Art and the abilities recorded in the Profound Heaven Treasure Record that he brought from his original world, he had no other abilities. Although cultivating the Profound Heaven Art alone would make him stronger, it seemed insufficient.
Thank you to the Silver Alliance Leader: Lingdi123.
