Just like that, with a sweep of magic, the dust would be eliminated. Moreover, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body did not ask them to sweep the dust but to manually polish the corners of the cave.
When Feng Ye first opened this cave, he used magic to forcefully create it. The cave was thirty zhang long, and at the back, there was a space as large as a football field, divided into a clean room, a reception room, and so on.
Since it was created with magic, the rocks had sharp edges. Feng Ye, who originally didn't pay much attention to these details, never bothered to clean them up. Thus, this became the task for Feng Kui and Feng Zhong, to polish all the corners of the cave smooth.
In this way, a year passed, and the tunnel was finally polished smooth by the two children. However, it was also a form of cultivation, and both of them had made some progress in their qi practice. Therefore, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body directly kicked them out of the cave, telling them to find their own food, calling it a form of training.
Of course, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body secretly protected them from a distance, otherwise, some venomous insects or ants would have easily killed them. Those powerful fierce beasts and strange creatures, sensing the dragon's might from the Divine Dragon Dharma Body, naturally dared not approach. As for ordinary wild beasts, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body deliberately suppressed his aura, not letting them discover him, intending to use them as targets for Feng Kui and Feng Zhong's trials.
...
One day, Feng Ye suddenly felt the Divine Dragon Dharma Body calling for help. Feng Ye frowned. There were no Celestial Immortals around the Sui Ren tribe, and the Divine Dragon Dharma Body could walk around freely, even being slightly stronger than Feng Ye himself. Why would he come to him for help?
Upon careful inquiry, it turned out that Feng Zhong had accidentally wandered into the territory of a warehouse bear. This warehouse bear was quite famous within a thousand miles around the Sui Ren tribe, and even Feng Ye didn't want to provoke it easily.
It wasn't that Feng Ye was weaker than the bear, but its defense was too extreme. As an earth-type demon beast, it had an advantage on the ground, borrowing the earth's qi. Even ordinary Celestial Immortals found it hard to break through its defense. Moreover, the bear had never caused trouble for Feng Ye, so they had always kept their distance.
Although Feng Zhong had provoked the bear first, and the bear refused to accept an apology, insisting on killing Feng Zhong, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body, who wasn't one to back down, engaged in battle. However, being only a half-step Celestial Immortal without powerful magical treasures, his attacks were a bit weak and couldn't break through the bear's defense. The two sides were at a stalemate, so the Divine Dragon Dharma Body had to seek help from Feng Ye.
Of course, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body didn't expect Feng Ye to come and help. After all, they were one entity, and Feng Ye, who was focused on improving his Dao cultivation and neglected his magical power and abilities, was not as strong in attack as the Divine Dragon Dharma Body. Moreover, Feng Ye was quite reclusive, rarely leaving the cave since the Divine Dragon Dharma Body took care of all the errands.
This time, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body only wanted to borrow the Sui Ren Lamp from Feng Ye. The Sui Ren Lamp could burn anything, and since the bear had dared to challenge him, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body wouldn't show any mercy. He would burn the bear and its den to ashes.
Understanding the Divine Dragon Dharma Body's intention, Feng Ye casually summoned the Sui Ren Lamp from the stone platform and threw it to the Divine Dragon Dharma Body. Feng Ye calculated that he had spent a considerable amount of time in seclusion. It had been five years since he took in Feng Kui and Feng Zhong as disciples. Time really flies! The two boys were already ten years old, no wonder they started wandering around. It had been quite a bother for the Divine Dragon Dharma Body to look after them for five years.
During these five years, Feng Ye systematically summarized and organized his cultivation, writing a book called the "Talisman Scripture" to serve as the foundation of his Dao lineage. Perhaps because he had sorted out his cultivation methods and reinforced his Dao foundation, his understanding of the universe had deepened.
In terms of Dao cultivation, Feng Ye had already reached the level of Celestial Immortals. After all, the ancient divine script he had studied was not in vain. Each character contained the essence of the Heavenly Dao, summarized by ancient deities.
However, cultivation wasn't just about Dao cultivation. One's magical power, mind, spirit, and physical body also needed to keep up. The Primordial Chaos was not a safe place. In a peaceful era, one could focus solely on Dao cultivation and become a Dao Immortal, even if their attack power was weak. But in the Primordial Chaos, what good was Dao cultivation without magical power? One would just be prey for others. Although he had the Divine Dragon Dharma Body, he couldn't be completely without magical power.
Moreover, the example of the Wind and Fire Tribulation was right there. If he were to break through to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, achieving the realm of Celestial Immortal and merging with the Dao, he would inevitably face the thunder tribulation.
According to the novels of later generations, the thunder tribulation was the most terrifying, with only a one in a hundred chance of survival. One had to be extremely cautious, which required a lot of magical power.
Fortunately, in the Primordial Chaos, the most abundant things were the elemental qi and heavenly treasures. One's magical power could be quickly increased by consuming spiritual fruits. It was no wonder that people in this era focused more on improving their Dao cultivation.
While Feng Ye was secretly calculating, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body, holding the Sui Ren Lamp, had already ended the battle. The warehouse bear's den was burning with a towering inferno, the flames raging, and within it lay a charred bear corpse. The holy fire of humanity, even limited by the level of the magical treasure, was not something a spirit-level demon could resist. It was quickly reduced to ashes.
"Magical treasures are truly useful. But it's because I don't have a suitable one right now. Otherwise, why would I need to ask the True Self for help?"
The Divine Dragon Dharma Body saved Feng Zhong and took him back to the cave.
Halfway there, the Divine Dragon Dharma Body saw a towering flame ahead and stopped. He used his divine eyes to look at the scene.
It was a fire snake and a two-headed lion fighting over a spiritual fruit. The Divine Dragon Dharma Body smiled wryly. In the Primordial Chaos, spiritual fruits were abundant. Was it really necessary to fight to the death over one? After all, they were both dominant in the area. The Divine Dragon Dharma Body recognized these strange beasts. They were two of the five spirit-level demon beasts around the Sui Ren tribe, along with the warehouse bear.
However, when the Divine Dragon Dharma Body caught a glimpse of the spiritual fruit, he subconsciously took the Sui Ren Lamp in hand.
Alright, retracting my previous statement, it's actually a先天灵果 (先天灵果)! Although we are one entity, I am not as unprincipled as the True Self. I will take responsibility for my actions. If it's for this先天灵果 (先天灵果), it's worth a fight!
The spiritual fruit was a large red jujube, growing in a crack on a rocky cliff. The jujube tree was only a few zhang tall, with a few leaves wrapping around the large jujube, swaying in the wind, as if it would fall at any moment. The red jujube emitted a red glow, like a small sun.
What a coincidence, the True Self was just worried about spiritual fruits, and now one is right in front of him. This is a great opportunity that cannot be missed. The Divine Dragon Dharma Body calculated and sent Feng Zhong back, while he stealthily approached the cliff.
The two combatants were rare Primordial Chaos beasts. The fire snake was extremely venomous, even the Divine Dragon Dharma Body didn't want to provoke it. It was said to have dragon blood, evident from the two dragon horns on its head. If it obtained the先天灵果 (先天灵果), it might directly transform into a dragon.
The lion was a descendant of a three-headed golden-haired lion, with strong combat power. However, it only had two heads now. Could it be hoping to grow a third head with this spiritual fruit? It would be best to wait until they were both weakened. But there was a fear of interference from others. After all, there were two other spirit-level beings! With such a commotion, they wouldn't remain indifferent. The Divine Dragon Dharma Body silently calculated, relaying the situation to the True Self.
Upon receiving the message, Feng Ye couldn't sit still. The elemental qi contained in a先天灵果 (先天灵果) could save him hundreds of years of cultivation. If he consumed this spiritual fruit and refined his magical power, he might be able to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal within three years!
Calm down! The spiritual fruit will mature in three days. These few days need to be well-planned. When the spiritual fruit appears, not only the venomous snake and the three-headed lion, but the other two would also come. Fortunately, the warehouse bear is dead, reducing one opponent.
Although he wasn't afraid of them one-on-one, he might not win in a group fight. After all, they were all demon beasts, and if they united against him, he would be in trouble. The current priority is to take action first and eliminate a few opponents!
With this in mind, Feng Ye secretly went to the chaotic stone forest where the blood wolf resided. The other two spirit-level demon beasts were a mutated blood wolf and a falcon. If he had to choose, Feng Ye preferred to eliminate the blood wolf first. The blood wolf, unlike the other four, was not a Primordial Chaos beast but an ordinary wolf that gradually became a spirit. Although the blood wolf had stronger attacks, it clearly lacked a racial legacy and couldn't fly. In a fight, he would have the advantage.
Now that the Sui Ren Lamp was not in his possession, relying solely on the White Bone Pagoda provided good defense but lacked offensive power. He could only rely on the Taiji True Talisman to strike unexpectedly and ensure a one-hit kill.
