Chapter 30

After breaking through to the Meridian Realm, Yi Yun's perception of the world had completely changed.

Now, even without relying on the Origin Purple Crystal hidden in his heart, Yi Yun could sense the omnipresent primordial energy in the world. This energy, like the air, would enter his body with his breathing and then be expelled through his pores, subtly transforming his physique.

Primordial energy from heaven and earth is a higher form of energy than food.

Ordinary people eat grains, but those who practice martial arts can use the primordial energy of heaven and earth as the essential energy for their bodies. Once they reach a certain level of martial arts, they can abstain from food.

In ancient China, the book "Zhuangzi: Free and Unfettered Wandering" recorded the phrase "not eating grains, but breathing the wind and drinking dew."

This means not eating grains but surviving solely on the energy of heaven and earth. This way of living purifies the body, reduces impurities, and extends one's lifespan.

The ancients highly esteemed this realm, and many ancient books have recorded it.

Of course, Yi Yun was far from being able to abstain from food. Yi Yun believed that even if he ever reached that realm, he would absolutely, absolutely not have the resolve to abstain from food.

On Earth, Yi Yun was a foodie. Uh... that's too vulgar a term; he should be called a gourmet—a gourmet, yes, a gourmet. The former is a sign of being greedy and lazy, while the latter is about enjoying life.

Yi Yun not only loved to eat, but he also enjoyed cooking. For a long time on Earth, he lived alone and cooked for himself. Although his dishes were not as good as those of top chefs, they were definitely delicious among home-cooked meals.

If he could establish his own career in a couple of years, with his decent looks and excellent cooking skills, he would definitely be popular when looking for a girlfriend.

Unfortunately, everything had to start over after this transmigration. In the poor and harsh Lian Clan, Yi Yun's culinary skills had no chance to shine.

Yi Yun could only look forward to the day when he could live a good life and treat himself to a feast. As for abstaining from food and drinking dew, let those things go to hell. Such a life would be terrifying, unable to satisfy one's taste, and half the joy of life would be lost.

In this new world, the only meat Yi Yun had seen in a month was that piece of cured meat. Although it wasn't tasty, it was still meat. Now that the cured meat was gone, all that was left was coarse porridge, and Yi Yun's mouth was so bland he could taste birds.

Of course, due to the limited conditions, Yi Yun could only endure his hunger and rely on the essence of the wild bones to supplement his energy.

Fortunately, the essence of the wild bones tasted great.

Since the Lian Clan was withholding food, he would eat their wild bone essence!

Since he had already decided to absorb all the wild bone essence, Yi Yun was not at all polite. He planned to use the power of the purple crystal again when refining the wild bones today to absorb the essence of the wild bones recklessly.

Yi Yun had always done this, but today, something unexpected happened.

In the early morning, when Yi Yun returned to the Lian Clan, he found the clan bustling with activity.

The old and young of the clan had all come out of their homes and gathered in the square in front of the clan leader's courtyard, making the small square crowded with people.

In the crowd, there was a giant object that looked like a small mountain.

Yi Yun focused his gaze and was immediately shocked. The small mountain-like object was actually a giant beast!

This...

Yi Yun was stunned. How did such a giant beast appear in the Lian Clan? Looking at the size of the beast, it must be incredibly strong, and one beast could flatten the entire Lian Clan!

But with so many people around, it was clear that the beast was not aggressive and was living peacefully with the Lian Clan members.

Hmm?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Yi Yun. "This giant beast..."

He remembered when he first transmigrated to this world and met Jiang Xiaorou, they saw a terrifying giant beast running in the wilderness!

That giant beast was over ten meters long, with sharp fangs and limbs as thick as iron pillars, and it ran extremely fast.

And on the back of the giant beast, there was a man carrying a sword. The man's aura was fierce and terrifying.

That scene left a deep impression on Yi Yun, as a person from Earth, seeing such a sight was truly shocking.

Now, the giant beast in the square looked exactly the same as the one running in the fields, and it might even be the same one!

Yi Yun immediately understood. A great figure had come to the Lian Clan, and this small mountain-like giant beast was the mount of that great figure!

How could Yi Yun miss such an event? He ran quickly towards the Lian Clan square.

On the way, Yi Yun saw the villagers of the Lian Clan celebrating as if it were a festival.

Yi Yun also overheard some discussions, which made his heart race.

The owner of the giant beast was a member of the Jinlong Guard!

The Jinlong Guard was the elite force of the Taiyi Divine Kingdom, with all its main combat members at the Purple Blood Realm or higher!

An army composed of Purple Blood Realm warriors had unimaginable combat power!

The founder of the Jinlong Guard was the founding emperor of the Taiyi Divine Kingdom. In the past, Emperor Taiyi led the Jinlong Guard to conquer the six directions and the eight wildernesses, laying the foundation for the supreme rule of the Taiyi Divine Kingdom.

The Jinlong Guard, this fierce and powerful force, has been preserved from the founding of the kingdom to the present, continuing for countless generations.

The Taiyi Divine Kingdom holds a warrior selection, and those selected enter the Jinlong Guard's reserve force. After passing the assessment, they become official members.

However, passing the assessment is extremely difficult. If one fails the final assessment, they can only join the regular army and will not be part of the elite Jinlong Guard.

"Since this person is a member of the Jinlong Guard, it means that the one who came to the Lian Clan is at least a Purple Blood Realm warrior."

A Purple Blood Realm warrior of the Jinlong Guard is on a completely different level from a native Purple Blood Realm warrior of the Yunhuang region.

In fact, the Jinlong Guard member who came to the Lian Clan this time was a peak Purple Blood Realm expert.

Reaching this level, combined with his long experience in the Jinlong Guard, his combat power was unparalleled, making him an elite warrior of the Jinlong Guard!

In the Yunhuang region, even the leaders of large tribes with over ten thousand households would respectfully greet him.

For the Lian Clan, his status was even more significant, almost terrifying.

Thus, the entire upper echelon of the Lian Clan came out to welcome him, with Lian Chengyu and the old clan leader at the forefront, smiling obsequiously at the man.

At this moment, Yi Yun also saw clearly that this man was the sword-carrying man he had seen on the back of the giant beast when he first came to this world. His aura was extremely fierce, and even from a distance, it gave a heavy sense of oppression.

"Indeed, it's him!"

Yi Yun's heart stirred. This was the second time he had seen him.

The first time was when he had just transmigrated and encountered him near the Lian Clan, which was not a coincidence.

Thinking about it, Yi Yun knew that the Yunhuang region was a barren land, especially the Lian Clan, which was a poor and small tribe. Why would a high-level expert come to such a desolate place?

Given that this man, as an elite of the Jinlong Guard, had stayed near the Lian Clan for so long, there must be a reason. But what could it be?
