Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 794 - 362: Fourth Rank Middle Grade; Leaving Early
"If it’s just the Water Lake Rat breaking through to the Fourth Rank Middle Grade, even if it possesses the True Dragon Bloodline, it’s not a big deal."
"But with you in the equation, it’s a completely different story!"
The Nine Nether Elder’s tone was profound, as if hinting at something.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s heart instantly tightened, and a chill rose up his spine.
Whether it was the illusions during the previous Heart Demon Tribulation or the current conversation with the Nine Nether Elder, it all seemed to imply that he knew some secrets about Xu Ping.
This undoubtedly made Xu Ping uneasy.
If it were under normal circumstances, he would be reluctant to have more contact with the other party, but now the threat from the Heaven-Suppressing Sect was undoubtedly much greater than that of the Nine Nether Elder.
This is also the reason why he chose to cooperate with the other party.
"Does senior have any countermeasures?"
Xu Ping suppressed the various thoughts in his mind and asked solemnly.
After a moment of silence, the Nine Nether Elder slowly spoke: "The best method is to leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons as soon as possible, head to the Celestial South Sea, and establish the Space Stability Array in advance."
"With the current chaotic situation in the Nanchuan Realm, finding the two of you in the vast sea of people is not an easy task."
"As long as our actions are quick and secretive enough, we can complete the escape before they realize it."
"Even if someone does pursue us to the Celestial South Sea, with the current stability of the space channel, our chances of passing through are not small."
"Leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons in advance and establish the Array?"
Listening to the Nine Nether Elder’s plan, Xu Ping thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, once the array materials are fully gathered, we shall head to the Celestial South Sea at once."
Currently, more than half of the materials needed for the Space Stability Array have been collected, and those rare treasured resources are being gradually secured through various channels in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
At the current pace, it would take at most another half year to gather all the materials completely.
By that time, the cultivation of the Water Lake Rat after its breakthrough would also be fully stabilized, which is the best timing to leave.
Moreover, half a year is sufficient for the external world’s attention on the breakthrough of the Water Lake Rat to diminish, avoiding too much attention.
After discussing some specific details in depth, Hongyi took his leave.
Xu Ping stayed alone in the grand hall, lost in thought.
It wasn’t until the moon rose, enveloping the night in deep darkness, that he got up and left the grand hall, heading into the depths of the underground cave residence.
...
In the underground cave residence, the Water Lake Rat was coiled in the center of the massive cold jade pool, emitting a powerful aura entirely different from before.
The entire pool was enveloped in a faint golden light, a phenomenon brought about by the awakening of its True Dragon Bloodline.
Although there was no obvious change in its size after this breakthrough, the pressure it emanated was more than doubled.
Especially the dragon might far exceeded that of the Cyan Evil Flood Dragon encountered before.
Clearly, the True Dragon Bloodline within it had been fully awakened.
Its eyes had also undergone a significant transformation, with a circle of golden light now surrounding its once black pupils, looking both mysterious and majestic, like the true descendants of the Dragon Race.
Seeing Xu Ping arrive, the Water Lake Rat immediately opened its eyes and flashed a fawning smile:
"Thank you, master, for your assistance; only then could I achieve the Fourth Rank Middle Grade and awaken the True Dragon Bloodline."
"Hmm."
Xu Ping nodded slightly, carefully sensing the changes in the Water Lake Rat’s aura, feeling much better at heart.
Despite the increasingly complex external situation, the successful breakthrough of the Water Lake Rat was undoubtedly a great piece of news.
The Water Lake Rat’s breakthrough to the Fourth Rank Middle Grade provided a significantly different level of assistance.
"You have just made your breakthrough and, although you’ve successfully awakened your True Dragon Bloodline, your foundation isn’t stable yet. In the coming time, focus on stabilizing your cultivation." Xu Ping advised earnestly.
"Yes, master!"
The Water Lake Rat responded respectfully.
Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction and observed the Water Lake Rat’s state closely once more.
After confirming that there were no hidden dangers left from its breakthrough process, he turned and left the cave residence.
Now, the most important thing is to gather the remaining array materials quickly and then leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons quietly.
...
Time flew by, and more than half a year slipped by quietly like a fleeting moment.
During this period, the situation in the Nanchuan Realm grew increasingly complex.
Yet, amidst this chaotic situation, the actions of Xu Ping and Hongyi progressed unusually smoothly.
The last few rare materials needed for the Space Stability Array were finally all collected.
Now, everything was ready, and it was time to leave.
Blue Water Peak.
Xu Ping looked at the radiant woman before him, with a complicated feeling in his heart, but he didn’t show any of it on his face, instead smiling and saying:
"Sister Zhaoxue, I have to go out with Hong Daoyou to handle some matters. We may be away for some time."
He didn’t tell the truth, nor could he reveal the truth.
At such a time, the less True Monarch Lan Ling knew, the safer it was for her.
"Going out to handle matters?"
True Monarch Lan Ling hesitated for a moment but didn’t ask further, simply reminding Xu Ping to stay safe.
"Rest assured, sister, with Hong Daoyou around, safety is assured."
Xu Ping hugged True Monarch Lan Ling, savoring the soft warmth and fragrance of the woman in his embrace.
After lingering for a while, Xu Ping left Blue Water Peak.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two brilliant streaks of Escape Light shot across the sky, like meteors flying towards the distance.
The speed of the Escape Light was extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, it had flown out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Inside the Escape Light, Xu Ping couldn’t resist turning back, seeing the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons bathed in the sunset, appearing extraordinarily beautiful, the familiar mountains and buildings gradually shrinking from view.
