Bang...

A Purple Flame Wandering Dragon coalesced and emerged.

The surrounding gale winds continuously battered.

Xiao Yi wasn’t interested in continuously waving the Cold Flame Sword to block, so he simply gathered the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame to shield himself.

This is just the valley bottom.

The level of the gale winds here is far less fierce than those that keep intensifying as you ascend.

With this level of gale winds, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame is more than enough to withstand them.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath.

Then sat down casually.

Shaking his head, he sighed.

While constantly ascending, those increasingly stronger gale winds he could ignore.

But when he was nearly at the top of the valley, that raging storm was beyond what he could contend with.

He sensed that this raging storm far surpassed his level, even more so than a full-strength strike by a Martial Arts Great Power.

He could escape from a Martial Arts Great Power.

But that doesn’t mean he can charge out from under a Martial Arts Great Power’s blockade.

Now, the raging storm at the top of the valley is no different than being guarded by a Martial Arts Great Power, right?

No, there is a difference.

And that difference is that this raging storm is even stronger than a Martial Arts Great Power.

Just now, trying to rush out to the top of the valley, that feeling of powerlessness was even harder to break free from than the Martial Arts strangling power of the Beiyin Sect Great Elder.

In other words, the gap between him and the raging storm is too vast.

Trying to force his way out is simply impossible.

Besides, he absolutely did not believe that this prison-like valley bottom was part of the heritage trial.

After all, he was forcibly blasted here because of the hostility of the Inheritance Land.

In other words, being trapped here was an accident, an accident caused by the ’God Slaying Sword’.

He should not be able to participate in the subsequent heritage trial.

All he can do now is wait.

He remembers Chengfeng Hall Master saying he only had a month.

After a month, Chengfeng Hall Master will reopen this Inheritance Land.

He can only wait until then for Chengfeng Hall Master to come and rescue him.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took another deep breath.

Now, all he could do was sit and wait, use the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame to fend off the oncoming gale winds, with no other options.

As he knew, the Inheritance Land could not be casually opened.

Once opened, it was incredibly meticulous, with no room for errors.

No one would likely come in this one month period.

Xiao Yi shook his head and began sensing his Universe Ring.

Inside the Universe Ring, there were many treasures.

He wanted to see if there were any treasures in the Universe Ring that could help him escape.

Though the chances were slim, he had nothing else to do anyway.

Xiao Yi’s gaze first landed on the God Slaying Sword.

Since the God Slaying Sword was the ’culprit,’ he naturally noticed it first.

Whoosh...

The God Slaying Sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

"You’ve really gotten me into trouble." Xiao Yi looked helplessly at the God Slaying Sword in his hand.

Remembering that, ever since acquiring the God Slaying Sword in the Fengxu Secret Realm, he had not seriously looked at this sword.

Previously, his first impression of the God Slaying Sword was that it wasn’t very powerful.

Upon careful observation now, the entire sword was black.

The sword edge was blunt, and the tip was dull.

The whole sword didn’t have many peculiarities.

If used for battle, this blunt sword would be of no help at all.

The only efficacy might be its ability to counteract soul power.

This was something Xiao Yi had realized back in the Fengxu Secret Realm.

However, the soul master profession is scarce.

Among the opponents he’s faced, barely any were soul masters.

Some martial artists did practice soul master techniques, which he had encountered.

But they were only secondary practitioners, providing minimal assistance.

Therefore, he had never used the God Slaying Sword.

"Forget it." Xiao Yi shook his head, "Since I’ve had the fate to find you, I can’t just abandon you."

With that, Xiao Yi put away the God Slaying Sword.

Even if he couldn’t get out of here, failing the trial wasn’t a big deal.

Then he continued to assess the treasures within the Universe Ring.

"Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace?" Xiao Yi frowned.

In fact, he hadn’t used the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace for a long time.

This, the number one supreme treasure of the fire attribute, was given by Elder Yi.

However, most of the time, Xiao Yi only used it for refining.

The eight seals on the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace were as yet impossible for him to resolve.

He recalls when he was in the Eastern Domain, he unlocked the first seal.

When the seal was unlocked, the terrifying power of the fire attribute leveled a hundred miles around, and even Senior Swordswoman’s extreme cold ice couldn’t withstand it.

But since then, the second seal had remained unbreakable with his current strength.

Hence he never used it again.

"Heavenly Mechanism Abacus?" Xiao Yi frowned once more and rejected the idea again.

This is a formation supreme treasure, whereas the storm at the top of the valley is clearly a prohibition of sorts, not a formation.

After a while, Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly.

The Universe Ring seemingly held nothing to aid his escape.

Suddenly...

Xiao Yi’s gaze fixed on an inconspicuous corner of the Universe Ring.

There, an object continued to tremble.

"Wind Saint Vessel?" Xiao Yi’s face showed a look of confusion.

He couldn’t recall the last time he used the Wind Saint Vessel.

This was just a low-grade holy artifact.

With his rapidly rising strength, the Wind Saint Vessel had long become useless.

Whoosh...

A flash of light in Xiao Yi’s hand, and the Wind Saint Vessel appeared out of nowhere.

Whoosh...

Almost the moment the Wind Saint Vessel appeared, a white shadow shot out.

The white shadow stood in front of Xiao Yi, its empty eyes fixed on him.

A hideous and terrifying face reflected in Xiao Yi’s eyes.

But Xiao Yi was not at all concerned, nor was he the least bit afraid.

Because he could feel a sense of intimacy from the face.

He could feel a sense of closeness from those hollow eyes.

"Master."

Indeed, the white shadow that emerged was the Mist Demon.

The Mist Demon awkwardly and murmuringly uttered the words ’Master’.

"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled faintly.

"These past one or two years, I’ve been running around and exploring everywhere, never having a moment’s rest, and I almost forgot about you."

Originally, Xiao Yi thought he would roam Central Region alone.

But now he remembered, he also had a Mist Demon.

Though the Mist Demon is a demon, it also has spiritual intelligence.

Its intelligence is weak and its body incomplete, resulting in a hideous face and hollow, terrifying eyes.

However, its feelings toward him were more straightforward and real than anyone else’s.

"Master." The Mist Demon continued to call awkwardly.

"Alright." Xiao Yi smiled, "I’ll hang the Wind Saint Vessel on myself from now on, and let you out more often."

"Thank... Master." The Mist Demon said vaguely, but its meaning was very clear.

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled, glancing at the blood-red sickle in the Mist Demon’s hands.

"This sickle is too weak for now, I’ll get you a new one."

The blood-red sickle was merely around the level of a sub-saint artifact.

Over the years, with his travels, Xiao Yi had collected many spoils of war.

He didn’t have extremely powerful weapons, but he did have quite a few low-grade holy artifacts.

The Mist Demon shook its head, then its hollow eyes looked toward the surrounding gale winds.

"Mas... Master, I want..."

"Want what? Suit yourself." Xiao Yi busily fished out a bunch of low-grade holy devices from the Universe Ring, intending to give the Mist Demon a new weapon.

But he didn’t notice the Mist Demon’s gaze.

Upon getting Xiao Yi’s permission, the Mist Demon’s ghostly figure swiftly passed through the Purple Flame Wandering Dragon and arrived at the gale winds outside.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi immediately reacted.

"Absorbing the surrounding gale wind power?"

"Right, there’s wind evil within the Wind Saint Vessel."

"Come out."

Xiao Yi called in a low voice, summoning the Wind Saint Vessel.

The surrounding gale wind power was being absorbed at an extremely fast rate. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Both the Mist Demon and the Wind Saint Vessel were absorbing.

"Heh, since it’s no easy endeavor to come here, can’t go back empty-handed."

...

The third update.
