After walking for a few hours, Lin Feng encountered many strange things along the way. This was nothing to him, but what surprised him was that Tangyuan seemed to know everything, from spiritual medicines to various demon beasts to all kinds of strange wild animals and insects. There was nothing Tangyuan didn’t recognize, which made Lin Feng feel like he’d discovered a treasure.

Stopping under a giant tree, Lin Feng sat down to rest and glanced at Tangyuan, who was lying sleepily on his shoulder. He flicked his finger lightly, and Tangyuan immediately woke up, grinning at Lin Feng in frustration and shouting, "Why abuse the beast like this? This divine beast needs to sleep, don’t disturb me!"

"I’m curious, how do you know all these things?" Lin Feng looked at Tangyuan and asked directly.

"What’s so strange about that? When this divine beast has nothing to do, I’ve wandered tens of thousands of miles around, that’s nothing unusual," Tangyuan replied, rolling its eyes at Lin Feng, feeling utterly exasperated. It was really quite irked; it barely had time to sleep when around Lin Feng, it was practically torture!

"I never expected you to have such experiences," Lin Feng said with a smile as he looked at Tangyuan.

"Of course. This divine beast comes and goes as it pleases, there’s no place it hasn’t been, and nothing it doesn’t know," Tangyuan replied with great pride. It’s been alive for hundreds of years, and if it hadn’t met Lin Feng, who knows where it would be now? Knowing these things? That’s nothing special, really.

"Do you know if there’s a place near Ning City where I can find a cultivation technique to transform Yuan Gang?" Lin Feng asked Tangyuan again. He wanted to know more about this; relying on nature alone, he estimated it would take hundreds of years to complete the transformation, which was clearly not what he wanted. Since Tangyuan seemed to know everything, he might as well ask.

"Here you go!" Tangyuan rolled its eyes at Lin Feng and then opened its mouth to spit out an old-looking book, tossing it to Lin Feng before adding, "Research it yourself, don’t disturb my sleep!"

After that, Tangyuan closed its eyes and went back to sleep. Lin Feng looked at the book in his hand, feeling a bit speechless. He hadn’t expected Tangyuan would actually spit out a book. Ignoring the sleeping Tangyuan, he began to seriously study the book.

The book had no title, and its origins were unknown, but it described exactly the cultivation technique Lin Feng needed to transform Yuan Gang, which made his eyes light up. Without thinking too much about other things, he began to study it in earnest.

The cultivation technique was simple; Lin Feng understood the specific method after reading it just once. Following the method described in the cultivation technique, he suddenly felt a difference from before: he could sense the existence of Yuan Energy within him, which delighted him, and he became fully engrossed in his cultivation...

At dawn the next day, Lin Feng woke up, feeling the change in Yuan Energy within him, and his heart was filled with hope. But upon careful examination, he discovered that compared to all his Gang Qi, that thread of Yuan Energy was almost nonexistent. Though he had the cultivation technique for transformation, relying solely on himself for transformation might take years to complete, which left him quite dissatisfied.

He began to reanalyze the transformation technique in his mind, wanting to improve its efficiency, but to his frustration, despite his thorough research and numerous attempts, none of his methods succeeded. This situation was quite bizarre!

Could it be that this Yuangang transformation can only be done in this way?

Lin Feng was deeply confused; he truly wanted to understand what was going on. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation; in the past, he had modified many cultivation techniques, and had never run into such issues. Why such a method appeared was puzzling.

Unable to figure things out, Lin Feng stopped thinking about it and got up to head towards Ning City, while Tangyuan continued to sleep soundly on his shoulder.

The forest was alive with the sounds of various insects and some running wild animals, creating a lively atmosphere. As Lin Feng strolled through the woods, he suddenly felt something special; this Myriad Heavens Divine Realm was different from what he had imagined. Once upon a time, on the lower level, he was invincible, but now, he was unexpectedly fragile.

Moreover, there were even more frustrating matters in his heart: the women were still inside the Cave Heaven Mansion, and if he couldn’t find a solution, they would have no choice but to stay inside and couldn’t come out to help him. Everything depended on him alone!

Feeling the changes within his heart, Lin Feng was a mix of laughter and speechless; he was not any more relaxed than he was on the lower level, it was even more oppressive. If his strength didn’t improve, he would be facing death. The world of cultivators is a place of survival of the fittest, and for the women, for himself, he could only find a way to quickly complete transforming Yuan Gang to thoroughly integrate into this unfamiliar world.

He also began determining some other methods to speed up the transformation of Yuan Gang. Based on current circumstances, it seemed there were only two alternative methods: alchemy and the use of special formations. But both required time to study, and he temporarily had no better solution.

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. Only when Tangyuan had slept enough did it wake up and chat with Lin Feng for a while; otherwise, Lin Feng was alone on the road. Yet he didn’t dare use the Thousand Miles in One Step recklessly; the forest was filled with unknown dangers, and if he accidentally triggered a powerful demon beast, he could be in danger, so he could only walk. Right now, he really wanted to see what the cities in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm were like, and he wanted to find some things he needed within the realm.

On this day, Lin Feng found the journey quite tedious, so he sat on a stone and pondered things, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest approached him!

"Human, you are very interesting! I don’t know how you managed to enter my territory; it’s been a thousand years since I last encountered a human ascender!" A bizarre-looking demon beast appeared before Lin Feng and spoke curiously.

This demon beast was strange; it had a somewhat bull-like head with three round horns, a body like a fiery horse but with six short legs, and its tail—two identical tails, making it truly peculiar. Lin Feng hadn’t expected to encounter such a beast!

"I wandered in by mistake, without any ill intent, so forgive any offense!" Lin Feng replied politely to the demon beast in front of him. He sensed danger from this strange beast and did not wish to confront it unnecessarily.

"I think the same; I’ve seen many human cultivators, but it’s curious how someone so weak wandered into my territory. I’m curious how you survived." The demon beast eyed Lin Feng up and down, casually chatting. It was genuinely curious how a human so weak had reached this place, considering the surrounding area was quite complex, and ordinarily, other demon beasts would not dare enter its territory. Yet this human walked here—a real miracle.

"Well... I avoided the dangers along the way..." Hearing the demon beast’s remark, Lin Feng immediately explained; it was true. If it hadn’t been for his divine sense covering over a hundred miles, he couldn’t have anticipated the danger and reached here so easily.

"Interesting!" The demon beast widened its eyes and looked at Lin Feng. It became more curious about this young man, and after speaking, the beast sat next to Lin Feng, its basin-sized eyes blinking continuously, as if examining a treasure.

Feeling the beast’s gaze upon him, Lin Feng was quite uncomfortable, and unable to bear it, he asked, "What’s so interesting about me?"

"It’s strange; why do I feel a sense of danger from you?" The demon beast asked, perplexed. It truly couldn’t understand why this feeling persisted, but it knew the circumstance was genuine because its instincts were usually correct.

"I don’t know," Lin Feng replied lightly to the beast. After speaking, he intended to leave, staying with such a strange demon beast made him uneasy.

"Wait a moment!" As Lin Feng was about to leave, the demon beast stood up swiftly and called out.

"What is it?" Lin Feng turned back to look at the beast, asking curiously.

"Nothing really, just to remind you, not every demon beast in this forest is like me. Be careful as you move forward to avoid danger; my old friends are man-eaters!" The demon beast said and then strolled away. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Receiving the reminder from this demon beast, Lin Feng’s alertness heightened; even without this beast appearing, he was quite cautious. Given his current strength, he really wasn’t formidable in this area, and if he encountered one of those so-called demon kings, he might not escape.

With that vigilance, Lin Feng continued his journey. The sleeping Tangyuan on his shoulder made the journey quite dull.
