Liou Yuan took out the Fixed Star Compass to compare, and having passed two mountains was exactly ten days.

"That is to say, there are still ten days left, and this Outer Sect training session will be over." Liou Yuan calculated on his fingers and deduced the time when this Erosion Land would close.

His days in the Erosion Land were quite fulfilling, working busily without noticing that the exploration was about to end.

"The timing is just right; those diligent Outer Sect disciples have already reaped bountiful rewards, waiting for me to harvest."

Liou Yuan let out a sinister laugh.

Currently, his strength has surged, and he is confident in defeating the likes of Yan Yingsi and Wang Ze Wen.

As for other Outer Sect disciples, they’re just easy targets.

Liou Yuan put on a garment and stepped out of the cave he had dug.

Due to the flames from the dying Purifying Dark Demon, although Liou Yuan’s injuries healed because of the Vascular Formation and Meridian Opening Elixir, his head remained bald, with only a thin layer of black hair.

He touched his upright, slightly prickly head and grinned: "Let’s get started!"

Activating the Treading Wave Skill, Liou Yuan’s figure sped through the canyon toward the mouth of the valley.

That simplified version of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array was still at the valley entrance.

Although no one breached it, Liou Yuan noticed traces of activation within the array as he passed by.

This made Liou Yuan raise his eyebrows.

It proved that during his seclusion, some dim-witted fellows entered the canyon only to be repelled by the Refined Gold Mountain-breaking Array.

"This simplified version of the Refined Gold Mountain-breaking Array can at most hold off a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer cultivator for a moment. Being repelled by it proves the intruder’s strength didn’t reach Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer."

Liou Yuan muttered, secretly grateful.

Luckily, he had acquired the "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation" and possessed a talent for array formation; otherwise, he couldn’t have trained without worry within this Erosion Land.

With that thought, Liou Yuan activated his Evil Eyes to survey the surroundings.

Logically speaking, after being repelled by the array, that intruder should retreat sensibly.

But to prevent any possibility, Liou Yuan still activated the Evil Eyes to check around.

After scanning, he indeed detected a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer Spiritual Power fluctuation.

That Spiritual Power fluctuation was less than ten miles from the valley entrance, hidden beneath a depression outside the canyon.

"Could it be this fellow?" Liou Yuan murmured, as he spoke, the Night Concealing Mask on his face activated, his figure merging into the darkness.

He held the Canglan Sword as he slowly approached in that direction.

Nearing the surrounding area of the depression, Liou Yuan spotted scattered remnants of Star Erosion beasts, whose stone beads had already been collected.

Clearly, they were slain by the person within the depression.

Seeing this, Liou Yuan’s grin widened, thinking to himself: "Whether or not he breached my array, since we’ve encountered each other, there’s no reason to let him leave unharmed."

Liou Yuan continued forward, soon spotting that figure.

He was lying sideways in deep sleep, his body burly like an ox, snoring thunderously—Liou Yuan could hear it even from outside the depression.

This is the Erosion Land, the relaxed demeanor of this person made Liou Yuan narrow his eyes.

Generally, those who dare to sleep without any precautions, with the sky as their cover and the ground as their bed, are either extremely powerful due to fearlessness,

or just clueless.

The clueless can’t survive this long.

The remaining possibility is that of formidable strength.

This made Liou Yuan put away his underestimation, raising the Canglan Sword, ready to unleash the Rain Curtain Stealth Sword Skill for a lesson.

Just as the sword light in Liou Yuan’s hand was about to burst forth,

his eyes suddenly widened, seeing something, and he forcibly restrained his sword’s momentum.

The more he looked at that back, the more familiar it seemed, the peculiarity on his face grew.

He immediately used the Night Concealing Mask to slip to the man’s other side.

As expected, he saw Qiu Ming’s broad-featured youthful face.

He’s not going to attack Qiu Ming, obviously.

Cursing inwardly: "This oaf, treating here like Five Extremes Mountain."

As for why Qiu Ming appeared here, the answer was obvious.

He must have inquired about Liou Yuan’s location, arriving early, only to be blocked by the Refined Gold Mountain-breaking Array.

Liou Yuan knows Qiu Ming’s strength well; despite being at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, ordinary Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer can’t beat him.

He should be able to break through the array Liou Yuan set up.

But precisely because it’s Liou Yuan’s array, Qiu Ming chose not to break it, opting instead to retreat and wait outside the valley for him.

Understanding the whole situation, Liou Yuan immediately revealed himself, lightly kicking Qiu Ming’s calf, teasing, "Wake up, Wei Miaomeng is looking for you."
