Chapter 30: Black Seal City
Upon receiving Xiao Ming's command, the spirit that was happily jumping between Xiao Ming's palms stopped itself and then slowly floated until it was at the level of Xiao Ming's face.
As if to avoid hurting Xiao Ming, the spirit felt that this distance was too close and advanced a few meters, stopping only when it was a meter closer to the rock.
After a few seconds of silence, the spirit expanded several times, and a green pillar of energy mixed with blue and pink flames was expelled, directly impacting the nearby rock.
The green energy pillar was about ten centimeters in diameter and the rock was cut as smoothly as cutting tofu.
Under this blow, the rock shot out in the opposite direction without any obstacle.
A faint ray of morning light entered the cave through the ten centimeter wide cylindrical hole in the center of the rock.
Looking through the hole, it looked like it was already morning.
'Is it morning already? Time has passed so quickly.'
Xiao Ming just looked at the scenery outside and stopped paying attention, instead focusing on the attack the spirit left on the rock.
'This kind of power is a bit surprising, for this kind of rock to be able to be broken through effortlessly, the Dou Master realm certainly can't do it, nor can an ordinary unarmed Dou Grandmaster. This must not be the limit of the energy pillar, huh, and this attack is also corrosive, it's a bit interesting, I think it must be the characteristics of the Green Rock Mystic Water that has been integrated'.
Xiao Ming looked at the ten centimeter wide hole in the rock.
He could only see that the hole was not as smooth as he had imagined, but rather pitted, and a blue-pink flame burned above these small holes.
The attack that the spirit had inflicted on the rock, the hole was really smooth at first, except that the spirit's attack seemed to leave some green liquid around it, and these were ignited by the flames that Xiao Ming had allowed the spirit to absorb once.
These things would cause continued damage to the hole.
The hole, originally smooth, gradually became jagged under this continuous damage.
'Speaking of which, this energy pillar would be unlocking long-range attacks, right? In the future, it would be possible to take out the Spirit against the enemy.'
The Spirit was so small that it was not easy to detect it at all.
Xiao Ming could even think of the scene when he released the Spirit and hit someone with a blow from the energy pillar near their face.
That scene, tsk tsk.
Anyway, it was easier for Xiao Ming to use the Sanyan Void Spirit Seal than to sneak up on someone.
However, at the end of the thought, Xiao Ming suddenly lost his voice and laughed.
'Hahahaha, this, why am I always thinking of sneaking up on people these days?'
Speaking of the two recent battles, Xiao Ming had attacked first and by surprise to eliminate the other party's major force before slowly fighting the others.
Xiao Ming's integrity could not be blamed, after all, the people he sneaks attacked were all stronger than him, and all of them were also guys who were even less upstanding than him, so it was only human nature for him to sneak attack, and it would be easier in the end.
Besides, in the cultivation world, there is no such thing as benevolence or morality.
Especially here in the Black-Corner Region, Xiao Ming also understood that it was foolish to talk about it in the Black-Corner Region.
There was no psychological burden in sneaking up on others.
After laughing, Xiao Ming did not think about this matter but instead thought that since it was already dawning outside, he should also leave Greenyan City.
So he stood up and used his mind to command the spirit.
"Expel the rock."
As soon as the voice fell, a loud sound rang out in space, shaking Xiao Ming so much that he couldn't help but frown at the shrill sound that made people's ears ring.
...
Outside, on the cliff.
Boom!
A rock fell from the sky and struck the ground, splitting into pieces and unleashing gusts of dust, with hints of blue-pink flames interspersed among the gray mist.
A human figure followed, falling from the sky and landing on the ground. The strong wind from the figure's landing blew away the gray mist.
Xiao Ming watched it leap down from such a high place.
He did not use any Dou Qi to protect himself, but his legs did not feel any discomfort.
He couldn't help but nod once again satisfied by the strength of his own body.
He pulled a new set of black robes from his ring and put them on.
First, he looked at the sun to confirm the exact time of day.
Then, he swept to find the direction he had come from yesterday.
Energy surged from the bottom of Xiao Ming's feet and shot off into the distance.
That day, Xiao Ming left Greenyan Town and headed for his next destination.
...
Fourteen days later, at the top of a mountain range, a black-clad figure gazed into the distance from a great height.
"This is Black Seal City, isn't it?"
The black-robed figure looked down at the foot of the mountain range and said in a low voice.
There was a huge city made of coal-black rocks showing in a vague outline, and at the square gate of the city, small black dots, like ants, could be faintly seen converging and pouring into the huge open mouth of Black Seal City.
The man on top of the mountain was none other than Xiao Ming, who had been running toward Black Seal City ever since he left Greenyan Town.
It was not correct to say that he was in a hurry, because he wanted to train, Xiao Ming's speed was not really fast, it could be described as a walk.
Moreover, Black-Corner Region was so chaotic that Xiao Ming often encountered thieves, so it took him ten days to reach Black Seal City, otherwise, it wouldn't have taken him so long.
During these ten days, Xiao Ming felt that he had improved a lot, not to mention that his own Dou Qi had become more solid, his various means of fighting the enemy had become more powerful, and his realm had also stabilized.
And after seeing all sorts of disgusting things in the Black-Corner Region, Xiao Ming even felt that his psychological resilience had improved significantly.
...
The reason for walking to Black Seal City near the edge of Black-Corner Region, Xiao Ming naturally had a purpose, other than the big annual auction to be held in Black Seal City in a few days.
The purpose of Xiao Ming was naturally the secret realm mentioned by the simulator.
The exact location of the secret realm this time was known to Xiao Ming.
The exact location had been mentioned in a simulation, and it was within the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region, on the outskirts of Black Seal City.
That was why Xiao Ming had rushed to Black Seal City.
'Black Seal City is a city that belongs to the jurisdiction of the Eight Gates, this Eight Gates can be said to be an ancient power in the Black-Corner Region, extremely strong, their leader Yuan Yi is a strong person in the top ten of the Black Ranking of the Black-Corner Region, every time there is an auction meeting in Black Seal City, it is organized by the Eight Gates.'
'This time the secret realm was opened before the big auction held in Black Seal City, I fear that it will attract many forces, and if they are forces that came to participate in the auction, they will not be weak.'
Every time Black Seal City held an auction because every time there were many good things, such as Di Class's Dou Techniques, seventh tier pills or so.
All the Black-Corner Region powers would send representatives to attend, and sometimes they even attracted powers from outside Black-Corner Region.
Black Corner Territory is extremely chaotic, there are assassinations everywhere and those who can come are naturally strong.
In such a situation, when those powerful ones find out that there is an opening movement from a secret realm, will they let it go?
Just thinking about it, you know it is impossible.
Apart from these great powers, some lone cultivators were also gathering in Black Seal City.
It was important to know that, among these people, the Dou Spirit were not uncommon, and the Dou King were also not absent.
The lone cultivators were the craziest about opportunities like the secret realm, and even the various major powers combined could not push them away when they see the secret realm.
People die for money, birds die for food, and there are few ways for casual cultivators to raise their level, and they would seize any opportunity.
'Thinking about it like this, this trip to the secret realm is quite dangerous, but wasn't this situation predicted a long time ago? How can I doubt when the matter is at a critical point.''
Xiao Ming shook his head and executed his Dou Qi and sped towards the mountain range below.
As long as he was careful, the strong people above Dou King would not notice someone like him who was only a Dou Grandmaster.
As for Dou Spirit, he was not afraid.
If he couldn't win a fight, couldn't he run away?
Besides, this was just an adventure, so it was naturally good if he could get something, but there was no need to force it if he couldn't.
In these fourteen days, he had simulated life two more times, and although the results were different and his luck was relatively nil in not getting anything good, the process of these two times also proved that nothing would happen if he was careful.
