Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Pangu nodded and said to Li Bing.

"I've noticed you've been incredibly busy lately, has something happened?"

Li Bing sighed and said.

"According to my men's observations, the monsters have been moving around more and more frequently lately, and a beast tide will probably be coming soon."

Pangu originally thought that the attack of the monsters might take a while, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Don't you have that sturdy city wall? Why are you still so worried?"

Pangu said to Li Bing.

"After their repeated attacks, the city walls are probably no longer able to hold them off."

Li Bing said.

"Don't worry too much. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Don't think of everything as so bad. We'll definitely get through this safely."

Pangu said to Li Bing.

Li Bing nodded, then instructed his servants to prepare some wine and dishes, as he planned to have a good drink with Pangu.

"Let's not think about those worries now. Let's have a good drink later. We haven't had a proper drink since you came in with me."

Li Bing said to Pangu.

Pangu said with a smile.

"Alright, there's always a way out. Don't make yourself so tired."

Li Bing nodded.

……

Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes. He stood up and found that the gravity in the field was gradually reducing its effect on him.

"You've finished your cultivation? How do you feel?"

Mu Bai said to Ying Zheng after he finished his cultivation.

"I have finished transforming the monster's flesh, and now I feel my body is stronger."

Mu Bai nodded and said.

"In that case, we should go out too. Staying behind closed doors won't improve our strength; we need to go out and hone our skills."

Ying Zheng shared the same thought and followed Mu Bai out of the cave.

"You've been here for so long, you should know where we can hone our skills."

Ying Zheng said to Mu Bai.

After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Mu Bai thought for a moment and then said to him.

"I know a place where the monsters are relatively weak, which is perfect for us to hone our skills. Let's set off now!"

Ying Zheng nodded, and then Mu Bai led him eastward.

"Are there any particularly powerful individuals on this first level?" Ying Zheng asked Mu Bai.

Mu Bai thought for a moment and replied, "Most of those who can enter the Trial Tower to cultivate are geniuses from various places. Their strength is not bad, and at the very least, they are at the level of Dao Enlightenment."

Ying Zheng responded and then asked, "So the higher you go in this trial tower, the stronger the people inside become, and the more terrifying the gravity becomes, right?"

Mu Bai said, "That's for sure. Half a year ago, a half-step Transcendent Realm cultivator managed to reach the fourth level, which was quite frightening."

The higher you go in this Trial Tower, the stronger and more advanced the people inside become. To be able to reach the fourth level while only being a half-step Transcendent is truly terrifying.

"This time when I come in, I must break his record, surpass the fourth level, and reach the fifth level or even higher," Ying Zheng said to Mu Bai.

Upon hearing this, Mu Bai's face was full of disbelief.

"Although you are Senior Xuanluo's disciple, you are new here and have no idea how terrifying the Trial Tower is. It is extremely difficult to even climb one floor."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Some things depend on people to do them. You'll never know how strong you are if you don't try. People only have motivation when they have a goal."

If a person has no goal on the path of cultivation and spends their days in a daze, their achievements will inevitably be limited.

Mu Bai nodded: "What you said makes sense. As long as you are willing to do it, it is possible to achieve it under certain conditions."

"However, the higher you climb, the more gravity you experience. The first level has twice the gravity outside."

Now Ying Zheng has fully adapted to the gravity of the first level and no longer needs to use his Dao power to resist the pressure in the field.

Just then, Mu Bai suddenly stopped and said to Ying Zheng, "The monster's territory is just ahead. Are you ready?"

Mu Bai knew that their strength would be limited here, and their attack speed would be slower.

Ying Zheng nodded: "If there's an opportunity later, kill the monster. If not, return to the cave we stayed in before."

Upon hearing this, Mu Bai responded.

Meanwhile, not far in front of Mu Bai and Ying Zheng, a demonic beast was foraging for food.

"I'll make the first move, and you can support me from behind. After all, you're not as familiar with this place as I am," Mu Bai said to Ying Zheng, looking at the demonic beast.

After saying this, Mu Bai charged directly towards the demonic beast.

The monster that was foraging for food suddenly noticed Mu Bai approaching, stopped what it was doing, and stared at him warily.

"Today you'll become my meal!" Mu Bai shouted at the monster in front of him.

Mu Bai took out a long spear, because he knew that he couldn't break through the monster's defenses with his bare hands.

He moved swiftly, appearing directly in front of the monster and thrusting his spear into its back.

The demonic beast also moved, turning around to strike Mu Bai. But Mu Bai was agile and easily dodged the attack.

"Roar!"

Seeing that its attack had missed, the monster roared and charged towards Mu Bai.

Mu Bai leaped continuously, dodging the monster's attacks, while shouting to Ying Zheng, who was hiding not far away, "I'll hold it off, you hurry up and make your move!"

Upon hearing the shout, Ying Zheng charged towards the demon beast. At that moment, the demon beast was only focused on capturing Mu Bai and was completely unaware of Ying Zheng's approach.

Ying Zheng slammed his fist into the monster's head, but the monster was not injured. Instead, Ying Zheng was knocked back dozens of feet.

Seeing that Ying Zheng wasn't using any magical artifacts, Mu Bai hurriedly shouted, "You can't hurt it with your bare hands; you need to use a magical artifact to break through its defenses!"

Ying Zheng responded and then took out the Breaking Dao Spear.

When Mu Bai saw that Ying Zheng was also wielding a spear, he thought to himself that he must find an opportunity to spar with him another day.

At that moment, Mu Bai charged directly in front of the monster and thrust his spear into its head. Ying Zheng also moved swiftly, circling around to the monster's rear and thrusting his spear into its hind leg.

The two attacked together, causing the monster to howl in pain.

The monster suddenly struggled, shaking Mu Bai and Ying Zheng away.

"A god-slaying strike!"

Seeing that ordinary attacks could not cause any real damage to the monsters, Ying Zheng activated his ultimate move.

With Ying Zheng's low shout, a spear shadow materialized and slammed into the monster's thigh. Immediately afterwards, countless spear shadows materialized around the monster, bombarding it relentlessly.

Mu Bai didn't stop, continuing to attack the demonic beast. The demonic beast fought back fiercely, but the two of them dodged all its attacks.

Finally, with the combined efforts of Mu Bai and Ying Zheng, the monster collapsed to the ground. Ying Zheng moved swiftly, appearing in front of the monster and piercing its head with his spear.

Mu Bai walked up to Ying Zheng and said, "It seems you're quite strong. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to take down this monster so quickly."

Ying Zheng smiled, said nothing more, and put away the monster's corpse.

"Let's go back first. The Dao power stored in our bodies is no longer enough to continue fighting, and the smell of blood here will definitely attract other demonic beasts," Mu Bai said to Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Mu Bai was already somewhat exhausted. If he encountered other demonic beasts, he might not be able to hold on.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Go back and recover first. There's plenty of time, a little while won't make a difference."

After saying that, Mu Bai led Ying Zheng back to the cave they had been in before.

Ying Zheng took out the monster's corpse, cut it open, and extracted a demon core.

"I'll keep this demon core for now. The next time we hunt another demon beast, that one will be yours," Ying Zheng said to Mu Bai.

Mu Bai nodded.

"You contributed the most to hunting this monster, so you can keep it. I still have some left, no rush."

Afterwards, Mu Bai and Ying Zheng cut the monster's meat in two, took out a piece and roasted it over the fire.

“I don’t think you used your full strength just now. You could have taken down this monster by yourself, right?” Ying Zheng said to Mu Bai after everything was settled.

Mu Bai smiled awkwardly: "I just wanted to give you a chance to test yourself. But you are indeed very strong. Even without my help, you could have killed that monster."

"I see you use a gun too, when can we have a spar?"

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Let's talk about it when we've cultivated enough. It won't be too late to spar then."

Mu Bai responded.

By this time, the monster's meat was roasted until it smelled delicious. Mu Bai walked over, divided the meat into two portions, and handed one piece to Ying Zheng.

"Eat quickly, the meat of this monster is a great tonic, it's a good thing for us right now."

After saying that, Mu Bai wolfed down the meat in front of him, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing Mu Bai's expression, Ying Zheng smiled and finished his own portion clean.

Energy surged into Ying Zheng's body, and he immediately sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the energy of the demonic beast.

……

"You said you came to our world to find something, is that right?" Li Bing asked after pouring Pangu a full glass of wine.

Pangu nodded: "I came here to find the core of the primordial world, so that the primordial world can be separated from our world."

Upon hearing this, Li Bing frowned.

“I think it will be very difficult for you to obtain the Primordial Core. It is guarded by very powerful people.” Li Bing said to Pangu.

"How powerful is the one who protects it?" Pangu asked, taking a sip of wine.

Li Bing shook his head: "He should be a second-tier figure, extremely powerful. You are currently in the lower third tier, the gap between you and him is too great. I don't know enough about these things either."

Pangu also realized that there were many powerful beings in this primordial world. However, this only fueled his desire to win.

“Although this is difficult, I will still do it. Otherwise, the entire world will come to an end,” Pangu said.

Li Bing thought for a moment and said, "You and your friend must be the strongest people in your world, right? If you both fail, the others certainly won't survive."

Pangu nodded.

"So I need to start cultivating diligently from now on; I've already been delayed for too long. Do you know of any suitable places for cultivation?"

Li Bing replied, "Tomorrow I will take you to my cultivation room. There is a magic array there that can help you absorb Dao power more quickly."

Pangu said, "That's perfect. Don't your men have any news of my friend yet?"

Li Bing shook his head: "So much time has passed, and they still haven't found any trace of your friend. Do you think it's possible that he never came here at all?"

Pangu believed that Ying Zheng had definitely entered the primordial world to search for its core. He then shook his head at Li Bing.

"I'll search slowly. He must exist in this world. I'll go find him myself after I've cultivated to the Transcendent Realm."

Li Bing nodded, poured himself and Pangu another glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "This glass is for you. Without you, I certainly wouldn't be where I am today."

Pangu waved his hand: "You gave me a place to stay, so we're even. Besides, there's no need for this between us."

After saying this, Pangu raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Pangu, I have another request to make of you. I wonder if you can grant it?" Li Bing said.

Pangu nodded: "Just tell me what you need. If I can help you, I will definitely do so."

Upon hearing this, Li Bing said, "The beast tide may be coming soon. I would like to ask you to stay here and help me resist the beast tide."

Pangu thought Li Bing was about to say something important, so he immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely help you guard this place."

Li Bing laughed loudly, "With your help this time, we will definitely get through this safely."

……

Ying Zheng continuously channeled the energy within his body into himself, tempering his physical form.

He discovered that training in this trial tower was twice as fast as outside, which made him like this place even more.

A day passed quietly.

Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes. His physical body was much stronger than before, but his strength had not improved significantly.

After all, he had only recently stepped into the realm of half-transcendence and still needed time to mature.

Ying Zheng discovered that Mu Bai was still cultivating, and his aura was gradually stabilizing.

Ying Zheng didn't delay any longer and took out the Frost Armor that Xuan Luo had given him to study.

He remembered that Elder Fu had said that this Frost Armor was a divine-grade Dao artifact. From Elder Fu's words, he could tell that this thing was of extraordinary value.

Ying Zheng forced out a drop of his essence blood, which fell onto the Frost Armor.

In an instant, the Frost Armor emitted rays of light and began to adhere to Ying Zheng's body.

The Frost Armor sank directly into Ying Zheng's body. With a slight activation from Ying Zheng, the Frost Armor reappeared.

He was delighted to find that the Frost Armor's defensive capabilities were sufficient to withstand attacks from Transcendent beings.

The thirty-six-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus he previously possessed was no longer of much use to him, so he had already given it to Nuwa.

This Frost Armor perfectly compensates for his current weakness in defense.

At this moment, Mu Bai also woke up from his cultivation, and his aura was more stable than before.

"What are you wearing?" Mu Bai asked as he walked up to Ying Zheng.

"This is the Frost Armor my teacher gave me, to protect myself," Ying Zheng replied.

Upon hearing this, Mu Bai's eyes widened immediately.

"This is the Frost Armor, a divine-grade artifact! It seems Senior Xuanluo is truly too kind to you; otherwise, he would never have given you something like this." (End of Chapter)
