Chapter 005: Going Out
Hurry up and get out of here, at this moment, a commotion of fighting broke out above, mixed with several angry curses. Out of curiosity, and knowing that Yun Yang was clearly quite formidable now, and that ordinary people could not do much to him, he slowly flew up.
Just as he was contemplating whether to see if there was anything interesting, a sudden noise came from above, followed by a figure plummeting straight down. Then, dust swirled up, the ground shook a few times, and there was no more movement. ... Yun Yang went over to take a look, and on the ground lay a meat pie, ugh ...
Therefore, the current issue is to acquire something to arm oneself first; otherwise, it would be strange to go out and not be laughed at by others.
The primordial infant within the primordial infant? What a strange primordial infant this is. How are we supposed to cultivate in the future
However, our esteemed master is now utterly impoverished, as Yang Tian had exhausted all usable magical artifacts and elixirs during his tribulation. Currently, there is not even a scrap of iron left in the cave dwelling. Aside from the crystals used for the cave's formation, only a few inferior ones remain, while the others were certainly utilized for the formation during the tribulation. What bad luck.
At this moment, the person alone on the left clearly saw Yun Yang, and their expression suddenly changed
Feeling down is one thing, but life must go on. Look, this little fellow is currently amusing that Soul-Devouring Demon. After successfully achieving the status of a Loose Immortal, he no longer fears the Soul-Devouring Demon, while this little creature clearly shows a strong fear of him. How the tables have turned! There was a time when it almost became a snack for him.
In addition to this issue, there is another problem that must be resolved. It seems that Yun Yang has now become a master. According to the terminology of the cultivation world, a Loose Immortal is considered an invincible existence in this realm. As long as one does not provoke a more powerful Loose Immortal or encounter a freak with a celestial artifact in hand, one can essentially walk through this world with confidence.
Seeing that there is nothing worthwhile to stay for, Yun Yang has left the cave dwelling and should take a stroll outside to see if he can find someone to understand the situation, and whether it is possible to return to Earth. If he can go back, hmph.
Indeed, one comes and goes empty-handed, except for a decent set of clothes. After all, the attire of cultivators is generally acceptable. There is nothing else; a few low-grade spirit stones have been left for that little bat to prevent it from starving. Although there is not much soul energy for it to consume, a few spirit stones should last it for about a year and a half. Yun Yang learned by chance that this little creature also feeds on spirit stones.
Several days have passed since the tribulation, and Yun Yang still finds everything incredibly unbelievable. It was already quite extraordinary that he inexplicably crossed over, and after coming into contact with some knowledge of cultivation, his nerves had become quite tough. However, after successfully achieving the body of a Loose Immortal and inexplicably gaining a Nascent Soul within him after overcoming the tribulation, what is this all about
Upon hearing that, Su Youming felt a wave of regret. Why was he still provoking Yang Tian? The two had never gotten along, and now, if Yang Tian truly took advantage of the situation to retaliate, it would be a futile end for him. He needed to stabilize the situation first; it seemed this time had been a wasted effort.
It is not surprising that he fell; after all, who told him to be overly excited? Seeing the dark mist below, he assumed it was solid ground and stepped down forcefully, which he deserved. In fact, with his cultivation level, he could have flown effortlessly. However, he currently does not even possess the most basic flying sword, and he lacks experience in sword control. He certainly could not keep up with sword flight. Relying solely on his physical ability to fly, while he could float, it does not mean he could fly well. He had not practiced at all. Originally, he intended to practice a bit while going out, but instead, he ended up falling first. In fact, with his cultivation level, he could have flown effortlessly.

However, as a novice in cultivation at https://www.hetushu.com, although I have already become a loose immortal, apart from a bit of common knowledge left by Yang Tian, I am completely ignorant of other matters such as spells, formations, and alchemy. Aside from having practiced a little in restriction techniques before, I have no means to deal with this little soul-capturing demon. How wonderful it would be if I could completely subdue it, after all, it is a spiritual entity.
As the cave was located halfway up the peak, Yun Yang could only descend slowly. The reason why Yunli Peak was named as such was undoubtedly because it was extremely high. Yun Yang did not dare to descend too quickly; if he were to lose control and fall to his death, who would he turn to for lamentation? Moreover, it would certainly make headlines, being the first loose immortal expert to die from a fall. Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine. After pausing several times in between, he finally reached the foot of the mountain. Before he could steady his footing, darkness enveloped him, and he fell into the dense, primordial forest.
I...,” Yun Yang felt frustrated, "Brother, I don’t even know you, why are you cursing at me as soon as we meet?" Yun Yang was unaware that this person was an enemy of Yang Tian, a rogue cultivator of ambiguous morality named Su Youming. The two had engaged in numerous deadly battles in the past, so upon seeing Yun Yang, who now resembled Yang Tian, he assumed he had come to take advantage of the situation and thus vented his anger with curses.
At that moment, seeing Yun Yang suddenly appear, everyone was startled, thinking that help had arrived. They hurriedly tried to get up, but to their surprise, each of them was seriously injured and fell back down with a thud, which startled Yun Yang as well.
Yun Yang was unable to interject for a moment, so he was content to watch the spectacle, after all, one who does not take advantage of a bargain is a fool. He would deal with them once they grew tired of arguing, it had been a long time since he had engaged in underhanded dealings, hehe
"Bah, what equal exchange? You took a piece of worthless stone, used it as a distraction to cast a spell, and claimed it was a celestial stone, deceiving others into trading for spiritual artifacts. Is there such a cheap trick in the *illustrated* business? It's surprising that a master in the tribulation stage like you could stoop so low. Otherwise, why did you run away as soon as we found you? We at the Fengyi Sect will definitely not let you off easily" said Yi Minzi, with a somewhat irritable tone.
I..." said Yi Yangzi and others, unable to express their grievances, "Do you think we want this? Just look at the treasures we are using. Who told that brat to be the sole grandson of our sect leader? He is spoiled beyond measure, and he even took the sect's treasured artifact to play with.
After walking for several days, we arrived at the foot of a peculiar mountain. It is considered strange because the base of the mountain is small while the peak is large, resembling a cone that pierces through the forest. At the foot of the mountain, there is a small lake, and the surroundings are quite picturesque, yet it seems to lack something. Yun Yang looked around carefully and finally discovered that there were hardly any animals present; even the water contained no fish, which was quite eerie.
After several days of trekking, Yunyang was finally able to fly with ease. However, within a few days, he grew weary of flying, as his speed was only slightly faster than walking, barely qualifying as a light jog. Moreover, he was constantly flying at the treetops, which became monotonous and uninteresting. Another reason for his discontent was that due to his slow speed and low altitude, he frequently collided with various objects. For instance, when startled by birds in the forest, they would surge upwards in a flurry, often leaving him covered in feathers. He also encountered peculiar animals that enjoyed ambushing flying creatures, and a careless moment could lead to an unpleasant encounter. Thus, after a few days, Yunyang decided to stop flying altogether and instead wandered through the forest, embarking on a journey akin to that of primitive humans.
Because on the forehead of this primordial infant, there is a lightning-like symbol, while the body of the primordial infant is evenly divided by five types of energy, with five distinct colors, creating a vibrant and colorful appearance
When he hurriedly arrived at the top of the conical mountain with the books, he discovered that the surface was indeed flat, and there were already four individuals lying there. Their attire clearly indicated that they were cultivators, all glaring at each other with hostility. However, the situation was clearly three against one, yet none of them were in a better condition than the others, as they all lacked the strength to rise again, evidently having sustained serious injuries.
Su Youming wanted to clarify to Yang Tian: "Yang Demon, don’t listen to their nonsense. I was merely engaging in an equal exchange with their disciples and did not steal anything from them..."
It is indeed strange, but this primordial infant does not seem to be under Yun Yang's control; it appears to exist as an independent entity. Aside from being able to delve into spiritual awareness, it is incapable of doing anything else. Fortunately, the main body is also a primordial infant; otherwise, it would have been rendered useless.
A few days later, Yun Yang had indeed completed the study of the basic formations and restriction techniques left by Yang Tian. In fact, there was nothing particularly profound; it was merely a few commonly used formations, such as the Gathering Spirit Formation, Defensive Formation, and Concealment Formation. The restriction techniques were even fewer, just a few that were repeated. The cultivation method, aside from the Tianxin Jue, had some utility, while the other basic cultivation techniques were essentially useless, so he simply ignored them. Of course, it cannot be said that Yang Tian's level in these areas was poor; otherwise, he would not have been able to reach the tribulation stage as a loose cultivator. However, the things he left behind were indeed quite subpar. The restriction techniques were even fewer, just a few that were repeated.

However, the things he left behind were indeed quite subpar.
Fortunately, as a wandering immortal, although his reputation did not match his abilities, and aside from his level of cultivation, everything else was rather trivial, he would not encounter any significant issues. The primeval forest, despite being fraught with dangers, remained quite manageable for him.
At this moment, the other three individuals also reacted. Although they did not know Yang Tian, they sensed an opportunity upon seeing the apparent discord between the two. Thus, a slightly plump middle-aged man in the middle spoke up: "I do not know where you hail from, esteemed brother. I am Yi Yangzi from the Mingyuan Star Fengyi Sect. These are my junior brothers, Yi Chunzi and Yi Minzi. My three brothers and I have been tracking down the thief who stole important items from our sect to this place. Unexpectedly, this thief is audacious and has set a trap that resulted in the death of our junior brother, Yi Chizi, and has severely injured us in the ensuing struggle. We hope, esteemed brother, that you will show your noble righteousness and lend us a helping hand."
Although it is not possible, the Soul Capturing Demon cannot leave the cave, so there will be plenty of time in the future. Hehe. The main issue at present is to understand what is going on with the Nascent Soul within me, but after thoroughly reviewing the materials left by Yang Tian, I have not gained any insights. It seems I can only wait until I get out to learn more.
"Damn, who told you to be so wealthy? You give every disciple under your door a spiritual weapon, and he's an idiot at that. Anyway, he exchanged with me on equal terms. Are you still going to talk about rules?"
In fact, the Fengyi Sect is merely a third-rate sect, with only a few dozen members. The only true expert among them is the sect leader, Feng Tianzi. Possessing a magical artifact of spiritual level is already considered exceptional. This time, Su Youming managed to escape empty-handed, which is quite outrageous. Therefore, they dispatched the Four Great Protectors to pursue him, but now both sides have suffered heavy losses.
After walking for several dozen days, Yun Yang still had not seen the boundary of the forest. Fortunately, he himself had no particular purpose, treating it as an outing. Although he occasionally practiced his techniques, the obviously incomplete Tianxin Jue had no effect on his current cultivation, so he simply stopped practicing. He had no concept of future cultivation, and as for the minor heavenly tribulation a hundred years later, pfft, that was still a long way off, no need to be so anxious.

Fortunately, his cultivation was evident, and the pressure emanating from the scattered immortals made even the fierce beasts hesitate to act against him. Occasionally, those who were not afraid of death would be easily dealt with by a mere gesture from him.
"Damn Yang the Great Demon, how do you have the time to float around here? Aren't you afraid of being struck down by heavenly tribulations at any moment? You still dare to wander about."
