Chapter 121: It Would Be Good Just to Get In Next Year

Everyone nodded one after another, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the rich spiritual Qi in the surroundings.

After cultivating for a while, Zhang Yi suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Xiao Pu, and asked, "Xiao Pu, when you and the Little Earth Dragon went out to scout earlier, did you hear them discussing how to enter the Hexinquyu?"

Xiao Pu blinked her big, watery eyes and said in a milky voice, "Yes, they said we have to cultivate first, and then wait until next year, and then we'll be able to get in."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "Next year? Our luck is just too good! We stumbled in by mistake and saved a year of bitter cultivation!"

The Pterosaur was also overjoyed, "Haha, it seems we really hit the jackpot!"

Over the next few days, Zhang Yi's family felt as if they were soaking in a hot spring, indulging in the rich spiritual Qi of the Hexinquyu.

Their cultivation levels rose with a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nudi stretched comfortably and shook her beautiful feathers, causing a few colorful plumes to drift down.

"Great! I was stuck at the threshold between Divine Beast and Great Divine Beast before, and no matter what, my cultivation wouldn't go up, but now it's fine, I've finally broken through..."

She squinted her eyes, looking satisfied, as refreshed as if she had drunk an iced happy drink on a sweltering summer day.

Mother Giant Bird was even more excited, flapping her wings vigorously, "I've broken through! I've gone up two ranks! I am now a Great Divine Beast fifth rank! This time, Mom can finally protect you all!"

She looked at Xiao Pu and the Little Earth Dragon with excitement, her eyes full of maternal love.

However, before Mother Giant Bird could finish her excitement, she turned her head and noticed Zhang Yi, and she was completely stunned.

At this moment, Zhang Yi was radiating golden light, and there was even a shimmering white glow around him; he looked just like a heavenly god, full of presence.

Mother Giant Bird gasped, "This... this is incredible, he has broken through to Divine General! Advancing from Great Divine Beast to Divine General!"

Nudi had been feeling smug about her own progress, but upon hearing this, she hurriedly looked at Zhang Yi.

Sure enough, she discovered that this guy Zhang Yi was radiating immense energy, like a walking nuclear reactor.

He stretched his waist, and the spiritual Qi he casually exhaled was enough to crush a small demon to death.

"Damn! Zhang Yi, what kind of immortal pill or medicine did you eat? This is too perverted!"

The Pterosaur said sourly, his heart filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light vanishing in an instant.

He felt the surging power within his body and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "Hehe, just lucky, just lucky."

"Lucky? I think you just hit the jackpot!"

Nudi rolled her eyes, though she said that, she was still happy for Zhang Yi in her heart.

After all, this guy was one of them, and if his strength increased, they could reap more good things.

Meanwhile.

On the outskirts of the Hexinquyu, a group of Demon Beasts were enjoying the thin spiritual Qi leaking out, each one as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Xiong Batian took a few deep breaths and said in a muffled voice, "Hey, the spiritual Qi in this Core Land is just different! I feel like my internal organs have been washed, and my whole body is comfortable!"

As he spoke, he slapped his own sleek, oily belly hard, making a "thump-thump" dull sound.

Standing beside Xiong Batian, the Red Flame Tiger elegantly licked its paws, its flame-like fur shining with a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

It nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's not bad, but unfortunately... we can't get in."

There was a hint of regret in the Red Flame Tiger's tone as its gaze turned toward a few figures sitting cross-legged not far away.

Those figures were the Great Demons of the Demon Saint Mansion.

Powerful Demon Qi swirled around them, and they sat with their eyes closed, like several towering mountain peaks.

"Respected ones."

The Red Flame Tiger asked respectfully, "Do we really have to wait until next year to get in?"

This question seemed to touch the funny bone of the several Great Demons.

They slowly opened their eyes, as if they had heard some ridiculous joke, and immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Next year? Kid, if you can get in by next year, it would be a miracle from your ancestors! You still want to go in early?"

A burly Great Demon said with a tone full of disdain.

Another Great Demon chimed in: "That's right, when we came here back then, we stayed for two or three years. Even the most capable ones who break through the fastest still need a year to enter the Hexinquyu, not to mention you small fries."

He paused and added: "By this time next year, maybe we will have gone in first, and as for you lot... you might still need to cultivate for a while longer, hahahaha!"

Although the Red Flame Tiger was somewhat unwilling, it dared not argue back and could only accompany them with a smile, saying: "It doesn't matter, as long as we can get in eventually."

The other Demon Beasts around also nodded in agreement.

They believed the words of the Demon Saint Mansion deeply; after all, the Demon Saint Mansion had already obtained many benefits from the Hexinquyu, so what they said must be correct.

Thus, this group of Demon Beasts excitedly began to cultivate, looking forward to next year, or the year after, having a chance to enter the Hexinquyu and ascend to the heavens in one step.

Zhang Yi strode forward with his head held high, the aura of a Divine General flowing around him, quite possessing a sense of looking down upon the world.

He would occasionally pinch his fingers to calculate, and occasionally close his eyes to focus, looking quite professional as he searched for a so-called "geomantic treasure land."

Mother Giant Bird, Nudi, and the Pterosaur following behind him had different expressions.

Mother Giant Bird looked worshipful, full of confidence in Zhang Yi.

The Pterosaur was full of envy, wishing it could immediately break through to Divine General as well.

And Nudi was full of disdain, rolling her eyes from time to time.

"I say, Lord Divine General, can you actually do it?"

Nudi asked sarcastically, "Don't end up finding some Luanzang Gang, where we don't absorb any spiritual Qi but instead attract a bunch of dirty things."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately puffed out his cheeks and glared: "You little brat, you dare to question your brother? Do you believe I'll spank your bottom into eight pieces?"

He deliberately puffed out his chest, showing off the might of his Divine General status.

Nudi rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any mind, and walked to the side to find a rock to sit on.

Ever since Zhang Yi broke through to the Divine General realm, the brat had been showing off in front of her all day long, wishing he could order her around like a maid.

Seeing that Nudi was ignoring him, Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered to bicker with her anymore.

He took a deep breath, pretended to be profound as he pinched his fingers to make a calculation, and then pointed at a patch of purple spirit herbs ahead, saying, "That's the place! That patch of Purple Spirit Herbs was nurtured by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth; the spiritual Qi around it is the most concentrated, making it absolutely the best place for cultivation!"

Jubiao Mama and the Wind God Pterosaur heard this and immediately crowded over to take a closer look, and sure enough, they discovered that the spiritual Qi around that patch of Purple Spirit Herbs was much more concentrated than anywhere else.
