Chapter 1804: Diligent Cultivation

After the rainforest comes the grassland; after the grassland there are also swamps, highlands, shallow seas and various other terrains.

After the War Ancient State fell, it seems powerful beings used a great relocation method to move in various different surface environments, burying those cities one by one.

The Dao Ancestor's arrow is being repaired, growing longer and more complete.

Twelve hours passed, and it already reached a length of 1.2 meters, able to be held in hand as a weapon, its sharpness extremely high, not inferior to a Venerable's weapon.

However, it has no attribute and is not yet fully repaired.

"It's time to go back to cultivate; tomorrow we'll continue exploring."

Xiao Feng put away this half-arrow, did not proceed to the next stop, but instead paused.

Exploring antiquity is certainly important, but cultivation is what he currently pursues as his top priority.

Each day he can spend at most twelve hours cultivating, and he cannot afford any waste, especially since he possesses a place with an environment two hundred times better than the norm on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, making every minute and second precious.

The entrance to the secret realm opened, and Xiao Feng brought his two companions back into the Chaos Secret Realm together.

Xiao Mi's mood was not good; having seen the tragic sights of one ancient city after another, she already felt the sorrow of her ancestors being forced to flee the ancient state, wandering in desperation.

The mission left to her by her ancestors is to return to their homeland, slay the powerful foe, and avenge the blood feud.

But she clearly knows she lacks that ability; given her talent and cultivation progress, even if given another hundred thousand years, she could never reach the level needed for revenge.

After all, the enemy is no ordinary strong one, but the Dao Ancestor himself!

Now the only one she can hope for is Xiao Feng.

"Master, your servant will attend to your cultivation."

Just after returning to their dwelling, Xiao Mi voluntarily came forward to serve.

She didn't know what she could do, so she did her best to please the master, hoping he would exert a little extra effort for her to settle the ancient grudge.

"No need, silly Xiao Mi." Seeing her low spirits and feeling he had to appease himself, Xiao Feng said pityingly, "Today's blow was too great for you; go rest well, I will also focus on cultivation and will not bully you today."

"Yes, Master."

Although Xiao Mi still wanted to take initiative in her heart, the master's order must be obeyed completely; she obediently nodded, stepped aside, sat down and began cultivating.

Today Jiang Ning, Dun Dun, and Xing Yun Miao are also present, having returned from retraining; their levels urgently need to catch up, so each day they fill their cultivation time to the maximum, just like Xiao Feng.

Seeing Xiao Mi and Xiao Feng like this, Xing Yun Miao asked, "Xiao Feng, what's wrong with you two? Did something happen?"

"Nothing, just found the place where Xiao Mi's ancestors lived, saw some desolate scenes, which struck her a little." Xiao Feng explained.

"Oh… then if there's anywhere we can help, just say so and we'll all pitch in." Xing Yun Miao said.

Now Xiao Feng can open the secret realm's gate; when necessary he can directly pass through the secret realm's transfer, bringing large numbers of players over and air-dropping them anywhere.

This is a tremendously frightening privilege, equivalent to a "super summoning order"; as long as he can reach a place and the secret realm's gate can be opened there, he can swiftly conquer, construct teleportation arrays, and rapidly expand territory.

However, player manpower in this region is limited, the interior of the Chaos Divine Nation is still not fully filled, and occupying more places would not mean much.

This trump card can be saved for use when important wars arise later.

"Hmm, everyone cultivate; don't worry, there's no danger." Xiao Feng nodded and immediately began multitasking, enhancing his various abilities.

Such days will continue for a long time; before becoming the master of the real world, Xiao Feng does not intend to let himself completely relax.

Even if he becomes the master, he would at most relax for a day or two; in the game he is still far from max level, so he must continue to forge ahead.

Everyone is cultivating; the World Ancient Tree's super spirit aperture provides abundant spiritual energy for everyone to share, allowing each person to achieve optimal cultivation results.

However, each person's cultivation time does not completely overlap; after a while someone will get up to do something else.

Like Dai Ni Si, this little girl is lively and cheerful, often going out with the ice deer to play all over the World Ancient Tree and make friends with the local female demons.

Xiu Fu and He Er Na also occasionally go out for a walk.

Although their strength is weak compared to the God Kings here, the powerful demons of the Butterfly Emperor Palace do not reject them; whether Ancestral Gods or God Kings, they have no airs and are easy to get along with.

Moreover, with Xiao Feng's connection, nobody dares to look down on them.

Recently the news of Xiao Xuan Die's return has gradually spread; the female demons mostly went up to visit, and regarding the Empress's sole bloodline, they all showed great closeness and care.

Some also secretly wondered, not knowing when the Empress had secretly given birth to a daughter.

There were even bold speculations that Xiao Xuan Die might be the child of Xiao Feng and the Empress, previously kept with Xiao Feng and not brought back for fear of rejection, only now brought back to soothe everyone's grief over losing the Empress.

This speculation is ridiculous; nobody considered Xiao Feng's age, nor did anyone ask how old Xiao Xuan Die is now…

Xiao Xuan Die cultivates and grows daily in the Butterfly Emperor Palace; now she is a little princess, with many female demons attending to her daily life and meals, her days passing without worry or care.

Although her true identity has been known to Cai Yi and Fei Lian etc., the Ancestral Gods, all four Ancestral Gods have kept the secret for her; so far everything seems to be going smoothly, with no incident of character collapse.

Thus she also gradually let down her guard, outwardly continuing to act as a sleepy little girl, while secretly using her divine sense to observe Xiao Feng's every move, checking whether he is striving and whether he has become more diligent for her sake.

Result… after over ten days, Xiao Feng's cultivation efforts are indeed quite earnest, with nothing to fault.

But just from time to time she sees things she shouldn't have seen, leaving her speechless, feeling her worldview shattered; she never imagined Xiao Feng would be such a person, cursing him countless times in her heart.

……

Xiao Feng cultivated for seven or eight hours.

At this moment, Jiang Ning finished cultivating and sent him a private message: "Xiao Feng big brother, I've finished cultivating; I'm going offline to accompany Miss Chen. You should also go keep her company when you have time—we've been here half a month and you've only seen her once."

"Hmm, okay, I'll go after I finish cultivating." Xiao Feng replied.

Afterwards Jiang Ning logged out of the game.

Xiao Feng thought and felt he seemed a bit unenthusiastic; the venerable Dao Ancestor next door had lived there for so long yet he had hardly greeted him a few times, making himself seem rather aloof.

Although the Dao Ancestor's world might not care about a few days or ten-odd days, constantly leaving someone hanging is not right.

The War Ancient State can be explored slowly; it has been buried for hundreds of thousands of years, so waiting a few more days doesn't matter. The Dao Ancestor must not be negligent, otherwise if she suddenly left, wanting to ask her for answers would leave one with no one to find.
