Chapter 6: Xionger Feels It Is Very Absurd

The thumping sound continued incessantly; the more he struck, the more astonished Xiongda became.

Judging by the aura Blood Dragon had displayed just moments ago, he estimated that the other party had not yet stepped into the Taiyi realm and was likewise at the Golden Immortal realm.

Staying behind to assist Blood Dragon was, aside from what the other party had said, primarily due to that mysterious Tian Yuan.

To be able to capture him with a casual gesture and still possess such a blessed land, he was undoubtedly a being of great divine power.

It was just unexpected that the two of them, working together, would find it so laborious to strike at such a palm-sized piece of miscellaneous stone.

In the Primordial World, while a Golden Immortal might not count for much, one no longer needed to huddle in one corner and could travel far and wide.

Soaring through the skies, burrowing into the earth, and churning the rivers and seas were all within his capabilities, so why was dealing with a stone so difficult? Right now, he wanted to see what this miscellaneous stone was all about.

Finally, after quite a while, all five tentacles attached to it were smashed to pieces; accompanied by a squeaking sound, the miscellaneous stone vanished into the red mist.

Xiongda looked on with a blank expression and stepped forward; he had intended to knock it down to study it properly, but who would have thought it would disappear in an instant.

He looked at Blood Dragon in confusion, but before he could open his mouth, his body trembled slightly.

He hurriedly closed his large, round eyes and carefully sensed the changes within his body.

After a long while, he opened his eyes to meet the smiling face of Blood Dragon.

"This is truly a great stroke of fortune!" Xiongda swallowed his saliva, feeling somewhat incredulous.

After stepping into the Golden Immortal realm, even the most subtle changes in the body could not escape the perception of the Primordial Spirit.

Just now, it felt as if a faint current had surged into his body, making his Primordial Spirit clear and bright.

On the path of cultivation, before the Golden Immortal realm, one only needed to absorb spiritual energy to practice; even if one did nothing at all, as long as one lived long enough, one could infinitely approach the Golden Immortal realm.

But to break into the Golden Immortal realm, one needed to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth and find one's own path.

And that faint current just now had enhanced his comprehension of the laws.

The deeper one's comprehension of the laws, the easier it naturally was to break through the current realm.

Blood Dragon nodded and said earnestly, "This is all thanks to the grace of Senior Tian Yuan; we must keep this in our hearts!"

Previously, because of the Karma borne by the Dragon Clan, his cultivation had become increasingly difficult, but after arriving here for only half a day, that feeling of the path ahead being obscured had already vanished.

Perhaps it would not take long before he could step into the ranks of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Xiongda faced the sacred mountain, straightened his posture, and performed a respectful, deep bow. "Many thanks, Senior Tian Yuan!"

Although he was full of doubts at this moment, such a kindness was no less than the grace of imparting the Dao, and Xiongda was sincerely grateful.

Who would have thought that just as he stood up, a black shadow fell before him.

With a 'thud', a silver-haired bear demon lay on the ground, and subsequently, a pickaxe fell down, smashing onto the fellow's forehead.

Seeing the guy brought by Tian Yuan once again, Blood Dragon wore a strange expression.

Xiongda, however, ran up excitedly, gave the newcomer a slap, shook his head, and shouted loudly, "Second Brother! Second Brother!"

He had just been thinking that his brother had missed out on such an opportunity, never expecting to see him in the blink of an eye.

"Roar!"

With an angry roar, Xionger looked at the burly man before him and exclaimed loudly, "Big... Big Brother, why are you in... such rich spiritual energy, this, this, this, this..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xionger stared wide-eyed at what was in front of him.

He had been sunbathing at the entrance of his own cave, never expecting a stone man to descend from the sky and knock him unconscious with a single punch.

When he woke up again, he had actually seen his big brother and arrived at such a blessed land.

He flipped up, opened his giant mouth, and took a fierce, powerful breath, but he froze instantly; the spiritual energy all around was unaffected.

After only a slight pause, he swallowed repeatedly again, simultaneously circulating his magic power within his body.

Seeing his second brother's actions, Xiongda looked embarrassed and went up to give him a slap: "Second brother, don't waste your effort; we lack the power to absorb this spiritual energy." Facing his elder brother's slap, Xionger did not mind and looked around with a blank expression.

The flowing golden spiritual energy was like a vast ocean with no end in sight; in his bear eyes, a wildfire was already raging.

As for Blood Dragon standing on the side, he had long been ignored by him.

Seeing his brother still trying hard to absorb the spiritual energy, Xiongda could only explain the matter of grooming the Earth Vein.

"Big Brother, such a heaven-defying blessed land will surely nurture many treasures; how could we have time to groom any Earth Vein?" Xionger shook his head repeatedly, his gaze fixed on the stone men in the distance.

The most urgent task was to study this place thoroughly and then find a secret location to go into seclusion and practice.

Those stone men were thumping and striking, as if they were digging for treasures.

"You idiot! Grooming the Earth Vein is a great feat that benefits the Primordial World, and it might even result in the descent of merit, which is of great benefit to cultivation." Xiongda, unable to contain his anger, backhanded his brother on the head again.

Blood Dragon... Xionger came back to his senses, rubbing his head with a look of grievance.

Although they occupied two mountain peaks, the brothers were of one mind; if his big brother said so, it might really be the case.

After Xiongda explained it in detail, Xionger felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

He was just a small bear at the Golden Immortal realm; did a major event like benefiting the Primordial World need him to complete it? Xionger felt it was very absurd! Ignoring Xionger, who was still in shock, Xiongda hurriedly pulled him forward. "Second Brother, this is Fellow Daoist Blood Dragon!"

"Fellow Daoist! This is my second brother, Xionger!"

With the brothers reunited and both obtaining such heaven-defying fortune, Xiongda was very happy.

Blood Dragon cupped his hands; the other party was brought by Senior Tian Yuan, and they would be grooming the Earth Vein together in the future, so being polite was only right.

Xionger transformed into a silver-clad burly man and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

His eyes were still filled with doubt.

Apart from the three of them, it seemed that everyone in this Earth Vein was a stone man.

"Fellow Daoist, we hit it off at first sight; how about we become sworn brothers?" Xiongda suddenly spoke, looking at Blood Dragon with great enthusiasm.

Blood Dragon was stunned, feeling a bit surprised in his heart.

After the Great Calamity, although the Dragon Clan still had some residual power, life in the Primordial World was not easy; otherwise, they would not have had to retreat to guard the sea regions.

After thinking about it for a moment, Blood Dragon understood Xiongda's intention, which was likely because of Senior Tian Yuan.

He had arrived here first, and he was probably afraid that he had a close relationship with the Senior.

Thinking of his own situation at the time, Blood Dragon felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, nodded, and replied: "Since you are so enthusiastic, Fellow Daoist, it is exactly what I wish!"

The two Demons were also exotic species of the Primordial Era, and having obtained the current good fortune, they would not be ordinary in the future.

Blood Dragon readily agreed, and Xiongda was very happy, immediately calling out respectfully: "Big Brother!"

Seeing Xionger not moving, he hurriedly gave the other a smack on the back of the head. "Why don't you hurry up and greet Big Brother!"

Xionger stood blankly on the spot, his face full of confusion, but he still cupped his hands and shouted loudly: "Xionger greets Big Brother!"

Although his brain had not yet reacted, if Big Brother said it was so, then it was so.

Meeting the enthusiastic gazes of the two Demons, Blood Dragon also felt a slight stirring in his heart.

"Second Brother, Third Brother!"

Remaining on the Primordial land, he had been cultivating in solitude all these years and had no friends. Being able to meet in such a blessed land could be considered fate.

"Good, good, good! Let us speed up the dredging of the Earth Vein to complete what the senior instructed." Xiongda laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.

Blood Dragon nodded and walked toward the nearest piece of rubble.

Xionger picked up the pickaxe from the ground, scratched the back of his head, and followed behind his two elder brothers.

Should I call myself Xionger or Xiongshan? (End of chapter)
