Chapter 894 Cultivation (1)

Liu Mei and the others looked a bit confused, but Shun Long didn't explain anything else as he directly leaped and sat down on Little Silver's back.

Seeing that he wasn't planning to explain things right away, Liu Mei first gathered the spatial rings that her skeletons had happily collected from the corpses of the surrounding Dao Kings, before she sat down on Little Silver's wide back as well.

A few moments later, Little Silver's figure that was carrying 5 people on it, turned into a streak of silvery light as it disappeared deeper inside the 'Endless Desert'!

...

A little more than an hour later, Shun Long lowered his gaze to stare at the empty desert below him, before he nodded his head and said in satisfaction

''This place is good enough. Little Silver, get down.''

Without any hesitation, Little Silver then flapped its massive silver wings and shot downwards, descending towards an empty space below them that was filled with nothing but countless grains of sand.

As the figure of the black panther descended, Xingyi and the others began to curiously examine their surroundings, before looks of confusion slowly crept up on their faces.

After all, no matter how they looked at it, this place didn't look special in any way, and was just an unassuming, insignificant spot in the 'Endless Desert'.

Unlike the 'Stone mural' where they had comprehended the scenes engraved on it earlier that allowed them to enter the 'realm of masters', or the 'Illusion oasis' that seemed to be holding plenty of opportunities and treasures within, this place looked extremely 'plain' in comparison.

And yet, Jiang Chen didn't seem to care about any of this, as he directly sat down on the ground and closed his eyes, before he began to gather his qi. It was obvious that Jiang Chen didn't care in the slightest about where they were or what they were going to do, as the only thing on his mind was improving his cultivation base and taking revenge.

After all, there was no way he was going to forget the humiliation he had suffered from the peak rank 9 Dao King, Mao Huang back in the 'Illusion oasis'.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Bai Longtian was the first one to speak, as he turned his gaze towards Shun Long and asked curiously

''Brother Shun, is there something special about this place?''

Liu Mei, Xingyi, and even Jiang Chen who had just sat down, all turned their eyes towards him when they heard Bai Longtian's question, but contrary to their expectations, Shun Long simply shook his head before he said calmly

''Aside from the qi here being a bit more concentrated, there is actually nothing special about this place.'' Looking at the confused expressions on everyone's faces, Shun Long's lips curved upwards ever-so-slightly before he continued ''But this is precisely the reason why I chose this place. Because there is nothing special about it.'' Then, with an extremely rare, serious look on his face, he then added in ''You must have already realized what everyone is lacking the most right now; ...it's enough time to grow.''

Liu Mei's, Xingyi's, Jiang Chen's, and Bai Longtian's eyes all flashed with a deep glint when they heard this. Indeed, what all of them, and especially Shun Long were lacking the most right now, was enough time to increase their cultivation base.

They had already realized this fact the moment they stepped foot into this 'second stage' in the City of Immortals.

While things were still easy back during the first stage, as soon as they passed the trial to hunt enough 'Demon-fanged mice' and entered the second stage, the ambushes they faced had increased by countless times, as they got attacked again and again.

First, it had been that early rank 7 Dao King who had claimed to be from the 'White tiger chamber of commerce', Li Tian, who ended up making his move against them as soon as they arrived.

Although an early rank 7 Dao King wasn't much in the 'City of Immortals', even an insignificant figure like Li Tian had dared to attack them in broad daylight.

Then, while they were still back in the 'Stone mural', Shun Long surpassing the 'realm of masters' and comprehending sword aura had attracted so much attention, that all of the surrounding Dao Kings had gotten riled up, and in the end, this even ended up attracting the attention of that red-robed old man called 'Old Fu', who was already a peak rank 9 Dao King!

However, the worst instances were undoubtedly the one in the 'Illusion oasis', as well as the ambush they had just suffered from Yao Guanting's group.

In the 'Illusion oasis', a peak rank 9 Dao King like Mao Huang had single-handedly dealt with Liu Mei and the others, bringing them all on the brink of death. In fact, Mao Huang had even used an extremely rare poison against them called the 'Soul tormenting grass', which made even top-grade rank 6 'anti-toxin pills' useless against it.

However, the worst of all was the fact, that aside from Mao Huang, there was an even more terrifying peak rank 9 Dao King in the 'Illusion oasis', who was strong enough to pierce through even Shun Long's defenses after he had gone all-out and activated his dragonform.

Of course, this was only because Shun Long was still a peak rank 3 Dao King, so the boost that his defenses got after he burned his blood essence was still limited by his own cultivation base.

Although his black dragon scales were extremely hard, they weren't truly impenetrable in the end.

...

However, after reviewing all of those things, Liu Mei and the rest all understood that in reality, none of those things would have truly happened if they had been stronger.

After all, who would have dared to attack them if they were peak rank 9 Dao Kings instead?

Would Mao Huang have dared to make trouble with them?

Would Li Tian even think of robbing them?

Would the red-robed old man called 'old Fu' really try to fight them?

Would Yao Guanting and his group even dare to approach them?

In the end, the core issue stemmed from their own cultivation bases.
