Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, Chu Yunfan's greatest strength has always been his optimism and never giving up hope, even in dire straits.

Therefore, even in the face of such a situation, he did not succumb to despair, but instead used his clever little brain to come up with a solution.

A moment later, a muttered sound came from Chu Yunfan's mouth.

"If it doesn't work, I'll cultivate here until I reach the Martial Venerable Realm before leaving?"

Chu Yunfan had this idea because he was already at the peak of the Martial Master realm and could break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm at any time.

In addition, the cave contains abundant spiritual milk, which allows him to quickly improve his cultivation.

Therefore, even if one cultivates to the Martial Venerable Realm, it will only take a few years at most.

However, Chu Yunfan was worried about one thing: this kind of cramming-style growth, which is not achieved through hard work, could easily lead to a superficial cultivation level, affecting future cultivation.

In particular, his speed in breaking through from the early stage of Martial Master to the peak of Martial Master was already too fast, and he did not go through any training. If he were to break through to the Martial Venerable stage at the same speed, he was afraid that he would be ruined.

The reason he was able to fight enemies of higher levels and even those of greater realms was because he fought steadily and learned and mastered various techniques in constant battles.

Now, although his cultivation has reached the peak of the Martial Master realm, his sword intent, sword techniques, and various combat skills for killing enemies and saving his life have not improved at all.

This kept him in a state of constant panic.

This kind of panic is like a fierce tiger that originally dominated the mountains and forests, but was captured and taken to a zoo and artificially fed. Although it eats and sleeps well and its size has become larger, it has lost its fighting spirit in the wild, as well as its ability to survive and fight.

In fact, Chu Yunfan's panic was not unfounded.

Otherwise, the successors of those powerful families and forces wouldn't need to go out to train and fight; they could simply stay at home, consuming top-grade pills and various rare and precious herbs to increase their cultivation.

But doing so is no different from feeding pigs.

In the end, all that was left was a trash can filled with treasures inside.

However, if Chu Yunfan doesn't raise his cultivation to the Martial Venerable Realm and goes out with his current peak Martial Master Realm cultivation, he will definitely die if he encounters a fourth-order demon beast outside.

After all, Chu Yunfan had personally experienced the strength of the White-haired Mountain Eagle before, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Keep in mind that the White-haired Mountain Eagle was only a fourth-tier early-stage demon beast, yet it managed to force Chu Yunfan into this state.

Outside the cave, there were many powerful monsters stronger than the White-haired Mountain Eagle, ranging from mid-stage to late-stage fourth-order monsters, and even peak fourth-order monsters.

"My head hurts!"

Chu Yunfan rubbed his temples, looking worried and distressed.

While Chu Yunfan was pondering how to leave, he was unaware that Shangguan Wan had not actually left. Instead, she remained not far away, behind a white cloud in the sky, her eyes fixed on Chu Yunfan's location.

She could even hear Chu Yunfan talking to himself clearly.

When she first heard Chu Yunfan say he would cultivate to the Martial Venerable Realm before leaving, her face instantly turned cold, and she said coldly:

"If you dare to turn into a pig that only eats spirit milk, I'll cleave you into pieces with a single sword strike, without the monsters outside even lifting a finger!"

In fact, the reason why Shangguan Wan stayed here and said that sentence earlier was because...

The purpose was simple: to test Chu Yunfan.

Although for ordinary martial arts masters, escaping from this fourth-tier demon beast area is a dead end unless they have incredible luck.

However, this only applies to ordinary cultivators.

If it were a top genius like Shangguan Wan, even in such a desperate situation, she would find a way out.

After all, the definition of genius is breaking conventions and creating miracles.

Now, Shangguan Wan needs Chu Yunfan to create a miracle to prove that she is a true genius.

Otherwise, Shangguan Wan would still have killed Chu Yunfan with a single sword strike.

Because she wouldn't allow her man to be a useless person.

And this was the final answer she gave after having relations with Chu Yunfan twice.

This answer was both giving Chu Yunfan a chance and giving herself an explanation.

Whether Chu Yunfan can seize this opportunity depends entirely on himself.

However, after thinking it over, Chu Yunfan realized that the most powerful items he possessed were the Wind Spirit Sword and the Snow Frost Sword, both top-grade spiritual weapons.

However, with these two things, he can at most fight against third-tier monsters.

As for fourth-tier demonic beasts, that's pure fantasy.

Just as Chu Yunfan was troubled, he suddenly thought of the little brother he had just taken in, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"How could I forget about the Gold-Eating Rat King? It's an extraordinary rat that can hold its own in this fourth-tier monster area!"

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan immediately summoned the Gold-Eating Rat King through the essence blood in his mind.

However, to Chu Yunfan's great disappointment, the Gold-Eating Rat King did not appear after he summoned it.

"what's the situation?

Could it be that the previous act of acknowledging the master was fake?

Chu Yunfan was startled, but then dismissed his guess.

"No, if the claim of God is false."

I killed so many gold-devouring rats, the Gold-devouring Rat King has no reason to let me go.

But I've been here for so long, and it had so many good opportunities to ambush me, yet it didn't make a move, which means there shouldn't be any problem with it recognizing me as its master.

But why didn't it appear?

Just as Chu Yunfan was filled with doubt, the figure of the Gold-Eating Rat King finally appeared before him.

However, at this moment, the Gold-Eating Rat King had a dazed look in its eyes, messy fur, and its body was covered in various slimes, emitting a unique fishy smell, which seemed very strange.

"What's going on with you?"

Chu Yunfan couldn't help but ask.

After speaking, the Gold-Eating Rat King hesitated for a moment before speaking softly to answer Chu Yunfan's question.

“Master, I didn’t mean to not show up just now.”

However, I was poisoned by that giant snake before, and then my consciousness began to blur. Later, somehow, I ended up with those female gold-devouring rats again.

I only snapped out of my reverie when you summoned me, Master!

After hearing the explanation from the Gold-Eating Rat King, Chu Yunfan was too surprised to speak.

No wonder the Gold-Eating Rat King didn't react earlier; it turns out it was busy mingling with so many female rats.

However, when Chu Yunfan thought about how he had also been involved with Shangguan Wan before, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to blame her.

So he waved his hand, indicating that the Gold-Eating Rat King shouldn't worry about it, and then asked directly:

"I want to leave the Azure Demon Mountains. Will you come with me and fight your way out?"
