Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

“My name is Jiuling. Tell me about yourself, stranger. How did you get here, and what is your purpose?” Jiuling answered honestly in response to Wang Mu’s questions.

"I was originally going to the Soul Realm to obtain a secret technique to heal my master, but I was ambushed and assassinated by the demons on my way across the Demon Realm. During my escape, I got separated from my friend and I don't know how he is now," Wang Mu replied worriedly.

“Soul Domain? I vaguely remember this place from my father’s mention of it. There’s a secret realm in my Flame Domain that borders the Soul Domain, but I can’t quite recall where it is.” Jiuling thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"But since you're already here, I suggest you focus on recovering from your injuries first. After all, a healthy body is the foundation for fighting."

Upon hearing that Jiuling had a clue leading to the Soul Realm, Wang Mu couldn't help but get excited and grabbed Jiuling's arm, anxiously asking questions.

"The Flame Domain has a secret realm that connects to the Soul Domain? That's great! Can you think of the exact location?" Before the words were finished, a gloomy voice came from outside the door.

"Soul Domain? Is that the second-level Heavenly Domain where wandering ghosts and spirits are making a racket? I know where that is, but can you explain what you're doing?" After saying that, a thin, masked old man dressed in black walked in from the doorway.

Only then did Wang Mu realize that he had been too excited about hearing the news about the Soul Domain. He had been gripping Jiu Ling's arms tightly with both hands, and the two were so close that their breathing could be clearly heard. Wang Mu quickly let go of his hands, took a step back, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man.

"I was so excited when I heard the news about the Soul Domain that I lost my composure and did something inappropriate to Princess Jiuling. Please forgive me, senior."

"Elder Hun Tian, ​​it's not what you think." Seeing that Wang Mu's explanation was making things worse, Jiu Ling blushed and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

Elder Hun Tian waved his hand at Jiu Ling, "No need to explain. Explaining is just covering up. I don't care what happened between you. Just remember one thing: in the Flame Domain, strength is paramount."

Elder Hun Tian smiled mockingly at Wang Mu.

"Kid, I don't care where you come from or what your purpose is. You want to know the way to the Soul Domain, right? In the Flame Domain, strength is the rule. In short, whoever has the bigger fist gets to call the shots. If you want to know the way to the Soul Domain, you'll have to show some matching strength."

Hearing this, Wang Mu finally understood. The people in the Flame Domain, to put it nicely, were battle maniacs; to put it bluntly, they were simpletons. All they had on their minds was fighting and killing. If they didn't show some strength that could convince the masses, it seemed they wouldn't be able to move an inch. Wang Mu looked at Elder Hun Tian and smiled mockingly.

"Grandpa, have you eaten?"

Elder Hun Tian was confused by Wang Mu's incoherent words and couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He was about to cautiously reply to test the waters when Wang Mu launched his attack with lightning speed.

"If you haven't eaten, take this punch."

"Grandpa Huntian, no! Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator might not be able to withstand your attack. Judging from Wang Mu's appearance, he's not even thirty years old, and his cultivation level is at most Golden Core Realm. He'll probably be reduced to ashes under your attack." Jiuling hurriedly stopped him when he saw that Elder Huntian was serious.

Feeling the intense heat of the flames before him, Wang Mu sensed a dangerous aura. However, for the sake of the Soul Domain's news, this battle was not just about winning, but about winning spectacularly.

"This kid is truly fearless, not only does he not defend, but he also tries to attack," Elder Hun Tian thought to himself, without reducing the pressure on his hands.

"Go!" Elder Hun Tian shouted, and with a wave of his hands, the blazing flames that had been gathered on the curved blade transformed into a blade that slashed at Wang Mu.

Elder Hun Tian, ​​confident of victory, turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Wang Mu, because in his mind the outcome was already predetermined. After all, a real man who wants to show off never looks back.

"Grandpa Huntian, you..." Elder Huntian faced Jiuling, only to see Jiuling's lips moving as her face was filled with worry. However, the sound of the Heaven-Burning Flame was too loud, and Jiuling's voice could only be heard intermittently. Looking at Jiuling's worried expression, Elder Huntian thought to himself.

"This girl, she still says nothing happened between her and this kid, but she's so worried about him. The expression on her face doesn't lie."

To reassure Jiu Ling, Elder Hun Tian curled his lip and slowly walked towards her, saying, "Don't worry, girl. Once this Heaven-Burning Giant Flame reaches this disrespectful brat and scares him so much he wets his pants, I'll take it back. It won't harm your little lover in the slightest."

However, the closer Elder Hun Tian was to Jiu Ling, the clearer Jiu Ling's words became.

"Grandpa Hun Tian, ​​be careful."

"What do you mean I'm being careful? I'm being careful so as not to hurt your little lover?" Upon hearing Jiu Ling's words, Elder Hun Tian felt as if he had swallowed a fly, as if a farmer's carefully cultivated cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

"I've already said all this, and you're still worried that your little lover won't care about your Grandpa Huntian? In a moment, the Heaven-Burning Giant Flame will only withdraw ninety percent of its power, and the rest will be enough to make your little lover suffer."

Just as Elder Hun Tian was about to make a decision, he felt a heavy object strike the back of his head.

'boom'

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was followed by a four-hit combo, each punch landing squarely.

A moment later, Elder Hun Tian, ​​his face bruised and swollen, sat blankly to the side, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, letting Jiu Ling carefully apply medicine to him. As Jiu Ling applied the medicine, he pouted aggrievedly.

"Grandpa Hun Tian, ​​Jiu Ling warned you to be careful, but you just wouldn't listen and instead blamed me for being biased."

Upon hearing this, Elder Hun Tian was so angry that he glared at Wang Mu with his large, copper-bell-sized eyes.

"I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to have a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul Realm, and your strange moves as well. But I think I'll skip the formal address, young friend. Tell me, how many thousands of years have you been cultivating, fellow Daoist?"

"What do you mean, thousands of years? Grandpa Hun Tian, ​​what nonsense are you spouting?" Upon hearing this, Jiu Ling immediately objected and hurriedly defended Wang Mu.

Seeing Jiu Ling's change in attitude, Elder Hun Tian thought to himself, "A married girl is like water spilled from a bowl, useless. She's already showing such favoritism before she's even married. What will happen after she's married?" Elder Hun Tian still patiently explained.

“Girl, you’re just too naive. What young talent in the world can achieve this level of cultivation at such a young age? But there are some ancient monsters who like to date young girls and deliberately fix their appearance at the prime of their youth.”

“Grandpa Hun Tian, ​​I trust my senses; my eyes don’t lie,” Jiu Ling replied innocently.
