Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

No matter what kind of world lies at the end of the sky, it's worth exploring.

Kerry chose a sturdy giant tree on the island, used his sword instead of an axe to fell it, and carved it into a canoe. Amidst the astonished gazes of the other five, he set sail.

These people all grew up by the sea and know the dangers of the endless ocean.

To aimlessly navigate a canoe in the vast ocean is practically suicidal.

Not only must they face unpredictable and raging waves, but they must also guard against sneak attacks from sea monsters. No matter how high their cultivation level, they cannot survive for more than a few days.

But what they didn't know was that Kerry also possessed extensive nautical knowledge.

Kerry had already considered their concerns very clearly.

And most importantly, he also had several sections of Moro tree branches in his storage bag.

Simply tying moro branches to the bottom of the boat can ward off sea monsters.

Kree naturally wouldn't tell them about this treasure.

Kerry steered the canoe swiftly across the sea, quickly leaving the island's area.

Looking back, the island was just a blurry outline. An hour later, the island had disappeared from sight.

And so, Kerry drifted on the boundless sea for three days and three nights.

When dawn broke on the fourth day, Kerry noticed that the outline of the distant mountains was no longer fading away, but stretched endlessly across the distant horizon.

This is the mainland! Kerry realized immediately that this place was different when he could clearly see the outline of these mountains.

This mountain range is so long that it seems to stretch on forever.

Kerry excitedly rowed forward with all his might, finally reaching the shore at sunset.

After three days and four nights of sailing, Kerry finally set foot on land.

After arriving on the mainland, Kerry was like a bird set free, wandering around the continent, traveling to famous mountains and rivers, visiting renowned sects, making friends through martial arts, and living a carefree and happy life.

Until one day, I was invited to participate in a Dragon Chef Competition with a few friends from the martial arts world.

The Dragon Chef Competition held in Tamil Nadu that year was a grand event, attracting heroes from all over the world to participate.

One of Kerry's chef friends also signed up for the competition, and Kerry, as his assistant, also went on stage.

The competition is divided into levels. The level for Kerry's friends to participate is the Four-Crown Dragon Chef Challenge. If they make it into the top three, they can be promoted to Five-Crown Dragon Chef and receive generous rewards.

This is incredibly appealing to contestants who are passionate about cooking.

Kerry's friend's cooking skills are not outstanding, and his performance in the first two games was mediocre.

Without outstanding performances in the upcoming matches, it will be difficult to make it into the top eight, let alone the top three.

When the third competition began, all the participants were dumbfounded by the ingredients they were to process.

Because the animals they were asked to slaughter were ones they had never seen before, and they had no idea whether they were magical beasts or wild animals. Processing unknown ingredients no longer tested their culinary skills, but rather their knowledge and courage.

Just when all the contestants were at a loss, Kerry's eyes lit up.

This animal, with its three heads, two tails, and thick shell, is the most common turtle-headed sea monster found in the waters near Losa Island.

This sea monster swims slowly in the sea and has little attack power, but it has a hard shell armor, so its defensive capabilities are quite good.

Its primary means of attack is its venomous fangs; its three dragon heads are filled with sharp venomous fangs.

Furthermore, the toxins of the three heads are all different and highly toxic; being bitten by any one of the dragon heads will result in death if not treated promptly.

However, the Moro people who knew about the Tortoise-Shelled Dragon-Headed Beast knew that if bitten by it, they could simply capture the sea monster, cut off all three of its heads, take out the poison sacs from the dragon heads, mix the poison from the three sacs together, and drink the mixture to cure the poison.

The meat of the tortoise-shelled dragon-headed beast is not very tasty and contains toxins; those who do not know how to cook it will feel unwell for several days after eating it.

The Moro people hunted the tortoise-shelled dragon-headed beast mainly to obtain its shell as a material for crafting weapons.

The meat parts were either discarded or sold cheaply to ordinary people as food.

To help his friend win, Kerry volunteered to kill and dissect the Tortoise-Headed Dragon Beast, and secretly told his friend about the beast's characteristics without reservation.

With Kerry's help, Kerry's friend achieved a complete victory in the third competition, which propelled him into the top three and ultimately helped him advance to the five-time Dragon Chef Master.

But to Kerry's utter surprise, this exciting good news actually concealed a shocking conspiracy.

After the competition ended, the group of friends, still feeling exhilarated, decided to spend a few more days exploring the capital of Tamil Nation.

But the next morning, Kerry and several other friends arrived at the agreed meeting place as scheduled, but the victorious friend was late.

When the group returned to the inn to question him, they discovered that he had disappeared without a trace.

Everyone immediately lost interest and began to condemn the man's injustice.

The gathering ended unhappily, and the remaining people said their goodbyes and left one after another.

Kribon was a rootless man, and after the crowd dispersed, he continued his travels alone.

But a few days later, Kerry discovered that someone was following him.

During his years on the mainland, Kerry's cultivation level has greatly improved.

According to the cultivation standards of the mainland, his cultivation level already possesses the strength to contend with a third-level Heavenly Realm cultivator.

However, he cultivates primordial energy, not spiritual energy, so his cultivation level is difficult to determine.

However, with his current strength, even a peak second-level Heavenly Realm expert is no match for him.

It is very likely that because others cannot see his cultivation level, he is often looked down upon during his travels, and some bandits frequently visit him.

But in the end, they all suffered heavy losses, losing both their wives and their troops.

So when Kerry discovered that someone was secretly following him again, he assumed it was just some petty thieves and didn't take it seriously. He continued to pretend he knew nothing and travel around.

It wasn't until one day, when he was surrounded by three early-stage Heaven Realm experts on a secluded mountain path, that he realized something was amiss.

Those with Heavenly Rank cultivation are among the most powerful beings on the continent, holding high positions and wielding great influence in various factions.

Even if you're doing really badly, you'd never stoop to being a highway robber.

The fact that they could send three Heavenly Realm experts to deal with him at once indicates that the other party is no ordinary force and has a certain understanding of his background.

Kerry is never merciful to his enemies. If someone blocks his way, he will strike without hesitation and use a deadly move.

Who cares what kind of power they are, let's take them down first.

Seeing that Kerry was playing by his own rules, the other party had no choice but to respond hastily.

The chase turned into a counterattack; the three hadn't expected Kerry to be not only decisive in his killings but also incredibly powerful. In the first exchange, the three didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

After a few moves, two of the three early-stage Heavenly Realm cultivators were killed by Kerry, and the remaining one had both legs broken by Kerry, leaving him no chance to escape.

Kerry didn't kill the man immediately, naturally because he wanted to get something out of him.

But the result was somewhat disappointing for Kerry, who only learned from this person that they belonged to an assassination organization called the Blood Wolf Hall.

He had no idea who wanted to kill him, why they wanted to kill him, or who was the mastermind behind it all.

Kerry had already guessed that he was being targeted by an assassination organization, but he didn't understand how they had tracked him down. Since arriving on the mainland, he had always kept a low profile and lived under an assumed name.

Even his closest friends have never revealed his background.

Kerry knew he had made a mistake somewhere, but he also understood that since the other party had already made a move, they would not let it go, and an even more formidable opponent would be waiting for him.

Even if Kerry is arrogant, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to try to fight a powerful force on his own.

So he made a quick decision, changed his appearance and itinerary, and quietly left Yingzhou for Yuzhou, away from the area where he had lived for so many years, to go to a place where no one knew him and live in seclusion again.

He thought this would allow him to escape the assassination organization's pursuit.

However, he still underestimated the power of the Blood Wolf Gang.

Even though he didn't delay at all and moved quickly, his movements still couldn't escape the Blood Wolf Hall's notice.

When he disguised himself as an ordinary small merchant and mingled with the crowd as he passed through Huilong Road, preparing to cross Nanying Bridge to enter Yuzhou, he was blocked by seven masked men on Sheshan Cliff.

With a super-strong lineup of three Heavenly Rank Level 2 members and four Heavenly Rank Level 1 members, Kerry had no way to escape.

The group joined forces to form a siege formation, trapping Kerry inside.

Even with Kree's formidable fighting prowess, he eventually found himself struggling to hold his own.

The Blood Wolf Gang's goal was to capture him alive, so they hadn't gone all out to kill him. But given Kerry's personality, he would never submit. So, with no chance of escape, he chose to fight to the death.

He feinted, forcing the two men in front of him to retreat, and then immediately turned around to attack a killer blocking his side with all his might.

When the man countered, he swiftly changed his move, turning around and lunging at an assassin blocking the outside of the cliff.

He deflected the man's knife with his sword, then lunged forward, risking a wide-open wound in his back, and reached out with his left hand to grab the man's collar, pushing him toward the cliff.

This sudden turn of events gave no time for anyone else to react, and the two of them fell off the cliff.

In the blink of an eye, they plunged into the clouds below the cliff. In an instant, thunder and lightning roared through the clouds.

Just before Kerry fell into the Cloud Condensation Illusion Array, he finally saw the face of the person he had pushed off the cliff.

Only then did he understand why he had been targeted; it turned out that this person was one of the proctors who hosted the Dragon Chef Competition that day.

This man stood by and supervised the dissection of the tortoise-shelled dragon-headed beast by Kerry that day.

Unexpectedly, the Feather Palace and the Wei family overseas were in cahoots.

However, it was all too late to find out.

By the time Kerry figured it all out, he was already trapped in the Valley of Heartbreak.

He was unable to leave the canyon until the very last day of his life.

He left his life's regrets in the River of Oblivion, hoping only that someone could bring his ashes back to the Extreme Cold Realm.

After reading the entire scroll, Mo Yuming sat quietly on the rock, lost in thought.

He couldn't help but wonder if this Pericles was actually the reincarnation of the Great Master Ren. Otherwise, why would he have created the heaven-defying martial art "Spirit Absorption Technique" and given himself the nickname "Ren Wuxing"?

Unfortunately, this Mr. Ren had a tragic fate. Despite possessing extraordinary talent, he was forced to live a life of hardship, his wife and children were separated from him, and he eventually died far from home, filled with resentment.

Now that he has obtained the otherworldly version of the "Star Absorbing Technique," Mo Yuming is caught in a dilemma.

If you learn this technique, it's good, but it has flaws. In the end, you'll still need to find the Elixir of Salvation to resolve the hidden dangers.

Although Master Ren mentioned in the scroll that he had hidden one-tenth of the precious treasures obtained from the Wei family's treasury in an extremely secret place, including dozens of bottles of precious pills such as the Crossing Calamity Pill.

To ensure safety, he did not tell anyone about this treasure location during his lifetime, and only wrote it down on the scroll at the last moment of his life.

You can find it by following the route in the scroll. Even so, Mr. Ren has been dead for nearly a century; are those things still there?

Had they been found by chance? Even if they were still there, had those pills expired or gone bad? These questions were giving Mo Yuming a huge headache.

If you don't learn, you'll have already passed your peak period of inspiration.

People with good aptitude at his age have already awakened their spiritual roots, while he is only now beginning to learn to sense spiritual energy. Even with the best aptitude, it will take him two years to reach the level of awakening his spiritual roots, by which time he will be almost ten years old.

Based on the ranking system, even if one awakens a spiritual root, they would still be considered mediocre.

Since he had made up his mind to cultivate, no matter how bad the situation was, Mo Yuming was not willing to accept mediocrity, given his personality.

After pondering for a long time, he was still undecided, and finally decided to ask Li Mubai for advice.

Although Old Man Li's cultivation level is not as high as Old Man Dugu's, in terms of knowledge and insights, even three Old Man Dugus cannot compare.

Moreover, besides being knowledgeable and experienced, Old Man Li was also skilled at teaching, and not long ago he had given him pointers on how to exhale and inhale.

After listening to Mo Yuming's account, Li Mubai pondered for a moment and then said:

"Old Master Ren is truly an extraordinary person for being able to create such a heaven-defying technique as the 'Spirit Absorption Technique'."

It's a pity he was born on a remote and impoverished island; otherwise, he would never have stopped there.

I've heard some strange tales about the endless sea, and I've also heard a little about the malevolent energy above it.

Many talented people from mainland China have attempted cross-sea exploration, but none of them have survived.

Even though a few people returned safely, they all died mysteriously within a short period of time.

The reason for their deaths was that their dantian and soul were eroded by the evil energy.

Therefore, everyone asserted that the Endless Sea was a forbidden zone for humanity! Entering it meant certain death.

The appearance of Elder Ren dispelled the rumors; not only do many islands exist in the depths of the endless sea, but they are also inhabited by many humans.

"Why is it that, although we are all human beings, Elder Ren and his people can live on islands in the sea, while we people on the mainland cannot? No one knows the answer."

In my humble opinion, it's very likely that their physical functions changed starting from their ancestors, giving them a certain immunity to Yin-evil poison. As the saying goes, the world is full of wonders.

As Master Ren said, he was a Moro, and although he did not practice the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique or use Yin Sha Qi for cultivation.

However, the essence he absorbed all came from cultivators who practiced the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique.

Is it possible that when he absorbed the power of others, he also absorbed the residual Yin Sha toxins in their bodies?

If that's the case, then you don't need to worry about the Yin Sha poison taking effect when you practice the Spirit Absorption Technique, because there's no one else in this valley who practices the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique.

However, whether this spirit-absorbing technique will be effective against cultivators who practice the Five Elements spiritual energy techniques is another matter; you'll have to consider that yourself.

Li Mubai spoke slowly.

"That's right! The purpose of taking the Du'e Pill is to eliminate Yin Sha toxins. If there are no toxins in the body, why would there be a need to eliminate them?"

Mo Yuming suddenly realized and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
