1384: C1384 The Secret of the Canyon

C1384 The Secret of the Canyon

Zhou Yan's mind was active.

At this moment, he finally understood why the old man had stopped here for half a day.

It turned out that the old man wanted to explore the secrets of the canyon.

Unfortunately, he died in the hands of the black bear.

"With the old man's strength, he should be an expert in Jiangnan County. How could he die here? Could it be done by a black bear?"

Zhou Yan guessed in his heart as his eyes lit up.

There must be a cat in this canyon!

"No! I have to figure out the situation!"

Zhou Yan made up his mind and decided to charge into the canyon again.

Swish...

With a light tap of his toes, Zhou Yan leaped up and flew towards the depths of the canyon.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Along the way, all kinds of Demonic Beasts pounced over, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They were ferocious and carried a stench with them.

"Scram!"

Zhou Yan roared as his aura erupted from his body. He threw out a punch, causing the air to tremble as if it was going to pierce through the air and create a monstrous wave of air.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

As the fist swept past, the Demonic Beasts' bodies exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.

Although the grades of these Demonic Beasts were not bad, they were only Low-level Demonic Beasts after all, and did not pose any fatal threat to Zhou Yan.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's eyes focused as he looked forward.

In front of him, a giant python covered in gray-white scales was slowly swimming over from behind a towering ancient tree.

"Mystic Rank Demonic Beast?"

Zhou Yan's eyes revealed a look of vigilance.

Snakes were the most cunning and impossible to defend against.

This was especially so for the Mystic Rank Demonic Python in front of him. Its body was covered in gray-white scales and its poison was extremely strong.

"Hmph... it's just a Mystic Rank Demonic Python. I'll kill you today and cook you into soup!"

Zhou Yan sneered as he charged into the back of the ancient tree with his hammer.

Puchi!

Wielding his hammer, Zhou Yan slashed down on the Demonic Python's body.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

Even though the Demonic Python's body was incomparably tough, it was still unable to withstand the power of Zhou Yan's hammer.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the hammer swung around, sparks flew everywhere, and the Demonic Python wailed. Its huge body continued to sway as it crashed into the mountain wall, producing a rumbling sound.

Zhou Yan's eyes flashed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he flew to the side of the black bear, grabbed its shoulder, and jumped into the air, fleeing into the distance.

Although the black bear possessed immense strength, it was not intelligent enough to do anything to Zhou Yan.

"Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A moment later, Zhou Yan and the black bear distanced themselves from each other as they heard the violent roars of the black bear and a series of rumbling sounds.

"Looks like the black bear has caught up to that elder."

Hearing that, Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief and gave up on searching for the elder. Instead, he returned along the river bank.

"Huff..."

Panting heavily, Zhou Yan sat on the ground and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

During this period of time, Zhou Yan had been worried about being chased by the black bear. Thus, he did not sleep or rest as he exhausted himself.

At this moment, Zhou Yan laid weakly on the ground with a pale face.

This battle was far too arduous!

"How much combat strength does the black bear have? How many humans has it killed over the years?"

Zhou Yan still had lingering fear in his heart.

This black bear was a Rank 2 savage beast whose strength was comparable to that of an Innate Grandmaster.

"I need to quickly recover my strength. Otherwise, if I encounter other Demonic Beasts..."

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, took out a pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

...

At night, the gentle breeze brought about a faint coolness.

"Where is this place?"

Zhou Yan opened his eyes and looked around.

Shrouding the Sky blocked the moon.

This was a desolate world. Vegetation had withered, leaves had turned yellow, and a strong aura of decay assaulted his senses.

Zhou Yan frowned. He seemed to be in a cave. The cave was empty except for a bronze mirror embedded in the stone wall that was emitting light.

This scene shocked Zhou Yan.

"The bronze mirror left behind by that old man is actually still here..."

Zhou Yan was surprised.

According to the elder, the Bronze Mirror was a treasure that could differentiate between good and evil. Furthermore, it possessed great power and had once saved his life.

Unfortunately, the Bronze Mirror had been left behind in the Black Wind Stronghold and was nowhere to be found.

Now, it seemed that those rumors were true. The old man really did not have good intentions.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yan's figure flashed and appeared beside the Bronze mirror, observing it carefully.

"Eh?"

Zhou Yan was surprised to find that the surface of the Bronze mirror was rusted and severely damaged.

Not only that, a corner of the Bronze mirror was missing.

"This Bronze mirror seems to have been severely injured!"

Zhou Yan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Forget it, who cares if it's damaged or not. In any case, I don't need it!"

Zhou Yan shook his head and put away the Bronze Mirror. Then, he sat down cross-legged and silently healed his injuries.

...

At the same time.

Three hundred meters away from the Black Wind Stronghold, in a dense forest, there was a man with tattered clothes and a dirty face. He was carrying a long sword on his back and standing on a rock. His eyes were cold as he stared in the direction of the Black Wind Stronghold.

"The people of the Black Wind Stronghold all deserve to die..."

The man clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred as he enunciated each word, "And you, Zhou Yan..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man's body swayed and almost fell to the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

He immediately grabbed onto a tree trunk and coughed a few times before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhou Yan!"

The man's eyes were bloodshot as he stared in the direction of the Black Wind Stronghold with overflowing hatred.

"I never thought that the martial soul of the Black Wind Stronghold's chief would awaken and become even stronger!"

After a long time, the man finally calmed down and sighed.

And then he turned around and left.

Zhou Yan did not know about any of this.

That night, Zhou Yan slept soundly and even dreamed.

In his dream, he turned into a Gods and Devils, sweeping across the ages and suppressing the Nine Darkness Demon Emperor!

"Hahaha..."

In the dream, Zhou Yan couldn't help but laugh wildly. He felt extremely carefree in his heart.

...

"Ah... Pain..."2

The next day, Zhou Yan slowly woke up and suddenly woke up.

The dream from last night had touched him quite a bit, allowing him to gain a new understanding of his soul.

"I'm now at the peak of the Connate realm, and I have a lot of true energy. I can try to form a wheel of Yuan Qi."

Zhou Yan's eyes burned with passion. After thinking for a moment, he prepared to find a quiet place to condense a Wheel of Essence.

The Wheel of Essence contained the power of Essence, which could increase one's attack power and was extremely domineering.

However, the Wheel of Origin Energy was extremely difficult. Not only did it require the accumulation of true energy, but it also required an opportunity or some special opportunity...

Not long after, Zhou Yan walked into the forest and opened up a small cave.

In the cave, Zhou Yan sat on the ground and operated the Origin Devouring Technique. He absorbed the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, tempered his bones and muscles, and strengthened his true energy.

After a while, Zhou Yan stopped cultivating.

"The Wheel of Essence Qi is too difficult to condense. It requires an opportunity, some kind of treasure, or a fortuitous encounter..."

Zhou Yan muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.

His cultivation resources had already been used up. Unless he could find a treasure, he would not be able to successfully form the Wheel of Essence.

However, this process was extremely long and definitely not easy.
