Zhou Yuan and his son were buried underground for three days.
The two hunting teams of Duan Long and Wan Tianpeng above the rift valley also waited for three days.
The vitality of warriors is very tenacious, so they waited for so long just to see if a miracle would happen and whether Zhou Yuan was still alive.
They didn't even know that on the other side not far from them, their enemy Xiao Jie was hiding there and waiting silently.
Of course Xiao Jie had discovered them long ago.
After all, Duan Long and Wan Tianpeng were both in the open, while Xiao Jie was in the dark.
"These two hunting teams should be here to hunt down Zhou Yuan. Wait here." Xiao Jie thought in his mind.
Zhang Xing, who was on the side, approached Xiao Jie and said, "Brother Jie, it's been three days. I'm afraid Zhou Yuan has died long ago. Should we withdraw?"
Xiao Jie shook his head, "No, I said, if you want to see someone alive, you want to see a corpse if you die."
Zhang Xing reluctantly gave up.
To be honest, three days was already a long time. Zhou Yuan, who was buried underground, would have at least suffocated to death.
Both Duan Long and Wan Tianpeng couldn't wait any longer.
"Duan Long, Zhou Yuan has been buried there for three days, and there is no movement at all. You said that the mastermind behind Zhou Yuan's frame should have appeared by now, right?"
Wan Tianpeng looked at Duan Long and asked.
The purpose of framing Zhou Yuan was to want Zhou Yuan to die. Now Zhou Yuan has been buried, but he has never appeared.
Duan Long next to him snorted coldly: "It's not that easy. The mastermind behind the scenes is very smart. Even if he comes, he might be hiding somewhere here. How can he let us see it?
"
"Then why don't we go around the cliff and look for it?"
"If you want to alarm that ninth-level flame cow, then you go, I won't go anyway." Duan Long shook his head.
Wan Tianpeng didn't say anything more, but stood up.
"In that case, I'll go and you can wait."
Glancing at Duan Long, Wan Tianpeng waved his hand and quickly left the place with his Tianpeng hunting team.
In Wan Tianpeng's view, Zhou Yuan was dead and there was no point in staying in this place.
Duan Long also began to hesitate, wondering whether to leave or stay.
Half a day later, Duan Long immediately waved his hand and led the Fuling hunting team away from Hengdu Cliff.
The two hunting teams left one after another.
Xiao Jie on the other side had a complicated look on his face and asked countless times in his mind whether Zhou Yuan was dead or not.
Once the two hunting teams left, it meant that everything he had done in the past few days was in vain.
And now that Zhou Yuan's life or death is uncertain, he doesn't dare to leave easily.
He hoped that Zhou Yuan was dead so that he could return to Xiao Batian with peace of mind.
"If we can find a way to lure away the ninth-level flaming bull, we can dig out the earth and rocks and confirm whether Zhou Yuan is dead or not." Xiao Jie said to himself.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned by him.
That was a ninth-level flaming bull. No matter who among them tried to provoke it, they would be doomed.
Inside the cave.
After many days of practice, Zhou Canghai's cultivation finally became looser at this moment.
In front of him, a small area of spiritual stones had turned dark gray, and all the spiritual energy was absorbed by him.
boom!
The next moment, Zhou Canghai's dantian vibrated twice.
Immediately afterwards, countless impurities were expelled from the body along Zhou Canghai's pores.
Zhou Canghai immediately opened his eyes, with a smile on his face.
His cultivation finally broke through to the eighth level of solid energy realm.
Sure enough, there is a difference between having the spirit stone and not having the spirit stone. Zhou Canghai has been dormant in the seventh level of Qi Qi realm for many years, and now he has made a breakthrough.
He looked at Zhou Yuan next to him.
Zhou Yuan is still practicing with his eyes closed, and there seems to be no sign of breakthrough yet.
"Sure enough, I should break through first." Zhou Canghai smiled faintly.
Suddenly, Zhou Canghai looked at the piece of spiritual stone in front of Zhou Yuan, and was shocked.
The darkened spirit stone area in front of Zhou Yuan was obviously much larger than the area in front of him, which meant that in the past three days, Zhou Yuan had absorbed much more spiritual energy than he had absorbed.
The more spiritual energy you absorb, the wider the ocean of spiritual energy in your body becomes.
Zhou Canghai nodded with satisfaction.
This son of mine can truly be called a genius. Even without the martial arts seal, he is still such a monster in practice.
He didn't know that Zhou Yuan had already broken through twice in a row in just a few days since he came to Diling Mountain Range.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Canghai stood up, walked over to the Yanniu carcass, cut off a piece, roasted it over fire, ate some himself, walked over to Zhou Yuan, and placed the other part next to Zhou Yuan.
Then he saw the Lunfan knife placed next to Zhou Yuan.
This Lunfan sword is his personal belongings and he loves it very much.
But because when he was first trapped, he had not discovered that there was a cave deep in the gap, and thought that he would definitely die, so he gave it to Duan Long who was passing by.
Now the knife is back in his hands.
Zhou Canghai was shocked. Zhou Yuan's strength was unfathomable, and he was able to recapture this sword from Duan Long, who was in the eighth level of Solid Qi Realm.
Picking up the Lunfan sword, Zhou Canghai walked to the other side and started practicing his sword skills.
There is no time in the cave.
Soon Zhou Yuan also reached the critical point of breakthrough.
Several roaring sounds were heard in his body, and even his bones were creaking. His skin cells were constantly changing, his metabolism was accelerating, and his body was strengthening.
After a long time, Zhou Yuan also opened his eyes.
The aura on his body suddenly rose to a new level.
He also reached the eighth level of Qi Consolidation.
Compared to Zhou Canghai, his cultivation level has broken through very quickly. He has broken through three realms in a row less than half a month since he came to Diling Mountain Range.
Look at the gray spirit stone in front of you.
All the spiritual energy inside has been consumed.
However, this only consumes some of the spiritual stone veins in the entire cave.
Even so, Zhou Yuan also consumed nearly a hundred spirit stones in the past few days.
His father, Zhou Canghai, had only spent less than twenty yuan before.
"Yuan'er, have you finally made a breakthrough?" Zhou Canghai ran over excitedly.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Canghai with a look of surprise, obviously seeing that Zhou Canghai was much stronger than before.
The father and son made breakthroughs one after another, both reaching the eighth level.
"That's great. Then the Xiao family and the Bai family won't dare to do anything to my Zhou family." Zhou Canghai said.
In Xuanhuang Continent, strength is respected, as long as you have strength, you can calm everything down.
"To be honest, with my current strength, it is not a problem to defeat Xiao Batian, who is at the ninth level of Qi transformation."
Zhou Yuan said seriously.
"How is that possible?" Zhou Canghai was suddenly shocked.
There is a huge difference in realm strength between the eighth level of Qi Refining and the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Regardless of Zhou Canghai's current breakthrough in cultivation, if he faced Xiao Batian, Xiao Batian could kill him by raising his hand.
Zhou Yuan said that he could defeat Xiao Batian. Are you kidding?
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, knowing that his father would not believe it.
The ocean of thunder power in his body adds thunder attribute power to his spiritual power, which is equivalent to possessing the ability of a martial arts seal in disguise. Therefore, the strength of his spiritual power is several levels higher than that of ordinary warriors.
"Father, I will prove it to you. I will kill that ninth-level flame bull later, so don't blink your eyes."
Zhou Yuan said it very easily.
He was no match for Yan Niu before, but now he is absolutely sure to kill it.
"What, Yuan'er, don't be joking." Zhou Canghai's face was full of worry.
Zhou Yuan still smiled, "I'm not joking."
At the same time, because of the breakthrough in cultivation, Huamei in Linglong Realm also noticed it immediately.
"Do you have a special feeling?" Huamei's voice sounded in Zhou Yuan's mind.
Zhou Yuan was shocked. This was the first time Huamei communicated with him in this way.
He immediately asked: "How does it feel?"
"Don't you realize that your insight is much beyond that of ordinary people?"
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately sensed it.
You don't know this if you don't feel it. Once he felt it, Zhou Yuan was immediately startled.
Previously, he was buried in the cave and could not detect the flaming cow outside. But at this moment, he could clearly detect the changes in the flaming cow's aura.
Huamei's voice came again, "If you improve your cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Transformation, you will probably develop divine consciousness."
"Then what I am doing now is..."
Zhou Yuan's cultivation level has not yet reached the ninth level.
Huamei said: "You have enhanced insight, which is equivalent to possessing half of the ability of divine consciousness."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan was completely shocked.
Divine consciousness is said to be the invisible eyes of a warrior, able to clearly see everything around him, including shape, size, and even components.
But that is an ability that only those who are strong in the Foundation Establishment Realm can possess, and warriors in the Qi Refining Realm cannot possess it at all.
"Should we continue practicing now and break through to the ninth level before leaving?"
A thought flashed through Zhou Yuan's mind.
"Forget it, I don't know what's going on with my family now. I'm afraid they all think I died in the Diling Mountains, so I have to get out as soon as possible."
With Zhou Yuan's current strength, he is almost invincible in the Qi Refining Realm. He can indeed kill Yan Niu and take his father home.
"Then what to do with these spirit stone veins? Even if we want to leave, we have to find a way to take them with us."
Zhou Canghai said.
Zhou Yuan looked at the large piece of spiritual stone in the cave and immediately grinned.
"Father, mine it first, and I will give you another surprise later." Zhou Yuan smiled mysteriously.
Zhou Canghai was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he waved the Lunfan knife and walked up.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, rocks flew and countless pieces of spiritual stone were mined.
Zhou Yuan also immediately joined in.
Mining spiritual stones is equivalent to mining gold mines, which can only make people more and more excited.
Half an hour later.
After the father and son worked together, they finally mined all the spirit stone veins in the cave.
A large number of spiritual stones piled up into a hill behind the two of them.
Zhou Canghai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhou Yuan, "Boy, do you have any surprises for me?"
Zhou Yuan grinned and immediately waved his hand towards the spiritual stone hill.
Wow!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Lingshi Hill disappeared instantly, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
Zhou Canghai was surprised, "Where is the spirit stone?"
"Inside."
Zhou Yuanyi raised his hand and showed the black ring on his hand in front of Zhou Canghai.
Zhou Canghai is also a man who has seen the world. As soon as he saw this ring, his mouth opened wide and he was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Is this the Najie?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yuan nodded.
Zhou Canghai then raised his head and laughed.
It seems that Zhou Yuan's ability to become so confident and powerful is not accidental. He must have had some incredible adventure.
"Father, I will kill the Yanniu later, and you can take the opportunity to walk out."
Zhou Canghai frowned solemnly, "We, father and son, will join forces to fight out. It is impossible to kill Yan Niu, but it is possible to escape."
Killing the Yan Niu was not that easy. Zhou Canghai still thought Zhou Yuan was joking.
