Chapter 46: Wilderness Cultivation

Chapter 46: Wilderness Cultivation

As night fell, Tang San silently slipped through the window, ascending to the rooftop of the two-story building.

As he sat down cross-legged on the rooftop, his eyes shimmered with a faint light. It was a soft golden halo—not the Purple Demon Eyes, but the Discerning Eye.

Instantly, the world before him transformed, becoming fantastical and strange, as elements of various attributes and colors became vividly clear in his vision.

Recently, as he cultivated the Discerning Eye, he felt his spiritual power and Purple Demon Eyes strengthen with his mastery of the technique.

If only I could see all the way to Kali City!

he thought wistfully.

The image of Mei Gongzi surfaced in his mind, and Tang San's heart warmed instantly.

His spiritual power fluctuated silently, guiding the green specks of elemental energy to envelop the building beneath him.

Under the guidance of the Discerning Eye, he could feel the power to manipulate these elements.

Immediately, the wind elemental energy within the building below became noticeably denser. With the help of the Discerning Eye, Tang San was actually enhancing the wind element and speeding up everyone’s cultivation!

A cluster of green light slowly gathered in the palm of his outstretched right hand, emitting a soft, green glow. It was the wind elemental energy, slowly condensing.

This external wind element resonated with the power of the Wind Wolf bloodline imprinted within him. Tang San's mind was filled with information about the wind element's transformations and characteristics.

"To truly elevate humanity, humans must possess their own power. The power of the Demonic God Transformation is, after all, borrowed from the demons, not truly human. Only by finding a way for humans to cultivate on their own can they truly stand their ground in this world," he mused.

As Tang San's own strength grew, so did his understanding of the power system of this world.

The spiritual energy of this world was incredibly abundant. In fact, it was the most dense Tang San had ever seen. Falan Planet was still a normal planet, not on the level of the divine realms. However, the concentration of spiritual energy on this planet was almost on par with the celestial spirit energy of the divine realms. Particularly in large cities—the spiritual energy in Kali City was much denser than in Wind Wolf Town, likely due to the fact that the cities were using some method to condense it.

However, this world's spiritual energy was not without its issues. For one, it was domineering. The force of this plane was extremely aggressive, restraining all outside powers. Tang San encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique precisely due to the suppression of this plane.

Yet, the spiritual energy of this plane was very compatible with the daemons. That was why various daemon clans possessed spiritual intelligence and naturally strong talents and abilities.

This meant that the ruler of this plane favored both the demons and the nymphs whom Tang San had yet to encounter. In contrast, humans and some other vassal races received no such compassion, which rendered them unable to cultivate by themselves.

This led to the necessity of aligning oneself with the demons or nymphs to cultivate in this world. Hence, the emergence of the Demonic God Transformation.

To break free from the plane's suppression, Tang San would need to return to the peak state of his previous life. But given the current circumstances, even breaking through to the god level in the future was a massive issue. Upon reaching that breakthrough, he would have nowhere to hide in this plane and would surely be discovered by the plane's ruler. Forget about advancing to higher levels; he would be lucky if he wasn’t hunted down by every being on the planet.

In other words, this plane was a double-edged sword for him. His cultivation speed was far higher than in his past life due to the rich spiritual energy. However, breaking through bottlenecks and regaining his god king strength was an extreme challenge.

Feeling the wind element within the building beneath him gradually overflow, Tang San silently descended, not returning to his room but stealthily slipping out of Wind Wolf Town.

Entering the forest, Tang San took a deep breath and sped up instantly. He was enveloped in green light and the wind element energy boosted his speed, allowing him to move swiftly through the forest like a streak of green light.

Thanks to the Discerning Eye, he was able to agilely dodge the large trees, maintaining high speed without slowing down.

He ran wildly for half an hour before stopping, leaving a mark on the trunk of a nearby large tree. Only then did he return.

He was testing his speed.

It was a three-day journey from Wind Wolf Town to Kali City. How long would it take if he sprinted at full speed?

He couldn't easily leave Wind Wolf Town, as he didn't even have the status of a vassal just yet. However, he continuously trained his speed, aiming to reach Wind Wolf Town faster in the future, even if just for a glimpse of her.

The ability Tang San most desired to absorb from the demon races was actually flight. With it, a three-day journey could be covered in half a day. If he left in the evening, he could arrive in Kali City by midnight. Unfortunately, during the Collision Competition, he had been unable to absorb a flying ability.

The innate ability of the White-Crested Falcon was in fact the Falcon Eye, and flying was merely part of its natural physical capabilities. If Tang San could acquire the White-Crested Falcon demon's Demonic God Transformation, he could fly using that transformation. However, he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and he didn’t even have the Wind Wolf bloodline, much less the bloodline of a White-Crested Falcon demon, so naturally, it was impossible.

On his way back, Tang San pondered over this issue.

He had the abilities of more than one race now, but he didn't possess the ability of Demonic God Transformation, and it would be a risk if he truly reached a large city in the future. What would he do if the demon races demanded him to transform while checking for vassals?

Initially, he hadn’t been particularly interested in Demonic God Transformation. As a human, what good would come from transforming into a demon?

But the thought of flying, and the possibility of going to Kali City to see Mei Gongzi, made him view Demonic God Transformation differently.

Returning to Wind Wolf Town and his residence, Tang San sat cross-legged on his bed to cultivate.

His continuous absorption and sustained cultivation had recently brought the Mysterious Heaven Technique to the pinnacle of the fourth order. And, as he expected, he encountered another bottleneck. Without a doubt, this time, he had to devour higher-level Wind Wolf bloodline power to advance to the fifth order.

And when he reached the fifth order, he should be able to defend himself well enough around these parts.

When he concentrated inward on the Mysterious Heaven Technique, four skill imprints shone faintly within his energy vortex. The green glow representing the Wind Wolf Transformation was the strongest, followed by the Discerning Eye. Both were at the fourth order. The Leopard Flash and the Ironhide Shield imprints, on the other hand, had been demoted to the third order after being stripped once, and they glowed dimmer.

These ability imprints endowed him with the innate abilities of different demons. It was essentially the Mysterious Heaven Technique infusing them with energy, allowing the imprints to unleash corresponding abilities. So...was it possible to use the same mechanism and mimic a Demonic God Transformation? Even a partial one would be excellent!

Tang San had been pondering this issue recently and tried various things, like momentarily merging the imprints with his bloodline.

However, upon merging, he encountered a problem: as soon as they integrated with his bloodline, the Mysterious Heaven Technique’s energy would quickly retract the abilities or, rather, expel them from his bloodline. The abilities seemed to exist only separately and couldn't truly merge with his bloodline.

A hint of weariness surfaced in his mental world, and with a thought, Tang San realized that the Discerning Eye had remained half-open due to his contemplation on the way back.

This half-open state was a mysterious condition where he didn't observe the external world but instead enhanced his own perception of himself. This was a benefit of the original Discerning Heart's Gaze. It made Tang San's mind clearer and his thoughts more lucid, and it was particularly useful when pondering. By not projecting the Discerning Eye outward, the energy consumption was much lower, which allowed him to sustain it for longer.

Just as he was about to deactivate the Discerning Eye, suddenly, Tang San sensed some commotion upstairs.
