C56 Abode Cultivation

After breaking through the Fourth Sky of Body Tempering Realm, Tang Ao began to ponder. Right now, his trip to the primeval forest could be said to be quite fruitful, should he leave now?

With that in mind, Tang Ao jumped out of the spring, put on the clothes he had previously placed on the ground, and started to inspect the scene inside the cave.

More than half of the little snakes that had coiled around the cave entrance before had disappeared now. Most of them had slipped away from the crevices of the cave entrance just to survive, or perhaps because they were afraid of Tang Ao's might. The vegetation on the ground and on the walls of the cave had become extremely dilapidated due to Tang Ao and the Phantom Python's huge battle. Only the heavenly materials that were in their hundreds of years old were able to survive under the poison mist of the Phantom Python.

"I wonder if that Firebird is still waiting for me at the entrance of the cave." Tang Ao laughed bitterly, the Phantom Python that had killed The Origin Martial realm earlier was purely due to luck, and that Firebird was not as heavily injured as that Phantom Python, nor was it as the Phantom Python that was in the process of spawning, so even if Tang Ao wanted to level up his Fourth Sky of Body Tempering Realm, he was not its opponent.

Tang Ao activated his Body Lifting Technique and leaped towards the entrance of the cave. In a few breaths, he was at the cave entrance.

With a wailing sound, a majestic might surged out from the canyon outside the cave. Tang Ao took in a deep breath of cold air and felt as if all the blood and energy in his body had been suppressed to the extreme.

"Damn it, that Firebird is still not leaving!" Tang Ao channeled his Ancient God's Art of Lifting the Heavens, and the astral energy instantly condensed within his entire body, before attaching itself to his ears. Only then did he feel that the pain in his eardrums had lessened somewhat. The pressure brought by the Firebird was simply too great. Even though Tang Ao was the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, his realm was still low.

Peeking out from the crack between the rocks of the cave entrance, he saw the huge body of the Firebird standing in the middle of the valley. Outside the cave, those little snakes with Duan Ti Realm of the first or second heaven all died without a trace of blood, and their corpses were scattered randomly around the canyon. All of the little serpent's corpses were dead without exception.

As if he had detected Zhao Feng's peeping, the Firebird let out an angry cry as its huge body charged straight towards the cave. Tang Ao subconsciously condensed the True Divine Spirit Qi within his body.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the mountain that housed the entire cave trembled, and a large amount of limestone poured down from the cave. Tang Ao's sect attire had become stained gray and gray, and outside the cave, several giant boulders had tumbled down again.

Even with the cave as a shield, Tang Ao still felt the Qi and blood of the Firebird surging.

"Looks like I have truly and thoroughly angered this demon beast with The Origin Martial realm." Tang Ao leaned to the side of the stone wall, and even if he dodged the huge force wave just now, there would still be some aftershock on Tang Ao's body. If it wasn't for the fact that Tang Ao had just risen to the fourth level of Duan Ti Realm, with his physical body from before, he probably would have suffered some light injuries from the aftershock.

After that, the Firebird did not give up its desire to kill Tang Ao. After its enormous wings were spread open, it repeatedly used all of its strength to ram into the cave and for a moment, Tang Ao only felt the sky spinning and the earth spinning, boulders constantly tumbling down from the cave entrance.

"The Firebird also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with the Phantom Python and wanted to occupy this cave. Otherwise, how could a mere Fourth Sky of Body Tempering Realm cultivator like me attract the Firebird to such a furious state?" Tang Ao laughed bitterly.

After a while, the Firebird seemed to have sensed that it was temporarily unable to open the cave abode, so it carried its exhausted body back to its original position and continuously circled above the cave abode, continuing to search for food of value within a radius of a few miles.

Tang Ao clenched his teeth. Although the entrance of the cave was blocked by huge rocks, Tang Ao still had a way out, but once he went out, he would meet such a strong opponent like the Firebird. The only thing he could do now was to return to the cave to cultivate, and wait to see what would happen.

"The little snake in the cave can be used as the serpent's broth. The treasures and fresh spring water are enough for me to keep this up for a month. If I can recover my spiritual sea level, then I won't have to worry about these trivial hours." Tang Ao laughed bitterly for a while, then returned to his cave and immersed himself back in the spring.

The first level of Ancient God's Art of Lifting the Heavens corresponded to one's Duan Ti Realm. Through breathing, one could control the vital energy and blood to the point of being able to control it freely, control the vital energy and blood, and then form the initial stage of a warrior's might.

Tang Ao felt that his body was continuously strengthening and as time passed, his internal organs felt a burning sensation, but the surface of his skin felt a warm sensation. This golden spring eye was extremely beneficial to the surface of his skin, his flesh, bones and even his internal organs.

After Tang Ao activated the Ancient God's Art of Lifting the Heavens, he felt his entire body starting to heat up, his internal organs seemed to be on fire again, this was because the Ancient God's Art of Lifting the Heavens was increasing the rate at which he could absorb the energy from the spring water.

Three days later, Tang Ao once again opened his eyes.

He jumped out of the spring, his muscles bulging with power, his whole body emitting a powerful aura.

Tang Ao's current physical strength alone was enough to contend against a practitioner with a cultivation at the third level of the Duan Ti Realm. In other words, in a battle against Jiang Qingyi, if Tang Ao did not use his Fate Soul and did not use his astral energy, he would be able to tie with Jiang Qingyi who possessed two eight levels of Heavenly Fate Souls. He would not be at a disadvantage, and there was even the possibility of defeating him.

His body could contend against a third level Duan Ti Realm practitioner. This meant that not only was his skin as hard as iron, he was invulnerable to swords and spears, and it also meant that his muscles and bones had been strengthened to an unbelievable height. Even his internal organs and internal organs had been greatly strengthened.

"It's been three days. It should be time to leave." Tang Ao opened his eyes, and immediately jumped out from the spring, and rushed out of the cave.

He peered through the crack in the rock.

"That damnable Firebird still hasn't left." Tang Ao frowned. From the time he came to the cave to when he was cultivating, he calculated that half a month had already passed, and the Firebird was actually resting here all day, guarding the cave.

Firebird had really taken a fancy to this cave.

"Sigh, when will I be able to see the light of day again?" Tang Ao laughed bitterly.
