Lu Ren paused for a moment, and finally, under Subodhi's anxious mood, he shut off his perception of the outside world.
With his five senses confined to within three meters, Subodhi's suspended heart finally settled.
Lu Ren's growth rate was simply monstrous. Since stepping into Bright Awakening, he seemed to be advancing at rocket speed.
He could no longer see at which step of Bright Awakening Lu Ren had arrived.
However, being able to see the path in the Inner Realm that he himself could not see, Lu Ren's spirit had already advanced beyond his own.
Even Kong Qiu, stronger than him, was suppressed by Lu Ren. He had no mind to play tricks anymore.
The priority was how to butter him up to get himself out.
Lu Ren was probably already pursuing the path of Shakyamuni and Li Er.
After blocking Subodhi, Lu Ren's eyes flickered, with coldness in his gaze. If in this world the Bright Awakenings are slaughtering people casually to gain resources for advancement.
Then leveling the field seemed more substantial.
The casual words of Jade Bamboo were evidently commonplace.
At the moment, Lu Ren had no further interest in exploration. He had already obtained the information he desired, and next, he just needed to verify it slowly. After all, there is a great difference between beast body and human body structure.
The vertical eye on his brow opened, measured the direction, and began moving forward at full speed.
His pants had already torn, and he could only use some cloth strips to cover himself.
Running continuously, he traveled nearly a thousand miles before seeing signs of human habitation, but mostly with anxious expressions, carrying large bags and fleeing with their families.
Seeing this, Lu Ren felt compassionate in his heart. Even though he was not of this world, seeing such plight still fueled his anger even more.
If Huaxia confirmed the work of tracing Xu Fu's burial, the people of this world might be developed from those twenty thousand people Xu Fu took away, sharing the same origin with Huaxia.
All with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin.
After traveling nearly another thousand miles, he finally reached a town where the population was denser, no longer as despairing and numb-faced as those a thousand miles away.
Instead, the atmosphere was filled with harmonious smiles.
It was a small city, with Essence, Qi, and Spirit-rich elite soldiers guarding the city walls, evidently skilled in cultivated Military Boxing.
The peaceful aura here was a stark contrast to the refugee destitution a thousand miles away.
For a moment, Lu Ren fell silent.
"Ding, you seem to have gained extra insight into the Red Dust, and you have gained some insight into the Extremely Difficult to Conquer Land of the Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path."
Lu Ren was speechless, not anticipating that witnessing this would also improve his Skill Level.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Have you heard? The Daqian was breached by demons, the country fell, and those refugees are displaced, desolate and hungry everywhere."
A group of merchants sighed and shook their heads.
"Daqian is not like our New Dynasty, those inside are all being kept captive."
An old man nearby heard this, smirked coldly, didn't say much, and walked away scratching his head, muttering something under his breath.
Lu Ren heard it clearly.
"This New Dynasty, just changed the soup but not the medicine, only the demons became humans."
Lu Ren paused for quite a while, then turned to find an opportunity to enter the city. In a clothing store, he took out some scattered silver to exchange for a set of clothes.
These silver pieces were casually picked up from a run-down temple, now proving quite useful.
After changing clothes, he went to a seemingly decent tavern, ordered a table of dishes, and began eating slowly.
...
...
A day later, at the border of East Pole Continent, on the mountain where Mountain Lady Jade Bamboo was buried, came an old Taoist with an immortal aura.
The white bones lining the path to the mountain were viewed as customary by the old Taoist, only to see that the mountain gate was no longer clad with jade columns, but supported by two shabby wooden sticks on the ground, the plaque above already shattered into pieces.
The Master of Ceremonies whose head Lu Ren crushed left nothing but clothes on the ground.
The Taoist's relaxed demeanor turned solemn. He stepped forward to pick up the suona twisted into a pretzel, inspected it carefully, and silently ascended the mountain.
With a tap of his foot, the magnetic field beneath the old Taoist coalesced into propulsion, shooting him out dozens of meters.
Soon, he ascended the not-so-large mountain top. Upon seeing the ruined temple and Jade Bamboo turned into white bones, the solemn expression instantly turned gloomy.
The Taoist hurriedly checked, only to find that the tiger-like ancient bones had already been crushed and the marrow extracted.
A touch of the bones caused them to crumble like tofu residue.
The nutrients in these bones had been completely absorbed.
The Taoist turned to look at the corpses of Little Demons littering the ground, his face chilling to the extreme.
After a long while, he pulled a Thousand Paper Cranes from his sleeve, wrote on it for a moment, and the crane staggered and flew from his palm.
Seeing this, the Taoist's expression slightly relaxed.
"It's still usable after all..."
The Taoist then followed the paper crane, slowly advancing in the direction Lu Ren had gone.
...
...
After eating, Lu Ren did not rest, speeding along and catching some Exotic Beasts of decent Energy Levels to fill his stomach.
During a rare break to cook meat, Lu Ren took out a sphere excavated from the brain of the giant tiger that Jade Bamboo had become.
It appeared much more aesthetically pleasing than the irregular ellipse from the Pig Demon's head.
He could clearly perceive the amazing active energy contained within these two spheres, and the Energy Level of Jade Bamboo's sphere was much higher than that of the Pig Demon, seemingly consisting of purified free pulse particles from the air forming active energy.
Lu Ren suddenly recalled the night when moonlight cast a silver glow, illuminating the land, the quantity of special pulse particles in the air doubled.
Could moonlight activate these special pulse particles in the air?
How to utilize them?
He remembered the unique meridian system in the Pig Demon's body structure clearly.
At that time, he ate the tiger meat too hastily and the body transformation was too painful, causing him not to observe it before swallowing.
Lu Ren roasted meat while taking out a Highly Concentrated Nutrient Pill from behind his waist.
Only a dozen Highly Concentrated Nutrient Pills remained. Now returning is not only about reporting back the information he knew but crucially about supplementing his nutritional needs, which is of utmost importance.
He also brought along a bag of Blood Corn.
Although this world could sustain him by hunting Exotic Beast Demons, it was overwhelmingly time-consuming, and if he wanted to ignore these trivial matters, he would have to join a faction in this world.
Lu Ren had no intention of doing so. Obtaining the secret manuals of this world was quite simple; he already acquired one.
The Supreme Profound Sect is among the top sects in Kunlun, and the Supreme Profound Heart Sutra provided Lu Ren this world's cultivation system, greatly broadening his perspective.
"There are actually demons..."
Lu Ren murmured a few words, chewing the half-cooked roasted meat.
It's not that he didn't want to research the demons thoroughly, but after promoting his Energy Level through the Ten Lands, his perception of danger became immediately clear, vaguely feeling that he should venture out.
This place wasn't urgent. He had already memorized the Pig Demon's meridian system, planning to research it later to see if it could integrate into his body. If energy transmission was feasible, it would significantly alter his combat style.
After all, the Martial Arts Research Institute had conducted similar studies; he could present the Pig Demon's findings to them later.
For now, Lu Ren refocused his thoughts and concentrated on the roasted meat before him.
He had tasted this beast's meat before; the texture was tender without any gaminess, even raw it was quite palatable, and with seasoning, roasted to medium rare, it was delicious.
After eating, Lu Ren used Heart Eye to scan Qi, re-confirmed his direction to ensure he wasn't deviating, and then continued straight ahead.
In the chase with Kong Qiu, they ran a great distance, making the journey so long that even Lu Ren couldn't endure it, directly unlocking the Ten Lands, restoring the Fifth Difficult-to-Conquer Land Bodhisattva Statue, and leaping with full force.
With each leap, he could shoot nearly a hundred meters before barely landing, particularly from high ground to low ground, the leap distance became even more exaggerated.
The deeper he went, the older and thicker the trees became, prompting Lu Ren to swing from the sturdy branches like a monkey.
He traveled at full speed, without rest, for six days and nights until he finally saw the location of the Lighthouse Country's permanent fortress base from a distance.
This base had been utterly destroyed by Tigos, and Tigos had been driven away, while scattered personnel worked on clearing the rubble for reconstruction preparation.
