Ling Zhenfei was feeling quite frustrated, but he understood that the purpose of these two individuals was to obtain the Heavenly God Sword. Thus, they would definitely not leave before the sword had a rightful owner.
Therefore, as long as he continued to follow the main group, he would definitely find the Blood Son.
Ling Zhenfei flew in the air, looking towards the forest, discovering that starlight from campfires was coming from within.
Ling Zhenfei knew that wherever there was firelight, it marked the sect's campgrounds.
The daytime beast stampede had likely caused a number of cultivators to perish under the creatures' feet, and among the large number of cultivators present, survival was uncertain.
Ling Zhenfei always had a feeling that the gorge was not truly a primary target of the Supreme God.
It's unrealistic to completely annihilate all human cultivators within a gorge.
Or perhaps the gorge is just one fairly important location.
Initially, at the source, right where humans first appeared, a portion of human cultivators were slain, and in the gorge, about half of the cultivators were killed.
The remaining cultivators were elites, and these elites could not be easily defeated.
Although the foreign races' armies are strong, when facing powerful cultivators, they appear less formidable, making it difficult to eliminate these cultivators.
Thus, the Supreme God placed the battlefield in the vastness of the forest.
Using the Heavenly God Sword as a lure and the Supreme Divine Palace as a target, all cultivators were drawn into this vast primeval forest.
This forest abounds with venomous snakes and fierce beasts, just like the recent beast stampede which was a very typical problem.
But those earlier stampedes involved only some normally docile animals; the fierce beasts had yet to appear. Once these beasts emerge, it's feared they will be extremely terrifying.
At night, it's the time for Demon Hunters to be active. Demon Hunters are very powerful cultivators and absolute elites among the foreign races.
Each Demon Hunter has their own unique skills, using their strengths to hunt cultivators at night.
Ling Zhenfei truly wondered how many of these people would reach the Supreme Divine Palace.
Yet, with this trick alone, it still led a large number of cultivators to group together, heading towards the Supreme Divine Palace.
Ling Zhenfei also didn't want to overthink; the sky was already darkening. At night, finding a safe place is extremely crucial.
Ling Zhenfei found a large tree and once again dug a tree hollow on it, thinking of how he had shared a tree hollow with Murong Liuqing the previous night, yet now it was only him.
Who knows where Murong Liuqing had gone.
Sitting in the hollow alone, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but think of many things and also recalled numerous people.
He took out his phone to browse through the photos, but there was no signal on it, so he couldn't call anyone even if he wanted to.
Ling Zhenfei thought of his villa, recalling his home, imagining lying in his home's yard under the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree, gazing at the sky.
He could still hear the voices of Zhou Yun or He Lingxiu; everything felt so beautiful.
Or lying on the beach at Moergawa Feixue Island basking in the sun, with Mao Xuejing handing over a grape when he felt like eating, it was a comforting thought.
But now it's all a pipe dream, and he still has to stay in this monster-infested Foreign Land for some time.
Ling Zhenfei sat cross-legged and began his cultivation, focusing entirely on the power of the soul.
Ling Zhenfei's strength had increased rapidly, but after the Chasing Heart Progress, the increase was very slow.
Nonetheless, his Soul Passage was different; its current strength was at the Realm of Reaching Wisdom.
Though his strength was not arrogant, the importance of soul attacks to him was undeniable.
These soul attacks give Ling Zhenfei significant assistance in battle.
However, since his Soul Passage was still at the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, when facing powerful cultivators, his soul attack methods had little effect.
Of course, Ling Zhenfei was not satisfied with the Soul Passage merely providing that moment of unexpected feeling to the opponent. He hadn't taken Soul Passage seriously before coming to the Foreign Land.
Now, he needed to regard it seriously; perhaps once he mastered Soul Passage, he wouldn't have to do anything and could kill invisibly just by relying on it alone.
But as he advanced, he realized that a person's soul power increases as they become stronger. For instance, when Ling Zhenfei advanced from the Realm of Reaching Wisdom to Pursue Heart State, his soul power also ascended from Zhiyi to the Realm of Reaching Wisdom.
It's believed that others are the same; when their strength is at the lowest, soul power is naturally weak. As strength increases, even without cultivating soul power, their soul's intensity continuously rises.
This is why soul power attacks have minimal effect on high-level cultivators.
Because the soul resilience of these high-level cultivators keeps strengthening.
The sole comfort to Ling Zhenfei was for those cultivating soul power, their soul strength surpassed many cultivators first.
And his soul had the ability to attack, meaning the entire Soul Passage cultivation technique, not only enhanced his soul's strength but also his soul attack capabilities.
But there were still many aspects of Soul Passage that Ling Zhenfei had previously overlooked.
The soul power once simply had an attack capability, used to assault others' souls with one's own.
As strength improved, by the time he reached the Zhiyi state, his soul could leave the body to observe things Ling Zhenfei was inconveniently able to view.
This brought an incredibly strong cultivation technique to Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei knew his soul power was now at the Realm of Reaching Wisdom. Logically, more powerful functions should emerge.
Thus, he had to take soul power seriously now, to make it stronger.
Soul power surely had many unknown functions, and the Soul Passage records only detailed how to achieve some strong functions but omitted smaller ones.
For instance, the cultivation technique clearly described the method for Soul Out of Body, but forming a Soul Barrier was something Ling Zhenfei researched on his own.
The reason Ling Zhenfei now paid such attention to soul power was that today, he relied entirely on his soul power to form that barrier, blocking Blood Son's Bloody Evil.
Later, Soul Passage specifically highlighted a technique called shape-shifting shadows.
Which is first using Soul Out of Body, with the physical body here, the soul leaves for another location, then the cultivator uses soul power to instantly move the physical body to where the soul is, this is the so-called shape-shifting shadows.
