Humanity's Great Sage

Then, he remembered something else. Ever since he achieved Enlightenment, he would feel slightly uncomfortable after every cultivation session because it felt as if he was covered in a layer of dust. That situation had only become more and more obvious after he entered the Spirit Creek Battlefield and consumed a lot of the Spirit Restoring Pills. On the contrary, this situation had not occurred during the period where he refined his vitality into Qi and did not consume the Spirit Restoring Pills.

After combining all of these facts together, he finally came to a realisation. The Skill Tree had the ability to purify Spiritual Power. Thus, all the Pill Poison he accumulated from consuming Spirit Pills while cultivating had been burned off by the Skill Tree. That was why he had suffered no hidden dangers from consuming so many Spirit Pills during his cultivation. Since the burned Pill Poison could not just disappear without reason, it had been excreted from his body. That was what caused him to feel as though he was covered in a layer of dust after every cultivation session.

Everything became clear now. All his previous conjectures had been confirmed, but the results were not that surprising. Nevertheless, he would no longer experience any psychological pressure from consuming Spirit Pills while cultivating in the future after learning the truth.

He relaxed his mind and continued to guide the Pill Power in his abdomen. The Spiritual Power in his 21st Spiritual Point gradually increased as a result.

At first, Yi Yi had monitored him nervously. However, she accidentally fell asleep when she saw that his condition was no longer abnormal. The Heavens only knew how a Spirit could fall asleep…

She was awakened by the sound of something slicing through the air. By the time she opened her eyes again, the sky had already gotten bright and the bonfire next to her had long since died. Not far away, Lu Ye stood topless with his knife in one hand. He was continuously making slashing motions. Each move could not be considered fast but his expression was meticulous.

[This guy… Is he made of steel?] The corner of her eyes twitched at the sight.

The truth was that he had slept for six hours last night. Although a cultivator’s body was stronger than that of an ordinary person, they still needed rest. That was all the more so for a low-level cultivator like him who had yet to completely separate himself from the limits of ordinary men. It was just that he knew how difficult the road ahead was going to be, so he could not afford to waste any time.

By the time he finished his morning training, Yi Yi and the tiger had already gathered enough firewood to start a fire. Therefore, he took out a section of the snake’s body from his Storage Bag and tossed it to them to handle.

After they ate their fill, they continued on their journey.

The journey was not as nice as he had imagined. During the bumpy journey, he swallowed a Spirit Restoring Pill and tried to cultivate whilst riding on the tiger’s back. As long as he could not solve this problem, he would waste a lot of time on this journey.

Along the way, they would occasionally encounter some low-level cultivators passing by in a haste. It was just that the tiger would avoid them in advance. In any case, as long as none of those cultivators were sick in the head, none of them would dare to challenge the tiger that they saw from afar. Besides, they might not even manage to catch up to the tiger.

When night fell, they would find a suitable place to rest as usual. He would then eat some snake meat, practise his swordplay, consume some Spirit Pills, and cultivate. Today’s progress had been fairly good. Although he still felt that riding on the tiger’s back was very bumpy, he at least managed to start cultivating. It was just that his efficiency was rather low.

At dawn, he took out the 10-point map and compared his current position with his starting position to determine the direction of their travels and their nearest destination. Despite riding on the tiger for two days, they had yet to leave the mountain range of Green Cloud Mountain. That just went to show how vast this mountain range was.

Another day later, it was evening when Lu Ye gazed at the city not far away and let out a long sigh. They had finally arrived at the nearest destination. This place was labelled as Green Cloud City No.5 on the 10-point map.
