[Gengxu, the Year of the Dog, the ninth day of the first lunar month]
Today we arrived at the Jiuhe Realm. There are many rivers in this realm, and the water vapor is rich. Those who practice water magic can see various aquatic monsters everywhere. Every city and city is built along the river.
There is also a giant building boat as the market, equipped with all kinds of facilities and shops. You can float along the water and travel throughout the Jiuhe Basin in three years.
The war in the Ziwei Star Alliance has not affected this place, and everything I see is a peaceful scene.
Not long after escaping from the battlefield, this situation made me feel like I was dreaming.
Let me first find a place to write letters to everyone to report that they are safe, especially Anan.

[Gengxu, Year of the Dog, the twentieth day of the first lunar month]
After wandering around for a few days, I finally chose to settle in Tianya City, the largest city in the Jiuxiao River Basin. Jiuxiao River is the end of the Jiuhe River and is located at the easternmost edge of the Jiuhe Realm. It is a gathering place for casual cultivators. There are not too powerful forces around it.
After selling a batch of Taixuan gold in exchange for spiritual stones, I rented a river bottom cave.
This cave is located under the Jiuxiao River. The river bed is like mountains. Cave mansions are set up in various places on the river bed with magic formations. The environment is quiet and the water aura is rich. The key is to be concealed enough.
I chose a cave in the most remote location, with no one renting nearby.
After completely sealing the cave with the formation plate given to me by Master Fuyi, I was finally able to calm down and plan what I wanted to do next.
The first step is to refining the White Dragon Spear. Now the Ten Thousand Years Cold Stalactite, Taixuan Fine Gold, Sacred Branches, and Candle Dragon Essence and Blood are all ready.
However, this matter cannot be rushed. I still need to use Taixuan Fine Gold to refine something, familiarize myself with the characteristics of Taixuan Fine Gold, and increase the success rate of refining the weapon.
In addition, I swallowed too much demonic and turbid energy outside Songfeng City in the Heavenly Spear Realm, and it has been absorbed into my spine and has not been fully digested. I need to practice for a period of time to straighten out the aura in my body.
The same goes for Ji Xiang. He ate too much and couldn't digest it. He still got bigger and fell into the lotus cave. His stomach was hard and bulging, and he didn't want to spit it out.
Speaking of it, Jixiang's stomach is really powerful. Ordinary things will be corroded when they encounter turbid air, but Jixiang has nothing to do with it, it is just difficult to digest.
I don’t know if it’s the effect of the improved version of “Swallowing Heaven Technique” or the reason for the last Tai Chi Yin-Yang Thunder forging my body when I was going through the tribulation.
Also, when it gnawed on the prison dragon nail, it also swallowed some of Ao Juan's blood. This may be due to many reasons. I am not Yun Shang, so I can't figure it out at the moment.
While cursing, Bai Jiuyou stepped on Ji Xiang's belly and used the energy of chaos to draw the turbid air out of the body.
Then... Jixiang pooped a big, big shit, as big as a house!
As a result, Liantai Cave was full of stench and the environment was terrible.
After being auspicious and refreshed, his body recovered and his aura was better than before. He returned to his rat's nest to practice in seclusion. He should be able to improve a lot this time.
Bai Jiuyou and I separated ourselves in the most remote part of Liantai Cave. We temporarily placed the auspicious shit and black-armored bee swarms there and sealed them with a large formation.
The black-armored bee swarm also experienced strange changes. After being taken back by me that day, it was affected by the turbid air and was still manic and uneasy. When they returned to the Liantai Cave, they actually started to fight and devour each other.
Originally there were two queens, and the overall number of bees in the colony was well over a million. Now there is only one queen left, and there are less than a hundred.
However, these hundred black-armored wasps, together with the queen, all formed cocoons in Jixiang's huge excrement, and there were signs of advancement. Perhaps they would become more powerful after emerging from the cocoons.

[Xinhai, the Year of the Pig, the eighth day of March]
It was just a little while for me to practice meditation, but more than a year had passed since I woke up, and I didn't feel the passage of time at all. It seemed like a blink of an eye to me.
Sure enough, the higher your cultivation level, the less you feel about time.
Less than 30% of the swallowed demonic and turbid qi were digested. The main reason was that the turbid qi was difficult to eliminate and took a lot of time. If it weren't for the chaotic qi in my body, there really would be nothing I could do to deal with the turbid qi.
It turns out that my Xianzhi bloodline can't purify the turbid air. I also absorbed a little green lotus energy from the jade bamboo flute, but it's a pity that it was too little.
In this world, everything falls, and the Qinglian clan is the nemesis of turbidity.
In order to transform the turbid air into the energy of chaos, a corresponding amount of various spiritual energy and demonic energy is needed, and only after reaching a certain balance can it be transformed.
I still can't figure out the magnitude and degree of this balance.
The reason why I woke up from trance today is because my original reserve of spiritual energy was exhausted and I was hungry.
Go out and do chivalry!

[Xinhai, Year of the Pig, April 16th]
Returning from a heroic act of righteousness, he is three cents full.
As expected, an omnivorous diet is required to successfully transform the energy of chaos, but my current consumption of cultivation is far greater than what I eat.
There is not much chaos energy left in the Liantai Cave, and it is estimated that it is only enough for me to cultivate to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
There were too few bounties in Tianya City, and it took only one month for all three clones to be cleared.
Some of the demons with bounties on their heads ran too far and may no longer be in the Jiuhe Realm, so they could not be completed for the time being. Others seemed to be seeking revenge, so I didn't get involved.
I hope that Mr. Shu is an upright Mr. Nascent Soul. Next time I change my identity as Shenzhou Sanren and go to investigate.
So hungry!
I drew a picture of the man I saw in the dream of Taixuan Monument last time. I inquired about it at the Star Alliance station in Tianya City, but to no avail.
This guy had better be dead, otherwise I'll catch him and see if I can kill him!
I have carefully studied the Taixuan Stele, and it is indeed fake. The material used in the stele is of the wrong year, and most of the runes used in the formation on it are new runes, not ancient runes.
The floating dream formation inside is very complex, with more than seventy levels in total. The skills and abilities of the people who set up the formation are almost as good as Master Fuyi's.
I feel that there is something in the center of the array, which is also the core supporting the entire floating dream. I can only find it after I dismantle the entire array layer by layer.
Still so hungry and want to eat people.
Forget it, I'd better go back and eat some Taixuanjin. Anyway, I dug a lot.
After eating, continue to use Taixuan Fine Gold to refine armors for Ji Xiang and the Rat Cubs, and also use Taixuan Fine Gold to transform the dragon-armored puppet soldiers.

[Xinhai, Year of the Pig, May 17th]
I tried it today, and I actually saw Anan in my dream.
There were no foreign enemies this time. I sat down with her and had a good chat. It was very difficult for her to challenge swordsmen from all walks of life in the Fluctuating Light Realm. She also offended many people and was often hunted down, but she didn't feel bitter at all.
She told me that her sword heart was becoming more and more pure. She loved licking blood from the tip of the sword every day. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't draw the sword for a day.
Anan also told me that the Zhenwu Immortal Sect sent people to the Ziwei Star Alliance, and Xie Jingshan was among them. She had seen Xie Jingshan in her dream a few days ago, and he was very different from before.
He talks less and is more mature and calm.
The war in the Ziwei Star Alliance is tense. The human monks want to recapture the lost Sky Spear Realm, but the demons cannot retreat and the human race is very passive.
We pursue different paths and have begun to walk on different paths. Anan and I can only pray that Xie Jingshan is safe.
After waking up from the dream, feeling depressed, I went out to do some heroic deeds!

[Renzi, Year of the Rat, third day of August]
After more than a year of retreat, I woke up hungry!
I almost finished the Taixuan Gold, and my cultivation level is progressing rapidly.
Nowadays, longevity is long, so advancement should not be rushed, but must be done steadily.
The main thing is that the strength of my soul really can't keep up. The more I practice, the more exhausted I become. I can only stop practicing for a while to find a way to solve this problem.
Only the last eleven levels of the magic circle in the Taixuan Monument have been dismantled. Jixiang is still in retreat, and the black-armored bee swarm has not broken out of its cocoon. Bai Jiuyou is wholeheartedly raising the little Lei Jian Lieque. It is about to form an elixir to overcome the tribulation. .
I'm too hungry. Let's go out and do some chivalry.

[Renzi, Year of the Rat, October 11th]
Tianya City can no longer stay, the peace is too great, and there are not even a few young people to be found.
The chivalrous and righteous plan was put on hold!
I'm ready to start refining the White Dragon Spear at any time.
But before that, it is necessary to formulate the protective elixir for Xiaolei Jian Lieque.
It’s time to leave this miserable place called Tianya City!
I heard that there are eight major families in the Baxian River Basin in the upper reaches of the Jiuxiao River, and their relationships are complicated and uneven.
There is also a Zhuge family who is good at puppetry. You can pay a visit.
I hope to find a way to transform the core mechanism of the puppet clone!
