The First Volume: Desolate Expansion

  A hundred years is a lifetime for modern people, and it's rare to live from birth to old age with a hundred years, very few, not unexpectedly or due to illness, like Ding Yue!

  But for Ding Yue who was cultivating, a hundred years seemed like a dream, passing in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, with just one closure and opening of his eyes, several months had already passed.

  So this century, Ding Yue's passed very quickly and very fulfilling.

  A hundred years later, the law force in his body was like a river, surging and unceasing. When the pale blue law force flowed, he could even hear the sound of gurgling water. His dantian was like a lake, flowing and circulating without stopping!

  Although he hasn't reached the accomplishments of a legendary immortal as recorded in ancient texts, Ding Yue felt that he had already reached a critical point, as if he was about to take that step at any moment!

  Perhaps due to his cultivation, Ding Yue still looked youthful, in his early twenties. At this moment, although he was dressed simply, he stood upright with a straight back, his skin radiating a precious light, his eyes gleaming with an unsteady intensity, shining brightly with spirit.

  "I am Hongyuan Dingyue, no longer the past life's Dingyue! Heaven's way is my witness!"

  Ding Yue feared some unexpected consequences, so he made a vow to the sky like some of his predecessors and shouted loudly.

  But it seems that today's Tao is not empty, during a nap, Ding Yue shouted something and felt nothing, it's better to fart and hear the sound.

  Damn it! Ding Yue muttered to himself, returning to the cave to cultivate, greatly disappointed. Experience kills people! As a small fry, who cares about you? Ah, mother, even if you're an anomaly, you need to have great magical powers and divine abilities to qualify as an anomaly!

  Today, Ding Yue rarely didn't cultivate because he felt that the big egg seemed to have a heartbeat-like sound that was getting louder and louder in recent days.

  The big egg is about to hatch.

  What's inside? Ting Yue was filled with curiosity and really wanted to open it up and take a look.

  Ten days later, the big egg surprisingly floated in place, jumping non-stop in mid-air, and the heartbeat-like sound even became a continuous line. The entire cave was filled with rumbling sounds.

  A chilling breath spread out.

  Ding Yue saw this and couldn't help but curse silently. He stomped his right foot, and his body had already floated out of the cave.

  The aura revealed by Da Dan's birth was so astonishing that it made him feel a little dizzy and his spirit felt bewildered.

  Ding Yue's eyes had become somewhat heavy, what was it? Was it the son of the demon master? That big Peng bird?

  Ding Yue thought of those great books, but immediately he denied this idea, this is the mainland, and the lair of the demon master is in Beiming.

  Besides, it's impossible for a powerful sorcerer like him to leave his own son in such a desolate and remote place.

  And this place is not like the other mansions of the demon masters, it's too low-end! The majestic heavenly court demon master, a generation of heroes, the overlord-level figure who looks down on the world, lives in this desolate mountain and wild ridge, what a joke!

  Standing in mid-air, Ding Yue felt something was off. The air around him seemed to have a murderous aura. He looked up and saw the sky filled with raging winds, dark clouds gathering, and red-black clouds converging. In the blink of an eye, the clouds turned as black as ink, but with a hint of blood-red glow.

  Evil spirit? Ting Yue retreated again, looking at that dark cloud energy, his eyes were very serious.

  It's a murderous atmosphere!

  A loud noise echoed through the cave with a "Boom".

  "A loud, wild beast roar echoed from within the mountain cave, shaking the surrounding area for miles around, while the ominous aura in the sky also transformed into a stream of cloud and poured into the cave."

  In the blink of an eye, the deafening heartbeat disappeared, and there were no more beastly roars echoing in the cave.

  After a while, Ding Yue calmed down and held the yellowish-brown whip in his hand, walking into the cave.

  "Monkey?"

  Ding Yue was speechless, who can explain to him how monkeys are born from eggs? It doesn't make sense!

  Well? This world is full of wonders, nothing is impossible, and Ding Yue could only comfort himself like this.

  What appeared before Ding Yue's eyes was a less than half-meter-tall, black-and-red-haired, long-tailed ape-like creature with arms that reached its knees and red-thread-filled eyes.

  The little guy's IQ was obviously not as low as those beasts, his eyes were filled with red threads, but the two eyeballs were rolling around, revealing a hint of spirituality.

  The little guy was very affectionate with Ding Yue, two fluffy little paws stretched out, grasping Ding Yue tightly and crying loudly.

  Ding Yue put down his guard and reached out to touch the little guy's head, smiling warmly.

  "Big egg!" slipped out of his mouth very habitually, and Ding Yue's mouth twitched involuntarily.

  The little guy, although unable to speak, was clearly displeased with the appellation. With a loud "whoosh", he kicked his legs and Ding Yue felt his head spinning, his mind racing, and knew that the little guy on his head was furiously stomping in anger.

  He reached out and grabbed the little guy, pulling him down and holding him up to his face. With a very serious expression, he said: "This name is not bad, it's decided then, Big Egg. Hahaha..."

  In the end, Ding Yue burst out laughing without any elegance.

  But the little guy was furiously punching and protesting, but obviously, he had no right to speak now that he couldn't talk, and was directly ignored by Ding Yue.

  The little guy was very mischievous, except for sleeping, he was jumping up and down, running up and down the mountain, occasionally letting out two tender cries, which reduced Ding Yue's practice time a lot, but Ding Yue didn't have any dissatisfaction, and was very happy.

  Being able to endure loneliness and cultivate for a hundred years was already quite an achievement for him, after all he used to be just an ordinary person.

  Having someone by your side is nice.

  Two hundred years have passed like flowing water, and they will never come back.

  In these two hundred years, the little guy didn't grow up at all, but Ding Yue broke through the bottleneck and reached the realm of immortality, achieving enlightenment and becoming a celestial being. His cultivation made rapid progress after entering the late stage of True Immortal, only to enter another bottleneck.

  Although his magical powers were still growing steadily, his realm had been stagnant for a long time. The "Practicing Qi" notes no longer worked, and only the classics from his past life could occasionally inspire him to move forward. However, his magical powers were still growing slowly, giving him some momentum!

  Lack of cultivation methods.

  He usually just refined his magical powers every day, carefully consolidating his foundation. Or studied those magical techniques and divine abilities.

  He and Zong Kui practiced martial arts on Mount Tai.

  Hurry Mountain Whip, top grade Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure, can drive mountains and hurry peaks, has the power of ten thousand soldiers.

  Ding Yue finally felt his protagonist halo start shining, and his golden finger was activated.

  Just grab one casually and it's a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

  Top-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure, there are hardly any in this world, let alone in the hands of great masters, not to mention top-grade ones.

  Although it was just a superficial exercise, Ding Yue still caught a glimpse of the mighty power of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

  Living up to its reputation!

  Cultivating Lingbao is still difficult for Ding Yue, but it's not without progress, and each of the congenital Lingbao has a congenital indestructible spiritual light.

  This innate indestructible spiritual light is the source power of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing the secrets of the Great Way. If one can penetrate it, achieving immortality and becoming a sage is not a problem.

  So Ding Yue was very spirited and ambitious, with a strong competitive spirit.

  "Roar~~~~"

  Ding Yue was suddenly startled by a loud cry in his ear while he was contemplating the Lingbao, it was the familiar voice of the little guy, but something was off, why did this voice sound so urgent and angry?

  There's a problem!

  Ding Yue stood up straight and took the whip, in the blink of an eye he disappeared, out of the mountain cave.

  At the foot of the mountain, the little guy was less than half a meter tall, but at this moment he was incredibly majestic, his whole body radiating a black and red glow, his eyes wide open, his fists clenched, and he was constantly roaring towards the front.

  "Woof woof! What's it called? Isn't it just a monkey? Call again and it's still a monkey!"

  A large black dog over one meter high and more than two meters long, with shiny black fur, wagging its head and tail, yet speaking human language, looking at the little guy with disdain.

  "Hmm...Hmph!...Exactly!"

  Next to him, a blue-furred donkey kicked at the pebbles with its hooves, each of which had a tuft of white fur on it. It let out a loud bray and nodded its head in a human-like manner.

  "Roar~~~~" The little guy roared at the two guys, his fists waving non-stop. If he wasn't worried that his body was too small, he would have probably charged up already.

  But I endured it!

  "Woof woof! You're just barking loudly, can you actually talk?"

  The big black dog raised its head and spoke human language with disdain.

  Ding Yue couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of him, seeing that the little guy was at a disadvantage, and hurriedly fell from the air.

  "It's just that even if it can talk, it's still a black dog and a small donkey!"

  They were startled by the sudden appearance of Ding Yue's big black dog and small donkey, and subconsciously took two steps back.

  The little donkey looked at Ding Yue carefully and said to the big black dog uncertainly: "Is that a person?"

  The big black dog thought for a moment and finally nodded its head, saying: "It's a person!"

  "Hmm...Hmph! Who does he think he is, daring to show off in front of me? Take him down!"

  The little donkey let out a loud bray, spat out dirty words, and with a swift kick of its hoof, transformed into a green shadow, rushing towards Ding Yue's face with a hoof as big as a bowl.

  "This guy is a cultured person!"

  The big black dog was very displeased with the little donkey's behavior, pawed at the ground and sat down.

  Ding Yue was shocked by the little donkey's temper. Weren't donkeys supposed to be gentle? How could it be so explosive?

  What the...? Take him down?

  I'm innocent! A muffled curse escaped his lips, but Ding Yue dared not think further, for the little donkey's speed was too fast, so fast that he could only see a green shadow before the other party appeared right in front of him.

  Looking at the hoof coming towards his face, Ding Yue was speechless. How can you make a living by relying on your face?

  The Great Peng's Fu Yao technique was executed in an instant, and Ding Yue's figure hastily dodged the hoof by a hair's breadth.

  Ding Yue arrived at the side of the little donkey and kicked his leg straight into the little donkey's abdomen.

  "I'm going!" The little donkey suddenly turned around, its figure flashed, and it disappeared. Then it rushed down from the sky, with one large hoof still facing Ding Yue's face.

  Two figures were dancing in the sky, darting left and right, only to see a flash of their silhouettes, with a speed that was beyond imagination.

  The big black dog was clearly confident in the little donkey, sitting on the ground and watching calmly as a man and a donkey fought back and forth, without any interest in intervening.

  But the little guy was watching very nervously, with two fluffy paws tightly grasped, as if ready to rush up at any moment.

  "Brother will let you know why peach blossoms are so red! I'm going to hit you!!!"

  The little donkey brayed loudly, its hooves falling one by one, its mouth shouting non-stop.

  "Damn it!" Ding Yue couldn't hold back anymore, and let out a loud, ungraceful curse. This black donkey was so vicious, its hooves seemed to be specifically aimed at his face. If he hadn't studied the Great Peng's Wind-Cloud Technique most deeply, and if this divine skill wasn't so exquisite, his face would have been covered in bruises long ago.

  No longer holding back, his magical powers surged out, and a green glow burst forth from his entire body, displaying an elegance that was almost on par with the little donkey's.

  Tearing the sky, his hand stretched out like a claw, Ding Yue's right hand shone with a cold light like a giant peng's sharp claws, tearing through the wind towards Little Donkey's donkey mouth.

  This mouth is too vicious, making him want to tear it apart.

  Ding Yue suddenly changed his move, leaving Little Donkey caught off guard, and could only raise his hoof to meet him head-on.

  With a loud crack of his Iron Claw, Ding Yue would never have done it this way, transforming his claw into a hand, with one flip and turn, he grabbed that hoof.

  Turn around and make a great effort to throw oneself down.

  "Bang ~~" a piece of dust flew up from the ground, and the donkey's dry bray sounded out in a mournful cry:

  "Brother's fur~~~"
