The Eternal White Works Slowly Cultivating Immortality Slowly Cultivating Immortality Volume 1 Chapter 103 Three Million Years

  At dawn, the sky is faintly bright, the sun has not yet risen, and the unnamed island is shrouded in a thin layer of white mist. Various spiritual plants stretch out their branches, absorbing the most primal energy from heaven and earth, full of vitality, as if it were an ethereal paradise.

  A drop of morning dew fell gently from the branch and landed on Xiao Yao's nose tip, bringing a slight coolness to her nose. She slowly opened her eyes, and suddenly, a dark panther head appeared before her eyes. The panther's eyeless face stared at her, motionless, as one person and one beast gazed at each other with big and small eyes, silent for half a moment.

  After a long time, Xiao Yao finally uttered a sentence: "You have a corpse stench on you and maggots have already grown."

  The leopard's eyes rolled over without eyelids, coldly laughing: "Is that so? Then why didn't you stink to death?! Now that you're awake, hurry up and remake your body for me!"

  But then Xiao Yao slowly sat up, moving her stiff limbs, ignoring it and asked discontentedly: "Where is this? How long have I slept?"

  "Struck by lightning and became stupid? Besides Nameless Island, where else can it be?" Leopard's tone was sarcastic. "You've been asleep for more than half a year, if you don't wake up soon, I'm prepared to bury you, see? The pit over there has already been dug for you."

  Xiao Yao looked at the huge pit beside her, which was large enough to bury a giant elephant. There were also many mangled limbs of empty beasts next to the pit. The air was filled with a foul smell of blood, and she couldn't help but furrow her brow. "Do I need such a big hole to be buried? I remember there weren't so many corpses where I fainted."

  The leopard sneered again, saying: "You've been unconscious for half a year, and you're still lying here like a big fool. How could you not be remembered by beasts? If it weren't for me moving you to another place and clearing obstacles around you, you would have long ago entered the belly of a hungry beast! And yet you still dare to defy me?"

  Originally, after Yu Lei passed out, Bao Zi followed Xiang Yao soon after and also fainted. However, he had already woken up a month later. Unfortunately, Xiang Yao was still in a coma, although her physical body was constantly self-healing, waiting for the wounds on her body to heal, but there was no sign of waking up. Helpless, Bao Zi could only move her to another mountain valley and slowly guard her.

  "Is that so?" Xiao Yao didn't show much expression either, just nodded in approval and said: "You've worked hard." After finishing speaking, she began to examine her own body.

  From the moment she opened her eyes, she felt an astonishing change in her body. Not only did she feel light and relaxed, but the pressure that had been building up in her chest and abdomen had completely disappeared. Her skeletal system had turned a golden color and become even harder, and her meridians had become stronger. She shook off the dark, dead skin that covered her body, revealing soft and resilient muscle underneath. It looked delicate, yet when she used a sharp stone nearby to strike herself, the stone shattered instantly, unable to leave even a scratch on her skin.

  The leopard saw that he was just lightly floating and said something that didn't make sense, but for some reason, a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart. Extremely dissatisfied, he shouted: "I've been guarding you for half a year with great difficulty, and this is your attitude?!"

  Xiao Yao looked at her newly reborn body with satisfaction and said, "What attitude do you think is suitable, True Immortal? Don't tell me you want me to worship you or kowtow in gratitude? To be honest, you'd only do that for your own good. In my opinion, a simple 'thank you' would suffice."

  If she were dead, it couldn't survive on its own, could it? If there were no ties between the two of them, she wouldn't have suspected that the leopard would only step on her head with its paws again and then leave.

  "Can't you be less arrogant?!" The leopard glared again, it didn't care about that much, anyway the fact was that it had been guarding her for half a year and should have gotten the treatment it deserved. "I've been like this for half a year now, this crippled and useless body is really annoying, hurry up and remake a powerful body for me!"

  Xiao Yao stretched her waist, took a deep breath, and only when she felt refreshed did she throw out a sentence: "Even if I'm remade, I'll still be Sword-toothed Leopard, love it or not!"

  "Damn it! This is the Spiritual Realm! Where can you find the remains of a Sword-toothed Leopard to mess with?!"

  "Huh, didn't you know?" Xiao Yao's expression was one of surprise. "Ever since the Heavenly Will infused your body at birth, I've been collecting some sword-toothed leopard skin and bones, just in case you damaged your physical body again. Luckily, I had the foresight to do so - these skin and bones will be enough for you to wreak havoc until you reach the Flying Ascension True Immortal Realm."

  Looking at her expression that begged for a beating, Leopard couldn't help but feel angry and simply turned his head away, ignoring her.

  Three days later, Baozi put on a new suit of leopard skin and followed Xiao Yao out of the mountain valley with a very ugly face.

  Where to go next? This is the primary problem facing the two of them.

  Xiao Yao had joined the brothel Zilan Hongge in order to have a legitimate identity on the island, but then she accidentally entered the Vanguard Camp. The first time she ventured deep into the island, she encountered Yu Lei and fainted for half a year. Now that she's back in Wuming City, it would be meaningless, so it's better to let them think she was killed by Yu Lei.

  "Right," she seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and turned to ask the leopard: "I remember you said before that this place seems familiar, did you recall anything?"

  The leopard was still angry, originally determined to ignore whatever she said, but hearing this, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Such an important thing, how could I have forgotten! Xiao Yao, listen to me suspect that this unnamed island is not a floating island in some place of the Xianling Realm, but rather a 'practicing demon pot' of some immortal master of the Zhenxian Realm!"

  "Refine the Demon Vessel?!"

  Xiao Yao's face changed slightly as she listened, still remembering the strange and mysterious stories in the picture book she read when she was a child. The picture book depicted the pot as a treasure used by the heavenly gods to refine and transform demons and monsters. As long as the pot was opened and the demons and monsters were put inside, after a period of time, they would be refined into spiritual pills. If this unnamed island was really a refining pot, wouldn't she be refined into a pill if she couldn't leave?!

  She thought for a moment and suddenly felt absurd. She frowned and said: "What is that Lian Yao Hu? Do you have any basis?"

  Upon seeing the doubt, Leopard's face showed an expression of "why would I deceive you" as he said: "Approximately several tens of millions of years ago, when I was still in the True Immortal Realm, there was a boring guy who showed me a gourd like this. Just by looking at its exterior, it's almost indistinguishable from ordinary wine gourds, but inside, it's an inner universe. That guy invited me to take a look inside, and as a result, I ended up stranded on a deserted island. On the island, there were all sorts of demonic beasts, and coincidentally, I also saw the same Rainy Mist Lock Array that we encountered earlier. Moreover, on that island, heavenly fire would occasionally fall from the sky. According to what that guy said, the various restrictions inside the gourd, including the Heavenly Tribulation, were all for tempering the demonic beasts within, allowing them to become stronger through survival of the fittest! The nature of this Jade Thunder is exactly the same as that heavenly fire; I can confidently say that this unnamed island is another Demonic Refining Gourd!"

  Xiao Yao fell silent, knowing that the leopard would not deceive her on such matters. Listening to its words, the Lian Yao Hu seemed somewhat different from what she had seen in the painting manual, sounding more like an auxiliary artifact for cultivating spiritual pets. Moreover, in the mortal realm and the Xianling realm's classics, she had never come across any records of being able to directly refine demon beasts or demon cultivators into spiritual elixirs or treasures, if it were a treasure from a Xian family, then it would be reasonable.

  She believed about 80% of this speculation, and although she was relieved from the worry of being refined, how could she leave the Alchemy Cauldron? After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth and said: "Leopard, you said that person had invited you to visit before, so how did you come out of the Alchemy Cauldron back then?"

  The leopard sneered: "I broke it out myself."

  "Broken? Why?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

  "Don't mention it, it's all that guy's fault." The leopard waved its paw with disdain, "His refining cauldron was actually broken! I went in and took a look around, didn't see anything interesting, so I asked him to open the cauldron for me to leave. But he told me the mouth of the cauldron was broken and couldn't be opened temporarily, asking me to stay for a few more years until he found someone to repair it. As a result, I waited for ten years without seeing any movement, got impatient and smashed that broken cauldron to get out."

  Xiao Yao instantly petrified, feeling extremely subtle. That person wouldn't want to keep the leopard as a pet, would he?

  "What's next?" she asked cautiously.

  "What happened later?" The leopard saw that her eyes seemed to be filled with sympathy and pity, and she said inexplicably: "That guy ran away. When he saw me break out of the pot, he turned his head and ran, even using a blood escape technique. Do you think I broke his pot? It wasn't like he broke my pot, so why did he run? Originally, I wanted to find someone to help him fix it, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone without a trace. From then on, I never saw him again."

  In an instant, Xiao Yao's mind was in disarray, with a feeling of being speechless before the vast heavens. She suddenly had an urge to ask Bao Zi, from the beginning of heaven and earth to the present, how it was possible that it wasn't until hundreds of millions of years ago that humans were able to successfully seal it within the mortal realm? And what kind of incredible journey had it taken for those billions and billions of years before that?

  But as she was about to speak, she ultimately couldn't say it out loud, because seeing the leopard's self-satisfied and proud expression, she felt that she couldn't be too ruthless. So she changed the subject: "Cough, apart from using brute force to break through, is there no other feasible way for this Refining Demon Cauldron?"

  The leopard thought for a moment, "This hasn't been mentioned by that guy, there should be an entrance, otherwise those demon beasts won't be able to come out. According to my previous observation, the entire structure of the demon-refining pot is a complex giant array. I think as long as I can crack the array method, maybe I'll be able to get out."

  Xiao Yao felt that it was too simple, "At the beginning, you were a true immortal, and whether it was destroying the demon-suppressing pot or opening the formation inside the pot, you had the strength to open it. But now is not the past, at present, you and I are only in the realm of transforming gods, wanting to break open the formation inside the pot is by no means easy."

  "What kind of person do you think I am? I'm a Hongmeng, with the same lifespan as heaven and earth! How can you ordinary people compare to me?" Baozi expressed her dissatisfaction with their underestimation. "As long as you give me time, once I figure out the formation layout of this unnamed island, even if my current strength is not what it used to be, there are other ways to break the formation!"

  Seeing him so confident, Xiao Yao was delighted to see his success. "Oh, it's rare for you to be so self-assured. Tell me, how many years do you think it'll take to fully explore this island?"

  The leopard scratched its claws and calculated for a moment before swishing three of them and saying: "At least 30,000 years."

  The author has something to say: Speaking of updates, there was a small episode today. Yesterday, JJ was stuck, and I couldn't update. This morning, everyone else was fine, but I still couldn't connect to the database. I didn't know, thinking JJ was still stuck. It wasn't until almost closing time that I couldn't sit still anymore and shouted at the editor, only to discover that probably all of JJ had only one person stuck, and all my other articles were fine, just this one couldn't connect to the database! So I realized that I've been living a very mysterious life lately, maybe I should consider buying lottery tickets.
