Chapter 1: The Desolate Wilderness

  This is a land that is almost primitive, vast and boundless, with many ancient trees towering into the high sky, like small mountains, and many terrifying ancient vines have even buried small mountains underneath!

  The forest is dense and vast, with tigers roaring and monkeys howling. Except for the central area, the entire region is covered in primitive forests, with towering ancient trees that block out the sky. Fierce beasts and birds of prey roam and fly about, and from time to time, one can see enormous birds with wingspans of tens of meters flying overhead, blocking out the sun! Furthermore, small streams and rivers flow through the ancient mountains.

  What a vast and desolate land!

  At this time, in the center of this ancient forest, countless ferocious beasts gathered. Eight-legged heavenly pythons, over a hundred meters long, with emerald green eyes as large as lanterns, and black saliva dripping from their bloody mouths, corroding the ground and creating huge holes! Three-eyed golden lions, with bodies entirely golden, sturdy limbs, and sharp spikes on their tails that kept swinging back and forth. Their third vertical eye jumped up and down, exuding a terrifying aura. Within dozens of meters around them, no other ferocious beasts dared to approach!

  Apart from this, there are also dozens of meters tall two-headed giant apes, all over the body is blood red, on the head have two terrible compound eyes of blood-colored ants, a long up to twenty or thirty zhang, spitting black fog huge silver crocodile, and golden eagles, ancient trees with double legs, dragon with single horn on its head, ancient elephant covered with golden fur all over its body......, more are some ferocious beasts that can't be named.

  However, these bizarre beasts all have one thing in common: they are all staring with wide eyes at a young man standing on the empty ground in the center of the barbaric forest, surrounded by a purple glow, or rather, staring at the purple plant beside him.

  This is a small plant with an ancient, primordial aura, only about three feet tall, with nine leaves, all of which are purple. At the top, a single purple fruit grows, and wisps of purple energy keep emerging from the purple glow, only to be absorbed by the purple fruit. It looks like the purple fruit is about to ripen!

  At this time, it was early morning, the initial sunlight shone on Xiao Gu's face, waking him up. He felt an unbearable burning sensation all over his body, his limbs were sore and weak, without any strength. His mouth was dry and tongue parched, his complexion was pale, he wanted to try to sit up, but unfortunately, he was powerless!

  It was just a temporary wakefulness, and soon, Xiao Gu felt his eyelids fighting again. The originally ferocious beasts gradually became only floating shadows. The sun finally broke free from the shackles of the horizon, and a purple light quickly approached from the edge of the sky. Finally, Xiao Gu couldn't hold on and fainted again, and that purple light landed right in his eyes!

  The purple energy is coming from the east! This was the only thought in Xiao Gu's mind when he fainted.

  The scorching sun was high in the sky, and it was unknown how long had passed when Xiao Gu woke up again from his coma. The roars of fierce beasts echoed into his ears, and he slowly opened his eyes to see countless ferocious beasts screaming in front of him! Xiao Gu's instincts were shocked, and then he suddenly remembered everything he saw the first time he woke up, and couldn't help but let out a sigh!

  After lying down for a while again, he finally gathered a bit of strength and struggled to sit up with difficulty. Xiao Gu began to take in the unfamiliar surroundings!

  After a moment, he suddenly realized that deep in the primeval forest, the roars of various beasts were like thunder, making him feel as if he had returned to the ancient wilderness. Looking at the many beasts lurking outside the light screen, Xiao Gu could clearly sense that this was by no means a pure land!

  Of course, Xiao Gu was not a hesitant person. Although he didn't know what had happened for the time being, he understood that only strong power could be the foundation of survival. To say nothing of others, just looking at the fierce beasts outside the light screen, each one could easily tear him apart. If it weren't for the purple light screen blocking them, Xiao Gu was afraid that he would have been torn to pieces long ago!

  Quietly sitting in the light screen, Xiao Gu's body surface began to flicker with crystal luster, surrounded by a faint halo, the essence of heaven and earth gathered, continuously recovering Xiao Gu's weakness and scars left behind after passing through the black hole!

  His cultivation method comes from a mysterious beast skin!

  At that time, he was detected to have no qualifications for cultivation and was very sad, thinking that he would never be able to embark on the path of cultivation again. So he devoted himself to studying literature, and unintentionally discovered a piece of beast skin in the book pavilion of a certain imperial dynasty!

  The beast skin was ordinary, but it carried an air of vicissitudes of life. On its surface, there was a mysterious and complex diagram. Xiao Gu was curious for a moment and memorized it. Who would have thought that after Xiao Gu memorized all the diagrams, the beast skin suddenly self-destructed! It wasn't until later when Xiao Gu came into contact with cultivation that he realized it was a qigong diagram, and his body, which couldn't cultivate, could actually cultivate!

  Although he didn't know if this breathing technique was comparable to the legendary Tian Gong Bao Dian, Xiao Gu knew that with this mysterious and ancient breathing technique, at the age of 16, he had already become the strongest in the Xiao family. Even the elderly ancestors in the clan couldn't rival him, except for Gu Xian Er, no one else knew about it! That's why he was always considered a waste!

  After ten years of hard work, Xiao Gu had a deep understanding of this mysterious Qigong chart and seemed to have a feeling of rebirth. However, he found that the cultivation method was incomplete and needed him to find the rest himself!

  Innumerable heavenly and earthly essences were attracted over, and a portion of the purple energy was also absorbed. The purple energy seemed to have a mystical effect, accelerating Xiao Gu's recovery. In less than two hours, he had already recovered seven or eight tenths!

  He let out a long sigh of relief, although he still didn't know where he was, but Xiao Gu had gained the capital to explore, and his confidence had also increased a lot!

  The cry in his stomach woke up Xiao Gu, who was deep in thought. He touched his belly and suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, which came from the only fruit on the purple plant. Before, Xiao Gu had seen the purple fruit, but at that time, his head was still in a daze, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, now that the fragrance had arrived, it made him focus his mind on the fruit!

  From the greedy eyes of the countless ferocious beasts staring at the fruit from outside the purple light screen, Xiao Gu naturally knew that this purple fruit was a good thing and might be the legendary heavenly material or earthly treasure. Although the Xiao family was also high above in the mortal realm, they had only seen some rare spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits at most. As for the legendary heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they were naturally unable to see them, so Xiao Gu could not specifically identify what kind of treasure this was!

  I don't know if this thing can be swallowed directly, Xiao Gu was secretly guessing in his heart.

  It is worth noting that many precious medicinal materials must be mixed with other medicines in order to be taken, otherwise they may have adverse effects!

  Although I haven't seen it before, but these things Xiao Gu has heard of!

  In the end, Xiao Gu decided to see if he could find a way out first. No matter who was surrounded by so many beasts, they would probably feel like they had a thorn in their back. If they couldn't get out, then even if this fruit could be eaten directly, it wouldn't have any significance!

  Unfortunately, there were vast open plains all around, the nearest primeval forest was over a hundred meters away, and it was surrounded by countless ferocious beasts. Xiao Gu didn't think that after exiting the purple light screen, he could run past those hundred meters in the midst of countless ferocious beasts!

  The growling of the stomach is getting louder, originally not thinking about it didn't feel anything, but now the more I think about it, the hungrier I get, and the fragrance of the purple fruit floating over makes Xiao Gu even harder to bear!

  In the end, Xiao Gu decided to eat it anyway. Since he couldn't move now, he couldn't just starve like this forever!

  Among the countless furious roars of beasts, Xiao Gu lightly plucked the ripe purple fruit! In an instant, all the branches and leaves withered quickly, leaving only a pile of flying ash!

  Seeing Xiao Gu's tendency to eat it, all the fierce beasts immediately went mad, their huge bodies constantly impacting the purple light screen, hoping to shatter the light screen and tear the person who snatched their treasure into pieces!

  Unfortunately, these low-wisdom barbarians are doomed to despair. The purple light curtain is only a thin layer, but it is unyielding and unmatched. Even with your countless divine powers, you cannot shake it in the slightest!

  "Gentlemen, beasts, I'm sorry about this. I've taken your dinner, but my brother's stomach was really hungry and couldn't help it. Please forgive me, please forgive me," Xiao Gu said with a hint of playfulness as he looked at the many beasts with red eyes.

  Then, he gently tossed the fruit that was only as big as his thumb into the air, drawing a beautiful arc before landing it in his own mouth!
