357: I'm almost there, and I'm so eager to get home!

In the air.

A spirit boat flew rapidly.

Jiang Ning looked down at the lush forest below, his heart eager to return home.

This green domain, viewed from above, was the Yousen Domain.

After searching for so long, Jiang Ning finally reached the vicinity of the Xuanhuang Domain.

Seeing this, Vermilion Bird asked, "Have we arrived?"

"No," Jiang Ning said, "This is the Yousen Domain. They are skilled in insect manipulation warfare, and there are also Cultivators who absorb plant essence and gain combat experience from various plants.

Reaching this area means we are not far from the Xuanhuang Domain.

However, the Yousen Domain and the Xuanhuang Domain have always had a tense relationship. Our high-profile passage here might attract the attention of powerful individuals from this area."

Jiang Ning smiled as he finished speaking.

He deliberately said it for Vermilion Bird to hear.

Vermilion Bird rolled her eyes at Jiang Ning. "You can just pilot the spirit boat. If there are any obstacles, I will block them for you."

"That's good then."

Jiang Ning smiled and threw a few more High-Grade Spirit Stones into the spirit boat. "Then I'll go full speed ahead!"

The closer he got to home, the more nervous Jiang Ning became, and the stronger his desire to return.

How was the Xuanhuang Domain?

How was the little girl?

What would her reaction be when she saw him?

Surprise? Or resentment?

No matter what, as long as he could see Shen Jinhuan, Jiang Ning felt at ease.

Jiang Ning activated all the Spiritual Qi energy of the spirit boat.

Subsequently, the spirit boat trembled, a whooshing sound erupted, and the spirit boat suddenly shot forward.

Jiang Ning and Vermilion Bird stood on the spirit boat, unmoving.

A quarter of an hour later.

As Jiang Ning and Vermilion Bird passed a dense forest and insect valley.

A majestic Aura, accompanied by powerful Spiritual Qi, surged towards them.

"Who dares to cross the sky above my Ten Thousand Insect Valley!"

Jiang Ning sensed it and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that as soon as the Ten Thousand Insect Valley made a move, it would be a Nascent Soul Mid-stage Elder. And in my Divine Sense, there's an even more terrifying Aura within the Ten Thousand Insect Valley.

Although it doesn't give me the same dangerous feeling as a Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivator.

It's not far off.

Is it a Half-step Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivator?"

Since they had to pass through here anyway, he might as well sense it and prepare for the future.

Lest he suffer losses without corresponding intelligence.

However, his sensing was not precise; everything was to confirm with Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird shook her head. "No, it's two Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. However, one of these two Nascent Soul Cultivators should be close to reaching what you call Half-step Nascent Soul Perfection."

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow.

Looking at it this way, the strength of the Yousen Domain was actually a notch higher than that of the Xuanhuang Domain.

After all, the top combat power of the Xuanhuang Domain was the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture.

With Half-step Nascent Soul Perfection strength.

"I wonder if this is the average level for major forces in the Yousen Domain, or a top-tier force."

Jiang Ning pondered in his mind.

It was a pity.

He left early then and had never learned about the forces in the Yousen Domain. Even this Ten Thousand Insect Valley was something he only heard about later.

"Never mind these for now; I'll definitely know in the future, and..."

Jiang Ning estimated that this time, with Vermilion Bird helping him eliminate the Grand Marshal, the Tiance Military Prefecture would be carved up and annexed by other forces.

He would have significant say.

However, Jiang Ning wouldn't resort to coercion. Instead, based on mutual benefit, Jiang Ning wanted to go to the bottom of the lake and absorb the remains of the Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator.

Originally, this should have been an Opportunity for the female lead Yun Qingyao and other forces.

Unfortunately, given Jiang Ning's current Realm, the Spiritual Qi crystals remaining in these remains were now most important to him. As for the secrets, they were completely irrelevant.

This feeling was like having already explored the high-level player zone; upon returning, except for the resources here, some secrets no longer held any appeal.

With money, he could buy even better things in the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty!

What were the secrets of the Deity Transformation Realm?

Jiang Ning looked at Vermilion Bird, the great older sister standing beside him. He had a living Soul Transformation Cultivator by his side.

"How dare you! You even dare to extend your Divine Sense to probe!"

The owner of that voice didn't expect that the Cultivator on the spirit boat in the sky, upon hearing his reprimand, not only wasn't afraid but even dared to probe.

He immediately became furious.

Spiritual Qi pressure swept over, intending to directly "shatter" the seemingly High Grade spirit boat!

Vermilion Bird snorted coldly.

She enveloped her voice with Spiritual Qi and simply uttered one word.

"Scram!"

The pressure that sought to shatter the spirit boat was directly suppressed.

The Spiritual Qi casually emitted by Vermilion Bird, without any weakening, went straight to the ground below.

Subsequently, a scream was heard.

Afterward.

The great formation of Ten Thousand Insect Valley opened.

A trembling voice came from within.

"Senior has graced our Ten Thousand Insect Valley with your presence. The Ten Thousand Insect Valley is greatly honored. Here, the Ten Thousand Insect Valley respectfully bids farewell to Senior, wishing Senior all the best!"

Jiang Ning: What a face!

This quick change of expression.

"This is strength!"

If he had Vermilion Bird's strength, let alone killing a Marshal Xuan Hu, even if he killed the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Military Prefecture, who could say anything?

Ultimately, in the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme!

A quarter of an hour later.

Having passed the Ten Thousand Insect Valley.

Jiang Ning used his Divine Sense to probe forward.

The Spiritual Qi with characteristics unique to the Yousen Domain was gradually fading. Further ahead was a place Jiang Ning had never been to.

"Xuanhuang Domain!"

Jiang Ning's spirits lifted.

Although he had never been to that area, looking at its topography, and how it bordered the Yousen Domain, as well as its ecology, he could confirm it.

"Almost there, a little faster!"

Jiang Ning injected more High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Vermilion Bird said from the side, "At this overloaded pace, I'm afraid we won't be able to travel much longer before needing another spirit boat."

Along the way, Jiang Ning had worn out too many spirit boats because of his haste.

All due to overloaded usage.

Jiang Ning said seriously, "I always have some unease in my heart. In the years I've been away, the Xuanhuang Domain must have undergone tremendous changes! If I can return even one breath earlier, then I will return one breath earlier.

What if that one breath could save a life!"

Vermilion Bird: "It seems that Disciple holds a significant place in your heart. In the cultivation world, apart from a few people who value their Disciples so much due to Legacy, there are no others."

Jiang Ning explained, "She is very important. We met in obscurity. Although my Realm is high, we have journeyed together. To me, she is no longer just a Disciple.

She is more like a family member we depend on in this cruel cultivation world."

Vermilion Bird understood.

Her curiosity grew about what kind of person this Disciple was, to make Jiang Ning abandon the fertile land of Great Qian, spending time, effort, and wealth, to come to this remote domain.

Not to mention going further east, just passing the Spirit Ruins Domain, she already felt that the Spiritual Qi here was truly thin.

Just now in the Yousen Domain, she felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

She felt that it was normal for no Soul Transformation Cultivators to emerge here.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi determined the speed of a Cultivator's progress here. If one's cultivation growth couldn't keep up with the consumption of Lifespan, how could one advance step by step?

Not to mention that if the Spiritual Qi was not rich, there would be no rare Heaven And Earth Treasure. These resources, to a certain extent, also determined the Cultivator's upper limit.

Vermilion Bird thought, looking at Jiang Ning.

It was truly not easy for a Jiang Ning to emerge from this place.
