Wuwang Zhongda Mountain, entering the Changqing Mountains

Ye Tian took out the secret technique jade tablet, and his mind entered it, where he saw the Concept energy of this secret technique.

Ye Tian first observed it himself for a long time, realizing that his comprehension was too minimal, so he didn't hesitate.

"System, cultivate."

"Ding, 300,000 wealth points consumed. Return to Purity has been cultivated to the Concept."

The system's notification sound fell silent.

A large amount of cultivation insights appeared in Ye Tian's mind, which he quickly absorbed.

After receiving this stream of information, Ye Tian mastered this Emperor Rank Supreme-Grade secret technique to the Concept level.

With a thought, his cultivation aura instantly vanished, becoming imperceptible, even to a Martial Emperor Realm master directly facing him, who wouldn't be able to discern his cultivation.

This was the power of this aura-concealing secret technique.

Ye Tian then looked at his attribute panel; the information on it had changed significantly.

"It's time to head to Maple Leaf City."

After cultivating, Ye Tian walked downstairs.

The woman, seeing that Ye Tian hadn't called her, a hint of resentment flickered in her eyes.

She would have willingly thrown herself at such a handsome man.

She had hinted before he left, but this handsome man hadn't called her up to have the one-night stand she desired.

Ye Tian didn't know what the woman was thinking, otherwise, he would have chuckled.

Just because you like me doesn't mean I have to satisfy you, right?

When boys are out and about, they must know how to protect themselves.

...

...

Leaving Dalin City, Ye Tian flew northwest.

Along the way, the mountain ranges were mostly low, and there weren't many water bodies.

Ye Tian didn't encounter any significant attacks; soon, he arrived in front of the Changqing Mountain Range.

The Changqing Mountain Range wound and coiled across the land, like a crouching dragon without a visible head or tail, its width also unseen.

Ye Tian took out his map, looked around, compared it for a while, and then found his location.

"Bro, are you also going to Maple Leaf City on the other side?"

Seeing Ye Tian, a middle-aged man flew over; he was clearly a Martial King.

This middle-aged man must have cultivated an aura-concealing secret technique; Ye Tian's Qi Identification Art was too low-level to discern his specific cultivation.

"Yes, Bro, are you also going to Maple Leaf City?"

Ye Tian put away the map, nodded at the man, and asked.

One doesn't strike a smiling face; since the other party asked him, he had no reason to be aloof, nor was it necessary.

As the saying goes, when you're out and about, an extra friend means an extra path.

Even if a friend doesn't necessarily help you, it's always better than having an extra enemy.

An enemy certainly won't help you; instead, there's a high chance they will try to harm you.

Ye Tian understood this principle.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Hmm, I have something to do in Maple Leaf City. Bro, you also bought the most dangerous map, right? How about we go together? We can look out for each other."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhong Dashan, from Dalin City."

"Hello, my name is Ye Tian, from An City."

Ye Tian briefly introduced himself; both of them tacitly avoided introducing their cultivation realms.

"Bro, An City is quite far. You actually came from there; was the journey dangerous?"

Upon learning that Ye Tian was from An City, Zhong Dashan was quite surprised.

Of course, what surprised him most was Ye Tian's age; he didn't look old at all.

Although Martial King Realm experts have the ability to preserve their appearance, Ye Tian's age was clearly not very old at a glance.

Ye Tian calmly said, "It was alright. With the map, I didn't encounter too much danger."

Hmm!

A Quasi-Emperor was just average.

As for that Level 10 Beast King—the Lava Giant Lizard King—it was just so-so.

As the two spoke, they had already flown onto the route; clearly, Zhong Dashan had also bought the most dangerous map.

Ye Tian was not a person who liked solitude, especially since this Zhong Dashan was a bit of a natural conversationalist, very suitable for traveling together.

Both flew at Martial King speed, which was very fast.

In a blink of an eye, they had flown a long distance, and soon they entered the Changqing Mountain Range.

"Ye Bro, I often travel this path. Not far ahead is the territory of a Level 1 Beast King, the Two-Headed Rhinoceros King. Its realm isn't very strong; we can just fly directly over its head."

Zhong Dashan pointed to a dense forest ahead, proactively introducing it to Ye Tian.

His cultivation should not be bad; his tone showed no regard for that Level 1 Beast King, the Two-Headed Rhinoceros King.

Upon learning that there was a Beast King ahead, Ye Tian became interested and said,

"Da Shan Brother, if you're not in a hurry, could you wait for me to kill that Two-Headed Rhinoceros King? I can just take it to Maple Leaf City and sell it for some money."

A Level 1 Beast King was quite valuable; if he hadn't encountered it, that would be one thing.

Since he had encountered it, it was like seeing millions of RMB lying on the ground, and it belonged to whoever picked it up; Ye Tian had no reason not to pick it up.

Seeing that Ye Tian wanted to attack the Two-Headed Rhinoceros King, Zhong Dashan looked a bit surprised and said,

"Bro, although that Two-Headed Rhinoceros King is only a Level 1 Beast King, its bloodline has reached third-class, making it very strong. Moreover, its skin is thick and tough; even ordinary King Weapons can't break its defense. Are you sure you want to hunt it?"

Through these words, Ye Tian knew that Zhong Dashan either wasn't interested in this Beast King or his cultivation wasn't strong enough, so he had no intention of dealing with the Two-Headed Rhinoceros King.

Ye Tian nodded and said, "Yes, and it won't delay Da Shan Brother for too long."

Zhong Dashan had originally taken the initiative to travel with Ye Tian, so seeing that Ye Tian was determined to hunt that Beast King, he could only agree, saying,

"Ye Bro, since you're determined to kill that Beast King, then fine, I'll wait for you. But if you feel it's impossible, we'll leave immediately."

Zhong Dashan clearly didn't believe Ye Tian could kill that Beast King, so he gave Ye Tian an out beforehand.

Ye Tian smiled but didn't speak.

While they were talking, they had already flown over the territory of the Two-Headed Rhinoceros King.

"Roar!"

Seeing Ye Tian and the other person flying over its territory, the Two-Headed Rhinoceros King felt its Beast King prestige challenged and roared towards the sky.

Swish!

Immediately, its mouth sprayed a brownish-yellow energy ball, more than ten feet in diameter, which shot through the sky towards the two of them.

"Break!"
