C5 Away

Early morning, the fog was hazy.

Xiao Zhi had already woken up a long time ago. Of course, this was not his original intention, but rather, it was called out by Old Man Tian Yun. He sat cross-legged in the yard, facing the east. Liu Yi had almost explained many of the methods of comprehension and cultivation to him before. In the past, he was too playful and did not pay attention to them. Now that she was seriously training, it surprisingly went without a hitch. However, what this evil old man had taught made Xiao Zhi frown. It was too difficult to understand, very difficult to understand.

Although he had a hint of indistinct 'comprehension', when he thought back to it now, he was completely lost. That was the trajectory of a great Dao. Even Dao Sovereigns would find it difficult to touch it. And the reason the Xiao Zhi had such a trace of comprehension was entirely because of the Dao Fruit Rain Flower.

Gao Zhi's heart stirred. A dao diagram appeared, bringing about a light rumbling sound that resonated with the heaven and earth.

The white tiger stood proudly, the giant python coiled around its body, and a small sapling stood between them.

Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged, and traces of Dao power revolved around his body. He was currently silently cultivating the 'Art of Elemental Heaven' cultivation technique that old man Tian Yun taught him.

In the Douluo Continent, the Tao techniques were divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Man. In this world, there were three levels: the upper, middle, and lower. According to the Dao Lord Tianyun, this' Art of Elemental Heaven 'seemed to be a low-grade Heaven-ranked cultivation technique. It was one of the few cultivation techniques in the world. However, according to the legends, above the Heaven grade techniques, there was also a 'Deity Tier'.

Xiao Zhi could clearly feel a strand of Dao Energy flowing through his body, very smooth. What even he didn't care about was that his meridians were very wide and tough, and that wasn't something that could be achieved by using physical body tempering methods.

"That's right, elder sister must have opened up my meridians when I was playing around."

Xiao Zhi thought of a very good explanation. Although he was young, he knew a lot of things. Other than urging her sister, sister would tell her about cultivation every day, regardless of whether she understood him or not.

"Eat."

Dao Lord Tianyun called out from afar. The old man felt depressed, he never thought that he would have to personally cook and serve someone else. If he lived alone, it would be normal for him to not eat for three to five days.

Breakfast was very strange, to the point where Xiao Zhi was slightly puzzled.

A few palm sized pieces of meat were stacked together and released a meaty aroma. However, the appearance of the meat was indeed quite indecent. Although it was somewhat dark, he didn't know why, but it still gave him a feeling of being alive.

"It doesn't seem familiar."

Xiao Zhi looked and was puzzled.

"What does a child know?"

Dao Lord Tianyun reprimanded him, "Do you know why those tigers and leopards are so strong?"

"I don't know." Xiao Zhi shook his head honestly.

"That is because they are not only carnivores, but also raw meat. Look at what humans are eating, one by one. Even if you want to eat a piece of meat, you have to cook it thoroughly. "Can you strengthen your body?"

The Dao Lord Tianyun spoke with great 'reason', causing Gao Zhi to be stunned.

"Therefore, if a person wants to possess the strength and physique of a tiger, leopard, wolf, and bear, he must learn to eat from them."

"But, you'll get diarrhea if you eat raw."

Xiao Zhi pursed his lips. No matter what Dao Lord Tianyun said, he still didn't want to eat it.

"Who said it was born? at least sixty to seventy percent. "

After the Dao Lord Tianyun finished speaking, he glared at the Xiao Zhi, "Kids, don't be picky about your food, don't you want to save your sister?"

Hearing that, Gao Zhi's face tightened. He felt that as long as it could save his sister, eating raw meat would be okay, right?

However, if one were to talk about the taste of this meat, it would truly be uncomfortable. Not only was it difficult to chew, there was even a trace of blood in it. When it entered his nose, there would be the stench of blood.

Gao Zhi almost vomited after taking just one bite, but when he saw Dao Lord Tianyun's expression, he endured the disgust and directly ate it.

"B-old geezer, this isn't 70% done! Only 30% done!"

Gao Zhi pursed his lips, the taste in his mouth was unbearable.

"What does this brat know?"

Dao Lord Tianyun's eyes widened, "I, a dignified Holy Man, am making food for a little kid like you, it's already good enough that you aren't laughing in the dark, and you still want to pick and choose? Do you believe that I won't even care about your sister's matters if I kick you out now? "

Gao Zhi was dumbstruck, he lowered his head and did not say a word.

"Hurry up and eat a few more pieces so you have the strength to train."

Dao Lord Tianyun urged him, and felt that there was no need to be serious with a child.

"But, cultivators are really strong. Why do we have to learn from ordinary people?"

Gao Zhi was very confused, and timidly asked about this topic. It was too tiring to train like that.

"When you reach my level, you will understand."

Dao Lord Tianyun said half-heartedly and did not elaborate.

"Oh."

Gao Zhi replied innocently, he looked at the meat on the plate and started to eat. He gritted his teeth as if he had a grudge with the meat.

After a long while, Gao Zhi's teeth started to hurt and even his cheeks started to ache. He finally finished eating all the meat on the plate.

"Come, finish the soup." Dao Lord Tianyun was really 'dedicated' to work, he was serving Gao Zhi like a servant. When he saw that Gao Zhi had finished eating, he immediately handed him a big bowl. The large bowl was dark and exuded an unpleasant odor. No matter how one looked at it, it did not look like it could be eaten.

Although Gao Zhi was young, he still understood very clearly. There was no reason for him to reject something made by an unqualified chef. He stared at the bowl of 'soup' for a while with his eyes wide open. Finally, he closed his eyes again, picked it up and gulped it down.

It was hard to tell how the soup tasted like when it entered one's mouth.

"Cough."

Gao Zhi panicked and continued coughing, his little face red.

But what was strange was that after the bowl of soup entered his stomach, a warm current slowly rose from Gao Zhi's body, spreading to his limbs and bones.

"Go, hurry up and train. I'll get annoyed just by looking at you."

Dao Lord Tianyun waved his hand and chased Gao Zhi away as he muttered, "Kid who doesn't know what's good for himself, ordinary people wouldn't even have the chance to eat this even if they wanted to. It was time for children to grow up, so they had to make up for it. To strengthen the body and strengthen the body may seem like it was done by mortals, but only at the peak would one understand that what was once looked down upon is of utmost importance. "

This day of training was something that Xiao Zhi would never forget. The more he ran, the more he felt a fire burning inside his body, and the more he ran, the more he smelled the fishy sweat on his body. The Xiao Zhi only stopped when it was night.

"Huff, huff, what's going on?"

Xiao Zhi wiped his sweat, feeling very puzzled in his heart.

From that day onwards, Xiao Zhi had to eat a large amount of this unpalatable meat everyday. After half a month, he also started to get used to it. During this process, Dao Lord Tianyun constantly increased Xiao Zhi's appetite. In less than a month, Xiao Zhi's appetite was already no less than an adult's.

He would train during the day and cultivate Art of Elemental Heaven at night.

The white tiger lay prostrate on the ground, the giant python had its head raised. The sapling tree emitted a halo of light in the darkness, it looked very strange.

Dao Lord Tianyun watched silently. In these past few years, he rarely expressed his appreciation to anyone. But towards this youth, whether it was his temperament or talent, he was very satisfied. This was because he was just a ten-year old child. To be able to reach such a state was already not an easy feat.

The autumn wind blew drearily, and the winter came cold. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

Within three years, the growth of Xiao Zhi was astonishing, and was much higher than before. He was only a thirteen year old boy, and his build was sturdy. At first glance, he looked like a boy of seventeen.

Maybe it was because the child was a little mischievous, although Gao Zhi had something at the bottom of his heart, some things were still left behind for the time being. He would occasionally rest and play with Monkey, Dog and Lin Lan.

It was another summer day, the sun was scorching hot and the heat waves assaulted their faces.

Dao Lord Tianyun called Gao Zhi over to him with a solemn expression and said a few words about Gao Zhi's future path.

"Isn't there still a few more years?"

Gao Zhi raised his head and asked in puzzlement. In the sparring competition concerning 'Heaven Gate', there were still four years of time.

"You want to wait until the time is up, then directly participate? What logic do you have?"

Dao Lord Tianyun reprimanded her softly, "Do you think it's your backyard? You can do whatever you want."

"Oh, okay. When will I start?"

Gao Zhi thought about it, nodded his head, then asked.

"It's better to choose than to strike. Let's do it today."

The old man was very direct, and even somewhat urgent. He hoped that Gao Zhi could hurry up and go to the 'Heaven Gate'.

"During these four years, you don't have to show off and attract attention. In the future, you will only be able to display one Dao Diagram, unless you are forced to. If it really comes to that, you will either kill everyone who saw your dao diagram, or come back to me as soon as you can. "

Old man Tianyun's expression was solemn as he explained many things. Some problems were simple. For example, why couldn't he let others know that he had three types of dao diagrams? The old man only said that if someone found out, then he wouldn't be able to obtain a Seven Star Life Continuing Ginseng. According to the old man, he didn't need many reasons, as long as it was useful.

"This trip will last until four years later. Everything will be related to your sister's fate, so you must be careful."

Old man Tianyun kept warning again and again, afraid that this brat would be tricked.

"Oh, I know."

Gao Zhi nodded very seriously, as he etched this matter into the depths of his heart.

"This is the command token for the 'Gate of Heaven'. You can use it to enter the 'Gate of Heaven' without a hitch."

Finally, the old man took out an ancient looking medallion. It was about two inches long and one inch wide. In the middle of the medallion was the word 'Tian'. The material of this token was extraordinary; it was definitely comparable to some rare forging materials.

"Yes."

Gao Zhi took it and looked it over carefully, then kept it in the Tao Ring that the old man gave him. There were many daily necessities, money and some so-called healing pellets.

"Go. After bidding farewell to your children, quickly go to the Heaven Gate."

Old man Tian Yun's eyes flickered. He did not plan to personally send Gao Zhi away, but prepared to let him go alone.
