C8 Awakening

After an unknown period of time, Chen Xiao slowly opened her eyes.

The four of them moved slightly before Chen Xiao was suddenly stunned. There was a strange feeling coming from his body as he immediately checked his own body.

He never expected that after falling off the cliff, he would accidentally break through to the Aurous Core stage. However, the aurous core that lingered in his dantian was already damaged and turned into a useless pill. He could not gather any spirit energy in his dantian.

Looking at the boundless sea of clouds above, Chen Xiao recalled the moment she fell off the cliff. The scene of the Hidden Dragon Gate being destroyed played out in his mind once again.

He tightly clenched his fists as tears silently flowed down from his eyes.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader, Master and all our friends and brothers, I, Chen Xiao, will definitely avenge all of you." Gritting her teeth, Chen Xiao made a vow in her heart.

However, on second thought, Chen Xiao turned sorrowful. His Aurous Core had already been destroyed. Even if he managed to leave the cliff alive, what did he have to rely on in order to take revenge?

Chen Xiao sat silently on the spot. She did not close her eyes the entire night.

Thinking about how the Sect Leader had exploded and his Master had been surrounded and killed, Chen Xiao hated himself for not having the ability to reach the heavens and earth. Even though he was alive, he could only let the culprits of the Hidden Dragon Sect get away scot-free.

Chen Xiao tried her best to think of a solution, but there was nothing she could do.

"Is this the only way for me to live?" Chen Xiao's tears flowed as she looked at the sky and asked.

Unwillingness, disappointment, anger and various emotions caused Chen Xiao's eyes to turn red, while his head of black hair gradually turned white.

At the same time, the Aurous Core within Chen Xiao's Dantian underwent a change. The aurous core slowly disappeared and the Dantian became chaotic.

Seeing such a situation, Chen Xiao could only smile wryly. Without an Aurous Core, how was she going to take revenge?

Chen Xiao slowly raised his arm and felt the power of an Aurous Core stage cultivator in his body. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

"This... It should be because of the bewitching magic that Master talked about, right? " Chen Xiao clenched his five fingers and suddenly laughed.

He finally knew why his Jindan had disappeared. He could turn into a devil with just a thought!

When he fell down the cliff, because he saw the destruction of the former dragon gate, his heart was filled with grief and indignation. Anger broke through reason and allowed him to escape into the demonic path.

Slowly standing up, a smile finally appeared on Chen Xiao's face.

"Enchanted? "It's nothing!" Chen Xiao's blood-red eyes turned cold. "Even if I enter the Infernal Realm, I must kill those fellows and avenge all the disciples of Hidden Dragon Gate."

With a direction and goal in mind, Chen Xiao immediately felt a little at ease.

Looking at the surroundings, Chen Xiao was surrounded by dense grass. She did not know where she was or where she should go to get out. The only thing she knew was that she was sure that he was at the bottom of the cliff.

Chen Xiao knew that she could not do anything while staying in her original spot, so she immediately began walking. He wanted to see what kind of environment she was in and whether there were any dangerous places.

Just as he took a few steps forward, Chen Xiao's pupils constricted. A familiar figure in the distance had stirred his mood.

It was a young man wearing the clothes of a Hidden Dragon Sect disciple.

That's right, it was the same Wang Huang who had already landed on the cliff.

Chen Xiao ran over in quick steps. Although Wang Huang was not dead, he was unconscious. Regardless of what Chen Xiao did, she could not wake him up.

He planned to wait for Wang Huang to wake up before thinking of a solution. After all, he did not know if there was any danger in the vicinity, so if he walked with the unconscious Wang Huang, it would be inconvenient for him to move around, and if he encountered any danger, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

After making up his mind, Chen Xiao cleared out the weeds nearby and used some branches and weeds to create a simple awning to cover Wang Huang.

Even though his Jindan had disappeared, his cultivation level had not decreased. Instead, it had increased by a whole realm. Therefore, the Tao techniques and the like had no effect on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao used her Tao technique to simply kill a few small animals before breaking her stomach and peeling them off. She found some dried wood and built a bonfire. Just like that, she placed the small animals above the bonfire and roasted them.

This made Chen Xiao somewhat anxious. Even if they were cultivators, as long as they had not cultivated to the Fasting Stage, they would only be able to last a little longer than an ordinary person without eating or drinking for a period of time.

However, under Chen Xiao's careful examination, she found that Wang Huang's face was rosy and his breathing was smooth. He did not look like he had not eaten for more than ten days. This made Chen Xiao puzzled.

Of course, Chen Xiao did not continue to be conflicted. As long as Wang Huang was temporarily fine, he could relax a little. As for Wang Huang's abnormality, she could only ask him after Wang Huang had woken up. Chen Xiao felt that she did not have the ability to come up with anything.

The sky gradually darkened again as Chen Xiao lit a bonfire as usual.

Chen Xiao added some dried wood to the fire in boredom. Suddenly, a multicolored glow lit up in the distance.

The rainbow colored light grew bigger and bigger, and the light continued to spread outwards.

"That's …" Chen Xiao widened his eyes. The seven-colored glow gave him a familiar feeling.

Suddenly, the scene he saw at the edge of the cliff appeared in his mind. Chen Xiao blurted out excitedly, "It's a Heavenly Treasure!"

Chen Xiao suppressed her exceptionally joyful mood as she slowly approached the area where the multicolored light was.

He didn't expect that once he fell to the bottom of the cliff, he would encounter another strange treasure.

What kind of treasure was this? As the rainbow colored light grew closer and closer, countless thoughts surged in Chen Xiao's mind. Was it a magical equipment, pill or Dao talisman?

The closer they got to the seven-colored light, the more careful Chen Xiao became. After all, he had once heard his master, Lu Qingyun, say that there were various demon beasts protecting the sides of all kinds of rare treasures and medicines.

Carefully digging through layer after layer of grass, the distance between Chen Xiao and the multi-colored light was constantly shrinking. According to Chen Xiao's estimation, there was still about ten meters left.

Chen Xiao held her breath and did not even dare to breathe. After all, the distance was already considered close to a dangerous range. The demonic beasts' senses were exceptionally sharp. If they were to be even more careful, they would only expose themselves.

Chen Xiao was already lying on the ground as she began crawling forward slowly. As for the multicolored light, it seemed to indicate the correct direction for him.

The closer they got, the calmer Chen Xiao became.

All along, Chen Xiao had been unable to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, but he had clenched his teeth and persevered. This made his disposition become tougher than that of an ordinary disciple's, and with Chen Xiao now on the demonic path, the coldness of the demonic path affected Chen Xiao's temperament to a greater or lesser degree.

At this moment, it was the last pile of grass in front of Chen Xiao. Through the barely discernible crack, Chen Xiao could already see the intense multi-colored glow that was so mesmerizing.

Swallowing his saliva, Chen Xiao took a deep breath before slowly pushing the grass aside with her hands.

A soft and gorgeous multi-colored light immediately appeared before his eyes without reservation. Chen Xiao's eyes constantly flickered as she finally found the source of the seven-colored light. It was a Profound Ginseng!

As for Xuan Gen's age, there was no need to even mention the fact that he was able to emit such a strong multicolored light. Just by thinking about it, one would know that it was definitely not low.

"I'm afraid this Xuan Ginseng doesn't have thousands of years. It should be more than 10,000 years old." Chen Xiao thought to himself. After all, he had once seen the thousand-year-old Mystical Ginseng in the pill market. Compared to the seven-colored light in front of him, it was like the difference between a sun and a moon and a firefly.

Although the Myriad Mystical Ginseng was in front of him, Chen Xiao was not in a hurry. He carefully avoided the gentle, multi-colored light and carefully checked his surroundings.

Due to his own safety considerations, Chen Xiao carefully inspected the area. Soon, he realized that there was an area beside the Mystical Ginseng that appeared extremely abnormal.

Chen Xiao looked carefully and suddenly drew a gasp. There was no ground beside the Mystical Pot. It was clearly the back of a giant toad.

The giant toad's back was almost the same color as the surrounding ground. Coupled with the effects of the dark environment, it was impossible to distinguish it apart without careful observation.

Chen Xiao secretly rejoiced that she had not acted impulsively. Now that she knew where her enemies were, she felt reassured.

This giant toad was clearly not easy to deal with. However, Chen Xiao was now an Aurous Core stage cultivator. Furthermore, she had escaped into the demonic path and her mood had changed.

The only thing Chen Xiao could use now was the sword that had fallen down the cliff at the same time as him. With her weapon, Chen Xiao was no longer afraid of this giant toad.

However, Chen Xiao did not act immediately. Instead, she retreated back to the awning and began rummaging through the items.

Not long later, Chen Xiao found a pile of hay. Bringing this pile of hay with her, Chen Xiao quickly returned to the spot where she had left earlier.

After carefully circling the dry grass, Chen Xiao sneaked behind the giant toad. With a swing of her sword, she thrust it at the giant toad with the tyrannical strength of an Aurous Core stage cultivator.

"Caw!"

Suddenly, a loud frog cry that shook the entire valley could be heard. The sound of the giant toad in pain nearly caused the sword in Chen Xiao's hand to fall to the ground.

As though he had been struck in the chest by countless hammers, Chen Xiao retreated a few steps. His eyes were filled with horror. He never expected the gigantic toad's roar to be so terrifying.

Thankfully, the giant toad was not the Vajra Body. Under Chen Xiao's sneak attack, the giant toad was still injured, but it had already changed its direction. Its body was bent diagonally and its lantern-like eyes locked onto Chen Xiao.
