If Walker Violet had an unyielding authority among the Canaries, then Jasmine Anderson was the one whom the other Canaries could hardly refuse when she asked for something.

So when Jasmine asked them to try on the costumes prepared for Halloween ahead of time, although they smiled helplessly, they still willingly went back to their rooms to change.

Dong Tianyu actually quite enjoyed this kind of role-playing game; after all, during this period, aside from these games, there really weren’t any other forms of entertainment.

White-dressed brides,

Red-dressed brides,

Zombies,

Fox spirits,

Vampires,

Little devils,

Succubi,

Mummies,

Angels of death,

Soon, nine Canaries in different costumes appeared before Dong Tianyu, and to his surprise, he had thought that Jasmine would wear a Lolita zombie dress, but unexpectedly yet logically, she cosplayed with Walker Violet, as ghost brides in red and white.

Seeing these demons and ghosts before him, Dong Tianyu’s expression changed, and he rebuked loudly, "Evil spirits! Do not think to disturb my moral heart, today I shall act as heaven’s agent, vanquishing demons and subduing evil spirits, making you repent endlessly and cleanse the sins from your beings."

Seeing Dong Tianyu so quickly getting into character, the Canaries did not surrender but decided to strike first, attacking Dong Tianyu together.

The joy is endless in battling against heaven,

The joy is endless in battling against earth,

And the joy is just as endless in battling against people.

After a great battle had concluded, Dong Tianyu stroked Walker Violet’s nape and asked her tenderly, "How is your cultivation going?"

Walker Violet had never expected that Dong Tianyu would ask them about their cultivation at such a moment.

Although they didn’t enter the Hall of Longevity to cultivate while staying in the Cave, the Spirit Energy in the air at other places within the Cave was still several times denser than the outside world.

Logically, having plenty of food and drink in the Cave, not to mention the cultivation techniques, practicing martial arts while they engaged in cultivation, plus Dong Tianyu’s occasional involvement in dual cultivation with them, their cultivation levels should have improved significantly.

However, based on the physical qualities they displayed during the fight, the speed of their cultivation progress was clearly much slower than what Dong Tianyu had estimated, which is why he brought up this mood-dampening question at this time.

Jasmine did not intend to hide anything regarding Dong Tianyu’s inquiry and straightforwardly explained the reason for their slow cultivation.

The reason was actually quite simple; for one thing, they didn’t feel the need for martial support as the Cave was relatively safe.

Secondly, the cultivation of crops and the care of livestock in the Cave had always been the responsibility of the Canaries, so their time for cultivation was also significantly reduced.

The most important reason was, even though Dong Tianyu told them about the age-maintaining effects of cultivation, Dong Tianyu was the only one in the Cave who could appreciate their looks.

So, when they were relatively busier and didn’t enter the Cave for a while, the Canaries’ inherent laziness emerged, which led many to decrease their cultivation time substantially.

Listening to Walker Violet’s analysis of the methods of the other Canaries, Dong Tianyu did not immediately say anything but continued to stroke her smooth back.

After the rest ended, Dong Tianyu had a delightful breakfast aboard the Wave Rider and did not hurry to leave the Cave. Instead, he went straight to the second floor of the Hall of Longevity and entered the Scripture Hall.

As the Spirit Energy of the outside world became more and more abundant, Dong Tianyu also began to choose some magical techniques to cultivate.

The first choice was undoubtedly the Sword Control Technique, although the Art of Controlling Objects could replace the Sword Control Technique to a certain extent.

But whether it’s in terms of flying speed or the ability to carry weight while flying, the gap between the Art of Controlling Objects and the Sword Control Technique is huge.

Besides the Sword Control Technique, he had essentially mastered the basic Five Elements Technique and the Five Elements Escaping Technique as well.

Originally, Dong Tianyu also wanted to learn some divination-related techniques, but the prices set by the Scripture Hall made him hesitate. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When Dong Tianyu came out of the Cave, he noticed that the concentration of Spirit Energy in the outside air had significantly increased again. At this time, the concentration outside was about half that of the Cave’s.

If the concentration continued to increase at this rate, it was possible that in a month or a half month, the concentration of Spirit Energy in the outside air could rise to a level similar to that inside the Cave.

After learning this information, Dong Tianyu somewhat helplessly shook his head. If that time really came, he wouldn’t be too worried.

After all, the survivors who followed the Martial Artist’s path were basically ruined. The path of the Martial Artist seemed smooth in the cultivation phase, but only those who actually cultivated knew that even at the Middle Martial stage, unless they practiced a special cultivation technique, they simply could not survive a sniper’s headshot ambush.

To embark on the martial way sounds pleasant, but it gets more difficult as one progresses. However, given the large base of Martial Artists in China, even if the chances are small, every period there will emerge dazzlingly talented main characters who shatter the value systems of the world.

Dong Tianyu admired those geniuses, but he knew he would not become one of them.

From beginning to end, even after his rebirth, Dong Tianyu’s goal hadn’t changed. He wanted to live safely until the natural disaster ended and return to that peaceful and harmonious time.

Because he had learned many new techniques, Dong Tianyu did not plan to stay in the camp. Instead, he prepared to go out and find a secluded place to test the effects.

Compared to the once barren wilderness with only bare trees, the forest in China was now occupied by a variety of plants on the ground.

Looking at the forest that had sprung back to life, Dong Tianyu began to recite the Technique of Aura Vision he had learned on a whim.

The Technique of Aura Vision is simple yet complex. Dong Tianyu learned it mainly to find spiritual flora and fauna newly emerged in the forest and energy-rich ores.

Normally, using the Technique of Aura Vision, one could only see if there were materials with Spirit Power within the range of sight, but when Dong Tianyu had a stroke of genius combining it with Spiritual Sense Scanning.

Dong Tianyu suddenly realized his Divine Sense was becoming more and more like the mini-map in a game.

When the Technique of Aura Vision combined with the Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu felt as if he were playing a game. The scenery outside his Divine Sense was pitch dark, and only after he physically reached the area could he record the surroundings.

Using the Art of Controlling Objects to control five or six chopping knives to clear the way, Dong Tianyu’s entry into the forest this time would not be fixated on any gains; it was just a walk to clear his mind.

However, as Dong Tianyu ventured deeper into the forest, he soon encountered the vines that the hunting team members had reported.

Although these vines were hidden among the grasses on the ground, once Dong Tianyu expanded his Divine Sense, every blade of grass was mapped within, making it impossible for the vines to hide from his Divine Sense no matter how well they were hidden.

Dong Tianyu had no intention of experiencing what it felt like to be caught by the vines and hung in the air, so upon encountering them, he simply used the clearing knives to cut them apart.

What Dong Tianyu did not expect was that the attacked vines exhibited behavior inconsistent with plant characteristics; they actually showed a reaction to pain.

Normally, plants do not have a sense of pain, but the reaction of the vines to the attack clearly expressed that they could feel pain and would retract the attacked part when hit.

This piqued Dong Tianyu’s interest, and he used his Divine Sense to track the swiftly retracting vines, attempting to find their core.

Although the wounded vines only retracted a certain distance before stopping, Dong Tianyu still used his Divine Sense to continue tracking toward the source.

But Dong Tianyu had not expected that the seemingly inconspicuous vines could extend hundreds of meters on the ground.
