Zhang Xiaohao stopped five steps away from the greenish-blue small tree and sized it up.

"Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to act. Hurry up and make your move before I do!" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

With his words falling, the surroundings became very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Yet, the Netherworld King Poison Snake on the greenish-blue small tree didn’t make a move.

"Not making a move, huh? Fine! Then don’t make a move." Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

Feeling Zhang Xiaohao’s impatience, just as Zhang Xiaohao was about to strike, the Netherworld King Poison Snake suddenly moved.

Whoosh!

The small body of the Netherworld King Poison Snake swiftly charged at Zhang Xiaohao with a gust of wind, the vermilion-black venom gathering on its tongue, aiming for Zhang Xiaohao.

"That’s more like it!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.

"Time stands still!" Zhang Xiaohao yelled, and the charging Netherworld King Poison Snake’s body suddenly froze in the air like lightning.

Blinking its snake eyes, it seemed to be saying, what the hell is going on? Why can’t I move?

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t care what it was thinking, flipped his right hand, took out a purple Sealing Jade Box, and tossed the Netherworld King Poison Snake inside, while pulling out a series of Sealing Talismans, sticking them on its body, and threw it into the purple jade box. After doing all of this, he stored the purple jade box in his storage bag.

Poor Netherworld King Poison Snake, without causing any uproar, was suppressed by Zhang Xiaohao in an instant. It wasn’t that it was too weak, nor was Zhang Xiaohao too strong, but Zhang Xiaohao’s Divine Skills specialized in restraining it. Moreover, it was still only ninety-nine thousand nine hundred years old, far from reaching one hundred thousand years.

As long as it hadn’t reached the age of one hundred thousand years, it was very weak, recklessly attacking Zhang Xiaohao. It would be strange if such a fool wasn’t sealed!

After dealing with the Netherworld King Poison Snake, Zhang Xiaohao was no longer obstructed by anything.

A few flickers later, Zhang Xiaohao arrived in front of the greenish-blue small tree, smiled in satisfaction at the three green divine fruits the size of adult fists growing on it.

"Good stuff! With these three green divine fruits, using them as the main ingredient to refine into an elixir, any injury will instantly heal." Zhang Xiaohao thought excitedly.

Carefully taking out three golden jade boxes, he opened them, picked the three green divine fruits, then placed them in the boxes. After doing all of this, Zhang Xiaohao inscribed a seal on the golden jade boxes and carefully stored them away.

Looking at the greenish-blue small tree before him, Zhang Xiaohao pondered for a moment; a tree capable of nurturing such heavenly treasures as the green divine fruit was undoubtedly not an ordinary thing.

Immediately, he uprooted the greenish-blue small tree, struck it with a sequence of Sealing Spells, sealing it up, and then carefully stored it in the Shennong Ring.

With this greenish-blue small tree, if I utilize Eternal Spring Light, I might go further and produce such heavenly treasures as the green divine fruit once again.

Glancing at the surrounding empty space, Zhang Xiaohao smiled in satisfaction, his body flickered, and he walked forward.

Elixirs, like candy beans, were swallowed into Zhang Xiaohao’s mouth one after another.

A moment later, Zhang Xiaohao exited the Xuantian Mu Feng space, walking on the river surface. He had already stored away the Heavenly Battle Armor and turned back into the black-clothed scholar’s appearance, holding a folded fan as he walked forward.

The ten-thousand-mile ominous river was perilous, with many mighty water beasts lurking beneath the river. As long as they weren’t excessively powerful beasts, Zhang Xiaohao paid them no mind, crushing through with his Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi, unleashing it repeatedly to slay them.

If encountered with monstrous water beasts, he would directly use the Great Covering Sky Reincarnation Thin Cloud Technique, escaping into the void.

He is no fool. Knowing it’s impossible, confronting these monstrous water beasts head-on is nothing but courting death, isn’t it?

The ten-thousand-mile ominous river isn’t considered long but also not short.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaohao spent only a week crossing the ten-thousand-mile ominous river, filled with countless Xuantian Mu Feng, and emerged on the shore.

Standing on the shore, he glanced at the vast forest ahead, smiling as he thought, according to the map information, it would only take a little more time to reach the Jialan Clan.

Rumble!

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohao’s stomach growled, a loud sound echoing from within.

"Hungry, huh? In that case, let’s eat first!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He waved his right hand, clearing away the weeds on the ground, sat down, flipped his palms to take out some braised dishes, beggar’s chicken, and a bottle of ’82 Lafite red wine, and started eating.

With natural beauty on one side and modern cuisine on the other, it felt incredibly satisfying.

"Help! Help! Help..." Just then, an urgent call for help rang out.

A young girl in white rushed out of the forest behind him, looking terrified, as if chased by an ancient beast. Her clothes were disheveled, revealing the white skin on her arms.

Besides this, in her panicked fleeing, she didn’t notice where she was going, tumbling several times, climbing back up, and once again charging forward in terror.

Moments later, she burst out of the towering forest, spotting Zhang Xiaohao enjoying his meal. Her eyes lit up, as if a drowning child seeing the final straw to save them.

"Big Brother, save me..." The young girl in white screamed in terror, swiftly lunging towards him, hiding behind Zhang Xiaohao, clutching him tightly as if afraid he might escape at any moment.

"Heh heh." Zhang Xiaohao chuckled playfully.

He set down his wine glass, lit a cigarette, and squinting, took a few puffs.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

A dozen powerful sounds broke the silence, as a group of men swiftly emerged from the forest, their cultivation around Foundation Establishment Early Stage, wielding low-level magic artifacts, walking coldly forward.

"Little girl, weren’t you quite good at running? Let’s see where you’ll run now! I want to see just how far you can go!" jeered the one-eyed brute in front.

"Ah! Don’t come closer, if you come any closer, this Big Brother won’t let you off!" The girl in white said in terror.
