In an instant, all the expressions on the stone man's face froze.
Previously, its expression had been very calm, but its human-like expression was very vivid. Now that it froze, it really looked like a statue.
Yang Dingtian repeated again, "The person who taught you to speak is called Xuwu Piaoyan, right?"
Finally, the stone man had an expression. He nodded and said, "Yes, how did you know?"
As for Yao Li, she had also looked towards Yang Dingtian.
Xuwu Piaoyan was a top secret in the human countries. Almost no one had heard of him. However, in Little Western Paradise, he was indeed the most famous person. It was a name with a religious color. It was almost synonymous with the savior.
Although, he did not succeed in saving the world.
"Because the cadence of your speech, even the tone, and the ending sound are all imitating him."
Yang Dingtian said, "Also, your face was also carved by him. Although it has been eroded by time and is a little blurry, I can still see that it is his work."
The stone man fell into silence. After a long time, he said again, "How did you know?"
Yao Li also looked at Yang Dingtian again.
Although the two questions were the same, the second one meant, "How did you know everything about Xuwu Piaoyan?"
"Because, I am almost his only direct descendant," Yang Dingtian said.
Suddenly, Yao Li was shocked.
That's right, Little Western Paradise looked down on humans very much because the cultivation of humans was generally much lower than the demon fox nobles.
However, this definitely did not include Xuwu Piaoyan. Because in many works in Little Western Paradise, Xuwu Piaoyan, as a human, had broken through the limits of the philosophy of the chaotic species and reached the demigod level that only the Naga could reach.
Even in the Little Western Paradise, this kind of level was definitely a high mountain that one could only look up to.
As for Yang Dingtian, he was actually his only successor.
Of course, whether it was Yao Li or Bolu, they were absolutely sure that Yang Dingtian would not lie.
To a certain extent, Yang Dingtian would not lie, just like Yao Li would not lie.
Although the two of them had different personalities, their characters were completely trustworthy.
"Oh, no wonder!"
The stone man said, "But it's a pity. Although he was once my master, the person I hate the most now is him.
So it's still useless. You still have to answer the question. If you answer wrong, I'll still kill you. "
Yang Dingtian was not surprised at all by this answer.
Stone Golem felt that he had been abandoned, so he hated Xuwu Piaoyan to the core.
Yang Dingtian: "Even if my answer is correct, you will still kill us."
The stone golem nodded and said, "Yes, so no one who enters my trap can survive."
Yang Dingtian: "I won't answer."
"Then you will die too."
The stone man said slowly, "However, I will definitely leave your corpse intact because I can remember your face."
"I won't answer. We have to get out of here alive," Yang Dingtian said. "Because I have to find traces of Xuwu Piaoyan.
If I find him, I'll help you ask him why he abandoned you. "
Instantly, the stone golem trembled.
"If I get the answer, no matter what, I will come back and tell you."
Yang Dingtian continued, "If you let us out, I will help you find the answer to why you were abandoned. Whether there is an answer or not, I will come back and tell you.
This is our agreement. "
The facial features of the blurry face shattered a little because of the emotional fluctuations, and the gravel fell down.
Then, its stone face twitched. It was a stone golem, so there were no tears.
However, what Yang Dingtian said was the most painful thing in its heart, the thing that it hated the most, and the thing that it couldn't let go of.
Back then, why did its master abandon it?
He gave it wisdom, taught it to speak, and turned it from an ignorant life into an intelligent life that learned joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
The stone golem thought that it would always be like this.
Until one day, its master disappeared, leaving it alone in the dark world.
That feeling was completely indescribable.
Although the stone golem was very powerful and had wisdom.
However, its mind was still the same as a pet.
A pet abandoned by its master, especially an intelligent pet, was the most painful.
Moreover, it was left behind in this lonely dark world.
Therefore, this pain tortured it, causing it to become dark and cruel. It specialized in hunting people for pleasure.
It wasn't even for the sake of becoming stronger, because strength was useless to a stone man like it.
Why did its master abandon it?
It was a question that it could not answer even if it exhausted all of its pain.
Moreover, it would continue to torture it.
If someone was willing to give it an answer, it was willing to pay a lot of things in exchange. The lives of Yang Dingtian and the others were nothing.
"I believe in your promise. You are a man of your words." the stone golem slowly said, "I will wait for you here."
"Good."
Yang Dingtian: "Then, tell me first, before coming to the second dark domain, where did you and master go?"
"Many, many, many, many places!"
The stone golem said, "But at that time, my wisdom had just been enlightened, so I could not remember too many things."
"Did he write or leave any scrolls in the second dark domain?" Yang Dingtian asked.
The stone golem fell into deep thought.
It pondered for a full hour.
"I am very, very sorry."
The stone golem said, "I am not a true intelligent lifeform after all. I do not have a human brain, so I cannot store a lot of information. I can only store limited information.
This so-called scroll of yours is probably not important in my eyes, so I did not store it.
However, in the vague feedback from my memory, it should be there. He did leave a scroll, but I cannot remember where it is. "
"In the second dark domain?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Probably not."
The stone golem said, "Because, after we came here, he spent almost all of his time thinking!"
"Thank you for the information." Yang Dingtian: "Then, goodbye."
"Please!" the stone golem said.
…
Just like that, Yang Dingtian and the others returned to the surface.
This trip was truly a frightening one.
It seemed that they could not simply barge into any cave. No wonder nine out of ten people who entered the dark domain to cultivate did not return.
It was simply too dangerous!
Fortunately, Yang Dingtian was related to Xuwu Piaoyan. Otherwise, he would have died ten times over.
After coming out, Yang Dingtian could not help but ask, "Yao Li, what is the cultivation of this stone golem?"
"I don't know." Yao Li shook her head and said, "It's unfathomable. I can't see clearly."
Yang Dingtian clicked his tongue. If even Yao Li could not see clearly, then what cultivation level was that? At least, it was a cultivation level that Yang Dingtian could not imagine.
Yao Li continued, "Moreover, over the years, there must have been many Saint-level powerhouses who entered the stone golem's cave to cultivate in the dark domain. Some teams even had more than one Saint-level powerhouse.
However, they are all dead. From this, we can infer how strong this stone golem's cultivation is. "
"Yang Dingtian, this stone golem is just your master's pet and it is already so powerful. How powerful must your master be?" Yao Zi's beautiful eyes were filled with little stars.
Yao Li glared fiercely at Yao Zi and then opened the energy jade box. There were five energy essences inside. It was the fruit of a team of more than ten people that the stone golem had just killed.
Yao Li picked out the largest one and handed it to Yang Dingtian, "This should be the energy essence of an eleventh-level ninth-grade. After fusing with the eleventh-level Balrog essence in your hand and devouring it together, you should be able to break through to the tenth-level."
Yang Dingtian took it.
Then, Yao Li kept one for herself, gave one to Yao Zi, one to Bo Lu, and one to Ah Wen and Ah Wu.
Yao Li said, "Don't devour it here. It's too close to the cave. Someone might come.
While the sky is still dark, let's find a place and devour the energy essences. "
"Okay!"
Immediately, everyone continued to fly toward the north.
In just a moment, they suddenly saw more than ten figures!
Immediately, Yang Dingtian, Yao Li, and the others felt as if they were facing a great enemy. Their hair stood on end as they drew their swords and prepared to fight.
One should know that in the dark domain, everyone was a competitor.
Even if they were familiar with each other in the Little Western Paradise, they might draw their swords here.
And when the other party discovered Yao Li, Yang Dingtian, and the others, their first reaction was to draw their weapons.
Yang Dingtian could only pray that they were not Yao Leng's people.
"Isn't this the princess of the Golden Ah Clan, Sister Yao Li?" Suddenly, an enchanting and sarcastic voice came from the opposite side.
When Yao Li saw who it was, she frowned and sheathed her sword.
"Yao Luo, the daughter of a High Noble from Silver City. Her clan's elder was once the deputy chairman of His Excellency Yongshe," Yao Li said.
Sometimes there was a deputy chairman of Little Western Paradise, and sometimes there wasn't.
When a family contributed a lot to a chairman, and the chairman had to rely on this family for many things, he would choose a representative from this family to be his deputy chairman.
Yang Dingtian looked up and saw that this Yao Luo was extremely seductive and seductive. Even in the dark domain, she was still dressed very sexily.
As for the dozen or so people around her, they were all demon fox males. It was obvious that they were all her protectors.
Seeing Yang Dingtian looking over, Yao Luo hooked her hand and said, "Mister, don't follow Yao Li anymore. Follow me. You'll definitely be rewarded."
After saying that, she even cast a seductive glance at Yang Dingtian and bent down, making the cleavage in front of her chest even deeper.
Presumably, she used this method to recruit helpers.
"Thank you," Yang Dingtian said with a smile, and then ignored her.
Yao Luo was snubbed. She curled her lips and said, "Another blind toad. Yao Li only has the chairman in her eyes. She doesn't care about toads like you."
Then, she led the dozen escorts and headed south, in the direction of the stone man's cave.
Yao Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Yao Luo, although I hate you, I have to tell you, don't go south anymore. There's danger ahead."
Yao Luo's beautiful eyes turned and said, "It should be the opposite. There must be elemental creatures ahead. You guys can't beat them and ran away, but you don't want to let us off easy. But I want to go, hehe …"
After that, Yao Luo laughed lasciviously and flew towards the south at lightning speed.
These dozen people were dead for sure. They were going to become the stone man's prey again.
Yao Li shook her head. Then, the six of them put away their swords and continued to fly north.
…
Finding a relatively secluded place, Yao Li said, "Yang Dingtian, devour the energy essence. Bolu and I will stand guard for you."
Yang Dingtian did not argue and nodded.
Then, he fused the energy essence of the Rank 11 Fire Demon and an Rank 11 Rank 9 energy essence together.
Immediately, it turned into a faint purple energy essence.
Then, Yang Dingtian sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to devour the energy essence in his hand.
"Boom!"
Immediately, this energy essence that was infinitely close to the twelfth rank poured into Yang Dingtian's mystic meridians and into his qi vessel like an avalanche.
This energy was really too domineering.
When it poured into Yang Dingtian's energy reserve, Yang Dingtian almost couldn't bear it. Before he broke through, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes and he almost fainted instantly.
Yang Dingtian poured in all his willpower and forced himself to stay awake. He continued to devour the energy essence.
An energy essence that was close to Rank 12 was indeed incomparably powerful.
Originally, it was very difficult to break through from the ninth rank to the tenth rank because it involved the concept of rank.
Just like breaking through from Rank 9 Revered Martial Artist to Master or breaking through from Rank 9 Martial Artist to Great Grandmaster, it was all very difficult.
Of course, breaking through from Rank 9 Rank 9 to Rank 10 was definitely not as difficult as breaking through to Great Grandmaster.
Because the most difficult hurdle was between Rank 9 and Rank 15!
It was only a quarter of an hour!
Yang Dingtian's energy reserve was completely filled. Then, it began to expand, expand …
"Boom!" The entire energy reserve suddenly exploded.
Then, his entire body sank into nothingness.
He very, very smoothly broke through to Rank 10 powerhouse.
However, the devouring of the energy essence was not over yet.
Endless amounts of energy continued to pour into his body.
Soon, Yang Dingtian's energy reserve was once again filled to the brim.
"Boom!" Instantly, Yang Dingtian once again sank into nothingness.
His cultivation had once again broken through to the first grade of the Tenth Rank.
However, the devouring of the energy essence still continued.
Yao Li, who was at the side, was stunned!
Yang Dingtian's profound veins and energy reserve were actually so heaven-defying. His utilization of the energy essence was actually so high?
Under such circumstances, the Demon Fox High Noble would at most break through to Rank 10 powerhouse before exhausting his energy. However, Yang Dingtian was actually able to break through again.
In the end, Yang Dingtian did not break through to Rank 10 Rank 2. He was only a little bit away, but it was already enough to shock everyone.
After devouring, Yang Dingtian felt his own cultivation!
Compared to when he was a Nine-star Rank 9 Great Grandmaster, his current cultivation was about seven to eight times.
Yao Li looked at Yang Dingtian. "You're really much more special than I thought. Now, I'm really looking forward to seeing how long you'll take to break through to Rank 15 Half-Saint."
Yang Dingtian: "I can't say how much I'll break through. I can only stay here for a year at most. Then, I'll go to another Dark Realm.
So, we have to race against time.
I suggest that we don't hide to rest during the day. Continue to cultivate. "
Yao Li thought for a while and suddenly nodded.
After the sun rose, Yang Dingtian and the other five did not enter the cave to rest. Instead, they continued to explore and hunt.
…
Time flowed like water, quickly passing by.
Soon, two months had passed.
