Within a certain valley with a waterfall as majestic as the Milky Way.

The flow of water was rapid and violent, repeatedly cras.h.i.+ng down on the world below. Below the waterfall stood a young man with his upper body bared who was resisting the weight of the waterfall with his body.

It was worth noting that the impact of this waterfall was something not even a late-stage Transformation Realm cultivator would dare take on for a long period of time. Those failing to resist the impact would injure themselves, with some even having their heads outright crushed under the water.

The young man stood there without as much as an outer energy layer protecting himself. His physical prowess could clearly be seen. He stood firm, as if he had been nailed there. Standing there in a carefree manner, he was completely unaffected as the waterfall crashed down on him repeatedly.

In reality, all his focus was concentrated on resisting the waterfall. His teeth were clenched, and he was struggling to stay alive. In his mind was a pitch-black s.p.a.ce, and inside it, a miniature person was seated cross-legged and acting as the guardian protector of his head.

Under the pressure, the pitch-black s.p.a.ce seemed to be turning more and more solid, as if it was being forged by the waterfall. As for the miniature person sitting cross-legged, his resonance with the pitch-black s.p.a.ce seemed to be slowly growing. It was unknown how long this young man had been standing here, but he was finally reaching his limit.

”AHHHH!”

He raised his head and roared at the sky, unleas.h.i.+ng the power previously contained within his body. A purple and gold energy barrier formed around him while the apparitions of a dragon and a tiger appeared around him. He looked like the son of heaven, his imposing might one that few people could compare with.

Who would this young man be if not Xiang Shaoyun?

After parting ways with Dong Ziwan, he did not enter the Backhill Town. Rather, he took a detour and moved through some inhabited mountains, making use of the different geography to temper himself through nature itself.

Currently, Xiang Shaoyun was digging into his hidden potential under a waterfall. At the same time, he was increasing the resonance between his soul and the Nether Soul Domain so as to better his understanding of the Nether Soul Domain. As he erupted his power, part of the waterfall was forced to flow in reverse. From this, it was clear how powerful he was currently.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun walked out from beneath the waterfall while emanating a steadfast aura, baring his seemingly boundless potential. He proceeded to catch some fish from a pond not far away. After roasting them, he wolfed them down. Done with eating, he lay down on the gra.s.sland. Sensing the warmth of the suns.h.i.+ne, his mood improved.

Regular training is not able to increase my cultivation speed. Only by tempering myself endlessly at the edge of death will I be able to grow further. I need to look for a new place of cultivation, a place that is more suitable for me, Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself.

After thinking about it, he decided to first look for a town so he could ask around for some dangerous locations where he would be able to temper himself. It once crossed his mind to go to the Cloud Margin City. There would be more cultivation resources there, but he was also sure that if he dared reveal himself there, it wouldn't be long before his enemies found him.

This was not a risk Xiang Shaoyun was prepared to take. Thus, he was not going to visit Cloud Margin City for now. After he was done resting, he cleaned himself up before resuming his travel.

A few days later, he finally arrived at a town called the Green Bamboo Town, a town that was even smaller and weaker than Wu Town. Its government was also much more dest.i.tute in comparison.

As its name implied, green bamboos could be found everywhere in its vicinity. Because of that, the town had a serene and graceful environment. Walking amid the bamboo forest and listening to the bamboos rustling in the wind, Xiang Shaoyun felt incomparably comfortable.

When he arrived at a teahouse near the town, he sat down, ordered a cup of tea, and asked the waiter, ”Waiter, do you know of any dangerous areas around here?”

”You're jesting, customer. How would a commoner like me know of something like that?” answered the waiter.
