Li Xuan ultimately chose to abandon the ruins of the Fushui Sect.
In life, there are times when one does not necessarily need to obtain everything. It is through gains and losses that life can be considered truly complete.
Next, Li Xuan, with Dabai, headed directly towards the central region of this Divine Realm.
According to Dabai's explanation, the entire Weeping Blood Divine Palace was called the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm was divided into three areas: the outer periphery, the central region, and the inner domain.
The location where Li Xuan and other participants entered was a randomly teleported spot in the outer periphery. Within this Divine Realm, the outer periphery was not only the place with the weakest spiritual energy but also where opportunities were scarce.
Furthermore, Li Xuan's objective this time was the Dao Sword in the inner domain, and he naturally had no time to explore ruins here.
With Dabai's guidance, Li Xuan easily found a shortcut to the central region. To a large extent, having Dabai made Li Xuan's journey much more convenient.
"The spiritual energy in this central region is indeed much denser than the outer periphery," Li Xuan took a deep breath and said with emotion as he looked at the mountain range ahead.
"When you are capable of entering the inner domain, that place will truly be a cultivation paradise. However, even in this central region, you must be careful. At least eighty percent of the powerful cultivators in the Divine Realm live in this central region," Dabai replied.
"Besides that, this central region itself contains many dangerous areas. It can be said that once you survive the central region, you will have the qualification to enter the inner domain. Of course, this is only a qualification."
Li Xuan's expression became serious. Ultimately, personal strength was the greatest qualification for entry. Otherwise, if one were to survive by chance, they might not have such good luck in the inner domain.
"How do we proceed from here?" Li Xuan asked, looking at Dabai in his arms.
Dabai immediately shook his head. "Do you think I'm an omniscient being? I only come to this central region occasionally. The deeper you go, the greater the suppression, and I don't dare to rush in recklessly. So, from now on, it's up to you."
Li Xuan smiled wryly, wondering if he had made a losing deal again.
"Dabai, how about I send you somewhere?" Li Xuan thought for a moment and said.
"Where?" Dabai looked up at Li Xuan curiously. The next moment, as if realizing something, he stood up abruptly. "Is the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Ancestor also there?"
Li Xuan smiled and nodded. "Although you are no longer of great help to me now, I am a person who values promises. This can be considered fulfilling my promise."
"Thank you," Dabai said after a moment of silence.
Li Xuan smiled, and then with a thought, he sent Dabai into the Zhen Prison. Of course, Li Xuan had also communicated with Xiaobai, otherwise, he would not have directly taken Dabai into the Zhen Prison.
After handling Dabai's matters, Li Xuan looked ahead.
The next moment, Li Xuan's figure moved, rushing forward.
Since even Dabai's strength posed a threat, there was no need to continue wandering outside with Dabai. Whether for Dabai's safety or his own, Li Xuan was undoubtedly in his best state alone.
"Run!"
Just as Li Xuan reached the edge of a mountain forest, a startled cry suddenly came from within the woods. The next moment, several figures shot out in disarray. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared completely from Li Xuan's sight.
"Ah!"
At this moment, screams echoed from within the forest, mixed with a low growl.
"It's the Roaring Cloud Tiger King! I think you should leave before it discovers you," Dabai's voice entered Li Xuan's ears. Clearly, he had received permission from the prison spirit.
"Tell me more about this Roaring Cloud Tiger King," Li Xuan said after a moment of silence.
"Are you sure you don't want to find another place?" Dabai asked.
Li Xuan looked resolutely into the depths of the forest. "Since this central region is full of dangers, let's forge ahead. If we encounter danger and retreat, how can we grow?"
"The Roaring Cloud Tiger King is born with the strength of the Divine End realm. That's why it's called the Tiger King. An adult Roaring Cloud Tiger King can even reach the Feather Ascension realm. This Roaring Cloud Tiger King should be at the peak of the Heavenly End realm," Dabai explained.
"Peak Heavenly End realm, that's not an insurmountable challenge," Li Xuan said, relieved.
"I forgot to tell you, Roaring Cloud Tiger Kings are social creatures," Dabai added unhurriedly.
Li Xuan: "..."
The next moment, Li Xuan's figure moved, instantly teleporting away.
A single Roaring Cloud Tiger King, Li Xuan felt he could still fight. But if they were social, he would rather concede.
Roar!
The instant Li Xuan teleported away, a Roaring Cloud Tiger King, nearly ten feet tall, charged out as fast as lightning. With a mighty roar, the entire mountain range trembled.
Li Xuan, who had already teleported a thousand meters away, couldn't help but stagger, feeling a sense of luck. Even one of them would probably be difficult to handle. The thought of Dabai's mention of them being social made Li Xuan's scalp tingle.
"Little Master, didn't you just say you couldn't fight it?" the Heavenly Dao Brush asked.
"Master, why don't you throw this broken brush away? It's always arguing with you," the Cang Ling Tower's voice also sounded.
"Broken tower, do you want to fight again?" the Heavenly Dao Brush roared.
"Bring it on, who's afraid of whom!" the Cang Ling Tower retorted defiantly.
"You two, quiet down for a while," Li Xuan said, seeing that the two were about to start bickering again.
After speaking, Li Xuan moved again, and the next moment, he was far from that mountain forest.
"The area ahead is the territory of the Snow Kirin Python," Dabai's voice sounded in Li Xuan's mind ten minutes after he had flown out.
Li Xuan's figure stopped. "Don't tell me they are social too?"
"This Snow Kirin Python is not social," Dabai replied.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Dabai's next words made him speechless.
"It's just that the Roaring Cloud Tiger King, if alone, wouldn't dare to come to the Snow Kirin Python's territory. And the Snow Kirin Python could probably swallow a Roaring Cloud Tiger King in one gulp."
Li Xuan broke out in a cold sweat and immediately changed direction.
"There are Giant Tan Spiritual Apes ahead, and they are also social."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xuan had moved again.
Li Xuan finally understood. Dabai would always mention any threat that he couldn't defeat. After witnessing the Roaring Cloud Tiger King, Li Xuan could only choose to avoid direct confrontation. Without sufficient strength, it was better to keep a low profile.
"There's no need to detour. Ahead is a solitary Seven-Colored Profound Serpent. And it only has the strength of the early Heavenly End realm, which is quite suitable for you to practice against," Dabai's voice rang out.
Li Xuan's heart stirred. Constantly changing routes like this had built up a lot of frustration. Now that it was a solitary Seven-Colored Profound Serpent, he naturally couldn't choose to detour again.
The next moment, Li Xuan accelerated and entered the Seven-Colored Profound Serpent's territory, looking down.
"Seek battle!"
