Previous Chapter

Star-Moon Continent .........

The air is filled with overwhelming killings, and the never-ending smell of conspiracy and blood, this is a continent where martial arts are respected, everyone craves great power, and hard fists are the power they believe in, in the eyes of the cultivators, strength represents everything, whether it is money, women, or supremacy, as long as the strength is strong, all this will be at your fingertips.

However, in the far away part of the mainland, in a remote area, under the boundary of a city called Luogucheng, there is a small village where more than 100 people live at this moment, this place is known as Shangwang Village, there is no fight or killing here, some are just laughter and laughter, children can be seen playing by the river, and not far away is the back of the adults who are busy with agriculture, under the scorching sun, although they are sweating, but their faces are filled with a sweet smile of happiness and satisfaction.

At the same time, in a dilapidated house that has been repaired many times, there is a fifteen-year-old boy, he is wearing a washed white blue long dress, and his somewhat immature cheeks are a little handsome and sunny, and the whole person is full of vitality.

The young man's name is Shan Xiaotian, he has a younger sister, named Shan Qingxue, just from the name, you can see that Shan Qingxue must be a simple and kind cute girl, but the most unfortunate thing is that the two have lost their loved ones since they were young, and they are not accompanied by relatives, but the two seem to be the most important people in each other's lives.

It can be said that Shan Qingxue is the biggest rebel in his life, he will be angry when he touches it, and he can be killed if he is bullied, just this point, you can see how doting and cherishing Shan Xiaotian is to his sister.

"Qingxue, I'm out to work, you stay home alone and pay attention to safety. After breakfast, Shan Xiaotian stood up and walked to the dilapidated wooden door, he picked up the extremely old basket that was placed aside with one hand, held the knocker with the other, and whispered to his sister who was busy.

"Then brother remember to come back early, don't let yourself be too tired. Shan Qingxue was still busy with the things in her hands, her petite and beautiful back was facing Shan Xiaotian, and she whispered softly with her beautiful and touching sweet voice.

"yes, I see. After speaking, Shan Xiaotian opened the door that was swaying as if it might fall down at any time, and walked outside with a basket on his back, but as soon as he walked out of the house, a heat wave came to his face, he raised his eyebrows slightly, although he didn't like this hot climate, but it was really helpless, Then he didn't stop, closed the door and strode towards the hill not far from the village, which was one of the places he often went to on weekdays.

Due to the fact that there are no adults around to take care of them, the two began to learn to bear all the big and small things in life alone at a very young age, and similarly, this also made the two of them extremely strong, and Shan Xiaotian, as an elder brother and a man, naturally had to support their weak family and become the only pillar of the family, and the hard life of going out to work naturally fell on Shan Xiaotian alone.

"Hehe, Xiaotian is going out to work again?" Just as Shan Xiaotian was passing by outside a house, an old man with snowy temples and frosty mustache was sitting outside the other party's house at this time, and when he saw Shan Xiaotian who was going out, he smiled charitantly and smiled.

"Yes, after all, life still has to go on, if you don't go out to do things, you can't fill your stomach, but Grandpa Mo, you sit here early in the morning, but you have to pay more attention to your body, I don't know what's going on this year, the climate is a lot hotter than in previous years, you better go back to the house and rest early!" Shan Xiaotian greeted the old man very politely, with a bright smile on his face, full of concern.

"Okay, you kid go get busy! I'm just too idle on weekdays, so I have nothing to do so I can only sit here and pass the time, not as energetic as you young people, alas! people are old and useless. The old man waved his withered hand at Shan Xiaotian and motioned for him to leave, but he kept lamenting that he was old.

The old man's name is Mo Qimiao, is the only doctor in the village, has saved many people's lives, can be described as respected in the village, and Shan Xiaotian brother and sister are also quite taken care of by Mo Lao, for the old man, the brother and sister are from the bottom of their hearts, each other is more like the relationship between grandchildren, intimate, but it is such an ordinary old man, his longevity has already exceeded 100, the only regret and deficiency is that Mo Lao has no intention of having children under his knees, and can only live alone for the rest of his life, which may be the biggest regret of Mo Lao's life。

"Well, then Grandpa Mo, I'll go first, you take care of yourself. Shan Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense, and after a few words of cold words with Mo Lao, he walked away.

And just as Shan Xiaotian walked out not far away, Mo Lao's cloudy eyes were firmly fixed on his emaciated back, and he glanced at it complicatedly, and let out a silent sigh leisurely in his mouth, I don't know what he was sighing about, it was very inexplicable.

The acquaintances I met along the way, Shan Xiaotian would greet them with the most enthusiastic attitude, and the happy smiles on his face made people feel happy when they saw it, and they couldn't give birth to even half of the displeasure.

Shan Xiaotian walked all the way, reflecting his body under the flames, constantly feeling the scorching heat in the air, the beads of sweat on his forehead fell like rain, and the rhythm dripped on the ground like a hot furnace, and soon when he came to the foot of the Giant Spirit Mountain, he stopped abruptly, looked up at the tall and majestic giant peak in front of him, suddenly grinned, and continued to walk towards the Giant Spirit Mountain with light steps.

Djinn Mountain!

According to the legend, 100,000 years ago, there was an emperor who passed through the heavens and latitudes, and when Shouyuan was approaching, he searched everywhere and finally came to this place, and buried himself here, and this giant spirit mountain is the cemetery of the super power, and it was also transformed by the emperor.

It's just that after many people checked it to no avail, everyone thought that the legend was not a real scam, and finally it slowly faded away, and no one came here to find the coveted imperial treasure and the imperial art.

Shan Xiaotian walked in the dense mountain forest, his eyes kept looking around, he didn't show any interest in the rumors of Juling Mountain, and the things that could make him care about were only the ingredients he needed to fill his stomach today, but he had been looking for more than half an hour, but he didn't have the slightest gain, which made Shan Xiaotian very puzzled in his heart, and didn't understand how the wild fruits, wild vegetables and small animals in the mountains that can be seen everywhere on weekdays seemed to have disappeared today.

However, just as he lowered his head and pondered without thinking, a flash of white light quickly attacked from behind Shan Xiaotian, and in a moment, it burrowed into the flesh and blood of his neck.

"Hmm! What got into my body?" Shan Xiaotian came back to his senses, and soon noticed something strange in his body, he reached out to touch the thing that suddenly appeared on the back of his neck, but before he could touch it, the little thing moved, moving extremely fast in his body, and finally came to his brain.

"Help, please let me go, I don't dare. Just when Shan Xiaotian was frightened, there was a sudden stinging pain in his mind, and a tearing and rapid scream suddenly sounded in his mind.

Xiao Tian was stunned at this time, he didn't understand what was going on, what was the matter with the voice that appeared in his sea of consciousness? But in a trance, he seemed to think of something, his face suddenly became strict, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer.

"Who are you? What do you want to do in the sea of my knowledge, tell me everything you know, and don't try to deceive me, or your fate will be miserable. Shan Xiaotian seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone, but the empty scene around made this ghostly picture extremely mysterious in an instant.

"Uh, don't ...... Don't do it, I'm ...... I say. Just when Shan Xiaotian wanted to control the power in the sea of consciousness to strangle it, the little insect shouted eagerly: "My name is Daydream, I am the youngest prince of the Zerg Insect Emperor, because of his stubborn temperament, so a person ran out of the clan, and our clan is a soul worm that can parasitize on human beings, mainly to suck human essence for a living, our clan is mainly to cultivate souls, so the soul power and vitality are extremely strong, I have told everything I know, you should also fulfill the promise you made and let me go!"

The little insect did not hesitate at all, in the face of the desire to survive, it still couldn't bear the fear of death, and told all the secrets it knew, of course, there may be secrets that it did not reveal, but all this is not so important to Shan Xiaotian.

It's just unexpected, Shan Xiaotian didn't let go of the little worm, but smiled weirdly, and asked very curiously: "That is to say, you want to eat my spirit from the beginning, so I have no reason to let you go, since you are a top soul worm with orthodox royal blood, then as long as I eat you, wouldn't it have a significant increase in my soul power?"

Shan Xiaotian smiled evilly, but the words that came out made the little insect in the sea of knowledge feel desperate, it shouted in panic, and then the little insect seemed to have accepted its fate, knowing that it was in danger of dying today, it was not afraid, and let out the most poignant cry and curse in the sea of knowledge: "You...... If you don't keep your promise, you humans are really the most despicable people, if you kill me, you will never end well, my father will never let you go, and you will definitely die a good death. ”

"Hehe, promise, when will I make the promise to let you go, don't think I don't understand anything, and want to fool me in a few words, you will underestimate me too much. Shan Xiaotian smiled coldly and replied disdainfully.

Although he has lived in the village since he was a child, and he has hardly stepped out of the village, he still knows many things clearly, such as some familiarity and functions of soul insects, he clearly knows what a precious treasure soul insects are for cultivators, as long as he sucks soul insects, his soul power will be significantly increased, and it will be a permanent increase, if he is really regarded as an ordinary down-and-out little boy, then the final outcome will be quite tragic and grief-stricken remorse.
