With the return of Emperor Xia, the entire Great Xia has returned to normal operation, but no one has noticed that the matter about Emperor Xia's shot has quietly disappeared from people's ears, and anyone who knows about it, regardless of the strength of the position, has been banned one by one, and as time goes by, coupled with a variety of different events that have been pushed out by people with intentions, it didn't take long for no one to pay attention to it anymore.

All kinds of elixirs and spiritual herbs that nourish essence and blood are continuously transported to Ulan City from all over the country, and the imperial court even vacated a large warehouse to store it, although the matter of Emperor Xia burning essence and blood is extremely secret, but there are still people who analyze it from the wind and grass, and go up under various guises.

Emperor Xia has been in retreat since he returned to the imperial court, and he who burned his essence and blood will not be able to recover at all in a few years, coupled with the humiliation he received from this outing, which makes him calm down, and he will never go out if he does not break through, as for the governance of Great Xia, he has already had a complete system, and he doesn't need to worry too much.

It's just that it's not easy to break through, otherwise Great Xia would have surpassed the existence of refining gods a lot.

Gathering the strength of the whole country, it also created one of him, mainly exercises, although it is considered the best in Great Xia, compared to Zhang Xiaohu's, it is still a lot worse, and the other is that although the world is full of spiritual herbs and elixirs, and the spiritual energy is rich, but because of this, this spiritual energy is balanced, and there will rarely be particularly precious spiritual grass, to the point where he has reached this point, the total amount of spiritual energy needs to be too large, and it is difficult to provide it by these alone.

Zhang Xiaohu and Xiang'er's bounty is still posted on the city wall, after the wind, rain and sun, it has long turned yellow and broken, and it used to be replaced not long after, but now no one mentions it, everyone seems to have forgotten them.

............

Zhang Xiaohu was in a trance, his consciousness was blurred, as if he was floating in a dark world, with no sound or light.

Time passed, and he didn't know how long it took, maybe it was an instant, maybe 10,000 years, and slowly his consciousness began to wake up.

Where is this?

Zhang Xiaohu can't feel the existence of his body, and can only use his perception to observe the world.

It was dark, silent, and the only thing left was his whirring panting.

Am I dead? Is this hell?

Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly, although he couldn't feel his expression.

It's okay, I've traveled so many places all the way, and it's time to stop, but it's a pity that I still can't return to my father's side after all.

Xiang'er, Xiang'er.

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly remembered, why is he alone, and Xiang'er, where is Xiaobai, isn't he together when he dies? Or, isn't he dead?

As this thought came to mind, the pain quickly returned to the body.

"Ah......h

Zhang Xiaohu gritted his teeth, and the sudden pain was a hundred times magnified compared to usual, and almost fainted him in an instant.

Not dead, haha, sure enough, not dead.

In pain, Zhang Xiaohu showed an ecstatic expression.

Just where is this? Why is there nothing but darkness?

Doubts followed, and Zhang Xiaohu fell into deep thought.

What happened to Xiang'er, whether she escaped from Emperor Xia, where she was, and how to leave, one question after another.

He didn't die, presumably Xiang'er should have gotten rid of Emperor Xia, and should have taken himself to hide somewhere, Zhang Xiaohu guessed, relieved in his heart, of course, it is not ruled out that both of them were caught, but since he is not dead, it is more likely to escape.

Without the sun and moon, there is no sense of time passing, Zhang Xiaohu stays alone in the silent night, if it is not for his strong mind, loneliness can make people crazy.

Zhang Xiaohu's eyes widened, looking at the dark and boundless surroundings, still clueless.

The pain gradually disappeared, and finally Zhang Xiaohu gave up his boring speculation, since he is not dead and still alive, then run the exercises, no matter what place it is, as long as he is alive, he will eventually go out one day.

Although he couldn't perceive the existence of his body, Zhang Xiaohu was still working hard in his heart to run the exercises and carry his strength.

I don't know how long it took, I don't know how long after the pain left, an extremely comfortable feeling poured into his heart, Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes, and two fine lights flashed in the dark.

This is the feeling of muscle recovery and being nourished by strength, Zhang Xiaohu is very familiar with it, and every time he runs the exercises after an injury, he will have such a feeling.

Although he couldn't feel the existence of his body, Zhang Xiaohu believed that as long as he continued to run like this, one day, he would return to the normal world.

Zhang Xiaohu closed his eyes and ran the exercises, but he didn't notice that in the darkness, a pair of faint eyes suddenly appeared.

In those eyes, there are constantly pictures one by one, and everything about Zhang Xiaohu is reproduced in these eyes.

"The exercises were used by him for promotion?"

His eyes blinked a few times, and suddenly a voice said softly, strangely, Zhang Xiaohu didn't notice it at all, and still tried to continue to run the exercises.

"The strength is exhausted, the body is seriously traumatized, and you still want to advance like this? Forget it, I'll help you, and it's up to you in the future."

As the words came, a faintly visible finger nodded to this side, "Ah, forget that this kid's injury is not healed yet, hehe, no matter, you can enjoy it yourself"

The sound faded, silence continued, and the eyes gradually vanished.

The pain that had disappeared suddenly appeared, Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes instantly, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide, invisible beads of sweat rolled down, Zhang Xiaohu, who had never shouted pain, couldn't help but shout at this moment.

"Ah...... Ah......h

The feeling of the muscles of the whole body being torn, not only the muscles, but even the bones seem to have been shattered, although Zhang Xiaohu can't feel the body, but he can feel the source of this pain, it is very wonderful to say, but this is it.

The muscles were torn and recombined again, and then torn again, and again combined, the bones were broken little by little, and even the bone marrow could be felt broken one by one, which was not just visible to the naked eye, in his senses, every cell was constantly fragmenting and recombining, and the neurons were constantly being transmitted to the mind with huge pain, and the steel teeth that could not be felt were about to be bitten off, and there was a feeling of wanting to faint in pain, but it was extremely awake.

The pain kept coming, just like the quenching before every promotion, but it was more intense than any time.

Zhang Xiaohu felt very strange, the previous escape, had already squeezed out all the potential in the body, drinking a large amount of spiritual liquid, which made the body hurt even more, and now staying in this darkness, it is estimated that it is the sequelae of being too seriously injured, but there is no sign of improvement, and there is no strength to quench the body, how does this feeling come from now?

Could it be that Xiang'er found some natural treasure outside?

Zhang Xiaohu was thinking wildly, gritting his teeth and bearing the pain, but he couldn't imagine that this was just a small mistake made by someone unintentionally, and he didn't bother to change it, so he suffered in vain.

The pain hit wave after wave, and the thinking gradually became blurred, but the pain did not weaken at all because of the blur, and it was only a blurred thinking, and I wanted to faint because of this, but I couldn't do it, so I could only endure it silently.

I don't know how long it took, finally, the pain began to weaken, and the body seemed to come back, Zhang Xiaohu tried to look down at himself, although he still couldn't see, but he could feel the opening and closing of his palm.

In the dark, a little light slowly appeared, Zhang Xiaohu stared tightly, and with the light, his body slowly appeared in his eyes.

This is the space where the strength originated, and the place of light is the mysterious diamond-shaped crystal.

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't see his body all the time, here, the body is just a faint phantom, in the extreme darkness, where can it be seen, plus this is just a phantom, even if you touch it, you can't touch it.

The diamond-shaped crystal gradually lit up, at first it was only a little in the middle, and as the light gradually strengthened, the whole crystal appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohu's eyes.

Looking at the various exercises and skills on it, Zhang Xiaohu was full of feelings, from the nine most obvious postures that he had just gotten at the bottom, to the exercises of the refining period at the top, and the secret skills obtained in the cloud forest halfway, the secret methods of the Zhangjia Library in Zhongzhou, and the various skills he created himself according to these exercises, which were automatically engraved on the diamond-shaped crystal one by one, so to speak, everything about Zhang Xiaohu is displayed here.

The extremely mysterious diamond-shaped crystal, even today, Zhang Xiaohu still knows nothing about it.

But now, Zhang Xiaohu's eyes are staring at the crystal, every time he advances, he brings a new kind of exercise, he is eager to know, what will be this time, and what is the name of the existence that transcends the refining god, these have to wait for the crystal to tell.

After quenching the body, it is promoted, this routine, Zhang Xiaohu is already familiar with it, but each time the promotion experience is different, Zhang Xiaohu didn't guess, just looked at the crystal, how to change, the exercises themselves will work, he just wants to know, in addition to the exercises this time, there will be other changes.

has already reached this realm, placed in the whole world, it is a top-notch existence, if it is just the appearance of the exercises, it seems that he is a little sorry for the audience, and he suddenly has a feeling in his heart that this time the change should be the biggest one.

The light is getting brighter and brighter, and now, like a small sun, it illuminates every corner of the darkness, and the human eye can hardly look at it.

Zhang Xiaohu blocked his eyes with his blurred hands, and continued to look through his illusory body, feeling very nervous.
