“Don’t ask me where the Naga’s Deep Sea Xuan clothes came from and don’t ask me why I’m lending it to you, okay?” Ximen Ningning said.

“Also, don’t let others you have the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes on you,” Ningning cautioned.

Yang Dingtian nodded, but he was still in great shock.

The Naga were the ultimate secret in this world!

For the past several thousand years, countless people have yearned for them, but no one ended up finding them.

Yang Dingtian had read the relevant records and materials.

Dragons were the supreme guardians of the entire Chaotic Mainland. They were also known as Dragon Titans.

In all the records, even ones from ancient times, dragons had already vanished. There were only species that were closely related to dragons left. But, species closely related to dragons were all already extremely strong. The Naga were creatures that were the most closely related to dragons. After all, they were the descendants of dragons and sea snakes. Before they evolved into human form, they looked like a snake-dragon hybrid. They looked pretentious, horrible, domineering, and cold-blooded.

In short, the Naga could be called the most powerful species in the world.

More than ten thousand years ago, Xuwu Piaoyan had wanted to save the world. The first people he looked to cooperate with were the Naga. However, Yang Dingtian didn’t know if he managed to find them. This secret would only be revealed to him once he reached the second stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship.

“This is skin shed by a female Naga, so it might be a very tight fit for you. You have to take your shirt off first so I can help you to put it on.”

“Only clothes right? What about pants?” Yang Dingtian asked. For him, taking off his shirt was already his limit because he did not want to take off his pants in front of her.

“They are pants, but I’m wearing them. I can’t take them off,” Ximen Ningning said in a low voice, her face already red like blood.

He had no choice but to take off his clothes. With Ximen Ningning’s help, they dressed him in the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes inch-by-inch with great difficulty.

Ximen Ningning probably had never touched a man, nor had she ever seen a man’s naked body. As such, her whole face was exactly like a red cloth. She kept panting and exhaling on Yang Dingtian’s chest. Yang Dingtian could almost hear the sound of her heartbeat.

Of course, Yang Dingtian felt similarly because, after all, a woman’s slim hands kept touching his naked body.

After putting on the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, Yang Dingtian could barely feel its existence. It felt like just another layer of his own skin. He then put on his own clothes.

Ximen Ningning took Yang Dingtian to the balcony outside. She then shouted gently into the air, “Ray Ray, come over here. I’m looking for you.”

After a while, a gorgeous shadow flew out from the top of the cave. It flew tremendously fast and beautifully. Soon, it arrived in front of Yang Dingtian, floating in the air and gently flapping its wings.

A beautiful ride. Yang Dingtian had never seen one before. Its slender body was formed an elegant S shape. Bright, soft wings covered it from head to tail. The wings on its upper body were the widest, gradually shrinking as you moved down its tail. The wings were also shaped into beautiful curves.

Yang Dingtian had never seen such a beautiful flying beast. Apparently, this one was very rare.

“This is Floating Ray. It can fly quickly and stably. What’s more, it is very docile.” Ximen Ningning used her hand to caress the Floating Ray’s head. Its head was so small compared to its wings. However, it had a pair of big eyes and a tender mouth, which made it look adorable.

“You bring this brother to the Red Wilderness. Listen to him, okay?” Ximen Ningning was caressing its head while talking gently beside its ears.

Floating Ray enjoyed the caresses immensely. It squinted its big eyes and rubbed affectionately against Ximen Ningning. The sounds it made sounded like that of a pampered child.

Ximen Ningning stopped caressing, and the adorable Floating Ray slowly flew down. It hovered around a foot above the ground and yelped at Yang Dingtian, signaling him to get on.

Yang Dingtian gently jumped onto Floating Ray’s back. He then said, “Thank you, Ray Ray.”

He waved to Ximen Ningning. “See you!”

Ximen Ningning lightly leaned over the fence on the balcony and waved back. “Goodbye. Be careful. Please be extra careful.”

Then, Floating Ray carried Yang Dingtian away towards the Red Wilderness that was a hundred miles away.

Red Wilderness was located around a hundred miles northwest of Cloud Sky City. Floating Ray flew very quickly. In less than half an hour, they arrived above the Red Wilderness.

Yang Dingtian sat atop Floating Ray. The Red Wilderness appeared to be endless when viewed from above. Numerous red cracks cut across the whole land. Blood-colored magma could be seen floating through the crevices, never solidifying. Even the land here was blood red.

The entire Red Wilderness stretched about four hundred miles in each direction. There was a huge volcano at the center. During the period of Great Nirvana, the volcano had erupted, causing the surrounding hundreds of miles to crack. The magma fell into the cracks and formed the Red Wilderness that existed to this day. There was a very strong fire-type Xuan energy in the magma, which was why countless fire-type beasts lived there.

(Editor Note: The Great Nirvana is the calamity that destroyed the world ten thousand years ago)

Looking down from above, other than the countless cracks, there were five huge, square cracks radiating outwards from the big volcano. The square cracks divided the hundred thousand square miles of the Red Wilderness into sections. The Xuan energy was stronger and the level of beasts was higher the closer one got to the volcano.

Floating Ray landed on the outermost periphery of the Red Wilderness. Yang Dingtian jumped off and entered the Red Wilderness. Floating Ray then screamed in the sky and flew back towards Cloud Sky City. It will return to fetch him in the evening.

Stepping on the red land, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt very hot. The Xuan energy here was much richer than in Cloud Sky City. However, the Xuan energy here could not be refined because there was a strong Fire Poison inside. The Xuan veins would burn and the cultivator would die if refining was attempted.

Here in the outermost layer of the Red Wilderness, the beasts were relatively lower in level.

On a map, the outermost layer covered about thirty thousand square miles. From his vantage point, Yang Dingtian could only see high and low undulating mountains. Most of the area was barren of plant life. There were only a few strange plants in remote locations.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and drew his sword.

Danger was already present. At the moment, in the entire wilderness, there was only him and countless beasts. They were hiding inside the caves.

Yang Dingtian knew that the most dangerous places in the Red Wilderness were the deep caves found throughout. Slightly safer were the stone mountains and hills. The safest place was on the open ground. Therefore, Yang Dingtian stayed away from caves and stone mountains, walking carefully along the flat ground deeper and deeper into the Red Wilderness.

Although he had pills and the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, he was only an Enlightener after all. He was absolutely in danger if he stayed here too long. The Deep Sea Xuan Clothes couldn’t protect his head and limbs. Any low-level beast could easily kill him.

Yang Dingtian only realized his insanity at this point. It could be said that he was solo wandering the dangerous Red Wilderness without any Xuan energy.

He slowly walked forward. His nerves were very tense, and every hair on his body was raised. He even tried to avoid touching the bushes while he was walking.

The surroundings were absolutely silent. There weren’t even bug sounds. It felt like a deadly crisis was lurking behind every corner.

Yang Dingtian walked for about ten minutes and was now two to three miles further into the Red Wilderness. However, he still hadn’t encountered any beasts or any other living creatures. He couldn’t help but become a little anxious. Yes, he would be absolutely safe if there were no beasts around, but then he also wouldn’t be able to acquire any demon nuclei.

“Eh? What is that?” Yang Dingtian suddenly noticed something shining in front. There was a flame burning in the crack of the stone mountain in front.

Moving forward, he found that it wasn’t a flame but rather a red and black stone. It only looked like fire from far away.

“Eh? Master, what is this?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Ah…” Dong Fang Nie Mie was surprised. “No way, you’re just too lucky. This is just your first step in your adventures and you’ve already found this precious item in this low-level beast wilderness. Others have traveled a thousand miles without finding one.”

Hearing his Master, Yang Dingtian became even more curious. “So, what is it?”

“It’s Bloody Black Gold. It was recently exposed by the cracking of this boulder. Otherwise, it would have been taken away already.”

“Ah! Bloody Black Gold. The one used to forge Sword Souls?” Yang Dingtian asked incredulously.

Bloody Black Gold was the best material for forging not only Sword Souls but also any other top-class weapons.

However, the most valuable aspect of Bloody Black Gold was that it was a unique ingredient used to forge Sword Souls.

The minimum number needed to forge a Yang Sword Soul was ninety-nine pieces of Bloody Black Gold. A warrior needed to travel all over the world. It took years, even dozens of years, to dig up enough Bloody Black Gold. Thus, a piece of Bloody Black Gold was actually worth more than a million gold coins.

Yang Dingtian just arrived at a trial wilderness and immediately found a piece from a crack in a boulder. Lucky was not enough to describe his fortunes anymore. It was if God were telling him to continue learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship.

“Son, let me ask you one more time. Have you already decided to cultivate a Sword Soul? This is the most difficult road in the world. There are only three people in this world who have successfully cultivated Sword Soul. Even Zhu Qingzhu, the current strongest person in the world, doesn’t have one.”

Yang Dingtian looked at the Bloody Black Gold and said, “I’ve already decided. What’s more, you said that Dongfang Bingling is also cultivating it and had even forged a young sword. If I’m not able to forge a Sword Soul, then I will never be able to defeat her.”

(Note: Young sword is the initial stage of Sword Soul with no vitality.)

Sword Soul, the king of all martial souls. An ordinary martial soul was just refined from beasts. The resulting energy of the martial soul would not exceed half of the original beast’s.

For a Sword Soul, it could grow forever and become a strong partner in battle. Ximen Wuya’s Sword Soul was only in the growing stage, but it was powerful enough to defeat one of the Grandmasters in the Yin Yang Sect, Ning Busi. If he hadn’t been cut down by Zhu Qingzhu, with his Sword Soul, Ximen Wuya would have been completely invincible after ten years.

“Well, I had taken many shortcuts when cultivating my own Sword Soul. I won’t let you take any shortcuts,” Dongfang Nie Mie declared. “The first step in cultivating a powerful Sword Soul is to build yourself a peerless sword. To forge a peerless sword, you need to dig this Bloody Black Gold out by yourself!”

Yang Dingtian took out a dagger and proceeded to dig out the Bloody Black Gold.

The dagger was stabbed into the gap of the boulder, and then, Yang Dingtian pressed hard.

“Souuu…” Immediately, a spark flashed in front of him, and a stinging heat almost burned his eyes.

A fiery-red giant wolf shot out from the mountain. It opened its bloody mouth and aimed it at Yang Dingtian’s neck. Its speed was as fast as lightning!

This was a Fiery Demon Wolf. It was a fire-type beast, cruel and bloodthirsty.
