If it weren't for Yu Ziqing shielding him from most of the harm, protecting all his vital points, he would likely have been in a much worse state.
The two exchanged just a few words when everything around them, like a fleeting dream, silently vanished.
The destroyed mountains and trees all returned to their original state.
Everything began anew.
Only King Xiang's injuries remained unchanged, with no signs of recovery.
After resting for several hours, the True Yuan in King Xiang's body returned to normal. He swallowed a pill, changed into fresh clothes, and finally restored his initial appearance.
On the way back to Jiayin City, King Xiang stayed silent for quite so ti before suddenly uttering a sentence.
"When I was young, I always believed that if my father hadn't chosen the path of Body Cultivation, he wouldn't have fallen prey to the Devil, ending up in a fate worse than death.
So, I chose Qi Refinent, avoiding the path my father took."
"Do you think you were wrong when you were young?" Yu Ziqing casually asked.
"I was wrong. Whether my father practiced Body Refinent or Qi Refinent, he might have fallen into treacherous hands.
If he had pursued Qi Refinent cultivation, he might have died completely already, whereas Body Refinent gave him a sliver of life.
I oversimplified the issue when I was young, but unfortunately, there wasn't a chance for regret later on."
King Xiang was sowhat silent.
Yu Ziqing thought that perhaps he was considering that if he had followed his father's path of Body Refinent, he might have already smashed that teor with his own strength by now.
Yu Ziqing also pondered that if he had brought the village chief, the village chief's full-strength strike might have shattered that teor.
Moreover, he had another thought.
It seed like all the cave heaven blessed lands he had heard of and encountered contained Alien Power seemingly targeting Qi Refining cultivators.
Now, even the Alien Power within a teor from the heavens targeted Qi Refining cultivators.
Having seen so much, he thought this seed odd.
He had a feeling that there was a deliberate intent behind it all.
He planned to ask Yang upon his return or perhaps conduct so research himself.
Back in Jiayin City, after finding Xu Yang and securing free lodging, King Xiang retreated into his room for solitude.
No one knew if he was researching how to unleash his power if restricted and how to protect himself.
Yu Ziqing didn't tell him they could leave now.
In fact, they didn't have to manage this catastrophe, nor did they need to resolve it.
Yu Ziqing didn't intend to leave because he had his sights set on that teor.
He wanted to bring the teor back to Jinlan Mountain.
Currently, Jinlan Mountain, no matter how strict, fundantally only had Yang, who barely practiced Qi Refinent.
The rest were either not human or solely pursued Body Cultivation. Even Qingqing was treading the path of a hard-working ascetic.
Yang wasn't actually human anymore; his cultivation integrated Demon Qi and Evil Qi, and ever since Dragon Transformation, it seed he had even surpassed Demon Qi.
With this prerequisite, Yu Ziqing would have been remiss if he didn't consider bringing the teor ho.
Once he brought back the materials, he would see if they could be used as array materials to enclose the entire forbidden land of Jinlan Mountain.
Yu Ziqing had been troubled by one thing: Jinlan Mountain was entirely populated by Body Cultivators. What if a powerful expert, flying over without entering Jinlan Mountain, attacked them from above?
Now there was a solution.
Even if the teor's materials couldn't be used as array materials, they could be arranged around Jinlan Mountain, especially in the high sky.
In the future, if anyone flew over Jinlan Mountain and crashed to their demise, they would pay the price.
If he were more ruthless, he could place it directly in the Gang Wind Layer, making those who spied on them from above fall into it, eting their end.
This was the main reason Yu Ziqing insisted on securing the teor—otherwise, he knew he would lose sleep with regret in the future.
He had never heard of materials possessing such Alien Power.
The next teor would not fall for so ti, so Yu Ziqing started various preparations.
King Xiang claid that the teor, when it first appeared, was ten miles wide before being refined to only one mile.
The size difference in between was about two or three thousand tis.
At the beginning, it should not have been hard; it would be easy to dig.
While preparing various mining tools, Yu Ziqing continued practicing the Jinlan Secret thod.
In the blink of an eye, over a month passed, and the ti for the teor to descend drew near.
Yu Ziqing was ready with his full equipnt, setting off alongside King Xiang and Xu Yang.
Led by King Xiang, they passed through the Gang Wind Layer, reaching above the nine heavens—a cold, desolate place, particularly during the night. The Gang Wind of the layers was like visible blades, shredding everything inside.
The mont the teor barely crossed the boundary, King Xiang hurled Yu Ziqing toward it, and he began accumulating power to strike with all his might.
Just as Yu Ziqing landed on the teor's vast surface, he imdiately sensed a terrifying Alien Power enveloping him. At that mont, he realized even attempting Qi Refinent was impossible, as the suppression was several levels stronger than the Alien Power in Jinlan Mountain.
King Xiang's full-force strike left a mile-deep hole on the teor's surface, and his body plunged downward.
After falling so distance, one of his Magical Treasures automatically activated, allowing his body to float there, avoiding a plumt into the Gang Wind Layer.
