"Where am I?" Wu Tian slowly regained consciousness. Looking around, it was pitch black as if he was in the universe. Suddenly, Wu Tian realized that he had no body? This made him feel like he had fallen into a deep abyss. He had just debuted not long ago and now he was dead. How pitiful he was. Saddened, Wu Tian did not notice the faint white light drifting beneath him. Gradually, he pulled himself out of his sorrow. Anyway, he was already dead. What was the point of being sad? He might as well go to the Naihe Bridge to drink that soup and reincarnate as soon as possible.

However, apart from darkness, there was only darkness around him, which made Wu Tian feel strange. Wasn't there supposed to be a hell as people said after death?

Then Wu Tian soon discovered the white light beneath him. After all, a hint of white light was still dazzling in the darkness.

His consciousness approached and touched the white light, and a feeling from the soul was felt in Wu Tian's consciousness. Was this his own?

Wu Tian was very puzzled. Did this white light come from himself? Why didn't he know? Then he gradually realized that the white light was gathering.

A bright white point slowly enlarged at the edge of Wu Tian's consciousness. When it gathered to about 10 centimeters, the white dot dissipated, revealing a baby surrounded by water patterns.

Oh my God, is this Yuanying? What... what is going on? Why didn't he feel this Yuanying? The little Yuanying spun around Wu Tian's consciousness and a spiritual force was transmitted.

"You're so stupid..."

Wu Tian was surprised by the sudden appearance of the voice. "Who... who... who?" he looked around and gradually focused his gaze on the little Yuanying in front of his consciousness.

"Is it you who's talking to me?" Wu Tian asked curiously.

"Yes..." the mischievous little Yuanying said.

"Why do you say I'm stupid? Who are you? And where am I? Do you know, little friend?" Wu Tian asked kindly.

"It's in your consciousness. I'm the essence of the Water Spirit that you absorbed. Did you really think you were dead? That's why I said you're so foolish. Now I can sense your thoughts... hehe..."

The little creature happily spoke while hovering around.

"Huh...? You can read my thoughts? No way! So you'll know everything I think from now on?"

"Of course not. It's your unconscious thoughts. Since you're injured and haven't closed your mind actively, that's why I know."

"Oh, I see. I thought you'd know everything about me from now on. You're a Water Spirit? How did you end up like this? I remember my master said that I absorbed the Water Spirit and sealed you away. During the Tribulation period, my master warned me not to break the seal, or else he would chase me across more than 400 planets."

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"That darn guy chased me across so many planets, forcing me to flee everywhere. I don't have the ability to break his seal, but he placed three layers of seal on me. Just now, during the battle, your magic weapon absorbed the first layer of seal, allowing me to appear in my true form. I still have two layers of seal left."

"No wonder I could release the Hundred Demons Sword back then, and I was wondering why. Oh, right! My master said that if you appeared, you would burst me. So, it's better if you don't come out until I have the same ability as my master."

"... You're so afraid of death." The Water Spirit directly scorned Wu Tian. "All of my energy has been sealed by your master, and some of it has been absorbed by you. I can't use my energy anymore. How can I harm you in the future?"

"Oh... that's great! I was worried that I might absorb you after the seal was broken. I really don't want that to happen. From now on, little one, we'll be together. I'll treat you to delicious food, spicy food, and so on."

Just as Wu Tian was about to coax the "underage baby spirit"...

"Your body has been repaired. When you wake up, I'll live in your dantian from now on. Without energy, I can't leave."

"Haha, that's great. You've been chased by my master across so many planets, and you're still fine. If I hadn't bumped into you in the end, you might have been... it seems like you're good at escaping. You have to teach me in the future. I'll call you Little Water from now on."

Water Spirit: ...

After Xiaoshui informed Wu Tian that his body had been repaired, he was very happy and emerged from his consciousness. Opening his eyes, he saw a pitch-black sky full of stars, a typical night for cultivators without any impact. Looking around, he found himself at the site of the battle, covered in dust, not knowing how long he had been unconscious. Upon inspecting his body, he found that the nebula in his dantian was operating normally, and his meridians had been widened. He also found that his cultivation had unexpectedly advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, his true essence had become much purer, and his injuries had fully healed. A powerful explosive force was flowing through his body.

Wu Tian stood up, his bones cracking. He circulated his true essence to remove the dust from his body, and his eyes shone brightly. He used to be able to see objects one kilometer away, but now he could see at least two kilometers. This was the benefit of improving his realm and cultivation.

With his slow but steady increase in strength, Wu Tian knew that he would have a wonderful life.

He turned and headed back to the location where the Five-Colored Golden Bull King had exploded. Wu Tian knew that the king must have died, as he had been taught the Heart Sword technique by his master, which was a secret technique of the Tianyan Sect that could at least match the full power of a late Yuan Ying stage cultivator.

He believed that the defense of the Five-Colored Golden Bull King at the early Golden Core stage could not withstand his Heart Sword.

As Wu Tian rushed to the center of the explosion, he saw a deep pit one hundred meters in diameter. The body of the Five-Colored Golden Bull King was nowhere to be found. Wu Tian felt a little depressed as he had not obtained the king's inner core, which possessed powerful spiritual power comparable to his own Golden Core.

Wu Tian left the area and continued to move forward. He wanted to find a place to familiarize himself with his spell attacks and learn more about formations. His master had said that formations were a powerful cultivation technique, and the Tianyan Sect had many powerful formations.

After traveling for more than twenty kilometers, Wu Tian suddenly felt his heart racing. Oh my god, what was that in front of him?

Smoke? ... It was fireworks. He had finally encountered intelligent creatures. Wu Tian didn't know if he would meet other cultivators, but at least the creatures that could create fireworks wouldn't be the monsters that only knew how to fight.

He quickly flew towards the target. However, what he saw was...
