CHAPTER 604 DEEP VALLEY (PART TWO)
With the inspiration provided by such outlook, Darren flew fast in the sky and used his spiritual sense to
explore.
Many people who owned stalwart talents of martial artists, and myriads of variant beasts were
scattered across the Medium Spiritual World. Knowing that fact, Darren naturally wanted to find
opportunities to improve his talent.
After flying steadily for three days and nights, a deep valley separated from the world caught Darren's
attention. The valley was dark and mysterious. With the aid of his spiritual sense, he faintly felt that
there were many powerful creatures along the valley.
As a feast for a famished man, those powerful creatures were undoubtedly a treasure for Darren. He
had seen an opportunity for him to assimilate their powers somehow and advanced his level.
Thus, wasting no time, Darren dashed into the deep valley. He didn't mind the darkness nor the eerie
ambiance at all. His mind, as well as his heart, was focused on throwing himself on the pool of
overflowing powers.
As a loud thud was heard when Darren landed on firm ground, a deep, raspy, and grotesque roar
reverberated across the valley. Many of red eyes that appeared to be vile and malevolent looked at him
occasionally.
"This place is a blessing in disguise. There are plenty of four-star and five-star variant beasts that just
roam around, pristine and untapped," gawked Darren at the sight of sources of power for him.
What hyped him more was Darren found more than five thousand variant beasts in the deep valley, and
none of them was weak. He thought he would make use of all of his time to assimilate as much as he
could and would not allow a single beast to go astray.
Although the varieties of the beasts did not possess powerful talents, there were a lot of them.
Accumulating all the minute talents each beast could offer would eventually add up to something
massive, and Darren was with all hopes for that.
Soon enough, Darren made up his mind and started his hunting and assimilating tasks. He carefully
chose one beast and taking careful steps not to startle and frighten it, Darren went straight to the beast.
One beast after the other, Darren's powerful blade and sword intents kept stirring violently in the valley.
Wherever it passed, there was nothing but blood.
"Assimilate!"
Swooping from one point to another, Darren dashed forward as he assimilated the talents that popped
out from each slaughtered beast.
Doing the process for several hours, all of the variant beasts he could find laid lifeless on the ground.
On the spur of the moment, not a single beast could be found loitering around the valley.
"The seventh level of the Heaven Degree! Here I come!" Darren shouted, triumphantly.
In just a matter of several hours, Darren's talent had a qualitative change after he finished assimilating
powers from more than a thousand of variant beasts.
Yet, he wasn't satisfied with all those powers that he had obtained. Darren was determined to absorb
more and enhance his cultivation faster and better. Thus, Darren tried to absorb the spiritual energy of
heaven and earth by his talent. It turned out to be effective that his absorbing speed was dozens of
times faster than before.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into Darren's body like a deep river—turbulent and
overflowing.
Although the quality of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far inferior to that of the spiritual
crystals, it was still useful for Darren. In fact, he was so overwhelmed that there was so much of it for
him to handle.
"Oh, this feels so great. Probably, after eight years of cultivation, I'm sure I can reach the five-star
Grand Realm."
On the back of his mind, Darren calculated secretly. Yet, he thought that he still needed to add his
speed of assimilating the spiritual energy of the cardiac cores.
In the span of eight years, it had been a frightening speed for him from the top level of four-star Grand
Realm to the five-star Grand Realm.
For people below the Heaven Degree talent, they probably wouldn't be able to do that in tens of
thousands of years, while for people at the level two or level three of the Heaven Degree, they would
more or less need thousands of years.
Taking those things into account, Darren headed deeper into the valley after he killed the variant beasts
because he had a vague feeling that there was something more powerful inside.
"What's this?"
From the corner of his eyes, Darren saw a plant with green light, and he plucked it out.
Without hesitation, Darren tried to absorb it, and a serene aura immediately spread all over his body.
Consequently, every pore on his skin felt extremely comfortable as an aftermath of absorbing that plant
with a green light.
A few minutes after assimilating the plant, Darren surprisingly cleared out a lot of impurities in his body,
which shocked him at the very least.
Why? What just happened to him?
Darren already had a very powerful body. Even an ordinary seven-star warrior couldn't easily hurt him,
now that he was cleansed and freed from impurities. It could be said that Darren's body was the best
among the four-star grand warriors, comparable to the shape of a top-level of a seven-star grand
warrior.
'Did this mean that such a strong body could even remove impurities after absorbing this plant?' Darren
asked himself.
"It meant that this plant was the supreme magic herb for marrow refining! Or it was the precious
treasure beyond magic herb!
It's really precious. If I absorb a large number of these plants, my body will be much stronger!"
exclaimed Darren. Belongs © to .
With such realization, Darren began searching for the plant again. But after flying for a long time, he
still couldn't find another stem of it rooted on the ground.
But he didn't stop and kept flying deep into the valley. He even scurried high and low in search of the
stray plant.
The further he went, the darker it got at the crease of the valley. Strangely, while he was in the valley,
Darren felt that his spiritual sense was suppressed a lot, so he could only sense about a kilometer
around at most.
"Why do I sense a dangerous aura?"
As Darren suddenly felt a chill down his spine, he had a strange feeling that something was staring at
him.
With his increased strength and heightened sensitivity, he would never have this kind of feeling without
any reason.
Thus, taking an extra ounce of caution, Darren slowed down and became very vigilant.
