Moria smiled as he watched Qiang Feng retching on the ground. "Haha, good, take your time. Killing for the first time is not easy," she said.

Qiang Feng wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his face pale. "I know," he replied. "But I had to do it. They were going to ambush and kill my family. I had no choice."

Moria nodded in agreement. "Yes, you did what you had to do. And you did it well. But remember, killing should never be taken lightly. It's a heavy burden to carry."

Qiang Feng nodded, his expression serious. "I understand. I won't forget what you've said. But for now, we need to focus on finding and stopping the ones who ordered this attack on my family."

Upon hearing this, Moria smiled and remarked, "I see you're already eager for revenge. But think about it, the person you just killed was an enlightenment stage expert. How strong do you think the person who sent him is?"

Qiang Feng thought about Moria's words and realized that he still had a lot to learn and grow stronger. He knew that he was not yet ready to face higher-level enlightenment stage experts. So, he decided to leave it at this and continue his journey, focusing on improving his skills and abilities. He took a deep breath, wiped the blood from his sword.

Qiang Feng packed up his belongings and set out on his journey, leaving the forest behind him. He walked tirelessly for days, his mind focused on the path ahead. The scenery around him changed as he went from dense forests to open fields and rugged mountains. He faced many challenges along the way, from harsh weather to treacherous terrain, but he persevered.

As he walked, Qiang Feng reflected on the lessons he had learned in the forest. He had faced his fears and overcome them, honed his skills, and discovered his true potential. Now, he was ready to take on whatever the world had in store for him.

Finally, after a week of traveling, Qiang Feng reached the end of the forest. He stood at the edge of a vast plain, stretching out as far as the eye could see. He took a deep breath, feeling a sense of exhilaration and freedom wash over him. Then Qiang Feng realized that he still had a long way to go before reaching the Seven Stars City. Two more continents stood in his way, and the journey alone could take him up to a year. The thought of such a long and arduous journey left him feeling frustrated.

Qiang Feng took out the map and studied it closely, trying to figure out the right direction. As he examined the map, and read the notes on it, he felt a sense of unease settling in the pit of his stomach. "What is this?" he muttered to himself. "The first continent is barren and has no actual human faction? That's not good news." He paused for a moment, his mind racing as he considered the implications. "This is the destination of many criminals and demonic cultivators, and they aren't weak either. At any point, while traveling there, I could stumble upon a Divine Sea expert or a powerful beast. This journey is going to be even more challenging than I thought."

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Despite his words, Qiang Feng felt a tingle of excitement coursing through him. The truth was, he loved exploring and discovering new things. But as he reflected, he realized that he also enjoyed the thrill of battle. The adrenaline rush of fighting for his life and coming out victorious was something that he found invigorating.

The vast forest and the nearby continent were divided by a natural barrier - a steep wall with an altitude of nearly 3km. Anyone coming from the continent and attempting to enter the forest would have to climb this wall to reach the other side.

But Qiang Feng who was already in the forest side, he has to descend it which proved to be more difficult.

Qiang Feng continued his descent down the wall, the terrain becoming increasingly treacherous as he went. After a few hours, he felt his muscles straining with the effort of keeping himself steady. Just as he thought he couldn't go on any longer, he spotted a small cave in the distance. Grateful for the reprieve, he made his way to the cave and stepped inside. The cool air and shelter from the harsh sun were a welcome relief, and he decided to rest there for a while. Sitting down on the damp ground, he took a sip of water from his canteen and closed his eyes, allowing himself to relax and recover from the grueling descent.

"Halfway there," Qiang Feng muttered to himself as he peered down the steep drop. He briefly considered just jumping the rest of the way, but quickly dismissed the idea. "I could, but why take unnecessary risks? Even though my injuries will heal, I don't want to feel the pain if I don't have to," he reasoned, choosing to continue his slow and steady descent down the natural wall.

Moria, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up, "You should probably watch out."

"Watch out for what?" Qiang Feng began to ask, but before he could finish, something massive flew towards him at a tremendous speed. The object grabbed onto his clothes and lifted him up, carrying him towards the direction of the continent.

"Wh-what the hell is happening?!" Qiang Feng exclaimed in shock, looking down at the ground below him as it rapidly disappeared from view.

Moria reassured him, "Relax, it won't kill you. It probably just wants to take you as far away from that cave as possible. It laid its eggs there." Feeling unsure of what to say, Qiang Feng asked, "When is it going to let me go?" Moria thought for a moment before replying, "In about... now." As he spoke, the bird released Qiang Feng and flew back towards its cave.

Qiang Feng cried out in shock as he fell from the bird's grasp, "What the hell! What should I do?" Moria reassured him, "Don't worry, you won't die." Qiang retorted, "Should I be happy about that?" Moria tried to find a positive spin, "Look on the bright side. You just crossed all that distance in an instant. It's worth a whole month's worth of travel that you won't have to endure, and you only paid the price of a few injuries "

As he neared the ground, Qiang Feng cried out for help, "You bastard, help me!" This was the first time he had ever cursed at Moria. "Oh, you're cursing me now? Maybe I shouldn't tell you to activate your body constitution if you want to survive," Moria said jokingly. "Crazy bastard," Qiang Feng didn't have time to curse him a second time, as he quickly activated his body constitution and crashed onto the ground.
