However, Ling Xiao never felt complacency or slackness deep in his heart. He knew very well that the road to cultivation was long and arduous, and only by moving forward could he maintain his continuous strength and not be killed by a sudden powerful enemy at some point.

For him, every battle and breakthrough is just a stepping stone to a stronger road. He will not stop moving forward, nor will he be satisfied with the status quo.

Regardless of whether he can challenge him higher than the level, he regards improving his realm as his primary priority, because only by constantly improving his realm can he always occupy a place in this world of strong people.

The realm of heaven is a state that makes people yearn for. It is said that if you enter this realm, you can reach the sky and the earth and truly understand the laws and mysteries between heaven and earth.

Whenever he thought of this, Ling Xiao would calm down and immerse himself in the surrounding environment, quietly feeling everything around him. He seemed to be able to hear the breath of the wind, see the flow of light, and even perceive the subtle changes hidden in the void.

At this moment, he was on the floating ship, and everything around him seemed so quiet and peaceful. The entire floating ship seemed to be shrouded in an invisible layer of power, becoming quiet, and even a trace of wind could not be heard.

Ling Xiao sat quietly at the bow of the ship, his eyes closed slightly, but his mind had already floated to the distant sky. He seemed to be having some mysterious communication with this world, trying to draw more strength and wisdom from it.

...

In a hidden place quite far away from the floating ship, a middle-aged man was carefully hiding in the shadows. His eyes were as sharp as eagles and falcons, staring at the giant ship floating in the air.

He knew very well that he could not get too close, because Ling Xiao's strength was unfathomable, and once discovered by the other party, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Recalling the tragic experience of his companions before, a chill broke out in his heart. That time, their group originally planned to sneak into the Demon Soul Beast Village to find out the information, but unexpectedly they were attacked by the statue guarding the village.

The statue seemed to have life, releasing a suffocating pressure, and instantly killed his companions invisibly. Since then, he has reported this matter to the superior truthfully and received an order to continue to monitor Ling Xiao but not to act rashly.

He knew the arduousness and danger of this task, and if he was not careful, he might take his life. Therefore, he always maintained a high level of vigilance, fearing that a little negligence would cause a murder.

Whenever it was late at night, he would always feel an indescribable fear and loneliness, as if he was the only one left in the whole world, wandering in this endless darkness.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill, as if something was peeking at him in the dark.

He turned around suddenly, his eyes swept around like a torch, but there was nothing but darkness and silence. His heart beat instantly, and the cold sweat on his forehead was raining down, and an indescribable sense of fear surged into his heart.

"I'm scared~ myself~!"

He secretly blamed himself, trying to use this sentence to soothe the beating heart. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and slowly wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. Although he knew that this was just a false alarm, the feeling of being shrouded in unknown fear made him unable to calm down for a long time.

However, at this moment, a sudden strange laugh broke the silence around. The laughter was sharp and weird, like the cry of a night owl in the night, making people feel chilled.

"Cannon..." The laughter echoed in the night sky, with an indescribable evil and joke.

Immediately afterwards, a vague figure seemed to emerge from the void and appeared quietly behind the man. This figure was like a ghost in the night, silently, but with a heart-pounding sense of oppression.

The man was frightened by the sudden figure, and his hair stood up all over his body. He almost immediately pulled out the weapon on his waist, which was a long sword with a flash of cold light. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, revealing his inner tension and anxiety.

He looked at the shadow coldly, his voice low and powerful: "Who?"

The black shadow did not answer immediately, but continued to make a creepy and weird laugh, as if enjoying the pleasure of playing with others in his palms.

"I didn't expect that the priest of the Divine Spirit Temple would secretly follow an inconspicuous person in this dark night." The black shadow's voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell, carrying an indescribable evil and ridicule.

When the man heard this, his face turned pale in an instant. He looked at the black shadow coldly and shouted angrily: "Where did you come from the slut! How dare you pretend to be a god and a ghost here, trying to scare me!" His voice echoed in the night sky, with an unquestionable majesty and anger.

The sound fell, and the sword in his hand suddenly swung, turning into a silver lightning, slashing hard towards the position where the black shadow was. He almost used all his strength to this blow. Wherever the tip of the sword passed, the air seemed to be split into two, making a harsh tearing sound.

Boom! With a loud bang, the space where the black shadow is located instantly collapsed, as if it was torn apart by an invisible force. The scattered gravel and dust drew strange arcs in the night sky.

I'll see the wrong version one by one!

However, just when the man thought he had hit the target and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the black shadow appeared again like a ghost, not far behind him, still in that vague and strange appearance, as if he had not suffered any damage at all.

The man's brows frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He slowly clasped the weapon in his right hand, his eyes as if he was torched, staring at the black shadow, his whole body tense, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

The black shadow laughed, with a bit of arrogance and disdain in the laughter, "Want to kill me? Humph, unless your noble Lord, who is above and above, will you, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, still want to take my life? It's such a fool! Of course, I can't kill you either, we are each other."

The man still had no expression on his face, as if he was not concerned about the provocation of the black shadow, but just said coldly: "Your purpose is also for that Lingxiao?" His voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing this, the black shadow curled a playful smile on his lips, "Nonsense! If it weren't for the legendary treasure, I was full, what would I do to follow a young boy?"

The man glanced at the black shadow indifferently, his voice still calm as water: "He is on the floating ship below, and the strength of the martial soul realm is just like an ant to you. If you take action, you can completely instantly him. Why not to seize that treasure?"
