_3 The grandeur of his presence was expansive, and though his pace was neither hurried nor slow, with each stride, he could cover several meters.

His square, firm face was tranquil as still water, yet worry lurked in his expression.

The rich aroma of meat wafted across the plains.

A terrifyingly large beast leg was impaled on a steel spear, roasting over the fire.

Droplets of fat hissed as they fell into the flames.

Watching as the pig’s skin turned golden brown, Zong Shou carefully brushed another layer of sesame oil and sprinkled herbs over it, intensifying the tantalizing scent of the meat.

The massive Wild Toothed Pig, weighing over four tons, was divided into several portions.

At least half of it went to feeding a nearby Stepping Cloud Colt, also known as the Horned Cloud Horse, who relished the meal mixed with yellow bean fodder.

Only three legs remained.

Aside from the one currently roasting, Yiin Yang and Su Chuxue each took a leg, eating with greasy mouths.

The former ate with some semblance of elegance, while the latter completely disregarded her image.

She chewed voraciously as if she would swallow the bones too.

All the while, she gazed admiringly at Zong Shou.

“Delicious!

Glug!

So tasty!

Young Master’s roasting skills have improved a lot compared to before—”

The voice was muffled, and one had to pay close attention to make out the words.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile.

Chuxue was his maid, born of the Tiger Cat tribe and part of the demon clan.

Though beautifully featured, she was naturally greedy for food and restless.

She seemed demure and graceful as if she were a lady from a distinguished family, but she could hardly sit still for a moment.

Especially when it came to eating, she always surprised others.

Her name might be Su Chuxue, but apart from her skin’s fairness, which was as pure as the first snow, everything else about her temperament and character was far from that name’s implications.

As for the so-called demon clan, according to later records, they were descendants of ancient humans who, to combat the rampaging Alien Barbaric Beasts, integrated the blood of powerful mutant beasts into themselves to enhance their combat power.

However, when that tragic era ended, these people were shunned by humanity.

They formed their own clan, which is the origin of the so-called demon clan.

Ten thousand years later, this group had nearly gone extinct.

Zong Shou had only encountered them in games.

Using the dagger in his hand, he casually cut off a piece of roast meat and ate it with leisure.

Zong Shou’s gaze then inadvertently drifted back to the carriage nearby.

“Uncle Yiin, the formidable enemy is still lurking near us.

Isn’t it a bit improper for us to be lighting a fire and halting here?”

Having stayed in the carriage for seven days, Zong Shou had not personally seen Yiin Yang Chuxue fight others.

However, the scars on both sides of the carriage were all fresh.

Numerous holes had nearly pierced through the iron plating of the carriage walls.

In some places, even bloodstains could be seen, chilling to the observers.

It was evident that before his arrival in this world, he must have gone through a perilous ordeal.

In the past two days, the two often ventured far on the pretext of hunting, but each time they returned, they carried a strong scent of blood—not from beasts, but from humans they had slain.

At his words, Yiin Yang clearly paused, then nonchalantly continued eating his meat, his voice cold, “Please, Princely Heir, be at ease.

Within six hundred miles, we have already cleared the area.

There are only hawks and eagles following us day and night.

Whether we light a fire is of no consequence.

Both Chuxue and I need some time to recuperate—”

Zong Shou looked upward and indeed saw several tiny black dots weaving through the clouds.

His heart sank once more; with these ‘eyes’ in the sky, the enemy could monitor their movements as easily as the palm of their hand.

Moreover, given how conspicuous this carriage was, trying to conceal their tracks was utterly impossible.

It seemed they were indeed in the presence of a great enemy, teetering on the brink of danger.

What concerned him further was Yiin Yang’s use of the title for him.

Chuxue called him Young Master, but Yiin Yang addressed him as Princely Heir.

In the demon clan, Princely Heir surely meant the son of the Demon King!

The demon clan consisted of over a hundred tribes, most of whom were unruly and insubordinate.

Being a frail heir of the Demon King would make one an easy target for a grim fate.

Sighing, Zong Shou continued to eat the Wild Boar Meat.

When he was nearly full, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, moving erratically within.

Zong Shou stood up and moved to an open space nearby.

He began to stretch his body: now bending at the waist, now leaning forward, now extending his limbs in movements somewhat similar to modern-day weight loss exercises.

Chuxue had finished eating her leg of pork but ripped off half of another well-cooked front leg.

She ate while curiously watching him.

“Practicing those poses again, they look so strange and can’t be used to fight.

Young Master, did you learn this from Coastal Academy?

Those Spirit Masters just deceive people, speaking of accepting all without prejudice and embracing the whole world—”

Zong Shou ignored her, his expression focused.

He made sure to perform every movement as perfectly as possible.

The Basic Cultivation Method was not an inheritance from ancient times but rather uniquely created by players in the game “Divine Emperor.” Its purpose was to guide the absorption of energy from the external environment and make it one’s own.

Learning it alongside the Inner Breath Heart Method was incredibly beneficial.

Especially during the practice of Basic Cultivation Techniques, it could increase efficiency by at least thirty percent.

Zong Shou was one of the participants and initiators.

Prior to his arrival here, he had been researching up to the seventh set of movements.

Sadly, he hadn’t completed them before the “Cosmic Extreme Destiny Book” appeared, igniting the war among the Seven Emperors of the Cloud Realm.

After that, he inexplicably came to this world.

At this moment, with each movement Zong Shou completed, a thread of Qi was forcefully guided into the Qi Sea in his lower abdomen.
