"Reaching Foundation Establishment in just one day, if it weren't for my interference, he might have reached the Divine Sea stage soon. Truly monstrous," Gu Tianxing was horrified by such a cultivation speed.
With his own foundation and talent, it took him over two months to go from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, which was already considered an extremely fast pace in the entire Three Thousand Dao Prefectures.
"Though it's like casting a long line to catch a big fish, such a person must have numerous opportunities. However, that ruler he just used, I must obtain it."
Having already implanted the Immortal-Chasing Seal in Xiao Han, he wasn't worried about losing track of him.
He immediately pinpointed the direction and silently pursued.
Meanwhile, Xiao Han, who had distanced himself from Gu Tianxing, breathed a sigh of relief, but the sense of crisis in his heart hadn't dissipated.
He immediately checked his body but found nothing.
"There must be some method I'm unaware of. I must leave quickly, or I'll be doomed if I'm caught," Xiao Han landed in a small town.
Casually, he grabbed a Qi Refining cultivator in a corner and searched his soul for memories.
"Three Thousand Dao Prefectures, Xuancheng Dao Prefecture, this world is much larger than my previous cultivation world. Fascinating, truly fascinating. Cultivation realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Divine Sea, Dragon Transformation, Tianyuan, Dao Palace. This guy knows up to Dao Palace, but in such a vast world, there must be higher cultivation realms.
Sacred Land, Divine Dynasty, Ancient Wild Clan. The area I just left is the territory of the Gu Family, the Changsheng Clan. It seems that those with the surname Lin are just a collateral branch of this family, a small vassal family."
Xiao Han thought about how even this collateral branch was so powerful, making it hard to imagine what kind of existence the Gu Family was, and he still had no clue about the identity of the person pursuing him.
"The Qi Refining cultivator knows too little. I must quickly improve my cultivation. Fortunately, the Demon Codex from my previous life, combined with the Hongmeng Ruler, allows my cultivation to increase without limits."
Xiao Han wasn't a saint. As the sense of crisis in his heart grew stronger, he arrived at a small Daoist temple, led by a Divine Sea cultivator, with the rest being Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He immediately infiltrated the temple, and after setting up an array, he sat in a mysterious position, causing the life force of all the cultivators in the temple to slowly drain away.
"If it weren't for that guy chasing me, I wouldn't be in such a rush to cultivate the Demon Technique. This method of forcing growth will surely make my foundation unstable."
He didn't linger, being extremely sensitive to the warning signs of danger. Each time Gu Tianxing was about to get close, he would immediately leave, and after half the people in the temple died, he withdrew completely.

The next time he appeared, Xiao Han was in a small town, mostly inhabited by mortals, with independent cultivators scattered around, numbering in the tens of thousands, covering a large area.
Xiao Han directly used his Demon Technique, starting to hide and kill in the city, devouring.
The Hongmeng Ruler transformed all negative energy into extremely pure spiritual power, integrating it into his body, causing his cultivation to soar.
Ten minutes later, a sense of crisis arose in his heart again, a strange feeling he never had in his previous life.
It was as if something was warning him.
"It's time to go, that guy must be coming again."
He immediately transformed into a streak of flowing light, shooting into the sky, and just as he was about to leave the city, he crashed into a thin barrier with a loud clang, being bounced back by a powerful force.
"What, an array formation, when did this happen?"
His heart sank, estimating that this array would require at least Dragon Transformation Realm strength to break through. Although he had many techniques in his mind, breaking arrays wasn't his forte; he could only rely on brute force.
However, the techniques with such power required Dragon Transformation cultivation to use.
"Kid, though I don't know your background, it's surprising that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator would make Young Master Gu personally take action, tsk tsk," a middle-aged black-robed cultivator slowly stepped forward from the city center.
The commotion at this time made most people in the city react, and suddenly someone shouted, "People are dead, so many people!"
"Here too, the Zhao family's five brothers are all dead, they've all become dried corpses."
When they saw the middle-aged black-robed cultivator, those independent cultivators shouted, "Lord Fei, an evil cultivator has entered the city, killing many people."
Lord Fei pointed forward, "The evil cultivator you're talking about is this person."
Xiao Han, pointed out, showed no panic. Among everyone here, only Lord Fei posed a challenge to him, at least at the Dragon Transformation level.
The others were all Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining.
"Him? That brat!"
"Just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet he killed so many people. Give me back my brother's life!"

A Foundation Establishment man angrily swung his long blade, enhanced by the phantom of bone wings behind him, speeding him up significantly. At the same time, he released ten talismans, raining fire down from the sky.
This combo would make any ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator flee, but Xiao Han remained unfazed, with a single hand gesture, a black light shot out, turning a hundred-meter radius into a dark space, nullifying all attacks.
The Foundation Establishment man didn't even have time to scream before turning into a dried corpse.
This display made everyone retreat in fear, even Lord Fei was shocked, wondering what kind of technique this was.
"What a terrifying Demon Technique. Although Young Master Gu instructed me to trap you and not act rashly, allowing a Foundation Establishment brat to run rampant in my city without daring to act, I, Fei, would have no place in the cultivation world."
Lord Fei stepped forward, his Dragon Transformation aura forcing Xiao Han's dark space to shrink to just a meter in radius.
The other cultivators, seeing this, were also eager to join in and eliminate Xiao Han.
"This person must have obtained an ancient demon cultivator's inheritance, perhaps even a Supreme-level Demon Lord. Everyone, don't hold back, attack together," someone shouted from the crowd.
Seeing Lord Fei approaching, Xiao Han immediately used his best body technique from his previous life, avoiding direct confrontation, and started charging towards the independent cultivators.
"Not good, he's trying to absorb more cultivators to increase his strength."
Realizing this, Lord Fei attacked even more fiercely and quickly, a hundred-meter-long Earth Dragon rising from beneath him, biting towards Xiao Han from the north.
Just as it was about to succeed, a phantom of a ruler blocked the attack.
"Exotic Treasure?" Lord Fei was startled, realizing this person indeed had major issues, no wonder a Foundation Establishment cultivator wasn't afraid of a Dragon Transformation cultivator.
Two people in the crowd ahead were also caught by Xiao Han.
"All cultivators below late Foundation Establishment, leave the city quickly, we can't handle him with numbers alone."
Hearing Lord Fei's words, Xiao Han finally understood that the person pursuing him was the so-called Young Master Gu, from the Gu Family. From the minds of those Qi Refining cultivators, he learned that this was an immensely powerful, ancient family, existing since the formation of the Dao Prefectures, with an unknown duration of existence. Undoubtedly, the Gu Family was stronger and more ancient than any sect or power he had seen in his previous life.
And this Young Master Gu, from the souls of these people, he also learned that the Gu Family had a peerless talent, only eighteen years old this year, but already guilty of heinous crimes, with cruel methods, treating human lives as ants, and women as playthings. Those caught by him met terrible fates.
"Could this person be Gu Tianxing? Damn, if it's really him, I must head to another Dao Prefecture, otherwise, in this Xuancheng Dao Prefecture, I won't be able to move an inch," Xiao Han, having lived for over ten thousand years, quickly deduced the possibility.
"However, I must find a way to break the array and get out now."
In his thoughts, Xiao Han absorbed over ten more cultivators, his cultivation nearing the peak of Foundation Establishment.
