Chapter 13495 Chasing Troops
If you can't even save your own life, what's the use of so-called kindness?
Ling Xiao deeply understands that the fate of the weak is always in the hands of the strong. Being weak means being beaten or even facing the threat of death.

What's even more tragic is that sometimes you can't even decide how you die, and can only accept the arrangement of fate helplessly. This feeling of powerlessness and helplessness towards life made Ling Xiao more determined to become stronger.

Under the guidance of the Five Elements Dragon Soul, the power of the five elements around him continuously poured into his body like a tide.

These powers raged in his body, blending with his blood and resonating with his soul. Every time he devoured, he felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, as if it was about to break through the constraints of his body and reach a whole new realm.

However, this influx of power was not without cost. After Ling Xiao swallowed the power of the five elements, his body began to tremble violently.

This is the friction and conflict between strength and body, and it is the ordeal he must go through on the road of cultivation. But he did not back down because of this, but strengthened his belief. He knew that only after going through this kind of pain and suffering could he truly master this power and become a truly strong man.

A few days later, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on him, Ling Xiao finally felt the initial results brought by the Five Dragon Technique.

His body became stronger and more resilient, as if it could withstand all the winds and rains in the world. His eyes became more determined and profound, revealing an indescribable majesty and power. He knew that he had mastered the Five Dragon Technique.

He did not continue to devour the power of the Five Elements wantonly, because he had already realized in his heart that although devouring could bring about a rapid increase in strength, the body was like fragile porcelain and could not withstand this surging torrent of energy.

If he rushed forward rashly, it would backfire, causing his body to collapse and all his efforts to go to waste. Therefore, he wisely chose to stop swallowing further and wait until his body was strengthened and could carry more power before continuing forward.

He knew very well that in the path of cultivation, one must avoid being impatient for quick success and instant benefits.

As the old saying goes, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", everything needs to be done step by step and gradually.

Only by taking steady steps can one go further on this thorny road. Therefore, he adjusted his cultivation strategy, slowed down the speed of absorbing the power of the five elements, and instead paid more attention to the condensation of internal strength and the stability of the body, striving to take every step firmly and firmly.

With this rhythm of practice, he embarked on his journey to the Star-Picking Tower.

The Star Picking Tower, a place that had been on his mind since the beginning of his cultivation, had finally become his goal. Although he had been delayed by the disturbances of the Demon Soul Beast and the Demon Dragon Clan, he had now found his direction again, and his steps were firm and powerful.

Thinking that Xiao Lianzhu, Ling Bi and others had already gone ahead and headed for Zhaixing Tower, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Calculating the time, they have been gone for nearly half a month. He wondered if they were safe and well in that mysterious and ancient building, and whether they had gained anything. This longing was like the drizzle in spring, gentle but lingering, making him more eager to rush to the Zhaixing Tower as soon as possible to meet them.

"Demon Lord, are we going to the legendary Star-Picking Tower?" At this time, Lie Yong's voice, with a hint of surprise and curiosity, sounded slowly from the mysterious magic needle space, as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and space and directly communicated with Ling Xiao's mind.

Ling Xiao gently waved his hand, and an invisible force surged. Then, Lie Yong's figure slowly walked out of the dark space crack, like a streak of light, and finally landed steadily in front of Ling Xiao. His appearance added some vitality to this quiet space.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything: "Yes, I am here for the Star Picking Tower. Do you know anything about that place? As far as I know, hasn't your clan been trapped in that desolate and barren land?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Yong's face flashed with a complex expression, with both helplessness towards the past and awe of the unknown:

"Zhaixing Tower, this name was already famous throughout the continent before the destruction of the Demon Sect, so I naturally know a thing or two about it. It is said that it is a place where evildoers are rampant, powerful people are everywhere, and dangers are lurking everywhere. Even today, I am afraid that there has not been much change."

Ling Xiao heard this and a faint smile appeared on his lips, his eyes revealing a kind of transcendental confidence:

"Monster? Haha, I'm not interested in those monsters who are just starting out and haven't yet become powerful. My opponents are those old monsters who have experienced many vicissitudes of life and have unfathomable strength. They are the ones who are worthy of my attack."

Having said this, Ling Xiao's eyes became more determined, as if he had already seen the scene of himself in the Zhaixing Tower, competing with those truly powerful men.

His heart is filled with a desire for unknown challenges and absolute confidence in his own strength. This confidence comes not only from his strong strength, but also from his never-give-up tenacity and perseverance deep in his heart.

"The Demon Lord is indeed extraordinary. I was overthinking. The Demon Lord continues to practice. I will not disturb him." Lie Yong's face showed a sincere smile, and his eyes flashed with deep admiration for Ling Xiao. He slowly retreated and returned to the magic needle space. His movements were calm and unrestrained.

Ling Xiao stood there, his figure as straight as a pine tree, his temperament extraordinary and otherworldly. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through the essence of everything in the world.

In response to Lie Yong's praise, he just smiled faintly without saying too much, because he knew very well that the reason why he could look down on the evildoers of his generation was not because of his arrogance, but because he had real strength to support him.

While other monsters were still immersed in the quagmire of competing with their peers, Ling Xiao had already surpassed this level. His vision was longer-term and his pursuits were higher.

He knew very well that a truly strong person should not be limited to competing with his peers, but should have the courage to challenge those who are more powerful. Only in this way can he constantly break through himself and reach a higher level.

……

Ling Xiao's airship was like a meteor in the sky, disappearing into the distant sky in the blink of an eye. Then, a black shadow as swift as a ghost appeared silently in the center of the empty field, as if it was born out of nothingness.

The black shadow stood quietly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, fixed tightly on the direction where Lingxiao's airship disappeared, and whispered softly: "I'm afraid that you guys from Zhaixinglou will have a hard time reaching Shenwu City."
