Even if nothing was done now, Xiaoyao should gradually get better, and his body would slowly heal itself.

"To think such a thing could happen. A-Xue, your child is truly remarkable," Qi Bupo said with some emotion. He no longer knew how to explain Xiaoyao's physical condition, no rule seemed able to explain his current situation.

But regardless, Xiaoyao would slowly recover. Perhaps when he woke up, his body would be no different from usual.

Under normal circumstances, such an injury would have killed someone long ago, yet he could still slowly recover on his own. This kind of constitution was too special. Even cultivating the Divine Farmer's Art, he had never heard of it being possible to do this.

Never mind, he'd wait until he woke up to talk about it. As for his condition, he wouldn't tell others. Let Luo Yuntian suffer for a few more years.

Thinking of Luo Yuntian's pain and suffering, Qi Bupo's hatred toward Luo Yuntian suddenly lessened considerably. But conversely, Luo Yuntian had begun to hate him.

Time quickly passed for a month. Xiaoyao's breathing became normal, and his body seemed to have completely recovered. If examined now, one would find he was completely uninjured, as if that palm strike had never hit him.

His body had recovered, but he was still sleeping. Internal energy continuously circulated within him, giving the feeling that he was cultivating, and there was even some sense of breakthrough.

...

...

If he was going to break through, who knew when he would actually break through. Besides having someone watch Xiaoyao, Qi Bupo didn't do anything else to him.

He wasn't anxious about Xiaoyao's condition and let nature take its course. At least this result was much better than before.

After this, Xiaoyao's body began showing strange phenomena, continuously absorbing external heaven and earth essence qi. The heaven and earth essence qi here in Shadow Moon Valley was already abundant, much more than ordinary places. Even so, if one was nearby, it could be felt.

Fortunately, where Xiaoyao was located was a very quiet mountain peak. This was Qi Bupo's residence, and besides him, few people would come here.

This phenomenon of Xiaoyao's, was he about to break through again? This was hard to say. It was easy to break through between life and death. Xiaoyao had just returned from death's door, so this phenomenon wasn't strange.

It was just unknown whether Xiaoyao would rise two levels consecutively this time. Actually, even rising one level would be quite good, since he had just broken through and had consecutively broken through two levels. Even breaking through to Mid Emperor Level now would be quite remarkable.

This situation lasted for about forty-nine days. Xiaoyao opened his eyes, woke up, looked around, then checked his own condition.

"I'm not dead yet. Heaven truly favors good people," Xiaoyao's first sigh was that he hadn't died. At that time, although he had made some preparations, like taking some medicine, defending with all his might against the palm force, etc., facing a God Level martial artist's full-force attack, he couldn't say he had a hundred percent chance of survival.

He had calculated his survival rate at about thirty percent. But never mind thirty percent, even if there wasn't even one percent, he still had to do this, regardless of the consequences or whether it was useful.

"Huh, not only is my body completely fine, I've also broken through. I'm at Mid Emperor Level now, even in the later stages of the middle period. Looks like this palm wasn't taken in vain," This was Xiaoyao's second sigh. He examined his physical condition to see if he had any injuries. The result was naturally that he was completely intact, and he discovered his martial level had broken through again.

Breaking through was naturally a happy thing. Regardless of whether Xiaoyao liked becoming number one in the world, how could he not be happy if he could become stronger?

"Where is this place?"

After confirming his situation, Xiaoyao left the room and found this was a place he had never seen before. Surrounded by mountains, with strange peaks and rocks, lakes and trees, it brightened his eyes and naturally refreshed his mood.

Now the problem came. He had originally thought he should be with the Luo family, the people who "collected his corpse" should be the Luo family. He had never thought he would be taken away by Qi Bupo. This was something he never would have expected.

"Could this be the Luo family's cultivation grounds?" Xiaoyao asked with some confusion. At the Luo family, he also knew that the Luo family's top-level martial artists all cultivated at cultivation grounds, with only a few remaining at the Luo family just in case.

The Luo family's cultivation grounds weren't very far, they were in a mountain region within Flowing Stone Kingdom's borders. Through certain means, they could provide support to the Luo family in a short time. At the same time, the Luo family's foundation was also in these cultivation grounds. The external Luo family was just a place to cultivate power.

Even if the Luo family's surface people all died, as long as this group remained, the Luo family could still continue. They could even take over everything of the Luo family in a short time, becoming a new Luo family.

It was because of this that Luo Yunqing hadn't cared much about his own life and death then, because he knew that even if all of them died, it didn't matter, these people would take over everything in a short time. This was originally the Luo family's backup preparation.

Xiaoyao could only explain it this way now. He'd find someone to ask later, they couldn't just leave him here alone.

"You're awake. Wait, I'll go notify the Valley Master," When Xiaoyao found someone, before he could ask anything, that person spoke first, then sent out a message. Although Xiaoyao knew this method of messaging, he had rarely seen it.

This messaging used a type of pipeline to transmit spheres containing information to the next location. This next location might be a transfer station or a final destination, depending on the size of this message transmission network.

At this time, Xiaoyao wasn't paying attention to this transmission method, but was staring strangely at that person. This person wore a type of symbol, but this symbol didn't belong to the Luo family, it belonged to demonic path people, those from Shadow Moon Valley.

"Brother, what place is this? Why are you wearing this thing?" Xiaoyao asked tentatively. Could it be that he was actually in Shadow Moon Valley? This seemed somewhat ridiculous. How could he possibly be in Shadow Moon Valley? Someone must be playing a joke on him.

Thinking it over, Xiaoyao wouldn't believe Shadow Moon Valley people would bring him to Shadow Moon Valley. There was no reason for this. No matter how bored Shadow Moon Valley was, they wouldn't carry someone who was no different from a corpse so far.

Therefore, Xiaoyao only speculated that a great battle might have occurred afterward, some Shadow Moon Valley people were killed, so they took Shadow Moon Valley items as war trophies.

As for the title "Valley Master," Xiaoyao also found it normal, because the Luo family's cultivation grounds were called Peach Blossom Valley!

"This is Moon-Gazing Peak, our Valley Master's quiet cultivation place. I wear this thing because our valley rules require it," that person said.

"Valley rules require it? What valley is this?" Xiaoyao felt something was wrong. How could Peach Blossom Valley have such rules? Such rules should belong to Shadow Moon Valley. Could he really be in Shadow Moon Valley?

Xiaoyao suddenly realized this was actually possible. The plant types here were completely different from Flowing Stone Kingdom, they should belong to two different climate zones' vegetation. There was no such climate vegetation within Flowing Stone Kingdom. Peach Blossom Valley was famous for peach blossoms, but he hadn't seen a single peach tree here.

This type of vegetation seemed to match the Demon Domain's climate. Although he didn't know exactly where Shadow Moon Valley was located, it could possibly have such an environment, at least more likely than Peach Blossom Valley.

If this was Shadow Moon Valley, could it be that Qi Bupo was so perverted that his hatred reached the point of not even sparing corpses?

"This is naturally Shadow Moon Valley. Don't think about escaping. The Valley Master has been quite good to you, even giving up his own residence for you. I really suspect you're the Valley Master's illegitimate son," that person was also impolite, directly gossiping about Qi Bupo.

"How is that possible? Can you tell me what's going on? Why am I here? Also, how was the Luo family's situation afterward? And, how long have I been sleeping?" Xiaoyao asked a series of questions, all things he wanted to know.

That person looked at Xiaoyao and said: "Some things should wait for the Valley Master to come and discuss. I can only tell you that from the day you lost consciousness, over three months have passed."

"What? Over three months have passed?" Xiaoyao was stunned. He had thought it might have been a long time, but he felt like only a few days had passed. That day's events seemed to him as if they had just happened yesterday.

"That's right, it's been over three months. You've been sleeping the whole time. However, your surviving is already a miracle. With your injuries then, we all thought you were beyond saving and brought you back as a corpse," that person looked at Xiaoyao with an expression as if saying: you dying would be normal, living is abnormal.

"Life always has miracles. Why did you bring me here? At that time, you didn't know I was still alive. If it was just as a corpse, then why?" Xiaoyao asked. He couldn't quite understand this matter.

"I don't know about this. You should ask our Valley Master," that person replied. Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you. Who knows what the Valley Master's intentions are? If I said something wrong, wouldn't that be big trouble?

"..." Xiaoyao fell silent. He estimated these matters would have to be asked of Qi Bupo, but he had other questions he could continue asking.

"Then let me ask you, did Luo Yuntian die?"

"He didn't die. You exchanged your life for his!"

Xiaoyao's question was answered, which immediately made him breathe a sigh of relief. At least his sacrifice wasn't in vain. If he could save Luo Yuntian, then everything was worth it.
