This was the umpteenth time Sanzi had been filled with deep regret.
Every midnight, in moments of profound despair,
he couldn't help but think that if he had made just one correct choice at any crucial moment, he wouldn't be in this predicament.
If his start had been bad, it wouldn't have been so bad, but the problem was that he initially had so many advantages:
a Super Douluo father, a Limit Douluo and the patriarch of a God-King lineage, plus memories of his past life and the Tang Sect's techniques and hidden weapons. Even Nangong Lingyun initially treated him differently.
Holding a winning hand with four twos, he was utterly defeated. Frankly, only an ordinary person could be this stupid.
In the end, forget about becoming a god or immortal;
he couldn't even be considered human anymore. He had to suffer continuous punishment for crimes he hadn't committed, with a total sentence measured in billions of years. How pathetic, ridiculous, and laughable was this?
It was more tragic than any ancient injustice, and no matter how unlucky someone was, seeing him would make them feel incredibly fortunate.
Hearing the story told by his teacher, Tang San felt a surge of sorrow once more.
Fortunately, the intimidating power of the Eighteen Levels of Hell was indeed strong enough; no matter how melancholic and lost in thought he was, his mind remained remarkably clear.
Forcibly suppressing his emotions, he turned and ran wildly out of the village.
His steps were incredibly firm, his expression incredibly resolute, and his eyes incredibly cold, making him seem like an old general on a theatrical stage, his back covered in flags.
Yes, he still had a grand plan to execute. If successful, he could escape the punishment of hell and gain another chance to completely turn his life around.
This time, he would be cautious to the extreme, not even cautious enough, and would not succumb to any temptation other than the matter of possession.
To reduce the chances of being discovered,
Tang San sought out secluded corners to hide in, drinking mountain spring water when thirsty and eating mice, birds, wild vegetables, and fruits when hungry.
Since the day he came out, he hadn't slept a single minute, replacing it with all-night cultivation.
Not only was their hideout incredibly well-hidden, with thirty burrows like rabbits,
but they also maintained a high level of vigilance at all times. At the slightest disturbance, no matter what happened, they would flee without hesitation. Even when there were no problems, they would regularly change bases.
Once, they encountered an old man who looked like an ordinary person, but whose eyes were always darting around, and whose behavior seemed highly suspicious.
Without hesitation, Sanzi turned and walked away.
He overheard two low-level Soul Masters whispering about discovering a precious treasure that, once absorbed, could instantly increase their Soul Power by ten levels and break through their martial arts barriers.
Sanzi quickly hid far away.
Even if two groups fought each other to the death over some treasure, and there were no other intelligent beings around, he wouldn't dare go near the corpses.
He would quickly destroy the base and move to another location.
From his heart to his actions, caution was etched into his very being; no matter how precious the opportunity, it couldn't shake his resolve.
He owed a similar approach to a former teammate named Han Li.
When faced with indecision, he would first protect his teammates, and at the slightest sign of trouble, he would vanish with astonishing speed.
By the time you realized something might be wrong, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Besides various forms of hiding and evasion, Tang San's sole mission was cultivation.
The two most crucial skills, the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Purple Demon Eye, went without saying, and he also diligently trained his body daily.
He also attempted to develop his own soul skills and improve Tang Sect martial arts to suit pigs.
Through this persistent effort, his hard work paid off;
in less than seven years, his pig version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill rapidly broke through to the third level, equivalent to a thousand-year-old soul beast and a human with a three-ring Soul Master.
Perhaps it was the countless reincarnations and years of torture that had strengthened his soul, allowing
his Purple Demon Eye to progress much faster. He had long since reached the Microscopic Realm and was now not far from the third level, Sumeru, greatly enhancing his perception.
It's worth noting that the Purple Demon Eye only has four levels in total, and he hadn't even reached the Sumeru Realm during his human life.
Furthermore, he had successfully improved his Jade Hands into Jade Hooves and created Jade Mouths and Jade Fangs.
He planned to develop a Jade Body, refining his entire body into a magical artifact, like Nangong Lingyun's Golden Body.
The only obstacle was the lack of key acupoints on his feet and palms, preventing him from using Ghost Shadow Steps and Crane Control Dragon Capture techniques despite numerous attempts.
Tang San intended to continue cultivating in this way,
unsure at what level he would be completely safe, but his strength was always better before executing his final plan.
However, an unexpected event soon shattered his plans.
That morning, as the sun was just rising, he was cultivating his Purple Demon Eye, eager to break through to the next level.
Just then, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently.
His taut nerves reacted instantly, and he leaped forward, trying to dodge the supposed sneak attack.
Upon landing, he finally realized something was wrong.
His Purple Demon Eye, at the peak of the late-stage Microscopic Realm, clearly showed that everything around him was shaking violently.
Every tree and blade of grass swayed as if drunk, leaves falling in a rustling sound, and even the distant mountains seemed disturbed.
"So it's an earthquake."
A thought flashed through his mind, and Tang San let out a long sigh of relief,
then began to feel annoyed. Of all times, the earthquake had to come, just as his Purple Demon Eye was about to reach the Sumeru Realm.
Excellent eyesight and perception not only allowed him to detect danger earlier, but mental strength was also crucial for using the Body-Seizing Technique.
However, it was only a one-day delay, so he only complained briefly and didn't dwell on it too much.
About two minutes later, the earthquake ended, and
Tang San prepared to leave for a new base. Many passages in the old pigsty had collapsed and were clearly unusable.
Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
The fragrance itself wasn't unusual; the key was that after smelling it, both his Xuan Tian Gong and Purple Demon Eye felt an urge to break through.
With his second and third breaths, he was shocked to discover that it wasn't an illusion.
The strange fragrance did indeed have the miraculous effect of increasing cultivation, and his Purple Demon Eye had truly broken through.
In an instant, Tang San's heart pounded wildly .
There was a treasure, and a top-tier treasure surpassing any elixir or magic pill.
But after only half a second of hesitation, his cautious mindset remained unchanged, and his first reaction was still to run.
Because whatever it was, if it allowed him to break through, it would be the same for other soul beasts and soul masters.
Before long, this place would be attracted a large number of high-level soul beasts and powerful soul masters, and at that time, his life would likely be in danger.
