Chapter 34: Trapped Dragon Ravine

After walking for a short while, an immense ravine that seemed to span the entire world appeared before him. A fierce Gale blew right at his face, nearly knocking Yangx Kai off his feet.

Yangx Kai recovered his wits, looked up, and was instantly stunned.

He wondered, "How could it be this place?"

The ravine before him was thousands of feet wide, seemingly bottomless, and stretched on for an unknown distance. It was none other than the most dangerous and mysterious place in Lingxiao Pavilion—Trapped Dragon Ravine!

Speaking of which, the existence of this ravine itself was very strange. Lingxiao Pavilion was not situated on a mountain range at all, but rather on a flat plain. This ravine was less of a mountain stream and more of a rift in the earth, albeit an excessively massive one.

Trapped Dragon Ravine was a forbidden area of Lingxiao Pavilion that wasn’t officially labeled as one! Because it was extraordinarily dangerous with howling Gales, a single misstep could lead to a fall. Once someone fell, it was absolute, certain death.

Trapped Dragon Ravine was also the place where Lingxiao Pavilion exiled its traitorous Disciples. Over the past few centuries, whenever a heinous, unforgivable Disciple appeared in Lingxiao Pavilion, their Cultivation would be crippled, and they would be banished into Trapped Dragon Ravine.

Yangx Kai couldn’t understand this at all. He wondered, "If they are truly so heinous, wouldn’t it be better to just kill them directly? Why choose exile?" Having one’s Cultivation crippled and being thrown down here was tantamount to a death sentence.

Of course, aside from being a place of exile for rebellious Disciples, Trapped Dragon Ravine was also the top choice for many lovestruck individuals to commit double suicide.

Many such stories circulated within Lingxiao Pavilion, mostly epic and moving tales of people refusing to live on after their lovers died, choosing instead to jump into Trapped Dragon Ravine.

The male Disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion basically all kept one or two of these stories tucked away in their minds, waiting for the right moment to use them to pick up girls. As long as they could make a beauty weep until her delicate face resembled Yur-battered Pear Blossoms, the male Disciple could then display his broad chest and warm embrace. It was an absolutely invincible tactic that never failed.

Who knew how many tender romances had been forged by these touching stories? They were truly the greatest treasures in the hearts of Lingxiao Pavilion’s male Disciples!

Information about Trapped Dragon Ravine ran through Yangx Kai’s mind. He slowly took a few steps forward and glanced into the bottomless ravine, filled with confusion.

He wondered, "How can there be Yang Qi in here? Furthermore, it’s different from what I sensed earlier."

Not only was there dense Yang Qi below, but at this very moment, this Yang Qi was constantly radiating upward. Even standing by the edge of the ravine, Yangx Kai could feel a trace of warmth in the air.

This warmth was not Solar Power, yet it was countless times purer than Solar Power.

After thinking for a moment, Yangx Kai simply plopped down on the ground. He stopped agonizing over the reasons and instead worked hard to absorb it. When Cultivating the True Yang Technique, the denser the Yang Qi in the environment, the faster the Cultivation speed.

Currently, the Primordial Qi in his body was scarce, causing the True Yang Technique to circulate slowly. However, with the help of this Yang Qi, his Cultivation speed should become much faster.

It was evening, and the Sun was setting in the west. Although there wasn’t much light from the Sun, Yangx Kai could still feel that his current Cultivation efficiency was indeed significantly higher than in the previous days.

This Cultivation session unexpectedly lasted an entire night.

By the time morning arrived the next day, Yangx Kai opened his eyes to inspect the results of his Cultivation.

Having Yang Qi was completely different from lacking it. Previously, even though he had Cultivated under the Sun, it had taken him three days just to produce a tiny bit of Primordial Qi. Now, however, he had accomplished three days’ worth of progress in a single night. Such high efficiency was staggering.

The Primordial Qi inside his body had also grown stronger; it was no longer like a flickering candle in a storm, as it had been a few days ago.

Moreover, along with the growth of his Primordial Qi, Yangx Kai found that controlling it was much easier than before.

It was a new day.

Yangx Kai didn’t continue Cultivating the True Yang Technique. Instead, he stood up and practiced the Body Tempering Chapter for half an hour.

Beside Trapped Dragon Ravine, Yangx Kai sweated profusely. Even though he had been Cultivating all night, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue; on the contrary, he was brimming with energy.

After finishing his Cultivation of the Body Tempering Chapter, Yangx Kai completed his tasks as a sweeping Servant before finally jogging back eagerly.

In any case, his Three-Leaf Soul Flower and Desolate Dried Wood Grass were already mostly consumed, and the Incense Burner couldn’t be used for the time being. Naturally, Cultivating here remained his only option.

Originally, Yangx Kai had wanted to find Su Mu’s group for a fight. Strangely enough, however, ever since that night, Su Mu and the others seemed to have vanished into thin air within Lingxiao Pavilion, never to be seen again.

Although Yangx Kai had some friction with them, it couldn’t be considered a bitter grudge. He only tangled with them for fun and to verify his own growth; he hadn’t even taken their nighttime sneak attack to heart.

He thought, "If I am the one being bullied, as long as I have the strength to retaliate, I will probably try every possible means to get payback too."

Sitting back down beside Trapped Dragon Ravine, he ignored the Gale that was strong enough to blow a living person away. With a single thought from Yangx Kai, his scarce bit of Primordial Qi surged and shuttled through his Meridians, circulating over and over again.

The circulation of the Primordial Qi seemed to pull at some mysterious power, causing the pores all over his skin to open up simultaneously. The Yang Qi radiating in the air acted like a cat smelling fish, impatiently drilling into his body.

His whole body felt warm, as if he were taking a hot bath. Yangx Kai relaxed in total comfort.

Two days passed in a flash.

Yangx Kai had reaped a plentiful harvest.

Following these two days of Cultivation, the Primordial Qi in Yangx Kai’s body had grown significantly stronger, and the Primordial Qi now contained a mild Sun Flame Power.

This was the most obvious characteristic of Cultivating the True Yang Technique. Because the Primordial Qi in his body was formed by absorbing Yang Power, it naturally belonged to the Yang attribute.
