Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1142 489: Guardian Earth Realm

Inside the secret hall, Duan Shuang suddenly opened her eyes. At first, her beautiful eyes were filled with extreme exhaustion and a trace of lingering shock, then transformed into clarity and determination after overcoming the tribulation.

She panted heavily, her buxom chest heaving violently, fragrant sweat drenching her thin dress, clinging tightly to her exquisite figure, clearly still a bit shaken.

"Shuang'Er, stabilize your mind."

Xu Ping's gentle voice sounded.

At the same time, a pure and vast Mana, imbued with soothing and nourishing power, like a warm spring breeze, slowly flowed into Duan Shuang's body, helping her calm her surging blood and stabilize her injured mind.

Feeling that familiar and reassuring power, Duan Shuang's pounding heart gradually calmed. She looked up at Xu Ping, her eyes full of gratitude and lingering fear.

Xu Ping looked at her, his eyes showing undisguised approval, praising, "Not bad, Shuang'Er, you've made great progress."

"The simulated Heart Demon Tribulation's power now reaches nearly seventy to eighty percent of the real thing, and you've finally broken through it relying on your own strength."

Hearing Xu Ping's affirmation, Duan Shuang, who had come back to her senses, finally had a hint of joy on her face.

After decades, she finally succeeded once.

In these thirty years, she didn't know how many times she had failed in this simulated Heart Demon Tribulation, each time as if taking a trip to the gates of hell, greatly exhausting her mind.

Now finally succeeding in breaking through the tribulation meant her Dao Heart had withstood an almost real test, undoubtedly boosting her confidence in her future impact on Divinity Transformation.

"Xu Lang, thank you..."

Duan Shuang looked at Xu Ping with eyes full of tenderness and gratitude.

If it weren't for Xu Ping tirelessly using his Divine Sense to constantly create this high-intensity tempering environment for her, her Dao Heart would never have progressed so quickly.

Xu Ping simply smiled and waved his hand, dismissing it indifferently: "Between you and me, there's no need for thanks."

He changed his tone, becoming a bit more solemn: "Since Shuang'Er, you've now been able to break through this simulated Heart Demon Tribulation, your Dao Heart has undergone a preliminary test."

"Then, it is also time... to head to the Guardian Earth Realm."

Xu Ping had already told Duan Shuang in detail about the Guardian Earth Realm and the only Divinity Transformation cultivator within, Black Soul.

It concerned another possible fortune and opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Duan Shuang nodded, her expression also becoming serious: "I understand, everything will follow Xu Lang's arrangements."

Xu Ping nodded slightly, contemplating: "In that case, we shall set it for one year later, to officially set off for the Guardian Earth Realm."

His gaze seemed to penetrate the secret hall, looking into the endless void, continuing: "Going early will allow us to observe secretly, plan with ease, and avoid rushing when the time comes."

...

A year flies by in the blink of an eye.

Guardian Earth Realm.

This is a realm known for its vastness, barrenness, and richness in earth attribute Spiritual Qi.

It's as if the world is enveloped in a sepia-toned filter, with scarce vegetation, mostly gobi, deserts, and continuous yellow earth mountains.

At this moment, in the depths of a desolate desert, where only endless yellow sand meets the eye.

Hum...

The space rippled violently like water waves, and subsequently, a pitch-black spatial crack, with unstable shimmering dark light around its edges, appeared out of thin air.

Immediately after, two figures stumbled out from the crack.

The powerful spatial tearing force silently annihilated a swath of sand dunes.

But these two figures were evidently of extremely high cultivation; they merely swayed slightly before quickly stabilizing themselves, the Spiritual Aura around them flashing, dispelling the discomfort brought by cross-realm travel.

On closer inspection, it was Xu Ping and Duan Shuang.

Xu Ping still retained his calm demeanor in a blue robe, only his eyes carried a hint of scrutiny in this unfamiliar place.

Duan Shuang curiously observed the surrounding barren and desolate landscape, perceiving the distinctly different Heaven and Earth Laws and Spiritual Qi attributes from the previous Star Palace.

"Guardian Earth Realm?"

Xu Ping's Divine Sense, vast as mid-stage Divinity Transformation, spread out instantly like an invisible net, covering a radius of a thousand miles.

Moments later, he nodded slowly, finally confirming: "Indeed, the spatial coordinates are correct; this is precisely the Guardian Earth Realm."

"We've arrived?"

Duan Shuang, sensing the completely different environment, showed a hint of novelty on her face.

"Yes, we're here."

Xu Ping nodded with a smile, his gaze sweeping across the endless yellow sand, his tone calm, "As newcomers to unfamiliar territory. The foremost task now is to first investigate Black Soul's detailed information."

He paused, adding: "As the only Divinity Transformation cultivator in the Guardian Earth Realm, Black Soul's renown must be prominent, and the force he belongs to should be the overlord of this realm."

"Finding information shouldn't be difficult."

Saying this, a gentle yet irresistible force enveloped Duan Shuang as green light flashed around Xu Ping.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared into the dead silent desert, leaving not a trace behind.

...

Several hours later.

In the southeastern region of the Guardian Earth Realm, in the depths of a vast cultivator city.

This is the core node of the city's fourth-rank Spirit Vein, covered by a powerful Spirit Gathering Array, with dense Spiritual Qi, usually the retreat place for the highest-ranking cultivators in the city.

At this moment, in this silent cultivation chamber, Xu Ping's figure appeared like a ghost.

An elderly man dressed in an earth-yellow Taoist robe, with a simple face and an aura of mid-stage Nascent Soul, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, focused on cultivation, unaware of Xu Ping's arrival.

Xu Ping's gaze fell calmly on the old man, without using any force.
