Chapter 225: Closed-Loop Worlds – Surviving for One Day! (4)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

After the past quarter-hour, they finally found the injured Daoist at the foot of a mountain.

According to Cao Tianle and his group, they learned about this injured Daoist from the villagers.

Normally, the injured Daoist wouldn’t have been discovered by the villagers of Liu’s Village until the afternoon, but by the time they found him, he had already become a corpse.

To obtain this information, they had to go through this closed-loop world a total of thirty times.

If it were Su Yang, with his current abilities, he could easily pinpoint this location and arrive.

This crucial piece of information was just one thread of destiny, but there were four more.

Perhaps by following the guidance of these threads of destiny to gradually understand the situations in the other four directions, they might be able to break through this closed-loop world.

Su Yang speculated silently, but for now, they decided to carry the injured Daoist back first.

Transporting the injured Daoist took some time, and they returned to Liu’s Village once again, arranging the Daoist comfortably.

The frail injured Daoist lay on a sickbed.

“Thank you all for saving me. If it weren’t for you, I would have died at the foot of that desolate mountain. But now, I’m seriously injured. I wonder if you noble warriors can fetch me a Life Essence Grass. I’ll be greatly indebted,” the Daoist said.

“Daoist, where can we find this Life Essence Grass, and how should we go about it?” they inquired.

“In the White Mang Mountain, within the Tiger’s Den in the Wild Boar Forest, there’s a Life Essence Grass growing. If you can retrieve it, I’ll regain some of my strength…”

“Fear not, Daoist. We’ll swiftly fetch it,” Cao Tianle replied.

After the conversation, Cao Tianle led the group towards the same White Mang Mountain’s location they had just come from.

This was a crucial step in enhancing their strength. By obtaining the Life Essence Grass for the injured Daoist, he could provide them with some enhancement pills, which would raise their cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage.

For Su Yang, this was akin to accepting a quest, and upon completing it, they could unlock some of their potential in this closed-loop world.

However, as they finished the conversation with the Daoist, Su Yang noticed an additional thread of destiny in his eyes.

The number of threads had increased from five to six.

Why was this?

Su Yang thought back to the conversation with Cao Tianle and his group and quickly realized the key.

In the closed-loop world, everything was predetermined, and events that would inevitably happen during a specific time period wouldn’t manifest before that time arrived.

For instance, the Life Essence Grass they needed to acquire wouldn’t appear until the designated time. Only after the Life Essence Grass had manifested in White Mang Mountain could his fate construction calculate the consequences.

After all, if something didn’t exist in the world, no matter how incredible the fate was, it wouldn’t matter.

It seemed that as time passed, more threads of destiny concerning this world would accumulate.

Only by gradually exploring these threads of destiny and obtaining their key aspects could they have a chance to break free from this closed-loop world.

“Cao Daoist, since this injured Daoist can provide us with something to enhance our strength, why doesn’t he give it to us now?” Su Yang inquired with curiosity.

“Well… I have considered that, but he won’t hand it over without us bringing the Life Essence Grass. He’s adamant about that,” Cao Tianle explained.

“Can’t we just take it by force? He’s injured now and can’t beat us, can he?”

After all, this was just a fictitious world woven by evil gods, and Su Yang didn’t have as many reservations.

“We’ve tried that, but if we attempt to take it by force, the Daoist can still use some magic, and with our ordinary strength, he could kill us instantly.” “Since this Daoist will die after noon, can’t we wait for him to die and then search his body?” Su Yang suggested.

“That’s not really feasible. We must go in the morning to save this Daoist and obtain the strength-enhancing items from him. If we delay even a bit, he’ll already be dead, and everything on him will be gone.”

“Why would everything be gone?”

“Not entirely clear, but it’s possible that demons or spirits might be responsible because the reason he’s injured is due to an attack by a demon.”

“And if we don’t save this Daoist, we won’t be able to resist the demons at night. Our ability to resist them at night primarily depends on the Daoist.”

“Alright.”

After understanding the situation, Su Yang and the others arrived at White Mang Mountain and the location of the Tiger’s Den.

Cao Tianle and the others were already well-acquainted with the situation, so upon their arrival, they began setting traps, preparing to hunt the tigers within the den.

Su Yang, seeing this, was puzzled. “With our ordinary human strength, it should be simple to kill a tiger, right? Why go through all this trouble? Could it be that even the tiger here possesses some cultivation?”

Cao Tianle and the others stopped their actions, looking surprised.

Killing a tiger with ordinary human strength, simple?

“Su Daoist… Are you sure it’s simple?”

“Though within this closed-loop world, we can only exert the strength of an ordinary person and can’t exceed it, in terms of the Body Tempering realm, without surpassing a thousand pounds of strength, even as ordinary people, we’re different from regular mortals. We’ve slightly gained some power since stepping onto the path of cultivation, not exactly like ordinary people.”

“So… my 999 pounds of strength, combined with ordinary human physical attributes at the peak, along with our reflexes and techniques, it should be relatively easy for us to kill an ordinary tiger, right?” Su Yang explained his rationale.

“Uh… Well…”

Cao Tianle and the others were dumbfounded. Could it be done this way?

Until now, in their cultivation journey, matters like physical cultivation… not to mention forgetting, they hadn’t even attempted it..
