If that old man were here to hear these words, he would surely praise the general’s prowess. Before the incident with Nathaniel Carter, he had secretly tried to capture an Abyssal to question them about the location of their teleportation array. As a result, he was attacked by several experts working together. Although he managed to escape, he was gravely injured—his internal organs were shattered, making it impossible for him to continue his mission. Just then, he encountered someone like Nathaniel Carter, so he decided to risk his life to teleport Nathaniel Carter. Later, the brutal actions of the Abyssals forced him to muster his remaining strength to fight, which ultimately exhausted his energy and led to his death.

“General, what should we do?”

“Orders!”

The Jindan expert’s expression turned serious as he issued orders to the Foundation Establishment soldier.

“Order our troops to assemble quickly and launch a full-scale attack on the Abyssal army ahead!”

“Yes, sir!”

Watching the Foundation Establishment soldier leave, the Jindan general glanced again at the soul lamp, sighed, and then strode out.

Since sabotage was no longer possible, all that was left was to go to war.

……

At this point, both armies had already engaged in fierce battle, and Nathaniel Carter’s cultivation had also entered a focused state.

Having long since put everything else aside, Nathaniel Carter knew very well that only by improving his cultivation could he have a chance to survive in this world of cultivation.

The Energy Absorption Technique truly was a great cultivation method that could transform acupoints into dantians!

After successfully cultivating it, Nathaniel Carter was quite astonished. The greatest benefit of this technique was that every acupoint could store a large amount of true qi just like a dantian. With such a vast reserve of true qi, breaking through barriers became much easier.

Normally, when breaking through levels, most people would consume large amounts of pills, hoping to use their medicinal power to boost their breakthrough. But now, he didn’t need to take any pills at all. He just needed to fill his major acupoints with true qi, and when breaking through, he could draw on this immense reserve to succeed in one go.

Cultivation was no longer difficult for him!

Nathaniel Carter realized that probably only he could cultivate this Energy Absorption Technique. The key to cultivating it was that the body had to be completely filled with a special substance called xirang. Only with xirang could the expansion of acupoints proceed.

This time, he had transferred his divine sense, and his entire divine sense was filled with the aura of xirang. So, after merging with the body, the xirang could fully integrate with it. For someone else, even with a large amount of xirang, success was not guaranteed.

Once the Energy Absorption Technique was activated, Nathaniel Carter no longer needed to consciously control it; it would operate automatically, constantly storing true qi.

After mastering the Energy Absorption Technique, Nathaniel Carter once again immersed himself in cultivation. The Divine Refinement Technique was now his most important method, and Nathaniel Carter hoped to master it as quickly as possible.

Fully focused on cultivation, Nathaniel Carter paid no attention to the outside world. He had no idea that the old man’s death had caused the war to break out ahead of schedule.

It was precisely because the war started early that those searching for him had to withdraw. Otherwise, given his current hiding place, the enemy would still have had a good chance of finding him.

The outside world had already become a battlefield where fighting was everywhere. Inside the cave, Nathaniel Carter’s cultivation was reaching its final stage; the first layer of the Divine Refinement Technique’s body refinement was nearly complete.

“There’s a cave here!”

“The pursuers are coming—set up a formation first!”

At this critical moment in Nathaniel Carter’s cultivation, he heard the voices of two women coming from outside the cave.

Someone’s coming!

He hadn’t expected anyone to find such a hidden place.

From their voices, it was clear they were two women from Blue Star, currently being chased by pursuers!

Nathaniel Carter simply couldn’t concern himself with the outside world. Fortunately, his hiding spot was well concealed, so for now he wasn’t worried about being discovered by the two women.

Chapter 6: Rescue

Perhaps because he was well hidden, and the two women were nervous, they didn’t notice Nathaniel Carter sitting inside for the moment.

“They should be here!”

“Search, they must be inside—they couldn’t have gone far!”

Just as the two women were setting up a formation, the sound of something slicing through the air came—several Abyssals had already caught up.

The pursuers arrived too quickly!

So quickly that the two women didn’t even have time to set up a formation.

Hearing this, the two women grew tense, knowing they couldn’t hide any longer, and both rushed out.

Nathaniel Carter understood the situation and secretly nodded at the women’s quick thinking. Since the enemy had already found them here, staying hidden in the cave would only get them trapped and killed. Only by going out did they have a sliver of hope.

Standing up from the ground, Nathaniel Carter felt that his cultivation had improved again, his whole body filled with a powerful sense of strength.

Activating his Stealth Kill Technique, Nathaniel Carter carefully moved toward the cave entrance.

“Haha, beauties, let’s see where you can run now!”

“Surround them! Bring them back, destroy their divine sense, and make them my slave girls!”

The leader was an expert at the fifth level of Qi Refining, accompanied by three at the seventh level and four at the sixth.

When Nathaniel Carter looked over, he immediately saw that the leader was a young man, his eyes full of lecherous intent, dressed in fine clothes, constantly fanning himself with a small fan.
