Chapter 91: The World Is Vast, But Our Vision Is Narrow!

Rod didn’t know how long he had slept. It felt like an eternity, yet also like just a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed and full of energy. It had been a long time since he’d had such a comfortable sleep!
A faint fragrance reached his nostrils, bringing a sense of warmth. Looking around, he found himself in a magnificent cave, with a pink bed adorned with various gems and jades, shining brightly. The entire room was filled with a gentle scent of flowers and women’s perfume.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. His confused expression turned into shock as he realized where he was. He realized this place was the territory of that terrifying woman, and this cave must be her room. He had actually slept in her room! The thought filled him with fear—he never expected he would fall into a coma in front of her.
Fen Tian—upon waking, Rod thought of Fen Tian first. Not knowing what had happened to Ruguo, he jumped up from the bed in urgency and rushed outside.
Roaring sounds reached his ears. What he saw outside the cave surprised and astonished Rod—Fen Tian was fighting fiercely against a woman! Without hesitation, Rod drew out Dark Dragon and charged forward.
“Kid, you’re awake. Do you think your injuries aren’t serious enough?” The woman was slightly stunned by Rod’s appearance and asked with a smirk.
But Rod ignored her, staring at her warily. “Weren’t you supposed to spare Fen Tian? What do you want now?”
“Hehe, this little guy is quite interesting. I’ll use him to practice. Right now, he’s at a bottleneck—his soul body isn’t strong enough. If I can strengthen it through training, I believe his power, thanks to the abundant energy within him, could reach a higher level.” Hearing Rod’s words, the woman showed a hint of surprise before forcing a bitter smile. At that moment, she realized the little guy had misunderstood her.

Slightly stunned, Rod found it hard to believe the woman’s words—could she really be that kind? He didn’t think so! Yet the situation did seem somewhat strange. As the woman stopped, Fen Tian also ceased its movements. Turning to look at Fen Tian, Rod secretly smiled wryly—it seemed he had indeed judged her by his own petty standards. By now, Fen Tian was much better than before; the sense of weakness had vanished, and it had regained its usual fierce appearance! Seeing Rod awake, it immediately came close to him affectionately, rubbing against his body.

“I’m sorry, I misunderstood!” Rod apologized with an awkward smile, realizing he had misinterpreted her intentions.

“It’s fine. You’ve been asleep for three days—take your time to wake up properly. Remember, you still owe me one thing!” Her expression returned to its usual indifference as she glanced at Rod and Fen Tian, a barely noticeable complexity flashing in her eyes. Then she turned and walked back into the cave, leaving a message for Rod.

“I’ll definitely not refuse if it’s within my ability!” Rod replied promptly, knowing he wouldn’t go back on his promises.

The following time passed leisurely. Every day, Fen Tian practiced with the woman, and it was clear she valued Fen Tian greatly. Their battles were always intense. Used to this routine, Rod enjoyed the peace and often joined the combat scenes to fight alongside Fen Tian! But things never went as planned. Even his strongest move, Dragon Roar, which was powerful against the Black Dragon, proved utterly ineffective against her—completely useless! Once again witnessing her strength, Rod couldn’t help but marvel in silence. Truly a monster—her strength might not be the greatest on the continent, but she was definitely among the top three.

“Kid, your strength is still weak. To protect what’s important to you, you need great power. Without strength, you have no right. You should understand this. If you don’t want to regret it, train hard! This forest is a good place—it’ll help you a lot!” After each training session, the woman would leave him with these words. But through observation, Rod noticed that her gaze and expression became strange whenever she said this—seemingly nostalgic, as if recalling something. A hint of longing and sadness occasionally appeared in her eyes. From this, Rod guessed that the woman must have had extraordinary past experiences!

As for that promise, the woman never mentioned it again, never saying what she intended to do, as if she had forgotten. Yet Rod knew it might just be that the timing wasn’t right.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Rod lived in this cave, and the woman treated him fairly—she even created another cave for him to live in! It was spacious and comfortable, though much simpler. In the woman’s words, “If you want luxury, make it yourself; your treasures aren’t any less than mine!” Fortunately, Rod had no desire for such things.

Over those three months, Rod gradually adapted to the six-thousand-fold gravity. Through daily training, he could feel his strength improving rapidly! Fighting against powerful opponents at the edge of life and death was the best way to enhance one’s abilities!

On another note, the Silver Moon Lake became Rod’s place for physical training. Under the woman’s guidance, he used the bone-chilling water of the lake to strengthen his body. The alternating heat and cold not only made his physique stronger but also refined his internal energy, with his energy vortex growing slightly larger than when it first formed. The results were undeniable.

At this point, Rod even felt as if he could faintly touch the barrier between him and the later stage of the Sacred level! Though it was illusory, it was real. Rod knew that in a short time, he might be able to reach that level. The speed of cultivation here was truly terrifying! The effect of six-thousand-fold gravity was indeed remarkable.

…

“When can we start that?” After fighting against the woman as usual until his combat energy was exhausted, Rod arrived at her side, panting. Seeing her about to leave, he couldn’t help but ask. It had been three months since he arrived here, meaning he had been in this forest for a total of one year and one month. He couldn’t stay in this area any longer; there was a vast world beyond. Having adapted to this gravity, he needed to move forward! More importantly, the sense of summons grew stronger as he delved deeper. Rod felt an urge to find its source as soon as possible to see what could have such an impact on him.

“It’s not yet time. Your strength isn’t enough!” The woman dismissed Rod’s question with a simple reply.

Seeing Rod’s frustrated and puzzled expression, she pondered for a moment before stopping and turning to face him. “This world is vast. Don’t think just because you’re strong now that you’re formidable. Perhaps out there, you might be considered a strong warrior—your current strength is enough to easily defeat someone at the late saint level. But that’s just surface-level. There must be many god-level warriors on your continent! They’re all stronger than you. Take this forest alone—me, Sognar, and those old guys are not opponents you can match. Let’s talk about this again when you reach the god level!” With a sigh, the woman gazed at the distant forest and spoke in a low voice. It was the first time Rod had seen her with such a worried expression.

“What exactly is it?” Rod frowned and couldn’t help but press further. His current strength wasn’t enough to reach the god level? Two god-level warriors! One of them even at the late god level, not to mention that Furnace Sky was around—was that really necessary? With such a combination, it wouldn’t be surprising if they dominated the continent, right?

“Don’t doubt my words! Is the god level really that strong? At least in this forest, there are six people who can easily defeat me! I’m no match for them!” Seeming to read Rod’s thoughts, the woman smiled self-mockingly before saying weakly.

These words made Rod’s eyes widen in disbelief. Six people could easily defeat someone at the late god level? Was it someone at the peak of the late god level? Even then, it shouldn’t be that easy! If she was so cautious, it meant it must be true!

“You must think the god level is very strong! Do you think it’s the ultimate goal? Your vision of the world is too narrow! Many things will become clear once you reach the god level. The road ahead is still long; this is just the beginning. Those old guys have already surpassed the god level! In fact, on the outer continents, I can sense that there are many such strong warriors—only they disdain to intervene at this stage!” Looking at the stunned Rod, the woman left those final words before turning and walking back into the cave.

Rod opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. Was the divine level just a beginning? What was above that? Existences beyond the divine level—everything sounded absurd, yet it was undeniable. What kind of realm lay beyond the divine level? Could this be the kind of opponent they would face? Shocked inwardly, his mind in turmoil left Rod speechless. What he had heard today was truly overwhelming, shattering all his previous beliefs. Only then did he realize the woman’s words: his world was too small, while this world was vast. Perhaps that was indeed the case—only those who had reached that level could understand the meaning of these words.
