My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"I have a suggestion, I'm not sure if you want to hear it." Mechanical Puppet Xiao A said.

Han Feiyu looked at Mechanical Puppet Xiao A with smoke-infused eyes. In his situation, he didn't want to say any extra words.

"Within the sect, there is a Body Refining Technique known as Hundred Refinement Skill."

"The principle is treating oneself as a magical treasure, refining oneself repeatedly under extreme environments." Mechanical Puppet Xiao A explained.

"Why didn't you suggest that earlier?" Han Feiyu couldn't help but retort, after which, he felt that the tiny bit of moisture in his body started to evaporate slowly.

With dry skin and a skull-like face, Han Feiyu looked no different than the dead.

"There's no spiritual Qi here; you can't cultivate. There's another version of the Hundred Refinement Skill. It's about dying first, and then turning the cadaver into an immortal."

"The benefit of this technique is that after cultivation, you can reverse time to restore the vitality of the corpse and resurrect it."

"It suits your current situation well." As Mechanical Puppet Xiao A spoke, it sent a cultivation manual into Han Feiyu's head.

Han Feiyu stared at the manual for a long time. Finally, as if resigning himself to fate, he began to follow the instructions and use the technique.

Even though there was no spiritual power here, he could refine himself using the heat.

Just as Han Feiyu was about to put this technique into practice, the last bit of water in his body evaporated, and he started to lose consciousness.

At this moment, his jade gourd suddenly emitted a green light and protected him.

With that, the nearly skeletal Han Feiyu slowly regained his vitality and returned to the appearance he had when he first entered this forbidden land.

"Didn't expect you also have a resurrection function." Han Feiyu joyfully stroked his jade gourd, after which he felt the overwhelming heat engulf him.

Han Feiyu's internal hydration started to evaporate again.

"Damn, they're not giving me any chance to survive," Han Feiyu cursed.

He had decided that he would destroy this forbidden land when his cultivation level was high enough in the future, as this place was simply not fit for humans.

"Xiao A, you always saved me in critical moments before, why doesn't it work this time?" Han Feiyu asked.

"I've taken all conditions into account; this forbidden land isn't giving you any chance to live."

"Even if you practice the sinister technique of turning one's corpse into a treasure, you won't be able to withstand until the end." Mechanical Puppet Xiao A said.

"Also, temporary Host, you're at your peak after resurrection, it's better not to waste time. Hurry up, there's only 800 miles to go."

Hearing that there was still 800 miles ahead, the joy of resurrection instantly disappeared from Han Feiyu, and he stared somewhat aggrieved at the distant finish line.

"Is there really no other way?"

Just then, a squeaky sound came from not far away.

A large, fiery red rat emerged from the ground, looked at Han Feiyu, and then retreated back under the ground.

"Xiao A, isn't that the glimmer of life? Why didn't you notice it before?" Han Feiyu complained.

"It's too hot here, already at the limit of what I can bear, I can't scan the underground space." Mechanical Puppet Xiao A seriously replied.

"Alright, now that you see it, can we find a way to catch this rat? All the water or liquid here evaporates instantly once exposed."

"Without supplies, it's impossible for any ordinary human to cross this thousand-mile journey." Han Feiyu mentioned.

"I'm currently thinking of a way~" Mechanical Puppet Xiao A replied.

An hour later, Mechanical Puppet Xiao A held a rat as big as a basketball and walked ahead with Han Feiyu.

"Don't kill this rat now; wait until I'm dying of thirst." Han Feiyu cheerfully said.

Depending on this rat, Han Feiyu managed to survive the thousand-mile journey in the Nine Sun Flame Land by drinking its blood and eating its meat.

Upon arriving at the next forbidden land, tears of emotion streamed down Han Feiyu's cheeks.

He was moved by the resilience he embodied throughout the thousand miles journey.

After the emotions subsided, Han Feiyu began to take in his surroundings.

"This doesn't seem like a forbidden land, does it?" Han Feiyu expressed his doubts.

At that moment, he stood in the middle of a grand hall, where three glowing spheres hung in the air.

"These are rewards for passing the three forbidden lands. Hurry up and choose one, then you may proceed to the next forbidden land." Mechanical Puppet Xiao A advised.

Subsequently, Han Feiyu noticed some instructions written above the glowing spheres.

"Rewards, the best reward for me at the moment would be some rest." Han Feiyu was weary after his ordeal in the Nine Sun Flame Land.

Mechanical Puppet Xiao A pointed to the countdown displayed beneath the light balls. Only a quarter of an hour was given for the reward selection, after which he would be teleported to the next forbidden land.

"Alright then~"

With a sigh, Han Feiyu spontaneously selected the sphere in the middle.

He did not much care for the reward, but he wouldn't pass up on a freeloader.

The light ball vanished, revealing an Acquired Spiritual Treasure Mirror in front of Han Feiyu.

"An acquired spiritual treasure, quite a substantial reward." Han Feiyu reached out to the mirror.

In a flash, information about the treasure mirror flashed across his mind.

"This is a communication magical weapon that can connect the Three Thousand Realms?" Han Feiyu exclaimed in shock.

Following that, various pieces of information began to automatically project on the mirror.

The most eye-catching ones were major events happening within the Three Thousand Realms.

"To all fellow Daoists, it's best not to visit the Northern Stone Gate of the Outer World."

"The Heavenly Sea Fairy Realm has been occupied by the Demon Race. The Saint of the Demon Race in this fairy realm has declared that the Human Clan is prohibited from entering."

"Five Da Luo True Dragons of the Dragon Clan were suppressed by a Golden Immortal in the Wood Origin Immortal World. Another formidable being has emerged amongst the Human Clan."

"The Tianding Commerce Guild is offering a hefty reward to recruit a craftsman capable of crafting innate spirit treasures."

"The Tianyun Business Association has been plagued by frequent accidents recently and is suspected to be targeted by the Heavenly Dao from various realms."

"Once again, the Lord of the Da Qian Immortal Dynasty provokes the Dragon Clan: Come at me!"

"Regent Princess of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty finds her true love after longing for tens of thousands of years, the Regent King of Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty returns."

Looking at all sorts of information, Han Feiyu was momentarily stunned.

He then shook off his initial shock, and eagerly switched back to read the news about the five Da Luo True Dragons being suppressed by a Golden Immortal.

"It couldn't be my Grand Master, could it?" Han Feiyu's hand naturally tapped on that news item.

The screen switched to a new page with detailed information about the incident.

"My God! It really is my Grand Master." Han Feiyu exclaimed in astonishment.

"My Grand Master is peerless, dominating all realms single-handedly!"

Han Feiyu yelled in exhilaration, only to be overcome by a sudden surge of longing.

"I miss my sect so much, I long to see my Grand Master. There have been so many happenings within the sect, it's such a pity that I missed it all."

At that moment, Han Feiyu felt that upgrading Jade Gourd to Primordial Treasure was not as important anymore.
