Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen 155 Chapter 152: The Uncertain Plan

"So it doesn't matter if that man found the Sword out not. The fact remains that the sword is missing. I don't think it will be easy to find that sword, but if I could find it, I would use it if there was a possibility of saving father and stopping this from happening," Xu Ming muttered.

"You can always try to comprehend the Law of Time, but I don't even understand where to start. There haven't been many who formed time essence, let alone comprehending a law of time. It might be luck," Valeria said.

"I will try to find things about the Law of Time to get more understanding about him. There must be someone or something that holds the knowledge that could help me," Xu Ming muttered.

They sat there in silence, resting.

Xu Ming closed his eyes as he felt the cold wind brushing against his skin, providing him with comfort.

The moment seemed as if it was stopped in time. Xu Ming finally felt somewhat calm in his heart. He was just half a step away from entering the Core Sect, and he also knew how to get the cure for his mother. Things were finally looking like they were falling in their place.

He rested for a few more hours before he stood up and continued ahead in search of more beasts. His energy was restored, and he was feeling fresh. 

He had twenty-seven Peak Gold Core Realm beasts in his storage ring already, and he only needed twenty-three more.

After some search, he found more beasts. 

Throughout the day, Xu Ming kept searching for beasts and hunting them.

By the time it was night, he already had 32 beasts in his Storage Ring.

He stopped hunting when it was night and found a place to sleep.

"It was a great day. We not only broke yesterday's records but went way above that—19 beasts in a day. If we go by this rate, by tomorrow night, we will be done with this place. I want to leave this place so badly. It's boring," Valeria said to Xu Ming.

"I'll try to finish it tomorrow. Then we will leave this place and go to a new place. The Core Sect should be a good place. After I get my mother back, we can think about what to do next," Xu Ming muttered.

Previously he used to think that he would leave the sect after getting the necklace back, but he realized that staying in the sect had helped him a lot. Even though the sect didn't have Origin Energy Crystals, they could help him; the Sect did have many other resources. The only downside was that he would constantly be under people's radar after getting to the core sect. 

He wanted to plan properly about what to do next after getting the necklace. He might even be able to get a few good things from the sect if he stayed here for some time.

He talked with Valeria for some time before Valeria told him to go to sleep. She said that he was wasting precious time by not sleeping. 

Valeria had offered to stay up again to protect him when he slept.

Xu Ming listened to her and closed his eyes. After some time, he fell asleep.

The night passed away in silence, and the Sun rose in the sky.

Xu Ming woke up from his slumber as the first ray of light fell on him.

He stretched his arm as he yawned.

"Good Morning."

Valeria greeted him as she saw Xu Ming waking up.

"Good Morning. You can go to sleep now," Xu Ming said.

Before she could say anything, he continued speaking.

"Don't give me an excuse like last time. Just sleep like a good girl. You can rest while I look for more beasts. You can at least get the sleep for a few hours till I find a beast," he said.

Valeria nodded.

"Can you stay here like this until I fall asleep? I like sleeping on your lap," She said.

"Alright," Xu Ming told her.

Valeria was already sitting on his leg, but she closed her eyes and laid down.

Xu Ming watched her sleep. After some time, she fell asleep.

After making sure that she was actually sleepy, Xu Ming shifted her to his palm and carried her with him as he walked forth.

He walked through the forest for over 2 hours, but he didn't find any Peak Gold Realm  beast. 

It was the 3rd hour when he finally noticed one from his Divine Sense.

There was a 3 Horned Dark Deer sleeping near a tree.

"hey, Valeria. Wake up. I found something," Xu Ming tried to wake up Valeria.

He didn't want to put her down as another beast might come and harm her.

After some time, Valeria woke up.

"Did you find the target?" she asked.

"Yes. I found the target. It's a 3 Horned Dark Deer around 150 meters away from us," Xu Ming said.

"Oh, what're we waiting for then. Let's get to hunting," Valeria said with a wide smile on her face as she flew up and sat on his shoulders.

Xu Ming smiled as he saw her enthusiasm. 

He brought his Gold Grade Sword out of his storage ring and started walking towards the 3 Horned Dark Deer.

The 3 Horned Dark Deer heard the sound of footsteps and woke up as he looked in the direction of Xu Ming.

After some time, Xu Ming and the 3 Horned Dark Deer were facing each other. Both of them are only 30 meters away from each other.

"Can you cast a barrier around it to prevent it from leaving? I want to take this fight easy without wasting much energy," Xu Ming said.

"Of Course. You already know that I have the skill," Valeria said as she grinned.

She used her martial skill as she pointed her finger towards the 3 Horned Dark Deer.

A barrier appeared around the 3 Horned Dark Deer that was around 10 meters in diameter.

The Deer tried to break the barrier with brute strength, but it didn't work.

"Hurry. The barrier might break," Valeria said to Xu Ming.

"Release the barrier when my attack reaches it," Xu Ming said as he got into a sword stance.

He started using his Origin Energy.

"3rd Strike of Heaven!" Xu Ming let out as he swung his sword.

A powerful arc of light left his sword and flew towards the 3 Horned Dark Deer.

As soon as this attack reached near the barrier, Valeria stopped her spell.
