After the flash of travel faded, caused by the Qi in the air being "ignited" by the teleportation-like movement, Xu Tao opened his eyes.
The same familiar scenery of desert sand extending in all directions... and a familiar crater just ahead.
"...I'm back," Xu Tao whispered lightly.
When he was here, he had no cultivation at all, alone, and naked. But now, he's at the 2nd Stage of Qi Gathering, fully equipped, and even with a weapon in hand.
He had nothing to fear!
"First, I need to set up a formation here..."
But of course, before he started looking for monsters, he needed to ensure his way back home. Right now, he's just about 30 kilometers away from their base.
It's an extremely short distance, way too easy for a technique named "Thousand Li Step," implying it could cover hundreds of kilometers in a single step.
