Chapter 181: The Attention of the Source Sect's Sect Master

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After entering the Source Sect's Elders Hall, Xu Ning found that there were already many people inside.

They gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices.

'The weakest is in the common seal realm…'

Xu Ning looked around.

Those who could appear here were either elders of the Source Sect, elders of the big families, or invited guests.

These people, including Xu Ning, would be sitting in the Source Sect's highest stands later; they could be said to be the people with the highest status in this conference.

If Xu Ning's strength was not in the common seal realm, even if Wei Xingfeng invited him, he would not be able to come here.

"Little Friend Xu Ning."

Before Xu Ning and Wei Xingfeng could stand still, Zhou Weichen walked over with a smile.

"Senior Zhou."

Xu Ning cupped his fists and greeted.

Ever since his son advanced to the common seal realm, Zhou Weichen had been in a good mood.

"I heard from Family Head Wei that you almost entered the Source Sect, what a shame…"

Zhou Weichen sighed.

"Life has its own ups and downs, it's neither good nor bad."

Xu Ning said.

"Xu Ning, since this is your first time here, let's take you to meet some friends."

Wei Xingfeng said, "If you can build a good relationship with the people here, then there is almost nothing you can't do in State Feiyun."

Afterwards, Wei Xingfeng and Zhou Weichen introduced Xu Ning to friends or elders of the Source Sect.

These people were surprised by Xu Ning's martial arts realm. When they then learned that Xu Ning was the alchemist who refined those high-quality medicinal pills in the Wei Trading Company, they were all very polite to Xu Ning.

Although everyone was embarrassed to ask Xu Ning to refine medicinal pills, they secretly planned to deepen their relationship with Xu Ning.

A high-level alchemist was far more valuable than a high-level martial artist.

Xiang Nanchun was just a qualitative change realm martial artist, but his status was even higher than Huang Zongshao because of his excellent alchemy skills.

"Xu Ning, this is Granny Wu Lanqiong, Head of the Wu family."

Wei Xingfeng led Xu Ning to an old woman.

The old woman looked skinny and her face was full of wrinkles. She looked like she was dying.

However, her eyes were deep and kind, making people respect her from afar.

When Wei Xingfeng and Zhou Weichen stood next to her, they were like two young children with humble attitudes.

"Greetings, Senior Wu."

Xu Ning could feel that this old woman was in the void realm ninth stage.

The Wu family was the head of the six families under the Source Sect. There were several clan elders in the family who were also elders of the Source Sect. The depth of their family's foundation was unrivaled by ordinary families.

Wu Qingfu, who had some conflict with Xu Ning before, was a member of the Wu family.

"Little Friend Xu Ning, it's rare for you to have such achievements at such a young age."

Wu Lanqiong looked at Xu Ning with a kind smile.

When Xu Ning was talking to other people just now, she had heard a little about Xu Ning.

"Senior Wu is too kind."

Xu Ning could feel the simplicity of age from Wu Lanqiong.

At Wu Lanqiong's age, even if one was a void realm martial artist, they might have reached the end of their life.

"Are you from another state?"

Wu Lanqiong asked Xu Ning like an ordinary old woman.

"No, I'm from State Feiyun."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"You are from State Feiyun?"

There was a look of surprise in Wu Lanqiong's eyes. "I have heard of most young geniuses in State Feiyun in the past hundred years, but I have never heard of your name."

"Although I am from State Feiyun, the main advancements of my martial arts took place in State Jifeng."

Xu Ning responded.

"I knew it…" Wu Lanqiong smiled, causing the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes to overlap. "Which sect are you from in State Jifeng? "

"Yuelan Sect."

Xu Ning did not hide anything.

Wu Lanqiong said, "Many years ago, I went to State Jifeng and met many people from the Yuelan Sect, but I don't know if they are still alive…"

"Who is the current leader of the Yuelan Sect?"

Wu Lanqiong asked.

"It's my master, Mi Xingye."

Xu Ning did not hide his identity. With his current strength, there was almost no need to hide anything.

As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, Wei Xingfeng and Zhou Weichen looked at him.

They knew that Xu Ning came from a large sect in State Jifeng, but they didn't expect him to be the disciple of the Yuelan Sect's Sect Master.

The Yuelan Sect was a big sect in State Jifeng, and was quite famous in the outer states.

"Mi Xingye?"

Wu Lanqiong narrowed her eyes and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face. "I still remember him. Back then, he was just a high-spirited young man, I didn't expect him to have already become a sect master…"

Wu Lanqiong stared at Xu Ning as if she was thinking about something.

At this moment.

"Sect Master Feng is here."

Someone suddenly shouted.

Xu Ning looked at the door.

A silver-haired old man walked in. He had a straight back and was wearing a long coat. He was energetic as he walked steadily.

"Sect Master Feng!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"…"

As soon as he came in, everyone in the Elders Hall surrounded him.

"Source Sect's Sect Master, Feng Xiu…"

The moment Xu Ning saw Feng Xiu, he felt a huge pressure boring down on him.

Even with a dao weapon, he still felt this kind of pressure.

'This Feng Xiu is stronger than my master Mi Xingye… In this case, he should be a half-step dao realm master…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Feng Xiu took the initiative to walk next to Wu Lanqiong.

"Sister Wu, you're here too."

Feng Xiu was very polite to Wu Lanqiong.

"The sect conference is held every three years. I don't know how many more times I can attend it, so of course I have to come."

Wu Lanqiong's tone seemed to be mocking herself.

Feng Xiu smiled and felt a little sad.

Wu Lanqiong had no hope of breaking through to the dao realm, so her life span was only 150 years.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Feng Xiu noticed Xu Ning. "You look unfamiliar."

"Junior Xu Ning greets Sect Master Feng."

Xu Ning quickly introduced himself.

"Xu Ning is from State Feiyun, but he cultivated in State Jifeng. He comes from the Yuelan Sect, and his master is Mi Xingye."

Wu Lanqiong took the initiative to tell Feng Xiu before Xu Ning could introduce himself.

Feng Xiu's eyebrows moved.

Afterwards, Feng Xiu heard a voice transmitted straight into his ears.

"This child may be our bond with State Jifeng."

It was Wu Lanqiong's voice, but only Feng Xiu could hear it.

"Let him be the bond between the Source Sect and State Jifeng… It does seem appropriate…"

Feng Xiu glanced at Xu Ning from top to bottom.

Xu Ning was confused by Feng Xiu's glance.

Feng Xiu's eyes seemed to be scrutinizing him.

"Okay, the sect conference is about to begin, let's go to the stands."

Feng Xiu looked away from Xu Ning. "Xu Ning, you shall follow me."

After Feng Xiu said this, Wei Xingfeng, Zhou Weichen, and everyone else looked at Xu Ning with surprise.

Sect Master Feng was obviously trying to raise Xu Ning's status in front of everyone.

"Understood."

Xu Ning was puzzled, but he still chose to obey.

Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong walked side by side. Xu Ning was half a step behind them and the others followed behind Xu Ning.

This feeling made Xu Ning feel strange.

He, an outsider, was actually in front of the group of elders.

Feiyun Square.

This was the place where the Source Sect would hold their conference.

When Xu Ning saw this, he remembered the scene of him participating in the demon slaying conference at the Yuelan Sect.

"The elders are here!"

"I saw my family head!"

"…"

When Feng Xiu led the crowd into the venue, Feiyun Square was suddenly full of cheers.

As the Sect Master of the Source Sect, Feng Xiu enjoyed great prestige in Yunying City and even in the entire State Feiyun.

Almost every disciple of the Source Sect regarded Feng Xiu as their highest goal on the path of cultivation.

"Who is that young man? Why is he with the Sect Master?"

"Could he be the new disciple of the Sect Master?"

"Impossible, even a new disciple can't possibly sit in the highest stands."

"…"

At this moment, many people noticed Xu Ning who was behind Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong.

Many people began to discuss Xu Ning.

"Qingfu, what's wrong?"

Somewhere in the crowd, Wu Qingfu was stunned on the spot. He didn't even react when his colleagues patted him.

"That person, he is…"

Wu Qingfu had already recognized Xu Ning.

After the conflict with Xu Ning and the others, he sent someone to investigate.

He finally figured it out. His subordinates told him that Xu Ning was the alchemist who was staying with the Wei family.

Hearing this, Wu Qingfu let out a sigh of relief. Although the other party was obviously extremely strong and was an alchemist, as a disciple of the Wu family, as long as he did not provoke the alchemist, the alchemist would definitely not take revenge against him.

Wu Qingfu thought that this matter would be over, but he didn't expect Xu Ning to appear at the Source Sect's sect conference, and also appear at the highest stands behind the Sect Master Feng Xiu and the Family Head Granny.

This shocked Wu Qingfu.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was in big trouble.

When Wu Qingfu noticed Xu Ning, Xu Ning also saw Wu Qingfu in the crowd.

His gaze paused on Wu Qingfu for a moment, then he gently shook his head and looked away.

"Xu Ning, you seem to know my young ones?"

Wu Lanqiong noticed this.

"We had a little interaction."

Xu Ning replied but he didn't say anything about the conflict.

It would be embarrassing to say it in this situation.

Wu Lanqiong glanced at Xu Ning and pondered.

"Ah Zhen…"

Wu Lanqiong said to the Wu family elder behind her, "Although Qingfu is talented, his temperament is unstable. After the sect conference, transfer him out of Yunying City and train him."

"Understood."

The clan elder called Ah Zhen quickly responded.

Clan Elder Ah Zhen knew very well that from this moment onwards, Wu Qingfu had been removed from being a core member of the Wu family..

Chapter 182: Fighting the Source Sect Number One True Disciple!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Ning heard the conversation between Wu Lanqiong and Elder Ah Zhen clearly.

Although Wu Lanqiong did not say it explicitly, Xu Ning understood her intentions.

If there were no accidents, Wu Qingfu, who had offended him before, would probably struggle to survive for a long time.

At the same time, Xu Ning sighed at Wu Lanqiong's sharpness.

She could guess his relationship with Wu Qingfu just by looking at his expression and his emotionless words.

'As expected of someone who had experienced the hardships of life…'

Xu Ning sighed in his heart.

"Xu Ning, you are from State Jifeng's Yuelan Sect, so you are also from a large sect."

Feng Xiu said, "Today, you can take a good look at the disciples of the Source Sect and see if their performance is worthy of your attention."

"Sect Master Feng must be joking."

Xu Ning smiled.

Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong led Xu Ning and the others to sit down.

Afterwards, the elders of the Source Sect began to announce the process of the conference.

The core of a martial arts sect conference was naturally a competition of strength.

The outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples would all spar.

Those who performed well in the sect conference would be rewarded with medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, and other resources.

Those who were extremely outstanding could even be promoted.

Soon, the sect conference began.

First was the competition between outer disciples and inner disciples.

Xu Ning secretly compared the fight between the outer disciples and the inner disciples.

He discovered that the outer and inner disciples of the Source Sect were relatively better than the disciples of the Yuelan Sect. Moreover, there were more of them.

Overall, the Source Sect's foundation was indeed stronger than the Yuelan Sect.

Time flew by, several hours went by in the blink of an eye.

Although Xu Ning was sitting on the high stands, he did not feel tired. Among the disciples who competed, there were always outstanding people, which allowed Xu Ning to feel the martial intent of ordinary warriors and martial artists.

Finally, in the afternoon, the true disciples began to compete.

'The number of current true disciples in the Source Sect is similar to that of the Yuelan Sect, but this is all because of the different selection rules… In the Source Sect, after reaching the void realm fourth stage, one can automatically receive the status of a true disciple, but it is different for the Yuelan Sect. As long as the elders value them, even a mortal realm martial artist can become a true disciple…'

Xu Ning thought.

He discovered that the Source Sect had nearly half more disciples between the qualitative change realm and the attribute realm than the Yuelan Sect. The number of upper-level disciples they possessed was greater than what the Yuelan Sect possessed.

But when comparing the top disciples, the Yuelan Sect was not at all inferior.

There were four disciples in the Source Sect above the common seal realm: one in the true intent realm, and three in the common seal realm.

In the current Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning and his senior brother, He Mingye, were the only two people above the common seal realm, but both of them were at the peak of the true intent realm.

If it was compared like this, Yuelan Sect even had a slight advantage.

"Today's true disciples performed well."

After Feng Xiu watched the true disciples spar, he stroked his beard and smiled. He was very satisfied with them.

"Wenren Bo is about to take action."

Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong leaned forward slightly at the same time, as if they were looking forward to Wenren Bo.

'Wenren Bo?'

Xu Ning followed their gaze and looked at a young man in white, who was holding an emerald bamboo stick.

This person looked to be close to 30 years old. He had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and was handsome. As soon as he appeared, he attracted countless cheers.

Whether it was the outer disciples, inner disciples, or even true disciples, they all looked at him with sincere respect.

'So he's that true intent realm martial artist…'

Xu Ning had noticed him before, he just didn't know his identity. "This person should be the first true disciple of the Source Sect…"

Wenren Bo jumped on the stage and greeted the true disciple in the common seal realm.

Afterwards, the two began to fight.

This was a fight that had a complete lack of suspense. Whether it was martial arts realm or secret technique realm, Wenren Bo was far ahead of his opponent.

He held the emerald green bamboo stick in his hand and countless green shadows danced in the air, restricting his opponent's movements.

Wenren Bo didn't even use true intent. He just relied on the power of his attributes to achieve a perfect suppression, causing his opponent to be powerless to fight back.

After a dozen moves, Wenren Bo won.

"Brother Wenren's strength is outstanding, I admit defeat."

After the disciple was defeated by Wenren Bo, he did not seem disappointed.

After all, he had already expected this situation before they even exchanged blows.

"Compared to half a year ago, Junior Brother has improved greatly. In time, you will definitely break through to the true intent realm. At that time, let's fight again."

Wenren Bo was neither arrogant nor impatient.

"Wenren Bo is a good kid."

Wu Lanqiong didn't hide her praise for Wenren Bo. "His younger brother, Wenren Jin, performed well previously. Although Wenren Jin is only in the qualitative change realm, he will probably break through to the common seal realm in a few years. By then, the two of them will be the strongest young force in the Source Sect."

"Yeah…"

Feng Xiu nodded.

After Wenren Bo defeated the common seal realm disciple, he glanced at Xu Ning, then looked away.

Seeing this, Xu Ning narrowed his eyes.

"Xu Ning, the number one true disciple of my sect seems to want to compete with you…"

Feng Xiu also noticed this so he smiled and said, "Every year, the strongest true disciple who defeats all of his fellow disciples has the qualifications to challenge the one of the members of the highest viewing stands. I think Wenren Bo is aiming for you…"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

No one told him before this that he could be challenged in the stands.

On the side, Wei Xingfeng was worried about Xu Ning when he heard Feng Xiu's words.

He had forgotten about the fact that the strongest true disciple could challenge the members on the Sect Master's viewing stands. After all, in previous years, this process was just formality.

Because most of the people in the stands were seniors, so after getting challenged, regardless of whether they were stronger than the other party, they would take the initiative to admit defeat. This was actually the process of the new generation and old generation acknowledging each other, and also the process of the old generation helping the newcomers build prestige and preparing them to take over.

But when Wenren Bo looked at Xu Ning just now, he didn't look like he was looking at a senior.

Xu Ning was sitting next to Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong so he was being watched by thousands of people. Wenren Bo must have taken Xu Ning seriously.

"If I can really fight against the Source Sect's number one true disciple, it would be a blessing."

Xu Ning was calm and composed.

Xu Ning's current strength was already at the peak of the true intent realm.

Moreover, after refining a large number of Pure Source Pills and other medicinal pills, Xu Ning absorbed close to 20,000 units of energy. Because it required 85,000 units of energy to advance to the true domain realm, Xu Ning first advanced his four secret techniques and the Life Pill Sutra, consuming a total of 16,000 units of energy.

Four secret techniques at the eighth level, plus the peak of the true intent realm. With this strength, even without using a dao weapon, Xu Ning could easily suppress Wenren Bo.

Afterwards, Wen Renbo fought with the two other void realm martial artists, and he won both matches easily.

The position of Wenren Bo as Source Sect's number one true disciple was almost unmovable.

"Wenren Bo, according to past rules, you can challenge anyone in the highest stands."

The elder hosting the conference said to Wenren Bo, "You can challenge anyone, even the Sect Master."

Wenren Bo stood on the stage and looked up at the highest stands. "I want to challenge the person next to the Sect Master!"

His tone was full of fighting spirit.

After seeing Wenren Bo choose Xu Ning as his opponent without hesitation, the disciples were excited again.

The disciples of the Source Sect were all elites of State Feiyun, and everyone thought highly of themselves.

Unless someone was like Wenren Bo and used their true strength to defeat them, they would have a sense of pride when facing anyone, especially when facing their peers.

Ever since they saw Xu Ning sitting next to Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong, these disciples were a little unhappy.

Now that Wenren Bo took the initiative to challenge him, they were all excited.

These Source Sect disciples were extremely confident in Wenren Bo.

"Sure enough, Xu Ning, Wenren Bo chose to challenge you, do you accept?"

Feng Xiu asked Xu Ning, his eyes filled with slight anticipation.

"Naturally."

Under everyone's eyes, Xu Ning flicked his sleeves and jumped onto the platform with a soft landing.

Xu Ning and Wenren Bo were both wearing white robes.

"Source Sect's true disciple, Wenren Bo."

Wenren Bo took the initiative to introduce himself to Xu Ning.

After Xu Ning approached, Wenren Bo felt an invisible pressure crashing into him. Xu Ning did not hide his aura, so Wenren Bo could clearly sense the strength of a true intent realm martial artist on him.

"Yuelan Sect's true disciple, Xu Ning."

As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, the crowd was noisy again.

Almost everyone was whispering with excited expressions.

The Yuelan Sect was a top sect in State Jifeng, so most of the disciples here had heard of it.

A fight between the number one sect disciple of State Feiyun and the number one sect disciple of State Jifeng was rarely seen.

"A true disciple of the Yuelan Sect…"

Unknowingly, Wenren Bo felt a sense of pressure.

He knew very well that against the true disciple of the Yuelan Sect, besides victory and defeat, he also had the expectations of the disciples of his sect on his shoulders.

'I can't lose this battle.'

A high fighting spirit appeared in Wenren Bo's eyes.

He was the top genius of State Feiyun. He had a tenacious nature. No matter how much pressure he faced, he could still turn it into motivation.

"Brother Xu, please enlighten me!"

Wenren Bo held the bamboo stick and prepared himself.

Xu Ning stood still. "Then please."

On the stands.

"Sister Wu, who do you think will win?"

Feng Xiu took the initiative to ask.

"Hard to say."

Wu Lanqiong said, "Both of them are true intent realm martial artists. The winner depends on the cultivation of their secret techniques."

"That's true…"

Feng Xiu nodded. "Xu Ning should be a water and fire dual attribute martial artist. He has the advantage when facing a peer in the same martial arts realm, but the secret techniques of a dual attribute martial artist are relatively difficult to cultivate. I wonder how far he can go…"

The two stopped talking and looked at the stage..

Chapter 183: Crazy Confrontation, Victory

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Swish!

Wenren Bo took the lead.

He stepped forward and a layer of emerald qi condensed on the surface of the emerald bamboo stick in his hand.

Next to Xu Ning, countless dense green shadows turned into vine-like entities and wrapped around him, swallowing Xu Ning like a giant beast.

Xu Ning did not panic at all. The moment the green vines wrapped around him, the Water Cross Sword's seal and the Bright Fire Sword's seal suddenly appeared, completely tearing the green vines apart.

'A dual attribute secret technique has been cultivated to this level?'

Wenren Bo realized Xu Ning's strength.

He had practiced his wood attribute secret technique to the eighth level, and Xu Ning's secret technique easily shattered it. This showed that Xu Ning had practiced these two secret techniques to at least the eighth level.

'This Xu Ning not only cultivated a highly difficult dual attribute secret scroll, but he also has trained his secret techniques of each attribute to the eighth level. How much energy does he have, and how ridiculous is his aptitude…'

After Wenren Bo failed, he did not stop.

He waved the bamboo stick and true qi with attribute power attacked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning continued to use the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword to deal with the attacks.

Below the stage.

"Senior Brother Wenren is full of momentum. He is completely suppressing this core disciple of the Yuelan Sect!"

"Not bad, it seems that the geniuses of State Feiyun are stronger than State Jifeng!"

All this time, Xu Ning had not been taking the initiative to attack. He had just been receiving attacks passively. From an outsider's perspective, he seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"No, from the beginning to the end, that person never took the initiative to attack. He blocked all of Senior Brother Wenren's moves with almost no effort, so Senior Brother Wenren will definitely go through a difficult battle!"

At this time, some people with better vision noticed something.

Although Wenren Bo's assault was like a violent storm, Xu Ning could calmly block it.

Whoosh!

Wenren Bo attacked again, but Xu Ning easily blocked it again.

"Brother Wenren's moves look fierce, but your methods are too weak!"

Xu Ning chuckled. "Even with the help of true intent, the nature of your wood attribute entanglement is still not enough."

Xu Ning did not show any mercy to Wenren Bo.

Wenren Bo did not refute.

"Brother Wenren, take a look at my technique!"

Xu Ning's aura suddenly burst out.

He had been deliberately withdrawing his aura, but now, he stood on the spot like an unsheathed sword.

The disciples in the front row felt that they couldn't even open their eyes, as if they were enveloped by countless sword lights.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The sword seals of the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword were almost tangible. Strange patterns flowed on the surface of the swords, enhancing them with true intent.

"Ha!"

Xu Ning shouted.

A rain of swords, mixed with red and blue, suddenly fell from the sky.

'What a strong pressure!'

A layer of emerald green membrane appeared on Wenren Bo's body.

Although he tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by a lot of sword seals. The emerald membrane on his body flickered as though it was going to break at any time.

'Xu Ning's true qi and attribute power are so strong!'

Wu Lanqiong sat up straight and looked at the stage. "To be able to use such a powerful combat technique without showing any signs of exhaustion, his foundation is comparable to some true domain realm martial artists!"

"That's right!"

Feng Xiu praised, "If he used a dao weapon, even if he fought me, I might not be able to gain any advantage."

"Could it be that the geniuses in State Feiyun can't compare to the geniuses cultivated in State Jifeng?"

Wu Lanqiong looked a little disappointed.

"Sister Wu, don't panic. Although Xu Ning's performance is outstanding, Wenren Bo may not lose."

Feng Xiu smiled. "Wenren Bo still has a trump card."

"Oh?"

Wu Lanqiong looked forward to it.

Below the stage.

"What happened? Why did Senior Brother Wenren suddenly lose the upper hand?"

"It was easy for Xu Ning to defend against Senior Brother Wenren, but Senior Brother Wenren seems to be unable to resist his sword rain. Is the number one true disciple of State Feiyun so weak?"

"…"

At this moment, Wenren Bo also heard the discussion below the stage.

There was a fierce look in his eyes.

"I wanted to keep this as a trump card, but now I have no choice but to reveal it!"

Wenren Bo suddenly shouted.

Green fluorescent light suddenly burst out from his heart and spread throughout his body.

Bang!

He raised his hands and a green ripple spread out, completely crushing countless sword seals.

Afterwards, Wenren Bo's eyes were full of green light. His true qi surged, shattering the clothes on his upper body, revealing his strong and muscular body.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Muscles pulled and bones rubbed against each other in Wenren Bo's body, while patterns appeared on his skin.

The wood attribute's true intent was directly applied to his physical body.

'Such strong vitality!'

This was the first time Xu Ning had seen such a technique. 'Heis using his body as a secret technique! This is even more extreme than my Flame Breath Bone Sutra.'

"Brother Xu, please take care!"

Wenren Bo spoke with confidence.

Boom!

Wenren Bo instantly shot out, turning into a shadow.

He stretched out his right fist and from his heart, attribute power continuously flowed along his arm and attached itself to his entire fist.

Bang!

Wenren Bo was so fast that Xu Ning couldn't dodge in time.

Xu Ning was sent flying.

'Awesome…'

Xu Ning, who was knocked into the air, did not have a painful expression on his face. Instead, he sighed.

Then, a translucent fiery red armor completely covered Xu Ning's body.

The defensive power of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra was fully displayed.

'Wenren Bo's move directly stimulates the vitality of the wood attribute, increasing his vitality and energy.'

After that exchange, Xu Ning understood. 'In this state, Wenren Bo's physical body has been strengthened, and his attribute power and true qi have also been greatly enhanced. This has even exceeded the limits of the true intent realm.'

'However, there must be a flaw in this powerful technique…'

Xu Ning stood still again and a faint blue membrane appeared on his fist. 'Its flaw is that it cannot be maintained for a long time. It will be over once he is exhausted.'

Kacha!

Xu Ning stomped and web-shaped cracks appeared on the ground.

"Tidal Fist!"

Xu Ning combined the several characteristics he had mastered into one and wrapped the fist seal in his hand. Just like when Wenren Bo attacked him, he retaliated.

Boom!

Xu Ning returned a punch to Wenren Bo.

Wenren Bo's reaction was a little slow, so he was hit by Xu Ning's punch and fell to the ground.

"Good!"

Wenren Bo took his punch and was not affected at all. He easily jumped back up.

The wound he just received was wrapped in green light, healing at a visible speed.

The two looked at each other.

Afterwards, they all turned into afterimages as they exchanged punches.

In an instant, the blue fist shadows and the green fist shadows collided.

Their movements were too fast for the disciples below the stage to see them clearly.

They were even affected by waves of qi, and the weaker ones were already bleeding from the corners of their mouths.

"Not good!"

When the elder host saw this, he quickly joined several elders and sealed off the entire stage.

Ordinary disciples could not withstand the impact of Xu Ning and Wenren Bo's collision.

"How shocking!"

"These juniors have completely surpassed us."

"…"

Most of the disciples below couldn't see the fight clearly, but the common seal realm martial artists on the highest stands could.

As the two swung their fists, the combination of true qi, true intent, and attribute power shocked many seniors.

Xu Ning and Wenren Bo faced each other, neither of them dodging.

Under the crazy confrontation, the two continued to be injured and healed.

Wenren Bo used his power of vitality, while Xu Ning used the power of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.

'He is almost at his limit.'

As time went by, Xu Ning suddenly noticed that Wenren Bo's attacks had weakened.

He was showing signs of exhaustion.

Sure enough, after a few moves, Wenren Bo's lethality decreased.

After a dozen moves, Wenren Bo began to lose track of Xu Ning's movements.

After a dozen more moves, Wenren Bo was blown away before falling heavily to the ground.

He got up with difficulty and was then knocked down by a punch.

Over and over again until Wenren Bo could no longer stand up.

The green patterns on his body began to disappear, and his injuries no longer healed on their own. His aura was dispirited.

"Brother Xu is amazing… I'm ashamed…"

Wenren Bo collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

He knew very well that he had lost.

However, Wenren Bo did not feel pressured. He was satisfied with this battle.

Ever since he advanced to the void realm, it had been a long time since he had experienced such a close fight.

"Brother Wenren, you are too kind."

Xu Ning was still full of energy. He took out two pills and gave them to Wenren Bo to consume.

The current Wenren Bo couldn't move at all.

"Winner, Xu Ning!"

At this moment, the elder host announced the result.

The audience was silent.

The disciples under the stage couldn't see the fight clearly. They only saw Wenren Bo being knocked to the ground over and over again by Xu Ning, unable to get up.

However, although Wenren Bo, who was the hope of the Source Sect disciples, had lost, everyone was not too disappointed.

They also realized that it was not Wenren Bo who was too weak, but that Xu Ning was too strong.

"He still lost…"

Wu Lanqiong sighed, but she was not very disappointed. "But Wenren Bo's performance is no less than yours from back then."

"That is true."

Feng Xiu said, "Although Wenren Bo lost this time, it may not be a bad thing. The disciples of the sect are all arrogant, thinking that they are extraordinary. Now that Xu Ning, a martial artist who grew up in State Jifeng, defeated Wenren Bo, it will be a huge blow to them. At least this would let them know that there are many powerful people outside State Feiyun."

"Sister Wu…"

Feng Xiu looked at Wu Lanqiong and his voice turned into a pitch that entered Wu Lanqiong's ears. "In this case, Xu Ning will be the bond between the two states. We will discuss this with him later."

"Okay."

Wu Lanqiong thought about it and finally nodded..

The Source Sect's sect conference was over.

Xu Ning's victory over Wenren Bo had indeed shocked the Source Sect disciples.

This also caused many Source Sect's disciples to reevaluate their sect and reassess themselves. The focus of their attention began to involve the outer states.

After the sect conference, the big shots in Yunying City all reevaluated Xu Ning's value.

Not only was his martial arts aptitude stronger than the Source Sect's number one true disciple, but he also had extremely strong alchemy skills. With these two points, Xu Ning was raised to equal standing in the hearts of those big shots.

They all knew very well that if Xu Ning was willing, he could even establish his own family clan in State Feiyun and become an overlord of State Feiyun.

However, just when these big shots were about to contact Xu Ning immediately after the sect conference, Xu Ning was called away by Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong.

Source Sect.

Back mountain.

Inside a bamboo house.

Xu Ning was brought here by Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong.

Xu Ning noticed that the two seemed to have something to tell him.

The door of the bamboo house closed. Feng Xiu waved his hand, and Xu Ning immediately felt that the entire bamboo house was enveloped by an invisible force, blocking the outside world.

'A true domain realm technique…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Once a true intent realm martial artist advanced to the true domain realm, their true intent would form a miniature domain with them as the center.

In this domain, a true domain realm martial artist would receive a huge boost in attribute power, while others would be suppressed by the domain.

"Xu Ning, your performance today has truly shocked us old fellows."

Feng Xiu first evaluated Xu Ning. "I was thinking, if only you were a disciple of the Source Sect."

Xu Ning smiled humbly, but before he could answer, Wu Lanqiong said, "It's okay, Xu Ning comes from Kangyun County and is a local of State Feiyun. If he can reach a higher realm, he will still be the pride of State Feiyun."

"Sister Wu is right."

Feng Xiu laughed.

When Xu Ning saw this, he said, "Today, I observed the disciples of the Source Sect. They are energetic and have strong martial arts will. Among them are genius representatives like Wenren Bo and Wenren Jin. The Source Sect is truly the only top sect in State Feiyun."

"Once the young disciples of the Source Sect mature in the future, the Source Sect will become stronger."

Faced with Xu Ning's praise, Feng Xiu first chuckled, then his expression became a little serious. "Yes, only when these young disciples mature can they better deal with the upcoming crisis."

"Crisis?"

Xu Ning acutely noticed the change in Feng Xiu's tone.

'Could Sect Master Feng Xiu be worried about the enemies in State Hurricane?' Xu Ning thought to himself. 'The enemies in State Hurricane are so strong that even the Source Sect feels threatened?'

Although he was puzzled, Xu Ning did not ask. He could tell that Feng Xiu had not finished speaking.

"Xu Ning, have you heard of State Wansheng?"

Suddenly, Feng Xiu changed the topic.

'State Wansheng?'

Xu Ning's heart stirred, then he responded, "I have."

Xu Hujun had told Xu Ning that the original owner of the Demon Beast Scroll, the beast tamer, was from the world's largest state, State Wansheng.

"Then do you know where State Wansheng is?"

Feng Xiu asked again.

Xu Ning frowned. "Um… I don't know."

Xu Ning only knew that State Wansheng was extremely far away, but he didn't know where exactly it was.

"State Wansheng, it is in the south of the Endless Sea Abyss."

Feng Xiu said.

"Endless Sea Abyss?"

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of this place.

"The Endless Sea Abyss is separating State Wansheng from the seventeen states in the Abyss North."

Feng Xiu continued, "North of the Endless Sea Abyss, there are a total of seventeen states, including State Feiyun, State Jifeng, State Hurricane, State Yanshui, and other big states. Although these big states are vast and populous, they are not worth mentioning compared to State Wansheng."

"In State Wansheng, there are many strong martial artists and sects, and their level of prosperity in terms of martial arts far exceeds the level of the seventeen states in the Abyss North. You should have also noticed that it is difficult to find traces of a dao realm master in the seventeen states. Do you know why?"

Feng Xiu asked the question Xu Ning had been wondering about for a long time. "Why is that so?"

"There are two reasons."

Feng Xiu said, "Firstly, it is extremely difficult for a dao realm master to be born in the seventeen states. There are hundreds of millions of people and millions of martial artists, but for hundreds of years, as long as a native master appeared, they would leave behind their names in legend. Moreover, their numbers are already extremely few."

"Secondly, for the dao realm masters in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, a portion of them showed themselves in the chaos among the states 300 years ago and decided to stay temporarily. Otherwise, after their advancement, they would have usually left the seventeen states and crossed the Endless Sea Abyss to go to State Wansheng."

"Because of these two reasons, there are almost no dao realm masters in the seventeen states."

Feng Xiu sighed. "The reason for these two phenomena is because the gap between State Wansheng and the seventeen states of the Abyss North is too big. In State Wansheng, there is an abundance of resources and rich spiritual energy. The seventeen states of the Abyss North can't compare at all."

"Grooming a dao realm master is the limit for the environment of the seventeen states of the Abyss North. If they want to advance to the next realm, they can only leave this place and go to State Wansheng. Only there can they be like fishes returning to the sea and mature completely."

"I see…"

Xu Ning suddenly understood.

Although they were all big states, State Wansheng, which was isolated by the Endless Sea Abyss, seemed to be at a different level

"Sect Master Feng, since State Wansheng is so powerful, why are only dao realm masters going there? Wouldn't cultivating there be better for void realm martial artists and mortal realm martial artists?"

Xu Ning asked as he was also tempted.

According to Feng Xiu, if he went to State Wansheng, it would be easier to obtain more energy. Additionally, it would also be easy to break through to the dao realm.

"Who wouldn't want to?"

Feng Xiu smiled helplessly. "You probably haven't traveled around much before, that's why you have this question."

"Although State Wansheng is good, the risk of crossing the Endless Sea Abyss is too great."

Feng Xiu explained, "Anyone who comes close to the Endless Sea Abyss will feel the horror of it. Unless one is a dao realm master, there is almost no chance of survival after entering it. There are countless terrifying creatures hidden under the Endless Sea Abyss, and in the sky, dark clouds are everywhere. Lightning infused with the power of the dao realm will even occasionally strike the sea."

"Even a dao realm master doesn't have a 100% chance of survival."

Feng Xiu's words allowed Xu Ning to understand the dangers of the Endless Sea Abyss.

'A place where even a dao realm master can die…'

Although he was afraid, Xu Ning still felt a sense of yearning in his heart.

At the same time, Xu Ning realized that the crisis Feng Xiu mentioned just now seemed to be related to State Wansheng, not State Hurricane.

"Sect Master Feng, the crisis you mentioned before is…"

Xu Ning took the initiative to ask.

"The crisis comes from State Wansheng."

Feng Xiu also gave an affirmative answer. "Compared to the flames of war in State Hurricane, this is the true crisis, and it is the crisis involving the entire seventeen states."

"Sect Master Feng, please explain."

Xu Ning was shocked.

If Feng Xiu said that it was a crisis involving the entire seventeen states, then it must not be underestimated.

"Xu Ning, you should know that the Source Sect has a strong foundation and has a long history."

Feng Xiu said, "In such a long time, the Source Sect has produced many dao realm masters. But they all left their hometown and went to State Wansheng."

"The seniors of the Source Sect took root in State Wansheng, and even built a new Source Sect there. We have established a connection with the Source Sect there through some extremely special spatial methods."

"Just three months ago, we received news from the Source Sect's seniors in State Wansheng. They said that some people in State Wansheng are about to come and bring great danger to the seventeen states."

"Although they didn't explain the reason in detail, they told us to gather together and unite the states to fight against the enemy."

After Xu Ning heard this, his expression was solemn.

The danger from the higher-level State Wansheng made him very worried.

Putting aside his own safety, he might not be able to protect his family and friends against that level of danger.

Feng Xiu continued, "But, Xu Ning, you also know that the seventeen states in the North Abyss are independent, and disputes are frequent amongst them. If we want to unite, we would have to obtain the consensus of the top sects in every state. How difficult is that?"

"What the Source Sect can do now is to find a way to unite the nearby three states: State Jifeng, State Hurricane, and State Yanshui."

"Over at State Hurricane, we have reached a consensus with the Twin Moon Sect, one of the top sects over there. The friction between the two sects is just a surface crisis. The goal is to divert the attention of the other sects in State Hurricane. When the time is right, we will cooperate with the Twin Moon Sect and their allies to control State Hurricane."

"Over at State Yanshui, we have reached an agreement with the Smoke Sect. The alliance has basically been secretly formed."

"In State Jifeng, we haven't decided on an alliance partner until you appear."

Feng Xiu looked at Xu Ning. "You are a true disciple of the Yuelan Sect, and you are from State Feiyun. You are the bond between the two states."

"I hope that when you return to the Yuelan Sect, you can bring back the Source Sect's wishes. I will write a letter explaining the reason, and I hope you can give it to Sect Master Mi Xingye and persuade him. Additionally, the Source Sect will also send help to aid the Yuelan Sect to take control over State Jifeng."

"This…"

Xu Ning did not immediately agree.

This matter was too important to simply decide.

"Xu Ning, if you still have concerns, you don't have to worry."

Feng Xiu said, "I will show solid evidence to let Sect Master Mi Xingye believe that this is the truth and not just a fabricated scheme.."

Chapter 185: Returning to Yuelan Sect, Mi Xingye's Surprise

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Sect Master Feng, I have a question."

Xu Ning asked, "Since you said that only a dao realm master can cross the Endless Sea Abyss, it means that the enemy from State Wansheng must be in the dao realm. But there are no dao realm masters in the seventeen states, so how can we resist them? Moreover, even if the states join forces, we are not their opponent."

Feng Xiu did not answer directly, instead he asked, "300 years ago, before the turmoil happened in the states, there were no dao realm masters. But when State Feiyun's previous dynasty was destroyed, many dao realm masters suddenly appeared when the beast tide occurred in State Jifeng. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

With Feng Xiu's hint, Xu Ning realized.

"Although the seventeen states of the North Abyss are far inferior to State Wansheng, we still have the foundation of a top sect…"

Feng Xiu's words had a deeper meaning.

"Is that so…"

When Xu Ning heard this, he thought. 'Now that I have advanced to the true intent realm, after returning to the sect, I should have the opportunity to come into contact with the secrets of the Yuelan Sect…'

"Moreover, in addition to the fact that the top sects have their own backup plans, the dao realm masters of the Source Sect in State Wansheng will also come to help us fight against the outsiders."

Feng Xiu said, "The only thing that is lacking right now is time. We don't know when the outsiders will set off, but it will only take them three months to cross the Endless Sea Abyss."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning knew that the situation was quite urgent. "In this case, Sect Master Feng, I shall return to my sect soon."

"Okay."

Feng Xiu said, "Thank you."

"Xu Ning, this is a major matter. Don't tell anyone else besides your master, Sect Master Mi Xingye."

Wu Lanqiong, who had not said anything, reminded.

"Understood."

Xu Ning responded.

After the exchange, Xu Ning returned to the Wei family with a lot on his mind.

After returning to the Wei family, many big shots from Yunying City came to visit him. Seeing this, Xu Ning did not refuse and greeted them one by one.

Among them, many asked Xu Ning to refine pills.

But Xu Ning refused and told them that he was about to return to State Jifeng.

Although a lot of people were disappointed, they understood and did not insist.

Three days after the Source Sect's conference ended, a disciple of the Source Sect came with a letter, saying that Sect Master Feng Xiu had invited Xu Ning to the sect.

Xu Ning went.

After seeing Feng Xiu, he gave Xu Ning a letter and a memory crystal, asking Xu Ning to pass it to Mi Xingye, the Sect Master of the Yuelan Sect.

The letter explained the reason for the alliance request and the memory crystal contained the evidence that Feng Xiu had to give Mi Xingye.

After Xu Ning received the letter and the memory crystal, he bid farewell to Feng Xiu.

After returning to the Wei family, Xu Ning bid farewell to Wei Xingfeng and the others, preparing to return to State Jifeng.

Before returning to State Jifeng, Xu Ning did not forget to find Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, who had taken the Frozen Seal Pills.

Inside the room.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun slowly woke up.

'We are actually still alive!'

'That person really gave us the antidote!'

After Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun woke up from their frozen state, they felt like they had just survived a disaster.

After taking Frozen Seal Pills, their lives were no longer in their own hands.

Before entering the frozen state, they were even prepared for the worst.

They just didn't expect Xu Ning to wake them up again.

"Since you are awake, don't waste any more time. Come back to State Jifeng with me."

Xu Ning's voice came from behind the two.

The two turned around and saw Xu Ning.

"Sir."

The two greeted Xu Ning.

"When we return to State Jifeng, I will take you back to the Yuelan Sect first."

Xu Ning's words made Huang Zongshao's heart skip a beat.

The Phantom Blood Sect was the enemy of the Yuelan Sect. As the Deputy Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, Huang Zongshao was really worried that he wouldn't come out alive.

'I have to find a way to escape…'

Huang Zongshao's eyes darted around.

Xu Ning smiled and moved his fingertips.

Afterwards, Huang Zongshao felt his heart ache, then it became itchy, as if there were hundreds of claws scratching his heart.

Huang Zongshao's body trembled, then his throat started to get itchy.

"Don't play tricks, I have already given you both some Hook Heart Pills."

Xu Ning said to the two, then moved his fingertips slightly, allowing Huang Zongshao to escape from his painful state.

"Hook Heart Pills?"

Xiang Nanchun and Huang Zongshao's expressions changed.

A Hook Heart Pill was also a functional pill, and its raw material was the inner crystal of an insect called the Hook Heart Bug.

If the person who consumed a Hook Heart Pill didn't take their relief pill on time, they would suffer from claws hooking at their heart.

Moreover, if someone were to sprinkle a powder that was highly stimulating to the Heart Hook Bug in them, they would also feel the same pain.

What Xu Ning had done was just to sprinkle out some of that powder and guide it into Huang Zongshao's nose.

Xiang Nanchun and Huang Zongshao's faces were pale.

They didn't expect that even though they had woken up from their frozen state, their lives would still be in the hands of others.

"Let's go."

Xu Ning urged.

The two had no choice but to obey Xu Ning's will.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took the two of them out of the city.

Not long after leaving the city, before Xu Ning could summon Little Gray, he heard a cry above his head.

Little Gray flew over from a distance, flapped its wings, and slowly landed.

Compared to previous time, Little Gray was not only a size bigger, but its feathers were also brighter and more lustrous.

Especially the wings that were now as sharp as knives.

There were also three black feathers on its head, like a crown.

"Little Gray, congratulations."

Xu Ning touched Little Gray's head.

Little Gray had advanced from the elementary void realm to the intermediate void realm.

For demon beasts, the limit of their advancement had been roughly locked from the moment they were born.

The limit of demon beasts was determined by the quality and concentration of their bloodline.

For Little Gray, its bloodline level would stabilize at the elementary level of the void realm once it matured.

However, after taking the Demon Beast Pill given to it by Xu Ning, its bloodline was stimulated again, causing its quality and concentration to improve, allowing it to break through its bloodline limit.

Little Gray knew that Xu Ning had given a huge opportunity to it, so it was friendly.

"Come, take us back to State Jifeng and return to the sect."

Xu Ning said to Little Gray.

Hearing that, Little Gray leaned over. After letting the three of them get up on it, it spread its wings and disappeared into the sky.

…

State Jifeng.

Yuelan Sect.

"I'm back!"

Xu Ning saw the gates of the Yuelan Sect.

"Little Gray, go right in."

Xu Ning ordered.

Little Gray accelerated and flew directly into the mountain gates.

When Little Gray approached, the two fierce dogs guarding the gates opened their eyes with a fierce look, but after sensing Xu Ning's aura, they calmed down.

The disciples guarding the gates were so frightened that they thought an enemy had invaded.

"Little Gray, go over there."

Xu Ning pointed in the direction of the main peak.

Whether it was Feng Xiu's request or the Phantom Blood Sect's Demon Blood Great Pill, Xu Ning felt that he should tell Mi Xingye about these two matters as soon as possible.

"Who came to the Sect Master Peak?"

As soon as Little Gray landed, several disciples surrounded it.

"It's Senior Brother Xu Ning!"

Soon, the disciples recognized Xu Ning.

Although Xu Ning was an in-name disciple, he was highly valued by Sect Master Mi Xingye, so all the disciples respected him.

"Little Gray, be good and don't move. There are many masters in the sect. If you provoke them, be careful not to get roasted."

Xu Ning joked with Little Gray.

Little Gray was already trembling. It had already sensed a terrifying aura in the courtyard.

The owner of the aura was Sect Master Mi Xingye.

"You two wait outside the door first, come in when I call you."

Xu Ning said to Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun.

Both of their hearts were beating fast.

They all knew very well that they were about to face the head of a top sect in State Jifeng.

Especially Huang Zongshao, he was afraid that Mi Xingye would kill him because of his identity.

But they had no choice. Xu Ning had given them the order to stay, so they were forced to obey.

Xu Ning strode into the tiled room.

When he came in, Mi Xingye was already sitting down with a smile on his face. He looked at Xu Ning with eyes full of praise and surprise.

Obviously, before Xu Ning came in, Mi Xingye had already sensed Xu Ning's arrival.

"Xu Ning greets Master."

Xu Ning bowed respectfully to Mi Xingye.

"Xu Ning, you really gave me a big surprise!"

Mi Xingye laughed out loud. He then stood up and personally helped Xu Ning up. He patted Xu Ning's shoulder. "I haven't seen you for half a year, but you have advanced from the attribute realm to the true intent realm. Did you encounter some lucky encounters during your travels?"

Xu Ning could sense that Mi Xingye was sincerely happy.

"It is all due to the mystic realm."

Xu Ning had already thought of an excuse. "I have gained a lot from the mystic realm last time, and this trip has helped me completely digest it."

"Good!"

Mi Xingye smiled and said, "Your talent has exceeded my expectations. It seems that the dao realm is not out of reach for you."

"You may have caught up with your Senior Brother He Mingye."

Mi Xingye was extremely happy. "I didn't expect my disciples to be so talented. Elder Gujuan is on par with me, but his disciples are not as good as my disciples."

After seeing Mi Xingye so happy, Xu Ning hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't say that he had killed Fang Jie.

Obviously, no one had discovered Fang Jie's death yet.

"Xu Ning, who are the two people you brought outside?"

Mi Xingye asked.

"Huang Zongshao, the Deputy Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, and the alchemist they have invited from Yanshui State, Xiang Nanchun. I captured the two of them on my travels."

Xu Ning said.

"Oh?"

Mi Xingye raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised, but he smiled and said, "The people from the Phantom Blood Sect have been secretly targeting our Yuelan Sect. I had already planned to capture their Sect Master Feng Changge in a few days, but I didn't expect you to take down a general first."

Xu Ning chimed in and said, "Master, the Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, Feng Changge, seems to have been trying to refine a type of demonic pill that can allow one to advance to the dao realm.."

Report chapter

Chapter 186: Technique to Ascend to Dao Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Trying to refine a type of demonic pill that can allow one to advance to the dao realm?"

Mi Xingye frowned. "You learned this from them?"

"That is right."

Xu Ning said, "Huang Zongshao went to State Yanshui to find an alchemist named Xiang Nanchun in order to refine that demonic pill."

"That demonic pill is called the Demon Blood Great Pill, and the formula was obtained from a mystic realm when Feng Changge was traveling. Moreover, after exiting the mystic realm, Feng Changge is now a half-step dao realm master."

Xu Ning added.

"Is that so…"

Mi Xingye's expression was a little serious, but he did not panic.

Xu Ning also noticed this.

'It seems like just as Sect Master Feng Xiu said, the top sects in each state have extremely deep foundations, and the Yuelan Sect should be the same. Otherwise, Master wouldn't be this calm when he knows that there is a half-step dao realm master as his enemy.'

Xu Ning thought about this.

"Call them in."

Mi Xingye thought for a moment, then said to Xu Ning.

"Master, please wait a moment."

Xu Ning did not immediately follow his instruction. "Before that, I have something important to tell you."

"Something important?"

Mi Xingye raised his eyebrows. He then spread out a formless true domain, enveloping the two of them.

"Master, you have some ties with the Source Sect, right?"

Xu Ning was ready to hand over Feng Xiu's letter.

"Yes, I was old friends with Wu Lanqiong from the Source Sect, but that was when I was young. We haven't contacted each other for decades."

Mi Xingye looked nostalgic.

"Master, I returned to my hometown, State Feiyun, and went to visit the Source Sect."

Xu Ning said.

"So you are from State Feiyun."

This was the first time Mi Xingye heard about Xu Ning's background.

In fact, when Xu Ning joined the Yuelan Sect, his identity had already been investigated.

However, the origin of Xu Ning's identity in State Jifeng came from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall in Chun Rin Canton.

Mi Xingye did not care about Xu Ning's past. And Xu Ning also did not take the initiative to tell him, so he did not ask.

"Yes, I was originally from State Feiyun. I only came to State Jifeng after a series of lucky encounters, and after a few twists and turns, I entered the sect."

Xu Ning did not mention the specific reason why he came to State Jifeng.

Otherwise, his killing of Fang Jie and Bao Qiuhua would inevitably be exposed.

Mi Xingye nodded and didn't probe further.

"When I went to visit the Source Sect this time, I saw Sect Master Feng Xiu, as well as your old friend Wu Lanqiong from decades ago. Before leaving, Sect Master Feng Xiu wrote you a letter and asked me to hand you a memory crystal."

Xu Ning handed the letter and memory crystal to Mi Xingye.

Mi Xingye was a little confused. He didn't have much contact with the Source Sect.

Thus, Mi Xingye didn't expect Feng Xiu to send this letter.

Mi Xingye opened the letter and read it slowly.

At first, Mi Xingye's expression was calm, but the more he read, the more serious his expression became. In the end, he put away the letter with a serious expression.

Mi Xingye then activated the memory crystal and read its contents.

Xu Ning stood aside throughout the whole time and did not disturb him.

"There is such a thing…"

After learning the contents of the memory crystal, Mi Xingye seemed to be in disbelief.

"Xu Ning, do you know the news that Sect Master Feng Xiu has asked you to bring?"

Mi Xingye asked Xu Ning.

"I know roughly."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"This matter is too important to be revealed."

Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong had reminded Xu Ning before, but now Mi Xingye was reminding him again.

"I know, Master."

Xu Ning responded.

"Xu Ning, I have to go out."

Mi Xingye stood up. Xu Ning didn't know if he was going to ask for help or confirm the information.

"Master, how should we deal with Feng Changge?"

Xu Ning quickly asked.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun were still standing at the door.

"Just now, I was thinking about going to find a senior of the sect to get rid of him, but now there is an even more urgent matter. I have to delay Feng Changge's matter…"

Mi Xingye said, "Since you brought them here, you can decide for yourself."

"Decide myself?"

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before nodding.

He pursed his lips, paused, and suddenly asked, "Master, how strong is a half-step dao realm master?"

"A half-step dao realm master is just a title. They are still a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist."

Mi Xingye explained to Xu Ning, "It's just that they have already mastered the method to advance to the dao realm and have some understanding of the secrets of the dao realm. They are still far from being a true dao realm master. If a true domain realm martial artist possesses a dao weapon, they may not be at a disadvantage when facing a half-step dao realm master."

"What, you are only in the true intent realm, but you are already considering how to advance to become a half-step dao realm master?"

Mi Xingye smiled.

"I was just curious."

Xu Ning knew very little about the dao realm.

"This is for you."

Mi Xingye took out another memory crystal and handed it to Xu Ning. "This is the method to advance to the dao realm."

"This…"

Xu Ning didn't expect Mi Xingye to give him the method to advance to the dao realm so easily.

In contrast, it took him a lot of effort to obtain a void realm secret scroll when he was in the mortal realm.

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Ning quickly thanked him.

"I have already created settings for this memory crystal. Before you advance to the true domain realm, you will not be able to read its contents."

Mi Xingye said, "The reason for this is because I don't want you to be distracted in advance. There has been a precedent in the Yuelan Sect. Some genius disciples had tried to pry into the secrets of the dao realm before advancing to the true domain realm, causing their cultivation to be messed up, which in turn wasted a lot of energy and effort."

"The more talented you are, the more conceited you will be. Xu Ning, don't make the same mistake again."

Mi Xingye wanted to remind Xu Ning to calm down and not be too hasty because of his rapid advancement.

"I will remember Master's teachings."

Xu Ning understood Mi Xingye's intentions.

"I'm leaving."

After answering Xu Ning's questions, Mi Xingye left the Sect Master Peak in a hurry.

When he pushed open the door and walked out, he looked at Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, causing their hearts to freeze.

Fortunately, Mi Xingye left immediately, making the two feel like their lives were just saved.

'Master must have gone to find the sect senior he had mentioned just now…'

In the room, Xu Ning hadn't left yet.

'To be called a senior of the sect by Master and even to ask advice from means that the person must be at least a half-step dao realm master… It seems that many of the elders and even previous sect masters of the sect are hidden in the dark. They are the ultimate power of the sect.'

Xu Ning finally understood.

'This dao realm technique…'

Xu Ning tried to pry into the contents of the memory crystal. Sure enough, he found a barrier.

This barrier was relatively strong, making it difficult to break through.

However, after Xu Ning tested it, he discovered that if he was willing to forcibly break through this barrier, he could do it.

He was in the true intent realm. Moreover, he cultivated a dual attribute secret scroll and mastered four eighth-level secret techniques. With his strength, he was invincible against ordinary true domain realm martial artists.

Therefore, Xu Ning could pry into this dao realm technique now.

But since Mi Xingye had reminded him not to, Xu Ning felt that there was no need to do this out of curiosity.

'Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, I will deal with these two myself…'

Xu Ning thought of the two people outside the door.

He weighed his options before walking out of the room.

"You saw my master just now?"

Xu Ning asked the two.

"Yes."

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun quickly responded.

Especially Huang Zongshao, when he thought back to Mi Xingye's glance, he still felt shocked.

He felt that Mi Xingye was stronger than his half-step dao realm sect master.

"My master told me to punish the two of you."

Xu Ning scratched his head.

"Master Xu, what do you plan to do with us?"

The two looked at Xu Ning cautiously.

"Both of you have a close relationship with the Phantom Blood Sect, and you are enemies with the Yuelan Sect. What do you think I should do with you?"

Xu Ning's words made the two panic.

Xu Ning obviously wanted to take their lives.

Huang Zongshao knew that if he did not show his value, he would not be able to walk out of the Yuelan Sect alive.

"Master Xu…"

Huang Zongshao struggled for a while before finally revealing a look of determination. "I have a proposal."

"Go ahead."

Xu Ning looked at Huang Zongshao with interest.

"Our Sect Master Feng Changge has obtained a lot of treasures from the mystic realm. If you allow me to go back, I will definitely do my best to help you obtain those treasures."

He seemed to be afraid that Xu Ning would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to add. "If you don't believe me, you can feed me poison pills. After everything is done, you can give me the antidote."

"Oh?"

Xu Ning didn't expect Huang Zongshao to suggest this.

He wanted to tease him, but Xu Ning suddenly had a thought.

'After Feng Changge came out of the mystic realm, he became a half-step dao realm master and obtained the method to advance to the dao realm. Although the method is through refining the Demon Blood Great Pill, which is still considered as external help, this also shows that the mystic realm has abundant resources.'

'If I really obtain what he obtained in the mystic realm, I'm afraid I can easily advance to the true domain realm.'

Xu Ning was a little tempted.

'However…' Xu Ning thought again. 'Compared to what I can get from the mystic realm, if I can get close to Feng Changge and understand the secrets of the mystic realm, I might be able to obtain more and even touch the threshold of the dao realm.'

'Now that Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun are in my hands, this is indeed an opportunity.'

Xu Ning had tasted the benefits of being in a great mystic realm before, so he was instantly tempted.

'If I can use their identities to sneak into the Phantom Blood Sect, I might be able to gain something…'

Xu Ning's alchemy skills were extremely high. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to refine some high-level Breath Restraining Pills or even pills that could change his appearance.

"Huang Zongshao…"

Xu Ning began to confirm the feasibility of this plan. "Tell me the specific structure of the Phantom Blood Sect and the details of its important members."

"Okay!"

Huang Zongshao saw that Xu Ning was interested, so he quickly began to explain..

Chapter 187: Going to the Phantom Blood Sect, Feng Changge

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"There are nine high-level void realm martial artists in the Phantom Blood Sect."

"Among them there is one sect master who is a half-step dao realm master, two deputy sect masters who are true intent realm martial artists, and the six elders who are common seal realm martial artists."

Huang Zongshao spoke quickly.

Seeing this, Xiang Nanchun was anxious.

Huang Zongshao's information could save his life, but what about himself?

Although he was a powerful alchemist, so was the person in front of him.

He didn't seem to be of any use to Xu Ning.

"That's all?"

This group of people was much weaker than Xu Ning had imagined.

"Are there no hidden masters in the Phantom Blood Sect? For example, the previous sect master and elders."

Xu Ning asked cautiously.

"No."

Huang Zongshao quickly shook his head. "Master Xu, our Phantom Blood Sect was just established 20 years ago. Our predecessor was a large horse bandit gang. At that time, the elders of the horse bandit gang who did not support Feng Changge's establishment of a sect were all killed by him. Thus, the strongest person in the Phantom Blood Sect now is Feng Changge."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning now understood why the Phantom Blood Sect had always regarded the Yuelan Sect as their enemy, yet the Yuelan Sect didn't pay any attention to them.

The gap between the Yuelan Sect and the Phantom Blood Sect was pretty huge.

"Let me ask you again, does Feng Changge have a dao weapon?"

Xu Ning asked again. If Feng Changge had a dao weapon, his true strength would be higher.

"He has a damaged dao weapon."

Huang Zongshao said, "He obtained the damaged dao weapon from the mysterious mystic realm."

'Only a damaged dao weapon…'

Xu Ning felt relieved.

If Feng Changge only had a damaged dao weapon, then there was nothing to fear.

The difference between a damaged dao weapon and a complete dao weapon was too great.

'According to what Huang Zongshao said, I really do have a chance to sneak into the Phantom Blood Sect…'

Xu Ning did not doubt Huang Zongshao's words.

Now that the Hook Heart Pill was still in Huang Zongshao's body, Xu Ning could easily sense his emotions.

If he was lying, Xu Ning would immediately notice.

'With my current strength, even if I expose myself in the Phantom Blood Sect, I won't die.'

Xu Ning thought to himself. 'Feng Changge is only a half-step dao realm master. Although I can't defeat him with a dao weapon, it's not difficult to protect my life. Moreover, I should be able to gather 8,000 units of energy to advance the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword to the ninth level. The combination of these two secret techniques is extremely lethal.'

"Huang Zongshao, since you are so honest, I won't kill you for the time being."

Huang Zongshao was relieved.

"Thank you, Master Xu."

In order to protect his life, Huang Zongshao no longer cared about anything.

"Xiang Nanchun."

Xu Ning's voice made Xiang Nanchun tremble.

He had nothing to offer.

"Master Xu…"

Xiang Nanchun's heart skipped a beat.

"Are you willing to listen to my orders?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I'm willing to do anything for Master Xu!"

Xiang Nanchun did not let go of this opportunity.

"Okay, in this case, in a few days, you and Huang Zongshao will cover my trip to the Phantom Blood Sect."

Xu Ning said his intention.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun looked at each other and responded at the same time.

They could not guess what Xu Ning was thinking, but right now, they had no choice but to follow Xu Ning's orders.

"By the way, do you have anything valuable on you? Give it to me."

Xu Ning had not looted the two people in front of him yet. And since he needed some energy now, they should be able to provide some help.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun quickly took out some of their belongings.

They didn't have a storage space, so they didn't take out much stuff.

Xu Ning picked and chose, only leaving behind some medicinal pills and spirit medicine for them. His harvest in total provided him with less than 1000 units of energy.

'It seems that I have to sell pills or even borrow some pills to gather 8,000 units of energy…'

Xu Ning thought in his head.

…

More than a month had gone by.

Xu Ning, Huang Zongshao, and Xiang Nanchun got off Little Gray's back.

"Master Xu, we will reach the Phantom Blood Sect in half an hour."

Huang Zongshao said respectfully.

Xu Ning nodded and sent Little Gray away.

Now that they were almost at the Phantom Blood Sect, Little Gray was a burden.

"Your Phantom Blood Sect is really secretive."

Xu Ning sighed.

Because the Phantom Blood Sect had too many enemies, they had set up many strongholds.

A headquarters with a sect master or elder overseeing it was extremely difficult to find. If it weren't for Huang Zongshao, Xu Ning would have had to spend a lot of effort to find it.

"There are too many enemies. If it weren't for the fact that we have many bases, we would have been destroyed long ago."

Huang Zongshao gave an apologetic smile and said.

"Do you guys still remember the instructions I have given?"

Xu Ning glanced at Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun.

"We do."

The two said in unison.

Xu Ning had already arranged for him to act as Xiang Nanchun's follower.

With this identity, he could sneak in naturally.

"Okay, in this case, let's continue."

Xu Ning was quite confident. In order to get close to Feng Changge and find out more about the mystic realm, he had made sufficient preparations.

In order to make the two listen to him more, Xu Ning made them ingest many mixed poisonous pills. If it weren't for Xu Ning's special antidote, they would find it hard to survive.

Moreover, Xu Ning had used various methods to gather 8,000 units of energy, raising the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword to the ninth level.

Finally, in order to hide his identity, Xu Ning refined an extremely high-quality Breath Restraining Pill and a special medicinal powder that could change his appearance.

The current Xu Ning was displaying the strength of a void realm third stage martial artist.

At the same time, his appearance changed from firm and handsome to an ordinary appearance.

Although no one should recognize him in the Phantom Blood Sect, Xu Ning still acted cautiously.

"Greetings, Deputy Sect Master Huang!"

When the three of them arrived at the camp of the Phantom Blood Sect, the disciples guarding the gates saluted Huang Zongshao respectfully.

'This is the Phantom Blood Sect?'

Xu Ning observed.

The Phantom Blood Sect was built under a valley, with clouds and fog lingering above it. Even if one passed by here, it was difficult to find the specific location without carefully searching.

"Is the Sect Master in the sect?"

Huang Zongshao's posture was completely different from when he faced Xu Ning.

"He is."

The disciple responded cautiously. He was afraid of this deputy sect master.

"Please."

Huang Zongshao entered the sect .

Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun followed behind Huang Zongshao, entering the Phantom Blood Sect.

"Huh?"

As he walked, Xu Ning noticed that the disciples of the Phantom Blood Sect were all restless.

This was especially true for some mortal realm warriors who had a bloody smell on their bodies.

From time to time, they would see some disciples dragging people in ragged clothing into rooms, followed by screams.

Xu Ning snorted.

Most of the demonic techniques practiced by the Phantom Blood Sect were supplemented with human blood.

Most of these people were captured from the outside world, or were captured as their enemies.

Huang Zongshao also noticed Xu Ning's dissatisfaction, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He kept glancing back, afraid that Xu Ning would suddenly explode from anger and slap him to death.

Fortunately, Xu Ning did not do anything.

But in his heart, Xu Ning had a firm plan to completely annihilate the Phantom Blood Sect.

Whether it was personal feelings or his status as a disciple of the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning didn't want to see a sect like the Phantom Blood Sect rooted in the land of the seventeen states.

Soon, Huang Zongshao brought Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun to a stone hall before walking in.

As soon as he walked in, Xu Ning saw a man lying on a high couch on the stairs in the empty hall.

Beside him, there were several young women in gauze clothing, carefully serving him.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Huang Zongshao was obviously a little afraid of this person. He quickly took Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun a few steps forward and greeted him.

"Deputy Sect Master Huang, you're finally back!"

When the man saw Huang Zongshao bringing people in, he casually pushed the woman next to him away.

He stood up and walked down from the high couch.

He was wearing a gray robe and his long hair flowed on his back. His eyes and lips were covered in black dye, giving off a crazy and arrogant feeling.

'So he is Feng Changge…'

Xu Ning began to suppress his aura.

He had swallowed several high level Breath Restraining Pills, restraining his aura to the extreme.

Thus, Feng Changge didn't notice anything wrong with Xu Ning.

"Brother Xiang, after so many years, we finally meet again!"

Feng Changge walked to Xiang Nanchun's side and said enthusiastically, "It's all up to you to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill!"

"Sect Master Feng, don't worry, I will do my best to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill and help you become a dao realm master."

Xiang Nanchun also made a gesture.

"Okay! When I advance to the dao realm, you will definitely receive generous gifts!"

Feng Changge was very satisfied with Xiang Nanchun's attitude.

Afterwards, Feng Changge turned his gaze to Xu Ning and looked at him carefully.

"This is?"

Feng Changge asked.

"Sect Master Feng, this is my follower, Alchemy Assistant Tao."

When Xiang Nanchun saw this, he quickly explained, "I heard from Deputy Sect Master Huang that this Demon Blood Great Pill is extremely difficult to refine. It may be difficult for me to refine it alone, so I brought Alchemist Tao here to help me."

Feng Changge didn't suspect anything.

"So you are Alchemist Tao."

Feng Changge said to Xu Ning, "When refining the Demon Blood Great Pill, please do your best, Alchemist Tao. When the pill is done, I will give you generous gifts as well."

"In that case, thank you, Sect Master Feng."

Xu Ning responded humbly.

"Okay, Deputy Sect Master Huang, arrange residences for Alchemist Xiang and Alchemist Tao first."

Feng Changge said, "At night, I will gather all the elders of the sect and personally welcome you two."

"Tomorrow, we will discuss refining the Demon Blood Great Pill."

"Understood."

Huang Zongshao responded.

Afterwards, he left with the two.

"Demon Blood Great Pill will be done soon!"

Feng Changge laughed loudly in the stone hall..

Chapter 188: New Pill Refinement Technique, Si Ying

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That night, Feng Changge brought the elders of the Phantom Blood Sect to welcome Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun.

After a celebration, the next day arrived.

"Brother Xiang, Alchemist Tao, how was your rest last night?"

Early the next morning, Feng Changge brought Huang Zongshao and couldn't wait to find Xiang Nanchun and Xu Ning.

"Good."

Xiang Nanchun responded. Xu Ning was standing next to him, playing the role of a follower.

"In this case, how about today's pill refinement?"

Feng Changge was eager for the Demon Blood Great Pill to be refined. "The sooner the Demon Blood Great Pill is refined, the sooner my heart will be at ease."

"Of course."

Xiang Nanchun said, "I was ready a long time ago. Being able to refine a Demon Blood Great Pill is also a form of tempering for me. If I succeed, I will also have a great sense of achievement."

Feng Changge laughed when he heard this. "In this case, I will personally take you two to the alchemy room."

Afterwards, Feng Changge took the initiative to lead Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun to an underground entrance.

"I have already prepared this alchemy room before you guys arrived."

Feng Changge said, "There are excellent pill furnaces, spacious rooms, and all kinds of prepared materials."

"The alchemy room is quiet, so it should be able to meet your requirements."

Feng Changge continued to lead them.

"Zongshao, open the door."

They descended the underground stairs and came to a stone door.

Huang Zongshao took the initiative to step forward. His true qi surged as he pushed open the heavy stone door.

As soon as the stone door opened, the strong smell of medicinal materials and blood assaulted their noses.

"Please."

Feng Changge led the two in.

After entering the alchemy room, Xu Ning looked around.

This place was huge, almost as big as half of Feng Changge's stone hall.

In the middle of the room, there was a large pill furnace that was as tall as a person. There were also special wood logs to use as fuel placed under the pill furnace.

After igniting this kind of wood logs, it would emit a fragrant smoke. Not only would it not irritate the nose, but it would also allow alchemists to feel refreshed, allowing them to maintain their focus when refining pills.

Although this pill furnace and its layout were not comparable to Xu Ning's dao weapon pill furnace, in the eyes of ordinary alchemists, this was a top-grade pill furnace.

There was also a large stone platform next to the pill furnace. On the stone platform, the raw materials were placed there.

Xu Ning roughly estimated that there were a hundred sets of these materials.

There was a pond next to the stone platform, but it was not filled with clear water, but instead dark red blood.

Xu Ning could smell that the blood in the pond was mixed with many types of blood, including the blood of various demon beasts and human blood.

The smell of blood after the stone door opened was released by the blood in the pond.

Xu Ning's expression did not change, but a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"The raw materials for this Demon Blood Great Pill are all here."

After Feng Changge entered the alchemy room, he first sniffed the smell of blood in the air, then explained to Xiang Nanchun and Xu Ning, "The blood in this pond is also one of the materials for the Demon Blood Great Pill."

"The refinement method for the Demon Blood Great Pill is here."

Feng Changge handed a piece of beast skin paper to Xiang Nanchun.

"This Demon Blood Great Pill is extremely difficult to refine."

Feng Changge said, "It is almost impossible to refine it successfully in a short period of time, so you don't need to feel too much pressure when refining it. There are a hundred sets of raw materials here. If you can't refine it successfully with a hundred sets of raw materials, then ask someone to deliver more materials."

"Okay."

Xiang Nanchun said, "Sect Master Feng, don't worry, we will do our best."

"Thank you."

Feng Changge smiled, then looked at Huang Zongshao next to him. "Zongshao, when Alchemist Xiang and Alchemist Tao are refining pills in this alchemy room, you shall personally take a few disciples and wait here for their orders."

"Understood."

Huang Zongshao quickly responded.

"If you have any instructions, just ask them to do it."

Feng Changge said, "Refining medicinal pills, especially complex medicinal pills, requires a suitable environment. I won't trouble you two here any longer. I hope you can finish your pill refinement soon."

Feng Changge took Huang Zongshao out of the alchemy room.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huang Zongshao closed the stone door again.

Only Xiang Nanchun and Xu Ning were left in the large alchemy room.

"Master Xu…"

As soon as Feng Changge left, Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun's attitudes completely changed.

"This Demon Blood Great Pill, we…"

Xiang Nanchun asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning did not respond immediately, instead he walked to the raw materials of the pill and looked at them carefully.

'The medicinal properties of these raw materials are all very extreme, and they will be extremely unstable during the refinement process.'

Xu Ning frowned.

Generally speaking, if it was not necessary, very few medicinal pills would use these materials.

Refining pills with only unstable raw materials was beyond Xu Ning's understanding.

There was no such knowledge in the dao realm master alchemist's inheritance he had obtained in the past.

'Demon Blood Great Pill…'

Xu Ning revealed a pondering look. He then said to Xiang Nanchun, "Give me the refining method of the Demon Blood Great Pill."

Xiang Nanchun quickly handed the beast skin scroll to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning took it and read it carefully.

'This refining technique is quite special…'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

Although the Demon Blood Great Pill was obviously a demonic pill, its refinement technique was extremely novel. It was completely different from the dao realm master alchemist's inheritance Xu Ning had previously obtained.

'If I'm not wrong, this Demon Blood Great Pill and its refinement method are not native to the seventeen states of the Abyss North, but from some other place outside the Endless Sea Abyss…'

Xu Ning made a bold guess.

The dao realm master alchemist inheritance that Xu Ning had inherited basically encompassed the mainstream and even subsidiary refinement methods of all the seventeen states in the Abyss North. It could be said that as long as it was a native refinement technique, Xu Ning could imitate it with the help of the Life Pill Sutra.

However, this refinement method was completely opposite from the native ones. Moreover, it was an extremely unfamiliar refinement method. Since it appeared out of thin air, the probability of it being from outside the seventeen states was higher.

'No wonder I couldn't find the Demon Blood Great Pill in the dao realm master alchemist's pill scroll. So that's why…'

Xu Ning's doubt was resolved.

"Xiang Nanchun, you have also seen the refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill. What do you think?"

Xu Ning asked Xiang Nanchun.

Xiang Nanchun thought carefully for a moment before saying, "This refinement technique is extremely chaotic and extreme. I have never heard of it before… If Feng Changge didn't hand it to me, I would have thought that this was a random experiment by a novice alchemist…"

Xiang Nanchun's alchemy understanding was far inferior to Xu Ning's. Xu Ning had already seen through the mysteries of the chaos, but Xiang Nanchun had not yet understood its essence.

'I knew it…'

Xiang Nanchun's words also provided evidence for Xu Ning's conjecture.

'The pill formula and refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill must have been obtained by Feng Changge from the mystic realm…'

Xu Ning thought to himself. 'If that is the case, it means that the mystic realm is likely left behind by an outsider, just like the beast tamer who left the Demon Beast Scroll…'

Thinking of this, Xu Ning was tempted. He had gained a lot from the Demon Beast Scroll. If he could gain more from this mystic realm, he would definitely break through to the dao realm.

Forget about the resources, if Xu Ning could obtain the outsider's pill refinement technique, it would greatly help his future development.

"Xiang Nanchun, start refining this Demon Blood Great Pill…"

Xu Ning thought for a moment before handing the beast skin scroll back to Xiang Nanchun.

Xu Ning was already thinking about how to find out the location of the mystic realm from Feng Changge.

"Understood."

Xiang Nanchun didn't know what Xu Ning was thinking, but he still followed Xu Ning's orders.

He followed the pill formula and refinement method to a tee. He threw in the raw materials, lit the special wood logs under the furnace and began to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill.

As for Xu Ning, he stood aside and sensed the refinement process of the Demon Blood Great Pill.

One reason for this was to deepen Xu Ning's understanding of alchemy, and the other was to see if he could do anything to the Demon Blood Great Pill.

If he could set up a hidden hand in the Demon Blood Great Pill, then dealing with Feng Changge and exposing the location of the mystic realm would be much easier.

…

At the same time.

Three figures were exploring the valley outside the Phantom Blood Sect.

The leader was a beautiful woman. She had a graceful figure, and there was a hint of charm in her eyes. If it weren't for her cold temperament, she would definitely be able to charm thousands of men.

Behind her were two sisters. They had the same appearance and possessed similar posture. Compared to the leading woman, their temperament was much gentler.

"Senior Sister Si, isn't it a little too reckless for us to come to the territory of the Phantom Blood Sect and destroy their base?"

One of the sisters asked Senior Sister Si.

When Si Ying heard this, she said, "The Phantom Blood Sect has spread everywhere, so it is extremely difficult to find them. It has not been easy for us to find their base this time. If we miss this opportunity and let them change the location of their base, we don't know when we can find them again."

"Jiang Yiyi, Jiang Lulu, you two don't have to worry too much."

Seeing that the two still seemed a little worried, Si Ying said, "Although the Phantom Blood Sect is famous, the actual strength of the sect is not very strong. In the Phantom Blood Sect, only their sect master, Feng Changge, is a true domain realm martial artist. But now, I have advanced to the true domain realm and have received a dao weapon from Master."

"With my strength alone, it is not difficult to destroy the entire Phantom Blood Sect. I brought you two just to prevent those small fries from escaping, not to let you participate in the battle. You can be rest assured."

When Si Ying said this, her tone was firm with a strong sense of justice.

As the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect, Si Ying had always regarded the eradication of Demon Sects as her mission to maintain the order of the martial world..

Report chapter

Chapter 189: Demon Blood Great Pill Formation, Xu Ning's Hidden Hand

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Senior Sister Si, you have advanced to the true domain realm and obtained a dao weapon?"

Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked surprised.

Both of them were martial artists in the common seal realm. Moreover, Si Ying had deliberately restrained her aura, so neither of them noticed Si Ying's advancement.

"Senior Sister Si is indeed the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect!"

Jiang Yiyi said, "Since you have advanced to the true domain realm, you have definitely surpassed He Mingye of the Yuelan Sect. You are now the strongest disciple among all the sects in State Jifeng."

"I guess not only in State Jifeng, but in the entire seventeen states of the Abyss North. Senior Sister Si is also the most outstanding."

Jiang Lulu added, "With Senior Sister Si's current strength and a dao weapon in hand, it will be easy to eliminate the higher-ups of the Phantom Blood Sect."

After hearing what her two junior sisters said, Si Ying shook her head gently. "You don't have to think too highly of me. The current me may not be able to catch up to He Mingye. Although He Mingye's improvement is slightly slower than mine, his secret techniques are cultivated extremely quickly. His Water Cross Sword and Bright Fire Sword have long been cultivated to the ninth level. When these two secret techniques are used at the same time, their lethality is extremely high. If I fight against him in the same realm, there is a high chance that I will be suppressed by him."

'Moreover, I haven't seen He Mingye for a long time. Maybe he has already advanced to the true domain realm…'

As the top true disciples of the two strongest sects in State Jifeng, Si Ying and He Mingye were old friends.

In her heart, Si Ying had always been competing with He Mingye.

"But Senior Sister…"

"Wait…"

Just when Jiang Yiyi was about to say something, she was suddenly stopped by Si Ying.

"Someone is approaching…"

Si Ying picked up her pace. "Follow me, we probably ran into a disciple of the Phantom Blood Sect."

Afterwards, the three of them rushed in one direction.

Soon, they saw several disciples wearing the uniform of the Phantom Blood Sect walking towards the direction of the Phantom Blood Sect. They were currently escorting a dozen commoners.

"These thieves from the Phantom Blood Sect are abducting ordinary people in order to use their blood to practice their demonic techniques."

After Si Ying saw it clearly, her face turned cold.

She flew out and a light blue sword light was released. Several heads of the disciples of the Phantom Blood Sect fell, leaving only one alive.

"Bring us to the Sect Master of Phantom Blood Sect."

Si Ying ordered.

Afterwards, they dismissed everyone and let the terrified Phantom Blood Sect disciple lead the way to the sect.

…

Four hours later.

Phantom Blood Sect.

Feng Changge sat cross-legged in the secret room, alone and calm.

He no longer had beauties by his side, nor was he enjoying himself.

He wanted to adjust to his peak state and wait for the Demon Blood Great Pill to be refined before swallowing it.

The reason for this was because when Feng Changge obtained the refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill, he learned that there was a chance of failure if he consumed the Demon Blood Great Pill to advance. Once he failed, he could drop a major realm, or even die on the spot.

Therefore, Feng Changge was very cautious about this. He was determined to take the pill in his best condition.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door to his sealed room.

The sealed room Feng Changge was in was extremely sealed off, almost isolating all sound and aura.

If the people in the sect wanted to find Feng Changge in the sealed room, they could only activate the mechanism outside the sealed room.

Feng Changge heard the noise and frowned with a look of displeasure.

"What is it?"

Although he was annoyed, Feng Changge still responded.

He opened the door of the sealed room and let a flustered disciple in.

"Sect Master, three young women broke into the sect and started a massacre!"

The disciple's had a panicked tone. "Three elders have been killed, and two elders are even seriously injured. Please go out and take a look!"

"What?!"

Feng Changge's expression changed and turned dark.

"Someone dares to cause trouble in my Phantom Blood Sect?"

Feng Changge was currently waiting for the Demon Blood Great Pill to be refined, and this needed a stable environment.

But now, someone actually came to cause trouble.

Feng Changge walked out of the sealed room.

Sure enough, the moment he walked out of the secret room, Feng Changge sensed the aura of a true domain realm martial artist.

He quickly rushed over and saw Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu killing the disciples of the Phantom Blood Sect while rescuing the imprisoned people.

Feng Changge was furious.

"Who came to my Phantom Blood Sect to cause trouble?"

Feng Changge ignored Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu and rushed towards Si Ying.

"It's Feng Changge!"

After sensing the other party's aura, Si Ying instantly confirmed the other party's identity.

"Feng Changge, today is the day you die!"

Si Ying took out her dao weapon longsword and attacked Feng Changge.

"Dao weapon?"

Feng Changge noticed the power of the longsword in Si Ying's hand. He was shocked at first, then his expression became flushed with excitement.

"Back in the mystic realm, I didn't even get a complete dao weapon, but now someone is delivering it to me."

Feng Changge laughed loudly and took out a damaged dagger from his pocket.

This dagger was the damaged dao weapon Feng Changge had obtained from the mystic realm.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Instantly, there were blade lights and sword shadows.

'Not good, Feng Changge is already a half-step dao realm master, and he also has a damaged dao weapon!'

After fighting for a while, Si Ying realized that she was at a disadvantage.

"I know who you are, you are Si Ying, the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect!"

Feng Changge had an excited expression. "Fortunately, you have just advanced to the true domain realm not long ago, and you are not used to your dao weapon. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to keep you here today!"

Afterwards, Feng Changge exerted his full strength.

"Thunder-attribute Extreme Blade!"

After a flurry of attacks, Feng Changge defeated Si Ying, causing her to be covered in injuries.

"The dao weapon is mine!"

Feng Changge seriously injured Si Ying with one slash before snatching the weapon.

He then captured Si Ying.

"Senior Sister Si!"

Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu were anxious and quickly came to rescue her.

"Go!"

Si Ying felt hopeless. She didn't expect Feng Changge to be so strong.

"Want to leave?"

Feng Changge didn't give Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu a chance to escape at all. He captured them as well.

"I will lock you up first. Once I advance to the dao realm, I will use your blood to cultivate!"

Feng Changge laughed savagely.

…

At this moment.

Inside the alchemy room.

'Someone seems to be fighting outside…'

Xu Ning was focused on observing Xiang Nanchun's refinement of the Demon Blood Great Pill, but he suddenly sensed a battle was going on outside the alchemy room.

Although the isolation effect of the alchemy room was good, Xu Ning still noticed it with his acute senses.

'Could it be that someone came to the Phantom Blood Sect to seek revenge?'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

As the Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, Feng Changge had countless enemies, so it was normal for people to come to find him.

'It should have been quelled by Feng Changge…'

The battle outside ended quickly.

Xu Ning was not surprised. With Feng Changge's strength as a half-step dao realm master and his damaged dao weapon, few people in State Jifeng were his opponent.

Bang!

A muffled sound came from the furnace.

A putrid smell then came from the furnace.

"Another failure…"

Xu Ning was not surprised.

After four hours, Xiang Nanchun had refined the Demon Blood Great Pill more than a dozen times, but each time he failed.

"The refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill is really difficult to fathom…"

Xiang Nanchun sighed.

"Mmm…"

Xu Ning casually responded and thought to himself. 'If I personally refine this Demon Blood Great Pill and use the dao weapon pill furnace, I should be able to successfully refine it once every ten tries…'

Xu Ning had the inheritance of a master alchemist as a foundation, so it was much easier for him to figure out the refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill.

Xu Ning had the ability to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill, but he decided not to refine it personally because he wanted to observe the process of the Demon Blood Great Pill's formation.

What he wanted was not the pill to be created, but to leave behind a hidden hand in the Demon Blood Great Pill to deal with Feng Changge.

Therefore, the process of taking apart the Demon Blood Great Pill and analyzing its medicinal properties was what Xu Ning needed to do.

"Continue refining."

Xu Ning ordered Xiang Nanchun.

If Xiang Nanchun refined more, Xu Ning would be able to unravel more of the details.

"Understood."

Xiang Nanchun responded, but he was not very willing.

As a high-level alchemist, Xiang Nanchun felt very frustrated that he still couldn't find a way to refine the pill.

In the past, he would have thrown aside the pill furnace and left to relax his mind.

But Xu Ning was urging him, so he could only concentrate on refining.

Very soon, three days went by.

Over the past three days, the raw materials that Feng Changge had prepared at the beginning had been used up. Even the hundred sets of raw materials that were delivered the second time were about to be completely used up.

'This time, it seems to be working…'

Xu Ning was still watching.

At this moment, Xiang Nanchun looked exhausted and his lips were pale.

Long periods of exhaustion and being unable to relax made Xiang Nanchun feel uncomfortable.

But after persevering for so long, he finally figured out a way to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill.

Xiang Nanchun activated his alchemy technique, separated the medicinal properties, and refined the pill.

'It's over, I'm going to fail again…'

Xiang Nanchun suddenly felt that there were flaws in his refinement process.

However, Xu Ning suddenly opened the lid of the furnace with his true qi and threw in a handful of spirit medicine powder.

This spirit medicine powder was not part of the recipe for the Demon Blood Great Pill.

"Continue refining!"

Xu Ning ordered.

Xiang Nanchun discovered that after Xu Ning added the spirit medicine powder, the unstable furnace stabilized again.

When Xiang Nanchun saw this, he focused on refining.

Bang!

This time, a palm-sized black pill jumped out of the pill furnace.

The Demon Blood Great Pill was done.

"This is the Demon Blood Great Pill?"

Xu Ning took a step forward and pinched the Demon Blood Great Pill.

He observed it and discovered that there was no smell of blood, but instead a medicinal fragrance.

The medicinal fragrance was so strong that it was almost tangible.

"The Demon Blood Great Pill is done…"

Xiang Nanchun leaned forward. "Master Xu, is that a Demon Blood Great Pill? There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"The spirit medicine powder you sprinkled in just now doesn't seem to be in the recipe for the Demon Blood Great Pill. Can this Demon Blood Great Pill fool Feng Changge?"

Xiang Nanchun was afraid that he would be killed by Feng Changge once he saw through the pill.

"There's no problem…"

Xu Ning smiled.

The spirit medicine powder he put in just now could not only help the Demon Blood Great Pill be refined, but also serve as Xu Ning's hidden hand..

Report chapter

Chapter 190: Hidden Hand

"Master Xu, what should we do once the Demon Blood Great Pill is refined?"

Xiang Nanchun asked.

"Naturally, we will give the Demon Blood Great Pill to Feng Changge."

Xu Ning smiled.

Xiang Nanchun pursed his lips and stopped talking.

He knew very well that there was definitely something wrong with this Demon Blood Great Pill, and Xu Ning was plotting against Feng Changge.

However, Xiang Nanchun chose to remain silent about this. He only hoped that Feng Changge would not find anything wrong, otherwise he would definitely be slapped to death.

"Let's go and see Feng Changge."

Xu Ning handed the Demon Blood Great Pill to Xiang Nanchun.

Xiang Nanchun took the Demon Blood Great Pill and placed it in a wooden box.

After making the preparations, the two walked out of the alchemy room.

"The Demon Blood Great Pill has been refined?"

Huang Zongshao was waiting outside the alchemy room with several disciples.

"That is right."

Xiang Nanchun acted like a master, while Xu Ning remained silent.

When Huang Zongshao heard this, he glanced at Xu Ning and said, "I will go with you to see the Sect Master."

Afterwards, Huang Zongshao followed behind the two, while the other disciples entered the alchemy room to clean up.

"A few days ago, did an enemy attack the Phantom Blood Sect?"

Xu Ning asked Huang Zongshao in a low voice.

He could still see the traces of a battle from a few days ago.

"A strong enemy did came." Huang Zongshao also responded in a low voice. "It was Si Ying, the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect, and two common seal realm disciples. They killed three elders, nearly ten deacons, and more than a hundred disciples."

"Thousand Flood Sect's Si Ying?"

Xu Ning had heard of this name before. Apparently, her aptitude was even higher than He Mingye's.

"That's right." Huang Zongshao said, "As soon as Si Ying broke through to the true domain realm, she found out where our sect was. She thought she could destroy the Phantom Blood Sect with a dao weapon, but she didn't expect that Feng Changge had already broken through to become a half-step dao realm master and also possessed a damaged dao weapon. In the end, she was easily defeated by Feng Changge and is now imprisoned."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning nodded as he pondered.

The Thousand Flood Sect had a good relationship with the Yuelan Sect. If there was a chance, he would see if he could rescue Si Ying and her fellow disciples.

…

Inside the stone hall.

Feng Changge sat cross-legged alone.

Although he had just experienced a fierce battle three days ago, Feng Changge's condition had been adjusted quite well.

The current Feng Changge felt that he could completely devour the Demon Blood Great Pill in a perfect state.

'Now that three days have passed, no reinforcements have come for Si Ying yet. It seems that the decision to come to the Phantom Blood Sect should be personal and not the sect's.'

Feng Changge opened his eyes with a sharp gaze.

He was afraid that Si Ying would have reinforcements, so he no longer hid in the sealed room. Instead he stayed in the stone hall to deal with any emergencies that might pop up.

'Although we lost a lot of elites, being able to capture Si Ying alive and obtain a complete dao weapon is completely worth it.'

Feng Changge was even quite satisfied with this.

'The only unfortunate thing is that the dao weapon is of the water attribute and not thunder. I can't use it…'

Feng Changge felt a little regretful. 'But it's fine. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will exchange this water attribute dao weapon with someone else for a thunder attribute dao weapon.'

Although Feng Changge felt that he would break through to the dao realm soon, refining a dao weapon was quite time-consuming for a dao realm master.

Therefore, after entering the dao realm, he still had to use a dao weapon forged by others.

"Sect Master!"

Huang Zongshao's voice came from outside the stone hall.

"What is it?"

Feng Changge asked.

"Alchemist Tao and Alchemist Xiang wish to see you."

Huang Zongshao responded.

"The two of them want to see me?"

Feng Changge's eyes flashed. 'Do they want to see me because the Demon Blood Great Pill has been refined?'

"Please!"

Feng Changge stood up and walked towards the door of the stone hall.

"Sect Master Feng, I'm fortunate to not disappoint you, the Demon Blood Great Pill has been refined!"

As soon as Xiang Nanchun entered the stone hall, he took the initiative to speak.

"Good! Good!"

Feng Changge laughed loudly with an extremely excited expression. "Where is the Demon Blood Great Pill?"

"Right here."

Xiang Nanchun brought out the wooden box containing the Demon Blood Great Pill.

Feng Changge carefully grabbed ahold of it, then he opened the wooden box and took out the Demon Blood Great Pill.

"Ssss…"

Feng Changge held the Demon Blood Great Pill and sniffed it with his nose. Instantly, his lungs were filled with fragrance.

Afterwards, he carefully observed the Demon Blood Great Pill.

Xiang Nanchun was nervous, afraid that Feng Changge would notice something wrong.

On the other hand, Xu Ning looked calm.

"That's right, this is a Demon Blood Great Pill, and it is a perfectly refined Demon Blood Great Pill!"

Feng Changge's hand even trembled slightly.

This was because the more perfect the Demon Blood Great Pill was, the less likely he would encounter danger after swallowing it, and the higher the probability of successfully advancing.

'Xiang Nanchun really didn't disappoint me…'

Feng Changge thought in his heart. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xiang Nanchun, then at Xu Ning and Huang Zongshao next to him. 'It's just that this Demon Blood Great Pill is too precious. If the pill formula and alchemy technique are revealed, it will be a huge loss for me.'

'I have to hide this secret…'

Feng Changge lowered his head slightly to hide the ruthlessness in his eyes.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun did not notice this.

Only Xu Ning noticed something strange.

"Brother Xiang, your alchemy technique has improved greatly compared to back then!"

Feng Changge looked up again and patted Xiang Nanchun's shoulder happily.

Xiang Nanchun was relieved.

It seemed that Feng Changge didn't notice anything strange about the Demon Blood Great Pill.

"Thank you, Sect Master Feng."

Xiang Nanchun responded.

"Zongshao, take Alchemist Xiang and Alchemist Tao to rest first. They must have consumed a lot of energy to refine this Demon Blood Great Pill, so they must rest well."

Feng Changge waved his hand and said.

"Understood."

Huang Zongshao accepted the order, not noticing anything strange about Feng Changge.

The moment the three of them turned around, Feng Changge's face was filled with murderous intent.

"Thunder-attribute Extreme Blade!"

Without any warning, Feng Changge suddenly exploded, the true qi and attribute power in his body surged.

Three lightning blade seals suddenly condensed and rushed towards the three of them.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

In an instant, the three lightning blade seals pierced through the backs of the three people. The power of thunder spread out with the power of annihilation.

Xiang Nanchun was caught off guard, and his life was instantly ended.

Xu Ning also fell to the ground with Xiang Nanchun, as though he didn't react in time.

Only Huang Zongshao noticed the danger ahead of time and turned his body slightly.

The thunder blade seal did not pierce his heart, but instead it severed his arm.

"Sect Master, what are you…"

Huang Zongshao turned around and looked at Feng Changge in horror.

"Zongshao, don't blame me, the secret of the Demon Blood Great Pill cannot be exposed!"

This time, Feng Changge condensed several blade seals and suddenly slashed down, killing Huang Zongshao.

"My apologies."

Looking at the three people on the ground, Feng Changge said in an apologetic tone, but the corners of his mouth were curved into a smile. "In order to keep the secret of the Demon Blood Great Pill from leaking, you have to suffer."

'I'll deal with the disciples who have come into contact with the materials of the Demon Blood Great Pill, then I won't have anything to worry about.'

Although he had killed a capable assistant, Feng Changge did not feel that it was a pity.

After he advanced to the dao realm, as long as he waved his arm, there would definitely be many Demon Sect experts coming to seek refuge. At that time, even a true domain realm master would be willing to follow him.

"Dao realm, here I come!"

Feng Changge stuffed the Demon Blood Great Pill into his mouth.

Gulp.

Feng Changge swallowed the entire Demon Blood Great Pill.

He felt the Demon Blood Great Pill distributing the medicinal properties in his body. His entire body began to feel the piercing pain of the surging medicinal properties.

'This is the feeling!'

Although he was in pain, Feng Changge was excited.

The medicinal power of the Demon Blood Great Pill washed over Feng Changge's limbs and bones.

'The Demon Blood Great Pill will first cleanse my true qi and attribute power, then wash my blood and transform it into demon blood before condensing my true qi and attribute power again, thereby achieving a breakthrough!'

Feng Changge's eyes were full of madness.

'Once my blood transforms into demon blood, not only will I advance to become a true dao realm master, but I will also be able to cultivate even faster with demonic techniques in the future!'

The effects of the Demon Blood Great Pill were terrifying, which was why Feng Changge wanted to hide his secret and kill them.

'After advancing to the dao realm master, I will dominate the seventeen states of the Abyss North. Then, I'll cross the Endless Sea Abyss and head to State Wansheng to start another legend!'

Feng Changge was already looking forward to his future.

The true qi in Feng Changge's body had been completely consumed by the medicinal properties.

Afterwards, his attribute power was completely worn down.

'This seems a little too careless of me…'

Feng Changge was blinded by the desire to advance quickly, so he didn't consider the environment where he was advancing.

Now that he had no true qi or attribute power in his body, Feng Changge was just an ordinary mortal realm martial artist.

'But it's okay, I'm safe in the sect. Moreover, I only need a short time for my normal blood to be replaced with demon blood, so it's not a problem at all.'

Feng Changge slowly calmed himself down.

Time slowly passed by.

"Huh?"

Feng Changge gradually noticed that something was wrong. 'My true qi and attribute power has already been wiped clean so why hasn't my blood been cleansed after so long?'

Feng Changge was a little flustered.

'Could there be a problem with the refinement of the Demon Blood Great Pill?'

Feng Changge began to panic. 'Impossible, the quality of this Demon Blood Great Pill is obviously perfect!'

'Impossible, there can't be a problem…'

Feng Changge couldn't stay calm anymore.

Pfft!

As his mental state was getting unstable, the medicinal properties in Feng Changge's body suddenly went out of control, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

'Not good, is my advancement going to fail?'

Feng Changge knew very well that once his advancement failed, he would drop a major realm, or even die.

'What should I do! What should I do!'

Feng Changge became more and more flustered.

"Hold your breath and calm your mind, maybe it will get better."

A voice suddenly rang out in the silent stone hall.

Feng Changge looked up and saw that Alchemist Tao, who he had killed before, was standing in the stone hall.

Chapter 191: Mystic Realm Opportunity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"You… how did you…"

Feng Changge's pupils shrank. He was confused at first, then he became frightened.

Xu Ning touched his wound.

The spot where the thunder blade seal had pierced his body had been completely healed. Only his damaged clothes and some blood stains could prove that Xu Ning had indeed been injured just now.

Xu Ning had already noticed Feng Changge's murderous intent.

Thus, Xu Ning was ready for the sneak attack.

When the thunder blade pierced through his chest, under Xu Ning's deliberate guidance and resistance, it did not cause any attribute damage to Xu Ning. Moreover, it also avoided his heart, leaving only his chest and back injured.

With this kind of minor injury, after activating the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, Xu Ning quickly recovered.

"Surprised?"

Xu Ning wiped his face with his true qi, returning to his original appearance.

"You are indeed a Demon Sect martial artist. You are ruthless and decisive. You even killed your deputy sect master without hesitation."

Xu Ning felt that Feng Changge's methods were ruthless.

Feng Changge obviously didn't notice the problem with Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, but in order to protect the pill formula and refining method of the Demon Blood Great Pill, he still killed the two.

"Who are you!"

Feng Changge felt a little confused.

How did Xiang Nanchun's follower suddenly become another person?

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Shouldn't you thank me? If it weren't for me, this Demon Blood Great Pill wouldn't have been successfully refined."

Feng Changge's brain was buzzing.

Soon, he reacted, reaching out his hand and pointing at Xu Ning with a trembling finger. "The Demon Blood Great Pill, did you do something?"

"Do something?"

Xu Ning pretended to think. "Maybe, I just put some random materials in the Demon Blood Great Pill. The materials won't affect the medicinal properties of the Demon Blood Great Pill, it will only just extend the process of the demon blood transformation."

Prior to this, Xu Ning had watched Xiang Nanchun refine the Demon Blood Great Pill time and time again, and after his failures, he sorted out the medicinal materials and observed the changes in the medicinal properties. With his deep knowledge of medicinal pills, he had already figured out the refining principle of the Demon Blood Great Pill, as well as its effects and process.

After understanding everything, Xu Ning mixed some medicinal powder into it according to his knowledge of medicinal pills.

The mixed medicinal powder was not poisonous, but it could change the effect of the Demon Blood Great Pill on the human body, delaying the process of the demon blood transformation.

Feng Changge finally realized that the young man in front of him was also a powerful alchemist.

Moreover, according to him, this Demon Blood Great Pill seemed to have been refined successfully with his help.

"Are you Xiang Nanchun's assistant alchemist or not?"

Feng Changge still wanted to know the truth.

"Yes or no, it's meaningless."

Xu Ning walked in front of Feng Changge step by step. "I just want to know where the mystic realm you visited recently is."

Feng Changge was taken aback, then he laughed wildly.

"You spent so much effort just to find out the mystic realm?"

Feng Changge's expression was ruthless. "But why should I tell you?"

At this moment, Feng Changge recognized the reality he was in.

Now that his true qi and attribute power had been dispersed, he was unable to fight against this person.

If he wanted to live, he had to preserve his value.

Once he revealed the location of the mystic realm, he would lose his value and be killed.

"I advise you to say it quickly, otherwise you will suffer unnecessary pain."

Faced with Feng Changge's bloody hands, Xu Ning showed no mercy.

"Pain?"

Feng Changge smiled. "I have been in State Jifeng for decades, what haven't I experienced? Physical pain is nothing to me anymore."

"You forgot that I am an alchemist."

Xu Ning's eyes narrowed. "Do you know of a pill called the Truth Pill?"

"You want to use the Truth Pill to force me to reveal my secrets?"

Feng Changge laughed and didn't care at all. As a martial artist of the demonic path, he did everything to the extreme. Using the Truth Pill to trick others was something he often did in the past.

Therefore, Feng Changge was very familiar with the Truth Pill.

"Although the Truth Pill is good, it depends on who you are using it on."

Feng Changge was fearless. "The prerequisite for using the Truth Pill is extremely harsh. Only by tormenting the mental state of the target and forcing them to lose all rationality can the effects of the Truth Pill be displayed."

"You can deal with those sect disciples with shallow temperaments and torture them, and maybe it will have some effect. But for me, it won't work at all. The martial arts will of us demonic cultivators is as solid as a rock, indestructible if I do say so myself. With just you alone, you can't shake my mind."

Feng Changge felt like he was in control of Xu Ning.

Feng Changge slowly felt the changes in his body.

His blood began to have a burning feeling.

This was the sign that the demon blood was about to be created.

'This person in front of me has only delayed the time needed for the Demon Blood Great Pill to create the demon blood. He didn't completely change its medicinal properties. As long as I delay enough time, I can complete the creation of the demon blood and advance to the dao realm!'

His body began to change, but Feng Changge's expression remained unchanged. He continued to pretend to be unafraid of death.

'When I advance to the dao realm, I will definitely cut this person into pieces!'

Feng Changge suppressed his hatred.

Xu Ning looked at Feng Changge and shook his head.

He had already noticed the changes in Feng Changge's body.

Of course, Xu Ning would not give Feng Changge enough time to create the demon blood.

"Enough nonsense."

Xu Ning took out two pills, one black and one blue.

He tapped Feng Changge's chest and put the black pill into Feng Changge's mouth, then forcing him to swallow it.

"It's useless for you to give me Truth Pills like this."

Feng Changge was not afraid at all.

"You didn't see it clearly, the pill I gave you just now was not a Truth Pill, but a Heart Demon Pill."

Xu Ning smiled.

"Heart Demon Pill, what is that?"

This was the first time Feng Changge had heard of this pill.

The name of this pill sounded more like a demonic pill.

"A pill to tempt your inner demon."

Xu Ning replied briefly.

This Heart Demon Pill was an extremely unorthodox pill, and it was not normally used.

If he hadn't made ample preparations before coming to the Phantom Blood Sect, Xu Ning wouldn't have refined it.

If the person who swallowed it had a strong inner demon in their heart, after eating a Heart Demon Pill, it would trigger the negative emotions in their heart, causing them to lose their rationality, completely collapse mentally, and might even cause them to be unconscious.

Generally speaking, the negative emotions in the hearts of ordinary martial artists and martial artists were limited. Even if they ate a Heart Demon Pill, it would at most affect their mental state.

If someone with a pure mind took it, it might not even have any effect.

However, Feng Changge was a powerful demonic path martial artist. Although he had experienced many hardships and had a strong character, the negative emotions he had accumulated over the years were terrifying.

Feng Changge also realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Feng Changge felt that he was hallucinating.

People who had been killed by him, even people he had forgotten, kept appearing in front of him.

The figures turned into smoke before condensing into human faces. They struggled, roared, and screamed. They rushed in front of him and began to bite him.

"Get lost!"

Feng Changge tried his best to disperse them, but it was useless.

More and more smoke faces rushed up and soon drowned him. For a moment, Feng Changge couldn't differentiate between the mental pain and the physical pain.

Xu Ning stood aside and watched Feng Changge struggle. 'This Heart Demon Pill is quite useful against Demon Sect martial artists…'

However, refining a Heart Demon Pill was extremely troublesome, and the materials were difficult to find.

Moreover, if someone practiced a mental technique, they could resist the effects of the Heart Demon Pill.

This was why Heart Demon Pills were relatively unpopular, and not many people knew about them.

"Ahhh!"

Feng Changge began to scream.

Although Xu Ning didn't know what he saw, he could feel his despair.

Pfft!

Suddenly, Feng Changge spat out another mouthful of blood.

He could have slowly created the demon blood, but after his mental state collapsed, Feng Changge's creation of the demon blood failed.

"I want to advance to the dao realm and kill all of you!"

Feng Changge began to talk nonsense.

Finally, after fifteen minutes, Feng Changge completely lost control of his mind.

Xu Ning knew that the time was right, so he stuffed the Truth Pill into Feng Changge's mouth.

After eating the Truth Pill, Feng Changge was completely quiet and his eyes were blank.

"Feng Changge, let me ask you, where is the mystic realm where you obtained the pill recipe for the Demon Blood Great Pill?"

Xu Ning asked the crucial question.

"The mystic realm is in Yunfeng Lake, State Chungu."

Feng Changge was in a daze. His expression was stiff and his words were mechanical.

"Yunfeng Lake, State Chungu…"

Xu Ning remembered this place.

"What secrets are there in that mystic realm? What experiences did you go through there? What did you obtain, and where did you hide them?"

Xu Ning threw out all the questions he had.

Feng Changge paused for a moment before answering Xu Ning's questions one by one.

Xu Ning listened and remembered them one by one.

After nearly an hour, Xu Ning asked all the details he wanted to know and obtained all the answers he wanted.

'There should be nothing left to ask…'

After confirming that Feng Changge was useless, Xu Ning waved his hand and a stream of true qi pierced his head.

The current Feng Changge was only in the mortal realm, so he couldn't defend against Xu Ning's attack.

'Feng Changge has been dealt with. Next, I will plunder everything he has obtained from the mystic realm, as well as his personal belongings.'

After Xu Ning tidied up the scene, he began to search for Feng Changge's storage room.

Soon, Xu Ning found the location and began to search for the resources he needed.

'There are too few medicinal pills and spirit medicine, but it's better than nothing!'

Xu Ning obtained more than 20,000 units of energy from the search.

Report chapter

Chapter 192: Saving Si Ying

'Even though the Phantom Blood Sect hasn't been established for a long time, their reserves are still a little low…'

Xu Ning felt a little regretful. 'More than half of the 20,000-odd energy were from pills refined with that non-native technique. This shows that if it weren't for Feng Changge's gains in the mystic realm, his own medicinal pills and spirit medicine reserves would be pitifully small…'

However, in addition to these medicinal pills and spirit medicines, Xu Ning also obtained a damaged dao weapon and a complete water attribute dao weapon.

According to Xu Ning's investigation, the manipulation mark in the water attribute dao weapon had just been erased, so he guessed that the owner of this water attribute dao weapon might be Si Ying.

'Let's see where Si Ying is being held…'

Xu Ning wanted to plunder the other elders and deacons of the Phantom Blood Sect, but after seeing Feng Changge's pitiful reserves, Xu Ning stopped thinking about it.

If he had that kind of time, it was better for him to refine more pills.

The people in the Phantom Blood Sect didn't even know that Feng Changge had died.

Before Feng Changge entered the stone hall, he had already transferred all the disciples to stand guard far away from the stone hall.

Only some attentive disciples noticed that after Deputy Sect Master Huang Zongshao brought the two alchemists into the stone hall, they did not come out again.

But they did not care about this. In their opinion, Sect Master Feng Changge could even defeat the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect, so he would definitely not encounter any danger.

At this moment.

Inside a special prison cell.

Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu's meridians were completely sealed by Feng Changge, and they were also wrapped in metal chains.

"Yiyi, Lulu, I was too reckless and arrogant. I've harmed you."

Si Ying had a guilty look on her face.

Prior to this, she was confident that after advancing to the true domain realm and holding a dao weapon, it would not be difficult for her to destroy the Phantom Blood Sect, whose strongest practitioner was an ordinary true domain realm martial artist.

After all, a true domain realm martial artist in possession of a dao weapon was almost undefeatable, except when they met a half-step dao realm master.

And Si Ying never expected that Feng Changge would receive a mystic realm's inheritance and advance to a half-step dao realm master, not to mention that he also had a damaged dao weapon.

With Feng Changge's vicious demonic martial arts experience, he easily defeated Si Ying.

"Senior Sister Si, don't feel guilty."

Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu also comforted Si Ying.

Ever since they entered the Thousand Flood Sect, they had always regarded Si Ying as their role model, and they listened to her without any complaints.

The more Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu acted like this, the more guilty Si Ying felt.

Now that they were so far away from the sect, no one knew that they were imprisoned. In such circumstances, it was too difficult to escape.

However, just when Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu no longer had any hope of successfully escaping, they suddenly heard a scream outside the prison.

'That seems to be the prison guard…'

Si Ying noticed this.

Afterwards, Si Ying saw a young man in a martial arts outfit walking in.

It was Xu Ning who had come searching for them.

Swoosh!

Seeing them, Xu Ning used his true qi to break open the cage and walked in.

"You are?"

Si Ying was taken aback. She then realized that this person might be their rescuer.

However, she didn't recognize this person.

"I'm Xu Ning."

Xu Ning slashed at the metal chain on Si Ying's body with his true qi.

However, the metal chain only broke slightly from the blow.

Seeing this, Xu Ning mixed his true qi with the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.

Soon, Xu Ning completely shattered the chains on the three of them.

"The Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword?"

Si Ying recognized Xu Ning's moves even when he only used his sword qi.

"What is your relationship with He Mingye? Why are you here?"

Si Ying hurriedly asked while Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked at Xu Ning curiously.

"Oh?"

Xu Ning didn't expect Si Ying to recognize the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.

It seemed that Si Ying and He Mingye were old friends.

"That's right, I am Xu Ning, a disciple of the Yuelan Sect. He Mingye is my senior brother. We have the same master."

Xu Ning answered truthfully, "I was able to find this place because I figured out the base of the Phantom Blood Sect and came to do some errands."

"Sect Master Mi recruited disciples again?"

Xu Ning had only been in the sect for more than a year, and he was relatively low-key. He did not have a resounding reputation.

Thus, it was normal for Si Ying and the others to not recognize him.

"I am Si Ying from the Thousand Flood Sect. They are Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu from the Thousand Flood Sect."

Si Ying said, "Thank you Junior Brother Xu Ning for rescuing us."

Although Xu Ning's appearance here was a coincidence, they were sincerely grateful to Xu Ning.

If it weren't for Xu Ning's appearance, the three of them wouldn't have known what would happen next.

After the metal chain was broken, Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu began to clear their meridians.

Without the shackles of the special metal chain, they could easily clear the blockage in their meridians.

"Senior Brother Xu Ning, how did you know we are here?"

Jiang Yiyi asked Xu Ning.

"I heard that a few days ago, a disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect was captured and imprisoned here, so I came here to take a look."

Xu Ning responded.

Xu Ning did not elaborate on the reason and purpose of his visit, so Si Ying and the other two did not probe.

"We are currently in a dangerous situation, so we should leave this place quickly. If we are discovered by Feng Changge, the consequences will be disastrous."

Si Ying still didn't know that Feng Changge was dead.

She just wanted to leave this place quickly and return to the sect to find reinforcements to destroy the Phantom Blood Sect and take back her dao weapon.

"No need to hurry."

Xu Ning waved his hand. "Feng Changge is dead."

"What?!"

Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu were shocked.

They knew how strong Feng Changge was.

Only a short time has passed and now, he was dead.

Si Ying stared at Xu Ning's calm face. She seemed to realize something and made a bold guess. "Junior Brother Xu, did you kill Feng Changge?"

However, as soon as Si Ying said this, she felt that it was ridiculous.

Xu Ning no longer concealed his aura so she could sense Xu Ning's strength. He was only in the void realm eighth stage, so how could he kill Feng Changge, a half-step dao realm master?

"No."

As soon as Xu Ning's words made Si Ying feel relieved, she was shocked again. "He cultivates a demonic technique, so he has periods when he becomes weak. I just took the opportunity to set up a trap and finish him off."

Xu Ning's words were half true and half false. He did not reveal the details to Si Ying.

"This…"

Si Ying was shocked and speechless.

She thought that she was the number one true disciple in State Jifeng, but reality told her that she was no match for Junior Brother Xu.

"I am an alchemist, so I have some special methods."

Xu Ning explained again.

'And also an alchemist…'

Si Ying found this hard to imagine.

Xu Ning was obviously much younger than her and almost as old as Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu.

Reaching the true intent realm at this age was already quite difficult, and on top of that he was also an alchemist.

Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked at Xu Ning, their eyes shining.

"By the way, Senior Sister Si…"

Xu Ning took out Si Ying's water attribute dao sword. "Is this your dao weapon?"

"Yes!"

Si Ying quickly responded.

"In this case, I shall return it to its owner."

Xu Ning returned the longsword to Si Ying.

Although a dao weapon was valuable, for Xu Ning, the actual increase to his strength was limited. Plus, he already had a dao weapon with all attributes.

Si Ying took it, her face full of joy.

This dao weapon was just given to her by her master, so it held an extraordinary significance to her.

"Junior Brother Xu Ning, thank you so much."

Si Ying thanked him again.

She wanted to give Xu Ning some compensation, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

There was nothing on her that was as valuable as this water attribute dao weapon.

"Since everyone is safe, I am relieved. Let's part ways here."

Now that he had saved them and returned the dao weapon, Xu Ning wanted to quickly go to State Chungu and explore the mystic realm.

Xu Ning already knew most of the secrets of the mystic realm, so he was only waiting to enter and obtain the treasures there.

Xu Ning was almost certain that as long as he walked out of the mystic realm, he would definitely be a true domain realm martial artist, or even a half-step dao realm master.

Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked disappointed when Xu Ning did not even hesitate to leave.

They wanted to talk to Xu Ning again and get to know him better.

"Junior Brother Xu Ning, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit you personally at the Yuelan Sect."

Si Ying noticed that Xu Ning had something to do.

"Okay, I will definitely welcome you."

The three of them walked out of the underground prison and parted ways.

Si Ying and the other two watched Xu Ning leave.

"That Senior Brother Xu Ning is amazing. Maybe he is even stronger than He Mingye."

Jiang Yiyi's tone was full of respect. "In the future, he will definitely surpass He Mingye and become the number one true disciple of the Yuelan Sect."

"That person is indeed powerful…"

Si Ying had never felt such respect for a disciple of the same generation.

In her opinion, Xu Ning not only had outstanding martial arts aptitude, but he also had the ability to refine pills. If he could lay a trap for Feng Changge, it meant that his alchemy skills must be extremely high.

Moreover, after obtaining the dao weapon, he did not take it for himself. Instead, he returned it to its owner. Therefore, his morals were also good.

"Senior Sister Si, are we returning to the sect?"

Si Ying was still looking at the place where Xu Ning left when Jiang Lulu asked.

Hearing the question, Si Ying came back to her senses. She glanced at the Phantom Blood Sect's disciples who had just been killed by Xu Ning.

"No."

Si Ying said, "Now that Feng Changge is dead, no one in the Phantom Blood Sect can compete with us. Next, I will personally destroy the Phantom Blood Sect and rescue the innocent people from the Phantom Blood Sect."

Over the next few days, after Si Ying destroyed the headquarters of the Phantom Blood Sect, she destroyed all their branches one by one.

With this accomplishment, Si Ying's reputation soared.

In State Jifeng, all martial arts sects praised Si Ying.

However, Si Ying ignored these praises.

According to Si Ying, the person who killed Feng Changge was not her, but a Yuelan Sect disciple.

And the name of the Yuelan Sect disciple was Xu Ning.

Chapter 193: Red Sea Demon Lord

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Because of Si Ying, Xu Ning became famous in State Jifeng.

This was the first time many people had heard of Xu Ning.

When they went to investigate, they discovered that this person named Xu Ning was the disciple of Mi Xingye from the Yuelan Sect. His martial arts aptitude was terrifying, and he was already very prestigious in the Yuelan Sect.

Many admirers even traveled thousands of miles to the Yuelan Sect, wanting to see Xu Ning's glory.

However, to their disappointment, Xu Ning did not appear in the sect.

At this moment, Xu Ning had already ridden Little Gray and rushed all the way to the southernmost part of the seventeen states, State Chungu.

Xu Ning knew very well that the enemy beyond the Endless Sea Abyss was about to arrive, so he had to improve further and gain the strength to protect himself.

…

State Chungu

Yunfeng Lake

This place was covered by dark clouds and thunderstorms all year round.

The rivers, lakes, and swamps stretched out endlessly.

Several figures gathered in the center of Yunfeng Lake, searching around for something.

There were men and women, all wearing different clothes and carrying weapons. They stepped on the muddy water as if they were walking on flat land.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, a man in green holding a black stone shouted excitedly.

The black stone in his hand emitted a dark light, as if it had sensed something.

"You found it?"

The green-clothed man shouted, causing the others who were still searching around to gather.

When the others approached the green-clothed man, the black stones in their hands also flashed frantically.

"Good! Good!"

Everyone looked excited.

"Our hard work paid off. We finally found the inheritance ground of the Red Sea Demon Lord!"

A burly bearded man said excitedly.

This person was more than two meters tall. He was wearing a sleeveless vest, and his exposed arm was full of muscles. His veins were bulging, as if his body contained extremely strong power.

On his back was a sharp giant axe.

The surface of the giant axe was engraved with strange lines, giving off a terrifying sense of oppression.

Obviously, this giant axe was a dao weapon.

"Red Sea Demon Lord has left behind his inheritance for too long. I wonder if anyone has entered it over the years."

A slender woman next to the burly bearded man said worriedly.

"I don't know about that."

The bearded man shook his head. "But even if someone came here, they hadn't taken away the main treasure. Otherwise, the black stone wouldn't have sensed anything."

"That's right."

The man's words made the others very excited.

"In this case, let's move quickly!"

Some people were already impatient.

"Okay!"

The bearded man responded.

He took off the giant axe on his back and swung it around.

The people around him quickly moved away.

Swoosh!

The bearded man injected true qi and attribute power into the giant axe and suddenly slashed into the mud.

The mud was split open and spread to two sides, extending deep into the lake. The separated mud seemed to be fixed in place, unable to close up.

"Let's go explore the mystic realm!"

The bearded man jumped in first.

The others followed closely behind and joined in.

It was not until the last person entered the mud that the mud slowly gathered together and the surface of the lake regained its serenity.

…

"State Chungu, Yunfeng Lake, we are almost there!"

Xu Ning was currently sitting on Little Gray's back.

From a distance, he could already see that the river and the mud in the Yunfeng Lake were connected and spreading endlessly.

Even the dark clouds above gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression before he even stepped in.

Xu Ning also felt that Little Gray was a little nervous.

"Don't panic."

Xu Ning gently stroked Little Gray's head.

Under Xu Ning's comfort, Little Gray calmed down a lot.

'This Yunfeng Lake is indeed dangerous.'

After flying into Yunfeng Lake, Xu Ning could feel countless terrifying auras in the mud and lake below him.

"As expected of State Chungu, which is connected to the Endless Sea Abyss. As the number one danger zone here, there are dangers everywhere in Yunfeng Lake."

At this moment, Xu Ning tensed up.

Although he was strong, he still had to be careful so that he would not screw up.

'Let's see where the mystic realm is…'

Xu Ning flipped his wrist and a black stone appeared in his hand.

This black stone was obtained from Feng Changge to sense the location of the mystic realm.

'According to Feng Changge, the entrance to the mystic realm is unpredictable. Only by holding this black stone can I sense it…'

Xu Ning had already obtained a lot of information about the mystic realm from Feng Changge by using the Truth Pill.

Whoosh!

As Xu Ning was searching for the entrance of the mystic realm on Little Gray, a fish-headed monster covered in mud suddenly appeared from the swamp below.

The fish-headed monster opened its bloody mouth. Its teeth were extremely sharp, and they were lined up closely.

With its ferocious appearance, it jumped more than a hundred meters, wanting to swallow Xu Ning and Little Gray together.

Little Gray noticed the abnormality, and its demon beast instincts made it feel danger.

Although it had become a mid level void realm demon beast, it did feel fear in its bloodline when facing this fish-headed monster.

This fish-headed monster was a high level void realm demon beast.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly reacted.

Water Cross Sword! Bright Fire Sword!

Immediately, several sword seals condensed in the air, slicing the fish-headed monster into several pieces.

After being sliced, the fish-headed monster did not lose its vitality immediately, but instead squirmed in the air.

However, when it fell onto the surface of the swamp, several monster and demon beasts emerged from the swamp, dragging its body into the swamp to gorge on.

'Truly dangerous…'

There was a hint of fear in Xu Ning's eyes.

"Little Gray…"

Xu Ning stroked Little Gray's feathers again. He could clearly feel Little Gray's unease and fear.

"Put me down and go back the way you came."

Xu Ning said to Little Gray.

Little Gray let out a soft cry, as if it wanted to stay with Xu Ning.

Xu Ning shook his head gently and said to Little Gray, "This place is too dangerous. If a more dangerous demon beast appears, I may not be able to protect you. Since we have just flown into Yunfeng Lake, it's still very close to fly your way back."

"Leave Yunfeng Lake and find a safe place nearby, then wait for me to come out."

Xu Ning whispered to Little Gray.

This time, Little Gray chose to listen to Xu Ning. It put Xu Ning down and left.

Xu Ning kept his eyes on Little Gray. After making sure that it was safely away from Yunfeng Lake, he slowly looked away.

Although in the beginning, Little Gray was just a demon beast that Xu Ning had subdued with violence, after being partners for so long, they had already formed a friendship.

Xu Ning obviously wouldn't put Little Gray in danger for his sake.

After Little Gray left, Xu Ning walked on the swamp river lake.

He could tell that many demon beasts under the swamp wanted to hunt him.

Faced with this situation, Xu Ning directly activated his strength as a void realm eighth stage true intent realm martial artist, causing countless demon beasts to consciously avoid him.

After that, Xu Ning focused on holding the black stone to search for the entrance to the mystic realm.

Five days and five nights went by.

"Found it!"

Finally, when he passed by a pond surrounded by mud, the black stone in Xu Ning's hand suddenly began to shine.

'The search process was so boring…'

Seeing this, Xu Ning was relieved, and he jumped into the pond.

The water under the pond was muddy, so Xu Ning wrapped his body with his true qi to block the water.

'I'm almost at the entrance of the mystic realm!'

The black stone in Xu Ning's hand was no longer flashing and was just constantly lit.

Soon, after diving several hundred meters into the pond, Xu Ning discovered that there was a vacuum in the water.

Additionally, there was a space vortex spinning in the vacuum.

'There!'

Xu Ning rushed in without hesitation.

The moment Xu Ning touched the space vortex, a huge force pulled Xu Ning inside.

Afterwards, he felt weightless.

Xu Ning was no longer unfamiliar with this sense of weightlessness. When he entered the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm, he had gone through similar experiences several times, so he did not panic at all.

When Xu Ning's body entered the space vortex, the space vortex disappeared.

The entrance to the mystic realm was unpredictable. After entering the entrance, the entrance would disappear and appear elsewhere.

'This is the mystic realm?'

After experiencing the feeling of being weightless, Xu Ning arrived at an empty space.

The space was gray, and there seemed to be strange energy fluctuations in the air.

'This is the first test of the mystic realm that Feng Changge mentioned, the strength test…'

Unlike the last time he entered the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm, Xu Ning knew a lot about this mystic realm.

'According to Feng Changge, the owner of this mystic realm is the Red Sea Demon Lord of State Wansheng, and he left this inheritance behind casually. The Red Sea Demon Lord is extremely strong, and he is a famous figure even in State Wansheng. Even if he left it behind casually, the inheritance inside is something that countless people yearn for. Even dao realm masters are attracted to it…'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'There are several checkpoints set up in Red Sea Demon Lord's mystic realm. The first checkpoint is the strength test, the second is the mental test, and the third is the aptitude test. There are still checkpoints after the third test, but Feng Changge didn't pass them.'

'Feng Changge was stuck in the third test. And after failing it, he was expelled from the mystic realm.'

'However, even after passing the first two stages, Feng Changge had already gained a lot. Not only did he become a half-step dao realm master, but he also obtained the pill formula and alchemy technique of the Demon Blood Great Pill, as well as a damaged dao weapon.'

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

Right at this moment, the strange power in the air around Xu Ning began to fluctuate.

Black fog condensed instantly.

Soon after, a hideous monster head condensed on top of the black fog.

In just a few seconds, black fog monsters were everywhere in the gray space.. They were densely packed, surrounding Xu Ning.

Report chapter

Chapter 194: Passing the Strength Test, Into the Mental Test

'Why does this scene look so familiar…'

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that in the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm, he had encountered a similar assessment in the stone hall of Shi Fengxu's inheritance.

But that was in the maze, and those black fog monsters were far weaker than the ones in front of him.

'According to what Feng Changge said, if I want to survive this test, I have to have the combat power of a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist, otherwise I will only be defeated and torn to pieces by these black fog monsters.'

If one was defeated in the strength test, they would die. If one was defeated in the mental test, they would lose their mind and their martial arts foundation would break down. If one was defeated in the aptitude test, it would be relatively safer. Although they would not receive any rewards from that test, they could still get out alive.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black fog monsters roared and swung their claws as they rushed towards Xu Ning.

In front of this, Xu Ning did not act arrogant at all. He immediately decided to use his bracer to kill these black fog monsters.

"Water Cross Sword, Bright Fire Sword!"

Dense red and blue sword seals spun and slashed around Xu Ning like ripples.

The black fog monsters that were torn apart by the sword seals instantly disintegrated into black fog after letting out a wail.

However, the black fog did not instantly disappear, but instead condensed into black pills.

The surface of the black pills was engraved with distorted lines, alongside traces of demonic qi hovering around it.

'If I didn't have a dao weapon, it would have taken a lot of effort to annihilate these black fog monsters, and I might even be injured…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

With the help of the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword, Xu Ning could easily contend against ordinary true domain realm martial artists.

And with a dao weapon on top, he could even challenge a half-step dao realm master.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The red and blue sword seals were like scythes, harvesting the black fog monsters one after another.

The screams of the black fog monsters echoed in Xu Ning's ears.

Finally, the last black fog monster was dealt with by Xu Ning.

The black fog monsters had completely disappeared into the gray space.

In their place were pills filled with demonic aura floating in the air.

'Is this the demonic pill that helped Feng Changge advance to a half-step dao realm master?'

Xu Ning took a demonic pill and pinched it in his hand.

When Feng Changge entered Red Sea Demon Lord's inheritance mystic realm, he had not yet reached the peak of the true domain realm.

He was even required to use all his strength to defeat those black fog monsters.

But after defeating the black fog monsters, he obtained a large number of demonic pills.

Although he didn't know what the quality of this demon pill was, after swallowing hundreds of demonic pills, Feng Changge immediately advanced to the peak of the true domain realm.

Moreover, the demonic qi in his body surged and his foundation soared.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Changge broke through and became a half-step dao realm master.

…

Discovered 50 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

'Only 50 units of energy…'

A notification came from the Martial Arts Panel. Xu Ning felt that the amount of energy was a little low.

'This unknown demonic pill is probably much more effective for a demonic path martial artist.'

Xu Ning could feel that the energy stored in this unknown demonic pill was more complimentary, and the demonic aura contained in it was actually its true essence.

Strictly speaking, swallowing this demon pill was far more cost-effective than absorbing the 50 units of energy.

But for Xu Ning, he would definitely not choose the former option.

First of all, he was not a demonic path martial artist, so swallowing it might not necessarily improve his realm.

Secondly, if the demonic aura in the demon pill entered his body, and it couldn't be expelled, he might be negatively affected.

"For me, the best choice is to take these demonic pills and sell them to a demonic path martial artist, then exchange the money for some spirit medicine and medicinal pills to absorb."

Xu Ning muttered before smiling to himself.

With Xu Ning's position and knowledge, it was impossible for him to help a demonic path martial artist.

If he did this, the price he would have to pay would be much higher than the money he could get.

'Since that's the case, I'll just absorb these demonic pills.'

Xu Ning didn't care about the minor details anymore. He just absorbed the 50 units of energy from each pill.

After the energy in the demonic pill was absorbed by Xu Ning, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Afterwards, Xu Ning put away all the floating pills and absorbed them one by one.

Moments later, all of the demonic pills were absorbed by Xu Ning.

'In total, there were 600 demonic pills! And after absorbing them, I obtained 30,000 units of energy!'

Xu Ning felt refreshed. This was only the first test, but he had already gained so much.

'I already have a lot of energy in my reserves. Now, I just have to pass one or two more tests, and I will have 85,000 units of energy!'

It was also now that Xu Ning realized the power of the Red Sea Demon Lord.

For the first test of the mystic realm to provide such an exorbitant reward, how terrifying was he?

Xu Ning suspected that Red Sea Demon Lord might even be a high level dao realm master.

After absorbing the 600 demonic pills, a distorted spatial door appeared in front of Xu Ning.

Xu Ning took a deep breath and walked in calmly.

After entering the distorted spatial door, Xu Ning felt weightless again.

When he regained his vision, he found himself in a sealed room.

There was only a black cushion in the sealed room.

'This is the second assessment, the mental test.'

Xu Ning knew very well that as long as he sat on the black cushion, an illusion would appear in front of his eyes. It would be as if he had taken a Heart Demon Pill. He would have to undergo a mental assessment in the illusion.

If he passed this test, his spirit would be condensed and his martial intent would be indestructible.

But if he failed, his martial arts foundation would collapse, turning him into a timid person, making it difficult for him to improve any further in the future.

'Red Sea Demon Lord is a demonic path master, so he must be very sensitive to the human heart.'

When Feng Changge went through the mental test, he almost failed.

This was because the illusion that appeared in front of Feng Changge's eyes was his experience when he was at his weakest. It was a time that Feng Changge didn't dare to look back at.

This illusion would hit the test subjects where it hurt most.

"Phew…"

Xu Ning calmed down.

Xu Ning was quite confident in his will.

After living through two lifetimes, his temperament had stabilized, so he definitely had an advantage in this test.

Xu Ning sat on the seat cushion without any more hesitation.

The moment he sat on the seat cushion, Xu Ning felt the surroundings in his vision begin to distort.

Soon, the sealed room surrounding him disappeared and was replaced by the scene of the Tao Village.

'Is this the Tao Village?'

Xu Ning's perspective was turned to the third-person perspective, allowing him to observe everything that was happening.

"Sister Lian, Brother-in-law, Tao Tao, pack up and run!"

Xu Ning saw Guo Ye rushing into Xu Ning's house.

"The enemies from State Hurricane are attacking, and Kangyun County has fallen. A large number of enemies are rushing here. If we don't escape now, we might not be able to escape!"

Guo Ye was out of breath. He looked panicked.

'This should have taken place before I returned to State Feiyun…'

Xu Ning knew the background of this scene.

He knew very well that this scene was fake, but for some reason, Xu Ning still felt anxious, as if everything was real.

"What? The enemies are here?"

Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian walked out of the house. They supported each other with haggard expressions.

Xu Ning noticed that Tao Yunchuan in the scene was still limping.

"Let's go, otherwise it will be too late!"

Guo Ye urged again.

"Okay, let us pack up."

Tao Yunchuan turned his head, wanting to enter the house, but then he turned around and asked, "Where's Tao Tao?"

"Tao Tao went outside the village to play…"

Xu Lian's expression changed. "We have to find her quickly."

The expressions of the three people were extremely life-like. Xu Ning felt like his consciousness had fallen into a daze. He couldn't help but feel everything that was going on.

"Take some of your important belongings out of the village, then bring Tao Tao along and leave!"

Tao Yunchuan said.

Afterwards, with Guo Ye's help, they brought some belongings and were about to leave the Tao Village.

"Not good, the enemies are coming, run!"

As they were walking in the village, someone suddenly shouted.

"The enemies are here, quickly dodge!"

Guo Ye was looking out for the two of them.

Clop! Clop! Clop!

The sound of galloping horses could be heard.

The three of them were about to hide in the field when they suddenly heard a girl's cry.

They looked into the distance only to see Tao Tao being grabbed by the collar by a cavalry of the Shadowblood Sect.

"Tao Tao!"

Under a strange and formless influence, the current Xu Ning had already forgotten that everything in front of him was virtual.

He was terrified.

"What are you crying for!"

Tao Tao struggled and cried in the hands of the cavalry. The cavalry seemed to be impatient, and he raised his knife to cut Tao Tao.

At this moment, Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, and Guo Ye immediately exited from the farm to rescue Tao Tao.

"Let her go!"

Guo Ye was young so he moved the fastest. He rushed in front of the cavalry and grabbed Tao Tao from his hand.

"Courting death!"

When the cavalry saw this, he slashed at Guo Ye.

Blood flowed down Guo Ye's back.

"Go!"

Guo Ye pushed Tao Tao towards Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan.

Guo Ye then fell to the ground and lost his life.

"Guo Ye!"

Xu Ning was heartbroken when he saw this scene.

"Where are you running to?!"

The cavalry caught up with the three of them and slashed at Xu Lian.

"No!"

Xu Ning struggled and roared.

His emotions began to fluctuate.

The scene in front of him suddenly stopped, and the large knife stopped in front of Xu Lian's forehead.

Xu Ning felt his mental state rapidly deteriorating, as if he was about to break down.

"Uncle."

Just when Xu Ning was about to fall into the abyss, Tao Tao's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Ning's ear.

That call was the first time Tao Tao had called him when he first came to this world.

That call had always been preciously buried in the deepest part of Xu Ning's memory.

At this dangerous moment, this "uncle" jumped out of Xu Ning's subconscious.

Xu Ning felt like he had been doused with cold water. He was instantly pulled out of his chaotic state.

"It's all an illusion!"

Xu Ning regained his consciousness.

Chapter 195: Void Realm Ninth Stage, True Domain Realm!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

'How dangerous!'

Xu Ning finally regained his consciousness.

'The feeling of losing consciousness without my knowledge just now was terrifying.'

Xu Ning felt nervous.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had a trace of rationality left in his heart, he might have fallen into a trap that he could never break free from.

Being in that chaotic state for a long time would inevitably erase his rationality.

Forget about the collapse of his martial arts foundation, he might not even be able to become a normal person anymore.

Xu Ning regained his vision and returned to the sealed room.

After that experience, Xu Ning finally understood what his weakness was.

'Family and friends are the most important thing to me.'

When he first started practicing martial arts, it was all for his family. At that time, his first wish was to change his family's living environment.

The experience in the illusion just now made Xu Ning feel homesick.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Just as the illusion in front of Xu Ning's eyes vanished, the floor in front of him suddenly opened up.

Two beast skin scrolls were placed in a hidden compartment inside the floorboard.

'The pill formula for the Demon Blood Great Pill and its refining method?'

Xu Ning frowned.

This beast skin scroll looked exactly the same as the previous formula he had obtained.

Xu Ning opened the two beast skin scrolls and read them one by one.

On these two beast skin scrolls, there was indeed a pill formula and a refinement method, but it was not for the Demon Blood Great Pill.

The pill formula and refinement method on it belonged to a type of pill called the Heartless Pill.

In a sense, this pill was not a demonic pill.

It did not condense demonic qi, and it was instead a functional pill.

Once the Heartless Pill was consumed by the target, the target would listen to the user without question.

'There is actually such a pill…'

Even though Xu Ning knew a lot about alchemy, he was still surprised.

There was no similar pill in the alchemy scroll he had previously obtained.

'Heartless Pill… Once the person consumes it, they will lose their consciousness…'

When Xu Ning controlled Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, he used the Frozen Seal Pill and some poisonous pills to intimidate them.

Although those pills would work, it was quite inflexible, and there might be accidents.

But if it was this Heartless Pill, not only could he make them completely follow his will, but he could also order them to do something inconvenient or impossible.

'So scary…'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Although this Heartless Pill has many restrictions, it is still a medicinal pill with amazing medicinal properties.'

After reading the contents of the scrolls several times, Xu Ning put them into his storage ring.

After leaving the mystic realm, Xu Ning decided to try refining this Heartless Pill.

After putting the beast skin scrolls into his storage ring, Xu Ning did not move.

According to what Feng Changge said before, the third test was also in this sealed room.

Sure enough, after a while, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sealed room.

Two memory crystals then floated in the air.

On the surface of one memory crystal, the words "Demon Breath Sutra" were engraved. While on the surface of the other memory crystal, there were the words "Inkmoon Pill Sutra" engraved.

'Feng Changge said that the aptitude test lets you randomly choose a secret technique or a pill sutra to practice. But if you don't meet the requirements within a certain period of time, you will be expelled.'

Feng Changge didn't mention the requirements and time limit.

Feng Changge indeed chose a Demon Sect secret technique back then, but it was not this Demon Breath Sutra.

He used half a month to cultivate the Demon Sect secret technique to the fifth level, but he was still expelled.

'This kind of aptitude assessment is not difficult for me.'

Xu Ning chose the Inkmoon Pill Sutra without hesitation.

For Xu Ning, he would definitely not choose a Demon Sect secret technique.

The Inkmoon Pill Sutra might be another core alchemy technique, which was different from the inheritance Xu Ning had received in the Demon Beast Scroll.

If Xu Ning could master both pill sutras, then not only could he be able to refine more types of medicinal pills, but he could also combine the two alchemy refinement techniques and develop new medicinal pills according to his needs.

Swoosh!

After Xu Ning held the memory crystal in his hand, the other memory crystal that contained Demon Breath Sutra disappeared.

Afterwards, Xu Ning poured his true qi into the memory crystal.

Immediately after, the contents of the Inkmoon Pill Sutra appeared in Xu Ning's mind.

…

Consume 100 units of energy to advance the Inkmoon Pill Sutra?

Yes / No

…

"Yes!"

Xu Ning began to use the Martial Arts Panel. With the energy he had, he directly advanced the Ink Moon Pill Sutra.

First level, second level, third level…

Xu Ning didn't care about the energy consumption at all and quickly advanced the sutra.

Xu Ning's energy reserves had reached more than 53,000 units. If he wanted to, he could advance it to the ninth level in one go!

…

Consume 2,600 units to advance the Inkmoon Pill Sutra?

Yes / No

…

Xu Ning had advanced the Inkmoon Pill Sutra six times, and this was the seventh time.

"Yes!"

Xu Ning's Inkmoon Pill Sutra reached the seventh level.

'In the Inkmoon Pill Sutra, there is indeed a brand new alchemy technique recorded! Forget about the aptitude assessment itself, just being able to obtain this is already a huge gain!'

After seven advancements, Xu Ning consumed a total of 8,100 units of energy.

And he still had more than 45,000 energy left.

Just when Xu Ning was about to advance for the eighth time, the sealed room suddenly began to shake.

A stone platform then emerged from the ground in the middle of the sealed room.

On the stone platform, there was a half-meter tall book and a large stone box.

'Are these… the rewards?'

Xu Ning looked surprised.

Feng Changge didn't experience this event.

After failing the aptitude test in the third round, he was expelled.

It was at this moment Xu Ning realized that he had passed the aptitude test.

'That's true… In just a moment, I cultivated the Inkmoon Pill Sutra from level zero to level seven. If I can't pass the assessment, then no one can pass the assessment…'

Xu Ning thought.

Xu Ning then walked to the stone platform.

He first flipped through the thick book.

'It's a medicinal pill encyclopedia!'

Xu Ning's eyes revealed a look of excitement.

He quickly flipped through it and discovered that the types of medicinal pills recorded in this medicinal pill encyclopedia were greatly different from the medicinal pill scroll he had previously obtained. There were many medicinal pills that Xu Ning had never seen before.

And the refinement method of these medicinal pills was similar to the Inkmoon Pill Sutra.

In other words, with the help of the Inkmoon Pill Sutra, Xu Ning could refine the pills inside. He no longer needed a specific refining method.

'Good stuff!'

Xu Ning put away the thick medicinal pill encyclopedia.

Although he didn't know why this medicinal pill encyclopedia wasn't saved into a memory crystal, as long as the knowledge was real, it was enough.

'And what is inside this…'

Xu Ning opened the stone box curiously.

Whoosh!

As soon as Xu Ning opened it, a ball of demonic aura emerged and spread out.

The thick demonic aura almost made Xu Ning think that there was a hidden mechanism inside.

'These are… demonic pills?'

Xu Ning saw nine pills arranged neatly in the stone box.

They were separated into three types, and there were three of each type.

Xu Ning recognized one of them. It was the Demon Blood Great Pill that he had refined previously.

'These should be top-grade demonic pills. If a void realm martial artist saw these, they would go crazy.'

Although he didn't know the effect of the other two demonic pills, since they were placed together with the Demon Blood Great Pill, they were definitely of extraordinary quality.

A single Demon Blood Great Pill could help a half-step dao realm master advance to the dao realm. If these nine medicinal pills of the same quality were used, several dao realm masters could be produced.

'These demonic pills are good for a demonic path martial artist, but they are useless for me…'

Xu Ning felt a little regretful.

It was impossible for him to consume a demonic pill.

For example, after swallowing the Demon Blood Great Pill, it would condense demon blood, and even the nature of one's physical body would change.

Those crazy demonic path martial artists were willing to do this, but Xu Ning was not willing.

'However, although I can't swallow these demonic pills directly, I can absorb the energy inside!'

Xu Ning knew very well that even without its special effects, he could still gain a lot just by relying on the energy inside.

Last time when Xu Ning refined a Demon Blood Great Pill, if it weren't to sabotage Feng Changge, he even wanted to absorb all the energy inside because a Demon Blood Great Pill contained 3000 units of energy.

'I wonder how much energy is in the Demon Blood Great Pill?'

Xu Ning discovered that the Demon Blood Great Pill in the stone box was obviously of a higher quality than the one he had refined back then.

Xu Ning felt that the energy contained in it definitely exceeded 3000 units.

He placed his palm on the surface of the steamed bun-sized Demon Blood Great Pill.

…

Discovered 7000 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

'7,000 units of energy?'

Although Xu Ning had expected this, he didn't expect that this Demon Blood Great Pill would contain more than twice the energy of the previous Demon Blood Great Pill.

This made Xu Ning's previous feelings of regret disappear.

"Yes!"

Xu Ning instantly absorbed it.

After absorbing the three Demon Blood Great Pills, Xu Ning received 21,000 units of energy.

'Absorb the energy from the other two demon pills!'

Xu Ning continued to absorb them.

Soon, Xu Ning discovered a coincidence.

Although he didn't know the effects of the other two types of demonic pills, the energy contained in them was 7,000 units each.

Nine pills with 7,000 units of energy each were absorbed, allowing Xu Ning to obtain 63,000 units of energy!

Even though Xu Ning had always been quite calm, he was a little excited in this situation.

63,000 units, in addition to the previous 45,000 units, his energy reserves had broken through the 100,000 mark.

'This mystic realm is the right place for me to go!'

Xu Ning no longer hesitated. He opened the Martial Arts Panel and tapped the "" sign next to the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll.

…

Consume 85,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

…

"Yes!"

Xu Ning was firm.

The next moment, Xu Ning broke through his shackles and advanced to the void realm ninth stage, true domain realm!

'I finally reached the peak of the void realm!'

The current Xu Ning had finally stepped into the true domain realm from the mold body realm.

And his next goal was the dao realm.

Swoosh!

Xu Ning's attribute true intent had undergone another qualitative change.

He spread his attribute domain, covering the entire sealed room.

'The previous version of my attribute true intent can only enhance the power of my attribute by latching onto it, but now I can display its power independently. Wherever my attribute domain covers, my strength will greatly increase, while my enemies will be weakened.'

Xu Ning cultivated a water and fire dual secret scroll, so he had two attributes.

The true domain realm was the realm where the difference in strength between void realm martial artists was the greatest.

In this realm, a fight was a competition of attributes.

Whoever had the more domineering attribute domain was stronger.

Not only did Xu Ning have double the strength from his dual attribute domain, but his attribute domain also covered a larger area.

For weaker true domain realm martial artists, their attribute domain would only cover an area of about ten meters, so they could only exert the power of their domain when they were close enough.

An ordinary true domain realm martial artist had an attribute domain of about 30 meters.

For powerful true domain realm martial artists, such as Mi Xingye, their attribute domain might span up to 100 meters.

Although Xu Ning was in the mystic realm and his attribute domain couldn't extend beyond the edge of the sealed room, Xu Ning determined that his attribute domain could cover at least 100 meters!

This range greatly improved Xu Ning's area-of-effect attacks.

'In the future, when facing enemies in my attribute domain, I can use the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword to rain down an endless storm of swords! No one can stand a hundred meters around me. Even a half-step dao realm master can only protect themselves in my domain; they are unable to hurt me at all. If I hold a dao weapon and use it to cover my domain, I can even kill a half-step dao realm master!'

Although there was only one realm of improvement from the true intent realm to the true domain realm, this improvement was even greater compared to reaching the common seal realm from the attribute realm.

In Xu Ning's opinion, the true domain realm was the true watershed of the void realm.

'Now that I have reached the true domain realm, I still have 23,000 units of energy left, which is enough for me to advance my remaining secret techniques and alchemy techniques to the ninth level.'

Thinking of this, Xu Ning controlled the Martial Arts Panel and raised the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, Tidal Fist, Life Pill Sutra, and the Inkmoon Pill Sutra to the ninth level.

It took 4000 units of energy to advance from the eighth level to the ninth level, and 3200 units of energy were needed to advance from the seventh level to the eighth level, so the total energy consumption of this period of strengthening was 19,200 units of energy.

After advancing everything, he still had 3,800 units of energy left.

'Unless it is a dao realm master, no one can kill me now!'

Xu Ning's strength had reached the limit of the void realm.

'Now that I have passed the third round, I wonder what kind of assessment is next.'

Xu Ning thought to himself after his strength had increased once more.

Xu Ning had no information about what was after the third test.

The information he obtained from Feng Changge was now obsolete.

'However, although I don't know what the next assessment is, the core inheritance of this mystic realm should either be a demonic technique or an alchemy technique!'

With Xu Ning's current situation, he naturally only wanted alchemy techniques.

Although he had the Inkmoon Pill Sutra, it was only a void realm alchemist's alchemy technique.

Xu Ning had yet to obtain the complete inheritance of a dao realm alchemist.

'Now that I have advanced to the true domain realm, maybe I can take a look at the dao realm advancement technique that Master passed me…'

After waiting for a while, Xu Ning still did not see the prompt to enter the next assessment, so he took out the memory crystal Mi Xingye gave him.

'What does a dao realm technique look like?'

Xu Ning was full of expectations.

After experiencing mortal realm techniques and void realm secret scrolls, he was about to unlock the secrets of the dao realm.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning injected a wisp of true qi into the memory crystal.

Immediately after, the memory crystal flashed, and all the information recorded inside rushed into Xu Ning's mind.

'So this is a dao realm technique…'

After a while, Xu Ning digested the dao realm technique in the memory crystal.

The dao realm technique recorded was much less impressive than Xu Ning had imagined.

Xu Ning thought that the dao realm technique in his hand was a complete dao realm advancement system. Just like a mortal realm internal technique and void realm secret scroll, it would contain all the realms from the first to the ninth stage.

But the truth was not what Xu Ning had thought. This dao realm technique was really just a way to break through to the dao realm.

After breaking through the shackles of the void realm and advancing to the dao realm, there was no follow-up.

'This…'

Xu Ning was a little confused.

'Is the dao realm technique that Master gave me missing something? Or is the dao realm different from the void realm and mortal realm?'

Xu Ning couldn't find an answer.

However, although he did not obtain a complete dao realm advancement system, it was enough to know how to break through to the dao realm.

'If I want to break through to the dao realm, the first thing I have to do is to transform the qi currents in my body into attribute seeds…'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'After forming an attribute seed in my body, I will be ready to advance to the dao realm. At this stage, I will be called a half-step dao realm master.'

There were four types of qi currents in Xu Ning's body, and all of them were provided by void realm secret techniques.

Not long after entering the void realm, there was a rumor that void realm secret techniques and void realm secret scrolls complemented each other.

And now that he looked at it, if the level of one's void realm secret technique was not high enough, one would not be able to break through to the dao realm.

'Once the attribute seed takes shape, the attribute seed will further evolve, allowing one to reach the dao realm.'

'According to the dao realm technique, the more attribute seeds one condenses, the stronger one's foundation will be after advancing to the dao realm. However, the maximum attribute seeds for the same attribute can only be three. I have the water and fire attribute, so I can condense at most six attribute seeds.'

At this point, Xu Ning was glad that he chose a dual attribute void realm secret scroll. In the end, it seemed that this was a wise choice.

'In order to gather six attribute seeds to advance, I have to practice more fire and more water attribute secret techniques that have different characteristics, differing from penetration, cutting, annihilation, and corrosion. Only then can I gather three attribute seeds for each attribute.'

Xu Ning felt that this was not difficult to accomplish.

After being in the void realm for so long, Xu Ning had gathered a lot of resources. In his reserves, he could easily find another water and another fire-based secret technique.

He only needed to spend some energy to cultivate them to the ninth level.

'Let's see if I can engrave the dao realm technique on the Martial Arts Panel first…'

After thinking about it, Xu Ning decided to continue figuring out the dao realm technique.

However, right at this moment, the space in the sealed room twisted again and a spatial vortex appeared.

Seeing this, Xu Ning stopped.

'Is the next assessment about to begin…'

Xu Ning put away the memory crystal.

The mystic realm assessment was obviously more urgent.

Xu Ning cleaned up, adjusted his condition, and stepped into the spatial vortex.

…

At the same time.

Inside the mystic realm, under a void staircase.

Three figures stood below.

They were the people who had entered the mystic realm before Xu Ning.

They were the burly bearded man with the giant dao axe on his back, the slender woman with charming eyes, and the green-clothed man who first discovered the mystic realm.

"What happened? After so long, only the three of us are here?"

The woman with charming eyes, Jian Li, frowned and sounded dissatisfied.

"Were they all eliminated?"

The green-clothed man, Chu Yeyang, said doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case. All of us have a token, so we only need to pass the mental test. Even with that, they couldn't even pass the test?"

"They really are useless."

Fang Lixing, the burly man with the giant axe, snorted. "But it doesn't matter. I only brought them here to make up the numbers. I just didn't expect that they are so weak despite all of us here being descendants of the Red Sea Demon Lord."

"Indeed."

Jian Li echoed, "If they can't pass the mental test, it only shows that they are weak. Such people are indeed not worthy of the ultimate inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord."

The ancestors of Fang Lixing, Jian Li, and Chu Yeyang's family were all servants accepted by the Red Sea Demon Lord in the seventeen states of the Abyss North. They were not even in-name disciples.

When the Red Sea Demon Lord traveled here, he had no servants to serve him, so he chose some mortal realm warriors and fed them demonic pills. He guided their demonic techniques, allowing them to all advance to the dao realm.

Afterwards, on his journey, Red Sea Demon Lord discovered several talented descendants and accepted them as in-name disciples. And when he returned to State Wansheng, he brought them along.

However, when he returned to State Wansheng, Red Sea Demon Lord did not bring these servants with him. Instead, he asked them to continue to stay in the seventeen states of the Abyss North. He wanted them to stay here for another hundred years to search for qualified disciples for him, after which he would then bring them all back to State Wansheng.

During his journey, Red Sea Demon Lord even left behind a mystic realm.

He exhorted those servants that if anyone could enter the mystic realm and obtain the inheritance, they would not need to wait for a hundred years and could just bring back the inheritor.

If no one received the inheritance during the time limit, they could spread the method of entering this mystic realm, allowing those who received the method to enter this mystic realm.

In the end, no one entered or received the inheritance of the mystic realm for the past hundred years.

Thus, the servants spread the location of the mystic realm through black stones which could sense the position of the mystic realm.

But because they all had their own selfish motives, whilst also not daring to disobey the orders of the Red Sea Demon Lord, they left behind information on how to obtain the black stones and even crucial tokens to their descendants.

Fang Lixing, Jian Li, Chu Yeyang, and the others were the descendants of those servants.

"Forget about them, it's a good thing for us that they can't pass the mental test."

Fang Lixing said, "We asked them to come here just to find the mystic realm faster. Now that they have been eliminated, they will no longer fight with us for the final inheritance."

As soon as Fang Lixing finished speaking, Jian Li and Chu Yeyang looked at each other. The atmosphere became a little strange.

In fact, the three of them were competitors now.

"You don't have to think too much."

Fang Lixing also noticed this awkwardness, but he smiled and said, "According to the records of our predecessors, the Red Sea Demon Lord left behind three important inheritances in this mystic realm. They are a dao realm alchemy technique, a top-notch demonic technique, and a drop of demon essence."

"Among them, the dao realm alchemy technique is the essence of the Red Sea Demon Lord's experience in the path of alchemy. As for that top-level demonic technique, after cultivating it to the highest realm, one can kill enemies above their level in the dao realm. And lastly, after one swallows that drop of demon essence, one can change their demonic cultivation aptitude to become a top genius of the demonic path."

"Whichever one of these three important inheritances you obtain will be a huge gain. Moreover, the Red Sea Demon Lord also created a restriction that a person can only obtain one inheritance, so there is no need for us to fight each other."

The tense atmosphere eased a lot with Fang Lixing's words.

However, although all three of them could get their share of the pie, they all had a goal. After all, everyone each had an inheritance they wanted in mind.

"Brother Fang is right, no matter what, no one should fight."

Jian Li said, "Whether the three of us can pass the ultimate assessment in the end, or whoever completes the ultimate assessment first and selects their inheritance, no one should hurt the harmony between us. Our ancestors were colleagues after all, so we have to maintain our friendship. After we leave this mystic realm and advance to the dao realm, we can cross the Endless Sea Abyss together and go to State Wansheng."

"Absolutely."

Chu Yeyang nodded.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries. And after encouraging each other, they looked at the void stairs.

The void stairs meandered upwards. After the thirtieth step, it was covered by gray fog, making it difficult to see past it.

"This void stairs is the final test. Only by persevering to the peak can you pass the assessment."

Because of the clues left behind by their ancestors, they knew the secrets of the mystic realm well.

"It was said that a large amount of pressure will bore down on us on this void stairs. The pressure will wear down one's true qi, attribute power, and even temperament. To reach the peak, one must have extremely strong willpower."

Fang Lixing said, "No matter what, I hope to see you two at the top of the void stairs."

"Okay."

When Jian Li heard this, she cupped her fists towards the two. "I hope you two will do well."

"See you at the peak."

Chu Yeyang said.

Afterwards, Fang Lixing flicked his sleeves and took the lead to step onto the void stairs.

After Fang Lixing stepped onto the first void step, he instantly disappeared.

Seeing this, Jian Li and Chu Yeyang were not surprised at all.

This was a feature of the void stairs.

The people below the stairs couldn't see the people on the stairs.

The people on the steps below couldn't see the people on the steps above.

But on the other hand, the people higher up on the stairs could see the people below them.

On the void stairs, the people higher up obviously had the advantage.

They could set up an ambush whenever the people below them were about to catch up with them. The moment the people below stepped on the same step as them, they could ambush them and make them fall down.

After Fang Lixing went up, Jian Li and Chu Yeyang followed.

Not long after Fang Lixing, Jian Li, and Chu Yeyang went up, the space below the stairs was distorted again.

Soon after, Xu Ning appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

'This is…'

After Xu Ning looked around, he looked at the void stairs.

He looked up the void stairs.

'Is this the next assessment?'

Xu Ning didn't know that this void stairs was the last assessment of the mystic realm.

'I think they want the candidates to walk up the stairs…'

Xu Ning guessed. 'There must be a test on this staircase.'

Xu Ning calmed down, got ready, and walked towards the stairs.

'Huh?'

After Xu Ning stepped onto the first step, he felt an inexplicable pressure wrapping around him.

Although this pressure was not substantial, and it did not affect his movements much, Xu Ning still felt uncomfortable.

He used his attribute power and true qi to resist, and he discovered that in the process of resisting the external pressure, his attribute power and true qi were being worn down.

'Is this void step a test of endurance?'

Xu Ning was not sure, so he stepped onto the second step.

He could clearly feel that the pressure on the second step was a little higher than on the first step, but it did not increase much. It was still within Xu Ning's tolerance range.

Thus, Xu Ning continued to walk forward.

Third step, fourth step, fifth step…

He walked up step by step.

As Xu Ning continued to walk upwards, he didn't know that people were watching his every move.

'What's going on? Why are there other people in this mystic realm?'

When Xu Ning appeared at the bottom of the void stairs, the three of them noticed Xu Ning.

'This person is not from our previous group. It seems that he is someone who entered the mystic realm at the same time as us by coincidence.'

Fang Lixing had already reached the thirty-first step, walking into the gray fog.

He was the strongest, and he had experienced hardships when he was young. He was also very determined, so he climbed the furthest.

'I wonder if this person is also a descendant of Red Sea Demon Lord's followers. If he is not, then this person must be extraordinary to be able to pass three tests in a row.'

Fang Lixing looked back at Xu Ning as he recovered.

'Forget about him, I should continue climbing the stairs.'

Fang Lixing looked up.

After entering the gray fog, he could no longer see the stairs above, so he did not know how many more steps there were left.

'I hope there are fewer steps up ahead…'

The current Fang Lixing could already feel the pressure.

Especially after passing the thirtieth step and entering the gray fog, the pressure got higher and higher.

Jian Li and Chu Yeyang also noticed Xu Ning's existence.

Jian Li had reached the twenty-fifth step. After discovering Xu Ning's existence, she was a little surprised, but she didn't care too much. She just continued to climb the stairs.

This was all because Chu Yeyang was below her.

Thus, Xu Ning was far from being able to disturb her state yet.

But Chu Yeyang was different. He was the weakest and had the weakest temperament of the three of them. He had only reached the twentieth step and was currently trying his best to reach the twenty-first step.

After discovering Xu Ning, he became more impatient.

There were three inheritances on the top of this staircase. If the newly appeared Xu Ning surpassed him, then he would be left with nothing.

'If this person catches up to me, I will ambush him and seriously injure him. Then, I will kick him to the bottom of the stairs. After climbing the stairs for a while, he must have consumed a lot of energy. If he has to do it again, he will definitely run out of energy.'

Chu Yeyang made a plan.

Xu Ning didn't know that he was being plotted against. He just continued to concentrate on advancing forward.

He had already passed the tenth step and arrived at the eleventh step.

'After passing the tenth step and arriving at the eleventh step, the pressure suddenly spiked.'

Xu Ning frowned.

The pressure from the first to the tenth step slowly increased.

But from the tenth step to the eleventh step, the pressure doubled instantly.

This pressure increased Xu Ning's discomfort, but it still did not affect Xu Ning's progress.

'There's a sound…'

Xu Ning continued to walk until he reached the twelfth step.

Xu Ning noticed a strange sound hovering next to his ears.

That strange noise had a peculiar tone, making people annoyed.

'This void staircase is actually disturbing my mental state…'

Xu Ning also noticed this.

However, this tiny distraction was nothing to Xu Ning.

After passing the mental test just now, Xu Ning's state of mind had risen to another level.

The previous mental test was also an excellent training experience for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning continued to walk forward. He was getting closer and closer to Chu Yeyang.

'How is this happening? Why doesn't he ever rest? How is he walking all the way up?'

After Chu Yeyang reached the twenty-second step, he discovered that Xu Ning had already reached the nineteenth step and was about to catch up with him.

During this process, Chu Yeyang discovered that the person behind him did not rest at all, as if this pressure did not affect him much.

'I'm not going to climb anymore!'

Chu Yeyang was already impatient, and Xu Ning was getting closer and closer. He decided to stop and ambush Xu Ning.

Chu Yeyang was a true intent realm martial artist, and he also had a dao weapon. He felt that he could definitely succeed in a sneak attack.

Chu Yeyang stood still, took out a short knife, and looked down at Xu Ning as he approached.

'Chu Yeyang doesn't seem to want to continue climbing. It seems that he wants to get rid of the person behind him first…'

Fang Lixing and Jian Lixing also noticed this.

Because they were under a lot of pressure and had consumed a lot of energy, they stopped to rest and watch Chu Yeyang attack Xu Ning.

'However, that person is quite fast…'

Fang Lixing was fine. After all, he had climbed a lot of steps, but Jian Li was far behind him.

Once Xu Ning surpassed Chu Yeyang, he would get closer and closer to her.

Therefore, Jian Li hoped that Chu Yeyang could hurt Xu Ning.

'I'm finally on the twenty-first step.'

Xu Ning felt the pressure spiking again.

This time, not only was his mental state tested, but his body could also feel the pressure of gravity.

'It's getting harder and harder… But fortunately, I can still bear it.'

Xu Ning adjusted himself and walked towards the twenty-second step.

Chu Yeyang had been waiting there for a long time.

Report chapter

Chapter 198: Another All Attribute Dao Weapon

'Twenty-second step…'

Xu Ning adjusted his breathing and stepped forward.

'Here he comes!'

Chu Yeyang watched Xu Ning walk up the stairs.

Swoosh!

Before Xu Ning could stabilize himself, Chu Yeyang activated his dao knife and slashed at Xu Ning.

'What's going on?'

Xu Ning suddenly felt a knife flash in front of his eyes.

'There are people here?!'

Xu Ning couldn't react at all. He was under the impression that he was the only one in the mystic realm.

But now, there was a young man in green with a fierce look in his eyes in front of him. He waved a short knife and slashed at his throat.

Almost instinctively, a fiery red armor appeared in front of Xu Ning, blocking the knife.

But at the same time, Chu Yeyang was also prepared for this. After seeing that his sneak attack was not successful, he kicked.

In an instant, Xu Ning made a judgment.

He did not immediately fight back, instead he took the initiative to retreat two steps, returning to the twentieth step.

'Huh?'

Chu Yeyang didn't expect Xu Ning to take the initiative to retreat.

It turned out that according to Chu Yeyang's plan, Xu Ning would either be slashed to death or be kicked to the bottom of the void stairs. But from the looks of it, the effect was far from what he had initially expected.

'Should I take the initiative to walk down the stairs and chase after him?'

This thought appeared in Chu Yeyang's mind as he hesitated.

However, as he was thinking, Chu Yeyang quickly realized what was going on.

The person just now was retreating in order to accumulate more momentum and charge towards him again.

'Is he trying to kill me?'

This thought subconsciously appeared in Chu Yeyang's mind.

However, he didn't have time to think anymore, as Xu Ning instantly crossed the twenty-first step and returned to the twenty-second step.

The two looked at each other again.

Chu Yeyang quickly activated his short blade to block it.

'The surrounding pressure makes it impossible for me to use my full strength!'

Chu Yeyang felt that his attacks were being restricted. His true qi, true intent, and attribute power were all constantly suppressed.

'Attribute domain!'

After Xu Ning returned to the twenty-second step, he activated the bracer dao weapon and wrapped his domain around Chu Yeyang.

Although his attribute domain was weakened on the void stairs, it was enough to deal with this person.

'Not good!'

The moment he was covered by Xu Ning's dual attribute domain, Chu Yeyang immediately realized the danger he was in.

'A true domain realm martial artist with a dao weapon!'

Chu Yeyang's expression changed drastically and his attitude instantly changed. "Sir, I…"

Xu Ning didn't give him a chance to explain. Four sword seals instantly descended from his dual attribute domain.

With the help of his attribute domain, the sword seals had almost become solid.

Two of the sword seals pierced through Chu Yeyang's left and right shoulders, while the other two swords pierced through Chu Yeyang's legs and knees, causing him to lose his mobility.

Afterwards, Xu Ning grabbed Chu Yeyang's dao weapon and injected true qi and attribute power into it, erasing Chu Yeyang's manipulation mark.

For Xu Ning, it was easy to instantly erase the manipulation mark left behind by a true intent realm martial artist.

'It's a dao weapon with all attributes?'

After Xu Ning erased the manipulation mark, he realized that this short knife was a dao weapon with all attributes.

'An eighth stage true intent realm possessing a dao weapon with all attributes. It seems that this person's identity is not simple…'

Not everyone was Xu Ning. Those who could hold a dao weapon with all attributes before reaching the void realm ninth stage were highly likely to be people who were being supported by a huge amount of resources.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

Xu Ning placed a temporary manipulation mark in the short knife dao weapon and aimed the knife at Chu Yeyang.

The roles of the two sides completely changed. Chu Yeyang, the attacker, became Xu Ning's prisoner.

'Oh no, Chu Yeyang has been captured!'

Fang Lixing and Jian Li's expressions changed.

After seeing Xu Ning easily capture Chu Yeyang, Jian Li felt a huge sense of danger.

'To be able to fight back against Chu Yeyang, this person must be a half-step dao realm master, or a void realm ninth stage martial artist with a dao weapon. In fact, this person might even be a half-step dao realm master with a dao weapon…'

Jian Li knew very well that she was just a true intent realm martial artist with a dao weapon. It was only because her comprehension of secret techniques was deeper that she was ahead of Chu Yeyang. Faced with this newly appeared person, she would definitely be easily dealt with.

Seeing this, Jian Li gritted her teeth, looked up at the gray fog in front of her, and continued to walk upwards.

As for Fang Lixing, he also stopped resting and continued to climb.

"Tell me, who are you, and why are you here?"

After seeing that Chu Yeyang did not respond immediately, Xu Ning stabbed the short knife in his hand into his throat.

As long as he advanced another inch, or activated his true qi or attribute power slightly, Chu Yeyang would die on the spot.

"Stop! Stop!"

Chu Yeyang wanted to take a roundabout route, but seeing how decisive and ruthless the person in front of him was, he knew that he was not the merciful type.

Playing mind games in front of this kind of person was simply suicide.

"I am Chu Yeyang, a member of the Chu family in State Luye."

Chu Yeyang quickly explained, not daring to hide anything.

He knew that if he lied to this person, he would immediately die.

"A family from State Luye?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Although he didn't know much about the Chu family of State Luye, Xu Ning could infer from the dao weapon in Chu Yeyang's hand that the Chu family of State Luye was definitely not an ordinary small family or a subsidiary family.

The scale of their family might be comparable to a sect.

Compared to a sect, the cohesion of an independent family was more terrifying. The only disadvantage was that the selection channels for talents in the family were rather limited, so they could not guarantee a stable output of elites like a sect.

"I ambushed you just now was because I was stupid."

Chu Yeyang quickly said, "I was afraid that you would surpass me and prevent me from obtaining the final inheritance, so I came up with this plan and ended up offending you. Please give me a way out. After leaving this mystic realm, I will definitely ask my family to repay you."

In Chu Yeyang's current state, he definitely couldn't continue to climb and fight for the final inheritance of this mystic realm.

For him, keeping his life was currently a luxury.

"The final inheritance is on top of this void stairs?"

Xu Ning caught the key point in Chu Yeyang's words.

"That's right, as long as you climb to the top of the void stairs, you can choose one of the three inheritance items."

Chu Yeyang said everything he knew.

"Three inheritance items? What are they?"

Xu Ning asked.

"A dao realm alchemy technique, a powerful demonic technique, and a drop of demon essence."

Chu Yeyang said.

"How do you know so much?"

Xu Ning looked at Chu Yeyang curiously. "Tell me all the secrets about this mystic realm, and I can spare your life for the time being."

'For the time being…'

Xu Ning's words made Chu Yeyang feel insecure, but he still said, "This mystic realm was left behind by the Red Sea Demon Lord. My ancestor was once the follower of the Red Sea Demon Lord."

Afterwards, Chu Yeyang explained to Xu Ning the reason for the establishment of this mystic realm, the experience of the Red Sea Demon Lord in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, and how they entered this mystic realm.

'Sure enough, this Red Sea Demon Lord is not an ordinary dao realm master. Even in State Wansheng, he is a big shot…'

When Xu Ning heard this, he began to understand.

"I'll spare your life for now."

Xu Ning felt that Chu Yeyang and the family behind him must also know a lot of the secrets of the seventeen states and even of State Wansheng, so it was still useful to not kill him.

However, Xu Ning would not let him off easily.

Before Chu Yeyang could thank Xu Ning, Xu Ning grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into Chu Yeyang's mouth.

In that pile were various poisonous pills and three Frozen Seal Pills.

"If you don't want to die, wait for me at the bottom of the void stairs."

Before Chu Yeyang could react, Xu Ning lifted him up and threw him down the stairs.

Before he could sit up, he felt his whole body go cold before going stiff.

After dealing with Chu Yeyang, Xu Ning glanced up.

Xu Ning learned from Chu Yeyang that there were two people above him.

If he wanted to ensure that he could obtain the dao realm alchemy technique inheritance, he had to catch up to the two of them.

Otherwise, if the dao realm alchemy technique was selected, he would have nothing decent to gain.

'Chu Yeyang was thrown down the void stairs. I don't know if he is dead or alive…'

Jian Li had already reached the thirty-second step. She felt that she couldn't climb further up anymore.

Seeing Xu Ning getting closer and closer, Jian Li felt a little depressed.

Not only was she worried about whether she could obtain the inheritance, but she was also worried about her own safety.

'Let's take a gamble…'

After thinking about it, Jian Li made up her mind.

She was not going to fight Xu Ning to the death, but was gambling on the fact that Xu Ning was not a bloodthirsty person.

She hoped that after she admitted defeat, Xu Ning would let her go and let her continue to climb.

Soon, Jian Li saw Xu Ning.

"Sir!"

As soon as Xu Ning stepped forward, Jian Li spread out her hands, in an attempt to show that she was harmless.

'Is this the Jian Li that Chu Yeyang mentioned?'

When Xu Ning saw Jian Li's weak posture, he guessed that Jian Li must have seen his strength and was unwilling to fight him.

"Sir, there are only three people left on the void stairs. So no matter who reaches the top, they will receive a piece of the inheritance. There is no need for us to fight."

Jian Li quickly said, looking at Xu Ning nervously.

Xu Ning looked at Jian Li.

Since Jian Li was being honest, Xu Ning had no reason to kill her.

He ignored Jian Li and continued forward.

After seeing Xu Ning walk up and disappear, Jian Li was relieved.

'He doesn't seem to be a demonic path martial artist…'

Jian Li's forehead was full of sweat. 'I hope he and Fang Lixing don't choose the demon essence…'

For Jian Li, the demon essence was the inheritance she wanted the most.

'Already behind me?'

Fang Lixing looked back and saw that Xu Ning was now the closest to him.

Chapter 199: Red Sea Demon Lord's Dao Realm Alchemy Inheritance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Fang Lixing was originally afraid of Xu Ning.

Because after Chu Yeyang was thrown down, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

However, after seeing Xu Ning walk past Jian Li without hurting her, Fang Lixing felt relieved.

In his opinion, Xu Ning should not be a violent person. The reason why he attacked Chu Yeyang was because Chu Yeyang was the one who schemed against him first.

'In any case, I should climb to the top of the stairs as soon as possible…'

Fang Lixing had currently reached the fortieth step.

After passing through the dense gray fog, Fang Lixing could already see the end of the stairs.

'There are a total of forty-five steps, there are five more steps!'

Fang Lixing gritted his teeth, strengthened his will, and continued to climb up.

Time slowly passed by.

Fang Lixing had reached the forty-fourth step, while Xu Ning had reached the forty-third step.

'Two more steps…'

Xu Ning was under tremendous pressure.

Not only was his true qi and attribute power suppressed to the point that they couldn't leave his body, but even his attribute domain couldn't spread to half a meter around him.

Xu Ning's bones were even cracking under the pressure.

'I have already reached the forty-third step, but I still haven't seen that person named Fang Lixing. Could he have reached the top?'

Xu Ning was a little worried.

He took out several pure white pills from his storage ring and swallowed them.

After swallowing it, Xu Ning's true qi, attribute power, and stamina were all restored.

Xu Ning raised his foot and reached the forty-fourth step.

'Huh?'

As soon as he entered the forty-fourth step, Xu Ning saw the pale Fang Lixing.

The pressure of the forty-fourth step was almost unbearable for Fang Lixing, not to mention the forty-fifth step.

The two looked at each other.

Fang Lixing smiled kindly.

In this current situation, he didn't want to have any conflict with Xu Ning.

Xu Ning nodded slightly. He treated Fang Lixing the same way he treated Jian Li.

'After reaching the fortieth step, the increase in pressure is equivalent to the previous ten steps.'

Even Xu Ning felt an insurmountable pressure when he tried to step into the forty-fifth step, as if he would explode if he took another step.

'The pressure is too great. I can't separate my true qi and attribute power from my body, and my attribute domain can't expand anymore, let alone activate my dao weapon…'

Xu Ning thought to himself as he looked at Fang Lixing who was swallowing a pill to recover his strength.

Although this pill was not enough for Fang Lixing to advance further, he could only ensure that he would not fall.

Xu Ning took a deep breath and stopped looking at him.

'Let's go!'

After a short period of adjustment, Xu Ning raised his foot and stepped towards the forty-fifth step.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Xu Ning could clearly feel that his bones were cracking.

'I can hold on!'

Xu Ning was firm and unmoved.

Finally, Xu Ning climbed up the forty-fifth step.

Poof!

The instant all the pressure dispersed around Xu Ning, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, his internal organs and bones were damaged.

Xu Ning activated the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, swallowed a pill, and healed his injuries while looking at his surroundings.

After reaching the forty-fifth step, there was a small platform that was not very wide.

On the platform, there was a stone stage and on the stone stage, there was a half meter tall stone statue. The stone statue was carved into a bird with wings that looked like a large parrot.

'Where is the inheritance?'

Xu Ning looked confused. He didn't find the three inheritances that Chu Yeyang mentioned.

As Xu Ning was puzzled, the stone statue suddenly trembled.

In the blink of an eye, the stone statue turned into a living creature, transforming into a pitch-black bird.

'This…'

Even though Xu Ning was experienced, he was shocked when he saw this scene.

'This is not an illusion?'

Xu Ning had never seen anything like this. He even felt like he had fallen into an invisible illusion.

"This is not an illusion."

Suddenly, the black bird spoke in human language, as though it had seen through Xu Ning's thoughts.

"You have completed the Demon Lord's assessment. Of the three inheritances, which one do you want?"

The black bird flapped its wings and flew above Xu Ning's head.

Xu Ning stared at the black bird and thought, 'This is the Demon Lord's move?'

Although he had never seen a true dao realm master, this move deepened Xu Ning's desire for a dao realm.

"Tell me, don't dawdle!"

Seeing that Xu Ning had not answered yet, the black bird urged Xu Ning.

"Alchemy technique, I want the alchemy technique inheritance."

Xu Ning replied to the black bird.

"Are you sure?"

The black bird landed on the stone platform again. It tilted its head and looked at Xu Ning with a human-like expression.

"I'm sure."

Xu Ning nodded.

"Swallowing the demon essence will make you a genius in the demonic path. After practicing the demonic path, even after breaking through to the dao realm, you can still improve at a high speed. As for practicing a demonic technique, it will allow you to advance quickly, and when you reach the dao realm, you can also kill enemies above your realm. Are you sure you want to give up on these inheritances?"

The black bird seemed to be afraid that Xu Ning would regret it. Not only did it ask again, but it also explained the uniqueness of these inheritance items.

"That's right, I want to choose the dao realm alchemy technique."

Xu Ning's answer was still the same as before.

Xu Ning had learned the effects of the demonic technique and demon essence from Chu Yeyang.

But all these were not necessary for him.

"Okay, you chose the alchemy technique, you can't change it anymore!"

After seeing Xu Ning make his decision, the black bird's mouth widened and its abdomen shrank.

Soon, a black crystal ball came out of the black bird's mouth and floated in front of Xu Ning.

"Inject your true qi, and the alchemy technique will naturally be passed on to you."

The black bird said, "Also, this black ball is also a keepsake. After obtaining the alchemy technique inheritance, don't throw it away. When you advance to the dao realm in the future and cross the Endless Sea Abyss to reach State Wansheng, you can take it to the Red Sea Demon Sect. With it, you can become a disciple of the Red Sea Demon Sect."

"Red Sea Demon Sect…"

Xu Ning muttered softly.

Xu Ning looked at the black crystal ball in his hand.

Although it came out of the black bird's mouth, there was no strange smell on it.

The moment he touched the black ball, Xu Ning felt that he could use it to leave this mystic realm.

'Let's see what's so special about this alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon Lord.'

Xu Ning was anxious, so he poured his true qi into it.

Whoosh!

The moment Xu Ning poured his true qi into the black ball, he felt a wave of information washing over his mind. Xu Ning felt a splitting headache.

The last time he experienced this feeling was when he first transmigrated and inherited his predecessor's memories.

'What a huge amount of information!'

Xu Ning, who could grit his teeth and persevere on the stairs just now, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

He hugged his head and tried his best to stay awake. 'This amount of information is too much for ordinary memory crystals…'

The information in the black ball was still being transmitted over.

Xu Ning collapsed to the ground, his mouth twitching.

"Haha, haha, haha!"

The black bird sneered when it saw Xu Ning's pathetic state.

It seemed to be mocking Xu Ning for overestimating himself.

After a long time, only then did Xu Ning finish absorbing the alchemy technique inheritance in the black ball.

He breathed heavily, but he was obviously much more relaxed.

'They are both inheritances of dao realm master alchemists, so why is there such a huge difference?'

Xu Ning had obtained the inheritance of a dao realm master alchemist with Xu Hujun's help in the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm.

There were restrictions in the dao realm alchemy technique. At that time, Xu Ning couldn't break it at all. It was only after he advanced to the common seal realm that Xu Ning broke the restrictions.

Although he had not advanced to the dao realm and was unable to learn the dao realm alchemy technique, Xu Ning had a rough understanding of the dao realm alchemy technique after reading through it.

However, after receiving the dao realm alchemy technique inheritance from Red Sea Demon Lord, Xu Ning realized that the dao realm alchemy technique he had previously obtained was superficial.

In terms of knowledge, framework, and alchemy, the previous alchemy technique was far inferior to the dao realm alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon Lord. The difference between the two was like a large realm missing in between.

'So in State Wansheng, alchemy is divided into two factions: orthodox alchemy technique, and miraculous alchemy technique.'

Xu Ning had always felt that the cores of the two alchemy techniques were different, but now he understood the reason why that was so.

The widely circulated alchemy techniques in the seventeen states of the Abyss North were all orthodox alchemy techniques. They emphasized peace and stability, refining pills through balanced medicinal materials.

But the alchemy techniques of the miraculous type were different. They focused on the unorthodox path.

Whether it was the medicinal effect of the pill or the process of refining the pill, they were all extremely extreme.

Even in State Wansheng, only a few alchemists were practicing miraculous alchemy techniques.

'There are no righteous or demonic paths in alchemy. I was worried that if I learned the inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord, I would be assigned to the demonic faction. It seems that I was worrying too much.'

Even if he advanced to the dao realm in the future and practiced the dao realm alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon Lord, Xu Ning would only be classified as a miraculous alchemist, not a demonic alchemist.

'What a good harvest!'

Xu Ning was very satisfied with the inheritance in the mystic realm.

Not only had he advanced to the true domain realm, but he had also obtained the inheritance of an alchemist of this level. He was satisfied.

'Next, after leaving the mystic realm, I will begin to learn the dao realm technique and advance to the dao realm…'

Xu Ning swallowed a few more pills and combined them with the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, healing 80% of his injuries.

Just when Xu Ning was about to walk down the stairs to check on Chu Yeyang, he saw Fang Lixing walking towards the forty-fifth step.

"I'm coming up!"

Fang Lixing's nose and mouth were bleeding, his eyes bloodshot. As soon as he stepped forward, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

'He took a pill that overdrew his potential!'

Xu Ning noticed it immediately.

"Another one who passed the assessment, how nice!"

The black bird flapped its wings happily. It ignored Xu Ning and flew to the top of Fang Lixing's head.

"Huurr, pui!"

Chapter 200: Leaving the Mystic Realm and Returning to the Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The black bird spat on Fang Lixing's face.

Soon after, Fang Lixing shook off his unconscious state and opened his eyes.

Xu Ning found this scene bizarre. The black bird's saliva seemed to be comparable to some top-grade healing pills.

"You have passed the Red Sea Demon Lord's assessment, and the remaining inheritances are the demonic technique and the demon essence. Which one do you choose?"

After seeing Fang Lixing wake up, the black bird asked Fang Lixing.

'The demon essence was not selected…'

Fang Lixing, who had just regained consciousness, was overjoyed.

He looked at Xu Ning. This person seemed to be uninterested in the demonic path.

"I choose the demon essence!"

Fang Lixing stood up with difficulty.

The black bird's stomach contracted again and its mouth widened.

This time, it spat out a black bottle.

"The demon essence is inside. Once your injuries are completely healed, you can take it."

The black bird said, "Keep this black bottle properly. If you have the opportunity to come to State Wansheng in the future, you can join the Red Sea Demon Sect with this token."

'I can even join the Red Sea Demon Sect!'

Fang Lixing's ancestor was a follower of Red Sea Demon Lord, so his reverence for Red Sea Demon Lord was deeply rooted in his mind.

"Okay, if fate allows it, we will meet again in State Wansheng!"

The black bird first glanced at the void stairs, then it circled around before returning to the stone stage and turning back into a stone statue.

'Meet again in State Wansheng?'

Xu Ning felt that the black bird's words were interesting.

It had obviously turned into a stone statue here, so why did he say that they would meet again in State Wansheng?

However, Xu Ning did not pursue the matter.

He glanced at Fang Lixing.

Fang Lixing also noticed Xu Ning's gaze, so he looked at Xu Ning nervously.

He had the demon essence in his hand, and with his current condition, he was definitely not Xu Ning's opponent.

If Xu Ning wanted to snatch the demon essence from him, he wouldn't be able to resist at all.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in your demon essence."

Xu Ning explained.

Chu Yeyang had told Xu Ning that a demon essence was a kind of demonic power that could only be condensed by a high level dao realm master.

Unless Xu Ning switched to the demonic path in the future, this demon essence was useless to him.

'I was too cautious.'

Fang Lixing nodded slightly.

Although Fang Lixing didn't know Xu Ning's identity, he had a good impression of Xu Ning.

"Sir, I have a question. Can you solve my doubt?"

Xu Ning thought about it and asked Fang Lixing.

As he asked, Xu Ning took out a healing pill and threw it to Fang Lixing.

Fang Lixing took it, hesitated for a moment, and chose to swallow it. Although the black bird's saliva woke him up, his injuries had not healed yet.

If this person wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.

"Go ahead and ask."

After swallowing the pill, Fang Lixing had basically gotten rid of any ill-feeling he had for Xu Ning.

He was afraid of Xu Ning previously because he was afraid that Xu Ning would be angry at him because of Chu Yeyang.

Now it seemed that Xu Ning was not an unreasonable person.

"You seem to be a demonic path martial artist?"

Xu Ning asked, "But I don't seem to feel the brutality and murderous intent of a demonic path martial artist from you."

Xu Ning had come into contact with too many people from the demonic path. Whether they were mortal realm warriors or void realm martial artists, they all had a strong negative aura.

Even Feng Changge, a half-step dao realm master, couldn't hide his negative aura.

But Xu Ning could not sense any negative aura from Fang Lixing, Jian Li, or even Chu Yeyang.

This was why Xu Ning was quite polite to Fang Lixing.

When he was asked this, Fang Lixing smiled and straightened his back.

"My ancestor was once a follower of the Red Sea Demon Lord, so what we inherited was the pure demonic path."

Fang Lixing said.

"Pure demonic path?"

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes, a little puzzled. "Is there an impure demonic path?"

Fang Lixing smiled. "In the seventeen states of the Abyss North, most demonic martial artists and demonic masters walk the wrong path."

"All martial arts in the world originated from State Wansheng."

Fang Lixing said, "In the beginning, the essence of martial arts is defined as the development of one's own potential. Anyone who is suitable to practice martial arts can display their talents on this path."

"But at the same time, there are also some people who yearn for top-level martial arts, but they are limited to their own aptitude, so they take the unconventional path. They abandon the original martial arts system and open up a new path. This is the elementary form of the demonic path system."

"Traditional martial arts use one's martial arts potential, but the demonic path uses special methods to increase the upper limit of those with limited potential."

Xu Ning said, "The special methods you are talking about are demonic techniques, secret scrolls, and the like?"

"That's right."

Fang Lixing said, "Through them, demonic path martial artists in the initial stages can make up for their lack of aptitude, surpassing traditional martial artists."

"Of course, because of the radical nature of the demonic path, it carries a high risk. At the beginning of the development of the demonic path, the system was not complete, and many people could not withstand the backlash of the demonic path cultivation technique, causing them to be seriously injured, lose their minds, and even die. This negative effect was continuously refined after thousands of years of development before it turned into a stable martial arts path."

"What we practice is this kind of demonic path. Although it is still risky, it can increase our upper limit and speed up our cultivation. Moreover, because our martial arts system is relatively complete, the probability of suffering a backlash is relatively low."

"However…"

Fang Lixing changed the topic. "A complete demonic path system has been refined and perfected over many years, so it is basically regarded as a treasure by all parties. Thus, it is usually not imparted to outsiders."

"And in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, most of the demonic martial artists and masters we see are essentially harmful to humans. Their demonic techniques are not used to develop their own upper limit, but to slaughter and harm others for their own benefits."

"These people are all relying on external forces. The foundation of their martial arts is very unstable, and it is difficult for them to advance even an inch."

Fang Lixing's words reminded Xu Ning of Feng Changge's refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill.

The blood required to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill was the blood of a high level void realm demon beast, but Feng Changge took matters into his own hands and added human blood.

He was a typical demonic path martial artist who used an orthodox demonic technique to cultivate unorthodoxly.

"I see…"

Xu Ning said with many thoughts in his mind, "Thank you for the explanation."

After hearing what Fang Lixing said, Xu Ning suddenly felt that if he didn't have the Martial Arts Panel, it would be more appropriate for him to practice the orthodox demonic path with his actual aptitude.

But with the Martial Arts Panel, this was meaningless.

Even with the orthodox demonic path, the advancement speed was not comparable to his Martial Arts Panel.

Moreover, even if it was an orthodox demonic path, there was still the risk of suffering a backlash. If it failed, the outcome would be relatively tragic, but the probability of such a backlash was relatively low.

After taking everything into account, there was no need for him to take the risk to switch to a demonic technique.

"Sir…"

Fang Lixing pursed his lips and asked Xu Ning, "May I ask who you are?"

Fang Lixing noticed that not only was Xu Ning young, but he was also in the true domain realm by cultivating in the traditional martial arts system.

Although there might have been some misunderstandings in the past, now that the misunderstandings were gone, they could totally be friends.

Xu Ning thought about it before finally said, "Xu Ning from State Jifeng's Yuelan Sect."

"State Jifeng's Yuelan Sect…"

Fang Lixing nodded. "State Luye's Fang Lixing."

Xu Ning had learned about Fang Lixing's background from Chu Yeyang.

Fang Lixing, Jian Li, and Chu Yeyang were all from State Luye, but their families were different.

Although they were from the same state, if it wasn't for the search for this mystic realm, they would rarely contact each other.

After a simple conversation, the two walked down the void stairs.

This time, they did not feel any pressure.

'Jian Li couldn't persist…'

After walking down the void stairs, the two found Jian Li sitting cross-legged on the ground, quietly resting.

"Congratulations, both of you."

Jian Li opened her eyes with a complicated expression.

She observed both their states which showed that they had obviously achieved their goals.

"Jian Li, you don't have to be discouraged. In this mystic realm, everyone can enter at most three times. Maybe the next time you come, you can obtain the demonic technique."

Fang Lixing comforted.

"Yea…"

Although she was depressed, Jian Li quickly adjusted her mood.

"Brother Xu, this Chu Yeyang…"

Fang Lixing looked at Xu Ning.

After taking the Frozen Seal Pill and various poisonous pills, Chu Yeyang was completely under Xu Ning's control.

"Are you close?"

Xu Ning asked.

"No, no, no…"

The two quickly cleared their relationship. "Although we are from State Luye, we are not close."

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded. "If that's the case, I will take this person away."

Xu Ning was ready to take Chu Yeyang back to State Jifeng.

He was going to refine the Heartless Pill and use Chu Yeyang as a test subject.

If he succeeded, he could turn him into his tool.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, we won't say much about Chu Yeyang."

Fang Lixing also knew that Chu Yeyang had taken the initiative to kill Xu Ning just now, so it was impossible to mend the relationship.

"We will just say that Chu Yeyang has died in the mystic realm."

Jian Li said.

"Thank you very much then."

This would save Xu Ning a lot of trouble, although with Xu Ning's strength, he was no longer afraid of revenge.

Afterwards, the three of them used their own methods to leave the Red Sea Demon Lord's mystic realm.

Xu Ning had gained a lot from this trip. He had obtained the complete inheritance of a miraculous master alchemist in the dao realm. It could be said that even after advancing to a high level dao realm master, Xu Ning could still provide energy for his own use steadily.

After leaving Yunfeng Lake, Xu Ning summoned Little Gray and returned to the Yuelan Sect with Chu Yeyang, who was still frozen.

This time, Xu Ning did not let Little Gray enter the sect, instead he asked it to find a place to store Chu Yeyang and wait for him.

Once he refined the Heartless Pill, he would naturally return to it.

Afterwards, Xu Ning returned to the sect alone.

After leaving for so long, Xu Ning wanted to know if the Yuelan Sect had made a decision in regards to the alliance of the three state sects.
