Chapter 281 Red Sea Demon Sect's Tactic?

The competition between the disciples of the various large sects continued until the evening.

The moment the moon rose, the sparring session between the sect disciples on that day was temporarily over. The sect conference in Zuiyue Canton would take a total of three days.

The first two days were filled with spars between disciples, while the third day was a competition between sect masters and elders.

After the spars ended that day, Xu Ning and the others left with everyone, waiting to come back tomorrow.

Xu Ning and the other two did not immediately go to Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, and the others, instead they first stayed in a restaurant.

The next day, they entered the venue again.

Just like on the first day, the disciples of the Source Sect were still mostly defeated, and most of the losers were covered in wounds.

Finally, the third day arrived. This day belonged to the dao realm masters of the various major sects. The sun was high in the sky, and the atmosphere in the garden stands was lively.

Only the area where the Source Sect was located seemed depressing.

This was because there were too many injured disciples, as less than one-third of the Source Sect disciples were still below the stage.

Just like two days ago, the host explained the process on stage and adjusted the atmosphere.

"Sect masters, elders, you are all masters of Zuiyue Canton. Being able to exchange pointers and what you have learned among one another is beneficial for the development of martial arts in our Zuiyue Canton."

"Next, we don't have any hard rules. Anyone who wants to spar shall take the initiative to challenge." "I just hope that everyone will stop as you see fit and not harm the harmony of our canton!"

With that, the host left the stage.

Everyone quieted down and looked around, waiting for the first challenger.

At this moment.

The fat bearded man who had sneered at Xin Andao walked out of the crowd and stood on the stage. "It's the Sect Master of the Half Autumn Sect, Ding Bo!"

Below the stage, someone recognized him.

Many people looked excited.

Ding Bo, the Half Autumn Sect's dao realm third stage master, was very strong.

An expert of this level appearing so quickly caused a wave of cheers.

"This Ding Bo sure is quite confident…"

Below the stage, Canton Governor Ji smiled. Canton Governor Ji appeared on the first day of the sect conference, but he didn't come on the second day.

On the third day, the day the sect masters and elders would be sparring, he appeared again.

"Source Sect Sect Master Xin Andao, please enlighten me!"

Ding Bo stood on the stage and cupped his fists towards Xin Andao.

"So he is challenging me…'

Xin Andao's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal.

In fact, when Ding Bo was eager to get on the stage, Xin Andao already had a premonition.

Ding Bo's Half Autumn Sect was the most domineering of the several forces that had been eyeing the Source Sect's green-patterned winter iron ore mine.

They had taken the initiative to provoke the Source Sect many times, just so that the Source Sect would counterattack, giving them a reason to attack the Source Sect.

However, Xin Andao suppressed his anger every time, making the elders and disciples of the Source Sect maintain rationality as well.

But now that Ding Bo took the initiative to challenge him, he could no longer avoid this.

If he continued to avoid fights in public, it would greatly affect the Source Sect negatively. "Source Sect Xin Andao accepts the challenge!" Xin Andao stood up.

"Sect Master!"

Teng Yunkong, Gu Man, and the others beside him looked a little anxious.

They all knew that Xin Andao was only a dao realm second stage master. Although he was already in the peak of the astral qi realm, he was still far inferior to Ding Bo, who was in the third stage. Xin Andao glanced at them and still went to the stage determinedly.

"This Ding Bo is so distasteful…"

Below, Canton Governor Ji said to himself, "A dao realm third stage challenging a dao realm second stage is too much…"

The two core materialization realm masters next to Canton Governor Ji only smiled and did not answer.

Canton Governor Ji didn't say anything else either.

Canton Governor Ji more or less knew what these people were thinking.

He also knew what the Source Sect might face next.

However, Canton Governor Ji did not intend to intervene.

Firstly, he had no relationship with the Source Sect. Secondly, the Source Sect did not have a sect token.

As long as such a sect was not destroyed maliciously, it would not affect Canton Governor Ji much. The disputes between the various sects had always existed. "Junior Brother Xu."

When Si Ying saw this, she was a little worried. "Sect Master Xin Andao shouldn't be in any danger, right?" "There is a difference in realm, so Sect Master Xin is likely not Ding Bo's opponent."

Xu Ning replied.

When Ding Bo went on stage, everyone was talking about him, so Xu Ning now had a little understanding of Ding Bo.

"Then what do we do?"

In He Mingye and Si Ying's opinion, the Source Sect was their hometown.

"If Sect Master Xin is in danger, I will help."

Xu Ning's words made the two feel relieved.

The two people on the stage had already begun to fight. Because the destructive power of a dao realm master was huge, the aftershock of the battle was also very dangerous.

Therefore, a protective barrier had been set up on the stage.

"Sect Master Xin, please don't hold back!"

Ding Bo sneered. The knuckle dao weapon in his hand emitted a fluorescent light, erupting with violent astral qi.

He used his full strength to pressure Xin Andao to the extreme.

Xin Andao also took out a dao weapon chain. On the top of the chain was a sharp spear tip.

Xin Andao controlled the dao weapon chain and fought against Ding Bo. Bang! Bang! Bang! The force of the astral qi collision distorted the protective barrier. The spectators were both excited and shocked.

The fight between dao realm masters excited them, but they were also worried that the protective barrier would break and injure them.

'Xin Andao's foundation in the void realm is quite good…'

Xu Ning thought to himself as he observed.

When Xin Andao fought against Ding Bo, although he was at a disadvantage, he was not seriously injured.

'Moreover, Xin Andao can break through to the third stage of the dao realm at any time…'

Xu Ning had a rough understanding of Xin Andao's strength.

"Sect Master Xin of the Source Sect is amazing! His realm is low compared to his opponent, but he is still fighting on par!"

"There are not many characters who can fight enemies above their level!"

"Sect Master Ding Bo is not as strong as I thought…"

The crowd began to discuss.

"This Xin Andao is quite capable…"

Canton Governor Ji had a look of appreciation in his eyes.

However, what Xin Andao had revealed so far was not enough for him to stand up for the Source Sect.

"What is Ding Bo doing? He can't even deal with an astral qi realm master…"

Several sect leaders who were coveting the Source Sect were dissatisfied with Ding Bo's performance.

They were all waiting for Ding Bo to seriously injure or even kill Xin Andao before devouring the Source Sect.

Once the Source Sect lost Xin Andao, they would completely lose their protection.

This Xin Andao!'

Ding Bo, who was fighting against Xin Andao, was getting more and more anxious.

re

He didn't expect Xin Andao to be so difficult to deal with.

Ding Bo knew very well that if he couldn't quickly get rid of Xin Andao, he would turn into a laughing stock.

"Ha!"

Ding Bo, who had been attacking without success, suddenly shouted and pulled away.

He took out a leather pouch and slapped it, then a black shadow floated out like a wisp of smoke and entered Ding Bo's mouth.

In an instant, Ding Bo's eyes were red, and his body was covered in black smoke. "Let's see how many times you can last this time!"

Ding Bo attacked Xin Andao like a hungry tiger.

"What technique is this?"

"Sect Master Ding Bo seems to have gotten stronger!"

Seeing the new battle methods, the people in the stands felt like they had broadened their horizons again.

"This move?"

Canton Governor Ji was calm, but after seeing the black shadow in the leather pouch, he suddenly sat up straight.

This reminded him of an extremely terrifying faction.

"Ding Bo's background is not simple, right?"

Canton Governor Governor Ji asked the core materialization realm masters next to him.

Previously, Canton Governor Ji did not pay much attention to the Half Autumn Sect, so he did not know much about Ding Bo.

But these two core materialization realm masters were in cahoots with Ding Bo. Plus, they were concerned about the Source Sect's green-patterned winter iron ore mine.

However, they were unwilling to get involved in this matter directly, but with the scale of their sect, they could easily get a share of the pie.

"Apparently, his cousin is a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect…"

One of the core materialization realm masters said in a low voice.

"Sure enough!"

Canton Governor Ji's pupils shrank. "Red Sea Demon Sect…"

Canton Governor Ji's eyes were full of fear. The Red Sea Demon Sect was a top sect in State Wansheng.

Apparently, the founder of the Red Sea Demon Sect, the Red Sea Demon Lord, had reached the limit of the dao realm. He could break through the realm barrier at any time and become a grandmaster.

Although the Red Sea Demon Sect was not an official sect, no one dared to provoke them. 'What method is Ding Bo using!!

After Xu Ning saw the black shadow enter Ding Bo's mouth, his expression turned cold.

The aura of the black shadow terrified Xu Ning, but there was also a sense of familiarity.

However, Xu Ning did not remember where he had come into contact with this kind of aura.

"Not good!"

On the stage, Xin Andao could still stabilize the situation, but after using the black shadow, Ding Bo's aura rose to the extreme.

Ding Bo clawed downwards and Xin Andao faced the attack head-on.

However, although he resisted the attack, Xin Andao felt a strong burning sensation in his body as black qi entered his body.

'What kind of technique is this?'

Xin Andao was shocked.

However, Ding Bo did not give Xin Andao a chance to react. His attacks came like a storm, causing Xin Andao to be unable to defend at all.

'Die!'

Xin Andao was already at a disadvantage, so he could only endure it passively.

And at this moment, Ding Bo condensed black qi and materialized it, then he attacked Xin Andao.

'It's over!

Xin Andao's expression changed.

Chapter 282 First Class Guest of the King Mansion?

Xin Andao could clearly sense the terrifying power of this terrifying attack.

The power of this attack was comparable to a full force attack of a fourth stage dao realm core materialization realm master.

'Is this the method of the Red Sea Demon Sect…'

Canton Governor Ji had a complicated look in his eyes, but he did not do anything.

"Sect Master!"

Teng Yunkong, Gu Man, and the others were all furious. They ignored their own lives and were about to get up on the stage.

The other spectators also noticed Xin Andao's dangerous situation.

'If this attack landed…'

Xin Andao knew that something was wrong. He would be either dead or seriously injured by Ding Bo from this heavy blow.

Xin Andao already saw the murderous intent in Ding Bo's eyes.

Bang!

However, just when the attack was about to land, a figure suddenly appeared.

The man waved his hand, and Ding Bo bounced off the force like a ball and crashed into the protective barrier.

The protective barrier instantly shattered.

"You agreed to spar yet you want to kill. How insincere…"

Xu Ning stood in front of Xin Andao.

He looked down at Ding Bo who was sprawled out on the stage.

'Who is he?!'

Ding Bo was slowly coming to his senses. He felt his vision blur just now, then he felt his body being repelled by a terrifying force before directly shattering the protective barrier. Ding Bo got up and looked at Xu Ning in horror.

Although he felt that he was not injured, Xu Ning's terrifying strength shocked him.

'Could this person be a dao realm sixth stage core transformation realm master?'

Xu Ning's invisible pressure made Ding Bo think of his cousin.

His cousin was a core transformation realm deacon in the Red Sea Demon Sect.

"Huh?!"

Xu Ning's sudden appearance caused Canton Governor Ji to stand up suddenly.

Looking at Xu Ning, he was worried.

Xu Ning instantly appeared on the stage and pushed Ding Bo away. Canton Governor Ji couldn't react at all.

Canton Governor Ji knew very well that the man in front of him was stronger than him.

"That is… Xu Ning!"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man below the stage were both dumbfounded.

"Xu Ning is already so strong?"

They recognized Xu Ning immediately.

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man looked at each other.

Soon, the shock in their eyes slowly turned into relief.

The strength Xu Ning displayed just now definitely exceeded the core materialization realm.

Since he appeared here and was willing to stand up for the Source Sect, the crisis of the Source Sect could be resolved.

"You are?"

Xin Andao looked at the strange man in front of him in surprise.

He didn't expect to be saved by a stranger.

"Sect Master Xin, I am Xu Ning from the Abyss North."

Xu Ning smiled faintly. "Xu Ning!"

Xin Andao was taken aback at first, then his expression became fervent.

Same origins!

Although Xin Andao had never seen Xu Ning before, he had heard of him from Teng Yunkong and Gu Man.

He knew that Xu Ning not only had amazing martial arts aptitude, but he could also kill enemies above his level. He was extremely powerful

Moreover, the crisis of the Jade Night Sect in the Abyss North was solved by him personally. Thinking of Xu Ning's strength just now, Xin Andao knew that the Source Sect was safe today. "Who are you, how dare you disturb the order of the Zuiyue Canton Sect Conference?"

Canton Governor Ji suddenly appeared on the stage and confronted Xu Ning.

Canton Governor Ji's expression was ugly.

This sect conference was held in Zuiyue Canton, and as a canton governor, he was even watching it live. If the conference was disrupted like this, his reputation would be damaged.

Just as Canton Governor Ji thought, the spectators below were all curious and waiting to watch a show.

This sect conference was already exciting enough, but now there were already so much action midway, which made everyone very satisfied.

"Disturb the order?"

Xu Ning did not panic at all when facing Canton Governor Ji.

"I just couldn't stand using the excuse of a spar to harm lives anymore, so I stopped the competition."

Xu Ning also said with an upright air, "Moreover, I didn't hurt Ding Bo."

Xu Ning knew his limits. When he flicked Ding Bo just now, he only used an appropriate amount of strength.

Although no one present was his opponent, this was someone else's territory after all. Xu Ning was cautious and tried his best not to let others talk negatively about him.

"I'm asking who you are?"

Canton Governor Ji's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, he realized that Xu Ning was not afraid of him at all.

"I am Xu Ning from State Guqing, a guest of the Harmony King Mansion."

Xu Ning took out his guest token from the Harmony King Mansion.

The current Xu Ning had his guest token upgraded by Duan Chaofeng to become a first-class guest of the Harmony King Mansion.

Those who had a first-class guest token were mostly high level dao realm masters in the Harmony King Mansion.

As for Xu Ning, because of his great potential, he was highly valued by Duan Chaofeng, so he also had a first-class guest token. 'A guest from the Harmony King Mansion?'

Canton Governor Ji was shocked.

Although the Harmony King Mansion was not in State Fengling, it was still part of the royal

family.

Amongst the members of the royal family, the Harmony King was a powerful king.

Moreover, the Foam King of State Fengling had a good relationship with the Harmony King.

The moment Xu Ning revealed his identity, Canton Governor Ji knew that he could not question this person today.

Even if the Harmony King Mansion was far away in State Guqing, he couldn't do anything to Xu Ning. Otherwise, slapping the face of the Harmony King Mansion would be slapping the face of the Duan imperial family. By then, there was no need for the Harmony King Mansion to make a move. Even the Foam King of State Fengling would have to pressure him.

'Moreover, the guest token in this person's hand seems to be a first-class guest token!' County Governor Ji also noticed this detail.

Forget about him, even the state overseer would not take the initiative to offend a first-class guest of a king mansion.

"What, that person is a guest of the Harmony King Mansion?"

After hearing Xu Ning's self-introduction, the crowd was in an uproar.

Zuiyue Canton was not a strong canton. Almost all the masters in the canton were here.

In their opinion, the king mansion was a distant existence.

And those who could enter the mansion and become guests were not simple. "Xu Ning is actually a guest of the Harmony King Mansion!"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man were overjoyed.

In this case, forget about the crisis being averted, as long as Xu Ning was willing to protect them, the Source Sect would not have to give up the green-patterned winter iron ore mine.

"So you are Brother Xu from the Harmony King Mansion."

Canton Governor Ji's attitude softened.

"Canton Governor Ji, sorry for offending you today. I have a deep relationship with the Source Sect, so it is naturally impossible for me to see the Source Sect's sect master be killed by someone. So please forgive me for taking action rashly."

Seeing the other person change his attitude, Xu Ning also lowered his stance.

In someone else's territory, things that could be easily resolved were best to be easily resolved. There was no need to create so many disputes.

"Of course, there's nothing to be forgiven about!"

Seeing that Xu Ning was being so understanding, Canton Governor Ji no longer cared about the opinions of others. His attitude towards Xu Ning became even closer.

"Canton Governor Ji, the Source Sect will not participate in today's sect conference. I saw that many of the Source Sect's disciples were injured from watching the conference two days ago. In this state, even if we continue to participate in this sect conference, we will not be able to do anything, so we will temporarily withdraw for now."

Xu Ning said tactfully.

"Sure."

Canton Governor Ji cupped his fists.

Xu Ning responded with a greeting.

Xin Andao saw this and left the stage with Xu Ning

He greeted the Source Sect's elders and disciples.

Afterwards, under everyone's gaze, they walked out of the flower garden.

There were already many people in the venue of the sect conference with pale faces.

But because of Xu Ning's power just now, no one dared to attack.

After leaving the flower garden, the group returned to the Source Sect.

"Xu Ning, thank you so much for today!"

Inside the Source Sect, Xin Andao personally thanked Xu Ning with the elders. "At the same time, thank you both."

Xin Andao also thanked He Mingye and Si Ying.

"We are all from the Abyss North, what's there to thank?"

Xu Ning and the other two didn't care. On the way back, Xin Andao and the others already knew about Xu Ning's experiences over the past two years. After learning that the Swallow Heron Sect had expanded and that Xu Ning had become the trusted aide of the Harmony Prince and had reached the fifth stage of the dao realm, it took a long time for them to recover from their numbness.

"Xu Ning."

Xin Andao took the initiative to say, "You already know about the Source Sect. The reason why the Source Sect is being targeted by various parties is because of this green-patterned winter iron ore mine. If it weren't for you today, the Source Sect would have been seriously injured, and the green-patterned winter iron ore mine would have been lost."

"In order to express my gratitude, I am willing to give you half of the ore produced."

Xin Andao was quite generous.

"No need."

Xu Ning waved his hand.

The reason why Xu Ning refused Xin Andao's proposal was firstly because he didn't want to occupy the Source Sect's development resources, and secondly, because that amount of green-patterned winter iron ore was not very valuable to Xu Ning.

"Sect Master Xin."

Xu Ning changed the topic. "Sect Master Feng Xiu of the Source Sect in the Abyss North has been worried about you all. You haven't sent any news in the past year, so they are very worried."

When Xin Andao heard this, he also showed a look of helplessness.

"Our sect's distant sound stones have been used up."

Xin Andao explained, "The reason why we can communicate from so far away is because of a damaged secret treasure. And every time that damaged secret treasure is activated, we have to use a distant sound stone. Moreover, distant sound stones are not easy to obtain. Now that it has been consumed, we can no longer send news back." "Distant sound stones…"

Xu Ning nodded. Just like Xin Andao said, this thing was rare.

Even Xu Ning, who had plenty of reserves, didn't have this kind of thing in his pockets.

"In any case, since you guys came here specifically, stay here for a few days. Let's talk about the past of the Abyss North together."

Xin An suggested.

Disregarding the help Xu Ning gave to the Source Sect, the three of them were old friends from the Abyss North, which made Xin Andao and the others feel close to them.

Report chapter

Chapter 283 Origin Technique

A few days later.

In a remote mountain sect in Zuiyue Canton.

Ding Bo was sitting cross-legged in a sect's sealed room.

After a long time, Ding Bo opened his eyes.

He looked a little annoyed. Ever since the end of the sect conference, Ding Bo had been irritated.

When he fought against Xin Andao, he had used his trump card, preparing to take the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill Xin Andao. After that, he planned to join forces with other sects to obtain the Source Sect's green-patterned winter iron ore mine.

But at the critical moment, Xin Andao was saved.

And the person who saved him was a first-class guest of the Harmony King Mansion.

This made Ding Bo feel extremely aggrieved.

Not only did he not meet his goals, but he was also embarrassed in public.

What was more infuriating was that because of the person's special status, Canton Governor Ji was very polite to him, so he didn't dare to offend him.

Over the past few days, Ding Bo wanted to concentrate on his cultivation and get rid of this annoying feeling.

But after trying multiple times, he couldn't get into the mood.

'Cousin should return to Zuiyue Canton soon. When he comes back, maybe he can help me regain some face.'

Ding Bo thought to himself.

Ding Bo's cousin Gu Songying was an external deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect, a top sect in State Wansheng.

Although he was not a big shot in the Red Sea Demon Sect, he was respected by many people outside.

It was precisely with Gu Songying's help and resources that Ding Bo was able to establish his own sect in his hometown, Zuiyue Canton, as an ordinary dao realm master.

"Sect Master! Guest Elder Gu is back."

Ding Bo was thinking deeply when a disciple suddenly activated the mechanism outside the sealed room and sent a message to Ding Bo. 'Such coincidence?'

Ding Bo was overjoyed. 'Cousin is back!'

In order to support Ding Bo, Gu Songying became a guest elder in his sect. Ding Bo immediately left the sealed room.

Soon, he saw his cousin, Gu Songying.

Gu Songying was tall and skinny. He had a serious expression on his face.

He was dressed in black, with the pattern of the Red Sea Demon Sect on his chest.

"Cousin!"

Ding Bo quickly stepped forward.

He was very respectful to Gu Songying.

"I heard you lost face a few days ago?"

Ding Bo was still thinking about what to say when Gu Songying took the initiative to open up the conversation.

Ding Bo was a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, he explained the situation to Gu Songying.

"You used the methods of the Red Sea Demon Sect and were still easily subdued. That person's strength is either at the peak of the core cleansing realm, or a core transformation realm master like me."

Gu Songying made a guess about Xu Ning's strength.

"Brother, that person insulted me too much, can you teach him a lesson?"

Now that his cousin was standing in front of him, Ding Bo was bold. He wanted Gu Songying to help him.

"Your martial arts cultivation is not high enough, so you want me to help you get back your pride. That sounds ridiculous."

Gu Songying reprimanded Ding Bo.

Ding Bo lowered his head, not daring to refute. "However, you are still my cousin."

Gu Songying changed the topic. "I came back this time to help you build a higher prestige in the Zuiyue Canton and expand the size of your sect. I want to make your sect a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect."

"Become a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

Ding Bo's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Once they became a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect, there would be many benefits.

Being able to rely on the Red Sea Demon Sect was like obtaining a sect token, allowing them to be protected by a greater faction.

Moreover, he could also use the channels of the Red Sea Demon Sect to accelerate the construction of the sect.

In a few decades, his sect would become the largest sect in Zuiyue Canton.

"However, I didn't expect to hear about your disgrace as soon as I arrived in Zuiyue Canton. This made my future plans seem a little passive."

Gu Songying glanced at Ding Bo coldly.

"But now that things have come to this, if I want to continue with my plans, I have to recover my face from the guest of the Harmony King Mansion and that small sect first."

Gu Songying said, "Come with me to that Source Sect."

"When do we leave?" Ding Bo seemed a little excited. Since Gu Songying was willing to solve the problem, the other party could only give in. "Now."

Afterwards, Gu Songying and Ding Bo left.

In the past few days after arriving at the Source Sect, besides talking to Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, and others about the past, Xu Ning was helping the Source Sect refine some precious medicinal pills and teaching the Source Sect disciples.

On this day, as soon as Xu Ning finished refining a furnace full of pills, he felt the aura of a powerhouse approaching outside the Source Sect.

'Dao realm sixth stage, core transformation realm!'

Xu Ning instantly noticed the visitor's aura.

His figure flashed and appeared outside the Source Sect.

At this moment, Gu Songying had arrived with Ding Bo.

"Ding Bo?"

Xu Ning recognized Ding Bo first, then he looked at Gu Songying.

"That pattern mark…"

Xu Ning noticed that there was a pattern mark on Gu Songying's black shirt.

Xu Ning found the pattern mark familiar.

'That is…'

Suddenly, Xu Ning reacted.

He had seen that symbol in the Red Sea Demon Lord's inheritance mystic realm.

'This person is from the Red Sea Demon Sect?'

Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that the familiar aura he felt from Ding Bo a few days ago was similar to the aura of the black bird in the Red Sea Demon Lord's inheritance.

'So Ding Bo is related to the Red Sea Demon Sect…'

Xu Ning finally understood.

Xu Ning realized that these two must be here to cause trouble after seeing their unpleasant attitude.

"You are the guest of the Harmony King Mansion?"

Gu Songying examined Xu Ning.

When Xu Ning first appeared, Gu Songying had already inferred Xu Ning's identity.

"That is right, who are you?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Deacon Gu Songying of the Red Sea Demon Sect."

Gu Songying responded. 'Sure enough, they are from the Red Sea Demon Sect…'

Xu Ning was cautious.

The Red Sea Demon Sect might be the strongest faction in State Wansheng besides the Duan imperial family.

"What?"

Xin Andao and the others also arrived.

Gu Songying and Ding Bo did not hide their aura so Xin Andao and the others had also noticed that a master was coming from the outside.

Thus, they rushed over.

They were just shocked when they heard Gu Songying's self-introduction.

The Red Sea Demon Sect was a giant monster in their eyes.

'Ding Bo actually has the backing of the Red Sea Demon Sect…'

Xin Andao finally knew about this.

Xin Andao initially didn't know much about Ding Bo.

"I just returned to Zuiyue Canton today, and I heard that a master from the king mansion is here in Source Sect, so I rushed over."

Gu Songying said, "It is rare for a foreign master to come to Zuiyue Canton, so I want to spar with you and exchange pointers."

It seemed that because of his identity as a guest of the Harmony King Mansion, Gu Songying spoke to him in a gentle tone.

But his words were full of hostility.

Gu Songying wanted to win back Ding Bo's reputation by using a spar as an excuse.

Only in this way, when he helped Ding Bo expand the size of the sect and operate it to become a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect in the future, would it be easier.

Xu Ning naturally noticed Gu Songying's intentions.

The other party was obviously here to cause trouble so there was no way to avoid this.

"I have long heard of the prestige of the Red Sea Demon Sect. If I can spar with you today, it will be quite good."

Xu Ning smiled faintly and responded.

He also knew that Gu Songying was here to find him.

From the start to the end, Gu Songying never once looked at Xin Andao.

Xin Andao's strength was not worthy of Gu Songying's attention.

"Ding Bo, get out of the way."

Gu Songying waved his hand.

"Yes, Cousin."

Ding Bo immediately responded and stepped aside.

During this process, Ding Bo glanced at Xin Andao and gave him a provocative look.

'So this deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect is Ding Bo's cousin…'

Xin Andao's heart tightened.

Seeing Xu Ning being targeted by a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect because of him, Xin Andao felt a little guilty.

"Sect Master Xin, don't worry."

Seemingly sensing Xin Andao's unease, He Mingye said, "My junior brother has a strong foundation, so he won't be in any danger against Gu Songying. Moreover, my junior brother is from the Harmony King Mansion, so he won't dare to kill him. He is just coming here just to take revenge."

He Mingye saw everything clearly from the sidelines.

"Mmm…"

Hearing this, Xin Andao and the others could only temporarily pull away.

"Let's stop as we see fit."

Gu Songying said.

Just like He Mingye said, Gu Songying wanted to establish prestige for Ding Bo, but he did not want to hurt Xu Ning.

Otherwise, he would have to face a lot of pressure from the Harmony King Mansion.

"This is the first time I have fought a core transformation realm master…'

After pulling away, Xu Ning looked forward to this spar.

This was because a core transformation realm master could practice techniques of origin.

Techniques of origin were also called origin techniques. They could only be created by a peak dao realm ninth stage master after touching upon the origin.

Only after reaching the core transformation realm could one comprehend and learn it.

Duan Chaofeng had promised Xu Ning that once Xu Ning advanced to the core transformation realm, he could choose any of the origin techniques in the mansion to learn.

"Please."

Xu Ning gestured to Gu Songying. Gu Songying nodded slightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Gu Songying had already planned to use his full strength to defeat Xu Ning.

If this news spread, the entire Zuiyue Canton would understand his strength.

By then, Ding Bo could also use his reputation to strengthen his sect.

Whoosh!

A black fog appeared in front of Gu Songying, then the black fog dispersed and condensed into blade shadows.

The black fog blade shadows made a buzzing sound.

"Wind Demon Thousand Blades!"

Gu Songying shouted and the black fog blade shadows in front of him slashed towards Xu Ning

Report chapter

Chapter 284 Victory, Red Sea Pill Sutra?

'This power…'

Xu Ning suddenly felt a sense of danger when he saw the black fog blade shadows fly over. 'Sure enough, Gu Songying cultivated an origin technique!' Xu Ning immediately noticed the difference in the black fog blade shadows.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning shot out several astral qi and collided with the black fog blade shadows.

However, the moment Xu Ning's astral qi made contact with the black fog blade shadows, it was eliminated. "This…"

The corners of Xu Ning's eyes twitched. He didn't have time to think so he just dodged the black fog blade shadows.

'So this is an origin technique…'

Xu Ning had finally witnessed the terrifying power of an origin technique. 'This origin technique is on a completely different level from my astral qi!'

"The origin technique itself has the power of origin. The higher the realm, the denser the power of origin would be in the origin technique."

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Gu Songying is only a core transformation realm master, but the origin technique he displayed is already so terrifying. If the dao realm ninth stage creator of the origin technique used it, how terrifying would it be?!'

Xu Ning had also once witnessed the power of an origin technique from Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

But now that he was facing it, Xu Ning could clearly sense how lethal the origin power contained in this seemingly ordinary origin technique was. The power of origin was the source of all extraordinary power from martial arts.

"Heh…"

Gu Songying's lips curled up when he saw Xu Ning's reaction.

There was only a difference of one realm between the core transformation realm and the core cleansing realm.

Although the difference in realm between dao realms was huge, some geniuses with deep foundations could indeed fight enemies above their level after using their trump cards.

However, if a core transformation realm master learned an origin technique, then the chances of a core cleansing realm master winning were basically zero.

In the long history of State Wansheng, there were only a little more than a hundred people who could fight against a master of origin techniques in the core cleansing realm.

Perhaps in a long time, such a person would not be born.

Once this kind of person grew up, they would be the top dogs in State Wansheng.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Gu Songying continued to activate the Wind Demon Thousand Blades, launching a flurry of attacks at Xu Ning.

"Wind Smoke Gourd!"

Xu Ning used a secret treasure. He first used the gray fog to cover his body, while at the same time, enveloping Gu Songying. "Huh? A secret treasure?"

Gu Songying's expression froze slightly.

However, Gu Songying was not surprised that Xu Ning had a secret treasure.

After all, Gu Songying himself also had a secret treasure bestowed by the Red Sea Demon Sect, but his secret treasure was not used for combat.

'In this gray fog, my perception is isolated to a certain extent, and there is also the power of the poisonous miasma…'

Gu Songying quickly figured out the Wind Smoke Gourd's ability in the shortest amount of time.

Although he was temporarily trapped in the gray fog, Gu Songying did not panic at all.

His Wind Demon Thousand Blades slashed back and forth in the gray fog, intending to force Xu Ning out.

'You're coming?'

After Gu Songying's attack failed, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from a certain direction in the gray fog.

A hundred black fog blades condensed in front of Gu Songying and slashed in that direction.

Roar!

A muffled roar rang out. Xu Ning slashed with the Cyan Wolf Knife. The will of the cyan wolf in the Cyan Wolf Knife at this moment had been completely activated by Xu Ning. Bang! Bang! Bang! With the Cyan Wolf Knife, Gu Songying's black fog blades were slashed into pieces. 'What kind of weapon is that?'

Gu Songying was shocked. 'A dao weapon? Or a secret treasure?'

'It's not an ordinary dao weapon. If it was an ordinary dao weapon, it would be damaged even if it didn't break when it came into contact with the black fog blades. But it also shouldn't be a secret treasure. This weapon doesn't have the terrifying power of a secret treasure…'

Even the experienced Gu Songying could not notice the origin of the Cyan Wolf Knife. Gu Songying just felt that the Cyan Wolf Knife was a very special and powerful dao weapon.

At least the material of the Cyan Wolf Knife was not inferior to a weapon on the level of a secret treasure.

In a split second, Xu Ning was already in front of Gu Songying Xu Ning swung his knife. This time, astral qi was attached to the surface of the Cyan Wolf Knife.

With it, the astral qi on the Cyan Wolf Knife would not be eliminated by the black fog blade.

"Ha!"

Xu Ning slashed down several times.

He was full of momentum.

When Xu Ning advanced to the core cleansing realm, his inner core had been cleansed sixty times, which was extremely rare.

This also allowed Xu Ning's dao realm strength to be completely capable of fighting above his realm.

'So strong!

When Xu Ning faced him head-on, Gu Songying finally realized how terrifying the power of Xu Ning's dao realm was. Immediately, he activated the Wind Demon Thousand Blades to fight against Xu Ning again.

For a moment, the two sides were equally matched.

'How is this possible?' Gu Songying was really flustered. This Xu Ning is only a core cleansing realm master. How can he be on par with me, who has mastered an origin technique? In fact… he is even slightly stronger than me!'

'Could it be that Xu Ning is the kind of top notch genius that only appears once in a long time?!!

Gu Songying was shocked.

The current situation was completely different from what he had expected.

Seeing Xu Ning's fierce attacks, Gu Songying began to lose his pace.

In the beginning, the poisonous miasma of the gray fog was nothing to Gu Songying. He could completely withstand it.

But as the two fought evenly, the poisonous miasma began to tilt the battle.

Finally, Gu Songying's body was invaded by the poisonous miasma.

He had no choice but to use the power of the dao realm to expel it from his body.

However, the moment he expelled the miasma out of his body, his defensive movements also slowed down for a moment.

This process was very short.

However, in a fight at their level, this was fatal.

'Good opportunity!'

Xu Ning seized this opportunity and attacked.

Xu Ning activated the will of the cyan wolf in the Cyan Wolf Knife to the extreme.

At the same time, the inner core that was cleansed sixty times began to spin frantically and the power of Xu Ning's dao realm was condensed to the limit.

Swoosh!

The knife slashed down.

Pfft!

A wound appeared on Gu Songying's chest.

Xu Ning smiled.

He knew that he had already won this spar.

Xu Ning did not let the knife continue to slash down.

If he didn't stop, Gu Songying's heart would explode and he would die on the spot.

Xu Ning naturally could do this.

Plus, there was no deep hatred between the two sides. Before fighting, they had agreed to spar, so they could not harm each other's lives.

Moreover, Gu Songying was a member of the Red Sea Demon Sect. If he was killed, he might be in endless trouble.

With the power of the Red Sea Demon Sect, even if the Harmony King Mansion protected him, it might be useless.

"This!"

Gu Songying felt the wound on his chest, as well as the terrifying feeling of death just now. He felt his entire body go cold.

"I lost…"

Gu Songying looked at Xu Ning in disbelief.

'What a terrifying martial arts aptitude! Even the 'seeds' in the sect can't compare to him, right?'

Gu Songying felt a little numb.

"You went easy on me, Brother Gu!"

Xu Ning did not taunt or mock him like a winner.

"Awesome, awesome!"

Gu Songying shook his head helplessly and stopped. Whoosh!

Xu Ning also put away the gray fog. "The fight is over!"

After the gray fog dissipated, Ding Bo, Xin Andao, and the others saw the scene clearly. Xin Andao was worried about Xu Ning before the spar.

But now, seeing that Xu Ning was fine, he was relieved.

"Brother Xu is better, I'm not as good as you."

Gu Songying didn't hide the result and announced it in front of everyone.

This surprised Xu Ning.

Xu Ning planned to not declare anyone a winner in this spar, but he didn't expect Gu Songying to admit defeat.

This allowed Xu Ning to have a better impression of Gu Songying.

"What!?"

The people on the sidelines had different expressions.

"Xu Ning actually won!"

Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, Gu Man, and the others looked confused at first, then relieved.

Although He Mingye and Si Ying were happy, they were relatively calm.

This was because when Xu Ning was in the Abyss North, he had already created miracles one after another. Xu Ning's performance had already made them feel accustomed to it.

Only Ding Bo was stunned on the spot. He couldn't recover from the shock.

'How did this happen?!'

Ding Bo knew that his cousin Gu Songying had mastered an origin technique, but did Xu Ning also master an origin technique? "Ding Bo."

Gu Songying looked at Ding Bo. "Let's go."

Gu Songying was not a sore loser.

"Thank you for today."

Gu Songying cupped his fists towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning responded before throwing out a pill. "I personally refined this pill. After taking it, it can quickly heal your injuries."

Xu Ning gave Gu Songying a pill as a gesture of goodwill.

as

After all, Gu Songying was a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect, so how could he not have any medicinal pills to heal his injuries?

Forging a friendship with a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect might help in the future.

Although Xu Ning still had a token to go to the Red Sea Demon Sect, he did not plan to join the Red Sea Demon Sect. Xu Ning was very satisfied with his current environment.

"Thank you."

Gu Songying understood Xu Ning's intentions and caught the pill. At the same time, he was curious about Xu

Ning.

Not only was Xu Ning strong in martial arts, but he was also a master alchemist.

After Gu Songying took the pill, he was about to put it into his mouth. However, after sniffing and checking it, Gu Songying looked surprised. He pried open the pill and took a closer look.

"This alchemy refinement technique…'

Gu Songying suddenly looked at Xu Ning. 'It seems to be created with the Red Sea Pill Sutra!'

"Brother Xu."

Gu Songying, who was about to leave, returned.

"I have a question."

Gu Songying turned his head. "What alchemy technique did you practice?"

Report chapter

Chapter 285 Seed Token, Gu Songying's Friendship

"What alchemy technique did you practice?" Xu Ning was a little surprised by Gu Songying's question, but he was not too surprised.

Obviously, Gu Songying had noticed his dao realm alchemy technique, the Red Sea Pill Sutra.

"Just like Brother Gu guessed." Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"Huh?"

Gu Songying's pupils shrank when he received Xu Ning's confirmation. "Is it really the Red Sea Pill Sutra?"

This time, Gu Songying sent a voice transmission to Xu Ning so the others couldn't hear him.

Xu Ning nodded.

"Brother Xu, can we talk in private?"

Gu Songying thought for a moment and invited Xu Ning.

"Sure." Xu Ning did not refuse.

Ding Bo, Xin Andao, and the others couldn't understand Gu Songying's invitation to Xu Ning

But they didn't say anything. They just watched Gu Songying and Xu Ning leave together.

In any case, Xin Andao knew that the crisis of the Source Sect had been averted.

Ding Bo looked a little depressed, but he didn't dare to go against his cousin's wishes.

Gu Songying and Xu Ning came to a dense forest not far from the Source Sect.

"Brother Xu, the Red Sea Pill Sutra is the core alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon Sect. Unless the Sect Master or elders personally teach it to you, it is impossible to learn it. How did you master it?"

Gu Songying went straight to the point.

He looked a little serious. He had to figure this out.

If Xu Ning did not learn from the Red Sea Demon Lord or the elders of the sect, it meant that someone had leaked the core techniques of the sect. If that was the case, this matter must be reported to the sect, and the sect would punish the leaker severely.

Even Xu Ning, who was taught the Red Sea Pill Sutra, had to be captured and brought back to the Red Sea Demon Sect. Even with the protection of the Harmony King Mansion, it was useless.

But if Xu Ning's Red Sea Pill Sutra was personally taught by the Red Sea Demon Lord or the elders of the sect, even if he was not a member of the Red Sea Demon Sect, he was likely to be absorbed into it in the future and become an elite disciple. "Do you need to know so much?"

Xu Ning smiled, as if he didn't care.

But Gu Songying had a serious look on his face. "Brother Xu, please tell me the truth."

Seeing Gu Songying's expression, Xu Ning didn't plan to hide anymore.

There was no problem exposing his relationship with the Red Sea Demon Sect to the disciples of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

"This Red Sea Pill Sutra is what I learned from the Red Sea Demon Lord's inheritance mystic realm."

Xu Ning told the truth. "Learned it in the Sect Master's inheritance mystic realm?"

Gu Songying's eyes twitched.

"Red Sea Demon Lord left behind a mystic realm inheritance in the Abyss North. I passed the assessment there and obtained this Red Sea Pill Sutra."

Xu Ning added.

"I see…"

Gu Songying remembered what the seniors of the sect said. A long time ago, the Red Sea Demon Lord had indeed gone out to sea to travel.

The places he traveled included the Abyss North.

However, the place where he left his inheritance was not just in the Abyss North.

There was more than one person who obtained the inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord's mystic realm.

For example, a core figure in the high level of the dao realm in the Red Sea Demon Sect had obtained the inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord in the Abyss South decades ago. He then crossed the Endless Sea with the token from the inheritance, came to State Wansheng, and joined the Red Sea Demon Sect, obtaining the identity of a 'seed'.

Gu Songying was a little excited when he thought of this.

He looked at Xu Ning. "Brother Xu, as far as I know, when the Sect Master leaves his inheritance abroad, not only does he teach the ultimate techniques of the sect, but he also leaves behind a token. I wonder if I can take a look at Brother Xu's token."

"You even know such details…"

Xu Ning smiled and took out the black bead he had obtained from the black bird in the inheritance mystic realm.

According to the black bird, holding this black bead would allow one to enter the Red Sea Demon Sect and become a member.

However, because Xu Ning wanted to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, and his current environment was stable and beneficial to him, Xu Ning did not have the intention to join the Red Sea Demon Sect.

The moment the black bead was taken out, Gu Songying's eyes lit up.

"Brother Xu, can I take a look…"

Unknowingly, Gu Songying's attitude towards Xu Ning became a little humble. "Sure."

Xu Ning put the black bead in Gu Songying's hand.

Gu Songying looked excited, his hands trembling

He carefully looked at the black bead. After confirming it a few times, he carefully handed it back to Xu Ning with both hands.

"That's right, it's a seed token of the sect!"

Gu Songying said. "Seed token?"

Xu Ning glanced at the black bead in his hand. "What is that?"

"A seed token is the identity certificate of the most core disciples of the sect!"

An inexplicable flame burned in Gu Songying's eyes. "With a seed token, you will be supported by the sect and gain access to a massive amount of resources. Moreover, with this seed token, you will have the qualifications to become the sect master of the Red Sea Demon Sect!"

Gu Songying couldn't hide his excitement when he said that.

"Oh?"

Xu Ning didn't expect the seed token in his hand to be so valuable.

When the black bird handed it to Xu Ning, it only said that he could join the Red Sea Demon Sect, but unexpectedly, with this black bead, he could directly become a core disciple of the sect.

"Brother Xu, you haven't joined the Red Sea Demon Sect yet, right?" Gu Songying looked at Xu Ning hopefully.

"No."

Xu Ning shook his head.

"In this case, why don't you let me be your guide and bring you to join the Red Sea Demon Sect!"

Gu Songying's eyes were full of eagerness.

"Join the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

Xu Ning didn't think for long before giving an answer. "I don't have this intention for now."

In Xu Ning's opinion, although the Red Sea Demon Sect had abundant resources, the Harmony King Mansion was not bad.

Now that he was highly valued by Duan Chaofeng, it would not be difficult for him to obtain the resources of the Harmony King Mansion in the future.

Moreover, he had to take good care of the Swallow Heron Sect. With the Harmony King Mansion as his backer, he was quite free.

But if he went to the Red Sea Demon Sect, he would definitely face a new competitive environment. Thinking up to this point, there was no need for him to give up everything he had and rely on the uncertain Red Sea Demon Sect.

"Brother Xu, after joining the Red Sea Demon Sect, there will be many benefits!"

Gu Songying seemed a little anxious seeing how Xu Ning rejected the invitation so firmly.

"Now, our Sect Master, the Red Sea Demon Lord, who is at the limit of the dao realm, is preparing to concentrate on cultivation to break through the limit of the dao realm and become a grandmaster! Just two years ago, he sent a message to the sect. He stated that he will choose a qualified successor for the sect in the next ten years!"

"And this successor of the sect will only appear amongst the seeds!"

Gu Songying showed an excited expression. "In other words, once you become the sect's seed, you are likely to become the leader of State Wansheng's top sect, the Red Sea Demon Sect!"

When Gu Songying said this, he was very excited, as if he was the one holding the seed token, not Xu Ning. "Oh?"

Xu Ning was a little surprised at Gu Songying's words.

The top sect in State Wansheng was actually about to change its leader.

Moreover, with the black bead, he had the qualifications to compete for this position.

This surprised Xu Ning.

"Brother Xu, join the Red Sea Demon Sect!"

Gu Songying's eyes were full of eagerness.

The reason why Gu Songying was so eager was because he felt that this might be an extremely rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.

He was fully aware of Xu Ning's strength and aptitude.

It was rare to see a dao realm master in the core cleansing realm who could defeat a dao realm master who had mastered an origin technique.

And he happened to have a seed certificate.

Gu Songying believed that with Xu Ning's foundation, if he could join the Red Sea Demon Sect, he would definitely be able to grow rapidly in ten years after receiving a lot of resources.

By then, Xu Ning would really have the qualifications to compete with those veteran seeds for the position of sect master of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

Although this probability was less than 10%, once he succeeded, as Xu Ning's first follower in the Red Sea Demon Sect, Gu Songying would definitely gain a lot.

Moreover, even if Xu Ning couldn't become the sect master, he had a 50% chance of becoming a sect elder.

Even with just this result, he would also become the trusted aide of an elder of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

Gu Songying knew very well that with his aptitude, his martial arts path was almost at its end.

The probability of breaking through to the high level dao realm was almost nil.

Therefore, his status in the Red Sea Demon Sect could only be fixed as an external sect deacon, making it difficult to advance further.

Only by following Xu Ning and seizing the opportunity in front of him could he continue to realize the possibility of his status leap.

"Brother Gu…"

Xu Ning pondered for a longer time.

"In State Guqing, I am not only the sect master of a sect, but I am also a first-class guest of Harmony King Mansion. With my complicated identity, it is not appropriate to enter the Red Sea Demon Sect, right?"

Xu Ning was still not interested in Gu Songying's advice.

Gu Songying seemed a little anxious. "Why

not?"

"Brother Xu, you don't know, but there are some people in the Duan royal family who have the status of a disciple in the Red Sea Demon Sect. The current princes and princesses are all in the Red Sea Demon Sect." "Huh?"

Xu Ning was a little surprised. "There are disciples of the Duan royal family in the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

It was rumored that the Duan royal family had a relatively close relationship with the Red Sea Demon Sect, but Xu Ning didn't expect them to be this close. "Yes!"

Gu Songying quickly nodded. "Moreover, the current Third Prince and Eighth Princess both have seed tokens of the Red Sea Demon Sect, and they have the status of seeds!"

"Is that so…"

This tempted Xu Ning.

If even people from the Duan royal family, princes and princesses, were willing to join the Red Sea Demon Sect.

This meant that the benefits brought to them by the Red Sea Demon Sect were no less than the benefits brought to them by their imperial status. "What do you think, Brother Xu?"

Gu Songying asked again eagerly.

"I'll decide later."

Xu Ning did not immediately make a decision. "I have to return to State Guqing and discuss this with the Harmony Prince."

Gu Songying's explanation tempted Xu Ning.

But before that, Xu Ning still felt that he should visit Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng was a member of the Duan royal family, so he should definitely know more about the Red Sea Demon Sect than him.

This…"

Gu Songying knew that he couldn't persuade Xu Ning anymore.

Otherwise, if he was too hasty, it might be counterproductive. "Okay."

Gu Songying said, "In this case, after you make the decision, you can immediately come and tell me. I will personally take you to the Red Sea Demon Sect."

"Okay."

Xu Ning responded.

This made Gu Songying a little happy.

His previous kindness and persuasion worked.

"I have been sent to State Fengling by the sect. If you make the decision, you can tell me at any time."

Afterwards, Gu Songying gave Xu Ning his address.

ICO

After Xu Ning asked Gu Songying for more details, the two ended the conversation and began to return to the Source Sect together. "Ding Bo, let's go!" After Gu Songying returned to the Source Sect, he called out Ding Bo.

Ding Bo quickly went behind Gu Songying.

"Brother Xu, I'll leave first. I'll be waiting for your news."

Gu Songying took the initiative to bow to Xu

Ning.

This stunned Ding Bo, Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, He Mingye, and Si Ying.

Just an hour ago, when Gu Songying came with Ding Bo, he was still full of hostility.

But after the exchange, he became so humble, causing the people present to not be able to react properly. "Cousin…" Ding Bo looked at Gu Songying suspiciously. But Gu Songying gave him a threatening look.

Seeing this, Ding Bo panicked and bowed to Xu Ning as well.

Afterwards, Gu Songying left with Ding Bo.

"Xu Ning, what is going on?"

As soon as Gu Songying left with Ding Bo, Xin Andao quickly leaned forward.

"Nothing…"

Xu Ning just smiled and didn't answer.

It was better not to spread this news for the time being

When Xin Andao and the others saw that Xu Ning did not answer directly, they knew that it was inconvenient for him to respond, so they stopped asking

Afterwards, the group returned to the Source Sect.

On the other side, Ding Bo finally couldn't help but ask his cousin Gu Songying.

"Cousin, aren't you being too polite to Xu Ning?"

Ding Bo was a little dissatisfied. "Even if he is slightly better than you, you don't have to act like this… You are a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect…"

"What do you know?!"

Gu Songying said coldly, "Xu Ning is not as simple as you think!"

"My status in the sect is difficult to improve any further, and Xu Ning is the only person who can change my situation!"

After Gu Songying finished speaking, Ding Bo was stunned.

"Cousin, what do you mean?"

Ding Bo asked.

Gu Songying sneered. "You don't have to know so much right now. You just have to remember to be more polite to the Source Sect in the future. If the Source Sect needs any help, you have to help! We have to win Xu Ning's favor."

"Yes…"

Although he felt aggrieved, Ding Bo reluctantly agreed.

Report chapter

Chapter 286 New Harmony King Duan Chaofeng?

Xu Ning, He Mingye, and Si Ying stayed in the Source Sect for half a month.

During this period of time, Ding Bo visited the Source Sect alone again.

He found Xin Andao and showed kindness to him.

Xin Andao knew very well that Ding Bo must have done this because of Xu Ning.

Thinking of this, Xin Andao was grateful to Xu Ning

Xu Ning's arrival not only reversed the crisis of the Source Sect, but also helped the Source Sect achieve a stable state of development for a long time.

Half a month later, Xu Ning and the other two chose to leave.

Their original purpose of coming here was to see the situation of their old friends in the Abyss North. And now that everything was safe, there was no need to stay here any longer. Afterwards, the three of them returned to the Swallow Heron Sect.

This time, He Mingye and Si Ying were officially prospective elders of the Swallow Heron Sect.

After staying at the Swallow Heron Sect for a few days, Xu Ning set off to the Harmony King Mansion.

This trip was because after returning from abroad, Xu Ning had promised Duan Chaofeng that after arranging the affairs of the sect, he would go to the Harmony King Mansion.

Harmony King Mansion.

"Xu Ning, you're finally here!"

Xu Ning arrived at the Harmony King Mansion, and Zhang He greeted him.

Zhang He was sincerely happy to see Xu Ning.

The previous trip abroad had made Zhang He and Xu Ning very close.

"Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a while, but your cultivation has improved again…"

Xu Ning smiled.

Zhang He laughed. "I have indeed improved a little."

"After experiencing a life-and-death crisis overseas, I have gained a new understanding of martial arts cultivation. After more than a month of seclusion, I feel that I am now one step closer to the barrier of the seventh stage of the dao realm. The breakthrough that I expected to take decades to achieve is now possible in less than three years."

Zhang He was a little proud when he said this.

Although Zhang He knew that his talent was incomparable to Xu Ning's, he was already satisfied with this speed of improvement.

"Congratulations in advance, Brother Zhang."

Xu Ning was happy for Zhang He. "Come, I'll take you to see His Highness." As Zhang He led the way for Xu Ning, he said, "By the way, Master Dong Ji went out to the sea again to capture that Night Beast."

"But this time, in addition to Senior Dong Ji, three more high level dao realm masters and a large number of elite masters, all of whom are the capable generals of His Majesty, will be following the convoy. One of the high level dao realm master is Zhuo Weisong's father, Zhuo Cengyun."

Zhuo Weisong, one of Duan Chaofeng's trusted aides, had a feud with Xu Ning.

The last time he went out to sea, because of the Night Beast, he couldn't return. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.

'So the subordinates of the Harmony King are personally taking action this time…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

The temptation of an apex demon beast was quite high.

"By the way, Xu Ning, there is one more thing I have to tell you in advance…"

This time, Zhang He sent a voice transmission to Xu Ning.

"What is it?"

Xu Ning realized that Zhang He might want to tell him some secrets.

"His Majesty may be preparing to pass the throne to His Highness."

Zhang He's simple words shocked Xu Ning.

If what Zhang He said was true, it meant that Duan Chaofeng was about to become the new Harmony King. "Around when?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Probably within the next month or two."

Zhang He responded, "Now that His Majesty has reached the peak of dao realm eighth stage, he is ready to break through to dao realm ninth stage at any time. After passing the throne to his heir, His Majesty may go to the imperial capital and attempt to break through in the forbidden land of the Duan royal family."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning revealed a pondering look.

He and Zhang He looked at each other. Both sides could see the other's intentions, and they both smiled faintly.

The two knew very well that the two of them were the people Duan Chaofeng valued the most.

Once Duan Chaofeng succeeded as the Harmony King, their status would also rise. At that time, they would be famous big shots in State Guqing.

Moreover, the family behind Zhang He and the Swallow Heron Sect behind Xu Ning would benefit greatly.

"Just keep this in mind, don't mention it to anyone else."

Zhang He reminded.

Only a few people knew about this.

Zhang He took the initiative to tell Xu Ning because of his relationship with Xu Ning, and because of Xu Ning's current status in Duan Chaofeng's heart.

"Understood, Brother Zhang."

Xu Ning responded

Afterwards, Zhang He brought Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng's study.

After seeing Duan Chaofeng again, Xu Ning noticed that Duan Chaofeng had advanced from the core cleansing realm to the core transformation realm, and his temperament had changed a little.

This change was not caused by a promotion in strength alone. Xu Ning guessed that it might also have a lot to do with his impending succession to the throne.

"Congratulations Your Highness on advancing to the core transformation realm."

After Xu Ning saw Duan Chaofeng, he took the initiative to congratulate him.

"Xu Ning, you are here!"

After seeing Xu Ning, Duan Chaofeng smiled.

"Everyone leave."

There were a few beautiful maids serving Duan Chaofeng, but when he saw Xu Ning, he chased all of them away.

"How is the development of the Swallow Heron Sect?"

Duan Chaofeng asked Xu Ning.

"It's all thanks to Your Highness. With the help of the prestige of the Harmony King Mansion, the Swallow Heron Sect has become stronger than before. Except for the fact that the strength of the mid-level disciples in the sect is still a little lacking, they have developed well in other aspects."

Xu Ning said, "Especially with the help of the martial arts resource trading channels opened by the Harmony King Mansion, the current Swallow Heron Sect is basically self-sufficient."

"That's good."

Duan Chaofeng nodded in satisfaction.

"Just a month ago, Mo Lan sent someone to the mansion."

Duan Chaofeng paused for a moment and continued, "She not only thanked us, but she also brought a lot of gifts."

"Oh?!

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Duan Chaofeng's relationship with Mo Lan was not good, but when they went out to sea, the two sides had gone through the same danger, so the conflict between the two sides was reduced.

Mo Lan had sent people here obviously to show her goodwill.

"Mo Lan wanted to thank you personally."

Duan Chaofeng said, "This gift is specially prepared for you."

Duan Chaofeng took out a storage ring.

"Although there are some indirect old grudges between the Swallow Heron Sect and Mo Lan, it's a waste not to take what she gave."

Duan Chaofeng threw the storage ring to Xu Ning. Xu Ning took it and looked at it. He found that this storage ring was very exquisite.

It was obviously a practical object, but with the beautiful patterns on the ring, it looked like a piece of art.

Xu Ning didn't hide from Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He. He just openly explored the storage

ring.

'What a large space!'

This was Xu Ning's first thought.

The space in this storage ring was one-third of the size of the Hidden Moon Bead.

The value of this storage ring alone was extremely high.

After all, not everyone had a spatial treasure.

Xu Ning could give this spatial ring to Cheng Zengtao and the others. By doing this, it would be much easier to store the resources of the sect.

'These resources…'

After admiring the large space in the storage ring, Xu Ning saw an abundance of resources inside.

Inside this storage ring, there were medicinal pills, spirit herbs, dao weapons, and some special artifacts.

With these treasures, he could build quite a large sect on the spot.

'The energy value of the medicinal pills and spirit herbs present should exceed 7 million…'

Xu Ning estimated.

Xu Ning now had 1 million units of energy remaining. Combined with these 7 million units, he had more than 8 million units of energy, which was more than half the energy required to advance to the core transformation realm.

"Princess Mo Lan is quite generous…"

Xu Ning smiled and put away the storage ring.

"Mo Lan is obviously showing you kindness."

Duan Chaofeng smiled and said, "When Mo Lan saw your strength and potential overseas, she had already decided to show kindness to you. She is not stupid, she can definitely see that your future limit is high. She may not want to rope you in, but she definitely has the intention to resolve the feud between the two of you."

Xu Ning had already noticed what Duan Chaofeng said.

"However, whether you want to ease the relationship with her is up to you. I will definitely not interfere."

Duan Chaofeng said, "Also, after Mo Lan returned to the Promise King Mansion, the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect were forcibly disbanded. The main reason for this is definitely because Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang have been killed, but you might also be a factor."

Xu Ning did not answer.

However, it might be like what Duan Chaofeng said. Forcefully disbanding the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect would completely eliminate the enemies of the Swallow Heron Sect. She was obviously showing her attitude towards Xu Ning by doing this.

"One more thing…"

Duan Chaofeng's eyes were deep. "Did Zhang He mention that to you?"

Xu Ning immediately understood what he meant.

What Duan Chaofeng was referring to was definitely the fact that he was about to inherit the throne of the Harmony King.

"Yes…"

Xu Ning nodded.

"After I succeed the Harmony King, I will definitely put you and Zhang He in an important position."

Duan Chaofeng said straightforwardly, "When the time comes, you may have to frequently travel between the Harmony King Mansion and the Swallow Heron Sect. I hope you can be prepared."

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded.

"Your Highness."

After the exchange, Xu Ning took the initiative to speak.

He wanted to talk to Duan Chaofeng about the Red Sea Demon Sect.

"Your Highness, do you know about the seeds of the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I do."

Duan Chaofeng had also heard about this. "The seeds of the Red Sea Demon Sect are the core of their sect. Apparently, they are all top disciples who are qualified to compete for the position of sect master. Legend has it that the strongest seeds have the strength of a dao realm ninth stage master."

"The Red Sea Demon Sect has tens of thousands of disciples but only a little more than a hundred seed disciples. None of them can be underestimated. Even the current Third Prince and Eighth Princess have the status of seeds in the Red Sea Demon Sect."

"Why do you ask this?"

Duan Chaofeng was a little curious.

"Your Highness, I happen to have a seed token of the Red Sea Demon Sect in my hand. If I want to, I can join the Red Sea Demon Sect at any time and obtain the seed status."

Xu Ning said. "What!?"

Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He's expressions changed.

Even Duan Chaofeng himself was not qualified to become a core disciple of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

Even if he joined the Red Sea Demon Sect, he would at most be an elite disciple, and that would even have to rely on his status.

"How did you get a seed token of the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

Duan Chaofeng quickly asked.

Beside him, Zhang He also looked over with an interested expression.

Faced with Duan Chaofeng's questions, Xu Ning told him the process of obtaining the seed token.

He then added that Gu Songying had invited him.

"This…"

After Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He heard this, their expressions were both very interesting.

They didn't expect Xu Ning to have such a hidden identity.

Duan Chaofeng felt that he had already overestimated Xu Ning's capabilities, but Xu Ning was still underestimated by him.

"I knew you were a master alchemist, but I didn't expect your dao realm alchemy technique to be the Red Sea Pill Sutra…"

Duan Chaofeng still had a tone of shock. He obviously hadn't recovered yet.

Duan Chaofeng's perception of Xu Ning changed again. If Xu Ning really became a seed of the Red Sea Demon Sect, then his status in State Wansheng would not be weaker than his.

"Your Highness, do you think I need to obtain the status of a seed?"

Xu Ning asked Duan Chaofeng.

With Duan Chaofeng's status and knowledge, he must have a deeper understanding of the Red Sea Demon Sect, and he must also know the pros and cons of obtaining a seed status.

"Yes! Of course!".

Duan Chaofeng's outburst far exceeded Xu Ning's expectations.

Duan Chaofeng seemed a little excited. "You must obtain the status of a seed, it will be extremely beneficial to you!"

Duan Chaofeng broke away from his shock. He then realized the practical benefits of Xu Ning becoming a seed of the Red Sea Demon Sect. Once Xu Ning obtained this identity, Duan Chaofeng would also benefit.

With a good friend as a seed, his status in the Duan royal family would also greatly improve.

Moreover, Duan Chaofeng had high expectations of Xu Ning. As the Harmony Prince, Duan Chaofeng had seen too many talented people since he was

born.

But Xu Ning's potential was still far above them all.

In Duan Chaofeng's opinion, if Xu Ning was allowed to continue to grow, he might really touch the helm of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

Even if he couldn't, he would definitely be promoted to an elder.

"Forget about the various resources in the Red Sea Demon Sect, just the identity itself will benefit you greatly."

Duan Chaofeng said, "Xu Ning, do you know the origin of the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

"I don't know."

Xu Ning shook his head.

"The Red Sea Demon Sect was established eight hundred years ago…"

Duan Chaofeng said, "Eight hundred years is indeed a long time. This time frame has already exceeded the lifespan of most dao realm masters. However, for those large sects that have been passed down for a long time, this is nothing. In State Wansheng, there are large sects that have been passed down for more than a thousand years."

"But why did the rising Red Sea Demon Sect surpass those old sects and become the strongest force outside the Duan royal family?"

Duan Chaofeng paused. "One of the important reasons is that the Red Sea Demon Sect's leader, the Red Sea Demon Lord, is a member of the Duan royal family!"

Report chapter

Chapter 287 Third Young Master, Zhuo Cenyun

"The Red Sea Demon Lord is a member of the Duan royal family?"

Not only Xu Ning, but even Zhang He's eyes widened. This was obviously the first time he had heard of this.

"That's right."

Duan Chaofeng said, "The Red Sea Demon Lord and the current Grandmaster of the Duan royal family are brothers of the same father and mother."

Duan Chaofeng threw out another huge secret.

Xu Ning and Zhang He naturally knew about the Grandmaster in the imperial capital.

He was the reason why the Duan royal family could rule over State Wansheng for so many years and still stand strong. The Duan royal family even became stronger and stronger, especially in the past thousand years. Additionally, they possessed the momentum to go abroad and explore the wider sea.

The reason for all of this was all because of that Grandmaster guarding them.

The Grandmaster was in a realm above the dao realm.

In State Wansheng, only the Duan royal family had such strength.

And Red Sea Demon Lord was actually the brother of the Duan royal family's Grandmaster.

Xu Ning finally understood why the Red Sea Demon Sect had such a close relationship with the Duan royal family.

Even the princes and princesses of the royal family joined in.

"I see…"

Xu Ning and Zhang He were still a little shocked.

"I heard my father mention this by coincidence a few years ago." Duan Chaofeng continued. "It is said that when the Grandmaster and the Red Sea Demon Lord were children, the difference between their aptitudes was huge. The Grandmaster's martial arts aptitude was outstanding. He could learn any complicated martial arts at once, and even when he was just a teenager, he could create extremely powerful techniques, so much so that the current royal family is still learning and using them."

"As for Red Sea Demon Lord, his aptitude is average. Not only is he not comparable to his siblings, but he also has a lot of resources invested in him, and yet he was only comparable to the disciples of ordinary sects. However, because the Grandmaster is his brother, no one dares to insult him."

"It's just that the Red Sea Demon Lord, who had always felt protected by his brother, was very sensitive to this. The more brilliant his brother was, the more mediocre he seemed. Therefore, the Red Sea Demon Lord took the initiative to leave the imperial capital and lead a group of loyal subordinates to study the demonic path."

"At that time, Red Sea Demon Lord knew very well that with his own aptitude, he might only be able to stop at the starting levels of the dao realm, so he could only use demonic methods to make some unconventional high-risk attempts."

"In the end, after thousands of tempering and countless twists and turns, the Red Sea Demon Lord finally found his own path and his strength improved greatly. Moreover, he also created a dao realm alchemy technique suitable for himself, the Red Sea Pill Sutra. Afterwards, in order to prevent his creation from losing itself to time, the Red Sea Demon Sect was established."

"With the support of the Duan royal family, the Red Sea Demon Sect developed rapidly. In just a few hundred years, it surpassed those sects with a history of more than a thousand years and became a top sect in State Wansheng."

When Duan Chaofeng explained to Xu Ning and Zhang He, he was a little excited.

The experience of the Red Sea Demon Lord was explained in a few words, but the magnificent scene still made Duan Chaofeng feel admiration for the figure.

"So, Xu Ning, joining the Red Sea Demon Sect is the right choice."

Duan Chaofeng said, "As a big sect supported by the Duan royal family, you don't have to worry about anything if you join them. Moreover, as a non-royal, this is the best way for you to reach the peak of State Wansheng."

"When you become a seed of the Red Sea Demon Sect, we can support each other. I can use the resources of the Harmony King Mansion to help you compete for a high position in the sect, and you can also help me in turn, allowing my status in the Duan royal family to improve."

Duan Chaofeng did not hide his intentions at all.

He also knew that his relationship with Xu Ning did not need to be exaggerated.

"Mmm…"

After Xu Ning heard this, he began to think.

After understanding the background of the Red Sea Demon Sect, Xu Ning was very tempted.

Joining the Red Sea Demon Sect was indeed like Duan Chaofeng said. It was the best way to become a top presence in State Wansheng.

Xu Ning knew very well that his martial arts path could only be smoother and more efficient when he was on a larger stage.

"Then when should I join the Red Sea Demon Sect?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Wait until I inherit the position of the Harmony King."

Duan Chaofeng measured the risk and said.

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded.

The matter of him joining the Red Sea Demon Sect and becoming a seed disciple was finalized.

"Enough."

After briefly discussing some details, Duan Chaofeng said, "Zhang He, take Xu Ning to his residence. Xu Ning will stay in the mansion for the next few months."

"Let's go, Xu Ning."

Zhang He smiled and said, "His Highness has built a villa for you in the mansion."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Ning responded. Xu Ning used to live in an ordinary residence in the Harmony King Mansion, but after his trip abroad, Xu Ning's status in the Harmony King Mansion had greatly improved. Moreover, now that he was about to obtain his seed status, Duan Chaofeng had to treat him as equals.

Zhang He left with Xu Ning.

Inside the room, Duan Chaofeng walked to the window and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was happy.

'I found a treasure!'

Duan Chaofeng waved his fist with an excited expression.

He accepted Xu Ning because he wanted to train a valuable subordinate.

But now it seemed that he might be getting an important helper and friend instead.

Although Duan Chaofeng had a noble status and was the Harmony Prince, his status was not high in the Duan royal family.

Within the Duan royal family, there were some precious resources that needed to be competed for.

If Xu Ning could gain a foothold in the Red Sea Demon Sect, it would also greatly benefit Duan Chaofeng

In fact, if Xu Ning became the leader of the Red Sea Demon Sect, then Duan Chaofeng's gains would be even greater.

Zhang He led Xu Ning into the mansion.

After passing through a garden, he ran into a few people.

The leader of the group was wearing a beautiful shirt and had a refined and noble temperament. His face was similar to Duan Chaofeng.

Several guards followed behind him.

Seeing this person, Zhang He took the lead to stand still.

"Third Young Master."

Zhang He bowed to the person.

"Third Young Master?"

Xu Ning was intrigued.

Hearing Zhang He's greeting, Xu Ning already knew this person's identity. This person was Duan Chaofeng's half-brother, the third son of the Harmony King, Duan Chaoyu.

"Third Young Master."

Xu Ning also nodded as a greeting.

Xu Ning was still not a core disciple of the Red Sea Demon Sect, so there was still a gap between his status and Duan Chaoyu's.

But if Xu Ning had a seed status, he could treat Duan Chaoyu equally. "Master Zhang."

Unexpectedly, Duan Chaoyu was very polite to Zhang He and also nodded to him with a smile.

Zhang He had a position in the Harmony King Mansion, but Duan Chaoyu still called him that because he gave Zhang He a lot of face.

"This is?"

Duan Chaoyu turned his gaze and looked at Xu Ning.

"This is the trusted aide of His Highness, Sect Master Xu Ning of the Swallow Heron Sect."

Zhang He introduced calmly. "So you are Xu Ning?"

After hearing Xu Ning's name, Duan Chaoyu was a little surprised.

"I heard that Second Brother now has a fierce general named Xu Ning under his command. I finally got to see him in person today."

Duan Chaoyu had a happy expression on his face. He was very approachable. No one could tell that he was a young master from the king mansion.

"Young Master is too kind." Xu Ning responded in a humble manner.

When he went out to sea, he had heard some conversations about Duan Chaoyu.

This young master of the king mansion seemed to have a good relationship with Duan Chaofeng, but in fact, the two sides were not on good terms.

"Master Zhang, what are you bringing Xu Ning here for?"

Duan Chaoyu put away his folding fan and stood still, intending to lengthen the conversation.

"Xu Ning will stay in the mansion for a while. I am now taking him to a villa that His Highness has prepared for him."

Zhang He answered truthfully. "I see…"

Duan Chaoyu nodded. "It seems that you are going to stay in the mansion for a while. In this case, if you have the time, let's have a private gathering and have a few drinks."

"Thank you, Young Master."

Xu Ning did not immediately agree.

Xu Ning knew very well that it was best not to have any personal relationship with Duan Chaoyu.

His response was actually a rejection.

It wasn't known if Duan Chaoyu understood Xu Ning's intentions, but he just laughed and stopped talking. After some more small talk, Duan Chaoyu left with the guards behind him.

"So he is the Third Young Master Duan Chaoyu?"

Xu Ning whispered.

At this moment, Zhang He's expression turned cold.

"Although Third Young Master looks friendly on the surface, he is actually very scheming."

Zhang He seemed to be a little hostile to Duan Chaoyu. "If it weren't for the fact that His Highness is the son of the first wife, I really don't know who the heir would be…"

Xu Ning's eyes narrowed after Zhang He finished speaking.

He understood Zhang He's words. To a certain extent, this Duan Chaoyu had threatened Duan Chaofeng's status before.

Zhang He's thoughts might align with Duan Chaofeng's thoughts.

"However, now that the overall situation is set, in one or two months, His Highness will become the Harmony King. By then, Third Young Master will have to move out of the mansion, and it will not affect much."

Zhang He said.

"Mmm…"

Xu Ning nodded.

"Let's go…"

Afterwards, Zhang He took Xu Ning to the villa.

On the other side, Duan Chaoyu, who had a warm smile on his face, suddenly had a gloomy expression after parting with Xu Ning.

The corners of his eyes were full of gloom. He did not have the temperament of a gentleman like when he talked to Xu Ning previously.

"Xu Ning…"

Duan Chaoyu muttered in a cold tone.

"Second Brother is always surrounded by talents…"

Duan Chaoyu said in a self-deprecating manner, "But it makes sense. The status of an heir will naturally attract talents from all over the country. And I am just a bastard son of the king mansion, so I won't receive this kind of treatment."

"Moreover, Father seems to have made a decision recently. Second Brother is going to be the next Harmony King…" Duan Chaoyu pursed his lips. "The status of a legitimate son is indeed beneficial. Even if Second Brother's talents are inferior to mine and his martial arts aptitude is inferior to mine, he can still obtain the position of the heir."

"Forget it… I can't doubt Father's decision."

A deep look appeared in Duan Chaoyu's eyes. "However, there are some things that Father can't predict… The position of heir was given to Second Brother, but he may not be able to sit on the throne for long."

Afterwards, Duan Chaoyu took the guards behind him and went to a luxurious restaurant in the city.

Outside the restaurant, Duan Chaoyu did not let the guards follow him.

He entered one room with familiarity.

"Third Young Master."

There was only one person in the private room.

Although the person looked young, he had gray sideburns and a cold temperament.

"Senior Zhuo." When Duan Chaoyu saw this person, he smiled and cupped his fists.

If Zhang He was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the trusted aide of the current Harmony King, Zhuo Cengyun, a high level dao realm master.

His son was Zhuo Weisong, who had a feud with Xu Ning.

At the same time, Zhang He would definitely be puzzled as to why Zhuo Cengyun would appear here when he was obviously sent to capture the Night Beast. "Senior Zhuo, I met an interesting person just now."

Duan Chaoyu invited Zhou Cengyun to sit down and personally poured him a glass of wine. "Who?"

Zhuo Cengyun raised his eyebrows.

"Xu Ning."

Duan Chaoyu's lips curled up.

"Xu Ning?"

Sure enough, after Zhuo Cengyun heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He safely returned to the mansion from abroad, Zhuo Cengyun felt extremely sad when he learned that his son, Zhuo Weisong, had disappeared abroad.

But because of the existence of the Harmony King, he couldn't find trouble with Duan Chaofeng.

Afterwards, Zhuo Cengyun heard that someone named Xu Ning had survived the trip.

Additionally, Xu Ning had a conflict with Zhuo Weisong before.

After knowing this, Zhuo Cengyun's negative emotions became even stronger.

They were both mid level dao realm masters, so why didn't Zhuo Weisong come back, but Xu Ning, who had a conflict with Zhuo Weisong, came back.

This made Zhuo Cengyun feel aggrieved.

This frustration came from dissatisfaction with Duan Chaofeng and Xu Ning's survival.

Zhuo Cengyun's mental state had already been unstable, but it just so happened that Harmony King gave an order for him and three other high level dao realm masters to go out to the sea to capture the Night Beast. This made Zhuo Cengyun, who still had a glimmer of hope for his son's survival, temporarily put aside this dissatisfaction and prepare to go out to the sea to find traces of Zhuo Weisong.

However, just when he was about to go out to sea, he was suddenly interrupted by a sentence from Duan Chaoyu.

Because of this, not long after Zhuo Cengyun went out to sea, he seized an opportunity and pretended to disappear into the deep sea before returning secretly.

What Duan Chaoyu told Zhuo Cengyun was concerning the ownership of the new Harmony King position.

Duan Chaoyu told him that the person who would inherit the position of the Harmony King would not be Duan Chaofeng, but him.

And this was because he had secretly received the support of a sect.

Report chapter

Chapter 288 Secret Force Hidden Sect

Duan Chaoyu was supported by a secret force, and the news that he might inherit the position of the Harmony King tempted Zhuo Cengyun.

Zhuo Cengyun was the trusted aide of the current Harmony King, but his relationship with Prince Duan Chaofeng was ordinary to begin with, and now there was even more of a barrier between the two of them because of Zhuo Weisong Zhuo Cengyun knew very well that once Duan Chaofeng became the Harmony King, he, as an old confidant, would gradually disappear from the core force of the king mansion.

At that time, his influence in State Guqing would decrease, and the family behind him would enjoy less benefits and resources.

Zhuo Cengyun had been anxious about this. In contrast, Zhuo Cengyun and Duan Chaoyu had a good relationship.

When Duan Chaoyu first stepped into martial arts, Zhuo Cengyun had taught him martial arts for more than a decade, so the two had a deep relationship.

If it weren't for Duan Chaofeng's status as the heir, Zhuo Cengyun wouldn't have sent his son, Zhuo Weisong, to Duan Chaofeng's side.

It was because of this relationship between Zhuo Cengyun and Duan Chaoyu that he chose to return secretly to see Duan Chaoyu after receiving the sensitive news from him.

Compared to Zhuo Weisong, this was obviously more important to Zhuo Cengyun.

It was just that Zhuo Cengyun still didn't know which sect Duan Chaoyu had received support from.

However, after seeing how confident Duan Chaoyu was, Zhuo Cengyun had no other doubts.

"Xu Ning had a conflict with Zhuo Weisong. Maybe Zhuo Weisong's death is related to him."

Duan Chaoyu continued to talk about Xu Ning, his words full of provocation.

"Unfortunately, Xu Ning is an important confidant of my second brother. Although Senior Zhuo is a high level dao realm master, it is difficult to deal with Xu Ning."

Duan Chaoyu smiled playfully.

"Third Young Master."

Zhuo Chengyun became even more gloomy. He didn't continue this topic, instead he said tentatively, "You asked me to come back this time…"

"Yes, I called you back this time to ask you to help me become the Harmony King."

Duan Chaoyu answered straightforwardly.

Zhuo Cengyun's pupils shrank.

Although this was what Duan Chaoyu sent as news before, when he said it with his own mouth, Zhuo Cengyun was a little shocked.

In the Duan royal family, an heir not inheriting the throne was not an impossible matter, but the probability of this succeeding was extremely low.

"What can I do for Third Young Master?"

Zhuo Cengyun asked.

He was actually trying to find out Duan Chaoyu's background and which sect he was supported by. If Duan Chaoyu's trump card was strong enough, Zhuo Cengyun would definitely join Duan Chaoyu's camp and continue to consolidate his future status in the mansion.

Being asked by Duan Chaoyu like this, Duan Chaoyu revealed a piece of information with deep meaning

He did not directly respond to Zhuo Cengyun's words, instead he asked, "Senior Zhuo, do you think I can trust you?"

After Duan Chaoyu asked this, Zhuo Cengyun was taken aback.

Zhuo Cengyun realized that he seemed to have been too anxious.

Ever since he saw Duan Chaoyu, he had not expressed his alliance towards him, but he was already asking about Duan Chaoyu's secrets.

This was inappropriate.

"My apologies, Third Young Master, I was too rude."

Zhuo Cengyun hurriedly said.

He didn't want Duan Chaoyu to misunderstand him.

"I am willing to do anything for Third Young Master."

Zhuo Cengyun expressed his attitude.

In Zhuo Cengyun's opinion, Duan Chaoyu must have a lot of confidence to be so calm. After thinking about how the mother of the Third Young Master was also the daughter of a sect master, Zhuo Cengyun subconsciously believed that Duan Chaoyu was supported by the alliance of some large sects.

Under special circumstances, this kind of alliance could indeed play a decisive role in various kinds of strife.

This was because this kind of alliance had very complicated relationships with various sides, so they would certainly be of great help in certain aspects.

"Okay."

Duan Chaoyu was waiting for Zhuo Cengyun's response.

"Senior Zhuo, if I sacrifice some of the elites and resources of the current mansion when I am seeking the position of the Harmony King, what do you think of this?"

Duan Chaoyu asked. "As long as Third Young Master can inherit the position of the Harmony King, then some sacrifices are completely worth it."

Zhuo Cengyun responded.

Zhuo Cengyun's attitude was in fact a little out of line, because Zhuo Cengyun was a person trusted by the Harmony King. Sacrificing the people and resources of the king mansion to satisfy Duan Chaoyu's selfish desires was hurting the Harmony King's own interests.

As a close confidant, Zhuo Cengyun's action was actually an act of betrayal to the Harmony

King.

Duan Chaoyu did not react much to Zhuo Cengyun's response.

He continued to ask, "If I want to kill my second brother to obtain the position of the Harmony King, will you support me?" "Huh?"

This time, Zhuo Cengyun did not answer directly. This question was too harsh and tricky.

If he said that he was supportive, then he was officially betraying the Harmony King.

This was a provocation to the Duan royal family.

If other people heard this, Zhuo Cengyun would be in huge trouble.

The Harmony King would even take the initiative to kill him.

However, after hesitating for a while, Zhuo Cengyun gave Duan Chaoyu an affirmative answer.

In Zhuo Cengyun's opinion, this question was just a test of his sense of identity.

"I will abide by Third Young Master's wishes." Zhuo Cengyun knew very well that this was the time for him to place his bet.

There was no room for negotiation in this current situation.

Duan Chaoyu's question was too ridiculous.

If he said that he didn't support him, then not only would he be estranged by Duan Chaofeng, but he would also offend Duan Chaoyu.

Since Duan Chaoyu asked this question, it also showed his true attitude.

If he didn't choose to stand on Duan Chaoyu's side, he would inevitably suffer from Duan Chaoyu's revenge.

"Okay!"

Duan Chaoyu laughed when he heard this. This time, his tone was a little smug.

"In this case, I look forward to Senior Zhuo serving me." Duan Chaoyu's attitude made Zhuo Cengyun feel relieved.

At least for now, he was recognized by Duan Chaoyu. "Senior Zhuo."

Duan Chaoyu said, "Didn't you want to know what my backing is? I'll tell you now."

Duan Chaoyu personally poured another glass of wine for Zhuo Cengyun.

Zhuo Cengyun quickly thanked politely, then picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

Duan Chaoyu's expression suddenly became a little strange. "My backing is the Hidden Sect." Hidden Sect!?

Zhuo Cengyun, who was about to pour the wine into his mouth, was shocked, and the wine in his glass spilled onto his clothes.

The Hidden Sect was an overseas sect that the Imperial Court wanted to destroy! It was the current number one enemy of the Imperial Court.

Zhuo Cengyun's mind was blown, and he was stunned.

"I have secretly communicated with the people of the Hidden Sect. This time, after Father leaves State Guqing and goes to the Imperial Capital, we will join forces with the people of the Hidden Sect to deal with my second brother."

Duan Chaoyu's tone was calm, but Zhuo Cengyun was suffocating.

This was completely different from what he had expected.

Zhuo Cengyun suddenly realized that he seemed to have one leg in the mud.

It turned out that Duan Chaoyu's question about killing Duan Chaofeng was not a test, but a real plan.

"Third Young Master."

Zhuo Cengyun quickly got up. "This is a serious matter, so I suggest you take your time. I will take my leave first."

Zhuo Cengyun knew that even if he had to suffer Duan Chaoyu's revenge, he couldn't continue to follow him.

Once this matter was exposed, he would definitely die, even his family would be seriously implicated.

Colluding with a rebel sect was a crime recognized by the Imperial Court. "Senior Zhuo, are you going back on your words?!"

Duan Chaoyu suddenly stood up and raised his voice.

He was no longer friendly to Zhuo Cengyun. His eyes were full of threat.

"Third Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely not reveal this matter."

Zhuo Cengyun was unmoved. "I will leave first."

Zhuo Cengyun was about to push open the door, but Duan Chaoyu sneered.

Just when he was about to walk out of the door, two figures suddenly appeared on both sides of the door, blocking Zhuo Cengyun.

"What?"

Zhuo Cengyun was shocked.

When he was in the room just now, he actually didn't sense that there were two people waiting outside the door.

'These two are both in the seventh stage of the dao realm, the same realm as me!'

Zhuo Cengyun was forced to return into the room.

"Senior Zhuo, once you make a choice, there is no turning back."

Duan Chaoyu threw a gaze at one of them.

The man nodded and took out a transparent ball.

After he activated a wave of dao realm power, sounds and images came from the transparent ball.

The content of these sounds and images was the conversation between Zhuo Cengyun and Duan Chaoyu. "This is… an audio-visual secret treasure?!"

Zhuo Cengyun's face was instantly pale.

The other party had already obtained leverage against him.

If this content was spread, he would really be in a desperate situation and arrive at a dead end.

He turned to Duan Chaoyu, trembling.

He realized that he had been tricked by Duan Chaoyu the moment he stepped into this room.

"Senior Zhuo, you have no way out…"

Duan Chaoyu walked next to Zhuo Cengyun and patted his shoulder. "Take a gamble, follow me."

"I am not a reckless person. I made this decision after careful consideration."

Duan Chaoyu said, "The Hidden Sect is far stronger than you think. The current Hidden Sect has infiltrated various forces in State Wansheng. Even among the Duan royal family, many of them have joined the Hidden Sect."

"Once we seize the position of the Harmony King in the future, these members of the royal family that have joined the Hidden Sect will provide us with great benefits."

"So, Senior Zhuo, don't worry."

Zhuo Cengyun's mouth trembled slightly before finally letting out a sigh.

Report chapter

Chapter 289 Dao Realm Sixth Stage, Void Walk Beast Phantom

Harmony King Mansion.

Xu Ning's villa.

'I have finally gathered the 15 million units of energy needed to advance to the core transformation realm…'

Xu Ning looked happy.

After Xu Ning absorbed 7 million units of energy worth of resources from Mo Lan, Duan Chaofeng sent over another batch of resources worth 10 million units of energy.

According to what Duan Chaofeng said, since Mo Lan had given Xu Ning so many gifts, he definitely could not lose out.

Xu Ning happily accepted it and absorbed all the energy.

Xu Ning's energy reserves had reached 18 million units.

This was enough for Xu Ning to advance to the core transformation realm.

After instructing the servants and guards not to disturb him, Xu Ning began to try to advance.

He opened the Martial Arts Panel and pressed

Consume 15 million units of energy to advance your realm?

Yes / No

"Yes!"

Xu Ning did not hesitate.

Xu Ning had been waiting for a long time to advance to the core transformation realm.

Xu Ning felt the inner core in his body begin to change.

As he advanced to the core transformation realm, his inner core, which had been cleansed sixty times, suddenly emitted a faint white light.

Afterwards, Xu Ning felt the spiritual energy stored in his inner core surging frantically. Soon after, irregular golden lines appeared on the surface of his inner core.

'Core transformation realm…'

After the golden lines appeared, his inner core gradually stabilized.

However, compared to before, Xu Ning's inner core seemed to have experienced more than a few dozen cleansing sessions once again.

This strengthened Xu Ning's foundation much more.

Even with his bare hands, Xu Ning could easily defeat Gu Songying, who had mastered an origin technique. He didn't even need to use the Wind Smoke Gourd and the Cyan Wolf Knife.

The quality of his inner core improved again, but Xu Ning knew that the improvement of the inner core was not the biggest change in the core transformation realm.

The biggest change in the core transformation realm was the irregular golden lines on the surface of the inner core.

These golden lines were the foundation for advancing to the dao realm seventh stage elementary origin realm.

Only with it could a dao realm master try to sense their origin when advancing in the future.

'Core transformation realm, success!'

Xu Ning suddenly stood up, and his temperament changed again.

'After advancing to the core transformation realm, I can practice origin techniques!'

Xu Ning's eyes showed a look of expectation.

Origin techniques were terrifying techniques that involved origin power.

Although a core transformation realm could only learn its form and not its true intent, just imitating its form was still a crushing blow in front of non-origin techniques.

When Xu Ning used his dao realm power to fight against Gu Songying's origin technique, he discovered that they were not on the same level.

Without touching the origin and only relying on dao realm power, it was impossible to defeat a dao realm master who had mastered an origin technique, unless it was someone like Xu Ning, who had extremely strong dao realm power after advancing to core transformation realm.

Even Xu Ning back then could only rely on the Cyan Wolf Knife, which was comparable to a secret treasure, to resist the corrosion of the origin technique. 'If I learn an origin technique now, I will have the qualifications to fight a seventh stage elementary origin realm master.'

Xu Ning thought to himself. 'At that time, even if I face an elementary origin realm master, I won't lose out.'

Xu Ning was quite confident.

Ordinary core transformation realm masters would basically not consider fighting enemies above their level.

This was because the sixth and seventh stages of the dao realm were the watershed between the mid level and the high level of the dao realm.

An elementary origin realm master was an existence that could truly comprehend a trace of origin, while a core transformation realm master could only imitate origin power.

To be able to use an imitated origin power to fight against a true origin power, this kind of top-notch martial arts master was rare in an era.

'If I can obtain another powerful offensive secret treasure, then I might even be able to defeat an elementary origin realm master.'

The higher his realm was, the more Xu Ning realized how beneficial the solid foundation he had laid was to his improvement in strength.

'Now, my Wnd Smoke Gourd, Cyan Wolf Knife, and other supplementary methods will be less and less useful in high level dao realm battles… If I want to obtain more combat power, I have to obtain new combat treasures…'

Xu Ning's strongest support tool, the Wind Smoke Gourd, was given to him by the golden-eyed demon ape when he was abroad. The Wind Smoke Gourd had played a major role in Xu Ning's growth.

It was just that as Xu Ning's strength continued to increase, it was difficult for it to display its effectiveness any longer.

'However, first-rate treasures are rare.' Xu Ning thought to himself.

There was no general classification of treasures.

But according to its power, it was divided into ordinary and first-rate treasures.

Even for a high level dao realm master, first-rate secret treasures were very useful. 'I shouldn't be able to obtain a first-rate secret treasure from Duan Chaofeng for now, because he himself is only using ordinary secret treasures. However, if he inherits the position of the Harmony King and obtains more resources, he should be able to find a first-rate secret treasure for me.'

Xu Ning understood Duan Chaofeng's character.

He valued friendship and benefits.

After recognizing his value, Duan Chaofeng would definitely be willing to spend resources. 'Even if I can't obtain a first-rate treasure from Duan Chaofeng, after joining the Core Sea Demon Sect and becoming a seed disciple, I would definitely have the opportunity to obtain a first-rate treasure…'

Xu Ning was not particularly anxious about this.

"The most important thing now is to learn an origin technique."

Xu Ning was ready to find Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng had previously promised Xu Ning that after Xu Ning advanced to the core transformation realm, he could choose any origin technique from the mansion to practice.

Xu Ning left the villa to find Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng was still in his study.

"Your Highness."

Xu Ning walked in.

"You are here." After seeing Xu Ning come to the study, Duan Chaofeng smiled gently. At this moment, Zhang He was not next to Duan Chaofeng and was probably busy with something else. "What do you need, are you satisfied with the villa?"

Maybe because he was about to inherit the position of the Harmony King, Duan Chaofeng seemed to be in a relaxed state.

"Very satisfied."

Xu Ning responded and explained his intentions for coming here. "Your Highness, I came to you this time to learn an origin technique."

"Learn an origin technique…"

Duan Chaofeng blinked twice, then paused.

"Learn an origin technique?"

Duan Chaofeng's brows scrunched up. "You advanced to the core transformation realm?"

"I just advanced."

Xu Ning replied.

Duan Chaofeng pursed his lips and didn't say anything

Compared to Xu Ning's shocking performance when he advanced to the core materialization realm and the core cleansing realm, Duan Chaofeng now looked much calmer.

He didn't know if he was numb from the shock, if he was used to it, or if he was just pretending to be calm.

"Xu Ning."

Duan Chaofeng was silent for a long time. He then stared at him curiously. "How did you do it?"

Duan Chaofeng asked sincerely. "Of course it was because the conditions were right… and there were also some lucky factors…"

Xu Ning had used this excuse countless times.

"Mmm…"

Duan Chaofeng could not get the answer he wanted, but he was not disappointed. But now Duan Chaofeng was more optimistic about Xu Ning's future. He had only advanced to the core core cleansing realm three months ago, but he had already advanced to the core transformation realm.

As a member of the royal family, Duan Chaofeng had never heard of such cultivation speed. Moreover, Xu Ning's rapid advancement did not weaken his foundation.

On the contrary, Xu Ning had the strength to fight enemies above his level. "Which origin technique are you going to learn?"

Duan Chaofeng asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning seemed to have already thought of an answer. "I'll learn the origin technique you learned."

Xu Ning didn't know much about origin techniques, so it was difficult for him to judge the advantages and disadvantages of origin techniques.

Moreover, as a crown prince, Duan Chaofeng's origin technique would definitely not be bad.

"Are you talking about the Void Walk Beast Phantom I practiced…"

Duan Chaofeng smiled.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom…"

Xu Ning muttered the name of this origin technique. "This Void Walk Beast Phantom does suit you."

Duan Chaofeng said, "Because practicing this origin technique requires the blood of demon beasts. The stronger the demon beast, the stronger the power it can exert."

"Last time, Senior Dong Ji also obtained the blood of the Night Beast during his fight with it. It is currently stored in the treasure vault of the mansion. With the help of the blood of an apex demon beast, the Void Walk Beast Phantom will be more powerful than ordinary origin techniques."

Duan Chaofeng explained, "If you practice this Void Walk Beast Phantom, I will give you a drop of the Night Beast's blood."

"In that case, thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Ning was very satisfied with this Void Walk Beast Phantom.

"Small matter."

Duan Chaofeng smiled. "Come, I will take you to retrieve the memory crystal of the Void Walk Beast Phantom and the blood of the Night Beast."

After that, the two got up, and Duan Chaofeng took Xu Ning to the mansion's treasury.

An hour went by. Xu Ning returned to his villa.

He took out two items.

One was a high-quality memory crystal, while the other was a porcelain bottle containing a drop of the Night Beast's blood.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom…"

Xu Ning activated the memory crystal, and a new combat technique instantly appeared in his mind.

A notification came from the Martial Arts Panel.

Consume 10 million units of energy to learn the Void Walk Beast Phantom?

Yes / No

'10 million units of energy…' Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. This was quite a lot of energy needed.

He only had 3 million units of energy left.

However, Xu Ning did not find this unreasonable.

Origin techniques were different from mortal realm external skills, void realm secret techniques, and dao realm alchemy techniques. It was a technique that involved the origin.

If he learned it, he would finish learning it. There was no further advancement.

In other words, as long as he consumed 10 million units of energy in one go, he would completely master the essence of this origin technique.

If one viewed it in that way, 10 million units of energy was not a loss.

It was just that Xu Ning couldn't learn it yet.

Report chapter

Chapter 290 Void Walk Beast Phantom's Three Abilities

Because he didn't have enough energy, Xu Ning couldn't immediately learn the Void Walk Beast Phantom.

However, Xu Ning did not rest for the next few days.

As Xu Ning stayed in the mansion, many large sects and families nearby learned about Xu Ning.

Originally, Xu Ning's reputation was limited to a small area, but now, almost all of the big forces in State Guqing knew about Xu Ning. Although the news of Duan Chaofeng inheriting the position of the Harmony King was still hidden, many people knew that Xu Ning was the trusted aide of the heir. They all knew that he would inevitably become a powerful figure in State Guqing in the future.

Thus, many people wanted to build a friendship with Xu Ning.

They met with Xu Ning through their acquaintances in the mansion, including Zhang He and other people who knew Xu Ning. They became friends after meeting Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was not annoyed by this. After all, it was beneficial to the Swallow Heron Sect to build up these connections.

During this process, Xu Ning received many gifts from various parties.

In just a month, Xu Ning had absorbed 4 million units of energy. Xu Ning was still three million units away from cultivating the Void Walk Beast Phantom.

Generally speaking, with the passage of time, 3 million units of energy could soon be gathered, but Xu Ning was already a little impatient.

Therefore, he took the initiative to find Zhang He and borrowed a batch of medicinal pills worth 3 million units of energy.

Although Zhang He was a subordinate of Duan Chaofeng, he also had his own family behind him. Moreover, because he was backed by the Harmony King Mansion, he was quite powerful.

He easily took out 3 million units of energy from his family inventory and gave it to Xu Ning

Zhang He only thought that Xu Ning needed these medicinal pills for the development of the Swallow Heron Sect, so he didn't question Xu Ning's intentions.

After gathering 10 million units of energy, Xu Ning began to learn the Void Walk Beast Phantom.

In order to test the power of his moves and not cause too much damage, Xu Ning even found a mountain far away from the mansion and secretly learned the technique.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom…"

The current Xu Ning had gained a deep understanding of this origin technique with the help of the memory crystal. After the practitioner cultivated the Void Walk Beast Phantom, they could activate it and refine demon beast blood.

The higher the quality of the bloodline of the demon beast blood that was refined, the more powerful the Void Walk Beast Phantom would be when unleashed.

Every dao realm master who practiced the Void Walk Beast Phantom could refine the blood of three demon beasts and in turn obtain part of the bloodline power of these three demon beasts.

In Xu Ning's case, he had already chosen which three demon beast blood to refine. The chosen three were the blood of the Night Beast, the blood of the Void Beast, and the blood of the Blood Cyan Wolf.

The Night Beast was an apex demon beast, and Xu Ning had already obtained its blood.

As for the blood of the Void Beast and the blood of the Blood Cyan Wolf, they naturally belonged to Gray and Cyan.

Although they were not apex demon beasts, they were still top-tier demon beasts. The Void Walk Beast Phantom cast by their blood would definitely not be weak.

'Let's get ready to advance!'

Xu Ning activated the Martial Arts Panel and began to operate.

Consume 10 million units of energy to learn Void Walk Beast Phantom?

Yes / No

This time, Xu Ning chose "yes" as he had enough energy.

The next moment, all the knowledge about the Void Walk Beast Phantom poured into Xu Ning's mind.

In just a few breaths, Xu Ning had completely mastered Void Walk Beast Phantom.

'So this is an origin technique!' Xu Ning's eyes gleamed. 'I'm still not an elementary origin realm master, so I can't really comprehend a trace of origin power. For now, I can only simulate the shape of the origin power through the power of the dao realm and activate my origin technique.' Xu Ning now had a deeper understanding. 'Next, I have to refine the blood.'

Afterwards, Xu Ning took out three porcelain bottles, each containing one drop of blood.

The blood of the Night Beast was newly obtained, while Xu Ning had already stored Gray and Cyan's blood before this.

'I'll refine the blood of the Void Beast first…!

Xu Ning took out Gray's blood and activated the Void Walk Beast Phantom.

Whoosh!

The blood in Xu Ning's hand instantly evaporated as he circulated Void Walk Beast Phantom.

The operation and circulation of the bloodline power was completely recorded by Xu Ning. So that's how it works…'

Xu Ning had a look of understanding in his eyes.

'After recording the operation method of the bloodline power, I can replicate it to a certain extent through the Void Walk Beast Phantom!'

After refining the Void Beast's blood, Xu Ning did not immediately absorb the other two drops of blood.

He arrived at the top of a mountain and looked down at his surroundings. "Void Walk Beast Phantom!"

Xu Ning shouted and activated his origin technique.

Roar!

Instantly, a clear phantom appeared behind Xu Ning. The phantom was a fierce roaring Void Beast.

When the roar rang out, Xu Ning suddenly felt an instinctive feeling guiding him. Xu Ning's dao realm power immediately began to imitate the origin power through the method of his origin technique.

The space in front of him suddenly began to twist as he moved his consciousness.

Bang!

The giant rocks in front of Xu Ning instantly turned into powder.

"The power of void distortion!'

Xu Ning had seen Gray use this ability before.

This was Gray's ability after activating its bloodline power.

But now, as a human dao realm master, he could actually use it.

'Moreover, the power I displayed is stronger than what had displayed Gray… I wonder how Gray will react…'

Xu Ning felt a little amused.

However, Xu Ning also knew very well that the reason why the void technique he performed just now was stronger than Gray's was because his realm was higher, and that it was activated by an imitation of his origin power.

If Gray also comprehended origin power and was in the same realm as him, then the power of this technique it would display would definitely be stronger than his.

Moreover, Gray's void power could not only perform Void Distortion. Once its realm was high, it could also perform Void Teleportation and other abilities without any restraints.

Xu Ning, who had mastered Void Walk Beast Phantom, could only use one kind of void power which was Void Distortion.

It should be known that the demon beast ability imitated by the Void Walk Beast Phantom was randomly selected.

'Let's see what the other two bloodlines can bring me…' Xu Ning couldn't wait to refine the blood of the Blood Cyan Wolf and the Night Beast.

Roar!

Xu Ning began the test again. This time, the phantom of the Blood Cyan Wolf appeared behind him.

The blood-colored transparent wolf head condensed in front of Xu Ning. With a terrifying murderous aura, it opened its bloody mouth and instantly bit down.

Another rock was torn into pieces. Judging from the visual impact, the lethality of the Wolf Fangs was not comparable to the void distortion.

But Xu Ning knew that in actual combat, the Wolf Fangs imitated by the Void Walk Beast Phantom would be greater.

It was because this move contained a very dense and terrifying murderous aura.

In actual combat, it would greatly affect the opponent's mental state.

Those with weak wills might lose their will to fight after sensing this aura.

Even a person with a strong will would be negatively affected.

"Lastly, let's test the Night Beast's ability."

However, before using it this time, Xu Ning first grabbed a mid level dao realm demon beast.

This was because the Night Beast's ability he received was only effective against sentient creatures, as it was not a direct physical attack, but a mental attack.

Void Walk Beast Phantom.

Xu Ning faced the trembling mid level dao realm demon beast in front of him and activated the Night Beast's ability.

The mid level dao realm demon beast captured by Xu Ning had no resistance to begin with.

After the giant bug-like apparition of the night beast appeared, the mid level dao realm demon beast felt its vision go dark, and it quickly lost all its perception. "This is the ability of the Night Beast to block perception, Night Weaver!"

Xu Ning looked at the puppet-like demon beast in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.

'If I use this ability in actual combat, with my foundation, I can isolate the perception of a dao realm master and instantly kill them…'

Xu Ning felt that this ability was a little like an upgraded version of the Wind Smoke Gourd.

The isolation ability of the Wind Smoke Gourd inhibited the trapped person to sense their surroundings.

As for Night Weaver's ability, it would directly devour the victim with darkness, making it a much greater threat. 'No wonder Duan Chaofeng chose this origin technique to practice…'

Xu Ning thought to himself. This Void Walk Beast Phantom has very diverse methods. Its killing power may be top-notch among all origin techniques, but it is more difficult to practice.'

Although Xu Ning cultivated it by using energy units, after cultivating it, he could also sense the difficulty of practicing this technique. In Xu Ning's opinion, based on Duan Chaofeng's martial arts talent, after cultivating diligently for thirty years, there might be a small chance of him successfully cultivating it, allowing him to display a certain bloodline

ability.

If Duan Chaofeng wanted to be like him, with this kind of proficiency and mastering three abilities, Duan Chaofeng might have to spend more than sixty years to do so.

"You can go…"

Xu Ning had already put away the Void Walk Beast Phantom, and the mid level dao realm demon beast in front of him also woke up from the endless darkness.

After hearing that Xu Ning had let it go, the dao realm demon beast instantly fled.

It was originally the overlord of this demon beast mountain range, but after being experimented on by Xu Ning, it was completely frightened and fled out of the mountains.

'Now I'm just missing a first-rate treasure!'

Xu Ning knew very well that he could now fight or even defeat an elementary origin realm master.

And if he could obtain another first-rate treasure, not many elementary origin realm masters would be his opponent.

'Martial Arts Panel.'

Xu Ning opened his Martial Arts Panel again.

Name: Xu Ning

Realm: Dao Realm Sixth Stage: Core Transformation Realm

Martial Arts:

Void Walk Beast Phantom

Core Sea Pill Sutra (Fourth Level)

Available Energy: 0 units

'Next, I will advance the Core Sea Pill Sutra first.'

Xu Ning pondered over in his heart.

After testing the Void Walk Beast Phantom once more, Xu Ning left the mountains and rushed back to the Harmony King Mansion.

Chapter 291 First-Rate Secret Treasure

Harmony King Mansion.

Inside the Harmony King's study.

Harmony King Duan Yunyi gathered the five young masters, including Duan Chaofeng and Duan Chaoyu.

"Father."

After arriving at the study of the Harmony King, they saluted Duan Yunyi at the same time.

Duan Yunyi was dressed in white. He looked middle-aged, had a squarish face, and possessed a terrifying temperament.

He kept looking at his five sons.

Among them, his gaze on Duan Chaofeng and Duan Chaoyu stayed the longest.

"You all should have heard some news recently, right? You should be able to guess why I gathered you here…"

Duan Yunyi's voice was deep. When Duan Chaofeng, Duan Chaoyu, and the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but no one responded.

They all knew very well that the matter Duan Yunyi was talking about was that he was about to step down from his position as the Harmony King.

Except for Duan Chaofeng, who was told about this by Duan Yunyi in person.

The rest of the people knew about this from an outside source.

Seeing that no one spoke, Duan Yunyi was not angry. His eyes were calm.

"Now that I have reached the limit of the eighth stage of dao realm, I am only one step away from the ninth stage. I need to go to the Duan royal family's forbidden land in the imperial capital and get the last help I need."

"In other words, after this, I will devote myself to martial arts cultivation. The position of the Harmony King will be inherited by Duan Chaofeng."

Duan Yunyi said calmly. After finishing his words, the five people below were moved.

Although they knew about this long ago, when Duan Yunyi said this personally, they were still shocked.

"According to the rules of the mansion, when the new Harmony King ascends, you young masters have to prepare to move out of the mansion."

Duan Yunyi was straightforward.

He had to say this now and not let Duan Chaofeng say this later.

Although these young masters of the Harmony King Mansion still lived in the mansion, they all had their own small fiefs in State Guqing.

"You have ten days. In ten days, return to your respective fiefs."

Duan Yunyi ordered.

"Yes, Father."

Duan Chaoyu and the others responded respectfully.

Duan Chaofeng was silent.

"When I go to the imperial capital and the heir inherits the position of King Ye, I hope you can still consider the relationship between brothers and help each other."

"Especially the Crown Prince, you have to take good care of your younger brothers. Don't forget your brotherhood because of your status."

Duan Yunyi looked at Duan Chaofeng.

"Yes, Father."

Duan Chaofeng responded humbly.

At this moment, Duan Chaoyu's eyes twitched.

When Duan Chaoyu heard Duan Yunyi mention brotherhood, he felt a little guilty.

This was because his future plans involved killing his brother.

"Chaoyu."

Just when Duan Chaoyu was thinking, Duan Yunyi suddenly called out Duan Chaoyu's name.

This made Duan Chaoyu's heart tighten.

Although he had extremely malicious thoughts, Duan Chaoyu still felt fear from the bottom of his heart when facing his father.

"Father."

Duan Chaoyu quickly responded.

"Your martial arts aptitude is the best among them. I hope that after you return to your fief, you will try your best to cut ties with the outside world and concentrate on your martial path. Don't waste your martial arts potential."

"If you need anything during your martial arts cultivation, you can ask your second brother, and he will definitely help you."

Duan Yunyi looked straight at Duan Chaoyu, which made Duan Chaoyu a little scared.

"Understood, Father."

Duan Chaoyu quickly said and lowered his head.

Duan Yunyi nodded, but his eyes did not immediately leave Duan Chaoyu.

Moreover, there was a special look in his eyes.

However, Duan Chaoyu knew that Duan Yunyi was still watching him, so he did not dare to look up, so he did notice Duan Yunyi's special gaze. "I will announce this to the public tomorrow."

Duan Yunyi looked away from Duan Chaoyu. "You all should also prepare yourselves."

Afterwards, Duan Yunyi told his sons to leave.

But before leaving, Duan Yunyi stopped Duan Chaofeng.

Only Duan Yunyi and Duan Chaofeng were left in the study. "Chaofeng." Duan Yunyi said, "The position of the Harmony King is not only being respected by everyone… Do you understand?" "Understood, Father."

Duan Chaofeng nodded solemnly.

He knew very well that after inheriting the position of the Harmony King, he would have to bear greater responsibilities.

The higher their status, the more resources they would control, and the more resources they would have to contribute to the Duan royal family.

In the future, not only would he have to unite with the governor of State Guqing and stabilize the situation in State Guqing, but he would also have to obey the orders of the Duan royal family to attack the hostile forces that were against the Duan royal family. "Chaofeng… after becoming the Harmony King, if you get into a feud with your brothers, what will you do?" Duan Yunyi suddenly asked. Duan Chaofeng was taken aback. From the beginning, Duan Yunyi had been talking about his brothers.

"As an elder brother, I should give in to my younger brothers to maintain our relationship."

Duan Chaofeng's answer was reasonable, but he was thinking hard about this question.

After hearing Duan Chaofeng's answer, Duan Yunyi smiled and stopped asking.

"By the way, is the seed of the Core Sea Demon Sect you mentioned in the mansion currently?"

Duan Yunyi took the initiative to ask Xu Ning.

A few days ago, when Duan Chaofeng was talking to Duan Yunyi, he mentioned Xu Ning.

Duan Chaofeng also told Duan Yunyi how amazing Xu Ning was.

Even the Harmony King, who was in the eighth stage of dao realm, praised Xu Ning after hearing his outstanding performance.

And today, Duan Yunyi mentioned him again.

"He should be in the mansion."

Duan Chaofeng said, "He should be focusing on practicing his origin technique, the Void Walk Beast Phantom."

"Okay, ask him to come see me."

Duan Yunyi said, "This person is likely to become an important ally of yours. Before he fully matures, I have to personally observe him."

"Yes."

When Duan Chaofeng heard that Duan Yunyi wanted to see Xu Ning personally, he didn't take it lightly.

He left the Harmony King's study and personally went to find Xu Ning.

At this moment, Xu Ning had just returned from the mountains for half a day when Duan Chaofeng suddenly came to find him.

"Xu Ning, my father wants to see you personally!"

When Duan Chaofeng saw Xu Ning, he quickly explained his intentions.

"His Majesty wants to see me?"

Xu Ning didn't expect this.

"My father is in the study right now, I will take you there."

Duan Chaofeng was a little anxious.

"Okay."

Seeing this, Xu Ning did not hesitate.

Although he was about to face the most powerful existence in State Guqing, Xu Ning was relatively calm.

"Go in."

At the door of the study, Duan Chaofeng patted Xu Ning on the shoulder. "My father appreciates you, you don't have to be too cautious."

Xu Ning took the initiative to walk into the study.

"Your Majesty."

Xu Ning saw Duan Yunyi at the desk.

His temperament was similar to what Xu Ning had expected.

"Come sit."

Duan Yunyi smiled faintly. His attitude towards Xu Ning seemed to be more kind than what he showed towards his sons.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Ning was humble and polite.

"The Crown Prince has told me about your experience. You rose step by step from a place like the Abyss North to where you are today. Your aptitude and temperament are indeed one in a million."

Duan Yunyi was not stingy with his praise for Xu Ning. "Now that the Crown Prince is about to inherit the title of the Harmony King, I hope you can help him after you become a seed of the Core Sea Demon Sect."

"Don't worry, His Highness and I are friends. He has helped me a lot, so I will definitely repay him in the future."

Xu Ning was being honest. These were his true thoughts. Duan Yunyi nodded in satisfaction when he saw Xu Ning's firmness.

"Xu Ning, I heard that you are practicing the Void Walk Beast Phantom. Have you gained anything recently?"

Duan Yunyi asked.

"I have already successfully cultivated it."

Xu Ning responded.

"Successfully cultivated? You mean you have mastered the Void Walk Beast Phantom?"

Duan Yunyi raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"I was lucky."

Xu Ning said.

Duan Yunyi's eyes showed a strange look.

Xu Ning was definitely not lying. 'Mastering the Void Walk Beast Phantom in a month… It seems that even the Grandmaster of the Duan royal family did not have this kind of cultivation speed…'

Duan Yunyi pursed his lips.

"Do you have any doubts about your current martial arts path?"

Duan Yunyi asked again.

Xu Ning paused. "Not for now."

"In that case, do you need anything now?"

Duan Yunyi continued to ask.

"I'm missing a first-class treasure."

Xu Ning answered straightforwardly.

He could tell that this Harmony King seemed to be very friendly to him.

Hearing the answer, Duan Yunyi laughed.

"Look at this first-class treasure, can you use it?"

A silver light flashed in front of Xu Ning's eyes.

A short weapon floated in front of him.

Xu Ning reached out his hand, and the short weapon landed in Xu Ning's palm.

"This is…"

Xu Ning was holding a dagger-sized short weapon.

Its entire body was silver-white, and its handle was covered in spiral patterns. Its top was similar to a spearhead, but it was thinner.

"This is a first-class treasure, the Flowing Cloud Piercer."

Duan Yunyi said, "This Flowing Cloud Piercer is an extremely powerful first-class melee treasure. I think you should use it. If it is suitable, I will give it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Ning was intrigued. He thought it would take some time before he could find a first-class treasure.

But he didn't expect to receive a reward from the Harmony King so quickly.

The Harmony King's reward this time was actually very extravagant. Because even the current heir, Duan Chaofeng, who was about to become the new Harmony King, did not have a first-class secret treasure with him.

Xu Ning knew very well that the reason why the Harmony King gave him this first-class treasure was in fact to take out a bargaining chip to stabilize his relationship with Duan Chaofeng.

"Study the power of the Flowing Cloud Piercer yourself."

Duan Yunyi said, "I hope you can stand out in the seed competition of the Core Sea Demon Sect."

"I will do my best."

Xu Ning nodded.

Chapter 292 Unusual Guest

The next day. The news that Harmony King Duan Yunyi was about to give up his position was announced to the public.

This news was quite sudden, so it caused quite a stir.

In addition to Duan Chaofeng, the other four young masters of the mansion also began to follow Duan Yunyi's instructions, preparing to leave the mansion and return to their own fiefs.

Everything was going according to plan, but unexpectedly, before Duan Chaofeng could officially inherit the throne, the old Harmony King, Duan Yunyi, rushed to the imperial capital. This confused Duan Chaofeng, who was about to inherit the throne, but he couldn't interfere with his father's decision.

On this day, Xu Ning was holding the Flowing Cloud Piercer in his villa.

Since it had already been some time Xu Ning had received the Flowing Cloud Piercer, he had already completely grasped its power.

According to Duan Yunyi, this Flowing Cloud Piercer was a first-class melee secret treasure. Xu Ning also discovered that when he held the Flowing Cloud Piercer and activated the power of the dao realm, the lethality of the Flowing Cloud Piercer would increase. However, after some experimentation, Xu Ning discovered that this was not the strongest feature of the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

Other than that, the Flowing Cloud Piercer had two other special features.

Firstly, this Flowing Cloud Piercer contained spatial power.

After activating the spatial power and throwing the Flowing Cloud Piercer, the Flowing Cloud Piercer could temporarily hide between the void. And once it approached the enemy, the Flowing Cloud Piercer would appear from the void and attack the enemy. Xu Ning liked this ability. With it, he could easily launch sneak attacks. Unless it was an enemy who was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, they would not be able to avoid the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

Secondly, the Flowing Cloud Piercer had the power to store strength before blowing up in an instant.

Xu Ning discovered that the Flowing Cloud Piercer could absorb his dao realm power and store it inside.

And when it touched an enemy, it would produce an explosive effect. This ability combined with the ability to hide in the void was an unbeatable assassin killer move, especially when combined with the secret treasure, Aura Concealment Ring, Xu Ning had previously obtained. All these could allow him to perfectly transform into a first-class assassin.

Xu Ning rubbed the Flowing Cloud Piercer in his hand.

"The Flowing Cloud Piercer must be extremely useful in the hands of the old Harmony King. He still gave me this Flowing Cloud Piercer, so I owe him a favor.'

Xu Ning knew that Duan Yunyi's gift of the Flowing Cloud Piercer was an investment of goodwill.

The Harmony King was betting that Xu Ning could gain a firm foothold after entering the Core Sea Demon Sect and become a high-level member of the Core Sea Demon Sect, which would definitely bring benefits to Duan Chaofeng.

"Xu Ning."

At this moment, Zhang He rushed over from outside.

"Brother Zhang?"

Xu Ning put away the Flowing Cloud Piercer and went out to welcome him.

"Why, are you here to collect your debt?"

Xu Ning saw Zhang He's hurried footsteps and joked. He had yet to return the 3 million units of energy that Zhang He had lent him.

"No."

Zhang He waved his hand and said, "Let's go and pick someone up outside the city." "Pick someone up?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. "Who?"

"To fetch the guests of His Highness."

Zhang He said, "Isn't the ceremony for the Crown Prince to succeed the Harmony King tomorrow? Now, everyone in State Guqing has sent their representatives to congratulate the Crown Prince."

"A lot of people have entered the city two days ago, and they have all been settled."

"Just now, there was news from outside the city that the Sect Master of the Shock Sect and his entourage have arrived outside the city, and they need us to pick them up."

'Guests from the Shock Sect…'

Xu Ning thought about it and said, "Let's go." The Shock Sect was an old sect in State Guqing.

This sect was very prosperous hundreds of years ago. They had a close relationship with the Harmony King Mansion, and both sides even had marriage connections.

However, over the past few hundred years, the masters of the Shock Sect began to wither, and among the younger generation, there were no talents who could control the overall situation of the sect, causing no high level dao realm masters to be born from the sect.

But even so, the relationship between the Shock Sect and the Harmony King Mansion was still close. It was still an important friend of the Harmony King Mansion.

Therefore, when the representatives from the Shock Sect arrived, Xu Ning and Zhang He, the two people who represented Duan Chaofeng the most, had to welcome them on behalf of Duan Chaofeng.

Soon after, Xu Ning and Zhang He arrived at a distance more than ten miles away from the city and began to wait.

Along with them was also a team of soldiers from the mansion.

These soldiers from the mansion were wearing armor and holding dao spears. They looked mighty and fierce.

Bringing these soldiers from the mansion here was also a form of respect for the representatives of the Shock Sect.

Caw!

Not long after, a black shadow appeared on the distant horizon and let out a cry at the same time.

"Here they come!" Xu Ning and Zhang He looked into the distance.

More than a dozen giant birds rushed over with human figures on their backs.

After seeing Xu Ning and Zhang He's team on the ground, they also landed.

Dozens of people got off the birds.

They were all wearing cyan-colored clothes.

The leader was a middle-aged core transformation realm master.

Several people followed closely behind him.

"Sect Master Gong!"

This was obviously not the first time Zhang He had seen the leader, so he took the initiative to welcome him.

"Master Zhang!"

Sect Master Gong, who was in the core transformation realm, also squeezed out a smile and greeted Zhang He politely.

Zhang He was already a trusted subordinate of the heir, and now that he was a trusted subordinate of the future Harmony King, thus, Sect Master Gong was naturally very enthusiastic about Zhang He.

Sect Master Gong's full name was Gong Weiyi. He had been the Sect Master of the Shock Sect for decades, and he was quite famous in State Guqing

"We have received orders from His Highness to wait for everyone from the Shock Sect!"

Zhang He said.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Gong Weiyi quickly thanked him.

"This is?"

At this moment, Gong Weiyi noticed Xu Ning next to him.

He noticed that Xu Ning was standing beside Zhang He with a calm expression. From the looks of it, his status was obviously not inferior to Zhang He.

"This is Xu Ning, a guest of our mansion."

Zhang He introduced.

"Xu Ning?" After hearing Xu Ning's name, Gong Weiyi's eyes lit up.

"Master Xu, I have heard a lot about you!"

Gong Weiyi cupped his fists towards Xu Ning.

Gong Weiyi had heard about Xu Ning's recent reputation.

"Sect Master Gong."

Xu Ning responded with a greeting.

"You must be tired from the journey, please follow us into the city and take a rest."

Zhang He made an inviting gesture.

At that moment, the soldiers from the mansion had already pulled over a carriage.

Although everyone present was a martial arts master, they were still more than ten miles away from the city, so it was not appropriate to make them walk over.

"Please."

Afterwards, Xu Ning, Zhang He, Gong Weiyi, and a young man and woman behind him got into the carriage.

This carriage was pulled by eight demon beast horses of the same bloodline. The interior of the carriage was extremely large, with tables and chairs set up.

Soon, the carriage started to move, and the group of people rushed towards the city.

"Sect Master Gong, are these two your beloved disciples?"

On the carriage, Zhang He glanced at the young man and young woman next to Gong Weiyi and asked casually.

Gong Weiyi had a proud look on his face when asked by Zhang He.

"That's right, these two are my personal disciples."

Gong Weiyi said, "The two of them are the hope of the Shock Sect. Compared to me, the two of them are more likely to reach the elementary origin realm and lead the Shock Sect back to its peak."

"Oh?"

Xu Ning and Zhang He looked at the two.

Gong Weiyi's two disciples seemed a little cautious when being stared at by Xu Ning and Zhang He.

'They are both in the second stage of the dao realm. Although their realms are low, they are not old, both in their thirties.'

Xu Ning thought to himself after a rough gauge. A thirty-year-old dao realm master was indeed rare.

Not everyone was as relaxed as Xu Ning when trying to advance through realms.

"Gao Jian, Chu Shan, come and greet the two masters."

Gong Weiyi said in a low voice.

"Greetings, masters…"

The male disciple named Gao Jian and the female disciple named Chu Shan quickly stood up and greeted the two.

They had been following Gong Weiyi since earlier, so they had no opportunity to interrupt.

"Take a seat."

Zhang Yi waved his hand.

"Huh?"

Xu Ning suddenly stared at Gao Jian and narrowed his eyes.

He felt that something was wrong.

As soon as Gao Jian greeted him and their eyes met, Xu Ning felt instinctively uncomfortable.

'What's going on?'

Xu Ning remained calm on the surface, but he began to think in his heart.

After advancing to the core transformation realm, Xu Ning's perception had risen to another level.

He had a strong foundation and a sensitive perception. The strange feeling just now must have been because something was wrong. "Gao Jian…"

Xu Ning took the initiative to speak.

"Huh?"

Gao Jian was obviously taken aback when he was called out by Xu Ning.

"Gao Jian, what are you waiting for?"

Gong Weiyi looked unhappy when he saw this.

He hoped that his beloved disciple could get closer to Xu Ning and Zhang He. If that could come true, the future of these two disciples might be easier. "Master Xu."

Gao Jian seemed to only react after the reminder.

"I noticed that your aura is stable. When you were in the void realm, your martial arts foundation must have been quite good."

Xu Ning smiled and praised.

After being praised by Xu Ning, Gao Jian seemed a little terrified. "This is all due to Master's guidance."

"Mmm…"

Xu Ning nodded.

Without any warning, Xu Ning struck the power of dao realm into Gao Jian's body.

Gong Weiyi and Zhang He couldn't react at all.

'Sure enough, there is a problem!'

Xu Ning's expression changed the next instant.

Chapter 293 Easy Kill

"Master Xu, what are you doing?" Gong Weiyi quickly reacted and subconsciously protected Gao Jian.

He looked at Xu Ning with dissatisfaction, but his rationality made him restrain himself.

"Xu Ning, what's wrong?"

Zhang He was also a little serious. He knew Xu Ning well, so he knew that Xu Ning was not the kind of person who would bully others.

"Ask him."

Xu Ning stared at Gao Jian coldly. "Who exactly are you?"

"Master Xu, this is my beloved disciple Gao Jian…"

Gong Weiyi was confused.

However, while he was defending Gao Jian, Gao Jian had a strange look on his face.

Gao Jian then laughed.

"Amazing!"

After Gao Jian praised Xu Ning, his nervousness disappeared, and it was replaced by arrogance.

"You are only in the core transformation realm, but you can already sense my true state. Truly amazing!" The smile on Gao Jian's face disappeared, and a murderous intent began to appear. "Gao Jian, no, you are not Gao Jian!

are

Gong Weiyi also noticed the abnormality.

The aura of his beloved disciple began to rise, and his appearance also changed.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Jian's handsome face turned into a feminine man.

The aura on his body was no longer in the astral qi realm and instead, it made Gong Weiyi and Zhang He feel pressured.

'Dao realm seventh stage, elementary origin realm!'

Gong Weiyi and Zhang He were shocked. "Who are you and why are you here? Where is my disciple Gao Jian?"

Gong Weiyi pulled the stunned disciple Chu Shan over and asked the feminine man.

His mind was still in a state of shock.

"I wanted to spare your lives, but now that my identity is exposed, I can only be ruthless!"

A gust of air spread out from the feminine man's body, blowing up the entire carriage.

Gong Weiyi and Zhang He were also repelled with blood flowing out of their mouths.

Especially Gong Weiyi, in order to protect his disciple Chu Shan, his internal organs were seriously injured.

At the same time, this gust of air also overturned the surrounding carriages and the soldiers of the mansion.

In just a moment, the group that was returning to the city fell into chaos.

"Huh?"

The feminine man noticed that Xu Ning, who had first discovered his identity, was standing not far away and was staring straight at him.

There seemed to be a look of eagerness in his eyes.

He seemed to be provoking him.

This offended the feminine man.

This was a provocation from a core transformation realm master to an elementary origin realm master.

"It seems that you still don't know how powerful an elementary origin realm master who has comprehended the power of origin is!" The feminine man raised his palm.

Then, a white light flashed above everyone's head.

A pure white sword apparition suddenly rushed down towards Xu Ning's head.

"Xu Ning, be careful!"

After sensing the terrifying aura of the pure white sword apparition, Zhang He quickly reminded.

Zhang He felt that he would be killed in one blow under that pure white sword.

However, Xu Ning remained calm. Just when the pure white sword apparition was about to pierce through Xu Ning's skull, a Void Beast phantom suddenly appeared behind Xu Ning. The Void Beast roared.

In an instant, the space above Xu Ning's head was twisted, and the pure white sword apparition instantly shattered.

'Such a strong origin technique!?'

The feminine man's pupils shrank.

His origin technique had been blocked by the opponent's origin technique.

Seeing this, the feminine man immediately put away his previous contempt, looking as though he was facing a great enemy.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom, Night Weaver!"

Immediately after, another demon beast phantom appeared behind Xu Ning.

This time, it was the Night Beast.

The feminine man suddenly felt his vision go dark.

This was not visual darkness, but the kind of darkness that sucked away all perception.

'Not good!'

The feminine man panicked and quickly activated his only trace of origin power, wanting to break free from this state.

However, just when he was trying his best to escape from the endless darkness, the Flowing Cloud Piercer had already arrived in front of

him.

Pfft!

The Flowing Cloud Piercer pierced through the feminine man's head.

Boom!

The power stored in the Flowing Cloud Piercer exploded.

The feminine man died on the spot.

'Is this my current strength…'

Xu Ning killed the elementary origin realm master in front of him in a matter of seconds.

He didn't expect this.

Xu Ning knew that he had the strength to kill enemies above his realm, but Xu Ning still felt that it was unreal.

Although this was partly due to the opponent's underestimation of his strength and the surprising effect of the bloodline power of the Void Beast and the Night Beast, this still couldn't cover Xu Ning's truly high combat power. "Xu Ning…" Zhang He saw the feminine man's head explode in front of him. Looking at the scene, he still hadn't recovered from the huge impact.

Gong Weiyi felt his brain buzzing. This had exceeded his martial arts knowledge.

The female disciple behind him, Chu Shan, looked at Xu Ning with burning respect and admiration.

That was an elementary origin realm master!

He was killed by a core transformation realm master in such a short time.

At this moment, some people still didn't know what was going on.

Xu Ning walked next to the feminine man and searched his body.

'Aura Concealment Ring!'

Soon, Xu Ning found a ring on the feminine man's finger.

Although the design of this Aura Concealment Ring was different from Xu Ning's, after checking it, he found that its activation mechanism was exactly the same as his own.

'This elementary origin realm master is from the Hidden Sect!

Xu Ning immediately determined this person's identity.

After all, the Aura Concealment Ring in Xu Ning's hand was also obtained from the hands of the Hidden Sect.

"Xu Ning!"

After a while, Zhang He woke up from his stupor.

He quickly got up and walked to Xu Ning's side.

"What's going on?"

Zhang He quickly asked. "This person is from the Hidden Sect."

Xu Ning said, "He disguised himself as a disciple of the Shock Sect."

"This…" Zhang He instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

The purpose of the Hidden Sect infiltrating the Shock Sect to enter the city at this period of time was obvious.

This was definitely a scheme to hurt Duan Chaofeng.

"What?"

At this moment, Gong Weiyi also walked over.

When he heard Xu Ning's words, he was shocked.

Gong Weiyi had no time to think about where his true disciple Gao Jian had gone.

He knew very well that if Xu Ning had not discovered and killed this person, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Once this person hurt Duan Chaofeng, even if they found out that he was not from the Shock Sect, the Shock Sect would suffer severe consequences because of his mistakes.

Forget about whether they could survive, the sect might not even be able to survive this blunder.

The fury of the Duan royal family would definitely implicate him and the Shock Sect.

"I have to report this quickly!"

Zhang He said.

Xu Ning nodded. 'What a shame…'

If Xu Ning knew that he was only this strong, he would have spared this person's life just now.

That way, he could have interrogated him for some useful information.

Xu Ning searched the feminine man's body and found a storage ring. Xu Ning checked and found that there were some resources stored inside, which were worth less than 5 million units of energy. After checking the contents of the storage ring, if there were no suspicious resources, Xu Ning could put it in his bag.

"Sect Master Gong, you were too careless." Zhang He turned his head. His attitude towards Gong Weiyi had changed.

"Yes…"

Gong Weiyi smiled bitterly.

"Come with us to see His Highness. As for the people from the Shock Sect, don't go into the city just yet."

Zhang He said.

Afterwards, Xu Ning, Zhang He, and Gong Weiyi rushed to the Harmony King Mansion in the city.

"There's such a thing?"

In the study, Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning and the other two with a black face.

Xu Ning and the other two had already explained the situation to Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng, who was about to inherit the position of the Harmony King, had been in high spirits recently, but when he heard that someone from the Hidden Sect might be secretly plotting against him, Duan Chaofeng's mood was completely ruined.

"Your Highness, now that the people of the Hidden Sect are appearing more and more frequently in State Wansheng, many evil deeds are being committed everyday. They must be planning something for them to appear here."

"Since one person can sneak into the sect and approach you through the participation ceremony, then it is possible that there are others lurking in the dark. There might be other spies from the Hidden Sect among the other guests who came to the city a few days ago. If they sneak into the ceremony, then your safety will be difficult to guarantee." Zhang He explained his analysis with much consideration.

"That's right."

Duan Chaofeng agreed. "We have to investigate and pull out the hidden dangers."

"Your Highness, if we want to solve this matter quickly, not only do we have to borrow the power of the mansion, but also the power of the Imperial Court. We should send this news to Lord State Overseer and ask him to use the Imperial Court's forces to investigate the people of the Hidden Sect."

Zhang He added.

"Yes, that should be the case."

Duan Zhaofeng said, "The various factions of the Imperial Court are also increasing their efforts to eliminate the Hidden Sect."

"Zhang He, I'll leave this matter to you."

Duan Chaofeng said.

"Yes."

With that, Zhang He turned around and left.

"Your Highness, because of my negligence, you were almost in danger. Please punish me."

At this moment, Gong Weiyi said.

"It's not your fault."

Duan Chaofeng did not blame him. "It's normal for you to not be able to defend against an elementary origin realm master. You don't have to feel too ashamed."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gong Weiyi was relieved. He knew that he had avoided this calamity.

"But you, Xu Ning…"

Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning, and his words were cut off mid-sentence. It seemed like there was no need to praise him. This was not the first time Xu Ning had done this.

Although this time, it was a massive difference, because a core transformation realm had killed an elementary origin realm.

Report chapter

Chapter 294 Night Assault

Inside the city.

Inside an ordinary-looking house, there was a sealed room hidden underground.

Inside the sealed room, a gray-robed man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Bang! Bang! The door of the sealed room opened, and a person walked in.

This person was none other than Zhuo Cengyun, who had been forced to join the Hidden Sect.

"Something happened outside."

Zhuo Cengyun stood next to the gray-robed man and said coldly.

Judging from Zhuo Cengyun's attitude, he disliked the person in front of him.

In fact, because he was forced to join the Hidden Sect, Zhuo Cengyun did not have a good impression of the people in the Hidden Sect.

But because the evidence of his crime was in their hands, Zhuo Cengyun could only let them do whatever they wanted.

Ever since Zhuo Cengyun joined the Hidden Sect, he had been cooperating with the people of the Hidden Sect, preparing to assassinate Duan Chaofeng and the higher-ups of the other forces in State Guqing. Because he was a highly qualified guest of the Harmony King Mansion, Zhuo Cengyun was responsible for coordinating the plan from the inside, which greatly increased the success rate of the Hidden Sect's mission.

Zhuo Cengyun's personal knowledge and information about the mansion were of higher value than his military strength.

According to Zhuo Cengyun's arrangement, once Duan Chaofeng was assassinated and the elites of the various forces in State Guqing were attacked, Zhuo Cengyun would assist Duan Chaoyu and use the cover of the Harmony King Mansion to prepare for the deeper infiltration of the Hidden Sect into State Guqing. "What happened?"

The gray-robed man opened his eyes.

There was a deep look in his eyes.

The gray-robed man's name was Liu Yi, and he was the leader of this assassination mission.

He was also a peak elementary origin realm master.

"One of our spies we placed in a sect has been exposed."

Zhuo Cengyun said.

"Exposed?"

Liu Yi's expression was a little ugly. "How did he get exposed? Those elementary origin realm masters not only know how to hide their aura, but they also all wear Aura Concealment Rings. As long as they don't take the initiative to release their aura, they won't be exposed, unless they encounter a stronger dao realm eighth stage master, or a master in the same realm with top-notch perception type secret treasures."

"But ever since the previous Harmony King, Duan Yunyi, left State Guqing and went to the imperial capital, there should be no such person in the Harmony King Mansion…" "The one exposed is the spy who sneaked into the Shock Sect. I haven't found out the specific details yet, so I still don't know…"

Zhuo Cengyun was a little solemn, and he looked worried.

Although he disliked the people from the Hidden Sect, the fact was that they were now in the same boat.

If anything went wrong, Zhuo Cengyun would definitely be implicated.

"How do you think we should deal with this?"

Liu Yi asked for Zhuo Cengyun's opinion.

"I don't know."

Zhuo Cengyun said, "If I'm not wrong, the people of the Harmony King Mansion will definitely join forces with the local forces of the Imperial Court to conduct a search and arrest. You should also know how strongly the Imperial Court feels towards the extermination of the Hidden Sect. Once they use their full strength, we will be dug out sooner or later." "Mmm…"

Liu Yi stood up and paced around the room.

Zhuo Cengyun looked at him without saying a word.

After a long time, Liu Yi stood still.

"Change the plan."

Liu Yi looked up and made a decision.

"Give up the assassination attempt during the Harmony King Inheritance Ceremony."

Liu Yi said.

"Give up?"

Zhuo Cengyun was surprised.

"We have to give up."

Liu Yi said, "According to what you said, a stronger search force may arrive soon, and there may even be top masters from the imperial capital coming over soon." "If we leave State Guqing like this, won't all our previous arrangements be wasted?"

Zhuo Cengyun's expression was a little ugly. If that was the case, then he would have been forced to join this Hidden Sect for nothing.

If Duan Chaofeng was not assassinated, Duan Chaoyu would not be able to inherit the position of the Harmony King.

If that was the case, he would not become an important official of the mansion.

"Who said we are leaving?"

A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes. "We are just giving up the group assassination mission during the Harmony King Inheritance Ceremony. The assassination attempt against Duan Chaofeng will still continue."

"Only when Duan Chaofeng dies and Duan Chaoyu becomes the Harmony King will we be able to continue our plan to infiltrate State Guqing."

Liu Yi's words made Zhuo Cengyun slightly relieved.

"When will the assassination of Duan Chaofeng begin?"

Zhuo Cengyun asked.

"As soon as possible."

Liu Yi said, "The later we attack, the greater the risk of us being exposed."

"How do we assassinate him and break into the mansion?"

Zhuo Cengyun said, "After Duan Chaofeng learned that there are dangers lurking around, he will definitely not leave the Harmony King Mansion again. And although there are no powerful dao realm eighth stage masters in the Harmony King Mansion, there are still several dao realm seventh stage masters. If we attack forcefully, not only will the casualties be high, but the operation may also not be successful. It is also possible that the Imperial Court will send troops to help during the assault."

"Then let's lure the tiger away from the mountain and cause a distraction."

Liu Yi said, "We will first send people to take the initiative to expose ourselves and pretend to attack outside the mansion. After we lure away the high level dao realm masters in the mansion, we will let our remaining men sneak into the mansion and kill Duan Chaofeng." "That could work…"

Zhuo Cengyun agreed with Liu Yi's plan.

"Go make the final arrangement before the operation. Draw the map of the mansion, mark out the escape paths, then you shall leave the

city."

Liu Yi said, "You can't expose yourself now. After all, in the future, you will represent us in State Guqing." "Okay."

Zhuo Cengyun said, "Then I will go and find Third Young Master."

At this moment, Duan Chaoyu had already followed Duan Yunyi's orders to head to his fief.

He was currently waiting for news from Liu Yi. Once the matter was done, he was ready to return.

"You can find Duan Chaoyu, but remember, don't expose yourself."

Liu Yi reminded again.

Late at night.

Boom!

An explosion suddenly came from the side of the Harmony King Mansion.

"What's the commotion?"

Xu Ning was meditating, but he was suddenly disturbed.

'It's the aura of an elementary origin realm master! Someone is attacking the mansion!'

Xu Ning quickly sensed it clearly. His expression changed slightly. 'Could it be that the people from the Hidden Sect want to attack the Harmony King Mansion with brute force?'

Xu Ning's mind was racing.

After Xu Ning reported the arrangements of the Hidden Sect, the Harmony King Mansion and the local forces of the Imperial Court began to jointly investigate the hidden forces of the Hidden Sect in the city.

But it hadn't been long since then, and they hadn't made any progress yet.

'Could it be that the Hidden Sect knows that they are about to be exposed, so they are risking everything to attack the mansion and hurt His Highness?' Xu Ning had basically concluded the truth of this incident.

"Let's go find His Highness first!"

Xu Ning immediately made the decision.

Currently, in the Harmony King Mansion, there were still five elementary origin realm masters that were responsible for the safety of the mansion.

However in comparison, Xu Ning's comprehensive combat power was much higher than them, so he was the one who could best protect Duan Chaofeng in moments of danger. "Your Highness!"

When Xu Ning came to Duan Chaofeng, he was already standing in the courtyard.

Beside him were two elementary origin realm masters protecting him.

There were even a large number of elite guards in the dao realm surrounding the courtyard.

These mansion guards were all loyal to the Harmony King Mansion, and they would not let any harm come to Duan Chaofeng even at the cost of their lives.

"Xu Ning."

Seeing Xu Ning's arrival, Duan Chaofeng felt much more assured.

Xu Ning's true combat power could even kill an elementary origin realm master.

"Someone is attacking the mansion with brute force!"

Duan Chaofeng said, "Three elementary origin realm masters have already gone over to stop them."

"Your Highness, do you plan to leave the mansion first or to wait and move according to the situation?"

Xu Ning asked.

If Duan Chaofeng wanted to leave this dangerous place first, Xu Ning could totally escort him.

"Let's wait first."

Duan Chaofeng said, "When the information from the frontline gets handed down, I will then decide whether to stay or leave."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, Xu Ning, Duan Chaofeng and the rest could hear the sounds of clashing from the edge of the mansion.

After fifteen minutes, the sounds of fighting gradually weakened, and the unfamiliar auras of the elementary origin realm masters began to drift away.

"Did the attackers escape?"

Xu Ning frowned.

Soon, Zhang He came.

"Your Highness."

Zhang He rushed over and nodded at Xu Ning.

Just now, Zhang He took the risk to go to the battlefield.

"The people who broke into the mansion just now were two elementary origin realm masters, and they should be from the Hidden Sect. The three seniors of the mansion blocked them and fought them, but they were gradually not their opponent. Now, the two elementary origin realm masters of the Hidden Sect have fled, and the three elders of the mansion are currently going after them!"

Zhang He said it all in one breath.

"Good!"

Duan Chaofeng said, "The people of the Hidden Sect knew that they were already exposed, so they attacked blindly in the middle of the night. They are obviously in a mess. If we can capture those two, it will be a great contribution to the Imperial Court."

"Okay, everyone is dismissed!"

Duan Chaofeng waved his hand and ordered his subordinates.

However, Xu Ning stood behind Duan Chaofeng and muttered.

"Your Highness."

Xu Ning walked to Duan Chaofeng's side. "Let's wait before dismissing the guards. There may be a second wave of attackers."

"Huh?"

Duan Chaofeng raised his eyebrows. "Then let us wait."

It wasn't that Duan Chaofeng didn't have such a sense of crisis.

But he felt that including the elementary origin realm master Xu Ning had killed, there were already three masters of the Hidden Sect exposed.

In Duan Chaofeng's opinion, the Hidden Sect was unlikely to send more people.

This was because according to the previous methods of the Hidden Sect, there had never been a case where more than three high level dao realm masters were dispatched.

Time slowly passed by.

"Master Xu might be worrying too much."

An elementary origin realm master next to Duan Chaofeng said, "After so long, there should be no more attackers."

The elementary origin realm master was an old guest in the mansion, and he was usually responsible for the safety of the mansion.

"Let's disperse the guards first. Afterwards, I will follow His Highness closely."

The old guest said.

However, before he could finish speaking, suddenly, there was a piercing sound from the distant night sky.

Only a dark arrow could be seen flying straight towards Duan Chaofeng.

Report chapter

Chapter 295 Xu Ning vs. Liu Yi

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Xu Ning was the first to react. He grabbed Duan Chaofeng and used his body to protect

him.

Bang!

However, the dark arrow did not continue to fall. Instead, it suddenly exploded in mid-air.

Afterwards, smoke filled the air.

"Protect His Highness!"

Someone began to shout.

'This smoke is similar to the gray fog in the Wind Smoke Gourd. It can block perception.'

Xu Ning instantly noticed.

However, this level of perception blockage was nothing to Xu Ning.

"Your Highness, come with me!'

Xu Ning grabbed Duan Chaofeng's arm and fled in a certain direction.

But when they approached the edge of the smoke, two figures appeared. They held weapons in their hands and rushed towards Xu Ning and Duan Chaofeng.

"Two elementary origin realm masters!"

Xu Ning gauged the strength of the other party. "It seems that the two previous attackers were bait!"

A little trace of panic appeared on Duan Chaofeng's face, but he still tried his best to stay calm.

"How many people did the Hidden Sect send this time?"

Duan Chaofeng felt a strong sense of danger. Whoosh!

Two gray-robed elementary origin realm masters had already arrived in front of Xu Ning

Xu Ning pushed Duan Chaofeng away and created some distance between them.

Immediately after, the Flowing Cloud Piercer appeared in Xu Ning's hand.

Clink!

There was the sound of metal colliding.

Xu Ning easily pushed the two away.

'It's not just these two, there are still more elementary realm masters…'

As Xu Ning fought, he judged that there were three more elementary origin realm masters in the range of the smoke.

Moreover, one of them was at the peak of the elementary origin realm, and his aura was stronger than others.

The three of them were currently held back by the other two seniors from the mansion, but the situation was getting more and more precarious. 'I have to end this quickly!'

Xu Ning poured the power of the dao realm into the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In addition to the increase in lethality, Flowing Cloud Piercer also had explosive power.

When the two people saw this, they immediately used their origin techniques.

Instantly, blade lights filled the air.

But Xu Ning was not to be outdone.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom! Void Distortion!"

A Void Beast phantom appeared behind Xu

Ning.

Not only were their origin techniques offset, but there were also bloody holes in each of their chests.

The two were shocked and wanted to escape. However, Xu Ning did not give them a chance. Flowing Cloud Piercer was thrown.

Pfft! Pfft!

Flowing Cloud Piercer pierced through their chests, and they died on the spot.

"Wind Smoke Gourd!"

Xu Ning took out the Wind Smoke Gourd.

This time, the Wind Smoke Gourd was not used to fight enemies, but to absorb these smoke.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, all of the smoke on the field was absorbed into Xu Ning's Wind Smoke Gourd.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

The villa had been completely destroyed, and the mansion and the battlefield were all affected.

The elite guards of the mansion all collapsed on the ground.

There were also those who were still alive, assisting the two elementary origin realm masters in the mansion to fight against the three Hidden Sect's gray-robed people.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning sensed that a pair of green wings appeared behind the peak elementary origin realm master of the Hidden Sect.

Afterwards, a jade green feather pierced through the heart of an elementary origin realm master from the mansion.

That person was the old guest from the mansion who was talking to them just now.

"Be careful!"

It was too late for Xu Ning to rescue him.

The old guest of the mansion was dead.

"Huh?"

After killing the old guest of the mansion, the peak elementary origin realm master of the Hidden Sect looked at Xu Ning.

'Core transformation realm?'

This person was naturally Liu Yi.

In order to ensure that the assassination tonight was foolproof, Liu Yi decided to personally take action. 'A core transformation realm warrior killed two elementary origin realm masters?'

Liu Yi saw the corpses of his subordinates.

His eyes were full of ruthlessness. 'What a terrifying aptitude and strong combat ability! Is he Xu Ning from the report?'

Liu Yi knew that he had to eliminate Xu Ning.

Otherwise, once a person of this level matured, he would pose a huge threat to the Hidden Sect.

"You take His Highness away first, I will deal with these three!"

Xu Ning rushed to the front and looked at Liu Yi and the other two.

The surviving elementary origin realm master wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"In that case, it's up to you, Master Xu!"

The senior from the mansion knew that the situation was urgent, and that his strength was insufficient, so he took the initiative to escape from the confrontation with Liu Yi.

"Your Highness, come with me!"

The senior from the mansion grabbed Duan Chaofeng's arm and fled into the distance. "Chase!"

Liu Yi looked at Xu Ning and ordered the other two to chase after Duan Chaofeng.

But the moment his two subordinates moved.

Xu Ning threw the Flowing Cloud Piercer backwards.

The Flowing Cloud Piercer instantly pierced into the void. When it appeared again, it penetrated the chest of one of the pursuers and exploded.

Killing an elementary origin realm master in one move.

The other pursuer stopped in shock.

After that, Xu Ning instantly reached the other pursuer, grabbed the Flowing Cloud Piercer, and stabbed him.

However, just when Xu Ning was about to attack again, a green feather flew over. Xu Ning felt threatened by the feather and dodged.

Seeing this, the pursuer immediately shook off Xu Ning and chased after Duan Chaofeng.

"Your opponent is me!"

Liu Yi blocked Xu Ning's path.

"How dare you people from the Hidden Sect try to assassinate a member of the Duan royal family!"

Xu Ning said sternly.

At the same time, Xu Ning distanced himself from this person as he felt an oozing sense of threat from him.

Although the person in front of him was also in the elementary origin realm, he seemed to be a little different from other elementary origin realms masters.

Liu Yi sneered and ignored Xu Ning's question.

"Xu Ning, you are indeed powerful! Not many people in State Wansheng can kill an elementary origin realm while still in the core transformation realm!"

Liu Yi said, "Why don't you join the Hidden Sect? I guarantee that you will become the number one core disciple of the sect. I will also give you countless resources, allowing your martial arts realm to advance by leaps and bounds."

Xu Ning was unmoved.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom!"

The phantom of a Blood Cyan Wolf appeared behind Xu Ning.

A red, transparent wolf head appeared and wrapped around Xu Ning. Together with Xu Ning, they rushed towards Liu Yi.

At this moment, Xu Ning poured a large amount of dao realm power into Flowing Cloud Piercer.

"You are strong enough!"

Seeing Xu Ning's fierce attack, the jade green wings appeared behind Liu Yi again.

A phantom of a Cyan-headed Bird flew out of the void and faced Xu Ning's attack head-on.

Boom!

The two collided and instantly exploded.

Waves of qi spread out, turning the collapsed buildings into powder.

The guards of the mansion who were ready to help Xu Ning at any time were also affected, some of them were even seriously injured.

In order not to drag Xu Ning down, they took the injured people around them and left the battlefield.

'This person also has a strong foundation!'

Xu Ning and Liu Yi were evenly matched. Neither of them had the upper hand. "This person from the Hidden Sect must have cleansed his inner core more than forty times when he was in the core cleansing realm. With his foundation, he even has the ability to fight against a dao realm eighth stage master and not die." Xu Ning began to value Liu Yi. 'Is Xu Ning holding the Flowing Cloud Piercer?'

As the fight went on, Liu Yi also noticed the special secret treasure in Xu Ning's hand.

"The Flowing Cloud Piercer is said to be a first-class secret treasure used by Harmony King Duan Yunyi when he was young. I didn't expect him to give the Flowing Cloud Piercer to Xu Ning, instead of giving it to Duan Chaofeng."

A look of greed appeared in Liu Yi's eyes.

The Jade Feather Sword in his hand was only an ordinary secret treasure.

"First-class secret treasure, Flowing Cloud Piercer, powerful origin technique, Void Walk Beast Phantom. Xu Ning, you sure have a lot of trump cards!"

Liu Yi's figure floated in the air.

An elementary origin realm master already had the ability to fly.

"This person is quite knowledgeable…'

Xu Ning threw the Flowing Cloud Piercer at Liu Yi.

The Flowing Cloud Piercer entered the void.

Whoosh!

However, when Flowing Cloud Piercer appeared again, Liu Yi actually dodged it.

'What strong spatial perception…'

The Flowing Cloud Piercer returned to Xu Ning's hand. 'In this case…'

A giant bug-shaped phantom of the Night Beast appeared behind Xu Ning.

'The ability of an apex demon beast, the Night Beast?!

A look of panic finally appeared on Liu Yi's face.

He knew that the Harmony King Mansion had tried to capture a Night Beast, but they returned in failure and paid a huge price.

He didn't expect that they would also obtain the blood of the Night Beast from their failed expedition.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom, Night Weaver!"

This was Xu Ning's strongest attack.

Sure enough, Liu Yi's perception began to be swallowed.

At the same time, Xu Ning threw out his Flowing Cloud Piercer.

'Not good!'

Liu Yi felt his perception was getting pulled into darkness. It seemed that even his control of his body was getting weaker and weaker.

He wanted to get out of this state.

For Liu Yi, this kind of darkness would not trap him for long. Liu Yi would be able to escape from this state after a few breaths. However, these few breaths of time were enough for him to be killed more than a hundred times in a battle between experts.

'I have no choice, I have to use that power!' Liu Yi steeled his heart and made up his mind.

Suddenly, Liu Yi heard a piercing cry in his mind.

This cry made Liu Yi feel like his head was about to explode.

However, this discomfort quickly disappeared.

The cyan light in front of Liu Yi dispersed the darkness, and he regained his perception. Whoosh!

Flowing Cloud Piercer flew over.

Swoosh!

Liu Yi's body flashed and he dodged it completely.

"This is…"

At this moment, Xu Ning, who was in front of Liu Yu, looked surprised.

Just now, Liu Yi's shirt burst open, and his originally white skin was instantly covered with a layer of scales.

Liu Yi's face became hideous. His mouth protruded into a bird's beak, and his eyes turned dark yellow. His palm also turned into sharp claws.

The most obvious thing was that the apparition of the green wings on his back, which had appeared when he used his origin technique, had materialized.

Chapter 296 Duan Yunyi's Setup

'His body is full of the aura of a demon beast!'

Xu Ning's pupils contracted.

He was clearly a human dao realm master, so why did he transform into this form? Moreover, his aura was also covered by the aura of a demon beast.

'This guy has become stronger…'

Xu Ning was alert.

He suddenly felt threatened.

The person in front of him might be comparable to a dao realm eight stage warrior.

Liu Yi's dark yellow eyes were full of coldness. He held the Jade Feather Sword and stared at Xu Ning

'Since I'm using this power, I have to end this quickly!

Liu Yi flapped his wings. Behind him, countless green feathers appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Xu Ning like arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The lethality of every green feather could instantly kill an ordinary core transformation realm master.

However, Xu Ning waved his Flowing Cloud Piercer, forming a protective membrane in front of him, blocking all of the green feathers.

Liu Yi flapped his wings again and appeared in front of Xu Ning.

He held the Jade Feather Sword and slashed at Xu Ning

Xu Ning used the Flowing Cloud Piercer to parry, and the two sides fought hard.

However, Xu Ning was struggling in the confrontation.

'What a strong feeling!' Xu Ning felt a terrifying force spreading from the opponent's sword.

'In addition to the power of the dao realm, his attack is also mixed with a bloodline power…'

Xu Ning clearly felt that. 'I wonder what kind of special combat method this is?'

'He could actually block that?'

The coldness in Liu Yi's eyes became more intense. He pulled himself back.

"Meteor Jade Feather!"

The dao realm power in Liu Yi's body and his bloodline power surged at the same time.

The next instant, a circle of light suddenly surrounded Xu Ning.

Whoosh!

Jade green light membrane rose from the ground and enveloped Xu Ning.

'Is this a bloodline ability?'

Xu Ning was shocked. He was trapped by the jade green light membrane. Whoosh!

Xu Ning threw out his Flowing Cloud Piercer, wanting to break open a hole in the jade green light membrane and escape.

However, this did not work. When the Flowing Cloud Piercer collided with the light membrane, an invisible force dissipated the impact of the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

"Ha!"

Outside the light membrane, Liu Yi shouted and cut his palm with the Jade Feather Sword.

Jade green blood floated in the air and seeped into the jade green light membrane surrounding Xu Ning.

The jade green light membrane began to shrink frantically, as if it wanted to crush Xu Ning.

In addition to the squeezing sensation, there was also a force in the light membrane that entered his body through his skin.

This force made Xu Ning feel a sense of numbness, and his body gradually began to lose control.

The blood from Liu Yi's wound continued to merge into the Jade Feather Sword.

His wings flapped, and the Jade Feather Sword pierced towards Xu Ning's chest.

'Not good!

Xu Ning's expression changed. The current Xu Ning couldn't dodge this attack at all.

However, at this critical moment.

A huge pressure suddenly descended from the sky.

Liu Yi, who was about to stab Xu Ning with his sword, fell straight to the ground. 'What's happening?' Liu Yi raised his head with difficulty and saw a figure appear in front of him. After seeing the face of the figure, Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat.

'Harmony King Duan Yunyi!?'

Liu Yi's eyes were blank at first, then it was filled with horror.

'Your Majesty?'

Just when he thought that he couldn't dodge the fatal blow, Xu Ning saw that the person who was going to stab him with the sword was instantly pressed to the ground. And immediately after, the shackles on his body disappeared.

Afterwards, Duan Yunyi appeared in front of him.

'Duan Yunyi? Didn't he already set off to the imperial capital? Why is he here?'

Liu Yi was full of questions.

"Could it be…'

Liu Yi suddenly thought of a possibility.

But at this moment, Duan Yunyi casually tapped Liu Yi's head, and Liu Yi immediately fainted.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Xu Ning quickly asked when he saw Liu Yi was subdued.

Duan Yunyi turned his body slightly and glanced at Xu Ning with a satisfied look in his eyes. He did not directly respond to Xu Ning's question. Instead, he said, "After activating the power of his bloodline, the true strength of this Hidden Sect member is comparable to a powerhouse in the eighth stage of the dao realm. I really didn't expect you to be able to deal with him."

Hearing that, Xu Ning knew that Duan Yunyi had already arrived before he fought against Liu Yi and was just hiding in the dark.

Only after seeing that he was in danger, Duan Yunyi saved him.

"In fact, I didn't go to the imperial capital at all. My departure was just a cover."

Afterwards, Duan Yunyi said, "The reason why I left was to lure these people from the Hidden Sect out."

"Really?"

Xu Ning suddenly realized. Xu Ning was still wondering why Duan Yunyi would go to the imperial capital in such a hurry, and why he didn't even personally attend Duan Chaofeng's Harmony King Inheritance Ceremony. "These people from the Hidden Sect have been thinking about infiltrating State Guqing for a long time. Being able to find such a big fish is a huge gain." Duan Yunyi glanced at Liu Yi, who had fainted on the ground. "I was ready to appear when they attacked Chaofeng, but after seeing your performance, I held back."

"I was also observing if there were any bigger fish besides these people, but it seems that there are none."

Duan Yunyi added.

"Your Majesty has laid out a good plan."

Xu Ning said from the side.

"It's just that the price is too high…"

Duan Yunyi sighed slightly.

"The price is too high?"

Xu Ning thought about this sentence.

During this raid, the Harmony King Mansion had indeed lost an elementary origin realm master.

Although this was unfortunate, the price couldn't really be considered high.

"The price I'm talking about is Duan Chaoyu."

A complicated look appeared in Duan Yunyi's eyes.

"The price is Third Young Master?"

Xu Ning seemed to have realized something. He glanced at Duan Yunyi and did not continue to speak.

"Colluding with the Hidden Sect in an attempt to assassinate his brother. Duan Chaoyu can't escape the internal punishment of the Duan royal family…"

Duan Yunyi explained to Xu Ning in simple terms.

Xu Ning's heart trembled, but he didn't say anything "Okay, Xu Ning, go help Chaofeng. I have other matters to deal with. Tell him that I will personally participate in his Harmony King Inheritance Ceremony."

Duan Yunyi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Ning responded.

Afterwards, Duan Yunyi carried Liu Yi and disappeared from the mansion.

'Duan Chaoyu is too bold…'

Xu Ning shook his head gently.

Although he had a mild impression of Duan Chaoyu, he didn't expect him to collude with the Hidden Sect. They were a thorn in the side of the Imperial Court, a sect that the Imperial Court wanted to eliminate the most.

Since Duan Yunyi wanted to put justice before family, Duan Chaoyu's ending might be bleak.

Xu Ning stopped thinking and went to find Duan Chaofeng who was still being pursued.

He was ready to rescue Duan Chaofeng, then capture the other two elementary origin realm masters who had acted as bait.

The next day.

State Guqing.

Duan Chaoyu's fief.

Duan Chaoyu was currently in his mansion, pacing back and forth in the garden with an anxious expression. Beside him was Zhuo Cengyun, who had come to seek refuge.

"Why hasn't there been any news from the mansion yet?"

Duan Chaoyu was a little uneasy. "Last night, they attacked the mansion. Whether they succeed or fail today, the result should already be out."

"Were they all captured or killed?"

Thinking of this, Duan Chaoyu's face looked a little ugly. "Third Young Master, you worry too much."

W

At this moment, Zhuo Cengyun said, "There are a total of seven Hidden Sect members in the city who are all elementary origin realm masters. It is impossible for such a powerful force to be completely wiped out."

"True…"

Duan Chaoyu's expression improved after hearing Zhuo Cengyun's words. Seven elementary origin realm masters couldn't be dealt with so easily.

Moreover, Liu Yi was the backbone of the Hidden Sect, and he had a powerful trump card. Even if he encountered danger, he should be able to escape.

"Tea, let's drink some tea."

Duan Chaoyu sat at the stone table.

Zhuo Cengyun sat down as well. There was nothing unusual showing on his face, but deep down, he was feeling very uneasy.

Although he comforted Duan Chaoyu just now, he couldn't comfort himself. He knew Liu Yi's style of doing things. According to Liu Yi's temperament, after taking action, regardless of success or failure, he would definitely send news in a short time.

So, this lack of news was abnormal.

Zhuo Cengyun had already made up his mind. If Liu Yi still didn't send any news back in half a day, he would leave Duan Chaoyu and escape overseas.

Even if he would lose everything, it was better than losing his life.

However, things did not go according to Zhuo Cengyun's plan.

Just as Zhuo Cengyun picked up a teacup.

Suddenly, blood splattered, dyeing the tea in his cup red.

'This blood…'

Zhuo Cengyun was taken aback at first, then he felt a chill between his neck.

Afterwards, he lost consciousness and his head rolled.

Duan Chaoyu who was sitting opposite him hadn't reacted yet.

"Assassins!"

After pausing for a moment, Duan Chaoyu stood up in panic.

But then he looked around and saw a familiar figure.

He saw his father, Duan Yunyi, staring at him coldly.

"Father!"

Duan Chaoyu's mind was buzzing.

The person who killed Zhuo Cengyun was his father.

"Father… I…"

Duan Chaoyu was dizzy. He had already realized what was about to happen.

"Chaoyu, I told you before that brothers should support each other, but you…"

Duan Yunyi sounded a little disappointed. "But you didn't listen…"

Duan Chaoyu felt his body stiffen. He finally realized that Duan Yunyi's words back then were all a warning to him.

"Father, I was wrong, spare my life!"

Duan Chaoyu knelt down.

Duan Yunyi ignored him. He threw out a rope dao weapon and tied Duan Chaoyu up. "We shall go to the imperial capital and talk!"

Report chapter

Chapter 297 Core Sea Demon Sect's Tactic?

Duan Chaofeng, who was about to become the new Harmony King, was ambushed by the Hidden Sect in his mansion and almost died.

When this news spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

The forces in State Guqing and even the whole State Wansheng didn't expect the Hidden Sect to be so arrogant.

Fortunately, the result was not bad. Duan Chaofeng himself did not suffer any injuries, while the people from the Hidden Sect were either captured or killed.

This also showed the strength of the Duan royal family to outsiders.

The news of the assassination attempt by the Hidden Sect spread, but the news regarding how the Third Young Master of the mansion, Duan Chaoyu, secretly communicated with the people of the Hidden Sect He to kill his brother to gain status, and how he helped the Hidden Sect infiltrate deep into State Guqing was kept under covers.

If this matter was spread, it would have a negative impact on the Harmony King Mansion, even the Duan royal family might be affected.

Therefore, only a small group of people knew about this. Except for the core circle of the Harmony King Mansion, only the big shots in the imperial capital knew about this.

After this matter calmed down, the imperial capital sent people to personally preside over Duan Chaofeng's inheritance ceremony.

Duan Yunyi also attended.

From then on, Duan Chaofeng became the new Harmony King of State Guqing. After Duan Chaofeng became the Harmony King, Duan Yunyi left for the imperial capital a few days later.

This time, he really went over.

Duan Yunyi was only one step away from the ninth stage of the dao realm. He wanted to enter the imperial family's forbidden land to further cultivate and break through realms.

Because after Duan Yunyi left the mansion, the mansion no longer had the protection of a powerful dao realm eighth stage master, so the Imperial Court specially sent a dao realm eighth stage master to protect Duan Chaofeng.

After all, since there had been an assasination attempt, the Imperial Court took this matter seriously.

After the assasination incident, Xu Ning received a lot of resources. On that day, after Xu Ning saved Duan Chaofeng, he also captured the pursuer alive. Afterwards, he also captured the two from the Hidden Sect who acted as bait alive.

This incident allowed Xu Ning to make a huge contribution once again.

As a reward, except for Liu Yi, who was handed over to the Imperial Court by Duan Yunyi, the spoils of war on the others all belonged to Xu Ning.

Among them, there were dao weapons, medicinal pills, spiritual herbs, strange artifacts and so on. In total, Xu Ning obtained resources worth nearly 20 million units of energy.

Even after returning the resources he borrowed from Zhang He, Xu Ning still had 21 million units of energy left.

Xu Ning only needed to obtain another 9 million units of energy to break through to the elementary origin realm of dao realm.

The elementary origin realm was the watershed of the dao realm. Once Xu Ning advanced, his strength would advance even further.

Not long after Duan Yunyi left for the imperial capital, Xu Ning would have to bid farewell to Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and the others.

According to the previous arrangement, Xu Ning would join the Core Sea Demon Sect and obtain a seed status.

"Xu Ning, take care!"

The two sides parted ways. The new Harmony King, Duan Chaofeng, personally sent Xu Ning

off.

Duan Chaofeng and Xu Ning had experienced several life-and-death crises together. The relationship between these two friends was already very deep, and in the future, they would borrow the convenience of each other's identity and be tied with benefits.

"Don't worry, Harmony King."

At this moment, Xu Ning changed the way he addressed Duan Chaofeng.

"Xu Ning, if you encounter any trouble in the Core Sea Demon Sect, just say the name of the Harmony King Mansion. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."

Duan Chaofeng said.

"Okay!"

Xu Ning nodded.

"Brother Zhang, rest well. I hope that the next time I see you, you have already broken through to the dao realm seventh stage."

Xu Ning turned his head and said to Zhang He.

Zhang He had been affected by the previous battle and suffered quite a few injuries. He had not completely recovered yet.

"I will try my best."

Zhang He smiled.

Xu Ning did not stay any longer. He rode on a peak mid level dao realm demon beast given to him by Duan Chaofeng and flew towards the distant horizon.

Xu Ning had not yet achieved true flight. Only with the help of a flying demon beast would his speed be faster.

Duan Chaofeng looked over at the distant horizon where Xu Ning had disappeared. He stood there for a long time before returning to the mansion with Zhang He.

Xu Ning did not deliver the news to Gu Songying to let him come and fetch him to the Core Sea Demon Sect according to their previous agreement. Instead, he took the initiative to find Gu Songying.

The reason for this was because he needed to return to the Swallow Heron Sect in the middle of his journey.

After staying at the Swallow Heron Sect for a while and making some arrangements, Xu Ning left again. When Xu Ning arrived at State Fengling and found Gu Songying, Gu Songying was overjoyed. Since Xu Ning had agreed to join the Core Sea Demon Sect, as the person who referred him to the sect, Gu Songying would also be rewarded by the sect.

Therefore, Gu Songying gave up all his work and immediately rushed to the Core Sea Demon Sect with Xu Ning.

The location of the Core Sea Demon Sect was very close to the imperial capital. After learning about the relationship between the Core Sea Demon Lord and the Duan royal family's grandmaster, Xu Ning did not find it strange.

"We're here!"

Xu Ning and Gu Songying were both riding on the same flying demon beast.

The Core Sea Demon Sect was located on an inland island surrounded by lakes.

"Are we going in on a demon beast like this?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Yes."

Gu Songying responded, "The internal affairs of the Core Sea Demon Sect are actually very relaxed. You can control beasts and fly freely in the sect, there are no restrictions about this."

"Although the Core Sea Demon Sect is a huge sect, the management of the sect is not strict. In addition to providing resources regularly and teaching knowledge, the Core Sea Demon Sect does not have much contact with the disciples of the sect."

"Many disciples are actually enjoying the resources of the Core Sea Demon Sect, but have been drifting outside for a long time."

reso

Gu Songying described the situation of the Core Sea Demon Sect to Xu Ning.

"All of them are wandering outside? Wouldn't they be enjoying the benefits of the sect and providing nothing in return?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"The sect doesn't need any returns."

There was a hint of pride in Gu Songying's tone when he said this.

Xu Ning remembered the Core Sea Demon Lord's resume.

Indeed, the reason why he established the Core Sea Demon Sect was not to expand his sect, but to pass down his knowledge.

"But if this is the case, if the disciples don't give back to the sect, then where does such a huge sect get their resources from?"

Xu Ning felt that even if the Core Sea Demon Lord was backed by the Duan royal family, they would not supply the resources of the Duan royal family to the Core Sea Demon Sect.

"A portion of it comes from the exchange of martial arts resources. As an external deacon, I am responsible for this."

Gu Songying shook his head. "As for the other sect's resources, the Sect Master and elders are responsible for that."

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded silently.

Afterwards, they rode a flying demon beast and entered the island.

"How is this a sect?"

Xu Ning looked down from the sky.

On this vast island, the buildings were arranged like villages in the outskirts, with people living in them.

Xu Ning discovered that there were not only powerful martial arts masters on this island, but also ordinary people.

Judging from this lifestyle, this place did not seem like a sect at all, but a large settlement.

"Doesn't look like it, right?"

Gu Songying said, "Disciples of the Core Sea Demon Sect can travel around and not return to the sect. Similarly, they can also bring their wives and children to settle on the island. There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Core Sea Demon Sect, but the population on this island is more than two hundred thousand. Moreover, most of the disciples are outside the island, so these people are all relatives of the disciples."

"Interesting!"

Xu Ning revealed a smile. Although it was called a demonic sect, the interior of the sect was full of the atmosphere of the mortal world.

Xu Ning, who was born in a village, had a good impression of this environment.

Xu Ning even thought that if he advanced to the high level of the dao realm, he could even bring his family here.

His family would definitely be able to get used to this kind of environment.

"Brother Xu, let's find Elder Wei. He is in charge of the entry arrangements for seed disciples."

Gu Songying led Xu Ning to a village.

There were men, women, old people, and children in the village, all busy with their own tasks.

After seeing Xu Ning and Gu Songying's flying demon beast land, they just glanced sideways and ignored them.

Obviously, they were used to this scene.

After ordering the flying demon beast to wait, Gu Songying brought Xu Ning to a farmhouse.

"Elder Wei is inside. He is the head of the Wei family."

Gu Songying reminded Xu Ning.

After entering the farmhouse, there was an old farmer wearing a hat. He was carrying a hoe and churning the soil in the ground.

Xu Ning glanced at it and noticed that the soil was not planted with spirit medicine or spirit plants, but ordinary vegetables.

"Elder Wei!"

Gu Songying bowed respectfully to the old farmer.

The old farmer looked up, revealing his wrinkled face.

He didn't look like a dao realm master at all.

"Who are you?"

The old farmer glanced at Gu Songying.

There were too many people in the Core Sea Demon Sect, so he had no impression of a small character like Gu Songying.

"I am Gu Songying, an external deacon of the sect assigned to State Fengling."

Gu Songying did not hesitate at all and quickly explained his intentions. "I came here to recommend a disciple with a seed token."

"A disciple with a seed token?"

The old farmer threw away the hoe and took off his hat.

"Greetings, Elder Wei."

Xu Ning bowed.

He could feel that this ordinary-looking Elder Wei was a genuine dao realm eighth stage master.

"Where is the token?"

The old farmer asked.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took out the black bead he had obtained from the Core Sea Demon Lord's mystic realm in the Abyss North and personally handed it to the old farmer.

The old farmer took it, looked at it, and nodded. "Yes, it's a seed token."

"This seed token should be from abroad."

The old farmer did not return the seed token to Xu Ning, instead he put it away.

"Indeed, I am from the Abyss North."

Xu Ning responded.

"Take this."

The old farmer gave Xu Ning a black iron token.

After Xu Ning took it, he looked at it and saw that there was no mark on the black iron token.

Report chapter

Chapter 298 Breaking Through the Core Sea Tower

"As a newcomer, with this token in hand, you need to go to the Core Sea Tower."

The old farmer Elder Wei said to Xu Ning.

"Core Sea Tower?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. "The Core Sea Tower is in the center of the island. With this token, you can enter."

Elder Wei said, "After you go in, try your best to ascend to the higher floors. The higher you ascend, the greater your assessment will be. It will be beneficial to you."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning nodded. "Thank you, Elder Wei." "You should know what the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect mean, right?"

Elder Wei asked.

"I'm clear."

Xu Ning responded.

"The seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect are the core elites of the entire sect. In the next three to ten years, one of you will definitely be selected to become the new sect master and elders of the Core Sea Demon Sect, becoming the new pillars of this huge sect."

Elder Wei said, "Although you have just arrived, you have to be prepared to compete with your full strength. Don't give up the competition with other seeds just because your realm is low."

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard someone say that his realm was low. However, Xu Ning did not care much about this.

As long as there was enough energy, it was not difficult for Xu Ning to advance his realm.

"Thank you, Elder Wei, for your reminder."

Xu Ning thanked him again. "Gu Songying…" Elder Wei glanced at Gu Songying.

"Elder Wei."

Gu Songying quickly responded respectfully.

"You have performed a meritorious service in receiving a seed. In the future, you don't have to be an external deacon, just become an internal deacon of the island. As for the specific arrangements and the other resources, you can just wait for the sect's arrangements." Elder Wei's words made Gu Songying smile. "Thank you, Elder Wei!"

One of the important reasons why Gu Songying took the initiative to welcome Xu Ning was to receive this sect reward.

He didn't have outstanding aptitude, and now that he had reached his current realm, he had been suffering.

Now that he was an internal deacon, it was equivalent to an increase in status in the sect. With this increase in status, he could obtain more resources and opportunities.

"Okay, go to the Core Sea Tower."

Elder Wei waved at Xu Ning and picked up his hoe again.

"Yes."

Xu Ning and Gu Songying walked out of the small courtyard side by side. "Brother Xu, no, Junior Brother Xu, I have benefited from you."

Gu Songying was very happy. "Now that I have become an internal deacon of the sect, I will be stationed on the island of the sect for a long time. If you have any orders, you can call me at any time."

Gu Songying tried to get closer to Xu Ning bit by bit.

Part of the reason why he was Xu Ning's guide was to obtain the sect reward, and the other part of the reason was to suck up to Xu Ning. When Xu Ning's status improved in the future, he would also benefit.

"In that case, I would have to trouble you, Brother Gu."

Xu Ning thanked him.

Now that he was a newcomer, he was unfamiliar with all aspects of the sect. With Gu Songying's help, he would be much more relaxed.

"No trouble, no trouble at all."

Gu Songying chuckled.

At this point, he was completely relying on Xu

Ning.

Suddenly, Gu Songying thought of his cousin Ding Bo.

If it weren't for Ding Bo taking the initiative to get into a conflict with the Source Sect, he wouldn't have had such a relationship with Xu Ning

"Junior Brother Xu, I will be responsible for finding a place for you to live on the island and dealing with some trivial matters when you enter the sect. You just go to the Core Sea Tower first and get down to business."

Gu Songying said.

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

Afterwards, Xu Ning rode a flying demon beast and went to the Core Sea Tower at the center of the island.

While riding a demon beast in the air, Xu Ning came across a high level dao realm master and other flying demon beasts.

'Is that the Core Sea Tower?'

Following Gu Songying's directions, Xu Ning saw an island in the middle of the island.

On the island, there was a tall black building.

Xu Ning carefully counted and figured out that there were a total of twelve floors.

Looking down from the sky, there was no one on the middle island of the Core Sea Tower.

None of the other people who passed by the lake outside the island approached.

Obviously, this Core Sea Tower should be considered a special area of the Core Sea Demon Sect. Under normal circumstances, others were prohibited from approaching this place.

"Go down."

Xu Ning rode the demon beast and stopped at the lake.

For safety reasons, Xu Ning decided to go to the island alone.

He stepped on the lake and rushed towards the island.

People passing by saw Xu Ning, and many of them stopped.

"Another seed has come."

"I wonder how high this seed will ascend?"

"He definitely won't exceed the sixth level. The strength of this seed doesn't seem to be in the high level of the dao realm."

Some of the people who stopped were disciples of the Core Sea Demon Sect, while some were relatives of the disciples who were here.

Although their realms were different, they all gathered together to watch the show and were chatting enthusiastically.

Xu Ning walked on the lake and arrived on the island.

"There's no guide?'

Xu Ning looked around and saw that there were no elders, disciples, or guards stationed at the Core Sea Tower. He didn't know how to enter the Core Sea Tower.

Suddenly, Xu Ning felt the area above his head turn dark.

He didn't know when but a big black bird appeared and circled above Xu Ning's head.

The black bird flapped its wings and landed in front of Xu Ning. 'This black bird looks familiar…'

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that when he was in the Core Sea Demon Lord's inheritance mystic realm in the Abyss North, he had seen a similar black bird. It was the black bird that had passed the Core Sea Pill Sutra to Xu Ning and had given him a seed token.

However, the black bird back then was only the size of two palms, while the black bird in front of him was nearly two meters tall.

"Eh?"

Before Xu Ning could speak, the black bird showed a human-like expression of surprise.

It glanced back and forth at Xu Ning.

Then, it landed on his two claws and circled Xu Ning a few times, its movements looking quite comical.

"Aren't you the guy who obtained the Core Sea Pill Sutra from the Abyss North?"

The black bird asked in disbelief.

"Huh?"

When Xu Ning heard this, he suddenly realized that this black bird seemed to be related to the black bird in the Abyss North.

"Yes, Senior, I obtained the inheritance of the Core Sea Pill Sutra in the Abyss North three years ago."

Xu Ning responded.

"Your growth speed is truly fast! I remember that you were only in the high level void realm back then, but now you are in the dao realm sixth stage."

The expression and tone of this black bird were exactly the same as the black bird back in the inheritance of the Abyss North.

The black bird clicked its tongue, stretched out its black wings, and patted Xu Ning's shoulder.

"Not bad, not bad! You are indeed a good seedling I discovered."

When the black bird noticed Xu Ning's confusion, it patted its chest with its wings and explained to Xu Ning, "Don't be surprised why I know you so well. What you saw in the Abyss North was my clone."

"Clone?"

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of such an ability.

'Is that the bloodline power of this demon beast?'

Xu Ning thought to himself. He had never heard of a human master, even after reaching the ninth stage of the dao realm, having the ability to create clones.

The black bird seemed to have heard Xu Ning's thoughts. It raised its head smugly. "My cloning ability is unique. Even apex demon beasts don't have my ability."

"Senior is amazing."

Xu Ning praised casually when he saw the black bird being so smug. The black bird enjoyed this.

At the same time, Xu Ning searched for the name of demon beasts with this ability in his mind.

However, Xu Ning did not receive an answer.

When Xu Ning was in the Harmony King Mansion, he had read a lot of books in the mansion and gained a lot of knowledge about rare demon beasts.

But even so, Xu Ning knew nothing about this black bird.

Xu Ning inferred that this black bird should be some kind of mutated demon beast.

"That's right, you are here to challenge the Core Sea Tower…"

The black bird slapped its head and returned to the main topic.

"Give me the token."

The black bird said.

Xu Ning handed the unmarked token to the black bird.

"Name?"

The black bird asked.

"Xu Ning." Xu Ning said.

"Which Xu, which Ning?"

The black bird asked again.

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

Afterwards, the black bird activated its bloodline power, and Xu Ning's name appeared on the plate.

'So the black bird is the one who records the information of one's identity…'

Xu Ning thought.

"Okay, go in." The black bird did not return the token to Xu Ning immediately. "When you come out, I will return this token to you."

"Yes."

wer.

Xu Ning walked to the Core Sea Tower. Whoosh! As soon as he walked over, the door of the Core Sea Tower opened. It was pitch black inside, even Xu Ning couldn't see what was inside.

"With your strength, passing the sixth level is not difficult. But when you reach the seventh level, the difficulty will greatly increase. Try your best to pass."

Perhaps because it had a good impression of Xu Ning, before Xu Ning entered the Core Sea Tower, the black bird kindly reminded him.

"Thank you, Senior."

Xu Ning stepped in.

Boom!

The gates of the Core Sea Tower closed.

'This kid's speed of improvement is really fast… From the void realm to the core transformation realm in three years, this speed seems to be unmatched by any seed… He really might be able to compete for the position of the Demon Lord…'

The black bird muttered to itself.

At this moment, Xu Ning had already entered the Core Sea Tower.

When the gates of the Core Sea Tower closed, the darkness inside disappeared, and everything could be seen clearly. In front of Xu Ning was an empty floor.

This floor was more than a thousand square meters, and it was twenty meters high.

Whoosh…

As soon as Xu Ning looked around, a figure materialized in front of him.

It was a black-colored metal humanoid puppet, holding a longsword. There was no aura leaking from its body. Clak! Clak!

The humanoid puppet rolled its eyes.

The dark green crystal eyes stared at Xu Ning.

Whoosh!

The puppet suddenly jumped from its spot and rushed towards Xu Ning.

'This is the assessment of the Core Sea Tower?'

Xu Ning did not panic. In his eyes, the speed of this puppet was extremely slow.

Swoosh!

Xu Ning struck out with a wave of astral qi.

Immediately, the puppet was severed from the middle and fell to the ground where it remained motionless.

Chapter 299 Surprising Everyone

'This puppet seems to be in the fourth stage of the dao realm…'

Xu Ning estimated. He didn't know if the puppet had any other tricks up its sleeves, but since he could easily deal with it, even if it had a backup plan, it might not be that powerful.

Whoosh!

The puppet that was cut off by Xu Ning turned faint before disappearing completely.

Immediately after, a set of stairs appeared on the empty floor, leading to the next floor.

Xu Ning didn't hesitate and continued to walk to the second level.

Rumble…

After reaching the second level, it was still the same environment.

As soon as Xu Ning walked forward, the same puppet condensed in front of him.

However, this time, there were six puppets.

After the puppets condensed into physical bodies, they attacked Xu Ning again without any hesitation.

Xu Ning did not immediately kill them, instead he wanted to see their true strength.

Whoosh!

The six puppets surrounded Xu Ning while sword qi flew out of their swords. "This sword qi has the same lethality as a dao realm fourth stage astral qi…'

Even though he was surrounded by six puppets, Xu Ning was still at ease.

After fighting for a while, Xu Ning saw that these puppets did not show any other trump cards, so he slashed out two more astral qi, killing all six puppets.

Just like before, the puppets disappeared and a set of stairs appeared.

"This third level can't be a bunch of puppets, right…' Xu Ning thought to himself and continued to walk up the stairs.

Sure enough, puppets appeared on the third level as well.

However, the puppet this time was a silver puppet. Its body was larger than its previous counterparts, and the weapon in its hand had changed from a longsword to a spear.

There was only one silver puppet. It held a silver spear and stabbed toward Xu Ning.

Aura condensed on the tip of the spear.

'The strength of this silver puppet is at the fifth stage of the dao realm…'

After testing it out, Xu Ning once again figured out the strength of the silver puppet.

Based on the current information, Xu Ning had figured out the pattern of changes in the strength of puppets in the Core Sea Tower.

'The first level is a single dao realm fourth stage puppet, the second level is six dao realm fourth stage puppets, and the third level is a single fifth stage dao realm puppet. In this case, the strength of the puppets will increase by one realm every odd level, and the strength of the puppets on the even level will be the same as the puppets on the previous odd level, but there will be more of them.'

sa

Whoosh!

Another gust of astral qi.

The spear-wielding silver puppet was dealt with by Xu Ning

For Xu Ning, this was no different from the previous difficulty.

Xu Ning went to the fourth level.

Sure enough, as Xu Ning expected, six silver puppets appeared on the fourth level.

In an instant, the six silver puppets were cut apart by Xu Ning again. Thus, Xu Ning went to the fifth level… the sixth level… On the sixth level, the six dark gold puppets were dealt with.

The strength of these six dark gold puppets was at the sixth stage of the dao realm.

For ordinary dao realm sixth stage masters, fighting against six enemies of the same realm would be extremely difficult, but for Xu Ning, it was not challenging at all.

'No wonder the black bird said that with my strength, I should be able to pass the sixth level, but this is just inferred from looking at my realm. It doesn't have much confidence in me passing the seventh level. This is because the seventh level puppet will have the strength of a dao realm seventh stage master.'

After figuring out the pattern, Xu Ning was more confident.

He walked towards the stairs of the seventh level.

Outside the Core Sea Tower, the Black Bird and the people outside the island were all paying attention to the Core Sea Tower.

Xu Ning didn't know that every time he climbed up a level, the level would emit a circle of light.

Thus, everyone outside knew exactly which floor Xu Ning was on.

"He passed the sixth level so quickly?" "Didn't someone say just now that this new seed hasn't reached the high level of the dao realm?"

The people outside discussed.

The black bird also raised its head.

'The duration this kid stayed on the sixth level is still the same as before?' The black bird's face was full of surprise. So he's an expert who can kill enemies above his realm! His foundation is deep enough! It seems that Xu Ning has a high chance of passing the seventh level, but the eighth level, it would…'

As the black bird was muttering in its heart, the light circle on the eighth level of the Core Sea Tower spread out again.

This meant that Xu Ning had passed the seventh level in an extremely short time and had reached the eighth level.

The black bird scratched its head with its wings. 'He seems to have stayed on the seventh level slightly longer than before, but this seems to be too fast… The eighth level shouldn't be difficult for him, but the puppets on the ninth level are comparable to the eighth stage of the dao realm. Even if he has a first-class treasure, he can't cross two realms, right?'

"However, even if he couldn't pass the ninth level, Xu Ning's potential rating must be 'high'. Before Xu Ning, there were only ten people who received the 'high' evaluation among the hundred and thirty-one seeds. Seeds are already one in a million, and those who can receive the 'high' evaluation are even rarer."

Although the black bird seemed to be exaggerating, in fact, its evaluation of seeds was extremely strict.

The black bird continued to observe the Core Sea Tower.

On the eighth level of the Core Sea Tower.

In front of Xu Ning were six spear-wielding dark gold puppets.

However, there was an azure crystal embedded in their chests.

The azure crystals could provide these dark gold puppets with simulated origin power, allowing them to have the strength of a dao realm seventh stage master.

'I have to spend more effort this time…'

Xu Ning took out the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

The use of first-class secret treasures was not prohibited in the Core Sea Tower.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xu Ning held the Flowing Cloud Piercer and rushed towards the dark gold puppets.

The azure crystals on their chests were Xu Ning's target.

Although those dark gold puppets did not have self-awareness, their combat instincts allowed them to instinctively protect the azure crystal on their chests.

"Void Walk Beast Phantom, Void Distortion!"

Xu Ning used his origin technique again.

After a while, Xu Ning finally killed all six puppets in fifteen minutes.

'The puppets on the next level are at the eighth stage of the dao realm…'

Looking at the stairs that appeared on the floor, Xu Ning finally had a serious look on his face.

The eighth stage of the dao realm, the origin connection realm, could already allow one to connect to the origin power, giving one the ease of using origin power throughout a battle.

This would be a huge challenge for Xu Ning.

After making preparations, Xu Ning went to the ninth level.

Outside.

"He's on the ninth level!"

"How is this possible? He actually passed the eighth level guarded by several dao realm seventh stage puppets!" "This new seed's evaluation is definitely 'high'!"

"If he can pass the ninth level, then his evaluation should be 'extreme', right?"

"How is it possible to pass the ninth level? Currently, in the Core Sea Demon Sect, only two seeds have the 'extreme' evaluation, and those two are the most likely to become the new leader!"

"True, the ninth level is a puppet guard at the eighth stage of the dao realm. No matter how powerful this new seed is, he can't cross two realms in a row, right?"

In the Core Sea Tower.

The ninth level.

It was still a spear-wielding dark gold puppet, but this time, there were three blue crystals embedded in the chest of the dark gold puppet.

A dark gold puppet with three blue crystals was more than three times stronger than a puppet with only one crystal.

"Ha!"

This time, Xu Ning took the lead to attack. He really felt tremendous pressure boring down on him.

This kind of pressure was similar to when he fought against Liu Yi.

The Flowing Cloud Piercer entered the void. When it appeared again, Xu Ning used the Void Distortion of the Void Beast, dealing double the damage to the dark gold puppet.

At this moment, Xu Ning's strongest technique, Night Weaver, was useless because this battle puppet had no sensory perception.

Bang!

Sure enough, after combining the two moves, one of the azure crystals on the chest of the dark gold puppet shattered, leaving two azure crystals intact.

After succeeding once, Xu Ning attacked continuously.

The collision between the two created huge shockwaves, but when the shockwaves touched the ground and the walls, they were completely absorbed.

There were no signs of damage on the tower. 'It's a little difficult…'

Xu Ning felt that he was reaching his limit.

Xu Ning used this opportunity to figure out his true strength.

He could barely fight against a master who had just entered the eighth stage of the dao realm, but if the opponent was stronger than that, it would be difficult for him to win.

However, Xu Ning did not give up.

Bang!

With his rich combat experience, Xu Ning shattered another azure crystal. As a result, the puppet that was left with one azure crystal was no longer Xu Ning's opponent. It was pierced through the chest and beheaded by Xu Ning's Flowing Cloud Piercer.

'This level is so difficult to pass…' Xu Ning rested on the spot and did not immediately go upstairs.

Xu Ning knew very well that he couldn't pass the tenth level no matter what.

This was not him underestimating himself, but the fact was right in front of him.

A puppet embedded with three azure crystals was already so difficult to defeat, let alone six.

However, Xu Ning still walked to the tenth level.

But this time, after persevering for fifteen minutes, when Xu Ning's life was in danger, he was immediately ejected out from the Core Sea Tower by an invisible force.

"He is out!"

"He actually lasted so long on the tenth level!" ""Extreme', this person's evaluation must be 'extreme'!'

Everyone who had been observing Xu Ning had different expressions.

Everyone was amazed by Xu Ning's potential.

After all, they could occasionally see battles with one person crossing one realm, but battles with someone crossing two realms were rare. Even the other two 'extreme' seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect had only crossed a floor higher than their own strength, but because their realm was higher, they were evaluated as 'extreme'.

But this new seed had actually crossed two realms.

Everyone knew very well that another powerful seed was about to rise in the Core Sea Demon Sect.

And he was the newcomer!

Chapter 300 Dao Realm Seventh Stage, Elementary Origin Realm

"Xu Ning, how did you defeat an origin connection realm puppet with your core transformation realm strength?"

As soon as Xu Ning was ejected from the Core Sea Tower, the black bird leaned over with its head.

Xu Ning tilted his head subconsciously. "I have a first-class secret treasure, and I borrowed the help of external forces."

"It's nothing to rely on external forces. Which high level dao realm master doesn't have a secret treasure? It's just that this is the first time I've seen someone fight with a gap of two realms."

Xu Ning's performance had shocked the black bird.

"With your strength and foundation, if you can grow quickly in these few years, you will definitely be able to stand out among all the seeds and obtain the favor of the Sect Master."

The black bird returned Xu Ning's token to him.

Xu Ning took it and noticed that in addition to his name, there was the word "extreme" on it.

"Senior, is this 'extreme' my evaluation?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Yes."

The black bird nodded. "Extreme' is the highest evaluation for seed potential. Take this token and go to the Resource Hall to find the elders there. Not only will you obtain another first-class secret treasure that belongs to you, but you will also receive a quota of resources every half a year. Moreover, as a disciple evaluated as 'extreme', you can freely use many of the sect's martial arts resources."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning cupped his fists towards the black bird. "Thank you, Senior."

The black bird nodded in satisfaction at Xu Ning's polite behavior.

"Go, you are now an official disciple of the Core Sea Demon Sect. Perform well, don't disappoint me."

The black bird said a few words of encouragement, forcefully displaying the demeanor of a master.

"How should I address Senior?"

Xu Ning did not leave, instead he asked the black bird.

Xu Ning could sense that although this black bird was quite eccentric, its strength was unfathomable.

With Xu Ning's current realm, he couldn't figure out the strength of this black bird.

Moreover, this black bird had the qualifications to determine the evaluations of the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect, so its status was definitely extraordinary.

"This…"

The black bird did not respond immediately.

It looked a little hesitant.

"My name is Mo Yu, you can call me Master Yu."

The black bird hesitated for a while before speaking

"In this case, Master Yu, I will take my leave first."

Although Xu Ning didn't understand why the black bird was stammering, he still bowed and left the island.

Mo Yu looked at Xu Ning's back and flapped its wings.

Every time its name was asked, Mo Yu would remember the extremely casual name given to him by the Core Sea Demon Lord three hundred years ago. "It's completely black, and the hatched eggshell is also black. Let's call you Black Egg."

As its unspeakable past flooded back into its mind, Black Bird Mo Yu thought to itself, it must not let outsiders know its original name.

On the other side, when Xu Ning walked out of the lake, he saw many people standing by the lake.

After seeing him walk out, they all looked at him with different expressions.

But most of them were looking at him with fervent expressions.

'Could it be that they also know the process of me ascending the Core Sea Tower?'

Xu Ning didn't know that every time he climbed up a level, the tower outside would emit the corresponding light.

Xu Ning continued to walk forward, and the crowd automatically made way for him.

"Junior Brother Xu!"

As soon as Xu Ning walked out, he saw Gu Songying welcoming him. "I heard that you passed the ninth level of the Core Sea Tower and reached the tenth level. Is this true?"

As soon as Gu Songying finished making the arrangements, he came to the Core Sea Tower to wait for Xu Ning.

"That's right."

Xu Ning nodded.

"Then is your evaluation level 'extreme'?"

Gu Songying asked again.

At this moment, the crowd was also staring at Xu Ning.

"Yes."

Xu Ning affirmed.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Although they expected Xu Ning to receive the "extreme" evaluation, everyone was still shocked to see another "extreme" disciple appear.

The other two "extreme" disciples of the Core Sea Demon Sect were both in the eighth stage of the dao realm, and they were the strongest candidates to compete for the position of sect master.

The mentioned two were the third prince of the Duan royal family, Duan Chaomian, and the other top genius female disciple, Yu Qiao.

Hearing the answer, Gu Songying resisted the urge to laugh. He had bet on the right treasure.

"Come, Junior Brother Xu, I have arranged a place for you to stay. I will take you to see it."

Gu Songying currently looked like Xu Ning's butler.

"I have to go to the Resource Hall first."

Xu Ning said. "Yes, to the Resource Hall first, I will take you there."

Gu Songying took the initiative to lead the way for Xu Ning. After Xu Ning left, the crowd gradually dispersed.

As the news spread, Xu Ning's name was known by more and more people on the entire island where the Core Sea Demon Sect was located.

On the island.

At a riverside villa.

"Your Highness."

Inside the villa, a man who looked like a guard entered the loft.

In front of him was a man with a natural awe-inspiring face.

He was wearing a golden robe, giving off an inexplicable aura of domination.

"Your Highness, another seed disciple came to the sect. He went to the Core Sea Tower and was evaluated as 'extreme'."

The guard said.

"Extreme'?"

A look of surprise appeared on Third Prince Duan Chaomian's face.

"That person is only in the dao realm sixth stage, but he passed the ninth level of the Core Sea Tower and was ejected when he reached the tenth level."

The guard added.

"Breaking through to the tenth level with his core transformation realm cultivation base?"

Duan Chaomian suddenly stood up. He was even more surprised. "That person has strength comparable to a origin connection realm in the core transformation realm?"

"Where is he from?"

Duan Chaomian asked.

"I haven't found out yet, I only know that his name is Xu Ning."

The guard responded.

"Xu Ning…"

As a prince of the Duan family, Duan Chaomian knew of all the geniuses in the world, but he had never heard of Xu Ning.

"Go and investigate him."

Duan Chaomian waved his sleeves.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guard quickly left.

'Where did such a person come from…'

Duan Chaomian narrowed his eyes.

In Duan Chaomian's eyes, apart from Yu Qiao and a few relatively threatening seeds, he didn't care about the other seed disciples. With his status and strength, Duan Chaomian was confident that he could win the seed competition.

But now, there was another uncertainty, which made Duan Chaomian a little uncomfortable.

'It seems like I have to speed up my cultivation.'

Duan Chaomian thought to himself, 'If I can break through to the ninth stage of the dao realm, then my advantage will be overwhelming when facing the other seeds.'

After thinking about it, Duan Chaomian entered the sealed room and began to comprehend the origin again. Only by achieving the connection between his origin and his ultimate consciousness and true spirit could he break through the shackles of the dao realm eighth stage.

On the other side, Yu Qiao, the other seed with the "extreme" evaluation, also knew of Xu Ning's existence. "Xu Ning…"

Yu Qiao muttered Xu Ning's name with a thoughtful expression on her face.

'Now that Sect Master is about to let go of the reins, a large number of seed disciples have begun to reveal their talents, and their strength has greatly increased recently. Moreover, such a genius has appeared. How interesting…' A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yu Qiao's lips.

While Xu Ning was being discussed by everyone, he had already returned from the Resource Hall.

After the two elders in the Resource Hall learned that Xu Ning was the new "extreme" seed, they sized him up for a long time.

Afterwards, they provided some resources for Xu Ning

Xu Ning received half a year's worth of resources in one go.

Xu Ning counted. These resources, pills, and spirit herbs actually had more than 12 million units of energy.

Although he was evaluated as "extreme", this was too much.

If these resources were taken to the outside world, they could build a middle-sized sect out of thin air, and this was only half a year's worth of resources.

In addition, Xu Ning also received a first-class secret treasure as a reward, but the few first-class secret treasures in the Resource Hall were all offensive in nature. They were very similar to the Flowing Cloud Thorn.

If Xu Ning obtained another similar treasure, it would not be beneficial to him.

Therefore, Xu Ning did not immediately claim his secret treasure. He planned to wait until the Resource Hall had other types of first-class treasures before claiming one for himself.

After returning from the Resource Hall, Gu Songying led Xu Ning to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Although the place was not big, Xu Ning liked the style of this small courtyard.

He chose to go into seclusion and absorb the latest batch of resources he received, obtaining 12 million units of energy.

After this, Xu Ning's energy reserves had reached 33 million units.

This was enough for Xu Ning to break through to the dao realm seventh stage elementary origin realm. 'Let's get ready to advance…"

Xu Ning was looking forward to it. He was only in the core transformation realm, but he already could fight against a high level dao realm master who had just entered the elementary origin realm. If he advanced to the dao realm watershed, the elementary origin realm, then no one in the origin connection realm would be his opponent.

Xu Ning opened the Martial Arts Panel.

Consume 30 million units of energy to advance your realm?

Yes / No

After choosing "yes", Xu Ning suddenly sensed a mysterious power between heaven and earth.

He seemed to have established a connection with this power.

'Origin power…'

For the first time, Xu Ning felt true origin power.

In the past, Xu Ning, who had learned an origin technique, had only imitated the power of origin by using the power of the dao realm.

Xu Ning had a strange feeling.

"This origin power seems to be able to give birth to everything…'

This was what Xu Ning felt most deeply. "The so-called martial arts cultivation is the process of communicating with nature and origin power…' Xu Ning gradually understood the true meaning of this sentence. At this moment, Xu Ning's inner core had absorbed a trace of origin power.

A faint and hazy breath appeared on the surface of Xu Ning's inner core.

'Dao realm seventh stage, elementary origin realm, success.'

Xu Ning stood in place, but he seemed to be one with the world.

Xu Ning's strength had undergone a qualitative change after obtaining the boost of origin power.

'Next, I will use the remaining 3 million units of energy to advance the Core Sea Pill Sutra.'
