I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

by Stayrr

Chu Xuan transmigrated to a fantasy world and became the young master of a powerful family. He was rebuked for misbehaving just because he sneezed during a banquet. As punishment, he was banished from the ancestral mansion and was relocated to a remote residence. He did not mind the punishment at all. He just needed a spot that could allow him to be a shut-in. With the system that

Chapter 61: The Rise Of The Great Qin Dynasty

Bring Chu Yuan back?

Chu Xuan could not help but shake his head. If Chu Yuan really came back, it was unlikely that things would end well for him.

It would be strange if Chu Tianming did not curse him to death instead.

Qin Keyun naturally did not dare to make things difficult for him, but the Chu family's situation was naturally quite awkward because of this.

He sent an order to Wan Chang and instructed him to reject this commission.

"You won't accept it?"

Chu Tianming was stunned. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the Black Moon Tower did not accept a commission.

"Why not? It shouldn't be too difficult for you to capture someone. Your Black Moon Tower won't even accept such a simple mission?"

Wan Chang said indifferently, "Brother Chu, we can accept it. It's just that your Chu family can't afford it. I'm doing this for your own good."

"My Chu family can't afford it?"

Chu Tianming laughed angrily, "It's just a request to capture a person, and the target is a direct descendant of my Chu family. No matter how strong he may have become, there's no way he's surpassed the void realm. Why can't my Chu family afford it?"

The first thing that came to mind was that the Chu family was being ostracized, and that even the Black Moon Tower did not value the Chu family and treated them lightly.

Chu Yuan's talent was indeed outstanding, but how long had it been?

At best, he had broken through to the void realm.

How could the Chu family not be able to afford to commission a simple request like this?

Wan Chang sighed and said, "If you insist on going forward with it, we can accept it. The price is an emperor-level weapon."

"What?! Emperor-level weapon?"

Chu Tianming's eyes widened. Was it because the Black Moon Tower was too black-hearted, or was it because Wan Chang himself was too black-hearted?

In the entire Southern Region, there were only a few forces that might have Emperor-level weapons, but the Chu family was definitely not one of them.

On the other hand, the head of the Qin family, Qin Keyun, controlled an Emperor-level weapon. He did not know where it came from. Perhaps itwas the inheritance of the Qin family.

However, that still did not alter the fact that the Chu family did not have one!

Even if the Chu family had an emperor weapon, they would never take it out and use it to pay the Black Moon Tower to capture someone.

"See, I already said that your Chu family couldn't afford it."

Wan Chang sighed. Looking at Chu Tianming, whose face was alternating between green and white and was about to explode in anger, he said, "Brother Chu, it's not that I want to embarrass you. It's just that the place where your grandson is right now is a little special."

"How special?"

Chu Tianming did not believe that there was anything that special which would require an emperor weapon to capture someone.

"There is no key to this ancient mystic realm. No one can enter unless they are at the peak of the truth realm and are protected by an emperor-level weapon," Wan Chang said calmly, "If we're asked to capture someone in such a special place, wouldn't the price of an emperor-level weapon be appropriate?"

"Forget it."

Chu Tianming sighed, and his face was dejected.

It seemed that ever since his third son, Chu Qiuluo, broke off his marriage engagement and went missing, the Chu family's situation had been getting worse and worse.

"Is there any news about Qiuluo?"

Wan Chang shook his head, "The Black Moon Tower also has no news about third young master."

Chu Tianming became momentarily silent, after which he sighed and left.

Wan Chang did not lie to Chu Tianming. Chu Yuan was indeed hiding in an ancient mystic realm.

Chu Xuan looked at the report and frowned. Was Chu Yuan hiding from other enemies, or was he hiding from the Chu family and Qin Keyun?

Since Chu Yuan was hiding and was in no danger of being caught, Chu Xuan could not be bothered to pay attention to him.

On the other hand, Chu Yun had already traveled to the territory of the Nine Swords Mountain.

The Nine Swords Mountain was a huge faction in the Southern Region which was no weaker than the Great Qian Dynasty.

It was one of the three sects of the Southern Region.

The two empires referred to the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court. In fact, the evil imperial court was different from a normal empire, though it was still considered one.

It was an empire of heretic cultivators.

The three sects were the Nine Swords Mountain, the number one sect in the Southern Region, the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain and the Floating Flower Pavilion.

The three sects and two empires represented the top forces in the Southern Region.

Chu Xuan was not worried about Chu Yun's safety. She was being secretly protected by a truth realm expert, as well as a wisp of his own emperor-level power.

After refining pills, Chu Yun's cultivation speed became extremely fast. She was already at the third level of the spirit realm.

She could already refine the void unity pill.

Her talent in refining pills was unexpectedly outstanding.

"Sir, Qin Keyun has annexed the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Su Xian'er sorted out the information sent over by the Black Moon Tower and picked out the ones that Chu Xuan would be interested in.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. Qin Keyun's actions were very quick and decisive. She had already annexed the Great Zhou Kingdom. Next would be the Purple Moon Kingdom.

The forces in the Southern Region were about to undergo a major reshuffling.

In the end, the situation might change to one where there were three empires and three sects in the future.

The other weak sects and forces were not worth mentioning.

The Qin royal family's foundation was too weak, and there were too few experts. Up until now, apart from Qin Keyun, there wasn't even a single truth realm expert.

The strongest expert that returned from the Great Qian Dynasty was only at the ninth level of the unity realm.

Perhaps this was due to the Great Qian Dynasty deliberately suppressing their subordinate kingdoms, to the point that there were no truth realm experts.

If the Great Qin Dynasty relied on just Qin Keyun alone, she might not be able to defend such a huge territory.

Perhaps Qin Keyun would try to rope in some truth realm experts.

Over the course of the next month, other than the Chu family being in an increasingly awkward situation and feeling gloomy about it, the Great Qin Dynasty was expanding rapidly.

The Purple Moon Kingdom had surrendered.

The Great Yan Kingdom had surrendered.

In addition, during this month, three truth realm experts had appeared in the Qin royal family.

Just yesterday, a truth realm expert had appeared in the He family as well as another in the Zhao family.

It was not possible for them to raise their cultivations to the truth realm so quickly. It was not something that could be achieved by simply cultivating arduously. They had to have used some other method.

For example, instilling!

They would instill the enlightenment and power of the truth realm directly, and raise their cultivation to the truth realm, after which they would slowly allow them to consolidate their foundations.

Although cultivators who had their strength raised this way would be slightly weaker, they would still be bona fide truth realm cultivators. It would not be a problem for them to crush those in the unity realm.

Chu Tianming's roar could be heard from the ancestral mansion every now and then.

Chu Xuan was worried that this cheap grandpa would be so angry that his blood vessels would explode and cause him to die.

Chu Xuan was not surprised to see the Qin family cultivate a truth realm expert so quickly. After all, for ninth-level unity realm cultivators, as long as they had enough pills to break through the bottleneck, they would be able to do so within a short period of time.

Since Qin Keyun had appeared, the Qin family's foundation would naturally be fully unearthed and utilized.

However, Chu Xuan was surprised to find that the He and Zhao families also had truth realm experts.

In ancient times, the ancestors of the Chu, Zhao, and He families were the trusted aides of the Great Qin Emperor, and they were all quite powerful.

Perhaps all three families had some of their resources passed down?

Had Qin Keyun helped the Zhao and He families unearth their resources?

The strength of the three great families had almost been equal not too long ago, but now the Chu family was being left behind.

The expressions of everyone in the Chu family were ugly.

Chu Tianming's face was dark all day long.

Many people were blaming Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan's father, Chu Qiufeng, had already gone to hide somewhere in Chu County. He did not dare to stay in the ancestral residence.

Chu Tianming had already beaten him up a few times, so Chu Qiufeng had become afraid.

He felt wronged in his heart. His son had followed his third brother since he was young, and all of his abilities had been taught to his son by his third brother. How could Chu Tianming blame him for this?

He had no idea that his son would learn from his third brother and ruin his marriage engagement.

The Great Qin Dynasty had annexed many countries, and the Great Qian Dynasty had taken action as well, asking all of the countries to submit.

Soon, only an ungoverned region was left behind, which became the buffer zone between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty. All of the other countries were annexed.

The Southern Region's factions had been reshuffled!

The Great Qin Dynasty had risen too quickly and lacked resources. After annexing such a large territory, it would be impossible for Qin Keyun to defend it all by herself.

Whether it was the Great Qian Dynasty or the evil imperial court, they all made some moves.

The heretic cultivators at the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty became more and more active.

Report chapter

Chapter 62: Situation

The territories that the Great Qin Dynasty annexed intersected with the borders of the other major forces, resulting in unrest and conflict.

Heretic cultivators and itinerant cultivators frequently caused trouble in those areas.

Many of the experts that the Great Qin Dynasty had sent to guard the borders were killed.

The Chu family secretly rejoiced that Chu County was currently within the core of the Great Qin Dynasty and not near the border. If not, it would be dangerous.

However, seeing the Zhao and He families rise up together with the Qin royal family made the Chu family feel even aggrieved.

The Chu family had been willing to send experts to guard the border, but Qin Keyun had declined their offer.

There was no way she would dare to allow the Chu family to take such risks.

The Great Qin Empress seemed quite angry with them. This was a slap on the face to the Chu family.

The turmoil at the border did not last long. Soon enough, a truth realm expert appeared to guard the border of the Great Qin Dynasty, killing off many troublemakers.

Nine Swords Mountain had actually stepped in to help!

The expressions of those in charge of the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court turned ugly.

The Great Qin Dynasty had risen too quickly. Qin Keyun, the Empress, was even more powerful than their most powerful experts; she had almost reached the Emperor realm.

Were it not for the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court's deep foundations, their territories would have been swallowed up by her as well.

How did she get the support of Nine Swords Mountain?

Or was she cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain?

Chu Xuan looked at the information in front of him.

It was within his expectations that Nine Swords Mountain would make a move.

After all, Qin Keyun's father, the one who married into the Qin royal family, was the great elder of Nine Swords Mountain!

Hong Fei!

He was a top-notch genius of Nine Swords Mountain a hundred years ago.

His current strength had already reached the peak of the truth realm.

When he married into the Qin royal family, he had already been a truth realm expert.

"Interesting."

Hong Fei was old enough to be Qin Pingxia's father, but he had actually married into the Qin royal family.

What was even more surprising was that no one in the Qin family knew that Qin Pingxia's husband was actually the great elder of Nine Swords Mountain.

Since Qin Keyun had been born from their union, it was not hard to figure out that Hong Fei's marriage had been actually arranged by Qin Keyun.

Qin Keyun's Fox Demon soul had been sleeping in the Qin family's ancestral land this entire time. It was likely that Qin Pingxia had received instructions from Qin Keyun while cultivating in the Qin family's ancestral land.

Was Nine Swords Mountain the Great Qin Emperor's trump card?

Or was it just a faction that supported the Great Qin Emperor?

Nine Swords Mountain had been in existence for a very long time, even longer than the Great Qian Dynasty. Its existence even predated the war with the demons.

"Things are getting more and more interesting."

Chu Xuan examined the information and sighed. The Southern Region's waters truly ran deep.

He decided that once his strength increased, he would have Du Yuan come to the Southern Region to stir things up.

After Ren Changhe escaped, he would also ask this in-name disciple of his to come to the Southern Region as well.

The latter was already at the peak of the Heaven realm and was cultivating the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal. Once he mastered it and comprehended the cycle of life and death, his strength would definitely increase by a step.

No matter what chess game was being set up in the Southern Region, he would f*cking destroy it!

He would destroy it without leaving seclusion too! This kind of feeling made him feel too f*cking cool!

If he could flip the board on such an intricate scheme, the system's reward was likely to be generous.

Thinking this, Chu Xuan's heart was filled with joy. He would let them proceed with their plans and schemes. When the right opportunity presented itself, he would flip the board.

His divine soul entered the space underneath the Chu family's ancestral residence. The last time, when he broke through to the Emperor realm, Chu Xuan had not examined this place carefully.

The Zhao and He families' strength had suddenly soared. It was obvious that they had activated some kind of inheritance.

Since the Zhao and He families possessed such an inheritance, how could the Chu family be lacking something similar?

The power of his divine soul entered the space, after which he saw balls of power floating in the space, as well as the treasured artifacts stored inside.

There was an emperor-level weapon inside.

Was this the inheritance left behind by the ancestors of the Chu family?

The floating balls of power could be instilled into cultivators above the third level of the unity realm. Within a very short period of time, they would gain enlightenment and step into the truth realm.

As expected, the reason why the Zhao and He families had so many truth realm experts so quickly was because of their own ancestors' inheritances.

According to the records, the Chu family's ancestral land was an ancient site. The Chu family had only risen up because they had excavated the ancient site.

It was likely that someone had guided the Chu family's ancestors to this ancient site.

Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment. He did not choose to reveal the Chu family's inheritance. After Chu Yun returned, he would let her do the honors.

He withdrew his divine soul power and ignored the inheritance.

In the outside world, thanks to the intervention of the Great Elder of Nine Swords Mountain, the situation had become complicated again.

After a short period of peace, another storm started brewing.

The heretic cults started to take action again. Even if the Great Qin Dynasty sent out a large number of experts, they were still unable to destroy the heretic cults.

However, as the Great Qin Dynasty continued to make use of its inheritance, they gained more and more experts. The overall situation gradually stabilized.

Things were back to square one again. Whenever the heretic cults started to cause trouble, the various factions under the Great Qin Dynasty would move to suppress them.

Apart from the heretic cults, which were supported by the evil imperial court, the Great Qian Dynasty also intervened by supporting some rebel factions, which constantly plagued and threatened the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Great Qin Dynasty had risen up too quickly, so they could only temporarily stabilize the situation. These factions were not easy to remove or destroy.

Inside the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial palace.

"Are you really not going to accept the Chu Family?" Qin Pingshan asked with a complicated tone.

Back then, when Chu Qiuluo broke off the engagement, he had seen his sister Qin Pingxia's sad and angry expression. At that time, he had been so angry that he wanted to lock Chu Qiuluo up in jail.

A generation later, Qin Keyun also had her marriage engagement with Chu Yuan broken off, which stirred up his memories from the past, enraging him.

However, he was now ecstatic that the Chu family had broken off the marriage engagement with Qin Keyun.

If Qin Keyun had married into the Chu family, would she still be considered a member of the Qin family?

After all, they were old friends with the Chu family. The four families had always been supporting each other for generations, so it was impossible for them to not have any feelings for each other.

Moreover, due to their marriage alliances, they were all related to each other.

"There's no need to pull the Chu family in. It's fine as long as we remain friends. Chu County belongs to the Chu family's territory. Treat it as an ancient family in the Great Qin Dynasty."

Qin Keyun said calmly, "Don't disturb the Chu family."

Qin Pingshan sighed in his heart. He did not know what Qin Keyun's intentions were.

If she wanted to exclude the Chu family, she might as well expel them.

However, she had to maintain a family friend and not make the Chu family submit.

It seemed like she was treating the Chu family well but, in reality, she was distancing herself from the Chu family. He could not understand her actions.

Was she still thinking about Chu Yuan?

Was that why she was so distant?

Qin Keyun had already made her decision anyway. He could not change anything. Although Qin Keyun was young, her strength was profound.

She looked like an obedient girl, but hidden beneath that facade was a ruthless and merciless character!

If he dared to disobey her, the outcome would not be pretty.

There were already two elders of the Qin family who had been imprisoned by her.

An elder of the He family who took advantage of his seniority had even been killed.

No one dared to question the Empress's decisions or disobey her orders. The entirety of the Great Qin Dynasty rested in her hands.

Her Empress token was more intimidating than the Emperor token of the Great Qian Dynasty, which resulted in her orders being carried out promptly and efficiently.

The only person who could influence Qin Keyun's decision was her mother, Qin Pingxia.

Qin Pingxia had always doted on her daughter, and had never questioned her decisions, supporting her unconditionally.

The Chu family could only do so much.

Based on the current situation of the Chu family, it was likely that they would end up as a small family.

Without unlocking their foundation and inheritance, there was no way they could develop quickly.

As the other families strode ahead, in the end, the Chu family would be left behind.

Qin Keyun's gaze was calm. In her mind, the small courtyard and the beautiful, powerful, and mysterious man inside it appeared.

The waters in the Southern Region truly ran deep.

Chapter 63: The Savior Of All Trash

The situation inside the Chu family's territory was somewhat awkward. For the time being, the Qin, Zhao and He families did not show any signs of becoming estranged from the Chu family.

However, the other three families were already one step ahead of the Chu family. Naturally, they were too embarrassed to compare themselves to the other three families now.

They could only continue to coop themselves inside Chu County and slowly develop.

Occasionally, Chu Xuan would hear Chu Tianming roar.

Chu Xuan could not be bothered with the matters of the Chu family. He did not need to rely on the Chu family anyway. Things would be fine as long as they did not come to disturb him.

After experiencing a series of events, the people of the Chu family seemed to have completely forgotten about the existence of a useless direct descendant like him.

The Zhao and He families, under the leadership of the Qin family, had all gone ahead of them and left them in the dust. This kind of disparity naturally felt very uncomfortable.

The direct descendants of the Chu family were all pent up inside and wanted nothing more than to catch up with their peers.

After all, the four families originally had similar levels of strength, with the Qin family being only slightly stronger. In the end, the Chu family was left staring at the backs of the other three families.

It would be strange if they felt good about it.

It was just like four good brothers. The other three had all made a fortune, but one was still poor.

This was especially so for one of the brothers, who had led the other two brothers to make a fortune, but had abandoned the last brother.

It was impossible for that last brother to not feel any resentment.

The situation in the Great Qin Dynasty gradually stabilized. Qin Keyun, the Great Qin Empress, had suppressed their entire territory, and had managed to keep their Southern Region counterparts in check.

Most of the countries that were annexed had surrendered, and their leaders were now important officials of the Great Qin Dynasty.

No one dared to go against Qin Keyun's imperial decrees.

After a few instances of her severely punishing, and even killing, experts who acted behind their backs, everyone knew that this young empress was vicious and merciless!

Chu Xuan continued to stay in his small courtyard. Occasionally, he would seek out Du Yuan to chat as well as give Ren Changhe some pointers on the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal.

The Myriad Heavenly Mirror would occasionally connect to other domains, allowing him to meet some cultivators.

For example, Chu Xuan would occasionally toss some benefits to a group of disciples from a certain sect who were cultivating.

Every day at noon, Su Xian'er would brief him with the information she received from the Black Moon Tower.

As such, although he did not leave seclusion, Chu Xuan had a clear grasp of the overall situation in the Southern Region.

During this period, the Sky-shaking Golden Roc had broken through to the Emperor realm, while the Heavenly Spirit Cat was on the verge of breaking through.

Su Xian'er cultivated very diligently. Other than cleaning the courtyard at fixed intervals, organizing the information from the Black Moon Tower and briefing Chu Xuan, she spent the rest of her time cultivating inside the universe space.

After being forced to flee the Central Region, Su Xian'er was filled with thoughts of revenge and anger. She deeply desired to go back and suppress the Su family once she became stronger.

She wanted to kill all those who had looked down on her, despised her, and coveted her body!

In her heart, she was somewhat envious of Qin Keyun.

Even though the Great Qin Empress had to acquiesce to Chu Xuan and obey his instructions, she was still an imposing figure to the outside world.

The three-year mark was almost up.

Chu Xuan felt quite depressed. No one with great luck had appeared during this period.

Could it be that there were so few people with great luck in this world?

One evening, as Chu Xuan was drinking tea, he was startled and his expression suddenly changed.

Outside the Chu family's territory, he sensed a 16 or 17-year-old youth with a self-deprecating look on his face. The youth was holding a jar of wine in one hand and drinking as he walked toward the small courtyard.

"Trash. Right, I'm trash. I'm trash. The kind that can't even stand the smoke of a fire!"

The youth had a dispirited look on his face.

He was clearly drunk as he muttered to himself and stumbled unsteadily forward.

His clothes were dirty and tattered, and there was a sword hanging from his waist. He looked down and out.

"Right, I'm trash. I'm not worthy of you, the favored daughter of the heavens. I thought too highly of myself. I'm trash, a big piece of trash!"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. F*ck! Could it be that every person with great luck was a piece of trash in the early stages of their life?

The young man's cultivation base was only at the first level of the profound realm. For him to be able to barge into the Chu family's territory and not be noticed by anyone on the way here was simply unbelievable. His luck was truly awesome.

The door to the courtyard was pushed open. Ding Yue staggered in and leaned against the wall, gulping down a few mouthfuls of wine.

Su Xian'er woke up from her cultivation and stepped out of the universe space. She frowned and looked at Ding Yue.

"Where did this kid come from?"

Just as she was about to chase him away, Chu Xuan waved his hand and asked her to stand aside.

Ding Yue shook the wine jar. There was no more wine.

He looked at Chu Xuan who was seated there, and then saw the pretty and delicate Su Xian'er, who dressed up as a servant. He was stunned.

He staggered over.

"Big Brother, do you have any wine here? Sell me some."

He searched his body, but did not find any money, so he took off the longsword and placed it on the table.

"I'll use this sword to pay for the wine. I won't need it in the future anyway."

Su Xian'er frowned and said, "Sir, this drunkard…"

"It's alright. Go and cultivate," Chu Xuan waved his hand and said.

Su Xian'er looked at Ding Yue in puzzlement.

Sir had not expelled him. Was this guy very talented? Did Sir want to take him in?

Curious, she stood to the side and watched instead of returning to the universe space to cultivate.

"This sword of yours is a mystic weapon. Wouldn't it be a loss to exchange it for wine?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile.

"Big Brother, I'm a good-for-nothing piece of trash. A good sword is wasted on me."

Ding Yue sat on the ground dejectedly.

"Do you know what it means to be a piece of trash? I'm a piece of trash. What use is a sword to me?"

"I can definitely tell that you're a piece of trash," Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Your whole body exudes the aura of a piece of trash. If you tell someone that you're not a good-for-nothing piece of trash, that person would not believe you."

Ding Yue cried.

Any random passerby could tell that he was a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

He had been justifiably expelled, after all.

"Not only are you a piece of trash, you were also dumped by a woman, right?"

"How did you know?" Ding Yue said in shock.

"Not only do I know that you were dumped by a woman, I also know that the woman that dumped you was also your childhood sweetheart."

"And it doesn't stop there. Not only were you dumped by your childhood sweetheart, you were also expelled by the sect."

"Also, your childhood sweetheart's new boyfriend trampled all over you and asked you to take a good look at yourself. He asked you where you managed to find the courage to think that you were worthy of such a Heaven blessed girl."

"How tragic!"

Ding Yue was shocked. "How do you know all this? Who are you?"

The seven-colored divine light bloomed all over Chu Xuan's body. He was bathed in divine light like an immortal deity.

"I am the guiding light of the lost souls, the savior of all the trash in the universe. Meeting me is the greatest opportunity of your life."

"Young man, kneel down. Kowtow and acknowledge me as your master."

Ding Yue looked at Chu Xuan, who was bathed in divine light, completely stunned.

"The savior of trash?"

"That's right, I'm the savior of trash."

Chu Xuan's voice seemed to echo from beyond the boundless Great Dao.

Ding Yue's struggle was evident on his face. Was this true or false?

Had he really encountered an opportunity? Could he really rise up?

In the end, he gritted his teeth, and his gaze turned firm.

Plop!

He knelt down.

He kowtowed and said, "Ding Yue pays his respects to Master!"

"Very good. From today onward, you will be my disciple."

The divine light on Chu Xuan's body faded as he looked at Ding Yue with great satisfaction.

He had finally accepted a disciple.

He was very optimistic about Ding Yue's talent. The youth was indeed worthy of being a person with great luck; perhaps even the luckiest person in the Southern Region.

Chapter 64: Sagemaster's Halo, Breaking Through To The Supreme Realm

With the Heavenly Secrets Origin Probing Technique, Chu Xuan could clearly see Ding Yue's background and talent.

"Ding Yue, an abandoned disciple of Nine Swords Mountain. He possesses top-notch Sword Dao talent, 'Heaven's Will Sword Pulse'. As his sword pulse has yet to be activated, his meridians are blocked and his cultivation is extremely slow. He was treated as trash and abandoned by his childhood sweetheart…"

The Nine Swords Mountain was the number one Sword Dao sect in the Southern Region.

It had a long history and was currently connected to the Great Qin Dynasty through Grand Elder Hong Fei, who was Qin Keyun's biological father.

It was one of the three sects and two empires in the Southern Region.

"You didn't leave seclusion, and a fated person from the Southern Region took you as his master. You have taken in your first disciple, who possesses top-notch Sword Dao talent. You have been rewarded with the Heaven-reaching Sword Technique."

His guess was actually correct. Ding Yue was a fated person from the Southern Region.

The fate of Nine Swords Mountain was not strong enough to hold onto this fated person.

Ding Yue's rise was now inevitable.

"Master, can you really make me strong?"

Ding Yue knelt on the ground with a look of anticipation.

"Don't doubt me," Chu Xuan said in a dignified manner, "I am the savior of all trash. Those are not empty words. Whether you are a piece of trash, or even a piece of sh*t, I can turn you into gold."

Ding Yue's mouth twitched. If he really was a piece of sh*t, he might as well kill himself.

Su Xian'er looked at Ding Yue in shock. She did not find anything special about him at all. Moreover, his meridians seemed to be somewhat blocked. They were narrower than the meridians of an ordinary cultivator.

Although he was at the first level of the profound realm, he was probably scraping the bottom of the barrel there.

He was a bona fide good-for-nothing piece of trash. Why did Sir take him in as a disciple?

Could it be that he possessed some shocking talent that she could not see?

"You possess the top-notch Sword Dao talent, 'Heaven's Will Sword Pulse', but your sword pulse is unique. Your meridians are blocked, so it's difficult for you to cultivate."

"Today, I'll activate your sword pulse."

As Chu Xuan spoke, he raised his hand and pointed a finger at Ding Yue's glabella.

Boom!

Ding Yue felt a vast power surging into his body.

Crack!

It was as if something had been mysteriously connected. He was suddenly and inexplicably enlightened.

Boom!

His cultivation, which was originally at the first level of the profound realm, began to soar.

Third level of the profound stage, fifth level of the profound stage..

Ding Yue closed his eyes and subconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground.

The spiritual power in his body surged forth, and waves of powerful energy flowed through his body. His meridians were no longer narrow and small, but instead wide and sturdy.

His comprehension of Sword Dao suddenly soared at this moment.

Many things that he had failed to comprehend about the Sword Dao in the past suddenly became clear. He even gained a new understanding of the simplest sword techniques, which allowed him to comprehend entirely new sword moves.

Su Xian'er had a shocked expression on her face. Ding Yue's strength was increasing very quickly. Within a short period of time, it had already risen to the seventh level of the profound realm.

The Aura on his body became increasingly sharp.

She did not know if what she was seeing was an illusion or not, but Ding Yue's cross-legged figure on the ground seemed to resemble a sword that had been stabbed into the ground.

If Ding Yue's strength earlier was considered at the bottom of the profound realm, his current strength could be said to be at the peak of the profound realm.

This had all happened too quickly, and the magnitude of his cultivation improvement was massive.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and moved Ding Yue into the universe space.

"You should cultivate here and comprehend the Sword Dao properly."

His voice directly entered Ding Yue's consciousness.

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

Boom!

Ding Yue's aura skyrocketed, directly breaking through from the ninth level of the profound realm to the first level of the spirit realm.

Su Xian'er opened her mouth in shock.

Was this all due to Ding Yue's shocking level of talent, or Chu Xuan's heaven-defying methods?

How much time had passed? Ding Yue actually broke through from the first level of the profound realm to the first level of the spirit realm.

The combination of Ding Yue's astonishing talent and Chu Xuan's heaven-defying methods had caused his cultivation to soar.

After breaking through to the first level of the spirit realm, Ding Yue's cultivation began to stabilize, and he did not make any further breakthroughs.

"Your disciple Ding Yue's cultivation soared rapidly under your guidance, breaking through to the spirit realm. You have been rewarded with the Sagemaster Halo and 100 years' worth of cultivation."

The system's notification rang out, which gave Chu Xuan a pleasant surprise. Ding Yue was indeed worthy of being a person with great luck; his breakthrough to the next realm had brought Chu Xuan a reward of 100 years' worth of cultivation.

Chu Xuan was now at the ninth level of the Emperor realm, and was only one step away from breaking through to the Supreme realm.

This cultivation boost reward would be enough for him to break through to the Supreme realm.

He originally thought that he would need ten years to break through to the Supreme realm, instead of the almost three years it took him now.

Chu Xuan then set a new small goal of breaking through to the Heaven realm within ten years.

He did not immediately receive the cultivation boost reward. Instead, he examined the Heaven-reaching Sword Technique he had received after taking Ding Yue as a disciple.

This was a supreme sword technique.

Moreover, it was very compatible with Ding Yue's Heaven's Will Sword Pulse.

He then turned his attention to the Sagemaster Halo.

"The Sagemaster Halo can help people comprehend the Dao. It can raise one's aptitude…"

The Sagemaster's Halo was pretty awesome. When imparting cultivation techniques or preaching the Dao, the user of the Sagemaster's Halo could help people quickly comprehend the profundity of cultivation techniques being taught. It could also help people comprehend the Dao. Furthermore, under the guise of a teacher imparting cultivation to a student, one's aptitude could be raised.

With the Sagemaster's Halo, Chu Xuan had truly become the savior of trash. He was no longer fooling people. He could turn a good-for-nothing piece of trash into a genius!

The system's reward was indeed awesome.

Chu Xuan waved his hand to indicate to Su Xian'er that she should cultivate. It was only after she entered the universe space that he chose to accept the hundred-year cultivation boost reward.

Boom!

Cultivation and comprehension were instilled into him.

Chu Xuan looked calm but, in reality, his cultivation had already broken through.

After surpassing the Emperor realm, he would be at the Supreme realm.

Supreme realm cultivators were also known as the Supreme Emperors.

In the cultivation world, there was a saying regarding the Supreme realm that read, "I am supreme within my domain, and even emperors have to bow their heads."

The Supreme realm further sublimated the divine soul and transformed the power of the domain.

The domain of an Emperor realm cultivator was like an insurmountable barrier to cultivators below the Emperor realm. They had no power to resist the domain and would be trampled and slaughtered by the Emperor realm cultivator.

Inside the domain of an Emperor realm cultivator, no matter how many truth realm cultivators, all were powerless.

Facing an Emperor realm cultivator, that tiny bit of strength was no different from an ant.

An Emperor realm cultivator's domain could easily suppress the cultivation of those below their realm of cultivation, making them look like people who lacked the strength to even truss a chicken.

As for Supreme realm cultivators, the power of their domains was even more exaggerated.

Supreme realm cultivators had the ability to start enacting laws within their domains.

Their domains were like real miniature worlds, with the embryonic form of laws, and could connect the laws of Heaven and Earth into the domain, strengthening the laws that had been enacted within.

The hallmark of the Supreme realm was the ability to connect the laws of Heaven and Earth into the domain, evolving the laws within.

Because of this, the power of the domains of Supreme realm cultivators could suppress the domains of Emperor realm cultivators.

Even Emperor realm cultivators were powerless against it.

The Supreme Emperor!

In the cultivation world, Supreme realm cultivators were usually called Supreme Emperors. This was the reason why.

The power of Chu Xuan's divine soul continued to condense and thenspread out. The power of his domain also expanded in tandem with his divine soul.

The domain encompassed a radius of 50 li, far surpassing the borders of the Chu family's territory.

The experts of the Chu family were unaware of the fact that they were in a domain.

The laws within the domain started to evolve, and Chu Xuan entered a state of profound comprehension of the laws.

However, he did not communicate with the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region.

The laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were incomplete. Logically speaking, it was impossible to break through to the Emperor realm, let alone the Supreme realm, in this region.

Chu Xuan was different. He directly bypassed the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region and directly communicated with the laws of the Great Dao.

It was precisely because of this that his domain was much stronger than other cultivators of the same realm.

It was not an exaggeration to say that, when Chu Xuan was at the ninth level of the Emperor realm, the strength of his domain was not inferior to a first-level Supreme realm cultivator.

In that sense, it was not that difficult for Chu Xuan to cross realms to battle an early-stage Supreme realm cultivator.

With the techniques and treasures at his disposal, even a second-level Supreme realm martial artist would find it difficult to fight against him.

After cultivating the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique, his soul was no weaker than a second-level Supreme realm martial artist, even as a ninth-level Emperor realm cultivator.

Chu Xuan could communicate with the laws of the Great Dao and create his own laws within his domain.

Supreme realm! It was finally here!

Chapter 65: Heaven-Shaking Divine Image

To Chu Xuan, breaking through to the Supreme realm was a natural process which did not take long.

However, for others, breaking through was not something that could be accomplished within a day or two.

This was especially so for large realm breakthroughs that involved communicating with the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Those who broke through after a few months of seclusion were all top-notch geniuses. It could be said that these geniuses would have no problem breaking through to the Heaven realm at all.

They were all people with excellent comprehension ability and outstanding talent.

It was normal for most people who entered seclusion to take a few years or even a few hundred years to break through.

Yet Chu Xuan did not even take a full day to complete his breakthrough.

If news of this spread out, it would make a large number of Supreme realm cultivators curse the heavens for being unfair and hug each other while shedding tears!

After breaking through to the first level of the Supreme realm, Chu Xuan's confidence greatly increased.

At this moment, he could guarantee that he was invincible in the Southern Region.

Even if Du Yuan ran over to the South Province now, he could easily suppress the latter.

Given his current strength, although he could not say that he was invincible within the Supreme realm, he still had no problems dealing with fifth or sixth-level Supreme realm cultivators.

Chu Xuan's foundation was rich and deep to begin with, and the cultivation techniques he cultivated were even more advanced. There were countless secret techniques. In addition to that, his divine soul was even stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level.

His domain power was not connected to the laws of Heaven and Earth, but the laws of the Great Dao.

His domain was even stronger than the domains of ordinary Supreme realm cultivators due to this, and the laws it contained were even stronger.

"You are a homebody who has broken through to the Supreme realm. Your strength has increased by a large realm, and you've been rewarded with the Heaven-shaking Divine Image."

The system's reward soon arrived.

It was a divine ability.

Chu Xuan looked at the description of the Heaven-shaking Divine Image.

"The Heaven-shaking Divine Image's might can shake the heavens, shake the Great Dao, suppress domains and break techniques…"

After examining the introduction of the Heaven-shaking Divine Image, Chu Xuan was amazed. Sure enough, as a divine ability produced by the system, it was incomparably powerful.

The Heaven-shaking Divine Image's power was unparalleled. Once it was used, it had the power to shake the heavens, and once it was fully mastered, it could shake the Great Dao.

At its most basic level, it could suppress and break techniques.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Chu Xuan could use the Heaven-shaking Divine Image to directly suppress and shatter the domains of his enemies.

Any domain would be rendered useless by Chu Xuan's Heaven-shaking Divine Image.

Not taking into account divine abilities and techniques, Chu Xuan could be said to be invincible in the Supreme realm with the Heaven-shaking Divine Image.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a figure that seemed to have Heaven-shaking power appeared behind him.

The Divine Image's face could not be seen clearly, but it gave people a feeling of supreme power.

Rumble!

The surroundings shook, and ripples started appearing in the space around him.

The Heaven and Earth array formation was activated, concealing this phenomenon from the outside world.

The Heaven and Earth array formation enveloped the surroundings, after which none of what went on inside the small courtyard could be detected from the outside.

The Heaven-shaking Divine Image continued to grow larger and, in the end, it reached a height of several hundred meters. It was almost as if it was holding up the sky as it gazed down imposingly upon the world below.

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Heaven-shaking Divine Image.

Once the Divine Image appeared, it would intimidate countless people.

With just one look, one could tell that it was very awesome. Only a super big shot would possess something like this.

Combined with the seven-colored divine light, it was definitely the perfect way to show off.

The first thing Chu Xuan did was to take out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror. It was time to give Ren Changhe, this in-name disciple of his, some pointers.

The seven-colored divine light bloomed around him.

His entire body was bathed in divine light. The divine light shone even brighter, enveloping the Divine Image.

It made the Divine Image even more blinding and imposing, giving off a mysterious and powerful aura.

His image as an indescribably mighty figure was strengthened further. Just one look was enough to make people involuntarily prostrate themselves on the ground.

Whenever anyone saw the Heaven-shaking Divine Image, their first thought would be that this was a big shot, a super big shot!

The Myriad Heavenly Mirror soon connected to the Fallen God Cave and to Ren Changhe's stone house.

At this moment, Ren Changhe no longer looked like a withered mummy.

His flesh and blood no longer exuded lifelessness, but rather vitality.

His hair had also turned black.

At this moment, it almost looked like he had returned to his youthful days.

Ren Changhe had initially felt that, at his age, he was better off portraying the image of a domineering and majestic old man. Only then would he be able to display the demeanor of a senior expert, and only then would his image match the temperament of a peak-stage Heaven realm expert.

However, when he thought about it again, he realized that he was only an in-name disciple of some big shot. He was only a junior in this vast world. Therefore, he restored his appearance to his younger self.

He now looked like a handsome, but somewhat resolute, young man.

At this moment, the circular halo rippled and the seven-colored divine light shone through.

Ren Changhe was extremely excited. His master had come to visit him again.

He looked up and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. He knelt on the ground.

What was that?

Was that his master's true body?

It was too overbearing and powerful.

He did not know how large the gap between Master and him was but, just a glance was enough to shock him senseless. Master's figure exuded boundless might.

Even with his peak-stage Heaven realm cultivation, which stood atop the nine zones and fifty regions, he had never heard of or seen such an almighty figure with boundless might.

As expected of Master!

His master was right. The nine zones and fifty regions were just a remote corner of the myriad realms.

"Greetings, Master!" Ren Changhe said respectfully.

"En." Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Ren Changhe's reaction.

As expected, the Heaven-shaking Divine Image was extremely awesome.

"Your body is now full of vitality and you have already recovered to your peak state. Is there anything else that you have yet to comprehend about the Yin-Yang Combination Divine Seal?"

Chu Xuan put on the air of an almighty master. His voice was filled with dignity and exuded confidence.

"There are still some parts that I don't understand," Ren Changhe said in embarrassment.

He was indeed lacking. He could not even comprehend a cultivation technique thoroughly and still needed to trouble his master to explain it over and over again.

He might be a peak-stage Heaven realm expert but, in front of his master, he was indeed just a small fry.

Before he met his master, he had been a frog at the bottom of a well. He had not known how high the heavens were, proud and complacent, believing himself to be one of the few people in this world with outstanding talent.

In the end, he discovered that he was just a loser.

He almost died in the Fallen God Cave!

It was only thanks to his master's mercy that he survived.

Chu Xuan was also somewhat speechless.

Ren Changhe had been able to cultivate to the peak of the Heaven realm, so he should be quite talented. His comprehension ability should not be too poor either.

Moreover, he had even boasted that he had reached the Heaven realm in ten thousand years and was one of the rare top-notch geniuses in the world.

Why could he not fully comprehend the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal?

Was it because the Yin-yang combination Divine Seal was too powerful? Or was his comprehension just that poor?

Chu Xuan did not think that the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal was particularly difficult to comprehend.

Even without the system assistance, he felt that he would be able to comprehend it in one or two months.

Why did Ren Changhe take such a long time to comprehend it? He had even explained the intricacies behind the technique to the other party several times.

Chu Xuan did not require him to have a deep understanding of the technique but, at the very least, he should have a basic understanding of the technique, right?

In the end, he actually had not finished comprehending it.

Ren Changhe saw that Chu Xuan had remained silent for a long time and felt even more ashamed. He wished he could bury his head into the ground.

"Tell me, which part do you not understand?"

He explained the cultivation technique to Ren Changhe once more and encouraged him to comprehend it well. After that, he closed the Myriad Heavenly Mirror's connection to the Fallen God Cave.

After thinking for a while, he activated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror's connection to Du Yuan.

The image projection rippled. Du Yuan was not in the small clan that he was the guardian of, but rather in a valley.

Moreover, his aura was in disarray. It was obvious that he had just fought a big battle.

Opposite Du Yuan stood two men in green. They were both Supreme realm experts.

Their strength was on par with Du Yuan's.

One versus two. It was no wonder Du Yuan was in such a sorry state.

"Like I said, this is a misunderstanding. I'm not here to save Xiao Liang," Du Yuan said with a gloomy face.

Xiao Liang?

Chu Xuan was stunned. Was that not the name of the abandoned son of that major clan in the Western Region? Du Yuan had once asked for his opinion on this matter, on whether or not to participate in the capture of this guy with the protagonist halo.

Report chapter

Chapter 66: Just Two Ants

How did Du Yuan get involved with Xiao Liang?

From the looks of it, the two green-clothed men were chasing after Xiao Liang.

Their strength was at the second level of the Supreme realm.

Du Yuan's strength was also at the second level of the Supreme realm.

Fighting one versus two, Du Yuan was obviously not their match and had suffered some losses.

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised. Although Du Yuan was an itinerant cultivator, he had obtained a fortuitous opportunity and the cultivation technique he cultivated was not weak.

Even if the two men in green came from a major power with a storied history, Du Yuan should have been able to deal with them.

After interacting with Du Yuan for so long, Chu Xuan had a very good understanding of Du Yuan's capability.

He had once crossed a minor realm and killed an enemy who was stronger than he was.

It could be seen from this that Du Yuan's strength was plenty strong. In the past, he could be said to have been a Heaven's blessed-level character.

Examining the situation again, Chu Xuan came to a sudden understanding.

Du Yuan, an expert at the second level of the Supreme realm, was actually still using a low-grade emperor-level weapon.

The two green-clothed men, on the other hand, were using mid-grade emperor-level weapons.

It was already a one versus two situation so, coupled with the fact that his opponents had the advantage in terms of weapon-quality, Du Yuan was naturally at a disadvantage.

Low-grade emperor-level weapons did not amplify Du Yuan's combat strength, and even somewhat hindered him from exerting his full strength.

The mid-grade emperor-level weapons were able to withstand the full strength of their cultivation, allowing them to display their full combat strength. Given such a situation, it would be strange if Du Yuan was not at a disadvantage.

As an itinerant cultivator, it was understandable why the weapon he wielded was a little inferior.

Back then, he had obtained a fortuitous opportunity. He also possessed an excellent cultivation technique as well as medicinal pills. The only thing he lacked was a powerful spiritual weapon.

The emperor-level weapon in his hand was something that he had paid someone a considerable price to forge.

"Hmph! How dare a small itinerant cultivator like you interfere in the matters of the Xiao clan? If it really has nothing to do with you, then surrender. If our investigation doesn't yield any results, I will naturally let you go!" A green-clothed man coldly snorted.

Du Yuan's face was dark. If he surrendered, he would die without a doubt.

Even if they found out that the matter had nothing to do with him, the Xiao clan would not let him go. They would definitely use certain methods to control him and make him one of their lackeys.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to escape.

Fortunately, the small family clan that he was overseeing had never made a move. What happened here would not implicate the small family clan. However, there was no way for him to return there after this.

From the looks of it, he would have to continue on as an itinerant cultivator.

"The Western Region does not belong to your Xiao clan alone. Although I am an itinerant cultivator, the two of you must think clearly whether or not you really want to force me to fight to the death!"

A fierce look flashed across Du Yuan's eyes.

"Although the Xiao clan is not the only force in the Western Region, it is not something a small itinerant cultivator like you can provoke."

The two green-clothed men sneered.

Their bodies moved and they were about to attack.

Du Yuan's strength was not weak. Even if they had the advantage in terms of weapons, he would still be able to fight.

In a one versus two situation, even if he could not kill one of them, he could still heavily injure one.

However, once the other party was heavily injured, the other Supreme realm experts of the Xiao clan would definitely hunt him down and kill him.

A large clan like the Xiao clan would not allow their reputation to be tarnished, and would kill any and all of the itinerant cultivators they offended.

This was especially true for a Supreme realm itinerant cultivator, as the potential damage that could be caused by a Supreme realm expert's rampage was immeasurable.

Under normal circumstances, they would not be willing to offend such a powerful itinerant cultivator, especially if they did not have the confidence to kill him.

However, the other party seemed to have something to do with Xiao Liang. Whether it was a misunderstanding or a deliberate act, it no longer mattered.

In the end, Xiao Liang had managed to escape because of him.

The other party had to pay with his life!

Suddenly, above Du Yuan's head, a circle of light rippled.

A seven-colored divine light burst forth.

What was that?

The hearts of the two Xiao Clan elders were startled, and their figures stopped in their tracks.

They looked at the circle of light above Du Yuan's head in shock and bewilderment.

Du Yuan was overjoyed.

Senior had come to chat with him.

With Senior's strength, it would be effortless for him to resolve this crisis!

"Senior, Little Du is in a bit of a pickle. Can Senior help?"

Chu Xuan's figure appeared.

His figure exuded boundless might and was bathed in divine light.

Just a glance was enough to shock people.

He looked to be as powerful as a deity, incomparably powerful!

Du Yuan was shocked. Was this Senior?

Too powerful!

The Xiao Clan elders were even more shocked. Their hearts trembled.

Who was that?

What kind of method was this, appearing here through the endless space.

Too terrifying!

After a single glance, they already had the intention to retreat.

Regardless of whether Du Yuan had intended to save Xiao Liang or not, he had such a terrifying expert behind him, so this matter had to be written off.

Moreover, Du Yuan saving Xiao Liang was very likely a misunderstanding.

That figure was enough to make one's mind shake from just a glance, not to mention that strange method of appearing through the endless space.

Even the legendary Heaven realm powerhouses could not do such a thing, right?

"Little Du, those two are just ants."

The corners of Du Yuan's mouth twitched. 'I can't even beat two ants. Does that make me more useless than ants?'

For a moment, Du Yuan was speechless.

"Do you think those two ants can escape from me?"

Chu Xuan moved the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and arrived above the two elders of the Xiao clan.

The elders of the Xiao clan were so scared that they were about to turn and run away. They were trembling, with fear evident on their faces.

"Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. The two of us didn't mean to become enemies with Nrother Du."

The halo was hovering above their heads. From such a close distance, they could feel the boundless might emanating from the figure.

They felt their legs go weak, and they almost knelt down right there and then.

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with the Xiao clan elders' reactions. The Heaven-shaking Divine Image was indeed awesome. His strength and aura seemed to be even more boundless when it was projected through the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

"It's a misunderstanding. This venerable self is too lazy to make a move. If I crush you two ants to death, it'll dirty my hands!"

Chu Xuan started to scare them because the other party could not see through him.

Du Yuan wanted to cry but no tears came out.

If Senior crushed the Xiao family's elders to death, he would dirty his hands. They were just two little ants, after all.

As for himself, he could not even beat those ants.

Fortunately, Senior did not feel that conversing with him was beneath him.

Alas!

His strength was too weak.

At this moment, Du Yuan realized that he, a dignified Supreme realm expert, was actually just a little ant.

The elders of the Xiao clan felt very uncomfortable.

They were usually the only ones who called other low-level cultivator ants. Unexpectedly, it was their turn to be humiliated.

They finally understood what it felt like to be on the receiving end.

Should they say something fierce?

Should they try to resist?

After seeing that imposing figure, they no longer dared to resist.

"Yes, yes, we are ants. Killing us will dirty Senior's hands!"

At this moment, they had to go with the flow and follow their hearts.

Cowardice!

Seeing the previously arrogant Xiao clan elders cower, Du Yuan sighed in his heart. Strength was indeed everything.

"Little Du, how do you think we should deal with these two ants?" Chu Xuan looked at Du Yuan and asked.

The Xiao clan elders immediately looked at Du Yuan, their eyes seemingly pleading with him. They blinked their eyes, indicating that they could compensate him.

They even shook the mid-grade emperor-level weapons in their hands slightly.

The meaning behind this was self-evident.

They would compensate Du Yuan with an emperor-level weapon of mid-grade or higher.

Du Yuan thought for a moment. Killing the Xiao clan elders would definitely offend the Xiao clan. As an itinerant cultivator, he definitely could not afford to bear their ire.

If not, he would have to live a life trying to avoid being hunted down.

He could not always rely on Senior, and could not be greedy in asking for Senior's help again and again.

After this shocking incident, the Xiao clan would realize that he had a powerful backer behind him, so they would not dare to make things too difficult for him.

Moreover, he could also obtain a mid-grade emperor-level weapon, or perhaps even a high-grade emperor-level weapon.

Report chapter

Chapter 67: Du Yuan's Great Fortune

"Senior, this matter was originally a misunderstanding. Senior shouldn't dirty his hands because of these two ants. Since these two ants have realized their mistake, there's no harm in sparing their lives," Du Yuan thought for a moment before saying.

The Xiao clan elders' expressions were unsightly. 'F*ck, why do you keep talking about ants? If you can't even beat us ants, aren't you worse than an ant?'

However, at this moment, their lives were in the hands of Du Yuan, so they did not dare to say a single word.

Moreover, Du Yuan had such a powerful figure backing him. There was no way they could afford to offend him, or they would risk offending this almighty character.

"However, I do want some compensation from them. I'll be satisfied as long as it makes up for my losses."

Chu Xuan was not surprised by Du Yuan's decision. He did not want to kill the Xiao clan elders because he wanted to avoid getting into trouble and being hunted down wherever he went.

If he killed the Xiao clan elders, there would be no witnesses, so even if Du Yuan said that he had a powerful figure behind him, the Xiao clan would not believe him.

As such, to get the Xiao clan to believe him, and intimidate the Xiao clan, he had to show mercy.

Besides, Du Yuan did not want to trouble Chu Xuan again and again.

Having known Du Yuan for quite some time, Chu Xuan was aware of his character.

He was a cautious person who tried his best not to offend others.

Due to this, the small clan that he was the guardian of, despite having a Supreme realm expert like him, kept a low profile and did not act arrogantly.

"Since that's the case, these two ants should hand over everything they have to Little Du as compensation. Then they should scram!"

Even though the Xiao clan elders' hearts ached, they did not dare to resist or negotiate.

This unknown expert was too powerful. Even if he was not above the Heaven realm, he was definitely a terrifying existence at the peak of the Heaven realm.

Of course, the greater possibility was that he was above the Heaven realm.

Without saying anything else, they took out their storage bags and threw them over to Du Yuan along with the emperor-level weapons.

Wiping off their cold sweat, they respectfully asked, "Senior, can we leave now?"

"Leave."

The Xiao clan elders ran off as fast as they could.

It was as if they were afraid that Chu Xuan would go back on his words.

After covering a distance of tens of thousands of li in one breath, they finally stopped for a breath.

Their souls were still shaking, and their entire bodies felt like they had just come out of a trance.

They had been scared sh*tless by Chu Xuan, and their minds were on tenterhooks the entire time. Once they relaxed, they naturally felt a sense of exhaustion, and their souls trembled.

However, the two of them did not think that way. They believed that the remnant aura of that unknown expert had almost crushed their souls.

That person was too terrifying!

Just what kind of expert was that?

Was he a hidden old monster from the Western Region, or was he an expert from outside the Western Region?

Or perhaps even an expert from outside the Northern Zone?

They felt that this entire matter was unfathomable!

The Xiao clan elders looked at each other, relief etched on their faces. Each one felt as if they had survived a disaster.

"Thank you, Senior!" Du Yuan said respectfully.

At the same time, he handed over his storage bag to Chu Xuan.

"Such items are useless to me. You can keep them." Chu Xuan refused.

"Senior saved Du Yuanyu. I know my talent is insufficient and that my strength is as weak as an ant's, but I also want to repay Senior for saving me. I'm willing to be your servant and do whatever you ask of me!" Du Yuan gritted his teeth and bowed respectfully.

Generally speaking, becoming a servant was an extremely abject fate. No expert would normally be willing to be a servant.

However, in Du Yuan's opinion, being able to work for a powerhouse like Chu Xuan and gain his recognition was the greatest opportunity and honor.

Before meeting Chu Xuan, Du Yuan had always thought of himself as a top powerhouse.

After meeting Chu Xuan, he realized that he was just a frog in a well. A mere Supreme realm expert was just an ant.

In the eyes of that powerhouse, the Supreme realm was just like the mortal realm.

The difference in their perspectives was too great.

If he was able to work for such an expert, even as a servant, it would also be counted as a fortuitous opportunity.

His status would also immediately become different.

He too yearned for the myriad realms of the heavens.

Unfortunately, even Heaven realm experts did not have the qualifications to go there, much less a puny Supreme realm cultivator like himself.

He felt that it was necessary to improve his own status and foundation.

As long as he obtained Senior's approval, reaching the Heaven realm was not impossible.

Even the legendary Divine realm would be within reach.

Chu Xuan was becoming more and more satisfied with Du Yuan. With such a responsible subordinate running errands for him, he would be much less worried.

Moreover, Du Yuan's aptitude was not bad. Otherwise, how could he, an itinerant cultivator, manage to cultivate to the Supreme realm.

Du Yuan could be groomed and, more importantly, he was loyal.

Just because the former head of that small family owed him a favor, he had protected the small family and become its guardian.

"You've got heart, you've got heart," Chu Xuan pretended to be silent for a moment and said, "Well, it's fate that we met. You can run errands for me in this world."

Du Yuan was overjoyed.

"Du Yuan pays his respects to Your Excellency!"

"Very good, get up. You can integrate your soul with this seal. With this seal, you'll be able to go to the myriad realms in the future."

Chu Xuan waved his hand, and the soul seed seal floated over through the myriad heavenly mirror.

Although he knew that Du Yuan was a loyal person, if one day the latter discovered that he had deceived him, there was still a chance of the other party seeking revenge on him out of anger.

The probability of him being exposed was indeed very low. However, the affairs of the world were hard to predict. What if he really was exposed?

To be safe, he still planted a soul seed seal on Du Yuan.

After planting the soul seed seal, he did not exert his will. Other than removing any ill feelings toward himself and thoughts of disobeying him, there was actually nothing different about Du Yuan.

As long as he did not use the seal, Du Yuan would not notice anything wrong.

After all, Du Yuan had always respected him and would not be suspicious just because he became more respectful toward him.

Du Yuan did not hesitate at all. In fact, he seemed a little impatient.

He put the soul seed seal into his divine soul.

In an instant, Du Yuan felt that he had become more respectful toward Chu Xuan.

"Cultivate well. I'm going to patrol the Ten Thousand Worlds."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Du Yuan bowed respectfully.

Chu Xuan closed the Ten Thousand Heavenly Mirror. He felt extremely comfortable.

He now had a servant at the second level of the Supreme realm. Other than Ren Changhe, Du Yuan was the most powerful subordinate.

"You didn't leave seclusion. With just your glib tongue, you tricked a Supreme realm expert into becoming your servant. You have been rewarded with the Purple Flame Burning Heavens technique and the Flame Spirit Awl."

The system's reward notification rang out.

He examined the reward. The Purple Flame Burning Heavens technique was a fire attribute cultivation technique.

Was this specially prepared for Du Yuan?

Du Yuan cultivated a fire attribute cultivation technique, which he had obtained from a fortuitous opportunity. He had relied on this cultivation technique to reach the Supreme realm.

Moreover, he was a powerhouse among those at the same level as he was.

However, the cultivation technique that Du Yuan cultivated was only at the heavenly scripture level. Moreover, it was on the weaker end when compared with other heavenly scriptures.

It was not even a divine technique. In Chu Xuan's eyes, it was just a trash cultivation technique.

The cultivation technique and secret technique that he currently possessed were all at the divine technique level.

Chu Xuan no longer cared about cultivation techniques that were at the heavenly scripture level.

It just so happened that this purple flame burning heavens technique could be imparted to Du Yuan. It could be considered a reward for him to become his servant.

He was his great fortune.

The purple flame burning heavens technique was a cultivation technique that was above divine techniques in terms of level.

Looking at the flame spirit awl, it was a three-foot-long awl engraved with purple mysterious fire patterns.

It was a divine weapon!

He would give it to Du Yuan as well.

Divine weapons were not considered rare among Chu Xuan's possessions. The number of rewards he received from the system continued to pile up, which increased the variety and the quality of the items in his possession.

For example, the spirit-slayer saber and the like were his initial rewards, but Chu Xuan now treated them as trash.

To him, weapons below the Heaven-level were considered trash.

After receiving the Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique, the image of purple flames appeared in his mind, roaring as if they could burn the heavens.

Report chapter

Chapter 68: This Young Man's Situation

Chu Xuan pondered. When the Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique was combined with the Void Heart Flame, it would become even more powerful and difficult to guard against!

Moreover, if one cultivated the Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique, regardless of whether it was refining pills or artifacts, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, he did not have any subordinates who could refine weapons or pills. Otherwise, he could have passed on this technique to them.

Chu Yun's talent in refining pills was very strong. However, she cultivated the Great Luo Emperor Scripture, which was enough for her to display her talent in refining pills.

She did not need to change her cultivation method for the time being.

There was still one more chance to use the Myriad Heavenly Mirror. Now that he had broken through, he happily decided to initiate a random connection.

He wanted to see who would appear on the other side of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

Chu Xuan would not mind giving the other party some opportunities.

After all, he had too many secret techniques and treasures.

The image shifted, and an underground cave appeared.

Chu Xuan was surprised. He was directly connected to an underground cave?

This was the strength of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror. It could ignore distance as well any obstacles and connect directly to its target.

It was also due to this that the two elders of the Xiao clan had been so afraid.

That was why they didn't doubt that Chu Xuan was a super expert.

After all, even Heaven realms experts would not have the ability to pull off such a feat.

Moreover, Chu Xuan's Heaven-shaking Divine Image and seven-colored divine light were too imposing. They could not see through Chu Xuan's cultivation and strength, let alone through the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

As Chu Xuan examined the surroundings, he had a feeling that this place was either an abyss or a prison, deep and unfathomable.

Moving the image projection around, Chu Xuan saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the cave.

It was a man in his twenties.

There were traces of blood on his body, and his aura was disarray. He had suffered serious injuries.

At this moment, he was healing his injuries. He swallowed a stalk of a precious herb in his hand.

His cultivation was at the third level of the unity realm.

To have been able to reach the third level of the unity realm at his age, he was definitely a genius.

In terms of talent, he did not lose out to Su Xian'er in the slightest.

After all, Su Xian'er cultivated the Grand Moon Immortal Spell and, with the support of his medicinal pills and cultivation resources, her cultivation speed skyrocketed.

The other party did not have the same amount of cultivation resources as Su Xian'er did, nor did he have an equivalent cultivation technique.

Chu Xuan checked and found that the cultivation technique fluctuations emanating from the man's body had exceeded the level of a heavenly scripture-level technique. The cultivation technique he had was likely a divine technique.

He moved the image projection so that he could see the man's body and face clearly.

What a coincidence…

Could it be that this was the fated person of the Western Region?

It seemed that the day's final use of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror had connected him to Xiao Liang, who was the abandoned child of the great Xiao clan of the Western Region.

At this moment, the jade pendant that hung around Xiao Liang's neck flickered with light, and a graceful figure floated out.

Although the figure looked somewhat illusory, Chu Xuan could still tell that it was peerlessly beautiful.

More importantly, this was actually the weakened soul of a Heaven realm expert!

Chu Xuan was speechless.

He had guessed correctly. This fellow, Xiao Liang, really possessed the protagonist halo!

Although he did not have an old grandfather to guide his cultivation, he still had a peerless beauty with great strength.

Of course, given the choice, every man would choose to have a peerless beauty instead of an old grandfather.

"Master."

Xiao Liang opened his eyes.

"If I make another two or three moves, I will fall into a state of deep sleep. You must leave the Western Region as soon as possible."

"Master, I will leave the Western Region as soon as possible."

Xiao Liang gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Xiao clan, I will definitely have my revenge one day!"

"Cultivate well. Everything is about strength. As long as you break through to the Heaven realm, the Xiao clan will be nothing."

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely cultivate to the Heaven realm within a thousand years and help you rebuild your body!"

Xiao Liang's gaze was firm as he said this.

Chu Xuan muttered in his heart, "Cultivate to the Heaven realm within a thousand years?"

If it was so easy to cultivate to the Heaven realm within a thousand years, then Ren Changhe would not have been known as a top-notch Heaven's blessed of the nine zones and fifty regions.

However, if he was the fated person of the Western Region, perhaps it was possible for him to cultivate to the Heaven realm within a thousand years.

One day he would ask Ren Changhe if there was anyone in the nine zones and fifty regions who had managed to reach the Heaven realm in a thousand years.

"A thousand-year Heaven realm? How is that possible?"

The beautiful soul shook her head and said, "As the saying goes, 'a hundred-year Emperor realm, a thousand-year Supreme realm, and a ten-thousand-year Heaven realm'. Those achievements represent the standard for top-notch Heaven's blessed in the nine zones and fifty regions."

"Even if you cultivated to the truth realm in ten years, it would take more than ten years to break through to the Emperor realm."

"Moreover, there is a natural chasm separating the Supreme realm from theHeaven realm. Countless experts at the peak of the Supreme realm used to be called top-notch geniuses, but most of them ended up stuck at this stage for tens of thousands of years without being able to break through."

"If you want to break through to the Heaven realm, you need a fortuitous opportunity. Without it, no matter how talented you are, you can forget about breaking through to the Heaven realm in ten thousand years."

Xiao Liang was stunned and asked, "Reaching the Heaven realm is so difficult?"

"Don't be discouraged. With my guidance, and your great talent and luck, it should be no problem for you to break through to the Heaven realm."

The beautiful soul comforted Xiao Liang.

Recalling something, she said, "In my generation, there was once a person who reached the Heaven realm within 10,000 years. He was almost invincible among those in the same realm. He broke into the demon's territory alone and escaped unscathed, though I'm afraid that he has already died by now."

Xiao Liang was overwhelmed with emotion. He looked fascinated and asked, "Master, who was that person?"

"That person was Ren Changhe, the Celestial Master, who shook the 50 regions of the nine zones 100,000 years ago!"

Ren Changhe?

Chu Xuan was stunned. This beautiful woman's soul was from the same era as Ren Changhe?

Xiao Liang had the protagonist halo, and the beautiful woman's soul was from ancient times.

Judging by the beautiful woman's words, Ren Changhe must have been very powerful back then.

It seemed that his in-name disciple had not been bragging after all.

"Master, I will definitely become like the Celestial Master and shake the entire nine zones and fifty regions!" Xiao Liang said with a firm expression.

This young man's understanding of the world's power structure was too limited.

Ren Changhe was a mere in-name disciple of his with low self-esteem, yet Xiao Liang was still using the man as a role model?

It was necessary to correct this young man's thinking and broaden his horizons.

The nine zones and fifty regions were just a desolate corner of the myriad realms.

As for whether the myriad realms existed or not, that was not important at the moment. He just had to try his best to fool them.

"I believe in you!"

The beautiful soul was very gratified.

"Liang'er, after you leave the Western Region, head to the Southern Region. The laws of Heaven and Earth there are incomplete, and Emperor realm experts mostly avoid the place."

"Moreover, the Asura Ancient Land is about to open. The stronger powers of the nine zones will restrict the number of Emperor realm experts and above who can go there. If you head to the Southern Region, you can avoid the Xiao clan's pursuit."

"The Asura Ancient Land is also an opportunity for you."

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Liang nodded.

The beautiful woman's divine soul was about to return to the jade pendant, and Xiao Liang was just about to continue healing his wounds, when…

Ripples appeared over his head, and a halo appeared. From within the halo, seven-colored divine light shot forth.

The master and disciple were shocked!

Xiao Liang looked at the halo in shock. His first thought was, 'Could it be that the ancestor of the Xiao clan was here to kill him?'

However, on second thought, that was not right. The ancestor had not appeared for ten thousand years. He might even be dead.

Moreover, he was also his descendant. There was no reason for him to kill an extremely talented descendant of his.

The beautiful woman's divine soul was even more shocked. What kind of technique was this? This seemed to be beyond the scope of even Heaven realm experts.

She did not sense any space fluctuations.

This meant that the other party was not nearby.

Even Heaven realm experts could not pierce through space over long distances.

Report chapter

Chapter 69: Both Tribulation and Fate

When Chu Xuan heard that Xiao Liang's destination was actually the Southern Region, he thought of something.

He was tempted.

This guy was probably the fated person of the Western Region.

Taking him in as a disciple and having more errand-runners would not be too bad.

It was time for him to make an appearance.

Since he was in a particularly good mood today, he would bestow this master and disciple pair a chance.

Chu Xuan immediately revealed himself.

A Heaven-shaking figure bathed in divine light could be seen on the other side of the halo

They did not know where he was or where he came from, but his mere presence made them feel like prostrating themselves on the ground.

An unknown existence had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Gulp!

Xiao Liang swallowed his saliva and felt his heart tremble.

That beautiful divine soul was even more shocked.

She was once a Heaven realm expert and could easily sense that the figure in front of them was majestic and unfathomable.

It seemed that even the legendary Divine realm could not compare to this figure's strength.

At a glance, his aura was as deep as an abyss and as unfathomable as the ocean.

It was far beyond the scope of the Heaven realm.

Such a terrifying expert had suddenly appeared. Was it an opportunity or a disaster?

The beautiful soul did not dare to hesitate any longer and immediately bowed. "Junior Liu Piaopiao greets Senior!"

Xiao Liang directly knelt down.

"Xiao Liang greets Senior!"

It was too shocking. The majesty of this figure was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Just by sitting there, this person had the power to shake the heavens. Just what kind of terrifying expert was he?

"Greetings, greetings."

Senior Chu Xuan had the demeanor of an expert. His tone was amiable and carried a tone of appreciation for a junior.

"This venerable self is patrolling the myriad realms of the heavens. It can be considered that the two of you and I are fated to meet."

Liu Piaopiao's heart was shaken. Myriad realms of the heavens?

Why had she never heard of it?

She was a Heaven realm expert, and not some weak cultivator who knew nothing of the world.

She knew many of the secrets of this world. If she had never heard of it, it meant that this was definitely a big secret.

"Forgive my ignorance, but this junior has never heard of the myriad realms of the heavens?" Liu Piaopiao said respectfully.

Xiao Liang kneeled on the ground, not daring to say a word.

He felt that his strength was too weak and that his status was too low. At this point, he thought it was best if he just kept silent.

Kneel!

Be respectful!

Perhaps Senior would bestow treasures on him if he was happy.

"Given your insufficient strength, it's only normal that you haven't heard of it." Chu Xuan began his spiel.

He had fooled Ren Changhe, who was far superior to Liu Piaopiao, so this would not be a challenge.

In addition, when he fooled Ren Changhe, Chu Xuan did not have the Heaven-shaking Divine Image.

Now that he did, his words would be even more convincing, no one would doubt that he was a terrifying and boundlessly powerful expert.

"You might not know about the myriad realms of the heavens, but do you at least know about the specific situation of the nine zones and fifty regions?" Chu Xuan pretended to ask.

He felt that the waters in the nine zones and fifty regions ran quite deep, even though Heaven realm cultivators were already considered peak experts.

However, above the heaven realm, there was the legendary Divine realm.

Would the nine zones and fifty regions not have a Divine realm cultivator?

"I do know about it. The nine zones and fifty regions, the five human zones, the demon race zone, the monster race zone, and the chaotic zone with all kinds of races mixed within… of the nine regions, only the Desolate Ancient Zone is filled with mystery."

"Rumor has it that the Desolate Ancient Zone is bigger than the other eight zones. Many Heaven realm experts have explored the Desolate Ancient Zone, but they only reached the periphery and countless experts have died in the process."

"The Desolate Ancient zone is the only unexplored zone. Rumor has it that only Divine realm cultivators can enter, and that only one can only break through to the Divine realm in the Desolate Ancient Zone."

"Legends speak of the presence of a Divine realm expert in the Desolate Ancient Zone, though for some reason, that expert does not leave the Desolate Ancient Zone."

Liu Piaopiao provided a brief description of the nine zones and fifty regions.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the Desolate Ancient Zone was the place where the waters were truly deep.

It was no wonder that even Ren Changhe, this awe-inspiring character, had been trapped in the Desolate Ancient Zone's Fallen God Cave.

Since everything about the Desolate Ancient Zone was unknown, then the path to the myriad realms of the heavens could temporarily be placed in the Desolate Ancient Zone.

In that case, he would say that those who reached the Divine realm all traveled to the myriad realms of the heavens. In addition, only those in the Divine realm had the qualifications to go to the myriad realms of the heavens.

Thinking this, Chu Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Little girl, your knowledge only scrapes the surface of the truth. Since we met by fate, this venerable self will give you a hint."

Liu Piaopiao was speechless. She had already been a Heaven realm expert 100,000 years ago.

He actually called her a little girl?

However, this senior should have lived for god knows how many years. Given his age, him calling her a little girl was not a big deal.

"Senior, please explain."

"The nine zones and fifty regions are just a remote corner of the myriad realms. The Divine realm you speak of is just a mere emperor realm there. I can exterminate countless such people with a single breath."

Liu Piaopiao's soul trembled.

She was completely dumbfounded.

Was the legendary Divine realm so weak?

He could exterminate countless Divine realm cultivators with a single breath?

Although she had some doubts, she felt that what this unknown existence said could possibly be true.

He also said that the nine zones and fifty regions were actually just a remote corner of the myriad realms.

In that case, how powerful and vast were the myriad realms?

One had to know that, in the nine zones and fifty regions, no one knew how vast the Desolate Ancient Region was and how many secrets it hid.

So the existence of the myriad realms was not unimaginable.

At this moment, Liu Piaopiao felt that her understanding of the world had been overturned. She no longer had the bearings of a Heaven realm expert.

She felt incredibly insignificant.

Xiao Liang's mind was also buzzing. He had just taken Ren Changhe as a role model, and his goal was to shock the nine zones and fifty regions.

Well, to be precise, it was just to shock the eight zones.

After all, the Desolate Ancient Zone was too mysterious, so he would not be able to shock anyone there.

However, the world was divided into nine zones. Naturally, the moment he opened his mouth, he mentioned nine zones, not eight zones.

Someone was now telling him that the nine zones and fifty regions were just a corner of the myriad realms. How crazy was that?

In an instant, he felt that his bold words earlier had been too insignificant!

So it turned out that he was a frog at the bottom of a well!

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Liu Piaopiao and Xiao Liang's reactions. They looked so shocked that they were shaking and trembling all over.

They were scared, right?

That was right. Young people had to have bigger dreams.

Using Ren Changhe as a role model… What kind of dream was that? That guy had been fooled by him and was now mired in self-doubt.

He truly believed that he was a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

"The path to the myriad realms is in the Desolate Ancient Zone. Young man, work hard."

Chu Xuan encouraged him with the identity of a senior expert.

Liu Piaopiao was shocked. So the mysterious Desolate Ancient Zone was the pathway to the myriad realms?

It all made sense then. There were rumors of Divine realm cultivators in the Desolate Ancient Zone, but these cultivators had never left the zone for some unknown reason.

It turned out that they had all gone to the myriad realms!

At this moment, Liu Piaopiao felt that she was a frog at the bottom of a well who did not know how high the heavens were.

"Thank you for your explanation, Senior!"

Liu Piaopiao was very excited. She understood now. Many Heaven realm experts had been searching for this great secret for a long time, but they had never found it!

"You're welcome, little girl." Chu Xuan looked very pleased.

"I can see that you're in a precarious state…"

Liu Piaopiao immediately became excited. Could it be that Senior wanted to help her rebuild her body?

For an expert like him, rebuilding her body would be a simple matter.

In the end, she had been overthinking things.

Chu Xuan indeed had a treasure to reconstruct one's physical body, but he would not give it to her for no reason.

"Since you are in this state, it is both a tribulation and fate. As for which one it ends up being for you, it all depends on your comprehension."

Liu Piaopiao was a little disappointed. However, after thinking about it, since Senior said that it was both a tribulation and fate, she wanted to find the fate in the tribulation.

Report chapter

Chapter 70: Senior's Conduct Is Too Noble

Liu Piaopiao asked respectfully, "Senior, please explain. What is fate?"

"Fine. This venerable self will give you some pointers. Whether or not you can gain anything from it depends on your comprehension ability and luck."

Chu Xuan said, "You are already in the divine soul state. The tribulation naturally means that you have lost your physical body. Your divine soul has lost its vessel, but fate also resides in the divine soul."

"How can the divine soul be condensed? The soul is the root and the source of all enlightenment. Use your soul to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao, and guide the essence of the Great Dao into your soul. If you do, your divine soul will transform!"

"Once the soul has transformed, it will contain the essence of the Great Dao, and will be connected to Heaven and Earth. The soul holds Heaven and Earth, as well as the laws within it. In your soul, the laws of Heaven and Earth are under your control…"

Chu Xuan made a few inscrutable remarks. Of course, he was not talking nonsense. There was some basis behind his words.

To sum up, she had to use her soul to connect to the Great Dao. With that, her soul would be supported by the laws of Heaven and Earth. The area covered by the power of her divine soul would then be under her control.

As long as it was within the range of her laws, life and death would be under her control.

To put it bluntly, he was trying to deceive Liu Piaopiao. Her soul could integrate with the laws and control the laws. In this state, she could even comprehend the Great Dao.

"Since the laws will be under your control then, your physical body can be recreated with a simple thought." Chu Xuan finished his sentence.

If she really controlled the laws, it would naturally be very easy for her to obtain a physical body.

This was fate.

Liu Piaopiao fell into deep thought.

She was shocked. As expected of a senior expert. His soul could draw in and integrate with the Great Dao and use its laws?

However, how was she going to connect to the Great Dao?

The Great Dao was unpredictable. Even Heaven realm experts found it difficult to grasp the Great Dao.

Heaven realm experts controlled a part of the laws of Heaven and Earth.

A Heaven realm expert's domain was a part of the laws of Heaven and Earth.

However, they still could not connect with or comprehend the Great Dao.

The Great Dao was everywhere, so how could she comprehend it?

In her divine soul state, she could also use her Heaven realm domain. However, it consumed too much soul power and, without the support of her physical body, the soul power she consumed would take a long time to recover.

Although the domain of a Heaven realm expert was almost perfect in terms of its own laws of Heaven and Earth, to perfect its laws, it needed to integrate with the true laws of Heaven and Earth in the outside world.

However, it could not be entrusted with the laws of Heaven and Earth.

If her soul could be entrusted with the laws of Heaven and Earth, she would be able to control the true laws of Heaven and Earth, and not the laws she constructed within her own domain.

The difference in strength between the two was self-evident.

If she could be entrusted with the laws of Heaven and Earth and control the laws of a region, even if she had to face a Heaven realm expert in her divine soul state, she would not be afraid.

She could even break through the other party's domain and kill them by relying on the true laws of Heaven and Earth.

If she could accomplish this, her strength would definitely be stronger than when she was at her peak.

This was because relying on the laws would naturally allow her to comprehend the laws more deeply.

It would also be of great help to her in breaking through to the Divine realm, to the extent that, if she mastered this, breaking through to the Divine realm would only be a matter of time.

After thinking through this, she finally understood why Senior said that this was both a tribulation and fate.

The crux of the matter was that, by connecting her divine soul with the Great Dao, she would use it as a catalyst to comprehend and gain control of the true laws of Heaven and Earth.

However, she did not know how to connect to the Great Dao.

Liu Piaopiao had no clue where to start at all.

Just as she was about to ask for advice, Senior seemed to sense her thoughts and said indifferently, "The laws are not to be taught lightly."

Liu Piaopiao's heart trembled, and she could not bring herself to ask for advice.

Chu Xuan continued, "The Great Dao is omnipresent. Every flower and grass is part of the Dao. Every water and stone is also part of the Dao. Calm your heart and slowly comprehend it."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"

Liu Piaopiao knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.

This was a great favor.

"It was fate that caused us to meet. Forget it, this venerable one will grant you an item to help you recover your divine soul."

A small bottle appeared in Chu Xuan's hand.

Soul nurturing liquid!

One drop was enough to fully recover the soul power of Heaven realm expert.

The system had rewarded him with a large vat of the stuff, so Chu Xuan did not care about giving away a small bottle of the substance.

After all, he was a senior expert. Would he not appear too stingy if he gave out half a drop?

Moreover, the substance would not be given to her for free.

Xiao Liang and Liu Piaopiao's next destination was the Southern Region. Chu Xuan had plenty of ways to recruit the other party and get them to run errands for him.

It was also necessary to restore Liu Piaopiao's soul power and give her some trump cards for their protection.

The divine soul of a Heaven realm expert would be enough to stir up the Asura Ancient Land.

After all, it was a little boring to stay in seclusion and not smash the chessboard or mess up other people's plans.

Of course, in order to ensure that Liu Piaopiao would not go wild in the Southern Region, Chu Xuan secretly planted a soul seal in the soul nurturing liquid.

He poured out a drop of the soul nurturing liquid, which now looked like a seal. It was very mysterious, right?

It would shock those who saw it. After all, a senior expert's treasure had to be extraordinary.

Once it was incorporated into her divine soul, she would no longer be capable of harboring ill intentions toward him.

Chu Xuan was secretly pleased.

When Liu Piaopiao's soul recovered, Xiao Liang would once again have a trump card, and his confidence would be greatly boosted.

He was journeying to the Southern Region to temper himself. However, he would not reach there anytime soon. Still, he would definitely arrive before the opening of the Asura Ancient Land.

By that time, Chu Xuan would have broken through to the Heaven realm.

"Little girl, your cultivation realm is too low, so I don't have any treasures that are suitable for you. This bottle of soul nurturing liquid is barely passable, and it just so happens that you can use it. One drop can recover your soul power consumption. I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, he tossed the bottle over through the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Liu Piaopiao was extremely excited.

Without the support of her physical body, it was incredibly difficult to recover the consumption of her soul power.

As long as she could recover the consumption of her soul power, she would be more confident when facing their enemies. Even if she ended up fighting against an expert who had just entered the Heaven realm, she was confident that she could escape with Xiao Liang.

She caught the small bottle.

Chu Xuan continued, "Take one drop and see if you can withstand it."

Of course, he had to personally see if the soul seed seal could be absorbed into her divine soul.

Giving someone a bottle of soul nurturing liquid for free was not something he would do anyway.

"Yes, Senior."

Liu Piaopiao did not hesitate and felt even more grateful to Senior.

He was worried that her soul could not withstand it and that something unexpected would happen. If she took it while he watched, Senior could save her in time if something went wrong.

Senior's was such a noble person! Perhaps this was the true bearing of a senior expert!

Liu Piaopiao poured out a drop of the soul nurturing liquid.

A drop of clear liquid appeared. It seemed to be wrapped around a small seal.

Liu Piaopiao exclaimed in surprise. As expected of the treasure given by Senior, it actually had its own form.

She then consumed the drop of soul nurturing liquid.

Her exhausted divine soul was continuously nourished and quickly recovered.

At the same time, her favorability toward Senior soared. All of the doubts and questions she had about him disappeared.

Liu Piaopiao was moved.

After receiving such a gift from Senior, if her reverence for him did not increase, she would have doubted her own character.

At least it seemed like her character was still upright and she knew how to repay favors!

Therefore, she felt that it was very normal for her to revere him more.

In a short while, the soul power that she had used up completely recovered, returning to its peak state.

Liu Piaopiao was extremely grateful!

Chu Xuan was relieved. The bottle of soul nurturing liquid was well spent!

Xiao Liang was her disciple. If his soul was damaged, he would also be given a drop of the soul nurturing liquid. The soul seal would naturally then be incorporated into his soul.

Even if the soul nurturing liquid in Liu Piaopiao's hand was stolen, sold, or borrowed by a good friend, it just meant that he would have a few more servants.

Chapter 71: Soul Communion Dao Technique

Chu Xuan suddenly realized that he could actually control a person without being noticed.

He could infuse the soul seed seal into heavenly materials and earthly treasures and sell them to certain experts. Once the other party consumed it, they would be controlled by him.

Of course, the prerequisite for this was that the soul seed seal had to beused on the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the soul category.

Chu Xuan memorized this insidious method of silently controlling a person.

Perhaps it might come in handy in the future.

Xiao Liang prostrated himself on the ground, feeling a little anxious.

Senior seemed to have forgotten about him.

Could it be that Senior had neglected his existence because Master was a beautiful woman?

Of course, if Master obtained an opportunity, it also meant that he had gained his own opportunity.

However, he secretly wanted Senior to directly give him something as well.

"Senior!" Xiao Liang raised his head pitifully.

"Little fellow."

Chu Xuan shook his head and could not help but laugh. He said, "Forget it. This venerable self created a simple technique countless years ago. I'll teach it to you."

"This should suit your current needs. Little Fellow, you have to remember that the greatest opportunities are the ones that you can use."

As he spoke, he threw a small booklet over.

It contained a secret aura concealment technique that he had just jotted down.

A divine technique!

Since he was a senior expert, the level of the gifts he gave naturally had to match his lofty demeanor. As such, the lowest level technique he could provide was a divine technique.

Xiao Liang could also use this technique to avoid the Xiao clan's pursuit, and he could even secretly make his way back to take revenge.

In the novels, the protagonists that were hunted down relied on powerful concealment techniques to turn misfortune into luck, and even used them to cause all sorts of trouble.

Since Xiao Liang did not have one, he figured he would give one to him.

This would allow him to truly possess the characteristics of a protagonist.

Xiao Liang was overjoyed. He caught the booklet that floated down and was instantly shocked after reading it.

An aura concealing divine technique!

Once he cultivated this technique, even a Heaven realm expert would not be able to detect him!

Senior was too powerful.

The simple techniques that he casually created countless years ago were actually divine techniques.

"Thank you Senior for bestowing this technique on me!"

Xiao Liang respectfully kowtowed three times.

What a polite young man. Chu Xuan was greatly gratified.

"Work hard in your cultivation. This venerable one will not disturb you further."

He had almost finished his act, and his goal had been achieved. It was time to leave.

Chu Xuan did not waste the last mark of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror on Xiao Liang.

This fellow would not die.

Moreover, his intended destination was the Southern Region.

As long as he entered the Southern Region, he would be able to find him through the Black Moon Tower's intelligence network.

"Junior earnestly requests Senior to grace us with your honorific title, so that Junior can forever remember it in my heart and be grateful for Senior's great kindness!"

Liu Piaopiao suddenly prostrated herself.

Honorific title?

Chu Xuan was tempted. He had already deceived quite a few people, so how could he not even have a name?

Moreover, he would continue to deceive them.

Perhaps one day, these people who had been deceived by him, or who he had been taken in as his servants, would meet each other and get into some sort of conflict with each other.

He did not want them to kill each other. Therefore, it was very necessary for him to leave them with a title by which they could identify each other.

Since he wanted to leave an honorific title, he naturally had to come up with one that sounded like a super big shot.

Chu Xuan thought about it and said, "My honorific title…"

He seemed to be deep in thought and, after a long while, he said with a slightly emotional tone, "It was a long time ago, but the powerhouses in the myriad realms all called me 'eternal, immortal, handsome, unparalleled, mighty, virtuous, supreme and holy number one Dao master in the myriad realms.' The name is a little long, but it was more or less such a name."

Liu Piaopiao and Xiao Liang were stunned when they heard it.

They did not understand how awesome it was!

It was so awesome!

"I, Liu Piaopiao, am thankful for the gift from the number one Dao Master of the myriad realms!"

Liu Piaopiao was momentarily stunned, after which she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Xiao Liang followed closely behind.

"You're both thoughtful juniors," Chu Xuan said with a very gratified tone.

"Let's meet again if fate allows. If we're fated, I'll give you another opportunity."

After saying that, Chu Xuan deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

"I respectfully send off the mighty, virtuous, supreme,and holy number one Dao master!"

Liu Piaopiao and Xiao Liang respectfully said.

Their hearts were filled with excitement. At the same time, they prayed that they would be able to meet this senior again and obtain the great opportunity that he promised to bestow upon them.

"Liang'er, this is a great opportunity for us, master and disciple. We must not disappoint that senior!"

"Master, I understand."

Xiao Liang's gaze was resolute as he replied in high spirits, "The nine zones and fifty regions are no longer my goal. I want to go to the myriad realms!"

Ren Changhe, the Celestial Master, was also just a small pawn. He no longer regarded him as a role model.

Xiao Liang had already thrown Ren Changhe to the back of his mind.

"Good job, Liang'er. This is all because my understanding of the world was too lacking in the past." Liu Piaopiao sighed.

"I'm going into seclusion to understand how the soul communicates with the Great Dao."

"Master, don't worry about entering seclusion. With the secret technique that senior gave me, the Xiao clan won't be able to find me."

Liu Piaopiao returned to the jade pendant while Xiao Liang continued to heal his injuries.

When Chu Xuan deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror, a system notification appeared.

"You used your eloquence and an ingenious scheme to trick a Heaven realm servant into giving you an extremely resounding title. You have been rewarded with the Soul Communion Dao technique."

As expected!

His bluff had triggered the system's reward.

Chu Xuan had gradually figured out the rules behind the system's rewards.

He examined his new reward.

"The soul can be transported into the Great Dao and live within it. It can mobilize a part of the power of the Great Dao for its own use (depending on the strength of the soul) . It allows the user to send a wisp of their soul into the Great Dao…"

This was a very powerful secret technique.

The soul sustained by the Great Dao…

In theory, as long as the Great Dao that sustained the soul did not collapse, the soul would never be annihilated.

Moreover, it could mobilize a portion of the power of the Great Dao for its own use.

However, the amount of power that could be mobilized from the Great Dao depended on the level of the soul.

This technique would usually only be used to completely entrust the soul to the Great Dao when one's physical body died.

One could also rely on this technique to temporarily entrust one's soul to the Great Dao, allowing one to gain a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.

Moreover, one could split a wisp of one's soul and entrust it to the Great Dao. This soul wisp could then constantly comprehend the Great Dao, and one could even borrow the power of the Great Dao to fight against one's enemies.

In addition, it was a life-saving secret technique. If one entrusted a wisp of one's soul to the Great Dao, in the event of death, one could rely on this soul wisp to recover.

This would help the user avoid death and have their Dao disappear!

It was an extremely powerful secret technique.

Chu Xuan sighed. The system's products were indeed awesome.

With the Soul Communion Dao technique, one could comprehend the various laws of Heaven and Earth.

It had to be known that the laws of Heaven and Earth were far less profound than the Great Dao.

Chu Xuan then received the Soul Communion Dao technique.

He closed his eyes slightly and comprehended the profundity and power of this secret technique.

It took him several hours to completely comprehend it.

After comprehending the Soul Communion Dao technique, Chu Xuan was able to create several techniques that relied on the laws of Heaven and Earth.

It all seemed too simple now.

It was like studying the knowledge from kindergarten all the way to high school all at once. Looking back, the kindergarten questions that he once thought were difficult had naturally become simple.

He could probably even endlessly create more of these techniques. Chu Xuan was in such a state.

Report chapter

Chapter 72: Myriad Laws Daoist Robe

Chu Xuan pondered for a long time before finally creating a technique that allowed his soul to be entrusted to the laws of Heaven and Earth. He could also send out a wisp of his soul in the same manner.

However, this technique could only be cultivated by those at the Emperor realm and above.

When an Emperor realm expert cultivated this technique and combined it with the power of their domain, their strength would double.

They could continuously draw upon the power of the laws of Heaven and Earth in the region to perfect the laws of their domain.

It was not an exaggeration to say that cultivating this technique could greatly increase the success rate of breaking through from the Emperor realm to the Supreme realm.

Chu Xuan was delighted. Although this secret technique was far inferior to the Soul Communion Dao technique, it was still the first secret technique he had personally created.

It was worth celebrating.

Unfortunately, the Myriad Heavenly Mirror had already been used three times today.

First, he had to give it a name.

"Let's call it the Heaven and Earth Minor Technique."

It could only be considered a minor technique. He was the "almighty, great, virtuous, and supreme, and holy number one Dao master", so naturally, such a cultivation technique was only worthy of being called a minor technique.

Chu Xuan decided that if Liu Piaopiao was lucky enough to be connected to the Myriad Heavenly Mirror again, he would pass this minor technique to her.

In any case, she was already his disciple.

If he gave her a minor technique that he created himself, she would be able to run errands for him better.

"You stayed in seclusion and created a minor secret technique. You have been rewarded with the Myriad Laws Daoist Robe."

The system reward was triggered?

Chu Xuan was delighted. As expected, he could always rely on the system to give him good stuff when it mattered.

He received the reward.

It was a long robe that contained a Dao charm, as if it was surrounded by the Great Dao, or perhaps even woven from the Great Dao.

It almost did not seem to be a piece of clothing, but part of the vast Great Dao instead.

Chu Xuan put on the Daoist robe. He felt as if he was bathing in the Great Dao. His comprehension of the Great Dao soared.

What a treasure!

With but a thought, the Daoist robe would change its appearance according to his will.

After putting on this robe, Chu Xuan believed that he could fool even Divine realm experts!

From a glance, he seemed like the personification of the Great Dao itself.

So what if the other party was a Divine realm expert? He would fool them as well!

With the divine light, the divine image, and the Daoist robe, no expert would be able to escape his trickery.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was in high spirits. He wished that the Myriad Heavenly Mirror would connect him to a Divine realm expert so that he could trick that expert into becoming his servant.

With a thought, the robe's Dao charm became restrained and ordinary, as if the robe was an ordinary piece of clothing.

Chu Xuan was in a good mood. After staying in seclusion for so long, today was the best day of his life.

Not only did he obtain a beautiful female servant with Heaven realm cultivation, but he also created a minor technique and received the reward of the Myriad Laws Daoist robe.

He took out a sword casually.

It was a divine weapon.

He threw it in front of Ding Yue, who was inside the universe space.

"Disciple, I'm happy today, so I'll give this sword to you."

Ding Yue looked at the sword in front of him with a shocked expression.

This was an emperor-level weapon?

He had a feeling that this sword was not a simple emperor-level weapon.

Looking at it carefully, the sword seemed to have a spirit. It was surrounded by the laws, and seemed sharp even though it was currently sheathed. It was quite extraordinary.

More importantly, this sword could be stored in one's dantian, allowing it to be nourished by spiritual power at all times.

A weapon that could be stored in one's dantian was definitely not an ordinary emperor-level weapon. It was a rare treasure that had certain characteristics. Perhaps it had even been forged with special materials. It could be nourished and strengthened continuously.

Master was too extravagant!

At this moment, Ding Yue was filled with tears of gratitude!

He had just acknowledged him as his master, and his master had already given him such a precious treasure. It was as if he had received a mountain of kindness!

He reached out to grab the hilt of the sword. He wanted to store the sword in his dantian to nourish it, but his instincts told him that with his current cultivation, it would take a very long time for him to nurture the sword.

If he focused on nourishing the sword during this period of time, it would be difficult for his cultivation to improve.

Buzz!

The sword vibrated as if it was transmitting joy.

As expected, this sword had a spirit!

Su Xian'er's face was filled with envy and jealousy!

She had been a maid for such a long time and had been diligent and hardworking. She had done all kinds of dirty and tiring work, and she had done it to Chu Xuan's satisfaction.

However, until now, she had not received a single treasure.

As for Ding Yue, he had just become a disciple not long ago, but he had already been given a divine sword!

Ding Yue did not know how valuable it was, but Su Xian'er did.

After all, she had come from a large family in the Central Region and had seen many emperor-level weapons. She had even seen heavenly weapons before.

Whether it was the laws or the aura surrounding this sword, both were far greater than what a heavenly weapon was capable of exuding.

Naturally, it was a divine weapon.

"This is a divine weapon, a treasure sword. It is not something you can use at your level," Su Xian'er reminded him.

Ding Yue was shocked. It was actually a divine weapon?

He thought such things only existed in legends!

Gulp!

Ding Yue was so moved that he was about to cry. He rushed out of the universe space and knelt in front of Chu Xuan.

"I will never forget Master's great kindness!"

"Alright, alright, that's enough." Chu Xuan waved his hand.

It was just a divine weapon, nothing more.

Su Xian'er stood at the side sourly, looking at Chu Xuan with a wronged expression.

"Sir!"

"Okay, I get it. I'm happy today, so I'll give you a divine weapon too."

Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a snow-white whip appeared in front of Su Xian'er.

The snow-white whip was also surrounded by laws. One could vaguely sense that it contained the power of ice.

Su Xian'er was overjoyed. She held the long whip in her hand and immediately fell in love with it.

This long whip was just right for the cultivation technique she was currently cultivating.

"Thank you, Sir."

She happily held the long whip and returned to the universe space to cultivate.

It was a divine weapon!

Even the Su family did not have a clan-guarding treasure of this level.

Although she could not use it now, she would be able to unleash some of its power once she reached the Emperor realm.

When she was strong enough, she would return to the Central Region to take revenge. This would make those dog-eyed people from the Su family die of jealousy and regret!

"Consolidate your cultivation as soon as possible so that I can teach you the Supreme Sword Dao!"

Chu Xuan waved his hand and had Ding Yue return to the universe space to continue consolidating his cultivation.

He had broken through from the first level of the profound realm to the first level of the spirit realm. His cultivation had advanced too quickly, so he needed a certain amount of time to stabilize his cultivation.

Not everyone was like Chu Xuan, who could break through and stabilize his cultivation at the same time.

Chu Xuan lay on the deck chair, narrowed his eyes, and continued to comprehend the Great Dao.

Counting the time, there were only ten days left until the three-year milestone.

Now that he had broken through to the first level of the Supreme realm, it was time to completely control the Black Moon Tower of the Southern Region.

The true person in charge of the Black Moon Tower of the Southern Region was that mysterious one-star Tower Lord.

According to the information from the Black Moon Tower's guard department, the one-star Tower Lord was also the strongest person in the Southern Region.

The strongest cultivators in the Black Moon Tower's guard department were the three half-emperor realm experts. They were only a step away from becoming Emperor realm experts and would be able to do so after the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region recovered.

Now, they were all controlled by Chu Xuan.

The one-star Tower Lord had been confirmed to be an Emperor realm expert.

He was the strongest expert in the Southern Region aside from Chu Xuan.

He was also the reason why the unruly evil imperial court did not dare to rob the Black Moon Tower. The presence of a true Emperor realm expert in the dark acted as a deterrent.

A half-emperor realm expert might be only one step away from breaking through to the Emperor realm. However, compared to a true Emperor realm expert, the difference in their combat strength was still vast.

Even if a half-emperor realm expert could use a false domain, he would still be powerless against an actual Emperor realm expert.

However, Chu Xuan had broken through to the Supreme realm. He would be able to suppress an Emperor realm expert with a single finger.

The one-star Tower Lord was only at the first level of the Emperor realm anyway. He could easily suppress this Tower Lord even if he was armed with a variety of secret treasures from the Black Moon Tower.

Report chapter

Chapter 73: Three-Year Milestone Reward, Soul-Chasing Bow

Chu Xuan called Su Xian'er over and asked her to send a message to Bao Hongyan to find a way to contact the one-star Tower Lord.

As long as she could meet him, she could suppress him and forcefully plant a soul seal on him.

One day later, Bao Hongyan arrived.

The one-star Tower Lord rarely saw anyone, even the gold-level Tower Lords. He would only appear if there was an important matter or if the Black Moon Tower encountered something that the gold-level Tower Lords could not resolve.

Therefore, Bao Hongyan was unable to meet with him for the time being.

Chu Xuan knocked on the armrest with his finger and threw a pill over to Bao Hongyan.

"This pill is very beneficial to Emperor realm cultivators. I believe this will give him enough incentive to meet you."

Bao Hongyan looked at the pill in her hand and inwardly exclaimed, 'Even the Black Moon Tower didn't have such a perfect emperor-level pill'.

"Yes, Master. I will definitely complete this mission."

Bao Hongyan no longer had any thoughts about climbing the ranks of the Black Moon Tower. After all, it was only a matter of time before the Black Moon Tower changed hands.

Right now, she only wanted to efficiently carry out Chu Xuan's orders and ride on his coattails.

She wanted to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible.

Chu Xuan had chosen to train her among the three gold-level Tower Lords. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as her cultivation reached the peak of the truth realm, she could rely on a pill like this to break through to the Emperor realm.

As a member of the Black Moon Tower, she could apply to leave the Southern Region temporarily to head to another region where the laws of Heaven and Earth were intact in order to break through.

Chu Xuan had given her pills that were beneficial for truth realm cultivators, therefore her cultivation speed had progressed rapidly. For Bao Hongyan, meeting Chu Xuan was her biggest opportunity.

Before Bao Hongyan left, Chu Xuan asked her to pay attention to any news about Xiao Liang. If she discovered Xiao Liang's arrival in the Southern Region, she had to report the news to him immediately.

One day later.

The mysterious one-star Tower Lord stood in front of Chu Xuan in a respectful manner.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Chu Xuan was speechless.

The one-star Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower, the actual person in charge of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region, was a first-level Emperor realm cultivator.

Chu Xuan finally understood why the Black Moon Tower was willing to send an Emperor realm expert to guard the barren Southern Region.

It was all because Lao Gui Tai's strength was weak and his aptitude was poor. The first level of the Emperor realm was basically his limit.

If he wanted to advance further, he would have to encounter either great fortune or a fortuitous encounter.

More importantly, Lao Gui Tai did not have much time left.

He could only live for a mere hundred years more before reaching his lifespan limit.

Perhaps he had come to the Southern Region to seek out the Asura Ancient Land in a final attempt to obtain an opportunity to advance further and extend his lifespan.

It was no wonder he rarely appeared. He was busy thinking about how to break through and extend his lifespan.

That being said, he had made the right decision in coming to the Southern Region. The medicinal pill that Chu Xuan passed to Bao Hongyan to lure him out could be considered his opportunity.

With that medicinal pill, it would not be a problem for him to break through to the second level of the Emperor realm given the foundation that he had accumulated over countless years.

His lifespan would be extended, but that was all.

The moment Chu Xuan laid eyes on him, he gave up on the idea of nurturing him. His level of talent was too low, which made the entire venture unprofitable.

That medicinal pill could be considered as his reward for working for Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan promptly asked him about the Asura Ancient Land.

He knew much more than Bao Hongyan and the other two gold-level Tower Lords.

For example, he told Chu Xuan that the Asura Ancient Land was trapped in a space somewhere and that, during that battle, many major powers in the Southern Region had perished.

The locations of these large factions and sects disappeared together with the Asura Ancient Land during the battle. Once the natural laws of the Southern Region were restored, they would gradually reappear.

Some of the current historical sites in the Southern Region had actually been the territories of some of these factions or large families that had disappeared due to the battle.

The gradual recovery of the natural laws caused these historical sites that had disappeared to reappear in this world.

As for that battle itself, Lao Gui Tai had read about it in the records of the Black Moon Tower.

It seemed that it had been a plot back then to subvert the Great Qin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, he was unaware of the specific details. As a one-star Tower Lord, there were still many high-level secrets that he was not privy to.

His immediate superior was his senior brother, a third-level Emperor realm expert and a two-star Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower.

This two-star Tower Lord resided in the Northern Region.

He also did not know where the headquarters of the Black Moon Tower was or who the true person in charge above it all was.

The most valuable information Chu Xuan obtained from Lao Gui Tai was regarding the major forces in the Southern Region.

The three sects and two empires were actually not limited to the Southern Region. After the war with the demons, the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region collapsed, and these major forces were forced to leave the Southern Region.

As such, the forces they left behind in the Southern Region could only be considered branches that protected their original territories.

The Great Qian Dynasty had the shortest legacy among them, being founded after the war with the demons.

He allowed Lao Gui Tai to leave. Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. The three sects and two empires had deep foundations.

How could the Great Qin Dynasty, which Qin Keyun had just founded, fight against the Great Qian Dynasty?

At the moment, things were still stable. However, once the Asura Ancient Land opened, the main forces behind these various factions would return. How could Qin Keyun resist them then?

Would the Great Qin Emperor return as well?

Was Qin Keyun only paving the way for the Great Qin Emperor's return?

Was the person who plotted against the Great Qin Emperor related to the Great Qian Dynasty?

The possibility of this being the case was very high.

Chu Xuan did not dwell on the matter. He would ignore such problems so long as it did not affect him or his seclusion.

The three-year milestone was coming. Chu Xuan waited with bated breath for the rewards he would receive.

Time passed peacefully.

Su Xian'er was working hard on her cultivation, adamant about becoming strong enough to take revenge on the Su family back in the Central Region as soon as possible.

Ding Yue continued to consolidate his cultivation after his breakthrough.

Yesterday, Chu Tianming's roar could be heard from the ancestral residence again.

Chu Xuan sighed. It was fortunate that Chu Yuan had left the family's territory. Otherwise, he might have been skinned alive by the furious Chu Tianming and family elders.

He had become a sinner of the Chu family.

"You've been cooped up for three years. Continue to work hard and stay in seclusion. You have been rewarded with the Soul-chasing Bow."

The reward for three years of seclusion was actually a bow.

Chu Xuan received the reward.

A simple brownish-yellow bow appeared in his hand.

There were fine lines engraved on the bow. They were spread out in a regular pattern. The Dao charm lingered around them. The fine lines almost looked like a great road.

The bowstring was ethereal and did not have a physical form. It looked like part of the Great Dao itself.

Chu Xuan was amazed. This bow was definitely not simple.

He examined the description of the Soul-chasing Bow.

"The Soul-chasing Bow imbues the power of the Great Dao and the laws into its arrows. Every arrow strikes true, regardless of distance or space…"

After reading the description of the Soul-chasing Bow, Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He finally had the ability to kill enemies without leaving his house.

In terms of cultivation, the Soul-chasing Bow imbued the power of the laws of Heaven and Earth into the arrows. If one's cultivation was strong enough, the bow would imbue the power of the Great Dao into the arrows.

Every arrow would strike true. Moreover, it ignored space and distance.

As long as he planted a soul-chasing seal on the enemy's body. No matter which space or secret realm the enemy hid in, he would still be able to hit them from inside his small courtyard.

Moreover, if his cultivation was strong enough, he only needed to silently recite the name of the person, after which the Soul-chasing Bow would be able to lock onto the person and shoot him to death!

In such a scenario, there was no need for him to plant the soul-chasing seal on the person, or even meet them.

He only needed to silently recite their name and it would lock onto the person he wanted to kill. No matter how far apart they were, he would be able to shoot the other person.

It was terrifying!

Chapter 74: Ancient Sites And Black Heart Grass

Although the Soul-chasing Bow was unreasonably strong, Chu Xuan was not able to use it to its full potential at the moment. He could not lock onto and kill a person with just a thought.

No matter how powerful a weapon was, it still needed to be wielded by someone with sufficient strength.

At the current stage, Chu Xuan could either lock onto the enemy with the soul-chasing seal, capture a trace of the enemy's aura, or use other methods to locate the enemy.

Only by doing so would he be able to ignore distance and space and shoot them to death.

Moreover, if the person he had locked onto was too strong, the person could also withstand his attacks.

After all, the power of the arrows was also related to his own cultivation.

Given Chu Xuan's current first-level Supreme realm cultivation, it was definitely impossible for him to kill a Heaven realm expert.

Chu Xuan played around with the Soul-chasing Bow for a while before putting it away with great satisfaction.

In the future, even if he stayed inside the small courtyard, he would have the ability to make a move personally.

There were many ways to locate the enemy; the soul-chasing seal was only one of them.

Once the soul chasing seal was planted, it could not be removed. Its function complemented the Soul-chasing Bow.

Chu Xuan decided to give the method to plant the soul-chasing seal to those who needed it.

For example, Ding Yue and Su Xian'er.

Once the two of them encountered an invincible expert outside and needed their help, they could use the soul-chasing seal on the enemy.

That way, Chu Xuan could immediately locate and kill the other party.

If the reward he received for the three-year milestone was this powerful, then what kind of reward would he receive at the five-year milestone?

Or even the ten-year milestone?

Chu Xuan was filled with anticipation.

…

Somewhere in the Southern Region.

Chu Yun stood on a small hill and stared at a certain location where ripples were forming in front of her.

An ancient site was about to appear.

Every ancient site meant an opportunity.

It was just a matter of the size of the fortuitous encounter. Those who came back from these ancient sites would never return empty-handed.

Of course, some ancient sites also contained a certain amount of danger.

Chu Yun had just broken through to the fourth level of the spirit realm. Given her age, it could be said that her talent was outstanding.

After all, the laws of the Southern Region were incomplete and relatively barren. Cultivation here would be slower than in other regions.

As the laws of Heaven and Earth continued to recover, the speed of her cultivation was already accelerating.

The laws of Heaven and Earth's recovery was a sign!

Chu Yun was already able to refine high-quality void unity pills. Despite only possessing a spirit realm cultivation, she was actually able to refine a pill that could be used by void realm martial artists, and even unity realm martial artists. The level of her talent was extremely hard-to-come-by in the Southern Region.

"I wonder how the Chu family is doing now?"

"They wouldn't make things too difficult for thirteenth brother, right?"

Chu Yun naturally knew about the changes that were happening in the Great Qin Dynasty. She was worried that Chu Xuan would be treated badly by the Chu family because of this.

She was also informed about the Chu family's situation.

She sighed in her heart. It was fortunate that Chu Yuan was not in the Chu family. Otherwise, he would be finished!

"After exploring this ancient site, I will return to Chu County!"

After waiting for another day, the ancient site finally opened.

It appeared to be a medicinal garden.

Chu Yun was overjoyed, but she still entered carefully, wary of the possible dangers.

A day later, Chu Yun reaped a bountiful harvest.

She looked at a large rock in front of her. There was a purple umbrella-shaped grass with seven leaves growing under the rock. She was pleasantly surprised.

"Black heart grass!"

Unable to hold back her excitement, she went forward and plucked the black heart grass. She carefully took out a jade box and put it away.

"With this black heart grass, thirteenth brother will definitely be able to cultivate to the profound realm, spirit realm, or even higher."

The black heart grass was a rare spiritual medicine that could increase a martial artist's natural talent.

When Chu Yun saw the black heart grass, her first thought was to give it to Chu Xuan.

As long as Chu Xuan's natural talent increased, there would be hope for him to break through to the profound realm, spirit realm, or even higher.

After she collected the black heart grass, her harvest of all the ancient spirit herbs in this small medicinal garden was complete.

Chu Yun was ready to return to Chu County.

"Miss, you stole my family's spirit herbs. Shouldn't you be giving me an explanation?"

Chu Yun's expression changed, and she turned around to look.

A young man with a lewd expression and lecherous smile was walking over from the entrance of the ancient site.

He was a sixth-level spirit realm cultivator!

"Your family's spirit herbs? Those who are fated to enter the ancient sites are their rightful owners."

Chu Yun cautiously took a step forward and headed toward the entrance of the ancient site.

"Who said that this was an ancient site? This is clearly my family's medicinal garden!"

The young man flashed and blocked Chu Yun's path.

Bang!

Chu Yun directly made her move.

She was not a fool. Although she had not personally experienced encounters where others would kill people and steal their treasures, she had heard a lot about it.

The other party clearly had evil intentions and wanted to snatch her treasures and kill her.

"Oh, little girl, you are quite spicy. I like it."

The young man raised his sword and stabbed out, blocking Chu Yun's attack.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Chu Yun attacked consecutively. Although she was two levels lower than the young man, her strength was not weak at all.

After all, she cultivated the Great Luo Emperor Scripture!

The young man's expression changed slightly. He had been forced to retreat dozens of meters away.

Chu Yun took the opportunity to escape the ancient site.

"Little Girl, you can't escape. Put down the black heart grass obediently!"

The young man chased after her.

"Quick, stop her!"

Chu Yun had just escaped out of the entrance of the ancient site when a middle-aged man suddenly appeared and blocked her path.

Spiritual power fist shadows covered all of her escape routes!

They trapped her.

Chu Yun's expression changed drastically. Was this a truth realm expert?

"Little Beauty, why aren't you running anymore?"

The young man chased after her with a smile.

Chu Yun's heart sank. The Chu family could not afford to offend a truth realm.

At this time, she could only hope that the mysterious senior would save her.

"Hand over the black heart grass and I won't make things difficult for you. I'll even marry you. This is a great honor for you."

The young man laughed very happily.

"Wishful thinking. You don't deserve to marry me!" Chu Yun gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"How am I not worthy? Do you know who I am?"

The young man straightened his back and said, "Listen carefully. I am the young master of Nine Swords Mountain, Song Pang!"

The young master of Nine Swords Mountain?

Chu Yun had a look of suspicion on her face.

The young master of Nine Swords Mountain, one of the three sects and two empires, only possessed this tiny bit of strength?

Song Pang said in embarrassment, "What do you know? This young master is trying to solidify my foundation!"

Chu Yun understood. The other party's aptitude was not high, which was why he was so determined to obtain the black heart grass.

"Hand over the black heart grass. If you don't, then don't blame this young master for taking action!"

"Even if you really are the young master of Nine Swords Mountain, don't even think about getting your hands on this!" Chu Yun said with a firm gaze.

The Chu family could not afford to offend Nine Swords Mountain, but the black heart grass was too important. It was the key to whether Chu Xuan could break through to the profound realm, or perhaps even the spirit realm.

"Catch her!" Song Pang shouted angrily.

He knew that if he attacked, he would not be able to defeat her, let alone catch her.

With a thought, the middle-aged man activated his spiritual power by performing certain hand seals and captured Chu Yun.

At this moment, a figure appeared silently.

With a simple attack, he broke the middle-aged man's spiritual power technique.

The newcomer had a cold expression. He was dressed in black and had a mask on his face. It seemed like he was a servant!

He was a third-level of the truth realm cultivator!

"Who are you? How dare you offend my Nine Swords Mountain?"

"Heh, Nine Swords Mountain, is that something worth bragging about?" The masked man smiled contemptuously.

Chu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. The person she relied on was that mysterious senior.

The masked man before her should be that senior's servant.

Since a servant already possessed the cultivation of the truth realm, then that senior must be even stronger.

"Thank you, senior."

Chu Yun cupped her hands and bowed. Without looking at Song Pang, she left.

Report chapter

Chapter 75: My Disciple Must Never Be A Simp!

This was the second time the masked man had appeared. Before this, Chu Yun had also encountered a crisis.

It was the masked man who had appeared to protect her back then too.

He claimed that he had been ordered by his master to protect her secretly.

He was a quiet person, so he did not converse much with Chu Yun and left soon after.

She secretly made up her mind that she had to work hard to research alchemy and cultivate. She had to do her best to obtain this senior's approval as soon as possible.

As long as she received this senior's approval, everything she did today would not bring disaster to the Chu family.

On the contrary, the Chu family would have a powerful backer.

From the masked man's tone, it was clear that Senior did not care about the threat of Nine Swords Mountain.

It was clear from this just how powerful Senior was.

Chu Yun had once suspected that the mysterious senior was an expert from Heavenly Cauldron Mountain.

The masked man denied it and even disdained Heavenly Cauldron Mountain.

Therefore, Chu Yun had a bold thought.

The mysterious senior was most likely an expert from outside the Southern Region.

There was even a possibility that he was an Emperor realm expert.

Otherwise, why would he look down on Heavenly Cauldron Mountain and not fear Nine Swords Mountain?

Song Pang watched Chu Yun leave with a gloomy face.

His guard could not defeat the masked man.

However, he needed the black heart grass to raise his innate talent, so he was not willing to give up.

"Let's go!"

He and his guard rushed back to Nine Swords Mountain!

After Chu Xuan finished reading the information about Chu Yun from the Black Moon Tower, he laughed lightly. The young master of the Nine Swords Mountain, in terms of his status, was a good-for-nothing.

The black heart grass was indeed a good spirit herb.

However, it was useless to him.

In terms of talent, who could compare to him?

It was no wonder the young master of Nine Swords Mountain was so determined to obtain it.

After all, although he was the young master, due to his lacking talent and cultivation base, many geniuses in Nine Swords Mountain probably looked down on him.

With his tiny bit of talent, it was absolutely impossible for him to take over the leadership of Nine Swords Mountain in the future.

Nine Swords Mountain was a sect, not a clan.

Moreover, even if it was a clan, if the clan master's son was too useless, it would be extremely difficult for him to take over the clan.

Even if he took over the clan, it would not be long before his position or authority was usurped.

Chu Yun was on her way back to Chu County.

With the nine sword mountain's abilities, it would not be too difficult to find out who Chu Yun was.

Soon, the Nine Sword Mountain's sect master would bring his son to attack her.

Chu Xuan was looking forward to the other party's attempt. If he was not mistaken, Nine Sword Mountain should be related to Great Qin's Emperor

They were likely also one of the parties involved in the plot behind the Asura Ancient Land. Perhaps someone had placed a chess piece at Nine Swords Mountain to stir up trouble at that crucial moment.

"Master, I've already consolidated my cultivation." Ding Yue respectfully stood in front of Chu Xuan.

His eyes were filled with respect and worship. His master was too powerful and mysterious.

He had casually given his new disciple a divine sword!

"En."

Chu Xuan nodded and looked at Ding Yue, falling into a state of deep thought.

His disciple had a childhood sweetheart. Even though she had dumped him, Ding Yue might still be harboring hopes of once again reuniting with her.

In fact, he might even be thinking that, once his cultivation rose, he would be qualified to pursue his childhood sweetheart?

The possibility of them getting back together was not high.

However, if that childhood sweetheart of his acted coquettishly and cute, she might say that the reason why she fell in love with someone else was to test him and stimulate his potential.

She would then say that she still had feelings for him, and that she would not marry anyone other than him.

Would that fellow Ding Yue be so moved to the point of reconciling with his childhood sweetheart without any repercussions?

That would not do!

Chu Xuan's disciple could not be a simp!

Before this, Ding Yue's sword pulse had yet to be activated, so his meridians were blocked. The experts at Nine Swords Mountain were unable to discover his hidden talent.

They only believed him to be a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

The Heaven's Will Sword Pulse was a rarely seen sword pulse in this world. Very few people had the capability of unearthing Ding Yue's supreme talent in Sword Dao.

In addition, Ding Yue's meridians were blocked and his cultivation progressed extremely slowly. No one would take him seriously and it was unlikely that he would be carefully examined for his talent.

Now that Ding Yue's Heaven's Will Sword Pulse had been activated, his talent in Sword Dao became unparalleled.

Would Nine Swords Mountain still let him leave if they found out?

They would definitely try their best to keep him.

Ding Yue had already acknowledged Chu Xuan as his master and would definitely not return to Nine Swords Mountain. However, the nine swords mountain would not sever their connection with him just like that.

Once they discovered his newfound talent, they would definitely try their best to use his childhood sweetheart to woo him back to their side.

At the same time, they would also be able to obtain some treasures from Ding Yue's mysterious master and befriend an expert.

Therefore, Ding Yue absolutely could not be a simp!

He had to completely forget his childhood sweetheart!

Chu Xuan quickly came up with a plan.

He looked at Ding Yue and said, "Your talent in Sword Dao is excellent, and you have a chance to tread on the path of the Supreme Sword. However, if you want to tread on the path of the Supreme Sword, you have to break through the three stages of the way of the sword."

Ding Yue's expression was solemn as he said, "Master, what are the three stages of the way of the sword?"

Chu Xuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you know why there are so few top-notch sword experts in this world?"

"Do you know why countless sword cultivators are mediocre and have yet to display the true strength of the Sword Dao?"

Ding Yue was puzzled. Why did Master ask him this question?

The senior experts of Nine Swords Mountain were all very skilled in swordsmanship. Their combat strength was very fierce. It was difficult for them to be defeated by those of the same level.

However, since his master had asked him this question, it was likely that the experts of the way of the sword in his master's eyes were not quite the same as his understanding of the matter?

Perhaps those experts from Nine Swords Mountain were actually not very strong? Was his worldview limited by his poor cultivation? Was that why he believed them to be powerful?

After thinking for a moment, Ding Yue said, "Is it because they failed to hone themselves enough, or maybe their cultivation in the way of the sword was insufficient and their talent in the way of the sword was too poor?"

"No!"

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "It's because they only cultivated ordinary swordsmanship, and never progressed to the cultivation of the Supreme Sword!"

"Over the eras, there have been countless people who possessed outstanding talent in sword cultivation, and there were also people who were more talented than you. However, in the end, they did not step into the cultivation of the Supreme Sword and only ended up becoming ordinary sword cultivators that were just a little stronger than others."

Ding Yue fell into a state of deep thought.

After a long while, a thought flashed through his mind. He said, "I know, Master. It's because they haven't broken through the three stages of the way of the sword!"

Chu Xuan put on an expression that seemed to indicate that Ding Yue was a disciple that was worth teaching.

"Let me ask you, do you want to become a powerful and somewhat famous sword cultivator, or do you want to become a Sword Immortal who has mastered the Supreme Sword and is famous for all eternity?"

Sword Immortal?

Although he did not know how powerful a Sword Immortal was, Ding Yue could not help but be fascinated.

"Master, I want to be a Sword Immortal whose name is famous for all eternity. I want to tread the path of the Supreme Sword!" Ding Yue said with a firm expression.

"I'm very satisfied that you possess such determination."

Chu Xuan nodded with gratification. He was almost done with the setup. He then said, "If you want to tread the path of the Supreme Sword, you have to break through the three stages of the way of the sword."

"Master, I will definitely break through the three stages of the way of the sword. Please tell me what the three stages of the way of the sword are!"

Ding Yue's blood was boiling, and his gaze was resolute.

Su Xian'er stood at the side and listened in. She was very confused. The three stages of the way of the sword?

She had never heard of this before.

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Ding Yue's reaction. He said with satisfaction, "Very good. I believe that you will definitely break through the three stages of the way of the sword."

"Listen carefully. The first stage of the way of the sword is to sever the emotions that bind your heart. Forget about your sweetheart!"

"Ah?!"

Ding Yue was dumbfounded. The first stage of the way of the sword was this? He had to forget about his sweetheart?

Su Xian'er's mouth was wide open and her face was full of confusion.

Chapter 76: No Woman In Your Heart, Drawing Your Sword To Slay An Immortal

Ding Yue was completely dumbfounded.

The first stage of the way of the sword required him to forget his sweetheart?

Why did he have to forget his sweetheart?

A beautiful figure appeared in his mind.

Su Xian'er was also dumbfounded. What did one's sweetheart have to do with Sword Dao cultivation?

Chu Xuan had said it so seriously too. She thought that it was some extraordinary revelation about the way of the sword, but it turned out to be about forgetting his sweetheart?

"Do you know the meaning of the first stage of the way of the sword? Do you know why countless sword cultivators are unable to break through the first stage of the way of the sword and tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword?"

"If you can't even break through the first stage, how can you even talk about the Supreme Sword?"

Chu Xuan was not surprised by Ding Yue's reaction.

"Master, please enlighten me!"

Ding Yue's eyes were slightly confused.

Forget about his sweetheart?

Forget about her?

Would he not be able to tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword if he did not forget about her?

Ding Yue, who possessed the Heaven's Will Sword Pulse, had a special obsession with the Sword Dao.

"If you have someone in your heart, then where is the sword?"

Chu Xuan's voice was like the roar of the Great Dao as seven-colored divine light bloomed around his body.

A halo appeared behind his head and shone in all directions.

Sagemaster's Halo!

Looking at his master who was bathed in the seven-colored divine light, Ding Yue was shocked. He suddenly felt that everything his master said was true!

"Where is the sword?" Ding Yue muttered to himself.

"Can they coexist?" Lacking confidence, he asked carefully.

"How can it coexist? Since it coexists, is your sword still the only one? Is your sword still pure?"

Ding Yue's brain buzzed. Yes, how can it be exclusive if it coexists?

However, the beautiful figure in his mind was holding him back.

Forget her?

It was easier said than done!

"Let me ask you, if your sweetheart's friends and relatives want to kill you, will you let them?"

"If one day your sweetheart falls in love with someone else and wants to kill you, will your sword still be able to stab her?"

"If one day your sweetheart falls into the hands of the enemy and they threaten you with her life, what will you do?"

Chu Xuan's voice rang loudly like a bell as it echoed directly into Ding Yue's mind.

His face turned paler with each question.

"If there is another bond in your heart, where is the sword? How can you still focus on the way of the sword? How can you tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword?"

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ding Yue.

Ding Yue's face turned pale and his entire body started to shake.

For a moment, he did not know how to answer Chu Xuan or what decision to make.

What should he do? Did he really have to choose between his sweetheart and the Supreme Sword?

"You have to know that your sweetheart will only bring you harm!"

Chu Xuan saw that it was almost time, so he directly gave Ding Yue a heart-piercing blow.

Boom!

Ding Yue's brain was in overdrive!

His mind was filled with the words, "Your sweetheart will only bring you harm!"

In Nine Swords Mountain, he had been coldly reprimanded, stepped on, and slapped around.

He had been sent flying with a kick, and the people around him constantly mocked and ridiculed him!

Her pretty face had gone from a charming smile at the beginning to cold glares, ridicule, contempt, and humiliation later on.

She never looked at him again.

Ding Yue was panting and sweating profusely, and his face was twisted with pain.

Chu Xuan just looked at him.

As the fated person of the Southern Region, if he could not even pass this test, then he was too useless and unworthy of being Chu Xuan's disciple.

If Chu Xuan did not help him to free himself from this, Ding Yue would sooner or later be cheated by his childhood sweetheart!

Su Xian'er watched silently from the side. Ding Yue appeared to be in a painful dilemma. It was obvious that his sweetheart had caused him a lot of harm.

After ten minutes, Ding Yue gradually calmed down.

The beautiful figure in his mind was no longer gentle and beautiful, but cold and heartless instead.

Thinking back to the past, Ding Yue suddenly realized that he had been hurt all along.

His master was right. The one he loved would only bring him harm!

His gaze gradually became firm. He looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Master, I understand!"

"You are a promising young man!"

Chu Xuan was gratified. There was hope for his eldest disciple after all.

"Master, please enlighten me. What is the second stage of the way of the sword?"

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "The second stage of the way of the sword is, when you see a beautiful woman, don't let your mind wander. You must keep the soul of the sword in your heart!"

Ding Yue was a little confused.

Why was it related to a woman again?

"You don't understand?"

"Not really."

Chu Xuan's spiritual power condensed into a person. The person's face and appearance were rough.

The person condensed from his spiritual power stood next to Su Xian'er.

"Which one did you look at first? Who did you pay more attention to?" Chu Xuan asked.

Ding Yue looked over in confusion. The first person he saw was naturally Su Xian'er, who was dressed as a servant.

His attention was also more inclined to Su Xian'er.

After all, every normal man would pay more attention to the peerless beauty.

"It was Sister Su."

"You were distracted by her beauty, weren't you? Disciple, think about it. When you are fighting with someone, if a beautiful woman appears, she will either flirt with you or act extremely seductively. If you get distracted by her, what will happen to you?"

"Besides, in some illusions, there are countless beautiful women. If you are caught in them, your life will be forfeit."

"Why is it a woman's beauty? Weel, opposites attract. This is part of the Great Dao of Heaven!"

Ding Yue could already imagine the scene in his mind. He would be holding a longsword and confronting an enemy. Suddenly, from behind the enemy, a beautiful woman appeared and started flirting with him, trying to seduce him.

Would he not be distracted by her actions?

Given his current state of mind, he would definitely be distracted.

Once he was distracted, he would be killed!

Hiss!

When he thought of this, Ding Yue immediately sucked in a cold breath of air. His master's words were reasonable!

"Master, I will definitely break through the second stage as soon as possible!"

"En, that's good."

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Ding Yue's performance. "In the second stage, seeing a beautiful woman not being distracted is the first part, and having the soul of the sword in your heart is the second. As for what the soul of the sword is, everyone's comprehension is different. You will need to figure it out yourself!"

"Yes, Master!"

Su Xian'er was a little indignant. After all, up until now, she had only heard Chu Xuan express one thing — women were obstacles!

"Sir, can't a woman become a strong person?"

Chu Xuan glanced at her. Why was this little girl joining in on the fun?

"It varies from person to person, and it varies from dao to dao. Those who walk the path of the Supreme Sword must only be interested in the sword."

Chu Xuan continued, "In other words, it's the same for women who cultivate the Supreme Sword. Just change the distraction from a woman to a man."

"How can it be the same?"

Su Xian'er said unwillingly, "A woman won't be distracted when looking at a man, right?"

This little girl was still unconvinced.

Chu Xuan said seriously, "Let's not talk about whether you'd be distracted by a handsome man. Let me ask you this."

"When you are confronting an enemy, an ugly naked man shows up performing dirty gestures and poses in front of you. Will you be confused? Will you be angry? Will you be distracted? If you are not mentally strong, you'll probably scream."

Su Xian'er was stunned. Her master was indeed a teacher. He always looked at the problem with such depth.

If someone really did that, Su Xian'er could not guarantee that she would not get mad or be disturbed.

Can you handle this situation, little girl?

Chu Xuan ignored her dazed expression and turned his attention back to Ding Yue. "For the third stage of the way of the sword, if you don't have a woman in your heart, you can kill an immortal by drawing your sword!"

Ding Yue's blood immediately surged. 'If I don't have a woman in my heart, I'll be able to kill an immortal by drawing my sword?'

I, Ding Yue, must tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword and kill an immortal by drawing my sword!

"Disciple, you must remember that having a woman in your life will affect the speed at which you draw your sword!" Chu Xuan warned him solemnly.

"Master, I know. I will definitely break through the three stages of the way of the sword and tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword!"

Ding Yue's gaze was resolute. Sweetheart, get lost!

I, Ding Yue, am a man who wants to slaughter immortals!

Chapter 77: I Should Not Have A Sweetheart!

Chu Xuan looked pleased and said, "Disciple, I am very pleased that you possess such firm resolve."

"The three stages of the way of the sword are also three stages of the heartof the Sword Dao. Sever your emotional ties, forget your sweetheart; when looking at beautiful women, do not let your mind; and finally, having no woman in your heart."

"This is the secret way of the sword. Those who are not strong-willed or lack a firm Dao heart will not be able to complete the three stages of the way of the sword."

"There are countless ordinary sword cultivators. Very few have broken through the first stage. Naturally, these ordinary sword cultivators will not be able to tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword."

Su Xian'er suddenly thought of something and said, "That's not right, Sir. I recall that a certain Heartless Sword Technique exists in the world. Those who cultivate the Heartless Sword Technique possess no feelings in their hearts. Naturally, there will be no women in their hearts."

Chu Xuan glanced at her. This girl was deliberately causing trouble, right?

Ding Yue looked at Chu Xuan. It made sense. Since there was a Heartless Sword Technique in the world, could those who cultivated it be considered as having tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword?

Chu Xuan sneered and said, "The Heartless Sword Technique is something that only cowards cultivate. It's a deformed sword technique, a technique that the Great Dao doesn't acknowledge."

"The three stages of the Supreme Sword are directed toward the Great Dao. How can the Heartless Sword Technique be compared to it?"

"What does it mean to be heartless? To forget feelings, to be neither happy, sad or angry? If you lack emotions, are you still human?"

Chu Xuan looked at Su Xian'er and asked, "Let me ask you, will those who cultivate the Heartless Sword Technique be angry when they are surrounded and killed by others? Will they be moved by treasures when they see them? Will they draw their swords out in anger when they are humiliated?"

Su Xian'er was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes."

"They feel happiness, anger, and are moved by treasures. How can they be called heartless then? What's heartless is just their feelings. They are a bunch of cowards who don't dare to face the suffering in their hearts who created the Heartless Sword Techniqueto deceive themselves and others!"

Chu Xuan said with extreme disdain.

Su Xian'er was stunned. His words seemed to make sense.

"Disciple, don't learn from those cowards and disgrace me," Chu Xuan said earnestly.

"Yes, Master, I understand."

Ding Yue nodded and paused for a moment, and then said, "Master, actually, the three stages of the way of the sword contain the truth of the Great Dao, especially the stage where there is no woman in your heart. Does it actually mean that one's heart is still like water, and that nothing can cause your heart, or the sword that it contains, to be swayed?"

"Has this disciple comprehended it correctly?"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched.

"You really are talented. You have comprehended it correctly."

"I am pleased that I have such a perceptive disciple."

Chu Xuan nodded and exhorted, "You must remember that having a woman will affect the speed at which you draw your sword!"

"Yes, Master!" Ding Yue's face was solemn.

"Master will teach you the way of the sword now."

Chu Xuan raised his finger and pointed. The first part of the Heaven-reaching Sword Technique was transmitted into Ding Yue's mind.

Ding Yue still had to break through the three stages of the way of the sword, so he divided the Heaven-reaching Sword Technique into three parts to be taught.

Moreover, by the time Ding Yue finished cultivating the first part, Chu Xuan would probably be in the Heaven realm.

Ding Yue was immersed in the comprehension of the way of the sword. The Heaven's Will Sword Pulse was activated and the aura around his body pulsated fiercely.

It was like a sharp sword unsheathed.

Ten minutes later, Ding Yue opened his eyes.

He kowtowed three times respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master, for imparting this technique!"

"Go and cultivate," Chu Xuan waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Master!"

Ding Yue stood up, his expression was firm and his gaze sharp.

Returning to the universe space, he sat cross-legged in front of the divine sword.

The aura on his body became more and more ethereal and resonated with the divine sword. The divine sword trembled slightly and let out a slight hum.

Ding Yue's aura then became more restrained, like an ordinary sword that was stabbed into the ground.

"Forget my sweetheart! Forget my sweetheart!"

Ding Yue kept telling himself that he had to forget his sweetheart and break through the first stage of the way of the sword.

The way of the sword that his master had imparted to him was incomparably powerful; far beyond what Nine Swords Mountain was capable of.

He would not let down his master's high hopes!

Ding Yue kept recalling the past, when he and his childhood sweetheart had been together. From their time as happy children, to finally being despised, neglected, alienated, ridiculed and humiliated by the latter.

"You're just a piece of trash. You're not worthy of me!"

"Ding Yue, although we grew up together, I was young and ignorant back then. Now that I've grown up, I'm not blind. It's impossible for us to be together. Cease your wishful thinking!"

"You were just passing by? Who are you trying to kid? You're here to harass me, right? Or perhaps to disgust me?"

"Ding Yue, for the sake of our past friendship, can you please get lost?"

He had also let go and stopped looking for that person back then. However, he would always stumble across that person occasionally. Every time he did, he would be humiliated and spurned.

Ding Yue kept recalling his past experiences and hypnotizing himself. That person was not worth his time or affection.

Master was right. The person he loved would only bring him harm!

"Forget the person I love. I, Ding Yue, can do it. Since she is already heartless, why should I keep thinking about her?"

Ding Yue sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He strengthened his resolve over and over again to forget that person.

The best way to hate someone was to constantly recall the bad side of her and the harm that she had caused him.

Ding Yue did exactly that. He believed that as long as he stopped thinking about her and loathed her, he could forget her.

She would never become his sweetheart.

As he recalled the bits and pieces of his childhood sweetheart, Ding Yue sadly realized that he had always been the one who had given, and had never received anything in return.

She wanted all of the medicinal pills and the spirit crystals… thinking back carefully, she had never given him anything, not even a single worthless item.

"Master is right. I shouldn't have a sweetheart!"

Su Xian'er looked at him curiously. She felt that something was wrong with Ding Yue.

Chu Xuan did not care how Ding Yue forgot his sweetheart. His goal had been achieved. His disciple would not become a simp.

He activated the Myriad Heavenly mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe.

"Greetings, Master!" Ren Changhe bowed respectfully.

"There's no need to be so polite!"

Chu Xuan's voice was vast and mighty, as if it came from the Great Dao itself.

Ren Changhe raised his head, and his soul was instantly shaken. He became even more respectful toward his master in his heart.

In his eyes, although his master did not reveal his imposing figure, bathed in divine light, there was an aura of the Great Dao that lingered around him.

The robe on his body seemed to be woven from the Great Dao itself.

"Hiss, just how strong is Master?!"

Ren Changhe was shocked.

How powerful was he to be able to weave the Great Dao into a robe?

"Are there still any parts that you are confused about?" Chu Xuan asked.

"Yes!"

Ren Changhe looked ashamed.

Until now, he still had not fully comprehended the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal.

"Tell me."

Chu Xuan was speechless. More than once, he had wondered if Ren Changhe really was a top-notch Heaven's blessed.

However, he was very famous. The name of the Celestial Master had shaken the nine zones and fifty regions. There was no way that he was an ordinary cultivator.

Why had he been unable to fully comprehend the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal this entire time?

Was the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal so mysterious to the point that even Heaven realm cultivators found it difficult to comprehend it?

Ren Changhe asked his question. After Chu Xuan explained it to him, he asked, "Does this realm have a thousand-year Heaven realm cultivator?"

"Yes."

Ren Changhe did not know why Chu Xuan asked this question. Was it to motivate him?

Or did he want to find someone who was more talented than him to represent his martial inheritance in this world?

Chapter 78: There Was A Mysterious Senior

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. As expected, the cultivation benchmark of top-notch geniuses of the 100-year Emperor realm, the 1,000-year Supreme realm, and the 10,000-year Heaven realm were based on normal circumstances.

There were always special circumstances where unique individuals surpassed the cultivation speed of these top-notch geniuses.

Ren Changhe continued, "Some old monsters, for various reasons or under special circumstances, reincarnated using secret techniques. Due to the accumulation and comprehension of their previous lives, it was not impossible for them to recover their Heaven realm cultivation in 1,000 years."

Chu Xuan thought about Qin Keyun. She had cultivated to the half-emperor realm within such a short period of time by relying on the accumulation and comprehension of her previous life.

It could be said that, before the Emperor realm, as long as there were enough resources, the path of cultivation was a smooth one.

Moreover, for most, breaking through to the Emperor realm would not be too much of a problem.

In addition to the experts who reincarnated using secret techniques, there were also those who obtained the inheritance of great experts.

After receiving the inheritance of these great experts, the power and comprehension those experts had would be sealed in their bodies. They would then experience a smooth and rapid cultivation journey, and would be able to break through realms within an extremely short time.

All they needed to do was to continuously stimulate the power of the inheritance they had received.

However, the cultivators who cultivated using this method mostly had weak foundations due to their reliance on the inheritances.

Moreover, when they fully received and activated the inheritance, they would need to spend a very long time polishing their foundations. Otherwise, they would not be able to advance further.

Ren Changhe disdained this kind of cultivator.

He had killed several of these so-called Heaven's blessed with one hand back then!

Chu Xuan understood what he meant. Ren Changhe was just afraid that he would compare him to this kind of trashy Heaven's blessed.

Ren Changhe's meaning was that although this kind of cultivator would progress at lightning speed, their actual combat strength was nothing worth shouting about.

After all, he had crushed several of them with one hand.

There were also those who obtained great opportunities and entered some special secret realms.

Time passed differently inside these secret realms; a thousand years inside was equivalent to only a year in the outside world.

However, if one counted the time spent cultivating inside these secret realms, the time they took to cultivate was actually not a short amount of time.

"I heard that such a secret realm exists in the Desolate Ancient Zone. Unfortunately, this disciple's luck was lacking and was not fated to encounter it." Ren Changhe sighed regretfully.

"It's just a secret realm. It's nothing worth shouting about."

Chu Xuan's tone was very arrogant as he responded nonchalantly.

As expected of Master!

Ren Changhe inwardly exclaimed in admiration.

He had found out what he wanted to know, and had given Ren Changhe the necessary pointers. It was time for Chu Xuan to leave.

As usual, he encouraged Ren Changhe to cultivate properly.

Finally, he said, "Since you are my in-name disciple, you should at least know my title."

Ren Changhe immediately knelt on the ground, his face full of excitement.

His master was finally willing to tell him his honorific title.

This meant that he had formally acknowledged him as a disciple.

"Listen carefully."

Chu Xuan's voice was dignified as he said, "The powerhouses of the heavens all call me 'Eternal, handsome, unparalleled, majestic, virtuous supreme, and holy number one Dao master of the myriad realms.'"

Ren Changhe was stunned when he heard that.

He felt that it was awesome!

His master was so awesome!

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Ren Changhe's reaction.

After a few more words of encouragement, he deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

Next, Chu Xuan connected to Du Yuan.

Du Yuan had already returned to the small family that he was the guardian of. He was behaving in a low-key manner as usual.

"Your Excellency!"

"Since you can be considered a disciple of sorts, I will give you a cultivation technique and a divine weapon."

Chu Xuan passed the Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique to Du Yuan as well as the fire spirit awl.

Du Yuan was pleasantly surprised. His choice back then had indeed been correct.

The cultivation technique given by Senior was more than a hundred times stronger than the cultivation technique he had obtained from his fortuitous encounter.

With this cultivation technique, Du Yuan was confident that he would be able to reach the Divine realm.

The fire spirit awl was actually a divine weapon!

There might not even be a second person in possession of a divine weapon in the entire Western Region.

Chu Xuan threw him a few bottles of supreme realm cultivation pills as well, which would be enough to allow Du Yuan's strength to soar within a short period of time.

Given Du Yuan's current second-level Supreme realm cultivation, he was still rather weak.

Fortunately, there was still some time until Asura Ancient Land would open, so Du Yuan still had sufficient time to raise his strength.

It was impossible for him to reach the Heaven realm, but with the help of medicinal pills and the powerful Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique, he could still cultivate to the eighth or ninth level of the Supreme realm.

Du Yuan's innate talent was not bad after all.

The last daily use of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror connected randomly to an ocean, so Chu Xuan did not encounter any living beings.

Over the next few days, Ding Yue immersed himself in the cultivation of the first stage of the way of the sword.

Su Xian'er was also cultivating hard.

It was then that Chu Yun came back.

"Thirteenth brother, I've brought you a treasure."

The first thing Chu Yun did when she came back was to run over to Chu Xuan's small courtyard.

The small courtyard had not changed much. The universe space was concealed by Chu Xuan, so Chu Yun could not sense it.

She took out an umbrella-shaped spirit herb with seven leaves and handed it to Chu Xuan.

"Thirteenth brother, this is a spirit herb that can increase one's natural talent. Eat it quickly."

Chu Xuan stretched out his hand and patted her head. This girl was quite thoughtful. Despite how precious this spirit herb was, the first thing she thought to do with it was give it to him.

It was worth doting on her.

"Black heart grass, ah, this is indeed a good thing. But your thirteenth brother doesn't need this thing. You should eat it."

Chu Yun's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Thirteenth brother, you know about black heart grass?"

Chu Xuan gave her an enigmatic smile and said, "Of course I know about it. You should eat it quickly. This thing is not useful to thirteenth brother."

"How can it not be useful?"

Chu Yun was a little anxious.

"Thirteenth brother, don't worry. Even if you break through, I'll tell grandpa to allow you to continue to live in the small courtyard. No one will disturb you."

Chu Xuan chuckled. "I don't want anyone to disturb me. No one can disturb me either."

"No, thirteenth brother, you have to eat the black heart grass."

Chu Yun's expression was stiff. She decided to force the black heart grass into Chu Xuan's mouth.

If Chu Xuan was unable to break through to the profound realm and unable to improve his cultivation, his lifespan would be very short.

She did not want to watch him pass away while she continued on her cultivation journey.

Chu Yun used her spiritual power and, once she thought that she had Chu Xuan under control, she stuffed the black heart grass into his mouth.

In the end, for some unknown reason, the black heart grass in her hand ended up inside her own mouth.

It instantly melted away and dissolved into her stomach.

Chu Yun was dumbfounded.

Looking at Chu Xuan's expression, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Thirteenth brother, you?"

"Your thirteenth brother's Dao is in this courtyard. I have no need for any treasures," Chu Xuan chuckled.

"I understand!"

Chu Yun suddenly jumped up excitedly and hugged Chu Xuan's neck from behind.

"I knew it! Thirteenth brother wasn't trash!"

"Shh, don't tell anyone."

"Yes, yes, this is a secret!"

Chu Yun nodded her head and her mouth curled into a smile.

After learning that Chu Xuan was even stronger than she was, Chu Yun became very excited. She sat at the side and talked about her experiences.

"Thirteenth brother, let me tell you a secret. A very powerful senior has taken a fancy to my talent and is testing me."

"Once I pass the test, the senior will take me as his disciple. At that time, we will have a strong backer."

"That senior might be someone from outside the Southern Region. He might even be an Emperor realm expert!"

"Emperor realm… I don't know if I can ever become an Emperor realm expert."

Chu Xuan quietly listened to her. He was inwardly laughing. The senior she was talking about was right in front of her eyes right now.

Report chapter

Chapter 79: Revealing The Chu Family's Foundation

Chu Yun stayed in the small courtyard for two days. As usual, she went through the cultivation insights Chu Xuan had prepared and discovered new pill refinement methods and pill formulas.

She was somewhat confused. What exactly was the connection between these pill refinement methods and that mysterious senior.

That mysterious senior seemed to favor her and test her precisely because of the pill refinement techniques she cultivated.

Chu Xuan pushed all of this onto his father, Chu Qiuluo, and lied that it was possible that his father had some kind of relationship with that mysterious senior.

Chu Yun felt that it made sense.

After memorizing the new alchemy skills and pill formulas, Chu Yun returned to the ancestral residence.

Before returning, she sighed and said, "If third brother returns to the family's territory, his fate will be very miserable!"

Chu Xuan agreed.

After such a long time, Chu Tianming's roars could still be heard every now and then.

It could be seen how angry he was at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yun had returned to the ancestral residence to obtain a new status in the Chu family.

Since thirteenth brother liked peace, she needed to increase her authority and influence in the Chu family so that thirteenth brother could live comfortably.

Chu Yun did not mention anything about Chu Xuan's strength.

One day later, from the small courtyard, Chu Xuan heard Chu Tianming's laughter coming from the ancestral residence.

"Hahaha, how can my Chu family lag behind the other families?!"

Chu Tianming had broken through to the unity realm by consuming the void unity pills that Chu Yun had refined.

The other three peak-stage void realm elders had also broken through.

Chu Yun's status in the Chu family skyrocketed, surpassing the future successor of the family head, Chu Qing.

She became a precious treasure in the hearts of all the elders of the Chu family.

Chu Qing felt very helpless. His status in the family had already dropped to second place.

However, he was not unhappy about it at all. After all, Chu Yun had also given him many medicinal pills.

He would be able to quickly break through and increase his strength.

These pills could even be sold!

Chu Xuan looked at the space underneath the Chu family's ancestral residence. It was time for the Chu family's foundation to be revealed.

The Chu family's strength could be allowed to fall behind others.

If they were left further and further behind by the other three families, the mentality of the Chu family would probably collapse.

The big reveal of the Chu family's foundation would naturally be done by Chu Yun.

The emperor-level weapon inside would also automatically recognize Chu Yun as its owner.

With Chu Xuan's strength, it would naturally be easy for him to allow Chu Yun to activate the Chu family's foundation.

Moreover, Chu Yun would not even realize that someone had helped her open it.

Chu Tianming and the other elders of the Chu family were gathering all kinds of spirit herbs and giving them to Chu Yun to refine pills.

They decided to put in a lot of effort to nurture Chu Yun.

On this night, with a loud bang, the ground underneath a certain house in the ancestral residence collapsed.

A small space suddenly appeared.

All the experts of the Chu family were shocked. Chu Tianming headed toward the small space after ordering the elders of the Chu family to seal off the Chu family's territory.

No one was allowed to enter or leave.

"Yun'er, where are you?"

Chu Tianming was extremely anxious. Chu Yun had been refining pills inside that house just now.

He brought a few elders and rushed into the rubble. A black hole appeared.

A faint light appeared. As soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong.

This seemed to be an ancient site?

Looking over, the first thing he saw was a stone tablet.

There were lines of words engraved on the stone tablet.

Chu Tianming first looked for Chu Yun.

Suddenly, a ray of light attracted everyone's attention.

In the center of the ancient site, there was a small blade that was floating in mid-air while emitting spiritual light.

A vast pressure swept over the people there.

Chu Tianming and the others' faces changed drastically, after which they became ecstatic.

Emperor-level weapon!

It was actually an emperor-level weapon.

However, this emperor-level weapon was currently floating above Chu Yun's head.

Chu Tianming and the others immediately became nervous.

The emperor-level weapon slowly descended and actually fell into Chu Yun's hands. In the end, it even merged into Chu Yun's body.

The emperor-level weapon acknowledged her as its master!

Furthermore, it voluntarily did so!

This emperor-level weapon chose Chu Yun as its master!

Chu Tianming and the others were all stunned.

"Look, what are those?"

One of the elders pointed at the balls of power floating in the air.

There was also a scroll placed on an altar.

Seeing that Chu Yun was fine, Chu Tianming turned his attention to the stone tablet.

Looking at it, he was so excited that he started to tremble.

"This, this is the inheritance left behind by our ancestors!"

Everyone in the Chu family was ecstatic.

They looked at Chu Yun as if they were looking at a treasure.

The emperor-level weapon left behind by the Chu family's ancestors had taken the initiative to recognize Chu Yun as its master. Naturally, they knew what this meant.

The rise of the Chu family depended entirely on Chu Yun!

Chu Yun still had a blank expression on her face. She did not know how or why she suddenly appeared here.

Moreover, a small blade had even recognized her as its master.

It had been incorporated into her dantian and was being nurtured.

"Grandfather, what is this place?"

"Yun'er, this is the foundation left behind by ourChu family ancestors. How did you come here?" Chu Tianming asked excitedly.

"I seemed to have heard a voice. It felt like someone was calling me, so I answered and came here," Chu Yun said blankly.

"Good, good. There is hope for the rise of our Chu family."

Chu Tianming was overjoyed.

As expected, Chu Yun was the inheritor of the Chu family and the descendant chosen by the ancestors of the Chu family.

"This is the inheritance of the truth realm!"

An elder from the Chu family who had returned from the Great Qian Dynasty said excitedly as he looked at the inheritance.

"The Chu family is going to rise!"

Everyone knew why the Zhao and He families had cultivated truth realm experts so quickly.

It was because their families' foundations had been activated.

"Third uncle, break through to the truth realm as soon as possible!"

Chu Tianming looked at the clan elder.

This clan elder was currently the strongest person in the Chu family.

The situation in the Southern Region had turned unstable, and the Qin Kingdom had become the Great Qin Dynasty. The relationship between the Chu family and the other three families was also different from before.

A truth realm expert had to appear as soon as possible and take charge of the Chu family.

Only a truth realm expert had the strength to lead the family through these troubled times.

"Good. With this inheritance, we will definitely be able to break through within half a month."

At the same time, the elders of the Chu family tacitly chose not to mention the emperor-level weapon.

The emperor-level weapon was in Chu Yun's possession. This would be a top secret of the Chu family.

Once it was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ignoring Chu Yun's limited strength, even the entire Chu family would not be able to protect it if it were discovered.

It was an emperor-level weapon!

How many powers in the entire Southern Region had an emperor-level weapon?

They knew that the Qin family had an emperor-level weapon. Qin Keyun, the great empress, was extremely powerful. Who would dare to have designs on her or her weapon?

If things were the same on the Zhao and He families' side, they would also have an emperor-level weapon.

However, they did not know if those weapons were in the hands of the two families or whether they had been given to the Qin family.

The matter of the Chu family possessing an emperor-level weapon could not be leaked out.

Luckily, the ones who entered this space were the family elders, so they could keep this matter a secret.

In addition, the emperor-level weapon had taken the initiative to recognize its owner and had entered Chu Yun's dantian. As long as Chu Yun did not take the initiative to reveal it, no one would be able to discover it.

Chu Tianming instructed Chu Yun not to ever reveal the emperor-level weapon.

"Grandfather, I know. Furthermore, with my strength, I can't use it anyway."

Chu Yun nodded solemnly.

She understood the importance of the emperor-level weapon and had already made up her mind to hand it over to Chu Xuan.

"I can't let grandfather and the others know that I'll be giving the emperor-level weapon to thirteenth brother."

Chu Yun thought silently.

The Chu family's foundation had been opened and the entire clan land had been sealed. The three unity realm experts of the Chu family had started to inherit the power of the true realm.

At the moment, only three of them had enough cultivation to inherit the power of the true realm.

Chu Tianming and the other elders of the Chu family who had just broken through weren't strong enough to withstand it. It was easy for their power to become chaotic and their foundation to be damaged.

Report chapter

Chapter 80: Coercion

Once one's foundation was damaged, even if one broke through to the truth realm, there would be no way forward.

The Chu family's complete inherited cultivation technique had finally appeared. It was a powerful cultivation technique that would allow one to cultivate to the Emperor realm or even the Supreme realm.

Which cultivator did not have the ambition or dream of reaching the Emperor realm?

It was not easy to break through to the Emperor realm though; talent and aptitude were very important. However, if one did not work hard, who knew what one could or could not achieve?

Moreover, with Chu Yun's aid with refining pills, there was still hope for them even if their innate talent was insufficient.

As the Chu family's foundation had finally been discovered, the Chu family members regained hope.

They now believed that they could catch up to the other three families.

As a result, the Chu family members all fell into a frenzied period of cultivation.

Even the voices that scolded Chu Yuan became softer.

Chu Tianming could no longer be heard roaring in the ancestral residence because of Chu Yuan's matter.

Two days after Chu Yun left the Chu family's ancient site, she came over to Chu Xuan's small courtyard.

"Thirteenth brother, I inherited the Chu family's emperor-level weapon," she said in a mysterious and low voice.

"Your luck is indeed good. You're the person who carries the hope of the Chu family on your shoulders now." Chu Xuan laughed.

"Thirteenth brother, I want to give you this emperor-level weapon. I don't have any use for it and I feel that it's very dangerous for me to hold onto it."

Chu Yun's face was solemn as she spoke. If others found out about the emperor-level weapon, her life would be in danger.

Chu Xuan laughed as he looked at her.

The reason why Chu Yun spoke so seriously was because she was worried that he would not accept the emperor-level weapon.

"Thirteenth brother, you must help me. I'll leave the emperor-level weapon with you. You can't tell anyone," Chu Yun said.

"Alright." Chu Xuan nodded.

Chu Yun was elated. As expected, thirteenth brother was afraid that she would be in danger and chose to accept the emperor-level weapon.

She immediately tried to take out the emperor-level weapon.

However, the emperor-level weapon in her dantian refused to budge.

She tried several methods but, in the end, she was unable to take it out. Her expression instantly took a turn for the worse.

"Thirteenth brother, I can't take out the emperor-level weapon."

"This means that the emperor-level weapon has completely recognized you as its master. During critical moments, it will still protect you, so just keep it."

Chu Xuan patted her little head and smiled.

The emperor-level weapon was also imbued with Chu Xuan's power. Not only could it help Chu Yun in her cultivation, it would also save her life during critical moments.

Given Chu Xuan's first-level Supreme realm cultivation, no one Emperor realm cultivator could harm Chu Yun.

In addition, Chu Xuan had left a soul-chasing seal on the emperor-level weapon. With this, he would be able to use the Soul-chasing Bow to kill any enemies close to Chu Yun.

"Alright."

Since Chu Yun failed to take out the emperor-level weapon, she returned to the ancestral residence with a disappointed expression.

After returning to the ancestral residence, she tried her best to rack her brain for a solution. However, despite her best efforts, she was still unable to take out the emperor-level weapon. As such, she had no choice but to give up.

Just as the Chu family was about to focus on their cultivation and growth, a piece of news suddenly arrived which caused the family elders to be shaken.

The sect master of Nine Swords Mountain, Song Yiming, had brought his son, Song Pang, to the Chu family to propose marriage. His son, Song Pang, wanted to marry Chu Yun.

Not only that, he had come in threatening fashion. He did not use friendly methods to propose this marriage; he was directly threatening the Chu family into agreeing to the marriage.

Had this occurred before the Chu family's foundation was unearthed, the family elders might have considered whether or not to curry favor with Nine Swords Mountain.

However, after the Chu family's foundation was unearthed, the emperor-level weapon had recognized Chu Yun as its master. How could they allow Chu Yun to marry the son of the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain?

Furthermore, the other party came menacingly and directly threatened them. The Chu family was unable to accept the other party's behavior.

Chu Yun was the hope for the rise of the Chu family!

Given the current situation, even if Chu Yun had someone in her heart, the family elders would not agree to her marrying out.

Her future partner could only marry into the Chu family!

"What should we do?"

The elders looked at Chu Tianming with serious expressions.

"We can only ask the Qin family for help!"

Chu Tianming said with a gloomy face.

The elders were worried. Would the Qin family come to their aid?

One had to know that the current relationship between the Great Qin Dynasty and Nine Swords Mountain was not normal. Would they offend the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain for the sake of the Chu family?

However, at this point, there was no other way out but to ask the Qin family for help.

Chu Yun was concocting pills inside the Chu family's ancient site, so she was unaware of what was going on outside.

Chu Xuan had already learned from the intelligence reports of the Black Moon Tower that Song Yiming had brought his son to the Chu family's territory.

The other party had neither been hurried nor slow. By traveling openly like that, they had exerted pressure on the Chu family. The accompanying Nine Swords Mountain disciples were currently taking control of one city after another in Chu County.

Although they did not make any moves to hurt anyone, their intention was self-evident.

"They're finally here."

With a single thought, Chu Xuan covered the entirety of the Chu family's territory within his domain.

He wanted to place a few more chess pieces in the Southern Region. He was very interested in the Asura Ancient Land.

The opening of the Asura Ancient Land was related to the situation in the entire Northern Zone. Many powerful factions would participate in this matter.

There might even be other factions from other zones interfering.

It would be more exciting to stir up trouble on a field where many powerful factions were present.

Moreover, his actions could trigger the system's rewards.

Nine Sword Mountain's sect master was one of the chess pieces that Chu Xuan wanted to obtain due to the matter regarding the Great Qin's Emperor.

Inside the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial palace, Qin Keyun looked at the Chu family's request for help and did not give an answer.

Qin Pingshan opened his mouth a few times, but soon closed it again each time. He could not guess what Qin Keyun was thinking.

Whether or not the Qin family helped the Chu family was all down to Qin Keyun's decision. No one could control her.

"I have my own thoughts regarding this matter."

Qin Keyun waved her hand, indicating for Qin Pingshan to leave.

Qin Pingshan sighed. The emperor-level aura around Qin Keyun's body was getting stronger and stronger. She was probably going to break through to the Emperor realm soon.

After Qin Pingshan left, Qin Keyun spoke to someone hiding behind a screen in the room, "Inform Nine Swords Mountain. If Song Yiming dies, just replace the sect master and pretend that nothing happened."

The person behind the screen was stunned.

If Song Yiming died, should he not take revenge?

How could he pretend that nothing happened?

Moreover, did the Chu family even have the ability to kill Song Yiming?

After a long while, he replied, "Yes."

Chu County…

Song Pang said impatiently, "Father, let's go straight to the Chu family's ancestral residence. What if someone eats the black heart grass while we're dawdling here?"

Song Yiming replied, "Pang'er, are you sure that girl is an alchemist?"

"I'm sure, I'm absolutely sure. Furthermore, her talent in alchemy should be quite good!" Song Pang hurriedly nodded and said.

Although his talent was lacking, he was not a brainless descendant. In order to stabilize his position in Nine Swords Mountain, he had thought of many methods and made every effort to improve.

He wanted to obtain the position of sect master, rather than the safe position of an elder. To achieve that, he had been working hard.

Song Pang knew that he was somewhat crippled in terms of cultivation. If he wanted to secure his position, his first choice would be to marry an excellent Dao partner.

What did Nine Swords Mountain lack the most?

Alchemists!

Due to this, he had traveled to Heavenly Cauldron Mountain more than once, hoping to hook up with a female disciple.

However, his hopes were dashed eac time. The female disciples of Heavenly Cauldron Mountain all looked at him as if he were a cripple. No matter how much he tried to sweet-talk them, he could not coax them into becoming his Dao partner.

It was precisely because he spent too much time with the disciples of Heavenly Cauldron Mountain that, when he chanced upon Chu Yun, he sensed a familiar faint pill fragrance lingering around her body.

He also found out that Chu Yun had once purchased spirit herbs, which further confirmed his guess that she was an alchemist.

Therefore, the first thing he wanted to do was to marry Chu Yun!

Since he could not marry a disciple of Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, he would take the easier route of marrying a daughter of the Chu family.

With the black heart grass and the beauty in his hands, his father's position as the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain would only become more and more stable in the future.

Later on, he would be able to vie for the position of sect master.

In the end, his father actually took his time traveling to the Chu family's ancestral residence, which worried him to no end. Even if he married Chu Yun in the end, without the black heart grass, he would not be able to fix his limited talent and aptitude, and thus would not be able to vie for the position of sect master.

Chapter 81: Save Me, My Father Has Gone Mad

Song Yiming was not in a hurry, as he headed to the Chu family's territory at a leisurely pace.

Every time he arrived at one of Chu County's cities, he would let one of the accompanying disciples take control of the city.

He brought along as many Nine Swords Mountain disciples as there were cities in Chu County.

Compared to Song Pang, who was drowning in anxiety, Song Yiming knew that rushing over was a waste of effort. Given that so many days had passed, the black heart grass had most likely already been used.

He was not really thinking about Song Pang, his son. If Chu Yun really had outstanding talent in pill refinement, what he needed to think about now was how to nurture his grandson.

At the same time, Song Yiming was waiting for the Qin family's reaction.

If the Qin family did not express their stance before they arrived at the Chu family's territory, then this trip would go smoothly.

If the Qin family made an appearance, they would face some setbacks.

The Qin family had a close relationship with Nine Swords Mountain's Great Elder Hong Fei, and the Great Qin Dynasty seemed to have some sort of hidden connection with Nine Swords Mountain.

Even he, as the sect master, did not know much about it.

That was a matter directly controlled by a few old fogeys of Nine Swords Mountain. He did not have the qualifications to interfere.

Although he was the sect master, he was not the strongest expert of Nine Swords Mountain.

In this world, strength spoke for itself.

The Chu family had arrived, and no one from the Qin family had appeared.

Song Yiming heaved a sigh of relief. This trip would go smoothly!

Chu Tianming and the other elders stood in front of the family's territory and stared at Song Yiming and his son with unsightly expressions!

The Qin family had not responded to their request for aid.

It was obvious that they did not plan to help.

Thinking back to the relationship between the Great Qin Dynasty and Nine Swords Mountain, Chu Tianming and the others felt dejected.

The sect master of Nine Swords Mountain was an expert at the ninth level of the truth realm.

How could the Chu family resist him?

Thus far, the Chu family had yet to cultivate any truth realm experts.

The Chu family's foundation had just been unearthed. Even the family elders who had received the power of the truth realm inheritance had yet to break through to the truth realm.

Could they commission the Black Moon Tower to act?

The price they would have to pay to deal with the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain was something that the entirety of the Chu family could not afford.

Could they give the Chu family's foundation as payment to the Black Moon Tower?

It was obviously impossible.

Chu Yun also received the news and rushed over. She thought of asking that mysterious senior for help.

Song Yiming ignored the people of the Chu family entirely.

There was not even a single one among them who had cultivated to the truth realm.

On what basis could they resist him?

Moreover, he was the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain. It was a great fortune for the Chu family to become in-laws with him.

Looking at things from that perspective, he did not understand why the Chu family was unwilling.

However, once he gave this matter a second thought, his heart burned with passion. If the Chu family could not bear to let Chu Yun marry out, and even spurned the opportunity to befriend him, the sect master of the Nine Swords Mountain, then there could only be one reason. Chu Yun's talent in pill refinement was beyond imagination.

Her existence was related to the rise of the Chu family.

"Father, it's her!"

Song Pang saw Chu Yun rushing over. He pointed excitedly at Chu Yun, his eyes burning with passion.

"Little beauty, you won't be able to escape from me."

Song Pang was extremely excited.

"Shut up!"

Pa!

Song Yiming suddenly shouted angrily and slapped Song Pang's face.

Song Pang was completely stunned.

He covered his swollen face and looked at his father in a daze. He did not understand why his father would suddenly hit him.

The members of the Chu family were also stunned.

At this moment, Song Yiming's heart was filled with terror.

His entire body was trembling. He was so weak that he could not help but kneel on the ground.

When others saw him like this, they thought that he was trembling with anger.

"Father, why did you hit me?" Song Pang looked wronged.

Pa!

Another slap landed on Song Pang's face. Song Yiming said angrily, "Hit you?"

"You are coveting Miss Chu?" Song Yiming roared and slapped Song Pang again.

"Why don't you piss off and look at yourself first? Are you worthy of Miss Chu?"

Chu Tianming and the others were dumbfounded. What was going on with the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain? Why was he beating his own son?

Look, his son's face was swollen. If he continued to hit him, the latter's face would look like a pig's head.

Chu Yun was overjoyed when she saw this. It must be that mysterious senior who had warned the Nine Swords Mountain sect master.

Even the Nine Swords Mountain sect master was forced to admit defeat. That mysterious senior was too powerful.

He had to be at the Emperor realm.

Song Pang's head was buzzing from the beating he was receiving. He was dumbfounded as he looked at his father.

What was going on?

Why was he being beaten?

He had never been beaten like this since he was young.

"Dad, I'm your son," Song Pang cried.

Slap!

Song Yiming slapped him again. To those watching, it seemed like Song Yiming felt that he had not given his son a proper beating, as he kept hitting him.

He cursed, "Why did I give birth to a b*stard like you?"

"Why are you so obsessed with marrying Miss Chu?"

"You're a piece of Sh*t. Miss Chu is such a precious flower. Do you deserve to be with her?"

"Why did I give birth to a useless thing like you? Don't you have any sense of shame? Since you're a piece of sh*t, just behave like a good piece of sh*t. Why did you come out to stink up the place?"

"Your presence taints Miss Chu's eyes. You're a piece of sh*t, yet you actually dared to covet Miss Chu. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Where's your conscience? Why did you turn out like this? Huh?!"

Song Yiming shouted as he beat Song Pang up.

Everyone in the Chu family was petrified!

Nine Swords Mountain sect master, did you lose your mind?

Why were you talking about your son like this?

If your son was a piece of sh*t, were you not also a piece of sh*t? Moreover, you were an old piece of sh*t!

Chu Yun's mouth was wide open and her face was filled with shock. Was the mysterious senior so powerful?

Even the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain seemed terrified to the point of abandoning his dignity!

The one who felt the most pain was Song Pang.

He was completely dumbfounded.

His head was buzzing, and tears and snot were continuously flowing out. His head was swollen, and his face was beyond recognition.

What pained his heart even more was that the one who had done this to him and humiliated him was his own father!

I'm definitely not his biological son!

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"You're a piece of sh*t, yet you actually wanted to defile a pure flower. Do you have any shame?"

"Why are you so thick-skinned?"

"Why don't you piss off? With your pathetic appearance, do you think you're worthy of her?"

Song Yiming's entire body was trembling as he continued to beat up Song Pang crazily. His attacks were getting more and more vicious and heavier.

Song Pang's head had swelled to twice its original size. His face was so round that one could no longer even see his facial features.

"Help! Help! My father has gone crazy!"

Song Pang's muffled cries could be heard as he struggled to call for help.

He was panicking. His father might have really gone crazy.

If his father did not stop now, he felt that he might even die!

No one noticed that cold sweat was breaking out on Song Yiming's forehead.

A terrifying pressure covered his body and showed no signs of abating.

Song Yiming did not dare to stop. He could only grit his teeth and hit his son harder and harder.

The Chu family was terrifying!

Soon after he stepped into the Chu family's territory, a mysterious and terrifying pressure descended on him.

The meaning it implied was obvious. It was a warning

What shocked Song Yiming was that this pressure was a hundred, no, a thousand times stronger than those old fogeys from Nine Swords Mountain!

He panicked!

His only way out of this was to take action personally and teach his son a lesson.

He was saving himself and his son as well.

He thought of many things. It was no wonder the Great Qin Dynasty chose not to co-opt the Chu family's territory and make them their vassals.

It was all because there was a terrifying existence hidden in the Chu family!

Perhaps the Chu family was a trap set up by some mysterious powerful existence!

Report chapter

Chapter 82: Loss of Morality Or Distortion Of A Father's Love

It was too tragic!

Not only was Song Pang physically battered, but his soul was also in turmoil from his father's beating.

Every time Song Yiming opened his mouth, Song Pang would be called a piece of sh*t, or asked to piss off or take a good look at himself.

Chu Xuan was speechless.

Was there something wrong with the head of the Nine Swords Mountain sect master?

I was just pressuring you and giving you a warning not to act impudently.

Why did you beat up your own son crazily?

He even humiliated him verbally.

Chu Xuan suspected that his son might not be his own.

Everyone in the Chu family was dumbfounded.

Chu Tianming and the others were originally extremely angry and disgusted with Song Pang's desire to marry Chu Yun.

However, his current image and condition evoked feelings of pity from them.

What a pitiful fellow!

He was tortured to such an extent by his own father.

Everyone seriously suspected that Song Pang was not his biological son. In fact, he might even have been picked up from a random rubbish heap somewhere.

At this moment, his "son" was being used as a punching bag to vent the anger in his heart.

Chu Yun could not bear to look at Song Pang's miserable appearance, especially when she heard Song Pang's muffled cries for help.

Song Pang raised a hand with great difficulty.

"Help, help me!"

Crack!

The hand was broken.

When the Chu family members heard the crack, their hands trembled.

The sect master of Nine Swords Mountain had gone crazy.

Should they stop him?

What if he went crazy and attacked them?

No one here could beat him.

However, if he killed his son and woke up from his madness, would he blame them?

Chu Tianming cursed in his heart. What was going on with Nine Swords Mountain? Why did they choose a crazy guy to become their sect master?

Could it be that something had gone wrong with his cultivation recently?

It was very possible!

"If you keep hitting him, he'll die," Chu Yun spoke up carefully.

Song Yiming instantly shot her a grateful gaze, and the pressure around him finally dissipated.

He kicked Song Pang. "Aren't you going to thank Miss Chu?!"

"Thank… Thank you!"

Tears streamed down Song Pang's face. His facial features could no longer be seen clearly, and his whole body had swelled up into a round ball!

His heart had suffered an immense amount of trauma!

This day would be a nightmare that forever haunted him!

Song Yiming said sincerely, "Miss Chu, don't worry. This piece of sh*t will never appear in front of you again!"

"I will bring this b*stard back and discipline him properly."

Although Song Pang looked very miserable, fortunately, his life was not in any danger. He could recover after spending some time recuperating.

"Actually, you don't have to be so ruthless."

Chu Yun looked a little apologetic.

The deterrence of that mysterious senior was too terrifying.

He had frightened the Nine Swords Mountain sect master to the point of insanity.

"Thank… Thank you!"

Song Pang was filled with tears of gratitude!

Chu Yun's face flushed red. It was all because of her that he had ended up in such a miserable state.

In addition, he even had to thank her for intervening, so she felt embarrassed.

"Goodbye. I'll go back and discipline my son now!"

Song Yiming took his leave with Song Pang in tow.

It was over!

Song Pang's vision went black when he heard that. Discipline my son? Was he going to f*cking torture me to death?

He immediately fainted.

Song Yiming had arrived threateningly, but ended up carrying his deformed son back in a panicked state.

He should have been angry at the person behind the scenes. Yet, despite being humiliated, and despite having his own son into a deformed state, Song Yiming did not harbor any grudges toward this person.

On the contrary, he was filled with respect and reverence for the person behind the scenes.

"It must be because that senior showed mercy. That's why I feel grateful and have a good impression of him."

"That has to be it!"

Song Yiming felt somewhat puzzled, but he did not feel that it was out of place either.

Chu Xuan had planted a soul seal on Song Yiming without the latter's knowledge.

Since Chu Xuan did not exert his will upon the latter, therefore, the latter had no idea that he had been controlled by someone.

As long as it did not directly contradict his thoughts, Song Yiming would not notice the presence of the soul seal. He only mistakenly believed that Chu Xuan had shown mercy, which was why he had respect and a good impression of him.

Chu Xuan had made Song Yiming his chess piece.

It was still unknown when or whether this chess piece would be activated.

Before the soul seal was activated, Song Yiming would have no idea that the soul seal had been planted. His mind and actions would not change at all.

The only change he would be able to sense was the increased respect and reverence for this mysterious senior.

There was no way Song Yiming would doubt himself because of this minor emotional shift.

This was the terrifying thing about the soul seed seal.

The sect master of Nine Swords Mountain had an esteemed status. With a stomp of his foot, many in the Southern Region would tremble.

Although he was not the strongest expert of Nine Swords Mountain, his status and influence were significant. During a critical moment, he could still play a significant role.

However, Chu Xuan had casually made him a chess piece. He did not really care if it could be used or what role it could play.

Song Yiming quickly left.

The Nine Swords Mountain disciples who controlled the Chu County cities were all stunned when they saw the sect master carrying an object that did not look like a human.

Looking at the object's attire, it seemed to be Junior Brother Song Pang…

What was going on?

"Retreat! return to Nine Swords Mountain!" Song Yiming ordered.

The Chu family was terrifying. They could not afford to offend that person.

Moreover, the other party kept such a low profile. It was obvious that they did not want to attract attention.

Therefore, he had to keep it a secret.

Song Yiming did not want that terrifying existence to be unhappy with him and come looking for him to kill him.

Given that terrifying existence's strength, even the combined might of Nine Swords Mountain would be insufficient against him.

If he was not careful, Nine Swords Mountain would be destroyed.

"Sect master, what's going on?"

The Nine Swords Mountain's disciples looked at the deformed Song Pang and asked curiously.

"What do you mean what's going on? This little b*stard is shameless. I have to teach him a good lesson!" Song Yiming said angrily.

The Nine Swords Mountain's disciples shut up. No matter how miserable Song Pang was, this was not a matter they could interfere with.

Song Yiming recalled all of Nine Sword Mountain's disciples from Chu County, and the territory returned to the control of the Chu family.

Great Qin Dynasty's imperial palace.

Qin Keyun looked at the information in her hands in disbelief.

Song Yiming did not die?

His son might not look like a human now, but to cultivators, it was not a life-threatening injury.

As long as the kid's foundation was not damaged, the injuries would be classified as superficial at most.

Was that handsome thirteenth young master of the Chu family so kind and merciful?

Qin Keyun's eyes lit up. Could she go and see him then?

Since he was soft-hearted toward the Nine Swords Mountain sect master, surely he would not make things too difficult for her, right?

However, what if…

Thinking this, Qin Keyun could only sigh.

She could not go to the Chu family, after all. What if he detained her and made her a servant girl?

The fairytale of the Great Qin Empress running off to become a servant girl… She was not mentally ill, and she was not infatuated with him to such an extent.

The elders of the Chu family felt like they were in a dream.

They believed that the Chu family was in great danger, so they were pessimistic and prepared to accept the fact that Chu Yun would be forced to marry Song Pang.

Who would have thought that it would end like this.

The sect master of Nine Swords Mountain suddenly went crazy. He beat up and humiliated his own son like a madman, to the extent that he no longer even looked human.

Was it the loss of morality or the distortion of fatherly love that caused this tragedy?

Chapter 83: Hu Quan's Final Madness

Chu Tianming had a feeling that Song Yiming's sudden fit of madness might have had something to do with Chu Yun.

How was that possible though?

He had to ask her in private.

"Do you think it's possible that it was due to the Empress's deterrence?"

A family elder asked in a low voice.

He had been brought back from the Great Qian Dynasty by Qin Keyun, so he had personally witnessed the Great Qin Empress' power.

"That can't be. Even though the Great Qin Empress is powerful, the Nine Swords Mountain sect master wouldn't be so afraid of her to the point of doing something so crazy, right?"

Chu Tianming expressed his doubts.

Furthermore, the relationship between the Great Qin Dynasty and Nine Swords Mountain was extraordinary. Nine Swords Mountain was still the main force guarding the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty.

On the basis of this relationship, they would not treat the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain like this, regardless of the reason.

It was even less likely that they would risk ruining their good relationship with Nine Swords Mountain on account of the Chu family.

"It's hard to say. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to imagine the might of the Empress."

That family elder's expression was extremely solemn.

Hearing what he said, Chu Tianming and the others were suspicious. Could it really be that the Empress had really been secretly intimidating the other party?

Was she still thinking about the old times?

Was she still thinking about Chu Yuan?

"That bastard Chu Yuan!"

At the thought of Chu Yuan, Chu Tianming could not help but roar in anger.

Chu Yun stuck out her tongue. Third brother was not around either. If he were to return one day, the situation would be very uncomfortable.

The matter of the Nine Swords Mountain sect master forcefully seeking Chu Yun's hand in marriage for his son was like a farce. It did not cause too much of a stir and any commotion about the matter quickly died down.

Those who were well-informed only knew that the Nine Swords Mountain's sect master had come with great momentum, but had returned to Nine Swords Mountain with his deformed son.

As for what exactly transpired, no one really knew.

They only knew that Song Pang had been beaten to a pulp by his father.

Many people guessed that it was probably because of the Great Qin's Empress.

Great Qin Dynasty, Purple Moon County.

The former Purple Moon Kingdom was now just the Purple Moon County of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The county governor was the former ruler of the Purple Moon Kingdom.

This person was very tactful. After surrendering, he did not have any thoughts of rebelling or wanting to become independent. He listened attentively to Qin Keyun's orders and became a capable subordinate of the Great Qin Empress.

Purple Moon County was also placed under his jurisdiction.

Even though he was no longer the ruler of a kingdom, and was only a county governor, he was still the most powerful person in Purple Moon County.

In a forest somewhere in Purple Moon County, a desolate figure walked into a damp, dark cave.

His eyes were filled with hatred.

There was a savage-looking scar on his face which stretched from left to right, covering his face.

The wound that resulted in this scar would likely have been enough to kill him had he not been lucky.

Hu Quan!

He had once been the leader of the Purple Moon Kingdom's heretic cult.

Now, he was in dire straits.

The heretic cult was still present in the Purple Moon County, but Hu Quan was no longer the leader of the Purple Moon Kingdom's heretic cult.

He was not one of the higher-ups.

Instead, he was a marginal figure.

Almost everyone had forgotten about him, the former leader of the Purple Moon Kingdom's heretic cult.

After the Great Qin Dynasty annexed the Purple Moon Kingdom, the heretic cult suffered a massive blow.

He was despised by the evil imperial court, who felt that he was useless. As such, they excluded him when they started rebuilding the heretic cult.

Hu Quan's backer had already abandoned him and chosen someone else.

The new sect leader had taken over, and would first make an example out of the old sect leader.

Hu Quan had thought that even if he had not contributed much, he had still been a loyal servant. However, despite serving the evil imperial court for so long, his situation and status had greatly changed.

He was no longer the sect leader of the Purple Moon Kingdom's heretic cult. He had wanted to go to the evil imperial court to cultivate and break through to the unity realm as soon as possible, but he was expelled by his former backer upon arrival.

His backer berated him for his uselessness and blamed him for the loss of his own personal reputation. He was then told that he did not deserve to stay in the evil imperial court.

Among all of the former heretic cult sect leaders, Hu Quan had the most miserable ending.

After the other sect leaders left their positions, they would always head to the evil imperial court to cultivate and become a member of the evil imperial court, even if they just ended up as pawns.

He was the only one who was expelled and abandoned.

The root of all of this originated from the Purple Moon Kingdom's heretic cult, which had almost been completely annihilated.

As the sect leader, he had been extremely incompetent.

This made the backer behind him become a joke among his peers.

Hu Quan was indignant and furious.

He thought about taking revenge on his backer, but the other party was too powerful and had too many subordinates. How could a mere peak-stage void realm expert like him take revenge on such a powerhouse?

After thinking about it, he decided that the root of his downfall was all due to the Chu family.

Thus, his hatred toward the Chu family grew stronger and stronger, to the point that he was now on the verge of losing his mind.

He had even been robbed recently.

As the sect leader of the heretic cult, who would have dared to rob him back then?

Hu Quan was injured, and he felt that his life had no future.

He had also thought about going to the Evil King's Palace before dying and making a name for himself among the circle of heretic cultivators. His life would not have been in vain then.

However, Hu Quan did not dare to do so. He still respected the Evil King, so he could not bring himself to do it.

Therefore, he started making long-term plans again.

He wanted to take revenge!

He wanted to make his name resound in the Southern Region.

Taking out the blood spirit bead, Hu Quan's eyes shone with hatred.

"Chu family!"

He was going to go all out to take revenge on the Chu family.

Through his unceasing efforts, he had already found a method by which he could activate the blood spirit bead.

The materials were all prepared.

Now all he needed to do was act.

Looking in the direction of Chu County, Hu Quan gnashed his teeth. If it had not been for the Chu family, how could he have ended up in such a miserable state?

The root cause of everything was the Chu family!

Hu Quan thought that once he activated the blood spirit bead, the Chu family's territory would be contaminated, which would transform its residents into devils that would be hunted down and killed by the experts of the Southern Region.

His fame and notoriety would then spread throughout the Southern Region.

The Chu family, once one of the three great aristocratic families of the Qin Kingdom, would have been destroyed by his hands after being transformed into devils.

This would make him even more famous than those who barged into the Evil King's palace.

Even if he died, it would all be worth it.

Hu Quan examined his body's internal injuries. He did not have much time left.

Even if he died, he would drag the Chu family down with him.

Hu Quan had made up his mind. After briefly recuperating, he then rushed to Chu County.

He had to hide himself. He had to enter the Chu family's territory stealthily and secretly activate the blood spirit bead.

The devilish blood energy would contaminate the Chu family's territory, causing its residents to transform into devils.

Once that happened, all of the transformed devils would be killed.

This was the ironclad law of the human race!

No force was an exception to this. Even the evil imperial court would kill the devils as soon as they found them.

Anyone who was contaminated by the devilish blood energy would become vassals and servants of the demon race. They did not belong to the human race anymore.

Since they were not human beings, they would no longer be allowed to live in the human territory.

Moreover, transformed devils were mostly cruel. Their personalities would change, and they had no humanity to speak of.

As a person responsible for spreading the devilish blood energy, he would also be hunted down.

In the human race, no force could tolerate scum like him.

However, Hu Quan did not care.

He wanted to be the first person to spread the devilish blood energy in the Southern Region.

Even if he was condemned for generations, so what?

At least in the history of the cultivation world, his name, Hu Quan, would be left behind.

He would have taken his revenge and gained a reputation. What was there to be unsatisfied about?

Hu Quan's eyes were filled with madness. He wanted everyone to know that even if he died, he would drag the culprit down with him.

In order to avoid any accidents, Hu Quan had been extremely careful along the way, specifically going out of his way to avoid the Black Moon Tower.

He was afraid that news that he possessed the blood spirit pearl would be leaked.

Finally, he arrived in Chu County. He looked in the direction of the Chu family's territory.

He would take action tonight!

"This is my final madness!"

Report chapter

Chapter 84: Subduing The Devil Soul With One Hand

After Song Yiming's visit, the Chu family once again realized the importance of strength in the cultivation world.

Everyone began to put all of their effort into training, hoping to make the Chu family rise to prominence once again.

The defenses around the family's territory returned to their normal state. A spirit realm guard captain led the other guards to patrol the family's territory.

The heretic cult was no longer much of a threat.

Since most external threats were basically eliminated, there was no need to be on high alert at all times.

The defenses around the ancestral residence, on the other hand, became even tighter instead.

At least one unity realm family elder would be patrolling the ancestral residence.

After all, the Chu family's ancient site was of great importance, and they could not afford to lose anything inside it.

The other family elders were all cultivating in seclusion inside the Chu family's ancient site.

They took turns patrolling every three days.

As Chu Yun continued refining medicinal pills, and more of the Chu family's foundation was unearthed, three more unity realm experts were added to the Chu family's forces.

Everyone in the Chu family could envision the eventual rise of the Chu family to becoming a truly great aristocratic family.

The fact that they were ostracized by the Qin family and had not become a vassal of the Great Qin Dynasty was perhaps a good thing.

At the very least, Chu County was still under the control of the Chu family.

The resources the family elders needed for cultivation could be obtained by selling pills.

Chu Tianming had already selected a few of the more talented juniors of the Chu family to study pill refinement under Chu Yun.

Chu Yun could not be the only one refining all the pills, after all.

Someone to refine the lower-level pills and, hopefully, the Chu family would gradually form a pill refinement system and foundation that would herald the rise of the Chu family.

Outside the Chu family grounds, a figure silently appeared.

In his hand was a bead.

At this moment, the bead seemed to be melting as it turned scarlet red.

There seemed to be fresh blood flowing within it.

If one looked carefully, one would discover that there was a faint figure within the dark brown blood.

The blood spirit bead had already been activated.

After fifteen minutes, it would turn into devilish blood energy, contaminating the entirety of the Chu family's territory.

Hu Quan's expression was malevolent, and his eyes were filled with madness.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past him. Before Hu Quan could react, he felt his body being lifted up and, the very next moment, he found himself inside a small courtyard.

Chu Xuan frowned as he looked at Hu Quan.

This guy had not made any movements for such a long time despite having long since obtained the fake map of the Chu family's territory that he had provided.

He had almost forgotten about him.

He had not expected the other party to suddenly appear.

Moreover, something was very wrong.

Looking at the demonic blood bead in Hu Quan's hand, he could feel a powerful and dirty aura from it, as well as a dense demonic aura.

A blood bead condensed from the blood energy of the demon race?

Moreover, it was not ordinary demon race blood.

This guy wanted to give the Chu family a vicious blow without making a sound.

"You!"

Hu Quan was shocked. How did he come here? He had not been able to resist at all.

What kind of strength did this person have?

However, it was too late. The blood spirit bead had already been activated.

The other party could not stop the tragedy from unfolding.

Hu Quan was pleased with himself.

"Swallow them."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and instructed the Spirit Devouring Flower to swallow Hu Quan.

As for the blood spirit bead, it was naturally swallowed as well.

To the Spirit Devouring Flower, the demonic blood was a great tonic. It was not affected by the demonic blood energy's filth.

The Spirit Devouring Flower's roots instantly spread out and swallowed Hu Quan.

In an instant, Hu Quan disappeared from the world.

Boom!

The blood spirit bead suddenly erupted with powerful might.

A figure with a short horn on its head and ears sticking up appeared with a ferocious expression on its face.

It shook off the Devouring Spirit Flower to the side.

Chu Xuan's expression changed slightly.

It was the soul of a demon race expert!

With a wave of his hand, the Heaven-revolving Universe Array Formation covered the small courtyard.

Su Xian'er and Ding Yue were startled by the powerful demonic might and opened their eyes to look.

"Devil soul!"

Su Xian'er cried out in surprise.

"Kakaka, this venerable self has finally emerged. Human junior, kneel before me!"

The devil soul looked at Su Xian'er and its smile became even more evil.

"Human girl, you are too beautiful. Kneel down and let this venerable self vent his desires. If I am satisfied, I'll let you keep your consciousness."

Boom!

The devil soul's aura erupted and a powerful aura swept over the courtyard.

It was infinitely close to the Heaven realm!

It was either a peak-stage Supreme realm, or the half-step Heaven realm, devil soul.

When the other party had been at his peak, he was probably a Heaven realm demon race expert.

However, he had been seriously injured, and even his devil soul's realm fell by a level.

Su Xian'er's face was pale.

Could Chu Xuan deal with such a powerful devil soul?

"Kid, this venerable self needs a new body. Yours will do fine."

The devil soul looked at Chu Xuan and laughed. It pounced over, trying to seize Chu Xuan's body.

"Hmph, impudent!"

Chu Xuan snorted coldly and raised his hand to press down. Mysterious symbols spread out, forming a special domain!

"Heaven-sealing forbidden technique!"

If the other party had been a full-fledged Heaven realm expert, Chu Xuan would have been afraid and relied on the universe revolving formation to trap the other party before escaping.

However, it was only a devil soul, so he did not take it seriously at all.

With the many methods at his disposal, as well as the divine weapon and Dao weapon that the system had rewarded him with, it was not a problem for him to suppress a devil soul.

Moreover, this devil soul had not even reached the Heaven realm.

It was not an exaggeration to say that, within the Supreme realm, he feared no one.

As soon as the heaven-sealing forbidden technique was used, the devil soul instantly felt his own power being restricted.

He could no longer use his domain power.

What shocked him even more was that all of his power, including his secret techniques, were no longer working.

He even felt that his devil soul was losing consciousness!

How could this be?!

Who was he? How could he be so powerful?

Was this place not the Southern Region within the Northern Zone?

Mo Tuo was shocked. He could only watch his soul be compressed.

"I can't accept this. I can't accept this. I escaped with my life during the invasion of the Southern Region, but I'm actually going to meet my end here?"

"Why am I not in the Southern Region? Why?"

"Who brought me out of the Southern Region?"

Mo Tuo roared in his heart. He wanted to struggle, but it was completely useless.

Back then, when he invaded the Southern Region of the Northern Zone, he did not die in that shocking battle. He was lucky enough to escape with a strand of his devil soul.

However, he had not expected to die so soon after finally re-emerging!

Under the shocked gazes of Su Xian'er and Ding Yue, that powerful and boundless devil soul was actually suppressed by Chu Xuan with a wave of his hand.

It seemed so simple, almost like killing a mosquito.

Su Xian'er and Ding Yue were deeply shocked. Chu Xuan's strength was beyond their wildest imagination.

Chu Xuan looked at the compressed devil soul in his palm. He wondered whether the devil soul was related to the demons that had fought in the war in the Asura Ancient Land.

A mere wisp of his soul was already so powerful. When he was at his peak, he probably was not considered a weakling among the Heaven realm experts, right?

Should he kill it directly?

Chu Xuan hesitated. It would be a pity to kill such a powerful devil soul just like that.

However, to seal it, he had to suppress it personally.

There seemed to be no Buddhism in this world.

Otherwise, he would have converted this devil soul and turned it into his loyal servant.

Given Chu Xuan's current strength, the success rate of forcefully planting a soul seal on the devil soul was not high. After all, the devil soul's realm was much higher.

Chu Xuan frowned and thought about ways to deal with the devil soul. It was very likely that this was a devil race expert who had invaded the Southern Region back then.

In that case, he probably knew many secrets about that ancient war with the demons.

Especially about whether there were any traitors among the human race.

Due to this, Chu Xuan did not want to kill the devil soul.

Chapter 85: Three Lives Buddhist Scripture And The World-Cleansing Glazed Pagoda

Just as Chu Xuan was about to slice the devil soul into several pieces to weaken the devil soul's power so that he could control them one by one, a system notification rang out in his mind.

"The host suppressed the Heaven realm devil soul with one hand and has been rewarded with the Three Lives Buddhist scripture and the World-cleansing Glazed Pagoda."

Heaven realm devil soul!

Sure enough, the system had recognized it as a Heaven realm devil soul. Based on this revelation, he knew that when this devil soul was at its peak, it was a Heaven realm expert.

Chu Xuan examined the reward.

The Three Lives Buddhist scripture was a Buddhist cultivation manual.

There did not seem to be any Buddhist sects in this world, and Chu Xuan had not heard or read about any records of Buddhist sects in the past either.

At least up until now, there were none in the Southern Region, including the entire Northern Zone.

Chu Xuan was uncertain as to whether there were any in the other zones.

"The Three Lives Buddhist scripture is a Buddhist cultivation manual. It's divided into the Past Burning Lamp scripture, the Present Tathagata scripture, and the Future Maitreya scripture. The three scriptures contain many Buddhist divine abilities and cultivation techniques…"

After Chu Xuan read the Three Lives Buddhist scriptures, he hesitated for a moment and decided to accept the indoctrination.

Although he had mastered Buddhist techniques, he was not a real monk. He just decided to just cultivate one additional path.

After comprehending the Three Lives Buddhist scripture, Chu Xuan's body emitted a vast amount of Buddhist light. When the Buddhist light shone on the devil soul, sizzling sounds could be heard.

The devil soul was like snow melting under the rays of the scorching sun.

Ding Yue and Su Xian'er were stunned. At this moment, Chu Xuan exuded a majestic and pure aura, as if he was cleansing one's mind and soul.

That golden light seemed to contain some sort of mysterious power.

Chu Xuan retracted the Buddhist light. The Three Lives Buddhist scripture was exceptionally effective against the demon race. It had a powerful restraining effect on the devil soul.

More importantly, the power of the Buddhist light would allow him to convert others.

Chu Xuan now had a way to deal with the devil soul.

With a flip of his palm, a small seven-story pagoda appeared.

The seven-story pagoda shone with lustrous light, and looked like it could purify and cleanse all the filth in the world.

World-purifying glazed pagoda!

A supreme treasure of the Buddhist path!

It could purify the filth in the world, purify demonic qi, and turn it all into pure Buddhist power.

It could also suppress all demons and monsters.

The world-purifying glazed pagoda had a unique ability, which was to convert the suppressed demons into Buddhists!

Chu Xuan threw the devil soul into the first level of the world-purifying glazed pagoda and casually placed the glazed pagoda in a corner of the universe space.

When the devil soul was converted, he would have one more loyal Buddhist disciple under him.

It would even be one converted from the demon race.

At this moment, Chu Xuan could not help but wonder if he should impart Buddhist cultivation techniques?

Buddhist cultivation techniques had a strong restraining effect on the demon race.

Once it spread, the demon race would seek him out to retaliate, right?

In fact, they would probably even wish they could swallow him alive.

Chu Xuan was not in a hurry to spread Buddhist cultivation techniques though. He would decide after he became stronger.

Moreover, even if he wanted to spread Buddhist cultivation techniques, he had to deal with it properly. He could not create some hypocritical baldy monks.

If he spread the Buddhist cultivation techniques, would he not end up becoming the Buddha of this world?

If he stayed in seclusion and spread Buddhism by becoming a sage-like ancestor, the rewards he would receive from the system for that would not be bad, right?

Thinking this, Chu Xuan was moved.

However, in order to spread Buddhism, he needed a suitable candidate. At the very least, the candidate's innate talent could not be poor.

As such, the task of spreading Buddhism could not be carried out for the time being. He could only wait for the right time.

Chu Xuan glanced at Su Xian'er and Ding Yue, whose faces were still filled with shock. He waved his hand and said, "Don't make a big fuss about it. It's just a weak devil soul."

Su Xian'er took a deep breath. Sir's strength was beyond imagination. Even such a powerful devil soul was easily suppressed.

His strength should have at least reached the Heaven realm, right?

Ding Yue was even more excited. Master is indeed powerful. I must work hard to cultivate and strive to break through the first stage of the way of the sword as soon as possible.

He felt that he was about to break through the first stage of the way of the sword. The image of his childhood sweetheart in his heart had gradually faded away.

Ding Yue believed that it would not be long before he could completely forget her. He would then be able to climb out off the sea of love and misery and focus solely on the way of the sword.

The more he cultivated, the less he missed his sweetheart. Ding Yue found that his comprehension of the Sword Dao became deeper and deeper, and he became more and more focused on cultivating the Sword Dao.

His master was right. Only by breaking through the three stages of the way of the sword would he be able to tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword.

Ding Yue's gaze turned resolute.

After suppressing the devil soul, Chu Xuan's days returned to normal.

Chu Xuan listened to Su Xian'er's daily briefings about the happenings in the Southern Region.

There were still heretics in the Great Qin Dynasty causing trouble, but they were unable to cause any serious damage.

The conflict between the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court had already calmed down, and they were no longer fighting each other.

For now, there were no signs of them joining forces to deal with the Great Qin Dynasty.

The conflict between the evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty was far too deep-seated. Unless they were faced with existential crises, it was virtually impossible for them to join forces.

Moreover, the relationship between the Great Qin Dynasty and Nine Swords Mountain was extraordinary. Unless they managed to rope in one of the remaining two sects, the combined forces of the evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty might not be able to win.

"Let me out! Damn it!"

Inside the first story of the world-cleansing glazed pagoda, Mo Tuo was trapped by golden chains. Buddhist light swirled around his body, continuously corroding and enlightening him.

The rolling demonic qi around his devil soul was constantly being suppressed.

Mo Tuo was shocked. He sensed a mysterious power continuously corroding him, and this power even had a strong restraining effect on his demonic power.

He was a Heaven realm devil soul, and his demonic power was powerful. Yet that vast golden light could actually suppress him.

The restraining effect of any kind of power on another was usually not absolute and, in many cases, opposing powers often mutually restrained each other.

There were definitely cultivation techniques among the human race which could restrain demonic power.

However, the restraining effect of those cultivation techniques were not too strong.

Moreover, the so-called restraining effect would only appear when there was not much difference in strength between the two parties.

If one's strength was stronger than the other's, the restraining effect would be greatly reduced.

However, the restraining effect of this mysterious power was too strong. Mo Tuo felt that if he wanted to suppress this restraining effect, he needed to be at least two minor realms higher.

When demons encountered this kind of power against an opponent of the same realm, they would be easily suppressed. They would have no chance of winning whatsoever.

Mo Tuo was very shocked.

When did such a powerful and mysterious power appear among the human race?

Could this be a new cultivation method?

If it had just been the golden light eroding his devil soul, Mo Tuo would still be able to hold out for a period of time. He would not feel so hopeless.

What gave him a splitting headache was that he felt extremely uncomfortable.

In his ears, in his consciousness, and in his soul, there were continuous murmurs.

These murmurs were very strange. They actually interfered with his consciousness and thoughts.

It was too terrifying!

Mo Tuo was terrified. He was very worried that, if this continued, would he be tortured by the murmurs until he went crazy?

In the midst of all the murmurs, there was only one sentence he understood, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha."

"Argh, let me out!"

"Human brat, do you want to start a war between our two races?"

"Given the might of the demon race, once the war starts, even the combined forces of the five zones of the human race might not be able to face us!"

Mo Tuo kept shouting and threatening.

In the end though, he was scared.

"Let me go! I'm begging you. I can't take it anymore."

"Stop that voice. I'm going to collapse. Master, can I call you Master?"

"Let me go. I'll acknowledge you as my master and be your servant, okay?"

"Master, please let Mo Tuo go."

In the end, Mo Tuo cried and called him Master.

Chapter 86: The World's First Buddha?

Chu Xuan looked at Mo Tuo, who was begging for mercy, unmoved.

After this period of erosion, one-third of Mo Tuo's devil soul had been transformed into a Buddha soul.

The Buddha soul exuded a dignified golden light.

He looked like an eminent monk who had attained the Dao.

Converting a devil expert into a Buddhist… Just thinking about it gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Looking at Mo Tuo, who was half-demon and half-buddha, Chu Xuan started having some new ideas.

What if he turned the demon race into a Buddhist race?

Just thinking about it made him excited.

This was equivalent to directly controlling a powerful race, or even creating a new race altogether.

From that point on, there would be no demon race in this world, only the Buddhist race?

If he really accomplished this feat, the system's reward would definitely be beyond his wildest imagination.

Still, he had to take things one step at a time. He could not rush things.

After Mo Tuo was converted, he would be able to better understand the situation of the demon race before slowly making plans.

Thinking that he would soon have a devout Buddhist disciple under him, Chu Xuan became extremely excited.

Once Mo Tuo was converted, he would no longer be called Mo Tuo but Buddha.

The first Buddha in this world?

If this world did not have a Buddha, Chu Xuan would be the first Buddha and the True Buddha.

The Devil Buddha would then be the first Buddha to be converted.

In truth, although Chu Xuan was the Buddha, he was not really a Buddha, which was why the Devil Buddha would be the true first Buddha.

Chu Xuan waited for Mo Tuo to become a Buddha. He took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe again. He wanted to find out if there was a Buddhist sect in the nine zones and fifty regions.

Of course, as an extremely powerful big shot in the myriad realms, everything in the nine zones and fifty regions should be under his control.

As such, Chu Xuan did not ask directly. Instead, he simply recited a few Buddhist scriptures and revealed some information about Buddhism.

Ren Changhe's face was filled with shock and astonishment.

From his reaction, Chu Xuan immediately understood that there were no Buddhas in the nine zones and fifty regions!

Otherwise, it was impossible for Ren Changhe not to recognize the scriptures. Buddhism was quite unique, after all.

Back inside the world-cleansing glazed pagoda, Mo Tuo was still crying and begging for mercy. He felt that he was about to go crazy.

The erosion of the golden light was definitely a problem, but the murmurs were far more terrifying.

The murmurs were filled with a strange power. However, even if the strange power did not exist, no one could stand having murmurs ringing in one's ears all day long.

Had they been ordinary murmurs, he might have been able to seal off his five senses to avoid hearing or sensing the murmurs.

However, the murmurs seemed to be reciting scriptures straight into his soul. There was simply no way to block or eliminate them.

It was simply terrifying!

Chu Xuan suspected that the enlightenment of Buddhism actually depended on the constant nagging and mumbling, which would make people break down before being enlightened.

Who could f*cking stand it? There was a constant buzzing sound in Mo Tuo's ears. In addition, the murmurs directly spoke into his consciousness and soul.

Mo Tuo's cries for mercy were useless. As such, he turned around and started cursing Chu Xuan again, as if he was trying to anger Chu Xuan and get him to kill him off directly.

Those murmurs were too terrifying.

Over time, for some reason, Mo Tuo would occasionally find himself reciting a Buddhist scripture.

It was completely involuntary.

He knew that his thoughts and consciousness were starting to be affected.

Occasionally, he would find himself lowering his head and reciting the mantra, "Amitabha."

It was too terrifying!

…

It had been more than a month since the Nine Swords Mountain's sect master Song Yiming tried to force the Chu family to marry Chu Yun to his son.

After hearing the news, most people threw it to the back of their minds and did not investigate the reason behind it.

Most people thought that Song Yiming had returned empty-handed due to the Great Qin's Empress' interference.

Evil King Palace.

The current Evil King sat on his throne. His expression was dark and gloomy.

Ever since he had been heavily injured by Qin Keyun, his temper had become much more irritable.

The Evil King, who was originally cold and scheming, had become irritable, impulsive, and easily angered after the trend of "Charging into the Evil King's Palace" emerged.

Then, after being defeated by Qin Keyun, his temperament took another turn for the worse.

He sported a dark facial expression, looking as if he had been cuckolded by his sweetheart.

The Evil King's attendants were on edge every day. They did not even dare to take a deep breath, afraid that any movements or slight actions would trigger the Evil King's unhappiness, which would get them killed immediately.

They even had to consider whether they should lead with their left or right foot when entering the door.

Not long ago, there was an unlucky guy who came to report to the Evil King when he was in a bad mood.

In the end, the Evil King had said, "How dare you lead with your left foot into the door first? Die!"

He was then slapped to death.

It was terrible!

Now, if the Evil King was in a bad mood, the servants would not report anything to him for fear of being slapped to death for some made-up reason.

It was all Kun Wu's fault.

The "Charging into the Evil King's Palace" trend that he had created had made the Evil King so angry that his entire temperament had changed.

"Is Chu County really not under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin Dynasty? Is it true that the Qin family has ostracized the Chu family?" The Evil King asked coldly.

"King, this matter is true. There is no trap or conspiracy."

Standing below was Chang Jianfeng, one of the 108 evil warriors of the evil imperial court.

Other than the Evil King himself, the evil imperial court comprised the ten evil commanders, thirty-six evil generals, and one hundred and eight evil warriors.

They represented the top powerhouses of the evil imperial court.

The evil commanders, evil generals, and evil warriors were all ranked based on their strength, and their positions were not fixed. If someone was stronger, then that person could replace the current title holder.

Since the establishment of the evil imperial court, only the Evil King's lineage had never been replaced, and his position had never been shaken. Regardless of whether it was the evil commanders, evil generals, or evil warriors, these had all changed over and over again.

There had been heretic cultivators who had held back until they were powerful enough to display their might by defeating the evil warriors, thus replacing them.

Of course, in order to consolidate their position, every evil commander would train their subordinates, and many of the thirty-six evil generals were formed factions under certain evil commanders.

It was the same for the evil warriors.

Those who were not from the evil commanders' factions all belonged to the Evil King's faction. Anyone without a faction would often be targeted and killed by others.

Only those who belonged to the Evil King's faction did not face such a problem.

Chang Jianfeng was born as a grassroots heretic cultivator. He had endured for many years before finally finding an opportunity to defeat an evil warrior and replacing him.

Those who belonged to the Evil King's faction would not be killed by those from the evil generals or the evil commanders' factions.

Although the Evil King's faction was powerful, there had to be a balance among the evil generals, evil commanders, and evil warriors. Therefore, they were very willing to accept and protect heretic cultivators who had no background and promote them to high positions.

The system of the evil imperial court was rather straightforward and simple.

"How is your strength compared to Song Yiming?"

The Evil King looked at Chang Jianfeng and asked.

"Slightly inferior," Chang Jianfeng answered truthfully.

Song Yiming was the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain, after all. Although they were both at the ninth level of the truth realm, Chang Jianfeng would definitely lose in a real fight against the other party.

The Evil King nodded. He was not surprised to hear this.

Chang Jianfeng was just an evil warrior after all. He was not even an evil general. Naturally, he would not be Song Yiming's match.

Nine Swords Mountain had a very deep foundation. Moreover, the sect master was not the strongest expert in the sect. He was only good at managing the sect, developing the sect, and enforcing the sect's rules.

Of course, as the sect master, his strength could not be that weak either.

Song Yiming was very strong. Out of the thirty-six evil generals, there were less than ten who could defeat him.

"You may leave."

With a wave of his hand, he ordered Chang Jianfeng to leave.

The evil King narrowed his eyes and started to think. Chu County occupied a very important place in the Great Qin Dynasty.

It was almost in the hinterlands of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Chu family also had an extraordinary relationship with the Qin, Zhao, and He families. If he could control the Chu family, perhaps it would turn out to be more useful than the heretic cult. At the critical moment, he could use the Chu family to stab the Qin family in the back.

"If I personally make a move, even if your Chu family is a dragon's den or tiger's lair, you will still have to bow down to me!"

The Evil King smiled coldly.

Report chapter

Chapter 87: The Evil King's Attack

The Evil King secretly left the Evil King's Palace and went to Chu County in the Great Qin Dynasty's territory in person.

With his strength, no one would notice him leaving.

Moreover, the Evil King had a bad temper and liked to kill people. If there was nothing to report, the servants preferred to hide far away and would not dare to trouble the Evil King.

Therefore, after the Evil King told them that he did not want to be disturbed, the servants were overjoyed.

During this period, even if there was an urgent matter, the servants would not dare to disturb the Evil King. They would instead hand the matter over to the other higher-ups of the evil imperial court to handle.

The higher-ups of the evil imperial court were aware of the Evil King's bad temper. Therefore, they could understand the servants' behavior.

Given the Evil King's strength, as long as he did not encounter Qin Keyun, no one would be able to defeat him.

Furthermore, in order to successfully complete his plan, and to prevent his plans for the Chu family from being uncovered, the Evil King disguised himself and avoided crowded and public places.

Furthermore, he only moved at night.

The reason why he was being so cautious was so that he could avoid the detection of the Black Moon Tower's intelligence network.

He knew very well that the Black Moon Tower was constantly paying attention to him. They wanted to sell information regarding his whereabouts and plans to others for a high price.

Of course, the Black Moon Tower did not only pay attention to the Evil King. Their list of high-priority tracking targets included the Great Qian Dynasty's ruler, the Great Qin Empress, and many other characters of note.

Everyone's priority was equal and balanced. With the Black Moon Tower's attention split, the Evil King's heart was much more calm.

The various faction leaders in the Southern Region and famous experts were all on the Black Moon Tower's watchlist.

Hence, the most important thing for anyone who wanted to do something secretly was to avoid the Black Moon Tower's spies.

If they discovered the Black Moon Tower's spies, when necessary, they would kill them off immediately to avoid exposing their whereabouts.

Although the Black Moon Tower was powerful, these were only spies. If the spies were discovered, they could kill them.

This was within the rules of the cultivation world. The Black Moon Tower did not dare to offend the masses over the deaths of their spies.

No matter how powerful the Black Moon Tower was, once they offended the masses, they would not be able to withstand the backlash.

After all, the Black Moon Tower did play by the rules, so if their intelligence personnel were exposed and killed by the experts they were monitoring, they had no choice but to accept it.

Although the Black Moon Tower's intelligence gathering capability was extremely powerful, it was not omnipotent. It was not capable of getting its hands on every piece of intelligence out there.

If an expert truly wanted to hide their tracks, it would not be easy to investigate their movements.

The Evil King moved forward and soon arrived at the Purple Moon County.

He was not far from Chu County now.

He did not make any moves along the way to avoid any possible exposing himself.

After arriving at Chu County, the Evil King did not head to the Chu family's territory immediately.

Instead, he collected information about the Chu family, especially investigating if there were hidden experts or if there was a possibility of an ambush.

Even though the Evil King was very confident in his own strength, he still needed to be cautious.

He was not invincible in the Southern Region.

The Great Qin Empress was not someone he could deal with.

After a few days of investigation, he confirmed that there was no possibility of an ambush in Chu County, and that there were no hidden experts.

There were not even any unity realm experts in the Chu family's territory.

The Chu family seemed to have become withdrawn and had entered a dormant period, seemingly very low-key.

Compared to their arrogance when they were annihilating the heretic cult, the current Chu family was unsettlingly quiet and seemed to be doing their best not to attract any attention.

The Evil King felt that it probably had something to do with the Chu family being excluded from the core of the Great Qin Dynasty's affairs.

"Since the Great Qin Dynasty has ostracized your Chu family, then you should come and join my evil imperial court."

The Evil King smiled coldly.

As night fell, the Evil King set off toward the Chu family's territory.

He had personally come this time to secretly take control of the Chu family. Moving at night made it easier for him to conceal his actions.

The Chu family was a very important piece. Once he successfully took control of them, it would be the same as planting a hidden piece in the Great Qin Dynasty. If he was successful, he would be able to backstab the Great Qin Dynasty at any time.

…

Ding Yue and Su Xian'er were both cultivating diligently inside the universe space.

Ding Yue's sword intent had grown especially strong, and the image of his childhood sweetheart in his heart had already become very blurry.

It would not be long before he completely forgot his childhood sweetheart.

He would no longer think about her and would no longer be distracted by her. He could wholeheartedly devote himself to the cultivation of the way of the sword.

As the thoughts of missing his childhood sweetheart grew fainter and fainter, Ding Yue found that his focus on the way of the sword was also becoming stronger and stronger.

He increasingly felt that his master's teachings were correct. If he wanted to cultivate the Supreme Sword, he had to truly forget about his sweetheart.

While he was trying his best to break through the first stage of the way of the sword, Ding Yue had also made preparations to break through the second stage as well.

He carved a wooden figure and placed it where Su Xian'er was cultivating. Every now and then, he would look over.

When was the first person he paid attention to not Su Xian'er, but the wooden figure, it would mean that he had made progress in the second stage of the way of the sword.

Su Xian'er's facial expression was dark the entire time. Ding Yue, this rascal, was determined to be a single dog.

Was he using her to temper his state of mind to break through the second stage of the way of the sword? Since that was the case, then she could not be blamed for being ruthless.

Su Xian'er held a long whip and flung it, wrapping Ding Yue up. She directly threw him high into the air and gave him a fierce beating.

I'll give you a beating every day. I'd like to see if you'll end up staring warily at me first, or to look at the wooden figure first.

Ding Yue sadly realized that, after getting beaten up, he had become wary of Su Xian'er and was angry at her at the same time.

Every time he looked at Su Xian'er, he would subconsciously look at Su Xian'er. Only after that did he realize that he wanted to look at the wooden figure first.

The second stage was too difficult. Every time he was distracted, he would be disturbed by external things.

However, Ding Yue was not discouraged. Instead, he became even more determined.

Every day, Chu Xuan would use the Myriad Heavenly Mirror to connect to a random place, occasionally deceiving the people he met.

However, he did not encounter any experts, therefore his hopes of deceiving another expert fell through.

When night fell, Chu Xuan yawned and was about to go back to his room to sleep.

With his strength, he actually did not need to sleep. However, he was already used to it. He would look at the spirit cultivating diagram to cultivate the power of his divine soul before slowly falling asleep.

This was part of his daily life.

Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared outside the Chu family's territory.

A half-step Emperor realm expert!

It was a half-step Emperor realm powerhouse. Although the intruder was much weaker than Qin Keyun, he was much stronger than Song Yiming.

He had almost touched the threshold of the Emperor realm.

If the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were restored, the other party would have a chance of breaking through to the Emperor realm.

A half-step Emperor realm powerhouse was already considered one of the foremost experts in the Southern Region. Why did this person come to the Chu family's territory?

What did he want to do?

Moreover, there was an evil power hidden inside the body of the person who came. He was undoubtedly a heretic cultivator.

A heretic cultivator who was a half-step Emperor realm expert…

An absurd thought appeared in Chu Xuan's mind. Could this guy be the Evil King of the evil imperial court?

Was he here to deal with the Chu family personally?

However, from his current actions, it seemed that he did not intend to kick up a big fuss here. It seemed that he did not want to destroy the Chu family, but instead had other plans for them.

Given the Evil King's strength, even if he did kick up a big fuss here, he would still be able to safely escape back to the evil imperial court.

After all, in the entirety of the Great Qin Dynasty, besides Qin Keyun, no one was his match.

In addition, Qin Keyun was too far away from Chu County.

By the time she received news of his presence here, he would have long fled.

Therefore, seeing that the Evil King was behaving so carefully and suspiciously, there had to be other motives behind his visit. The truth of the matter was, he wanted to secretly control the Chu family.

Report chapter

Chapter 88: The Frightened Evil King

When the Evil King entered the Chu family's territory and saw that the guards of the Chu family were all at the profound realm, he felt that he had been overly cautious.

How could a mere Chu family stand up to an Evil King like him?

So what if there was an ambush? Who would be able to stop him?

If Qin Keyun, the empress, personally made a move, he would be no match for her. Still, if he wanted to escape, the other party would not be able to stop him.

With this thought in mind, the Evil King stopped hiding himself. Instead, he swaggered out.

He headed in the straight toward the Chu family's ancestral residence.

Although he was no longer overly cautious, the Evil King did not want to be exposed in advance. After all, if others knew that the Evil King had visited the Chu family, but the Chu family had emerged unharmed, people would know that there was something wrong with the Chu family.

As such, even though the Evil King was swaggering forward, the guards still did not notice him.

There was a small courtyard in front of him.

The Evil King only took a brief glance at it before ignoring it. He planned to continue moving forward.

However, his body moved, and the scene before his eyes changed.

He suddenly appeared inside a small courtyard.

There was a handsome young man in front of him who was sitting leisurely on a reclining chair.

Beside the young man was a beautiful woman dressed as a servant who was elegantly making tea.

Gulp!

The Evil King swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt his scalp go numb and his muscles instantly tensed up.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous!

Just a moment ago, he had been outside the courtyard preparing to go to the Chu family's ancestral residence to control the family head and thereby secretly control the entire Chu family.

However, he had suddenly appeared inside this courtyard in the blink of an eye.

The crux of the matter was that he did not even know how he ended up inside the courtyard.

The Chu family was extremely terrifying!

At this moment, cold sweat ran down the Evil King's back and he felt extremely regretful. Why did he decide to take control of the Chu family?

It was all that damn Kun Wu's fault!

That's right, it was him who had messed up his mood and caused him to become impatient and irritable. That was why he hot-headedly ran over to the Chu family.

Looking at the young man on the reclining chair, the Evil King's body tensed up and he stood ramrod straight.

Who was he?

Was he Chu Qiuluo?

The Evil King remembered the name of the outstanding talent of the Chu family who had once dominated the Qin Kingdom and became famous throughout the Southern Region.

On second thought, the Evil King felt that something was amiss.

Chu Qiuluo was indeed talented, but how old was he? How could he be so powerful?

No matter how monstrous he was, he would at best have reached the half-step Emperor realm.

Besides, did Chu Qiuluo and his wife not go missing?

Were they not only at the peak of the void realm before they went missing?

Given the Great Qian Dynasty's way of doing things, Chu Qiuluo would have had to go to the Great Qian Dynasty if he wanted to break through to the unity realm.

Therefore, the person in front of him was definitely not Chu Qiuluo.

He looked young, but was he actually an old monster?

The Evil King was a little flustered.

Escape?

He immediately dispelled this thought. The other party had silently moved him, a half-step Emperor realm, into the courtyard.

No matter what, he would not be able to escape from the other party's palm.

Chu Xuan yawned. He glanced at the frightened Evil King and said, "Evil King?"

The Evil King's body trembled.

'What should I do? Should I beg for mercy?'

'I'm the Evil King. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for him to beg for mercy?'

Then again, it was not really embarrassing to beg for mercy from an old monster.

In an instant, the Evil King's thoughts changed rapidly. He bowed and said, "Yes, yes, I pay my respects to Senior!"

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pay a visit to the head of the Chu family," The Evil King hurriedly lied.

Chu Xuan rolled his eyes. The Great Evil King of the evil imperial court secretly came to visit that old man Chu Tianming in the middle of the night?

Who was he trying to fool?

"Hmph!"

Chu Xuan only coldly harrumphed.

The Evil King was so frightened that his body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "This Junior did not know his place and wanted to control the Chu family. Please spare my life, Senior!"

His dignity was important, but not as important as his life.

After all, he had already been humiliated again and again, making him the most undignified of all the evil kings in history.

As such, he did not mind losing a little bit more dignity.

The Evil King consoled himself.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before asking, "Do you know about the Great Qin Emperor?"

The evil imperial court had existed for a long time, perhaps even before the great war with the demons.

However, it had only truly risen to prominence after the great war.

Even the Great Qian Dynasty could not suppress its rise, and was instead suppressed by it. From this, one could tell how extraordinary the evil imperial court was.

As the current Evil King and one of the top experts in the Southern Region, he definitely knew a lot of secrets.

The Evil King was startled. He did not know why the other party asked this question.

"I don't know much."

"Tell me what you know."

"Yes, yes."

The Evil King nodded and sorted out his thoughts before saying, "I once read in an ancient book that the Great Qin Emperor unified the Southern Region and established the Great Qin Empire, which was the largest empire in the Northern Zone…"

Chu Xuan was surprised. He had thought that the Evil King would know more, but the other party did not seem to know much. The Evil King only knew that the Great Qin Emperor had unified the Southern Region, and had founded the largest empire in the Northern Zone.

After all, the other regions in the Northern Zone had not been unified yet, so now that the Southern Region had been unified, the Great Qin Empire naturally became the largest empire in the Northern Zone.

Since he could not get too much information about the Great Qin Emperor, Chu Xuan changed his focus, "How much do you know about the Asura Ancient Land?"

"Not much."

The Evil King panicked. He did not know much about these ancient secrets.

What if the other party felt that he was worthless and slapped him to death?

"Speak."

"Yes, yes."

Cold sweat dripped down the Evil King's forehead. He did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it away and maintained his bowed posture, not even daring to take a deep breath.

"Rumor has it that the Asura Ancient Land was the battlefield where the demon race invaded the Southern Region and started a war."

"Because those who participated in the war were all Heaven realm experts, the battle became so intense that the ley lines of the Southern Region collapsed, thereby damaging the laws of Heaven and Earth. There is also news that the Asura Ancient Land will open in twenty to thirty years."

After saying that, the Evil King glanced at Chu Xuan nervously.

"What other experts does the evil imperial court have?"

Chu Xuan pondered. Which expert had founded the evil imperial court?

Currently, the top forces in the Southern Region all had backers behind them. They either had the support of other forces, or they had prepared a scheme for the Asura Ancient Land.

Some of them were the branches of major forces that had left the Southern Region to rebuild their factions.

"Apart from me, there's also my uncle. However, he's always in closed-door cultivation."

The Evil King hesitated for a moment but, in the end, he chose to answer honestly.

Given the other party's terrifying strength, if he really wanted to destroy the evil imperial court, they would not be able to even mount a resistance. As such, he might as well answer honestly.

Whether he lived or died depended completely on luck.

Chu Xuan understood. His uncle was the previous evil king, and the strongest expert of the evil imperial court.

There were even rumors circulating in the outside world that he had successfully broken through to the Emperor realm through some kind of secret technique.

After asking all those questions, Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a stream of energy entered the Evil King's body.

At the same time, he planted a soul seal on the Evil king.

Controlling the Evil King of the evil imperial court could come in handy some time.

"Go back and reorganize the evil imperial court."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, my Lord," The Evil King said respectfully.

He was panicking inside. Had he been controlled just like that?

What was even sadder was that he had still retained his mental clarity and consciousness, but was unable to resist Chu Xuan's will.

Moreover, he was actually filled with respect and reverence toward this old monster before him. He was completely unable to muster even the slightest thought of opposing him.

The Evil King would much rather have lost his self-consciousness than have a clear mind. He was deeply aware that he was being controlled, yet was unable to resist. He was being constantly tormented by this contradiction.

Chapter 89: Someone Come Quickly! The Evil King Has Gone Mad!

The Evil King left.

Before that, Chu Xuan threw him a communication jade talisman so that he could keep in contact.

At the same time, he asked the Evil King to tidy up the evil imperial court after he went back.

As for how that would be done, the Evil King naturally had his own ideas.

Chu Xuan had planted his own energy along with the soul seed seal inside the Evil King's body. If the old evil king came out of seclusion, the energy would be immediately activated, which would suppress the old evil king and plant the seed soul seal inside the latter.

He did not force the Evil King to deceive the old evil king. There was no need for that.

He would just leave it to fate.

The Evil King had not even reached the Emperor realm, so he did not deserve Chu Xuan's attention.

He had just controlled the Evil King on a whim. Perhaps this chess piece would become useful when the Asura Ancient Land opened.

After the Evil King left the Chu family's territory, he finally let out a sigh of relief. His life was saved.

However, from now on, the Evil King had become someone else's servant.

It was all Chang Jianfeng's fault!

Their intelligence gathering had failed miserably!

He had gone to the Chu family's territory in person and almost lost his life.

The evil imperial court was too weak, and all the heretic cultivator b*stards were angry at him.

After he returned, he would definitely deal with them ruthlessly.

The Evil King then successfully returned to the evil imperial court.

Upon returning to the evil imperial court, he saw that someone was barging into his palace again. He almost exploded with anger.

If it had not been for these b*stards, who would always barge into his palace and ruthlessly challenge his dignity, causing him to become irritable, he would not have fallen into the hands of the tiny Chu family.

With that thought in mind, the Evil King looked at the surrounding heretic cultivators and felt that these people were extremely detestable.

They deserved to be killed!

The tidying up of the evil imperial court would start with these b*stards.

At this moment, outside the Evil King's Palace, many heretic cultivators were watching.

As the number of people barging into the Evil King's Palace increased, it no longer caused such a big commotion. The guards of the Evil King's Palace had also become numb to it.

Now, when they saw someone barging into the Evil King's Palace, they only chased after them as a symbolic gesture. They did not have any intention of killing them.

The people who barged into the evil King Palace were also tactful. They exchanged a few blows with the guards and then left after barging past the gate and taking a turn.

There was a tacit understanding between them.

Barging into the Evil King's Palace was no longer a matter of certain death.

Now, breaking into the Evil King's palace had become a must-do activity for heretic cultivators who had just arrived at the capital of the evil imperial court.

If they came to the capital and did not barge into the Evil King's Palace, they would be embarrassed to admit that they had gone to the capital. They would be ridiculed as cowards.

As for the dignity and reputation of the Evil King, not many people cared about it now.

This was also the main reason why the Evil King was angry. He was now known as the evil king with the least dignity of all the past evil kings.

He had personally killed several heretic cultivators, but not only had he failed to intimidate the heretic cultivators, but the ones who had been killed had instead been regarded as glorious martyrs.

It was as if barging into the Evil King's palace and successfully attracting the Evil King to personally attack was a glorious death.

This was also the reason why the Evil King had stopped attacking.

At this moment, the Evil King had returned to the capital from the outside. He looked at the heretic cultivators who were bravely barging into his palace, as well as at the crowd of onlookers.

For the first time, he understood that the reason why there were so many people charging into the Evil King's Palace one after another was all because of the adulation of the onlookers.

They all deserved to die!

At this moment, the Evil King's killing intent surged.

The evil imperial court was in a mess. It was time to clean everything up.

How could he make this like a proper empire?

He had never thought that an empire formed by heretic cultivators would definitely not be a proper empire.

Chu Xuan had asked him to clean up the evil imperial court. This was an absolute command. The Evil King watched the heretic cultivators barge into his palace and found where he would start his clean up.

"Do you think the Evil King will personally make a move this time?"

"How is that possible? The ones who came to break into the Evil King Palace this time have only reached the void realm. How could they provoke the Evil King into making a move?"

"That's right. If the Evil King makes a move now, it would be too undignified. Even if they die, it would have been worth it. After all, it is glorious for a mere void realm expert to die at the hands of the Evil King."

The onlookers discussed things among themselves.

The Evil King's anger kept rising.

Dignified?

How the f*ck would I still have dignity?

I have to restore my dignity.

"Go to hell."

The Evil King looked at the guards who were pretending to fight against the intruders. He could no longer contain his anger.

He had to start a massacre today!

Boom!

A blood-red palm suddenly reached out and grabbed both sides.

The powerful aura scared all the heretic cultivators so much that their expressions drastically changed.

The Evil King made a move!

"What's going on? The Evil King made a move?"

A small group of people in the crowd felt that something was wrong and quickly left quietly.

The blood-red palm clenched and crushed both sides to death.

The onlookers' expressions changed when they saw the Evil King crushing the guards to death.

However, they did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, the guards had been too perfunctory in performing their duties, so it was normal for the Evil King to be angry at them.

The Evil King's figure appeared at the entrance of the Evil King's Palace and scanned the crowd.

"Greetings to the Evil King!"

The onlookers had no idea that a disaster was coming.

Seeing the Evil King appear, they all bowed and greeted him.

After all, he was the Evil King and the current leader of the evil imperial court. They had to give him the respect he deserved.

However, they felt that this evil king was the most undignified one in history.

"Do you still see me as the Evil King?"

The Evil King sneered and suddenly roared, "You all deserve to die!"

Boom!

The aura of a half-step Emperor realm expert erupted.

He raised his hand and slapped it toward the crowd.

Boom!

More than ten heretic cultivators died in an instant.

The others became terrified and tried to run away, but the Evil King was so angry that there was no way that he would let them.

His false domain was activated at this moment, and a blood-red long saber appeared in his hand.

Whoosh!

A blood-red saber light swept out and killed dozens of people in an instant.

The false domain of the Evil King was very weak in comparison to actual Emperor realm experts.

It was also much weaker than Qin Keyun's false domain.

However, it was very easy for him to use it to suppress those in the truth realm and below.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Everyone panicked.

"Have you finally realized that I'm your king now?"

The Evil King's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light.

The blood-colored saber slashed out again and again, killing the onlookers.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, no one would sit around and wait for death. Everyone started to fight back.

The trend of barging into the Evil King's Palace had been ongoing for so long, so there were not many experts among the onlookers now.

There were only a few truth realm experts present, and less than 10% of them had reached the unity realm. Most of them were void realm cultivators and below.

Among them, those in the profound realm and the spirit realm were the most numerous.

How could they resist the Evil King's attacks?

In just a short moment, one-third of them had been killed.

The Evil King's outburst naturally shook the capital.

Many experts from various factions rushed over in a hurry. After all, there were some of their factions in the crowd, and there were even some direct descendants of the experts present there.

"Your Majesty, please show mercy!"

"Go to hell!"

The Evil King directly slashed out with his saber, killing that expert on the spot.

The expressions of the other experts that had rushed over immediately changed. Had the Evil King gone mad?

"Someone come quickly! The Evil King has gone mad!"

Countless experts from large factions, including the evil commanders, evil generals, and evil warriors, rushed over in a hurry. They had to stop the Evil King from continuing his massacre.

One had to know that the heretic cultivators in the capital were all elites. If too many of them were killed, it would affect the overall strength of the evil imperial court.

They might even end up being suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you can't continue killing."

An evil commander rushed over to stop him.

Report chapter

Chapter 90: Little Evil King, Old Evil King

"Go to hell!"

The Evil King directly slashed out with his blade.

'B*stard, there have been people who repeatedly challenged this king's dignity, but you didn't come out to kill them, yet you actively came out to persuade me when I did?'

This travesty must be properly rectified!

The evil commander's expression changed drastically.

F*ck!

Had the Evil King really gone crazy?

He hurriedly blocked the attack.

As an evil commander, his cultivation had to be at the peak of the truth realm. There was no way that he could become one of the top experts of the evil imperial court otherwise.

Although the Evil King was powerful, it was still impossible for him to kill the evil commander in one move.

Boom!

The battle became even more intense.

"Your Majesty, please stop. We can't continue fighting like this."

One after another, the evil commanders, the evil generals, and the evil warriors rushed over and joined hands to resist the Evil King's crazy attacks.

Everyone felt as if they had eaten a fly.

Why did the Evil King suddenly go crazy?

"Are you all rebelling?"

The Evil King became more and more furious, and his attacks became more and more ferocious.

The experts of the evil imperial court all turned pale and tried their best to resist the Evil King's attacks.

If this matter continued to develop, would the capital still be needed?

More evil warriors rushed over from afar. Seeing this situation, they hurriedly ran into the Evil King's Palace and asked the experts from the Evil King's lineage to persuade the Evil King.

If this battle continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The death of an evil warrior, an evil general, or even an evil commander, or even if they were seriously injured, would affect the overall strength of the evil imperial court.

The experts from the Evil King's lineage also hurried over to persuade him.

However, the Evil King became even angrier.

He felt that his dignity as the evil king had been completely decimated. These b*stards even dared to attack him.

The experts' expressions turned ugly. They could only join hands to block the Evil King's attacks and temporarily restrain him.

The Evil King was enraged. His half-step Emperor realm cultivation was displayed in its entirety. Everyone became very serious. He was too strong. If they were careless, even if there were so many experts joining hands, they could still be killed or injured.

In the eastern courtyard of the Evil King's Palace.

A pale-faced young man with a demonic aura was sitting in the pavilion, humming a tune.

A figure flew over.

"Your Highness, please go and persuade His Majesty!"

The little evil king glanced at the person.

This was one of the evil warriors of the imperial court who belonged to the Evil King's lineage.

"Why are you looking for me? Go and find someone who can suppress my father."

The evil warrior was helpless, so he could only join forces with the powerful warriors of the Evil King's lineage to ask the old evil king to come out of seclusion.

The little evil king sighed and looked at the battle taking place outside the palace. He muttered, "I told you. It's easy to have problems with your brain when you cultivate evil techniques. Look, there's a problem now."

"Fortunately, I don't cultivate evil techniques."

The little evil king felt that it was fortunate that he had made the right decision back then. If he cultivated evil techniques too, he might have problems with his brain one day.

"Someone, come here."

A figure dressed in black appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness."

"It's time to feed the fish."

"Yes."

Not long after, a woman of sixteen or seventeen years old appeared in the hands of the man dressed in black.

The woman's face was pale and her entire body was trembling.

The little evil king stood up and grabbed the woman by the neck, lifting her up. He walked over to the side of the pavilion and looked at the fish pond below.

There were blood-red silhouettes swimming in the fish pond. Blood-red strange fish with fangs appeared on the surface of the water, revealing their snow-white teeth.

Rip!

The little evil king tore off one of the woman's arms. Fresh blood gushed out and splashed into the fish pond. The arm was also thrown into the water.

Splash!

The blood-red strange fish crazily snapped up the food.

The woman who was held in his hand by the neck let out a mournful howl as she continuously twisted her body.

The little evil king displayed an expression of enjoyment on his face as he tore the limbs off the woman and threw her flesh into the water to feed the fish. At the same time, he watched the battle taking place outside the palace.

"Sigh, what kind of evil technique are you practicing? Your brain has already been damaged from practicing it. You keep going crazy every now and then!"

The black-clothed man's entire body tensed up. He had experienced the fish feeding scene countless times, but he still felt a chill in his heart every single time.

After hearing the little evil king's words, he only had one thought in his mind. The little evil king's brain was truly broken!

In terms of evilness, who could compare to the little evil king?

In the evil imperial court, there was probably no one more ruthless, more evil, and more perverse than him.

He had torn a living person into pieces and fed her to the fishes. Moreover, that person would not faint and would remain conscious the entire time.

Their miserable howls were like beautiful melodies to the little evil king's ears.

"I can't stay in the capital any longer."

The little evil king threw the rest of the corpse into the pond and led the black-clothed person out of the palace.

In the depths of the Evil King's Palace, a group of people were kneeling in front of an underground palace.

The underground palace was where the old evil king was in seclusion.

After a long while, an old and majestic voice could be heard from the underground palace.

"What's the matter?"

"The Evil King has gone mad and is slaughtering experts!"

The old man in the front said helplessly.

He was from the Evil King's lineage and was the Evil King's uncle.

"Hmm?"

Boom!

The underground palace's door opened.

A tall and sturdy figure walked out.

A fierce aura surged forth, frightening the kneeling people and forcing them to retreat.

The old evil king had come out of seclusion!

The old evil king raised his head to look at the battle outside the palace.

"This is getting more and more outrageous!"

The old evil king was furious.

He had devoted his life to cultivation, but the laws of heaven and earth were damaged in the Southern Region, so he could not break through to the Emperor realm.

He wanted to leave the Southern Region, but he had been stopped, so he had no choice but to go into seclusion to try to break through with a secret technique.

He had no children, so he passed the position of evil king to his nephew.

He had not expected such a ridiculous thing to happen not long after he went into seclusion.

He moved and appeared outside the palace.

"Stop!" The old evil king shouted angrily.

Everyone stopped. The Evil King's expression changed drastically. He had not expected the old evil king to come out of seclusion.

One had to know that there was a power hidden in his body that was meant to control the old evil king.

Chu Xuan did not ask him to control the old evil king, so the Evil King naturally would not try to harm his uncle.

However, he did not expect the old evil king to actually come out of seclusion.

The evil king's body trembled, and a stream of power appeared, directly pressing down on the old evil king.

This stream of power was silent and soundless. Other than the Evil King himself, no one else noticed it.

Even the old evil king only noticed it the moment the power descended. It was already too late for him to resist.

Moreover, with his strength, there was no way he could resist.

In an instant, a soul seed seal was planted into his soul.

Chu Xuan did not exert his will on this soul seed seal.

The Evil King looked at the old evil king, and the old evil king looked at the Evil King. The uncle and nephew pair remained silent for a while.

"Why did you kill the powerhouses of the evil imperial court?"

The old evil king asked in a deep voice.

"I want to clean up the evil imperial court!" The Evil King said with a solemn expression.

The Old Evil King was silent for a while. He then moved and returned to the underground palace where he had been in seclusion.

His voice could be heard from afar, "Then clean it up well."

"Thank you for your support, Uncle!"

The Evil King bowed and said.

The evil commanders, evil generals, and evil warriors all had a bad feeling.

He wanted to clean up the evil imperial court?

How?

Moreover, even the old evil king supported it. Who could stop the Evil King now?

The higher-ups of the evil imperial court looked at each other. They had a feeling that the days ahead would be difficult.
