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.

Chapter 91: Five Years

The Evil King acted swiftly and decisively. He suppressed any dissatisfaction and reorganized the evil imperial court, finally regaining the dignity of an evil king.

What made the countless heretic cultivators unhappy was that the Evil King had actually introduced a series of laws that placed many restrictions on the heretic cultivators.

There were too many rules and regulations, to the point that it was even stricter and more restrictive than the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It was simply ridiculous!

They were heretic cultivators, so why was there a need for so many laws?

However, the old evil king also supported it, which caused many of the upper echelons of the evil imperial court to think that the old evil king and the Evil King had both lost their minds.

They wanted to look for the little evil king to persuade those two, but the little evil king had already left the evil imperial court.

As such, they could only bear with it.

Perhaps when the Evil King's anger subsided, the laws and regulations would be repealed.

If there were people who opposed the new law of the evil imperial court, there would also naturally be people who supported it. For example, those who were at the bottom rungs and weaker cultivators.

Under the new laws, they would be able to obtain more protection and have more opportunities to cultivate and rise up.

Chu Xuan had only casually asked the Evil King to reorganize the evil imperial court. As for how that objective was accomplished, he did not care.

In this world where the strong reigned supreme, there were not many good laws. Most kingdoms only promulgated some simple rules, and those laws rarely protected or safeguarded the welfare of the weak.

However, even if they did, there would always be experts who would disregard the rules and kill the weak anyway.

The law enforcers would usually turn a blind eye and would not offend the strong for the sake of the weak.

If even the Great Qian Dynasty was like this, what more the evil imperial court?

The evil imperial court's new laws made many factions wonder if there was something wrong with the Evil King's head.

He was an heretic cultivator, yet he had created such strict laws to protect the weak and even set up a law enforcement team.

His sense of justice was even stronger than the righteous path.

His benevolent and wise actions seemed unbecoming of an evil king.

If these new laws were strictly implemented, the evil imperial court would not be evil anymore, it would be fair and just.

Compared to them, the Great Qian Dynasty now looked to be the evil ones.

The Southern Region regained its peace, and there were no conflicts between the major factions.

The only place that was not peaceful was the evil imperial court, which had pushed forward many new laws. Many heretic cultivators who were not used to the new laws felt the heat.

Many of them were imprisoned, and they secretly wondered if they were in an evil kingdom or a just one.

Chu Xuan had originally thought that the Great Qian Dynasty would send people to the Chu family to control the Chu family for their own use, turning them into a thorn in the Great Qin Dynasty's side.

In the end though, the Great Qian Dynasty did not send anyone.

Ever since Qin Keyun had led the Great Qin Dynasty to rise up, the Southern Region had undergone a massive power restructuring and, after a short period of turmoil, it returned to a peaceful state.

Chu Xuan knew that the various factions were all waiting for the Asura Ancient Land to open.

As for the Great Qin Dynasty, it was busy absorbing whatever resources it could find to rapidly develop its foundation and strength.

The Chu family was also cultivating in a low-profile manner, and each and every one of them was trying their best to increase their strength, wanting to catch up to the other three families.

Chu Xuan raised his head. The light in his eyes gleamed as the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region continued to recover.

As the laws were restored, the cultivation speed of the Southern Region's cultivators also gradually increased.

Time flew by. Soon, the five-year milestone had arrived.

Chu Xuan's cultivation had already risen to the fourth level of the Supreme realm.

The strength of his two pets had increased very quickly as well. The Heavenly Spirit Cat reached the fifth level of the Emperor realm and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc reached the ninth level Emperor realm.

After the Spirit Devouring Flower swallowed the devilish blood energy from the blood spirit pearl, it underwent a transformation, and its strength was now equivalent to the sixth-level Emperor realm cultivator.

Ding Yue was indeed worthy of being the fated person of the current generation of the Southern Region. Moreover, his terrifying talent in the Sword Dao was further complemented by his Heaven's Will Sword Pulse. His cultivation had already reached the third level of the void realm.

It had only taken him less than two years to advance from the first level of the spirit realm to the third level of the void realm.

Moreover, given the sword technique that Ding Yue cultivated, it was not a problem for him to cross realms and battle cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of the void realm.

Presently, Ding Yue had already broken through the first stage of the way of the sword and forgotten all about his sweetheart.

He no longer missed his childhood sweetheart.

Anyone who thought ill of a person every day, blaming her for his predicament and heaping all sorts of insults on her, was bound to gradually loathe her, stop liking her, and then forget about her. He could now concentrate on the Sword Dao.

At this moment, when he started cultivating the Sword Dao seriously, Ding Yue realized that pining for a woman truly distracted him from cultivating.

He increasingly felt that what his master said was true.

Ding Yue was currently trying to overcome the second stage of the way of the sword, so that he would not be distracted by beautiful women and would only have the soul of the sword in his heart.

However, even up till now, he was still unable to overcome this stage.

When Chu Yun came to the small courtyard, he would take a few glances at her. He clearly did not have any other thoughts in his heart, but he would always subconsciously look at her.

This was especially so when Su Xian'er was with Chu Yun. He would subconsciously look over.

This stage was too difficult!

It was difficult to not be disturbed by external things!

Ding Yue's gaze was resolute. He would definitely overcome this test.

Apart from teaching Ding Yue the Sword Dao, Chu Xuan also taught him concealment techniques. Concealing one's cultivation was, after all, a necessary skill.

He also taught the Immovable Mountain Technique to Ding Yue.

The sword manual he provided to Ding Yue also included cultivation techniques for one's soul. As such, Chu Xuan did not teach him any other soul techniques.

One should not bite off more than he could chew.

Moreover, Ding Yue's terrifying talent was all focused on the way of the sword. In terms of his aptitude for other secret arts, his cultivation was much slower.

Su Xian'er's cultivation speed was also extremely fast. She had the Grand Moon Mystic physique, so when she cultivated the Grand Moon Immortal Spell which was compatible with her physique, her strength would naturally increase by leaps and bounds.

She was now already at the eighth level of the unity realm.

Chu Yun's talent was not poor either, especially when it came to alchemy.

She had already reached the ninth level of the spirit realm. Although she was a lot weaker than Ding Yue, in the entire Southern Region, there were not many who could compare to her.

Moreover, her true talent was actually focused in the field of alchemy.

Chu Yun had already left the Chu family's territory to temper herself.

It had also been a long time since Chu Xuan heard Chu Tianming's roars from the direction of the ancestral residence.

The impending rise of the Chu family probably meant that they were less angry with Chu Yuan.

There did not seem to be many people in the Chu family who still remembered him.

Apart from Chu Yun who came frequently, Chu Qing came to visit a few times and Seventh Brother also came three times.

Other than that, no one else came to visit him.

Chu Xuan was happy to live his life in peace.

The five-year milestone was about to arrive, and Chu Xuan was looking forward to what rewards he would receive.

Nowadays, the rewards that were randomly triggered for his achievements in seclusion were of a very high grade.

Divine-grade treasures rarely appeared.

Most of them were treasures above the divine-grade.

With the support of Chu Xuan's medicinal pills, Du Yuan's strength rose very quickly, and he was now at the peak of the third level of the Supreme realm.

It would not be long before he broke through to the fourth level of the Supreme realm.

After cultivating the Purple Flames Burning Heavens technique, Du Yuan's strength was almost invincible among those of the same level.

Ren Changhe's comprehension of the Yin-yang god Combination Divine Seal had improved quite a bit, and his strength had already taken a step forward.

Although he had not actually reached the divine realm, he was not far from it.

He had now reached the half-step divine realm.

He still remained inside the Fallen God Cave and chose not to leave for the time being.

The aura of death in the Fallen God Cave was still prevalent around the area. However, the stone house where Ren Changhe was located was already showing signs of life.

In fact, due to his increased mastery of the cycle of life and death, the originally lifeless plants around his stone house were exhibiting signs of life and had transformed into special treasures.

These had the miraculous effect of reversing life and death.

Chapter 92: Five-Year Reward, Pocket Dimension

Chu Xuan was regretful that he had not managed to deceive another powerhouse.

Moreover, it had been so long, yet there had not been any new individuals with great luck passing by his courtyard.

What was more unexpected was that, under the Evil King's reorganization, the evil imperial court had unexpectedly become prosperous.

There were actually quite a few evil cultivation geniuses that had emerged, all rising from the bottom rungs among the heretic cultivators.

These geniuses were extremely grateful to the Evil King and were quickly taken in by him as his confidants.

The Evil King did not expect to obtain such an unexpected harvest, so he became even more determined to implement the new laws.

Mo Tuo was still inside the world-cleansing glazed pagoda. Eighty percent of his devil soul had lost its demonic qi.

However, he had still been a Heaven realm expert after all. It would still take some time for him to be fully converted.

Now, Mo Tuo spent less time roaring and more time meditating. Buddhist light surged out of his soul and he would recite Buddhist scriptures.

Chu Xuan was not in a hurry. There was still some time before the Asura Ancient Land opened.

No matter how many factions laid out their plans and how many experts used chess pieces, he would still flip the chessboard with his own plans and actions.

Moreover, he was also laying out his plans. Rather than wanting to achieve anything specific, he just wanted to disrupt the chess game and make it impossible for the experts who carefully laid out their plans to do as they pleased.

The five-year milestone finally arrived.

Chu Xuan was extremely excited as he waited for the system's reward.

It had been five years, so the reward would be very generous, right?

"You've stayed in seclusion for five years and enjoyed yourself while staying home. You've been rewarded with a pocket dimension."

A pocket dimension?

Chu Xuan was stunned, and then ecstatic.

A pocket dimension? This was not something the universe space could compare to.

The universe space was just a space created by array formations. There were no plants, creatures, mountains, or rivers in it.

The pocket dimension was different.

Mountains, rivers, plants, and creatures all existed inside the pocket dimension.

Would there also be humans?

Since it was a pocket dimension that the system rewarded him with, there probably were not any humans inside.

Chu Xuan immediately received the reward.

The pocket dimension was not considered big. It was slightly larger than the Southern Region. There were mountains, rivers, and plants and creatures everywhere.

There were all kinds of cultivation resources, all kinds of rare treasures, medicines, and natural treasures inside. There was no end to these in sight.

Chu Xuan became extremely excited.

"An entrance to the pocket dimension (evolvable) can be opened or closed at any time. Its owner can adjust the time flow inside the pocket dimension to differ from that of the real world…"

Focusing his thoughts, Chu Xuan immediately gained a clear view of the entire pocket dimension.

This was a small world that could evolve.

He checked the relevant information in the description. To evolve the pocket dimension, one needed a spirit vein or Dao verse.

After reading that, Chu Xuan could not help but sigh. He was still too poor. He had no problems raising pets, disciples, and servants, but it seemed like he still could not afford to raise a pocket dimension.

To evolve the pocket dimension, he needed a lot of spirit veins. Even if he plundered all the resources of the entire Southern Region and used them to grow the pocket dimension, it would not be able to evolve much. It seemed that the evolution of this pocket dimension would still have to rely on the system's rewards.

Apart from the fact that the pocket dimension could evolve, Chu Xuan also noticed that he could adjust the time flow within the pocket dimension.

To put it bluntly, he was able to change the flow of time in relation to the time in reality.

For example, if he stayed inside the pocket dimension for a year, only a day would have passed in reality.

However, the time flow difference in the pocket dimension was rather useless for Chu Xuan. After all, even if he stayed inside it for a year, the system would calculate the rewards based on the flow of time in reality.

Currently, the biggest time flow adjustment he could make between the pocket dimension and the real world was one year in the former equating to one day in the latter.

Chu Xuan's first thought was that, with the pocket dimension, he would be able to train strong people in a very short time.

The spiritual power inside the pocket dimension was even richer than in the Southern Region. Of course, the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region had yet to be restored, which resulted in its relatively low amount of spiritual power.

Moreover, cultivation resources were abundant everywhere inside the pocket dimension, and there were countless natural treasures.

Chu Xuan was very excited. Ding Yue and Su Xian'er would be able to advance to the truth realm within a very short time.

Also, to break through to the Emperor realm, one needed a long time to solidify one's foundation before breaking through.

However, with the pocket, the time needed to do that could also be greatly shortened.

Once Ding Yue and Su Xian'er broke through, Chu Xuan would receive a cultivation boost reward.

According to the system's rules, he had to remain in seclusion at home. He would train his disciples or servants, and his cultivation would increase rapidly when one of them broke through to a major realm, he would receive a cultivation boost reward.

When Ding Yue broke through to the void realm, the system rewarded him with ten years' worth of cultivation.

At this moment, Chu Xuan wanted to take in a few more disciples.

However, their levels of talent had to be monstrous enough.

The cultivation boost reward the system gave him also mentioned the criteria for the disciple or servant's cultivation to "increase rapidly". It could be seen that, in order to receive a cultivation boost reward, the disciple or servant's cultivation speed could not be slow.

Chu Xuan looked at the lucky mystic realms in the courtyard. It had been so long. Why had no one with great luck arrived yet?

Should he activate a lucky mystic realm?

Chu Xuan decided to wait a little longer. After obtaining another lucky mystic realm, he would activate one.

He would not activate one in the Southern Region.

The current fated person of the Southern Region, Ding Yue, had already acknowledged him as his teacher. Even if there were other people in the Southern Region with great luck, they could not compare to Ding Yue.

Chu Xuan had yet to make up his mind on the exact location. He would make the decision after he obtained another lucky mystic realm.

He waved his hand and a shimmering door appeared in a corner of the courtyard.

It was the door connecting the pocket dimension to reality.

When the Heavenly Spirit Cat saw it, it looked at Chu Xuan with its cute eyes and meowed.

"Go in."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

The cat's figure flashed as it entered the pocket dimension.

The moment it entered the pocket dimension, its body transformed into a huge fierce tiger.

Roar!

With a roar, the power of the white tiger spread out.

The countless demonic beasts and spiritual birds in the pocket dimension instantly trembled in fear.

The cat was very satisfied.

Crash!

The Sky-shaking Golden Roc also entered the pocket dimension. It spread its wings so wide that they almost seemed to cover the sky. It swooped down and instantly grabbed a truth realm demonic beast and tore it into pieces.

The Spirit Devouring Flower also entered the pocket dimension.

In an instant, an enormous strange-looking tree stood in between the heavens and the earth. The incomparably dazzling flower swayed, causing the surrounding creatures to be hypnotized, after which they all ran up voluntarily to the flower to be devoured.

"Roar!"

On a large mountain in the pocket dimension, a 100-meter-tall giant ape hammered its chest and roared.

The giant ape was an apex predator in the pocket dimension. It was at the fifth level of the Emperor realm!

Its bloodline was not simple either.

There were only seven Emperor realm creatures in the entire pocket dimension.

Although the pocket dimension was only slightly bigger than the Southern Region, one had to know that the Southern Region itself was very vast.

During the ancient war with the demons, the ley lines collapsed and countless places fell disappeared into different spaces and dimensions.

The current Southern Region was almost a million miles measured from the south to the north. Many places were in a desolate state.

There was an enormous tree in the pocket dimension, which was located at the highest peak inside this world.

The enormous tree looked very ordinary. It did not look like a spirit plant or a precious tree at all.

Its name was the ordinary tree.

However, this tree was the most precious treasure inside the pocket dimension.

There was only one unique thing about this tree, which was that it could not be destroyed. Whether it was an emperor-level weapon, a heavenly weapon, or even a divine weapon or Dao artifact, none of them could destroy this tree.

In fact, not even the bark of the tree could be damaged.

However, the name of this tree was the ordinary tree; like its name it looked utterly ordinary.

Chapter 93: Complete Collection Of Delicacies

Apart from being indestructible and unable to be damaged, the ordinary tree did not seem to be of much use.

Although it was sharp, it was unable to damage Dao artifacts, so the ordinary tree could not be used as a weapon.

However, it was still a very rare treasure.

Chu Xuan was actually very concerned about this tree.

After all, it was the most precious treasure in his pocket dimension.

In fact, if it was used properly, the ordinary wood was still very powerful.

Although this tree was thousands of meters tall, it was still a sapling and had not fully grown.

Even though it was just a sapling, it had already awakened the characteristic of being unable to be damaged.

However, for Chu Xuan, it would not be difficult for him to break its branches.

It grew inside the pocket dimension, and Chu Xuan was the master of the pocket dimension, so he had full control over it.

The ordinary tree was part of the reward given by the system in the pocket dimension, so none of its characteristics were effective against Chu Xuan.

"Calm down a little. Stop causing trouble, and work hard to increase your strength."

Chu Xuan remonstrated the Heavenly Spirit Cat, the Sky-shaking Golden Roc, and the Spirit Devouring Flower.

The cat, bird, and tree all stopped fighting. They did not fight with the giant ape, but instead each found a mountain to occupy.

The pocket dimension was rich in resources, and housed countless natural treasures. The spiritual power here was even denser than that of the Southern Region, so the speed of one's cultivation here would be faster.

Chu Xuan summoned Su Xian'er and Ding Yue out of the universe space.

"This place is a pocket dimension. Go inside and cultivate."

Su Xian'er and Ding Yue were shocked.

Looking at the glittering door, they widened their eyes. There was a pocket dimension inside?

Where did this pocket dimension come from?

"Master, this is…"

"You're making a big fuss over nothing. How can you cultivate the Supreme Sword like this? It's just a pocket dimension, and you've already lost your composure. What would you do if a peerless beauty from the ancient or modern times appeared in front of you?"

"The state of mind of young people nowadays is really bad. Cultivate the way of the sword well and strive to break through the three stages as soon as possible." Chu Xuan reprimanded him.

Ding Yue instantly felt extremely ashamed. In the end, his mental state had still been too immature. He had lost his composure so easily.

"Master, you're right!"

Chu Xuan was in a good mood. He also derived pleasure from training his disciple.

"En, go in then. A year inside is a day outside. Strive to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible!"

Ding Yue lost his composure again.

"A year in the pocket dimension is equivalent to a day in reality?"

He was so excited that his face turned red. The pocket dimension was definitely a sacred land for cultivation.

"You lost your composure again?" Chu Xuan reprimanded him again.

"Hehe, Master is right to lecture me."

Ding Yue chuckled and quickly entered the pocket dimension.

Su Xian'er's mouth was wide open, and her face was filled with shock.

She came from the prosperous Central Region, and she was also a descendant of a large family. She was far more knowledgeable than Ding Yue.

It was rumored that there was a type of secret realm in the world where people cultivated for a hundred years but, outside in reality, only a year passed.

There was once a famous expert who had quickly rose to prominence thanks to one of these peerless secret realms.

It was rumored that this type of time secret realms had been left behind by supreme experts. They were extremely rare and hard to come by.

They usually also contained those experts' inheritances.

After someone entered and activated it, the secret realm would disappear once the time was up.

However, this pocket dimension would not disappear.

What was more shocking was that this was not a secret realm, but a pocket dimension!

Exactly how powerful was this Senior?

Su Xian'er had a premonition that she would soon break through to the Emperor realm, or even the Supreme realm.

When that time came, she would return to the Central Region and suppress the Su family, slapping those b*stards on the face.

Those who had mocked her, looked down on her, and humiliated her would all be killed!

When that time came, those b*stards who secretly coveted her beauty and had evil intentions about her would all be killed!

That detestable sister of hers had actually married her to that disgusting fellow. After she returned, she would marry her sister to a beggar!

Then she would force that disgusting fellow who wanted to marry her back then to marry an ugly freak. Thinking back to that time, she felt so disgusted!

The more Su Xian'er thought about it, the more excited she became. She could not wait to return to the Central Region to take revenge!

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. What was this girl doing?

Was she dreaming of rising up and killing everyone?

"Stop daydreaming. Go inside and roast a sheep for me."

Su Xian'er blushed and said coquettishly, "Sir, I still need to cultivate. Can you roast the sheep later?"

Chu Xuan ignored her coquettish remark. "I think you'd better return to the universe space and stay there."

"I'll roast, I'll roast it right away."

Su Xian'er looked at Chu Xuan with a bitter expression.

Senior did not show any mercy at all!

She hurriedly entered the pocket dimension and saw that, not far away, a sheep was eating grass. She lashed out with her whip.

"Baa!"

The sheep lowered its head. Its horns shot out two bolts of lightning towards her long whip.

Su Xian'er was shocked. A random grass-eating sheep actually had the strength of a unity realm cultivator?

After exerting quite a bit of effort, the sheep was finally slaughtered and roasted. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The fragrance assailed her nostrils.

Su Xian'er could not help but tear off a piece of mutton, stuffing it into her mouth.

Hiss!

It was too delicious. It was much more delicious than the demonic beast meat of the Southern Region.

Moreover, the spiritual power contained within was even more dense and pure.

She took the roasted sheep out of the pocket dimension and placed it on the table in front of her before moving to return to the pocket dimension.

Due to the time flow difference, only a short time had passed since Su Xian'er entered, caught the sheep, and roasted it.

"Have you forgotten your duties?"

Chu Xuan glanced at her. "How can you comprehend the Great Dao if you're so impatient? One's state of mind is the foundation of comprehending the Great Dao. Sit down and slice the meat."

Su Xian'er took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and then sat down beside Chu Xuan.

"Sir, you are right."

She took out a small knife and cut off a small piece of meat. Her tender white fingers pinched the piece of meat and fed it to Chu Xuan's mouth.

"This is what life should be all about!"

Chu Xuan swallowed the meat Su Xian'er handed to him and sighed.

"You are enjoying the comfortable time at home. You can also enjoy the luxuries of home after comprehending it. You have been rewarded with the complete collection of delicacies and the time illusion technique."

A random reward from the system was triggered.

Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He swallowed the mutton that Su Xian'er handed him and waved her off.

Su Xian'er ran into the pocket dimension excitedly.

He first examined the complete collection of delicacies.

Inside the complete collection of delicacies were all sorts of materials and recipes for the delicacies of this world, as well as the methods of cooking them.

These delicacies were made with top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

One had to know that many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were very delicious. Even the rare delicacies in the world were also rare treasures.

In the complete collection of delicacies, aside from the materials and recipes, there were also seeds that could be cultivated.

Chu Xuan called Su Xian'er out.

"Sir."

Su Xian'er had a wronged expression on her face. Why did he call her for everything? Ding Yue was his disciple, so it was only right for him to serve Sir.

"Plant all of these in the pocket dimension. Also, learn how to cook these recipes."

Chu Xuan handed all the items in the complete collection of delicacies to Su Xian'er.

As a servant, she would be unqualified if she did not know how to cook.

"Okay."

Su Xian'er took the complete collection of delicacies and entered the pocket dimension once more.

When she opened it, she was stunned.

There were countless rare and legendary treasures inside.

There were also countless rare and precious treasures that she did not know about or had never heard of.

She looked at the matching recipes and was stunned. These recipes were not simple.

They recorded everything from the processing of the materials to the matching of all kinds of rare treasures with each other, as well as how to fully bring out their effects and flavors.

If she stewed a pot of these rare dishes every day, she would break through to the truth realm in no time at all!

Report chapter

Chapter 94: Powerful Time Illusion Technique

Su Xian'er immediately began to prepare a pot of rare and precious delicacies.

She pulled Ding Yue over to do the hard work.

There were many recipes, so Su Xian'er chose the simplest one to start with.

Moreover, many of the rare and precious treasures inside were too high-level and could not be eaten yet given her low cultivation level.

Therefore, she had to specially choose the rare and precious treasures that were of a level that her cultivation level could withstand to cook.

The seeds inside were distributed to be planted.

Moreover, she had the Sky-shaking Golden Roc and the Spirit Devouring Flower watch over them.

As for the Heavenly Spirit Cat, it would act cute. Su Xian'er loved it more, so she did not ask it to do any hard work.

In fact, there was no need to watch over the seeds planted in the pocket dimension. The local creatures in the pocket dimension would not destroy the rare seeds.

After all, they were Chu Xuan's belongings. Without his permission, those creatures would not dare to destroy them.

After Chu Xuan finished examining the complete collection of delicacies and sent Su Xian'er away with it, he could not wait to examine the time illusion technique.

"The time illusion technique is derived from the Great Dao of time. The user can stay in the Great Dao of time, leaving an illusion in reality, and can also use the illusion to communicate with reality…"

After reading through the information about the time illusion technique, Chu Xuan took a deep breath. It was too powerful.

What did it mean to live in the Great Dao of time and use the illusion to communicate with reality?

It meant that no one could hurt him, unless one could slash through time itself.

He would be able to live in the past, present or future.

For example, his body could exist in time three seconds ago and leave an illusion in the present.

No attack would be able to reach Chu Xuan.

This would be because Chu Xuan's body existed in the past, so no matter how powerful the attack was, it would not be able to touch him.

It was impossible for the attack to reach the past. Since he was not in the present, he naturally would not be affected by the attack.

It could be said that Chu Xuan would truly be undefeatable after mastering the time illusion technique.

Unless of course the other party could slash into the future or the past.

However, this was not something that a Heaven realm expert could do.

Even a Divine realm expert could not do it.

The time illusion technique was derived from the Great Dao of time.

Chu Xuan's heart began beating violently. This time, the system reward that he had accidentally triggered was too surprising.

As expected, the rewards that he had accidentally triggered did not follow the rules.

Given Chu Xuan's current strength, he should not be able to obtain a high-level reward such as a Great Dao technique.

Only by accidentally triggering it would he be able to obtain such high-level rewards.

He then chose to receive the reward.

A hazy light enveloped Chu Xuan, causing him to fall into a mysterious state.

His body swayed, as if he had already left the present, leaving only an illusion in reality.

It was called an illusion, but in reality, it was no different from a real person.

A day soon passed.

During this time, Su Xian'er came out and saw that Chu Xuan was resting with his eyes closed. He did not seem to want her to brief him about the happenings in the Southern Region, so she happily went back to the pocket dimension to cultivate.

She naturally did not notice that Chu Xuan was in a state of enlightenment.

While in the state of enlightenment, Chu Xuan would not be disturbed by external things, so he remained under the protection of the system.

It was not the first time Su Xian'er saw Chu Xuan resting with his eyes closed like this, so the moment she saw Chu Xuan in this state, she happily went back to the pocket dimension to cultivate.

Three days had passed before Chu Xuan woke up from the state of enlightenment.

This was the longest period of enlightenment he had ever undergone due to the instigation of the system.

From this, one could tell just how profound and powerful the time illusion technique was.

Chu Xuan's thoughts were stirred, and his body instantly entered the Great Dao of time, leaving behind an illusion in the present.

The illusion was no different from his actual self in real life. He could also come into contact with everything in reality through the illusion, and the illusion could even act in his place in reality.

However, after performing the time illusion technique for one or two seconds, Chu Xuan felt as if his entire body was about to collapse.

His divine soul felt exhausted.

He hurriedly took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it to recover.

The time illusion technique was indeed powerful, but the spiritual power consumption was also extremely high.

The burden the technique placed on the user's divine soul was especially terrifying.

With Chu Xuan's cultivation at the fourth level of the Supreme realm, and the strength of his divine soul which had far surpassed the Supreme realm, he could only sustain it for one or two seconds.

At the moment, the time illusion technique could not make Chu Xuan invincible. He could only use it to avoid life-threatening attacks at critical moments.

If he used the time illusion technique to deal with a strong enemy, it would only drag him down. After all, he could only maintain it for a short time, and it would drain nearly all of his spiritual power and will.

"I need to at least be in the Heaven realm to be able to turn defeat into victory and surprise a strong enemy with this technique."

"It's still too difficult to use the time illusion technique in the Supreme realm."

Chu Xuan was very clear that the power of the time illusion technique was not something that a Supreme realm could use.

As it was a reward from the system, he had completely mastered the technique with the system's aid.

This was why it was possible to use it even though he had not reached the Heaven realm.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even Divine realm cultivators would not be able to use it.

Chu Xuan had comprehended the time illusion technique, a Great Dao technique. Although he could not use it properly now, he could still try to create a low-level version of the technique.

For example, how to make his attacks faster within his domain, or how to slow down the enemy's attacks, and so on.

Chu Xuan decided to give it a try. Creating a low-level version of the time-related secret technique should not be too big of a problem.

For example, he could create a Heaven and Earth minor technique.

Chu Xuan did it as soon as he thought of it. He began to think about how he could make slight changes in time within his domain.

For example, he could speed up his attacks, slow down the enemy's attacks, and even freeze the enemy for an instant.

The power of the domain was based on the laws, and the process of improving one's domain involved constantly perfecting these laws.

He could view the domain as a miniature world that he had constructed, and he was the ruler of this miniature world.

Within one's own domain, it did not seem difficult to disrupt the flow of time for a brief instant.

In battles between experts at the Emperor realm and above, the collision of domains was extremely crucial. Whoever's domain overpowered the other party's would obtain the final victory.

In addition, the types of domains and ways people used them were different.

What Chu Xuan needed to do was to slow down the opponent's attacks while simultaneously speeding his own attacks.

In fact, he could even disrupt the time inside his opponent's domain, which would throw them off their rhythm.

Creating such a powerful secret art was much more difficult than creating a normal minor art of Heaven and Earth.

Chu Xuan gave Su Xian'er a few days off so that she would not disturb him.

This was the first time Chu Xuan had truly devoted himself to researching a secret art.

For the first time, he frowned and thought hard about it, and he kept trying.

Occasionally, there would be a wave of profound fluctuations undulating around Chu Xuan's body. After a few days of hard thinking, he had finally gained some insights.

However, he still needed to test things out.

Therefore, he called out the Heavenly Spirit Cat and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc.

He instructed the two pets to use their domain powers to fight against him.

Chu Xuan suppressed his cultivation to the Emperor realm.

The Heaven Spirit Cat's domain revolved around the concepts of lightness and agility. It mainly contained a type of space attribute which gave it the ability to travel at an extremely fast speed.

The Sky-shaking Golden Roc's domain was majestic and heavy, yet it also had the ability to travel at an extremely fast speed.

Chapter 95: Time Vessel

After a few days of trial and error, Chu Xuan finally figured out how to use the time technique to influence the enemy within his domain.

The Heavenly Spirit Cat's domain was activated, and it pounced forward at an extremely fast speed. With a wave of its small claw, one could already see a barrage of claw marks.

The Sky-shaking Golden Roc spread its wings, and sharp golden light flew out like a blade, piercing through Heaven and Earth to attack Chu Xuan.

This battle took place within the universe space. If it was in a small courtyard, the entirety of the Chu family's territory would have disappeared from the attacks.

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed, and a mysterious light appeared around his body as he flashed over to the Heavenly Spirit Cat.

The cat, which was originally pouncing over at high speed, seemed to have been affected by some kind of law of time. Its body actually paused for a moment, and its attack also likewise paused.

Within that brief moment, Chu Xuan's hand wrapped itself around the cat's neck.

A mysterious light once again appeared, flashing past the golden blade that the Sky-shaking Golden Roc had shot forth. The blade, which originally seemed to be cutting through Heaven and Earth, paused for a moment.

By this time, Chu Xuan had already dodged the attack. The mysterious light once again appeared, flashing as it shot itself into the Sky-shaking Golden Roc's body, causing it to also pause for a moment.

At this moment, the victor was decided.

The Heavenly Spirit Cat and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc stared at Chu Xuan in shock.

One had to know that Chu Xuan had suppressed his cultivation to the first level of the Emperor realm, yet he had easily captured them.

The mysterious light was especially strange.

It seemed to be able to affect time?

This was not a power that could be used by an Emperor realm cultivator!

"Haha, I'm indeed the most talented person in the world!"

Chu Xuan was extremely excited.

He originally wanted to create a minor technique, but in the end he created the foundation of what would be a grand technique. Once his cultivation increased, this grand technique would be no weaker than the time illusion technique.

Currently, although it was only a minor technique and could only be used inside his own doman, it formed the foundation of the time-based grand technique, so it had a lot of room for growth.

Time Theft!

Chu Xuan named it theTime Theft technique, as it stole the enemy's time!

"You have createdand comprehended the foundation of a time-based grand technique. You have proven the wisdom and intelligence of a home-bound otaku, and have been rewarded with the time vessel."

What a pleasant surprise, the system had actually come out to reward him again.

Moreover, the system had also recognized his creation as the foundation of a time-based grand technique. From this, it could be seen that this secret art that he had created possessed endless potential and could directly lead its user toward the Great Dao of time.

He then examined the time vessel that the system had rewarded him with.

It was a small crystal-clear and gorgeous boat that did not seem to exist in reality. It looked ethereal and exuded a hallucinatory vibe.

"The time vessel is a time-based treasure. It can wander in the long river of time unaffected by the erosion of time…"

Hiss!

This was a super awesome treasure.

Chu Xuan was excited. A treasure that could wander in the long river of time probably did not exist in the nine zones and fifty regions.

However, to Chu Xuan, the time vessel was not of much use at the moment.

He could not go to the river of time either.

His cultivation realm was far too low. Visiting the river of time required an extremely high cultivation realm.

Even though he had mastered the time illusion technique and created the Time Theft technique, he still could not comprehend the river of time.

Still, a treasure like the time vessel would eventually come in handy one day.

Chu Xuan was fascinated by the thought of one day sailing on an ethereal boat and wandering the river of time.

That was the image of a true immortal in his heart, and the goal that he pursued.

After creating the time-based secret technique, Chu Xuan returned to his previous state.

The Heavenly Spirit Cat and the Sky-shaking Golden Roc returned to the pocket dimension to continue their cultivation.

Su Xian'er also went back to her normal routine. Every day, she would organize the information sent over by the Black Moon Tower and would brief Chu Xuan on whatever she found relevant or interesting.

Ding Yue was cultivating in seclusion in the pocket dimension. He was trying his best to break through the second stage of the way of the sword while comprehending the Heaven-reaching sword technique.

He would only leave the pocket dimension to ask Chu Xuan questions about parts of the cultivation technique that he did not understand.

Su Xian'er, on the other hand, needed to find enough time to organize the information from the Black Moon Tower for Chu Xuan and brief him, but also cook delicacies.

Looking at Su Xian'er, Chu Xuan made an exception and allowed her to enter a period of closed-door cultivation to break through. He was looking forward to the cultivation boost reward that the system would provide after she broke through.

Ding Yue was also about to break through to the unity realm.

After all, he had been cultivating inside the pocket dimension for several years.

The pocket dimension was like a cheat-code when it came to training disciples.

A hundred-year Emperor realm expert would be born in only a hundred days.

Of course, despite spending a hundred years in a pocket dimension, it was actually impossible to break through to the Emperor realm so quickly. It would take a longer time for them to comprehend and consolidate their foundations.

Chu Xuan was eager to take in a few more talented disciples to help him improve his strength quickly.

However, the matter of taking in disciples could not be rushed. If one was not a peerless heaven's blessed, Chu Xuan would not even bother to take a look. The cultivation speed of ordinary disciples was too slow. Not only would he not obtain the cultivation boost reward from the system, but he would also have to waste resources training them.

Great Yan County, Great Qin Dynasty.

Chu Yun had arrived at the territory of Great Yan County, and was searching for spirit herbs on a huge mountain.

Suddenly, two figures walked over from afar.

One of them was dressed in black, whose body exuded an evil aura. He was a heretic cultivator.

She immediately became vigilant.

However, she was not afraid.

She had the secret protection of an expert of the truth realm behind her.

The Chu family originally wanted to send out a unity realm family elder to protect her, but after learning that Chu Yun had the secret protection of an expert of the truth realm, they did not arrange for an expert to follow her around.

The little evil king waved the folding fan in his hand in a very flirtatious manner. His slightly pale face exuded a demonic charm.

The ruthless little evil king had always been known for being cruel and abnormal.

In the evil imperial court, he was an exception.

He was also the only evil king candidate in the line of evil kings who did not practice evil techniques.

If he successfully became the next evil king, then he would become the only evil king in the history of the evil imperial court who did not practice evil techniques.

Although the little evil king was not an evil cultivator, in terms of ruthlessness, cruelty, and perversion, countless evil cultivators could not hold a candle to him.

Seeing Chu Yun picking spirit herbs from afar, the protector of the little evil king, Wang Hang, could not help but feel pity for this little girl Chu Yun.

Meeting the little evil king was bad luck.

The little evil king's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward.

"Greetings, little girl!"

He cupped his hands and bowed in a scholarly manner.

Wang Hang was stunned. What was going on? When did the little evil king become so easy to talk to and accommodating?

Could it be that he was trying out a new trick?

Chu Yun frowned. The little evil king did not give off good vibes. Although he did not cultivate evil techniques, he was still evil.

He had a bewitching smile on his face.

Even though he tried his best to pretend to be gentle, he still could not change his bewitching temperament.

It was obvious that he was not a good person.

Chu Yun put the spiritual medicine into her storage bag and turned around to leave. She did not have the slightest intention of interacting with the little evil king.

Wang Hang gave Chu Yun a pitying look. If she ignored the little evil king like that, she would definitely end up in a miserable state.

The little evil king's figure flashed, and he blocked Chu Yun's path.

He tidied up his clothes and put a devilish smile on his face. He bowed again in a scholarly manner and said, "Miss, I am being very polite."

There must be something wrong with this person's brain.

"Move aside, I don't have time to deal with you!"

Chu Yun glared at him.

"Miss, please!"

The little evil king moved aside and made a pleasant gesture.

Wang Hang was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did the little evil king change his ways?

Report chapter

Chapter 96: My Name Is Wang Luo And I Am An Alchemist

"From today onward, I want to be a pure and kind person!"

The little evil king looked at Chu Yun's retreating back and said with a serious face.

Wang Hang: ???

The vicious and merciless little evil king actually wanted to be a kind person. Wang Hang wondered if his ears had stopped working.

"Let's go."

The little evil king followed behind Chu Yun. Every time Chu Yun was about to pick spirit herbs, he would rush up immediately to court her.

Wang Hang felt that the world had changed.

The little evil king was actually trying to court a woman.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"My heart was moved. The moment I saw her, my heart was moved."

...

The little evil king said with a sigh.

Wang Hang felt that there was something wrong with the little evil king's brain. How could this savage fellow fall in love with a woman?

One had to know that he had torn up countless beautiful women and scattered their flesh and blood into his courtyard pond to feed the fishes.

A pervert who had a vicious hobby and had killed countless women suddenly said that he had fallen in love with a certain woman.

He had fallen in love with a certain woman…

Other than there being a problem with his brain, there was no other possible explanation.

Wang Hang sighed. The little evil king, who was always saying that cultivating evil techniques would easily cause problems with one's brain, had ended up with a problem with his brain instead.

"Miss, I'm really a good person. You have to believe me."

"Miss, you're an alchemist, right? I have spirit herbs here, I'll give them all to you…"

Watching the little evil king running around Chu Yun, Wang Hang decided that he should not follow him openly. If one day, the little evil king felt that he was an eyesore, it would not be easy for him to escape punishment.

Chu Xuan looked at the intelligence report in his hands. His mind was filled with question marks.

Was the little evil king not rumored to be an extremely savage and perverted fellow?

How could a person who tore delicate ladies apart little by little to feed the fishes be normal?

Why was he like a puppy seeking attention next to Chu Yun?

Was there something wrong with his brain?

Should he get someone to expel him from Chu Yun's side?

Chu Yun would not fall for such a guy. Was she afraid that he had ill intentions?

On second thought, so what if the little evil king had ill intentions?

He had not even reached the Emperor realm, so what could he accomplish?

The emperor-level weapon in Chu Yun's body contained a strand of his power. Moreover, the emperor-level weapon had a certain degree of spirituality and would automatically protect her.

Chu Xuan asked the Black Moon Tower to reveal the little evil king's identity to Chu Yun and he did not interfere further.

Chu Yun was no longer a child, and she would have her own ways of dealing with things.

Outside Chu County.

The figure of a dejected youth could be seen slowly walking.

His face was dirty and downcast. There were still some traces of blood on his tattered clothes.

Dejected and disheveled aptly described his appearance.

He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his eyes were filled with a determined and unyielding expression.

His strength was nothing worth shouting about. He had only reached the sixth level of the profound realm.

Given his age, cultivating to the sixth level of the profound realm was not considered bad in the Southern Region.

"This is Chu County, the territory of the Chu family, and its position in the state of Qin is rather special," The youth muttered to himself.

"What I lack now are spiritual medicines and pill refinement resources. If I can think of a way to join the Chu family, I should be able to gain their attention."

"The Southern Region is barren, and the only pill refining sect, the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, has a rather complicated background. It's not suitable for me. The Chu family controls Chu County, so they don't lack resources."

"If I join the Chu family, I will definitely be able to earn their attention. With my pill refinement capabilities, they will be able to raise their strength quickly, and they will also be able to rely on these pills to obtain more resources."

"Furthermore, they will be able to raise their level of influence in the Great Qin Dynasty."

The young man made his decision. He headed towards a city in Chu County and went straight to the City Lord's Manor.

"My name is Wang Luo, and I am an alchemist. I wish to meet the city lord."

The city lords of every city in Chu County were all members of the Chu clan.

The guards of the city lord's manor frowned when they saw this dirty and down-and-out young man.

He called himself an alchemist? They did not believe him at all.

If he really was an alchemist, why would he be in such a state?

Moreover, the Chu family already had a genius alchemist, Miss Chu Yun. They did not need any external alchemists.

The Chu family itself was also nurturing alchemists. They had already nurtured quite a number of alchemists who had become proficient in basic alchemy.

Because of that, the number of pills in the Chu family had increased, and the treatment of the guards of the Chu family had also become better.

Although the guards looked down on Wang Luo in their hearts, they did not directly expel him. They were just guards, so they could not bear the responsibility of expelling an alchemist.

Therefore, the first thing they did was to report this to the steward of the city lord's manor.

"Wait a moment."

When the steward of the city lord's manor heard this, he walked out and immediately frowned.

"You are an alchemist?"

"Yes, I can refine spirit pills. The refining success rate of my spirit pills is around 15%," Wang Luo said proudly.

To the Wang family of the Northern Region, he was a good-for-nothing, an abandoned child who had been banished.

In a barren land like the Southern Region, however, especially to a small family like the Chu family, he would definitely be seen as a pill refining genius.

He was only 16 years old this year.

The steward's face was full of disbelief, even though he felt that no one would dare to deceive the Chu family.

Just seeing Wang Luo's dirty appearance greatly reduced his impression of him. He did not have a good first impression of this youth.

If things had been the same as they had been in the past, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, he would have reported it to the city lord immediately and verified the authenticity of the youth's claims.

However, the current Chu family did not need to anymore.

With the pill refining genius Miss Chu Yun around, the Chu family did not need to pay too much attention to external alchemists anymore. In fact, they might even have to guard against the other party stealing the pill refining techniques and pill formulas of the Chu family.

Currently, under Miss Chu Yun's guidance, there were as many as three members of the Chu family who were able to refine spirit pills. Furthermore, the success rate of refining ordinary pills was 60%, while the success rate for refining high-quality ones was 30% .

The rest of the people who mastered basic alchemy skills numbered more than 30 people. They were able to easily refine profound pills, and their success rate of refining spirit pills was between 10% to 20% .

The nephew of one of his old brothers was recruited into the Chu family's pill refining division because he had the talent to refine pills.

Moreover, his relationship with a young miss of the Chu family's extended family was also recognized. It could be said that his future was now boundless.

"Seeing that you're quite down and out, take these few spirit crystals. Hopefully they will help you get by. Young man, you should leave."

After saying that, the steward threw a few crystals to Wang Luo and waved his hand.

"You!"

Wang Luo was stunned, and then became furious.

He took a deep breath and did not pick up the crystals on the ground. Instead, he turned around and left for the next city.

Just like that, Wang Luo went to a few cities in a row, but was refused every single time. He did not even get the chance to show off.

"The Chu family looks down on others!"

Wang Luo felt extremely humiliated.

However, when he thought about how he had not even met a single person in charge of the Chu family, he felt a sense of unwillingness. Other than the Chu family, he could not think of any other faction that was more suitable for him to join.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Luo headed straight for the Chu family's territory.

He had already thought it through. After meeting the person-in-charge, he would refine a cauldron of medicinal pills on the spot, shocking the Chu family bumpkins.

Wang Luo could not help but imagine the expressions of Chu family members who would see him refine those medicinal pills. Their faces would be filled with shock and joy as they welcomed him in, treating him as a distinguished guest.

The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He was born in the Wang family of the Northern Region's alchemy aristocratic family. Although he was regarded as a good-for-nothing and banished, his origins were not something that a small family from the Southern Region could look down upon.

Report chapter

Chapter 97: Mental State Collapse

Wang Luo rushed to the Chu family's territory without stopping.

"My name is Wang Luo and I am an alchemist. I am seeking refuge with the Chu family. Please inform them," Wang Luo spoke with a hint of arrogance.

The guard looked at the dirty and downtrodden youth in front of him and was incomparably astonished. This person was actually an alchemist?

Moreover, he had come to seek refuge with the Chu family?

His eyes were filled with doubt.

Chu Yun's status as a genius alchemist was no longer a secret among the Chu family members. She had even nurtured the Chu family's pill refining division.

The Chu family was relying on pill refining to raise their status in the Great Qin Dynasty, squeezing out the He clan, which had always been skilled in pill refinement.

In order to become the Great Qin Dynasty's pill refining pillar, this matter was extremely important.

An external alchemist was now seeking refuge with them?

Could this person be a swindler?

...

Logically speaking, no one would dare to deceive the Chu family like this. After all, their pill refinement skill would be evident after a single experiment.

However, in this world, anything could happen.

No matter how inconceivable it was, no matter how brainless the matter seemed, it was possible for it to happen. After all, there were too many people in this world, and there would always be some nutcases out there.

Wang Luo saw the doubt in the guard's eyes and sneered in his heart. I'll give you a big surprise later.

He deliberately did not change his appearance and still looked down and out. It was all for the sake of successfully refining the pill that would shock the Chu family.

He took out the pill furnace and took out a few stalks of spirit herbs.

A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. These were the last few spirit herbs he had.

His spiritual power stimulated the fire crystal stone, and flames gushed out. With a focused expression, he began to refine the medicinal pills.

He wanted to refine a bottle of spirit pills!

A guard hurriedly left to report.

Not long after, Chu Tianming and the higher-ups of the Chu family arrived.

This group included a few people from the Chu family's pill refining division.

The Chu family's pill refining division had searched the entire Chu County before selecting people with pill refining talent.

Including the direct descendants of the Chu family, there were only about thirty people in total in the division.

From this, it could be seen just how scarce people with pill refining talent were.

Under Chu Yun's guidance and training, they had already grasped basic pill refining techniques and were able to refine profound pills and spirit pills.

If they wanted to advance further, they would need to accumulate experience. It was impossible to do so in a short period of time.

Even so, by relying on the pill formulas left behind by Chu Yun, the Chu family's pill refining division had managed to refine enough profound pills and spirit pills to raise the overall strength of their guards by one level.

Furthermore, by selling these pills, they had been able to obtain even more resources.

The Chu family's rise was inevitable.

When they heard that there was a young man who claimed to be an alchemist seeking refuge with the Chu family, Chu Tianming and the others were curious and came over to spectate.

When Wang Luo saw so many people spectating, the corners of his mouth curled up. It was finally time for him to perform.

They were all here to be shocked.

He envisioned the Chu family's upper echelons treating him as a distinguished guest and welcoming him into the ancestral residence.

He was already thinking about what conditions he should bring up. First of all, a steady supply of pill refinement materials was indispensable.

The Chu family would have to gather the required materials for him. Once the materials were gathered and his body's flaws were resolved, he would soar into the heavens.

The Wang family of the Northern Region was waiting to be trampled under his feet!

Wang Luo was in a good mood, but his expression remained very focused as he began to refine the pill.

At the beginning, it proceeded very smoothly.

However, when it came to the final stages of pill refinement, Wang Luo's chest started feeling stuffy, and his meridians started throbbing in pain. His spiritual energy was not circulating smoothly. His body seemed to be missing something, and he could not continue refining the pill according to his expectations.

"Damn it! It's happening again!"

His face was flushed red, and beads of sweat kept dripping down.

Wang Luo gritted his teeth and continued to persevere. At the same time, he adjusted his pill refinement technique.

He moved from the more advanced pill refinement technique to a more ordinary pill refinement technique.

Huff… huff…

He could not help but start to pant.

"Hold it in. I must not fail!"

Wang Luo gritted his teeth and persevered, ignoring the intense pain in his body.

It was precisely because of these unknown flaws in his body that Wang Luo's success rate in refining pills was not high. Furthermore, he was unable to use any brilliant pill refinement techniques.

His understanding of the Dao of alchemy was clearly comparable to that of a master, and he had even figured out a pill refinement path that belonged solely to him.

However, due to the unknown flaws in his body, all these kinds of brilliant pill refinement techniques were unable to be used.

Furthermore, his pill refinement process could not be extended past a certain length.

In the Wang family, he had always been regarded as trash.

Furthermore, he had been defeated by a pawn in a pill battle and humiliated by the members of the Wang family.

His original marriage engagement was also canceled.

He was regarded as a disgrace by the Wang family and was directly expelled.

'Must hold on!'

Wang Luo's eyes were red. He endured the burning pain in his body and methodically used his alchemy techniques.

This batch of spirit pills would definitely succeed!

He had persevered until now with his strong will. There was no problem with the completion of the pill.

Moreover, there might be one or two high-quality pills!

Right at this moment, among the surrounding Chu family members, a direct descendant of the Chu family in the pill refining division shook his head and said, "His alchemy ability is rubbish. It's just a batch of spirit pills. Is there a need to work so hard?"

"Look at him. His face and eyes are red. He's clearly reaching his limit. He's forcing himself!"

"Right. If it were me, even if I didn't succeed, my face wouldn't be so red and I wouldn't be panting like an ox. This won't do. His endurance is too poor," another member of the pill refining division chimed in.

"Yeah, his endurance isn't good. His alchemy path has actually reached its peak. There's no value in cultivating him!"

The remaining members of the pill refining division echoed their sentiments.

Chu Tianming seemed to be deep in thought as he said, "So you're saying that he's a pill refining trash?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Although he's young, from the amount of potential talent he's exhibiting, I can tell that he's already reached his peak. It's impossible for him to advance any further."

"There's no doubt that he's a piece of trash. He probably thinks that the Chu family is gullible. He even came here to show off his half-baked skills!"

Peng!

The pill furnace exploded.

Pu!

Wang Luo spat out a mouthful of blood.

His state of mind had collapsed!

The sound of people around him shaking their heads and sighing, mocking, and poking fun at him pierced into his heart like a bayonet.

In the Wang family of the Northern Region, he was regarded as a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

He had originally thought that he would be able to show off his might once he came to the small Chu family in the barren Southern Region.

In the end, he was still ridiculed as a good-for-nothing piece of trash!

He had been about to successfully refine the spirit pills, but his disordered mental state threw his spiritual power into disorder. The pill furnace instantly exploded.

The pill refining was ruined!

Bang!

Wang Luo collapsed to the ground. His eyes stared at the sky lifelessly.

At this moment, he wanted to cry.

Why did the heavens have to torture him like this?

He had top-notch talent when it came to pill refining, but also a body with unknown flaws, which resulted in his inability to display his talent.

"Too pitiful."

The members of the Chu family's pill refining division shook their heads and sighed.

The branch family members of the Chu family, who had a thirty percent success rate when it came to refining spirit pills, walked out, took out the pill furnace, and poured in some spirit herbs.

"Kid, look. The pill refinement process should be done this way. Your technique is too bad. Your process isn't stable, and your endurance isn't good either."

He could finally teach others, so he took this chance to show off.

When he was faced with Chu Yun, he felt that he was a wastrel.

However, in front of Wang Luo, he instantly felt that he was a genius.

An hour later, a batch of spirit pills was produced.

"Did you see that? That's how the pills are refined!"

Pu!

Wang Luo spat out another mouthful of blood. Looking at the smooth process of refining pills, he realized that what he had done just now was akin to clowning around!

Report chapter

Chapter 98: Innate Pill Meridians

Wang Luo's face was ashen as he lay on the ground. He felt that his life no longer held any meaning.

Even a small family in such a barren land like the Southern Region could step on him and rub his face on the ground. He even felt that he was truly a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

Although the Wang family of the Northern Region was an aristocratic clan with a long history of studying the Dao of alchemy, they did not know how to solve the inexplicable defects in his body.

He was destined to be reduced to a poor abandoned child, a small pawn among the common people.

Wang Luo was confused.

He did not know where he should go or how he could resolve the inexplicable defects in his body.

Even a small family like the Chu family did not value his talent or potential. He did not have the qualifications to seek refuge with a bigger family, or even an alchemy sect.

"Sigh, it looks like life has not been easy for you. I'll give you these 10,000 crystals."

Looking at the desolate young man who was lying on the ground with a hopeless expression, Chu Tianming sighed.

Life was not easy for this young man.

...

He had only learned some half-baked skills, yet he had tried to come here to cheat others out of a living.

If he had appeared a few years earlier while Chu Yun was still secretly studying alchemy, the Chu family might have really valued him and given him preferential treatment.

Looking at Wang Luo's downtrodden appearance, Chu Tianming shook his head. He did not plan to pursue the matter of him coming here to cheat them.

He instead gave him some money. If he were to rise up one day, he would at least remember the good deeds of the Chu family.

10,000 crystals was but a pittance to the current Chu family.

The storage bag containing 10,000 crystals was placed next to Wang Luo's body, and Chu Tianming and the others left.

Wang Luo lay on the ground, tears of sorrow flowing down from his reddened eyes.

"I'm a good-for-nothing piece of trash. So I'm really a good-for-nothing piece of trash!"

Even if he was expelled by the Wang family and had his marriage engagement broken off by a small family, his arrogance and pride had not diminished in the slightest. He firmly believed that he could rise up.

He wanted to become a world-renowned expert in the Dao of alchemy.

He wanted to make the Wang family regret their actions. He wanted to make the people who broke off the marriage engagement feel endless regret!

In the end, Wang Luo discovered that he was really a good-for-nothing piece of trash. His dreams of ascension were nothing more than self-deception.

Seeing Wang Luo lying on the ground with a deathly pale expression and not moving at all, a nearby guard felt speechless.

"Get up. Compared to the chosen ones of the Chu family, you might be a good-for-nothing piece of trash, but there are many more out there who are in worse situations."

"If your talent in pill refinement isn't good enough, then don't refine pills. How old are you? You're already at the sixth level of the profound realm at your age. Your talent is much higher than mine, so what's there to be upset about?"

Wang Luo felt even more bitterness in his heart when he heard this. How could a mere guard understand his ambitions?

He staggered to his feet and looked at the bag of spirit crystals. After hesitating for a moment, he took the bag.

Had it been his previous self, he would not have accepted it. His pride made it impossible for him to accept the charity of others.

However, now that he had realized that he was just a good-for-nothing piece of trash, what was the point of being prideful?

He was practically penniless. This was not the time to be arrogant.

Wang Luo staggered away. His eyes were lifeless and aimless.

When the guard saw Wang Luo leaving, he opened his mouth to remind him, but he eventually shook his head and stayed silent instead.

A mere sixth level profound stage martial artist would not be able to stir up any waves in the Chu family's territory. Moreover, he was not headed toward the core area of the Chu family's territory, but the outskirts.

Naturally, what happened in the Chu family's territory did not escape Chu Xuan's attention.

The kid had been slapped in the face instead of succeeding in a cool fashion.

After such a long time had passed, a person with great luck had finally arrived.

Chu Xuan calmly waited as he watched Wang Luo stumble over to the small courtyard.

His second disciple was here.

The Heaven's Secrets Origin probing technique was used, revealing Wang Luo's origins.

Chu Xuan was speechless. Why were all the fated persons abandoned by their families?

On second thought, perhaps it was due to their status as fated persons. The family he belonged to did not have enough resources and could not bear his fate, resulting in him becoming an abandoned child who was expelled.

"Wang Luo is the fated person of the current generation of the Northern Region and the illegitimate son of the Wang family, an aristocratic family specializing in the Dao of alchemy. He was born with pill meridians, and has extremely high talent in the Dao of alchemy. When he was young, he was attacked by an evil person, and his pill meridians were accidentally severed."

Wang Luo was born with pill meridians, and his talent in the Dao of Alchemy was outstanding. Unfortunately, when he was young, he had been attacked by an evil person, and his pill meridians were accidentally severed. Although he had excellent talent, thanks to his severed pill meridians, he was unable to use it.

Pill meridians were like Ding Yue's Heaven's Will sword pulse. They were considered a special talent and also a special type of constitution that was rarely seen in the world.

Therefore, even the Wang family, an aristocratic family that focused on studying the Dao of alchemy, did not discover Wang Luo's natural pill meridians. Otherwise, they would have done everything possible to reconnect his pill meridians.

Although he was an illegitimate, as long as Wang Luo's father was not a retard, he would not abandon such an outstanding son.

Wang Luo had been attacked when he was young. This matter seemed somewhat special. It seemed that it had not been done by someone from the Wang family, but was rather related to his mother.

Three years ago, Wang Luo's mother had left home to find a way to solve his body's flaws. Since then, there had been no trace of her. Wang Luo's situation took a turn for the worse as well.

The people who had schemed against him back then actually did not know that he had natural pill meridians. However, because they had severely injured Wang Luo back then, his pill meridians had unexpectedly been severed.

What a tragic fellow.

Moreover, Chu Xuan could also see that Wang Luo had been crushed in a pill battle with someone else, causing the Wang family to believe that he had completely disgraced the Wang family's pill dao. Expelling him was in itself a plot against him.

His fiancée had someone else she fancied, so she planned this debacle to find an excuse to break off her marriage engagement with Wang Luo.

As expected of a fated person. He had unexpectedly come to the Southern Region and even ran over to the Chu family's territory.

Wang Luo was walking in a daze when he spotted a small courtyard. His footsteps paused, and he hesitated in his heart as to whether or not he should stay in the small courtyard.

If he used the excuse of rewarding the Chu family for their spirit crystals and refined some medicinal pills for the Chu family, he would be able to stay in the Chu family. He would then have a place to stay and slowly search for a solution to his body's defects.

At this moment, a voice entered his ears.

"Young man, do you feel that your future is uncertain?"

"Do you feel that you have lost your direction in life?"

"Are you willing to remain downtrodden, exiled, abandoned, and reduced to being a piece of trash?"

"Do you ever think of rising up? To make those who once looked down on you feel regret?"

Wang Luo's body trembled as he looked towards the small courtyard.

"Senior, who are you?"

"I am known as the beacon of hope for lost souls, the savior of all the trash in the universe. Young man, as long as you are trash, if you study under me, you will make those who once abandoned you feel regret."

Wang Luo's face was filled with shock. He had a feeling that this senior was not being very serious.

He swallowed his saliva, and his heart pounded rapidly. "Senior, I became trash because of a flaw in my body…"

"No matter what the reason is, as long as you're trash, you are worthy of being saved by me. You can be reborn."

Chu Xuan's voice was ethereal, as if it had emerged from ancient times.

He had used a small time-based technique. Of course, he had used it inside his domain. To him, fooling Wang Luo, a mere profound realm cultivator, was a piece of cake.

Wang Luo was shocked and excited. Had he encountered an unimaginable expert?

A great opportunity!

Wang Luo hurriedly entered the small courtyard.

"Junior Wang Luo greets Senior!"

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he wanted to bow.

"Kneel down and kowtow. Acknowledge me as your master."

Wang Luo slightly raised his gaze and saw seven-colored divine light flashing around. A figure that exuded heaven-shaking power sat upright on the chair.

Plop!

Wang Luo was so shocked that he directly knelt down.

Chapter 99: Heavenly Void Fire

Wang Luo knew that the turning point of his life had arrived.

This was his great opportunity.

"Disciple Wang Luo pays respect to Master!"

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Wang Luo fiercely kowtowed three times until his forehead became red and swollen.

These kowtows made Chu Xuan very satisfied. He even heard the "Dong, Dong, Dong" sounds from his very sincere kowtows.

"You stayed in seclusion, yet a fated person from the Northern Region has come knocking on your door after traveling through the mountains and rivers. The reward is the Heavenly Void Fire and the Heavenly Void Fire Technique."

As expected, the system's reward arrived when he accepted Wang Luo as his disciple.

Moreover, the reward was the cultivation technique that suited Wang Luo the most.

"Get up."

...

Wang Luo raised his head and got up.

He saw Chu Xuan lazily sitting on the chair. There was no seven-colored divine light, and there was no figure with heaven-shaking might around him anymore.

The scene just now almost seemed to have been an illusion.

However, Wang Luo knew that it could not have been an illusion. His master looked young, but might be an old monster.

"From today onward, you're my second disciple."

Chu Xuan called Ding Yue and Su Xian'er out from the pocket dimension.

"This is your senior brother, Ding Yue."

He introduced them to Wang Luo and vice versa.

Su Xian'er was surprised. He took in a disciple again?

Ding Yue sized up Wang Luo. Wang Luo was only at the sixth level of the profound realm, and he looked very down and out.

Yet Ding Yue did not look down on him in the slightest.

He must have had extraordinary talent if he managed to catch his master's eye.

Su Xian'er had already broken through to the first level of the truth realm, and Ding Yue had also broken through to the unity realm.

With the help of the pocket dimension, the two of them cultivated extremely fast.

Chu Xuan looked at Wang Luo and said, "Your innate pill meridians were injured when you were young, causing them to be severed. This restricted your alchemy cultivation."

Wang Luo's body trembled. He clenched his fists tightly and muttered, "I see, I see!"

He finally understood that the flaws in his body were due to this matter.

When he thought about the scene of him being attacked when he was young, he was filled with hatred.

This had to be avenged!

"I have a pill that can reconnect your severed pill meridians. I also have a treasure that can reconnect your severed pill meridians

"I can even personally help you reconnect your severed pill meridians. However, using these methods, the reconnected pill meridians will no longer be innate pill meridians."

"Your innate pill meridians will instead become postnatal pill meridians. Although your talent will improve, it still cannot be compared to your innate pill meridians."

Wang Luo's eyes were bloodshot. He became even more resentful toward the mysterious attacker who had secretly injured him.

He originally had innate pill meridians. After reconnecting it, it would only become postnatal pill meridians. How could he be satisfied with that?

Chu Xuan continued, "I have the Heavenly Void Fire, which can allow you to reconnect your severed meridians. Not only will it preserve the quality of your innate pill meridians, it can even improve its potential further."

"However, reconnecting the meridians with the Heavenly Void Fire is like burning your own body with fire and torturing yourself with it. To complete the reconnection process, you will have to suffer for 49 days, after which you can refine the Heavenly Void Fire for your own use."

"If your will is not firm enough to withstand the pain of the Heavenly Void Fire burning your body, your will collapse and you will die."

"Of course, if you can endure the torture of having your body burnt and refine the heavenly fire, the benefits are endless. You can choose."

Wang Luo's gaze was resolute as he said, "Master, I choose to use the Heavenly Void Fire to reconnect my pill meridians."

"Have you thought it through? Although the Void Heaven Flame can reconnect your meridians and retain their innate potential, if you can't pass its trial by fire, you will die and your dao will disappear."

Wang Luo took a deep breath and said, "Master, I, Wang Luo, will either soar into the heavens and become unrivaled in the world, or I will disappear from the world soundlessly. I am not willing to live a mediocre life!"

"Good! Junior brother, I support you!" Ding Yue clapped his hands and cheered.

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "In that case, I will teach you the Heavenly Void Fire technique."

He raised his hand and pointed his finger, and the first chapter of the Heavenly Void Fire technique was passed to Wang Luo.

After the latter reached the Heaven realm, he would pass on the rest of the cultivation technique.

Given his current cultivation realm, there was no way Wang Luo could digest the entire cultivation technique.

Wang Luo's eyes were slightly closed as he comprehended the cultivation technique in his mind. He was extremely shocked.

It was too powerful.

What level of cultivation technique was this?

Wang Luo was extremely excited. His choice had not been wrong. This was indeed a great opportunity for him.

After Wang Luo had comprehended the initial steps of the cultivation technique and grasped how to reconnect the pill meridians, he started cultivating the Heavenly Void Fire technique.

A floating flame appeared atop Chu Xuan's hand.

The flame did not seem to be particularly hot, but somehow one could sense the terrifying power contained inside the flame.

When one's will touched the flame, it felt like it would be instantly incinerated.

Looking at Wang Luo, Chu Xuan spoke again, "You can still choose something else. This flame is extraordinary."

Ding Yue and Su Xian'er's expressions turned solemn. The Heavenly Void Fire was too terrifying. Just a strand of its aura was enough to burn their probing will.

Wang Luo was only at the sixth level of the profound realm. How could he refine it? How could he endure the trial by fire?

The Heavenly Void Fire in Chu Xuan's hand was not complete. It was only a strand separated from the main flame.

The Heavenly VoidFire was not something that Wang Luo could refine in its entirety. Not to mention connecting pill meridians, even if he touched a strand of the main flame's aura, there would not even be ash left of his body.

This strand of the Heavenly Void Fire had been processed by Chu Xuan. If Wang Luo's willpower was firm enough, he could refine it.

Although it was just a strand of the main flame, once it was refined and reconnected Wang Luo's pill meridians, it would be able to grow with him as his strength increased.

This strand of Heavenly Void Fire was enough for Wang Luo to reach the peak of his current major realm.

Furthermore, with the Heavenly Void Fire, he would be able to easily refine pills, which would be helpful to his alchemy cultivation.

Wang Luo's gaze was resolute as he said, "Master, I choose to refine the Heavenly Void Fire!"

One look was enough to tell that the Heavenly Void Fire was extraordinary. If he missed out on such a divine flame, how could he rise up? How could he take revenge?

How could he stomp on the Wang family of the Northern Region in the future?

How could he let off the woman who humiliated him and broke off the marriage engagement?

"Okay, then you can use this flame to reconnect your pill meridians."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and sent Wang Luo into the pocket dimension.

"You can refine the Heavenly Void Fire in this pocket dimension."

Wang Luo was extremely shocked. In the blink of an eye, he appeared inside a pocket dimension.

Everywhere he looked, the land was filled with spiritual medicines.

"Don't lose yourself in a daze. Focus and prepare. Reconnect the pill meridians."

Chu Xuan's voice entered his ears and Wang Luo came back to his senses. He took a few deep breaths and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Ding Yue and Su Xian'er also entered the pocket dimension and quietly looked at Wang Luo.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and the strand of the Heavenly Void Fire flew out and landed on Wang Luo's body.

"Ah!"

Wang Luo screamed in pain and was instantly engulfed by the flames.

He was in so much pain that his face contorted. However, he still maintained his will and circulated the Heavenly Void Fire technique, continuously refining and trying to tame the strand of the Heavenly Void Fire. He tried to absorb them into his body to reconnect his pill meridians.

The flames gradually contracted and entered Wang Luo's body.

Su Xian'er turned around and left, not daring to continue watching.

That fellow's clothes were all gone and, now that the flames were inside his body instead of outside, his naked body would definitely be exposed.

Wang Luo sat cross-legged on the ground. No flames could be seen on his body, but his entire body appeared like red-hot iron.

A scorching aura spread out in all directions.

His face was distorted, and his entire body was trembling.

However, he still did not fall. He crazily circulated the Heavenly Void Fire technique, slowly reconnecting the broken pill meridians while subduing and refining the strand of the Heavenly Void Fire.

Wang Luo felt that he was in an endless purgatory. There were several times when he felt that he could not hold on any longer. However, when he recalled the humiliation he had suffered, his hatred made him grit his teeth and persevere.

'I, Wang Luo, must make those who once looked down on me, laughed at me, abandoned me, and humiliated me look up to me in awe and endless regret!'

With this belief driving him forward, Wang Luo persisted unwaveringly.

Report chapter

Chapter 100: No Woman In My Heart, Alchemy Is My God

Chu Xuan paid close attention to Wang Luo's situation. As the fated person of an entire region, he should be able to endure this tiny bit of hardship, right?

Whether or not he could obtain the system's cultivation boost reward depended on whether Wang Luo could subdue and refine the Heavenly Void Fire.

Once he subdued and refined the Heavenly Void Fire, Wang Luo's strength would soar, and it was likely that his cultivation would directly break through to the next major realm.

He might even break through from the sixth level of the profound realm to the sixth level of the spirit realm.

If he broke through so quickly and refined the Heavenly Void Fire, thesystem's reward should be quite generous, right?

Chu Xuan's thoughts were occupied by the potential reward momentarily, after which he glanced at Ding Yue and muttered in his heart, 'Should I get a peerless fierce sword and let him try and subdue it?'

However Ding Yue had already contributed quite a bit to his cultivation boost reward, so even if he subdued the peerless fierce sword, the system probably would not give him another reward.

Chu Xuan could only give up on this idea.

He had decided that, in the future, he would have to give his new disciples some hardships when he took them in.

Wang Luo had been in the pocket dimension for forty-nine days, and not much time had passed in the outside world.

...

Chu Xuan watched for a while, and noticed that the scorching aura on Wang Luo's body had already begun converging. His distorted face gradually turned calm.

His cultivation aura began to rise.

His pill meridians had already been reconnected.

As expected of a fated person. He had successfully subdued and refined the Heavenly Void Fire.

Ding Yue saw that Wang Luo had already passed the crisis stage, so he went back to continue his closed-door cultivation session, striving to break through to the truth realm as soon as possible.

It was rumored that one could not reach the Emperor realm in the Southern Region. Ding Yue was confident that, as long as he broke through to the peak of the truth realm, he would definitely be the top master in the Southern Region.

He could kill the top genius of Nine Swords Mountain with one sword strike.

The days where he would be able to hold his head high were not far away.

Moreover, with his master's methods, it would not be impossible for him to break through to the Emperor realm.

The fire around Wang Luo's body erupted. Scorching hot flames enveloped him, turning his entire body into a ball of fire.

His realm also broke through to the spirit realm.

"Under your guidance, your disciple has broken through realms quickly. With great perseverance, he subdued and refined the Heavenly Void Fire. You have been rewarded with one hundred years' worth of cultivation and the completed Hundred Tempering Divine Technique."

The system's reward had arrived.

A hundred years' worth of cultivation!

As expected, as long as he accepted the fated person and that person quickly broke through to the next realm, he would receive the system's reward.

Chu Xuan then chose to receive the hundred years' worth of cultivation.

He started to break through to the fourth level of the Supreme realm. The reward of a hundred years' worth of cultivation was enough for Chu Xuan to break through to the sixth level of the Supreme realm.

The completed Hundred Tempering Divine Technique was an extremely powerful divine soul technique, eternal and immortal.

The divine soul that was cultivated using the completed Hundred Tempering Divine Technique could live forever, and rise again and recover even if only a wisp of one's divine soul remained.

Chu Xuan was currently only at the sixth level of the Supreme realm, but the power of his divine soul was no weaker than a ninth-level Supreme realm cultivator.

In fact, in terms of the tenacity of his divine soul, it was already comparable to the divine soul of a Heaven realm expert.

From this, it could be seen how powerful the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique was.

After Chu Xuan received the complete Hundred Tempering Divine Technique, he discovered that this divine soul technique was a combination of offense and defense, and the way it used the divine soul was extremely mysterious.

Among the divine soul secret techniques provided were the soul clone technique, the soul substitution technique, and so on.

Chu Xuan could not use most of the divine soul secret techniques. For example, he could not use the soul clone technique.

He could not leave the small courtyard.

The soul substitution technique, on the other hand, was nothing more than a technique to use part of one's soul to die in place of his divine soul. The original divine soul would be hidden from the enemy's perception.

Wang Luo broke through to the sixth level of the spirit realm in one breath, after which he stopped. After consolidating his cultivation for a few days, he excitedly returned to the small courtyard.

He respectfully knelt in front of Chu Xuan and kowtowed three times. "Your disciple thanks Master for this immense favor!"

Without Chu Xuan, Wang Luo would not be where he was today.

Chu Xuan was a god in his heart!

"You possess great perseverance. I didn't misjudge you."

Chu Xuan was very gratified. After all, Wang Luo had contributed a hundred years' worth of cultivation to him and was a good disciple.

Wang Luo was expelled by the Wang family, and he was also forced to break off his marriage engagement. He had been humiliated and had been holding back the anger in his heart and the desire to take revenge.

As a budding alchemist, he was bound to be very popular.

With Wang Luo's newfound talent, it was only a matter of time before he was able to concoct a divine-grade pill.

At that time, there would be countless people who would seek his help, as well as plenty of beautiful women.

While the possibility of Wang Luo becoming a simp was not high, Chu Xuan felt that it was necessary to give him some advice and instill the correct values in him.

Whether it was his male disciples, or his female disciples in the future, none of them could be simps!

Thinking that, Chu Xuan said, "The path of alchemy is full of endless bewitchment, flattery, and the temptation of rare treasures. Among them, beauty is the most difficult to guard against."

Wang Luo listened respectfully. This was his master speaking to him, after all.

"You must remember that there should be no woman in your heart. Alchemy is your god. You must remember that you are not to be bewitched by beauty, not to be moved by beauty, and not to be moved by love."

"If you are moved by beauty or moved by love, your heart will no longer be focused on the path of alchemy, and then your path of alchemy will come to an end."

"Since ancient times, those who have been obsessed with beauty and those who have been infatuated with love will eventually die for love. They will die for love, and then they will perish from the world. You must remember this!"

Wang Luo's heart trembled. He said solemnly, "I will always remember the teachings of my master. I will always remember that there should be no woman in my heart. Alchemy will naturally become my god. I will never be bewitched by beauty!"

"You are a promising young man!"

Chu Xuan was greatly gratified. The more Wang Luo understood this, the further he would go on the path of alchemy.

When there was no woman in his heart, and once alchemy was his god, he would naturally become a god-like alchemy master!

"You walk the path of alchemy. After refining the Heavenly Void Fire, you will naturally become proficient in alchemy and won't be too weak in battle."

"As my disciple, your strength can't be weak."

As Chu Xuan spoke, he took out an alchemy furnace and a cattail leaf fan.

"Since you managed to refine the Heavenly Void Fire, you will naturally be able to get this furnace and cattail leaf fan to recognize you as their master. I will bestow them upon you."

Regardless of whether it was the pill cauldron or the fan, they were both divine artifacts.

Wang Luo's strength was naturally insufficient to use divine artifacts. However, he was an alchemist and the pill cauldron was meant for alchemists. It was not a divine artifact used for battle.

As long as he could get the cauldron to recognize him as its master, he would be able to use it to refine pills without any problems.

Furthermore, Wang Luo possessed the Heavenly Void Fire. This flame was extraordinary and was capable of fueling the divine pill cauldron.

The cattail leaf fan was compatible with the pill furnace. It did have some offensive power, and could be used to create wind and spread fire.

Divine artifacts were also divided into different types and grades. Some divine artifacts could be used by those at the profound realm, but could not be fully unleashed.

Still, armed with such a divine artifact, one could almost certainly sweep away those at the same level.

"Thank you, Master!"

Wang Luo was extremely excited.

A divine-grade pill furnace!

The Wang family's guardian pill furnace was only a semi-divine artifact.

Yet this semi-divine artifact had allowed the Wang family to stand tall in the Northern Region and become one of its largest clans.

Chu Xuan threw out two more manuals and said, "This is the myriad elixir scripture and the myriad spirit scripture."

The manuals were a copy of the myriad elixir scripture and the myriad spirit scripture.

Wang Luo opened the manual and took a look at the words and pictures inside it. After just a cursory glance, he was shocked by the alchemy techniques and pill formulas inside.

Moreover, the manual itself was a supreme treasure.

How much content was recorded in such a small manual!

Unless one had great means, it was impossible to have written out such a supreme resource for alchemists.

Chapter 101: Was The Great Qin Emperor A Woman?

After passing the Myriad Elixir Scripture and the Myriad Spirit Scripture to Wang Luo, Chu Xuan passed him the concealment technique as usual.

He also included a few secret techniques.

This included the Immovable Mountain technique, which was a great defensive technique.

It was not an exaggeration to say that, armed with these secret techniques, Wang Luo was almost invincible among alchemists of the same level.

He would definitely be the most powerful existence among alchemists.

The Hundred Tempering Divine Technique was complete so, after thinking for a bit, Chu Xuan decided to pass the first part of the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique to Su Xian'er, Ding Yue, and Wang Luo.

He would also pass it to Chu Yun when she came back.

He called them out of the pocket dimension.

"Today, I will teach you a great soul technique."

Chu Xuan then passed the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique to the three of them. At the same time, he also passed the soul cloning technique and the soul substitution technique to the three of them.

...

He did not need these soul secret techniques. In the future, when the three of them went out to explore the vast cultivation world, these techniques might come in handy.

This was especially true of the soul substitution technique. During critical moments, the technique could save their lives.

Su Xian'er and the other two were shocked. This soul technique was too powerful and mysterious.

They felt that Chu Xuan's strength was unfathomable.

After sending the three of them back into the pocket dimension to continue cultivating, Chu Xuan took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

He injected his spiritual power into it and the Myriad Heavenly Mirror connected to a random place.

Waves of light rippled, and an image projection appeared.

A cliff, an ancient tree, and a beautiful woman.

The ten thousand heavenly mirror connected to a cliff. On a large rock, a beautiful woman in a man's attire sat cross-legged.

The woman was cultivating.

On the cliff, there was an ancient tree with sparse foliage.

Chu Xuan's gaze landed on the woman. The woman's appearance was extremely beautiful, and she seemed to exude a heroic air.

The heroic air seemed innate and blended in perfectly with her beautiful appearance, giving the whole scene a special charm.

"What a beautiful woman!" Chu Xuan gasped in shock. What a heroic and valiant beauty!

He then examined the woman's cultivation level. She was at the third level of the Emperor realm!

Eh?

Suddenly, Chu Xuan noticed that the woman did not seem too old. She only seemed to be in her twenties.

Although cultivators could maintain their youthful appearance, their age could not be concealed in front of experts.

Chu Xuan's strength was much higher than the other party's, so he could naturally tell the approximate age of the woman from a glance.

She had already broken through to the third level of the Emperor realm at such a young age?

There were many people in the truth realm in their twenties, and they were all considered top geniuses.

However, no genius in their twenties could break through to the Emperor realm unless they had gained some special opportunities.

This was a huge hurdle.

Even if one only needed ten years to break through from the profound realm to the truth realm, one would still be stuck at the bottleneck to the Emperor realm for a long time.

They would need time to accumulate and would have to wait for an opportunity to break through.

Chu Xuan could not help but think of the special situation that allowed this woman to surpass the 100-year Emperor realm benchmark.

He immediately became very interested in the valiant woman.

"Luo Ying, the top heaven's favorite of the Luo family of the Central Region in the Eastern Zone, which is a human king's family. Possesses the bloodline of the human king, and is the reincarnation of the Great Qin Emperor Qin Ying. He was reincarnated using the human king's Dao Weapon…"

Under the Heaven's Secrets Origin probing technique, the identity of the woman was revealed.

At the beginning, Chu Xuan felt shocked. She had such a powerful background.

She came from the Central Region's human king's family and possessed the bloodline of a human king.

However, when he reached the end of the probing technique's description, Chu Xuan was stunned.

F*ck!

She was the reincarnation of the Great Qin Emperor?

The Great Qin Emperor was a woman?

For real?

The peerless figure who had unified the South Province and established the Great Qin Empire was actually a woman?

Something was not quite right.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and continued to investigate the woman's origins.

Qin Ying relied on the human king's Dao Weapon to reincarnate into the Luo family. Did this mean that he died back then and his soul escaped?

At the same time, he had laid out a plan for the Asura Ancient Land and plotted his return?

Despite further investigation, he could not find out Qin Ying's original gender because the Heaven's Secrets Origins probing technique was disturbed.

The Human King Dao Weapon in Qin Ying's body was interfering.

Chu Xuan was only at the Supreme realm, and the Heaven's Secrets Origins probing technique was not powerful enough to ignore the human king Dao Weapon's interference.

The Eastern Zone's Central Province!

Qin Ying had actually reincarnated into the Eastern Zone's Central Region as a member of the human king's Luo family.

Did Qin Keyun know about it?

The human king's family was a truly top-notch faction.

Those who could be called human kings were all peerless existences who led the rise of the human race and unified the area they were in.

The five zones that the human race occupied were all related to the rumored human kings.

Of the five zones of the human race, only the Northern Zone had never produced a human king.

The other zones were different. The rise of their human kings, who swept the land in all directions and annihilated all enemies, led the human race to become the leader of those zones.

It was precisely because of this that they were called human kings.

The Eastern Zone was too far away from the Northern and Southern Zones, so Chu Xuan did not know much about that zone, and the Luo family only showed up in a few records in some ancient books.

Qin Ying had actually reincarnated into the Luo family.

Could it be that his human king Dao Weapon was left behind by the Luo family's human king?

More importantly, was the Great Qin Emperor really a woman?

For some reason, Chu Xuan felt that something was not right.

After placing the last mark of the Myriad Heavenly Mirror on Qin Ying's body, Chu Xuan deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.

Today he encountered an unexpected surprise—the Myriad Heavenly Mirror had connected to Qin Ying—an important figure in the context of the Asura Ancient Land as well as a key figure who laid out the plan back then.

The other party had already reincarnated.

Furthermore, he had reincarnated into the Luo family of the Eastern Zone.

Could it be that he wanted to use the might of a human king's family to take revenge and rise up once again?

The Northern Zone had never produced a human king.

Most likely, no power could resist the might of the Wang family, right?

Chu Xuan sent a message to Bao Hongyan, asking her to tell Qin Keyun to come to the courtyard.

Chu Xuan felt that it was necessary to ask Qin Keyun about Qin Ying's gender.

Was the Great Qin Emperor actually a woman?

There were not many records about Qin Ying but, from the few records, one could feel how domineering the Great Qin Emperor, who had once unified the Southern Region, was, and how mighty and extraordinary he was.

From those few records, the Great Qin Emperor did not seem to be a woman.

Inside the Great Qin Imperial Palace, Qin Keyun was cultivating.

"Your Majesty, Tower Lord Bao has sent over a letter."

The maidservant walked in and said respectfully.

Qin Keyun frowned. Black Moon Tower's gold-level Tower Lord, Bao Hongyan?

She raised her hand and took the letter from her maidservant's hand.

She opened it and took a look.

Her pretty face changed immediately, and her eyes now displayed an uncertain expression.

She waved her hand to get the servant girl to leave. Qin Keyun read the letter several times and bit her lips, feeling uneasy.

Why did he summon her to meet him?

Chu Xuan was indeed good-looking, and she also wanted to see him. However, when she thought of Chu Xuan's terrifying strength, Qin Keyun always dismissed the idea of visiting.

She was not a nymphomaniac, nor was she a slut. She knew that visiting him would be akin to inviting danger upon herself.

Being an empress was pretty good, so why did she have to go and bow down to him?

In fact, she might even become a servant girl.

He was not the Great Qin Emperor!

However, Qin Keyun did not dare to ignore Chu Xuan's summons, nor did she dare to refuse.

If she refused to go, what if he personally came to Great Qin Imperial Palace?

Qin Keyun gritted her teeth and changed out of her empress' robe. She put on some casual attire and reverted to her cute and shy appearance.

She silently left the palace and went to the Chu family's territory to pay her respects to Chu Xuan.

Chapter 102: I've Become A Woman, How Can I Face My Brothers?

Looking at the obedient Qin Keyun, who looked rather shy and nervous, Chu Xuan did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "Qin Ying, the Great Qin Emperor… is he a man or a woman?"

Qin Keyun was stunned.

He called her here just to ask this question?

"He…" Qin Keyun answered honestly, "The Supreme Emperor is an unrivaled man!"

Although he had already guessed it, to hear it actually confirmed, Chu Xuan was quite shocked.

Holy sh*t!

Only these two words were sufficient to express what he was currently feeling.

Qin Ying was a man!

Yet now, he had reincarnated into a woman.

No wonder she had a heroic air about her.

...

Was there an accident during the reincarnation process, or did Qin Ying deliberately reincarnate as a woman?

It was probably an accident.

Chu Xuan did not know whether Qin Ying had recovered or retained his memories from his previous life. If he had, how would he feel?

Chu Xuan could not help but envision this scene in his mind…

Qin Ying's former brothers fought their way back into the Asura Ancient Land when it opened but, in the end, they discovered that their former big brother had become a valiant and peerless beauty.

That feeling would probably be indescribable.

What would be even scarier was if one of his former brothers fell in love with Qin Ying.

He stopped thinking about it. If he continued to think about it, his imagination would run wild!

Chu Xuan shook his head and discarded some of the distasteful mental images from his mind.

At this moment, Chu Xuan's interest in Qin Ying was piqued, and he was even more interested in the other party than the ancient war against the demons.

Qin Keyun was dumbfounded. What was wrong with Chu Xuan?

Why did he look so strange after asking her about the Great Qin Emperor's gender?

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back."

Chu Xuan's expression made her feel uneasy.

Qin Keyun only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and calmed his chaotic thoughts, saying, "You reestablished the Great Qin Dynasty to prepare for Qin Ying's return? Was that his backup plan?"

Qin Keyun shut her mouth and did not say a word.

"You're no longer afraid of me?"

Chu Xuan enunciated each syllable clearly.

Qin Keyun's delicate body trembled slightly before she bit her lips and said, "I won't betray the Supreme Emperor!"

"You're quite loyal for a demonic pet!" Chu Xuan smiled and said.

He did not make things difficult for Qin Keyun, nor did he plant a soul seal on her to obtain the secrets she knew about Qin Ying's plan.

Chu Xuan believed that Qin Keyun was just a pawn in the plan. She would not know too much, and certainly would not have been allowed to play a key role in the plan.

"I am not a demonic pet. I am now a descendant of the Supreme Emperor!" Qin Keyun said stubbornly.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go back."

When Qin Keyun saw Qin Ying in the future, she would realize that the mighty Supreme Emperor in her heart had turned into a woman. He wondered what she would think about that.

The situation around the Asura Ancient Land was becoming more and more interesting.

Qin Keyun widened her eyes and fiercely looked at Chu Xuan a few more times. She did not know when she would see him again after she left this time, so she looked at him a few more times.

When the Supreme Emperor returned, she would definitely ask him to capture Chu Xuan and make him her husband.

He was really too good-looking!

After Qin Keyun left, Chu Xuan impatiently activated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and connected it to the mark he left on Qin Ying's body.

The scene the image projection displayed was still that of that same cliff.

Qin Ying was still sitting cross-legged.

She pursed her lips tightly, her face expressionless. Her bright eyes were filled with a fierce gleam.

A figure flew over and landed on the cliff.

The person who arrived was clad in snow-white robes and looked extremely flashy.

He had a cultivation base that had reached the ninth level of the Emperor realm.

He was already over 200 years old.

At this age, in the cultivation world, he was definitely still considered a young man.

In addition, the combination of his young age and ninth-level Emperor realm cultivation meant that, without a doubt, he was an outstanding heaven's blessed.

"Cousin, I've found the fiery lava that you've been searching so hard for."

The white-robed man took out a small jar and spoke.

The moment he opened his mouth, one could already tell what his intentions were.

"Mhm," Qin Ying coldly replied.

The white-robed man was extremely happy. He placed the jar beside Qin Ying and tried to sit down next to her.

A gaze that was as sharp as a knife shot at him.

"Cousin, I've gone through a lot of trouble to get you this fiery lava. I've fought hundreds of battles just to get it. I just want to make you happy."

The white-robed man put on a lascivious smile.

"Cousin, can you smile for me? I'll be satisfied with just one smile."

"Zhu Yuanbai, get lost!"

Qin Ying stood up abruptly. "His" eyes were filled with killing intent.

Zhu Yuanbai clutched his chest with both hands, his face full of satisfaction. "Cousin, you are so dashing even when you are angry. You have moved my heart too much."

Huff! Huff!

Qin Ying was so angry that "he" almost exploded. "His" chest rose and fell violently.

Zhu Yuanbai's eyes were wide open, staring at Qin Ying's magnificent and undulating chest.

"Go to hell!"

Qin Ying shouted in a delicate voice. A large halberd appeared in her hand, carrying a force of ten thousand tons as she hacked toward Zhu Yuanbai with great momentum.

Shua!

Zhu Yuanbai's figure flashed and, soon, he was already a hundred meters away. He hurriedly fled.

"Cousin, you look so charming when you're angry!"

"Ah!"

Qin Ying was so angry that "he" swung "his" huge halberd in all directions. The cliff collapsed immediately!

Qin Ying finally calmed down after a long time.

"He" lowered his head and looked at "his" body. "His" heart collapsed in frustration once again.

'I, Qin Ying, an eight-foot tall man, actually became a woman!'

How pathetic, shameful, and hateful!

The moment his reincarnated body regained its memories at the age of eighteen, he happened to be in the middle of bathing. When his hands touched his tall chest, he was filled with emotions. His plan had finally succeeded, and he had finally survived.

Wait a minute!

There was something wrong with what he was feeling.

When he looked down, Qin Ying's state of mind collapsed.

'Where is my manly body?'

'Why did I become a woman?'

'What exactly went wrong? Why did I reincarnate into a woman's body?'

"He" let out an angry roar, but what actually came out of "his" mouth was a delicate and crisp cry.

'Where did my roar, which was as loud and powerful as thunder, go?'

'From now on, would he only be able to scream and screech?'

Qin Ying was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He felt like commiting suicide.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was that, if all of his old brothers were still alive, how would he face them?

During his last moments, he had used the human king Dao weapon to reincarnate into the Luo family. He wanted to borrow the might of the human king's family to grow strong enough to once again fight his way back into the Northern Zone and kill all of the traitors and enemies, ultimately regaining his throne.

As he wished, he had reincarnated into the Luo family.

However, he was not reincarnated as a man, but as a woman.

He became the daughter of the current head of the Luo family. He was the famous peerless genius of the Luo family, and also the most beautiful person in the Eastern Zone.

'I'm a f*cking man!'

Qin Ying did not understand what had gone wrong. Why did he reincarnate into a woman?

After recovering his memories from his previous life, Qin Ying chose not to speak unless it was absolutely necessary.

He also did not like to wear women's clothes.

As soon as he opened his mouth and heard his crisp voice, he felt like banging his head against the wall and committing suicide!

As the day when Asura Ancient Land would open drew near, Qin Ying started to feel a bit scared. He was no longer the mighty Great Qin Emperor.

He had become a little girl!

How was he going to face his brothers and friends from back then?

How was he going to face his enemies from back then?

Would he be laughed at and ridiculed to death?

He missed his domineering roar of the past, which could make people's hearts tremble!

Now?

He could still shout, but his roar would make their hearts tremble for an altogether different reason!

Report chapter

Chapter 103: I Don't Want This Enchanting Body; I Want To Be A Fierce Man!

Qin Ying held the halberd in her hand. Her eyes were filled with grief.

She tightly pursed her lips; she would never speak if she could help it.

Every time she heard her own sweet voice, she wished she could commit suicide and reincarnate again.

Qin Ying picked up the fiery lava that Zhu Yuanbai had brought over and muttered to herself, "I need a powerful body refining technique."

Back then, the Great Qin Emperor had an unrivaled overlord body and was undefeatable. Back then, he had led his group of brothers to unify the Southern Region.

But now?

He had become a woman with a weak body, which even had trouble unleashing the full power of his martial techniques from back then.

The Luo family was incredibly powerful and had countless martial techniques; they did not lack powerful martial techniques, and their descendants were outstanding and talented.

However, he was still fond of the domineering martial techniques from his previous life.

In order to wield these powerful and domineering martial techniques, one required a strong physique.

...

His current body could not be said to be weak. After all, he had the bloodline of the human king running through his veins. It was just that it could not compare to the overlord body from his previous life.

This body's talent was focused elsewhere, and was not very suitable for those kinds of domineering martial techniques.

After all, he was now a woman.

Qin Ying let out a long sigh. He could only rely on treasures like the fiery lava to refine his new body bit by bit.

At the same time, he also had to cultivate martial techniques that he was unfamiliar with.

His physique could not keep up with his training, nor could it display the full strength of the powerful martial techniques of his previous life. In the end, this affected his overall combat strength.

Fortunately, his level of talent in this life was not poor. He could practice the pinnacle techniques of the human king's family to make up for his weaknesses in this regard.

Chu Xuan took one look at Qin Ying and immediately knew that he had already recovered the memories of his previous life.

Fiery lava was a type of scorching hot, extremely destructive, heavenly and earthly treasure. It was usually used to temper the body.

Qin Ying probably felt that his current body was too weak, and wanted to rely on body tempering to increase the strength of his body.

His body in his previous life was probably unrivaled in terms of physical strength.

This could also be seen from the weapon Qin Ying wielded, which was a large halberd.

Chu Xuan hesitated. Should he appear and trick the other party?

Or perhaps even take her in as a disciple?

However, when he remembered that Qin Ying, this delicate yet dashing peerless beauty, was actually a man's soul in a woman's body, he felt disgusted.

He felt that it was strange.

After some time, Qin Ying let out a long sigh again. She turned around and left the collapsed cliff, returning to the Luo family's residence.

As the number one family in the Eastern Zone, the Luo family was famous.

There were many geniuses in the past generations and, in this generation, Luo Ying (Qin Ying) was their number one talent. At such a young age, she had already reached the third level of the Emperor realm.

Her combat strength was unparalleled and, while wielding a halberd, she was unrivaled among those in the same realm.

However, she was too cold, aloof and rarely spoke to anyone. She did not display even a tinge of interest in any of her many admirers. In fact, she actively rebuffed them.

She was known as the Ice Beauty Luo Ying!

There was once a genius from a large family who pursued her doggedly. He even spent a lot of money to invite a respected senior to accompany him to the Luo family to ask for her hand in marriage.

In the end, Luo Ying wielded her large halberd and chased that genius for an entire day and a night. She almost hacked him to death.

After that incident, there had not been any geniuses who dared to ask for her hand in marriage.

Their lives were more important.

The Luo family's territory was far larger than the Chu family's. The ancient-looking simple hall was covered with arrays and was heavily guarded.

The guards at the door were all truth realm cultivators.

There was even an Emperor realm cultivator hiding in the darkness.

As expected of the human king's family…

Chu Xuan sighed. Their ancestors were unparalleled experts who had led the rise of the human race in that zone and ruled over it.

Alternatively, their ancestors had helped turn the tide when the human race was in danger, and then led the rise of the human race to expel the foreign races.

Only experts with such great achievements were worthy of being called human kings.

Every human king had to be a peerless expert.

Otherwise, how could they lead the rise of the human race and turn the tide against the foreign races?

Qin Ying returned to the Luo family. Along the way, the guards and servants all bowed to her.

"Greetings, third miss!"

In this life, he was the third child of the family.

Qin Ying kept a straight face throughout the entire journey and did not reply. Every time he heard them address him as 'Third Miss', he could not help but clench his small fists tightly!

He went all the way back to the Luo clan's ancestral residence, and straight back to the small courtyard where he resided.

In the Luo family, he was often alone. Before he had regained his memories of his previous life, he had been quite sociable.

The change happened because he still could not accept the fact that he had become a woman.

Qin Ying suspected that the reason he had become a woman in this life was related to the human king's Dao weapon.

This Dao weapon was left behind by the Luo family's human king. Speaking of which, he did have some connection with the Luo family's human king in his previous life.

Without that connection, he would not have obtained the human king's Dao weapon.

The Dao weapon was in the form of a bracelet.

One look at it was all it took for anyone to figure out that it obviously belonged to a woman.

It was most likely a gift from the human king to a certain woman.

When he returned to his small courtyard, a beautiful woman walked over with a doting expression on her face.

"Ying'er, you're already the strongest amongst your peers. Don't keep pushing yourself. Don't cultivate too hard and damage your body."

"I understand."

Qin Ying's expression was very stiff.

He still did not know how to get along with his mother in this life.

"My dear child, you are a girl. Why are you cultivating a body tempering technique? Our Luo clan has many divine techniques, all of which are stronger than some random body tempering technique."

"Don't damage your body. Listen to your mother's advice and stop cultivating that body tempering technique, okay?" Mother Luo advised gently.

In the past, this daughter of hers was very obedient. Her character was good too, and she did not insist on cultivating body tempering techniques.

However, she had suddenly changed and become like this.

Her heart ached terribly for her daughter.

"I won't give it up," Qin Ying said firmly.

"Ying'er, why must you insist on tempering your body?"

As Mother Luo spoke, she pulled Qin Ying's hand into hers and said, "Look at your skin; look at your figure. How many girls are envious of you? Why do you insist on tempering your body? What if your body is damaged in the process?"

Qin Ying's heart was on the verge of collapse.

'I don't want this tender white skin! I don't want this enchanting body!'

'I want to be a fierce man!'

'Damn it! This is so depressing.'

Mother Luo nagged him for a long time, but Qin Ying kept silent the entire time. He had no idea how to deal with his mother in this life.

No matter what, she was his biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him. His soul was still Qin Ying, but his body and bloodline came from his parents.

"Mother, do you know of any method in this world that can turn a woman into a man?" Qin Ying suddenly asked.

Mother Luo was stunned. Her expression changed drastically and her face was filled with fear.

"Ying'er, don't scare me. Why would you have such a thought?"

"You are a woman. Why would you want to become a man?"

"It's over, it's over. Could it be that you've gone mad?"

Mother Luo was terrified. "Someone come quickly."

A figure appeared silently.

"Mistress!"

"Quickly, call for the family head. Quickly, call the elders. Ying'er might have gone mad."

Looking at his mother's terrified expression, the corners of Qin Ying's mouth twitched.

"Mother, I haven't gone mad!"

"Are you sure you haven't gone crazy? Why do you want to be a man?"

Mother Luo always felt that there was something wrong with Luo Ying.

Qin Ying's face was full of despair.

'I was a f*cking domineering man! I just wanted to return to my former domineering self!'

Report chapter

Chapter 104: Just Die Already!

The Luo family head and the elders rushed over to check on Qin Ying. They were terrified that she might have really gone mad.

At the same time, the matter of Qin Ying wanting to become a man was classified as top secret, and no one present was allowed to leak this information.

Fortunately, they were the only ones who heard it, so they were not afraid of the news being leaked.

In the end, they all came to the conclusion that the reason why Qin Ying had come up with such a ridiculous idea was definitely because she had little to no contact with men.

It was all because she was interested in men's bodies.

After all, Qin Ying had always been focused on cultivation.

Due to this, Mother Luo specially taught Qin Ying about the differences between men and women. For this reason, she even assigned a few handsome men to Qin Ying's small courtyard.

They were all here so she could be exposed to men and familiarize herself with them.

His cousin, Zhu Yuanbai, came over excitedly.

Qin Ying was on the verge of breaking down. He greatly regretted blurting that out.

Chu Xuan rubbed his chin.

...

'Turning a woman into a man?'

'Wouldn't it be fine to just perform sex change surgery?'

However, he then remembered that this was a cultivation world. The cultivation of martial artists was related to the Great Dao. There was a saying that yin and yang were determined by the heavens. Rebellion against this order would bring disaster.

In other words, if she turned herself into a man, she would be rejected by the Great Dao. Disaster might even befall her and, in the end, she would not be able to comprehend the Great Dao.

The soul was actually a condensed body of will. Logically speaking, the gender of the soul would be the same as the body's.

In other words, when one was born as a woman, when one condensed one's soul, it was impossible for one to think that they were a man instead of woman.

Qin Ying was an exception. In his previous life, he had been a man, and his soul was also that of a man's. However, in this life, his body was that of a woman's.

Chu Xuan was very curious. When he condensed his soul upon birth, was it determined to be a man's soul or a woman's soul?

In fact, it had always been in the state of a man's soul in his previous life?

Looking at Qin Ying's appearance, it seemed that he had undergone a complete rebirth as opposed to a simple reincarnation of his soul. His was a true reincarnation that had merged his soul with the Luo family's bloodline.

If his soul had been implanted into Luo Ying at birth, he would definitely not be able to hide it from the Luo family's experts.

So, in this case, was he a male soul or a female soul?

Were the memories and consciousness of his previous life causing him to deny reality.

Had he actually condensed a female soul?

This was something Chu Xuan had no knowledge of whatsoever.

Chu Xuan deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror. He had been observing Qin Ying for a long time, so he had consumed quite a lot of spiritual power.

He quickly swallowed a few pills to recover the lost spiritual power.

Over the following period of time, Chu Xuan spent most of his time observing Qin Ying.

He was not even interested in the Black Moon Tower's information anymore. He did not even call for Su Xian'er to brief him about the trivial matters happening in the region.

How could the things happening in the Southern Region be more interesting than watching Qin Ying's daily life?

Qin Ying once again went to the Luo family's scripture depository to search for body tempering cultivation techniques. However, the cultivation techniques that he could find were all gentler in nature.

They were all body tempering cultivation techniques that were suitable for women. If he continued to cultivate them, apart from strengthening his physical body, they would make his figure become even more enchanting.

Furthermore, they would highlight the charms of a woman.

He could not even find a single wild and violent body tempering technique.

Qin Ying's expression darkened.

Ever since they discovered that he had the intention of becoming a man, the Luo family head had hidden all of the body tempering techniques that had wild and violent attributes.

He had replaced them with cultivation techniques that were specially prepared for females to temper their bodies.

He had even gone out of his way to collect quite a number of these cultivation techniques from the outside world, such as the water physique, the boneless serpent physique, and so on.

Qin Ying returned to his residence's courtyard.

That old dog, Zhu Yuanbai, had already come over to bother him.

"Cousin, here is some ice-clear jade milk. It has a miraculous effect when it comes to tempering one's body. It can also make your skin tender and white, and exude an enchanting fragrance."

Qin Ying clenched his fists tightly. His face was flushed red, and he was so angry that his body trembled slightly.

'Gah, damn it!'

'I don't want fair skin or to exude an enchanting fragrance. I want to be fierce, domineering, and unyielding!'

"Get… Get lost!" Qin Ying roared.

"Cousin, don't be so angry. This really can make your skin fair and lovely."

Zhu Yuanbai's eyes never left Qin Ying. He said emotionally, "Cousin, you look so beautiful when you're angry!"

Qin Ying was furious. He hated this b*stard Zhu Yuanbai the most.

If he could beat him, he would have killed him with a swing of his halberd.

"Cousin, will you marry me?" Zhu Yuanbai asked affectionately, "If I can marry you, cousin, the child will follow your surname, and I can also change my surname to yours. As long as you agree to marry me!"

Chu Xuan was speechless. This Zhu Yuanbai was the king of the simps, wasn't he?

Qin Ying was so angry that his face turned ashen. His delicate body trembled, and his chest heaved up and down violently.

Zhu Yuanbai's eyes were as wide as they could be, and he did not even blink as he awaited Qin Ying's response.

"Ugh, just die already!"

He raised the halberd and attacked Zhu Yuanbai ferociously.

This was too depressing.

'I, Qin Ying, am an eight feet tall man of great stature. I was extraordinarily powerful back then, but now I'm actually a delicate woman.'

'In the past, when I opened my mouth, my roars and shouts would terrify my enemies. But now, I'm afraid to even open my mouth and speak!'

He was very depressed. He was afraid that, one day, he would truly feel like a woman and fall in love with a man.

As he imagined this scene, Qin Ying felt a chill run down his spine.

Wielding his halberd, he chased after Zhu Yuanbai all the way out of the Luo family's territory.

Qin Ying had truly been angered to the point of madness.

That b*stard actually dared to confess to him.

I am also a man!

Chu Xuan watched this scene with relish. Qin Ying did not stop chasing Zhu Yuanbai, and it seemed like he would not stop until he killed the other party.

As he deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror, Chu Xuan fell into a state of deep thought. Qin Ying's obsession with finding a powerful body tempering technique reminded him that he had neglected the importance of body tempering.

Chu Xuan's physical body was naturally very strong, and he did not need to deliberately temper his body. Moreover, he had already comprehended many body tempering techniques.

In terms of the strength of his physical body, no one in the same realm could compare to him.

However, Chu Xuan was thinking of Ding Yue and Wang Luo, his two disciples.

The cultivation techniques that were compatible with the two of them had already been passed on to the two of them, allowing them to perfectly display their talent and potential.

He had also given them a soul cultivation technique.

The only thing missing was a body tempering cultivation technique.

As his disciples, they naturally had to be strong in every aspect. How could they be lacking in terms of body tempering?

This did not apply to Su Xian'er, though. Her Grand Moon Mystic Body was already extraordinary to begin with. After cultivating the Grand Moon Immortal Spell, her physical strength would definitely be ranked among the top of those in the same realm.

As such, there was no need to specifically teach her body tempering techniques.

Chu Xuan looked through the body tempering techniques he possessed and found two that were suitable for Ding Yue and Wang Luo.

He then summoned Wang Luo and Ding Yue.

Ding Yue was preparing to break through to the truth realm, while Wang Luo was preparing to break through to the void realm.

The two of them had been cultivating for several years in the pocket dimension.

"Master!"

"Today, I'll teach you both body tempering techniques."

Ding Yue and Wang Luo were pleasantly surprised. They often thought to themselves that, excluding the strength of their physical bodies, it was hard to find someone on the same level as them.

After all, the cultivation techniques they cultivated were all extraordinary.

Now, if they cultivated the body tempering techniques that their master was about to teach them, how terrifyingly strong would their physical bodies become?

It was likely that even the experts who specialized in physical body cultivation would not be able to compare with them.

The two of them knelt down respectfully. "Thank you, Master."

"Mister, what about me?" Su Xian 'er asked anxiously.

"You don't need it. Your Grand Moon Mystic Body is already plenty extraordinary. Moreover, do you want to become a muscular beauty?"

Chu Xuan glanced at her.

"Forget it then."

The moment Su Xian'er imagined herself as a hulking, muscled female cultivation, she shivered and trembled.

Chapter 105: I, Qin Ying, Have Fallen!

Chu Xuan pointed his finger and transmitted a body tempering technique into Ding Yue's mind.

"I have imparted the Firmament Sword Body technique to you, which just so happens to be in line with your talent and aptitude. When you master this technique, your body will surge with vast sword intent, and divine techniques won't be able to hurt you."

"Thank you, Master!"

Ding Yue kowtowed three times respectfully.

The technique his master taught him was indeed extremely powerful.

When one reached the great success stage in this technique, divine techniques would not be able to harm him. Even if he just stood there without fighting back, the other party would not be able to hurt him.

It was too powerful!

Ding Yue was not as ignorant as before. After interacting with Wang Luo, he now knew that there were countless experts in the outside world. The Southern Region was just a small corner of this vast continent.

The Divine realm was the pinnacle of those in the nine zones and fifty regions. Moreover, divine realm experts were only spoken about in legends.

As far as most people knew, Heaven realm experts were the continent's top experts. Only the forces with Heaven realm experts were considered super factions.

After all, the Divine realm had only ever existed in legends, and seemed nigh unreachable.

...

Chu Xuan pointed with his finger again and transmitted another body refining technique to Wang Luo.

"I have taught you the nine-turn body tempering technique. Nine becomes one, and the body will transform nine times. When you succeed, divine weapons won't be able to harm you."

"Thank you, Master!"

Wang Luo kowtowed three times respectfully.

MYB0X N0 V EL

The body tempering techniques that Chu Xuan taught them were based on their individual talents.

These body tempering techniques were all rewards from the system.

Each one was extraordinary.

"You can also refine pills to aid your cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

There were countless resources in the pocket dimension, and the one thing it lacked the least was pill refining materials.

Wang Luo's current pill refining attainments were no longer the same as before. He had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Even before he had managed to reconnect his pill meridians, his understanding of the Dao of alchemy had already been very high. It was just that he was limited by his body's flaws and could not make full use of his talent and knowledge.

Now that his body had recovered and he had refined the Heavenly Void Fire, he was like a fish in water. He could refine spirit pills effortlessly, and each and every one of them was of high quality.

Wang Luo's talent in alchemy was greater than Chu Yun's, which made sense…

After all, he was born with pill meridians.

When it came to alchemy, his talent was extraordinary.

After passing on the body tempering techniques to the two of them, he sent the two of them off to continue cultivating.

Chu Xuan continued to observe Qin Ying.

He was considering whether or not he should give a body tempering technique to Qin Ying.

He had in his possession a very fierce body tempering technique that Qin Ying yearned for.

If he succeeded in cultivating it, Qin Ying might turn into a muscular beauty.

Chu Xuan felt goosebumps when he imagined Qin Ying's valiant appearance; her beauty combined with the bulging muscles on her body.

Her female body and male soul were already enough to make people uncomfortable. If you threw in bulging muscles as well, it was simply…

Chu Xuan was considering what benefits he could obtain if he taught Qin Ying the body tempering technique.

Would the system reward him?

Unlikely.

However, if he nurtured a muscular beauty, there was a chance that the system would reward him for such a unique achievement.

The other key point to consider was…

What could Qin Ying give him if he taught him the body tempering technique?

Would Chu Xuan take him in as a disciple?

No way!

He was not the kind of disciple he wanted.

Would he do it just for fun, so that he could watch Qin Ying rise up amidst the Luo family's resistance?

Chu Xuan felt that he should continue to observe Qin Ying for a period of time.

At the very least, he had to figure out what had happened during the battle in the Asura Ancient Land.

Thinking this, Chu Xuan cast his gaze toward the World-purifying Glazed Pagoda. Mo Tuo had not been fully converted yet, but he was about to.

This top expert of the demon race had participated in the battle back then. As such, he should know quite a few secrets about it, right?

The conversion progress of Mo Tuo was a little slow.

From this, it could be seen that when Mo Tuo was at his peak, he had been very strong. Even though his soul was already weakened, his willpower was still strong, which allowed him to hold on until now.

Chu Xuan contemplated throwing him into the second level of the pagoda, but quickly gave up on the idea.

The power of the second level was a little too strong. He was worried that Mo Tuo's soul would not be able to withstand it and would collapse.

If he had a physical body, Chu Xuan would have thrown him into the second level immediately.

Qin Ying had been chasing Zhu Yuanbai for three days.

It seemed like he would not rest until he was dead.

Zhu Yuanbai was afraid.

He was not really afraid of Qin Ying killing him, but rather that she seemed to be really angry. It was an unprecedented feeling.

He was afraid that Qin Ying would ignore him in the future, stop seeing him, and stop accepting his gifts.

If he could not see his cousin, he would feel that life no longer held any meaning.

"Cousin, I was wrong. It's all my fault."

"Don't chase me anymore, cousin. I'll try my best to find you a body tempering technique, okay?"

"Cousin, I'll definitely find you a very, very strong and fierce body tempering technique."

Qin Ying stopped chasing after him.

"Okay, those were your own words. If you can't do it, don't ever appear in front of me again in the future!"

"Of course, cousin, I will definitely live up to my words."

Zhu Yuanbai promised.

Watching Zhu Yuanbai leave, Qin Ying looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

How sad!

I, Qin Ying, have fallen.

For the sake of the body tempering technique, I actually had to rely on my beauty to bewitch someone!

Qin Ying did not return to the Luo family's territory.

Staying in the Luo family's territory made him feel uncomfortable.

When the servants met, they would talk about young men and young ladies, which made him feel very aggrieved.

As for Mother Luo, she would come over to talk to him about women's affairs every now and then, afraid that he was still possessed by the idea of becoming a man.

Qin Ying planned to find a quiet place to cultivate and increase his strength as soon as possible.

The Southern Region's Asura Ancient Land would open soon.

That great battle had caused the battlefield to fall into a spatial crack. Once the laws of Heaven and Earth were restored in the Southern Region, the battlefield would reappear.

The people from back then would likely also reappear one by one.

The things in the Asura Ancient Land absolutely could not be allowed to fall into the hands of their enemies.

In his previous life, he was not able to defeat their scheme, but he could do so in this life!

Suddenly, two black clothed figures appeared.

Both were at the fifth level of the Emperor realm.

Qin Ying frowned and turned to glance at them, but did not speak.

He tried his best not to speak whenever possible.

In his previous life, he loved roaring to intimidate his enemies. For this reason, he specifically cultivated the roaring technique.

However, in this life, he did not like to roar anymore.

His roars came out as tender squeaks. He could not stand it.

The black-robed men did not say a word either. Brandishing their sabers, the black-robed men activated their emperor domains and charged toward Qin Ying.

Qin Ying held the halberd up. His eyes gleamed coldly as he activated his domain.

Boom!

The halberd swept out and, with the support of his domain, he blasted away the black-robed men's attack.

He frowned.

Who were these people who were trying to assassinate him?

Were they his enemies from back then?

No, no one knew that he was reincarnated into the Luo family.

In that case, were they enemies of the Luo family?

The Luo family was famous in the Eastern Zone and possessed a high status. Which force would dare to assassinate a direct descendant of the Luo family?

He had not offended anyone, had he?

The only one he recalled offending was the one who had come to propose marriage and had been beaten up by him until he cried for his mother and father.

However, the other party's faction would never dare to do such a thing.

Besides, that faction was still on good terms with the Luo family, so it was highly improbable for them to be the culprits behind this attack.

Otherwise, if they were to be exposed, their entire faction would be exterminated.

Killing the direct descendants of the human king's family was a great crime. It would not be tolerated by the human race!

Even as Qin Ying analyzed this situation, the halberd's attacks never stopped, sweeping ferociously toward his opponents.

Although he was weaker than the other party by two small realms, he was still not at a disadvantage.

His halberd attacks, supported by his domain power, were incomparably tyrannical.

Chu Xuan watched the fight and could not help but sigh. He felt that Qin Ying was very compatible with that body tempering technique.

From his fighting style, it could be seen that Qin Ying was an incomparably wild and fierce person. Moreover, the way he utilized his domain power had reached an extremely high level.

Report chapter

Chapter 106: Assassination

Qin Ying's use of domain power had exceeded the comprehension of an ordinary emperor realm expert. It had reached a very high level, to the point that it had even exceeded what ordinary Supreme realm experts could comprehend.

His domain power could actually be separated. A part of it was attached to the halberd, while another part was attached to the attack.

This was unlike an ordinary emperor realm expert, who would use their own body as the center as they expanded their domain power to envelop the enemy or resist their enemy's own domain power.

Qin Ying's domain seemed to be separated and dispersed. Despite that, it seemed to be more effective and powerful.

A single strike imbued with his domain power would be able to break through the opponent's domain energy, causing a flaw to appear in their defenses.

Chu Xuan watched the battle unfold and gained a new understanding of domain power.

So, domain power could be used in such a way…

As expected, he was lacking in terms of battle experience.

Qin Ying was already gradually suppressing the enemy. Throughout the entire fight, he had not uttered a single word.

The black-robed men did not speak either. Occasionally, they would exchange glances with each other. It was obvious that they were anxious.

They had not expected Qin Ying to be so strong.

...

Despite having the advantage of being two minor realms stronger, and there being two of them, Qin Ying was the one suppressing them in combat.

Qin Ying frowned slightly. Up until now, there were still no signs of the Luo family's Dao protectors.

Was being tested, or had they been lured away by someone?

He could not continue wasting time here.

Qin Ying's halberd slashed down from the sky, and the domain around him suddenly condensed. Like a huge mountain, it smashed down alongside the halberd.

Boom!

The two black-robed men frantically blocked. However, Qin Ying's halberd did not stop moving, and each additional strike stacked onto the previous one.

After three consecutive strikes, the black-clothed men could no longer withstand the violent force of the attack, and their domain power started to display signs of collapsing.

Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.

Qin Ying's gaze was ice-cold, and his violent aura surged as he continued to attack ferociously with his halberd.

His domain power solidified as he attacked, gradually transforming itself into the shape of a halberd, striking down.

Puchi!

The black-clothed men spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

Qin Ying's even more violent attacks followed closely.

If this attack landed, the black-clothed men would be heavily injured; they might even die.

Right at this moment, a cold gleam of light suddenly flashed by.

It seemed to appear out of thin air, targeting Qin Ying's back.

"Hmph!"

Qin Ying did not panic in the face of danger. He snorted coldly and continued to strike with the halberd in one hand. He brandished his other fist and punched toward the cold gleam of light that was heading toward him.

His pink fist turned golden as he lashed out.

Ding!

The attack was blasted away. However, more attacks soon came from all directions.

A strong sense of danger enveloped Qin Ying. He no longer cared about killing the two black-clothed men. He pulled his halberd back, and his domain enveloped the area.

At this moment, a cold gleam of light suddenly appeared behind him.

It was too close!

Qin Ying's expression changed. He twisted his waist and dodged as fast as he could, but he was a step too late.

Rip!

The clothes under his ribs were torn, and a bloody scar appeared on his fair skin.

Qin Ying was furious. His aura surged, and a violent aura swept out in all directions.

He was about to use his most domineering technique.

Then, he suddenly stopped, and his aura stopped rising.

Qin Ying felt extremely aggrieved.

He was now a woman!

In his previous life, whenever he used this technique, his clothes and armor would be torn to pieces, and he would rely solely on his domineering body to defend against countless attacks.

However, he was a woman now! There was no way he could fight naked!

He had a powerful domineering technique, but could not use it.

It was a mistake!

He should have taken a top-tier spiritual armor from the Luo family's treasury and put it on, so as to avoid exposing his body when he used the technique.

Qin Ying was now completely surrounded.

Four black-clothed men, who were wielding slender longswords, were advancing toward him.

The two black-clothed men who had attacked first and attracted his attention had already fled to nurse their injuries.

Qin Ying glanced coldly at these four black-clothed men. Their figures seemed illusory, as if they could disappear and conceal themselves at any time.

Assassins!

These were cultivators who specialized in assassination techniques.

Each one had reached the third level of the Emperor realm.

It seemed like they had meticulously set up this trap Qin Ying.

Qin Ying frowned as he wondered if this matter had anything to do with Zhu Yuanbai.

However, when he reviewed Zhu Yuanbai's actions, including from before the time he regained the memories of his previous life, he was certain that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Yuanbai.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanbai had no reason to assassinate him.

Unless, of course, he deliberately set up this trap to become the hero who came to save the damsel in distress?

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Ying's mood turned sour.

"I hope I'm overthinking things. If not, I'll chop you up sooner or later!"

Qin Ying gritted his teeth.

The figures of the black-clothed men began to fade away.

Qin Ying snorted coldly. When he had risen to power in his previous life, he had survivved countless assassination attempts. He had found himself in situations more dangerous than this one countless times.

Qin Ying was very experienced in dealing with assassins who were good at hiding.

Just as the assassins were about to hide, Qin Ying pounced and charged at one of the assassins.

His halberd struck the assassin fiercely.

Ding!

The slender sword in the assassin's hand diverted the blow and his body disappeared.

The other three people hid the moment Qin Ying attacked.

"Petty tricks!"

Qin Ying snorted coldly.

Was concealing themselves like this a big deal?

Back then, when he had risen to power, he had faced countless assassinations. He was also good at concealing himself.

In fact, he was better at it than most assassins.

He had once used this to kill many assassins.

Qin Ying continued to charge forward. His halberd swept out in all directions. Even though he could not see the enemy, he continued to attack.

Boom!

Smoke and dust flew everywhere. The trees turned into dust and the ground below him cracked.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Qin Ying's figure also disappeared.

"He indeed has some tricks up his sleeve."

Chu Xuan was glued to the image projection. His eyes shone with golden light. Regardless of whether it was Qin Ying or the assassins, there was no hiding from his sight.

Heavenly Golden Divine Eyes!

Qin Ying was indeed famous for good reason. Within an extremely short period of time, he determined the advantageous position, concealed his figure, and restrained his aura.

He was even better at hiding himself than the four assassins.

Now, it was down to who was more patient.

Generally speaking, assassins were more patient, especially when they held the advantage.

However, Qin Ying was not an ordinary Emperor realm expert. He was a direct descendant of the Luo family. The longer they dragged things out, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

Once the experts of the Luo family arrived, the assassins would definitely die and the assassination would fail.

In terms of patience, Chu Xuan felt that Qin Ying was superior.

After all, he was an old monster with rich experience.

In his previous life, when he rose to power, he had likely experienced countless dangers like this.

As expected, the assassins could no longer hold themselves back. One of them deliberately revealed a flaw, trying to bait Qin Ying into making a move.

However, Qin Ying was an experienced person.

How could he be fooled by such tricks?

He held back and did not make a move.

In the end, all four assassins revealed themselves and looked at each other.

Could it be that Qin Ying was not hiding nearby, but had used a secret technique to escape?

It was very possible.

The assassination had failed.

Just as the assassins were about to leave, Qin Ying made his move.

He swung his large halberd at them.

This attack could be said to represent Qin Ying's current full strength.

Boom!

The assassin who was attacked did not even have the time to muster a defense before he was killed by the halberd.

After Qin Ying's first attack succeeded, his second attack swept toward the second assassin.

Boom!

He dealt a heavy blow to the other party. Not wanting to give the other party the chance to conceal himself, he pounced forward and launched another attack.

Boom!

Chapter 107: The Powerful Human King's Family

Qin Ying counter-attacked aggressively, destroying the bodies of the two assassins. Only their soul managed to escape, and even then in a severely injured state.

The other two assassins escaped.

After his surprise attack succeeded, Qin Ying also quickly left.

The situation was unclear, and he did not want to risk falling into danger.

Chu Xuan sighed. As expected of a reincarnated old monster, his methods were brilliant and ruthless.

The two assassins seemed to have escaped with their souls, but in reality, Qin Ying had already used a secret technique to trace the aura of the other party's souls.

This was for the purpose of tracking them down.

He was planning to find out where these assassins were from.

Seeing how skilled Qin Ying was at using that technique, it was likely that he had used it many times in the past.

A character who had almost unified the Northern Zone and Southern Region was not simple indeed.

The assassination attempt on Qin Ying enraged the Luo family. The Central Region of the Eastern Zone was thrown into a state of turmoil, and it seemed as though the incident would end up affecting the entire Eastern Zone.

...

This was the first time Chu Xuan witnessed the strength of a human king's family.

Not only did the Luo family send out their experts, but all the major powers in the Central Region received a letter from the human king's family, and promptly sent out their experts as well.

Qin Ying relied on the aura tracing technique he had placed on the souls to lead the Luo clan's experts to the location of the assassin's hideout. They continued to investigate the location.

Zhu Yuanbai was incensed.

He chased after the assassins everywhere; he was determined to find the mastermind behind all of this and take revenge for Qin Ying.

In the Central Region of the Eastern Zone, a storm was brewing and a great battle between Heaven realm experts broke out.

The might of the human king's family was once again revealed.

With their tyrannical and powerful strength, they killed a Heaven realm expert.

However, they were still unable to find the mastermind, and only eliminated that assassin organization.

They did not even know why Qin Ying had been targeted.

Chu Xuan finally understood why Qin Ying had chosen to reincarnate into the Luo family. Moreover, it was not as simple a matter as his soul being reborn. He directly underwent a rebirth and merged the Luo family's bloodline into his own.

He wanted to use the human king's family as a platform to develop and eventually return triumphantly to the Southern Region of the Northern Zone.

With the powerful strength and backing of the human king's family, Qin Ying might indeed be able to defeat his enemies and take revenge.

Seeing the strength of the human king's family, Chu Xuan's motivation was reignited. Even with his current strength as a sixth-level Supreme realm cultivator, he was still too weak.

Even if he reached the Heaven realm, it was nothing worth shouting about.

After all, above the Heaven realm, there was the legendary Divine realm.

The cultivation technique that Chu Xuan cultivated even surpassed the Divine realm, which meant that there was an even stronger realm above the Divine realm.

In the nine zones and fifty regions, the Desolate Ancient Zone was the one zone that was filled with mystery. It was likely that the Divine realm experts and above were all in the Desolate Ancient Zone.

Also, the Luo family was not the only human king family.

In addition, this was only considering the powerful forces the human race had. Other powerful races would also have their own super factions, such as the demon race.

After the assassination attempt, Qin Ying basically moved around within the Luo family's territory. The place he frequented the most was that same cliff.

The collapsed cliff had already been restored.

It was Zhu Yuanbai who had restored the cliff.

Qin Ying had been searching for a body tempering technique related to an overlord or tyrant. The body tempering technique that Zhu Yuanbai had found for him still lacked the domineering aura that he needed.

Without a strong physical body, he could not withstand the overlord technique of his previous life.

He had undergone rebirth, but he did not inherit the overlord body of his previous life, so he was unable to fully utilize the technique.

Chu Xuan did not appear either, as he was still unsure as to how to deal with Qin Ying.

The Great Qin Emperor was a famous figure who had once unified the Southern Region. However, that same person was now a valiant beauty.

After finding out that he was a man inside, Chu Xuan found the contrast between his beautiful face and male soul quite strange.

Chu Xuan had not decided yet. Should he try to trick him into becoming an in-name disciple, or just an errand boy?

Trying to trick him into becoming an errand boy seemed to be disrespectful of his previous achievements.

However, having such a strange in-name disciple under him would also feel quite weird.

Before he decided how to treat Qin Ying, Chu Xuan would not teach him the body tempering.

Chu Xuan was also waiting for Mo Tuo's conversion process to finish so that he could better understand Qin Ying's character. After all, Mo Tuo was an expert from the same generation as Qin Ying.

He was an expert from the demon race who had invaded the Southern Region, so he likely knew about the Great Qin Emperor to some extent.

A month later, Ding Yue and Wang Luo had been cultivating in the pocket dimension for over thirty years.

Their strength had increased greatly.

Their body tempering cultivation had also improved quite a bit.

Wang Luo had completed his training.

Su Xian'er's strength had also risen to the peak of the truth realm, and she was in the process of breaking through to the Emperor realm.

Chu Xuan did not plan to let them break through to the Emperor realm in the pocket dimension. After all, it was just a pocket dimension.

They could still break through small realms inside there, but it would be better for them to break through a major realm in the real world.

Chu Xuan began to construct a special domain in the universe space. He directly circumvented the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region and instead guided the laws of the Great Dao into the special domain.

He used his soul to guide the Great Dao, making the laws in the universe space special domain perfect.

They would then be able to directly communicate with the laws of the Great Dao in the universe space and break through to the Emperor realm.

Only Chu Xuan had the ability to circumvent the laws of Heaven and Earth and directly communicate with the laws of the Great Dao to break through.

Breaking through to the Emperor realm by comprehending the laws of the Great Dao was undoubtedly better. As their cultivation levels increased, it would be easier for them to comprehend the Great Dao.

The power of their domains would naturally be stronger too.

Su Xian'er still needed some time to break through, and was waiting for the right opportunity to appear.

Ding Yue was already at the ninth level of the truth realm.

Wang Luo had also stepped into the first level of the truth realm.

After all, they had already cultivated in the pocket dimension for more than thirty years, and both were top-notch heaven's blessed, so their cultivation speed would naturally be fast.

Had it not been for the fact that they were constantly consolidating their foundations and spending a lot of time on body tempering, their cultivation speed would have been even faster.

The benchmark for a top-notch genius was the hundred-year Emperor realm.

Of these hundred years, most of the time was spent stuck just before the Emperor realm. Cultivators were constantly accumulating the cultivation while looking for an opportunity to break through.

Usually, geniuses would be able to break through to the peak of the truth realm in twenty to thirty years. The rest of the time was spent preparing to break through to the Emperor realm.

The Southern Region was barren, and the laws of Heaven and Earth here were incomplete. Therefore, cultivation in this region was slower. In the past, reaching the hundred-year truth realm benchmark was considered a top-notch genius in the Southern Region.

Now, as the laws of Heaven and Earth gradually recovered, the cultivation speed of everyone here was also increasing.

Chu Xuan also noticed that, as the process of recovery of the laws of Heaven and Earth progressed, it was easier for cultivators to comprehend the laws and break through realms.

The information from the Black Moon Tower had already indicated that the strength of the cultivators of the Southern Region was increasing.

This was especially true for the younger generation; their aptitude was better, their cultivation speed was faster, and it was easier for them to break through realms.

Su Xian'er was accumulating her foundation and waiting for an opportunity to break through, so she was spared the responsibility of organizing the information for Chu Xuan and briefing him.

Moreover, Chu Xuan had placed most of his attention on Qin Ying, so he was not too interested in the happenings around the South Province.

Qin Ying was bitterly cultivating, so there was not much to see nowadays.

Chu Xuan was bored, so he picked up a document detailing some important pieces of information from the Black Moon Tower and started reading.

"The ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain are about to open!"

"Bai Sheng Mountain is an ancient power. There was a Heaven realm expert presiding over it, but he was killed in the war and the sect was trapped in a spatial crack."

The information was about an ancient ruin that had recently appeared in the Southern Region.

The ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain.

The once powerful sect was trapped in a spatial crack after the war with the demons, and its inheritance was lost.

Now, as the laws of Heaven and Earth slowly recovered, the ancient ruins of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect had made its appearance!

Report chapter

Chapter 108: The Ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain

Chu Xuan's interest was piqued when he saw this information.

The appearance of the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain meant that a fortuitous encounter had appeared.

A large sect that once had a Heaven realm expert was trapped in a spatial crack. There should be an inheritance left behind in its ruins, right?

How could the various powers in the Southern Region not be tempted?

Chu Xuan continued to read the document.

The sects and empires of the Southern Region had already sent experts to the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain. They were waiting for the ruins to fully open before entering to compete for the inheritance and treasures.

Seeing as it was an ancient ruin of a powerful sect, there had to be emperor-level artifacts inside.

Perhaps there might even be Divine artifacts inside!

The Great Qin Dynasty's foundation was still a bit lacking. However, by cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain, coupled with the fact that the Qin, Zhao, and He families had digested the foundation left behind by their ancestors, they were able to send quite a few truth realm experts.

The strongest among them had already reached the seventh level of the truth realm.

Since the ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain had appeared, the Great Qin Dynasty had naturally participated. Moreover, they were cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain.

...

The Great Empress Qin Keyun even personally went to the border to take charge so that she could personally receive the treasures.

With the current situation in the Southern Region, Qin Keyun was already the strongest person below the Emperor realm.

The evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty were naturally unwilling to be left behind.

Dozens of sects and forces, big and small, gathered around the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain.

They were all waiting for the ruin to open.

Several battles had already taken place.

Several unity realm experts had fallen.

Naturally, people from the Black Moon Tower were also present.

How could they be absent from such a big event?

Chu Xuan decided to intervene. After all, participating in the exploration of the ruin might trigger a system reward inadvertently.

He could not leave the small courtyard, but he had disciples.

Ding Yue was a ninth-level truth realm cultivator. Even a half-step emperor realm expert might not be his match.

The power of the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was sufficient to kill those stronger than him.

Moreover, Ding Yue's Sword Dao talent was top-notch. His affinity with the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was perfect, which made it even more powerful.

Wang Luo was only at the first level of the truth realm, so he would not join in the fun for now.

Moreover, he was busy refining pills and tempering his body.

There was another most important reason behind this decision. Ding Yue was the son of fate of the Southern Region. In that sense, the treasures in the ancient ruins here were tailor-made for him.

It was also a stage for Ding Yue to become famous.

It was time for Ding Yue, the son of fate of the Southern Region, to show off.

The treasures in the ancient ruins might be very ordinary to Chu Xuan, and he would not care about them at all.

Ding Yue, who had his horizons broadened, probably would not care too much about them either.

However, they were still treasures. Even if they were given to the Chu family, it was better than giving them to someone else.

Chu Xuan summoned Ding Yue.

"Master!"

Ding Yue bowed respectfully.

Chu Xuan handed him the information and said, "Take a look."

Ding Yue took a look at the information, and his eyes flashed with a bright gleam. He became excited.

He had been betrayed by his childhood sweetheart and suffered humiliation from his fellow Nine Swords Mountain sect disciples. In the end, he was directly expelled and disappeared from sight in a sorry state.

He had been holding back his anger the whole time.

He had worked hard to cultivate and become stronger. He wanted nothing more than to show up in front of them and slap their faces!

He wanted to make those who looked down on him in the past feel regret!

How long had it been since he was expelled?

He was now at the ninth level of the truth realm. His comprehension of Sword Dao was so high that it was not an exaggeration to say that no one from Nine Swords Mountain could defeat him.

The sole exception to this was if there was an Emperor realm expert.

Nine Swords Mountain was famous for its Sword Dao, and it was the number one sword sect in the Southern Region. As an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, he would use his Sword Dao to defeat Nine Swords Mountain and shove their faces into the ground.

Just thinking about it made him excited.

He had been waiting for this opportunity and, now, the time had finally come.

The Bai Sheng Mountain ancient ruin had appeared, and all of the major forces of the Southern Region were participating in its exploration. All of the famous experts of the Southern Region would make their appearance here.

He, Ding Yue, wanted to subdue Nine Swords Mountain in front of all of the major forces of the Southern Region.

Ding Yue believed that he had almost figured out the second stage of the way of the sword.

It was time to test his Sword Dao.

"Master, I want to go to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin!" Ding Yue said respectfully.

"Go then. With your strength, there aren't many who can rival you in the Southern Region." Chu Xuan nodded.

After a brief pause, he said, "Sword cultivators are unyielding. You were once expelled. It's time for you to make a name for yourself and take back your dignity."

"The major forces of the Southern Region will definitely restrict some people from participating in the exploration of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin. As an itinerant cultivator, you will definitely be obstructed."

"However, all obstructions are meaningless in the face of absolute strength. I won't make any arrangements for you. You will find a way to enter the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin by yourself."

What Chu Xuan wanted was for Ding Yue to show off at the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin and slap everyone's faces.

If his disciple made a name for himself and did well, would he trigger the system's reward?

The probability of this was very high.

"Yes, Master!"

Ding Yue was extremely excited.

Chu Xuan reminded him again, "The treasures inside the ruin might be ordinary, but you shouldn't let others have them. If you encounter them, you can fight for them. It's up to you."

"Don't worry, Master. As long as I want it, no one can take it away," Ding Yue said seriously.

"Go."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Master!"

Before Ding Yue left, he ran into the pocket dimension and asked Wang Luo for some pills.

After all, he had to face a lot of battles, and might even be ganged up upon.

Naturally, he had to prepare some healing pills, spiritual power recovery pills, and other kinds of pills.

There were countless treasures inside the pocket dimension. Wang Luo's alchemy skills were excellent, and he could already refine emperor-level pills with his truth realm cultivation.

After taking the pills, he stored the divine sword into his body and left the Chu family's territory with a high-grade treasured sword, heading to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

Ding Yue had already successfully refined the divine sword given by Chu Xuan, but it was not easy to use it.

The divine sword was still a divine sword after all, and it had the ability to protect its master on its own volition. At critical moments, he could also rely on the divine sword to display its powerful strength.

This was his trump card.

The high-grade treasured sword was something that Ding Yue had been using for practice this entire time. After he nurtured it, it seemed to be on the verge of transforming into an emperor-level weapon.

After cultivating the Firmament Sword body, the sword intent in Ding Yue's body grew on its own. It was still a good distance from transforming and surging with vast sword intent, but it was sufficient to nurture the divine sword.

It was enough to transform a high-grade artifact into an emperor-level artifact. The only difference was that the time needed to nurture it.

Bai Sheng Mountain was located in the north of the Southern Region, at the center of a stretch of a barren mountain range.

This was where Bai Sheng Mountain's sect had once been located. During the great battle, Bai Sheng Mountain's sect had been trapped in a spatial crack.

The surrounding mountains had been worn down by the great battle. Thanks to that, they were barren and lifeless, devoid of any flora and fauna.

As time passed, traces of the great battle faded away, and vegetation had started to grow here in the past hundred years.

Even so, the vegetation was sparse, and the spiritual energy here was chaotic. There was no village or town within a ten thousand li radius of this place.

No demon beasts were willing to stay in such a place either.

The surrounding mountains were only filled with ordinary wild beasts.

A month ago, the illusory image of a ruin had suddenly appeared in the barren mountain range, immediately attracting the attention of cultivators.

According to records, this place had once been the headquarters of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect, and the appearance of a powerful sect's ruin naturally took the Southern Region by storm.

Countless factions had arrived, each wanting to obtain a great opportunity.

The few mountains closest to the ruin had already been occupied by the various factions.

Nine Swords Mountain and the Great Qin Empire each occupied a mountain.

The evil imperial court, Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, and the Great Qian Dynasty each occupied a mountain as well.

There were also other mountain peaks occupied by other major forces.

The weakest had experts at the third level of the truth realm and above.

Report chapter

Chapter 109: Gathering Of Experts

Currently, of the major forces of the Southern Region, only the Floating Flower Pavilion had yet to arrive.

The Floating Flower Pavilion was also the only all-female sect in the Southern Region. Its members were extremely powerful and the cultivation techniques they cultivated were extremely profound.

No faction dared to ignore the existence of the Floating Flower Pavilion.

Hence, even though no one from the Floating Flower Pavilion had arrived, all of the major factions tacitly left behind a mountain peak for them to occupy.

No one dared to occupy that mountain peak.

Whoever occupied it would be expelled and even killed as an example.

The women from that sect were beautiful, but also ruthless.

In fact, other than the three empires and three sects, the other powers were worried that their own mountain peak would be taken over by the Floating Flower Pavilion.

If the Floating Flower Pavilion took a fancy to their mountain peak, they would give it up immediately.

The mountains were not far from each other, and it was not a huge mountain range. It was just that some of the peaks were closer to Bai Sheng Mountain.

As for the quota to enter Bai Sheng Mountain, that had not been released yet. Once the Floating Flower Pavilion's experts arrived, the various factions would start discussing this matter.

...

The Great Qin Dynasty's mountain was adjacent to Nine Swords Mountain and the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain. It did not directly face the evil imperial court or the Great Qian Dynasty.

The leader of the Great Qian Empire was not the king of the Great Qian Dynasty, but rather a refined middle-aged man.

He was the Prime Minister of the Great Qian Dynasty, Liu Pingfeng, one of their three great half-step emperor experts.

Liu Pingfeng looked at the Great Qin Dynasty's mountain peak mockingly and said with a smile, "One of the three empires and three sects doesn't live up to its name. They don't even have a ninth-level truth realm cultivator."

Many people looked toward the Great Qin Dynasty's mountain peak when they heard that.

There were not many people from the Great Qin Dynasty present. After all, there were too few truth realm experts among their ranks. The only one who could show off was Qin Changfang, who was at the seventh level of the truth realm.

Everyone present knew that the Great Qin Dynasty's experts were primarily relying on Nine Swords Mountain to back them up.

On the top of the Great Qin Dynasty's mountain peak, Qin Changfang's expression was unsightly, but he did not exhibit any weakness. He sneered and said, "So what if you have three half-step emperor cultivators? Weren't all of you still defeated by the Great Qin Empress?"

Liu Pingfeng's expression darkened as he looked at the Evil King of the evil imperial court and said with a smile, "Evil King, in the past, there were only two empires and three sects in the Southern Region. Now that there's one more empire, do you think we should do something?"

This was a direct indication that they wanted to join forces with the evil imperial court to target the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Changfang's expression turned ashen.

Everyone looked at the Evil King.

The evil imperial court had been acting a little strange recently. The Evil King, including the old evil king, had actually reorganized the evil imperial court and used the law to safeguard the welfare of the lower echelons.

It was shocking.

It was unbelievable that a wicked cultivation country had stricter laws than the great Qian Empire.

Everyone believed that the Evil King and the old evil king had encountered problems with their brains because of their evil cultivation techniques.

Heretic cultivators were weird and eccentric, so it was not surprising that they had done such a ridiculous thing.

The Evil King raised his head arrogantly and looked down on Liu Pingfeng.

"Our evil imperial court has always been righteous. We will never bully the weak with numbers!"

Go to hell!

Everyone present cursed inwardly.

Heretic cultivators were talking about justice and righteousness…

What kind of joke was this?

Were not all those evil techniques that absorbed the blood essence of cultivators created by the Evil King's lineage?

The few evil commanders and evil generals behind the Evil King all remained silent. They had all gotten used to the Evil King's style.

They all believed that there was something wrong with the Evil King's and the old evil king's brains, and that they had deviated from the nature of heretic cultivators.

The little evil king was still normal, though.

Although he did not cultivate the evil techniques of the evil imperial court, his nature was truly evil. In terms of perversion and ruthlessness, there were not many people in the entire evil imperial court who could compare to him.

When the Evil King abdicated and the little evil king ascended to the throne, the evil imperial court would return to normal. They would just have to endure it for a while.

There was a limit to how long an Evil King could reign and they would normally not continue their term. No one knew where the evil kings would go after they abdicated.

It was very likely that they would leave the Southern Region and head to other regions to break through to the Emperor realm.

As for how one could leave the Southern Region, the only method was to rely on the Black Moon Pavilion but it would require a huge amount of resources.

Not many people had the ability to leave the Southern Region.

Qin Changfang let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that the Evil King's brain was damaged, as he would not ally himself with the Great Qian Dynasty.

The person presiding over Nine Swords Mountain here was not their sect master, Song Yiming, but an elder. He sat cross-legged on a large rock on the mountain peak and had a sword by his knee.

He was a half-step emperor cultivator.

First Elder Hong Fei sat atop the mountain peak of the Great Qin Dynasty.

There was a young man standing proudly on Nine Swords Mountain's peak. His handsome face attracted the attention of many young women.

"It's Ying Jiankong, the number one genius of Nine Swords Mountain."

"He's reached the ninth level of the truth realm. He's only about 50 years old, right?"

"It's said that he's the successor for the position of sect master of Nine Swords Mountain."

"You're wrong. Ying Jiankong has no intention of inheriting the position of sect master. He's focused on his Sword Dao and wants to be the strongest in Nine Swords Mountain."

Many people looked at the proud figure and discussed him animatedly.

Among the Nine Swords Mountain squad, there was a beautiful figure who never left Ying Jiankong's side.

The leader of the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain's exploration team was also a half-step emperor realm cultivator.

He looked very old, and his beard was red like a ball of fire.

Behind him, a beautiful figure was also staring at Ying Jiankong.

"Grandfather, the treasure of the Bai Sheng Mountain will definitely fall into brother Jiankong's hands," the woman said with an expression of infatuation.

"Perhaps. After the matter of this ancient ruin is over, I will choose a day to marry you and Jiankong," the red-bearded elder said.

"Yes, I'll leave this matter in grandfather's hands."

The woman said with a blushing face.

"I heard that he is very close to a junior sister of Nine Swords Mountain…"

The red-bearded elder frowned slightly.

"Grandfather, I know about her. Brother Jiankong didn't hide anything from me. Even if he marries her, at most, she would only be a concubine. Brother Jiankong is so powerful. It's normal for him to have many wives. It's not a big deal for him to marry a concubine. She can serve me."

The woman said indifferently.

The red-bearded elder did not speak further.

Boom!

The space around the mountain range shook.

Everyone looked over. A dilapidated structure was gradually appearing.

At this moment, the ruin looked like a mirage.

It would not be long before the ruin was completely opened.

"Why aren't the women from the Floating Flower Pavilion here yet?"

The Evil King was the first to display his impatience.

The others did not speak.

It was not wise to provide the Floating Flower Pavilion. After all, those women were petty and easily bore grudges.

Only the Evil King could behave so fearlessly.

He even cursed, "The women from the Floating Flower Pavilion are lacking in manners. If they don't come soon, then they shouldn't blame me if I catch a few of their girls to have some fun with some other day!"

The others continued to turn a blind eye to the matter and allowed the Evil King curse all by himself. After all, the relationship between the evil imperial court and the Floating Flower Pavilion was very poor.

The Evil King was not afraid of offending others either.

Others did not have any grudges with the Floating Flower Pavilion, so if they could avoid offending them, they would do their best not to. Those petty women were really not to be trifled with.

Suddenly, everyone looked in the direction of the mountain that had been left for the Floating Flower Pavilion.

They saw a figure holding a sword in his arms, climbing up the mountain step by step.

He seemed to only be a first-level profound realm cultivator.

In the eyes of many experts, he was an ant-like existence.

However, such a weakling actually climbed up the mountain belonging to the Floating Flower Pavilion, wanting to monopolize a mountain by himself?

What gave him the courage to do so?

Report chapter

Chapter 110: Woman, Stay Away From Me!

Ding Yue became the center of attention the moment he appeared.

He held his sword in his arms as he stood on the top of the uninhabited mountain peak. He turned a blind eye to the surrounding gazes.

He had hidden his cultivation and kept it at the first level of the profound realm, which made him appear to be very weak. It was as if anyone could crush him to death.

On the top of Nine Swords Mountain's peak, Ying Jiankong briefly glanced at Ding Yue. He frowned slightly and immediately stopped paying attention to him.

In his eyes, Ding Yue was just a piece of trash who had been expelled from Nine Swords Mountain.

A beautiful figure beside him also looked at Ding Yue and frowned. Her eyes were filled with disgust.

Ding Yue noticed Ying Jiankong and his childhood sweetheart looking at him.

However, at this moment, he felt nothing.

He had already broken through the first stage of the way of the sword. He had forgotten about his sweetheart!

As for the second stage, he believed that he should have reached it as well. He would not treat beautiful women any differently from ordinary people, and would not be swayed by their beauty.

Ding Yue was a weakling, at least on the surface.

...

There was no lack of busybodies in this world. Ding Yue had occupied the mountain peak reserved for the Floating Flower Pavilion, so someone immediately took it upon themselves to teach Ding Yue a lesson and curry favor with the Floating Flower Pavilion.

A figure flew toward Ding Yue from a mountain not far away.

"Kid, this is no place for someone like you. This is the territory reserved for the fairies of the Floating Flower Pavilion. An ant like you will dirty the eyes of the fairies. Come over and wait for the fairies of the Floating Flower Pavilion to punish you."

This person was a middle-aged third-level truth realm cultivator.

The third level of the truth realm was considered the weakest among those present from the surrounding big forces.

He raised his hand and tried to grab Ding Yue.

He wanted to crush all of the bones in Ding Yue's body but, at the same time, also wanted to keep him alive.

Everyone looked on coldly. No one stopped him.

A weak person coming here was akin to courting death.

Everyone thought that Ding Yue would end up in a miserable state but, in an instant, a cold gleam flashed by. The middle-aged man who attacked did not even have the chance to scream.

His body was split in half in mid-air and he died on the spot.

Ding Yue still held his sword in his arms and maintained the same posture as before. It looked like he had not even moved an inch.

Everyone's expressions turned cold.

This included the half-step Emperor realm experts present.

The sword gleam had been too fast. They had not been paying much attention to the situation just now, so even the half-step Emperor realm experts had failed to see where the sword gleam had come from.

Everyone naturally looked toward Nine Swords Mountain.

Floating Flower Pavilion's mountain was next to Nine Swords Mountain's peak.

Had an expert from Nine Swords Mountain made a move?

Was it the elder or Ying Jiankong?

"What a fast sword!"

The elder from Nine Swords mountain looked at Ding Yue with a cold gaze.

Ying Jiankong's pupils shrank and he looked shocked. Ding Yue was the one who attacked?

How was this possible?

The gorgeous woman next to him also looked at Ding Yue in disbelief.

She could not believe that the trash who had been expelled by Nine Swords Mountain actually possessed such strength.

Was he not only at the first level of the profound realm?

Seeing Nine Swords Mountain's reaction, everyone realized that the sword strike just now had not come from Nine Swords Mountain.

Instead, It was that young man who had struck.

How was that possible?

How old was he!

He was much younger than Ying Jiankong. At such a young age, he actually possessed such powerful strength?

He was also a Sword Dao cultivator. Given his age and strength, he should be even more terrifying than Ying Jiankong, right?

Who was he?

"Interesting. It seems like he obtained an opportunity and became a little stronger."

Ying Jiankong chuckled, "Trash will always be trash. Even if he relied on a fortuitous encounter to become stronger, this tiny bit of strength is his limit."

Everyone looked at Ying Jiankong.

He knew that young man?

Ding Yue sneered, "A piece of trash who only reached the ninth level of the truth realm at the age of 50 is trying to trash-talk me?"

The aura around his body surged, and the full extent of his ninth-level truth realm cultivation was revealed.

How old was Ding Yue?

Someone so young was already at the ninth level of the truth realm.

Moreover, his aura was so strong it made many of the veteran ninth-level truth realm experts present feel that they were inferior.

He was such a young ninth-level truth realm expert. Even if he had relied on a fortuitous encounter to advance his cultivation, his strength was still the real thing.

Although Ding Yue had cultivated inside the pocket dimension for more than thirty years, due to the pocket dimension's unique ability, there was a time difference between the time inside and outside. Therefore, Ding Yue's age was still calculated based on his age in the real world.

Ying Jiankong's expression darkened, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Ding Yue coldly looked at everyone present and sneered, "Do you think that I, Ding Yue, have obtained a great opportunity? Do you all want to snatch it from me?"

"Heh, are you all worthy?"

"The opportunity that I received is the opportunity to meet my master. In the eyes of my master, all of you are nothing but trash. Pieces of trash who are unworthy of my master!"

His words were arrogant, overbearing, and made everyone's expressions turn ugly.

However, no one tried to make a move. They were all thinking about and trying to figure out the identity of Ding Yue's master?

The fact that his master had been able to cultivate a ninth-level truth realm expert in such a short time was evidence of how powerful he was.

Emperor realm?

Did the Southern Region even have an Emperor realm cultivator?

Was his master an outsider?

Those major forces that knew some of the Southern Region's secrets frowned. At the moment, Emperor realm experts from other regions were not allowed to enter the Southern Region.

That person from the Black Moon Tower was special, and the Black Moon Tower was very powerful, which was why they made an exception to allow that person to enter the Southern Region.

At this moment, flower petals began to fall from the sky. Colorful flower petals fell from the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Everyone's spirits were roused. The people from the Floating Flower Pavilion had arrived.

As Ding Yue had occupied the Floating Flower Pavilion's mountain peak, many people perked up. There was probably going to be a good show to watch.

In the distance, a graceful figure walked on the air. As she walked over, step by step, beautiful petals followed her and scattered everywhere.

These petals were the manifestation of a type of spiritual power, and were not real petals.

They were created by the Floating Flower Pavilion's cultivation technique, and also happened to be the usual way they announced their arrival.

The person who came was graceful and incomparably beautiful.

"It's the Floating Flower Pavilion's Holy Maiden, Han Yingmeng!"

Many people cried out in surprise.

Some of the younger martial artists revealed looks of admiration and adoration.

Even Ying Jiankong's eyes lit up when he saw Han Yingmeng.

Only Ding Yue's eyes remained unwavering!

No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would not be able to distract him.

The second stage of the way of the sword dictated that one could not be distracted by a beautiful woman!

Ding Yue remembered it well, so no matter how many cries of admiration and adoration were heard from the surroundings, he did not even glance at Han Yingmeng.

Han Yingmeng walked over with a charming smile. As she listened to the cries of adulation and adoration coming from the surroundings, the smile on her face grew wider.

Step by step, she walked toward the mountain where Ding Yue was at.

That was the mountain assigned to the Floating Flower Pavilion.

Although there was already one person there, and his strength was not weak, she only thought that he was someone who was trying to curry favor with the Floating Flower Pavilion and help them occupy the mountain. Perhaps he was one of her admirers.

Ding Yue frowned.

Looking at Han Yingmeng who was walking over step by step, his heart felt gloomy.

"What is she trying to do? Is she deliberately trying to attract my attention?"

"She is smiling so brightly. Is she coming here to confuse me?"

"This woman is detestable. She must be trying to disturb my Dao heart and make me fall in love with her and halt my progress and insight into the way of the sword."

"I, Ding Yue, want to reach a realm where I have no woman in my heart,where I can draw my sword and kill gods. How can I be disturbed by a mere woman?"

Han Yingmeng had just placed one foot on the mountain peak when Ding Yue looked at her coldly and said, "Get lost, woman. Stay away from me!"

Chapter 111: Draw Your Sword!

Han Yingmeng was so angry that she almost puked blood!

The petals that were following her instantly disappeared.

The surroundings turned silent!

Everyone looked at Ding Yue.

He was the first…

The first person who dared to speak to Han Yingmeng like this!

He was also the first male cultivator who had ever told Han Yingmeng to get lost!

"You're asking me to get lost?"

Han Yingmeng was furious.

The Floating Flower Pavilion had allowed her to lead the way so that she could show off her elegance and charm to the thousands of experts present.

In fact, she had already achieved her goal.

...

At the moment she appeared, countless male cultivators had been mesmerized by her graceful figure and her peerless beauty.

However, unexpectedly, at the last moment, her hard work was destroyed by this young man's words.

Ding Yue's gaze remained cold as he looked straight at her and said, "Vicious woman, don't you dare think about messing with my sword heart. You can't confuse me or lead me astray. The sword is the only thing in my heart.There's no place for you here. Give up!"

Han Yingmeng was furious. 'Who were you f*cking calling vicious? Who was f*cking trying to confuse you?'

"You… you…"

Han Yingmeng's aura surged violently. She was so angry that her delicate body trembled. Her tender white fingers pointed at Ding Yue as her killing intent manifested itself.

She was the Holy Maiden of the Floating Flower Pavilion. She possessed outstanding talent and unparalleled beauty. Many men had fallen at her feet.

They were willing to go through the depths of hell for her.

She did not need to fight for any treasures personally. All she needed to do was to spread the word and men would come to her door trying to please and serve her.

For example, Song Pang, the only son of the sect master of Nine Swords Mountain, Song Yiming, had once traveled thousands of miles to deliver treasures to curry favor with her.

When had she ever been reprimanded like this?

"Scram. You can't seduce me. If you don't leave, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ding Yue's gaze was ice-cold as he stared fixedly at Han Yingmeng.

This woman, dressed in flowery clothes, had deliberately come overto his mountain peak. She definitely had ill intentions. There was no other reason why she would approach him out of the blue other than to seduce him?

"Hah, you would never have imagined that I, Ding Yue, had already achieved the second stage of the way of the sword. Your beauty cannot move me or cause my mind to wander. The only thing my heart contains is my Sword Dao!"

"You won't be able to mess with my sword heart!"

Han Yingmeng was this close to going crazy from anger. He dared to say that she had come here to seduce him?

This mountain peak belonged to the Floating Flower Pavilion!

This person must die!

Seeing Han Yingmeng being reprimanded like this, many people were furious. This was a good opportunity to curry favor with her.

However, before the others could make a move, Ying Jiankong walked over.

"Ding Yue, as an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, how dare you behave so arrogantly!"

"I, Ying Jiankong, would like to see what ability a piece of trash like you has!"

Everyone was stunned.

An expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain?

Trash?

Ding Yue was from Nine Swords Mountain, but had been expelled?

Was there a hole in the brains of those people from Nine Swords Mountain?

Such a talented person was actually expelled from Nine Swords Mountain?

That did not feel right…

Since Ying Jiankong called the other party a piece of trash, there had to be a story behind this situation.

Was Ding Yue's cultivation progress related to the opportunity he obtained?

Ying Jiankong landed beside Han Yingmeng and stared coldly at Ding Yue.

"Ding Yue, kneel down and kowtow to Holy Maiden Han. Beg her for forgiveness, and I'll let you off!"

Han Yingmeng calmed down slightly. Seeing Ying Jiankong stand up for her, she felt a little better.

She was quite popular, after all.

Look, even the top genius of Nine Swords Mountain was standing up for her.

Ding Yue looked at Ying Jiankong with disdain and sneered, "Ying Jiankong, your Sword Dao is lacking."

"Standing up for a woman who has nothing to do with you? What Sword are Dao you even cultivating?"

"Ying Jiankong, I originally thought that your Sword Dao might be worth something. However, now that I'm seeing it in person, both you and your Sword Dao are just trash."

"You actually stood up for a woman who seduced me. I, Ding Yue, am ashamed to be associated with you!"

"Master was right. There are thousands of sword cultivators in the world, but only a few are worthy of the Supreme Sword Dao!"

Ding Yue's face was filled with arrogance, as if he was saddened by the fact that there was not a single person worth discussing the Sword Daowith in the world.

Han Yingmeng was infuriated. Her tender white fingers pointed at Ding Yue as she screeched angrily, "Kill him for me. Kill him. He's gone too far!"

'B*stard! Where did you get your self-confidence from? How dare you insinuate that I, Han Yingmeng, would seduce you?'

"Ding Yue!"

Ying Jiankong pulled out his sword and the sound of the sword being unsheathed seemed to resonate in the sky.

His aura instantly skyrocketed, and it seemed as if his entire person had turned into a murderous sword.

Everyone was shocked. Ying Jiankong was indeed worthy of his status as the top genius of Nine Swords Mountain.

His comprehension of the Sword Dao had already reached such a state.

Although he was only at the ninth level of the truth realm, ordinary half-step emperor realm cultivators might not be a match for him.

The biggest winner of this trip to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin would probably be Nine Swords Mountain.

Among the younger generation present, not one was his match.

This included the Holy Maiden of the Floating Flower pavilion, Han Yingmeng.

Han Yingmeng's expression turned serious. Ying Jiankong's strength had increased again.

The red-bearded elder of the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain was very pleased. This was his future grandson-in-law.

"I, Ying Jiankong, would like to experience just how outstanding your Sword Dao is then!"

"Draw your sword!"

Han Yingmeng's figure fluttered as she retreated. Once the battle started, she would be affected if she remained in close proximity to Ying Jiankong.

Ding Yue was still hugging his sword as he coldly looked at Ying Jiankong.

This was the person who had once belittled him to the point that he felt useless. He had fallen into the depths of despair and suffered all sorts of humiliating insults and abuse. His childhood sweetheart had also left him because of this person.

Now, it was finally time to step on this insufferably arrogant genius of Nine Swords Mountain and beat him to the ground.

Nine Swords Mountain will soon know that I, Ding Yue, possess an unparalleled Sword Dao!

'I, Ding Yue, will have no woman in my heart. When I draw my sword, it will slay a god!'

'One day, I will wield my sword and slay gods. I will reach the pinnacle of the Supreme Sword Dao!'

Ying Jiankong's heart was boiling with anger. Ding Yue's contemptuous attitude had aroused his fury.

As the number one genius of Nine Swords Mountain, he had always been invincible among those in the same realm ever since he started cultivating.

Not one person in the same realm had ever been able to defeat him.

This would not be the first time that he had crossed one or two small realms to kill his enemies.

As for Ding Yue, he actually looked down on him so much that he did not even bother to unsheathe his sword.

"Arrogant!"

Ying Jiankong took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

His sword vibrated.

A cold gleam flashed, and his sharp aura revealed itself, reducing the few plants on the mountain to dust.

A sword gleam appeared in the sky.

All of the experts present felt a chill run down their spine as they stared at Ying Jiankong's sword.

Too powerful!

Liu Pingfeng's expression turned heavy. Nine Swords Mountain was too powerful, and it was likely that the Great Qian Dynasty would have to make concessions because of this.

Otherwise, the Great Qian Dynasty would not give way on account of the Great Qin Empress alone.

The Great Qin Dynasty would not have been able to establish themselves and stabilize their territory either.

Everyone was amazed by Ying Jiankong's strike. He was indeed worthy of being the number one disciple of Nine Swords Mountain in the Southern Region.

None of the half-step Emperor realm experts would dare to underestimate him after seeing this strike.

Ding Yue was dead for sure!

They were both at the ninth level of the truth realm, but their strengths were vastly different.

No matter how strong Ding Yue's Sword Dao was, could it surpass Nine Swords Mountain?

Nine Swords MountainIt was the number one sword sect in the Southern Region.

Their legacy had been passed down since ancient times.

Suddenly, all of the experts sensed an unremarkable sword gleam flash by and disappear.

Ying Jiankong's sharp sword gleam shattered, and the unparalleled sword strike disappeared without a trace.

A gentle breeze blew past, and the experts felt that the gust of wind had brought with it an unprecedented sharpness, as if it was going to slice a person in half.

It was actually a thread of sword intent!!

Report chapter

Chapter 112: Defeating A Chosen One With A Single Sword

A deathly silence ensued.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Ying Jiankong had been defeated!

His sword-wielding hand hung by his side, and blood gushed out from his shoulder, dyeing his clothes red.

His facial expression was lifeless, as if unable to accept this result.

On the other hand, Ding Yue still held his longsword and stood proudly.

He stood alone in the midst of the experts and looked down on them.

Gulp!

Even the half-step Emperor realm experts present were stunned.

That sword strike had been too fast!

It was so fast that they only caught a brief glimpse of it before the sword was sheathed again.

...

They did not even see clearly that sword strike. By the time they blinked, Ying Jiankong had already been defeated.

Liu Pingfeng's eyes flashed with greed as he stared at Ding Yue. He wanted nothing more than to rope him over to the Great Qian Dynasty's side.

As an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, how could he not hate the Nine Swords Mountain?

Liu Pingfeng could use him to pin down Nine Swords Mountain.

Even though he was a ninth-level truth realm cultivator, defeating Ying Jiankong with one strike meant that he was a threat to even half-step Emperor realm cultivators.

To be honest, Liu Pingfeng knew that he had no chance of beating Ding Yue in a fight.

The people from the other forces were also having various thoughts.

Nine Swords Mountain's elder, who was sitting cross-legged on a big rock, stood up and looked at Ding Yue with a serious expression.

Nine Sword Mountain's number one disciple, Ying Jiankong, had actually lost to an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain.

This was undoubtedly a ruthless slap on Nine Swords Mountain's face.

It would even become a joke in the cultivation world, that Nine Swords Mountain was blind and had expelled a true peerless genius!

Ying Jiankong's lips trembled with disbelief. After a long while, he raised his head and stared at Ding Yue.

"I lost? That's impossible. You must have used some kind of secret treasure!"

"Ha!"

Ding Yue smiled contemptuously. "You can't accept your loss?"

"I used a secret treasure?"

"Did you even see my sword strike?"

Clang!

A sword gleam flashed past. Before Ying Jiankong could react, a sword was already pressed against his throat.

Fast!

It was so fast that he could not react in time.

Ying Jiankong's face turned ashen.

He had really lost!

He had lost to an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, who he had regarded as a useless piece of trash.

How ridiculous was this?

He would eventually be treated as a joke in the cultivator world!

"Ding Yue, stop!"

A woman angrily rebuked him from the top of Nine Swords Mountain's peak.

Ding Yue's heart did not waver at all. He did not even turn his head. He completely ignored that angry rebuke.

At this moment, he realized even more deeply that the three stages of the way of the sword that his master had imparted to him were extremely profound!

The person he loved would only bring him harm!

It was indeed true!

Just look! She had rebuked him angrily.

If he had not forgotten about his sweetheart, he would definitely have felt cold, sad, indignant, and distracted after being rebuked like this.

Turning his head back to look at that person in this situation would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous, and might even get him killed!

Hmph!

'I, Ding Yue, have already broken through the first stage of the way of the sword and have forgotten about my sweetheart!'

'Trying to mess with my heart? Dream on!'

Ding Yue stared at Ying Jiankong and said, "Do you know why you lost to me?"

"Why?"

Ying Jiankong looked at him blankly.

"Because you have a woman in your heart!"

Ying Jiankong: "???"

Han Yingmeng: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Everyone was stunned. Ying Jiankong had indeed lost to you, but what did that have to do with a woman?

Could it be that he had stolen your childhood sweetheart?

Ding Yue sheathed his sword and looked at Ying Jiankong with disdain. "A woman will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword!"

Ying Jiankong: "???"

Han Yingmeng: "???"

Everyone: "???"

"What does this have to do with a woman?" Ying Jiankong took a deep breath and asked.

He felt that Ding Yue was mocking him.

He was definitely being mocked for having stolen Ding Yue's childhood sweetheart, yet being defeated by him in the end.

"This is the difference between you and me. This is the reason why you are unable to comprehend the Supreme Sword Dao."

"You have a woman in your heart, and you have a woman by your side. Your heart is burdened and is full of hesitation. As such, your sword is slow and not fierce enough. Therefore, you lost."

Ding Yue held his sword in his arms and looked down at him.

Ying Jiankong was silent for a moment.

Was that really the case?

Was it because Han Yingmeng was by his side? Did he not display his full strength when he attacked to avoid accidentally hurting her?

It was possible!

With this thought in mind, Ying Jiankong turned his head to look at Han Yingmeng and said, "Move further away from me. I will try again!"

Han Yingmeng: "???"

Her pretty face turned red with anger. What did Ying Jiankong mean by that?

Was he implying that she was a hindrance?

B*stard!

She glared hatefully at Ding Yue. It was all this b*stard's fault. He had gone too far!

Her graceful figure fluttered as she retreated.

Ying Jiankong took out some medicinal pills and consumed them to recover his energy and heal his injuries.

Ding Yue just continued looking at him indifferently, waiting for him to make his second attempt.

He did not want to kill Ying Jiankong.

There was no meaning in killing him.

He wanted to become a huge barrier to Ying Jiankong's Sword Dao. He would make Ying Jiankong hate him, but be completely helpless. The latter would want nothing more than to kill him, but would be completely powerless to do nothing about it.

He wanted to become Ying Jiankong's inner demon.

Every time he recalled that the piece of trash who he had once humiliated had left him far behind, and that no matter how he chased after him, he would never reach him.

He would live in torment daily, wallowing in self-mockery and self-pity.

After half a day, Ying Jiankong's injuries had basically healed.

His strength had once again recovered to its peak.

In addition, the rest of the Floating Flower Pavilion's exploration team.

Their leader was a beautiful woman who was also a half-step Emperor realm expert.

Looking at the mountain peak that was occupied by Ding Yue, her expression darkened. She was about to make a move to expel Ding Yue.

Han Yingmeng hurriedly stopped her.

Ding Yue was too powerful. If the Floating Flower Pavilion offended such a strong man with endless potential, there would be endless trouble in the future.

It was not the only mountain peak there, after all.

Moreover, even if she attacked, she might necessarily be able to beat Ding Yue.

The half-step Emperor realm elder of Nine Swords Mountain did not attack either.

It was precisely because he was not confident.

Otherwise, he would have made a move long ago to eliminate Ding Yue. As an expelled disciple, he was a future threat to the safety of Nine Swords Mountain.

The Floating Flower Pavilion chased away one of the other forces and occupied the mountain next to the one Ding Yue was on.

At this moment, Ying Jiankong drew his sword again.

His aura was condensed but contained.

He was like a sharp sword that had not been unsheathed.

He was not in a hurry to make a move.

Even though Ding Yue was simply holding the longsword in his arms and ignoring him, he forced him to calm down.

Impatience would only confuse his heart.

"This time, I won't lose so easily to you!"

Ying Jiankong was filled with confidence.

Ding Yue was still looking at him with contempt.

As the wind blew past, the mountain peak where Ding Yue was at was suddenly enveloped by a strong killing intent.

"That's the sword intent of the One Sword technique of Nine Swords Mountain!"

Liu Pingfeng's expression became solemn.

"Sword intent!"

The Evil King's expression was solemn as well.

Ying Jiankong was condensing his sword intent in preparation to display the One Sword technique, which was Nine Swords Mountain's signature technique!

One Sword technique!

After using it, his entire body would enter a state of weakness, and he would need to rest for a period of time to recover.

However, in return, this sword was extremely powerful!

In the same realm, no one had been able to block the One Sword technique of Nine Swords Mountain!

Moreover, Ying Jiankong was constantly gathering power and condensing sword intent.

The longer he did, the greater the power of this sword.

This was not the One Sword technique that was normally used in combat.

This was its true maximum strength.

Report chapter

Chapter 113: Sword Intent Manifestation

Ying Jiankong was gathering his power and condensing his sword intent.

On the other hand, Ding Yue was still holding his treasured sword and standing proudly there with a disdainful attitude.

Judging from their attitude toward the duel, it was obvious who was the superior one!

The expression of the Nine Swords Mountain elder was extremely grave. Looking at Ding Yue's disdainful attitude, his heart began to sink.

Even if Ying Jiankong used the One Sword technique, he might not be able to beat Ding Yue.

Victory and defeat seemed to have been decided.

There was no suspense left in this fight.

What was left to see was whether Ying Jiankong's One Sword technique could injure Ding Yue.

He would use this strike to determine Ding Yue's actual strength.

If he could kill him…

The Nine Swords Mountain elder would not miss that golden opportunity to attack. How could an expelled disciple not harbor hatred toward Nine Swords Mountain?

...

Liu Pingfeng became more and more determined to get Ding Yue to join the Great Qian Dynasty.

The stronger Ding Yue was, the more beneficial he would be for the Great Qian Dynasty if they managed to rope him in.

With Ding Yue holding down Nine Swords Mountain, the Great Qian Dynasty would be able to encroach on the Great Qin Dynasty's territory.

Without the support of Nine Swords Mountain, Qin Keyun alone would not be able to monitor such a large territory.

Over on the Nine Swords Mountain's peak, a beautiful woman was staring at Ding Yue with hatred!

It was all his fault for making brother Jiankong lose his composure and damaging his reputation!

What a hateful fellow!

Similarly, over on the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain's peak, the purple-clothed woman beside the red-bearded old man had an anxious expression on her face.

"Grandfather, can brother Jiankong snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?"

The red-bearded old man's expression was solemn. Although he really wanted to comfort his granddaughter, no matter how he looked at it, Ying Jiankong had no chance of winning.

In fact, it was likely that his attack would not even threaten Ding Yue.

The latter was too calm. He still held the treasured sword in his arms, looking infinitely arrogant and disdainful.

Without strength, only a fool would be so arrogant to face Ying Jiankong's One Sword technique like that.

Since he was clearly not a fool, it meant that he had absolute confidence!

Before Ding Yue appeared, he had believed his grandson-in-law to be the number one expert of the younger generation in the Southern Region.

After Ding Yue appeared, Ying Jiankong's fame seemed to dim.

Ying Jiankong had gathered his power to its peak state. His sword intent was fully condensed, causing his entire body to emit a sharp sword intent.

Cracks appeared on the soil and rocks around him as the sword intent eroded the ground under his feet.

"Ding Yue, how dare you belittle me! You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Ying Jiankong raised his sword and pointed. Surging sword intent and aura instantly gathered on the tip of his sword.

His sword seemed to be capable of splitting the world apart.

The half-step emperor realm experts present all had solemn expressions.

The One Sword technique of Nine Swords Mountain was too powerful.

Not to mention that Ying Jiankong had gathered his power for so long and condensed his sword intent into the sword, allowing it to reach the pinnacle of its strength.

Regardless of whether it was Liu Pingfeng or the Evil King, both knew that it would not be easy to receive this sword strike.

They might even be slightly injured.

Ying Jiankong was at the ninth level of the truth realm, yet his One Sword technique was already this powerful.

How powerful would the Nine Swords Mountain's elder, who was at the half-emperor realm, be?

Everyone stared at Ding Yue.

They wanted to see how he would receive this sword strike.

The purple-clothed woman clenched her fists and stared at Ding Yue. She kept shouting in her heart, "Stab him to death! Stab him to death! Brother Jiankong is the most powerful!"

Ding Yue's childhood sweetheart was the same. She prayed that Ding Yue would be stabbed to death!

Han Yingmeng's eyes widened. At this moment, her feelings were a little complicated. She hoped that Ding Yue would be stabbed to death, but she also did not want Ying Jiankong to win.

At the moment, no one could take their eyes off that unparalleled sword strike that seemed to split the world.

Clang!

The sound of the sword swinging down resounded through the world.

Ding Yue made his move.

Endless killing intent seemingly filled the world.

Among the surrounding warriors, those below the sixth level of the truth realm were all shocked. They formed a spiritual power shield to protect their bodies.

It started to rain!

Sword rain!

Small swords that were like raindrops fell down.

The faces of all the experienced warriors changed at this moment!

Sword intent manifestation!

This was the rumored sword intent manifestation!

What kind of Sword Dao realm was this?

It was rumored that every sword cultivator who had achieved sword intent manifestation was an invincible existence in the same realm.

Throughout the history of the Southern Region, only records existed of an expert who had achieved sword intent manifestation.

That was the founding ancestor of Nine Swords Mountain, a peerless expert who shook the entire Northern Zone!

After countless years, there was now someone else from the Southern Region who had comprehended the realm of sword intent manifestation. While he had also been a disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, he had been expelled!

Ding Yue had already sheathed his sword.

He still held his longsword in his arms, while Ying Jiankong knelt on one knee. The latter's longsword was on the ground, propping up his body to prevent him from falling down.

He had lost again!

He had lost so decisively too!

Blood gushed out from his shoulder. The spot where he was injured was the exact spot where Ding Yue had stabbed him during their first bout. It was not even a centimeter off.

The surroundings were completely silent.

The experts were shocked by Ding Yue's sword intent manifestation. Others were shocked by how Ying Jiankong, who had used the One Sword technique of Nine Swords Mountain, was still defeated so easily.

It was as if Ying Jiankong had fallen before Ding Yue had even used his strength.

Their strengths were on completely different levels.

The facial expression of the Nine Swords Mountain elder was unprecedentedly solemn. It was the first time since Nine Swords Mountain was founded that they had been defeated so easily.

Moreover, they had been defeated by their very own expelled disciple!

A top-notch Heaven's blessed had been defeated by an expelled disciple!.

It was as if they had been ruthlessly slapped on the face.

He really wanted to make a move and get rid of this great calamity, Ding Yue.

However, he was not confident!

The young man had achieved sword intent manifestation!

From the beginning to the end, Ding Yue seemed composed and relaxed. He had defeated Ying Jiankong with one strike.

No one knew just how strong he was.

If Ding Yue continued to oppose Nine Swords Mountain, then they would be finished.

At this moment, he was considering whether he could persuade Ding Yue to return to Nine Swords Mountain. However, given the latter's current Sword Dao, would he still need the support of the Nine Swords Mountain?

Moreover, what kind of figure was the master behind Ding Yue?

Ding Yue looked at Ying Jiankong, whose face was as pale as a sheet, and felt very comfortable.

His pride had been trampled on, right?

His heart was in turmoil, right?

Did he feel ashamed to lose to him, an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain?

"Do you know why you lost?"

Ding Yue looked down at him from above.

Ying Jiankong's lips twitched, but he did not say anything.

"Because, I have already broken through to the second out of three stages of the way of the sword, yet you haven't even broken through the first stage. You were not worthy of being my opponent from the beginning!"

Ding Yue said proudly.

Ying Jiankong raised his head and asked, "What are the three stages of the way of the sword?"

All the experts, especially those from Nine Swords Mountain, were all riled up. They wanted to know what the three stages of the way of the sword principle were.

Why had they never heard of the three stages of the way of the sword?

Ding Yue had only broken through to the second stage, yet his sword intent had already transformed. If he could break through to the third stage, what realm would his Sword Dao reach?

"Listen well! The first stage of the way of the sword is to forget about your sweetheart!" Ding Yue said seriously.

Ying Jiankong: "…"

Everyone: "…"

"Only by forgetting your sweetheart can you pass the first stage and tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword."

Ding Yue said with a serious expression.

"Bullsh*t!"

The purple-clothed woman was furious.

The red-bearded old man was also so angry that his beard trembled. He glared furiously at Ding Yue.

If Ying Jiankong forgot his sweetheart, would that not mean that he would dump his granddaughter?

That would be even worse!

Chapter 114: Heaven-Spying Mirror

"Foolish!"

Ding Yue snorted coldly. He did not pay any attention to the purple-clothed woman's rage, nor the red-bearded old man's murderous gaze.

He lowered his head to look at Ying Jiankong and said, "This is the gap between you and me. If you want to catch up with my pace, you should first start by breaking through to the first stage."

Ying Jiankong was furious.

He did not believe Ding Yue's words at all. He felt that Ding Yue was teasing him.

What? Forget about his sweetheart? That was simply ridiculous.

"Ding Yue, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Don't even think about disturbing my sword heart!"

Ding Yue sneered and said, "Kill you? Are you even worthy of dying by my blade?"

Sword intent surged forth from his body into the sky. In that instant, Ding Yue looked like a peerless divine sword that stood between Heaven and Earth.

The edge of the sword was sharp and invincible!

Everyone's expression changed in shock!

...

What terrifying sword intent!

What realm had this young man's Sword Dao reached?

It even made people suspect that he had the strength to go against the empires and slaughter them!

"I, Ding Yue, am someone who wants to slaughter gods. You are merely a small stepping stone. You are not worthy of my attention!"

Ding Yue's arrogant voice resounded throughout the surroundings.

Everyone fell silent. Ying Jiankong slumped to the ground and lost all his strength.

He no longer had any desire to fight for supremacy.

From today onwards, Ding Yue had become a huge mountain that he would never be able to climb in his heart.

Chu Xuan sat in the courtyard and fiddled with the Myriad Heavenly Mirror. He did not know how Ding Yue was doing.

It was a pity that he was unable to see what was going on at the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

Did Ding Yue kill everyone?

Did he force Nine Swords Mountain to suffer a humiliating defeat?

Why had he not triggered the system's reward yet?

If only there was a treasure that allowed him to watch these events in real-time.

It was a pity that the Myriad Heavenly Mirror's marks had already been used up. Otherwise, if he had placed one on Ding Yue's body, he would be able to watch.

Although it had a limited range of view, it was still a live broadcast.

As Chu Xuan was sighing, the system's notification suddenly rang out in his head.

"You did not leave seclusion, yet your disciple Ding Yue crushed a top-notch Heaven's blessed in front of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin with a single sword strike, shocking everyone present. You have been rewarded with the Heaven-spying Mirror."

The system reward had really been triggered.

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. His guess was right. His disciples' outstanding achievements were a testament to his excellent teachings, and could also trigger the system's reward.

He immediately examined the reward.

"The Heaven-spying Mirror can spy on all things in the world, track all things, ignoring space and distance…"

The Heaven-spying mirror was a very powerful treasure.

Unlike the Myriad Heavenly Mirror, the Heaven-spying Mirror only allowed him to spy on and track others; it could not transmit items.

It could also spy on multiple places and targets at the same time, like watching multiple live broadcasts.

There were two main ways to use the Heavenly Mirror. The first was for him to take the initiative to spy on someone or some place. The prerequisite was that he had to know the direction and approximate distance of the target. Moreover, the further away the target was, the greater the consumption of his spiritual power.

Spying on multiple targets at the same time would undoubtedly consume a huge amount of spiritual power.

The second way was to leave a mark on an object or creature, or to capture a wisp of its aura and use it as a mark to trace the target and spy on it.

This method of spying completely ignored space and distance, and also consumed less energy.

It would not consume more energy even if the target was further away.

Its limitation was that he had to leave a mark on the object or creature, or capture a strand of its aura.

Both methods had their pros and cons. Even so, the Heaven-spying Mirror was still an extremely powerful treasure.

Chu Xuan took out the Heaven-spying Mirror.

He began to fiddle around with it, trying to find out if he could observe what was going on at Bai Sheng Mountain.

"Which direction is Bai Sheng Mountain in? How far away is it?"

There was no mark there, nor did he have a strand of Ding Yue's aura handy. As such, Chu Xuan could only use the first method to track down Bai Sheng Mountain.

He picked up the communication talisman and contacted Bao Hongyan, asking her about the direction and approximate distance of Bai Sheng Mountain from his courtyard.

Bao Hongyan was the person that Chu Xuan focused on nurturing. In the future, she would be in charge of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region.

The talent and aptitude level of Lao Gui Tai was too useless. He was not worth nurturing at all.

Chu Xuan would not spend resources to improve his talent.

The reason why Lao Gui Tai was sent to the Southern Region was probably because he was useless.

Bao Hongyan quickly provided Chu Xuan with the general direction and distance of Bai Sheng Mountain. She was extremely efficient.

This was also one of the reasons why Chu Xuan valued her over the other possible candidates.

Bao Hongyan's cultivation had already reached the seventh level of the truth realm. Her strength was growing rapidly.

At this moment, she was wholeheartedly working for Chu Xuan. She no longer had any sense of belonging to Black Moon Tower.

After all, Chu Xuan was the reason why her cultivation could progress at such a rapid speed.

After obtaining the general direction and distance of Bai Sheng Mountain, Chu Xuan injected his spiritual power into the Heaven-spying Mirror and directed it toward Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin.

After some time, an image appeared.

At first glance, Chu Xuan thought he was looking at a mirage.

After taking a closer look, he realized that this was what Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin looked like as it gradually emerged from the spatial crack.

Since the ruin had not completely re-emerged, it looked just like a mirage.

Adjusting the direction of the image, a mountain in front of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin appeared in the image. Then, he spotted Ding Yue, who had occupied that mountain.

A young man was lying on the ground not far away from Ding Yue.

That was probably Ding Yue's enemy, the top-notch genius of Nine Swords Mountain.

He had already reached the ninth level of the truth realm at the age of 50. He was indeed talented and had to be very strong.

Unfortunately, he could not compare to Ding Yue. He was destined to become Ding Yue's stepping stone.

Chu Xuan then heard Ding Yue's words…

His statement was very arrogant. He was talking about killing gods.

Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. The Southern Region probably did not have any hidden Deity realm experts, right?

If there were any, and if they heard those words, what if that expert appeared to kill Ding Yue?

It might even implicate him.

However, thinking of the fact that Ding Yue was the son of fate of the Southern Region, Chu Xuan felt that he should not have such bad luck.

Moreover, the Deity realm was something that only existed in legends. How could one be hidden in a small corner of the continent like the Southern Region.

Ding Yue looked over toward Nine Swords Mountain's peak and said proudly, "Throughout Nine Swords Mountain's history, the only person who can be considered an expert is the founder of Nine Swords Mountain. The rest are not worthy of my attention!"

F*ck! He's too f*cking arrogant!

All of the experts present were speechless.

They looked at the Nine Swords Mountain elder and started to gloat.

"Such an arrogant disciple. It's a pity if he's not a heretic cultivator!"

The Evil King Sighed.

Go to hell!

Everyone was speechless. Which heretic cultivator was as arrogant as Ding Yue?

Of all the geniuses of the evil imperial court, were there any who dared to say that only the founder of Nine Swords Mountain was worthy of their attention?

The Nine Swords Mountain elder stared at Ding Yue coldly with a gloomy face. "Arrogant b*stard!"

"Old man, come over here and fight me if you don't like my words. If I can't defeat you with three strikes. I, Ding Yue, will call you my father!"

Ding Yue was not afraid at all. So what if the other party was a half-step emperor realm expert?

He was not afraid!

He had cultivated the Firmament Sword body, and the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was extremely powerful. It could even kill a half-step Emperor realm expert!

The so-called half-step Emperor realm was also, in the end, still part of thetruth realm. As long as the other party had not truly reached the Emperor realm, he was not afraid at all.

Everyone was speechless. Ding Yue was a bit of a b*stard and quite shameless.

He did not have the demeanor of a peerless sword cultivator at all.

The Nine Swords Mountain elder was so angry that his face turned green, but he did not make a move in the end.

He was not confident at all!

He might even be defeated.

The opening of Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin was imminent. Nine Swords Mountain could not afford to lose out on the opportunity to enter it.

Chapter 115: Old Cur, Don't You Even Dare To Think About Messing With My Sword Heart

"Coward!"

Ding Yue looked at the other party with disdain.

The elder's face was gloomy, and he did not say anything in response.

"Nine Swords Mountain has really declined. They expelled a peerless genius and chased him out of the sect. Instead, they wholeheartedly nurtured a good-for-nothing piece of trash. How pathetic!"

Liu Pingfeng added insult to injury while also trying to curry favor with Ding Yue.

Over on Nine Swords Mountain's side, a woman had come over and helped Ying Jiankong up.

She looked at Ding Yue with hatred.

"Ding Yue, you've gone too far!"

"Get lost!"

Ding Yue cursed, "How have I gone too far? I've already shown mercy by not breaking your man's third leg."

"What are you looking at? I'm someone beyond your reach!"

...

The woman was extremely angry. "You!"

She helped Ying Jiankong up and returned to the Nine Swords Mountain's peak.

The purple-robed woman quickly came over to Ying Jiankong's side and took out some medicinal pills to treat his injuries. She encouraged him at the same time.

"Brother Jiankong, don't be discouraged. It's just a temporary setback. He was just a little lucky and obtained some fortuitous encounters!"

"As long as you obtain some opportunities in Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin, you will definitely surpass him."

Seeing Ying Jiankong surrounded by beauties, Ding Yue was not envious at all. On the contrary, he had a look of disdain on his face.

"Ying Jiankong, you are hopeless. Women will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword. You will never be able to catch up to me."

The women beside Ying Jiankong all glared at him angrily.

Ding Yue had gone too far!

Han Yingmeng's beautiful eyes were suffused with a strange light. Her posture was graceful as flower petals floated around her.

She was like a fairy that walked out of a garden.

She was devastatingly beautiful.

This scene charmed many of the cultivators present.

She walked over step by step, as if she was dancing in the air. She arrived at the mountain peak where Ding Yue was at.

"Brother Ding Yue…"

Her voice was soft and charming.

"Scram! Woman, stay away from me!"

Unexpectedly, Ding Yue did not hold back at all and directly shouted at her angrily.

Han Yingmeng almost died from anger.

B*stard! B*stard!

She, Han Yingmeng, was always the center of attention wherever she went. Who had ever berated her like this?

No one!

However, Ding Yue had berated her repeatedly and had gone too far!

"You! I wish you an early death!"

Han Yingmeng returned to her own mountain peak in a huff.

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched. Did he go too far in deceiving Ding Yue? If this continued, this fellow was destined to live alone!

According to the normal plotline development of a son of fate, this Holy Maiden of the Floating Flower Pavilion should have become one of his lovers or admirers, right?

Yet, she had been driven mad by Ding Yue.

"Good. I admire geniuses like Brother Ding Yue. He doesn't bow down to women. He can just grab them and have fun when he wants to. It's a waste of time to talk about love."

The Evil King praised him greatly.

The experts of the Floating Flower Pavilion and the other female cultivators all glared at the Evil King angrily.

They wanted to find an opportunity to kill him!

The experts of the evil imperial court all had dark expressions.

Their Evil King really had a problem with his brain. F*ck! He directly offended all of the female experts present.

He was not like this in the past.

He was very shrewd and cunning.

Why had he become a retard now?

The future of the evil imperial court hung in the balance!

"Brother Ding Yue, my evil imperial court needs law enforcers like you. Why don't you come to my evil imperial court to enforce the law and uphold justice!"

The Evil King tried to recruit Ding Yue.

The evil cultivators of the evil imperial court felt their hearts run cold.

Crazy!

The Evil King was really crazy.

He was actually trying to recruit Ding Yue to uphold justice in the evil imperial court?

F*ck! When did justice ever become a thing in our evil imperial court?

They were an empire of heretic cultivators! Justice was not supposed to even be part of our vocabulary!

The corners of the mouths of the other experts twitched. The Evil King might really have a problem with his brain.

Otherwise, how could he, a heretic cultivator, invite Ding Yue to uphold justice?

F*ck! Was he not afraid of Ding Yue killing all of the experts of the evil imperial court?

Liu Pingfeng had thought so at the beginning but, suddenly, he realized that something was wrong.

The Evil King was indeed cunning!

He had actually used the banner of justice to rope Ding Yue into becoming an expert of the evil imperial court.

Ding Yue was probably more valuable than all ten evil commanders put together.

Thinking this, Liu Pingfeng could not sit still.

He immediately said, "Brother Ding Yue, I am the Prime Minister of the Great Qian Dynasty. Why don't you come over to the Great Qian Dynasty instead?"

Liu Pingfeng then immediately offered a condition that showed how much he valued Ding Yue and how much the Great Qian Dynasty respected Ding Yue.

"Brother Ding Yue, the little princess of the Great Qian Dynasty is extremely beautiful and talented. In terms of looks, she is even more beautiful than Holy Maiden Han Yingmeng."

"As long as Brother Ding Yue joins the Great Qian Dynasty, the king is willing to wed the little princess to you."

"Also, I have a little daughter who is also extremely beautiful. Her dancing skills are even better than Holy Maiden Han Yingmeng's, and she is willing to do anything for Brother Ding Yue. In addition, your status will be no lower than mine."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to have two beauties who are even better than Saintess Han Yingmeng?"

"Also, if you have any requests, feel free to state them. Be it spirit stones, pills, treasures, or even emperor-level weapons."

"Brother Ding Yue, as long as you join the Great Qian Dynasty, you can ask for anything."

Liu Pingfeng was very confident that no one could reject such a generous offer.

He already offered beauties and status.

How many people could reject such an offer?

The experts present were all shocked by Liu Pingfeng's offer.

Especially the part where he wanted to marry his daughter to Ding Yue and said that the latter's status would be no lower than his. This implied that, as long as Ding Yue agreed to join the Great Qian Dynasty, his status would be equal or greater than the Prime Minister's!

The expressions of those from Nine Swords Mountain were extremely ugly.

Qin Changfang was extremely anxious. Once Ding Yue joined the Great Qian Dynasty, he would be able to restrain a large portion of the experts from Nine Swords Mountain. The Great Qin Dynasty would then face the gradual encroachment of the Great Qian Dynasty into their territory.

The Great Qin Dynasty relied on Nine Swords Mountain to restrain the experts from the Great Qian Dynasty.

No matter how strong Qin Keyun was, she could not destroy the Great Qian Dynasty. How could she defend such a large territory by herself?

He wanted to rope Ding Yue into the Great Qin Dynasty, but they themselves were allies with Nine Swords Mountain, and Ding Yue was an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain.

No matter what, he would not choose the Great Qin Dynasty.

The red-bearded elder did not say anything. His granddaughter was Ying Jiankong's fiancée, so how could he rope in Ding Yue?

Han Yingmeng was furious and glared at Liu Pingfeng. B*stard, you dared to say that your daughter can dance better than me, and the little princess of the Great Qian Dynasty is prettier than me!

Everyone was taking turns to step on her dignity today. Did they all think that she had a good temper?

Ding Yue looked at Liu Pingfeng, and his face gradually darkened.

Marry the princess to him?

Marry his daughter to him?

What a sinister person!

He actually intended to use beauty to seduce him and mess up his sword heart, turning him into a person who chased after beauties.

If he married his daughter and the little princess, should he stand up for them whenever something happened?

How could he cultivate the Sword Dao if they kept pestering him all day?

They would even give birth to children, which would further restrain him. People might even use them to blackmail him.

How could he break through the three stages of the way of the sword when he was tied down by such bonds in his heart?

He remembered his master's teachings clearly. If he had no woman in his heart, he could draw his sword and slay gods!

The more Ding Yue thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Pingfeng was being sinister and cunning. He claimed that he wanted to rope him in but, in fact, this man wanted to use beauties to mess with his sword heart.

He wanted to destroy his ambition of reaching the peak of Sword Dao!

He immediately snorted and said angrily, "Old cur, don't even think of messing with my sword heart!"

"I, Ding Yue, only have the Dao of Sword in my heart! If you want to use beauties to mess with my sword heart, dream on!"

"Old cur, kist give up. Don't ever think of messing with my sword heart!"

Ding Yue said angrily.

Liu Pingfeng was momentarily stunned, after which he was consumed by rage!

Chapter 116: Chu Yuan's Return

Liu Pingfeng was so angry that his expression contorted. He had offered to marry the little princess and his own daughter to Ding Yue.

In the end, not only did the other party not appreciate his kindness, he even felt that he was harming him.

Was he a f*cking lunatic?

He must have cultivated the way of the sword to the point that his brain had become abnormal.

The others also had strange expressions on their faces. They had thought that Ding Yue would definitely join the Great Qian Dynasty.

After all, Liu Pingfeng's offer was too generous.

Who would have thought that not only did the Great Qian Dynasty fail to pull him in, they even angered Ding Yue.

Han Yingmeng felt a little better and looked at Liu Pingfeng gloatingly.

Hmph! Who asked him to disparage her like that!

She looked at Ding Yue, and could not help but grit her teeth.

Chu Xuan rubbed his head and fell into a state of deep thought. Did his teachings cause Ding Yue to go astray?

This fellow was seemingly destined for eternal loneliness.

No, when he returned, Chu Xuan would try to deceive him again. He could not allow his disciple to live as a celibate.

Ding Yue had trampled on Nine Swords Mountain and rubbed their faces into the dirt.

Thanks to that, none of the other forces had any intention of finding trouble with Ding Yue.

No one wanted to become enemies with such a prodigy with boundless potential.

Moreover, they might not even be able to defeat him.

After the commotion, things finally quieted down.

Everyone was waiting for the opening of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

Ding Yue occupied a mountain peak by himself and was in the limelight.

The Bai Sheng Mountain had not been opened yet, so the major factions began to discuss the quota for entry.

Not everyone had the qualifications to enter.

This was especially so for itinerant cultivators, who were almost all excluded unless they were strong enough.

It was naturally also difficult for small factions to obtain a spot.

Ding Yue did not participate in these discussions. Regardless of whether he was included or not, he could definitely enter.

No one could exclude him, or even stop him.

Be it Nine Swords Mountain, the Floating flower pavilion, or the Great Qian Dynasty, which were the three factions that had a direct conflict with Ding Yue, or any of the other factions, they all knew that Ding Yue alone was a large faction.

There was no way to exclude him.

Most of the unaffiliated cultivators were excluded, so there were some unaffiliated cultivators who wanted to obtain a spot by joining him.

In addition, since Ding Yue did not seem to like women, only men went

These itinerant cultivators encouraged Ding Yue to fight for a place and flattered him, saying that he could form his own large force since he had occupied a mountain.

Huh? Why did they think that he could not get a spot?

It was obvious that they looked down on him!

"Shut up!"

Ding Yue shouted angrily, "If you want a spot, go fight for it yourself. Get lost!"

"If you bother me again, I'll kill you!"

Seeing Ding Yue get angry, the itinerant cultivators could only leave in embarrassment.

Ding Yue snorted coldly. He was not stupid. There was no way he would let them use him for their own benefit!

Chu Xuan did not continue paying attention to what was going on and deactivated the Heaven-spying Mirror. The real highlight would be when the Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin was fully opened.

He had a feeling that Ding Yue had offended many experts.

He would definitely be surrounded and killed if they found the right opportunity to do so.

This was especially true for Nine Swords Mountain, who would never allow such a great calamity to continue brewing.

Although Ding Yue wanted to slap Nine Swords Mountain on the face and damage their reputation as revenge for expelling him, he did not want to destroy them or kill them.

However, the experts of Nine Swords Mountain would not think that way.

They were worried that Ding Yue would kill them all when he became stronger.

Chu Xuan told Bao Hongyan to keep an eye on Nine Swords Mountain's movements. After giving her those instructions, he directed his attention elsewhere.

It would still take some time before the ruin fully opened.

There was no rush.

Chu Xuan activated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe.

Ren Changhe was only half a step away from breaking through to the Divine realm.

The day he broke through to the Divine realm, would be the day he escaped his predicament.

Chu Xuan was looking forward to the day Ren Changhe broke through to the Divine realm, and the cultivation boost reward he would receive.

He was getting closer and closer to the Divine realm.

He also gave Du Yuan some pointers and as well as a bottle of supreme realm cultivation pills. Then, he continued to make preparations for Su Xian'er breakthrough to the Emperor realm.

Su Xian'er breakthrough to the Emperor realm would be an extremely important milestone for her. He would probably be rewarded with a hundred years' worth of cultivation, right?

Turning his attention to the World-cleansing Glazed Pagoda again, he noticed that Mo Tuo had almost been converted. It was lacking just that tiny bit.

Once Mo Tuo was converted, he would have a Buddhist disciple with a Heaven realm cultivation under his command.

Mo Tuo's conversion was also a kind of opportunity for the demon.

At the very least, his soul would recover its Heaven realm cultivation, and he could even condense a physical body.

Converting Mo Tuo would likely also trigger the system's reward.

Chu Xuan was full of anticipation.

Time flowed like water, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Bai Sheng Mountain ruin had not opened yet. It was much slower than expected.

The quotas of the major forces had already been determined.

During this time, a conflict had broken out.

A half-step emperor realm itinerant cultivator had led a dozen ninth-level truth realm experts and threatened the major forces to give up some of the entry quotas.

A short battle between half-step emperor realm cultivators then broke out.

The half-step emperor realm itinerant cultivator was injured, but they also received a few spots.

Su Xian'er had already left the pocket dimension and was in seclusion in the universe space, preparing to break through to the Emperor realm.

She was comprehending the laws of the Great Dao.

Wang Luo's cultivation had already risen to the seventh level of the truth realm. It could be said that he had made rapid progress.

On this day, Chu Tianming's roar was heard from the ancestral residence.

It had been a long time since he had heard this familiar roar.

Chu Xuan looked up and noticed that Chu Yuan had returned.

However, he looked haggard and extremely dejected.

Beside him was a little boy.

The corners of his mouth twitched. He had left for a few years and returned with a son?

For some reason, this scene seemed strangely familiar.

Was Chu Yuan's wife from a large family clan? Had their marriage been met with opposition? Was she now captured and held captive in her clan?

Was that why Chu Yuan was in such a dire state?

Thinking back to the time when Chu Yuan had been hiding in some ruin, it was very likely that this was the cause behind such a melodramatic situation.

Chu Tianming was roaring, and the other elders of the Chu family were all glaring angrily at Chu Yuan. His status in the Chu family was extremely awkward.

Fortunately, Chu Yun had accompanied Chu Yuan back.

Otherwise, he would have been expelled before they even reached the ancestral residence.

Chu Yun's status in the Chu family was extraordinary after all. Thus, Chu Tianming was only roaring angrily and did not expel him.

The other elders of the Chu family did not do anything too extreme either.

Chu Yuan did not seem to display any reaction to the attitudes of Chu Tianming and the other members of the Chu family. Instead, he seemed extremely dejected.

His cultivation had already reached the first level of the unity realm.

As expected of the most talented person in the current generation of the Chu family!

Not long after, Chu Yuan appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard.

"Thirteenth Brother, can I ask you for something?"

Chu Yuan's expression was haggard, as if he had lost his soul.

Chu Xuan looked at the little boy beside him. He looked to be about five or six years old, and he had a tiger-like appearance. He looked dull and seemed a little stupid.

One look was all it took to tell that he was not some clever child.

His level of talent seemed to be very average.

The little boy held a wooden saber in his hand and fiddled with it. Half of his attention was on that wooden saber.

Chu Xuan sighed in his heart. He knew what Chu Yuan wanted from him.

He thought of this person, his father's direct disciple, who often hated him for not living up to his father's legacy. That same person was now standing in front of him with a haggard expression.

He was no longer as high-spirited as before.

The last time he came back, he had deliberately left half of an emperor-level scripture for him, in order to increase his influence in the family.

He could be considered to have put in a lot of effort to ensure Chu Xuan's wellbeing.

Chapter 117: Innately Talent In The Extreme Dao

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Chu Xuan sighed.

A person who used to be so high-spirited was now looking so down and out because of the word 'love'.

His father had been the same.

As expected of his father's direct disciple. Not only had he learned how to break off his marriage engagement, but he was now also depressed because of love.

Chu Yuan patted the little boy's head and said, "This is my son, Chu Pingfan. I want you to help me bring him up to live an ordinary life."

"Pingfan, address him as Thirteenth Uncle!"

Chu Pingfan raised his head and looked at Chu Xuan. "Thirteenth Uncle."

"Yes, good boy."

Chu Xuan looked at Chu Pingfan thoughtfully.

He had a tiger-like aura, but looked dull and clumsy. It was obvious that he was not talented.

Perhaps that was why he was called 'ordinary'. (T/N: Pingfan means 'ordinary' in Mandarin.)

Chu Yuan's wife had been taken away by someone from her family, but not Chu Pingfan. It was probably because of his lack of talent.

If he was talented, no large family would abandon him.

After handing Chu Pingfan over to Chu Xuan, Chu Yuan let out a sigh of relief and began to briefly tell his story.

It was just as Chu Xuan predicted. Chu Yuan's wife was the daughter of a large family clan. They fell in love with each other and gave birth to Chu Pingfan.

In the end, his wife's family sent an expert to look for her and forcefully took her away.

The reason why that expert did not kill Chu Yuan was because his wife had pleaded for mercy on his behalf bitterly.

"I want to head to the Eastern Region. I will make them understand that I, Chu Yuan, am not weaker than others in my lifetime!"

Chu Yuan said firmly.

"Take care, third brother. I'll take care of him."

Chu Xuan sighed and patted Chu Yuan's shoulder.

He transmitted some of his power into Chu Yuan's body, giving him a life-saving trump card.

As long as he did not encounter a Heaven realm expert, this power was enough to keep him safe.

Chu Pingfan stopped playing with the saber and looked at Chu Yuan in a daze. "Father, are you leaving Fan'er?"

Chu Yuan rubbed his head. "Father is going to look for mother. Fan'er, be good and listen to Thirteenth Uncle, got it?"

"Okay!"

Chu Pingfan nodded his head.

Chu Yuan left.

He wanted to leave the Southern Region and head to the Eastern Region.

Under normal circumstances, the only way to leave the Southern Region was to seek out the Black Moon Tower and leave through their secret channel.

However, Chu Yuan had another way. His wife had once told him that there was a way to secretly leave the Southern Region.

It was just more dangerous.

Chu Pingfan stared blankly at the entrance of the small courtyard. He did not speak for a long time, simply clutching the wooden saber in his hand.

Chu Yun came over.

"Pingfan, do you miss your aunt?"

Chu Yuan picked up Chu Pingfan and asked dotingly.

"Yes!"

Chu Pingfan nodded his little head.

"Thirteenth Brother, Third Brother Chu Yuan, he…"

Chu Yun felt saddened by what had happened to Chu Yuan.

"Everyone has their own path. Perhaps this is his path."

Chu Xuan sighed.

Chu Yun put down Chu Pingfan, rubbed his little head, and sent a voice transmission to Chu Xuan, "Thirteenth Brother, Pingfan's talent is a little…"

Chu Xuan smiled and did not answer.

"I will find the materials to refine pills that can improve your talent."

Chu Yun looked at Chu Pingfan lovingly.

"Talent is not the be-all-end-all."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and asked Chu Pingfan to come over.

Looking at the silly-looking little boy, Chu Xuan lowered his head and asked, "Pingfan, do you like knives very much?"

"Yes, I do."

Chu Pingfan nodded.

"Why do you like them?"

"Because knives are very domineering. I like domineering things."

"You don't like swords?"

"I don't like them."

Chu Xuan rubbed his head and did not continue asking.

Chu Yun told him about her experiences when she went out to train, especially about the little evil king, the simp who was following her around.

She had a look of disdain on her face.

"Thirteenth Brother, that guy is very evil, so I swindled him out of all his things and refined a lot of pills."

Chu Yun was very pleased with herself as she took out several bottles of pills.

"Thirteenth Brother, these pills are for you."

Chu Xuan stuffed the pills back into her mouth and said, "I don't need any pills."

He mourned silently for the little evil king in his heart. What was the point of simping? In the end, he had nothing left!

Chu Yun had found out about the little evil king's identity from the Black Moon Tower, as well as his personality and evil tendencies. That was why she was so angry and tried her best to bankrupt the little evil king.

It could be considered as venting her anger.

After that, Chu Yun returned to the ancestral residence.

Chu Xuan called Su Xian'er and Wang Luo out and introduced Chu Pingfan to the two of them. This was his nephew.

Chu Pingfan was also handed over to the two of them to take care of.

Su Xian'er's main task in the future would be to take care of Chu Pingfan.

A few days passed, and Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin became clearer. At this rate, it would definitely open within half a month.

Chu Pingfan had already adapted to life in the small courtyard. Occasionally, he would look at the courtyard entrance in a daze. Most of the time, he would hold the wooden saber and wave it.

Chu Xuan did not allow him to enter the pocket dimension. Chu Pingfan was not an adult. If he entered the pocket dimension, Chu Xuan would have to adjust the timeflow difference in the pocket dimension to match reality.

The timeflow difference of the pocket dimension would not increase one's age because of its unique traits. If Chu Pingfan entered, even if he stayed inside for decades, he would still remain a child.

At the moment, Wang Luo was busy rapidly improving his cultivation, so Chu Xuan did not want to adjust the time difference in the pocket dimension to match reality.

As such, Chu Pingfan either hung out in the courtyard or in the universe space.

For this reason, Chu Xuan called out the Heavenly Spirit Cat, the Sky-shaking Golden Roc, and the Spirit Devouring Flower to play with Chu Pingfan.

"Pingfan, come here."

Chu Xuan waved at Chu Pingfan, who was waving his wooden saber with a serious expression and a sullen face.

"Thirteenth Uncle."

Chu Pingfan ran over.

Chu Xuan rubbed his little head and said, "Pingfan, can Thirteenth Uncle teach you how to use a saber?"

"Yes please! Thank you, Thirteenth Uncle!"

Chu Pingfan's eyes lit up.

Chu Xuan flipped his hand and a wooden saber that was a little longer than Chu Pingfan's height appeared in his hand.

The wooden saber looked ordinary, and not very beautiful at all.

It was an ordinary saber made from a branch that Chu Xuan had broken off from an ordinary tree in the pocket dimension.

Only the master of the pocket dimension, Chu Xuan, could break off a branch of a tree that could not be damaged and make it into a wooden saber.

"Here, this saber is for you!"

Chu Pingfan hugged the wooden saber with both hands happily.

Chu Xuan sighed in his heart when he saw him like this. Everyone thought that he was stupid and had no talent.

However, he knew that Chu Pingfan's talent lay in the Extreme Dao!

Moreover, he was innately talented in this regard.

One could only reach the peak of the Extreme Dao by relying on extreme affection!

This affection was not that of love, but rather an extreme affection toward the Dao.

For example, Chu Pingfan had an extreme affection toward sabers.

His name was Pingfan, so he would give him a saber made of ordinary wood.

Chu Xuan thought very highly of this tiger-like, seemingly stupid nephew, especially since he was innately talented in the Extreme Dao.

As long as it was someone he, Chu Xuan, nurtured, there was no way that person would turn out as trash. Even if someone was trash from the get-go, Chu Xuan could still nurture that person into a genius!

Moreover, Chu Pingfan himself possessed talent in the Extreme Dao.

Although Chu Pingfan was young, he understood very well that his mother had been captured and that his father had gone to look for his mother. Everyone thought that he was stupid.

He was unwilling to accept this.

In fact, he had been holding back his anger. He wanted to prove that he was not stupid and fight for his parents!

Chapter 118: Saber-Nurturing Technique

The Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture could finally be used.

Chu Xuan had obtained this Extreme Dao technique a long time ago. Due to the harsh cultivation process, he had never found a suitable person to cultivate it.

Even though Chu Xuan had comprehended the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture, he had never cultivated it. Thus, he was unable to unleash the full power of this technique.

He was not an Extreme Dao saber cultivator!

There was no specific grade when it came to Extreme Dao techniques. Whether or not it was powerful depended entirely on the person who cultivated it.

Chu Pingfan was innately talented when it came to the Extreme Dao of the Saber. Chu Xuan knew that he would be very powerful if he managed to cultivate the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture.

His potential would not be inferior to Ding Yue or Wang Luo.

Looking at Chu Pingfan clutching the ordinary saber in his arms, Chu Xuan liked this nephew of his more and more.

He was only six years old.

If he started cultivating now, under Chu Xuan's guidance, it would not be a problem for him to break through to the Emperor realm by the age of twenty.

An Emperor realm expert at the age of twenty was likely unheard of since ancient times. It was absolutely unbelievable!

Moreover, Chu Xuan was fully confident that Chu Pingfan would be able to break through to the Emperor realm even before the age of twenty.

The benchmark of a top-notch Heaven's blessed, which was that of the hundred-year emperor realm, was for others.

For one to have talent in the Extreme Dao itself was special.

Chu Pingfan, who was innately talented in the Extreme Dao, should not be compared to ordinary top-notch Heaven's blessed. Moreover, Chu Xuan believed that the way he taught his disciples was the best in the world.

After all, he had the blessing of the Sagemaster's Halo.

An emperor realm expert who was not even twenty years old would emerge under his guidance. The system's reward for that would definitely be absolutely generous!

It was worth looking forward to.

"Pingfan, Thirteenth Uncle will teach you a saber scripture."

"Thank you, Thirteenth Uncle."

Chu Pingfan looked at Chu Xuan excitedly.

Chu Xuan raised his hand and pointed his finger toward Pingfan's forehead. He transmitted the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture to Chu Pingfan.

Chu Pingfan closed his eyes and tried to comprehend the saber scripture that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Xuan. "Thirteenth Uncle, I like this cultivation technique very much. I'll definitely work hard to cultivate it."

Chu Xuan did not want him to only know how to cultivate at such a young age. Even though he was feeling internally stifled, and still wanted to fight for his parents, he should not be allowed to miss out on the fun of being a child just because of that.

"Pingfan, you should also pay attention to relaxation and recreation aside from cultivating. You shouldn't go to extremes just because of the burden in your heart…"

Chu Xuan's Sagemaster Halo enveloped his body, and his voice seemed to break through the walls around Pingfan's heart, reaching the depths of his heart.

He wanted to heal the wounds in Chu Pingfan's heart and restore the innocence that a kid his age should have.

Chu Pingfan fell into a dazed state. When Chu Xuan finished speaking, Pingfan raised his head; his eyes were now clear.

"Thirteenth uncle, I understand. I'll definitely cultivate well and have fun at the same time."

Chu Xuan was very gratified. Chu Pingfan still looked dull, and he still gave one the feeling that he was somewhat dumb.

However, he no longer exuded that frustrated, stifling feeling that he had before.

"Alright. From today onward, you will learn how to nurture your saber."

Chu Xuan rubbed Pingfan's head.

Nurturing one's saber was the first stage of cultivating the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture, and also the first step to the Extreme Dao.

The method to cultivate the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture was not an ordinary one.

When nurtured properly, a saber was like a human. It had a body, a heart, and a soul!

Before it was nurtured, it was like any ordinary person.

Once it was successfully nurtured, its strength would skyrocket, completely ignoring the shackles of its realm. In an instant, it would advance several realms and reach an extremely high realm.

This was the uniqueness and power of the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture.

However, it was not so easy to nurture a saber.

Only a genius of the Extreme Dao could afford to nurture a saber.

The higher the realm of a saber was nurtured to, the greater the increase in its realm would be on the day of its success.

From that day onward, Chu Pingfan held the ordinary saber and started to nurture the saber according to the saber-nurturingtechnique of the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture.

As Chu Pingfan started to nurture the saber, the wooden saber made of ordinary wood gradually changed, as if it was becoming a part of Chu Pingfan.

Although that was the case, it still looked like an ordinary wooden saber.

Chu Xuan was looking forward to the day when Chu Pingfan would nurture his saber to a higher level.

Void realm? Unity realm?

Or perhaps even the truth realm?

Of course, it was impossible for him to reach the Emperor realm with that. On the path of cultivation, the Emperor realm was like a giant chasm. It could not be achieved by simply nurturing a saber.

Chu Xuan was sure that, among all of the Extreme Dao experts, no one had more resources than Chu Pingfan did now.

He was using the ordinary wood blade as his starting point to nurture his saber, so his starting point was much higher than others.

The ordinary wood's indestructible nature matched up perfectly with the cultivation of the Extreme Dao and the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture.

Chu Pingfan used the Heaven's Fate Saber Scripture to nurture his saber, nurture his body, nurture his mind, and nurture his soul. As he nurtured his saber, physical body, mental state, and mental will, he would also improve in all of those aspects.

In order to nurture Chu Pingfan's physical body as much as possible, and increase the efficiency and limit of his saber cultivation, Chu Xuan took out many treasures.

Every day, he would give Chu Pingfan a medicinal bath. He even instructed Wang Luo to specially refine emperor-level medicinal baths to temper Chu Pingfan's body.

He was using emperor-level medicinal baths to temper his body. Even the legitimate descendants of the human kings' families did not receive such treatment.

Not everyone had access to emperor-level medicinal bath formulas. The effects of these medicinal baths were mild, and even children could soak in it.

Moreover, it was not that easy to find the natural treasures required to refine these medicinal baths.

Chu Xuan possessed countless resources in his pocket dimension, which allowed him to be so extravagant.

Su Xian'er and Wang Luo were in charge of Chu Pingfan's daily life and cultivation. Chu Yun would also come over every once in a while.

She would deliver medicinal pills to Chu Pingfan as well.

Gradually, Chu Yun also discovered something different about Chu Pingfan.

However, she only thought that her medicinal pills had taken effect.

Chu Pingfan quietly cultivated his saber. In the eyes of Su Xian'er and Wang Luo, he was still a child.

The only difference was that he bathed in emperor-level medicinal baths to temper his body, making his body very strong. Now, he truly looked like a tiger.

Other than that, there was nothing special about him.

His talent still seemed ordinary.

The only thing he liked was the wooden saber, which was almost always with him.

The two of them could not figure out how Chu Xuan was going to train Chu Pingfan.

Was Chu Xuan not going to increase his talent?

Thinking along these lines, Wang Luo found some heavenly and earthly treasures and refined a pill that could increase one's talent.

This was the highest grade pill he had refined so far.

He failed three times in a row before he succeeded.

It had taken Wang Luo a lot of effort to refine this pill.

When he saw Chu Pingfan, he thought of himself. Back then, he had received similar treatment in the Wang family and had not been well-liked.

"Pingfan, come over here."

As he exited the pocket dimension, Wang Luo waved and called out to Chu Pingfan.

"Uncle Wang."

Chu Pingfan carried the wooden saber and ran to him.

"Here, eat this pill."

Although he saw the pill in Wang Luo's hand, Chu Pingfan did not take it immediately.

Instead, he looked toward Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan glanced at it and said, "If you want to eat it, just eat it. Just treat it like a piece of candy."

Chu Pingfan was a genius of the Extreme Dao. Pills like these that could improve his talent were useless.

Chu Pingfan took the pills happily and put them into his mouth to chew.

He ate quite a number of pills, as they tasted pretty good. He ate them as snacks.

Whether it was Chu Yun or Wang Luo, both refined pills that were relatively mild for him, and the medicinal efficacy of those pills would slowly nourish him.

Therefore, even though Chu Pingfan had not even reached the mortal realm, he could still eat these pills.

The medicinal effects of the pills he ate were all used to nurture his saber. He remained ordinary, without any improvement.

Chapter 119: The First Buddha In This World, Buddha Nanwu

Wang Luo stared at Chu Pingfan for a long time with a puzzled expression. Why had there not been any changes?

There was no problem with the pills he refined.

When he encountered a problem he did not understand, he naturally turned to his master for advice.

"Master, why didn't Pingfan's talent increase?"

Chu Xuan said lazily, "His Dao is different from yours. It's different from the millions of cultivators in this world."

"How is it different?"

Chu Xuan said mysteriously, "You'll find out in the future."

Wang Luo did not probe further. Instead, he asked about his own cultivation.

Su Xian'er also tagged along.

Chu Xuan activated the Sagemaster Halo's and began to explain the mysteries of cultivation to the two of them. With the support of the Sagemaster's Halo, Su Xian'er and Wang Luo managed to comprehend many things instantly.

After that, Wang Luo returned to the pocket dimension to cultivate, while Su Xian'er continued to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and accumulate her foundation in preparation for breaking through to the Emperor realm.

Chu Xuan took a look at the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin once again. More than half of the ruin had now been revealed.

Just a little more and the spatial crack it had fallen into would open up completely, allowing it to return to the Southern Region once more.

"The Bai Sheng Mountain ruin will open in three to four days."

Chu Xuan glanced at Ding Yue. He was still occupying the mountain alone arrogantly. He chose not to interact with any of the forces or experts present.

...

The Nine Swords Mountain elder had secretly communicated with Liu Pingfeng and the red-bearded elder of the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain a few times.

He even dragged the itinerant half-step emperor realm cultivator along.

Unsurprisingly, they planned to surround and kill Ding Yue when the ancient ruin opened.

The Great Qian Dynasty and Nine Swords Mountain were supposed to be enemies but, because of Ding Yue, they had chosen to work together.

Chu Xuan was not worried about Ding Yue's safety. How could the son of fate of the Southern Region die just because he was surrounded?

Moreover, Ding Yue was so powerful that he could kill even a half-step emperor realm cultivator.

Half-step emperor realm cultivators were not real Emperor realm cultivators, after all.

The only thing that made them similar to actual Emperor realm cultivators was that they possessed pseudo-domains.

A pseudo-domain could suppress other truth realm cultivators, but it would not be able to suppress Ding Yue.

Whether it was his Sword Dao or his Firmament Sword body, neither of them could be suppressed by a pseudo-domain.

Moreover, Ding Yue was not without his own trump cards.

If half-step emperor realm experts surrounded Ding Yue, it was likely thatone or two of them would die.

Suddenly, Chu Xuan directed his focus toward the World-purifying Glazed Pagoda.

He could hear the sound of chanting coming from inside the pagoda.

Shutting down the Heaven-Spying Mirror, Chu Xuan looked at Mo Tuo.

At this moment, Mo Tuo was undergoing a transformation.

His entire body was shrouded in Buddhist light, and his head had become bald. His long eyebrows drooped, and he looked very solemn.

It was obvious that he was now an accomplished monk.

Had he already been fully converted?

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. He had converted a Heaven realm demon, and it was very likely that this demon was the first Buddha in the world.

This should be able to trigger the system's reward, right?

The aura around Mo Tuo's body was also surging, and his soul continued to transform.

Chu Xuan condensed a soul seed seal and took the opportunity to implant it into Mo Tuo's soul.

After he was converted, he would become his subordinate, a devout Buddhist disciple, and he would also become a Buddha.

He would not have any bad thoughts toward Chu Xuan, only respect and worship.

Still, Chu Xuan felt that it would be safer to plant a soul seal just in case.

Sometimes, piety and worship could change.

An example would be when there was a difference in ideals.

At this moment, Mo Tuo had just been converted into a Buddha, so he naturally did not have any thoughts of resisting. The soul seal was implanted very smoothly into his divine soul.

Mo Tuo's transformation continued. His strength was also increasing, and The strength of his divine soul was also increasing.

The Buddhist light was flourishing all around him.

He lowered his head and pressed his palms together. The sound of chanting continued to ring out.

He was becoming more and more like an eminent monk.

He began to resemble the image of the legendary Buddha.

At a certain moment, the Buddhist light bloomed and the chanting stopped. Then, the Buddhist light withdrew itself into his body.

"Buddha is merciful!"

Mo Tuo stood up, put his palms together, and knelt down.

"Greetings, Buddha!"

Chu Xuan's divine form condensed and, after he made a few changes, he too had a solemn expression and demeanor.

"Get up."

With a wave of his hand, he moved Mo Tuo out of the World-cleansing Glazed Pagoda.

"You did not leave seclusion, yet converted the world's first Buddha. You have been rewarded with the 24-petal Dao Lotus, Buddha's golden body, Demon-subduing Staff, Seven Treasures Kasaya, and 100 years' worth of cultivation."

The system's reward had arrived.

As expected, Mo Tuo being converted into this world's first Buddha resulted in the system's reward being exceptionally generous.

The 24-petal Dao Lotus was a supreme treasure.

As for the Buddha's golden body, it was a Buddhist cultivation technique, so it could be passed on to Mo Tuo.

Chu Xuan did not need the Demon-subduing Staff or the Seven Treasures Kasaya since he was not a monk.

Naturally, he had to give these to Mo Tuo.

Mo Tuo would don the Seven Treasures Kasaya and hold the Demon-subduing Staff in his hand. He would cultivate the Buddha's golden body technique and have a bald head. He would look solemn and kind.

The once powerful demon had instantly turned into a Buddha.

Chu Xuan looked at Mo Tuo and said in a majestic voice, "Now that you are part of my Buddhist sect, I will give you the Buddha's golden body technique, Demon-subduing Staff, and the Seven Treasures Kasaya."

"Thank you for the gift!"

Mo Tuo knelt on the ground with an excited expression.

Chu Xuan raised his hand and pointed, and the Buddha's golden body technique was transmitted into Mo Tuo's soul. The Seven Treasures Kasaya and the Demon-subduing Staff were also bestowed upon him.

Mo Tuo put on the Kasaya and held the staff in his hand. He was so excited that his long eyebrows trembled.

"Your original name was Mo Tuo. Since you have already converted, the mortal world's fate has nothing to do with you. Today, I will bestow upon you the name 'Buddha Nanwu'."

Chu Xuan changed Mo Tuo's name. Since he was in the Southern Region and was the world's first Buddha, then he should call himself the Nanwu. (T/N: Buddha Nanwu translates to Buddha of the South.)

"Thank you for giving me this name!"

Buddha Nanwu kneeled on the ground again.

"You should condense your golden body and diligently practice the Buddhist Dharma."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and sent Buddha Nanwu into the pocket dimension.

Wang Luo was refining pills when he suddenly felt the light of Buddha blooming. He looked up and saw a bald man with long eyebrows. His bald head was so smooth that it even reflected light.

The other party also wore strange clothes. One look was enough for him to tell that the other party's clothes were extraordinary. They were definitely a divine artifact, or perhaps even a grade above divine artifacts.

Then, he looked at the staff in his hand. It was also a divine artifact or better.

Gulp!

Who was this person?

"Amitabha."

Buddha Nanwu put his palms together and chanted a Buddhist chant. Then, he went off to find a mountain to cultivate and condense his golden body.

He had not forgotten that he was once a demon expert, nor had he lost his memory.

Instead, he had converted into a Buddha, so those memories were regarded as memories of his previous mortal self, before he had attained the Dao.

He was no longer a demon, but a Buddha!

In fact, he even thought about converting the demon race into Buddhas. Somehow, this thought was deeply rooted in his heart.

"Master, who is he?"

Wang Hao was very shocked. Who was that person?

A Heaven realm expert?

Furthermore, the power in his body was very strange. It was powerful and vast, but it was also a power that he had never seen or heard of before.

"Buddha Nanwu. He's my disciple," Chu Xuan said.

To be honest, Buddha Nanwu, Ding Yue, and Wang Luo could be considered as fellow disciples.

"A fellow disciple?"

"Yes and no. His Dao is different from yours."

Chu Xuan did not say much.

After Buddha Nanwu condensed his golden body, he would ask him about the battle in the Asura Ancient Land when the demon race had invaded the Southern Region back then.

After receiving the hundred-year cultivation boost reward, Chu Xuan's strength began to rise, and he broke through to the eighth level of the Supreme realm!

Report chapter

Chapter 120: Ancient Ruin Opens, Surrounded By Half-Step Emperor Realm Experts

Breaking through to the eighth level of the Supreme realm meant that Chu Xuan was one step closer to the Heaven realm.

The Supreme realm and the Heaven realm were separated by a natural chasm.

It was even bigger than the gap between the truth realm and the Emperor realm.

Most importantly, breaking through to the Heaven realm would bring about a tribulation.

Only by passing through the tribulation could one break through to the Heaven realm. Otherwise, one would either die from the tribulation or be severely injured. Those who were injured would have their foundations damaged and they would forever remain in the Supreme realm.

Generally speaking, it was almost impossible to break through to the Heaven realm again, even if one was lucky enough to survive the heavenly tribulation after trying to break through the first time.

The only hope for such people was to obtain a great fortuitous encounter and reach the peak of the Supreme realm again. Despite this, they would still have to face the heavenly tribulation again.

However, such second chances were extremely rare.

Almost every Supreme realm expert who failed but survived the heavenly tribulation would have their foundation severely damaged, and they would not be able to return to their peak again.

They could only remain in the Supreme realm for the rest of their lives.

Chu Xuan was not worried about the heavenly tribulation. He would simply stay in the courtyard and make a quiet breakthrough.

Everything would be managed by the system, so there was no need to worry about the heavenly tribulation.

Moreover, given his deep and sturdy cultivation foundation, he would easily be able to survive and successfully pass the heavenly tribulation.

If even he could not survive and successfully pass the heavenly tribulation, then there was no Supreme realm expert in this world who could do so.

Buddha Nanwu was in the process of condensing his golden body. When he finished condensing his golden body and recovered his strength to its peak, he would have the chance to break through to the Divine realm.

He was no longer a demon, but a Buddha.

In that sense, the road ahead was smooth.

The door to the Divine realm had already opened for him.

Ren Changhe would break through to the Divine realm, and Buddha Nanwu would also break through to the Divine realm. Chu Xuan would then have two Divine realm experts under his command.

The reward from the system for that achievement would not be poor.

Moreover, Chu Xuan felt that, as long as he worked hard, he might be able to break through to the Divine realm before Ren Changhe and Buddha Nanwu.

Wang Luo was already at the ninth level of the truth realm. He was startingto accumulate strength and consolidate his foundation.

He was also preparing to break through to the Emperor realm.

However, his foundation was still a little lacking. He would not be able to find the opportunity to break through for the time being.

Chu Xuan looked in the direction of the ancestral residence. Chu Yun's cultivation level was still weak, so it was time for him to devote some resources to this little sister of his.

He would help her increase her strength as soon as possible.

Chu Yun should also participate in the exploration of the Asura Ancient Land.

He would guide her into the pocket dimension to cultivate.

Chu Xuan made a decision to increase Chu Yun's strength to the truth realm as soon as possible.

Buddha Nanwu was still refining his golden body. His progress was not slow, and it was estimated that he would be able to complete it in half a month or so.

Chu Xuan was not in a hurry to discover the secrets of the Asura Ancient Land. After all, there was still a lot of time until it would open.

On the other hand, the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin was about to open.

Chu Xuan took out the Heaven-spying Mirror and began to observe the process of Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin opening.

He was just watching for the novelty of seeing people explore the ancient ruin. It was very much like watching a movie.

Boom!

Space shook.

Bai Sheng Mountain's ancient ruin was becoming clearer and clearer.

All the people who had obtained a spot looked at the ruin with a solemn expression.

Those who had not obtained a spot were all expelled and had to stay 100 kilometers away from the ruin.

The major forces each sent out experts to guard the entrance of the ancient ruin to prevent people from sneaking in or breaking in forcefully.

Those who had not obtained a spot were either itinerant cultivators or those from small and medium-sized forces.

These cultivators naturally did not have the ability to fight against the combined forces of the major forces.

As for the top experts among the itinerant cultivators, such as that half-step emperor realm expert, they had already obtained a spot. Naturally, they would not stand up for these unrelated cultivators.

Ding Yue looked at the ancient ruin that was about to open.

He expressionlessly still held his long sword. It seemed that he did not sense the malice of Nine Swords Mountain and the other experts.

Boom!

Space shook and a gap suddenly opened. Bai Sheng Mountain's ruin had finally re-emerged from the spatial crack!

The ancient ruin was now open!

"Enter!"

The Nine Swords Mountain elder led Ying Jiankong and the other experts of Nine Swords Mountain to the entrance of the ancient ruin.

Liu Pingfeng also led the Great Qian Dynasty's exploration squad in.

Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, evil imperial court, the Great Qin Dynasty…

All these experts entered one after another.

Han Yingmeng's figure was graceful as she followed that beautiful woman from the Floating Flower Pavilion toward the entrance of the ancient ruin.

As soon as the people from the Floating Flower Pavilion moved, beautiful petals fell from the sky, making them look like fairies amidst a verdant garden.

Han Yingmeng looked at Ding Yue, who was still standing proudly on the mountain peak. She sent him a voice transmission, "Be careful. Nine Swords Mountain and the Great Qian Dynasty are conspiring to kill you."

However, she immediately regretted her actions.

Why did she remind this b*stard?

Had it not been for him, she would not have been belittled so many times.

Ding Yue looked at Han Yingmeng in surprise. What did this woman mean by that?

A friendly reminder?

Or did she want to use this opportunity to gain his favor and get close to him?

Dream on!

She should not even think about messing with my sword heart!

After the cultivators from the Floating Flower Pavilion entered, Ding Yue moved and headed toward the entrance of the ruin.

They wanted to surround and kill me?

Ha!

So what if they have half-step emperor realm experts?

Stepping into the ancient ruin, the first thing that greeted him was a huge broken statue.

The statue was broken; half of its head and one of its arms was missing.

Apparently, it was destroyed during the battle.

Ding Yue saw a name on the base of the statue.

Bai Sheng!

He was the founder of Bai Sheng Mountain.

The sect was also named after him.

Bai Sheng was a famous expert in the history of the Southern Region.

However, he would never have imagined that the sect he founded had been destroyed.

The entrance to the ancient ruin was also the entrance to Bai Sheng Mountain's sect. It was a huge square that had been destroyed during the battle and was full of potholes.

The square was constructed out of gold and jade, and had an array formation engraved on it. Attacks by ordinary Emperor realm experts would not be able to leave a dent on it.

Even so, the square had been destroyed.

This also indicated how powerful the Bai Sheng Mountain sect was back then. The square that served as the sect's entrance was already so extraordinary. It was clear how rich the sect was at its peak.

Yet such a powerful sect had been destroyed.

The battle back then was likely very intense.

Four figures suddenly appeared from the four cardinal directions, surrounding Ding Yue.

All four were half-step emperor realm cultivators!

These people were the Nine Swords Mountain elder, Liu Pingfeng, the red-bearded elder, and the itinerant half-step emperor realm cultivator.

In the distance, many people had stopped by to watch.

The four experts attacked. No matter how strong Ding Yue was, he was not an Emperor or even a half-step emperor realm cultivator. He was almost certain to die.

"Are you really not going to attack?"

The beautiful woman from the Floating Flower Pavilion asked.

She did not think that Ding Yue could survive the attack by the four experts.

Even if he managed to escape this time, he would definitely be heavily injured and die in the ancient ruin.

How could Ding Yue, alone, fight against the combined forces of several major forces?

Han Yingmeng shook her head and said, "There's no need. I don't have much of a grudge with him. Even if I'm angry with him, I won't take the risk."

"Take the risk?"

The beautiful woman did not think that joining the attack was a risky move.

The Evil King's disdainful voice could be heard from afar, "Using numbers to bully the weak. I'm ashamed to be associated with such despicable people!"

Everyone was speechless.

'You're a heretic cultivator for god's sake! Why are you talking about rules and justice?'

It seemed like the Evil King's brain was really damaged.

The experts from the evil imperial court were helpless. They were afraid that the evil king would cause factions to join forces against them, as that would truly be troublesome.

The evil imperial court had always had a bad relationship with the Floating Flower Pavilion and the Great Qian Dynasty. If they provoked Nine Swords Mountain and Heavenly Cauldron Mountain as well, things would not end well for them
