Bring Chu Yuan back?

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

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

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

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

"You won't accept it?"

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

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

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

"My Chu family can't afford it?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

"What?! Emperor-level weapon?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"How special?"

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

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

"Forget it."

Chu Tianming sighed, and his face was dejected.

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

"Is there any news about Qiuluo?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was an empire of heretic cultivators.

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

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

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

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

She could already refine the void unity pill.

Her talent in refining pills was unexpectedly outstanding.

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

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

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

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

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

The other weak sects and forces were not worth mentioning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Purple Moon Kingdom had surrendered.

The Great Yan Kingdom had surrendered.

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

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

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

For example, instilling!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The expressions of everyone in the Chu family were ugly.

Chu Tianming's face was dark all day long.

Many people were blaming Chu Yuan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Southern Region's factions had been reshuffled!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nine Swords Mountain had actually stepped in to help!

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

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

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

How did she get the support of Nine Swords Mountain?

Or was she cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain?

Chu Xuan looked at the information in front of him.

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

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

Hong Fei!

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

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

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

"Interesting."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Things are getting more and more interesting."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There was an emperor-level weapon inside.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He withdrew his divine soul power and ignored the inheritance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inside the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial palace.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Was she still thinking about Chu Yuan?

Was that why she was so distant?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Chu family could only do so much.

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

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

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

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

The waters in the Southern Region truly ran deep.

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

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

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

Occasionally, Chu Xuan would hear Chu Tianming roar.

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

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

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

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

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

It would be strange if they felt good about it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The three-year mark was almost up.

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

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

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

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

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

The youth had a dispirited look on his face.

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

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

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

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

1

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

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

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

"Where did this kid come from?"

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

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

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

He staggered over.

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

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

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

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

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

Su Xian'er looked at Ding Yue in puzzlement.

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

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

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

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

Ding Yue sat on the ground dejectedly.

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

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

Ding Yue cried.

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

He had been justifiably expelled, after all.

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

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

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

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

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

"How tragic!"

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

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

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

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

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

"The savior of trash?"

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

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

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

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

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

Plop!

He knelt down.

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

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

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

He had finally accepted a disciple.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ding Yue's rise was now inevitable.

"Master, can you really make me strong?"

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

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

1

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boom!

Ding Yue felt a vast power surging into his body.

Crack!

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

Boom!

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

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

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

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

His comprehension of Sword Dao suddenly soared at this moment.

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

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

The Aura on his body became increasingly sharp.

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

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

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

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

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

His voice directly entered Ding Yue's consciousness.

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

Boom!

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

Su Xian'er opened her mouth in shock.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1

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

This was a supreme sword technique.

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

He then turned his attention to the Sagemaster Halo.

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

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

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

The system's reward was indeed awesome.

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

Boom!

Cultivation and comprehension were instilled into him.

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

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

Supreme realm cultivators were also known as the Supreme Emperors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even Emperor realm cultivators were powerless against it.

The Supreme Emperor!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Supreme realm! It was finally here!

Chapter 65: Heaven-Shaking Divine Image

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The system's reward soon arrived.

It was a divine ability.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rumble!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The seven-colored divine light bloomed around him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His hair had also turned black.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What was that?

Was that his master's true body?

It was too overbearing and powerful.

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

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

As expected of Master!

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

"Greetings, Master!" Ren Changhe said respectfully.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1

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

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

He almost died in the Fallen God Cave!

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

Chu Xuan was also somewhat speechless.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Their strength was on par with Du Yuan's.

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

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

Xiao Liang?

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