Chapter 131: Martial Intent, The Powerful Bai Shaokong

Although Bai Shaokong's attack stopped, his body moved and he arrived at the entrance of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin extremely quickly.

His appearance there blocked the Evil King and Liu Pingfeng's group, who were fleeing the scene.

"Leave a portion of your gains from Bai Sheng Mountain behind. Otherwise, you'll die!"

Bai Shaokong's aura surged out and his domain power was unleashed, which suppressed the Evil King and Liu Pingfeng's pseudo domains.

The Evil King and Liu Pingfeng's expressions changed slightly. This young sect master of Bai Sheng Mountain Sect did not seem to have reached the Emperor realm, but he was truly infinitely close to reaching it.

He was in a strange realm.

"Are you really the young sect master of Bai Sheng Mountain sect?"

The Evil King asked with a gloomy face.

"If you don't believe me, then have a taste of my Bai Sheng Divine Fist!"

Bai Shaokong raised his fist, and spiritual power condensed around it mysteriously.

The fist intent shook the surroundings, and the Evil King felt a strong sense of crisis.

Even if he blocked this punch, he would still be slightly injured.

He waved his hand and threw out an emperor-level weapon that he had obtained in the ruin, and said, "During this trip, I obtained two emperor-level weapons. I'll leave one with you. If you're not satisfied, then my evil imperial court will fight you!"

At this moment, the Evil King also displayed the domineering air of the ruler of the imperial court.

Bai Shaokong did not respond. He stored the emperor-level weapon away and turned his attention to Liu Pingfeng.

Liu Pingfeng's expression was dark. He threw out more than a dozen artifacts, a broken emperor-level weapon, and some other treasures.

"I only obtained one emperor-level weapon. I can't give it to you!"

Bai Shaokong also did not respond to him.

The Floating Flower Pavilion and Heavenly Cauldron Mountain also left behind some of their gains. The other forces did not even have a half-step emperor realm expert to protect them, so all their gains were taken back by Bai Shaokong.

If they dared to resist, they would be killed.

Qin Changfang arrived late. Hong Fei, the great elder of Nine Swords Mountain, was with him.

The Evil King and Liu Pingfeng were gloating.

There were no half-step emperor realm cultivators in this team from the Great Qin Dynasty.

Their gains would definitely be taken back.

Would Nine Swords Mountain stand out on their behalf?

They did not know if Bai Shaokong would allow that.

"Qin Changfang of the Great Qin Dynasty has been tasked by the Empress to send our greetings to young sect master Bai. We would like to invite young sect master Bai to come to outGreat Qin Dynasty."

The expressions of the Evil King and the others changed.

What did this mean?

Had the Great Qin Empress known about Bai Shaokong's existence?

"The Great Qin Empress?"

Bai Shaokong raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," Qin Changfang replied respectfully.

Bai Shaokong nodded and did not say anything further. Qin Changfang and the others walked to the side by themselves.

The Evil King and the others had gloomy expressions on their faces. Since Bai Shaokong had not taken back the Great Qin Dynasty's loot, it meant that he had made concessions because of the Great Qin Empress.

The Evil King, Liu Pingfeng, and the others, who had learned some secrets about the ancient era, looked as if they were in a state of deep thought.

Ding Yue was the last to arrive.

He glanced at the group of people at the entrance of the ancient ruin and walked toward the entrance by himself.

He had gained a lot from this trip. It was time to go back.

"Stop!"

Bai Shaokong's expression darkened.

The other party had actually ignored him!

"What's the matter?"

Ding Yue looked at Bai Shaokong.

"Leave behind all of your gains from Bai Sheng Mountain or die!"

Bai Shaokong was furious.

Ding Yue's casual gaze was filled with contempt.

"Are you even capable of killing me?"

Ding Yue responded disdainfully and continued to move forward.

"Die!"

Bai Shaokong punched out.

Clang!

A sword flashed as Ding Yue's sword stabbed toward the fist.

Boom!

Unexpectedly, the sword gleam shattered, and the fist's momentum did not stop; it was coming straight at him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ding Yue's expression changed slightly. He felt an intense sense of crisis.

He struck three times in a row!

After blocking the punch, he had already been pushed 1,000 meters back.

Bai Shaokong took one step at a time. The aura surrounding his body grew stronger and stronger. Gradually, a figure with surging battle intent enveloped Bai Shaokong.

"Martial intent!"

The Nine Swords Mountain elder and the other half-step emperor realm experts all had solemn expressions.

At this moment, Bai Shaokong was covered by a 30-meter-long figure, as if he was being protected by it.

His fists emitted intense fluctuations of martial intent.

Everyone present did not doubt that the strength that Bai Shaokong was displaying at this moment was not much weaker than a first-level Emperor realm cultivator.

Han Yingmeng looked at Ding Yue with a strange expression, as if she was worried.

Chu Xuan observed the strength Bai Shaokong displayed through the Heaven-spying mirror. His eyes flashed as if he had already seen through Bai Shaokong.

"Interesting. Before the Bai Sheng Mountain sect was destroyed, they left all of their resources to him."

"Tsk tsk, it looks like he belongs to Qin Ying's faction. Could he be one of his trump cards?"

"In this state, his strength is about the same as an Emperor realm cultivator."

Martial intent was the crystallization of pure martial will. It was a special power similar to domain power.

If one fused it with domain power, its strength would double.

Unfortunately, Bai Shaokong's martial intent was not something he comprehended with his talent. Instead, it was fostered using the Bai Sheng Mountain sect's foundation and resources.

He had been sleeping for a long time and had been fusing with the martial intent using his body. It seemed that he had now succeeded.

If nothing went wrong, he would also be a candidate on Qin Ying's side in their fight for the fate treasure.

Chu Xuan was not worried about Ding Yue. Although Bai Shaokong was obviously stronger, Ding Yue was not weak either.

He had not even used the divine sword energy in his body yet.

Moreover, as Chu Xuan's disciple, he had cultivated concealment and escape techniques. Even if he could not defeat Bai Shaokong, it would not be a problem for him to escape.

After all, Bai Shaokong was not actually an Emperor realm cultivator, and even if he was, given the escape technique that Ding Yue had learned, he could still escape after paying a small price.

Since Ding Yue started cultivating, his strength had increased too rapidly. He lacked some training, so it was best if he could use Bai Shaokong to temper himself.

Inside the ancient ruin, everyone turned to look at Ding Yue.

Ever since Ding Yue appeared, he had been in the limelight. Under the siege of the half-step emperor realm experts, he had killed one person.

He had even destroyed the remnant soul.

Before Bai Shaokong appeared, he was undoubtedly the strongest person in this ruin.

Liu Pingfeng and the Nine Swords Mountain elder exchanged glances. They already had a plan in mind. If there was an opportunity, they would definitely take action to eliminate Ding Yue.

Ding Yue's gaze turned solemn. This was the first time he felt such intense pressure.

Bai Shaokong was very strong.

Even stronger than he was…

But Ding Yue was not afraid at all. He could use this opportunity to temper himself.

He could truly test his Sword Dao, and perhaps even break through some of his limitations in battle.

Boom!

Bai Shaokong hurled a punch. The power of his fist was like a raging wave, surging endlessly. The intense martial intent that accompanied it was even more overwhelming.

The sword intent around Ding Yue's body surged. The power of the Firmament Sword Body technique was displayed at this moment.

The sword intent turned into a surging river of sword gleams. It faced the surging wave-like power of the punch and counterattacked.

Sword versus fist!

Ding Yue's eyes were resolute as he struck with his sword one after another; each sword strike being faster than the one before it.

The surging sword intent was continuously condensing, and looked as if it was about to transform itself into a longsword.

"Sword intent manifestation? No wonder he was so arrogant!"

A fierce look flashed across in Bai Shaokong's eyes as he stepped forward and punched again. He then took another step forward and punched once more.

Fist after fist, his fist intent became more and more turbulent. Ding Yue's attacks were constantly shattered, and his body was also being continuously pushed back.

It would take three or even four sword strikes to block the power of one punch from Bai Shaokong.

As Bai Shaokong continued to attack, Ding Yue felt the pressure become more and more intense. Even the hand he used to attack was trembling.

The surging sword intent started to shake, as if it might completely shatter at any time.

Chapter 132: I Have A Sword That Can Reach The Heavens

Ding Yue kept retreating. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became slightly erratic.

He was still a bit lacking in terms of cultivation.

All of the experts watched this battle with solemn expressions.

The expressions of the half-step emperor realm experts present were especially solemn and complicated.

They were already half-step emperor realm cultivators. As long as the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were restored, they would be able to break through to the Emperor realm.

They had almost reached the limits of what a cultivator below the Emperor realm could achieve. However, when they compared themselves to Bai Shaokong and Ding Yue, they found themselves much weaker.

Bai Shaokong had truly reached the limits of a cultivator below the Emperor realm. He was almost comparable to an ordinary first-level Emperor realm expert.

As for Ding Yue, he was only at the ninth level of the truth realm.

He should not have cultivated to that limit yet.

However, his strength had also surpassed them.

Was this the difference in talent?

Bai Shaokong hurled one punch after another, as if he was strolling leisurely, and as if he had not used his full strength.

On the other hand, Ding Yue kept retreating, and his surging sword intent seemed to be on the verge of shattering.

The outcome was already decided.

Boom!

The increasingly powerful fist force suddenly shattered Ding Yue's river of sword intent. As the fist force was no longer blocked, it instantly smashed into Ding Yue's chest.

Pu!

Ding Yue spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"You managed to block twenty of my punches. You should already be proud of yourself!" Bai Shaokong said coldly.

However, he did not stop there. He hurled another punch.

The moment he did, a thunderous sound boomed. One could see ripples appearing in the air.

The fist force took shape and, like a huge mountain, it descended on Ding Yue.

Ding Yue held his sword with both hands, his messy hair fluttering in the wind. At this moment, his aura had reached its peak.

Sword intent condensed around the sword.

"I, Ding Yue, despise this piece of trash who survived the ancient era."

"I, Ding Yue, am a man who wants to kill gods. There's no way I will lose to someone like you!"

Bai Shaokong's eyes were filled with killing intent. He hated it when others dissed him like that!

"You must die!"

Bai Shaokong's killing intent surged. He took a step forward, raised his hand, and made a grabbing motion in mid-air. The fist force actually retracted.

He then punched again.

"Bai Sheng Divine Fist!"

With Bai Shaokong as the center, the spiritual energy within a hundred-meter radius instantly disappeared. The laws appeared to faintly merge with the spiritual energy in that space.

The merged force condensed around his fist. His soul power also condensed around his fist.

This was an extremely sublime fist technique. Despite Bai Shaokong's cultivation level not reaching the Emperor realm, he had imbued his fist with the laws and spiritual will.

The Nine Swords Mountain elder's pupils constricted. He sensed an intense fatal threat from this fist technique.

He had a premonition that, even if he used his One Sword, he probably would not be able to survive this attack.

It was too powerful!

This fist was comparable to the attack of an ordinary first-level Emperor realm expert.

Not to mention, Bai Shaokong had not broken through to the Emperor realm yet!

Once he broke through to the Emperor realm, how powerful would he be?

When his cultivation level reached the first level of the Emperor realm, he would be as strong as an ordinary second, or even third-level, Emperor realm expert

Was this the strength of a Heaven's blessed from the ancient era?

Thinking back to his younger days, he had also been called a top-notch Heaven's blessed. However, now that he was witnessing this, he knew that he was much weaker than Bai Shaokong.

"Is this the legendary Bai Sheng Divine Fist technique?!" The red-bearded elder muttered to himself.

The Bai Sheng Mountain sect was also a famous one back then.

The founder of the sect, Bai Sheng, was a famous expert in the history of the Southern Region. It was even rumored that he had broken through to the Divine realm.

"Is Ding Yue going to die?" Han Yingmeng muttered.

Even though she was watching from afar, Bai Shaokong's punch gave her a suffocating feeling.

How could Ding Yue block it?

Chu Xuan looked at Bai Shaokong's punch. It was quite powerful. As expected of Bai Sheng Mountain sect's ultimate technique, it had already reached the level of a divine technique.

Bai Shaokong's martial will was now imbued into his body, making this punch even more powerful.

Under normal circumstances, Ding Yue would not be able to block it.

However, Ding Yue was now in a mysterious state. Pressured by this punch, he had the chance to break through his limitations and raise the level of his Sword Dao realm once again.

His innate Heaven's Will Sword Pulse gave him extremely strong comprehension ability when it came to the Sword Dao.

Ding Yue was also looking for a chance to break through his limitations in this crisis.

A golden opportunity had come.

Ding Yue felt an intense crisis. This was a life-and-death crisis. The divine sword in his body trembled and was about to leave his body to protect its master.

He suppressed the trembling divine sword. Faced with this life-and-death crisis, the sword in Ding Yue's hand trembled and his sword intent surged.

His Sword Dao realm, which had always been on the verge of breaking through, finally seemed to take that last step at this moment.

There was no life or death in his heart, and there was no fear.

There was only the sword!

In this world, there was only the sword in his hand.

Ding Yue's Heaven's Will Sword Pulse talent was fully unleashed at this moment.

Faced with this life-and-death crisis, he broke through his limitations in an instant.

His comprehension of the Heaven-reaching Sword technique rose to another level.

"I have a sword that can reach the heavens!"

A murmur could be heard.

Those words seemed to carry an unyielding and indomitable will.

His sword began to emit light.

In his world, only this sword existed.

It was an unparalleled sword.

"A sword that can reach the heavens!"

Clang!

The sword gleam only flashed once, but the incomparably powerful fist was instantly sliced into two halves. The fist force was collapsing.

Boom!

The sword gleam dissipated, and the fist force collapsed.

Everyone looked in shock at Ding Yue, who was half-squatting with his sword on the ground.

Even though he looked like he had exhausted his spiritual power, and was even heavily injured at this moment, he had managed to block that terrifying punch.

Bai Shaokong looked at his fist in shock. There was a bloody scar and shallow wound there.

If it had been inflicted by a cultivator in the same realm as his, he could still accept it. However, the one who broke through the Bai Sheng Divine Fist technique with one sword attack and injured him was only a ninth-level truth realm cultivator.

His opponent had yet to reach the Emperor realm.

"You deserve to die!"

Looking at Ding Yue's gaze, Bai Shaokong felt angry and a little jealous.

This person must not be left alive!

Otherwise, once he developed further, he would become a great enemy.

Bai Shaokong had to admit the fact that, if their cultivation levels were equal, he would definitely be the loser if they fought!

He had gathered the last bit of the Bai Sheng Shan sect's strength and combined it with his martial intent in order to possess such powerful strength.

As for the other party?

How old was he even?

This person was too monstrous!

In this era, could it be that he was really so weak?

He was Bai Sheng Mountain's young sect master, and their final hope and trump card.

Bai Sheng Mountain's experts, at the price of burning their souls, condensed all of their comprehension and martial intent, and passed it down to him.

His talent had naturally been regarded as top-notch in the past.

At this moment, he had just reappeared in this new era, yet he was already being trampled upon by others in terms of talent.

Bai Shaokong could not accept this fact.

Especially when he recalled how Ding Yue mocked him, saying that he was a piece of trash that had struggled to survive the ancient era, his heart almost overflowed with anger.

Ding Yue suddenly stood up and laughed loudly.

As he stood up, cracks appeared on the treasured sword in his hand.

The sword that was close to becoming an emperor-level weapon could not withstand Ding Yue's final sword strike.

"I've finally broken through the second stage of the way of the sword."

Ding Yue was extremely excited and completely ignored Bai Shaokong's angry gaze.

He even cupped his hands and thanked him, "Ancient piece of trash, thank you for your help. I, Ding Yue, have broken through the second stage of the way of the sword ahead of time."

1

"Because of your help, I won't hold your actions against you!"

Bai Shaokong's aura exploded.

His originally cold expression became distorted due to anger.

Chapter 133: The Conclusion of the Bai Sheng Mountain Ruin Exploration

"You deserve to die. Don't even think about leaving Bai Sheng Mountain alive!" Bai Shaokong roared with a ferocious expression.

Ding Yue was not afraid at all. After swallowing another emperor-level pill, he had already recovered 40% of his strength.

He sighed in his heart. Wang Luo's pills were really useful.

He could not beat Bai Shaokong in a fight, but there was no problem in escaping.

Chu Xuan sighed in his heart. Ding Yue was indeed worthy of being the son of fate of the Southern Region.

The Holy Maiden of the Floating Flower Pavilion was looking at Ding Yue with a tender gaze.

This trip to the ancient ruin had yielded a lot of gains for him. If Chu Xuan had not deceived him, Ding Yue would have returned from this trip with a beautiful woman in tow; the kind of person who would stick with him through thick and thin.

As his teacher, Chu Xuan knew his disciples like the back of his hand. He could tell from a glance that Ding Yue was going to escape.

Bai Shaokong made his move; this punch was even more powerful.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yue left a shadow where he had been standing, and his real body had disappeared without a trace.

Boom!

The shadow was shattered by the punch, and the impact of the strike created a big pit on the ground.

Ding Yue's voice could be heard from the entrance of the ancient ruin.

"I won't play with you anymore. I'm going back."

Bai Shaokong was going crazy.

"Stop him for me!" He roared.

The Nine Swords Mountain elder and Liu Pingfeng moved and tried to stop Ding Yue.

However, Ding Yue, who was focused on escaping, was not going to stop for them at all.

The group of people quickly rushed out of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

The moment they came out, Liu Pingfeng and the Evil King's expressions changed. They instantly gathered together and looked ahead warily.

A beautiful figure had appeared on top of a mountain at the entrance of the ruin. She looked majestic, domineering, and elegant!

Great Qin's Empress, Qin Keyun!

"Keyun, stop that person!"

Hong Fei immediately said when he saw Qin Keyun.

No matter what, Bai Shaokong belonged to the Great Qin Empire back then, and his status was extremely important to them now.

Naturally, he had to help Bai Shaokong.

Moreover, since he had already offended Ding Yue, if he allowed the latter to further develop, it would be disadvantageous to the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin keyun raised her jade-like hand, and wisps of slender light flew out as she prepared to seal off the surroundings.

However, when she noticed that the person in question was Ding Yue, her expression instantly changed, and she immediately stopped her actions.

She would not stop him!

She had once seen Ding Yue in Chu Xuan's small courtyard.

She knew that this person was with that terrifying person, and that she could not afford to offend Chu Xuan.

Heck, oo one in the entire Southern Region could afford to offend him.

Ding Yue looked at Qin Keyun in surprise. He felt that this woman seemed a little familiar?

Since she did not stop him, she could be considered a friend, maybe?

After flying for a few miles, his figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Keyun, why did you…?"

Hong Fei had a puzzled look on his face. Why did Qin Keyun not stop Ding Yue?

"You are the Great Qin Empress? Why didn't you stop him?"

Bai Shaokong was furious.

"Young Sect Master Bai, you have just recovered. There are some things you don't quite understand yet."

Qin Keyun said calmly.

Then, she sent him a voice transmission, "Young Sect Master Bai, the person behind him can't be offended."

Bai Shaokong calmed down. He frowned and sent a voice transmission in response, "Who is behind him?"

"Young Sect Master Bai, it's better if you don't know."

Qin Keyun shook her head and did not say anything further.

The Evil King and Liu Pingfeng were afraid that Qin Keyun would make a move, so they did not stay any longer and left quickly.

Bai Shaokong clearly had a connection with the Great Qin Dynasty.

The two of them immediately realized that the Great Qin Dynasty would become one of the strongest forces in the Southern Region with Bai Shaokong joining them.

The curtains on the ancient ruin of Bai Sheng Mountain had finally come down.

The one who gained the most was undoubtedly Ding Yue.

The Great Qin Dynasty had also reaped a bountiful harvest.

Bai Shaokong had become the Great Qin Dynasty's guardian expert.

Chu Xuan had a premonition that as the day the Asura Ancient Land would open approached, some more of the three faction's arrangements would gradually appear.

Ding Yue had returned.

"Master, I'm back."

"Mm, comprehend it well."

Chu Xuan nodded.

He then introduced Chu Pingfan to him.

Ding Yue took out all the gains he had obtained from Bai Sheng Mountain's ancient ruin. Chu Xuan then told him to put it aside and let Su Xian'er handle them.

As for the spirit herbs, he naturally gave them all to Wang Luo.

Ding Yue did not immediately enter the pocket dimension. Instead, he went into seclusion inside the universe space to accumulate his foundation and prepare to break through to the Emperor realm.

Su Xian'er was about to break through to the Emperor realm.

After the exploration of the Bai Sheng Mountain ancient ruin, the Southern Region regained its peace, and the various powers maintained their restraint.

The Nine Swords Mountain, Great Qian Dynasty, and the other powers all bought information from the Black Moon Tower in an attempt to find out who Ding Yue's master was.

However, the Black Moon Tower did not give them an answer.

This caused the various powers to tread carefully, uncertain of Chu Xuan's identity.

The experts who knew some of the secrets of the Asura Ancient Land realized that Ding Yue was a chess piece of another participating faction.

Chu Xuan used the Myriad Heavenly Mirror to connect to the various regions, and also used the Heaven-spying Mirror to investigate the various areas around the Southern Region.

However, he spent more time on cultivation.

After all, there were only thirty to forty years before the Asura Ancient Land would open. This was calculated based on the current rate of recovery of the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region.

It was still unknown whether this date would be brought forward.

He had to raise his cultivation level before that.

Without sufficient strength, how could he control the overall situation?

How could he prevent the experts above the Emperor realm from interfering in the fight for the fate treasures?

Since he had bragged about this in front of Qin Ying, he had to accomplish it. Otherwise, where would his prestige as a peerless expert go?

After he passed the Tyrant Dragon Body technique to Qin Ying, Chu Xuan did not contact him anymore.

As a peerless expert, it was impossible for him to pay attention to an in-name disciple at all times.

Ren Changhe had not contacted him for some time either, so Chu Xuan took the initiative to contact him and also helped him solve some problems he was facing with the Yin-yang God Combination Seal.

Ren Changhe's life-and-death cycle comprehension was successful, and he would soon reach the Divine realm.

Three months later.

Chu Xuan received news that Du Yuan had arrived in the Southern Region.

He asked the Black Moon Tower to arrange a secret place for him to cultivate in peace as he waited for an opportunity.

There were many ancient ruins in the Southern Region.

Chu Xuan had a premonition that, as the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were restored, the sects that had disappeared during the Great War, or some treasure lands, would gradually return.

These opportunities were not something that could be casually conjured.

The universe space was filled with a faint Dao rhythm as the power of the natural laws guided it down.

Su Xian'er was in the midst of a breakthrough.

Chu Xuan took a glance and did not continue to pay attention.

Given Su Xian'er's talent, cultivation techniques, and various resources, breaking through to the Emperor realm would not be a problem.

Moreover, the domain she constructed was guided by the laws of the Great Dao, surpassing the laws of the Heaven and Earth of the Southern Region.

Generally speaking, only after breaking through to the Heaven realm would one come into contact with the laws of the Great Dao.

One would not come into contact with them at the Emperor realm.

The uniqueness of the universe space space, coupled with Chu Xuan's Soul Communion Dao technique, guided the Dao rhythm down, which acted as a catalyst that allowed Su Xian'er to transcend the laws of the Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region and come into contact laws of the Great Dao ahead of time.

She would then break through to the Emperor realm.

After she broke through, her strength would be much stronger than ordinary Emperor realm cultivators.

With her cultivation level at the first level of the Emperor realm, it would not be a problem for her to fight third-level Emperor realm cultivators.

In addition, her domain had the ability to suppress ordinary Emperor realm domains.

In this world, there were countless supreme geniuses and those who obtained fortuitous encounters. Su Xian'er would definitely not be the first to break through to the Emperor realm using the laws of the Great Dao as a catalyst.

Ding Yue and Wang Luo were both in the universe space, watching Su Xian'er's breakthrough. Witnessing this would enlighten them and help them when it was their turn to break through to the Emperor realm in the future.

Chu Pingfan held onto his wooden saber, quietly watching as well.

Chapter 134: Darling, I Fell Just Now

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Three days later, Su Xian'er successfully broke through to the Emperor realm and began consolidating her cultivation.

The system's reward arrived as well.

"Under your careful guidance, your maidservant ignored the restrictions within the Southern Regions and broke through to the Emperor realm quickly. She has become an Emperor realm genius under the age of a hundred and you have been rewarded with 100 years' worth of cultivation."

He received the reward.

As the 100 years' worth of cultivation was infused into his body, Chu Xuan's strength climbed.

Finally, he broke through to the ninth level of the Supreme realm.

He was now one step closer to the Heaven realm.

However, the Heaven realm was a huge bottleneck, and his cultivation would need a big boost to bridge that chasm.

Even if he was rewarded with another 100 years' worth of cultivation, it would not be enough to break through to the Heaven realm.

Chu Xuan silently estimated that even the cultivation boost reward when Ding Yue and Wang Luo broke through to the Emperor realm would not be enough for him to break through to the Heaven realm.

In that case, it would be up to Chu Pingfan.

What realm would he reach once he succeeded in nurturing the saber.

How many years' worth of cultivation would he get from Pingfan's achievement?

Whether or not he could break through to the Heaven realm quickly would depend on which realm Chu Pingfan reached once he succeeded in nurturing the saber.

Chu Xuan was filled with anticipation.

He reckoned that he should be able to break through to the Heaven realm before the ten-year period arrived.

Inside the pocket dimension, Chu Yun was cultivating and had already broken through to the third level of the truth realm.

When Chu Yun had broken through to the ninth level of the truth realm, Chu Xuan would allow her to leave the pocket dimension.

When her foundation had solidified and she was ready for the opportunity to break through to the Emperor realm, he would help her break through to the Emperor realm.

After Su Xian'er had consolidated her Emperor realm cultivation, she became very excited and worked a lot harder.

She cleaned the courtyard and redecorated it.

She resumed her previous routine.

Every day, she would brief Chu Xuan on the information sent over by the Black Moon Tower.

Most of it pertained to the various factions wanting to find out who Ding Yue's master was.

There was also information about the smaller ancient ruins that occasionally appeared in various parts of the Southern Region.

In general, the Southern Region was much more peaceful than before, and there were fewer battles.

In the past, the evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty constantly clashed, but due to the rise of the Great Qin Dynasty, the conflict between the two sides had died down.

The heretic cultivators, who usually committed evil everywhere, were much more restrained.

This was especially so because the evil imperial court had introduced new laws, which resulted in a reduction in the occurrences of heretic cultivators fighting among themselves and bullying the weak.

Thanks to these new laws, there were even a few prodigies who rose up from the lower ranks.

Another month passed.

Chu Yun broke through to the ninth level of the truth realm, so Chu Xuan sent her out of the pocket dimension.

As soon as she left the pocket dimension, Chu Yun ran over and told Chu Xuan that she had entered a mysterious secret realm.

She had been cultivating inside that place for dozens of years, but only dozens of days had passed in reality.

Her cultivation had even risen to the ninth level of the truth realm.

She then spent some time playing with Chu Pingfan in the courtyard for a few days before leaving some pills for him.

During this time, she wondered why Chu Pingfan was still holding onto that wooden saber.

However, seeing that Chu Pingfan liked it, she did not interfere.

After breaking through to the ninth level of the truth realm, Chu Yun had officially become the number one expert in the Chu family. Her confidence increased, and she went out to train again.

This was especially so because she heard that there was an ancient ruin opening.

She wanted to look for a heavenly treasure like the black heart grass to increase Chu Pingfan's level of talent.

After leaving the Chu family's territory, Chu Yun turned around to look in the direction of the small courtyard and muttered inwardly, "Thirteenth Brother seems to be quite powerful."

Even though she was at the ninth level of the truth realm, she still could not grasp Chu Xuan's strength.

After Chu Yun left, her first stop was to head to the Black Moon Tower branch in the Chu County capital to gather information about the ancient ruin.

She also wanted to find out if the Black Moon Tower had any heavenly or earthly treasures for sale that could raise one's talent and aptitude.

As an alchemist, and an extremely powerful one at that, she naturally did not lack money; especially after she had swindled the little evil king's fortune.

The Great Qin Dynasty, Purple Moon County, within a certain city…

In a pavilion in a courtyard, the little evil king was dressed in a white robe. A jade pendant hung from his waist. He had the graceful bearing of a handsome young master.

He no longer possessed the aura of evil and cruelty he had in the past.

Wang Hang stood outside the pavilion and looked at the little evil king, who now looked like a righteous young master. His worldview was on the verge of breaking down.

The little evil king had even asked him to change into a set of decent clothes and behave appropriately so that he would not look like a heretic cultivator.

He did all of this just to pursue Chu Yun.

He did not even know what was wrong with the little evil king's brain or why he was so obsessed with that woman.

"It's over, the evil imperial court is done for."

Wang Hang was filled with despair for the future of the evil imperial court.

The old evil king's head was messed up and he was supporting the current Evil King to push out some new laws. The pair no longer looked or behaved like heretic cultivators at all.

Needless to say, the Evil King's head was messed up long ago.

The current evil imperial court was even more fair and just than the Great Qian Dynasty.

It did not look like an empire that belonged to heretic cultivators at all.

Originally, he had hoped that the little evil king would become the salvation of the evil imperial court in the future.

After all, the little evil king was more abnormal and cruel than any heretic cultivator.

However, what had happened?

The little evil king had suddenly fallen in love with a girl.

He had given all of his wealth to that girl, and even felt very happy doing so.

For that girl, he had actually learned how to be a decent person.

Now, all three generations of past, present and future evil kings had all gone crazy. Was there any hope for the evil imperial court in the future?

Wang Hang's mood was tepid.

At this moment, in the pavilion, the little evil king was consulting with a well-known playboy from the Purple Moon County on how to please women.

"Brother Evil, we don't call women 'babe' anymore. It's too vulgar and disgusting."

"Then what should I call her?"

"Call her 'darling'. Don't look down on the difference that one word can make. The context and feeling it invokes is completely different."

The little evil king looked like he had been taught a valuable lesson.

He then asked, "Brother Tai, what kind of romantic words should we say to the woman that we like?"

"You've asked the right person."

Brother Tai was immediately energized and asked, "Do you see a fish in the water?"

"I do, but what does that have to do with romantic words?"

The little evil king was puzzled.

"How is it not related? You have to use everything you see and think to express your sincerity towards her."

Brother Tai continued, "Listen, Bao, I like fish now. Why do I like fish? Because I like to be with you until death do us part!"

The little evil king's eyes lit up and a thought flashed through his mind.

It was as if he had pushed open a window of inspiration.

"Brother Tai is really a good teacher and a good friend. I've understood many things thanks to you."

The little evil king's fighting spirit immediately soared, and he wished he could immediately meet Chu Yun and say a few romantic words to her.

At this moment, Wang Hang sent a voice transmission to him helplessly, "Your Highness, Miss Chu has appeared in Purple Moon County."

"Brother Tai, I will take my leave first. I'll pay you a visit again in the future."

The little evil king could not wait to leave; his heart had already flown to Chu Yun.

As Chu Yun was searching for spiritual herbs, a figure rushed over quickly.

She frowned. Little evil king?

She heard the little evil king's voice coming from afar. As usual, his tone was full of affection.

"Darling, I fell just now. Why did I fall, you ask? Because I wanted to sleep with you!"

Chu Yun was furious.

The little evil king, this b*stard, was purposely courting death, right?

"Go to hell!"

She waved her hand and her palm struck forth.

A strike empowered by her ninth-level truth realm cultivation was definitely something the little evil king would not be able to withstand.

At this critical moment, Wang Hang appeared and blocked the strike for the little evil king.

Pfft!

Even though Wang Hang had recently broken through to the eighth level of the truth realm, after blocking Chu Yun's palm strike, his body flew backward and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The little evil king, who was behind him, was also sent flying more than ten meters backward.

Chapter 135: The Young Man On The Narrow Path

"Your Highness, run!"

Wang Hang was shocked. How did Miss Chu suddenly become so powerful?

Had she hidden her strength previously?

He got up, picked up the little evil king, and ran.

The little evil king did not give up. He did not understand why he had angered Chu Yun with just one sentence?

Was it wrong of him to speak from the bottom of his heart?

"Darling, I…"

Wang Hang was on the verge of a breakdown. He hurriedly covered the little evil king's mouth and fled.

'You, the little evil king, are very good at killing beautiful women. You tear them up piece by piece and feed them to the fishes. Are you the kind of person who can say sweet romantic words?'

'You were courting death the moment you opened your mouth!'

'You're sick in the head!'

Chu Yun did not chase after the little evil king.

When she recalled the rumors about the little evil king being sick in the head, she felt that there had to be something wrong with the little evil king's head as well.

It was rumored that he was an extremely cruel person who liked to tear apart beautiful women and feed them to the fishes. How could he possibly be truly infatuated with her?

There had to be something wrong with his brain that caused him to behave like this.

Chu Yun did not take the little evil king's actions to heart and continued to search for spiritual herbs. If he were to provoke her again, she would beat the living daylights out of him.

Since he had given all of his wealth to her, she would not beat him to death.

He would be beaten close to death!

Chu Xuan looked at the information about Chu Yun that came from the Black Moon Tower with a strange expression.

Had the little evil king really turned into a simp?

He did not know where he had learned such strange romantic words from.

He was not afraid even though his leg had been broken by Chu Yun once.

Instead, he worked hard to cultivate. He even found a ninth-level truth realm evil general from the evil imperial court to protect him as he continued to talk to Chu Yun.

In order to avoid the fate of having his legs broken by Chu Yun, he cultivated ceaselessly, when he was not bothering Chu Yun that is.

It had to be said that the little evil king's level of talent was really not bad, and he soon broke through to the fifth level of the truth realm.

The most ridiculous time was when he was chased by Chu Yun for hundreds of miles.

Despite that experience, he was still not discouraged and even collected a bunch of spiritual herbs to please Chu Yun so that he would not be chased away.

Chu Xuan shook his head and ignored the little evil king's insanity.

He took out the Myriad Heavenly Mirror and infused his spiritual power into it.

The image projection appeared and connected to an ancient forest.

Chu Xuan felt helpless. He was about to deactivate the Myriad Heavenly Mirror when he suddenly realized that there was a person sitting under an ancient-looking tree.

The black-brown liquid that covered that person's body was demonic blood!

The person looked young, but he was already at the third level of the truth realm. His body was filled with a thick demonic aura.

Although he looked almost the same as a human, if one looked closely, one would be able to tell that he was not a human.

Was he a member of the demon race?

Chu Xuan thought about the information he had read and received about the demon race. Among the demon race, the demon tribe with the most outstanding talent and the highest status was the heavenly demon tribe, whose members looked no different from the human race!

In the demon race, all of the Divine realm experts came from the heavenly demon tribe.

Up until now, only members of the heavenly demon tribe were able to break through to the Divine realm. Therefore, the heavenly demon tribe was the overlord of the demon race.

In ancient times, the heavenly demon tribe hid among the human race, which had caused a lot of losses to the human race.

Someone of the heavenly demon tribe?

Could it be that the Myriad Heavenly Mirror had randomly connected to the Demon Zone this time?

This young man of the heavenly demon tribe had obviously just concluded a big battle, and his body was stained with the blood of his demon race enemy.

The blood of the heavenly demon tribe was no different from that of the human race, so the blackish-brown blood on his body naturally was not his.

"Heaven's Secrets Origin probing technique."

Chu Xuan's interest was piqued, and he immediately used the Heaven's Secrets Origin probing technique.

"Mo Luantian, this heavenly demon tribe member has been despised and humiliated by the heavenly demon tribe because he possesses the bloodline of the human race. In the end, he could not stand the humiliation any longer and betrayed the heavenly demon tribe to roam the Demon Zone as an outcast…"

"The ancient demon bloodline in his body is currently in the process of awakening. Thanks to the awakening of the ancient demon bloodline, he carries the fate of the Demon Zone on his shoulders…"

Chu Xuan had a strange expression on his face. Could this kid, Mo Luantian, be the son of fate of the Demone Zone?

Although the Heaven's Secrets Origin probing technique did not confirm that he was the son of fate of the Demon Zone, it did indicate that his ancient demon bloodline was awakening, and that he had thus obtained the fate of the Demon Zone.

If he was not the son of fate, then who else could it be?

Chu Xuan would not ignore the Demon Zone's son of fate. He had to be taken in.

The demon race was a very powerful race of beings. They had once suppressed the human race for a period of time. Even though they were no longer as glorious as they were in the ancient times, they were still one of the most powerful races in the nine zones.

Although the demon race only occupied the Demon Zone, the Demon Zone itself was as large as three of the human zones.

Mo Luantian possessed the bloodline of the human race. Did that mean that his father had married a human woman?

Or did it mean that his father had once raped a human woman, who then gave birth to him.

Was that why he was spurned by the heavenly demon tribe? Was that why he chose to betray them?

No matter what the situation was, Mo Luantian did not have a good impression of the heavenly demon tribe or even the demon race.

Of course, if he ran over to the human race, he would also be spurned.

He was the son of fate of the Demon Zone. He had awakened the bloodline of the ancient demons and possessed extraordinary talent. The heavy responsibility of transforming the demon race into Buddhas would be handed to him.

Chu Xuan immediately thought of imparting Buddhist teachings to Mo Luantian.

If he successfully imparted the Buddhist dharma to the Demon Zone, and transformed the demon race into Buddhas, that would be a truly heroic feat!

At this moment, Mo Luantian was sitting cross-legged under the ancient tree. He took out a large jar. Inside was some demon blood that had been refined.

Mo Luantian reached into the jar with both hands and shouted in a low voice, "Demonic devour!"

A suction force enveloped the demon blood in the jar. The originally weak Mo Luantian gradually recovered his vitality.

In fact, his aura had become even stronger.

The demonic blood in the jar also lost its energy and started giving off a fishy smell.

Mo Luantian stood up. His eyes were cold as he muttered, "Heavenly demon tribe, I will definitely return one day. You will all one day know that I am the real demon. I will cultivate the strongest demonic technique in the world."

This young man was very ambitious. There was no problem for a member of the demon race to cultivate a demonic technique. However, this would only result in ordinary achievements.

The young man's horizons had to be broadened. He did not have to cultivate demonic techniques just because he was a member of the demon race. Cultivating demonic techniques would only limit his future achievements.

Mo Luantian, this young man, should not be allowed to walk this narrow path.

Chu Xuan felt that it was his responsibility to correct Mo Luantian's skewed perspective and broaden his horizons. Chu Xuan wanted him to realize that cultivating Buddhist techniques would give him a truly boundless future.

No matter how high his cultivation was, he was still a member of the heavenly demon tribe. How could he trample the heavenly demon tribe under his feet without access to their techniques and resources?

However, things were different if he cultivated Buddhist techniques. He would be able to turn the demon race into Buddhas.

If he turned the entire heavenly demon tribe into a Buddhist tribe, Mo Luantian would become a big shot of the Buddhist tribe.

This was the correct path.

Chu Xuan appeared seated on the 24-petal Dao Lotus. The Myriad Laws Dao Robe was wrapped around him. In order to fool Mo Luantian, Chu Xuan deliberately emitted Buddhist light from his body.

At this moment, his form and demeanor was one of solemnity.

"Amitabha!"

Just as Mo Luantian was about to leave, a vast and majestic voice suddenly rang out, piercing straight into his mind. When he heard this voice, Mo Luantian's restless heart actually calmed down.

He raised his head to take a look, and he was shocked.

What kind of powerful existence was this?

Even the Heavenly Demon Tribe's Divine realm elder was far inferior to this person, right?

Although he had never met the heavenly demon tribe's Divine realm elder, he knew that the elder did not possess such a terrifying appearance.

"Young man, the demonic path has no future. This venerable self notes that you possess quite a bit of wisdom. Cultivating Buddhism has a boundless future. Are you willing to convert to Buddhism?"

"Buddhism?"

Mo Luantian was stunned. Even after racking his brains, he could not recall any faction in the nine zones and fifty regions that was called Buddhism.
