Xiao Chen frowned, but did not pursue the matter further. He only began to question Zhiluan again, when she had calmed down. "Why are you so flustered? What did you see?"
Zhiluan landed and pointed to the northwest, saying, "There's a exit there that has some restriction."
Xiao Chen looked in the direction Zhiluan was pointing at, and saw a white, hazy skyline in the horizon. Rightfully, only the master of a mystic domain knew about its exits, and most of them were covered with obfuscating barriers. "No matter, I'll go and take a look with you tomorrow," he said.
The Immortal's Sword Assembly was drawing near, and even though this realm was abundant with Spiritual Qi, he wanted to leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause Xian'er and the others undue worry. He did not sleep, but began cultivating quietly, while standing guard outside the cave.
Moonlight cascaded down, causing the surroundings to look illusive. Previously, h
Xiao Chen ignored the cat and continued to channel the True Qi in his body. At this moment, two waves of True Qi were clashing in his body. One of them was pure immortal Qi from the Mystic Cyan Cultivation Method he had cultivated over a long period of time, while the other was formed naturally from the 12 Spiritual Meridians in his body. The latter was slightly dark purple in color and looked extremely mysterious. With the assistance of the Mystic Diabolic Enchantment, it expanded a few times. Very quickly, the purple Qi suppressed the white one. Xiao Chen's face was enveloped in black energy, and his pupils had turned slightly red. Zhiluan was greatly shocked. "Stop, kid! Stop!" Suddenly, two sharp rays of energy shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes. "My heart was connected to all life, but how did you people treat me? You destroyed my Nascent Soul! You imprisoned me in the Ghostly Hall that was completely devoid of any light!" He
The mist grew thicker, and soon, it had nearly engulfed the entire valley of flowers. Zhiluan could no longer see beyond a radius of nine meters and began to feel excited. "Meow! What's going on here?" However, he knew that Xiao Chen was at a critical stage of his training and he could definitely not disturb him. Suddenly, huge rays of neon light shot into the sky from the waterfall's direction. Zhiluan could see everything clearly, even though his vision was obscured by a layer of white mist. "Meow! Meow! Are you ascending, kid?" The moment his voice rang out, the vapor around him began to flow quickly and surged toward the neon light from the waterfall. It was not due to the fact that the vapor was being sucked over. Rather, Spiritual Qi around them was being absorbed rapidly. Gradually, the plants and trees around them began to shrivel, causing Zhiluan to exclaim in a strange voice, "This is bad, this is bad! Stop now, kid!
Xiao Chen hurriedly turned his gaze away. At this moment, however, he heard a roar from the Formation Platform. "Xiao Chen! Do you dare to show yourself and fight me!" The shout was as loud as thunder itself and shook some early-stage Core Forming Realm cultivators so badly that their eardrums hurt and they started to see stars. Xiao Chen was shocked. He turned his attention to the screen beneath the platform to see Zuoqiu Yang on it. His hair was combed downward, and green veins protruded underneath the skin of this face. He was trampling on his opponent at the moment. "Xiao Chen! How long more are you going to hide like a coward?" Zuoqiu Yang roared again. He increased the force on his leg, causing his opponent to spew blood and faint. "Good! You don't dare to show yourself! My Vicious Blood Soul-Searching Curse will be able to track you down, no matter which corner of this world you're hiding in!" A commotion had already run
Yang Shaochen moved closer and glanced at Xiao Chen. He then asked Yang Tianfeng, "Uncle, do you know this Brother Xiao?" Yang Tianfeng said joyfully, "Shaochen, this young hero Xiao is the benefactor that I have mentioned several times." Xiao Chen forced a smile, and his eyes remained fixated on Chu Hanyan as he watched her move closer to them. He could not have her mentioning these three words—Three Pure Sect, with these people around them. Before he could speak, Chu Hanyan said, "So this is young hero Xiao? I have heard a lot about you." Yang Shaochen smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, this is my wife, Madam Chu." Xiao Chen was taken aback, but instantly understood what was going on. The people from Violet Manor had always looked down on those who came from the Human World. It did not matter if the person would have high achievements in the future. As long that the person was from the Human World, that person would be a cut bel
Feeling relieved, Xiao Chen made his way back to the yard. Thank goodness that the green robe elder took his side which prevented the rest of the elders from diving deep into the topic. As he reached the yard, he saw that Yu Yifeng and the rest were all there raving about something. "Why... are you guys here?" Seeing his return, Qingyu trotted across to him and said joyfully, "Junior Brother Xiao, Elder of the Immortals' League has decided to let you join the Summit Finals that's happening 3 days later!" Yu Yifeng smiled and said, "Did the elders make things hard for you on purpose?" Xiao Chen grinned and said, "Not at all. But hey, regarding the Immortal's Sword Assembly this time, who have made it into the top 10?" Zhou Li scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "All of us have been disqualified for top 10 except for Senior Brother Yu." "I see. Congratulations, Brother Yifeng." Then
"B*stard! Oh, what a b*stard!" Zuoqiu Yang could not control his anger. He smashed the tea table next to him as well with one hand. It was obvious that for Xiao Chen and his group, most people placed their bets on Xiao Chen as the winner. You could say that 9 out of 10 people wagered that Xiao Chen would win the fight. "Listen to my order! Contribute 3 million Spirit Stones! And use it all to place the bet on me winning!" A disciple carefully raised his head and whimpered, "Young Master... It won't end well if the House Master finds out about this..." Before he could finish his sentence, Zuoqiu Yang glared at him piercing eyes. That disciple trembled and then was flown out by an invisible force that smashed the room door entirely. This frightened out of the wits of the other two disciples. "Yes, Young Master! We will get it done now!" they said hurriedly and left the room with haste. They did not dare to stay in t
It took more than a moment before the pain on Xiao Chen's body eased slightly, but he still looked pale and horrible. Back to his yard, time and again he had been trying to break the Heartless Curse in the night. But it ended with failure each time he tried. He simply could not find where the curse was being placed on his body, so it was imaginable just how powerful this curse was. On the second day, the Summit Finals had begun. It was the elimination round whereby only six out of the twelve participants could stay. The disciples of each sect slowly made their way to the Jade Terrace Mountain grounds. Many of them even came before sunrise to pick the best spot. This time, Murong Xian'er and Zhiluan had followed too to join in the fun. On the way there, Ziyun'er jokingly said to Zhiluan upon seeing this scaredy-cat, "Hey scaredy-cat, aren't you afraid to be taken away again by someone for the use of making pills?" Zhiluan's rage
It took a while before the smoke on the Floating Platform was finally blown away by the wind, and many below the platform took a deep breath of cool air. As the smoke cleared up, Su Zimu stood calmly in the same place. With a fan in his hand and a smile on his face, he looked dashingly handsome. The female disciples started cheering loudly for him. The ever-so-mighty Sixiang Shu now seemed to be at a disadvantage. He held his chest in pain. His face looked pale and ghastly. Everyone was puzzled for a moment and was completely clueless about what had happened. In the distance, Su Wan finally let out a sigh of relief. On the other side of the high platform, there was not much emotional change seen on the face of Su Yue. It was as if she had already expected this outcome. Su Zimu closed his folding fan and knocked it in the palm of his hand. He smiled faintly and said, "No matter how abstruse this martial art is, it is still heterodoxy in the e
