Chapter 1: Senior Brother, You Are Truly Brave! Cangxuan Continent, Yu Country, Qinghe City. The streets were a vibrant tapestry of bustling crowds and blooming prosperity. Nestled by the roadside sat a humble tea stall, where a single copper coin bought a generous bowl of chilled tea. A young man in coarse linen garments sat […]

Chapter 2: Zombies Are Human, Yet Not Human Outside Qinghe City. Chu Xuan peeled the skin from He Liang’s face, casually tossing the grisly remnant into the rushing river. “Hastily crafted flesh masks always chafe,” he muttered, rubbing his jaw. He rummaged through He Liang’s Storage Bag, nodding in quiet approval. “Eighty-odd small Spirit Stones,

Chapter 3: So Quiet, and You Still Want to Be a Zombie? The Blood Transformation Spirit Stealing Art was divided into nine layers. Mastering the first layer corresponded to the first level of Qi Condensation. By extension, the ninth layer equated to the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Levels one through three were considered the

Chapter 4: You’re Strong and Sturdy, Perfect for Corpse Refining Chu Xuan’s interest piqued. “Boss Zhao? And who might that be?” Tang Hu blinked, caught off guard, but answered quickly. “Boss Zhao is Zhao Hong! He’s the leader of the Spirit Dog Gang, the biggest faction in Donghu City!” Chu Xuan nodded slowly. “Tell me

Chapter 5: Using Zombies as Flesh Vessels, Cultivating Blood Fang Fruit Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Xuan slurped down a steaming bowl of shrimp and fish cake instant noodles. It hit the spot. Eat instant noodles every day, and they become repulsive. Go without them for long enough, and the

Chapter 6: Help Me Feed Big Black, It’s Been Hungry for a Long Time Ten days later. The Blood Steel Wire finally tore through its cocoon. Chu Xuan inspected it closely. Following its first metamorphosis, the Gu insect had grown significantly thicker, its crimson carapace gleaming with a hardened, metallic sheen. He grabbed a heavy

Chapter 7: Look But Don’t Touch, Browse But Don’t Buy The Haotai Hotel was a mere three kilometers from the Xiaorunfa Mall. In the old world, it would have been a five-minute drive. But this was the apocalypse. The streets were a graveyard of rusted-out husks and shattered billboards. Navigating the urban ruins was less

Chapter 8: Are These Fruits Guaranteed to Be Ripe? Chu Xuan’s ears twitched. He cast a sidelong glance at a nearby table where two Qi Condensation cultivators sat across from one another. “…Fellow Daoist, are there any new bounties posted in Taiping Market?” the gaunt cultivator asked, his voice hushed. “Things are tight lately. I’m

Chapter 9: Thunderous Might, Instantly Killing Three! Chu Xuan didn’t wait at the rendezvous point. Instead, he scaled a nearby hill and crouched behind a jagged boulder, his presence entirely concealed. In times like these, betrayal was the only certainty. The only person he trusted was himself. Lingering out in the open was a fool’s

Chapter 10: Could Senior Brother Chu Have Run Into the Shenggang Sect? Elsewhere. Within a secluded courtyard of the Wu Family Manor, a heavily built cultivator sat cross-legged on a bed, immersed in his cultivation. A jagged wound marred his left arm, laced with lingering sword energy that stubbornly resisted his attempts to purge it.

Chapter 11: High Grade Magical Artifact, Ten Thousand Souls Banner! Chen Ge suddenly pointed at a severed head on the ground, his voice pitching up in shock. “That face! I know him! It’s Wei Peng, ranked ninth among the Shenggang Sect’s inner disciples! The bastard is a master at the seventh layer of Qi Condensation!”

Chapter 12: Little Tiger, Bring Me a Live One! Xu Ming frowned. “Are we really still talking about Chu Xuan? With the severe lack of cultivation resources over the past few months, he’s likely still stuck at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. How could a fourth-level possibly instakill a seventh-level?” “But Senior Brother Chu

Chapter 13: You’re Playing a Very Novel Card Game Wang Bao froze. He recognized this place. A few months ago, he had chauffeured Zhao Hong to this exact RT-Mart. It was the very spot where Zhao Hong’s brother-in-law, Tang Hu, had vanished. Ling Tao’s subsequent investigation had yielded only one conclusion: a high-level Zombie was

Chapter 14: Where’s Zhao Hong? I Don’t Want to Repeat Myself Chu Xuan stood motionless. Xiao Hu blurred into motion, stepping in front of his master. With a sharp *clang*, the Corpse Soldier swatted the incoming barrage of filthy debris out of the air. “Kill them,” Chu Xuan said, waving a hand dismissively. “Leaving them

Chapter 15: Compared to the Living, the Dead Are More Obedient It happened in a flash. The sheer, explosive velocity of the firearm caught even Xiao Hu off guard. Despite the Zombie’s instinct to lunge forward and shield its master, it was a fraction of a second too slow. Chu Xuan stared down the pitch-black

Chapter 16: Searching for an Array Site, Level Three Psionic Core A bloody feast unfolded within the Haotai Hotel. Xiao Hu, Xiao Bao, and the two spirit hounds possessed strength that utterly eclipsed that of ordinary humans. A storm of gore trailed in their wake, accompanied by a ceaseless chorus of agonized screams. Chu Xuan

Chapter 17: Our Linjiang Province Actually Has a Cultivator! Old Zheng’s chest tightened. Logically, he shouldn’t reveal the contents of the box. But the young man standing before them had just saved their lives—and displayed terrifying, overwhelming strength in the process. Playing coy now was pointless. Honesty was the only viable survival strategy. He pulled

Chapter 18: Merit Descends! Golden Flowers Scatter! Chu Xuan cast a brief, dismissive glance at the retreating figures of the three survivors before turning his attention to the task at hand. The real harvest was about to begin. Activating the Blood Transformation Great Array took priority over everything else. Guiding his flying sword, he ascended

Chapter 19: Qi Condensation Seventh Layer, High-Grade Spell Netherfire Bomb Hao Tai Hotel. Dusk had already settled over the ruined city by the time Chu Xuan returned. He grabbed a cup of instant noodles and two cans of beef, casually prepping his dinner. Once a cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they achieved Inedia—subsisting entirely

Chapter 20: I Get the Idea, Just Don’t Puke on Me The third floor of the building was swallowed in gloom. Wang Yong stepped into the dim room. A slender woman sat rigidly in a corner chair, trembling like a leaf. Beside her, a dark-skinned man with a sharp buzz cut sat glued to a

Chapter 21: High Grade Aptitude! Level Seven Corpse Soldier! Black Vanguard Security Company. Outside the three-story headquarters, Wang Yong arrived once again. The same burly guard blocked his path. Wang Yong cupped his hands around his mouth and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Boss! I’ve got massive news! Life or death stuff!” A

Chapter 22: Foundation Building Blood Pill, Soul-Nourishing Flower When Righteous cultivators attempted to shatter the Bottleneck to the Foundation Establishment stage, nearly all of them relied on a Foundation Establishment Pill. Only a vanishingly small number of peerless geniuses could liquefy their spiritual power naturally. But the pills were notoriously difficult to acquire. The primary

Chapter 23: The Highway, Wolves on All Sides Wang Yong chewed on the problem for a long moment before finally breaking the silence. “Those monsters are sitting right on the highway, completely cutting off the route from the Linjiang Army camp to our doorstep.” “They even ambushed a fully armed Linjiang Army squad. Only one

Chapter 24: You Have a Brain, But Not Much A deafening howl shattered the silence. The Wolf King unleashed a vicious roar, commanding the dozen-odd giant wolves surrounding them to lunge forward. Chu Xuan didn’t so much as flinch. “Keep the strongest ones alive,” he ordered casually. “Slaughter the rest.” Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, and

Chapter 25: My Foundation Establishment Path Relies on You Shattered timber and scorched earth painted a picture of absolute devastation. The Linjiang Army squad stood frozen, their faces pale as they surveyed the clearing. A thick carpet of mangled flesh, shattered bone, and coarse gray fur covered the forest floor. The giant wolves were apex

Chapter 26: Back to Taiping Market, Trouble Knocks Again Baleful aura—the fierce, impure, and malignant energy released at the exact moment of a living being’s death. Righteous cultivators avoided it like the plague. Demonic Cultivators, however, savored it. To a Demonic Cultivator like Chu Xuan, this death energy was a highly versatile resource. It could

Chapter 27: You Seem to Have Some Strength. Which Piece of Trash from the Wuji Sect Are You? The young cultivator carried twin swords on his back and a perpetual, serene smile on his face. Among the Qi Condensation disciples of the Shenggang Sect, only one man carried himself with such distinct, hypocritical arrogance. The

Chapter 28: You’ve Got That Backwards “I have nothing to hide,” Chu Xuan said, his voice a placid pool. “My name is Xu Ming.” Ouyang Hao offered a thin, aristocratic smile. “Xu Ming? Excellent. You have the honor of becoming the twenty-fifth soul to perish beneath my blade.” *Xu Ming?* Chen Ge and Wei Hua

Chapter 29: Refining High-Grade Magical Artifacts, Strength Greatly Increased! Chu Xuan returned to his previous cave hideout. He hauled a massive boulder over to seal the entrance, layered several Formations over the perimeter, and finally cracked open Ouyang Hao’s Storage Bag. A quick sweep of its contents nearly blinded him. Truly worthy of a Shenggang

Chapter 30: Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method, Blood Fiend Demon Refining Sutra! Liu Zhenxiong’s gaze swept over Chu Xuan, assessing him as if seeing the Qi Condensation junior for the very first time. “What realm have you reached? You must be at least at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation, yes?” “I recall that back when

Chapter 31: Senior Brother Chu Is Too Selfless! Liu Zhenxiong paid no mind to Xu Ming’s sour attitude. Minor friction between disciples was perfectly normal; he had no intention of wasting time on such trivialities. “With Ouyang Hao injured and driven off by Chu Xuan, the Shenggang Sect will undoubtedly tear through Taipingfang and the

Chapter 32: A Genuine Alchemist! A day later. Chu Xuan was in the middle of practicing his spells when an intoxicating fragrance washed over him. This wasn’t a scent that registered in the lungs—it bypassed the flesh entirely, sinking its hooks directly into the soul. His eyes snapped open. A predatory grin spread across his

Chapter 33: Liquefying Spiritual Power, the Great Path of Foundation Establishment! An hour later, the third furnace yielded success. Chu Xuan now held two freshly refined Foundation Building Blood Pills. Combined with the standard Foundation Building Pill looted from Ouyang Hao’s Storage Bag, he had three chances to shatter the bottleneck and reach the Foundation

Chapter 34: The Zombie Horde, Isn’t This the Perfect Opportunity to Create a Yin-Fiend Land? The so-called Yin-Fiend Steel was nothing more than hundred-folded steel steeped in massive amounts of Yin and Fiend energy. And hundred-folded steel? Simple refined iron would do the trick. Chu Xuan’s Storage Bag was already packed with refined iron, originally

Chapter 35: Holy Shit, a Sword Immortal? Led by Tang Jinchuan, the three men slipped into the abandoned bus depot. The compound was no different from the rest of the ruined city. Mutated weeds choked the cracked concrete, their unnatural growth fueled by ambient psionic energy, tearing through the solid ground. The depot was a

Chapter 36: Yin-Fiend Soul-Stealing Grand Array, Three Hundred and Sixty Formation Flags Tang Jinchuan stared, utterly paralyzed. High above the apocalyptic ruins, a figure descended, his robes snapping in the wind as if he were riding the very air itself. His gaze was as sharp as lightning, carrying a pressure so heavy it felt as

Chapter 37: Even the Most Powerful Awakened One Is No Match for a Zombie Horde Over an hour later, Tang Jinchuan and his two subordinates finally stirred. A blinding agony throbbed behind their eyes—a crushing pressure that felt as though a stampeding elephant had trampled their skulls a dozen times over. The two burly subordinates

Chapter 38: Zombie Horde Attacks, Eerie Mist The evacuation convoy ground to a halt on the elevated highway bordering Donghu City and Shuanglong City. From this vantage point, the southern expanse of Donghu stretched out below them like a decaying corpse. Wang Gangjian vaulted onto the roof of an armored transport. He raised his binoculars,

Chapter 39: Words End Here, Do Not Approach After chewing on the problem, Wang Gangjian settled on a compromise. “I’ll scout the perimeter alone to see what exactly is happening. If things look bad, we pull out immediately.” The unspoken implication hung in the air: if it wasn’t a threat, they were staying. The Black

Chapter 40: Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds! Soul-Cleansing Golden Rain! Chu Xuan stepped past the boundary of his Formation, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. Suddenly, a strange resonance stirred within his chest. He snapped his gaze upward. The smog-choked apocalyptic sky had fractured. In its place, Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds roiled and churned. The vibrant mists

Chapter 41: Yin-Fiend Evasion, Yin-Fiend Demon Claw Thirty-six days later. Chu Xuan exhaled a long breath of stale air. Fatigue lined his face, but his eyes burned with a sharp, predatory light. A pitch-black chain hovered in the air before him. It pulsed with a sickly, ghostly luminescence. If one listened closely, the faint, agonizing

Chapter 42: Foundation Establishment Second Layer, The Wu Family Raid Half an hour later. Five commanders from across Longjiang City converged on the General’s Mansion. They were a motley crew—some towering and built like brick outhouses, others gaunt and skeletal. “Why the sudden summons?” “No idea, but it has to be big.” “Obviously. There are

Chapter 43: Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Killing Innocents to Claim Merit Chu Xuan stowed his Heavenly Dipper Flying Sword and continued on foot, his pace unhurried. The jagged peaks of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range loomed ahead, shrouded in a thick, unnatural fog. Just as he stepped toward the tree line, four figures descended from

Chapter 44: Liu Zhenxiong, Stop Right There and Accept Your Death! Chu Xuan ruthlessly drove the freshly harvested living soul into the Fiend Soul Chain. A soul’s worthiness to become a true fiend soul required brutal tempering. If it lacked the sheer malice to survive the process, it would simply shatter, reduced to mindless nourishment

Chapter 45: A Twenty-Nine-Year-Old Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Greetings, Uncle-Master Chu! Chu Xuan raised a brow. Hadn’t the rumors insisted that Wan Wuying was dead? Supposedly, three Golden Core experts from the Shenggang Sect and Jinlong Temple had joined forces to slay him. How was he suddenly alive in Liu Zhenxiong’s mouth? “Fellow Daoist,” Liu Zhenxiong

Chapter 46: Soul Forging Incantation, Blood Bug Tome Chu Xuan was no reckless brute. A moment of cold calculation told him the truth: rescuing a Golden Core Patriarch required at least four Foundation Establishment cultivators to even stand a chance. And right now, Wu Teng was still unconscious, half-dead from his injuries. “There is one

Chapter 47: Blood Steel Wire’s Second Transformation, Boiling Blood Art! The Blood Steel Wire bobbed its tiny head, practically vibrating with hunger. Chu Xuan arched an eyebrow, a memory from the *Blood Bug Tome* surfacing in his mind. The Blood Steel Wire was a descendant of an ancient, exotic parasite known as the Gold-Devouring Blood

Chapter 48: Jinlong Temple, Battle Monk Huikong! Chu Xuan channeled his spiritual power into the Array-Breaking Mirror. The glass shimmered, revealing a glowing web of ethereal threads invisible to the naked eye. These spectral lines acted as a map, pointing directly to the hidden formation flags. Even without locating the central array core, systematically destroying

Chapter 49: Secret Tattoo Sutra, Evil-Suppressing Tattoo! A low, guttural roar tore from Huikong’s throat as his muscles swelled, straining against his monk’s robes. Beneath his skin, hidden golden dragon tattoos flared to life, peeling off his flesh to manifest in the physical world. In an instant, phantom dragons soared above Cloud Mist Manor. Their

Chapter 50: Ridiculous, You Think Such Trash Spell Can Hurt Me? Chu Xuan stared at the furious, bewildered Huikong. His own expression remained as placid as a dead well. Did the monk really think Chu Xuan had spent all that time prone on the roof just to enjoy the view? He had been hunting. Analyzing.

Chapter 51: Wuji Sect Disciple Chu Xuan, Greets the Ancestor Liu Zhenxiong hauled Wu Teng to his feet, and the four cultivators ventured deeper into the manor. It didn’t take long for Li Xuanming to locate the hidden mechanism. A heavy stone door ground open, revealing a dark stairwell leading deep underground. They descended in

Chapter 52: This Venerable One Is Willing to Lead My Extreme Yin Cave Lineage to Join the Tianyin Sect Wan Wuying studied Chu Xuan with gleaming interest. To the Golden Core Ancestor, the young man was a rare, uncut gem. Such promising seedlings were practically extinct nowadays. With the Wuji Sect annihilated, the five righteous

Chapter 53: Old Ghost Wan, Don’t Joke with Me! The middle-aged cultivator swallowed hard. He wasn’t the only one. Every Tianyin Sect disciple in the courtyard mirrored the nervous gulp. A Golden Core powerhouse stood right in front of them. None of them possessed the courage to point a finger at his nose and denounce

Chapter 54: Taming Huikong, Fiend Soul Achieved Wan Wuying shrugged. “How should I know?” Chu Xuan suppressed a sigh. So much for keeping a low profile. His cheap Master had sold him out just to flex. Having a Master who loved the sound of his own voice was going to be a massive headache. Outwardly,

Chapter 55: Opening a Cave Dwelling, Naming it Water Curtain Cave By the time Chu Xuan and the other three arrived, the mountain peak ahead had been sheared entirely flat, transformed into a sprawling Daoist practice ground. Nestled at the dead center of the surrounding peaks, it was the perfect arena for the disciples of

Chapter 56: Top Grade Defensive Magical Artifact, Merit Bell! Chu Xuan pulled out Huikong’s Storage Bag. Ever since he slaughtered the Jinlong Temple monk, he hadn’t had a single moment to breathe. He’d plunged straight into the underground palace to rescue Wan Wuying, then immediately fled Misty Cloud Manor for Feishan Hall. Only now, sealed

Chapter 57: Two-Headed Python, Lifebound Gu Hailan Planet. Donghu City. The Haotai Hotel. Chu Xuan materialized on the familiar concrete of the rooftop. He preferred the vantage point up here, high above the ruined streets, rather than the claustrophobic confines of the hotel suites below. The moment his boots touched the ground, a joyful roar

Chapter 58: I Suggest the Three of You Invite the Cultivator at the Haotai Hotel Meanwhile, at the Linjiang Army’s temporary encampment. Situated right next door to the Black Vanguard Security Company, the military camp dwarfed the mercenary group’s meager cluster of buildings. It reeked of the sharp, disciplined efficiency of a regular army. Inside

Chapter 59: Encirclement of the Two-Headed Python, Death of a Commander! A massive wake tore southward down the Dragon River. Beneath the churning surface, a colossal creature fled for its life. The apocalypse had comprehensively mutated the physical attributes of Esper creatures, but intelligence was a different story. Most possessed the cognitive capacity of a

Chapter 60: Steal My Yin-Fiend Qi, You Shall Die Deafening explosions rocked the riverbank as a barrage of attacks slammed into the Two-Headed Python. Scales shattered. Flesh tore. The massive beast shrieked in agony. Its earlier provocations had failed completely. It had tried to enrage the Awakened Ones, hoping to lure them into the churning

Chapter 61: Extracting Souls and Seizing Spirits! Immortal Methods! “That was merely a Zombie under the Immortal’s control. If he were to strike personally, the Two-Headed Python would have died on the spot,” Tang Jinchuan murmured in awe. Beside him, Wang Jiangang and the rest of the survivors—who had harbored lingering doubts about the Immortal’s

Chapter 62: Must Pull Him into the Linjiang Army’s Camp “It’s alright, Brother Xiong. It’s not your fault. None of us expected him to actually be an immortal…” “Before we deployed, I told Qiao’er that immortals were just myths. If they were real, they would have saved Hailan Planet before the apocalypse tore it apart.”

Chapter 63: Hanhai Province, Boat Gang Hanhai Province. Dominated by the sprawling expanse of Han Lake—one of the largest inland bodies of water in the Yanhan Celestial Dynasty—and bordered to the east by the boundless East Sea, the province’s name literally meant “Sea of Han.” For centuries, Hanhai’s waterways had been its lifeblood. Fleets of

Chapter 64: Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer! The Descendant of the Corpse Empress! The Boat Gang leader drummed his fingers against the table. “Ji Shengyu and He Shengliang… Those two stayed with the Boat Gang for over a year, yet they never showed any intention of putting down roots.” “And now they’ve just vanished?” “Yeah… and

Chapter 65: The Three of Us Came Together, Yet You’re the Only One Howling Nonstop. So Embarrassing! Chu Xuan’s divine sense swept outward, instantly enveloping the towering high-rise. Within moments, the peculiar nature of this zombie horde became clear. Every single one of these runts had been spawned by a single Zombie Broodmother. Functioning much

Chapter 66: This Man is Too Terrifying “Blood Refining Corpse Fire!” Chu Xuan growled. Spiritual power erupted from his core, cascading downward to completely enshroud the hundred-meter-tall building. Even with his current reserves, enveloping a structure of this scale was taxing. He immediately downed several vials of spirit-replenishing water to offset the massive drain. Thus,

Chapter 67: Refining the Blood Fiend Puppet Shadow! Three Corpse Generals! Chu Xuan stared down at the Corpse Mother, his voice devoid of warmth. “Your sole purpose now is to produce neutered zombie spawn. They will not eat. They will not move. They will not think.” He gestured to the sprawling rooftop. “They are the

Chapter 68: If Senior Uncle Chu Joins In, We’ll Definitely Make a Fortune! Chu Xuan circled the sky atop his Heavenly Dipper Flying Sword. Sweeping his senses over the area, he noted that his three Senior Brothers—Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Wu Teng—were still in Secluded Cultivation. Truly, time lost all meaning in the mountains;

Chapter 69: Rest Assured, Martial Uncle, I Will Definitely Complete the Task! Chu Xuan and his two juniors finally deposited the mortal refugees at a settlement generously dubbed “Plains City.” It was the first mortal enclave established under the protection of the Extreme Yin Cave, though it had only existed for a little over two

Chapter 70: Nurturing Fiend Grand Array, Demonic Array Illustrated Guide Chu Xuan sat in the third-floor private room, nursing his second cup of bitter Maojian tea. Heavy footsteps soon echoed on the wooden stairs, and a figure stepped through the doorway. Chu Xuan’s gaze swept over the newcomer—a young male cultivator draped in white. The

Chapter 71: The Meaning of Win-Win is Winning Twice Yourself, No Problem! Chu Xuan’s right hand, reflexively tensed behind his back, only relaxed once the burly smuggler surnamed Han finally looked away. His six senses were exceptionally sharp. He had caught the smuggler’s probing gaze the instant it landed on him. But since the man

Chapter 72: My Gu Insects, Don’t Stare Too Much Five days later. Noticing hairline fractures webbing across the Mother Stone, Chu Xuan departed Hailan Planet and returned to his cave dwelling. From there, he made his way back to the teahouse in the Nameless Market. Cultivator Han was already waiting. Beside him sat a gaunt

Chapter 73: Hatching the Eggs, New Gu Insects Spiderweb cracks fractured the surface of the black egg. Under Chu Xuan’s cold gaze, the shell abruptly split apart. A soft, black larva lay curled inside. Though covered in a carapace, the shell was as fragile as wet paper, ready to tear at the slightest touch. Its

Chapter 74: Could It Be That the Extreme Yin Cave Lineage Is Also About to Be Drawn Into the Battle? Chu Xuan offered a polite smile and a nod. Beside him, Liu Zhenxiong gestured enthusiastically. “Junior Brother, allow me to introduce Zheng Changqing, a distinguished disciple of Senior Zhao Wuya. He is an Expert in

Chapter 75: How Many Battles Are Fought Today, Who Knows How Many Will Return Another month slipped by in the Water Curtain Cave—a span of time equivalent to ten grueling months on Hailan Planet. Chu Xuan spent the vast majority of his days cultivating within the bloody haze of the Soul-Snatching Fiend-Nourishing Grand Array in

Chapter 76: Officially Entering Wuzhou, Arriving at Iron Thread Mountain Chu Xuan and the four other disciples rode their flying Magical Artifacts past the borders of the Extreme Yin Cave, finally crossing into the true Wuzhou. Suffocating humidity, blistering heat, venomous insects, and roaming ghosts… Add in the indigenous cultivators lurking in every shadowed corner,

Chapter 77: The Only One We Can Rely On Is That Immortal Elsewhere. Chu Xuan and Zhou Yu were nearing the edge of the mist when a cold snort echoed from behind them. “Hmph. Trying to escape?” “Leave your lives behind!” A foul, putrid gale struck without warning. Zhou Yu didn’t even have time to

Chapter 78: Mushroom City! Mushroom People! High above the clouds, Chu Xuan soared on his Heavenly Dipper Flying Sword. A few mutated birds, overestimating their predatory prowess, foolishly attempted to make a meal out of him. He slaughtered them without a second thought. Gazing down at the desolate ruins below, a flicker of intrigue crossed

Chapter 79: Retreat Quickly, the Immortal Is Coming for You! The Boat Gang carved a bloody path through the encroaching horde of mushroom people, finally breaking into the eastern district. But their desperate relief shattered instantly. The rearguard squad they had left behind stood frozen in the ruins. Their eyes were vacant, milky voids, their

Chapter 80: The Terror of the Immortal, I Have Long Since Witnessed It The Stinky Yellow Mushroom trembled, its voice dripping with terror. “We have no intention… of opposing the Immortal. Please… let me go back…” Chu Xuan smiled faintly. “You want me to let you go, yet you’re secretly venting spores to signal your

Chapter 81: Little Grass King, Are You Here to Help Me? Chu Xuan looked at the two talking mushroom men, a faint, clinical smile touching his lips. Having established the Hundred Wood Spirit-Nourishing Array and synthesized the wood-attribute spiritual object, he had immediately begun hunting for the so-called ‘Big Brother,’ ‘Second Brother,’ and ‘Third Brother.’

Chapter 82: Immortal, I Hope We Never Meet Long ago, the Mushroom Four Brothers had forged a pact with the Little Grass King. It was a simple alliance: mutual non-interference and strategic support. In fact, it was the Little Grass King who had recently suggested they expand their territory outward from the Great Dream Marsh.

Chapter 83: Betray Me, and Ten Thousand Corpses Will Devour Your Flesh; Your Souls Shall Be Denied Reincarnation! Wang Gangjian and Tang Jinchuan stood anxiously outside the Haotai Hotel. The thick mist churned restlessly around them, rolling as if it concealed a thrashing dragon. This was their fifth visit in the past few days, a

Chapter 84: Three Years Later, Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer! A moment later, Wang Gangjian snapped his eyes open. His physique had undergone a monstrous transformation. Muscles bulged beneath his skin like jagged granite, and his heart hammered against his ribs with the heavy, rhythmic thud of an industrial pump, driving oxygen-rich blood to every extremity.

Chapter 85: Thirty-Three Wood Attribute Spiritual Objects, Vile Wood Spirit Body Minor Achievement! Chu Xuan soon arrived at the perimeter of the Hundred Wood Spirit-Nourishing Array. Four Yin Corpses stood guard, their dead eyes scanning the wasteland with tireless vigilance. Each radiated the oppressive aura of a fourth-grade Corpse Soldier. When Chu Xuan first refined

Chapter 86: Late Foundation Establishment! Returning to Wuzhou! The chaotic clamor of the outside world meant nothing to Chu Xuan. Anchored by his Vile Wood Spirit Body, he methodically assaulted the bottleneck of the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment. He had sat in unbroken meditation for a full year. Today, the dormant aura within him

Chapter 87: Those Who Dare to Enter My Iron Thread Mountain, All Must Die! Three hundred miles north of Iron Thread Mountain. Three figures streaked across the sky, riding atop flying Magical Artifacts. At the forefront stood a man in fluttering white robes. With his handsome, pristine features, he looked every bit the immortal scholar.

Chapter 88: You Are the Weakest of the Three—Who Else Would I Kill! Liu Zhenxiong barely spared the swarm a glance. “Black-Backed Scarabs. First-turn Gu,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “Burn them to ash.” Li Xuanming nodded, channeling his spiritual power into the Blood Refining Corpse Fire. The sickly yellow flames roared to

Chapter 89: Chu Xuan, You’ve Come at the Wrong Time, Run! The leading Gu Master seized the opening. Uncorking a small vial, he channeled his spiritual power, releasing a cloying floral scent that drifted deep into the Wolf Soul Killing Array. The moment the strange perfume touched Liu Zhenxiong’s senses, his monstrous physique faltered. His

Chapter 90: Exterminating Thousand Bug Sect Gu Cultivators Is Our Bounden Duty! Fellow Daoist Chu, Why Would You Say Such A Thing! Though it takes time to describe, the slaughter unfolded in less than a hundred breaths. By the time Li Xuanming and the others processed the carnage, the three Gu Masters from Iron Thread

Chapter 91: Fellow Daoist Zhou, Have You Figured It Out? Planning to Feed Yourself to a Corpse or the Bugs? Two hours later. At the foot of Iron Thread Mountain, six corpses lay strewn across the clearing. All of them were Gu Masters from the Thousand Bug Sect. Upon seeing the distress talisman Chu Xuan

Chapter 92: Top Grade Magical Artifact, Blood Bee Hive! The treasures inside Chen Zhaofeng’s Storage Bag were too numerous for Chu Xuan to count. First to catch his eye was a small mountain of low-grade Spirit Stones. A rough count revealed over 4,000 pieces. Even middle-grade Spirit Stones formed a small mound of at least

Chapter 93: Excellent! We Shall Proceed According to This Plan! Thousand Bug Sect. A masked cultivator took a seat in the main hall. At the head of the hall sat an old man with flowing white hair and a matching beard. This man was none other than Hundred Gu Daoist, one of the three Golden

Chapter 94: Returning to the Nameless Market, Encountering Old Acquaintances Again Chu Xuan filtered the ambient chatter through his senses. Duan Feipeng, Wang Jianyu, Han Liuyun—he recognized the names. They were the rare, unparalleled geniuses of the Tianyin Sect. Collectively dubbed the Tianyin Three. The Golden Core ancestors of the Tianyin Sect publicly declared that,

Chapter 95: Boiling Blood True Art, Protective Golden Wheel Art The Tianyin Sect prided itself as one of the five great orthodox sects. Before the invasion of Wu Province’s native sects, the majority of their cultivators treated demonic methods as a strict taboo. Whatever depravities they committed in the shadows, their public facades remained immaculately

Chapter 96: Pick the Soft Persimmon to Squeeze, Our Target is Chu Xuan Chu Xuan did not delay. He immediately headed to Wan Wuying’s cave abode. Upon arriving, he found Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Wu Teng already waiting. Wan Wuying wasn’t lounging on his bone throne as usual. Instead, he paced the floor, his

Chapter 97: I Have a Scent-Tracking Insect, I’ll Find Him Soon Zhou Yu’s heart violently spasmed. He picked the weakest one? And this “lucrative opportunity” just happened to fall into my lap? Bullshit. This bastard was shoving me straight into the meat grinder! Zhou Yu masked his panic. He feigned surprise, “Fellow Daoist Lu, I

Chapter 98: Chu Xuan, I’ll Fight You to the Death! The next second, Zheng Changqing’s bewildered voice echoed. “Huh? Why am I falling toward the ground?” “Whose headless corpse is that?” “Junior Brother, what’s going on?” He never heard Lu Yin’s answer. Because a freezing, absolute darkness had already swallowed him whole. Thud. The decapitated

Chapter 99: You Are Not Allowed to Leave, I, Li Xuanming, Do Not Agree! Chu Xuan calculated he lacked the absolute certainty to slaughter the opponent quickly. Judging by the burly man’s defensive posture, the feeling was mutual; continuing the death match guaranteed neither of them a clean kill. Dragging this out would only bleed

Chapter 100: Foolish, If I Kill You, Your Things Will Also Be Mine Li Xuanming’s face remained devoid of a single shred of pity. When the Wuji Sect was annihilated, he had clawed his way out of a siege of countless righteous cultivators using these exact methods. A true Demonic Cultivator was forged in cruelty

Chapter 101: Stop Hiding, Come Out There were numerous factors contributing to Chu Xuan’s ability to so rapidly defeat a cultivator of Duan Feipeng’s caliber. First, Duan Feipeng had consumed a significant amount of spiritual energy in the previous battle and had already used his most powerful attack technique. This was precisely why Chu Xuan

Chapter 102: Li Xuanming… He Did Nothing Wrong, Why Did You Kill Him? The fall of the Golden Core cultivator was the final crack in the dam. In an instant, the Thousand Bug Sect’s forces—from Foundation Establishment experts to Qi Condensation disciples—collapsed like a mountain of sand. They threw down their weapons, clutching their heads

Chapter 103: Where’s That Cultivator Who Needed Spirit Plant Seeds? Did You Eat Him? Li Xuanming’s Storage Bag was a disappointment in terms of liquid capital. Only three thousand small Spirit Stones and a handful of medium-grade ones. Clearly, the man had liquidated his assets before the war, dumping his wealth into gear and consumables

Chapter 104: I’m Different from Other Demonic Cultivators—I Put Down the Knife and Become a Buddha Chu Xuan began to attempt pill refining. Previously, he had only refined the Tai Sui Pill. However, the Tai Sui Pill’s grade was not high, being only a Low Grade Foundation Establishment pill. The three pills he was now

Chapter 105: Sorry to Keep You Waiting, Don’t Worry, I’ll Send You on Your Way Soon The rooftop of the Haotai Hotel was a charnel house turned laboratory. Duan Feipeng lay there, a quadruple amputee howling feebly into the smog. No one answered. A lone Yin Corpse stood over him, its movements mechanical and rhythmic.

Chapter 106: I Called You Here This Time to Pass On the Method of Condensing a Golden Core Chu Xuan sat in silent meditation, his breath shallow and controlled. His spiritual root had undergone a fundamental, violent metamorphosis. Normally, such a change demanded a complete abandonment of one’s primary cultivation technique. It would require shattering

Chapter 107: I Understand, Senior Sister, No Need to Say More, It’s Creepy Chu Xuan listened, a cold thrill cutting through him. Full Golden Core, Beast Golden Core, Artifact Golden Core, Blood Golden Core! Even without the ancient era’s suffocating density of Spiritual Qi, cultivators had weaponized their intellect, engineering new pathways to forge a

Chapter 108: I Said It Before, I Don’t Like Fighting and Killing, I Only Like Forming Good Karma “The Burning Heaven Sect from the southern Yue State is expanding its territory northward. They’ve already swallowed up the majority of the oases in the Endless Desert, erecting mortal cities…” “The Hundred Refinements Sect from the northern

Chapter 109: Cangxuan Is Too Dangerous, I Want to Return to Hailan! “In the northern sectors of Yanhan, the Zombie Empress is relentlessly expanding her hunting grounds. However, instead of pushing south, the horde is surging west, colliding directly with the territorial perimeter of the man-eating vines…” “Furthermore, a formidable faction known as Science City

Chapter 110: Setting a Small Goal—Return Only at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment Chu Xuan spoke with absolute calm. “Junior Brother Xu, if you want to go, then go. There is no need to consult me.” “As for me, someone has to manage the sprawling mess of the Extreme Yin Cave. I cannot leave.”

Chapter 111: Even in the Cultivation World, This Manner of Death is Quite Explosive The chaos of the Cangxuan Heaven and Earth faded into irrelevant background noise. Chu Xuan reclined comfortably on a plush velvet chair. The Manual of Virulent Poisons hovered before him, its ancient pages turning automatically without a breeze. Chu Xuan’s right

Chapter 112: I Only Want to Save One Companion, I Only Ask the Immortal to Give Me a Chance What did it look like when a human body detonated from the inside out? Few people had ever lived to see it. Even with the zombie outbreaks, the revival of spiritual energy, and the myriad of

Chapter 113: A Real Man Knows When to Bend and When to Shrink! Youyan Province. Amidst the skeletal remains of a ruined metropolis. A strike team of Science City Espers executed battlefield sweep-and-clear protocols. Heavily augmented tactical infantry formed a perimeter around them. Clad in reinforced tactical plating, their coordination was clinical and absolute. They

Chapter 114: What Kind of Monster Is Inside Here… The First Team operated with lethal military efficiency. At Zhong Shuo’s command, the Awakened Ones and combat servants locked down their kill-zones in record time. Now, they merely waited for their “target” to wander into the crosshairs. Zhong Shuo stood atop a vantage point, taking a

Chapter 115: Come On, Let Me See Your Real… Zhong Shuo stared in muted horror, his tactical processors struggling to compute the slaughter. As a Level 6 Esper, he had never once faced a threat matrix projecting a zero percent survival rate. Level 6 Espers were supposed to be the apex predators of the awakened

Chapter 116: Is This the Origin of Psionic Energy? Science City Tower, the deepest sublevel of the subterranean base. The supreme architect of Science City, the elusive “City Lord” revered by Zhong Shuo, Zhao Xia, and Li Wang. He sat enthroned in the dark, his eyes obsessively tracking the live feeds on his surveillance monitors.

Chapter 117: Ancient Artifact, Primordial Spiritual Energy The fractured artifact rested in his palm—pitch-black, freezing to the touch, and all jagged angles. Had it been whole, it would have formed a flawless cube. Arcane circuitry scarred its surface. Merely tracing the dense, geometric patterns triggered a spike of visceral vertigo. Chu Xuan’s senses easily penetrated

Chapter 118: A Surplus of Souls; At the Bursting Point Chu Xuan suddenly remembered something. As he had descended into the deepest bowels of the underground base, a peculiar acoustic wave had rippled through the air. To a baseline human, it was nothing more than inaudible ultrasound. But to a cultivator at the late stage

Chapter 119: Just a Slave? Consider it Done! The soil teemed with life—bacteria, microorganisms, and burrowing earthworms. Under the saturation of the Soul-Cleansing Golden Rain, it was inevitable that some of these lowly creatures would undergo a forced evolution, awakening spiritual intelligence. If one of these creatures gained sentience and began a slaughter, the resulting

Chapter 120: Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment, A Return to Cangxuan One month later. Chu Xuan emerged from his cultivation state. Because he had received a message from the Queen Bee. Ever since he refined the Blood Bee Hive into his Natal Artifact, the Queen Bee had naturally become his Natal Gu. However, the Queen

Chapter 121: It Is My Honor to Serve You, Senior! The Situ Clan served as one of the vassal Foundation Establishment families under the banner of the Burning Heaven Sect. In this meat-grinder of a world, a Foundation Establishment family simply meant a lineage anchored by at least one cultivator of that realm. The moment

Chapter 122: Hehe, That’s Kind of Embarrassing The Five Viscera Bug was an insidious parasite that swam through a cultivator’s vital organs. During its dormant phase, it did not merely refrain from butchering its host; it actively nourished them, subtly fortifying their flesh and spiritual pathways. However, the instant the parasite’s master triggered it from

Chapter 123: Stepping Out with the Left Foot First, Violating My Taboo, Deserves Death! A moment later, Yan Peng lay resting inside the law enforcement division’s barracks. Situ Cui had pulled a few strings, securing him the room with the densest Spiritual Qi. The two enforcers who escorted him turned and departed together. A brief

Chapter 124: Surrendering Without a Fight Also Violates My Taboo, Deserves Death! At this moment, a deep, oppressive voice accompanied by heavy footsteps echoed from the main hall. “Fellow Daoist… who exactly are you?” “Are you an assassin hired by a rival family?” “Or a Demonic Cultivator seeking wealth and resources?” “If you are an

Chapter 125: Which Demonic Cultivator Would Possess Merit? Absolutely Impossible Rooftop of the Haotai Hotel. Chu Xuan rubbed his hands together, anticipating the harvest, and flipped open the Giant Elephant Body Refining Art. The manual’s title page was plastered with nauseating prose glorifying the Golden Core Patriarch, Situ Jie. Reading between the sycophantic lines, Chu

Chapter 126: Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, Small Auction Time flowed like sand through a bloody hourglass. Chu Xuan sat in silent, death-like meditation within the Soul-Capturing Fiend-Nourishing Grand Array for two and a half years before finally breaching the Foundation Establishment ninth layer. The process had consumed far more time than he initially calculated. As

Chapter 127: If That Demonic Monk Dares to Make a Move, We’ll Ensure He Never Returns! At that moment, the hushed murmurs of the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators drifted into Chu Xuan’s ears. “…Clan Leader Liu, have you heard the whispers regarding the Situ Clan’s eradication?” “I’ve heard. The entire Situ Clan was butchered by

Chapter 128: If There Still Isn’t, Then I’ll Have to Visit a Few More Cultivation Families to Ask for It Soon, the private auction hosted by Huang Wuyang officially commenced. Various Magical Artifacts and cultivation manuals were paraded before the eager crowd. Chu Xuan remained anchored to his seat, silent and as still as an

Chapter 129: Lightning Python Core Condensation Method! Yellow Spring Soul Core Method! Seated cross-legged within the humming core of his Soul Seizing and Evil Absorbing Grand Formation, Chu Xuan meticulously unpacked the Storage Bags stripped from the dead Foundation Establishment cultivators. The haul matched his cynical expectations. While they paraded as Foundation Establishment elites, their

Chapter 130: One Hundred Thousand Living Souls Acquired, Heading to the Battlefield The shockwaves of the escalating war between the cultivation sects bled inevitably into the mortal world. Driven by puppet masters from above, the mortal armies of the Yue State breached the borders of the Yu State, initiating a campaign of merciless slaughter, pillaging,

Chapter 131: Senior, Please Go Ahead, This Junior Will Not Compete With You The geography of the Mist Province was defined by its suffocating, endless mountain ranges and abyssal valleys. Within these jagged, natural barriers, mortal cities were scattered like isolated pearls. Using these population centers as navigational anchors, Chu Xuan calculated the exact coordinates

Chapter 132: I Think It’s Most Appropriate for You to Serve Me The solitary figure descended slowly, his boots touching down in the dead center of the Yinma Plains battlefield. Before him lay the massive, violently excavated crater. Just weeks prior, this exact spot had been the gravitational center for a swarm of scavenging Demonic

Chapter 133: Irritability Is Not a Good Quality; You Are Not Suited to Work for Me The voice cut through the air with jarring suddenness. All three men flinched, their conversation dying in their throats. They whipped their heads toward the source of the sound, only to find empty air. The words hung in the

Chapter 134: Bailian Sect and Burning Heaven Sect Form a Non-Aggression Pact The leviathans lurking within the ocean depths were vastly larger and far more terrifying than any terrestrial beast. Even with Chu Xuan’s current physical density, he could not guarantee his vessel would survive the crushing pressure of tens of thousands of tons of

Chapter 135: Keep Your Voice Down, Why Are You Shouting So Loud? Time slipped away like sand through fingers. On Hailan Planet, another two years bled past. “The Southern Barren Cultivation world is unexpectedly vast…” “The nations of Yan, Yue, and Yu, spanning a million square miles, only account for roughly one-third of the Southern

Chapter 136: Anyway, It’s Not a Big Deal, Eliminated Is Eliminated Deep within the putrid, rusted bowels of the fishing vessel sat a severely malnourished youth. The boy stared through a filthy porthole at the churning wake, the islands of Izumo Country long swallowed by the horizon. A bitter, mocking sneer twisted his gaunt features.

Chapter 137: This Is No Ordinary Competition for Favor, We Must Strike with a Heavy Fist! The youth, now reduced to a drooling husk, was named Fushikawa Tokuyasu. Fushikawa was the surname of the Izumo imperial bloodline. Tokuyasu was his given name. Chu Xuan sifted through the shredded ruins of his memories, ultimately discovering that

Chapter 138: Is It a Ghost That Can Resist Corruption? Of Course Not! Kōgoku Ken didn’t even have the time to flinch. Xiao Hu’s hulking, iron-like physique tore through the air, closing the distance in a blur. A deafening crack rang out. Kōgoku Ken’s head violently detonated like a crushed melon. A grotesque shower of

Chapter 139: Aren’t You My Long-Lost Biological Father! “Roar! Roar! Roar!” The Four-Armed Vajra let out a series of deafening bellows. It abruptly spun around, its four sets of eyes locking onto Kiryuin Hayato. Its four cursed weapons were violently raised into the air. Kiryuin Hayato’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief, his body instinctively stumbling

Chapter 140: Father, You Are the True Genius of the Naming World. I Should Always Learn from You! “Your name is quite novel,” Chu Xuan offered a faint smile. Two-Arms let out a raspy chuckle. “Four-Arms and I chose our own names. Father, don’t you think we have a bit of a gift for it?”

Chapter 141: It’s Clearly My Thing, What’s the Point of You All Fighting Over It? The arrogant, booming voice from outside Black Dragon Mountain’s sect-protecting formation pierced through the barrier without the slightest hindrance. It echoed across the entirety of Black Dragon Mountain. Black Dragon Mountain still housed a small number of Qi Condensation disciples.

Chapter 142: Such Immense Force, Such a Fierce Fist Zhang Wei’s eyes widened, bulging with absolute terror. The two of them were formidable figures—one at the fourth layer of the Golden Core realm, the other at the third. Yet, their full-force spells had just been effortlessly pulverized by the opponent’s bare flesh. Worse still, Shangguan

Chapter 143: Elder Tong, a Pleasure. I am He Liang. Black Dragon Mountain, a short while later. Suddenly, a refined, scholarly chuckle echoed from just beyond the mountain’s protective array. “This old man is Tong Yijian, here specifically to pay a visit to the Fellow Daoists of Black Dragon Mountain!” Song Junjie and Qian Tang

Chapter 144: Are These the Words of a Merit Cultivator? Five days later. Four Golden Core cultivators from the Bailian Sect led a massive horde of cultivators, sweeping south under the cover of night. Wherever their shadows fell, the cultivators of the Hundred Sects Alliance shattered and surrendered without a fight. However, dropping to their

Chapter 145: Fellow Daoist He, Zichu Was Overstepping A few days later. Two figures arrived shoulder-to-shoulder. One was the gray-templed Jian Yitong. The other was a haughty youth, his body radiating the oppressive spiritual pressure of a Golden Core cultivator. “Fellow Daoist He! It is Jian Yitong. Might I request an audience?” His voice rolled

Chapter 146: Fellow Daoist He, Feel Free to Visit My Thousand Hammer Peak for a Chat It wasn’t just Jian Yitong who was shocked. Even Chu Xuan found himself mildly surprised. From their brief exchange, he could tell this young man held significant status. He was merely at the first layer of the Golden Core

Chapter 147: Find Them, Dead or Alive, and Bring Them to the Ascension Celestial Palace! Chu Xuan’s brow twitched. The Hidden Mountain Gathering? Had that old dog Jian Yitong inexplicably dragged him into some clandestine faction? He shifted his cold gaze toward Jian Yitong. To his mild surprise, the old man had stopped trading flirtatious

Chapter 148: Everyone Hates the Rat, Everyone Wants to Be the Rat After listening to White Water’s words, the cultivators present began silently calculating their own greedy schemes. Compared to the imminent meat-grinder of a war between the Bailian Sect and the Burning Heaven Sect. The planet-wide bounty from the Ascension Celestial Palace was what

Chapter 149: I Mainly Want to See the Black Dragon Mountain Disciples Show Their Prowess and Build Our Reputation Upon arriving at the Soul-Capturing Fiend-Nourishing Grand Array, Chu Xuan casually tossed Little Tiger inside. After a moment’s thought, he extracted several dozen pounds of Blood Honey from the Blood Bee Hive and placed it beside

Chapter 150: Unknowingly, Black Dragon Mountain Has Dragged the Entire Bailian Sect Into a Ruthless Rat Race? “That’s the master of Black Dragon Mountain, the Black-Hearted Ancestor? Seeing him in the flesh is truly more terrifying than the rumors!” “I heard the cultivators of Black Dragon Mountain are forced to cultivate like mad dogs every

Chapter 151: Shang Xingchen, You Better Not Disappoint Me The Burning Heaven Sect and the Bailian Sect temporarily halted their war, dispatching swarms of cultivators to cast a wide net. They had one unified objective: locate Shang Tianjue and Shang Xingchen. However, the Palace of Ghost Governance—a branch of the Yellow Spring Dao Sect—sat squarely

Chapter 152: I Know Where a Group of Yellow Spring Dao Sect Remnants Are Three Peaks Mountain. This mountain range sat within the former territory of the Miaoyin Palace. Compared to other regions, the Spiritual Qi here was barren. At the foot of the mountain lived only a few mortal hunters scratching out a meager

Chapter 153: Shentu Old Dog, I’ve Been Coveting Your Nascent Soul for a Long Time The dark, weathered villager stumbled, his balance failing him. However, Little Doctor Jiang’s hands darted out, catching the man before he hit the dirt. Overwhelmed with gratitude, the villager opened his mouth to speak. Instead of words, a thumb-sized, blood-red

Chapter 154: Master’s Grace, This Old Servant Will Never Forget! Shentu Jin’s soul nearly shattered from sheer terror. Without a fraction of hesitation, his Nascent Soul violently ejected from his body, abandoning his physical shell to flee into the horizon. A Nascent Soul possessed numerous miraculous applications. The most critical among them: burning Nascent Soul

Chapter 155: Yuan Zichu, Oh Yuan Zichu… I Hope You Survive Chu Xuan possessed a vast inventory of treasures. His stockpile of resources required for Foundation Establishment was practically inexhaustible. He didn’t mind bestowing some items he no longer needed upon the old servant. Given the old man’s temperament, if he managed to break through

Chapter 156: Weren’t You Averse to Conflict? Why the Sudden Interest in the Myriad Islands Lake? Hailan Planet. Chu Xuan remained seated, lost in cultivation. One year, two years, three years… Time slipped by unnoticed. Chu Xuan never cared for the passage of time. Ten years here was but a single year back on Cangxuan

Chapter 157: Hah, Men! Their Faces Change So Fast! The Sky-Soaring Mirror that Yuan Zichu had so eagerly offered was a Middle Grade flight Dharma Treasure. Its speed easily eclipsed that of the Green Shadow Shuttle, the Top Grade flight Magical Artifact Chu Xuan previously favored. It could traverse ten thousand miles in a single

Chapter 158: I Fought Him Back Then; Our Strength… Was on Par Zhu Yuqiao swallowed hard. The cold, calculating look in the man’s eyes told her everything she needed to know. This was not someone you befriended; this was someone you survived. Now that she knew his identity, she only wanted to put as much

Chapter 159: Impersonating My Name and Stealing Kills! This Person Has Chosen Death! Chu Xuan gazed at the highest peak of Qingxuan Island and casually remarked, “Hmm, this peak resembles Black Dragon Mountain. I’ll have to terraform it to match in the future.” Black Dragon Mountain?! Tang Xiang’s expression, previously filled with utmost reverence, instantly

Chapter 160: Demonic Path Meets Demonic Path, A Stab in the Back Liefeng Island. Three figures arrived one after another. Their Sects and families had already been wiped off the map. Now, they gathered on this desolate, Spiritual Qi-barren Liefeng Island to discuss survival. The bearded male cultivator was named Yao Hui. He broke the

Chapter 161: Still Not Coming Out? Forcing Me to Act? Xuanbing Island, Dianbing Sect. Compared to heavyweight factions in the Ten Thousand Islands Lake like the Longyu Sect and the Qizhen Alliance—which boasted three or more Golden Core cultivators—the Dianbing Sect was merely a minor sect clinging to a False Core cultivator. The so-called False

Chapter 162: Master, You Almost Killed Me, You Unfilial Disciple! A Yin Thunder Seed harnessed both the corrosive malice of Yin Sha and the raw destructive might of lightning. Three hundred Yin Thunder Seeds screamed through the air simultaneously. It was enough explosive payload to flash-boil an entire lake into vapor! Instantly, a massive pillar

Chapter 163: Let’s Go to Your Place, I’m Afraid My Dao Companion Will Find Out Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. Clearance to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield? That sounded like a highly lucrative venture. “Senior Brother, do elaborate on how one might acquire this clearance,” Chu Xuan prompted, his interest thoroughly piqued. “The Outer Realm

Chapter 164: Those Who Cannot Withstand Probing Are Unworthy as Partners Above the shattered ruins of a fallen Sect. Chu Xuan clashed with the imposter. A brutal battle erupted the instant their eyes met. They fought from the first light of dawn until the sun bled into the horizon. Their destructive wake stretched from the

Chapter 165: The Feather Transformation Heavenly Palace’s Greatest Worry Is Not Outside Within the opulent and magnificent council hall. An elder with the transcendent demeanor of a true immortal stood atop the dais. Below him knelt five middle-aged men. A furious reprimand thundered from the elder’s lips. Four of the middle-aged men kept their heads

Chapter 166: These Five Damned Fellows, Half a Year and They Still Haven’t Brought the Person Back! Outside the mountain gate Formation of the Bailian Sect. Four middle-aged men conversed in hushed, calculating tones. The Fourth Disciple under Master Yuling spoke with a heavy frown. “Shang Tianjue seems to be stalling. What is he scheming?

Chapter 167: So Itchy, Feels Like I’m Growing a Brain. Meanwhile. The terrified Chen Xing slowly straightened his posture. Departing from Golden Dragon Peak, he made his way south. High above in the firmament, a pair of ancient eyes observed his every move. A virtually imperceptible streak of spiritual light pierced the void, ultimately sinking

Chapter 168: As Expected of an Ascension Heavenly Palace Nascent Soul, Truly Delicious The other three never suspected that their seemingly matched battle with Shang Tianjue was nothing but a calculated farce. In the blink of an eye, Shang Tianjue seized upon a momentary lapse in their focus and assassinated their fourth martial brother! Despite

Chapter 169: Actually, I Also Cultivate Merit, Just a Bit More Than Him “Still nothing…” Chu Xuan deposited the headless corpse into his Corpse Nurturing Tower. The Storage Bag had also fallen into his hands. Yet, after a ruthless search, he found zero tokens within this Yuhua Palace disciple’s belongings. He had already slaughtered three

Chapter 170: Master Yuling Knowingly Transgresses; Execution is Mandatory! Cultivate merit? Why didn’t you just go and save all living beings under heaven? Chu Xuan knew perfectly well that Wan Wuying wouldn’t believe a word of it. He had merely thrown the excuse out to deflect suspicion. In truth, the karmic backlash from executing Han

Chapter 171: So This Is Your Reason for Poisoning? Seeing Wan Wuying concede, a satisfied smile spread across Chu Xuan’s face. He could have pressed his advantage and demanded an eighty-twenty split. But that would have been pushing his luck. A seventy-thirty split was the optimal profit margin. There was no need to drive Wan

Chapter 172: If Yuqiao and I Have a Child in the Future, We Shall Name Him Wu Zichu! Zhao Wuya and Huang Yuanwu stared at Chu Xuan, their eyes heavy with disbelief. Back before the Tianyin Sect collapsed, they had sensed the shifting winds and used a Sect commission as an excuse to evacuate, dodging

Chapter 173: The Haoran Sword Sect Annihilated My Entire Family! This Hatred Is Unforgivable! Black Dragon Mountain. The moon hung at its zenith. The area was dead and silent. Yuhua Palace’s previous purge had nearly exterminated every Bailian Sect disciple occupying the mountain. Yet, at this very moment. Two figures slinked through the shadows, arriving

Chapter 174: Such a Matter of Saving the Multitudes of Soul Star, We Have an Unshirkable Duty! The Outer Realm Battlefield. Lei Family City. Golden Core great cultivators, absolute overlords in the outside world, were a dime a dozen here. After all, the Samsara Divine Sect had corralled the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators

Chapter 175: Block My Path, and You Chose Death Long Ago! “But the threat level of Soul Star remains an unknown variable. I have no intention of deploying my entire soul into a blind zone…” “Perhaps I could sever a fragment of my Divine Sense and inject it into Soul Star?” “This way, I can

Chapter 176: So Much Merit, Master, Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier! Chu Xuan exhaled a slow breath and immediately adjusted his trajectory east. The topography of the Outer Realm Battlefield was violently unstable. With every cycle of its opening, towering peaks collapsed into abyssal valleys, and jagged ravines violently inverted into flat plains. Vast

Chapter 177: What Hui Kong? Am I Called Hui Kong? I Don’t Know! Righteous Path City was incredibly rudimentary, boasting only two main thoroughfares: the North-South Avenue and the East-West Avenue. As for the spaces between, they were nothing more than a chaotic web of dirt paths formed by foot traffic. Vast stretches of land

Chapter 178: I am a Dignified Buddhist High Monk, What’s Wrong With Me Using a String of Purple Jade Prayer Beads? Chu Xuan smiled faintly, and with a mere thought, his spatial coordinates shifted. He materialized back on Hailan Planet. The wasteland of Hailan Planet was an absolute goldmine of Zombies. All he had to

Chapter 179: So This is Fellow Daoist Hui Kong? Truly One with Great Merit and Great Providence No one knew how much effort Shangguan Hao had poured into this female disciple. The best spiritual materials! The finest Dharma Treasures! The ultimate cultivation techniques! He had shoved every premium resource he could acquire straight into Ning

Chapter 180: As the Saying Goes, Free Things Are the Most Expensive Inside a side hall of the Duan Family estate. Several rows of ornate bookshelves stood in quiet rows. Resting upon them were various cultivation manuals. Because this was merely a guest reception area rather than the family’s true heritage vault, the selection was

Chapter 181: It’s Been So Long Since I’ve Eaten Such a Delicious Soul! One Bite and It Bursts with Juices! Hailan Planet. Chu Xuan withdrew the Spirit Energy Cube and extended his Divine Sense within. As expected. Ma Nanshan had not made an appearance for quite some time. After offering a brief moment of silence

Chapter 182: These Two Ghosts Don’t Seem to Be Here to Fight, They’re More Like… Here for a Meal? Chu Xuan extended his hand, and the components for a Formation landed in his palm. This array was known as the Yellow Spring Soul Refining Array. It was the most notorious Formation of the Yellow Spring

Chapter 183: This Trip to the Soul Star Was Truly Not in Vain! Yun Qi and the middle-aged man looked toward the sky. They discovered an exceptionally massive Soul Body suspended in mid-air, looking down upon them from a commanding height. Both of them widened their eyes in profound shock. Such an enormous Soul Body!

Chapter 184: Old Bro, I Never Expected You Were Also from the Pegasus Star! Beneath the Soul Star. Further down the complex, interwoven passages lay cities buried deep underground. These cities were subterranean Bases constructed by the Soul Star nobility over a millennium ago. Even the nobles themselves did not know exactly how many such

Chapter 185: Almost There, Time to Feast Heartily “This Soul-Devouring Spiral is truly a treasure!” Chu Xuan condensed his Divine Sense into a continuously rotating spiral, offering lavish praise. To his sheer astonishment, the lethal potency of the “Soul-Devouring Spiral” vastly outstripped the “Spirit-Piercing Needle,” his previous Divine Sense secret technique. Furthermore, the “Soul-Devouring Spiral”

Chapter 186: A Rod, a Pack of Cigarettes, Sitting by the River All Day Chu Xuan let out a long sigh. A dignified Ghost King, an entity comparable to a great cultivator of the Nascent Soul realm! And all it knew how to do was bark like a dog! Simply outrageous! “From now on, you

Chapter 187: Must Not Disappoint the Good Intentions of These Three Couriers “Hmm? It has indeed become much livelier.” Chu Xuan stepped out of his cave dwelling and walked along the main east-west thoroughfare of Righteous Path City. He immediately noticed a visible surge in the number of cultivators roaming the streets. They were likely

Chapter 188: Don’t Smash Them So Messily Next Time, How Are Brother Tiger and the Others Supposed to Eat Them? The three of them swarmed forward. Their ghosts, Yin Corpses, and Gu insects also pounced fiercely toward Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan casually raised a hand and beckoned. The Sky-Covering Umbrella abruptly materialized. A ferocious Ghost

Chapter 189: No Selfish Motives, No Desire for Treasures, This is an Eminent Buddhist Monk! Time slipped by swiftly. In the blink of an eye, another year passed within the Outer Realm Battlefield. As usual, Chu Xuan traveled back and forth between Hailan Planet and the Soul Star. On Hailan Planet, he primarily focused on

Chapter 190: If I Bring Out Better Goods, How Would You Respond? Crack! An immense, explosive force erupted. In an instant, that massive, black-furred hand was violently twisted and snapped! “Ah!” A shrill scream abruptly tore through the air. The surrounding cultivators snapped their gazes toward the commotion. Only then did they realize the terrifying

Chapter 191: A Cup of Tea, a Book, Reading for a Whole Day Three Corpse Commanders! Their strength was in no way inferior to late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Coupled with the stall owner himself, who also exuded the aura of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. This was an enemy who absolutely could not be provoked!

Chapter 192: I Have Been Adopted as a Godson by the Patriarch, From Now On My Name is Duan Fengxian! Duan Que’s expression shifted rapidly. He had long known that Tianyin Zen Temple harbored a deep disdain for heterodox Buddhist lineages. Yet, he never expected their intolerance to reach such extremes. To draw blades the

Chapter 193: A Dignified Ghost King Overeating, How Unseemly! Chu Xuan and Duan Que continued to stroll leisurely through the city. With so many cultivators flocking to the Soul Formation cave dwelling, Righteous Path City now appeared rather desolate. Most of those walking the streets were merely in the early Golden Core realm. Even mid-Golden

Chapter 194: Good Brothers Must Stuff Themselves Together! At this moment, a maidservant approached the Queen and reported respectfully, “Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. We may evacuate.” The Queen nodded. “Then let us depart.” Soon after, the Queen, her personal guards, and three squads of the Arrival Faction secretly evacuated, making their way toward

Chapter 195: If Absolutely Necessary, This Poor Monk Shall Also Break the Precept Against Killing Several months later. Chu Xuan looked at the two Ghost Kings beside him, a gratified smile touching his lips. Other ghost-raisers suffered daily headaches fretting over where to find souls to feed their charges. But when he raised ghosts, the

Chapter 196: Both of You, You Forced My Hand Chu Xuan suddenly broke into laughter. It greatly surprised the two monks from Tianyin Zen Temple. Yuan Zhi sneered coldly, “At death’s door, yet you still laugh. What is so amusing?” Yuan Yi let out a bizarre cackle. “He must know his doom is sealed. Let

Chapter 197: Indeed, the Two Benefactors Carry Items Predestined with My Buddha Yun Zhongyu did not hesitate, darting forward like a phantom. With a sweeping gesture, a vast swath of water vapor condensed into a colossal water dragon, roaring fiercely toward the Lei Family Ancestor! The Lei Family Ancestor had long anticipated that someone would

Chapter 198: My Merit is Vast, Killing Me Will Cause You to Suffer Karmic Retribution! A moment later. Bai Changyuan’s eyes bulged grotesquely like a goldfish as he died, blood bleeding from his seven orifices. Qin Huan’s chest was pierced clean through by Miao Xin’s fist, fresh blood gushing out like a fountain. Qin Huan

Chapter 199: Eh? Why Did the People from the Tianyin Zen Temple Suddenly Disappear? The deaths of Miao Xin, Yuan Ming, and the others did not stir even a ripple in this endless, pitch-black night. After all, in this absolute darkness, no one could see anyone else. Who could possibly know that a dignified Nascent

Chapter 200: I Just Picked a Good Place for You to Depart The very moment Yun Zhongyu spotted Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan also locked eyes with him. “Die!” Without wasting a single breath, Yun Zhongyu instantly channeled his spell. A massive hand condensed from aqueous vapor fiercely grabbed forward. To his Divine Sense, the opponent

Chapter 201: Damn It All! I’ve Actually Been Forced to This Point! Enduring the splitting agony in his skull, Yun Zhongyu spat out a large mouthful of Nascent Soul essence. A giant hand formed of Divine Sense swelled with the wind, shielding him. Bang! Bang! Bang! Four-Arms’ ghost artifacts were all deflected by the Divine

Chapter 202: Mother, Did You See That… I’ve Never Seen a Three-Layered Merit Golden Wheel in My Life “Two-Arms, Four-Arms, step back.” Chu Xuan stated mildly. Two-Arms exclaimed in shock, “Father…” Four-Arms tilted his head in confusion, “Woof?” Chu Xuan waved a hand. “Step back.” Only then did Two-Arms and Four-Arms retreat. Chu Xuan’s front

Chapter 203: A Glimpse, But Only a Little Glimpse Neither piece of Acquired Spirit Jade revealed any discernible attributes. Nor did their surfaces bear any markings. To uncover exactly what kind of Acquired Spirit Body slumbered within, one had to personally extract them. Chu Xuan could not be bothered to overthink the matter, directly picking

Chapter 204: The One Who Killed Yun Zhongyu Was Hui Kong, a Golden Core Monk from the Jinlong Temple of Cangxuan Star Righteous Path City. The sky had brightened. Yuan Zichu walked along the North-South Avenue. He could tell at a single glance that the number of cultivators returning to Righteous Path City had plummeted

Chapter 205: How Could a Great Demon Like Chu Xuan Possibly Possess a Three-Layered Merit Golden Wheel Clatter! In that instant, teacups shattered across the floor. Even long after Wei Ji had departed the teahouse. The throng of cultivators remained submerged in absolute shock. Yun Zhongyu… was truly slain by a mere Golden Core cultivator?

Chapter 206: Thousand-Year Turtle Art, Ten-Thousand-Year Tortoise Art “Why is it that the Blood Fiend Yin Fire simply refuses to be born from within this Blood Refining Corpse Fire?” Chu Xuan propped his cheek on his hand, staring at the blazing Blood Refining Corpse Fire as he shook his head repeatedly. He had been sitting

Chapter 207: A Minor Issue Encountered During Cultivation With a flicker of movement, Chu Xuan appeared before the two men. Seeing Chu Xuan’s face clearly and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from his entire body, Liu Mengde felt as if he were staring into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, his mind

Chapter 208: Huh? Why Is There More Food Delivered to My Doorstep? “I wonder if they have developed any Qi Regulation techniques.” Chu Xuan shook his head. He had distributed the various research topics long ago. A select group of exceptionally gifted individuals had been exclusively researching Qi Regulation techniques. Qi Regulation techniques were inherently

Chapter 209: Being Cautious in All Matters and Vigilant at All Times is the Foundation of Securing One’s Life and Livelihood Two-Arms stared at the massive group of Soul Star natives and Soul Tribe members, looking somewhat bewildered. It had been a long time since anyone had delivered themselves to their doorstep. Why did a

Chapter 210: No Need to Think! It Must Have Been Those Slaughter Faction Lunatics! One month later. Two Wraith Kings of the Rearing Faction’s Soul Tribe stood atop the ruins of Yellow Stone City, their expressions unsightly. The tall Wraith King was named Soul Fury, and the short one was named Soul Scar. They were

Chapter 211: Do You Really Think I’m So Stupid That I Don’t Even Know Captain Yun is from the Golden Horse Empire’s Imperial Family? Five years later. On the surface of Soul Star. Near Rushing Stream City. Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan, forming a two-man squad, were scouring the pitch-black, desolate wasteland in search of

Chapter 212: Always Look on the Bright Side, What If He’s a Wraith King from the Rearing Faction? Long Yuan clutched his chest, his eyes wide as he gave a cold snort. “It seems you knew all along.” “The Queen intended to use human souls as fuel, and you refused.” “You defied the Queen’s edict.

Chapter 213: Breathing Technique, Primordial Chaos Limitless Art In the blink of an eye, Yun Qi’s visage shifted into the face of Long Yuan. Ma Nanshan, meanwhile, assumed the appearance of He Qing. With Chu Xuan’s abilities, altering a person’s physical form was mere child’s play. Ma Nanshan was on the verge of tears. “Why

Chapter 214: Where Did That Huge Lei Family City Go? The Outer Realm Battlefield. Not a trace of human presence could be found across the desolate plains. Ruins and the colossal carcasses of ancient beasts littered the landscape. The atmosphere was exceptionally eerie. At this moment, a lone figure abruptly appeared. He surveyed his surroundings

Chapter 215: If You Capsize in a Ditch, Who Can You Reason With? Staring at this seed for just a few moments actually gave Chu Xuan a wave of dizziness. He immediately realized that this object was absolutely not something to be handled lightly. For the sake of caution, he sealed it away once more.

Chapter 216: These Days, Catching an Adulterer Requires the Upper Sect to Do It? Chu Xuan stood among the crowd. Seeing the notice posted in Heavenly Sword City, his eyebrows couldn’t help but rise. He had previously slain the Samsara Divine Sect’s genius Yun Zhongyu, yet the bounty for that deed was considerably lower than

Chapter 217: Shangguan Hao Will Serve the Divine Sect, Spilling His Brains and Blood! Boom! Boom! Boom! The clash between the four Nascent Soul cultivators was nothing short of earth-shattering. Even the residual shockwaves were enough to sunder the earth and reshape the terrain. The sheer magnitude of their battle was impossible to conceal, quickly

Chapter 218: Fellow Daoist, Don’t Be Hasty! Everything Can Be Discussed! Shangguan Hao flew toward Sky Sword City, a joyous smile painted across his face. This maneuver had truly accomplished three goals with a single stroke. First, he had secured a connection with the Heaven-Shaking Divine Sect; obtaining a bottle of Soul Nurturing Fluid in

Chapter 219: I’m Gonna Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat! The ancestor of the Samsara Divine Sect had obtained a seed from parts unknown, seeking within it a method to break through to a higher realm. Now, the seed had inadvertently been lost. Since the Heaven-Shaking Divine Sect learned of this matter, they could not

Chapter 220: Top Grade Nascent Soul Condensation Method, Where Can It Be Found? After securing the Gluttonous Tree Seed, Chu Xuan returned to his main base. He had already acquired the necessary Nascent Soul spiritual items; all he lacked now was a Nascent Soul Condensation Method. “A Nascent Soul Condensation Method is actually far easier

Chapter 221: I Gave You the Chance, But You Failed to Grasp It! Shangguan Hao’s lineage had grown tyrannical, attempting to transform Sky Sword City into the Shangguan family’s private domain. Such arrogant behavior had undoubtedly bred resentment among many Nascent Soul cultivators. Shangguan Hao’s bizarre disappearance was not necessarily a detriment to the Righteous

Chapter 222: I, He Ze, Am Truly Fortunate to Serve You! Heavenly Sword City, Danbao Pavilion. Early morning. Just like any other day, Chu Xuan arrived early at the storefront he had leased. After brewing himself a pot of Fragrant Snow White tea, he reclined upon his rattan chair and flipped through ancient tomes on

Chapter 223: This Method is Heinous, Harmful to Others and Oneself, Utterly Useless! “Huh, that woman is so beautiful. Who is she?” He Ze peered through the one-way glass, watching as several figures abruptly entered the auction hall, all flanking a single person. Chu Xuan followed his gaze and immediately raised an eyebrow. Among the

Chapter 224: If the Primary and Secondary Are Reversed, Wasting Time in Vain, How Can One Achieve Longevity? He Ze suddenly understood. “I see! Those cultivators deliberately claimed this method violates the Heavenly Dao, harms both self and others, and called it utterly useless. In truth, they simply wanted to buy it for themselves!” Chu

Chapter 225: I, Chu Xuan, Possess Immense Merit, Why Does the Heavenly Tribulation Press So Aggressively? Hailan Planet. Atop a vast, boundless expanse of ice. Lay a massive pool of blood. The crimson liquid within had long since frozen solid. A solitary figure sat motionless upon the blood pool’s icy surface. It was Chu Xuan.

Chapter 226: Fast as Lightning, Boundless in Strength—Let it be Called the Great Annihilation Thunder Fist Chu Xuan reclined in a soft velvet chair, turning his gaze inward to examine his own body. Above the boundless spiritual sea, a tiny Nascent Soul sat quietly in meditation. Strands of spiritual power, fine as silk, continuously coiled

Chapter 227: I Wonder If Fellow Daoist He Would Be Willing to Have a Proper Drink with Me, Ximen Changqing? Chu Xuan scrutinized the Blood Steel Wire, deep in thought. The Blood Steel Wire’s upper limit was not high. Even though he had refined it into a lifebound Gu insect, he was merely dragging its

Chapter 228: In This Life, Being Able to Cling Tightly to an Incredibly Thick Thigh is an Extremely Fortunate Thing Everyone followed the sound and turned to look. They saw a middle-aged cultivator with a scholarly disposition striding forward. This cultivator was exceptionally handsome and elegant, his aura profound and steady. The faint silver hair

Chapter 229: The Meager Monthly Stipend the Sect Provides Isn’t Enough for Me to Hold a Grudge Against Fellow Daoist He Over This Ximen Changqing looked at Chu Xuan. “However, Fellow Daoist He, you seem to hail from Cangxuan Star?” “The Fifth-Tier Sect on Cangxuan Star is the Ascension Celestial Palace… Our superior sect has

Chapter 230: One Heaven’s Longevity Pill, Countless Lives of Blood “Shangguan Hao cannot possibly still be alive… It stands to reason he was slain by another, and the essence blood jade pendant was taken.” The man in black shook his head repeatedly. As a cultivator of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Sect, venturing into this Outer Realm

Chapter 231: He Liang, No Matter Who You Are, I Hope You Can Discern the Hidden Meaning in My Words Heavenly Sword City. Danbao Pavilion had only just opened its doors. He Ze arrived early at the shop Chu Xuan had leased. However, this time, he did not see Chu Xuan’s figure. “Strange. Senior He

Chapter 232: Chase! Do Not Let He Liang Escape! Another ten days passed. Heavenly Sword City, the City Lord’s Estate. Ximen Changqing paced back and forth, his brow furrowed in deep thought. Over the past few days, an alarming number of spatial rifts had torn open once more. Some had even manifested precariously close to

Chapter 233: I Have Never Liked Conflict, Why Must You Force Me? Hearing this, Chu Xuan could not help but sneer inwardly. Cherishing talent? Taking a disciple? A great opportunity? You guys have seriously wicked intentions! Master Tiancang, that cannibalistic monster who devoured people whole, was absolutely not “cherishing talent.” If I was actually dumb

Chapter 234: This Person is Actually a Body Refiner! Chu Xuan watched the figure frantically unleashing spells; he held his breath, focused his mind, and steadily closed the distance. He knew exactly what methods he currently possessed to contend against a Nascent Soul cultivator. His repertoire of spiritual energy spells was merely at the Golden

Chapter 235: You Can’t Kill Me! Caught completely off guard. Leng Hanshuang had no choice but to retract her Cold Sky Whip. Her natal Dharma Treasure instantly coiled up like a massive python, shielding her front. Boom! Chu Xuan’s Great Annihilation Thunder Fist had already descended. Leng Hanshuang felt an indescribably immense force crash into

Chapter 236: I Don’t Like Q&A; I Prefer to See for Myself, It’s More Efficient Chu Xuan burst out of the cavern and immediately rushed toward the nearest teleportation array. He had already investigated this thoroughly. This particular array was precisely the one leading to the Cangxuan Star. Thus, Chu Xuan simply shed all his

Chapter 237: Does This Count as an Ice and Fire Dual Heaven? High upon a mountain peak. Inside a deep cavern. The original occupants of this cave were a nest of late-stage Golden Core giant pythons. Because Little Tiger was injured and urgently needed nourishment… Chu Xuan felt they deserved a place in the ancestral

Chapter 238: Three Hundred Years of Lifespan! Three Queries to the Heavens! Samsara Star. Among the dozen or so cultivation stars under the dominion of the Samsara Divine Sect, this was the most massive and possessed the most abundant Spiritual Qi. It was under the direct administration of the Sect’s highest authority. At this moment,

Chapter 239: I Need to Search Your Soul First, Please Cooperate Chu Xuan examined the gradually shrinking Life-Death Profound Ice, a look of deep satisfaction gracing his features. Small wonder his previous attempts to melt the Life-Death Profound Ice had all ended in failure. This esoteric ice actually required a flame capable of incinerating souls

Chapter 240: Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Method, Profound Heaven Ice Soul Divine Scroll! Over the following period. Assuming the alias of Lin Fan, Chu Xuan entered the Treasure Pavilion and exchanged his merits for quite a few materials. All were items required for the Ten-Step Foundation Stealing Great Art. However, he did not acquire everything

Chapter 241: How Many Times Have I Told You Not to Speak Outside? If You Aren’t Embarrassed, I Am! Chu Xuan gazed upon the Yellow Spring Soul Refining Array and gave a slight nod. He had not visited the Yellow Spring Soul Refining Array in quite some time. During this period, he had only stopped

Chapter 242: It Must Have Been Done by Those Lunatics From the Slaughter Faction’s Fire-Burning Gang! A moment later, Chu Xuan stood at the highest point of Moon City, overlooking this large Rearing Faction stronghold. He did not need to lift a finger. The Ghost Kings, Ghost Commanders, and Ghost Generals under his command would

Chapter 243: What’s the Use of Merit? Doesn’t It Still Rely on My Artifact Refining Talent? When a Ghost King of Four-Arms’ caliber, wielding four Life-Bound Ghost Artifacts, unleashed his might, a mere major city of the Slaughter Faction was naturally swept away like dust. Chu Xuan had imparted an aura-concealing Soul Technique to Four-Arms.

Chapter 244: Another Three Hundred Years of Lifespan Gone! I Shall Never Perform Divination Again! Chu Xuan once again stood before Leng Hanshuang. Gazing at the breathtaking yet entirely vacant-eyed Saint Child of the Samsara Divine Sect, he shook his head slightly. It was not out of pity for a peerless beauty meeting an untimely

Chapter 245: I’m Afraid I Won’t Have Another Chance to See Senior He in the Future The process of infusing lifespan lasted for about an hour. It wasn’t until the aerial root retracted that Chu Xuan finally let out a long, thoroughly satisfying sigh. The sensation of gaining lifespan out of thin air was simply

Chapter 246: Couldn’t You Have Advanced at Any Other Time? Why Now? “This cultivation speed…” Chu Xuan refined the Ice Soul Crystal before him, sensing the growth of his Nascent Soul, and could not help but marvel in admiration. He had now absorbed the Acquired Spirit Jade and possessed the Ice Soul Spirit Body. Thus,

Chapter 247: We Can’t Let Those Righteous Path Bratlings Come and Go as They Please The mountaintop platform of Tianxie Peak. “Hahahaha! Thank you all for gracing my Tianxie Peak!” Bai Jinkun raised his wine cup, his expression brimming with excitement. Chu Xuan, Wan Wuying, and two other Golden Core cultivators seated among the guests

Chapter 248: Qi Condensation Demonic Cultivators Are Still Demonic Cultivators, Everyone Has the Right to Slay Them! Yin Soul Mountain Range. Piercing gusts of yin wind swept through every corner of this mountain range. The ancient trees resembled twisted, ferocious arms clawing out from the depths of the earth. As the spectral gales blew past,

Chapter 249: The Enemy Not Only Doesn’t Flee, But Dares to Counterattack? Chu Xuan nodded slightly. “I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother Bai to look after these few subordinates of mine.” Bai Jinkun smiled. “But of course. My men have already moved out. It’s only a matter of time before those four little brats from

Chapter 250: Rest Assured, I Have Always Believed in Making the Most of People Bai Jinkun offered a sudden smile. “Junior Brother, among those little brats from the Jinhong Sect, there are two rather fine female cultivators. Would you like your Senior Brother to bestow one upon you to serve as a cauldron?” A knowing,

Chapter 251: I Want to Cultivate, Do Not Disturb Me Unless Necessary A secretive smile curled the corners of Bai Jinkun’s lips. “Yes, Master!” He was just about to turn and leave. However, a voice drifted in from beyond the doors. “Master! Your disciple, Lin Fan, requests an audience!” Bai Jinkun was momentarily stunned, and

Chapter 252: What Else Could Possibly Force Their Hand? “With this, the Wanhun Sect rests securely within my grasp.” Returning to Black Fiend Peak, Chu Xuan smiled faintly. Originally, he had only intended to quietly recuperate and build up his strength within the Wanhun Sect. Had the Wanhun Old Man and the others not pushed

Chapter 253: You Call This “Casually Sparing Some Manpower”?! A few days later. Save for a single squad left behind to guard the underground city, the Arrival Faction mobilized the entirety of its remaining forces. They had but a single objective: the nearest Slaughter Faction settlement, “Gray Leaf City.” This was a medium-sized city belonging

Chapter 254: The Queen Is Gravely Ill, She Spouts Utter Nonsense Now! Chu Xuan was highly satisfied with the performance of Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan. These two possessed formidable Soul Power, and more importantly, they had brains. They were indeed worth nurturing. He could not reside permanently upon the Soul Star in the future;

Chapter 255: To Think This Bizarre Land Could Affect Even a Great Wraith King. How Uncanny! Upon the Soul Star, ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Xuan received the battle reports transmitted by Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan, a smile playing upon his lips. Over the course of these ten years,

Chapter 256: To Think It Is the Gluttony Great King! I Was Unaware of Your Presence, My Apologies “You are quite capable. To actually withstand the array’s erosion for so long… my father is very satisfied with you.” A cheeky chuckle suddenly rang out. Hun Tan turned his head and saw a snake-man ghost gripping

Chapter 257: You Should Feel Honored; You Shall Become the Stepping Stone on My Path of Evolution! A moment later, Chu Xuan fell deep into thought. He had already unraveled the entire sequence of events. Not long ago, Hun Shang had secured an audience with the Gluttony Great King. The Gluttony Great King, Hun Tan,

Chapter 258: Sorry, It Has Already Been Devoured Hun Tan looked down upon Chu Xuan from high above, then suddenly clawed out with a vicious grasp! A torrential devouring force surged from his palm. Chu Xuan let out a cold sneer and took a step back. A massive black silhouette abruptly burst forth from behind

Chapter 259: Whoever It Is, Just Send Someone, Anyone! After a long while, Chu Xuan groggily awakened. He touched the space between his brows; there was not a single mark to be found. “Where is the Blood Mirror?” Chu Xuan was utterly astonished. He scrutinized his inner self. To his surprise, the Blood Mirror had

Chapter 260: I Thought It Was Something Major, But It’s Just Such a Trivial Matter? Black Fiend Peak’s main hall. Zhong Yan sat upon a sandalwood chair, taking light sips of spirit tea. Her willow-leaf eyebrows were deeply furrowed, clearly troubled by some matter. Bai Jinkun, however, dared not sit, nor did he dare drink
