Shi’er, Meng Shushu, Zhou Ying and Yu Xiaolong, had their faces filled with shock.
A Refining God Heavenly Man, the practitioner who stood at the peak in the Spirit Realm.
Had been reduced to ashes.
He was killed with a mere wave of the hand, as if swatting away two mosquitoes.
“Master is truly amazing!”
An endless admiration filled Xu Yan’s heart.
It would take him a sneak attack to kill a Refining God Heavenly Man, yet his master only needed to give him a light pat, and the Refining God Heavenly Man would be turned to dust.
And, his master didn’t even utilize his full strength. Just a casual action, like swatting a mosquito, a simple clapping hands was enough!
“When will I be able to achieve that?”
Xu Yan secretly wondered to himself.
Meng Chong touched his shiny bald head and pondered. His Indestructible Golden Body of the Big Day was still too weak. He couldn’t yet reach the level of his master, who could easily kill a Refining God Heavenly Man with just one touch.
“Once I break through to the second layer of the Undying Golden Body, I should be pretty much there.”
Meng Chong thought to himself.
The attack by the elders of the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family was only a small interlude. They continued on their way to the place mentioned by Yu Xiaolong.
At about a hundred miles outside Zheng Country’s capital, there was a newly established manor in a pleasant and tranquil valley.
Li Xuan sat at ease in a chair.
Nature’s spiritual energy continuously entered his body. Even without cultivation, his spiritual practice was unknowingly and slowly advancing.
The base in the Spirit Realm was now ready.
That day, Xu Yan and Meng Chong came to say their goodbyes. They were prepared to explore the Spirit Realm and challenge its exceptional talents.
“Go, the path of Martial Arts is never smooth. Experiencing more and engaging in more fights will help you understand it better, absorb the wisdom of all schools, and comprehend the true meaning of Martial Arts…”
Li Xuan spoke in the stern voice of a strict teacher.
“Yes, Master!”
Xu Yan and Meng Chong dutifully replied.
“Once you have comprehended the principles of Divine Skills, come back here. I will teach you the martial arts beyond the Divine Skills.”
Li Xuan looked at the two disciples and said.
“Disciple will certainly work hard to cultivate, constantly understand Divine Skills and comprehend the principles of Divine Skills as soon as possible.”
Xu Yan respectfully replied.
“The disciple will also strive to understand the second and third levels of the Undying Golden Body as soon as possible.”
Meng Chong echoed.
“Alright, go!”
Li Xuan nodded.
In the end, he decided to wait until Xu Yan fully understood the principles of the Divine Skills before teaching him the next stage of martial arts.
Even if he taught him the martial arts beyond the Divine Skills, without comprehending the Divine Skills, Xu Yan would not be able to understand it anyway.
Moreover, while he had a basic outline and understanding of the martial arts beyond Divine Skills, Li Xuan was not yet satisfied with his elaboration. Perhaps after breaking through the Divine Skills, he might have new ideas that could lead him to develop better martial arts techniques.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong left.
Yuzhou was likely to stir up some drama again, as Xu Yan was currently being hunted by the Jade Spirit Sect, Su Family, and the Dai Family. The bounty on his head had reached several million Spirit Crystals.
Even the identity of a practitioner from the Spirit Sect or a noble martial arts family was offered.
Many Loose Cultivators desired that opportunity to rise in the world and be freed from their Loose Cultivator’s status.
Xu Yan was not a man to swallow his wrath. How could he let this go?
Just as Dai Sheng had once pursued him, he turned around and took down the Dai Family’s operation.
“Master.”
Su Lingxiu massaged her master’s shoulders with a flattering smile on her face.
“Why didn’t you go?”
Li Xuan asked in surprise.
“My abilities are too weak.”
Su Lingxiu replied helplessly.
She was hunted by Yinlou Pavilion. Zhou Ying took her into hiding, but she never felt safe since the Spirit Realm was full of powerful practitioners, and she was merely at the Divine Intent State.
If she encountered a Refining God Heavenly Man, she could only run. If she was not careful, she might not even be given the opportunity to escape.
Therefore, she felt insecure and had no desire to explore outside freely.
“Unlike big brother and second brother, who could even resist and kill a Refining God Heavenly Man, I’ve decided to go exploring only after breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm.”
Su Lingxiu spoke with her eyes half closed.
Once she broke through to the Divine Origin Realm, she would have some confidence.
“As you wish!”
Li Xuan did not force her.
Su Lingxiu was a Martial Artist and a healer. Her strength did not lie in fighting. As long as she had Spiritual Medicine, she could continue refining medicine and perfecting her Alchemy.
“Focus on your cultivation and break through to the Divine Origin Realm as soon as possible!”
Li Xuan encouraged her.
“Yes, Master!”
Su Lingxiu replied happily.
As for Shi’er, Meng Shushu, and Zhou Ying, they had no desire to explore the Spirit Realm. They were not even at the Divine Intent State. Their power was not strong enough in the Spirit Realm, and the perceived threat was always there.
The Red Cat too had no intention to venture out. It was currently putting in a great effort to improve its skills with the ambition to become a demon king.
…
“Big brother, where are we going?”
Meng Chong asked.
Xu Yan paused for a moment, answering, “Old man Dai Sheng once pursued me. Although I took down the Dai Family once, the Dai Family hasn’t been completely exterminated.
“I can’t swallow this anger. Moreover, the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family are also hunting me.
“It’s time to teach the Spirit Sects and noble families of the Spirit Realm a lesson.”
With that, his eyes turned cold. He said, “Since little brother has the power to kill a Heavenly Man, I can hold Dai Sheng off. Even if I can’t win, at least I won’t be helpless.”
“So, let’s take down the Dai Family!”
Xu Yan was not far from reaching the Divine Intent State of Minor Success, and had broken through the second state of Sword Dao, the Heart Sword Realm, making his strength much higher than before.
Even if he couldn’t defeat Dai Sheng, holding him off wouldn’t be a problem.
With Meng Chong’s power, morphing into a six-meter tall giant, there was no problem sweeping through the Dai Family.
The Heavenly Man could never hurt Meng Chong, who had an Indestructible Armor, and it would be even more difficult to hurt his physical defense.
