"I, Li Xieyun, have finally come out!"
Li Xieyun let out a wild roar. Originally, he had crossed thirty million kilometers in order to look for Gu Xuan, but unexpectedly, he was trapped by a Vicious Beast for more than a year before being able to escape.
Not only that, in order to escape, he had used a secret art. At this moment, his realm had already fallen to the Peak Emperor Level, and even his aura had become a little sluggish.
"A year has passed. Where is Master now?" Li Xieyun frowned and closed his eyes, wanting to sense the trace of karma between him and Gu Xuan.
However, there was nothing.
"As I thought, my cultivation base has dropped. At the very least, until I recover, I won't be able to sense Karma anymore."
Li Xieyun sighed.
"Right now, I have two choices. Either to find a place where I can recover from my injuries and once I return to the Monarch Stage, I will naturally be able to sense the cause and effect of the situation. But it took too long. Maybe a year, maybe ten years, I don't want to wait any longer. "
"The second choice, is to directly head towards the Great Desolate Empire. Since Master has once appeared there, he will definitely leave behind traces."
Almost without hesitation, Li Xieyun decided to directly look for Gu Xuan.
Once they found Gu Xuan, it would be easy to recover from their injuries.
Master was a Grade Seven Alchemist a hundred years ago. Now, after a hundred years, his understanding of the art of alchemy must have grown deeper. Who knows, he might have become a Grade Eight Alchemist long ago.
Li Xieyun wore a faint smile on his face, and his body transformed into a Light of Escape, disappearing into the horizon.
What Li Xieyun did not know was that, at this moment, after the battle of Yingtian Institution, in order to not cause too much trouble, Gu Xuan had already traveled through the night towards the Ying Tian Sect.
The distance between Gu Xuan and his Great Desolate Empire was naturally getting wider and wider.
Gu Xuan advanced extremely quickly. When he finally returned to the Ying Tian Sect, the news of him sending people to attack the Gu Xuan Family and the Yingtian Institution together with the nine great Medium Sects had spread throughout the entire South-East Region.
In an instant, Gu Xuan's mighty name once again resounded throughout the entire South-East Region.
The second Golden Blade Sect, the third Heavenly Eagle Sect, and the fourth Blood Moon Sect, who suffered the most losses, contacted their respective Medium Sects and prepared to encircle and annihilate their Ying Tian Sect once again.
However, this time, no other sect dared to respond, they were angry to the point that their three Large Sect s jumped to their feet.
In this mission aimed at Gu Xuan, the Golden Blade Sect and Blood Moon Sect had lost one Four Stars Emperor Level and several One Star Emperor Level, and the Heavenly Eagle Sect had lost a total of ten Emperor Level Expert s.
It was already the third day since Gu Xuan returned to the Ying Tian Sect.
His father, his grandfather and the others in the Heaven Access King Palace had already been settled down by him, and people with Yingtian Institution began to gradually assimilate into his Ying Tian Sect.
In a secret room in the Seven-Storey Pagoda, Gu Xuan urged the Protection Barrier to move again and again as he held it in his hand.
He had already completely controlled the God-Destructing Bone Lance's sixth stage, and the current God-Destructing Bone Lance was already comparable to the High-Grade Earthly Treasure. In terms of Medium Sects, these could already be considered as the top three Dharma treasures.
With the sixth stage of Protection Barrier in his grasp, all the treasures within the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion had already been obtained by Gu Xuan.
Amongst them, just the Heavenly Essence Pill alone numbered more than a hundred and fifty.
There were also the Emperor Level Martial Cultivator's Inheritance Stone Talisman s, a total of more than one hundred and thirty of them, which were also obtained by Gu Xuan.
The first thing Gu Xuan did was to hand over half of the Inheritance Stone Talisman to the Dojo of Limits elders, and let them choose the disciples with outstanding talent from the sect, and send these Inheritance Stone Talisman down.
The only request that Gu Xuan had was to obtain the absolute loyalty of the Inheritance Stone Talisman's disciple, like what Chu Chen had done back then. After obtaining his own benefits, the moment he turned around, he actually wanted to compete for the position of sect master with him.
Gu Xuan still had sixty-five Inheritance Stone Talisman left, he wanted to leave these for his family.
In the end, Gu Family were still too weak, and it was necessary for a few experts to appear as soon as possible. They couldn't possibly continue to live under the protection of his Ying Tian Sect.
Gu Xuan planned for a while, before he abandoned these chores in his mind and started to comprehend the seventh stage Protection Barrier s.
If he could completely comprehend the seventh level of God-Destructing Bone Lance, then this Spiritual Treasure would be able to reach the level of a Earth Stage Peak Rank Soul Treasure. With its uniqueness, it could even be compared to half a step into the Heaven Rank, and would be of great help to him.
However, the seventh stage of the Protection Barrier was something that even the old master of the Flame Devil Ancient Mansion could not grasp, and it was difficult for Gu Xuan to grasp it!
Boom!
Gu Xuan thrusted out his spear, causing space to burst apart and a hole to appear in space around him.
"This feeling, something is wrong. Come again!"
Gu Xuan frowned, and thrusted his spear out again, causing an explosive sound to ring out from the direction of the spear's tip.
Gu Xuan trained like this for three days.
When Gu Xuan returned, with a backbone, the elders felt as if a huge boulder had dropped from their hearts. They no longer had to worry about the experts of the Profound Sword Sect suddenly launching a sneak attack.
Mo Jingyun went into closed door cultivation, Gu Xuan went into closed door cultivation, Elder Zi went into closed door cultivation, and the achievement elder became like a substitute sect master of the Ying Tian Sect.
However, the Elder didn't care. Ying Tian Sect was his foundation, and the stronger his Ying Tian Sect, the happier he would be.
It had to be known that not too long ago, he was only a Master Level, but now, he could become a One Star Emperor Level expert.
Moreover, he had a very clear understanding of his own talent. If not for the chance he got, or Gu Xuan's guidance, it would have been practically impossible for him to raise his Two Stars Emperor Level.
Therefore, rather than wasting time on cultivation, it was better to take care of all the miscellaneous matters from Ying Tian Sect.
Aside from that, the elder had been paying attention to the situation with Profound Sword Sect.
Ever since Ye Mingzi, one of the next four great candidates for Sect Master, was killed by Gu Xuan, his attitude towards Profound Sword Sect was simply impossible for anyone to understand.
you have to kill a mere ordinary Emperor Level of mine but I want to exterminate the Profound Sword Sect of a hegemon of your entire sect. Like a tiger that has lost its temper, I have absolutely no words to say when I take revenge for Ye Mingzi.
This was definitely not a good sign. The Elder clearly knew that a huge conspiracy was brewing within the Profound Sword Sect.
Another three days passed, and the South-East Region entered into a strange calm state.
The three Large Sect s who had initially been clamoring about the suppression of the Ying Tian Sect stopped in unison, and began to play a peace-loving drama. Everyone returned to their respective homes, as if they had forgotten the enmity between the Ying Tian Sect s and themselves.
The more difficult it was, the more uneasy the Elder became. However, he couldn't see any problem with this.
No one else in the Ying Tian Sect could see it either.
But this, along with the fact that a life-and-death battle invitation was brought to Ying Tian Sect by a person of Profound Sword Sect, made everything else seem unimportant.
The content of the challenge letter was very simple. Ximen Zhantian, one of the four great sect masters' contestants, challenged Gu Xuan: Ten days later, at the summit of the divine mountain, a life and death battle!
