Chapter 324 - Disappearing Fate
Baihao Yixin extricated himself from the pile of beauties and sighed. His body blurred and he appeared in the air, 30 meters away from Shi Shenzong.
“Do we have to fight? Can This Emperor just admit defeat?” His expression was quite uncomfortable as he said gloomily.
Right now, he barely had the strength of a First Tribulation Scattered Immortal; how could he be a match for Shi Shenzong?
Even though he did not know who Shi Shenzong was, he could tell that this person was very powerful.
He could not be bothered asking who he was and just wanted to drop matters here.
“I have always wanted to experience the power of a Great Emperor. Despite the fact that you have reincarnated, you still have the abilities of a Great Emperor. We shall fight in the sky to avoid dragging in the innocents,” Shi Shenzong said calmly. His words caused Baihao Yixin to narrow his eyes.
‘Ai, why does everyone treat This Emperor like a sick cat? Back then, This Emperor suppressed your ancestor’s ancestors!’ The more Baihao Yixin thought, the angrier he became. He leapt up from the ground and flew tens of thousands metres high in the sky.
Shi Shenzong leapt up, and as he flew up, he directly drew his sword.
“Today, I’ll show you the abilities of a Great Emperor!” Baihao Yixin said as he smirked, looking quite condescending.
Following this, his arms shook and he directly self-destructed.
Boom!
He turned into a bright sun that gave off a brilliant light. Shi Shenzong, who was quickly rising, could not dodge in time, and his eyes widened as his body was inundated by the intense light.
…
Halfway up the mountain on Skyfall, they had constructed a training area, where over 1,000 third generation disciples were currently training with the Hundred Star Sky-Covering Formation.
Zhou Xuanji stood on the cliff above and looked down at them.
He was expressionless, and no one could tell if he was happy or not.
Chen Bantian appeared behind him and excitedly asked, “Court Lord, I heard that you brought back a special type of fruit. Where’s mine?”
Before, he had been training in the surroundings and fighting with monsters, so he had missed out.
Zhou Xuanji glanced at him and said, “Didn’t you think that you were invincible because of your talent as the Ten Thousand Year Prince? Why do you need a Five Color Immortal Fruit?”
Chen Bantian started to feel desperate.
He immediately slapped himself, looking regretful.
“Court Lord, I was wrong!” Chen Bantian said sincerely. However, it was a pity that Zhou Xuanji still did not react.
“How about this, if you can receive a blow from me, I’ll give you one. I won’t use any spirit energy,” Zhou Xuanji said as he grinned. Hearing this, Chen Bantian felt quite troubled.
He knew that Zhou Xuanji was a physical cultivator
However, after thinking about it, he had already gone through a lot—surely he could withstand this blow.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Just one blow, and you can’t use any spirit energy!”
After saying this, he circulated the spirit energy within his body and nervously faced Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji gave a slight smile and stepped forwards, slamming his right palm forwards as fast as lightning, striking Chen Bantian’s chest.
Bang!
Chen Bantian could not follow Zhou Xuanji’s hand with his eyes at all. He felt as if he had been hit by a mountain and he coughed up a mouthful of blood before flying away. In the blink of an eye, he flew past the cliff and into the sea of clouds.
Zhou Xuanji was not worried about anything happening to him; after all, the trees below were quite dense, and with his cultivation, he would not fall to death.
He took this opportunity to beat Chen Bantian down a bit. Over the past few years, he had become prouder and prouder, and if this went on, he would become overconfident.
Seeing Chen Bantian being blown off the mountain by Zhou Xuanji, many of the disciples were given a big fright.
“Martial Uncle Chen was sent flying by Grand-Teacher!”
“He definitely offended Grand-Teacher.”
“That’s right, he’s too proud and takes no one seriously!”
“Hahaha, he deserves it!”
“How strong do you all think Grand-Teacher is? Who do you think will win between him and the Sword Saint in one year?”
“Of course Grand-Teacher will win!”
The disciples all secretly whispered to each other as they trained.
Standing at the front, Ning Zifeng said coldly, “I’ll punish anyone who doesn’t focus by making them go up and down the mountain 100 times.”
Hearing this, the disciples’ hearts trembled, and they no longer dared to secretly talk.
When they looked up again, they did not see Zhou Xuanji anymore.
In the next period of time, many cultivators from the boundary of the Northern Wilderness headed towards Sword Emperor Canyon.
After all, the Northern Wilderness was very big and it would take some people many years to pass through it. It was incredibly easy for mortals to die on the way.
Zhou Xuanji was not in a hurry; Skyfall was not that far away from Sword Emperor Canyon, and with his speed, he could arrive there in half a month.
He continued to cultivate, wanting to fully become accustomed to his body after fusing with the Violet Demon Monarch Heart.
As such, Fenyu Dragon King, Lin Changge, and Ning Zifeng became his sparring partners.
The demon and two humans could not put their misery into words.
Zhou Xuanji did not use any sword techniques and yet was able to beat them so much that they could not even defend themselves.
Universal Attraction could pull them in front of Zhou Xuanji, and he would use his fists and feet to attack them, making them feel terrible; they felt that they could not withstand even a single punch.
Half a year later, Zhou Xuanji had used the Five Color Immortal Fruits to break through to Great Realization Level Nine. If he used all of them, he would be able to break through to Level Ten, but he did not do so because he wanted to also raise the strength of the others.
For him, increasing his cultivation by one level would not change much.
If he could directly break through to become a Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal, that would be a different story.
With a Five Color Immortal Fruit, all of his subordinates could break through a major stage, and even those with Great Realization cultivation could break through one or two levels.
The amount of spirit energy that they required was far less than what Zhou Xuanji required.
According to Zhou Xuanji’s calculations, he needed more than ten times the amount of spirit energy to break through than other people.
However, this made his foundation even firmer.
On that day, Jiang Xue broke through to Astral Projection Level Seven. She had already eaten five of the Five Color Immortal Fruits, but no one had any objections.
Zhou Xuanji still had dozens of Five Color Immortal Fruits, but he did not reveal this.
The two of them sat within a secret cave, and ahead of them was a small lake. At the center was the Colorful Celestial Tree, and the cave walls around it were socketed with various gems, illuminating this secret cave.
Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and smiled as he said, “At this rate, it will take you only a few more years to break through to the Spirit Refinement stage.”
He inwardly felt quite amazed; the speed at which Jiang Xue had absorbed the Five Color Immortal Fruits was faster than Chongming Demon Monarch, Huang Lianxin, Beixiao Wangjian, and Han Shenbo.
Of course, she could not compare to the two Ten Thousand Year Princes.
Hearing this, Jiang Xue opened her eyes and stuck out her tongue as she said unabashedly, “Because you’re partial towards me. Otherwise, how could I break through so quickly?”
The two of them had been together since they were young, and she did not reject the extra Five Color Immortal Fruits.
Only by becoming stronger could she protect herself, and only when she became stronger would Zhou Xuanji have the ease of mind to do other things.
Zhou Xuanji grinned and said, “Alright, do some divination for the others and see what you can divine now that your cultivation has progressed.”
Jiang Xue closed her eyes and pinched her fingers together as she started to divine.
She did not try to divine Zhou Xuanji, Meng Tianlang, or Chen Bantian. She had tried it before, and it had been useless.
This time, she tried to divine Chongming Demon Monarch.
After a while, she frowned and opened her eyes, saying, “Why can’t I even divine the old cow?”
Daoya Old Man had told her that there were two reasons why people could not be divined: the first was that they were far stronger, and the second was that they were about to die.
The gap between her and Chongming Demon Monarch was not very big.
Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji chuckled and said, “Looks like he’s going to die.”
His tone was quite at ease because he did not believe in fate.
If he knew the future, he could change the future.
Jiang Xue did not accept this and started to divine others.
She was shocked to find that she could not divine any of the people she had divined in the past.
She panicked and quicklu took Zhou Xuanji to find Daoya Old Man.
