NOVPUBThe chaos of the outside world had nothing to do with Chu Xuan.
Possessing the Evil Wood Spiritual Body, he was steadily following his plan to break through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
On this day.
After sitting cross-legged for a whole year, Chu Xuan's aura suddenly surged.
The bottleneck that had suppressed him for three years finally showed signs of loosening!
We are ", find us on google.
Chu Xuan let out a low roar and accelerated the circulation of the Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual.
Spiritual power gushed out from his spiritual sea like a massive wave, crashing against the barrier ahead.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Once, it couldn't break through.
Twice, it couldn't break through.
Three times, four times, five times...
Until the sixth time.
The barrier was shattered by the overwhelming spiritual power.
In an instant, Chu Xuan felt a sense of clarity.
When he came back to his senses, his spiritual sea had expanded by a whole circle.
Compared to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, it was at least twice as large.
This was the difference between the mid stage and late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Finally, I've stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"
Chu Xuan suddenly stood up, feeling elated.
"With my late-stage Foundation Establishment strength, I should be able to claim a share of the chaotic and dangerous Wuzhou!"
Chu Xuan immediately activated the Blood Mirror and returned to the Cangxuan World!
...
Cangxuan, Wuzhou, outside Iron Thread Mountain.
In a seemingly ordinary cave.
Chu Xuan suddenly appeared.
Back then, the Extreme Yin Cave lineage had to follow the orders of the Tianyin Gate and join the war.
He accepted the assignment to go to Iron Thread Mountain to rescue two trapped Tianyin Gate cultivators.
At that time, he was ambushed by a Gu Master from Iron Thread Mountain.
Judging the disparity in strength, he chose to retreat to this cave.
Before heading to Ocean Blue Star, he had already set up multiple formations in the cave.
Ensuring that no one would discover anything here.
Upon returning, Chu Xuan immediately checked the formations.
Confirming there were no signs of intrusion, he felt relieved.
His biggest fear was encountering waiting enemies right after crossing over through the Blood Mirror.
That would be the most terrifying thing.
"I practiced on Ocean Blue Star for a total of four years, which is about five months here."
"In five months, there must have been significant changes. I can't act rashly; I need to gather intelligence first."
Chu Xuan dismantled the formations in the cave, disguised himself as a burly man with a beard, and flew towards the battlefield he remembered.
However, after flying for just a quarter of an hour, he discovered three Qi Refining cultivators fighting fiercely.
Two were Tianyin Gate cultivators, and one was a Blood Bee Cave cultivator.
Blood Bee Cave was a sect under the Thousand Insect Sect, comparable in strength to Iron Thread Mountain.
Chu Xuan remembered that Li Xuanming's mission was to support Blood Bee Cave.
However, the Blood Bee Cave cultivator was evidently stronger.
He drove a swarm of blood bees, overwhelming the two Tianyin Gate cultivators.
Both Tianyin Gate cultivators were covered in wounds, and their spiritual power was depleted.
"Senior Brother, let's run!"
The short and thin Tianyin Gate cultivator said in despair.
"Junior Brother, let's run, you go first."
The tall and thin Tianyin Gate cultivator's eyes darted around.
"Tianyin demon cultivators, die!"
The Blood Bee Cave cultivator laughed cruelly, urging the swarm of blood bees to attack the tall and thin Tianyin Gate cultivator.
The tall and thin cultivator's eyes turned ruthless as he grabbed the short and thin cultivator in front of him and threw him behind.
The blood bees swarmed, landing on the short and thin cultivator's face and chest.
Their sharp mouthparts opened wide, tearing off large chunks of flesh in an instant.
In some places, even the white bones were visible.
"Senior Brother! You!"
The short and thin cultivator screamed in agony, furious, his eyes almost spitting fire.
He wished he could burn this so-called senior brother to ashes.
The tall and thin cultivator sneered, not even turning his head, running faster than a rabbit.
However, he had only run a few steps when he heard the Blood Bee Cave cultivator's scream behind him.
He stopped abruptly and turned around, seeing the Blood Bee Cave cultivator being crushed by a pitch-black ghost claw.
The ghost claw exerted force.
With a crunch, it crushed the cultivator into seven or eight pieces.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Such a casual kill was clearly not something a Qi Refining cultivator could do.
It must be a Foundation Establishment master!
He saw a black-clad cultivator holding the Blood Bee Cave cultivator's head with one hand, seemingly casting a spell.
The black-clad cultivator waved his other hand, clearly calling him over.
The tall and thin cultivator swallowed hard and returned with trepidation.
His only hope was that the other party hadn't seen what just happened.
Fortunately, when he arrived, he found that his junior brother, though hideous, had already breathed his last.
This way, no one could accuse him of betraying his fellow sect members.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life! I am a Qi Refining disciple of the Tianyin Gate..."
The tall and thin cultivator cried bitterly, bowing respectfully.
However, before he could finish speaking, the sinister ghost claw suddenly tightened around him.
With a crunch, it twisted off his head.
Chu Xuan looked at the tall and thin cultivator with bulging eyes and said indifferently, "I'm not interested in knowing your name."
"I'll just search your soul."
One Blood Bee Cave cultivator, one Tianyin Gate cultivator.
The memories of the two corroborated each other.
They would allow Chu Xuan to piece together the major events of the past few months.
After briefly reviewing the memories, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
"The war is still so intense."
"The Thousand Insect Sect, Blood Fury Gate, and Bone Refinement Manor, the three largest native sects of Wuzhou, have only seen Tianyin Gate conquer Blood Fury Gate and Bone Refinement Manor."
"The Thousand Insect Sect, however, has yet to be conquered."
In addition, Chu Xuan discovered through the two's memories that in the past five months, both sides had lost as many as thirty or forty Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Although the Thousand Insect Sect had fewer people, they used Wuzhou's geographical advantages to drag Tianyin Gate cultivators to their deaths in every swamp, rainforest, and valley.
The Golden Elixir experts on both sides had also clashed multiple times.
But Tianyin Gate had not gained any advantage, and one of their Golden Elixir cultivators was even severely injured.
Chu Xuan felt there was something fishy about this.
No matter how tenacious the Thousand Insect Sect was, the number of Golden Elixir cultivators was limited.
They couldn't possibly withstand multiple Golden Elixir experts from Tianyin Gate attacking simultaneously.
Perhaps, the other four sects of the Yu Kingdom were secretly fanning the flames.
They wanted to see this war continue.
Ideally, they would drain Tianyin Gate of its last drop of blood.
If one day the Five Righteous Sects became the Four Righteous Sects, it would be a great thing for them.
"Five days ago, Chen Zhaofeng seized a supreme spiritual artifact from the Thousand Insect Sect and was ambushed by two Gu Masters from Iron Thread Mountain while fleeing, trapped in Iron Thread Mountain?"
Seeing this, Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
A supreme spiritual artifact!
That's rare.
Currently, the only supreme spiritual artifact he had was the Merit Bell, which he had obtained by killing and robbing Hui Kong.
"A supreme spiritual artifact, I'll take it!"
"And that Gu Master who ambushed me before, I'll take your life too!"
Chu Xuan sneered and rode the Heavenly Force Flying Sword towards Iron Thread Mountain.
After so many years on Ocean Blue Star, refining so many Yin Fiends, and consuming so many spiritual items, wasn't it all for today?
