Chapter 467 - 247、Sword Slashing Three Great Devil Cultivating Dao Lords
Then, the courtyard was once again filled with a sky full of yellow sand. Nine brilliant golden Blood Shadows materialized, alongside the Dessication Twin Swords. Xu Xing unleashed various offensive methods simultaneously, all striking the surface of the Immortal Barrier. The terrifying aura threatened to collapse the small heaven and earth within the courtyard. However, when these various Daoist techniques reached the Immortal Qi Barrier, their aura suddenly diminished.
It was like a drizzling spring rain falling on a blue stone slab; though its patter could be heard, it caused no damage to the stone slab.
It consumed about four percent, Xu Xing thought. My frequent attacks this time are at least equivalent to a full-power blow from a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator. In other words, relying on this strand of Innate Immortal Qi alone, I possess strength no less than that of a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator. Although this Immortal Qi is only a strand, it’s incomparable to Nascent Soul stage Magic Power, both in quality and quantity...
Xu Xing waved his sleeve. The Immortal Qi Barrier transformed back into a serpentine strand of milky-white Qi and entered the Nascent Soul within his body.
Condensing this strand of Innate Immortal Qi had consumed Magic Power equivalent to the full strength of five Nascent Soul Daoist Lords. He had witnessed the anomaly of the Chongzhen Temple Blessed Land and, in the end, had no choice but to use the Thunder Spirit Liquid stored during his Tribulation Crossing to complete the Immortal Qi’s final condensation.
However, it was all worth it. With the Innate Immortal Qi in hand, combined with his Taoist Fruits, his current strength firmly placed him among the top Dao Lords in all aspects, except for being slightly weaker in offensive power compared to Nascent Soul Grand Cultivators.
With my Primordial Spirit contained, I, Xu Xing, can roam the Human Realm freely, with the exception of the Chiming Imperial Dynasty, he thought, a smile appearing on his face.
This strand of Immortal Qi would be the true foundation for him to establish the Butian Sect and dare to challenge the Higher Teachings.
Then, Xu Xing glanced at the Spiritual Plants in the courtyard, which had withered and yellowed due to his trials. He pondered for a moment, then used a Spell and waved his sleeve. In an instant, flowers bloomed all over the garden, and the bamboo straightened, showing no signs of having been toppled.
It’s time to meet the guests, he mused. This time, Chongzhen Temple has also suffered a calamity because of me... Although the Blessed Land remains, the density of its Spiritual Energy has dropped significantly.
Xu Xing tidied his clothes, combed his hair, secured his topknot with a crown, and shook his head. He sent out a Talismanic message before striding out quickly.
"Lord Xu..."
"Greetings, Senior Xu..."
Just then, the cultivators of Chongzhen Temple, having received the Talismanic message, transformed into several Escaping Lights and arrived at the door of Xu Xing’s residence. When they saw Xu Xing emerge, they all bowed respectfully, their attitudes deferential, without a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Xu Mou will take full responsibility for the losses your sect has suffered. There will be no evasion," Xu Xing stated solemnly, standing before the Chongzhen Temple Master without any superfluous words, a genuinely apologetic expression on his face.
Haste makes waste, and fixating on small gains can ruin great endeavors, he thought. With my current strength, even if I were to bully Chongzhen Temple, they might not dare question it. But I am a person with grand ambitions; how could I discard my credibility for such a minor gain? Besides, being in debt... isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
"Uncle Xu, you are too polite. For the sake of the Righteous Path, this minor loss our sect has suffered is nothing..." the Chongzhen Temple Master replied.
Hearing Xu Xing’s words, the Chongzhen Temple Master was inwardly surprised. However, being a man of considerable shrewdness, he didn’t immediately believe the statement. After carefully choosing his words, he took the initiative to speak in Xu Xing’s defense.
Back at Cuoshan Market, Xu Xing was still in debt and couldn’t afford compensation for the damaged Spiritual veins of the Market... And now, he has damaged the Source of the Chongzhen Temple blessed land. The debt in Spirit Shells isn’t just tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions—it’s far more. Resources like the Source of the blessed land simply cannot be measured in Spirit Shells.
"Although Righteous Monks should support one another, in Xu Mou’s view, Chongzhen Temple is not a wealthy sect," Xu Xing said, waving his hand to indicate the Chongzhen Temple Master need not say more. "If Chongzhen Temple feels resentment and becomes alienated from the Righteous Path because of my actions, then that would be Xu Mou’s responsibility!"
He raised his sleeve, pulled out a sheet of magic paper, and began to write with a brush. After finishing, he hesitated for a moment, then with focused power, pressed his fingers to the paper, inscribing the seven large characters: "Butian Sect Master Xu Xing."
"Within a limit of one thousand years, Xu Mou shall compensate for Chongzhen Temple’s losses. If, after one thousand years, Xu Mou cannot do so, then Xu Mou will no longer have the face to call himself a Righteous Monk!"
As he finished speaking, Xu Xing handed the Contract Book to the Chongzhen Temple Master. He took a deep breath, a determined look on his face, and his voice was grave.
Once his words fell, the Chongzhen Temple cultivators present were all deeply moved.
No wonder their Ancestor Buxu Zi had wanted to invite Xu Xing into their sect and regarded him as key to protecting the future Daoism of Chongzhen Temple.
Taking responsibility is easier said than done, they thought. If Xu Xing had merely offered a few insincere platitudes, Chongzhen Temple would not have been unwilling to forgive and be lenient. Yet, he insisted on drawing up a Contract Book... With this Contract Book, as long as Xu Xing remains active within the Righteous Path in East Huangzhou a thousand years from now, he would absolutely not dare to deny this debt.
"But... this Butian Sect?" the Chongzhen Temple Master asked, taking the Contract Book. After scanning it for a few moments, he paused at the words "Butian Sect," puzzled. There are countless sects in East Huangzhou, but as far as I know, none are called the Butian Sect.
"This sect... Sect Master Ren requested that Xu Mou establish it..." Xu Xing hesitated for a moment before recounting a pre-arranged story to the Chongzhen Temple cultivators, speaking with earnest passion and citing a secret decree as proof.
Soon, the Chongzhen Temple cultivators believed his words.
"Uncle Xu establishing the Butian Sect is to support and uphold the Righteous Path! Chongzhen Temple will offer its full support!"
