Chapter 1336: Late-stage Heavenly Immortal
Immortal Peak City, within an uninhabited courtyard.
Xu Nian and Luo Bing both sat cross-legged on prayer mats.
At this moment, Luo Bing’s internal injuries had mostly healed.
This courtyard was temporarily rented by Xu Nian.
After all, having offended the Qingxuan Sect, it was not advisable to stay at an inn.
After ten days of recuperation, Luo Bing’s Immortal Essence had fully stabilized.
She had almost returned to her peak condition.
"Thank you!" Luo Bing gratefully looked at Xu Nian.
If not for Xu Nian, she would have self-destructed by now.
"Tell me what happened?" Xu Nian casually asked.
He had saved Luo Bing purely because they were old acquaintances and hailed from the same place.
He had no ulterior motives.
After reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, appearances were no longer as important.
Any woman could transform into a stunning beauty.
"I ascended to the Immortal Realm twenty years ago. After ascending, I accepted a Master, Master Azure Jade. My Master was an Early-stage Profound Immortal expert and practiced the Bi Yu Immortal Manual. However, the Qingxuan Sect Master coveted my Master’s cultivation technique and pursued us multiple times."
"Three years ago, my Master died at the hands of the Qingxuan Sect Master to protect me. I’ve been hiding in Qingye City, quietly cultivating, but unexpectedly encountered that damned young master of the Lin Family. The eldest young master of the Lin Family wanted to force me to marry him. In anger, I killed him, not knowing he was also a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect," Luo Bing said angrily.
Xu Nian understood.
It seemed that Luo Bing’s twenty years since ascension had not been easy.
"What exactly is the Bi Yu Immortal Manual? Why does the Qingxuan Sect Master covet it so much?" Xu Nian curiously asked.
"The Bi Yu Immortal Manual was created by an individual known as the Bi Yu Immortal Emperor. After ascending, he left his cultivation technique in the Immortal Realm, which my Master inadvertently obtained and practiced. Somehow the Qingxuan Sect Master found out and has been pressuring my Master to hand over the technique. However, he doesn’t know that the Bi Yu Immortal Manual can only be cultivated by women," Luo Bing explained.
Xu Nian nodded.
To be created by an Immortal Emperor, the technique was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"What do you plan to do next?" Xu Nian asked.
"I want to join Tianjian Sect. Only by joining can I have the opportunity to kill the Qingxuan Sect Master," Luo Bing replied.
"Tianjian Sect? Seems difficult to enter, isn’t it?" Xu Nian remarked.
"Yes, Tianjian Sect recruits new members every ten years. Three years later is the next recruitment period. As long as I get there, I’m confident I can pass the test. But with my current strength, I fear I won’t be able to reach Tianjian Immortal Domain before getting caught by Qingxuan Sect," Luo Bing responded.
"Then come with me," Xu Nian proposed.
He was heading to Tianjian Immortal Domain anyway.
"I have nothing to repay you with," Luo Bing said.
Xu Nian smiled: "If I really wanted something from you, I wouldn’t have healed you for ten days. Killing you and taking your belongings would be easier, don’t you think?"
"If you don’t mind, I’m willing to repay you with my body," Luo Bing hesitated before saying.
"Alright!" Xu Nian laughed.
Luo Bing was taken aback, but ultimately clenched her teeth and removed her dress.
However, the scene she imagined where Xu Nian would pounce didn’t happen. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Xu Nian had already left and was trying his sword outside the courtyard.
Luo Bing’s expression became complex as she watched the young man wield the sword in the courtyard, tears suddenly streaming down.
On her journey, aside from her Master, no one else had treated her so well.
...
While Xu Nian and Luo Bing rested in the small courtyard.
In Qingxuan Sect, within the Elder’s Great Hall, an elderly man sat cross-legged.
In front of him stood two middle-aged men dressed in Qingxuan Sect attire.
"Master, both Sixth and Fifth Junior Brothers were killed. This is the image reported by the Lin Family. You were in closed-door cultivation earlier, so we didn’t dare disturb you." One youth explained.
After speaking, he displayed an image in the hall.
The image showed Xu Nian wielding his sword to slay Qingxuan Sect disciples.
"This person’s strength should be at Late Stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm, daring to kill my Qingyan’s disciples, courting death!"
The elderly man on the main seat was furious, strong killing intent erupted from his eyes.
The pressure of the Early-stage Profound Immortal directly oppressed the two disciples at the Peak of Heavenly Immortal Level, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Although Early-stage Profound Immortal and Peak of Heavenly Immortal Level are just one realm apart, their powers are worlds apart.
"The most important thing is, this woman named Luo Bing was also taken by him. They should be in Immortal Peak City now, Master, should we go there?" The other middle-aged man continued.
"No rush. I’m currently crafting the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. Once it’s completed, we’ll go together. This time we must not let Luo Bing escape, otherwise if the Sect Master blames us, we’ll be in serious trouble," the elderly man said.
"Yes, Master! With you taking charge, this time Luo Bing definitely won’t escape," the two middle-aged men immediately praised.
"You may go," the elderly man said.
"Yes, Master!"
After acknowledging, the two men left.
...
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Xu Nian continually studied the Wind Attribute Shattering Void Law.
Now, he could be considered thoroughly entry-level in the Shattering Void Law.
Simultaneously, the Earth Attribute Power and Gravity Space, as well as spatial attribute’s Space Folding and Space Tear, all crossed into the Law Realm.
After all, his two avatars were continually cultivating in Chaos Divine Palace.
One day outside is a hundred days inside.
Three months equaled twenty-five years in Chaos Divine Palace.
These twenty-five years were enough to greatly enhance Xu Nian’s strength.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian swung a sword.
On a large rock in the distance, a deep sword mark instantly appeared.
This was on a Black Dragon Stone, a highly durable material in the Immortal Realm.
An Early Stage Heavenly Immortal expert couldn’t leave any marks on it.
Even a full-force strike from the Peak of Heavenly Immortal could only leave a shallow sword mark.
The sword mark Xu Nian made was a full foot deep, indicating how powerful the attack was.
"Xu Nian, did you break through to the Late Stage of Heavenly Immortal?" Luo Bing approached, surprised.
"Yes, I’ve just recently broken through," Xu Nian nodded.
He had absorbed the Immortal Embryo of that Late Stage Heavenly Immortal expert from Qingxuan Sect, together with a hundred drops of Kunlun’s Immortal Liquid, achieving the breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Reaching the Late Stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortals can condense Immortal Embryos.
However, Xu Nian discovered his soul didn’t merge with the Immortal Embryo but rather integrated into the Chaos Green Lotus Seed.
Which meant Xu Nian’s Immortal Embryo was merely a seed.
"Have you begun condensing your Immortal Embryo?" Luo Bing asked in surprise.
"I’ve started, but it will still take some time before it fully forms," Xu Nian replied.
He wasn’t lying; the Chaos Green Lotus Seed was indeed his Immortal Embryo.
He had already infused a hundred drops of Immortal Marrow into the Chaos Green Lotus Seed.
But Xu Nian felt that the Chaos Green Lotus Seed hadn’t completely formed yet.
For others, twenty drops would suffice.
Yet for Xu Nian, a hundred drops weren’t enough.
The Chaos Green Lotus Seed felt like a bottomless pit.
This made Xu Nian instantly feel a shortage of Immortal Marrow.
Because he had two avatars needing Immortal Marrow.
The Immortal Marrow he had wasn’t nearly enough.
"Seems I need to find a way to get more Immortal Marrow," Xu Nian thought to himself.
