The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 401 - 346: Don’t Leave Tonight

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and moon shuttle swiftly.

At dawn, Chu Huaixu would set off for the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm.

Previously, the first layer he cleared was located in the Spring and Autumn Mountain area of the East Continent.

This time, although the location of the second layer is also randomly selected, it is not within the East Continent Mirror Country, but within the borders of the Moon Country.

For Chu Huaixu, this had its advantages.

Earlier, he had summoned the National Guardian Sword of the Moon Country and utilized the surging Power of Fortune contained within it.

During this process, his defiant body, like a bird passing over that naturally loses feathers, locked a portion of the flowing Fortune within itself.

Though not much, it could still be of use within the borders of the Moon Country.

It was as if he gained an extra buff on his body.

Recently, Chu Huaixu had been making various preparations.

"In the first layer of the Origin Spirit Realm, I encountered a Nascent Soul True Monarch undergoing possession and reincarnation."

"So this second layer is at least going to have a Nascent Soul True Monarch as the baseline."

"The opponent will definitely only be stronger than Ye Kongxuan!"

Moreover, there was one point he was more concerned about.

In Kunlun Cave Heaven, techniques during the Qi Refining Stage were relatively scarce.

This was because it was equivalent to only the initial stage in Kunlun Cave Heaven, just stepping into the world of cultivation.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch undergoing possession and reincarnation would be limited by this.

Like during the previous battle, Ye Kongxuan’s most flashy move was nothing more than the Four Symbols Sword Array.

From the Jade Scroll in his Storage Ring, it was clear that he actually knew many divine techniques.

But the threshold for these techniques was high, requiring at least the Foundation Establishment Stage to start.

"But this time entering the second layer, my opponents are cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"This is a completely different matter!"

This means... I’m about to beat up centenarians!

According to the cultivation system of Kunlun Cave Heaven, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage at a hundred years old considered one a prodigy.

Reaching it at seventy or eighty made one a genius among geniuses!

Even those undergoing possession and reincarnation were no exception.

Chu Huaixu couldn’t figure out whether he would be encountering an old man or an old woman.

But no matter the case, they hadn’t lived in vain.

Living to such an age, cultivating all the way to the Foundation Establishment Stage, their strength would far exceed that of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

"If it weren’t for the resistance and suppression of the Power of the Heavenly Dao in the Profound Yellow Realm, the peak strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage would roughly equal the peak of the Fourth Realm here."

"I suspect this journey might not be easy."

So, half a month ago, Chu Huaixu, following his old methods, extracted a few wisps of Evil Qi from the Bronze Sword again.

This time it wasn’t to strengthen the Evil Pill.

Because the two Evil Pills could no longer be strengthened.

He was refining new Evil Pills!

On one hand, this could serve as one of his trump cards.

On the other hand, these could be used to store Spirit Roots.

As his cultivation advanced, Chu Huaixu’s development of [Dao Generating One] also improved.

Previously, refining Evil Pills took a large amount of time.

Now, in just nine days, he managed to refine two more.

Then he repeated the process, extracting more Evil Qi from the Bronze Sword to enhance the Evil Pills.

The Evil Sword was left somewhat speechless by him.

Every time it was about to react, it was sealed by a restriction, forced into slumber.

The next time it was awakened, seeing Chu Huaixu, it couldn’t help but become angry again.

Once the Sword Spirit became enraged, the Evil Qi of the world’s most wicked would overflow, allowing Chu Huaixu to absorb it seamlessly!

Unless one day it found some appeal in Chu Huaixu....

However, barring unforeseen events, the Dead Fox would still have ways to infuriate it again by that time.

"A broken sword, how clever can it get?"

He treated it like playing with a fool.

In addition to preparing two Evil Pills, during this time, he also followed various masters to learn different techniques.

He learned some talisman methods from Li Chunsong.

He learned some pupil techniques from Zhao Shuqi.

He used Lu Pan’s relics to learn some arrays.

For this, he spent quite a bit of Experience Points.

After all, Chu Huaixu knew very well; according to the original storyline, Xu Ziqing would clear the path alone with one sword.

With the Bronze Sword overflowing with Evil Qi, any flashy moves of the opponent would be ineffective.

But he was different; he could really be outdone by those flashy techniques.

Thus, he decided to make himself flashy as well.

Learning a variety of messy techniques wouldn’t go wrong!

During this time, the senior members of the Daoist Sect began to marvel at Chu Huaixu’s comprehension.

Whatever was taught to him today, by the next day, he had basically mastered.

Li Chunsong thought, "Compared to him, I was just a rotten piece of wood back then!"

As for Zhao Shuqi, in his eyes, he was merely rotten wood number two.

In such a short time, Chu Huaixu had already become a Middle Grade Talisman Master, Middle Grade Array Master, and Middle Grade Pupil Master.

Although he indulged in the thrill of being a monstrous genius, giving people the illusion that he was even more exaggerated than Comprehension 10, he almost depleted his Experience Points.

The sun set, and the family of three, along with the uninvited guest Lin Zixuan, finished dinner together at the table.

After dinner, Chu Huaixu glanced at her.

He felt this young girl was absent-minded, even her appetite had decreased today.

Noticing Chu Huaixu’s gaze, she stood up swiftly, tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, preparing to wash them.

The Dead Fox: "...."

That wasn’t even his intention.

Chu Huaixu took the initiative to speak, "Go ahead, what do you need?"

Lin Zixuan hesitated slightly upon hearing this, lifting her eyes to look at the half-rival across from her, and finally said, "Um...."
