Undoubtedly, the culprit was Fang Yu.Knowing the generous reward that was pretty much guaranteed upon his win, he had no intentions of losing the fight and had secretly coated his daggers with some of the poison he retrieved from Old Ze's body earlier. This way, he only needed his blade to create an open wound to nerf his opponent.The two older cultivators were speechless that Fang Yu employed this strategy to win, especially as they had been present when Fang Yu extracted the poison from Old Ze's body himself. Meanwhile, Old Ze was the most agitated as he fell victim to the Dragon Salamander's poison twice on the same day."Brat, this is not a noble way to win a battle;" Although numb and half-paralyzed, Old Ze could still speak and he yelled at Fang Yu harshly. "If you're really confident, extract the poison and let's have another go.""There's no need, I've won this round already," Fang Yu said without batting an eyelid. "I'll certainly undo

"I won't let the invincible Matchless Sword Sect down!" Fang Yu promised."It's 'our', not 'the'," Old Ze shook his head. "On second thought, I'll give you another orientation lesson right now. The Sect Master was right, you need to be intimated more with the etiquette culture of our invincible Matchless Sword Sect."Fang Yu's lips twitched but he knew better than to argue. He quietly sealed his mouth shut while the elderly cultivator burst into a tirade.*******Over the next couple of days, Fang Yu went to the Sword Sanctum and the Sword Mount to check them out.As it turned out, the dagger inheritances he found in the library wasn't of much use to him as he had long transcended common techniques and almost condensed a 'blade form' of his own. The inheritance only served for minor reference, and so did the other weapon inheritances he found on the floors he had access to.As for the Sword Mound, Fang Yu ended up exiting the pse

On closer inspection, the flowing water body of Lake Xuanghuang and the blue mist of the space he presently was looked similar, not to mention that the flow circulation of both followed the same tidal pattern. Although Fang Yu had previously guessed that Lin Zinchen's soul was sucked away to this location, it wasn't until now that he finally confirmed for a fact that it was. Since that was the case, he started to look around for Lin Zinchen, but the mist obscured his view and made the task rather difficult.Fang Yu's soul form unintentionally made contact with the blue mist and he was stunned on the spot. This was because he felt his soul grow in that moment. More surprisingly, the transformation was not little."It seems the suspected Wonder in Lake Xuanghuang has a nurturing effect on the soul!" Fang Yu quickly swept his spiritual awareness around to observe the intrinsic workings of the mist.At the end, he started to actively absorb the mist into his b

Fang Yu took a deep breath before speaking, "Senior Brother, I've come to the realization that relying on visualization reflection methods to appear here carries hidden risks. We can't blindly use it in the future."To his surprise, Lin Zinchen nodded in agreement, "That's right. If it wasn't for the vague sense I had in the dream that my gluttonous feast would be beneficial in the long run, I'd have long woken up and returned to my body as soon as I found myself here."Fang Yu registered two key details from his reply, "So you could sense the danger all along, and you could have returned to your body anytime?"Lin Zinchen looked at him weirdly, "Of course. It's common sense that the soul shouldn't be outside the body for too long, and there's naturally a time limit if one insists on doing so. Like now, I can sense I should return to my body in three days, else something terrible might happen.""In that case, we were worrying about you for nothing

Time passed in a flash.Before Fang Yu knew it, it was only two weeks till the opening of the Verdant Chess King's Secret Realm. The cultivation world was already abuzz in preparatory activities for this grand event.A lot of young talents took the opportunity to reveal themselves and gain a reputation before the secret realm opened. This lead to massive changes in the Young Supreme rankings and people could not just get enough of it.Nowadays, the main topics of discussion were the newbie cultivators who made it to the list, veteran rankers who ascended or dropped off the rankings as well as the ineligible rankers who broke through to the demigod realm themselves and lost their ranking rights. In all, the Righteous Path cultivators of the human race spectated the incidents with much pride.Meanwhile, the human race's Demonic Path cultivators were not pleased, especially as most of the new Young Supremes of the Righteous Path seeking reputation in
