Upon hearing White Water's words, the cultivators present all began to scheme quietly.Compared to the imminent war between the Hundred Refinement Sect and the Heaven Burning Sect, the bounty from Feather Transformation Heaven Palace was far more enticing.Possessing the corpses of three Nascent Soul cultivators, what more could they worry about? They could even disregard the Hundred Refinement Sect and the Heaven Burning Sect, striding boldly across the entire Mystic Azure Star!Moreover, the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Heaven Burning Sect and the Hundred Refinement Sect, upon learning of this bounty, would likely slow their war efforts to focus entirely on capturing Shang Tianjue and Shang Xingchen.Chu Xuan harbored some thoughts on this matter as well. But they were just thoughts. He did not believe that Shang Tianjue and Shang Xingchen, who had resurrected, would be easy to kill.If they could emerge from underground ruins and survive across five centuries, it indicated they ce

Just as Chu Xuan was about to leave, he heard a faint crackling sound from the surface of the cocoon. His expression brightened, "It seems we're also nearing the final stage." Chu Xuan decided to sit down beside the formation, studying the "Venom Scripture" while waiting. He discovered that although his talent in the path of alchemy was mediocre, he excelled in the art of poison. His storage bag now contained six types of poisons capable of killing Golden Core cultivators—three with color, two with smell, and the strongest being colorless and odorless, a truly formidable poison. However, Chu Xuan suddenly had a new inspiration. He thought of designing a poison that could latch onto an opponent's Spiritual Qi during combat. Once the enemy retracted their Spiritual Qi, the poison would enter directly into their Golden Core, attacking it from within! Several days passed, and the cracks on the surface of the dark purple cocoon multiplied, spreading like a spider web. Finally, on

Over time, Chu Xuan had grown indifferent to him.From the corner of his eye, Yuan noticed the "Yin Thunder Evil Technique" in Chu Xuan's hand and was visibly taken aback. The technique was notoriously difficult to master, only advancing rapidly with the aid of yin thunder."Fellow daoist He," Yuan coughed lightly, "I know of a cavern underground that harbors yin thunder, which might aid your cultivation. However, there resides a powerful Golden Core stage demonic beast, necessitating our collaboration..."Chu Xuan smiled, "No need. I am not fond of taking risks, nor do I relish conflict."Confused, Yuan watched as Chu Xuan walked away without hesitation. How could a cultivator not embrace risks for the sake of fierce advancement? This He Liang was truly peculiar.After leaving the scripture pavilion, Chu Xuan headed to the treasure pavilion. With over ten thousand sect contributions to his name, purchasing was a simple matter. After selecting some treasures, he quickly made his exit.

This mountain range lay within the former dominion of the Mystical Sound Palace. Compared to other areas, the Spiritual Qi here was sparse. At the foot of the mountain, there were only some mortal hunters who made their living by hunting wild beasts.It was precisely because of this that it was chosen as the meeting place by the Hidden Mountain Gathering.When Chu Xuan arrived, he found that not everyone had gathered yet. Two were missing.Jian Yitong still maintained his handsome, youthful appearance, flirtatiously exchanging glances with the voluptuous female cultivator known as "Snow Grease" from last time.Black Chess patiently waited for an hour before saying, "Flying Fish and Rainstorm, these two fellow daoists have not arrived. Let's not wait any longer; we'll start the gathering now."Their absence could mean many things. Perhaps they were at a critical point in their cultivation and couldn't make it, or maybe they were seriously injured or even dead. Chu Xuan didn't care.Thi

Three days later, layered figures appeared on the horizon. An overwhelming aura descended from the sky as if to erase the entire battlefield from existence."They have finally arrived."Shang Tianjue opened his eyes, a glint of cold light flashing within them.An elderly man with graying temples and a hunched figure had appeared before him at some unknown moment."Shang Tianjue, it really is your aura," the old man said calmly."Old dog, you're still alive, that's great," Shang Tianjue smiled.Shentu Jin's eyes darkened instantly. "Old dog." It had been many years since he had heard such a derogatory term. Except for Shang Tianjue, no one dared to address him that way.Nearby, five Golden Core cultivators from the Heaven Burning Sect hovered in mid-air. Hearing Shang Tianjue's voice, their pupils shrank.Such aggressiveness. So this was Shang Tianjue, the "Overlord"?"Ignorant child, I shall teach you how to respect your elders!" Shentu Jin growled, his hand striking downwards fiercel
