​The war between the Reincarnation Divine Sect and the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had escalated further, and if he wanted to seize any benefits from this chaos, his first priority was to strengthen his own power. Without sufficient strength, even the greatest opportunities could slip by unclaimed.​Chu Xuan made good use of his time on Blue Star, honing his Spiritual Qi techniques and refining his martial skills. In addition, he accelerated the process of filling his poison arsenal. Every time he met with Shang Xingchen, they would inevitably engage in some form of contest in the art of poisons and toxins.​As a result, even though he hadn't focused on it much, his mastery of poison techniques had advanced by leaps and bounds. He had gained a much deeper understanding of many of his earlier concoctions. After some modifications, many poisons that previously only posed a threat to Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stages now had remarkable effects on those in the later stages of Na

​As for the more physically demanding and simple work, it was left to the massive corpse puppets. The crude figures of these puppets were clearly mass-produced. They were the work of some Deity Transformation cultivator from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect.​Chu Xuan could also create these low-level, simple corpse puppets with little intelligence. However, unlike these, the ones he made were stationed on Blue Star, guarding various formations and strategic points.​Chu Xuan soon arrived at the Eastern District of the city.​There were vast stretches of houses here, each set far apart from the others. These houses were the caves that cultivators used as their personal sanctuaries. If these were anything like the caves on Mystic Azure Star, where they had to be carved out of mountain peaks, they would occupy a lot of space.​However, the cities in the outer battlefield could only be built in places with stable spatial conditions, and such areas were typically not very large. Naturally,

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. Chu Xuan often went to Soul Star to harvest Ice Soul Crystals. However, the rate at which he obtained Ice Souls was far slower than his cultivation consumption.Moreover, even with the Ice Souls, he still needed vast quantities of high-grade spirit stones to provide the pure Spiritual Qi required for rapid progress. Without high-grade spirit stones, he would have to use medium-grade ones, which significantly slowed down his cultivation.After all, Blue Star was a planet with sparse Spiritual Qi, not like Mystic Azure Star. He had enough spirit stones to last five or six years, but after ten years, he had almost exhausted all of his high-grade spirit stones and even medium-grade ones. Only a few small spirit stones remained. At this point, he could no longer delay returning to the Heavenly Metal Battlefield."Forget it, forget it," he muttered to himself. "I'll just go back and take a look. Even if I'm contradicting myself, no one will know."C

Han Yiren nitpicked, managing to discard over twenty blood crystals, claiming them all unfit. To an outside observer, the flaws in those blood crystals were trivial, nothing to the extent of disqualifying them.With a smile, she said, "Gao Xuan, your task has not been completed."She looked down from her lofty position, eager to see the frail cultivator clench his fists, gnash his teeth, and wear a furious expression. Every time Chu Xuan displayed such a look, it stirred a strange thrill deep within her.Chu Xuan let out a silly laugh."Senior Sister Han, I was fortunate this time. I happened upon several Nether Crocodiles fighting amongst themselves, and collected a few blood crystals."Saying this, he took out another storage bag and poured out more than thirty blood crystals. "How about now, is this enough?"Han Yiren's smile immediately froze. She had planned to continue scrutinizing. However, she found that these blood crystals were unusually smooth and flawless. Even with the ha

​The next moment, two streaks of Yang Metal Sword Qi shot out simultaneously! After expelling these two sword qii, Bao gradually calmed down.​Chu Xuan was stunned. It took him a long while before he murmured, "Seems like it's truly up and down..."​"Master! So delicious, I want more!"​Bao darted over to Chu Xuan, its eyes gleaming with greed.​Chu Xuan tossed a handful of refined iron from his storage bag.​Bao swiftly devoured it with a single gulp.​Crisp, crunchy.​The hard refined iron seemed to transform into the crisp texture of an apple in its mouth.​One bite, and it was a satisfying crunch!​"Fight each other. Let me see just how strong Bao has become."​Chu Xuan waved his hand. Hu, who had been watching from the side, immediately rushed forward upon receiving the order.​"Bao, I'm coming!"​Hu cracked its knuckles, then charged with a single powerful stride. Its massive fist was ruthlessly aimed at Bao's skull.​"Hehehe!"​Bao finished swallowing the last of the refined ir
