Grandpa, times have changed.

Xu Xing left.

After staring at the little girl for a while, Chi Jiuyu also left.

It's not possible to tell who's who right now.

Although this little girl bears some resemblance to the Demon Ancestor in appearance, as the saying goes, a girl changes drastically as she grows up.

Moreover, Meizu is actually quite mischievous.

But this little girl's straightforward style is somewhat similar to that of the Spirit Ancestor.

Therefore, we still cannot jump to conclusions!
emm...

In short, follow your master first, and when you meet the next one, you should be able to tell who is who.

Could it be that the other one also met his martial uncle when he was a child?

As for everything that happened after her master met the little girl in this settlement, she had memorized it all.

When I get back, I will report to my master, the Spirit Ancestor, the Charm Ancestor, and the Primordial Lord.

Others may not know, but they should be able to explain it to Senior Yuanjun.

As for the master...

Seeing how much effort she's put in, she probably won't hold it against her for the agreement she made with the three seniors...

Right?

Chi Jiuyu thought about it more and more and it made more sense.

In an instant, I felt much more relaxed.

The scene before us also changed at that moment.

No!

Not again?!
……

……

Over the next two years, Xu Xing traversed almost the entire ancient domain.

Even though he had traveled for over two hundred years and was very experienced, he still encountered many dangers and narrowly escaped death several times.

Yang Wu...

It might be okay in the Eastern Wilderness or in places where spiritual energy is scarce, but looking at the entire Tai Xuan Realm now, it is still far too weak.

Most of the time, he faces danger alone.

Only once, when Xu Xing was preparing to go to the last human settlement in the ancient domain that he remembered.

He was unexpectedly drawn into a battle of illusions, and although he managed to escape, he still lost consciousness.

In a nearby human settlement, a cultivator named Feng, who had reached the peak of the Divine Forging Realm, was out training and seeking a way to advance to the Yangwu realm. He happened to find Feng unconscious in the jungle and rescued him.

This resulted in Xu Xing spending half of each of those two years in his settlement.

"Brother Xu, are you leaving already?"

The person speaking was about the same height as Xu Xing.

He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and a long sword was worn at his waist.

Even though he was dressed in clothes made of animal hides, it couldn't hide his heroic spirit.

锋！
He is the most talented cultivator to have appeared in this settlement.

"It's time to go."

Xu Xing was still dressed in black, carrying a long sword in his hand.

After six months of recuperation, his injuries have almost completely healed.

"The humans from other great domains are waiting for me."

The two walked out of the wooden and stone house side by side.

Upon exiting, a woman dressed in simple, plain clothes, with delicate features and an exquisitely beautiful face that seemed like a dream, immediately came to greet them.

It was Mengxuan.

Her talent is no less than Feng's; they grew up together and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

At this time, his cultivation level was also at the peak of the Divine Forging stage.

"Feng!" She came up to the two of them, then looked at Xu Xing, "Brother Xu, are you getting ready to leave already?"

"Yes, I've been bothering you a lot these past few days," Xu Xing said with a smile.

Mengxuan was actually not very welcoming of his arrival.

After all, Feng had promised her when he left the settlement to travel that he would give her an explanation when he returned.

However, they rescued him halfway and returned to the settlement ahead of schedule.

However, after returning, because he passed on the cultivation method of the God-Forging Realm, which is also known as the Nourishing Realm, as well as the "Refining God Method," Feng would often seek him out to discuss cultivation issues.

I promised her something, to give her an explanation...

Naturally, there was no resolution.

“Brother Xu, what are you saying!” Feng said seriously, “If it weren’t for Brother Xu’s teaching of the ‘Refining Spirit Method’ and the Yangwu Cultivation Method, we would not know how many difficulties we would have to go through before we could see the road ahead.”

"We are all of the same kind, so it should be so. Besides, the cultivation method I am nurtured is not my achievement alone."

Xu Xing shook his head slightly, paused, and then said:
"Moreover, I have also benefited a lot in the past six months."

This wasn't just a simple compliment; it was a genuine expression of his feelings.

Feng is a man who truly deserves the title of "a genius of unparalleled talent".

It should be noted that when Xu Xing passed down the cultivation method, he only passed down swordsmanship along with it.

However, he took a different path, learning swordsmanship, absorbing its essence, and forging his own path.

A knife with simpler variations and more powerful strikes!

It is no exaggeration to say that the swordsmanship he created is no less than the sword techniques passed down by Xu Xing and others.

Moreover, his insights into cultivation also brought Xu Xing a lot of benefits.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had traversed the entire settlement and arrived at its exit.

People practicing swordsmanship and knife skills all around looked over, quite curious.

Some of the older people even had a strange gleam in their eyes.

No one knew better than them how this settlement was established.

I just didn't expect...

I hope to see one of them again in my lifetime.

"Big brother!"

A burly man walked over, his muscles bulging like a coiled python.

His features were as if carved by a knife, strong and resolute.

Feng's younger brother, Mo, is now the leader of this settlement.

He strode up to the group.

"Sister-in-law."

Mengxuan: "..."

To be honest, she hates that nickname!
Mo seemed oblivious to Mengxuan's unusual behavior, and then looked at Xu Xing. "Brother Xu, are you leaving already?"

"Yes, thank you all for taking care of me during this time."

Xu Xing glanced at the group of people, then looked past them at the vibrant settlement.

Apart from the initial settlement.

None of the settlements they encountered afterward had monopolized the cultivation method, and this one was developing exceptionally well.

Whether it's the Feng and Mo brothers, or Mengxuan and the other two people in the settlement who have reached the peak of the Divine Forging stage, they only need to cultivate the "Divine Refining Method" for a while longer before they can begin to break through to the Yangwu stage.

Farewell!

With a respectful bow, Xu Xing transformed into a beam of sword light.

In just a few breaths, it disappeared into the distant sky.

The three of them, along with the others in the settlement, watched in the direction Xu Xing had left.

"..." After a moment of contemplation, Mo looked at Feng, "Big brother, what are you planning to do next? Are you still going to leave?"

The original purpose of my travels was to seek ways to improve myself and make a living.

This goal has now been achieved in an unexpected way...

Does that mean we don't need to go out?

Mengxuan realized this as well and looked at Feng.

"Let's wait until we advance to the Yangwu realm and reach that level." Feng gazed at the horizon. "Just like Brother Xu said, some things always have to be done by someone."

He was delighted to have met Xu Xing during his travels.

At the very least, this shows that they are not the only ones in the world working hard for something.

There are even more people.

They are already at the forefront, striving for a new path and a more peaceful future.

……

……

after a while.

Ancient boundary.

A faint, almost imperceptible sword light appeared and quietly entered the celestial realm.

After traveling a distance, the sword light suddenly stopped and plunged downwards into the dense forest.

Chengyue Mountain Range.

Legend has it that this mountain range contained a stone embryo a thousand years ago.

The stone embryo had eight orifices, and on the day it broke out of its shell, it caused endless moonlight to fall from the sky.

Born from the moonlight, a holy spirit immediately caught the attention of the ancestral heaven, who bestowed upon him the Seven Marks Heavenly Decree, allowing him to enter the Academy of Myriad Races for cultivation.

He has now reached the peak of the Void Transformation Realm, and is only one step away from becoming a Dao Integration Realm expert.

This mountain range got its name from this.

But perhaps on the day the Holy Spirit was born, the excessive moonlight damaged the earth's veins.

As a result, the spiritual energy of the Chengyue Mountains became scarce.

Apart from a few weak groups inhabiting this place, powerful beings rarely come here.

At this moment, in the middle section of the Chengyue Mountains, halfway up a mountain.

Whew!

An invisible sword light descended, and the small, crystalline blue flowers in the forest were instantly bent by the scattered air currents.

The surrounding wild animals were also frightened and scattered.

Within that invisible sword light was a figure in black carrying a long sword.

He was looking at the jade token in his hand, which had nine colored engravings.

"The supreme power of the Azure Ancestor..."

Xu Xing frowned.

This Heavenly Decree is almost identical to the one in Hong's hand, the only difference being that it has two more engravings.

It suddenly appeared in front of him the instant he crossed the boundary and entered the Heavenly Realm.

This means that the Azure Ancestral Heaven discovered him the moment he entered the Heavenly Realm, saw through his foundational magic power, and felt that he was valuable and worthy of the Nine-Trace Heavenly Decree.

It should be known that, apart from the relatively small Eastern Wilderness Domain, the other six domains of the Tai Xuan Realm are all vast and boundless, inhabited by hundreds of millions of beings.

The Ancestor of Azure was able to accurately locate each one and assess their potential in real time.

Such great power...

No wonder Hong said before that if the Azure Ancestor Heaven wanted to do something, they wouldn't be able to escape.

With a shifting expression, Xu Xing suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and hung the Heavenly Decree on his waist.

First go...

Find Hong.

Thinking this, he transformed into a sword light once more and headed into the distance.

at the same time.

High up, behind the sky.

Its crystal-clear, seven-colored eyes reflected the myriad living beings and endless landscapes of the heavens.

The invisible sword light that rose up was naturally also under His observation.

"Is it true that innate... there is indeed one less possibility compared to acquired?"

In terms of the solidity of its foundation.

Even the most outstanding beings born naturally by the creation of heaven and earth cannot compare to those born after birth.

Just like Xiaoyue, a member of the Xiaoyue Demon Wolf clan under Tai's command.

Now at the Tongxuan level, his foundation is even stronger than that of Huang, the strongest cultivator of the Phoenix clan, who is also at the Tongxuan level.

And then there are these few humans who are currently very weak, only at the Yangwu Realm.

Let's not even talk about that state called Foundation Building.

Even if there were problems during the promotion, Xu Xing, who directly jumped from the peak of the God-Forging Realm to the peak of the Nourishing Realm, still has more potential than the strongest innate holy spirit in the same realm.

"Let's wait and see..."

He had enough time to plan and experiment.

In the darkness, a special 'anchor' or 'seed', pure and illusory, almost formless and intangible, landed on Xu Xing.

This 'anchor' serves as the starting point.

He could then seize Xu Xing's essence the moment he attained immortality and completely break free from the limitations of the Tai Xuan Realm.

however……

He did not notice.

A deeper, more profound power, existing within the vast universe, silently erased the 'anchor' He had planted! (End of Chapter)
