Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 188 Obtaining the Heavenly Book, Cultivation Level Soars

When Bi Yao saw Zhang Xiaofan agreed, a smile spread across her beautiful face.

At this time, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird beside them saw this and immediately clasped their fists and saluted, saying:

"Thank you, lord, for finding a good son-in-law."

“Haha…hahaha…” Seeing this, the Ghost King laughed happily a few times.

Zhang Xiaofan has reached the third level of Shangqing at such a young age, and his swordsmanship is unfathomable. He has only seen such exquisite swordsmanship in one person, and that is Wan Jianyi, who was once famous as the number one swordsman in the world.

With Zhang Xiaofan's help, his ambition to unify the entire Holy Church in the future will be greatly facilitated.

After laughing a few times, the Ghost King took out a scroll from his arms, carefully placed it in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, and said:

"Now that you are my son-in-law, I will pass on the second volume of the heavenly book that I own to you."

"You and Bi Yao obtained the outline of the Heavenly Book in the Bleeding Cave. With the second volume of the Heavenly Book, your strength will improve by leaps and bounds. Given time, with your talent, in about fifty years, I'm afraid even I won't be your opponent."

Although the Ghost King said so, he thought in his heart, I have the Fulong Ding and the Four Spirits Blood Formation.

As long as he gathers all the four spirits, he will be able to break through the Taiqing realm and gain the power of Shura. By then, no one in the entire cultivation world will be his opponent.

For a man like him who has great ambitions and is extremely suspicious, even if Zhang Xiaofan is his son-in-law, he would still worry that Zhang Xiaofan would surpass him in strength in the future and replace him.

Therefore, if he did not possess such a precious treasure as the Fulong Ding, he would definitely not pass the second volume of the Heavenly Book to Zhang Xiaofan.

After all, Zhang Xiaofan’s talent was so strong that he was really afraid that the other party would surpass him or even replace him in the future.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the scroll handed over by the Ghost King and thanked him quickly:

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Having said that, he took the heavenly book.

Then, he opened the Heavenly Book, took a quick look at it, and found that it was indeed the second volume of the Heavenly Book. He was overjoyed.

Seeing this, Bi Yao deliberately showed a jealous expression and said:

"Dad, you didn't even teach me this heavenly book, but now you have passed it on to Zhang Xiaofan. It seems that you have forgotten your daughter because you have a son-in-law."

"Haha..." The Ghost King laughed and said:
"As a girl, why would you need to have such a high level of cultivation? Fighting and killing all day is too dangerous. I lost your mother, and I cannot lose you again. You just need to marry Zhang Xiaofan and give birth to children for him."

"As for strength, Xiaofan and I are enough. We will definitely protect you for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao also understood her father's good intentions.

At this time, the Ghost King took out a token from his arms and put it in Zhang Xiaofan's hand.

Zhang Xiaofan took the token and found the words "Deputy Sect Leader" engraved on it.

It seems that the Ghost King really trusts him at this moment and even passed the position of deputy sect leader to him.

After the Ghost King gave the token to Zhang Xiaofan, he looked at the thousands of Ghost King Sect disciples in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"From now on, Zhang Xiaofan will be the deputy leader of my Ghost King Sect. Seeing him is like seeing me!"

Upon hearing this, thousands of Ghost King Sect disciples all knelt on one knee towards Zhang Xiaofan and shouted in unison:
"Meet the deputy sect leader!"

Even Qinglong, Zhuque, Xuanwu, and Baihu put their right hands on their chests, bowed slightly, and said to Zhang Xiaofan:

"Meet the deputy sect leader!"

Zhang Xiaofan felt a little proud as he looked at the thousands of Ghost King Sect disciples kneeling on one knee.

Seeing this, the Ghost King looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said:

"Xiao Fan, are you satisfied with the dowry I gave to Bi Yao?"

"Satisfied!" Zhang Xiaofan said. The Ghost King put his hands behind his back, patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulders heavily, and said:

"After returning to the Ghost King Sect, you must practice diligently on the second volume of this Heavenly Book. In the future, help me unify the Holy Church, destroy the Qingyun Sect, and unify the entire world."

"Then the whole world will belong to you and me."

Having said this, the Ghost King took a deep look at Zhang Xiaofan and said:

"Moreover, even if I am lucky enough to break through the Taiqing realm in the future, my life span will only be 800 years at most. After a hundred years, I will pass it on to you in the end."

Zhang Xiaofan heard this and replied without any sadness or joy:
"Father-in-law, you are too kind. You have profound Taoism and will surely become an immortal in the future and live as long as the heavens."

"Immortal?" The Ghost King murmured, shook his head and said:
"Throughout the history of the world, no one has ever become an immortal, and there won't be one in the future. My lifelong ambition is to unify the entire Demon Sect, destroy the Qingyun Sect, and unify the entire world."

Having said that, the Ghost King looked at Zhang Xiaofan and reminded him:

"I know that you have extraordinary talent. You are the first person I have ever seen in my life. Even if you are at the Taiqing realm, you will definitely break through in the future."

"But becoming an immortal is absolutely impossible, so you should not aim too high. Just help me unify the world."

Is it?

Zhang Xiaofan didn't say anything, thinking to himself:

Becoming an immortal is absolutely impossible for you, but I, Zhang Xiaofan, have ten times the talent, and have laid a solid foundation since the beginning of my cultivation.

Next, with his ten times talent, he only needs to obtain all five volumes of the Heavenly Book to have a great chance of becoming an immortal.

What he wants is not to unify the whole world.

What he wanted from the beginning to the end was to become an immortal and protect the people he cared about.

As long as he becomes an immortal, he will have the power to crush both the righteous and the evil. No matter whether they are on the righteous path or the evil path, they will submit to him as a true immortal!
The Ghost King looked at Zhang Xiaofan's reaction and knew that the other party did not listen and was still obsessed with becoming an immortal.

However, this is also good, Zhang Xiaofan only wants to become an immortal, and has no interest in dominating the world. Then, he will be more relieved.

Otherwise, he would still be wary of Zhang Xiaofan, after all, his talent is so good.

Then, the Ghost King looked at Qinglong and said:

"Give the order and return to the Ghost King Sect!"

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away...

night!
Fox Mountain!
The headquarters of the Ghost King Sect was established in Fox Mountain three hundred years ago, and a cave was opened in Fox Mountain.

The cave covers a vast area and is very complex.

In the cave, in a stone chamber!

Zhang Xiaofan sat on the wooden bed, looking at the second volume of the heavenly book in his hand, examining it carefully.

An hour later, Zhang Xiaofan finished reading the second volume of the Heavenly Book. After gaining a general understanding of it, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to practice.

As he practiced, a green light appeared outside his body, surrounded by golden light, and mysterious golden runes were rotating.

As he practiced, Zhang Xiaofan sometimes frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and sometimes smiled, as if he had realized something...

Just like that, after practicing for four hours, a green and golden light flashed outside Zhang Xiaofan's body, the mysterious golden rune rotated rapidly, and his aura surged...

The next moment, a powerful pressure filled the entire stone chamber.

Then, Zhang Xiaofan slowly ended his practice. The azure golden light and mysterious golden runes outside his body converged into his body. He slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:
"It is indeed a heavenly book. With only a preliminary understanding and the first practice, I have broken through to the fourth level of Shangqing!"
