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

Just as Yan Hui was on the verge of death in despair, a familiar voice rang out:

"The afterlife is unreliable; this life is more reliable!"

"Deputy Sect Leader!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hui opened his eyes, which had been almost closed, instantly, but before him were still countless eerie spirits.

"Ha ha……"

Yan Hui gave a self-deprecating laugh and muttered weakly:

"It seems I'm about to die; I'm already hallucinating."

Just then, a terrifying aura descended.

The next moment, Yan Hui saw that the densely packed Yin spirits around him instantly turned into dust.

At the same time, a familiar figure appeared before him.

He was dressed in a black robe, tall and imposing, with a blood-red demonic mark on his forehead, an extremely handsome face, and long, flowing blood-red hair.

Upon seeing this, Yan Hui's terrified and ferocious face instantly brightened with joy, and he laughed:

"Deputy Sect Leader!"

Then, if the body is exhausted and has lost most of its blood, it will collapse to the ground the moment it relaxes.

Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward, came to Yan Hui's side, and helped him up.

Looking at Yan Hui's pale, bloodless face and his body covered in wounds, he waved his hand.

The next moment, Yan Hui felt a mysterious power sweep over his entire body, his blood rapidly recovered, and the numerous wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just two breaths, Yan Hui felt his body full of power, and all the dense wounds on his body were completely healed.

Suddenly, Yan Hui's eyes widened, because he discovered that under that mysterious power, he had broken through the peak of Jade Purity and reached the Upper Purity Realm.

"hiss!"

Yan Hui gasped. He hadn't expected that with just a wave of his hand, the Vice Sect Master would not only fully revive him but also allow him to break through to the Shangqing Realm, a coveted achievement in the cultivation world.

It should be noted that even the Qingyun Sect, the leader of the righteous path, only has about twenty cultivators at the Shangqing realm.

These twenty-odd cultivators at the Shangqing realm have already firmly established the Qingyun Sect as the leader of the righteous path.

It is easy to imagine how powerful and difficult it is to break through the Shangqing realm.

Yan Hui immediately knelt on the ground, his expression one of excitement and respect, and said:
"Your subordinate Yan Hui thanks you, Vice Sect Master!"

"Get up!" Zhang Xiaofan said, and Yan Hui felt an invisible force lift him up to his feet.

Yan Hui stood up, looked at Zhang Xiaofan respectfully, and asked:

"Vice Sect Master, may I ask how you came to the Blood Refining Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan looked towards the depths of the Abyss of the Dead. He saw a huge shadow lying on the ground ten thousand meters away, closing its eyes to cultivate.

"I came here to kill the Blackwater Serpent. By the way, don't call me Vice Sect Master anymore. Adding 'Vice' sounds weird. Just call me Sect Master."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Although Yan Hui did not know why the Ghost Emperor asked him to address the Sect Master, since the Sect Master was still alive, it would be presumptuous for him to address the Ghost Emperor as the Vice Sect Master.

However, he didn't care about all that; as long as the Ghost Emperor told him to call him, he would call him Sect Master.

Thinking of who the sect leader would kill to choose the color for, Yan Hui's face panicked, and he said:
"Sect Master, that Black Water Serpent is an ancient mythical beast with astonishing power. Even someone at the Taiqing Realm might not be a match for it. Please be extremely careful."

Zhang Xiaofan glanced at Yan Hui and, seeing his panicked expression, said:
"It seems you're scared. If you are, you can leave now, and I'll go find the Blackwater Serpent alone."

Upon hearing this, Yan Hui replied without the slightest hesitation:
"Although Yan Hui is afraid of the Blackwater Serpent, since the sect leader is going to kill it, Yan Hui will not leave alone. Yan Hui will go with the sect leader to kill the Blackwater Serpent and can also do his part for the sect leader."

"Okay, let's go!"

After Zhang Xiaofan finished speaking, he strode forward. Yan Hui followed behind him with a determined look, glancing around warily from time to time.

Logically speaking, he has already broken through to the Shangqing realm, and if he were to leave now, he could live a very good life.

After all, the Shangqing realm is considered an upper-middle level of power in any faction.

He could even establish his own sect or hide in the cultivation world, living a carefree life.

However, the sect leader had shown him immense kindness, having previously imparted cultivation experience to him and just now saved his life.

Therefore, even knowing that the sect leader was going to kill the Black Water Serpent, which was completely invincible to human power, they still went with him without hesitation.

Knowing full well that there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den.

In the silent Abyss of the Dead, the footsteps of Zhang Xiaofan and Yan Hui could be heard.

Zhang Xiaofan walked ahead, thinking of Yan Hui who followed him steadfastly behind him, and thought to himself that Yan Hui was a loyal and good subordinate.

That's why I shared my cultivation experience with him before, and just now I saved him and helped him break through to the Shangqing realm.

Zhang Xiaofan is like that; he will definitely treat those who are good to him or those he finds pleasing to the eye well.

If you treat him badly, oppose him, or dislike him, then death is the only option.

As Zhang Xiaofan walked, he discovered a dead demon tree ahead.

The demon tree was dark red all over and was now in a terrible state. But because it was a demon tree, even after twelve years, the remaining part of the tree was still completely undamaged.

Yan Hui looked at the dilapidated demon tree and said:
"Sect Master, although this demon tree is dilapidated, its body is exceptionally hard and can be used to forge a good magic weapon."

"Who could have cut down such a powerful demon tree like this?"

“It’s me!” Zhang Xiaofan said calmly.

Yan Hui: "..."

Yan Hui immediately bowed and said:
"Sect Master, your subordinates shouldn't have spoken out of turn."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand and said:
"You know my personality, I'm not that difficult to get along with, and I don't care about these things, so it's fine."

The two continued walking forward. Yan Hui noticed that the area ahead was littered with boulders, a scene reminiscent of a scene ravaged by a giant beast. He said:
"Sect Master, this place must have been visited by the Black Water Serpent before, otherwise it would not have been able to cause such great damage."

"Who is it that has provoked the Blackwater Serpent, which has lived for tens of thousands of years, to such an anger?"

"Ahem!" Zhang Xiaofan coughed lightly twice, without answering.

Upon hearing this, Yan Hui seemed to recall something and asked:

"Sect Master, could it be that you provoked the Blackwater Serpent again, causing it to wreak havoc here?"

"Yes, it's me too," Zhang Xiaofan said calmly.

"Hiss!" Yan Hui gasped, thinking to himself that the sect leader was truly brave back then.

After all, the sect leader had just left the Qingyun Sect at that time, and was only sixteen years old. He dared to provoke the Black Water Serpent. He was really incredibly bold.

Moreover, it was even able to escape unscathed from the terrifying Blackwater Serpent.

Zhang Xiaofan walked in front, and Yan Hui followed behind. The two walked for a while longer.

At this moment, Yan Hui saw a colossal creature, as large as a mountain peak, lying on the ground ahead.

Its enormous body, covered in scales that gleamed with a cold light, no longer revealed the terrifying nature of this ancient behemoth.

Suddenly, the giant beast opened its eyes, its vertical pupils staring at Zhang Xiaofan and Yan Hui.

Yan Hui was startled, and her whole body stiffened... (End of Chapter)
