Chapter 115 Breaking the Formation
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Mo Yan's expression changed. The strength of Gu Jinxue who suddenly appeared in front of him was beyond his imagination. He was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back. However, he could hold on with the help of the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

He did not take Chen Xuan, who only had the foundation-building cultivation level, seriously. He thought that Chen Xuan was just an ant who relied on external objects to kill the golden elixir. How could he pose a threat to him?

But at this moment his heart was shaken. He didn't expect that even Gu Jinxue would place her hopes on Chen Xuan.

He couldn't help but look towards the direction where Chen Xuan was, wondering what methods Chen Xuan would use.

Chen Xuan noticed the gazes cast at him from behind. He smiled calmly and looked around:

"The so-called evil spirits are nothing more than a means of controlling souls with dark energy. As for the attainments in the soul, even if you are in the Nascent Soul stage, you cannot compare with me!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan first practiced the Soul Refining Technique to the Netherworld. Immediately, thousands of souls let out shrill screams and were sucked towards where Chen Xuan was.

Chen Xuan restrained those souls at his brows and completely refined them in an instant.

Then, he inserted the Soul Refining Flag in his hand into the void, and endless black mist poured out from the Soul Refining Flag, turning into pitch-black chains.

At this moment, the only sound in the darkness was the rattling of chains.

Countless chains intertwined and flew out, accurately piercing into the bodies of evil spirits. No matter how they screamed and struggled, they could only be slowly pulled into the soul refining flag in the end.

Chen Xuan looked towards where Mo Yan was and said with a smile:

"In the previous battle with Luoxia Sect, all the souls below the Golden Core stage were consumed. I didn't expect that not long after, you would send so many to make up for the shortfall."

Feeling that the evil ghosts in the Netherworld were escaping his control and their numbers were decreasing rapidly, Mo Yan's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

He looked at Chen Xuan and said with gritted teeth:
"Little Chen Xuan, I will fight you to the death!"

Thousands of evil spirits were taken away by Chen Xuan. Although the underworld ghost realm has not collapsed at this moment, it is only a facade and has lost all its power.

Chen Xuan and Gu Jinxue in the ghost den were not affected by the dark energy, so he no longer focused on maintaining the ghost den and took it back in an instant.

Gu Jinxue is worthy of being a peerless genius. When she first entered the Nascent Soul stage, her combat power was able to crush Mo Yan. For a while, Mo Yan was defeated under her offensive.

"Hmph, the blood sacrifice formation has already begun. Even if I take back the ghost den, the creatures in your Qianzhou City will not be able to escape death!"

After saying that, Mo Yan gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly froze in place. A fist-sized black ball of light emerged from between his eyebrows and flew away in one direction.

At this moment, a cup of tea had passed since the war started.

Chen Xuan was calm and looked at Gu Jinxue, who had a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry. Since I've proposed a deal, I will break this blood sacrifice formation myself. However, the prerequisite is that you can capture that person's Nascent Soul as agreed and provide it for me to form a Core. Otherwise, there's no deal."

After hearing this, Gu Jinxue looked at Chen Xuan deeply and said with a cold expression:

"You better keep your word!"

After saying this, he was dressed in fluttering white clothes, and his figure was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. He quickly chased in the direction where Mo Yan's Nascent Soul fled, leaving only a gust of fragrant wind circling in the air.

Chen Xuan stared at his departing figure in a daze for a while, until he became a white dot in the sky, and then he slowly came back to his senses.

Although Chen Xuan is not interested in beauty, he is now at an age when his emotions are rich. Seeing such a charming woman, it is inevitable that his heart will be a little turbulent.

But soon, Chen Xuan calmed down and silently practiced the Soul Refining Technique. The soul shadows in the city were dragged over by him and refined and absorbed one after another.

The blood sacrifice formation has been activated, and a dark red light curtain covers the entire Qianzhou City. People die in the city all the time, and their corpses turn into a pool of blood and merge into the ground, and their souls are refined by Chen Xuan.

The entire Qianzhou City became extremely noisy, with blood everywhere in the city, and people, whether mortals or cultivators, all fled in all directions.

Some monks wanted to fly away from the city, but when they were in mid-air, they were suddenly attacked by an inexplicable energy and their lives were completely wiped out.

Endless fear and despair spread in Qianzhou City.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged in the void outside the city, watching the scene quietly.

He had an indifferent expression and turned a deaf ear to the screams for help from below. He just silently refined souls one by one, and his cultivation level was rising steadily.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh foundation-building levels...

After reaching the seventh level of foundation building, the growth rate of his aura became extremely slow, but Chen Xuan was not in a hurry. This was a normal manifestation of reaching a bottleneck in cultivation.

Every bottleneck on the path of cultivation may permanently trap a cultivator in his current realm, making him unable to make any further progress throughout his life.

Chen Xuan silently took out a foundation-building pill and swallowed it. The foundation-building pill is a pill that helps foundation-building cultivators break through bottlenecks, and can greatly increase the chances of cultivators breaking through bottlenecks.

In fact, there is a bottleneck in the Qi training stage. There is a bottleneck when advancing from the sixth level to the eighth level. But Chen Xuan at that time was an infinite immortal. The terrifying thing about infinite immortals is that no matter what level they reach, there will be no bottleneck.

Therefore, whether Chen Xuan was breaking through from the middle stage to the late stage of Qi training, or from the early stage to the middle stage of foundation building, he did not use elixirs to assist in breaking through. He just broke through as a matter of course when his cultivation level reached that level.

After taking a foundation-building pill, Chen Xuan continued to absorb the dark energy emanating from the portal behind his body and the spiritual energy that already existed between heaven and earth.

Sure enough, the speed of cultivation growth has increased significantly.

A moment later, with a slight "pop" sound coming from his body, Chen Xuan successfully entered the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Period. From this moment to the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Period, there will be no bottlenecks.

However, Chen Xuan had a vague feeling that he possessed infinite immortal resources when he was at the ninth level of the Qi training period, so he was able to sense the existence of the tenth level of the Qi training period.

But now that he has lost this incredible physique, if there is a tenth level in the foundation-building period, will he still be able to sense it?

Chen Xuan once asked Zhu Yin about the tenth level of the Qi training period, but Zhu Yin said that he had never heard of it. So Chen Xuan guessed that this tenth level should be a realm unique to those with infinite immortal talent.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan silently turned his head to look at the direction where Gu Jinxue left, and said to himself in his heart:
"The Yao Chi Immortal Body is almost as famous as the Infinite Immortal Talent. I wonder if Gu Jinxue has ever sensed the existence of the tenth level?
If that's the case, I'll have to ask for advice after she returns."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan looked at the city below with a wry smile. He had refined all the souls in her city. Putting aside the deal between the two, he had completely offended this proud girl of heaven. Even if Gu Jinxue knew, she would probably not tell him!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan was stunned, and then he stopped practicing the Soul Refining Technique. Immediately, dozens of souls that were pulled towards Chen Xuan felt their bodies loosen, as if they were freed from their restraints, and fled away in a hurry, trying to escape from the demon in front of them.

Chen Xuan smiled without commenting. Before he became a demon, he was slandered as a demon cultivator and was called upon to be beaten and killed every day.

Now that he has truly been possessed by the devil, it's quite ridiculous that those who should have been shouting for his death are avoiding him as if he were a snake or scorpion.

"Zhu Yin, come out and work."

Chen Xuan had an idea and summoned Zhu Yin from the Ten Thousand Demons Pool. He finally decided not to let the blood sacrifice formation continue. Even if Gu Jinxue failed to retrieve Mo Yan's Nascent Soul, it didn't matter. He could just consider it as a good relationship.

After all, I will need help from others next time, so I have to show some sincerity.

Along with Zhu Yin, there was also a huge magic circle. The circle was engraved with dense and complex runes, which made people feel dizzy and as if they were about to get lost in it at first glance.

Chen Xuan originally wanted to let Zhu Yin carve a magic array to snatch the final energy of the blood sacrifice array, but he did not expect that the Nascent Soul cultivator behind him would actually take action.

In desperation, Chen Xuan had to change his mind and go to discuss with the Lord of Qianzhou City, and at the same time tell him everything about the blood sacrifice formation.

So after finishing the discussion with Gu Jinxue, Chen Xuan asked Zhu Yin to change the half-carved sacrificial formation into a sacrificial-breaking formation.

Fortunately, this operation was not difficult for Zhu Yin. Moreover, changing the sacrificial formation to breaking the sacrificial formation could save Zhu Yin a lot of trouble, so he readily agreed.

At this moment, Chen Xuan can use the blood sacrifice formation to break the blood sacrifice formation that covers Qianzhou City at any time. The reason why he didn't take action is that he was just waiting for Gu Jinxue.

According to the agreement, Chen Xuan does not have to break the formation for Qianzhou City until Gu Jinxue obtains the Nascent Soul.

Because only in this way can Chen Xuan ensure that his interests will not be lost. Regardless of whether Gu Jinxue can obtain Mo Yan's Nascent Soul, he can obtain enough Nether Qi from it to support himself to enter the Golden Core Stage.

Just as Chen Xuan ordered Zhu Yin to start breaking the formation, a white light appeared in the distance. As time passed, the light quickly grew larger and turned into a human figure.

Gu Jinxue held a pitch-black Nascent Soul in her palm. At this moment, the consciousness in the Nascent Soul had been erased by her, and there was no struggle or resistance at all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan nodded secretly. He had a deeper understanding of Gu Jinxue's strength and a trace of fear appeared in his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Yin flew into the air and threw the formation diagram he had drawn in advance into the sky.

After the formation diagram was thrown out, it expanded rapidly and covered an area of ​​a thousand miles in a flash, enveloping the entire Qianzhou City and even the blood sacrifice formation on it.

Immediately afterwards, runes within the formation began to flow, gradually converging into the barrier formed by the blood sacrifice formation, colliding with the original patterns of the blood sacrifice formation.

Under the impact of the former, the array patterns in the blood sacrifice array were quickly torn apart, and cracks spread from the barriers of the blood sacrifice array.

"Kakaka!"

With a crisp sound, the entire blood sacrifice formation was instantly shattered, and even the formation patterns buried deep underground collapsed, leaving no trace.

At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Cult members who were originally guarding the center of the formation below all showed expressions of fear on their faces. They exuded a cold aura and looked at Chen Xuan with resentment.

Chen Xuan just glanced at them lightly, then stopped paying attention to them and turned his gaze to Gu Jinxue who was flying back not far away.

Even though they were very far apart, Gu Jinxue threw the Nascent Soul in her hand towards Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan caught it, and after feeling the surging dark energy in it, he put it into the Ten Thousand Demons Pool.

Then he looked at Gu Jinxue and said with a smile:
"I wonder if City Lord Gu would be willing to invite me to his house?"
