Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 287 "Fire-Swallowing Toad" Demon Core, Azure Wolf Provokes (Bonus chapter for monthly votes tonight!)

The seats in the main hall were arranged according to the closeness of kinship and the strength of power.

Xu Chuan was positioned just below True Lord Lieyang, with True Lord Qingmu sitting opposite him.

This shows how much the Tianling Sect values ​​Xu Chuan.

But that's understandable, since the one sitting in the sect leader's seat is a member of the Xu family!
Qingmu Zhenjun secretly investigated Xu Deling, but found that his divine sense was blocked by a force, making it impossible to investigate.

But he could vaguely guess that Xu Deling must have broken through to the Golden Core stage.

"When and where did you form your core?"

"Why haven't any Core Formation phenomena occurred?!"

He had doubts.

In previous years, the top group of people at the Tianjiao Conference broke through within three years, and some even broke through in just over a year.

As Xu Deling is the number one prodigy, it is only natural that True Monarch Qingmu would make such a guess.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and there are always exceptional talents who surpass others and are the first to achieve the Core Formation stage.

The artifact that isolates divine sense that Xu Deling wears was naturally crafted by Xu Mingxian. It was obtained from the restriction on the sandalwood box that he had acquired from Xu Chuan in Xuan Yue City.

It was applied to forbidden artifacts.

As long as she conceals her aura and cultivation level, and Golden Core cultivators cannot forcibly probe her with their divine sense, they naturally cannot see through Xu Deling's cultivation level.

"Sect Leader of Phoenix Feather, you seem to possess a magical artifact that blocks divine sense from prying your eyes. It's incredibly mysterious. Where did you obtain it?"

Xu Deling smiled faintly, "I found it by chance at a small stall in Xuan Yue City."

"I see. That 'Phoenix Feather' Sect Master is truly blessed with incredible luck. I wonder if you have broken through to the Golden Core stage yet?"

Many Golden Core cultivators looked over, showing great interest in the topic.

"You all seem so concerned about our sect leader's cultivation level. Could it be that you intend to sell this information to a rival force of our Heavenly Forging Sect?"

"how come?"

"Don't dare."

True Lord Lieyang looked at True Lord Qingmu, who smiled faintly, "I was just curious. No matter how fast Xi Tianqing of my sect comprehends, it is impossible for him to complete the formation of the Divine Core within a few years."

Even the last one or two steps are uncertain, whether they can be completed at all.

After all, my Tiancang Sect hasn't produced a genius who has reached the Core Formation stage in hundreds of years.

Fellow Daoist Kurong is the first in Tiancang Prefecture in recent years!

"Haha." Xu Chuan clasped his hands and said when he saw that he was being called out, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu is too kind. I believe that Fellow Daoist Xi of your sect still has a chance to achieve the Divine Power Core Formation."

"Then I accept Fellow Daoist Kurong's kind words."

This topic was quickly moved on.

After the founding ceremony, a group of Golden Core cultivators ate and drank, trying to become familiar with each other and show that the Heavenly Feather Sect was now a member of the Heavenly Azure Palace.

Two or three hours.

The banquet was almost over.

Taking advantage of Qingmu Zhenjun's presence, Xu Chuan seized the opportunity to bring up the conditions promised by Elder Chiyang that day, wanting a talisman inheritance of level three or higher.

True Monarch Qingmu stated frankly that the highest level of the Heavenly Cang Sect's talisman inheritance was only the middle grade of the third rank, and that it could only give the Xu family the highest grade of the lower grade of the third rank.

Xu Chuan naturally didn't mind.

This legacy is enough for Xu Mingyuan to comprehend for decades.

Soon, the various forces departed one after another, and the ceremony was quickly left with only a few Golden Core cultivators from the Tianling Sect and Xu Chuan.

"These kinds of banquets are the most boring. Don't let me attend them again in the future."

Yan Zhenzhenjun had a rather eccentric temper; he waved his hand and left.

Xu Chuan then discussed the future business of magical artifacts for Tiancang Mansion with Rong Tianyang.

Now that the Xu family has become a family specializing in Golden Core cultivation, it is naturally inappropriate for them to keep all their businesses confined to Yunxi Town.

Each of the seven cities in Tiancang is more than ten times larger than Yunxi Town, and the business opportunities they contain are naturally limitless.

The Xu family tries to avoid conflict with the Tianling Sect.

In terms of weapon crafting, the Xu family's weapon crafting hall, supported by True Person Huoyun and his five disciples, is not far behind the Tianling Sect.

Moreover, there's also Xu Deling.

The Heavenly Feather Sect does not require Xu Deling to specially craft artifacts for them. The magical artifacts that Xu Deling crafts in his daily experiments with new ideas are also sent to the Xu family for processing.

Among them are some powerful and unique one-pattern and two-pattern magical artifacts.

Like a magical artifact!
Xu Deling even crafted several three-patterned magic artifacts as the treasures of the Xu family's Ascension Pavilion.

Because the Xu family and Tianling Sect's magical artifacts entered Tiancang Seven Cities, many shops selling magical artifacts closed down.

After all, they cannot compare in terms of either the quality or quantity of their magical artifacts; only a few are still barely managing to keep up.

The Heavenly Feather Sect has a Golden Core Perfection True Monarch, making it a top Golden Core force in the Heavenly Cang Prefecture. Naturally, the Golden Core families behind these shops wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

The Xu family itself has a close relationship with the Tianling Sect, and Xu Chuan is the first True Monarch in Tiancang Prefecture in hundreds of years to achieve the Core Formation, making him a renowned figure.

If it were the Xu family back when they were a Foundation Establishment family, they might have tried to trip them up or even threatened them.

I absolutely wouldn't dare now.

It's not worth going against the Xu family over this small business of weapon crafting.

Two months later.

Two Golden Core cultivators from the Lei family visited Xu Chuan in Yunxi Town.

One of them was an old man with white hair and beard, in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, whose lifespan was already quite long, at least over five hundred years.

The other one was middle-aged, in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and around two hundred years old.

"I am Lei Yongshan, and I have met True Lord Ku Rong. This is my grandson, Lei Yunpeng."

The old man clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

Lei Yunpeng also bowed slightly.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. May I ask what brings you to my Xu family?"

Lei Yongshan didn't speak, but instead took out two pale yellow wooden boxes from his storage bag and handed them to Xu Chuan.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, what is the meaning of this?"

"In the wooden box on the left is an ancient method of the withering and flourishing supernatural power called the 'Great Seal of Withering and Flourishing,' which my Lei family accidentally collected."

The head of the Xu family uses "withering and flourishing" as his title, which suggests that he has grasped the true meaning of withering and flourishing.

No one in my Lei family can cultivate this divine ability, so I am gifting it to you, fellow Daoist, to prevent this precious gem from being tarnished.

Xu Chuan was slightly surprised, as this was the first time he had heard of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Power.

Such special supernatural abilities and techniques are not necessarily collected even by Nascent Soul cultivators; they all come from ancient secret realms or ancient cave dwellings.

Xu Chuan tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, making a "thump thump thump" sound, but did not say anything to accept the gift.

Lei Yongshan continued, "The wooden box on the right contains the demon core of a third-tier peak demon beast, the Fire-Swallowing Toad, and a portion of its essence blood."

The "Fire-Swallowing Toad" contains the bloodline of an ancient demon beast and can devour countless flames, making it an extremely rare demon beast.

Its demon core contains the essence of all fires, making it an excellent aid in cultivating fire-based supernatural abilities. However, it requires the addition of its own blood essence to remove the fire poison within the demon core.

The secret method for removing it is also included.

Please have Master Xu deliver this wooden box to Fairy Phoenix Feather.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, you've suddenly presented us with two such generous gifts. Deling and I can hardly accept them. Let's get straight to the point."

"I would like to ask Patriarch Xu for help in having Fairy Phoenix Feather introduce me to True Lord Yan Zhen. I would like to ask True Lord Yan Zhen to refine a superior magic weapon that suits my grandson."

As for the reward for getting Yan Zhenzhen to do the job, I will prepare it separately.

If True Lord Yan Zhen refuses, then let it be.

"For mere introduction, Fellow Daoist Lei is so generous. As expected of one of the two top Golden Core families in Tiancang Prefecture, I, Xu, will accept."

These two gifts were quite useful to both Xu Chuan and Xu Deling.

If the Lei family can successfully negotiate the deal for a high-grade magic weapon, they will certainly not lose out. However, if they fail to reach an agreement, their losses could be substantial.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu. This is my jade token. Once you have news, just inject your magic power to activate it, and I will sense it and come here."

Xu Chuan nodded.

"Then we won't bother you any longer, goodbye."

The two left quickly.

The next day, Xu Chuan deduced Lei Yunpeng's situation and discovered that he was a rare lightning-attribute spirit.

Lightning-type natal magic weapons are difficult to refine, and other magic weapons are hard to match with oneself. It seems that Lei Yunpeng has never had a suitable natal magic weapon.

Now that the Ling Sect has been established, Lei Yongshan plans to ask Yan Zhenzhen to refine a magic weapon.

However, ordinary Golden Core cultivators who come to the door cannot even see the face of True Lord Yan Zhen. The same goes for True Lord Lieyang and Xu Deling. At most, they can only see Rong Tianyang.

Left with no other choice, Lei Yongshan approached Xu Chuan, offering him a generous gift to act as his intermediary.

"Hmm, it seems that the Lei family is entangled with my Xu family by some causal thread, which is really strange."

But the daily dose has already been used up.

The matter seemed somewhat complicated. He felt that there would be problems with his divination using the "Minor Astrology" method, so he waited until the next day to deduce it again.

"So that's how it is!"

"The Lei family of the Great Wei Dynasty is actually a branch of the Lei family of Baiyun Mountain!"

"From this perspective, it must have been over a thousand years ago when a member of the Lei family was imprisoned but survived. Knowing there was no hope of leaving, they then developed a branch."

"Many of the families imprisoned here have lineages that are inextricably linked to forces in various parts of southern China or the Blackwater region."

"Perhaps Lei Yunpeng refined this natal magic weapon in preparation for the great battle twenty years later."

"Fine, I'll help you out then."

Immediately, Xu Chuan summoned Xu Deling and told him about the Lei family's affairs.

"Should we ask Senior Brother Yan Zhen to help us refine a high-grade magic weapon?"

"Since Grandfather wants my help, then I will agree. However, Senior Brother Yanzhen has a strange temper, so it's hard to say whether he will agree or not."

After a pause, Xu Deling continued, "Granddaughter is a little curious. Why would Grandfather help the Lei family, with whom he has no connection, just because of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Power and the Demon Core Essence?"

"These two items are valuable enough, and of course there is another reason: the Lei family of Baiyun Mountain is the main branch of the Lei family of Great Wei."

"What?!" Xu Deling was suddenly startled.

"Wouldn't that place of imprisonment be..."

"That area is too complicated, involving the clash between the Tiannan and Heishui regions, as well as the forces of the demon race. Who knows how many schemes are behind it?"

I had originally planned to wait until we survived this great calamity before starting a new era for the Xu family there.

But now it seems that after this great calamity, we should get out as soon as possible.

Focus on the southern part of the country.

With the Heavenly Azure Sect weakened and the Greedy Wolf Sect coveting its territory, my Xu family will surely have an opportunity to seize power, perhaps even rise to prominence and take control of a prefecture.

Xu Deling fell silent upon hearing this. "What about the others?"

"It depends on the situation. Perhaps every ten or several decades, we can select those with outstanding talent to smuggle out and train them. In the future, they can also become the help for my Xu family to overthrow this place."

Xu Deling nodded; perhaps this was the safest and most reliable method.

“Then, grandfather, I will accept this item.”

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and nodded.

Xu Deling returned to the Tianling Sect to visit Yan Zhenzhen and inform him about the Lei family's affairs.

"The Lei family of Baiyun Mountain? A top-tier Golden Core family?" After a brief pause, True Monarch Yan Zhen said, "Take out the things they gave you and let me see them."

Xu Deling took out a pale yellow wooden box.

Yan Zhen Shenjun swept his divine sense over it and said, "A peak third-tier demon core, and a rare one at that, the demon core of the 'Fire-Swallowing Toad.' This item will indeed be of great benefit to you, Junior Sister 'Phoenix Feather'."

Fine, senior brother, I'll grant you permission to meet the Lei family for your sake.

However, junior sister, please don't do that next time.

Since my Tianling Sect has settled here, it is only natural that we will refine magic weapons for the Golden Core stage cultivators of Tiancang Prefecture. However, I have my own ideas on how to do it.

If they think I, Yan Zhenzhenjun, am easy to talk to, they'll probably bother me every few days.

"Thank you, senior brother." Xu Deling clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

Yan Zhenzhen said, "Since you're here, don't rush to leave. Let the Lei family wait a bit. Besides, as the sect leader, you should stay in the sect for a while longer."
The cultivation environment here is definitely better than your Xu family's.

By the way, let's exchange ideas about the principles of weaponry.

"Yes, senior brother."

Yan Zhenzhenjun valued Xu Deling not only because she was the beloved disciple of the two Supreme Elders of the Tianzhu Sect, but also because her talent in weapon crafting truly impressed him.

In many cases, it can even inspire him and help him improve his skills in crafting.

Based on Xu Deling's progress in weapon crafting, he estimated that within a few decades, Xu Deling might catch up with his level of weapon crafting and reach the point where he could refine top-tier magic weapons.

Half a month later.

Xu Deling returned to the Xu family.

Xu Chuan then used the jade tablet artifact to notify Lei Yongshan.

Xu Deling had not returned for half a month, and Xu Chuan naturally guessed what Yan Zhenzhen meant.

As a top-tier weapon-refining master, he naturally had his own arrogance. Regardless of his strength, background, or weapon-refining skills, he was qualified to ignore the Lei family.

Lei Yongshan and Lei Yunpeng visited the Xu family again, and then followed Xu Deling to visit the Tianling Sect.

Xu Deling was also curious and wanted to see how the Lei family would win over Yan Zhenzhenjun.

As a result, the Lei family produced a top-tier fourth-order spiritual material containing spiritual energy.

To forge a spiritual treasure, one needs such rare spiritual materials.

If the forging is successful and the spiritual essence transforms into a spiritual barrier, then the spiritual treasure is complete and possesses immense power.

Top-tier magical treasures require cultivators to nurture them over a long period of time before they can develop spirituality and transform into spiritual treasures.

However, it is estimated that even a great cultivator would need to nurture himself for hundreds of years to have a one or two percent chance of success.

The reward from the Lei family did indeed make Yan Zhenzhen look at them with new respect. It was truly rare for a Golden Core family to be able to produce such materials.

The Heavenly Forging Sect has also been collecting spiritual materials for Elder Zhenyangzi to forge spiritual treasures.

However, spiritual treasures cannot be refined all at once; they require continuous refining and experimentation.

Therefore, the more of this type of material, the better.

When a magical treasure is successfully refined, some unusual phenomena will occur in the heavens and earth.

The stronger the magical treasure, the more terrifying the strange phenomena.

In the end, Yan Zhenzhen agreed.

This matter can be considered to have come to an end.

Xu Chuan's understanding of the "Great Seal of Withering and Flourishing" from the Lei family has been quite enlightening for him.

In particular, his final move, "Great Seal of Life and Death," transforms the meaning of decay and prosperity into life and death, giving Xu Chuan a general direction for the perfection of his supernatural powers.

[Withering and Flourishing, Birth and Death] Xu Chuan has already grasped the essence of withering and flourishing in his destiny, but birth and death are even more profound, containing the meaning of life and death, which still needs to be slowly comprehended. Time flies, and a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

Among the Wu clan, two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage emerged.

They are Wuzhu 3 and Wuzhu 7 respectively.

With conditions comparable to a third-tier spiritual vein for breaking through, and his own talent being quite good, plus the help of Xu Chuan's Jade Mushroom Pill, breaking through was a matter of course.

In the future, the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators born in the Xu family will only increase.

Several more Grandmasters have reached the Perfection level in the Yan clan.

Heart City.

Dengxian Pavilion.

The Xu family's Dengxian Pavilion is arguably the most popular shop in Xinsu City.

Its prized possession is the Heavenly King Spear, a magical weapon with three patterns, which has attracted many visitors.

The Yan family, the Tang family, and the Luo family all wanted to buy this magical artifact, but unfortunately the Xu family is not selling it for the time being.

With such a magical artifact, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has not comprehended the meaning of supernatural powers can still enter the Heavenly Pride Tournament and even win a ranking.

With Xu Deling's return, Huoyun Zhenren and his disciples joined the Refining Hall, and the Xu family became a Golden Core family, the number of top-tier magic weapons, one-pattern magic weapons, and two-pattern magic weapons in the Ascension Pavilion gradually increased.

In terms of elixirs, many rare elixirs such as Jade Mushroom Elixir and Divine Mind Elixir have appeared, and in considerable quantities, unlike in the past when it would take a long time to find one.

Due to the expansion, the industries in Yunxi Town alone can no longer fully sustain the business.

The Xu family then established trade routes and reached stable cooperative relationships with many herbal medicine shops and material shops.

It is currently only located in Xinshu City, but it will inevitably expand gradually in the future.

As for why they didn't choose the nearest city, Jiaoxiu City, it's because the Tianling Sect chose Jiaoxiu City.

There's no need for the Xu family to clash with them.

This day.

Two Qi Refining cultivators dressed in gray robes arrived.

"I've heard you have pills that can enhance the spiritual power of Qi Refining cultivators?" a burly young man asked.

"Fellow Daoist, are you referring to the Divine Mind Pill? This is unique to our Ascension Pavilion. It costs 150 spirit stones per pill, and each person can only purchase three."

After all, only the first three doses can enhance one's spiritual power.

"Let's try one. If it works well, my brother and I will buy a few more."

"No problem, someone bring me a Divine Sense Pill."

The burly young man handed over the spirit stone, and then gave the Divine Mind Pill to the thin, sinister young man beside him.

The two looked at each other.

The sinister young man swallowed the elixir.

A moment later, the young man suddenly turned pale, clutched his abdomen, and knelt on the ground, white spots beginning to appear on his skin.

"poisonous?!"

"You, the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, actually dared to give my brother poisonous pills!"

The burly young man glanced at the sinister-looking young man, wondering to himself, "He's acting pretty convincingly."

Then he patted his storage bag, and a battle sword appeared in his hand, ready to make a move.

Huang Tianba suddenly appeared, flicked his sleeve, and a domineering magical force swept the burly youth away, causing the sinister youth to fall outside the Ascension Pavilion.

The sinister young man's skin ulcerated within moments, and he lost all signs of life.

The burly young man suddenly coughed up blood. Upon seeing the sinister-looking youth, his pupils constricted. Just as he was about to speak, a sharp pain shot through his mind.

He fell silent immediately and collapsed.

"They're all dead?!" the surrounding people exclaimed in shock.

Huang Tianba frowned deeply. Although there was a significant gap between him and the burly youth, he only used one or two tenths of his strength and had not yet used any spells or magical artifacts. He only used the whirlwind created by his magical power to make an impact.

That wouldn't be enough to kill a burly young man who had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

As for the sinister young man, his death was even more astonishing, clearly indicating that he had ingested a highly poisonous elixir.

"Someone is trying to cause trouble for my Ascension Pavilion?!" Huang Tianba immediately took out a token and activated the Ascension Pavilion's strongest defense by forming a hand seal.

Normally, he would only activate a second-tier high-grade defense array, but this sudden incident made him uneasy, so he activated a third-tier low-grade defense array.

While the onlookers were still savoring the moment.

Suddenly.

A terrifying pressure from a Golden Core cultivator suddenly crashed down like a towering torrent, enveloping the Ascension Pavilion and the street in front of it.

The Ascension Pavilion activated its grand formation in time; although the pressure was strong, it did not affect the cultivators inside.

However, the cultivators on the streets outside were in a terrible state.

Those with weaker cultivation levels immediately collapsed to their knees with a series of "thumps," their foreheads pressed against the bluestone ground, unable to even lift their heads.

His spiritual energy was in complete disarray, like a kite with a broken string, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, one must grit their teeth and persevere, with legs slightly bent, face pale, and large beads of sweat constantly seeping from their forehead.

"Brother Huang, this is..."

Huang Tianba's expression was solemn as he said, "Quickly send a message to the patriarch that a Golden Core cultivator has come to the Ascendant Pavilion in Xinsu City to cause trouble."

"Understood, I will send the message immediately."

A middle-aged man at the ninth level of Qi Refining took out a communication token to send a message.

This is a communication artifact crafted by Xu Deling, learned from the Heavenly Forging Sect. It can transmit messages within a range of ten thousand miles.

However, the message had just been sent out.

Then a terrifying "boom" sounded from above the Ascension Pavilion.

It was a gray palm print about ten feet in size, with a ferocious beast shadow faintly emerging in the center of the palm print, exuding a violent pressure.

When attacked, the array of light screens rippled like water.

"It's actually a third-tier grand formation."

The man in the dark gold robe standing high in the sky looked surprised.

A terrifying pressure from a Golden Core cultivator emerged, spreading its aura and naturally alarming the Golden Core ancestors of the three great Golden Core families of Xin Su City: Tang, Yan, and Luo.

The Tang and Yan families each have only one Golden Core cultivator, while the Luo family is the strongest, with two who are currently the city lords of Xin Su City.

Four Golden Core cultivators emerged from the mansion, transforming into streaks of rainbow light as they rushed towards this location.

boom! boom! boom!
The man in the dark gold robe made three more attacks in succession, each time causing violent fluctuations in the light barrier of the great formation, which was enough to show how terrifying his strength was.

After a while.

The three Golden Elixir Masters have arrived here.

The old man from the Luo family looked at the man in the dark gold robe and his expression changed immediately. He then clasped his hands and smiled, "So it is the Azure Wolf True Monarch of the Greedy Wolf Sect who has come to my Heart's Rest City."

He glanced at the cultivators kneeling on the street due to the pressure of his Golden Core, and continued, "Why is the True Lord angry, and why is he making such a big fuss?"

Canglang Zhenjun glanced contemptuously at the four Golden Core cultivators led by the Luo family elder—two mid-stage and two early-stage—and angrily demanded, "Why?"

"Naturally, it's because the Ascension Pavilion in your city poisoned one of my disciples and then killed another one of them."

"The Ascension Pavilion." The old man from the Luo family felt a jolt in his heart. "Is this True Monarch Canglang coming to cause trouble because of something that happened more than two years ago?"

"What, you intend to attack me, True Monarch?" True Monarch Canglang's voice was slightly deep.

"I dare not, but I cannot make a move within the city. I beg you, True Lord, to spare my dignity and withdraw your oppressive aura?"

"Your face?" True Monarch Canglang sneered twice. "What face do you have to speak of in front of me?"

"True Lord, don't go too far! This is not your Greedy Wolf Palace after all!"

A mocking glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Wolf True Monarch, and the gray-black magic power in his palm surged once more, gathering in his palm with an even denser flow of energy than when he attacked the Ascension Pavilion.

In the blink of an eye, a gray-black palm print, nearly half the size of the previous one, took shape!
Suddenly, his wrist sank, and the gray-black palm print went straight for the old man of the Luo family.

The old man from the Luo family's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that True Monarch Canglang would be so domineering, attacking without warning.

"Please help me!"

After the elder of the Luo family spoke, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He gathered his magic power, made hand seals, and used a spell to counterattack.

The same applies to the other three.

Boom~
The gray-black palm print was destroyed by four spells of different colors.

"Since you were able to withstand this attack, you are not entirely incompetent. Then witness the divine power of this True Lord."

The four of them suddenly changed their expressions.

There was already a difference in their cultivation levels, and now that True Lord Canglang was about to use his perfected divine power, the group panicked and hurriedly released their natal magic treasures, preparing for battle.

Just when things were at their most critical, a voice rang out.

"I wondered who attacked my Ascension Pavilion. I thought it was some fellow Daoist who was jealous of the Xu family's business and wanted to cause some trouble. It turns out it was True Monarch Canglang."

A strange wave spread out, and the cultivators kneeling on the street immediately felt the pressure ease, and they all stood up.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they bowed to Xu Chuan and said, "Thank you, True Lord Kurong."

"You've arrived quite quickly, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Patriarch." Huang Tianba walked out of the Ascension Pavilion, bowed to Xu Chuan, and said, "Senior True Monarch Canglang believes that our Ascension Pavilion poisoned one of his disciples and killed another of his disciples."

"Fellow Daoist Canglang, could the two Qi Refining stage cultivators lying on the ground be your beloved disciples?"

"So what?"

"Since they are your beloved disciples, why let them lie there and be watched by everyone?" Xu Chuan smiled faintly. "Besides, I didn't know that Fellow Daoist Canglang had such low standards when it came to accepting disciples."

"I feel like anyone you randomly pick off the street could be your disciple. Why don't you just take on a couple as compensation?"

"You!" Fellow Daoist Canglang glared fiercely at Xu Chuan. "How dare you question my standards for accepting disciples?"

"The man below killed my disciple; today, he shall pay with his life!"

Before he finished speaking, True Monarch Canglang clenched his right hand, and gray-black spiritual power surged out from his palm, instantly condensing into a wolf claw over ten feet long.

The wolf's claws flashed with light, surrounded by black mist. Wherever the claws passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, and it rushed straight towards Huang Tianba's face.

"Fellow Daoist Canglang, why the haste?"

Xu Chuan seemed to have anticipated this. Without moving, he simply flicked his sleeve, and a large ink-black seal flew out from his sleeve. It was the magic treasure, the Heaven-Turning Seal.

As soon as it appeared, it brought with it a heavy and imposing aura, and crashed into the gray-black wolf claw.

"Oh!"

The Heaven-Turning Seal clashed with the wolf's claws, and a deafening roar reverberated in all directions.

The gray-black wolf claws were instantly shattered, black energy scattered, and Huang Tianba was sent flying several feet away by the aftershock.

The large, dark seal trembled slightly before falling back into Xu Chuan's sleeve.

"You're going to stop me? Do you think my disciple died in vain?"

"A life for a life is a matter of course, but what if I can prove that neither of them has anything to do with my Ascension Pavilion?"

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, and with a light tap of his finger, a pill flew out from the sinister young man's body. "Fellow Daoist Canglang said that your disciple was poisoned to death by a pill from my Ascension Pavilion."

But why is my Divine Sense Pill still there in the Ascension Pavilion?
He probably only bought one, right?

"Yes, Patriarch," Huang Tianba said, standing up and clasping his hands in greeting.

"As for the other person," Xu Chuan said with a faint smile, "I just examined his body. He had minor injuries, but the cause of death was the annihilation of his soul."

“Patriarch, I merely gathered my magical power to sweep him away. Everyone present can testify to that. Moreover, although my spiritual sense is stronger than his, I do not know any methods of spiritual attack. I only managed to injure his soul.”

"That's just one-sided!"

Xu Chuan said, "However, since you were nearby, why did you just watch your disciple die?"

"Could it be that they're just using their deaths as a pretext to attack my Ascension Pavilion?"

"Nonsense! It's just that by the time I arrive, it will be too late!"

"Fellow Daoist, your divine sense covers an area of ​​dozens of miles. Even if your body is too slow to react, once you unleash your pressure, who would dare to make a move? And once you appear, you will attack my Ascendant Pavilion without saying a word."

"If it weren't for the third-tier defensive array that my Ascension Pavilion had set up, the entire pavilion would probably have been destroyed by you, and many people would have lost their lives inside, resulting in heavy losses."

"Fellow Daoist Canglang, you owe me an explanation!"

"Why should I, the True Lord, explain myself to you!"

When questioned by Xu Chuan, the Azure Wolf True Lord was speechless for a moment, feeling the anger in his chest churning like magma.

He hadn't expected that the Xu family's mere pavilion would be equipped with a third-tier defensive array, causing all his plans to fall apart.

It could even leave you speechless and embarrassed.

In a fit of rage, he rapidly formed hand seals, and the gray mist around him suddenly intensified, condensing into countless wolf shadows.

Each wolf shadow was several feet tall, with protruding fangs, bloodshot eyes, and a deafening howl.

"Divine Power: Thousand Wolves' Frenzied Devour!"

With a roar, thousands of wolf shadows pounced out, surging towards Xu Chuan like a tidal wave, their claws tearing through the air, carrying a ferocious aura that seemed to devour everything.

The surrounding space was shrouded in this malevolent aura, becoming dim.

"True Lord Ku Rong, be careful!" the elders of the Luo family warned.

Previously, they thought they would be facing the Great Perfection of the Azure Wolf True Monarch's divine power, but in the blink of an eye, the person they were going to face had changed to the head of the Xu family!
Upon seeing this, Xu Chuan's expression hardened. He formed a hand seal and chanted, "Divine Power - Glory Seal!"

This is the true meaning of the Great Completion of Withering and Flourishing that Xu Chuan recently comprehended, and based on this true meaning, he created the second form of the "Withering and Flourishing Seal" - "Rotating Wheel Seal".

Drawing inspiration from the cycle of life and death, and the withering and flourishing of plants, the seal is divided into "Prosperity Seal" and "Desolation Seal".

The "Ronghua Seal" is ever-flowing and majestic, like ocean waves. Each seal is stronger than the last, allowing life force to be sublimated to its fullest extent and unleashing power several times over.

As for the "Desolate Seal," it dissolves all things and magic. If the physical body is imprinted with it, the body will gradually wither away, like rotten wood.

Furthermore, one's soul will also be affected and gradually weakened; it is truly a strange and unpredictable supernatural power.

The cyan hand seals collided with the wolf shadow, the deafening roar shaking the heavens and earth, and the sky was filled with a mixture of gray mist and cyan light.

Countless wolf shadows followed one after another, continuously weakening the "Glorious Seal".

Xu Chuan unleashed his own vitality and unleashed two more "Ronghua Seals".

As long as his vitality can hold up, he can keep unleashing bursts of power, each strike stronger than the last.

However, when the third seal was unleashed, the thousand wolf shadows condensed by the divine power of the Azure Wolf True Lord were all destroyed.

This scene shocked everyone present.
