Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 297 How Did You Attract This Killing Star? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Boom boom boom~"

Hundreds of dazzling attacks landed on the array light screens of the Mo family, Xu family, and other magic boats.

The pale blue light screen rippled violently.

The light screen of the magic boat where the Ximen family was located immediately developed many cracks, after all, the array set up on their magic boat was only at the top level of the second tier.

"Brother Mo, this is the second wave already. It seems the cultivators of the Greedy Wolf Mansion are quite angry."

Xu Chuan looked at the hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators and three or four early to mid-stage Golden Core cultivators in the distance, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

“Demonic cultivators have always been arrogant, allowing themselves to attack others but not allowing others to infringe upon them. Fellow Daoist Kurong, there is no need to say more to them.”

"If you, I, Fellow Daoist Ximen, and Fellow Daoist Lieyang join forces, we can kill as many as we can."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly.

However, just as the four of them were about to make a move, the Golden Core cultivators ordered a retreat.

The group scattered and fled.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xu Chuan could not fully utilize his divine sense techniques, but using his escape techniques was not a major problem. He immediately chose to pursue an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The other three also each chose one.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators also broke out of the magic boat to hunt down those Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.

The rest of the people stayed where they were, waiting for their return.

Ye Fan, Xu Mingxian, and Xu Deyue all went out to fight the enemy, while Xu Deling stayed behind to oversee the Dharma Boat.

Xu Chuan had already secretly used the "Little Astrology" to deduce the identity of the four people who had benefited him the most.

His divination techniques have reached a high level of mastery.

Moreover, being at the Golden Core stage himself, his ability to withstand the backlash from divination techniques was greatly enhanced, making these minor matters extremely easy for him.

They even pointed out the direction Xu Mingxian and the other two should pursue, so their gains must have been substantial.

Xu Chuan pursued the Golden Core cultivator for three hundred miles.

Soon, the middle-aged man with the Golden Core cultivation suddenly stopped and shouted, "Old ghost with withered bones, old demon with green sheep, come out now!"

"Hahahaha~"

Two figures, one gray and one black, emerged from the vast surrounding mountains and arrived a hundred feet to either side of Xu Chuan.

The old man on the left was wearing a faded gray Taoist robe. He was thin and bony, and a faint gray mist surrounded him, giving him a sinister aura.

His head hair was sparse and few strands, withered and yellow like withered grass clinging to his scalp, with a few strands hanging down his forehead. His cheekbones were high, his eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were cloudy and yellow, yet they held a chilling aura.

On the right is a middle-aged man dressed in a dark red outfit. His robes are made of fire silkworm silk, embroidered with ferocious demonic patterns, and emit a faint red glow.

This man was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated his robust physique. He had broad shoulders, a thick back, and bulging arm muscles. His aura was domineering and intense, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

It is clearly a domineering demonic fire-based technique.

The middle-aged man had a resolute face, thick, dark eyebrows, and bloodshot eyes that seemed to burn with demonic fire. His gaze was sharp as a knife, exuding a fierce aura. A shallow scar on his forehead added to his menacing appearance.

Both of them were at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and were releasing their imposing auras without restraint.

"Brother Mo, well done! The cultivators of Tiancang Mansion are so stupid; they chased after us with just a simple lure," the Green Sheep Old Demon laughed heartily.

The withered bone master grinned, revealing several yellowed black teeth. "Brother Qingyang, why say so much? Just deal with him sooner rather than later. They've plundered quite a bit of resources and wealth along the way."

However, I retain his body and soul.

"The Golden Core and Divine Soul are a great tonic for my little darlings."

"Of course!" A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Green Goat Demon.

Not only Xu Chuan, but Mo Wenshang, Ximen Xue, and Lieyang Zhenjun were also besieged by two or three Golden Core cultivators.

"A cultivator of the Ghost Path? This is quite a good opportunity."

A beam of azure light shot out from Xu Chuan's dantian, hovering above his head and slowly rotating. Twelve flying swords and magical treasures shot out, splitting into three paths to attack the three of them.

At the same time, six array flags flew out of the storage ring and shot into the distance.

The cultivator surnamed Mo, the old demon Qingyang, and the withered bone master were all surprised to see Xu Chuan attack first, after all, the other party was only a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage.

But the powerful aura emanating from the cyan-gold umbrella as it spun, and the twelve flying swords that shot towards them like lightning, were all striking.

The three of them changed color.

The Green Sheep Demon exclaimed in surprise, "A top-grade umbrella-type magic weapon, early stage of the Golden Core realm, skilled in controlling multiple flying swords... You are the Withered Glory True Monarch of the Heavenly Azure Palace?!"

The withered bone master turned to look at the cultivator surnamed Mo, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "How did you manage to attract this killing star here!"

"I have never seen the appearance of the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing!"

Xu Chuan's fearsome reputation had already spread throughout the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Before killing the Blood-Robed Ancestor, those mid-to-late stage Golden Core cultivators might have thought he was insignificant.

However, the Blood-Robed Ancestor was already infamous, and in the last great battle, he became Xu Chuan's stepping stone, which shocked and made countless Golden Core cultivators in the Greedy Wolf Mansion extremely wary.

The three cultivators surnamed Mo summoned their natal magic weapons to defend against the fierce attack of the four flying sword magic weapons.

While the Green Sheep Demon was using his Demonic True Flame Divine Power to try to escape, Xu Chuan would not let him succeed.

With a flick of his sleeve, the "Heaven-Turning Seal" shot out, shattering his True Flame Divine Power.

And then two flying swords blocked its path.

The same applies to the Master of Dry Bones.

He released a white skull with three eye sockets glowing with eerie green fire, a unique phenomenon somewhere between a supernatural power and a magical artifact.

In an instant, it blocked the attack of the four flying swords.

Xu Chuan then released four flying swords from the Azure Dragon Umbrella to block the path of the Bone Master.

The cultivator surnamed Mo was the weakest, and he was helpless under the attack of four flying swords.

"True Lord Ku Rong, don't push me too far!" The Bone Master made a hand seal, and the three white bone skulls merged into one, transforming into a size of about ten feet.

The flames in his eye sockets turned dark red, and his aura was in no way inferior to that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Ta-da!
The flying sword's attack landed on the skull, which was about ten feet tall, but only left shallow scratches, unable to damage its core at all.

The skull smashed through the flying sword, opened its mouth wide, and lunged straight at Xu Chuan.

The Azure Dragon Umbrella shone brightly with azure light, and a pale blue defensive barrier blocked the skull's attack.

"Old Demon Qingyang, what are you still keeping those treasures for!" the Bone Master roared. "If we can't escape today, we'll both die here!"

The Old Demon of the Green Sheep unleashed his full power, his surging magic force shaking off the magic weapon. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a blue bead containing explosive energy was sent hurtling towards the pale blue light barrier.

"It's getting late."

Xu Chuan's figure suddenly disappeared.

For some reason, the blue bead collided with the skull of the withered man, creating a huge roar.

Clouds and mist began to rise all around.

The three figures disappeared, and it was impossible to see each other again.

Even when he extended his divine sense, it was to no avail.

Xu Chuan had already put away the flying sword and the Heaven-Turning Seal.

Once the third-order Cloud Illusion Array is complete, it will be his domain, and also his hunting ground.

The cultivator surnamed Mo was constantly on guard with his surroundings when suddenly an incredibly terrifying pressure appeared in the air, almost crushing all the bones in his body.

Even magical power was affected in some way, and its operation became very sluggish.

This is precisely the effect of the superior magic weapon "Double Profound Seal".

The instant he attacked the cultivator surnamed Mo, Xu Chuan silently appeared behind him and easily shattered his magic shield with a single strike of "Ronghua Seal," severely injuring him and destroying his dantian.

They capture souls and send them into the "Soul Gathering Banner" as nourishment for the Blood Demon King.

Their bodies will serve as materials for refining blood corpses in the future, or as food for other blood corpses.

The Green Sheep Demon was quite powerful, and he held out against Xu Chuan for more than ten breaths.

However, just as he realized there was no hope and was about to self-destruct, Xu Chuan used a divine sense technique to severely damage his soul, and then killed him.

Their fate was exactly the same as that of the demonic cultivators.

He practiced the "Green Sheep Demon Art," which was extremely domineering, but unfortunately it was useless to Xu Chuan. It was just a decent technique to include.

Only techniques like puppetry, ghost arts, and corpse refining would be of great use to Xu Chuan.

Finally, there was the hermit withered bones.

Upon seeing Xu Chuan, the Bone Master said, "It seems the other two are dead, isn't that right?"

"I never provoke anyone, but if anyone dares to extend their claws, I will take their claws along with their life."

"We underestimated you, but we will surely win this war."

The Bone Master prepared to self-destruct his ten-foot-long skull.

If this special ghost-path magic weapon were to self-destruct, its power would be comparable to that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, potentially affecting the stability of the Cloud Heaven Illusion Array space.

However, Xu Chuan struck first. Before he finished speaking, a faint light shone from between Xu Chuan's brows, and eighteen silver needles formed from divine consciousness pierced into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Bone Master cultivates the Ghost Path, possessing a powerful soul and divine sense that is in no way inferior to those in the late Golden Core stage.

However, under Xu Chuan's full-power divine sense technique, he was also tormented to the point of having a splitting headache, and he couldn't even summon a trace of magic power.

Xu Chuan pierced through his dantian with a single finger.

The "Desolate Seal" dealt another severe blow to his soul, nearly causing him to faint.

After killing it, they sealed away the three skulls that had split apart again.

The Blood Demon King received nourishment from the three Golden Core Divine Souls. Once he has fully refined them, he should be able to advance to the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank.

From the skeleton, Xu Chuan found the secret method for refining and controlling skulls, as well as ghost cultivation techniques, many related classics, and high-level Yin-attribute materials.

This trip, including spirit stones, materials, and magic treasures, is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts; sages and saints are not lying!
Xu Chuan studied the secret technique for controlling the skull. The skull was made primarily from the skull, soul, and essence of a Golden Core cultivator, combined with many other Yin-attribute materials, and refined using the secret techniques of the Ghost Path.

They possess a certain level of intelligence, and if these abilities cannot be suppressed, they can easily backfire.

However, if controlled well, each skull can be a match for a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, this skull was not easy to make; it took hundreds of years for the skeletons to successfully make only three.

This was also his capital to dominate the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Even some late-stage Golden Core cultivators are extremely wary of the Bone Master.

"Refining is quite troublesome, it will take at least half a month, so I'll wait until I have another chance to refine it!"

Xu Chuan made a hand seal to dispel the Cloud Illusion Array and then returned.

"Grandfather, you're back."

Xu Deling greeted Xu Chuan with a smile upon his return.

"The others haven't returned yet; it seems they've run into trouble."

Xu Chuan said calmly that it only took him a little over a quarter of an hour to add to and kill the three Golden Core cultivators.

After a while.

Lord Lieyang returned.

"Fellow Daoist Lieyang, how is it?"

"The other side was bait. After chasing them for more than 200 miles, I was surrounded and attacked, but they were no match for me."

They killed one early-stage Golden Core demonic cultivator, and the other two escaped.

"As long as there's something to gain, that's fine." Xu Chuan smiled faintly.

Another quarter of an hour has passed.

Ximen Xue and Mo Wenshang returned one after another, looking slightly more disheveled than Lieyang Zhenjun, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.

The other Foundation Establishment disciples also returned one after another.

After a stick of incense.

Mo Wenshang, who was recuperating, said, "The other Foundation Establishment cultivators who didn't return are most likely dead. Let's continue our journey."

Xu Chuan nodded and instructed everyone to continue forward.

Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven.

While committing murder, one must also be prepared to be buried in a foreign land.

After that, they encountered no further attacks.

Clearly, it was those escaped cultivators who notified the others, who also learned of the deaths of several Golden Core cultivators.

To continue relying on clever tricks to launch an attack would undoubtedly be suicidal.

Therefore, they all went to the Greedy Wolf Sect to join each other.

Two days later.

Many Golden Elixir cultivators gathered here.

"coming!"

"The people from Tiancang Prefecture have arrived!"

More than a dozen enormous Dharma boats pierced through the clouds and arrived a dozen miles outside the gate of the Greedy Wolf Sect.

One streak of light after another shot into the sky.

There were several thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than twenty Golden Core cultivators.

This is certainly not the entire fighting force of the Greedy Wolf Mansion. Some are too far away to arrive in time, while others may not want to participate.

Qi Tianxiong scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered Mo Wentian on the Mo family's magic boat.

"As expected, there is another Nascent Soul cultivator."

He immediately sent a message to Tianluo.

Then it released the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage, enveloping all the Dharma Boats like a mountain.

A sword beam shot into the sky, radiating brilliant golden light, and its nascent soul pressure dissipated completely.

Then Xi Daoyun came to the deck and looked at Qi Tianxiong, saying, "You are still as unscrupulous as ever when it comes to attacking juniors."

"You've already come to the gates of my Greedy Wolf Sect, what do I, the sect master, need to hold back?"

"The Greedy Wolf Sect provoked us first. Are you saying we're not allowed to retaliate? Do you expect us to slaughter several more cities in our Heavenly Cang Prefecture?"

Qi Tianxiong gave a cold laugh, then said, "Fellow Daoist, you've already come all this way, what are you still hiding?"

"Your Tiancang Prefecture is really good at keeping secrets. Someone has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but not a single word has reached our Tanlang Prefecture."

"Hahaha."

Mo Wentian also rushed out of the room and arrived above the deck. He clasped his hands and said, "Mo Wentian of the Mo family of Tiancang Prefecture greets Fellow Daoist Qi."

Its nascent soul pressure spread, causing the expressions of the cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion to change.

"It really is a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Someone in Tiancang Prefecture has actually reached the Nascent Soul stage!"

Canglang Zhenjun and Tianlang Zhenjun exchanged a glance. "Senior brother, you were right."

"But if no one stops the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Mo family, we will be in a bad situation."

"This matter is none of our concern. The sect leader has already made a decision. We only need to deal with the Golden Core cultivators of Tiancang Mansion."

Qi Tianxiong sized up Mo Wentian, and after a moment said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Mo. A family with a thousand-year history, yet only one Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged. It seems the Mo family's situation in Tiancang Prefecture isn't so great."

"Why not relocate to my Greedy Wolf Sect? My Greedy Wolf Sect will never interfere with the development of your Mo family. As long as your Mo family is strong enough, it's possible that you could replace my Greedy Wolf Sect in the future." Mo Wentian smiled faintly, "My Mo family has been rooted in Tiancang Prefecture for a thousand years. It's hard to leave one's homeland. I can only decline Fellow Daoist Qi's invitation."

At this moment, Xi Daoyun also spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Qi, as long as your Greedy Wolf Sect swears not to invade my Heavenly Cang Mansion for a thousand years, we can retreat today."

Otherwise, we'll have to go through with it.

"A thousand years of non-aggression? Old ghost Xi, you're dreaming. You only have one or two hundred years of lifespan left. If your Tiancang Sect doesn't produce another Nascent Soul cultivator..."

The building is about to collapse.

"That's none of your concern!" Xi Daoyun said coldly, holding a golden longsword. The sword blade rippled, and wisps of sword light seemed to tear through space.

"I've done it!"

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

The two soared into the sky, flying to the top of the clouds. A moment later, an astonishing wave of energy ripped through the clouds.

"I wonder who will challenge this old man to a duel."

Mo Wentian stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, his aura as pure as snow. His newly formed Nascent Soul was like still water in a deep abyss, not ostentatious, yet it made the surrounding air stagnant.

His gaze swept across the opposite formation like lightning, his voice, though not loud, penetrated the surrounding area, causing all the cultivators in the formation to hold their breath and concentrate.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

"I come!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and a black beam suddenly shot out from within the formation, faster than lightning, flying to the front of the group from the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

This person had purple hair that moved without wind, and his black tight-fitting robe fluttered in the wind.

"You must be Tianluo, the one who slaughtered my Tiancang Prefecture's Jisu City."

Mo Wentian's gaze narrowed slightly, but he couldn't see through the other party even when he tried to probe with his divine sense.

"It's me, Fellow Daoist Mo. Do you intend to settle scores with me?"

Tianlu grinned wildly, his purple hair standing on end, and with a grab of his right hand, the superior-grade magic weapon "Blood Demon Axe" appeared.

"Your aura?"

Mo Wentian sensed a faint trace of Nascent Soul energy emanating from Tianluo. He raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face. "Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage?"

"Good observation skills, take this axe!"

Tianlu laughed wildly, his purple hair dancing wildly like fire. His right hand, wielding the "Blood Demon Axe," suddenly trembled, condensing a three-foot-long jet-black axe beam, like a black dragon spitting its tongue, chilling to the bone.

Mo Wentian stood still, and with a wave of his hand, his nascent soul power condensed into a shield.

"clang--"

The axe light pierced through the air, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter peaks, and slammed fiercely into the pale gold shield.

With a deafening roar, the black light and golden light collided violently, and the shockwave swept outwards like a raging torrent.

Those around were forced to retreat.

Kakakka~
The shield was instantly covered with cracks.

The next moment, it shattered with a deafening roar, and the remaining axe light continued to surge towards Mo Wentian.

Mo Wentian's expression changed. He patted his storage bag, and a puppet about ten feet tall appeared in front of him, its arms crossed, blocking the remaining axe light.

"Your strength."

"Fellow Daoist Mo, if we fight, let's not involve others. What do you think?"

After pondering for a moment, Mo Wentian said, "Let me, Mo, test just how strong you are, Fellow Daoist Tianluo!"

The two of them flew towards another part of the sky.

When Nascent Soul cultivators clash, the aftershocks are too powerful. Golden Core cultivators might be able to withstand it, but Foundation Establishment cultivators would likely have their internal organs ruptured.

"The ancient true demons are indeed terrifying, truly contending with Nascent Soul cultivators at the Golden Core stage. I wonder if there are any such powerful Golden Core cultivators in Tiannan."

If I reach the peak of the Golden Core stage, will I be able to fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator?

While Xu Chuan was deep in thought, Bing Qian had already challenged Tianlang Zhenjun to a duel.

Just as True Monarch Qingmu was about to rush towards True Monarch Canglang, Xu Chuan said, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, leave Canglang to me. I have quite a few grudges to settle with him."

Qingmu Zhenjun looked at Xu Chuan's face, pondered for a moment, nodded, and then rushed towards another Zhenjun-level expert at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage from the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

He comes from the Situ family of the Tanlang Mansion.

This is also a family with a history of thousands of years, whose ancestor was named Seven Fiends True Lord.

"Xu Chuan, I, the True Lord, am not looking for you, but you have come to me instead. Then let me, the True Lord, see how you will settle accounts with me!"

Canglang Zhenjun charged towards Xu Chuan, a cone-shaped magic weapon appearing out of thin air in his hand, radiating a fierce aura.

The main material of this magical artifact is the wolf tooth of a peak third-tier wolf demon, which is combined with several other third-tier materials to create it.

Although it was initially a low-grade magic weapon, it has grown alongside True Lord Canglang and has now reached the mid-grade level.

Xu Chuan, holding the Azure Dragon Umbrella, used it like a wooden stick to knock away the cone-shaped magic weapon.

But at that very moment...

A streak of blood-red light suddenly shot out from the side.

Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve, and the "Heaven-Turning Seal" flew out, shattering it in one fell swoop.

The man did not continue attacking Xu Chuan, but was instead entangled by another early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

"Aren't you surprised?" True Lord Canglang said while laughing wildly.

"The techniques of the Blood Robe Ancestor are of the same origin, so he must be his descendant."

"Yes."

“Xu Chuan, there are quite a few people in the Greedy Wolf Mansion who want to kill you. Who told you to be so aggressive and not restrain yourself?”

The Azure Wolf True Lord manipulated the magic weapon "Ink Fang Cone" to collide with Xu Chuan's "Heaven-Turning Seal" repeatedly, while he himself formed hand seals and unleashed his divine power to bombard Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuanjie's "Ronghua Seal" clashed with it.

Pong!
The two were separated by the shockwave, and Xu Chuan turned and rushed towards the mountain below.

The population here is too dense, making it unsuitable for him to employ his various methods.

The arrogant and domineering Canglang Zhenjun pursued closely.

It only takes a moment.

Outside the Greedy Wolf Sect, the area has been completely turned into a battlefield.

In the clash of thousands of Foundation Establishment disciples, Tiancang Mansion held the upper hand due to its better preparations.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion were killed, and their storage bags became spoils of war for the cultivators of the Heavenly Azure Mansion.

The number of Golden Core stage cultivators in Tiancang Prefecture was also several more.

However, apart from cultivators like Tianluo and Xu Chuan, it is difficult for other Golden Core cultivators to determine a winner in a short period of time when facing cultivators of similar strength.

Even if surrounded by two or three people, they can hold out for a while.

Tiancang Prefecture was well prepared, but this place was ultimately Tanlang Prefecture.

The number of demonic cultivators can be said to be endless.

Therefore, the key to this battle always lies in the combat power of the Nascent Soul stage.

If the Nascent Soul cultivators of Tiancang Mansion were stronger, they could defeat Tanlang Mansion and might even break through Tanlang Sect's grand formation.

If the outcome remains uncertain for a long time.

That day, the Cang family had no choice but to retreat and return.

Because the cultivators of the Greedy Wolf Mansion can come in an endless stream, unless the combat strength is overwhelming, they cannot compete with the local advantage when the difference is not significant.

The Xu family members were quite conspicuous.

The veteran Foundation Establishment genius of the Greedy Wolf Sect, with four or five people surrounding him, barely managed to stop Ye Fan and Xu Deyue's offensive.

They are all people who have comprehended the basic supernatural powers to the point of 60-70%.

Eight years have passed since the Tianjiao Grand Gathering.

Ye Fan and Xu Deyue have fully matured, and their performance is in no way inferior to that of the top ten geniuses back then.

Xu Deyue has comprehended 90% of the true meaning of "Guanghan" and is only one step away from mastering the supernatural power, condensing the seed of supernatural power, forming the core with supernatural power, and breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Ye Fan's True Yang Divine Power reached 70%, and his Battle Intent Divine Power reached 50%.

However, with the addition of a second-stage perfected physical body and the entry-level third form of the Brahma Holy Fist, it can withstand one or two attacks even from early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

If he perfects the third form of the Brahma Holy Fist and fully comprehends its true meaning, he might even be able to contend with an early-stage Golden Core cultivator for a period of time.

It is not much weaker than the Heavenly Net when one reaches the peak of Foundation Establishment.

"Kill the prodigy of the Xu family of Tiancang Prefecture, and my Greedy Wolf Sect will reward you with a chance to form a Core Formation and a magic treasure!" A late-stage Golden Core elder of the Greedy Wolf Sect roared angrily upon seeing one of his disciples killed.

Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, undaunted by death, surged forward.

"Five Elements Battle Formation, Condense!"

Xu Mingxian darted to Xu Deyue and the others, made hand seals, and five formations instantly condensed.

Moreover, the power of each battle formation is much stronger than that during the Gathering of Prodigies, and has reached the mid-grade level of the second tier.

He has grasped 80% of the true meaning of the formation.

This kind of true meaning is difficult to comprehend; only those with extremely high talent in array formation can possibly understand it. By using this true meaning to form a golden core, one can definitely comprehend a fourth-order array at the Golden Core stage.

The Cang family's Golden Core True Monarch, Cang Fengyan, had reached the peak of the Golden Core realm. After hundreds of years of studying formations, he had only reached the third-tier upper-grade level.

It is evident that the art of formations is difficult.

With Xu Mingxian's talent, he might be able to deduce a third-tier high-grade formation soon after entering the Golden Core stage.

Within the Five Elements Battle Formation, five beams of spiritual light soared into the sky, intertwining and entwining in the air, condensing into forty-five chains of various colors.

The chains moved in unison, forming a net that entangled the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect, blocking their path.

These chains all possessed a full-force attack comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, making them impossible to ignore.

"Damn it! Break those chains!"

The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect roared angrily.

With all their magical weapons drawn, sword energy, blade light, and runes exploded, fiercely striking the Five Elements Chains.

Just as the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect were struggling to deal with the chains, a white figure darted out like a startled swan – it was Xu Deyue!

She held the Autumn Water Sword, its blade as clear as condensed moonlight. As she wielded it, her robes fluttered, making her appear like a fairy descending from the moon.

"The Moonlit Sword Technique, Frosty Snow Dance!"

As the cold shout fell, the Autumn Water Sword burst forth with thousands of silver-white sword lights, each one like the moon reflected in autumn water, exquisitely beautiful, yet carrying a bone-chilling cold that would freeze muscles and shatter bones upon contact.

Where the sword flashed, screams of agony rose and fell.

Just as a disciple of the Greedy Wolf Sect cleaved through a wooden chain, he was struck by three sword lights simultaneously. Thin ice instantly formed around his body, his blood and qi stagnated, and in the next instant, the sword light pierced his chest, turning him into a cloud of blood mist.

Another late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple tried to escape, but his retreat was cut off by the sword light. The icy aura invaded his meridians, and he froze on the spot. Then, he was entangled by the pursuing chains and was forcibly crushed into a pulp.

Then there's Ye Fan, who roared wildly, his muscles bulging, veins popping, and his physical strength exploding as he charged around like a humanoid monster.

He used only his bare fists to strike the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, a disciple of the Greedy Wolf Sect was punched in the chest. His protective spiritual energy instantly dissipated, and his body exploded, spraying blood mist everywhere.

Every punch Ye Fan throws carries terrifying wind pressure, capable of breaking bones and tendons at best, and blasting bodies apart at worst.

While controlling the battle formation, Xu Mingxian's eyes flashed like lightning. Seeing his disciples perish and their storage bags scattered, he immediately flicked his finger.

A surge of spiritual energy swept through, collecting all the storage bags into its hands without missing a single one.

The Xu family has never been wasteful in their actions.

He condensed another incantation at his fingertips, and the blood mist that filled the sky was drawn into a certain magical artifact like a whale sucking water. The scattered remnant souls met the same fate.

The brilliance of this Five Elements Battle Formation lies in its ability to assist in trapping and blocking enemies, and to control everything within a hundred feet. However, its destructive power is ultimately slightly inferior.

However, Xu Deyue's Guanghan Sword Technique and Ye Fan's physical strength perfectly compensated for the weaknesses in the battle formation.

The three worked together seamlessly, and even when surrounded by dozens of members of the Greedy Wolf Sect, they were able to handle the situation with ease.

Trapping the enemy in battle formations, piercing defenses with sword light, and reaping flesh with a single blow—this combination of attacks resulted in heavy casualties among the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect, with not a single one able to break through within fifty feet.

Xu Mingxian's battle formation skills have an extremely high ceiling. Once he develops his battle formations to the peak of the second tier, he will be able to sweep through the Foundation Establishment stage without needing to rely on the destructive power of Xu Deyue and Ye Fan.

Even the Golden Elixir can rival it.

Many Golden Core cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion wished they could break through and kill Xu Mingxian and the other two.

But Xu Deling kept a close eye on it.

Her opponent was a mid-stage Golden Core demonic cultivator whose demonic arts were domineering, yet she was constantly suppressed by him.

Even more remarkably, Xu Deling didn't activate the power of the Fire Phoenix bloodline, nor did he use any high-grade magic treasures; he only relied on his supernatural abilities and a mid-grade magic treasure to fight his enemy.

The superior-grade magic weapon was personally crafted for her by Zhenyangzi, primarily for defense.

The mid-grade magic weapon was a congratulatory gift from Yan Zhenzhen to celebrate his Core Formation, and it is primarily for attack.

In addition, she also possesses a feather from a True Spirit Fire Phoenix, which has become her natal magic weapon. It is perfectly suited to her, and although it is only at the second level, its power is comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon.

Unfortunately, her spirit pet is only at the peak of the second tier and is not of much use at the moment. It spends most of its time in the fire vein of the Heavenly Feather Sect, silently absorbing the power of the fire vein and cultivating.

Whenever a Golden Core cultivator from the Greedy Wolf Mansion tries to harm Xu Mingxian and her group, she will use a mid-grade magic weapon to attack them.

Subsequently, other Golden Core cultivators from Tiancang Prefecture will fill in.

Although Xu Deling could not control more than a dozen magical treasures like Xu Chuan did.

However, having four or five low-grade or mid-grade magic treasures is still no problem, and each one can unleash powerful energy.

Of course, this is also her limit.

The many techniques and secret arts that Xu Chuan passed on to the Xu family disciples are not something that everyone can cultivate to his level.

However, once they cultivate to a certain level, it will be enough for them to gain the upper hand when fighting against other Golden Core cultivators.

Normally, it's difficult to find even one mid-grade magic weapon on someone in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but Xu Deling carries seven or eight magic weapons.

Both low-grade and medium-grade products exist, and they are almost all different types.

After all, she had recently crafted a three-patterned magic weapon, which already made her a mid-grade third-tier weapon refiner.

"As expected, the Xu family is too much of a threat!"

Sirius True Monarch glanced at Xu Mingxian's group. Unless a Golden Core cultivator made a move, the three of them would be invincible in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Fellow Daoist Tianlang, you still have time to care about others?"

Binggan, holding icy flames in his hand, closed in on him.

Sirius Dodged and used his magic weapon to shoot away, which Bingqian met with ice flames.

boom!
The ice flames transformed into countless blue specks of light that scattered in all directions.

But Bingqian made a hand seal, and all the light points condensed again into an ice flame lotus.

"Fellow Daoist Tianlang, you killed Elder Huang Yuan and Elder Chi Yang of my sect, didn't you? Since you dared to kill my sect's elders, why are you now avoiding fighting me?"
