Invincible!

Chapter 178 Real Fire
"waste!"

The moment those two words were uttered, not only Shen Zangxing, the person directly affected, but also Nangong Feixu and Xu Nuo, the sixth-realm elder standing beside him, felt their breath catch in their throats.

Li Xian's provocation...

It's practically a fight to the death.

Having been publicly called trash, if Shen Zangxing doesn't keep his promise and launch a powerful counterattack, how will he ever have the face to stand in the Great Luo Immortal Sect again?!
And Shen Zangxing...

His face darkened for a moment, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

He laughed in exasperation.

Who is Shen Zangxing?
A being born with a solar Dao body, cultivated a top-tier Dao foundation, and mastered unparalleled magical power!
In just 130 years, he ignited the true fire of the sun, and his Rainbow Transformation Technique traversed the heavens and earth, unstoppable by anyone. Even against a seventh-realm Golden Core cultivator, he could come and go freely.

In the future, as long as Yin and Yang are combined, one can cultivate the immortal elixir and enter a new realm of living for thousands of years!
By then, he will be a true cultivator who will be respected as a "True Person" by all other cultivators.

He is a patriarch capable of establishing himself as an ancestor in any region.

He also holds a high position and great power among the nine strongest immortal sects in the world, and is being groomed as a future immortal powerhouse!

As a result, nowadays, a mere fourth-realm disciple, relying on his "brilliant and proud" potential in the Immortal Realm, dares to shamelessly call him "trash" and provoke him in a blatant act!

How ridiculous!
Again……

What a humiliation!

After laughing, Shen Zangxing's expression turned cold: "Li Xian! You have quite the nerve!"

"It's not that I'm bold, it's that I'm giving you a chance."

Li Xian looked at Shen Zangxing: "Perhaps you feel angry and humiliated right now, thinking that you, as a sixth-realm cultivator, have been provoked by a junior like me! But, do you not think about it? If I don't give you a chance to make a move now, with my cultivation speed of going from Foundation Establishment to Three Flowers Gathering at the Top in one year, what realm will I reach in three to five years, or even ten to eight years?"

His tone was so natural that it was as if he were stating a fact: "No matter how slow it was, by then, I would have already cultivated the Golden Core, right? After all, I would have been over thirty years old by then."

Thirty years old, Golden Core!
Shen Zangxing understood both of these terms.

However, when they were put together, the expression of this sixth-realm disciple, who had just been laughing in extreme anger, froze slightly.

"I have already condensed an unparalleled foundation of Dao and cultivated supreme magical power. Once I refine the Golden Core, even if you, Shen Zangxing, had ten times the courage, you would not dare to show me the slightest disrespect. You would endure all the resentment, anger, and humiliation..."

Li Xian earnestly said to this sixth-realm disciple, "Tell me, how frustrated you must have felt back then, and how boring it must have been for me to face you, who didn't even have the courage to make a move against me?"

"you……"

Shen Zangxing felt a deep sense of humiliation once again.

But for some reason, upon closer reflection, he found that Li Xian's explanation was actually...

Is there some truth to that?
It has indeed taken him just over a year to go from the Foundation Establishment stage to where he is now.

Moreover, their combat strength is comparable to that of a fifth-realm cultivator!

If he were given another ten or eight years, once he mastered the Taiyin and Taiyang techniques...

"Therefore, I believe you should seize this opportunity no matter what! Because this will be the closest you've ever come to defeating me! If you miss it, you'll end up like Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli, who are probably already regretting it right now..."

Li Xian paused slightly at this point in his speech: "They don't even have the right to die by my hand anymore."

Shen Zangxing, who had initially thought that Li Xian's words made some sense, could no longer control his rational thoughts as Li Xian finished speaking.

"Li Xian! You're arrogant!"

His eyes widened in fury: "Nonsense! You think you can distract me and disturb my peace of mind like this?! Golden Core Realm? How easy is it to break through this realm?! The first four realms before entering the Dao are merely the foundation. As long as you have enough resources, who can't make rapid progress? But the last four realms after entering the Dao are called True Persons in ancient times. Each step is a new level, each step is a proof of the Dao. Ten or eight years, you want to form a Golden Core? You're dreaming!"

"Since you know about the ancient masters, you should know that in ancient times this realm was for refining Qi into spirit. There was no such thing as Taiyin or Taiyang. True geniuses could directly achieve the union of Yin and Yang after the Three Flowers Gather at the Top, thus refining the Golden Elixir and even stimulating their divine sense."

Li Xian calmly flicked his sleeves: "And I, Li Xian, am truly deserving of the title of sect-certified prodigy."

Looking at his calm and extremely confident demeanor...

At this moment, Shen Zangxing had only one thought in his mind.

We must never repeat the mistakes of Yan Cailian, Wang Xiangdong, and Cheng Wanli!

kill!

Mr. Li...

His talent is too strong!

Although his words may contain exaggerations, his talent is beyond doubt!
Now that things have come to this, if we let him grow up unchecked, he will inevitably become a major threat to Shen Zangxing's life!
therefore……

Li Xian must die!
Li Xianyi's death can effectively deter Nangong Feixu and force him to submit!
even……

He felt a pang of regret. Had he known things would turn out this way, he should have used force directly instead of hesitating and worrying about the sect's investigation, and playing the foolish game of gentlemanly conduct.

What he always wanted was the Taiyin body!

As for her true feelings?

Who cares about such boring things?

"Li Xian, there's no point in saying more! I accept your challenge!"

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Shen Zangxing said coldly, "I only hope that by then your bones will be as hard as your mouth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up, transformed into a rainbow of light, and left the mountain.

If the sect takes action, the consequences will be severe.

Therefore, he had to prepare well for the life-or-death battle outside the sect a month later. Li Xian and Shen Zangxing were locked in a fierce confrontation. The two true disciples, one with unlimited potential and the other at the pinnacle of the true disciples, naturally exerted a powerful aura that made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Only after Shen Zangxing left did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Nangong Feixu couldn't help but turn her gaze to Li Xian: "Senior Brother Li..."

"It's alright, leave the rest to me."

Li said calmly.

Back then, he had thought of using this incident to repay Nangong Feixu's investment favor.

Now that we have the ability, we should put it into practice.

"What a brilliant display of mental combat!"

Xu Nuo watched Shen Zangxing leave with a gloomy and cold expression, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"This Senior Brother Li's mental combat technique is exquisite. He has made the most of his own strength. With just a few words, he has left a mental trap in Shen Zangxing's mind: 'I am far inferior to him and must kill him as quickly as possible!'"

His thoughts raced: "You must know, he is a future Dao Child who has reached the peak of the sixth realm in just two Jiazi! His talent is so high, so amazing!? Such a genius, so proud and arrogant!? Yet he willingly admits his inferiority to Li Xian, his mind in turmoil! The confrontation between the two seems to be a month from now, but in fact it has already begun, and it seems to have ended in Li Xian's victory!"

His gaze toward Li Xian was filled with admiration: "Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Li Xian naturally had no idea what Xu Nuo was thinking at that moment.

He recalled his behavior just now.

"Very good, it's done. No one understands provocation better than me!"

Hatred is locked away.

Looking at Li Xian's calm face, Nangong Feixu's worries gradually subsided.

but……

She still said cautiously, "Shen Zangxing is very strong, and the difference between the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Taiyin and Taiyang realms is different from the Magic Power realm and the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top."

She organized her thoughts: "The Taiyin True Essence is refined by drawing upon the power of the Taiyin stars, making it even more condensed than magical power. The two are like fine steel and iron ore. Although the former originates from ore, it is forged through repeated tempering and is extremely condensed. The Taiyang True Fire, on the other hand, lives up to its name. Its power is blazing and domineering."

Mr. Li listened patiently.

As a true disciple of the Sixth Realm, Shen Zangxing possesses the Sun Dao Body, making him worthy of his utmost attention.

but……

Currently, only this kind of opponent can make him truly sense a life-or-death crisis, thereby prompting him to grow rapidly.

And within the agreed time, grow to the point where you can rival Yi Yuanshi, a peak Refinement God expert.

"The reason why cultivators in the Dao are called ordinary cultivators in the first and second stages, high-level cultivators in the third and fourth stages, and top-level cultivators in the fifth and sixth stages is because these stages are all marked by supernatural phenomena. Ordinary cultivators have supernatural magical powers, high-level cultivators have supernatural transformations, and... top-level cultivators have supernatural refining abilities."

Nangong Feixu said, "The True Fire of the Sun is not only used for life-or-death battles, but most importantly, this flame is connected to the mind and spirit, and can be used for alchemy and weapon crafting. Therefore, almost every Grand Cultivator in the True Fire of the Sun is a master of alchemy and weapon crafting and is very wealthy."

Xu Nuo, who was standing to the side, touched his forehead.

After a moment, he said, "Although I do not have the Sun Dao Body, I should have some say in the Sun True Fire Realm. Let me tell you about the changes between the Taiyin and Taiyang realms."

Nangong Feixu, who was standing to the side, was overjoyed to see that he was willing to speak.

Li Xian naturally didn't mind listening to a cultivator at the Sun Realm share his experience.

"In today's world, achieving the Golden Core stage is considered extremely high-level in any power. Even in our Nine Immortal Sects, it would only be a position of sect elder. In the Four Immortal Dynasties, once someone achieves the Golden Core stage, they can be enfeoffed as a king of a different surname. If a prince achieves the Golden Core stage, he can be appointed as the crown prince and groomed to be the emperor..."

Before mentioning the True Fire of the Sun realm, Xu Nuo first brought up the Immortal Golden Core realm: "The difference between regional overlords and non-overlord-level forces lies in whether or not a force possesses a Golden Core. This is not only because Golden Core cultivators can live for thousands of years, ensuring a force's continued prosperity for millennia, but also because of their superior strength!"

He paused, then continued, "Precisely because the Golden Core stage is so crucial, any clash involving Golden Core cultivators can escalate rapidly! In such a situation, unless one wants to completely sever ties, the only option is to involve cultivators below the Golden Core stage! And among those below the Golden Core stage, the strongest are those at the True Fire of the Sun realm..."

As Xu Nuo described, his impression of cultivators in the Taiyin and Taiyang realms gradually became clear.

Those in the Taiyin and Taiyang realms belong to the absolute elite class in any power.

Let alone small forces or regional hegemons, even among the top forces, they belong to the most fiercely competitive strata.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the conflict does not escalate while still gaining the upper hand, many forces will specially train cultivators of the True Sun Fire for life-or-death battles.

Although Shen Zangxing was not born for battle, his possession of the Solar Dao Body gives him a natural advantage in this realm.

Even Xu Nuo, a disciple of the Shadow Sword Immortal, felt inferior to Shen Zangxing.

Therefore, Shen Zangxing considered himself extraordinary...

It's because he truly has the talent and ability.

However, after learning all this, Li Xian was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he looked forward to the challenge a month later even more.

after all……

There are many areas where he can improve in this month.

For example, the sun is pure gold.

For example, there was that fifth-realm magic weapon that had already been ordered and delivered to my door.

as well as……

The ancient burial ground of immortals, whose fate of immortality may be unknown!
