My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Three days later, the imperial delegation departed to bestow rewards.

They brought back news of Li Xuancang's great victory over the grassland tribes, as well as some evidence of collusion between the Liangzhou army and the grassland people.

"Ouyang De, send these cultivation resources to the Xuanxin Sect and hand them over to my little sister. She can then seek help from Elder Qingxuan."

Ouyang De has already broken through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and is considered a powerful figure within the human realm. If you are careful, there will be no danger.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ouyang De immediately accepted the order and left with the resources.

The resources he brought to the Xuanxin Sect were enough to tempt any Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, and even some Profound Realm cultivators.

Li Xuancang was not afraid that he would escape with the resources.

After spending some time together, Li Xuancang came to believe in Ouyang De's character.

Moreover, his brother Ouyang Meng and mother were still in Ganquan County, so he dared not abscond with the resources.

Meanwhile, inside the garrison headquarters.

Shen Chongyuan dismissed everyone and spoke alone with an old man with a sinister look in his eyes.

"I want you to join forces with me to kill Li Xuancang."

Shen Chongyuan's words were startling, filled with murderous intent, indicating his intention to kill Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang posed too great a threat to him; if Li Xuancang didn't die, he couldn't hold onto his position.

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed, and he refused without even thinking.

"My abilities are limited, and I am unable to help. Lord Shen, please seek assistance from someone more capable!"

If it were before, the old man would have dared to take action.

However, after learning that Li Xuancang was at the Tongxuan Realm, he avoided him like the plague.

Previously, he had been lurking in Ganquan County, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Li Xuancang for killing his wooden dragon.

When the news spread that Li Xuancang had already reached the Tongxuan Realm, he fled Ganquan County overnight, fearing that he would be caught by Li Xuancang if he was too late.

Sending him to deal with Li Xuancang now is practically sending him to his death.

Shen Chongyuan stared at the old man with a sinister look in his eyes and said coldly, "Don't forget, you still owe me a life. Now is the time to repay it."

A look of resentment flashed in Dugu Sha's eyes, but he was not too afraid of Shen Chongyuan.

"Does Lord Shen truly intend to force this old man?"

Shen Chongyuan said solemnly, "If Li Xuancang doesn't die, I will be the one who dies. You have to help me this time no matter what."

Shen Chongyuan knew Dugu Sha's strength; he could hold his own against a Tongxuan Realm expert for a few moves.

The evil cultivators' methods are endless and difficult to guard against. Only with his help was there a chance to kill Li Xuancang.

Dugu Sha suppressed his anger and said, "Even if the two of us join forces, it will be difficult to kill Li Xuancang."

Once you reach the Profound Realm, you can fly through the air. If you're determined to leave, it's almost impossible for you to stay.

"It's alright, I'll make sure Li Xuancang doesn't dare to leave."

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Chongyuan's eyes. He had already investigated and found out that he had a way to prevent Li Xuancang from escaping.

"Even so, if we try to kill Li Xuancang, we might all be dragged down with him and die together."

Dugu Sha really didn't want to fight to the death with someone at the Tongxuan Realm; his chances of survival were slim.

"Don't worry, I have helpers, the grassland people will also lend a hand."

Shen Chongyuan's words surprised Dugu Sha, who hadn't expected him to contact the grassland people without a word.

The Great Yan and the grasslands have been enemies for generations, and Shen Chongyuan's actions constitute treason and collusion with the enemy.

"You can send your companions here. Then the four of us will surround and kill him. Even if Li Xuancang has three heads and six arms, he will surely die."

Shen Chongyuan was filled with murderous intent and resolved to kill Li Xuancang.

If Li Xuancang is not killed as soon as possible, the entire Liangzhou will no longer be his domain.

He will also lose his original importance and will no longer be able to negotiate with the imperial court.

Dugu Sha hesitated for a moment, staring at Shen Chongyuan.

"This is the last time I'll help you. After this battle, we'll be even."

Dugu Sha had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action.

"Yes, we'll make our move in twenty days. We'll storm Ganquan County and catch Li Xuancang off guard."

They need time to wait for reinforcements to arrive, at which point they will storm their door and kill Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang was unaware that Shen Chongyuan was plotting to get rid of him, and he spent his time with his family.

After this battle, the grassland people dared not return for a while, and Ganquan County could live in peace for a period of time.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the news of Li Xuancang's breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm reached the imperial court, causing a huge sensation.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Great Yan region, shaking the entire world.

"Those at the Profound Realm are few and far between in the entire Great Yan Dynasty; they are truly pillars of strength!"

Many people muttered to themselves that the higher one's status and position, the more one understands the significance of the Profound Realm.

"The Tongxuan Realm is already a terrestrial immortal, capable of splitting mountains with a single palm and severing rivers with a single breath."

"How old is Li Xuancang? He's only in his early twenties and at the Tongxuan Realm. In our Great Yan, which Tongxuan Realm cultivator isn't a patriarch who has cultivated for a hundred years and is in charge of a region? What makes him... what makes him..."

An elderly monk with thick white hair and a vigorous spirit completely lost his composure and spoke incoherently.

As he spoke, his crying turned into loud laughter, and then he started crying again.

He became famous at a young age and has cultivated for nearly a hundred years, but in the end he is still hovering in the Gangqi Realm, which makes countless people envious.

But compared to Li Xuancang, his cultivation was a joke, something even he himself couldn't accept.

The old man was not the only one who went mad; many others were unable to accept the news and nearly suffered a breakdown of their spiritual resolve.

At Wenxin Academy, many students were discussing Li Xuancang.

"This Lord Li is truly terrifying. He has already reached the Profound Realm at such a young age. We are all ashamed of our own inferiority."

To become a disciple of Wenxin Academy already makes one a genius, but compared to Li Xuancang, they instantly pale in comparison.

Even these proud disciples had to bow their heads before Li Xuancang.

The Profound Realm was the realm they pursued their entire lives, and they didn't know if they would ever have the chance to reach it.

In a quiet courtyard of the academy, Lin Jingyan's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched so tightly they turned white.

"Li Xuancang, it's you again, it's you again..."

Lin Jingyan's forehead veins bulged, and he exuded a fierce aura, completely losing any semblance of the refined gentleman he once was.

Hearing constant news about Li Xuancang had completely caused this once-proud son of the academy to lose his composure.

"Li Xuancang, I will never lose to you."

Lin Jingyan was like a madman, gritting his teeth. He absolutely could not allow himself to lose to Li Xuancang.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching Yangzhou.

Yangzhou, Liu family.

Liu Wenyuan and Liu Qingyuan were playing chess in the garden when they heard the report. Their fingers paused, and the chess piece remained suspended in mid-air for a long time.

"The Profound Realm? How old is he?"

The clan elders looked at each other, their hearts filled with turmoil.

A single person at the Tongxuan Realm is comparable to the most prestigious aristocratic families in the world; one person can establish an entire aristocratic family.

If they had known earlier that Li Xuancang could break through to the Profound Realm, they would never have stood in the slightest.

Unfortunately, what's done is done, and it's too late to regret it now.

"Master, we can send someone to Ganquan County to propose a marriage alliance."

At the time, they were only discussing it internally, and outsiders were unaware of the inside story.

At this point, they could have taken the initiative to arrange a marriage alliance with Li Xuancang.

If they could form a marriage alliance with Li Xuancang, their family's position would be even more secure.
