A Chaotic World 51 Xihuang Yuanfeng

This difference in behaviour meant that the activation of Slaughter Essence particles would definitely differ from that of Spiritual Essence particles as well.

Because Lu Tianzi's cultivation of the Spiritual Essence system was at a far higher realm than his Slaughter Essence system, he had never even thought about driving his Slaughter Essence before today.

However, since Lu Tianzi had already successfully established a foundation for the Slaughter Essence cultivation system, he believed that it must definitely be possible for him to drive his Slaughter Essence as well.

It was fine when he did not think about it.

But now that he did, Lu Tianzi not only wanted to succeed in driving his Slaughter Essence, but he also wanted to be able to do so with ease equivalent to when driving his Spiritual Essence!

Lu Tianzi closed his eyes as he focused on the Slaughter Essence particles within his inner world.

He took his time, slowly feeling the existence of every Slaughter Essence particle in his inner world, reaching out to them with his perception.

The elderly demon frowned as Lu Tianzi suddenly fell silent.

He waited for a long while, but Lu Tianzi remained stationary without a word. This caused the elderly demon to become slightly unhappy, thinking that Lu Tianzi was simply ignoring him.

Just as he was able to speak, the elderly demon suddenly felt a surge of energy rise up from within Lu Tianzi.

The surge of energy was not overwhelming by any means, but it was no doubt born of the Slaughter Essence cultivation system.

Sensing that, the elderly demon's eyes widened in shock!

Even though he had sounded sure of himself earlier, even he had doubts that Lu Tianzi was actually cultivating two separate cultivation systems.

But he was actually right about this!

This man before him was indeed cultivating in both the Spiritual and Slaughter Essence systems!

How could there be such a person in this world?

But… why was this energy so weak?

The elderly demon took a closer look at Lu Tianzi and could not help but sigh in disappointment.

Primary Essence Building realm?

After he realised that Lu Tianzi had already reached the Peak Essence Building realm in the Spiritual Essence system at such a young age, the elderly demon had subconsciously been looking forward to seeing his attainments in the Slaughter Essence system as well.

However, it turned out to be a far cry from Lu Tianzi's Spiritual Essence system.

That was to be expected as well.

After all, Lu Tianzi looked to be no more than seventeen years old.

Just reaching the Peak Essence Building realm at the age of seventeen was already quite an achievement. If Lu Tianzi had been able to progress at such a rapid speed for both cultivation systems, then he would truly be a monster!

Even so, the elderly demon could sense a large amount of Slaughter Essence within Lu Tianzi, far more than what should have been accumulated within a Primary Essence Building realm martial artist.

After thinking about it a little more, the elderly demon finally nodded in understanding.

"You can stop now." the elderly demon spoke. "How old are you?"

"Reporting to senior, junior is fifteen," Lu Tianzi answered truthfully.

The elderly demon frowned as he suffered yet another shock, but this time he managed to quickly compose himself so that Lu Tianzi would not notice.

To think that Lu Tianzi was even younger than he had expected!

Could he actually be a genius martial artist?

If so, what would happen if such a talent focused on cultivating the Slaughter Essence system instead?

It might even be possible for this brat to become strong enough to be able to help him in the future if he was given the time to grow!

"What is your name?" the elderly demon asked again.

"Junior's name is Lu Tianzi."

The elderly demon let out a smile as he heard that, "You are a human, aren't you?"

Lu Tianzi immediately froze, his mind racing as he tried to think about what to say next.

"You don't have to answer. Just know that I have already formed my own judgement. In the end, whether you are human or demon does not matter. What matters is that you are able to cultivate the Slaughter Essence system, and are an individual of talent," the elderly demon continued without waiting for Lu Tianzi's answer.

"Senior's meaning is?" Lu Tianzi matched the elderly demon's gaze in surprise.

The elderly demon gazed at him meaningfully.

Without warning, a powerful and majestic aura suddenly burst out from within the elderly demon!

This aura only casually swept over Lu Tianzi, yet it still applied an intense pressure on his mind that sought to bend his will.

At this moment, the elderly demon seemed to be the lord of this world.

All that lived had to bow before him!

Lu Tianzi was completely shocked by this sudden display of strength from the elderly demon!

Even though Lu Tianzi's will was already stronger than most of his peers, he was still forced to drive his Spiritual Essence in order to guard his will. Lu Tianzi knew that if he did not do so, his will would definitely crumble in no time.

When that happened, he would be forced to his knees by this overwhelming aura, involuntarily expressing his deference towards the supreme being before him!

"Hahaha! To think that you are actually still able to remain standing! This alone is sufficient to attest to your mental resilience. Well done! The heavens have not forsaken me! After so many years have passed, they finally sent you to me!" the elderly demon laughed boisterously before continuing.

"I, Xihuang Yuanfeng, shall grant you this rare opportunity to take me as your master! As long as you follow my teachings well, I will definitely make sure that you become one of the strongest people ever to walk this world!"

As the elderly demon finished his words, he simultaneously retracted the aura that he had been emitting, releasing Lu Tianzi from his agony.

Even though falling to the elderly demon's aura was not as tormentous as when Lu Tianzi suffered from his killing intent earlier, it was still sufficient to leave Lu Tianzi feeling weak all over as he desperately gasped for breath.

While Lu Tianzi was still trying to recover, the elderly demon's words continued to ring out in his head.

The elderly demon wanted to take him as a disciple?

He even promised to make him one of the strongest ever to walk this world?

Lu Tianzi's mind raced as he tried to process this information.

There was no doubt that the elderly demon was far stronger than anyone he had ever faced, perhaps even more so than Hu Yuanbo!

If Lu Tianzi really could receive the teachings of such an expert, then his future progress would definitely be endless!

However, was there truly such a good thing in this world?

Xihuang Yuanfeng continued sitting there as he waited patiently for Lu Tianzi to slowly recover from his wretched state of repeated coughing. Finally, Lu Tianzi turned his gaze up to look him in the eye.

"What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and kowtow to your master!" Xihuang Yuanfeng smiled in satisfaction as he watched Lu Tianzi.

In Xihuang Yuanfeng's heart, Lu Tianzi was already his disciple.

However, Lu Tianzi remained unmoving, watching him with hesitation.

"Please pardon junior for not being able to agree."

Lu Tianzi's unexpected response caused Xihuang Yuanfeng to frown in displeasure.

"Why?" Xihuang Yuanfeng answered coldly.

"Senior might be strong, but how many years have senior stayed in this cave? If junior really become senior's disciple, doesn't that mean junior have to remain in this cave along with senior? Junior truly doesn't think that such a life would suit me," Lu Tianzi spoke while he watched the elderly demon carefully.

He was trying to test the elderly demon, but at the same time he was also afraid of angering the elderly demon. After all, there was nothing he could do to save himself should the elderly demon choose to kill him.

"You are actually rejecting my invitation for you to take me as a master over such a stupid reason?" Xihuang Yuanfeng had to repeat Lu Tianzi's words to make sense of it. "Do you know how many people out in this world would kill to become my disciple? Yet you are actually throwing away such a rare chance?"

"Then why don't senior go take one of those people as senior's disciple? Why choose junior instead?" Lu Tianzi retorted.

"Tch! If I am able to leave this cave, of course I would not choose to remain in here either! When I return to the outside world, the world's elites would be queuing up to serve me! When that time arrives, you will definitely regret this decision today!" Xihuang Yuanfeng clicked his tongue in irritation.

"Senior is unable to leave?" Lu Tianzi's eyes widened in surprise. "With senior's strength, what could possibly stop senior from leaving?"

"Do you have holes for eyes? Those ancient runes on the walls in this chamber are not there just for show! They are part of a sealing formation, forcing me to remain within this chamber!" Xihuang Yuanfeng was starting to slowly lose his dignified bearing as he grew more and more agitated.

"Those ancient runes are actually part of a sealing formation…" Lu Tianzi felt his heart tremble in trepidation.

The elderly demon was already such a powerful expert.

Just what kind of character was able to set up this sealing formation to trap him here?

"Damn brat! Why are you so stubborn?" Xihuang Yuanfeng cursed. "If you actually had proper guidance for your cultivation, I might just accept that you are a frog in a well, having holes for eyes. However, you are obviously lacking in any form of proper instructions whatsoever! The Slaughter Essence within your body is in a terrible mess! If you continue at this rate, you will just be wasting all that talent that you got by sheer luck!"

Hearing that, Lu Tianzi's eyes sharpened in focus.

"If senior doesn't think that junior is doing things right, why don't senior broaden this junior's horizons by showing me some guidance?"

"Hahaha! You don't wish to take me as your master, yet here you are asking me to show you guidance on your cultivation. Is there such a good thing in this world? How shameless can you get?" Xihuang Yuanfeng sneered.

"Without knowing of senior's methods, how would this junior be convinced?" Lu Tianzi replied.

Xihuang Yuanfeng was stumped by Lu Tianzi's reply, momentarily unable to find the words to answer. Instead, he chose to close his eyes once more as he fell into contemplation.

Indeed, even though he was a supreme expert, what would this brat who was not even at the Essence Condensation realm understand about his strength?

Unless he revealed some advantages to this brat, there was probably no way that this brat would be convinced. After all, this was still the first time they met!

If this brat really refused his offer and left, then who knew how long he would have to wait this time before another person with similarly high talent entered the cave?

"Fine! Even though your motives are obvious, I shall relent this time," Xihuang Yuanfeng finally said.

With a wave of his hands, one of the shelves beside the bed opened up. A jade slip flew out from within and straight into Lu Tianzi's hands.

"This is…" Lu Tianzi looked at the jade slip in his hand, not knowing what to do with it.

At this moment, Xihuang Yuanfeng snorted unhappily and spoke.

"Damn ignorant brat. Have you never seen a jade slip before? Sink your perception into the jade slip, and you shall know that I am not lying when I say I can make you one of the strongest that walked this world!"
