Chapter 283: His Master is Even More Audacious

After breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm, Li Xuan's confidence soared. Feeling pleased, he called over Chi Cat and instructed it in the Great Demon Beast Martial Way, teaching it how to condense its demon beast primordial spirit and cultivate its divine abilities.

Once he was done instructing Chi Cat, Li Xuan, still in high spirits, raised his hand and, with a tap, transferred the Demon Taming Art to Yu Xiaolong, imparting the Great Demon Beast Martial Way.

"Cultivate diligently and break through as soon as possible!"

Yu Xiaolong was thrilled and hurried to kowtow in gratitude.

It had already obtained the Great Demon Beast Martial Way from Chi Cat, but found it challenging to comprehend. With Chi Cat's guidance, it barely managed to grasp the basics.

However, Li Xuan directly transmitted the demon beast techniques into Yu Xiaolong's consciousness using the Demon Taming Art, enabling it to instantly understand the cultivation method of the Great Demon Beast Martial Way.

After all, Yu Xiaolong was no ordinary beast; its intelligence had awakened long ago. Under Li Xuan's guidance through the Demon Taming Art, it was naturally able to quickly comprehend the demon beast techniques.

Li Xuan then used the Demon Taming Art to impart the Great Demon Beast Martial Way to Xiao Ha.

Chi Cat felt a slight pressure upon seeing this. It was afraid of being surpassed by Yu Xiaolong and Xiao Ha, as it aspired to become an undisputed Great Demon King. How could it allow its juniors to surpass it?

Thus, it became even more diligent in its cultivation, feeling slightly relieved that Yu Xiaolong and Xiao Ha's cultivation speeds were slower than its own.

Chi Cat then puffed up its chest proudly and strode over to Yu Xiaolong, wanting to show off its might as the Great Demon King. It extended a claw and *smack!* sent Xiao Ha tumbling to the ground.

"Ribbit!"

Xiao Ha let out a soft cry.

Chi Cat was satisfied. This frog, deep down, acknowledged it as its king. Good!

After flaunting its might, Chi Cat didn't forget to go to its master and act cute and obedient. Then, it went to please Su Lingxiu, emphasizing that it was a mighty Great Demon King outside but a cuddly fat cat indoors!

Li Xuan couldn't help but marvel at how his chubby tiger had become so cunning!

After attaining enlightenment in the Divine Ability Realm, Xu Yan was exhilarated. He had already comprehended the martial arts techniques and only needed to cultivate to enhance his strength.

"I've already understood the Divine Origin and Divine Ability Realms. Now, I'll strive to break through to the perfection of the Divine Will Realm."

Xu Yan thought excitedly.

After reaching the perfection of the Divine Will Realm, he would start planning how to accumulate a solid foundation and prepare for the breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm transformation.

"Although the Yu Shen Sect, Su family, and Dai family have many treasures, and my junior sister has refined quite a few pills, it's still insufficient if I want to accumulate a solid foundation for breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm.

"Especially high-grade treasures or those with unique divine effects, I'll have to go out and search for them."

Xu Yan had already started planning for the accumulation of his foundation.

While he had ample resources at hand, they were still inadequate for perfecting his foundation and breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm to transform himself. What he mainly lacked were treasures with specific divine effects.

"The higher the realm, the more is needed to build a solid foundation. Not only are higher-grade spiritual items required, but even spiritual herbs with special effects may be needed.

"However, with the vastness of the Spirit Domain and the numerous Spirit Sect families, accumulating a solid foundation shouldn't be too difficult. It will just take some time."

Xu Yan had made up his mind. After breaking through to the Divine Will Realm, he would leave Yuzhou and venture into the other states to prepare for the accumulation of his foundation.

Yuzhou was, after all, the weakest of the Eighteen States in the Spirit Domain, and the richest state was naturally where the Superlative Spirit Sect was located.

"I can't neglect martial arts tempering. Lu Xinting is too weak and can't provide sufficient sparring practice."

Xu Yan pondered that from then on, his opponents would have to be at the Refining Divinity Realm for him to even spare them a glance, even if they were prodigies!

The manor was like a utopia, secluded from the outside world.

After settling her grandfather in, Yue'er hurriedly went in search of Xu Yan, but she had been unable to find him for several days.

Now, what should she do?

"Could Xu Yan be hiding in the capital of Zhenguo? Or perhaps somewhere near the capital?"

Yue'er was anxious. According to her grandfather, a peak expert from the Thousand Martial Arts Palace would soon arrive in Yuzhou.

"Xu Yan, run! There's a peak expert coming to kill you!"

Yue'er was desperate and could only search while calling out loudly.

Her idea was simple: if Xu Yan had been paying attention to the outside world, her loud search for him would surely reach his ears.

Yue'er searched and shouted as she made her way from the capital of Zhenguo, her expression growing more and more anxious. By doing this, she was also exposing her and her grandfather's tracks.

"I'll search for one more day, and then I must stop. Otherwise, if we're targeted, my grandfather and I will be in danger."

Yue'er thought to herself.

She only hoped that Xu Yan would get the message, so she kept shouting as she traveled. In the capital of Zhenguo, many cultivators naturally heard her cries.

They were astonished beyond words. A peak expert was coming to kill Xu Yan?

And in the Spirit Domain, those who could be called peak experts were undoubtedly powerful beings from the Superlative Spirit Sect.

Which Superlative Spirit Sect peak expert was making a move? Since one of them was coming, how could Xu Yan possibly escape? Even the person backing him would undoubtedly die!

The battle between prodigies, with its heavenly might descending like a dragon, was awe-inspiring and breathtaking, stunning the crowd of onlookers.

However, in their fixed mindset, peak experts from the Superlative Spirit Sect were invincible and truly unparalleled.

Therefore, everyone believed that no matter how powerful Xu Yan's master was, he was definitely no match for a peak expert.

"Xu Yan, run! Flee to the distant Green Sea, and you might have a slim chance of survival. A peak expert is coming to kill you!"

Yue'er's figure flew by not far from the manor, her voice carrying far.

Everyone in the manor was startled.

Xu Yan's figure moved, and in an instant, he had left the manor.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow. Was that the little girl?

"A peak expert is coming to kill Xu Yan? Which Superlative Spirit Sect expert is it? Bullying the weak, huh? Right after breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm, I can just test out this so-called peak expert's might!"

Li Xuan smiled coldly in his mind.

Of course, seeing Yue'er shouting and searching for Xu Yan so publicly, he even suspected that the arrival of a peak expert was just an excuse.

An excuse to lure Xu Yan out?

"Could this little girl have taken a liking to Xu Yan?"

Li Xuan wondered curiously.

It wasn't strange for his top disciple, with his outstanding looks, monstrous talent, and formidable strength, to captivate such a girl.

Yue'er was about to head to the next big city when a figure suddenly appeared.

"Are you looking for me?"

Xu Yan asked, looking at Yue'er.

"Xu Yan!"

Yue'er was overjoyed. Xu Yan had appeared too quickly, and she had been lost in thought, almost crashing into his embrace. Fortunately, she managed to steady herself in time.

But she was still just a foot away from Xu Yan.

"It's me,"

Xu Yan nodded. "What do you want with me? How did you find out about the peak expert coming to kill me?"

"My grandfather told me. A peak expert from the Thousand Martial Arts Palace is coming to take your swordsmanship and even shamelessly claims that your master stole their secret teachings..."

Yue'er hurriedly explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan flew into a rage. "The Thousand Martial Arts Palace, huh? Fine, very good! I, Xu Yan, will remember this. How shameless can you be? I, Xu Yan, will use your Thousand Martial Arts Palace as my stepping stone to the peak of the Spirit Domain!

"I'll destroy your Thousand Martial Arts Palace and see who's shameless then!"

Yue'er: ...

That was the Superlative Spirit Sect! Had Xu Yan gone mad, wanting to use the Superlative Spirit Sect as his stepping stone?

Only by escaping far away to the Green Sea will you have a slim chance of survival!"

Although Xu Yan's boldness made Yue'er's heart flutter, she still urged him to escape quickly.

"Escape? What a joke!"

Xu Yan let out a cold laugh. "So a so-called peak expert is coming for me? Even if I'm no match for them, they are nothing but ants before my master."

However, Yue'er's concern was understandable. After all, she was an outsider who didn't know the extent of his master's power, which was akin to the existence of the Great Dao itself.

"Right, where is your grandfather? Why isn't he here with you?" Xu Yan asked.

Regardless, Yue'er had come with good intentions to deliver a warning, and he was grateful for that.

Yue'er's expression turned glum at his question, and she said, "My grandfather is badly injured. I fear he doesn't have many years left."

By the end of her sentence, Yue'er's eyes had turned red.

Once her grandfather passed away, she would be all alone in the world with no one to rely on.

"Injured? Bring your grandfather here. My junior disciple sister can heal him!" Xu Yan thought for a moment before suggesting.

"It's impossible. My grandfather's injury has affected his source, and there's no cure for that," Yue'er said sadly.

"Others may not be able to heal him, but my junior disciple sister can. Bring your grandfather here, and rest assured, this so-called peak expert is nothing to worry about!" Xu Yan assured, wanting to reciprocate the kindness shown by Yue'er and her grandfather.

Yue'er's grandfather had suffered such a severe injury, yet he still made sure to send her to deliver a warning. Regardless of the outcome, Xu Yan felt indebted to them. Moreover, since they were in need, he was happy to lend a helping hand.

Su Lingxiu had cultivated the Dao of Alchemy and Medicine, and despite her progress, she had never treated a severely injured cultivator, especially one with exceptional strength like Yue'er's grandfather.

This would be a perfect opportunity for Su Lingxiu to showcase her skills and gain some valuable experience in the process.

"Then I'll ask my grandfather," Yue'er said, her heart stirred by the possibility. She nodded and agreed, "I'll be right back!"

"I'll wait here for you," Xu Yan decided.

It was always wise to be cautious. What if she was leading him into a trap? To be safe, Xu Yan chose to wait here.

This place was close to the manor, so if any strong enemies showed up, his master could easily intervene.

"Alright!" Yue'er nodded and swiftly departed.

Not far from where Yue'er had hidden her grandfather, she rushed back and said, "Grandfather, I've found Xu Yan. He said he can bring you to someone who can treat your injuries."

Hearing this, Yue Changming let out a bitter laugh and said, "My injuries are beyond repair. Huang Liang will soon arrive in Yuzhou. Xu Yan, what do you say? Should we flee together?"

Yue'er thought for a moment and replied, "Xu Yan doesn't want to escape. His master is probably very strong and doesn't fear even the strongest experts."

Yue Changming's eyebrows furrowed, and he sighed. "His master is indeed powerful, I know that much. But I doubt they understand the true might of a Superlative Spirit Sect's peak expert.

"Nevertheless, let's go and meet him. I'll tell him about the fearsome strength of a Superlative Spirit Sect's peak expert!" Yue Changming said as he struggled to stand up.

His breath was weak, and his face was deathly pale, as if he could collapse at any moment.

Yue'er's eyes reddened, and she swore in her heart to take revenge for her grandfather. She supported her grandfather and left their hiding place. After a short while, they arrived before Xu Yan.

"His injuries are indeed severe!" Xu Yan was surprised by Yue Changming's condition.

The injuries were extensive, and what surprised him even more was that Yue Changming could still survive for a few years despite the heavy damage to his body.

"Xu Yan, my friend, I'm afraid there's no hope for my injuries. But I still want to advise you to flee quickly. Don't underestimate the might of a peak expert!" Yue Changming said, gasping for breath.

"It's a minor issue. Follow me, and despite your severe injuries, there's still a chance for a full recovery!" Xu Yan didn't waste time with unnecessary words, showing his appreciation for Yue Changming's good intentions.

As for the Superlative Spirit Sect's peak expert, in their eyes, such an expert was invincible. This was only because they were unaware of the true power of Xu Yan's master.

Seeing Xu Yan's unwavering confidence, Yue Changming could only hope to convince his master after meeting him.

Yue'er supported her grandfather and followed behind Xu Yan. Soon, they arrived at a dense forest. After Xu Yan landed, they entered a manor hidden within.

Yue'er was astonished. There hadn't been any sign of this manor from the outside.

"What is this place?" Yue Changming was equally shocked. No wonder they hadn't been able to find Xu Yan.

"Just a minor formation," Xu Yan explained nonchalantly.

"Formation?" Yue Changming mumbled to himself, intrigued by this unfamiliar concept. What exactly was this 'formation'? He was even more impressed by the means of Xu Yan's mysterious master.

Perhaps he could truly rival a peak expert from the Superlative Spirit Sect?

"Junior disciple sister, come and take a look. Can you heal him?" Xu Yan asked as they entered the manor, and Su Lingxiu and the others approached.

Li Xuan looked up and was surprised by the old man's condition. "He's in a terrible state. When I saw him before, he had a physical defect, an old injury, most likely caused by the collapse of a unique body constitution."

"It seems like his unique body has been completely destroyed, and his source has been damaged. It's impressive that he's still alive," Li Xuan thought.

"His spiritual body is gone!" Li Xuan mused.

He looked at Yue'er, who indeed had exceptional talent, a spiritual body constitution, and an extraordinary cultivation technique. No wonder she had reached the peak of the Great Heavenly Human stage at such a young age.

In terms of strength, she surpassed Lu Xinting.

"These injuries are severe, and his source has been damaged!" Su Lingxiu assessed the situation and was thrilled.

Ever since she started cultivating the Dao of Alchemy and Medicine, she had been eager to apply her knowledge.

"However, it's not a big problem. We can heal him, but it will be challenging because of his..." Su Lingxiu hesitated, trying to find the right words to describe Yue Changming's condition.

Li Xuan spoke up, "His spiritual body has collapsed, and his source has been lost."

Su Lingxiu nodded, "Yes, his unique body constitution has collapsed, and his source is gone. Restoring him to his previous state will be difficult!"

Yue Changming was stunned. Could his injuries really be healed?

Moreover, even though his spiritual body and source had been lost, there was still a chance for recovery, albeit a challenging one?

He looked at them in disbelief, thinking they were boasting.

Yue'er, on the other hand, was overjoyed. She grabbed Su Lingxiu's hand and asked excitedly, "Sister, can you really heal my grandfather?"

"Of course!" Su Lingxiu nodded confidently. "As long as he's still alive, we can heal him!"

"Thank you so much, Xu Yan, and thank you, Sister!" Yue'er was overjoyed and couldn't hold back her tears.

Yue Changming remained silent for a while before finally speaking to Li Xuan. "The Thousand Martial Arts Palace's peak expert, Huang Liang, is on his way to Yuzhou. In my opinion, it would be best to lie low for now."

Li Xuan waved off his concern casually. "It doesn't matter. They are but ants!"

Yue Changming: ...

At that moment, Yue Changming finally understood where Xu Yan's audacity came from. His master was even more outrageous!

It was like a family trait!

Moreover, Yue Changming's heart was filled with complex emotions. He, an ant, had inflicted such severe injuries on himself. What did that make him? Less than an ant?

He had come to persuade Xu Yan to flee, but now—Xu Yan didn't seem afraid at all and even considered a peak expert as insignificant. Yue Changming didn't know how to continue his
