Chapter 408: Innate Indestructible Sacred Body, Turbulence in the Heavens and Earth

Chapter 408: Innate Indestructible Sacred Body, Turbulence in the Heavens and Earth

Li Xuan remained unperturbed, sitting casually in his chair as if he hadn't just displayed his formidable power. He exuded the image of a profound and unfathomable master.

"Back to your business." Li Xuan stopped Da Yue Huang from expressing his gratitude further.

He glanced down at the long robe in his hand, the one worn by the assassin who had infiltrated undetected, even by Da Yue Huang. With a wave of his hand, Li Xuan gave the robe to Fang Hao, leaving him to study it.

"Keep working hard on your cultivation. You two are still too weak." Li Xuan sighed, a resigned expression on his face.

He knew he had to keep his disciples motivated and prevent them from becoming complacent or lazy.

"Yes, Master!" Su Lingxiu huffed angrily. She found Tian Sha Di Ying's attempt to assassinate her and her senior disciple despicable and unforgivable.

"Could Duan Xia Shan be the exposed power base of Tian Sha Di Ying?" Da Yue Huang's anger was uncontrollable. This matter could not be left unresolved.

Feng Yan was also seething. He had considered returning to Jiu Shan Jing to confront Duan Xia Shan, but what if more assassins appeared in his absence? He didn't want to miss out on an opportunity to prove his worth.

After bowing to Li Xuan, Da Yue Huang left to take care of the matter. Li Xuan didn't concern himself with the details of Da Yue Huang's next steps.

Now that they were aware of Tian Sha Di Ying's intentions, Da Yue Huang wouldn't do anything rash to provoke a conflict between Qing Hua Jing and Jiu Shan Jing.

With the current situation in Qing Hua Jing, it was important to maintain stability. The entire Qing Hua Jing martial arts world would continue to grow stronger, and starting a war or conflict would be unwise.

However, they couldn't afford to do nothing in response to the assassination attempt.

The attack on Fang Hao and Su Lingxiu was no longer just an issue for Da Yue Guo; it involved the three major powers of Qing Hua Jing and even the entire Qing Hua Jing martial arts world.

Of course, for the time being, it was best not to spread the news widely to avoid giving Tian Sha Di Ying an opportunity to create chaos.

After the assassination attempt, Fang Hao and Su Lingxiu began a period of secluded cultivation, striving to break through to the next level as soon as possible.

Facing an Immortal Venerable, they were all too aware of their own weaknesses.

The incident caused only a minor stir, and peace was quickly restored in Da Yue Guo. The Elixir Institute and the Qimen Institute resumed their usual operations.

Feng Yan dedicated himself to cultivating his divine abilities while also overseeing the gate.

Yue Changming and the others also began their arduous cultivation journeys.

"The Divine Realm is about to descend into chaos!" Li Xuan looked up, his gaze fixed on a certain area of the Divine Realm where the laws of heaven and earth were fluctuating violently, indicating impending turmoil.

"Let it be chaotic. Heroes rise in turbulent times, and it's about time for my disciples to showcase their talents. It will also create favorable conditions for Xu Yan and Meng Chong to rise to prominence." Li Xuan was indifferent to the impending chaos in the Divine Realm.

It was a concern for the powerful beings in that realm, not for someone like him who preferred to remain detached from worldly affairs.

The assassination attempt seemed to have caused no waves, but in reality, it was just the beginning of a storm.

The three major powers of Qing Hua Jing had sprung into action, tightening their control over Qing Hua Jing, especially the area where the Realm Gate was located. They even dispatched Immortal Venerables to oversee the region directly.

Furthermore, Da Yue Huang, the leader of Tian Wu Sect, and the leader of Wan Lei Zong personally investigated the Immortal Venerables within their respective factions to ensure none of them were affiliated with Tian Sha Di Ying.

The fact that two Immortal Venerables had been involved in the assassination attempt, one of them from Duan Xia Shan in Jiu Shan Jing, indicated how deeply Tian Sha Di Ying had infiltrated these organizations.

However, due to the relatively small size of Qing Hua Jing among the thirty-six realms and its connection to the Spirit Realm, it hadn't attracted much attention from Tian Sha Di Ying, and thus their infiltration wasn't as deep.

Small-scale disturbances occurred in various parts of Qing Hua Jing, but their impact was minimal. The martial arts world of Qing Hua Jing continued to thrive, with Sword Cultivators and Body Cultivators beginning to make their mark.

Fang Hao, studying the long robe he had obtained from the assassin, gained some insights.

"Master, this robe contains a peculiar aura similar to the laws of heaven and earth, but it's even more profound. What is it exactly?" Fang Hao asked, intrigued.

Li Xuan made a hand gesture, imprinting a thread of Dao Rule Melody onto a jade talisman. "This is a Dao Rule Melody. If you can comprehend it fully, you'll be able to send messages across the heavens and earth without any distance restrictions when crafting communication talismans."

This particular Dao Rule Melody was one of the many variations of the Grand Cyan Dao Rules that Li Xuan had been studying extensively lately.

"Yes, Master. I understand!" Fang Hao was delighted as he held the jade talisman and began to examine it closely.

"Little Ha, it's best if you don't return to Jiu Shan Jing just yet. The Realm Gate there might already be under their control, so it's better to wait a bit longer," Fang Hao advised Little Ha.

"Croak!" Little Ha nodded in agreement.

Li Xuan continued to delve into the Grand Cyan Book's outline, refining the Divine Manual of Martial Arts, and working towards his goal of three thousand divine abilities.

He also focused on perfecting the martial arts, divine abilities, and spirit weapons unique to the Extreme Spirit Martial Arts.

Unless something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be long before Jiang Buling reached the entry-level of Extreme Spirit Martial Arts.

Given that Jiang Buling was already a True King Immortal Venerable with an innate divine soul, his fusion with the Unchanging Qi after switching to Extreme Spirit Martial Arts would only make him stronger.

It was imperative to establish and refine the martial arts techniques unique to Extreme Spirit Martial Arts as much as possible.

"Your disciples Xu Yan and Meng Chong have slain eight True King Immortal Venerables, enhancing your understanding of martial arts." The Grand Daoist Gold Book provided feedback on Li Xuan's progress.

"Xu Yan and Meng Chong have joined forces? It seems they're taking revenge against Tian Sha Di Ying," Li Xuan mused, his eyebrows raised.

It was likely that Xu Yan and Meng Chong, having experienced pursuit by Tian Sha Di Ying themselves, were now retaliating.

"Jiu Shan Jing is probably going to descend into chaos. I wonder if the Immortal Venerables of Tian Sha Di Ying will take action personally?" Li Xuan pondered.

With Xu Yan's Yin-Yang Indestructible Sword Divine Ability, it would be difficult for ordinary Immortal Venerables to break through his defense with a single strike.

Moreover, given the speed of Xu Yan and Meng Chong, even Immortal Venerables might not be able to catch up with them.

"Let's wait and see. Xu Yan and Meng Chong aren't newcomers to the martial arts world. They know how to avoid crises and stay out of the way of powerful pursuers," Li Xuan said, turning his attention back to his own martial arts endeavors.

Even if top-tier Immortal Venerables took action, Xu Yan and Meng Chong had their life-saving talismans, ensuring they wouldn't face life-threatening situations. If the talismans were triggered, Li Xuan would make his way to Jiu Shan Jing.

"Your disciple Su Lingxiu has broken through to the Divine Appearance Realm, and your Profound Void Realm has reached minor completion." Su Lingxiu's breakthrough had a positive effect on Li Xuan's Elixir Martial Arts, pushing it to a new level.

"Your disciple Su Lingxiu has undergone a complete transformation, evolving into an Evergreen Sacred Body, and you have attained the Innate Indestructible Sacred Body." Su Lingxiu's breakthrough had also brought about a transformation in her body.

"My strength has increased again!" Li Xuan was overjoyed.

The Innate Indestructible Sacred Body seemed to imply an eternal and unyielding power.

"Even my primordial spirit has changed, exuding a sacred aura." Li Xuan noticed that his spiritual platform now carried an aura of indestructibility, and his primordial spirit seemed capable of purifying all evil and filth, immune to any dark or corrupt influences.

Following her breakthrough, Su Lingxiu began to cultivate divine abilities while consolidating her progress through secluded cultivation. She entrusted the affairs of the Elixir Institute to Yue'er and the others.

The Dan Yi Bao Dian (Pill Master's Handbook)

underwent another update and transformation, achieving another significant advancement.

Su Lingxiu's pill concoction techniques became even more extraordinary. She could now effortlessly gather the power of the heavens and earth's laws and seamlessly infuse them into her pills.

On this day, the pills that Da Yue Huang and the others had long awaited, which could increase the chances of breaking through to the Unbreakable Immortal Venerable realm, were finally about to be created.

The first thing Su Lingxiu did after emerging from seclusion was to refine pills that would aid in breaking through to the Unbreakable Immortal Venerable realm.

They were also a type of pill that enhanced one's divine appearance.

She combined several precious spiritual herbs, each with unique effects, in precise proportions, then infused them with the power of the heavens and earth's laws, creating pills of great power.

As the pills neared completion, Su Lingxiu further imbued them with a wisp of the essence of the heavens and earth, perfecting their formula.

These were the first pills Su Lingxiu had crafted using the Heavenly Spirit Flame and the Heavenly Spirit Furnace, along with her divine abilities and a hundred refinements.

Only three pills were successfully created.

As the pills took form, they were surrounded by pill auras, seemingly resonating with the heavens and earth, akin to the profoundness of a divine appearance.

They were like Unbreakable Immortal Venerables, existing in harmony with the heavens and earth.

"Finally, success!"

A smile appeared on Su Lingxiu's face.

Without hesitation, she consumed one of the pills. In an instant, she felt her recently attained realm strengthen, her power increase, and her martial arts divine appearance become more solid and formidable.

"According to my calculations, these pills should increase the chances of breaking through to the Unbreakable Immortal Venerable realm by fifty percent."

Su Lingxiu frowned slightly as she gave her assessment.

Such precious pills would naturally command a high price.

Su Lingxiu immediately began refining pills again, this time increasing the quantity to five.

When Da Yue Huang learned of this, he was overjoyed. With these pills, they could increase the number of Unbreakable Immortal Venerables! Each additional Unbreakable Immortal Venerable would greatly enhance Qing Hua Jing's strength.

Not just in Qing Hua Jing as a whole, but even within Da Yue Guo itself, there were numerous former prodigies who had stalled at the True King Immortal Venerable peak or the half-step Unbreakable Immortal Venerable realm, unable to progress further.

Now, with the aid of these pills, some of them would surely break through to the Unbreakable Immortal Venerable realm.

Even if those who relied on the pills to break through were slightly weaker, they were still Unbreakable Immortal Venerables, far surpassing True King Immortal Venerables and those at the half-step Unbreakable realm.

Upon hearing the news, the sect leaders of Tian Wu Men and Wan Lei Zong personally rushed over.

Moreover, the three major forces tacitly agreed to keep this matter a secret, especially from Tian Sha Di Ying, the hidden force that continued to lurk in the shadows, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Next, they naturally discussed the price of the pills. The spiritual herbs required for pill concoction would be provided by the three major forces, and according to Su Lingxiu's conditions, five portions of spiritual herbs would be exchanged for one pill.

After all, there was always a chance of failure in pill concoction.

Da Yue Huang and the other two leaders didn't dare to haggle, immediately agreeing to her terms.

The spiritual herbs needed for pill refining were indeed rare and precious, ensuring that a large number of pills couldn't be created in a short period.

Moreover, Su Lingxiu's pill refining depended on her mood, and she didn't spend all her time on it.

Regardless, this transaction left everyone satisfied.

Not long after Su Lingxiu's breakthrough, Fang Hao's Qimen martial arts also improved, his realm reaching a level comparable to the divine appearance realm.

"Turmoil is stirring in the Divine Realm once more."

Li Xuan suddenly looked towards a certain area, where the laws of heaven and earth were fluctuating violently.

"Great chaos brings great change. It seems the heavens and earth are undergoing some transformation."

Li Xuan frowned slightly.

With his Heavenly Dao Eye, he could perceive subtle changes in the heavens and earth, and these fluctuations clearly originated from the turmoil in the Divine Realm.

And this turmoil was undoubtedly the work of Tian Sha Di Ying.

"It seems Jiu Shan Jing is about to descend into chaos as well."

Li Xuan turned his gaze towards Jiu Shan Jing, and from such a close distance, he could see the laws of heaven and earth in turmoil, as if a great battle was about to erupt.

"However, these are but minor matters."

Li Xuan smiled indifferently and withdrew his gaze, intending to continue studying the Grand Cyan Book. Suddenly, his expression turned solemn.

He looked up at the sky, and in that moment, he saw the heavens tremble as the power of the Dao was suddenly stirred.

Dong!

It was as if an invisible sound reverberated through the heavens and earth.

Even Da Yue Huang, a top-tier Unbreakable Immortal Venerable, didn't seem to notice this sound, but Li Xuan had heard it clearly.

In his eyes, the entire Divine Realm seemed to be rippling like waves.

"What's happening in the heavens and earth? Could it be that a supremely powerful being is about to descend upon the Divine Realm? No, that can't be right. How could such an event be kept hidden?"

Li Xuan's brows furrowed in confusion.

The turmoil in the heavens and earth of the Divine Realm only lasted for a moment before disappearing, but in that brief moment, it was as if a force was trying to break through the barrier of the Divine Realm and enter it.

"This turmoil isn't significant, and it poses no threat to me. Even if I can't shatter it with one punch, two punches will surely do the trick. It's a minor issue."

After assessing the situation, Li Xuan returned to his calm and unperturbed state.

Regardless of what had caused the momentary turmoil in the heavens and earth, the power behind it was still insufficient to pose a threat to him.

"This Grand Cyan Heaven and Earth is becoming more and more interesting. Why do I always feel that there's a hidden hand plotting something?"

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

A few days later...

Dong!

The heavens and earth trembled once more, and just like the previous time, Li Xuan glanced at it and then continued studying the Grand Cyan Book's outline.

Three days later, it happened again.

Then, for the next half month, there was no more turmoil, and the Divine Realm seemed to have returned to its peaceful state.

"It seems a great battle is about to erupt in Jiu Shan Jing. Hmm, what's this...?"

Li Xuan looked towards Jiu Shan Jing and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a presence from outside the heavens and earth entering Jiu Shan Jing.

In the past, he might not have been able to detect it, but now, with his Heavenly Dao Eye and his familiarity with the Grand Cyan Heaven and Earth, he immediately noticed it.

"So, Tian Sha Di Ying is willing to invite external forces for their own purposes, huh. How despicable."

Li Xuan sighed.

Although Xu Yan and Meng Chong were in Jiu Shan Jing, Li Xuan wasn't worried about them at all.

In a certain place in the Divine Realm...

Wu Tiannan had already reached the True King Immortal Venerable realm, and his strength was at the pinnacle among his peers.

He had also cultivated three divine abilities.

At this moment, Wu Tiannan's brows were furrowed as he felt that his luck had been exceptionally good lately.

Moreover, ever since he arrived in the Divine Realm and successfully cultivated his divine abilities, his martial arts cultivation had become smoother and faster.

"Why is this happening?"

Wu Tiannan was puzzled.

He looked at the unkempt old man lying on a large stone, his hair disheveled and his beard untrimmed, and a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes.
