“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached thirty-seven years old. Gacha started!”
“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner obtained [Amethyst] Flowing Color Sword, [Heavenly Soul] Frost Abyss Spirit Gatherer, Universal Attraction!”
The sword spirit’s voice resounded in Zhou Xuanji’s mind, repeating for him his gains for turning thirty-seven years old.
Two legendary swords!
And one of them was a Heavenly Soul legendary sword!
On top of that, he received another sword technique. This year’s gains were quite good.
Zhou Xuanji’s mood turned pleasant. Next, six lines of words appeared before his eyes.
Sword Name: Flowing Color Sword
Grade: Amethyst
Description: This sword was forged with ancient flowing color ore. Once it cuts the enemy, the flowing color poison will invade the enemy’s internal organs and corrode his or her cultivation.
…
Sword Name: Frost Abyss Spirit Gatherer
Grade: Heavenly Soul
Description: This sword gathers spiritual Qi and can freeze all things into a frost abyss. This sword is extremely powerful and must be used with care.
…
Seeing from the descriptions, the two legendary swords were very powerful and could greatly boost his power.
As for Universal Attraction, he did not receive it straightaway.
Instead, he took out the Holy Light Redemption Sword. He pierced the tip of the sword into his chest while the rest of the blade remained standing straight up.
At this moment.
A group of villages rushed into the hut. When they saw that the Holy Light Redemption Sword had pierced into Zhou Xuanji, they immediately became anxious.
“Immortal!”
Someone assassinated the immortal!”
“Be careful, there is an enemy!”
“Who did this?”
The villagers were furious and were about to help Zhou Xuanji pull out the sword.
“Don’t move,” Zhou Xuanji called out immediately, “This is my enchanted artifact!”
The villagers were stunned at his words and stopped what they were about to do.
Enchanted artifacts?
The expression in everyone’s eyes changed.
Zhou Xuanji did not lose his composure. If anyone dared to act recklessly, he could control his sword to kill that person.
However, he realized that his storage ring was still around, which meant that these villagers had no ill intentions.
An old man who stood at the front with a walking stick walked to the bed, trembling. He tried his best to open his clouded eyes and said, “Immortal, please help us exterminate a demon for our village. If you are not willing, our entire village will be devoured by that demon.”
Zhou Xuanji promised them, “Let me rest a few days, and I will help you kill the demon.”
If not for these villagers, he might have been eaten by demons already. It was the least that he could do.
He did not ask how powerful that demon was because he feared no demons in the world
Hearing Zhou Xuanji promise, the villagers were pleasantly surprised and expressed their gratitude.
After that, this group of people left, knowing that Zhou Xuanji needed to rest.
Zhou Xuanji continued to heal himself on the bed as he remembered Jiang Xue. He was not sure how the girl was doing, but he knew that she missed him.
However, with Daoya Old Man around, he believed that his companions would not act recklessly.
After that thought, he closed his eyes and began receiving Universal Attraction from the Sword Spirit.
A vast memory gushed into his mind.
A while later.
He had integrated the memory of Universal Attraction.
Universal Attraction was a sword technique that was not specialized in attacking.
However, its destructive power was not weaker than the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha.
It could attract everything toward the user.
If he were to stand before a city wall, the pulling power could tear down the entire city.
If he were to stand amidst a battlefield, he could pull all enemy soldiers to him, which was extremely domineering.
At the same time, the sword technique was controlled by the user’s spirit energy, which meant that he could choose the targets to pull toward him.
As for the range of Universal Attraction, it depended entirely on the user’s cultivation.
As long as he was powerful enough, he could even pull the sun toward him!
Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes in pleasant surprise.
Such an imposing sword technique!
If he were to use the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha and Universal Attraction simultaneously, he would be invincible!
Even if he doesn’t use the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha, he could still thrash his opponent with World Reincarnation and Universal Attraction.
He breathed rapidly, knowing that his power would greatly increase again.
But once he remembered Xuanyuan Zhou’s power of Heaven, the passion burning in his heart was doused with cold water.
He still could not defeat Xuanyuan Zhou with Universal Attraction.
The most important factor was still his own cultivation.
He took a deep breath and calmed down.
He had a feeling that Xuanyuan Zhou would not die just like that.
There was a saying that a disaster remains for a thousand years.
He stopped overthinking it and focused on recovering.
…
At Skyfall.
Jiang Xue found Daoya Old Man and said with gritted teeth, “We can only wait?”
A month passed.
Zhou Xuanji did not return and did not pass a message back. She worried about him every day and could not focus on cultivation.
“Believe in him. We cannot find him anyway. If he returns and you go missing, what then?”
Daoya Old Man comforted her. He was not sure in his heart either because the opponent was Tian after all.
Jiang Xue left with disappointment, her fists clasped tightly.
If Xian Xianghua were here, Daoya Old Man would surely not stop her.
He did not believe in Zhou Xuanji completely but because there was no other way.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Horror and sorrow filled her heart.
If something bad were to happen to Zhou Xuanji, there would be no meaning for her to stay alive.
At the mountain shoulder.
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and Meng Tianlang were teaching the second-generation disciples.
Meng Tianlang walked up to Xiao Jinghong and asked softly, “Why isn’t our master back yet? Could something bad have happened to him?”
During this period, they understood how horrifying Tian was from Ning Zifeng.
He had a bad feeling.
No matter how powerful Zhou Xuanji, how could he fight with Tian?
“He will be back.”
Xiao Jinghong cleaned his sword as he replied calmly. He was not worried about Zhou Xuanji.
Meng Tianlang was stunned. He wanted to say something but stopped.
Thinking about this carefully, it was not by pure luck that Zhou Xuanji lived until this day. He overcame many difficulties and defeated enemies much more powerful than him.
Today’s situation was not something he had never encountered before.
…
The moon descended while the sun rose.
After a day’s recovery, Zhou Xuanji could already walk. Spirit energy in his body began to restore, healing his vital channels, inner pellet, astral Infant, and his Dantian.
If this continued, he could restore his peak power within half a month
Other cultivators must re-cultivate their spirit energy after sustaining heavy injuries, but he did not need to do that because the Tianxia Map had already stored up an abundant reserve of spirit energy.
One morning.
A teenager sneaked into the wooden hut carefully.
He looked simple and honest with his tanned skin, yet his eyes showed a tinge of cunning.
He walked quietly to the bedside, and seeing that Zhou Xuanji was still sleeping, he thought of an idea. He knelt down straight away and kowtowed to Zhou Xuanji.
“Immortal, could you take me as your disciple, please? I want to protect my village.”
His voice was loud and determined.
Zhou Xuanji did not reply to him but pretended to be asleep.
The teenager did not get up and continued to kneel.
Time passed by the minutes and seconds.
Until noon.
The teenager’s leg turned numb, and his body was trembling. He looked like he would fall down at any moment.
“You are so weak,” Zhou Xuanji got up and said unpleasantly, “Yet you have the face to ask to become my disciple?”
The teenager looked up in fear.
Zhou Xuanji did not look at him but the sky outside the window. Dark clouds covered the sky, which was pervaded by demonic Qi.
“Interesting. So it’s him.”
Zhou Xuanji mumbled to himself with a playful expression.
The teenager looked back at the demonic cloud outside and was struck with great fear.
That evil demon is here again!
