Chapter 1 Rebirth

  Bali Ming, who was knocked flying, drew an arc in the air and landed on his back, his eyes filled with bloodshot, looking at Chen Xuan like a wild beast.

  He pulled out a large knife from his ring, with a blade two meters long and a handle one meter long. The entire knife was three meters long in total.

  "You little brat, I'm going to chop you up."

  "Look, Bari Ming has even brought out his mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Tyrant Blade. It seems that this kid's strength is indeed not bad, and it wasn't just a lucky sneak attack earlier."

  "Taste my soul-reaping, life-taking blade, Flame Dance Heaven Piercer."

  A huge blade mixed with a fireball hacked towards Chen Xuan, the power of this blade was enough to split the air in half. In just one breath, the blade attacked above Chen Xuan's body, ready to split him in two.

  "If you deliver it right to my doorstep, then I won't be polite."

  He drew his sword, and a red light flew towards Bali Ming's fireball.

  "Zzz..."

  Balimon's long sword appeared with a corroded sound.

  "Not good."

  Bali Ming went back to retrieve his own Overlord Sword.

  Bali Ming retracted his long knife, and dense small dots appeared on the knife. The spiritual energy of the knife was absorbed by one-third, and the overall quality of the knife also dropped by half, becoming a low-grade spiritual instrument. Looking at his own knife being destroyed by Chen Xuan, Bali Ming was so angry that he wanted to tear Chen Xuan apart.

  "Big brother, this kid's knife is suspicious, let's go together, I want to take his knife as compensation for my knife."

  Bali Ming said to the man who came up with him.

  "Stop."

  At this moment, a loud shout came from one of the stone gates.

  "Baliming, you can't even handle a mid-stage Spiritual Warrior, yet you still want to team up with me? Are you taking advantage of the fact that there's no one else on Mount Liushan?"

  At this time, more than four or five people came over with Chao Chenxuan.

  "Brother Pei, Brother Shi, Sister Wang, Brother Lu, why are you all here?"

  Pei Wenliang is still so cheerful and came over to Chen Xuan's place.

  "Chen Xuan, it's only been a month since we last met, and your strength has already caught up with ours. You're really too abnormal."

  "Let me introduce you, this is our senior brother Ye Yun from Lian Shan Peak." Several people introduced Chen Xuan.

  "Have seen Big Brother."

  Chen Xuan discovered that Ye Yun's strength was unfathomable and at least half a step into the True Martial realm when they walked over.

  "Well, they all came back and told me about you. You're really impressive, reaching the middle stage of Spiritual Martial Arts in just a short month. That's a talent that comes along only once in a hundred years."

  "What happened between you two, why did Bali Ming want to attack you, and how did you end up fighting in the Xuanyuan Tower?" Ye Yun asked.

  Chen Xuan recounted what had just happened, saying that he had already obtained the qualification to cultivate in the Xuanyuan Tower, but this person named Bali Ming wanted to forcibly take away his cultivation qualification. He disagreed, so they started fighting.

  "Leave the rest to me." Ye Yun said.

  Chen Xuan was too lazy to wipe his own butt, and since someone else would take the lead for him, why not just go along with it.

  "Ba Liming, you two brothers actually disregarded the sect's rules and disrupted the cultivation order. Chen Xuan originally obtained the qualification to cultivate in the Xuanyuan Tower before you two, yet you still want to openly snatch it from him. One of you isn't a match for him, so you want to join forces? Are you looking down on us, thinking that Lian Shan Peak has no one?"

  Ye Yun and Chong Baliming shouted in unison.

  "Yeyun, others may fear you, but we two brothers do not. Don't think that just because you're the senior brother of Lian Shanfeng, we are no match for you. Wait until our senior brother comes out of seclusion, with just one finger he can crush you to death. Last year you lost to our senior brother's hand, and this year our senior brother will be even closer to achieving True Martial Realm."

  "Go back and tell Luoyun Fei that I will defeat him at the Grand Competition this year. Now you can leave." Ye Yun said coldly.

  It seems that this time there is no chance of practicing in the fifth floor of the Xuan Huang Tower.

  "Let's go, we're going to the fourth floor." The two of them went downstairs with a gloomy look.

  At this time, all the onlookers also closed the stone gate, and the entire fifth floor was left with only Chen Xuan and a few others.

  "Chen Xuan, tell me, how did you improve so quickly in just one month? I spent a whole year constantly practicing to reach from the early stage of Lingwu to the middle stage."

  Chen Xuan briefly told them about his experiences on the Tianmo Battlefield, and they chatted together for half a time.

  "Chen Xuan, this time's big competition, I heard that the top ten or so have a special reward, so this time our Lian Shan Peak's disciples are mostly in closed-door training, striving to get one of the top ten spots. These are some messages revealed by Peak Master, hoping that this time we also have a disciple who can enter the top ten. Last time I lost to Lu Yunfei, and not a single disciple from our Lian Shan Peak entered the top ten, only me ranking 14th, so in the end our Lian Shan Peak ranked 14th."

  "Alright everyone, let's seize the time to cultivate and strive for a breakthrough in the last month." Ye Yun said to everyone.

  Everyone returned to their own practice room, Chen Xuan and Yi Yunsheng also entered their respective practice rooms. Chen Xuan input 50,000 task points into the spiritual stone on the stone door, and a keyhole appeared on the stone door.

  "Big Brother Dài, you can cultivate here, this is a one-month task point. You strive to break through the Líng Wǔ realm, otherwise those disciples from Dòu Líng Peak will still come looking for trouble."

  "Chen Xuan, this time it's all because of me that you've gotten into so much trouble. Don't worry, I will definitely break through to the Spiritual Martial Realm." Yun Sheng said.

  "This has nothing to do with you, I will trample Ling Feng under my feet sooner or later, hurry up and go in."

  Inner door disciples who want to practice on the fifth floor have to do many tasks in order to exchange for enough task points. Chen Xuan took out 50,000 task points and said that if he was going to give them away, he would just give them away. If other inner door disciples were to find out, it would be unbearable.

  Chen Xuan took out the key and inserted it into the hole in the stone gate, which automatically opened. A thick aura of spiritual energy poured out, with a concentration several times higher than outside. The interior was spacious, with its own training arena for martial arts practice. This way, he could also cultivate his skills here, striving to master the Spiral Slash before leaving, giving him an extra trump card in the upcoming competition.

  Since entering the Xuan Huang Tower, Chen Xuan had taken out the tripod furnace from his dantian. The tripod furnace frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of the Xuan Huang Tower and sent it all back to Chen Xuan, with a rate of intake several dozen times faster than outside.

  Chen Xuan's current spiritual power is also growing rapidly, and it has been five months now. Outside, only half a month has passed, but this mysterious yellow energy is truly wondrous, as if it has its own time rule. Now his strength has increased by four or five times compared to when he first came in. The spiritual power in his dantian has begun to liquefy.

  However, it is still far from meeting the requirements of breaking through the late stage of Lingwu. This is related to the cultivation in the Xuanhuang Tower. If I were outside, I don't know how long it would take to reach my current level. To break through the late stage of Lingwu, it will take several years for me to achieve it myself.

  It seems that the Tianyi Decree has brought a powerful dantian and spiritual energy, but the demand for dantian is also enormous, comparable to the sum of several tens of ordinary Lingwu realms. If this were to be said out loud, it would scare at least one group of people to death - how can one person contain the spiritual energy of dozens of people?

  These few months have also summarized the battles of this period, and the understanding of martial arts is deeper than before. All martial arts are now at Chen Xuan's fingertips, and the Four Instruments Array has been improved, creating a second move, the Four Wheels of Reincarnation, with a power comparable to his own Seven Kills Sword's second slash, Slash Empty.

  Time is passing quickly, and with each breath, Chen Xuan absorbs a large amount of spiritual energy into the cauldron. The spiritual power in his dantian has also reached its peak, and all he needs is an opportunity to break through to the late stage of Spiritual Martial Arts. With two months left, I'll focus on practicing my Spiral Slash, striving to achieve mastery by the time of the gathering.

  Two months have passed in a flash, today is the day I've been here for a full month, it's time to go out, Spiral Slash has already brought me infinitely close to the Great Vehicle.

  Pushing open the stone gate, Chen Xuan walked out. The Ling Stone on the stone gate also began to lose its luster. It was time, Chen Xuan had come out, and Sai Yunsheng had emerged a little earlier than Chen Xuan.

  "You have reached the Spiritual Martial Realm." As soon as he came out, Chen Xuan saw that Yi Yunsheng was already waiting for him.

  "In just two months, you've broken through and your realm has also stabilized. How is it that even after I broke through to the Spiritual Martial Realm, I still can't see through your strength? Your strength has increased so much this time." Yunsheng exclaimed in surprise.

  "This time, although the boundary was not broken through, the strength also improved slightly. Today should be the day when the sect's grand competition starts signing up, we will go and sign up too. Let's go, let's go out." Chen Xuan said as he walked downstairs.
