Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Xuanwu’s Farewell
The soil city was silent.
Xuanwu stood on the city wall, stunned for a long time, unable to believe that Xu Nian had actually unleashed such a powerful attack.
Even if this attack struck him, he would undoubtedly die.
He now understood that the progress Xu Nian made in fifteen days was not merely the two-level profound argumentation.
Xue Fu was equally shocked, speechless for a long time, staring blankly at the huge pit, feeling a mixture of emotions.
As for those who claimed Xu Nian couldn’t win, they silently shut their mouths, daring not to say a word.
After Xu Nian blasted Luangu, he noticed changes in the ranking on his scorecard.
A direct addition of over ten million points, his ranking rose to fifteenth place.
When Xu Nian returned to the soil city, everyone automatically made way for him.
Xu Nian, in their eyes, was a super powerful figure, commanding their awe and reverence.
"Senior, this is the score I used previously, thank you for your support," Xu Nian allocated his score to Xuanwu.
Xuanwu accepted it without refusing, naturally accepting it.
"What are your plans now?" Xuanwu asked Xu Nian with a smile.
He felt a bit emotional because fifteen days ago, Xu Nian was still a junior far less powerful than him.
But now, Xu Nian had surpassed him in strength, making him feel a bit uncomfortable as an old-timer who had lived for nearly a thousand years.
"The time is about right, I plan to further comprehend the earth attribute pulse defense in the next few days, striving for a breakthrough to the seventh level pulse defense. Five days later I will leave the slaughter world to prepare for the Immortal Order Competition," Xu Nian said.
"Alright, five days later, I’ll let Xue Fu go with you, is that okay?" Xuanwu said.
"Of course I have no objections, but it depends on whether Sister Xinxin is willing," Xu Nian replied with a smile and then glanced at Xue Fu.
"Hmph!" Xue Fu snorted coldly but didn’t refute.
She was now completely convinced by Xu Nian’s strength, and the reason for her cold snort was just to avoid losing face too much.
Seeing this, Xu Nian laughed.
In fact, this Xue Fu was quite cute; at least Xu Nian truly saw her as a sister.
"Meteor, to be honest, I have a purpose in letting Xinxin go with you, it concerns Xinxin’s identity," Xuanwu said.
"Grandpa!" Xue Fu said impatiently, stomping her foot and walking away.
"Senior, please speak quickly, if I can help in any way, I will do my best," Xu Nian said.
He could naturally see that Xuanwu had something he wanted to ask of him.
Hearing Xu Nian’s words, Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction and then said, "Actually, Xinxin and I both come from Tianhan Star Domain, but we are not demon beasts, we are from the ancient spirit race of Tianhan Star Domain."
"Ancient spirit race?" Xu Nian’s face showed confusion.
"The so-called ancient spirit race is a race formed by the combination of humans and demon beasts. This race possesses demon beast bloodlines but is rejected by both the demon clan and the human clan," Xuanwu explained.
Xu Nian nodded.
If they truly were descendants of demons and humans, being rejected by both major clans wouldn’t be impossible.
"Actually, Xue Fu is considered the spirit princess, but a disaster befell the ancient spirit race a hundred years ago, and the spirit race fell into the hands of villains, leading Xinxin to have to leave the family. Once Xinxin appears within the Tianhan Star Domain, she will be pursued by the demon clan," Xuanwu sighed.
Xu Nian’s brows furrowed, surprised that Xue Fu was actually a spirit princess.
"What does Senior wish the junior to do?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"I want you to help me send Xinxin back to the Tianhan Star Domain and assist Xinxin in returning to the spirit race. Only by doing this can Xinxin awaken the powerful bloodline within her and once again rule the spirit race," Xuanwu said.
"That’s not a problem. If Senior trusts me, let Sister Xinxin come with me, I will definitely send her back to the spirit race," Xu Nian said with a smile.
He was planning to visit Tianhan Star Domain to find the Beast God’s daughter anyway.
Since that was the case, he might as well bring Xue Fu along.
"You really agreed? The demon clan’s pursuit will surely be fierce, even if you have earth immortal peak level strength, it will be very dangerous," Xuanwu said in surprise.
He didn’t expect Xu Nian to agree so readily.
But Xu Nian just laughed: "Senior, don’t worry, as long as I am not dead, I will definitely safely send Sister Xinxin back to the spirit race. I know this journey will be very dangerous, but it’s not that easy for the junior to die."
Hearing Xu Nian say this, Xuanwu also felt reassured.
He knew Xu Nian was not someone who spoke boastfully, daring to make such a promise, it naturally wasn’t just empty talk.
Actually, Xu Nian had truly thought it through that after the Immortal Order Competition, he would fuse his true self and two avatars together and then head to Tianhan Star Domain together.
With his true self’s Nine Dragons Supreme Body and the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar, it was enough to suppress many demon clans.
Plus, he also had the army trump card of the Void Mother Empress, even if the situation worsened, he could hide in the Chaos Divine Palace.
It could be said that wanting to kill Xu Nian was almost impossible.
"Thank you!" Xuanwu said gratefully.
"Senior, that’s too kind. Without your guidance and support, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat Wan Gu," Xu Nian quickly gestured with his hand.
Xuanwu smiled slightly, feeling increasingly glad about his previous decision.
"By the way, I have an immortal pill here that should help you break through to the late-stage Gang Immortal Realm. I hope it will be useful to you," Xuanwu said.
Then he took out an immortal pill and handed it to Xu Nian.
"Eh, is this the Drunk Immortal Pill?" Xu Nian’s face showed a surprised expression.
The Drunk Immortal Pill is extremely precious to body cultivators.
Although this Drunk Immortal Pill is a low-grade pill, its effects are not weaker than mid-grade immortal pills.
With this Drunk Immortal Pill, it was enough for him to breakthrough from the middle-stage Gang Immortal Realm to the late-stage Gang Immortal Realm.
"Yes, this is the Drunk Immortal Pill, take it, it’s useful for you but not too significant for us spirit cultivators," Xuanwu said.
"Then I will accept it with gratitude," Xu Nian said, nodding, and he did not hesitate anymore, directly storing the Drunk Immortal Pill.
After chatting with Xuanwu for a few sentences, he left.
In the following days, Xu Nian immersed himself in refining pills and comprehending pulse defense.
Five days passed quickly.
Xu Nian’s cultivation naturally broke through to the late-stage Gang Immortal Realm.
As for the comprehension of seven-level pulse defense, it was still slightly lacking.
But with Xuanwu’s guidance, his comprehension was just a step away.
As long as he takes this step, he can truly breakthrough the seventh level.
"Xinxin, follow Brother Xu Nian, and make sure to listen to Brother Xu Nian, understand?" Xuanwu warned Xue Fu.
"Got it, so much nonsense, and when do you plan to find me?" Xue Fu said, frowning.
Xuanwu didn’t speak, showing a look of reluctance.
"Old man, are you seriously thinking of going back to the spirit race alone? I forbid you from doing so, do you hear me!" Xue Fu immediately shouted, her eyes quickly reddening.
But Xuanwu smiled, his wrinkles piled together, looking particularly kindly.
"Alright!" Xuanwu replied with a laugh.
Then he pointed at Xue Fu’s forehead, and she instantly fainted.
"Xu Nian, I’m entrusting Xinxin to you," Xuanwu said to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian looked helpless, thinking that once Xue Fu woke up, this would cause trouble?
However, he had no choice but to accept the unconscious Xue Fu, nodding in agreement: "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Sister Xinxin."
Xuanwu nodded with a smile: "Go!"
Without hesitation, Xu Nian left with Xue Fu in his arms.
Xue Fu watched as Xu Nian’s figure disappeared, her originally slightly bent back straightened somewhat, she smiled and said: "Old man, it’s time to do something useful, Xinxin, grandpa will pave some roads for you, making it easier for you in the future."
After speaking, the old man vanished from the spot.
