Chapter 21: Billions of Human Clan, All Are Juniors
Although that person clearly did nothing, Zhang Xiu still felt a chill run down his spine.
No way! Gotta escape!
He directly lunged towards the wall beside him.
With his Realm, after rushing out from here, he could be far away from this residential area within two seconds.
But the next moment, he was astonished to find that no matter how hard he tried, the distance did not change in the slightest.
"You came all this way to see me, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
His vision blurred, and Zhang Xiu finally came to his senses, seeing that he was still standing in his original position, his face couldn't help but turn ugly.
Illusion Formation!
And it was an extremely profound Illusion Formation; he didn't even know when he had been caught in it.
"Who exactly are you?"
Without a doubt, this person's Realm far surpassed his, but how could Xiao Lu be involved with a Cultivator of this level?
"Me? In a sense, you should be the first person to discover I have come out of seclusion." Xu Xing did not hide it.
Buzz!
It was as if a thunderbolt flashed through his mind, and even his soul trembled.
He had thought that Xu Xing was a Cultivator drawn here because a powerful Cultivator had come out of seclusion, but he never expected that it was the powerful Cultivator himself who had come out of seclusion!
But how could this be?!
Why would Xiao Lu be involved with an ancient Cultivator who had just come out of seclusion?
"Don't overthink it, I just felt that you two siblings had a connection with me, so I passed on a little something to her to make her cultivation path a bit smoother."
Zhang Xiu didn't believe what Xu Xing said in his heart, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior, but Xiao Lu's cultivation path will be smoother than most people's, so..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, looking at Xu Xing in disbelief, or more accurately, looking at the drop-shaped red jade in his hand.
Not in the Storage Ring!
He quickly fumbled around his body, but it wasn't there either!
"So that's it, I was wondering why she managed to cultivate the first move of the Flowing Cloud Swordplay." Xu Xing clicked his tongue in wonder, "Interesting, someone actually thought of using this method to utilize the blood of those guys."
Blood?
Could it be that this ancient Cultivator who came out of seclusion knows the essence of the red jade!
"The method for making this thing is very ingenious, but it shouldn't be used the way you are using it."
Xu Xing looked at him and asked, "Do you need my help? But after using it, the 'form' of this thing might disappear."
"I wouldn't dare trouble Senior."
This was the only item left by his parents, of course, he couldn't let it disappear, especially at the hands of an ancient Cultivator he didn't understand.
"Very well, for your current Realm, the effect of this thing is indeed limited." The red jade in Xu Xing's hand disappeared, "It's already been put back."
Zhang Xiu quickly checked, and the red jade was quietly lying in the Storage Ring, as if it had never left.
A trace of chill couldn't help but well up in his heart.
What level of big shot is this!
"Have a seat first, ask whatever you want to ask, I'll answer as much as I can."
Zhang Xiu really wanted to say that he had nothing to ask, but the opportunity to get clues about his parents' demise was right in front of him, if he gave up like this...
After a slight hesitation, he walked forward and sat down properly on the sofa.
"Dare I ask, Senior, you just said the red jade is 'blood', may I ask what kind of creature's blood it is?"
"The answer to this question is too dangerous for you right now. I suggest you join the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect, and you will naturally find out after reaching Combined Dao."
Huh?
Not only do I have to join an Immortal Sect, but I also have to become a Combined Dao Cultivator?!
It's just an answer, is the threshold that high?
Mom and Dad were still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Combined Dao back then.
"Is this the only way?"
"You don't necessarily have to join an Immortal Sect, but Combined Dao is a must. After all, you are a Body Cultivator, so entering the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect will also make your path smoother."
"..." He was silent for a moment, "As for Xiao Lu, I wonder what Senior's arrangements are?"
"Her combat talent is good. I will help her achieve a Heavenly Dao Foundation, and after that, she will naturally join my Sword Sect."
If her combat talent is good, she should become a Sword Cultivator?
Then why not go into body tempering? Body Cultivators also need combat talent!
"Because Sword Cultivators are cooler than Body Cultivators."
Hmm?!
Mind Reading?
"It's not mind reading, but isn't that what you Body Cultivators think when you hear Sword Cultivator?"
Unable to refute.
As reckless brutes recognized by the Tai Xuan Realm, the elegant and free-spirited Sword Cultivators who fly on swords are indeed more popular than the muscular Body Cultivators who rip their clothes off at the drop of a hat.
"And do you want your sister to swing her fists and smash people?"
Zhang Xiu: "..."
Alright, he couldn't quite accept that image either.
"Anything else you want to ask?"
"...Senior's cultivation is profound, at your level, why would you pay attention to low-level Cultivators like us?" Zhang Xiu asked seriously.
Could it be because he's bored and wants to find some fun?
"Don't think about things too darkly."
You said you didn't use mind reading.
"I am a pioneer. Compared to you, I have merely lived a few more years."
"When I first embarked on the path of cultivation, I also received protection from many predecessors to reach where I am today. Naturally, I should also protect juniors like the predecessors did."
This answer was truly somewhat unexpected.
"But I am not a member of the Sword Sect." Zhang Xiu said, puzzled.
Hearing this, Xu Xing looked at him: "The billions of Human Clan in the Tai Xuan Realm are all our juniors."
............
In the hazy space, Zhang Yunlu sat cross-legged, wisps of gray mist flowed, gathering in the large hole opened in Zhang Yunlu's abdomen.
Injuries on other parts of her body also fully recovered.
【Enemy Killed - Qi Training Ninth Level Sword Cultivator, Flowing Cloud Swordplay Great Mastery】
【Time Taken: Three minutes and ten seconds】
Golden text appeared, followed by a round Medicinal Pill.
Zhang Yunlu opened her eyes, grabbed the Medicinal Pill, and put it into her mouth.
The medicinal power quickly took effect. The depleted spiritual power in her Dantian rapidly recovered and became much stronger.
Didn't I fall asleep?
Why can I still feel the spiritual power in my Dantian?
Why did I also feel pain when I was injured?
When life was draining away, was that really the feeling?
Numerous questions weighed on her mind, but she didn't have the energy to explore them now.
After nearly a hundred life-and-death battles with no reservations, her Flowing Cloud Swordplay improved rapidly, and she mastered all the subsequent sword moves. Now, even a Sword Cultivator with Great Mastery of the Flowing Cloud Swordplay was no match for her.
【Enemy: Qi Training Ninth Level Sword Cultivator, Flowing Cloud Swordplay Complete Mastery】
【Killing can end this trial】
Seeing that line of text, Zhang Yunlu's eyes finally lit up with spirit.
It can finally end!
She finally understood why Xu Xing had confidently guaranteed that she could master the Flowing Cloud Swordplay.
So it was completely piled up with her life!
Her spirit roused, Zhang Yunlu got up and looked into the depths of the gray mist.
Step, step!
It was still that familiar Sword Cultivator phantom, whose face couldn't be seen, with spiritual power comparable to hers.
Kill him, and I can get out!
This time, Zhang Yunlu decided to take the initiative to attack first!
Tapping her toes lightly, she rushed towards the Sword Cultivator phantom while simultaneously unleashing five streams of sword light, and this was not even her limit!
After a series of clashing sounds of metal.
Poof!
The sprayed fresh blood turned into gray mist and dissipated.
Zhang Yunlu, pierced by several streams of sword light, flew backward like a broken rag doll, while the Sword Cultivator phantom was merciless, stepping forward and thrusting his sword to pierce her glabella.
