The First Marquis of Daxuan

Huang Chao, the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect, was once one of the strongest experts in the Great Thousand World.

He had seen countless martial artists and fought countless battles throughout his life.

But the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was the most amazing fist technique he had ever seen in his life.

He witnessed firsthand how Ufa and Wutian were defeated by Su Mu with a single punch.

This made him naturally retreat from the step he had originally intended to take to help.

Ufa and Utian were defeated.

The defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Even if you add him, the result will be exactly the same.

"Su Mu has become stronger again."

Huang Chao muttered to himself.

He thought that Wufa and Wutian's intervention would lead Su Mu to submit to the Pofa Heavenly Sect, but he never expected the final result to be like this.

For a moment, Huang Chao looked bewildered.

Both Ufa and Utian were defeated. Su Mu is so powerful. Was my choice wrong?
The reason I joined the Breaking Law Heaven Sect was because the Breaking Law Heaven Sect was powerful enough, wasn't it?
He thought that the Breaking Law Heaven Sect would lead him to the pinnacle of martial arts.

Now he suddenly realized that the person most likely to lead him to the pinnacle of martial arts might be Su Mu.

He once chose Su Mu, but later, he personally gave up that choice.

Did he really make the wrong choice?

Ta-da.

Footsteps sounded.

Huang Chao subconsciously looked up and saw Su Mu standing right in front of him.

"I--"

Huang Chao opened his mouth, but felt his throat was dry and he couldn't say a word.

Ufa and Wutian's corpses were still in the distance. If Su Mu wanted to kill him, he would have absolutely no chance of surviving.

The thought that the situation had turned out this way because of his choices filled Huang Chao with regret.

He really regretted it.

“Huang Chao, I remember I told you this last time.”

Su Mu said calmly, "You helped Da Xuan before, so I'll let you off this time."

"Once is never enough. This time, what do you think I should do to you?"

"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."

Huang Chao remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Things have come to this point. Do as you please, whether you want to kill me or torture me."

There was indeed a road to heaven laid out before him, but he missed it.

It's too late to regret it now.

After all, Huang Chao was once one of the strongest figures in the world; he wouldn't stoop to begging for mercy.

Huang Chao closed his eyes.

Leaving the Great Qian Dynasty was the right choice, but joining the Breaking Law Heaven Sect was a mistake.

If someone makes a mistake, they should be held accountable.

If you're going to get hit, stand at attention.

Seeing Huang Chao's closed-eye resignation to death, Su Mu was amused and exasperated.

He could actually understand Huang Chao.

Huang Chao and Lu Yin joined the Great Xuan Dynasty together, one as the sect leader of Hengshan Sect and the other as the sect leader of Yanfu Sect.

As a result, Lu Yin broke through to the Pseudo-Primordial Realm with his help.

Huang Chao, however, did not gain any benefit.

It's understandable to feel resentful.

He relinquished his identity as one of the Nine Extremes of the Great Qian Dynasty and even handed over the Hengshan Sect to others.

It seems that Huang Chao did not gain any benefit, which would make him feel resentful.

However, Huang Chao was too hasty.

It wasn't that Su Mu treated them differently; rather, the Primordial Relics were only useful to Lu Yin.

At that time, Su Mu himself had not yet broken through to the half-step Primordial Realm.

If it were now, Su Mu would be 70-80% confident that he could help Huang Chao break through to the half-step Primordial Realm.

If Huang Chao were still in the Great Xuan Dynasty, Su Mu would naturally help him.

Huang Chao was still too hasty.

When it comes to martial arts training, being impatient often won't help.

Being in a hurry doesn't necessarily mean you'll move faster.

Just like it is now.

The Breaking Law Heavenly Sect is nothing special.

Huang Chao chose the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, but he only managed to break through to the half-step Primordial Realm.

In Su Mu's current view, this level of skill is nothing special.

Looking at Huang Chao, Su Mu hesitated, a rare occurrence for him.

Killing Huang Chao was not difficult.

Having just fought against Wufa and Wutian, Su Mu's Six Paths Reincarnation Fist has made another breakthrough.

Moreover, even without a breakthrough, Huang Chao was no match for him.

However, Huang Chao was once one of their own, and although he has now joined the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, he has not caused any damage to the Great Xuan.

On the contrary, the Ufa and Utian he brought seemed like a windfall to him.

"Huang Chao, this is the last time."

After a long silence, Su Mu slowly spoke, "For the sake of Hengshan Sect, I'll spare you one more time. You can leave now."

Huang Chao opened his eyes, and his expression clearly showed a moment of surprise.

He had dealt with Su Mu quite a bit and knew Su Mu's personality very well.

Su Mu has never been a soft-hearted person.

Even Wufa and Wutian are dead, so what difference does it make if we kill another insignificant Huang Chao?

He never expected that Su Mu would let him go.

"I--"

Huang Chao wanted to say something.

As a result, Su Mu had already turned and left.

"Take Wufa and Wutian's bodies back and tell the Pofa Heavenly Sect that if they are not satisfied, they can come to me at any time."

Su Mu's voice came from afar.

Huang Chao looked at the corpses of Wufa and Wutian with a complicated expression.

Su Mu handled the murder and body search with practiced ease, and now this mess was his to clean up.

He didn't know how to explain himself to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

"I, Huang Chao, have never owed anyone anything in my life. But this time, I owe you my life, and I will repay it."

Huang Chao muttered to himself.

…………

With the people from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect no longer blocking his way, Su Mu quickly returned to the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Inside the Great Xuan Dynasty, Su Mu did not see Lu Yin, nor did he see Luo Anning, Dongfang Liuyun, or anyone else.

They all went to receive the places ceded by the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Great Xuan does not support idlers, except for Su Mu.

Everyone, from top to bottom, is extremely busy these days.

The Great Qian Dynasty ceded one-third of its territory to the Great Xuan Dynasty, which was equivalent to the Great Xuan Dynasty increasing its territory by more than ten times.

The most direct consequence of this is that they don't have enough people.

Although the Daqian Dynasty ceded territory, they took all the officials who were originally responsible for governing the region with them.

The Great Xuan Dynasty wanted to completely take over these territories, so it not only had to send people to manage them, but also to send a large army to guard and protect them.

These matters alone kept everyone in the Great Xuan Dynasty extremely busy.

Even the people from the Yanfu Sect and Hengshan Sect were all mobilized, but it still wasn't enough.

However, Su Mu doesn't need to worry about these things.

They all knew that Su Mu didn't care about these trivial matters.

The hardest step was getting the Great Qian Dynasty to cede territory and pay reparations. Su Mu has already accomplished that. If they still can't handle taking over territory, they might as well just kill themselves.

After briefly understanding the situation, Su Mu did not ask any further questions.

He immediately began to seclude himself to refine elixirs.

I promised the Beast Taming Sect the pills, so I still have to refine them properly for them, since they paid me.

Sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, Su Mu casually glanced at the system panel.

The number of points on the system panel had increased so much that he was too lazy to count them.

Once you reach a certain number of points, it becomes just a number.

Su Mu never imagined that one day he would have so many points that he couldn't use them all.

It's not quite right to say that it's inexhaustible; it's more accurate to say that it's unusable.

Now, apart from the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, all the martial arts he has cultivated have been elevated to perfection.

The Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique only has one last upgrade left.

Once he improves, he will break through to the true Primordial Realm.

In fact, Su Mu had already accumulated enough points to upgrade the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique, but he just hadn't made up his mind yet.

He has been in contact with the Heavenly Sect recently, and from what they have said, he has pieced together a fact.

In the near future, the world will face a great calamity.

The celestial mechanisms have changed, and the movement of those at the Primordial Beginning Realm is no longer restricted.

Moreover, those in the Primordial Realm will have the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Gate.

Their goal is to enter the true heavenly realm and thus achieve immortality.

Su Mu still harbored doubts about immortality, but he was certain that this Great Thousand World was not yet suitable for a Primordial Realm expert to roam freely.

So he has been suppressing it.

Others saw Su Mu's cultivation level rapidly increasing, but they didn't know that Su Mu was actually suppressing his cultivation. If he hadn't suppressed it, he would already be at the Primordial Beginning Realm.

"So many points, yet nowhere to use them."

Su Mu muttered to himself.

With his current level of cultivation, there's little point in him learning other techniques.

Unless there is a technique stronger than the Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique.

For example, the cultivation techniques of the Primordial Realm.

However, as far as Su Mu knew, there were no cultivation techniques for the Primordial Beginning Realm in this world.

Whether it is the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, the Law Breaking Heavenly Sect, or the Purple Star Heavenly Sect.

Su Mu had tested them all. These Heavenly Sects believed that the Primordial Beginning Realm was already the ultimate realm of martial arts. Once one reached the Primordial Beginning Realm, there was no need for any cultivation techniques at all.

If you want to advance your cultivation to a higher level, perhaps only the Heavenly Realm behind the Heavenly Gate has such techniques.

Besides martial arts techniques, Su Mu's skills in weapon forging, alchemy, and even formation techniques have reached their pinnacle.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already reached this level.

"I'm already this strong, yet I haven't been able to occupy a small celestial realm. That's a bit embarrassing."

While refining pills, Su Mu muttered to himself.

After visiting the Little Celestial Realm and then returning to the Great Thousand World, it felt like being used to beautiful scenery and suddenly entering a garbage dump.

The polluted atmosphere of the world made him feel uncomfortable with every breath he took.

He had even begun to miss the Little Celestial Realm.

"The Ziwei Heavenly Sect has the background of the Great Qian Dynasty, which is too powerful. It's a bit difficult for me to deal with them now."

The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is the client, so it's not appropriate for us to take action.

Then the only option left is the Breaking Law Heaven Sect…

Once the idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to

Having experienced the cultivation environment of the Lesser Celestial Realm, Su Mu now finds the Great Thousand World utterly uninteresting.

He originally planned to break through to the Primordial Realm after the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth began and the Primordial Realm experts were no longer restricted.

Now, he couldn't hold back any longer.

So what if I can't travel the world freely?

Wouldn't it be enough to just seize a small celestial realm?

The Little Celestial Realm has such a wonderful environment, he doesn't want to come out unless there's something wrong.

In any case, the Great Qian Dynasty is currently tied up by the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect and cannot spare any resources to target the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Even without him, the Great Xuan Dynasty was able to maintain its foothold.

"This is the Breaking Law Heaven Sect that provoked me first. It is only right to retaliate. No wonder I, Su Mu, am too greedy."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Several days later.

A streak of light disappeared over the Great Xuan Dynasty.

…………

Huang Chao returned to the Pofa Tianzong sect with the corpses of Wufa and Wutian.

Enraged, the sect leader of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect immediately imprisoned Huang Chao.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Huang Chao offered no explanation and did not reveal Su Mu's true strength from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

"Huang Chao, are you going to do it or not?"

A middle-aged man stood in front of Huang Chao and said coldly.

This person is a powerful figure from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, named Wu Huan.

The Breaking Law Heaven Sect doesn't have many people in total, and now they've lost two of them all at once. This loss is unbearable for them.

Most importantly, this is a disgrace.

The mighty Breaking Law Heaven Sect actually had two people killed.

If this gets out, will the Breaking Law Heaven Sect even have any dignity left?
If it weren't for the fact that the great calamity of heaven and earth has not yet descended, and that experts of the Primordial Realm cannot leave the Small Heaven Realm at will, the Breaking Law Heaven Sect would have long since taken action to avenge Wu Fa and Wu Tian.

Now that Wufa and Wutian are both dead, the other half-step Primordial Realm cultivators of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect are definitely no match for Su Mu.

The only way to get revenge is to lure Su Mu to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, and then have them, the Primordial Realm cultivators, capture Su Mu.

"Lord Wuhuan, give up on that idea. I won't do it."

Huang Chao said coldly, "Even if you kill me, I will not help you lure Su Mu to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect."

The purpose of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect's desire for him to lure Su Mu here is self-evident.

In the past, he might have considered it.

But now, Huang Chao still owes Su Mu his life, so how could he betray Su Mu?

"Do you think you can protect Su Mu by doing this? It won't be long before the great calamity of heaven and earth descends, and then I will naturally be able to leave the small heavenly realm."

The Wuhuan were furious.

"If that's the case, why are you in such a hurry, Lord Wuhuan?"

Huang Chao said.

Wu Huan snorted coldly. He couldn't wait, he couldn't wait even a day!
Ufa and Utian were his descendants, and he placed high hopes on them.

He had painstakingly raised his descendants for so many years, only to have them die at Su Mu's hands. How could he not be furious?
He wanted to kill Su Mu right now; waiting even one more day would be torture for him!

"Huang Chao, since you have submitted to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, yet still cling to your former master, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wu Huan said coldly, "Since you are so protective of Su Mu, Su Mu will surely not ignore you."

I want to see if he'll just stand by and watch you die without doing anything about it.

What do you want to do?

Huang Chao's heart sank, and he couldn't help but say.

"What do you want to do?"

Wu Huan laughed loudly, "I will hang you in front of the Po Fa Tian Sect and slice off your flesh piece by piece."

Don't worry, I'll make you wail for eighty-one days before you die.

I want to see if Su Mu will show himself for you.

The Wuhuan people had ferocious faces and their eyes were full of malice.

"Don't waste your time. Even if you kill me, Su Mu won't show himself. I've already betrayed Su Mu. Do you think he'd risk his life for a traitor?"

Huang Chao shouted, "Wuhuan, if you are a man, then kill me!"

If I, Huang Chao, were to utter a single snort, then I am a son of a bitch.

"Don't rush, you'll die. Ufa and Utian are both dead, what makes you think you can live?"

Wu Huan sneered, "I will torture you slowly, and in the end, I will send you and Su Mu on your way to the afterlife together!"

…………

"A miscalculation."

Su Mu remained suspended in the air, muttering to himself.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have let Huang Chao go so easily. I didn't know where the Breaking Law Heaven Sect was."

Su Mu charged over with great momentum, only to find that he didn't know where the Breaking Law Heaven Sect was.

He forgot about it!
Back then, Chong Yingxiong let Huang Chao go, but now he has no way to find the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect.

When I visited the Ziwei Heavenly Sect before, I knew it was located in the Dragon Hidden Mountain.

As for the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, they had Nan Tianxiang, a disciple of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, to lead the way.

Only this Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

Su Mu truly did not know where the Breaking Law Heaven Sect was located, or even its general location.

The world is vast and boundless. Without knowing its exact location, finding the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect is like finding a needle in a haystack.

No, finding a needle in a haystack might be easier.

"If we want to find the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect, we'll probably have to rely on Huang Chao."

Su Mu stroked his chin, pondering.

He killed Wu Fa and Wu Tian of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect. The only person he knew who knew the location of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect's Lesser Heavenly Realm was Huang Chao.

When Su Mu thought of Huang Chao, he thought of the Hengshan Sect.

Huang Chao was once the leader of the Hengshan Sect, which had its own system of communication.

When Yokoyama disciples travel the world, they can use this method of communication to contact each other.

"It wouldn't hurt to give it a try; what if we could get in touch with Huang Chao?"

Su Mu thought to himself.

His internal energy flowed, and his hands moved in various hand seals.

A moment later, specks of white light flew in all directions like fireflies.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, as long as there are Hengshan Sect disciples, they can receive his message.

After waiting for a while, Su Mu received replies from several Hengshan Sect disciples.

There was no Huang Chao.

Su Mu darted away to another location and repeated his trick.

This was repeated time and time again.

Just when Su Mu thought this method wouldn't work, he suddenly received a message from a disciple of the Hengshan Sect.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, someone has seen the old Sect Master."

In the Tianlang Mountains of the Northwest, someone witnessed the old sect leader being executed.

Although he did not receive a reply from Huang Chao, the disciples of Hengshan Sect were all over the world. Some of them got the news while they were on their training. After learning that Su Mu was looking for Huang Chao, the news was passed on to Su Mu layer by layer.

"Northwest, Tianlang Mountain?"

After receiving this message, Su Mu looked up in the northwest direction, and a map of the vast world appeared in his mind.

The Tianlang Mountain in the northwest is hundreds of thousands of miles away from him. It is a vast, unclaimed land that is said to be extremely dangerous and unpredictable, and even the Great Qian Dynasty has not extended its reach there.

"Is the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect located in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain?"

Su Mu thought to himself, "No wonder even the Great Qian Dynasty didn't occupy Tianlang Mountain."

That's right. The Ziwei Heavenly Sect behind the Great Qian Dynasty must know that it's the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect, so they wouldn't provoke the Heavenly Sect lightly.

"Now that we know the location, it's time for this Little Celestial Realm to change its name." (End of Chapter)
