Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Xu Jingtian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Hmph, it seems that Ochi is really wary of the Three Saints of Soul Separation. He's even afraid of someone who has just fainted.

Xu Jingtian went down first, already determined to turn and run if he sensed any danger.

As they got closer to the room where the stone statues were kept, Ochi gradually increased the distance between himself and Xu Jingtian.

Xu Jingtian could sense it, but he didn't say anything. There was no sound coming from inside the room. Mustering his courage, Xu Jingtian approached and saw that everything was still the same. The stone statue was still on the table. He pointed to the three Soul-Separating Saints lying on the ground and said, "Elder Yuezhi, look! Elder Shoudan is still unconscious there!"

Only then did Ochi muster his courage to approach. He first looked at the stone statue on the altar, and only entered the house after feeling there was no danger. Just as Xu Jingtian had said, the Three Saints of Separation lay face down on the ground. He revealed a look of great joy and sneered, "Hmph, old man, in the end you will still fall into my hands."

Ochi quickly reached the bodies of the Three Saints of Separation, tapped them a dozen times with his hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Haha, old man, now you're in my hands! Quickly tell me the secrets of alchemy, or else... hmph!"

However, the bodies of the three soul-separated saints showed no reaction. Ochi cursed and cast another spell on the body, then said to Xu Jingtian, "Go and take a look."

Xu Jingtian sensed something was amiss and transmitted his voice to the three primordial spirits within his body: "Three primordial spirits, were those parts of your primordial spirits completely devoured by the black energy?"

The Three Saints of Separation of Souls only cursed fiercely, "It's all your fault! You ruined my century of cultivation in an instant!" After that, they said nothing more.

"Hmph!" Xu Jingtian, however, discerned the outcome from the conversation.

Even the three original deities of the Soul Separation Sect couldn't sense anything, indicating that his chances of survival were extremely slim.

Xu Jingtian felt relieved and boldly walked towards the body, lifting it up gently like a soft noodle. He could clearly feel that there was no trace of spiritual energy remaining in the body; it was just an empty shell, devoid of any life force.

"Ah!" Ochi couldn't help but shout, "Is he dead?" He snatched the body from Xu Jingtian's hands and threw it aside with disgust, like throwing away a piece of trash.

He then lamented, "Old man, I didn't expect you to die so soon. It's just a pity I hadn't yet obtained my alchemy secrets!"

Xu Jingtian sneered inwardly. This Ochi was truly a greedy and treacherous person, still coveting his alchemy secrets. He had originally thought that Dongfang Sixing and Huang Shaoyuan's masters were vicious, but compared to Ochi, they were practically good people.

Xu Jingtian pointed to the stone statue on the altar and asked, "Elder Ochi, why is there another stone statue here? And why does it look so strange?"

Ochi stared at the stone statue on the altar with some apprehension, and said coldly to him, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not touch it." After saying that, he fled the room as if he were escaping.

Xu Jingtian hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Elder Ochi, wait for me!"

Ochi suddenly turned around, as if he had become a different person, and said coldly, "Why are you still following me? You've been here long enough. Wan Dan Pavilion doesn't tolerate idlers!"

Xu Jingtian asked with some confusion, "Elder Ochi, what did you say?"

"Since you haven't done what I asked you to do, what are you still standing here for? Why don't you get out of here?" Ochi looked at Xu Jingtian and sneered.

He changed his tune so quickly; as soon as Xu Jingtian had no more use for him, he immediately wanted to get rid of him.

"Elder Ochi, are you trying to send me away?" Xu Jingtian pretended to be reluctant to leave Wandan Pavilion, but in his heart he just wanted to cheer. He wished he could jump up and down with joy.

The Wan Dan Pavilion is now like a den of demons, the last place he wants to be. The domineering Ochi, the terrifying Three Saints of Soul Separation—each one of them inspires extreme fear, and he wishes he could escape from here as soon as possible.

"Hmph, you're of no use to me anymore, what's the point of keeping you around? Get out of here!" Ochi said coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Alright." Xu Jingtian took out the identity token that Ochi had given him and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Ochi suddenly called out, as if remembering something.

"Would Ochi go back on his word?" Xu Jingtian, who was about to leave, stopped upon hearing this and asked, "What's wrong, Elder Ochi?"

Ochi sneered, snatched the storage bag from Xu Jingtian's waist, glanced at it, and said, "You think I've been supporting you for nothing this past year? Look around, among the thousands of outer disciples of the Brahma Sect, which one is living more comfortably than you? If it weren't for me taking care of you, how could you have reached the third level of Qi Refining so quickly! Hmph, even if you gave me all the rewards you received from your wilderness trials, it wouldn't be enough to compensate you!"

"Oh, that's only right, that's only right," Xu Jingtian nodded in response. What did it matter if he had to give up a storage bag in order to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible? Saving his life was the most important thing.

He quickly walked down the pavilion, finally feeling much more at ease being away from Wan Dan Pavilion.

"That was close!" Xu Jingtian thought to himself. "This Ottoman is indeed no good. It's a good thing to leave him as soon as possible!" After leaving Wan Dan Pavilion, he felt even more relaxed. He rode the Purple Flame Eagle that Huang Shaoyuan had lent him and flew into the misty mountains.

It seems that the Brahma Sect is not as good as people imagine. They are full of intrigue and backstabbing, and they will sell anything for a little bit of profit, even at the cost of others' lives.

To remain in the Brahma Sect, one must improve their cultivation level to ensure their survival.

He carefully examined the prayer beads on his wrist; two of them had absorbed enough spiritual energy to turn milky white. His recent surge in cultivation was all thanks to the timely intervention of the prayer beads. It seemed these prayer beads were truly a rare treasure, and he must cherish them dearly.

Xu Jingtian focused his inner gaze on his dantian, and found that he now possessed four to five hundred drops of spiritual liquid, several times more than an elite disciple. With his Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation, he was already considered an elite disciple in the Brahma Sect. The Three Saints of Soul Separation had possessed him, replenishing him with countless drops of spiritual energy while simultaneously tempering his physical body and all his meridians.

The attempt to possess his body failed, so the three saints who separated their souls essentially performed a basic initiation ceremony for Xu Jingtian.

As the vast flow of spiritual energy poured into his body, under the control of the Three Saints of Soul Separation, it raged everywhere, constantly cleansing his entire body and causing his meridians to expand more than twice their original size. If his meridians were originally just small streams, they were now like small rivers, not only able to mobilize more spiritual energy, but also becoming much stronger.

Therefore, apart from not reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining and not having practiced some advanced spells, Xu Jingtian was already an elite disciple in terms of cultivation.

What does it mean to be an elite disciple? Within the sect, they are already at the same level as Yan Gang. Unless one is an abnormal genius, no one can achieve this.

For a newly initiated outer disciple of a sect to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining in just one year is unprecedented in the entire cultivation world. If word got out, Xu Jingtian would undoubtedly be fiercely contested by both the immortal and demonic paths. A cultivation prodigy is more important to a sect than any other resource.

In the entire cultivation world, there are countless sects, large and small. Elixirs and resources are not the most precious things; what's most lacking are cultivation prodigies. A single cultivation prodigy can revitalize a sect, even dominate the entire cultivation world, and ultimately, achieving immortality is also possible.

A splitting headache and dizziness struck, and Xu Jingtian hurriedly covered his head with his hands. He almost lost his balance and fell off the Purple Flame Eagle's back into the valley.
