Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

This was the first time Lin Zhiya had heard Su Chen bring up the lower realm on his own initiative.

Lin Zhiya then realized that she knew nothing about this man's past.

The ever-burning lamp in the cave dimmed briefly, then lit up again.

Lin Zhiya did not leave.

"This saintess... is doing this for the sake of the sect's reputation."

That's what she said, but she pressed her body against him first.

After the fusion, the ancient cultivator's technique became several times more violent than before.

Lin Zhiya bit her lip, her jade feet were stretched straight, but were pushed open inch by inch by that energy.

The white gauze slipped down, revealing a snow-white chest that rose and fell.

This time, Lin Zhiya didn't stick to her guns.

As dawn approached, Lin Zhiya's spiritual power had already reached the threshold of the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage.

Once this scoundrel wins, no one will be able to stop the ceremony.

Outside the gate of Pianfeng Mountain, Han Yue looked at the lamp that had been burning all night in the cave.

Looked for a long time.

Finally, he turned around and headed towards Xiao Dingyue's residence.

...

Several bamboo stalks were planted in Xiao Dingyue's courtyard, and the bamboo leaves rustled when the night wind blew.

When Han Yue pushed open the door, Xiao Dingyue was brewing tea, as if he had expected Han Yue to come.

"Elder Xiao, I'll help you."

"Has Junior Nephew Han figured it out?"

Han Yue didn't answer that question, but only told what he knew.

"Su Chen used a pen in the Shattered Star Cluster that could tear through the void."

"There's also a thunderous aura; Blood Butcher lost an arm because of these two things back then."

Xiao Dingyue stopped using the teaspoon in his hand.

Han Yue knew that Elder Xiao was using him.

Han Yue told himself that he was only doing this to let his senior sister see that person clearly, and he didn't want to harm anyone.

"Thank you, Junior Nephew Han."

Xiao Dingyue pushed a cup of tea over.

Han Yue didn't drink it, and turned to leave.

A pen capable of tearing through the void is definitely a spiritual treasure of at least the Integration Realm.

Xiao Dingyue originally only wanted to win.

Now, Xiao Dingyue wants that pen.

The Star Sword Formation locked down the surrounding star positions, pinning the space in place, preventing the pen from tearing through the void.

Xiao Dingyue went to Bone Peak again.

The aroma of medicine in the Bone Peak Pill Room was so strong it was almost pungent. Old Man Tiandu took out a bright red pill from his sleeve.

"Something I've kept hidden away."

"If taken before battle, one's cultivation can reach the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Xiao Dingyue accepted the gift with both hands and thanked him solemnly.

Xiao Dingyue won, so that little devil is finished.

Xiao Dingyue lost, but it was just a matter of him becoming a guest advisor; Gu Feng wouldn't get a single inch of his dust.

This pill is just for fun.

...

The stone gate to the Pianfeng Cave was half-closed.

"Do not leave the cave these next few days."

Lu Yao lowered her head.

"My lord, for the sake of this servant..."

"What Su has always done is only for himself."

Su Chen waved his hand and went into the inner room.

Lu Yao stood still, understanding why her master had said that.

But that little thing in my heart, I couldn't suppress it even after seventy years.

This time, it was even harder to suppress.

...

The protective array around the training ground was fully activated, and golden light spread upwards from the bottom of the platform.

The audience was packed with people.

The elders from all the peaks had arrived. Master Yunmeng stood on the edge of the cliff of the main peak, while Elder Tiandu stood with his hands behind his back on the side of Bone Peak.

Liu Yunhan and Lin Zhiya stood together, neither of them speaking.

Among the outer disciples, there was a face that looked very familiar.

Cheng Mo somehow managed to sneak in and was now standing on tiptoe, peering at the stage.

As soon as Xiao Dingyue stepped onto the stage, seven Star Swords soared into the air and landed on the seven star positions respectively.

As soon as the sword formation was completed, the void around the martial arts arena was completely locked.

He attacked with a deadly move from the very first move, without any hesitation.

Su Chen tried to shrink the distance to an inch.

His body suddenly felt weak, and he was bounced back, a thin crack appearing on the bluestone beneath his feet.

"Su Zhenchuan's spatial laws are no longer usable!"

Someone in the audience screamed.

Xiao Dingyue raised the corner of his mouth.

Han Yue is right.

This kid relies on the laws of space.

Seven sword beams swept in from seven directions, weaving together into a vast net of starlight.

Su Chen blocked with his sword, but the sword's edge sliced ​​off a piece of his furious blue robe, shattering the scales into stardust.

Su Chen took a step back.

Another step back.

They retreated all the way to the edge of the stage.

On the other side of Bone Peak, the old man from Tiandu's lips twitched.

Lin Zhiya gripped her sleeve tightly, her fingertips turning white.

Su Chen had seen this sword formation before.

On the Xuanhuang Continent.

Back then, when Wang Qiushan fought with others, he used the same method, but it was far less complete, and he only had three swords.

The Starry Sky Sect, with an elder surnamed Wang, is the ultimate sect of the Starry Sky Dao.

Now everything matches up.

Su Chen retreated step by step, trying to get a full view of the sword formation.

Seeing that Su Chen had been forced to the edge of the stage, Xiao Dingyue took out the crimson pill from his sleeve and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Qi surged.

The seven swords merged into one, transforming into a starlight beam over ten zhang long, which slashed down towards Su Chen.

Su Chen did not back down.

The fused laws within his body were released completely for the first time since he emerged from seclusion.

Lei Yi followed the spatial texture and entered.

Star positions can lock in space, but they cannot lock in celestial calamities.

Lightning exploded simultaneously on all seven star positions, crackling loudly.

The sword formation began to loosen.

Xiao Dingyue's expression changed drastically.

What kind of rule is this?

How could the lightning tribulation travel along the space?

The brush used to help people overcome difficulties during the Spring and Autumn Period emerged from his sleeve.

Instead of tearing through the void, Su Chen followed the crack created by the lightning and wiped it away with a single stroke.

Ink marks streak across the sky.

Of the seven Star Swords, three were swallowed up without leaving a single sword cry.

Xiao Dingyue ignited his life essence and urged the remaining four swords to make a final desperate attempt.

Su Chen's natal spirit sword met the attack head-on, the ancient patterns on its spine lighting up inch by inch, and lightning crackling around its blade.

With a single sword strike, it fell.

All four Star Swords broke in two.

Xiao Dingyue was blasted off the martial arts stage and coughed up blood three times upon landing.

The audience was silent.

Of Xiao Dingyue's four followers, the one who had been pressing his hand on the magic weapon earlier collapsed to the ground with his legs giving way.

Qin Yue of the Crimson Flame Sect was also among the spectators.

Back in Juque City, Qin Yue didn't take this junior seriously.

A chill ran down my back.

Those disciples who had said Su Chen "escaped the great battle" and "relyed on his master's fame" all shut their mouths over the years.

The old man from Tiandu put his hands behind his back.

Seventy years ago, this kid swindled me out of a prescription.

Seventy years later, this young man, at the early stage of the Integration Realm, defeated a mid-stage Integration Realm cultivator who had taken elixirs.

That pill was essentially given away for free.

From now on, it won't be enough to just avoid matters concerning Juque City; we'll have to avoid matters concerning the sect as well.

Lin Zhiya's eyes reddened, but this time she didn't wipe them away.

Su Chen sheathed his sword, walked up to Xiao Dingyue, and lowered his voice.

"I have seen the Starry Sword Formation of the Three Swords in the lower realm."

Xiao Dingyue froze, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, unable to utter a sound for a long time.

...

Master Yunmeng announced the results.

Xiao Dingyue publicly acknowledged the term "outsider" and from then on only accepted offerings.

The matter of Lu Yao was thus concluded.

Xiao Dingyue took off the jade pendant, lingered on it for a long time, and then handed it over.

Even though the jade pendant was gone, Xiao Dingyue still remembered what was inside.

The fact that Su Chen had seen the sword formation of the three swords meant that Su Chen knew where the treasury was.

Xiao Dingyue, however, was unaware of this.

The thing that the Xiao family had been searching for for three thousand years was actually found by a rogue cultivator from the lower realm.

...
