Chapter 605: Chapter 605 Connecting Heaven Level Ten
A third faction?
Qiu Hu and Si Mengyan looked at each other, fascinated.
That would be a good outcome. Having another faction join the fight would reduce the pressure.
Zhou Xuanji did not take Grandmaster Yuxuan seriously. This guy did not even have a good understanding of his opponent, which made Zhou Xuanji doubt how he became a Saint.
“Hey, aren’t you going to help us grow more powerful?”
Qiu Hu shouted at Ren Niming. The upcoming battle would be against a Heavenly Saint. He did not want to become ash during the fight.
Si Mengyan was also looking toward Ren Niming with a burning passion.
Until this day, they were totally convinced of Ren Niming’s power.
This guy had countless ways of dealing with things. All things seemed possible to him.
Ren Niming thought for a while and said, “Follow me.”
Shortly after, he left with Si Mengyan and Qiu Hu.
Zhou Xuanji did not stop them but continued focusing on absorbing the Overlord Saint Pellet.
While Ren Niming and the other two left. He released Emperor Hanlan, Saber Monarch Donghai, Emperor Canghai, Ghost Emperor Zhangtian, and Emperor Zhao.
“I shall never forget this favor you have given to me.”
“Brat, we will come back to help you after we regain our power!”
“Don’t you die!”
“Take care!”
“Remember to be careful. Don’t be reckless.”
The five souls gave their farewell speech before they quickly left.
Looking at them leaving, Zhou Xuanji sighed in his heart with amazement.
Time passed so quickly.
Back then, he had to rely on the nine souls. And now, he liberated them.
“I have a feeling they will regret it. After this tribulation, you will be completely changed. At that time, it will be extremely difficult for them to return to you.”
Dao Lord Xuantian’s voice came into Zhou Xuanji’s mind.
Hearing his words, Zhou Xuanji shook his head with a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid that you will die alongside me?” he asked.
“If you are going to die, you would already be dead,” Dao Lord Xuantian snorted coldly.
His words revealed his full trust toward Zhou Xuanji.
“Death is not frightening,” Sovereign Xuan said. The two had similar titles and both chose to stay.
Zhou Xuanji suspected that they were brothers. Or they could be the same person but a different soul fragment.
After that, Zhou Xuanji cared for the world inside the lotus as he consumed the Overlord Saint Pellet.
Years passed.
The Sword Spirit would remind him of the time. Every year, he received from it legendary swords. He also received sword techniques and enchanted artifacts occasionally.
Ten years later.
He reached Connecting Heaven Level Nine and began breaking through to Connecting Heaven Level Ten.
The amount of magic energy required to breakthrough grew exponentially as he reached higher levels.
Ren Niming returned once in these ten years, claiming that Qiu Hu and Si Mengyan were still cultivating. Then, he left immediately.
Today, he came back to Zhou Xuanji on a rainbow. He was grinning from ear to ear.
He flew to Zhou Xuanji’s back and laughed, saying, “The outside world is in total chaos. You have yet to appear, and Heavenly Lord Xuantie and Barbarian God Huangluo have already started their war. More than 100 million living beings participated in the war between these two factions. Out of this mess, Wanshen Great Thousand became a safer Great Thousand World.”
Zhou Xuanji asked, “How about Grandmaster Yuxuan?”
Ren Niming nodded. He began telling him about the situation of the Great Thousand Worlds.
Grandmaster Yuxuan wanted to find Zhou Xuanji, but Wanshen Great Thousand was occupied by Heavenly Lord Xuantie. This meant that Grandmaster Yuxuan must fight Heavenly Lord Xuantie to find Zhou Xuanji. But since Zhou Xuanji had yet to appear, Grandmaster Yuxuan had only provoked Heavenly Lord Xuantie. War had yet to break out between the two.
What was worth mentioning was that Grandmaster Yuxuan had looped in the lords of ten independent realms, who had Wanshen Great Thousand surrounded. The intention of this act was very obvious.
Heavenly Lord Xuantie had to remain vigilant against Grandmaster Yuxuan while he was fighting against Barbarian God Huangluo. He was in a dire situation.
Unknowingly, the Heavenly Saints began fighting amongst themselves.
Ren Niming said, “Now the situation is advantageous for me. The Heavenly Law Rules are already in operation. Destiny cannot do what it likes. So, we don’t need to be in a hurry and have the time to grow steadily.”
Zhou Xuanji nodded. This was a piece of good news indeed.
“Oh yes. Your revered teacher should not be a living being under the Heavenly Law, right? Recently, he’s nurturing Gu Tianxia and is very active on the battlefield. At the same time, he’s searching for the Heavenly Law Violet Qi to revive Xu Qing.”
Ren Niming turned around and said, which made Zhou Xuanji narrow his eyes.
Gu Tianxia?
He did not know to laugh or feel sad.
Both had helped him greatly, but the old beggar chose not to stay by his side when he was in danger. The next time they met, there might be a barrier between them.
Shaking his head, he chose not to overthink it. He would not hate the old beggar just because of this.
“I remind you, don’t hand the Heavenly Law Violet Qi to him. Xu Qing is easy to deal with. Once he receives the Heavenly Law Violet Qi and becomes a Saint, he will cause big troubles and even pull you down,” Ren Niming warned gravely. He had an odd expression in his eyes when mentioning Xu Qing.
Zhou Xuanji asked, “What’s wrong with Xu Qing?”
Ren Niming shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuanji did not bother to ask further.
“We will move out right after you finish consuming the Overlord Saint Pellet. You can grow more powerful during the battles until you are powerful enough to challenge destiny,” Ren Niming said before leaving urgently.
Zhou Xuanji began to look forward to the future battles.
He felt that he had already grown much more powerful. When he reached Connecting Heaven Level Ten, he could wield three Nine Extreme legendary swords. No one could stand before him!
…
Five years later, Zhou Xuanji reached 378 years old and had finally reached Connecting Heaven Level Ten!
His celestial energy grew tremendously, and the Saint Pellet in front of him shrunk to the size of a fist.
Right after his breakthrough, he felt that his body was like the magma in the earth’s core. His celestial energy was boiling inside him.
More accurately, his magic energy was no longer celestial energy.
It was saint energy!
Overlord Saint energy!
“Too powerful! You are not even 400 years old!”
Dao Lord Xuantian cried out in shock in Zhou Xuanji’s mind.
To make himself feel less lonely, Zhou Xuanji intentionally placed the Ancient God Sword beside him.
Sovereign Xuan exclaimed, “It’s hard to imagine the heights you can reach.”
Zhou Xuanji smiled without replying.
He was only waiting to finish consuming the pellet, and then he could leave the place.
He waited patiently with a calm mind.
Five days later.
He had consumed the pellet totally.
But since Ren Niming had yet to return, he could only wait.
He asked the demon gods to guard him while he entered the lotus’ world.
Half a year later.
He brought Zhou Xiaoxuan out.
“I’m finally out!”
Zhou Xiaoxuan cried out excitingly. This girl had requested to come out every day. The world inside the lotus was big enough for her to explore, but she always felt that the outside world was more interesting.
Zhou Xuanji sat on the rock by the riverside.
“Are your eyes feeling okay recently?” he asked.
He realized that Zhou Xiaoxuan’s pupils had turned totally into purple, which were just like his.
“It’s alright. No discomforts recently,”
Zhou Xiaoxuan nodded. She then came close to Zhou Xuanji’s side and giggled, “Father, can I observe your battle when you challenge the Heavenly Saint?”
Her cultivation had grown tremendously and was already breaking through to Heavenly Law True God, which was why she thought herself to be very powerful.
Zhou Xuanji threw her a stare and replied, “No way!”
“I…”
Zhou Xiaoxuan curled her lip. Just when she began to speak, the ground shook violently.
The father and daughter turned around. They saw a black shadow tear a hole in space and step out like a demon god from the abyss. It was the black figure of the Overlord Saint.
