Chapter 403: Chapter 178 Sudden Murderous Intent, Dragons and Snakes Emerge (Please Subscribe)

Originally, when Xu Qing practiced the Seven Azure Dragon Constellations, his progress was mediocre; it was only by relying on the Primordial Essence from the Red Moon Relics to enhance his Divine Soul that he managed to complete the final penetration.

But with the Xuanwu Seven Stars, his progress was fierce and rapid.

Actually, this is not surprising. Penetrating the Hidden Veins of the Xuanwu Seven Stars, according to the Xuantian Visualization Method, is also known as "Hundred Days to Reach God." It means, within a hundred days of opening the Hidden Veins of the Xuanwu Seven Stars and then penetrating the Hand’s Three Yin Meridians, one can cultivate the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber, which is considered a normal cultivation process.

However, there are very few who can truly complete this process.

Because this is a process from the outside to the inside, the torment and pain inflicted by the Star Power Gang Sha on the Divine Soul are unimaginable.

This sensation is like being sliced by a thousand knives, and it’s a perception on the level of the Divine Soul, with no way to shield oneself from it.

From this, Xu Qing gained a clear understanding. The reason he could progress so smoothly is not only due to the strong Qi-Blood from the Golden Light Spell, but also related to the articles insulting North Kong.

His spirit, having challenged the reputation of a millennium-old Aristocratic Family by himself, was cultivated to an extremely high level. This accumulation of murderous intent, whether it’s vigor or killing intent, is like the storing of water in a reservoir. When it comes to cultivation, it’s like opening the gates to let the water out, unstoppable like a bamboo splitting.

As a result, in just over a month, Xu Qing opened up the Xuanwu Seven Stars, combined the Star Power Gang Sha and Qi-Blood within the Hand’s Three Yin Meridians, and refined the Gang Sha of the Xuanwu stars into Sword Gang.

After one night, Xu Qing mastered the various details of the Xuanwu Seven Stars and cultivated the Divine Skills of the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber.

He was now full of energy and went to the courtyard. With a wave of his hand, a foot-long Sword Gang appeared, effortlessly cutting through an iron-clad wooden dummy.

"This is a bit like the Six Meridian Divine Sword from the novels." In his previous life, the novels he read featured the Six Meridian Divine Sword as an invisible qi sword, not an energy pulse as depicted in TV dramas, but an invisible and substantial force, capable of employing sword techniques.

In a fight, the opponent naturally cannot gauge the length of your sword or from what angle the strikes will come. It can expand and contract as desired, unpredictable and ever-changing.

"Sister-in-law, do you know any Immortal Techniques?" Zhou Pingting was outside the courtyard.

She naturally couldn’t see the Sword Gang and only felt a strong current flowing within the courtyard, emitted from her brother-in-law’s hand, abruptly cutting through the wooden dummy.

Xu Qing: "Sort of, do you need something?"

"This is a letter from my father."

Xu Qing took the letter and after reading its content, couldn’t help but feel a headache. It seems Mr. Zhou’s idea was, since you’re here, Zhou Pingting can temporarily stay at your place until things blow over.

Xu Qing could understand Mr. Zhou’s implied meaning.

In any case, Zhou Pingting could no longer possibly return to the Kong Family for marriage, and once a woman’s engagement is broken, regardless of the ultimate outcome, it will be difficult to arrange her marriage in the future. So, Mr. Zhou’s idea was essentially for Xu Qing to see what can be done about it.

"I only have a few years to live anyway. If I can get through this, then it can be discussed; if not, there’s no need to bother."

Xu Qing’s one word response— "Delay."

Although a girl can marry and have children upon reaching the age of thirteen and experiencing her first menstrual period, in reality, if parents are affectionate and unwilling to marry off their daughter too early, it is normal for a girl to be married off at fifteen or sixteen.

He even had a sharp intuition that Mr. Zhou’s situation in Lingnan might not be optimistic, and this move carried a hint of entrustment.

Heshan Tao, Tusi...

Each and every one of these entities is not to be trifled with.

If another fire starts in the back yard, Mr. Zhou probably won’t want to live anymore.

Mr. Zhou has one son and one daughter, with his son just five years old.

Of course, there are also concubine-born sons and daughters, but the family’s name and grace will not fall to them.

Succession of the family lineage.

The lineage is the most important thing.

With an heir present, naturally, it is not the turn of children born of concubines to carry on the lineage.

Xu Qing also thought of Wei Yuan, the supposed illegitimate son of Duke Wei, who was deliberately nurtured and supported by the Chaotian Temple Master. Different from ordinary illegitimate children, there might be quite a spectacle in the future at the Duke Wei Mansion.

On another front, after cultivating the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber, one needs to continuously draw on the Star Power using the Hidden Veins of the Xuanwu Seven Stars, then cultivate the Star Power Gang Sha, nurturing it within the Hand’s Three Yin Meridians as a reserve.

Otherwise, in actual combat, it would be depleted in just a few moves.

Moreover, if the physical body isn’t strong enough, the meridians simply cannot store much of the Star Power Gang Sha.

Of course, Xu Qing’s current reserves are far from saturated.

While nurturing the Star Power Gang Sha, he waited for the situation to develop.

In passing, he still had to find time to meet with Wei Yuan, the junior brother from the Chaotian Temple.

...

The Luo Sect Master took the sea route to East Mountain Province. On the ship, he encountered three unexpected guests.

Red-haired Yan Kong, Golden Hou, and a Ghost-faced Fox.

The Ghost-faced Fox was the Heart Moon Fox.

The face of the Luo Sect Master darkened; it turns out they were all Xu’s adversaries, a sort of ’Avengers alliance,’ wasn’t it?

Well, to be precise, these three were all losers under Xu’s hands.

The Luo Sect Master said to Heart Moon Fox: "How did you manage to escape?"

He felt somewhat embarrassed in his heart, after all, abandoning his ally had been very rapid.

Yet Yun Yuzhen and Elder Yan had done the same, with both guys currently on the ship.

Heart Moon Fox: "All of you at the Possession Realm can perform Divine Separation, so why not me. Last time, I didn’t quite figure out Xu’s method and suffered a loss, but I don’t blame you for that."

The Luo Sect Master was on guard: "What are your intentions now?"

Red-haired Yan Kong smiled: "The Sect Master can rest assured, we have no desire to test your Asura Evil Skill, we can negotiate whatever it is."

The Luo Sect Master got straight to the point: "I’m currently planning to head north to East Mountain Province. Where are you folks planning to go? If it’s Jiangning Prefecture you want, I can take you there right now."

Red-haired Yan Kong: "I observed the Qi, and not long ago, I saw a surge of spiritual Qi in Jiangning Prefecture reaching heaven and challenging the stars. Presumably, Island Master Lin has already attained the Grandmaster Realm. Even if it’s not the fulfillment of great virtue, coupled with Xu Gongming, unless we join forces, we’ll fare no better. Hence, there’s no need to go to Jiangning Prefecture."
