She forcefully kissed her nemesis before dying, and her character collapsed after being reborn.

Chapter 316 Why do we seem like the demonic cultivators?

"So... why have I already broken through to the peak of the Void Refinement stage, while you're still only at the first level?"

At this moment, the two members of the Evil Sword Sect had devoured all the Styx beasts and completed their refining.

However, it will take some time for it to be fully absorbed.

Even so, this powerful energy helped Wu Qinghuan break through from the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm to the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.

only…

Why is there still no reaction from my senior brother even though I've broken through?

This puzzled Wu Qinghuan greatly.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

Why is this happening?

Xu Nian scratched her cheek. "I don't know."

"Something's wrong! Something's really wrong! You... I have a feeling you're up to something..."

He had been stuck at this level for a long time before.

He had been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for a long time before finally breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.

Logically, after the breakthrough, one should directly break through to the advanced stage of the Void Refining Realm.

But for some reason, even after breaking through, he was still only at the first level of the Void Refinement Realm.

That in itself is strange enough.

But what's even stranger is that he has now refined and absorbed a large amount of ferocious beast essence, and is still at the first level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Wu Qinghuan even had some doubts: was this guy at the first level of the Void Refinement Realm or the first level of the Dao Integration Realm?

"Xu Nian, what exactly is going on with you?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Then why haven't you made a breakthrough yet?"

"Is it not okay to not break through?"

Wu Qinghuan frowned.

Now it seems that I am far superior to my senior brother.

But she increasingly felt that this guy was better than her.

My senior brother seems to be becoming more and more mysterious.

I can't even see through him now.

"How exactly did you suppress your cultivation level?"

“I didn’t suppress it, it just kept getting stuck, and there was nothing I could do.” Xu Nian shrugged.

Looks weird.

actually…

He truly lacked the ability to actively control himself.

There was no attempt to suppress his cultivation level.

Instead, one's own energy channels become wider and wider.

Perhaps it is the effect of the resonance of multiple major roads.

The body's Qi and blood became increasingly abundant, and the strength of the physical body and the spirit became increasingly exaggerated.

In his previous life, he only cultivated the Way of Killing.

But in this life, there are far too many paths to cultivate.

Multiple paths can be cultivated simultaneously.

With the blessings of many Taoist masters, plus his own special physique.

It seems that something extraordinary has been triggered, an awakening.

So, although he has accumulated a lot of energy and absorbed the essence of many demonic beasts, he is still only at the first level of the Void Refinement Realm.

However… Xu Nian’s Qi meridian width is still increasing.

It hasn't stopped yet.

In other words, the energy he has accumulated so far is not enough to support him in breaking through to the second level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Xu Nian also found this very strange.

He now even feels that if he mobilizes all the energy and vitality in his body...

It unleashed the power of multiple Dao principles.

It can even kill a cultivator at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm with a single punch.

Even... cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

Sometimes, they even find themselves unable to control their own power.

The amount of qi and blood in the body is simply too great.

It travels throughout the body.

So now, when he's outwitting Qinghuan, he no longer resorts to physical violence.

More often than not, it's verbal attacks.

Or simply admit defeat.

This was actually just to prevent myself from hurting her.

As for Wu Qinghuan's question, Xu Nian herself hadn't figured it out, so naturally she didn't know how to answer it.

In any case, judging from the current situation, this breakthrough trend, although strange, is not necessarily a bad thing.

We'll just have to take it one step at a time.

“Speaking of which, isn’t what we’re doing a bit too much like demonic cultivation?” Xu Nian suddenly asked.

His expression was quite something.

Wu Qinghuan, standing beside him, blinked repeatedly, as if nothing had happened, and scratched her head in confusion.

What just happened?

"We are not..."

Xu Nian had only spoken halfway when he seemed to understand her meaning.

It dawned on me.

"Junior sister, do you mean we didn't do anything?"

"No..." The Holy Son shook his head and said calmly, "Weren't we acting on behalf of Heaven to deal with the ferocious beasts in the River Styx?"

"Eh…"

"In this way, any cultivators who accidentally wander into this place will not be in danger. We are heroes, great heroes."

Xu Nian touched her head.

I feel like my junior sister's brainwashing skills are even better than before.

I looked at her.

It seems like I've figured something out.

What appears before me is not my junior sister's personality, but rather the personality of that wicked holy son from back then.

To be honest, Xu Nian really missed this guy.

"Kiss me."

"What's wrong with you! Xu Nian! Don't think that just because I'm always like this, I'm just shy!"

The Holy Son was furious.

Why does this guy keep saying things like that these days?

Isn't this the line I used to tease my senior brother before?

When did you return to your senior brother's side?

When did this guy learn that?

"These are my lyrics! You're not allowed to take them!"

"Whoever says so has the final say."

"Then I'll have to tease you. Don't forget, I'm at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm now, while you're just a mere first-level Void Refinement Realm cultivator."

Xu Nian thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right, Qing Huan, I should cling to your coattails from now on."

"Hehe, you've hugged me quite a lot before."

Wu Qinghuan said expressionlessly.

As the two were talking, several people slowly appeared not far away.

The expressions of the two leaders were extremely strange.

They flew over, but did not get close, maintaining a safe distance.

The somewhat mature woman spoke up and asked.

"But did the senior members of the Sword Sect deal with the... ferocious beasts here?"

The voices of those who spoke sounded somewhat surprised.

It's clearly hard to believe such a thing.

Xu Nian waved her hand, "Let's continue."

The most important thing is to carry out the mission; protecting this holy son is all that matters.

As for the others, there's no need to explain too much.

Now that all the monsters have been dealt with and the road has been cleared, isn't that good?

How much trouble does it save?

If it weren't for him and Qinghuan using the Devouring Dao Heart to refine all the ferocious beasts in this place...

It's possible that most of the cultivators in this group will die.

Many of these followers were at the Nascent Soul stage.

A Nascent Soul cultivator might be considered a strong person in a small place, but in a sect, they would be considered an elder-level fighter.

But it was placed in the River Styx.

They might be torn to pieces by thousands of ferocious beasts in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

There are far too many ferocious beasts here.

Currently, a large amount of energy is still stored in that Daoist divine power.

The two of them only absorbed a portion of it.

It's impossible to fully absorb it in a short period of time.

It will take at least one or two months to fully refine and absorb it.

It is estimated that by then, Qinghuan will have already broken through to the Dao Integration Realm.

And myself...

Um, my situation is a bit strange.

It's really hard to say what level one will reach.

"Fifth Elder, rest assured. If we succeed this time, I will definitely offer you the Eight-Turn Heavenly Yang Pill with both hands. As long as you kill the people from the Crimson Sun Holy Land, you will definitely be able to get the pill. Don't worry."

Outside the River Styx, hidden in a secluded corner.

A group of people.

The leader was bald and had a scarred face.

The elder beside him was dressed in white robes, but his face was extremely grim.

If the Holy Son and the Grand Elder were here, they would be stunned to see him, because this is the Fifth Elder of their Crimson Sun Holy Land.

The old man's wife and children all died in battle.

My own time is also coming to an end.

Stuck at the Nascent Soul stage and unable to break through.

The deadline is approaching.

If you remain stuck at this level, you will eventually die of old age.

However, his own talent is limited.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be stuck at such a pitiful level.

From a broader perspective, there is simply no need for further training.

A single elixir that can extend one's lifespan is priceless.

The same value could even help a cultivator in the Void Refining Realm advance a minor realm.

Obviously, the latter is more important.

The Holy Land will not continue to invest in someone who has no future and no value.

This is a simple truth that even children understand.

The Fifth Elder was naturally aware of this as well.

Although I understand it in my heart, I can't accept it.

This is something I simply cannot accept.

He wasn't thinking about revenge.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount.

Now that we've joined this battlefield, it doesn't matter whether we kill others or are killed by others.

Actually, all of this is normal.

It's all about individual ability.

have nothing to say.

If you get killed, it's only because you're less skilled.

There's naturally no concept of revenge.

He is nearing the end of his life, but he does not want to die. He also dreams of attaining immortality and roaming the world.

He wanted to obtain an elixir that could extend lifespan.

Just then, the enemy's holy land approached them, saying that they would only give them information from within if they provided it.

As long as the information is valuable enough.

You can obtain the elixir yourself.

So he revealed information time and time again.

until now.

They also recounted the circumstances of the young master retrieving the sword, even telling them the time and place.

We're about to get the elixir!

You'll get it soon!

"If all those guys die, I can get the pills, right?"

"Yes, yes, but... hehe, Fifth Elder, you really are a hero. To be so ruthless and merciless to the people of your own Holy Land, hahaha, such a person truly deserves to be called a hero, hahahaha."

Hearing Scarface's words, the Fifth Elder's lips twitched slightly.

He kept a cold expression and didn't say anything.

have nothing to say.

Since I have chosen this path, I cannot let down myself, even if I fail to let down anyone else.

If that holy land truly cared about me, why would it abandon me when my time was up?

So there's no need to overthink it.

Just using each other.

Thinking of his wife and children who died in battle, wasn't it all for the Holy Land?

Is there a problem with exchanging information about the Holy Land for some pills?

no problem.

That's fair enough.

"Fifth Elder, don't try anything funny later. Cooperate with us to kill those guys, and you'll get the pills. Otherwise, hehe..."
