Chapter 500 - 441: A Huge Surprise

The Ancestor of Yishan did not understand the meaning behind the other’s words.

But there was no need to understand anymore.

The sun set, and the night closed in.

He possessed cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, his sensing power far exceeding that of ordinary lower cultivators.

He suddenly turned back in astonishment, only to find that Chu Huaixu seemed to have changed.

He saw the other raising a finger, gently pointing in the air.

Even though there was no barrier or restriction ahead, the Ancestor of Yishan found himself unable to move forward even a fraction.

Under the night sky, he seemed to be bound by this darkness.

The entire night felt like a huge cage.

He had nowhere to escape.

Yet he could move freely, just unable to flee in any direction.

The Ancestor of Yishan stood on his flying magical treasure, his face filled with horror as he looked back.

"This... this power is..." His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

Chu Huaixu looked at him with a mocking smile and said:

"Having seen the Immortal Venerable, why not pay homage?"

However, in the next moment.

The Ancestor of Yishan actually knelt with a thud.

....

....

Chu Huaixu: "..."

He didn’t expect this old guy to be so compliant.

Kneeling without a hint of hesitation.

He slowly flew forward, landing on his flying magical treasure.

The Ancestor of Yishan knelt on the ground, his eyes only able to see Chu Huaixu’s toes.

"Quite obedient," praised the young man in the black-golden robe.

"Having seen the Immortal Venerable, I dare not disobey!" said the Ancestor of Yishan earnestly.

He couldn’t comprehend why Chu Huaixu possessed the power of Fruit Position.

Why he became an Immortal Venerable of Divinity Transformation.

Yet, the Ancestor of Yishan now understood why the Celestial Venerable issued the order to kill Chu Huaixu.

The Ancestor of Yishan, having completely given up on struggling, only thought of how to survive.

He was about to say something when he was startled to notice that his vision was changing, moving.

Because his head was no longer connected to his neck and had inexplicably fallen off.

Chu Huaixu moved a heart thought, and his head fell to the ground.

Strangely, however, he gained no experience points.

As expected, the Ancestor of Yishan actually reached forward with both hands, grabbed his own head, and didn’t die.

With his hands holding his head, the old guy performed a "good show" for Chu Huaixu.

"Kunlun cultivators are truly bizarre and sinister," commented Chu Huaixu with a sigh, casually lifting his foot and kicking, shattering his internal organs.

This kick finally yielded experience points.

After collecting all the spoils into the Storage Token, Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing arrived, flying over.

"Already resolved," Chu Huaixu said with a smile.

"Let’s go, check other areas,"

After speaking, he transformed into a streak of light, flying away into the distance.

The two exchanged glances and then immediately followed.

....

....

Three days passed in a flash.

Chu Huaixu continued killing throughout day and night.

He barely stopped and kept on killing and killing.

His character panel’s experience points approached the one billion mark again.

"Leveling up now is not worth it, as it would affect gaining experience points later."

"Should I upgrade the Sword Heart first?" He pondered briefly.

The thought arose purely due to feeling unsatisfied with Ten Thousand Swords Unite (Advanced Version).

The sunk cost aspect was one factor.

Chu Huaixu understood early on: Sunk cost should not be part of major decisions.

That kind of thing only leads to impulsive behavior, muddling the mind, robbing reason.

It was mainly because he knew that mastering Ten Thousand Swords Unite would significantly boost combat power.

"But the further you progress on Sword Heart, the more experience points it costs."

"After all, within the entire Profound Yellow Realm, Sword Cultivators who reach the Realm of Sword Heart Clarity are few and far between."

His second master, Chu Yinyin, only achieved Great Success in Sword Heart, not Great Perfection.

Fortunately, it didn’t affect the creation of Domain and was not a prerequisite.

Otherwise, few Sword Cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm could achieve Sword Domain.

Chu Huaixu hesitated for a while, then couldn’t help cursing.

His Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques were inherently Sword Heart Clarity.

Had it not generated Sword Heart: Ten Thousand Swords Unite, it wouldn’t have coincidentally led to Ten Thousand Swords Unite (Advanced Version).

It meant he originally met the learning prerequisites.

"All troubles truly arise from insufficient experience points," he sighed inwardly.

Before, experience points numbering in billions would keep Chu Huaixu awake with excitement.

Nowadays, the heavenly calamity came early because of him.

But his overall power hadn’t prepared enough.

Time left was meager.

Should a genuine Immortal Venerable of Divinity Transformation descend on Profound Yellow, consequences would be dire.

Chu Huaixu possessed Fruit Position.

But he was merely a half-baked Immortal Venerable.

He knew well how terrifying a genuine Immortal Venerable of Divinity Transformation was!

That was above what the Profound Yellow Nine Realms could challenge.

"Once near finishing off the Kunlun big squad, I should return to the sect. Might there be surprises awaiting?" thought the Dead Fox.

When day breaks, most of these "fertilizers" had been cleared.

Chu Huaixu and his companions flew, only occasionally finding hidden Kunlun lower cultivators.

Those taking the Gou Dao route couldn’t escape his detection.

The principle that even mosquito legs are meat was adhered to as Chu Huaixu left none unchecked.

Say what you will, accumulation proved effective.

Scattered together, he acquired nearly ten million experience points.

The total experience points in the Character Panel finally exceeded the one billion mark.

"Let’s go! Back to the Daoist Sect!"

Chu Huaixu gestured toward Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu.

After days of battle, Han Shuangjiang was fine, but Xu Ziqing needed to retreat immediately for closed-door cultivation.

The Evil Sword had absorbed too much power from him.

He might need to use that piece of human skin and the Donghuang Ring.

Those two things suited him now.

Strictly speaking, they were Xiaoxu’s spoils.

He presented them as treasures to his senior brother.

Chu Huaixu faintly sensed those two items could be of great use in the future.

Especially that piece of human skin.

The three flew back to the Daoist Sect, encountering very few Kunlun Evil Cultivators on the way.

Near the sect, they met many returning Daoist disciples on the road.

These people all saluted the three direct disciples with eyes filled with reverence.

Passing by the Martial Arts Arena, Chu Huaixu’s eyes lit up.

"There is indeed a big surprise!"

At the Daoist Sect’s Martial Arts Arena, Xiang Yan and others had set up a grand array together.

The cage formation held a large group of captured Kunlun cultivators!
