Chapter 92: The Blade I Wanted Has Finally Arrived!
After Ning Changyu and Xu Qingzhou departed, Chen Zhixing found no reason to remain in the main hall. He nodded slightly to the drunken Xu family members and left the hall of the main peak.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the forces from the Taichu Holy Land and the Qianyang Academy had yet to arrive, the Dao Discussion Conference couldn't begin. During this time, the elders of the Chen family of Ziwei escorted the Xu family members around and arranged for their younger generation to spar with the new disciples of the Chen family.
None of this had anything to do with Chen Zhixing.
However, what was curious was that there had been no news from Ning Changyu for three consecutive days, which left Chen Zhixing slightly disappointed.
Of course, Chen Zhixing wasn’t the type to be overly concerned with matters between men and women. He wasn't shy or resistant about such matters but felt indifferent and had no desires—he adopted a "go with the flow" attitude.
He was just curious. Given Ning Changyu’s current cultivation in the Illusory Transformation Realm, what method would he use to get the Spiritual Wandering Realm Xu Qingzhou into his bed? Honestly, Chen Zhixing couldn't imagine it.
Inside the secret chamber of the Third Peak.
“The 510th acupuncture point, finally completed.”
Chen Zhixing exhaled deeply, and the brilliant starlight surging through his acupuncture points gradually subsided.
In the past three days, Chen Zhixing had been cultivating in the secret chamber, working on the Bull Demon Star Transformation Technique. This technique was the source of his strength-based Dao, so he naturally wouldn't abandon it. However, the further he progressed in the technique, the more difficult it became.
He finally understood why the founder of one of its components, the Zhou Tian Star Transformation Art, was only able to condense 600 star-filled acupuncture points at his peak before he could go no further. The requirements this placed on the body were simply too high!
Condensing the power of stars into a single acupuncture point was already an extreme challenge, even for those who attained the peak through the path of body cultivation. The body couldn’t bear the strain of having 720 acupuncture points filled with star power!
What’s more, Chen Zhixing’s Zhou Tian Star Transformation Art was further enhanced with the power of the Bull Demon, making the burden on his body even greater!
If it weren't for the supplementary body-strengthening method, Hundred Refinement Golden Body Scripture, from the Bull Demon Star Transformation Technique, Chen Zhixing would have been forced to stop long ago.
“When the body reaches its limit, adding even one more acupuncture point is like the final straw that breaks the camel’s back.”
“At this rate, I may only be able to cultivate a few more star-filled acupuncture points before I hit my limit and can go no further.”
Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, his eyes revealing an understanding.
“To break through this bottleneck, I’ll need to integrate more top-tier body-strengthening techniques into the Bull Demon Star Transformation Technique to enhance the toughness of my physical body.”
With that thought, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but sigh. The Chen family of Ziwei was not a clan known for its mastery of body cultivation techniques. The collection of such methods in the family library was not extensive. The only one suitable for his purposes, the Hundred Refinement Golden Body Scripture, had already been integrated into his cultivation.
Now, his situation was akin to a skilled cook lacking ingredients to work with—he had incredible insight but lacked the methods to improve upon.
"My steps have been too ambitious. Not only do I need better body-strengthening techniques, but I also need techniques that delve into branches of strength-based Dao, like gravity, attraction, and repulsion."
"If I rely solely on myself to search for these methods, it will severely slow my progress."
Chen Zhixing frowned slightly. For the first time, he felt an urgency to establish his own personal force.
As Chen Zhixing pondered over these thoughts, a knock came at the door.
Outside, LuoLuo softly called, "Young Master, the people from Taichu Holy Land and Qianyang Academy have arrived."
Hearing this, Chen Zhixing's eyes lit up instantly.
The blade he was going to use to kill Ning Changyu had finally arrived!
At the mountain gate of Ziwei Mountain.
When Chen Zhixing arrived, he saw the Fourth Peak Lord Chen Tianchen and most of the family’s elders standing solemnly at the gate. On another side stood the members of the Xu family, their faces full of anticipation.
"Zhixing, you’re here," Chen Tianchen nodded at Chen Zhixing.
"Third Young Master."
"The Third Young Master has arrived."
The other elders also greeted him.
"Fourth Uncle, why such a grand reception today?" Chen Zhixing smiled as he naturally walked to stand beside Chen Tianchen at the front of the crowd.
"After all, it's the Taichu Holy Land. They're not like the Xu family; we have to show proper respect," Chen Tianchen said with a smile.
As one of the ancient holy lands in the Eastern Xuan Domain, the Taichu Holy Land had immense power. Although their Immortal Realm master had disappeared thousands of years ago, leaving the holy land less than what it once was, their foundations remained solid. They still had three surviving peak-level elders in the public eye.
In terms of strength, the Taichu Holy Land undoubtedly surpassed the Chen family of Ziwei.
“I’ve heard that the Holy Son Tianhui from Taichu Holy Land is one of the rare Nine Ancient Pattern bearers in the younger generation, and he was born with demon eyes that can unleash supreme powers. He’s one of the top contenders in this year’s Eastern Xuan Domain's talent competition.”
Chen Tianchen smiled as he spoke.
“Mm, I’ve heard of him. Last year, at just eighteen years old, he ventured into the Northern Plains alone and killed a Ninth Level Spiritual Wandering Realm Snow Mountain King Beast as his coming-of-age ceremony,” Chen Zhixing nodded.
While they spoke, a thunderous rumbling sound suddenly came from above!
“They’ve arrived!”
Everyone perked up and looked skyward.
From the clouds high above, three colossal beasts, as massive as mountains, were pulling a golden carriage toward them.
These three beasts had purple skin and a single horn, resembling turtles but without shells. Their terrifying aura reached the Ninth Level of the Spiritual Wandering Realm. Their very breath rumbled like thunder, and lightning crackled around them, forming silver serpents that burst and crackled in the air!
"Three Ninth-Level Spiritual Wandering Realm thunder beasts from the wilds, just to pull a carriage?"
Xu Qinghe and the others from the Xu family were wide-eyed in shock.
For them, a Ninth-Level Spiritual Wandering Realm being would already hold the rank of elder and be highly revered in the Xu family.
Yet here in the Chen family, they had already seen Ninth-Level Spiritual Wandering Realm wild beasts being served as meat, and now three such peak-level thunder beasts were being used just to pull a carriage!
For a moment, aside from Xu Qingzhou, who remained calm, the rest of the Xu family members exchanged glances. They felt both stunned and somewhat ashamed.
With a roar of thunder, the three colossal thunder beasts continued moving forward, revealing the golden carriage that had been hidden in the clouds.
The entire carriage was radiant gold, covered in divine runes and formations. Wherever its wheels passed, it left a trail of fiery wheel marks across the endless sea of clouds.
Inside the carriage, a young man with long purple hair slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with dense black divine runes that wriggled like worms.
