Wuxin the Monk's Shrewdness
Just as the fist was about to strike, Lao Cao summoned a Third-grade Top-tier Sha Blood Cauldron, enveloping himself within it.
With a muffled thud.
The Blood Cauldron, along with Lao Cao, was instantly blasted out of the sea and soared into the sky.
No! Wait!
I was wrong!
Please spare my life!
I'd gladly serve you like a slave!
Lao Cao's skull was cracked open, and his brains splattered everywhere, yet he still endured the immense pain and begged for mercy.
Zhang Xuanchen, who had been waiting for a long time, was not going to listen to his nonsense.
Go to hell and repent!
"A hurricane rises from the heavens, a sword presses down on ten thousand mountains!"
Myriad Ren Penetrating Heaven!
Zhang Xuanchen's fiery body had long since vanished, replaced by extremely sharp Wind Attribute Spiritual Energy.
Ugh--!
The originally sunny and breezy weather suddenly turned into a fierce gale!
Countless wind blades attacked Lao Cao.
Lao Cao burned his lifespan, achieving the ultimate sublimation.
Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, and the wind blades seemed endless.
It was too late to reverse the situation.
Pfft!
His right arm was severed by a wind blade, and the falling snow stained the sea surface crimson.
No! Spare my life!
I don't want to die!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
As the wind blades continued to cut, Lao Cao's body was sliced into pieces.
He was just about to escape with his soul.
But Zhang Xuanchen grabbed him.
He also grabbed a black Storage Ring.
The Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire surged forth from his hand.
"No! I beg..."
Lao Cao's voice had barely escaped when he was reduced to ashes by the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire.
After killing the two, Zhang Xuanchen flashed to Luo Lingshuang's side.
The Great Sage also burst forth from the deep sea.
The seawater on my body evaporated instantly.
He said, "Xuan Chen, if you ask me, you and Ling Shuang shouldn't have made a move."
I also wanted to use these two Evil Cultivators to hone my Talent Skill.
Looking down at the pale red seawater beneath him, the Great Sage pouted, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
Zhang Xuanchen chuckled lightly, "Don't be angry."
Evil Cultivator are treacherous and cunning; we must not give them a chance to react, otherwise unexpected things may happen.
The wise thing to do is to kill him with swift and decisive action.
Moreover, if anyone wants to hone their Talent Skill, Shuang'er and I can do it too.
It will take another half month to reach the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.
"For the next two weeks, we won't practice Law Technique; we'll just help you hone your Talent Skill, okay?"
Now that he has reached the Late Third Stage, the Great Sage's strength far surpasses that of Late Golden Core cultivator.
He was even stronger than Zhang Chongxian, who had cultivated a seventh-level Cultivation Method.
Zhang Xuanchen alone was no match for him; he could only fight him with Luo Lingshuang.
As expected, the Great Sage was overjoyed upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words:
Excellent! Excellent!
During this period of travel, you are either cultivating or on the path of cultivation.
I'm so bored.
Hearing this, Luo Lingshuang joked, "I think your honing of your Talent Skill is just a pretense."
It's really boring.
"Hehehe, yes, we have them all."
"Hahaha!"
In the distance, the Wuxin the Monk watched the Two People and a Monkey chatting and laughing.
I couldn't help but swallow.
Cold sweat streamed down my forehead.
It was as if I had seen something extraordinary.
My body was trembling.
He thought to himself:
Zhang... Zhang Xuanchen!
How could that be?
How is that possible!
Two years ago, when I went to the Zhang Family's wedding banquet with my master, Zhang Xuanchen was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!
How did it become a Golden Core cultivator so quickly?!
The Wuxin the Monk's lips trembled incessantly.
I just can't figure it out.
The CPU is almost overheating.
Perhaps he had already figured out the reason.
That is, Zhang Xuanchen has been hiding his cultivation level and talent.
He doesn't have Dual Spirit Root, but rather... the legendary Heavenly Spirit Root!
Only someone with such talent could break through to the Golden Core stage before the age of thirty!
He just didn't want to believe it.
What to do? What to do?
This shocking secret has been uncovered!
Will I be killed to silence me?
What to do? What to do?
Surrender!
Yes! Surrender!
You absolutely won't go wrong by acknowledging Zhang Xuanchen as your boss!
A prodigy with Heavenly Spirit Root!
In the future, it will surely take me across the Endless Sea to the Central Land Immortal Continent!
No wonder Luo Lingshuang took a liking to him!
It's connected!
Everything is working now!
Xuanjing observed the change in Wuxin's expression and said in a voice, "Brother Chen, Ling Shuang."
That monk was present at your wedding.
He is Disciple of Buddha of Tianluo Temple.
The number one among the younger generation, he is not even a hundred years old, yet he already has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Mid Stage.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next abbot of Tianluo Temple.
He has already recognized you.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen frowned slightly.
Tianluo Temple is located in the westernmost part of the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain, bordering the Western Wasteland Gobi and the Xuanwu Sea Region.
It's quite far from the Zhang Family.
In over four hundred years, the Zhang Family had no more than three interactions with Tianluo Temple.
There was no enmity between them.
He nodded to Luo Lingshuang and the Great Sage, then flashed behind the Wuxin the Monk.
Seeing Wuxin still in a daze, Zhang Xuanchen's heart stirred.
It seems the news that I am a Golden Core cultivator has really shocked this guy.
He reached out and placed his hand on Wuxin's shoulder.
The latter was so frightened that his body stiffened.
He immediately distanced himself from the two.
Before Zhang Xuanchen could speak, she opened her Storage Ring, held a golden Sarira that shimmered in the light, and knelt before Zhang Xuanchen.
"Boss! Don't kill me!"
I'm a good person!
This is a High Antiquity Sarira that I obtained in a Secret Realm in the Western Wasteland Gobi.
Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and I am unable to unravel the fortuitous opportunity within!
Now I offer it to the boss as a token of my gratitude for saving my life!
Of course, a small Sarira cannot repay the elder brother's life-saving grace.
Today, I Wuxin to acknowledge the Zhang Family Head as my superior.
From now on, I will obey the boss's every command!
As he spoke, he turned and looked up at the sky, making Heavenly Dao Oath:
"I have no intention of making another oath. From this day forward, I, Wuxin, am the younger brother of Zhang Xuanchen, the patriarch of the Zhang family of Xuanxiao Mountain."
Never harm the interests of the Zhang Family, strictly obey Zhang Xuanchen's orders, and never expose Zhang Xuanchen's secrets.
I am willing to dedicate myself to the Zhang Family until my dying breath!
Those who disobey will have their souls destroyed and will never be reincarnated!
Heavenly Dao bears witness!
Um?
The Wuxin the Monk's series of bizarre actions left Zhang Xuanchen somewhat bewildered.
But in a flash, I realized the reason.
This person has discovered their secret and is afraid they'll kill someone to cover it up.
Only then did he voluntarily Heavenly Dao Oath.
He's a smart person, though.
Looking at the ancient Buddha Sarira in Wuxin's hand, Zhang Xuanchen showed no politeness whatsoever.
He waved.
The Sarira instantly appeared in his palm.
His goal is the Sarira, there's nothing to hide.
He put the Sarira into his Myriad Spirit Ring, looked at Wuxin kneeling on the ground, and said expressionlessly:
"Oh? You are Disciple of Buddha of Tianluo Temple."
The future abbot.
Are you willing to be my Zhang?
"If it were anyone else, I would rather die than accept it!"
"But if I were to become the subordinate of two monstrous Heavenly Spirit Root, I would be willing!" Wuxin paused after saying this.
He met Zhang Xuanchen's deep eyes.
He took a deep breath and continued, "To be honest..."
The reason I acknowledge you as my boss is twofold: firstly, because I'm afraid of dying.
Secondly, we want to go further.
Go and see a wider world.
At Tianluo Temple, unless a great fortuitous opportunity arises...
Half-step Nascent Soul is the limit of my life!
