Chapter 171: The Great Yang Emperor Dominates the World
The swordsman in black scanned everyone in the inn. Seeing that all the tables were full, he spoke, “Who is willing to let me sit with them?”
Silence!
No one replied to him.
He immediately walked up and sat down at the table with only three people.
His arrival stifled the atmosphere of the entire inn.
Beixiao w.a.n.gjian said softly, “Looks like this guy is not easy to deal with.”
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the rest did not speak.
The swordsman looked left and right. “Everyone, please continue. Sword G.o.d Zhou is the person I admire the most in my life. These days, no one can compare with him in the Sword’s Way. I like this topic.”
With this, the inn became bustling with life again.
“Young man, you have good taste!”
“Indeed. Although his cultivation is not tip-top, his sword techniques are extraordinary.”
“I like his Heavenly Lights the most!”
“That’s nothing. Dozens of swords flying in the sky, that’s impressive.”
“The revival of the Sword’s Way is on Sword G.o.d Zhou’s shoulders.”
The swordsman quickly joined their conversations, which made Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the rest look at each other.
Chongming Demon Monarch covered his face and sighed, “I’m defeated.”
Zhou Xuanji smiled boastfully and said, “Quick, eat and then go. Beixiao, go and ask if our 20 roast ducks are ready.”
It was a headache to have such a good reputation. Wherever he went, people were praising him.
But their praises were true. It was fine as long as they didn’t stop.
Jiang Xue supported her chin with her left hand while she pinched Zhou Xuanji’s face with her right. “Which part of you looks like an upright person? Although you are handsome, you also look shrewd!” She said.
Zhou Xuanji heard her and pushed her hands away gently. “Jealous,” he snorted.
A short while later.
The group left with their 20 roasted ducks wrapped in oil papers.
The swordsman could not help but look at them and he felt that this group was not composed of ordinary people.
He did not know that he had missed the greatest opportunity in his life.
After leaving the desert inn, the group soon found the little black snake and the dragon eagles.
“Did you bring any good food for me?”
The little black snake came up to them and asked while he spat his forked-tongue.
“No. Get lost.”
Chongming Demon Monarch stood in front of him and cried out. After that, he kicked the snake away.
“You… You are such a bully!”
The little black snake could barely hold his anger. If he could defeat this big bull, he would have charged and bit him all over.
“Are we still going Juedi Cliff next?”
Xiao Jinghong asked. Since the world was no longer on Zhou Xuanji’s a.s.s, they no longer needed to hide.
Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “We must obtain the Tianxia Map before Haoqi Alliance. If they dare to pursue and kill us, then we will make them lose both their lives and the map!”
No one had objections. The group traveled toward Juedi Cliff.
As usual, they cultivated and trained along the way.
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Beixiao w.a.n.gjian, and Huang Lianxin positioned themselves at the front, back, left, and right, respectively. They danced with their swords and their movements generated gusts of wind.
Such a method of training could train their mindset and focus.
Huang Lianxin stumbled at the beginning, but she got used to it within half a day.
Jiang Xue followed beside Zhou Xuanji as she continued to practice her hand seals and train her spells.
Han Shenbo humbly learned from Daoya Old Man in front of them.
Chongming Demon Monarch continued to bully the little black snake, while Ah Big and Small Er soared in the sky. Now, the dragon eagles were handsome and majestic. Their wings spanned over 30 meters, and they were like two small hills.
Zhou Xuanji walked as he chewed on his spirit gra.s.s.
He was thinking about how to reach the Fifth Level of the Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation, Flesh Sword!
At the fifth level, his flesh would become the sword!
He antic.i.p.ated the fifth level.
He had a feeling that once he accomplished the Flesh Sword, his prowess would increase tremendously.
And so, three months pa.s.sed quickly.
Zhou Xuanji and his companions continued to travel slowly. They toured along the way during the day and cultivated at night. They didn’t feel bored along the way.
And because of this, they were still quite a distance away from Juedi Cliff.
On this day, they suddenly stopped. The Three-eyed Drought Rodent smelled some treasure. So, Zhou Xuanji sent Zhao Congjian and Han Shenbo to search for it.
Meanwhile, the rest took a break.
“How many demons are among the North Wilderness’ Top Hundred?”
Zhou Xuanji asked Daoya Old Man. Whenever he was free, he loved to inquire about the Northern Wilderness Region.
Daoya Old Man drank some water and smiled as he stroke his long beard, “About 40%. Although their top cultivators are not as powerful as those humans, the demon race as a whole is still more powerful than the humans.”
Chongming Demon Monarch said proudly, “Demons once reigned over the world before, and our reign was longer than you guys. It’s just that our power has waned now.”
The races took turns reigning over this world. Currently, it was humans.
“What is Xian Xianghua’s ranking in Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred?”
Jiang Xue asked curiously. Xian Xianghua became the world’s Top Cultivator twice, but she could not maintain it because of a series of severe injuries.
“Before the battle at Duantian Cliff, she could have been in the top five. But now, I’m not sure. After all, she needs time to recover.”
Daoya Old Man said. Even he could reach the Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred.
“Who are the top five?”
Huang Lianxin inquired further. Curiosity was written all over her face.
Zhou Xuanji looked interested as well. As a saying went, no scholar would claim to be the best, but every warrior wanted to be the best. It was Zhou Xuanji’s goal to become the most powerful cultivator in the world, so naturally, he was concerned about it.
Daoya Old Man introduced the top five with admiration.
“The first, Yang Di, the ancient Emperor who dominated both in ancient times and now.”
“The second, Jihuang Demon Lord, the sovereign Lord of the demon race, who is unparalleled in the world!”
“The third, Yang Wudi, who subverts the Yin and Yang with Qilin Zither.”
“The fourth, Xian Xianghua. Tanhua in the human world, Asura in Hades!”
“The fifth, Huangquan Drake King, the Lord of the oceans, who can control the weather!”
The group listened with full concentration and admiration. These people held the highest authorities in the Northern Wilderness Region.
Daoya Old Man chuckled, “This Yang Di is really powerful. He was the Top Cultivator for three consecutive times. He was called the Great Emperor of the Yang World, who dominates over the world. Ever since he came to power, he had never been defeated. That year, it was he who defeated Xian Xianghua and became the Top Cultivator. Ever since Tanhua Sect began to wane.”
Zhou Xuanji asked with squinted eyes, “Their cultivation stages are all Great Realization?”
It would have been higher.
“No, they surpa.s.sed Great Realization. The higher you go up in the rankings of Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred, the greater the parity in cultivation. For example, based on Xian Xianghua’s age and cultivation, she could have ascended a long time ago, but she continued to delay her ascension and oppressed the human world for thousands of years.”
Daoya Old Man shook his head. When he talked about these legendary persons, he only had admiration and longing.
At this moment!
An arrogant voice came.
“This place belongs to me, Little Evil Lord. Get lost now, or else I will turn all of you into soup stock for my dogs to drink!”
The group heard and frowned slightly.
Chongming Demon Monarch jumped up and cried out, “Oh no! It’s the Little Evil Lord! Could Haoqi Alliance be here already?”
Zhou Xuanji stared and chided at him, “What are you afraid of?”
“Follow us and take a look!”
He got up and walked in the direction in which the voice came from. The rest followed behind him.
Ah Big and Small Er stretched their wings and soared. They flew over to support Zhao Congjian and Han Shenbo.
“Little Evil Lord?”
Zhou Xuanji mumbled to himself, and an extraordinarily beautiful face appeared in his mind.
