Chapter 277: Chapter 277 – Inviting All Heroes In The World
30 years old!
Zhou Xuanji inwardly sighed. Time pa.s.ses so quickly; in the blink of an eye, I’ve turned 30.
Fortunately, this was the Northern Wilderness.
He was still young and counted as a young man.
“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner has obtained [Bronze] Fire Extinguis.h.i.+ng Sword…
Eh?
Bronze?
It’s my 30th birthday, so why not give me something great?
Zhou Xuanji looked quite angry and the disciples in front of him became greatly afraid.
Why had their Grand-Teacher’s expression suddenly become so dark?
“[Gold] Flying Leaf Sword, [Amethyst] Elemental Soul Sword!”
In the end, the Sword Spirit did not give him something great.
Now, Amethyst grade legendary swords could no longer make him excited.
After all, Amethyst grade legendary swords could not threaten Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals.
Even the higher grade Glorious Gold grade legendary swords were the same.
Only Heavenly Soul legendary swords or even higher grade swords could make him happy now.
This was especially so with the current circ.u.mstances. He desperately wanted an Intimidating Spirit grade legendary sword to appear.
Heavenly Soul, Intimidating Spirit, Celestial Shaking, G.o.d Slaying, Armageddon!
Just thinking about them made him feel excited!
“Alright, all of you go and continue to train,” Zhou Xuanji said as he waved his hand, and Xiao Jinghong, Ning Zifeng and the others left with the second generation disciples.
He deeply breathed in; he could not put all of his hope in his swords—he had to become stronger himself as well!
He would work hard to cultivate the World Buddha Art!
The three swords’ information appeared before his eyes:
Sword Name: Fire Extinguis.h.i.+ng Sword
Grade: Bronze
Description: In ancient times, a cultivator walked the world. Every time, he would use this sword to extinguish flames. After extinguis.h.i.+ng flames 10,000 times, this sword became a Bronze grade legendary sword.
Sword Name: Flying Leaf Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: This sword has absolute control over tree leaves and has extremely destructive power. It can detect the spirits of all trees.
Sword Name: Elemental Soul Sword
Grade: Amethyst
Description: Elemental Souls are an extremely powerful type of soul. Once released, this sword can summon an Elemental Soul army.
Not too bad!
Zhou Xuanji brought the three swords out and familiarized himself with them before he continued to cultivate.
On the other side, the second generation disciples walked on the mountain path, and Xu Yang anxiously asked Xiao Jinghong, “Revered Teacher, why did Grand-Teacher look so angry?”
Beixiao w.a.n.gjian glared at him, causing him to shrink back.
Ning Zifeng chuckled as he said, “Yang Di has come out to the world again and has gained such fame; master naturally does not want to fall behind. He most likely comprehended something.”
Hearing this, everyone felt that this made sense.
Everyone felt that Zhou Xuanji would be able to become the number one in the world in the future.
Facing the current number one, he naturally would not feel great.
“Focus on cultivating. During this time that Yang Di controls the human race, it will be our chance to rise up. Don’t disappoint master,” Lin Changge said, sounding hopeful.
He was already imagining the scene of Zhou Xuanji facing Yang Di.
It was not just him, everyone in Skyfall was the same.
The sun set and the moon rose.
Late at night, Zhou Xuanji and Jiang Xue sat together on the cliff, looking at the stars in the sky.
“I’m 30 this year, which means you should be 34,” Zhou Xuanji sighed. Hearing this, Jiang Xue gave a sinister smile and pinched his waist.
“Hm?” She asked with a smile that did not seem like a smile, killing intent in her eyes.
“Err, you’re almost 38 years old,” Zhou Xuanji said, and Jiang Xue’s gaze became softer.
Although she was already 34 years old, she was still like a young girl. Even though she was intelligent, she was as pure as snow.
This beautiful woman had already been with him for 28 years; whether in his previous life or in this life, she was the person who had been with him the longest.
He hoped that even after 10,000 years, the person next to him would still be her.
He would definitely work hard to achieve this.
“That’s right, I want to marry you. When do you think is a suitable time?” Zhou Xuanji looked ahead as he asked softly.
Jiang Xue was not surprised and her face became slightly red as she said, “I’m happy with anything you want.”
Before, Zhou Xuanji had felt that he was not old enough, so he never mentioned this.
During this period of time, he had done a lot of thinking.
It was better to treasure the moment.
No matter if they got married or not, he would always feel responsibility towards Jiang Xue.
“In actuality, the day I establish my sect, I want everyone in the world to know that you are my wife. However, I feel that that day is too far away and was worried that you would be sad,” Zhou Xuanji said sincerely. These were his true thoughts.
Jiang Xue hugged his arm and leaned against him as she said, “Then we’ll wait until you establish your sect. It’s not a good time right now, and both of us need to focus on cultivating. I don’t want you to be distracted because of me.
“Of course, I also want everyone in the world to know about our marriage; how grand would that be? In the future, the day of our sect’s establishment will be our marriage anniversary. I feel happy just thinking about that.”
Zhou Xuanji felt a warmth within his heart and he held her hand as he started to talk about the details of them getting married in the future.
In the distance, in front of a building, Xian Xianghua looked at the backs of the two of them and coldly harrumphed, looking quite displeased.
This boy did not put her in his eyes at all!
After Yang Di defeated Jihuang Demon Lord, the status quo greatly changed.
That same month, he had stormed into the demon army, killing millions of demons and saving the Sanctums’ people who had been imprisoned. This caused Yang Di’s reputation to greatly increase, and his name spread across the world.
Three months later, all of the remaining demon army forces in human territories had been destroyed.
In the fourth month, Jihuang Demon Lord had withdrawn his army and all of the demon race’s forces had retreated. The demon race’s territory had even decreased by a bit.
In the sixth month, Yang Di descended to the Canghai Ziggurat and invited the Eight Sanctums, Seven Empires, and other first-rate factions to gather at the Duantian Cliff.
The meeting was set for one year later, and rumors spread everywhere, saying that Yang Di wanted to rule over the human race.
Based on his impressive show of power recently, in the human race, voices of a.s.sent far outnumbered voices of disagreement.
In the human race, Yang Di’s reputation was unprecedented and never to be duplicated.
Compared to him, Zhou Xuanji was like a grain of rice compared to a bright moon.
At the summit of Skyfall, Zhou Xuanji deeply frowned. Daoya Old Man, Xian Xianghua, Xiao Jinghong, and the others were also gathered there.
Zhao Congjian had received an invitation from the Canghai Ziggurat, inviting the owner of Skyfall, Zhou Xuanji, to Duantian Cliff.
Now, everyone in the world knew that Zhou Xuanji was at Skyfall and would create a sect sooner or later. He could already be considered a faction.
“Hmph! Yang Di is wildly ambitious! I’m going to go to the surrounding mountains, spread the news, and gather the Tanhua Sect’s disciples!” Xian Xianghua coldly harrumphed before disappearing.
Zhou Xuanji did not pay any mind to her and continued to think to himself.
Should he go to Duantian Cliff?
“You can’t personally go. Even though Yang Di is number one in the world, no one knows his true character. What if he kills you? The whole world believes that if you continue to grow, you will be able to become first in the world. Moreover, the Tianxia Map is in your hands,” Daoya Old Man reminded him, a serious look on his face.
He had experienced much in his lifetime, his beloved disciple even dying. By now, he could see deeply into people’s hearts.
Lin Changge said, “Let me go and represent Skyfall. Surely Yang Di won’t kill me, as long as he’s not stupid.”
If Yang Di killed him, his reputation would plummet.
Moreover, there was another faction standing behind him, the Hegemon Sword Sect!
