1574 A Group of Frightened Outsiders
This black-robed youth looked young. Too young!
His appearance could deceive people, but the aura on his body could not. For cultivators, outer appearances could deceive others, but auras could not.
And Chu Yunfan’s aura was very young.
In other words, this native was about the same age as them, or maybe even younger. And he had such a terrifying cultivation. Even in the outside world, it was enough to make a name for himself.
How could such a terrifying existence be raised in the Violet Thunder Sword Domain, which was considered the age of chaos? A true dragon could not be raised in the water. This should be an unchanging principle.
However, the young man in front of them had broken all the rules.
Chu Yunfan looked at the young experts who had appeared in front of him, and his face revealed a somewhat excited expression. Although these people didn’t seem to be a threat to him, it was enough to surprise Chu Yunfan. In this world, he had only ever met two Golden Cores. One was the leader of the Ultimate West Demon League, and the other was the Great Ancestor Demon. However, both of them had died at his hands.
Chu Yunfan felt that no one in the world was his match.
In the blink of an eye, a year had pa.s.sed since the demon rebellion was quelled. During the past year, the territory of Great Wei continued to expand, and the power of the kingdom was as strong as the noon sun. All the major factions submitted, and Great Qi could not compete with Great Wei. It was now the strongest kingdom. Throughout the land, everyone knew that Great Wei was supported by Chu Yunfan. As long as the was alive, the power of Great Wei would not disappear.
But for the past six months, Chu Yunfan had not appeared in public. Half a year ago, Wei Wuji sent news that in the depths of the Northern Desert, there was a relic left behind by the Violet Thunder Sword Sect.
This relic had only been accessible to the past Violet Thunder Swords sect masters, and the function of the array around it was to absorb the surrounding spirit energy and purify it. Spirit energy was impure compared to spirit stones. There were all kinds of impurities in it. If one absorbed it directly, the efficiency would be very low.
At Chu Yunfan’s current level, he would not directly absorb spirit energy. Only spirit energy in some special environments could satisfy his requirements. Normally, he would absorb low-grade spirit stones when he cultivated. But this array was different. It could purify spirit energy directly. For an expert like Chu Yunfan, this purified spirit energy was good.
After purification, the spirit energy here had surpa.s.sed low-grade spirit stones and was comparable to middle-grade spirit stones. Middle-grade spirit stones were rare finds. Though Wei Wuji sent some here and there, it was far from enough.
According to ancient records, there was no shortage of middle-grade spirit stones in the era before, but they had been consumed. The conditions for the formation of middle-grade spirit stones were far more difficult than low-grade spirit stones. It was because of this that Chu Yunfan rushed here as soon as he received the news from Wei Wuji.
After half a year of bitter cultivation, not only had Chu Yunfan stabilized his fledgling Core Form Stage cultivation, but he had also broken through to the intermediate Core Form Stage. The spirit coc.o.o.n formed around him was formed by countless spirit energy.
Chu Yunfan sighed. After the Violet Thunder Sword Sect was destroyed, this array had not been activated for a long time. It was still not enough to face Chu Yunfan, who was like a bottomless pit. It could only barely help him enter the intermediate Core Form Stage.
If it were outside, this would be shocking. The spirit energy here was so dense that it was enough for several Golden Cores to break through. However, it was far from enough for Chu Yunfan.
However, the benefits of high-level spirit energy were needless to say. Chu Yunfan’s physical cultivation reached an incredible level. It was difficult for him to advance further, but under the washing of this high-level spirit energy, he managed to advance another step. This caused his combat strength to soar again. Although he was only at the intermediate Core Form Stage now, in terms of cultivation, ordinary intermediate Golden Cores were no match for him.
These newcomers had been attacked by his hou clone. If Chu Yunfan had attacked personally, their outcome would not be any better. Ordinary Golden Cores were no match for him.
Chu Yunfan had merged his Ash Fire Physique into the hou’s body. After more than a year, he could barely move. Even though he had many brilliant possession techniques in his mind, this hou’s strength far exceeded the Core Stage and was unfathomable. One could imagine how difficult it would be for Chu Yunfan to control it. The hou was very powerful and its body was invincible. Chu Yunfan, who could control its body, could easily injure Golden Cores and kill half-step Golden Cores.
The remaining people looked at Chu Yunfan. They didn’t know what he was thinking. They only felt that under Chu Yunfan’s gaze, the pressure on them increased. They felt as if they were being stared at by a terrifying existence. Even if they were stared at by their sect elder in such a manner, they would be this terrified.
Chu Yunfan stood on the head of the huge hou and looked down at them with his arms crossed. He then said, “Tell me who you are. With your strength, you don’t seem like people of this land.”
In the first half of this year, Chu Yunfan had traveled to the ends of the earth and had not managed to uncover any hidden sects. That was why he was confident there were no other powerful sects here. The appearance of so many young half-step Golden Cores and even a Golden Core made him realize that these people were probably not from around here.
“You’re right, sir. We aren’t from the Violet Thunder Sword Domain,” the paled-faced youth answered.
He gritted his teeth. Although he had confirmed that Chu Yunfan was not a demon or an old man, the person who had reached the top came first on the road of cultivation. Now that their lives were in Chu Yunfan’s hands, he did not dare to make any rash moves.
‘Violet Thunder Sword Domain…’ Chu Yunfan thought, ‘It seems like the people outside call this place the Violet Thunder Sword Domain. It’s probably related to the Violet Thunder Swords.’
“Are you from the outside world?” Chu Yunfan said.
“That’s right. We’re from the Grand Xia Empire. May I know your name, sir?” the pale-faced man replied.
