Chapter 1 Rebirth

  After resting in the cave for a night to recover his true strength, Chen Xuan set out towards the small valley at dawn on the second day. Along the way, all the magical beasts he encountered were killed by Chen Xuan, and their internal elixirs were completely absorbed. By the seventh day of the Tianyun Decree's operation, the speed of absorption was getting faster and faster, and it only took a few minutes to absorb everything in his hand.

  The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and the old man sitting in the first place asked.

  "Li Hao, did you personally see Xuan'er kill more than a dozen people from the Wu and Li families?"

  The old man's tone was somewhat disbelieving!

  "Yes, Grandfather. At that time, not only was I present at the scene, but also other disciples of our family were there. Xuan's brother single-handedly killed those fourteen people, among whom seven were killed with one strike, and the remaining one escaped."

  A young man standing at the end of the line said.

  "Xuaner went out for training and after only a short while, he was promoted from fifth rank to sixth rank. The four seventh-rankers were no match for him."

  The old man looked at the few manuals in his hand and thought to himself.

  "What Xuan'er said about having a great adventure seems to be true, no one is allowed to ask about Chen Xuan's adventure when he returns." The old man said with dignity.

  "Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

  "The Wu family doesn't know where they invited a loose cultivator of the Spiritual Martial Realm to deal with our Chen family, what do you think?" The old man said again.

  The dozen or so people sitting in the back row also furrowed their brows.

  "In the past, Wu and Li families combined had only two Spiritual Martial Realm cultivators, Chen family could still cope. Now they have another one, it seems like they are going to make a move against our Chen family." A middle-aged man said.

  "Big brother, I think it's no good. Let's move the younger generation of our family out to continue the family lineage. We old folks will stay here and fight to the death."

  An elderly man said that the old man who spoke was Chen Xuan's second grandfather, a hot-tempered old man.

  Chen Xuan's father also heard about his son's encounter in the present, and his skills had made great progress. Originally, it was a happy event, but now that the family is facing the joint pressure from the Wu and Li families, they don't have the heart to consider their own child's affairs.

  "Master of the house, can't we also seek help from outside?"

  At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and said.

  "Seeking help, do you think I haven't thought of it? Hongling Town is only about a hundred miles in circumference. Generally, there are no high-ranking masters of the Spiritual Martial Realm who come here. They are all some low-level postnatal martial artists who come to Lurong Mountain Range for training and then arrive at Hongling Town. I don't know where the Wu family found this master of the Spiritual Martial Realm!" said Patriarch Chen Batian.

  "For the time being, they don't dare to take action against us, their interests have not been distributed yet. We must also make preparations and strictly manage our family disciples recently. If we can't go out, then we won't go out. In the past, several families didn't dare to openly assassinate each other's disciples. Xuan Er killed more than a dozen of their disciples this time, I don't know if it's settled. This time, one of them escaped and brought the matter to the surface."

  ……

  After walking for two hours, Chen Xuan finally arrived at the entrance of the small valley. The scenery was still as enchanting as before, but Chen Xuan didn't have the mood to appreciate it now. What he needed now was strength.

  The valley wasn't big, only about two kilometers in diameter from front to back. Collecting the aura around him, Chen Xuan carefully moved forward, probing his surroundings. Ninth-grade demonic beasts usually had their spiritual wisdom opened, and Chen Xuan didn't dare to be careless!

  Arriving at the back of a small valley, Chen Xuan discovered a cave. Chen Xuan could also sense that there was a terrifying aura lurking inside. The nine-stage demon beast that Lao Li spoke of should be in this cave.

  "Lao Li, what's our next move?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "Bring him outside, your strength can't be fully utilized in this cave."

  "How can I lure him out!" Chen Xuan asked in doubt.

  "Provocation, the thing the demon beast hates most is someone provoking him."

  Chen Xuan arrived at a distance from the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly towards the mountain cave with a provocative tone.

  All he could hear was a loud roar from the cave, followed by a rustling sound like something crawling out. Chen Xuan picked up his steel knife and retreated dozens of meters back.

  Chen Xuan saw a huge head poking out of the cave.

  "What kind of demon beast is this, it looks like a python." Chen Xuan thought to himself.

  At this time, Lao Li's urgent voice echoed in Chen Xuan's mind again.

  "Kid, this is a giant serpent, not something you can handle right now, retreat quickly."

  "This is a Jiao that can soon enter the Lingwu realm, with a hint of dragon pulse in its body. No wonder no one has entered Xiaoshan Valley for so long, as it's inhabited by such a terrifying creature." Lao Li urged Chen Xuan to quickly retreat.

  Although Chen Xuan had no problem with the upper nine products of the day before yesterday, it was still quite difficult for him to enter the spiritual martial realm of magic beasts.

  Chen Xuan's spirit lifted as soon as he heard that it was about to enter the Lingwu realm, and his blood turned green. If he could absorb the inner elixir of this python, he would be able to reach the eighth rank of post-heaven.

  On this side, Chen Xuan was muttering to himself, on the other side, the entire python's body had come out, Chen Xuan took a look and was also shocked, the entire python's length reached ten zhang, as thick as a water jar, in Chen Xuan's eyes it was simply an enormous creature, Chen Xuan standing in front of him looked like an ant.

  Fight or retreat, Chen Xuan quickly made an analysis in his mind.

  "I'd rather die than retreat. If I back down this time, every subsequent encounter with others will leave me with the thought of retreating, casting a shadow over my future cultivation. Cultivation must be pursued relentlessly!"

  The giant python saw a weak and small human standing in front of it, with a few hints of disdain in its eyes. It seems that this python's intelligence is quite high.

  "Roar!"

  With a loud roar, the rocks on the mountain body fell down in large chunks, and the sound caught up with the sonic boom. Chen Xuan covered his ears and retreated dozens of meters before stopping to resist the impact of the sound.

  "This turtle doesn't mean to harm you, it's probably at a critical stage of its evolution, and it's driving you away."

  Lí Lǎo said to Chen Xuān:

  His intention of not harming Chen Xuan does not mean that Chen Xuan did not want to kill him.

  With a swish, Chen Xuan arrived at Jiao's side and slashed down towards Jiao's Qi Cun with a fierce blow, sparks flying everywhere. This knife surprisingly couldn't even break through the skin, Chen Xuan probing with one move.

  Chen Xuan's true strength had almost tripled from sixth-grade to seventh-grade, and if it were the last time, Chen Xuan himself thought that he could have solved the magic bear with just one knife, so he was confident and wanted to fight a battle with Jiao.

  Jiao felt pain, although he hadn't been cut open, but the true power's impact also brought him a painful feeling.

  I was going to let you go, a human, but you dare to provoke me.

  "Dragon's Tail Sweep!"

  The python's tail was coiled towards Chen Xuan, and if he got wrapped up in it, he would become the python's next meal.

  Chen Xuan's feet jumped up ten meters high, and the python's tail swept past Chen Xuan's feet.

  Taking advantage of the falling posture, Chen Xuan slashed a knife at the python's waist, this time Chen Xuan used his full strength.

  "Hiss!"

  The python's skin was torn open a one-meter-long gash, and fresh blood flowed out of the wound.

  The crocodile was in pain, let out a loud roar, and swung its tail towards Chen Xuan with a fierce sweep.

  Stones on the ground flew about, dozens of stones as big as basins were rolled up by the dragon and thrown at Chen Xuan.
