"Looks like I have to raise my zhenqi cultivation as soon as possible..."
Given how arrogant that fellow was, it was hard to tell when he would fly into a rage. Zhang Xuan had thought that he would be able to make use of this opportunity to kill him by drawing in the heavenly flame tribulation. Yet, who could have thought that not only would he fail to kill him, he would even make things even more troublesome for him?
He had to quickly raise his fleshly body's cultivation base and attract the Heavenly Flame. That way, his soul and body would merge. No matter how arrogant this fellow was, he would definitely be killed.
"The matter with the Jiang family is almost over. It seems that I have to go back as soon as possible, settle the conflict between the Luo family and the Zhang family, and then … go to Mingshi Tang's headquarters!"
If he wanted to advance quickly, he would have to go to Mingshi Tang and find the high-tier breakthrough technique that Kong Shi had left behind. Otherwise, he did not know when he would be able to make a breakthrough.
"Before returning to the Zhang clan, I should assimilate the Ancient Sage corpse first!"
With his soul cultivation reaching the Aureate Body realm, his fighting prowess had increased severalfold. With this, he might be able to successfully forge the corpse into a Soulless Humanoid.
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan entered the Myriad Anthive Nest's folded space and flicked his wrist.
Bang!
The corpse fell to the ground again, creating a large crater.
Thus, Zhang Xuan leaped out from his glabella and headed straight for the exit.
Tss tss tss!
A huge pressure assaulted him, causing his forehead to break out in cold sweat.
Buzz!
His soul shone with a dense golden light, and the pressure on him lessened significantly. He took a few steps forward.
Hu!
He crawled inside.
"So big …"
As soon as he entered the corpse, Zhang Xuan immediately felt as though he had entered a spacious room, with no end in sight. His incomparably huge soul body, in this place, was actually like a toy, not even worth mentioning.
Compared to his physical body, it was like comparing a straw hut to a palace.
Sitting within it, Zhang Xuan slowly tempered his body using the method to forge the Soulless Metal Humanoid so that his soul and body could harmonize with one another.
After an unknown period of time, he stood up again.
"I've already tamed it into a Soulless Metal Humanoid. Let's see if it can still fight..."
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
The forging method of the Soulless Metal Humanoid required a living human in order to be more compatible with it. However, through the modifications made by the Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to forge corpses as well. Even though the degree of control he had over the Soulless Metal Humanoid wasn't as great as that of a living human, it wasn't too far off.
Creak! Creak!
Using his full strength, Zhang Xuan controlled the Ancient Sage corpse to slowly rise to its feet.
Zhang Xuan lifted his feet and took a few slow steps. Then, he felt his face twitch.
That fellow was simply too taxing on his soul energy. In just three steps, he had already expended more than half of his Aureate Body realm soul energy!
In that case, forget about fighting, it was hard to say if he could even throw a punch!
"I'll give it a try …"
Gritting his teeth, he circulated the remaining soul energy in his body, and the gigantic Ancient Corpse charged forward.
Huala!
The folded space immediately began to tremble, emitting a fierce sound. It was as if a curtain had been torn apart, and pitch-black cracks appeared.
"So powerful …"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but fall into a daze as he watched the folded space, which he had stabilized for many years, nearly shatter under a single punch.
Although this fellow's consumption of soul power was shocking … its might was simply too great!
He had set up this folded space multiple times, such that even with Kong Shi's blood droplet and the Dragonbone Divine Spear, it would be difficult for him to tear it apart. Yet, this corpse was actually nearly destroyed with just a light punch …
Didn't this mean that … no matter how powerful those beneath Ancient Sage were, they would be reduced to meat paste with a single punch?
If that was really the case, that would be way too formidable!
As long as he didn't encounter an Ancient Sage, he would be safe. Even if he did encounter an Ancient Sage, he would still have the golden page. With that, he would be able to summon another Soulless Metal Humanoid!
"Hehe, with this, what do I have to fear from those beneath Ancient Sage?"
With a hearty laugh, Zhang Xuan's Primordial Spirit flew out, and after absorbing all the treasures in the surroundings, he entered the folded space once more. Controlling the Ancient Sage corpse, he placed his hand on his waist and bellowed, "Clone, come out!"
Zhang Xuan's clone was in the midst of reinforcing his cultivation when he heard Zhang Xuan's bellow.
"Come, let me show you what I've got!"
Ignoring the other party's attitude, Zhang Xuan chuckled coldly as he threw a punch toward the corpse.
Not expecting Zhang Xuan to already be able to control the corpse, his clone leaped in shock. Unable to dodge in time, he retaliated with a punch of his own.
Peng!
Sou!
His clone was sent flying before vanishing into thin air.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xuan felt a surge of exhilaration wash over him.
He had exchanged blows with that fellow many times, but he had always been pummeled. Now that he had finally vented his frustrations, he was in a good mood.
Let's see if that fellow still dares to show off before me in the future!
However, as exhilarated as he was, he had expended a lot of his soul energy as well. That single punch had nearly depleted all of it.
Leaving the Ancient Sage corpse, Zhang Xuan's soul returned to his physical body. Just as he was about to take out some treasures to replenish his soul energy, his clone suddenly flew over furiously.
"You dare to hit me? You're courting death! "
Zhang Xuan's clone was so infuriated that he was on the verge of exploding. As soon as his clone arrived before Zhang Xuan, he immediately threw a punch at Zhang Xuan.
"That corpse is the one who hit you, not me … Fine, I'll admit it. I'll return to the corpse after I recover …"
Zhang Xuan's face warped in horror.
"Corpse your head!"
How could his clone allow him to say anything?
Peng peng peng peng!
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xuan's face was swollen to the point that he no longer resembled a human. Tears streamed down his cheeks nonstop, and he felt incredibly stifled.
What the heck was going on?
He was unable to defeat his student, his girlfriend, and the Innate Fetal Poison … Forget it all!
To think that he would be pummeled by his clone … and to such an extent at that …
How in the world was he supposed to live?
With a depressed look on his face, Zhang Xuan quickly drove his Heaven's Path zhenqi to recover from his injuries before walking out of the room.
His clone was a brat and a violent maniac. It would be best for him to avoid interacting with him in the future.
It was already noon outside. After exchanging a few words with Jiang Fangyou, Zhang Xuan took out the Dragonbone Divine Spear and pierced through space to leave the area.
Soon, he returned back to the Zhang clan.
"How is it?"
It had been a day and a night since he had left the Zhang clan. As soon as he returned to his residence, Zhang Xuan immediately turned to look at Sun Qiang.
Before leaving, Zhang Xuan had told him to observe the two clans carefully. Surely they wouldn't have gotten into a fight after such a long time?
"They didn't. Since the head of the Luo Clan hasn't returned yet, the Luo Clan has been keeping a low profile for the past two days!"
Sun Qiang quickly explained.
The Luo Clan was here to slap the face of the Zhang Clan, but with their current cultivation, it was impossible for them to do so. The only person who was able to do so was their clan head, but before he returned, they dared not make a move recklessly.
"That's good."
Seeing that the Luo Clan had not gotten into a fight, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He had Sun Qiang take his leave while he hesitated for a moment before changing his appearance once more.
The disguise amulet that Lozosy had given him was extremely useful. He could use it anytime he wanted. Otherwise, he would not have been able to disguise himself so well that even Jiang Fangyou and the other elders would not have been able to see through him.
Under the effects of the disguise amulet, not only would his appearance, soul aura, bloodline, and even his cultivation be the same to others.
His disguise would only be exposed in battle.
Since the Luo Clan was waiting for their clan head, it was about time for their clan head to appear.
Of course, the way he would appear would surely surprise them.
