The young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Yunlin, had been kidnapped, and the entire Emperor Star was in turmoil because of this. And at this time, the culprit of this matter was casually walking in a desolate and hazy mountain, without the slightest bit of worry.
He found a secluded place deep in the mountains and set up a series of sealing barriers around it. After doing all this, a light flashed in his hand, and two medium-sized cyan jade bottles appeared. After uncorking the bottles, a faint fragrance could immediately be smelled.
"Seventy Golden Cores should be enough for me to step into the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Illusory God Realm …"
Jiang Xiaofan muttered to himself.
Not long ago, in the battle with the twenty Human Emperors of the Demon Killing Alliance and the masters of other small sects, his harvest was indeed very great. Although he did not break into the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Illusory God Realm, he had reached the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Illusory God Realm, and was not far from the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
These seventy Golden Cores were naturally extorted from the two Human Emperors of the Zhu family. Now, he wanted to use the spiritual energy contained in these seventy Golden Cores to help him reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Illusory God Realm. He was not far from the Ninth Heavenly Layer, and now with these seventy Golden Cores, he believed that he could step into it.
"Let's begin!"
He sat cross-legged and began to refine the Golden Cores in the jade bottles.
A faint silver radiance spread out from his body, and then a dazzling golden light flashed. Purple lightning intertwined, and several ancient scriptures in his body began to operate on their own, absorbing the spiritual energy of the Golden Cores at an extremely fast speed.
One bead, two beads, three beads … eleven beads … thirty beads …
"There are still no signs of a breakthrough …"
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head.
It was easy to rely on pills to increase one's cultivation in the beginning, but it became more difficult in the later stages. The consumption of pills increased exponentially. This was also the reason why there were very few people in the cultivation world who used pills to increase their cultivation. It was because they could not afford it.
In the world of cultivation, elixirs were generally used to restore divine power or heal injuries.
Of course, if it was the legendary Immortal Pill or Emperor Pill, then it would be different. Pills of this level all contained fragments of the Great Path. If one could consume an Immortal Pill or Emperor Pill, not only would one's cultivation improve greatly, one's comprehension of the Great Path would also soar rapidly, reaching a shocking level.
Everyone knew that pills were divided into five levels: Origin Pill, Gold Pill, Spirit Pill, Immortal Pill, and Emperor Pill.
Among them, from Elemental Core to Spirit Core, the gap between these three levels was not very big. However, from Immortal Core, the gap was huge. It could be said that a hundred million Spirit Cores could not compare to a single Immortal Core. As for the Emperor Pill, there was no need to mention it. It had always only existed in legends, and it was hard to say if anyone could refine it!
That was an existence comparable to saint medicines, or perhaps even more precious. It was a supreme treasure that could truly revive the dead. Even Sage Heavenly Realm experts would be envious of it. Therefore, Jiang Xiaofan was very skeptical. Was there anyone in the world who could refine pills of this level?
"Again!"
Jiang Xiaofan thought to himself as he continued to refine the Gold Pills.
From beginning to end, there was a faint gold and silver light lingering around his body. From time to time, there would be purple lightning flashing on the surface of his body, making him look like a supreme war god from ancient times. The aura around his body was very frightening.
The consumption rate of the Gold Pills did not change, and it decreased evenly. 36 pills, 37 pills, 38 pills … 47 pills, 48 pills, 49 pills. Soon, a total of 53 Gold Pills were refined by Jiang Xiaofan. Unfortunately, he still had not reached the Ninth Heaven of the Illusory God Realm from the peak of the Eighth Heaven of the Illusory God Realm.
"Continue!"
Jiang Xiaofan was not depressed at all. He continued to refine the Gold Pills and absorb the huge amount of Spiritual Qi.
Anyway, these Gold Pills were not his. Even if they were wasted in the end, he would not feel the slightest pity. If he broke through as he expected, then it was naturally worth being happy because these Gold Pills were given to him by others. Just thinking about it made him feel good.
"Buzz!"
Outside his body, the brilliance gradually became resplendent. The golden radiance jumped, the silver splendor danced, and there were even strands of purple lightning intertwining nearby, illuminating the surrounding void with a riot of colors. It was very beautiful.
The Golden Cores continued to be consumed. Fifty-six, fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine … sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-five …
"Crack!"
Just when there were only two Gold Pills left, a slight crisp sound came from Jiang Xiaofan's body. The divine radiance outside his body suddenly increased by several folds. After that, it was followed by an even purer and more powerful divine power, which made Jiang Xiaofan immediately feel comfortable, and he almost groaned.
He finally broke through to the Ninth Heaven of the Illusory God Realm!
He stretched his body, and the bones in his body suddenly crackled as if he was frying soybeans.
He couldn't help but sigh. Using medicinal pills to increase one's cultivation was really too wasteful. One had to know that he was at the peak of the Eighth Sky of the Illusory God Realm, and there was only a fine line between him and the Ninth Sky. It was so small that it could be ignored, and he himself felt that he could break through at any time.
But even so, he still spent a total of 68 Golden Cores to cover that small distance that was almost negligible. 68 Gold Pills! According to this method of breaking through, he estimated that if he was at the early stage of the Eighth Sky of the Illusory God Realm, he would need to refine at least several tens of thousands of Gold Pills to reach the early stage of the Ninth Sky of the Illusory God Realm.
Who would be able to bear such a price?
"Tsk tsk, spending 68 Gold Pills like this, although it's a bit of a pity, but who cares. It's not like I have to spend money, so it's a waste not to use it, hehe …"
Jiang Xiaofan laughed lowly.
After entering the Ninth Sky of the Illusory God Realm, he felt that his sea of consciousness had become more solid, and there was a mysterious power Resuscitation. He slightly looked inwardly. In his sea of consciousness, there was actually an additional faint golden shadow on the Twelfth Stage Golden Lotus Throne, which gave him a fright.
"Is this the appearance before the Primordial Spirit is condensed?"
He muttered in a low voice.
He suddenly thought of another thing. It was time for him to find a place to break through to the Human Emperor Realm so that he could better condense the laws of heaven and earth. Just like Cang Mu Heng, without finding a suitable place to break through, he would rather forcefully suppress his cultivation and not break through.
"Let's not talk about this for now. We still have to deal with the Zhu Family first."
He said in a deep voice.
It was still in this place that he began to wholeheartedly comprehend the Sky-Splitting Sword Art for the first time. He wanted to comprehend the third sword art of the Sky-Splitting Sword Art in the shortest time possible so that he could raise the Sky-Splitting Killing Formation to another level. This was his trump card.
Would the Zhu Family obediently hand over those treasures to him and then obediently leave? Even if Jiang Xiaofan was an idiot, he wouldn't think so. Just like himself, would he really let Zhu Yunlin go? That was obviously impossible. He wasn't in the Emperor Heaven Sect now, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Speaking of which, the Sky-Splitting Sword Art is really difficult, but the Sky-Splitting Killing Formation is even more difficult. It's too tiring!"
He pursed his lips.
But even so, he had to admit that the Sky-Splitting Sword Art was extremely terrifying. Although there were only nine sword moves, each move was more terrifying than the last. They all contained an incomparably terrifying killing intent and were incomparably sharp.
As for the Sky-Splitting Killing Formation, it was even more difficult to comprehend. It was even more difficult than the Buddhist scriptures, Dao scriptures, and Thunder God Technique.
He estimated that he would have to reach the peak of the Luo Tian Realm before he could completely comprehend the Sky-Splitting Killing Formation and set it up completely. At that time, he couldn't imagine how terrifying the power of the Sky-Splitting Killing Formation would be. With the Sky-Splitting Nine Swords combined as one, as the innate foundation of the formation, even Saint Heavens Realm existences would be terrified.
"Let's begin. I must comprehend the Sky-Splitting Soul Snatching Sword Art!"
Jiang Xiaofan thought to himself and began to comprehend on a deeper level. This place was uninhabited, and even a Microscopic Realm demonic beast would be hard to find. Therefore, he wasn't worried at all that someone would find him here.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. One day, two days, three days … In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaofan had been comprehending the Way for five days. Five days later, he still showed no signs of waking up. The only change was that the aura outside his body had become stronger, from the initial gentleness to the gradual sharpness.
In these five days, the cultivation world of Ziwei was naturally turbulent, and there was not a single day of peace.
Zhu Xidao moved personally with a cold expression. He personally searched for Jiang Xiaofan's whereabouts in the cultivation world of Ziwei. Everywhere he passed, there was dead silence. Even the existence of the peak of the Renhuang Realm had to retreat.
The other disciples of the Zhu Family were even more frantic as they ran around Ziwei Star. Each of them was filled with murderous intent, and their bodies were surrounded by cold and fierce hostility. In these five short days, countless cultivators on Ziwei Star had died. All of them died at the hands of the disciples of the Zhu Family, and the reason was that these people were secretly discussing the Zhu Family.
Because of Jiang Xiaofan, the hidden Zhu Family's reputation had been tarnished, and it had become the topic of discussion among many cultivators. During this period, they naturally had to show off their power. If anyone dared to discuss the previous matter and speak disrespectfully of the Zhu Family in the slightest, the disciples of the Zhu Family would kill them with iron and blood.
And it was also at this time that people truly understood how terrifying the hidden families were.
This time, the hidden Zhu Family had sent out nearly a hundred clansmen, and almost all of them were young cultivators. And it was this group of young cultivators, the weakest among them was at the fifth heaven of the Illusory God Realm, and half of them had reached the peak of the ninth heaven of the Illusory God Realm. Their terrifying strength made the whole world quiet down.
It should be known that even in the most powerful of the four major immortal sects, Ziwei Jiao, in its heyday, there were only a dozen young cultivators who could reach the Illusory God Realm. This was already very impressive.
But looking at the Zhu Family, any ordinary disciple of the family who walked out was already so powerful, and this was only the tip of the iceberg of the Zhu Family's overall strength. It was truly difficult for people to imagine exactly how terrifying the strength of the so-called Zhu Family, or the so-called hidden family, was!
"Jiang Xiaofan, get the fuck out here and hand over our Young Master. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape death no matter where you go!"
Many disciples of the Zhu Family cursed furiously.
The entire cultivation world of the Ziwei Star was deathly silent, and many people were trembling with fear. Even the Masters and Grand Elders of the four major immortal sects could only maintain their silence. As Mysterious Immortal Realm experts, they were usually high and mighty, but now they could only remain silent when facing the hidden family.
Because before the hidden family, they were nothing.
Perhaps their own strengths were sufficiently formidable, but they had no choice but to consider the interests of their sects. At this moment, the Masters of the four major immortal sects had given a strict order, and the disciples of their sects had to obediently stay within their sects. At this precarious juncture, if they accidentally infuriated the Zhu Family, then it wouldn't be worth it.
Another two days passed, and the two grey-robed old men of the Zhu Family reappeared. Their expressions were incomparably cold, and their voices sounded in the cultivation world of the Ziwei Star, "Jiang Xiaofan, our Zhu Family has already prepared the things you want. Quickly show yourself and hand over our Young Master!"
The two grey-robed old men didn't just inform Zhu Xidao, they also reported to the Zhu Family Head. And the Zhu Family Head obviously cared a lot about his youngest son. He immediately prepared ten supreme treasures, ten spirit pills, and ten ancient herb kings, and had the two grey-robed old men bring these immortal treasures out again to safely rescue Zhu Yunlin.
