This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

If that’s the case, that would be great indeed!

The Divine Blood Church had always been his biggest obstacle.

That cult had long been the biggest threat to the Immemorial Path, serving as the enemy of the sectmasters of every generation.

Xuanyangzi had fought the previous leader of the cult before, yet the previous leader had never been as difficult as Xiang Tianfang.

Xiang Tianfang even managed to come up with ways to match Xuanyangzi in terms of power.

He wasn’t worried about the present, given that he was still capable of taking on Xiang Tianfang. He was worried about the future, worrying who in the whole Immemorial Path would be able to take on Xiang Tianfang after he passed. By then, that would have been the biggest problem the sect would have to deal with.

If they could take out Xiang Tianfang as they currently were, that would’ve meant taking out a significant threat. It didn’t matter if Xiang Tianfang was part of the organization. He was still a threat that Xuanyangzi couldn’t afford to ignore.

Lu Xuan rose and put away the stone table, then said to Xuanyangzi, “How about you try it then?”

“Sure, I guess I can give it a go.”

As Xuanyangzi put his hands behind his back, a terrifying aura emanated from his body right away, It caused their surroundings to shake, making everything seem as if they were about to collapse.

That elder of the sect tied up by the sect was almost killed by the aura emanating from Xuanyangzi.

It was yet again a clash of such terrifying levels. The man had just experienced all of it just moments ago and he had to go through it up close and personal again. He felt as if his innards were about to be crushed by that aura, his bones crackling all over.

Lu Xuan emanated his own aura at the same time that Xuanyangzi emanated his. Lu Xuan then entered his ascended, cranking his powers from the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm to the eighth tier, then to the ninth tier.

He was just as powerful as Xuanyangzi, which allowed him to fight on the same level as Xuanyangzi.

Both parties reigned over one side. The two terrifying auras reduced that messed-up world down to something that looked as if it had just been ravaged by a hurricane.

“Interesting.”

As Xuanyangzi raised the corner of his lips, he started his attack right away. The attack conjured a terrifying mill that immediately headed towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan clenched his fist and punched. A golden dragon was conjured and roared at the sky, clashing with that mill immediately.

Boom!

A terrifying rumble was heard throughout the entire place as the clash took place, shaking everything around them. The air trembled, making it seem as if a tsunami just took place.

Both of them put their hands away after throwing out one attack each. Xuanyangzi rescinded his aura as Lu Xuan emerged out of his ascended state, returning to his original level of the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Both sides came to a draw. Xuanyangzi had yet to bring out his true might, while Lu Xuan had yet to show his trump card. He still hadn’t made use of the Auric Flower, after all.

There was simply no need for him to do so. Lu Xuan was only out to give a little demonstration of his powers. He wanted Xuanyangzi to understand that he was powerful enough indeed to get himself involved in such a significant matter.

“You are indeed formidable, friend. Being at such a level of powers at such an age, you would definitely be something significant in the future, even breaking through Divine Transformation Realm.” Xuanyangzi expressed his thoughts. He could fully tell just how extremely formidable Lu Xuan was, after all.

Entering that ascended state would have definitely made Lu Xuan invincible. Even if he couldn’t do so, the presence that Lu Xuan emanated was still already extremely close to that of the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Given Lu Xuan’s age, he was more than just young and capable. He could almost be described as a frightening existence like no other.

However, when Xuanyangzi added the fact that Lu Xuan was of the sacred bloodline and had born Taoism aptitude, everything made sense.

Xuanyangzi was already used to the fact that the sacred ones were more powerful than usual. It was never a bluff; that was a fact which the sacred ones throughout the generations had cemented over and over again throughout the ages.

Currently, the unimaginable level of powers that Lu Xuan demonstrated had far eclipsed his peers. However, it all made sense when him coming from the sacred bloodline was considered.

It was true that everything was within reason.

Lu Xuan waved and added, “Eh, that was nothing. That was but the beginning of cultivation.”

What Lu Xuan had almost said immediately caused Xuanyangzi to choke on himself.

‘Man, you truly are too much. I have no problems with you putting up airs, but I hope you know that it’s best not to take that too far. Bragging has rules too, you know!’

Lu Xuan was simply making a casual comment. Given what he had seen and been through, that was indeed but the beginning of cultivation, yet to Xuanyangzi, that was already taking it too far.

He bragged so much that it seemed as if it could physically cause someone damage.

“I take it that employing that method of yours would come with a steep cost, no?”

Xuanyangzi shot a look at Lu Xuan. The look on his face made what he meant clear enough; stop bragging already.

Lu Xuan seriously said, “Yeah, that’s why I’d need your help now, friend.”

Xuanyangzi felt rather exasperated upon looking at Lu Xuan, thinking that Lu Xuan was far beyond the comprehension of mortals.

Shouldn’t you just blow the matter over and be done with it? Why the hell are you admitting your flaws for?

Xuanyangzi replied, “If it is something within my power to fulfill, please just tell me.” As much as he wanted to retort Lu Xuan, he still knew what was the most important thing right now.

Currently, the most important thing was to take out Xiang Tianfang. It would’ve been best to also deal a crushing blow to the Divine Blood Church in the process.

He was completely fine with ignoring the cost if it meant he could fulfill such an objective.

Lu Xuan said, “I simply need 10 million mid-tier spirit stones, along with some herbs for crafting pills.”

Hiss!

Despite Xuanyangzi’s experience, he was still shocked by how Lu Xuan went about asking for things. 10 million mid-tier spirit stones would’ve been an astronomical expenditure to the Immemorial Path, after all.

However, Xuanyangzi took a deep breath before long and replied, “Why do you need so many materials, anyway?”

Lu Xuan answered frankly, ” Alchemy. I have a recipe for crafting a certain type of pill. Not only would I be crafting a cauldron full and other than for my own use, but I’d craft pills for the sect as well. Conservatively speaking, those pills could help you three top-tier fighters reach the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.”

What Lu Xuan said stunned Xuanyangzi right away. There were many elders within the sect who had gotten to the ninth tier of Divine Transformation Realm. Excluding himself, however, nobody else was at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm yet.

That was because even the sect had no complete methods of enabling one to reach such a level. They could only keep training daily, hoping to one day get an opportunity to break through the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.

That was what troubled Xuanyangzi the most. Although being at the ninth tier of Divine Transformation Realm was powerful, it still paled in comparison to being at the peak of the realm.

He had been wracking his brains for ways to do this throughout the years, yet he still was unable to bring even one more to the peak of Divine Transformation Realm for the sect. However, Lu Xuan simply said that he could guarantee that there could be at least three more added to the sect.

Xuanyangzi desperately wanted to say how intrigued he was by this.
