Chapter 1364 - The Arrival of Immortal Slaughter Palace
Everyone stared in stunned disbelief when they received their new cultivation techniques.
"Wuxie, how did you tailor a unique cultivation technique for everyone?" Mu Yueying couldn't help but ask.
Mu Tianli shot his daughter a sharp glare for her bluntness.
"Wuxie, don't mind her," he said.
Though he and his daughter had taken care of Liu Wuxie in the past, Liu Wuxie had helped them far more in recent years, and Mu Tianli no longer saw him as a junior.
"It's fine. These cultivation techniques are considered superior on the True Martial Star, but they can only be considered ordinary in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain," Liu Wuxie replied, completely unbothered by the question.
On the contrary, he actually appreciated Mu Yueying's straightforward nature. It also showed that she no longer treated herself as an outsider, but as his elder sister.
"Big Brother, what should we do next?" Song Ling asked, still as carefree as ever. There was no distance in his tone at all, and he had long regarded Liu Wuxie as his true elder brother.
"I'm going to help you reach the high levels of the Transcendent Realm at the very least," Liu Wuxie said. While pushing them into the Origin Conversion Realm would be difficult, helping them reach the high levels of the Transcendent Realm posed no problem.
Fiery was sprawled out on the side, quietly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. In terms of cultivation, everyone present could barely compare to it now that it had awakened its ancient qilin bloodline.
Everyone followed the guidance contained in their new cultivation techniques and sank into cultivation. Whenever they encountered a section they could not understand, they would consult Liu Wuxie, and he would give them clear, precise explanations.
Liu Wuxie even took out several seventh-grade spiritual pills. He did not dare to make them consume these pills directly, so he crushed the pills instead. The powder turned into a medicinal mist that drifted in the air.
As for how much they could absorb, it depended entirely on each person.
Xu Lingxue was the first to make a breakthrough, stepping into the second level of the Transcendent Realm. Murong Yi followed closely after, making her own breakthrough as well.
The nourishment of pure yang energy meant the four women's physiques became incredibly resilient, and their cultivation talent also increased several dozenfold.
When Liu Wuxie saw that everyone was fully immersed in cultivation, he slipped out of the cultivation chamber. It was still deep in the night outside. When he stepped onto the courtyard, he tilted his head back to stare at the starry sky.
Streaks of meteors fell across the firmament as nebulae slowly appeared overhead. This omen showed that the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain was drawing the True Martial Star closer.
With a flicker, Liu Wuxie's figure vanished. There was something else he planned to bring with him to the astral domain.
Fifteen minutes later, he appeared in the Han Clan. Despite the late hour, the Han Clan still bustled with activity.
"Wuxie, what brings you here?" Han Shanzi hurried out to welcome him as soon as he noticed Liu Wuxie standing outside the main hall.
"I'm here to see Brother Han," Liu Wuxie said, cupping his fists respectfully to everyone in the main hall.
"Everyone can disperse for now," Han Shanzi said to the gathered clansmen before leading Liu Wuxie toward a small courtyard. The courtyard wasn't large, but it was quiet.
After more than a day of recovery, Han Feizi had healed and could already walk normally. When he saw Liu Wuxie, his goofy and roguish grin returned to his face.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me," Han Feizi said. He already knew Liu Wuxie had gone to the astral domain specifically to bring back the Dragon Origin Herb.
"It's nothing compared to what you've done for me," Liu Wuxie replied as he sat down opposite Han Feizi.
Han Shanzi understood the atmosphere and slipped away quietly, leaving the two of them alone in the courtyard.
"I believe you didn't just seek me out so late at night just to chat, right?" Han Feizi asked. Aside from his slightly pale complexion, he had basically recovered, and his cultivation remained at the level it had been three years ago.
"Come with me to the astral domain," Liu Wuxie said directly. He had noticed that Han Feizi's name wasn't on the list submitted by the Han Clan, which was why he had come in person.
"I'll only be a burden with my current condition, and it'd be best for me to stay in the True Martial Star to recover for a few years," Han Feizi replied with a wry smile. His temperament didn't suit staying at home, which was why he had spent so many years wandering outside.
The last three years were the longest period he had ever stayed in the clan, but he didn't want to drag Liu Wuxie down. In his eyes, fate destined Liu Wuxie for greatness, and with his half-crippled state, he believed he would only become a burden in the astral domain.
"Brother Han, do you still see me as a brother?" Liu Wuxie asked. He sprang to his feet, a spark of anger flashing across his eyes. In his heart, there were only brothers—never burdens.
"I, Han Feizi, only acknowledge you as my brother in this lifetime," Han Feizi said solemnly, standing up as well under the influence of Liu Wuxie's emotions.
"Since we're brothers, we should roam the world together," Liu Wuxie said, patting Han Feizi on the shoulder. He naturally understood that Han Feizi's thoughts stemmed from an inferiority born of his lower cultivation, but that mattered little in his eyes.
"Good brother," Han Feizi said, raising his right hand. The two of them clasped hands firmly.
Han Shanzi hadn't gone far, and he naturally heard every word they said. A smile slowly appeared on his lips as he turned and walked away, whistling softly.
Ripping through space, Liu Wuxie vanished from the Han Clan with Han Feizi in tow. He didn't inform anyone, but he knew Han Shanzi had been waiting outside.
Logically speaking, the Han Clan had no obligation to show Liu Wuxie their list, as it was their right to decide who to send. However, Han Shanzi had done it on purpose. Since Han Feizi's name wasn't there, Liu Wuxie immediately understood his goal.
Han Feizi had a strong sense of pride and would have considered it charity if his name had appeared on the list. For Liu Wuxie to personally invite him instead was an immense honor, both for the Han Clan and for Han Feizi.
An additional person joined the cultivation chamber, and Liu Wuxie modified Han Feizi's cultivation technique on the spot. A torrent of spiritual energy poured into Han Feizi, and with Liu Wuxie actively accelerating his recovery, Han Feizi's cultivation soared at a shocking pace.
Han Feizi needed only fifteen minutes to make a breakthrough.
The energy from the seventh-grade spiritual pills transformed everyone's bodies.
Aside from Han Feizi, everyone had already stepped into the Transcendent Realm. Xu Lingxue had even reached the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm.
Liu Wuxie also channeled the remaining energy of the Divine Fruits into them through the branches of the Ancestral Tree, strengthening their divine force. He then took out a Soul Refining Pill to temper their primordial spirits and soul seas.
In the latter half of the night, everyone's cultivation speed gradually slowed down. Bi Gongyu, Lan Yu, and the others had slightly inferior talent and only reached the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, while Xu Lingxue even advanced to the seventh level.
As for Han Feizi, he finally stepped into the Heaven Profound Realm. He had already reached saturation and needed time to consolidate before he could continue making a breakthrough.
When dawn arrived, Han Feizi finally reached the Transcendent Realm and let out a long roar.
When everyone emerged from their cultivation, they were utterly stunned by their new realms. Not only had their cultivation base increased, but their physiques, primordial spirits, soul seas, and divine force—every aspect of their being—had undergone a drastic transformation.
Today was the third day, and Liu Wuxie would leave the True Martial Star tomorrow morning.
Everyone walked out of the cultivation chamber and returned to their respective residences, leaving the remaining time to Liu Wuxie so he could accompany his family on this final day.
The whole family gathered in warmth and laughter.
Just then, a thunderous
rumble
interrupted the harmony. The entire True Martial Star shook violently as if it were going through an earthquake.
Countless people rushed out of their homes, confused about what was happening. They raised their heads and watched as a massive black hole appeared above the Central Plains, powerful astral winds gushing out of it.
"Big Brother Liu, what's happening?" Xu Lingxue asked, her face full of worry. The True Martial Star had only just found peace, so why was another massive upheaval erupting now?
"Someone has entered the True Martial Star again," Liu Wuxie said, his expression turning grave. He had no idea who had come this time.
In just a few days, everyone had witnessed the invasions of the blood clan and the divine race. Now, another force had descended upon the True Martial Star, and many wondered if it was the divine race again.
Lightning rumbled within the black hole as dozens of figures walked out of it and hovered high above the sky.
"This is the True Martial Continent?" asked the white-haired elder at the front, his immense aura revealing his cultivation at the fourth-level Void Realm.
"Elder, this is indeed the True Martial Continent," said a young disciple with a cultivation at the Origin Conversion Realm.
"Ji Yuzhen!" Liu Wuxie narrowed his eyes, a strange look flickering across his face.
Ji Yuzhen had vanished ever since he escaped the Eternal Spirit Mountain, and it turned out he had gone to the astral domain.
Liu Wuxie began to wonder if Ji Yuzhen had returned with the same goal as him, unaware that Ji Yuzhen had already joined the Immortal Slaughter Palace and that they had all come to kill him.
With a flicker, Liu Wuxie's figure flashed and appeared before the group before they even had time to react.
"Liu Wuxie, we were just about to look for you, and you delivered yourself to us," said the white-haired elder as murderous intent erupted from him the instant he saw Liu Wuxie.
After all, because of Liu Wuxie, the Immortal Slaughter Palace's reputation had been dragged through the mud and turned into a laughingstock in the Laman Astral Domain.
"Ji Yuzhen, why did you bring them back to the True Martial Continent?" Liu Wuxie asked, completely ignoring the white-haired elder.
Xu Lingxue and the others also flew up into the sky one after another, ready to fight at a moment's notice.
"Liu Wuxie, my father wouldn't have died if it hadn't been for you," Ji Yuzhen yelled. "Today, I'll make you watch your family and wives die before your eyes!"
He had been powerless to stop his father from dying at Liu Wuxie's hands. Back then, the Profound Cloud Sect, the Five Elemental Sect, the Scarlet Dragon Cult, and the Blazing Sun Gate had joined forces to besiege the Heavenly Dao Society, but they only courted death.
It was quite laughable that Ji Yuzhen still blamed Liu Wuxie for it.
"Liu Wuxie, you caused our Immortal Slaughter Palace to suffer immense losses, and we will capture everyone on the True Martial Continent as slaves on Anlu Star!" roared the white-haired elder.
"So, you're from the Immortal Slaughter Palace?" Liu Wuxie said, murderous intent blazing in his eyes. He was genuinely surprised that Ji Yuzhen had joined the Immortal Slaughter Palace.
Back then, the astral currents swept them both into the Laman Astral Domain. Liu Wuxie had landed on Anlu Star, while Ji Yuzhen had fallen onto another planet.
"Stop wasting time and kill him already," said the other elders from the Immortal Slaughter Palace. They knew how crafty Liu Wuxie was and feared that if they delayed, they could fall into his traps again. After all, that was precisely what had happened back on Anlu Star.
With that, dozens of elders from the Immortal Slaughter Palace surrounded Liu Wuxie.
