Chapter 9
Chu Tianxing and Ji Tan

To be precise, the Imperial Heaven Path can be understood as the Emperor's Aura that doesn't rely on external forces. Once activated, it repels evil spirits, resisting sinister forces.

Entering is difficult, but once a small level of mastery is reached, the path is smooth and easy. Living for seven to eight hundred years, even without deliberate cultivation, one can achieve a great level.

It possesses earth-shattering power and is the ultimate profound skill within the human realm.

It's a supreme divine art that returns to simplicity, yet not everyone can cultivate it.

In Xun Wu You's memory, only a few have cultivated the Imperial Heaven Path. Besides Lin Tian Xing, the position of Law Confucianist has been vacant since Jun Feng Tian's death, and the newly appointed Law Confucianist has only learned a little bit.

Jun Feng Tian's disciple, Yun Wang Gui, has also learned a portion.

These two individuals' Imperial Heaven Path cannot be compared to Lin Tian Xing's, not because Lin Tian Xing is being secretive, but because this profound skill is unsuitable for their physiques.

Xun Wu You's physique perfectly suits the Imperial Heaven Path. After twenty years of accumulation, he has achieved a level of instant execution, though not as powerful as Lin Tian Xing's.

Unfortunately, Xun Wu You never got to shine before being replaced by the traverser Xun Wu You!

A soul from Earth with no cultivation, possessing another Xun Wu You, is truly unbelievable.

However, the truth is that the other Xun Wu You's cultivation of the Imperial Heaven Path led to self-immolation, allowing Xun Wu You to pick up the bargain.

The Imperial Heaven Path, or the Emperor's Aura, emphasizes gradual progress.

The other Xun Wu You had reached a certain level, but he wanted to receive Lin Tian Xing's high praise.

He forced himself to cultivate despite his physical limitations, regardless of whether his body was saturated, ultimately leading to internal injuries.

Old Master Lin Tian Xing is extremely proud, and obtaining his approval is harder than ascending to heaven, pushing Xun Wu You to extremes.

“It's the time of the hour!”

Xun Wu You opened his eyes, divine light flickering.

He had been eagerly awaiting this time.

“Spin the Wheel!”

【Ding… Congratulations, host. You won the fourth prize on the spin wheel. Reward: Three Skill Enhancement Pills.】

【Skill Enhancement Pill: Can be taken directly to increase ten years of cultivation, or during battle to recover cultivation.】

【Note: Every six Skill Enhancement Pills can be combined into a Jiazi Pill】

【Jiazi Pill: Taking it can increase a Jiazi (sixty years) of cultivation, and there is a chance to gain an additional 10% cultivation!】

Wow, my luck is good today.

I'll take them now!

Every Skill Enhancement Pill is a guarantee for the future!

As the three Skill Enhancement Pills went down his throat, Xun Wu You felt a burning sensation within his body.

Powerful energy surged through his limbs and bones, feeling like he was about to explode.

Oh no! I only thought about taking the pills, but forgot about my weak body.

The surging power rampaged through his body, his surface temperature rapidly rising. Even his physique was expanding, tearing through his clothes.

This is bad. Am I going to go into a demonic frenzy?

Xun Wu You panicked internally.

Thinking that the Imperial Heaven Path is a supreme art, perhaps running it with all my might can calm the raging power within.

With that, Xun Wu You directly activated the Imperial Heaven Path and started running again.

Scene shift.

Meanwhile, Ji Tan Shuo claims to have inherited the Mandate of Heaven, taking it as his duty to destroy the Blood Shadow Crystal Tower.

He joined forces with Jiu Feng Ping Zhou and Chu Tian Xing to infiltrate the Blood Shadow Crystal Tower at night.

The two chatted casually along the way as they entered the central tower.

“Old Tan, we failed last time. This time might not be so easy either.”

The immortal and jade-like Chu Tian Xing walked with his hands behind his back, his footsteps making a rustling sound: “I hear that Dong Men Xuan De, who practices the Way of the Just and Righteous, is also considering how to break the tower. I believe that joining forces with him will increase our chances of success.”

Ji Tan Shuo smiled slightly: “The Way of the Just and Righteous has suffered repeated attacks from the elves, and their losses are heavy. Dong Men Xuan De is busy dealing with his own affairs, so it's better not to bother him.”

Ji Tan Shuo's facial features were sharp and angular, exuding a masculine aura. His silver hair cascaded down his shoulders, and he carried the divine artifact ‘Three Constant Radiance,’ radiating a majestic presence as he walked.

Righteousness soared to the heavens, laws were strict, truly worthy of being the pinnacle of humanity.

His strength is comparable to the Three Vehicles of the Great Yellow. He wields the Zen Sword and travels freely across the world!

Chu Tian Xing smiled, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared: “Don't force yourself, it's alright if we can't destroy the Blood Shadow Crystal Tower. We can discuss it again later.”

“Ji Tan Shuo took on the mantle of a compassionate world, and cannot allow wicked beings to act recklessly. As long as the Blood Shadow Crystal Tower stands, countless lives will be lost!” Ji Tan Shuo shook his head: “Even if the Divine Yang came today, I would not retreat an inch. I swear to destroy the Blood Shadow Crystal Tower!”

His words caused the forest to rustle and the mountains and rivers to tremble, displaying the unparalleled spirit of the pinnacle of humanity in the face of adversity.

“Such audacious words!”

A cold voice rang out. Under the moonlight, a king descended from the sky, his figure imposing. He wore a crown, his silver robe billowing without wind, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers.

“The heavens are silent, the calamity incarnates; killing and purifying the world, I am the destiny of the Divine Yang!”

The poetic proclamation echoed for thousands of miles, shaking the earth and sky.

The Divine Yang! Only the boss-level Divine Yang could possess such power!

“The Divine Yang!”

Ji Tan Shuo's expression was cold, unyielding in the face of authority. He stepped forward, his voice filled with pride: “Retract the Blood Shadow Crystal Tower, humans and elves shall not encroach on each other. Stop this pointless struggle!”

“Dream on!” The Divine Yang sneered: “Humans and demons must die.”

The two powerful figures faced each other, refusing to yield.

Their combined aura blended together. Before they even moved, they had already stirred the winds of the world. Even the deeply rooted Chu Tian Xing was forced to retreat.

“Divine Yang, you promised me that you would remove the Xuan Qi within Tian Zhi Zhu's body and wouldn't touch Ji Tan Shuo for three months. Are you going back on your word?” Chu Tian Xing's brows furrowed with concern.

The father of the Illusionary Fan, Kuai Huan, was killed by the Divine Yang's palm strike and plunged into the abyss. However, Ji Tan Shuo, clad in the shackles of Buddhist teachings, was reborn. He wielded the Three Constant Radiance and severely injured Tian Zhi Zhu.

That sword contained Gang Qi, Sha Qi, and Xuan Qi, even the great boss, the Divine Yang, was powerless to stop it.

Chu Tian Xing, for unknown reasons, went to hunt for the Sky Weaver, removing the Xuan Qi within Tian Zhi Zhu's body.

Then, the Divine Yang removed the Gang Qi, and the Xuan Qi was shattered by Tian Ji Shen Yu Xiao Yao.

It took great effort, but they managed to save Tian Zhi Zhu from the brink of death.
