Chapter 233 - War Between Two Races (1/2)

Zhao Congjian felt quite depressed after hearing Zhou Xuanji’s words, but did not how to rebut them, so he could only go and train.

Zhou Xuanji then glanced at Xiao Jinghong, Beixiao Wangjian, and Huang Lianxin.

The three of them immediately understood and obediently went to train as well.

Xian Xianghua shook her had and smiled as she said, “You really know how to make yourself sound profound.”

Zhou Xuanji looked at her and asked seriously, “Do you know why you fell down from the throne? You were first in the world but now you are unable to climb back up.”

Hearing this, Xian Xianghua could not help but frown; this was a sore point for her.

“Why?” She asked as she narrowed her eyes, and a dangerous aura caused Jiang Xue, Han Shenbo, Chongming Demon Monarch, and Daoya Old Man to look over with worried expressions.

What did this old demonic woman want to do?

Zhou Xuanji smirked and said, “Because you have an obstruction in your heart. After you were defeated, you talk about this every day, as if you’re afraid that others don’t know that you were once first in the world.

“In actuality, you’re very powerful, and in everyone’s hearts, they might think of you as superior to Yang Di.”

Xian Xianghua frowned deeply as she sank into her thoughts.

Zhou Xuanji glared at Jiang Xue and said, “Why aren’t you cultivating? What are you spacing out for?”

Jiang Xue pouted before leaving.

Han Shenbo, Daoya Old Man, and Chongming Demon Monarch also tactfully distanced themselves.

Following this, Zhou Xuanji put away his swords and sat down as he started to cultivate.

He had already finished learning the Hundred Star Sky-Covering Formation, and even though he could not unleash its full power yet, after he acquired more legendary swords, he would be able to do it sooner or later.

Following this, he started to focus on cultivating. As for sword techniques, he had enough to use.

Time quickly passed.

Four months later, Zhou Xuanji broke through to Astral Projection Level Seven. The reason why he had progressed so quickly was because of the Tianxia Map and the Spirit Gathering Formation that Xian Xianghua had created.

The spirit qi at the top of Skyfall was already incredibly dense, and cultivating here for a single day was equivalent to dozens of days outside.

The others had also broken through except Daoya Old Man.

None of them had seen Daoya Old Man practice much before.

That old fellow spent his days in leisure, traveling up and down Skyfall. In his words, he had overused his ability to look at Heaven’s Secrets, and if he broke through any more, the divine tribulation he encountered might kill him. As such, he did not dare to continue cultivating.

From Astral Projection onwards, every major stage would bring about a divine tribulation.

After breaking through to the Spirit Refinement Stage, one would be deemed to have left behind their mortal life, and could live up to 10,000 years.

After reaching Astral Projection Level Seven, Zhou Xuanji did not stop cultivating, so as to provide a good example for the others.

Elsewhere, Liuwu Demon Wolf and Dade Bear Monarch were gathered in a mountain cave.

Dade Bear Monarch’s body was quite big and sturdy, and his face was covered with fur and he wore heavy, black scaled armor. He looked quite worried as he sighed and said, “What should we do?”

Liuwu Demon Wolf also looked quite worried. He was holding a scroll from Jihuang Demon Lord, summoning back all of his demon generals, saying that there was a big matter to discuss.

However, now that they were being detained by Xian Xianghua, how could they dare to go back?

They did not even dare to report this to Jihuang Demon Lord, out of fear that Xian Xianghua would kill them.
