Chapter 323 - The Battle Between The Legends (1/2)

When Zhou Xuanji received the news about Shi Shenzong defeating Xuanyuan Zhou, he was already back at Skyfall.

Along the way, they did not stop to collect intel at all.

When they neared Skyfall, Xian Xianghua and Diablo left.

Zhou Xuanji was curious about what they were secretly planning. However, that was the Tanhua Sect’s matter, and he did not probe into it.

After returning to Skyfall, everyone gathered around him.

The first to speak was Lin Changge, who updated him about Shi Shenzong’s battles.

Ever since Tian was defeated, Shi Shenzong traveled around to challenge powerful cultivators. His opponents were all in the top ten of the Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred. Even Jiang Wudi was defeated by him.

“Tsk tsk, Tian died again?” Zhou Xuanji sighed with amazement. He was really unfortunate in battles. Ever since Zhou Xuanji appeared, he had died several times. However, with the protection of Heaven, Zhou Xuanji was quite sure that he was going to revive.

Lin Changge said with a deep voice, “There’s another thing. Shi Shenzong asked to duel with you in a year at Sword Emperor Canyon. That was the place where the Hegemon Sword Emperor ascended. Canghai Ziggurat has already informed the world about this, and everyone knows about it.”

Jiang Xue, Chongming Demon Monarch, Beixiao Wangjian, Huang Lianxin, and the others all had a gloomy expression.

They knew that Zhou Xuanji fought Tian and was almost killed.

Looking at Shi Shenzong, the Sword Saint destroyed Tian alone. Only Yang Di might stand toe to toe with such a powerful cultivator.

Zhou Xuanji did not lose his composure but said, “Spread the word. A year later, I shall head over for the duel.”

Having heard him, everyone opened their eyes wide and began persuading him.

Shi Shenzong was a legend after all. Zhou Xuanji could just ignore the duel invitation. At most, he would be joked about by the world, but no one would doubt his power.

“What cultivation stage are you in now?” Daoya Old Man asked doubtfully.

The group quieted down. Could Zhou Xuanji become more powerful again?

Coming to think about it, it was quite expected. Didn’t he go with Xian Xianghua to search for some kind of serendipity?

It seemed that he had already obtained it.

“Great Realization, Level Eight.” Zhou Xuanji smiled. His words shocked everyone again.

Before they could speak, he told them about Violet Demon Palace but did not mention the Violet Demon Monarch’s Heart.

He had a feeling that the origin of the Violet Demon Monarch’s Heart was not less significant than the Tianxia Map.

“Which means we can use it to improve our cultivation greatly as well?” Jiang Xue said excitedly.

She was smart in directing everyone’s attention to the Colorful Celestial Fruits immediately. None of them probed about how Zhou Xuanji stopped Demon Sovereign Sanhai from attacking him.

Zhou Xuanji nodded and took out some Colorful Celestial Fruits.

He distributed them to Jiang Xue, Han Shenbo, Daoya Old Man, Huang Lianxin, Beixiao Wangjian, Chongming Demon Monarch, the little black snake, Meng Tianlang, Zhou Xiaoqi, Ning Zifeng, Lin Changge, and so on. Each had one.

Other than these, he planned to give the Four Mountain-Guarding Kings, the Three-eyed Drought Rodent, Fenyu Dragon King, Ah Big, and Small Er one each.

As for the second and third generation disciples, he did not give them a fruit.

The Colorful Celestial Fruits were rare after all. He could make it into a supreme treasure of the Emperor Sword Court in the future to motivate the disciples to work hard.

Daoya Old Man shook his head and said, “I don’t need it, since I’m already at the bottleneck.”

Zhou Xuanji did not force him to take it. After that, everyone returned to their own cultivation.

Daoya Old Man, Jiang Xue, and himself walked to one side.

“The Colorful Celestial Tree is an important matter, where do you think I should plant it?” Zhou Xuanji asked. He wanted to plant it on the peak, but after some careful thought, it was too conspicuous.

Daoya Old Man stroked his long beard and said, “Why don’t we open a cave underneath us. Then we shall draw the spirit fountain of the mountain to nourish the Colorful Celestial Tree.”

He sighed with amazement in his heart. Why was this brat so lucky?

Whatever serendipity he wanted, he got it.

Could this brat be the legendary Child of Fate?

The three began working on it immediately.

Meanwhile, Lin Changge left Skyfall to spread the news about Zhou Xuanji agreeing to the duel.

Since they were going to duel, then he shall make it even grander!

So what if he was a legend of the Sword’s Way?

Within ten days, news about Zhou Xuanji agreeing to the duel spread across the world.
