Chapter 589 - Extreme Body Tempering (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji looked toward the old beggar and shrugged his shoulders, saying, “My ears grew numb listening to this question recently. I have to face it whether I’m prepared or not. I’m always prepared for all battles.”

The old beggar was moved by the look in his eyes.

“This is it. As my disciple, you must not back down!” he laughed.

Zhou Xuanji smiled but did not reply.

“Forget it. You were just calling him to think twice,” Qiu Hu could not hold it but comment in disdain.

He didn’t show respect to the old beggar.

In his eyes, the old immortal was more like Zhou Xuanji’s teacher than him.

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji took out Demon God Tianwu, Demon God Jihuang, and Demon God Nanming.

Their bodies were intimidating, their faces sinister. The four demon gods emanated a baleful aura endlessly.

The old beggar was a little shocked. He did not expect Zhou Xuanji to have gathered so many demon god clones.

Seems like you have many secrets. You can clone so many demon gods. It’s very rare,” the old immortal said intently. Meanwhile, the old beggar was also sizing Zhou Xuanji up.

Could this brat have other teachers?

It was Qiu Hu’s first time seeing him revealing all four demon gods.

With a wave of his hand, the old immortal brought out a gigantic black cauldron. Qiu Hu and the old beggar backed off in shock.

“Bring your clones inside. You will go through extreme pain, but I believe you can endure it,”

The old immortal said with a light chuckle. The grim expression on his face was no more, and he looked amiable again.

Zhou Xuanji nodded and brought the clones into the cauldron.

Qiu Hu sat down on the ground, while the old beggar looked toward the old immortal, saying, “We already agreed on the previous matter. Don’t forget.”

After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

But the old immortal stopped him, asking, “How are not going to disregard Zhou Xuanji? He’s your disciple too. He told me much about your interactions with him. I know that he greatly respects you.”

Hearing his words, the old beggar’s body shook and froze.

With a sigh, he said, “I have no clones. I’m really helpless. Moreover, you are here, and you are considered his teacher too.”

After that, he left without hesitation.

He had so many disciples. In key moments, he could only take care of one.

Looking at the old beggar’s departing silhouette, Qiu Hu snorted, “He still chose to leave my master to become your disciple.”

He could not understand why the old beggar chose to leave Zhou Xuanji.

Could there be other disciples more important than Zhou Xuanji?

The old immortal shook his head and smiled, “He’s a good teacher, better than me.”

The old beggar interacted with his disciples with his true sentiments, of which the old immortal could not.

Everyone was equal in his eyes.

Including Zhou Xuanji.

He only felt that Zhou Xuanji had the potential to head toward Kunlun Origin Court.

Qiu Hu glanced toward the old immortal and muttered, “Your think otherwise.”

The old immortal did not treat him as well as Zhou Xuanji.

…

Zhou Xuanji and the four demon god bodies came into a volcanic mountain range.

Heavy precipitation fell loudly from the dense thunderclouds above, but it did nothing to extinguish the blazing fire. When the rain touched the boiling lava, it only turned into smoke.

Zhou Xuanji and his clones stood under the rain. “Is this the world inside the cauldron?” He mumbled to himself.

He looked at the interweaving rivers of lava. Are those for tempering his body?

At this moment, he was shocked.

The rain droplets became boiling hot. Even with his strong physique, the rain scalded him. An ordinary person would be charred into ash immediately.

He did not use any celestial energy to protect himself but endured the pain calmly.

Since it’s body tempering, he must not resist!
