Chapter 51: Crossing Realms To Accept A Disciple
Du Yuan's expression tensed up as he carefully asked, "Senior, the Southern Region's ley lines have collapsed. The laws of Heaven and Earth there are incomplete and their inheritance is missing. There shouldn't even be an Emperor realm cultivator there, right?"
If the Southern Region did not even have an Emperor realm cultivator, how deep could such waters run?
However, since Senior said there were dangers, there had to be a reason.
Chu Xuan said in an unfathomable manner, "Little Du, what kind of battle has the scale to render the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region incomplete?"
"One that at least involved Heaven realm cultivators," Du Yuan thought for a moment and said.
No matter how many Supreme realm experts fought, they would not be able to make the ley lines collapse, nor damage the laws of Heaven and Earth.
Only the legendary Heaven realm experts could do such a thing.
"In the Southern Region, a group of Heaven realm little guys are setting something up. You're just a tiny Supreme realm expert, you can't afford to wade into such deep waters. Listen to Senior's advice, the opportunities there are not for you."
Du Yuan's expression immediately changed. A trap set up by heaven realm experts?
Moreover, it was even a group of them?
If he, a puny Supreme realm expert, waded in, there would not even be ashes left of his corpse.
What made him even more shocked was that the Heaven realm experts were just a group of little fellows according to Senior's words.
It could be seen from this that Senior's strength was absolutely beyond imagination.
"Thank you, Senior!" Du Yuan respectfully said.
"Oh, it's not easy to survive as an itinerant cultivator after all. There are numerous traps out there. It's better for you to be cautious."
Chu Xuan let out a sigh of relief after finally stopping Du Yuan from coming to the Southern Region.
However, he did not completely relax either. Even if Du Yuan did not come, what about the other experts?
Du Yuan was definitely not the only itinerant cultivator who knew about the War Devil Ancient Land.
It was possible that there was an emperor realm expert or even a supreme realm expert hiding in some remote corner of the South Province.
He had to stabilize himself and increase his cultivation as soon as possible.
Apart from raising his cultivation, he also had to prepare some contingency plans.
For example, Ren Changhe…
If he could get the latter to accept the soul seal willingly, he would have a trump card that could rush to the Southern Region if there were any changes that he could not deal with himself.
After cultivating the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal, Ren Changhe would not have much of a problem getting out of the Fallen God Cave, and his strength would also have increased by a level.
As a peak-stage Heaven realm expert, or perhaps even stronger by then, he would definitely be able to stabilize the situation in the Southern Region.
Hence, it was absolutely imperative for Chu Xuan to deceive Ren Changhe.
He continued to put on an act in front of Du Yuan and rambled on about those Heaven realm cultivators who were setting up some sort of trap to kill people.
After scaring Du Yuan off from the Southern Region, he ended the connection with Du Yuan.
The Myriad Heavenly Mirror still had one more chance to connect.
Chu Xuan no longer hesitated and connected it to Ren Changhe's location.
The lifeless Fallen God Cave was still the same. In the stone house, the aura of death on Ren Changhe's body was even denser.
His entire body even seemed to have dried up a little.
Looking at the situation, Ren Changhe had not managed to comprehend anything.
On the contrary, the aura of death on his body was even more plentiful.
If he had said previously that Ren Changhe could live for a thousand years without a problem, then the current Ren Changhe could only live for seven or eight hundred years.
Chu Xuan even suspected that if he did not come, the man would have been courting death ahead of time!
This was a peerless Heaven's blessed who had cultivated to the Heaven realm within ten thousand years?
It was a little underwhelming.
Bathed in divine light, Chu Xuan sighed.
"Sigh, your innate talent is dull, truly dull!"
Ren Changhe's spirit was roused. He raised his head and saw Chu Xuan bathed in divine light.
He was extremely excited.
"Senior!"
He was almost about to cry.
He had been comprehending the cycle of life and death, refining the aura of death as his life force. In the end, the aura of death eroded even more of his vitality, and his lifespan decreased by two hundred years or so.
He was so scared that he did not dare to continue comprehending.
However, he was not willing to be trapped here and die either.
Recently, he had been doubting himself. Was he really a top-notch Heaven's blessed?
Why was he unable to comprehend it?
"Junior's talent is dull, so I am unable to comprehend it. Senior, please give me some pointers!"
Ren Changhe prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully.
He had reached the peak of the Heaven realm and swept away all of his peers back then. He had been invincible in the same realm. However, at this moment, all of it had turned into shame.
He no longer had a trace of pride. If he did not truly believe that his talent was insignificant, he would have kowtowed and begged Chu Xuan to accept him as a disciple.
"Sigh!"
Chu Xuan let out a long sigh.
"Stupid, stupid."
He shook his head and sighed. He remained silent for a long time.
Ren Changhe remained prostrated on the ground, feeling nervous. Did Senior disdain his talent? Would he refuse to give him some pointers?
"Well, there is some fate after all."
After a long while, Chu Xuan said, "However, such things are not passed down lightly. You can be considered to have some fate in meeting me. I will temporarily take you in as an in-name disciple. Are you willing?"
Ren Changhe was overjoyed and said, "I am willing!"
An in-name disciple was also a disciple.
Chu Xuan continued, "Although you are an in-name disciple, you still have to leave this realm and explore the myriad realms. However, your strength is still insufficient. Logically speaking, you do not have the qualifications."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "This venerable self will bestow you with a seal. This will make you an exception and allow you to have the qualifications to travel to the myriad realms in the heavens. You can also incorporate the seal into your divine soul."
After Chu Xuan finished speaking, he condensed a soul seed seal and transmitted it over through the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.
As for whether Ren Changhe would incorporate it into his divine soul, that would depend on his choice. After he planted the soul seed seal, Ren Changhe was no longer able to have any thoughts of resisting Chu Xuan himself. In fact, the man would even have to act according to his own will.
Although it seemed like Ren Changhe had suffered a loss, it was actually a fortuitous encounter for him.
If he had not met Chu Xuan, he definitely would not have been able to escape this place; he would have definitely died after a thousand years.
After planting the soul seal, he would impart the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal to Ren Changhe, which would allow him to refine the aura of death in the Fallen God Cave into life force. The cycle of life and death would allow him to break through his shackles and take another step forward in his cultivation.
Ren Changhe looked at the mysterious and small seal before him. Without any hesitation, he immediately absorbed it into his divine soul.
He was also a decisive person. Regardless of whether there was a conspiracy or not, if he could not escape, how long would he be able to live anyway?
He might as well take this gamble.
Whether it was worth it or not, he would soon know.
If the other party was able to impart the technique to cultivate the aura of death as life force, then he would have obtained a great opportunity.
Ren Changhe felt that there was something wrong with the soul seal, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have more respect for that 'senior', and he could not think ill of the man.
After carefully confirming that there was nothing wrong with the soul seal, Ren Changhe realized that he did not feel any discomfort either.
He had always respected this senior anyway, so what was the big deal if he felt a little more respect.
After Ren Changhe absorbed the soul seal into his soul, Chu Xuan was overjoyed. He finally managed to obtain a peak-stage Heaven realm disciple.
After he passed the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal to him, his strength would rise to a higher level on the day he chose to leave this place.
He was truly an expert that belonged at the top of the nine zones and fifty regions.
Chu Xuan sensed that the soul seal in Ren Changhe's soul had already been implanted.
Unless his divine soul collapsed, his body disintegrated and his dao shattered, he would not be able to get rid of it.
It was perfect!
"You stayed in seclusion and crossed realms to take in a disciple. You have been rewarded with 100 years' worth of cultivation and the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique (middle section)!"
Chu Xuan's was filled with joy. The system's reward that was triggered this time had actually rewarded him with 100 years' worth of cultivation.After a few more such rewards, he would break through to the Supreme realm.
He also obtained the follow-up section of the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique. Having cultivated this technique for such a long time, Chu Xuan had a deep understanding of how powerful this divine soul cultivation technique was.
Although his current cultivation base was at the second level of the Emperor realm, the strength of his divine soul was no weaker than that of an ordinary fifth-level Emperor realm cultivator.
It was all thanks to the assistance of the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique and the Spirit Cultivating Diagram
Chapter 52: Teaching Ren Changhe the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal
Chu Xuan did not opt to receive the 100 years' worth of cultivation base and the Hundred Divine Tempering Divine Technique rewards immediately. Instead, he taught Ren Changhe the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal.
After all, receiving the rewards would require a certain amount of time to digest and, since it would require him to cut off the spiritual power infusion to the Myriad Heavenly Mirror, it would also end the connection with Ren Change. He did not want the other party to think that he was a swindler.
"Since you are my in-name disciple, I will teach you a great technique. This technique is called the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal. If you succeed in cultivating it, you can refine the aura of death into life force, and it will grant you a glimpse into the cycle of life and death and the Great Dao of Yin and Yang."
Ren Changhe bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"Okay, listen carefully."
The divine light on Chu Xuan's body became more and more dazzling, which made him look even more majestic, like an immortal descending into the mortal world.
Every word and sentence was like the sound of the Great Dao, transmitted through the Myriad Heavenly Mirror to where Ren Changhe was.
Chu Xuan had already completely comprehended the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal. Although his strength was inferior to Ren Changhe's, in terms of comprehension of this technique, he was definitely miles ahead.
Ren Changhe started comprehending the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal; his heart was surging with emotion. He had made the right choice.
Indeed, an opportunity had come his way.
This Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal was extremely profound and pointed one directly toward the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.
Even with his talent, he could not comprehend it within a short period of time.
Chu Xuan finished imparting the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal and asked, "How much have you comprehended?"
Ren Changhe immediately said in embarrassment, "Master, I am lacking. I have only comprehended less than ten percent."
Chu Xuan was speechless.
Was Ren Changhe's comprehension too poor or was the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal too profound?
Although the system had directly instilled the technique into him, which allowed him to completely comprehend it, he himself did not feel that the technique itself was too difficult to comprehend.
Even without the system's help, Chu Xuan felt that he would not need too much time to comprehend it.
Ren Changhe was at the peak-stage Heaven realm cultivator, yet he had only comprehended less than 10%?
There was no way for an untalented person to cultivate to the Heaven realm.
Moreover, Ren Changhe had reached the Heaven realm within 10,000 years. Back then, he had been very proud. His talent was regarded as exceptional and he was widely praised as a top-notch Heaven's blessed.
This could only mean that the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal was more profound than he had expected.
Ren Changhe saw that Chu Xuan had remained silent for a long time and felt even more ashamed. His heart was even more uneasy. Could it be that Master regretted taking him in as a disciple?
He vowed to work hard in his cultivation. He absolutely could not let Master down!
"Let me explain the mystery of refining the aura of death into life force first."
After some time, Chu Xuan opened his mouth to speak. One could not tell whether he was happy, angry, or dissatisfied.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ren Changhe heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Next, Chu Xuan explained to Ren Changhe how to refine the aura of death into life force.
It took Ren Changhe a full half an hour to completely grasp it.
"You should continue to cultivate and meditate."
After finishing his explanation to Ren Changhe, Chu Xuan cut off the spiritual energy input and deactivated the Myriad Heavenly Mirror.
"Farewell, Master!" Ren Changhe bowed and said.
After a long while, he raised his head with a determined look in his eyes. He was once the top-notch Heaven's blessed of the nine zones and fifty regions; almost invincible among his peers.
I, Ren Changhe, am not inferior to anyone!
I will not disappoint my master.
Ren Changhe began to cultivate the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal. As long as he successfully cultivated the aura of death into life force, he would not have to worry about the problem of dying here.
Once his understanding of the cycle of life and death increased, he would have no problem escaping the Fallen God Cave, and his strength would also improve.
He now had the hope of breaking through to the legendary Divine realm!
After Chu Xuan deactivated the Myriad Heaven Mirror, he immediately received the reward.
A hundred years' worth of cultivation was instilled into him.
Bang!
His cultivation started to increase.
Third-level Emperor realm, fourth-level Emperor realm, fifth-level Emperor realm!
In the end, his strength increased to the fifth level of the Emperor realm.
Chu Xuan sighed. The higher his cultivation, the slower his cultivation speed would be.
A hundred years' worth of cultivation only allowed him to break through to three levels.
After receiving the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique (middle section), he realized that, compared to the first section, the middle section not only increased the cultivation of the divine soul, it also provided him with a number of divine soul defense and divine soul attack techniques.
Chu Xuan immediately condensed a soul spear.
This spear would not harm the physical body of the enemy, but only their soul. It was impossible to defend against!
At this point, Chu Xuan's soul defense and attack techniques were complete.
The enhanced version of the spirit cultivating diagram that the system had rewarded him with previously did not have much effect now.
Chu Xuan had to stare at it for a few hours before he even felt a slight dizziness. Its effects were now too lacking and slow to assist him in the cultivation of the soul.
To other Emperor realm experts, it was most likely still a supreme treasure for the cultivation of the soul. However, to Chu Xuan who pursued efficiency, it was of little value.
He was different from the others. The concept of closed-door cultivation was alien to him.
Staring at it for a few hours did not suit his lifestyle at home.
After his cultivation level broke through, Chu Xuan immediately contacted Wan Chang with his parent-child communication talisman.
He told Wan Chang to collect information about the Asura Ancient Land and to find out whether there were any experts from the other regions coming to the Southern Region.
At the same time, he asked Wan Chang to pay attention to whether there were any experts at the Emperor realm or above from the Black Moon Tower coming to the Southern Region.
Wan Chang's status in the Black Moon Tower was still a little low.
Even if he became the elite Tower Lord, he would only control the operations of the Black Moon Tower in the Qin Kingdom. He would not be able to access higher level information of the Black Moon Tower's operations.
Chu Xuan decided to further expand his control over the Black Moon Tower.
After Wan Chang became an elite Tower Lord and controlled the operations in the state of Qin, he would think of a way to lure out his superior, the bronze-level Tower Lord.
There were many bronze-level Tower Lords in the Black Moon Tower. Chu Xuan only needed to control Wan Chang's superior.
After controlling the bronze-level Tower Lord, he would then go after the silver-level Tower Lord and, if the right conditions were met, he would try to control a gold-level Tower Lord.
A gold-level Tower Lord was considered a junior high-level official in the Black Moon Tower. The intelligence and authority one wielded in the Black Moon Tower was not low.
The gold-level Tower Lord was definitely one of the highest level officials in the Southern Region.
According to the classification system of the Black Moon Tower, the lowest cultivation level of the gold-level Tower Lord was at the third level of the truth realm.
Apart from controlling the gold-level Tower Lord, he also had to control some of the guards.
Chu Xuan suspected that the Black Moon Tower had an emperor realm expert guarding the Southern Region.
A day later, Wan Chang sent him a message.
He did not know anything about the Asura Ancient Land. With his current authority, he could not find any relevant information about the matter in the Black Moon Tower.
Chu Xuan was not surprised. Wan Chang's status in the Black Moon Tower was simply too low.
He ordered him to do his best to be promoted to the position of elite Tower Lord as soon as possible.
His fifth-level Emperor realm cultivation was insufficient. He had to break through to the Supreme realm.
Fortunately, there was still quite some time before the Asura Ancient Land opened. Moreover, there would not be any experts from the outer regions coming over for the time being.
He still had some time to strengthen himself.
Heaven realm experts would not involve themselves in this matter, right?
He had to wait until he obtained more information about the Asura Ancient Land before he could make an accurate judgment.
In the next half a month, the time Chu Xuan used to cultivate increased. Moreover, he secretly observed Du Yuan several times and found that he had not left the Western Region. Only then did he slightly heave a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he once again contacted Ren Changhe and taught him more about the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal.
Ren Changhe no longer looked lifeless. His body now exuded a strong life force, and his withered body seemed slightly fuller.
It was still too soon before he could fully recover and escape from the Fallen God Cave.
Wan Chang broke through to the unity realm and quickly advanced to the second level of the unity realm as well.
At the same time, he was successfully promoted to the position of elite Tower Lord.
After becoming an elite Tower lord and taking control of the state of Qin's business, Wan Chang also made contact with the bronze-level Tower Lord who was in charge of him.
Chapter 53: Gold-Level Tower Lord, Bao Hongyan
Yao Xiong was Black Moon Tower's bronze-level Tower Lord and Wan Chang's immediate superior.
At this moment, this person was standing respectfully in front of Chu Xuan.
He was cursing Wan Chang in his heart.
After Wan Chang had broken through, Chu Xuan had asked Wan Chang to leave the small courtyard with a soul seed seal that was imbued with his emperor-level cultivation base.
Chu Xuan's emperor-level strength suppressed Yao Xiong and the soul seed seal was soon implanted into the latter's soul.
Yao Xiong's mind was clear and he knew that he had been tricked.
However, he could not resist.
He cursed Wan Chang's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.
However, they were now both Chu Xuan's subordinates. No matter how angry he was, he could not take revenge on Wan Chang.
After controlling Yao Xiong, Chu Xuan asked the latter to come to the small courtyard.
"Do you know about the Asura Ancient Land?"Chu Xuan asked.
"Master, I don't know." Yao Xiong lowered his head and replied.
As expected, the intelligence classification grade of the Asura Ancient Land was not low. Even the bronze-level Tower Lord did not have the right to come into contact with this information at all.
After all, the Asura Ancient Land was still in a dormant state. Yao Xiong would likely only be informed about it when it appeared. At that point, the Black Moon Tower would sell the information to create a profit.
Chu Xuan raised his hand and sent out a wisp of emperor-level spiritual power that carried with it a soul imprint. He instructed Yao Xiong to bring it along to control his superior, the silver-level Tower Lord.
As long as one was not an Emperor realm powerhouse, they would not be able to resist the pressure of Chu Xuan's spiritual power.
Yao Xiong left with that wisp of emperor-level energy. His heart was cold. It seemed that something big was going to happen to the Black Moon Tower.
With this man's strange method, he managed to control two Tower Lords of the Black Moon Tower without anyone knowing. He was slowly eating away at the Black Moon Tower.
In the end, he might even become the true master of the Black Moon Tower.
Based on what he knew, the powerhouses of the Black Moon Tower might not be able to discover his strange method.
Fan Chao was the silver-level Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower and also Yao Xiong's superior.
The resources controlled by a silver-level Tower Lord far surpassed that of a bronze-level Tower Lord. Even so, he still had not come into contact with any information regarding the Asura Ancient Land.
Fan Chao stood in front of Chu Xuan respectfully. In his heart, he had similarly already cursed Yao Xiong's eighteen generations of ancestors.
Yao Xiong had actually tricked him.
Chu Xuan gained a further understanding of the Black Moon Tower's composition and operations.
The Black Moon Tower was divided into the main department, the logistics department, and the guards department.
Among these, the main department was responsible for the operations of the Black Moon Tower.
The logistics department was responsible for the provision of the various resources of the Black Moon Tower, such as alchemy, refining weapons, and so on.
It was worth mentioning that the intelligence personnel belonged to the main department of the Black Moon TOwer.
The guard department's responsibility was to protect the safety of the Black Moon Tower. It was a military department specially trained by the Black Moon Tower.
Above the three departments, the Tower Lord held the most power.
Power and strength were inseparable. The higher the position of the Tower Lord, the higher the requirement of strength to achieve it. Otherwise, how could the Tower Lord control their subordinates?
Fan Chao was a silver-level Tower Lord who managed three bronze-level Tower Lords, and Yao Xiong was only one of them.
There were a total of seven silver-level Tower Lords in the entire Southern Region.
Each of them was a truth realm cultivator.
Fan Chao was at the first level of the truth realm.
Since he had not discovered any information about the Asura Ancient Land, Chu Xuan could only continue down the warpath. The next step was to control the gold-level Tower Lord.
Chu Xuan also condensed a wisp of his emperor-level power and instructed Fan Chao to carry it with him and look for his superior, the gold-level Tower Lord.
Fan Chao's thoughts were identical to Yao Xiong's. Something big was going to happen to the Black Moon Pavilion.
However, after receiving the soul seed seal, even though he was clear-headed, he could not resist and could only do as he was told.
Bao Hongyan was a fourth-level truth realm cultivator and a gold-level Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower.
Chu Xuan was quite surprised. Fan Chao's superior was actually a woman.
Her figure was enchanting, her face was gorgeous, and she even looked somewhat familiar.
"How many gold-level Tower Lords are there in the Southern Region?"
"Reporting to my Lord, three," Bao Hongyan respectfully replied.
She was cursing Fan Chao inwardly and, at the same time, she was shocked by Chu Xuan's capabilities.
The Chu family had actually produced such a terrifying character.
Moreover, he had already extended his hand toward the Black Moon Tower.
What was even more terrifying was that, with this person's methods, the Black Moon Tower probably would not be able to notice any abnormalities until it was too late.
"Does the Black Moon Tower have an Emperor realm expert guarding the Southern Region?"
This was something Chu Xuan was very curious about.
Even the evil imperial court, the major power behind the heretic cultivators, did not dare to offend the Black Moon Tower. If the Black Moon Tower did not have an expert guarding the Southern Region, they definitely would have attacked by now.
One had to know that the Black Moon Tower sold countless resources and treasures.
Those heretic cultivators all liked to kill people and steal treasures. If the Black Moon Tower was not strong enough, it would have long since been plundered by the evil imperial court.
"There's a one-star Tower Lord guarding the Southern Region. It's rumored that he's only half a step away from the emperor realm. Generally speaking, the experts of the guard department are all stronger. There might be an emperor realm expert there," Bao Hongyan spoke with uncertainty.
Chu Xuan thought for a moment before giving up on the idea of controlling the one-star Tower Lord.
If the one-star Tower Lord was only a step away from reaching the Emperor realm, it was likely that he would not be able to control the person without anyone noticing.
Once he was exposed, he would no longer be able to secretly slowly gain control of the Black Moon Tower.
"Do you know about the Asura Ancient Land?"
"A little."
Thanks to Bao Hongyan, the gold-level Tower Lord, Chu Xuan finally received some information about the Asura Ancient Land.
"Speak."
"Yes, my Lord."
According to what Bao Hongyan said, the Asura Ancient Land was the site of a huge battle that broke out in the Southern Region when the demon race invaded the Northern Zone in ancient times.
It was because of this huge battle that the Southern Region's ley lines collapsed and the laws of Heaven and Earth were incomplete. All the emperor realm experts and above that were left behind after the war also withdrew from the Southern Region.
As for the Asura Ancient Land, after the collapse of the ley lines and the damage to the laws of Heaven and Earth, it disappeared into the space that had been torn apart.
According to their calculations, when the ley lines and the laws of Heaven and Earth of the Southern Region recovered the Asura Ancient Land would reappear.
Back then, when they fought against the demons, countless experts had died. There had to be many treasures and inheritances within, which was why the various major powers would send people to explore the ruins.
As it had been too long, those who knew of the Asura Ancient Land were all super powers of one kind or another. Hence, these major powers were all fighting for spots to participate.
Once it was confirmed, they would begin to take action.
Of course, it would still be some time before the Asura Ancient Land reappeared. Within 20 to 30 years, there was a high probability that no major powers would set foot in the Southern Region.
Chu Xuan let out a sigh of relief. If no major powers' experts would set foot into the Southern Region in 20 to 30 years, then he still had enough time to become stronger.
However, he could not let his guard down. What if an itinerant cultivator like Du Yuan sneaked into the Southern Region in advance?
Although they would hide themselves and shy away from trouble to avoid arousing any attention, they were still an unstable factor.
For Chu Xuan, who was pursuing stability, all uncontrollable factors were potential sources of hidden danger.
He immediately instructed Bao Hongyan to keep an eye out for any emperor-level or above powerhouses who appeared in the Southern Region. Once there was any information, she was to inform him immediately.
He gave Bao Hongyan a communication talisman so that they could keep in touch at all times.
Chu Xuan did not plan to promote the parent-child communication talisman before he had enough strength to fully control the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region.
Moreover, Chu Xuan felt that the parent-child communication talisman needed to be further upgraded. With a higher-level parent-child communication talisman, he could control many more child talismans.
He needed manpower to refine the parent-child communication talisman. He did not plan to do it himself. Therefore, he had to find someone with outstanding talent and great luck to appear.
Chapter 54: Grand Moon Mystic Body, Su Xian'er
There were a total of three gold-level Tower Lords in the Southern Region. They controlled Bao Hongyan's faction, which meant that Chu Xuan controlled one-third of the power of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region.
With Bao Hongyan's status as a gold-level Tower Lord, she could access most of the Black Moon Tower's intelligence on the Southern Region.
For example, she could immediately find out and inform Chu Xuan about any experts who appeared in the Southern Region.
Moreover, with the parent-child communication talisman, the information could be transmitted in real-time. Chu Xuan would have to read the reports from the Black Moon Tower every day.
For example, what happened, what treasures appeared, and so on.
The Southern Region was still very lively. Things like killing people and snatching treasures also happened from time to time.
The extermination of a small clan would also occasionally happen once or twice.
The great war between good and evil raged on every day.
Chu Xuan's days passed calmly. Every day, he would use the Myriad Heavenly Mirror to connect to the various regions randomly. Although, most of the time, it connected to a desolate place or to a demonic beast lair, Chu Xuan was still happy with it.
Occasionally, he would chat with Du Yuan, primarily to get information about the Asura Ancient Land from him.
At the same time, he paid attention to any inclinations from Du Yuan on whether or not he wanted to leave the Western Region and travel here.
Ren Changhe continued to study the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal. By this time, he had refined a lot of the aura of death into life force, and his body was no longer as dry and withered as a mummy.
His body had recovered a bit of life force, though he was still a bit away from breaking free and comprehending the cycle of life and death.
A month passed peacefully.
Hu Quan had obtained the topographic map of the Chu family's territory, but there had been no movements from his side. Chu Xuan had learned this from the Black Moon Tower's intelligence.
Apparently there were some changes going on in the Purple Moon Kingdom's heretic cult. Someone was fighting with Hu Quan for the position of sect leader.
As such, Hu Quan would not take any action against the Chu family in a short period of time.
Chu Xuan stared at the small hall of the lucky mystic realm despondently. It had been such a long time, yet why had no one with great luck come to his doorstep?
Why was it so difficult for him to take in a disciple or a maid?
Could it be that there were no lucky persons in the Southern Region?
Would such people only appear when the Asura Ancient Land was about to open?
Chu Xuan was depressed.
He still wanted to take in a capable disciple or a maid who could assist, run errands, and manage the Black Moon Tower for him.
After all, his plans for the Black Moon Tower had just begun.
It was time for dinner.
A family servant came over with a meal.
Chu Xuan was surprised. Why was there a new person?
Moreover, it was a woman?
Most importantly, the other party was actually disguising herself to conceal her identity as a woman.
Chu Xuan's interest was immediately piqued and immediately activated the Heavenly Secrets Origin Probing Technique.
"Su Xian'er. Sixteen years old. Grand Moon mystic body. Possesses great luck. She is the daughter of a concubine from the Su family of the Central Region. She fled from the Su family because she was trying to escape the engagement. She accidentally entered an ancient incomplete teleportation array and arrived at the Southern Region. She then disguised herself and hid in the Chu family to avoid being tracked down…"
Finally, a person with great luck had arrived, and it was a woman.
Chu Xuan was secretly delighted. As expected, the lucky mystic realm could attract people with great luck.
Su Xian'er possessed a special constitution of the Grand Moon mystic body, and her level of innate talent was extraordinary. She was only sixteen years old, yet she was already a second-level void realm expert.
In the Southern Province, she was absolutely a top-notch Heaven's blessed.
Su Xian'er took out the food and placed it nearby. She retreated to the side, but her mind was constantly thinking about whether or not the Su clan would be able to track her to this place.
The Southern Region was barren, and the Chu family was equivalent to a small family in the Central Region. It would not attract much attention.
As long as she hid herself well, she would not be exposed.
She had accidentally entered the ancient teleportation array and arrived in the Southern Region. She had managed to avoid many means of direction due to this fortuitous event. Now, as long as she avoided the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Province and was not discovered by their intelligence personnel, it would be almost impossible for the Su family to find her.
As long as she broke through to the Emperor realm, she would naturally have a way of resolving the issue of that damn engagement.
In order to avoid exposing herself, she had deliberately chosen this mission of delivering food to this small courtyard.
She had inquired about this matter clearly beforehand. The person who lived in the small courtyard was a direct descendant of the Chu family, a good-for-nothing. As his food delivery servant, she did not need to do anything else.
She just needed to deliver food to him.
This way, she would have more time to cultivate.
With the aura concealing technique that she cultivated, as long as she was careful and did not expose herself, no one in the Chu family would be able to discover her cultivation level.
Su Xian'er secretly hated her sister. With the latter's status as a direct descendant, she had actually fobbed off the engagement to Su Xian'er.
If that b*stard was good-looking and had outstanding talent, she might have been able endure it.
However, he was too ugly and had a bad character, so there was no way she would accept such an engagement.
'And that detestable father of hers actually agreed to her sister's request!' Su Xian'er thought angrily in her heart.
Suddenly, she was blinded by a dazzling seven-colored light in front of her.
She raised her head and tried to see what was going on.
Her small mouth opened slightly. She was completely stunned.
The rumored trash of the Chu family was bathed in the seven-colored divine light. He looked like an immortal deity.
"Su Xian'er of the Su family of the Central Region. The daughter of a concubine of the Su family. She escaped the engagement and mistakenly entered an ancient incomplete teleportation array and came to the Southern Region," Chu Xuan's dignified voice could be heard.
Pa!
The tray holding the meal in Su Xian'er's hands clattered to the floor.
She looked at Chu Xuan in shock.
"You, you…"
"I am lacking a maid. Are you willing to take up this responsibility?"
"I… I…"
Su Xian'er was shocked.
Was the person living in this small courtyard not the rumored trash-like direct descendant of the Chu family?
What was going on?
Who was he?
"This is an opportunity for you. You have a special constitution, the Grand Moon mystic body, but your cultivation technique is unable to display the characteristics of this constitution. With my guidance, it won't be difficult for you to reach the Heaven realm."
Chu Xuan's divine light seemed to envelope everything in its surroundings, and even removed Su Xian'er's disguise, revealing her beautiful face.
Su Xian'er was now caught in a predicament.
She was exposed!
What she was most confused about was how the other party knew her background?
Who was he?
He wanted her to be his maid?
Did that not mean that he could do whatever he wanted with her?
Resist?
How could she resist?
The other party was extremely powerful.
If she did not agree, what would happen?
Would he use force?
Grand Moon mystic body?
Su Xian'er had previously noticed that her constitution seemed to be somewhat special.
However, she did not know what kind of constitution it was.
The other party had seen through it with a single glance, so he had to be an extremely powerful expert.
Was it a fortuitous encounter or a dead end?
At this moment, Su Xian'er was unable to make a judgment.
"The fact that you were able to make it here speaks volumes of your great luck. Why are you hesitating? Do you think that I covet your beauty?"
Chu Xuan was speechless in his heart. This girl was really beautiful, though!
"No, I wouldn't dare to think so. It's just that Senior, I…"
Su Xian'er was extremely flustered.
"Do you think that just because you come from the Su family, becoming my maid is humiliating?"
"No, no, Su Xian'er pays her respects to Senior!"
Su Xian'er gritted her teeth and bowed respectfully.
"Very good. In the future, don't call me Senior. Call me Sir."
The divine light around Chu Xuan's body faded away, and his true appearance was revealed.
"Yes, Sir!"
Su Xian'er raised her head and looked at Chu Xuan.
He was so handsome!
The first thought in her mind was that, if her betrothed had been so handsome, why would she have run away from the marriage engagement?
"Get up."
"Yes, Sir."
Su Xian'er stood up. Her heart was in turmoil. She had only been in the Southern Region for a few days, yet she had already become someone else's maid!
Moreover, no matter how she looked at it, he did not look like an old monster. He seemed to be only around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Chapter 55: Controlling The Southern Region's Black Moon Tower
"You did not leave seclusion, yet a person with great luck has come to seek refuge under you. You have taken in a maid. You have been rewarded with the Grand Moon Element Immortal Spell and a lucky mystic realm."
A system notification rang out in Chu Xuan's mind.
Chu Xuan was not surprised by this.
The Grand Moon Immortal Spell was clearly a cultivation technique that was compatible with Su Xian'er's Grand Moon mystic body.
After receiving the reward, he discovered that the Grand Moon Immortal Spell was indeed the cultivation technique that was most compatible with the Grand Moon mystic body. It was able to fully unleash the talent of the Grand Moon mystic body.
He glanced at Su Xian'er. This girl had a timid look on her face and her eyes were darting around as if trying to find an escape route.
"Come here."
"Yes."
Su Xian'er's face turned pale as she walked over.
"Since you are my maid, I will teach you a suitable cultivation technique today."
Chu Xuan raised his finger and pressed it against her fair and smooth forehead.
Su Xian 'er was shocked. She wanted to dodge, but she could not.
Information surged into her mind, and a cultivation technique slowly manifested itself.
Su Xian'er closed her eyes as she started comprehending the cultivation technique in her mind.
After a full hour, she reopened her eyes.
The aura around her body fluctuated for a moment. She had actually broken through to the third level of the void realm.
"Thank you, Sir!"
Su Xian'er prostrated herself.
She was extremely excited, and no longer had the slightest bit of resistance or unwillingness toward becoming Chu Xuan's maid.
She only felt honored now.
This was a cultivation technique that was above the legendary divine technique.
It was impossible for even those in the Heaven realm to cultivate this technique.
"Very good."
Chu Xuan passed a bottle of medicinal pills. These were spirit pills that were suitable for void realm cultivators.
"Cultivate well. I took you in as my maid so that you can help me with certain tasks."
Chu Xuan threw the parent-child communication talisman to her and said, "Just help me sort out and organize the information you receive from here."
Su Xian'er received the talisman with a dumbfounded expression. He had taken her in as a maid just so that she could do some tasks for him?
Was he not prepared to do something to her?
'Sir is so good-looking and strong, I really won't resist.'
"I'll teach you an aura concealing technique. Even if you reach the Supreme realm, no one will be able to see through your cultivation."
Chu Xuan taught Su Xian'er an aura concealing technique. It was several levels higher than the aura concealing technique that Su Xian'er was currently using.
Chu Xuan did not lack cultivation techniques and secret arts. He had all kinds of them thanks to the system.
Chu Xuan was very satisfied with Su Xian'er. She was good-looking, had outstanding innate talent, and was very suitable for running errands and tasks.
In the future, she could be in charge of handling matters related to the Black Moon Tower.
It was just that her current strength was still a little weak.
However, that did not matter too much. Given her talent, and coupled with the fact that she cultivated the Grand Moon Immortal Spell and had no lack of cultivation resources, she would be able to improve very quickly.
It was more appropriate to control all three of the Black Moon Tower's gold-level Tower Lords in the Southern Region. They would then be able to pick a talented one between the three and train that person to become a one-star Tower Lord.
Step by step, they would gain control of the Black Moon Tower.
"This is information from the Black Moon Tower?"
Su Xian'er looked at the messages in the communication talisman and exclaimed in shock.
"Sir, are you a high-level member of the Black Moon Tower?"
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. From what he heard, the Black Moon Tower also existed in the Central Region, and it seemed that they were not weak there either.
"Not yet. I just extended a hand into the Black Moon Tower."
Su Xian'er was puzzled. What did he mean by extending a hand into the Black Moon Tower?
"Sir, the Su family must have already commissioned the Black Moon Tower to investigate my whereabouts. They won't be able to find me here, right?"
The Black Moon Tower was famous for their intelligence gathering abilities. They were even able to find out the top secrets of some of the major powers.
In the Central Province, the Black Moon Tower was also a very powerful force.
Thanks to that, they did not suffer any retaliation even though they leaked the secrets of some major powers.
"Don't worry. In the Southern Region, the Black Moon Tower will not leak your information. Moreover, they can help you to conceal your whereabouts."
Su Xian'er represented him. She was in charge of some of the information. As such, how would the Black Moon Tower dare to leak her information?
Now that he had a maid, he could relax. In addition, Chu Xuan had already planned to control the other two gold-level Tower Lords.
Chu Xuan was a low-key person, so Su Xian'er remained in her servant attire, looking delicate and pretty.
She was somewhat frustrated that Chu Xuan really treated her like a normal maid.
Bao Hongyan dropped by and left with two wisps of Chu Xuan's emperor-level spiritual power and the soul seed seals.
Su Xian'er was confused. She did not know which well-known beauty that was and what she was doing.
"Sir, who is she?"
After Bao Hongyan left, Su Xian'er asked curiously.
"She is one of the Black Moon Tower's gold-level Tower Lords in the Southern Region."
"The Black Moon Tower's gold-level Tower Lord?"
Su Xian'er was shocked and said, "Will she discover my true identity?"
"She is one of us. What are you worried about?"
Chu Xuan threw a communication talisman to her and said, "From now on, you will be responsible for contacting her, passing messages, and sorting through the information I am interested in."
Soon enough, the remaining two gold-level Tower Lords of the Black Moon Tower were controlled by Chu Xuan. Now, more than half of the power of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region was under Chu Xuan's control.
After controlling the Tower Lords, Chu Xuan quietly controlled the person in charge of the logistics next, as well as the three guards who were at the ninth level of the truth realm.
On the surface, the power of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region was still controlled by the one-star Tower Lord but, in actual fact, the real controller was Chu Xuan.
Su Xian'er was extremely shocked. Chu Xuan had actually silently taken control of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region.
His methods were too strange.
She suspected that Chu Xuan was going to eventually take control of the entire Black Moon Tower.
The founder of the blackmoon tower had always been a mysterious character, and his level of strength was also a complete mystery. Many super powers were not willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Black Moon Tower because of this.
It could be seen how powerful the Black Moon Tower was.
As Chu Xuan's servant, Su Xian'er indirectly controlled the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region. She could finally let out a sigh of relief.
The news of her whereabouts in the Southern Region would not be leaked out.
At the same time, through the Black Moon Tower, she could immediately find out if the Su family had discovered her tracks and whether they had started to take action.
"Today, a first-level truth realm heretic cultivator who was nearing the end of his life barged into the Evil King's palace. He enraged the Evil King and was personally killed by the latter."
Su Xian'er sat next to Chu Xuan and read out the Black Moon Tower's information about the Southern Region's cultivation world.
It was one of her daily tasks. She needed to pick out the most important bits of information from the Black Moon Tower and read it to Chu Xuan.
In order to understand the situation in the Southern Region, the Black Moon Tower would collect information about what was happening in various places every day.
Barging into the Evil King's palace was a trend amongst heretic cultivators, so such news was naturally indispensable.
The people who barged into the Evil King's palace were getting stronger and stronger. Now, even the heretic cultivators in the truth realm were starting to emerge.
The current Evil King was probably furious.
He was the first evil king to be provoked like this. He longer bore the pride and dignity of an Evil King that could not be provoked or offended.
Chu Xuan sighed. It seemed that there were a lot of people with mental problems among the heretic cultivators.
One after another, they took pride in barging into the Evil King's palace, even though such actions were suicidal.
It was fine if they were cultivators who were at the end of their lifespans. After all, there were people who wanted to make a name for themselves before they died.
However, there were heretic cultivators who were young and energetic who actually barged into the Evil King's palace as well. It could only be said that their evil techniques had damaged their brains.
