Chapter 430: Chapter 240: The Divine Destruction, Xu Yan Returns_2
No Refining God Heavenly Man can withstand his blow!
Unless he grants them a chance to live!
“Xu Yan has dismantled a power and slain a Refining God Heavenly Man, he should be returning to the Inner Domain soon, right?”
Li Xuan thought with excitement.
“A realm above the Divine Skills should also be established.”
Upon his return, Xu Yan will definitely consolidate himself, and comprehend the gains from his journey in the Ling Domain, undoubtedly his strength will elevate further.
He might even decipher the cultivation technique of the Divine Skill Realm.
Therefore, he should start preparing for a martial arts technique beyond the Divine Skills.
While the bizarre martial arts technique has been developed and the array diagram is ready, without a suitable apprentice, it can only be put on hold for now.
“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has slain a Heavenly Man, your experience with the God Obliteration technique has increased.”
Li Xuan: …
He just acquired the God Obliteration technique a short while ago, he has never applied it, yet he feels as if he had used it hundreds of times, and his experience has grown.
“There are quite a few Heavenly Men in the Ling Domain Martial Arts, but why do I feel that Xu Yan randomly encounters them all the time, and they tend to bear grudges?”
Li Xuan was somewhat speechless.
Since Xu Yan entered the Ling Domain, how many martial arts Heavenly Men has he killed?
In the Inner Domain, they are legendary powerhouses, lofty and superior. They, whom many half-step Heavenly People once looked up to and wished to become, ended up encountering Xu Yan. They were slaughtered like grasshoppers, one after another.
He even assassinated a Refining God Heavenly Man.
In the Ling domain, they were truly considered powerful!
…
In the northern barren lands, the Gate of Lingyu opened.
Ever since Xu Yan entered the Gate of Lingyu, it hadn’t been opened again.
Now that the Gate of Lingyu was open once more, all the powerhouses at the peak where Tianbao Pavilion was located were on high alert, fearing that the strong man who came from Lingyu was aligned with Tianbao Pavilion.
“What is he doing in the Inner Domain?”
“As long as he’s not coming to our Tianbao Pavilion, don’t concern yourself with the rest. The one on Canglan Island will handle it.”
Seeing the person emerging from the Gate of Lingyu leave directly, the man with the purple crown let out a sigh of relief. As the Pavilion Master, he had grown accustomed to his exalted position.
If the man had come to Tianbao Pavilion, as a servant, he would have had to greet him kneeling. What worried him most was if the man found his service lacking and killed him with one slap. How aggrieved he would be!
The Gate of Lingyu closed again.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan was excited. His trip to the Ling Domain yielded great rewards.
He could now settle in the Inner Domain for a while.
Coming back from the Ling Domain, he was strangely unaccustomed for a moment.
The spiritual energy in the Inner Domain was far inferior to that in Ling Domain.
Moreover, the Spirit Mechanism of heaven and earth was much less active than in the Ling Domain. This disparity was like being in a bustling metropolis one moment and in an old, rundown village the next.
With such a huge disparity, it’s no wonder that the martial artists of Ling Domain looked down on the Inner Domain, referring to it as an inferior place.
“You’re from the Inner Domain?”
Yu Xiaolong poked his head out from his sleeve, astounded.
“What, is there a problem?”
Xu Yan asked, frowning.
“The spiritual energy of the Inner Domain is thin, the Spirit Mechanism of heaven and earth isn’t very active, how did you cultivate to be so strong?”
Yu Xiaolong was horrified.
The Inner Domain was widely known as an inferior place.
Even though there were prodigies, these prodigies, trapped in the Inner Domain, could only reach a limited level of strength, unable to break through to become martial arts Heavenly Men for their entire lives.
Only by entering the Ling Domain could they continue to upgrade themselves.
He could never have imagined that Xu Yan, who came from the Inner Domain, easily crushed all the prodigies of Yuzhou in the Ling Domain.
“The spiritual energy in the Inner Domain is just thin, which just slows down cultivation. That’s not a big deal.”
Xu Yan said indifferently.
The cultivation of Dahua martial arts was not dependent on the activity of the Spirit Mechanism of heaven and earth; a thin spiritual energy just slowed down the cultivation process a bit.
With time, strength would continue to improve.
“This is not just about thin spiritual energy; in the Inner Domain, it’s impossible to break through to the state of Martial Arts Heavenly Men.”
Yu Xiaolong opened his mouth, sounding serious.
“Then don’t cultivate the Inner Domain Martial Arts.”
Xu Yan said it lightly.
“You seem to know a lot about the Inner Domain?”
Xu Yan then asked.
“Who in the Inner Domain doesn’t know about the Spirit Realm? The martial artists from the Spirit Sect and the various families dismiss the Inner Domain as a lower-class place. Not to mention the fact that when the Blood Demon escaped into the Inner Domain, the entire Spirit Realm knew about it.”
Yu Xiaolong explained.
Xu Yan nodded. He had already learned about the incident with the Blood Demon in the Tomb of the Heavenly Man.
“So, you practice Inner Realm Martial Arts?”
Yu Xiaolong cautiously asked.
“Of course!”
“Is there any other martial art in the Inner Domain?”
Yu Xiaolong was taken aback.
He had previously guessed that the martial arts Xu Yan was practicing might be different.
“There wasn’t before, but there is now.”
Xu Yan reverted back to his normal appearance and headed towards Canglan Island.
“You’re a spirit beast, trapped by your bloodline. Once you get back to Canglan Island, you can ask Red Cat about the Great Demon Technique. If you cultivate this technique, you’ll break free from the confines of your bloodline, just like martial artists.”
Xu Yan smiled as he said this.
A surge of anticipation flashed in Yu Xiaolong’s heart for the Great Demon Technique that Xu Yan mentioned.
Could there really be a technique in the world that spiritual beasts can cultivate?
Yu Xiaolong did not ask further. Now that he was in the Inner Domain, he would naturally understand the reason. He even wondered if knowing too much would be a good thing.
One thing he was sure of, he couldn’t leave Xu Yan.
“My opportunity is here. This is my chance to make my dreams come true. I must seize it. Whether I can transform into a True Dragon will depend on this opportunity.”
Yu Xiaolong thought, excited.
As usual on Canglan Island.
Meng Chong was cultivating at the peak, accumulating his foundation, while Zi Yun would sometimes run over to ask him about martial arts.
Su Lingxiu was researching the integration of alchemy and martial arts. Her skill in alchemy was becoming more proficient. She hardly used the Alchemy Furnace when refining medicine anymore.
Occasionally, she would take the time to give guidance to Pharmacist Pan and a few alchemy apprentices.
Three of the alchemy apprentices had just mastered the basics of alchemy and could independently refine the commonly used medicinal pills required in the Inner Domain.
This way, even if she leaves for the Spirit Realm, she doesn’t have to worry about any issues with Chang Qing Pavilion’s medicine production.
Xu Junhe, Shi’er, Zhou Ying, and Meng Shushu were all earnestly trying to overcome their bottleneck in preparation for breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm. While progress had been made, there was still a long way to go before they could truly break through.
The most leisurely person on the island wasn’t Li Xuan. He was pondering over the martial arts beyond the Divine Skills, even considering creating one. Despite appearing leisurely, he was exhausting his spiritual energy daily using the Daoist Golden Book.
The most leisurely person was Mother Xu. Besides teaching Red Cat how to read and write, she had nothing else to do. Teaching Red Cat became her favorite pastime.
“Trying to create a Divine Skill without reaching the Divine Skill Realm is quite challenging.”
Li Xuan collected his mindscape from the Daoist Golden Book and sighed.
Suddenly, he looked towards the external part of Canglan Island.
Xu Yan is back!
“Eldest brother, you’re back!”
Meng Chong said, brimming with joy.
“Yan’er is back?”
While teaching Red Cat how to read, Mother Xu lit up. She immediately picked up Red Cat by the tail and ran out of the room.
Like a chubby orange, Red Cat was lifted by its tail, a baffled expression on its face.
With Xu Yan’s return, Canglan Island became lively.
After all, Xu Yan was the first person to return from the Spirit Realm.
Everyone was curious about what the Spirit Realm was like.
Mother Xu finally remembered the Red Cat in her hand and hurriedly put it down.
Red Cat crouched at her feet, looking curiously at Xu Yan, waiting for him to recount his experiences in the Spirit Realm.
In addition, its eyes occasionally darted towards Xu Yan’s sleeve, sensing a certain aura that was neither that of a Great Demon nor an ordinary beast.
Spirit beast!
After some warm greetings and having paid his respects to his parents and master, it occurred to Xu Yan to pull out Yu Xiaolong from his sleeve.
“This is Yu Xiaolong, a spirit beast Jade Crystal Snake!”
Yu Xiaolong scanned everyone on Canglan Island. Its gaze swept over Li Xuan, who was sitting in the chair, and feelings of shock surged within it. Xu Yan’s master was inscrutable.
And the bald, rugged man exuded an overwhelming aura, making it scared.
As for Su Lingxiu, she seemed quite gentle and emitted an aura of agility that made it feel a sense of closeness.
The rest of them were rather weak.
Even this cat was somewhat unusual. However, it couldn’t figure out what was so special about it.
Could this be the Red Cat that Xu Yan spoke of?
