Chapter 153: Astral Infant Stage, Glorious Gold Hegemon Jiu

“Shall we get them?”

Zhao Congjian looked toward Xiao Jinghong and asked softly . He did not take these enemies seriously at all .

The Sword Noble nodded and said, “I will deal with the Astral Infant guy . The rest are yours . ”

Zhao Congjian had no objections . Both disappeared from their positions almost simultaneously .

The battle exploded into action in an instant .

Half an hour later .

The two returned to their original position . The trees that surrounded them were all knocked over . Blood was everywhere . Haoqi Alliance’s cultivators were all lying dead in the forest .

The hands of both were full of storage rings and bags .

They were well-taught by Zhou Xuanji to not fight for nothing .

They took account of all their plunder, before taking out a large piece of cloth and packing everything inside .

“Should we save this prince of Great Chen?”

Zhao Congjian asked . He frowned slightly and did not want to get involved in the trouble .

“We have already saved him . What more can we do?” Xiao Jinghong said expressionlessly .

“Go! Return home!”

“Okay!”

Both concurred and turned to leave .

The blue-robed young man laid motionless on the white wolf like a dead body .

…

After they returned to their underground cavern, Xiao Jinghong and Zhao Congjian told the rest what happened .

They were not surprised by the prince of Great Chen .

After all, there was a prince of Great Zhou with them .

“Let’s discuss further after Xuanji is done with his breakthrough . If he can’t even stay alive for half a month, he will die in the future even if we save him . ”

Daoya Old Man waved his long sleeve and said indifferently .

There were so many life and death matters . How many could they care for?

They already saved the prince of Great Chen . The rest depended on his fate .

The group had no objections .

Zhou Xuanji, whose entire body was golden, was still sitting in the cauldron, and hot air was rising all around him . His brows were knitted tightly as the mixture around him continued to bubble, which was frightening just by the looks of it .

Another 10 days passed .

Zhou Xuanji broke through to Soul Fountain Level Seven .

“Congratulations, the Sword Owner obtained [Glorious Gold] Hegemon Jiu!”

The Sword Spirit’s voice resounded in his mind again, and he opened his eyes .

Next, three lines of small words appeared before his eyes .

Sword Name: Hegemon Jiu

Grade: Glorious Gold

Description: The beloved sword of one of the Nine Emperors of the Sword’s Way, the Hegemon Sword Emperor . It is unrivaled in the ordinary world and contains within itself the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!

…

It was a Glorious Gold legendary sword!

Zhou Xuanji was pleasantly surprised . No wonder the Hegemon Sword Emperor was last and the most reputed ancient Sword Emperor .

After him, there were no sword cultivators who were acknowledged as a Sword Emperor by the world .

He did not feel that the Hegemon Sword Emperor was more powerful than the Sky-sundering Sword Emperor, but more generous instead .

The Sky-sundering Emperor Sword was not the Sky-sundering Emperor’s best sword . That guy was extraordinarily petty and only gave him two sword techniques .

The worst was that the Sky-sundering Sword Emperor Wang Xiaofei set dozens of stages for his trial .

Every time he thought about it, Zhou Xuanji could not help but despise Wang Xiaofei .

He did not take out Hegemon Jiu immediately since he had all the time in the future to do so .

Instead, he continued cultivating, absorbing the energy in the herbal mixture .

Time continued to pass .

12 days later .

He successfully broke through to Astral Infant Level One!

With his introspection, he sensed that a tiny infant was formed in his body with the same face as him . Spirit Qi from all his ligaments and bones flowed into the astral infant and condensed into spirit energy together with the Golden Core .

His spirit energy increased tremendously!

With Astral Infant Level One, his spirit energy increased more than 10 times compared to when he was still at Soul Fountain Level Ten .

“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached Astral Infant stage . Gacha begins!”

“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner has obtained [Gold] Dream Sword, Evil-exposing Mirror, ten Concealing Grass!”

Gold legendary sword?

Zhou Xuanji did not care about it, but was interested in the Evil-exposing Mirror and Concealing Grass instead .

Information of the Dream Sword appeared before his eyes:

Sword Name: Dream Sword

Grade: Gold

Description: Forged with ancient mirage stones, which can easily trap people in a mirage .

…

The ability is not bad .

He liked to trap people in a mirage .

“Evil-exposing mirror can expose the form of evildoers . Of course, if the person’s cultivation is too high, then it will not work . ”

“Concealing Grass allows the user to become invisible and hide his Qi-signature . The duration is one hour . ”

The Sword Spirit introduced, which pleased Zhou Xuanji .

All have great uses!

* It will be much more convenient for future adventures . *

Especially the Concealing Grass . I can use it to escape .

Shortly after, he continued to appropriate his new cultivation stage .

The effect of the herbal mixture had yet to run off . He could continue to sit inside .

Nearby, Daoya Old Man, Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the rest gathered .

“He really reached Astral Infant . So fast . ”

Xiao Jinghong mumbled to himself . His eyes were full of admiration .

Daoya Old Man chuckled, “Don’t even think about it . You are not physical cultivators, so you cannot bear the intruding effects of the Thunder Core Grass . He endured a month of painful suffering, which would be unbearable for most people . ”

The group nodded with respect for Zhou Xuanji .

During the month, they did not even catch Zhou Xuanji make a sound due to his pain . His endurance garnered their deep respect .

The little black snake praised him, saying, “He’s the one I chose to follow . ”

But Chongming Demon Monarch laughed in disdain and insulted him, “But my master made the wrong choice . You don’t deserve to be part of our group!”

“You…”

The little black snake was so angry that his body was shaking . If not for the fact that he was not powerful enough, he would have sure fought Chongming Demon Monarch with his life .

Another three days passed .

Zhou Xuanji jumped out of the Cauldron . His skin was like gold and streams of lightning surrounded his body .

Lightning flashed faintly in his eyes, which looked very impressive . The muscle lines on his upper body were perfect . They were balanced, exuding both strength and beauty, mesmerizing Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin .

He quickly leaped into the lake to bathe himself .

The lightning dispersed together with the lake water . Ah Big and Small Er, who were playing around in the water, were electrocuted and flew out of the lake immediately . They knocked themselves against the ceiling and almost fainted .

The group saw what happened and burst into laughter .

Daoya Old Man stroked his long beard and praised, “The power of lightning . This guy really has talent in physical cultivation . Great Zhou’s bloodline indeed . He is really like his father . ”

After Zhou Xuanji walked out of the water, he jerked his body, and the water on his skin evaporated .

“It was rumored that Emperor Yan of Zhou was a Great Accomplisher in physical cultivation . He could smash a mountain into pieces with one palm strike . ”

Xiao Jinghong said softly with curiosity in his eyes .

He really wanted to know how powerful Zhou Xuanji would become in the future .

Would he be like the Hegemon Sword Emperor, who dominated an entire generation?

Zhou Xuanji put on his White Dragon Golden Robe and opened his arms . Jiang Xue quickly ran into his arms, which kicked up a fuss among the rest .

“Damn! Throwing out dog food again!

TL: “Dog food” is an internet term referring to couples showing off their relationship in front of those who are single .

The little black snake complained, and then Chongming Demon Monarch sent him flying off with a kick .

Dog food was a term Zhou Xuanji taught to them by Zhou Xuanji .

They had followed Zhou Xuanji for quite a while and learned many fresh vocabularies from the earth .

Zhou Xuanji stretched his neck and smiled, “I feel excellent . Come, let’s go out for some game to roast . Take out some good wines to celebrate . How about that?”

“Okay!”

Beixiao Wangjian was the first to agree . He looked at Zhou Xuanji with a burning passion, as though he was looking at an otherworldly beauty .

Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and Huang Lianxin agreed too .

After Zhou Xuanji’s successful breakthrough, he would teach them more powerful sword techniques .

They were excited just from the thought of it .

The group packed up and quickly left the underground cavern .

After they got up, they immediately saw a silhouette .

20 meters away, a young man with tattered clothes was washing his face . Zhou Xuanji and the group suddenly jumped out of the world and gave him such a fright that he fell backward to the ground .

“Don’t come near me!” He moved backward as he shouted in fear, “I’m a prince of Great Chen!”

Zhou Xuanji rolled his eyes and said, “So what if you are a prince of Great Chen? I’m a prince of Great Zhou!”

“Yeah! I’m the grand-teacher of the prince of Great Zhou!”

Daoya Old Man said with a despicable smile .
