Chapter 219: A Year Later
Zhao Hao had murderous intent hidden in his heart and looked at Chen Qingniu with a hint of provocation. If the other party made a move, he would definitely kill Chen Qingniu instantly.

Bullshit ten-year agreement. He killed Chen Qingniu's father, and He Fang killed his father. This is a life-and-death feud that cannot be resolved.

"Wrong? I, Zhao Hao, am never wrong." Zhao Hao roared in his heart. He never thought that he was wrong. If there was any mistake, it was always someone else's fault.

Chen Qingniu's father dared to stand in his way, he deserved to die. Fangshan did not show favoritism to him, but instead punished him, making him suffer in purgatory for several months, he also deserved to die!

During the time he was punished, his hatred had risen to an unimaginable level. When he saw Chen Qingniu, he was already thinking about how to start.

He walked over step by step, stood ten meters in front of Chen Qingniu, and said calmly: "It turned out to be you, I heard that you once challenged my junior brother Zhao Rugou, but ended up being defeated and seriously injured.

With your strength, you still want to challenge me, don't be so crazy, you are just courting death."

Lin Xiwulin and others stood up. Zhao Hao was accompanied by dozens of third-generation disciples of Tianjian Mountain. Each of them was a sword immortal who was decisive in killing and had extraordinary combat power.

Veins bulged on Chen Qingniu's hands and he wished he could kill Zhao Hao right away, but he knew that his current strength was far from enough.

Taking action now would just be courting death.

"I am not your opponent now, but that doesn't mean I will be your opponent in the future. A year ago, I was at the peak of Vajra, a year later, I am at the peak of Sky Control, and ten years later, I will enter the Celestial Immortal realm, and I will definitely kill you!"

Chen Qingniu gritted his teeth. His fighting power had increased so much in this year that he could already see the possibility of revenge.

"Wishful thinking." Zhao Hao sneered.

He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan's temperament and figure had changed greatly, and even greater was his cultivation, but he still recognized him.

A year ago, Wang Xuan was in the physical body realm, at the lowest level in the mother planet’s cultivation system, only slightly better than ordinary people.

A year later, Wang Xuan had reached the Sky-controlling Realm and entered the stage of Earthly Immortal. It was truly terrifying to cross more than a dozen realms in one year.

Zhao Hao was horrified and shocked, thinking to himself: "This little guy was only at the physical training stage at that time, how could he have reached the earthly immortal level within a year?
At this rate, will he become a celestial being in a year? Or a true immortal in ten years?"

From physical training to earthly immortal in one year, such a speed of practice is simply jaw-dropping. Any disciple of the mountain gate needs several months to endure one realm, and it is a remarkable thing to complete the seven realms of body training in two or three years.

To become a terrestrial immortal, it takes so much time and energy.

And what about Wang Xuan? It only took one year!
This speed of cultivation has crushed countless people. The progress is too fast, it is simply to an enchanting level.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao's heart suddenly tightened, and his fear of Wang Xuan increased infinitely, even to fear.

It’s like there is a time bomb next to you that can explode at any time.

If Chen Qingniu was just a pursuer, he could watch coldly, because his cultivation speed was also very fast, and it would be easy to defeat the opponent in ten years, or even kill him halfway.

But as for Wang Xuan, he was afraid that if he wasn't careful he would be surpassed, or even surpassed by someone with higher cultivation level, and be easily killed one day.

He was afraid of such potential.

The sword at his waist was ready to move. If he took advantage of Wang Xuan's practice and killed him with one sword, there would be no such trouble.

Looking at the two Dharmakaya monks standing in front of Wang Xuan, Wulin and Linxi were ready to attack at any time and regarded him as an enemy.

If a conflict breaks out, it will be impossible to kill Wang Xuan instantly.

"To kill or not to kill?" Zhao Hao was making a decision in his heart.

If he kills Wang Xuan, the punishment will definitely be severe, and he might even be expelled from the sect. If he doesn't kill him, there will be a major crisis in the future.

At this moment, Wang Xuan's mind was immersed in cultivation. He was slightly aware of the changes in the outside world and also noticed Zhao Hao's arrival.

“This Zhao Hao actually showed up. It seems that his status in Tianjian Mountain has not changed much, and he can still enjoy the proper treatment of a mountain sect disciple.

This person must hate Chen Qingniu and me to the core and wants to kill us. We have to be on guard against him. My strength is not enough!" "Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!" He was determined and spent his energy to practice rapidly.

After a breath, the first level of the Yuanling Sword Embryo was completed!
In an instant, his soul grew 30% stronger. The essence of his soul became more condensed and purer, and both its quality and quantity made a leap forward.

Another breath, and the second level of Yuanling Sword Embryo was completed!
In an instant, the soul in his mind turned into the form of a sword. This was a kind of imitation. The soul was like a sword. He experienced the most fundamental sword energy, sword force, and sword intent, using his soul as a sword.

At this moment, his soul was like a sword with a sharp sword light, and the sword energy transformed by his mental power was crisscrossing in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. He felt inexplicably that his soul had undergone great changes, and a special sword talent was awakened.

The strength and number of his souls doubled again! There were few cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm who could match him.

In one more breath, the third level of Yuanling Sword Embryo is completed!
After completing the third level of cultivation, one's mental power turns into swords, and divine thoughts can be transformed into sharp swords at any time. These can be called the sword of thought or the sword of mental power.

At the same time, Wang Xuan discovered that countless runes appeared on his soul, which seemed to be about swordsmanship and soul, hidden in the soul. One after another, lines emerged and entangled on it, and an extremely complex and powerful formation was born.

At this moment, he felt that everything in the world could be a sword and could be used by him and refined into a killing sword weapon.

His soul transformed again, and he had a feeling that even if a peak earth immortal fought with his soul, he would be fine. With the formation diagram on his soul, he was invincible. In addition to the sword and soul runes, his killing ability increased greatly!
The fourth breath, the fourth level of Yuanling Sword Embryo, is done!
The fourth level is called the Sword of the Soul.

In just a moment, he cultivated the fourth level of Yuanling Sword Embryo, but he had just entered the door and had not practiced to the ultimate level when he felt a heavenly calamity coming.

"I have just entered the fourth level. I have already invested 150,000 source power points in the Yuanling Sword Embryo. Even if I have practiced the Hunyuan Martial Classic and the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Cover until now, I have not consumed this amount combined."

Wang Xuan felt secretly distressed, but feeling the transformation of his own strength, he felt that it was very worthwhile. In terms of strength alone, he was confident that he could fight against the peak earthly immortals.

As for the transformation of the essence of the soul, he has a great deal of experience in it. This is an investment in the future. After the transformation of his soul, he will be able to go further in his spiritual practice!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky above him, and soon the heavenly calamity descended. With a loud bang, golden lightning as thick as an arm fell down.

The thunder of heavenly tribulation has great destructive power and puts enormous pressure on cultivators, but at the same time, it also contains vitality and a miraculous energy that can transform cultivators.

During the heavenly tribulation, Wang Xuan's body was in a state of destruction and repair, gradually becoming stronger. The power of the Hunyuan Golden Pill absorbed lightning and thunder and also underwent a transformation.

And the soul, which at this time can be called the soul of the sword of the primordial spirit, brings in the most yang power in the thunder and a bit of core life.

The birth of life on Earth may be due to lightning striking the ocean, and that bit of vitality created life. Such a bit of vitality is extremely precious to cultivators.

Under the test of the extreme yang force, it is strengthened little by little. The soul is afraid of the extreme yang force, and it is also very dangerous for the soul to leave the body in the flying realm.

But under the tempering of thunder, Wang Xuan's soul gradually turned golden, from yin to yang, harmonizing yin and yang, and finally becoming a special primordial spirit.

Such a change normally only occurs in the Pure Yang realm, but Wang Xuan has achieved it at this moment.

With golden thunder above his head and bathing in heavenly calamity, Wang Xuanzhan stood up. There was no one around him, and everyone moved away for the time being.

No one had any idea why Wang Xuan's aura suddenly increased in just a few breaths, and even suffered a heavenly tribulation. Such a change was truly astonishing.

“Where did this heavenly tribulation come from?” Everyone was also surprised. They didn’t know why Wang Xuan would attract a heavenly tribulation. This was a heavenly tribulation and not ordinary thunder.

The first official heavenly tribulation for the cultivators of the Mother Star basically comes when they are promoted to Celestial Immortals. Those who can attract heavenly tribulation before this level are all talented and favored by heaven.

Thunder struck Wang Xuan one after another, his skin and flesh were torn apart, and the soul in his sea of ​​consciousness gradually transformed into his primordial spirit. Such pain was unimaginable, like walking through the eighteen levels of hell.

But he had a blank expression on his face, walking on the void and looking at Zhao Hao. Bathed in the thunder of heavenly tribulation, he was like a god, coming with the power of heaven and earth.

"Zhao Ritian, long time no see. After not seeing you for so many years, you are still as charming as ever."

Wang Xuan had no intention of retreating and acted very strongly. After a year, he was no longer a weakling who could be killed easily by Zhao Hao.

Now, he has caught up with Zhao Hao in combat power and is on the same starting line.

(There will be another update in the evening. I've been very busy recently, so the update schedule is a bit messy, but I promise to update twice a day.)
