Chapter 328: Experience Points, Ten Million!
“Xu Ziqing” stepped through the air just like that, walking to the very center of the Spear Aura, then suddenly swung a sword forward.
The Spear Aura was instantly annihilated, yet the surging baleful aura and baleful aura continued to rush forward.
Their forms appeared somewhat ferocious.
At times resembling savage beasts, at times resembling vengeful ghosts.
The Ancestor Emperor held the long spear diagonally in his hand, bracing it behind himself.
He knew in his heart that a sword like that—at most, the opponent could swing it one more time.
“Even for a body cultivator, the body can’t withstand it!”
“The recovery speed of his physical body cannot keep up with the destructive speed brought by the Evil Sword!”
“If it were Chu Huaixu’s body, perhaps a few more strikes could be made.”
At this thought, the Ancestor Emperor grew even more vexed and furious.
He thrust forward once more, and at the moment he swung his spear, the Phantom of the Violet Moon behind him merged into his body.
At the same time, he also activated the power contained within his divine sense.
From the storage ring on his left hand, he took out an item.
It was a drop of water.
A drop of incomparably pure, crystal-clear water.
Among the major cultivators on the high platform, Nangong Yue could not help but exclaim, “This is… Holy Water!”
This water was known as the purest, clearest, and most sacred substance in the world.
It was one of the highest-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
It could be used for artifact refining, talisman crafting, or even setting up formations…
Moreover, it had a certain restraining effect on the baleful aura, which was regarded as the most evil energy between heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, the baleful aura contained within the Bronze Sword was simply too vast.
And Holy Water in the world was far too scarce.
The moment the spear tip of 【Emperor Moon】 struck that droplet, it carried it into the Spear Aura.
A powerful gust of wind surged forward, sweeping across the entire arena.
Wherever this wind passed, everyone felt refreshed and invigorated.
Meanwhile, streams of cascading water appeared along the spear.
The waterfalls intertwined with the violet flames, yet neither affected the other.
However, the baleful aura was dispersed and partially dissipated.
Chu Huaixu, watching from below, suddenly had a thought.
“I can’t take anything out of the Accursed Pill because I can’t break it.”
“Then… could this Holy Water dissolve the Accursed Pill?”
“A sacred object like this seems to only affect evil things—it shouldn’t damage what’s inside the Accursed Pill,” Chu Huaixu thought.
He felt this was a possibility.
But such heavenly treasures were exceedingly rare.
He wasn’t even sure whether the Dao Gate’s Treasure Pavilion had any in stock.
After all, even the Ancestor Emperor had only taken out a single drop!
“Xu Ziqing’s” face was filled with endless fury and mania.
Toward this Holy Water, the Evil Sword clearly harbored deep hatred.
The black sword qi instantly became even more violent, and the Bronze Sword let out a sharp sword cry.
The chaotic airflow made it impossible for everyone to clearly see what was happening in the sky.
Even Chu Huaixu could not see clearly.
In the end, they only saw a sword and a spear falling from the sky, their tips each stabbing into the platform.
And within the indistinct chaotic airflow, Xu Ziqing’s body fell from above first.
On the high platform, Jiang Zhi waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy lifted the unconscious youth.
When the sky gradually became visible again, everyone saw that “Qin Xuanxiao” was still standing midair.
This seemed to already signify victory or defeat.
The entire arena instantly erupted into thunderous cheers.
But those cheers came to an abrupt halt.
Because the Crown Prince’s swaying body also fell from the sky shortly after.
Thus, the semifinals of the Eastern and Western Continents’ Grand Competition came to an end.
Qin Xuanxiao, Heir of Prince Rui, advanced to the Champion’s Duel with a slight advantage.
After the crowd dispersed, the major cultivators of Mirror Country from the Eastern Continent gathered in Jiang Zhi’s courtyard instead of returning to their own places.
“What’s the meaning of Moon Country winning this match?” Situ Cheng spoke bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth.
Mei Chuxue immediately echoed, “Indeed, it’s meaningless for the greater situation. It can even be considered a violation of the rules.”
Chu Yinyin quickly chimed in, “Exactly!”
“Originally, we could turn a blind eye to Qin Xuanxiao relying on the Spirit Seed.”
“After all, that little girl is special—her spiritual energy can be brought into the Origin Spirit Realm.”
“But this time, the entrance to the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm is still within our Mirror Country.”
“Something like the nation’s fate power used by the Ancestor Emperor simply cannot be used or brought in!”
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
According to the unwritten rules of the past centuries, what the Four Great Sects and the Moon Country Royal Family truly valued was the strength that could be utilized within the 【Origin Spirit Realm】.
Even if Qin Xuanxiao won today with the Ancestor Emperor fighting on his behalf and various external boosts, so what?
Once inside the Origin Spirit Realm, he wouldn’t even compare to Xu Ziqing, who relied solely on himself and his sword!
Jiang Zhi and the Sword Sovereign remained silent the entire time.
While everyone was discussing intensely, an uninvited guest arrived.
The 【Guardian of the Nation】 Xiahou Yue arrived, clad in golden armor, making him appear even more imposing.
“Everyone, I came only to deliver a message.”
“The concerns you all hold—we and His Majesty are well aware of them.”
“But that person has said he has his own way to bring the nation’s fate power into the 【Origin Spirit Realm】.”
“After all… you should also know that the so-called fate of Moon Country is actually gathered because of him.”
“That is all. Farewell.”
After speaking, Xiahou Yue transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the imperial palace.
Leaving behind Situ Cheng and the others in the courtyard, who couldn’t help but snort coldly.
“He says it can be brought in, but how can it compare to being in the Imperial Capital, where fate power flows endlessly?” Situ Cheng said irritably.
But there was no definite answer, so no one could respond to him.
In the end, the middle-aged scholar asked, “Senior Jiang, what are the Dao Gate’s plans?”
Right now, Xu Ziqing had lost unfairly, and Chu Huaixu would soon participate in the Champion’s Duel.
Naturally, this matter depended largely on the Dao Gate’s stance.
Jiang Zhi exchanged glances with Nangong Yue and Chu Yinyin before saying:
“The competition isn’t over yet. Everything will be discussed after it ends.”
“The position of champion is only something placed on the surface for all to see.”
“As for who ultimately enters the Origin Spirit Realm, Mirror Country and Moon Country can still have a proper discussion!” His gaze sharpened.
Everyone nodded slightly.
But at this moment, that figure from Luo Heaven Valley, 【Heavenly Net】, could not help but say:
“However, judging from the current situation, I don’t see much chance for Chu Huaixu to win.”
“The issue of the endlessly supplied nation’s fate power is simply too troublesome.”
If the opponent were only Qin Xuanxiao, it wouldn’t be like this.
The amount of fate power he could mobilize was quite limited.
But with the Ancestor Emperor personally stepping in, the amount of fate power he could draw upon was terrifying!
Jiang Zhi, however, said, “I just went to see that kid. He seemed carefree and unconcerned, as if he felt no pressure even after watching today’s match.”
“So I think Chu Huaixu will win.”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Was this elder placing a bit too much trust in his disciple’s disciple?
Little did they know—it was because he had been proven wrong too many times that Jiang Zhi had gained experience.
In the small courtyard where the Dao Gate’s true disciples resided, Little Xu was still unconscious.
Han Shuangjiang was watching over him, while Chu Huaixu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion with his eyes closed.
At this moment, his Character Panel still had over five million free experience points.
In addition, there was still 1 free special attribute point unassigned.
In his Backpack, there was also 1 Earth-grade Treasure Chest.
Following his previous plan, he directly added that 1 special attribute point to Physique.
“【Physique 9】! Awesome!” he praised himself.
Even Chu Huaixu himself hadn’t expected that he could raise his Physique to 9 points while still in the Third Realm.
He was now only one step away from the legendary Physique 10.
“I wonder if the rewards in the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm include attribute points?”
“If they do, then once I win and come out, I’ll reach Physique 10!”
Of course, the premise was that he first had to win the Eastern and Western Continents’ Grand Competition.
Sitting on the meditation cushion, Chu Huaixu clenched his fists hard, feeling the power of his physical body.
“Too terrifying—this time it increased by nearly fifty percent!”
“Then will the final point directly double it?”
He felt that this was very likely!
More importantly, with Physique 10 as a foundation, his future path of body cultivation would be much smoother, and the physical strength gains from breakthroughs would also be greater.
“If I don’t become the number one body cultivator in the world, I’d be wasting this talent!” Chu Huaixu thought.
In this world, excluding the Dao Ancestor, it seemed that in the past thousand years, no Ninth Realm body cultivators had appeared.
Even those in the Seventh or Eighth Realm were extremely rare.
The path of body cultivation was simply too difficult if one wanted to reach the level of a major cultivator.
Who would have thought that ever since he chose the Sword Refining Art from a pile of cultivation methods, he had become bound to this path?
From “body cultivation? even dogs wouldn’t practice it,” it had turned into “cultivate! what I cultivate is the body!”
At this moment, after some thought, Chu Huaixu decided to open the Earth-grade Treasure Chest as well.
What he obtained surprised him somewhat.
“Damn it! Why is there a 6.66 million experience points gift pack!”
“It actually gave me this!” Chu Huaixu was speechless.
Generally speaking, getting experience points from treasure chests wasn’t very cost-effective.
Because the system would determine an appropriate amount based on your overall situation.
At present, it was indeed a huge sum!
But looking toward the future, a few million didn’t seem like much.
“But seeing 11.8 million experience points on the panel… it still feels great just looking at it,” he thought.
This enormous sum could once again elevate his overall combat power!
At this thought, he suddenly froze, remembering something.
Previously, when he entered the Dao Ancestor Inheritance Secret Realm, he had made an agreement with himself.
In the future, every time he accumulated 10 million experience points, he would set aside 1 million and directly use it to learn once—
—Myriad Swords Converge!
