22: Chapter 22 Battle Against a Primordial Being

That night.

Li Changsheng sat on the bed, thinking of the Blood Fiend Sect's basic Cultivation Technique, "Blood Refining Art," that he had seen today.

"Cultivating with Spiritual Qi as the foundation, this should be a brand-new cultivation System."

Li Changsheng thought.

"This 'Blood Refining Art' actually contains some basic Formations in addition to basic cultivation. However, the starting point is high, and the growth is also very high."

Li Changsheng carefully pondered the "Blood Refining Art." He skimmed over the parts about refining essence blood and focused on comprehending its cultivation principles.

Current Martial Artist cultivation is all based on True Qi.

The fist techniques and palm techniques of a Martial Artist's early stages are merely for accumulating True Qi.

This stage is basically the Houtian Realm stage.

When the True Qi becomes thick and pure enough to be released externally, one reaches the Xiantian Realm.

As the True Qi becomes even purer and the distance of external release reaches ten feet, one enters the Grandmaster Realm.

It seems that for Martial Artists cultivating True Qi, the Grandmaster Realm is the end of the road.

In contrast, cultivation based on Spiritual Qi seems to have a higher ceiling and higher entry requirements.

The only difference is that at the first level of spiritual cultivation, as long as one Cultivates the corresponding spells and condenses spiritual power, they can perform long-range attacks. The downside is that the cultivator's Physical Body strength is relatively weak.

The Blood Fiend Sect cultivator in the 'Blood Fang' squad last time seemed to be at the second level of spiritual cultivation. His combat power was already at the Peak of the seventh layer of the Houtian Realm, close to the eighth layer.

"The Realm isn't high, but the combat power is quite formidable."

"I just don't know what the basic entry requirements for this spiritual power cultivation are, or what Realm divisions exist above it."

"Besides, I don't have a Cultivation Technique I can use."

Recently, Li Changsheng has been polishing his Xiantian Realm cultivation.

At this point, he had vaguely reached the threshold of Major Achievement in the Xiantian Realm, but he just couldn't break through for the time being.

For several days, Li Chang'an set about thinking about this Xiuzhen system, but he didn't make much progress.

[Xiuzhen system detected, Simulation System updating... Update complete]

[System update: Consumed 30 points of Mental Energy, 0 points of Mental Energy remaining.]

[New simulation world type added: Low-Magic Xiuzhen World]

"Oh? The Simulation System added a Xiuzhen world. Great!"

However, before Li Chang'an could conduct a simulation, the Wang Family took the initiative to strike.

On the fifth day after Li Changsheng came out of seclusion, the peace of Qinghe Town was shattered.

The Wang Family suddenly struck.

Using the excuse of "the Li Family secretly possessing Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques," they joined forces with the Town Guard's Office to demand a search of the Li Family!

This accusation was extremely malicious.

The martial arts world fears involvement with the Demonic Path most of all; once confirmed, the Li Family would become public enemies.

"The Wang Family is acting out of desperation."

Li Zhenshan sneered.

"Changsheng, it's time to pull in the net."

Li Changsheng nodded.

"Let the Zhao Family watch the show; the good part is about to begin."

When the Wang Family members and the soldiers from the Town Guard's Office arrived at the Li Family gate, Li Changsheng was already waiting with his people.

"Wang Minghao, you slander my Li Family for secretly possessing Demonic Techniques. Do you have evidence?"

Li Zhenshan questioned loudly.

"Evidence?"

Wang Minghao grinned hideously.

"Your Li Family members' strength has skyrocketed recently. If not for cultivating Demonic Techniques, how could this be?"

"Lord Town Guard, please order the search!"

The Town Guard was a chubby middle-aged man.

Having accepted benefits from the Wang Family, he was naturally biased.

"Clan Chief Li, if you have nothing to hide, what's the harm in letting this official search?"

"You can search."

Li Changsheng suddenly spoke.

"But if nothing is found, what then?"

"If nothing is found?"

Wang Mingzhe laughed loudly.

"If nothing is found, my Wang Family will compensate your Li Family with ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Not enough."

Li Changsheng shook his head.

"If nothing is found, I want all of the Wang Family's shares in the Black Iron Mine to belong to my Li Family."

"You!"

Wang Mingzhe was furious.

"Fine!"

"But what if we do find something?"

"If something is found, the Li Family will withdraw from Qinghe Town from now on, and all assets will belong to your Wang Family."

"It's a deal!"

The Town Guard immediately led his men to search.

However, after turning the Li Family upside down, they found nothing but normal martial arts techniques. Where were the Demonic Techniques?

"Impossible!"

The Wang Clan Chief, Wang Mingzhe, looked ashen.

The Second-in-command, Wang Minghao, immediately followed up.

"It must be hidden in a secret room!"

"Wang Minghao, have you had enough?"

Li Zhenshan said coldly.

"Now, it's time to fulfill the bet."

"Hold on."

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw three black-robed figures who had appeared in the field at some unknown time.

The leader was none other than that Blood Fiend Sect Scholar.

"Blood Fiend Sect business. Bystanders, step aside."

The Scholar said indifferently.

"Blood Fiend Sect?!"

The Town Guard's legs went weak with fear.

"The de-Demonic Path!"

"Wang Mingzhe!"

Li Zhenshan shouted sternly.

"You actually conspired with the Demonic Path!"

"So what if I did?"

Wang Mingzhe simply dropped all pretenses.

"Today is the day your Li Family is exterminated!"

"Three Seniors, please strike!"

The Scholar's gaze fell on Li Changsheng, a flash of greed in his eyes.

"'Spirit Ape Health-Preserving Technique' True Qi... It really is you."

Li Changsheng's heart tightened.

The other party actually knew the Spirit Ape Health-Preserving Technique!

"Take him down. I want him alive."

The Scholar ordered.

The two black-robed men instantly pounced toward Li Changsheng!

Their Auras erupted; they were both actually in the Xiantian Realm!

The whole place was in an uproar!

"This boy will likely be killed in an instant."

"Yeah, the Li Family is probably finished this time."

"In the Li Family, only the Clan Chief and the Grand Elder are at the ninth layer of the Houtian Realm; dealing with one Xiantian Realm expert is already their limit."

"The skies over Qinghe Town are about to change."

But Li Changsheng neither dodged nor avoided them; he just lightly clapped his hands.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three figures descended from the sky, intercepting the two black-robed men.

It was Li Zhenshan, Grand Elder Li Qingsong, and...

The Zhao Clan Chief, Zhao Yuanlong!

"Zhao Yuanlong! You!"

Wang Ming Philosophy was both shocked and furious.

"Wang Mingzhe, you conspired with the Demonic Path; you deserve to die ten thousand deaths."

Zhao Yuanlong spoke with righteous indignation.

"Although my Zhao Family has a rift with the Li Family, in the face of righteousness, we must naturally join forces to eliminate demons!"

These words were spoken with grandiosity.

But anyone with eyes could see that the Zhao Family was just trimming their sails to the wind; after weighing the pros and cons, they had chosen the Li Family.

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Mingzhe gritted his teeth.

"Then die together!"

He personally struck out, charging toward Li Changsheng!

The Aura of the Minor Achievement Xiantian Realm fully erupted!

However, Li Changsheng just gave a faint smile.

He erupted with the same Aura: Minor Achievement Xiantian Realm!

Although their Realms were the same, how could the power of Li Changsheng's Spirit Ape Iron Casting Power be compared to that of an ordinary Xiantian Realm expert?

Seeing the Xiantian Realm Aura released by Li Changsheng, although Wang Mingzhe had been mentally prepared, he was still quite shocked to see it in person.

"Reaching the Xiantian Realm at seventeen... why isn't he a disciple of my Wang Family!"

Wang Mingzhe's emotions were complex, a mix of anger, resentment, and regret!

"Kid, you've only just luckily broken through to the Xiantian Realm. What ability do you have to dare fight me?"

"Cut the crap. Killing you is enough."

"What boastful words!"

The two instantly clashed!

"Li Changsheng really did break through to the Xiantian Realm!"

"Isn't this too fast?"

"Yeah, half a year ago, he was at the fourth layer of the Houtian Realm, just like me."

"I'm only at the fifth layer of the Houtian Realm now and thought I was doing pretty well. Looking at others, comparisons really are odious."

Wang Mingzhe's palms flew, determined to strike Li Changsheng dead under his hands.

Under Wang Mingzhe's palms, Li Changsheng was like someone taking a leisurely stroll, handling it with ease.

"They're fighting!"

"Li Changsheng seems to have the upper hand."

"It seems he hasn't even used his full strength yet."

"Clan Chief Wang is an established Xiantian Realm expert, after all, with deep foundations."

"I don't think a winner will be decided within a hundred moves."

The fight was very fast; it started quickly and ended quickly too.

Just as everyone was still guessing how many rounds the fierce battle would last, it was over.

Ten moves!

Wang Minghao was sent flying by a single punch!

"Impossible!"

He couldn't stop coughing up blood.

"How long has it been since you broke through..."

"A frog at the bottom of a well."}],
