Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 455: Chapter 230: Venerable! In Broad Daylight, Human Xiao Appears Again_2

”Primordial Spirit Phenomenon!?”

Lin Jianyue’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She was well-informed and knew that the primordial spirit of an ordinary cultivator was identical to their own form, merely three feet tall.

However, for those with profound cultivation and extraordinary creation, a phenomenon must arise within their primordial spirit, different and remarkable, capable of crushing side paths.

Just like herself, within her primordial spirit, there was a bright moon accompanying it, pure and saintly.

Hua Yanqiu was a disciple of the White Crane Temple, naturally awakened with divine techniques, her primordial spirit refined a hundred times, making her extraordinary by nature.

”I’m giving you one more chance, don’t refuse the toast only to drink punishment wine!” Hua Yanqiu’s voice suddenly echoed in the minds of Zhang Fan and Lin Jianyue.

The strong wind converged, invisible and mighty.

”I thought you were something extraordinary, but with such a petty path, you dare to boast in front of me? Absolutely ridiculous.”

At this moment, Zhang Fan sneered coldly, suddenly smacked his forehead, and three feet above, his primordial spirit emerged.

Rumble...

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to plunge into darkness, the eyes were bewildering and obscure.

A terrifying primordial spirit rose up to the sky, dim and indescribable, as if hidden in the great black cosmos, only boundless light emanated around it.

”This is...”

Lin Jianyue’s pretty face trembled violently, looking incredulously at Zhang Fan’s primordial spirit.

”Primordial Divine Light... You... You’re at the Mahasattva Realm!?”

At this moment, Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit couldn’t help but roar in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

In the files she received, it only mentioned Zhang Fan was suspected of being at a high skill level.

Even at a high skill level, she had enough confidence and strength to suppress.

However, a Mahasattva was different. A gap in one realm was like a world apart.

Such an expert, with primordial divine light, ascends to the heavens, repels ten thousand evils, and remains unscathed by demons, already a legendary figure.

”You... How can you be a Mahasattva... How can you be a Mahasattva...” Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit kept roaring, seemingly unable to accept this reality.

She was the pride of the White Crane Temple, naturally awakened with divine techniques, such fortune and mystery, had not yet comprehended the mysteries of the Mahasattva Realm, nor produced that innate primordial light within her primordial spirit.

Based on what could this obscure figure far from the mountain gate, amidst the red dust, reach such a realm!?

”A mere high skill dare to flaunt yourself before me? Let me see, if I don’t go with you today, what can you do?”

With just a cold snort from Zhang Fan’s primordial spirit, a ripple of primordial light emanated from his body, slowly spreading.

Rumble...

Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit seemed to face annihilation, the fierce wind shook, tearing in inches, the destructive wave shattered that formless Miao Fa, directly bombarding into her primordial spirit.

Instantly, Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit dimmed violently, her aura weakened by more than half.

”This is the realm of a Mahasattva!?”

Lin Jianyue’s pretty face showed a deep look of solemnity.

Just the residual power emitted was enough to extinguish Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit phenomenon, leaving her in a life-and-death dilemma, this kind of fall would require at least three years of hard work to recover from.

Such a delay, she would likely never comprehend the Mahasattva Realm in her lifetime.

”You’ve destroyed my cultivation...”

Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit was listless, looking at Zhang Fan with horror, her eyes filled with shock and anguish.

She hadn’t anticipated the depth of Zhang Fan’s realm, nor had she thought Zhang Fan’s methods would be so ruthless, completely disregarding her background and identity.

”You have a background, I don’t? Fool...” Zhang Fan seemed to see through her thoughts, sneering coldly.

Respect for the revered, lack of respect for the higher, was considered a grave sin.

The mere high skill dared to flaunt itself before a Mahasattva, if not for the Daoist Alliance Headquarters’ background, in ordinary magical combat, there would be no escape but death.

Some people wield a chicken feather as a token of authority, thinking everyone’s afraid, becoming arrogant and conceited.

Unaware, beneath that facade, plenty out there could deal with them.

Though Hua Yanqiu was a member of the investigation group sent from above, and here was a public place.

Zhang Fan couldn’t genuinely kill, but such punishment was necessary; otherwise, no one would take him seriously, everyone assuming he was someone to be easily manipulated.

”You’ve destroyed my cultivation...” Hua Yanqiu muttered, her eyes vacant, as if she hadn’t heard Zhang Fan’s words.

For cultivators, seeking longevity, especially ones like her—a proud daughter of the heavens, painstakingly practicing since young—naturally sought to comprehend the supreme realm and climb to its peak.

Just like learning, if one is a poor student, passing is satisfactory.

But the better the grades, the more one wants to advance, even aiming for the first in school, the city, the province, and the nation.

In Hua Yanqiu’s eyes, in the wave of the new era, there had to be a place for her.

But now, all was lost.

With the current state of her primordial spirit, if not properly nourished, not to mention further advancement, she might even suffer regression in cultivation, falling from high skill level, unable to control the True Yang within, liquefying back to gas.

Such a situation results in ten years of hard work being wiped out.

”Heart-penetrating as it is ruthless.”

Lin Jianyue looked at Zhang Fan and couldn’t help but sigh, a hint of wariness in her eyes.

For cultivators, Zhang Fan’s trick was indeed more ruthless than taking a life.

Compared to when he was at the Imprisoned Immortal Temple, the current Zhang Fan seemed reborn, as if a different person.

His cultivation progressed remarkably fast, and his methods were decidedly sharper and more ruthless, unlike the previous weak and bewildered self.

”If he truly achieves divine fusion, what would that entail!?”

At this moment, an unusual thought arose in Lin Jianyue’s heart.

Now, though Zhang Fan’s primordial spirit wasn’t complete, he had stepped into the Mahasattva Realm. If he merged with Zhao Jie Xuan’s primordial spirit, fusing with the evil gods, thus completing himself, what a scene it would be.

The Divine Demon Holy Embryo, one in two creations, already unprecedented.

The Great Night has awakened to be retrained and yet entered the Mahasattva Realm—isn’t it incredible?

If divine fusion succeeds, unmatched in heaven and earth.

”What kind of monster is he!?” Lin Jianyue stared blankly at Zhang Fan, her heart filled with confusion.

”Zhang Fan... Fine, I will remember you...”

At this moment, Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit uttered a voice full of resentment, coldly staring at Zhang Fan as if to remember him forever.

”The gift of today, I will never dare forget.”

Hua Yanqiu’s primordial spirit gritted her teeth, word by word, seemingly from the heart.

Then, her primordial spirit fluttered and was about to return to her body acupoints.

Rumble...

Suddenly, from the sky came a dull sound, and the originally dark world became ever more somber.

”Hmm!?”

Zhang Fan’s primordial spirit raised an eyebrow, instinctively looking up.

At this moment, a fog surged wildly, seemingly materializing from the void, instinctive shaping, filling the four-dimensional eight directions, all around seemed frozen.

Fallen leaves withered, flowers blossomed and faded.

The fragrance from the soil spread again, like spring turning to autumn, winter ending with birth.

Life and death cycle, endlessly repeating, as if all were illuminated in the moment the fog appeared.

”Primordial Spirit Outer Scenery!?” Zhang Fan’s primordial spirit awoke sharply.

Rumble...

The next moment, a withered arm stretched out from the vast fog, terrifying aura overwhelming the sky, disturbing the heart and mind.

”Human... Human Xiao... It’s Human Xiao...”

Seeing that withered arm, Lin Jianyue’s face lost color, a figure seemed to roar crazily in her heart.

She had never seen the true Human Xiao, but on the day of the Thirteen Zodiacs’ gathering, she had seen the projection of Human Xiao’s primordial spirit.

This aura was unique; she was too familiar with it.

Before them, this sudden primordial spirit was Human Xiao.

Broad daylight, he actually blatantly appeared in Yujing City, right before them.

”Who... Who are you?”

At this moment, Hua Yanqiu grew infinitely fearful, screaming in shock.

However, in the vast fog, there was no response. The shriveled, terrifying hand moved like it owned the space, directly blocking Hua Yanqiu’s path back to her body, snatching her primordial spirit, and dragging it into the fog.

Crack... Crack...

At this moment, a terrifying chewing sound came from within the fog, unsettling the heart.
