Chapter 296: Chapter 116: Bear Demon Sword Divides into Nine, Shackles of Flesh and Blood Shattered
Although her status was merely that of a concubine to the fallen genius "Divine Martial Monarch," Wei Yao had long since distanced herself from him at Li Xuan’s behest.
Now, as her status rose, male cultivators from the Five Peaks began to extend olive branches to her, hoping to dual cultivate with her.
Wei Yao naturally refused in the name of cultivation.
"Yaoyao, how much do you know about the Six Alliances of Lishan?
Why are they willing to sell Curse Gold?
As the primary material for flying swords, its importance directly relates to the Sect’s strength." Li Xuan posed the question.
Honestly, he knew nothing about the Six Alliances of Lishan.
This situation made him very uncomfortable.
The sects of the northern lands were like a cloud of mist.
Especially when that mist began to approach frequently, he felt even more uneasy.
Wei Yao shook her head and said, "Do you want me to investigate?"
Li Xuan thought for a while and transmitted through incense, "No need to investigate. In May, you should return to Great Yin to visit family."
Wei Yao: ???
Li Xuan said, "The map could reveal something unexpected. Since May is when the last batch of Curse Gold is delivered, you should return to Great Yin to avoid any incidents. I’m worried something unforeseen might happen."
When something abnormal occurs, it must be due to some malevolence.
Wei Yao was astonished and said, "It shouldn’t be that serious, the Sect is thriving now. Besides, as a fellow sect, Lingyi Sect is quite strong."
Li Xuan felt a hint of hesitation, wondering if he was being too cautious.
However, in the next moment, Wei Yao still nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll go back then."
The simple conversation concluded.
In his mind, Li Xuan conjured up the map of Bronze Plain.
He had already explored most of it.
He glanced at the current panel.
[Li Xuan]
[Lifespan: 27/220]
[Realm: Third Realm]
[Demon Points: 202]
[Strength: 328/328]
[Agility: 342/342]
[Constitution: 326+60/326]
[Spirit: 324+14/324]
’It’s time to add more points.’
Since entering the Bronze Plain, Li Xuan had collected a total of 596 Demon Points, adding to the original 6 points, totaling 602 points.
He had already experimentally invested 400 points, which provided him with 200 breakthroughs, distributed randomly, enhancing Strength by 48, Agility by 62, Constitution by 46, and Spirit by 44.
Today, Senior Sister Feng was in a deep sleep.
The intense mental stimulation, while extremely pleasurable, also consumed a great deal of her energy, causing her to sleep soundly every night.
Thus, Li Xuan had the opportunity to venture out.
Today... he had decided to stop circling around and intended to explore the Valley of the Dead.
Therefore, today he decided to use up the remaining 202 points and see which attribute had the highest composite score to see if he could advance his realm or achieve some breakthrough.
He swiftly utilized the 202 Demon Points.
Soon, the points were exhausted, resulting in 101 breakthroughs.
This time, the enhancements were:
Strength 26, Agility 19, Constitution 24, Spirit 31.
The total attribute changes were:
[Strength: 354/354]
[Agility: 361/361]
[Constitution: 350+60/350]
[Spirit: 355+14/355]
Li Xuan calculated that including the demon blood, Constitution was still the highest.
So, he injected [Black Mountain Tuo] and [Ordinary Rhino Essence] one by one into the bloodline.
He first injected [Ordinary Rhino Essence], raising his Constitution to 440.
Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sensation, as if... he was on the verge of some transformation?
Suppressing his excitement, Li Xuan quickly injected [Black Mountain Tuo].
Instantly, his Constitution reached 520.
Boom!
Violent blood energy intertwined, enveloping his entire body.
The accumulated blood felt like a series of restless volcanoes, and the long-active magma finally met its opportunity.
The hard, dark soil cracked open, and every crevice started to produce glaring gold-red patterns, like feathers, like webs, like deep grooves.
Whoosh!
A wave of fire poison spread.
The Bronze Grass around Li Xuan turned to ash in an instant.
The Purple Ice Copper clothes he had carefully placed far away melted away in a blink, rising as a wisp of cold air to the heavens.
This happened so fast that even Li Xuan didn’t notice.
But before he could react, every inch of his body began to feel an indescribable intense stimulation.
Every pore, every inch of flesh turned into erupting volcanoes.
The essence of his flesh and the essence of fire poison exploded and rampaged within him.
Li Xuan could feel that if his former self had borne this power, disintegration would have been the only outcome.
But with a Constitution of 520, he could completely withstand this power.
He walked forward, wanting to get further away from where Senior Sister Feng slept.
Yet, wherever he passed, was all scorched earth.
The exaggerated stimulation transmitted through every part of him, making him feel more and more comfortable.
So comfortable it was as if a certain shackle had been removed.
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded from the sky.
Li Xuan was momentarily stunned.
Could this be a tribulation?
However, before his wild thoughts settled, the sky quickly unraveled into a medley of lightning and thunder.
Yet the lightning didn’t strike him but instead targeted some unknown location in the distance.
Li Xuan suddenly realized...
This is because... the air was humid, and the temperature rose, causing the lightning to form?
In a way, this also indicated that his current body heat was already starting to affect the environment.
He stood on the scorched earth.
Feeling that every inch of his flesh was pulsating wildly, breaking free from its shackles.
It took a whole stick of incense’s time before it finally calmed down.
Li Xuan looked at his stark-naked self and couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.
’This time, I fear I’ll need to find numerous ways to get back home.’
The Purple Ice Copper could at least be made into clothes.
But Curse Gold... even if made into clothes to temporarily suppress the fire poison within, it would be impossible to return home.
Sister Yuan and the Little Princess, even Xiaojing and Xiaojin, couldn’t resist the power emitted by Curse Gold.
He clenched his fists, feeling the power at this moment.
Suddenly, his expression shifted from helplessness to a kind of joy, and then to ecstasy.
