Chapter 562: Chapter 286: Tier Three Great Demon
Half a month later.
In the sky above Celestial Spring Peak, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy suddenly surged.
This instantly alarmed many people, especially the cultivators residing on Celestial Spring Peak, who were all shocked and looked up in surprise.
At the same time, spiritual light soared around Celestial Spring Peak, and a powerful barrier appeared, clearly showing the Mountain Protection Array was fully activated.
"This is a Core Formation celestial phenomenon!"
"This is no ordinary Core Formation, it’s a Demon Evil Core Formation!" Within the crowd, Zhou Bingxuan exclaimed in shock.
"Demon Evil!?"
Many cultivators here gazed in astonishment at this new junior sister.
And as Zhou Bingxuan looked at this terrifying celestial phenomenon, she nervously swallowed and explained:
"My Zhou Family has long been in the company of spirit beasts. When a spirit beast forms its core, the celestial phenomenon is different from ordinary cultivators; there will be an aura of demon evil."
"Could it be Elder Lin..."
Many cultivators seemed to realize something, and they couldn’t help but exclaim.
However, at that moment, a sword servant walked out of the cave mansion, stood on his sword, and shouted coldly:
"Hear the order, cultivators of Celestial Spring Peak: the mountain protection battle has begun. No one is to act recklessly; anyone daring to leave the peak, ascend the peak, or damage the array will be killed!"
A fierce killing intent soared to the sky; to a Core Formation cultivator like Lin Chang’an, Foundation Establishment cultivation was nothing.
But to the group of Qi Refining cultivators below, the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation of the sword servant was an absolutely unshakable peak.
The sword servant’s cold shout made countless cultivators below, although shocked, eventually feel a sense of joy after their initial surprise.
Sharing honor and disgrace together!
"Core Formation!"
Shen Zhuang and Li Tianmo were shocked in expression but had turbulent thoughts in their hearts.
While they were still arduously cultivating and pursuing Foundation Establishment, it turned out that their great uncle’s spirit pet mount was preparing for Core Formation.
And the clever Zhou Bingxuan thought even more. Elder Lin was a Tier Three Array Master, and his successful Pill Formation significantly boosted his status.
Having the resources and ability to assist his spirit pet in forming its core,
is not uncommon in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
...
And within the pavilion, even though it was outside the array barrier, the sword servant deliberately used a spell to transmit sound without affecting the cave mansion here.
But when Fairy Ni Chang saw the sword servant, she uncharacteristically showed a hint of surprise.
"To think, Mr. Lin, that your maid actually has such talent in the Sword Dao."
The sword servant, exhibiting the pressure of Foundation Establishment cultivation, could be seen through at a glance by a Core Formation cultivator.
The sword intent was awe-inspiring. At this level of cultivation and age, having such sword intent was definitely an extraordinary talent.
After hearing this, Lin Chang’an nonchalantly smiled and nodded:
"This girl has some talent."
As he spoke, there was a clear hint of satisfaction on Lin Chang’an’s face.
The more you try to hide certain things, the more it may arouse suspicion from some.
It’s better to openly showcase the sword servant, making others only think he has a maid with exceptional talent in the Sword Dao.
As for the Celestial Spirit Sword Body?
It’s comparable to the Celestial Spirit Root, one of the three great Sword Cultivation Spirit Bodies.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, talented cultivators are numerous, but top-level spirit bodies and Celestial Spirit Roots are very rare.
Therefore, more people would rather believe in the talent than believe such a legendary spirit body would serve as a maid.
As for the sword servant’s appearance, Lin Chang’an remained calm.
Back in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, this girl’s aura was completely different from now.
Plus, after switching to cultivate the Evil Essence Sword Formulas, her momentum was entirely different from before.
With the enhancement of aura, who could associate the once numb and deathly grey girl with the current gallant, cool, and aloof girl?
Even if they stood together, they would think they merely looked somewhat similar but would never believe they were the same person.
"A Human-Demon Mixed Blood descendant, even if Fatty Lei knew, he wouldn’t want to believe it."
Lin Chang’an shook his head and noted that as a Human-Demon Mixed Blood, the sword servant’s lifespan was longer than ordinary human cultivators, making her still appear as a young girl.
"Master!"
When the sword servant returned, she respectfully cupped her hands before standing behind him.
This respect was not just due to the difference in realms.
Seeing this, Fairy Ni Chang’s eyes rippled slightly. Such talent, if she were within the sect, would be an invaluable genius.
It’s a pity she’s not one of her disciples, or else she would have considered taking her as a direct disciple.
"It seems no one should disturb us this time."
With the celestial phenomenon of Core Formation, there wasn’t much commotion around, which made Lin Chang’an understand that Fairy Ni Chang probably had informed not only the three major forces before.
Fairy Ni Chang, being wise, naturally knew what Lin Chang’an was implying and lightly laughed, shaking her head:
"Mr. Lin, you’re too kind. We should thank the Four Seas Commerce Association more, after all, almost all the Core Formation families with renowned names have trading relations with the Four Seas Commerce Association."
After hearing this, Lin Chang’an smiled silently. Indeed, facing external pressure led to internal unity.
This time he truly was making a fuss over nothing, but being cautious is never wrong.
"Mr. Lin, it seems your spirit pet’s Core Formation will still take some time. How about you and I play a game of chess?"
"Chess!?"
After hearing this, Lin Chang’an’s expression briefly showed awkwardness, and this moment did not escape Fairy Ni Chang’s observation. She couldn’t help but reveal a mischievous smile.
"Indeed, as your spirit pet forms its core, I suppose you’re not in the mood for discussing Dao; playing chess is also a practice for the mind."
Staying focused amidst external distractions greatly benefits future cultivation.
"Alright."
Lin Chang’an lightly nodded. Though not very skilled in chess, he didn’t believe the other party was exceptionally proficient either.
Hearing this, the sword servant respectfully fetched a chessboard from the cave mansion.
Thus, with the celestial phenomenon of Core Formation churning in the sky, within the pavilion, Lin Chang’an and Fairy Ni Chang held black and white pieces and played a game of chess.
