Chapter 171: Chapter 45: Sword Intention manifests and shocks all the demons; Phoenix learns about the death news; confrontation with the old demon 2
Now, the power of the ginseng fruit swiftly replenished him.
The spiritual veins appeared golden, shining brightly, as if coated with a layer of gold.
At the same time, the destiny of the [Thousand-Mile Lone Rider] came into play again, causing his momentum to escalate continuously.
During the previous slaughter of the devil cultivators, his strength had already reached the level of the Golden Core.
Now it had surged even further, maintaining itself at the Middle Golden Core Stage.

Under the dual blessings of the ginseng fruit and destiny, Zhao Huai’s strength became even more formidable.
Especially the power of the ginseng fruit, which caused his previously stagnant cultivation to loosen.
This time, it was his Qi Sea that began to transform.
From Qi-Refining Realm’s Qi Sea transforming from a pond to a lake, then a lake to a sea, it developed into the magic power in the mind at the Initiation
Stage.
Now it had transformed into a golden Qi Sea.
The third turn of the Forming Core!
Zhao Huai’s strength increased once more, and if he were to break through to the Golden Core now, he would be at the peak of the lower-grade Golden Core.
However, he intended to push forward, to see where his limits lay.
People can never be satisfied.
Above the third turn, one could be called a mighty cultivator, and above the sixth turn, a genius.
At the eighth turn, one could surpass all cultivators.
When his consciousness was inside the substitute body, he had no power to fight back against the old devil.
All along, Zhao Huai had thought he was cautious enough.
He had always been the one to steal from others.
He had never met an old devil of the Metamorphosis Stage who shamelessly intruded into someone else’s place, utterly disregarding martial virtue!
It was like a greenhorn just getting started with a game, only to encounter the final boss rampaging in the beginner village.
Who could understand this feeling?
The only consolation for Zhao Huai now was that his sword skill realm had taken another big step forward.
Relying on the destiny of [Sword Skill Genius], his natural talent in swordsmanship was self-evident.
He successfully manifested his sword Intent and executed Form Four: Facing Heaven.
Based on the strength of his power, he ranked the sword techniques he had
Form One: Sun Gazing, Form Two: Suppressing Dragon.
Form Three: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect, Form Four: Facing Heaven.
Practice was practice, and actual combat was actual combat.
As long as he could successfully turn theoretical knowledge into reality, that was progress.
Each time he drew his sword, Zhao Huai had new insights.
The reason he didn’t have any flashy sword moves was because he believed that to kill someone, one sword was enough.
If not, then two swords.
Jinzhou City, deep within the alley.
An old man in a purple robe hid in the shadows, his eyes revealing a sharp glint. However, despite his Divine Insight searching for a long time, he didn’t find the person he was looking for.
This elder was none other than the old fiend of the Netherworld.
Since killing “Zhao Huai,” he had been searching for the person with great flowing qi.
Because the old fiend found out that the white-clothed man he caught was nothing but a decoy.
When he tried to invade the other party’s Qi Sea, the other party did not resist and instead died directly!
After death, not the slightest trace of destiny could be found.
Such a bland death couldn’t be the person he was truly looking for.
He had been deceived by a sophisticated illusion!
He almost instantly realized this and started searching frantically.
He was experienced and had control over some ancient secret techniques, allowing him to spot cultivators different from ordinary people.
As long as they possessed great flowing qi and could be traced, he could slowly track them down.
But now, having searched for half a day, he still hadn’t found anything.
It was as if their flowing qi had been concealed.
That’s why he was in such a bad mood.
All of a sudden, the old fiend’s body trembled abruptly, chuckling sinisterly:
“Hehe, how strange. This flowing qi is different from the person I found before.
What’s the reason for this?”
“No matter, as long as they meet my requirements, anyone will do!” In the blink of an eye, the old fiend disappeared from the spot.
At this time,
A line of Silver Armored Army troops slowly filed out from the military compound, well-equipped and strong.
Yu Qinghan rode a fiery horse, with Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu protecting her on both sides.
She looked at the dark, blood-stained sky, her eyebrows furrowing involuntarily.
“What is this?”
“Amitabha, it’s the aura of a devil cultivator.”
Monk Fu Hu also looked towards the sky, his plump face quivering a bit.
Just having descended the mountain and already encountering a devil cultivator, he felt that this was somewhat unusual.
“A devil cultivator? A devil cultivator has entered Jinzhou City, treating the Immortal Sect as if it doesn’t exist.”
Yu Qinghan coldly said.
“Danger.”
Cang Long’s usually deadpan face showed a rare look of concern.
Apparently, he had discovered something.
“This place has been sealed off by someone, so the Immortal Sect’s gatekeeper cannot detect it.”
After hearing this, Monk Fu Hu’s round body actually floated up and stood on top of a building’s eaves.
“Only those above the Metamorphosis Stage can grasp the secrets of the world and seal off spiritual qi.”
He muttered, feeling that something was not right.
Before the abbot left the mountain, he had instructed that with the mortal world in chaos, they must ensure the safety and stability of Xia Country so the Buddhist sect could flourish and endure.
The safety of the Xia’s Royal Family became the top priority.
And the woman before them was the Princess of Xia, the First Emperor’s
Daughter.
They had heard of her deeds three years ago.
After discussing it at the Little Lingyin Temple, she was the person with the most hope and the only one who could stabilize Xia Country.
That’s why they had to guarantee her safety.
“May the Buddha bless us!”
Monk Fu Hu recited a Buddhist mantra and closed his eyes to pray.
This time, even his Immaculate Buddha Eye couldn’t see what would happen in the future.
There are different categories within Buddhism: past, present, and future.
Representing the past is the past-life Buddha, Burning Lamp Buddha.
Now is the present-life Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, also known as Tathagata.
The one who can glimpse the future is Maitreya Buddha..
