The Great Demon Xuansha

Chapter 06: The Great Demon Xuansha

Translator: Krukist

While waiting for Ling Fei Wu to complete her breakthrough, Wang Feng wasn't idle. He silently commanded, "System, spend 1,000 sect points for a lottery draw!"

Earlier, Ling Fei Wu had slain Lin Yunyi and his six subordinates, earning Wang Feng 1,200 sect points. After using 100 points to investigate Li Qing's talent, he was left with exactly 1,100—just enough for a lottery draw.

At this stage, the Divine Immortal Sect was still in its infancy. Though they had Ye Gucheng, a peak Mystic Sovereign Realm expert, relying solely on him wasn't sustainable. Wang Feng hoped to draw something valuable—whether treasures or techniques—to strengthen both himself and the sect.

Just then, the system's voice hummed in his mind:

"Ding! Host has spent 1,000 sect points for a lottery draw. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a random summoning opportunity!"

Wang Feng was momentarily stunned before joy spread across his face. He had gotten lucky—a summoning opportunity! Without hesitation, he instructed, "System, use the summoning opportunity!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for summoning the Sword God—Ximen Chuixue. Would you like to view Ximen Chuixue's attribute panel?"

"View it!"

Hearing the system's voice, Wang Feng's body trembled with excitement. He hadn't expected to summon Ximen Chuixue, the lifelong rival of Ye Gucheng. If Ye Gucheng was the Sword Immortal, then Ximen Chuixue was the Sword God. Both were devoted to the way of the sword, reaching a state where their hearts were one with their blades.

If not for the limitations of their past martial world, their sword talent would have far surpassed their previous achievements. But now, in a cultivation world, where their potential could fully unfold, Wang Feng was eager to see how far they could go.

Just then, the system's voice notified him:

"Ding! Ximen Chuixue's attribute panel is as follows—

Name: Ximen Chuixue

Cultivation: Mid Mystic Sovereign Realm

Technique: Radiant Sword Dao (Peak Emperor-grade)

Weapon: Black Sheath (Peak Emperor-grade)

Seeing this, Wang Feng was slightly surprised. In his view, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng had been evenly matched, with Ye Gucheng even slightly stronger. After all, during their duel at the Forbidden City, Ye Gucheng's "Sword Immortal's Heavenly Strike" could have killed Ximen Chuixue.

Ye Gucheng had ultimately died at Ximen Chuixue's hands only because he had already resolved to die, entrusting his sword's honor to Ximen Chuixue, thus creating the legendary tale of the Sword God defeating the Sword Immortal under the full moon.

Still puzzled, Wang Feng asked, "System, shouldn't Ye Gucheng be stronger than Ximen Chuixue?"

The system's voice hummed again:

"Ding! The Ximen Chuixue summoned this time is the one who truly mastered the sword path after the duel at the Forbidden City."

"After that battle, Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship reached an entirely new level. He has achieved a state where his heart is devoid of the sword—his very existence is the sword. As long as he exists, everything in the world can become a sword. He has comprehended the true essence of the sword path, reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

Hearing this explanation, Wang Feng suddenly understood. So that's why…

Not bad, not bad. Now, the Divine Immortal Sect had yet another Mystic Sovereign Realm powerhouse!

Wang Feng nodded in satisfaction. Within the Radiant Sun Empire, Mystic Sovereign Realm experts were among the strongest existences. Aside from the imperial family, such experts were incredibly rare.

At that moment—

"Buzz!"

The dazzling spiritual energy phenomenon above the thatched cottage finally began to settle. A massive vortex of spiritual energy surged downward, pouring into the cottage. A moment later, a powerful aura spread outward—Ling Fei Wu had broken through to the Mystic General Realm!

Sensing this, Wang Feng nodded approvingly. From her aura alone, he could tell that Ling Fei Wu's foundation was incredibly solid.

Just then, the system's voice notified him again:

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Sect disciple Ling Fei Wu has broken through to the Mystic General Realm. Reward: 1,000 sect points!"

Not bad, not bad! This was a great deal!

The system's notification made Wang Feng's smile widen even more.

As he was still basking in excitement, Ye Gucheng brought Ling Fei Wu before him. At this moment, Ling Fei Wu's face was filled with gratitude and exhilaration. She stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said in a clear voice—

"Thank you, Sect Master, for granting Fei Wu this opportunity!"

Without Wang Feng, without Ye Gucheng, and without the Divine Immortal Sect, she would have already been dead. How could she have broken through to the Mystic General Realm otherwise? At this moment, Ling Fei Wu had completely accepted the Divine Immortal Sect as her new home.

She had once thought her heart had died along with the destruction of the Ling Family. But the Divine Immortal Sect, the Sect Master, and Elder Ye had rekindled the fire within her—filling her with hope for the future.

Wang Feng nodded with satisfaction. "Stay close to Elder Ye. In the future, I hope you can bring glory to the name of the Divine Immortal Sect."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Then, Wang Feng turned to Ye Gucheng and said meaningfully, "Gucheng, an old friend of yours will be arriving soon."

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng's usually indifferent eyes flickered. The sword in his hand trembled slightly, and an unmistakable battle intent surged within him.

Just then—

"Tsk tsk… I thought there was only one Mystic General Realm meal here, but it seems there are also a few ants. They'll make for a decent snack."

A sinister and arrogant voice echoed through the valley.

Wang Feng frowned and turned to look in the direction of the voice. Ye Gucheng, standing beside him, tightened his grip on his sword.

Under their watchful gaze, a burly man in a blood-red robe appeared above the valley. His presence alone exuded an overwhelming aura. Though he did not display a shred of cultivation power, Wang Feng instinctively felt an immense pressure—as if this man's strength could crush him in an instant.

His heart tensed.

"System, investigate this person!"

"Ding! Investigating only their cultivation level costs 10 sect points. Investigating their full background costs 100 sect points."

The system's voice notified him, but Wang Feng didn't hesitate. "Spend 100 sect points to investigate their complete background!"

As the saying goes—"Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will never be defeated."

This man's overwhelming presence made Wang Feng cautious. He even suspected that Ye Gucheng might not be able to defeat him.

A moment later, the system's voice notified him:

"Ding! This person is the Great Demon Xuan Sha, a fearsome figure who terrorized the Radiant Sun Empire a thousand years ago. His cultivation reached the peak Mystic Sovereign Realm. However, a thousand years ago, he was defeated by the Radiant Sun Emperor and sealed away. He has just now broken free from his seal. His current cultivation is at the peak Mystic Sovereign Realm."

Hearing this, Wang Feng broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected to encounter such a terrifying existence out of nowhere. Fortunately, this demon wasn't at his peak. Otherwise, even Ximen Chuixue might not be able to handle him. A peak Mystic Sovereign Realm expert was truly at the top of the pyramid in the Radiant Sun Empire.

But now, although Wang Feng was a bit nervous, he wasn't panicked. While a peak Mystic Sovereign Realm expert was powerful, Ye Gucheng by his side could hold his own. With the imminent arrival of Ximen Chuixue, suppressing this demon would be more than enough. Wang Feng loved the idea of beating a drowning dog.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on the Divine Immortal Sect? Leave at once! Otherwise, Elder Ye of the Divine Immortal Sect will make sure you die without a burial!"

At this moment, Li Qing, standing behind Wang Feng, suddenly stepped forward and shouted at the Great Demon Xuan Sha. At this moment, Li Qing was acting even more arrogantly than the demon himself.

He had no idea how powerful the Great Demon Xuan Sha was. In his eyes, since Ye Gucheng had easily killed the seven terrifying experts earlier, this person shouldn't be a problem either. Naturally, this was his chance to shine.

After all, he was the senior disciple of the Divine Immortal Sect. He couldn't let his junior sister steal all the spotlight. Even though he was still just a mortal, he was quite good at shouting insults.

However, what Li Qing didn't know was that after his words, even Wang Feng, the sect master, was stunned. Wang Feng looked at Li Qing in disbelief. This was the first time he realized that the first disciple he had accepted had such courage—to curse at a peak Mystic Sovereign Realm expert as a mere mortal.

Even Ye Gucheng showed a rare look of surprise, glancing at Li Qing.

Feeling the gazes of Wang Feng and Ye Gucheng, Li Qing became even more pleased with himself. In his eyes, this was the sect master and Elder Ye acknowledging him. He got even more fired up and shouted again, "You insignificant ant, daring to cause trouble at the Divine Immortal Sect? You have no idea what death is! Kneel and accept your fate!"

To be fair, although Li Qing was just a mortal, the momentum he displayed at this moment was quite impressive.

"Senior Brother, this person's aura is no weaker than Master's!" Ling Fei Wu couldn't stand it anymore and gently tugged at Li Qing's sleeve, whispering.

Having just reached the Mystic General Realm, Ling Fei Wu might not be able to accurately gauge the Great Demon Xuan Sha's power, but she could make a rough comparison. She could sense that this person was likely on par with her master.

If her master was a peak Mystic Sovereign Realm expert, then this person was at least at the Mystic Sovereign Realm, if not at the peak. Ling Fei Wu could feel that after this person appeared, her master, Ye Gucheng, exuded a different aura—one that only appeared when facing a formidable opponent.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Li Qing was confused, turning his head and asking in a low voice.

"It means this person's cultivation is at least at the Mystic Sovereign Realm, possibly even at the peak like Master."

Hearing Ling Fei Wu's words, Li Qing's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. If not for Ling Fei Wu holding him up, he might have already knelt. Oh my god, he had just cursed at someone who was at least at the Mystic Sovereign Realm?

"Tsk tsk, Divine Immortal Sect? What backwater sect is this? I've never heard of it. But you, little ant, are quite interesting. Although you're just an ant, your courage is commendable. You're worth savoring
