  Xiang Shaoyun's current cultivation level of fourth-stage Astral Realm started growing as well. After an unknown amount of time, he was finally done with the presence of the dragon and tiger, having fully assimilated them into his presence of a king.

  At the same time, a saber technique suddenly appeared in his mind. So did the image of a figure wielding a saber. The figure brandished the saber repeatedly, and each slash of the saber contained the power to destroy the world. This was an extremely terrifying saber technique.

  Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique!

  One slash like a lightning strike from the clear sky!

  One slash causing the weather to change.

  One slash to create rivers of corpses.

  One slash to eliminate all corpses.

  One slash to spread mountains and rivers.

  One slash to destroy the heavens and earth.

  One slash to obliterate the stars.

  One slash to shift the sun and moon.

  One slash to reverse the universe.

  This was the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, and it seemed to have the same origin as the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual. In fact, he was stupefied when he noticed the similarity in the aura of the two.

  After a long while, Xiang Shaoyun finally recovered from his reverie.

  "Does the Overlord Skyslaying Saber have the same origin as my overlord cultivation manual? And there’s also this Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique, everything is such a coincidence," Xiang Shaoyun cried out in alarm.

  When he first saw the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, he did not relate it with his overlord cultivation manual. He thought that the similar names were merely a coincidence. But now, it seemed like the Overlord Skyslaying Saber did have the same origin as his overlord cultivation manual.

  Perhaps this saber was also something that that overlord had left behind and had for some unknown reason fallen into the hands of that unnamed cultivator. Now that this saber had fallen into Xiang Shaoyun's hands, it signified that he was already fated to become the new overlord of this generation.

  Unfortunately, this Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique was also incomplete. Only the first four stances were complete, and only the names of the latter five stances were available. As with the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, this was an incomplete technique.

  But even these four stances were all terrifyingly powerful. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to perfectly unleash the power of these four stances. He would only be able to start cultivating this technique upon reaching the King Realm when he could finally freely control astral energy.

  This put him back at the same position again—having many excellent battle techniques that he couldn't make use of.

  "Looks like I need to find a chance and revisit the place I found the overlord cultivation manual. Perhaps I can only obtain the complete overlord inheritance after entering the depths of that place," Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself.

  Holding the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual in his hand, he had a sensation that his flesh was now connected to the manual. At the same time, his presence surged out. The previously formless presence of a king seemed to have gained a form, with a dragon and tiger hovering behind him, making him look incomparably majestic.

  An overbearing aura spread out, one that demanded obeisance from all living beings. Xiang Shaoyun's presence of a king had grown greatly this time. In fact, his presence had grown over ten times stronger, and even when facing the suppression of a Transformation Realm cultivator, he could now completely ignore it. Not even a King Realm cultivator could hope to make him bow with presence alone anymore.

  This was a qualitative transformation that occurred after his presence gained a form from its previous formless state. There was probably no second fourth-stage Astral Realm cultivator in the entire Nine God Provinces with a presence as terrifying as Xiang Shaoyun’s.

  The stronger the presence, the stronger the owner would be.

  This was merely the start of Xiang Shaoyun's rise. He ended his seclusion, and when he went out of his room, he found Zi Changhe and Wang Zhenchuan waiting for him.

  Zi Changhe was here bearing news of an excellent cultivation spot.

  Chapter 94: This Is Too Much

  "Senior brother, you're here!" Xiang Shaoyun greeted Zi Changhe and Wang Zhenchuan warmly. When he saw Wang Zhenchuan, he knew Wang Zhenchuan had successfully passed Zi Changhe's test to officially become his disciple.

  "This disciple greets the martial uncle," Wang Zhenchuan stepped forth and saluted Xiang Shaoyun before Zi Changhe could even say anything.

  Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Hehe, what a fine martial nephew. I knew you could pass my senior brother's test."

  He could see that Wang Zhenchuan had already reached fourth-stage Astral Realm, reaching the level required by Zi Changhe. But he did not understand why Wang Zhenchuan was still at this level. After all, he had gifted Wang Zhenchuan some Earth Star Spring water as well. But no matter what, Wang Zhenchuan was now his martial nephew. He did not need to get too fixated on that issue.

  "Zhenchuan is really quite a fine young man. Be sure to take good care of him on my behalf in the future," Zi Changhe said with a gratified expression.

  "Don't worry. As his martial uncle, who would I take care of if not him?" Xiang Shaoyun slapped his chest and promised.

  "By the way, I heard from Elder Zhen Peng that you are looking for a cultivation spot where lightning congregates. Is that so?" Zi Changhe asked.

  Xiang Shaoyun nodded. "Yes. Do you know a place like that, senior brother?"

  Zi Changhe nodded. "Um. There is such a place in the Hundred Beast Mountain Range. But that is also the territory of the lightning condors. It won't be that easy to reach."

  "Where is it? I will go there immediately." Xiang Shaoyun was overjoyed.

  He had the lightning bone within his body, a bone unique to only the Xiang Clan. It was capable of creating innate lightning, and if he could find a spot where lightning congregated, he would definitely be able to further grow his lightning bone. That would help him greatly increase his combat power. That was why he was in such a rush to find a place where lightning gathered.

  "If it was in the past, I would definitely not tell you. It’s a place even Transformation Realm cultivators will be hard-pressed to survive. But with Elder Zhen Peng protecting you, I will tell you where it is. Also, I am going to bask in your glory and come along to cultivate there as well," Zi Changhe said. After a slight pause, he continued, "When are you leaving? I'll lead you there."

  "Let's rest up today and leave tomorrow," Xiang Shaoyun said.

  "Sure, I'll come look for you tomorrow," Zi Changhe said. He then left with Wang Zhenchuan, but after a few steps, he stopped and turned around. "My master might be visiting the Martial Hall Palace soon. Do you want to meet him?"

  "Oh? We'll see. If the timing is right, I naturally have to pay my senior brother's master a formal visit," Xiang Shaoyun answered after hesitating slightly.

  Xiang Shaoyun was very careful in his choice of words, using "senior brother's master" to make it clear that the senior brother's master was not his master. Zi Changhe was not a clueless child. Thus, he understood the implication behind the choice of words. A bitter smile formed on his face as he said, "Ok. Got it."

  Xiang Shaoyun had a mysterious origin, and even though Zi Changhe's master was a King Realm cultivator, Xiang Shaoyun might still not pay him much heed. His previous action of accepting a disciple on behalf of his master was now akin to a joke.

  After Zi Changhe left with Wang Zhenchuan, Xiang Shaoyun washed himself. When he looked at the pile of dirty laundry waiting to be washed, he smiled bitterly. "Looks like I need to get a maid to help with stuff like this."

  At this thought, Lu Xiaoqing and Gong Qinyin surfaced in his mind.

  "Lu Xiaoqing is quite suited to be a maid, but unfortunately, she is too stubborn. As for that crazy woman, hehe, it sure would be nic
e if I can turn her into my maid," Xiang Shaoyun mused.

  If the other disciples of Martial Hall Palace heard that, they would probably turn crazy from fury. Of the two, one was a youthful and pretty young lady while the other was their number one goddess. Now, they were mere maid candidates? That was unacceptable!

  Xiang Shaoyun left his residence and started looking for Xia Liuhui and Lu Xiaoqing, preparing to have a meal with them. But he found that Xia Liuhui was in a secluded cultivation session. Thus, he moved on to Lu Xiaoqing's place instead.

  But this time, Lu Xiaoqing did not come meet him alone. She brought Chen Xin along as well. Xiang Shaoyun did not mind having an additional beauty eating with him. Having an additional beauty would only make the experience even more pleasant.

  "Hey, so do you mind this beauty freeloading some food off you?" Chen Xin asked in a carefree manner.

  "You're most welcomed, big sister fairy. This is an honor most people wouldn't even have the chance to enjoy," Xiang Shaoyun laughed heartily.

  "Hmph. You sweet talker, are you not afraid that Junior Sister Lu will get jealous?" Chen Xin glared at him.

  "Who's going to be jealous?" Lu Xiaoqing argued bashfully.

  "Rather than wasting time being jealous, you should spend more time eating. Look at how skinny you got. You have been cultivating too hard recently. A woman can't be too skinny. You need to maintain your curves," Xiang Shaoyun said. He sensed Lu Xiaoqing's strength was growing rapidly. She was truly cultivating very hard. And because of that, he felt somewhat guilty. He could already imagine how much his eventual departure would break her heart.

  When Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the restaurant chatting happily with two great beauties, many disciples looked at him enviously. He brought them straight to the upper floor where only personal disciples could enter.

  The food and drinks served there were not something the lower floor could compare to. Apart from top-quality liquor, demonic beast meats were also served here. For a cultivator, demonic beast meats were a great replenishment of vitality.

  Xiang Shaoyun now had an immeasurable amount of points. Thus, he could freely order anything he wanted. Before long, the table was filled with delicacies and fine liquors.

  "Why did you order so much? Won't it be a waste if we can't finish?" Lu Xiaoqing asked, her heart aching at the thought of the price of the food here. She knew the food here could only be paid for using points, and every single point was extremely hard to get. She was feeling the pain on behalf of Xiang Shaoyun's wallet.

  "Yo, you're not even married to him yet. Why are you feeling all heartache for his money? What a fine young lady you are. That certain young man must be careful to not miss out on such a fine young lady," Chen Xin said, shooting Xiang Shaoyun a glance.

  "It won't be a waste. In fact, I'm not sure if this much food is even enough. Come, a toast to the two beauties. May your beauty last eternally," Xiang Shaoyun toasted the two beauties and acted as if he hadn’t heard Chen Xin's words.

  That toast worked beautifully to shift their attention.

  After a few drinks, Xiang Shaoyun shoved food down his throat without a care for the two beauties by his side. He was still in a phase of rapid growth. Thus, his capacity for food was extremely large. The two women smiled gently as they looked at him. The current Xiang Shaoyun looked very adorable to them.

  Suddenly, some less than tactful person walked over and berated, "Xin Xin, why are you eating with a coarse person like this? Come, join me instead."

  Chapter 95: You Are Challenging Me

  The one who spoke was none other than Ye Tianlong who held a prejudice against Xiang Shaoyun. The current Ye Tianlong was no longer a seventh-stage Astral Realm cultivator. He had entered the eighth stage. It was clear this was an advancement he gained after going out on a trip to temper himself.

  This time, he wasn't here just to create trouble for Xiang Shaoyun. Rather, he had always had a crush on Chen Xin. Unfortunately, his feeling was a one-sided one. Now that he saw Chen Xin having a meal with Xiang Shaoyun, he lost control in his fury.

  "Who on earth are you? I don't even know you," Chen Xin glanced at Ye Tianlong and said coldly.

  Ye Tianlong had called her name so affectionately only to be told she did not know him. This was akin to a slap on his face, and it felt horrible.

  "Xin Xin...are you really treating me like this?" Ye Tianlong said gloomily.

  "Please, I told you I don't know you. Can you stop calling me so affectionately? You're giving me goosebumps," Chen Xin said with disgust on her face.

  "Senior Brother Ye, she obviously doesn't care about you at all," said an underling of Ye Tianlong.

  That immediately infuriated Ye Tianlong, and Ye Tianlong directed his anger at Xiang Shaoyun, who was busy eating. He said, "You! Come here! I am challenging you to a duel!"

  Xiang Shaoyun ignored him and continued eating.

  "Are you sick? Who are you to challenge him?" Chen Xin said unhappily.

  Lu Xiaoqing also spoke. "Shifting your anger on someone else after you fly into rage out of humiliation. What an unreasonable person."

  "Are you still a man? Why are you hiding behind women?" Ye Tianlong ignored the two and continued provoking Xiang Shaoyun.

  This time, Xiang Shaoyun reacted. He dug his ear and said, "Where did this annoying, noisy fly come from?"

  His words further infuriated Ye Tianlong. Ye Tianlong lost his reason from rage, and he flipped the table.

  "Who is causing trouble here? Are you tired of living?" a gloomy voice suddenly rang out.

  Ye Tianlong was about to attack when he heard the voice. He quickly stopped and took a deep breath, no longer daring to attack. He was aware that fighting was prohibited in this restaurant. Those who disobeyed would suffer grave consequences.

  "Wait, you're scared so easily? How boring," Xiang Shaoyun said with contempt.

  Ye Tianlong clenched his fists tightly and howled, "Xiang Shaoyun, I challenge you!"

  "Are you sure?" Xiang Shaoyun asked while picking his teeth lazily.

  "Yes. I, Ye Tianlong, challenge you!" Ye Tianlong repeated solemnly.

  "You are challenging me?" Xiang Shaoyun suddenly stood up and asked loudly. His voice rumbled like a sudden clap of thunder; his presence rose to a new height, causing even the souls of the people around him to shake.

  Ye Tianlong sensed an incorporeal force pressing down upon him, forcing him to take a step back. He stuttered, "I-I—"

  "You are challenging me?

  "You are challenging me?

  "You are challenging me?"

  Not waiting Ye Tianlong to finish his words, Xiang Shaoyun shouted three more times; his voice grew louder and louder while his presence of a king unfurled out of his body. Faint projections of a dragon and a tiger formed around him, suppressing Ye Tianlong with an incomparable pressure.

  The gluttonous young man from earlier had suddenly transformed into a majestic king, making one feel like kneeling obediently before him. As for Ye Tianlong who was directly before Xiang Shaoyun, he had an illusion that a dragon and a tiger were pouncing toward him.

  "AHHHH!"

  His mental barrier collapsed as he quickly retreated. In his hurry to retreat, he crashed into the table behind him. Fortunately, it was an empty table so nobody else was affected.

  "Is someone like you even worthy of challenging me? Go back to your mother's womb and cultivate 100 years before you come again," Xiang Shaoyun said mercilessly.

  Ye Tianlong had an extremely unsightly expression, and for some reason, he seemed incapable of making any sound with his mouth at all. He had a sensation that he was facing a cultivator whose cultivation level was far beyond his. The suffocating sensation was similar to when he encountered a King Realm cultivator.

  He was not the only one feeling this way. The people around them felt the same, and everyone sank into silence, not daring to make a sound. As for Lu Xiaoqing and Chen Xin, they stared blankly at Xiang Shaoyun with twinkling eyes.

&nbs
p; The word heroic was no longer sufficient to depict the current Xiang Shaoyun. He seemed to possess a boundless charm that could attract women of all ages.

  "Just piss off and stop disturbing my meal." Xiang Shaoyun withdrew the pressure and waved his hand nonchalantly, not even bothering to even give Ye Tianlong a glance. He resumed his eating, and he did not forget to invite the two girls as well, "What are you blanking out for? Come, eat. Don't worry, I can afford to pay."

  "Shaoyun, let me give you a toast," Chen Xin offered.

  When Lu Xiaoqing noticed the odd look in her senior sister's eyes, she immediately felt a sense of crisis. She started regretting her action of bringing her senior sister along.

  "Come, come, let's drink!" Xiang Shaoyun said indifferently and started drinking. He wasn't exactly an alcoholic, but he still felt like life would be dull without liquor. Thus, the two women started eating and drinking. Although they weren't shoving food down their throats like him, they had eased up considerably compared to when they had initially come.

  As for Ye Tianlong, he left gloomily. But before he could even leave the restaurant, the restaurant’s overseer stopped him and demanded that he pay for the damages done to the table and chairs.

  Of course, paying for some table and chairs was nothing for him. But he still felt extremely insulted.

  Xiang Shaoyun, I won't forget this! Ye Tianlong roared inwardly.

  In the Martial Hall Palace, he was considered a genius as well. His strength had always been at the forefront of the disciples; he was loved by many elders and admired by many disciples. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun had completely trampled his dignity.

  More importantly, he also assumed that Chen Xin was now in an intimate relationship with Xiang Shaoyun, which he couldn't accept. Thus, he now regarded Xiang Shaoyun as his enemy.

  Xiang Shaoyun was aware how badly he had trampled upon Ye Tianlong's dignity, adding another person to his list of enemies. But he did not care. In his eyes, a person like Ye Tianlong was not even worthy of his attention. After the meal was over, he took his leave and went to the Medicine Hall. He needed to make some preparations for his trip to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range.
