Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 293 - 288: The Person Who Once Faced Jiuyuan Alone

Ding Huan also felt quite embarrassed, he had only recently advanced to the Star Domain Realm, and his control over the Star Domain was still somewhat unfamiliar.

Having heard the words of the chicken nest-haired man, he immediately changed the Star Domain Dao Rhythm.

The next moment, the chicken nest-haired man furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "Why has my Divine Will disappeared again?"

As he spoke, he punched down once more.

This punch, let alone striking the Emerald River of the Undersea, didn’t even knock down a huge boulder one zhang away from him; it merely shook it slightly.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, the chicken nest-haired man suddenly looked at Ding Huan, "Kid, it must be you causing mischief, you can control the Divine Will of those around you."

Bei Shu raised his hand to grab the chicken nest-haired man, who clearly wanted to dodge, but the Hand Seal that Bei Shu’s Divine Will transformed into firmly hoisted him up:

"What makes you, in the later stages of the Earth Immortal, think you have any right to act authoritative here?"

"Earth Immortal Perfection?" The chicken nest-haired man looked at Bei Shu in shock.

He previously thought he had a sure grip on Ding Huan and the others.

Because for the past few decades, the strongest cultivator who had entered was merely at the Immortal level; he had not seen an Earth Immortal for a long time.

Who would have thought that today someone from the Earth Immortal level, and at the Perfect Realm, would come in?

Immediately afterward, he looked towards Fu Qijian.

Fu Qijian said indifferently:

"Don’t bother looking, I’m also an Earth Immortal, and being an Earth Immortal is nothing remarkable. If one so wishes, isn’t everyone the same?"

When he said this, Fu Qijian felt particularly proud.

To him, a few years ago, Earth Immortal was not just something remarkable; it was beyond reach.

Now, he actually had become an Earth Immortal, the exhilaration of which was indescribable.

Bei Shu relaxed his grip on the chicken nest-haired man, letting him drop to the ground.

The chicken nest-haired sighed, stood up, and gave Bei Shu a Cultivator’s salute: "Xun Youshan has met the Daoist friend, I was indeed too arrogant."

"Xun Youshan? Are you from the Qi Bei Xun Family, Xun Youshan?"

Xun Youshan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn’t expect that after hundreds of years, there would still be people who know of me, Xun Youshan."

Bei Shu spoke earnestly: "Afterward, the Xun Family produced a remarkable figure, named Xun Bu, who should be of your grandson’s generation.

"Back then, a young Immortal from Jiuyuan came to the Triple Heaven Star Land and in Jiuyuan City he promoted Jiuyuan, encouraging talented cultivators to cultivate in Jiuyuan.

Xun Bu immediately stood up and denounced Jiuyuan’s ulterior motives, saying they wanted to take over Triple Heaven Star Land and there was absolutely nothing benevolent about that.

The young Immortal from Jiuyuan was no ordinary person, seemingly an important figure in Jiuyuan. When he heard Xun Bu’s remarks, not only did he not get angry, but he also invited Xun Bu for a drink.

Xun Bu immediately rejected him and exposed even more of Jiuyuan’s secrets without holding back, even mentioning that Jiuyuan had Jiuyuan Cities in many Star Lands.

The young man from Jiuyuan simply smiled and revealed to Xun Bu that he fancied Xun Bu’s sister, Xun Shu, hoping to take her to Jiuyuan.

Naturally, Xun Bu mercilessly mocked and refuted him, after which an epic battle commenced in Jiuyuan City."

Fu Qijian nodded:

"I’ve also heard of this matter; it’s quite famous in the Ascension Realm."

Xun Youshan glared at Fu Qijian, signalling him not to interrupt.

Bei Shu continued:

"At that time, those left in Jiuyuan City of the Ascension Realm were all powerhouses, who didn’t take Xun Bu seriously at all. But once the fight started, they realized they were not just wrong, but outrageously so.

Xun Bu, wielding a Blood Halberd, slashed and killed four Earth Immortal powerhouses, thirteen Immortal powerhouses, and seventy-two cultivators of the True God Realm.

That battle was immensely fierce and bloody, staining Jiuyuan City. Alas, Xun Bu was alone; his sister Xun Shu also got killed protecting him.

The cultivators of the Great Sects in the Ascension Realm not only didn’t help Xun Bu, but they also aided the people from Jiuyuan.

In the end, Xun Bu, overwhelmed by the battle, is rumored to have either died fighting or escaped. And the Xun Family, because of that battle, was afterwards obliterated by Jiuyuan..."

Xun Youshan’s eyes moistened, his body trembling.

It took him awhile before he could take a deep breath and say, "Good, the descendants of my Xun Family have not brought shame upon the family."

After that, he looked at Bei Shu: "You must have come down here with a purpose, right?"

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

He could tell just by the calm demeanor of these three people, and their ability to wield the full Divine Will of an Earth Immortal, that they definitely did not come down here by accident.

Bei Shu smiled slightly:

"Correct, we indeed came down here with a purpose. We plan to make a little fortune and incidentally rescue someone."

"I, Xun Youshan, would like to join you, if I may?" Xun Youshan asked expectantly as he looked at Bei Shu.

Bei Shu pointed at Ding Huan: "Our group is led by Brother Ding Huan."

Xun Youshan was startled; he felt that Ding Huan was the weakest.

But then he remembered: wasn’t it Ding Huan who last time dug up the Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths that the cultivators of the Four-layered Sea Canyon had failed to extract?

Not only that, but Ding Huan had also left this place easily, while He Yiquan and Chen Xiaomei tried to catch him but didn’t even brush his sleeve.

If it wasn’t intentional this time, they wouldn’t need to come back at all.

"I have not yet inquired how the Daoist friends are called?" Xun Youshan decided not to be so confused anymore.

The Xun Family was founded by him; surely, as the old patriarch, he couldn’t be outdone by his descendants, could he?

Ding Huan pointed at Bei Shu and said,

"This is Daoist Bei Shu, a disciple of Datong Academy."

Xun Youshan was startled and then said, "Wasn’t Datong Academy obliterated by Jiuyuan?"

Ding Huan sighed; these old fellows indeed knew how Datong Academy had fallen. It seemed the information Lao Hu, the second-in-command, got was not very reliable.

"Yes, so this time I followed Brother Ding Huan to do some things. After we leave the Four-layered Sea Canyon, we will go and fight Jiuyuan," Bei Shu did not conceal his intentions.

"Would it be possible to include me, Xun Youshan?" Xun Youshan immediately asked.

"Lao Xun," if you want to join, it’s naturally for the better; where would we not welcome you?"

After Ding Huan finished speaking, he pointed at Fu Qijian and said, "This is Fu Qijian, whose master is also here, called Ji Xuwen. My name is Ding Huan, as you probably know."

"Ji Xuwen?" Xun Youshan showed surprise upon hearing this name.

Fu Qijian quickly asked,

"Do you know of my master’s whereabouts, senior?"

Xun Youshan nodded, "I indeed have seen Ji Xuwen; his cultivation appears not to have reached Earth Immortal Perfection. However, his condition doesn’t seem too good; he’s living quite a hard life in the Cultivator Avenue District."

Ding Huan asked, puzzled, "Lao Xun, why don’t you go to the Cultivator Avenue District? Why stay here?"

Xun Youshan huffed, "That Wu Zhanxia requires every cultivator who enters the Avenue District to contribute their Tao Techniques and publicly circulate their cultivation in cycles for twenty-four hours.

I, Xun Youshan, would rather die than debase myself with such acts. Why should I give my family’s Taoist Skills to him?

If I don’t go to the Cultivator Avenue District, it only means that the Dao Rhythm will be eroded away. I, Xun Youshan, have lived long enough; whenever my Dao Rhythm is fully eroded, I shall end my own life."

"Lao Xun, you haven’t let the Xun Family down," Ding Huan praised.

"Ha ha..." Xun Youshan laughed loudly, clearly delighted by Ding Huan’s words.

"Let’s go; I’ll take you to the cultivators’ living area, which they call the Avenue District. But they should be arriving soon."

Indeed, as soon as Xun Youshan finished speaking, Ding Huan saw that man again, the one with a face full of horizontal scars.

It was this man who had tried to ambush him with a trapping and killing prohibition and then attempted to strip him of all his possessions, but he had managed to escape.

Seeing him again today truly was like enemies meeting each other.

"Ha ha..." The man with horizontal scars on his face saw Ding Huan and burst into laughter.

Clearly, he shared the same thought as Xun Youshan, believing that Ding Huan had nowhere to go and would eventually be forced into the canyon.

"He’s called He Yiquan, one of Jiuyuan’s men," Xun Youshan remarked.

He Yiquan was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Xun Youshan to dare to interrupt.

This old fellow generally hid in the Dao Rhythm erosion area, although sometimes he dared to snatch some treasures.

But most of the time, he didn’t dare to reveal their identities.

"Jiuyuan’s trash."

As Ding Huan was about to take action, Fu Qijian unsheathed the Great Ruins Sword,

"Leave the Jiuyuan trash to me."

Xun Youshan waved his hand,

"I must be the one to kill him. Jiuyuan dared to kill the descendants of the Xun Family; today, an ancestor of the Xun Family will take a small measure of revenge for Xun Bu."

He Yiquan was stunned by Xun Youshan’s words. That guy who had always been hiding in the Dao Rhythm erosion area now dared to confront him—had he gone mad?

"Let me show you the Spear Path of the Xun Family."

As Xun Youshan finished speaking, a green long halberd appeared in his hand, and immediately the halberd swept up a whirl of halberd light towards He Yiquan.

Ding Huan’s Domain spread out at once.

He knew that if he didn’t extend his Domain, Xun Youshan definitely wouldn’t be a match for He Yiquan.

He Yiquan’s Daoist Rhythm was scarcely damaged, while Xun Youshan’s foundation was clearly compromised.

Indeed, feeling his Divine Will unrestrained, Xun Youshan let out a long howl, and the divine power of the halberd increased by more than a hundredfold.

He Yiquan felt his entire space locked down by Xun Youshan’s killing intent, and he was astonished.

Since when had this old fellow become so terrifying? His Divine Will seemed not at all damaged.

How was that possible?

Once outside the Avenue District, anywhere in the Four-layered Sea Canyon, the Daoist Rhythm would constantly be eroded away. The deeper inside, the more severe the erosion of the Daoist Rhythm.

This was also why this place was usually inhabited by only Xun Youshan, who would only come to scavenge when others visited and to find a few underlings to do the grunt work for him.

Of course, the treasures he obtained and the techniques were to be handed over to the Valley Master.

For cultivators above Earth Immortal, he was to entice them to join the Taoist Practitioner Area.

"Thud!"

Although He Yiquan knew what he should do, as before he was capable, just now he couldn’t manage to do it, nor could he dodge.

All he could do was watch, wide-eyed, as Xun Youshan’s halberd split open his brow, blood mist spraying the ground.

"This guy really can’t take a hit, just look at how arrogant he is normally; turns out he’s no match at all, heh heh." Xun Youshan was in high spirits as he killed He Yiquan with a single strike.

Ding Huan was speechless; if he hadn’t locked down the area with his Star Domain, Xun Youshan wouldn’t stand a chance against He Yiquan at all.
