Chapter 1816: Fire Xu Ancient Saint

Emperor Chen Yong’s grandfather was the ruthless figure who fought against Master Kong back then, whose name has been preserved for ten thousand generations, and no one can surpass him!

Therefore, although Emperor Chen Yong is also an Ancient Sage, his revered status as an Emperor was established since childhood. When did a "young master" suddenly appear?

The dignified First Emperor of the Spirit Tribe addressing someone else as "young master"...

Who has that qualification?

“He is the Spirit God’s beloved…” Emperor Chen Yong explained.

“The Spirit God?”

Ancient Sage Bo Xun recoiled.

The Spirit Tribe was able to survive and thrive precisely because of the Spirit God, and this person before them is actually her beloved… His background is simply too significant.

Looking at Zhang Xuan again, Ancient Sage Bo Xun was filled with awe.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan, disregarding their discussion, was fully immersed in the refinement of the primordial magnetic force.

The Great Sage Fourfold Immortal Realm is where the physical body and soul are immortal and indestructible. Normally, without corresponding Heavenly Dao cultivation techniques, it would take an unknown amount of time to improve. But now, the power emanating from the primordial magnetic stone could perfectly temper him, allowing him to gradually approach this realm.

After an unknown period, his body underwent another transformation. His entire body’s muscles and soul emitted dazzling light, appearing sacred and inviolable.

Immortal Realm!

He had thought it would take an unknown amount of time to reach this realm, but unexpectedly, the primordial magnetic force had such an effect, allowing him to succeed in one go.

Having broken through the realm, Zhang Xuan did not stop and continued to absorb the five-colored light spreading around him.

This stone, capable of rendering even powerhouses of the Rebirth from a Drop of Blood realm helpless, was truly terrifying. As more and more power entered his body, his cultivation also increased rapidly at a visible pace.

Early-stage Immortal Realm!

Mid-stage Immortal Realm!

In half an hour, he reached the Grand Perfection of the Immortal Realm!

Mighty power continuously surged within his body, reaching a bottleneck and no longer able to advance. Only then did Zhang Xuan slowly open his eyes.

His students and parents had reached this realm one after another, and finally, he himself had also arrived.

Having reached the Grand Perfection of the Immortal Realm, his strength was several times greater than before. Combined with the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, even without using the Demonic Xuan Blade, he might even be able to fight Ancient Sages of the bloodline continuation level!

Of course, the strength of Ancient Sages lies in their comprehension of laws and their understanding of the heavens and earth, whereas physical strength is less important.

Being able to fight and being able to kill the opponent still had a significant gap between them.

“I can attempt to break through to Ancient Sage at any time…”

Reaching this realm, strength was secondary; the most important thing was that it signified he was only a step away from becoming an Ancient Sage.

His state of mind had already broken through, and he also possessed Ancient Sage power. He only needed to comprehend a law that transcended the Heavenly Dao, and he could then attempt it.

Under the current circumstances, only by becoming an Ancient Sage could he truly soar to the sky and stand at the pinnacle of the world.

Knowing that he needed time to consolidate his gains and that a breakthrough would not be successful for now, Zhang Xuan stopped.

With a wave of his hand, the brilliant light dissipated, and the primordial magnetic stone reappeared in his palm, though it had shrunk by nearly half.

He had cultivated for over half an hour in the Library, but less than ten minutes had passed outside.

“Your cultivation…”

As the light faded, Emperor Chen Yong immediately perceived Zhang Xuan’s current strength and was dumbfounded.

This is… another breakthrough?

Hadn’t he just broken through on a whim?

He immediately felt a sense of “who am I, where am I?” and an inexplicable feeling of being stifled.

Others needed to expend great effort and energy to break through, but this guy seemed to be doing it as if it were a game...

How could anyone else live like this?

He really didn’t know how Zhang Xuan cultivated.

Ignoring their expressions, Zhang Xuan looked at Ancient Sage Bo Xun beside him: “The hidden danger in your body has been resolved, and the consciousness within this primordial magnetic stone has also been destroyed by me. You can use it freely as a magical artifact. However… it’s best not to attempt to refine it, otherwise, the previous situation might reappear!”

After speaking, he handed over the primordial magnetic stone.

This item had taken the other party three millennia of nurturing to reach its current state. Although it was a treasure, Zhang Xuan had already benefited from it, so it was inappropriate to take what someone else cherished.

“Thank you for saving my life…” Taking the primordial magnetic stone, Ancient Sage Bo Xun sighed in relief and looked at Emperor Chen Yong again: “What is your plan? How do you intend to take revenge? I will follow your lead!”

He had already agreed before, and now that he knew Zhang Xuan’s true identity, there was no longer any hesitation in his heart.

“Emperor Ling and Emperor Xing have gathered eight Ancient Sages. We are still too weak right now, so I plan to invite Ancient Sage Huoxu to lend me a hand!”

After a moment of thought, Emperor Chen Yong said.

“Ancient Sage Huoxu?”

Frowning, Ancient Sage Bo Xun looked over: “Are you referring to the old ancestor of the Saint Beast tribe? Back then, when you launched an expedition against them, you already forged a deep enmity… If you go to invite it, won’t it kill you?”

Ancient Sage Huoxu was not a powerhouse of the Spirit Tribe, but the old ancestor of the Saint Beast tribe living within the Spirit Tribe’s territory.

Its strength was only stronger, not weaker, than his.

However, this Saint Beast had a deep enmity with Emperor Chen Yong. Seeking its allegiance would not only fail but might even provoke an adverse reaction!

“There are only a handful of Ancient Sages who have reached the Rebirth from a Drop of Blood realm. If we don’t seek its help, we cannot win…”

Emperor Chen Yong shook his head.

While many other kings were powerful, he could still resist them if he fought with all his might. However, Emperor Ling and Emperor Xing were simply too strong, and only powerhouses of the same level could contend with them.

Rather than finding weaker ones to send to their deaths, it was better to find powerhouses of the same level.

“A Saint Beast?” Zhang Xuan looked over.

“Its true form is a colossal flame beast, and it’s not much weaker than me. Back then, during a conflict with the Spirit Tribe, I led my people and drove it out. So, there is some animosity between us…” Emperor Chen Yong said.

If he had other choices, he would definitely not choose this one. After all, given the conflict between them, it could easily lead to an adverse outcome.

“Young Master, don’t you have special methods for taming beasts? Perhaps…”

He looked over, filled with hope.

This Young Master before them had easily tamed Saint Beasts at the Grand Perfection of the Immortal Realm when he was only in the Golden Body realm. Although Ancient Sage Huoxu was powerful and difficult to tame, there should be great hope if they could establish a good relationship.

Not agreeing immediately, Zhang Xuan frowned and asked, “How deep is the conflict between you?”

If the animosity was irreconcilable and could not be resolved, then it would be useless for anyone to go.

“It was a racial dispute. It wanted to lead its tribe to occupy a region of the Spirit Tribe, which I didn’t agree to. So, the two sides decided it through a battle of strength, and I relied on my strength to defeat it and drove it out tens of thousands of kilometers…”

Scratching his head, Emperor Chen Yong said.

Back then, he was young and impulsive and didn’t hold back. Not only did he drive it away, but he also severely injured it...

“Drove it out tens of thousands of kilometers? The entire tribe relocated?”

As soon as the other party said this, he knew that this conflict was almost impossible to resolve. He helplessly shook his head: “I’m afraid I’m also powerless to deal with such hatred!”

“This…”

Hearing that even Zhang Xuan was powerless, Emperor Chen Yong paused, gritted his teeth, and a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes: “If it really comes to that, I will go to him, offer a humble apology, and let him do as he pleases!”
