The Black Moon Sect Leader thought it was not impossible that the Fruit Position was on Chu Huaixu.

The reason was simple.

—This kid was exceptionally talented!

He had heard various rumors about Chu Huaixu.

Just his performance in the East and West Continent Competition was enough to be shocking.

“Sword Intent, Sword Heart… Just these two points, even the current Sword Venerable couldn’t achieve at his age and realm!”

“Moreover, he is dual cultivating in Sword and Body, spending just half, or even less, of his efforts on the Sword Dao.”

After all, it’s well-known that Body Refining requires a grinding effort, consuming immense time and energy, requiring constant polishing, and it’s extremely exhausting and painful.

“Although it’s said he has mastered the real ‘Dao Scripture’, such a special cultivation technique alone shouldn’t lead to such achievements.”

The Black Moon Sect Leader was well aware of how miraculous the Fruit Position truly was.

It was even above the Power of Origin!

After all, an Origin Fragment could only produce a wisp of Power of Origin.

How many Profound Yellow Origin Fragments the Heavenly Dao could produce was unknown, but surely there wouldn’t be too few.

Yet, in Kunlun Cave Heaven, the Fruit Position was a split of the Heavenly Dao, and there were only a few of them.

However, the other party gave him a negative answer.

“I did not sense the existence of the Fruit Position on Chu Huaixu.”

“You need not worry, I am sure he has only caught a slight whiff of the Fruit Position.”

“Otherwise, regardless of the cost, we should have found a way to intercept and kill him that day.”

Hearing this, the Black Moon Sect Leader said gravely, “Actually, even if the Fruit Position is not on him, we should find a way to kill him.”

“With time, this child will surely become a great threat!”

Unfortunately, over the years, he had only cultivated one Vice Sect Leader at the Eighth Realm.

That day, with Lu Pan’s mighty authority of Heavens-acting enforcement, even if he sent more Seventh and Sixth Realm cultivators, they would only be instant kills.

With just one thought before his death, using only one move, all the evil cultivators below the Eighth Realm around him would be killed!

The Black Moon Sect Leader was almost grateful he only sent the Vice Sect Leader.

Lu Pan had used his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings before his death. If there were ambushes, they would all be taken with him.

The cultivator listened and replied with a smile:

“No rush, Chu Huaixu is merely in the Third Realm now, growing takes time.”

However, the Black Moon Sect Leader held an opposing view: “Old thing, don’t try to persuade me with your Kunlun Cave Heaven’s ways. In your path of cultivation, it’s hundreds of years, but in my Profound Yellow Realm, only ten years, or even less, would be needed for him to become a threat to us!”

“You are too cautious, perhaps because you’ve never seen the scenery from the highest peak. If you’ve stayed on the mountaintop for a long time, looking down wouldn’t evoke fear of heights.”

“You’d only think everything below the mountain is so small, like ants.”

The Black Moon Sect Leader’s gaze had a hint of sneer.

“Old thing, you’re always glorifying your Divinity Transformation stage cultivators, yet when they come to my Profound Yellow Realm, they perish instantly.”

The cultivator sighed, replying gravely, “The one I encountered was a Realm Lord, incomparable to cultivators like you.”

…

…

Daoist Sect, Junzi Temple.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Huaixu sat cross-legged on a meditation mat when a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the adjacent room.

“Tsk, Xiaoxu finally had another breakthrough.” He said with a smile.

This medicine pot had been taking pills daily, along with soaking in medicinal baths, reaching the Third Heaven of the Third Realm.

It seemed not too slow, but Han Shuangjiang in the next room was already at the Third Realm Great Perfection, considering whether to continue suppressing her realm.

Clearly, everyone was feeling more urgency than before, with a stronger craving for power.

Chu Huaixu stood up and went to check on Xu Ziqing.

He saw the delicate youth curled like a shrimp on the ground, his whole body trembling, face ashen, and drenched in cold sweat.

Yet, even in such excruciating pain, when he saw Chu Huaixu entering out of concern, he respectfully said as soon as he could:

“Senior… Senior Brother, hiss—.”

“Why does it feel like your Third Realm cultivation technique tortures oneself even more than the Second Realm’s?” He asked, puzzled.

Xu Ziqing took several deep breaths, calming down a bit, but still couldn’t stand up from the pain, and replied, “Junior Martial Uncle said that the path of Body Refining is like this.”

No choice, with his current knowledge, it seemed only the ‘Refining Sword Formulas’ and ‘Dao Scripture’ could continuously increase the pain threshold.

Seeing Xiaoxu in such distress, he even began to doubt himself, unsure whether writing ‘Supreme Divine Skill’ on the booklet of ‘Refining Sword Formulas’ and setting him on the path of Body Refining was right or wrong.

“You rest for a while, I’ll go out with your Senior Sister.” Chu Huaixu said.

“Senior brother, I’ll be ready soon.” Xu Ziqing replied hurriedly.

——Huh? Not taking me?

Chu Huaixu looked at him and said something inexplicable: “It’s not that I’m unwilling to take you, but even if I did, there’s no use… You can only watch the door.”

After speaking, he ignored Xiaoxu and whistled as he walked straight out.

The Dead Fox plans to take the Big Ice Cube for a walk around the Outer Sect.

It’s not to reminisce about the past or revisit old places.

It’s purely because they’re about to descend the mountain, soon heading to the Moon Country, yet they still have one important thing left undone!

“In ‘Borrowed Sword’, the Big Ice Cube obtained those two Dao Ancestor inheritances before entering Junzi Temple.”

“But now she’s only gotten one.”

This might be a chain reaction triggered by him as the ‘Variable.’

Hence, he now frequently takes her back to the Outer Sect for walks.

Since all the Dao Ancestor inheritance secret realms are solo dungeons, taking Xiaoxu along is meaningless.

He’s really just as Chu Huaixu said, only able to stand outside the door as their love security guard.

Chu Huaixu has the “key” and can go inside with his dao companion to explore together.

“Knock knock knock!” He knocked on the Big Ice Cube’s door.

When the door opened, he was greeted by a delicate and pretty face showing helplessness.

“Going to the Outer Sect again, right?” Han Shuangjiang said.

“Yep!” Chu Huaixu answered.

The girl glanced at him with a slightly reproachful gaze, the cold aura on her face gradually faded, and she became more lively.

She still doesn’t understand why Chu Huaixu had long determined her to have overwhelming luck?

Even the existence of Dao Ancestor inheritances seems like she can casually enter them.

For thousands of years, the various Dao Ancestor inheritances haven’t all been found.

When they entered the sect, two were still left, whereabouts unknown.

“To accidentally find one is already a stroke of luck.”

“How could it all be gathered up?” Han Shuangjiang internally grumbled.

She actually doesn’t particularly want to go.

——But he insists.

So she can only comply.

Moreover, recently, as everyone is busy cultivating and improving their strength, they’ve all been a bit stressed with taut nerves.

The girl considers it a leisure outing with her dao companion.

After arriving at the Outer Sect, everyone they meet gazes at them with reverence, immediately greeting them earnestly.

“Direct Disciple Chu.”

“Direct Disciple Han.”

The status of True Disciples is esteemed, ranking above both Inner and Outer Sects.

Everyone actually knows that whether it’s Chu Huaixu or Han Shuangjiang, they will eventually be made True Disciples.

Just didn’t expect that day to come so quickly…

Most of their peers have yet to enter the Second Realm.

This pair strolled idly through the Outer Sect, and when nobody was around, he would hold the girl’s delicate hand.

The Big Ice Cube is typical of the kind who won’t do anything intimate in front of others, no matter how minor.

They walked and walked, arriving at a pavilion halfway up Book Mountain.

“The Outer Sect is so vast, can we really find the Dao Ancestor inheritance just by exploring like this?” Han Shuangjiang asked.

“Of course, don’t undervalue yourself.” He began pressuring the Big Ice Cube with the same old rhetoric.

“Undervalue myself?” The girl was slightly speechless, muttering: “You’re not even looking.”

“The Dao Ancestor Secret Realm isn’t so easy to find…”

She lowered her head and lightly kicked a small stone outside the pavilion.

The stone started rolling oddly on the ground.

With each roll, it paused for about a breath’s time, then rolled again, then paused.

After rolling nine times, a burst of blue light appeared, directly sucking Han Shuangjiang into the World in Stone.
