Chapter 41

Most importantly, as he had expected, this special space allowed him to deduce the subsequent cultivation techniques. The *Heavenly Immortal Step* in his hand was merely the first level. He had merely practiced the steps of the *Heavenly Immortal Step* to a proficient level.

During this month, he had already deduced the second level of the *Heavenly Immortal Step*. However, he had only just reached the initial stage of this level, far from achieving its perfection. Despite this, his *Heavenly Immortal Step* had undergone a fundamental breakthrough, and his speed had more than doubled. He could even split into a shadow when he activated it, although it would disappear after a short while. He believed that if he could reach the perfection of the initial stage, the shadow would remain for a longer time.

After more than a month of intense cultivation, Ye Xiwén was absolutely confident that he could defeat any expert at the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven stage.

True Qi surged through Ye Xiwén's body, far surpassing the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven stage, immensely powerful. With each slash of his blade, a curtain of blade shadows formed, each one capable of shattering the air, producing a series of explosive sounds.

Ye Xiwén finished his cultivation and planned to return to the Yīyuán Sect to participate in the core disciples' competition. This competition was very important, and after it, Ye Xiwén might be sent to the main sect of the Yīyuán Sect to join it.

Leaving the inn, Ye Xiwén heard that the city was still in an uproar over the先天丹 (先天丹). After the先天丹 was successfully refined, the City Lord's residence quickly produced two先天 experts, surpassing the City Guard's residence with three先天 experts. Fortunately, the City Guard's residence also bought a先天丹 at the auction and cultivated a先天 expert, preventing them from falling completely behind.

However, Ye Xiwén knew that without external intervention, the Tiānyuán City would likely gradually fall into the hands of the City Lord's residence. Fortunately, Ye Xiwén had no conflict with the City Lord's residence; on the contrary, he had even helped them, which was beneficial to him.

After making up his mind, Ye Xiwén quickly left the city and rushed towards the Yīyuán Sect along the main road. Compared to when he went down the mountain, his strength had greatly improved, and his speed had increased several times.

As he rushed along, he heard intense fighting sounds when he passed through a forest.

Ye Xiwén rushed in and saw a fierce surge of True Qi in the forest.

He saw a group of over ten martial artists in tight-fitting clothes surrounding a young woman in a green robe, led by a young man in luxurious attire.

The young woman in the green robe was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with arched eyebrows and bright eyes that sparkled like waves. Her skin was as white as snow, and her appearance was ethereal and untainted, like a celestial being.

Each of the over ten martial artists in tight-fitting clothes was at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven stage, not ordinary Ninth Level martial artists, but the best among them.

The young man in luxurious attire and the young woman in the green robe had their auras subtly blending with the surrounding environment. Their every move was accompanied by a continuous flow of True Qi, indicating that they were both experts at the先天 stage.

Ye Xiwén immediately concealed his aura and hid behind a tree.

The young man in luxurious attire, Luó Tiān, could cause the air to explode with his casual attacks, demonstrating immense power.

The young woman's cultivation technique, however, gave Ye Xiwén a familiar feeling.

"Luó Tiān, you have great audacity to poison my food and plot against me. Are you not afraid of the Yīyuán Sect exterminating your clan?" the young woman in the green robe said sharply.

Yīyuán Sect!

Ye Xiwén was instantly invigorated. This young woman in the green robe was a disciple of the Yīyuán Sect, but he had never seen her before. Moreover, the Yīyuán Sect on Qīngfēng Mountain could not possibly cultivate experts at the先天 stage. Therefore, she must be a disciple of the main sect of the Yīyuán Sect.

"Ha ha ha!" Luó Tiān laughed, "You have been poisoned by me. There is no way you can escape from my hands today. Without you, my sister will receive the attention and cultivation resources from the Sect Master, and our Luó family will rise to prominence!"

"You are dreaming!" the young woman in the green robe gritted her teeth, drawing her long sword. The sword light and cold aura instantly enveloped the sky, shattering the air and turning sand into dust.

Several martial artists who were close to her were instantly killed without any doubt. Even if a先天 expert was poisoned, their strength still far exceeded that of Ninth Level Later Heaven martial artists.

"Huà Mènghán, surrender now!" Luó Tiān laughed and charged forward, wielding a long saber, the blade energy oppressive and spreading wildly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two engaged in a fierce battle, terrifying waves of energy surging out.

"Sir, before we kill this girl, can we let the brothers enjoy her first? Ha ha, the pride of the Yīyuán Sect, we have never enjoyed such a high-quality girl before!" a martial artist in tight-fitting clothes leered.

"Ha ha ha, as you wish. When our Luó family rises to prominence, what women will you not have?" Luó Tiān laughed, his attacks becoming more ruthless.

"Looking for death!" Huà Mènghán gritted her teeth in anger. If she were not poisoned, these insignificant people would not dare to act so recklessly in front of her.

Huà Mènghán slashed her sword, a terrifying sword energy flashing at the tip and instantly shooting out, like lightning, splitting the martial artist who had leered into two halves.

The martial artist did not even have time to scream before he was split in two and died.

Luó Tiān, unconcerned, laughed, "Go ahead and kill. The more you use your True Qi, the faster the poison will take effect!"

Indeed, Huà Mènghán's white skin was already faintly tinged with a strange green, which was quite chilling to see.

Huà Mènghán bit her lip and said, "Even if I die, I will not let your plot succeed!"

Before she finished speaking, her sword whistled through the air, and the sword energy expanded, like a full moon pressing down on Luó Tiān.

Luó Tiān also used all his skills, his saber cutting through everything, charging forward.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The collision of the sword and saber in the sky produced sparks, igniting the air.

"Whoosh!" A sharp sound came from the intersection, as if from the void, a sword piercing directly into Luó Tiān's chest.

"Ah!" Luó Tiān screamed, falling to the ground, his face turning pale, blood splattering.

At this moment, Huà Mènghán's condition was not much better. Her originally white skin was now covered in green, looking very frightening. Her slender body seemed to be on the verge of collapsing in the wind.
