Chapter 1307 Wilde Enters Slumber

When they returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Dragonblood warriors entered seclusion to consolidate their cultivation bases .

Having just advanced to the Jade Core realm, their power had grown explosively . Compared to when they had been at the Foundation Forging realm, their spiritual yuan had grown by over ten times in terms of both quantity and quality . They needed to get used to their new power .

Everyone in the Dragonblood Legion had advanced to the Jade Core realm, and it was a perfect advancement . Even Li Tianxuan felt emotional to see this .

These Dragonblood warriors were all elites amongst elites . Not only were they brave warriors who would fight one against a hundred, but they were even monsters who could fight across realms .

With such a terrifying group of disciples, there was no point in worrying over whether the Xuantian Dao Sect could return to its former glory . It would probably surpass any point in its history to reach an unprecedented level .

However, the Dragonblood Legion was too conspicuous now . Countless people were envious of them, and most likely, the Xuantian Dao Sect had become a huge target for many people .

But the only thing that didn’t draw envy was mediocrity . As long as you stood at a high level, there would definitely be people envious of you that hoped for your downfall . Dirty tricks, scheming, trying to crowd you out, these things were unavoidable .

This was the cultivation world . The struggle was endless . If you weren’t prepared for such a thing, then you should simply never think of rising .

Whether it was a single genius or a whole sect, if they wanted to rise, they would have to face countless enemies .

The history of a powerful sect’s rising had to be bloody . They rose by climbing the mountain of bones of their enemies .

Geniuses were the same . One of the laws of the Heavenly Daos was that everyone was in competition . Life was a survival of the fittest . To not climb over other people’s corpses was to allow others to climb over your corpse . The path of cultivation was one with no turning back .

After returning to the Xuantian Dao Sect and making sure everyone was set, the only one with nothing to do was Long Chen . He was unable to use his spiritual yuan to cultivate . As soon as he tried, the curse would reactivate .

Although the curse wasn’t able to threaten his life, it stuck to him like cancer . It was incredibly irritating, and there was no way for him to fight .

However, he did find that while he couldn’t do anything else, he would be able to circulate his flame energy . The curse wouldn’t reactivate as long as he only used his flame energy .

His guess was that it was due to the Nirvana Scripture . His flame energy wasn’t affected by the curse . Otherwise, there would have been no way for him to refine pills for everyone .

After everyone went through the tribulation, Long Chen noticed that there was something strange with Wilde . Wilde was constantly yawning, and his focus was gone . Sometimes Long Chen would be talking to him and he would just start napping .

When Long Chen asked Li Tianxuan what was going on, Li Tianxuan said that Wilde was very likely undergoing some kind of metamorphosis .

That made Long Chen jump . Wilde wasn’t a Magical Beast . How could he go through a metamorphosis?

Li Tianxuan said that the true Barbarian race only existed in legends . Perhaps they had existed, but they had disappeared from this world .

The Barbarian race of legends used to eat anything with flesh . Even dragons were eaten by them .

Their bodies were similar to Magical Beasts . They cultivated neither spiritual yuan, true qi, nor the Dao . They were an oddity of the entire world .

When their physical strength reached a certain level, their bodies would undergo a metamorphosis . But when undergoing this metamorphosis, they would be like hibernating Magical Beasts . They would enter a long slumber . Once their metamorphosis was complete, they would automatically wake, and their combat power would have increased massively .

However, Li Tianxuan didn’t know what kind of changes would happen . All of this was from the scanty sentences about the Barbarian race he had read in ancient texts . No one could say whether it was true or not .

But as expected, in just two days, Wilde completely collapsed and entered a deep sleep . He couldn’t be woken no matter what .

At the same time, the pores on his face and hands began to have slim threads grow out of them . More and more of them appeared until they completely enveloped him in a large cocoon .

“It seems the legends are true . The Barbarian race was exceptionally domineering back in the immortal era . But how could someone from the Barbarian race appear now? Didn’t they go extinct a long time ago?” wondered Li Tianxuan .

Long Chen had told him about how he had found Wilde on the streets in the Phoenix Cry Empire . Feeling him to be pitiable but an honest and sincere person, he had kept him by his side .

But now that he looked back on that, Wilde’s origins were too mysterious . The Barbarian race was clearly extinct, so where had Wilde come from? Who were his parents?

Wilde didn’t recall his parents . He had been raised in a little rural village by villagers . Then an epidemic had struck the village and they had all died . Only he had survived .

It was like a portion of Wilde’s memories were missing . His memories started at the age of four or five, and he didn’t remember anything before that .

“Once Wilde comes out of his cocoon, he’ll probably be very terrifying,” sighed Li Tianxuan . It seemed a great era had truly descended . Even the legendary Barbarian race had appeared . This was an era of all the powers of the world .

Li Tianxuan felt like he had suddenly grown older . Perhaps the future of this era would become the land of these monsters .

Long Chen carried the cocoon that was Wilde into a private room of the Xuantian Tower . There was a stone bed in this room, and Yue Zifeng was lying on it, his hands holding his sword .

“Xuan Master, Zifeng…” Long Chen worriedly looked at the lifeless Yue Zifeng .

The current Yue Zifeng was essentially an empty husk . He didn’t have the slightest sign of life .

“He is a genius of the Sword Dao . He placed his whole heart, mind, and soul into his sword during that battle . However, he hasn’t reached that level of power yet . He was able to use that move, but he’s not able to do the opposite . Now, his essence is locked within his sword . As for whether he will be able to bring his soul back into his body, it’s completely up to him,” said Li Tianxuan .

Back then, Li Tianxuan had been completely stunned by Yue Zifeng’s powerful sword arts . Yue Zifeng’s killing power had already surpassed the control of heaven and earth . That meant his comprehension of the Sword Dao had reached an extremely high realm .

But although his realm had reached the level that he was able to use such a terrifying move, his actual power had not reached that level . After placing his soul within his sword, he had managed to bring his power to his peak, and with a single attack, he had killed over ten Soul Transformation experts . But being unable to retrieve his soul from his sword, his body had become empty . No one could help him . The only one who could help him was himself .

Long Chen placed Wilde on another bed . Through Li Tianxuan’s explanation, he no longer felt so much worry for Yue Zifeng .

He understood Yue Zifeng well . Although he rarely spoke, his willpower was definitely at the apex of the Dragonblood Legion . Otherwise, there was no way for him to be so outstanding amongst all sword cultivators .

The only thing he felt regretful over was that Yue Zifeng hadn’t undergone tribulation with everyone . He didn’t know if this would leave behind any flaws .

But thinking about all this had no meaning now . After making sure the two of them would be safe here, Long Chen was called over by Li Tianxuan to his personal room . The two of them sat facing each other .

Li Tianxuan asked, “For you to raise everyone’s power so openly, I presume you have some trump card to shut their mouths?”

Li Tianxuan felt like Long Chen wasn’t so impetuous . According to reason, he should have raised everyone's power in secret . Although it would be noticed sooner or later, stalling for just one day was a good thing .

But he had done it so openly and brazenly . Furthermore, the Dragonblood Legion hadn’t hidden the marks of their tribulation . All of the Xuantian Dao Sect knew that the Dragonblood Legion’s Celestial ranks had increased once more .

With Li Tianxuan’s understanding of Long Chen, he was sure Long Chen had done that intentionally . So he wanted to know the whole story so he could prepare as well .

“Yes . Paper isn’t able to cover up a fire . Pill Valley has had its gaze on me for a long time now . No matter how carefully I act, they’ll still find ways to find trouble for me . Compared to the Corrupt path, Pill Valley is far more shameless . They’ll just make a random excuse and start making things hard for me . They’re the most hateful . So this time, I also want you to spread the news openly . Let’s blow this matter up as big as possible and slap Pill Valley in the face,” said Long Chen .

Pill Valley’s people had truly been too shameless . They were despicable and felt no guilt with harming the innocent . He was fed up with them .

“Long Chen, you should think through this . The second volume of the Nirvana Scripture is in Pill Valley’s hands,” reminded Li Tianxuan .

“That’s fine . Once I slap them in the face, I’ll go learn it . They’re two separate matters . Otherwise, if I learned their Nirvana Scripture and then slapped them, I’d feel bad . So it’s best to first slap them,” said Long Chen indifferently .

Li Tianxuan was speechless . What kind of logic was this? Was this supposed to mean that Long Chen wouldn’t feel bad learning their art after slapping them?

“From your tone, you already have a way to handle this?” asked Li Tianxuan .

“Yes, it shouldn’t be a problem . After all, I’ve had past dealings with Pill Valley . I’m very familiar with their patterns,” said Long Chen . He took out a badge from Pill Valley .

This was the first place reward he had obtained in the Pill Tower’s competition back in the Eastern Wasteland . Now it was finally time to use it .

Li Tianxuan nodded . Long Chen’s intelligence wasn’t inferior to his . As long as his temper didn’t get the better of him, he wouldn’t lose out .

“Then since you’re so confident, I’ll leave it to you . I guess the Xuantian Dao Sect is about to become very lively . You’ll be in charge of slapping their faces, and I’ll be in charge of cowing them with power . We’ll split the work!” Li Tianxuan smiled .

“Xuan Master, can I ask how much power the Xuantian Dao Sect has?”

“Hahaha, little fellow, you don’t need to worry about that . You can go as far as you want . The foundation of the Xuantian Dao Sect is far greater than you imagine . Although the Pill Tower is strong, my Xuantian Dao Sect isn’t so easy to bully . When it comes to such a situation, whoever has more misgivings will suffer more . So since I’m fine with leaving this matter to you, you should know how much confidence I have . It just so happens I can use this chance to properly give a display to those fellows . It can count as my oath to the Central Plains that the Xuantian Dao Sect is rising . Anyone who’s not afraid of dying can come and try to stop us!” laughed Li Tianxuan grandly .

“Hahaha, good . If that’s the case, then I’m at ease . I’ll properly slap those idiots’ faces this time . ” Long Chen was delighted .

With what Li Tianxuan said, Long Chen’s confidence rose . He just happened to be an expert in slapping faces .
