Chapter 368: Chapter 368

As soon as the words were spoken, Sun Dafu’s eyes lit up.

"Lord, could it be that this Array was set up by you?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Lord, could it be that you are also a Xuan Master, the legendary Xuanwu Dual Cultivation?" Sun Dafu asked excitedly.

"No!" Zhang Xiaohao shook his head.

"Lord, if you are not a Xuan Master, how do you know so much?" Sun Dafu asked, puzzled.

"I practice Three Cultivations!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Three Cultivations? Please forgive my ignorance, but could you enlighten me, Lord?" Sun Dafu asked.

"Xuan Master, Martial Artist, Physical Body—all three are cultivated!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"Ah! Lord, you, you are too formidable!" Sun Dafu exclaimed, stunned.

"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and gave a wry smile.

If he knew that I had reached the same level in all three aspects, wouldn’t he be even more astonished?

"Come with me!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

After that, he stood up and walked outside.

"Yes." Sun Dafu followed, entering the basement behind Zhang Xiaohao. Follow current novᴇls on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Zhang Xiaohao opened the door and cast a spell to enter the room.

"Ah! Such rich nature’s spiritual energy, could this little tree be the legendary treasure tree?" Sun Dafu exclaimed.

The scene before him profoundly challenged his beliefs.

"Consider it a treasure tree," Zhang Xiaohao said.

Walking to the Netherworld Holy Tree, he looked down at the Netherworld Holy Water in the Bai Yu pool below.

After consuming the Great Five Elements Spirit Pill, the rate at which he absorbed nature’s spiritual energy increased sixfold.

With the breathing exercises over this period, the Netherworld Holy Water in the Bai Yu pool had increased from the original thousand-odd drops to nearly three thousand drops.

Flipping his palm, Zhang Xiaohao took out an empty, exquisite little bottle.

He filled it with a hundred drops of Netherworld Holy Water and casually tossed it to Sun Dafu.

"Ah! Lord, what is this?" Sun Dafu asked excitedly.

"This is Netherworld Holy Water. It has excellent effects in restoring True Qi and healing wounds. This is for you," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"I am grateful to you, Lord!" Sun Dafu said.

Zhang Xiaohao took out two more exquisite jade bottles, one holding two hundred drops.

The other one contained a thousand drops, and as for the remaining Netherworld Holy Water, he did not take any more, keeping it in reserve for unforeseen needs.

"Let’s go," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Yes," Sun Dafu nodded.

Zhang Xiaohao waved his hand and reactivated the Nine Extremes Trapped Sky Array, then sat down on the sofa in the basement’s hall.

"Lord, the Extinction Yin Evil Formation outside, how shall we deal with it?" Sun Dafu asked.

"No rush! With the Netherworld Holy Tree here, this Extinction Yin Evil Formation can’t harm us for now," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"So we just let it exist indefinitely?" Sun Dafu asked.

"We wait," Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.

"Lord, please forgive my ignorance, but why don’t we break it now?" Sun Dafu asked.

"If I wanted to break it, I could shatter this Extinction Yin Evil Formation in an instant!" Zhang Xiaohao said with overflowing dominance.

"However, doing so would tip them off. Once the person behind the scenes realizes that the Array has been destroyed, it will become very difficult to expose him. It’s better to be proactive than reactive. Once he loses patience and makes a move, that will be his downfall!"

"What if he never makes a move?" Sun Dafu asked.

"That’s unlikely! Given that they’ve set up such a ruthless Array, they’re definitely targeting us. Since they know I’ve returned, they will not just sit back and wait. Moreover, after this period of incubation, the souls within the Extinction Yin Evil Formation have fully formed. If I’m not mistaken, I expect they’ll make their move within a couple of days," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Hmph! If they dare to come, I’ll make sure they won’t have a grave to be buried in!" Sun Dafu said with a murderous look.

"You’re no match for him! An ordinary person could never set up such an Array. If my guess is correct, the enemy has already broken through to the Late-stage Spirit Rank Xuan Master," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Late-stage Spirit Rank?" Sun Dafu asked, puzzled.

"A Xuan Master is divided into three major realms: Spirit Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank! The Early Spirit Rank corresponds to the Body Tempering Realm of a martial artist, Mid-stage Spirit corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and Late Spirit Realm corresponds to the Hundred Veins Realm! Within the same realm, Xuan Masters are invincible!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"My lord, what realm are you in now?" Sun Dafu asked.

"Guess," Zhang Xiaohao said with a mysterious smile.

"Late-stage Spirit Rank?" Sun Dafu ventured hesitantly.

Zhang Xiaohao shook his head.

"Mid-stage Spirit?" Sun Dafu continued to inquire.

Zhang Xiaohao simply lay down on the sofa, folded his arms across his chest, and looked at him teasingly.

"Could it be the Early Spirit Rank?" Sun Dafu frowned and ventured.

"Ah, Old Sun, take bigger steps, be more daring, let your imagination run wild!" Zhang Xiaohao said impatiently.

"My lord, could you be the legendary Earth Rank Master?" Sun Dafu exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded slightly in affirmation.

Sun Dafu’s body went limp, and he collapsed to the floor.

"Old Sun! Stay calm, stay composed, you know? I’m really not at ease ! I was actually considering giving you a Body Refinement method, but it seems you still need more training!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Ah! My lord, you’re incredibly mighty. My admiration for you is like the unstoppable flow of a mighty river. You’re like the cloud in the sky that profoundly illuminates my soul," Sun Dafu sycophantically praised.

"Enough, no need for flattery among our own. Take this," Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.

He casually tossed over a golden manual.

"Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill?" Sun Dafu asked dubiously.

"Yes! This is the protective Divine Skill of the Great Brightness Temple! It’s not to be imparted to anyone but the core monks. Once cultivated, the Physical Body acquires immense strength. Impervious to blade and spear, immutable by fire and water, and possessing various powerful Divine Skills," Zhang Xiaohao explained.

This Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill was something he had found on the corpse of the bald monk Hui Zhen.

During their time at the Ancient ruins, Zhang Xiaohao had suffered greatly at its hands.

Moreover, the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill was a genuine Heaven Rank Body Refinement method.

"My lord, are you really giving this to me?" Sun Dafu stammered excitedly.

He felt happiness had come so suddenly.

"Nonsense! If I give it to you, then take it. Why act like a timid girl?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the exit.

"Your subordinate thanks you for your generous gift, Lord Xie!" Sun Dafu knelt excitedly on the ground, kowtowing respectfully towards the retreating figure of Zhang Xiaohao.

"Stop acting like a timid girl. When it comes to our own, I’m always generous. Cultivate well, and don’t dishonor the name of the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill," Zhang Xiaohao’s indifferent voice came from the staircase.

"My lord, rest assured, your subordinate will cultivate earnestly and not tarnish your reputation!" Sun Dafu assured seriously.
