A month quickly passed in a blink of an eye and Zixin finally left his closed doors training. His height had reduced to about 1.8 meters but his muscles had grown larger and more defined than before. His skin looked soft and supple but was actually harder than steel.
'The Fourth Volume is a bit difficult andmplicated so it will take some time for me tomplete it but no hurry, time is on my side.' thought Zixin.
The Fourth Volumensisted ofllecting different dung of different species. It sounded easy enough but was actually difficult, Zixin had tollect dung from Overlord Beasts which were equivalent to Unification Realm experts and from seven specific species.
Any Overlord Beast with the bloodline of the Ancient Black Turtle, dung from Armament Armadillo, Deep River Crdile, Ancient Shell Snail, Armoured Pangolin, Red Spotted Whale Shark and the Three Horned Rhinoceros. Either the actual beast or a beast with its bloodline would do but it had to be an Overlord Beast's dung.
[Ding! Host has successfully captured the Burning Flesh attack. (×7054)] sounded the System Notification.
'Seven thousand times, no wonder I almost went crazy from the pain.' thought Zixin while walking out of his cultivation mountain. Once outside, he found Di, the disciple who'd given him the sect's tour.
"Di, what brings you here?" he asked.
"Senior, I was sent here by the Holy Son, he said he wants to see you and had me wait for you here and lead you to him." answered Di
"Guo wants to see him... okay let's go."
"This way Senior Brother."
Di led Zixin further and further away from the sect, and the further away from the sect, the taller the mountains became. They travelled till they reached a mountain so tall, it wasvered in clouds. Di then took out Guo's token and a minor teleportation array below them activated.
When they reappeared, they were beside a pond filled withlourful fish that Guo washerently feeding. The air was fresh and sweet, making one take deep breaths again and again.
"Brother Zixin, you'veme." said Guo with a smile. He was nowmpletely different from when Zixin last saw him. Now, Guo looked mature, handsome and with a bearing of an immortal, unfazed by mortal affairs. Zixin sat beside him on the bench.
"Guo, you've changed and why do I feel like you've gotten way stronger than when we parted?"
"I decided to stop lacking off after that day and naturally made some improvements. I'm now at the peak of the Core Formation Realm, with enough accumulation and preparations, I'll attempt to break through to the Soul Formation Realm."
"Wow, you've really improved a lot. It seems you're not a Holy Son for nothing. My gains in the sect aren't low either, can't wait to tell Ai about my improvements." said Zixin with a bright smile.
"About that, I actually called you here to discuss a matter with you in regards to Ai. A few months ago, I received a report from the sect that many of our side branches had been breached and destroyed by the righteous sects. Many of our brothels, human smuggling and blood pills distribution were heavilympromised."
"Guo, what are you trying to say exactly?"
"Brother Zixin, Ai is dead, shemmitted suicide. Arding to the report, the righteous sects, there were traces of Pink Powder so it's assumed they used it on her to try and sleep with her, she naturally wasn't willing to be defiled by those old geezers and killed herself."
"WHAT?! WHAT'S PINK POWDER?!"
"It's a Poison Aphrodisiac that once inside the body, the only cure is to exchange yin and yang otherwise you'll go mad and sleep with anything youme across."
Gurgle* Gurgle* Gurgle*
The sound of flowing water rang out,nfusing Guo who quickly chucked the pond but it hadn't any leaks.
'Strange...' thought Guo and Zixin grabbed his shoulder and almost broke it.
"Guo, are the righteous sects bullying me?"
"...I-I guess so..." stuttered Guo. It was his first time seeing someone with such high vitality, it was like he was in the presence of a Three Star Domain Beast.
"I want them gone. I want all the eighties sects to disappear. Can you help me with that?"
"Zixin, these people are powerful, influential and with the largest number of disciples and elders. Provoking the Righteous Sects leads only to death, especially when you cross their bottom line. Zixin, please rnsider." said Guo in a serious tone.
"I want a map, all Righteous Sects marked on it and also with their rating. That's all I need from you." said Zixin with a slightly crazed and cruel expression.
"Brother Zixin, I won't allow you to throw away your life. I'll use my Authority as the Holy Son to stop you."
"Guo, do you want me to challenge you? Yes or no?" suddenly asked Zixin. Guo wanted to nod but remembering Su Long's end, he refrained from doing so.
"Fine, I'll help you. Di, fetch the match with marked sects locations and their ratings. Zixin, you're really stubborn and plain stupid." said Guo. Zixin didn't respond and patiently waited for Di to give him the map. After Di returned, Zixin took the map and prepared to leave.
"Mhm." nodded Zixin before jumping off the mountain, leaving spider cracks and footprints on the ground.
Guo rushed to the edge of the mountain and used his token to disperse the clouds temporarily. Then he saw Zixin falling at high speed and didn't know what to do.
The mountain shook about about a minute before calming down and when Guo checked for Zixin, he was already far away.
'Oh my goodness! Just what kind of Body Training Method is he training in?!' he thought.
"Master, are you just going to let him off after he threatened you?" asked Di.
"What choice do I have?"
"I can deal with him for you if you let me." sounded a female voice before a veiled female appeared behind Guo like a ghost.
"I've always been good at judging people and I can tell you with certainty that Zixin isn't a good person. If you fail to kill him then he'll stop at nothing to get revenge, like he's doing now. Keep track of him for me, I think it's time I entered the Soul Formation Realm."
