466 - 75: The Victor, Chen Ping’an!","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-466",466,"\u003Cp>This man, in his thirties, dressed in a vigorous outfit, looked extremely capable,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the mana aura emanating from him, it could be seen that his cultivation should be at the Middle-Stage Core Formation, akin to Zhou Xun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sword Cultivators and Thunder Cultivators are both known for their paramount battle power, today we shall see who is truly superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a Sword Cultivator, Zhou Xun also grew serious at heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not entirely ignorant about Sword Cultivators; his good brother Wang Erniu was a Sword Cultivator, who even copied his cultivation technique \"Celestial Essence Sword Technique\" for Zhou Xun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his spare time, Zhou Xun would take it out to study it briefly, thus gaining some understanding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even practiced the secret technique within it, the \"Sword Shadow Unification Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was to prevent being caught unprepared when facing a Sword Cultivator in the future,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now it seemed that it would come in handy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the secret techniques he had practiced, it could be seen that Sword Cultivators attack extremely aggressively, battling across ranks was commonplace,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>extremely hard to deal with,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man opposite Zhou Xun, even though only a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, to truly think of him as a Middle-Stage Cultivator would surely lead to great loss,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man’s real battle power absolutely did not fall short of a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun formed a hand sign with his hands, pat his waist, and with a flash of golden light, a golden disk transformed and fell into his palm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely his Middle-Grade Defensive Magical Treasure, the Golden Jade Plate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly infusing mana into it, the Golden Jade Plate hummed, flying above Zhou Xun’s head, enlarging to over ten zhang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then emitting a layer of golden light, enveloping Zhou Xun within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, Zhou Xun also held a High-Grade Defense Talisman in his hand, ready to activate at any moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him now at the Body Refining Seventh Layer, his physique comparable to a Great Demon, withstanding an attack from the Sword Cultivator opposite should not be an issue,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ensuring his safety, Zhou Xun summoned the Profound Thunder Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Cultivator on the other side appeared indifferent to defense, his mouth slightly opened, and a golden light flew out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely a Sword Pill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s hands formed a hand sign, pointing towards the Sword Pill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a cyan-gold sword instantly manifested, it was evidently his Lifebound Spirit Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the subtle waves emanating from it, it was clear this sword was extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cyan Gold Flying Sword hovered in front of the middle-aged man, its tip directly pointing at Zhou Xun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the middle-aged man spoke expressionlessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This flying sword of mine, named ’Sword Three’, will return with blood every time it is unsheathed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since achieving Core Formation, I have struck eleven times, killed nine Core Formation Cultivators, and defeated two, among them were two Late-Stage Cultivators,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist friend, you look young, your cultivation isn’t easy, it’s better to withdraw early to avoid the pain of having a flying sword in your body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Xun grew more solemn in heart; this man wasn’t talkative but was evidently an Ascetic extremely dedicated to the sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when he said this, it must truly be the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could Zhou Xun be the kind to avoid strong opponents,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, since coming into the world, he had killed more than one Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator already!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he chuckled lightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I started cultivating Dao, I have never had the habit of fleeing from battle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve long heard that Sword Cultivators are far superior to ordinary cultivators, today I shall take the chance to spar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he formed a hand sign with his hands, and pointed towards the Profound Thunder Sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Sword burst with light, instantly transforming into a blue lightning bolt, speeding towards the middle-aged man opposite,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Xun struck, the middle-aged man also commanded his Lifebound Spirit Sword to meet the attack,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two flying swords collided, simultaneously flying back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the middle-aged man’s sword which flew back over a hundred zhang before stabilizing, Zhou Xun’s Profound Thunder Sword stabilized in just fifty zhang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this first bout, Zhou Xun gained the upper hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun did not intend to get entangled as before and immediately changed his hand technique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He applied the Sword Shadow Unification Technique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Thunder Sword instantly split into twenty-seven sword lights and then merged back immediately,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the twenty-seven sword lights fused in, the Thunder Sword’s power greatly increased,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light point towards the middle-aged man, the Thunder Sword attacked again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power was several times greater than before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing this scene, the middle-aged man was greatly surprised, he forced out a mouthful of essence blood, spraying it onto his Lifebound Spirit Sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the boost from the essence blood, the middle-aged man’s Lifebound Flying Sword also greatly increased in power, once again clashing with the Profound Thunder Sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath of the energy scattered, rolling up dust and rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, a weak whimper was heard as the middle-aged man’s Lifebound Flying Sword flew back, spiraling and losing its spirit light,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently suffering significant damage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhou Xun’s Profound Thunder Sword remained unscathed, under Zhou Xun’s control, it rose again, pointing towards the middle-aged man, ready to strike,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Sword Cultivator’s mind was one with his Lifebound Spirit Sword, the damage to the Spirit Sword also injured him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Xun’s flying sword rise again, ready to attack, surprise struck him, and he hurriedly pleaded for mercy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I concede, please retract your flying sword!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Xun looked towards the referee cultivator, stunned in the distance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man then returned to his senses and loudly announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The victor is Chen Ping’an!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly, and then retrieved his Thunder Sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Zhou Xun successfully won five rounds of combat and secured a spot in entering the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations to Daoist Chen for defeating five opponents in a row, securing a spot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe flew over, cupping his hands with a hearty smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By luck, by luck!\" Zhou Xun cupped his hands back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Anx Yudao, a humble Steward of the Righteous Alliance, today Daoist Chen’s brilliance has truly convinced me, so I’ve come to make acquaintances!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Anx’s name precedes you, I have long wanted to make your acquaintance, but feared disturbing you, today seems to be a stroke of luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forming a friendship with Daoist Chen is truly Anx’s great fortune, just regret that important matters call, preventing me from conversing freely with you, this is my communication secret talisman,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the magical combat matters conclude, I’ll seek you out again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>said the middle-aged man, taking out a glittering blue talisman, handing it to Zhou Xun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun likewise took out his own communication talisman, and after exchanging with the middle-aged man, they parted ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having successfully secured the spot, with time still early, nearly thirty more stages outside the market were still in battle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qi, with good fortune, was already participating in his final battle at this moment, his opponent being an Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivator,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed taking him down would be no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Qi defeated his opponent, securing the seventeenth spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Chen, seeing you come over so early, it seems you’ve secured your spot already,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun heard this and smiled, nodding his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, smiling: \"Yes, indeed, I have,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To have gained your acquaintance, Daoist Chen, is truly my fortune, only unfortunate that I have other duties to attend to and cannot stay,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man said, taking out a sparkling blue talisman, handing it to Zhou Xun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successfully securing a spot, it was still early, with nearly thirty arenas outside the market continuing battles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed no problem at all for Su Qi to win his match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, within just a cup of tea’s time, Su Qi defeated his opponent and secured a spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this, Zhou Xun nodded with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they together went to observe other arena battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until nightfall that the forty spots were finally selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1407,"2026-06-02T11:38:42.696Z",1,"novelbin.me","b8e1ad4c8bd6f40c0b487802bdbfb3356ffa8e6beaec16cac80fd16dddca484c","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-467","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-465",564,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-cover.jpg"]
