Chapter 66: Ancestral Aperture Initially Formed, Immortal Sword and Hero

"Pfft!"

A streak of crimson light flew out from Zhang Xuan's hand, but before it had traveled even a zhang, it snapped back into his palm.

In that area of about a zhang, a fly wobbled and fell to the ground, its life completely extinguished.

"I reckon I must be the first person in history to use Divine Power to swat a fly!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and laughed; having achieved several major breakthroughs in his strength and realm in succession, he felt immense joy in his heart, longing to look up and let out a long roar, to show off his prowess before others.

But situated in a bustling residential complex, even with such surging passion in his heart, he had to temporarily suppress the impulse.

At most, he could only manipulate his Divine Power to kill the flies and mosquitoes in the complex.

At the very least, on the floor where Zhang Xuan lived, the corresponding mosquitoes and the like had been wiped out entirely.

"Sigh, that is why one needs to have the appropriate cultivation; the environment would be much more comfortable. Now, while I am safe here, the surroundings are basically all mortals."

Zhang Xuan sighed slightly, feeling a little regretful.

However, he quickly cast aside this stray thought; everything has its gains and losses, this is inevitable.

Being able to make such great strides in his cultivation within such a peaceful and stable environment was already a tremendous blessing for him; he could not ask for too much, how could one have it both ways?

Now he had gained enough; his Bitter Sea was already about the size of two buckets, and a Life Spring was gushing out from within.

Although the surrounding Darkness of the Bitter Sea was still boundless, overall, it could be considered that he had stepped onto a stable path.

His physical body had also become extremely strong, possessing tens of thousands of catties of force with ease.

At the very least, in his excitement, Zhang Xuan tried using only his physical strength without any other power, and he could lift any object in his home.

He could easily lift the solid wood coffee table and dining table with one hand.

The Nine Apertures and the newly opened Ancestral Aperture of the Brow had become very stable during this round of changes, and the Energy Secret Treasury, Vitality Secret Treasury, and Spirit Secret Treasury formed by the Nine Apertures were all extremely stable.

The small heaven and earth inside the human body were stable to an incredible degree; after all, these three secret treasuries were formed according to the condition of the human body.

With the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and other corresponding organs being strong, the resulting energy and vitality were abundant, and with a powerful primordial spirit, the Spirit Secret Treasury was naturally extremely formidable.

With the Ancestral Aperture of the Brow as the core, his perception of the magnificent external world was very clear; Zhang Xuan felt that as long as he wished, he could make contact between his Inner Heaven and Earth and the vast external world at any time.

Moreover, he did not need to go through much tempering to ascend in one step and directly achieve the Outer Scene, without having to go through the so-called half-step Outer Scene in between.

It was just that Zhang Xuan temporarily suppressed this impulse of his; achieving the Outer Scene required undergoing a tribulation, and the commotion would be no small matter.

He was in a busy downtown area now; if he were to undergo a tribulation here, it wouldn't be showing off before others, but courting death. He didn't know how many people would die because of his tribulation, and then the trouble would be huge.

The Relevant Departments would all come to invite him for tea.

"I must find an uninhabited area, no, I should go to another world to undergo the tribulation."

The surface of Earth was peaceful and stable, but powerful cultivators were still hidden within.

If possible, Zhang Xuan did not want to expose his own uniqueness to others; he did not have very strong power right now, and his ability to save his own life was not very strong either.

He still preferred to be cautious; if he could avoid exposing his uniqueness, he would try his best not to.

If he currently had the ability of the Immortal Three Dao-Severing level, Zhang Xuan would absolutely not hesitate to put on a show of power, flying into the sky to display his uniqueness.

After all, reaching the Immortal Three Dao-Severing level meant one could basically walk sideways on Earth; as long as one didn't go to the Kunlun Longmai to court death, one basically wouldn't die.

But wasn't his realm not high enough right now?

Then he had to learn to be low-key.

"Sigh, life is always so sorrowful; joy is hard to share with others."

Zhang Xuan: 【@Zhang Sanfeng, True Person Zhang, I have also opened the Ancestral Aperture of the Brow and can break through to the Outer Scene immediately; teach me your experience!】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): 【Still struggling before the Seven Apertures, my tears fall uncontrollably...】

The Hero (Li Xiaoyao): 【Is cultivation really this easy? Why do I feel it's so hard!】

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years (Chen Nan): 【Damn, you're Tier 3? This speed is too fast, it's a bit ridiculous!】

Chen Nan looked astonished, his face full of confusion.

He had currently only opened the seven apertures of eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue, and had only initially opened the Energy Secret Treasury and Vitality Secret Treasury; from this perspective, his progress was even a step slower than Zhang Xuan's.

It was mainly because the Mysterious Technique he originally practiced had already given him a strong understanding of the body, and his physical reinforcement had reached a very high level; it was difficult to switch to the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique halfway, and only now had he touched upon some of the basics.

Zhang Xuan: 【Oh, it's nothing, far worse than True Person Zhang. True Person Zhang reached the limit very quickly and broke through to the Outer Scene; I still need some time to temper myself!】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): 【The big shot is showing off again! Comparing people really can anger one to death.】

The Hero (Li Xiaoyao): 【Big shot 666!】

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years (Chen Nan): 【Speaking of which, you've been appearing for so long, but I'm not familiar with you at all. Where do you actually come from? Can you introduce yourself?】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): 【Curiosity plus one!】

"Uh~"

Zhang Xuan also froze for a moment, only then realizing that although Li Xiaoyao had joined the Chat Group long ago, because Chen Nan and Li Xiaoyao had joined the Chat Group at the same time, his main energy had been on Qingdi, and he hadn't paid much attention to Li Xiaoyao, so Li Xiaoyao hadn't even given a proper self-introduction.

In the entire Chat Group, apart from himself knowing that the world Li Xiaoyao was in was Legend of Sword and Fairy, no one else understood it at all.

"I need to make up for this!"

Zhang Xuan: 【Curiosity plus one! Big shot, give us a self-introduction; it's best if you send a round of Red Packets too. These are essentials for newcomers; Qingdi went through this, aren't you going to do it?】

In Yuhang Town, Li Xiaoyao, who was preparing to send some wine to Zhang Sanfeng staying at the inn, was stunned for a moment.

The reason he didn't introduce himself or provide more information when he first joined the Chat Group was that he thought the Chat Group might be some kind of con artist or a strange trick.

Now, after practicing the introductory chapter of the Dao Scripture, his trust in the Chat Group had actually increased a lot, and he was actually thinking about describing his own situation.

Plus, having seen Zhang Sanfeng undergo a tribulation before his eyes a few days ago and introduce himself in the Chat Group, he had been amazed by the Chat Group at that time.

It was just that he had been busy trying to curry favor with Zhang Sanfeng these days, so he had forgotten about it for a moment.

Now that he was asked, he thought about the Chat Group's claim that it would show many future destinies, and his heart stirred.

The Hero (Li Xiaoyao): 【Actually, I've always wanted to introduce myself, but I forgot several times, and you all didn't remember me...】

After playing the victim to explain the reason without causing resentment, Li Xiaoyao continued to explain.

The Hero (Li Xiaoyao): 【My name is Li Xiaoyao, born in Yuhang Town. Yuhang Town is just a small fishing village; the people around all make a living by fishing, but I don't fish. Since I was young, I have relied on my aunt to survive, and we run an inn together.】

【I have always had a dream of being The Hero in my heart, thinking that in the future I could become a generation's The Hero and travel the jianghu. I wonder if I will have the chance to become The Hero in the future? Does anyone here know my destiny?】

At Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi looked at this self-introduction with a strange expression on his face: "Li Xiaoyao? Yuhang Town? Isn't this Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Thinking of Legend of Sword and Fairy, Meng Qi could not help but think of that woman full of immortal aura and spirituality; she was the shared dream of a generation of shut-ins.

"Zhao Ling'er!"

Zhang Xuan: 【I might know a little!】

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: 【I also know a little! At the same time, I also want to know if you have been to Xianling Island? Has any strange Daoist wanted to teach you sword techniques?】

Meng Qi actually had some different thoughts in his heart; he wanted to go and see that former top beauty, but after thinking about his own future grievances and entanglements, he sighed inexplicably.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: 【Forget it, forget it. I should be very familiar with the world of the former Legend of Sword and Fairy. Describe some specific details about the world you are in for me, so I can see if it is the TV series version or the game version.】

I Want to Be The Hero: 【... Although I can understand every single word you said individually, why am I so confused when they are put together?】

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth could not help but twitch. He looked at the Chat Group backend panel and could immediately confirm that this Li Xiaoyao came from the TV series version of Legend of Sword and Fairy, though of course, he could not say so directly.

Like Meng Qi, he asked about some details related to Yuhang Town, and then confirmed that Li Xiaoyao was an existence from the TV series version.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: 【I think I have confirmed the corresponding situation. I have already depicted the situation of the world as I know it. The Chat Group has already evolved it into a grand world. You can go take a look yourself; I have sent it to you.】

In the Chat Group, Li Xiaoyao looked at the relevant message privately sent to him by Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi, his expression slightly nervous.

He had some understanding of the rules and situations related to the Chat Group, but when someone really predicted his future and the future of the world he was in, and all of this was placed right in front of him—

His mood still could not help but become nervous involuntarily. The heart in his chest was thumping, the sound like a beating drum, making his ears buzz.

After hesitating for a moment, his curiosity about the future still outweighed his fear.

He clicked on that ancient scroll named Legend of Sword and Fairy.

"Did I become a generation's jianghu The Hero in the future? Did I uphold justice in the jianghu and make a name for myself?"

In an instant, countless pieces of information turned into streams of light and surged into his mind, and a grand world unfolded before him.
