Chapter 638: Prepare for War, War Begins Again

Geng essence!

This is an excellent spiritual ore for increasing the attack power of magic weapons.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is simply a priceless item.

If Chen Xuan's ancient dragon-subduing sword could be infused with some Geng essence, its attack power would definitely be much higher than before.

By then, both the attack power of the single-mouthed Dragon Subduing Ancient Sword and the attack power of the Tiangang Sword Formation will be increased compared to before.

This is a huge temptation for Chen Xuan.

What's more, the Geng Essence in front of him is the rarest and best Geng Essence among all Geng Essences.

Incorporating it into your natal magic weapon will increase the power of your natal magic weapon even more.

"If it were anything else, I definitely wouldn't want it. But I really can't refuse this top-grade Geng essence."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

But soon, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zimang, you also know that my life magic weapon is a set of flying swords. This piece of top-grade Geng essence may not be enough. You see..."

"Haha, Junior Brother Chen, I have thought of this a long time ago. In addition to the rewards given to you by Daoist Fellow Yao and the other two, since you are representing the sect in this battle, we in the Yuling Sect must also express our gratitude."

True Man Zimang laughed loudly, flipped his hand, took out a goose egg-sized piece of top-quality Geng essence and handed it to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was suddenly overjoyed.

With this piece of top-grade Geng essence, it is enough for Chen Xuan to refine 108 ancient dragon-subduing swords again.

"If that's the case, I have nothing to say. I agree to this competition."

"I wonder when this competition will start?"

Since it concerns his own life, Chen Xuan cannot be careless.

Taking this opportunity, I asked in detail about the tournament.

"Junior brother, we have fought Master Hulan twice in a row. Although we managed to win each battle, we also suffered a lot of losses."

"As for Master Hulan's losses, they are greater than ours."

"So, although the two sides seem to be on the verge of a war, they will not easily go to war for a while."

"As for the competition, it will be held in a month. This is enough time for you to make some preparations."

Master Zimang explained.

Chen Xuan nodded.

A month may not seem like a long time, but it is enough time for Chen Xuan to incorporate the Geng essence he obtained into the Ancient Sword of Subduing the Dragon.

What's more, when True Man Zimang came over this time, he even called True Man Huo Ya, who was good at refining weapons, over.

I'm afraid he had already made up his mind to ask True Man Fire Crow to help Chen Xuan re-refine the Ancient Dragon Sword before Chen Xuan participated in the competition.

"In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Huo Ya to lend me a hand." Chen Xuan smiled and looked at True Man Huo Ya.

"Junior brother, you are so polite. This time, if it weren't for you to turn the tide, our Yuling Sect would have suffered a huge loss. I feel honored to do something for you, junior brother." True Man Huo Ya said with a smile.

In order not to waste Chen Xuan's time, everyone chatted briefly and then said goodbye and left.

Only Wu Zhaomei and Fire Crow stayed behind.

True Man Fire Crow wants to refine 108 ancient dragon-subduing swords for Chen Xuan. As for Wu Zhaomei, it seems that she has something to say to Chen Xuan.

"Senior Brother, please help me study how to refine the Ancient Dragon Sword again. I'll be back soon!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Please make yourself at your own convenience, Junior Brother."

True Man Fire Crow agreed and went straight to the secret room for refining weapons.

Soon, Chen Xuan came to the secret room where Wu Zhaomei was.

hum!

With a wave of his hand, the protective formation in the secret room was fully activated.

"Mei'er, do you have something to talk to me about?" Chen Xuan said.

Wu Zhaomei nodded, but her eyes became very solemn.

"My husband, you have made a big splash in the Seven Kingdoms this time. I'm afraid Master Hulan has been thinking about you for a long time."

"Although this time, you are asked to compete in the competition, and it seems that three Yuanying stage cultivators are here. If I am not mistaken, this is probably the request of Master Hulan."

"As for the reasons, I'm not very clear about them, but I can guess a little."

When Wu Zhaomei said this, her expression became extremely complicated.

Seeing that Chen Xuan looked normal, she continued, "My husband, in these two battles, although we, the cultivators of Linhe Province, seem to have the upper hand, in fact, many of our fellow Taoists were still captured by Master Hulan."

"These fellow Taoists are not only from the seven major immortal cultivation sects, but also from other sects and immortal cultivation families. The sects and families involved are countless."

"And Master Hulan used these hostages as stakes for this competition. He asked us, the cultivators of Linhe Province, to accept the challenge. We had no way of refusing."

"So, even though we already knew that this was a trap set by Master Hulan against us, we had no choice but to jump into it."

When Chen Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"I never thought that there would be such a great master among the Hulan Masters. Those captured Taoist friends came from different forces."

"Although these fellow Taoists' cultivation is not very good, the forces they represent are extremely complex."

"If anyone dares to oppose this, they will definitely be opposed by everyone. This is equivalent to incurring public outrage."

"No wonder Senior Yao and the others designated me to participate in the battle this time."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.

At this point, Chen Xuan could only make more preparations and respond to all changes with the same attitude.

"My dear, although I don't have complete evidence, this is a trap set against you. But you still have to be careful."

"Also, keep these things to save your life."

Wu Zhaomei flipped her hand and took out a dozen top-grade formation-breaking talismans and handed them to Chen Xuan.

Although the array-breaking talisman is an auxiliary talisman, it is of great help in breaking array formations.

Because of this, the formation-breaking talisman is also an extremely difficult item to obtain.

Especially the top-grade formation-breaking talisman, which is something that cannot be bought even with spirit stones.

Wu Zhaomei took out a dozen top-grade formation-breaking talismans at once and gave them to Chen Xuan, which made Chen Xuan feel warm in his heart.

"Thank you, Mei'er. Don't worry, I will definitely focus on saving my own life in the ring!" Chen Xuan said.

"Then I'm relieved. Husband, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll go back first."

Wu Zhaomei smiled sweetly.

After giving Chen Xuan a sweet kiss, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared quickly.

Chen Xuan stood quietly in the secret room for a long time. After carefully thinking about what Wu Zhaomei said, his brows suddenly frowned.

"Master Hulan set up a trap against me? Isn't this overestimating me? Mei'er is really worried and confused!"

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head.

Although he also felt that the probability that Master Hulan was deliberately targeting him was low.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Soon, Chen Xuan returned to the secret weapon refining room, and together with True Man Huo Ya, he was busy adding Geng essence into the 108 ancient dragon-subduing swords.

……

Seven Kingdoms City, in the council hall.

Yao Fenghou, Jiangu and Xukongzi stood opposite each other.

However, at this moment, the three of them were silent, and no one wanted to speak first.

After a long while, Yao Fenghou coughed lightly and said, "My two fellow Taoists, you have already read the challenge letter from Master Hulan. They specifically named Fellow Taoist Chen from the Yuling Sect to participate in the competition. There must be something fishy going on. What do you two fellow Taoists think?"

His sword-like brows raised, and a hint of coldness emerged from the depths of his eyes.

"Haha, I have received the news a long time ago. The three great masters among the Hulan Masters have gathered outside the Seven Kingdoms City. The reason why they are so arrogant in threatening us is obviously because they are targeting the three of us."

"Although Fellow Daoist Chen is an outstanding junior among the Jindan stage cultivators, I'm afraid it was just a side effect in order to set up a trap against Fellow Daoist Chen."

Upon hearing this, Xukongzi nodded in agreement.

"Killing one Fellow Daoist Chen will have little impact on the entire battle situation. If any of the three of us were seriously injured or killed, it would be a huge loss for the entire Linhe Province."

"It seems that we must be fully prepared this time. This time, we can no longer hide the unique abilities of the seven great immortal cultivation sects."

"If we cannot destroy Mage Hulan in this battle, I'm afraid the battle between us and Mage Hulan will not end for a long time."

Yao Fenghou remained silent, but in his heart he agreed with these words.

After a long while, Yao Fenghou said again: "This time, Master Hulan launched a massive attack on our Linhezhou Xiuxian world, which seems to be somewhat unusual."

"Especially during this period, the demon cultivators, Mage Hulan, who participated in the war, were extremely strange. Fellow Daoists, what do you think is the purpose of Mage Hulan's massive invasion of our Linhezhou Cultivation World?"

Jian Gu smiled coldly, but a sharp sword sound came from his body.

"I don't care what these Hulan mages are up to. If they dare to invade our Linhezhou cultivation world, I will be the first one to not give up."

"We must not only fight this battle, but we must win it."

Xukongzi also sneered and said, "Old Jiangu is right. At this point, we have no way out and can only win. Therefore, this battle will still be dominated by the seven major immortal cultivator sects in Linhezhou."

"In that case, I will notify the Yuanying Daoists from the seven major immortal cultivation sects in Linhezhou to come here and have them take out their sect treasures in front of us."

"Haha, this time, we will make Master Hulan pay a heavy price."

Yao Fenghou also sneered.

As he spoke, he took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and then quickly activated it.

Soon, in Qiguo City, Nascent Soul stage warriors representing the seven major immortal cultivation sects in Linhe Province appeared in the meeting hall one after another.

……

A month later, a burst of intensive drumbeats suddenly sounded from the Seven Kingdoms City.

Soon, all the cultivators who were in seclusion came out of the secret room and appeared in their respective battle positions in an orderly manner.

Chen Xuan is no exception.

As one of the ten immortal cultivators participating in this competition, Chen Xuan, together with the other nine people, gathered at the south gate of Qiguo City.

At this moment, in an open space outside the South City Gate, ten huge arenas have been successfully built.

In addition to Chen Xuan and others who participated in the battle, the Linhezhou Immortal Cultivation World and Master Hulan each sent a Jindan stage strongman to preside over the formation to prevent the other side from cheating in the formation.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept across the ring and quickly retracted.

At this moment, a terrifying pressure from the late Nascent Soul stage suddenly emerged from Master Hulan's base camp and shot towards the sky above the Seven Kingdoms City.

This made Chen Xuan and others all change color.
