Chapter 12 Ji Chang, Marquis of Xibo
Li Xuanchen's gaze fell on the sword.
The so-called treasured sword is actually just a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.
It's just that the sword contains a divine power of Yun Zhongzi, a Great Immortal.
So, by wielding this sword, one can achieve the effect of slaying demons and eliminating evil.
"Xuanwang, what are you doing?" Yun Zhongzi exclaimed as he watched Li Xuanchen draw his sword.
Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't take an ordinary mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure seriously.
However, if Li Xuanchen, a "Great Luo Golden Immortal," were to make a move against him, the situation would be entirely different.
Li Xuanchen didn't even glance at Yun Zhongzi.
He simply flicked his finger lightly, his fingertip touching the tip of the sword.
This mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure shattered directly into specks of golden light.
In terms of sheer power, there is not much difference between acquired spiritual treasures and innate spiritual treasures of the same grade.
However, since acquired spiritual treasures lack the innate, indestructible spiritual light...
Therefore, in terms of strength, it is inferior to innate spiritual treasures.
For Li Xuanchen, a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure...
It can be shattered directly by infusing it with some power of laws.
Li Xuanchen then looked at Yun Zhongzi.
"Alright, Taoist priest, the sword is gone now."
"Master, there's no need for you to stay here any longer. Please leave."
Yun Zhongzi was clearly astonished by Li Xuanchen's feat of annihilating a mid-grade spiritual treasure with a flick of his finger.
She stared at him blankly for a moment, then managed to squeeze out a single word, "Xuan..."
But before he could finish speaking, Li Xuanchen waved at him.
The next moment, Yun Zhongzi was sent flying uncontrollably.
It transformed directly into a shooting star and flew to the horizon.
"Just leave when I tell you to, why all the nonsense?"
Li Xuanchen lowered his hand again, and Daji, who was nestled in his arms, nuzzled his palm with her head in a coaxing manner.
Bi Gan looked at Li Xuanchen with some hesitation.
"Your Highness, that person was ultimately a disciple of a great sect."
Is this approach somewhat inappropriate?
Bigan knew that many of the great religions had practitioners with extraordinary supernatural powers.
He feared that offending the great religion would be detrimental to the Shang dynasty's rule.
Li Xuanchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, unless that sect leader personally takes action..."
Otherwise, no matter how great a religion it is, it wouldn't be able to harm the Shang Dynasty in the slightest.
As for when that cult leader personally intervened, I'm afraid I had already reached a level of profound skill.
Li Xuanchen didn't say the second half of the sentence; he only needed to reassure the people of Da Shang.
Bi Gan nodded after hearing Li Xuanchen's words.
He also felt that the lofty, legendary leader of the great religion would not possibly attack the Shang Dynasty.
With His Highness Prince Xuan here, the Great Shang Dynasty can rest easy.
Li Xuanchen looked at Di Xin and said, "Zishou, now that this matter is settled, I will return first."
"Uncle, please take care." Di Xin said to Li Xuanchen.
Back at the Xuanwang Mansion, Daji transformed back into human form, wearing a white gauze dress.
Leaning against Li Xuanchen, she said softly,
"Your Majesty, was that Taoist priest there to kill me?"
Li Xuanchen nodded. "Yes, that's Yun Zhongzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect."
His cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, without my intervention...
You're probably going to get beaten to a pulp by him.
Li Xuanchen's words were obviously meant to frighten Daji; without Li Xuanchen,
Daji had probably already seduced King Zhou, and with his protection,
Yun Zhongzi would only return empty-handed, after all, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal...
The backlash from attacking the King of Men would be enough to give him a hard time.
However, upon hearing that it was a Great Immortal, Daji's beautiful face immediately turned pale.
Looking at Daji, Li Xuanchen gently lifted her chin.
"What, you vixen, are you afraid of something?"
Daji snapped out of her daze, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a hint of allure.
"Your Majesty is too kind. I am but a lowly Golden Immortal."
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's protection."
As she spoke, Daji lowered her head and put one of Li Xuanchen's fingers into her mouth.
Feeling the touch on his fingertips, Li Xuanchen's gaze fell on Daji.
He beckoned with his finger and then pulled it out of Daji's mouth.
He stood up and walked into the house. "It's time to cultivate."
……
Yun Zhongzi was sent flying tens of thousands of miles away by Li Xuanchen's attack, directly out of the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Finally, it crashed violently into a mountain range.
He crawled out of the mountain in a very disheveled state, his face showing a hint of lingering fear.
This is what a Great Luo Golden Immortal is; this would be an ordinary Golden Immortal.
That one blow was enough to completely obliterate his physical body.
In other words, the Great Luo Golden Immortal's Dao Fruit is eternal, which is why the physical body has not collapsed.
"Just what level of cultivation does this Xuan King possess?"
Why was I completely powerless to resist when he attacked me just now?
Could he truly be a quasi-saint who has attained enlightenment? But when exactly did such a powerful being appear in this world?
The expression on Yun Zhongzi's face lingered for a long time.
The number of people in this world with great supernatural powers is limited.
For most living beings, achieving the quasi-saint level is considered proof of enlightenment.
Only those born with divine innate abilities can aspire to the legendary Primordial Dao Fruit and the Great Dao of the Sage.
However, those who can cultivate to become quasi-saints are mostly innate saints who were born in the same era as their teacher, Yuanshi Tianzun.
How could there be an extra person out of nowhere?
Yun Zhongzi couldn't understand it, but he gradually sorted out his thoughts.
At least he's not dead yet, which means that this Xuan King has no intention of killing him.
Or perhaps he didn't want to offend the Chan Sect, so as long as he didn't go in front of them again, he should be fine.
He didn't know how far away he was from the Shang Dynasty, and he had to hurry back.
The chosen one his teacher predicted would soon be born.
……
Xiqi,
At this moment, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was sitting in the main hall of his mansion.
Although it was called a marquis's residence, it was built to rival the royal palace of Chaoge.
Even the main hall of this Marquis's mansion, viewed from the inside, is more magnificent than the main hall of the royal palace.
Bo Yikao, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xibo, looked at Ji Chang and said,
"Father, I fear that Emperor Xin's summons of you and the other three feudal lords to an audience this time is motivated by malice."
Ji Chang waved his hand when he heard Boyi Kao's words.
"Jizhou Marquis Su Hu had just recently rebelled against the Shang dynasty."
How could I not know the dangers of this journey?
That Emperor Xin was cruel; he had previously tortured the daughter of the Marquis of Ji Province to death.
If I, as your father, do not go, I fear he will bring harm to the people of Xiqi.
He is the ruler, and I, as his father, am his subject; this journey is unavoidable.
Ji Chang was dressed in luxurious clothes, and his face showed an expression of concern for the country and its people.
"Moreover, Your Majesty has gone astray; as a subject..."
It is my duty to advise him and guide him onto the right path.
Ji Fa, standing to the side, noticed that his father's gaze was fixed on his eldest brother.
He quickly spoke up, saying, "Father, this journey is likely fraught with danger. I urge you to reconsider."
Ji Chang simply nodded at him.
He was well-versed in the art of divination and had already cast a divination for himself.
Although this journey is fraught with danger, it will ultimately turn out to be very auspicious.
He had a deep feeling that after this, he would have the opportunity to realize his desires.
Ji Chang looked at Boyi Kao and spoke,
"Bo Yikao, you are the eldest son. During my absence, I entrust everything of Xiqi to you."
