The Sultan left the sword faction and returned to the Alchemist Association.

Chen Yao muttered as he tightly gripped the Green Leaf Jade Pendant and looked in the direction of Chang An City.

"Yiyi, wait for me."

In fact, Chen Yao was very clear that the problem for him and Su Yiyi right now was not whether the Sudan would support them, but whether the cultivation world would support them.

The Half-Demon Bloodline might have appeared a thousand years ago in the Divine Lands. However, it was only a fleeting sight, and the final result was a bad ending.

In other words, it would be worse to say that they would die a horrible death. A thousand years later, not a single one of them would appear. Chen Yao's half-demon bloodline would attract the attention of all the cultivators in the Divine Province sooner or later.

And when that time came, even the sword faction and the Western Heart Temple would no longer continue to be his strong backers. At that time, he would be alone, facing the siege of the entire cultivation world.

Fate was unfair, allowing Chen Yao to have a half-demon bloodline and be discriminated against by the cultivation world. However, fate was also fair, and having a half-demon bloodline would allow Chen Yao to have a unique cultivating bone that would increase his fighting strength by hundreds of times.

Perhaps, what Chen Yao wanted to do wasn't just to become a Saint. In front of Liu Zhi, his thoughts were a little superficial. The sultan's words had indeed sobered Chen Yao up.

Chen Yao possessed the half-demon bloodline and shouldn't have casually liked others. However, since they had already chosen to be together, Chen Yao should be able to take responsibility for his actions as a man.

He was invincible in this world.

This was something that Chen Yao had to do. Otherwise, he would not be able to protect Su Yiyi, Mu Ge, Liu Hong, and even Gu Xiaolan. Chen Yao bitterly smiled and shook his head. What virtue and ability did he possess? To think that he would be able to obtain the love and adoration of so many delicate girls.

However, the only thing Chen Yao could do now was to raise his cultivation base. If he wanted to be unrivalled in this world, he would have to climb up the stairs step by step.

Entering the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield was a great fortuitous opportunity. If it was as the sword spirit had said, then he would be able to find other fragments of the demon sword and be invincible at the early Saint level.

Thus, he had to enter the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield in order to enter the top six. If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to become an unrivalled existence in the world.

And it would be best if he could get first place. Although this goal was a bit difficult, he could still give it a try. If he could really get first place, then he would receive a high level sword skill or a high level magical equipment.

Although Chen Yao already had the Sword Drawing Arts, the Heaven's Severing Sword had been upgraded to low-grade heaven-step and he also had a sword armor, no one would ever think that he had too many high-grade magic tool sword skills.

After tidying up his disordered mood, Chen Yao left the sword faction.

They headed towards the Sword City at the foot of the mountain.

Right now, his cultivation had encountered a bottleneck. This was the first bottleneck he encountered after displaying heaven-defying talent, extremely strong Innate Ability, and rapidly advancing his cultivation level.

It was precisely because the previous cultivation had progressed too smoothly that the disease had persisted for a long time. This kind of malady had broken out, giving birth to inner demons. It was very disadvantageous to Chen Yao.

At the moment, Chen Yao's cultivation was at the peak of the Genuine Force. In other words, a whole grade eight elixir that was rarely seen in the secular world had no effect on Chen Yao's cultivation?

Of course not.

If the user's body could withstand the effects of the Grade 8 Elixir, he would be able to raise an ordinary person without any cultivation to the Emperor Stage. Or rather, he would be able to send a powerhouse who had just entered the Emperor Realm into the ranks of the semi-sage realm.

Although the majority of the Fire Ganoderma's medicinal energy had been absorbed by Chen Yao's body and meridians, even a tiny bit of it was enough to allow Chen Yao to break through the limits of the Genuine Force and reach the King's Realm.

In fact, at that time, at least half of the Fire Ganoderma's medicinal effects were still there. Let alone letting Chen Yao become a King's Realm cultivator, even becoming an Emperor was possible.

However, Chen Yao gave up. He sealed all his remaining medicinal strength in his dantian, allowing him to control the rate at which his cultivation level increased.

Chen Yao clearly understood that his journey here had been too smooth, especially the increase in his cultivation. It was simply too shocking.

He hadn't stopped at the Genuine Force for a month, and he hadn't experienced many serious battles, so he still hadn't been able to grasp the true meaning of the Genuine Force.

If the foundation was not solid, the building would collapse no matter how tall it was. Moreover, the higher the building was, the more terrifying the collapse would be.

Rashly reaching the King's Realm might seem like an increase in realm, but in reality, the gains were not worth it. Especially after that, the shortcoming of having weak foundations would appear, which would be fatal for Chen Yao, who wanted to be unrivalled throughout the world.

That was why Chen Yao had deliberately suppressed his own cultivation.

If he had not experienced the stimulating battles and was familiar with the power of the Genuine Force, Chen Yao would never have increased his level if he had not dealt with the inner demons.

Once these problems were solved, Chen Yao could advance to the King's Realm at any time.

In other words, Chen Yao's current problem was not his martial skills, nor his physical body, but rather his state of mind as a martial artist.

If this problem was not solved, it was very likely that Chen Yao would go berserk during his training of sword techniques or cultivation techniques, and he would be doomed for sure.

Thus, Chen Yao decided to temporarily stop practicing his swordsmanship and chose to concoct pills instead.

Pill refining would allow him to calm down for the time being, and he had used up almost all of the healing pellets he had previously refined. With the Sword Rankings approaching, if he had a powerful healing pellet as support, it would be an extremely good choice.

In two years, he would be heading to Chang An City to participate in the young apothecary competition, so he couldn't afford to neglect this technique of alchemy.

There was a small scale transfer array between the sword faction and the sword city. Ordinary disciples didn't have the qualifications to use it, but Chen Yao was already the Peak Master of the Sword Sect's Servant Peak and was on equal footing with the Inner Sect Master Liu Hai.

It would take at least a few hours to go to the Sword City on foot to purchase medicinal ingredients. Chen Yao's time was simply too precious; he couldn't waste it on such meaningless matters.

Thus, Chen Yao decided to use the teleportation formation.

The sword faction's transfer array was located at Heavenly Sword Peak, so Chen Yao left the servant mountain and headed in the direction of Heavenly Sword Peak.

Although these disciples still needed to do some chores, most of their time could be used for cultivation. Although the spiritual energy on the peak was sparse, these service disciples were already able to practice the sword techniques of the sword sect, which made them very satisfied.

They all knew very well that all of this was because of Chen Yao.

If not for Chen Yao, how could they have the qualifications to practice the sword techniques and cultivation techniques of the sword sect? In addition, in the Broken Sword City, in order to help the disciples of He Yuan, who had died, get justice, the matter of Chen Yao killing thirteen Sword Sect inner disciples was spread throughout the sword faction.

These service disciples felt a great sense of warmth, thus, they were even more grateful to Chen Yao.

When Chen Yao passed by, these disciples would all stop practicing their sword techniques and bow to him.

Although Chen Yao was not used to this feeling, he still tacitly accepted it. It was not that he liked this feeling, but rather, he wanted these service disciples to feel at ease.

In just three short months, the Servant Peak, which originally did not have a single Mortal Realm disciple, had already surged over a hundred Qi warrior disciples. Especially those who were at the peak of the Physical Martial Realm, it already exceeded half of the total number of service disciples.

Originally, there weren't even any Qi realm disciples in the Servant Peak. There were only a few experts in the peak of the Body realm. The current development almost exceeded everyone's expectations in the sword faction.

Especially the sword faction higher ups, they were practically shocked.

However, Chen Yao felt that this was completely understandable.

The number of service disciples was the most in the sword faction, and the reason why these disciples became service disciples, was because their talent in the sword dao was not good, but it was not the most important reason. Their diligence was enough to make up for their lack of talent, and what was preventing them from doing so was their lowly status, because their births were not noble enough, so the sword faction rejected them and placed them outside the door, working on the service peak, burying many outstanding seeds.

These disciples had been suppressing their strength in the Servant Peak for several years, and they were already holding their breath in their hearts, as they became more and more aware of the importance of strength. Therefore, when they could obtain the qualifications and cultivation resources like the sword faction's official disciples, the hard work they displayed completely surpassed the hard work of the outer courtyard, inner court, and even the true disciples.

As a result, the disciples of the Servant Peak had already become a power that was not weaker than the other peaks of the sword faction.

And this force did not only belong to the sword faction, it also belonged to Chen Yao.

That was because Chen Yao was their faith.

Chen Yao was very happy. To be able to bring some sunshine to these unfortunate individuals, allowing them to live a more meaningful life, Chen Yao felt as if he was bathed by the spring wind all along the way.

The sword sect's peaks were all connected. After entering the sword sect, they first passed the service peak, then the Mortal Sword Summit, Earth Sword Peak, Heavenly Sword Peak, and Immortal Sword Peak …

If Chen Yao went to Heavenly Sword Peak, he would have to pass by the Mortal Sword Summit and the Earth Sword Peak, where the inner court disciples were located.

Although the outer court disciples and inner court disciples did not see Chen Yao as a complete believer like the service disciples did, they still saw him as their idol.

Even if Chen Yao had already been demoted to a service disciple by the senior executives of the sword faction, the current Chen Yao had already displayed astonishing strength. No matter what the reason was, Chen Yao was someone who had massacred saints before.

As they looked at Chen Yao, a fanatical expression appeared in their eyes. Chen Yao secretly thought, I have to be shameless. Else, being worshipped like this would be unbearable.

Chen Yao could feel that the golden buddha's body inside his body, which was a symbiosis of good and evil, was extremely powerful and suppressed that evil desire.

This state was very satisfactory.

Until the moment when the Heavenly Sword Peak's Teleportation Formation appeared, Chen Yao's bright and beautiful face had finally turned cold. It was evident that he was not very happy.

This was because in front of him, there was a robust and tall man that blocked his path.

Liu Kuang?
