Inside the Cliff House

Fang Chen had a smile on his face. Breaking through a small level in the Juntian Realm was naturally easy for him.

After this breakthrough, the strength of his source power is equivalent to the sixth level of the seventh-grade Juntian foundation. It can be said that he has reached the peak of the ordinary middle-stage Juntian!

As a result, your sense of security will naturally increase!

"Well, Xiao Hei has refined another ordinary mid-grade treasure in the past six months. After selling it, I can start accumulating the source of power to break through the third level of Juntian." Fang Chen murmured in his heart.

It would be impossible for the Xu and Zhou families to search the entire world in less than two years, so the past six months have been calm and peaceful for him, and the situation is very good.

In the past six months, he has also used the intermediate enlightenment leaf. Its effect in combination with the derivative space is quite gratifying. The second level of rules has opened the door to him!

Well, the effect of practicing in this way is naturally excellent, but the consumption is also astonishing. One intermediate enlightenment leaf is only enough for him to practice for one month.

As for the Xunyang Enlightenment Fruit, I haven't had time to use it yet, so I'm not very clear about it.

But it must be much more effective than the Enlightenment Leaf, and of course more expensive!

"Source Crystal, Source Crystal!"

Fang Chen kept muttering to himself, when can I achieve Source Crystal freedom?

……

Two years passed again
This amount of time is insignificant to the Juntian realm. The world has not changed and is still the same.

However, the news of the closure of Zimo Star did spread, and it was often discussed in the universe, with gossip flying everywhere.

Fang Chen was still practicing diligently. Since he needed to share source crystals to purchase Dao treasures, he still hadn't accumulated enough source power to break through to the third level of Juntian. But it would be soon. Once Xiao Hei successfully refined the next treasure, he would be able to break through.

He was moving in a good direction, but the Xu and Zhou families were not.

In a large hall, the three giants Xu Pingchang, Xu Wu and Xu Wujiu were all seated, all with worried looks on their faces.

Even Xu Wu, who liked Xu Pingchang's misfortune the most, felt the same way. He didn't expect that four years had passed and the thief still hadn't been caught!

I thought it would be a piece of cake, but it has dragged on until now and I still have nothing to show for it.

Opposite the three members of the Xu family, Zhou Yuzhao sat with a sullen face. Next to him, a broad-faced man sat upright, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

"Huh! It's been four years! What have you, the Xu family, been doing?" the broad-faced man asked in a deep voice.

"What the hell is that?"

Xu Wu opened his mouth and cursed: "You Zhou family grew up eating shit, right? It's been four years, and you haven't even touched a hair of that thief!"

"Xu Wu, you are so bold!" The broad-faced man slammed the table and stood up, and the tables and chairs under his hands turned into powder in an instant.

"Hey, what's the matter? Zhou Yun, do you want to fight with me?" Xu Wu glared back without fear.

"Sixth! Sit down!"

Xu Pingchang knocked on the table. This father and son are not ordinary people. If you want to die, don’t drag him into it!

"Father! Stop arguing, business is more important!"

Zhou Yuzhao snorted heavily.

"Ugh!"

Zhou Yun's lips moved twice, and finally he looked at his son's sunken eye sockets and sighed helplessly.

"In the past four years, the entire Zimo Star has been searched almost completely, and anyone who meets those characteristics has been verified with the Heart Mirror."

Xu Pingchang shook his head and said, "But nothing was gained!"

Seeing the look he was giving him, Zhou Yun said calmly, "I sent people to seal off the star gate the moment Xu Pingting died. This villain must still be inside Zimo Star!"

"Ugh!"

Xu Pingchang also sighed. This thief had many tricks up his sleeve, and he couldn't even use that information to deduce his exact whereabouts. Otherwise, the matter would have ended long ago!

"Why is that?"

Xu Wu stood up and said angrily, "To block the Star Gate, the Zhao family has to pay a large amount of source crystals every year. If we can't find the thief, by the time he seizes the position of patriarch, this family will have become an empty shell!"

"If you ask me, we should stop here! It's just a small shrimp that died. Do you think the Wang family will take any action?" Xu Wu waved his hand.

"laugh!"

Suddenly, Zhou Yuzhao looked up at Xu Wu, and a flash of lightning flashed in the void.

"What? You want to take action?"

Xu Wu rolled up his sleeves and laughed: "I'm not afraid of you!"

"What kind of magic potion did that bitch Xu Pingting feed you?"

He looked at Zhou Yun and sneered, "You take care of your son! I won't care about his status when I get angry!"

"You have no need to meddle in the affairs of my Zhou family!" Zhou Yun became angry and stood up in anger.

He sighed repeatedly in his heart, he was indeed negligent in disciplining Zhao'er, and the ancestor spoiled him too much, causing him to fall in love with that crazy woman Xu Pingting!
"Okay, stop arguing!"

Xu Wujiu, who had been silent all this time, spoke. He stared at Xu Wu and asked him to sit down.

Now it's not just about Xu Pingting's death. The past four years have caused such a big commotion that it has attracted countless people's attention. If they can't find the thief this time, their two families will become the laughing stock of the surrounding big worlds!

Xu Wujiu looked at the quiet hall, thought for a moment and said, "Since the thief can't escape from Zimo Star, then there must be something wrong with the Heart-Searching Mirror?"

"impossible!"

Xu Pingchang waved his hand and said, "I specially used the top-grade treasure-level self-examination mirror. A mere ordinary Juntian mid-stage cultivator would never be able to hide it!"

"Ah!"

Zhou Yuzhao suddenly chuckled: "It shouldn't be so troublesome. Wouldn't it be better to kill all those who meet the requirements?"

"Hi~"

When these words were spoken, even the most reckless Xu Wu took a breath of cold air.

The number of people practicing the Great Way of Fire is basically the largest, and there are at least tens of thousands of people who have reached the fifth level of Juntian in the entire world!
The Juntian mid-stage people are not just any cats and dogs. Killing them all will cause chaos!

The other three rolled their eyes and ignored his stupid remarks. Zimo Star did not belong to their two families, and they did not have such great power.

If you dare to do so, the star lord will destroy them on the same day. He is worried about not finding an opportunity, and you still put your neck on his knife?

"Well... actually there is another possibility!"

Xu Wujiu spoke again, and he looked at Xu Pingchang: "If there is no problem elsewhere, then..."

Xu Pingchang was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "Could it be that I would still protect that villain?"

"No, no!"

Xu Wujiu shook his head and said, "What if the result of your survey of the sky and the earth is wrong?"

"impossible!"

Xu Pingchang waved his hand and said decisively, but his lips trembled a little, and it was obvious that he was not so confident.

If he had never doubted himself before, but now...

"Humph!"

Zhou Yun suddenly snorted coldly, looked at the three Xu family members in front of him and shook his head in his heart, thinking they were of no use!
"I personally invite Master Yu Ran to survey the sky again!"

"Guys, please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared in the direction of Xu Pingting's residence.

"laugh!"

Xu Wu passed by Xu Pingchang and sneered. If this was really the problem of this good brother, then that would be great!

Xu Pingchang frowned, with sweat on his forehead. He seemed to remember something, but did not dare to confirm it for the moment.

"It's impossible. This shouldn't happen..."

"Brother, please!"

Xu Wujiu smiled and raised his hand. When he saw that there was no reaction, he smiled lightly and disappeared.

……

Xu Pingting's Residence

Xu, Zhou and their group came here again, and Xu Pingchang followed behind them a little dazed.

"Master Yu Ran, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter!"

Zhou Yun bowed to the white-haired old man in front of him who looked like an immortal.

"You're too polite, Patriarch Zhou!" Master Yu Ran smiled and shook his head.

Xu Wujiu looked at him indifferently with no expression on his face. Master Yu Ran was also at the ninth level of the Refined Void Realm, and he was specialized in the method of patrolling the sky and searching the earth. He was definitely much more reliable than Xu Pingchang.

"Zha!"

After listening to Zhou Yun's explanation of the whole story, Master Yu Ran did not hesitate any longer. He waved the whisk in his hand, and a light curtain immediately appeared in the void, showing two figures on it, and the picture was extremely clear.

Just with this one move, he is much more skillful than Xu Pingchang!

"Kill! Kill Fang Chen..."

The screen started to move, showing a scene where Xu Pingting forced Wang Yuliang to kill Fang Chen. Wang Yuliang refused, and then Xu Pingting threatened him to let Zhou Yuzhao do it.

"Nephew Zhou, please don't misunderstand. This matter has nothing to do with Fang Chen!"

Seeing the malicious look in Zhou Yuzhao's eyes, Xu Pingchang quickly cheered up and explained that since this kid could play with Xu Pingting, he might be a lunatic, and Fang Chen couldn't get into trouble now.

Zhou Yuzhao did not answer him, but quietly looked at the picture in the void.

Finally, the man in black armor appeared again. When he attacked, flames rose to the sky. The blazing power seemed to make everyone present feel as if they were there!
"what?"

Suddenly, Master Yu Ran raised his eyebrows and let out a light exclamation.

"Master, what's the matter?" Zhou Yun asked hurriedly, and Zhou Yuzhao also looked over.

Master Yu Ran shook his head and chuckled, "This man is indeed quite capable, everyone just wait and see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly made hand gestures with his skinny fingers, and the image in the air suddenly became extremely clear, and then rapidly enlarged!
"Boom!" At a certain moment, a golden light emerged from the raging flames, and a sharp aura that pierced the sky and the earth descended into everyone's hearts.

"Rules of the Golden Avenue?!"

Everyone present exclaimed in surprise, and Xu Pingchang's eyes suddenly darkened. He was actually deceived by that thief!
"Sly thief!"

Xu Wu shouted angrily, he felt humiliated!

When that thief saw them searching the entire world for people who practiced the rules of the Great Way of Fire, was he hiding in the dark and laughing at them?
He felt like he was being played around!
The scene continued, and Master Yu Ran didn't find any problems after that.

He looked at them and bowed, "The rest of the information is exactly as Patriarch Xu said. This is the first time I have seen such a method that can hide the power of one's own rules."

Master Yu Ran smiled and said, "It's a pity that this person's methods are not sophisticated enough, and he still revealed his flaws in the end!"

"The Rule of Gold..."

Xu Wujiu murmured in his heart, no wonder they had gained nothing in four years, it turned out they had chosen the wrong target!
"Okay! Thank you, Master!"

Zhou Yun bowed excitedly. Although he had no interest in revenge for Xu Pingting, he had been searching for four years without finding anything and he was already very angry. Let's see how this thief can escape this time!
After bidding farewell to Master Yu Ran, Zhou Yun looked at the three Xu clan members and said, "If that's the case, let's act quickly. We must make him surrender this time!"

"Ok!"

Xu Pingchang nodded repeatedly. He was more motivated than anyone else. He had to catch the thief first, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the clan elders.

"and many more!"

Just as they were about to set off to make arrangements, Zhou Yuzhao suddenly stopped them.

"The rules of fire cannot be let go! What if this person practices two different ways?"

Several people were surprised, then looked at each other and nodded: "Okay!"

Although the possibility is extremely low, they really shouldn't miss any chance in this situation.

……

Zhoufu
Zhou Yuzhao walked through the stone forest and came to a dim secret room. He waved his hand lightly, and the secret room suddenly lit up, revealing countless portraits.

All of these portraits are of the same woman, whose appearance is surprisingly similar to Xu Pingting, except that the woman in the portrait is more gentle!

"Mother, Zhao'er misses you so much!"

Zhou Yuzhao stroked the smiling face of the woman in the portrait and said in a hoarse voice, "It's only been more than two hundred years, and father has already forgotten what you look like."

He seemed to sob a little: "But don't worry, I won't! I will always remember you!"

There was a smile in Zhou Yuzhao's red eyes, but also a sadness that was hard to conceal.

If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have died.

Damn pirates!
Zhou Yuzhao's eyes were fierce, he was determined to wipe out all the star pirates in his lifetime!
"Mother, there is no substitute for you!"

He murmured in a low voice: "I will avenge her. Just consider it as a way to thank her!"

"Everyone she hates must die!"

……

Zhao Mansion
"Master, the Xu and Zhou families seem to have made a mistake in their target, and are now starting to investigate from the beginning again!"

Still outside the room, Uncle Zhao bowed and reported.

"Oh?"

The man in the room chuckled and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Bo frowned: "That person seems to be practicing the rules of the great way of gold, not the rules of fire!"

"Well, this is the conclusion that Yu Ran came to after patrolling the sky!"

Through the shrouded colorful clouds, the sight shifted to the inside of the room. A middle-aged, slightly fat young man was leaning on a recliner. From time to time, he put a small transparent fruit into his mouth, looking relaxed and at ease.

After hearing what Zhao Bo said, his eyes became strange. In front of him was a crystal mirror, on which was the scene before Xu Pingting's death!
He passed through the blazing flames, the sharp golden light pointed directly at the core, and a touch of masculine gold emerged!
"Gold's Rule?"

The man smiled and said, "That's interesting!"

"Tsk tsk, that's good, let them investigate it this way! We don't need to interfere anymore!" He smiled faintly towards the outside.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhao Bo's response came from outside the door.

"Haha, interesting, really interesting!"

After Zhao Bo left, the young man burst into laughter.

He waved his sleeves at the crystal mirror, and the black armor of the figure on the screen immediately retreated. The image of the sturdy man inside twisted and a figure in white appeared.

"Tsk, that's a good trick!"

The slightly plump man praised it, saying that this method could easily deceive the God of Creation if he wasn't paying attention!

"Hmm? I can't detect his true realm? Is it because the time interval is too long?"

"Hehe, this is really interesting!"

Then he shook his head again: "Who cares! I'll just continue collecting materials!"

The slightly plump man rolled his eyes and continued with his "great cause". After laughing at this little thing, it was no longer worth paying attention to.

The picture on the crystal mirror changed, revealing a graceful figure. The slightly plump man immediately showed interest and started to move his hands seriously.

……

Fang Chen walked into Xu City again. This time he found that there were fewer residents in the city, but he was not surprised.

The price that the Xu and Zhou families paid to block the star gate had already been spread: two million high-quality source crystals per year!
The price shocked everyone!

"He's still too rich!" Fang Chen shook his head in his heart, why bother?
So, under this circumstance, almost all the people from both families went out to search for the thief, hoping to reduce the cost as much as possible.

"Brother Fang!"

In the distance, Xu Zhou smiled and waved at him, and Fang Chen also smiled and nodded in response.

"Brother Fang, the clan leader asked me to remind you to be careful of Zhou Yuzhao!" Xu Zhou suddenly whispered as he approached.

"Zhou Yuzhao?"

Fang Chen's heart moved slightly, and a hint of doubt immediately appeared on his face.

"Brother, this Zhou Yuzhao is the only son of the Zhou family leader! He is also a popular candidate for the inner disciple of this Huangtian event!"

Xu Zhou said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that Zhou Yuzhao is favored by the Zhou family's God King Ancestor. This father and son have a stable status in the Zhou family!"

Fang Chen understood, and then asked in confusion: "I don't know Zhou Yuzhao at all, why did Patriarch Xu remind me?"

"Ugh!"

Xu Zhou sighed and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fang, Zhou Yuzhao is a lunatic!"

"She's having an affair with that bitch Xu Pingting, so it's inevitable that she'll want to vent her anger on you!"

"Ok?"

"I have only met Xu Pingting once. What does this... have to do with me?" Fang Chen looked surprised and aggrieved.

Xu Zhou looked a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that Xu Pingting was thinking about killing him before she died, right?

"Brother Xu, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Fang Chen hurriedly explained, with an expression that said you are responsible for this.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Xu Zhou patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Brother Fang, you can stay in Xucheng for the next few years. No matter how lawless Zhou Yuzhao is, he dare not break into my Xu clan's territory. I, the Xu clan, will ensure that you are worry-free!"

"This... Oh! Then I'll have to trouble Brother Xu!" Fang Chen sighed after hesitating for a while.

"No trouble! No trouble!"

Xu Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, then said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, the thief will be caught soon, and by then I'm sure Zhou Yuzhao won't be keeping an eye on you anymore."

"Oh?"

Fang Chen was startled, then overjoyed: "That's good! That's good!"

……

After settling down in the residence arranged by Xu Zhou, Fang Chen closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a while before slowly opening his eyes.

Just two days ago, he finally accumulated enough source power, so now he has reached the third level of Juntian realm!
Therefore, he did not reject living in Xucheng. His main goal in the next stage was to comprehend the second level of Tianyang rules and thus step into the middle stage of Juntian.

"I hope we can reach this point before the Brilliant Heaven Festival begins!"

"Zhou Yuzhao..."

In the end, Fang Chen shook his head slightly. This person's identity was not ordinary and he was not someone he could deal with right now.

Moreover, since Zhou Yuzhao is known as the seeded player of the Huangtian Event, he must have an eighth-grade foundation, and his strength is estimated to be no weaker than Xu Yuanhao. He may not even be his opponent now!
After all, his foundation is only one level higher than Zhou Yuzhao's, which is equivalent to the latter's source power strength of the fourth level of Juntian.

And because of the "Tian Yang Hun Yuan Sutra", his source power strength is definitely at the bottom among those in the same realm!
Fortunately, he had a ninth-grade foundation and could absorb source crystals very quickly, otherwise his cultivation speed would probably not be as fast as these people.

This is the tragedy of being a casual cultivator!

It is extremely difficult to find a God of Creation among the casual cultivators!
As far as he knew in the universe, within the 5,000-light-year range of Zimo Star, the last God of Creation who came from a casual cultivator's background was 150,000 years ago!
No one knows where he has gone now. It is said that he left behind a legacy before he left. This has become the dream of everyone in Juntian Realm.

Countless disturbances have occurred over the past tens of thousands of years. There is a huge difference between the Creation Realm and the Juntian Realm. This can be seen from the lifespan alone. Thirty-six thousand years is considered eternity for most cultivators. No one can resist being tempted!

There are endless powerful people in the sea of ​​​​realms, and many predecessors do like to set up inheritance and wait for the right person. This is also the only way out for independent cultivators.

It’s difficult to be a casual practitioner!

"Ugh!"

Fang Chen sighed heavily, and finally continued to sink his mind into the Yandao space to start practicing. He actually didn't like fighting and killing, and intrigue. It would be best if he could continue to practice like this to the highest level.

But this is obviously impossible.

The essence of spiritual practice lies in the word "competition". Where would the resources come from without competition?
Everyone is fighting, but the things they fight for are different because of their positions.
