Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Hard to catch up?

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched slightly, his expression odd.

Yang Yuan is overestimating himself, isn’t he?

Only at Eighth Grade Immortal Foundation, and he dares to claim I can’t catch up?

But Xu Yang wasn’t in the mood to spar with Yang Yuan verbally right now.

If he really wanted to crush this guy’s spirit, he could just reveal his Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation, which would surely make Yang Yuan mentally collapse.

But there’s no point.

If he exposes himself, he’ll immediately become everyone’s target.

He might even attract countless powerful geniuses from Central Continent to covet him.

By then, who knows how many people would want him dead.

Trouble would be endless.

"Thank you for the warning, Mr. Yang."

Xu Yang smiled faintly, then bowed respectfully to Yang Hua before turning to leave.

Watching Xu Yang walk away, Yang Yuan’s smile gradually faded.

"Well?"

Yang Hua quietly appeared at his side.

"Monster!"

"Even if he has a Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation, his cultivation and strength are simply unbelievable; his immortal yuan is vast and endless, even now I feel like he still has plenty left."

"But..." Yang Yuan’s tone shifted, confidently saying, "I can sense he still has hidden cards he didn’t use, but so do I. With this ancient star opportunity, in the short term, he won’t be able to compete with me. If it comes to a life-and-death battle, I will surely kill him."

Feeling Yang Yuan’s confidence, Yang Hua nodded in satisfaction.

As a prodigy, the most feared thing is damage to your spirit.

Now, the old Yang Yuan has finally returned.

"He probably won’t stay in Northern Continent much longer before heading to Eastern Continent. That’s when we can make our move." Yang Hua’s killing intent was chilling.

Yang Yuan licked his lips, eyes cold as ice.

"Eastern Continent—after this, who knows how much the geniuses there will improve. And there’s Liou Xueyan—she seems to have already arrived in Eastern Continent..."

"That little girl is remarkable, but in Eastern Continent there are plenty of geniuses who can outshine her. And since no one cares much about Ice and Snow Immortal Palace, maybe she’s already fallen somewhere, for all I know."

...

Xu Yang returned all the way to the ancient mine, seeing Ji Mengshan standing tall atop the peak from afar.

"Mr. Xu, are you all right?"

As he approached, seeing Xu Yang looking so battered, Ji Mengshan’s face changed.

He’d been gone so long, especially with the previous Golden Immortal battle, and just now—the aftershocks from far away even made him uneasy.

"It’s nothing serious."

Xu Yang shook his head with a light laugh.

Ji Mengshan hesitated and asked, "That ancient star..."

"Got taken by the Yang Family. The Yang Family’s ancestor arrived early, and during that time another Golden Immortal named Yuan Mie also showed up, but was chased off by their ancestor." Xu Yang sighed helplessly.

"Yang Family Ancestor, Yuan Mie."

"Hiss."

Ji Mengshan sucked in a sharp breath, shocked: "I didn’t expect the Yang Family Ancestor to be so strong, even chasing off Yuan Mie Golden Immortal."

"That Yuan Mie Golden Immortal is a loose cultivator from Northern Continent. Heard he’s got a disciple who’s been in the Golden Immortal Realm for decades."

Xu Yang raised his brows slightly, but wasn’t surprised.

How can a loose cultivator compare to Yang Hua?

The Yang Family, as an established clan, has plenty of resources and also leans on Black Fire Immortal Mountain. It’s only natural that Yang Hua’s strength surpasses Yuan Mie’s.

"Sorry to have delayed Uncle Ji for two days. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to the Immortal Sect to find me. That aside, if you ever need alchemy, it’ll be no problem at all."

Xu Yang cupped his fists respectfully as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mengshan’s face lit up with joy.

Who is Xu Yang?

An alchemy genius!

With his current strength, he can already refine high-grade Tier-Two medicinal pills.

He’s also got two senior brothers at the very top of Tier-Two, and a powerful Golden Immortal as master.

Getting Xu Yang’s promise is truly a huge opportunity.

Ji Mengshan said happily, "If there’s ever a need, I definitely won’t be polite with you, Mr. Xu."

"Once this is over, come visit the Ji Family with Ji Hong if you have the time."

"Absolutely."

"I’ll take my leave now."

Ji Mengshan, deeply satisfied, quickly departed.

From start to finish, he never once stepped into the valley of the ancient mine.

"Uncle Ji Hong’s second uncle is straightforward, at least."

Watching Ji Mengshan’s silhouette fade into the distance, Xu Yang chuckled and strode into the valley.

Feeling the injuries on his body, they weren’t very serious.

No need for pills; half a day and he’d be as good as new.

However, the seven-day Starry Extreme Night is almost over, too.

Less than two days left.

"Guess I’ll just stay put here."

Xu Yang no longer cared to go out searching for treasures.

Three treasured pills, and the top-grade Purple Rainbow Dew, are already enough to satisfy him.

"I’ll try to trigger the Source of the Rain Division in the final moments."

Xu Yang took a deep breath, sat down swiftly, swallowed an ordinary drop of Purple Rainbow Dew, and started healing.

The next day.

Xu Yang was fully recovered, stood up, and walked toward the mine tunnel.

Almost one day left—wonder how those three treasured pills are coming along.

Just as he reached the edge of the mine tunnel, Xu Yang was suddenly gripped by terror, his scalp prickling.

"Who’s there?"

He spun around like lightning, pupils constricted, body frozen.

An overwhelming, ocean-like pressure surged from all directions—unstoppable.

Pff!

Xu Yang spat blood, terrified to find even his Immortal Foundation and immortal yuan were utterly suppressed—he couldn’t move at all.

Golden Immortal expert!

"Oh? You’re a little strange, boy."

"Where are the Three Great Families’ people? Did you take care of them all?"

An elderly man of short stature appeared out of thin air, blinking at Xu Yang with suspicion and surprise.

The old man’s face was pale, his clothes stained with blood, hair rather disheveled.

He seemed to be injured.

But a Golden Immortal is still a Golden Immortal, wounds or not—utterly invincible.

As his voice fell, Xu Yang’s heart trembled.

This voice—too familiar.

Yuan Mie!

The Golden Immortal chased away by Yang Hua.

"Senior, my master is Dan Qi." Xu Yang squeezed out the words with difficulty.

"Hmm?"

"Dan Qi of Black Fire Immortal Mountain?"

Old Yuan Mie’s face changed, staring hard at Xu Yang as if to verify the truth.

The next moment, the pressure disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yang staggered, barely steadying himself, gasping a couple of times, and quickly took out a token.

Upon seeing the token, Old Yuan Mie’s expression shifted several times.

Finally, he let out a low ’tch’ laugh: "For Dan Qi’s sake, I’ll spare your life, but you’d best not play any tricks with me."

"Now, tell me honestly, where are the people from the Three Great Families?"

"The Ye and Ming Families have withdrawn; the Yang Family’s people have been captured by me."

Xu Yang stayed alert as he spoke slowly.

"Oh? Just you?" Yuan Mie eyed Xu Yang suspiciously.

The Ancient Shadow Gold Mine is such an important place; the three families’ cultivators should be at least Late Stage Celestial Immortal.

"I may be young, but my strength rivals the peak of Celestial Immortal." Xu Yang made no secret of it.

"Peak of Celestial Immortal?"

Yuan Mie opened his mouth, wanted to laugh but couldn’t, and said playfully, "Show me a bit of your skill."

Peak of Celestial Immortal?

He really felt this was outrageous.

Xu Yang’s expression straightened; with a wave of his sleeve, he punched the air beside him.

Bang!

A huge boom, wild shockwaves rippling out.

"..."

Yuan Mie was dumbstruck, falling into existential crisis.

With his Golden Immortal senses, how could he not feel the force of that punch?

So effortless, yet it indeed held the power of peak Celestial Immortal.

This is absurd.

This core disciple, and Dan Qi’s apprentice at that—how revered must he be in Black Fire Immortal Mountain?

"May I ask senior why you’re here?" Xu Yang probed cautiously.

With a Golden Immortal sitting next to him, even if he doesn’t dare kill him, it’s still impossible to rest easy.
