Chapter 306: Chapter 307 Half-step Human Immortal Body

Translator: 549690339

At this moment, the chosen ones had no desire to continue challenging the trials.

With that god of slaughter inside, they would be nothing but food for it. The first place in the Array Formation Sect’s grand competition was assuredly Li Xiaobai’s without any doubt.

Thinking about it carefully, with the inclusion of this one, Li Xiaobai had occupied all the leaderboards for the competitions of the Three Sects. After today, Central Province was likely to experience a major earthquake.

After Li Xiaobai’s figure disappeared, a group of people immediately ran for their lives, not wanting to stay in this ghastly place for even a moment longer—it was too much of a blow to their pride!

And no matter what, the news of Li Xiaobai’s appearance still had to be reported to the sect.

However, these matters did not concern Li Xiaobai. At the moment, he had already entered the eighth Formation, vacuum in hand, and began sweeping indiscriminately, sucking everything into the vacuum. In just a few breaths’ time, the eighth Formation was completely declared out of service.

Attribute Points had also accumulated to as much as thirty thousand.

All points to defense!

[Defensive Power: Fleshly Body Sanctification (980,000/1,000,000) Upgrade available.]

With a heart full of excitement, Li Xiaobai walked into the ninth Formation. There were no cultivators here, and besides himself, no one else had reached this step yet.

An iron-blooded stench hit him head-on, causing Li Xiaobai to furrow his brow; the ninth Formation’s offensive power was equivalent to a full-fledged Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and his Attribute Points were soaring rapidly.

[Attribute Points +10,000…]

In just a few breaths, the Attribute Points had leaped past twenty thousand, and at the same time, a line of small print appeared on the System panel.

[Blood Sacrifice Fragment x4.]

There were actually Blood Sacrifice Fragments within this Formation, and in one go, there were four pieces; Li Xiaobai was quite pleased. As the saying goes, good things come in pairs—not only would he advance in defensive power today, but he would also reap a bounty of fragments, delightful!

[Attribute Points: 20,000.]

All points to defense!

[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (0/10,000,000) (Successfully obtained Immortal Spirit Qi) Upgrade available.]

The System panel jumped once more as the defensive power successfully leveled up. Glancing at his own hands, Li Xiaobai felt that his body carried a hint of an ethereal immortal aura—of course, it was merely a temperament; his defense alone was off the charts.

With this Half-step Human Immortal body, from now on he wouldn’t fear those Great Crossing Realm cultivators. In this world, he could finally walk sideways!

But he hadn’t expected that advancing to the next stage of defensive power required two conditions to be met. Aside from a massive amount of Attribute Points, it would also take Immortal Spirit Qi.

The raggedy old man had said before that the Immortal Spirit Continent releases Immortal Spirit Qi periodically, and the next release was less than a year away. In other words, if he wanted to successfully level up, he had to secure Immortal Spirit Qi within this year.

The conditions were somewhat difficult, and just gathering those ten million Attribute Points wasn’t something that could be done in a short period. Previously, accumulating one million had taken a considerable amount of time, and for ten million, even if he let a Great Crossing Realm cultivator hammer at him relentlessly for three days and nights, it might still not be enough.

It seems that the further he went, the more difficult the path of defensive power became—full of challenges and a long way to go.

However, as of now, his defensive power was already sufficient in the Immortal Spirit Continent; he should be invincible.

Taking out the vacuum, he casually incapacitated the ninth Formation as well. At this point, the Attribute Points it could provide were a drop in the bucket and not worth the effort.

The tenth Formation was a white altar with a light that flowed, emitting a mysterious and ancient aura. The densely intricate traces of the Dao crisscrossed to the extreme, making one feel dizzy with just a glance.

Li Xiaobai walked up the steps at a leisurely pace, standing on top of the altar without feeling anything. This Formation had no offensive capabilities; it wasn’t a Slaughter Formation. According to what Zhao Hao said before, this should be a benefit phase.

Could it be that this altar was the place where benefits were distributed?

He extended his hand and fumbled around on the central platform of the altar. The platform was sealed by layer upon layer of mithril chains, which didn’t seem to indicate a benefit phase, but rather that the altar was suppressing something.

Several streaks of light flashed through the center of the altar and entered into Li Xiaobai’s brow.

[Attribute Points +40000…]

[Achievement: Trouble Maker (24/108) reward available.]

Having come into close contact with the fragment, the System automatically recognized it and awarded forty thousand Attribute Points.

[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[…]

[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (40,000/10,000,000) (Immortal Spirit Qi: Not Acquired) upgrade available.]

[Mall: Opened.]

[Pet: Pudong Rooster (Died once.)]

[Hellfire (Divine Level Skill) Current Status: Attached to right arm (10/100) upgrade available.]

This time, the Array Formation Sect had definitely picked the right place; it was a bountiful harvest, on par with the gains from the Western Desert. There was no need to worry about defensive power or Spirit Stones for a while.

“Hehe, should I go head-to-head with the Three Sects next?”

“Cackle, lad, let the venerable one out for conveniences!”

Struggling with a stomachache, Ji Wuqing flapped his wings and landed on the platform at the center of the altar, where there was a nightglow cup that seemed to serve some purpose. Ji Wuqing set his sights on it immediately, landing on the cup, relaxing his expression, and not budging an inch.

“Cackle, turn around, lad. You’re not to peek while the venerable one does his business!”

Ji Wuqing called out.

“Hurry up, they’re almost here to kill us!”

Li Xiaobai had a head full of black lines; this damn rooster sure was troublesome!

At any moment, the Three Sects’ Sect Masters could be on their way to kill them, and yet, at such a critical juncture, the damn rooster even managed to take a convenience break. Li Xiaobai didn’t know whether to say the rooster was carefree or just had a great attitude.

What he didn’t know was that at this very moment, the outside world had completely exploded into chaos.

Ever since Li Xiaobai entered the tenth Formation, the sky above Central City manifested a line of giant characters once again.

The golden radiance was dazzling, signifying that a new star had risen with an unstoppable momentum.

“Qi Sect Grand Competition.”

“First Place: Li Xiaobai is truly awesome! Level Cleared: Tenth Formation.”

Located in the land of formation trials, Li Xiaobai had not yet noticed anything, but at that moment, all the cultivators in Central City were completely dumbfounded.

Right then, there was only one thought in their minds: Central City was about to see a change of heavens!

It had been many years since there had been someone so brazen as to openly challenge the major forces, let alone do it in such a manner.

Thrice he had entered and exited Central City; thrice he had disrupted the grand competitions of the Three Sects, treating the Three Sects’ warrants and patrolling cultivators like nothing.

If the first two times could be chalked up to luck that allowed him to slip in, this third time was even more astounding; he brazenly walked into the Array Formation Sect’s trial ground right in front of the Three Sects’ Sect Masters and boldly began his challenge.

What infuriated them the most was that this guy managed to take first place every single time!

This was tantamount to him slapping the faces of the Three Sects’ Sect Masters in front of all the cultivators in the world.

It was as if he was saying: I’m going to cause trouble right in front of you Three Sects, and I’m going to do it openly by beating all your disciples. How does that make you feel?
