Chapter 281 - Saber Monarch Donghai, 36 Demon Leaders (1/2)
Zhou Xuanji went to a forest, away from the others.
The reason why he distanced himself from the others was not because he didn’t trust them, but because he wanted to surprise them.
In the future, when they encountered problems, he would use it—just thinking about it made him feel great already.
He walked in front of a large tree and took out the Ancient God Sword.
The method for awakening the soul of an ancient powerful being was very simple—he just needed to send his spirit energy into the sword and use his mind to awaken it.
Soon, a black shadow floated out from the blade.
Zhou Xuanji immediately understood his background.
Saber Monarch Donghai!
30,000 years ago she had ascended and left the Northern Wilderness. However, she had unexpectedly fallen, and her soul had been wandering in the void before being absorbed by the Supreme Legendary Sword System.
As for other information about Saber Monarch Donghai, he had no idea.
He could sense that Saber Monarch Donghai’s power was no weaker than Emperor Hanlan’s.
Of course, this was only in terms of their remnant souls.
He attached Saber Monarch Donghai’s soul to his body, causing his aura to explosively increase.
It was the same as when he had used Emperor Hanlan’s soul, but now that his cultivation was far higher than before, he felt that he could challenge Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals.
Well, the weakest of Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals.
He still could not contend with existences like Jihuang Demon Lord.
He did some simple testing before putting away the Ancient God Sword and returned to the summit.
Xian Xianghua glanced at him but did not say anything.
Jiang Xue was still learning divination from Daoya Old Man and did not notice anything different about Zhou Xuanji.
One month later, Xian Xianghua left without saying anything.
She returned after seven days, announcing that she had gathered the Tanhua Sect’s 36 Demon Leaders, and they had settled at a neighboring mountain.
Zhou Xuanji did not have any objections to this.
Ning Zifeng was quite curious, and after asking for Xian Xianghua’s permission, he went to find the 36 Demon Leaders to spar and returned with low spirits.
The next day, Ning Zifeng and Lin Changge went together but still returned in defeat.
The two of them refused to give up and would go and seek the 36 Demon Leaders every few days.
At the top of the mountain, the Tanhua Sect’s 36 Demon Leaders sat cross-legged as they cultivated. There were 28 men and eight women, and all of them had powerful cultivations.
There were 10 Demon Leaders who had Great Realization stage cultivation.
With such a force, no wonder Ning Zifeng and Lin Changge were not a match.
A Demon Leader opened his eyes and said, “Will those two boys come again?”
Hearing this, the other 35 Demon Leaders all opened their eyes with strange expressions.
Back when Ning Zifeng had challenged them, they felt quite disdainful.
Even with Lin Changge joining him later on, they were still not a match for all of them combined.
However, if this went on, how could they focus on cultivating?
“Zhou Xuanji might be our future Sect Lord. Keep enduring, everyone,” an elder said. His name was Qin Zheng, and he was the First Demon Leader.
He and Thousand Hand Devil Qin Gang were brothers.
It had been over 3,000 years since the 36 Demon Leaders had all gathered together.
Ever since Xian Xianghua had been defeated by Yang Di, the 36 Demon Leaders had disappeared and left the Tanhua Sect, and most people thought they had died.
Who would have thought that they were not dead and had instead been focusing on cultivating this whole time.
Qin Zheng’s words caused the others’ attention to turn to Zhou Xuanji.
“It’s said that Zhou Xuanji has immense talent. Even if he doesn’t have the Tianxia Map, he has the potential to become the number one in the world. No wonder the Sect Lord wants him so much.”
“But he wants to start his own sect. When the time comes, what will the relationship between his sect and the Tanhua Sect like?”
