1544 Zi Xuan's Stash

"Now then… Zi Xuan, let's talk about your situation. Why are you staying in the Vanishing Valley, possessing that Giant's Sword?" Yuan turned his focus to Zi Xuan now that Yu Ning's issue was resolved.

"Good question. Unfortunately, I do not know. Or, more precisely, I don't remember. When I woke up, I found myself already inside the Vanishing Valley, and not wanting my soul to degrade, I had to possess a treasure, and this Giant's Sword happened to be nearby."

"You don't remember? Then do you remember what you did before losing consciousness?"

"I have a faint recollection of engaging in a battle, but the specifics elude me. I can't recall the circumstances that led to the fight or who or what I was up against," she confessed.

"Is that so…" Yuan mumbled with a pondering face.

"Oh, but I do remember you telling me something right before I lost consciousness. 'Wait for me', you said, and so I did… for countless years."

"Sorry for making you wait so long…"

"You can make it up to me with some intense sex later," Zi Xuan casually said.

"..."

Xiao Hua lifted an eyebrow at Zi Xuan's words.

Yu Ning wondered to herself, 'A sword spirit having intercourse with a human? Is that even possible?'

Unbeknownst to Yu Ning, Zi Xuan was originally human. However, after spending countless years as a sword spirit, her soul experienced a profound transformation that turned her into a hybrid of sorts, the first of its kind.

"Then did the previous 'me' tell you anything about what I should do?" Yuan then asked.

"They always say the same time—just let fate take its course."

"Of course… why did I even ask?" Yuan shook his head at his own foolishness.

"What about you, Zi Xuan? Do you have any goals or purpose at the moment?"

"I only have one purpose—to protect and serve you as your sword. Unfortunately, due to your insufficient cultivation base, I have to suppress my cultivation base and restrict Number One Under Heaven's true potential, which will make protecting you a lot more difficult. However, unless you run into an immortal or something, there won't be a problem."

Yuan nodded, "Now that I've done everything I need to in here, let's get out of this ominous place."

"Wait. Before you leave, you should take the monster cores I have collected over the years from killing magical beasts that tried to challenge me. I put them right underneath the Giant's Sword. They will benefit your cultivation greatly if you consume them." Zi Xuan suddenly said.

"Okay."

Yuan flew toward the Giant's Sword.

"Did I hear that right? You can consume monster cores?" Yu Ning doubted her ears.

"Yes, I have a unique physique that allows me to do so."

"Just what kind of existence are you, Young Master?" Yu Ning muttered in a dazed voice.

Sometime later, Yuan arrived at the base of the Giant's Sword, where a mountain of monster cores was stashed out in the open. The sight of so many cores piled together was both awe-inspiring and intimidating.

Furthermore, more than half of these monster cores belonged to Immortal-level magical beasts.

"I won't have to worry about raising my cultivation base for a while…" Yuan swallowed nervously.

Then he remembered that he was cursed by the Celestial Emperor, so these monster cores would lose 99 percent of their effects.

'If it weren't for the curse, my cultivation could probably shoot straight to True Immortal with this many monster cores and complete one of the requirements to unlock Heaven's Supremacy…' he sighed inwardly.

'Speaking of Heaven's Supremacy… Now that I have Number One Under Heaven, maybe I can defeat a Divine Emperor-level magical beast and get that task finished. Moreover, I have Immortal Monarch's Dominion, which will surely make things easier.'

After putting away the monster cores into his spatial ring, Yuan immediately went around looking for a magical beast with a cultivation of Divine Emperor, which was exactly nine realms above Spirit King.

Zi Xuan continued chatting with him as he traveled.

"Hey, what's your current life like? And what's our situation looking like?"

Yuan proceeded to explain about his new life on Earth, the existence of Cultivation Online, and his current situation.

"Cultivation Online, huh? What an interesting concept the Celestial Emperor had crafted. I'm also interested in your world. Let me see it the next time you return."

Yu Ning also listened with great interest. As for Xiao Hua, she couldn't comprehend Yuan's words, nor did she find anything weird about it. To her, it was akin to trying to comprehend an unknown scripture even though she understood the words themselves.

A few days later, Yuan encountered a magical beast at the first level of Divine Sovereign, which was stronger than his initial target. However, he figured that he'd try to defeat it.

He approached the magical beast in a calm manner and used Immortal Monarch's Dominion on it.

"You are forbidden from moving until I say so."

The magical beast's movements immediately stopped. However, it quickly started moving again after a few seconds, albeit extremely slow and stiff.

'Is my cultivation not strong enough to command them perfectly?' Yuan wondered to himself.

He used Immortal Monarch's Dominion on it again, resetting the effects.

Then, with Number One Under Heaven in his grasp, Yuan activated God of War's Astral Arts before using Nine Supreme Swords.

With Number One Under Heaven's Unique Ability, Nine Supreme Sword's power increased by 100,000 percent.

With nine strikes in total, the first strike was powerful enough to kill a Divine Warrior instantly. The second strike could annihilate a Divine Master in one blow. The third strike could defeat a Divine Grandmaster, while the fourth strike was potent enough to kill a Divine Lord.

The Nine Supreme Sword's fifth strike was powerful enough to obliterate a Divine King. However, it took the seventh strike to defeat a Divine Emperor.

As for a Divine Sovereign magical beast, the eighth strike heavily injured it, with the ninth and final strike killing it.

With a single technique that delivered nine consecutive attacks, each more powerful than the last, Yuan managed to defeat a magical beast ten realms above his own cultivation with relative ease.
