I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Chapter 73 - Three-Year Milestone Reward, Soul-Chasing Bow

Chapter 73: Three-Year Milestone Reward, Soul-Chasing Bow

Chu Xuan called Su Xian’er over and asked her to send a message to Bao Hongyan to find a way to contact the one-star Tower Lord.

As long as she could meet him, she could suppress him and forcefully plant a soul seal on him.

One day later, Bao Hongyan arrived.

The one-star Tower Lord rarely saw anyone, even the gold-level Tower Lords. He would only appear if there was an important matter or if the Black Moon Tower encountered something that the gold-level Tower Lords could not resolve.

Therefore, Bao Hongyan was unable to meet with him for the time being.

Chu Xuan knocked on the armrest with his finger and threw a pill over to Bao Hongyan.

“This pill is very beneficial to Emperor realm cultivators. I believe this will give him enough incentive to meet you.”

Bao Hongyan looked at the pill in her hand and inwardly exclaimed, ‘Even the Black Moon Tower didn’t have such a perfect emperor-level pill’.

“Yes, Master. I will definitely complete this mission.”

Bao Hongyan no longer had any thoughts about climbing the ranks of the Black Moon Tower. After all, it was only a matter of time before the Black Moon Tower changed hands.

Right now, she only wanted to efficiently carry out Chu Xuan’s orders and ride on his coattails.

She wanted to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible.

Chu Xuan had chosen to train her among the three gold-level Tower Lords. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as her cultivation reached the peak of the truth realm, she could rely on a pill like this to break through to the Emperor realm.

As a member of the Black Moon Tower, she could apply to leave the Southern Region temporarily to head to another region where the laws of Heaven and Earth were intact in order to break through.

Chu Xuan had given her pills that were beneficial for truth realm cultivators, therefore her cultivation speed had progressed rapidly. For Bao Hongyan, meeting Chu Xuan was her biggest opportunity.

Before Bao Hongyan left, Chu Xuan asked her to pay attention to any news about Xiao Liang. If she discovered Xiao Liang’s arrival in the Southern Region, she had to report the news to him immediately.

One day later.

The mysterious one-star Tower Lord stood in front of Chu Xuan in a respectful manner.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Chu Xuan was speechless.

The one-star Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower, the actual person in charge of the Black Moon Tower in the Southern Region, was a first-level Emperor realm cultivator.

Chu Xuan finally understood why the Black Moon Tower was willing to send an Emperor realm expert to guard the barren Southern Region.

It was all because Lao Gui Tai’s strength was weak and his aptitude was poor. The first level of the Emperor realm was basically his limit.

If he wanted to advance further, he would have to encounter either great fortune or a fortuitous encounter.

More importantly, Lao Gui Tai did not have much time left.

He could only live for a mere hundred years more before reaching his lifespan limit.

Perhaps he had come to the Southern Region to seek out the Asura Ancient Land in a final attempt to obtain an opportunity to advance further and extend his lifespan.

It was no wonder he rarely appeared. He was busy thinking about how to break through and extend his lifespan.

That being said, he had made the right decision in coming to the Southern Region. The medicinal pill that Chu Xuan passed to Bao Hongyan to lure him out could be considered his opportunity.

With that medicinal pill, it would not be a problem for him to break through to the second level of the Emperor realm given the foundation that he had accumulated over countless years.

His lifespan would be extended, but that was all.

The moment Chu Xuan laid eyes on him, he gave up on the idea of nurturing him. His level of talent was too low, which made the entire venture unprofitable.

That medicinal pill could be considered as his reward for working for Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan promptly asked him about the Asura Ancient Land.

He knew much more than Bao Hongyan and the other two gold-level Tower Lords.

For example, he told Chu Xuan that the Asura Ancient Land was trapped in a space somewhere and that, during that battle, many major powers in the Southern Region had perished.

The locations of these large factions and sects disappeared together with the Asura Ancient Land during the battle. Once the natural laws of the Southern Region were restored, they would gradually reappear.

Some of the current historical sites in the Southern Region had actually been the territories of some of these factions or large families that had disappeared due to the battle.

The gradual recovery of the natural laws caused these historical sites that had disappeared to reappear in this world.

As for that battle itself, Lao Gui Tai had read about it in the records of the Black Moon Tower.

It seemed that it had been a plot back then to subvert the Great Qin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, he was unaware of the specific details. As a one-star Tower Lord, there were still many high-level secrets that he was not privy to.

His immediate superior was his senior brother, a third-level Emperor realm expert and a two-star Tower Lord of the Black Moon Tower.

This two-star Tower Lord resided in the Northern Region.

He also did not know where the headquarters of the Black Moon Tower was or who the true person in charge above it all was.

The most valuable information Chu Xuan obtained from Lao Gui Tai was regarding the major forces in the Southern Region.

The three sects and two empires were actually not limited to the Southern Region. After the war with the demons, the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region collapsed, and these major forces were forced to leave the Southern Region.

As such, the forces they left behind in the Southern Region could only be considered branches that protected their original territories.

The Great Qian Dynasty had the shortest legacy among them, being founded after the war with the demons.

He allowed Lao Gui Tai to leave. Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. The three sects and two empires had deep foundations.

How could the Great Qin Dynasty, which Qin Keyun had just founded, fight against the Great Qian Dynasty?

At the moment, things were still stable. However, once the Asura Ancient Land opened, the main forces behind these various factions would return. How could Qin Keyun resist them then?

Would the Great Qin Emperor return as well?

Was Qin Keyun only paving the way for the Great Qin Emperor’s return?

Was the person who plotted against the Great Qin Emperor related to the Great Qian Dynasty?

The possibility of this being the case was very high.

Chu Xuan did not dwell on the matter. He would ignore such problems so long as it did not affect him or his seclusion.

The three-year milestone was coming. Chu Xuan waited with bated breath for the rewards he would receive.

Time passed peacefully.

Su Xian’er was working hard on her cultivation, adamant about becoming strong enough to take revenge on the Su family back in the Central Region as soon as possible.

Ding Yue continued to consolidate his cultivation after his breakthrough.

Yesterday, Chu Tianming’s roar could be heard from the ancestral residence again.

Chu Xuan sighed. It was fortunate that Chu Yuan had left the family’s territory. Otherwise, he might have been skinned alive by the furious Chu Tianming and family elders.

He had become a sinner of the Chu family.

“You’ve been cooped up for three years. Continue to work hard and stay in seclusion. You have been rewarded with the Soul-chasing Bow.”

The reward for three years of seclusion was actually a bow.

Chu Xuan received the reward.

A simple brownish-yellow bow appeared in his hand.

There were fine lines engraved on the bow. They were spread out in a regular pattern. The Dao charm lingered around them. The fine lines almost looked like a great road.

The bowstring was ethereal and did not have a physical form. It looked like part of the Great Dao itself.

Chu Xuan was amazed. This bow was definitely not simple.

He examined the description of the Soul-chasing Bow.

“The Soul-chasing Bow imbues the power of the Great Dao and the laws into its arrows. Every arrow strikes true, regardless of distance or space...”

After reading the description of the Soul-chasing Bow, Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He finally had the ability to kill enemies without leaving his house.

In terms of cultivation, the Soul-chasing Bow imbued the power of the laws of Heaven and Earth into the arrows. If one’s cultivation was strong enough, the bow would imbue the power of the Great Dao into the arrows.

Every arrow would strike true. Moreover, it ignored space and distance.

As long as he planted a soul-chasing seal on the enemy’s body. No matter which space or secret realm the enemy hid in, he would still be able to hit them from inside his small courtyard.

Moreover, if his cultivation was strong enough, he only needed to silently recite the name of the person, after which the Soul-chasing Bow would be able to lock onto the person and shoot him to death!

In such a scenario, there was no need for him to plant the soul-chasing seal on the person, or even meet them.

He only needed to silently recite their name and it would lock onto the person he wanted to kill. No matter how far apart they were, he would be able to shoot the other person.

It was terrifying!
