Chapter 124: Descent

Otherwise, without a world as an anchor, when the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon descends upon other worlds,

it would be very easy to get lost in the endless Void Realm.

Although it wouldn't die like that, running around blindly in the void and wanting to find a suitable world to descend upon again would depend entirely on luck.

And this world acting as the anchor cannot be too weak.

Because the weaker the world, the weaker the world force contained within it.

Like a lighthouse, the more powerful the world and the higher the world force it contains, the stronger the light it emits in the void.

If the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon wants to find an anchor in the void to locate itself, naturally, the more eye-catching, the better.

And this Renegade Immortal World is an anchor world very suitable to be the main world.

Previously, because Sun Xuan was incomplete, he could only stay within this Renegade Immortal World.

As for leaving an anchor, that was even more impossible.

However, now that the main body had been pieced back together completely, it was no longer a problem at all.

As long as Sun Xuan brought Sun Dachu's Soul and Physical Body along when descending upon other worlds,

then, based on the connection between Sun Dachu and the Renegade Immortal World, an anchor could naturally be left behind in this Renegade Immortal World.

At that time, after cultivating the descent bodies in other worlds to be powerful, devouring, and absorbing them,

Sun Xuan could naturally return to the Renegade Immortal World through this anchor.

If he didn't want to continue descending to other worlds at that time, he could continue to cultivate Sun Dachu within this Renegade Immortal World.

Until he cultivated him to the Stepping Heavens realm, and then swallowed him in one bite.

Anyway, every living being in other worlds descended upon by Sun Xuan had their spiritual wisdom obliterated the moment he descended.

As long as Sun Xuan wanted to devour them, no matter how powerful they were, not a single bit of resistance or hindrance would be generated.

At this moment, after piecing his main body back together, Sun Xuan couldn't help but feel an urge to descend to other worlds and take a look.

Although descending to other worlds would consume quite a bit of his main body's energy, the rewards were bound to be substantial.

Even if he encountered any danger, at worst, he could just swallow the descent body in one bite,

and then escape back to the Renegade Immortal World through the anchor.

Thinking of this, Sun Xuan no longer hesitated, and the power of the heavenly demon in black and white colors immediately radiated from his main body.

The power of the heavenly demon completely wrapped around Sun Dachu's body, and then it crashed toward the Void Realm.

Sun Dachu's entire body, like a puff of illusory air, completely melted into the Void Realm.

…

Great Wei Dynasty, Yunzhou, Yuntai Commandery, Qinghe County, inside a servant's dwelling of the aristocratic Li family.

A thin, emaciated young man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

The young man lay on the large communal brick bed, panting slightly for a while before he managed to climb up with some difficulty.

Only to see a profound look revealing itself in the young man's eyes, and then he thought to himself:

"It seems the Physical Body descended upon this time is this emaciated young man.

This person shares the same name and surname as me, both called Sun Xuan, which really is a coincidence."

At this moment, Sun Xuan had already left the Renegade Immortal World and descended into this strange world.

At this moment, Sun Xuan, along with the Physical Body of Sun Dachu that he occupied, had completely transformed into an illusory form of existence.

He hid deep within the Soul of this emaciated young man to avoid the gaze of this world's will.

The Outer Realm Heavenly Demon was, after all, unable to see the light of day.

Although after descending into this world, neither the power of Sun Xuan's main body nor that of his host body, Sun Dachu, could be used even a bit.

Sun Xuan had nevertheless utilized the power of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon main body to refine a Golden Finger in advance.

Through the vessel of the body he had descended upon, he could seize the Origin power of this world.

After careful and proficient consideration, Sun Xuan endowed this Golden Finger with the function of picking up dropped attributes.

Moreover, it could also display the attribute panels of all items, as well as the attribute panel of this Physical Body.

In this way, Sun Xuan could more targetedly and intuitively enhance the strength of this Physical Body.

After fusing with the memories of this Physical Body, Sun Xuan also gained a general understanding of his current situation.

How big this world was, what powerful figures existed, or even if transcendent power existed,

the original owner of this Physical Body knew nothing about all of this.

He only knew that the country he was in was called the Wei State, and this place was the aristocratic Li family of Qinghe County, Yuntai Commandery, Yunzhou in the Wei State.

And his previous identity was one of the hundreds of handymen of the Li family.

Previously, while walking by the river, his footing was unsteady, and he accidentally fell into the river, almost drowning.

Then he was rescued by other Li family handymen who were walking with him, and had been lying on this bed for a full night.

At the moment when this person was at his weakest, Sun Xuan, whose temperament and fate resonated harmoniously with him, took advantage of the void to seize his Soul and Physical Body.

After understanding the basic situation through this person's memories,

Sun Xuan's mind stirred, and an attribute panel immediately emerged before his eyes.

[ Name: Sun Xuan ]

[ Physique: 0.8 ]

[ Soul: 1.7 ]

[ Skills: None ]

[ Items: None ]

Looking at this crude attribute panel, a trace of contemplative expression could not help but surface in Sun Xuan's eyes.

The attribute panel created by Sun Xuan represented Physique as the comprehensive strength of the Physical Body.

And Soul represented the comprehensive strength of the Soul.

The normal standard for the Soul and Physique of a normal adult was one.

Yet the Physique of this Physical Body was only 0.8, which was likely caused by being a handyman, doing year-round heavy labor, and often not having enough to eat.

As for his Soul, it wasn't weak, being close to double that of a normal person.

As for skills and items, this Physical Body, being a handyman who couldn't even afford a proper meal, didn't have a single one.

After moving his limbs a bit, Sun Xuan got off the bed, opened the room door, and stepped out toward the exterior of the dwelling.

As soon as he stepped out, a figure walked straight toward him.

"Brother Sun, you're alright!"

Upon seeing Sun Xuan's figure, the person's eyes lit up instantly, and then he spoke to him.

Sun Xuan glanced slightly at the newcomer and recalled his identity.

This person was named Hou Liang, had a good relationship with this Physical Body, and was likewise a handyman.

When this Physical Body fell into the water earlier, it was this Hou Liang who had rescued him back.

Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Sun Xuan's face as he spoke:

"I almost got drowned yesterday, but after resting for a night, I've recovered pretty much."

Hearing this, Hou Liang immediately said with some joy:

"That's great, that's great!

Since you're fine, hurry up and come work with me.

The Li family doesn't raise idle people; Steward Liu was already angry when he didn't see your shadow this morning.

However, because it was too busy in the morning, he didn't come to find trouble with you.

We didn't dare to tell Steward Liu about you falling into the water either.

Otherwise, before you even woke up, Steward Liu would have already found someone to throw you out of the Li family.

In this day and age, human life is the most worthless thing!"

Sun Xuan listened to Hou Liang's rambling chatter about something,

while following closely behind him, he crossed a winding path toward a plaza where faint shouting sounds drifted over.

Although Sun Xuan's stomach was empty at the moment, as a handyman, if he didn't work, he obviously wouldn't have anything to eat.

After a short while, Sun Xuan followed Hou Liang to a fairly large plaza.

He saw dozens of robust men standing on this plaza, practicing together.

The faint shouting sounds Sun Xuan had heard earlier were emitted from the mouths of these men.

At this very moment, these robust men who were practicing suddenly began to drop gray light spheres one by one.

The light spheres scattered randomly across the plaza, each flickering with a trace of flowing gray light.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's eyes stirred abruptly, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart:

"It seems these are the dropped attributes!"

With a slight movement of Sun Xuan's mind, these gray attribute light spheres, visible only to Sun Xuan, immediately converged toward his body.

As each light sphere merged into Sun Xuan's body, streams of information also continuously flashed before Sun Xuan:

[ Physique + 0.01 ]

[ Physique + 0.01 ]

[ Physique + 0.01 ]

[ Basic Pugilism + 1% ]

[ Basic Pugilism + 3% ]

…

These gray light spheres merged into Sun Xuan's body were basically all uniform Physique attributes and Basic Pugilism attributes.

After absorbing so many attribute light spheres, Sun Xuan's physical strength couldn't help but slowly increase.

His mind also gradually gained some understanding of some Basic Pugilism skills.

"Brother Sun, don't daze off, get to work quickly.

Otherwise, if the steward sees you daydreaming and zoning out, you won't have any lunch to eat."

Seeing Sun Xuan staring blankly at those Li family martial guards practicing martial arts, Hou Liang pulled Sun Xuan's sleeve somewhat anxiously before speaking.

Hearing Hou Liang's words, Sun Xuan casually agreed with a few words and began to work together with Hou Liang.

This plaza where the martial guards practiced was not yet completely finished at this moment.

At the edge corners, it was necessary to dig some shallow pits in the ground, smooth the bottom of the shallow pits, and then pave them with large chunks of bluestone.

What Sun Xuan and the other handymen needed to do right now were these chores of digging pits and paving stones.

While digging pits and filling stones, Sun Xuan picked up the attributes dropped on the plaza.

After more than an hour, he had quite a harvest; at least his physical strength was getting more and more ample.

When lunchtime arrived, someone was specially assigned to deliver lunch to these handymen.

As for those guards on the plaza, they went to a dedicated dining hall.

The status of those guards in the Li family was much better than theirs as handymen.

After all, this world was not peaceful, and the lives of the Li family members still depended on these guards for protection.

As for handymen like them, besides doing hard labor, they had no other use.

After collecting two steamed buns and a large bowl of noodle soup, Sun Xuan squatted in the shade of a wall and began to eat on his own.

Although it was just two steamed buns and a bowl of cornmeal soup, Sun Xuan, who was already starving, still ate with great relish.

After a brief moment, the two steamed buns and the large bowl of cornmeal soup were completely eaten clean by Sun Xuan.

After finishing, Sun Xuan let out a breath with a sense of unfulfillment.

Then, while half-closing his eyes to rest, he brought up the attribute panel after absorbing quite a few gray light spheres.

[ Name: Sun Xuan ]

[ Physique: 1.51 ]

[ Soul: 1.7 ]

[ Skills: Basic Pugilism (62%) ]

[ Items: None ]

Looking at the attribute panel before him, a trace of satisfaction couldn't help flashing in Sun Xuan's eyes.

The harvest over this hour or so was considered pretty good.

After eating and resting for a little while, these handymen would continue to pave stones for the plaza.

At that time, they could pick up some more attributes dropped by the guards.

In an afternoon's time, not to mention how much Physique could be improved, the Basic Pugilism skill should be able to be nearly 100% mastered.

Time passed quickly; after resting for a short while,

a sharp-featured handyman steward hurriedly called all the handymen up and continued to pave stones on the plaza.

This should be the Steward Liu that Hou Liang mentioned.

When this Steward Liu called them, he also glanced at Sun Xuan with warning eyes.

It seemed to express dissatisfaction with Sun Xuan's late arrival in the morning.

Sun Xuan sneered inwardly, raised his foot, and continued to dig pits.

Steward Liu was merely an ant; as long as he didn't truly provoke him, Sun Xuan couldn't be bothered to care.

The sun gradually slanted westward. Because Sun Xuan had absorbed quite a few Physique attributes, a whole afternoon of digging pits and paving stones did not make him feel overly fatigued.

Moreover, after this afternoon passed, Sun Xuan picked up many more Physique attributes and Basic Pugilism attributes.

Just when Sun Xuan thought the afternoon was almost over, a burst of commotion suddenly erupted from among the group of guards at this moment.

"Master Han, show the brothers a couple of moves.

Usually, we always hear you talk about the days when you wandered the Jianghu in your youth. Today, Master Zhao happened to return from a business trip.

Why don't the two of you elders broaden our horizons!"

A guard said excitedly to the old man who had always been teaching them.

Beside this old man whom they called Master Han, there was also a middle-aged man who had just arrived at the plaza.

Judging by their tone, it seemed he was the Master Zhao they spoke of.

As soon as the guard's voice fell, waves of echoing voices immediately resounded across the bluestone plaza.

Master Han looked at the expectant expressions of these robust men, chuckled, and scolded them curses:

"You little brats, not practicing martial arts properly and thinking about such nonsense all day long.

However, I'm in a good mood today, and it happens to coincide with Brother Zhao returning to the estate.

Showing you a couple of moves is not out of the question."

After Master Han finished speaking to the men on the plaza, he turned his head and spoke to Master Zhao:

"How about it, Brother Zhao? Let us two spar a bit and broaden the horizons for this group of little brats."

Hearing this, Master Zhao immediately laughed heartily and said:

"Since Elder Brother Han invites, how could this younger brother dare to refuse.

It just so happens that today I can experience Elder Brother Han's Shattered Jade Hand and cross-validate it with my own martial arts."

As soon as these words were spoken, the robust men on the entire bluestone plaza immediately scattered toward the perimeter of the plaza.

They cleared out a large space in the middle completely.

And those two, Master Han and Master Zhao, also set up their stances in the center of the plaza.

Sun Xuan, who was digging pits at the edge of the bluestone plaza, saw this scene and couldn't help thinking secretly in his heart:

"Could this be a low-level Wuxia world?

If that's the case, this descent will yield far less return than I imagined."
