Chapter 150: Xuanming White Tiger, Selfless Sword Intent

Zhou Chen readily dropped the Spirit Stones, waved his hand, and collected all the items, including the ancient beast egg, into his Storage Ring. He then turned and left, the entire process flowing smoothly without any delay.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully snatching the Holy Son Xue Wuhen's Opportunity, the ancient beast egg, triggering a ten thousand-fold return. You have obtained the Ancient Imperial Rank Divine Beast Xuanming White Tiger Egg. Would you like to claim it immediately?”

“Claim immediately!”

As Zhou Chen's words fell, a brilliant light instantly erupted before his eyes, and a snow-white egg appeared, covered in profound Dao patterns, with a Geng Metal Qi emanating from its shell.

“Xuanming White Tiger Egg!”

Zhou Chen's breathing hitched, his eyes filled with ecstasy.

The Xuanming White Tiger, master of slaughter, is one of the famous Imperial Rank Divine Beasts of ancient times, its potential far surpassing that of ordinary ancient beasts!

“Little Red, come out!”

With a thought, Zhou Chen summoned the Profound Crystal Tiger, which had been staying in the Guiyi Secret Realm.

“Roar wuwu~”

As soon as Little Red appeared, he affectionately rubbed his massive head against Zhou Chen.

But when he saw the Xuanming White Tiger Egg, his tiger eyes instantly widened, and he almost drooled. This was a desire that originated from the depths of his Bloodline.

“Little Red, do you want to eat the ancient beast egg?”

Seeing that Little Red didn't even glance at the ancient beast egg beside him, Zhou Chen couldn't help but remind him.

Little Red shook his head without hesitation, his tiger eyes still fixed on the Xuanming White Tiger Egg.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chen roughly understood the reason. Little Red's grade was already relatively high, so the ancient beast egg wouldn't provide much improvement for him.

However, the Xuanming White Tiger Egg was different; its attraction to Little Red was fatal.

“Go on, greedy one, this is a gift for you.”

Zhou Chen smiled and patted his head.

Little Red let out a joyful roar, carefully walked to the White Tiger Egg, and opened his large mouth. Instead of swallowing it immediately, he spat out a ball of gentle Origin demonic power, enveloping the Divine Beast egg.

The next moment, the Divine Beast egg transformed into a brilliant stream of light, directly merging into Little Red's glabella.

Boom!

A terrifying Aura erupted from Little Red's body. His body was enveloped by a giant golden cocoon of light. While his Aura soared, it also gradually became silent.

“This is… going into an evolutionary slumber?”

Zhou Chen could feel that Little Red's life Aura was undergoing a world-shshattering transformation, but this process clearly required time.

He placed the cocoon of light into a safe space, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“Sword Emperor Legacy, chaos bell fragment, Divine Beast White Tiger Egg… This trip has been very fruitful.”

Zhou Chen nodded in satisfaction, pondering, “Chu Cangming seems like a good person for now, and with the Central Continent resource war about to begin, it's fine to give him the damaged Sword Emperor Legacy Jade Slip. Maybe I can even get some good things from it.”

Zhou Chen looked in the direction of Taichu Holy Land, the corners of his mouth curving upwards again.

Leeks, they need to be cut in batches to grow better.

Taichu Holy Land, First Sequence mountain peak.

Clouds swirled, and the strong winds whistled loudly.

A figure stood silently there, his Sword Intent pure, as if he had merged with the wind between heaven and earth.

It was Chu Cangming.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he was comprehending something, but a hint of persistent confusion lingered between his brows.

Ever since that inexplicable conversation with Zhou Chen outside the Scripture Pavilion last time, the word “good person” had been like a curse, constantly bothering him.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that after encountering Zhou Chen, his luck had worsened.

Before, he would casually encounter all sorts of Opportunities whenever he went out, but now, it had been a long time since any had appeared.

Just then, leisurely footsteps approached from afar.

Chu Cangming suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp Sword Light flashing.

“Chu Cangming, what an elegant pastime.”

The person who arrived was Zhou Chen, dressed in a purple-gold Daoist robe, his expression calm, as if he was merely strolling in his own backyard.

Chu Cangming looked at him with complex eyes: “What are you here for? If you wish to spar, I am always ready. But your method of fighting one against ten last time is still fresh in my memory.”

Zhou Chen chuckled upon hearing this: “The result is more important than the process. Besides, I was really in a hurry at the time.”

He walked to the edge of the cliff, his gaze cast towards the surging sea of clouds, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chu Cangming.

“Your sword is sharp, but your Dao is too lonely.”

Before his words finished, Zhou Chen flipped his hand, and a cracked, ancient Jade Slip appeared in his palm.

The Jade Slip exuded a vast and domineering Aura that one dared not ignore.

“This is…”

Chu Cangming's pupils suddenly contracted. Within this ancient Jade Slip, there was a terrifying Sword Dao True Intent that made his Soul tremble.

“A small trinket I picked up on the road. It's useless to me, but perhaps you can comprehend something from it.”

Zhou Chen said calmly, “A sword without an opponent is just tarnished common iron. I need an opponent, and I hope you won't disappoint me.”

After speaking, he flicked his finger, and the damaged Jade Slip transformed into a stream of light, lightly flying towards Chu Cangming.

Chu Cangming subconsciously caught the Jade Slip, feeling its warmth in his hand.

After a brief perception with his Divine Thought, his entire body froze, his mind blank.

This was an Imperial Rank Legacy?!!

Even if it was incomplete, this was an Imperial Rank Legacy that could drive any Holy Land mad!

Zhou Chen… just casually gave it to him?

Just because… he hoped for a stronger opponent?

What kind of magnanimity was this!

What kind of Aura!

In an instant, all of Chu Cangming's doubts and confusion about Zhou Chen, and even a hint of hostility, vanished into thin air.

In their place was an indescribable shock and emotion.

He had always pursued a pure Sword Dao, believing himself to be single-minded, but compared to the demeanor Zhou Chen displayed at this moment, his own pride was simply not worth mentioning.

It turned out he had always misunderstood Zhou Chen.

“Buzz——”

A towering Sword Intent shot up from Chu Cangming's body, stirring the winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens!

His Egoless Sword Intent, which had already reached a Bottleneck, suddenly broke through at this moment, becoming even purer and more ethereal, as if it had completely merged with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

“So that's it… Egoless doesn't mean heartless, but rather having only one sword and one thought in one's heart!”

Buzz.

Chu Cangming's Aura suddenly soared, and a towering Spiritual Qi longsword phantom abruptly appeared.

“Slash!”

Chu Cangming roared, and the Spiritual Qi longsword swung down fiercely.

Rumble!

Like a thunderclap, the sea of clouds before him was forcibly split in two. The edges of the cut clouds were sharp and remained separated for a long time, revealing the Taichu Holy Land beneath the sea of clouds.

However, despite such a grand display, it did not affect the mountain gate of Taichu Holy Land in any way, which spoke volumes about Chu Cangming's extraordinary talent.

The Realm that Sword Cultivators dreamed of, Sword Intent reaching Major Achievement, effortless control, and absolute mastery over one's Sword Qi, was achieved so naturally.

Egoless Sword Intent, Major Achievement!

“This kindness… I, Chu Cangming, will remember it!”

Just then, Chu Cangming suddenly looked up, intending to bow to Zhou Chen, but found that Zhou Chen had left at some unknown point. This made Chu Cangming shake his head helplessly.
