Chapter 1159: Cleaning (Still a Few Hundred Words)
The names Xu Chihong and Meng Zihong spread like a hurricane swiftly through various Immortal Cities, with countless cultivators knowing and remembering them deeply.
Of course, besides those cultivators who personally witnessed Meng Zihong carrying the corpse of a Demon Cultivator at the Realm of Human Immortality that day, others didn't quite believe the rumor.
Even though Meng Zihong had already been crowned with the title of the number one in the Individual Immortal Realm, and Xu Chihong had also gained some fame.
However, when the Demonic Tao offered an extremely high price for their lives, all rumors were completely shattered!
"So incredible, to be able to reverse slaughter a Human Immortal with an Independent Immortal's cultivation, and not just defeat them, but directly kill them. The title of the number one Independent Immortal is truly well-deserved!"
"And I heard that Meng Zihong comes from a Loose Cultivator background, it's really giving us Loose Cultivators a lot of face!"
"That Xu Chihong is also very powerful, I once witnessed her slaying a Demon Cultivator, the scene filled with killing aura left a deep impression on me to this day."
The praises surged towards the two like a tide, making them role models in the hearts of cultivators below the Individual Immortal Realm for a time.
However, this fame also brought some trouble to the two of them.
Such as some Independent Immortals with notable backgrounds and high pride not accepting them, wanting to challenge them, and among them, it wasn't certain that there weren't those who intended to step on them to make a name for themselves.
At the same time, there was another group of cultivators in action.
"You want to invite Meng Zihong, Xu Chihong to join the family?"
Instead of planning to challenge them, they were attempting to invite them to join their own forces.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to achieve." Or rather, there's almost no hope.
With Meng Zihong's qualifications and talent, how could there be no force inviting him?
But before he grew up, he didn't choose to join any force, now that he was about to break through to Human Immortal, how could he possibly change his mind now.
Unless offering extremely good conditions, such as Inheritance Skills at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
And those forces able to offer such things were all top-tier large forces, even if they didn't have a youth as dazzling as Meng Zihong, surely they had someone only slightly inferior.
As for 'Xu Chihong', she had previously stated that she had an inheritance and was not a Loose Cultivator.
"There's no harm in trying, surely Meng Zihong knows himself that as his cultivation gets higher and higher, if he continues solo fights, it would delay his own cultivation."
After all, many rare Spiritual Objects were monopolized by various large forces, almost never circulating in the outside world, only exchanged between them.
Upon hearing this, that person didn't oppose again, though he still felt unreliable in his heart.
However, when numerous cultivators outside, for various reasons, sought Meng Zihong and Xu Chihong, they found both had vanished without a trace, as if disappearing into thin air, completely untraceable.
Because that great battle had brought rich rewards to both of them, they were in seclusion, working hard to digest it, having no time to pay attention to these disturbances from the outside world.
Especially since Li Zhixuan quietly returned to the Immortal City, no one noticed her, and Meng Zihong, after getting famed, changed his appearance and went to another Immortal City.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, several decades passed.
Previously always in seclusion, Li Zhixuan only emerged after breaking through to the late-stage Independent Immortal.
Initially, she hadn't intended to break through, but unexpectedly the gains were so significant that she couldn't hold back and went ahead to break through the barrier.
After all, opportunities should not be missed, who knows when the next one would come? Anyway, her foundation is solid, and cultivating a bit faster doesn't matter.
Once Li Zhixuan emerged from seclusion, discussions about the two of them in the outside world had long vanished, and since she had little contact with outsiders, she wasn't aware of the past events.
After the breakthrough, Li Zhixuan, as before, wielded the Three-feet Qingfeng, entering the battlefield to slay Demon Cultivators, using the most efficient way to consolidate her cultivation.
But perhaps after fighting a Demon Cultivator at the Realm of Human Immortality, her vision broadened, now battling other Individual Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators felt much easier than before, making the process of slaying Demon Cultivators quite effortless.
However, in such battles, Li Zhixuan's realm quickly consolidated, and her foundation once again became solid.
When she found that she wouldn't have any improvement in the short term, she decided not to continue going to the battlefield.
The advantage of cultivating the Sword Dao of Slaughter is gaining feedback from slaying living beings, thereby enhancing one's cultivation.
But this advantage's premise is that one's realm is stable and Dao Heart resilient, not being influenced by Evil Qi and Killing Aura, otherwise, one would suffer a backlash and go insane!
So Li Zhixuan had to temper her Dao Heart periodically, ensuring no threat to herself.
But just when Li Zhixuan planned to leave, a sudden Thunder Tribulation halted her steps.
Judging from the energy fluctuations around, this was an Independent Immortal facing the Thunder Tribulation in an attempt to become a Human Immortal.
This Thunder Tribulation would be somewhat helpful for Li Zhixuan, allowing her to understand the power of a Human Immortal's Thunder Tribulation in advance, and be more confident in passing it in the future.
The tribulation clouds madly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, becoming extremely heavy in the blink of an eye, clearly brewing terrifying energy within.
