I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"Not good, what is this sinister object?"

The two Immortal Heavenly Venerables were startled to find that the threads spreading from Duowu's eyes were impervious to attacks. No matter how they attacked, the threads could not be destroyed!

"Friend Xu, get out of here quickly!"

One of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables urgently advised.

"Coming!"

Xu Yan remained calm and composed, instantly arriving at the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto.

At that moment, a few threads had already crisscrossed the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto, resembling spider silk, and they were in the process of forming a web.

"Hum!"

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, swung his sword, and with a poof, he cut through the threads, obliterating part of them.

The two Immortal Heavenly Venerables were shocked beyond measure.

"Duowu, I'm serious. Unless you give me the treasure I need, I will not let this go," Xu Yan said with a smile, looking back at Duowu.

He stepped out of the Heavenly Grotto.

Duowu watched Xu Yan leave, his face dark as night, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and a deepening sense of dread.

"What kind of Sword Dao is that? It can even destroy my Duowu threads!"

Not only was it fearless against his Evil Eye Light, but it could also cut through his Duowu threads. If Xu Yan were to grow, he would become a great threat.

You should know, these Duowu threads are a special substance, ordinary Martial Arts force cannot harm it, only Divine Spirit Soul Force could. But once the Divine Spirit Soul Force touches the Duowu threads, it would be corroded by the power of Duowu, making the Divine Soul will lazy.

This is why, those who faced his Duowu thread attacks were so wary.

Except for those with exceptionally strong Divine Souls who possessed powerful Divine Soul Secret Techniques, any strong person facing his Duowu threads would handle them with utmost caution.

And Xu Yan, with a simple wave of his hand, had cut through the Duowu threads, which meant that his Sword Dao power was immensely powerful, even capable of restraining his threads!

This child, absolutely must not be left alive!

Duowu's gaze was icy, "Taicang Domain has produced such a monstrosity, could it be that Taicang is about to have a second ruler?"

Looking at the Heavenly Grotto, he felt somewhat helpless, limited by the restrictions of this place, he could only summon a fraction of his power.

The next day, Xu Yan returned to the Duowu Cave, not uttering a word before striking and killing a batch of Witch Marionettes.

Duowu appeared in a rage, even attempting a sneak attack.

After a tangled fight, Xu Yan retreated.

"Duowu, without the Seven Wonders Divine Flower, or similar treasures, I will not cease. I'll come back tomorrow!"

Xu Yan left the Heavenly Grotto gracefully.

His goal was simple, to continuously emphasize the Seven Wonders Divine Flower to give Duowu the impression that he desired treasures of that sort.

Furthermore, to incessantly provoke Duowu, deepening his killing intent. Over time, if Duowu was acquainted with the Seductive Witch, this matter would inevitably reach her ears.

With the Seductive Witch's anger towards him, she would definitely find a way to set a trap, luring him into it.

Day after day, Xu Yan entered the Heavenly Grotto, until eventually, there were no Witch Marionettes left; Duowu had taken them all back.

In the entire Heavenly Grotto, only Duowu remained.

"Xu Yan, you've gone too far!"

Duowu roared, frantically charging over, rushing straight to the entrance of the Heavenly Grotto, startling the Immortal Heavenly Venerable stationed there who hastily acted to suppress.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Standing outside the Heavenly Grotto, Xu Yan watched Duowu rage inside with a radiant smile, "Duowu, give me the treasure I need and I'll leave right away, no longer bothering you!"

Duowu snorted coldly and turned away.

The two Immortal Heavenly Venerable looked at each other in shock. Was Xu Yan extorting Duowu?

That's just crazy!

Moreover, the two suddenly realized that it seemed Duowu was unable to leave the Heavenly Grotto?

If that was truly the case, then they wouldn't have to stand guard day and night anymore, for if Duowu couldn't leave the Heavenly Grotto, he also couldn't harm the Changyun Realm.

"Duowu, even the Seductive Witch can't leave the Heavenly Grotto, are they under some kind of restriction? Is it because they're just the force of avatars that has entered here?"

Xu Yan pondered thoughtfully.

Once again entering the Heavenly Grotto, this time Xu Yan was a bit more cautious, in case Duowu was deceitful, after all, such a strong person would have many tricks, not to be underestimated.

Unexpectedly, he found that Duowu's figure was no longer in the Heavenly Grotto.

"Duowu, where are you?"

Standing at the core of the Heavenly Grotto, Xu Yan looked up towards the entrance and called out loudly.

"What a waste!"

Xu Yan was somewhat exasperated, had Duowu really run away?

Seeing Xu Yan come out, the two Immortal Heavenly Venerables immediately tensed, closely monitoring the inside of the Heavenly Grotto, ready to counter any attack from Duowu.

"No need to be nervous, Duowu has run away, he's not in the Heavenly Grotto."

```

"Escaped?"

The two Immortal Heavenly Venerables were dumbfounded.

In the following days, Xu Yan entered the Duowu Cave every day, but did not see any sign of Duowu. It seemed that Duowu, impatient, had given up on this cave and stopped coming back.

"This Duowu is too fragile to tease."

Xu Yan was left with no choice but to acknowledge his failed plan.

"I'll make one more trip tomorrow, and if I don't see Duowu then, I'll leave the Changyun Realm."

Xu Yan made up his mind.

The next day, when Xu Yan entered the cave again, contrary to his expectations, Duowu actually appeared.

"Duowu, you dare to come?"

Xu Yan, sword in hand, looked ready to strike at any moment.

With a cold look, Duowu said, "The Seven Wonders Divine Flower is not here, but I will give you this treasure map. In the future, don't bother me again!"

He tossed over a scroll with a flick of his hand.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and caught the scroll, "A treasure map? Do you think I would fall for such a trick?"

Still with a cold demeanor, Duowu responded, "This is a secret location in your Domain, not only housing the Seven Wonders Divine Flower but also a stalk of Yu Zhu. It is said to be a treasure of heaven and earth, and I came upon it by chance thousands of years ago. If not for this cave's secret location being inaccessible from the outside sky, would I have given it to you so easily?"

"Really?"

"I never deceive. Here's the map, now stop bothering me."

After speaking, Duowu ignored Xu Yan and sat cross-legged at the core of the cave, closing his eyes to cultivate his spirit.

"I'll trust you this once!"

Xu Yan said, delighted.

He opened the scroll and looked at it, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Seductive Witch, was this your arrangement?"

Xu Yan was inwardly excited, his plan had succeeded.

However, this cave's secret location was bound to be extremely dangerous; it was likely that not only the Seductive Witch, but Duowu might also be lying in wait.

"Always appear with strength beyond your expectations!"

The breakthrough to the Perfection of the Physiognomy Realm would not be too far away, and the cave allowed only a certain level of strength for entrants.

Once he had achieved Perfection in the Physiognomy Realm, even the top Immortal Heavenly Venerables would not be feared, and he might even be able to defeat them.

With his numerous Martial Arts techniques, dealing with potential crises should pose no problem at all.

"Seductive Witch, don't disappoint me!"

Xu Yan left contentedly.

Opening his eyes, Duowu watched Xu Yan's departing figure, his gaze undisguised with chilling intent to kill.

"Boy, since you lust for treasures of heaven and earth, then let them be your burial items. Burying a monster from Taicang with a bit of those treasures is worth it."

Xu Yan's survival left a sense of unease in his heart.

A Taicang Martial Artist who was not affected by his Evil Eye Light and could easily annihilate his witchcraft was always a huge hidden danger, no matter how far the current strength of the other party was from his own.

But, after all, it was a potential threat.

Xu Yan came out of the cave and closely examined the opened scroll.

"Guang You Realm?"

The cave's secret location recorded on the treasure map was situated in the Guang You Realm, beneath a deep abyssal marsh, very hidden.

"The Guang You Realm is quite a distance from the Changyun Realm; on this journey, I'll try to accumulate some treasures. In two to three years, I should be able to reach the Guang You Realm. Let the Seductive Witch wait for me a bit longer."

Xu Yan estimated that on his travels through various realms, accumulating treasures and undergoing trials, it would take him two to three years to reach the Guang You Realm.

Of course, if he were to head directly to the Guang You Realm, merely traversing a few realms, it would be much quicker, but that was not in line with Xu Yan's goal of undergoing trials.

In every realm he visited, he would certainly go to the cave to undergo trials and gather unique treasures of the realms.

Packing away the treasure map, Xu Yan was about to go find Luo Zhan to get information on the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow division, but Luo Zhan had already sought him out first.

"Friend Xu, here's what you need—the concealed roster of Earth Shadows. For now, we've only confirmed these six; the rest are dead."

Luo Zhan handed a list to Xu Yan.

"Six, that should be enough."

Xu Yan took the list, ready to take revenge on Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow. By controlling these six Earth Shadows as a foundation, he planned to continuously expand the number of controlled individuals.

It was just a matter of using the method he had employed at Dahai Mountain in the Nine Mountain Realm once more, a technique with which Xu Yan was already uncommonly proficient.

"Friend Xu..."

Luo Zhan began to speak but suddenly his expression dramatically changed, his aura surged, and he grasped the Wolf Fang Club in his hands, abruptly looking up to the sky!

Two figures descended, their presence malignant, bringing Luo Zhan a strong sense of crisis.

The newcomers wore Ferocious Masks emblazoned with nine slender leaves on the visage!
