Before embarking on the formal cultivation, Lyu Liang spent three days to sort out the loot he had obtained. Then, with the help of Heaven-burning Ancestor, he went to meet Mu Xiaozi.

At this point, Mu Xiaozi was in another space of the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, which was similar, with an ancestral hall. When Lyu Liang entered the space, Mu Xiaozi, who was frowning in deep thought, rubbed her eyes hard, then burst into tears and rushed directly into Lyu Liang’s arms, “Is it you? I was transferred to this strange and boring place, and I have no idea how to get out.”

Lyu Liang touched Mu Xiaozi’s head with a smile and whispered, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you out of here and give you an opportunity.”

Then Lyu Liang took Mu Xiaozi to his own space, presented her a pile of medicinal pills, which could be used at the Gold Core stage, as well as some magic treasures and Primordial Stones he did not need. It was worth mentioning that because the cultivation of the people killed by Lyu Liang were almost at the Nascent Soul stage or the Void Return stage, he obtained a considerable amount of high-quality Primordial Stones.

He obtained more than 3,000 upper-grade Primordial Stones, over 500,000 mid-grade Primordial Stones, and tens of thousands of lower-grade Primordial Stones. However, its number was the least of the three. Lyu Liang took only one-third of them for himself, while the rest of Primordial Stones were all given to Mu Xiaozi.

Mu Xiaozi did not want to accept initially, but at Lyu Liang’s insistence, she suddenly remembered something and finally accepted them.

After settling this matter, Lyu Liang began his real cultivation. This space was full of high-quality Primordial Qi, Devil Qi and Demon Qi. According to Heaven-burning Ancestor, this kind of mixed Qi was called Spiritual Qi, and its level was completely comparable with that of the Virtual Land!

In the following days, Lyu Liang practiced his swordplay with Heaven-burning Ancestor during the day and went to refine the Little Bear Guarding Spirits in the evening. As for Mu Xiaozi, she was just like Lyu Liang’s shadow. The place she chose for cultivating changed according to Lyu Liang’s position. She was a few feet away from Lyu Liang each time.

During his cultivation, Lyu Liang sighed with emotion from his heart, “The master’s guidance does make a great difference!”

Lyu Liang had delved into cultivating Xuanyuan Skill, Kun Peng Skill, and Devil Reshaping Technique, which he had obtained in the Virtual Land before, on his own. Whenever he encountered problems or bottlenecks, he had to find ways to overcome them by himself.

But now, Heaven-burning Ancestor not only taught him sword techniques, but also helped him to solve his problems. He even gave guidance on other Cultivation Methods and sword techniques Lyu Liang cultivated. At the beginning, Lyu Liang was enlightened, but he almost felt numb with all the new skills he acquired. He was like a newborn baby, greedily absorbing and digesting the profound meaning of the sword techniques he had never thought of or noticed before.

…

Time flew by, a hundred years passed by in the blink of an eye.

There were nine styles in Heaven-burning Sword Formation. During this period, Lyu Liang had mastered eight of them. Simultaneously, he studied the ninth style of Xuanyuan Swordsmanship. Although he had even practiced the tenth style, he had failed to figure out the complete moves. However, Heaven-burning Ancestor reassured him that he still needed an opportunity before mastering the tenth style, and that he might as well take his time and wait until the opportunity came.

The best news was that his cultivation had reached the Early-stage of the Void Return stage. In addition to the strong Spiritual Qi in this place, the medicinal pills given by Heaven-burning Ancestor also played a decisive role.

It was a type of medicinal pill that Lyu Liang had never seen before. Its effect was amazing even though it looked gray and inconspicuous! Each time Lyu Liang encountered the bottlenecks, he would successfully break through after three to five years if he ate one.

The kind of medicinal pills that Lyu Liang cherished very much were like jelly beans for Heaven-burning Ancestor, so he gave Lyu Liang a lot. Moreover, Heaven-burning Ancestor told him that these medicinal pills would only be effective with the aura of such quality, and that they only had an effect on him before reaching the Peak of the Void Return stage. After he became a Fairy Immortal, they would be of no use to him.

Rather than waste any more time, Lyu Liang called Mu Xiaozi and gave her most of the medicinal pills, leaving only five for himself. After all, he did not need so much as he was already at the Early-stage of Void Return.

Since a hundred years had passed, Lyu Liang simply planned to refine his Sword Tao Field Domain. Meanwhile, with the rare Spiritual Qi of such high quality, he had better speed up his cultivation of the Devil Reshaping Technique and Kun Peng Skill.

There was another thing that gratified Lyu Liang. After his relentless refinement, the four sleeping Little Bear Guarding Spirits had all woken up, and each of them possessed a cultivation aura of the Early-stage of Nascent Soul.

According to Heaven-burning Ancestor, Lyu Liang could leave them alone once they woke up. Guarding spirits would cultivate themselves, and when their cultivation was at the same level with Fairy Immortals, Lyu Liang would become the true master of the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation.

Lyu Liang had thought that Heaven-burning Ancestor was the first owner. However, Heaven-burning Ancestor laughed loudly and said, “I’m not the master, you are. I was asked by others to wait here with two magic treasures. Now that the people have already appeared, my mission is accomplished. Since you refined the guarding spirits, you’re certainly the first owner here!”

…

Another sixty years passed.

One day, just as Lyu Liang understood the tenth layer of Devil Reshaping Technique thoroughly, he found Murong Wuji, someone he had not seen in ages, standing at a distance and smiling at him. Behind him were his brush and a bow. The brush was the same as the one he had seen before, but the bow had changed into a golden longbow that looked ordinary but contained supreme power.

After realizing that Lyu Liang had finished his understanding, Murong Wuji, who had reached the Peak of Void Return, rushed over with great excitement, patted him heavily on the shoulder and said with a laugh, “Brother, congratulations on your extraordinary refined cultivation and sword technique! Besides, I can’t thank you more! Please accept my respects!” After he finished speaking, he actually dropped on one knee and bowed.

Lyu Liang was shocked, hurriedly helped him up and said repeatedly, “Taoism brother Murong, you can’t do this! We’ve sworn to live or die together. You overwhelm me with more than what I deserve!”

Murong Wuji got up and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter! I’m originally a casual observer, and I would not have been able to get such a big opportunity without you! Therefore, I should worship you and don’t turn me away!”

Lyu Liang then learned that Murong Wuji had succeeded in mastering the Bliss Bow, which was one of the ancient ten artifacts, over the last one hundred years! While feeling amazed, Lyu Liang was really happy for him to have such an opportunity.

After saying these words, Murong Wuji had to go because he had to return to the space to study the bowing method. He came here to thank Lyu Liang and told him that Lyu Liang must call him if he ever wanted to continue the attack on the Xueling Sect!

After another twenty years, Lyu Liang’s cultivation had been refined into the Late-stage of Void Return. In the meantime, he had understood the eleventh layer of the Devil Reshaping Technique and the fifth layer of the Kun Peng Skill thoroughly.

Among them, his proudest achievement was the perfection of the Sword Tao Field Domain. Under the indefatigable guidance of Heaven-burning Ancestor, Lyu Liang could already use the last style of the Heaven-burning Sword Formation. Meanwhile, his various swordsmanship had been almost perfectly integrated into the Field Domain.

Now, it was Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and Heart Swordsmanship that formed the main part of the Field Domain, with Heaven-burning Sword Formation as its most powerful attack method and God Whipping Whip as one of its part. His Field Domain was definitely beyond comparison.

At the same time, Lyu Liang’s Sword Tao Field Domain began to carry a vast force of heaven and earth. According to Heaven-burning Ancestor, this was the embryonic form of the power of the law at the beginning. As for the complete form of the power of the law, it required Lyu Liang’s own penetration whenever he had an opportunity.

As a result, Lyu Liang also gave Dreamless Heavenly Lord a thumb up inwardly: He was indeed worthy of having Sword Immortal constitution with demon aptitude. He actually touched the threshold of the power of the law when he was at the Middle-stage of Nascent Soul, and fully understood the power of the law at the Peak of Void Return. No wonder he would be famous in the Heaven Realm!

At this point, Lyu Liang had been in the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation for 180 years, and it was time to leave. Although he could continue to practice until he reached the Peak of Void Return, he was too impatient.

Furthermore, as the levels of all kinds of Mind Mantra and Cultivation Methods had reached the limit, it would be of no use for him to spend another hundred years on cultivation only.

More importantly, Lyu Liang had confidence in defeating the Xueling Sect now! Even if he did not activate Ghost Devil Head, by virtue of Human-Beast Unite only, Lyu Liang was confident that it would be so difficult for the people whose level was below the Xuan Immortal stage to kill him!

Taking this situation into consideration, Lyu Liang planned to leave the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. Of course, he had to do something necessary before leaving.

First of all, he had to say goodbye to Heaven-burning Ancestor. In the face of the teacher who offered his great help on Sword Tao, any words of gratitude sounded feeble. After directly dropping on his knees and kowtowing ten times, Lyu Liang stated his case.

Heaven-burning Ancestor seemed to have waited a long time for Lyu Liang’s leaving, so he laughed loudly and said, “Go! If you leave, I’ll leave too! I have been here for more than ten thousand years, and I finally can go out! Oh, if I weren’t the slowest among the three of us, I wouldn’t be caught by the old guy and be forced to stay here.”

In the end, Heaven-burning Ancestor also called for the Double-headed Giant Tiger. After a while, the Giant Tiger disappeared, and a bronze ancient sword with a complicated pattern appeared in the sky.

“This sword, called Kunwu Sword, is one of the ancient ten artifacts of the Pangu Origin world. The Giant Tiger was the sword spirit. Unfortunately, since you are not a Sword Immortal constitution, you cannot harness the Bliss Bow like the one who had a Heaven-bow Body. You can come here again when you become a Fairy Immortal, and you may choose the Kunwu Sword as your life-bonded divine weapon once you are recognized by it! As for the power, I can’t tell you the details. But you should know that with the Kunwu Sword, you will be not far from the day of reaching the Peak of Sword Tao.” These were the last few words Heaven-burning Ancestor spoke to him. He was more anxious than Lyu Liang was, and disappeared directly after he finished speaking.

Lyu Liang looked at the Kunwu Sword, which was floating in the air. He clenched his fists and turned to leave. He was going to look for Murong Wuji and Mu Xiaozi, for it was time to let the Xueling Sect disappear for good!

After Lyu Liang gave her those gray medicinal pills, Mu Xiaozi chose to start the closed-door meditation. After Lyu Liang passed her a message, it was a short time before a silver-haired fairy who emitted the aura of the Peak of Nascent Soul, showed up.

Once she caught sight of Lyu Liang, Mu Xiaozi’s eyes were filled with tenderness and she became more reserved. Lyu Liang was slightly stunned, faintly remembering Zi Tong Fairy’s appearance and temperament.

As soon as Lyu Liang called him, Murong Wuji appeared immediately and was filled with anger. He patted his chest and said, “Brother, look at my performance in a moment. Although my cultivation is not enough, I have the Bliss Bow, and I’ll destroy the Xueling Sect!

Before leaving the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation, Lyu Liang had gone to see the four guarding spirits, which had grown into big bears. Since they were awakened by Lyu Liang’s refinement, they regarded him as father and master.

The instant they heard that Lyu Liang was going to leave, they all became tearful, which broke Lyu Liang’s heart. In the end, Lyu Liang promised them that after he had completed his tasks, he would come back to see them and made arrangements for them.

…

Three days later, the place where the Zi Tong tribe was located, was already in ruins. After a while, waves of ripples flashed in the air and three figures showed up. They were Lyu Liang, Mu Xiaozi and Murong Wuji.

When Mu Xiaozi looked at the ruined Zi Tong tribe, her eyes were full of tears. However, she bit her lip stubbornly and forced herself to hold back the tears. She had sworn that she would never weep before ruining the Xueling Sect!

“Let’s go to the headquarters of the Xueling Sect to deal with them!” Lyu Liang said solemnly. After uttering these words, the three of them flew off.
