This place is also a part of the Western Region Mountain Range, with an abundance of monster beasts for Ling Xiao to practice with.
With the Tai Chi Eye and the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, any martial technique Ling Xiao practiced was very easy.
Once he mastered the basics, his cultivation speed was extrely fast.
Moreover, having previously practiced more than one mid-tier Jade martial technique, he had beco adept at it.
On the first day, he reached the entry level of the Falling Star Sword Art!
On the second day, he reached small success in the Falling Star Sword Art!
On the third day, he beca proficient in the Falling Star Sword Art!
On the fourth day, Ling Xiao finally achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, thanks to hunting a large number of monster beasts and gaining substantial experience, coupled with the effects of the Falling Star Sword Art.
He broke through to the half-step Yin-Yang realm's primary power stage.
But this was just the beginning, and he wasn't satisfied.
On the fifth day, Ling Xiao finally cultivated the Falling Star Sword Art to the great success realm!
On the sixth day, the Falling Star Sword Art was cultivated to great perfection!
On the last day, Ling Xiao easily slew a monster beast at the eighth layer of power in the half-step Yin-Yang realm with the Falling Star Sword Art, and took its crystal core.
Returning to Eight Immortals County City.
By this ti, his cultivation level had reached the pinnacle of the primary power stage, and he could break through to the middle power stage at any mont.
However, because the surrounding monster beasts were too afraid to appear, and the ti had co, he had no choice but to return to Eight Immortals County City.
The last ti he entered the city, he was too preoccupied to notice its size.
Now, he was amazed at the sheer scale.
While Yuhua Town had only a population of 200,000, Eight Immortals County City had over ten million!
This was engraved on the large stone tablet at the city entrance.
Even if there might be so discrepancies, it's likely not far off that Eight Immortals County City's population was in the tens of millions.
Moreover, within the county city, the aura of martial artists with Yin-Yang realm cultivation was everywhere. Any ordinary Cave Heaven Realm martial artist would find it very difficult to bear in such an environnt.
But Ling Xiao, as a martial artist experienced in mortal reincarnation, and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, could remain calm in such an environnt.
When Ling Xiao arrived beneath the Eight Immortals Tower, he noticed soone sitting by the window on the second floor.
It was Shen Shi, who he almost killed seven days ago.
Interestingly, Shen Shi's aura was much stronger than seven days ago. At this point, he had broken through to six layers of power in the half-step Yin-Yang realm.
"Did he break through? Truly a mber of a great family, not only did he fully recover from his injuries, but his cultivation also broke through. Probably the martial arts techniques he practiced have improved as well."
Ling Xiao glanced at Shen Shi and smirked: "He'd better not ss with . I can overlook what happened that day, but if he dares to cause trouble again, I will kill him!"
With that in mind, he entered the Eight Immortals Tower.
After freshening up, Ling Xiao ordered so wine in a private room, waiting for the Eight Immortals Mountain assessnt to begin.
He picked a room right next to Shen Shi's.
The intention was simply to eavesdrop on what Shen Shi had to say, as soone from a great family often had access to the most accurate information.
Moreover, Shen Shi's brother, Shen Chonɡ, was a disciple of Eight Immortals Mountain, so he probably knew even more.
"Young master, this ti you truly have fortune after a great disaster. You couldn't break through for the longest ti, but after getting severely injured and receiving spiritual dicine from the steward of Eight Immortals Mountain, you broke through."
"And even the mid-tier Jade martial technique, Storm Eagle, reached the great success realm.
If you encounter Ling Xiao again, just let him die!"
The speaker was likely one of Shen Shi's lackeys.
"Bang!"
It seed like a cup was slamd and shattered, followed by Shen Shi's voice.
"That Ling Xiao deserves to die, but for now, the priority is to join Eight Immortals Mountain quickly!
My brother Shen Chonɡ isn't as talented as , yet his cultivation has already reached the early Hell stage of the Yin-Yang realm, while I'm still lingering in the half-step Yin-Yang realm!
The resources of Eight Immortals Mountain are far superior, incomparable to our Three Great Families."
"Please don't worry, young master, you will certainly manage to join Eight Immortals Mountain. With your talent, it should be a breeze.
Once you join, I believe it won't be long before you break through to the Yin-Yang realm. Then perhaps Steward Lin Ruoxian would agree to marry you."
A sycophant who knows how to flatter, naturally knows how to pick pleasing words.
"Hahaha, well said, it's indeed a piece of cake. That girl Lin Ruoxian, who dared stop my brother from killing that boy last ti; once I marry her, I'll teach her how to behave as a woman, hehehe."
Shen Shi's laughter suddenly turned lecherous.
"What a scumbag. Lin Ruoxian has been kind to . So be it, during the assessnt, I'll make sure this scumbag suffers a bit, and then obediently roll back to his Shaw Clan."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao muttered internally.
Lin Ruoxian, though a stranger to him, had blocked Shen Chonɡ's attack for his sake.
Though if he'd activated the Hell Dragon Seal, Shen Chonɡ might not have been a match for him, doing so would have left him gravely injured again, unable to even deal with a few of Shaw Clan's lackeys.
Thus, Lin Ruoxian had practically saved his life; how could he tolerate Shen Shi's reckless defamation?
Most likely, he would encounter Shen Shi during the assessnt, and with a bit of manipulation, it would be easy to have Shen Shi eliminated.
Thinking of entering Eight Immortals Mountain? Not a chance!
How dare you, bastard, offend and try to insult my benefactor?
Next door, Shen Shi was oblivious to Ling Xiao's plans, and continued speaking exuberantly: "Eight Immortals Mountain is divided into Upper Baxian and Lower Baxian. This assessnt, I'm only entering Lower Baxian.
One must achieve sothing in the eight mountain ranges of Lower Baxian to have any hope of becoming a disciple of the Upper Baxian ranges.
It's truly frustrating. With my talents, I should be directly entering the mountain ranges of Upper Baxian."
"Of course, young master, you are incredibly gifted, a rare talent for a hundred years. This Lower Baxian assessnt has about a hundred participants each ti, and only the top eight qualify to join Eight Immortals Mountain.
But you are surely going to be selected."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile. Selecting eight out of a hundred was quite a slim chance, but it was nothing to worry about.
At the White Tiger Summit, with so many geniuses, didn't he secure the first place?
Failure to claim first in the admission assessnt of Eight Immortals Mountain would cost him face as the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty; how could he then boast to his good brothers?
Ling Xiao's entire life has been about first place, second isn't worth his attention.
Just as he was musing, a voice suddenly rang out in Eight Immortals Tower: "Those participating in the Eight Immortals Mountain entrance assessnt, please gather downstairs."
Hearing this voice, Ling Xiao put down his chopsticks and stood up.
Though he had gone through mortal reincarnation once, before that, he was only eighteen years old.
He still possessed the youthful drive and competitive spirit.
