The result of that great battle was obvious and clear!
Dozens of "evil sects" were wiped out in a short period of time.
Too many experts from "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" had gone, surrounding the area so tightly that not a drop of water could get through.
Many cultivators from "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" were blocked on the outer perimeter, let alone attacking; they didn't even see the shadows of the "demonic cultivators" before the entire battle was over.
It was quite disheartening!
And a great sense of loss!
This "great battle" had completely cemented the fame of "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
In short, in a large area surrounding the "East Barren Mountain Range," the name "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" was renowned.
The "demonic cultivators" no longer dared to provoke the cultivators of "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Even many "leaders of evil sects" packed up and fled overnight.
Chaos ensued.
However, even so, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the cultivators from "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" for "dungeon crawling."
They continued to fan out, extending their "evil claws" to evil sects even further away...
"Brother Xiaoyao," Li Xiaoyao, had recently stopped his "dungeon crawling" activities.
The reason? He was "jointly boycotted."
Li Xiaoyao was simply too strong!
With his "Myriad Sword Art" perfectly fused with his "Azure Origin Sword Intent."
Coupled with his own advancement to the "Golden Core Grand Perfection realm."
Uh, no, Li Xiaoyao was not just at the "Golden Core Grand Perfection realm."
In fact, when the "starry green light" erupted last time, and the entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" turned into a giant "medicine garden," stimulated by the powerful "medicinal fragrance and energy," Li Xiaoyao had broken through his bottleneck and could ascend to the "Nascent Soul realm" at any time.
At that time, it wasn't just Li Xiaoyao; over three hundred cultivators experienced similar situations.
Later, Hao Ren, in order to save everyone and prevent them from being struck to death by the "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation," specially used his "Great Divine Ability" (from now on, the xxxx skill will be renamed this) to seal everyone's cultivation, making them temporarily postpone their advancement.
For others, this might have been a "lifesaving" act.
But for "Brother Xiaoyao," it was unnecessary, completely unnecessary!
With Li Xiaoyao's current strength, if he used "Myriad Sword Art," a single move "Myriad Swords Returning to Origin," he could probably directly obliterate the "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation."
It would only take him a moment to advance to the "Nascent Soul realm."
The "realm seal" cast by the "Great Divine Ability" was not mandatory; it could be lifted by the cultivator's own will at any time.
As long as a cultivator felt they had accumulated enough to withstand the "Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation," they could lift the seal and break through the realm at any time.
In other words, it would still only take Li Xiaoyao a moment to advance to the "Nascent Soul realm."
However, after considering for a while, Li Xiaoyao temporarily gave up on advancing to the "Nascent Soul realm."
The reason?
He didn't want to create a "generation gap" with his "first-generation sword renters" brothers.
The "first-generation sword renters" were all at the "Golden Core realm," and many of them were at the "late Golden Core stage." If Li Xiaoyao advanced to the "Nascent Soul realm" now, it would put too much pressure on others!
"Brother Xiaoyao" was such a warm-hearted man, always considering others wholeheartedly.
However, Xu Changqing, Yun Tianhe, and the other "first-generation sword renters" were too disloyal. They actually colluded with the other cultivators of "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" and jointly boycotted Li Xiaoyao's "dungeon crawling."
They claimed that Li Xiaoyao's "dungeon crawling" speed was too ferocious, severely affecting the fairness and impartiality of the "dungeon crawling" activity.
Hmph!
Outrageous!
Whenever Li Xiaoyao thought about this, his stomach was filled with anger.
Was his "dungeon crawling" speed fast?
Well, perhaps it was a little fast.
Generally, Li Xiaoyao would use one move, "Myriad Swords Returning to Origin," to wipe out the entire "evil sect" from top to bottom, including the "demonic cultivators" and the "mountain protection formation," in one go.
The entire process, at most, took about ten seconds.
Well, perhaps it was "a tiny bit" fast!
If Li Xiaoyao put in some effort and was serious, counting the time to find "dungeons," he could clear about ten "evil sects" a day without issue.
Li Xiaoyao's personal best record was clearing twenty-five "dungeons" in a single day.
He was truly the "king of kings" in the "dungeon crawling world"!
Now, they didn't call Li Xiaoyao "Brother Xiaoyao"; they called him "Huajuan" (Flower Roll)!
Heh, heh heh...
In short, Li Xiaoyao was jointly boycotted.
For a short period, he was not allowed to go "dungeon crawling" anymore.
"Brother Xiaoyao" was depressed, so he simply left "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" to relax outdoors.
He "flew on his sword" aimlessly, wandering randomly in the sky.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he discovered a good place to go.
Qingyang Village!
Back when Li Xiaoyao had just obtained the "Azure Origin Immortal Sword," he was still a "newbie." He had saved the entire "Qingyang Village" from several "demonic cultivators."
The entire villagers of "Qingyang Village" were deeply grateful to Li Xiaoyao. They vowed to build a shrine for him and offer incense to him day and night.
Li Xiaoyao refused.
He felt he was not worthy of enjoying "offerings and incense."
If anyone deserved it, in the entire "East Barren Mountain Range," no, in the entire world, no one was more qualified than the "Senior"!
Therefore, Li Xiaoyao asked the villagers of "Qingyang Village" to build a shrine to honor the Senior and offer incense to him day and night.
So much time had passed; he wondered how "Qingyang Village" was doing.
Just then, Li Xiaoyao happened to be nearby "Qingyang Village."
Let's go and see!
Li Xiaoyao spurred the flying sword beneath his feet, turning into a streak of rainbow light, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Li Xiaoyao's "sword flight" speed was extremely fast, and he arrived above "Qingyang Village" in a flash.
Wow!
Li Xiaoyao looked at the incredibly prosperous "Qingyang Village" and couldn't help but be greatly surprised!
This, this was completely different from the dilapidated and backward small mountain village in his memory.
The population had increased more than tenfold!
It was bustling with activity and crowded!
All around were newly built houses, neatly arranged, a pleasing sight.
Furthermore, several "commercial streets" had been opened, with shops lining the streets, their calls echoing.
"Qingyang Village" today was no longer a village; it was clearly a lively and extraordinary town!
How could this be?
"Brother Xiaoyao" was curious. He didn't rush to reveal himself but quietly hid behind a patch of leisurely white clouds, observing the changes in the entire "Qingyang Village," or rather, now it should be called "Qingyang Town"!
Soon, Li Xiaoyao found the place he cared about most.
"The Senior's shrine statue"!
Uh...
It had been upgraded from a simple hut to a mansion!
The original "shrine statue" was built in a low, small house, barely able to shelter it from wind and rain.
Now...
