Chapter 146 Wenjia Mountain City
　　Ordinary cultivators rarely directly control magical treasures for long-distance travel. Even if the heaven and earth energy in the Barren Battle Realm is particularly abundant, there are still few cultivators who do this.

　　However, it doesn't matter if you use an Innate Spiritual Treasure. These spiritual treasures, naturally formed by heaven and earth, all possess powerful autonomous energy gathering effects, which can greatly reduce consumption. The user doesn't even need to provide much, greatly reducing the difficulty of continued operation.

　　Wenjia Mountain City sounds a bit small, but when you actually arrive, you will find that it is an extremely prosperous and grand city for cultivators.

　　The mountain city is built around the mountain, without city walls or fortresses, but the large and small buildings are scattered in a well-organized manner, built along the mountain.

　　This makes the entire city look particularly three-dimensional. Standing at a high place and looking out, the city is layered on top of each other, appearing complex and magical.

　　"Welcome to Wenjia Mountain City. Our entire mountain city is built against the mountain, gathering spiritual veins from all directions. There are a total of three thousand Grade A cave dwellings, one hundred thousand Grade B cave dwellings, and countless Grade C and lower-level cave dwellings."

　　"The number of registered cultivators in the mountain city exceeds 100,000, and the number of cultivators passing through our mountain city every day from north to south is even impossible to count." Wen Tingting babbled, introducing Wenjia Mountain City to Ye Chuxiao.

　　"Not bad, truly magnificent!" Ye Chuxiao exclaimed.

　　Entering the city, Wen Tingting presented her token and settled Ye Chuxiao into a Grade A cave dwelling.

　　Although called a cave dwelling, it is actually an independent small courtyard called Juchun Courtyard. Although the courtyard is small, it has everything, with a separate Spirit Gathering Array. Not only is the heaven and earth energy abundant, but the energy has also been sorted out, making it gentle and soothing, easy to absorb or utilize.

　　Of course, with Ye Chuxiao's current cultivation, it doesn't really matter what kind of cave dwelling he lives in.

　　If he was afraid of trouble, living in a Grade B cave dwelling would be quieter.

　　However, Ye Chuxiao's purpose in coming to Wenjia Mountain City this time is to set up a ring and battle against the heroes, so it doesn't matter.

　　He asked Wen Tingting to help with 'promotion'. Before Ye Chuxiao could settle down in the cave dwelling, challengers had already arrived.

　　The first to challenge Ye Chuxiao was a local of Wenjia Mountain City, surnamed Wen like Wen Tingting, but not from the direct line of the main family, but from a side branch... or even a retainer who was simply given the surname.

　　Their purpose in fighting Ye Chuxiao was simple: to represent the Wen family in testing Ye Chuxiao, and also to help Ye Chuxiao make a name for himself.

　　If Ye Chuxiao was just a paper tiger, then the Wen family itself would be a fierce tiger, eating Ye Chuxiao, this piece of fat meat, that had come to their mouths.

　　But if Ye Chuxiao was really a master, as Wen Tingting said, then the Wen family wouldn't mind giving him a hand and helping Ye Chuxiao succeed.

　　Ye Chuxiao understood the rules and did not hold back. He easily defeated these people sent by the Wen family to test him, proving his strength and deterring the Wen family.

　　After that, the name of Cold Blade Xiao Ye began to become well-known in Wenjia Mountain City.

　　Because Ye Chuxiao usually used the 'Snow' style among the Nine Styles of the Blade Master to fight, his blade moves were like a fierce invasion, freezing the land with icy storms, so he got the name Cold Blade.

　　Such a martial arts nickname can only be said to be neither surprising nor embarrassing.

　　One can even imagine that it won't be long before this title is updated and replaced.

　　The small 'Cold Blade' title cannot bear all of Ye Chuxiao's weight.

　　After that, Ye Chuxiao naturally set up a ring in the Juchun Courtyard in the mountain city. He won seven consecutive victories in one day, and twenty-two consecutive victories in three days, including well-known figures such as Dismal Dream Sanren Li Feiyu, Ancient Evil God Wen Lei, and Demon Blood Bodhisattva Jian Kong.

　　Stepping on the names of these people, Ye Chuxiao began to have a place among the cultivators in the Barren Battle Realm.

　　He is no longer an unknown person.

　　And through the repeated battles, Ye Chuxiao's mind and wisdom were indeed honed. He could feel the brilliance of his 'self', which was most easily revealed in the tempering of battle.

　　If he could continue to fight like this, breaking through from the Transformation Realm to the Wisdom Realm would be no problem.

　　Outside Song Pavilion, Ye Chuxiao was facing his greatest opponent today, the contemporary senior brother of the Nanhua Sword Sect, Gu Yuhun.

　　This person is known as the 'Sky Splitting Swordsman', proficient in martial arts swordsmanship and the sword cultivator's art of controlling swords. He also cultivated a powerful Sky Splitting Sword Qi, and is a well-known master.

　　He is different from the slightly famous opponents Ye Chuxiao had encountered before.

　　This person's realm also exceeds Ye Chuxiao's by half a level, reaching the peak of the Transformation Realm. He wants to win Ye Chuxiao's Ice Lotus, enter the Aurora Realm, observe the afterglow of the remnant souls of all beings, and enhance his foundation.

　　"Sky Splitting Sword! Three feet seven inches long, fierce and swift, it has already reached the level of a top-grade spiritual treasure. Brother Xiao must be careful!" Gu Yuhun raised his sword, and sword energy overflowed, gathering momentum.

　　Ye Chuxiao stood there like an abyss, and said, "I use a saber, a Yuan Yang Treasure Saber! Come on!"

　　Seeing that Ye Chuxiao had already gained amazing momentum even though he had not drawn his saber, Gu Yuhun didn't say anything more and took the lead.

　　At this time, Gu Yuhun raised his sword, attracting wisps of heavenly light to descend upon him.

　　Under the illumination of the heavenly light, his person actually merged with the light.

　　In an instant, the sword attacked Ye Chuxiao, as if a gap had been torn open in the world, a big wound.

　　The entire pine forest was pressed down by the sharp sword energy, the air became heavy, and the mist that originally permeated the forest began to sink, turning into water droplets to wash the pine forest and meadow.

　　"Well done!"

　　Ye Chuxiao praised, and then waved his hand and drew his saber.

　　When he used this saber, the frost froze all the mist and water.

　　Where the saber wind passed, it seemed to bring people to the fierce and cold northern country.

　　Mountains danced with silver snakes, and the plains galloped with waxy elephants. This saber seemed to be full of mountain wind and snow, but it was more than that.

　　Ye Chuxiao never took opponents he valued lightly.

　　This saber combined the Snow and Mountain styles of the Nine Styles of the Blade Master. It seemed simple, but it was actually extremely complex.

　　Gu Yuhun only felt a chill coming, which had frozen his whole body, and was about to freeze him in this vast and endless saber momentum.

　　Without thinking too much, he directly activated his power, and a Golden Crow appeared behind him, with raging golden flames enveloping his whole body, dispelling the chill.

　　Then, Gu Yuhun gave Ye Chuxiao a sword without thinking. The sword energy and killing intent on the sword were very heavy, like dark clouds covering the sky.

　　When this sword was stabbed out, it suddenly cleared away the dark clouds and revealed the sunlight. This light merged and separated from the real sunlight. Although they were mixed together, you could distinguish what was sword light and what was sunlight.

　　The tip of the sword vibrated strangely.

　　When the vibration started, half of the sky began to ripple in circles, and although the sword's edge was vibrating, everything around it that was originally moving suddenly became still.

　　In this instant, it seemed that everything around had fallen into some kind of still picture.

　　In the end, the picture was cut open by Ye Chuxiao's saber.

　　The saber in Ye Chuxiao's hand was like cutting drawing paper, stiff, cold and without much beauty, slashing across this picture.

　　(In truth, I have been using the changing source app to read books and update recently. It switches between sources, has many reading tones, and is available for both Android and Apple.)

　　The strong aura of existence was abrupt and overbearing.

　　Then it quickly spread and expanded.

　　The icy coldness in Ye Chuxiao's saber was greatly reduced, but the soaring spirit could not be hidden.

　　He wanted to compete with the heavens!

　　This saber was no longer cold, but arrogant.

　　Standing on the top of the cold mountain, overlooking all living beings, the arrogance of everything in the world.

　　Buzz!

　　The saber and sword collided head-on for the first time.

　　At this time, Ye Chuxiao's thick accumulation finally revealed its fierce claws.

　　In one collision, Ye Chuxiao stood motionless in place, while Gu Yuhun retreated more than ten meters, his expression changing several times.

　　"I lost by half a move!" Gu Yuhun said.

　　He could continue to fight, but his spirit had been lost, and fighting again would only become more and more embarrassing.

　　It would be better to put an end to it at this time, and save some reputation.

　　The cultivators in the Barren Battle Realm are indeed belligerent, but they are not without brains.

　　"You are too kind!" Ye Chuxiao didn't chase after him, and said with a cupped fist.

　　Gu Yuhun retreated and left, while Ye Chuxiao still stood in place, digesting what he had gained from the previous battle.

　　"I have refined another move, which can be regarded as truly jumping out of the original shackles. Although it is not necessarily stronger than the Nine Styles of the Blade Master, it is more suitable for me." Ye Chuxiao knew very well that as long as he completely refined a set of his own saber techniques, then he could break into the Wisdom Realm.

　　Of course, the Wisdom Realm, like the Transformation Realm, is a realm of accumulation and growth. It does not mean that once the realm is reached, one will stop moving forward and no longer accumulate and improve.

　　After defeating Gu Yuhun, Ye Chuxiao temporarily looked down on those ordinary opponents.

　　So he ordered people to hang up the No Challenge sign.

　　He entered the room by himself, adjusted his mind, and continued to summarize and summarize what he had gained.

　　After he had completely calmed down, he took out a wisp of Dao rhythm and absorbed it into his body.

　　This is the fourth wisp of Dao rhythm that Ye Chuxiao has truly integrated.

　　When the Dao rhythm entered his body, his aptitude was improved again, and a new talent surged into his mind.

　　"Insight!"

　　"As expected, it is such a talent!"

　　"Talent does not come out of thin air, but is born from accumulation. I watched a large number of remnant soul afterglows in the Aurora Realm. This is accumulation, and now that I have gained the Insight talent, it will help me to see some easily overlooked details in battle and life more easily."

　　"This talent is not very strong when viewed alone, but if it is combined with its own combat capabilities, it can be called a 'divine skill'."

　　"Mainly, it also helps my current cultivation method." Ye Chuxiao was happy in his heart, and unconsciously his face lit up with joy.

　　"I heard that you defeated the Sky Splitting Swordsman Gu Yuhun, congratulations to you... you are now going to become famous all over the world." Wen Tingting stood in front of the window and said to Ye Chuxiao.

　　Ye Chuxiao opened his eyes and stood up and said, "This is thanks to the help of your Wen family."

　　"You don't blame us for selling your information for profit, that's good!" Wen Tingting said.

　　Ye Chuxiao said, "What others can master is always just my information from yesterday, and I am different every day, and I will become stronger." kuAiδugg

　　It is normal for the Wen family to provide Ye Chuxiao with a place to live, set up a ring, and help him make a name for himself, taking this opportunity to profit. Ye Chuxiao had a clear idea in his mind from the time he entered Wenjia Mountain City.

　　"Then you are really amazing!" Wen Tingting seemed to be praising him, but she wasn't completely praising him, and seemed a little unhappy.

　　Ye Chuxiao didn't pay attention to her girlish feelings, and unromantically said, "I asked you to help me find out where there are heinous villains出没, have you found out?"

　　Wen Tingting said, "Yes! I heard that Purple Butterfly Nangong Zi has already come to Wenjia Mountain City. It would be great if you could catch him."

　　"Purple Butterfly Nangong Zi?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

　　Wen Tingting said, "This is a flower thief. It is said that he cultivates the evil art of harvesting yin to replenish yang, and is also proficient in gender transformation妖術. He doesn't discriminate between men and women. Because he can change his gender at any time and is proficient in the art of disguise, although he has many victims, no one has ever been able to catch him."

　　"Are there any clues to catch him?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

　　His cultivation has already reached the Transformation Realm and is steadily moving towards the Wisdom Realm. At this time, Ye Chuxiao naturally has to put the plan of the Tower Ascending Secret Art on the agenda.

　　Killing people to seize their cultivation progress is certainly very evil, but if it is to practice with those heinous people, then Ye Chuxiao has no psychological burden at all.

　　"If there were any, the cultivators of the Wen family would have caught him, skinned him, and torn him apart!" Wen Tingting said.

　　Ye Chuxiao nodded, which is indeed the case.

　　"Then help me pay attention, and notify me if you have any news."

　　"Also, please help me pay attention to other cultivators who do many evil deeds and are not weak." Ye Chuxiao said.

　　Wen Tingting said, "You want to be a hero, but you make me run errands... I have never seen such a lazy hero like you."

　　Ye Chuxiao heard this and stood up and smiled: "Those who are able should do more work!"

　　"Who makes Wen heroine also have a heroic heart?"

　　Wen Tingting wrinkled her nose: "Stop praising me! The Wen family has a banquet tonight, would you like to come?"

　　Ye Chuxiao heard this, calmed down, and said: "Specially held for me?"

　　Wen Tingting ridiculed: "Stop being self-righteous! If you want the Wen family to hold a banquet for you specially, you must first enter the Intent Realm."

　　"After tonight, Mr. Nanshan is going to set off to the northwest, and the banquet is to see him off."

　　"You have become famous recently, so my uncle also told me that I can invite you over."

　　"I'm not going!" Ye Chuxiao said bluntly.

　　Although he can't be said to be in a hurry now, he really doesn't need to waste his time on meaningless social interactions.

　　"Really not going?"

　　"I heard that Mr. Nanshan will exhibit 'Nanshan Zhai Notes' at the banquet. Those are his cultivation thoughts and experiences from the past twenty years, which are very helpful for proving cultivation and honing one's own wisdom and aura." Wen Tingting said.

　　Ye Chuxiao changed his tone: "What clothes should I wear?"

　　"Is it more formal or casual?"

　　Wen Tingting looked Ye Chuxiao up and down, her cheeks slightly red: "You... you can wear whatever you want!"

　　"There are not so many rules."

　　After speaking, she added: "Anyway, you are not the protagonist, it doesn't matter."

　　Ye Chuxiao said, "Then I have to dress up well. Although I am not the protagonist, wherever I go, I am destined to attract countless attention."

　　Wen Tingting rolled her eyes, turned around and wanted to leave.

　　"Wait! This is for you!" After saying that, Ye Chuxiao handed a painting to Wen Tingting.

　　"What is this?" Wen Tingting asked.

　　Ye Chuxiao said, "I painted Bei Qiuye."

　　"Sometimes, why not add a little of your own imagination and understanding?"

　　"It is people who are painted, and it is our own emotions that are expressed."

　　Wen Tingting unfolded the painting. The woman in the painting was heroic, her sword spirit soared, and she showed no signs of depression or resentment, but instead showed the demeanor of a hero.

　　Wen Tingting rolled up the scroll, turned around and scolded: "Drawing nonsense,篡改 the ancients!"

　　"You are not a good person!"

　　After saying that, she quickly left with the painting in her arms.
