Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Another 1-Month Extension

Instead of using the Juntian Sword, he took a Celestial Grade Lower Class Long Sword from his ring. With the Long Sword in hand, Chu Fan shot straight into the sky.

It had only been two days since his Cultivation entered the Nascent Soul Realm, and this was his first battle. He wasn’t entirely sure what his own Combat Power was truly like.

He used the first sword of the Python Shadow Four Swords.

As he soared skyward, his wrist flicked and the Long Sword stirred, a giant, red shadow python coiling in the sky like a soaring dragon.

The lead eagle was startled by the python shadow’s sudden appearance. With a flap of its wings, it shot swiftly upward.

The other four eagles rapidly flapped their wings toward Chu Fan, whipping up gusts of fierce wind. Mixed within the gales were countless feathers, as sharp as arrows.

Below, five giant apes were also launching attacks at Chu Fan.

With each punch they threw, despite being far from Chu Fan, a powerful mass of air smashed toward him.

Although such masses of air couldn’t cause much harm to the current Chu Fan, he was, after all, treading on empty air and relying on its buoyancy.

Those masses of air caused Chu Fan’s body to sway constantly in the air.

A Sword Technique was, in essence, a combination of the Thirteen Basic Sword Forms and a Body Technique. If one’s lower body was unstable, their Sword Techniques would naturally weaken.

In a flash of inspiration, Chu Fan immediately devised a countermeasure.

Before the momentum of his current sword move faded, he switched Sword Techniques, executing a move from the Dream-Breaking Meteor Sword. The Sword Aura blazed like the sun, plunging downward like a crashing meteor.

The Sword Form was designed to strike from above. As the Sword Aura crashed down, an immense pressure, like Mount Tai itself collapsing, bore down from above.

The apes at the front found their feet rooted to the spot, as if stuck in deep mud. The immense pressure distorted their faces as they looked up.

"BOOM!"

As the sword struck, a shockwave rippled outward, centered on the point where Chu Fan’s Long Sword touched the earth.

The five apes were all sent flying by the shockwave.

This was only because Chu Fan had no real intention of killing any of them. Otherwise, if he had aimed that last strike at a specific ape, it would undoubtedly be dead.

The apes climbed to their feet a short distance away, looking at Chu Fan with trepidation. They even performed a human-like clasped-fist salute before standing still, clearly having no intention of fighting further.

At that moment, the five eagles’ combined attack arrived.

Their ceaseless flapping generated a hurricane. Before it even reached Chu Fan, the gale had stripped the trees above him of all their leaves and snapped the thinner branches.

The leaves and branches, swept up by the hurricane, formed a colossal, sky-blotting club. It hurtled down toward Chu Fan’s head, imbued with world-shattering power.

Chu Fan tried to move quickly but found that even his Body Technique was restricted beneath the hurricane.

A quick mental calculation told him he was not fast enough to evade the might of that "club."

He swiftly formed a hand seal with his left hand and muttered an incantation.

"Spiritual Power of all creation, heed my call—First Seal, converge!"

With no time to gather more power, the moment he finished the incantation, the syllable "Zhe!" escaped his lips.

A Lion Shadow shot out from his body and let out a great roar at the five eagles in the sky.

At that very moment, the giant club of hurricane-tossed branches and leaves smashed squarely on top of the Lion Shadow’s head.

"BOOM!"

The sound was deafening, and the very earth trembled without pause.

The Lion Shadow was shattered by the blow. The leaves and branches, released from the hurricane’s grip, scattered in all directions like throwing darts, their speed reaching an incredible extreme.

"SCREE—SCREE—SCREE—"

The five eagles let out wretched cries and fled. Beneath their frantically flapping wings, a rain of blood fell to the ground.

Staring at the devastation before him and the blazing sun now visible where the canopy used to be, Chu Fan was utterly aghast.

The power of the five eagles’ combined attack was terrifying.

The External-Attached Lion Seal was an incredibly powerful Divine Technique, yet its phantom form had been shattered by their combined blow. ℴℴ𝘮

’And they had all been injured before they fled.’

’But this is the first time the External-Attached Lion Seal has ever been dispersed.’

’Without the External-Attached Lion Seal, I can’t imagine what would have happened if that "club" had landed on my head.’

Just then, the five apes walked over.

"Thank you for showing mercy. Three months is beyond our authority. However, for one month, you may take whatever you wish within a five-hundred-li radius. This is the greatest gift the few of us can offer. I urge you to leave Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain before the month is up. The next one to make a move will be an incredibly difficult madman."

With that, the apes retreated.

Watching their retreating figures, Chu Fan suddenly found these Profound Beasts to be rather endearing.

However, Chu Fan had to take the apes’ warning seriously.

’A difficult madman?’

’What kind of being would that be?’

Just then, Yun Xi came down from the treehouse. Still shaken with lingering fear, she hugged Chu Fan from behind, pressing her cheek against his back.

"Fortunately, I succeeded. We have another month here," Chu Fan said with a smile, tilting his head to the side.

"Mm," Yun Xi murmured. Her face was flushed, but it was a shy expression that Chu Fan, facing away, couldn’t see.

"Let’s make the most of this month. I’ll teach you a new Sword Technique. You should also take this time to cultivate and not waste this environment so rich in Spiritual Qi."

"Okay!"

"Also, I have some nice fabrics here. When you have a moment, you can sew yourself a few outfits and change out of that one!"

The red wedding dress she wore was already in tatters. Yun Xi had been wearing it for a month, troubled by the lack of any other fabric in the mountains.

"Does it not look good on me?" Yun Xi asked, looking up at him.

"Of course not. You look beautiful in anything. The most gorgeous clothes in the world would only be an accessory on you."

"Hmph. You and your silver tongue."

Yun Xi happily took the bolts of fabric Chu Fan gave her and returned to the treehouse.

Chu Fan, meanwhile, took out the two pieces of Ming Jue Jade from within the Jun Tianjian World.

Following the method from the Xiezhi Sect, he held one in his palm and tried to sense it with his consciousness.

Suddenly, his mind went blank. A flood of memories that weren’t his own poured into his consciousness.

’This is...?’

’The Illusory Body Technique?’

After reviewing the contents in his mind, Chu Fan was so overcome with joyful surprise that he nearly leaped to his feet.

’To think such an unbelievable Martial Technique actually exists in this world!’

This was a transformation-type Martial Technique. It had a total of five layers, but the Cultivation requirements for each were extremely high.

In the Mortal Realm, one could only practice the first two layers. The first was called Homologous Transformation, and the Second Layer was Body Technique Transformation.

The last three layers could only be used after transcending the mortal world and becoming an Immortal God. At its highest level, one could transform into anything.

Homologous Transformation was easy enough to understand. Once mastered, he could transform into any other person, perfectly mimicking even their voice.

However, this layer had one major flaw: while it was fine to transform into someone with a lower Cultivation, if he tried to become someone of a higher Realm, he would be unable to imitate the specific aura that came with their Martial Dao Realm.

But upon reaching the Second Layer Realm, this problem was easily solved. As long as one was familiar with the target and had seen them in action, not only could they mask their Realm to be undetectable, but they could also imitate the target’s True Qi, making them nearly impossible to identify.

As for the final three layers, Chu Fan was not one to be overly ambitious; he wouldn’t even dream of them for now.

For the moment, he didn’t attempt to interpret the Ming Jue Jade that contained information on Arrays. Instead, he immediately began practicing the Illusory Body Technique.
