as at the same level as him, a perfect Sea of Transformation powerhouse, diedAt this time, the beggar boy's gaze once again drifted towards Su Xin.Su Xin's face was grave, and his heart was on high al...Still in that dimly lit room.

The eccentric, somewhat roguish middle-aged Prince Qi with the distinctive walrus moustache was no longer immersed in his calligraphy studies. Instead, he found himself absorbed in a game of chess on a board.

He plays with a plan in every move, carefully strategizing on both sides of the board.

"Failed, unexpectedly"

"The Nine Killers are too useless."

King Qi continued to play chess, not even raising his head. He only muttered a complaint.

“My Lord, according to the ‘Nine Assassins’, the target had already made preparations. This time, the ‘Nine Assassins’ sent a total of four squads, twelve Void Breaking Peak experts, and even Di Sha personally led the charge. However, in the end, all twelve Void Breaking Peak experts died, and Di Sha didn't even dare to make a move,” the gray-robed elder respectfully said.

“Oh” Qi Wang raised his head and smiled, “Di Sha’s strength is considered quite good among the Nirvana Realm. The fact that he wouldn’t dare to make a move… it seems a very important person has appeared. Even if it wasn’t the strongest Dragon Walking Palace Master of Tian Yan Palace, it should be one of the eight Dao Masters.”

"Fine, if he can't be killed, then let him live. A mere Void Realm brat poses no threat to this King. Even if he grows strong in the future, it wouldn't be me who should worry, but that one..."

"Yes"

The grey-robed elder nodded respectfully, then immediately continued, “My Lord, this period of time, the young master's actions have become increasingly out of line.”

"Yuanji"

King Qi paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and said: "Let him be, he can't cause too much trouble anyway. Besides, for my sake, this kid has sacrificed quite a lot."

"Yes"

The gray-cloaked elder nodded again, then bowed respectfully before leaving.

"Haha~~As expected, this king is still best at playing chess

"

King Qi was staring intently at his chess pieces, a smile of excitement and astonishment on his face.

……

Su Xin returned to the Heavenly Flame Palace and immediately went before the Empress of Emperor Moon Palace. He told her about his encounter with assassins on the way, word for word.

I already know about it.

The Empress of Emperor Moon Palace looked at Su Xin before her, "The person who attacked you wore a blood-patterned black robe and a terrifying black mask. It's most likely someone from the 'Nine Evils.'"

"Nine Evil Spirits" Su Xin's heart skipped a beat. He had never heard of that name.

"The Nine Assassins, originally the number one assassin organization within the Ziye Imperial Dynasty, possessed a vast number of powerful warriors. There were a large contingent of Void Breakers alone, and even four leaders known as 'Heaven,' 'Earth,' 'Mysterious,' and 'Yellow.' These leaders were all peak Nirvana Realm powerhouses led by Empress Yue, the Palace Master of the Diyue Palace."

"Four Nirvana Realms" Su Xin was secretly shocked.

Nirvana Realm experts are absolutely the top and most detached beings within an empire.

Any family that has a Nirvana Realm expert is considered a top-tier family.

Like Tianye Sect, one of the three major sects of the Heavenly Inferno Dynasty, it seems that there are only four Nirvana Realm Supreme Elders in the present day.

These Nine Evils, even just the power of their light, is clearly no less than that of the Heavenly Leaf Sect.

“Unlike ordinary assassin organizations, the assassins of the Nine Evils are mostly cultivated from a young age and possess absolute loyalty to the organization. They can be said to be death soldiers. Therefore, within the Violet Night Imperial Dynasty, the Nine Evils have a fearsome reputation. Their actions are also extremely extreme, and there is almost no one they dare not assassinate,” Di Yuegong, the master of the Emperor Moon Palace, stated.

But, precisely because it was too extreme and reckless, it ultimately angered the emperor of the Ziye Dynasty. In one night, he nearly eradicated the entire Jiusha organization, destroying all its foundations. Most of the strong fighters within Jiusha were killed, leaving only the two leaders, "Tiansha" and "Disha," along with a portion of their assassins, who escaped.

But not long ago, these remnants of the Nine Calamity Assassins seemed to have fled into my Heavenly Flame Empire.

Su Xin listened, secretly marveling.

Those Nine Calamities, with four Nirvana Realm experts stationed there, can be considered a very powerful force.

However, in the face of the entire empire, it was clearly still not enough.

Over this period, the Red Dragon Pavilion has also been investigating the whereabouts of those assassins from Nine Constellations. Unfortunately, they have hidden too well and their traces haven't been found. And this time, Nine Constellations actually sent so many assassins to deal with you, even going so far as to deploy Di Yue Palace Master himself.

"The Earth Shaking Formation is moving A Nirvana Realm expert" Su Xin was shocked, "But why didn't I encounter him"

"Of course you haven't met the Lord of Diyue Palace smile,"That Earthly Disaster did want to make a move, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the Lord of Jiuxin Dao long ago."

"Nine Star Dao Master" Su Xin was startled, and immediately understood.

Before that, in the journey, it wasn't just the twelve Heavenly Transcendence Peak experts who assassinated him, but also a Nirvana Realm expert hiding in the dark.

It was just that the Nirvana Realm expert was stopped by the Nine Stars Dao Master, and the Nine Stars Dao Master was naturally invited by the Palace Master of Diyue Palace.

"Thank you, Master Su Xin," he expressed his gratitude.

The Empress of the Celestial Moon Palace just smiled faintly.

Su Xin is a disciple of the Heavenly Inferno Palace, and he is considered the strongest swordsmanship prodigy in the palace's nearly thousand-year history.

As the palace master of Tianyan Palace, she naturally wants to protect Su Xin well.

Like this time, knowing that Su Xin might encounter the interception and assassination of Qi Wangfu on her way home, she immediately took it seriously.

She was well aware of Prince Qi's methods, so while she sent Xuan Yi to help, she also went out of her way to find the Dao Master of Jiuxin.

“Su Xin, you are a disciple of my Tianyan Palace. Since Jiusha dares to attack you, my Tianyan Palace will definitely find a way to locate ‘it’ and completely eradicate this organization from the world. Emperor Yue, the palace master, looked at Su Xin, “However, my Tianyan Palace cannot prove that Jiusha has any connection with Qi Wangfu, so it is impossible to hold Qi Wangfu accountable. You need to understand this.”

The disciple understood and nodded.

He had never expected to find any leverage against the Qi Wangfu from those assassins, to bring them down.

"Go on, cultivate diligently. Strength is the ultimate path. As for the rest, you needn't worry about it. The Heavenly Flame Palace will protect your safety," said the Empress of the Diyue Palace.

It is.

Su Xin turned and left.

……

In front of a table, Su Xin and Xuan Yi sat together, they also called up their friend Duan Yunfeng.

On the table were placed fine wine, as well as various exotic fruits and delicacies.

"Xuan Yi, senior brother, thanks to your help this time, I raise my cup in respect." Su Xin raised his cup and smiled.

"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the Xuanxin Bar" Xuen looked at the wine in his cup and smiled. "This Xuanxin Wine can make people calm down and concentrate, and it even has the effect of nourishing the soul. In the Treasure Pavilion, it takes five hundred fire points to exchange for a pot. Su Xin, your junior brother, you've really spent a lot this time."

Su Xin smiled.

This Xuanxin wine is indeed valuable, but since Xuanyi helped him this time, he naturally wants to treat him well and not be too cold.

One drink down.

"Xuan Yi, you should just have returned from the Tianshui Secret Realm, right" Duan Yunfeng suddenly asked.

“I nodded to Xuan. “This time, I spent almost a year exploring the Heavenly Water Secret Realm. It was really tiring, so I just wanted to come back and rest for a while, but as soon as I got back, I was called away by the Palace Master of Diyue Palace.”

"Heaven's Water Secret Realm" Su Xin's heart moved.

After entering the Heavenly Inferno Palace, he often interacted with the disciples there, greatly increasing his knowledge and experience.

He had also heard of this day Shui secret realm.

It was a special secret realm accessible only to those with the qualification of the Void Realm. Its location was not within the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty's territory, but rather in the area where several dynasties met.

Within the Heavenly Water Secret Realm, there are many opportunities and treasures that are very useful for those who have reached the Profound Void Realm. Occasionally, some opportunities and treasures even appear within the realm, which would make even Nirvana Realm experts drool. Unfortunately, Nirvana Realm experts are unable to enter at all.

Such a secret realm attracts a multitude of cultivators from the Void Realm.

According to Su Xin's knowledge, it wasn't just the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty. There were dozens of imperial dynasties around the border of the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty. Every imperial dynasty had a large number of cultivators at the Po Xu Realm searching for opportunities within. This resulted in a huge number of cultivators at the Po Xu Realm inside the Tian Shui Secret Realm.

And among them are some incredibly powerful Void Breakers, and even many invincible powerhouses of the Void Breaker realm.

Like Xuan Yi, as a disciple of the Tianyan Palace, he also has the invincible battle strength of the Void Breaking Realm, so he often wanders in the Tianshui Secret Realm.

Among the disciples of Tianyan Palace this generation, many have already reached the late stage of breaking the void, and even the peak of breaking the void. Most of them are also exploring the Tian Shui Secret Realm.

There, it is a battlefield of countless shattered realms, yet also a paradise.

"Su Xin, your younger brother, to be honest, with your abilities, you're fully qualified to venture into the Heavenly Water Secret Realm. There's no need to continue wasting time here in Tiangyan Palace," Xu Yi said after taking a sip of his wine.

"Wasting time" Duan Yunfeng couldn't help but pause.

In his opinion, Tianyan Palace was excellent in every way, and his cultivation progress was incredibly fast within its walls.

To Xuan's surprise, it turned out to be a waste of time

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. As he has already reached the peak of the Broken Void realm and his understanding has reached the second level, the benefits of those opportunities in the Heavenly Flame Palace are diminishing for him at this stage. Instead, venturing out to hone his skills through trials and tribulations would lead to faster and greater improvements.

This is also the reason why disciples of Tiangyan Palace who have reached a certain level of strength often venture out to explore the world.

"Xuan Yi, I just broke through to the Void Realm not long ago. The cultivation opportunities within Tianyan Palace are still very useful to me," Su Xin said with a smile.

"He nodded slightly at Xuan, "In the early stages of entering Tianyan Palace, the cultivation over the past two years had the greatest impact on strength improvement. Afterwards, it will gradually slow down. Since you've been in Tianyan Palace for less than a year, there is still huge potential for improvement."

"Well then, if that's the case, when you go to explore the Tianshui Secret Realm in the future, you can come find me."

"Xiao Su smiled, and the three of them continued to clink glasses."

……

In the evening, Su Xinfan sat on his bed, his consciousness merging with the Jian Yu scroll hanging on the wall. He carefully pondered each drop of water depicted within the scroll.

Moments later, he opened his eyes, a hint of surprise on his face.

As expected, after breaking through to the Void Breaking Realm, my understanding of the essence of sword intent is much easier than before.

It's simply three times easier.

Su Xin chuckled.

He had only just broken through to the Void Realm not long ago, although he knew that comprehension of meaning would be easier after the breakthrough, he hadn't had time to truly comprehend it during this period.

Before he was at the Su family, most of his time was spent refining and mastering the Blood Cloud Killing Formation.

Only after drinking that Xuan Xin wine did he calm down and truly ponder it.

This realization, that boost in speed, truly took him aback.

He, being a genius from the start, and ever since awakening his supreme bloodline, his comprehension has reached a certain level of development. His natural talent is simply beyond comparison to ordinary people.

Like Xia Mang, as a once-in-decades genius of the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, if compared to Su Xin, it's not even on the same level.

Su Xin's comprehension of the Dao when he was in the Huahhai Realm was already far ahead of Xia Mang. Now that he had broken through to the Po Xu Realm, his comprehension speed had increased again and there was simply no comparison.

“Back when I was only at the Sea-Forming Realm, it took me a full eight months to comprehend the essence of sword intent in nine ways and reach the second level of sword intent. But with my current understanding, I'm afraid it would only take two or three months at most to fully grasp all nine essences of sword intent.”

"To reach the third level of sword intent comprehension, one needs to thoroughly understand the essence of sixty-four types of sword intent. Moreover, the deeper you go, the more difficult it becomes to comprehend. However... with my current rate of understanding, coupled with the assistance of the Sword Rain Scroll, I should be able to grasp the essence of sixty-four types of sword intent in a relatively short amount of time."

Su Xin smiled lightly, closed her eyes, and continued to contemplate.

……her's skills. They were able to escape from the frenzied attack of so many powerful people. If it were me, I would have handed over that Daoist old man long ago. Remember the URL"Indeed, Gong Chao an...
