Desolate Devouring Art

Chapter 428 - Guidance

Fan Zhen rushed forward without any consideration for his safety. He didn't know Liu Wuxie could kill someone in the ninth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm. But before he could even get close, the sword aura sent him flying away, and he suffered multiple wounds.

"You all deserve to die!" Ma Shiyan did this on purpose, wanting to find an opportunity to kill the people around Liu Wuxie.

But it was fortunate Liu Wuxie had resolved his attack in time, allowing Fan Zhen to survive. When he raised the Primordial Astral Fist, the ground began to tremble.

"Such intense power!" A mist covered the sky with a dreadful star rising in it.

This scene shocked countless people. The last time Liu Wuxie had performed the Primordial Astral Fist was during the outer sect's competition; these inner disciples hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Murderous intent rose in Liu Wuxie's heart. Initially, he had planned to teach them a lesson like Zhu Sheng, without any intention of taking their lives. But Fan Zhen's injury had triggered him, violating his bottom line.

“Primordial Astral Fist!” A vast universe crashed down. Ma Shiyan and his companion's breathing became rapid under pressure, and it felt like a huge rock weighed down on their chests.

The power of Liu Wuxie's punch was too terrifying and was beyond the scope of human power. It had already surpassed the Heavenly Dipper Realm, forcing Ma Shiyan and his companion to retreat with thoughts of escaping.

Rumbling sounds came from the surrounding space, and cracks increased on the ground, with many disciples coming out of their cultivation chambers. The fight was too loud, and they could feel it even in the cultivation chambers.

"Run!" Ma Shiyan immediately thought of escaping, retracting his sword aura, and fled to the distance, not daring to stay for another moment.

They were in the ninth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm and disciples of the Law-Enforcement Hall. If this news spread, they would be reduced to laughingstocks.

What happened today wasn't Liu Wuxie's fault, and someone had recorded their actions. Even if this matter was blown up, Liu Wuxie could argue the case with his stance.

"You want to leave? Too late! You two can die now!" Murderous intent rose in Liu Wuxie's heart because more clowns would jump out at him if he didn't kill these two and make an example out of them.

He could intimidate everyone by killing disciples of the Law-Enforcement Hall.

Ma Shiyan and his companion froze when the Primordial Astral Fist descended. They were blown apart, with their blood raining down on the grass.

Fan Zhen's eyes almost popped out. He knew Liu Wuxie was strong but didn't expect the latter to be this powerful. He couldn't help smiling bitterly, recalling what had happened in the Imperial Academy.

"He hasn't changed one bit!" Liu Wuxie had also caused a lot of trouble in the Imperial Academy when facing the vice-headmaster and the Xue Clan. He had personally destroyed them.

Even after coming to the cultivation world, Liu Wuxie didn't hold back and maintained a strong stance against all injustices.

After killing Ma Shiyan and his companion, Liu Wuxie's face remained unchanged, and he picked up their interspatial rings. A devilish smile rose on his lips when he scanned them with his divine sense.

These two had extorted and robbed others. They were highly wealthy and possessed millions of spirit stones. As they were stuck in the ninth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, the resources they had extorted and robbed were meant for reaching the Heavenly Phase Realm. But they all belonged to Liu Wuxie now.

Besides spirit stones, various spiritual herbs and weapons were perfect for Fan Zhen and others. Liu Wuxie was still worried about how to arm the five of them, but Ma Shiyan and his companion had delivered the resources right to his door. The upcoming training would also be much easier with these resources.

Zhu Sheng was still seated on the ground, witnessing the death of his two companions, and shivered. He quickly scrambled on all fours in fear.

It was better to live than die. Even if he was crippled with broken bones, he could still survive as long as he had one breath left.

"Die!" Liu Wuxie decided to finish it thoroughly. With a flick of his finger, he unleashed a cold ray that froze Zhu Sheng in place, still in his crawling posture.

He didn't hold back this time and unleashed all his ice-attribute energy to take Zhu Sheng's life. He retrieved his interspatial ring and inspected the items inside. While Zhu Sheng wasn't as wealthy as his companions, he was still far wealthier than average disciples.

He took all three of their medals and extracted the points. With his powerful soul energy, this was easy for him.

Low-level disciples couldn't seize points from high-level disciples' tokens. Usually, points could only be taken over when offered willingly, and seizing them from the medals was impossible. However, it wasn't an issue for Liu Wuxie.

"H-He took their points!" The spectators were dumbfounded, and some even covered their mouths.

"He's too bold!" Some gave Liu Wuxie a thumbs up for his courage.

"Impossible! How could he retrieve the points from those medals with his cultivation in the fourth-level Heavenly Dipper Realm? No one can extract points forcibly from a medal unless the owner hands them over willingly. Did he reach the Heavenly Phase Realm?" Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

This was why many people wanted to force Liu Wuxie to hand his points over and not seize his medal directly. Even if Liu Wuxie lost his medal, it didn't matter because the points inside wouldn't disappear.

"He has violated the sect's rules! Bringing outer disciples to train in the inner sect was unprecedented but not a major issue. However, seizing points from others is a clear violation of the rules!" Everyone slowly backed away, not wanting to be associated with Liu Wuxie because he was too reckless.

Liu Wuxie was the first to defy the sect's rules openly.

Ignoring everyone in the surroundings, Liu Wuxie extracted seventy thousand points from the three medals. He planned to give fifty thousand points to the five and keep the remaining twenty thousand for himself.

"Liu Wuxie, what happened?" Fan Zhen asked Liu Wuxie worriedly.

"It's fine. Let's talk inside!" Liu Wuxie entered the cultivation chamber with Fan Zhen to check his cultivation.

Two hours had passed outside, while several days had passed inside the cultivation chamber. Fan Zhen's strength had also undergone a drastic transformation.

With his increasing cultivation, he would face new challenges, requiring Liu Wuxie's guidance. He spent two hours guiding Fan Zhen, enlightening the latter with his cultivation rising.

Liu Wuxie wasn't in a hurry to teach them martial techniques. He planned to teach them powerful techniques after they increased their cultivation.

Moreover, the five couldn't be taught the same martial techniques. This meant he had to teach them based on their abilities.

After Liu Wuxie left the cultivation chamber, Fan Zhen continued his seclusion. Chen Ruoyan's cultivation chamber opened this time, and Liu Wuxie went in to guide her. Just like he did with Fan Zhen, he corrected her mistakes to prevent her from taking unnecessary detours.

"Sorry!" Chen Ruoyan said, biting her lips when Liu Wuxie was about to leave.

"Why are you apologizing when you haven't done anything wrong?" Liu Wuxie turned to look at Chen Ruoyan. She had stood up for him by using her identity to protect him from Qin Shi in the mundane world, and he remembered that favor.

"Am I causing trouble by coming to the cultivation world?" Chen Ruoyan's voice was soft and almost inaudible.

"Work hard on your cultivation if you don't want to cause me trouble. Only strength can determine everything," Liu Wuxie said, leaving the cultivation chamber.

Chen Ruoyan's arrival had caught him off guard, further complicating his relationship with Jian Xing'er. They might seem to have a brother-sister relationship, but anyone could tell Jian Xing'er had feelings for Liu Wuxie and had reached a point of no return.

Chen Ruoyan’s arrival had further complicated things for Liu Wuxie. However, since some things couldn't be resolved forcefully, he let them develop naturally. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion boasted many talented individuals, and Chen Ruoyan might soon fall for someone else.

Liu Wuxie continued to guide their cultivation. Lan Yu was respectful when he saw Liu Wuxie, maintaining an almost kneeling position to receive guidance.

As for Bi Gongyu, Liu Wuxie further guided him in alchemy aside from cultivation. He planned to arrange for Bi Gongyu to go into the Treasure Pill Peak after reaching the Heavenly Dipper Realm to come into contact with alchemy.

Since he required a lot of pills in the future, it was convenient to have someone in the Treasure Pill Peak.

Liu Wuxie went into Song Ling's cultivation chamber the last. When he was with the latter, he didn't keep up with the stern face and appeared more relaxed.

"Big brother, I'm really stupid. After so many days, I'm only at the pinnacle Marrow Cleansing Realm, and I'm still far from the Heavenly Dipper Realm." Song Ling looked distressed, afraid of dragging everyone down because of him.

"Your progress has far exceeded my expectations. Your foundation is solid, and your future achievements won't be low if you keep this up." Liu Wuxie patted Song Ling's shoulder and signaled him to sit down.

Fan Zhen treated him respectfully, Chen Ruoyan was uneasy around him, while Lan Yu and Bi Gongyu were both his disciples. Only Song Ling treated him as an elder brother and was casual with him. This was the kind of friend he required because it would be too boring if everyone were respectful toward him.

Pointing out Song Ling's mistake, he continued to transmit knowledge on spiritual arrays. He took this opportunity to help Song Ling consolidate his path in spiritual runes because it would be helpful in the future.

He planned to send Song Ling to the Array Tower for training after their training because it would benefit his skills in spiritual arrays.

As Liu Wuxie exited the cultivation chamber, no one came to cause trouble this time around. Ma Shiyan's group of three was dead, and there was no movement from the Law-Enforcement Hall with everyone waiting.

He was waiting for the higher-ups to decide his punishment. Even after a month, the Celestial Spirit Cave's reward had yet to arrive, and the rewards should've been issued long ago.

Liu Wuxie wasn't in a hurry because he was stuck in the fourth-level Heavenly Dipper Realm and needed time to consolidate his cultivation. Entering the Celestial Spirit Cave now would benefit his cultivation, but he still needed more accumulation to make multiple breakthroughs in the Celestial Spirit Cave.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye; Lan Yu and Bi Gongyu reached the True Core Realm.

Chen Ruoyan had lost a year of cultivation, and she found it hard to catch up.

On the contrary, Fan Zhen's strength had improved rapidly with his extensive knowledge and experience. Even his comprehension was far stronger than the other four.

Chen Ruoyan was currently the weakest among the five, but she would soon catch up because she had the highest talent.

On the third day, Liu Wuxie's punishment came. But he maintained his composure when the Law-Enforcement Hall's disciples came.

"Finally here?" Liu Wuxie stood up with a smile, looking at the elite disciple before him.
