Chapter 225: The Foundation of Xian Ding Sect, The One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones_2
```
Yang Ji was nibbling on a chicken leg when he deliberately glanced at Xuan Zhong and asked in a soft voice, "Big brother, your cultivation level?"
The Xuan Zhong before him wasn't just some Fusion cultivator, or Mahayana cultivator, but a powerful Nine Tribulations Immortal!
It should be noted that Xuan Zhong, having cultivated for less than 10,000 years, had actually achieved the status of Nine Tribulations Immortal, just one step away from True Immortal. It was truly unfathomable.
From the moment he walked in, Yang Ji had been somewhat perplexed.
"Ha, you're asking about my cultivation level? Well, it's all an accident!"
"Thousands of years ago, I was traveling in the True Dragon World when I offended a Rainbow Immortal Dragon, which I slapped to death and roasted for a meal. However, after eating the young one, the elder came out, a powerful Red Dust Immortal, chasing and attempting to kill me all over the world."
"That stubborn old codger chased me across eighty-eight great worlds, leaving me no place to escape under the heavens or hide on the ground, truly trying to drive me to my death!"
"I ran and ran, for a thousand years until I reached the depths of outer space, and inadvertently entered a rift in time and space."
"Inside, the flow of time was many times faster than the outside world. I spent over ten thousand years in there, and after I broke through to become a Nine Tribulations Immortal, I came out and tore that old codger apart on the spot, which really angered me to death!"
Xuan Zhong looked utterly frustrated as he spoke.
"Uh..." Yang Ji was stunned, his mind reeling, with only two words to describe it, "ferociously wild"! Absolutely ferociously wild!
The Rainbow Immortal Dragon, a core branch of the Dragon Race that is rare in number, is so revered that it's somewhat more esteemed than the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
To dare eat such a creature, and on its own territory to boot, flattening it to death and roasting it.
No wonder this provoked the pursuit of an old dragon!
But to be chased for a thousand years by a Red Dust Immortal, through eighty-eight worlds, and still not to be killed, it must be said that Xuan Zhong was truly heaven-defying.
After his breakthrough to Nine Tribulations Immortal, he even tore the chaser apart? That's just too monstrous.
However, Yang Ji could see the words "frustration", "irritation", and "unease" floating above Xuan Zhong's head, so he still wasn't quite convinced by Xuan Zhong's claim of being able to tear apart a Red Dust Immortal with the strength of a Nine Tribulations Immortal, especially since the individual in question was a naturally gifted Rainbow Immortal Dragon.
Thereupon he asked, "Big brother, did you really tear apart a Red Dust Immortal?" Stay updated with empire
"Pah! To be honest with you, little brother, I didn't succeed. That old codger indeed had some tricks up his sleeve. He crafted eight Mahayana artifacts that were extremely formidable. Only with an Immortal Artifact in hand could I barely avoid falling short.
However, once I break through to the True Immortal Realm, that old dragon will definitely not be a match for me," Xuan Zhong said, still frustrated.
It was clear that he had suffered quite a bit in the past.
However, to Yang Ji and the others, this was shockingly impressive.
A Red Dust Immortal wielding eight Mahayana artifacts, consumed by fury in a fight for life and death, yet unable to subdue Xuan Zhong—who in the end had no choice but to leave in anger.
Xuan Zhong was not a Red Dust Immortal, but he was as formidable as one. If he were to break through, what then? Simply too ferociously wild!
This fellow, deserving to be Xuan Ye, the Immortal King's successor, was monstrous!
"Under the pursuit of a Red Dust Immortal, big brother, untouched for a millennium, and with your powerful strength, you forced him to leave. That's just too impressive; your achievements are outstanding. Should this be known throughout the Myriad Realms, your name, I reckon, would hang in the sky as brightly as the sun, shining brilliantly across all worlds!
Little brother is truly in awe, in awe!" Yang Ji complimented.
"Haha, if little brother puts it that way, doesn't that mean I came out on top?" Xuan Zhong's demeanor immediately lightened up.
"On top, absolutely on top! You should know, big brother, that your realm was a whole level lower than that old dragon, and yet you fought head-on and did not lose. In a way, that's already a victory," Yang Ji said honestly.
"Ha, not bad, not bad, with little brother saying that, it does make me feel a bit better. It was the first time I was so suppressed, I felt like I couldn't save face, and I was terribly frustrated inside. Your words have opened up my heart," Xuan Zhong said with a wide smile.
Yang Ji and the others inwardly gave bitter smiles, speechless at the fact of being suppressed by a Red Dust Immortal. What face was there to lose?
"By the way, little brother, what brought you to the Realm of Extreme Void?" Xuan Zhong asked with curiosity.
"Pah! Big brother, it seems we are connected by a shared fate!" Yang Ji then shared his own experiences.
"What? Chased by a top Mahayana cultivator of the Yaksha Clan? Absolutely seeking death!" Xuan Zhong frowned, his expression one of righteous indignation, then suddenly leaned in close with a sly smile, "Little brother, on that Culinary God's Manual, I saw a recipe for a hundred ways to cook the members of the Yaksha Clan, none of which I've tried yet. Let's strike a deal, how about it?"
"I'll help you take revenge and tear that old Yaksha apart, and I'll also take Ling Er along, fry her up, and make a few dishes for me, what do you say?"
Yang Ji gave him a look, instantly realizing what he was up to.
Seeing Yang Ji's expression, Xuan Zhong quickly laughed, "Little brother, what do you say?"
"Fine," Yang Ji pondered for a moment and then nodded, "My current level of cultivation is indeed a bit low, I can't get the top ingredients from the Culinary God's Manual for Ling Er, nor can I bear those great karmic consequences. Big brother, just take Ling Er along, perhaps this is also her chance to become the Culinary God!"
"Haha, little brother, that's decisive of you!" Xuan Zhong laughed joyfully, "Rest assured, little brother, I'll sort out that old Yaksha for you. I'll be around the Realm of Extreme Void shortly, so if you run into any trouble, just summon me with the Jade Talisman, and even if a Red Dust Immortal pops up to bother you, I'll cut him down too."
