Chapter 218 My Life

Just as the sky was dawn, Xu Han woke up from the inn in the small town.

The word'awake 'was somewhat inappropriate for him to use here.

To be exact, he had awakened from his meditation.

Nine days had passed since the battle in Big Yellow City.

Zhou Zhang, or Mu Qingshan, should have led the fifty thousand Mu Clan Army back to Tianshan Pass with Mu Liang. Lin Yuguo brought the sixty thousand remnants of Big Yellow City and stationed them in Big Yellow City, slowly repairing the number one pass under the heavens.

The situation in Jizhou was stable, and after Xu Han and the others had arranged everything, they set foot on the road back to Chang'an.

Xu Han, who had been a beggar for twelve years, was a person who was very good at thinking of danger in times of peace. He would not relax because of these promises of victory. Instead, he would work harder and harder.

Xu Han had witnessed how powerful the Mu Clan's army was.

Xu Han had also experienced the magical aura of righteousness of the red-robed officials.

In addition, that divine dragon, Yuan Guilong, who had never seen the end, had defeated an immortal with a single saber from a thousand miles away, and had slashed down an iron cavalry with a single saber.

Even a Tian Ce Mansion like this had been defeated by Zhu Xian. Right now, the Mu Clan's army numbered less than 50,000. Even if the red-robed minister was able to successfully recall the various old clans, it would probably not exceed 500. Yuan Guilong, on the other hand, only had one blade left. In front of the Tian Ce Mansion like this, it could only be considered an ant.

Xu Han knew that he still had a long way to go before he could turn around.

Hence, even during the past few days, Xu Han did not stop cultivating.

His physical body had already reached the Violet Firmament Realm, and his Internal Strength had also reached the Three Elements Realm. Such strength could be considered outstanding amongst his peers, but for those enemies he was about to face, it was still too weak.

Time was of the essence, so he naturally understood that cultivation was not something that could be accomplished overnight. However, it was better to wear a drop of water and stone and cultivate more every day than to do nothing.

Therefore, he used the rest time of the night to cultivate the Great Evolution Sword Technique. This sword technique was extremely mysterious, and the more Xu Han cultivated, the more he felt that this technique was different from the others. For example, ordinary Sword Dao cultivators at the True Essence Realm used their True Essence to travel through their internal organs, strengthen their physiques, and strengthen their internal breathing in order to open up the Three Elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man within their bodies. And what about the Great Evolution Sword Technique? It was to turn all of the true energy in a cultivator's body into sword intent and use the sword intent to break through the three elements of heaven, earth, and man in his body. The two did not sound different, as if they were only using different powers.

But there was actually a difference between heaven and earth.

Not to mention the fact that sword intent itself was a level higher than true qi and could be compared to true essence, this gave Xu Han the power to contend against cultivators of the Netherpassage Realm in the Three Yuan Realm. Furthermore, sword intent, as the name implies, is the power that the sword can stimulate or support. This power was compatible with the sword dao. If a cultivator used other weapons, they would naturally not be able to display their power. However, if they used a sword as a weapon, the power that could be unleashed between the two would be several times greater than that of an ordinary cultivator.

In the end, this Great Evolution Sword Technique was a sword art that only cultivated, ignoring the swords of the other sects and taking a biased path.

These past few days, Xu Han had been trying his best to infuse the true energy in his body into the sword seed and transform it into sword intent. In a few days, the true energy in his body had mostly transformed into sword intent. The next step was to break through to the Three Elements of Heaven, Earth and Man.

Fortunately, his physical body had already reached the Violet Firmament Realm. The exhaustion he felt from sleeplessness was not intense. He only needed to rest for an hour at noon every day before he could become vigorous again.

On this day, he arrived at the empty space of the inn early. He used the latter part of the Asura Technique. After reaching the Violet Firmament Realm, his cultivation speed slowed down significantly. However, Xu Han did not slack off. He continued to practice diligently every day.

At this time, Xuan'er, who had been wild all night, would rush out from the corner and stand under the eaves or the branches, tilting her head to look at Xu Han.

After finishing his set of fists and feet, Xu Han was already sweating profusely, but he did not feel tired. On the contrary, he felt indescribably refreshed.

"Manor Master, this set of fists and feet is very peculiar." Suddenly, an old voice sounded in his ears.

Xu Han was stunned. He turned his head to look, only to see Mr. Lu, who was dressed in a red robe, standing behind him at some unknown time.

At this time, the sky hadn't completely lit up yet, but Xu Han didn't want Mr. Lu to get up so early. After being slightly stunned, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mr. Lu, why don't you sleep a little longer? Are you feeling better?" Mr. Lu had used his Nature Energy several times in succession to resist the Mu Clan Army in Big Yellow City, so he spent some time recuperating. Seeing him get up so early, Xu Han was somewhat worried that this would be harmful to his health.

"Much better. Prefecture Head, don't look at this old man's old age, but this old bone is really tough!" The old gentleman waved his hand and said with a smile. However, he immediately changed the topic and asked, "I see that the fist and feet used by the Prefecture Master just now seemed to be a method of cultivating the fleshly body. It is very rare. I wonder where he came from?"

This question caused Xu Han to be stunned again. He hesitated for a few breaths before saying, "It's a technique passed down from our ancestors. The side branches are not enough."

In the end, Xu Han still didn't tell this old gentleman about the foundation of this "Asura Art". This was a habit that he had cultivated after years of wandering. In the end, he wasn't willing to reveal everything to others casually.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Mr. Lu, it was just instinctive concealment. It was like when a wild beast encountered a strange movement, it would subconsciously squat down and observe a principle.

But how could he hide this from Mr. Lu?

The old man looked deeply at Xu Han at that time, but in the end, he did not say anything to pierce Xu Han.

He smiled and sat down on the steps of the eaves of the inn. Then, he reached out and patted the side.

Xu Han understood and hurriedly sat over.

…

It was September.

Autumn is coming to an end, winter is coming.

An old tree planted in the courtyard of the inn was already covered with yellow leaves.

A gust of autumn wind blew over, and the last leaf on the old tree struggled to be blown off.

At that time, the old man looked up at the swaying leaves, his gaze deep, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Palace Master, have you thought about it?" After a while, the old man's voice sounded again.

Sitting at the side, Xu Han watched as the leaves drifted down. He was stunned when he heard this and only regained his senses after a few breaths.

"I've thought it through." He nodded and naturally understood what Mr. Lu meant.

"This is a choice that has no way out. Once you enter, there is no chance of escaping. Either you win or you die." As Mr. Lu said this, his head turned to Xu Han, and his expression was somewhat surprised.

Xu Han saw the astonishment in the old gentleman's eyes, but he only smiled, "Sir, do you not believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you." Mr. Lu shook his head. "Although the Manor Master is young, his temperament is rare in this old man's life. Since the Manor Master has made a decision, this old man naturally believes it. However, I am slightly puzzled as to what made the Young Master make up his mind."

Hearing this, Xu Han stood up.

He looked up at the horizon and remembered the brief conversation he had with Lin Shou that night.

"A long time ago, an elder told me that everyone has their own fate. Good or bad, everyone has to accept their fate."

"At that time, my life wasn't good, so I didn't want to admit my life."

"I fought and paid a price to become the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master. I thought I had succeeded, but I discovered that there were always people who didn't want me to live a good life."

"Only then did I realize that it wasn't my life that was bad, it was the lives of all the people in the world."

"Since it's not good, then what's the use of hiding?"

"Why don't we fight again, for ourselves, for everyone?"

"Either way, I'm lucky or lucky. I didn't escape. I'll have a good fight. This life is my own."

"Sir, is that the truth?"
