Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 66 - Another Show of Authority

Why is she looking at him?

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be startled.

But thinking about Lin Fuxiang’s beauty, it would indeed be a great waste for her to be withered by time, so he nodded and said, “If there’s a chance, I’ll get you one!”

Lin Fuxiang immediately smiled sweetly, thinking that this silly boy actually did have a thoughtful side to him, not realizing that he didn’t mean it that way.

Lv Sue’s gaze was frigid as she fixed her eyes on Zhou Heng.

After a moment, she made a throat-slashing gesture across her neck, then turned and left, her figure quickly disappearing among the white walls and black tiles.

“Eh, Junior Brother Zhou, did you offend her before?” Niu Li turned and looked at Zhou Heng.

“A little grudge!” Zhou Heng glossed over it lightly.

“Then you’d better be careful.

Lv Sue is a disciple of Elder Zhuxuan, and it is said…

heh, you know, if it’s just a small grudge, you’d better prepare some gifts and apologize to her; otherwise, it will cause endless trouble,” Niu Li said—only a few in Black Water Hall knew that Lv Sue was the mother of Jin Xiulong’s brothers.

You know?

At first, Zhou Heng really didn’t understand, until he saw Lin Fuxiang blushing with embarrassment, and then it dawned on him—Lv Sue had encountered the same situation here as in White Jade Valley, where she ended up in the bed of her own master!

Thinking about it, this woman was also rather pitiable, but the grudges between her and Zhou Heng had no hope of resolution.

The enmity of killing one’s child is bone-deep pain, even if those two sons were not ones Lv Sue wanted to have.

Apologize with gifts?

Sure, as long as Zhou Heng’s head was sent over, that would settle their grudges!

Unfortunately, Zhou Heng had no intention whatsoever of offering his head.

Then let’s have a fight!

Killing one’s fellow sect members was likewise forbidden within Black Water Hall.

Therefore, while he was in Black Water Hall, Lv Sue could, at most, make things difficult for him.

Only when he left could she make a move against him, and even then, she couldn’t let others find out with grand fanfare!

Zhou Heng sneered inwardly.

If Lv Sue wanted to kill him, he didn’t mind eliminating the last person related to the Jin Family and ending all future troubles.

Niu Li led the three of them to receive their Order Tokens first, which were much more advanced than those of the Nine Spirit Sect.

The tokens contained a small formation that could truly discern each person’s identity and even record their merits and faults in detail.

Like the Nine Spirit Sect, Black Water Hall also used Contribution Values, also recorded in the Order Tokens.

Contribution Values could be exchanged for Martial Arts Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and Pills, but most importantly, they could be traded for Spirit Stones.

“Senior Brother Niu, what is a Spirit Stone?” Zhou Heng asked without any pretense.

He never pretended to understand things he didn’t.

“After a Martial Artist enters the Spirit Gathering Realm, they begin to absorb nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation.

You should know, the richer the spiritual energy, the faster the cultivation proceeds!

A Spirit Stone is heaven’s gift, the crystallized spiritual energy, extremely concentrated and able to boost the speed of cultivation by double!” Niu Li spoke freely, as this was no secret.

To boost by double!

That would be triple the normal speed of cultivation!

If others needed ten years to reach the peak of a Realm, with Spirit Stones, it would only take a bit more than three years!

Even though from the Spirit Gathering Realm onwards, what hindered a Martial Artist’s progression was not the accumulation of Cultivation Level but the breakthrough of Realms.

However, the less time needed for cultivation accumulation, the more time there would be to attempt breaking through Realms, and that was of great significance!

“Senior Brother Niu, I’ve heard that Spirit Stones are ranked, is that true?” Lin Fuxiang interjected.

“That’s right, there are four grades of Spirit Stones.

The Top Grade is the highest, followed by the Upper Grade, then the Middle Grade and the Lower Grade.

The Spirit Stones we can get are only of the Lower Grade, which can double the speed of cultivation.

Middle Grade Spirit Stones triple it, Upper Grade quintuple, and Top Grade by tenfold!”

Tenfold!

Even Jing Tian, who seemed too lazy to be shocked by anything, showed a hint of surprise.

“Moreover—” Niu Li’s expression turned serious, showing a look of immense longing, “it is said that because Top Grade Spirit Stones are the purest, absorbing the spiritual energy within them can help one communicate with the heavens and earth, understand the greater ways, and if used for a long time for cultivation, they effectively merge with the Dao, greatly reducing the difficulty of breaking through!”

It has such miraculous effects?

Lin Fuxiang immediately said, “Senior Brother Niu, how can one obtain Top Grade Spirit Stones?”

“Junior Sister Lin, you’re getting ahead of yourself,” Niu Li smiled wryly, “The entire Cold Blue Country only has a single vein of Lower Grade Spirit Stones, held by the Heavenly Star Sect.

All the Spirit Stones our hall acquires are traded for with Spirit Grass and Treasure Iron.”

“Top Grade Spirit Stones!

It is said they are extremely rare throughout the continent, and who knows what superpower holds them.

Without an Expert of the Divine Infant Realm to guard them, one couldn’t possibly keep them safe!” Niu Li sighed and shook his head.

“Forget it, let’s start with the Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

After we master peerless divine techniques, we’ll go and rob the Top Grade Spirit Stones!” Lin Fuxiang said with the manner of a robber.

Zhou Heng and Jing Tian both flashed a slight smile, the fighting spirit blazing in their eyes.

They were not intimidated by the expert from the Divine Infant Realm; on the contrary, it sparked their fighting spirit a hundredfold.

Niu Li gave a wry smile.

These two guys really were like fearless calves, not afraid of the tiger!

However, both of them were indeed freaks, one not yet twenty and already seeing the opportunity to break through the Spirit Gathering Realm, while the other was even more terrifying, already in the Spirit Gathering Realm!

Maybe these two really could defy the heavens!

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to where you’ll be staying!”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Niu!”

Niu Li led the three of them to a huge courtyard, which was divided into several smaller yards.

Each yard was detached with its own entrance and planted with a variety of flowers, like a fairyland on earth.

Zhou Heng and the other two were each allocated a separate courtyard connected to each other.

Lin Fuxiang chose the middle one, with Zhou Heng and Jing Tian living to the left and right, as if they were guards for this young lady.

After everything was settled, Niu Li took his leave, and the three of Zhou Heng’s group, out of courtesy, escorted him all the way to the main gate of the outer courtyard before waving goodbye.

Just as they turned around to head back, they saw a young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old approaching them, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a vibrant look.

“My name is Bi Hecheng!” He stopped about ten feet away from Zhou Heng and the others.

“Which one of you is Zhou Heng?”

“What can I do for you?” Zhou Heng stepped forward.

“So it’s you!” Bi Hecheng shook his head and paced a few steps with his hands behind his back.

“I have some unfortunate news for you; you’ve offended Senior Sister Lv, so I’m going to have to teach you a lesson!”

Senior Sister Lv?

Lv Sue!

She really couldn’t stay out of trouble!

But this Bi Hecheng was just too weak!

Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, “You’re no match for me, stand aside, don’t embarrass yourself!”

What!

Enraged, steam seemed to come out of Bi Hecheng’s seven orifices.

He was at the peak of the First Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm, with one foot already stepping into the Second Layer Heaven.

He could look down upon his peers and now he was being scorned by a younger person!

Originally, he just wanted to curry favor with Lv Sue, but now he was truly angry!

“I was only going to break one of your arms, but now, I’ve decided to break both!

This way, I won’t need to wonder whether I should break your left or right arm!” Bi Hecheng said grimly.

By then, people had already come out from many of the small courtyards.

Some walked over, while others stood on the walls, each one at the Spirit Gathering Realm, of varying ages, both men and women.

They were naturally disciples of the Inner Palace of Black Water Hall.

They watched the imminent fight at the gate with indifference, instead showing expressions of someone watching a play.

—Every time a new disciple entered the Inner Palace, such a scene would definitely unfold.

It was a warning to newcomers not to be too arrogant or self-conceited.

“It’s Bi Hecheng again.

This guy always strikes hard!”

“Of course, he’s narrow-minded and vengeful.

He was taught a lesson by Senior Brother Shui when he first came in.

He doesn’t dare challenge Senior Brother Shui, so he always takes out his frustration on the new junior brothers and sisters!”

“However, Bi Hecheng does have high talent.

In less than two years after entering the hall, he went from the Initial Period of First Layer Heaven to the Peak, and he even sees hope of breaking through!”

“Yeah, his opponent is in trouble!”

Amidst this buzzing discussion, Bi Hecheng was already advancing towards Zhou Heng with stride, while Jing Tian and Lin Fuxiang took the initiative to step back.

They were not worried about Zhou Heng, because after all, wasn’t Jin Xiulong at the peak of the First Layer Heaven too?

Zhou Heng slaughtered him without even using his full strength!

A killing intent flashed in Zhou Heng’s gaze, and he secretly lamented the rules, feeling regret.

You couldn’t kill anyone within Black Water Hall!

Frustrating!

Since you’ve made me frustrated, you are going to have it worse!

“Kid, let you see—” Before Bi Hecheng could finish his grand pre-battle declaration, Zhou Heng had already launched an attack.

Before he knew it, a big fist was coming at his face.

Boom!

He was sent flying by the punch.

In a moment of silence that followed, the surrounding area suddenly filled with loud laughter, who would have thought Bi Hecheng’s attempt at showing off would be struck down instead?

“Bastard!” Bi Hecheng jumped up to his feet.

After all, he was at the peak of the First Layer Heaven.

If Zhou Heng didn’t use the Black Sword or unleash the power of his bloodline, a single blow wouldn’t have been enough to knock him down.

“Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” Zhou Heng coldly spoke, lunging forward.
