Chapter 729: Chapter 309: The Ten-Li Farewell (Guo Wei’s Final Chapter)

News of Guo Wei’s return spread far and wide.

Many people who were friends with Guo Wei, or who admired him, rushed over from all parts of the land.

Word reached Mr. Du.

A few days later, he arrived on his flying sword, bringing Du Juan and Du Wushuang with him.

Two days later, the four brothers—Mo Shan, Demon Mark, Mo Lei, and Mo Shuang—also arrived together in Baiyang County and came to the Martial Arts Hall.

They had come to visit Guo Wei as well as Chu Lingguang.

Before the reincarnation cycle began, Mr. Du had found a compatible vine to merge with, successfully awakening his Spiritual Root. He subsequently obtained the Qi Refining and Qi Condensation Techniques to begin his cultivation.

He was now at the third level of Qi Refining.

He continued to serve the Great Yuan Dynasty.

As the number of Practitioners grew, many Qi Refining realm cultivators began appearing on the battlefield. During times of war, Yuanchu Mountain would dispatch cultivators to assist, and the Demon Sect would send their own as well.

Over the past few years, tensions between the Great Yuan and the Turkic tribes had flared up several times.

Yunchuan City has been on high alert.

In the past, cultivators were rare. The people of Yuanchu Mountain and the Demon Sect were focused on their own cultivation and rarely meddled in worldly affairs. However, the Tree Vine Demon helped countless people awaken their Spiritual Roots. As the Qi Refining and Qi Condensation Techniques spread throughout the world, many people saw their Martial Arts improve as well.

Neither Yuanchu Mountain nor the Demon Sect could completely prevent cultivators from participating in the war.

The only thing they could do was make a pact: cultivators above the Qi Refining realm were forbidden from participating in the war.

"Wushuang."

"Commandery Princess."

Chu Lingguang noticed that Du Juan and Du Wushuang had also entered the Qi Refining realm, though both were only at the first level.

"My brothers."

He then looked at the four of them: Mo Shan, Demon Mark, Mo Shuang, and Mo Lei.

The four of them were far less talented than Du Juan and Du Wushuang.

When they reached middle age, their cultivation had stagnated at the Qi Sea Perfection realm. It wasn’t until the Tree Vine Demon unleashed a storm of Spiritual Qi that the four of them, baptized in its power, managed to break through and become True Martial Realm experts.

Unfortunately, they had been unable to advance any further since.

Their Mental Realm had remained at the second level. For the four of them, the True Martial Realm was perhaps the absolute limit of their strength.

But whether it was Mo Shan, Demon Mark, Mo Shuang, or Mo Lei, the four were already content with their current strength. This power was something they had never dared to imagine before.

"Lin Guang, it’s been a few years. You seem even more mysterious and unfathomable than before," Mo Shan said gravely.

Although their own cultivation was lacking, they could sense that Chu Lingguang had become increasingly inscrutable.

"I’m your younger brother. No matter what I become, that will never change," Chu Lingguang smiled.

"That’s our brother!"

The four brothers were overjoyed.

’They had been afraid that Chu Lingguang would grow so powerful he would become a cold, indifferent Cultivator and forget the bond they shared. Of course, even if that happened, they wouldn’t have blamed him. It was their own fault, after all, for not being able to keep up as the gap between them and Chu Lingguang grew ever wider.’

"How are things in Yunchuan City?"

In the days since his return, Chu Lingguang had heard several times that the conflict between the Great Yuan and the Turkic tribes was growing more intense.

"Since the reincarnation cycle began, cultivators have emerged all over the place. The fighting on the battlefield is no longer the brutal, large-scale affair it once was."

"Now, whenever a battle begins, cultivators first engage in magical duels."

"Only after one side wins does the main army advance."

"Yunchuan City is fine for now, but along the national border, cultivators have been dueling for months. The Turkic Prince, Andenuk, had an incredible stroke of luck and awakened a Dual Spiritual Root. Rumor has it he’s already been scouted by an overseas sect. His power is unfathomable. He’s been the one fighting the Great Yuan’s cultivators this whole time, and very few have managed to get the upper hand against him."

Du Wushuang and Du Juan explained in turn.

"Oh."

"To think Andenuk would have such fortune. If I get the chance, I’ll have to test him for myself."

’Chu Lingguang hadn’t forgotten that day at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, along the national border. Andenuk, his physique enhanced, had nearly reached Little Red Horse with the sheer power of his legs. If Yan Zhen hadn’t stepped in to help, Andenuk would have killed him with a single palm strike. But now, his cultivation had soared. He had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. He had cultivated numerous Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities—the Qi Refining Technique, Qi Condensation Technique, Qi Manipulation Technique, Sword Control Technique, and Immortal Slaying Sword Technique—all to the Perfection realm. On top of that, his power was augmented by fifth-order Telekinesis. It would be a lie to say he didn’t want to defeat Andenuk and get even for what happened back then.’

However, Guo Wei’s days were numbered. Chu Lingguang could only stay by his side for now. The matter with Andenuk would have to wait.

"You, Yan Zhen, and Andenuk are all top-notch talents. I heard Andenuk is also looking for you and Yan Zhen, even sending people overseas to investigate your whereabouts. If he knew you were back in the Great Yuan, he would do everything in his power to find you and force a confrontation at the national border."

"He’s a battle maniac. Even after becoming a Cultivator, his temperament hasn’t changed. Many cultivators from the Great Yuan have fallen at his hands, and countless people are terrified at the mere mention of his name," Du Wushuang sighed.

’Against Andenuk, his first-level Qi Refining strength meant he would be killed in an instant. During every duel, he could only hide in the back and watch from afar. Du Wushuang deeply admired a champion like Andenuk, wishing he could fight him for three hundred rounds. But alas, he simply didn’t have the strength.’

Now that Chu Lingguang had returned, Du Wushuang could almost picture the two champions clashing at the national border, and he couldn’t stop his blood from boiling with excitement.

"He and I will have our battle. If he doesn’t come for me, I’ll go for him. But if Yan were here, he might be a better match for Andenuk."
