BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1094: Zao Nianjian
Long Feng nodded to them. "Xie Zuzhou has lived since ancient times, and his cultivation has reached the supreme immortal long ago. At first, we thought that he was the strongest cultivator in the supreme realm, but I didn't expect that there was another cultivator who could match him, which was Zhizun Buxiu.
Our parents never mentioned anything about that man, and we only learned about him from Senior Yu."
"Do you have any information regarding Xie Zuzhou?" Ling Yun questioned the spirit of the void.
"I have heard a lot about Xie Zuzhou in the past, but I have never met him in person. After all, my cultivation is far below his, and he is the ancestor of the ancient devil race." Zhou Yu then shared some of his memories with Ling Yun. "That guy is truly evil, and all his techniques are too terrifying, especially his devil summons.
Even though I am a spirit woman, I will still be affected by those devils, so I wouldn't be so crazy as to enter his lair. Fortunately, Zhizun Buxiu has always been the opposite of him, and he has repeatedly stopped him from causing chaos there."
Ling Yun then looked up at the spirit of lust. "What about you, Ling Xi?"
Ling Xi shook her head at Ling Yun. "Unlike Zhou Yu, I don't really care about such matters. Moreover, I've always lived with my past hosts, and none of them have ever met Xie Zhuzhou, so I don't know anything about him. However, some of them have met members of the Xie clan, and all of them are truly powerful.
Just like you, they can fight with cultivators with cultivation several major levels above them, but they fight not using their own strength, and they have to borrow the power of the ancient devils to increase their strength."
"Borrowing the power of the ancient devils, huh?" Ling Yun muttered to himself.
"You should forget your idea." The two spirit women immediately warned Ling Yung.
"Why?"
Ling Xi sighed heavily before telling Ling Yun. "You do have a devil soul, but those ancient devils are different from you, and they are true devils. In fact, members of their clan will become berserk once they borrow their power, and their minds are filled with nothing but the desire to kill.
Moreover, they cannot return to being themselves after borrowing their power, and the ancient devils will absorb their lives until they die."
"A suicide technique, huh?"
"Yes." Ling Xi nodded to Ling Yun. "The members of that clan usually use them as a last resort if they are in a pinch and cannot defeat their opponents, and they choose to borrow the power of those ancient devils to take their enemies to death with them."
"She's right, brother-in-law." Ling Yun directly faced Long Feng. "I've fought with some of them, and they are truly madmen. They can't accept defeat, so they use all means to take their enemies down. However, they also have suicide squads, but these squads are not made up of members of their own race.
Instead, they are ordinary people who were deliberately kidnapped by them to use against their enemies; they no longer have their consciousness because Xie Zuzhou planted his devil summons into their bodies, so he controls those people through them.
If my memory serves me correctly, Xie Shaoguang also possesses the authority to utilize those people, though I am uncertain if he brought them here or not."
"Xie Shaoguang didn't bring their suicide squads to this tower, especially since their clan members downstairs have their own consciousness."
Long Feng appeared relieved upon hearing that information. "Anyway, we have to be wary of Xie Yong and Xie Min because they are Xie Zuzhou's trusted men, and their abilities are beyond common sense; even my father has to be careful when he fights them, even though his cultivation is far above theirs."
"What do you mean by that, brother?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Elder sister, those two are actually special creations of Xie Zuzhou, assisted by his wife, Qi Wuhei. Our father told me that they are semi-immortals."
"Semi-immortals?" Not only did Xiao Xiao appear shocked, but Ling Yun and the others also displayed shock.
Long Feng nodded and continued. "They look like ordinary humans, but their current bodies are not their original bodies, and they are actually ancient devils. In fact, Xie Zuzhou has ten ancient devils under him, but only two of them always appear in public, and the identities of the other eight are still secret.
We consider those ten to be semi-immortals because they will never die as long as Xie Zuzhou is alive, and Qi Wuhei will continue to resurrect them."
"I see." Zhou Yu nodded in understanding. "No wonder they can enter this tower because their bodies are not their original bodies, so their cultivation is the same as the bodies they possess. Do you know anything about Qi Wuhei?"
Long Feng shook his head in response to Zhou Yu's question. "No one, including my father, has ever seen Qi Wuhei. Zhizun Buxiu might have met her before, so you can ask him about her. However, my father has heard rumors that she is actually a devil witch, and she is the mastermind behind Xie Zuzhou's power.
If we want to defeat him, then we must defeat her first, or else his devil army will continue to rise again."
"Forget it; we don't need to think about Xie Zuzhou or Qi Wuhei for now, but we have to be wary of Xie Shaoguang and the two ancient devils by his side." Ling Yun then stood up and looked towards the gate to the 43rd floor. "Our journey to the top of this tower is still very long, so we should move now.
If we continue to waste time, then the three of them will catch up to us sooner than expected, so we must fight those beasts with all our strength."
They immediately followed Ling Yun to the 43rd floor, where they started fighting with the beasts again.

In a distant realm, Long Tianhuo was playing Chinese chess with a white-haired old man, but neither of them were serious about their game at all. "Did you manage to find your daughter in that tower, Little Kid?"
"Thanks to your Shidai; Bing'er and I have met Xiao'er, Old Man Zao." Long Tianhuo then returned the flying artifact to the old man, who was none other than Zao Nianjian. "We didn't expect that she already has a husband now, and she has known her husband since she was born. Even though he is much younger than her, she loves him very much, and she is also happy with him.
Moreover, that kid is not an ordinary cultivator, and he will stand above us one day in the future."
"Oh?" Zao Nianjian looked at Long Tianhuo in surprise. "Are you praising him because he is your son-in-law? I've known you since you were very little, and your pride is as high as your father's, so you never look up to other people, including this old man."
"Hahaha!" Long Tianhuo laughed loudly in response. "Old Man Zao, my pride may be high, but you should know that I am not that arrogant, right? I praise him not because he is my son-in-law, but because I have personally witnessed his strength over several days, and I believe he has the potential to surpass us in the future.
Moreover, he is not an ordinary human, but rather a human with the most powerful beast bloodline in this universe. Besides, he has a good relationship with the spirit races, and some women of that race are his wives."
Zao Nianjian's hand, gripping the chess piece, stopped in midair as he gazed in shock at Long Tianhuo. "The most powerful beast bloodline in this universe? Isn't that the-"
"As you have thought, Old Man." Long Tianhuo nodded to Zao Nianjian. "Anyway, Ling Yun got his bloodline from the spirit of lust, and they have been together since then. Beside her, the spirit of lightning and the spirit of void are his wives, so you should understand why I said that, right?"
Zao Nianjian then placed the chess piece in his hand in its position. "I have met the spirit of void a few times in the past, and if I remember correctly, her name was Zhou Yu, right?"
"You are right, her name is Zhou Yu."
Zao Nianjian nodded as a smile appeared on his old face. "That woman is quite naughty and eccentric, so I didn't expect that she would choose a human as her husband. Do you think the primordial chaos dragon will return through your son-in-law?"
"Yes." Long Tianhuo then told Zao Nianjian. "Ling Yun has already obtained the primordial chaos dragon's bloodline, soul, and skeleton. They guessed that another part of the old dragon's body part is at the top of the mysterious tower, so they decided to challenge it to retrieve it.
If he succeeds in collecting all the old dragons's body parts and implanting them into his body, then he will be reborn as the new primordial chaos dragon. Unfortunately, the last part is in the hands of the Time Lord, so it is impossible for him to challenge him with his current strength, and it took him a long time to become one. Anyway, there is one thing that really bothers me, Old Man Zao."
Zao Nianjian raised his eyebrows upon observing the seriousness on his face, and Long Tianhuo immediately informed him about the danger that lurked within their universe. "Are you sure about the danger?"
"One hundred percent." Long Tianhuo replied with a serious nod. "Ling Yun and the others already know about the danger, and it has already engulfed the outer perimeter of our universe. Moreover, it is continuously moving inward, and it will sooner or later swallow the entire universe if no one stops it."
"Even immortals can't stop the danger, huh?" Long Tianhuo shook his head at Zao Nianjian. "Do you think your son-in-law is the one destined to stop it?"
"I myself am not sure about the true abilities of the primordial chaos dragon, so I cannot say that for sure, Old Man." Long Tianhuo then fell silent for a while. "Moreover, Ling Yun cannot possibly reach our level in a short time. As the older generation, we cannot rely solely on him for everything, and we need to prepare many things to face the danger."
Zao Nianjian nodded in agreement before rising to his feet and taking out his flying artifact. "Let's go; we will go to the peach garden valley to meet Zhizun Buxiu."
