"These disciples from the ten great immortal sects are really a bunch of arrogant pricks, always acting like they're everyone's superior."

Chen Xun leaned against the tree trunk and sneered, "I think our Five Aggregates Sect is still the best, don't you agree, Bull?"

"Moo~" Black Bull responded. These immortal sect disciples were all more arrogant than the last. Who knows how badly they'd be bullied if they joined one of the ten great immortal sects.

"Good thing we didn't join the ten great immortal sects. With our mixed spiritual roots, Bull, have you ever heard of sect violence?"

"Moo?"

"Constantly being mocked, then we fight back, get mocked again, and it never ends. Even a dog would bark at us in that situation."

"Moo?!" Black Bull was shocked. That would make them the ultimate victims; only a fool would endure that.

"And because we're too strong, we'd constantly make enemies, always facing plots and schemes. Don't you think our eternal life would be wasted on such meaningless things?"

"Moo!" Black Bull's eyes filled with tears, enlightened once again. Brother Xun, you're the best!

Chen Xun smirked, resting his hands behind his head. When the deed is done, he leaves without a trace, hiding his achievements and fame, untouched by cause and effect. In his eyes, there were only two words: badass.

"Bull, let's rest for a few days. Digging tunnels is really exhausting."

"Moo~"

Man and bull began to snore loudly, completely out of place in the secret realm of Nandou Mountain. The key was that no one seemed to be able to do anything about them.

……

A month later, countless purple lightning bolts streaked across the sky of Nandou Mountain, and thunder rumbled continuously. The thick clouds filled the entire secret realm with a heavy sense of oppression.

The Earth Soul Vine, growing in an ancient hall by the lake, was recognized as the hardest spiritual herb to obtain because the hall was in the middle of a giant lake, Xin Yuan Lake.

This lake was filled with the power of Geng Metal. To reach the hall, one had to break through this power, and the hall was guarded by spirit beasts, making every step perilous.

Boom—

Another clap of thunder resounded, and the long-brewing clouds finally stirred. Sparse raindrops began to fall, quickly turning into a torrential downpour.

Shadows flitted around the edge of Xin Yuan Lake, their faces grim. Many corpses floated in the lake, riddled with holes, their deaths exceedingly tragic.

Many had already given up on harvesting the Earth Soul Vine. With so many spiritual herbs in Nandou Mountain, there was no need to take such a huge risk.

Moreover, the three Foundation Establishment spiritual herbs weren't only found in these three ancient halls. With some effort, one might get lucky and find them elsewhere.

As many people reconsidered, a deafening thunderclap from the sky turned the world white.

It also illuminated two figures standing on a cliff, their eyes fixed on the distant Xin Yuan Lake. The rain poured down on them, but they remained unmoved.

"Bull, do you think we can do it?"

"Moo~! Moo!"

They had been hiding and observing here for half a month, witnessing countless people rush into the hall and countless others die tragically in the lake from the Geng Metal qi.

But Xin Yuan Lake had a significant flaw: the height and speed of flight could perfectly avoid the Geng Metal qi. However, meeting both requirements was extremely difficult.

"Damn it, it's time to show some real skill."

Chen Xun took a deep breath, only to inhale a noseful of rainwater, causing him to cough violently.

An Immortal Sword slowly hovered at the edge of the cliff. Chen Xun said seriously, "Bull, this time it's all about speed and passion. Our future is in your hands!"

"Moo! Moo moo moo!" Black Bull's eyes widened, roaring and pawing the ground. It was serious.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! The wind howled, and the rain fell harder. A mana shield rose, and the Immortal Sword emitted a faint white light.

"Air Force One... Chen Xun..."

A barely audible voice came, and his veins bulged as he roared, "Ready!!!"

"Moo moo moo!!!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

……

The rapid sound of breaking through the air turned into a piercing screech. An Immortal Sword carried a man and a bull, diving towards the hall by the lake. The pounding of their hearts seemed to echo in their ears.

A sword light pierced the sky, continuously charging towards the hall. Its speed was breathtaking!

"Look, someone is flying with a sword at this moment!"

"So fast! Who is it?!"

"What?! The Geng Metal qi was dodged!"

……

Countless people by the lake roared in shock. The speed of the Immortal Sword was so fast that it dodged the Geng Metal qi by an extremely twisted angle, even outpacing the qi by half a step!

My god!

They were dumbfounded. What kind of devilish maneuver was this? In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Sword had rushed into the hall, where furious roars and the exclamations of hundreds of people echoed.

In such a torrential downpour and darkness, it was impossible to see who was on the sword. Even if they could, they would only see two withered leaves, and after seeing the leaves... they would only see two black hoods.

"Who are these bastards! I'll kill your whole family!"

"How dare you! State your name!"

"Cowardly rats, where are you running?!"

"Bastards!!!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

……

Everyone in the hall, including the spirit beasts, charged out, flying into the sky on their magical artifacts, their faces filled with rage.

These two had suddenly rushed into the hall in front of everyone, rampaged around, snatched two Earth Soul Vines, and flew away without a word.

"Stop right there!!"

"Which sect do these bastards belong to? Hiding their faces, don't let us find out!"

"Do you think you're great just because you can run fast?!"

……

Angry shouts and even a woman's scolding came from behind them. They had never suffered such humiliation, as if someone had crapped on their heads and then asked for toilet paper.

Watching the disciples of various sects fade into the distance, Chen Xun and Black Bull smirked. Sorry, but speed really does let you do whatever you want.

Whoosh!

The Immortal Sword lowered its altitude, diving into the deep forest, disappearing without a trace.

After today, they earned a new nickname: Sword Gods of Xin Yuan Lake. But no one could find them, and even the Immortal Sword was a common item, impossible to trace, as if they had vanished into thin air.

They gradually became a strange legend among the lower-level disciples of various sects, saying they might not even be human, which was half true.

"Bull, I can't hold on. Quick, find a place to recover my mana."

"Moo!"

Black Bull carried Chen Xun, searching for a hidden tree hollow. Finally, Black Bull's eyes gleamed as it found one.

Chen Xun was drenched in sweat, his mana severely depleted. He painfully took out a few low-grade spirit stones, forcing a smile, "I guess I'll have to be a rich fool this time."

"Moo~" Black Bull nuzzled Chen Xun, eyes full of worry.

"Bull, keep an eye on the surroundings. I'm fine."

Chen Xun sat cross-legged, channeling his energy. The low-grade spirit stones in his hands gradually shattered, and streams of spiritual qi flowed into his body, slowly restoring his depleted mana.

"Moo!" Black Bull responded, quickly extending its head and using a breath-concealing technique, remaining motionless.

The battle had been too thrilling, its heart nearly jumping out of its chest several times. The spirit beast had almost attacked them, but Chen Xun had twisted and turned to dodge it.

Black Bull glanced back at the meditating Chen Xun, eyes full of admiration. Today, it finally understood what it meant to be bold yet cautious, and still remain steady.
