Chapter 533: Chapter 230: Just Who is Golden Light Wanderer?

At this thought, the bird meat in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.

With that, Xiao Chen hastily took a couple of bites and continued his journey eastward.

He traveled nonstop for four days and three nights, covering over three hundred thousand miles before finally finding a new place to rest.

However, despite his incredible speed, he was still a considerable distance from the rumored Compassion Sea.

Xiao Chen, for his part, was focused on pushing onward.

Meanwhile, news that the Golden Light Wanderer had killed Dai Tianrui and successfully escaped an encirclement by three Nascent Soul cultivators had already spread throughout the entire Inner Sea.

For most cultivators, their first reaction was more or less the same.

Who on earth was this Golden Light Wanderer?

However, near Hundred Herbs Island, Lv Jingfu, who had gotten the news early through the Far Crossing Commerce Association, was left utterly dumbfounded.

He had long suspected that this master was no simple character, perhaps an expert from some Hidden Sect.

That was why, after the Spirit Medicine Banquet, he had visited multiple times to try and befriend him, but unfortunately, the man had always been in closed-door cultivation, training diligently.

After a few tries, he got busy preparing for a tea party and didn’t invest any more time.

But he never would have imagined that Xiao Chen was so incredibly powerful!

Other cultivators might not have known the Yin Corpse Sect’s standing in the Outer Sea, but as a traveling merchant, he knew it all too well.

Moreover, while most cultivators were focused on the young master of the Dai Family, he had instead taken note of the fact that six True Disciples from the Yin Corpse Sect had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

Although Dai Tianrui was indeed a poser with little real substance...

But the other five, especially the rumored Zhang Gongxian, were top-tier experts among Golden Core Cultivators, yet they had been mercilessly crushed.

Clearly, they weren’t on the same level at all.

Combined with the rumors that he was at the Half-Step Nascent Soul realm, anyone could figure it out: now that the attempt to capture him had failed, it would only be a few years before this Golden Light Wanderer broke through to become a True Monarch.

"Argh!"

Lv Jingfu slapped his thigh, his heart filled with immense regret.

If only he had known Xiao Chen was this powerful. Back then, he should have persisted for a few more days, no matter what, to build that connection.

Forging such a relationship would have been worth it, even if he never went to the Sea of Darkness in the future.

"Gao, this Golden Light Wanderer is incredible!"

Inside the Star-Picking Sword Pavilion, Mu Yaying and Gao Changgeng sat together in a gazebo.

She looked at the report in her hand and couldn’t help but exclaim, "To think he could shatter the Defense of a Nascent Soul True Monarch! Golden Light Taoist’s understanding of the Path of Fire must be incredibly profound."

Hearing his junior sister’s praise, Gao Changgeng curled his lip. "Hmph. He’s at the Half-Step Nascent Soul realm, so of course he can manage that."

"Besides, this Golden Light Wanderer is already middle-aged. He just has a few decades on me, that’s all."

"The year after next, at the latest, I’ll be able to attempt my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm."

"Just you watch, Junior Sister. Once I take that step, I’ll be much stronger than him!"

...

Elsewhere, the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Sect had also received the news.

’He’s really that powerful?’

Ling Tianyi’s expression was one of stunned disbelief as he stared at the report in his hands.

He had also planned to go to the new Relic, but he’d been sidetracked by an opportunity to earn some Spirit Stones and ran out of time to make it there.

He never thought such a major event would happen there.

Ling Tianyi already regretted missing the Relic, and now he sighed. "Ai. If only I had known, I would have gone straight to Celestial Star Island."

This was especially true after hearing that the Golden Light Wanderer had used top-tier Swordsmanship within the Relic.

He found himself staring at the related details in the report, lost in thought, wondering what a magnificent sight it must have been.

At this thought, Ling Tianyi sighed with emotion once more. "We’re both Sword Cultivators, yet I didn’t notice a thing at the time. What a formidable Sword Heart."

"But that’s alright. Next year at the earliest, or the year after at the latest, I too will find the Sword Dao within my heart."

He quickly regained his composure, a hint of determination in his eyes. "This is what makes things interesting, right? Don’t you agree, Mo?"

The Ink Flood Dragon lying beside him merely lifted one eyelid, gave a perfunctory nod, and went back to sleep.

’No idea what’s gotten into Master this time.’
