"Sword complete—name it—how about Wentian? That name sounds impressive!" Li Yang chuckled, withdrew the Samadhi True Fire, opened his mouth and inhaled. A flash of light appeared, and his second primordial spirit shrank instantly, then was sucked back into his dantian with a whoosh.
Chapter 784: Gouchen Heavenly Book
"The sword is finished, but it still needs quenching and unsealing~ It's a pity that this world doesn't have top-grade Nine Heavens River water or Weak Water, so I'll use Chi You's essence blood. It's a first-rate treasure!" Thinking this, Li Yang immediately took out a bottle of Chi You's essence blood and sprinkled it onto the Wentian Sword. At the same time, he also sprinkled a drop of his own essence blood on it. The Wentian Sword trembled and let out a joyful cry… It turned out that its powerful array had been destroyed due to damage, leaving only a half-crippled body. Li Yang refined it again, collecting his essence blood, and immediately felt a blood connection with the sword, as if it were his own arm…
At the same time, the longsword trembled, and a mysterious and wonderful pattern suddenly appeared on the sword. It was very magical. Li Yang stared at it carefully, trying to understand all the cultivation formations and talismans he knew, including the "Outline of Weapon Refining" in his mind, but he could not find any clues or any clues.
"Damn, what is this thing? Could it be related to Chi You's blood essence? Whatever, it's my sword anyway, it'll be mine from now on~" Li Yang stopped thinking about it, since he couldn't figure it out anyway...
"fly--"
Li Yang shouted, and the Heaven-Asking Sword suddenly burst forth with an astonishing sword light, instantly transforming from a foot-sized sword into a long sword over a meter long, spitting out sharp sword light that danced in the narrow space of the room.
"stop--"
Li Yang exclaimed in surprise, but he was still a step too slow. The flying sword had already struck the wall, and the Kui Water Talismans, which had been scorched by the Samadhi True Fire and were on the verge of collapse, instantly crumbled. A neat crack immediately appeared on the wall, cutting a deep slit in the steel and concrete wall as easily as cutting tofu. It was too sharp...
Li Yang was so excited he almost danced for joy!
"This sword is no ordinary thing. With the materials of the Heaven-Asking Divine Spear and the essence of Chi You's blood for tempering, it will surely shine brightly in the future!" Li Yang thought excitedly as he looked at the Heaven-Asking Immortal Sword.
Suddenly, Li Yang sensed an unusual fluctuation in the air. "What's going on? There seems to be a violent fluctuation of magical power. Could it be that someone is fighting a magical duel in the suburbs?"
"No, I have to go check!" Li Yang immediately opened his mouth and inhaled, and the Heavenly Sword instantly shrank to the size of a toothpick and disappeared into Li Yang's stomach. Li Yang pushed open the window and jumped out, disappearing outside in a few leaps.
Night, the sky is full of stars, on a hilltop in the suburbs.
"You vixen, if you're smart, hand over the stuff right now, or not only will you lose your life, but you'll also become our prince's queen~ Do you know what queen means? It means you'll be embraced by the prince for the first time, and then you'll never be able to leave him, hahaha... You're the only one left in your fox demon clan, don't you want your ignorance to lead to the extinction of your fox demon clan?" Several white men arrogantly surrounded a beautiful Asian woman.
"You shameless vampires! Let me tell you, even if I die, I will never hand over the *Gouchen Heavenly Book* to you!" the woman cried out in grief and indignation. The *Gouchen Heavenly Book* was the sacred text of the demon race, the supreme secret manual of the Heavenly Emperor Gouchen, possessing unfathomable power. She was counting on this secret manual to bring prosperity to her fox demon clan. She would rather die than hand it over.
"Is that so? Since you don't know what's good for you, brothers, make your move!" The leader roared angrily, took a step back, and instead of making a move himself, he ordered the three vampires behind him to take action.
He was a marquis, and the three behind him were earls—all formidable figures in the vampire world. The ranks of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron—five levels in total—are achievable through hard work and gradual advancement within the vampire ranks. Only a prince is attained through a series of extraordinary opportunities, with even a one in ten thousand chance of achieving that status. And the one who sent them on this mission was a prince.
"Die—" The three vampires leaped away, surrounding the woman and baring their sharp fangs. They spread their arms and pounced!
"Whoosh—"
Just as the three vampires were about to make their move, a black sword light descended from the sky, carrying an astonishingly surging sword aura. In a few swift movements, the three ferocious vampires were instantly reduced to chunks of flesh, falling to the ground in a truly disgusting sight.
"Flying sword? Someone from Mount Shu!" the marquis exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, he recognized the flying sword.
"Oh? You have a good eye!" Li Yang stepped forward and saw several people bullying a woman of Asian descent. He immediately stepped in to help her.
“Let me tell you, we are Prince Aida’s men. He sent us. Moreover, Prince Aida has a good relationship with your Shu Mountain sect. They’ve always kept to themselves. Are you a low-ranking disciple of Shu Mountain? Don’t you know our relationship?” the Marquis shouted, staring at Li Yang.
"That's right, I'm just a low-ranking disciple of Mount Shu. Killing you is more than enough for me~" Li Yang sneered. With a thought, he used the Heavenly Questioning Immortal to draw a black light, which, with astonishing sword energy, pierced towards the Marquis.
"You—" The marquis was utterly astonished, and in a flash, he transformed into a giant bat and flew into the sky.
"Vampires? How come they look so much like Chi You's true form? Could it be that the blood energy in the vampires comes from the witch clan? The Nine Li bloodline?" Li Yang was astonished and immediately spread his wings, unleashing a surging and astonishing aura.
"Ah—you, you, you are the Saint?" The Marquis in the air became excited and landed on the ground with a thud, looking at Li Yang in disbelief.
"It seems to be true. When I received Chi You's inheritance, I sensed a response from the West. It seems to be a response from several powerful vampires in the West."
“That’s right, I am the Saint. How many vampires are there in Europe and America now? I’m talking about the high-level ones,” Li Yang said in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is only one high-ranking prince, Prince Aida, two dukes, a dozen marquises, several dozen earls, and only about a hundred low-ranking vampires. The entire vampire clan now has only a little over a hundred people!" the marquis said with great sorrow.
"The situation is really worrying. Come here," Li Yang said with a sigh.
"Yes~" The marquis walked over without suspicion. Li Yang slapped him on the head, and the marquis died instantly, turning into a pile of rotten flesh. Li Yang then cast a Fire Talisman, which instantly burned his corpse and the corpses of the other counts to ashes.
"My Jiuli clan doesn't need white-haired devils. Having one yellow-haired saint like me is enough. I will carry on the bloodline of the Jiuli clan~ You can rest assured and go on your way!" After Li Yang finished speaking, he picked up the secret manual from the woman's hand.
"The 'Gouchen Heavenly Book'? Holy crap, this is something that defies the heavens! It's the sacred text of the demon race, the secret formula of the Great Emperor Gouchen!" Li Yang exclaimed in surprise. The "Outline of Weapon Refining" records that the Great Emperor Gouchen of the Heavenly Realm wrote a secret formula based on his own cultivation experience, called the "Gouchen Heavenly Book." It's an extremely high-level cultivation manual, especially for the demon race. It's practically the sacred text of the demon race, something that any demon would fight to the death for. No wonder this little fox demon was protecting it so desperately.

"But, isn't this a good deal for me now? But is the 'Gouchen Heavenly Book' that was lost in the human world the complete version? Could it be a pirated copy?" Li Yang flipped through it and found it indeed mysterious and difficult to understand.
Just as Li Yang was about to study the "Gouchen Heavenly Book," a sudden gale arose in the sky, and a dark, ominous cloud pressed down. Li Yang was immediately startled; what a powerful aura! It was almost overwhelming Xiao Bai.
Li Yang hurriedly looked up and saw that the sky was filled with huge bats, one of which was particularly conspicuous, with golden light shimmering on its wings and golden eyes as well.
Li Yang was unaware of one thing: ever since he, the saint, was born, all the vampires from the Western countries, led by Prince Ada, had collectively rushed to China to search for this saint.
They were all nearby today, and upon suddenly hearing the news of the deaths of these vampires, they immediately rushed over.
"Who are you?" the golden bat asked majestically.
"Who am I? Feel it carefully!" Li Yang suddenly released his blood wings, simultaneously circulating the essence of Chi You within him, emanating a powerful vampire aura. Although his cultivation level was only Earl, his aura as a superior was unmatched by Ada and the others.
"Are you a saint?" Ada exclaimed, and immediately descended with the vampires in the air. More than a hundred dark-skinned people covered half a hillside.
Li Yang was a little frustrated. There were so many of them; it wouldn't be easy to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. It seemed like it would be another bloody battle!
“It’s me!” Li Yang nodded.
"Where are the others, Dak and the others?" Ada asked suspiciously, seeing the unconscious fox spirit woman on the ground.
"The few of them? I don't know, they weren't here when I arrived!" Li Yang lied.
"Then how does she explain it?" Ada pointed at the fox demon woman with a gloomy look in her eyes.
"How would I know?" Li Yang said, amused.
