Chapter 551 - Chapter 730

As the spiritual power surged out of Chu Xuan's body, the lush green potted plant aged at an extremely fast speed.

In a short while, it completely turned into a pot of dead branches.

He immediately exclaimed in admiration, "The power of withering and flourishing!"

"Hmm...but for now, there is only withering, no flourishing."

"I never thought that I would actually encounter that one percent chance of becoming an Earth-grade spirit body!"

The withered wood body is an extremely rare earth-grade spiritual body.

People who possess such a spiritual body can easily connect with the wood spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth.

You can easily embark on the path to immortality without a guide.

From the Qi Refining period, they can master the power of withering.

He had read about various spiritual bodies before and was aware of the existence of the dead tree body.

But they didn't know that the dead wood body could actually be promoted from the Yin wood spirit body.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the advanced version of the withered wood body.

"It is said that the Celestial Spirit Body and the Holy Body of Withering and Flourishing are promoted from the Withered Wood Dharma Body."

"But the withered wood body only has the power of withering. It also requires a treasure that contains the power of growth to reconcile withering and flourishing and truly form the withered and flourishing holy body."

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to obtain that treasure..."

After a brief moment of yearning, he immediately shook his head.

"Forget it, it's better not to aim too high."

"Taking one Divine Wood Pill, he was able to upgrade his Yin Wood Spirit Body to a Dead Wood Dharma Body. This has far exceeded my expectations."

"My luck is really good."

He smiled with satisfaction.

…

In the following period of time.

Chu Xuan often went to various small buildings in the night market.

Liuyun Tower is just one of them.

In fact, there are three small buildings in total, and the other two are Tingyun Tower and Poyun Tower.

Of course, these three small buildings were built at the instruction of the Baili family.

The Baili family also knew that many Jindan cultivators did not want to be charged a layer of tax during transactions, so they would definitely trade privately.

He simply turned a blind eye and secretly ordered the construction of three small buildings to accommodate private transactions among the Divine Transformation cultivators.

Henry Chu would change into a different identity every time he went to the night market.

His disguise skills are extremely impressive.

Unless the Baili family's out-of-body ancestor appears, no one can see through his disguise.

Of course.

He also knew that with so many Spiritual Transformation Stage elixirs flowing into the market at once, it would definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

So he did not trade too many pills openly.

Always stay within a certain limit.

At most, it will make those who are interested feel strange, but it is not worth their trouble to investigate.

As for the auction house, he would go there from time to time.

If I come across something I need, I will take a picture of it.

However, the posture has become much more naive.

It's not very important anyway. If you can take a picture of it, take it. If you can't, you can naturally get it somewhere else.

It's just a little troublesome.

These lazy days passed in the blink of an eye.

Soon it was time for the Treasure Conference to end.

…

Hong Zhao, the head of the Hong family, looked towards the private room of the Gong family, frowning deeply. "During this period, he has been almost always in two places: either staying in the courtyard or coming to the auction house with Gong Mingjian, Gong Hail, and the others."

"I haven't even been to the night market once."

"Old Ancestor, do you think he noticed something?"

Hong Tianwei, the ancestor of the Hong family, did not even open his eyes, but simply said, "What if you noticed it? What if you didn't notice it?"

Hong Zhao smiled awkwardly, "What the Baili family asked me to do..."

Hong Tianwei said calmly, "The Baili family hasn't set a date yet. There's still a long way to go, and we have plenty of opportunities."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"When you planned to attack Gong Tianxue, you were too impatient. That's why you didn't kill her with one strike. Instead, you let her survive and escape back to the Gong family."

"It almost exposed the traces of our attack on Gong Tianxue."

Hong Zhao's face was filled with shame, "My ancestor taught me that."

Hong Tianwei closed his eyes and rested, "Wait."

"The Treasures Conference is about to end, and the Gong family will definitely return."

"Let them block the Gong family on the necessary route."

Hong Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Should we ask the Kuangfeng Society to take action?"

"Won't this mean we'll have to break off relations with the Gong family?"

Hong Tianwei then opened his eyes and glared at Hong Zhao, "Then let's break up!"

"After the third major encirclement and suppression campaign and the Qianli Gorge Battle, the strength of the three families declined to varying degrees. The Jin family and my Hong family also suffered heavy losses."

"The Gong family suffered very little loss, but in comparison, they have become stronger!"

"Except for its background, the Gong family is almost the same as the top three families!"

"Given time, the Gong family will certainly suppress our Hong family! Just like what we and the Jin family did to the Gong family in secret before!"

"Also, guess which side the Baili family will protect after things get out of hand?"

"Is it the increasingly powerful Gong family, or my Hong family?"

Hong Zhao is not stupid after all.

After Hong Tianwei's reminder, he reacted quickly.

Hong Tianwei was furious at the lack of resistance, "Suppressing the strong and supporting the weak has always been the balancing act of the Baili family."

"As the head of the Hong family, you should be well aware of this principle!"

Hong Zhao's face was filled with shame, "Old Ancestor is absolutely right."

"I'll go back and face the wall and reflect on my mistakes."

He changed the subject and said quickly, "The Kuangfeng Society already has a grudge against Zhang Jing. They will definitely go all out and not give Zhang Jing any chance."

Hong Tianwei snorted coldly, "Of course. Zheng Ye, one of Feng Chengjue's four generals, was defeated by Zhang Jing."

"And Si Ying and Li Ba, they were also very likely killed by Zhang Jing."

"Feng Chengjue naturally hates Zhang Jing to the core."

"We only need to reveal a little bit of information, and they will pounce on it themselves and bite it hard."

Hong Zhao immediately flattered him, "Old Ancestor is very wise, I am far inferior to him!"

Hong Tianwei snorted coldly and said nothing more.

…

The Treasure Conference finally came to a very smooth conclusion.

The various auction items during this period were of high quality and value.

It is worthy of being the Baili family's treasure gathering held once every ten years.

It has indeed been a long time of preparation.

However, these auction items are worth a lot to most Jindan cultivators, but they are just that to Chu Xuan.

The only item that left a deep impression on him was the last auction item.

That's ownership of a whole new piece of land!

The Dark Domain has been growing and expanding.

The star fragments and star dust in the vast sea of ​​stars will gradually move closer to the dark area and form a new area.

The characteristics of these new lands are that the spiritual energy is not strong enough, but the resources are extremely rich.

Although the Baili family is the overlord of the Northern Continent, it is not easy for them to take over all the new land.

We still have to give some soup and water to other families.

Otherwise, if the oppression is too strong, it will force people to the south and to the opposite side.

At the Treasure Fair held every ten years, new land is rarely put up for auction.

The new land offered by the Baili family this time really shocked the thirty-five aristocratic families.

As soon as the new land came out, it triggered a scramble among all the families.

In the end, the new land was acquired by the Ye family at the price of 8.92 million great spirit stones.

Such an astronomical figure really made all the monks feel shocked and opened their eyes.

This made the monks sincerely respect the Baili family.

After all, the Baili family has auctioned such new land more than ten times.

Even the Ye family has such a foundation.

As the overlord of the Northern Continent, isn't the Baili family even more unfathomable?

Outside the valley.

Chu Xuan and others boarded the Cloud Turtle one after another.

The Treasure Conference has come to an end, and it is time to leave.

Henry Chu didn't like this place, and he didn't want to stay any longer.

"Given the domineering nature of the Baili family, they would never have let me down if I had rejected them that day."

"Why has there been no response for all these days?"

Chu Xuan sat cross-legged on the turtle's back, deep in thought.

He always felt strange.

"What are you thinking about, Fellow Daoist Zhang?" Gong Mingjian sat down beside him and asked with a smile.

Henry Chu shook his head, "I'm just a little uneasy."

He thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "After the third major encirclement and suppression campaign and the Qianli Gorge Battle, the Gong family is now comparable to the top three families."

He said meaningfully, "Be careful not to get caught up in the Overlord's thoughts."

Gong Mingjian seemed to understand but not quite.

Henry Chu couldn't help but shook his head.

Gong Mingjian has been immersed in cultivation since he was young and does not understand the ways of the world.

Being a supportive ancestor is fine, but when it comes to strategizing, his level is a little lacking.

At this moment, Gong Yue'e suddenly whispered, "Thank you, Zhang Gongfeng, for reminding us. We now understand the way to balance."

"Overlords always like to suppress the strong and support the weak. The top three families of today's second-class families were all third-class families that were supported in the past."

"My Gong family has seen through this past experience."

Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

It would be nice to have someone who understands the situation.

He will continue to stay in the Gong family.

Before he leaves his body, it would be best for the Gong family not to get involved in large-scale conflicts, as that would also not be in his interest.

This is exactly why he reminded me.

Gong Yue'e smiled and said to the side, "Master He, our two families are not far from each other and are heading in the same direction. How about we walk together?"

He Yunzhi and the others were about to board the ship when they saw this and smiled, "Of course."

"The current situation is turbulent, and the remnants of the Storm Society are still wreaking havoc outside. We must travel together to protect ourselves."

Gong Yue'e also smiled.

A moment later, the turtle in the clouds stood up and flew into the clouds, traveling together with the He family's ship and flying at high speed towards the Gong family's territory.

This scene made Hong Zhao, who was not far away, stunned.

no...

When did the Gong family get involved with the He family?

How come I don't know?

If they suddenly travel together, they will be beyond the ability of the current people of the Kuangfeng Society to defeat them.

Hong Zhao quickly reported this information to Hong Tianwei, "Old Ancestor, what do you think?"

Hong Tianwei was resting with his eyes closed, and frowned when he heard this.

"The Gong and He families suddenly traveled together. Could it be that they had anticipated this?"

"That shouldn't be the case. How could they have predicted this? Did the news leak out?"

Hong Zhao shook his head firmly, "Impossible, the plan for that day was only decided by the ancestor and me."

"The Kuangfeng Society hates Zhang Jing to the core, so how could they let the news leak out?"

Hong Tianwei frowned deeply, and after a while he said, "Tell the Kuangfeng Club that the plan is on hold."

"The old man from the He family is very powerful. The few people from the Kuangfeng Society alone cannot suppress him completely."

Hong Zhao nodded in understanding.

This kind of interception, if it cannot form an absolute crushing and kill the enemy immediately, will only delay the time.

If things get out of hand, it will be extremely disadvantageous to them.

…

Ten days later.

The Gong family arrived at the palace safely.

The He family's ship continued to move forward.

Chu Xuan looked in the direction of the He family's building ship and suddenly said, "The He family's ancestor who transformed into a god seems to be very powerful."

Gong Yue'e nodded. "The He family was once one of the top three families, but due to bad luck, they fell into decline and became one of the bottom three families."

"The He family's ancestor who had reached the level of a spirit transformation was a truly formidable warrior. During the Qianli Gorge battle, he single-handedly fought against three demon cultivators of the same realm, killing two and severely wounding one! Even the Baili family's ancestor who had reached the level of a body transformation was amazed."

"The relationship between our Gong family and the He family has always been good."

Only then did Henry Chu nod.

No wonder Gong Yue'e said she wanted to go with the He family.

Gong Hai chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, come on, I'll take you back to Yancheng."

The two of them and Du'e and the other two walked onto the Turtle in the Cloud and continued towards Yancheng.

Gong Mingjian looked at Chu Xuan's departing back and said with emotion, "Our Zhang Gongsheng is quite powerful and his wisdom is also outstanding."

"If you hadn't explained his reminder to me just now, I would still be confused."

Gong Yue'e said calmly, "Ancestor Mingjian has devoted himself to cultivation for the sake of his family. It's normal for him not to care about trivial matters and not understand these social customs."

Gong Mingjian sighed softly, "At first, I thought that the contract you signed with Zhang Jing was damaging the interests of the family."

"Thinking about it now, I'm really ashamed of myself back then."

Gong Yue'e didn't say anything else.

She also admired her own decision that day.

Sometimes she wondered if she could still remain firm in her belief and invite Zhang Jing to become the Gong family's worshiper if she had the chance to do it again.

…

Yancheng.

After Gong Hai sent Chu Xuan and the other three away, he took a few sips of the dome nectar before leaving with satisfaction.

Du'e and the other two bowed and returned to the cave that Chu Xuan had arranged for them to continue their cultivation.

In Chang'an Pavilion.

Not long after Chu Xuan sat down, Li Yin came rushing over to report on the results of his work over the past few days.

Chu Xuan was very satisfied with what he heard.

During the time he was away, Li Yin handled the affairs of Yancheng very well.

This monk, who looks a bit ugly, is actually smart and capable.

Li Yin thought for a moment and then said, "Oh right, Master, of the three kinds of lotuses you asked me to keep an eye on, I've already found two of them."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Really?"

At the beginning, Du'e gave him the unique "Soul-Restoring Sutra" in order to let him use the red lotus fire to help him overcome difficulties and achieve the state of transformation into a god.

That "Soul-Restoring Sutra" is actually the precious "Secret Method of Separating the Sea of ​​Bitterness".

Chu Xuan is now at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and will soon break through to the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Therefore, he began to collect various treasures in advance to practice the "Secret Method of the Sea of ​​Bitterness".

This secret method is similar to the "Three-Turn Infant Transformation Secret Method" he practiced back then, and it also uses the characteristics of external objects to separate the primordial spirit.

This will be beneficial for leaving the body in the future.

However, the "Secret Method of Three-Turn Infant Transformation" relies on a poisonous insect called Ghost Shadow.

The Secret Method of Separating the Sea of ​​Bitterness relies on natural treasures such as the gilded lotus.

It is said that in the ancient golden age, there was a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth called the golden lotus growing in the sea of ​​suffering.

Such strange phenomena in heaven and earth cannot be triggered by ordinary people.

Instead, it will only appear at the moment when the great being who has transcended the tribulation ascends to heaven and soars into the fairyland.

Every time such a vision appears, a golden lotus from the sea of ​​suffering will be born.

Such treasures have gone beyond the scope of spiritual objects and can even be called immortal objects!

As long as you get it, you can reshape your spiritual roots and spiritual body, change your fleshy body into an immortal body, and change your mortal bones into immortal bones!

It can be said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage!

Of course, such magical objects are far beyond the reach of a cultivator who has reached the Divine Transformation stage.

All that is needed for the Secret Method of Separating the Sea of ​​Bitterness is a gilded lotus imbued with the aura of the Golden Lotus of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The gilded lotus is the method that the senior masters of Wuxiang Dragon Temple came up with after many experiments.

Search for three kinds of lotus spiritual objects, combine with the general trend of heaven and earth, and there is a 10% to 20% chance of attracting the energy of the bitter sea golden lotus floating between heaven and earth, and giving birth to a lotus shining with golden light!

Wuxianglong Temple named it "Gilded Lotus".

Those three lotus spiritual objects are extremely difficult to find.

The medicinal power of the gilded lotus that was produced was not much improved compared to them.

Moreover, the gilded lotus is only applicable to the "Secret Method of Dividing the Sea of ​​Bitterness".

Because of this, very few people know about this spiritual creature.

If Chu Xuan had not obtained this mysterious method, he would probably have never known that there were spiritual objects in the world that were created using this method.

Li Yin said respectfully, "Seriously! How dare I be careless about what the Master has instructed me to do?"

"Also, we followed your instructions and searched privately without going through the Gong family's channels."

Henry Chu nodded with satisfaction, "Which two did you get?"

Li Yin took out a jade box from his storage bag and presented it respectfully, "I have the Lotus of Compassion and the Lotus of Mother Earth."

"The Compassion Lotus is cheap, so I bought it directly for you."

"As for the Mother Earth Lotus, it is guarded by a Spiritual Transformation Stage demon beast, so you will need to come in person."

Chu Xuan swept his spiritual sense and saw a pure white lotus floating above the water.

The medicinal power was perfectly locked in the jade box without any loss.

Li Yin sighed softly, "Except for the Ghost Face Lotus, I'm incompetent and still have no clue."

Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "You have already made some achievements, very good."

"Ghost Face Lotus, I will find a solution myself."

Li Yin nodded and presented a piece of paper. "This is the location of the Mother Earth Lotus. It's in a cave at the junction of the Gong and Hong families."

"There's a Black Immortal Python lurking there. It's very likely that it's already reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

"It also has a large number of snake offspring, ranging from the Nascent Soul stage to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"It has almost become their nest."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "It is said that the Hong family's ancestor, Hong Tianwei, once wanted to kill the Black Immortal Python to obtain its gallbladder to make medicine, but he suffered a great loss at its hands. It was only with the help of his friends that he was able to escape from the cave. Master, you must be careful."

Chu Xuan nodded lightly.

Even though this Black Immortal Python has already stepped into the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it is still just a small snake in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yin respectfully took his leave.

Chu Xuan returned to the cave world in a flash.

The Compassion Lotus and the Mother Earth Lotus are both normal spiritual creatures that are born and raised naturally.

Only the ghost-faced lotus is extremely unique.

It can only be born in a battlefield where more than one million lives have died.

Moreover, the life level of these creatures cannot be too low.

However, the ghost-faced lotus is not a dirty thing.

The ghost-faced lotus was born in filth and dirt, but it is clear and holy.

It has the meaning of being untainted by the mud.

It's normal that Li Yin can't find the ghost-faced lotus.

"If you can't find it, then make it yourself."

Chu Xuan's mind moved, and Chenxi understood what he meant. He immediately turned the direction of the insect swarm and killed the remaining queen insect forces.

Chenxi has been implementing Chu Xuan's orders, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and focusing on sustainable development.

Therefore, many queens escaped the hunting of the insect swarm alive, fled to the edge of the cave world, and continued to grow.

They thought they were lucky to have escaped.

In fact, Chenxi deliberately let them go and killed them after fattening them up.

Now that the owner needs it, let's slaughter it in advance.

Chu Xuan stood on top of the giant insect with his hands behind his back.

With a low roar in the morning light, the solid rock wall was quickly breached.

The swarm of insects rushed into the small cave, causing a bloody storm.

There were broken limbs and bodies everywhere.

Blood soaked the cave ground.

Chu Xuan had no mercy on these evil insects.

He had originally thought of taming the purple mother insect and using it for his own purposes.

As a result, after appearing, the purple mother insect not only refused to surrender, but also wanted to kill him.

He knew then that in the eyes of all the queen insects in the cave world, people like him were called "insect people."

It is the most inferior existence in the entire cave world.

They can beat, kill and torture people at will.

Therefore, he had nothing to say to these queen insects and demon insects.

Their biggest role is to act as experience packs to continue to hone the combat effectiveness of the Dawn Swarm.

In a short while, all the demon insects in the small cave were killed.

Chenxi commanded the poisonous insects to open up a clean piece of land.

Chu Xuan then began to set up the formation slowly.

One day later, the formation was set up.

He threw a handful of compassion lotus seeds into the center of the formation.

The ghost-faced lotus is the result of the Compassionate Lotus absorbing a large amount of Yin and death energy and mutating into something else.

Chu Xuan activated the formation.

A vast amount of yin energy immediately gathered from the remains of the dead demon insects.

He looked at the rising dark energy in the sky and said, "At this rate, it will probably take more than ten years to recover."

"Let's wait for now."

…

Hokuriku.

The junction of Gong family and Hong family.

In the cave.

Henry Chu walked all the way without stopping at all.

Xiaohu led four big corpse kings to surround him, forming a Yinfeng Wolf Formation.

He didn't need to take any action at all, all the snakes and pythons were killed.

When Chu Xuan arrived in front of the Black Immortal Python, there were snake corpses everywhere.

"Hiss…hiss!"

The Black Immortal Python's eyes were wide open with anger, and it wished it could eat the demon cultivator in front of it alive.

There had been Divine Transformation cultivators who had attacked the snake's nest before, but they were easily defeated and almost died there.

Since then, it has become more and more bold, and from time to time it leads its snake descendants to harass human cities to satisfy its hunger.

The nearby Gong family and Hong family were unable to do anything about it.

It never imagined that such a situation would occur!

"I thought there would be an accident."

"I overestimated you after all."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

Xiaohu roared angrily, and the blood of the five big corpse kings boiled up, forming a ferocious and terrifying Yinfeng Wolf, which rushed forward fiercely.

A wolf and a python were fighting in close combat in this cave.

The upside-down Zhongru stone here is extremely hard and cannot be easily broken by even a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Now they are easily broken.

The deafening roar did not last long.

The Black Immortal Python howled and fell in a pool of blood.

It wants to beg for mercy.

Xiaohu's fist smashed into its head and dug out a demon beast's inner core.

Chu Xuan waved his hand, "Don't waste the blood and flesh, they are all very nutritious. Take it back and eat it slowly."

"Yes!" Xiaohu nodded.

Chu Xuan strode towards the center of the cave.

There is a clear spring here.

In the center of the spring is the Mother Earth Lotus.

The Black Immortal Python was once just a Yuanying stage python with mixed bloodline.

It is precisely because of the continuous absorption of the earth energy from the Mother Earth Lotus that gathers once every hundred years that it can continue to advance and enter the ranks of divine monsters.

He can also defeat a mid-stage Jindan cultivator like Hong Tianwei.

Chu Xuan took out the jade scissors and cut off the rhizome, then put it into the jade box. He nodded with satisfaction, "Now we have the Mother Earth Lotus."

Half a month after Chu Xuan left the cave.

Two figures fell from the clouds.

One of them is strong and sturdy, and the other is elegant and graceful.

The majestic man was none other than Hong Tianwei, one of the Hong family's ancestors who had achieved the state of becoming a god.

The elegant man is Dong Yuhua, the deity worshipped by the Xiao family.

Dong Yuhua smiled and said, "Brother Tianwei, after so many years, are you willing to return to this sad place again?"

Hong Tianwei snorted coldly, "I was defeated by that beast because I was careless and fell into its trap."

"This time I asked Baili Danqing to refine a special poison-removing pill, and you will be there to assist."

"Killing that beast will be easy!"

Dong Yuhua smiled, "Brother Tianwei, I owe you a favor, so I can help you."

"However, even brothers must settle accounts. Let me state this upfront: the skin and venom of this Black Immortal Python, as well as the earth vein crystals condensed from the Mother Earth Lotus, all belong to me."

Hong Tianwei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, all I want is the snake gallbladder and the deepest Mother Earth Lotus."

"There is no conflict of interest between us."

The two smiled at each other and strode into the cave.

However, as I walked deeper, I immediately felt something was wrong.

Isn't this place used as a nest by the Black Fairy Python's offspring?

Why is there no trace of any snake or python?

This is unreasonable.

Hong Tianwei was filled with doubt and uncertainty, "Fellow Daoist Dong, could it be that the beast has set a trap for us?"

"Is it a strategy to lure the enemy deeper into our territory?"

"Your spiritual sense is stronger than mine, unfold it and see."

Dong Yuhua nodded and carefully expanded his spiritual sense.

After he took a look at the situation inside the cave, he was shocked.

Hong Tianwei frowned when he saw his expression, "What's wrong?"

Dong Yuhua frowned deeply, "No more."

"What's gone?" Hong Tianwei asked anxiously.

"They're all gone," Dong Yuhua murmured. "The python is gone, the black fairy python is gone, and the Mother Earth Lotus is gone."

"Ah?!" Hong Tianwei was anxious and rushed directly into the cave.

Dong Yuhua also hurriedly followed.

After a moment, the two looked at the empty cave with their eyes wide open, unable to speak for a long time.

This cave is full of traces of battle.

A lot of the rock walls were broken.

But there was no corpse left.

Even the corpses of the snake's descendants were cleaned up.

After a while, Hong Tianwei clenched his fists and growled, "How is it possible... How is it possible..."

"That Black Immortal Python has already stepped into the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and its venom is even more terrifying. It attacked me when I was off guard and nearly seriously injured me...!"

"It can't just die like that!"

Dong Yuhua sighed, "It seems someone got there first..."

"After killing the Black Immortal Python, he also collected all the corpses of the monsters. It seems that he won easily. He must be a master in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

"Brother Tianwei, isn't this the dividing line between your Hong family and the Gong family? Could it be that the Gong family has a late-stage Spiritualization expert?"

Several figures appeared in Hong Tianwei's mind, and finally stopped at one person.

Zhang Jing!

His expression suddenly changed.

My thoughts changed several times.

"It's very likely Zhang Jing."

"It seems that I greatly underestimated his strength."

"All previous plans have to be scrapped and started over..."

"Damn… When did this guy enter the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation?!"

Dong Yuhua called out in a low voice, "Brother Tianwei, Brother Tianwei?"

Hong Tianwei seemed to have just woken up from a dream, "Oh, what's wrong?"

Dong Yuhua coughed lightly and said, "I came all the way here, I can't come here in vain."

Hong Tianwei's face was grim, and he could only sigh in the end, "Go back to the Hong family and pick whatever you want."

He and Dong Yuhua did not have a life-and-death friendship.

The other party got nothing this time, so he naturally feels unbalanced.

He had to make up for it.

Just consider it as Dong Yuhua's appearance fee.

Hong Tianwei murmured, "But that Zhang Jing..."

"Do we really want to continue to be his enemy? Would it be a terrible mistake to obey the Baili family's orders?"

…

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

For some reason, Hokuriku is particularly stable.

The storm will die down.

The various families also put aside their conflicts.

There is a harmonious and friendly atmosphere everywhere.

Even some expected conflicts failed to break out.

It's really unexpected for some people.

Yancheng.

There was a knock on the gate of Chang'an Pavilion.

Li Yin's voice came from outside.

"Real person!"

"Gong Cheng sent some things, and Master Ming Jian said you can choose first!"

After a while, Henry Chu pushed the door open and walked out.

Li Yin then recounted the situation respectfully.

Chu Xuan was quite surprised. "Oh? Something given by the Baili family?"

Li Yin nodded, "Yes, it is said that the Baili family seized it from a Divine Transformation Elder of the Blood Wing Sect during the last Qianli Gorge Battle."

"These things seem very interesting."

"The Baili family gave some to each family."

"The Gong family also has it."

"Master Mingjian sent someone to Yancheng first, saying that you can choose first."

Chu Xuan smiled.

This Gong Mingjian is becoming more and more sensible.

He nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."

A moment later, Chu Xuan saw those things in the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he saw it, he was shocked.

These crystals are more than one meter tall and amber in color.

Wasn't it the amber crystal that he found in Zheng Ye's Qiankun bag after he killed him?

He thought to himself, "So that's how it is... These crystals are native to the Southern Continent! No wonder I've never seen them in the Northern Continent, not even at the Treasure Fair."

The one who escorted these amber crystals was Gong Chen.

Gong Chen is now full of awe for Chu Xuan.

Seeing Henry Chu approaching, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master Zhang!"

"There are sixteen amber crystals here. You can pick four first."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

He walked in front of these amber crystals one by one.

Um.

I can't see anything.

They are indeed like the amber crystals before, and have a very strong shielding effect on spiritual consciousness.

Chu Xuan thought to himself, "It doesn't matter if I can't see what's inside. I'll pick up whatever I want. If there's a treasure inside, it will be my good fortune."

"If there is no treasure... humph."

He waved his hand and casually pointed at four amber crystals. "Let's take these four and move them to Chang'an Pavilion."

"Yes." Li Yin nodded.

Gong Chen bowed to Chu Xuan again and said, "Then I will escort the rest back to the palace. I respectfully bid farewell to Master Zhang!"

A moment later.

Chu Xuan looked at the four amber crystals in front of him, and without saying a word, he took out the Frost Sky Ring and smashed them.

Boom boom boom!

The first amber crystal is empty.

Second amber crystal, empty.

The third amber crystal, empty!

Henry Chu frowned, "Merit misleads me!"

He stomped his foot hard, smashing the fourth amber crystal.

"Hmm? Something?"

The amber shattered.

There was a piece of white jade among them.

This white jade is pure and flawless, with many ancient and complex patterns on its surface.

You can tell it's a treasure at first glance.

Henry Chu was just about to pick it up and play with it carefully.

A small head suddenly popped out from the white jade.

A pair of clear little eyes met Chu Xuan's.

Both the man and the beast were a little frightened.

Henry Chu frowned, "White Jade...Turtle?!"

Before Chu Xuan could say anything, the white jade turtle suddenly turned over and flew straight out as if it was launched.

There was only a thud.

A big hole was blown out in the beam of the house.

If Chu Xuan had not been quick-eyed and quick-handed, he would have immediately used his spiritual power to activate the formation.

I'm afraid the white jade turtle will blast through Chang'an Pavilion on the spot and fly out.

Boom boom boom!

The white jade turtle kept rushing left and right within the formation.

The formation began to shake.

Chu Xuan's eyelids twitched wildly.

What kind of strange power is this?

The Spirit Transformation Stage formation was actually knocked to the point of being on the verge of collapse.

After a while, the white jade turtle fell to the ground in a daze.

Apparently he knocked himself unconscious.

Henry Chu stretched out his hand, picked it up, and put it on the table.

He poked the white jade turtle and asked, "Little guy, what are you?"

But he had just extended his finger.

The little guy suddenly bit me.

A mouthful of roar.

She bit Henry Chu's fingers tightly!

Blood also seeped out.

The long-lost pain suddenly came over me.

Chu Xuan was not surprised but happy.

What a strong force!

With his body having reached the fiftyth level of physical refinement, he rarely felt pain.

The white jade turtle bit hard and actually broke through his skin!

It further proves its extraordinaryness.

The man and the turtle were in a stalemate for a long time.

Staring at each other.

Finally, the white jade turtle withdrew its mouth in disappointment.

He obviously knew that he could not threaten the person in front of him.

Henry Chu wiped it lightly, and the broken finger quickly recovered.

He said casually, "Tell me, what exactly are you? Why are you in this amber crystal?"

The white jade turtle stared with its small black eyes, as if thinking.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't find the answer.

In the end, he could only lower his head in dejection.

Henry Chu couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Well, another one with amnesia."

He then asked a few more questions.

The white jade turtle could only stare blankly.

Chu Xuan rubbed his chin and asked curiously, "You are quite intelligent, so why can't you speak human language?"

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he found a big vat and threw the white jade turtle into it.

The large vat is also sealed with layers of formations.

Make sure this white jade turtle cannot be broken.

As for bringing in the All-Heaven Mirror...

Absolutely not.

If such an intelligent creature did not recognize its master, he would not bring it into the Mirror of the Heavens.

The world connected by the Mirror of the Heavens is his back garden.

There is absolutely no room for error.

…

"It's still more comfortable to stay in the cave world."

Chu Xuan sat cross-legged on the back of the giant insect, moving forward in the cave world with the insect swarm, his body and mind extremely relaxed.

Now my realm has not improved at all.

So he often came to the cave world to relax his body and mind.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to improve your realm, which will lead to continuous fluctuations in your mood and you will fall into an even more troublesome vicious cycle.

In addition, he actually wanted to figure out why the psychic cube in the cave world was imprisoned by those tentacles.

The psychic blocks on Aquamarine Star and Soul Star all came from outside the star.

As for the psychic cube from Giant Star, he has not yet obtained it, but it is very likely to have come from outside the star.

But this cave world... doesn't even have a sky.

How does the Psychic Cube get into this place?

Chu Xuan lay on his back, crossed his hands under his head, looked at the unchanging dome, and his mind was full of thoughts.

At this moment, Chenxi suddenly flew to his side and began to hum.

When Chu Xuan stood up, he found several giant insects flying towards him carrying a huge stone slab.

These giant insects flipped the stone slab, and the simple mural came into his sight.

Chu Xuan stroked his chin, thinking.

This mural may seem crude and simple, but it actually depicts a complete picture.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, a group of alien visitors met a giant star insect.

The giant insect was covered with wounds and asked for help from the aliens.

A small group of alien visitors took the azure crystal and passed through the giant insect's mouth and entered its body.

The remaining alien visitors continued to move towards the depths of the starry sea.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly, then suddenly realized, "The cave world... is actually inside the body of a giant insect?"

"No wonder there's no sky and no underground!"

"In that case, everything can be confirmed!"

He was greatly surprised.

But I feel it is reasonable.

Henry Chu was pleasantly surprised. "Chenxi, well done! Where did you find these murals?"

Chenxi's face turned slightly red from being praised. After a while, she stretched out her little paw and pointed into the distance, gesturing for a long time.

Chu Xuan roughly understood it.

A swarm of insects was hunting outside and accidentally discovered an ancient ruin.

Judging from the appearance of the ruins, they were not left behind by evil insects, but by "insect people".

The swarm of insects searched through it and finally found the mural in an underground cave.

Then it was immediately sent to him.

"No wonder I always feel that the rocks here are like stone but not stone, like wood but not wood."

"It turns out to be hardened flesh and blood."

Chu Xuan sighed.

"It seems that those tentacles are not demonic insects at all, but the physical instincts of the giant insect!"

"The Psychic Cube releases a constant flow of psychic energy, which can proliferate flesh and blood, and is beneficial to the giant insect! That's why it imprisons the Psychic Cube and prevents any living creature from approaching."

Chu Xuan felt as if he had suddenly become enlightened.

No matter how he thought about it, he could never imagine that the nature of the cave world was like this.

"The so-called insect people are probably the descendants of those alien visitors."

"Then, what is the true nature of those queen insects and demon insects?"

Henry Chu reacted quickly, "Could it be… a parasite?"

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this idea was reasonable.

When he first appeared before the Purple Mother Worm, the Purple Mother Worm said that he was a worm man, a lowly scum and an evil obstacle.

Now that I think about it, the aliens came into the giant insect's body in order to heal it.

The giant insect's injuries might have been caused by parasites in its body.

The two sides are inherently hostile.

It is perfectly normal for the Purple Mother Worm to call the extraterrestrial visitors "worm people" and compare them to scum and evildoers.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to Henry Chu's mind.

Can the flesh and blood of this giant insect be multiplied through the psychic cube?

The body of this insect is vast and there are so many evil insects parasitic inside.

Its life level should be far above that of a demon beast in the Spirit Transformation Stage, right?

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the insect swarm under Chenxi to mine the "rock wall".

After a while, the swarm of insects brought a rock wall that was one person high.

This rock wall is the rock wall between caves, not the rock wall at the edge of the cave world.

So it is much easier to mine.

Chu Xuan flashed and returned to the Aquamarine Star.

He stuffed the psychic cube into this piece of "hard meat".

After a long while, just when Chu Xuan was about to lose his patience, the piece of hard meat finally began to grow.

"It really works!"

Henry Chu clenched his fist suddenly.

Judging from the slow rate of its proliferation, it is obvious that the giant insect's life level is far beyond that of a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage.

It is very likely that it has reached the level of a demon beast in the out-of-body stage!

"In this way, there is hope for reaching the fifty-first level of physical refinement!"

Chu Xuan paced back and forth in the cave, extremely happy.

If he wants to break out of his body now, he still has to wait for a long time.

First, you have to wait for the ghost-faced lotus to mature.

Converted into the time of the immortal cultivation world, it would take about two years.

Secondly, secret methods must be used to refine the Compassion Lotus, Mother Earth Lotus, and Ghost Face Lotus into gilded lotus.

This is also a time-consuming and laborious task.

Finally, you have to practice the "Secret Method of Dividing the Sea of ​​Bitterness".

Although practicing this method is not like practicing a martial art, which is divided into three, six, or nine levels, it still takes time.

So, although everything that can impact the out-of-body experience is ready.

But if you want to truly enter the out-of-body state, it is impossible without more than ten years.

Every time before, he would first improve his physical training level, and then assist in the Qi training level to ensure his own safety.

This time he participated in the treasure conference, and he also wanted to collect the flesh and blood of the out-of-body stage monsters.

However, almost all the demon beasts that have reached the state of perfect transformation in Beilu are under the surveillance of the Baili family.

Once there is a tendency to leave the body, it will be quickly killed. Otherwise, once it leaves the body, it will definitely harm everyone.

Naturally, there are no materials about demon beasts in the out-of-body stage.

Even if there are any, they are hidden by the Baili family and cannot be put up for auction.

He is having a headache about this.

I was originally thinking about whether to send people to the outside of the Dark Realm to purchase the flesh and blood of the out-of-body stage monsters.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity presented itself.

Really sensible.

Thinking of this, he immediately cut off a piece of giant insect flesh and blood, intending to refine it.

It turns out that the life level of this giant insect is indeed very high.

He used the middle-grade spiritual weapon White Dragon to cut, but he cut very slowly.

"It seems that its skin is very resistant to being cut by blades."

Chu Xuan was lost in thought, and suddenly the movements of the poisonous insects digging at the rock wall appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, he immediately caught a poisonous insect from the cave world.

This kind of poisonous insect has a swollen abdomen that stores dark green liquid.

They are the new poisonous insects that Chenxi transformed by absorbing the characteristics of the demon insects.

The liquid sprayed from the mouth can soften the rock wall, allowing it to kill its way into the small caves where the queen insects are hiding.

As expected.

Chu Xuan smeared some dark green liquid on the surface of the white dragon, making it much easier to cut.

He took a bite and immediately felt his good teeth were a little sour.

"So hard..."

He shook his head, but did not stand there at a loss. Instead, he immediately took out a big pot and poured spiritual liquid into it.

What's the harm if the meat is old?

Just make the meat soup!

Two full days later.

This palm-sized piece of meat was boiled into a pot of broth.

Chu Xuan scooped a bowl, took a sip, and nodded slightly.

Facts have proved that although the meat of the giant insect is sour, dry and hard, it can be a delicacy as long as it is seasoned enough.

As for whether eating insect meat will cause physical disgust?

Henry Chu never minded these things.

I have eaten fried silkworm pupae and fried cicadas before.

Instead, it tastes like chicken and is crispy.

What's more, the flesh of this giant insect can actually strengthen his body.

Then there is even less reason to refuse.

…

A few days later.

Chang'an Pavilion, under the peach tree.

Chu Xuan held the alchemy book in one hand and the broth in the other, savoring them carefully.

As I was flipping through the pages, I suddenly felt someone's eyes on me.

He followed his gaze and saw the little turtle lying on the edge of the vat, looking at the broth in his hand.

Crystal clear saliva actually flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Henry Chu chuckled, "It's actually drawn."

Then he threw a piece of meat over and said, "Eat it if you want."

"You've been sealed in the amber crystal for who knows how long. You must be greedy."

The piece of meat fell into the formation.

The white jade turtle took off with a swift kick and swallowed the piece of meat accurately.

After taking a bite, its pair of small black eyes immediately widened and it actually drooled even more.

Henry Chu smiled slightly, "Of course it's okay if you want to continue eating, but you have to prove your worth."

"I never keep any freeloaders here."

The flesh of the giant insect contains a lot of energy and blood, and even the psychic blocks take a lot of time to multiply.

This thing must be provided to myself first, and it is impossible to throw it to the little turtle to eat.

Of course he can keep a small pet for fun when he has nothing to do.

But it also depends on whether the other party is worth training.

And whether you live long enough.

What if you develop feelings for him while raising him, and then one day his lifespan ends, and he kicks his legs and flips his belly upside down...

Dead!

Wouldn't that be a waste of emotion?

The white jade turtle opened its small black eyes, seeming to understand but not quite.

After a long while, it finally spit out a white jade bead.

It seems to be saying that it wants to exchange this thing for food.

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, stood up, took the white jade bead, and looked at it carefully.

He injected spiritual power, energy and blood into it one after another, but could not feel any reaction at all.

He probed his spiritual sense into it again, but couldn't feel anything.

He shook his head repeatedly, "This bead is really weird..."

But after thinking about it, he still put it on his body.

The white jade turtle has an extraordinary origin.

Just carry this white jade bead with you, maybe it will be of use to you someday.

…

Dark Domain, East Continent.

Most of the East Continent is shrouded in primeval forests.

There were roars of tigers and howls of monkeys everywhere.

The roars of ferocious beasts were endless.

It is said that there are many ancient species in the depths of the East Land, with extremely pure bloodlines.

A figure suddenly appeared, scaring away the nearby monsters.

This person has messy hair and greasy clothes.

At first glance, he looks like a beggar.

He's still the kind of beggar who hasn't taken a bath in decades.

But beneath his messy hair, there was a pair of bright eyes.

He is Luo Zu.

During this period of time, he has walked the same route that Zangtian took.

Now we have arrived at the last location.

It is the eastern land of the dark realm.

Luo Zu looked around and frowned slightly, "Is this the Dark Realm? It looks familiar."

"The mountains and rivers here seem to have deliberately divided the Dark Territory into three continents."

"These familiar feelings should be brought by Zangtian's lingering regret."

"Hmm... so where is the thing Zangtian left for me?"

Luo Zuling stepped into the air and flew at a low altitude.

As he moved forward, he revealed his aura unscrupulously.

He was able to swallow up Tang Zhengan, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, before, so his aura now is equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul stage monster beast.

Wherever it passed, the monsters were frightened and crawled on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

After a while, Luo Zu stopped at the foot of the highest peak in Donglu.

He followed his instinct and soon found a hidden cave.

At the bottom of the cave stands a black dragon statue.

The black dragon bared its fangs and claws, looking violent and ferocious.

The only flaw is that one of its four claws is missing, leaving only three.

The moment I saw the black dragon statue, more memories emerged from the depths of my mind.

Luo Zu frowned deeply and stroked the dragon head gently.

Threads of black air also flowed into Luo Zu's body from inside the statue.

After a long time, two lines of tears flowed from Luo Zu's eyes.

"Why am I crying?"

"It seems...it seems that this black dragon died in order to protect me..."

Luo Zu stared at the dragon head for a long time.

This faucet is both familiar and unfamiliar.

He knew that the black dragon must have always been by his side.

Strong strength and deep feelings.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have burst into tears without any warning.

After a while, Luo Zu took a deep breath and calmed down.

"The black dragon should have four claws, but now it only has three, and there are no claw marks anywhere."

"There are no footprints of ferocious beasts nearby..."

He thought carefully and frowned, "Could it be that a cultivator accidentally came here and took away a dragon claw?"

Luo Zu raised his head and looked to the west.

That is the North Land and the South Land.

"I didn't want to get involved."

"But I never liked thieves."

"However, since I have come to the Dark Territory this time, there must be cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance following me..."

"That's perfect, let's eat them all together!"

"We will hold our ground for now and wait for him to show himself."

Luo Zu dodged and flew towards the southern land.

After he left, the black dragon statue here turned into dust without any warning.

The monsters in the East Land, no matter what they were doing at the moment, suddenly raised their heads.

It seemed as if something strange had awakened within them.

Outside the dark realm, in the sea of ​​stars.

Two figures stood in the air, emitting an unapproachable and powerful aura.

Even if cultivators of lower realms approach them, they will be crushed into pieces by this aura.

One of them was none other than Song Lingcai, the ancestor of Lianxu from the Sea God Island.

But Song Lingcai did not stand side by side with the man in white robe beside him, but took half a step back.

This shows the difference in status between the two.

Song Lingcai said in a deep voice, "Did Fellow Daoist Bai really capture the aura of the Fallen Ancestor's clone near the Dark Domain?"

The white-robed man nodded calmly, "My Kunlun Sword Sect has a secret method to track the aura of fallen cultivators."

"The aura of the fallen cultivators in the Dark Territory not long ago was not very strong, only scattered."

"Now it's surging like ink."

"It must be the Fallen Ancestor's clone who came here."

Song Lingcai pondered, "The Fallen Ancestor's clones have appeared in many places continuously, but there is no pattern."

"Many times they didn't even take anything away, they just destroyed everything."

The white-robed man said calmly, "Every one of the Fallen Ancestor's clones is trying to save themselves, and this one is no exception."

"Killing each clone of the Fallen Ancestor means there is one less. This is already the eighth one."

"You don't need to know his intentions. Just kill him and everything will be over."

"This eighth clone isn't the most powerful, nor is it the smartest. The ninth clone, who calls himself 'Immortal Destroyer' and is still wreaking havoc on Xuling Mountain, is the real troublemaker."

Song Lingcai understood and nodded, "It is our duty to kill the fallen cultivators. However, the last time the fallen ancestor attacked, he swallowed Tang Zhengan right in front of me and severely injured me..."

The man in white robe flipped his hand and a small bronze sword appeared in his palm.

"This treasure is called the Void-Breaking Sword. It was forged by our Kunlun Sword School using secret techniques. It is naturally the nemesis of fallen cultivators."

"With it, you can also suppress the eighth incarnation of the Fallen Ancestor."

Song Lingcai took the small bronze sword and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Bai, will you join me in killing the Fallen Ancestor's clone?"

"If we work together, we will definitely be able to kill the Fallen Ancestor's clone and not give him any chance."

"But if I were alone..."

He didn't say anything else.

But the meaning of the words is beyond words.

The white-robed man said calmly, "Don't worry. With this Void-Breaking Sword, all Fallen Cultivation Techniques will be suppressed by more than 70% of their power. The Eighth Avatar is no match for you."

He pointed to the western sea of ​​stars, "As for me, my master called me over."

Song Lingcai's heart trembled.

The master of this fellow Bai Daoyou is the young and famous Douzhan Tianjun of the Kunlun Sword Sect.

He once made unprecedented contributions in Xuling Mountain.

He was guarding Xu Ling Mountain in the past, and had heard a little about the glorious military exploits of Lord Dou Zhan.

The Heavenly Lord must have something important to tell him, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Anyway, I already have this small bronze sword, so it will be easy to deal with the clone of the Fallen Ancestor.

Song Lingcai bowed and fell into the dark realm to search for the whereabouts of the eighth incarnation of the Fallen Ancestor.

The man in white robe watched Song Lingcai's back as he walked away, then flew towards the western starry sea.

"Alas...it seems that Master's hatred for the Wuxiang Dragon Temple has only intensified after Yuanjue's interference last time."

"I don't know which bald donkey from the Wuxiang Dragon Temple I'm going to fight this time..."

…

Xiao family's deity worshipper Dong Yuhua flew into the air and arrived at the Shiwan Mountains.

He planned to ask someone to refine some medicine, but he was still missing one ingredient.

The Xiao family searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

In the end, he had to take action himself and went to the Shiwanda Mountains to look for it.

Although the Shiwandashan Mountains are somewhat dangerous, they are rich in resources.

As long as you put in some effort, you will be able to find the herbs you need.

Moreover, he had been to the Shiwandashan Mountains several times before and accidentally discovered a natural medicinal field in a valley.

This time we are going to the natural medicinal field to get medicine.

Dong Yuhua walked through the mountains and forests with ease.

Although there is a flying ban in the Ten Thousand Mountains, as a cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm, he can move at an astonishing speed even if he just walks on two feet.

After a while, they went deep into the Shiwan Mountains and arrived near the valley.

However, as soon as he arrived here, he felt something was wrong.

Why aren't there any half-demon beasts nearby?

After hiding behind a huge rock, he expanded his spiritual sense and was immediately shocked.

There was a tiger with wings on its back lurking in the valley!

The wings are particularly impressive.

The whole body is golden, as if it is made of gold.

The tiger was taking a nap beside the spiritual spring.

But the terrifying aura was undoubtedly revealed.

A demon beast in the late stage of transformation!

It is very likely that he has already touched the perfection of spiritual transformation!

In that medicinal field, all kinds of medicinal herbs are about to mature.

But it was obvious that the winged tiger had already regarded it as its own!

Dong Yuhua murmured, "Golden-winged tiger! Such an ancient species actually appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

He is very aware of his own strength.

It is quite difficult to deal with a demon beast in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It can still resist slightly against monsters in the late stage of transformation.

This golden-winged tiger is an ancient species. If you meet it, you have no choice but to run away.

Dong Yuhua sighed, thinking that he was just unlucky, and turned to leave.

However, the golden-winged tiger suddenly opened its eyes and looked towards where Dong Yuhua was hiding.

"roar!"

It roared angrily, and a golden light suddenly spurted out of its mouth.

Dong Yuhua yelled "Oh no!" and turned around and ran away.

There was a loud bang.

The huge rock where he had been hiding, along with the nearby trees, were chopped into pieces.

The golden-winged tiger chased after him immediately.

Dong Yuhua cried out in pain and fled as fast as he could.

However, before they could escape for a while, they suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast coming from the front.

The golden-winged tiger's pursuit suddenly stopped, and it looked into the distance in surprise and confusion.

Dong Yuhua took the opportunity to dodge and hide behind a giant tree.

Roar, roar, roar!

Bang bang bang!

The two giant beasts suddenly collided with each other violently.

The rocks and trees collapsed at the touch, turning into countless stone and wood chips that shot in all directions.

Dong Yuhua took a quick glance and was immediately shocked.

The one fighting against the golden-winged tiger was a giant ape with a silver body.

There was also a circular blood spot on his chest, like the scorching sun.

"Howling Sun Ape?"

Dong Yuhua was horrified and turned around and ran away, not daring to even think of stopping.

The Howling Sun Ape, like the Golden-Winged Tiger, is also an ancient species!

These ferocious beasts have always stayed safely in the East Land, in their own territory.

Why are you suddenly coming to the Shiwan Mountains?

The news that the ancient alien species had entered the Ten Thousand Mountains quickly spread throughout the Northern Continent.

Many monks were in a panic, and some were greedy.

More people are waiting for an opportunity to act.

…

After March.

Chang'an Pavilion.

After listening to Li Yin's report, Chu Xuan frowned slightly.

"Monsters are crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains to harass the cities of Beilu?"

Li Yin nodded respectfully, "Exactly. Several such incidents have occurred in recent months, and they are becoming increasingly frequent."

"Especially this month, four Spiritual Transformation Stage demonic beasts appeared in the Northern Continent in one day."

"The cities near the Shiwan Mountains have all been ravaged by monsters, and many cultivators have already begun relocation."

"The most unlucky ones are none other than those third-rate families, whose territories are closest to the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"In addition, the new land that the Xiao family bought at the last Treasure Conference is not far from the Shiwan Mountains."

"The Xiao family's new land has no Divine Transformation cultivators guarding it, and it is said that they suffered heavy losses."

Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.

In the past, although the monsters from the East Land would occasionally cross the Ten Thousand Mountains, they were only sporadic.

And it is also because when it is full, it overflows.

Because there are too many monsters, some of them lack territory. The weaker monsters are squeezed out and forced to cross the Ten Thousand Mountains and come to the North Land.

The response of the Northern Continent families and Southern Continent sects was to frequently march into the Eastern Continent, slaying monsters and reducing their numbers.

In addition, because the East Land is sparsely populated, there are treasures left over from ancient times in many places.

That would be even more worth fighting for.

In this way, by frequently conquering monsters, the situation with monsters can be under control.

But now, something seems to be wrong.

It was as if something was driving away these monsters from the East Land.

Chu Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are there any moves from the Nanlu sects?"

Li Yin admired him and said, "Master, you are so wise. You guessed it right away."

"Nanlu must have also learned of this news and has already dispatched heavy troops to Dingbei City again."

"This time, the backbone forces of the eight sects were dispatched here at once."

He whispered, "The war may break out again."

For most monks, the outbreak of war is not a good thing.

Because you can't be sure whether you are the knife or the fish.

Moreover, those knives and chopping boards are just fish in the eyes of more powerful monks.

Henry Chu tapped the table lightly, frowning in thought.

After a while, he said, "Strengthen the security of Yancheng, especially the side close to the Shiwan Mountains."

"Recruit independent cultivators, the more the better."

"Report any movement in the South Continent to me immediately."

Li Yin nodded heavily, "I will obey the orders of the Immortal."

Chu Xuan looked at the Shiwan Mountains with a deep frown.

It took a long time for the situation to quiet down after the Treasure Conference.

I didn't expect that there would be another wave of trouble now.

"I just want to calmly refine a gilded lotus and leave my body smoothly."

"Why do I have to worry about all this for no reason?"

He sighed deeply.

A few days later, the order from the Baili family spread throughout the Northern Continent.

The noble families living near the Shiwanda Mountains must resist on the spot and must not retreat.

As for the other noble families, some of them sent reinforcements to Zhumo City to guard against sneak attacks from the demon sects in the South Continent.

A part of them recruited 100,000 people from the mountains to resist the rampaging monsters.

The Baili family's prestige was such that with one order, those third-rate families that had already started to relocate had to give up the move.

The Gong family is a second-class family and is not too close to the Ten Thousand Mountains, so the pressure is not that great.

But there is a mountain range near Yancheng that is a branch of the Shiwan Mountains.

Monsters may also take advantage of this opportunity to break into Yancheng and wreak havoc.

Even if they can't break into Yancheng, they can still disrupt the area around Yancheng.

You know, many people are actually not qualified to live in Yancheng.

They could only live in villages and towns near Yancheng.

A large part of Yancheng's industry depends on these low-level cultivators to maintain.

Once order is disrupted, the industry will stagnate.

As time goes by, the logistics naturally cannot keep up.

If you want to fight against the beast tide formed by monsters, you must be prepared for a long battle.

…

Another month passed.

Chu Xuan stood at the highest point of Yancheng, overlooking the city.

The number of people in Yancheng has increased by 70%.

The city was overcrowded.

The price of land has also increased several times.

Many cultivators at lower levels cannot afford to buy a cave, let alone rent one.

They could only survive in huts outside the city walls.

Today, there are clusters of shanties outside the city, which is in a state of chaos and full of sewage.

Some of these low-level cultivators lived in villages and towns near Yancheng, and came to Yancheng instinctively because they were afraid of monsters.

Most of the rest fled from cities further east.

At this moment, another group of wandering cultivators came from the east.

These people were dressed in tattered clothes, covered with scars, had unkempt hair and dirty faces, and had numb expressions.

It was obvious that he had been chased by a monster and had luckily escaped from its mouth.

The strongest of these people is only in the early stage of Jindan, and the lowest level is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

There were already monks from Yancheng guarding the city gate.

Seeing these wandering cultivators approaching, they were immediately stopped. Only Jindan cultivators were allowed to enter the city, and the rest were blocked outside the city.

Some people are indignant, but they dare not speak out.

Chu Xuan's expression was calm.

It was he who gave such an order.

The arrival of a large number of foreign monks has already increased the burden on Yancheng.

Low-level cultivators are of little use, so what can they do even if they enter the city?

Once the beast tide arrives, it will be a dead end.

Only cultivators at the Jindan stage and above can be considered somewhat useful. At least they can activate formations and act as human-shaped spirit stones.

In such an environment, there is not much difference between Qi-refining and foundation-building practitioners and ordinary people.

It's just fish on the chopping block.

At this time, Li Yin hurried over and said respectfully, "Master, the latest news is that Fengcheng has been captured. The Feng family has been forced to abandon their territory and is moving to other cities."

Henry Chu sighed softly.

The six third-rate families near the Shiwan Mountains did not resist the monsters for long.

Among them, four aristocratic families moved decisively, cut off their tails to survive, and preserved most of the family's fire.

As for the other two, their ancestors who had transformed into gods died in the beast tide, and only a few core members of the tribe escaped.

The inheritance has almost been broken.

The Feng family is one of the three lower-class families among the second-class aristocratic families.

The four third-class families that made a strategic shift went to the Feng family.

Unexpectedly, the Feng family now has to give up their territory.

It seems that the scale of the beast tide is larger than he imagined.

The thirty-six noble families of the Northern Continent have been passed down for at least a thousand years without interruption.

Who would have thought that one day the monsters in the East Continent would riot and wreak havoc on the North Continent? Within just a few months, so many aristocratic families would be severely damaged, and several families would lose their inheritance.

Li Yin continued, "Master, the Ye family and the main family have already sent people to Yancheng. They are estimated to arrive within three or two days."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

Yancheng's geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is one of the three important cities selected by the Baili family to resist the beast tide.

The Ye family cultivators came here to support Yancheng.

More than ten days ago, Gong Mingjian came to Yancheng in person and told him the news, and he had no objection.

Three days later.

As expected, Ye Yinling and Gong Hai arrived with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ye and Gong families.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Brother Zhang. You're still as charming as ever!" Ye Yinling bowed from afar.

Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "Come on, both of you follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to talk."

A moment later, Henry Chu knew about the Baili family's plan.

Ye Yinling said in a deep voice, "...Yancheng of the Gong family, Jincheng of the Jin family, and Fancheng of the He family are all easily defended but difficult to attack. They are also the three important cities that will resist the beast tide this time."

"If the beast tide continues westward, it will definitely pass through these three important cities."

"So, we have to interrupt their momentum right here."

After she finished speaking, she sighed, "It just so happens that the Southern Continent has also dispatched a large number of cultivators to Dingbei City. We, the Northern Continent cultivators, have no choice but to dispatch a group to Zhumo City to guard against a surprise attack from the Southern Continent."

"However, we still have three masters like Du'e in the city. Together with us, we have a total of six Divine Transformation cultivators. This is definitely more than enough to resist the beast tide."

Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.

Compared to the aimless monsters of the East Land, the cultivators of the South Land are obviously more dangerous.

It is reasonable for the Baili family to make such a decision.

Ye Yinling whispered, "Right now, we must win the battles in these three important cities. Otherwise, I believe the Southern Continent Demon Sect will definitely take action, and then the Northern Continent will be in danger."

After a discussion, the three of them dispersed and prepared for the city's defense.

Of course, most of the discussions were between Chu Xuan and Ye Yinling.

Gong Hai just stood there drinking tea and nodding in agreement.

…

On top of a high mountain.

The strange fragrance quickly spread with the strong wind.

The beast tide that was originally moving towards the northwest gradually changed direction and headed due west.

Feng Chengjue and Shu Qi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the two extremely powerful late-stage spirit transformation monsters in the beast tide, and sneered.

He said calmly, "With the scent of the strange beast, they must go due west. Due west is Yancheng."

"Guess how long those people can hold out?"

Shu Qi shook his head, "The city will fall in five days at most."

Feng Chengjue sneered, "On the day the city is broken, even if Zhang Jing doesn't die, he will be seriously injured."

"Then you will go and capture him yourself!"

Shu Qi nodded respectfully, "I will follow the leader's orders."

Feng Chengjue waved his hand and turned to leave.

Shu Qi still stood here, overlooking the terrifying tide of beasts.

The two demon beasts in the late stage of the Divine Transformation stage at the head were the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape, true ancient alien species.

With such bloodline and realm, it is no problem for one beast to defeat two cultivators.

What's more, most of the incarnation cultivators gathered in Yancheng are in the early stage of incarnation.

Even if you can rely on a large formation to hold off the enemy for a while, you can't hold them off forever.

Just as Feng Chengjue said, Yancheng will be broken.

But there was always some worry in his heart.

Zhang Jing's strength seems to be far more than what it appears on the surface.

He always thought that Zhang Jing had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Even if the city was broken and Zhang Jing was seriously injured, he might not be his opponent.

Thinking of this, Shu Qi murmured, "It seems that I can do him another favor."

…

That night.

Chu Xuan received a note.

There was very little on the note.

There was only this line of words: "The golden-winged tiger in the late stage of transformation and the howling sun ape are coming towards Yancheng."

Henry Chu looked at Li Yin, "Same as last time?"

Li Yin nodded, "Yes, the person who delivered the letter was an old Qi-refining cultivator. He committed suicide after delivering the letter without saying a word."

Henry Chu waved his hand and said, "Go back."

He rubbed the paper gently and it turned into ashes.

"You did me a favor last time, and you're doing me another favor this time."

"It seems that he is afraid of my strength."

"However, the content on this note is interesting."

He rubbed his chin, thoughtfully, "The Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape have both reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm... Logically, such powerful monsters wouldn't appear in a large beast tide at the same time."

"Someone must have deliberately guided her."

"There's no strange fragrance in the North Continent that can guide these monsters, but it's said that there's a sect in the South Continent that knows how to do it, and it's called the Shenlingxiang."

"There is also a fragrance that is the opposite of this, called the Spirit-Repelling Incense, which can drive away evil beasts."

"The Southern Continent sects spared no expense in planting large quantities of spirit-repelling incense in their area, which disgusted the demonic beasts and caused them to avoid the Southern Continent."

"However, the materials needed to refine Shen Lingxiang are extremely rare, no less than the best elixirs for the transformation of the spirit."

"It seems that the leader of the Storm Society really hates me to the core."

Henry Chu chuckled.

We will not hesitate to use these exotic fragrances to lure these ancient species to Yancheng.

Isn't it that I hate him to the core?

However, both Feng Chengjue and Shu Qi had misjudged his strength.

He is not just a late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

With his current strength, even if the Perfect Spirit Transformation came, he would not be enough to defeat him.

The two ancient alien species, the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape, only provided him with some precious monster materials.

…

A few days later.

The beast tide is approaching Yancheng.

The monks guarding the city wall saw the dust flying from afar and immediately sounded the alarm.

In the blink of an eye, Gong Hail, Ye Yinling, Du'e and others were floating above Yancheng, looking into the distance at the direction of the beast tide.

Chu Xuan was the last to arrive.

But these people all retreated to the left and right tacitly.

Ye Yinling was saved by Chu Xuan.

Gong Hai knew that Chu Xuan's strength was above his.

Du'e and the other two all admired Chu Xuan's great merits.

They were surprised by their unanimous actions.

Henry Chu also chuckled and looked straight ahead.

The smile on Ye Yinling's face didn't last long before it suddenly changed. "Something's wrong. How come there are ten Spiritual Transformation Stage demon beasts?"

"Look, the auras of the two leading monsters are also not right. Could they be monsters in the late stage of Spiritualization?"

Gong Bao, Du'e and the others all looked over, their expressions suddenly becoming solemn.

"Golden-winged tiger and howling sun ape, aren't those ancient alien species?" Gong Hai scratched his head.

Ye Yinling's face was grim. "With the Yancheng formation, I'm afraid we can only hold out for a few days..."

Before she could finish, Du'e said in a deep voice, "Dragon Buddha, I, your two brothers, will be the rear guard. You all can go first."

There was no fear on the faces of Du Nan and Watanabe. They both took a step forward at the same time, obviously agreeing with their senior brother's decision.

These words and actions surprised Gong Hai and Ye Yinling.

Are all the monks in Wuxianglong Temple like this?

Chu Xuan waved his hand, "No need to do that, my cultivation has improved recently, I should be able to deal with them."

As he spoke, he strode forward with great speed.

Chu Xuan's action surprised Ye Yinling and Gong Hai.

Even Du'e and the other two who were determined to die were surprised.

They all knew that Henry Chu was very powerful.

But you didn't expect that you could deal with so many demon beasts in the God Transformation Stage, right?

Chu Xuan said calmly, "I will lead away those two ancient alien species in the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm."

"They are the only variables."

"Fellow Daoists, guard Yancheng well."

After saying that, he flew into the air and actually rushed out of the Yancheng formation directly.

Ye Yinling exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Zhang..."

She hadn't finished her words yet.

Chu Xuan had already rushed to the front of the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape.

There was an extremely cold aura surging in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, it roared out, causing the two ferocious beasts to immediately stop charging.

It is the cold light that freezes the sky and the earth.

After casting this spell, Chu Xuan immediately flew away from Yancheng.

This icy pain immediately made the Golden-Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape furious, and they immediately chased after him.

After a while, the man and two beasts disappeared.

Gong Hai said worriedly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is very powerful, but it would be extremely difficult for him to fight two beasts alone."

Ye Yinling clenched her fists, "Fight with all your might to slay the demon! As long as we can hold back the beast tide here, we can send troops to rescue Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

Du'e chanted the Buddha's name and said in a deep voice, "Donor Zhang is a man of great merit. He will not die easily. Donors, let us take action!"

"There are so many innocent monks in Yancheng. Their only hope is us."

"Okay!" Gong Hai and Ye Yinling both nodded heavily.

The battle broke out instantly inside and outside Yancheng.

The other side.

Feng Chengjue and Shu Qi secretly observed the battle situation in Yancheng.

Feng Chengjue discovered that Chu Xuan had led the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape away alone, and immediately laughed strangely.

"Shu Qi, did you see that? It's so stupid, so stupid!"

"In life, your own life is the most important."

"This Zhang Jing is actually willing to risk his own life to lure away two ancient alien species. How unwise!"

"It seems that he will be severely injured by these two ancient alien species without our intervention."

Shu Qi said respectfully, "This is all thanks to the Shen Lingxiang that the leader took out."

Although he said this, he was very confused in his heart.

Why is Zhang Jing so stupid?

Wouldn't that mean the two favors he did would be wasted?

"Let's go and follow from a distance." Feng Chengjue sneered.

at the same time.

Chu Xuan flew in front, with the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape chasing closely.

As the surrounding scenery gradually became primitive and wild, he couldn't help but nod in understanding.

"That's about it, here it is."

He just stopped.

Without waiting for the Golden-Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape to react.

The giant hoof of Fu Yue, condensed from qi and blood, fell from the sky and slammed the two ancient alien species into the ground on the spot.

It's like a towering mountain suppressing you!

The golden wings that the golden-winged tiger is proud of are as fragile as glass.

The Howling Sun Ape's strongest arms and knees were as weak as tofu.

With just one strike, the two ancient alien species lost their combat effectiveness.

After all, Chu Xuan's attack was a full-strength attack of the fiftyth level of body refinement.

Moreover, even the grade of this body-refining martial art is extremely high.

It was gained from the Giant Star's Seven Transformations Heavenly Art "Fu Yue Long Gong".

The Seven Transformations Heavenly Art is already equivalent to the techniques of the Void Refinement Stage. The physical training martial arts that are comprehended from it, even if weakened a little, are equivalent to the spells of the Out-of-Body Stage!

It is normal that the Golden-Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape are so vulnerable.

Chu Xuan casually wiped out the vitality of the two ancient alien species and threw them into the Sky Corpse Tower.

There is a little tiger in the Sky Corpse Tower who will cut the precious materials from these two ancient alien species for him.

Xiaohu is very good at this.

He doesn't need to worry about it himself.

After doing all this, he stood there calmly, waiting for the two men to arrive.

A moment later, Feng Chengjue and Shu Qi flew into the air and arrived here.

They saw Chu Xuan standing alone from a distance.

However, the two ancient alien species, the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape, had disappeared without a trace.

Feng Chengjue was shocked and suspicious. He expanded his spiritual sense and looked around.

But they couldn't find any trace of the two monsters.

They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

Shu Qi was also shocked and confused, and had no idea what was going on.

Henry Chu smiled slightly, "Since you two are here, why don't you show up?"

After saying this, the two were even more surprised.

Their whereabouts had been discovered long ago?

Feng Chengjue and Shu Qi looked at each other and finally showed up.

Feng Chengjue looked at Henry Chu and said coldly, "Zhang Jing, do you know who I am?"

Henry Chu smiled indifferently, "I don't bother to know the name of the dead."

Feng Chengjue sneered, "How arrogant!"

"Do you really think that if you can kill Zheng Ye, you can kill me?"

"I will personally take action to avenge my previous shame!"

He strode forward, full of murderous intent.

Chu Xuan, however, remained calm and said, "Shu Qi, now is the time for you to surrender. Why are you hesitating?"

Shu Qi's face changed drastically.

Feng Chengjue also frowned slightly.

Chu Xuan continued, "Do you know where the Golden Winged Tiger and the Howling Sun Ape went?"

"It's impossible for these two ancient alien species in the late stage of the Divine Transformation to disappear out of thin air."

"The storage spiritual tool can only collect the corpses of monsters."

Shu Qi opened his eyes wide, and an absurd idea came to his mind.

Those two ancient alien species were both killed by Zhang Jing!

This is the only guess that fits the current situation.

Otherwise it would not be enough to explain why the whereabouts of the two monsters could not be found.

Henry Chu growled, "If we don't take action now, when will we?"

His voice was like thunder.

Shu Qi was so frightened that he subconsciously looked towards Feng Chengjuehouxin.

Feng Chengjue's expression suddenly changed, "You actually have two minds!"

"Shu Qi! Have you forgotten who brought you to Wind City and helped you practice?!"

Shu Qi took a deep breath, slapped his Qiankun bag, and all his spiritual weapons came out.

Without saying a word, he rushed towards Feng Chengjue.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly and pointed casually, and Xiaohu led four big corpse kings to surround and kill Feng Chengjue.

Feng Chengjue's personal strength is indeed powerful, and he can be said to be a leader among the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But facing such a crushing battle situation, it is not enough to escape.

After a while, Xiaohu seized the opportunity and smashed his head with a punch.

Shu Qi looked at the five giant corpse kings with a look of fear.

Good news, he guessed right, Zhang Jing's strength is indeed not what it seems.

Bad news, his guess was too conservative!

The opponent attacked with a huge zombie king as soon as he attacked, and there were five of them!

Zhang Jing is clearly a master of the Way of Corpses! A top-tier demon cultivator!

He is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated.

Shu Qi lowered his head and came to Chu Xuan.

He knelt on one knee and said, "Shuqi, I am willing to serve you, my master."

Seeing that Henry Chu was just smiling, he gritted his teeth and suddenly pressed his eyebrows, his face turning pale in an instant.

After a while, he finally took out a strand of his spirit and respectfully offered it, "Master, this is a strand of my spirit, please keep it."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You are quite sensible."
