At this time, Mu Qingfeng had already stepped into the air and headed straight for the dark domain.
Zheng Yanshi whispered, "Young Master, let's go take a look too. At the very least, we can make some good connections."
Shangguan Youlian nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was suspended in the air, with his eyes closed, feeling the changes inside and outside of himself.
Heavenly tribulation is actually a double-edged sword.
Although it causes terrible damage, it can also temper the body of the cultivator.
If you can get through it, you will achieve the state of out-of-body cultivation.
If you can't cross it, you will be reduced to dust.
Chu Xuan took out the five-layer golden wheel of merit, and the out-of-body tribulation retreated.
He only wants the benefits of the heavenly tribulation, not the disadvantages.
Therefore, the nourishment that the out-of-body tribulation brought to his physical body and soul has now been completely absorbed into his body.
He could feel that every cell in his body, inside and out, was transforming and sublimating.
He could feel more clearly that entering the out-of-body state was very different from the previous several major leaps in realm.
This time there is exponential growth.
Previously, he progressed from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, from Foundation Establishment to Golden Elixir, from Golden Elixir to Nascent Soul, and from Nascent Soul to Divine Transformation. Although he had become very powerful, he was still hovering among the ranks of fish.
At best, it changes from a small fish to a big fish, or even a big shark or a big whale.
But now, the spirit is rising out of the body, just like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
From now on, it is no longer a fish, but a dragon!
Henry Chu smiled, "This feeling is really wonderful."
Whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, several figures suddenly came together.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Chu Xuan.
Some people are elegant and easy-going, wearing a blue shirt.
Some people have sinister faces, like the deep sea.
Henry Chu saw a familiar figure at a glance.
It was Shangguan Youlian, the genius who had achieved the state of transformation of the Nine Nether Palace.
As soon as Shangguan Youlian appeared, she stared at Chu Xuan fiercely, as if she remembered someone.
Henry Chu smiled slightly.
He had just been tempered by the heavenly tribulation and was reborn, so the disguise on his face naturally disappeared.
What replaced it was its original true appearance.
He had no intention of pretending again.
I was hiding before only because I was not strong enough.
Now that I have entered the state of out-of-body experience, and with all parties trying to win me over, there is no need to hide my identity anymore.
The middle-aged man in green robes smiled and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your advancement to the Out-of-Body Realm. I am Mu Qingfeng from the Heavenly Talisman Sect. I have prepared a small gift for you. I hope you will accept it."
As he spoke, he took out a jade box and sent it over through the air.
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mu."
He knew very well which sects were around the Dark Domain.
A new out-of-body true master has appeared in the Dark Realm, so naturally all the nearby sects will come to take a look.
Zheng Yanshi also smiled and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist. This is a gift from my Jiuyou Palace. It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."
Henry Chu laughed, "Mr. Zheng, there's no need to do this."
Zheng Yanshi asked in confusion, "Why do you know my last name?"
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Chu was once the leader of the Wuji Tianzong."
This time, Zheng Yanshi was stunned.
After a while, Shangguan Youlian screamed, "Chu Xuan? You are Chu Xuan?! Oh no...Chu Zhenjun!"
Mu Qingfeng also looked as if he had seen a ghost.
What's going on.
This person who has just left the body is from Jiuyou Palace?
Chu Xuan smiled but said nothing.
Zheng Yanshi looked at Chu Xuan deeply, and sighed deeply, "When Fellow Daoist Chu killed Shi Jingtian and disappeared, I thought Jiuyou Palace would lose a pillar."
"Now it seems that he has become a genius who has reached the state of transcendence!"
Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "Mr. Zheng, you are too kind. I came to the Dark Realm just to avoid disaster."
Zheng Yanshi asked, "So what are your plans next? Why not return to the Xuanyin Star Region with us?"
Henry Chu shook his head, "There are still some things that need to be dealt with."
Zheng Yanshi nodded, "Okay, we will stay on Black Cloud Star, north of the Dark Domain, for a while."
"This is my sound transmission jade."
"If Fellow Daoist Chu wants to return to the Xuanyin Star Region, just tell me."
Chu Xuan accepted it with a smile, "That's great."
Zheng Yanshi and Shangguan Youlian bowed to Chu Xuan again before turning and leaving.
Before leaving, Shangguan Youlian looked at Chu Xuan several more times.
She was still a little dazed.
It was totally unexpected that the newcomer to the Out-of-Body Realm in the Dark Realm was Chu Xuan, who had been missing for decades!
Mu Qingfeng coughed dryly a few times, "It seems that my Tianfu Fazong and fellow Daoist are not destined to be together."
Chu Xuan smiled, "I just have a past in Jiuyou Palace, I don't necessarily have to go there."
Mu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, "I understand."
He also took out a piece of sound transmission jade and presented it with both hands, "If you have any ideas, you can discuss it with me in detail."
After saying that, he turned and left.
When leaving, I was still recalling the name "Chu Xuan".
"After returning, I must thoroughly investigate who Henry Chu is. If I don't know his background, it will be inconvenient to win him over."
"However, someone who can repel the heavenly tribulation with the fifth-level Golden Wheel of Merit must not be some evil demon and can be trusted."
"It's Zhao Jie, you really made a mistake this time."
After Zheng Yanshi, Mu Qingfeng and others left, the Divine Transformation cultivators from the Dark Realm rushed over from all over.
The cultivator from the Gong family was the closest, so he was the first to arrive.
However, Zheng Yanshi and Mu Qingfeng, two great masters who had reached the state of out-of-body experience, were standing there. They did not dare to step forward and could only wait.
Now he came to Chu Xuan respectfully.
Gong Yue'e looked at the strange young man in front of her and was deeply shocked.
Although the appearance is unfamiliar, the aura is indelibly familiar.
Li Yin's expression was extremely excited.
I thought I was holding on to a powerful and powerful person.
I didn't expect that big and thick legs have evolved!
It directly turned into a pillar to the sky!
Gong Tianyang, Gong Yue'e, and Li Yin all said respectfully, "Greetings, Master!"
Chu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in mid-air, without saying a word.
After a while, more Divine Transformation cultivators arrived.
Baili Ye of the Baili family, Jin Taiyuan of the Jin family, Qin Xuan of the Qin family, and so on...
Henry Chu glanced around, taking in everyone's expression.
Some were afraid, some were excited, and more were in awe.
He didn't say anything, and no one dared to speak. They just stood there, slightly bowed, and didn't move.
The aura of the monk who had reached the state of leaving the body was released without any concealment, which made everyone tremble with fear.
Seeing that most of the Divine Transformation cultivators in the Northern Continent had arrived, Chu Xuan put away the pressure of the Out-of-Body cultivator and said calmly, "My original name is Chu Xuan. I have a grudge against the Sea God Island, so I came to the Dark Realm and used the alias Zhang Jing to escape disaster."
"You don't have to worry too much. I will stay in the Dark Territory for a while to handle some matters."
Everyone nodded in unison, "We understand."
Gong Tianyang suddenly asked, "May I ask, True Lord, do you want to spread your name throughout the Dark Realm?"
Henry Chu waved his hand casually, "Pass it on."
He knew that Gong Tianyang was planning to use his name to intimidate other forces.
The Gong family treated him well, and he didn't mind them borrowing his name.
"Yes." Gong Tianyang responded respectfully.
Chu Xuanze's figure flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After he left, everyone felt relieved.
Qin Xuan thought to himself: I never thought he actually had such an identity, and I never thought he could even reach the Out-of-Body state... Fortunately, I was on good terms with him...
Jin Taiyuan swallowed his saliva. After Chu Xuan reached the Out-of-Body state, the pressure from those in higher positions made him feel even more terrified.
He was also more certain that Chu Xuanding had also practiced a similar method as his.
As for Baili Ye, he was terrified. Chu Xuan's look just now almost made him collapse to the ground.
Recalling what he had said to Henry Chu at the Treasure Conference, he wished he could travel back in time and give his then-self a good slap.
Gong Tianyang coughed lightly, "Master Chu was promoted not long ago and needs quiet time. Everyone, please do not gather here. Please disperse."
"If any cultivators from the Southern Continent come here, tell them the name of Master Chu."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Daoyou Tianyang is absolutely right."
"I'll wait and disperse now."
"Yes, yes, I'll go now."
After a while, everyone dispersed.
Gong Yue'e said in a daze, "Ancestor... am I dreaming?"
Gong Tianyang clenched his fists, his old face as bark-like as a red glow of excitement, "No, you're not dreaming, and neither am I."
"Our Gong family's Zhang Gongfeng is truly an out-of-body true master!"
…
In the sea of stars.
A figure riding a giant turtle was heading towards the Dark Realm at high speed.
It was Yuanjue, the eminent monk of Wuxianglong Temple.
He exclaimed softly, "Someone in the Dark Realm has actually achieved the Out-of-Body Stage? That's great!"
"I wonder if this out-of-body donor has any connection with me, Dragon Buddha..."
"However, the Fallen Dragon's main soul also appeared..."
"Should I go find this newly-promoted out-of-body experience, or should I go find the Fallen Dragon Master Soul?"
Yuanjue was very distressed for a while, and then decided to go find the Fallen Dragon's main soul first.
"Searching for the fallen dragon's soul is a mission from above, and we cannot afford to fail."
"As for this newcomer, he shouldn't be running around. I'll just come back later."
He turned and walked away without stopping.
…
Inside Chang'an Pavilion.
Chu Xuan activated five spiritual weapons at the same time.
These five spiritual weapons are as graceful as a startled swan, agile and magical.
But there was no sign of fatigue on his face.
After a while, he exhaled and finished the exercise, nodding with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, after entering the Out-of-Body state, I can use these spiritual weapons with ease."
"Using five spiritual weapons at the same time is just a piece of cake."
"It took some time, but I have gained some understanding of my own Out-of-Body cultivation."
Many cultivators, after entering a higher realm, will immediately go into seclusion to familiarize themselves with their more powerful strength.
This process can take as short as ten days or as long as several decades.
It took him only two or three days to master the power of the first level of out-of-body experience, which was truly a gifted talent.
"The Mysterious Sky Ice Soul Divine Scroll has three chapters in total, corresponding to the Nascent Soul Chapter, the Spiritual Transformation Chapter, and the Out-of-Body Chapter. Unfortunately, I only have the first two chapters and not the third, so I can't continue practicing this method for the time being."
"Fortunately, I learned a technique before, so I can continue practicing."
The "Great Transformation and Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra" emerged in Chu Xuan's mind.
This method encompasses the five major realms of Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Out-of-Body Realm, and Refining Void.
It covers the three major demonic realms of Blood Path, Bone Path, and Heart Demon Path.
Although I only have the Blood Dao Chapter at hand now, it is enough for me to practice in the Out-of-Body Stage.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.
Instinctively, he raised his head and looked towards the south.
That is Qianli Gorge.
"When I was promoted to the Out-of-Body state earlier, I sensed an ancient, powerful, inhuman aura."
"Now that I think about it carefully, there seems to be quite a few weak but equally ancient auras."
"They are like offspring, surrounding the most ancient aura."
"Could it be that the black fog... is also related to them?"
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, the sound of splashing water suddenly came from the large water tank in the yard.
He looked in the direction of the sound and found that the white jade turtle was spitting out water bullets.
Plop, plop.
Again and again.
Seeing Chu Xuan's gaze, he quickly took out two white jade beads.
Henry Chu chuckled and shook his head, "You guy."
He casually cut off a few pieces of giant insect flesh and threw them over.
After eating it, the white jade turtle immediately became very satisfied and sank back to the bottom of the water.
He took a step forward and took the two white jade beads away.
During the fifty years that he was trying to achieve out-of-body experience, he paid little attention to the white jade turtle.
The little guy got addicted to it and was really feeling suffocated, which was normal.
"Wait...this white jade bead..."
Henry Chu glanced at the white jade beads and suddenly frowned.
Now, a streak of light appeared on their flawless surfaces, pointing to the south.
He immediately took out the white jade bead he had taken out before.
The same patterns also appeared on its surface!
Henry Chu looked back at the big water tank.
The little guy had sunk to the bottom of the big water tank and was fast asleep.
It's just a matter of eating and waiting to die.
This looks like a sky cave.
Henry Chu looked deeply at the white jade turtle through the water.
"You are indeed not an ordinary person."
"What is your connection with the black fog?"
…
Qianli Gorge.
The black fog seemed to have vitality and kept surging.
But fifty years have passed and it has not expanded any further.
At this moment, a figure stood outside the black fog.
It was Chu Xuan.
He originally thought that the light pattern on the white jade bead would guide him to some senior's cave.
Unexpectedly, it was brought out of the black fog.
But now that he was outside the black fog again, he did not feel the strong, death-threatening threat.
This feeling is completely different from last time.
He had an intuition.
This strange feeling should be directly related to the white jade beads.
He stretched out his hands and clapped them, and a white jade bead appeared in his palms.
The light patterns on the surface of the white jade beads are now extremely bright.
Like a little sun.
"Can the white jade beads dispel the black fog?"
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
The next moment, he saw the black fog suddenly become violent.
It was as if I had met my natural enemy.
His expression changed slightly, and he immediately flew into the air and retreated violently.
However, in the blink of an eye, the surroundings have changed drastically.
The light faded, leaving only darkness.
Henry Chu frowned deeply.
It seems that he was also caught in the black fog.
Originally, he just wanted to watch from afar and observe the black fog.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the white jade beads were taken out, the black fog suddenly rioted.
His reaction was quick, but he still couldn't escape the coverage of the black fog.
Chu Xuan frowned slightly, feeling guilty, "It must be because I entered the Out-of-Body Realm and became impatient, which led me to put myself in danger."
"When we saw the black fog from afar just now, we should have retreated immediately."
He reflected on himself briefly, summed up the lessons, and stopped thinking about it.
It is necessary to reflect on yourself.
But it's not time to reflect now.
Because he was in the unknown black fog.
No one knows what dangers lie here.
He looked around, lost in thought. "My spiritual awareness has indeed been suppressed. Visibility with the naked eye is extremely low. I can't even see my hand in front of me."
"The black fog covers Qianli Gorge, Dingbei City, and Zhumo City. Most of it should be water, but I'm standing on solid ground now."
"Could it be that the black fog has spatial properties?"
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from all directions.
Henry Chu frowned slightly, but did not move, and stood where he was.
The footsteps are getting closer.
After a while, several vague outlines came into his sight.
roar!
A roar was heard.
These figures rushed over at the same time!
Chu Xuan immediately wanted to activate the defensive spell.
But at this moment, the white jade beads on his waist suddenly shone brightly.
In an instant, the surroundings were illuminated with incomparable brightness.
He also used this light to see the other person's appearance clearly.
These four strange figures were composed of extremely dark fog, barely maintaining their human form.
But there are no facial features.
It looks extremely weird.
The moment the light appeared, the four strange shadows staggered, as if they had suffered a huge impact.
Chu Xuan immediately activated the White Dragon and other spiritual weapons, and in the blink of an eye, he split the four strange shadows into pieces.
But even though it was split into seven or eight pieces, the mist was still wriggling and combining in the same place.
In just a few breaths, he had recovered one third of his body.
If this continues, it will obviously not be long before it will be pieced together again and form a strange shadow again.
Chu Xuan once again activated the spiritual weapon to attack, but it only slowed down the speed of piecing them together.
He looked at the white jade bead in his arms thoughtfully, and immediately moved it closer.
As soon as the white jade beads came forward, the mist balls let out sharp screams and soon disappeared completely under the light.
"It seems that the white jade beads are really their nemesis."
"No wonder the black fog suddenly erupted and swept me in when I took out the white jade beads just now."
He did not stop and immediately moved forward following the light patterns on the white jade beads.
There is no day or night in the black fog.
Chu Xuan didn't know how long he had been walking.
The surrounding scenery always remains the same.
Barren land, desolate ruins, and the skeletons of monks that appear every now and then.
Some of the skeletons were still wearing Taoist robes and kept family relics.
So Chu Xuan recognized him at a glance, and he was the ancestor of a certain family who had achieved the state of transformation.
Apart from these, there are strange shadows wandering around.
If he didn't have the white jade beads, it would be very difficult for him to deal with these strange shadows.
Those monks who were caught in the black fog fifty years ago would most likely be killed by the endless strange shadows.
Chu Xuan was thoughtful, "Where exactly is the white jade bead leading me to?"
…
Deep in the black fog.
There was a cloud of extremely thick black fog here.
It is like a heart, and every time it surges, it shakes away a large amount of fog.
At this time, footsteps were heard.
The purple-haired old man dragged a figure and strode here.
The purple-haired old man's arms have completely turned into misty hands.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to defeat True Lord Qianhuan and capture him alive.
True Lord Qianhuan forced himself to speak, "Ziying...what exactly are you going to do..."
True Lord Ziying said calmly, "It needs a body to walk in the human world."
"You are just here to serve as this body."
He came to the dark fog and said, "I brought the person here, as agreed..."
The mist rolled, and in the blink of an eye it formed a baby face.
However, the child's face was hideous and terrifying, with no trace of cuteness at all.
At this time, the child's face and mouth opened and closed continuously, as if he was saying something.
True Lord Ziying listened for a moment, frowning repeatedly, "Didn't you say you would let me go if I brought the person to you?"
"I managed to capture Qian Huan alive while dodging those two Void Refining Masters. It was already quite an undertaking. Why didn't you keep your promise?"
The child's face was full of turmoil, and he seemed to be showing anger.
After a while, True Lord Ziying finally compromised and said, "Okay, I'll do one last thing for you. I'll capture that person for you, but you have to give me more power."
The child's face finally relaxed.
A wisp of black air flew out and hit the body of True Lord Ziying.
The latter immediately showed an ecstatic look.
"Power... this is power..."
After a moment, he left Qianhuan Zhenjun and turned to leave. "Wait, I will bring that person to you. I hope you can keep your promise then."
The child's face nodded humanely, then turned into dark mist again.
…
At this moment, Chu Xuan dealt with the two strange shadows and was about to move forward.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the front.
The surging spiritual power roared, and even he subconsciously took a few steps back.
His expression changed slightly, "Such as this astonishing aftermath of a battle could never have been caused by an out-of-body cultivator!"
Thinking of this, he stomped on the ground and retreated violently.
However, he did not take a few steps back, and the battle in front ended quickly.
Two figures whizzed past him and went backwards, seemingly not noticing him.
Chu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still moved forward immediately, trying to distance himself from them as soon as possible.
…
"She escaped again!"
Luo Zu looked around, but saw nothing and heard nothing, and couldn't help but feel regretful.
Fifty years ago, he and Song Lingcai entered the black fog one after another.
From that day on, the two of them often fought each other. At the beginning, Song Lingcai always had the upper hand with the power of the Broken Void Sword.
But Song Lingcai couldn't practice in this black fog.
But he can use the power of black fog to practice.
Therefore, the strength of one increases while the other decreases.
He has been able to gain an advantage since ten years ago.
Now he is chasing Song Lingcai and fighting her.
But the Void-Breaking Sword was actually the nemesis of the Fallen Cultivator, and it severely injured him several times.
This time, Song Lingcai also escaped with the help of the Poxu Sword.
"Who forged that broken sword? Damn it."
Luo Zu cursed and stopped pursuing.
"Huh? He came in too?"
Luo Zu's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately rushed in a certain direction.
…
On the other side, Chu Xuan was continuing to move forward following the guidance of the white jade beads.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up behind me.
He frowned slightly, and with a thought, five spiritual weapons floated around him. His palms were even holding back spells, ready to be unleashed at any time.
The next moment, a ghost suddenly appeared and pounced straight towards him.
He frowned, turned around suddenly, and all the spiritual weapons and spells were blasted behind him.
Swish.
The ghost pounced on him and disappeared like foam.
But a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Ding dang dang!
When the spiritual weapon hit the man, it was like hitting a solid wall, and he was bounced away on the spot.
As for spiritual magic, naturally there was no success there either.
Luo Zu dusted himself off and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you again, young man. You're amazing. You saw through my tricks at a glance."
Henry Chu was slightly startled and took back all his spiritual weapons. "Senior Luo Zu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Luo Zu strode over, looking Chu Xuan up and down with a smile, and said after a while, "It's been a long time since we last met. You've already left your body? That's fast."
Without waiting for Henry Chu to speak, he continued, "You have practiced the Fallen Cultivation Method, right? The aura on me is exactly the same, but it is hidden deeper than mine."
Chu Xuan nodded. He knew that he couldn't hide it from Luo Zu, and there was no need to hide it, so he simply admitted it openly.
"Senior, you want to kill me?" Chu Xuan asked casually.
Luo Zu shook his head, "You are unique."
He pointed at the white jade beads on Henry Chu's waist and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"
Henry Chu, "A white jade turtle was given to me. Do you know it, Senior?"
Luo Zu scratched his head, "White jade turtle? Never seen one before."
"But I have some impression of the aura within the white jade bead. It is not something that ordinary people can obtain."
"Since you have obtained the white jade beads, it means that you have received some kind of recognition."
"There are some memories I'm not clear about myself, or haven't even thought of yet, but there's one thing I'm clear on."
"Now that you have received such recognition, I can no longer kill you."
Chu Xuan felt a little relieved.
Decades ago, Luo Zu was able to devour Tang Zhengan, the ancestor of Lianxu on Sea God Island, alive.
Now he has at least the combat power of a great cultivator.
How could he be Luo Zu's opponent?
But now it seems that Luo Zu is on his side and not against him.
This is already a great thing.
At this moment, Luo Zu suddenly smiled and said, "Young man, are you willing to do something big with me?"
Chu Xuan was alert, "Senior, please speak."
Luo Zu smiled even more happily, "Just now I was chasing a young Lianxu person. I am stronger than him, but I couldn't kill him."
"She has a broken sword in her hand, made by someone unknown, and it has a great restraint on me."
"But you have the white jade beads, so she can't control you."
"I only need you to do one thing. Once I subdue her, you take the broken sword away."
Chu Xuan frowned, "I'm only in the Out-of-Body Stage, how dare I snatch something from a Void Refining Master?"
"I'm afraid she could easily kill me if she just thought about it."
Luo Zu shook his head, "Don't worry, she will never be able to kill you with me here."
"What I said just now was biased."
"Not only can I not kill you, I won't let anyone else kill you either."
"I also want to know what kind of recognition you have received and how it relates to me."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
In that case, we can take action.
Luo Zu casually killed a few of the strange shadows that rushed towards him, and then said, "These black fog monsters are very murderous towards you. It seems that the white jade beads in your hand are the natural enemies of these black fogs."
"How about this, as long as you help me take that broken sword, I will help you destroy the source of the fog and lead you out."
Henry Chu's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded, "It's a deal."
He was worrying about how to get out.
Since Luo Zu is willing to help, that's great.
"Of course!" Luo Zu nodded heavily.
…
In the midst of ruins.
Song Lingcai took the time to meditate and recover.
The black fog suppressed the recovery of spiritual power and also dispersed most of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But it is not possible to completely expel them.
She could only take advantage of this time to recover.
Recover as much as you can.
Otherwise, if she is found by the clone of the Fallen Ancestor again, she will surely die.
Song Lingcai looked up and saw nothing but swirling black fog. She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it! How on earth can I get out of this black fog?"
She now regrets it deeply.
Ming Wuzi's terrifying nature was far beyond her expectations.
Even though the Mingwuzi here may be just a remnant soul, the Mingwu barrier he created is like a maze, making it difficult to escape.
The Void-Breaking Sword could only make the surrounding dark fog retreat, but it could not help her get out of this damn maze.
Now the clone of the Fallen Ancestor is even stronger, and she has consumed too much spiritual power and is unable to recover. As a result, the gap between them is even greater.
If I can't get out in time, I'm afraid I'll die in this dark fog barrier!
Just then.
An unstoppable aura descended from the sky.
Luo Zu sneered, "I found you!"
Song Lingcai was horrified and immediately used his escape technique to fly away.
But she was still a little slow.
A huge bony hand suddenly appeared from the ground and grabbed her right leg.
There was a click.
His right leg was crushed on the spot.
In an instant, blood was everywhere.
Song Lingcai groaned and flew away while enduring the severe pain.
"I was alive and well, but for no apparent reason I was hunted down by the Kunlun Sword Sect. Now even a junior like you dares to mess with me!"
"I will eat you alive today!"
Luo Zu shouted loudly and also flew into the air, approaching quickly.
The distance between the two quickly closed.
Seeing that this was not a solution, Song Lingcai could only growl, "Fallen Ancestor clone, I have the Void-Breaking Sword in my hand, you can't kill me!"
"If you push me to the limit, you and I will die together!"
Luo Zu sneered, "Okay, then you wait and see, who dies first, you or me?"
Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and slapped it.
Two huge bony hands suddenly appeared, ready to swat Song Lingcai to death like a fly.
Song Lingcai cursed inwardly and immediately injected a huge amount of spiritual power into the Poxu Sword.
Only the sound of a sword was heard.
Layers of sword energy emanated from the Void-Breaking Sword, and the surrounding black fog moved away in fear.
The two huge bony hands were chopped into seventeen or eighteen pieces in the blink of an eye.
Luo Zu groaned and his speed dropped suddenly.
But he just sneered and continued to chase.
"Your spiritual power is running low. I wonder how many times you can activate the Void Breaking Sword!"
Luo Zu used his White Bone Hand again and again.
Every time, Song Lingcai had to activate the Void-Breaking Sword to break through the interception of these huge bone hands.
She didn't have much spiritual energy in her body to begin with, and now it was decreasing rapidly, almost drying up!
This time, the huge bony hand appeared in front of her again.
She subconsciously used the Void-Breaking Sword, but found that her spiritual power was not enough.
His body was hit by the huge bony hand on the spot and slammed into the ground.
Luo Zu was overjoyed and flew over immediately.
The smoke and dust dissipated.
Song Lingcai forced herself to sit up halfway.
She held the Void-Breaking Sword tightly against her chest.
Its body is surrounded by a layer of bright jade light.
Luo Zu clenched his hand, and the yin energy in the sky condensed into a giant hand, and he wanted to capture Song Lingcai away.
But the Poxu Sword suddenly released sword energy on its own, easily destroying the Yin Qi hand.
Luo Zu frowned.
This has happened before.
Even if Song Lingcai's spiritual power is not enough to use the Void-Breaking Sword, the sword will still operate on its own and attack all fallen cultivators.
This broken sword seems to have its own energy.
If he got too close, it might even explode.
Song Lingcai laughed, "This is a treasure specially made by the Kunlun Sword Sect to restrain the Fallen Cultivators."
"If someone else came here, even if they only had a small out-of-body experience, they would be able to snatch the Void-Breaking Sword from my arms."
"But as the incarnation of the Fallen Ancestor, you can be said to be the source of the Fallen Cultivator, so it is not acceptable."
Luo Zu raised his eyebrows, "Xuan boy, thank you for your help."
Song Lingcai was stunned.
who?
Is there anyone else in this black fog?
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew over.
The big hand suddenly grabbed the Void-Breaking Sword.
The jade light of the white jade beads flashed across his body. Seeing this, the Poxu Sword paused and did not release the sword energy again, but let him grab it.
Song Lingcai took a closer look.
The man was already holding the Poxu Sword and standing next to Luo Zu.
This person is actually a monk who has reached the state of out-of-body experience!
Moreover, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
After a while, he exclaimed in surprise, "Chu Xuan! You are the Chu Xuan who killed Shi Jingtian!"
After she returned to Seagod Island after making great contributions at Xuling Mountain, she quickly became familiar with the affairs of the sect.
Shi Jingtian is a genius who has reached the level of God Transformation on Sea God Island. He is also the core disciple that she and Tang Zhengan have chosen to train with all their efforts.
But he was killed by Chu Xuan.
She naturally remembered this person, this face.
Chu Xuan smiled, "Seven Colors True Lord has a good eye. If it weren't for the aggressiveness of Sea God Island, I wouldn't have moved to the Dark Realm, let alone my current Out-of-Body cultivation."
"I really have to thank Poseidon Island for where I am today."

After hearing this, Song Lingcai was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood.
She could never have imagined that it would be a young person who had reached the state of out-of-body experience who would set her up for death.
Luo Zu laughed, "Interesting, I didn't expect there's some rift between you two?"
"Xuan boy, do I think I helped you?"
Henry Chu nodded, "Thank you, senior."
There were originally two Lianxu ancestors on the Sea God Island. Tang Zhengan is dead, and now Song Lingcai is also about to die.
Without Patriarch Lianxu in charge, the Seagod Island existed in name only. After the news was passed back, it would not take long for the Seagod Island to be divided up by several nearby seventh-level sects.
This time he no longer needs to worry about being remembered by Poseidon Island.
Luo Zu smiled strangely and walked towards Song Lingcai, "Young man, why do you have to hunt me when you can hunt anyone else?"
"I'm afraid you've been used as a gun."
Song Lingcai gnashed his teeth and said, "The people from Kunlun Sword Sect are just outside the Dark Domain. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get past them."
"Fallen Ancestor clone, you are destined to die!"
Luo Zu sneered, "Even if I were to die, it wouldn't be your turn to pronounce the verdict."
With a casual pinch of his hand, Song Lingcai's life was cut off on the spot.
Their souls were casually pulled out and thrown into their mouths.
Chu Xuan stood with his hands hanging down, saying nothing.
After a moment, he said, "Senior, you should take this Void-Breaking Sword."
Luo Zu was stunned, "Why?"
Henry Chu smiled and said, "This sword is of great origin, I dare not take it."
From what Song Lingcai had just said, he could roughly guess that the Void-Breaking Sword was most likely a gift from someone in the Kunlun Sword Sect.
This treasure is specifically designed to defeat corrupted cultivators, and must be a rare treasure.
If he holds it, someone will come to ask for it in the future.
It would be better to throw this hot potato to Luo Zu.
In any case, Luo Zu had long been targeted by the Kunlun Sword Sect.
There are too many lice and they don't itch.
Luo Zu thought about it and nodded, "That's true."
"Letting you hold this thing will only harm you."
"But I can't take it now. I have to find some way to take it away."
As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged and casually spread out a tattered animal skin.
Just looking at its appearance, it is impossible to tell what kind of monster it is.
Luo Zu then bit his finger, used it as a pen, and used his blood as ink to start drawing the formation.
Chu Xuan was watching from the side and felt that Luo Zu was drawing the formation in a very casual manner.
He seemed to have no attainments in the art of formations at all.
The reason why he was able to draw such a formation pattern was simply by copying.
After a moment, the formation was completed.
Chu Xuan took another closer look and felt that this formation was even more mysterious and strange.
The pattern in the center of the formation roughly formed a dragon shape, which looked very much like the fallen dragon he saw in the Falling Dragon Valley that year.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Could this animal skin be the remains of a fallen dragon?"
Luo Zu sucked his fingers and then said casually, "Put the Void-Breaking Sword here."
Chu Xuan did as he was told.
As expected, as soon as it was put on, the Void-Breaking Sword began to vibrate violently, trying desperately to break free.
But the animal skin seemed to have life and quickly wrapped it up.
After a while, the sword energy of the Poxu Sword was completely restrained and it stopped struggling.
Luo Zu then accepted it and threw it into his Qiankun bag.
He smiled and said, "Xuan boy, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to swallow this Lianxu junior."
Henry Chu smiled, "It's okay, just remember your promise."
"Don't worry, I mean what I say," Luo Zu said carelessly, "If I were to go back on my word to a junior like you, I would be too shameless."
After saying that, he pointed to the east and said, "Look, he's coming right here as I was talking."
"Let's wait here."
"When he shows up, I, Lao Luo, will personally destroy him."
Chu Xuan nodded, sat down cross-legged, and waited quietly.
After a while, a figure strode out of the black fog.
Chu Xuan looked up and saw that it was the Purple Shadow True Lord from the Baili family.
However, the arms of this True Lord Ziying have now turned into mist.
Even some parts of the body showed signs of turning into mist.
His face also became more sinister.
He no longer looks like the immortal he did fifty years ago.
"Out of body?"
"When did the Dark Realm leave the body again? Are you an outsider?"
True Lord Ziying looked at Henry Chu and frowned.
"Never mind. I'm too lazy to question a dead man."
"Should I take you away, or will you come with me?"
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "Who asked you to arrest me? The source of the black fog here?"
True Lord Ziying sneered, "Why do you know so much? Let's go."
However, before he could make a move, a terrifying aura suddenly descended upon him, suppressing him like a mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Refining the void?!"
True Lord Ziying was so frightened that he let out a low roar and transformed his entire body into mist, which then split apart and dissipated.
Luo Zu sneered, "Want to run away? I won't allow it."
He grabbed with his big hand, and the surrounding fog was also mobilized by him.
The mist transformed by True Lord Ziying could not escape far before being pulled back and reassembled into its original form.
When True Lord Ziying saw that he was still in the same place, he became even more frightened.
He knelt down and kowtowed for mercy, "Senior, please spare my life. I have no intention of becoming your enemy."
Luo Zu shook his head and pointed at Henry Chu who was sitting cross-legged next to him, "You shouldn't beg for mercy from me, I'm just helping Xuan boy."
True Lord Ziying was shocked. "Xuan... Daoist friend, no matter who you are, can you spare my life? I am the ancestor of the Baili family who has reached the state of out-of-body experience. As long as I am out, I can give you anything you want."
Henry Chu shook his head repeatedly, "Stupid, even if I kill you, your things will still be mine."
Luo Zu laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, I like this idea!"
He stomped his foot suddenly, and a huge bony hand fell from the sky, directly beating True Lord Ziying into a pulp.
His soul tried to escape, but was grabbed, crumpled into a ball, and thrown in front of Henry Chu.
Henry Chu suddenly asked, "Senior, is this person also practicing the Falling Method?"
Luo Zu nodded casually, "Of course, I remembered something. It seems to be called the Dark Mist Method. It's not very strong."
"It's completely incomparable to the Dragon-Falling Technique you practiced."
"This method should have been taught to him by that ghost thing at the source of the fog."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that the source of this black fog should also be something similar to the fallen dragon.
Luo Zu grabbed the Qiankun bag of True Lord Ziying in his hand through the air.
With just a wipe, the mark of his spiritual consciousness was removed.
"Strange, why is there no dragon claw?"
He scanned several times but still couldn't find the dragon claw. He immediately shook his head and simply threw it to Henry Chu.
"It's for you."
"What I want is not in him."
Chu Xuan didn't ask any more questions.
What Luo Zu wants to find must be extremely important. Maybe the Kunlun Sword Sect is also looking for it, but he doesn't want to get involved.
"It's really infuriating..."
Luo Zu walked around a few times and started cursing.
After a while, he said, "Xuan boy, follow me, let's go find the source of the fog."
"That guy might know where my stuff is."
"The white jade bead in your hand should also guide you there."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "Okay."
Now Luo Zu can be considered his backer.
With such a strong man by my side, even if there is a black fog, it won't be a problem.
As expected, just as Chu Xuan expected, with Luo Zu by his side, everything went exceptionally smoothly.
He didn't even need to make a move.
Luo Zu could kill those strange shadows in the black fog with just a casual strike.
Although they can still recover, the speed of their wriggling combination has slowed down a lot.
After a while, the two followed the guidance of the white jade beads and came to the deepest part of the fog.
There was a mass of extremely dark fog here that was constantly swirling and wriggling.
There was another figure kneeling in front of the dark mist.
When he came here, Henry Chu immediately felt the extreme malice looming over him.
It made him feel very uncomfortable.
As if sensing the arrival of a stranger, the dark mist surged again and quickly formed into a child's face.
That child's face looks quite cute.
But he always had a ferocious and violent expression.
The child's face kept opening and closing its mouth, as if roaring angrily.
Chu Xuan noticed that its eyes were always on him.
Obviously, all those curse words were directed at him.
Luo Zu frowned, "What are you talking about? I don't understand a bit."
The child stared at Henry Chu with resentment, and suddenly got into the figure.
The latter suddenly twitched.
Then he suddenly stood up and looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan took a glance and found that this person was the out-of-body ancestor of the Earth Immortal Palace, Qianhuan Zhenjun.
But now, fog can be seen all over the body.
Especially those eyes, which were empty and lifeless.
It was obvious that he had died long ago and became a body controlled by this dark mist.
The misty body moved its lips and let out a low growl like a wild beast, "The Black Tortoise Pearl... Give it to me! Give me the Black Tortoise Pearl!"
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
Basalt beads?
Are you talking about white jade beads?
It seems that this thing is really related to the black fog.
Seeing that Chu Xuan didn't react, the misty body rushed over directly and tried to snatch it away.
Luo Zu took a step forward and stood in front of Chu Xuan.
Without him making any movement, the huge bony hand suddenly condensed and slapped hard, sending the misty body flying on the spot.
Luo Zu snorted coldly, "Who told you to touch him?"
"If you want to talk, talk nicely and don't use your hands."
The misty body crawled up again, looking at Luo Zu with fear and hatred in its eyes.
After a while, it said, "You have borrowed the power of the fallen dragon to cultivate, and you are also one of us."
"You should be helping me instead of him."
Luo Zu sneered, "I'm not a member of any party, so don't do those useless things."
The misty body stood there for a long time, neither moving forward nor retreating.
It wanted to seize the Black Tortoise Pearl, but it couldn't defeat Luo Zu.
I can only stay here.
Henry Chu suddenly asked, "What is the relationship between the Xuanwu Pearl and you?"
A voice of hatred rang out from the misty shell, "It has suppressed me... for many years!"
Henry Chu couldn't help but frown.
Just relying on this one bead? Suppressing this thing for so many years?
Luo Zu also became impatient and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I ask you questions and you answer them."
The misty body immediately roared, obviously unwilling to cooperate.
Luo Zu's response was a big push.
The misty body cooperated immediately.
Luo Zu, "What are you."
Mist body, "Ming Wuzi."
"What suppressed you?"
"Xuanwu Seal."
"What is the relationship between the Xuanwu Seal and the Xuanwu Pearl?"
"The Xuanwu Pearl is part of the Xuanwu Seal."
After a while of question and answer, Luo Zu finally understood and nodded, then looked at Chu Xuan.
"It seems that the Black Tortoise Pearl guided you here in order to completely destroy this Ming Wuzi."
Henry Chu also nodded slightly.
That makes sense.
He suddenly thought of the white jade turtle sleeping soundly in the big water tank in Chang'an Pavilion.
The Black Tortoise Pearl is spit out by the white jade turtle.
Since the Xuanwu Pearl is part of the Xuanwu Seal.
So, what is that white jade turtle?
The Xuanwu Seal sounds like a treasure of extremely high grade, at least above the level of a spiritual treasure.
But I've never heard of any spiritual treasure running around everywhere and asking for food and drink?
The misty shell's lips moved, and a hoarse voice uttered, "I have answered your question. Can you give me the Black Tortoise Pearl?"
Luo Zu shook his head, "No, you have to help me practice."
"Xuan boy, I'll take this Ming Wuzi away."
Henry Chu nodded, "Senior, please take it away. It's of no use to me. But I want this person's body."
Luo Zu nodded casually, "You can take it. I don't care about a mere out-of-body cultivator."
The two hit it off immediately, and it was a win-win situation.
The misty shell murmured, "What about me?"
…
Outside the black fog.
If there were any cultivators here, they would see that at this moment, the black fog seemed to be swallowed by some giant beast, collapsing inward at an extremely fast speed and shrinking continuously.
In less than an hour, the black fog disappeared completely.
Qianli Gorge, Fengyun Island, Dingbei City, and Zhumo City have returned to their original state.
But, there is no life.
Two figures appeared out of nowhere.
It was Chu Xuan and Luo Zu.
Luo Zu smiled with relief and said, "We should have many opportunities to meet in the future."
"Next time, remember to teach me how you cultivated all these merits. I really envy you."
"I'm going to leave first. I need to find a place to interrogate this Ming Wuzi and see where my Stone Dragon Claw is."
After saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
Chu Xuan bowed towards the sky, "Senior, take care."
Only after Luo Zu left did the heavy feeling in his heart disappear.
Although Luo Zu had no intention of killing him, the fact that a vicious man who could eat Lianxu alive was standing next to him would make anyone feel wary.
Not to mention that he was just a recent out-of-body cultivator.
He was able to stand beside Luo Zu without losing his composure or showing any fear, which was far superior to many cultivators.
"However, this time Luo Zu killed Song Lingcai, annihilated True Lord Ziying and True Lord Qianhuan, and took away Mingwuzi."
"He really is a good person who does his best."
Chu Xuan was filled with emotion.
What is this Fallen Ancestor? He is clearly a pure and good person!
Thinking of the current situation, he became thoughtful again, "As for the Dark Realm, both of them have lost their Out-of-Body Realm. Now they are like a piece of prime fat meat, and can only be slaughtered by others."
"I'm afraid all the surrounding sects want to come and get a piece of the pie."
"Although I have reached the Out-of-Body Realm, I am only a newcomer. Now that the current situation has subsided, I should take advantage of the current stability to improve as quickly as possible. I cannot stay in the Dark Realm any longer..."
"So, I still have to choose a sect to join."
He immediately spread his spiritual awareness all over the place.
The spiritual consciousness of a cultivator who has reached the state of leaving the body is enough to completely cover the dark area.
Wherever his spiritual sense passed, all the cultivators were shocked.
They all felt it.
That out-of-body true master is back!
Chu Xuan spoke loudly, "I have returned from the black fog. All the gods in the north and south continents must go to Fengyun Island to obey my orders!"
The sound was infused with spiritual energy, surging and stirring, spreading towards the south and north continents.
His voice sounded like an order in this dark area.
No one dares to disobey the order.
Within seven or eight days, all the existing Divine Transformation cultivators in the Dark Realm arrived one after another and stood by respectfully.
Chu Xuan put his hands behind his back and said nothing.
They also lowered their hands, waiting quietly without saying a word.
But the awe in my heart is far greater than before.
They were all wondering the same thing.
Master Chu returned from the black fog.
The black fog disappeared.
But True Lord Ziying and True Lord Qianhuan are both gone.
what does that mean?
After all the Divine Transformation cultivators arrived, Chu Xuan looked around and said casually, "Everyone is here."
"What I want to say is very simple. The source of the black fog has been eliminated. I have not found True Lord Qianhuan and True Lord Ziying. They must have fallen."
"From now on, the north and south of the Dark Territory will be connected, and the bridge will be built. There will no longer be any distinction between sects and aristocratic families."
The words still echoed after they were spoken.
Just three short sentences made everyone's heart beat wildly.
The Dixian Palace and the Baili family's Divine Transformation cultivators felt like they were struck by lightning at this moment.
The two ancestors who had achieved the state of leaving the body, just disappeared like that?
Will our Earthly Immortal Palace and Baili Family be no different from other sects and aristocratic families in the future?!
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Baili Ye's eyes were crazy and unbelievable.
Henry Chu looked at him with an indifferent expression.
Gong Tianyang scolded, "How dare you! How can you lose your composure in front of the True Lord? Take him down!"
Several nearby Jindan cultivators rushed forward and pinned Baili Ye to the ground on the spot.
Several incarnation cultivators who had grudges against the Baili family also secretly gave him a few big punches.
Chu Xuan said casually, "Nothing is impossible. Ziying used evil power to engulf True Lord Qianhuan in the black fog. Many people saw that scene."
"This also indirectly led to the deaths of many Divine Transformation cultivators in the black fog. If anything, Ziying was the culprit responsible for the deaths of these innocent cultivators."
After saying this, Baili Ye, who had been a little crazy just now, now wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
When the Baili family was powerful before, no one dared to question them.
Even if True Lord Ziying was swept away by the black fog, outsiders still did not dare to speak out because of fear and the residual power.
But now that True Lord Chu has walked out of the black fog, it is certain that True Lord Ziying has fallen.
The Baili family's dominant position was gone forever.
All the past grudges were recovered with Chu Xuan's words.
Henry Chu paused, then added, "After all, I am not from the Dark Realm, so I won't stay here for too long."
"The Dark Territory will always rely on you to govern it."
All the Divine Transformation cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good.
What they were most worried about was that Chu Xuan would stay in the Dark Realm and dominate here.
Since Henry Chu took the initiative to say this, they felt much more relieved.
Gong Tianyang's figure was a little hunched.
Gong Bao and Gong Mingjian were caught in the black fog fifty years ago, and I'm afraid they have already died.
Chu Xuan is the biggest supporter of their Gong family. If even Chu Xuan wants to leave, wouldn't the Gong family be in danger?
You know, he has been able to survive until today by relying on the longevity spiritual object.
If he hadn't held on to his last breath, he would have died long ago.
If he too dies, the Gong family may really be finished.
Chu Xuan glanced at Gong Tianyang and Gong Yue'e, and said lightly, "I have finished speaking, everyone can go away."
"yes."
"We respectfully send you off, True Lord."
"Go slowly, Master!"
All the Divine Transformation cultivators were extremely respectful.
Henry Chu said casually, "Gong Tianyang, Gong Yue'e, you two stay."
After everyone left, Chu Xuan took out two Qiankun bags and handed them to Gong Tianyang.
"It is extremely difficult for a Divine Transformation cultivator to survive in the black fog, let alone survive for fifty years."
"This is a relic I found. Please accept it."
Gong Tianyang accepted it with trembling hands.
He understood that this was exactly the Qiankun bag of Gong Hai and Gong Mingjian.
He half-knelt down, "Thank you... Master Chu."
Gong Yue'e bit her lips tightly and her face turned extremely pale.
Chu Xuan suddenly said, "Gong Yue'e, your crippled legs are not incurable."
"I have a method that can help you stand up again. Maybe you can even reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the future."
"It's just that you have to endure a lot of pain."
"Would you like to?"
Gong Yue'e was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyes immediately sparkled with a strange light.
Without hesitation, she said in a deep voice, "Yue'e is willing! Please teach me, Master!"
Gong Tianyang was also very excited.
If Gong Yue'e could practice again, the Gong family's inheritance would not be cut off!
Henry Chu nodded and said, "Let's go back to the Gong family first."
"yes!"
…
Yancheng, Chang'an Pavilion.
Gong Yue'e and Gong Tianyang were waiting outside.
A few days later, the gate was reopened.
The two of them walked in respectfully and smelled the rich aroma of elixir.
Chu Xuan flicked his fingers, and a jade bottle floated in front of Gong Yue'e.
"This pill is called the Soul Restoring Pill, and it can restore the connection between the soul and the body."
"Your spirit and body are intact, but the spirit in your legs has lost its connection with your legs."
"Just make up for it."
"But taking this pill causes extreme pain, which is unbearable for ordinary people."
"And there's an even more serious price to pay. Your soul and body will become too tightly bound together, making it impossible for you to escape from your body."
If you want to achieve the state of leaving the body, you have to go through great pains to separate your soul from your body.
If the two are too close, it will make it much more difficult to leave the body.
Unless you eat the out-of-body spiritual objects like beans, it is impossible to enter the out-of-body state.
Chu Xuan said with some regret, "With your aptitude, it is actually possible for you to achieve the Out-of-Body Realm."
Gong Yue'e has extraordinary talent and a good character. Such a person will definitely have a chance to leave the body in time.
This has already surpassed the vast majority of Divine Transformation cultivators.
After all, many people who have attained the state of spiritual transformation are stuck in the early stages of spiritual transformation throughout their lives, let alone having a glimpse of the state of leaving the body.
Even a glimpse of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm is difficult.
Gong Yue'e's expression was firm. "My Lord, Yue'e was born and raised by my family. Now, of course, I must repay my family."
"I don't want to leave my body, becoming a spirit is enough for me."
"Thank you, Master, for your help."
As she spoke, she pushed her wheelchair forward and took the Soul-Replenishing Pill with both hands.
Gong Tianyang looked at Gong Yue'e with trembling face.
At the critical moment, unexpectedly, it was this child who took the responsibility.
"Go ahead," Chu Xuan waved his hand, "and call Li Yin over to me."
Shortly after the two left, Li Yin quickly came to Chang'an Pavilion and waited respectfully in front of Chu Xuan.
Compared to Gong Tianyang and Gong Yue'e, his face showed only excitement and joy.
After all, outsiders think that he is the direct descendant of Master Chu.
He thinks so too.
Now that Chu Xuan has become a True Lord, he naturally has to enjoy the good life as well.
Chu Xuan said casually, "I will not stay in the Dark Territory for long. I will choose a sect to join in the future."
"What are your plans?"
Li Yin was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Xuan to have such thoughts.
"Your subordinate...your subordinate..."
He frowned and thought, still unable to make a decision.
He has poor qualifications, and if he goes to the sect, he probably won't be treated well.
However, in this dark realm, he is the attendant of the True Lord, and even the Divine Transformation cultivators dare not show him any respect.
But if Chu Xuan wanted to leave and stayed here alone, he would no longer be the True Lord's attendant.
The gap between them really makes it difficult to make a decision.
After a while, he knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice, "My Lord, I know that I am dull and cannot always accompany you."
"I am willing to manage the business for the True Lord in the Dark Territory."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
Although Li Yin is smart and capable, his qualifications are average, even mediocre.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed with him for so long, and it would have been difficult for my realm to improve.
Until now, he is only at the sixth level of Nascent Soul.
Even the late Nascent Soul stage is difficult to enter.
Staying in the Dark Realm is a good thing for Li Yin.
Chu Xuan tapped the table lightly, looking thoughtful.
During the decades he has been in the Dark Realm, Li Yin has done a lot for him. He can be described as smart, capable, and loyal.
He thought to himself, "Then I won't kill him."
Henry Chu casually asked again, "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to stay in the Dark Territory?"
Li Yin nodded respectfully, "I understand."
"True Lord, you used the Five-layered Golden Wheel of Merit to dispel the Out-of-Body Tribulation. Coupled with your past identity, this will surely attract many people to secretly investigate."
"As your attendant, I am the focus of the investigation."
"But I don't know any of your secrets. Even if they are discovered, I won't mind. I won't harm the interests of the True Lord in the slightest."
He paused, then continued, "In other words, if someone really intended to search my soul and take my spirit, how would I be able to resist?"
Henry Chu chuckled, "You are quite smart."
In the time just now, Li Yin had actually figured everything out.
There is no need for him to say more.
Chu Xuan thought for a moment and threw over a Qiankun bag.
"There are several top-grade magic weapons and some medicinal pills here. I don't need them anymore, so you can keep them."
"Focus more on cultivation in the future and have less contact with women. You must at least reach the late stage of Yuanying."
Li Yin was overwhelmed with surprise and excitedly accepted the Qiankun bag. "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
Not to mention the magic weapons here, just this Qiankun bag is already a great reward.
The capacity of the Qiankun bag far exceeds that of the top-grade storage bag. This is a storage tool that only the Divine Transformation cultivators can possess!
Of course, although it is a spiritual weapon, it does not require too much spiritual power to activate it, so Nascent Soul cultivators can also use it.
"Go." Chu Xuan waved his hand.
"Yes!" Li Yin was very excited.
Chu Xuan flashed and appeared outside Yancheng.
Soon, a low black shadow came out of the forest and knelt respectfully in front of Chu Xuan.
"Congratulations, Master, for entering the Out-of-Body Realm!"
"My status is special, so it was difficult for me to show up at first. Now that I heard the True Lord's call, I rushed here. Please forgive me, True Lord."
This person is Shu Qi.
After Feng Chengjue's death, Shu Qi took over the affairs of the Kuangfeng Society and became the new leader of the Kuangfeng Society.
Despite the huge gap in strength, Shu Qi remained loyal and would send him intelligence gathered from all over the Dark Domain by the Kuangfeng Society every once in a while.
Henry Chu said casually, "I won't stay in the Dark Territory for long, you should know that."
Shu Qi gave a bitter laugh, "I already knew this. I came here today prepared to die."
Chu Xuanqi asked, "Then why did you come?"
Shu Qi sighed, "If the True Lord wanted to kill me, he could make the insect eggs hatch in a moment and kill me thousands of miles away."
"But the True Lord still summoned me here. I guess he wants to observe my performance and make a decision on the spot."
Henry Chu couldn't help but chuckle.
It really saves effort to talk to smart people.
Shu Qi took out a divine consciousness jade slip and presented it respectfully, "True Lord, this is what I got after I captured Situ Qing of the Earthly Immortal Palace alive."
"Situ Qing of the Earthly Immortal Palace, under orders from True Lord Qianhuan, travels the Northern Continent year-round, searching for the mystery of True Lord Ziying's breakthrough to the Out-of-Body Realm."
Chu Xuan took the spiritual jade slip in his palm and immediately smelled a faint fragrance.
"This scent... I remember it."
The image of a woman emerged in his mind.
During the Treasure Conference, he disguised himself and traded elixirs at Liuyun Tower.
During this time, I met a woman.
The fragrance on this spiritual jade slip is exactly the same as that woman's fragrance.
At that time, I thought it was just a trading partner.
If Shu Qi had not presented him with the jade slip of spiritual consciousness, he would never have imagined that the other party was someone from the Earth Immortal Palace who infiltrated the Northern Continent.
Shu Qi continued, "The Purple Shadow True Lord of the Baili family was originally just one of the Baili family's many Divine Transformation cultivators. His aptitude was above average, and no one thought he had the potential to achieve the Out-of-Body Realm."
"It just so happened that he was the one who entered the out-of-body state."
"The True Lord Qianhuan of the Earthly Immortal Palace felt suspicious and has been sending people to investigate."
"Now that the Baili family is no longer the overlord of the Northern Continent and its strength has been greatly reduced, Situ Qing may have secretly entered the Baili family and stolen this divine consciousness jade slip."
"I dare not examine it, so I offer it to you immediately."
Chu Xuan casually threw the jade slip of spiritual consciousness into the jade slip washing dish, and after confirming that there was no danger, he placed it between his eyebrows.
The mist formed distorted words that appeared in his mind.
"As expected... Dark Mist Technique..."
He chuckled.
Luo Zu had talked to him about the Dark Mist Technique before, saying that this technique could not be compared with the Falling Dragon Technique.
However, Luo Zu's words were from his own perspective.
But in Chu Xuan's opinion, the Dark Mist Technique also has its strengths.
Especially the technique of turning the body into mist and flying in all directions is quite good.
Henry Chu nodded slightly, "You did a great job."
He casually snapped his fingers and said, "The insect egg has melted on its own. From now on, there is no longer any master-servant relationship between you and me."
Shu Qi knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "What are you saying, Master? Once a servant, always a servant. I am still willing to serve you."
"The Dark Territory is a treasure land, especially the East Continent, where ancient objects often appear."
"I am willing to collect rare treasures for you. If you need them, I will send them to you."
"In addition, I will always pay attention to the Gong family and help the True Lord protect the Gong family."
Chu Xuan smiled slightly and patted Shu Qi's shoulder, "I am very pleased that you can do this."
…
One month later.
Chu Xuan watched the Wuya Academy ship sail away.
"Nine Nether Palace, Tianfu Sect, Yaoguang Cave Heaven, Dragon King Temple, Wuya Academy..."
"In addition to Wuya Academy, several level seven cultivation sects near the Dark Domain have come."
"Judging from the prices they offered, the highest prices were offered by the Jiuyou Palace and the Tianfu Sect."
"It seems that Jiuyou Palace is more suitable for me."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
The prices offered by other sects were lower, and the reasons could probably be guessed.
After all, he was an outsider and didn't know the whole story.
If you spend a lot of money to win them over, but they turn out not to be loyal to the sect, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house.
Such situations have occurred in the history of various sects, and we all learn from our mistakes.
At this time, Du'e and the other two suddenly came quickly.
Du'e first clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name, then he said respectfully, "Greetings to Master Chu."
Du Nan and Watanabe also followed suit and saluted, "Greetings to Master Chu."
Henry Chu smiled, "What's the important matter, three of you?"
Du'e said respectfully, "The three of us have stayed in the Dark Realm long enough, and we plan to continue traveling around the world."
"Before I leave, I hope to say goodbye to Master Chu."
"By the way, would Master Chu be willing to join my Wuxiang Dragon Temple?"
"Huh?" Chu Xuan was stunned.
The jump between these two sentences was so big that even Chu Xuan was a little surprised.
Du'e smiled, "Master Chu possesses such merits, which is unparalleled even in the Wuxiang Dragon Temple."
"Also, although Master Chu possesses such merits, he lacks the corresponding secret techniques. It's like having a fortune but being unable to use it."
"If Master Chu can enter the Wuxiang Dragon Temple, his future will surely be even brighter."
Du Nan and Watanabe both nodded, "Senior brother is right."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He really hasn't thought about this question.
Is Wuxiang Dragon Temple powerful?
One of the six sects of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance, a ninth-level cultivation sect, and one of the most powerful forces in this universe.
Of course it's strong!
But being strong means being surrounded by strong people.
The Taoist Master Lianxu can be seen everywhere, and the Taoist Master Hedao comes and goes. I'm afraid I can even catch a glimpse of the face of the Taoist Master Dujie.
Although it is impossible for the Lord of Tribulation to walk around outside easily, what if?
It might be a little difficult for him to hide this secret from being seen by the Lord of Tribulation.
He started out as a minor Qi-refining cultivator, possessing several magical techniques, yet he was able to advance to the out-of-body state naturally and even possessed a five-layer golden wheel of merit.
Isn't this clearly telling others that he has many secrets?
Taking the initiative to go to the Wuxiang Dragon Temple is tantamount to being completely exposed.
After thinking about it, Henry Chu shook his head, "I am used to being free and unrestrained, and I don't want to be bound to any place."
He thought Du'e would persuade him again.
Du'e nodded, "I understand. Master Chu must have some concerns."
"If Master Chu comes into contact with my Wuxiang Dragon Temple in the future, he will understand that the path to immortality in my Dragon Temple is impartial and merit is paramount."
"Master Chu, we'll meet again if fate allows."
The three of them bowed slightly to Chu Xuan, turned around and left.
After a while, he disappeared.
Henry Chu seemed to be thinking about something, and murmured, "Teaching without distinction, and merit is supreme?"
…
A few more days passed.
The Jiuyou Palace's ship appeared above Yancheng.
Zheng Yanshi and Shangguan Youlian flew down from the tower ship and appeared in front of Chu Xuan.
Shangguan Youlian bowed, "Greetings to Master Chu!"
Zheng Yanshi smiled faintly, "Welcome Fellow Daoist Chu back to Jiuyou Palace!"
"I knew that Fellow Daoist Chu is a nostalgic person."
Henry Chu laughed, "Yeah, Brother Zheng still understands me."
"Then, let's go?" Zheng Yanshi smiled.
Henry Chu nodded, "Before leaving, take one last look at Shen Anyu."
"That should be the case." Zheng Yanshi nodded.
Gong Tianyang, Gong Yue'e, and Li Yinqi appeared one after another and appeared under the ship.
All the cultivators in Yancheng said in unison, "Farewell, Master Chu!"
Chu Xuan let out a long chant, "The world is like floating clouds, gathering and dispersing, all in vain. Who can find the path to immortality? It lies in the first point."
The tower ship gradually rose higher, and soon Yancheng became a sesame dot, and the entire dark area was in sight.
He felt emotional.
I originally came to the Dark Realm just to escape the disaster, but I didn't expect to leave suddenly one day. I actually have some regrets about it.
He casually asked, "How long will it take?"
Zheng Yanshi nodded. "This place is quite far from the Xuanyin Star Region. We need to replenish supplies on several cultivation stars along the way."
"It will probably take three months."
Chu Xuan nodded. "I've been in the Dark Realm for quite some time, so I don't know much about the outside world. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zheng has time to talk to me?"
Zheng Yanshi laughed, "Of course I have time!"
…
Yancheng.
Gong Yue'e looked up at the sky and murmured, "He's gone... The True Lord is really gone..."
Gong Tianyang's figure became more and more hunched. "Yes, after I leave, our Gong family will have to rely on ourselves from now on."
Gong Yue'e said solemnly, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I won't let the family down."
In all places in the southern and northern parts of the Dark Territory, every Divine Transformation cultivator stood on high places, gazing at the departing ship from afar, each with his or her own plans in mind.
With Chu Xuan, the True Lord who has reached the state of Out-of-Body Realm, in charge, there will be no chaos anywhere. He is order and his words are the will.
But once Chu Xuan left, the only order was gone, and the Dark Domain was bound to usher in a new round of reshuffle.
…
After March.
The building ship arrived at Jiuyou Star in Xuanyin Star Region.
Chu Xuan walked out of the cabin and looked at the star below his feet.
Jiuyou Star is the main star of Jiuyou Palace, but like most stars in cultivation, it is composed of blue and green.
However, the ocean of Jiuyou Star occupies the majority.
Countless islands are scattered across the ocean, forming countless sects of cultivation.
The main hall of Jiuyou Palace is located on the largest island of Jiuyou Star.
There are no other islands within hundreds of thousands of miles around.
The ship is anchored in the sky.
Someone came up to take him away immediately.
She was a graceful woman.
She smiled sweetly and saw Henry Chu at a glance.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Chu, right? Old Zheng passed the news back a long time ago."
"My Jiuyou Palace has gained another out-of-body elder. This is a great joy."
"Upon hearing this news, the ancestor was delighted for several days and planned to organize a grand out-of-body experience celebration for you, Elder Chu!"
Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "Daoyou?"
Zheng Yanshi immediately introduced, "This is Pan Mingzhu, another out-of-body elder from my Jiuyou Palace."
"We are the only two who have achieved Out-of-Body Experience in the Nine Nether Palace all year round."
Chu Xuan nodded when he heard this.
People like Zheng Yanshi and Pan Mingzhu were born and raised in the sect, and are direct descendants of the Jiuyou Palace.
Moreover, they are not too old, their potential has not been exhausted, and there is still room for improvement.
Of course, there are more than just these two people who have achieved out-of-body experience in Jiuyou Palace.
Looking at the Jiuyou Palace, there are still many level six cultivation sects.
Every sixth-level sect has a cultivator who has reached the out-of-body state in charge.
But most of those cultivators are in the early stage of out-of-body experience, and there is almost no room for further breakthroughs.
In addition, the Jiuyou Palace also has out-of-body cultivators fighting in Xuling Mountain.
Pan Mingzhu smiled, "Fellow Daoist Chu, please follow me."
"The ancestor has already come out of seclusion. He has wanted to see you for a long time."
Henry Chu smiled and nodded.
A moment later, Pan Mingzhu brought Henry Chu to the back of the hall.
There are three long mahogany tables here.
The first long table was filled with various rare ingredients.
There is still dew on the leafy vegetables.
The monster meat is even frozen by frost to ensure its freshness.
In addition, there are various mushrooms and rhizomes, some of which even Chu Xuan cannot name.
On the second long table are various kitchen utensils.
Woks, steamers, knives... everything is available.
Henry Chu took a quick glance and knew that these kitchen utensils were made of high-quality metals.
All of these kitchen utensils are spiritual tools.
But its power is naturally greatly reduced compared to a real spiritual weapon.
After all, they were not designed for fighting, but for cooking.
On the third long table, there was a dish.
The white lotus root is crystal clear, and the red meat is ripe, tender and mellow.
Chu Xuan nodded repeatedly as he watched, thinking that this spiritual food must be delicious in color, aroma and taste.
At this moment, an old man with white beard was busy in front of the stove.
The wok was shaking with great enthusiasm.
The control of spiritual fire is perfect.
If you don't know him, you might think he is just an ordinary chef.
Chu Xuan had long known about the unique hobby of this Lord of the Underworld, so he did not say anything. Instead, he waited quietly like Pan Mingzhu, Zheng Yanshi, and Shangguan Youlian.
After a while, the new dish came out of the pot.
Lord Yuwen Chi of the Underworld laughed heartily. "Great, great! I didn't expect that after nearly a hundred years of seclusion, my cooking skills are still as good as ever!"
"Come on, come on, come and try this new dish!"
Zheng Yanshi said respectfully, "Old Ancestor, Fellow Daoist Chu has just returned from the Dark Realm. He should be the first to enjoy these new dishes."
Pan Mingzhu and Shangguan Youlian both nodded in agreement, "That makes sense!"
Yuwen Chi nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense!"
Chu Xuan looked at the new dish that looked and smelled delicious, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He said in a deep voice, "Since this is a new dish created by our ancestor, it should be shared with everyone. How can I enjoy it alone?"
Yu Wenchi was stunned, stroking his chin and nodding, "That makes sense."
Zheng Yanshi, Pan Mingzhu and Shangguan Youlian were all anxious.
Pan Mingzhu immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Chu has been exhausted from the journey and hasn't had a bite of spiritual food in a long time."
"It's only natural that Fellow Daoist Chu should enjoy this new dish first."
"It's okay for me to wait quietly."
Chu Xuan immediately shook his head. "The way of a sect is to share. If someone always wants to keep everything for themselves, it will definitely breed resentment."
"Brother Pan, what you said is to put me in an unjust position!"
Both sides hold their own opinions and there is no final conclusion.
Yuwen Chi waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing! I've decided, everyone eats!"
After a while, Henry Chu and the others each took a bite.
After eating, Chu Xuan finally understood what it meant to have a delicious taste with all the colors, aromas and flavors!
That is to say, this dish, if it is not unpalatable, is quite delicious.
I don't know how this Lord of the Underworld cooked so many natural treasures into this dark dish.
"At least it looks good, it's not completely useless." Chu Xuan comforted himself.
Yu Wenchi looked at everyone and nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that this new dish is very good. Everyone's reaction is very good."
"This old ancestor intends to promote this new dish and have all the disciples in the sect come and try it. What do you think?"
Zheng Yanshi hurriedly said, "Ancestor, this dish uses a lot of natural treasures. If it is popularized, I am afraid it will consume a lot of treasures."
Pan Mingzhu and Shangguan Youlian both nodded, "Yes, yes."
Yuwen Chi rubbed his chin, "It seems to make some sense."
Then he sighed, "What a pity for my superb cooking skills."
"You two go back, Chu Xuan and You Lian stay."
Zheng Yanshi and Pan Mingzhu bowed and retreated.
Shangguan Youlian stood next to Yuwen Chi.
Yuwen Chi looked Chu Xuan up and down for a few times, and suddenly asked, "Chu Xuan! You have all the magic skills, how did you cultivate such a golden wheel of merit!"
"Tell me, what secret do you have?"
Chu Xuan had anticipated this and immediately said, "Lord Dao, although I practice the magic path, I never treat mortals as straw dogs."
"For example, when practicing the Way of Blood, Chu would use the blood of monsters as a guide."
"As for the White Bone Path, Chu will go to the mass grave to collect bones."
"As for the ghost path, Chu will also go to those ancient battlefields to find suitable lonely ghosts to train."
"While doing these things, Chu also dealt with a lot of evil demons, which is quite a small merit."
Yuwen Chi stared at Chu Xuan for a long time.
But Chu Xuan showed no fear. He just tilted his neck and looked at Yuwen Chi calmly.
He has even seen fierce men who can eat Lianxu alive.
Why should I be afraid of the condescending gaze of Taoist Master Lianxu?
After a long time, Yuwen Chi retracted his gaze and smiled gently, "It's just a routine inquiry, no need to worry about it."
"You practice the devil's way, yet possess remarkable merits. Everyone is curious about you. This is also the case with me."
Henry Chu nodded.
Yuwen Chi said casually, "Tell me, do you want to stay in Jiuyou Star, or do you plan to lead your own territory?"
If they stayed in Jiuyou Palace, they would be like Zheng Yanshi and Pan Mingzhu.
To lead a region, one must be stationed in various sixth-level cultivation sects.
In Chu Xuan's view, there was no doubt about this decision.
Chu Xuan bowed and said, "Old Ancestor, I am willing to lead the area myself."
Shangguan Youlian unfolded a star map, "Elder Chu, my Nine Nether Palace now controls a total of six level six sects."
"They are Burning Fire Valley, Five Phoenix Mountain, Blood Cloud Alliance, Sky Poison Sect, Great Imperial Dragon Sect, and Heaven Shaking Divine Sect."
"These six sixth-level sects are now guarded by out-of-body ancestors."
"However, the lifespans of Master Feng of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect and Master Han Tian of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect are nearing the end of their lives. Elder Chu is willing to take over whichever one."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
He nodded at the Great Imperial Dragon Sect and said, "The Great Imperial Dragon Sect is good. I am willing to guard this place."
A strange light flashed in Yuwen Chi's eyes, but he didn't show it. "That's fine. The territory of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect is the heartland of my Jiuyou Palace. It's rich in resources. I can rest assured with you stationed there."
Chu Xuan bowed, "Old Ancestor, before heading to the Great Imperial Dragon Sect, I want to go back to the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect first."
Yuwen Chi laughed heartily, "It seems you are a nostalgic person."
"Youlian, take Dahei with you and go with Chu Xuan. Bring Feng Yi back with you."
"He's old now, and it's time for him to spend his remaining years in Jiuyou Star."
Feng Yi is the True Lord Feng from the Great Dragon Sect who is nearing the end of his life.
Shangguan Youlian nodded, "Yes."
"Ancestor, I want to ask about the matter of Xu Ling Mountain." Chu Xuan suddenly said.
Yuwen Chi smiled and said, "The matter of Xuling Mountain is not a secret that needs to be hidden."
"You've already left your body, so you should understand."
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Chu Xuan said in a deep voice, "Where is Xu Ling Mountain? Why should we go to defend it? Who is the enemy? When should I go?"
Yuwen Chi said casually, "You should have been to the extraterritorial battlefield a few times. Xuling Mountain is an extraterritorial battlefield, but it is extremely large and vast, and its location is also extremely important, so it is independent and forms its own domain."
"Its true size is hundreds of times larger than the Dark Realm."
He paused, then continued, "The reason we're stationed here is to fight against a formidable enemy. Since the founding of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, countless people have surrendered to Xuling Mountain, and even many Hedao Tianjuns have died in battle there. You can imagine how terrifying this formidable enemy is."
"As for the enemy... they are a large and diverse group. The Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance has already collected and compiled detailed information about them. We will give it to you when you arrive at Xuling Mountain. Telling you now will only increase your anxiety."
Yuwen Chi smiled and said, "The last question is the most important to cultivators like me."
"I can tell you an exact time."
"Since the day you entered the Out-of-Body Realm, you have been registered with the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance. Even if you change your appearance, you cannot escape this responsibility."
"Three hundred years from now, you must go to Xuling Mountain to guard it. Of course, you can also request to go earlier."
"Every out-of-body cultivator must go to Xuling Mountain to guard it at least once in their lifetime, and the guarding time must be no less than five hundred years."
Yu Wenchi smiled and said, "You still have a lot of time to improve yourself, so there's no need to worry."
Henry Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Three hundred years, converted into the time in the Mirror of the Heavens, is a full three thousand years.
That's definitely enough.
"Thank you for telling me, ancestor." Chu Xuan then bowed and said goodbye.
