After he left, Shangguan Youlian asked, "Ancestor, why didn't Elder Chu choose the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect? He has many acquaintances there."
Yuwen Chi smiled, "This is exactly where Chu Xuan is smart. He deliberately didn't choose the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect."
He said leisurely, "The Heaven Shaking Sect is close to the territory of Sea God Island. Now that Sea God Island has collapsed, all parties will fight for it. Chu Xuan needs to retreat and does not want to get involved. This is one reason."
Shangguan Youlian pressed on, "What about the second one?"
Yuwen Chi smiled, "As you said, the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect is where Chu Xuan grew up. There are too many acquaintances there. Chu Xuan only needs to raise his arm and call for help, and countless people will respond."
"If one day Chu Xuan wants to leave Jiuyou Palace, there is a high possibility that Hantian Divine Sect will follow him."
Shangguan Youlian suddenly understood, "That's why Elder Chu chose the Great Imperial Dragon Sect specifically to show that he has no other intentions."
Yuwen Chi clapped his hands lightly, "Exactly, he is a smart man."
"There are many who have achieved success in spiritual practice. There are also many wise people."
"But there are very few intelligent people who have achieved success in their practice."
"It is a great honor for my Jiuyou Palace to have this person."
Shangguan Youlian nodded in agreement.
On the martial arts field.
Chu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.
Shangguan Youlian strode out and said respectfully, "Elder Chu, please wait a moment. I will go and bring Dahei over."
Henry Chu nodded.
A moment later, a huge black shadow fell from the sky.
The monks around all moved away, fearing that they would be hit by the black shadow.
Chu Xuan looked up and immediately saw a huge black centipede.
The shell reflects a cold and hard light under the sunlight.
Hundreds of feet are like sharp razors.
There is always thick miasma lingering around its body, which is obviously extremely poisonous.
Shangguan Youlian said loudly, "Elder Chu, come up!"
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, stepped lightly on the ground, and prepared to jump into the air.
But the giant centipede lay on the ground respectfully.
A pair of small eyes looked at Henry Chu, full of awe.
Chu Xuan chuckled and strode out from the giant centipede's back.
Shangguan Youlian let out a sigh in her heart.
Dahei has always been very tough, and any stranger who wants to come up to him will be intimidated by him.
She had a close relationship with this out-of-body spirit beast, so she was able to calm its emotions and let others come up.
Why did he lie down on his own initiative this time, and even showed a flattering look?
You know, before, Dahei only behaved like this in front of her.
Chu Xuan was also surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it should be related to the Sky Cave.
The boundary between monsters and poisonous insects is not so clear.
For example, this giant centipede, some people think it is a monster, while others think it is a poisonous insect.
Perhaps because Tianku is so powerful and possesses the organs of several kinds of demon insects, it is naturally capable of suppressing other poisonous insects.
The giant centipede then showed a flattering attitude.
At this time, a voice sounded, "I am Wei Junjie, honored to meet Elder Chu."
Chu Xuan looked up and saw another person on the back of the giant centipede.
This man has a handsome face and a straight figure, and he is born with a good appearance.
Shangguan Youlian introduced, "He is also quite close to Dahei. He is the one who feeds Dahei on weekdays."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
He is just an early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, there is no need to pay too much attention to him.
Wei Junjie bowed his head humbly, "Elder Chu, congratulations on your journey to the Out-of-Body Realm. When you disappeared, I spoke ill of you. Please punish me."
As he said that, he knelt down on one knee.
Henry Chu then looked at him twice more and chuckled.
He didn't know what bad things this person had said about him, but this person still took the initiative to admit his mistake.
This shows that this person is quite smart.
Henry Chu waved his hand casually, "Watch your mouth from now on."
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you Elder Chu for your forgiveness!" Wei Junjie was obviously relieved.
The news of Chu Xuan's return had already spread in Jiuyou Palace.
Who would dare to offend such a promising True Lord?
Only then did he come over quickly to admit his mistake.
To prevent someone from exposing this matter in the future.
By then, my situation will probably be even more difficult.
Shangguan Youlian patted the giant centipede's head and said, "Dahei, let's go."
The big guy shook his tentacles, then took off into the air and leaped into the vast sea of stars.
…
A few days later.
A giant centipede appeared outside the Heaven-shaking Star.
The leader of the Hantian Divine Sect, Nan Tianhao, the incarnation cultivator Zhou Shuntian, Shang Xingchen, the Blood Wine Master and others were all waiting here early.
Seeing the giant centipede appear, Nan Tianhao immediately said in a loud voice, "The Heaven-shaking Divine Sect welcomes the True Lord!"
"We are waiting to welcome the True Lord!"
A series of voices followed, like the roar of mountains and seas.
Henry Chu glanced at these familiar faces and smiled for the first time in a long time.
He said loudly, "No need to be so polite, let's go to the sect hall to talk."
A moment later, in the main hall of Hantian Divine Sect.
Chu Xuan sat at the top seat.
Next to him is the elderly and aged Master Hantian of the Hantian Sect.
Below them are Shangguan Youlian, Nan Tianhao and others.
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Fellow Daoist Hantian is still as elegant as ever."
Heaven Shaking Master laughed heartily, "I am old, and cannot compare to a young man like Fellow Daoist Chu."
"When we met that year, I could never have imagined that Fellow Daoist Chu would one day be able to enter the Out-of-Body State. It is truly beyond my expectations."
Henry Chu smiled, "It was just luck."
Nan Tianhao suddenly asked, "I wonder if the True Lord, after returning to the Nine Nether Palace, will stay in the Upper Sect or lead his own faction?"
The others also looked at him curiously.
Especially those who are familiar with Chu Xuan.
Everyone knew that the time had come for True Lord Hantian to pass, so they naturally preferred an acquaintance like Chu Xuan to guard the Hantian Divine Sect.
Otherwise, if True Lord Hantian dies in the future, the Jiuyou Palace will send a stranger who has reached the state of out-of-body experience to take charge.
Most people like things that are familiar to them and dislike things that are unfamiliar to them.
Even if they have already become Divine Transformation cultivators, they still have this mentality.
Henry Chu looked at everyone's gaze and shook his head slightly, "I have decided to guard the Great Imperial Dragon Sect."
Everyone sighed inwardly.
Then they chatted for a long time.
Heaven-shaking Master coughed lightly and said, "I am old now, so I will go back for now."
Chu Xuan glanced around and said with a smile, "Xingchen, your realm has skyrocketed over the past few decades. Now you are almost entering the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
Shang Xingchen smiled and said, "It was just luck."
"Ever since the disappearance of the True Lord, Xingchen has lost someone with whom he can regularly practice, and the art of poison has declined significantly."
Chu Xuan smiled slightly and asked about the situation of Wuji Tianzong.
He suddenly thought of Li Qingshan, Huang Feihu and the others, and asked casually, "By the way, how are those guys doing now?"
Shang Xingchen smiled and said, "Both are good. Li Qingshan has achieved success in the Golden Core stage and is now in the late Golden Core stage."
"Huang Feihu has also entered the Golden Core Stage a while ago."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
These two people have good talents. Now that decades have passed, if they still can't improve, it would be a shame to his teachings.
On the Shaking Sky Star.
Shang Xingchen, Zhou Shuntian, Xuejiu Zhenren and others watched the giant centipede leap into the air and gradually fly away.
I can't help feeling a little empty inside.
Nan Tianhao sighed, "Now that the True Lord has passed away, I'm still a little dazed. I never expected that fifty or sixty years would pass, and he would suddenly become a True Lord... It really is a matter of time, luck, and fate."
Zhou Shuntian was also filled with emotion, "Yes, who would have thought that he could be promoted to True Lord so quickly? This speed really makes us ashamed."
True Man Xuejiu scratched his head, "Fellow Daoist Chu, ah no, why doesn't True Lord Chu guard the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect?"
"I really don't understand."
Shang Xingchen said calmly, "Of course it's for the sake of proving allegiance."
"The True Lord has a vast network of connections within the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect. It just so happens that the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect was incorporated into the Nine Nether Palace within the past hundred years, making it different from the other sixth-level sects."
"If he chose to guard the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, it would inevitably attract unnecessary suspicion, so he simply chose another sect."
Blood Wine Master scratched his head, "I see..."
He suddenly whispered, "Xingchen, what did you say to the True Lord in private just now?"
Shang Xingchen smiled slightly, "Secret."
…
On the back of the giant centipede.
Chu Xuan looked at the Heaven-shaking Star from afar, feeling somewhat emotional.
Shangguan Youlian smiled and said, "Elder Chu, it's not too late for you to regret now. If you change your mind and want to guard the Hantian Divine Sect, the ancestor will definitely fulfill your wish."
Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need. People always have to take a new step. Going to the Great Imperial Dragon Sect is not bad either."
Shangguan Youlian nodded.
Chu Xuan sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested, but the words that Shang Xingchen had said to him in private before leaving Hantian Star emerged in his mind.
Shang Xingchen has been investigating the disappearance of Huangquan Taoist Sect's ancestral land, "Huangquan Mountain".
The investigation has not stopped in the past fifty or sixty years.
But it was fruitless.
Just when Shang Xingchen was about to give up the idea.
Suddenly, there was some clue.
Just a few years ago, the Nixue Mountain of the Tiandu Blood Alliance was also taken away and mysteriously disappeared.
Huangquan Mountain is just one of them.
Therefore, we can guess that Huangquan Mountain and Nixue Mountain are indeed very likely to be part of some ancient treasure.
Someone may want to fully restore this treasure.
Shang Xingchen hoped that Chu Xuan would pay attention to this matter and inform him if he encountered any further situations.
As a reward, Shang Xingchen told him another thing.
The people from the Hun Tian Zhan Sect had conducted investigations in the Broken Star Sea, Cang Xuan Star, and Han Tian Star.
The subject of the investigation is Chu Xuan.
It was obvious that Hun Tian Zhan Zong noticed something.
"The Hun Tian Zhan Sect, along with the Wu Xiang Dragon Temple and the Kun Lun Sword Sect, is one of the six sects of the Tian Dao Immortal Alliance."
"A dignified ninth-level cultivation sect is actually starting to pay attention to me... This is not a good thing."
"They didn't come looking for me directly before, probably because I disappeared, but now that I've returned in a high-profile manner, I'm afraid they will come looking for me..."
Chu Xuan was worried.
It's impossible for him to suddenly disappear again now.
If someone from the Huntian War Sect comes knocking on our door, how should we respond?
He had heard that the people of the Huntian War Sect were all absolute body-refining fanatics.
It is no exaggeration to say that the brain is full of muscles.
This kind of person will definitely not reason with him.
…
A few days later.
Dragon Star.
When the giant centipede landed, a large number of monks were already waiting.
After Chu Xuan and his group landed, the Divine Transformation cultivators of the Dayulong Sect saluted respectfully and called them True Lord.
Chu Xuan had just arrived and didn't know the situation of the Dayulong Sect, so he didn't say much nonsense.
After chatting with him for a while, Master Feng of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect boarded the giant centipede and left with Shangguan Youlian and the others.
Dayulong Sect, inside the sect hall.
Chu Xuan sat at the top seat.
The Divine Transformation cultivators were on both sides.
The female cultivator on the left said loudly, "We are here to pay our respects to the ancestor!"
The other Jindan cultivators followed suit and half-knelt down.
Although they were unwilling to have the upper sect send down an out-of-body ancestor, Master Feng's time was up after all, and they could not resist the upper sect's orders.
Now we must show enough respect to this new out-of-body true master.
Henry Chu looked at the female cultivator and said casually, "You must be Ling Xueying, right? Master Feng told me about you before he left."
Before leaving, Master Feng explained all the important matters.
Among them, Ling Xueying was mentioned in particular.
He also said that all the trivial matters of the sect could be handed over to Ling Xueying, and her ability and strength were enough to handle it.
Ling Xueying's appearance can only be considered above average, but her figure is slim, especially her slender waist, which is very impressive.
Ling Xueying bowed and said, "Grandmaster, that's right."
Chu Xuan said casually, "I'm new here and not familiar with the affairs of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect. Please have someone summarize the recent situation of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect and hand it over to me."
Ling Xueying took a few steps forward and presented a divine consciousness jade slip with both hands, "Ancestor, we are ready. Everything is here."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, he likes capable people.
In this way, he can fully demonstrate his hands-off nature.
Ling Xueying added, "Also, there are several caves near the Zhushan Spiritual Vein. You can choose any one."
"Master used to live in Xuanfeng Mountain. There are also Lingzhu Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, Bailu Mountain, etc."
As she spoke, she unfolded a map.
The Zhushan spiritual vein is the mountain range where the Dayulong Sect is based.
The richness of the spiritual energy is now shown on the map and presented in front of Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan took a quick glance and saw seven or eight ready-made caves.
Henry Chu said casually, "Let's go to Lingzhu Mountain. I'm not picky about cave dwellings."
Ling Xueying nodded respectfully, "Okay."
"I'll have someone clean the cave and welcome the ancestor."
Chu Xuan then spoke to other Jindan cultivators, and after memorizing their names, strengths, and experiences, he left.
After he left, the elders of the Dayulong Sect who had reached the state of Divine Transformation began to whisper to each other.
"This True Lord Chuqiao is really young. He doesn't seem to be much older than us, right?"
"I heard that this True Lord Chu made his fortune in the Wuji Tianzong of the Hantian Divine Sect. The disciples he trained were all more powerful than the last. Now that he has come to our Great Yulong Sect, he will surely help the sect to stand firm."
"Yes, yes. The overall strength of the sect has increased, and we can now be proud when talking to monks from other sects!"
The Great Imperial Dragon Sect is located in the heart of the Nine Nether Palace and has not been in any danger for thousands of years. Naturally, the elders and disciples of the sect have become a little slack.
Now that a powerful out-of-body ancestor has parachuted in, they naturally hope to bring some new trends.
Ling Xueying said calmly, "Do you all know what the sect rules are that Master Chu enforces in the Wuji Tianzong?"
"What?" The other Divine Transformation cultivators were puzzled.
Ling Xueying said quietly, "He set a deadline. Anyone who hasn't reached the corresponding realm by the time the deadline is up will be thrown into places like the Ten Thousand Corpse Valley to serve as training material for other disciples."
"It is precisely because of this that the disciples of the Wuji Tianzong practice diligently, so that their strength can surpass that of other fifth-level cultivation sects and be far ahead."
"I wonder if our new ancestor will also bring the Wuji Tianzong's sect rules to the Dayulong Sect..."
After saying this, everyone's eyes widened.
Lingzhu Mountain.
Chu Xuan circled over the mountain for a long time and finally reached the mountainside.
There is a large courtyard here.
There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers.
It has all the necessary facilities, including training room, weapon refining room, alchemy room, etc.
Chu Xuan was quite satisfied with what he saw.
Especially the surrounding bamboo forest, rustling in the breeze, is refreshing.
Chu Xuan landed lightly without raising any dust.
At this time, the disciples of the Dayulong Sect were still busy cleaning the cave.
Seeing Chu Xuan appear, they all showed awe and called him ancestor.
Chu Xuan showed a warm smile, "No need to be so polite, practicing well in the future will be the greatest contribution to the sect."
The disciples were relieved when they saw that the new ancestor was so approachable.
They were particularly worried that the person sent by the upper sect would be a stern and solemn old ancestor.
"The old man looks so young, and so kind and gentle! He's obviously a very easygoing person!"
"Yes, yes! It seems that our good days are still ahead!"
"Ancestor Feng is quite good, but the sect rules he set are a bit too harsh. I hope the new Ancestor can be more lenient."
The disciples were cleaning and whispering to each other.
Both words express anticipation for future life.
Henry Chu listened to all these voices and couldn't help but chuckle.
There is a saying that is true.
Good days are indeed yet to come.
After a while, the yard was cleaned.
The disciples saluted Chu Xuan one after another before leaving respectfully.
As Chu Xuan walked into the courtyard, he immediately began to set up the formation.
A moment later, the entire Lingzhu Mountain was shrouded in a light mist.
Anyone who wants to break into this mountain will be surrounded by formations and trapped in a foggy maze, unable to get out.
Unless they are those who have high attainments in formation.
Of course, Chu Xuan has other preparations to deal with people with profound attainments in formation.
Various mazes and killing arrays are enough to give those daring trespassers a hard time.
Only after the formation was properly arranged did Chu Xuan nod with satisfaction.
In this way, he can settle down in the Dayulong Sect.
He casually picked up the white jade turtle and threw it into the large pool in the yard.
When the white jade turtle arrived at a new environment, it was so scared that it immediately retracted its head into its shell and sank to the bottom on the spot, not daring to show its head for a moment.
Henry Chu chuckled and shook his head.
This guy is really timid.
He took a step forward and returned to the Giant Star Jiyin Cave, and immediately took out two Qiankun bags.
This is exactly the Qiankun bag of True Lord Qianhuan and True Lord Ziying.
I didn't have much time to check it before, but now that things have settled down, I have time to open it.
During the few months on the Jiuyou Palace ship, he had erased the mark of spiritual consciousness on the Qiankun bag.
Now he directly probed his spiritual consciousness into it.
"A lot of spirit stones."
"The pills are pretty good too."
"There are so many spiritual weapons? There are eight mid-grade spiritual weapons and two high-grade spiritual weapons! Not bad!"
Chu Xuan showed a look of joy.
Generally speaking, out-of-body cultivators use high-grade and top-grade spiritual weapons.
Most of the spiritual weapons he has are of mid-grade quality.
If you want to upgrade to the highest quality, you have to take the trouble to collect all kinds of natural treasures and refine them into it.
Now I have obtained two top-grade spiritual weapons for free, which is a great thing.
He had previously learned a course on "The Melting Pot Sutra".
It records the method of melting two spiritual weapons and combining them into one.
This method is quite wild and reckless, and places great emphasis on the attainments in the art of weapons.
And even if you have profound attainments, it still depends on luck.
It is often possible that even if more than a dozen spiritual weapons are combined into one, it may not be successful even once.
However, he had always had some luck, and he had previously succeeded in smelting using the melting pot method.
Now that True Lord Qianhuan and True Lord Ziying are so hospitable and have given him so many spiritual weapons, isn't this a good opportunity to smelt them again?
If I'm luckier, I might be able to create a top-grade spiritual weapon!
He did not intend to use the top-grade spiritual weapons of Qianhuan and Ziying.
The reason is very simple.
When he uses something that has been used by someone else, it is natural that he cannot use it as easily as the original one.
It's better to go back to the drawing board and start over.
Chu Xuan carefully selected from these spiritual weapons.
Finally, two spiritual weapons were selected.
One of them is a mid-grade spiritual attack weapon made from a rhinoceros skull.
If spiritual power is injected into it, a savage giant rhinoceros will appear and attack the enemy.
The second one is a glass lampshade, which is also a mid-grade attack spiritual weapon.
Activating this treasure before casting a spell can enhance the power of fire-attribute spells.
These two spiritual weapons happen to have a high compatibility with the White Dragon and the Blue Nether Lamp respectively.
Chu Xuan planned to melt them two by two.
Although the "Smelting Sutra" is a wild, reckless and imaginative smelting method, it also requires attention to the compatibility of properties.
Obviously, the attacking spiritual weapons and the defensive spiritual weapons have a high degree of compatibility with each other.
There is a high degree of compatibility between spiritual weapons of various attributes.
There is a high degree of compatibility between spiritual weapons made of the same material.
If two spiritual weapons with poor compatibility were forcibly melted together, the only possible result would be the complete destruction of both spiritual weapons.
Not only did he lose the wife, but he also lost his army.
Chu Xuan was unwilling to bear that result.
He waved his hand, and the Netherworld Devouring Flame exploded, "Begin refining!"
…
When Chu Xuan was refining the spiritual weapon.
In the vast sea of stars, a strong figure crossed the galaxy and headed straight for Yulong Star.
There weren't many traces of spiritual power on this person, and he actually relied entirely on his physical body to cross the starry sky.
He is really fierce and domineering.
At this moment, a figure shrouded in starlight suddenly appeared in front of him.
An old voice rang out from the starlight, "Nian Ziman, go back. This man has no secrets."
The sturdy man frowned. He instantly felt that the other party's strength might be above his.
But the Hun Tian Zhan Zong never retreated when faced with an opponent.
"I hate the people from the Wanxing Immortal Palace, get out of here!"
As he said that, he punched Xingguang.
However, the starlight suddenly burst out, and his punch hit nothing.
He looked around, but the starlight had already appeared behind him.
The old voice sounded again, "Dian Ziman, the eighth clone of the Fallen Ancestor has just broken out of the blockade of Kunlun Sword Sect's Douzhan Tianjun and others."
"Haven't you always wanted to capture the eighth clone?"
"Now is a great time to pick peaches."
Noriko was stunned, "Really?"
A divine jade slip shot out from the starlight, "The information is all on it, take a look for yourself."
Noriko said dissatisfiedly, "I don't cultivate my spiritual sense, so I can't see it."
The voice in the starlight was silent for a moment, "I had forgotten about this."
No one knew what he did, but an illusory scene suddenly unfolded in front of Dian Ziman.
It was the scene of Luo Zu breaking out of the Dark Realm and breaking through the blockade of Douzhan Tianjun and others.
Dian Ziman glanced at Xingguang deeply, "Wanxing Immortal Palace also wants to investigate Chu Xuan?"
The old voice laughed and said, "I've said before, Henry Chu has no secrets, no one should investigate."
Dian Ziman snorted coldly, and after a while he said, "Okay."
He turned around and walked away, and disappeared in a moment.
The figure stood there for a moment, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Noriko Man had left.
The figure retracted the starlight, revealing the appearance of a girl of about eleven or twelve years old.
She smiled slyly, "Hehe, what Master gave me is really useful. The aura of a Void Refining Great Cultivator that I imitated is so real!"
"But it's just that the Hun Tian Zhan Sect's brawny guys are just dumb. If it were someone from another sect, they probably wouldn't be fooled by me..."
Only then did she fly towards Yulong Star.
As he flew, he murmured, "The elders have been searching for the newborn spirit of the Black Tortoise Seal for tens of thousands of years, but they still can't find any trace of it."
"This Chu Xuan had just arrived in the Dark Realm not long ago, and he got that new weapon spirit from somewhere."
"And that new spirit is willing to follow Chu Xuan. Could it be that he is the new master of the Xuanwu Seal?"
She thought for a long time before shaking her head repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible. The Black Tortoise Seal is an ancient treasure. Even several Celestial Sovereigns found it difficult to tame it."
"Even if a new spirit is born now, it's impossible to just find someone to recognize it."
"How did Chu Xuan gain the recognition of the new weapon spirit? I really want to know..."
…
Three years later.
Chu Xuan exhaled lightly, looked at the two shining spiritual weapons in front of him, and showed a long-lost smile.
Both refining attempts were successful.
The power of White Dragon has increased a little.
The Qingming Lamp has been upgraded even more, directly entering the ranks of mid-grade spiritual weapons.
Chu Xuan was a little regretful, "It's a pity that a mid-grade attack spiritual weapon is difficult to improve Bailongzhe. I will need to refine more compatible mid-grade spiritual weapons in the future."
He estimated that he would need to refine four or five mid-grade spiritual artifacts before he could upgrade it to the level of a top-grade spiritual artifact.
This will definitely take a lot of time.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, everything is stable now.
There is plenty of time to smelt spiritual weapons.
Chu Xuan took a step forward and returned to Lingzhu Mountain.
The reason he came back this time was to promulgate new sect rules and rectify the atmosphere of the Dayulong Sect.
The Great Yulong Sect is located in the heart of the Xuanyin Star Region, with almost no danger around it, so everyone from the elders to the disciples are quite lazy.
That won't work.
If any trouble comes, the Great Dragon Sect will have no power to resist, and he, the ancestor who has reached the state of out-of-body experience, will have to take action.
Once or twice is fine.
If this happens again and again, wouldn't it delay his practice?
Therefore, it is imperative to enhance the overall strength of the Dayulong Sect.
"Hmm? There's a voice transmission?"
As soon as Chu Xuan returned to Lingzhu Mountain, he saw a sound transmission note flying around in the formation like a headless fly.
He grabbed it in the palm of his hand.
A neutral voice was heard from among them.
"I helped you drive away the people from the Hun Tian Zhan Sect. Will you come and meet me?"
"I'll be waiting for you at the top of Mount Zhu."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
He turned around and stepped into the Mirror of the Heavens and returned to the Giant Star.
See you?
What a joke.
You don't even want to introduce yourself, why should I see you?
Who knows if it might be a trap.
After returning to the Jiyin Cave on the Giant Star, he continued to concentrate on refining spiritual weapons.
Qian Huan and Zi Ying generously funded a wide variety of spiritual weapons this time.
Although there is only one spiritual weapon that is compatible with Bailong.
But there are also spiritual weapons that are compatible with the Soul-Killing Lock, the Blood Demon Pot, and the White Bone Monument.
They can all be smelted.
Every bit of improvement counts.
In addition, he had just entered the out-of-body state, so he had to learn a few out-of-body spells as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you are still using spells from the Spirit Transformation Stage, the power will be greatly reduced.
So many things haven't been done.
Who has the time to meet with someone whose background and abilities are unknown?
…
The top of Mount Zhu.
The girl sat quietly, shrouded in the faint starlight.
The sun rises and the moon sets, motionless.
Months later, she murmured, "Why hasn't he come out yet?"
"Could it be that Chu Xuan is a person who is focused on cultivation and doesn't care about the outside world once he is in seclusion?"
She looked out at Lingzhu Mountain shrouded in mist and frowned, "Then let's wait a little longer."
"If it doesn't work, I'll just go and try to break through this formation."
"Chu Xuan knows how to make pills, but he shouldn't be proficient in formations. If he uses brute force to break it open, it is likely that he will break in."
"But that would make too much noise and would probably attract a lot of unnecessary attention."
"Then let's take the initiative to walk in and try to break the formation."
…
Several more years passed in the extremely dark cave.
Chu Xuan looked at the spiritual weapons in front of him with a look of satisfaction.
The White Bone Stele and the Blood Demon Pot have successively entered the ranks of mid-grade spiritual weapons.
The Soul-Killing Lock was originally a mid-grade spiritual weapon and was not promoted to a high-grade spiritual weapon in one go, but its power was also greatly improved like the White Dragon Robbery.
In addition, he practiced the "Great Transformation and Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra" and learned two spells.
One of them is the "Blood Demon's Handprint". As the name suggests, it is a spell that condenses blood clouds into a huge handprint and suddenly slaps it out.
The advantage of this method is its fast coagulation speed and wide coverage.
However, the speed of the attack is slow and can be easily avoided by the opponent using escape techniques.
The second one is "Blood Demon Sky Escape", which is an escape technique that also consumes blood clouds to speed up flight.
This escape technique is extremely fast. According to the "Dahua Zizai Tianmo Sutra", it is considered to be the best among all the out-of-body escape techniques known to the Tiandao Immortal Alliance.
I don't know if it's bragging.
Both spells consume a small amount of spiritual power and a large amount of blood cloud.
This also means that Chu Xuan must always maintain the total amount of blood cloud in the Blood Demon Pot so that it does not become too scarce.
Otherwise, there is a danger that these two spells will be useless.
"With these means at my disposal, I can be considered a true out-of-body cultivator."
"Hmm... maybe not quite. After all, I don't even have a good top-grade spiritual weapon."
"But the mid-grade spiritual weapons I have are almost used up. I wonder if there are any hospitable monks who can provide me with generous financial support."
Chu Xuan smacked his lips, missing True Lord Qianhuan and True Lord Ziying of the Dark Realm.
But if you think about it carefully, he didn't kill those two people.
Instead, he was easily killed by Luo Zu.
…
"Why are there so many sound transmission notes?"
As soon as Chu Xuan returned to Lingzhu Mountain, he saw groups of sound transmission notes running around in the formation.
The light of these sound transmission notes is different.
The dimmer the light, the earlier the date.
He reached out and grabbed a dim sound transmission talisman, and heard a rather polite voice coming from it.
"I waited for you for a long time at the top of Mount Zhu, but you never showed up, so I had no choice but to break through the formation."
He raised his eyebrows and grabbed another sound transmission note.
"I didn't expect you to know a little bit about formations. I've broken through two formations and will be in soon."
He grabbed the third note and heard a somewhat angry voice from inside.
"Why is your formation so interconnected? I'm trapped!"
He couldn't help but chuckle and grabbed the fourth sound transmission note.
"You are obviously an alchemist, how come you also know about formations? Let me out!"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
It seems that the man thought he was quite good at formations and broke in on his own initiative.
As a result, I was trapped inside.
I just don't know how long I was trapped.
Chu Xuan took a few more glances and nodded slightly, "It didn't trigger the killing array. It seems that he never used brute force to force his way in."
"Who is this person?"
After thinking for a long time, he sighed softly, "We should meet him, otherwise this guy will definitely be lurking around here every day."
"Being remembered by others is not a good thing."
Chu Xuan made a casual move, and a formation plate appeared in his palm.
He slapped the air hard, and the mist suddenly rolled up, creating a winding path that led straight to the mountainside.
The figure was a little stunned, but quickly reacted and flew towards the mountainside.
After a while, she appeared outside the courtyard.
Chu Xuan took a closer look and found that it was a half-grown girl who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.
Her facial features are extremely delicate, like a porcelain doll.
Especially those eyes, the pupils were replaced by a star.
The girl looked at Henry Chu for a long time, her eyes extremely complicated.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why is your attainment in formation so high?"
Chu Xuan said casually, "Without some skills, it's hard to survive in this chaotic world of cultivation."
He continued, "Fellow Daoist, you claim to have driven away the people from the Hun Tian Zhan Sect. If that's true, I'd be incredibly grateful. But who are you, and why do you insist on speaking with me face to face?"
The girl took a deep breath to calm herself down before saying, "My name is Dan Jieli, a disciple of the Wanxing Immortal Palace."
Henry Chu remained calm on the surface, but ripples were forming in his heart.
Myriad Stars Palace...
This is also one of the six sects of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance.
And it is known as the most mysterious one.
If he hadn't communicated with Lord Mingdao that day, he wouldn't even know about the Wanxing Immortal Palace.
It is said that the Wanxing Fairy Palace was created to keep secrets.
It is said that the disciples of the Wanxing Immortal Palace are either keeping secrets or on the way to find secrets.
God knows how many secrets the Wanxing Immortal Palace has kept.
I'm afraid only the Heavenly Lord who is overcoming tribulations in the Wanxing Immortal Palace knows this.
Henry Chu shrugged. "So, why do you want to talk to me face to face? Is there anything special about me?"
Dan Jieli frowned, "How special are you, don't you know it yourself?"
"As a cultivator of the demonic path, you possess a wealth of demonic methods, yet you possess a five-layered golden wheel of merit. Even the out-of-body tribulation was repelled by your shout!"
"Not only is his attainments in alchemy quite impressive, he's also incredibly proficient in formation techniques!"
Dan Jieli looked at Chu Xuan deeply and said slowly, "And you have a close relationship with the eighth clone of the Fallen Ancestor."
"It also received the approval of the newborn spirit of the Black Tortoise Seal."
"Besides that, you must have some secrets that I haven't discovered yet."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
This Dan Jieli is indeed a disciple of the Wanxing Immortal Palace.
It was checked so carefully.
And he actually revealed many of his secrets.
Chu Xuan suddenly asked, "The eighth incarnation of the Fallen Ancestor... is Luo Zu?"
Dan Jieli nodded, "Exactly."
"The original name of the fallen ancestor is no longer traceable, but the fallen cultivators all call him Luo Zu."
"The avatar you met is the eighth avatar of the Fallen Ancestor. Others still alive include the sixth avatar, Poxu, and the ninth avatar, Miexian."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He had long guessed that Luo Zu had a powerful background.
I didn't expect it to be so big.
Chu Xuan asked again, "The new spirit of the Xuanwu Seal refers to..."
"Of course it's the thing that gave you the white jade bead." Dan Jie Li sighed, "Two hundred years ago, I accepted a mission from the sect and came to the Dark Realm to search for a new artifact spirit. Before me, more than forty seniors had visited the Dark Realm, but they all failed to find it."
"You've only been in the Dark Realm for a few decades, and you've already found it!"
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Isn't the Wanxing Immortal Palace a sect that keeps secrets? Why are you telling me all this?"
Dan Jie Li waved his hand, "These are not top secrets. When your realm is improved and your horizons are broadened, you will naturally know them."
Henry Chu asked again, "Since when did you start investigating me?"
Dan Jie Li, "From the moment you broke through your body, you were already on my list."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, and finally said, "So why do you want to talk to me face to face?"
"If you want to check on me, shouldn't you go to where I grew up?"
Dan Jie Li smiled awkwardly, "The disciples of Wanxing Immortal Palace also have to complete tasks, and the time limit for my task is almost over."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "It seems that fellow Daoist has something to ask of me."
Dan Jieli nodded, "I need the Black Tortoise Pearl, just one will be enough."
"With this thing, I can complete the sect's mission."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
The Xuanwu Pearl is not an important thing to him.
Now that Ming Wuzi has disappeared, it is of even less use.
Even if I give it to Dan Jieli, it's fine.
What's more, the other party is a disciple of Wanxing Immortal Palace.
It is obviously a good deal to make friends with a disciple of Wanxing Immortal Palace with just a Xuanwu Pearl.
Dan Jieli saw that he frowned and said nothing, and thought that he was unwilling.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I know that the Black Tortoise Pearl is very precious. You definitely don't want to give it to me for nothing."
"How about this, I'll trade with you."
"Take whatever you want."
"I collected these things privately. Exchanging them with you doesn't violate the Wanxing Rules."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
He had no intention of asking for favors.
But if the other party insists on giving it to you, you can't offend them.
Then he saw Dan Jieli spread out a piece of coarse cloth and quickly filled it with all kinds of strange things.
There are shriveled tree species the size of a human brain.
Some of them exude an extremely sharp aura and have teeth as long as an adult's arm.
There was a dirty flag with a few drops of dried blood on it.
There are also tangled balls of hair, cracked scabbards, etc.
Overall, the appearance is very shabby.
The corner of Henry Chu's mouth twitched.
Those who don't know would think that this disciple of Wanxing Immortal Palace is a rag collector.
He said casually, "I say, you, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Stars Immortal Palace, are used to using such a piece of coarse cloth to carry things?"
"Just like setting up a street stall?"
Dan Jie Li was stunned, with a matter-of-fact expression, "Is there something wrong? This is the tradition of our Wanxing Immortal Palace."
"This is what my master taught me, this is what my great master taught me, and this is what my great great master taught me."
"Is there a problem? No problem!"
"And don't underestimate this piece of coarse cloth. Although it's called coarse cloth, it won't get wet when it comes into contact with water, won't burn when it comes into contact with fire, and won't rot when it comes into contact with acid. It can bear an astonishing weight, has strong defense, and can even be expanded or reduced at will! It's a must-have item for disciples like me in the Ten Thousand Stars Immortal Palace when we go out!"
Chu Xuan burst out laughing when he heard this.
His eyes swept over these strange objects.
He casually pointed at the shriveled tree seed and asked, "What is this?"
Dan Jieli said carelessly, "This is the species of the gluttonous tree."
Henry Chu opened his eyes wide, "Ah? You have this thing too? Is it still alive?"
Dan Jieli shrugged. "Of course it's lifeless. According to the Ten Thousand Stars Rules, cultivators of my level are not allowed to carry living Greedy Tree seeds with them."
Henry Chu smacked his lips.
Wow, I didn't expect him to be a heavyweight right from the start!
Chu Xuan pointed at the teeth that emitted a sharp aura and asked, "What is this?"
Dan Jieli chuckled and said, "This is the tooth of the king of ancient beasts. I spent a lot of effort to get it from a senior brother."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, "You know the ancient beasts, right? They're the Micro-Underworld Crocodile, the Cangyou Falcon, the Dark Devouring Moth, and so on."
"Their bodies are almost always recovered by their own kind, so it's difficult to obtain body parts."
"And more! These ancient beasts were all born from that giant..."
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Henry Chu was puzzled, "Why don't you say it?"
Dan Jieli covered his mouth for a moment before awkwardly saying, "This part is a secret and cannot be disclosed to anyone outside of the Myriad Stars Immortal Palace."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
When he was fighting in the battlefield outside the domain before, he noticed the strangeness of those ancient beasts.
Ancient beasts always move in groups and will go straight to people with merits.
I wish I could tear these people into pieces.
Now, the information that Dan Jieli inadvertently revealed further confirmed his guess.
Henry Chu waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll know in the future."
He gestured again at what was left.
Finally, his sight fixed on the blood-stained, tattered flag.
He noticed it at first, but deliberately didn't mention it right away.
Instead, he was patient and only brought it up casually now.
He asked, "What kind of treasure is this? Is there something special about the fabric?"
Dan Jie Li said proudly, "You are totally wrong!"
"This blood-stained flag is one of my most valuable collections!"
"The fabric of the flag is indeed quite good. It is made from silk spun by ten thousand year old ice silkworms."
"But compared to the blood drops on it, the value of this ten thousand year old ice silkworm cloth immediately pales in comparison."
Henry Chu was also curious, "Oh? What does this drop of blood say?"
Dan Jie Li chuckled, "There are three drops of blood on it, two of which are Luo Zu's blood, and the third is the blood of a certain Tianzun!"
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Luo Zu, it should refer to the original Luo Zu from that year."
Dan Jieli nodded, "Exactly."
Chu Xuan said again, "The blood of the Heavenly Lord..."
Dan Jie Li chuckled and said, "I can't say that. If I mention the title of that Heavenly Venerable, my blood will be taken back."
"Maybe I'll be held accountable too."
"It's better that you don't know either."
Henry Chu smacked his lips.
Little girl, you are playing with fire!
He even dared to hide the blood of the Heavenly Lord!
Are all the people in Wanxing Fairy Palace so brave?
That's right.
It's normal to become bolder when you're exposed to all kinds of secrets every day.
Dan Jie Li waved his hand and said proudly, "Well, have you chosen? You can choose any one of my collections!"
Henry Chu nodded, "I want this blood-stained flag."
Dan Jie Li felt a little pain in his heart, but he nodded. "Okay, deal done. Where's the Xuanwu Pearl?"
Chu Xuan took out a basalt bead and handed it over.
Dan Jie Li was filled with joy, "Great, great, this way I can complete the sect's mission. Thank you!"
Having said that, she turned and left without any intention of staying any longer.
Henry Chu looked at her lively figure and couldn't help shaking his head.
Of the six sects of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance, he has now directly or indirectly come into contact with people from four of them.
The four sects are Kunlun Sword Sect, Hun Tian War Sect, Wu Xiang Dragon Temple, and Wan Xing Immortal Palace.
Generally speaking, the philosophies of Kunlun Sword Sect and Hun Tian War Sect are similar, both of which require the destruction of every fallen cultivator.
However, the Kunlun Sword School is more radical.
The Wuxiang Dragon Temple is very strange. It doesn't seem to intend to kill all the fallen cultivators.
He was particularly touched by the words "There is no distinction between people in education, and merit is paramount" that Du'e and the other two said to him when they left.
Now that he has come into contact with the people from Wanxing Fairy Palace, he feels that Wanxing Fairy Palace is even more bizarre.
There is a sense of we contain, we control, we protect.
Chu Xuan didn't think any more and flew straight towards the main hall of the Dayulong Sect.
"After such a long period of seclusion, it's time to rectify the atmosphere of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect."
…
The sect's main hall.
At Chu Xuan's command, all the Divine Transformation cultivators gathered in the hall.
Sect Master Ling Xueying said respectfully, "Old Ancestor, all eight of the sect's eight Divine Transformation cultivators are here. Please give your instructions, Old Ancestor."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
He looked around and said calmly, "The cultivation atmosphere in the Great Imperial Dragon Sect is not right, and everyone is slacking off. I wish to rectify the cultivation atmosphere. If you have any suggestions, please share them in detail."
The Divine Transformation cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.
If we knew how to rectify the practice of spiritual cultivation, we would have done it long ago.
Ling Xueying remained silent.
Henry Chu said calmly, "Don't say it? Or don't want to say it?"
"I will give you ten days to come up with ten suggestions. If you fail to come up with one, ten years of your annual salary will be deducted until all the suggestions are made."
After these words were spoken, all the Divine Transformation cultivators widened their eyes.
Henry Chu waved his hand, and a violent wind blew out, "Get out!"
Over the next ten days, these gods began brainstorming, racking their brains and gathering suggestions.
Ten days later, Henry Chu took in all the suggestions and just shook his head, "Not enough, far from enough. I'll give you another ten days to keep thinking."
The elders who had reached the state of transformation were completely confused and didn't understand what the ancestor meant, but they had no choice but to do as he said.
Ling Xueying seemed to be thinking about something, as if she had guessed Henry Chu's intention.
Another ten days passed.
Chu Xuan threw all the suggestions put forward by the elders of the Divine Transformation Realm back without even looking at them. He was furious and scolded them for being lazy and ordered them to continue revising them.
The sound was deafening, and even many disciples heard it.
Ten more days.
All the elders who had attained the state of transformation were trembling with fear and offered revised suggestions.
This time, everyone's suggestions were surprisingly similar.
Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "That's great! This kind of suggestion is the best way to rectify this unhealthy trend!"
"Who came up with this idea?"
All the gods looked at Ling Xueying.
Ling Xueying said respectfully, "Grandmaster, this was drafted by Xueying."
"Good!" Chu Xuan was even more satisfied. "Publicize the new sect rules. From now on, they will be implemented according to these sect rules!"
"Yes." The eight elders who had reached the state of spiritual enlightenment had no choice but to nod, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Henry Chu looked at their departing backs and smiled slightly.
The new sect rules drawn up by Ling Xueying cannot be said to be exactly the same as the new sect rules he originally set in Wuji Tianzong, but they can be said to be no different.
It is obvious that this woman with a thin waist is a smart person.
After the previous two times, she immediately understood that what Chu Xuan needed was not unique advice, but cruel sect rules.
In addition, Ling Xueying also creatively added new regulations.
The annual salary and benefits of the Elder Huashen are also tied to the strength of his disciples.
In this way, Elder Huashen could not be lazy and had to join in the fight.
Chu Xuan sighed, "The person that Master Feng left for me is really good and capable."
"However, after all, I don't know everything about it, so it's not easy to use."
"It would be great if I had a familiar Divine Transformation cultivator to serve me..."
On this day, the sky was vast and blue, and the water and sky were one color. It was a rare good day.
At this moment, a merchant ship was anchored above the Dayulong Sect.
The merchant ship flew the Qingxie flag.
It represents that it is a tower ship belonging to the Qingxie Merchant Alliance.
The Qingxie Merchant Alliance is a seventh-level cultivation sect that is as famous as the Jiuyou Palace, Wuya Academy, Tianfu Sect, and Yaoguang Cave Heaven.
When the merchant ship docked, the monks of the Merchant Alliance immediately set up a temporary market in the designated area.
They have their own magic tricks.
So the construction speed is extremely fast.
In less than an hour, a huge temporary market was established.
A few monks from the Merchant Alliance chatted casually while yawning.
"I heard that every time I come to the Great Imperial Dragon Sect, I can't make much money, so the owner is too lazy to come."
"Yes, the Great Imperial Dragon Sect is located in the heart of the Xuanyin Star Region. Cultivation is slack, and the disciples don't have any urgent need to improve. Naturally, they won't invest spirit stones in spirit tools or elixirs."
"Huh? Look, there are so many people!"
The monk from the Merchant Alliance rubbed his eyes and suddenly saw a large number of monks from the Great Dragon Sect flying towards him.
The entire sky is filled with human figures!
The first monk who rushed to the temporary market shouted, "Magic weapon! I want the best magic weapon, give me the best magic weapon!"
"Hurry up, my time is precious! I don't have time to waste it here!"
The monks who rushed over later also shouted, "Pills! The best pills! Buy them and I'll leave. I'm in a hurry!"
In an instant, the market became extremely lively.
One business deal after another was settled quickly.
The cultivators from the Dayulong Sect came and went at an astonishing speed.
In less than two hours, all the magic weapons, pills, talismans and other items brought down from the merchant ship were sold out.
The merchant ship's owner's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Hurry, hurry! Bring down more goods!"
"The disciples of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect have changed their ways. It's time for us to enjoy this immense wealth!"
All the monks of the Merchant Alliance were beaming with joy.
Business people are afraid of having goods but no market.
The fact that the disciples of the Dayulong Sect are so crazy now is exactly what they want.
At this time, a graceful figure also walked out of the market and looked at the gate of the Dayulong Sect from afar.
Her attractive figure is made even more charming by this tight outfit.
Many cultivators from the Great Dragon Sect couldn't help but look at her a few more times even though they were in a hurry to go to the market to buy magic weapons, pills and talismans.
The man in black strode towards the gate of the Dayulong Sect and soon arrived at the foot of the gate.
The gatekeeper disciple asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
The black-clothed man's aura vibrated, and the aura of the Spirit Transformation Stage vibrated, shocking the gatekeeper disciples.
She said calmly, "Skylark, I'm here to visit the Great Imperial Dragon Sect. Please let me know."
The gatekeeper disciple was shocked. "Yes, yes, yes. Senior, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."
A moment later, Ling Xueying flew over, looked Yun Que up and down, and suddenly asked, "Who are you, and why did you come to my Great Yulong Sect?"
Yun Que smiled and said, "I was exiled back then, and luckily, Master Chu helped me save my life."
"Now that I heard that Master Chu had returned and was stationed at the Great Imperial Dragon Sect, I came here."
Ling Xueying nodded in understanding, "I see. Please go to the reception hall and wait. I will go and invite the ancestor."
Skylark nodded, "Okay."
…
In the reception hall.
Yunque held a cup of hot tea in both hands and took a sip from time to time.
Beneath her towering chest, she hid a troubled heart.
"Has the Palace Master truly returned? And has he become a True Lord?"
"It shouldn't be someone with the same name."
"I've been hiding my identity for so long, shouldn't I show up so easily..."
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
I couldn't help but want to get up.
However, before she stood up, she saw two figures striding into the reception hall, one in front and one behind.
The face of the man in the lead looked so familiar, wasn't he Palace Master Chu Xuanchu!
Yun Que suddenly stood up, unable to conceal his excitement, "Chu...Chu Zhenjun."
The word "Palace Master" almost came out of her mouth, but she changed it to the title of "True Lord".
Ling Xueying was quite surprised to see Yunque so excited.
What is the connection between this woman and the ancestor?
Why are you so excited to see the ancestor?
Could it be...
Ling Xueying's heart was suddenly filled with gossip.
Chu Xuan was also very surprised when he saw Yu Que.
Before he went to the Dark Realm, the organization of the Other Shore was almost destroyed by the Sea God Island.
Even the Grand Hall Master Xiahou Xiong, the fallen cultivator who had achieved out-of-body experience, was publicly beheaded by the Sea God Island as a warning to others.
He originally thought that the remaining members of the people on the other side would scatter and fall apart.
Unexpectedly, Yunque actually took the initiative to find him.
This is quite interesting.
Chu Xuan said casually, "This is indeed an old friend of mine. Xueying, you go down first."
Ling Xueying nodded respectfully, "Yes."
She left the reception hall and closed the door behind her.
Chu Xuan casually raised a formation flag, covering the entire reception hall to ensure that outsiders could not detect the situation inside the hall, and then looked at Yun Que.
Yu Que knelt on one knee, extremely respectful, "I am Yu Que, a person from the other shore at the Earth level. I greet Palace Master Chu!"
Henry Chu waved his hand, "Everyone on the other side has fallen apart, there's no need to dwell on my past identity."
Yun Que raised her fair neck and looked at Chu Xuan. "When I fled to Zi Lei Star, I was chased by two Divine Transformation cultivators from Wu Lei Mountain Sect. Later, I was suddenly helped by someone."
"Palace Master, are you the one who helped us?"
Henry Chu sighed softly, "It's me."
He once stayed briefly on Zilei Star for a period of time, during which time he accidentally discovered that Yunque was being hunted.
He was worried that Yunque would reveal the matter of the two hall masters of the other side, so he came to help.
But he did not reveal himself to Skylark.
Unexpectedly, Yunque still guessed it.
Yunque said excitedly, "It's you..."
She took a deep breath. "I thought you had fallen, but then I suddenly learned that someone named Chu Xuan had entered the Out-of-Body Great Dao in the Dark Realm. I couldn't believe it at first, but after further investigation, I found that you had come to the Great Imperial Dragon Sect to guard it."
"I had nowhere to go, so I came here."
Yun Que knelt on both knees, knocked his forehead to the ground, and said in a firm tone, "The people on the other side have been destroyed. I don't want to wander around anymore. I am willing to serve you as my master and work for you!"
"Palace Master, no, True Lord, I beg you to accept me."
"Under the command of the True Lord, Skylark will not hesitate to die!"
As she spoke, she slapped her forehead and forced out a wisp of her soul.
She looked at Henry Chu, her pretty face pale but her expression resolute.
Henry Chu frowned in thought.
Yun Que was once a ground-level person from the other side of the river and had completed many assassination missions.
He used to be his subordinate, gathering intelligence for him.
Indeed, smart and capable.
It is a good choice to recruit it.
As for his loyalty, it can be tested slowly in the future, there is no need to rush.
Thinking of this, Henry Chu said, "I agree to your request."
"However, you should take this strand of your soul back. If your soul is controlled by others for no reason, it will affect your cultivation."
Skylark was filled with gratitude, "Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Henry Chu pointed casually, "Sit down, don't kneel."
"Tell me what you have experienced since the destruction of the people on the other side."
"Yes!" Skylark suddenly opened his mouth and kept talking.
After a moment, Henry Chu nodded thoughtfully.
There was also some emotion in the look he gave Hibari.
Skylark is a fallen cultivator and cannot reveal himself easily, so he cannot stay in one place for a long time.
In this way, naturally, not much resources for cultivation can be accumulated.
Over the past few decades, Yun Que had worked as a robbery cultivator, worked for the family, and even served as the sect's white glove.
It's all about making a living.
But even so, Yu Que still entered the seventh level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
This is enough to show that her talent is also extraordinary.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such cultivation.
In addition, Yun Que's most valuable experience was when he accidentally entered a wild star field where ancient alien species roamed everywhere, and accidentally obtained a sky-covering dragon bird.
Henry Chu suddenly asked, "Do you have a spirit body?"
Yun Que was stunned. "Report to the True Lord, I don't have a spirit body."
Henry Chu casually pressed his hand on her head and injected spiritual power into her.
Yu Que's whole body trembled, but he did not resist and just calmly accepted Chu Xuan's inspection.
After a while, Chu Xuan withdrew his spiritual power and smiled, "You already have a spiritual body, but you haven't noticed it yet."
"Most cultivators awaken their spirit bodies at birth, but some awaken their spirit bodies later in life."
"You are the one who awakens the day after tomorrow."
Yun Que asked in surprise, "True Lord, what kind of spirit body am I?"
Chu Xuan smiled, "You once mistakenly entered a place where ancient alien species were rampant, but you walked out safely and even brought out a Sky-Covering Dragon Bird."
"From that moment on, your spirit began to function."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Earth Spirit Body 'Dragon Bird Body'."
"This dragon bird body is quite rare. It usually awakens later in life. You must have awakened it by accident after encountering the Sky-Covering Dragon Bird."
"The most unique thing about this spirit is that it can form a soul contract with the Sky-Covering Dragon Bird. From now on, they will prosper together and suffer together."
"You lack resources, yet your cultivation level continues to soar. This is all because of the Sky-Covering Dragon Bird."
Henry Chu continued, "You've been wandering around all the time, rarely keeping company with others, so naturally you won't pay close attention to your own condition."
"He only regarded the Sky-Covering Dragon Bird as a companion, but he didn't know that his own dragon bird body had already awakened."
Skylark was greatly surprised.
After a while, he said respectfully, "Thank you, Master. Otherwise, I would probably still be kept in the dark."
Henry Chu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's a good thing that you're getting stronger."
"From now on, you will work under me."
"For the time being, I will hold the title of Divine Transformation Elder in the Great Imperial Dragon Sect."
Yu Que nodded in understanding, "As the Master commands!"
After this day.
The Dayulong Sect now had a new elder who had reached the state of transformation, named Yuque.
All the elders who had reached the state of transformation had no objection to this.
After all, this person is an old acquaintance of the ancestor.
Since the ancestor allowed her to stay in the sect, she must be a trustworthy person.
Moreover, instead of focusing on others, it is better to worry more about yourself.
If his disciples lose in the sect competition held once every ten years, his annual salary will be greatly reduced.
This is a big deal about the future!
…
Lingzhu Mountain.
Henry Chu was standing by the pond feeding the fish.
Suddenly, a loud cry was heard in the sky.
He looked up and saw a huge black shadow rushing past.
Its wings even blocked out the sun.
This is the Sky-Covering Dragon Bird.
Although he is only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his wingspan is already over a hundred feet.
It is said that if the Sky-Covering Dragon Bird can enter the out-of-body stage, its wingspan can even reach five hundred feet.
That's really covering the sky and the sun.
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "It seems that it likes it here very much."
Yun Que stood respectfully beside him. "Yes, Xiao Que'er likes the environment here very much. The main reason is that there is something to eat. We don't have to live the same life as before, where we eat one meal and go hungry the next."
"How's your training going?" Chu Xuan asked casually as he rolled the fish food into a ball and threw it into the pond.
Yun Que couldn't hide his delight, "Very quickly! The Dark Mist Technique is very suitable for me, and the elixir given by the True Lord is extremely effective and will not cause me to go astray at all."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
After Yunque joined his team, he did not assign Yunque any important tasks.
After a year or two, he saw everything Yun Que did, and he relaxed his guard slightly.
It just so happened that I had acquired the Dark Mist Technique in the Dark Realm before, but I wondered if this technique had any loopholes.
He then gave Yun Que the Dark Mist Technique and the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill.
I want to see if there will be any unusual results when Yunque practices this method.
As it turned out, he was indeed overthinking it.
There are no flaws or loopholes in the Dark Mist Technique.
After using the Great Dichen Pill to suppress his bad nature, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Only a year had passed, and Yun Que had already mastered the first level of the Dark Mist Technique, greatly increasing his strength.
Henry Chu looked at the fish that were desperately fighting for food and asked, "Have you achieved anything during this period?"
Yun Que nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I have already gathered quite a few people from the other side. There are two at the Earth level alone, and quite a few at the Profound level as well."
"But don't worry, Master Zhenjun. I didn't communicate with them as the Great Imperial Dragon Sect's Divine Transformation Elder, but used another identity."
Henry Chu chuckled and just nodded.
In this regard, he naturally trusted Yu Que.
Yun Que continued, "We people from the other shore may not have any other abilities, but we are top-notch at killing, robbing, and gathering intelligence."
"Those Earth-level and Xuan-level Beyond-the-Shore people have already become rats crossing the street. As long as I provide them with cultivation resources, they will be used by me."
"From now on, any major events that occur in the nearby star regions will reach the True Lord within a month."
"The major events that occurred in the Xuanyin Star Region will be reported to the True Lord within two or three days."
Henry Chu smiled, "You did a good job. I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you."
Receiving the True Lord's praise, a blush appeared on Yun Que's cold cheeks.
Now she no longer considers herself as someone on the other side.
And regard himself as Chu Xuan's subordinate.
Everything is considered first with Chu Xuan's interests as the priority.
She was naturally happy to receive Henry Chu's praise.
At this time, a sound transmission note flew over.
Chu Xuan took a photo from a distance and injected spiritual power into it, and Ling Xueying's voice was heard from it.
"Reporting to the ancestor, the upper sect has sent a message, ordering us to monitor the territory of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect and be vigilant against possible disasters at all times."
"May I come in and report to you?"
Chu Xuan glanced at Yunque.
Yu Que immediately understood and turned around and ran away.
Chu Xuan then waved his hand.
The fog rolled in, separating a path.
Ling Xueying hurried over, bowed, and then reported the sect's orders one by one.
Chu Xuan frowned, "Another disaster?"
Ling Xueying nodded, "There's a disaster happening in Wufeng Mountain's territory, but no other sects have yet."
"What kind of disaster is it?" Chu Xuan asked again.
Ling Xueying said in a deep voice, "It is said that the gray fog appeared out of nowhere, and wherever it covered the whole city was wiped out, only one or two Nascent Soul cultivators escaped."
Gray fog?
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, thinking about something.
It had been peaceful for a short time, but unexpectedly, disaster struck again.
It's really like a tarsalgia.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'll leave all the matters of strengthening the security to you. If any disaster occurs, report it to me immediately."
He felt quite lucky.
Fortunately, he had previously issued new sect rules, ordering everyone in the sect to open their books.
Otherwise, if the disaster occurs again, everyone in the Dayulong Sect will be like a hopeless person. Wouldn't he have to deal with the disaster personally?
Ling Xueying hesitated for a moment before finally speaking in a deep voice, "Grandmaster, Xueying feels that even though Yun Que is a descendant of your bloodline, it's best not to give him too much power. Otherwise, the other Divine Transformation Elders will surely criticize him privately."
"Xueying has left."
Henry Chu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Ah?"
He looked at Ling Xueying's departing figure, and it took him a while before he showed an expression that was neither funny nor sad.
What's going on.
Are those Divine Transformation Elders of the Great Dragon Sect spreading rumors privately that Yunque is his daughter?
However, when he thought about it carefully, Ling Xueying spoke this time only for the sake of the sect, and not intentionally to alienate their relationship.
Henry Chu rubbed his chin and chuckled, "If you think about it carefully, it's really possible to be speculated so unreasonably."
"After all, in their opinion, Yun Que, having received such training from me as a newcomer, would certainly lead to her having wild thoughts."
"Forget it, let them guess. I'm too lazy to explain."
Chu Xuan threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond.
He fed the white jade turtle a piece of giant insect flesh and blood, and then returned to the cave.
He took a step forward and arrived at the Jiyin Cave on the Giant Star.
"Now it's time to take a look at the blood-stained flag. If I'm not mistaken, it must be connected to the blood-stained broken spear."
Chu Xuan flipped his palm, and the broken blood-stained flag appeared in the palm of his left hand.
The blood-stained broken gun appeared in his right hand.
The blood-stained broken spear was originally obtained by him when he killed Sima Yi in the Falling Dragon Valley.
Later, he obtained a blood-stained broken knife from Qi Xuan, the second hall master of the other shore who was ungrateful.
After the two were put together, they quickly began to merge with each other, causing the bloodstained broken gun's image to change drastically and its power to increase dramatically.
Now, I have obtained the blood-stained flag from Dan Jieli in exchange...
"I hope your strength can be further improved."
Chu Xuan rubbed his hands together and put the two things together.
It was just as he expected.
The two of them seemed to sense each other's presence and quickly approached each other.
But they did not merge as Henry Chu imagined.
Perhaps because of the different materials, the two did not merge.
Instead, the drop of black blood on the flag slowly moved towards the bloody broken spear and finally merged into the bloody broken spear.
The moment it completely merged into the blood-stained broken gun, the broken gun immediately began to buzz.
It was as if some ancient spirit was about to awaken from it!
The next moment, the broken spear's sharp edge was exposed and it was shaking wildly.
Chu Xuan was greatly surprised.
Is it possible that my spirituality is awakening?
At this moment, a beam of gunlight suddenly shot out.
Chu Xuan had a premonition and immediately turned his head to avoid the spear.
The spear light instantly pierced through the solid rock wall of the Jiyin Cave and shot towards the sky.
Its power is no less than a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm!
Chu Xuan was even more excited.
What a powerful blow!
It can be regarded as a powerful trump card!
Just as he was full of anticipation, a crack appeared on the surface of the broken gun.
The drop of black blood was suddenly bounced back and fell back onto the flag.
The buzzing sound inside the broken gun stopped immediately and died down on the spot.
The surface of the broken gun was already covered with cracks.
If it happens once more at most, it will definitely break.
Henry Chu was stunned.
After a while, he frowned and said, "How could it be so?"
Not only did the fusion fail, but the power of the remaining gun was greatly reduced?
Although he has now entered the state of out-of-body, his strength has doubled, and he is not short of the powerful weapon of Canqiang.
But having the means and not using them is completely different from not having the means at all.
I lost this trump card for no reason.
It's really regrettable.
Chu Xuan stood up and paced back and forth in the cave.
After a long time, I finally guessed a possibility.
"Could it be that the blood is too powerful and the broken gun is unable to bear it?"
"Thinking carefully, the broken spear now only carries two drops of Tianzun's blood. With this drop, it will be three drops."
"If this is true, then a more powerful spiritual weapon must be used to carry this blood..."
"The grade of this broken spear is roughly equivalent to a high-grade spiritual weapon."
"It seems that before I use this item next time, I must prepare the next high-grade spiritual weapon and be ready to carry the blood of the Heavenly Venerable at any time."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
Accidents are not scary.
Just make a plan.
It is still a powerful trump card.
"However, in this case, calling it a blood-stained broken spear doesn't seem quite appropriate."
"The blood of the Heavenly Lord is the most important thing."
"From now on, it will be called the Heavenly Venerable Blood Weapon."
Chu Xuan put away the Tianzun Blood Weapon and suddenly stared at the blood-stained flag, as if thinking about something.
Dan Jie Li said in person that there were three drops of blood on it, one was the blood of Luo Zu and the other was the blood of a certain Heavenly Venerable.
Luo Zu's blood was of no use at the moment, but he suddenly thought of its value.
"This thing is useless to me, but it might be a treasure to Luo Zu. Isn't he always searching for memories?"
"With this blood, perhaps I can recover many of my past memories."
Henry Chu smiled, "These two drops of blood may be able to exchange for what I need from Luo Zu."
…
Yulong Star, in a market town.
Dan Jieli sat cross-legged in the quiet room and spread out the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.
The Wanxing Plate is a rare treasure refined by the Tianzun of Wanxing Fairy Palace, which can facilitate communication.
Thanks to the Star Towers that the Wanxing Immortal Palace has planted throughout various domains, as long as you have the Wanxing Disk, you can communicate without any obstacles even if you are in the most remote and desolate star field.
Almost everyone in the Wanxing Fairy Palace has one of these rare treasures.
At this moment, thousands of stars are twinkling in Dan Jieli's Ten Thousand Stars Disk, some bright and some dim.
Each star represents a person.
If you look closely, you can see a name on it.
Senior Brother Zhao Longxiang.
Second senior brother An Ling seeks the truth.
Seventh Senior Sister Chu Xuanji...
Dan Jieli stretched out his right hand and fiddled with it, scratching his head and muttering to himself.
"Master...where is Master?"
It took her a while to find the star representing the "Six Divination Gods".
She carefully injected spiritual power into it.
After a brief buzzing sound, a figure appeared on the Wanxing Plate.
This man has white hair and a youthful face, and he looks like an immortal. At first glance, he is a kind-hearted person.
It was none other than Dan Jieli's master, Liubu Daojun.
As soon as Liubu Daojun appeared, he said sarcastically, "Oh, in the past three hundred years, I have sent you countless star messages, and you never replied to any of them. How come you are actively communicating with me now?"
Dan Jieli chuckled, looking like a little fox.
"I just can't find the Black Tortoise Pearl no matter how hard I try. I'm worried about Master scolding me, so I turned off the Myriad Stars Plate."
"But Master, look, I have found the Black Tortoise Pearl now!"
She took out the Black Tortoise Pearl as if she was presenting a treasure and shook it in front of the Six Divination Lord.
Liubu Daojun sneered, "How would I know if it's fake? It's not like you haven't used this kind of trick before."
"Last time, you accepted a mission to go to the territory of the Hun Tian Zhan Zong to search for the fragments of the Dao treasure left behind by Qing Tianzun."
"You've been searching for over a hundred years without success, and since your mission deadline is almost up, you just randomly pick up a spiritual artifact fragment and claim it's a Dao treasure fragment."
Liubu Daojun looked furious. "If you want to impersonate me, then so be it. I did this kind of thing when I was young. But my Dao treasure is clearly a great seal. You're trying to pass it off as a broken sword. How foolish!"
Dan Jie Li smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I hear from Seventh Senior Sister that Qing Tianzun's Dao treasure was a sword? I didn't know it was actually a great seal..."
Liubu Daojun said coldly, "What about the time before that? You accepted a mission to retrieve the sword-testing stone that the Kunlun Sword Sect had lost in the Savage Star Region."
"That is a sword-testing stone used by countless sword cultivators of the Kunlun Sword Sect. Even the Sword Master has struck it with a sword."
"The sword power contained within it is vast and boundless. It can be said to be a first-class collection!"
"You only brought back a palm-sized piece. You... I don't know what to say to you!"
Dan Jieli pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "That's not my fault. When I got there, the Kunlun Sword Sect had already sent people to retrieve it. If the Huntian War Sect hadn't intervened, they would have fought fiercely and shattered the sword-testing stone. I wouldn't have been able to get even a palm-sized piece..."
Liubu Daojun sighed, "Then why didn't you go earlier? If you were the first to arrive, who could compete with you?"
Dan Jieli suddenly stammered and was unable to speak.
Liubu Daojun sneered, "He must have seen something else and couldn't move his feet anymore!"
Dan Jie Li smiled awkwardly, "Master is truly an old and wise man! He guessed it right away!"
"I stumbled upon an ancient battlefield and was so eager to take a look."
"I didn't expect to be trapped once I entered, and it took me decades to finally escape."
Liubu Daojun sighed deeply, and the look he gave Dan Jieli became particularly helpless.
"But please rest assured, Master. The Black Tortoise Pearl I obtained this time is absolutely real!" Dan Jie Li said confidently, "I will go to the Starry Tower in the Xuanyin Star Region later and deliver the Black Tortoise Pearl to you!"
Liubu Daojun snorted coldly, "No, I want you to swear, use your three most precious collections to swear, this must not be a fake!"
Dan Jieli hesitated a little, but immediately swore solemnly.
Liubu Daojun's expression relaxed a little.
Dan Jieli asked quickly, "Master, now that the Black Tortoise Pearl has been delivered, can I go back now?"
"I miss Seventh Senior Sister."
Liubu Daojun scoffed, seeing through her true intentions at a glance, "Are you missing the snacks made by Seventh Senior Sister?"
Dan Jieli chuckled, like a little fox that was caught stealing food.
Liubu Daojun paused, then suddenly said, "You can't come back for the time being."
Dan Jie Li was stunned, "Why?"
Liubu Daojun sighed softly, "Gray fog has appeared in the Xuanyin Star Region. It should be the appearance of Mingwuzi again. There are currently no Wanxing Immortal Palace disciples available in the Xuanyin Star Region, so I can only send you there."
Dan Jieli frowned his beautiful eyebrows, "And Ming Wuzi?"
Liubu Daojun nodded, "The Dark Mist Mother was killed by the Kunlun Sword Sect, but her many descendants are still scattered."
"Some of those Dark Mist Sons were suppressed, some were killed, and some went into hiding and their whereabouts are unknown."
"Now that times have changed, perhaps many Dark Mist Sons have become powerful enough to reappear and harm living beings."
"As the strongest sect of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, our Wanxing Immortal Palace should quickly identify the source of this gray fog and preserve the Fallen Cultivation Method within it to prevent it from spreading further."
Dan Jieli nodded repeatedly.
After hearing Liubu Daojun's last words, he couldn't help but say, "But I've heard many people say that the Kunlun Sword Sect is the strongest sect..."
Liubu Daojun coughed lightly, "The Ten Thousand Stars Palace is the oldest, holds the most secrets, and is naturally the most powerful."
"Especially the Starry Towers that my Wanxing Immortal Palace built in various star regions. Even the other five sects have to borrow them to transmit messages."
"Also, the Kunlun Sword Sect and the Huntian War Sect are both masters of the Doutian battlefield, but they rarely have conflicts with our Wanxing Immortal Palace."
"You still don't understand who is the boss of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance?"
Dan Jieli nodded, seeming to understand, "I see! Master, what you said makes sense!"
"Jie Li will go investigate the source of the gray fog now."
Liubu Daojun nodded kindly, "Go."
…
Giant star.
Chu Xuan spread out his spiritual sense and overlooked the entire Xiaohe City.
Seeing that Xiaohe City had expanded several times and things and people had changed, he felt quite disappointed.
"In order to achieve the Out-of-Body Realm, I have been practicing in the Dark Realm for fifty years. Five hundred years have passed since the Giant Star."
"The average lifespan of the Longbo people is only three hundred years."
"Their cultivation of Qi and blood will not significantly increase their lifespan like a cultivator's, after all, it is limited."
"Those people back then—Mu Tou, Hei Shi, Tie Gong, and the others—are all long gone..."
"The current situation should have changed drastically, right?"
Chu Xuan flashed and appeared in the temple.
The temple in Xiaohe City has also been expanded several times, far exceeding the simple temple in Xiaohe Village back then.
Chu Xuan stirred up his consciousness and shouted, "Little Grass King, come out and see me."
A moment later, the Little Grass King appeared in front of him.
King Xiaocao was very excited to see Henry Chu again, "Immortal, you are finally back! I haven't seen you for almost six hundred years!"
Henry Chu smiled and said, "After so many years, things have changed, but you are still alive and well."
The Little Grass King said respectfully, "Thanks to the immortal's gift of the life-giving grass seeds, I am able to continue to reproduce and maintain my vitality. Otherwise, I would have died like these Longbo people."
Henry Chu nodded, "Tell me about what has happened in the past few hundred years."
The Little Grass King nodded repeatedly and told everything without omitting anything.
It lasted for more than three hours, covering nearly six hundred years.
After listening to this, Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
The changes in the four states of this country were roughly as he expected.
Feng Heng, the nineteenth king of Storm Nation, came to the temple in Xiaohe City that day and was enlightened by him.
Since then, Storm Nation has begun to vigorously develop qi and blood weapons and prepare for war.
For this purpose, a temporary peace agreement was signed with the Da Cang Kingdom.
In order to hide its strength, it had to watch the Iron Island State being severely damaged by the coalition forces of the Da Cang State and the Longhe State.
Four hundred years ago, after accumulating enough strength, the Storm State launched a blitzkrieg under the instruction of the 19th King Feng Heng.
It only took one month to reach Cangdu.
The rest of the Da Cang Kingdom, as well as the Longhe State, the Highland State, and the Iron Island State, didn't even react.
The Longhe State resisted slightly, but after realizing the huge gap in military strength, it surrendered.
At this point, the Storm State unified the entire territory and changed its name to the Great Wind State.
Feng Heng was promoted to the founding emperor of the Dafeng Kingdom and ruled for 150 years.
He weakened the three states internally, cleared out the bandits, suppressed the Holy Court of Heaven, Dragon and Earth Mother, and supported the Holy Court of Yuanshen.
Sweep away the mourners and prevent the mourning plague.
He left behind a prosperous and yet in need of reconstruction country.
The second generation Emperor of Dafeng Kingdom was named Feng Che. He inherited the will of the previous king and died of illness after governing the country for 250 years.
The second generation Wind Emperor's most acclaimed achievements in civil and military affairs were redrawing the map of the Great Cang Kingdom and successfully incorporating a quarter of the ancient forest into the territory of the Great Wind Kingdom.
Of course, since then, the three passes in the ancient forest have become the first line of defense between the Great Wind Kingdom and the Sangren.
The one in power now is the third generation Feng Emperor Feng Ming, who has been in the throne for only ten years.
There has been no progress so far.
However, if there is any new imperial decree to be issued, it should be soon.
