The Little Grass King found a map and spread it out in front of Chu Xuan. "Immortal, this is the new map of the Great Wind Kingdom drawn by the Second Generation Wind Emperor who sent people all over the country. It is very detailed. You can take a look."
Chu Xuan glanced casually and had a panoramic view of the entire Dafeng Kingdom.
It was exactly as the map in his mind had drawn.
To the north of the Great Wind Country lies the bitterly cold tundra year-round.
To the west is a vast ancient forest haunted by zombies.
To the south is the Sea of Storms, where storms occur all year round.
To the east is the Iron Sea, which is rich in iron ore.
It can be said that among the four directions, only the east is relatively normal.
Most of the iron ore used by the Dafeng Kingdom to cast weapons was mined from the seabed near the east coast.
But the Iron Sea is also vast and boundless, and few people who sail out to sea return safely.
Even those who returned could not find the end of the Iron Sea.
The place of Dafeng Country is like an oasis in the desert and an isolated island in the raging sea.
If we do not expand outward and just keep fighting internally, we will never be able to get out and will be trapped here.
Henry Chu never had any expectations before.
But now, the situation of one country and four states has long been broken.
The chaotic situation has been unified by the Dafeng Kingdom.
Now is the time to forge ahead.
The direction chosen by the Great Wind Nation was obviously the ancient forest in the west.
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking, "I sensed the direction of the psychic cube, roughly in the southwest."
"The Great Wind Nation continues to forge ahead and perhaps bring back many unexpected surprises."
The Little Grass King chuckled and said, "Look, Immortal, your statue is now the largest one."
"After the first Wind Emperor ascended the throne, he immediately rebuilt your statue and ordered the establishment of the Yuanshen Holy Court, which was designated as the state religion of the Great Wind Nation."
"Even I benefited from it, and the statue was rebuilt and enlarged."
Henry Chu chuckled.
He didn't take Feng Heng's oath seriously at first.
After nearly six hundred years of separation, I didn't expect Feng Heng to do this just after he ascended the throne.
It did surprise him a bit.
However, for Feng Heng, neither Tianlong nor Dimu helped his country.
On the contrary, it was himself, the "Soul Envoy", who gave Feng Heng the greatest help.
It doesn't seem so surprising that Feng Heng immediately worshipped him as the Yuanshen after he ascended the throne, established the Yuanshen Holy Court, and made it the state religion of the Dafeng Kingdom.
Henry Chu suddenly asked, "In the nearly six hundred years here, have you ever encountered a Longbo person with seven transformations of Qi and blood?"
The Little Grass King shook his head repeatedly, "No, not even one."
"I also found it strange at the time. After becoming stronger, he even spread his spies to what is now Xinfengdu."
"But I really haven't found even one Qi and Blood Seventh Transformation."
"The strongest one has only achieved the sixth level of Qi and Blood Transformation, and he is the uncle of the third generation Wind Emperor of the current Dafeng Kingdom."
"It's like there's a natural barrier separating the sixth and seventh transformations of Qi and Blood."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
It was just as he guessed.
After the ancient Longbo Kingdom fell apart, not only did it lead to a break in inheritance, but also the decline of strong people.
It also blocks the path to advancement.
Now these Longbo people have only the heavenly skills and earthly methods, but no one can reach the seventh transformation of qi and blood.
Chu Xuan asked again, "Have you ever encountered any of the local gods, such as the Great Earth God and the Small Earth God, in the past few hundred years?"
Little Grass King shook his head and said, "No, I haven't encountered it once."
"Except for the Ruyi Grass King whom I met that year, the rest of the gods seem to have disappeared."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, thought about it, and then took out two bags of grass seeds from his Qiankun bag and threw them to the little grass king.
"These two spiritual herbs are called Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and Hundred-Aspect Flower."
"The former is extremely powerful in attack, and the latter can transform into various flowers and plants at will."
The Little Grass King was very surprised and quickly took the two bags of grass seeds, "Thank you, Immortal!"
Henry Chu said casually, "I won't stay here all year round, so you need to pay more attention to everything."
"Yes!" The Little Grass King nodded repeatedly.
Chu Xuan took a step forward and was about to leave.
But just then.
He suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Chu Xuan casually expanded his spiritual sense.
The Little Grass King was also stunned and quickly looked outside.
They immediately saw a convoy arriving at Xiaohe City.
The general of the Dafeng Kingdom, who was leading the group, walked towards the temple, holding a long box respectfully in both hands.
The muscles on his strong arms were visible.
Apparently, this long box is quite heavy.
Both sides of the road leading to the temple were now filled with a large number of fully armed soldiers from the Dafeng Kingdom.
This scene is quite surprising.
A moment later, the general of Dafeng Kingdom arrived at the gate of the temple, took off his armor, burned incense reverently, and then walked into the temple barefoot.
The general said respectfully, "General Feng Yong of the Great Wind Nation was ordered by the Emperor to enter the ancient forest to search for a meteor, and ultimately found a strange stone."
"We also found the remains of two new divine messengers outside the strange rock."
"Feng Yong, in the name of the Wind Emperor, specially buried him in the temple."
As he spoke, he placed the long box in his hand into the crypt under the Yuanshen statue.
In this crypt, the urns of many warriors are placed.
Only the bravest and most loyal warriors can enter the temple after death.
This is also the highest honor for the soldiers of Dafeng Kingdom.
Feng Yong put the things in solemnly, kowtowed heavily, and then stood up and left.
Extremely respectful throughout.
After he left, the temple gate was closed again.
Henry Chu watched the whole process, and when he saw Feng Yong leave, he immediately appeared in front of the long box.
The Longbo people are generally over 20 meters long.
After the qi and blood change, the body length will continue to increase.
A strong person who has reached the sixth level of Qi and blood transformation can reach a height of forty meters.
But this box is forty meters long.
Chu Xuan's mind moved, and with a teleportation move, the heavy lid of the box slowly opened.
Reveal its true appearance.
The Little Grass King was surprised and said, "What is this? It's really weird!"
"It seems to be just a stone artifact?"
"Those two little people look like humans..."
Chu Xuan looked at this so-called strange-looking thing, but felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
Little Grass King had never seen this thing, but he had.
This thing is clearly a spaceship made of a large number of psychic blocks!
It is not the kind of building ships or flying boats in the world of immortal cultivation.
It is more like a technological spaceship used by humans to navigate the universe.
But this spaceship is very different from the orthodox technology side spaceship.
After carefully inspecting the spaceship, Chu Xuan pondered, "The spaceship is made of psychic blocks, but these blocks no longer have any psychic energy. They can only be regarded as a special metal with extremely high strength."
"Could it be that, as I expected, there is a powerful psychic civilization in this universe?"
As he thought about it carefully, this guess seemed to become more and more true.
It was this powerful psychic civilization that spread the psychic cubes, eventually causing disasters of varying degrees to break out on various planets.
For Planet Aquamarine, it was the so-called zombie virus, global mutations, and the rampage of extraordinary creatures.
For Soul Star, it was the soul technology that backfired on itself, creating the Soul Clan and causing the endless internal strife between the Soul Clan and the people of Soul Star.
For Giant Star, it is this plague that can never be erased!
Chu Xuan shifted his gaze from the "psychic spaceship" and turned to look at the two corpses.
At first glance, the two corpses looked no different from human beings.
But if you look closely, there are indeed quite a few differences.
For example, they are all slightly taller, reaching two meters.
Their eyes, ears, and noses are all extremely large, especially their eyes, which occupy a quarter of their face.
In addition, both of their limbs were thin and weak, with almost no visible muscles.
But his body is filled with spiritual energy.
Even if it has lost its vitality, the spiritual energy still lingers in the body and does not dissipate for a long time.
Perhaps this is why their bodies did not rot and remained intact.
Chu Xuan observed for a long time, but still couldn't see anything.
"It seems that's the only way."
He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, his pupils had turned completely purple.
It is exactly the soul-searching secret technique, the Great Soul-Controlling Demonic Eye.
It is not difficult to practice this method, and he got started with it easily at the beginning.
Now that so many years have passed, it has reached perfection.
He also knew the most powerful aspect of the Great Soul-controlling Demon Eye.
This method can not only search the souls of the living, but also the souls of the dead.
Of course, this person must have died not long ago and his soul must still be left.
If someone has been dead for too long and only a body remains, it is impossible to search the soul.
When the Little Grass King saw Chu Xuan's clothes moving without wind and his pupils turning purple, he immediately took a few steps back in awe and did not dare to get close.
Chu Xuan looked at the two corpses and indeed found some remaining souls on them.
Sure enough, they didn't die for long.
Under the influence of the Great Soul Demon Eye, these residual souls quickly gathered together and eventually intertwined into a chaotic and incomplete picture.
Inside the spaceship, there were three people talking and laughing.
Although Henry Chu didn't understand what they were saying, he could roughly guess from their relaxed expressions that the topic was very light-hearted.
But soon, the picture began to shake violently.
It seems that the spacecraft was attacked.
The smiles on the three people's faces quickly disappeared, and they looked towards the hatch at the same time.
The hatch was being banged on violently.
Every time it was hit, the hatch would shake violently, as if it could not bear the weight.
The three men quickly drew their weapons and aimed at the hatch.
The weapon looked like a gun, with azure spiritual energy flowing through it.
The weapons in the hands of the three men were gathered to the utmost, just waiting for the enemy to rush in.
The moment the hatch was broken open, a volley of weapons was fired, enough to crush everything into dust.
However, when the smoke and dust cleared, there was nothing there.
Just as the three were stunned, the ship's wall above their heads was suddenly shattered.
A huge and bloated figure fell from the sky and severely injured two of them on the spot.
The bloated body seemed like a collection of all kinds of foul-smelling and strange things.
As soon as it appeared, the three of them felt extremely uncomfortable, and even their movements became extremely slow.
Two of them shouted, threw a blue cube to the third person, and rushed towards the bloated figure.
The third person struggled to stand up, turned around and ran away.
The bloated figure wanted to chase after them, but was held back by the two men.
The two of them didn't hold on for long before they became exhausted and were violently knocked away by the bloated figure.
The last scene showed the bloated figure flying out of the spaceship and chasing after the third person.
The scene came to an abrupt end.
The little Grass King was amazed.
Why does it feel like watching a movie clip?
The immortal is worthy of being an immortal!
So much information can even be read from corpses!
Chu Xuan frowned.
That was all he could see.
Perhaps because of the deceased's fear during his lifetime, the full picture of the bloated figure could not even be seen.
The only information he could get from this fragment was—
The three men were traveling on a spaceship when they were suddenly attacked. The attackers wanted to steal the special psychic cube. Two of them died in the battle, and the third man escaped with the psychic cube, with the attackers chasing after him.
As for why he could tell that the psychic cube was special.
Because the two psychic cubes he has obtained so far are both regular hexahedrons.
But that psychic cube is a regular octahedron.
Furthermore, these three individuals are not from the same ethnic group.
The two dead people were very slender.
The third person who escaped had wings on his back.
Chu Xuan thought about it for a long time, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face.
Things are getting more interesting.
This universe is indeed not monotonous, but rather colorful.
Apart from anything else, the huge and bloated body was enough to amaze him.
Crossing the starry sky in the physical body is at least equivalent to a cultivator who has reached the stage of Divine Transformation.
It looks like a zombie and also like a corpse.
It should be a unique species in this universe.
If he could catch one and study it, maybe he could draw inferences from it and help him improve the current Yinshi method.
Chu Xuan's mind moved, he closed the box, and then said, "Did a meteor fall not long ago?"
The Little Grass King nodded, "About a year ago, a meteor crashed into the Ancient Forest."
"But that area isn't controlled by the Gale Nation. Perhaps that's why it took so much effort to find this meteor."
Henry Chu shook his head slightly.
A year ago...
There's no need to chase after it.
Maybe the third person who escaped has already been caught up.
Henry Chu said casually, "I'll leave this place to you."
The Little Grass King nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
Chu Xuan took a step forward and disappeared.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the vast starry sky.
A small escape pod is falling towards the blue planet.
The winged creature knelt quietly, closed its eyes, and placed its fists on its chest, as if praying.
It took him a while to open his eyes, his eyes full of sadness.
"My two friends, may you rest in peace..."
He looked at the blue planet outside the cabin, unable to hide his excitement. "But all the sacrifices are worth it. I've shaken off that big demon, and I'm almost reaching my destination."
"Planet Aquamarine... the origin planet of the Yanhan Dynasty..."
"I, Yifeng, will soon complete the mission of the ancient order!"
…
Giant Star, Extremely Dark Cave.
Chu Xuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the spirit stone bed.
Directly in front of him was the azure soul.
At this time, the soul also closed its eyes and was practicing martial arts.
This is the power of the out-of-body cultivators.
After the soul leaves the body, the body and the soul can do two things at the same time.
At this moment, his body was refining the flesh and blood of the giant insect to strengthen his qi and blood.
The primordial spirit is practicing the "Great Transformation and Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra".
Two-pronged approach, but moving forward at the same time!
"call..."
Chu Xuan's spirit returned to its place, and he exhaled to end the exercise.
Although this is a rapid progress, it is also quite tiring.
It will especially consume the power of the soul.
If he had to fight in a hurry, he looked tired and obviously not at the peak of his strength.
Therefore, he would never let his soul leave his body for too long, and would never put himself in a situation where his soul would be weak.
He is in such a slightly tired state now that he only needs to recover for a dozen days to be back to normal.
He suddenly remembered something and said thoughtfully, "It seems I should cultivate a clone now."
There are also cultivators who can refine clones after reaching the state of transformation, but cultivators who have reached the state of transformation only have their primordial spirit and it is difficult for them to leave their body, so there are few cultivators who can refine clones.
However, many cultivators who have achieved the state of leaving the body have refined their clones.
Some people even have five or six clones.
These clones practice martial arts and secret techniques at the same time, and their insights will be fed back to the original body.
If something happens to the original body, the soul can escape and occupy the clone, so that it can make a comeback.
And because the clone was refined in advance.
There is no compatibility issue.
Chu Xuan recalled carefully, and various words from the "Great Transformation and Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra" immediately appeared in his mind.
The words appeared and disappeared quickly.
In the end, there were eight methods of refining clones that came into view.
However, not all of these eight methods can be used.
For example, this method of refining clones called "Great Illusion Magic".
With just one thought, the demon seeds can be planted in the minds of tens of millions of cultivators, and the latter will not be able to detect it at all.
All the insights gained from these cultivators' practice will eventually return to themselves.
Many people obviously have extraordinary talents and have practiced hard their entire lives, but they are only at the minor level of Golden Elixir.
They have no idea that all their efforts are just contributions to the Lord of this Dharma.
The harder you try, the more miserable you become.
The Great Illusion Magic is so powerful that the conditions required are naturally extremely astonishing.
There are twelve kinds of extremely rare natural treasures alone.
Many of them were things Henry Chu had never heard of.
In addition, a spiritual treasure needs to be refined. This spiritual treasure has no effect on any martial arts and can only be used to breed demons.
Only when these two conditions are met can the magic of great illusion be cast to spread the magic species.
Chu Xuan's mind moved, and he eliminated those refining methods that required extremely rare natural treasures.
There are only three refining methods left to choose from.
First, the celestial demon's clone.
This method requires choosing one of the ancient alien monsters and refining it into a clone.
Because the monster's blood and qi are powerful, this celestial demon's clone is very good at cultivating blood and qi.
Eventually, the Heavenly Demon's clone will return to its original body, causing the original body to gain a huge amount of energy and blood out of thin air.
Second, the free demon body.
These clones were created from scratch using the flesh and blood of monsters and a large amount of natural treasures.
The free demon body has no flaws whether it is cultivating spiritual power or qi and blood.
If the main body collapses, the soul can enter the free demon body and quickly rebuild.
Third, the clone of the spiritual tree.
This method requires first finding a spiritual tree that is more than 5,000 years old, and using a large amount of natural treasures to change its spirituality so that it is suitable for one's own spiritual roots.
Finally, refine it into a clone.
The advantage of the spirit tree clone is that it can give back life span and make life endless.
Even if the original body is seriously injured, the spirit tree clone can continue to supply vitality to the original body.
But the spirit tree clone also has a fatal flaw.
Unable to move.
Once it is refined and takes root, it cannot go anywhere.
"Ancient species are hard to find, but there are some in the Eastern Land of the Dark Domain. If I put in some effort to search, I might be able to find the ancient species needed for the Heavenly Demon's clone."
"The Spirit Tree clone's inability to move is too fatal and cannot be chosen."
"But this free demon body is worth a try."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
We need to put refining the clone on the agenda now.
If he could refine it as soon as possible, his cultivation speed would increase dramatically.
The strength and number of clones are also one of the keys to varying degrees of strength among out-of-body cultivators.
Chu Xuan immediately entered the required natural treasures into the sound transmission talisman and gave it to Ling Xueying and Yu Que to collect.
He immediately prepared to start practicing again.
However, there was new news from Planet Aquamarine.
"An alien spacecraft has arrived on Planet Aquamarine?"
Chu Xuan looked stunned.
He took a step forward and quickly arrived at the Aquamarine Planet.
…
Aquamarine Star.
On a beach in Izumo Province.
As soon as Yifeng climbed out of the escape pod, he was mercilessly surrounded by a group of people.
These people looked at Yifeng from afar, whispering to each other with wary eyes.
After a while, the crowd parted, and suddenly several particularly strong figures walked quickly towards them.
Compared to the others, these people wore the same style of uniforms.
Obviously belong to the same organization.
Yifeng used the ancient ocean blue language that he had learned in advance and wanted to communicate with these people, but he found that no matter what he said, the other party remained silent, just standing around and blocking all his ways.
Yifeng sighed lightly and had to give up.
He knew that the sudden appearance of such a strange-looking outsider would definitely alert the people of Planet Aquamarine.
He had foreseen such a scene long ago.
A few hours later, just when he was getting a little impatient with waiting, an unstoppable aura suddenly descended from the sky.
The burly figures were extremely enthusiastic and immediately half-knelt respectfully, speaking fluent Yanhan Tianchao dialect, "We have seen the immortal!"
Yifeng also raised his head and looked at the sky.
A black figure stood suddenly in the sky.
This person doesn't have wings on his back like him, but he can float in the air without any support!
Yifeng opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief on his face.
Physical flight has always been a privilege reserved for certain ethnic groups.
Who is this person?
Chu Xuan looked down at the man with wings on his back.
I feel a little emotional inside.
He really didn't expect that after this person escaped from the spaceship, he actually avoided the pursuit of the bloated figure and fled all the way to crash into the Aquamarine Planet.
Was it a coincidence?
Or is it fate's arrangement?
Chu Xuan looked at the powerful body cultivators from the Black Edge branch stationed in Izumo Country and said casually, "Put away the spaceship and disperse the crowd."
"Yes!" The leader nodded heavily and immediately followed his instructions.
Ever since Black Front rose to prominence with Chu Xuan's support, this organization has enveloped the entire Aquamarine Planet like a spider web.
The Black Front branches are spread across the Izumo Kingdom, the Arctic Army, the Free Alliance, the Holy Light Kingdom, the Harsha Dynasty and other regions.
The successive rulers of Heifeng also knew that their power was bestowed by the immortals, and therefore they always carried out Chu Xuan's orders unconditionally.
Chu Xuan glanced at Yifeng sideways, grabbed Yifeng with his big hand, and lifted him up in his hand as if he was holding a chicken.
Yifeng just felt like he was flying in the clouds.
The sea, islands, and mountains flashed by quickly below.
Before he could react, he had already appeared in an unfamiliar land.
Chu Xuan dispersed his spiritual sense and said casually, "Tell me, what's your name, who are you, why are you being hunted, and why did you come to Planet Aquamarine?"
His spiritual consciousness directly connected to Yifeng's mind.
Therefore the sound resounds directly at the soul level.
Ever since his soul grew stronger, he has become accustomed to this way of communication.
If we try to communicate through words, it will be too slow.
Yifeng was greatly shocked, and it took him a while to realize that the sound was made by the human in front of him.
He paused, arranging his words, before speaking respectfully, "Respected powerful member of the Flame Clan of the Blue Star, my name is Yifeng, and I am a member of the Wing Clan. Nice to meet you, and I wish you good health and a long life."
Henry Chu chuckled.
Winged Tribe?
Quite polite.
Yifeng said in a deep voice, "Some things can be discussed later, but I have something important to tell you right away."
"They are also searching for the origin star of the Yanhan Dynasty."
"They might be here soon!"
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
This statement makes no sense.
them?
who are they?
Henry Chu seemed to be thinking, "They, are you referring to the bloated figure that is chasing you?"
Yifeng nodded repeatedly, "Exactly! He is one of the great demons under Zhuo Gu's command!"
"We are also searching for the origin star of the Yanhan Dynasty outside the Milky Way."
"He happened to discover our tracks, and that's when the fight broke out."
Yifeng sighed, "Poor fellow demon spirits, they died while trying to cover my retreat."
"Dirty?" Chu Xuan keenly caught the word.
Yifeng was stunned. "You don't know what turbidity is?"
"That's right. The power of the turbidity only covers the entire Milky Way, but cannot extend beyond it."
"You never know His existence until you know this concept."
Yifeng paused, then said in a deep voice, "Zhuogu is an extremely powerful Chaos God. His power covers the entire Milky Way."
"He has many powerful demons under his command, and the number of true and inferior demons is even greater than that of Jingzhao!"
Chu Xuan became more interested after hearing this, "Tell me in detail, what exactly is turbidity?"
Yifeng could not see any fear in Chu Xuan's eyes, but only curiosity.
He was even more surprised in his heart.
Is this powerful member of the Yan clan a person who is fearless?
Yifeng thought for a moment and said, "Dirty... He is the source of all filth and dirt, and the embodiment of all plagues and diseases."
"His divine name is known to everyone from one end of the Milky Way to the other."
"He has countless Chaos Demons and Fallen under his command."
"For example, zombies are one of the lowest-level demons under the command of Turbidity."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
It sounds like a native god born from this universe itself.
However, it is not like becoming a god through one's own great power, but more like becoming a god by collecting incense of faith.
And the path he took was also very weird.
Like a big evil god.
Chu Xuan continued, "Tell me something else. What is the Yanhan Dynasty? What is the Great Milky Way?"
He sighed, "I grew up on Planet Aquamarine. I only know about the Yanhan Dynasty here, and I don't know about the outside world."
Yifeng had no doubt about it and told the story immediately.
"The Yanhan Celestial Empire originated on Planet Aquamarine, outside the Milky Way, and gradually grew into a vast empire spanning the Milky Way."
"Those humans from Planet Aquamarine are given the name 'Flame Clan' to distinguish them from humans from other planets."
"After the Yanhan Dynasty reached its peak, it ignored the warnings of the ancient order and insisted on exploring the starry sky beyond the Milky Way. It was eventually destroyed by a powerful enemy."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the Yanhan Dynasty.
It seems that the Yanhan Dynasty preserved by the Blue Sea Star is just the remnants of the real Yanhan Dynasty.
However, what is this so-called great enemy?
Chu Xuan asked, "The great enemy is the turbidity?"
Yifeng shook his head. "It's not a filth. There's no record of it in the ancient order. Only the seven with the highest status know about it."
"Those seven are also forbidden from revealing any information about this great enemy."
"It is said... the more people know of its existence, the stronger it will become."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
The more people know about it, the stronger it becomes?
In this light, it makes sense that the ancient order prohibits the disclosure of information.
Perhaps the entire galaxy is surrounded by such powerful enemies.
Henry Chu smiled, "Tell me about the Ancient Order one last time."
Yifeng nodded solemnly, "Of course I have to tell you this. I also plan to invite you to join."
"The Ancient Order was jointly established by the Ancients of various races. Its purpose is to use psychic means to enable the entire race to ascend to heaven in order to fight against the Chaos Gods and the enemies outside the realm."
Yifeng took out a coat of arms from his arms.
The coat of arms is azure blue with a fountain on the front.
Looking closely, you can see that the spring is constantly gushing out water in a reciprocating cycle.
Yifeng said proudly, "I am a top-class Spring Rank. This is the crest bestowed upon me by the ancient order."
"The ancient order divided the spiritual energy into drop level, spring level, river level, and sea level according to the strength of the spiritual energy."
"Each level has two levels, upper and lower."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, and after careful perception, he discovered that Yi Feng's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Of course, it's just barely equivalent.
Yifeng does not have the thousand-year lifespan, vast spiritual power, strong soul, and sharp consciousness that a Nascent Soul cultivator possesses.
He thought to himself, "The lower and upper grades of the spring level correspond to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul respectively?"
"In that case, the lower and upper levels of the Sichuan level should correspond to the state of transformation and out-of-body experience respectively."
"Sea level, corresponding to Lianxu and Hedao?"
"Has the strongest person in this ancient order reached this level?"
At the end, Yifeng said sincerely, "Respected Yan Clan warrior, your strength must be great. I implore you to join our ancient order."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
Judging from Yifeng's one-sided statement alone, the Ancient Order is clearly a righteous organization.
Most of the people inside should be serious people.
As a great cultivator of merit, he naturally likes this kind of righteous organization established by decent people.
However, what a person says cannot be trusted, and more evidence is needed before a decision can be made.
Besides, he doesn't like being tied down by an organization.
What if the ancient order assigns him tasks every day in the future? Will he still practice?
Facing Yifeng's expectant eyes, Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "I need to think about it again and tell you later."
Yifeng was a little disappointed.
Henry Chu said casually, "You are seriously injured. You should recuperate on Aquamarine Star first. The people of Black Blade will protect you."
Yifeng said firmly, "No, I still have strength left. The great demon is coming, and I will help you protect Planet Aquamarine!"
Chu Xuan smiled, "Let's not even talk about whether that great demon can find Aquamarine Planet. Even if he does come, he's definitely not going to come back."
"Just rest and recover."
His spiritual sense roared out, and a moment later, Heifeng's men arrived and took Yifeng away.
Henry Chu ordered, "His name is Yifeng, and he is a guest of Aquamarine Star. Protect him well."
The word "protection" is pronounced with great emphasis.
Obviously it means something else.
The several Black Front members who rushed over immediately nodded heavily, understanding what the immortal meant.
After the Black Front members took Yifeng away, Chu Xuan rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.
I thought that Planet Aquamarine was a safe and secure base.
I didn't expect there were potential risks.
"The true strength of that demon shouldn't be that strong. I can handle it."
"That's the fear. If you kill one, a pair will come. If you kill a pair, a group will come."
He sighed softly.
"Looks like I'll have to move the Star Protection Formation to Planet Aquamarine as well."
"The safety of the back garden must be guaranteed."
Chu Xuan took a step forward and returned to Yulong Star.
Then he set about choosing the Star Protection Formation.
The Star Protection Formation sounds like a loud name, but it is actually just a type of formation.
The lowest level of the God Transformation Stage Star Protection Formation can easily resist a God Transformation Stage cultivator.
As long as it is not breached from the inside or the spirit stones are not exhausted, the Divine Transformation cultivator can do nothing with this turtle shell.
As for the star-protecting formation that can resist the out-of-body cultivators, there is naturally one too.
For example, the star protection formation of Yulong Star is at this level.
However, the Star Protection Formation has a wide coverage area, requires a large number of formation flags, and invests a lot of spirit stones, so it is extremely expensive.
If you want to purchase the formation plates and flags for a star-protecting formation, you will have to spend a lot of money.
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "For the safety of the back garden, what's the harm in bleeding a little?"
"What's more, with my attainments in formation and weaponry, it's not difficult for me to refine a large star-protecting formation myself."
…
Yulong Star, Lingzhu Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, it was two months later.
After listening to Yunque's report, Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
It was just as he expected.
After the Seven-Colored Taoist Master Song Lingcai died for no reason, the Sea God Island no longer had a Lianxu Patriarch, and immediately became coveted by the surrounding sects.
Before, it was just a gradual encroachment.
When Yaoguang Dongtian took the lead in swallowing up the whole thing, the other sects stopped pretending and began to swallow up the whole thing.
In order to compete for the spiritual places such as Qiqiao Lake and Burning Heart Sea, the various sects fought each other fiercely.
Because the Hantian Divine Sect was close to the territory of the Sea God Island, its monks were naturally recruited.
This was one of the main reasons why he did not choose to lead the Hantian Divine Sect himself.
What he needs is a generally stable environment for cultivation.
Rather than a situation of frequent disputes and endless unrest.
Yun Que presented a storage bag and said respectfully, "Master, everything you ordered is inside."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "Well done, go back and practice well."
"Yes." Yu Que left respectfully.
Chu Xuan took the storage bag and immediately returned to the Aquamarine Star.
He instructed Ling Xueying and Yunque to collect two major categories of refining materials respectively.
Ling Xueying is the leader of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect. Yu Que leads many people from the other side, all of whom have excellent networks and connections, and can quickly find all the materials for him.
Moreover, there is some gap between the two, and there is no possibility of communication between them.
In this way, no one knew that he was refining the star-protecting formation.
"The Great Imperial Dragon Sect has the diagram for refining the Out-of-Body Stage Star Protection Formation, which should be enough."
Chu Xuan's mind moved, and he took out a set of refining diagrams.
He smiled and said, "This is my first time refining a formation for the Out-of-Body Stage. I wonder if I can succeed."
It turns out that with luck, nothing is impossible!
A year later, the formation was completed.
Because he didn't fail constantly like others in refining formations, the refining speed was also exceptionally fast.
Chu Xuan immediately took the battle flag and flew all over the Aquamarine Star.
Although the location for placing the battle flags has been roughly determined, we still need to conduct some on-site inspections before we can feel at ease.
After all, once the Star Protection Array is activated, it will consume a large amount of spirit stones and run for a long time.
If the formation becomes ineffective or its power is greatly reduced due to problems with the position of one or two flags, wouldn't that be a waste of time?
In the end, he had to check them one by one himself.
A few hours later, Chu Xuan flew high in the sky, overlooking the Aquamarine Planet and nodded with satisfaction.
He placed these thousands of formation flags in various places across the Blue Sea Star in various ways.
Most of them are buried deep under the rocks, and even the strongest military force of the Blue Sea Planet cannot penetrate them.
Another part is placed with sleight of hand.
In short, unless the surface of the Aquamarine Planet is plowed flat, the formation flags will not change and the formation will not become ineffective.
"Formation complete! Activate!"
As soon as Chu Xuan thought about it, the Star Protection Array immediately started operating at low power.
Seeing the entire Aquamarine Planet enveloped in a faint light, he nodded in relief.
Success at the first try!
The only advantage of this star-protecting formation is that it can operate at low power under normal circumstances.
Once a threat is encountered, the dormant flags will automatically awaken and join the formation.
This increases the power dramatically.
Chu Xuan returned to Planet Aquamarine and nodded in satisfaction. "With this method, even if a powerful Great Turbid Devil were to arrive, it wouldn't be able to quickly break through the planet-protecting formation. It wouldn't be enough to hold out until I show up."
He didn't waste any more time, but started to refine his clone.
Although there is still a small part of the materials that have not been found.
But refining a clone is a gradual process.
It doesn't happen overnight.
First, you have to refine the physical body, then separate the primordial spirit, and finally merge the spirit and the physical body into one.
Only in this way can the clone be considered complete.
Now he just needs to take the first step.
The rest can be done slowly.
Chu Xuan took out various materials and thought about something while refining his body.
"It is better to refine the free demon body first."
"The good thing about this clone is that it has no obvious flaws. It can cultivate spiritual power, temper the physical body, and sharpen the spiritual consciousness."
Time passes by little by little.
The outline of the physical body gradually appeared.
Only the face is blank, and the facial features have not been sculpted yet.
Chu Xuan thought about it and decided to pinch his face.
After all, it is the first clone.
Sometimes when there is no need for you to show up, or when it is risky to show up, you can let your clone show up.
One year, two years, three years...
This first clone became increasingly detailed.
From top to bottom, inside to outside, every detail is exactly the same as the original.
However, this clone still has its eyes closed and there is no life in its body.
Like a living dead.
Looking at this clone is like looking at another self.
Chu Xuan was sometimes a little dazed.
It is also easier to understand why some out-of-body cultivators become crazy after having a clone.
As for the possibility that the clone awakens itself and betrays the original.
The "Great Transformation and Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra" is a first-class magic technique, so it was naturally prepared long ago.
The possibility of the free demon body giving rise to self-awareness is very low.
If the free demon body is cleansed with the original consciousness every hundred years, and then soaked in special medicine, the possibility of the clone developing self-awareness can be completely eliminated.
Just when Chu Xuan was planning to continue refining the free demon body.
Suddenly, I saw the array plate next to me started to move on its own, and all the light spots lit up on their own!
Each light spot on the array plate corresponds to a array flag.
Only a few were lit before.
Now that they are all lit up, it means that the formation is operating at full power!
Chu Xuan chuckled, "It seems that the great demon of turbidity has really come."
"Let me see who you are."
He disappeared in a flash.
When it reappeared, it was already suspended high in the sky.
Under the protection of the Star Guarding Formation, the scenery of the Aquamarine Planet remains the same as before.
No one noticed that a great demon was about to break into this blue planet.
But outside the formation, the bloated and fat figure was attacking the formation fiercely.
However, the light shield of the formation only produced layer upon layer of ripples.
This filthy demon was gasping for breath after the fight, and seemed unable to understand why there was such a strange protective shield on the planet.
Chu Xuan crossed his arms and looked at the filthy demon with interest.
Since he can create ripples on the formation of the out-of-body stage, he should have the combat power equivalent to that of an out-of-body cultivator.
But when Chu Xuan got so close to him, he didn't even notice.
Obviously, it's just empty power.
The flaws are numerous.
This so-called big devil doesn't seem like a powerful figure, but more like a cannon fodder created casually.
Using the term cannon fodder to describe them doesn't seem quite appropriate.
At least he has to be a high-level cannon fodder.
After a while, the tired demon finally noticed Chu Xuan's existence and retreated in shock.
The great demon of turbidity opened his mouth wide, revealing rows and rows of sharp teeth, and let out an inhuman growl.
Seems to be saying something.
But Henry Chu didn't understand a word.
Chu Xuan expanded his spiritual sense and directly blasted into the mind of this big demon.
Only then did I hear the latter's voice.
"...Human, surrender to me, and Father God will grant you eternal life!"
Henry Chu sneered.
eternal life?
Even the Lord of Tribulation does not dare to talk about eternal life.
Your Father God can't even leave the Milky Way, so how can you talk about eternal life?
Yifeng also told him that the so-called Great Milky Way is a general term for the explored universe.
Henry Chu sneered, "Your Father God himself may not even have eternal life, and you want to grant me eternal life?"
The demon immediately became furious and attacked Chu Xuan.
He didn't think at all about why this human voice could ring in his mind.
Henry Chu shook his head slightly, "It seems that he is just a brainless idiot."
He stretched out his hand and a huge blood-red handprint suddenly appeared, which immediately knocked the demon away.
It was the out-of-body spell, the Blood Demon's Great Seal.
The big demon rolled over and got up as if nothing had happened, and charged towards Chu Xuan again.
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and condensed the Blood Demon Handprint again.
If one time doesn't work, try two times. If two times don't work, try three times.
The Blood Demon's handprints were slapped out eight times before the demon was beaten into a pool of meat paste.
But Chu Xuan could still sense a vitality that was so vigorous that it was almost pathological.
The soul of this great demon was not annihilated.
But it disappeared suddenly.
It doesn't look like he disappeared from the face of the earth.
It's more like... a return.
"Interesting." Chu Xuan showed a look of surprise and immediately brought him back to the Water Curtain Cave.
He casually ordered, "Xiao Hu, send a message to Hei Feng's men and ask them to bring Yi Feng here."
Xiaohu nodded heavily, but looked at the meat paste a few more times.
Henry Chu thought for a moment, "Want to eat?"
Little Tiger scratched his head innocently and said, "It seems to be something delicious."
Chu Xuan cut off a piece of the still-squirming flesh of the demon and threw it over. "Then take a couple of bites. If you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately."
Xiaohu swallowed it in one gulp.
Its body was like a furnace, rapidly refining this piece of flesh and blood.
Chu Xuan kept a close eye on Xiaohu's physical condition.
After a moment, Xiaohu raised his head and said, "Master, I seem to have become stronger."
Henry Chu nodded. He could also feel that Xiaohu's body had become stronger.
And it seems to have super high recovery ability.
Henry Chu nodded with satisfaction, "Since you like it, then eat it all."
Keeping the flesh and blood of this demon would be a disaster, so since Xiaohu can eat it, then let him eat it.
Anyway, if you give it to Xiaohu, it will actually improve his strength.
"Thank you, master!" The little tiger nodded gratefully and lay down to eat.
In a short while, the meat paste was eaten up by the tiger.
However, Chu Xuan still kept a piece for later use.
A moment later, Yifeng was brought here by Heifeng's men.
It has been a long time since we last saw each other. Yifeng's injury has long since healed and he has gained a lot of weight.
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Are you used to it these years?"
Yifeng nodded respectfully, "Very good! The food on Planet Aquamarine is very much to my liking!"
"Respected Yan Clan warrior, you asked me to come here. It must be something important, right?"
Chu Xuan took out the piece of flesh and blood of the big demon and placed it in front of Yifeng.
Yifeng was stunned at first, and then he stepped back in fear.
He was horrified, "This, this, this... Such filthy flesh and blood!"
Chu Xuan said casually, "This is the flesh and blood of that turbid demon. He found Aquamarine Star a while ago, but I have already eliminated him."
"This is all that's left of him."
Yifeng was stunned and dumbfounded.
That's a big demon!
He easily killed his two Quan-level colleagues.
Now there is only this little bit left?
But such a foul aura... is indeed no different from that of the great demon.
In this case, the strength of this powerful Yan clan member is probably even greater than he imagined!
Yifeng became even more respectful and humble, "Respected Yan Clan warrior, thank you for eliminating a great demon. The Milky Way will be at peace again in the future."
"We separated in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to ask your name."
Chu Xuan thought for a moment before saying, "Xuan, just call me Xuan."
Yifeng looked puzzled, "Xuan?"
"Okay, but I can't call you by your first name either."
"You can easily kill a great demon. You are at least a level 100-level cultivator among the ancient orders."
"You are my senior, so I should address you as my superior."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "No hurry, I haven't decided whether to join the ancient order."
"But you, if your spaceship crashes, how will you return to the Ancient Order?"
Yifeng nodded. "In the short time since I started, I've been thinking about this as well. Later, I've gradually learned the language of Aquamarine and interacted more with the people from Black Blade and the Enlightenment Academy. Gradually, I stopped thinking about leaving."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Why?"
Yifeng said solemnly, "The ideal of our ancient order is to help the entire race ascend, to escape the corruption of Chaos and the great enemies from outside the realm."
"Since I can't leave Planet Aquamarine now, I'll establish a branch of the Ancient Order right here on Planet Aquamarine and teach the people here how to manipulate psychic energy."
"And I noticed that there are still quite a few zombies on Planet Aquamarine. They are all potential followers of the Filth."
"If the filth army attacks again one day in the future, we must at least have the strength to fight. We cannot rely on you, the Supreme, for everything."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
This sounds nice.
He smiled and said, "Just go for it. I support you. The people from Heifeng and Wudaoyuan will also cooperate with you."
"I see that you have a good body. In fact, you can also practice the body training methods I taught them."
"Both of these advances go hand in hand, and can also prevent the body from becoming too weak."
Yifeng nodded excitedly, "Yes, I also think the body-refining methods practiced on Aquamarine are very good!"
The two talked for a while before Chu Xuan asked Heifeng's men to send Yifeng back.
"By the way, I have one last question before you go."
"Why did his soul disappear after I killed the demon?"
Henry Chu suddenly asked.
Yifeng asked doubtfully, "Supreme position, don't you know?"
"All Chaos Demons and Corrupted Ones, their souls are protected by the Foul."
"If their bodies die, their souls will return to the hotbed of filth."
"It won't be long. Under the nourishment of this hotbed of filth, they will be reborn and plunge back into the endless battle."
"This is the most terrifying thing about filth."
"His followers cannot be killed or destroyed!"
After Yifeng left, Henry Chu was still thinking about this problem.
The souls of the great demons under Zhuo Gu will return to their hotbed. Wouldn't fighting and killing be futile?
Is there any way to take its soul?
"If Zhuo Gu has this ability, his strength must be greater than mine."
"However, there are so many strange methods in the world of immortal cultivation. Maybe we can find a way to forcibly seize souls."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He took a step forward and returned to Yulong Star.
…
"The gray fog appears again?"
After listening to Ling Xueying's report, Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown.
This was the third time in a row that he had heard Ling Xueying report about the gray fog.
At the beginning, it was still in Wufeng Mountain and the territory of Tiandu Sect, which was far away from the Dayulong Sect.
Some time ago, an ordinary star called "Lu Star" suddenly appeared not far from Yulong Star.
There are many rare mineral deposits on Luxing, so there are monks from the Dayulong Sect stationed there all year round.
There is a permanent Nascent Soul deacon, five Golden Core disciples, twenty Foundation Establishment disciples, and tens of thousands of mortal miners.
Ling Xueying said in a deep voice, "According to the sect's rules, we must send a message to the sect once every five years. A while ago was the stipulated day, but they failed to send the message."
"The Nascent Soul Deacon stationed there is Elder Dong's nephew. He personally led people to investigate. Tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are shrouded in gray fog."
"Elder Dong didn't dare to go deeper and had to come back."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding, "That is the Nether Mist. Even if a Divine Transformation cultivator accidentally enters it, it would be extremely difficult to escape."
"I will go there in person."
The strength of the Dark Mist is positively correlated with the coverage of the Dark Mist.
This dark fog only covers tens of thousands of miles, so I don't think the dark fog will be that strong.
In addition, he had previous experience of going deep into the dark fog.
It won't be too difficult to deal with this Ming Wuzi.
Ling Xueying said in a deep voice, "Ancestor, I will go with you."
Henry Chu waved his hand, "No need, I'll take Yun Que with me."
Ling Xueying looked at Chu Xuan's departing back and could only sigh.
"The ancestor always takes Yun Que with him wherever he goes, and even takes her into the Dark Mist. Isn't this to help Yun Que gain experience?"
"Is his partiality towards Yun Que paving the way for Yun Que to succeed him as the clan leader in the future?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt a heavy sense of crisis rising in her heart.
"No, I also need to practice as quickly as possible to improve my strength. I must surpass Yun Que in cultivation!"
…
Deer Star, beyond the dark fog.
As soon as Chu Xuan and Yun Que arrived here, they saw a figure escaping from the dark fog in a panic.
Chu Xuan took a few steps forward, took a closer look at the man's face, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, why are you so embarrassed?"
This person's name is Sun Changhao, and he is the ancestor of the Wufeng Mountain who has achieved the state of out-of-body experience.
After returning to Jiuyou Palace, he had already read through the information of the Jiuyou Palace's out-of-body cultivators and knew it by heart.
After all, I will be staying in Jiuyou Palace for a long time, and it would be embarrassing if I don't even know who my colleagues are.
Sun Changhao and his Taoist partner An Mingrong are very unique.
The two of them practiced unique complementary skills, which enabled them to successfully break through and enter the out-of-body stage even though their potential was almost exhausted.
To many people, their breakthrough seemed like a miracle.
Moreover, if Sun Changhao and An Mingrong were together, their combat power would be comparable to that of a mid-stage out-of-body realm.
But if they are separated, their strength will drop significantly, equivalent to a newly achieved out-of-body state.
When Sun Changhao saw Chu Xuan, his eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, "Fellow Daoist Chu... never mind, your presence is useless..."
Henry Chu smiled, "Why not tell me about it."
Sun Changhao sighed, "Eradicating the Dark Mist will earn us a lot of contributions to the sect. Mingrong...she is determined to enter the Dark Mist."
"The two of us killed many fog shadows, but in the end we were still no match for Ming Wuzi."
"I luckily escaped, but Mingrong was swept away by Ming Wuzi just as she was about to come out."
"The Dark Mist here is very powerful, not as it seems."
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I'm going to ask the main sect leader for help. For safety reasons, you'd better not go in."
After saying this, he took out the tower ship and sped towards Jiuyou Star.
Sun Changhao's intention was naturally to invite Zheng Yanshi and Pan Mingzhu who were stationed on Jiuyou Star.
Chu Xuan looked at the swirling gray fog, thoughtfully.
Yun Que said worriedly, "Master, let's wait outside."
Henry Chu shook his head slightly, "There's something I need in here."
"And it can also help your practice."
Skylark reacted immediately.
The Dark Mist Method was probably obtained from Dark Mist Zi.
Chu Xuan said casually, "After you practice this method, you cannot enter the dark fog, otherwise it will be very easy to be assimilated and corrupted."
"Just wait outside."
Yunque said anxiously, "But Master..."
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "Why, do you think my strength is weaker than Sun Changhao and the others?"
Skylark quickly shook his head, "Skylark doesn't dare."
Chu Xuan didn't say anything else, but took a step forward and stepped directly into the dark fog.
Yunque was pacing back and forth outside, his brow furrowed.
She has always been in awe of Henry Chu's strength.
But this is a disaster!
No matter how powerful a cultivator is, he will be severely suppressed once he falls into the disaster!
…
A few days later, Jiuyou Star.
When Zheng Yanshi heard the news, he strode out and immediately saw Sun Changhao.
Sun Changhao was now extremely anxious. When he saw Zheng Yanshi, he immediately said, "Mr. Zheng! Come with me quickly. Mingrong can't hold on for much longer!"
"Fellow Daoist Chu is also on Luxing. When we get there, we'll go in together. That way, we'll definitely find Mingrong and rescue her!"
Zheng Yanshi nodded in understanding.
As they set off, Shangguan Youlian followed, "Mr. Zheng, I'll go take a look too!"
Zheng Yanshi was at a loss for words, "Young Master, this isn't a sight to behold, this is a dark fog, a disaster."
"If it suddenly expands and envelops you, my life won't be enough to pay homage to the ancestors."
Shangguan Youlian said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, I'll just watch from afar. If all else fails, I'll just float in the starry sky."
Zheng Yanshi sighed softly.
He knew the character of this young master, and no one could stop him once he wanted to do something.
Zheng Yanshi sighed, "Okay, let's set off now."
…
Deer Star.
Skylark is still waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, the dark fog surged violently, and then collapsed at an extremely fast speed.
After a while, they all disappeared.
Only two figures were left there.
It was Henry Chu and a graceful woman who was unconscious.
Skylark exclaimed in surprise, "Master!"
Henry Chu smiled slightly, pointed at the graceful woman and said, "That person is An Mingrong, help her up."
Yunque nodded and helped An Mingrong up.
The latter was covered in wounds, obviously having been attacked by fog shadows many times in the dark fog.
If Chu Xuan had not killed Ming Wuzi, An Mingrong would probably have died in the dark fog.
Henry Chu asked casually, "How many days have passed?"
He had no concept of time in the dark fog.
Skylark said respectfully, "Two days."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Two days? It seems that Sun Changhao and the others haven't come yet."
"There's no need to waste time. Let's take An Mingrong to Yulong Star first."
"I'm leaving a message here."
As he spoke, he sent out a jade slip of spiritual consciousness, which floated in the air.
As soon as you come here, you can find it immediately.
Then, the two of them took the unconscious An Mingrong onto the ship and left Luxing.
A few days later, An Mingrong slowly woke up.
Seeing herself in an unfamiliar environment, she became extremely alert.
She pushed the door open, but found that there was no gatekeeper.
Occasionally, a few disciples could be seen, but they all ran past without even glancing at the people around them.
"Dayulong Sect's Taoist robe?"
"Why did I end up in the Great Imperial Dragon Sect? Wasn't I trapped in the Dark Mist?"
An Mingrong rubbed her head, still feeling as if she were in a dream.
She finally caught a Jindan disciple and asked, "Is this the Great Imperial Dragon Sect? Why am I here?"
The Jindan disciple said respectfully, "Report to the True Lord, it was the ancestor who brought you back. I don't know the specific details."
"Please let me go. I need to hurry up and cultivate the Gu worms."
An Mingrong captured several more disciples in succession, and the stories she heard were pretty much the same.
Some people don't even know who she is.
But these disciples were all eager to practice.
Either go to the martial arts arena to fight, or go to the insect valley to cultivate poisonous insects, or go to carry out sect missions.
Everyone is busy as hell.
An Mingrong suddenly felt strange. "Strange, really strange. When did the Great Imperial Dragon Sect become like this?"
She shuttled through the Dayulong Sect and soon arrived at the sect's main hall.
She floated in mid-air and said loudly, "I am An Mingrong, the Out-of-Body Patriarch of Wufeng Mountain and the leader of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect. Come out!"
When the voice spread, the disciples who were working tirelessly paused, glanced at An Mingrong, and continued to do their own things.
After a while, a figure rose up and said respectfully, "I am Ling Xueying, the Sect Master of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect. I am honored to meet Master An."
An Mingrong frowned and said, "Where is Henry Chu? I want to see him."
Ling Xueying nodded, "Master, please follow me."
A moment later, An Mingrong came to Lingzhu Mountain under the leadership of Ling Xueying.
Ling Xueying took out a sound transmission talisman, inserted it into the talisman, and said, "Master An, please wait for a while. Once the ancestor disperses the fog, you can enter."
"Xueying still needs to practice, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
An Mingrong frowned slightly.
After a while, the fog parted, revealing a winding road.
She stepped inside and after a while, the view suddenly opened up before her.
A figure was sitting in a small pavilion by the pond, sipping tea alone.
It was Chu Xuan.
Henry Chu said casually, "Sit down. Fellow Daoist Sun hasn't come yet. It must be some time."
An Mingrong came up to Chu Xuan, looked him up and down carefully, and then bowed. "Fellow Daoist Chu? I've heard of your name for a long time, and today I finally see your true face."
"I was already deeply trapped in the dark fog, but Fellow Daoist Chu saved me?"
Chu Xuan smiled, "I killed that Ming Wuzi, and you naturally escaped from the fog. I think I saved you."
An Mingrong looked surprised.
She and Sun Changhao had fought against Ming Wuzi before.
Therefore, we know the true strength of that Dark Mist Child.
The two of them worked together in perfect harmony, and only managed to narrowly defeat Ming Wuzi.
How powerful is Chu Xuan to be able to kill Ming Wuzi?
An Mingrong's eyes suddenly softened when she looked at Henry Chu.
It also brings a bit more awe.
She said in a deep voice, "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Chu. I will definitely remember this life-saving grace."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Sit down."
An Mingrong sat down and took a sip, nodding repeatedly. "What kind of magical tea is this? It has such a bitter and sweet taste. I've never tasted anything like it before."
Chu Xuan smiled, "Kumaofeng, the spiritual tea I brought from Cangxuan Star, I also like this tea the most."
An Mingrong nodded repeatedly.
The two of them sat opposite each other, drinking tea in silence.
After a while, Chu Xuan put down the teacup and said casually, "Now, can you tell me where you got the Fallen Cultivation Method?"
An Mingrong's hand suddenly trembled as she drank tea.
But it was just a slight shake, and he didn't lose his composure.
She chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, what are you talking about? A fallen cultivator is a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to kill him. What does that evil technique of the fallen cultivator have to do with me?"
Chu Xuan said calmly, "I don't know what kind of Fallen Cultivation Method you are practicing, but if you force yourself to practice it without any external aid, the only outcome will be going astray and becoming possessed."
"Do you know how Ming Wuzi came about?"
"Only a small portion was conceived by the Nether Mist Mother, while a large portion was formed from the fallen form of cultivators."
Chu Xuan glanced at An Mingrong a few more times, took a sip, and said, "Friend An, I'm sure you don't want to become that kind of person."
An Mingrong's face was swollen and her lips turned pale.
But he still forced a laugh and said, "I don't understand what Fellow Daoist Chu is talking about."
Henry Chu smiled faintly and didn't care.
It's right to be tough.
No matter what, An Mingrong could not admit that she was a fallen cultivator.
Otherwise, you will be attacked by everyone.
Just as Chu Xuan never thought of himself as a fallen cultivator.
As for the demon cultivators...
What kind of demon cultivator?
It is clearly a great merit!
Chu Xuan took out a bottle of pills and pushed it in front of An Mingrong. "The Great Dust-Cleansing Pill has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit. It can suppress the erosion of the mind by the Fallen Cultivation Method."
An Mingrong was stunned, and immediately took the Da Di Chen Dan, uncorked the bottle, and put it to her nose to take a light sniff.
She immediately felt the restless feeling in her body subside slightly.
The look she gave Henry Chu suddenly changed.
Getting a little hot.
She smiled and said, "The cultivation method I'm practicing requires this kind of elixir. Fellow Daoist Chu, please name a price."
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "A bottle of three thousand great spirit stones."
An Mingrong's eyes widened. "Three thousand great spirit stones? That's enough to buy a bottle of low-grade Out-of-Body Stage elixir! This is clearly just a Spiritual Transformation Stage elixir, and the most expensive one is only a thousand great spirit stones! Chu Xuan, you're asking for too much!"
Chu Xuan sipped his tea leisurely, not even glancing at An Mingrong.
An Mingrong gnashed her teeth at first, but eventually said in a friendly tone, "How about two thousand great spirit stones?"
Chu Xuan continued to sip tea, looking at the sky, the earth, and the pond, but not at An Mingrong.
"Two thousand five hundred!"
"Two thousand seven hundred! I can do one thing for you unconditionally!"
An Mingrong called out several times in succession, and seeing that Henry Chu remained indifferent, she had no choice but to accept her fate, "Okay, three thousand is three thousand."
She tossed over three thousand large spirit stones and immediately took the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill.
Henry Chu then put down the teacup and smiled, "Happy transaction."
When he entered the dark fog before, he felt that something was wrong with An Mingrong.
Just after killing Ming Wuzi, he found An Mingrong in a coma.
After approaching the woman, he immediately smelled a scent similar to that of a lark.
It is basically 80% possible to conclude that this person has also practiced the Dark Mist Technique.
It was for this reason that he planned to sell the Da Dichen Pill.
Previously, in order to practice the "Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method", he refined a lot of Dachen Pills in one breath.
Nowadays, this method is so advanced that the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill is no longer effective.
Now there is an additional sales channel.
"The cost of the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill is only one hundred Great Spiritual Stones, and the normal sales price is only four hundred Great Spiritual Stones."
"Now if I sell it to a fallen cultivator, I can directly sell it for three thousand great spirit stones."
"And it can be sold for a long time."
"The profit from this is really considerable!"
Henry Chu couldn't help but smile kindly.
At this moment, suddenly another sound transmission note flew into the fog.
Chu Xuan grabbed in the air, and Sun Changhao's voice came out.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chu, for saving my Taoist companion's life! I, Sun, have come specially to express my gratitude!"
Henry Chu smiled slightly and casually opened the fog, revealing a winding passage.
"Friend Sun is here to take you back." He said casually.
An Mingrong cursed the profiteer inwardly and quickly put away the Da Dichen Pill.
After a while, Sun Changhao, Zheng Yanshi and Shangguan Youlian came together.
Sun Changhao was relieved when he saw that An Mingrong was safe and sound.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I didn't expect that it was you who rescued Mingrong. I really don't know how to thank you!" Sun Changhao quickly came to Chu Xuan, very grateful.
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Since we are both elders of the Jiuyou Palace who have reached the state of out-of-body experience, we are colleagues. Saving Fellow Daoist An is my duty, so there is no need for gratitude."
Zheng Yanshi sighed, "Fellow Daoist Chu, was it you who killed Lu Xing's Dark Mist Child?"
Chu Xuan nodded, "I have dealt with Ming Wuzi in the Dark Realm before, so I have some experience."
Most cultivators suffered a great loss of strength after entering the dark fog simply because their spiritual consciousness was suppressed.
But he has the Black Tortoise Pearl in his hand.
The dark fog, the most powerful method, had no effect on him.
Zheng Yanshi nodded slightly.
He also knew that Chu Xuan had accidentally entered the dark fog in the dark domain.
Now that I think about it, the Ming Wuzi from the Dark Realm was probably also killed by Chu Xuan.
It seems that Chu Xuan's true strength is probably beyond his expectations.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Xuan looked at Shangguan Youlian and chuckled.
Shangguan Youlian smiled sheepishly, "Master Chu is so powerful that I admire him deeply."
"When will you break out of your body?" Chu Xuan asked.
Shangguan Youlian said solemnly, "In the next three to five years, I have been ready."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
Shangguan Youlian could have achieved the out-of-body state long ago, but the reason she continued to suppress it was perhaps because she wanted to break through to several small realms in one go.
Zheng Yanshi added, "According to the rules set by our ancestors, killing a Dark Mist Child will earn you 10,000 tributes."
"If Fellow Daoist Chu needs anything, you can go to Jiuyou Star to exchange it."
"Ten thousand contributions can be exchanged for a lot of fine treasures."
When they heard about the contribution of 10,000, Sun Changhao and An Mingrong showed visible envy.
"That's great. We will definitely go to Jiuyou Star tomorrow." Chu Xuan nodded.
"Then we'll take our leave." Sun Changhao bowed to Chu Xuan again.
Everyone left together.
Lingzhu Mountain became quiet again.
Chu Xuan returned to the Water Curtain Cave on the Blue Sea Star and began to refine the elixir.
Previously, I got a bottle of out-of-body elixir that has the effect of calming the mind at the Treasure Conference in the Dark Realm, but I have never had the time to reverse-engineer its formula.
Now that I have some free time, I can take this opportunity to study this pill.
…
Winter goes and spring comes.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Spring is here and flowers are blooming on Yulong Star.
It is already a good time for many poisonous insects to breed and reproduce.
Especially the most unique poisonous insect of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect, the "Green Eyed Dragon", which can only be bred in these short ten days.
The disciples of the Dayulong Sect became extremely busy, and they wished they could split one person into eight and use him as their own.
After all, these one or two are contributions from a large number of sects.
As long as you can earn enough sect contributions, you can convert them into combat power and achieve a better ranking in the sect competition.
In this way, you can avoid being thrown into the insect valley and used as food for poisonous insects.
Today, a ship suddenly appeared in the sky above Yulong Star.
Dan Jieli jumped down from the ship and landed lightly on the ground.
"Strange... I just walked in like that, and no cultivators from the Great Imperial Dragon Sect came to stop me?"
She scratched her head, quite surprised.
After all, it's a sixth-level cultivation sect, so it has no defenses at all, right?
Dan Jieli flew all the way and soon arrived at the gate of Dayulong Sect.
There were hardly any monks to be seen along the way.
It's like they're all hidden.
She muttered to herself as she arrived at the mountain gate, "Could it be that there aren't even any gatekeeper disciples?"
Then she discovered that there were indeed two gatekeeper disciples in front of the ten thousand steps leading to the mountain gate.
But these two disciples were sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing.
One of them even fell into a state of enlightenment.
He had no intention of fulfilling his duty as gatekeeper.
Dan Jieli couldn't help but feel ashamed, "The cultivation atmosphere of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect... is really rich."
"It seems that Henry Chu really knows how to motivate his disciples!"
She did not disturb the two men, but climbed up the mountain without touching the ground. After a while, she actually entered the Dayulong Sect.
There are cultivators coming and going within the Dayulong Sect.
But everyone was in a hurry and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Everyone seems to be busy with their own things.
Dan Jieli shook his head repeatedly and headed straight for Lingzhu Mountain.
Anyway, I've been here once, so I'm very familiar with the place.
Not long after, she and Chu Xuan sat opposite each other in the pavilion by the pond.
"Fellow Daoist Dan from Wanxing Immortal Palace, why are you looking for me again?" Chu Xuan chuckled.
Dan Jie Li took out a bag of tea and handed it over. "I heard you like drinking tea. This is my master's favorite tea, called Snow Queen's First Clearness. I'm giving it to you!"
Chu Xuan didn't take it, but just looked at Dan Jieli with a half-smile, "No reward without merit, just put it aside for now."
If someone offers you something right away, you absolutely cannot accept it.
You must listen to the other party's request.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to refuse because you would be reluctant to do so.
Dan Jie Li smiled awkwardly, "I want to ask you to do something."
"Tell me about it." Chu Xuan sipped his bitter Maofeng tea and said casually.
Dan Jieli said in distress, "Originally, I could have gone back after obtaining the Black Tortoise Pearl, but there are no other Immortal Palace disciples in the Xuanyin Star Region, so... the higher-ups have assigned me a new mission."
"What do you need this time?" Chu Xuan asked without raising his head.
Dan Jie Li chuckled, "It's still the Black Tortoise Pearl, but it needs to contain a Dark Mist Child."
Chu Xuan frowned, "Your Majesty probably doesn't know how difficult it is to capture a Dark Mist Child alive."
The Ming Wuzi from the Dark Realm was taken away by Luo Zu.
It is not surprising that powerful people like Luo Zuna, who can eat Lianxu alive, have the means to take Ming Wuzi away directly.
But he is just a new out-of-body person.
He was able to kill Ming Wuzi, but was unable to capture him alive.
If we try to capture him alive, I'm afraid Ming Wuzi will retaliate against us.
Dan Jie Li patted her flat chest and said, "And me!"
"I know how to use the Black Tortoise Pearl to imprison Ming Wuzi."
"This thing was originally created to imprison Ming Wuzi."
"You and I will go together, and catching one Dark Mist Child will be enough."
"Leave the rest to my senior brother! He'll be here in a few years!"
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you go alone?"
Dan Jieli shook his head. "Don't underestimate me because I'm a disciple of the Myriad Stars Palace. I just know a little more, but my fighting skills aren't that strong."
"I definitely can't defeat a Dark Mist Child alone."
"That's why I need your help."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "In that case, let's get down to business."
"What about the reward?"
Dan Jieli felt a pain on his face, but he still had to untie the coarse cloth and show his collection to Chu Xuan.
"You choose..."
Chu Xuan's gaze darted through the crowd, and he suddenly asked, "The disciples of Wanxing Immortal Palace should often deal with fallen disasters, fallen cultivators, and fallen things, right?"
Dan Jieli nodded, "Yes."
Chu Xuan, "I heard that people who deal with fallen creatures, even if they don't practice the Fallen Cultivation Method, will easily become Fallen over time."
"Aren't the disciples of Wanxing Immortal Palace afraid of falling?"
Dan Jie Li shook his head, "Of course we are afraid, but we will all practice a supplementary technique that can greatly delay our degeneration."
Henry Chu smiled and asked, "Can this technique be traded?"
Dan Jie Li hesitated, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Henry Chu nodded. "Do you think its value is too high?"
Dan Jie Li shook his head. "No, I think its value is too low. It can't be compared with my collection at all."
Chu Xuan burst out laughing.
The martial arts used by the Wanxing Immortal Palace to resist degeneration are so worthless in your words?
Dan Jieli took out a spiritual jade slip and stuffed it into Chu Xuan's hand.
"Here, it's for you."
"Every disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Immortal Palace must practice this technique, and the Immortal Palace never restricts its transmission to outsiders."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
No restrictions on spin-offs?
He immediately placed it between his eyebrows, and the golden scriptures immediately flooded into his mind.
"The Supreme Pure Heart Sutra..."
He murmured.
Dan Jie Li said nonchalantly, "This 'Taishang Qingxin Sutra' requires constant meditation and practice. It has five levels in total, and most people can easily learn the first level."
"But starting from the second level, it becomes much more difficult and the conditions are extremely harsh."
"I'm too lazy to practice, so I'm still at the first level."
"I advise you to just practice the first level. The cost-effectiveness of the next four levels is too low."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "It's okay, it's enough."
He has a lot to do next.
Further practicing the "Taiyin Falling Dragon Eating Air Method" is one of them.
To practice this method, one needs the help of elixirs that can help one calm the mind and concentrate.
But when he was talking with Dan Jieli just now, he suddenly thought of something.
The disciples of the Wanxing Immortal Palace travel around the country, collecting secrets and keeping secrets, and they are bound to come into contact with disasters frequently.
Dan Jieli might have a way to suppress degeneration.
I never thought it really existed.
After practicing this "Tai Shang Qing Xin Jing" in the future, you will have an additional means to suppress degeneration and resist pollution.
Naturally, it can also further accelerate his understanding of the "Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method".
Dan Jieli nodded, "Then, the deal is done."
"You, the Jiuyou Palace, are also clearing the dark fog in the territory, so I will stay in the Dayulong Sect."
"Next time the Dark Mist appears, we'll rush over together."
Henry Chu nodded, "Yes."
Dan Jie Li asked curiously, "By the way, I want to ask you a question. Why are the disciples of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect so diligent and hardworking?"
"I heard that before you came here, the cultivation atmosphere of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect was quite slack."
Henry Chu chuckled, "Aren't you going to stay here for a while? See for yourself."
Dan Jieli nodded, "Okay! I'll go check it out right away!"
Two days passed.
Dan Jieli came to Lingzhu Mountain again, and his eyes changed when he looked at Chu Xuan.
I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Chu Xuan took a sip of Kumaofeng and asked casually, "Do you think I'm cruel?"
Dan Jieli nodded first, then shook his head.
Chu Xuan asked curiously, "Oh?"
Dan Jie Li shook his head repeatedly, "In the eyes of those disciples who were thrown into the Insect Valley to feed the Gu worms because of their lack of strength, you are indeed cruel."
"But your actions are beneficial to the entire sect."
"It's actually a positive cycle."
"This matter... is difficult to judge."
Henry Chu smiled slightly and continued to sip his tea.
"...and, the Shura Killing Realm has always done this." Dan Jie Li said softly.
Chu Xuan was puzzled, "Ashura Killing Realm?"
Dan Jieli nodded, "One of the six sects of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, the Shura Killing Realm."
"A sacred place for the devil, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a road paved with bones, and a world of ghosts... these are the descriptions given to the Shura Killing Realm by the outside world."
"The rules of the Shura Killing Realm have always been like this. After every competition, the disciples who rank lower will become material for others."
"Precisely because of this, the Shura Killing Realm has always been very powerful, on par with the Kunlun Sword Sect."
Chu Xuan became more and more curious, "Then why couldn't the Shura Killing World model be promoted?"
Dan Jie Li rolled his eyes. "Of course, it was opposed by the other sects of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."
"In the end, the Shura Killing Realm did not promote this model widely, but I heard that many small sects are following this rule."
"Either spontaneously or under instructions from above."
At the end of the conversation, Dan Jieli suddenly asked, "Are you from the Shura Killing Realm?"
Chu Xuan laughed dumbly, "No, before you mentioned the Shura Killing Realm, I didn't even know the existence of this ninth-level cultivation sect."
Dan Jie Li waved his hand, "With your ability, you will probably be noticed by the people of Shura Killing Realm soon."
"I hope we won't become enemies someday."
Henry Chu thought for a moment, "Why do you say that?"
Dan Jieli pondered for a long time before saying, "The six sects of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance have always had ideological disputes."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
The struggle of ideas even surpasses the struggle of interests.
Two types of people with different beliefs are bound to fight to the death until the road is clear!
The two chatted for a while, and then Chu Xuan had Dan Jieli arranged in the cave next to him.
He has other things to do.
…
Aquamarine Star, Water Curtain Cave.
"I don't understand this psychic octahedron..."
Chu Xuan turned the cube in his hand over and over again, but he could not see anything unusual.
This psychic octahedron is completely different from the hexahedron he had obtained before.
No matter how he urged it, there was no response.
"Is it really as Yifeng said, that only the top seven people in the ancient order can open it?" He couldn't help but frown.
Yifeng had been on the Aquamarine Planet for a long time, and his vigilance had gradually relaxed.
After seeing how powerful Chu Xuan was, he felt even more admiration for him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Xuan asked indirectly whether the previous attack by the demon had any other purpose.
Yifeng hesitated for a long time, and finally gave another reason.
It turned out that the main task of Yifeng's three-person team was not to find the origin star of the Yanhan Dynasty, but to deliver this psychic octahedron to an ancient person.
In order to confuse the Chaos Demons, there were six such teams, flying out of the Milky Way in six different directions.
Each team carries a Psionic Octahedron.
After being attacked by the big demon, Yifeng knew that it would be difficult for him to complete his primary mission. However, he accidentally found the origin planet of the Yanhan Dynasty and landed on the Aquamarine Planet.
"Since I can't activate it, there's no need to waste time on it. I have more things to do."
Chu Xuan calmed down and continued to deduce the recipe for the Dust-Transforming Pill.
