Chapter 557 - Chapter 790

Chu Xuan leaped up and stepped onto Tianlong's solid back.

The dragon flapped its wings, raising a cloud of dust, and immediately flew towards the southwest.

Chu Xuan looked into the distance in that direction and saw a particularly lush and verdant forest that seemed to have a strange vitality.

It doesn't match the color of the ancient forest.

That area is far away from the land of Dafeng Kingdom.

Tianlong said in a deep voice, "That is the Earth Mother Forest, where the Earth Mother lives."

"There are many small and large earth gods in the Earth Mother Forest, and most of them have been infected by the Mourning Plague."

"Those who were not infected by the plague were either eaten or fled."

"However, few people escape from the Earth Mother Forest alive."

Henry Chu nodded slightly.

The man and the dragon advanced at high speed, and soon they arrived outside the Mother Earth Forest.

Standing in front of these tall and primitive trees, Chu Xuan immediately felt the malice directed towards them.

They should be the small and big earth gods who have been completely infected by the zombie plague.

"They are coming." Chu Xuan reminded.

Tianlong nodded, and thunder surged in his huge mouth.

The next moment, a thick pillar of lightning suddenly spurted out and directly hit the forest.

In just a moment, countless trees were destroyed and a wide road was blasted out.

Wherever the lightning column passed, all living things were annihilated into ashes.

A moment later, a rustling sound was heard in the Mother Earth Forest.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of monsters rushed out of the forest and headed straight towards Tianlong.

These monsters have various shapes, including giant trees, groups of mushrooms, flying flowers...

Many of them are exactly the same as the portraits of the small earth gods and the big earth gods that Chu Xuan has seen.

But now they have become extremely crazy and irrational.

Normally, the small earth gods and the big earth gods would have retreated long ago when they saw a powerful creature like the Tianlong.

But they were completely clueless and charged straight ahead to kill.

It's obviously beyond saving.

Chu Xuan did not make a move. Tianlong spewed out lightning from his mouth and easily eliminated these small and big earth gods.

Seeing that no more monsters rushed out, Tianlong carried Chu Xuan straight into the Earth Mother Forest.

Chu Xuan expanded his spiritual sense and kept an eye on possible threats around him.

After a while, they arrived at the center of the Earth Mother Forest.

In front of us is a mushroom as huge as a mountain.

There are all kinds of small mushrooms growing on the mushroom body.

Anyone who sees it for the first time will definitely think they have encountered a mushroom mountain range.

There are huge numbers of corpses scattered around the Mushroom Mountain Range.

There are giant dragon-shaped beasts, groups of dragon-born people, and various small and large earth gods.

In order to steal the nutrients in their bodies, narrow and thorny vines extended from the Mushroom Mountain Range and pierced into their bodies!

Without Tianlong's reminder, Chu Xuan knew that the person in front of him must be Mother Earth.

Now Mother Earth is still motionless, obviously still dormant.

At this time, Tianlong looked at Mother Earth with complicated eyes.

To him, Mother Earth is a senior and a friend.

But after being infected with the Zombie Plague, the Earth Mother killed many of his subordinates, infected him with the Zombie Plague as well, and wanted to eat him!

"Go ahead, God." Tianlong said in a deep voice.

Henry Chu nodded and was about to speak.

But he found that the Mushroom Mountain Range in front of him began to shake.

He woke up!

"Go all out!" Chu Xuan said immediately.

Tianlong said nothing and spit out lightning from his mouth.

Silver-white lightning surged out, completely covering the Mushroom Mountain Range in front of them in an instant.

Without saying a word, Chu Xuan immediately mobilized the power in the blood meteor, condensed it into a giant hoof that could carry the mountain and attacked fiercely.

Boom boom boom!

The violent force roared away, completely submerging the Mushroom Mountain Range in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose up and light shot out.

The Mushroom Mountain Range is completely invisible.

Chu Xuan instinctively felt something strange.

Something is not right.

It's a bit too simple.

He grabbed Tianlong, who was still spitting out lightning, and said, "Wait."

Tianlong was very puzzled.

But he had great respect for Chu Xuan, so he stopped and waited quietly after hearing what he said.

After a while, the smoke and dust cleared.

The trees and corpses around the Mushroom Mountains were blown to pieces.

But the mushrooms on the surface of the Mushroom Mountain began to grow again at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few blinks of an eye, it returned to its original appearance.

In other words, Chu Xuan and Tianlong's indiscriminate bombardment just now had almost no effect.

Tianlong was also extremely shocked by this scene, "God, what is going on?"

"This has never happened before when I fought against the Earth Mother."

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and spread out his spiritual sense, carefully exploring the changes in every inch of the surrounding space.

"This is not the real Earth Mother, it's just a shell."

"The real Mother Earth..."

He suddenly looked around.

I was shocked to find that the towering and vibrant trees around me were now rotten.

There are all kinds of mushrooms growing on it.

Red, white, yellow, green...

They are extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

These mushrooms were there at the beginning, but not many.

Just now, it took advantage of their attack on the Mushroom Mountain to grow wildly and kept approaching them.

Tianlong looked around, his eyes changed and became extremely solemn.

He opened his mouth and sprayed lightning, but it only burned some of the mushrooms.

The latter grew back at an extremely fast speed.

And the longer it gets, the more it grows.

Henry Chu said in a deep voice, "Don't use thunder and lightning. Your method has been remembered by Mother Earth."

"These mushrooms are extremely resistant to lightning."

Tianlong's eyes became more serious.

If this were true, they would probably be surrounded by mushrooms and become food for Mother Earth.

"I thought I had no chance to take action, but it seems I still have to take action." Chu Xuan sighed in his heart.

Before setting off, he thought that Tianlong's strength had recovered at least 80%, and the impact of the zombie plague was minimal, so it should not be difficult to deal with the Earth Mother alone.

He just needs to swoop in from the side.

I didn't expect that Mother Earth had changed so much that she had even evolved resistance to lightning.

Tianlong's most powerful killer move is like a tickle to Mother Earth.

Tianlong said in a deep voice, "God, I will hold you back, you go first."

"As long as you are here, the day will come when the plague of mourning will be eradicated."

As he spoke, he once again accumulated lightning and was about to spit it out.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a hint of coldness.

It seemed as if something terrifying suddenly emanated from the body of the small figure on his back.

That thing cannot be seen or touched, but it has a real impact on him.

It gave him the chills.

It made him tremble with fear.

Chu Xuan slowly floated up.

The spiritual consciousness roared like a storm.

Soul-destroying gale!

Wherever it passed, mushrooms of all sizes emitted shrill screams.

They were just showing their fangs and claws like the tentacles of the devil, but now they drooped down quickly.

There is not a single scratch on their surface.

But it was as if all vitality had suddenly been lost.

Because the souls inside them were instantly killed by Chu Xuan's spiritual consciousness!

This sudden scene shocked Tianlong.

The first time he met Chu Xuan, he didn't feel any strong energy from this supreme god.

He only respected Chu Xuan because Chu Xuan could help suppress the plague in his body.

But now he understood.

The God clearly came prepared!

And the power he possesses is no weaker than his!

Henry Chu shouted, pointing to an inconspicuous blue mushroom, "Found it!"

Upon seeing this, Tianlong immediately spewed out lightning from his mouth.

There was a loud bang.

A huge wailing sound came from inside the blue mushroom.

There were countless cracks on the surface, and pus and blood were flowing out.

It was also at this moment that it immediately began to frantically drain the vitality of other mushrooms.

The remaining mushrooms soon died in large numbers.

Chu Xuan once again unleashed the Soul-Destroying Wind, continuously attacking the weak soul of Mother Earth.

Compared to the majestic body of Mother Earth, her weak soul is an obvious weakness.

When Chu Xuan found the real body of the Earth Mother and started a full-scale attack with the Soul-Destroying Gale, the battle was destined to be a foregone conclusion.

A moment later, Mother Earth let out a desperate wail and collapsed completely.

The rest of the mushrooms were also dead, each one was shriveled and skinny, without any moisture.

Chu Xuan released the Netherworld Fire.

The black and red flames fell into the mushrooms and quickly exploded, forming a huge fire that shot up into the sky.

A faint wailing sound could be heard from the flames.

It was those spores that took the opportunity to escape.

Seeing this scene, Tianlong became more and more in awe of Chu Xuan.

The four gods before did not have the ability to use fire at will.

But this supreme god does.

Amidst the black and red flames, there is a bit of azure blue that is particularly eye-catching.

Chu Xuan grabbed it from a distance and held it in his hand.

As he expected, it was the psychic cube.

But it was not the psychic hexahedron he had obtained before.

But it is a psychic octahedron.

"What is this?" Tianlong curiously leaned his big head over.

Henry Chu said calmly, "The Psychic Octahedron is the root cause of the continuous proliferation of Mother Earth's mushrooms."

"Maybe it also brought the Funeral Plague."

When Tianlong heard the word "funeral plague", he retreated dozens of steps.

An expression of fear.

Obviously, he was particularly afraid of the plague.

I don't want to get any more sickness.

Henry Chu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's in my hands and can no longer spread the plague."

Tianlong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, everything should be over, right?"

Henry Chu shook his head, "It's not over yet."

"Mother Earth has been infected with the plague for too long, and she has too many descendants. The plague has long since spread throughout the planet."

"There's still a lot to do to restore this planet to its former self."

Tianlong suddenly fell silent.

"Let's go."

Chu Xuan sighed lightly, feeling quite regretful.

The Earth Mother's vast energy and blood were divided into a large number of mushrooms, and there was no complete body.

In order to prevent Mother Earth from turning into countless spores and escaping, he had to burn all the mushrooms and spores with the Netherworld Fire.

This is the biggest loss for him.

But it's not a bad thing.

The Earth Mother had been eliminated, and the Psychic Octahedron also fell into his hands.

There won't be any major threats in the short term.

He also established a friendly relationship with Tianlong.

Life on Giant Star will obviously be more stable in the future.

The plague on Giant Star has not completely disappeared, which is a good thing from another perspective.

This means that he still has an endless supply of merit to gain.

Right now he needs to observe this psychic octahedron carefully.

He was eager to know whether this psychic octahedron had any special features.

But he was about to leave.

Suddenly, auspicious clouds rose from all directions, and the sky was filled with brilliant rays of light.

The golden light of merit appeared out of nothing and completely sank into Chu Xuan's body.

At this moment, Chu Xuan almost became a human-shaped beam of light, becoming the sun on the ground.

Tianlong's eyes widened at this scene, and he was extremely shocked.

"God...you are worthy of being God..." he murmured.

He was also shocked by Henry Chu's previous actions, but not to such an extent that he lost his composure.

Now, this endless golden light of merit shocked him.

He didn't know what this light was.

But he could feel that the figure of the God wrapped in these lights was particularly tall and majestic at this moment.

He even had a feeling that if he dared to attack God, he would suffer a huge backlash.

This was a thought that arose from the depths of his heart, and he didn't know where it came from.

After a while, the golden light of merit finally flowed into Chu Xuan's body.

The auspicious clouds and colorful rays of light in the sky gradually disappeared.

Chu Xuan let out a breath and felt very happy.

Tianlong asked cautiously, "God, what was that golden light just now..."

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Killing the evil demon is a gift from heaven and earth."

Tianlong was stunned, thinking about something.

Henry Chu said casually, "I will come to see you again in five years with spiritual medicine. Take good care of your injuries during this time."

Tianlong nodded, "Thank you, God."

He watched Chu Xuan go away with an extremely respectful look in his eyes.

Although he could feel that the energy and blood of this supreme god were far inferior to his, the various methods used by the supreme god had completely shocked it.

…

Extremely dark cave.

Henry Chu couldn't help but shake his head, "I didn't expect that after killing the Earth Mother, I would gain so much merit."

Generally speaking, merit will only flow into his body quietly.

Unless the golden wheel of merit is perfected and elevated to the next level, it will trigger strange phenomena that are powerful enough to cause changes in the weather.

This killing of the Earth Mother added a huge amount of merit, obviously because after the Earth Mother was infected with the plague, she killed too many people and committed too many evil deeds.

He played a crucial role in this battle, so naturally he gained the most merit.

The merits gained in an instant were too great, which led to the strange phenomenon.

Tianlong should have also gained some merit.

But not nearly as much as him.

Chu Xuan looked inward and discovered that the Golden Wheel of Merit had advanced further.

There is only about a quarter left before it can be completely completed and enter the realm of the sixth level of the Golden Wheel of Merit.

"The road to merit is long and arduous, so let's first look at the Psychic Octahedron."

Chu Xuan kept weighing the psychic octahedron in his hand, observing it over and over again.

"This psychic octahedron doesn't seem like the one in Yifeng's hand. I can use it directly..."

"But I always feel like there's something sinister hidden inside."

To be on the safe side, he took out a piece of ordinary flesh and blood of a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage and stuffed the psychic octahedron into it.

After a moment, the monster's flesh and blood began to multiply wildly.

But after reaching the limit, it did not stop, but continued to proliferate.

Sarcomas, blood vessels, muscles, connective tissues gradually grew on its surface...

In the end, it even began to grow eyes and a mouth...

In the blink of an eye, it turned from a square piece of meat into a fat and bloated monster.

It roared ferociously, looked at Chu Xuan viciously with its one eye, and suddenly pounced on him.

Even Chu Xuan felt uncomfortable with such a scene.

He waved his hand casually, and the Blood Demon's big handprint slammed down, smashing the monster into meat paste on the spot, and then dug out the psychic octahedron.

Henry Chu looked at the pile of meat paste and analyzed it carefully.

Although he had been beaten to pieces by the Blood Demon's handprint, he was still able to identify the various organs at a glance.

Under the proliferation of this psychic octahedron, it took only a dozen minutes for this piece of flesh and blood to grow organs, four hands and four legs.

As for the eyes, mouth, ears, fur, scales... they are all exactly the same.

The monster that was regenerated was very different from the appearance of this piece of monster flesh and blood when it was alive.

However, Chu Xuan could still see that this monster absorbed the characteristics of the demon beast, retained its strengths, and optimized its weaknesses.

If it didn't look so evil, it would be quite harmless.

"My feeling was right."

"This psychic octahedron harbors evil intentions and has long harbored a foul aura."

"Mother Earth originally obtained the Psychic Octahedron and treasured it. However, it was contaminated by filth and became the source of the plague on Giant Star."

Henry Chu shook his head repeatedly.

He finally understood now.

Why did the ancient order spread psychic cubes all over the world with good intentions, but it caused disasters one after another?

It is very likely that the psychic cubes were tampered with by the Chaos Gods during their distribution.

Stuff the foul smell into it.

In this way, the Ancient Order's spreading of psychic cubes actually helps the Filth spread their faith and create believers.

Next, Chu Xuan tried various methods to get rid of the foul smell, but he was unsuccessful.

Obviously, the level of filth was far above his.

So he couldn't solve it even if it was just a trace of breath.

"Then what good are you?"

Chu Xuan paced back and forth around the psychic octahedron, deep in thought.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Since the foul smell cannot be removed, then don't remove it.

Instead, they can use the foul aura to produce Chaos Demons on an assembly line.

Just now when he killed the monster, he found that although the monster was born not long ago, he could still gain merit by killing it.

This means that these monsters are born with bad karma.

Killing it will benefit the people.

The more you kill, the more benefits you will gain!

"Planet Aquamarine is my home base, and it's also the origin of the Yanhan Dynasty. From now on, I'll prioritize stability."

"Giant Star... there's Tianlong there. If he finds out I'm mass-producing Chaos Demons, even if he's a bit of a fool, it's going to be hard to fool him."

After much deliberation, Chu Xuan chose Soul Star.

Soul Star is vast and sparsely populated, and is completely under his control.

It is just right to enclose a piece of land for mass production of Chaos Demons.

…

Soul Star.

Chu Xuan chose a piece of desert, circled it with a formation, and completely isolated it from the outside world.

Afterwards, he ordered Erbi to lead a group of great ghost kings to station here.

In this way, safe work is guaranteed.

Only then did he enter the formation and begin his experiments.

With a rigorous scientific research attitude, he selected one kind of flesh and blood of monsters from the Jindan stage, Yuanying stage, and Huashen stage, and also took out a piece of flesh and blood of a giant insect.

Each piece of flesh and blood weighs exactly one kilogram, no more, no less.

Then four time levels were drawn up: one hour, ten hours, one hundred hours, and one thousand hours.

Through multiple controlled experiments, observe the natural growth rate of Chaos Demon.

After killing hundreds of Chaos Demons in a row, he finally came to a conclusion.

The Chaos Demon's strength is indeed related to the growth of flesh and blood.

The stronger the flesh and blood, the greater the Chaos Demon's power.

The Chaos Demon, bred from the flesh and blood of a Jindan-stage demon beast, possessed the strength of a Jindan-stage demon beast as soon as it was born.

So Chu Xuan simply took back the giant insect flesh and blood.

Who knows what level of monsters will be bred.

It is commendable to maintain a rigorous research attitude, but you should not let the experimental subjects hurt yourself.

Otherwise, he would be no different from those evil but stupid mad scientists in the movies.

In addition, he also discovered that the power of the Chaos Demon would continue to grow over time, but there was an upper limit.

After about ninety hours, the Chaos Demon will reach its upper limit and will no longer grow.

Sending them to the west at this time will bring the greatest merit.

Chu Xuan estimated that if the Chaos Demon wanted to continue to grow stronger after ninety hours, it would need to slaughter living beings.

Of course not.

He kept these Chaos Demons captive to gain merit, not to reduce it.

Chu Xuan concluded, "In other words, the optimal solution is to use a Divine Transformation Stage demon beast as the nurturing flesh and blood to cultivate the Chaos Demon, and then slaughter it directly after ninety hours."

He smacked his lips and said, "It feels like raising pigs."

After much thought, he set out to improve the formation again.

This time he added two major functions to the formation: timing and orientation.

The regular schedule is ninety hours.

Targeting is to target those Chaos Demons that are fully mature, while ignoring those that are not yet mature.

It's like a fishing net with larger holes, which filters out small fish and only catches big fish.

In this way, the merit can be maximized under the premise of sustainable development.

Make sure there are demons to slay and merits to be gained.

"Let's get started."

Henry Chu snapped his fingers, and the formation began to operate on its own.

One after another, bloated and filthy Chaos Demons were born, and they instinctively wanted to attack and devour.

However, there was only endless fog within the formation, and no living creature could be detected.

They can only roar and scream aimlessly and wander around.

After reaching ninety hours, it was cut into countless pieces by the sword energy that came from nowhere.

Merits appeared out of nothing and continued to sink into Chu Xuan's body.

Seeing that the fully automatic merit machine version 2.0 had started to run at full speed, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

This feeling is really comfortable.

"It's still good deeds that nourish people..."

"I wonder how Zhuo Gu would react if he knew about this."

Henry Chu chuckled, turned around and left.

The fully automatic merit machine 2.0 is still faithfully performing its duties.

…

Big Galaxy.

An unknown and invisible place.

Here stands a forest.

At first glance, it is a riot of colour and quite beautiful.

A closer look reveals that this forest is made up of piles of dirty corpses, white bones, and smelly sewage.

Full of the smell of filth and decadence.

In the center of the forest was a large, rotten and smelly bed.

This is a breeding ground for filth.

A huge, bloated and fat figure sat on the hotbed.

The foulest words in the world cannot describe His filthiness.

He is above filth.

He is the king of this "foul forest" and He is the foulness.

At this moment, Zhuo Gu's turbid giant eyes suddenly opened and looked beyond the Milky Way.

His huge mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly opened, and a hoarse, unpleasant, and incomprehensible sound came out of his mouth.

Ordinary people would turn into pus and rotting flesh even if they just heard such a sound.

As soon as this voice fell, many powerful demons suddenly emerged from the turbid forest.

They received orders from the gods and suddenly rushed out of the forest and headed towards the outside of the Milky Way.

The roars and screams from their mouths merged into one sound.

"Find...find him!"

"That's great. It feels great to have your merits increasing so quickly."

Chu Xuan was very happy.

Five years have passed since the release of the fully automatic merit machine version 2.0.

During these five years, he practiced in the Jiyin Cave on the Giant Star.

During this period, he also refined some pills and sent them to Tianlong.

Every day for five years, he could feel the merits flowing into his body at every moment.

His understanding, his lifespan, his affinity with spiritual energy, etc., are all improving imperceptibly.

The Six-Layered Golden Wheel of Merit is no longer a distant prospect, but is just around the corner.

Chu Xuan was in a good mood, so he took a step forward and returned to the Yulong Star in the world of immortal cultivation.

It just so happens that I haven't paid attention to the situation of the Dayulong Sect for a long time.

As an out-of-body ancestor, I should also care about the disciples of the Dayulong Sect.

…

In Lingzhu Mountain.

Chu Xuan sat in the small pavilion beside the pond.

On the stone table in the pavilion stood a pot of steaming spiritual tea and four upside-down teacups.

The rich aroma of tea fills the pavilion.

There was an open box of snacks next to the spiritual tea.

The dim sum is snow-white in color, but has a dragon pattern with bared fangs and claws on the surface.

Henry Chu picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite, then shook his head slightly, "This Dragon Pattern Snow is still a little undercooked after all."

He had eaten the dragon-patterned snow made by Zhang Jing and his wife on Qingyue Star.

I brought back a few packets and finished them long ago.

Now that he has arrived at the Dayulong Sect, he orders the spiritual chef to remake the dragon pattern snow.

What appeared before him was the dragon-patterned snow that had been improved eighteen times.

But the taste is still not the same as before.

Too sweet, too greasy.

It doesn't have the refreshing feeling of the dragon-patterned snow made by Zhang Jing and his wife.

Ling Xueying was waiting respectfully beside him at this moment. Upon hearing this, she asked respectfully, "Has the ancestor ever tasted this dragon-patterned snow from someone else before?"

"In that case, I will order that person to be brought here so that I can prepare the original dragon-patterned snow for you."

Henry Chu chuckled and shook his head, "No, don't disturb them."

"There are no two identical people in the world, and no two snacks are the same."

"The people of those days are gone with the wind, and that flavor is no longer there."

He sighed inwardly.

Zhang Jing is only at the Golden Elixir stage, and his wife Zheng Yi's realm is even lower.

Now that times have changed, I'm afraid things and people are no longer the same.

Even if his children inherited the skill of cooking dim sum, the dim sum they made would not taste the same.

"Tell me, how has the sect been doing during these years of seclusion?" Chu Xuan took a sip of Bitter Maofeng tea and said casually.

Ling Xueying said respectfully, "Thanks to the blessing of our ancestor, no dark fog disaster has occurred in the territory of our Great Imperial Dragon Sect in recent years."

"However, there are still sporadic disasters caused by the Nether Mist in other sects' territories, but the frequency is much less than before."

"And there's something particularly strange: often when the rescue monks arrive, the local Nether Mist Disaster has disappeared for no apparent reason."

Henry Chu just chuckled.

It seems that Luo Zu is still eating everywhere.

In this way, Luo Zu had accumulated countless merits.

but...

Since Luo Zu is the reincarnation of the Fallen Ancestor, he must have been carrying extremely evil karma since his birth.

These small merits probably don't count for much.

"Let's not talk about the disaster, how is the cultivation within the sect?" Chu Xuan asked again.

Ling Xueying said respectfully, "Thanks to the new sect rules established by all the Divine Transformation Elders through collective wisdom, the sect is now thriving. Every disciple is either improving their strength or on their way to improving their strength."

"Many disciples don't just focus on cultivation all day long. After years of survival of the fittest, they've long understood that only by developing all aspects can they become stronger."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "That's right, but I have something to say. Although the Gu Dao is the foundation of the Great Imperial Dragon Sect, we can also explore the Corpse Dao and Ghost Dao."

Ling Xueying was stunned. "But our sect lacks the inheritance of the Corpse Dao and Ghost Dao techniques, and we don't have the corresponding Yin Land..."

Henry Chu said calmly, "If you don't have a technique, go find one. If you don't have a yin place, go create one."

"Some say quality is more important than quantity, but the path to immortality is never smooth sailing. It's often a case of you killing me and I killing you. If everyone in the Great Imperial Dragon Sect only knew how to use Gu Dao, then if they encountered someone who could suppress it, wouldn't they be unbeatable?"

Ling Xueying was startled, then immediately nodded in understanding, "That's what the ancestor taught."

"After I return, I will discuss with the elders and start building the Corpse Mountain and Ghost Tomb. I will then spend spirit stones to search for the secret techniques of the Corpse and Ghost Paths."

Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "Not bad."

Ling Xueying paused and continued, "Grandmaster, Xueying's realm has also improved. She is now at the eighth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Henry Chu nodded, "I knew about it when you first entered Lingzhu Mountain."

Ling Xueying nodded a little awkwardly.

Because she saw that Henry Chu didn't seem to have any major emotional changes from beginning to end.

He seemed to be unconcerned about the improvement of her realm.

"By the way, Ancestor, Xueying has one more thing to ask."

"Xueying found what you ordered to be collected!"

Henry Chu stopped drinking tea, "Oh? Really?"

Seeing Henry Chu's reaction, Ling Xueying was immediately delighted.

She understood that Henry Chu's behavior meant that Skylark had not been found yet.

She's faster than a lark!

This time she got the upper hand! She got the credit!

Ling Xueying patted her Qiankun bag and presented a divine consciousness jade slip, "Ancestor, Xueying found a formation that has this effect."

"This formation is called the Great Spirit Control and God Forbidden Formation. It is an ancient formation created by a Heavenly Monarch of the Hedao Realm. It can forbid the distraction of the spirit, making it impossible to escape."

"However, this formation has flaws and consumes an extremely large number of spirit stones. That Hedao Tianjun died before he could perfect it."

Chu Xuan grabbed it from the air and held it in his hand, "It's okay, it can be used."

He was about to return to the cave on the mountainside when he saw Ling Xueying had not yet left. He asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

Ling Xueying hesitated to speak, but finally spoke, "It's just that I have some confusion about cultivation..."

Chu Xuan laughed dumbly, "I see. Tell me about it. If I knew, I would be able to help you solve the problem."

Ling Xueying raised many questions about Gu Dao, and Chu Xuan answered them one by one.

After saying this, Ling Xueying left respectfully.

After leaving Lingzhu Mountain, she looked back at the mist and thought to herself, "This time, I completed the task assigned by the ancestor first, and then deliberately stayed by his side to ask for answers. This should make the ancestor remember me more, right?"

"The position of the sect leader must be mine. I can't let Yun Que snatch it away."

Her eyes were particularly determined.

"I wonder what Ling Xueying is thinking..."

Chu Xuan muttered to himself that the questions about Gu Dao that Ling Xueying had just asked were quite simple.

He can solve them easily.

But Ling Xueying did not ask the question deliberately.

He really couldn't understand what this woman was thinking.

"She's just a mere Spiritual Transformation cultivator. I'm the only one in the Great Imperial Dragon Sect who has achieved a Spiritual Transformation. Even if she harbors evil intentions, she won't be able to cause any major disturbances."

"For now, let's try this Great Spirit Control and God Forbidden Formation to see if it can intercept the soul of the great demon."

Chu Xuan was quite delighted as if he had obtained a new toy. He turned around and returned to the Jiyin Cave on the Giant Star to comprehend the formation diagram in the spiritual jade slip.

Friendly reminder: The website is about to be redesigned, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "Bookshelf" and "Reading History" in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for the inconvenience!

After a long time, Chu Xuan raised his head and rubbed his temples.

"It's just as Ling Xueying described. This formation consumes a huge amount of spirit stones, far exceeding the Out-of-Body Stage formations of the same level."

"No wonder so many people think this formation is a bit useless."

"However, I can see two flaws at a glance that can be slightly improved."

"After the improvement, the spirit stone consumption should be reduced by about 20%."

"No matter how low the price goes, I'm still quite wealthy. As long as I can capture the souls of those Chaos Demons, I'll have achieved my goal."

Chu Xuan calmed down and devoted himself to improvement.

Not long after, the new version of the formation diagram of the Great Spirit Control and God Forbidden Formation was successfully produced.

Another ten years later, the formation flags and formation plates were also refined.

At this time, Chu Xuan took a big step and came to the Soul Star.

The fully automatic merit machine 2.0 is still running at full power.

When Erbi saw his master approaching, he immediately came over to report the guard situation.

Chu Xuan listened carefully and nodded in understanding.

As he expected, under his tight defense, there has never been a single jailbreak at the Merit Machine.

All Chaos Demons are willing to contribute selflessly to his great cause.

Chu Xuan strode into the formation and killed a Chaos Demon with a slap.

As expected, just like before, the Chaos Demon's soul suddenly disappeared, apparently returning to the hotbed of filth.

Chu Xuan immediately arranged the formation flags and superimposed them on the original formation.

The light shield of the Great Spirit Control and God Forbidden Array enveloped them, like a giant upside-down bowl.

Chu Xuan casually killed another Chaos Demon.

This time, the Chaos Demon's soul did not disappear suddenly, but remained in the same place.

However, even its soul is filled with malice and filth.

Crazy attack on everything around.

Chu Xuan waited for a long time.

Seeing that the Chaos Demon Soul had not disappeared, he nodded in satisfaction.

It worked!

This great formation to control spirits and restrain gods is really effective.

"These souls are exceptionally strong, just enough for the Second and Fourth Arms to feed and grow."

Henry Chu smiled.

He suddenly remembered another thing.

"One or two Chaos Demon souls don't matter. After a while, the Turbidity will probably react, right?"

"It's like I stole His power."

He couldn't help but chuckle.

I really want to know how the Chaos God would react if he found out about this.

…

Aquamarine Star.

Henry Chu came to the bedside, looked at the dying Yifeng, and sighed softly.

Yifeng is now gray-haired.

The pair of wings behind him were so weak that they couldn't even flap.

His skin was also loose and had many gray-brown age spots.

This is a sign of entering old age.

Once upon a time, Yifeng could still fly freely over the blue star, causing the blue star people to marvel at it.

"Xuan...you're here..."

Yifeng coughed lightly and tried his best to open his cloudy old eyes. "Xuan... after so many years... you are still so young."

Henry Chu sighed, "Yifeng, if you have any wish, I will help you fulfill it."

Most of his knowledge about the universe came from Yifeng after he arrived at the Aquamarine Planet.

And Yifeng's character is also very good.

After realizing that they could not leave Planet Aquamarine, they decided to stay here and set up a branch of the ancient order.

He also taught all the psychic skills he knew to the Aquamarine people without reservation.

Such a person's life is about to end, and Chu Xuan, as the host, should come to see him off.

Yifeng forced a smile, "Xuan... I asked you that question when I first came to Planet Aquamarine."

"Do you have an answer now?"

Chu Xuan thought for a long time before saying, "If the ancient order is full of people like you, I will join."

It is always better to be with a group of people who have firm beliefs and are committed to their goals than to be among a group of people who are despicable, cunning and treacherous.

Yifeng smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you."

"Xuan... My coat of arms contains my proof... From now on, you will be a member of the ancient order..."

"If there's a chance... could I deliver the item to that person..."

"Xuan... you are very powerful... with you joining, the ancient order will surely achieve its highest ideals..."

He said his last words before taking his last breath.

There was still a smile on his face.

Chu Xuan sighed lightly, put away the psychic octahedron and its identity emblem, and ordered Heifeng's men to bury Yifeng.

Yifeng was the first person from the ancient order to arrive on Planet Aquamarine.

But he certainly won't be the last.

…

After reading the message that Yifeng left in the emblem, Chu Xuan was silent.

Yifeng left two things in the emblem.

The first was a certificate proving that Chu Xuan had joined the ancient order under his witness.

The second was a crude star map and a set of coordinates. Yifeng's original mission was to deliver this unique psychic octahedron to a single individual, but he was pursued by the Great Demon of Turbidity and was unable to complete it.

He left the coordinates to Chu Xuan, hoping that Chu Xuan could go and take a look.

If there was no one waiting at that coordinate, then he would have no regrets.

Chu Xuan carefully observed this simple star map.

It was drawn by Yifeng and others after they flew out of the Milky Way.

There is not much content, only records the planets along the way.

But Chu Xuan still spotted the familiar starry sky at a glance.

He thought thoughtfully, "This is very similar to the starry sky I saw on Soul Star. It should be not far from Soul Star."

He took one step and arrived at Soul Star.

Then he steered the ship and flew out of the atmosphere of Soul Star.

"This seems to be the first time I've left a planet directly, not through the Heavenly Mirror, but relying on my own strength."

Thinking of this, Henry Chu couldn't help but chuckle.

There were too many trivial matters before, and he was almost running around between the world of immortal cultivation and the various planets in this universe.

I never thought about flying out of a planet.

"I remember there are several planets near Soul Star, including Pegasus Star..."

Chu Xuan flew out of the Soul Star and could see a white planet with the naked eye, so he flew in that direction.

After a while, he arrived at the white planet.

He scanned with his spiritual sense and frowned deeply.

He remembered that Mananshan was from Tianma Star.

According to Yifeng, after the Yanhan Dynasty reached its peak, many Yan people moved to other planets as part of the great development and became local people.

The ancestor of Mananshan might be such a person.

Logically speaking, Tianma Star should have a huge force built by the human race.

At the very least, there should be many national forces.

But now, all there are on Tianma Star are hordes of roaring and screaming zombies.

Not a single survivor was in sight.

This planet has been completely occupied by zombies.

It's like Aquamarine taken to the other extreme.

Henry Chu shook his head slightly and was about to leave when a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind.

Chu Xuan activated the Blood Demon Pot, and a blood cloud surged out, covering half of Tianma Star in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, there are not many survivors left on Tianma Star, and zombies are almost everywhere.

In that case, why not just refine these zombies?

It can not only strengthen the blood cloud, but also gain merit.

A definite win-win!

Chu Xuan swept his spiritual sense and immediately discovered that wherever the blood cloud passed, the zombies melted like snowmen under the scorching sun.

Often they couldn't even roar, and were instantly transformed into blood and merged into the blood cloud.

Even those zombie kings with huge bodies and powerful abilities can only hold on for a few more seconds.

In the face of absolute power suppression, all resistance is futile.

As the blood cloud devoured more and more zombies, the area covered by the blood cloud became larger and larger.

At the beginning, it only covered a small half of Tianma Star.

A few days later, it directly covered the entire Tianma Star.

A few days later, all the zombies on Tianma Star were wiped out.

Only then did Chu Xuan retract the blood cloud.

At this time, the continuously influx of merits condensed into magnificent golden light, almost making him look like the sun.

This strange phenomenon lasted for a long time before slowly disappearing.

He looked inward at the Golden Wheel of Merit again and suddenly realized that he was one step closer to the sixth level of merit.

It is normal to gain such a huge amount of merit at one time.

To the Pegasus people, zombies are a cancer and a disaster.

He completely eliminated the zombies, which was a great achievement.

"I wonder if there are zombies on the surrounding planets?"

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and immediately flew towards a nearby planet.

After he left, on Tianma Star.

Some remaining survivors walked out from underground cautiously.

Every once in a while they have to risk their lives to collect food.

But this time, they did not see any wandering zombies, nor did they hear the terrifying roars.

They only had time to see the red clouds converge and disappear.

Some people immediately knelt down on their knees and worshiped him.

"I just came out to look for food and was almost killed by zombies. I saw Hongyun kill the zombies with my own eyes! Hongyun saved us!"

"Hongyun is a god! He is a god!"

After the zombies completely disappeared, the Tianma people came out of underground and resumed their reproduction.

An organization called the Red Cloud Church also took root and grew vigorously on Tianma Star as these survivors spread the news...

…

After devouring the zombies on three planets with blood clouds in succession, Chu Xuan shook his head slightly.

That's all.

Of the planets around here, only those three have life.

The environments on the other planets are harsh, either extremely cold, extremely hot, or gaseous planets, which are completely unsuitable for life reproduction, so there are no zombies.

"I almost forgot the purpose of my voyage."

Henry Chu shook his head and continued on his way.

This time, he wanted to match the starry sky in his impression with the star map given by Yifeng.

Devouring zombies with blood clouds is just a side job.

Don't confuse the primary and the secondary.

Moreover, he was always wary of the powerful enemy from outside the domain that Yifeng mentioned.

The place where he is is outside the Milky Way.

If his actions caused too much noise and attracted the attention of powerful enemies from outside the domain, he would be in big trouble.

Chu Xuan steered the ship and sailed through the starry sky.

Soon, it came to rest in a familiar starry sky.

He took out the star map and compared it with the map, then nodded immediately, "This is it!"

Using this as one of the reference points, combined with the simple star map provided by Yifeng, and based on the spherical coordinate system inside the Milky Way, he reconstructed a complete star map in his mind.

This new star map includes the edge of the Milky Way, Aquamarine Star, Soul Star, Pegasus Star, and Giant Star.

Henry Chu closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened them again, there was a hint of profound wisdom in his eyes.

"Aquamarine, Soul, and Pegasus are not far from each other, and are even closer to the Milky Way."

"In comparison, the giant stars are farther away."

"As for the giant insect, I still can't give its specific location."

"And the coordinates Yifeng provided me are... right here."

Chu Xuan looked at a planet near the Giant Star, thoughtfully.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to go and take a look.

…

On a desolate planet.

Chu Xuan's spiritual sense spread out, but he found no signs of any living creature.

This planet has no atmosphere and no ice at the poles, so the conditions for the birth of life do not exist.

However, he found a crashed spaceship.

There were several dead Chaos Demons around.

As for the crew of the spacecraft, they all died.

Even the unique psychic octahedron disappeared.

Henry Chu shook his head.

It is very likely that this team was tracked by Chaos Demons and came all the way to this desolate planet.

The Psychic Octahedron was taken away and the team members were killed.

As for the ancient one of the ancient order, his whereabouts are unknown.

"Yifeng, I have fulfilled your last wish. Rest in peace."

Chu Xuan left without looking back.

…

Lingzhu Mountain.

Yu Que stood respectfully beside Chu Xuan and told him the information he had obtained through various channels.

"Master seems particularly happy today?" Skylark couldn't help but ask.

Henry Chu laughed, "I remembered something happy."

Just today, Sibi and Xiaohu both reached a higher level.

The four arms refined the fetus of the Ghost Lord and were promoted to the Ghost Emperor naturally.

Xiaohu refined the filthy flesh and blood and also entered the realm of Corpse King.

In this way, he now has two more people with the power of out-of-body combat.

In addition to the Six-turn Gu Tianku, the Six-turn Gu Chenguang, and his own fifty-sixth level of body refining realm.

When facing most mid-stage out-of-body cultivators, it is a crushing victory without a doubt.

When facing a cultivator in the late stage of out-of-body state, he may not be able to defeat him, but he can still advance and retreat freely.

Skylark nodded, and suddenly said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's, "Master, I couldn't find what you needed. Please punish me."

Henry Chu smiled, "You mean intercepting the soul?"

Hibari nodded, his face full of guilt.

Henry Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Ling Xueying found it. It's a formation."

Skylark was stunned and lowered his head, "Skylark is useless..."

"It's okay, I don't blame you," Henry Chu said casually, "By the way, has Shen Anyu sent anything recently?"

Yun Que nodded, "Yes, Li Yin escorted him personally."

"He originally wanted to visit you, but you were in seclusion, so he left the Qiankun bag and went back."

"I also gave him an empty Qiankun bag."

As she spoke, she presented the Qiankun bag that Li Yin had brought.

Chu Xuan took it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and nodded with satisfaction.

There are a lot of large spirit stones here, and the rest are natural treasures and materials from monsters.

Many of them were even peeled off from ancient alien species.

It was obvious that Li Yin and the Gong family had put a lot of effort into collecting them.

It also proves that the Dark Domain is indeed a rare treasure land.

Yun Que continued, "Oh, right, he also brought a message saying that Gong Yue'e from the Gong family has successfully achieved Divine Transformation, and that she has even reached the second level of Divine Transformation in one go. She's quite impressive."

Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "Not bad."

When Chu Xuan left the Dark Realm, moved by the Gong family's daily respectfulness, he gave Gong Yue'e a special elixir that could help her repair her soul and achieve the state of spiritual transformation.

With his attainments in alchemy and the recipes he collected every day, this was just a piece of cake.

Of course, the price of that elixir is that you will never be able to enter the state of leaving the body.

With Gong Yue'e's qualifications and character, he had long expected her to enter the state of spiritual transformation.

The news brought by Skylark at this time did not surprise him.

Chu Xuan asked casually, "How is your practice of the Dark Mist Method going? Show it to me."

Yu Que bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master, I have already reached the third level."

She took a deep breath, and her body turned into black mist and suddenly dispersed, wandering in all directions.

Chu Xuan swept his spiritual sense around, but couldn't find which mist was the real skylark.

In the blink of an eye, the fog gathered again on the other side. After the fog dissipated, Yun Que appeared in front of Chu Xuan leisurely.

She said happily, "Master, this is the secret technique of Nether Mist Disintegration, which is learned by practicing the Nether Mist Method and reaching the third level."

"However, this secret technique consumes a lot of Nether Mist. I need to accumulate it for at least three days before I can perform it once."

"It can only be used to save lives."

Henry Chu nodded slightly, "Even if it's just to save your life, it's already pretty good. It's hard for anyone to discover your true identity."

Then Yunque performed the two secret techniques learned from the first and second levels of the Nether Mist Technique.

Both secret techniques are extremely powerful attack techniques, and they consume not spiritual power but dark mist.

Moreover, excessive use in a short period of time will accelerate the erosion of mental ability.

It can be said that if it were not for the Great Dust-Clearing Pill bestowed by Chu Xuan, Yun Que would not have been able to practice the Dark Mist Method in this way.

Chu Xuan clapped his hands lightly and praised, "Very good, your strength is definitely among the best among the Divine Transformation cultivators."

"In the past, you would definitely be ranked in the top five on the God Transformation Ranking."

Skylark's cheeks flushed slightly, and she bowed, "Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

"If you have nothing to do, go down. I also need to practice." Chu Xuan smiled and waved his hand.

He also planned to practice the Dark Mist Technique well.

The other secret techniques don't matter, the only thing you need to learn is this move of disintegrating the dark fog.

Yun Que nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something else, "Oh, Master, there are mysterious people trying to gather up the remaining members of the Other Shore."

"I gathered these people, and some of them were also gathered over."

"I guess they are another fallen sect."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

The only organization composed entirely of fallen cultivators that he had come into contact with was the People of the Other Shore.

However, the world of immortal cultivation is so big.

The Hun Tian star region alone encompasses hundreds of star fields.

This does not include the star regions controlled by other ninth-level sects.

There are more and more fallen cultivator organizations that are secretly growing.

But the appearance of this fallen cultivator organization at a time when the Nether Mist Disaster was raging was already unusual.

What's more, they have extended their hands to me.

That should arouse even more vigilance.

Henry Chu nodded slightly, "Don't alert the enemy, just keep an eye on them."

Yunque nodded, "I understand."

She saluted and turned to leave.

…

Jiuyou Star, Tianxiangfang.

This market was built with the support of Jiuyou Palace, so it is very large and there is a constant stream of monks coming and going.

In the center of the market stands a restaurant called "Liuxianlou".

Liuxianlou can be described as the den of money-losing in Tianxiangfang.

Many female cultivators who are good-looking but short of money would come here to solicit customers.

Of course, the most attractive thing about Liuxianlou is not the slim and plump people, but the spiritual food.

There is an elderly monk in this building who is proficient in cooking and is especially good at cooking monster meat.

Many monks come to Tianxiangfang, often not to trade materials, but to taste the spiritual food.

At this moment, in the private room on the top floor of Tianxiang Tower.

Dan Jieli supported his cheek with his left hand and tapped the bowl with chopsticks in his right hand out of boredom.

"Why hasn't Second Brother come yet? He's already two hours late."

She pouted, looking dissatisfied.

Just when she was getting a little impatient.

A figure appeared out of thin air on the chair in front of her and said with a smile, "Junior sister, long time no see."

Dan Jieli looked at the man in yellow before him and gritted his teeth, "You're finally here!"

The person in front of her was the out-of-body disciple of Wanxing Immortal Palace, her second senior brother An Ling Xunzhen.

An Lingxunzhen was wearing a light yellow Taoist robe and a green belt with a small pure white tower hanging on the belt.

The small tower exudes an aura of tranquility and concentration, and is clearly no ordinary object.

An Lingxunzhen laughed heartily, "Something unexpected happened on the way. I stumbled upon a precious collectible, which delayed us."

Dan Jieli's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached for the pure white pagoda on his waist, asking, "What collection? Let me see!"

An Lingxunzhen covered the small tower and appeared at the door of the private room in a flash, avoiding Dan Jieli's empty-handed move.

He smiled and said, "You can't look at this thing. If you do, it will lose its value as a collection."

"Unless you can afford the price."

Upon hearing this, Dan Jie Li became even more curious, "What's the price?"

An Lingxunzhen smiled and said, "Give me the broken stele you collected."

Dan Jieli immediately shook his head like a rattle, "That was a broken stele that flowed out of Xuling Mountain. It contained the power of many Tianzun-level masters."

"It's more valuable than all my collections. Don't even think about it."

An Lingxunzhen smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful.

"Hurry up and order the food. The spiritual food in this restaurant is delicious! You said you would treat us before we came, so don't lie to me." Dan Jie Li said hurriedly.

An Lingxunzhen smiled and said, "Okay, I won't lie to you."

While Dan Jieli was ordering food, he muttered to himself, "Second Brother is usually so stingy, how come he suddenly got the hang of it this time…"

Soon, plate after plate of spiritual food were brought into the private room.

The two of them ate with relish.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away all the remaining clouds.

A moment later, a waiter came up to pay the bill.

"You two, the total is 1,450 great spirit stones. Who wants to pay?"

An Lingxunzhen pointed at Dan Jieli who was sitting opposite him and said, "She'll pay the bill."

Dan Jie Li was confused, "Huh? Didn't you say you were treating?"

An Lingxunzhen smiled and said, "It's my treat, you pay the bill. Who says the one who treats has to pay the bill?"

Dan Jieli jumped up immediately, "What kind of logic is this!"

An Lingxunzhen's smile widened. "It's been so many years since you left the sect to carry out missions, and your realm hasn't improved at all. Do you want me to tell Master?"

Dan Jie Li immediately took out her small wallet and paid the bill. "...That does make sense."

An Lingxunzhen took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Where are the things?"

Dan Jieli pouted and took out a black bead from his Qiankun bag.

It was the basalt bead that imprisoned Ming Wuzi.

An Lingxun nodded in understanding, "Okay, with this, we can immediately find the location where the Dark Mist Mother is resurrected."

"Junior sister, you finally didn't disappoint Master this time."

Dan Jieli was originally unhappy, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"By the way, I got this Black Tortoise Pearl from Chu Xuan. If I want to get more Black Tortoise Pearls in the future, I will have to trouble him."

"Why don't we go meet him."

An Lingxunzhen pondered for a few breaths and nodded slightly, "That makes sense. Let's go now."

Lingzhu Mountain.

Chu Xuan reached out and grabbed the sound transmission note sent by Ling Xueying, raising his eyebrows.

Dan Jieli's senior brother is here.

But why did you come to him first?

A moment later, Chu Xuan met An Lingxunzhen and Dan Jieli in a small pavilion beside the pond.

The three of them sat opposite each other, while Ling Xueying stood beside them making tea.

Dan Jieli picked up the dragon-patterned snow and started eating, stuffing his cheeks full.

Chu Xuan and An Lingxunzhen were sizing each other up.

"This person is incredibly powerful. Even though he hasn't shown off his strength, he still gives me a thorn in the side."

"Especially the pure white little tower on the waist...it is definitely not an ordinary thing." Chu Xuan thought to himself.

An Lingxunzhen also thought to himself, "This Chu Xuan, who was recognized by the newborn spirit of the Black Tortoise Seal, is indeed not an easy person to deal with."

"This person must be hiding even more strength beneath the surface."

"Master is right. Even though we are ninth-level disciples, we must never be arrogant or complacent. There are always people who are better than us and there are higher things beyond our reach..."

The two looked at each other for a long time before they smiled at the same time, "Greetings, fellow Taoist."

"What are you two doing...this snack is so delicious..." Dan Jieli stuffed his cheeks like a little squirrel, quite puzzled as to why the two of them were just staring at each other without eating.

An Lingxunzhen didn't care about the way his junior sister was enjoying her meal. Instead, he looked at Chu Xuan and smiled, "I believe my junior sister has already told Fellow Daoist Chu about the Nether Mist Mother."

"My Wanxing Immortal Palace has very few disciples, and now there are only two of us who have come to the Xuanyin Star Region."

"It is very likely that the Dark Mist Mother will be resurrected, and various forces may intervene to disrupt the situation."

"I hope to cooperate with Fellow Daoist Chu."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Of course we can cooperate, but if the Dark Mist Disaster breaks out on a large scale, my Black Tortoise Pearl will be of great use."

"We can cooperate with any force."

"Why should I cooperate with you two?"

An Lingxunzhen was not angry.

He understood the situation of both sides very well.

Chu Xuan has gained the recognition of the new spirit of the Xuanwu Seal and can be sold at a high price.

They are the passive party.

An Lingxunzhen smiled and said, "I understand."

"So we came prepared."

"Ji Li, take out your collection."

Dan Jie Li looked up in disbelief. "Huh? I have to pay for this too?"

An Lingxunzhen said with a smile, "Your realm hasn't improved."

Dan Jieli directly spread out the coarse cloth, "...It's my responsibility to go out, Chu Xuan, you choose."

Chu Xuan burst out laughing.

He chose from them for a long time and finally picked out a set of ancient and complicated formation diagrams.

This formation diagram looks chaotic and confusing at first glance, but upon closer inspection it seems to contain endless mysteries.

Dan Jieli lamented, "This was left behind by a master of the Wuxiang Dragon Temple who possessed profound attainments in the art of formations."

"Although there is only one formation diagram, it is extremely complicated and intricate. It is said that it contains the formation inheritance of that great monk."

"But I can't see anything."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "I have some knowledge of formations, so I would like to give it a try."

An Lingxunzhen smiled, "If the Dark Mist erupts in the future, I hope Fellow Daoist Chu will remember our appointment today."

Henry Chu nodded, "I am not a man who goes back on his word."

An Lingxunzhen suddenly asked, "Could you please have a private conversation with me, Fellow Daoist Chu?"

Henry Chu, "Yes."

Dan Jie Li was puzzled, "What is it that you are hiding from me?"

The two of them flashed and appeared on the top of Lingzhu Mountain.

An Lingxunzhen said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Fellow Daoist Anling, please speak."

An Lingxunzhen smiled bitterly, "My junior sister has been loved by Master, Senior Brothers, and Senior Sisters since she was young. She doesn't have any scheming or cunning ideas."

"I'm worried that after the Dark Mist Mother is resurrected, there might be a disaster, and I won't be able to protect her."

"If that day ever comes, I hope Fellow Daoist Chu can take care of me."

Henry Chu couldn't help but frown.

The trading relationship between them is one of equality.

He wouldn't take care of Dan Jieli for no reason.

At this time, An Lingxunzhen took out a divine consciousness jade slip and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Chu should still be racking his brains over what clone to refine."

"Here is the method for refining a clone of my Wanxing Immortal Palace."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and accepted the divine consciousness jade slip, "Okay, if it is within my ability, I will help her a little."

After receiving Chu Xuan's promise, An Lingxun felt much more at ease. "Then we will say goodbye."

Even after they left Lingzhu Mountain, Dan Jieli kept asking An Lingxunzhen questions.

"What on earth did you talk about?"

"Tell me quickly! Did you secretly eat something delicious?"

"How can there be a senior brother like you? Not only is he stingy, he also likes to keep people in suspense!"

"Oh, I'm so angry! You're not good at all, not as good as Seventh Senior Sister to me!"

The two voices gradually faded away.

Chu Xuan looked at their backs, remained silent, and felt emotional.

"The friendship between fellow students is truly nostalgic..."

"It's a pity that all my fellow disciples have long since passed away."

He shook his head and threw all those chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

Now that disaster is approaching, it is better to improve your strength as soon as possible.

Those chaotic thoughts actually disturbed the purity of his six senses.

…

In the vast sea of ​​stars.

A burly figure crossed the starry sky and flew towards Jiuyou Star.

He is Dian Ziman of the Huntian War Sect.

At this moment, a figure in white suddenly appeared in front of him.

Dian Ziman threw a punch without saying a word, "Bai Ang, haven't you had enough?"

The man in white had anticipated this and dodged it easily by flying into the air.

"Don't worry, I won't fight you. I'm here to cooperate with you this time."

Noriko shook her head, "Why would we need to work together? I'm enough on my own."

Bai Ang smiled, "I know where the eighth clone of the Fallen Ancestor will go."

Noriko's eyes lit up, "Really?"

But he quickly shook his head and said, "You lied to me. If you really knew, why didn't you go with Lord Douzhan to capture the eighth clone of the Fallen Ancestor? Why did you cooperate with me?"

Bai Ang sighed softly, "Miexian led the fallen cultivators to attack Xuling Mountain. Master has fought against Miexian many times and is very experienced, so he was called back."

Dian Ziman finally nodded and snorted coldly, "Then tell me, where will the eighth clone of the Fallen Ancestor go?"

Bai Ang smiled, "Do you know the current situation of the Xuanyin Star Region?"

Noriko folded his arms and sneered, "If you have to fart, do it now."

Bai Ang wasn't angry either, he chuckled and said, "The Dark Mist Disaster has already appeared in the Xuanyin Star Region, so it stands to reason that Dark Mist Son appears very frequently."

"But now, after the Nether Mist Calamity appeared, it suddenly disappeared before the cultivators could arrive."

Noriko frowned, "What do you mean?"

Bai Ang sighed, "The eighth clone! He ate those dark mist particles!"

Dian Ziman finally reacted, but his frown deepened. "Why did the eighth clone swallow Ming Wuzi?"

Bai Ang shrugged, "Of course it's to increase my strength as quickly as possible."

"So, he's still in the Xuanyin Star Region?" Dian Ziman clenched his fists thoughtfully. "I understand. Next time the Dark Mist Disaster appears, I'll find him immediately and capture him alive!"

Friendly reminder: The website is about to be redesigned, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "Bookshelf" and "Reading History" in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for the inconvenience!

Bai Ang immediately shook his head, "No, with the strength of the eighth clone, it can easily kill an ordinary Ming Wuzi. By the time we get there, it will be too late."

Noriko said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean? Don't keep me in suspense."

Bai Ang said in a deep voice, "A large number of Dark Mist Sons have appeared. They must want to revive the Dark Mist Mother."

"I guess the eighth clone will also stay in the Xuanyin Star Region, waiting to devour the Dark Mist Mother."

"The Dark Mist Mother is formidable. If he wants to devour her, it will be a long and arduous journey. If we reappear at that time, it will be easy to capture her."

"You also know that the Eighth Avatar is now powerful enough that it is impossible for you and I to capture him alive alone."

Noriko Man didn't think about it for too long and nodded immediately, "Okay, let's do it."

The two exchanged star chart marks and left.

The star disk mark allows them to communicate unimpeded, which is equivalent to a higher-grade sound transmission jade.

…

Giant Star, Extremely Dark Cave.

Chu Xuan took back the spiritual jade slip with a look of admiration.

"An Lingxunzhen really gave me a good thing!"

"This Taixue clone is an excellent clone for accelerating the progress of cultivation!"

He was delighted.

This divine consciousness jade slip records the method of refining the "Taixue clone".

Many disciples of the Wanxing Immortal Palace will refine such an avatar after reaching the state of out-of-body experience.

This clone only has spiritual power but is weak in fighting.

But they have strong learning and comprehension abilities.

He is particularly good at comprehending the art of formations, the art of alchemy, the art of strangeness, and the art of talismans.

In this way, the main body does not need to focus on cultivating the hundreds of arts, and can free up time to focus on improving strength.

"However, refining this clone is also quite difficult. The main material requires extremely high-grade spiritual wood, and the auxiliary materials are also rare natural treasures..."

"But this matter cannot be taken lightly. The grade of the spiritual wood is closely related to the aptitude of the clone. The highest aptitude of the clone can reach Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Heavenly Spiritual Body."

"If I settle for second best and find a spiritual wood of a lower grade, the Taixue clone I will eventually refine will also be inferior, which would be a waste of my own time."

Chu Xuan pondered over it and suddenly remembered the little gluttonous tree he had thrown on the Blue Sea Star.

His only impression of the Little Greedy Tree was that he could exchange blood and honey for ten years of life every once in a while.

If it weren't for the fact that the main material for the Taixue clone required high-grade spiritual wood, he probably wouldn't have remembered the little gluttonous tree for a long time.

Is the glutton tree of high quality?

It must be very high!

Otherwise, how could it have so many wonderful uses?

Not to mention anything else, the magical effect of unlimitedly increasing lifespan alone is simply incomparable to any other spiritual wood.

Chu Xuan took a step forward, carrying a few jars of blood honey and went to find the little greedy tree to have a warm conversation.

After a while, he brought back a large piece of spiritual wood.

"It's so easy to fool..."

Chu Xuan was quite emotional.

The greedy tree that the outside world fears has become a harmless ATM in his place.

With the main materials, we just need to send someone to collect the remaining auxiliary materials.

Chu Xuan looked through the Qiankun bag that Li Yin brought and found that there were many rare treasures in it that were exactly what he needed.

Therefore, it took less than half a year to gather all the materials needed to refine the Taixue clone.

Then comes the old steps.

Divide the soul, refine the body, and unite the soul and body.

It took another ten years to complete all this.

This time, Henry Chu did not refine the Taixue clone according to his own appearance.

After thinking for a moment, he chose the appearance of himself as a child.

Therefore, the Taixue clone became a little baby with red lips and white teeth.

The so-called youth is the time to read.

This is exactly in line with the role of the Imperial College clone.

Chu Xuan looked at the little baby clone in front of him, and after a sweep of his spiritual sense, he revealed an expression of special satisfaction.

"Heavenly grade wood spiritual root!"

"The spirit body is slightly inferior, only earth grade."

"But it is the 'One Hearing, One Thousand Enlightenments' that increases one's understanding, which perfectly fits the role of the Imperial Academy clone!"

Because the Taixue clone did not exist for fighting, Chu Xuan did not give him any powerful skills to practice. Instead, he reused it and gave him the skills practiced by the free demon body.

The first priority for any newly created clone is the same.

You must first practice spiritual power techniques to improve your realm.

Only with abundant spiritual power and a strong spirit can one speed up the process of comprehension.

If one only has low spiritual power and a weak soul like those at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Elixir stage, one would probably have to stop and rest to recover after comprehending for a short while.

It would be better not to have this clone.

Seeing that the Taixue clone had already begun to draw energy into the body, Chu Xuan was amazed.

"No wonder almost every disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Immortal Palace has a Taixue clone."

"In this way, even if one's own spiritual roots are slightly weaker, one can still gain enlightenment with the help of the Taixue clone."

"It seems that after reaching the Out-of-Body Realm, the role of spiritual roots is actually not that great."

"What matters more is the fighting strength. As long as the strength is strong, you can plunder more cultivation resources and then refine various powerful clones."

When he thought about the out-of-body cultivators in the ninth-level cultivation sects, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that they probably all had two or three top-level clones.

The foundation of a big sect is great!

In order to get him to help take care of Dan Jieli, An Lingxunzhen casually gave Taixue Avatar, the method of refining the top-level cultivation clone.

He didn't even dare to imagine what other sects' methods of refining top-level clones were.

"Right now I need to recuperate and recover my spirit."

Chu Xuan sat down cross-legged, concentrating his mind.

After the soul is divided, the soul itself will be in a weak period.

Now is a time of great turmoil, and he doesn't want any disaster to happen when he is weak.

…

On a desolate star.

There was dead silence.

Looking around, all you can see are vast expanses of desert, rocks and sinkholes.

There is no green in sight.

In a tiankeng, there were five people waiting.

They were all wearing pure black suits with a small black tower embroidered on the cuffs.

A moment later, a figure appeared out of nowhere.

The five people immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, messenger!"

The messenger was also dressed in black, but he had a big belly.

The tight clothes outline the belly, making it look particularly funny.

But no one dared to sneer.

Because they had all heard of the notorious reputation of this envoy Dong Taicheng.

Dong Taicheng said calmly, "What's the situation?"

The first person whispered, "We have already gathered the remaining people from the other side. We have two people at the Earth level and fourteen at the Mysterious level."

"Some people have already entered the world and were very hesitant about whether to join my Taiyin Tower, and did not agree immediately."

Dong Taicheng laughed strangely, "Who?"

The man whispered, "Earth-level Beyonder Skylark, she also has more than ten Profound-level subordinates."

"She is quite powerful and is currently running an intelligence business on Yulong Star."

"Messenger, do you want to..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Dong Taicheng thought for a moment, "Now is the time to use someone, so I'll send someone to contact her."

"If you still don't want to, I'll sacrifice her when the grand plan begins."

"By the way, how's the information I asked you to gather about the meritorious monks going?"

Upon hearing this, the second person stepped forward and presented a divine consciousness jade slip. "There are many demonic cultivators in the Xuanyin Star Region, so there are not many people with merit. Our investigation so far has only found over fifty people with the second level of merit, eleven people with the third level, and one person with the fifth level."

Dong Taicheng raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Fifth level of merit?"

Everyone nodded, "The Great Imperial Dragon Sect's Out-of-Body Patriarch Chu Xuan possesses the fifth level of the Golden Wheel of Merit."

Dong Taicheng laughed strangely, "Great, the Five-Layered Golden Wheel of Merit, I can use it as a guide to reverse the evil karma and help the Nether Mist Mother to resurrect!"

"The fifth level of the Golden Wheel of Merit, tsk, if it were all reversed to the fifth level of evil karma, the Dark Mist Mother would be able to recover most of her strength as soon as she was resurrected!"

The second person asked, "Messenger, what about the others..."

Dong Taicheng sneered, "Capture them all. They are necessary materials for refining the Evil Karma Pearl."

"With this, you can temporarily reverse good deeds into bad karma."

"Yes." Everyone nodded and left.

…

"Tsk tsk tsk, the spiritual roots of heaven and the spiritual body of earth, the cultivation is really fast!"

Chu Xuan looked at the Taixue clone who was practicing meticulously and was amazed.

It took him several months to recover his spirit, and he still hasn't fully recovered.

But Taixue's clone has actually cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although he had the bonus of his main body cultivation, he was still a little surprised that it had reached such a fast level.

He strode out of the cave, breathing the air of Lingzhu Mountain, feeling much lighter.

"Skylark, where is Skylark?"

He spoke loudly, and his voice spread throughout Lingzhu Mountain.

Yun Que only spends part of his time running the intelligence business under a fake identity.

Most of the time he practiced in Lingzhu Mountain.

Chu Xuan gave her a token that allowed her to enter and exit the Lingzhu Mountain formation at will, but it only gave her the power to enter and exit the formation.

You are not allowed to go to other places such as the training room and the alchemy room.

A moment later, a black figure appeared in front of him.

Skylark's outfit remains the same.

The plump and graceful body is tightly wrapped in black tights.

He wore a black belt around his waist and black cloud shoes on his feet.

The whole person exudes a capable temperament from top to bottom.

"Master, I'm here." Yu Que bowed respectfully.

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "I asked you to collect the spiritual objects that can leave the body. How is your collection going?"

The devil's body has already reached perfection and can break out of the body at any time.

The spiritual roots of the land can provide a 20% to 30% success rate of leaving the body.

My own body can also provide a 30% success rate.

The remaining part of the success rate needs to be filled with out-of-body spiritual objects.

Fortunately, he has already reached the state of out-of-body cultivation and has a considerable family fortune. With his current foundation, it is much easier for him to collect out-of-body spiritual objects than before.

"I already have it." Yun Que nodded respectfully and took out a Qiankun bag and presented it respectfully, "Inside it are four orifice-opening pearls and a bottle of Yin-Yang Seven-orifice Juice."

Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "Okay."

Four pearls of enlightenment are enough to provide a 20% success rate for promotion.

A bottle of Yin-Yang Seven Apertures Juice can provide a 10% success rate for promotion.

This is probably enough.

When the clone is promoted, the success rate will increase a lot.

After all, he had already opened up the most difficult path for his clone.

The clone just needs to walk over.

Naturally it saves a lot of effort.

Moreover, as long as the main body survives a catastrophe, the clone will not encounter a heavenly catastrophe when trying to reach this level again.

Even if it fails, it will not be as seriously injured or even die as if the original body fails to pass the tribulation.

If you fail, you can try again.

At best, it's just a waste of more than ten years.

"Today I can try to achieve a breakthrough."

"If I succeed, I will gain a powerful clone, which will be of great benefit in terms of spiritual power and blood."

Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction and immediately handed the thing to his clone to refine it.

"Master..." Yu Que suddenly called him.

"What?" Chu Xuan frowned.

Yun Que said in a deep voice, "Those fallen cultivators are here again. They claim to be from the Taiyin Tower and say that the people on the other side are actually a branch of the Taiyin Tower. They want me to join them, otherwise I would be a traitor."

Henry Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Taiyin Tower..."

He had never heard of this force.

It is probably from another star region.

He thought again and again, "Just agree to it for now and infiltrate their ranks."

"If there are any unusual movements, please send me a message."

Yun Que nodded respectfully, "I understand."

She turned and was about to leave.

Henry Chu took out a few bottles of healing pills and threw them over, "Self-preservation is the first priority."

All the healing pills he has on hand have been optimized by him without exception.

Costs are reduced and drug efficacy is improved.

There is also a bottle among them that can heal the injuries of the soul.

It is enough to use it as a life-saving trump card for Yunque.

Yun Que's heart warmed, "Thank you, Master!"

Chu Xuan didn't watch Yunque for too long, and turned to enter the cave.

…

A few months later.

The free demon body successfully entered and exited the body.

Chu Xuan ordered him to continue practicing "Gangtian Xuanji Baolu" and strode out of the cave, feeling cheerful.

"Skylark! Skylark!"

He shouted a few times, and his voice spread throughout Lingzhu Mountain.

He planned to ask about the recent situation in the Yunque Xuanyin Star Region.

However, Yun Que did not appear in front of him for a long time.

He couldn't help but frown and took out the sound transmission jade.

He found that Yunque didn't send him any message either.

He called Ling Xueying again and asked a few questions, and found that Yunque had not appeared for a long time.

It was as if it disappeared out of thin air.

Henry Chu frowned deeply, "Could it be..."

He had previously asked Yunque to pretend to enter the Taiyin Tower to gather intelligence.

Could it be that her disguise was discovered by the Taiyin Tower?

"Taiyin Tower..."

Henry Chu's eyes were cold.

He originally held the idea of ​​keeping out of other people's business.

As long as the Taiyin Tower does not offend him, he is too lazy to attack it.

But now Skylark is missing.

The disappearance of such a smart and capable subordinate would be a huge loss to him!

Ling Xueying said in a deep voice, "Ancestor, my Yulong Star has recently experienced five sudden disasters of Nether Mist, but they all lasted for a short time and covered a very small area."

"Several Divine Transformation cultivators worked together to eliminate it."

"So I didn't disturb you."

Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.

Such a weak Dark Mist Disaster?

It was the first time he saw it.

Ling Xueying presented another Qiankun bag, "Oh, this is from Senior An Mingrong of Wufeng Mountain, who personally sent it to you."

"What is this?" Chu Xuan looked at the Qiankun bag, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Even if An Mingrong wanted to buy the Da Dichen Pill, she would do it in person and would not ask anyone else to do it for her.

Ling Xueying shook her head, "Senior An said it was something you urgently needed and it had to be delivered to you, so I didn't dare open it."

Henry Chu seemed to be thinking about something, and pointed to the stone table, "Put it there, you go back first."

Ling Xueying nodded.

After she left, Henry Chu paced back and forth around the stone table.

He thought for a moment and reached out to touch the Qiankun bag.

However, the next moment, a sense of alarm arose in his heart for no reason.

It seems that some disaster is about to happen.

And when he subconsciously retracted his hand.

This feeling suddenly disappeared.

Chu Xuan's eyes fixed, and without hesitation, he threw the Qiankun bag with all his strength and threw it far away from Lingzhu Mountain.
