"Great! Hahaha! I broke through two minor realms in one go!"
Aquamarine Star, Water Curtain Cave.
Chu Xuan flew out of the cave, his expression full of joy.
His previous premonition turned out to be correct.
He had already reached the second level of out-of-body experience, and his spiritual power had been accumulated for a long time.
In this way, he broke through two small realms in one go and directly reached the fourth level of out-of-body state.
In this way, he becomes a cultivator in the middle stage of the out-of-body realm.
Just relying on spiritual power, he can easily suppress a cultivator in the early stage of out-of-body experience.
In addition, the high-grade spiritual weapons on his body are enough to suppress five or six people in the early stage of out-of-body state.
With his current strength, he can kill Mu Qingfeng and the other two with one hand, without even needing Xiaohu, Sibi and Tianku.
"Hey, this is…"
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a series of subtle changes taking place around him.
He clearly did not activate the Golden Wheel of Merit, but five layers of Golden Wheel of Merit rose up behind his head.
Golden light suddenly emanated from his entire body, making him look like a god or a saint.
Layers of auspicious clouds flew in from the horizon for no reason, sometimes they looked like dragons, sometimes like tigers, sometimes like white cranes, and sometimes like unicorns.
There are countless auspicious signs.
"Could it be... the Sixth Layer Golden Wheel of Merit!"
Chu Xuan was overjoyed.
If you think about it carefully, the fully automatic merit machine 2.0 has been built for a long time.
During this period of time, he was busy training in the dark fog and disaster, and didn't pay much attention to this tremendous merit.
Now it's all integrated into his body.
He looked within at the golden wheel of merit.
As expected, it was just that last bit away from the sixth level of the Golden Wheel of Merit.
"The sixth level of merit begins today!"
Chu Xuan was full of vigor and energy.
I never expected that good things would come to me so easily!
Buzz!
In the Soul Star Formation, a Chaos Demon fell down wailing.
The merits as thick as silk were integrated into Chu Xuan's body.
It is like the last quantity in which quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
It was at this moment.
The tangible golden light of merit directly submerged him.
A golden beam of light shot up into the sky, straight into the starry sky, stirring endlessly.
A towering giant formed by golden light emerged in the sky.
On the Aquamarine Planet, no matter where they are, whether facing away or facing forward, every physical practitioner and psychic can see clearly.
They were so shocked that they almost knelt down from the bottom of their hearts.
Immortal!
This must be an immortal!
This phenomenon lasted for a full hour before disappearing.
The moment it disappeared, the golden light turned into fine golden rain and fell towards the Blue Sea Star.
At first, many people did not realize the purpose of this golden rain.
But when someone's hidden wounds healed quickly;
When someone breaks through the bottleneck that has troubled them for years;
When someone suddenly has a solution to a problem they've been pondering for a long time...
Everyone understood.
This is a gift from the immortals!
Body cultivators and psychics rushed to bathe in the golden rain.
But no one fought over it.
This golden rain seems to have the effect of calming the mind and soothing the emotions.
As long as I bathe in the golden rain, there will no longer be any conflict in my heart. I just want to stand there forever and never want to stop.
After a long time, the golden rain disappeared.
People left reluctantly.
Many people even knelt down devoutly and prostrated themselves before the "immortal residence" where Chu Xuan lived.
Chu Xuan smiled, took a step forward, and returned to the dark realm.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately felt something was different.
The mountains and rivers are still the same mountains and rivers, and the world is still the same world.
But closer.
Everything in the world, the mountains and rivers, seemed to be warmly welcoming and embracing him.
No matter where he is, he can easily integrate into it and mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
And he will not be easily rejected by heaven and earth like a fallen cultivator.
There was a certain indescribable meaning in his body.
It makes him even more mysterious.
But it is not as scary as the deep sea.
The Yaochi Palace, which is like the fairy music floating above the clouds, makes people worship it and want to kneel down involuntarily.
Chu Xuan was filled with emotion, "The six-layered golden wheel of merit is indeed very different!"
Although many factors such as lifespan, luck, and comprehension are invisible and intangible, they have obviously improved significantly.
He was very happy now. When he was in the mood, he simply let his soul leave his body and traveled around.
After entering the middle stage of out-of-body state, the distance that the soul can travel has increased dramatically.
Even if you roam freely in the dark domain, you don't have to worry about being too far away from your body and damaging your soul.
Moreover, the world from the perspective of the soul and the world from the perspective of the naked eye are indeed different.
From the perspective of the soul, there is spiritual energy of various attributes flowing freely everywhere.
Green wood aura, brown earth aura, blue water aura...
These spiritual energies intertwined and coiled, forming thunder spiritual energy, ice spiritual energy, wind spiritual energy, etc.
This has also led to a series of changes in the weather and landforms.
His soul passed through the gate of Xuanmiao Tianzong.
The new mountain gate is now being built in an orderly manner under the leadership of Ling Xueying and Gong Yue'e.
About one third of it is done.
However, the two are now engaged in a heated exchange.
He listened carefully and realized that the two were arguing about the spiritual wood.
Ling Xueying said that the materials used for the mountain gate must be solid and durable, and should be able to withstand at least five thousand years without rotting or being damaged by insects.
Otherwise, if it rots or gets eaten away easily, it will be laughed at by outsiders.
Gong Yue'e said that there was no need to build every part of the mountain gate to the standard of being able to remain rotten or rotten for five thousand years.
At present, we only need to build the sect's main hall and other facades to the highest standards.
The mountain gate may need to be further expanded in the future. If it is all built according to the highest standards, then it will have to be demolished and rebuilt.
The two women both had their own opinions and strong personalities. Other elders who had attained the state of transformation, such as Chang Mo, did not dare to take the initiative to persuade them.
So there is still no conclusion.
Chu Xuan's soul passed by them, leaving only one sentence, "Yue'e's words make sense."
Ling Xueying and Gong Yue'e both looked stern and bowed respectfully.
Chang Mo and the others did not dare to say anything and bowed respectfully.
But there was no sign of Chu Xuan.
After a while, Ling Xueying seemed to remember something and whispered, "Perhaps the ancestor's spirit left his body and discovered us arguing here, so he spoke. He should have left by now."
"The soul has left the body..." Everyone sighed.
Gong Yue'e couldn't help but feel a surge of longing in her heart.
It is really desirable that a true master can achieve great success, with his soul leaving his body and traveling around the world.
After a brief moment of admiration, her eyes dimmed a little.
In order to protect her family, she took the elixir and successfully achieved the state of spiritual transformation, but she would never be able to become a cultivator who had achieved the state of out-of-body experience.
It is better to get rid of such thoughts as soon as possible.
Ling Xueying didn't say much, but she was thinking of her master Feng Zhenjun in her heart.
Master Feng has been practicing for many years but is still in the early stage of leaving the body, and it is rare for his soul to leave the body.
Every time the soul leaves the body, it is only to practice the secret method of spiritual consciousness, and never leaves the physical body too far.
Chu Zhenjun's soul can move so far away from his body.
The difference is obvious.
Chu Xuan's soul flew towards a farther place, crossing mountains and rivers.
All kinds of worldly affairs in the north and south of the dark domain are within sight.
Some people were refining elixirs and weapons, setting up formations and drawing talismans.
Some people sit in a quiet room and practice martial arts.
Some people challenged each other to fight and exchange magic.
Some people sat cross-legged in the market, spreading out many talismans for sale.
There were also people who wanted to stop the car and steal the treasure, but they were not skilled enough and were hunted down instead.
He could also see spots of light distributed throughout the dark area.
Those are the places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges.
Either it is a cultivator at the Divine Transformation level or above who is in meditation, or it is a natural spirit stone vein.
Or they could be naturally grown treasures that gather spiritual energy on their own.
However, the vast majority of these points of light are extremely tiny.
This means that their value is not high.
"Huh…"
Henry Chu looked towards a place in Donglu and raised his eyebrows.
The soul flew away quickly, stirring up a strong wind on the soul level wherever it passed.
The monks were shivering with cold, and their intuition and soul seemed to be frozen.
They were suspicious, but didn't know what was going on, so they finally gave up.
A moment later, Chu Xuan's soul hovered above a valley in Donglu.
Looking down at the valley, it is vast and boundless, lush and verdant, with primitive and ancient towering trees everywhere, reaching into the sky.
There were also roars of various monsters coming from far and near in the valley, and there was a faint feeling of intimidation between them.
It was obvious that a conflict had occurred in the territory of a powerful monster, and the conflict was about to be resolved in the most primitive way.
These are all appearances. What the soul is best at is seeing through the appearances and getting to the essence.
He immediately saw a four-colored magical herb deep in the valley.
The magical herb swayed in the wind, as if absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
At a certain moment, I seemed to feel the gaze of an outsider.
The spiritual grass immediately panicked and pulled its roots out of the ground, fleeing deeper into the valley.
Its roots look like a vivid dragon!
"Four-color dragon ginseng!"
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he flew into the air. When he appeared again, he was already above the spiritual grass.
With a flick of his finger, he grasped the four-colored dragon ginseng in his hand.
This substance can be used as the main ingredient, combined with other spiritual herbs and medicines, to refine the "Dragon Ginseng Yuandan" which is suitable for mid-stage out-of-body cultivators to break through the realm.
Compared with other Yuandan, Longshen Yuandan has stronger medicinal effects.
Henry Chu couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.
Every time the out-of-body realm is elevated, the soul becomes more powerful.
Many times, when the soul leaves the body, it can see through the surface and reach the essence.
This four-colored dragon ginseng is hidden very deeply, and it would be difficult for him to detect it if he flew over it.
But after the soul left the body, he could easily see a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered here.
This is exactly the benefit of the soul leaving the body.
Chu Xuan suddenly remembered something else. "In addition, there are spiritual weapons that can only be used when the soul leaves the body. Such spiritual weapons usually target the opponent's soul directly, and can kill people invisibly. However, they are also more difficult to refine."
"The Great Transformation and Freedom Heavenly Demon Sutra that I possess does contain the method for refining such a spiritual weapon."
"If I have the chance in the future, I can refine one or two."
He had only one idea about this spiritual weapon.
You can do without it, but you can't live without it!
If his opponent uses such means against him, he must at least have equal means to counterattack.
…
On a merchant ship.
An Mingrong sat upright in the cabin.
Thinking back on the past, she still feels scared.
She is different from other cultivators. She has practiced the Dark Mist Method, and the strange shadows in the Dark Mist Disaster rarely attack her actively.
She has always been successful and has obtained a lot of magical medicines and minerals.
However, the longer she stayed in the dark fog disaster, the more she felt as if she was being assimilated.
Almost every day, a voice whispered beside her, tempting her to continue using the Dark Mist Seed to borrow more power from the Dark Mist Mother.
At first, she still had a lot of Da Dust-Cleansing Pills. Although she couldn't completely suppress the temptation of the voice, it could at least ensure that she would not fall into depravity.
But later, with the revival of the Dark Mist Mother, the power of bewitchment became stronger and stronger.
The number of Da Dust-Cleansing Pills is becoming increasingly scarce, until there is not a single one left.
If the Dark Mist Disaster had not suddenly disappeared, she would almost immediately turn into a monster like the Dark Mist Shadow.
Although she has now escaped from the disaster of the dark fog, she still feels uncomfortable.
This time, she had been in the dark fog disaster for too long, and part of her body had begun to turn into mist.
She looked at the bottle of pills in her hand.
A month ago, if it weren't for this bottle of pills, she would have completely lost control.
However, the person who sent the pills had bad intentions from the beginning.
This pill is like poisoned wine.
At this moment, a faint black mist suddenly appeared on the surface of the pill.
An Mingrong's eyes narrowed as she said in a low voice, "Chu Jie, I told you not to disturb me when I'm practicing."
A smiling voice rang out from the black fog. "I'm your savior, and this is how you speak to your benefactor?"
An Mingrong's eyes were gloomy, and after a few breaths, she said, "What do you want from me?"
Chu Jie smiled and said, "That's right, don't worry, it's just a small task."
"The higher-ups have already found out who took Dong Taicheng's Styx Blood Essence."
"He is a cultivator in the early stage of the Out-of-Body Realm. He killed two cultivators in the early stage of the Out-of-Body Realm not long ago and is currently entrenched in the Dark Realm."
"Go and bring back the blood essence of the Styx."
"As long as you complete this mission, you will become one of us, and you can have as many Mist Condensing Pills as you want in the future."
An Mingrong frowned deeply. "If we want to snatch a piece of Styx Blood Essence from an early stage Out-of-Body cultivator, there is no other way except to kill him."
"But this person is able to kill two people in the early stage of the Out-of-Body Realm, which means that he must be a leader among them."
"Excuse me, you seem to have overestimated my strength."
Chu Jie laughed and said, "Of course I will go with you."
"You and I both practice the Dark Mist Technique. Together, we are more than capable of dealing with an early stage Out-of-Body Realm cultivator."
"Before the Dark Mist, he has to coil up like a dragon and lie prone like a tiger!"
An Mingrong thought thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then it's fine."
"The Taiyin Tower is very powerful, so it should have information about that person."
"I want to know his intelligence in advance."
Chu Jie nodded, "Of course!"
The black fog split into a wisp of mist and sank into An Mingrong's eyebrows.
A lot of information came into her mind.
"Chu Xuan?"
An Mingrong was stunned.
Chu Jie smiled and said, "It's him. You and he were both elders of the Jiuyou Palace who had reached the state of transcendence. You should be familiar with his methods."
"The two of us will definitely be able to capture him easily."
An Mingrong lowered her eyes, a gleam of light flashing in them, "You're right... I do understand."
…
Dark Domain, Dayan Mountain.
An Mingrong and Chu Jie stood at the foot of the mountain, looking out at the mountains shrouded in mist.
The former frowned slightly.
Although she did not enter the maze in person, she vaguely felt the threat.
Ling Xueying stood in front of them and said respectfully, "True Lord, please wait a moment. I have already sent a sound transmission talisman. The ancestor should respond soon."
An Mingrong nodded slightly.
A moment later, a token flew out of the mist and landed in Ling Xueying's palm.
Ling Xueying led the two of them through the winding passage with ease, passed through the fog, and arrived at Dayan Mountain.
In a small pavilion beside the deep pool, a figure in black had already been sitting cross-legged, quietly brewing tea.
Ling Xueying bowed and said, "Grandmaster, I have brought Master An and the others here."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
Ling Xueying then bowed and left.
An Mingrong strode over and sat down in front of Chu Xuan.
Chu Jie stood behind her, respectful and there was no sign of any problem.
Chu Xuan smiled, "Long time no see, Brother An is still as energetic as ever."
An Mingrong shook her head. "There's nothing magical about it. I just luckily escaped the Nether Mist Disaster."
"I also want to thank you for those pills. They saved me from dying in there."
Henry Chu's expression remained normal, and he just chuckled, "If you need anything, Fellow Daoist An, I still have some."
An Mingrong nodded, "Okay."
Henry Chu looked at the person behind An Mingrong and asked, "Haven't you asked who this person is yet?"
An Mingrong said with a smile, "Chu Jie, my new lover."
Chu Jie stepped forward and said respectfully, "Greetings to Master Chu."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
The two chatted for a while, talking about all sorts of irrelevant topics.
After a long while, Henry Chu's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly shouted angrily, "An Mingrong, you actually poisoned me! I have no grudge against you!"
He suddenly stood up and was about to activate the spiritual weapon.
But I couldn't move it.
It seemed as if all the spiritual energy in the body had stagnated!
An Mingrong said nothing and immediately activated the golden ring to cover Chu Xuan's head!
Chu Jie laughed strangely, "What do you mean by no grudges? From the moment you stole the Styx Blood Essence from my Taiyin Tower, you should have known that you were already dead!"
His right arm suddenly turned into dark mist and suddenly strangled Chu Xuan's throat!
It was at this moment.
The golden ring that was about to cover Chu Xuan suddenly changed direction and covered him!
Chu Jie's pupils suddenly shrank. He had never expected An Mingrong to do such a thing.
In a hurry, he only had time to turn his torso into mist, trying to avoid the restraint of the golden ring.
But Chu Xuan, who was unable to activate the spiritual weapon just now, suddenly sacrificed a small city of bones at this moment.
The small city of bones suddenly expanded hundreds of times, directly bursting through the small pavilion beside the pond. It was like a huge city that covered the sky and fell from the sky, suppressing him on the spot and making him unable to move.
The speed at which the torso was atomizing also slowed down a bit.
It was this slight slowdown that caused the golden ring to completely trap him.
The body could no longer turn into mist and escape.
Seeing Chu Xuan and An Mingrong walking towards him with a faint smile.
Chu Jie's face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
He roared, "An Mingrong, you're crazy! We're the only ones who can cure your corruption! Without the Mist Condensing Pill, you'll soon lose your mind!"
"Let me go! There's still time!"
An Mingrong just crossed her arms and sneered.
Chu Xuan laughed and said, "Mist Condensing Pill? Is that the pill used by the fallen cultivators of the Taiyin Tower to suppress the Nether Mist Seed?"
An Mingrong said coldly, "Chu Jie used this thing to control my lifeline and force me to work for them."
Chu Jie was speechless and said, "An Mingrong! If you know this, why did you join forces with him to deal with me?"
"We are all the same kind of people!"
"As long as you complete this mission and retrieve the Blood Essence of the Styx, you will belong to the Taiyin Tower from now on!"
An Mingrong sneered, "Lunar Tower? I can't even see the sun if I follow you guys every day?"
"Although I have learned the Dark Mist Technique, I don't want to be a fallen cultivator who is hated by everyone."
Chu Jie took a few deep breaths, then laughed in anger, "Okay, okay! So what are you going to do? Search my soul?"
"Excuse me for being blunt, I'm from Taiyin Tower..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xuan's eyes turned purple and he used the Great Soul Control Demon Eyes.
Before Chu Jie could finish his words, his soul had already been controlled by Chu Xuan.
Seeing this, An Mingrong's expression changed slightly and she involuntarily took a few steps back.
After a moment, the purple in Chu Xuan's eyes disappeared.
He rubbed his temples and frowned, "This is not Chu Jie's real body, but a clone."
An Mingrong was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile, "I don't know either. I had very few choices at that time."
"If he hadn't provided me with your information, I'm afraid I would have been forced to become a member of the Taiyin Tower."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
Every time An Mingrong came to visit, it was to buy the Da Di Chen Dan, and she would never come to visit on purpose.
Combined with the fact that the three of them were sitting in the pavilion just now and An Mingrong was deliberately chatting with him about this and that, he had already guessed the woman's true intentions.
An Mingrong couldn't help but ask, "Why were you able to search his soul? He told me that there are restrictions on the souls of fallen cultivators in the Taiyin Tower, and it is extremely difficult to search the souls of cultivators of the same realm."
Henry Chu smiled and said, "It's extremely difficult, but not completely impossible."
An Mingrong seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment she asked, "So, what did you find out just now?"
Henry Chu just smiled and said, "Why should I tell you?"
An Mingrong gritted her teeth and said, "I got a lot of spiritual minerals during the disaster this time. I think there should be what you need."
"How about a spiritual ore in exchange for a question?"
Henry Chu then smiled and nodded, "Yes."
An Mingrong asked solemnly, "What are the plans for the Taiyin Tower?"
As she spoke, she took out a piece of green spiritual ore and handed it over.
This is the "Qing Mi Crystal", which contains a huge amount of pure wind-attribute spiritual energy and is very suitable for refining into wind-attribute spiritual weapons.
Chu Xuan accepted it with a smile, "The Taiyin Tower intends to use the blood essence of the Styx to find the whereabouts of the Netherworld Mountain. Because there is also the blood essence of the Styx in the Netherworld Mountain."
An Mingrong was completely confused.
I had no choice but to ask a second question, "Can I stay in the Dark Realm for a while and buy the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill from you?"
As he spoke, he took out the second piece of Qingmi crystal.
Henry Chu smiled and shook his head, "You can't stay here, but I can sell you the Dadichen Pill."
"However, the raw materials for the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill are hard to find, so the price will have to increase by 20%."
An Mingrong cursed the profiteer inwardly before asking, "One last question. If the Taiyin Tower fails in its plan this time, they will definitely keep a close eye on you. How are you going to solve this problem?"
As he spoke, he handed over the third piece of Qingmi crystal.
Henry Chu didn't answer, but just chuckled, "I have my own way, I can't answer this question."
An Mingrong said regretfully, "Okay."
After a while, An Mingrong left alone. There were five more bottles of Da Dust-Cleansing Pills in her Qiankun bag, enough for her to use for a long time.
It was a long time after An Mingrong left.
The real Chu Xuan walked out of the cave, looking thoughtful.
An Mingrong's sudden visit was not sure whether it was a blessing or a curse. He had been suspicious for a long time and did not greet her with his real body. Instead, he sent out his free demon body early in the morning.
The appearance and body shape of the Demonic Body of Freedom are exactly the same as his, and the realm is not much different either, so no one can tell the difference.
"The Taiyin Tower is targeting me. It is indeed a hidden danger and must be eliminated as soon as possible."
He immediately took out a five-pointed star.
This five-pointed star was a token of trust that Dan Jieli gave him when he left.
It is said that it has the same function as the Ten Thousand Stars Plate and also communicates through the Starry Tower.
However, its functions have naturally been reduced.
After he injected spiritual power, a spot of light immediately appeared.
That point of light represents Danjieli.
After a while, Dan Jieli's voice came from the other end of the pentagram.
"Hey, hey, Henry Chu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Henry Chu smiled, "I have a great achievement here, are you interested?"
Dan Jie Li was stunned. "Tell me about it."
Chu Xuan then told the location of the Taiyin Tower's Xuanyin Star Region sub-tower that he had obtained from searching Chu Jie's clone's soul.
It is true that the Taiyin Tower is extremely cautious in handling this kind of information.
There are even three directions in the memory of Chu Jie's clone.
Obviously, it was self-hypnosis, and the direction was left deliberately.
But one of them is always true.
As long as we attack these three locations at the same time, we can naturally wipe out the Taiyin Tower's stronghold in one fell swoop.
Dan Jieli was delighted to hear this, "This is indeed a great achievement!"
"However, there are very few senior brothers and sisters from the Celestial Palace in the nearby star regions..."
"I can talk to Master. He has friends in the Kunlun Sword Sect. Those ruthless sword cultivators would be happy to kill the fallen cultivators of the Taiyin Tower."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, "That's great."
It doesn't matter who does it.
He just wants the Taiyin Tower stronghold to disappear.
That's all.
Chu Xuan withdrew his spiritual power, and the five-pointed star dimmed again.
"Also, we learned the whereabouts of Yun Que... I hope she is still alive."
He seemed to be thinking about something and headed straight out of the dark area.
…
Outside the Dark Territory, Golden Wolf Star.
This star is one of the stars for cultivation under the control of Yaoguang Cave Heaven.
Like many stars, it was also affected by the Dark Mist Disaster, but it did not completely lose its vitality.
Only one-third of the area was affected.
Many monks still remain on the Golden Wolf Star.
Yunque was sent here as a member of the Taiyin Tower to collect intelligence about Yaoguang Cave.
Henry Chu's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
He easily slaughtered the fallen cultivators of the Taiyin Tower in this stronghold and brought Yunque back.
However, Yun Que's current condition is very strange.
In the cave of Dayan Mountain.
Yu Que knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Master, please kill me. I'm afraid I will soon become a monster like the Nether Mist."
Henry Chu frowned.
When he discovered Skylark on Venus, he noticed something strange in Skylark's body.
His practice of the Dark Mist Technique made rapid progress and his strength increased greatly, but the price he paid was that his entire body tended to turn into mist.
"No rush, tell me first, how did you become like this?" he said in a deep voice.
Yunque took a deep breath and told his story in detail.
It turned out that after she came into contact with the fallen cultivators of the Taiyin Tower under Chu Xuan's orders, Chu Jie discovered that she had practiced the Nether Mist Technique, and her progress was quite good.
Even if you look inside the Taiyin Tower, there are not many people like Yunque who have achieved a small degree of success in the Dark Mist Technique.
She was immediately taken seriously and given a large amount of fog-condensing pills to help her practice.
Without the help of the Great Dust-Clearing Pill, Yun Que had to use the Mist-Condensing Pill to suppress his degeneration.
The result was that the Dark Mist Dharma Seeds advanced by leaps and bounds, progressed too quickly, and degenerated more and more severely.
It's almost reached a point of no return.
Upon seeing this, the Lunar Tower gave up on her, stopped all supplies of Fog Condensing Pills, and sent her directly to the Golden Wolf Star, treating her as a backup time bomb.
As long as the time comes, a small-scale fog disaster will occur.
Skylark's eyes were red, "Master, Skylark apologizes to you. I can no longer do anything for you in the future."
Henry Chu stood up and paced back and forth for a while before saying, "Don't worry, there's still a lot of time before you completely fall. I'll think of a way."
"Take this bottle of Dadichendan first."
He flicked his fingers and threw a bottle of Dachendan into Yunque's hand.
Chu Xuan added, "There is a cave on the east side of Dayan Mountain. You can go there to rest for the time being."
Hibari pursed his lips, "Yes."
When he arrived at this simple cave on the east side of Dayan Mountain, Yunque could no longer control his emotions.
Two lines of clear tears fell down her cheeks.
She originally served Henry Chu as her master only because Henry Chu saved her life and she wanted to repay him.
If I die protecting my master someday, it would be considered a repayment for this great kindness.
But now she found that Henry Chu did not regard her as a disposable slave.
At this time, no matter whether it was the fallen cultivators from the Taiyin Tower, the fallen cultivators from the other side, or those ordinary cultivators, they had already run away, for fear of being contaminated by the aura of the Nether Mist and being degraded together.
But Henry Chu didn't, instead he was thinking of a solution.
In her life, she lost both her parents, had a rough journey in cultivating immortality, had fallen into bad practices, and struggled for half her life, but she had never met such a person.
"If I am lucky enough to survive, I will serve my master for the rest of my life as a loyal servant, and I will never abandon him even if I die!"
She looked at Chu Xuan's cave from afar with a very determined look in her eyes.
In Chu Xuan's cave.
He sat down cross-legged, deep in thought.
The Great Dust-Clearing Pill can only alleviate the aura of decadence on Yun Que.
To completely reverse the situation, drastic measures must be taken.
He thought for a long time, and suddenly three words appeared in his mind.
Dust-transforming pill!
Previously, he had obtained a bottle of Huachen Dan, a medicine for the out-of-body stage, at the Baili Family Treasure Conference in the Dark Realm.
This elixir has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit, and its effectiveness is a hundred times better than the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill.
He originally bought the Dust-Transforming Pill because he wanted to use his own attainments in alchemy to reverse engineer the recipe.
In this way, he could continuously refine the Dust-Transforming Pill so that he could continue to practice the third level of the "Taiyin Fallen Dragon Breathing Method".
However, after several attempts at reverse calculation, nothing was found, and three Dust-Transforming Pills were wasted.
He just put the matter aside for the time being.
Now that Yunque was on the verge of being irreversible, he thought of this matter again.
"Now that I have the sixth level of the Golden Wheel of Merit and possess a Heavenly Grade Alchemy Spirit Body, I will definitely be able to deduce the formula for the Dust-Transforming Pill!"
He took a step forward, returned to the Water Curtain Cave on Aquamarine Star, and immediately began to deduce.
at the same time.
Green Aphid Star.
In a market town.
It had only been a few years since the Dark Mist Disaster dissipated, and most of the sects in the nearby star fields were still licking their wounds.
Only the Qingxie Business Alliance is becoming increasingly prosperous.
Monks from all over the country gathered at the Qingxie Business Alliance to trade.
Among them, Qingxie Star, the main star of Qingxie Business Alliance, is the most prosperous and lively.
The cultivators coming and going are at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above, and Golden Core stage cultivators are rarely seen.
Even if there are any, they were brought out to see the world by their own ancestor who had achieved the state of transformation.
A girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old was strolling in the market.
The various spiritual snacks made her linger.
But every time she paid the bill, she would think of the senior brother who treated her but did not pay, and a look of sadness would appear on her face again.
In the end, she did not stop at the snack stand, but rented a training room.
She took a few deep breaths before taking out the Myriad Stars Plate and tapping out the light representing the Six Divination Lords.
The light came on.
At this moment, the master and disciple established contact through the Starry Tower.
But neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it made people silent.
After a while, Liubu Daojun calmly said, "You only remember me, your master, now?"
Dan Jieli whispered, "Master, Second Senior Brother's star core is with me."
Liubu Daojun said calmly, "I understand. Come back soon. He is a disciple of the Immortal Palace. Even if he dies, he should stay in the Immortal Palace."
Although his voice was calm, it was trembling unconcealably.
Dan Jieli nodded.
The master and disciple talked for a while, and the atmosphere became less awkward.
After a while, Dan Jieli whispered, "Master, do you have any friends in Kunlun Sword Sect?"
Liubu Daojun was stunned. "Indeed, there is. What's the matter?"
Dan Jieli then told the whole story in detail.
Liubu Daojun was thoughtful, "If what Chu Xuan said is true, this is indeed a great achievement."
Dan Jieli quickly said, "Chu Xuan is a very good person. Back when he was caught in the Nether Mist Disaster, he could have left, but he turned back and helped the two of us."
"He didn't have to deceive me."
Liubu Daojun nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask that fellow Daoist."
"If I remember correctly, he is currently leading people to hunt down a fallen creature in the wild star region north of the Tianfu Star Region."
Dan Jieli asked in surprise, "A fallen creature broke through Xuling Mountain and came in?"
Liubu Daojun said unhappily, "How is that possible? It's just a resurrected fallen creature."
"Don't worry about what happens next. Those killers from the Kunlun Sword Sect will leave no one alive wherever they go."
Dan Jieli then nodded and closed the Wanxing Disk.
…
"Great! As expected of a Heavenly Grade Dan Dao Spiritual Body, it's truly powerful!"
Henry Chu laughed loudly, looking happy.
It only took him one month to successfully deduce the recipe for the Dust-Transforming Pill.
Then I spent more than ten days optimizing it to reduce costs and improve efficacy.
Finally, it took another ten days to refine the first bottle of Dust-Transforming Pill!
He walked out of the Mirror of the Heavens and came to the cave on the east side of Dayan Mountain.
Yun Que's condition was indeed more serious than before.
Her right arm and left leg had completely turned into mist, and there were also large areas of mist all over her body.
When defending against enemies, the fallen cultivators who practice the Dark Mist Technique can actively turn parts of their body into mist to exert a powerful effect.
If the Dark Mist Seed is powerful enough, the atomization power can even be comparable to that of a high-grade spiritual weapon.
But now, although Yu Que did not use the Dark Mist Technique, his body still turned into mist.
This is the erosion of the body by the Nether Mist Seed, which is about to reach the critical value.
"Owner..."
Yunque struggled to stand up.
Her vision was obscured by the dark fog and was a little blurry.
Her ears were also filled with strange whispers and rustling whispers.
But she still smelled Henry Chu's scent at once.
Chu Xuan directly poured the entire bottle of Dust-Transforming Pills into Yunque's mouth.
To deal with this situation, drastic measures must be taken.
Yunque took it without hesitation.
She knew Henry Chu would not harm her.
In other words, even if Henry Chu wanted to kill her, what would be the harm?
Her life was originally saved by Chu Xuan, and now that she has returned it to Chu Xuan, she has completely repaid his life-saving grace.
As the Huachen Pill entered the stomach, it immediately released a surge of medicinal power, surging and flowing into every part of the body.
The whispers and whispers lingering in my ears soon became increasingly subtle.
The dark mist that was wrapped around the surface of the body also returned to the body and retracted into the dark mist magic seed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the skylark looked brand new.
Those beautiful eyes also regained their former brilliance.
"Thank you, Master!"
Yunque jumped out of bed and prostrated himself on the ground, extremely excited.
She hadn't had much hope.
Unexpectedly, the master could actually suppress the dark mist magic seed in her body again!
Henry Chu smiled, "Stay with me from now on."
"Yes!" Skylark said solemnly, "I am your slave in life and your ghost in death. I will never betray you!"
Henry Chu smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Skylark suddenly said, "Master, I want to change my name."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You want me to name it?"
He couldn't help but get excited.
Naming your pets is quite fun.
Yunque said solemnly, "I have made up my mind. From now on, I will be called Chu Yunque. I beg for your permission, Master."
Henry Chu laughed dumbly, a little surprised, "Since you like it, then call me that."
He strode out of the cave, feeling a little regretful.
What a pity, I thought I would give him a name.
Today is the day when I am most addicted to naming.
…
More than ten days later.
Chu Xuan received the news from Dan Jieli.
Some monks from Kunlun Sword Sect and Wanxing Immortal Palace joined forces to take action.
The Xuanyin Star Region branch of the Taiyin Tower has been uprooted.
The two deputy tower masters were killed on the spot.
The leader of the branch tower was a fallen cultivator who had fought tenaciously for a long time but was eventually killed.
A large number of fallen cultivators in the Taiyin Tower had no way to escape and all died.
Upon hearing this news, Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
He is indeed a cultivator from the Kunlun Sword Sect.
It was really decisive and ruthless, uprooting the whole thing.
As a result, the Lunar Tower will definitely be in chaos for a while and the plan will be delayed.
Without the attention of the Taiyin Tower, he would be much more at ease.
"I haven't had time to refine the Qingmi Crystal I got from An Mingrong yet, so I'm handing it over to the Taixue clone to refine it into Wangu City."
Chu Xuan was in a good mood. After assigning the task of refining equipment to his Taixue clone, he spread out his spiritual sense and patrolled the dark domain.
The construction of the Xuanmiao Tianzong mountain gate is still in full swing.
For many cultivators at a lower level, the little bit of reward that slips through their fingers is enough to benefit them for a long time.
Xuanmiao Tianzong has just built its mountain gate, and there are countless tasks such as mining spiritual minerals, cutting down spiritual trees, growing spiritual rice, picking spiritual herbs, and transporting goods.
There are still few disciples in Xuanmiao Tianzong, so they cannot carry out all the tasks, and they will outsource them layer by layer.
Even those who practice Qi training can get a share.
Therefore, when Henry Chu looked around, he could see many people with excited smiles on their faces.
He walked around the Dark Domain a few more times and didn't see anything unusual, so he returned to the Water Curtain Cave on the Aquamarine Star.
Things in the world of immortal cultivation have almost come to an end.
It's time to take a look at the situation in the psychic world.
When I get addicted to naming, I want to give a name to everything.
The Psychic Realm is the name he gave to the world on the other side of the Mirror of the Heavens.
…
The psychic world, Planet Aquamarine.
The highest point of the Black Blade Headquarters.
Nine powerful men in high positions gathered together.
The Council of Nine is the highest ruling body of Black Front. It is held every five years. It is used to discuss how to develop in the next five years. It is also an opportunity for the nine powerful people to explore and improve their respective strengths.
Except for the chief, the other eight people are from the Enlightenment Academy, the Body Refining Academy and the Spiritual Power Academy respectively.
Ensure that no one party dominates.
Logically speaking, there were no zombies on Planet Aquamarine any longer, and all supernatural creatures were under control.
There was little to worry the Council of Nine.
But this time, all nine of them had sad expressions on their faces.
Wang Huaqiang, the head of the Nine-member Council, said solemnly, "...This is the situation. Everyone, please speak up and tell us how to deal with this crisis."
The second seat said calmly, "There have been no zombies on this planet for a long time. There is no need to worry if sporadic zombies appear again. Just eliminate them. There is no need to start a war."
The fifth seat frowned. "It's true that the large-scale zombie crisis happened thousands of years ago, but that doesn't mean the reappearance of zombies today shouldn't be taken seriously."
The Sixth Seat followed up, "My suggestion is that Australia must be razed to the ground as quickly as possible, leaving no one alive, to ensure that the zombies don't spread to other continents."
The eight people each held their own opinion and argued endlessly.
Wang Huaqiang frowned deeply when he heard this.
How could he not hear that these people were all fighting for interests?
The second seat is unwilling to start a war because Australia is the second seat's sphere of influence and its base camp where it has been operating for a long time.
The sixth seat proposed to directly plow Australia flat because the sixth seat and the second seat have always had a bad relationship.
Some people also suggested going to the immortal palace to invite the immortals.
After all, a miracle happened not long ago.
But who will invite?
God knows whether the immortals will find them troublesome and even feel disgusted with them.
No one wants to do such a thankless task.
Just as everyone was arguing, a loud voice suddenly rang out in the conference room.
"I haven't been here for hundreds of years, and yet Black Front is in such a mess?"
This voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
It scared everyone.
You know, this is the heavily guarded Black Blade headquarters!
Not to mention the nine of them, they are all the strongest on Planet Aquamarine!
After looking at each other for a few times, all nine of them suddenly reacted.
Immortal!
Only immortals have such means!
Wang Huaqiang was the first to half-kneel down, "Wang Huaqiang, Chief of the Nine-Man Council, pays homage to the Immortal!"
The others also half-knelt down.
But judging from the looks of some of them, they obviously don't like to kneel down.
After all, they are the supreme rulers of this planet.
They haven't bowed down to anyone stronger than them for many years.
A shadow appeared in the conference room and looked around.
His eyes are like those of an immortal god overlooking all living beings from the clouds.
It's so terrifying to watch.
Those guys who were reluctant to kneel down just now now knelt on the ground with their bodies trembling.
"Wang Huaqiang...Who is Wang Gangjian to you?"
Chu Xuan glanced at the chief with gray hair at the temples and said casually.
Wang Huaqiang excitedly said, "My lord! Wang Gangjian is my ancestor."
Henry Chu nodded slightly, feeling a little emotional.
At the beginning, Heifeng was just a small security company in Donghu City, and its strongest person was only a second-level extraordinary person.
Now they have become a huge organization that rules Planet Aquamarine.
I don't know how many generations of managers of the Nine-Man Council have been replaced.
It's really sad.
Henry Chu said casually, "Tell me everything you saw in detail, without missing a single thing."
"Yes!" Wang Huaqiang nodded heavily.
After a moment, Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something. "This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly. Be prepared for battle."
All nine of them were startled.
Preparing for war?
What war are you preparing for?
Wang Huaqiang couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Immortal, who is our enemy..."
Henry Chu looked up at the sky and said calmly, "It came from the sky."
After saying this, the illusory figure suddenly disappeared.
The nine people in the conference room opened their eyes wide.
Alien enemies?
Wang Huaqiang said in a deep voice, "I think you all heard what the immortal said. Now is not the time to worry about those petty interests."
The other eight people were either happy or sad.
But now that the immortal has spoken, no one dares to disobey.
…
Australia.
This continent is isolated overseas. It is more like a big island than a continent.
Due to its unique climate, central Australia has always been dry, mostly desert, and only the marginal areas near the sea are quite humid.
The vast majority of people also gather in coastal areas.
This time, the zombie disaster broke out not in the coastal area, but in a small town in the vast inland area.
This small town is located along the railway and is a medium-sized transit station.
That's why there are some people.
But when Chu Xuan arrived here, thousands of people in the town had died.
Even the cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs in the town were killed.
Instead, there is a group of confused zombies.
Since Hei Feng did not keep his body refining method to himself, there are many body refining practitioners even in such a small inland town in Australia.
These body cultivators transformed into zombies, and their strength became even stronger.
Chu Xuan took a quick look and found that they all had the strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
There is also an exceptionally powerful individual that is almost comparable to a Fake Dan monk.
Of course, that's all.
In front of the dignified True Lord, they are all as weak as paper.
The Blood Demon's handprint fell from the sky.
Just smash all the zombies and zombie animals to pieces.
After a moment, Henry Chu looked at the sinkhole in the center of the town, thinking about something.
There was a green object the size of a head at the bottom of the pit.
It smells like a rotting rat that's been soaked in water and then exposed to 40-degree heat for three days.
It's really rotten and dirty.
Chu Xuan grabbed it from a distance and made it float in the air.
He was about to take a closer look.
A ball of dark green filthy mud suddenly shot out from it and rushed towards him!
A layer of spiritual power shield appeared on Chu Xuan's body, easily blocking it.
The mud failed in its plan and suddenly exploded.
Countless tiny particles invisible to the naked eye were suspended within a hundred meters around Chu Xuan.
They are like countless bloodthirsty insects, desperately trying to drill into the bodies of living people.
Chu Xuan sneered, waved his hand, and spiritual power surged out, casually gathering all the filthy particles within a radius of 100 meters and condensing them into a ball of green mud.
"This thing is like a natural source of filth, continuously releasing foul aura, contaminating the surrounding creatures and transforming them into zombies."
He pondered, "There has never been anything like this on Planet Aquamarine. It really came from outer space as I expected."
"It itself poses no threat, not even a soul, so it wasn't stopped by the Star Protection Formation."
"This is the first, but it won't be the last."
"Could it be that Zhuo Gu has already discovered Planet Aquamarine?"
He frowned deeply.
The information he currently has about the filth is seriously insufficient.
But there is no doubt that the strength of this Chaos God is definitely not inferior to his.
Being noticed by Zhuo Gou now is definitely not a good thing.
"The most urgent task is to determine whether Planet Aquamarine has become a target of the Filth Army."
Chu Xuan casually destroyed the source of filth in his hand, flew back to the Black Front headquarters at high speed.
Soon, the supreme order from the immortals was issued to the Council of Nine, ordering them to pay attention to all similar sources of filth around the world.
As expected.
A few days later, a summary of the information was placed in front of Henry Chu.
After taking a quick look, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there's only this one."
"But how did it get to Planet Aquamarine?"
Chu Xuan pondered for a long time but couldn't find the answer, so he simply took off into the air and patrolled around the Blue Sea Star.
As soon as he flew out of the Aquamarine Planet, he discovered something was wrong.
A battle is breaking out in the boundless starry sky!
When he got closer, he saw several warships engaged in a silent battle.
Surrounding them were three huge, dirty, dark green warships.
Upon closer inspection, it was found to be made up of corpse parts and bones.
The surface is covered with human skin and covered with blood vessels.
Surrounded by it was a bright red and white warship.
The latter exudes a psychic aura and is obviously powered by psychic energy.
Now the two sides have passed the stage of naval gunfire and are engaged in a fierce boarding battle.
At this moment, a fierce boarding battle is breaking out on the Yanhan Empire's "Yuanding" psychic battleship.
Due to being outnumbered and the sudden battle, the Yuanding's naval guns did not play a big role. Instead, several compartments were blown up by the naval guns of the three Chaos warships.
In order to obtain more chaotic power more directly and quickly, the corrupted General Zhuowu has led the Zhuowu soldiers, corpse monsters, and plague people to attack the Yuanding from all directions.
Dormitory areas, rest areas, fuel rooms, storage rooms... these filthy believers can be found everywhere.
Wherever it passed, the bright and smooth hull of the Yuanding was dyed into an ugly dark green.
The air was filled with deadly plague and stench.
If your psychic power level has not reached the Spring level or above, you are very likely to fall ill if you breathe in such air for just one minute.
Within three minutes at most, such a sick corpse would be standing on its feet again, fighting for the Chaos God's filth, and turning to swing its filthy claws at its former colleagues.
Now, the soldiers on the Yuanding are fighting and retreating towards the captain's room under the leadership of officers at all levels.
"Everyone retreat to the captain's cabin. I'll cover your retreat!"
A figure wearing power armor, holding a reflective round shield in his left hand and a shockwave glove in his right hand suddenly jumped out.
He swung his right hand, releasing spiritual energy, driving the shock force inside the gloves, and punched the corpse monster in front of him to pieces.
Rotting flesh and blood were splattered everywhere, covering every inch of the walls, floor, and ceiling in the corridor.
"Thank you, Captain Liu!"
The soldiers were overjoyed and rushed past the strong man and headed for the passage behind.
The burly man's name was Liu Changjiao, and he was one of the six captains on the Yuanding battleship.
When the battle broke out, he was ordered to check the fuel room with a few personal soldiers, and then separated from the other captains.
Liu Changjiao's power seemed endless. He stood here alone, like a reef beaten by the tide.
Countless corpse monsters and plague people rushed towards him, trying to pass him and enter the passage behind, but they were all smashed into countless pieces by his shockwave boxing gloves.
The filthy flesh tried to get into his eyes, nostrils, and ears.
But they were all shaken away by the psychic shield inside his power armor.
At this time, another explosion was heard.
The sudden vibration made Liu Changjiao unable to stand steadily.
He was almost hit on the head by the claws of a corpse monster.
When he regained his balance, he found that an extremely huge body had appeared in front of him.
Liu Changjiao saw the other person's face clearly and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it, are you dead too?"
It was obvious that the person in front of him was also a corpse monster.
But just a day ago, he was still drinking and having fun with the corpse monster, laughing and chatting happily.
The other party was one of the six captains of Yuanding.
But now he has died in this desperate battle.
His body was also contaminated by the power of filth and became a member of the filth believers.
Bang bang bang!
Liu Changjiao rushed forward with a roar.
The reflective round shield in the left hand blocks the attack, and the shockwave glove in the right hand points directly at the weak point.
After dozens of consecutive punches, his former colleague's head was blown off by him.
All the corpse monsters and plague people in this passage have now turned into body parts on the ground.
Plop.
He sat down on the blood-stained ground, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.
Listening to the shouts and roars coming from all directions, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of this strong man.
After all, he was just a high-ranking captain of the Quan level.
Even if there is a local advantage, it cannot change the overall situation.
Three Chaos warships laid siege.
The Yuanding was severely damaged.
They can no longer leave.
Everything you do now is just a futile struggle before death.
He looked out the porthole at the cold starry sky.
The starry sky is cold and empty, which makes people shudder.
"Rather than being transformed into a filthy believer after death, it is better to end my life in advance..."
Such a thought flashed through his mind.
Just as he raised the shockwave glove in his right hand and pointed it at his temple.
He suddenly saw a figure passing by the porthole.
"What...a person?"
Liu Changjiao looked shocked. He forced himself to stand up and leaned on the porthole to look out.
He immediately saw a black figure floating in the starry sky.
Without seeing this person making any movement, countless bloody hands appeared out of thin air and crushed the corpse monsters and plague people into dirty meat paste that was either purple or dark green.
Liu Changjiao was extremely shocked and muttered, "Can you survive in a vacuum environment without relying on power armor?"
"I've only heard that those generals can do it..."
"Is he a reinforcement?"
"No... This is clearly outside the Milky Way. We are far beyond the Empire's control..."
A moment later, the battle ended unexpectedly.
Liu Changjiao stood up with the help of several personal soldiers and came to the captain's room.
Also gathered here were another captain Huo Qing and a dozen soldiers.
Dozens of corpses lay on the floor of the captain's room.
The most familiar one among them is the Sichuan-level strongman, the captain.
In addition to these living people and corpses, there is also a strange figure dressed in black.
At this moment, the figure in black was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at them calmly.
Liu Changjiao first cautiously bowed to the black-clad figure and said, "Captain Liu Changjiao of Yuanding, I greet you, my Lord."
"I wonder who the higher-ups are...?"
Chu Xuan showed Yifeng's emblem and waved it in front of them.
"Ancient Order?"
Liu Changjiao and Huo Qing's eyes lit up.
The ancient order is mysterious and powerful. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor became rich because of the assistance of the ancient order.
The other party turned out to be a member of an ancient monastic order. Now everything could be explained.
Huo Qing knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and said apologetically, "Respected Master, please forgive us for our previous collision."
Henry Chu said casually, "It's okay."
When he first arrived at the captain's room, Huo Qing instinctively showed hostility towards him and immediately questioned his identity.
However, this is not difficult to understand.
The captain's room has always been the most central place inside a warship.
He appeared here openly, with the bodies of the captain and his personal soldiers beside him.
Anyone would associate him with the captain's death.
Henry Chu said casually, "I happened to be passing by and saw you guys fighting, so I came to help."
"Tell me, what exactly happened to you? Why were you surrounded and attacked by the followers of the Filth?"
Liu Changjiao and Huo Qing looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Your status is higher than mine, so go ahead and say it." Huo Qing sighed.
Liu Changjiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "We have detected a turbid army suddenly and purposefully heading outside the Milky Way."
"His Majesty the Emperor and his think tank believed that this filth army might have discovered a high-value target. We were dispatched to pursue this army and investigate their intentions."
"It's just... we encountered a stardust storm, and the Yuan Ding was separated from the other warships."
"We barely made it out of the stardust storm when we were immediately attacked by these three Chaos warships."
Liu Changjiao's expression was heavy with sorrow. "Then, just as you can see... the captain, four lieutenants, and most of the soldiers were killed in the battle."
"Stardust storm?" Chu Xuan looked puzzled.
Liu Changjiao nodded. "Haven't you encountered it before? It's a storm formed by the high-speed and disordered movement of star dust."
"The Stardust Storm is a terrifying natural disaster unleashed by the Chaos Gods. Even though this is outside the Milky Way, some of the Chaos power has spread."
"The largest stardust storm in history was the one that destroyed the Yanhan Dynasty..."
"Although it did not cause the fall of the Celestial Empire, it did cause communication between the various provinces of the Celestial Empire to become isolated islands in the darkness."
"That stardust storm was called the 'Great Storm,' and its effects are still being felt today."
Henry Chu keenly noticed one of the words.
"Aren't the Yanhan Celestial Dynasty and the Yanhan Empire the same?"
Liu Changjiao and Huo Qing looked at each other in surprise, "You don't know?"
Chu Xuan said calmly, "I have lived outside the Milky Way for a long time and rarely pay attention to these things."
Liu Changjiao and the other man had no suspicion of anything.
They also don't have much contact with the ancient order.
But I heard that almost all members of the ancient order have some quirks.
Many people bury their heads in research and don't care about external affairs.
This person has lived outside the Milky Way for a long time and is very powerful, so it is normal that he doesn't know what is happening in the outside world.
Liu Changjiao said respectfully, "Your Excellency, after the fall of the Yanhan Dynasty, the Great Galaxy experienced many years of turmoil."
"Until three hundred years ago, His Majesty, a descendant of the Yan and Han dynasties, started from Tianqi Star and established a new empire on the ruins of the Celestial Empire, restoring the glory of the Celestial Empire."
"This is the Yanhan Empire."
"In a narrow sense, the Yanhan Celestial Dynasty and the Yanhan Empire are indeed two different countries."
Liu Changjiao said proudly, "But we have always believed that there is no real difference between the two."
"Sooner or later, the Imperial soldiers will completely reclaim the Celestial Empire's territory and drive the Chaos Gods and their minions from the Milky Way!"
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
This statement is not difficult to understand.
It's like the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty.
Although they are all Han, they are not the same Han.
Henry Chu asked casually, "What are your plans next?"
Liu Changjiao gave a bitter laugh. "We need to rendezvous with the other warships and then decide whether to return to the Empire or continue searching for that Chaos Legion."
"But the Yuan Ding is severely damaged and temporarily unable to sail."
Henry Chu thought for a moment, "Let me take a look, maybe I can give you a repair plan."
Yifeng had left behind a lot of psychic technology on Planet Aquamarine.
Although Yifeng's psychic power level is not high, he does have a lot of psychic knowledge in his mind.
The psychic knowledge he left behind on Planet Aquamarine included long-range psychic techniques, close-range psychic combat methods, and psychic equipment powered by psychic energy.
Such a spring-level member of the ancient order has such knowledge.
This made Chu Xuan quite interested in this ancient organization.
After Yifeng passed away, Chu Xuan also took the time to look at the things Yifeng left behind.
It has to be said that the psychic system belongs to a completely different civilization system.
But it also has its own merits.
Especially those psychic devices that use psychic energy as their core energy source. Many of the fantastic ideas in them may just be commonplace to the psychics here.
But cultivators may not be able to conceive of it.
After all, for the vast majority of immortal cultivators, ancient is better and old is stronger.
Ancient and old, strong and stronger.
Those secret techniques, magic weapons and spiritual tools that have been passed down from the ancient golden age to the present day must be extremely powerful.
Why do we need to innovate and explore?
If the psychic equipment of the psychic world and the magic weapons of the immortal world can be organically combined, perhaps incredible and wonderful reactions will occur.
He had already handed this matter over to his Taixue clone.
I believe that it won't be long before the Taixue clone will give a good result.
He now wants to take a look at the Yuanding psychic battleship, and he also has a learning attitude.
The knowledge left by Yifeng did not include psychic battleships.
He wanted to see if he could learn something from the overall structure of the psychic battleship, its driving core, or its attack, defense and other modular units.
If you can learn it and even apply it to other situations and give back to others, you will make a lot of money.
If you don't learn anything, that's okay.
He was just offering a repair plan and had no intention of providing any material support.
Liu Changjiao was extremely excited when he heard this. "That's great! If you can help, we'd be very grateful!"
He had heard of the great name of the ancient order long ago.
It is said that almost all members of the ancient order are great scholars, who are particularly good at launching psionic spells and manufacturing and repairing psionic equipment.
Liu Changjiao immediately led Chu Xuan to various cabins.
Huo Qing led the surviving soldiers to clean up the dirt and grime inside the Yuan Ding.
A corpse tainted by dirty power is very likely to stand up again.
Those who died must be purified with psychic flames as soon as possible, otherwise they will never be able to find true peace.
Chu Xuan quickly walked all over the Yuan Ding.
He closed his eyes and a three-view image of the Lion-class battleship appeared in his mind.
Yuan Ding, one of the Lion-class battleships of the Yanhan Empire.
It is 5,800 meters long and is equipped with a Mad Lion Type 5 psychic engine and a Great Wall Type 1 psychic field shield.
The bow is covered with Xue alloy curved armor plates and equipped with 4 prism sword light spears. There are 20 prism light cannons on each side of the hull, and 5 deep space torpedo launchers in the belly.
The overall damage level is approximately 40%.
However, I always feel that these modules don't match well with each other.
It's like they were forced together.
What stands out is a disharmony.
Liu Changjiao saw Chu Xuan's frown and smiled awkwardly, "You saw it. The Yuan Ding has undergone several repairs, and its production capacity is limited, so we can only install modules from other ships."
"Once we even stole a few deep space torpedo launchers from a Chaos warship and installed them."
Chu Xuan pondered, "No wonder, the Yuan Ding has been harboring the power of turbidity from the very beginning. That's why you were surrounded by Chaos warships as soon as you appeared."
Liu Changjiao was stunned. "Huh?"
Chu Xuan pointed at the deep space torpedo launchers and said, "They have all been contaminated by the filth power."
"It's like having an extra signal source on your warship."
Liu Changjiao's face turned grim. "I understand."
Chu Xuan then explained his maintenance plan, and after making sure that Liu Changjiao had memorized it, he left.
"Go up! You haven't told us your name yet!" Liu Changjiao couldn't help but shout.
"Xuan." Chu Xuan left a word and soon disappeared.
"He can travel in the starry sky without relying on power armor... He must be a sea-level expert!" Huo Qing exclaimed.
Liu Changjiao nodded seriously, "This time it's all thanks to Xuan Shangwei, but we won't be so lucky every time."
"Hurry up and repair the ship and get in touch with other warships."
"Okay." Huo Qing nodded repeatedly.
"By the way...where are the three Chaos warships?" Liu Changjiao asked puzzledly.
Huo Qing also scratched his head, "Yeah...how come it disappeared out of thin air?"
Near the Aquamarine Star, above a lifeless and desolate planet.
Chu Xuan appears.
Three Chaos warships also appeared at the same time.
It must be said that these three Chaos warships are also very large, all over 5,000 meters.
In order to take them away, Chu Xuan used three Qiankun bags.
He carefully observed the three Chaos warships, and could vaguely see the mottled paint on the hulls through the flesh, corpses, blood vessels and bones.
That was the mark left by the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the launch of a new ship during the Yanhan Dynasty.
He murmured thoughtfully, "The Yanhan Empire and the Yanhan Celestial Dynasty are of the same lineage. They have established five levels of warships based on firepower, size, tonnage, and other data. They are Dragon Class, Lion Class, Tiger Class, Wolf Class, and the special Elephant Class."
"If I had to make an analogy, it would be like a battleship, a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser, a frigate, and a transport ship."
"But these three Chaos warships are only Tiger-class."
He shook his head. "Obviously, this empire built from the ruins of the Celestial Empire is still far from reaching the level of the Celestial Empire in the past."
The current Lion class is the same size as the previous Tiger class.
It is indeed no longer as glorious as it once was.
"Let me see, where are you?"
Chu Xuan flew around the three Chaos warships and soon found what he wanted in a hidden cabin.
A large mass of dark green dirty mud.
Its color is extremely dark, almost black.
It is obviously the source of all those filth.
Moreover, compared to those soulless sources of filth, this matrix obviously has low intelligence.
Now it became clear where the filth on Planet Aquamarine came from.
It is these Chaos warships that sailed out from the Great Galaxy and spread huge amounts of filth along the way.
These sources of filth will instinctively seek out planets with life.
But most of the pollution sources will die naturally on their way to finding a planet with life.
But as long as a part of the pollution source reaches the planet with life, the act of spreading the pollution source will be of great value.
Because a source of filth is very likely to cause all intelligent life on a planet to be transformed into zombies, providing more faith and power for the Chaos Gods.
"These three Chaos warships are of no use to me at the moment, but there's no need to destroy them. Let's leave them here for now."
Chu Xuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of Netherworld Fire fell on the three warships.
In just a moment, the violent purple-black flames burned wildly, enveloping all three warships.
In a short while, all the corpses and flesh on the surface of the warship were burned away.
Chu Xuan also set up a formation nearby to block detection.
In this way, the three warships were completely left on this desolate planet.
They cannot be detected by either naked eye observation or psychic detection.
A moment later, Chu Xuan returned to Planet Aquamarine.
He observed the Aquamarine Star's protective formation, lost in thought.
"It seems that the current Star Protection Formation still has some flaws. We must install a new formation to identify the source of the filth and isolate it."
"Besides that, we can't let the people of the Yanhan Empire detect us. No one can tell what their attitude is towards the origin star of the Yanhan Celestial Empire."
Chu Xuan thought about it again and again, and then asked Taixue's clone to come over and continue to set up the two-layer formation.
In this way, Planet Aquamarine can ensure complete safety.
Only then can he truly feel at ease.
…
Inside the Water Curtain Cave.
Henry Chu quickly made a plan for himself.
The first step is to refine the Dust-Transforming Pill and try to reach the third level of the Taiyin Falling Dragon Breathing Method.
He had been unable to cultivate the third level of this technique before because the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill was no longer effective and could not suppress the erosion of the Fallen Dragon Technique Seed on his mind.
But Huachen Dan is a pill for the out-of-body stage, so it is naturally enough.
The second is to try to combine psychic equipment with the art of refining equipment to complement each other's strengths and overcome their weaknesses.
This time he looked at the Yuanding battleship from inside to outside in great detail, and a design drawing had already formed in his mind.
I feel quite inspired.
But it's not clear.
It takes time to sort things out.
He also needs to distinguish what is the essence and what is the dregs.
Finally, it is the combination of spiritual equipment and the art of refining equipment.
Finally, he refined the Dragon Ginseng Yuandan to improve his own realm.
This is actually the simplest thing.
After thinking for a moment, he handed over the task of refining the Huachen Pill and Longshen Yuandan to his Taixue clone.
He calmed down and observed the advantages and disadvantages of psychic equipment and equipment refining methods.
As for the free demon body, he continued to practice the "Great Free Demon Sutra".
The Free Demon Body's understanding of this technique will also be fed back to the original body.
In this way, the main body will make rapid progress when practicing this method in the future.
"Fortunately I have two clones, otherwise I would be extremely busy."
Chu Xuan felt a little emotional and was very glad that he had refined the clone as quickly as possible.
And they are all top-level clones.
He suddenly remembered something and pondered, "But... I still lack a life-saving clone. It would be best if I could just take root on Planet Aquamarine and not come to the Immortal Cultivation World."
"If my original body and other clones are devastated, this life-saving clone will be the basis for my comeback."
"However, this type of clone is very rare, so we must pay close attention to it."
"Other out-of-body cultivators may not have this, but a seventh-level sect should have this foundation…"
He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, they will come to us in person sooner or later. For now, we should focus on improving ourselves."
Several years have passed since the Nether Mist Disaster, and the various sects have almost recovered.
It is also time to gather forces and restore oneself.
As someone who came from the Jiuyou Palace, the news that he had established the Xuanmiao Tianzong in the Dark Domain would definitely be reported back.
The people from Jiuyou Palace haven't arrived yet, and this attitude is quite interesting.
However, he was not in a hurry.
Since the other party didn't come, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative.
…
In the dark area, at the foot of Dayan Mountain.
An Mingrong and Shangguan Youlian stood side by side.
An Mingrong looked calm and relaxed.
Shangguan Youlian felt a little uneasy and nervous.
"Youlian, don't be nervous. He is the former elder of our Jiuyou Palace, not someone else." An Mingrong smiled.
Shangguan Youlian smiled bitterly, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to complete the task assigned by the ancestor, so I'm anxious."
An Mingrong uttered an "oh" and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Chu has always been loyal to the Jiuyou Palace. You are the most trusted disciple of the ancestor. If you come to invite him in person, he will definitely return."
Shangguan Youlian smiled bitterly, "I hope so..."
At this time, Gong Yue'e walked out from the mist and said respectfully, "Old Ancestor, please let the two True Lords in."
The two of them walked back and forth in the winding passage, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
The green mountains and green waters complement each other.
In the small pavilion beside the pond, the figure in black was holding a fishing rod and fishing quietly.
An Mingrong strode forward, "Fellow Daoist Chu, long time no see."
Henry Chu didn't even turn his head, but just casually said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Especially Fellow Daoist Shangguan."
Shangguan Youlian sighed secretly, walked quickly forward, and came to Chu Xuan's side.
She cupped her hands and said, "I heard earlier that Fellow Daoist Chu returned to the Dark Realm, drove one man away, and killed two others. He is truly unparalleled in his martial arts. Youlian admires him."
Chu Xuan pulled the fishing rod suddenly and caught a tiger trout.
"There's no need to admire me. I came to the Dark Realm alone, with no one to rely on. Fortunately, I still have some strength, otherwise I would be the one who died."
"This tiger trout is very delicious. I'll ask the sect's chef to make you a pot of fish soup later. Don't miss it."
An Mingrong smiled and said, "That's great! I didn't expect I could have a bowl of fish soup for free."
Shangguan Youlian paused and said nothing.
Chu Xuan continued to cast the rod, but did not speak, as if the two did not exist.
After a while, Shangguan Youlian couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I came here this time to follow the order of the ancestor..."
Chu Xuan then put away his club and looked at her, "Oh? What is the will of the Taoist Master? I am all ears."
Shangguan Youlian said in a deep voice, "Nine Nether Palace needs you, Fellow Daoist Chu, please come back."
Chu Xuan shook his head, "Fellow Daoist An has returned to Jiuyou Palace, and Jiuyou Palace does not have enough resources to support more out-of-body experiences."
"What's the point of me going back?"
Shangguan Youlian immediately said, "You are very powerful! The sect needs strong people like you!"
Chu Xuan still shook his head.
It's good for him to stay here.
But Shangguan Youlian still tried to persuade him many times.
Henry Chu shook his head and said calmly, "I won't say any more nonsense. If Jiuyou Palace can provide the clone refining method I need, I can go back."
Shangguan Youlian's eyes lit up, "Fellow Daoist Chu, please speak."
Henry Chu said calmly, "The life-saving clone has a long lifespan and strong defense, and will not die easily."
Shangguan Youlian thought for a moment and then revealed three methods of refining clones, all of which were secret methods possessed by the Jiuyou Palace.
Henry Chu shook his head repeatedly, "I know everything you said, it's not good enough."
"The first requires extremely rare natural treasures; the second takes a very long time to refine and requires a sufficient number of Yuan Shen (spiritual essences); the third is well-balanced in all aspects, but also mediocre."
"Excuse me for being blunt, but the Jiuyou Palace can't produce anything that can move my heart."
An Mingrong always had a faint smile on her face, as if she had guessed this would happen.
Seeing that her persuasion was fruitless, Shangguan Youlian could only give a wry smile and settle for the next best thing. "Well, then, if Fellow Daoist Chu doesn't want to return to the Nine Nether Palace, then at least don't join another sect, okay?"
"Or, can Xuanmiao Tianzong reach some degree of cooperation with Jiuyou Palace?"
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "Of course we can cooperate."
"But before you, there were already cultivators from the Tianfu Fazong who came to visit us, and they also offered generous conditions."
"Since it's a collaboration, I will naturally choose the party with the best conditions."
"Of course, I will also take into account the past relationship between Jiuyou Palace and me."
Shangguan Youlian was suddenly embarrassed.
She thought for a long time and came up with the conditions, "First, the Jiuyou Palace and the Xuanmiao Tianzong form an alliance and share intelligence."
"Second, if the Xuanmiao Tianzong is attacked, the Jiuyou Palace has the obligation to provide reinforcements."
"Third, if the Jiuyou Palace is attacked, Xuanmiao Tianzong will provide reinforcements as appropriate. If we are unable to do so, we do not need to send reinforcements."
"Fourth, trade taxes between the two sides shall be negotiated jointly and shall not be raised or lowered privately without reason."
"Fifth, priority will be given to the supply of specialty resources."
"six,..."
After listening to this, Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
It seems that Shangguan Youlian had already considered the possibility of not being able to persuade him to return before coming.
The conditions for the alliance had already been drawn up.
These conditions are not harsh.
Some of them were obviously concessions made by Jiuyou Palace.
"I agree." Chu Xuan nodded.
Shangguan Youlian also stood up and said, "Okay, from now on we are allies."
"I hope Fellow Daoist Chu can abide by the covenant."
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "As long as Jiuyou Palace doesn't break the covenant first, I won't break it either."
Shangguan Youlian said nothing more and turned to leave.
She felt a little emotional.
Back then, Chu Xuan and she were cultivators of the same level.
Moreover, she is a leader among the Divine Transformation cultivators and is often ranked in the top three on the Divine Transformation Ranking.
Chu Xuan is still just a rising star.
Yet now, only a few decades have passed.
Chu Xuan has become a True Lord who has reached the state of leaving the body, and has an impressive record of shouting one person away and killing two people.
But she doesn't have any outstanding achievements.
The two men's strength and reputation have long been clearly distinguished.
Seeing Shangguan Youlian leave, An Mingrong smiled faintly, "You really won't return to Jiuyou Palace."
Chu Xuan smiled but said nothing.
An Mingrong said in a deep voice, "I want five bottles of Dachendidan."
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Your cultivation speed is quite fast. You have already cultivated the Nether Mist Technique to the fourth level."
An Mingrong was slightly surprised, but she didn't show it on the surface. "What level I reach in my cultivation has nothing to do with you. Even if I fall from grace one day, it won't implicate you."
"I'll give you the Great Spirit Stone, and you'll give me the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill. It's that simple."
Henry Chu's face was calm as he casually threw the thing over.
After the deal was done, An Mingrong quickly turned around and left.
Henry Chu smiled and said, "Don't you want to drink fish soup?"
An Mingrong sneered, "I don't dare drink your fish soup."
She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that a stronghold in the Taiyin Tower was uprooted and even a Lianxu Fallen Cultivator was killed. Is this related to you?"
Henry Chu shook his head. "It's related to me? You overestimate me. I'm just a little out-of-body, how can I deal with Lianxu Daojun?"
An Mingrong looked at Henry Chu deeply, then turned around and disappeared.
Henry Chu's expression remained the same, showing no expression.
A long time after the two left, a slender figure wrapped in black tights came to Chu Xuan and made tea for him.
"What did you see?" Chu Xuan asked casually.
Chu Yunque said respectfully, "She has cultivated the Dark Mist Technique to the fourth level. She has also cultivated the Other Shore Technique, but only the first level."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
Ever since Yun Que escaped death last time, his realm has not regressed but advanced, especially his comprehension of the Dark Mist Technique, which has reached the sixth level, and he has also learned new secret techniques.
To put it bluntly, she possesses overwhelming combat power among all the Divine Transformation cultivators.
Of course, the prerequisite is that his identity as a fallen cultivator is not discovered by outsiders and he can leave safely.
"Do you want to use the Beyonder's Law to suppress the Dark Mist Law?"
Henry Chu smiled faintly, "It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it's just driving the tiger to eat the wolf, and we don't know who is the tiger and who is the wolf."
Chu Yunque nodded respectfully, obviously agreeing with his master's words.
Chu Xuan looked her up and down several times and found that she was full of energy and seemed to have made some progress.
