Zizai frowned.
The Dragon-Falling Technique Seed is so important, how can it be given to others easily?
What's more, it took so much time and effort for the original body to cultivate the "Taiyin Fallen Dragon Breathing Method" to the third level, and it took so much elixirs.
The other party asked for it as soon as they disagreed.
Obviously, they didn't take him seriously.
Instead, they treated him as an object that they could do whatever they wanted.
"Judging from your expression, it's obvious that you don't intend to give it to me." Luanxing smiled faintly.
"Since you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
As soon as the words fell, a gleam of light burst out from the horse's eyes, and endless illusions swarmed in.
Immediately afterwards, Luanxing let out a low roar, and his spiritual consciousness condensed into a pair of large hands, which suddenly slapped from the left and right.
He was the Heavenly Lord of Hedao in the past, but now he has experienced many changes in the world and his spirit has been severely worn out.
But it is enough to suppress a person who has reached the state of out-of-body.
At least that's what he thought.
What's more, what's in front of him is just an out-of-body clone, whose strength is far inferior to Chu Xuan's original body.
Suppressing it and taking away the Dragon-Falling Seed is easy.
He was afraid of the Wanxing Immortal Palace behind Chu Xuan, but he also knew that as long as Chu Xuan's life was safe, the Wanxing Immortal Palace would not take action.
There is no reason not to take this Dragon-Falling Technique Seed that is right in front of me.
However, he obviously underestimated Chu Xuan and Chu Xuan's clone.
You must know that Chu Xuan has never been a righteous, evil, or fallen person.
What he has been cultivating has always been the path of merit and virtue!
Merit is something that cannot be seen or touched.
It's hard to believe it really exists.
But one thing is certain.
Merit is not limited to the original body or the incarnation.
Even if the clone gains merit, it will eventually be fed back to the whole body.
It's everywhere.
Therefore, even if Chu Xuan's original body and clone are in two different star fields.
But as long as the clone is willing, he can borrow the merits at any time.
Seeing that Luanxing's attack was about to hit him, Zizai reached out and slapped the Qiankun bag, and a wooden fish suddenly appeared in his hand.
This wooden fish looks ordinary, as if it is made of ordinary spiritual wood.
Luanxing took a glance and felt frightened.
"rise!"
Zizai let out a low growl and slammed the wooden fish.
With a buzzing sound, a layer of golden protective shield suddenly rose up and enveloped him.
On the surface of the shield, golden scriptures flowed and the sound of Sanskrit rose.
A six-layered golden wheel of merit suddenly appeared behind Zizai's mind.
These six layers of the golden wheel of merit rotate slowly, making him look like a god or a saint!
when!
All kinds of illusions and spiritual hands attacked at the same time, but they were easily blocked by the golden shield.
"Sixth level of merit?!"
Luanxing was dumbfounded.
It's not like he hasn't seen merits of this level before.
On the eternal battlefield, almost every cultivator guarding it has merits.
Almost all Hedao Tianjun have six layers of golden wheels of merit.
Some are even higher.
Some powerful and talented Void-refining cultivators may be able to forcibly fight their way to the sixth level of merit in the Eternal Battlefield.
But basically, they all have to be at the Lianxu level or above.
How can a mere out-of-body experience, who has never been to the eternal battlefield, cultivate the sixth level of the Golden Wheel of Merit?
Luanxing groaned.
Blood suddenly spurted out of the mouth of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse.
This is the backlash caused by the failure of the secret method of spiritual consciousness to work.
"broken!"
Luanxing cursed inwardly.
The soul of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse has been suppressed by him.
But the backlash just now caused his soul to be shaken.
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse immediately seized the opportunity and resisted fiercely.
Originally he could still control one and a half heads.
Now it is very difficult to even control half of it.
"Get out!"
An angry roar came from the dying head of the two-headed colorful-scaled horse.
The next moment, a deep blue soul was forcibly squeezed out of the body of the double-headed colorful-scaled horse!
Upon seeing this, Zizai immediately activated his secret spiritual power, gathered his big hands, and attacked fiercely.
Luanxing's soul dodged quickly, looking very embarrassed.
In the end, he could only look at Zizai deeply and said, "One day, I will take away the Fallen Dragon Seed. It doesn't belong to you."
He flew away and disappeared.
The six-layered golden wheel of merit that appeared behind Zizai's head just now obviously scared the blood baby and it ran away from it.
Now seeing that Luanxing's soul had escaped, Zizai took back the Golden Wheel of Merit and then came over.
He looked at the ground and laughed broadly, "Old Ma! I never thought you would have this day!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, the way you beg for help is really funny."
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse rolled its eyes and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
After a while, he looked at Zizai and said, "Trialist, thank you for your help."
Zizai bowed and said, "It's just a small favor."
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse continued, "As agreed, I will hand over the old master's top-grade spiritual treasure and inheritance to you."
He smiled comfortably, "Thank you, I want two more things."
"What?" The two-headed colorful-scaled horse was stunned.
"Those two mountains." Zizai smiled.
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse frowned deeply, "No! Although you have passed the trial, you are not yet qualified to obtain them."
The blood baby laughed, "Old Ma, Old Ma, you may not understand the current situation yet."
"You are now nearly dead, and you can't protect those two treasures at all."
"Old Ma, you don't want to die here, do you?"
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse's expression suddenly turned ugly. It looked at the blood infant and said angrily, "You are obviously the guardian left here by the old master. Why are you speaking for the trial-taker?!"
Xueying shrugged and said with a mature air, "I have decided to leave the Trial Cave with him."
"After all, he took away the Blood Demon Cave and the Sea of Blood."
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse was stunned and dumbfounded.
Xueying continued, "I advise you not to be stubborn. This trial cave has had countless trialists come and go. According to the rules set by Soul Heavenly Monarch, no one is qualified to take those two treasures."
"As long as the Trial Cave exists, we will be prisoners for one more day."
"It would be better to find someone to give him the treasure as soon as possible, and then we can go out and have some fun."
"I grew up in the Trial Cave, so I have no idea what the outside world is like, but I can guess how colorful it is."
"Old Ma, you have followed Lord Hun Tian in battle for tens of thousands of years, so you must know more than me."
The Blood Infant approached the two-headed colorful-scaled horse and said with a strange smile, "Look at me and tell me, have you ever thought of leaving the Trial Cave?"
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse immediately fell silent.
After a while, it said, "You are right. I have fulfilled my duties for many years. It is time for this to end."
"I will give you everything the old master left behind."
Zizai smiled and said, "No, I don't want that top-grade spiritual treasure. Give me the rest."
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse was stunned, unable to believe his ears. "No? I think you are just an out-of-body cultivator."
Zizai nodded again, "Yes, no."
He made this decision with sufficient consideration.
You should know that there are five Lianxu Zhenjun waiting outside the cave for a long time.
There are also four of their clones in the cave.
After going out, the news of the top-grade spiritual treasure and the inheritance of Lord Hun Tianjun will certainly not be hidden.
At times like this, choices must be made.
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse looked at Zizai deeply.
Only then did he pull out the scales from his heart.
At first glance, this scale looks like any other.
The north side is made of black jade.
"This contains the legacy of the old master. There are many things in it. You can take your time to look at them when you go back."
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse roared again and forced two hills out from between the two horse heads.
On the hill on the left, there are gusts of cold wind and ghosts wandering around.
The hill on the right is piled with bones and beasts are rampant.
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse sighed, "These are the Netherworld Mountain and the White Bone Mountain. They are both treasures of the demonic path. When I followed my old master, I saw him use these two treasures to slay countless enemies."
Zizai nodded knowingly, stretched out his hands and took the two treasures.
But they whooshed and went straight into Zizai's body.
After looking inward, he discovered that the two treasures had instinctively appeared in the Dantian ocean and were rapidly absorbing spiritual power.
It's like a hungry man who hasn't tasted meat for three years suddenly smells the aroma of meat and pounces on it like a hungry tiger.
"It's good at sucking."
Zizai's expression changed slightly, and he immediately swallowed a few pills to restore his spiritual power.
Otherwise, at this rate of absorption, all his spiritual power at the out-of-body stage would be completely sucked away in less than half a day.
Rumble...
At this moment, the cave suddenly shook violently.
Walls crumbled and rocks crumbled.
It seemed like collapse was imminent.
"The inheritance is gone, the treasure is gone, this cave has no meaning anymore."
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse seemed to have aged a lot at this moment.
Xueying was shocked and said, "Old Ma, what do you want to do? Wait until we get out!"
The two-headed colorful-scaled horse waved his hand and said, "You guys go, take the old turtle and the others with you, don't stay here."
"I've lived here for countless years. I don't know where to go if I leave here. I might as well just go with it and perish."
It stroked the cracked wall of the palace with a smile on its face.
Xueying grabbed Zizai and ran away, "Run! Old Ma is crazy!"
Zizai took one last look at the two-headed colorful-scaled horse, used the technique of stepping on wind and thunder, and returned the same way as he had come at the fastest speed.
The top-grade spiritual treasure soared into the sky, reflecting the bright light.
At the same time, the other cultivators who rushed here also discovered the cracks in the cave and saw the precious light rising into the sky.
They were shocked and confused.
Some people hesitated for a few breaths and chose to retreat.
Some people gritted their teeth and continued to rush towards the huge palace.
Shang Xingchen gave a bitter laugh, "It seems someone else got there first."
Liu Dao frowned, "What should we do then?"
Shang Xingchen seemed to be thinking about something, "Leave first, and then go find Henry Chu after things are over."
The two of them immediately turned around and flew away.
Although the treasure is important, you still need a life to get it.
In other words, as long as you keep your life, you will have all kinds of treasures in the future.
…
Outside the cave.
The five Lianxu Daojuns did not leave at all, and were all sitting cross-legged and dozing nearby.
There were many monks further away watching, trying to see if there was any opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.
These days, there are monks coming and going every day, and almost all of them have such little thoughts.
"Hey, did you hear that? There seemed to be some cracking sounds just now." A monk was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.
"You must have heard wrong."
"No, I heard it too. It seems to be coming from the cave gate." The cultivator next to him also looked solemn.
Many cultivators turned their eyes towards the cave gate.
The five Lianxu Daojuns were the first to notice the abnormality of the gate.
"There is a crack on the cave gate. This cave is about to collapse." Taoist Qingxie looked solemn.
Yaoguang Daojun frowned deeply, "My clone is still inside."
"We can only wait." Lord Mingdao sighed.
The original body and the clone are both independent individuals.
Unless they practiced unique secret techniques, they would not know what the other was doing.
They had no idea what was happening inside the cave.
You have to wait until the clone comes out to find out.
Click, click!
There are more and more cracks on the surface of the cave gate.
In the end, there were even large pieces of shattered pieces.
The dark energy surged outward into the sky.
The monks were horrified and began to hide away.
Those monks of lower realms who were unable to dodge were immediately trapped in the yin energy.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he became a dried corpse.
His soul has been taken away by the evil spirit and turned into a ghost.
However, there were also many demonic monks from the Shura Star Region who were not surprised but happy to see this.
They all activated their respective spiritual weapons and began to plunder this extremely pure Yin Qi.
Growing up in the fiercely competitive Shura Star Region, they had already learned a rule.
If you want to survive in troubled times, you must do everything you can to gain benefits!
This is also what most demonic monks do.
boom!
In the midst of this gloomy aura, a ray of shining light broke through the coldness, like the dawn breaking through the darkness, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"That is..." Taoist Master Shendu was stunned and looked at the object shrouded in golden light.
It was a plain cloth bag.
The surface is shining with precious light and filled with spiritual light.
It was obvious at first glance that it was very different from the fake spiritual treasures in their hands.
"Spiritual treasure!" Yaoguang Daojun was overjoyed.
"It looks like this is no ordinary spiritual treasure." Lord Mingdao looked deep.
The five people looked at each other and rushed towards the spiritual light at the same time.
Boom boom boom!
In mid-air, five kinds of magical lights intertwined.
The aftermath of the Dao Lords' fight spread out, shattering the nearby star fragments even further.
The cultivators below the level of Lianxu all hid away, fearing that they would be affected.
It was also at this moment that the first figure suddenly rushed out of the cave gate.
It is freedom.
There was also a bloody baby boy beside him.
"Wow! This is just outside the cave!"
"Wow! So many living people! Can we eat them?"
The blood baby stared at the monks in the distance, marveling at them.
Zizai said calmly, "Before eating, you have to see if you can bear the consequences of eating."
"Once you are exposed, I'm afraid many people will rush to enslave you."
The blood baby's face suddenly frowned, "Okay, I'll hide for a while."
"However, you promised to give me some of the Styx Blood Cloud. You must keep your word."
Zizai nodded, "Of course, let's go first."
He stepped into the air and headed straight for the dark area.
All the monks discovered him.
"Who is that person? How dare he come out first? Maybe he got a lot of treasures!"
"You don't even know him? Chu Xuan! The ancestor of the Xuanmiao Tian Sect, the number one person below the level of perfecting the Out-of-Body Realm!"
"If it's someone else who comes out, I can still make some plans, but if it's Henry Chu... forget it, put away your little plans."
Many cultivators have witnessed Chu Xuan taking action.
Now he told the story in detail, which frightened the other monks.
As a result, no one dared to stop Zizai and they could only let him leave.
Dark Domain, Dayan Mountain.
Chu Xuan walked out of the cave after stepping into the fog with ease.
Blood Baby asked curiously, "Hey, you two look exactly the same, twins?"
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "It seems that you have had many adventures in the Tianjun Cave Mansion."
The Devil Body of Freedom also laughed, "There are more than a few adventures."
A moment later, after listening to the description of the Free Demon Body, Chu Xuan's brows raised with joy.
Unexpectedly, there is not only Netherworld Mountain but also White Bone Mountain in Lord Hun Tian's cave!
Shang Xingchen really had another trick up his sleeve.
"You go and rest first, I'm here." Chu Xuan chuckled.
"good."
He returned to the cave to rest freely.
Xueying and Chu Xuan stared at each other, "You are the real one, and he is just a clone?"
Henry Chu smiled, "What? Some surprise?"
Blood Infant shook his head, then nodded, "It was quite unexpected."
"His name is Zizai, right? He's already very strong, but he's only his true form."
"You must be stronger."
"Hey, I don't care which one of you is stronger, but you can't go back on your word as he promised me before."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "Neither I nor my clone will make promises easily."
"I will fulfill the promises I made to myself."
He waved his hand, and the Blood Demon Pot appeared beside him, spewing out a large cloud of Styx blood.
"The blood cloud of the Styx has indeed grown several times larger. It seems that it has really refined the entire blood sea."
The blood baby's eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of Styx blood cloud and fed it into his mouth.
It's like eating popcorn.
"Delicious, delicious! So delicious!"
"No wonder he's so fierce!" The blood baby's eyes lit up.
It's like eating a child who loves delicious food.
"If you like to eat, you can stay here and continue eating," Chu Xuan smiled slightly, "As long as you are willing to work for me, the Styx Blood Cloud will make sure you are full."
The blood baby stopped talking immediately.
It saw Chu Xuan's half-smile.
"Are you going to take me in?" Xueying asked warily.
Henry Chu waved his hand, "No, it's just an equal transaction."
"You work for me, and I'll give you the Styx Blood Cloud. It's that simple."
"If you don't want to, take these Styx Blood Clouds and leave."
After saying that, he stopped trying to persuade her, but calmed down to organize the various spiritual objects that the free demon body brought out from the cave of Soul Tianjun.
All the spiritual objects alone could fill up a new Qiankun bag.
It is hard to imagine what the situation would be like if all these spiritual creatures were transformed into combat power.
Here, the blood baby had already finished eating the blood clouds of the Styx, and his face was still full of an unsatisfied look.
It rubbed its hands together and couldn't help asking, "Can you give me some more?"
Chu Xuan didn't even raise his head, just shook his head, "No reward without merit."
The blood baby gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll follow you and help you do things!"
"Just so you know, I have a big appetite!"
Henry Chu smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
"Do you need me to give you a name?"
The blood baby raised his little face and said, "I have a name, my name is Bai Gu."
Henry Chu gave a thumbs up, "Good name!"
The reason why he wanted to win this guy over was precisely because he was very powerful.
At first glance, they all seem to be in the late out-of-body stage.
If Zizai hadn't brought the Blood Demon Pot with him, there would have been blood clouds from the Styx inside the Blood Demon Pot.
I'm afraid he is no match for Bai Gu at all.
Moreover, the white bones are blood corpses.
The blood corpse is a very unique kind of Yin corpse. It has no bones or muscles in its body, only dried blood.
Therefore, it can dissolve into blood at any time, and can also condense into a Yin corpse at any time.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a fatal weakness.
In addition, it can recover quickly by absorbing blood.
In general, the key is persistence and recovery.
Of course, with so many advantages, there are naturally disadvantages.
In a head-on combat situation, Blood Corpses are no match for most Yin Corpses.
For example, the dragon, tiger and leopard under Chu Xuan's command can suppress the blood corpse if their realm is the same as that of the blood corpse.
Henry Chu didn't think this was a losing business.
Instead, I made a lot of money.
Now there will be another powerful fighter.
But for now, we still need to take a quick look at what we have on hand.
He returned to the cave, and with a thought, two small hills appeared in front of him.
He has tried various methods.
But it was still impossible to establish contact with the Nether Mountain.
On the contrary, it was White Bone Mountain that easily established contact and left its own mark.
He probed his spiritual sense into it and immediately felt a huge space.
There are a lot of skeletons among them.
There are both human cultivators and monster skeletons.
But they are just skeletons, there is no bone demon.
Obviously, too much time has passed and all the bone demons bred by the White Bone Mountain have died.
If there is no external spiritual energy injection, it will always remain lifeless.
Henry Chu felt a little regretful.
It seems that Nether Mountain is indeed not something he is destined to possess.
However, it still has value and can be used for trading.
…
More than ten days later.
Ling Xueying brought news.
The top-grade spiritual treasure in the shape of a cloth bag was finally obtained by the Taoist Master Shenfu.
However, the Taoist Master Shenfu also paid a heavy price.
His clone with the strength of refining emptiness died in the battle.
The other four Dao Lords were not feeling well either.
The Taoist Master Shenfu killed the clones of the Taoist Master Ming and the Taoist Master Yaoguang, plundered their Qiankun bags, and was slightly injured himself.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Taoist Qingxie withdrew in time and actually preserved some of his strength.
The cave of Lord Hun Tianjun has become a ruin.
Many corpses, ghosts and monsters ran out.
Most of them are very powerful.
If we can recruit him, we will gain a lot of combat power.
Moreover, the area filled with the rising yin energy has almost become a piece of acquired yin land.
It is very suitable for the cultivation of magic monks.
Many demonic monks from the Shura star region have gathered near the ruins of the cave.
They are even fighting for territory.
It's quite chaotic.
Amidst this chaotic situation, Chu Xuan was quite relaxed.
Practicing and drinking tea every day makes me happy.
This day.
The expected person finally showed up.
"Friend Chu, long time no see." Shang Xingchen came to the pavilion by the pond with a smile.
Chu Xuan had already prepared tea for him. "Friend Shang, your true form and your clone entered the Heavenly Monarch's Cave Residence together. You must have gotten a lot of goodies, right?"
Shang Xingchen shook his head. "It's just a trivial matter, not worthy of being mentioned in public. It's not as good as what Fellow Daoist Chu's clone got."
Henry Chu was surprised, "Really? Why didn't I know?"
Shang Xingchen chuckled, "There's no need for us to engage in charades."
"What I said before still stands. I only want Nether Mountain."
"I believe you have already discovered that you cannot activate the Netherworld Mountain."
Chu Xuan smiled without saying anything and continued to sip his tea.
Shang Xingchen directly took out a jade bottle.
As soon as this jade bottle appeared, it exuded a biting chill.
Shang Xingchen smiled, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chu has heard of the Frost Cicada."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He remembered the Wanxing Immortal Palace classics that Dan Jieli had brought him before.
This name was mentioned in it.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly. "The Frost Cicada can freely shuttle through the void. It loves the Great Way of Ice the most. Ice crystals are hidden under its elytra. That is the condensation of the Great Way of Ice."
Shang Xingchen clapped his hands lightly, "Inside this is the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal, which contains the aura of the Great Way of Ice."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and became interested.
The poisonous insect, the Frost Cicada, is only the size of a palm and is extremely agile.
And it can easily travel through the void.
Even if the Taoist Master Lianxu, who is proficient in the art of escape, takes action, there is no guarantee that there is a 100% chance of capturing him alive.
What means did Shang Xingchen use to catch the Frost Cicada?
Facing Henry Chu's curious eyes, Shang Xingchen just chuckled, "It was just luck."
"Fellow Daoist Chu knows that I survived the ancient underworld river and managed to crawl out, but I managed to find quite a few things just by casually scooping things up in the river."
"Among them is a dormant Arctic Cicada."
"It's already in my possession. I don't have any use for this Extreme Frost Ice Crystal, so I'll trade it with you."
"I know that Fellow Daoist Chu bought the Ancient Styx Water from me before in order to gain enlightenment in advance."
Chu Xuan smiled but said nothing.
Shang Xingchen is a smart man, so he was not surprised that he could guess his intention.
He casually waved his hand, and the Netherworld Mountain appeared in the palm of his hand.
"It's a pleasure working with you." He pushed Nether Mountain over and said with a smile.
Shang Xingchen also smiled and pushed the jade bottle over.
Both of them were very happy.
The two of them brewed tea and chatted for a while.
Shang Xingchen then said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I am leaving now, and I am here to say goodbye to you."
"Where are you going?" Chu Xuan wondered.
"Ashura Star Region." Shang Xingchen said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Why?" Chu Xuan became interested.
Shang Xingchen smiled bitterly, "There's a problem with my body. I'm afraid only the big guys in the Shura Killing Realm can solve it."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
Shang Xingchen pondered for a few breaths, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you and I are both friends and rivals. Now that I'm leaving soon, there's no need to hide it from you."
"My body has long since perished in the ancient Styx. What you see now is a new body."
"But it wasn't a possession, but was reshaped by the Ancient Underworld River by chance."
Henry Chu was surprised, "Reshape?"
Shang Xingchen shook his head, "I don't know why this happened."
Chu Xuan was greatly surprised. He looked Shang Xingchen up and down and felt as if he had gotten to know this person all over again.
He had previously felt that Shang Xingchen's body was not original.
But he never expected that it would be reshaped by the ancient Styx?
Thinking about it this way, it could explain his previous doubts.
Shang Xingchen was clearly just an out-of-body state, yet he was able to crawl out of the ancient Styx alive.
It now seems that there may be some kind of connection between Shang Xingchen and the ancient Styx that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
Chu Xuan drank a mouthful of bitter hair peak and smiled, "The Shura Killing Realm is full of demons. Aren't you afraid that your body will be taken away if you go there?"
Shang Xingchen said solemnly, "Now that I have made my decision, I have made all the necessary preparations."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding and raised his teacup. "Okay, as old friends from the same cultivation world, I wish you a safe journey."
Shang Xingchen smiled, raised his teacup as well, and clinked glasses together.
After taking a sip of tea, he shook his head and said, "I say, there's no need to poison me before leaving, right?"
Henry Chu smiled, "My poison path has been poor recently, so I just happened to research a new poison. Let me show you its power first."
Shang Xingchen burst out laughing.
A moment later, Chu Xuan hovered above the Dark Domain and watched Shang Xingchen leave on a tower ship.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
As Shang Xingchen said, they are friends and rivals.
Most of the time they scheme against each other.
But he is also someone who can really talk to you from the heart.
He pondered for a few breaths and sighed softly, "Life truly is like the gathering and separation of duckweed, and the ups and downs of the world are like the flow of water."
He shook his head and turned back to Dayan Mountain.
The path of immortality is lonely, so it is better not to add too many unnecessary emotions.
…
After the collapse of Hun Tianjun's cave, an area of dense yin energy formed within 100,000 miles of the original location.
Many demonic monks gathered here.
As a result, many conflicts broke out.
In addition, there were also many corpses, ghosts, and monsters running out of the cave.
They are all very powerful.
It also aroused the interest of many monks.
As long as you can catch one or two and raise them for your own use, your own strength will be greatly improved.
There are also people who are testing the whereabouts of the gatekeepers in ordinary caves, such as the Six-Armed Ghost King and the Bad-Breathing Old Turtle.
But they all disappeared without a trace.
Perhaps, just like the two-headed colorful-scaled horse, he is tired of his duties and just wants to find a rare piece of pure land to have a good rest.
As for those Lianxu Daojuns, although Shenfu Daojun obtained the top-grade spiritual treasure and could be called the biggest winner, he was not feeling well either.
Several others also suffered injuries of varying degrees and had to rest and recuperate.
If one cannot achieve the state of Lianxu, the strongest one will be able to achieve the state of leaving the body.
Among the out-of-body cultivators in the nearby star fields, Chu Xuan can be said to be the best.
Therefore, although there were constant disturbances in the outside world, no one dared to come to the Dark Realm to cause trouble, and no one dared to provoke the Xuanmiao Tianzong.
Chu Xuan was also happy to have some free time.
He is now busy comprehending the inheritance of Lord Hun Tianjun every day and is having a lot of fun.
…
Water Curtain Cave on the Aquamarine Star.
Chu Xuan put away the scale and let out a breath.
These days, he has been feeling the inheritance almost every day.
But each time I can't comprehend for too long and have to stop.
The amount of information left by a Heavenly Lord is truly astonishing.
Long-term contemplation will only damage your own spirit.
But I have to say that Hun Tianjun is really an honest person.
The inheritance he left behind was explained clearly in every detail.
From refining Qi, building foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, transformation of spirit, out-of-body experience, refining emptiness, to the stage of He Dao, Lord Hun Tian recorded all his insights.
All kinds of detours, forks and wrong roads are also recorded in it.
Make sure that the successor will not repeat his mistakes.
"If I had received the inheritance of Soul Heavenly Monarch when I was still a young Qi Refiner, I would have been able to enter the Out-of-Body Realm a hundred or two hundred years earlier than now."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
It can be seen from this that as long as one's aptitude is not too bad, if one has a strong and powerful person to guide one's practice, one's realm will surely improve rapidly.
"The insights I gained from these realms are no longer useful to me."
"The cultivation and comprehension of Out-of-Body Realization, Refining Void Realization, and Combining with the Dao are the most important things."
"Especially a self-created clone like Hun Tianjun, who is really good at comprehending the great Dao!"
Chu Xuan was amazed.
Lord Hun Tianjun left behind a method of refining an avatar called "Dongxu Clone" in his inheritance.
The word "Dongxu" is taken from the level of Lianxu.
From the inheritance of Soul Tianjun, Chu Xuan has already learned that the Refining Void Stage is actually divided into three levels: Cave Void, Transformation Void, and Return to Void.
Dongxu corresponds to the middle stage of Lianxu, which means insight into the void.
Huaxu corresponds to the late stage of Lianxu, which means to transform into the void.
Return to the Void corresponds to the perfection of refining the void, which means returning from the void, which is the great achievement.
As for the initial stage of refining emptiness, it is just the initial stage of refining emptiness, and there is no other special name.
Of course, although the Dongxu clone is named after these two words, it does not have the strength of the middle stage of Lianxu.
But this clone can use his out-of-body cultivation to begin to comprehend the void in advance!
"Refining this Dongxu clone is urgent."
"However, the materials required are a bit demanding..."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
The auxiliary materials needed for the Dongxu clone are not difficult to find.
The only thing is that the main material must be creatures that can move freely in the void.
Henry Chu frowned in thought.
After a while, I could only think of a few names.
Blue Sky Dragonfly, Escape Shadow, Powerful Immortal Longicorn...
The coldest cicada is one of them.
However, these creatures are extremely difficult to find.
They can easily escape into the void, and once they sense danger, they will run away in an instant. How could they be easily captured?
Even if he could be captured, that would be the method of the Taoist Master Lianxu, and it would be impossible for a cultivator who had reached the out-of-body state to capture him.
Chu Xuan sighed lightly, and still instructed Ling Xueying and others to keep an eye on these creatures.
Although there is little hope, we must act.
Otherwise you won't even know you missed it.
"I have nothing to do, so I'll take a look at what big things are happening in the psychic world."
Chu Xuan's mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness connected with the Mirror of the Heavens.
He nodded slightly. "The situation on Aquamarine Planet is stable. As I expected, they've already started flying out of Aquamarine Planet on their psychic spaceships to explore the universe. However, they've been circling around in the formation..."
Once a life planet in the psychic world is exposed, it is very likely to be eroded by the power of chaos.
He set up the formation to protect these people from the Aquamarine Star.
Before you become strong enough, if you touch things you shouldn't touch without permission, the consequences will most likely be tragic.
"Soul Star, Cave World, and Giant Star are all in normal condition."
"Spirit Wind Star... so many prayers?"
Chu Xuan looked at the planet where the Lingfeng clan of the Bianhuang tribe lived, and raised his eyebrows.
There are too many trivial matters in the world of immortal cultivation, and he has ignored the Lingfeng clan for a long time.
The prayers of the Lingfeng clan gathered in this fragment of the Mirror of the Heavens in a strange form.
As soon as he cast his gaze over, a soul approached him.
Transfer all the information of these years at once.
This soul is Ling Fenglian, the high priest of the Ling Feng clan many years ago.
He is also the "demigod" that is the result of the Emerald King's plan to create gods.
But now she has turned into a group of ownerless souls, and in a strange way has become the spirit of this fragment of the Mirror of the Heavens, and can mobilize some of the abilities of the fragment of the Mirror of the Heavens.
The information transmitted by Lingfenglian includes the major and minor events that have occurred on Lingfeng Star in recent years, as well as the content of every prayer of the Lingfeng clan.
If it were an ordinary person, their brain would probably be overwhelmed by such a huge amount of information in an instant.
"The information is too mixed."
Chu Xuan swept his spiritual sense around and shook his head repeatedly.
Mixing trivial matters with important matters will greatly affect the speed of information processing.
He looked at the very quiet Ling Fenglian, as if thinking about something.
Ling Fenglian's consciousness has dissipated, and now all that remains is a ball of ownerless consciousness.
It's like a blank sheet of paper.
Doesn't it mean that she will become like how you copy her?
In that case...
Henry Chu said casually, "From now on, your name will be Lian."
"yes."
"Now, sort this information by importance and urgency and retransmit it to me."
"yes."
It turns out that the soul of a demigod is indeed powerful enough.
It's easy to accomplish these little things.
Within a second, all information was divided into neat and orderly groups.
Chu Xuan immediately looked at the most important information.
"The Clan's fourth division was on routine patrol when they encountered a Chaos warship. After a grappling battle, they escaped the pursuit, losing two psychic warriors..."
"The Sixth Squadron lost contact while searching for the remains of the Emerald King's Court, and there has been no news since..."
"The Third Brigade went out to trade supplies with the Cuiye Clan and learned that the Yanhan Empire's Dingbei Fleet had once again dispatched, annihilating Changping Province, Heluo Province, and Taichang Province in one fell swoop..."
Information flashed before his eyes, making him marvel at it.
It can be seen from the changes in recent years that the Lingfeng clan has made great progress.
It is precisely because of the inheritance seed that the Lingfeng clan was able to repair those psychic warships and pick up the lost psychic technology of the Emerald Court.
In the past, the Lingfeng Clan could only rank among the top five in the entire Borderland Tribe.
But now it can squeeze into the top three.
Ahead of them are only the Silver Tree Clan and the Green Leaf Clan.
In addition, he was also somewhat surprised by the news that the Dingbei Fleet of the Yanhan Empire was heading north again.
But if you think about it carefully, more than ten years have passed in the psychic world.
It is reasonable for the Dingbei Fleet to recuperate, reorganize, and launch another northern expedition.
However, it is surprising that the results of this battle are so remarkable.
"Is the Dingbei Fleet still commanded by Liu Changjiao? Probably not. He is too old to continue the campaign."
Chu Xuan sighed a little.
The time flow rate in the world of immortal cultivation and the world of psychic power is ten times that of the world of spiritual cultivation, which means that every time he has time to pay attention to the world of psychic power, things and people have already changed.
He continued reading and realized that the person leading the Dingbei Fleet this time was no longer Liu Changjiao, but Huo Qing and his son Huo Quji.
Moreover, the person who shined this time was none other than Huo Quji.
A young man who is not even twenty years old has a psychic level of the lower Sichuan level.
You can also kill a dirty demon head-on.
Such an impressive record has probably attracted Chaos' interest.
You must know that there is more than one Chaos God named Zhuogui in the Chaos.
Henry Chu looked for a while longer, taking in all that had happened over the past decade, before retracting his gaze.
His face showed an expression of great interest.
Because he saw some interesting things from the changes in the Lingfeng clan over the past decade.
"During a routine patrol, the Ninth Squadron discovered a nest of colorful elves. They have been brought back to Spirit Wind Planet to be carefully nurtured..."
He was amazed.
"I didn't expect that there would be such strange creatures in the psychic world."
"I can freely travel between the Chaos Plane and the Psionic World, yet I am not corrupted by the power of Chaos..."
"No wonder the Spirit Wind Clan's Black-Tailed Swallow warship can travel through the Chaos Plane without being affected."
He was overjoyed.
This kind of creature is called "colorful elf" by the demon spirit tribe.
It is only the size of a palm, colorful all over, like a sparrow, and very agile.
But the demon spirits knew their habits well and were able to trap them with delicious food.
The "Black-tailed Swallow", the battleship that the Demon Spirit Clan is most proud of, is embedded with the crystal core in the body of the colorful elf.
Of course, the colorful elf crystal core did not play a decisive role.
But the black-tailed swallow's ability to move freely in the chaotic plane is indeed due to the colorful elf crystal core.
If the colorful elf has such ability, can it be used as one of the alternative main materials for the Dongxu clone?
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan immediately directed his spiritual consciousness to Lingfeng Star and soon found the manor where the Lingfeng clan raised colorful elves.
Colorful elves like beautiful and sparkling things.
So this colorful elf manor is also full of gems.
Red garnet, green emerald, pink tourmaline, blue lapis lazuli...
They sparkle even more in the sunlight.
Chu Xuan took a quick look and found that there were hundreds of colorful elves in this manor.
Now they are all sleeping soundly in their nests made of gems.
The Lingfeng clan was able to build such a complete colorful elf manor.
It was obvious that the inheritance seed planted in Lingfeng Caiwei's mind had taken effect.
During the Emerald King's Court era, there was a complete set of breeding methods for colorful elves.
And there are more than a dozen kinds.
But with the fall of the Jade King Court, even many of the breeding methods were lost.
Chu Xuan casually grabbed a sleeping colorful elf and silently snatched it away, then returned to the Water Curtain Cave on the Aquamarine Star.
He was eager to try it out and couldn't wait to see whether the colorful elves could have such an effect.
How to test it is actually not difficult.
He just happened to have more than ten kilograms of ancient Styx water.
I bought them all at once from Shang Xingchen before leaving.
The ancient Styx River flows in the void, and naturally carries the breath of the void.
Just one drop is enough to test whether the colorful elves can travel through the void.
He reached out from the air, wrapped a drop of ancient Styx water in his spiritual power, and suspended it in mid-air.
Then it dripped onto the sleeping colorful elf.
Tick!
The colorful elves are wrapped in the water of the ancient Styx.
Time passes by every second.
The colorful elf is still sleeping soundly.
There's nothing unusual to see.
Henry Chu frowned slightly, "No?"
After a while, just when he was about to lose his patience, he was surprised to find that the colorful elf's body had become a little blurry.
Its wings and tail disappeared as if covered by an invisible object!
The whole body is like a puzzle, with a piece missing here and a piece missing there.
Henry Chu was overjoyed, "It works!"
The colorful elves can travel through the chaotic plane, and indeed they also have the ability to travel through the void!
His guess was correct!
However, how strong its shuttle capabilities are remains to be verified.
After all, only part of its body became ethereal, not completely.
"In this way, we can try to use this colorful elf as the physical body of Dongxu's clone!"
"However, the auxiliary materials have not been collected yet, so I can't start refining the Dongxu clone for the time being."
Thinking of this, he handed the colorful elf over to his Taixue clone to deal with.
He took out the extreme cold ice crystal from the extreme cold cicada and continued to comprehend the breath of the Great Way of Ice.
…
Aquamarine Star, Water Curtain Cave.
Twenty years later.
Chu Xuan looked at the palm-sized colorful bird in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
It took a full twenty years to finally refine the Dongxu clone.
Many problems arose during this period.
As he expected, the colorful elf can indeed travel through the void, but it is a creature from the psychic world after all.
The plane that is being traveled through is also the Chaos Plane.
There is naturally a difference between the two.
Chu Xuan's first attempt at refining ended in failure.
After that, he debugged it many times and finally selected the colorful elves that could travel through the void. He used this as the main material and then he truly refined this cave clone.
"Now let me see what you can do."
Henry Chu smiled.
The Dongxu clone blinked, flapped its wings lightly, and suddenly disappeared without a trace!
When it reappeared, it was clutching a huge and ancient bone in its claws.
The bones were wet.
There are also drops of water dripping to the ground.
Smelling this familiar smell, Henry Chu's eyes lit up.
This is the smell of the ancient Styx water!
This means that Dongxu's clone has traveled through the void and also fished out an ancient bone from the ancient Styx!
"It really worked!"
Henry Chu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
The initial formation of the Dongxu clone means that he can use the Dongxu clone to sense the void and comprehend the great Dao!
From now on, he will use the cultivation of an out-of-body cultivator and the skills of a void-refining cultivator!
However, before that, we have to find a technique suitable for the Dongxu clone.
The current Dongxu clone is only at the foundation-building stage.
If it weren't for the ability of the colorful elves, it would be impossible to travel back and forth in the void.
"The spiritual root is an earth-grade water spiritual root."
"The spirit body is a terrestrial-grade empty spirit body."
Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction. Such spiritual roots and spiritual bodies were already very good.
After all, the Dongxu clone was not born for cultivation.
He took a step forward, returned to Dayan Mountain, and headed towards the Qingxie Merchant Alliance.
Xuanmiao Tianzong and Qingxie Merchant Alliance are allies.
Trading a water-attributed technique is naturally not difficult.
Qingxie Star is located in the center of the Qingxie Merchant Alliance, and there are countless merchant ships coming and going.
When Chu Xuan arrived here, he could see tens of thousands of flying boats and tower ships docked.
The monks of Qingxie Star were no longer surprised.
What impressed Henry Chu the most was a towering tower that reached the sky.
How high is it?
It starts from the highest peak of Qingxie Star, goes straight into the clouds, and almost reaches the sea of stars.
It is said that that is where Taoist Qingxie practiced.
Chu Xuan's arrival shocked many Qingxie Star cultivators.
Many monks of lower realms also looked at him with admiration.
It was obvious that Chu Xuan's deeds had already spread, attracting their endless worship.
Not long after, Mu Qingfeng came to greet him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chu, how are you? How did you find time to come to our Qingxie Merchant Alliance?"
Henry Chu bowed and said, "I came here for an important matter."
The two chatted for a while before Chu Xuan told the reason.
Mu Qingfeng nodded, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me. It's just a water-attributed technique. My Qingxie Merchant Alliance has plenty of them."
An hour later, Chu Xuan walked out of the Qingxie Merchant Alliance Sutra Pavilion with satisfaction.
He has gotten what he wanted.
However, just as he was about to leave Qingxue Star, he heard a voice ringing in his ears.
"I heard that there is another disturbance in Xuling Mountain. This disturbance is very serious. There may be an early call-up. You should be prepared."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
The voice could be heard directly beside his ears, obviously it was from Taoist Master Qingxie.
However, what did Taoist Qingxie mean in his words?
Early call-up?
Wasn't it agreed that there would be no need to guard Xu Ling Mountain within three hundred years of reaching the out-of-body stage?
Why is there such a thing as early conscription?
"The last time there was an early call-up was five thousand years ago."
"The saying that one doesn't need to guard Xuling Mountain for three hundred years after reaching the Out-of-Body stage is just a normal rule."
"If Xuling Mountain becomes extremely turbulent and lacks manpower, we will recruit them in advance."
Taoist Qingxie saw his confusion and explained patiently.
Chu Xuan's heart sank, and he bowed towards the tall tower on Qingxie Star from afar, "Thank you, Daojun, for the reminder."
After saying this, he steered the ship away.
In the quiet room of the tower, Daoist Master Qingxie sighed softly, "I don't know when the early recruitment will begin. Many peerless geniuses are about to fall."
"Chu Xuan, ah Chu Xuan, I hope you are not one of those who failed and died with regret."
…
The other side.
Chu Xuan returned to the Water Curtain Cave on Hailan Star and handed over the skills to his Dongxu clone.
This technique is called "Four Spirits True Water Treasure Scroll" and can be practiced from Qi Refining to Void Refining.
Attack, defense, escape, and cultivation are all very balanced, which is very suitable for the Dongxu clone, which does not need to fight head-on but only needs to comprehend the great Dao.
Chu Xuan sat down cross-legged, thinking about what Taoist Qingxie had said.
There was no need for Taoist Qingxie to lie to him.
Obviously, an early call-up should be a matter of time.
He now has to make plans to defend Xu Ling Mountain.
"Tibetan?"
This was Chu Xuan's first thought.
Just hide and avoid forced conscription.
Anyway, he has the Mirror of the Heavens, and as long as the big spirit stone is prepared, he will have no problem hiding in the psychic world for thousands of years.
But this probably also means that he will stand on the opposite side of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance.
From then on, he could either hide in the wild star field or become corrupted by the fallen cultivators.
Moreover, guarding Xuling Mountain is actually a matter of both opportunities and risks.
Before Li Lingshu went to Xuling Mountain, he was only in the early stage of out-of-body experience. After returning from Xuling Mountain, he was already in the late stage of out-of-body experience and received many awards.
His strength is also among the best among those in the late stage of out-of-body state.
The reason why Li Lingshu couldn't beat him was simply because he had the Mirror of the Heavens, while Li Lingshu didn't.
If he didn't have the Mirror of the Heavens, and if he eliminated those demons who had fought their way out of the Shura Star Region amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Li Lingshu would definitely be the first person in the nearby star regions to achieve the state of leaving the body.
"In addition, the spiritual objects needed to reach the Out-of-Body Stage and advance to the Refining Void Stage are very few and far between, and most of them are in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."
"If I don't go to guard Xuling Mountain, how many great spiritual objects can I obtain by searching on my own and secretly trading?"
Henry Chu shook his head.
In fact, he had long expected that there would be a day when he would have to guard Xu Ling Mountain.
I just didn't expect it to come so early.
"No matter what, improving our strength as quickly as possible is the most important thing."
"In addition, we need to learn more about Xuling Mountain..."
"I wonder where Dan Jieli is now?"
Chu Xuan thought for a moment and took out the five-pointed star.
That was the token that Dan Jieli left for him.
After injecting spiritual power, Dan Jieli's voice soon sounded from the other end.
"Hey! Henry Chu, long time no see!"
Hearing this energetic voice, Chu Xuan also smiled, "Friend Dan Dao, where are you now?"
Dan Jie Li said helplessly, "I'm on a mission in the Wuxiang Star Region. The Wuxiang Dragon Temple is short of manpower, so Master assigned me here to help."
"But I'm telling you, I'm very lucky. I found a magical body. When I get back, I can fix my Seventh Senior Sister's congenital defect!"
Once Dan Jie Li started talking, it was like he opened a chatterbox.
He didn't stop until his mouth was dry.
Henry Chu did not interrupt and listened with great interest.
After a while, Dan Jie Li said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I haven't met anyone to talk to in a long time, I couldn't help myself."
"These little bald donkeys, big bald donkeys, and old bald donkeys in Wuxiang Dragon Temple are all as dull as a gourd. They are really boring."
"Chu Xuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Chu Xuan then repeated what Taoist Qingxie had said.
Dan Jie Li was stunned for a moment before he said, "Early draft... He's right. There was indeed an early draft five thousand years ago."
"But I really don't know if there has been any unrest in Xuling Mountain recently. I've been in the Wuxiang Star Region for quite a few years."
"I'll ask my master and tell you later."
Chu Xuan nodded, "That's great."
A moment later, Dan Jie Li spoke to him again, his voice trembling. "It's over. Master said that the unrest in Xu Ling Mountain is indeed showing signs of escalating, and there's a high possibility of an early call-up."
"There will definitely be an early call-up every two or three years, or as long as eight or nine years."
"It's over, it's over. I'm afraid I'll be called up early too."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, then smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Dan Jieli smiled bitterly, "Of course I'm afraid. Xuling Mountain still has the lowest casualty rate among the three passes in the Eternal Battlefield."
"Being assigned to the Burning Sea or even the Reverse Tribulation City would be the most terrifying..."
Henry Chu became interested when he heard these two words.
"Sea of Burning Embers? City of Rebellion?"
"I don't know much about the three major levels of the Eternal Battlefield. Can you tell me about them?"
Dan Jieli nodded, "Okay."
An hour later, the two ended their contact.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but think about it.
Dan Jie Li didn't know much about the three major levels of the Eternal Battlefield, but it was enough for him to have a basic understanding.
The three major checkpoints are maintained by the six sects of the Immortal Alliance respectively.
Among them, Xu Ling Mountain is presided over by Wanxing Immortal Palace and Hun Tian Zhan Zong.
Dan Jie Li also gave some information about the spiritual objects of the Great Dao that he was concerned about.
The Eternal Battlefield is the bridgehead connected to the void, where half is real and half is void.
It can be described as a jagged pattern.
It is possible that your front foot will step on solid ground.
The next step was the cold void.
If you are not careful, you may fall into the void.
Therefore, one must at least reach the state of out-of-body experience before going to guard the place.
It is precisely for this reason that the great spiritual creatures that are rarely seen in the world of immortal cultivation can be born there.
Except for those extremely rare and precious spiritual objects that need to be exchanged from the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance with military merits, some of the more common spiritual objects can be found by oneself.
Moreover, guarding Xu Ling Mountain is not like guarding ordinary soldiers.
The management of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance is very relaxed, and cultivators can build their own caves in Xuling Mountain.
On weekdays, you only need to complete enough military achievements every year, and you can use the rest of the time to do your own things.
Of course, if a powerful enemy attacks, all cultivators must respond to the call of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance and must not disobey.
After understanding this, Henry Chu felt much more at ease.
What he was most worried about was that he would have to eat and live with ordinary soldiers when guarding Xu Ling Mountain.
After all, in that case, he would have almost no secrets at all.
It is difficult to go to the Mirror of the Heavens to harvest resources.
Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"What is coming will eventually come, so don't worry about it."
Chu Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to comprehend the aura of the Great Dao within the extremely cold ice crystals.
Dongxu's clone also flashed and disappeared into the void, quietly comprehending the great way of ice.
…
The Eastern Land of the Dark Realm.
In the vast mountains and forests.
Suddenly there was a dull crashing sound.
Countless ancient trees were broken in half by its huge body, and even a mountain collapsed.
Such a huge noise scared away countless birds in an instant.
A slender figure came flying in the air, stood on the corpse of the giant beast, and showed a satisfied look.
Her plump and graceful body is wrapped in black tights.
Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, yet sharp.
He looked around with a cold gaze, scaring away many curious eyes that came after hearing the sound.
Those people all considered themselves to be powerful Divine Transformation cultivators, and they were also hunting monsters in the East Continent.
Hearing such a huge noise, I wanted to rush over.
But when they saw this figure from afar, they were horrified and flew back at an even faster speed.
Afraid of offending this strong man.
She is Chu Yunque.
Ever since she returned to Chu Xuan's side and escaped death, she has spent most of her time fighting with ancient alien species in the eastern land of the Dark Domain, trying to find a chance to leave her body.
Now her cultivation has reached the perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Stage.
But it is still difficult to find a spiritual object that can leave the body.
Chu Yunque casually cut open the giant beast's body, preparing to take away the most valuable monster materials.
But they found a Qiankun bag hidden in the giant beast's stomach.
When he opened it, he saw that there were nearly 100,000 large spirit stones, several high-grade spirit tools, and three divine jade slips.
Chu Yunque's eyes swept over them one by one, muttering to himself.
"The Myriad Souls Divine Illumination Escape Technique," "Fire Cloud and Water Flame Refining Technique," and "A New Refining Technique for the Deliverance Pill..."
She couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Master must need these things!"
Dayan Mountain.
After listening to Chu Yunque's report, Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"Master, I'll go back to East Land first." Chu Yunque said respectfully.
Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Your realm has reached perfection, and it seems that you are about to break through to the out-of-body state."
"Has the Dark Mist Seed not been agitated recently?"
Chu Yunque nodded respectfully, "Thanks to the master, the Great Dust-Cleansing Pill suppresses the Nether Mist Magic Seed, so it can't cause any trouble."
"That's right, go ahead. If you can leave your body in the future, it will be a great help." Chu Xuan smiled slightly.
Chu Yunque said solemnly, "Yes! Yunque will do his best to leave his body as soon as possible to share the burden of the master!"
Henry Chu watched her leave and smacked his lips.
"Actually, I don't have any heavy burdens. I've left all the sect affairs to Ling Xueying and Gong Yue'e..."
"However, this Fire Cloud and Water Flame Refining Method is a good thing. It is actually a method of refining acquired spiritual fire."
"Skylark didn't take anything and sent it to me right away. It seems that my rescue was not in vain."
Chu Xuan was very satisfied and immediately ordered Ling Xueying and others to collect materials for the Fire Cloud and Water Flame Refining Technique.
…
Another ten years passed.
Chu Xuan looked at the two-colored spiritual fire burning quietly in the hands of the Taixue clone, and his tired face was full of joy.
This spiritual fire is none other than the Fire Cloud and Water Flame.
The upper part is fire condensing into clouds, and the lower part is water burning into flames.
Water and fire are one, which is very strange.
This spiritual fire looks very much like the innate spiritual fire that is born and raised naturally, but in fact it is just an acquired spiritual fire.
It is formed by the fusion of two beast fires.
One is the Fire Cloud Flame from the Fire Cloud Rhino's body.
The second is the green water flame from the water snake's body.
In this way, Taixue's clone also has a spiritual fire, which can speed up the efficiency of refining medicine and weapons.
…
This day.
Chu Xuan practiced for a long time, and as usual, he spread out his spiritual sense and casually scanned the dark area.
Seeing that Xuanmiao Tianzong was the same as usual, he didn't pay too much attention to it and wanted to withdraw his spiritual sense.
Just at this moment, a powerful voice echoed and resounded throughout the sea of stars.
"Huntian War Sect Order: One month from now, all qualified cultivators in the Huntian Star Region who have reached the Out-of-Body Stage or above must immediately proceed to the Eternal Battlefield. No mistakes are allowed!"
Chu Xuan's heart was shocked, but he found that this voice seemed to only ring in the ears of cultivators who had reached the out-of-body state or above.
As for the cultivators below the level of out-of-body experience, they were completely unaware of this powerful and uncontrollable sound.
A moment later, his voice transmission jade began to ring.
Mu Qingfeng's solemn voice came from among them.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, Daoist Lord Qingxie has sent you a message, asking you to arrange the affairs of the Xuanmiao Tian Sect and come to Qingxie Star as soon as possible to wait. Don't miss the deadline."
Henry Chu nodded in understanding, "I understand."
Mu Qingfeng suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Chu doesn't seem afraid at all."
"Did you hear that? My voice is shaking a little."
"I heard that the Eternal Battlefield is not a good place. The casualty rate of out-of-body cultivators is very high."
Chu Xuan chuckled, "What is coming will eventually come. From the day I entered the Out-of-Body state, I had already expected this day to come. It's just a matter of sooner or later."
Mu Qingfeng sighed, "Yes... yes..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Chu Xuan also put away the sound transmission jade and instead summoned Chu Yunque, Ling Xueying, Gong Yue'e, Shu Qi and others.
"...That's how it is. I will be away from the sect for a long time."
"The various affairs of the Xuanmiao Tianzong will be handed over to you to handle."
"After I left, the Xuanmiao Tianzong did not leave their body to guard the sect, and temporarily attached themselves to the Qingxie Merchant Alliance."
Henry Chu looked around at everyone and said calmly.
Ling Xueying and the others were all shocked.
Although they all knew more or less that the out-of-body monk had reasons to guard the place.
But I didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"We respectfully send off the ancestor!"
Ling Xueying and the others looked at each other, half-knelt down, and spoke solemnly.
"You guys go, Yu Que stays for now." Chu Xuan waved his hand.
After they left, Chu Xuan looked at Chu Yunque and threw a Qiankun bag to him, "Don't practice the Nether Mist Technique anymore in the future. The pills in here are enough for you to use."
Chu Yunque knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly, "Thank you, Master!"
Henry Chu patted Chu Yunque's shoulder and said, "After I leave, I'll rely on you here."
"Yes! Yunque will definitely leave the body as soon as possible to share the master's worries!" Chu Yunque's tone was extremely serious, and it was obvious that he regarded it as a matter of vital importance.
Chu Xuan returned to the cave, brought his free demon body and Taixue clone, and came to the sky above the dark domain.
He stepped onto the ship and before leaving, he took one last look at the place and left without looking back.
…
Green Aphid Star.
The sect's main hall.
The main hall of the Qingxie Merchant Alliance is very interesting, as it is made entirely of ancient copper coins.
The eaves of the main hall are also decorated with various copper and silver coins.
It fully demonstrates the "business alliance characteristics" of Qingxie Business Alliance.
When Henry Chu arrived here, there were already several people waiting in the hall, whispering to each other.
There was worry between his brows.
Henry Chu's arrival immediately attracted their attention.
Mu Qingfeng and Song Zhenlin immediately stood up and bowed, "Fellow Daoist Chu is here, please take a seat."
The others who had left their bodies also quickly stood up, their eyes filled with awe.
They all witnessed how powerful Chu Xuan was, so naturally they didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
And now that we are on good terms, maybe after going to Xu Ling Mountain, I can also borrow some help from Chu Xuan.
Song Zhenlin sighed, "Fellow Daoist Chu, we are all worried. Xuling Mountain... that's really not a good place to go."
Mu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, "None of us who have achieved enlightenment have ever guarded Xuling Mountain, so we don't know what the situation is like there."
"I once asked Li Lingshu, but he was vague in his explanation..."
Chu Xuan shook his head. "I don't know much either. I hope Daojun Qingxie can help me understand."
The others sighed and continued their anxious conversation.
All they talked about was what to do after going to Xu Ling Mountain and what to do with the sect.
Chu Xuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep from beginning to end, without saying a word.
Communication only adds to the trouble and is meaningless.
An hour later.
A figure appeared out of nowhere in the sect's main hall.
He was wearing a loose green robe, had a big belly, and looked very naive.
It was Taoist Qingxie.
All the out-of-body beings, including Chu Xuan, bowed slightly and called him Daojun or Master.
Taoist Qingxie looked around at all the out-of-body cultivators, especially at Chu Xuan a few more times, and nodded slightly.
"I don't like talking nonsense, so let's get straight to the point."
"The main reason for the early recruitment this time is because of the unrest in Xuling Mountain and the lack of manpower, so we recruited a group of out-of-body cultivators in advance."
"Of course, there are compensations."
"You, who have never been to Xuling Mountain, have now obtained a Class C combat merit out of thin air."
"One C-level battle merit is roughly equivalent to 100,000 great spirit stones."
"As someone who's been through this, I'm giving you a piece of advice in advance. Battle merit is the hard currency of the Eternal Battlefield, and high-level battle merit is much more valuable than low-level ones."
Daoist Master Qingxie said solemnly, "Military merit can be exchanged for countless things."
"From formations, weapons, elixirs and talismans to power and status, we have everything."
"No matter how many large spirit stones or elixirs those old birds want to use in exchange for your military exploits, never agree to it."
After these words were spoken, Mu Qingfeng, Song Zhenlin and other out-of-body cultivators nodded repeatedly.
Chu Xuan was also thoughtful.
"Next, let's talk about some details of Xuling Mountain."
Daoist Master Qingxie sighed softly, "These were all my personal experiences back then. I wonder how much has changed now."
"Just listen to this, and consider it my parting words."
Taoist Qingxie spoke for three hours.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been thirsty long ago.
But he was still full of energy.
Finally, he looked around at everyone and said with emotion, "Xu Ling Mountain is a dangerous place, but it is also a place of opportunity."
"In this environment, it's hard to tell who is the sand and who is the gold, who will fall and who will forge ahead.
"For cultivators of average aptitude and exhausted potential, they might find a second spring there, but it is also extremely dangerous."
"For cultivators with extraordinary talent and incredible strength, they may be able to make further progress there, but they also face the risk of premature death."
Daoist Master Qingxie said in a deep voice, "That's all I can say."
"In three days, someone from the Huntian War Sect will come to take you to Xuling Mountain."
"Take care of yourselves."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
The expressions on everyone's faces were very different.
Some are worried, some are excited, some are frowning and thinking, and some are sad.
Chu Xuan's expression remained normal.
After Taoist Qingxie left.
Everyone left and returned to their own caves.
Chu Xuan also stayed here temporarily to adjust his mood.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Chu, the Hun Tian Zhan Sect's ship has arrived. It's time for us to set off."
Henry Chu opened his eyes, pushed the door open and walked out, "Let's go."
The free demon body and the Taixue clone followed closely behind.
As for the Dongxu clone, because it was very small, he simply hid it in his sleeves.
The clone is not a monster or a poisonous insect, and it cannot be put away without a unique treasure.
Mu Qingfeng was stunned when he saw two identical Chu Xuans walking out.
He was surprised again when he saw a young child.
After a while, he said cautiously, "Fellow Daoist Chu...is this your child?"
"Don't bring your children with you when you go to Xuling Mountain. It's very dangerous."
Chu Xuan laughed dumbly, "My clone."
Mu Qingfeng opened his eyes wide, "Two clones?"
Henry Chu nodded.
Mu Qingfeng was greatly shocked and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Chu is so powerful, I have to admire him!"
Whoosh whoosh.
Rays of light flew away from Qingxie Star and arrived in the sea of stars.
There is indeed a huge monster here.
However, what came into view was not a building ship, but a dragon with bared fangs and claws!
This dragon is over a thousand feet long and its entire body is silver-white.
Fine dragon scales cover the entire body, sparkling under the starlight.
The dragon's eyes are red, its whiskers are flowing, and its horns are sharp.
From beginning to end, he exuded the pressure of a superior.
Obviously, this is a demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage.
There was a person standing on the top of the dragon, and only one person.
This man was covered in muscles and was over ten feet tall, a head taller than Chu Xuan and the others.
Chu Xuan knew at a glance that this person must be a body cultivator above the 61st level.
The corresponding stage is the Void Refining Stage in the Qi Refining Realm.
The man glanced around and said casually, "Are you the Out-of-Body Abilities of the Qingxie Merchant Alliance? Come up."
"Hurry up, I have to go to another sect to pick someone up."
Mu Qingfeng, Song Zhenlin and others did not dare to delay. They bowed and immediately boarded the dragon.
The others did not dare to delay and followed.
Henry Chu took a quick look and discovered that everyone had only one clone.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they have unique means to hide their clones.
He never underestimates anyone in the world.
The muscular monk shouted, "Stand firm."
He stomped his foot suddenly, and the dragon roared, then suddenly rushed out.
In an instant, the stars and the sea of stars in the sky turned into light and swept backwards.
So fast that it is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
When he stopped again, he had already appeared above Yaoguang Star, the main star of Yaoguang Cave Heaven.
Another group of people boarded the Jiaolong.
Next up are the Jiuyou Palace and the Tianfu Sect.
Finally, there are those demonic monks who are protected by the Taoist Lord Shendu.
From the day these demonic monks enter the Hun Tian star region, they will be under the jurisdiction of the Hun Tian War Sect.
Now naturally we have to go and guard Xu Ling Mountain.
After the out-of-body cultivators boarded the dragon, they gathered in groups of three or five according to their sects.
There is only a small amount of communication between them.
After bringing along all the out-of-body cultivators from the nearby star fields, the muscular cultivator gave an order and the dragon fled into deep space at an astonishing speed.
Henry Chu glanced around and quickly got a number.
Twenty-one.
There are a total of twenty-one out-of-body monks.
The number is not large.
The vast majority of them have never guarded Xu Ling Mountain.
He also saw Shangguan Youlian from Jiuyou Palace, and the two nodded without saying anything.
To his surprise, he actually saw Li Lingshu.
Mu Qingfeng caught a glimpse of Li Lingshu from the corner of his eye and wondered, "Didn't he go to guard Xuling Mountain once? Why is he going again?"
Song Zhenlin pondered, "There must be extra rewards for going to Xuling Mountain again. Li Lingshu is a proud man. He has always wanted to reach greater heights, especially after being defeated by Fellow Daoist Chu."
The people nearby also nodded.
A few days later, the dragon stopped and everyone looked forward.
There was a huge teleportation array that spanned the sea of stars.
There are now two dragons floating in front of the teleportation array.
Many people who have left their bodies are entering one after another through the teleportation array.
The muscular monk flew into the air, greeted the two people above the two dragons, and then returned.
He waved his hand, "Go ahead. After passing through the teleportation array, you will reach Xuling Mountain. Someone will be there to greet you."
"I still have to go to other star regions to pick up people, and time is running out."
Chu Xuan and the others did not suspect anything and came to the teleportation array one after another, passing through the light curtain one by one.
There was a strange light all around, and the world was spinning.
When the situation in front of him stabilized, he was already standing on solid ground.
The rest of the people also stood here, looking around curiously.
What comes into view is a flat and wide square.
Several huge teleportation arrays stand here.
The out-of-body cultivators from various star fields in the Hun Tian star region came here through the teleportation array just like them.
Looking into the distance, you can see towering mountains.
Below the mountain is a basin that stretches as far as the eye can see.
That should be the eternal battlefield.
As for the sky.
The sky above their heads was still normal, clear and cloudless.
But the higher you go above the basin, the darker the sky becomes.
It is even composed entirely of darkness, cold, chaos and loneliness.
There is emptiness.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but look into the distance at the void. The more he looked, the deeper it seemed to him, as if it was going to suck his soul in.
There are countless auras of great ways wandering in it, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.
Most of the other monks who came here for the first time were in the same situation.
Very curious about the void.
The more you keep staring at it, the harder it becomes to stop.
After a while, the Fallen Dragon Technique Seed in Chu Xuan's Dantian Ocean suddenly turned.
In the blink of an eye, his pupils were replaced by eyes of destruction, and then disappeared in an instant.
He immediately recovered from his state of being trapped in the void.
"So fast!"
A surprised voice sounded nearby.
Chu Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw many people looking over here with scrutiny.
The owner of the voice was a woman with a gentle appearance and tenderness.
Noticing Henry Chu's gaze, the woman smiled politely, "Daoyou, this is your first time facing the void, yet you were able to get rid of it so quickly. You're truly amazing."
Chu Xuan looked back and found that the other out-of-body cultivators who had arrived at Xu Ling Mountain for the first time were almost all still holding their heads high with dull eyes.
Only a few people like Li Lingshu seemed to have been prepared. They did not look into the void and did not get deeply involved in it.
The gentle woman looked at Chu Xuan for a few times, and suddenly noticed the Taixue clone behind Chu Xuan, and was slightly surprised.
The method of refining Taixue's clone is only known to the monks of Wanxing Immortal Palace.
Where did this person's Taixue clone come from?
However, she did not show her surprise on her face, but smiled and said, "My name is Chu Xuanji from Wanxing Immortal Palace. May I know your name?"
Chu Xuan bowed and gave his name.
Chu Xuanji slightly widened her beautiful eyes, "Are you Henry Chu?"
Henry Chu was puzzled, "Do we know each other?"
Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Junior Sister Jie Li has told me about you several times. I am her seventh senior sister."
Henry Chu was a little surprised, "Nice to meet you."
Li Lingshu, who was not far away, was shocked.
How come Chu Xuan can chat and laugh with the disciples of Wanxing Immortal Palace as soon as he arrives at Xuling Mountain?
Do you have such a wide network of contacts?
At this time, Chu Xuanji waved her hand casually, and a breeze blew across everyone's cheeks.
All the people who had left their bodies finally recovered as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Many people looked shocked and frightened.
Chu Xuanji said solemnly, "Fellow Daoists, you must not stare directly into space. This is the most basic rule of the Eternal Battlefield."
"The void you see when you stand on Xuling Mountain is the void weakened by the Ten Directions Immovable River and Mountain Formation."
"If you stand in the Eternal Battlefield, or even stand close to the side of the void, and then look directly into the void, even a cultivator at the Out-of-Body Stage will become an idiot in a few breaths."
These words made everyone look serious.
"Thank you, fairy. I'm grateful for your guidance!" Song Zhenlin bowed.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!" The other cultivators also spoke up.
Chu Xuanji smiled slightly, casually patted the Qiankun bag, and hundreds of tokens flew out immediately, hovering precisely in front of everyone.
This scene shocked many people.
They thought to themselves that they were worthy of being disciples of the Ten Thousand Stars Immortal Palace, and that this meticulous control alone was enough for them to practice for decades.
Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "This token is called the Immortal Alliance Token. It has the functions of sound transmission, image transmission, early warning, defense, waterproof, fireproof, super speed, and basic formation deployment."
"Its value is equivalent to that of a top-grade spiritual weapon."
"In addition, according to the rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, as long as you brand it and then wear it, it will record the military merits you have gained by killing enemies from outside the domain."
"As for the details of obtaining military merits, they can also be read from the Immortal Alliance Order."
Chu Xuanji continued, "Fellow Daoists, you can now open up your own caves, or come to me and choose an unowned cave."
"The rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance are that every out-of-body cultivator must obtain at least ten D-level combat merits every ten years."
"As long as you complete this task, you can arrange the rest of your time as you please."
"Now that the enemy has temporarily ceased their attacks, according to the previous rules, fellow Taoists have five days of free time. Take advantage of this time to familiarize yourself with Xuling Mountain as quickly as possible."
Everyone bowed to Chu Xuanji and said, "Thank you."
Someone came to Chu Xuanji, wanting to choose an ownerless cave, and also wanted to get close to this disciple of Wanxing Immortal Palace.
Some people began to rush towards the distance, intending to open up their own caves.
Chu Xuan also had the same idea.
He looked toward the mountains to the east, which seemed like a good place.
After flying for a while, we suddenly saw a huge statue.
The statue is not very tall, only about a hundred feet.
But the pressure it exudes is intimidating.
This is a man in a robe with his hands behind his back.
The whole body is perfect from top to bottom.
His eyes looked up at the sky, awe-inspiring without anger, as if he was shocking the void.
Chu Xuan looked at it a few more times, and a feeling of awe rose in his heart.
Could this be a statue of a certain Heavenly Lord who has transcended tribulation?
"That's the statue of the Ancient Emperor."
Suddenly, a calm voice came from the side.
Chu Xuan looked to his side and saw Li Lingshu coming over and nodding at him in a friendly manner.
"Ancient Emperor?" Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Li Lingshu nodded. "The founder of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, the master of the twelve Heavenly Lords who transcended tribulation, and the only person to ascend to the immortal realm after the ancient golden age."
After saying this, he sighed, "Legend has it that on that day, Senior Ancient Emperor personally killed the Greedy Ancestor of Trouble, and with all his merits, he ascended to heaven in broad daylight!"
"Such a grand occasion is rarely seen in the world."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
I didn't expect the status of this statue to be so noble.
Li Lingshu suddenly handed over a divine consciousness jade slip, "Fellow Daoist Chu has just arrived at Xuling Mountain, so he must be unclear about many things."
"This contains something that Li recorded. The information isn't too much, but it's enough for Fellow Daoist Chu to understand the situation."
Henry Chu immediately accepted it with a smile.
Although he defeated Li Lingshu in public, the other party did not hate him.
Now they are giving gifts instead.
This is the social order in the world of cultivating immortals.
Because his strength is so strong, everyone can see it.
Li Lingshu did not want to make enemies with him, so he would naturally make friends with him instead.
Li Lingshu pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "My cave is right there. When Fellow Daoist Chu has chosen a cave, we can have a small chat."
Chu Xuan nodded, "That's great."
The two just separated.
Suddenly, a group of tall, muscular monks walked by quickly.
The monks around gave way.
Their appearances are very strange.
If I had to describe it, his entire body seemed to be made of red rock.
You can feel the heat radiating from them from a distance.
The man in the lead was even more powerful and was a head taller than the others.
There were even flames burning on his head and shoulders.
Li Lingshu whispered, "They are the Yanshan War Clan. They were originally a mountain range here, but were inspired by the Ancient Emperor to transform into humans."
"The Yanshan War Clan is very powerful and always rushes to the front in every battle."
"You've noticed the leader, right? His name is Yan Shanlie, and he's the strongest of the four generations of the Yanshan War Clan!"
