Chu Xuan couldn't help but marvel at it.
The mountains were inspired by the ancient emperor to transform into humans?
It seems that the ancient emperor is far more powerful than he imagined.
Li Lingshu saw his surprise and said with a smile, "And there are five more people like the Yanshan War Clan."
"Anything else?" Chu Xuan was even more curious.
Li Lingshu nodded, "They are collectively known as the Mountain and River War Clan, and they have three mountains and three rivers."
"The three mountains are Yanshan, Leishan, and Jianshan. The three rivers are Binghe, Yinhe, and Guhe."
"Almost all members of the Mountain and River War Clan are born with divine power, and a mountain and river soul is embedded in their bodies."
"That's why, even though they don't use spiritual weapons, their strength is comparable to that of cultivators at the same level."
"The most terrifying thing is their military exploits."
"I heard that the standard set by their clan is one hundred D-level combat merits in ten years, which is ten times what we cultivators can achieve!"
Li Lingshu paused and continued, "I wonder if you've heard of the Xuling Mountain Ranking. It's a list compiled by the Tiandao Immortal Alliance to motivate cultivators. The more military exploits you have, the higher your ranking."
"If you can occupy the top ten spots, you can gain military merit without doing anything."
"In the top twenty of the Xuling Mountain Ranking, eight are from the Shanhe War Clan!"
"It can be said that each of them has made great military achievements."
Henry Chu couldn't help but be curious, "Why are they trying so hard?"
Li Lingshu glanced around, confirming that there were no members of the Shanhe War Clan. He then lowered his voice and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but I heard others say it was because of a promise."
"It is said that this was the promise given to the Mountain and River War Clan during the Ancient Emperor's guidance."
Henry Chu asked, "What promise?"
Li Lingshu's voice lowered. "As long as their entire clan accumulates enough military merit, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance will allow them to leave the Eternal Battlefield and enjoy a stable life."
"That's why the Shanhe War Clan fought so hard to earn military merit."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, but couldn't help sighing.
Fighting for the continuation of the tribe is indeed an admirable goal.
However, if the Shanhe War Clan was really as brave and good at fighting as Li Lingshu described, would the Tiandao Immortal Alliance let them leave the Eternal Battlefield so easily?
He shook his head and stopped thinking about other people.
The two of them then bowed and said goodbye, touching the Immortal Alliance Order before leaving.
Li Lingshu said that in the future, they could directly transmit sound or images through the Immortal Alliance Order.
Chu Xuan continued to fly eastward.
He observed the terrain as he flew.
Xu Ling Mountain was indeed as Dan Jie Li described, surrounding the entire Eternal Battlefield like a semicircle.
The place where these foreign monks appeared through the teleportation array was the giant mountain in the center of Xu Ling Mountain.
It is called "Juling Peak".
There are also many buildings on Juling Peak, such as Sutra Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion, Mission Pavilion, and Fighting Arena.
It can be regarded as the core area of Xuling Mountain.
The further you go to the east and west sides of Xu Ling Mountain, the fewer monks come and go.
Looking around, there are only towering mountains with no human habitation.
It took a long time to notice a flash of light passing by.
"Xu Ling Mountain is much larger than I imagined."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
His eyes swept across the mountains, rivers and peaks.
Finally found a place surrounded by mountains and water.
This is a valley of medium size located halfway up the mountain.
There is a small lake in the valley, and the water comes from springs at various mountaintops.
Chu Xuan took out the Soul-Killing Lock and smashed it violently, and soon he smashed out a simple cave.
As for the rough spots, they were quickly smoothed out.
He figured he would be staying here for a long time, so he didn't smash a matchbox.
Instead, it was expanded and stone chambers such as the alchemy room and the weapon refining room were added.
Now it is no longer a matchbox, at least it should be called a high-end matchbox.
After opening up the cave, Chu Xuan was in a good mood and couldn't help but look into the distance.
The view here is also very wide, and you can see the basin below at a glance.
You can still vaguely see a huge city standing in the center of the basin.
"Could that be Nijie City? The giant city that runs directly into the center of the Eternal Battlefield?"
Chu Xuan's heart trembled.
He could hardly imagine what kind of mentality the monks guarding the Nijie City had.
After all, the Eternal Battlefield is actually equivalent to a buffer zone between the world of immortal cultivation and the void.
Compared with it, Xu Ling Mountain can even be considered as the rear.
The pressure in guarding the buffer zone is completely different from that in guarding the rear.
Chu Xuan casually took out the Immortal Alliance Order and quickly put his spiritual mark on it.
He fiddled with it for a bit and quickly figured out how to use the Immortal Alliance Order.
He probed his spiritual sense into it and indeed found a spot of light, which represented Li Lingshu.
However, there is only this one spot of light.
"After all, I still don't quite understand who the enemy is..."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, and then he took out the spiritual jade slip that Li Lingshu had given him.
He first tested it with a washbasin to make sure it was safe before picking it up and placing it between his eyebrows.
After a moment, he rubbed his temples and frowned deeply.
"I didn't expect there would be so many enemies."
There are three types of enemies that monks have to fight against in the Eternal Battlefield.
They are Xutian Immortal Sect, the Disaster Beast, and the Void Man.
The Xutian Immortal Sect is actually a sect established by Duoxiu in the void.
The one who leads the fallen cultivators is the Immortal Destroyer.
It is said that this person has the strength to be the best among those who have transcended the tribulation, and can be called half a step beyond the tribulation.
Some people also said that Miexian had exchanged a few moves with Qingtianzun, the leader of the Huntian War Sect, but survived.
In addition, there are many powerful people under the Immortal Destroyer, all of whom are among the best in the Dao.
The evil beasts are Greedy Devourer, Abyss Dragon, Dark Locust, Dark Mist, Blood Moon Monster, etc.
They all came from the void and are not monsters from this world.
Among the evil beasts, the extremely powerful individual who can fight against the Heavenly Venerable is called the Encephal of Evil.
The most powerful Greedy Ancestor of Trouble back then was destroyed by the Ancient Emperor himself.
As for the Void, they are an intelligent race living in the void.
They look similar to humans, with one head, two arms and two legs.
The difference is that they are taller, gray and black, and can easily travel through the void.
Xu people rarely appear in the eternal battlefield.
On weekdays, there are the most fallen cultivators and evil beasts.
Before, near the teleportation array, Chu Xuanji said that the enemy would temporarily stop and they had five days to familiarize themselves with Xu Ling Mountain.
This so-called "enemy" is actually a fallen cultivator who practices the Dark Locust method.
The Xutian Immortal Sect is very open and broad, and there are actually many factions within it.
For example, it is difficult for practitioners who practice different methods to get along with each other.
The number of fallen cultivators who practice the Dark Locust Method is the largest, and they are also the most diligent in attacking the Eternal Battlefield on weekdays.
Chu Xuan looked at it in amazement.
There is too much information in this.
Moreover, he guessed something that Li Lingshu did not say.
Li Lingshu had said before that the ancient emperor had twelve disciples, and if nothing unexpected happened, all twelve of them should be Heavenly Lords who could transcend tribulations.
But why are there only six Heavenly Lords in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance?
So, where did the remaining six go?
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Chu Xuan did not dare to say that he knew the entire Eternal Battlefield very well.
But the general situation has been grasped.
He also visited the Sutra Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion, and Mission Pavilion on Juling Peak.
I learned about the exchange rates between various martial arts techniques, natural treasures and military merits.
On the way, he met many old friends including Shangguan Youlian, and they all touched the Immortal Alliance Order just like they did with Li Lingshu.
In the future, we will be able to communicate using the Immortal Alliance Order.
On this day, the Immortal Alliance Order on Chu Xuan's waist vibrated slightly.
He opened it and heard a powerful voice coming from it.
"The Dark Locusts and Fallen Cultivators are attacking. All Out-of-Body Cultivators who participate in the battle will receive a D-level combat merit."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He already knew that a D-level military merit could only be obtained by killing a creature in the early stage of out-of-body experience.
If one kills fallen cultivators and evil beasts below the out-of-body stage, such as fallen cultivators in the spirit transformation stage, at least one hundred of them will be needed to accumulate a D-level military merit.
It is quite good that I can directly get a D-level military merit by participating in this battle.
With his strength, he should be able to gain more military merits after joining the war.
Moreover, this was his first time at Xu Ling Mountain, so he really wanted to participate in a battle to feel the difference between fighting here and fighting in the outside world.
The spiritual jade slip that Li Lingshu gave him mentioned that Xu Ling Mountain was protected by the Ten Directions Unmovable Mountains and Rivers Formation, so the cultivators could not feel anything.
But as soon as you descend Xuling Mountain and enter the basin at the foot of the mountain, you can immediately feel the ravages of countless void beings.
The void will corrode cultivators, but it will also bless fallen cultivators, evil beasts, and empty people.
As one gains strength while the other loses strength, monks often have to expend more effort to kill the enemy.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan looked at the free demon body who was meditating and practicing in the cave.
You don't have to go there to experience the battle.
The same applies to the clone.
The free demon body opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and walked out of the cave with big strides.
…
Void.
The scene here is completely different from the world of cultivating immortals.
It is dark, lonely, deep and cold here, as if there is no life here.
Countless star fragments and ancient ruins are still in the void.
Some of the ruins even existed in ancient times.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this place seems lifeless.
But in every shadow there may be hordes of evil beasts lurking.
Once you alarm them, you will be hunted endlessly.
On one side of the void, near the void crack of the Eternal Battlefield, a continent is suspended.
An ancient and evil palace stands quietly here.
Its style is not uniform from top to bottom.
The foundation is paved with hard blood-stained stones, while the walls are made of rotten spiritual wood.
The lower part is straight and level, but the upper part is crooked.
It is solemn, yet absurd.
It is majestic, yet twisted.
Multiple completely different and contradictory perceptions appear on this palace at the same time.
If you look at it for too long, you might even feel that you are as twisted and absurd as this palace.
The palace was simple and crude.
But the throne is exceptionally magnificent.
It is made up of countless gems, bones and animal skins.
There were even several huge spines inserted into the back of the throne.
Judging from its length, it is obviously not extracted from a human, but more like a dragon bone.
On the throne, sat a man.
The man was wearing a loose purple shirt, which exposed his muscular chest.
His right hand supported his head, and his left hand rested casually on the throne, tapping his skull on the armrest.
He stepped barefoot on the cold ground.
There was a dim gray-black sun behind his head.
There were two crescent-shaped blood-colored monsters lying on his shoulders.
There is a dark mist surrounding the toes.
There were also swarms of yellow and black locusts lying quietly on the sides of the throne.
He exudes an evil aura that looks down on the world.
Any fallen cultivator who comes to this palace will involuntarily hold his breath.
Afraid of alarming the king.
His former real name has long since passed away like the wind.
Today, both the Tiandao Immortal Alliance and the Xutian Immortal Sect call him "Miexian".
He has many other identities.
The ninth incarnation of the Fallen Ancestor, the leader of the Xutian Immortal Sect, half a step away from transcending the tribulation...
At this moment, a cautious voice sounded, "Master, there is news from the Heaven-Defying Alliance."
Miexian then opened his eyes.
Deep in his eyes, there was a pair of vertical pupils.
It doesn't look like a human eye, but more like a dragon's eye.
He looked down and saw a fallen cultivator kneeling there.
"What is it?"
When Miexian opened his mouth, his voice seemed to come from all directions.
It seemed as if the universe and the universe were responding to his every move.
The fallen cultivator said respectfully, "Senior Luanxing from the Inverted Heaven Alliance said that the new master of the Black Tortoise Seal has arrived at Xuling Mountain."
Miexian raised his eyebrows, "Who?"
Duxiu respectfully presented a mirror.
Miexian took a shot from the air, and the mirror flew out of thin air and hovered in front of him.
In the mirror, a face of extraordinary bearing appeared.
It was Chu Xuan.
Lines of small words also appeared next to it.
It encompasses all of Chu Xuan's apparent strengths and methods.
Miexian frowned, "The new owner of the Xuanwu Seal is only at the level of Out-of-Body Cultivation?"
The fallen cultivator whispered, "Senior Luanxing said he didn't know either."
"But the Kunlun Sword Sect once ordered the retrieval of the Black Tortoise Seal, but in the end, nothing happened."
"He guessed that Chu Xuan might be supported by the Wanxing Immortal Palace."
Miexian tapped the armrest lightly and snorted coldly, "Wanxing Immortal Palace is the best at scheming."
"We can't rule out the possibility that this is a decoy."
"Aren't Huang Chong's men attacking Xuling Mountain? Let him send someone to test the waters."
"It would be great if we could capture Chu Xuan alive, but it's also fine if we can't."
Duo Xiu nodded respectfully, "I understand. I will arrange it right away."
Miexian waved his hand.
Du Xiu understood what he meant and left immediately.
The palace became dead silent again.
But there seemed to be some strange noises coming from somewhere.
It took a while before the sound of Mixian was heard.
"I know. I will get the Black Tortoise Seal for you. After all, it is part of the Ancient Emperor's Seal."
"If we can completely restore the Ancient Emperor Seal, we will definitely be able to..."
"But in exchange, the Dark Sun Cult must obey me."
"And I want them to obey me completely, not just honor me as their leader in name only."
The strange sound rang out again.
Seems to be refusing.
Miexian said coldly, "You expect me to do things for you without asking for anything? Don't dream."
"Without me, you won't find another person who can command so many fallen cultivators."
The two sides exchanged views several times.
The strange voice finally agreed with Mixian's opinion.
The owner of the strange voice seemed to have withdrawn in an instant.
The palace fell silent again.
But this time, Miexian kept his eyes open, his gaze burning.
No one knows what is in his mind.
…
Half a year later.
Xuling Mountain, Lingyun Valley.
Lingyun Valley is the name Chu Xuan gave to the new cave he opened for himself.
He suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a little anxious.
He looked at the basin below the mountain with a frown on his face.
Although the main body cannot feel what the clone is doing, they can sense each other.
Just now he suddenly sensed that the Demonic Body of Freedom seemed to be in trouble.
Chu Xuan immediately walked out of Lingyun Valley with a serious expression.
He immediately contacted other people using the Immortal Alliance Order, but in the end he only contacted Li Lingshu.
He soon learned from Li Lingshu that the fallen cultivators of the Dark Locust Sect had launched a massive attack on many strongholds for half a year before temporarily retreating.
Just as the monks breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return to Xu Ling Mountain.
Those dark locusts that had been dead came back to life and blocked the retreat of many monks.
Two-thirds of the monks who participated in the battle returned safely.
But one third were still trapped and had to break out in all directions in order to escape to nearby strongholds for respite.
Most of those trapped were out-of-body monks who were recruited in advance and had little experience.
It was completely unexpected that the dead Dark Locust would be resurrected.
Among these trapped monks is the Demon Body of Freedom.
It was naturally impossible for Chu Xuan to give up such a great clone.
He wants to get his free demon body back.
"We cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap."
"But if a master at the Refining Void level makes any move, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance should also be able to detect it."
"The opponent I'm going to face is still out-of-body at best."
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan used the Blood Demon's Great Sky Escape and headed straight for the Juling Peak Mission Pavilion.
Since someone is trapped, the Mission Pavilion will definitely issue a reinforcement mission.
…
Juling Peak, Mission Pavilion.
Entering the Mission Pavilion, there is a huge monument standing in the center of the lobby.
There are many lines of text on the huge monument.
Each line of text represents a task.
Some are stationed at a certain stronghold for a limited time.
Some of them came to reinforce a certain team of monks.
Others are there to reinforce the fighting on the front line.
The reward for a task is linked to its difficulty.
The more difficult the task, the more military merits will be rewarded after completing it.
Chu Xuan's eyes scanned the lines of text and soon found his target.
Mission: Reinforce the Upside-Down River stronghold and rescue the monks trapped by the Fallen Cultivators and Dark Locusts.
Reward: One to five D-level combat merits, related to the number of monks rescued.
The Eternal Battlefield is the boundary between this world and the void.
This place is like an alluvial plain brought by river water, rich in various treasures.
The spiritual objects of the Great Dao are the most numerous type among them.
The Upside-Down River is a treasure land in the eternal battlefield that produces great spiritual objects.
Many years ago, the Tiandao Immortal Alliance sent monks to guard it.
In fact, most of the battles between the Xutian Immortal Sect and the Tiandao Immortal Alliance revolved around these strongholds that produced the great spiritual objects.
The goal of the Xutian Immortal Sect is to destroy these strongholds, plunder the spiritual objects of the Great Dao, and leave the cultivators of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance with no spiritual objects of the Great Dao to use.
According to information revealed by Li Lingshu, the place where the dark locust was resurrected was near the inverted river.
If the monks trapped by the dark locusts break out, they will most likely go to the inverted river stronghold to hold their ground.
He did not believe Li Lingshu's words easily, so he came to the Mission Pavilion on purpose.
Facts have proved that Li Lingshu did not lie.
Because the Mission Pavilion also issued a mission to reinforce the Daoxuan River stronghold.
Chu Xuan accepted the task, turned around and left, heading straight for the basin at the foot of the mountain.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The strong wind blew past my ears.
Soon, he came to the boundary between the mountains and the basin.
There is a faint light curtain in front, separating the two.
This is exactly the Ten Directions Unmovable Rivers and Mountains Formation.
It is said that this is a great formation for the Tribulation Crossing period arranged by the Ancient Emperor himself. If it is fully operational, it can withstand the attack of four Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Lords. It can be said that the defense is unparalleled.
Once you cross the Ten Directions Unmovable Rivers and Mountains Formation, it means you have truly entered the eternal battlefield.
Although the clone had been there before, it was the first time for the original body to come to such a place.
He took a deep breath and took a step forward.
boom!
A buzzing sound suddenly came from the soul level.
It seemed so long, yet so short as a blink of an eye.
Chu Xuan calmed himself down and noticed a series of mosquito-like whispers in his ears.
This is exactly what every monk will experience.
"These whispers are the root cause of the monks' degeneration."
He ignored all distractions and headed straight ahead.
With his firm mind, he is destined not to be deceived.
To put it another way, he still has the trump card of Destruction Eyes.
The Fallen Dragon Dharma Seed is the king among the fallen paths.
How can the rest of those who have fallen into the path surpass it?
The scenery of the Eternal Battlefield is very unique.
Some places are barren and all you can see is the Gobi Desert.
In some places, the trees are lush and dense, but the shapes of these towering trees are quite strange and twisted.
In some places, flames are burning all day long.
In some places, waterfalls flow from bottom to top.
Since the beginning of the chaotic era, the Tiandao Immortal Alliance has been guarding this place for a hundred thousand years.
He already knew all about the dangerous places, precious places and blessed places in the eternal battlefield.
Those precious places that can produce spiritual objects of the Great Dao will be guarded by special personnel for a long time.
Long before the free demon body set out, Chu Xuan went to the treasure house of Juling Peak to exchange for a rough map.
It briefly marks out most of the dangerous places, hazardous areas and strongholds in the Eternal Battlefield.
As for the precious land, that is an additional price.
Chu Xuan advanced at high speed while recalling the map and quickly locked onto the location of the Upside-Down River.
The Upside-Down River is far away from Xuling Mountain, but at least it is located south of Nijie City.
For many cultivators, the area south of Nijie City is relatively safe.
The area north of Nijie City is truly a dangerous place.
Chu Xuan moved forward and suddenly became thoughtful.
The Dark Locust itself has no way to resurrect from the dead.
But it is said that the fallen cultivators who practice the Dark Sun method can resurrect the Dark Locust to fight for them.
These two kinds of fall into the path are complementary.
However, there are constant conflicts of interest between sects, which is why there is a gap.
Could it be that the Dark Locust Sect's attack this time also involves the Dark Sun Sect?
Henry Chu did not ignore this idea.
It is right to anticipate the enemy and plan ahead.
If what he imagined did not happen, it would be a good thing.
If it happens, at least you can be prepared and not panic.
With this thought in mind, he flew all the way and finally came to the bottom of the Hanging River.
The Upside-Down River is a large river that flows from bottom to top.
The aura of the water avenue here is so dense that it is extremely terrifying, which leads to such a scene that reverses cognition and goes against common sense.
Now, from a distance, one can see swarms of dark locusts flying and rushing towards the Hanging River.
Chu Xuan looked around and found twelve cultivators.
These monks all came from Xu Ling Mountain, accepted the mission issued by the Mission Pavilion, and came to reinforce the Daoxuan River stronghold.
He also found four particularly strong figures among them.
The muscles all over his body are like rocks.
It was a member of the Yanshan War Clan.
Someone suddenly spoke up, "Isn't it possible that you all are here to reinforce the Upside-Down River stronghold?"
"Will you all obey my orders? I am a disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Immortal Palace, and my name is Zhao Chungang."
The others were initially dismissive, but when they heard that this person was a disciple of Wanxing Immortal Palace, their expressions suddenly became serious.
When I heard the name Zhao Chungang again, I couldn't help but feel a little awe.
Chu Xuan was also thoughtful.
He had previously found time to look at the Xu Ling Mountain Ranking.
This Zhao Chungang happened to be ranked 20th.
Although the Xu Ling Mountain Ranking only measures the amount of military merit, it cannot be completely linked to strength.
But if a person's military achievements can rank among the top 20 of all the out-of-body cultivators in Xu Ling Mountain, it at least shows that he is quite powerful.
"Friend Zhao, nice to meet you." Several people hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
If anyone wants to come up and touch the Immortal Alliance Order, please add your contact information.
Zhao Chungang said in a deep voice, "Rescuing people is the most important thing now. I will discuss this with you guys after we're done."
"Are those friends from the Yanshan War Clan willing to obey my orders?"
The four members of the Yanshan War Clan looked at each other.
One of the tallest members of the Yanshan War Clan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "We of the Yanshan War Clan are only willing to obey the orders of the strong, and you are one of them."
Zhao Chungang breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I have fought against the Dark Locust Sect and the Dark Locust Beasts many times and am familiar with their methods."
"They must have guessed that reinforcements would arrive, and they must have been on guard against us."
"So, we can't just charge in headfirst, or we'll fall into their trap."
"My idea is to send a few people up to harass and lure the Dark Locusts into pursuit. We'll lure as many as we can, and then wait for them to enter our encirclement, and then we'll annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"If we wipe out a group first and then attack them, the pressure will definitely be greatly reduced."
Zhao Chungang looked at everyone, "What do you think?"
The others nodded.
"That's great."
"Brother Zhao is very experienced, so I'll follow your instructions."
Henry Chu couldn't find any fault with it and nodded in agreement.
He is also happy to have some free time when someone is willing to step forward and lead the crowd.
He had no other requests, as long as he could help the Demon Body of Freedom out of trouble.
Of course, it is also possible that he guessed wrong and the Demon Body of Freedom was not here.
Although there is a connection between the main body and clone of the out-of-body cultivator, it is not strong enough to allow for precise positioning.
Soon two people volunteered, pretending to be passing by, and went to lure the dark locust.
They cast a few spells from a distance, which immediately attracted a large number of dark locusts.
It looked like there were at least thousands of them.
Thousands of dark locusts flew in together. It couldn't be said to be overwhelming, but it was still very powerful.
It was not until now that Chu Xuan saw the appearance of the Dark Locust with his own eyes.
The appearance of this evil beast is not much different from that of a locust.
But its body length is as big as an adult's forearm.
The whole body is black and yellow.
The shell on the body is extremely hard.
It can spit venom from its mouth.
What Dark Locust fears most is fire-attribute attacks.
The thing I fear least is water attribute.
Therefore, if a water-attributed spiritual weapon or spell is used to attack, it will at most leave a trace.
However, a single dark locust is very weak, only equivalent to a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage.
But the more dark locusts there are, the stronger they are.
Thousands of dark locusts can already exert strength equivalent to that of the late out-of-body stage.
If the number is tens of thousands, it is comparable to the cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm.
However, Chu Xuan and others waited for a long time while waiting for the opportunity.
As soon as these dark locusts rushed into the encirclement, they attacked one after another.
Various spells and spiritual weapons appeared.
The dark locusts wailed and fell from mid-air.
In a short while, the thousands of dark locusts were killed.
The monks' morale was boosted and they immediately charged towards the Upside-Down River.
If you don't do it now, when will you?
Those are all glorious military achievements!
Chu Xuan glanced at these dark locusts, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Things seemed to be going too smoothly.
Moreover, these dark locusts have resurrected once, so there is no guarantee that they will not come back again.
As soon as he thought about it, several nimble moths flew out from his sleeves and crawled silently in the weeds.
"I hope it's just my illusion."
He sighed inwardly and followed the crowd.
The water in the Upside-Down River flows from bottom to top.
Therefore, you only need to control the air and you can easily climb up the hanging river with the help of the water flow.
When everyone rushed up to the Hanging River, they immediately saw the corpses of the Dark Locusts lying everywhere.
Eight fallen cultivators who had reached the state of out-of-body cultivation were stationed in different directions, trying to dissolve the formation.
The monks in the stronghold relied on formations to resist.
But judging from the formation's gradually dimming appearance, it was obvious that it could not last long.
If they had arrived a few days later, all the monks trapped here would probably have died.
Chu Xuan glanced around and saw the free demon body, Mu Qingfeng, Shangguan Youlian and others, and he immediately felt relieved.
It seems there should be no surprises.
The besieged monks were cheered up when they saw this.
Some people were already seriously injured and had almost no hope of survival, but when they saw this, a gleam of light appeared in their eyes and they forced themselves to attack together.
We hope to form a pincer attack from the front and back with these reinforcements.
The fallen cultivator in the lead laughed strangely, "Another person is here to die."
"You guys continue to attack the formation. I can handle these guys who are looking for death by myself."
He waved his hand, and the dark locusts under his control immediately turned around to deal with Zhao Chungang and others.
Zhao Chungang said in a deep voice, "Do it!"
Everyone attacked at the same time, using their spiritual weapons and spells at the same time.
Various powers of different lights intertwined and collided in mid-air.
Twelve cultivators from the Tiandao Immortal Alliance were actually stopped by this one person.
And for a while, they were evenly matched.
This is the power of the fallen cultivators of the Dark Locust Sect.
As long as they have enough Dark Locusts under their command, they are equivalent to an army of one person.
But even so, it is quite difficult to fight one against twelve.
Swarms of dark locusts were blown up by the spell and fell from mid-air.
Elytra and carapace were splattered everywhere.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as they continue to drag it out, victory will still belong to them.
But life is often like this, if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen.
After a while, everyone's spiritual power decreased to varying degrees.
Some cultivators in the early stages of out-of-body experience have almost used up three-quarters of their spiritual power.
Chu Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The light-spirited moths that he had intentionally left there were now sending out warning signals.
This means that the dead dark locusts have stood up again!
No wonder these fallen cultivators of the Dark Locust Sect are always fearless.
It turns out they already had a trump card!
"It must be someone from the Dark Sun Sect hiding in the dark."
Chu Xuan performed the Sixth Level Blood Demon Handprint from a distance while releasing more Light Spirit Moths to silently explore the surroundings.
The Dark Locust Sect and the Dark Sun Sect are like two sides of the same coin.
A fallen cultivator of the Dark Locust Sect, he is skilled in raising large numbers of Dark Locusts to defend against enemies.
The key is to eat large quantities and make sure you are full.
If a thousand dark locusts can't solve the problem, then use ten thousand.
If ten thousand still can't solve the problem, then one hundred thousand or one million.
Endless dark locusts swarmed forward, wishing they could even take a bite or two of the Heavenly Dao!
The fallen cultivators of the Dark Sun Sect influence the mutation of the Dark Locust by cultivating the Dark Sun behind their heads.
They also have dark locusts on hand, but they value quality over quantity.
In addition, they also have the means to resurrect the Dark Locust, but it is said that resurrection also has limitations.
No one knows what the specific restrictions are.
However, the fallen cultivators of the Dark Sun Sect generally do not have strong combat capabilities. In other words, their strength is almost entirely reflected in the Dark Locusts.
If the dark locusts under their command were severely injured or even killed, their strength would be greatly damaged.
The opponent can take advantage of this gap to kill him.
In addition, if the fallen cultivators of the Dark Sun Sect want to resurrect the Dark Locust, they must be close.
Thinking about it this way, the fallen cultivator of the Dark Sun Sect who was hiding his head and showing his tail must be nearby and cannot be far away.
Chu Xuan stared at those easily overlooked corners, but he still couldn't find the fallen cultivator who practiced the Dark Sun Method.
At this moment, the rustling sound of dark locusts flying came from behind.
The monks were shocked to find that the dark locusts they had killed had come back to life and were charging straight towards them from behind!
Some people subconsciously turned around to resist the dark locusts.
This immediately makes it impossible to resist head-on.
The fallen cultivator in the lead sneered and slammed the black cloth bag on his waist.
In the blink of an eye, swarms of dark locusts suddenly flew out.
The same is true for the other fallen cultivators.
They had actually concealed their strength in their previous battles and had not brought out all the dark locusts at once!
As a result, the balance of victory immediately shifted dramatically.
Chu Xuan and others were surrounded by a swarm of dark locusts.
Judging from the overwhelming appearance, there are probably tens of thousands of them.
The only good news is that these dark locusts belong to different fallen cultivators.
Otherwise, if they were all under the same Fallen Cultivator's command and worked together, their strength would be no less than that of a Void Refining Cultivator!
"ah!"
A scream was heard.
A monk was hit in the back in his haste.
Swarms of dark locusts swarmed over him and gnawed him clean in an instant.
If his soul had not escaped, even his soul would have been devoured.
You know, the dark locust is, after all, a disaster beast that lives in the void.
Their attacks never just act on the physical body, but also on the soul.
Zhao Chungang took out a piece of precious jade and said in a deep voice, "Daoyou only have your primordial spirit and no power to resist. Come to me first to avoid being besieged by the dark locusts."
"Damn it…"
The monk was shocked and angry, but he could only stay in Zhao Chungang's jade temporarily.
The disciples of Wanxing Immortal Palace are still quite trustworthy.
They will not be like the disciples of the Shura Killing Realm, who say on the surface that they are giving the soul a place to rest, but in fact they are giving the soul a warm home.
The tragedy of this monk was just the beginning.
The monks who came to reinforce were originally surrounding the Dark Locust Fallen Cultivator from both sides.
In a blink of an eye, he was attacked from both sides.
More and more monks were seriously injured.
Even Zhao Chungang had one or two scars on his body.
Chu Xuan did not use his full strength, but instead moved around in the limited space, looking for the fallen cultivator of the Dark Sun Sect.
"None of these places... My feeling can't be wrong."
Henry Chu frowned deeply.
He had looked in every corner and shadow around him.
The light-spirited moths also spread out silently, without noticing anything unusual.
At this moment he suddenly reacted.
There is a place that I have neglected.
Those besieged monks!
He looked over immediately.
Soon, behind the group of monks, a guy who looked a little strange was seen.
The man was dressed in a gray robe, and on the surface, he was casting spells just like the trapped monks, but his left hand was hidden in his sleeve, and no one knew what he was doing.
Chu Xuan looked at the free demon body from afar.
Their eyes met in an instant.
The original body and the clone immediately understood each other.
The free demon body slowly moved and approached the gray-robed monk.
At a certain moment, it suddenly broke out.
The Feng Gang finger pointed directly at the back of the gray-robed monk.
Wangu City even descended from the sky, blocking the gray-robed monk's space to move.
puff!
The gray-robed monk was caught off guard and had no way to dodge. He took all the damage and vomited blood.
His breath suddenly weakened.
And at this moment, the resurrected dark locusts suddenly became slow.
The gray monk was terrified. "What are you doing? Why are you attacking me? Are you crazy?!"
Mu Qingfeng, Shangguan Youlian and other cultivators were also stunned and did not understand the intention of the free demon body.
The Devil Body of Freedom then said calmly, "You are a fallen cultivator of the Dark Sun Sect. The resurrection of those Dark Locusts is your doing."
"Now that I've severely injured you, those dark locusts have immediately slowed down."
"If I kill you, those dark locusts will die instantly."
After these words were spoken, Mu Qingfeng, Shangguan Youlian and other cultivators were greatly surprised.
Although they had only been in Xu Ling Mountain for a short time, they had already learned a lot of information about the fallen cultivators.
They also knew that the Dark Sun Sect could resurrect the Dark Locust.
However, the grudge between the Dark Sun Sect and the Dark Locust Sect is extremely deep.
There are often situations where they hinder each other and even fight.
They had not expected that the Dark Sun Sect and the Dark Locust Sect would actually cooperate.
"You...you are talking nonsense!" The gray-robed monk was furious.
The Demon Body was too lazy to talk nonsense, and Wangu City pressed down again, crushing the gray-robed monk's body on the spot.
His soul wanted to fly away, but was immediately caught by the prepared Demon Body.
Everyone looked closely.
There was a gray-black sun behind his soul!
This is exactly the manifestation of practicing the Dark Sun Method.
"It really is a fallen cultivator!"
"When did he infiltrate us?"
The monks were shocked and angry.
Thinking back carefully, they were ambushed by the resurrected Dark Locusts and had to break out in a hurry.
He didn't check the people around him carefully.
Perhaps it was at that time that the gray-robed monk took advantage of the opportunity.
The free demon body grabbed casually, and his spiritual consciousness burst out, crushing the gray-robed monk's soul on the spot.
The resurrected dark locusts immediately fell to the ground with a plop.
Real death.
"Damn it... that guy died way too quickly! The Dark Sun Sect is truly a bunch of rubbish!"
The fallen cultivator of the Dark Locust Sect who was in the lead obviously didn't expect such a scene to happen, and couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Big Brother, what should we do now?" The fallen cultivator next to him suddenly shouted.
Senior Brother Duo Xiu took a deep breath, looked at the weakest one, and said coldly, "Junior Brother Bai, you are at the lowest level and the weakest. It's time to dedicate yourself to the sect."
Junior Brother Bai's face turned pale with fear. "Brother, please don't be like this! I've worked hard for the sect and shed blood for it!"
"There must be another way!"
Senior Brother Duo Xiu shook his head, "There is no other way."
Junior Brother Bai immediately retreated violently, actually trying to escape.
However, Senior Brother Duoxiu was even faster and appeared in front of him in a flash.
Before Junior Brother Bai could react, he stretched out his big hand and dug into his dantian.
"Dark locust seeds, transform yourself into a locust!"
He growled.
The next moment, Junior Brother Bai howled miserably, and his body immediately swelled up.
In the blink of an eye, a huge dark locust rushed out from under his skin!
This giant dark locust is more than twenty feet long.
When it first came out, its shell was slightly transparent and its elytra were shriveled and ugly.
But it grows in the wind.
In just a few breaths, its body length had reached fifty feet.
The carapace has a metallic luster.
The elytra were also pulled out suddenly, and he could fly into the sky easily.
What is even more bizarre is that a human voice can be heard coming from the mouth of this giant locust.
"Brother...it hurts...it hurts so much..."
Senior Brother Duo Xiu gently stroked the giant dark locust's head and said kindly, "It's okay, the pain will go away soon."
"Kill these people in front of you, and from now on you will be the eldest brother among the fourth generation of disciples of the Dark Locust Sect."
The giant dark locust was stunned for a moment, then laughed strangely, "Big Brother... hehe... I can become Big Brother too..."
It screamed and rushed towards the crowd.
There were swarms of dark locusts swarming around him.
Senior Brother Duo Xiu took a deep look at everyone, especially Chu Xuan and the Demon Body of Freedom.
"Walk."
He growled softly, then turned and left with a group of fallen cultivators.
They have already consumed a lot of Dark Locusts, and the fallen cultivators of the Dark Sun Sect who cooperated with them have also died.
Even if we continue fighting now, we may not win.
Might as well get out of here as soon as possible.
As for Junior Brother Bai, he was the price of escape.
The four members of the Yanshan War Clan roared, condensed a huge rock burning with flames out of thin air, and threw it together, trying to stop these people from leaving.
However, the giant dark locust appeared in front of the boulder at an extremely fast speed.
His arms chopped down violently.
He actually chopped these huge rocks into pieces of stone with ease.
They could only watch helplessly as those fallen cultivators of the Dark Locust Sect escaped.
Zhao Chungang said in a low voice, "That's the Dark Locust Technique's transformation into a locust, a giant Dark Locust formed at the cost of discarding both the body and the mind."
"This giant dark locust is extremely powerful, at least equivalent to a cultivator in the late Out-of-Body Stage."
"Fellow Daoists, be careful and defend yourself. Don't let it take advantage of your weakness."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and few raised any doubts.
In the Eternal Battlefield, the disciples of the Immortal Alliance have the strongest appeal.
Because behind them is one of the six sects of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance.
Being qualified to become a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance itself proves one's own excellence.
Below the disciples of the Immortal Alliance, the strongest group is the Shanhe War Clan, who were instructed by the Ancient Emperor to transform into humans.
Further down, there are these monks from outside the mountain.
Chu Xuan took a glance and felt a little relieved.
Since the fallen cultivator of the Dark Sun Sect is dead, those fallen cultivators of the Dark Locust Sect have already fled.
With so many people besieging this giant dark locust, no matter how strong it is, it is like rootless water and its strength is limited.
There shouldn't be any surprises in the next battle.
A moment later.
boom!
The giant dark locust fell to the ground with a wail, struggled a few times and then became motionless.
No one dared to step forward.
Only Zhao Chungang held up a large shield and stepped forward to check.
"It's dead." Zhao Chungang breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone also let out a breath of air.
This battle was really full of problems.
If the fallen cultivator of the Dark Sun Sect had not died suddenly, things would have gotten out of control.
Everyone looked at the free demon body and bowed from afar.
Someone stepped forward and wanted to ask for his name and touch the Immortal Alliance Order.
Some people looked at Chu Xuan a few more times, wondering if Chu Xuan and Zizai Demon Body were twins?
Zhao Chungang looked at Chu Xuan and cupped his hands, "Thanks to fellow Daoist for identifying the fallen cultivator of the Dark Sun Sect at a glance, otherwise we would have suffered a lot of losses this time."
Chu Xuan chuckled, "Since you are a guardian cultivator, you should do the guarding work. It's only natural."
The people around them suddenly realized what was going on and asked in surprise, "Could it be the original body and its clone?"
Mu Qingfeng and Shangguan Youlian had already arrived at this time.
Both of them bowed solemnly to Chu Xuan and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Fellow Daoist Chu. This kindness will never be forgotten."
The four members of the Yanshan War Clan looked at Chu Xuan curiously for a few more times, and obviously regarded Chu Xuan as a strong man of the same level as them.
Zhao Chungang took the initiative and said, "How about we have a meeting?"
Chu Xuan nodded, "That's great."
After the order was spoken, Zhao Chungang looked surprised and asked in a voice transmission, "Daoyou's name is Chu Xuan?"
Henry Chu nodded, "Exactly."
Zhao Chungang's expression became serious, as if he had just gotten to know the person in front of him all over again.
Then he transmitted his voice again, "I am a disciple of the Taoist Master Liubu, and Dan Jieli is my junior sister."
"That's why I know the name Daoyou."
Chu Xuan laughed dumbly, "I see."
He thought to himself that this Taoist Six Diviners really had many students all over the world.
There are so many disciples?
Zhao Chungang added, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Chu, please pay attention to Jade Book Daoist Monarch and his disciples in the future."
"Especially Li Qingfeng and Qiu Lianshui."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "The disciples under Yushu Daojun...are they also members of the Wanxing Immortal Palace?"
Zhao Chungang sighed softly, "Exactly. This involves a dispute over the Celestial Palace's philosophy."
"Our master is Liuyun Tianjun, while Li Qingfeng, Qiu Lianshui and their masters are Jiefeng Tianjun."
"Jiefeng Tianjun and Liuyun Tianjun have always been at odds, but he has a very good relationship with Douzhan Tianjun of the Kunlun Sword Sect. He has always believed that the Xuanwu Seal should be taken back and should not be held by you, a cultivator who has reached the Out-of-Body Stage."
Zhao Chungang smiled bitterly, "They think that would be very dangerous and would most likely be targeted by the fallen cultivators."
"Perhaps by now, the news that you are the new master of the Xuanwu Seal has spread among the Xutian Immortal Sect."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
He wasn't surprised.
Wanxing Xian Palace is such a huge sect, it is impossible for there to be only one voice inside.
"Thank you for the reminder." Chu Xuan bowed.
Zhao Chungang didn't say anything more.
Chu Xuan brought the free demon body and returned to Xu Ling Mountain with everyone.
However, not everyone left the Upside-Down River stronghold.
There were originally four people stationed in this stronghold.
Even if the others leave, they cannot leave.
Unless you are willing to give up the rewards for your garrison mission.
There were no more accidents on the way back to Xuling Mountain.
Then he returned to the Juling Peak Mission Pavilion to collect his military merits.
This time all the trapped monks were rescued, and all the monks who accepted the task were awarded five D-level military merits.
However, the Hanging River stronghold was just one of the many strongholds attacked by the Dark Locust Sect.
There are more strongholds that have been attacked by fallen cultivators and urgently need reinforcements.
But Henry Chu didn't plan to get involved in these battles anymore.
The strength of the free demon body is still a little inferior.
He planned to improve the strength of his free demon body and intervene in these battles after reaching the late stage of out-of-body state.
Otherwise, the clone will be trapped once and it will happen a second time.
If he had to use his original body to rescue them all the time.
It would be too embarrassing to have a clone.
Before going into seclusion, Chu Xuan spent four D-level military merits to exchange for a piece of Gangfeng Lingsi from the Treasure Pavilion of Juling Peak.
This is a man-made spiritual object formed when the soul of Hedao Tianjun left his body and wandered in the void, drawing in the strong wind and condensing it into silk.
It has a great value for money.
If it were in the outside world, it would require at least five thousand large spirit stones to buy it.
But in the treasure house of Juling Peak, only four D-level military merits are needed.
After all, things are valuable because they are rare.
Gangfeng Lingsi is not a rare thing here.
Chu Xuan looked at the things that Dongxu clone brought back from the void and couldn't help but marvel at it.
"I didn't expect that the Dongxu clone is almost turning into a treasure-hunting rat."
Six days have passed since the battle at the Daoxuan River stronghold.
He has not entered the battlefield these days, but has been practicing in the cave.
During these days, Dongxu's clone has been in the void, avoiding the sight of those ancient beasts and comprehending the great Dao.
By the way, pick up some treasures that are easily available.
Now I'm back.
As soon as he came back, he brought Henry Chu a big surprise.
A jar of Hunyuan Yunling Juice!
This thing is a rare treasure even for a cultivator in the Void Refining stage.
Because it can directly make the spiritual weapon spiritual!
Just soak it in for a few days and spirituality will emerge naturally.
Chu Xuan had seen the selling price of Hunyuan Yunling Juice in the Treasure Pavilion of Juling Peak.
It takes two Class C combat merits to obtain one pound of Hunyuan Yunlingjiang.
Equivalent to two hundred thousand large spirit stones.
But it has always been in a state of being priced but not sold.
Whenever the Treasure Pavilion has Hunyuan Yunling Juice for sale, it will immediately be exchanged by the Lianxu cultivators who have been waiting for a long time.
The slow-handed cultivators of the Void Refining Realm couldn't even see it.
Not to mention the monks who have reached the orifice.
After all, even the cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage may not have a spiritual treasure.
How can a cultivator who has reached the out-of-body stage compete with a cultivator who has reached the void-refining stage?
However, the jar of Hunyuan Yunling Juice in front of Chu Xuan weighed at least three kilograms.
It's equivalent to six Class C military merits!
Because of this, Henry Chu was particularly surprised.
It is indeed a very wise decision to refine such an avatar as soon as possible that can travel through the void at any time!
There are many treasures in the void, but they are scattered everywhere and it takes time to find them.
Even if the soul of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm leaves his body to search for it, he still has to use the Deliverance Pill to protect his soul from being eroded by the void.
Once there are not enough elixirs such as the Deliverance Pill, you must quickly retrieve your soul.
But the Dongxu clone can travel in the void at any time.
The probability of obtaining treasures is naturally much greater than that of a cultivator in the Void Refining Realm.
I will definitely be able to give him a big surprise from time to time in the future.
Chu Xuan took out all the spiritual weapons at once and looked at them with joy on his face.
Among his spiritual weapons, the Cloud-Piercing Bow has already been nurtured with spirituality with the help of the Immortal-Fixing Plate. In the future, as long as it is refined with various spiritual ores step by step to improve it, it will surely become a spiritual treasure.
After the Soul-Killing Lock was refined with the spiritual dark fairy lacquer, it also became spiritual and was not far from being a spiritual treasure.
After much deliberation, he chose Yin Yang.
He had taken this spiritual weapon from Master Bai Gu during the Shattered Star Sea.
After that, it always stays by his side, and he can often refine powerful skeletons, and its power never decreases.
When he experienced the disaster of the Nether Mist before, he also accidentally obtained the Phantom Iron and Pure Yang Gold.
Later, dragon bones were refined into it.
After doing this several times, it has reached the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon.
Now, if it is soaked in the Hunyuan Yunling Juice to nurture spirituality, it will probably become the first upgraded spiritual treasure in his hands!
"With a spiritual treasure in hand, my strength will soar significantly."
"When that day comes, I'm afraid there will be no one to rival me below the level of Refined Void."
Thinking of this, he immediately put Yin and Yang into the Hunyuan Yunling Juice.
This is the advantage of having many spiritual weapons on hand.
The Yin-Yang Seal cannot be used temporarily, but spiritual weapons such as Qiankun City, Wangu City, and Shahun Lock can still be used.
Otherwise, if only Yin and Yang seize a spiritual weapon, once it is damaged, their own strength will be reduced by half.
Chu Xuan casually placed the jar in the Water Curtain Cave on the Aquamarine Star.
Putting it there can also speed up the development of spirituality.
He said with satisfaction, "Next, we just have to wait."
…
Xutian Immortal Sect, Holy Dao Palace.
A thin figure walked quickly over and half-knelt under the throne.
His name is Huang Chong, a Hedao monk and the number one in the Dark Locust Sect.
He said respectfully, "Master, I'm back."
Miexian asked casually, "What are the results of the battle?"
Huang Chong said in a deep voice, "In total, we captured eleven strongholds, seized more than three thousand great spiritual objects, and killed more than thirty monks from outside the mountain."
"We also captured a disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace who had reached the Out-of-Body Stage, but unfortunately, he self-destructed his soul."
Miexian nodded slightly, "This is the task I assigned to you."
Huang Chong said awkwardly, "Master, are you talking about the new master of the Xuanwu Seal?"
"Huang's men are incompetent. They couldn't even force out his Xuanwu Seal."
"Because of this matter, the old woman from the Dark Sun Sect has been giving me trouble."
"They say a fourth-generation disciple of her Dark Sun sect has died, and they demand an explanation from me. This..."
Miexian said calmly, "The Dark Sun Sect has always had few members. Please give way to her."
"From now on, the Dark Sun Sect and the Dark Locust Sect will often act together. You are all under my command. We will meet each other sooner or later. There's no need to make things awkward."
Huang Chong was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "It's the Supreme..."
Miexian nodded lightly.
Huang Chong nodded, "I understand."
"As for the new owner of the Black Tortoise Seal, I will make arrangements and make sure he is put in danger."
"By then, it will be clear whether he is bait or fish."
Miexian nodded, "You are my direct descendant. I trust you for this little matter."
Huang Chong bowed again and said, "Master, I have been practicing the Dark Locust Technique recently and there are some things I don't understand. I hope you can give me some guidance."
Miexian nodded casually, "Tell me now."
A moment later, Huang Chong walked out of the Shengdao Palace with satisfaction.
He looked back at the towering Holy Dao Palace, and his deep awe for the Immortal Destroyer only grew.
Every time he encountered difficulties in practicing the Dark Locust Technique and asked Miexian for help, he could easily get answers.
He is worthy of being the peerless powerful one who has mastered four sacred methods and perfected twenty-one sacred methods, and has overwhelmed all the heavenly monarchs of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance.
"My original decision to follow him was indeed correct. The leader will surely reshape the world and become the next Heavenly Lord who transcends tribulation!"
"By then, followers like me will also be able to benefit from it!"
Huang Chong was in high spirits and left the Holy Palace with his subordinates.
Not long after Huang Chong left, another figure came to the Holy Dao Palace.
This is a woman with a bloated figure.
A gray-black sun was floating behind his head.
The woman walked into the Holy Dao Palace with small steps and half-knelt down in front of Miexian.
"Zheng Aeyue of the Dark Sun Sect pays homage to the leader."
"I wonder why the leader called me here?"
The voice that came out of her mouth was delicate and gentle, which was in stark contrast to her bloated and fat body.
However, there was a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
Ten thousand years ago, before Miexian truly took charge of the Xutian Immortal Sect, she had spoken wildly in front of monks from other sects several times.
They said that Miexian was just a clone and was not qualified to be their leader.
Later, Miexian proved himself with his strength and skills.
No one dared to say a word anymore.
All sects respect Miexian as the leader of Xutian Immortal Sect, who commands all holy cultivators.
During these ten thousand years, Zheng Aeyue did not dare to meet Miexian.
This was their first official meeting.
If Mixian hadn't specifically asked to see her, she would never have come.
After all, the pressure of destroying immortals is too great.
Even though they are both Hedao monks, there is still a gap between them.
To put it bluntly, with a person as powerful as her, even ten of them might not be a match for Mixian.
Miexian smiled and said, "Welcome back."
Zheng Aeyue smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, Master, for not holding grudges against us."
She knew that Miexian hated it most when people said he was just a clone.
Almost all those who had said this to her face are dead except her.
There are very few survivors.
The only reason she was alive until now was because she was lucky enough to hide in a place where Mixian couldn't find her.
After Miexian officially became the leader of the Xutian Immortal Sect, her murderous intent subsided and she returned to the Anri Sect.
Hearing this, Miexian just smiled and said, "That was all ten thousand years ago. I am not a petty person."
"However, from now on, the Dark Sun Sect must follow my orders and obey them. Are you willing to obey?"
Zheng Aeyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I'm willing to obey! Everyone in the Dark Sun Sect will definitely obey!"
Miexian nodded, "That's very good."
"Go back. If there is anything important, I will notify you."
"Yes." Zheng Aeyue bowed and hurriedly left the Shengdao Palace.
If she stayed here any longer, she felt that she would be crushed to death by the mountain at any time.
After Zheng Eyue left far away, Miexian's eyes gradually became cold.
Those who had told him to his face that he was just an avatar had all died at his hands.
If the four Holy Dao Heavenly Lords had not intervened, Zheng Aoyue would have died.
But now, if he wants to unify the various sects, he cannot act arbitrarily.
"Including the Dark Sun Sect, I only control three sects. There are many more sects that are beyond my control."
"If I can't completely unify it, my title as the leader of the Xutian Immortal Sect will ultimately be nothing more than an empty title."
"To achieve my goal, I must integrate all my forces..."
Miexian slowly stood up and put his hands behind his back.
He looked upwards at the dome of the Holy Dao Palace.
But it was as if he had penetrated the dome and was looking into the endless void.
It seemed as if he was gazing at the four Holy Dao Heavenly Lords wandering in the depths of the void.
It seems like he is looking at something else.
No one ever knew that his goal was never to transcend the tribulation halfway or to transcend the tribulation heavenly master.
It's an immortal.
The immortal who transcends tribulation!
…
One year later.
Lingyun Valley.
Chu Xuan walked out of the cave in a happy mood.
His physical realm has improved further and has reached the fifty-eighth level of body refinement.
The free demon body has completely refined the Gangfeng spiritual silk, and its cultivation has also improved. It has now reached the late stage of out-of-body experience.
Chu Xuan was very satisfied with this speed of cultivation.
Because in this way, the free demon body can go out and complete tasks again.
At this moment, he had an idea and stretched out his hand.
A pair of dragon claws flew out from the Qiankun bag and slowly circled around him.
The black dragon claws look like black light.
The white dragon claws are like snow shadows.
One black and one white, just like yin and yang, with countless changes.
Moreover, the surface of the Yin Yang Sword is now covered with a layer of bright and translucent light, which is far better than before.
"After ten years, it has finally transformed into a spiritual treasure."
Chu Xuan gently stroked the Yin Yang and sighed.
Some even can't put it down.
Yin Yang Duo has been immersed in the Hunyuan Yunling Liquid for ten years, and now he has finally succeeded in giving birth to spirituality.
It is a top-grade spiritual weapon.
With spirituality, one will naturally take another step forward and enter the ranks of spiritual treasures.
From now on, it is a low-grade spiritual treasure.
Looking at the monks who have reached the state of out-of-body experience, few can possess a spiritual treasure.
In the future, Yin Yang can be said to be the strongest trump card.
Once it is revealed, no one can match it except Lianxu.
But you also have to make sure that the attack is fatal.
Otherwise, the fact that he possessed the spiritual treasure would definitely be spread.
There are many people who would take advantage of him.
There will definitely be some Void Refining cultivators among them.
It is indeed shameless to try to seize the treasures of a cultivator with the cultivation level of Lianxu and will be looked down upon by others.
But if the treasure obtained is a spiritual treasure.
Then it doesn't matter if someone points fingers at your spine and scolds you a few times.
When you become stronger, there will be people who will debate with you.
What is the saying "An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure."
Something like taking it away is for better protection.
Chu Xuan was about to go out for a walk to understand the current situation when he suddenly noticed that the Mirror of the Heavens was vibrating slightly.
He looked inward at the ocean in his dantian and suddenly realized that it was Chenxi who sent him the anxious thoughts.
"The cave world is inside the giant insect's body. What other unusual movements could there be?"
Chu Xuan frowned slightly, took a step forward, and went into the giant insect's body through the Mirror of the Heavens.
Directly in front of him was the place that was discovered by the insect swarm under Chenxi long ago.
A psychic cube wrapped in countless rocks.
Of course, he already knew that these things that looked like rocks were actually the flesh and blood tissue inside the giant worm.
If they get too close to the psychic cube, these flesh tentacles will automatically attack and drive them away.
Chu Xuan hadn't found any way to deal with these tentacles, so he kept putting it aside.
Now when he came here again, he was shocked to find that these originally motionless flesh tentacles had begun to come alive.
The desire to attack is extremely strong.
Chu Xuan had drawn a line before, and as long as you were outside the line, you would not be attacked.
But now, he was still more than 200 meters away from the line and was attacked by flesh and blood tentacles.
Chenxi and Tianku also floated beside Chu Xuan.
Chenxi looked very worried.
Tianku still looked lazy.
"What happened?" Chu Xuan frowned deeply.
At this moment, Chenxi suddenly hummed softly and came close to Chu Xuan.
The little claws gently touched Henry Chu's eyebrows.
In an instant, Chu Xuan saw a scene.
A small hole appeared in the sky.
It seems that I can see the starry sky outside.
Countless flesh and blood tissues were thrown out at this moment.
A green figure with flowers growing on its head and joints jumped in from the small hole and appeared in the sight of the swarm of insects.
Then quickly filled the small hole.
"Outsider?" Chu Xuan was greatly surprised.
This outsider actually broke the giant insect's shell and entered its interior!
He suddenly looked at the violent flesh tentacles.
It seems that we have the answer to why they are so irritable.
Henry Chu seemed to be thinking about something, "Let's test this outsider first to see his strength."
Chenxi nodded immediately.
A large number of insect swarms were sent to besiege the outsiders.
And through the other poisonous insects, the battle scene was broadcast to Chu Xuan in real time.
After a while, Henry Chu came to a conclusion.
The strength of this outsider is roughly equivalent to that of a monk who has reached the out-of-body state.
If divided according to the levels of the psychic world, it can reach the upper level of the Sichuan level.
He can still handle this kind of strength easily.
In fact, the sea-level masters in the psychic world are equivalent to degraded versions of the Void Refining Monks.
With Chu Xuan's current combat power, he can also handle it.
Henry Chu immediately said, "Let's go and meet him."
A moment later, Henry Chu saw the outsider.
The latter seemed particularly surprised, and a bunch of gibberish popped out of his mouth.
After a while, he finally spoke in the not-so-standard Yanhan Empire dialect, "Sorry, that was my hometown dialect just now. I was so surprised to see a living person."
"Excuse me, are you... a member of the Yan tribe?"
The man with the flower on his head seemed very happy. Before Chu Xuan could speak, he continued, "Let me introduce myself. I am from the Ye clan and a member of the ancient order. My code name is Hua Zuo."
"What you are seeing now is one of my pollen clones."
Henry Chu was a little surprised.
Flower seat?
He had heard the name before.
Almost a hundred years ago, Yifeng, a top-ranking member of the ancient order, crashed on Planet Aquamarine.
Yifeng thought he was a sea-level hermit living outside the Milky Way and told him many details about the ancient order.
He was also invited to join the ancient order.
Yifeng's mission at that time was to deliver a psychic octahedron to a sea-level ancient.
However, the mission could not be continued, so he drifted in the starry sky and accidentally discovered the Aquamarine Planet.
Now the psychic octahedron is still with him.
The code name of that sea-level ancient is Hua Zuo.
In addition, Yifeng also mentioned six other sea-level ancients.
This is all public information and is not a secret.
Because of this, Chu Xuan was slightly surprised when he saw this flower stand.
Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, they actually met each other.
"Yan Clan, how should I address you?"
"Why are you inside this dead giant snake?"
"How come you don't get attacked by these little bugs?"
"Your psychic power is so strong, it seems to be on the same level as my original body. Are you also a sea-level psychic?"
Hua Zuo looked at Chu Xuan curiously, asking questions one after another like a machine gun.
Chu Xuan laughed dumbly, "Call me Xuan."
"As for the other questions, don't worry, I will answer you slowly."
After a moment, Hua Zuo got Henry Chu's answer and looked shocked.
"This is just one of your clones? You are so amazing!"
Henry Chu nodded, "I have clones on every planet, this is just one of them."
"When my clone was traveling through the starry sky, it was accidentally sucked in by this giant insect and has not been able to get out until today."
"These little bugs are the ones I bred. They attacked you just now. I'm sorry."
Hua Zuo waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay. To you, I'm the outsider."
"If a stranger suddenly breaks into the house, the children will definitely instinctively attack. I can understand that."
Henry Chu smiled, "However, I am very curious about your pollen clone. Can you explain it to me?"
Hua Zuo nodded, "I am from the Leaf Clan. You should know that Leaf Clan members basically only have leaves, and very few can grow flowers."
"I am that special Leaf Clan member."
"And I can also self-pollinate, you see..."
As he spoke, he demonstrated to Henry Chu with great interest, "My pistil and stamen are very close to each other. With a slight shake, the pollen can fall onto the stigma of this flower."
"Every time the closed flower is fertilized, I can reproduce a new me."
"However, the quality of this pollen is very average, and the clones produced from it will not be very powerful."
Henry Chu was surprised to hear this.
No wonder this flower stand gave him a strange feeling.
She has a graceful figure and exquisite curves, like a female.
The voice was quite strong, like a masculine one.
It turns out that she is a hermaphrodite!
Hua Zuo gave a bitter laugh and said dejectedly, "However, I don't have much pollen. It takes a long time to breed a pollen clone each time."
"Before that, we were besieged by several turbid demons and lost a pollen clone."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that this is how you extend your life?"
Hua Zuo nodded, not shying away from the question, "You guessed it right. Each of me is a brand new me, but I can also inherit the memories of the past."
"Every Ancient of the Ancient Order must have a means to continue their life."
"This is the most basic threshold to becoming an ancient."
Chu Xuan continued, "By the way, you just said that this giant insect is called Dashe? Can you tell me more about it?"
Hua Zuo nodded. "This kind of giant insect is very rare. It is said to be an ancient giant beast that survived from the previous era."
"When the Emerald King's Court was first established, giant toads roamed the starry sky."
"I was looking for a place to eat in the starry sky and stumbled upon this dead giant toad."
"I remember the records in the ancient order's archives that even if a giant snake died, the biological tissues in its body would not die immediately. Instead, they would continue to remain active, and it would take nearly a thousand years for it to truly die."
"So I thought I'd come in and get something to eat."
"I didn't expect to meet you."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding.
The two chatted for a while.
Chu Xuan quickly discovered the characteristics of this flower stand.
His expression was beyond words.
Whether it is happiness, frustration, or anger, it will be immediately shown on the face.
And there is no middle ground sentiment.
Their emotional expressions are very exaggerated.
Hua Zuo seemed to have noticed Henry Chu's feelings, and lowered his head in shame, saying guiltily, "I'm sorry, we Ye people have always been like this."
"Emotions are expressed on the face, not hidden in the heart."
"Although I am special, I am still a member of the Ye tribe after all."
"I'm relatively okay. My ignorant tribesmen's emotions are even more exaggerated."
"They love to yell the most, and their usual catchphrase is 'wow wow wow wow!'"
Henry Chu chuckled.
He didn't know much about the Ye people, so he really didn't know these things.
After saying this, Hua Zuo laughed, "You are also very special, with an elegant temperament, and you speak in that ancient tone."
"So I felt at first glance that you must be a member of the Yan tribe who survived the Yanhan Dynasty."
Chu Xuan laughed and said nothing.
Hua Zuo couldn't help but say, "Xuan, I can feel the surging energy in your body from such a distance. You are a strong person. Are you willing to join our ancient order?"
Henry Chu laughed dumbly, "Do people in ancient monastic orders like to recruit people to join the order?"
"In fact, I am already a member of the ancient order."
As he spoke, he showed Yifeng's emblem.
Hua Zuo was stunned and took it to examine it carefully.
Chu Xuan slowly told the story of Yi Feng, but concealed the part about the Blue Sea Star.
He also took out the psychic octahedron and said, "It's time to return this thing to its original owner."
There seemed to be a shackle on this psychic octahedron, and he was unable to use the psychic energy in it for his own use, so he simply gave it to Hua Zuo.
"That was over a hundred years ago," Hua Zuo said in surprise, "It seems you are also an ancient one."
Hua Zuo stepped forward, took the Psychic Octahedron, and sighed, "I don't know how many teams have been killed in order to deliver the news of the hidden location."
"Yifeng is lucky to meet you."
"But in that case, you are one of us."
"It seems I'm quite lucky. I stumbled upon one of our own outside the Milky Way."
"A secret hiding place?" Chu Xuan asked curiously.
Hua Zuo nodded. "My main mission when I came to the outer reaches of the Milky Way was to search for the remains of the Yanhan Dynasty and, by the way, to recover those psychic cubes that were contaminated by the power of chaos."
"This spiritual octahedron records the location of a large relic of the Yanhan Dynasty."
After listening to this, Henry Chu nodded slightly, feeling a little emotional.
It seems that the ancient order is really consistent and has never changed its original intention.
Let's not talk about others, just talk about this flower stand.
He risked his life to leave the Milky Way just to search for the remains of the Yanhan Dynasty and discover those ancient psychic technologies.
They have lost contact with the ancient order for over two hundred years, but still have no intention of returning.
If it is replaced by the world of immortal cultivation.
It is equivalent to a cultivator with extraordinary qualifications who abandons the generous treatment prepared for him by the sect, risks his life to travel through those ancient ruins, and fights with ferocious monsters, just to find his own way.
Such people are worthy of admiration no matter where they are.
Gurgle...
A strange sound was heard.
Hua Zuo smiled awkwardly, "Xuan, can you take me to eat something? I'm so hungry."
Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "Come with me."
A moment later, the two arrived at the place where the flesh and tentacles were restless.
Perhaps because the giant snake's skin has healed, these flesh and blood tentacles have calmed down a lot.
When Hua Zuo saw the thing wrapped in countless flesh and blood tentacles but still emitting blue light, his eyes lit up.
"I was wondering why this giant snake should have been dead for a long time, but it's still alive. It turns out it's because of a piece of the psychic decahedron."
Hua Zuo didn't say any more and walked up quickly.
One of the flesh tentacles sensed a living person approaching and immediately pulled forward.
The flower seat was well prepared, and the flowers above it immediately released a large amount of pollen forward.
When the fleshy tentacles came into contact with the pollen, their lightning-fast movements suddenly became sluggish.
Finally, he collapsed to the ground.
Hua Zuo then stepped forward.
His right leg quickly deformed into a root, which penetrated into the flesh and blood tentacles to absorb nutrients.
Chu Xuan found this method quite interesting.
Is this how the Ye people obtain nutrition?
It's very similar to plants.
He also observed that the flower seat absorbed nutrients from the flesh and blood tentacles.
The green color on its body gradually changed.
It was a bit shriveled and yellow-green in color.
Now it is lush, green, full and upright.
In addition, small flowers and buds grew on the top of the head and at various joints.
That seems to be how the flower seat stores energy.
After a while, Hua Zuo let out a contented sigh and retracted his right leg.
"It's worthy of being a giant insect that survived the previous era. It's so delicious..." he exclaimed.
Chu Xuan nodded in agreement.
If it didn't taste good, why would the white jade turtle run away with him?
He asked casually, "Do you have any way to take back this Psychic Decahedron?"
Hua Zuo shook his head. "It's too difficult. The body of the Great Flood Monster has grown together with the Psychic Decahedron. Taking it away by force will definitely cause a fierce counterattack."
"I should go back now. My mission this time has been completed. Xuan, are you willing to come with me?"
"I think the Secret Master and the others will be very happy that the Ancient Order has welcomed its eighth Ancient One."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Henry Chu with a bright gaze, as if he was looking forward to it.
Meeting his gaze, Chu Xuan shook his head.
"I'm used to living alone."
"Also, when I was dormant, my clones were lost in various places. I have to find them one by one."
Of course he understood Hua Zuo's thoughts.
The enemies faced by the ancient order are very terrible, and they need to unite all the forces that can be united.
He is such a strong man here.
Hua Zuo will definitely invite him to join.
If there is no sufficient reason, it may be difficult to refuse.
"I see..." Hanaza sighed regretfully.
He rummaged through the flowers above his head and pulled out a coat of arms.
"This is my coat of arms. I'll give it to you."
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, take this emblem to any of the ancient order's strongholds, and they will provide you with assistance."
"Even if you are from the Yanhan Empire, you have to give me some face."
"Well... forget about the Ye clan. In the eyes of my ignorant fellow clansmen, I am actually an alien."
After he finished speaking, he muttered, "But I think with your strength, you shouldn't encounter any difficult problems..."
Henry Chu chuckled and accepted it, "Thank you."
"If you have time, could you tell me more about the Leaf Clan and other tribes? I rarely come into contact with them."
"Also, I'm also interested in information about Chaos."
Hua Zuo nodded repeatedly and said cheerfully, "Of course! I love talking to people the most!"
Two hours later, Hua Zuo returned along the original route and left Dayu.
Chu Xuan's mind now contained many more details about the various races in the psychic world.
The ancients indeed knew much more than ordinary people.
He also got two things from Hua Zuo.
First, it is the secret of breeding pollen clones.
Maybe I can try to make my own pollen clone.
But he didn't hold out much hope for that.
After all, the flower seat is hermaphroditic and self-pollinating.
He doesn't have such means.
The second is the method to get out of the big cave.
Just as he guessed, Hua Zuo did not use brute force to open the skin of the giant water monster and enter its body.
Instead, he used venom to dissolve a small hole before entering the interior.
According to Hua Zuo, the skin of the giant water monster is very tough. The Emerald Royal Court once wanted to capture the giant water monster for research, but in the end they didn't even scratch its skin.
However, the Ancient Order has amassed a vast collection of ancient texts, some of which date back to a time before the Emerald Court.
From the classics of those times, Hua Zuo discovered a poisonous weed called "Nine Needle Grass".
The liquid extracted from it can dissolve the skin of the giant water snake.
But it can only dissolve a little bit.
In order to cause huge damage to the giant snake, it would probably take tens of billions of tons of nine-needle grass venom.
The Leaf Clan is an intelligent life form evolved from plants, and they are almost born experts in making poisons and medicines.
Huazuo is the best among them.
After Chu Xuan made his request, Hua Zuo did not hesitate and directly gave him a bag of nine-needle grass seeds and a bottle of nine-needle grass poison.
"I've never seen a giant water monster before. Now that I have the chance, I'll go out and see what it looks like."
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan stepped into the air and flew towards the highest dome.
After a while, he came to a place where he could not go any higher.
Floating in this place, looking down.
As far as the eye can see, there are domes and mountains that look just like rocks.
Who could have guessed that these were actually the flesh and blood tissues inside a giant insect.
And it was a dead giant insect.
Chu Xuan used his spiritual power to wrap the Nine Needle Grass Poison in the air and smeared it on the surface of the dome.
After a while, the outer skin began to rot and dissolve.
Bits of starlight came through the small hole.
When the hole was small enough for one person to pass through, Chu Xuan immediately crawled out.
He looked back and found that he had emerged from a huge black object.
Looking left and right, there is no end in sight.
