Time flies.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two years, Chu Xuan and the Free Demon Body traveled together to carry out missions.
From time to time, he would return to Lingyun Valley to refine the Nine-Needle Grass Poison and sell it.
After repeated optimization, the Nine Needle Grass Poison can now exert excellent effects on the perfect out-of-body disaster beasts, and its toxicity is far greater than before.
The price naturally went up as well.
In this way, military merits are accumulated at a rapid rate.
During this period, Chu Xuan also seized the opportunity to snipe and kill a fallen cultivator in the early stage of Lianxu from the Mingwu Sect.
The distance to the 111 Class C battle merits required to exchange for three taels of green jade fairy mud is getting closer and closer.
Of course, his ranking on the Xu Ling Mountain list is also rising day by day.
After two years, he had accumulated ninety-one points and reached the third place on the Earth Ranking.
Only Zhan Wuxiu and Zhao Longxiang were left in front.
Of these two people, one was promoted to 1B and 10C, and the other was promoted to 93C.
Obviously, it has not stood still.
This steady rate of improvement made many cultivators on the Earth Ranking feel ashamed.
It has been difficult for them to get promoted over the years.
This Chu Xuan has been rising steadily since he came to Xu Ling Mountain.
Now he is even about to surpass Zhao Longxiang, who is ranked second on the Earth List.
…
Changle Teahouse.
Zhao Longxiong, Zhao Chungang, Chu Xuanji, Dan Jieli and other senior brothers and sisters from Wanxing Immortal Palace gathered in the private room.
As they chatted, they talked about Henry Chu.
"...Speaking of Fellow Daoist Chu, I really admire him. Originally, I wanted to compete with him for a ranking, but now I don't want to compete at all. He has already left me behind." Zhao Chungang smiled helplessly.
Chu Xuanji smiled, "Junior Brother Chungang, don't even think about it. Fortunately, the eldest brother can still suppress Chu Xuan steadily."
"Otherwise, if the disciples of our Wanxing Immortal Palace were crushed by cultivators from outside the mountain, it would be too shameful if this matter were to spread."
Zhao Longxiong took a sip of tea and shook his head. "With Chu Xuan's strength, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses me."
Zhao Chungang and Chu Xuanji were both a little surprised. They didn't expect the senior brother to say that.
Zhao Longxiong said in a deep voice, "I don't have any basis for this, but I just have this intuition."
"After all, my two clones and I were out taking on missions, and with the help of my fellow disciples from the Myriad Stars Palace, we were still no match for his original form and just one clone."
Zhao Chungang scratched his head. "Chu Xuan also has the Nine Needles Grass Poison business, so it's normal that his combat merits are improving so quickly."
Dan Jieli, who is usually lively, is now silent.
She didn't know what to say.
That day, Grandmaster Liu Yun Tianjun met with Chu Xuan in person, and she was right beside him.
Her master Liubu Daojun said in person that Chu Xuan had reached the 61st level of body refinement, and she also heard it with her own ears.
With such strength, Chu Xuan can already kill the Lianxu Disaster Beast and the Fallen Cultivator.
Killing one person means one C.
It is indeed only a matter of time before I surpass my senior brother.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside.
Then, Henry Chu strode into the private room and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I'm late."
Zhang Yuting also followed in and closed the door.
Everyone sat down happily and drank tea.
They have a good relationship and get together every once in a while.
You can exchange your insights on cultivation and share what you have.
Chu Xuan was also happy to participate in this kind of gathering.
For him, this is also a way to obtain intelligence.
Everyone chatted for a while.
Zhao Chungang suddenly cried out in surprise, "Fuck! Chu Xuan, how did you surpass Longxiong?"
Zhao Longxiong and Chu Xuanji were also stunned and subconsciously looked at the Immortal Alliance Order.
After a few breaths, they also looked at Chu Xuan with surprised expressions.
On the Xu Ling Mountain list displayed by the Immortal Alliance Order, Chu Xuan's total combat merits have reached ninety-four.
Surpassed Zhao Longxiang, whose total military merits were 93 points.
Zhao Longxiang gave a bitter laugh, "I originally thought I could hold on for another month or so as second place, but I didn't expect..."
Henry Chu smiled, "It should be that the clone completed the task, so he added so much in one go."
"What kind of mission is it that has such a generous reward?" Zhao Chungang asked in confusion.
Henry Chu smiled, "Forty tasks."
Zhao Chungang, "..."
Chu Xuanji also smacked his lips, "Take on forty tasks at a time...Fellow Daoist Chu, just roll up your sleeves."
This little episode did not interrupt the atmosphere, and everyone soon started chatting with each other.
As they talked, they naturally started talking about the most important thing for a cultivator who had achieved out-of-body enlightenment.
Impact on the refining of emptiness!
"Senior Brother, you have been in the state of out-of-body experience for many years, and you should have accumulated enough spiritual objects. Why haven't you made the breakthrough to the realm of refining emptiness yet?" Dan Jieli asked curiously.
Zhao Longxiang shook his head. "It's difficult. Master said that I'm lacking in merit and asked me to accumulate more merit before I can make the breakthrough."
"Also, I want to accumulate enough military merit to exchange for mid-grade Dao spiritual objects, rather than using low-grade Dao spiritual objects."
The others nodded.
They are also well aware of this.
Lifespan is the prerequisite for reaching a higher level.
How can we waste it on refining low-grade spiritual objects?
Zhao Longxiong sighed softly as he spoke, "Also, something unexpected happened. The great spiritual object that was most suitable for me to break through to the Void Refining Realm was transferred away by a Heavenly Monarch in advance."
Chu Xuanji raised an eyebrow, "Fighting Lord Tianjun?"
Zhao Longxiong nodded, "Yes, I heard that the Heavenly Monarch took away many great spiritual objects, apparently in order to refine an extremely powerful flying sword."
"I've heard from my master that if it succeeds, it's very likely that the product will be at the level of a minor Dao treasure."
Everyone was surprised.
They also heard about the fact that Lord Douzhan had requisitioned a large number of spiritual objects.
I didn't expect that it was for refining a small Taoist treasure.
Lingbao is used by the Taoist Master Lianxu.
Dao tools can be used for one's own benefit with the help of the Dao, and are used by the Heavenly Lord who is in harmony with the Dao.
Above the Taoist instruments are the Taoist treasures, which can only be activated by the Heavenly Lord who has transcended tribulation.
A small Taoist treasure is between a Taoist weapon and a Taoist treasure.
To put it more clearly, it is actually still a top-grade Taoist weapon, but it already has some of the attributes of a Taoist treasure.
Very few Hedao Tianjun can control a small Taoist treasure.
If Douzhan Tianjun can refine it, he will undoubtedly become one of the strongest Tianjuns in the Tiandao Immortal Alliance!
"If it can be truly refined, it will be a great blessing for the Tiandao Immortal Alliance and the entire human race. It will just delay our advancement to the Lianxu realm." Zhao Longxiang sighed.
Chu Xuanji also sighed and nodded.
Zhao Chungang was somewhat indignant, "The Kunlun Sword Sect has always been so overbearing."
"Who knows if Douzhan Tianjun will become the next Mingjian Tianjun!"
Zhao Longxiong's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, be careful with your words!"
Chu Xuanji also kicked Zhao Chungang, signaling him to shut up.
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He had also heard of Mingjian Tianjun.
Three thousand years ago, Mingjian Tianjun appeared out of nowhere. Like Douzhan Tianjun, he had unparalleled talent and dominated the world.
In order to overcome the tribulation, Mingjian Tianjun mobilized a large number of spiritual objects from heaven, and the six Tianzuns who were overcoming the tribulation seemed to acquiesce.
The Heavenly Kings of the other five sects had to give way and temporarily give up their cultivation.
As a result, Mingjian Tianjun failed to survive the tribulation and turned into ashes.
It is said that even Jianzun and Qingtianzun who came to protect him personally were unable to rescue Mingjian Tianjun.
Many people speculated that the involvement of a fallen cultivator must have caused Mingjian Tianjun's failure to overcome the tribulation.
But such a huge amount of resources were invested in one person, but ended up being wasted.
Even if many people don't say anything on the surface, they still feel resentful in their hearts.
Zhao Chungang's words clearly showed that he felt that Lord Douzhan might repeat the same mistakes as Lord Mingjian.
"Fighting Heavenly Monarch..."
Chu Xuan muttered the name and suddenly remembered the green jade fairy mud he needed.
He sent a voice message to Zhang Yuting, "It should be almost time for the Green Jade Cave to produce Green Jade Immortal Mud, right?"
Zhang Yuting calculated with his fingers and nodded, "Roughly today and tomorrow."
Chu Xuan simply took out the Immortal Alliance Order and stared closely at the entry of the Juling Peak Treasure Pavilion.
The others began to share their insights into enlightenment.
Chu Xuan would chime in when he had nothing to do, and talk to them in simple terms.
However, two days passed.
The amount of green jade fairy mud is still zero.
His brows gradually furrowed.
Douzhan Tianjun should have obtained enough green jade fairy mud, so it is impossible for him to take more.
You know, the next time the Green Jade Cave produces Green Jade Fairy Mud will be more than a hundred years later!
Zhang Yuting's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he transmitted a message, "The latest battle report is that the Dark Mist Sect has invaded the Green Jade Cave in large numbers, and all the Green Jade Immortal Mud has been impounded."
Chu Xuan frowned violently.
The situation in Qingyu Cave is rather special.
He knew this early on.
The Qingyu Cave has been fought over many times by the Tiandao Immortal Alliance and the Xutian Immortal Sect, and neither side has been able to completely seize it.
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement.
The green jade fairy mud produced in the Green Jade Cave every hundred years is divided into five parts. The local jade clan gets one part, and two parts of green jade fairy mud are provided to the Tiandao Fairy Alliance and the Xutian Fairy Sect respectively.
It has been like this for tens of thousands of years.
I didn't expect that the Xutian Immortal Sect would suddenly take such action this time.
If this agreement is to be broken, at least one fallen cultivator of Hedao will die.
How dare the Dark Mist Sect tear it down?
Are you fully prepared?
He sighed inwardly.
It seems that I am still unlucky.
How could such a thing happen?
The seven-layered golden wheel of merit is nothing more than this.
At this time, Zhao Longxiang seemed to have received some news. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone.
"Master sent me a message saying that a trial ground has solidified beneath the Jade Cave."
"It is very likely the Great Sun Palace of the ancient Zhenyang Sect!"
"The Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance has issued an order that anyone who voluntarily responds to the call and goes to the Azure Jade Cave to expel the fallen cultivators will directly receive the third grade."
"If we can completely recapture the Jade Cave, the first person to achieve this will receive three B and three pounds of Jade Immortal Mud!"
"Those with less merit will also receive a high reward!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the private room raised their eyebrows and became interested.
The first person to achieve this feat will receive three B-level combat merits! Three pounds of green jade mud!
If he could achieve such military exploits, he would instantly rise to the top of the Xu Ling Mountain Ranking.
Even if you can't get the first credit, getting the second credit is also good.
Even if you can't get the second-level merit, as long as you participate in the recapture of the Jade Cave, you can get three Class C military merits out of thin air.
That's enough.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts.
For the Immortal Alliance disciples guarding this place, military achievements are everything!
Moreover, the Great Sun Hall of the Zhenyang Sect is also a first-class trial site.
For cultivators with fire spiritual roots, it is almost a holy place.
Because the Zhenyang Sect is a well-known sect of spiritual fire.
Any cultivator who has achieved some strength in the out-of-body state has an acquired spiritual fire in his body.
The cultivators who have reached the Lianxu and Hedao stages even possess innate spiritual fire.
In the Great Sun Palace, there is naturally acquired spiritual fire as a reward!
If the Jade Cave can be recaptured, the Sun Palace will become another trial site under the control of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance.
As long as you have enough military merits, you can exchange them for trial qualifications!
This is an opportunity for a leap forward for all the out-of-body cultivators in the Tiandao Immortal Alliance!
"At least this time, it's the Void Refining cultivators who are leading the team, and we will just play a secondary role."
"Even if the sky falls, there is Daojun Lianxu to hold it up."
Zhao Chungang said in a deep voice, "I want to go!"
Dan Jieli seemed to be thinking, "I remember there were many descendants of the Abyss Dragon in the Jade Cave?"
Chu Xuanji nodded, "The Yuanlong has the nature of silver and spreads its seeds everywhere. There are many green jade dragons in the Green Jade Cave, which are the offspring of the Yuanlong and the Green Jade Turtle."
"Then I want to go too." Dan Jieli rolled his eyes and nodded heavily.
Henry Chu frowned slightly.
He has never liked to put himself in danger.
Although the reward for this matter is generous, who knows how many dangers it hides.
At this moment, Dan Jieli's face suddenly turned serious, and he transmitted a message, "Master asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that he hopes you can go."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Dan Jieli smacked his lips and said, "Grandmaster said that this was not said by her, but by Grandmaster Wuque, Grandmaster Wujiu himself."
"Grandmaster Tai knew you didn't want to go, so he left you two words."
"What?" Chu Xuan frowned.
Dan Jie Li said in a deep voice, "First of all, there is your opportunity to reach the realm of Refining Void. You can reach the realm of Refining Void in one step."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
What do you mean?
The opportunity of refining emptiness is easy to understand.
The Green Jade Cave produces Green Jade Immortal Mud, which is the most suitable spiritual object for him to break through to the realm of refining emptiness.
Can you reach the realm of refining emptiness in just one step?
No matter how good the green jade fairy mud is, it is impossible to reach the realm of refining emptiness in one step.
Could it be...
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
A top-grade spiritual object?
If it is truly a high-grade spiritual object, then I might as well take the risk...
"What's the second sentence?" Chu Xuan asked again.
Dan Jieli asked suspiciously, "The second sentence is, Liuyun will protect you..."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Oh my god! Master will protect you?!"
Henry Chu also widened his eyes slightly.
What's going on.
Hedao Tianjun personally protects?
Dan Jieli's face was shocked. She looked Chu Xuan up and down for several times before saying, "You... Chu Xuan... what is your relationship with the Grand Master?"
"Are you the illegitimate child left behind by our great master?!"
Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? How can I be related to Wuque Zun?"
"However, after Wuquezun's words, I have no choice but to go."
Since there are top-grade spiritual objects to be obtained and there is the protection of the Heavenly Lord Hedao, how can we not go?
As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you are a bastard.
"I'll go too." Chu Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Okay, okay, we can go together so we can take care of each other!" Zhao Chungang laughed and was very happy.
A few days later.
A team gathered at Juling Peak.
There are more than 300 out-of-body cultivators and 19 void-refining cultivators in the team.
Among them are not only disciples of the Immortal Alliance, but also the Mountain and River War Clan.
The lineup is luxurious.
"I am Liuyun, the leader of this trip." A calm voice suddenly came from the clouds.
"We pay our respects to Lord Liuyun!" Everyone bowed hurriedly.
At this time, the person in the clouds appeared.
With a graceful figure and gentle temperament, she was exactly the Liuyun Tianjun that Chu Xuan had met that day.
Liuyun Tianjun's gaze lingered on Chu Xuan for a few breaths, and he gave him a light smile.
Then he said in a clear voice, "You all should already know the details of this mission, so I will not elaborate on it."
"Let's go to the Burning Sea first, and then go to the Jade Cave from the Burning Sea."
"Everyone, follow."
A moment later, everyone came to a cave.
This cave is a hundred feet high and more than twenty feet wide.
It seems that it is not for human monks to pass, but for giants to pass.
Chu Xuan looked back at the battlefield and found that it was roughly halfway up Xu Ling Mountain.
Liuyun Tianjun said calmly, "Many of you may not have seen this 'Confused Road'. Let me tell you, this road connects Xuling Mountain and the Burning Sea."
Many monks suddenly realized.
I have heard for a long time that the Burning Sea was solidified under the Xuling Mountain by the great power of several evil ancestors.
It turns out that this is the route to Xuling Mountain and Burning Sea.
Liuyun Tianjun stretched out his hand and a token appeared out of thin air in his palm.
She flicked the token casually, and it flew straight into the cave.
A moment later, the token flew out again.
Then an old voice sounded.
"It's Xiao Liuyun, are you going to the Burning Sea?"
Liuyun Tianjun bowed slightly and said, "Liuyun greets you, Senior. We wish to go to the Burning Sea and reclaim the Jade Cave."
"You are allowed to pass. Go ahead." The old voice sounded again.
In an instant, countless lights appeared in the dark cave, illuminating the way ahead.
Beside Chu Xuan, Dan Jieli whispered, "There is a formation set up by the Ancient Emperor himself in the Chaos Road. The Heavenly Lords of Crossing Tribulation can pass through at will, but the Heavenly Lords of Hedao must hold a token to pass."
"Those below the Hedao level must be escorted by Hedao. If you trespass without permission, you will definitely get lost."
"It is said that the Leishan ancestor of the Leishan War Clan has been guarding this place."
Chu Xuan suddenly realized.
No wonder the other party calls Liuyun Tianjun "Little Liuyun".
Ancestor Leishan was the first person to be enlightened by the ancient emperor and has existed to this day.
This person has lived through the turbulent times until now, and he always calls everyone by their nickname.
"The younger generation of my Leishan War Clan is also here this time. Good job, and don't let down the Emperor Father's kindness."
At this time, the old voice sounded again.
Lei Shanben half-knelt down and said excitedly, "Yes! Lei Shanben will remember the teachings of the ancestor!"
Liuyun Tianjun waved his hand and all the cultivators followed.
"Emperor Father is the respectful title the Mountain and River War Clan gives to the Ancient Emperor," Dan Jieli whispered. "They believe they were inspired by the Ancient Emperor to transform into humans. The Ancient Emperor is their father, and the mountains, rivers, and peaks are their mother."
Henry Chu nodded slightly.
With this idea in mind, it's no wonder that the Shanhe War Clan has been able to serve in Xu Ling Mountain for a long time.
After a while, everyone had walked through the confusing road.
Chu Xuan estimated in his heart that it was less than half an hour.
But it is said that if you enter without a guide, you will not be able to get out for ten days or half a month.
If you harbor evil intentions, you may even die in it.
After turning another corner, the view suddenly opened up.
But it is not a bright future.
What comes into view is a gray world.
The sky was filled with thick smoke carrying sparks.
Above the extremely high sky is a dark rock dome, which is the base of Xu Ling Mountain.
The air was also filled with dust.
Large areas of the ground were cracked and dry.
There doesn't seem to be any moisture at all.
From time to time, heat waves would roll in and hit our faces.
Everything was uncomfortable.
Looking further away, you can see four huge rock walls that connect the sky and the earth.
That is the "Wall of Sky".
Inside the sky wall is the back of the Burning Sea.
Outside the sky wall, there is a possibility of evil beasts, fallen cultivators or demonic beasts appearing.
In the team, many cultivators who possessed fire spiritual roots or practiced fire-attributed techniques became active at this moment.
As for the cultivators with water spiritual roots.
No.
Few cultivators with water spiritual roots would be so bored as to come to the Burning Sea to suffer.
Chu Xuan possesses ice spiritual roots, and he feels a little uncomfortable in this environment.
But he still possesses the innate spiritual fire.
Such a scorching hot environment is nothing to him.
As soon as everyone walked out of the confusing road, they heard muffled and respectful voices coming from both sides.
"We have met the Heavenly Lord and all the Dao Lords."
Chu Xuan looked carefully and saw a group of huge turtles with shells on their left and right.
But there was a faint flame lingering on the turtle shell.
The two turtles were standing upright, more than ten feet tall, and holding a rough spear in their hands.
It looks extremely amazing.
"Could this be the drought demon clan?" Chu Xuan was surprised.
He did a lot of homework before coming here.
The three levels of the Eternal Battlefield have their own characteristics.
But they all have similar ethnic groups.
There are mountain and river war tribes in Xuling Mountain, and drought dragons and drought monsters in Burning Sea.
The common point of these ethnic groups is that they have all received guidance from the ancient emperor.
The Shanhe Zhan Clan received great favors from the ancient emperor and transformed into humans.
Drought dragons and drought monsters were originally dragons and water monsters that lived in the ancient sea and were ruled by the Yuanlong clan.
However, Yuanlong Huozu fixed the ancient sea under Xuling Mountain, making it clear that he wanted them to take the lead.
Many dragons and water monsters died in this battle, and even after death they were full of resentment.
Then came the Battle of Boiling the Sea that shocked the world.
The Immortal Lord used his innate spiritual fire as a price to boil the vast ancient sea and burned the Abyss Dragon Ancestor to death.
The Ancient Emperor took pity on them and used his great power to inject the remaining spiritual fire into the corpses of those dragons and water monsters, helping them to revive and enlighten them.
This is how drought dragons and drought monsters came into being.
They thrive in fire.
If you touch ice water, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.
The drought dragons and drought demons received the grace of the ancient emperor, and from then on they were determined to fight against the evil beasts, until today.
"No need to be so polite." Liuyun Tianjun smiled.
The tortoise on the left said respectfully, "Lord Dragon has kept us waiting here for a long time."
"Please follow me."
The tortoises on the left walked in front. Liuyun Tianjun waved his hand and everyone followed again.
Chu Xuan looked back and saw that the tortoises in the right row had been separated to guard the left row.
The movements are uniform and efficient.
Obviously practice regularly.
A moment later.
Led by the tortoise, the group walked along the road.
There are drought demons guarding everywhere along the way.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is a sentry every five steps and a checkpoint every ten steps.
In addition to the tortoise, there are also the water buffalo, python, crab, shrimp, squid, etc.
Chu Xuan even saw a clam using its shell as a foot to patrol.
However, his work attitude is very rigorous.
From beginning to end, there were not many people who were sneaky or dishonest.
Seeing this scene, many monks couldn't help laughing.
Chen Liubu scolded, "They are defending and fighting for the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance. Who is laughing?"
Bai Yushu also said calmly, "The drought demon clan has lost tens of millions of people in battle so far. Why are you laughing?"
For a moment, everyone was silent.
The monks who sneered at him became even more blushing and wished they could turn into ostriches and bury their heads in the sand.
Liuyun Tianjun said leisurely, "The great enemy of the void is destroying this world, not just one human race. Whether it is the human race, the demon race, or even the demon beasts, they are all in danger of destruction."
"The Ancient Emperor taught us that beneath the vast maw of the void, all living things in the world prosper together and suffer together."
"When you return, face the billions of stars and recite the Immortal Palace Rules a thousand times."
Those people looked ashamed and bowed in agreement.
Another hour passed.
Everyone came to a ruin.
This place is surrounded by drought monsters, and it is completely blocked.
Several dragons are among them.
Seeing Liuyun Tianjun appear, he immediately hurried over.
The leading dragon was more than ten feet long, and the others were also five or six feet long.
This is obviously not the real body, but a shrunken one.
Liuyun Tianjun bowed and said, "Second Jiao Jun, long time no see."
The leading dragon also spoke, "Lord Liuyun, nice to meet you."
"My eldest brother is busy forging a Taoist weapon for my fourth brother and cannot show up for the time being. I will lead the way."
The voice that came out of his mouth was surprisingly elegant and powerful, not much different from that of an adult human male.
Liuyun Tianjun smiled, "That's fine. I've heard that Dajiaojun is the best weapon refiner in the Burning Sea."
"I hope the Second Dragon Lord will lead the way so we can get to the Jade Cave."
"Also, I heard that the Second Dragon Lord has a close relationship with the Jade Lord of the Jade Clan and they often visit each other. Could you tell me about the situation in the Green Jade Cave?"
She suddenly transmitted a message, "For example, what role did the Jade Clan play in this matter?"
The Second Dragon King looked hesitant.
Liuyun Tianjun looked calm and did not urge anyone.
After a while, the Second Dragon King sighed, stretched out his claws and pulled off a scale, "Here is what you want, take it."
He raised his head and looked at Liuyun Tianjun, "Be careful of Yufei."
Liuyun Tianjun was startled and nodded.
Yu Fei is the name of the Jade King of the Jade Clan.
The Second Dragon Lord said loudly, "Activate the teleportation formation and send all of you to the Jade Cave."
"Yes!" A tortoise general nodded heavily.
Within a few breaths, a bright blue light appeared above the ruins.
It was the light of the teleportation formation.
The reason for choosing this ruin is very simple.
This place is most closely connected to the Qingyu Cave, just like a hole poked out of a folded white paper.
Liuyun Tianjun ordered, "Lianxu, follow me and head to the Qingyu Cave first."
"Chen Liubu, Bai Yushu, you two stay behind and protect the safety of the out-of-body cultivator."
"yes."
Everyone followed orders.
Liuyun Tianjun led a group of refining masters to the Qingyu Cave first, and soon a signal of safety came.
Chu Xuan and other out-of-body cultivators followed closely and stepped in.
After the familiar spinning, a strange scene came into view.
They were in a city.
The high domes are all made of green jade stone walls.
Looking into the distance, there are green jade stone walls in all directions.
The figures walking in the city were actually made of green jade.
However, their appearance is no different from that of humans.
The out-of-body cultivators were all visiting the Qingyu Cave for the first time, so they were very surprised.
The cultivators of the Void Refining Realm were not surprised by this.
"Is this the Jade Clan?"
Chu Xuan was amazed.
He felt a little emotional when he thought that the Jade Clan was also inspired by the Ancient Emperor to transform into humans.
How many tribes did the ancient emperor inspire in order to resist the great enemy of the void?
"Strange, the jade stone wall there actually has a hint of green." Dan Jieli suddenly pointed in a direction.
Chu Xuan looked over and found that the stone wall there was a little different.
Not only that one place, but there are many other places that have a hint of green.
Although the jade is beautiful, it is very cold. In comparison, that color is more vibrant.
Chu Xuan shook his head. The Jade Clan had always been on and off with the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, and he didn't have much information about the Jade Clan.
So I don't know what exactly this change is.
At this time, Chu Xuan suddenly noticed that there was a child from the Jade Clan squatting in the corner of the city, fiddling with something.
It seemed as if he noticed the gaze behind him.
The child stood up suddenly and saw these foreign monks.
It is difficult for outsiders to distinguish the appearance of the Jade Clan members.
In Henry Chu's eyes, the child looked like a statue carved from jade.
It's just a moving statue.
Chu Xuan took a quick glance and discovered that the child was fiddling with some broken jade slips.
However, it is not made of green jade, but emerald jade.
The child looked at them curiously, especially at Henry Chu a few more times.
Finally, he took small steps and rushed to Chu Xuan, grinning at him.
A few obscure syllables came out of his mouth.
Seems to be saying something.
But Chu Xuan couldn't understand this language at all.
Seeing this, the surrounding Jade Clan guards immediately shouted loudly, and the child ran away in fear.
Most of the cultivators, including Chu Xuan, could roughly understand the language they used to scold.
Before coming, they had cram school on the Jade Tribe language in case the Jade Tribe conspired in person in the Jade Tribe language and they would not understand a word.
"What a strange little girl..." Dan Jieli scratched his head.
Chu Xuan looked into the distance and saw that the little girl had been taken away by a woman.
There were some ordinary people of the Jade Clan farther away. They looked at the foreign cultivators with curiosity, but they looked at these armored Jade Clan guards with fear.
This made Chu Xuan feel very strange. They were obviously from the same clan, but why did they look more like master and servant?
Is there such an insurmountable gap between the Jade Clan cultivators and the Jade Clan mortals?
"I didn't know it was Liuyun Tianjun who came to visit. We are late, and I hope you will forgive us."
At this time, several figures walked over quickly.
The leader immediately bowed and spoke respectfully.
"Who are you?" asked Liuyun Tianjun.
The man said respectfully, "My name is Yu Lian, my father's fourth son. I am now temporarily in charge of all matters concerning the Jade Cave."
Liuyun Tianjun smiled and said, "Why doesn't Yujun come?"
Yu Lian smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, my father is now forced to rely on the Green Jade Immortal Mud Bed to prolong his life, so it's really inconvenient for him to come."
Liuyun Tianjun turned around and glanced at Chen Liubu.
The latter suddenly shouted, "Yu Lian, you're talking nonsense! We know that when the Nether Mist Priest arrived at the Jade Cave, your father traveled a hundred miles out of the city to greet him personally!"
"Why is it that now that Liuyun Tianjun has arrived, he has to stay in bed and prolong his life?"
Yu Lian's expression changed slightly.
Liuyun Tianjun scolded, "Shut up, go back and accept your punishment, and recite the Immortal Palace Rules a hundred times."
Chen Liubu returned to the line and said, "Yes."
Liuyun Tianjun said warmly, "Jun Yu is old, I understand. In that case, I will go see him."
"However, I have brought these monks with me, so you must make good arrangements for them."
"Yu Lian understands." Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
A moment later, Chu Xuan and others were arranged to a palace complex in the city.
However, outside the palace were the Jade Clan guards in full armor.
They don't look like guards, but more like jailers!
In Chu Xuan's room.
Zhao Longxiang, Zhao Chungang, Chu Xuanji, Dan Jieli, and Zhang Yuting gathered together.
Zhao Chungang was about to speak, but Chu Xuan gestured for him to be quiet.
After setting up the soundproof formation, he asked, "What's going on with the Jade Clan?"
"You five are all disciples of the Myriad Stars Palace. You should know more than I do."
The five of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
After a while, Zhao Longxiong said in a deep voice, "The Jade Clan was instructed by the Ancient Emperor to transform, and has always drawn a clear line between themselves and the Fallen Cultivators."
Zhao Longxiong paused, then continued, "However, the previous Jade Lord had an affair with a fallen cultivator. After a thorough investigation by the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance, he was publicly executed, and the current Jade Lord has only just ascended to the throne."
"The Jade Cave is a special place. Both the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance and the Void Sky Fallen Sect can come and go. It's normal that the Jade Clan doesn't dare to offend either side."
"But now it looks like this, I really don't understand it."
Zhao Chungang kept scratching his head. "Yes, the Jade Clan is guarding us like prisoners. The Jade Lord even personally welcomed the Nether Mist Sacrifice Chief, but it doesn't look like they are going to completely break up with the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."
"Otherwise, as soon as we showed up, we would have been attacked by the Jade Clan and the Fallen Cultivators."
Dan Jieli's face wrinkled, "Perhaps he is afraid of Grandmaster Liu Yun?"
Chu Xuanji shook his head, "There is only one master, but the Jade Monarch of the Jade Clan and the Nether Mist Priest are both Hedao Tianjun."
"Two against one, if we take advantage of the moment when our master steps out of the teleportation formation to attack him, we have at least a 70% to 80% chance of winning."
Zhang Yuting paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, sighing, "It's a pity that we are trapped here and have no idea what's happening outside."
"It would be nice if I could walk outside."
Several people looked worried.
They do have more or less means of secretly collecting intelligence.
But since the Jade Clan is keeping such a watch on them, how could they not have a way to counterattack?
It would be even more embarrassing if it was exposed.
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, a palm-sized figure flew out from his sleeve and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.
It was Dongxu's clone.
Indeed, spiritual awareness, escape techniques, and various other methods are easily discovered by the Jade Clan.
But directly escaping into the void and traveling back and forth there is a method that can only be used by those who have reached the late stage of refining the void or even perfection.
If one wants to remain unnoticed, then only the Heavenly Lord Hedao can do it.
However, Chu Xuan's Dongxu clone was so tiny that it was extremely difficult to detect.
And no one would think that a mere out-of-body experience could have such a method.
The Jade Clan's methods are definitely used to guard against Hedao and Lianxu cultivators, so how could they be used to guard against them?
After an hour, the few people communicated to no avail and returned to their respective rooms.
Chu Xuan also sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes to rest.
The beds here are all made of green jade mud.
Although the green jade mud is not as good as the green jade fairy mud, it is also a low-grade spiritual object.
Sitting cross-legged on a jade mud bed to practice has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit.
After a while, Dongxu's clone escaped from the void and landed on Chu Xuan's shoulder.
In the claws of Dongxu's clone, there were several complete emerald jade slips.
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
Some people say that the craftsmanship of the divine consciousness jade slips was passed down from the Jade Clan and was carried forward by human cultivators.
These jade slips look particularly ancient, and they might contain something recorded in them.
Chu Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed it on the head of Dongxu's clone. The two communicated with each other through their spiritual consciousness, and Chu Xuan quickly understood where these emerald jade slips came from.
As I said before, the void is everywhere.
The Dongxu clone has the ability to travel through the void, so it can easily bypass various formations, mechanisms, and spies and enter any place it wants to go.
The Dongxu clone was very cautious, fearing that he would be discovered by the Lianxu masters, so he did not go near the Lianxu masters of the Jade Clan. Instead, he turned around and headed straight for the Jade Clan's Sutra Library.
These emerald jade slips were found by Dongxu's clone from the dusty attic of the Sutra Library.
Dongxu's clone thought they were very unique and perhaps had some strange features, so he brought them back.
"From what Dongxu's clone saw, all the jade slips in the Sutra Library were made of green jade. Why are these made of emerald jade?"
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, he remembered the child he saw during the day.
The child squatting in the corner was fiddling with a jade slip, but it was broken.
But Chu Xuan thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand what was hidden behind this.
There are too many clues and too few leads to make sense of it.
He first took out the jade slip washing plate and confirmed that the jade slips were not dangerous before placing them between his eyebrows.
After a while, he put down all the jade slips and rubbed his swollen temples.
To his surprise, these jade slips did not contain any secret techniques or ancient secrets.
It's a language.
A language older than the Yu language.
Let's call it the language of the ancient jade tribe.
As a cultivator who has achieved the state of out-of-body experience, and moreover, he is a cultivator who has obtained two golden lotuses of heaven in succession.
Chu Xuan's soul has always been far superior to that of cultivators at the same level.
Therefore, learning various languages is also astonishingly fast.
It only took him one day to fully master this ancient and obscure language.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the child said to him yesterday.
"Save...us."
Henry Chu murmured.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly opened the door and walked out.
However, he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by the Jade Clan guards.
The guard spoke in the Terran language, which he was not very fluent in, "Please go back."
Henry Chu frowned.
Yesterday, these Jade Clan guards surrounded the entire building complex.
Why are you already guarding the door today?
He stared at the guard for a few seconds, then suddenly uttered a few obscure syllables.
He watched intently, paying attention to the other person's reaction.
The Jade Clan guard frowned, "What did you say?"
Henry Chu shook his head, "Nothing."
After saying that, he closed the door again.
He sat down cross-legged, deep in thought.
What he said just now was a swear word in the language of the ancient Jade Clan.
And it was the kind that greeted the eighteenth generation.
The other party, a cultivator of the Jade Clan, did not react at all.
He frowned slightly. "This is so strange. Why do the mortals of the Jade Clan master an even more ancient language, while the Jade Clan cultivators are completely unaware of it?"
"There are many cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance stationed here. They should have discovered this ancient Jade Clan language, but no one has ever learned it?"
"What's so special about me that I can learn this ancient Jade language?"
The more he thought about it, the more his thoughts became overwhelmed.
I simply shook my head and threw all the complicated thoughts out of my mind.
Another day passed.
There was a knock on the door.
Dan Jieli shouted, "Chu Xuan! Grandmaster Liu Yun is back, and she wants you to come over!"
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows and stood up immediately.
A moment later, Dan Jieli led him to Liuyun Tianjun's room.
Chu Xuan noticed that all the Jade Clan guards guarding the gate had left, and even the Jade Clan guards outside had been withdrawn.
"Jie Li, please go out." Liu Yun Tianjun said warmly.
"yes."
The door is closed.
Only Chu Xuan and Liu Yun Tianjun were left in the room.
Liuyun Tianjun said calmly, "I went to see Yujun, and everything was settled."
"Lord Yu said that arranging guards for real-time monitoring was Yu Lian's personal decision."
"The Jade Lord has reprimanded him and stripped him of his authority to manage the Jade Clan."
"Lord Yu also said that the Dark Mist Sect came uninvited and hoped that we could help them drive them away. They are willing to hand over 30% of the Green Jade Immortal Mud and keep 20% for themselves."
"And the claim that he personally welcomed me is completely groundless. It never happened."
"What do you think?"
Henry Chu frowned, "Lie."
Liuyun Tianjun smiled and said, "You are right."
"But none of us knows what is in Yujun's heart."
"Master seems to have divined something, but he refuses to say a word."
"However, he said that you are the key person this time."
Henry Chu raised his eyebrows.
He had never been to Qingyu Cave before, so how did he become a key figure?
Liuyun Tianjun reached for his waist and took out a folding fan.
"Next, we will fight against the Dark Mist Fallen Cultivator. The Dark Mist Priest is mysterious and unpredictable. He might launch a surprise attack on you."
"I have to coordinate the overall situation, so it's inevitable that I will be careless sometimes."
"This is something I refined. It contains my spiritual power, which can help you withstand two attacks from Hedao monks."
Chu Xuan did not refuse and accepted it immediately.
This is the protection of a Hedao monk, don't miss it.
"Go back, prepare well, and conserve your energy." Liuyun Tianjun smiled.
Chu Xuan nodded, bowed and left.
After he left, Liuyun Tianjun held his forehead and frowned, "Master, ah, Master, what role can Chu Xuan play?"
"After all, he's just an out-of-body experience, so how did he become the key figure..."
…
Qingyu Cave, in ruins.
All the members of the Mingwu Sect who entered the Qingyu Cave this time were stationed here.
A formation was erected above the ruins, covering everything.
If you look at it from the outside, the ruins look just like they were before.
The fallen cultivators of the Dark Mist Sect all seemed to be practicing peacefully.
But if you pass through the formation, you will find that out-of-body priests are coming and going, and seem to be digging something in the ruins.
Inside a relatively intact residential building.
A tall monk sat cross-legged on a bench, closing his eyes in thought.
He had gray hair that dragged on the ground, a handsome face, and a dark mist swirling around him.
It was Lei Qionghe, the chief priest of the Mingwu Sect.
Two Lianxu chief priests stood beside him.
After a long time, Lei Qionghe sighed softly and put down the emerald jade slip in his hand.
"After several years, there has been no progress."
"Is the Jade Language so difficult to learn?"
"Is there something hidden here that is forbidden for people outside the Jade Clan to learn?"
He murmured in his heart, his mind full of thoughts.
At this moment, someone suddenly came quickly.
A priest who had reached the state of out-of-body state half-knelt in front of Lei Qionghe and said respectfully, "Head priest, we have received reliable information that Chu Xuan has arrived at the Qingyu Cave."
Lei Qionghe raised his head and showed a look of joy.
"Oh? I didn't expect that when I came to the Jade Cave to get one thing, I could also pick up another one."
"Okay, okay!"
"It's really a double blessing!"
The chief priest on the left said in a deep voice, "Please give the order, Chief Priest. We will immediately attack Yucheng, capture Chu Xuan alive, and present him to the Chief Priest."
Lei Qionghe smiled slightly, "Don't worry, there's no need to go over there, they will come naturally."
"The most important thing right now is to find the remains of Jade Lord of the Emerald Jade Clan."
"Yes." The officiating priest on the left nodded respectfully.
Lei Qionghe asked again, "By the way, did that old fellow Yu Fei send anyone to deliver any news?"
The officiant on the right shook his head, "No."
"Ever since welcoming you, Jade Lord has been claiming to be ill and lying on a jade mud bed."
"The only news we received was that the cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance had arrived at the Green Jade Cave."
Lei Qionghe sneered, "This old fox is still thinking of not helping either side and just sitting on the sidelines."
"He doesn't even think about whether he has the ability to do that?"
"If it weren't for the Jade Throne, he wouldn't even be qualified to speak to me."
The two chief priests nodded repeatedly, with a hint of contempt for Yu Fei in their expressions.
No matter which path the Hedao monks like Liuyun Tianjun and Mingwu Jishou take, they all rely on their own strength.
However, the Jade Lords of all generations were able to possess the power of Hedao only by relying on the Jade Lord Throne.
As long as one steps down from the Jade Lord's throne, one will drop to the lowest level of Hedao cultivators.
If one leaves the Qingyu Cave, he will be relegated to the level of a Void Refining cultivator.
Such a way of doing things, even if it is respected on the surface, will be despised behind the scenes.
…
Two days later.
At a command from Liuyun Tianjun, a group of Tiandao Immortal Alliance monks rushed straight to the headquarters of the Mingwu Sect.
Lord Yu ordered Yu Lian to lead the team to atone for his crimes, and the Yu clan also sent a lot of people.
As soon as the cultivators of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance and the fallen cultivators of the Mingwu Sect met, there was no need for either side to say anything and the battle broke out immediately.
Chu Xuan was in the middle of it and immediately realized that he was being targeted by several people.
The gazes of those people were like poisonous snakes, hiding in the dark, making people shudder.
"Three Void-level cultivators are staring at me, and they really think highly of me." He sneered.
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared behind him.
One of them was Chen Liubu.
The other person is Xu Chengyun, a disciple of the Demon-Subduing Lord of the Wanxing Immortal Palace.
"My friend, don't worry about your back. I, Chen, will protect you in the name of our master." Chen Liubu said in a voice transmission.
Xu Chengyun shrugged, "Master Liuyun asked me to protect you, and I am just following orders."
"Thank you, Senior Chen and Senior Xu." Chu Xuan nodded, and immediately activated the Yin-Yang Snatch and the Soul-Killing Lock, killing the Void-Refining Monk in front of him.
Beside him, the free demon body also activated the Wangu City to face the two fallen cultivators who had reached the perfect state of out-of-body experience.
The battle became intense from the very beginning.
Especially those monks from the Tiandao Immortal Alliance who were guarding the Qingyu Cave. They had been restrained by the Jade Clan and had been holding a lot of anger for a long time.
Now, naturally, he had to vent his anger on Mingwu Duxiu.
Liuyun Tianjun and Leiqionghe also rose to the air and looked into each other's eyes.
"Lord Liuyun, how are you? I was defeated in that fight three hundred years ago, and I will always remember it." Lei Qionghe said in a very calm tone.
Liuyun Tianjun smiled warmly, "It was clearly you who won that time."
Lei Qionghe shook his head. "You are famous for your defense. I cannot break your shell and cannot achieve my goal. Naturally, I lose."
"After returning, I have been studying hard for a long time, and now I have a new way to defeat you."
Liuyun Tianjun smiled, "Oh? Then I'd like to learn from you."
The next moment, Lei Qionghe used the Falling Technique, and Liuyun Tianjun activated the Taoist weapon.
The battle between the two Hedao monks also broke out immediately.
In the battle.
While dealing with the enemy in front of him, Chu Xuan observed the overall situation through the dozens of light spirit moths that had been spread out long ago.
He always felt something was wrong.
Even if the Jade Clan is added to the Tiandao Immortal Alliance, the combat power of both sides is not that different.
If they continue to fight like this, there will be no result, just like before, and in the end the Jade Cave will be divided equally.
We must add another powerful warrior to break this deadlock.
But Liuyun Tianjun and Mingwu Priest did not seem to be in a hurry.
Everyone is waiting for something.
Henry Chu frowned slightly.
The battle lasted a day and a night.
There were many monks and fallen monks who died in the battle.
But the battle between the two Hedao monks still had no result.
At this moment, Chu Xuan noticed the changes through the Qingling Moth.
The surrounding jadeite rock walls became even greener on the surface.
As time goes by, it becomes more and more lush and green, as if water will drip out at any moment.
"Dan Jieli discovered this situation when he first arrived at the Jade Cave. It seems this is no accident."
"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on!"
Chu Xuan thought for a moment, then fought and retreated, protecting everyone in front of him.
On the jade stone wall, the green color becomes more and more.
Later, many people noticed something was wrong and involuntarily slowed down their fight, turning their attention to the sudden appearance of green.
Liuyun Tianjun's face changed slightly, and some distant memories seemed to emerge in his mind.
Lei Qionghe also remembered something, and his originally confident look suddenly turned into anger.
He suddenly flew away and came directly above the ruins.
"Found it!" he shouted.
A priest flew out of the ruins and said fearfully, "Master, we have dug every corner of this ruin, but we still haven't found... we haven't found what you want."
"That's all we found."
After saying that, he took out a palm-sized piece of jade bone.
Lei Qionghe laughed in anger, "Okay, okay! Yu Fei, ah Yu Fei, you are so cunning!"
He looked at Liuyun Tianjun and said in a deep voice, "Liuyun, I don't care whether you believe it or not, we have all been fooled by that old fox Yufei!"
Liuyun Tianjun seemed to be thinking about something. "Don't worry, tell me what you are looking for first."
Lei Qionghe took a deep breath and said, "With your intelligence, you must have guessed it by now."
"The transformation of green jade into emerald jade signifies that the emerald jade mud, which is rare in the Green Jade Cave for thousands of years, is about to emerge!"
"I'm looking for the remains of Jade Lord of the Emerald Clan! That thing will attract the Emerald Immortal Mud!"
"That old fox Yu Fei told me that the remains are in these ruins."
"In the end, there was only this piece of jade bone."
Liuyun Tianjun frowned, then guessed something and shouted, "The Jade Clan remains on standby. Bai Yushu, take your men and control them."
"The rest of you, follow me and return to Jade City immediately!"
After saying that, she immediately flew towards Yucheng.
Yu Lian's expression changed drastically. "What are you going to do? I am the fourth son who is most valued by my father. I..."
Bai Yushu smiled faintly, "The most respected? So they sent you here to die?"
Yu Lian's expression changed suddenly.
Now he has figured it out.
Why did his father ask him to order the surveillance of the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance and let him grit his teeth and take responsibility for this mistake?
It is called training for him.
It's all bullshit.
He has been abandoned by that hypocritical father!
When Lei Qionghe saw Liu Yun Tianjun rushing back to Yucheng in such a hurry, he suddenly reacted.
Yu Fei first took the initiative to welcome him into the Qingyu Cave, and then sent some of his clansmen to assist the monks of the Tiandao Immortal Alliance in attacking them.
Everything we did was to get them away.
Then the true burial place of the remains of the Jade King of the Emerald Jade Clan becomes obvious.
It is the Jade City where Yu Fei always sits and never leaves!
"Son of a bitch!"
Lei Qionghe cursed inwardly, waved his hand, and took his chief priests and priests with him and headed straight for Yucheng.
He came to the Qingyu Cave this time to use the rare treasure to divine the news that the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud was about to be born.
This item is the best choice for refining Taoist weapons.
If he had such a top-grade spiritual object, the Taoist weapon in his hand would be able to go one step further and be promoted to a top-grade Taoist weapon.
It is enough for him to surpass the chief priests of other sects and become the number one person under the Immortal Destroyer.
And if Yu Fei could obtain this Emerald Jade Immortal Mud...
"Yu Fei is blessed by the Jade Throne. As long as he doesn't get up, it's equivalent to the perfection of the Dao."
"If he gets the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud and refines it..."
"I'm afraid it's enough to be comparable to a half-step transcendental existence."
Lei Qionghe looked extremely ugly.
Looking around this world, most of the Heavenly Lords who transcend tribulation do not come out.
Hedao Tianjun is a man of great significance.
And those who are a little stronger than Hedao Tianjun and can aspire to the realm of Tianzun at any time are the strongest among the strong.
If Yu Fei really reached that level, he would not be able to avenge the trick played by Yu Fei this time!
The other side.
Led by Liuyun Tianjun, Chu Xuan and his group were rushing towards Yucheng.
Chu Xuan looked up at the dome from time to time.
The green color becomes more and more intense within the jade stone wall.
At first it was just spots.
Now, green is only spotted, and emerald occupies the vast majority of the stone wall.
From a distance, it looks full of vitality.
At this moment, the voice of Liuyun Tianjun suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Before I came to the Jade Cave, the Second Dragon Lord gave me a scale that has the same effect as a divine consciousness jade slip."
"There are many obscure things in it that I don't understand."
"Since Master said you are the key person, I will give this thing to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuan discovered that a dragon scale had silently appeared in his palm.
He raised his eyebrows, first checked it with a washbasin to confirm that there was no problem, and then placed it between his eyebrows.
A flood of information immediately came in.
Soon, he understood what had happened in the Qingyu Cave this time.
Er Jiaojun and Yu Fei are old friends and have a very good relationship.
A few years ago, Yu Fei suddenly invited Er Jiaojun to visit Qingyu Cave and told him an important matter.
It turns out that the emerald jade fairy mud that is rarely seen in a thousand years is about to come into the world, which is a great opportunity for the Jade Clan.
Once Yu Fei can obtain the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud and refine it, he will be able to step into the realm of half-step tribulation.
From then on, the Jade Clan no longer had to be suppressed by the Tiandao Immortal Alliance and the Xutian Immortal Sect, but instead enjoyed an exclusive status.
Yu Fei hopes that the Second Dragon King can lead the drought dragon clan to support him.
Er Jiaojun thought for a long time and chose to refuse.
Because there has been a saying circulating among the mortals of the Jade Clan.
Emerald Jade appears, Green Jade disappears. All those who have been killed will be punished now!
He offered this as advice to his old friend, hoping that Yu Fei would voluntarily hand over the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud, and also suggested that Yu Fei treat the mortals of the Jade Clan well.
However, Yu Fei fell out with him and they never met again.
This dragon scale also comes with several emerald jade slips.
Er Jiaojun worked hard for many years to decipher it, but only got some ambiguous sentences.
Naturally, Liuyun Tianjun couldn't understand it either.
Now that Chu Xuan had obtained it, he only needed to scan it with his spiritual sense to understand its meaning.
"I see...it's actually like this?"
"No wonder I was able to learn the Ancient Jade Tribe language so easily."
Chu Xuan was greatly surprised.
He never expected that the Jade Clan had such a secret.
"In that case, there's no need to worry."
"No wonder Wuquezun asked me to make this trip."
"However, we must be fully prepared. After all, whether these jade slips are real or fake is just a matter of thought."
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
If a catastrophic disaster really happens, you must hide in the Mirror of the Heavens without caring about being exposed.
…
Jade City.
Liuyun Tianjun led everyone to the Jade Palace where Yujun lived.
At the gate, the Jade Clan guards wanted to stop them, but Liu Yun Tianjun waved his hand and a strong wind blew, blowing them into pieces.
boom!
The heavy door swung open.
The Jade Palace was empty.
Only on the green jade throne sat an old man from the Jade Clan.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Jade Clan members all look similar.
But he could easily tell whether a Jade Clan member was young or old.
Because once they get old, the green color on their bodies will gradually fade away, and be replaced by gray.
The older you get, the grayer it gets.
The man on the jade throne had gray spots all over his body, like age spots.
But the jade throne under his butt is now lush and green.
It seemed as if the emerald color of the entire Jade Cave was converging towards the Jade City and Jade Palace.
Finally, they gathered in this jade throne.
And these green colors are gradually merging into the body of this old man from the Jade Clan.
"Coming?" Yu Fei didn't even raise his head, but squeezed out two words from his throat.
Liuyun Tianjun said coldly, "The remains of the previous Jade Lord were sealed by you under the Green Jade Throne."
Yu Fei laughed heartily, "As expected of you, Wuquezun's eldest disciple. You're really smart. You guessed it right away."
"Compared to you, Lei Qionghe is much more stupid."
"He didn't even realize I was tricking him. He spent a long time digging a mud pit in the ruins with just a piece of jade bone."
He seemed to be struggling to speak so many words in one breath.
He took several deep breaths before smiling and saying, "However, Lord Liuyun, don't worry. I don't want to rebel against the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."
"I just don't want to give up the Emerald Jade Mud."
"After I completely refine the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud, I will still be the Jade Lord under the rule of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance."
"However, from now on, the Jade Clan will no longer offer tribute of Green Jade Immortal Mud. If the Heavenly Dao Immortal Alliance wants to gain the Jade Clan's help, they should instead provide sufficient spiritual objects."
Liuyun Tianjun squeezed out the Taoist weapon and shouted, "You are just arrogating your power!"
"Yu Fei, don't forget who pushed you onto the throne of Jade Lord. It was the Immortal Alliance!"
Yu Fei smiled even more happily, "Of course I know, of course I know."
"If I hadn't tricked the previous Jade Lord, how could you have killed him for colluding with the Fallen Cultivators? And how could I have ascended to the throne?"
"Hahaha, even the Heavenly Lord of Tribulation Crossing is not omniscient and omnipotent."
Liuyun Tianjun's expression became increasingly ugly.
The next moment, a folding fan flew out from her sleeve, suddenly grew bigger, and blew out a gust of wind!
A strong wind blew up, and wherever it passed, the luxurious furniture in the Jade Palace was silently reduced to ashes in an instant.
Yu Fei laughed, "Liu Yun, don't be so impatient."
He didn't seem to make any movement.
Suddenly, a jade barrier appeared out of nowhere, blocking the way ahead.
The strong wind hit the jade barrier and was easily blocked.
But the jade barrier was not damaged at all.
"As long as I sit on the Jade Throne, I will be at the peak of my Dao, and my power will be boundless," Yu Fei said with a mocking smile. "Liu Yun, what can you use to fight me?"
"I'm in a good mood right now. All you need to do is just stand by and watch. Once I'm halfway through the tribulation, I'll send you off."
"But if you persist in your delusion, I will kill you once I am halfway through the tribulation!"
Yu Fei sneered, "I think the Xutian Fallen Sect, no, the Xutian Immortal Sect would be very happy to have another Half-Step Tribulation Crossing expert."
"Lei Ji Shou, do you think it is or is not?"
Liuyun Tianjun turned around and found that Lei Qionghe had arrived alone.
Lei Qionghe's expression changed several times before he finally showed a warm smile.
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Yu Jun, as long as you are willing, we can be colleagues in the future."
There was no trace of anger on his face.
It was as if being teased by Yujun had never happened.
Yu Fei smiled slightly, "Don't worry, just make your bids. Whoever bids the highest, my Yu Clan will help them."
Lei Qionghe's expression froze.
Liuyun Tianjun's expression was not looking good either.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Yu Fei didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "Look, the emerald color on my body has reached half."
His face showed an intoxicated look, "Power, endless power..."
"If you don't bid now, I'll bid for you later."
There was a sense of arrogance in his words.
There is none of the former humility.
Or maybe all the previous humility was just an act.
Now it has truly shown its sharp fangs.
Yu Fei waved his hand, and an unstoppable aura descended from the sky. Green jade barriers appeared from all directions, covering everyone.
The jade barriers on all sides kept approaching the crowd.
It was as if they were going to be crushed into meat paste.
That feeling of oppression is creepy.
This attitude is actually intended to put pressure on Liuyun Tianjun and Mingwu Jishou at the same time.
Henry Chu kept shaking his head.
Perhaps it's because Yu Fei has always been a timid person.
Now that he has gained power, he has released the darkness deep in his heart.
It can be said that you don't drink the toast from the Immortal Alliance, and you turn the table when the Immortal Sect serves you food.
Liuyun Tianjun's expression changed slightly. With a wave of his hand, the folding fan expanded again, holding up the two jade barriers.
Lei Qionghe cursed inwardly, and layers of mist emerged from his body, holding up the two jade barriers.
But this is Yu Fei's home ground.
Even with their full efforts, they could only slow down the speed of the Jade Barrier's advancement.
Just as Yu Fei said, as long as he sits on the jade throne, his power will be endless.
Zhao Longxiang, Dan Jieli and others were forced to move closer to the center.
Looking at the jade barriers on all sides, fear gradually appeared in his eyes.
They are not afraid of dying on the battlefield.
But it is really suffocating to die in such a miserable way.
Dan Jieli couldn't help but look at Chu Xuan.
But he found that Henry Chu still looked normal, and didn't seem to care about this matter.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Chu Xuan, why aren't you afraid at all?"
"Do you have any idea?"
After saying that, she covered her mouth.
That's a joke.
Even Hedao Tianjun is powerless, so what can Chu Xuan, a mere out-of-body cultivator, do?
Henry Chu chuckled, "I have no choice."
Dan Jie Li was even more surprised, "Is there anything you can do? Why are you so happy?"
"Don't you want to live anymore?"
Henry Chu smiled even more happily, "Happy, it's just because Yu Jun is asking for trouble."
"The day the green reaches its peak, that will be the day he dies."
Dan Jieli looked at Yu Fei, and the green color had spread from his feet to his neck.
Just fill your head completely again.
Yu Jun is equivalent to completely integrating the emerald jade fairy mud, and his every move has the strength of half a step to transcend the tribulation.
She became more and more confused.
Why did Chu Xuan say that when the green color reached its peak, Jade Lord would die?
This is illogical.
Dan Jieli asked suspiciously, "What do you know?"
Henry Chu smiled and said, "You'll know soon."
He gestured for Dan Jieli to look at the jade throne.
Dan Jieli looked over immediately and stared at it intently.
Liuyun Tianjun was also paying attention to Chu Xuan's movements. Seeing that he always looked calm, he felt a little relieved.
She has always trusted her master's judgment.
The master said in person that Henry Chu was a key figure, and this key figure didn't even have the slightest fear.
Then she has no need to be afraid.
Lei Qionghe was confused when he saw Liu Yun Tianjun's expression change.
How come you still seem so confident?
What secrets do you people from the Tiandao Immortal Alliance know?
It was at that moment that Yu Fei's whole body was filled with green.
Only then did Chu Xuan slowly take out the Black Nether Tablet.
"Dinner is ready." He smiled.
A white jade turtle suddenly emerged from it.
It was still illusory when it emerged from the Black Nether Monument, but it had become solid when it landed.
The white jade turtle sniffed left and right, and suddenly headed straight for the green jade throne.
The seemingly unbreakable jade barrier actually dissolved on its own in front of the white jade turtle.
Then, in front of Yu Fei's shocked eyes, the white jade turtle bit his leg with a roar!
"ah!"
Yu Fei screamed.
Crunch.
The white jade turtle chewed diligently, bleating as it ate.
Judging from the appearance, he was obviously enjoying the meal.
"You...what kind of monster are you?!"
Yu Fei wanted to kick the white jade turtle away, but he found that his spiritual power was like it had encountered a natural enemy and he could not mobilize it at all.
He could only watch helplessly as the white jade turtle gnawed at his body bite by bite.
Its strength seemed to begin to drain away along with the wound.
At the same time, cracks began to appear on the surface of his body.
It's like a mortal's skin cracking due to lack of water.
Yu Fei, who was so arrogant just now, now has a constipated expression.
Everyone's attention was focused on Yu Fei.
Naturally, his changes were clearly seen by everyone.
Zhang Yuting suddenly pointed at Yujun's toes and said in a deep voice, "It's cracked!"
Everyone looked over and indeed found a tiny crack.
Then, there was a continuous sound of clicking.
Cracks appeared one after another on the surface of Yujun's body.
Feet, calves, abdomen, chest, arms, back, head...
Fine cracks are found almost everywhere on the body.
Yu Fei's expression also changed from being confident of victory at the beginning to being terrified now.
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible..."
"how so..."
His eyes were filled with fear, as if he had guessed something.
The cracks gradually grew bigger step by step.
At the end, there was a click.
Yu Fei actually broke into two pieces and fell off the jade throne!
The color of his body immediately changed from emerald green to gray.
It was as if something had sucked all his strength away.
Tick.
A ball of emerald glass suddenly fell from its body and rolled on the ground like a drop of water on a lotus leaf.
The moment the emerald jade glass fell, Yu Fei seemed to lose all his strength.
"Emerald Jade Mud...Emerald Jade Mud!"
Yu Fei used all his strength to scream.
The next moment, he suddenly exploded.
The body broke into thousands of pieces and exploded everywhere.
The surrounding jade barrier also suddenly disappeared at this moment.
The heavy pressure that always hung over the monks finally disappeared.
The monks were dumbfounded.
Most of them had never expected that this arrogant and domineering Yu Jun would end up like this.
The other party clearly had a big advantage, so why did they send it for no apparent reason?
Without waiting for everyone to react, Lei Qionghe was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed the emerald fairy mud with his big hands.
This ball of emerald jade fairy mud has now absorbed the power of harmony in Jade Lord's body. Compared with its peers, its value is several times higher.
If the top-grade spiritual objects can be divided into grades, it is definitely the best among the best now!
Liuyun Tianjun blew out a strong wind and also grabbed the emerald fairy mud.
The monks also turned their eyes and turned their attention to the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud.
However, this emerald fairy mud is even more slippery than loach.
No matter how hard Lei Qionghe and Liuyun Tianjun tried to catch him, he could easily slip away every time.
Several times Lei Qionghe almost caught it in his hands.
The emerald jade mud broke into pieces and fell out from between his fingers.
After a while, the Emerald Jade Fairy Mud arrived at the entrance of the Jade Palace.
"You're mine!"
Lei Qionghe kicked the ground hard, and his big hands turned into dark mist, completely blocking the area around the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud.
Liuyun Tianjun smiled faintly, and his folding fan blew out a strong wind, blowing the newly formed dark mist into pieces.
A child from the Jade Clan squatted down and easily picked up the emerald jade mud.
Chu Xuan cast his gaze over, his heart trembling.
The other person was the child who spoke to him that day.
The appearance of this child immediately attracted everyone's attention.
No one expected that something that even Hedao Tianjun couldn't get was actually taken by a child from the Jade Clan who had no spiritual power at all.
Immediately, a chief priest of the Lianxu Sect rolled his eyes and reached out to grab it.
However, infinite power burst out from under the green jade throne, enveloping the children of the Jade Clan.
The man was immediately ejected.
When he landed on the ground, he was already dead.
Lei Qionghe and Liuyun Tianjun's expressions changed, and they looked at the jade throne at the same time.
A residual soul suddenly flew out from below and fell into the child's body at lightning speed.
In an instant, a majestic aura that was comparable to that of the Tao burst out from the child.
"The previous generation of Jade Lord?" Liuyun Tianjun asked in surprise.
The child strode forward, and the monks along the way were frightened and made way for him.
At the end of the road is Chu Xuan.
The child came in front of Henry Chu, bowed and said, "Fourth generation Jade Lord Yulong, I pay my respects to my master."
Henry Chu waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
The child nodded, "The Jade Clan is the scraps shaved off from the Black Tortoise Seal. Since you are the new master of the Black Tortoise Seal, you are naturally our new master."
As he spoke, the child offered the Emerald Jade Clay with both hands, "Please accept it, my Lord."
Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Henry Chu reached out and prepared to accept it.
After all, if they keep refusing, it will definitely hurt the Jade Clan's feelings.
As the new master of the Black Tortoise Seal, how could he let the Jade Clan feel disappointed?
Lei Qionghe's expression changed drastically, and he immediately reached out to grab Chu Xuan.
At the same time, he released a dark mist to stop Liuyun Tianjun.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
Yu Long let out a low roar, and jade-colored spiritual power gushed out of his body. In an instant, a protective shield was formed, covering Chu Xuan.
Lei Qionghe's big hand grabbed suddenly and kept exerting force.
Uncomfortable creaking sounds were heard one after another.
However, it only caused ripples on the surface of the emerald shield and could not go any further.
"Mingwu Duoxiu, get out of the Qingyu Cave." Yulong said in a low voice with a cold face.
Liuyun Tianjun flashed and appeared in front of Chu Xuan, looking at Lei Qionghe with a warm expression.
"Lei Qionghe, go back to where you came from."
"Otherwise, all the chief priests and priests outside will die."
"You want to seize power from Miexian, but you can't do it without subordinates."
Liuyun Tianjun smiled playfully.
Lei Qionghe listened carefully and indeed heard the faint sounds of fighting.
His expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lei will remember today's revenge!"
He glanced at Henry Chu coldly, then turned and left.
Liuyun Tianjun was good at defense rather than offense. Seeing this, he did not try to stop the man, but just watched Lei Qionghe leave.
"My lord, please accept it." Yu Long spoke again with a sincere look.
Liuyun Tianjun looked at the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud with envy, but finally smiled and said, "Just accept it. No wonder Master said you are the key person."
Chu Xuan nodded in understanding, and then he actually accepted it.
A side hall of the Jade Palace.
Zhao Longxiong, Dan Jieli and others gathered around Chu Xuan, marveling at him.
"Good guy, no wonder you looked calm just now, it turns out you have such a hidden trick!" Dan Jieli stroked the white jade turtle's head a few times and laughed.
Zhao Longxiang and others also wanted to reach out and touch it, but they were bitten a few times by the white jade turtle. Feeling the pain, they had to withdraw their hands in disappointment.
Chu Xuan shook his head, "I only know that the Xuanwu Seal can restrain Yu Fei and block his path to advancement."
"But why I can restrain myself, I don't know."
At this time, Yulong and Liuyun came quickly.
Yu Long said respectfully, "My Lord, this matter is actually very simple."
"The Jade Clan is divided into two parts: Emerald Jade and Green Jade."
"Back then, we were blessed by the Emperor and transformed into humans. The Jade Clan was small in number but powerful, and held a dominant position."
"We, the Jade Clan, are the main clan, and the Sapphire Clan is the servant clan."
"But as time went on, the Qingyu Clan became resentful."
"Finally, in my generation, Yu Fei seized the opportunity, fabricated evidence, and framed me."
"The person presiding over the deliberations at the time was Emperor Father's fifth disciple, 'Pu Hua Ling Tian Zun', who now calls himself 'Shen Sheng Ling Tian Zun', Ming Wu Du Zun."
"After deliberation, Lord Nether Mist determined that I was in cahoots with the Fallen Cultivators and ordered my execution."
"Yu Fei was able to ascend to the throne and become the fifth generation Jade Lord of the Jade Clan."
"A certain celestial being was kind enough to spare a vestige of my soul."
Yulong sighed softly, "Since then, the Jade Clan has been massacred, and only a few have survived."
"The Jade Language can only be learned by the Jade Clan. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to learn, and thus it has gradually been lost."
"But we are obviously lucky because we have been waiting for you."
"If you hadn't asked Master Xuanwu to intervene, Yu Fei would have seized the Emerald Jade Immortal Mud and usurped the realm of Half-Step Crossing the Tribulation."
"When that time comes, the Jade Clan will truly have no hope of recovery."
Having said that, Yu Long sighed and half-knelt down towards Chu Xuan again.
Zhao Longxiang, Dan Jieli and others quickly made way.
This person is the fourth generation Jade Lord, a person of the Dao. They dare not get too close to receive such a great gift.
Chu Xuan gave a bitter smile and helped Yu Long up, "I'm just out of my body."
Those who achieve enlightenment through spiritual practice are the first to come.
I really can't bear the fact that Hedao is in a state of out-of-body experience.
Yulong said firmly, "The master is the master, no matter what realm he is in, he is still the master."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Chu Xuan had to give up.
The others looked at Henry Chu with great envy.
Who can just leave the body and become a servant of the Tao?
Yu Long continued, "I have just discussed this with Daoist Liu Yun. From now on, no fallen cultivators will be allowed to appear in the Jade Cave."
"As for the distribution ratio of the Green Jade Immortal Mud produced by the Green Jade Cave, we have different opinions. I would like to ask my master to make the final decision."
Henry Chu wanted to say, you just have to do this kind of thing.
But immediately, Yu Long said, "What I mean is that the green jade fairy mud produced in the future will still be divided into five parts, two for you, one for the Jade Clan, and two for the Heavenly Dao Fairy Alliance."
"But Liuyun Tianjun feels that it is inappropriate. She thinks she should ask you."
"What do you mean?"
Chu Xuan clicked his tongue when he heard this.
The others were also shocked.
Zhan Wuxiu beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Chu Xuan alone got 20% of the Green Jade Immortal Mud?"
Zhao Chungang stretched out five fingers and began to calculate, "Every hundred years, at least ten kilograms of green jade fairy mud is produced. Chu Xuan got four kilograms. That's a total of... how many military merits does that give?"
He raised his head, his eyes dull, and he was stunned for a long time without realizing what was happening.
Zhao Longxiong smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Chu is indeed far superior to us."
Zhang Yuting looked emotional, thinking that he had made the right friends.
Chu Xuan also thought of this.
There is now a stockpile of green jade fairy mud in the Green Jade Cave.
In other words, as long as he nods and agrees, he can get it now.
But after thinking for a few breaths, he smiled and said, "I am only an out-of-body state, why would I need so much green jade mud?"
"I only need one copy. The remaining copy will be given to the Immortal Alliance."
"There are many more Hedao Tianjuns who need the Green Jade Immortal Mud more than I do."
After these words were spoken, all the monks present were shocked.
It was as if I got to know Henry Chu all over again.
Dan Jieli secretly gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up.
With just a few words, half of the military achievements were rejected.
Looking at all the monks who have achieved the state of leaving the body, who can have such courage?
Liuyun Tianjun also looked at Chu Xuan with great admiration.
With such a huge amount of military achievements in front of them, few people can resist.
Just as Chu Xuan said, the green jade fairy mud is the top-grade main material for refining Taoist tools, and many Hedao Tianjun are waiting to use it.
If he really took both for himself, he would push many Hedao Tianjun to the opposite side.
If you voluntarily give up one part, you will naturally gain the friendship of many Hedao Tianjuns.
From then on, no matter where he went, there would always be people who would give him face.
"He is truly worthy of being the fourteenth disciple of the Ancient Emperor." She was even more impressed in her heart.
Yulong said respectfully, "Yes, then I'll do as you say."
"Also, I've already sent people to clean up the ruins. The Great Sun Hall will be fully excavated within three to five months."
"You are the new leader of the entire Jade Clan, and you will be needed to preside over the opening ceremony."
Everyone swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Especially Yan Shanlie of the Yanshan War Clan, his eyes were already staring straight at Chu Xuan.
They also reacted at this time.
The Great Sun Palace has been fixed below the Green Jade Cave. If the Tiandao Immortal Alliance wants to obtain a place in the trial, it must pass through the Jade Clan's territory and obtain the Jade Clan's cooperation.
As long as he could establish a good relationship with Chu Xuan, the new leader of the Jade Clan, wouldn't it be possible to get a spot in the trial ahead of time?!
Thinking of this, Yan Shanlie couldn't help but want to slap himself.
If I had known earlier, I would have established a good relationship with Henry Chu!
If you try to make friends now, people will think you are trying to curry favor with them.
Henry Chu also realized how much power he held, and suddenly he had a headache.
I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future.
There may also be different opinions within the Tiandao Immortal Alliance regarding these interests.
"I'll leave it to you to arrange these."
"Yes." Yu Long said respectfully, "I have another request, I hope my master will grant it."
"Go ahead."
Yulong's tone was even more respectful. "Please ask my lord to stay in Yucheng for a while longer. Our people all want to see what our great benefactor looks like."
"Don't worry, we will take care of your food and daily life in Yucheng."
"It will definitely not affect your cultivation."
Liuyun Tianjun winked at Chu Xuan and said, "It's better for you to stay here for the time being. You will cause a lot of trouble if you go back."
Henry Chu nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, then I'll stay here for a while."
"Thank you, Master!" Yu Long was very happy. "Please follow me, Master. We have prepared a bedroom for you."
Henry Chu smiled helplessly and followed.
The dignified Hedao is humbly leading the way in front of the out-of-body experience. This kind of scene is truly rare in a thousand years.
The rest of the people were stunned.
Today's shock was so great that even the disciples of the Immortal Alliance and the Mountain and River War Clan were stunned.
However, no matter who it was, they all understood one thing.
Chu Xuan was obviously completely different from them.
