Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 822 Breaking the Situation
Cui Shui Ge at Yunshan Academy is Xu Yun's residence.

Xu Yun practices swordsmanship here every day, diligently and without ceasing.

Her talent is extremely high, far surpassing that of Chen Wang.

If it weren't for the power of faith that Chen Wang possessed, he would be worlds apart from Xu Yun.

After resolving the matter of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, Chen Wang stayed away for a few days before returning to Yunshan Academy, where he then spent his time sparring with Xu Yun.

Xu Yun has an extremely high level of understanding of the Dao, and she can apply some of her knowledge to other things. Chen Wang only needs to teach her his insights.

Chen Wang cultivates the Dao of Life and Death and the Dao of Gods and Demons, and he does not hold back.

Xu Yun was of great significance to him, and he passed on both of those great Dao techniques to Xu Yun.

In addition, there is the Great Zhou Dynasty's Tribulation Transcending Stage Cultivation Technique, the Divine Demon Ode, which contains very detailed records.

Chen Wang shared his insights and understanding with Xu Yun, and Xu Yun made rapid progress under his careful guidance.

It wasn't that Chen Wang was biased; the cultivation levels of the other Daoist partners were far inferior to Xu Yun's, and they hadn't yet reached the level of comprehending the Great Dao.

Furthermore, Xu Yun is the cultivator most likely to break through to the Integration Stage in the short term.

During his teaching of Xu Yun, Xu Yun also offered many of his own insights. The two corroborated each other's views, and some of Chen Wang's confusions about cultivation were thus resolved.

Chen Wang was indeed very envious of Xu Yun's talent.

"Is this the academic genius girl?"

Although Xu Yun was only at the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to offer many insights that Xu Yun, who was at the Integration stage, had never considered before, allowing him to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao. He was truly remarkable.

Chen Wang has been living in Cui Shui Ge for the past six months. Although the other sisters are envious, they can do nothing about it.

It's because their levels of understanding are so different.
The threat of the Great Heat still exists, and they are hoping that Xu Yun can break through quickly.

All the women were engrossed in their cultivation.

When Xu Yun's cultivation reached a certain level, Chen Wang stopped living in Cui Shui Pavilion and returned to his own residence.

Other Daoist partners would also go to him for advice when they had questions, and the cultivation levels of the people around him were also constantly improving.

Besides teaching everyone how to cultivate, Chen Wang would occasionally go to check out the myriad worlds under his control.

With the continuous development of the Bronze Gate, Chen Wang has gained control of three more celestial worlds in the past six months, where he has established religions and obtained the power of faith.

One is the ordinary technological world.

One is the myriad worlds, devoid of human habitation and shrouded in desolation.

The other one had just been ravaged by the Great Flame Heaven, with all the powerful cultivators killed or wounded, leaving only some weak Qi Refiners.

Chen Wang was somewhat wary of this, and his interactions with Da Yan Tian became increasingly frequent...

Connecting to a desolate, uninhabited world also deeply moved Chen Wang. It turned out that some worlds had been destroyed and were devoid of life.

This world of gods and demons is filled with endless yellow sand, as if it has undergone a terrible upheaval. Not only are there no people, but there are no livestock either; it is completely desolate.

After witnessing this vast world, Chen Wang's horizons broadened, and his desire to seek the Dao became even stronger.

Although Ye Qingshuang handed over the Taiyi Profound Technique, the tribulation-crossing cultivation method of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, to Chen Wang, Chen Wang did not focus his attention on it.

The main reason was that he was short on time and wanted to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.

The Taiyi Xuan Gong cultivates a great Dao in the universe, called the Taiyi Great Dao.

This great path is ethereal and formless, extremely mysterious.

However, Chen Wang is not currently focusing his attention on this new path. He is concentrating on cultivating the Divine Demonic Origin to improve his Dao cultivation and the tribulation stage of his life. Chen Wang wants to increase his combat power in a short period of time.

Two years passed quickly.

The entire Dao Ning world was calm and peaceful, and nothing happened. It was as if the Great Flame Heaven had vanished without a trace.

However, Chen Wang often gazed at the sea of ​​clouds from the Yunshan Academy, and he felt that the Great Heat was getting closer and closer to him.

A sense of crisis constantly loomed over Chen Wang.

Once those experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage descend, even the combined power of the entire Dao Ning World might not be enough to contend with them.

The following day, Chen Wang went to the Dao Alliance.

The current Dao Alliance is an alliance formed by nine major forces, specifically to counter the Great Flame Heaven.

The threat from the Great Flame Heaven was far too urgent. People in the Ancient Immortal Holy Land had already been controlled. Experts from the Yin-Yang Dao and Wuwei Dao sects were also worried about this happening. That's why this alliance was gradually formed.

Unfortunately, although the alliance was formed, it remained somewhat loose.

Chen Wang's visit was merely a routine discussion of some matters.

He always suspected that there were still traitors from the Great Flame Heaven within the Dao Alliance, so Chen Wang kept a low profile on many matters.

He also wanted to find the traitor, but several years passed without any good opportunity.

After leaving the Dao Alliance, Chen Wang and Ye Qingshuang traveled to the Ancient Immortal Holy Land on a flying magical artifact.

Along the way, Ye Qingshuang said worriedly, "The Dao Alliance is all show and no substance. Each member has their own thoughts and is like a pile of loose sand. If the Great Flame were to descend, I think half of them would have to defect."

Chen Wang said, "That's right. There are experts in the Tribulation Transcending stage in the Great Yan Heaven, and there may even be the founders of various sects there. I believe you if you say that these people want to protect their own power, but it is unlikely that they will fight against the people of the Great Yan Heaven."

Ye Qingshuang sighed.

That's just how it is; people tend to have a sense of luck unless the knife falls on their own head.

Although she dealt with some elders of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, she now believes that some people are still preparing to rush up and cling to the powerful figure of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land's founder when he descends.

Chen Wang said, "The situation is not optimistic. Based on my deduction, the Great Flame Heaven must be waiting for an opportunity to disappear. Once the world's power changes, they will not hesitate to send experts down."

At this point, Chen Wang sneered, "By then, these people probably won't even be able to survive."

So what if someone is a master like the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land?

They were merely vessels, sacrificed at will. These people of the Great Flame Heaven regarded cultivators from the lower realms as nothing more than ants!
Moreover, Chen Wang concluded that in order to maintain stability, they would most likely harvest the strong ants, so as to better control the lower realm.

Of course, this is only one possibility.

Some believe that the Great Flame Heaven has always been peaceful and detached from worldly affairs. Although it has descended to the mortal realm this time, at worst it will only be to sacrifice some mortals. These great cultivators will certainly be safe and sound. They only need to focus on serving these guests from the upper realm.

Because of this mentality, the Dao Alliance is now very loose. Chen Wang cannot change this idea, nor does he intend to.

He was only trying to mobilize forces from all sides to barely hold them off; when it came to the real decisive battle, he would have to rely on himself.

Ye Qingshuang was very worried about the future.

Chen Wang patted her cheek and laughed, "Don't worry too much. The real solution is our cultivation level. As long as we are strong enough, we have nothing to fear from the Great Flame Heaven."

Ye Qingshuang nodded.

After inspecting the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, Chen Wang found that the array of statues there was extremely powerful, enough to contend with those in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

However, Chen Wang was somewhat worried that if the opponent was the patriarch of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, would he possess special methods to control these formations? After returning to Yunshan Academy from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, Chen Wang summoned Feng Lin, who was in charge of personnel, and asked, "Has the ninth batch of relocation lists been released?"

In recent years, he has secretly relocated some students of Yunshan Academy to other worlds.

Although this approach isn't foolproof, it's better to keep your eggs out of one basket to avoid them all getting broken in the sweltering heat.

Feng Lin nodded and said, "It's all sorted out. This is the list for the ninth batch. Take a look."

She handed the list to Chen Wang, who glanced at it a few times and then put it away, saying, "Today we're preparing for the relocation."

Feng Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Although a group of people would be relocated to Yunshan Academy every now and then, it could only serve to preserve the flame of knowledge.

Seeing his deep worry, Feng Lin told him before going down to do her errands, "Don't worry too much. It's all up to you. You've already done a lot."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang raised his head, smiled, and let out a long breath, saying, "Yes, I've been pushing myself too hard lately."

Feng Lin stepped forward and came up behind Chen Wang, gently massaging his shoulders.

At this moment, she was dressed in white, which accentuated her extremely voluptuous figure. Her waist was slender and delicate, and her hair was styled in a bun, giving her a strong sense of being a married woman.

With Chen Wang's abundant resources, Feng Lin has now reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

She was extremely grateful to Chen Wang for her current level and status. If it weren't for Chen Wang, she would probably still be a low-level cultivator, and how could she be in charge of personnel and wielding great power in a powerful force like Yunshan Academy?

Feng Lin silently massaged Chen Wang's shoulders, which relaxed him slightly. He leaned his head back and rested it on Feng Lin's full breasts.

Feng Lin said softly, "Should I go and call the sisters over?"

Chen Wang smiled upon hearing this and said, "That sounds rather vulgar."

Feng Lin smiled and said, "I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to take care of you by myself. You're always so energetic and vigorous."

Chen Wang smiled and turned directly to Feng Lin.

Feng Lin's oval face is becoming increasingly radiant, and her skin seems to contain a layer of divine light.

He pulled Feng Lin in front of him and said with a smile, "If this were a contest for favor in the secular imperial harem, this would be a bad move of yours. You're trying to push me out of here."

Feng Lin blushed and whispered, "How can that be the same? Worldly emperors are just ordinary people, they are indifferent and how long can they last? But you always seem to be aiming to kill people."

As she spoke, she bit her lip, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

Chen Wang laughed and slapped her bottom hard, so hard that Feng Lin almost burst into tears.

Chen Wang said, "Go arrange the personnel relocation first, then come find me as soon as possible."

Feng Lin blushed even more, responded, straightened her clothes, and hurriedly ran out.

Chen Wang exhaled a breath of stale air, his smile fading.

"Now I have men and territory in the Dao Alliance world. If the Great Yan Heaven wants to ride on my head, I'll skin you alive!"

A murderous glint appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

After explaining the situation, Feng Lin came to report to Chen Wang again.

Chen Wang stood up.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the scorching heat, his thoughts became chaotic again, and the desires aroused by Feng Lin's massage vanished.

Chen Wang said, "Let's take care of business first, and I'll train you when I get back."

Feng Lin bit her lip and muttered under her breath, "It's as if I'm the one who's impatient."

Chen Wang smiled and led Feng Lin out.

After relocating the ninth batch of students, Chen Wang felt a little more relaxed.

That evening, he not only invited Feng Lin, but also his Daoist partners Gu Xinyue, Fairy Qingwei, Rouge, and Xu Yun, and they played around all night until dawn.

A night of debauchery, and we slept together under the same quilt.

This finally allowed his tense nerves to relax a bit.

…………

Then Chen Wang stopped his seclusion and cultivation. Now his cultivation of various Great Daos has stagnated, and his realm seems to have encountered a barrier, making it impossible for him to advance any further.

Chen Wang was very experienced in this matter and was not in a hurry.

Besides refining magical artifacts and practicing supernatural powers every day, he would also go out for a stroll, and sometimes he would visit other worlds.

After that absurd night, Xu Yun somehow gained some insights into his state of mind, as if he had touched upon the bottleneck of the Integration Stage.

She secluded herself for several days and finally seized that opportunity.

She told Chen Wang about this, and Chen Wang said with some surprise, "Now that we have seized the opportunity, let's not miss it. Try to break through the barrier, and I will protect you."

Xu Yun nodded.

However, she hesitated and said, "I'm afraid my understanding of the Great Dao is not deep enough, and it might become a demon in the end."

Chen Wang said solemnly, "If you become a demon, then subdue the demon in your heart. There is no need to worry too much. If a single thought of anger arises, a million obstacles will open. You must remember this."

This time, Chen Wang didn't joke around; when it came to cultivation, Chen Wang's attitude was very serious.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's expression hardened, and he muttered to himself, "A single thought of anger opens a million doors of obstacles. I'll remember that."

Xu Yun then went into seclusion to cultivate her spiritual path, while Chen Wang protected her from outside.

During the fusion period, the spirit and soul unite, and the soul and body unite, leaving no flaws in the physical body and primordial spirit.

Xu Yun had a very good foundation and had also refined the precious treasures brought by Chen Wang, so her breakthrough to the next realm was unexpectedly smooth.

However, because things went too smoothly, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried later on. He was worried that his cultivation level was unstable and that he might fail to break through the barrier.

Unbeknownst to him, his originally smooth breakthrough had taken a wrong turn. No matter how hard Xu Yun tried to train, his primordial spirit and physical body could never be in harmony.

Xu Yun grew increasingly anxious: "That's impossible! Everything was going so smoothly, how could something suddenly go wrong?"

Xu Yun's cultivation was much simpler than others'; even when she was lecturing,
Many exceptionally talented young people couldn't understand it at all, thinking it couldn't be that simple, that there was no intermediate process, and that they had taken it in one step.

Over time, Xu Yun began to wonder if her cultivation was too superficial and unrealistic, and this subconscious belief gradually took hold for her.

The more she forced herself not to think about it this time, the more deeply rooted the idea became. When she looked at herself inwardly while observing the world, she felt that there was something wrong with her, and gradually a demon arose in her heart that she could not control.

At this moment, Chen Wang was protecting Xu Yun outside her cave, and he could sense the fluctuations in Xu Yun's state of mind.

He cultivated the Divine Demonic Arts and was extremely sensitive to things like inner demons.

At this moment, Chen Wang realized something was wrong.
"Oh no, this little girl has finally succumbed to her own inner demons."
