This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 496 does indeed exist; Xiang and Guanyin are mutually in love.
The thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image unleashed its six arms simultaneously, its fist shadows pouring down like a torrential downpour.

Xiang Yuan's innate divine power was amplified by the Dharma form of three heads and six arms, and then further soared by the Dharma of Heaven and Earth. This was pure power, the ultimate beauty of numerical values.

The fist imprint blotted out the sky and sun, descending with the force to shatter the world. Each punch shattered a part of the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image's body, causing the glass to explode and golden light to burst forth. The fist's power pierced through heaven and earth, turning the area where the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image was located into a chaotic mess.

The aftershocks spread, and the energy storm, sharp as a blade, plowed out crisscrossing abysses from the surrounding mountains.

The Law of Heaven and Earth is a divine power at the level of immortals, and its consumption of magical power is astronomical. Not every immortal can master it. Even immortals cannot do it, let alone Xiang Yuan, who is in the Integration stage and has not yet become an immortal. His true essence is being consumed at an alarmingly rapid pace, and even the operation of the Formless Seal Technique is not enough to make up for the shortfall.

In just five seconds, Xiang Yuan's true energy was completely drained.

The last punch!
The thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image gathered all its strength and punched the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Image in the chest.

Click!

The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma form completely collapsed, and the force of his fist continued unabated, blasting a huge, dark hole in the small world where Yan Xuanhe had passed away. The space was mottled and exploded repeatedly, and the chaotic air currents churned violently.

Zhang Tianyang's future vanished in a shower of golden light, and at the same time, Zhang Tianyang was also severely injured by the physical body of the zombie senior who was now being used by him.

Back then, Xiang Yuan personally dug Senior Jiang out of the ancient tomb, and now he personally sent him off to his funeral, beating him to pieces, his broken limbs turning into dust and dissipating in mid-air.

"Ha ha---"

The thousand-foot-tall Dharma form dissipated, and the three-headed, six-armed Dharma form could not be maintained. Xiang Yuan stood naked, his hands pressing on his knees, panting like a sword master.

I can't take it anymore. I feel like my body has been drained, I'm dizzy, and I feel nauseous.

The Formless Seal Technique was activated, refining the medicinal power within himself, strengthening his primordial spirit internally and his divine power externally. The endurance of this technique was unparalleled, and in just a few breaths, Xiang Yuan's complexion improved considerably.

Against the backdrop of a pitch-black spatial rift, a mutilated corpse floats, its limbs destroyed, its chest and abdomen gone, and half of its head in a bizarre shape.

Zhang Tianyang stared blankly at Xiang Yuan ahead: "I am the Heavenly Emperor, what virtue or ability does Ji Wuzhou possess to contend with me? You are also considered my disciple, why..."

"Because he's a good-for-nothing, he can't do this or that, everyone wanted him to be the Heavenly Emperor, and his downfall was a popular choice!"

Xiang Yuan made the final decision: "You're no good. You're too much like the Heavenly Emperor. If you were the Heavenly Emperor, you would only be high above everyone else, and everyone would live around you... There was one Heavenly Emperor like that before, but he died later."

Zhang Tianyang didn't understand and muttered, "But Ji Wuzhou is the Heavenly Emperor. He can't control the Three Realms, so he can't represent the Mandate of Heaven. When he encounters the next Heavenly Emperor, what makes him think he can compete with him? How long can the Qianyuan Realm exist? Your actions will not last long. In the end, you will only become pawns."

"That makes sense, but that's for the future. Right now, I just need to take care of what's in front of me."

Xiang Yuan presented his cultivation method, "Tomorrow's worries will come tomorrow," which sounded very depressing at first glance, and it was indeed true. However, Zhang Tianyang had no right to refute it. A loss is a loss, and the dead cannot speak, so there was no way to refute it.

"at the moment……"

Zhang Tianyang smiled coldly, finding Xiang Yuan's explanation unacceptable: "The Qianyuan Realm has now attracted the attention of the next Heavenly Emperor. I had always felt that there was a big problem with this zombie, but I couldn't figure out how to solve it until you destroyed its physical body just now, and only then did I realize what the problem was."

"???"

"This zombie once left the Qianyuan Realm and caught the attention of a certain Heavenly Emperor. The latter could arrive at any moment, and you don't have much time left 'right now'."

Unable to defeat Ji Wuzhou, Zhang Tianyang died with his eyes wide open in dismay. But when he thought of how Xiang Yuan and the others had personally ruined the future, he felt less pained. The single eye on half of his head stared intently at Xiang Yuan: "Your selfishness has destroyed the future of Qianyuan Realm. The beings of the Three Realms are destined to be swallowed up. Although I do not know who that Heavenly Emperor is, I am willing to lend him a hand so that no Heavenly Emperor in Qianyuan Realm can contend with him."

After he finished speaking, the light in his eyes slowly faded, and his physical body and primordial spirit dissipated into the world.

Just now, when Xiang Yuan shattered Senior Jiang, Zhang Tianyang keenly sensed that as Senior Jiang's body dispersed into the world, the coordinate lights of the long river where Qianyuan Realm was located shone brightly, constantly transmitting information outward.

Come on, let's have some fun!

This act of revealing one's own origins will attract the powerful attention of other Heavenly Dao origins, and the Heavenly Emperor who planted the coordinates in Senior Jiang's body will also cross the long river to come.

It was only then that Zhang Tianyang understood why Senior Jiang always gave him the feeling that he might be stuck with something bad.

It's not a misperception; you really will end up with something you don't want.

Moreover, his original plan was to use Senior Jiang to suppress the human world, and once the order of the three realms was restored, he would let him dissipate into the world.

This was the safest plan, and it just so happened to be exactly what the Heavenly Emperor wanted, precisely targeting him and opening the gates of the Qianyuan Realm wide open.

Although Zhang Tianyang didn't know how Senior Jiang entered and exited other worlds or who acted as his guide, the thought of this scheme still made him tremble with fear, and he broke out in a cold sweat for his future self.

Fortunately, he has no future!
The one who should be worrying about the future is Ji Wuzhou, that stinky salted fish.

Does this guy even deserve to be the Heavenly Emperor?
What a joke! Such a disgrace to the Heavenly Emperor would only bring shame upon him!

Zhang Tianyang looked down on Ji Wuzhou and didn't approve of him from the bottom of his heart. While dissipating and burying his coordinates, he also sent his Heavenly Emperor Dao Seed into Xiang Yuan's body.

In this way, Ji Wuzhou, though the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, lacks the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed and is incomplete, making it difficult for him to wield the Mandate of Heaven; Xiang Yuan possesses the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed, but is not the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor and is also incomplete, thus unable to represent the Mandate of Heaven.

The next Heavenly Emperor will be on the scene soon. The Qianyuan Realm can't even gather a complete Heavenly Mandate. What can their makeshift team do to compete with the other side? Defeat is inevitable.

"I will take my leave first; do not keep me too long..."

Swish!
A beam of chaotic light struck, silencing Zhang Tianyang and completely obliterating his body, which had not yet dissipated, turning it into ashes and crumbling into pieces.

At the same time, some coordinate information was also erased.

"Is it just my imagination? I feel like there's something else inside my body..."

Xiang Yuan's eyes twitched. He raised his hand and touched his chest. There was something inside his body that he couldn't see, touch, or probe. The scene seemed familiar; he had experienced it twice before.

This is the third time!

There's nothing strange about getting equipment drops from monsters. Xiang Yuan got equipment drops three times and was very clear about what had appeared in his body.

curse!

The Heavenly Emperor is most skilled at cursing, so this must be a curse.

That's right, that's exactly it, no arguments accepted.

"Also, what's the meaning of Senior Jiang having his coordinates set by a certain Heavenly Emperor after leaving this realm? Does the Qianyuan Realm have guides?"

"Who could it be? It's so hard to guess!"

"You'd better not let Xiang find out, otherwise he'll grab your wives and sleep with them one by one!"

"Forget it, let Xiang Yuan deal with the troubles later. I won't worry about it today..."

Xiang Yuan waved his hand and took out a black Taoist robe, quickly put it on, and sensed his surroundings, trying to find a way to leave this place.

Upon closer inspection, they found Xiao He trembling in the corner.

When gods fight, mortals suffer; Xiao He was almost beaten to death.

"Oh, my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law, Brother Xiao, the Grand Steward of the Heavenly Sect, and the Prince of Western Chu are also here. As expected of the small world where Yan Xuanhe passed away, it can actually accommodate so many people."

Xiang Yuan stared with dead fish eyes and complained, "This world is about to be shattered, and he actually survived. Is he a cockroach? It's really... well, it's something to celebrate."

Xiang Yuan made a sudden escape and went to find Xiao He.

He didn't need to find a way to break through this realm; he had just glanced at it and saw that people outside were already banging on the door.

Led by Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master, none of them were outsiders. A group of wicked women smashed things up, making Xiang Yuan's mouth dry. He wished he could stay there for half a year and drag Xiao He along to collect tree branches.

……

The Thirty-Six Heavens, the Great Luo Heaven.

Ji Wuzhou was in charge of the changes in the order of the three realms. As the hub of heaven and earth, half of his body was integrated into the origin of the Heavenly Dao. Because he was a useless nobody, he was disliked by the Heavenly Dao for being inefficient and was kicked several times to make him hurry up.

To be honest, we really misunderstood Ji Wuzhou this time. It wasn't that he was inefficient, but that he didn't have the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed and couldn't fully integrate into the origin of the Heavenly Dao, so he couldn't speed up even if he wanted to.

For the Qianyuan Realm now, Xiang Yuan is more suitable to integrate with the origin of the Heavenly Dao. If he were to take over, the efficiency would undoubtedly be much faster.

Ji Wuzhou was terribly schemed against by Zhang Tianyang. Although half of his body was integrated into the origin of the Heavenly Dao, he could not enjoy any of the benefits of the stable order of the Three Realms.

Not only did they not receive the benefits of becoming emperor, but they also had to bear all the backlash!
A complete tool!
Because of Ji Wuzhou's clever idea back then, he cleverly passed the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed to Xiang Yuan. After a series of changes, Zhang Tianyang's plan was only halfway through when he successfully got himself killed.

Ji Wuzhou, who was unwittingly plotting against Zhang Tianyang, unexpectedly won the competition for the throne, defeating Zhang Tianyang without even realizing it.

Hey, I slept for a while and became the Heavenly Emperor!

Zhang Tianyang is dead. There is only one reincarnated Heavenly Emperor in the Qianyuan Realm. Perhaps because of the lack of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed, Ji Wuzhou is somewhat unworthy of the title of Heavenly Emperor. But who can blame him for being so close? Half of his body is stuck in the origin of the Heavenly Dao, and it just so happens to be the time when the order of the Three Realms is re-established.

No matter how much Heaven despises this stinky salted fish, it dares not act recklessly at this critical juncture. It turns a blind eye, then another, and grits its teeth to acknowledge this Heavenly Emperor.

Just you!
The moment he received the Heavenly Dao's helpless approval, the blank look on Ji Wuzhou's face suddenly disappeared, his expression brightened, and his temperament underwent an epic enhancement. His eyes lowered, as if they contained an endless galaxy, and his entire face exuded an aura of dominance that could not be defied, as if he could decide the fate of the world with a single thought and suppress the three realms with a single palm.

With the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor, he reigns supreme over the world!
He can only be handsome for three seconds!
His brows suddenly furrowed, and the character "霸" (ba, meaning domineering) between his eyebrows twisted and deformed into a silly "八" (ba, meaning eight). His newly risen aura instantly weakened dramatically, turning him from a Heavenly Emperor who suppressed the Three Realms into a bewildered accountant forced onto a donkey.

This analogy isn't quite right. Imagine an office clerk picking up a math exam paper from ten years ago, looking at the pages full of formulas, unable to find a single multiple-choice question, feeling completely lost and helpless.

Ji Wuzhou: (一_一)
What does this law of the underworld mean? It seems so complicated...

The world has been reshaped, how would I know...?

Can't the order of the Three Realms be changed on its own?

Where is my disciple, my virtuous student Xiangyuan?

...... Xiangyuan: (1_1)
Ji Wuzhou faced an epic challenge: due to the lack of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed, he was unable to smoothly deduce the order of the Three Realms. Xiang Yuan's situation was no better.

Overturned!
Not long after Xiang Yuan found Xiao He, a sharp sword pierced through and forcibly opened the portal. Figures floated down, trapping Xiang Yuan in a corner, making him tremble with fear.

Fortunately, Xiao He was righteous and pushed to the front despite his cursing, forcing him to protect his disliked brother behind him.

Xiang Yuan didn't quite understand why Xiao He was here, but since they had already come all this way, it would be impolite to let them leave empty-handed.

People can't, at least they shouldn't!
Here, take this pot away.

"It's all his fault, it's all his fault!"

Xiang Yuan asked everyone to calm down and explained the seven major crimes committed by Xiao He. He said that, to his shame, Xiao He bears an unshirkable responsibility for how things have developed to this point.

Xiang Yuan wasn't just talking nonsense; with a slight smirk, she had her own set of seemingly logical but ultimately flawed arguments.

It's a long story, but to make a long story short, let's start with the little constable from Fengxian County. All the marriages that happened to him were because of Xiao He!

Xiao Lingyue goes without saying; she is Xiao He's younger sister, born of the same parents. It was Xiao He who arranged this marriage. Xiang Yuan and Chan'er met because Xiao He took him to the Southern Frontier in disguise. The vixen had ulterior motives, and the pretty boy was full of empty talk. They started as bickering lovers and eventually got together.

Even the ill-fated relationship of Jianxinzhai started with Xiao He!

"What does this have to do with me?"

Xiao He was completely bewildered. Although he didn't know what Xiang Yuan was talking about, he knew that the scoundrel was definitely trying to dig a hole and shift the blame.

I absolutely refuse to admit it!
"You shameless bastard, still saying it has nothing to do with you? If you hadn't caught Sima Qingyan red-handed and forced her to infiltrate the Yellow Springs Path, would I have saved her, escorted her back to Sword Heart Pavilion, and then caught up with the Sword Master's lifespan running out..."

"Blah blah blah... Waibi waibi..."

After arguing his point, Xiang Yuan managed to find some truth in what seemed like a nonsensical argument. When he saw that Xiao He was about to refute him, he flew into a rage and threw a straight punch, knocking Xiao He unconscious.

How could Xiao He, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly withstand a punch from a Body Integration cultivator? Moreover, Xiang Yuan, born with divine strength, silently took all the blame without uttering a sound.

Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, Brother Xiao, I didn't want this either, but now only you can save me!
Don't worry, the child will be named Xiang He from now on, and he won't really let you leave.

"He~~~tui!"

Xiang Yuan spat on Xiao He and said with disgust, "You still dare to argue even now? I have never seen such a shameless person as you. If it is true, it is; if it is not, it is not. How could I possibly wrong you!"

As he spoke, he looked at everyone with a serious expression: "This is the cause of all the consequences, the source of all evil, and the beginning of all karmic entanglements. Heaven above, I have always been irreconcilable with gambling and drugs. If I have uttered even the slightest falsehood today, may I be struck by lightning."

He swore a solemn oath and stood silently to the side, telling everyone to settle their scores and not to be polite to him.

Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master ignored it, knowing full well that the karmic entanglement between themselves and Xiang Yuan was too deep for Xiao He to handle. Even without Xiao He's mediation, people like Zhang He and Li He would have jumped out.

Moreover, the two of them entered this realm not to demand an explanation from Xiang Yuan.

The White House Chief, who prides himself on being aloof, only views the elixir of immortality as having medicinal properties, showing no affection for it, let alone any other kind of emotion beyond friendship.

Su Ran Sword Master wasn't that aloof; she had already given up and was going with the flow, letting things develop to whatever extent she wanted.

As we drifted along, we happened to stumble upon something interesting and stopped to watch.

Moreover, the two had another purpose in entering this realm.

The order of the Qianyuan Realm has been restored, and the Heavenly Emperor is about to ascend to the throne. As the representative of the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are under the Heavenly Emperor's control. Those who do not wish to become the Heavenly Emperor's dogs and be driven by him from now on must find a place unaffected by the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

Opening the gates of Jambudvipa and fleeing to other worlds is one way.

The place where Yan Xuanhe passed away can also be considered a place of rest.

Neither of these methods is a long-term solution; one can escape for a time, but not forever. The key lies in the fundamental principles of Heaven. Only by grasping the laws of Heaven and obtaining original shares can one be qualified to be free from the control of the Heavenly Emperor.

Regarding the original shares, Xiang Yuan had previously discussed it with Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Venerable. The two powerful women would first find a place to take refuge, and once he had copied the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Qianyuan Realm, he would find the two powerful women and ask them to copy them as well.

In this way, there's no need to worry about living like a puppet.

Neither Bai Wuyan nor Su Ran Sword Master revealed at the time where they sought refuge.

Bai Wuyan's original intention was to go to the Yellow Springs Road, find the Corpse Queen Mother, and escape this calamity under her protection. Now, she feels that the Corpse Queen Mother is unreliable and has abandoned the idea of ​​going to the Yellow Springs Road.

Su Ran Sword Master knew about the place where Yan Xuanhe passed away long ago, and this place was his initial target.

Their coming here was inevitable; they didn't come from afar.

Xiao Lingyue, Chan'er, and Shang Qingmeng were different, especially Shang Qingmeng, who came to demand an explanation.

Yes, fairies do not descend to the mortal world, and it is impossible for them to fall in love with any ordinary mortal, nor would they care about the attitude of ordinary mortals. However, just because fairies do not care does not mean that ordinary mortals will not express their feelings. Treating her as if she were invisible is wrong of Xiang Yuan.

Stared at by three pairs of cold eyes, Xiang Yuan felt his scalp tingle. When he looked at Su Ran Sword Master, who was watching the show without blinking, his scalp tingled even more.

If it weren't for the Sword Master at the door, he would probably have been able to get away with it today thanks to his excellent eloquence. Even if he couldn't get away with it, a few sweet words later would have made him quick to dismiss the matter and let it go.

At most, I'll be mocked a couple of times, but that's it. There's no possibility of me turning against them and going back to my parents' home.

Putting aside the possibility of other scoundrels taking advantage of the situation if we turn against each other now, just considering the sunk costs, if we turn against each other now, haven't we been fooled for nothing before?

With the addition of the Door Crack Sword Master, the situation is different again!
Because he himself was a source of amusement, Xiang Yuan understood amusement people all too well. Amusement people only knew how to kick someone when they were down and offer help when they were in trouble. The Door Crack Sword Venerable had finally caught him out, and he would not let him go today no matter what. Whenever things improved, the Door Crack Sword Venerable would start to stir things up and make the fire burn brightly.

This is no Sword Heart Sect! He would believe it if you told him it was the Original Heart Sect!
As expected, before Xiao Chan could speak or Shang Qingmeng could even make a move, Su Ran Sword Master began to exert his power.

"Hmm, Sima Qingyan of Jianxinzhai, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before..."

Su Ran Sword Master frowned slightly, looking like he had a heavy head. After muttering for a moment, he said loudly, "I remember now. Among the second-generation disciples of Sword Heart Sect, there is a grand-disciple named Sima Qingyan."

With a serious face, she described Sima Qingyan's appearance and figure: the top student senior had both good looks and a great figure, she was really good-looking!

"I heard from Lingyu that Qingyan was troubled by love because of her heroic rescue of a damsel in distress. Her sword heart was unclear and she could not get out of it. She wanted to find a way to break through the emotional barrier by severing the seven emotions and six desires, so I bestowed this method upon her."

As Su Ran Sword Master said this, he stared intently at Xiang Yuan: "Oh, so you're the hero who saved the beauty... No, you actually plan to wipe out three generations of my Sword Heart Sect in one fell swoop!"

Xiang Yuan: ∑(O_O;)
No, I didn't do it. My relationship with my senior is innocent, and we haven't been in contact for a long time.

This completely wronged Xiang Yuan. Heaven help him, he really hadn't seen Sima Qingyan in a long time; his last impression of her was in the Yellow Springs. At that time, Sima Qingyan had been captured by Chan'er, locked in the basement, tied up, and stripped naked.

That was so long ago!
Therefore, Xiang Yuan could confidently guarantee that he really didn't remember Sima Qingyan. Even if his senior were dressed up, he might not be able to recognize her now.

"Sword Master, don't spread rumors here..."

"Speaking of which, you've always had a great appetite. Given your usual style, it's impossible that you'd only satisfy Qingyan, your only disciple, so..."

Sword Master Su Ran interrupted, not giving Xiang Yuan a chance to clear his name. Still not satisfied, he spat and said indignantly, "Well, you've also ruined my disciple Ling Yu! How outrageous! You clearly don't respect Qing Meng at all!"

And Ah Ping too!

Xiang Yuan silently reminded himself that although A Ping might be useless, participation was the key, and he couldn't let her fall behind.

"I almost forgot, there's also Ah Ping. You clearly don't take them seriously!"

Su Ran Sword Master was furious. He chuckled and spat as he described Ling Yu Jushi's figure and appearance. He had both good looks and a good figure, and the allure of the layman's monk's robes was irresistible. He was incredibly handsome!

"I really don't have that!" Xiang Yuan retorted decisively, daring to swear on his own integrity.

"That's a good idea, and besides, where did you get your integrity from?"

Su Ran Sword Master complained, then beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying that he had met the wrong person and blamed himself for being blind and letting the wolf into the house, which caused Sword Heart Sect to be full of sisters everywhere.

"Um?!"

Upon hearing Shang Qingmeng's cold voice, Su Ran Sword Master decisively changed his tune, muttering a complaint that Fairy Shang had met the wrong person, letting a wolf into the house, which resulted in Sword Heart Sect being filled with sisters everywhere.

After speaking, he noticed Bai Wuyan's disdainful gaze and immediately felt embarrassed.

How shameful! I lost to my apprentice, becoming a haggard old woman!
Just as Xiao Lingyue complained about her master and envied other people's humble masters, Su Ran Sword Master was no different; she also envied other people's humble disciples.

The disciples of Jianxinzhai started by calling her a lowly servant girl and using extremely vulgar language. The disciples of Wushuang Palace, on the other hand, knew that their master had taken their man, but they not only acted as if nothing had happened, but even avoided each other when they met face to face, leaving their master room to shout, for fear of affecting their master's performance.

Regardless of whether it's just a rumor or not, that's what You Rong said!
Su Ran Sword Master came to watch the fun, not to be the fun himself. He pointed his sword at Xiang Yuan and said, "Tell me, besides these sisters here, and A Ping, A Yu, and A Qing, who else do you have as lovers?"

Who are you calling your sister?! x4
A string of glares swept through the room, but no one stood up to rebuke the lowly servant. They stared intently at Xiang Yuan, thinking that pretending to be dead was useless. They wanted to take advantage of the large number of people present and quickly make things clear.

The situation was firmly under the control of the people who were having fun, and they were managing to set the pace perfectly.

Xiang Yuanren was completely dumbfounded. Apart from the green tea bitch and academic underachiever in the backyard of the Overlord's Mansion, everyone who was supposed to come had come. As for Ayu and Aqing, they were just made up out of thin air.

At least that's how it is in the Qianyuan Realm!

Xiangyuan: (一''一)
Huh, outside the Qianyuan Realm...

"Speak up, haven't you finished counting yet?"

"Indeed, there is someone else. I and Guanyin Bodhisattva are in love. According to my usual style, they are also a master and disciple on the other side." Xiang Yuan confessed truthfully, admitting that he had someone else outside.

"..." x5
If you're not going to tell me, fine, but who are you trying to fool?! x5
"What kind of looks are those? Who are you looking down on? I'm not lying to you!" Xiang Yuanzhen said in a deep voice.

They all saw it; he confessed voluntarily and told the truth. It was they who didn't want to believe him. If the truth comes out later, they shouldn't wrong him anymore.
