This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 544 The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's flirtatious glances were wasted.
Two deities in the Qianyuan Realm particularly wanted to beat Xiang Yuan to a pulp: one was the Queen Mother of the West, who was under house arrest, and the other was the Goddess of the Six Paths.

The reason for wanting to beat up Xiang Yuan was the same: being tricked into a marriage would make anyone instinctively reject it.

If you can't resolve the calculations of marriage, then resolve the issue of the person destined for you.

The frustrating thing is that Xi Wangmu can't deal with Xiang Yuan. In the Qianyuan Realm, Xiang Yuan has absolute control over her. The fact that he didn't give birth to a junior brother for his disciple is entirely due to Xiang Yuan's moral bottom line.

Even the Goddess of the Six Paths couldn't defeat Xiang Yuan. She wasn't controlled by Xiang Yuan, but she was controlled by herself. All her actions were inseparable from the six fusion materials.

The most outrageous thing is that she was able to beat up Xiang Yuan, which was decided by a vote of six fusion materials.

I only care about him, I can't bring myself to do it, so you can vent your anger on me. x6
Just thinking about it made the Goddess of Six Paths feel extremely upset. If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have hesitated to return in the first place.

……

The summit of the West Kunlun Mountains.

While still in confinement, the Queen Mother of the West glanced sideways at the easternmost edge of the Taiji Misty Sky and saw two figures, one black and one white, standing opposite each other. She thought to herself, "How boring."

Go flirt somewhere else, don't disturb the peace here.

The Queen Mother of the West closed her eyes and snorted coldly, showing no interest in watching the battle or in its outcome.

Then I took another look.

They were expecting flirtatious banter but didn't know how to keep things in check, and ended up turning on each other and fighting.

If possible, one of them should kill the other!
In terms of strength and cultivation, only Xiang Yuan should die. The Queen Mother of the West had high hopes for this and, against her conscience, gave the Six Paths Goddess some spiritual support.

At the easternmost edge of the thirty-two heavens, he raised his hand and pointed into the distance, receiving a false destiny and using his privileges to carve out a vast world for himself.

In the void and chaos, light and darkness intertwined, and purity and turbidity separated, evolving into a new world on their own.

The boundary is boundless and vast.

Xiang Yuan only asked to open up a new world, without interfering with the world's self-evolution, allowing it to develop freely.

Upon entering, one feels as if transported to the beginning of time, when all things were unsettled and all phenomena awaited creation.

The heavens hang high, stars revolve, and the sun and moon revolve—all governed by the laws of nature. Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas evolve naturally, the earth is vast, vegetation lush, and primordial energy abundant, even more plentiful than the true Three Realms.

The fact that a fictional world could evolve into something so real shows how important the concept of demons is. Without this catfish relentlessly pursuing them, the laws of heaven and earth would not have updated themselves so rapidly, evolving to their current level.

As a result, the gods' divine power increased, and they were able to borrow even more divine mandates from distant lands.

Due to personal preference, the performance style is faster and stronger.

The Goddess of Six Paths swept her gaze across the entire scene expressionlessly. The scene was strangely familiar, strikingly similar to the primordial world. Back then, the concept of the Three Thousand Worlds didn't exist. The Heavenly Dao was one, and the world consisted of only the Primordial Chaos. She had simply taken a nap, and the Primordial Chaos shattered into the Three Thousand Worlds. No one knew who had done it.

"Goddess, what is this world like?"

"It is merely the power of the Heavenly Emperor; there is nothing particularly remarkable about it."

The Goddess of Six Paths knew that Xiang Yuan was flexing his muscles, or rather, trying to demonstrate the excellence of the Qianyuan Realm, but she was not interested in it. She only wanted to beat Xiang Yuan up to relieve her frustration.

She raised her hand and scattered the ancient mirror of reincarnation, which could not harm Xiang Yuan, into the void, making the law of reincarnation omnipresent. This easily severed the connection between Xiang Yuan and the origin of the Heavenly Dao, preventing him from receiving the mandate of heaven.

The Queen Mother of the West's assessment was quite fair; Xiang Yuan's performance was decent, but compared to these veteran deities, there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Despite losing the Mandate of Heaven, Xiang Yuan didn't mind at all. He keenly sensed the constraints placed on the Six Goddesses and silently gave a thumbs up to the six undercover agents.

Clearly, he was unaware that the Six Paths Goddess wanted to beat him up not only because of her own will, but also because of the six abstentions.

It doesn't matter if he finds out. What can we do but get divorced? He'll just suffer a little loss, and we'll just live like this!
Xiang Yuan tapped the void with both hands, summoning the Demon-Summoning Banner that connected heaven and earth, generating the power of countless stars. The Kunlun Wordless Book also entered the void, entangled with the Reincarnation Mirror, and interfered with the opponent's ability to properly understand the principles of reincarnation.

Although there are six undercover agents, the Six Goddesses won't suddenly bring out the River of Time and flood the Qianyuan Realm during the battle, but it's always better to be prepared.

The Nine Immortal Mountains of West Kunlun have the effect of suppressing all things, so Xiang Yuan has not yet used this magic weapon. The Nine Extremes Dao Platform is the largest tortoise shell protective shield in the Qianyuan Realm, and Xiang Yuan has no intention of using it in this battle.

Depending on the situation, he would only consider bringing out these two magical treasures if the Six Paths Goddess offered up the Yellow Spring Mother Tree.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West saw that the wordless book was being controlled by Xiang Yuan, and that its pages were filled with information about the couple's joint property. The slight smile that had just appeared on her face immediately vanished.

I wasn't furious enough to kill myself, but I felt a tightness in my chest and had some difficulty breathing.

Suddenly, a will descended from the void, silently landing on her, causing her already depressed mood to flare up with anger.

The will of the Heavenly Emperor dictated that if the situation on the other side remained unclear, she must immediately go to provide support.

The irresistible command made the Queen Mother of the West grit her teeth in hatred. It was bad enough that he took away West Kunlun, the Book of No Words, and her sword, but he also used her as a magic weapon for sacrifice. This Heavenly Emperor was truly hateful to the extreme.

I deeply regret it. If I had known I would be controlled by Xiang Yuan today, I wouldn't have invested more money back then. I should have killed him when we first met in the Dragon Subduing Realm.

Even so, the Queen Mother of the West knew very well that Xiang Yuan was safe and harmless to her at that time. There was no so-called predestined relationship between the two. It was Xiang Yuan who had schemed and plotted, stepping into all the pitfalls, which led to his unexpected good fortune.

As Lao Tzu once said, the world is so vast that the Way of Heaven is incomplete, and no one dares to claim to have calculated everything. When necessary, it is enough to make slight adjustments, either by weakening or increasing investment, to ensure that the pieces are still under control.

Small changes accumulate into large ones, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Small trends can indeed change the overall trend, but the difficulty lies not in accumulating small trends, but in the moment when the overall trend is formed.

Achieving a qualitative change is not so easy!
Getting back to the main point, Xiang Yuan had made ample preparations for today's battle. Since he couldn't get close to the Goddess of Six Paths, he could only conduct the battle officially, with both sides engaging in a friendly spar to demonstrate the advantages of the Qianyuan Realm and make her obediently work like a beast of burden.

Whether or not they could win, Xiang Yuan didn't really care. He considered the Six Paths Goddess as one of his own, and he was always very generous to his own people.

As long as he doesn't lose, the outcome doesn't matter!
Sensing the chaotic laws of heaven and earth around him, Xiang Yuan nodded secretly. Within his small world, there was another complete set of laws of heaven that remained undisturbed. He threw a punch, delivering an unremarkable blow.

Commanding the laws of heaven and earth with the will of the Heavenly Emperor, bearing great power with the Heavenly Emperor's physical body, concentrating it into a single point, and preparing to punch.

This punch is only for 'me'!
The Nine Paths of Heaven: One Force Breaks All Laws!

The strike was delivered casually, with slow, even somewhat careless movements.

But this strike was the ultimate manifestation of Xiang Yuan's understanding and control over the entire small world.

With a downward thrust of his fist, the Heavenly Emperor's will swept across the world, its immense power impacting the entire realm and forcefully blasting it towards the Six Paths Goddess.

Heaven and earth turned upside down, the universe was overturned, all things seemed to vanish in an instant, and the whole world receded.

The Goddess of the Six Paths cannot evade this world. If she wants to block it, she must withstand the pressure of the entire world. While Xiang Yuan uses his athletic talent, she forces him to confront his talent directly.

Because of the interference, the Six Paths Goddess found it difficult to muster any killing intent towards Xiang Yuan. She weakened herself, and many of the divine abilities that she herself had determined to be lethal were unusable. Even if she did use them, she could not go all out.

Forced to hold back, it was truly difficult for the Goddess of Six Paths to face this attack head-on. A flash of white light appeared in her eyes as she mobilized the power of reincarnation.

The Ancient Mirror of Reincarnation was interfered with by the Wordless Book of Kunlun, making the control of the laws of reincarnation extremely obscure and more than a hundred times slower than usual. The limited amount of reincarnation laws that were mobilized was further hampered by the Demon-Summoning Banner, making it difficult to exert any significant influence and failing to demonstrate any outstanding performance.

Therefore, with a single strike, the figure of the Six Paths Goddess was blasted back by that vast and mighty power, and the world around her was pushed backward.

Her robes fluttered in the wind, her hair flew, and a deep displeasure flashed in her eyes.

You actually hit me?
Pooh!
You guys are holding him back, he's really going to hit you!
Spit again!

The above is not the true meaning of the Six Paths Goddess, but it is roughly the same. Under the heavy constraints, she felt like she was walking on thin ice as soon as the battle began, and seriously suspected that she would fall into a pit after taking only a few steps.

After retreating an unknown distance, the Six Paths Goddess's figure froze, bound by an invisible force.

A powerful pulling force suddenly erupted from the depths of the void, and her body was as if grabbed by an invisible giant hand, violently pulled forward at high speed.

Its speed and strength made it difficult for her to break free.

Xiang Yuan grasped at the air with his left hand, capturing the figure of the Six Paths Goddess. With a gentle squeeze, the Six Paths Goddess was forcibly pulled in front of him, like a chess piece controlled by fate.

With a right fist poised to strike, she raised it without hesitation or delay and smashed it down on the delicate, almost unreal face.

Although it was supposed to be a friendly spar, fists and feet have no eyes, and it's quite normal to get hit in the face!

boom! !

With a muffled thud, the fist shattered the sky and headed straight for the goddess's face.

Alright, alright, you like being slapped in the face, huh? Well then, I'll let you get slapped as much as you want!

The Goddess of Six Paths closed her eyes slightly, as if she was unable to open them due to the pressure of the fist's will, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Suddenly, her entire aura changed abruptly, and her appearance transformed in an instant, from an ethereal goddess into a pitiful enchantress.

'Chan'er' looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, full of grievance and confusion, unable to believe that he would punch her.

Wow, is this even possible?
Xiang Yuan wasn't sure if the Zen'er in front of him was real or fake, but regardless, he couldn't bring himself to hit that face. He almost instinctively wanted to pull his fist back.

He forcibly withdrew three-tenths of his strength, then redirected the remaining force, grazing Chan'er's profile and striking empty air.

Before the shock of the punch had subsided, it pushed away the world behind Chan'er.

Xiang Yuan's door was wide open, and he was approached by Chan'er, whose eyes were full of sorrow. She was biting her lip with tears in her eyes, looking just like a heartbroken woman who had been wronged.

She was truly infatuated, and she was truly capable of taking action.

'Chan'er' pointed her fingers into a sword and struck Xiang Yuan's chest. The power of reincarnation directly affected his internal organs, turning Xiang Yuan's surging blood and energy into a chaotic mess.

Xiang Yuan's face immediately turned red, and blood gushed from his chest and abdomen, down to his throat, and into his mouth.

"Gudu!"

I couldn't bear to spit it out, so I swallowed it back.

With a mouthful of blood medicine, the displaced internal organs returned to their original positions in an instant, and the damage caused by the power of reincarnation in Xiang Yuan's body was repaired in the blink of an eye.

'Chan'er' frowned, glanced at Xiang Yuan with a slightly resentful look, and the next second, her figure, appearance and temperament changed drastically again. She leaned forward and her strong heartbeat nestled tightly against Xiang Yuan's chest.

Xiao Lingyue!
The eldest daughter-in-law always wore black robes when she traveled the martial arts world. Influenced by her, Xiang Yuan also dressed in black. When he suddenly saw Xiao Lingyue in white, he was speechless and closed his eyes.

It can be confirmed that the 'Chan'er' just now was not Chan'er, and the current 'Xiao Lingyue' must also be fake. They are all transformation techniques of the Six Paths Goddess.

If one is bold enough, the Six Paths Goddess can freely switch bodies. Zen'er and Xiao Lingyue are not themselves inside, but their external bodies are exactly the same.

In any other setting, after a three-hundred-round battle, Xiang Yuan would only applaud this skill, calling it the strongest. But right now, it seems he has no choice but to take a beating. Otherwise, what if he throws a punch and Xiao Lingyue asks about it? How would he explain?

Why did you hit me but not Chan'er?
Say something! You were throwing punches with so much force, why are you pretending to be dead now!

Speechless, Xiang Yuan found himself in a pathetic situation where he could only take the beating but couldn't fight back. The smile on his face vanished, and all his attention shifted to the Six Paths Goddess. He didn't complain and silently gathered his strength, waiting for the right moment.

Queen Mother of the West: (_)
So disgusting!
After watching for a moment, the Queen Mother of the West withdrew her gaze with a look of disgust. She only wanted to see rivers of blood, not flirtatious banter. She was so disgusted by this display of affection that she rolled her eyes.

In the center of the battlefield, the Six Paths Goddess precisely grasped Xiang Yuan's weakness, her appearance constantly changing. Because it was herself, whether it was the cold and aloof Bai Wuyan or the warm and gentle Bai Yue Jushi, she could transform into whatever she wanted.

With each shift in his posture, he would unleash a powerful punch, stabbing Xiang Yuan's body with finger after finger.

Putting the real harm aside for now, the key is the satisfaction of having the pretty boy completely under my thumb, finally relieving the pent-up frustration in my heart.

I'm so happy, joyful, and smug! I feel like I could play all day long!

After Bai Wuyan slapped Xiang Yuan across the face, Su Ran Sword Master appeared with a sly smile on his face and delivered a sword punch to Xiang Yuan's pretty boy face.

boom!
The laughter abruptly stopped.

The fist of 'Sword Master Su Ran' stopped three inches in front of Xiang Yuan, and he froze on the spot.

The reason is simple: his wingspan is not long enough.

The camera zooms out, showing a blank expression as someone throws a punch into the distance, landing squarely on the beautiful face of 'Sword Master Su Ran'. The punch even includes a subtle adjustment, as the person takes the opportunity to rub the face twice.

The scene is quite comical.

He couldn't bear to part with any other face, but he had been waiting for this one for a long time!

puff!

When Xiang Yuan withdrew his fist, 'Sword Master Su Ran' looked bewildered, not understanding why he was the one who got beaten up. Feeling wronged by the differential treatment, his nose bled, and his eyes were full of question marks.

"Hehe, isn't that fun!"

Xiang Yuan grinned, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and grabbed 'Sword Master Su Ran's' shoulders with both hands, pulling him into his arms.

Bang!
With a muffled thud, a headbutt landed squarely on foreheads, clean, crisp, and powerful.

'Sword Master Su Ran' was completely dumbfounded. His head was buzzing, his eyes were wide open, and the question marks he was asked not only did not decrease, but increased by a lot.

This headbutt completely stunned the Six Paths Goddess.

I don't understand, I can't figure it out. Aren't all six of them involved in something? Why is it that only Sword Master Su Ran is being targeted?
Deep inside, a voice roared, gritting its teeth, determined to finely chop Xiang Yuan into minced meat. No one answered; the remaining five all agreed, saying it should have been done a long time ago.

A new round of voting, anonymous, five to one, five votes in favor, supporting Xiang Yuan to dare to do it again next time.

I'm just going to stay anonymous!
Xiang Yuan delivered a powerful headbutt, knocking the Six Paths Goddess back into a circle. He then grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into a tight embrace, locking her in place with a deadly hold on his arm.

The original meaning was a rocket headbutt followed by a ground-based throw.

Unexpectedly, the strong heartbeat in my chest grew faster and faster...

Xiang Yuan looked down and saw that the Six Paths Goddess offered no resistance whatsoever, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she seemed somewhat dazed.

Amidst the clash of complex memories, the Goddess of Six Paths felt both repulsion and joy, her gaze incredibly complicated. Noticing Xiang Yuan's gaze, she logged off without a word.

That's all for today. Let's not contact each other again.

The figure in Xiang Yuan's arms turned into white light and dissipated, splitting into six, each standing in a different place, recalling the battle they had just fought, each with a different expression on their face.

Some, like Bai Gongzhu, simply snorted and left, while others, like Bai Yuejushi, shook their heads repeatedly. They were all quite disgusted and resentful that Xiang Yuan had once again taken advantage of them.

Sword Master Su Ran didn't leave. He rushed forward angrily and grabbed Xiang Yuan by the collar: "What do you mean? Aren't you good at playing both sides? Why are you only targeting me?"

"It's not that I'm targeting anyone, but rather that I don't want to keep getting beaten up, so..."

"So you're going to beat me up?!" Sword Master Su Ran's voice rose.

"No, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Xiang Yuan pushed away the hand gripping his collar, but it didn't budge. He explained, "You saw it too. When the Six Paths Goddess couldn't win, she resorted to underhanded tactics. I saw through her sinister intentions but was helpless. I finally managed to react by relying on my firm Dao heart, just in time to see the Sword Venerable's stunningly beautiful face."

"Serves me right for getting beaten up, doesn't it?"

"No, it's purely coincidental. It just happened to be you. Anyone else would have gotten beaten up."

"Then tell me, who will get beaten up?"

"..."

"You bastard, say something!"

Su Ran Sword Master was furious, tears welling up in her eyes. She could imagine how unrestrained the old woman was laughing right now.

Xiang Yuan put his hand on the shoulder and pulled the person into his arms, raising an eyebrow: "Not bad, the plan is going smoothly. Now it's just the two of us. After we get rid of them all, shall we go to your room or mine?"

Plain-Dyed Sword Master: ()
She's no longer a two or three hundred-year-old girl. This kind of nonsense, without a single sweet word, is just trying to fool someone!
This matter is not over until we make things clear today!
"Go to my room."

Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Once something happens, it will happen again; once it happens, it will happen a third time. After a successful experience of fusion summoning, the Six Paths Goddess appeared much more often in the following period.

However, she became noticeably colder towards Xiang Yuan, ignoring him completely and responding with a cold laugh no matter what he said.

To achieve the goddess look, all that's missing is being 'busy' or 'going to take a shower'.

It is certain that the Six Paths Goddess was unable to fully return to her former self because her return was interrupted. She can be summoned as a unified entity, but she must follow the voice deep within her heart and be bound by 'herself'.

He doesn't seem to be in a good mood!
Xiang Yuan didn't take the opportunity to comfort her, since his very existence was the biggest provocation to the Six Paths Goddess. Instead, he tried a different approach, inviting her to eat peaches.

The location was on the summit of West Kunlun Mountain, in front of the Queen Mother of the West.

In the Great Luo Heaven, Ji Wuzhou was still preoccupied with searching for the hiding place of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Logically speaking, since the Xuanxu Realm has been reduced to a lower realm of the Qianyuan Realm and the ascension passage has been opened, nothing, no matter how small, can escape the eyes of Xiang Yuan and Ji Wuzhou.

But they just couldn't find where the other party was hiding.

This was so outrageous that Xiang Yuan began to suspect that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had only stayed in the Mystic Realm for a short while, and that her true form had already left.

He Hua Zizai Tian insisted that the Xuanxu Realm held a different secret...

Considering this guy's poor judgment and his penchant for going against people, it's possible he's fallen into the trap set by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and has been constantly battling wits with the air in the Mystic Realm.

It is highly likely, because it is the manifestation of the divine, and Xiang Yuan believed in it.

But Ji Wuzhou was idle anyway, and being a lazy bum was no different from being a lazy bum, so Xiang Yuan didn't voice his speculation. Instead, he casually pulled out a large pancake and told Ji Wuzhou to work hard and try to find out about the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the other wandering deities who were committing crimes as soon as possible.

……

On this day, the Jade Emperor issued an edict summoning the True Martial Emperor to meet him at the Mi Luo Palace.

"What? You dug it up?"

Xiang Yuan stared at Ji Wuzhou in disbelief, then picked at his ear with a hint of doubt, seriously suspecting that he was hallucinating.

There's no reason for this! When did a broken sampan become so reliable?

"It has been found, but..."

"But there's always a problem," Ji Wuzhou said solemnly. "Rather than saying that I found him, it's more accurate to say that he deliberately created a flaw, revealing his aura to draw my attention."

"I'll just say it!"

Xiang Yuan nodded repeatedly, looking as if he had just seen it. Seeing Ji Wuzhou pouting in dissatisfaction, he decisively followed up, saying, "Just as I predicted, under your heavy blockade, Master, the other party had nowhere to hide and eventually revealed a flaw."

That's pretty much it!
Seeing that Xiang Yuan took the initiative to admit his mistake, Ji Wuzhou generously decided not to pursue the matter further. He waved his hand and pointed in the air, and the water curtain and light revealed an ancient marshland with dense reeds and crisscrossing waterways.

"This is the place. According to the Xuanxu Realm, this place is called Liangshan Marsh."

"..."

Xiang Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then slapped his forehead. That's right, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden bestowed the Heavenly Book upon Song Jiang, saying that he was acting on behalf of Heaven and that his destiny was fulfilled.

They left clues early on, indicating the destination!
Because he killed the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Heavenly Realm, he quickly completed the Water Margin storyline by divine mandate. To be precise, he collected all 108 general star cards while the story was still in the setup stage, so he did not enter Liangshan Marsh.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's flirtatious glances were wasted.

Later, Xiang Yuan guessed that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden exerted her power again, but because Ji Wuzhou was guarding her, therefore...

Because of respect for teachers and the importance of teaching, Xiang Yuan will not criticize the broken sampan's professional skills here. In short, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden tried many times but failed each time, so she simply laid her cards on the table and directly revealed her own situation.

This immediately ruined the mystery!

"but……"

"The door was half-closed, inviting me to come and invite you, rather than coming to me on my own initiative. What an arrogant attitude."

Xiang Yuan raised his hand and touched his chin. Whether it was a welcome banquet or a trap, opening champagne halfway through was not advisable, and it was too early to draw conclusions.

"Disciple, what do you think?"

“They’ve already sent me an invitation, so of course I’ll go in and take a look. The Qianyuan Realm is strong and well-equipped; there’s no reason for them to be scared off by such a scene.”

Xiang Yuan squinted; he not only wanted to go inside and see, but also wanted to organize a group of people to forcefully surround and watch from outside.

If it's a good banquet, everyone will be happy as long as the guests and hosts are having a good time. If it's not a good banquet, smashing a glass is the signal, and we can take it down directly with inside help!
