From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 128 Background
The sky was full of red glow. On the mountain road, the black kitten was climbing the Tiger Mountain, which was on the border of her jurisdiction, with fear and caution.

"boom!"

On the top of the mountain, Chen Xuan took action directly. The Lord of the Mountain had ordered him to take revenge, so of course he had to seize it. He burst out with all his immortal energy, and seven-colored flames shot up into the sky. He was like a burning furnace more than ten meters high, and he jumped directly into the Cui family.

Not only Chen Xuan, but all the tiger cubs of the Hu family followed suit. Their iron tower-like bodies drew platinum-colored streaks in the air.

In an instant, Chen Xuan and six other running shadows rushed out, passed by Cui Tianhe on both sides, and rushed towards more than ten people from the Cui family.

"Hah!" Chen Xuan stared directly at an old man from the Cui family. The old man had a fierce look in his eyes. He had just been sweeping Chen Xuan like a knife. Now he was going to attack him first.

"Who do you think you are if you don't use your peerless treasure!" The old man was fearless. He opened the Taoist Canon of the Bird that he practiced, and six thick red arms rushed towards Chen Xuan like an overwhelming force.

"Ah!" The old man screamed. Chen Xuan swung his fist with seven-colored precious light flowing in it, and beat the old man's palm and entire arm into a ball of bloody mist.

The old man collapsed at the first touch and was facing life and death crisis in an instant. The phoenix Taoist immediately took him and turned around to escape.

"Why are you running!" Chen Xuan chased after him in three or two steps, grabbed the old man's hair, and punched the old man in the back like a cannonball, and fairy light mixed with blood splashed everywhere.

"Ah!" The old man flew dozens of meters away, his back cracked like a spider web, his spine broken, and it was obvious that he was not going to survive.

"You idiot Daozang, you're nothing but an embroidered pillow!" Chen Xuan threw the old man's hair in his hand. This old man was an ordinary Daozang cultivator from the second heaven, and he killed him in an instant.

However, the Cui family is not entirely composed of mediocre people. There are extremely powerful people in the Daozang realm. Chen Xuan quickly looked for his next target.

Cui Che.

There was another middle-aged man with a powerful aura, likely a prominent figure from the previous generation of the Cui family. Like Cui Che, he was being fully nurtured by the Qinghe Cui clan and had a high probability of becoming a Dinglu master in the future.

"You, don't look for me..." Cui Che had just recovered from his injuries not long ago. When he met Chen Xuan's gaze at this moment, his scalp tingled and he immediately retreated behind the crowd.

He knew that Chen Xuan had many trump cards such as the Thunder God Bow, the Human Emperor Banner, etc., so he did not dare to fight with him. If he was not careful, he would die.

Cui Che believed that Cui Tianhe would not really condone Chen Xuan and let him kill all the members of the Cui family. Therefore, he decided to avoid Chen Xuan's attention for the time being.

"Hit them hard and show them how powerful we are!" In the distance, the tiger with a knife on its back yelled fiercely, waving his knife. Then, he quickly took the four-tusked elephant and hid in the cave at the back to avoid being affected by the fight.

But the next moment, he and the four-tusked elephant ran out of the cave and fled madly towards the back of the mountain, ready to get away from Tiger Mountain.

"If father fights with Cui Tianhe, Tiger Mountain will collapse and we will be buried in the cave, and then we will be doomed." Hu Da grabbed the big ears of the four-tusked elephant and ran away.

These little immortal ghosts cannot get too close to the powerful ones in the cauldron. It is best not to even watch their fights. If they are not careful, they will be affected and die without knowing how.

Cui Tianhe's face was solemn. Behind him, his clansmen were fighting with Chen Xuan and others. As soon as they started fighting, someone died under Chen Xuan.

But at this moment, Cui Tianhe had no reaction and did not stop Chen Xuan from killing immediately.

Because Shanjun acted too strong. He was clearly injured, but he was unscrupulous and deliberately spoke to provoke him. He also asked Chen Xuan to kill his own people in front of him. All this made Cui Tianhe feel uneasy.

"Tiger, what are you relying on? The old turtle is as good as dead, who can help you?" he asked.

Cui Tianhe knew that the tiger and the old turtle had been working on behalf of the Southern Wilderness.

Therefore, he has a wide range of friends, including many big ghost friends. For example, the four-tusked elephant that just escaped is related to the legendary six-tusked white elephant.

"Mountain Ghost, she has detained many big ghosts and monsters in the Southern Wilderness!" Cui Tianhe said coldly.

He had fought with the old turtle in Shangyang Cave for a long time, so he knew that it had no chance of returning, but he didn't know much about the whereabouts of other big ghosts.

But he knew one thing, that is, the Mountain Ghost Queen was harsh and ruthless. She coldly and forcibly detained many big ghosts in the cave and did not let them return... They must be a group of big ghosts who loyally followed the Mountain Ghost.

This method is very cruel. Even if the mountain ghost can really defeat the other four true gods and become an immortal, those big ghosts will be in great danger. They will either die in battle or die miserably of old age during the years that the mountain ghost seeks immortality.

"You are afraid of this and that, Cui Tianhe, how dare you come to Hushan!" Shanjun sneered.

"I didn't sense any aura of other big monsters nearby. There are only you and me at the Dinglu realm here." Cui Tianhe said, feeling even more confused.

A trace of disdain appeared on the tiger's apple-sized face, and he said:
"Of course not. I've found them one by one these days and personally ordered them not to return to the Southern Wilds!"

"They?" Cui Tianhe stared at the voice.

The tiger looked up, his eyes passed over Cui Tianhe's head, and gazed at the sky farther away.

These days, he has been squatting on the highest point of the cliff day and night. Is he feeling the cold wind, pretending to be profound, or complaining without any reason?

That was calling friends and sniffing the big ghost aura coming from the air!
"The senior cultivators from Xiaowen Mansion should be entering Chu territory today, right?" Shanjun suddenly asked.

"They went to look for Xiao Wenfu!" Cui Tianhe's pupils shrank.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, and at the same time, felt a sense of absurdity, because since Emperor Jiang established the State of Chu more than 3,600 years ago, the big ghosts in the southern wilderness have almost never started a fight within the State of Chu.

The powerful states of Chu and Yu did not enter the southern wilderness.

The big ghosts in the southern wilderness would not enter the State of Chu at will.

But now, they are preparing to take the initiative to start a high-level battle in the Chu area where demons and ghosts are forbidden?

"Why not? Ever since the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm emerged, the Southern Wasteland has been silently bearing its brunt for so long. Do they really think we, ghosts, are vegetarians without temper? Now, it's time for other places to get busy!" Shan Jun continued, "No one in the Southern Wasteland dares to bully the weak and attack the person holding her identity jade token!"

The human race established worldly rules and liked to be reasonable in doing things. The monsters were similar to humans and were gradually becoming like human beings.

But the twenty-four ghosts are different. Since the Mountain and Sea Era, they are the closest beings to the ancient mountain gods and ancient strange beasts. Most of them are primitive, wild, bloodthirsty and ferocious.

"You must take this opportunity to break out of the Southern Wilderness!" Cui Tianhe was shocked!
Now that the Five True Lords have all left, there may no longer be a giant in Yaoguang Prefecture that can reach the sky and the earth and span thousands of miles.

Thus, under the command of the Mountain Ghost Queen, the northern part of the Southern Wilderness, which had been law-abiding for thousands of years, began to bar its countless fangs filled with endless malice to the outside world!
……

……

The sky is heading northeast, extending tens of thousands of miles.

Between Chu and Yu Kingdom, there is a vast expanse of barren land, seldom visited by people, and the land is surprisingly flat.

"Moo!"

The sea of clouds was steaming, and a white-brown elephant trunk over a thousand feet long, like a white jade bridge, parted the clouds. Then, six snow-white tusks like mountain peaks appeared as if piercing the sky, and then stood still.

Six-tusked white elephant!

"Bai Gan Gan, the senior cultivators of Xiao Wenfu, must have sensed our aura. Otherwise, they would have entered Chu territory two days ago."

The sound of elephants is like the Buddhist chanting in a temple, rumbling like thunder.

"They'd better make up their minds and come here soon. I'm anxious to go back to Fox Mountain to visit the little fox Baizi."

Above the mountain-like white elephant's head, a red three-tailed fox floats in the air. It has a pointed face and a thin complexion. A white robe emits a white divine glow. A golden divine ring with flowing precious light is tied around its waist. Three slender flaming fox tails are all curled up with a top-grade peerless treasure that is dazzling and divine.

The weapon refining master, the three-tailed fox, now displays on his body five top-grade peerless treasures that are no less powerful than the Thunder God Bow!
"hiss!"

A huge white snake swam up along the six-tusked white elephant's legs that were like giant pillars supporting the sky. Then, its golden vertical pupils lit up, and a snake head as big as a house rose into the air, its snow-white scales reflecting a cold luster.

"The Mountain King went to great lengths to contact us one by one, asking us to sneak here and wait for the Little Plague Mansion. He's truly worthy of being the poor little dog picked up by the Mountain Ghost Queen. He's incredibly loyal, and can't bear to see his master's little toy suffer even the slightest injustice... He's willing to work with us to explore the mountain's divine scroll as a reward."

The third big ghost from Dinglu!
On the ground, in the clouds, in all directions of heaven and earth, there were several other sounds in succession, some majestic, some sneering, and some violent.

"The Mountain Ghost Queen was so kind and suppressed the Southern Wilderness for thousands of years. The outside world really thought the Southern Wilderness was some kind of paradise..."

"Oh, humans and demons should build a statue for the Mountain Ghost Goddess, kneel down and kowtow, worship and pray every day, only then can we repay the mountain ghost's kindness!"

"I heard the mountain king has returned to his ancestral form? Is he trying to find life after death, returning to the unity of the nine? What good luck."

"The little toy left by the Mountain Ghost Goddess has helped him so much by obtaining the Human Emperor Banner. Can you return and give it to us to open our eyes?" "The senior cultivators from the Small Plague Palace are here."

Under the distant sky, several giant figures with horns on their heads appeared, thousands of feet high, like a tide.

The gray-green plague covered the sky, insects danced wildly, and half the sky darkened.

"We're finally here. After this battle, we have to go to the Rain Country and talk to the dragons!" The big white snake monster laughed grimly.

How dare the dragon son and daughter of Master Fu Long covet the toys inherited from the Mountain Ghost Lady, and even dream of peacefully ascending the throne to become the Demon King?
The throne palace was smashed to pieces, and the entire royal city was razed to the ground!

The Chu State is just a part of the noble families that have ill intentions towards Chen Xuan, but the Rain State is different. It is the dragon royal family that is taking action, and the meaning is different... This is equivalent to the Rain State standing in opposition to half of the Southern Wilderness.

and so.

Next, the big ghosts in the Southern Wilderness will not be so restrained and polite. They will start from the border of the Rain Country and fight from south to north through the entire ancient dragon country.

A heroic general ghost born from an underground tomb, with eyes like fire, sat astride a bronze warhorse, holding a bronze spear, pointing forward, and shouted:

"If you dare to cause trouble for the Southern Wilderness, I will crush you all into dust!"

A three-tailed fox flew out in the air, followed by a six-tusked white elephant, a white snake, and so on. One after another, huge monsters from the cauldrons and furnaces rushed out like gods on earth, venting the angry roars of the Southern Wilderness.

The earth trembled and the sky and the earth changed color.

……

……

In the southern wilderness, in Tiger Mountain.

The battle was fierce.

Chen Xuan did not use any peerless treasures because he did not want to waste the Jinyu Cream, nor did he use the Human Emperor Banner because Cui Tianhe, the great master of the cauldron, was not far away. If he accidentally snatched it away by him, it would be a waste of time.

"Boom!" He clenched his treasured purple gold jade bracelet in his fist and used the seven-colored immortal energy to fight against the Cui family. At this moment, he was facing the extremely powerful middle-aged Taoist monk of the Cui family, who was definitely a prominent figure of the previous generation of the Cui family.

"The existence of the fifth or even the sixth heaven of Daozang..."

As soon as Chen Xuan started fighting, he felt the opponent's strength, because the thin wisp of Huangliang Qi mixed in the attack did not have any effect on the opponent.

This was his little trick against the enemy, he would often mix a trace of barely visible high-grade immortal energy into his attacks.

Generally speaking, Huangliang Qi is the most useful and often produces miraculous effects... But at this moment, this middle-aged cultivator was not affected at all, as the difference in realm was too great.

"Chen Xuan, the times are different now. Do you think it's still the time to snatch the Human Emperor Banner?" The middle-aged cultivator sneered and launched a counterattack in an instant. Holding a snow-white sword in his hand, he slashed out a brilliant sword energy.

He opened the Taoist Canon recorded in the "Bifang Sutra", his hands turned into red wings, and he rolled the sword. At the same time, his mouth protruded forward, turning into a sharp bird beak, spewing flames. He seemed to be turning into a feathered monster!

"Swish!" Chen Xuan was almost hit by the rushing snow-white immortal energy, but he dodged it at the critical moment. However, immediately afterwards, the opponent's endless sword energy came over like an interwoven net.

The opponent is very powerful. With each higher level of Daozang realm, his strength will increase dramatically.

"Wow!" Chen Xuan put all his effort into it, and the four kinds of Destiny Dao Zang were released at the same time in an instant.

"Ah!" The four little Taoist figures, some with resolute expressions and some with ferocious looks, fought hard to carve out a path in the sword energy that was as surging as a river. Chen Xuan followed closely behind them, and the brilliant light of the four top-grade immortal qi burst out from his fist, and he hit the middle-aged monk with all his strength.

"Boom!" The middle-aged monk fell backwards. The extremely high-level Bifang Daozang saved his life at the last moment, but he was still hit hard. One of his arms like the wings of a divine bird exploded, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"Ah! Master, save me!" The middle-aged cultivator screamed. Chen Xuan was too powerful. Even without using his peerless treasure, it would be difficult to deal with him. He got up after landing, unwilling to risk his life, and rushed directly towards the direction where Cui Tianhe was.

This is a sure win situation. As long as the owner takes action, everything will be settled!

But what was Patriarch Cui Tianhe doing? Why hadn't he taken action yet? Was he condoning Hushan's actions and wantonly fighting the Cui family?

Cui Tianhe didn't even look at the tribesmen being slaughtered. A communication talisman came from his sleeve. He was silent for a moment and said with a smile:

"A good friend of mine sent me news that the Little Plague House had just entered Chu when they were intercepted by a lurking giant ghost from the Southern Wasteland. What a clever trick... Shanjun, are you deliberately plotting against my Cui family by playing them in a trap?"

The tiger frowned, glanced at him, and sneered:
"Are you worthy? Cui Tianhe, how many tripods and furnaces does your Cui family have? Do you need me to go to great lengths to plan? The Mountain Ghost Lady is the Southern Wilderness, but can your Qinghe Cui family represent the entire Chu State?"

The Qinghe Cui family entered the Southern Wilderness today with great momentum, and the clansmen who followed them were all excited. That was because the Southern Wilderness was a behemoth that was one or even several levels higher than the Qinghe Cui family alone.

If the two parties were of equal status, they should have remained calm instead of just flying over the Southern Wilderness as if they had done something earth-shattering, which was ridiculous.

You know, the Southern Wilderness is huge, dozens of times the size of Chu and Rain Country, and its cultural heritage is extremely profound... Although the mountain ghosts have detained many ghosts with ulterior motives, they are still not something that the Qinghe Cui family can confront head-on.

The opponents that Nanhuang really cares about are the entire Chu State, the entire Yu State, and the ancient Taoist temple Xiaowen Mansion.

Cui Tianhe shook his head gently, then smiled and said:

"Tiger, no matter what, at the end of the day, right here and now, there are only you and me, right?"

In any case, after he returned to Chiya City, he immediately made a prompt decision and seized the opportunity to come to Hushan during this special period of emptiness in the Southern Wilderness.

Shanjun's eyes were cold as he said, "It seems you have decided on a path and you will stick to it."

Cui Tianhe laughed and said, "I will arrest Chen Xuan now and escape from Yaoguang Prefecture. I don't believe that the Southern Wilds can deal with me."

He is a powerful cauldron master who dominates one side. It is impossible for him to do nothing after knowing these unexpected things. He can only cut through mountains and fill up the seas!

No matter how profound the foundation of the Southern Wilderness is, as long as there is only one Shanjun at this moment, Cui Tianhe will still come to Hushan without hesitation.

"The Human Emperor Banner is of great benefit to the soul. The chance of [Tao Hongchen] increasing by at least 30%...Longevity and Longevity, Tiger King, it's not just me. Anyone with even a sliver of hope for success would make the same decision as me to capture Chen Xuan."

The middle-aged cultivator rushed towards Cui Tianhe, shouting, "Master, Chen Xuan's strength is strange and extraordinary. Please help me!"

He felt something was wrong and worried that he would capsize in the ditch, so he asked Cui Tianhe for help directly.

Chen Xuan was chasing after him, and just as he was about to catch up, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he stopped, "What's going on?"

"Wow!"

The middle-aged monk rushed to Cui Tianhe and took a deep breath in a relaxed mood, but the next moment, with each breath, a red light lit up from his mouth, spreading along his throat, all the way to his chest and abdomen, followed by an extremely high-temperature red light that expanded to his entire body, and thick black smoke rose from his body.

"Master, you..." The middle-aged cultivator looked horrified. He took a breath beside Cui Tianhe, and suddenly his body burned like a piece of paper. With a puff, he turned into ashes and died.

Cui Tianhe turned his head and looked at Chen Xuan with a pair of bright red-gold eyes. Thumb-sized Bifang birds appeared and danced around his body, radiating red divine light. "Chen Xuan..."

The powerful aura belonging to the powerful Dinglu emanated from the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

A powerful Taoist monk burned himself to death just by breathing near him.

"They even kill their own family members. How inhumane..." Chen Xuan clicked his tongue.

The next moment, Cui Tianhe moved, like a divine bird from the Mountain and Sea Era, flying across the sky and appearing directly behind Chen Xuan.

The next moment, Cui Tianhe flew backwards and crashed into a huge mountain hundreds of meters high in the distance, creating a huge hole that went through it, and the mountain collapsed with a loud bang.

“Long…”

"Who did it?"

Chen Xuan blinked and looked at the tiger king squatting on the ground in the distance. The little dog didn't move.

But a powerful Dinglu who tried to attack him was directly knocked away.
