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

Chapter 166 Elder Yaochen
In the destiny, Chen Xuan used words to persuade Xiao Hou to cooperate and resolve the problem peacefully.

Outside of Tianming, the atmosphere was already tense and ready to explode.

"rumble……"

Behind Xiao Huo, the thousand-foot-tall Yan Emperor Daozang stood like a giant supporting the sky. In the dark, he sensed a sense of crisis.

"call!"

From the mysterious ring, the soul of the black-robed old man emerged, with white mist surging beneath his feet. His expression was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were like those of a wild wolf. He stared at Chen Xuan fiercely and asked:

"Where is Xiao Hu's spirit? What tricks are you playing?"

This is the sound of resonance emitted by the soul, and the cultivators in the lower three realms of the [mortal world] cannot hear it.

However, the old man knew that Chen Xuan would definitely be able to hear it.

He was extremely anxious, as if he was being tortured in a sea of fire and hot oil. Xiao Hu's soul was out of his sight, and he could not estimate what kind of accident was happening in a place he did not know.

Chen Xuan's body stared at the old man, his lips opening and closing as he asked curiously:

"What's your name, old man?"

His present body is within the coverage of his mind and soul, so he can do two things at once and control it normally.

The soul and body have been strengthened several times, and now the coverage area is more than ten miles.

Xinzhai is even stronger. At the beginning, after entering the Tianming Renhuang Banner, it reached more than eighty miles. Later, it entered Tianyan Dao, and now it has entered Yan Emperor Ming. After two consecutive strengthenings, the coverage area has reached more than three hundred miles.

This is a terrifying number.

Chen Xuan can sense the active release and activation of destiny within more than 300 miles, and with his current level of Xinzhai, he can even forcibly recruit those who have accepted the destiny influenced by Xinzhai.

The old man stared at Chen Xuan with a gloomy look and said in a cold voice:
"In this life, my Taoist name is Yao Chenzi."

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and praised:
"Not a bad name... Master Alchemist?"

At the side, a trace of doubt emerged on Xiao Huo's stiff face with difficulty, and then he suddenly realized... Chen Xuan was talking to his invisible master Xuanjie.

He also maintained contact with his mortal body, but the connection was very weak, far from the level of Chen Xuan who was completely free of any sense of stagnation and calm.

……

……

In the destiny, Chen Xuan asked Xiao Huo, who had crawled out of the alchemy furnace and was staring at the scriptures in the air:

"That Yao Chenzi outside, does he want to use you to build a temple, or to make elixirs? I will help you get rid of him."

The old man named Yao Chenzi, who is known for his mysterious ring, has a sinister aura and is not a kind person. He is not the kind old man with a ring as depicted in the vernacular novels.

In this world where the cultivation rules are eerie and terrifying, there are few truly good people.

Xiao Huo's eyes were burning as he was quickly recording the second half of "The True Scripture of Emperor Yan" with full concentration. This was the only chance he had, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Although he did not have a photographic memory, he was quite talented and simply memorizing the scriptures was not difficult for him. However, the scriptures in the Tao Hongchen chapter were obscure and difficult to understand. In many places, he could not even read them smoothly. In order to avoid making mistakes, he needed to memorize them several times.

"Everyone holds what they need."

Xiao Huo stared intently and continued, "Master Yao Chenzi, although he has ulterior motives, he has done me a favor and helped me a lot."

Chen Xuan asked: "So?"

Xiao Huo smiled and said, "If Master hadn't tried to cover up for me all along, I would have been targeted by some powerful alchemy forces long ago. There's no need for you to intervene in this matter. One day in the future, I will solve this matter myself."

Chen Xuan fell silent upon hearing this, then said, "You'd better not play with fire and get burned by him, otherwise it will waste my time for cultivation."

Given the weak state of Elder Xuanjie Yao Chenzi, whether he wants to find a temple or refine elixirs, the best and last opportunity for him to take action will be after Xiao Hou is promoted to Dinglu in the future... Without the Human Emperor Banner and the soul body, Dinglu does not pose much threat to an existence like Yao Chenzi.

However, Xiao Huo seemed to really regard Yao Chenzi as his master.

However, as the "protagonist" of destiny, Xiao Hou has his own life arrangements and seems to be using Yao Chenzi's power to gain time for development. There is no need for Chen Xuan to forcibly take action and be the villain... After all, no one knows whether after defeating Yao Chenzi, there will be a stronger existence to entangle Xiao Hou?
"I know my limits and will not affect your cultivation in the [Mundane] realm."

Xiao Huo said with a smile. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "After you obtained my 'Yan Emperor's True Scripture', do you still need to go to the Two Realms Market to find the 'Two Realms Master'?"

He had heard the conversation between Chen Xuan and Princess Jiang, and knew that Chen Xuan was willing to help in the battle of Luoyue City, in large part because of the smooth holding of the market between the two worlds.

Chen Xuan did not hide anything and answered frankly: "Yes... I heard that the two world masters practiced the True Scripture of Earth Virtue and Heavenly Destiny."

Several of his Taoist followers had had brief contact with the Lord of the Two Realms. He was a relatively upright person with a destiny, and his personality should be easier to get along with than Xiao Huo's.

Xiao Qiong frowned upon hearing this and advised, "I advise you not to look for her. The troubles she has are countless times more troublesome than those of other destiny people."

Chen Xuan asked in confusion: "Why?"

Xiao Qiong replied, "First, Earth Virtue cannot be cultivated. This is not limited to Yaoguang Prefecture. I have traveled through several prefectures and regions throughout the millions of miles of land, and there are no Earth Virtue cultivators anywhere... There will be disasters, and it is impossible to cultivate at all."

"Furthermore, it seems that she is being hunted by some inexplicable existence because of this."

"Secondly, the [Two World Masters] seem to be related to a mysterious special organization."

"Master Yao Chenzi once sternly warned me not to come into contact with the [Two Realm Lords], otherwise I would be stuck in a quagmire and get into big trouble."

"Besides, she's not a good person at all."

"There are rumors that she once plotted to kill a Chosen One, and that she kills many innocent monks every year, a huge number, tens of thousands."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately became alert.

The Lord of the Two Realms was the only one he knew who had completely risen to power... and had once helped him with good intentions.

It goes further than Tianyan Dao.

The ultimate level of Dinglu realm cultivation.

Furthermore, the Two Realm Masters had become a powerful force in their own right. While not as powerful as those ancient Daoist temples with deep roots, they were certainly not to be underestimated. Her business, like a plague, spread across countless states. The Southern Wilds, the Chu Territory... even the Yunmeng Lake millions of miles away, and even further afield, the Middle-earth Divine Land... Wherever the traveling merchants had set foot, their presence was evident.

Rich enough to rival a state is how the outside world describes the two world masters.

But now, Xiao Huo told him that the Lord of the Two Realms was actually a villain who had committed many evil deeds?
Xiao Huo has a good character and they are now on the same boat. He will not exaggerate about these things. Since he said these words, he must be very sure that they are true.

"I'll proceed with caution."

Chen Xuan said slowly, the Lord of the Two Realms is a powerful being of the Heavenly Destiny Cauldron, and is one of the strongest beings besides [Tao Hongchen]... If there is really a problem with him, the degree of danger is even higher than [Tian Yan Dao].

But fortunately, he has Xinzhai, and the initiative is in his hands.

Chen Xuan pondered in his heart, then frowned and asked, "Haven't you memorized the Yan Emperor's Sutra yet?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qie twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed, "Not everyone has a memory as amazing as yours, who can grasp it after just one reading... I'll read it twice more to check for any omissions."

……

……

Beyond destiny.

Chen Xuan's present body is confronting Yao Chenzi, the old man of Xuanjie, and the atmosphere is very tense.

Yao Chenzi's white hair danced as he stared at Chen Xuan sinisterly, his gaze moving back and forth between Chen Xuan and the fluttering Human Emperor Banner, as if he was about to launch an attack the next moment.

"Let Xiao Qie come back..."

He requested strongly. The longer Xiao Hu's soul disappeared, the more uneasy he felt... as if Xiao Hu had a secret from him.

But unfortunately, Chen Xuan waited for a long time, and Yao Chenzi only had a broken soul. He was very afraid of the Human Emperor Banner and only spoke without making any other extraordinary moves.

"Wow!"

At this moment, a white light flashed inside Xiao Huo's body.

Chen Xuan ended his mental fasting, and his soul returned to his physical body. He stretched lazily, then glanced at Xiao Hu and Yao Chenzi without continuing the conversation.

He turned and left, no longer paying attention to the master and disciple with their strange relationship.

Yao Chenzi noticed that Xiao Hou's spirit had returned to his body, and immediately asked with concern, "What did Chen Xuan do to you?"

Xiao Hou replied calmly, "It's just a trivial matter... Master, it's time for us to leave Chu and continue our journey. Yunmengze? Or the Central Plains? Master, your sect's dojo, and the temple where your former body is buried, are both in the Central Plains, right?"

"You..." Yao Chenzi was stunned when he heard the voice. He vaguely felt that this disciple who had relied on him all the way had become inexplicably more confident.

He immediately turned around and took a deep look at Chen Xuan's back... It was all his fault!

"Zheng!"

Chen Xuan drew out the Jingzhe Sword and put the lifeless head of Taoist Liu into the treasure. Then, he walked towards a lush herbal forest farther away that covered an area of several miles.

"Crack!"

The Jingzhe Sword cut through the thorns and bushes, and soon, Chen Xuan found the headless body of Taoist Liu squeezed in the trunk of a big willow tree.

This is his trophy.

Both the head and the body are found. This is a complete body of a tripod furnace, and its value is inestimable.

"There are also different levels of cauldrons. Taoist Liu's low-level cauldrons are completely incomparable to the top masters like Senior Turtle and Lord Shanjun."

Chen Xuan faintly sensed the aura of wood virtue emanating from Taoist Liu's body, and compared it with the old turtle's broken hand, trying to figure out his level of strength.

Afterwards, he collected the headless body of Taoist Liu without checking the treasures on his body. He thought to himself:
"We can't be complacent with just a little bit of success, as we still have a long way to go."

Lord Shanjun was seriously injured and had not yet recovered. Tianyan Dao had to arrange twelve Dinglu elders from the Bu Tian Daochang to stop him.

These are the real powerful ones.

Chen Xuan was thinking about some matters concerning the cultivation of the Dinglu realm.

The three lower realms of the mortal world.

The state of enlightenment, the third heaven.

Daozang Realm, the Sixth Heaven.

The Dinglu Realm is the ninth realm. All nine realms converge into one, until perfection is achieved, nurturing a physical body that reaches the pinnacle.

"As for [Tao Hongchen], it's the complete opposite, with his realm decreasing gradually."

Hiding in the three realms of the mortal world.

The divine realm, nine lives in the mortal world. Each life is different.

It is rumored that there are only six levels in the True Lord Realm.

The fairyland is said to be even smaller, returning to the simple three small realms.

Chen Xuan thought to himself and said with emotion: "The path of cultivation starts from simplicity to complexity, and then from complexity back to simplicity."

Subsequently.

He used Jiang Qinghuang's communication talisman to inquire about the battle situation in the other two Dinglu battlefields in Luoyue City.

"Have you finished your discussion? At least there wasn't any big trouble." Jiang Qinghuang said, feeling quietly relieved.

"It's as expected." Chen Xuan replied, then asked with growing interest, "Do you want to go help on other battlefields?"

The war is about to end, and there will be no such good opportunity to continue obtaining cultivation resources!
