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

Chapter 191 Xingtian's Secret Manual
"Who will make a move? There are no gods in Mount Guyao!" The powerful cultivator exclaimed in astonishment. The Martial Glutton had fought against heaven and earth, battled across the eight wastelands, and remained hidden from the mortal world. Who could rival him?
A chaotic battle ensued, with the Martial Glutton displaying its divine power, causing the deaths or severe injuries of a dozen or so powerful cultivators, including many top-tier cultivators!

But an unexpected turn of events occurred, and someone made a move that caused the once dominant Wu Taotie to flee in disarray, his halberd broken and his body sinking into the sand!

"Who is helping me?" Hua Liuli was shocked. Then, she discovered that Chen Xuan's soul body had disappeared silently.

Did he make the move?

It shouldn't be.

Although the divine soul body is powerful enough to directly suppress 99% of the world's powerful furnace beings.

However, Wu Taotie is a top-tier cultivation vessel, currently cultivating the Divine Travel Realm Scripture, and is not far from escaping the mortal world. Although he can't do anything to the Divine Soul Body, if he's determined to escape, there's no way he can't do it!

"Lady Liuli, shall we pursue Wu Taotie?" an old woman hurriedly asked Hua Liuli.

"..." Hua Liuli gazed at the ravaged battlefield, where Wu Taotie's few surviving followers were fleeing in panic. In the distance, beneath the sky, Wu Taotie's shrill screams echoed through the heavens.

"Ah! Get out here!" Wu Taotie roared, his entire body enveloped in black arc light, and suddenly sprang up from the ground, continuing his disheveled escape.

"Chase!" Hua Liuli said decisively. This opportunity to strike a victim when he was down must be seized.

In the Guyao Mountains, the Earth Virtue Restriction Power brought by Tai Xuan Zhenjun has not weakened in the slightest over the past thousand years, catching her off guard. Her strongest combat power was severely damaged, and she could only use three or four tenths of her strength.

If Chen Xuan hadn't intervened, she might have truly been defeated.

She could either be forced to leave Guyao Mountain in a sorry state, or retreat into the Two Realms Heaven and remain in a stalemate until Wu Taotie lost patience and left first, or ruthlessly abandon batch after batch of subordinates, making a painful sacrifice until she got rid of Wu Taotie, or find the ruins of Tai Xuan Zhenjun... There were countless ways to retreat, each with its own hidden dangers, none of which she wanted.

But at this moment, it must be Chen Xuan who makes his move, and a new path opens up, allowing him to defeat Wu Taotie head-on!

"hold head high……"

Outside the entrance to Guyao Mountain, the Chilong God watched the figures on the battlefield gradually disappear from sight. It slowly turned its head, looked into the dark void, and coldly said:
"Crazy Taoist priest, you want to pass through here?"

"Hmm, hmm... a worm, is it easy to borrow?"

In the darkness, a gigantic Taoist head, radiating heavenly light from between its brows, emerged as if breaking through the clouds from beneath a colossal pillar reaching to the heavens. It wore a blue crown, its face as cold as jade, its expression stiff, but its swirling, sun-like eyes narrowed with excited joy.
"We have to lend it, whether we want to or not."

Amidst the enormous Taoist crown and hair bun shrouded in ethereal mist, countless dust-like figures of Taoists leaped down and swarmed up the high platform like ants.

These mad Taoist priests from Little Qingtian, each swaying unsteadily, with bright light emanating from their brows, resembled cold, emotionless puppets, surging towards the entrance of the Guyao Mountain cave like a tide.

"..."

……

……

"Ah! Come out!"

Wu Taotie Qin Yu roared, like a black ball bouncing up and down on the desolate and broken land, rushing around like a headless fly, desperately trying to escape.

"boom!"

Qin Yu slammed his head against a blue boulder, sending stone chips flying as if trying to shatter his skull. But his martial arts body was too resilient; even peerless treasures couldn't damage it in the slightest, and these mundane stones couldn't cause him any harm at all.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu was roaring and howling as he fled from the pursuit of Hua Liuli and her group of pursuers.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan gradually obtained everything he wanted.

Destiny.

Martial Taotie.

"Om..."

The clouds were like cotton, half white like rice grains and half pitch black like ink. The sounds of martial artists practicing their cultivation reached Chen Xuan's ears.

A yin-yang symbol with a diameter of 108,000 zhang slowly rotated in the chaotic void, resembling two black and white yin-yang fish. The pupils of the black fish were embedded with a collapsed white blazing sun, while the eye sockets of the white fish were filled with silvery-mercury black hole vortexes.

"tread!"

Chen Xuan descended upon the Yin-Yang diagram, with black and white Yin-Yang fish beneath his feet chasing and spinning each other, mutually generating and restraining each other. The two kinds of radiance, gentle and profound, and fierce and magnificent, formed a subtle yet powerful balance.

"Entering the Heavenly Mandate for the seventh time, Xinzai has grown stronger once again..."

Chen Xuan vaguely felt that the supreme thing called "Xin Zhai" in his eyes had once again shed one of its shackles.

"Activating the first level of the Heart Cleansing skill continuously consumes almost no power."

His soul and body are in excellent condition. Now, if he wishes, he can stay in the Destiny Space for several years, or even decades.

Furthermore, the divine soul body was strengthened once again, which was an incidental enhancement. However, both the combat power of the divine soul and the ability to interfere with the mortal world have reached a new level.

Chen Xuan quickly detected the changes in his soul body, then looked around at the surrounding scenery. When he looked up, he was slightly startled.

"Wow... a huge guy, a Martial God? A Martial Immortal? Or a Martial Saint?"

A colossal figure of a martial god sat cross-legged on a Tai Chi diagram, cultivating, towering into the sky and seemingly about to shatter the endless void.

The God of War held his head high, like a towering mountain reaching into the clouds. His eyebrows were thick, like two black clouds. His eyes were closed, and his hair, like burning black flames, danced wildly and unrestrainedly. Every strand of hair contained immense power, gleaming like a shooting star.

His upper body was bare, and his muscle lines resembled the contours of a mountain range, as if he were constantly comprehending the ultimate truths of the universe and pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts.

He was surrounded by a solidified aura, both as sublime and holy as a god and as terrifying as a demon. The two auras intertwined, sending chills down one's spine.

"There is also a group of martial arts puppets."

Chen Xuan walked forward, exploring this unfamiliar Destiny Space. At the feet, knees, and arms of the Martial God's body, wisps of white mist hung from martial artist puppets, all engaged in cultivation.

Seize the opportunity to enter the destiny of Wu Taotie, the chosen one who dominates Yunmeng Prefecture.

Now, it's his time to shine.

The strange black soul of the Martial Glutton, the hidden martial arts manual, other treasures... all secrets will be revealed.

"This is... the Martial Arts Manual."

Chen Xuan arrived beneath the enormous figure of the Martial God and saw the first martial artist puppet in cultivation. Its entire body was white, resembling a meridian puppet in a medical clinic, with a faint flow of energy within its meridians.

The martial arts puppet sat cross-legged, with bright light emanating from between its brows, outlining intricate rune patterns, and four golden seal characters written on its chest.

The True Scripture of Martial Arts.

This martial arts puppet is operating its own cultivation scripture, constantly increasing the martial glutton's cultivation level.

"The third chapter is the Cauldron Classic, or the fourth chapter is the Divine Journey Classic."

Chen Xuan glanced at the trajectory of the Qi flow in his meridians, which was incredibly mysterious. He thought to himself that with these puppets helping him cultivate, Wu Taotie was gaining power without lifting a finger every moment!
Then, he frowned and said:
"It is actually the Heavenly Mandate Scripture of the Sun Lineage."

The solar energy cultivated by Qin Yu, the Martial Glutton.

I really didn't realize!
"The Qi of the sun, [illuminating the mortal world, I alone am supreme], is the righteous and bright path."

Chen Xuan was filled with surprise and doubt, because in the previous battle, Wu Taotie was surrounded by black light, as if he had been possessed by a demon, and his fighting style was completely unpredictable when he fought against Hua Liuli, the master of the two realms.

He did not stop, but continued forward, following the black trouser leg of the God of War up to his knees, where he saw the second martial arts puppet.

"【Three Thousand Heavenly Demons' Journey - Xing Tian's Secret Manual】." He suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the second martial arts puppet.

He was practicing a secret technique, leaving behind black afterimages in the air. Sometimes they flashed like black arcs of light, and sometimes they hovered in the air. His figure was like a demon or ghost, and the wind he moved was like the roar of a dragon or the howl of a tiger.

"This is... the movement technique used by the Martial Taotie during combat!"

Chen Xuan's eyes burned with fervor. This was an incomparably powerful movement technique. When Wu Taotie activated this technique, combined with his Martial Divine Body, he was practically a celestial demon god descending to earth, so powerful that it was beyond comprehension.

Its speed was so fast that Chen Xuan could not even detect or lock onto it with his naked eye. He could even use this secret technique to forcefully break through the blockade of the Chilong God.

"【Three Thousand Heavenly Demons' Journey - Xing Tian's Secret Manual】, very good, it belongs to me now."

Chen Xuan spoke softly, then his eyes shone brightly as he watched the martial arts puppet perform its moves, analyzed the flow of Qi in its meridians, and pondered the cultivation method of this secret movement technique.

"brush!"

The martial arts puppet realized that Chen Xuan was secretly learning the technique, so it immediately stopped moving and froze in place.

Chen Xuan's face darkened, and he rebuked:
"You want me to tear you apart, don't you? Go on!"

"Ugh!" A trace of anthropomorphic fear flashed across the illusory face of the martial arts puppet. Unable to resist, it immediately continued to practice the Xing Tian Secret Manual.

Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's more like it. We're all martial artists, so let's learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. Don't be too stingy."

An hour later.

The martial arts puppet fully circulates the secret technique throughout its entire cycle.

Chen Xuan successfully memorized the cultivation method of this ancient secret, carefully pondered it in his heart, and then sighed:

"These rising stars, the chosen ones, are truly blessed by Heaven."

The two realms' master, Hua Liuli, can find the lost [Mysterious Wind Spirit Water Hidden True Chapter · Qingnang Secret Essentials], possessing a divine artifact of the Tao Hongchen level.

Wu Taotie Qin Yu can also obtain the complete "Three Thousand Heavenly Demons' Journey: Xing Tian's Secret Manual".

Furthermore, they had all mastered the ancient secrets to a minor degree.

They have held the reins of destiny for decades, possessing profound knowledge and strength. They grow stronger every day and are all favored by the times.

Chen Xuan practiced Taoism for less than two years.

Even though he relied on the fasting of the mind to soar all the way, obtaining countless treasures and opportunities, he even cultivated his divine soul body ahead of time.

However, the rising chosen ones like the Lords of the Two Realms and the Martial Glutton also possess countless methods that are in no way inferior to the Divine Soul Body and the [Five Hidden Treasures Martial Immortal Body - Shangyang Secret]!
If you feel that way.

It's far too idealistic for Chen Xuan to think he can challenge the world with just a divine soul body!

"If the Heavenly Emperor's Banner Heng Gu, who controls the soul, were to survive, and become a top-tier cauldron decades later, wouldn't he be able to nurture a soul body comparable to Tao Hongchen's?"

It can definitely be developed in advance.

It might even be more advanced than Chen Xuan's divine soul body!

"But the Emperor's Banner of Constant Gu, Daoist Realm cultivator was already dead."

"But the two realm masters and the martial Taotie fought their way out and became famous in the three thousand states of the Southern Region, and dared to go head-to-head with ancient powers like Xiao Qingtian."

Even if the Human Emperor Fan Heng Gu were alive and were to become a top-tier Heavenly Mandate Cauldron in the future, he would not dare to say that he could definitely surpass the two Realm Lords and the Martial Taotie!

How simple and obvious is this truth?
It's not that the spirit and body are weak, but rather that they are too strong!

Chen Xuan, who is strong enough to reach the Daoist realm, can compete with the two realm lords and the Martial Gluttonous Beast, who are the cauldrons of destiny, with just his divine soul body. He is barely qualified to stand on the same level!

"Never underestimate the heroes of the world."

Chen Xuan thought to himself, "Fortunately, there's still Xinzhai."

The mind is above all destiny.

Immediately.

Chen Xuan continued climbing the giant body of the Martial God, and when he reached the waist, he saw the third Martial Arts puppet.

"Eight Treasures Ruyi Fist?"

He saw that in the midst of this chaotic battle, Wu Taotie was imitating an ancient secret technique of the old man riding a crane. He paused for a moment, saw through the essence, and commented: "A false shell, borrowed power."

Wu Taotie did not learn the Eight Treasures Ruyi Fist; the martial arts puppet only superficially imitated its power, not truly obtained the secret technique.

"Wow!"

However, the martial arts puppet seems to be seeking reality through illusion, trying to comprehend the cultivation method of the Eight Treasures Ruyi Fist through repeated practice.

This will be a long process.

Chen Xuan felt a little regretful, but he had gained a lot of insight into the true meaning of martial arts from it. This was an ancient martial art from the Qi cultivation world, and its level was far higher than the boxing and martial arts techniques in the secular world.

He quickly left, like a tiny ant walking on the body of the Martial God, encountering martial arts puppets along the way.

"The Qilin Halberd? It's all an illusion."

"The Qingxu Celestial Technique is fake."

"The Great Stone-Smashing Handprint, this secret technique is complete, and I, Chen, have obtained it..."

"..."

Chen Xuan walked leisurely on the giant body of the Martial God, and finally climbed onto the Martial God's shoulder. He glanced at the huge head above and saw that there were no more puppets.

Immediately, he moved down the mountain-like shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists... all the way down.

The God of War sits cross-legged on the Yin-Yang diagram, his hands crossed horizontally in front of his chest, left hand below, palm facing up like the earth, right hand above, palm facing down like the sky.

Within the world of the Martial God's Palm, Chen Xuan discovered a black figure resembling Qin Yu.

Found the rightful owner.

really.

Qin Yu's spirit is hidden within destiny.

"Wu Taotie, what exactly is wrong with your soul?"

His spirit and body, like a swaying immortal, radiated a soft white light as he walked towards the black figure.

The two realm lords are unwilling to read the second half of the true scripture.

The Heavenly Evolution Path, having been deduced hundreds and thousands of times, still dares not look at.

Chen Xuan was very curious: "What consequences did the Martial Gluttony's advance viewing cause?"
