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

Chapter 203 Entering the Heavenly Mandate

A cold wind blew, and Chen Xuan's eyes were like a calm lake, yet contained boundless power, more like a steadfast and unwavering flame. He smiled, his voice steady and powerful.

This gradually calmed the storm of fear that had been raging in Hua Liuli's heart.

"Lady Liuli, this is too risky. It would be best to reconsider," Hua Liuli's subordinate advised with doubt. The existence that could so quietly entice two world lords, who were like heavenly vessels, must be a great figure in the mortal world, and of extremely high level.

Chen Xuan had encountered a similar situation before. When the Five Great Things of Yaoguang Prefecture appeared, the Five Elements Qi were useless. In fact, when True Lord Fulong's gaze swept over, the Purple Qi of Heavenly Thunder automatically evolved and generated within his body.

"I cannot leave Guyao Mountain empty-handed," Hua Liuli said, shaking her head. She was usually easy to talk to and had a lazy style, but when it came to important matters, she could also be decisive and swift.

As Chen Xuan said, those who scheme and plot behind the scenes, and even need to personally intervene to change the situation, are all pitiful brats who lack the strength.

In the cultivation world where extraordinary powers exist, truly powerful individuals who possess overwhelming strength only act with integrity and disdain playing underhanded tricks.

However, Hua Liuli did not accept the last cyan talisman stone. Instead, she looked at Chen Xuan, quickly pondered the matter, and unraveled the mystery. She soon grasped the essence of the matter and asked:

"You can't see my destiny anymore, is that it?"

Hua Liuli is a person who has experienced great storms. Along the way, she has encountered even the greatest dangers. The road of destiny is difficult to walk, but it is nothing more than opening up mountains and cutting through rivers!

Encountering problems.

Let's solve the problem.

One of the most crucial points of this matter is that Chen Xuan suddenly could not see her destiny, which not only caused her to lose her way out, but also hindered Chen Xuan's path to advancement as a cauldron.

"Can you still use the Heavenly Mandate of the Two Realms Lords right now?"

Chen Xuan countered with a question, activating the power of the second level of the Heart Cleansing Technique. Pure golden light flowed from his pupils, as if he had ingested the Jade Ointment. This gaze, superior to all else, could pierce through layers of mist and see the truth of how the world works.

He stared intently at Hua Liuli, his distant gaze, transcending all destiny, seemingly seeing through her plain white dress, through her snow-white and delicate skin, and into all the secrets deep within her heart.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan saw that on Hua Liuli's fair and delicate skin, there were dusty books being turned by the wind, with golden seal script appearing and disappearing. It seemed to be the first half of the "Two Realms True Scripture", or perhaps a fleeting glimpse of the Heavenly Mandate Space of the Two Realms Lord.

Hua Liuli felt a chill run down her spine under Chen Xuan's scrutinizing gaze, as if she were completely naked in front of him, with no privacy whatsoever.

"Able to invoke the mandate of heaven."

Hua Liuli spoke softly, gathering a strand of hair behind her ear with her delicate hand. Her expression was slightly unnatural, and her face was a little flushed.

She can sense the power of destiny normally and is confident in opening the passage between the two blessed lands.

However, since Chen Xuan's destiny works on Wu Taotie, it will naturally work on her as well. But at this moment, Chen Xuan is facing a problem.

"You have cultivated four of the five elements, lacking only the virtue of earth. The [Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body - Upper Yang Secret Essentials] should be nearing completion. In the next few days, you should ask me for the 'True Scripture of the Two Realms'..."

Hua Liuli speculated: "That old monster who was trying to steal my immortal energy got anxious and didn't want you to get my 'Two Realms True Scripture,' so he took action to stop you and tried to cover up my destiny."

This was an extremely important matter for Chen Xuan, and he decided to directly advance to the cauldron using a legendary Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body.

However, if one of the five elements is missing, not only will the cultivation of the [Five Hidden Treasures Martial Immortal Body - Upper Yang Secret Essentials] be abandoned halfway, but even the advancement to the Treasure Body will be incomplete and pose hidden dangers, requiring future effort to slowly complete.

"In fact, once I've decided on what to do today, I'm prepared to take action against you, senior," Chen Xuan said frankly.

There's nothing to hide. Even if he does something wrong, he won't find any high-sounding reasons to justify his actions.

Moreover, this is not a bad thing at all, and Hua Liuli has been reminded many times in recent days.

“This matter should have been done long ago.” Hua Liuli pondered, “Perhaps, I was influenced by that old monster’s power even earlier.”

Now that she has found herself in such a dire situation, she immediately realizes the injustice of what she did in the past.

She should have agreed to Chen Xuan's proposal when they first met at the Yunmeng Market.

Do not!
Even earlier, when the Heavenly Evolution Path descended upon the Southern Wilderness, she should have taken action then, instead of waiting for Chen Xuan to come to her!

Because, from any perspective, starting with Chen Xuan is safer and simpler than pursuing the elusive Qingnang Daoist Temple.

Hua Liuli has been seeking the second half of the true scripture for many years, so there's no reason for her to let Chen Xuan go.

After all, with Hua Liuli's wealth and resources, she could offer countless conditions that Chen Xuan would find impossible to refuse... The simplest example is if Hua Liuli were to ruthlessly give away her billions to Chen Xuan in exchange for priority access to the "Two Realms True Scripture," would Chen Xuan disagree?
Hua Liuli's wealth, which even ancient Daoist temples coveted, was enough to make Chen Xuan work twenty years less!
"Senior, the old monster used some kind of secret technique on you, related to the Earth element and Feng Shui..."

Chen Xuan's gaze was like a golden candle, scrutinizing Hua Liuli's body from head to toe, inside and out. He saw faint traces of the flow of earth-element yellow qi, which was similar to the Qingnang technique that Hua Liuli had used before, but at a higher and more profound level.

This inexplicable force blocked Chen Xuan's view.

He shifted his gaze to other spaces thousands of miles away, making it impossible for him to look directly at Hua Liuli's body and destiny.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan noticed something amiss. The Second Heart Retreat was breaking through this strange feng shui barrier, slowly revealing Hua Liuli's destiny.

"Feng Shui secrets? It's really the Qingnang Daoist sect, which is still alive but not dead, pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

Hua Liuli said with a heavy heart: "But Tai Xuan Zhenjun is indeed dead. I have used some special means to find some ancient Taoist temples to verify this matter."

Hua Liuli was a renowned socialite in Yunmeng Prefecture, and even the Southern Region, with a wide circle of friends. These included not only chosen ones like Wu Taotie and Wan Shizun, but also direct descendants of high-ranking families such as Han Shuangjiang of the Five Elements Sect. She had once managed to learn from a powerful True Monarch of an ancient Daoist temple…

Zhang Tianshi of the Qingnang Daoist Temple, a True Lord-level figure, has indeed vanished from the world!
The Qingnang Daoist Temple disappeared for a thousand years, and the Tai Xuan Zhenjun failed to ascend to immortality and perished, causing a severe impact that resulted in most of the Southern Region being devoid of virtuous land for a thousand years. This is an undeniable fact.

If at this moment, Tai Xuan Zhenjun were to be resurrected.

This is utterly baffling. Even the great sages of the present world misjudged it? This simply doesn't make sense.

This is because several ancient Daoist temples and super powers once joined forces to divide up the Qingnang Daoist Temple, leading to its extinction. If Tai Xuan Zhenjun were still alive, those ancient powers that planned every step carefully would not have dared to do such a thing.

"The elder once said that a thousand years ago, some descendants of the Qingnang Daoist Temple went into the Southern Wilderness to search for the remains of the Tai Xuan Zhenjun who had fallen into the secret realm of Guyao Mountain. This group of people eventually disappeared... What if they didn't die?"

Chen Xuan slowly said, "This is information that Hua Liuli painstakingly found out."

If it wasn't the resurrection of True Monarch Tai Xuan, then it could only be the remnants of the Qingnang Dojo causing trouble behind the scenes. "The writing on the blue talisman comes from the Qingnang Dojo, and it's very likely that it was written by these people," Chen Xuan continued.

In any case, the strange events that Hua Liuli encountered were inextricably linked to the Qingnang Dojo.

"The area where the Golden Pheasant fled may not only contain the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but also the remnants of the Qingnang Dojo."

Hua Liuli nodded upon hearing this and whispered, "Only the fully mastered Qingnang Secret Technique can move mountains and change seas, alter the heavens and the earth, and make the great demons like the Mountain Lord disappear from Guyao Mountain without anyone noticing."

She cultivates the [Mysterious Wind and Spiritual Water Hidden True Chapter - Green Bag Secret Essentials], an ancient immortal technique. She knows the terror of this secret essential after it is mastered. With a flick of her finger, the world shifts and mountains and seas turn. She can manipulate the locations of the four seas and eight wastelands at will.

"Lord Mountain Lord and the Golden Pheasant brought out a blue talisman. Although they issued a warning of 'Don't come in,' they were clearly trying to lure us in," Chen Xuan said, frowning.

When faced with a dead end, who could resist taking a risk?
It wasn't just Hua Liuli who wanted to get in.

Chen Xuan also wanted to go in.

"But the old monster Tao Hongchen of Tude made the senior destroy the blue jade stone by his own hands... It is very likely that two different forces are fighting behind the scenes."

Chen Xuan's tone was grave; the matter was quite clear.

The old monster clearly didn't want Hua Liuli to continue forward. Moreover, he knew Chen Xuan quite well and used what appeared to be a feng shui secret technique from the Qingnang Daoist Temple to prevent Chen Xuan from "rescuing" Hua Liuli with his Xinzhai.

"This old monster doesn't want me to go astray because of you... Of course, this will also prevent you from obtaining the Earth Virtue 'Two Realms True Scripture,' thus hindering your cultivation." A great anger appeared in Hua Liuli's eyes.

"He can't stop it."

Chen Xuan shook his head and said: The golden divine light in his eyes became purer and purer. It was as if the power that had been sealed away since the ancient times was slowly being activated. Its power was so high that Hua Liuli's mind swayed. She had a strange impulse to be conquered and want to kneel down at Chen Xuan's feet.

Even with his normal state of mental purification, Chen Xuan could glimpse the true form of a great being.

Now that the Second Heart Fasting has been opened, that old monster is not qualified to use secret techniques to block Chen Xuan's gaze!
After her initial fear, Hua Liuli was now filled with boundless rage. Her face was as cold as ice as she gritted her teeth and said:

"Alright, Chen Xuan, you can read the True Scripture of the True Body now, I'll show you the whole thing! That old monster dared to scheme against and force me, I can even give up the destiny of two realm masters! It's a fight to the death, no one will get away with it!"

Hua Liuli is a person with a gentle exterior but a strong interior. She is easily swayed by gentleness but not by force, and when her temper flares up, she is capable of doing anything.

After all, she dared to defy even the Heaven-Mending True Monarch's Heaven-Mending Dojo, showing no respect for the Heavenly Evolution Dojo... She did whatever she wanted, even daring to offend the Heaven-Mending True Monarch!
Now that she knows she has been schemed against by an old monster for many years, she is furious. She clenches her delicate fists so tightly that her knuckles turn slightly blue.

Chen Xuan was surprised to hear this.

Hua Liuli glanced at Chen Xuan and said coldly, "Just do it. Today I want to see if the old monster will be furious and dare to show himself when something goes wrong with my elixir!"

She wanted to resolve the matter of the "Two Realms True Scripture" immediately and completely.

"Not only will I show you the true scriptures, but today I will also use the cyan talisman... I will do everything that the old monster opposes!"

Hua Liuli seemed to be speaking to Chen Xuan, but also to the old monster hiding behind the scenes.

As Chen Xuan said, whatever the enemy desires, they will destroy; whatever the enemy pursues, they will annihilate… Every chosen one has such a rebellious nature.

"Wow!"

At this moment, Hua Liuli took out the Five Peaks Pearl, a divine artifact of the mortal realm. Then, she took out a stack of shimmering talismans, which were also talismans of the Tao Hongchen level. Moreover, a white light flew out from her bodice, revealing a snow-white sheet of paper that hovered above her head, emitting a soft and mysterious light that protected her immortal qi, soul, and body... These were actually three supreme treasures of the Tao Hongchen level, ready to be unleashed.

At the same time, she activated the Heavenly Mandate of the Two Realms, and pairs of golden eyes began to flash in the void.

Hua Liuli instantly prepared to fight Tao Hongchen, a powerful figure, in a desperate, all-or-nothing battle. Her decisiveness and domineering presence were overwhelming.

"it is good!"

Chen Xuan nodded, activating the Second Layer of the Heart Fasting Technique to its fullest extent. His golden eyes peered directly into the mysteries of heaven and earth, piercing through layers of mist and traversing the distances of space through the secrets of feng shui. Finally, his gaze fell upon Hua Liuli.

They saw the decrees of the two realms.

Chen Xuan's divine soul seemed to transform into a wisp of mysterious light, sweeping towards the area on Hua Liuli's chest.

"Long..."

The world spun, endless darkness and chaos descended, mountains rose and fell, rivers turned, and countless strange phenomena flashed by in Chen Xuan's vision. This was a secret technique of the Green Bag, which was taking effect, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

It was this extraordinary Qingnang Secret Technique that isolated the aura of the two realm masters' destiny. Even now, when Hua Liuli was using her destiny, the energy fluctuations it caused were also isolated.

"No wonder when Hua Liuli and Wu Taotie fought a great battle, she took the initiative to activate the Heavenly Mandate of the Two Realms, which was not perceived by Xinzhai."

Chen Xuan thought coldly, "So, even earlier, this old monster in Guyao Mountain was already on guard against me."

The Heavenly Mandate of the Two Realms is a kind of Heavenly Mandate that is actively activated, similar to the Heaven of Six Desires and the Supreme God. Once activated, it will inevitably be detected by Xinzhai.

At this moment, the old monster's feng shui secrets could not stop Chen Xuan, because Xinzhai saw the destiny of the two world masters and successfully activated it. His divine soul moved as if floating in the vast world, ignoring the many obstacles along the way.

"Ah……"

At that moment, Chen Xuan heard an old man's sigh, filled with resentment and a hint of helplessness.

Chen Xuan turned his head and saw that two huge cracks were slowly opening on the ground of Guyao Mountain beneath him, like a pair of huge eyes opening.

"Rumble..." The earth trembled, as if it were an earthquake, but it was more like it was coming back to life. Countless dark yellow divine lights slowly flowed out from two gaps that resembled eyes.

"boom!"

The next instant, Chen Xuan's soul disappeared into Guyao Mountain and entered a strange space.

The Lord of Two Realms, in the Mandate of Heaven.

A bronze scroll from the Classic of Mountains and Seas slowly unfolds, revealing an ancient and vast land with undulating, ink-colored mountains and rivers emerging from the scroll.
