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

Chapter 217 Yan Yushu

In the underworld, there lives a powerful chosen one.

After Chen Xuan killed Huang Liangmeng, he realized this, but he knew that the Chosen One was not the cute, dark-skinned Xuan Cat Lady, but a being of a higher level.

Because the chosen ones that Xinzhai can always lock onto are all black dots of light, while the Xuan Cat is a wandering white dot of light.

Moreover, it's not only the Mysterious Cat that can summon the Lesser Underworld. When Tianyan Dao came to the Southern Wilderness, another Lesser Underworld messenger summoned the Lesser Underworld.

Now, the two underworld messengers, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, are also in the small underworld where destiny reflects the present world.

"This chosen one in the Lesser Underworld is unfathomable. He is the strongest among the chosen ones of this era, and he is also a figure who ranks among the top in the entire history of the chosen ones," Nan Mian said in a deep voice.

"I expected this." Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

In fact, for a long time, Chen Xuan suspected that she was the strongest person in the Qi Refining World he knew, even the Mountain Ghost Goddess might not be able to compare.

Because he often secretly watched the kitten talking to itself, he knew that the Black Cat had been guarding the Southern Wilderness and Chu region for probably over a thousand years.

This means that this underworld being, who is backed by the legacy of ancient sages, has lived for at least a thousand years.

A chosen one who has lived for a thousand years...

Chen Xuan knew Hua Liuli. She had been in the Cauldron Realm for over ten years and was already a formidable opponent. Wu Taotie Qin Yu had been in the Cauldron Realm for a little over twenty years and was already attempting to break through to the Divine Realm.

Unless they are immortal beings, there are probably few beings in the world more terrifying than the chosen ones of the Lesser Underworld.

"Moo! That damned immortal is too talkative! He only does things that harm others and himself. On the day he dies, I, the old ox, will personally drag him away!" The ox-headed underworld official's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

Black mist surged within the small underworld, enraging the three underworld deities.

"The kitten hates him so much!" Xuanmao roared, baring her two small, sharp teeth and staring with her eyes wide open. Her ambiguous affair had been exposed by Nanmian!

The existence of a chosen one hidden in the underworld is a great secret, unknown to most ancient temples and powerful beings.

Because the Lesser Underworld is the sacred site of Houtu, the Holy Mother of the Supreme Heaven, it is beyond the reach of the mortal world. Even the Qingqiu Fox, who listens to the wind, dares not eavesdrop on the secrets of the Lesser Underworld.

But now, Xiao Qingtian's current Daoist disciple has so casually revealed such an important secret to Chen Xuan.

You should know that by consuming the True Lord's Elixir, one can become an immortal.

Once the news that the Black and White True Lords are the Chosen Ones spreads, most of the True Lords and powerful figures in the Qi Cultivation World, as well as the old immortals slumbering in the Great Void, will all be eyeing the Lesser Underworld.

Nan Mian, looking radiant and with bright, piercing eyes, continued speaking to Chen Xuan:

"Why don't I see you, the Black and White True Lord of the Lesser Underworld? I have some speculations, but just take it with a grain of salt."

Nan Mian spoke more and more, stating with absolute certainty:

"Because those destined to die under the fasting of the heart will not live to see the next life."

"This is the most terrifying part of Xinzhai!"

"With the destruction of the Martial Gluttonous Destiny, your Heart Fasting is at least at the third level? It is said that the first generation of Heart Fasting broke the Classic of Mountains and Seas, destroyed the foundation of the ancient mountain gods, and opened the sixth level of heaven."

"The Martial Taotie has no next life!"

Even if the Black and White True Lords become immortals, they would not dare to see you, because you can completely destroy destiny!

Nam Myeon paused for a moment, then said earnestly:
"Moreover, historical records state that all those who saw Xinzhai's destiny died on the spot without exception."

“Chen Xuan, these demons and evil spirits should be terrified of you. Only that fool Ahua is desperately trying to get close to you… If the powerful Tai Xuan Zhenjun, who controls most of the Southern Region, were alive, he would probably stop the two realm lords from getting close to you.”

As Nan Mian spoke of this, he sighed inwardly, "The higher the level of a chosen one, the more afraid they are of approaching Xin Zhai, just like a mouse seeing a cat."

This has nothing to do with the level of understanding or morality, but rather it represents a higher level of inequality.

"The legacy of the Martial Glutton has been severed." Chen Xuan recalled the obelisk that appeared in the mist after breaking through the Heavenly Fate Space, and seemed to be deep in thought.

On the stone tablet.

There are two names in total; the second one is Qin Yu.

But after Qin Yu, no other name for the Gluttonous Warrior has appeared?

That's a pity.

"This..." Hua Liuli glanced at Chen Xuan, then looked down at her chest covering her toes, thinking to herself, "Did I try to get closer?"
Hua Liuli was immediately enraged and sneered, "Bah! Nanmian looks all dignified, but nothing good comes out of his dog's mouth!"

In the small underworld, the fury in the eyes of Xuanmao and Niutou and Mamian was about to burst out. Nanmian's words were becoming increasingly incoherent, and he was saying all sorts of covetous things.

"You mere Xiaoqingtian Daoist dare to insult Lord Hei Bai Zhenjun! Even your Daoist master wouldn't dare to be so rude!"

"The kitten is going to bite him to death!"

"Hmph! That cunning little Taoist priest is deliberately trying to provoke us and cause chaos. Don't fall for it." The horse-faced underworld official said in a deep voice, "Even the little underworld knows Little Qingtian's secret. We'll tell Xinzhai about it too!"

Ox-Head and Horse-Face knew some of the stories of Xin Zhai and understood that the Little Underworld could not be hidden from Chen Xuan at all and would definitely be seen.

"Some of the Heavenly Fate Elixir refined by Little Azure Heaven can seize a portion of the abilities of those destined for heaven and use them for their own purposes. This information is seven-tenths true!" The Ox-Headed Underworld Messenger immediately revealed a secret from the Lesser Underworld.

"The mad Taoist priests of Little Qingtian are all dead; only two or three of them are alive in each generation! The information is absolutely true." Upon seeing this, Xuanmao quickly revealed the few secrets he had.

"..."

Chen Xuan was having a bit of a headache. On one side, Nan Mian was speaking his mind without reservation, while on the other side, a group of demons and gods from the underworld were making a ruckus and creating chaos.

As he listened to the information that Nanmian and Xiaoyinjian had revealed, he also scanned his surroundings. All the mad Taoist priests in Xiaoqingtian had truly gone mad, floating in the air with dazed and silly expressions, drool dripping from their mouths, and pairs of empty eyes staring at Chen Xuan. The scene was bizarre.

"Should you consider Nanmian?" Chen Xuan turned to Hua Liuli beside him and asked.

“This…” Hua Liuli pondered for a moment and said, “He’s wise enough to kneel down and beg for mercy today, so let’s spare his life for now.”

Nan Mian voluntarily gave up alchemy, and because he was satisfied with Chen Xuan's killing of Wu Taotie, he generously shared a lot of information about Xinzhai.

Moreover, every mad Taoist present witnessed this event, and when the news reached Xiao Qingtian, Nanmian's situation would become very delicate.

The living Nanmian is more destructive to Xiao Qingtian than the dead Nanmian.

Of course, the main reason is that Nanmian is too strong. He is confident that he can contend with and refine the Martial Taotie after ascending to godhood and being reborn. You can imagine how strong he is.

Yu Zhe Xian ranks first in the Southern Region's "Immortal Register," even above Wan Shi Zun.

Chen Xuan and Hua Liuli are not afraid of Nan Mian, but if they really fight, it is uncertain who will win, as each has a strong advantage in some aspect.

"it is good."

Chen Xuan nodded, and soon, Chen Xuan and Hua Liuli used the Qingnang Technique again to return to the main peak of Guyao Mountain.

"Ah Hua, and... Ah Xuan, I look forward to seeing you next time."

Nan Mian, his expression gentle, watched Chen Xuanhua and Liuli's departing figures, waved goodbye, then slid his finger towards the location of the Lesser Underworld, and shook his head, saying:
"One of the most important reasons why people firmly believe that Tai Xuan perished is because your Little Underworld once held a funeral for True Lord Tai Xuan... It's not good for you to mislead everyone like this." "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!" the Ox-Headed Underworld Messenger mocked.

"..." Nan Mian couldn't hear the voices echoing in the Little Underworld. He was thinking, "Both world lords have gone astray. Why isn't that Daoist Master Xiao Qingtian going to Guyao Mountain? Has he gone senile from chanting scriptures?"

Moreover, several underworld deities from the Lesser Underworld jointly passed through the area to offer condolences at Guyao Mountain.

But how many immortal beings are destined for heaven in Guyao Mountain?

Wu Taotie, the Lord of Two Realms, Nanmian, and Chen Xuan, who is mistaken by many as the Chosen One... there are only these four!

Of course, if we had to add one more, Tai Xuan Zhen Jun would be the fifth.

Therefore, regardless of which one dies, the important figures in the outside world who are paying attention to this place should have noticed the change!
"Immortal Yu, you're finished for disregarding the bigger picture." After Chen Xuan and Hua Liuli left, the mad Taoists in the sky from all directions turned their sinister gazes to Nan Mian, their eyes as cold and terrifying as daggers.

"Are you all going to inform on me? That would be very bad."

Nan Mian's expression turned serious. Then, he patted the sleeve of his wide robe, tilted his head, and smiled:

"Xin Zhai has emerged, sweeping across all directions with unparalleled ferocity. All of you who were protecting Wu Taotie were tragically killed by Chen Xuan... How about this reason? If Master doesn't believe it, I have no better way."

Chen Xuan called him by his name directly in the Guyao Mountains, which Nan Mian was able to tolerate.

But if anyone else thinks they can do the same, they are sorely mistaken; the grass on their graves next year will be taller than a person.

“You…” The group of mad Taoist priests were stunned upon hearing this.

"The Martial Taotie has fallen, Xiao Qingtian has perished, Daozi Yu Zhexian has fled alone on horseback, defeated at Guyao Mountain, Xinzhai Chen Xuan... Impressive indeed." Nan Mian praised to himself, and as he spoke, he made his move.

"boom!"

A terrifying and unparalleled battle suddenly erupted. Nine bright and radiant suns rose from behind the southern crown, and at the same time, a roar of a strange beast shook the mountains and rivers. That was the [Giant God Weapon], forged from the unique corpse of a mythical beast from the mountains and seas.

"Roar!"

Blood stained the earth, and the broken corpses of the mad Taoist priests fell like rain, their eyes wide open in death, piling up like mountains.

“The Little Blue Sky are all a bunch of lunatics, especially Nanmian.” Xuanmao and Niutoumamian were astonished at the sight.

Nanmian was meek and subservient to Chen Xuan, yet he launched a fierce attack on his own side? He even used the [Giant God Weapon], a powerful weapon originally intended to deal with Wu Taotie?
"Nan Mian is... quite interesting."

Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze from the source of the Feng Shui Avenue, where Nan Mian was slaughtering Xiao Qingtian's men without even blinking.

"Uh, that's interesting? Chen Xuan, don't say things like that." Hua Liuli blinked her bright eyes and said half-jokingly, "Usually, only demonic characters talk like you."

Hua Liuli felt a chill creep into her chest. After hearing some of Xinzhai's stories, she increasingly felt that Chen Xuan was not a good guy.

"Humorous," Chen Xuan commented. Soon, they passed through the feng shui formation.

Soon after.

Chen Xuan arrived at the foot of Guyao Mountain and climbed the steps. Hua Liuli took a deep breath, lifted her gauze skirt with her delicate hand, and followed closely behind.

Everything concerning the two realms' lords will soon come to light.

"The men and women from the Qingnang Dojo have gone up the mountain!" On the distant mountaintop, a group of Qingqiu foxes gritted their teeth and said.

Chen Xuan killed Wu Taotie from Nan Mian, but when he returned to Shanggu Yao Mountain, he treated the group of Qingqiu foxes as nothing, as if they were air.

Some of the foxes among them had clearly offended Chen Xuan!

"Chen Xuan is a 'Heart-Fortune' who only kills and never saves, so why has no one ever mentioned him? Is Nan Mian just making wild guesses?" Zhao Shenhu pondered, still feeling that something was very wrong.

If Chen Xuan were the legendary Xin Zhai, the two realm masters should have died long ago.

Meanwhile, news from Guyao Mountain was spreading and gradually reached the ears of some people outside the secret realm, who all realized that something was wrong.

"Xiao Yin has entered Guyao Mountain, but Wu Taotie cannot ascend to godhood so quickly; it will still take several months!"

"Could it be that Chen Xuan has committed a crime? He just advanced to the Cauldron Realm, causing the clouds to tremble, and then he arrived at the Lesser Underworld."

The dragon god and the Taoist priest Xiao Qingtian, who was in the darkness in the distance, were both astonished.

The wandering Taoist sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to summon the sleeping True Lord from Little Azure Heaven.

Under the distant sky.

On a misty, ancient mountain, a girl in a black dress ascended to the summit, took out a high-level communication talisman, and waved it twice in the mountain breeze.

"It's been almost two years. That bastard should be ready to be used as a furnace by now. Why hasn't he come looking for me yet? Not even a single message."

The girl frowned, a little displeased, and muttered, "Could it be that some slut bewitched me on the way?"

Thinking this, she moved her legs under the black dress a couple of times.

No.

I recently ate a hot pot, and I'm still feeling irritated; I'm about to lose control.

A strange sense of loss arose in the girl in the black dress, and her beautiful face turned cold as she flew towards a grand hall.

"Lu Zhuan, Lu Zhuan! Your disciple wants to go down the mountain!"

"Calm down!" The young Taoist Lu Zhuan, who was studying the scriptures, turned around and scolded him.

"Master, you wouldn't want the goddess of your temple to become a notorious demoness, would you?" The girl bent down, her scarlet fingernails poking the Taoist boy's forehead as she asked angrily.

"You, Yan Yushu, one day you'll die on that wild man!"

The young Taoist, Lu Zhuan, ran away with his head in his hands, cursing in exasperation. After a moment, he helplessly spread his hands and said, "I did a divination. It says that a great True Lord is about to fall in Guang Prefecture. It's not good to get involved."

"Hmm?" The girl in the black dress was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing this, her eyes turned somewhat unfriendly.

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​Lu Zhuan scratched his head and sighed, "I need to think of a way. Alas, one day, I'll be dragged down to death by you."

What on earth is going on? They've recruited this weird and strange dojo goddess, it's giving me a headache!
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and the beautiful and charming Hua Liuli entered the Goddess Shrine on the mountaintop, finally getting up close to the Mountain Lord Tiger, whom they hadn't seen for over a year.

"Crack!"

A small, earthen dog, carrying a white fox in its mouth, sat beside an ancient well, wagging its lively little tail like a waving flag.

Behind the mountain god, some sitting and some lying down, were twenty or thirty large, pitiful-looking cauldron-like monsters. Some of them even had the words "Don't come in" carved on their bodies, which were impossible to hide and looked quite comical.

"Lord Mountain Lord." Chen Xuan was overjoyed to see the Mountain Lord, and then asked solemnly, "Next, I am to retrieve a page from the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas - Guyao,' is that right?"

Chen Xuan felt a surge of curiosity and interest in handling this legendary treasure.
