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

Chapter 241 The Truth Comes Out (Part 2)

Fan Xian's eyes were empty, and his whole body radiated purple light, like a beautiful ceramic artwork whose soul had been extracted, as if he had died in Ao Longjun's hands.

Even the most powerful Divine Wanderer cannot defeat the weakest True Lord.

Even within the cauldron, Fan Xianzhi was not the strongest and had no power to resist; all his secrets were exposed.

“Generation after generation, they are all immortals!” Chen Xuan quietly shifted his gaze, but Ao Longjun’s words still echoed in his ears.

The scene after breaking the destiny of the Heavenly Evolution Path reappeared in my mind... On the giant stele after the destiny, the names and experiences of the Heavenly Evolution Path members throughout the ages were densely packed.

But all the names are those of the immortals!
"So that's how it is. Tianyan Dao, you are truly remarkable..." Chen Xuan remembered making such a remark back then.

Ao Longjun stood amidst the thunder, his eyes filled with mockery, and commented: "It was not self-salvation, but self-destruction. After countless deductions, the young Brahma Immortal ultimately destroyed his own Great Dao... The Heaven-Mending True Monarch did not understand his intention and was afraid of ruining the grand plan you had set for ten thousand generations... Therefore, he had no choice but to let you, True Monarch, stop first, and decide on a higher path after your realm is higher."

He was talking to himself, seemingly having seen through the essence of things, expressing his opinion that when Fan Xian crushed the identity token, the True Lord of Mending Heaven did not appear to come to the rescue.

"Is that so?" Chen Xuan was shocked to hear this. Was this the inside story?
Rumor has it that the True Lord of Mending Heaven intends to use the Heavenly Evolution Dao Elixir to achieve immortality? Is this just a rumor?
After all, the path to immortality is hard to find, and the Heavenly Mandate Elixir of True Monarch level is a ticket to instant immortality.

The Heavenly Mandate Elixir possesses the power to disrupt the laws of nature... For example, there are only a handful of True Monarchs in the world, twenty-four in total, but it is said that consuming the Heavenly Mandate Elixir can break these rules.

Chen Xuan thought to himself, could it be that the True Lord of Mending Heaven could not suppress the Heavenly Evolution Path at the level of the True Lord of Destiny? Therefore, he chose the path of "hoping his disciple will become a dragon"?

at the same time.

Above Chen Xuan's head, the sky above the thick fog was cloudless and crystal clear. Only thunder and divine wind each occupied a portion of the sky.

Two massive figures were looking down at the thick fog below.

"Fox, my power is being stolen and devoured by the remnant of destiny, the Immortal in the Mirror." A majestic voice rang out, and Ao Longjun sensed his power quietly slipping away.

"From the whispers of the wind in the long river of time, I heard that the ancient 'Immortal in the Mirror' once caused a cataclysmic disaster, devouring all the True Lords on a certain immortal path and nearly becoming an immortal itself," the voice of True Lord White Grass echoed.

She was deeply moved by this, finding the old stories terrifying because when a True Lord fell, countless Divine Travelers waiting in line would immediately rush to take his place... But the Mirror Immortal still devoured all the True Lords.

Fortunately, the third generation of Xinzhai emerged and surpassed the previous generation, slaying the Immortal in the Mirror with his sword.

Xinzhai ended the immortal's path to immortality in the mirror and received the results, thus enabling him to quickly become an immortal.

When the most terrifying and troublesome demons and monsters in the world are beyond human control, it is only through the intervention of Xinzhai that they can be subdued.

"Speaking of which, after True Lord Tai Xuan killed all the Earth Virtue beings in the Southern Region, in the last thousand years, it seems... have any new True Lords taken their place in other regions?" Ao Longjun suddenly changed the subject and asked with a puzzled look.

"Mountain Spirit Goddess seized the opportunity and secretly occupied a seat as Earth Virtue True Lord... Moreover, there is still a living Earth Virtue True Lord in the Central Divine Continent."

Bai Cao responded with a smile, then, as if hinting at something, said:

"It's normal that there's no news. There are twenty-four True Monarchs in the Thunder Rank, but only thirteen in the myriad continents of the heavens... Fellow Daoist of the Dragon Rank once spread rumors that he was traveling in the mortal world."

Everyone knows that the Purple Qi of Thunder is the private property of the dragons of the Little Dragon Palace.

"How can we allow others to snore beside our bed? If any petty scoundrel dares to leak information, the Little Dragon Palace will not show any mercy," Ao Longjun said with a cold laugh.

"..."

Bai Cao Zhenjun chuckled upon hearing this, and then speculated: "We have been waiting for half a year, and the Divine Stone Embryo has suddenly matured ahead of schedule... The Holy Son of the Southern Wilderness has entered, thus accelerating the recovery process of Xinzhaitian."

The fog in Xinzhai Heaven was too thick, blocking all senses. Even Qingqiu Zhenjun, who could hear the wind, could only guess at the situation.

"The Divine Stone Embryo and the Remnant Will of Destiny have both been revived. This Heart-Cleansing Heaven has exhausted its remaining immortal power and is revealing its immortal traces for the last time."

Ao Longjun chuckled, then his deep, unfathomable light looked down at the land shrouded in mist, and he said in a serious tone:
"I have located the remnant of destiny. This time, I will not let it escape again."

A wisp of lingering resentment, like a lonely ghost, dares to replace the True Lord?
Is it really true that the Heavenly Mandate of Heaven from ancient times has been resurrected?!
"Long..."

Thunder and divine wind descended, carrying the will of the True Lord Han, breaking through the thick fog and blood-red skylight along the way.

It was as if two invisible giant hands were covering the sky and the sun, brushing away the layers of clouds that shrouded the earth.

……

"Click..."

The body of Tianyan Dao Fanxian emitted a crisp sound of bones cracking, and blood splattered everywhere.

The remnant of destiny, transformed into Ao Longjun, was casually tossed aside, carrying its mission into the Heavenly Evolution Path of Xinzhai Heaven. It then transformed into lightning in the air and vanished completely.

Even the Heavenly Mandate Cauldron, in the hands of a True Lord, is annihilated in the blink of an eye, without any ripples.

"The Holy Maiden...is dead." The rest of the people in the Heaven-Mending Dojo were terrified, but upon seeing this scene, they didn't even dare to feel resentment. They all knelt on the ground, like weeping ostriches.

The Supreme Elder and the Holy Maiden were able to take risks, but once they died, they were truly dead, like a speck of dust blown away by the wind, leaving nothing behind.

The remnant of destiny stared at the spot where Tianyandao had died. A ray of light, similar to the Divine Travel Thread, appeared. Tianyandao deduced a similar Divine Travel technique and used it to escape.

The remnant of destiny pondered whether to exterminate them all. He did not continue to attack, but instead looked into the depths of Xinzhai Heaven, his expression filled with doubt.

"It's a pity that Tianyandao escaped this calamity." Chen Xuan thought regretfully, but dying once would definitely be a huge blow to Tianyandao. Moreover, ruining their mission was also a good result.

Originally, they had hoped that Tianyandao could prove herself and do something unexpected, but they didn't expect her to be so useless and powerless to resist.

Immediately, Chen Xuan stared at the divine stone embryo on the ground, wanting to see if it could disappear into thin air and continue to entangle him under these circumstances.

The divine stone fetus had been chanting in his ear, as if tempting him to fall. The best way to deal with such an evil thing is to avoid contact and stay away from it.

"After long observation, it is still impossible to replace the current Xinzhai, trapped in Xinzhai Heaven... After a brief revival, will it usher in eternal silence?"

The lingering resentment of destiny spoke to itself: its ability to revive meant that after it, there would be no more Immortal in the Mirror; it was the last Immortal in the Mirror.

"The real culprit is coming." It turned around, and in the distance, thunder and divine winds swept in.

The True Lords can travel ten thousand miles in a single breath. The moment they discover the lingering remnants of destiny, their immense will descends upon their destination.

Two towering figures, reaching to the heavens and earth, occupied half the sky. Bai Cao Zhenjun and Ao Longjun, who had descended upon the Southern Wilderness in their complete forms, appeared at this moment, their enormous divine soul bodies tearing through the sky.

It seemed that even the Heaven of Heart Fasting could not contain the figure of the True Lord.

Their gazes pierced through the thick clouds and landed on this spot.

"In the end, it was too rushed, and we were unable to replace him with a complete True Lord." The remnant of Destiny showed regret, with a sense of desolation.

next moment.

A black robe floated in from the other side, and hanging from the empty sleeves was a young Taoist boy with his arms crossed and an arrogant expression. It was Lu Zhuan.

Holding a small black seal, he ordered, "Little Blackie, I hereby appoint you as a henchman for the Southern Region's human race. Quickly, take the [Giant God Weapon] from the Tongtian Daoist Temple and smash them to pieces!"

Simultaneously.

In the sky on the other side, a large, blue sun rose, its bright light illuminating the thick fog on the ground, making it appear translucent.

“Boundless… Heavenly Venerable…” Lingyang Zhenjun of Xiaoqingtian has arrived.

In another region, a slender figure clad in silver armor, wielding a long spear and stepping on a black Kun fish, swayed with divine radiance like a silver fairy lotus between heaven and earth.

"I don't have many of my kind left... Whoever takes the Divine Stone Embryo, let war break out in the mortal world." She spoke, her cold tone filled with murderous intent.

She was unaware of the birth of the Divine Stone Embryo beforehand, so a wisp of her divine soul entered the Heart-Cleansing Heaven through a special method. Now, facing the other True Lords who were going all out to hunt down Tai Xuan, she had no advantage whatsoever. But her meaning was clear: if she couldn't take the Divine Stone Embryo with her, it would be a fight to the death once she got out.

"Young goddess, which pantheon are you from? Even the Mountain Spirit Queen of Yunmengze wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly!" Ao Longjun said coldly, "Just come to the Four Seas Little Dragon Palace. The holy blood of your gods has not faded in the deep sea to this day!"

At this moment, the world changed color as the five True Lords and great beings gathered.

Although some of their states were incomplete, they were still powerful beings, and the very sound of their conversations caused the seemingly boundless Heaven of Heart to tremble, as if it were about to collapse.

“Terrifying…” Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze from Xinzhai. At this moment, there was nothing left to spy on. The True Lord’s voice shook the heavens and earth and was omnipresent.

After giving the Divine Stone Embryo to Tianyandao, he traveled a hundred miles away, but that distance was far from enough.

Chen Xuan felt a little panicked. Although the thick fog in Xinzhaitian could suppress and eliminate most of the divine power, the True Monarch was too strong. Once a great battle broke out, the aftershocks of the battle would make it difficult to guarantee that this was a safe distance for the hundred-mile journey.

After all, the full power unleashed by a top-tier cultivator can potentially affect areas hundreds of miles away.

"Is Little Blackie True Lord any good?" Chen Xuan had great faith in the strength of this Little Underworld Destiny True Lord, but he had not dealt with the other True Lords.

Little Blackie True Lord came to stand up for Tai Xuan, so he should have the confidence and strength to fight two against one!
On the earth, the remnants of destiny surrounded the five True Lords in the center, like a delicious prey that had walked into a trap.

“The people of today are better than the people of the past. The True Lord of today has gone a step further than the True Lord of the past…” Tianming sighed. A few days ago, when he tried every method but could not kill True Lord Baicao, he only managed to severely injure him, and he realized this frustrating problem.

Finding a way out through Xinzai also failed... This plunged the lingering remnant of destiny into despair. Because in the fragments of memories it had recovered, it had fought a great battle with Xinzai and almost successfully replaced him.

Is our current failure due to the incomplete loss of destiny?

"If we cannot surpass the ancients, wouldn't we be ashamed before our forefathers? The difficulty of becoming a True Lord today is ten thousand times greater than in ancient times." True Lord Baicao covered her mouth and chuckled, her charming demeanor enough to make everyone lose their senses.

The path of cultivation becomes more and more perfect each day.

Although in this era, the gods of mountains and seas have vanished, and the Purple Heaven Palace is depleted, making it difficult to become an immortal, there are still many exceptionally talented and extraordinary beings who defy the heavens and attempt to almost reach the path of immortality in an era where it is impossible to become an immortal.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, and considering the passage of time, the ancient should return to the ancient..."

Destiny's lingering regrets were muttered to himself. Immediately, an ancient bronze mirror appeared. He passed through the mirror, revealing the truth behind the falsehood, and transformed into a young man with cascading black hair and a slender figure.

When he fell, he was still a spirited young man, far from being old and frail.

"Long!"

The lingering remnant of destiny soared into the sky like a dazzling firework, actively welcoming the five great beings of the Heavenly Dome. Although it was only a wisp of remnant remnant, with little memory left, its heroic spirit of swallowing the universe and looking up at heaven and earth has never faded for thousands of years.

"If you want to pry open ancient secrets from my memory, then come!" Only such a firm and resolute voice rang out.

The chaotic battle between the True Lords thus erupted.

In an instant, billions of divine lights engulfed the sky and pushed aside the clouds for tens of thousands of miles.

As Chen Xuan fled, he looked up and saw the battle scene in the sky stretch for tens of thousands of miles in an instant, like the beginning of chaos.

Six figures were engaged in a chaotic battle in the sky, but the aftershocks of divine power were neutralized by layers of clouds and mist, and did not reach the earth.

"What is Little Black True Lord doing? It started fighting with Ao Longjun first?" Chen Xuan only dared to look at Black and White True Lord, and found that it was like a puppet on a string, dancing gracefully, performing a set of dazzling and unparalleled divine fists, with divine power that was beyond compare.

As the purple lightning surged forth, it swept away everything in its path, severing a black dragon horn as large as a mountain and sending it crashing into the crumbling Taixu.

At the same time, endless talismanic lightning surged down, engulfing Little Black True Monarch. The black-robed man's body emitted green smoke and turned completely black. Immediately behind him, a round Taiyin Ancient Moon rose, dark and cold. The black osmanthus tree in the moon shook down countless petals and light rain, impacting the lightning.

"Hiss! This unique style of boxing is rarely seen in the world..." Chen Xuan watched intently.

Firstly, he wanted to learn from the True Lord's combat techniques to improve himself; secondly, he wanted to test whether the True Lord could detect Xinzhai's gaze.

If one cannot detect it, then one can "sleep soundly and calmly" face the great and powerful being.

If he is still detected, that's fine. It's a good opportunity to inform the Black and White True Lord of his current location.

Taking advantage of the situation to gain access to the Black and White True Lord's destiny? You're kidding. For someone of that level, you can only do things openly.

The celestial dome was in complete chaos. Little Blackie True Lord and Ao Longjun were locked in a deadly battle, each move deadly. White Grass True Lord's nine fox tails dragged the azure sun, pulling Little Azure Sky's Lingyang True Lord down. The tip of the Heavenly Spirit Spear unleashed ten thousand points of world-shaking divine light, and the power of mountains and seas trembled endlessly, sweeping towards the remnants of destiny...

The next instant, True Lord Baicao fought with the innate deity. The two figures, each with unparalleled beauty, tore into each other apart, their battle causing the heavens and earth to darken.

Lingyang Zhenjun then brought out an alchemy furnace, promising to swallow the remnants of destiny and start a fire to refine pills on the spot.

In an instant, True Monarch Xiao Heizi flew into a rage and completely erupted, smashing the alchemy furnace with a single punch. Refining immortal pills right in front of him? Xiao Qingtian must have a death wish!
"Escape from death!" The remnant of destiny flew out of the alchemy furnace, its face filled with joy. Little Black True Monarch wanted to save its senior, so it approached. With a bang, the black seal smashed over, and nine Ying fish spat out divine water that seemed to destroy the world, sweeping it off the sky. Half of its body was shattered.

The battle intensified, and endless divine light engulfed everything in sight.

"Hiss!" Chen Xuan dared not look any longer, because he discovered that the immortal energy within his body was trembling and about to leave his body.

He activated his Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body, which emitted a hazy immortal light, isolating him from external interference and suppressing the immortal energy within his body.

In the distance, the people from the Heaven-Mending Dojo, who were frantically fleeing towards the entrance of Xinzhai Heaven, collapsed to the ground with cries of agony, transforming into mortals. The Taiyin Qi within their bodies had been directly expelled due to the battle fought by True Monarch Xiao Heizi.

Chen Xuan looked left and right, then abandoned his plan to go deeper into Xinzhaitian and prepared to return to the vicinity of Xinzhaitian's gate to wait for the True Lords' battle to end.

"Little fellow, you've been hard to find!"

Suddenly, a child's shrill voice rang out.

Lu Zhuan appeared out of nowhere beside Chen Xuan, startling him.

what's the situation?
One moment, Lu Zhuan was still a hundred miles away, lending the small black seal to True Monarch Xiao Heizi; the next moment, he appeared directly beside Chen Xuan.

Teleportation technique?

Did True Monarch Xiao Heizi sense Xinzhai's gaze and send Lu Zhuan over?

Upon seeing it, Chen Xuan's face immediately darkened, and his mood plummeted.

"Quick, quick, my precious treasure has brought me here to find you!" Lu Zhuan, with his bottom sticking out and dragging one leg of the Divine Stone Embryo, turned his excited little face and shouted to Chen Xuan, "What are you standing there for? Come and lend a hand!"

"You..." Chen Xuan couldn't say anything. He had finally shaken off the Divine Stone Embryo, but now he was being entangled again.
"Hahaha! In the midst of the battle between the True Lords, no one paid attention to what was happening below. I, in a flash, moved with incredible speed and stole a treasure right under the noses of the True Lords!"

Lu Zhuan laughed loudly, raising his fist and saying, "The remnants of destiny are evil, but this divine stone embryo is filled with divine aura, and was at its purest and cleanest at birth! Such a fine treasure has fallen into our hands!"

Lu Zhuan is a reincarnated True Lord. He was found by the Tongtian Daoist Temple and most likely awakened his "innate wisdom". Now, seeing the innate divine prototype being nurtured in the ordinary stone, he quickly recognized it as an unparalleled treasure.

"I can't bring Xinzhaitian out of here," Chen Xuan said, his expression ashen. The remnant of destiny had tried every method, but ultimately failed!
“Why don’t you carry it out?” Lu Zhuan immediately suggested a very feasible method, and then with a sudden effort, he placed the divine stone embryo on Chen Xuan’s shoulder.

Two stone hands extended from his shoulders, radiating a hazy celestial light, and the divine stone embryo once again clung to Chen Xuan's body.

"you!"

Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched, and his scalp tingled, but the next moment, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Huh? What's this?"

His gaze suddenly froze as he saw that in one of the hands of the divine stone embryo, a simple and ancient bronze mirror was being firmly grasped.

A mirror reflecting the regrets of fate?
Some dazzling light quietly seeped out from between the tightly clenched fingers of the divine stone embryo.

"This..." Chen Xuan opened his mouth, about to ask Lu Zhuan, when suddenly, the hand of the divine stone embryo moved, its fingers quickly lifting Chen Xuan's collar and stuffing the bronze mirror into Chen Xuan's clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the icy hand of the Divine Stone Embryo covered Chen Xuan's mouth, preventing him from making a sound.
