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

Chapter 248 The Twelve Golden Elixir Immortals, Mountain Lord Finally Ascends to Godhood

As dawn broke and the morning mist swirled around Tiger Mountain, Chen Xuan received the Qingqiu Fox, who had traveled from afar, beneath a towering tree.

Chen Xuan's face was slightly pale, as if he had caught a cold. His eyes were deep as he looked at the famous Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, Bai Jintong.

"Young Master Holy Son, Liu Yutian is an evil woman to the core. You must never get involved with her, or your life will be ruined." Upon meeting her, the Heavenly Fox Maiden Bai Jintong immediately used a "shocking secret" to pave the way and express her sincerity.

Bai Jintong's face was breathtakingly beautiful, a true beauty of unparalleled grace. Her fair skin was as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade. Her captivating eyes were lively and mischievous, as if they held all the secrets of the world.

Her nine fluffy fox tails danced like nine snow-white ribbons... Demons revere bloodlines, and both the White Fox Goddess and the Zhao Divine Fox only had eight tails.

If converted into terms of innate talent and aptitude, Bai Jintong's talent is comparable to that of a human immortal.

Chen Xuan learned from the White Fox God that there were many outstanding talents in Qingqiu this generation. Apart from Zhao Shenhu, the most outstanding was the nine-tailed Bai Jintong, who was also listed in the list of immortals and ranked very high.

Behind Bai Jintong was a six-tailed, silver-haired old woman with a hunched back, leaning on a dark green cane.

Chen Xuan sensed some strange spiritual fluctuations from the silver-haired old woman. This was an old fox spirit at the Divine Travel level "borrowing a shell" to travel far away.

The silver-haired old fox's eyes were slightly piercing as he brazenly sized up Chen Xuan's appearance.

This is not an “excessive” action.

In fact, for a behemoth like Qingqiu to condescend to come to the Southern Wilderness is already giving face to the Mountain Ghost Goddess... They are fully capable of taking more drastic measures.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Chen Xuan glanced at the Heavenly Fox Woman, then said coldly, "Furthermore, fellow Daoist seems to be older, so please be more careful with your words!"

Bai Jintong spoke frivolously and spoke ill of the Six Desires Heaven, which Chen Xuan disliked.

"You..." Bai Jintong was taken aback. What did he mean? Did he think she was too old and that he was being called old?

She was very angry because she was actually a few years older than Chen Xuan.

However, Bai Jintong was born into a prestigious demon clan and her cultivation progressed smoothly. In just over twenty years, she reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage and was just waiting to ascend to godhood. This basically represents the fastest cultivation speed in the Qi Refining world... It takes this long time to achieve what she has!
Aside from those freaks who take the unorthodox path and are destined for greatness, who can compare to her!
The Heavenly Fox was about to speak when the Silver-Haired Old Fox stepped forward with an unhappy expression and reprimanded her.

"Please be careful what you say, and be more respectful in your speech!"

The silver-haired old fox said in a deep voice, his eyes spreading out in circles of divine power as a certain divine being from Qingqiu took over his body: "You need to recognize your own identity and not be arrogant or disrespectful to the nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu!"

Although Qingqiu came to "redeem" the White Fox God, it did not mean that they had to "kneel" to buy her. The initiative was always on Qingqiu's side.

In any case, Qingqiu possesses overwhelming strength and the right to look down upon the Southern Wilderness.

If it weren't for the White Fox and her fox relatives entering Guyao Mountain to steal things, and being caught red-handed, Qingqiu wouldn't have needed to do such shameful things!

Chen Xuan turned his face to look at the silver-haired old fox: "Old woman, you..."

"Stop! Granny Zhao, we in the Southern Wilderness have always acted in a straightforward manner. The Holy Son has no intention of offending me."

Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Jintong immediately tried to persuade the silver-haired white fox, and then apologized to Chen Xuan, saying, "Granny Zhao is worried about the safety of True Lord's young son, Zhao Shenhu, so it's understandable that she is anxious. Please calm down, Holy Son, and don't take it to heart. I apologize to you."

She didn't want any unexpected troubles; she just wanted to rescue the White Fox Goddess from the Southern Wilderness as soon as possible. Even if she suffered some injustices, she could tolerate it.

Poor Aunt White Fox, she has suffered countless torments during this time in the hands of vigorous humans!
"Hmph!" The silver-haired old fox slammed his cane down, somewhat resenting the Bai family's Heavenly Fox Maiden for being weak and disgracing Qingqiu. But in the end, the silver-haired old fox didn't say anything more, just watched coldly.

"I heard there's a way to travel in spirits, to move the land of ascension to godhood?" Chen Xuan looked at Bai Jintong and asked casually.

Legend has it that some powerful beings can travel in spirit, moving mountains and seas, passing through the Great Ruins, and descending to other places to wage war.

"The price is high. At best, it will damage the foundation of the Ascension Ground; at worst, it will destroy one's future on the Great Dao and prevent one from making any further progress in life."

The Heavenly Fox Woman told Chen Xuan that for gods like the Golden Crow God who rely on the mortal world, moving the Ascension Ground often requires paying an unbearable price and causing a great disturbance. However, gods who rely on the Great Void are much easier to move.

Most of the great battles fought by deities in the world originated from the [Great Void God].

As the Heavenly Fox Woman spoke, she glanced at the silver-haired white fox, and then pointedly said to Chen Xuan, "My Aunt Youyou is a mountain goddess in Qingqiu Mountain, while Granny Zhao is the Goddess of the Void."

"I see." Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

“Brother Chen, you have the ‘Classic of Mountains and Seas: Guyao’. After Guyao ascends to godhood, she can go wherever she wants. Such an advantage is the envy of the world,” Bai Jintong said with a hint of envy.

This is not flattery, because when Bai Cao Zhenjun was in charge of the "Qingqiu" section of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," he would travel the world at will, causing unrest.

"They might not choose Guyao Mountain as their ascension site," Chen Xuan thought to himself.

"Brother Chen, let's talk about the Six Desires Heaven!" Bai Jintong continued.

When she arrived in the Southern Wilderness, she overheard rumors about the Tongtian Daoist Temple and immediately deduced that Lu Zhuan, Yan Yushu, and Chen Xuan had a secret.

Chen Xuan was actually quite curious and wanted to hear what bad things the Heavenly Fox Woman had to say.

"The Six Desires bewitch people not with their looks, but with their emotions. Physical appearances are readily available everywhere. Well, the Six Desires are indeed beautiful, no less so than this fox."

As Bai Jintong spoke, she proudly puffed out her chest, as if it were something to boast about, comparable to the Six Desires Heaven. She continued to comment, "But what's rare is that she has a clever mind, always looking out for you and helping you solve your problems... She never speaks of the things she does for you behind your back, but you always manage to hear about them through other means."

"Such a peerless beauty, treated with such sincerity, even immortals who meet her in their youth cannot bear to abandon her, and cannot overcome the barrier of love."

"Without a sound, you will fall into her grasp and never be able to escape."

Chen Xuan carefully considered Bai Jintong's words.

The black light spot from the Six Desires Heaven that had "used" Chen Xuan once left the Southern Wilderness without a trace after discovering that Chen Xuan was safe.

Chen Xuan disliked unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Yan Yushu never bothered him; he would come when there was something to do and leave when there was nothing to do.

To be honest, what Bai Jintong said made a lot of sense.

“You are Xinzhai, whose killing power has been immense since ancient times… As long as the Six Desires Heaven has seen you, they will never let you go. One day, you will be willing to die for her,” Bai Jintong said with certainty.

The terror of the Six Desire Realms is beyond imagination. In some little-known secrets, there was once a Six Desire Realm being imprisoned by [Little Spirit Mountain].

However, later, several Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the True Lord level had "mortal thoughts," and this top-level Taoist lineage of the human race, which was once on par with the Lesser Underworld, the Lesser Azure Heaven, and the Lesser Plague Palace, thus came to a sad end.

Chen Xuan remained silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Do you have a grudge against the Six Desires Heaven? Why did you launch into such a long-winded attack on her?"

"Has Brother Chen been successfully bewitched by the Six Desires Heaven?"

Bai Jintong smiled slightly and asked in return.

She would never admit that she had been overshadowed by Liu Yutian when she passed through Yunmeng Prefecture... However, she was indeed a beautiful human girl. Bai Jintong had to admit that she now admired Liu Yutian's beauty and charm. If she could become her Daoist friend, it would surely be a good thing.

"Alright, let's get down to business," Chen Xuan said, asking Bai Jintong how she planned to "redeem" the white fox spirit and the other foxes.

"I will answer three questions for you and clear up your doubts."

Bai Jintong offered his terms, and Qingqiu, with its keen intuition, knew more secrets than most other forces in the world.

"Why don't I just ask the White Fox God directly?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

“She has eight tails, I have nine. Although I am young, my status is more noble.” Bai Jintong raised her head and puffed out her chest, glancing slyly at Chen Xuan. At the same time, her nine dandelion-like tails swayed, seemingly stirring one’s heartstrings.

She suddenly wanted to try seducing Chen Xuan to prove that her charm was no less than that of Liu Yutian, but Chen Xuan remained unmoved.

"Stop shaking, any secret is fine?" Chen Xuan asked, indeed having many doubts in his mind.

"The secrets of the immortals, the heritage of Qingqiu, the mysteries of the mountains and seas, the origins of Xinzhai... I will tell you everything Jintong knows."

Bai Jintong calmly said, "In fact, there are no secrets in the world. So-called conspiracies and schemes are just the boring tests of the weak... Sometimes, a casual action by a high-level cultivator can make lower-level cultivators extremely fearful, thinking that it is some kind of earth-shattering plan. As a result, they speculate and make many ridiculous actions."

People say that the Fox Spirit of Qingqiu is skilled in intrigue and trickery.

But this is a misconception; a powerful and confident fox would disdain to resort to cunning schemes.

In the world of cultivation, almost all high-ranking cultivators play their cards openly.

Some cultivators who lacked the strength to reach higher-level cultivators felt as if they had been "tricked".

For example, when Tai Xuan sought immortality a thousand years ago, everyone knew that Qingqiu would not sit idly by and wait for its demise, and Xiaolong Palace would not stand idly by; they would definitely take action to stop it.

If you seek immortality, there will inevitably be a life-or-death battle.

If you don't seek anything, you'll live in peace.

"Okay, I agree."

Chen Xuan nodded and said that the White Fox Goddess was a hot potato, and she was currently half-dead. He was eager to make a move, but Chen Xuan was not generous enough to give her a spiritual crystal to prolong her life.

"What exactly is Qingqiu's opinion of Taixuan? Does he really believe that he failed to become an immortal?" he asked the first question.

Chen Xuan still had doubts about this matter. Ao Longjun and Bai Cao Zhenjun had yielded too easily. If it were him, he would have eliminated the threat completely and would not have left a fatal hidden danger because of a few words from a human race Zhenjun.

Bai Cao Zhenjun said he would give Tai Xuan Zhenjun ten or twenty years to wait for him to grow old? This behavior is so lenient it's foolish!

"Although the ancestor did not speak explicitly about this matter, Jin Tong heard some rumors and made some definite deductions."

Bai Jintong was a woman of her word. Even though it was a major event in Qingqiu, she would not hide anything. She whispered:
"The immortals have merely disappeared into the shadows, but they are not dead."

"One lineage, one immortal; twelve Golden Core Immortals. There are only so many positions; there will be no more than one."

"The moment our ancestor entered Guyao Mountain, he quickly understood everything."

"If the Great True Lord Tai Xuan is not an immortal at this moment, then even if he were given another 100,000 years, he would never become an immortal!"

"Because, there were already immortals above the Earth element."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are you so sure?"

"There will be no surprises."

Bai Jintong nodded firmly, pointed to the rising sun on the horizon, and said with a melancholy tone:

"The Celestial Palace stands eternally in the heavens, but no one knows which of the Twelve Golden Core Immortals are still alive today."

“But above the head of the Earth Virtue Yellow Qi, there must be an immortal who reigns supreme over all the heavens and has never decayed.”

"Tai Xuan's desire to become an immortal in this lifetime is now impossible!"

"That's the only reason my ancestors were willing to be forgiving."

Bai Jintong told Chen Xuan that the moment Bai Cao Zhenjun entered Guyao Mountain and saw Tai Xuan Zhenjun, he realized the problem and was therefore not worried about any hidden dangers.

Chen Xuan was startled and couldn't help but look towards the horizon. Thousands of bronze chains firmly locked the sun, and giant hands in the clouds pulled at the chains, obscuring the true scene behind the clouds.

The clouds were like the mist of immortals, even blocking Xinzhai's view.

"Immortals live as long as the heavens. Once the golden elixir is formed, they transcend the cycle of birth and death... They will unite with the Dao, evolve the heavens and earth, and be immortal for all eternity, with endless and unfading lifespans," Bai Jintong said.

"They are suspended in the sky, and no one knows what they are doing or what unobservable state they are in."

"They will never die unless something unexpected happens."

Bai Jintong sighed: "Therefore, every tens of thousands of years, a truly brilliant and extraordinary True Monarch will try to see if the position at the top of his head is vacant."

“A thousand years ago, Tai Xuan did the same thing as his predecessors.”

"He failed."

"Therefore, whether it is the Tai Xuan Old True Lord who proved the Qing Nang Feng Shui, or the ancient Ji Dynasty in the Central Divine Land who cultivated the Qilin True Scripture and proved the human way and society... all will come to nothing."

"In short, the orthodox path to immortality of the Earth Virtue lineage will not be sought by any True Lord for the next tens of thousands of years."

Bai Jintong told Chen Xuan that this was the current state of the Immortal-Ghost Era, and that the world could only accommodate a maximum of twelve Golden Core Immortals. Chen Xuan was shocked; this secret was extremely terrifying—immortals were immortal?

But why did the ancient immortals, such as Shangyang Immortal, die?
The Immortal Shangyang was clearly at the end of his lifespan, and ultimately disappeared from the world!
"Brother Chen, would you like to know what unexpected events might cause the immortals to die?"

Bai Jintong smiled, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Chen Xuan with a seductive look: "That's the second question."

"never mind."

Chen Xuan shook his head and refused. Although Bai Jintong had piqued his curiosity, he could ask Lu Zhuan, Hei Bai Zhenjun, and others when the opportunity arose. Next, he needed to obtain a substantial exchange.

"I want the Qingqiu inheritance. Please tell me the cultivation method," Chen Xuan said.

"Huh? You didn't fall for it, what a pity." Bai Jintong's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She wanted to get something for nothing, to exchange some precious but actually worthless secrets for the prisoner, but Chen Xuan was very clear-headed.

"The second half of 'Nine-Tailed True Lord' is not to be passed on to outsiders. I will exchange it with you for the Immortal Ascension Technique of the Bai family of Qingqiu."

Bai Jintong continued, "But the Immortal Techniques are wondrous. Although I have mastered them, I cannot explain them... When I return to Qingqiu, I will bring out the ancient artifact that records the Immortal Techniques and let you observe it for a day. How much you can remember depends entirely on your ability."

Things belonging to immortals are not revealed to the world.

Although Hua Liuli, the master of both realms, had mastered the Qingnang Secret Manual, she still frequently forgot the text of the manual, and the Heavenly Fox Maiden Bai Jintong was the same.

"What can I remember from just one day? I'll forget it as soon as I see it."

Chen Xuan looked slightly troubled and bargained, "How about this, give me two more spectator spots."

Both the Mountain Lord and the two Realm Lords contributed greatly to capturing the Qingqiu Fox, and Chen Xuan will not keep all the benefits for himself.

Moreover, such high-level immortal inheritance can only be obtained through formal means and cannot be passed on to outsiders; otherwise, it will bring trouble upon oneself... Great beings like True Lords will directly intervene in such serious matters concerning the lineage of the Dao.

Bai Jintong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Simply observing for a day is not enough for anyone to truly memorize the various immortal techniques; even the most powerful figures couldn't do it in their youth... Any insightful observations that can be applied to other areas are considered remarkable gains.

Therefore, there is no difference between one person and three people.

The silver-haired old fox's face was gloomy, as if he was about to get angry, but he snorted coldly and held back, staring at Chen Xuan and saying, "You do have some sense of propriety."

She knew that Chen Xuan had some talent, having defeated the mountain god and mastered three immortal techniques... If Chen Xuan were to observe the Qingqiu immortal techniques for a long time, he might actually learn something from them.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan agreed to observe for a day and did not make any further unreasonable demands.

Otherwise, the silver-haired old fox would use his power to intimidate others and stop the deal.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan summoned the Human Emperor Banner, and a white fox spirit, just over an inch tall, rolled out from the banner. Chen Xuan said to Bai Jintong, "Take her away."

"Finally, they've come to save me!" White Fox Goddess couldn't help but let her tears fall like scattered starlight. She said aggrievedly, "I thought that Ancestor White Grass was really heartless enough to sell me to the Southern Wilderness as a maid!"

For the past six months, she has lived in constant fear. She is a very beautiful fox spirit from Qingqiu, but she has fallen into the hands of a young and impetuous human, and anything can happen.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan was focused on cultivation and, apart from occasionally asking her about cultivation problems, did not do anything else excessive.

How could she endure all this? The White Fox Goddess sometimes thought this while inside the Human Emperor's Banner.

"Aunt Youyou!" Bai Jintong quickly hugged Bai Hu'er, very worried that something messy might have happened.

Something must have happened. No one can resist the charm of the Qingqiu Fox. Aunt Youyou was once a famous enchanting beauty in the Southern Region... Aunt Youyou is so pitiful!
Bai Jintong guessed this in her heart, looking at the tearful White Fox God with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Upon seeing that the White Fox had been released, the silver-haired old fox immediately questioned Chen Xuan, "Where are the other foxes? Why didn't His Highness Zhao Shenhu release them! Quickly ask the third question!"

"Old woman, is the transaction over?"

Chen Xuan said coldly, "Bring me the Immortal Array Technique first! The transaction is halfway done. I released the most valuable White Fox God, and Qingqiu has already gained a great advantage."

The silver-haired old fox flew into a rage and shouted, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! You're deliberately making things difficult for Qingqiu! Ask the third question right now, and then release the other foxes!"

Chen Xuan glanced at her indifferently, twisted his wrist, and asked with a smile:

"Old woman, do you want me to knock all your teeth out?"

"You!" The silver-haired old fox was furious, his hand squeezing the cane so hard it cracked.

She remained motionless, staring intently at Chen Xuan with a chilling and terrifying gaze for a full thirty breaths. Her neck, which was tilted back, stiffened slightly. Finally, she casually looked away.

"As expected of the Southern Wilderness Holy Son who just slew the Mountain God, you are still so eloquent despite your injuries. You have great courage and the demeanor of a human prodigy." The silver-haired old woman gave an ugly smile and commented.

She was helpless; Chen Xuan really dared to disrespect her.

Furthermore, the silver-haired old woman was convinced that Chen Xuan was deliberately targeting her by not asking the third question, so that he would have a reason not to release the Zhao family's fox.

But she had no choice but to endure it. In fact, she dared not say anything more outrageous, because she was worried that if Chen Xuan really beat her up, she would lose face. She had witnessed the barbarity and rudeness of the Southern Wilderness people today!

After all, it's impossible to pay such a huge price and descend from the Great Void just because of this verbal dispute... Moreover, Chen Xuan's identity is ultimately special, and if someone bullies the weak, they will most likely be punished afterwards.

"Whoosh!" The divine power fluctuations in the silver-haired old woman's eyes disappeared, and Granny Zhao's consciousness departed. Having lost face, she could no longer stay here.

"Brother Chen, please don't take offense. Granny Zhao was just in a hurry, but we Qingqiu people have no ill intentions towards you." Bai Jintong sighed inwardly and could only apologize to Chen Xuan again.

Although she was of noble status, the Zhao family's wandering fox spirits were putting on airs, and she was not able to deal with them for the time being.

Of course, Bai Jintong was not lying. Since Qingqiu was willing to approach Chen Xuan through "redemption," it meant that most of Qingqiu did not want to easily start a conflict with the Southern Wilderness of the Mountain Ghost.

The Mountain Spirit merely sought immortality and seclusion; he did not die like the other four True Lords.

Even if she fails to achieve immortality in the end, she still has a great chance of returning to the mortal world!

"It's alright." Chen Xuan looked at Bai Jintong, indicating that she could go back and retrieve the Immortal Technique.

Soon, Bai Jintong led the Qingqiu foxes at the foot of the mountain away from Tiger Mountain to find the nearest Two Realms Market and return to Qingqiu.

Chen Xuan stood under the ancient tree, gazing at the rising sun in the distance for a few moments. He silently counted a few times, thinking to himself, "There are more than twelve hands... These hands shouldn't belong to immortals, could they be True Lords?"

Asgard.

Fu Long Zhenjun once said that he missed the path to immortality above his head, which means he could not see the view above his head... There are indeed living immortals in the heavens.

But some immortals must have died; they were either of the Water element or the Thunder element.

A few days later.

At Tiger Mountain, the mountain spirit formally buried the little dog's body and soul, and began its ascension to godhood.

This will be a major event that takes years to complete, and there is a risk of death in the mortal world, with only one in a hundred surviving.

"If I fail and my soul returns to the Southern Wilderness, I hope Your Highness will take care of my few tiger cubs that I picked up." The Mountain Lord bid farewell to Chen Xuan, as if he were saying his last words.

There was no mother tiger on Tiger Mountain, and Chen Xuan had long guessed that Tiger Big's cubs were not of the same bloodline as the little mongrel.

"Okay." Chen Xuan nodded in agreement and then walked down Tiger Mountain.

He turned around at the foot of the mountain, gazing calmly at the rings of golden seal script rising from the mountaintop.

The Mountain Lord's natural talent and innate abilities are not outstanding. His mediocre bloodline is so weak that he cannot even awaken the Mountain and Sea True Scripture and supernatural powers that are compatible with it. It is only by relying on the Mountain Goddess's casual enlightenment of the "Mountain Lord True Scripture" that he has come this far with great difficulty.

Therefore, his loyalty to the mountain spirit remained unchanged even in death.

"Tiger Mountain cannot be considered a top-tier feng shui location."

The Golden-Winged Roc said with some worry, for it had always held the mountain lord and the old tortoise in high esteem, and now it couldn't help but sigh:
"The bloodline of the Mountain Lord is also somewhat inferior, so Tao Hongchen's chances are extremely slim. In most cases, he will perish at Tiger Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Feathered Phoenix also sighed, "The top alchemists in the mountains would try their best to escape the mortal world before they die of old age, but in the last thousand years, only the Chilong God has succeeded... The Mountain Lord is a little anxious. Alas, his second incarnation, which was forced to reveal its true form, can no longer hold on."

The mountain king was forced to return to the origin, and the second incarnation he lived in had too many hidden dangers, and his injuries had not yet healed.

Over the past two years, they have frequently engaged in power struggles and accomplished many things, gradually reaching the point of collapse.

Chen Xuan was always very clear about the state of the mountain king.

The golden seal script on the mountaintop gradually spread outwards, with endless Daoist charm flowing around it. One after another, sword-shaped metal peaks rose from the ground, and gold, silver, black iron and other metals squeezed out from the ground, radiating a metallic luster.

Chen Xuan looked at it for a moment, then took out the golden crow statue and buried it under the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain.

"This..." The Golden Roc and the Luan Bird were stunned. The Holy Son of Man was actually willing to leave behind such a treasure. Was he going to help the Mountain Lord ascend to godhood?
Beneath the Tiger Mountain Stele, a soft divine light shone forth. Immediately afterward, vegetation grew wildly, countless precious herbs sprouted, and a rich life force permeated the air. Then, clear sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls echoed from the ground, indicating that the earth's veins were thriving.

The essence of the Golden Crow ascending to the divine land for thousands of years caused the entire Tiger Mountain to rapidly evolve into a feng shui treasure land.

"Let's go."

Without a second thought, Chen Xuan got up and left Tiger Mountain. Immediately afterward, he contacted Jiang Qinghuang through a communication talisman, exchanged a few words, and asked Jiang Qinghuang to take care of Tiger Big and the other little ghosts. Then, he turned to Jiang Qinghuang and said, "You two, go to the Chu Kingdom to seek your fortune."

The Golden Roc and the Luan Bird were still some distance from reaching the peak of their cultivation, and they had long been eager to go to the Chu Kingdom to participate in the chaotic war.

"Where is Your Highness going?" the Golden-Winged Roc asked.

"I'm going to Yunmeng Prefecture. You two, cultivate diligently, don't eat people, and don't let down the Mountain Demon Goddess!" Chen Xuan replied, then summoned the Two Realms Ship and strode into it.

He is not prepared to participate in the war against Chu for the time being.

Firstly, the monsters of the Southern Wilderness have been on the Chu battlefield for half a year. After several major battles, they have recaptured many cities, but now they are in a stalemate, and the skirmishes are all minor.

These six months.

Chen Xuan chose to stay in the Southern Wilderness to deal with the Golden Crow God and clear away the surrounding threats for the Mountain Lord, thus having to give up a small opportunity for war in the Chu Kingdom.

There are gains and losses; that's how it is in the world of Qi cultivation. Every choice will have different results.

Secondly, Hua Liuli, the master of both realms, has been urging Chen Xuan several times recently, as the important matter of reopening the Qingnang Dojo is imminent.

The Qingnang Dojo is a "backer" found by the Mountain Spirit. Chen Xuan is currently just a vessel, so he trusts the Mountain Spirit's judgment.

"The injuries are severe. I'll just have to ask Hua Liuli for some healing pills," Chen Xuan thought to himself. Even with the teleportation array activated, the Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body, which had been reconstituted, was showing signs of collapse again.

A moment later, Chen Xuan arrived at Yunmeng Market.

"brush!"

As soon as he landed, Chen Xuan exhaled a breath of air that smelled of blood. Immediately, he looked around and realized that something was wrong. The Yunmeng Market was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a battle was about to break out.

Old Zhang, who resembled the True Lord Tai Xuan, was holding a large broom and sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the teahouse all by himself, like a handyman.

"Damn it! The dignified Daoist Master of Qingnang Daoist Temple, the world-renowned Tai Xuan Zhenjun, has actually been reduced to doing menial tasks. Hua Xuan Nu is going too far!" Old Zhang, wearing a tattered gray robe, worked while angrily complaining about Hua Liuli's inability to use people.

"Old man!" Chen Xuan walked over and asked, "What did the two realm lords go out to do?"

In their field of vision, Hua Liuli's black light spot was not in the Yunmeng Market.

Hearing the familiar voice, Old Zhang instinctively shuddered, slowly turned around, glanced at Chen Xuan with his cloudy eyes, and said in a pretentious manner:

"Little fellow, times have changed. Please address me as Lord Tai Xuan Zhenjun!"

With the identity of the Supreme Mysterious True Lord, even the most arrogant and rude person in the world cannot lay a hand on him!
Chen Xuan scratched the back of his head and asked, "Respected True Lord Tai Xuan, what did Princess Hua Xuan Nu go off to do?"

"He went to kill someone!"

Old Zhang's eyes darted around, and he immediately threw down the bamboo broom in his hand, grabbed Chen Xuan's arm, and started walking out of the Yunmeng market, shouting:

"They think we Qingnang Sect has no one to rely on? Come on, Xiao Chen, this True Lord will take you to wipe out those bastards from the Five Elements Sect!"

Old Zhang was excited; finally, he had a reason not to do chores... Bah! Chen Xuan has arrived, and so have the Qingnang Dojo's henchmen!

"Huh?" Chen Xuan was a little confused. He had just arrived in Yunmeng Prefecture and was already about to engage in magical combat and kill someone?
He was injured!
