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

Chapter 284 An Inevitable Calamity
Yan Yushu was very focused on his practice, using all eighteen techniques with light touches, slow twists, and sweeping motions.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult! My path to destiny is harder than ascending to heaven..."

She murmured softly, sometimes with a serious expression, her delicate brows furrowed, like a gentle spring mountain concealing her charm; at other times, she looked up, her alluring eyes sparkling like stars, capable of eclipsing everything in the world.

"Mmm!" Yan Yushu's delicate body tensed up like a bowstring, and she trembled a few times as if she had been electrocuted.

They advanced to the next realm.

"How many times?" She turned to look at Chen Xuan, her flushed cheeks regaining their composure, a faint hint of languid weariness in her eyes, and said, "Help me count!"

"This is the third tribulation," Chen Xuan said, then asked with concern, "Can you handle it? Should we take a break?"

Outside, he was resisting the lightning tribulation, bathing in pure lightning light, and undergoing a cleansing and purification process.

His physical body and innate qualities have undergone numerous tribulations, and his meridians, bones, and blood are filled with a rich Daoist aura, approaching tens of thousands.

Legend has it that immortal beings possess innate talents exceeding ten thousand, a realm unattainable by mortals.

Just like those geniuses in the divine register, they were born with the rare "nine-five" appearance, but after breaking through limits and undergoing nine tribulations, they became the peak furnace, and could only be promoted to the "nine-nine number".

The boundary is unbreakable.

“Everyone’s physique is different. I want to test where my limits are.” Yan Yushu puffed out her cheeks, her eyes were firm, and her tone was serious.

Time was tight at the banquet, and she knew Chen Xuan had other things to do, so she wanted to finish as soon as possible.

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was immediately awestruck by Yan Yushu's beauty and said, "Alright, don't hurt yourself."

In fact, he found it quite difficult, as there were nine realms from the first level of the cauldron to the mortal realm.

It's quite exaggerated that she has to perform at least nine consecutive thrusts in a short period of time.

However, within the realm of the Six Desires and Heavenly Fate, only the soul can exist. She cannot rely on external objects and can only depend on herself.

"Her destiny is very high, but the side effects are too great," Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

Even with Xinzhai in charge, it still couldn't protect against all her side effects.

If it were the Heavenly Evolution Path, this embarrassing situation would never have occurred, let alone the purely auxiliary destiny of the Two Realms Lords and Emperor Yanming.

After all, Yan Yushu breaking through a realm in a single attempt is simply too exaggerated...

“Because you are here, I dare to try,” Yan Yushu said.

If Xinzhai hadn't been there, she would never have dared to use the Six Desires Heaven Breakthrough Realm repeatedly. If she used it two or three times in a row, she would have been maliciously corrupted and turned into a terrifying demon.

Time passed, and several hours later...

At the foot of the mountain, the Qi practitioners who had been watching had all suppressed their smiles and were now completely silent, as if they had been petrified.

"It is said that every time the demoness of the Six Desires Heaven breaks through a realm, she must choose a Daoist partner from among her followers to cultivate the Buddhist practice of Joyful Meditation. Only after several months can she regain her conscious will." In the deathly silence, someone spoke.

Furthermore, the higher the level of attainment, the more severe the impact.

"But now, seven... or eight tribulations?" someone said in a deep voice, a chill rising in their heart.

What happened at that moment was too horrifying.

In just a few hours, they covered a distance that would take the most outstanding talents in a province at least twenty years to traverse?!

"Perhaps... the Goddess Yan has lost control, and a chosen one is about to transform into a demon." Someone muttered to himself, his expression grave, and he became alert.

The influence of the Six Desire Realms on the higher-level spiritual travel is not very serious.

Therefore, if an unforeseen accident occurs in the Six Desire Realms... the spirits will make the right choice.

"You two had better know your limits..." Su Fuyao muttered to herself, her fingertips gently rubbing the black and white twin swords at her waist. One of the important purposes of the Immortal Seed was to... suppress the out-of-control Destiny Demons.

Why is the Immortal Seed so powerful that it seems to exist in a completely different world from other geniuses?

When the Six Desire Realms are overrun by such a monstrous being, and it emerges as a demon, what kind of extraordinary talent would be needed to resist it?

—A celestial seed, possessing the power to quell all those destined for heaven.

This statement is not something made up.

"Eh, which fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation?"

Just then, hundreds of miles away, Hua Liuli, the master of the two realms, used the Qingnang Technique to precisely cross realms and landed beside Su Fuyao, asking with a look of surprise, "Sword Fairy, who broke through to a higher realm during the Mountain and Sea Banquet?!"

"Hua Hua, you're too late. She's broken seven or eight times already." Su Fuyao looked at Hua Liuli with pity in her eyes.

"This!" Hua Liuli exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening like autumn water, her chest trembling, "Heroes of the world are indeed as numerous as carp crossing a river, emerging one after another!"

“You…” Su Fuyao opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Sword Fairy, what's wrong? Speak up." Hua Liuli looked puzzled. Then, she clenched her fist and muttered to herself, "I must write this earth-shattering story into my novel. It's sure to be a huge hit!"

Advancing seven realms in a single day is simply unbelievable.

Such records, whose veracity is unknown, only exist in ancient myths... Hua Liuli felt that just witnessing such a legendary event firsthand made the trip to the Mountain and Sea Banquet worthwhile!

"..."

In the Six Desire Realms.

Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, and he lowered his head slightly.

Like an octopus, Yan Yushu bit down on Chen Xuan's shoulder, but couldn't get a bite in. Her cheeks were bulging, her hair was disheveled, and it felt like all the bones in her body had been removed.

"Don't be like this, calm down..."

"I really can't push it any further, please help me, kind person..."

"They're watching!" Chen Xuan said, unusually embarrassed, as he nudged Yan Yushu's soft head.

"It's good that someone's watching..."

The two pushed and shoved each other, while the remaining demons, Buddhas, ghosts and gods in the Six Desires Heaven secretly watched. After a while, Yan Yushu wanted to tear off her clothes and pulled the man's big hand into her clothes. Her skin was smooth and shiny, and could be broken with a touch.

Chen Xuan, young and impetuous, found it somewhat inexplicably exciting, but his will was very firm.

"You've gone too far!" Chen Xuan wanted to punch the dazed Yan Yushu to bring her back to her senses, but since the two had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship, he couldn't just hit her like he used to.

What troubled him was that if he subdued Yan Yushu, she would be unable to cultivate. But if he didn't subdue her, she was indeed very difficult to deal with.

"Good man, have you ever heard of the spiritual connection described in books?" Yan Yushu muttered, her face flushed. Exhausted, she invited, "I don't believe you're completely unmoved by me. Just give it a try, okay..."

"boom!"

Chen Xuan remained unmoved, and instead punched Yan Yushu hard on the head, shouting, "You're trying to seduce me, but I won't fall for it!"

He was 90% certain that Yan Yushu was doing it on purpose; this pretty girl was wicked and wanted to take advantage of the situation to disrupt his Dao heart.

Xinzhai is now at a very high level, suppressing the malice of the Six Desires Heaven, so Yan Yushu can remain completely rational.

Yan Yushu, having been beaten, covered her head with both hands like a little calf, her hair flowing like a waterfall. Her eyes were full of grievance, and she was almost brought to tears by the bullying. She spat and cursed, "Chen Xuan, are you no good? If you're no good, just say so!"

The allure of the Six Desires Heaven had never worked on Chen Xuan before, but this time Chen Xuan took the initiative to come to his rescue.

Does this mean that the Six Desires Heaven finally had some effect on Chen Xuan, who was as hard as a rock?
She lacked confidence in this, but dared not ask directly...

"Stop talking nonsense." Chen Xuan sighed. He needed to conserve his energy to prevent her from going through a worldly tribulation.

"Okay, actually I didn't think that way." Yan Yushu became serious.

In the dim light of the night, she gazed intently at him, then rose and said in a somewhat detached tone, "Chen Xuan, I'm about to begin my journey through the mortal world..."

"Long..."

In the sky, a complete set of materials depicting a being from the Great Ruins fell down.

In an instant, the Six Desires Heaven darkened, and countless dark shadows, resembling both Buddhas and demons, surged out from the cracks in the sky. The demons danced wildly, creating a terrifying scene.

Chen Xuan's expression was serious; the final test of the Six Desires Heaven had arrived.

"Roar!" The countless demons and Buddhas, still fearing Chen Xuan, dared not attack Yan Yushu. So they fell down in a flurry, surging into the black lake and devouring the falling Taixu living materials.

"Buzz!"

Yan Yushu smiled sweetly at Chen Xuan, and rings of divine halos appeared on her body, like starlight rituals, enveloping the entire Six Desires Heaven, filled with golden light.

This is the Divine Travel chapter of the "Six Desires True Scripture," which I recently wrote down. It requires no cultivation; its evolution and transformation proceed automatically.

Immediately afterwards, her divine soul radiated a white, ethereal light, becoming increasingly realistic and rapidly condensing.

Moreover, her body radiated two divine lights, black-gold and white-gold, and with a crack, a divine sound of the Great Dao fell, as if she had entered a brand new world.

Is this the tenth realm of the cauldron? Or is it the legendary breakthrough of the cauldron's limits?
"No wonder there is a Heavenly Destiny Immortal Pill Path in the world... The chosen one can become an immortal or a demon in a single thought. Once they find an opportunity to rise to power, they are truly terrifying."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but admire Yan Yushu. For him at this moment, breaking through limits, the Divine Travel Scripture, and the Divine Soul Body—things that other Qi cultivators sought after and found difficult to cultivate—were all effortless, as easy as taking candy from a baby. If these demonic creatures like the Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds hadn't been successfully suppressed in their vulnerable infancy, and had truly carved out a path for themselves, they would have been monsters that even great cultivators would find hard to sleep or eat in unease.

At this moment.

Chen Xuan fulfilled all of Yan Yushu's expectations of him.

With Xinzhai in charge, suppressing malice, Yan Yushu completed the entire cauldron path in just a few hours, and everything was perfect.

The trials and tribulations of the mortal world that lie ahead are for her to face on her own.

"Old Zhai, everyone's doing so well now, you should pay more attention too," Chen Xuan muttered to himself, wiping his eyes.

He did not envy the rapid advancement path of the Six Desires Heaven. He had his own path, taking steady steps one at a time.

Not long after, he withdrew from the Six Desire Realms.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan regained full consciousness and stared at Yan Yushu, who was looking down in the tower, for a long time. He walked over, reached out and straightened her disheveled clothes, and then gently patted her shoulder.

"Yan Yushu, you have a bright future, go for it boldly," he murmured to himself.

At this moment, Yan Yushu could not hear his words.

Chen Xuan walked to a corner and sat down, then stared intently at Yan Yushu, who was in Tao Hongchen.

Will those naturally born deities from Yaochi come?

He thought to himself that a faint golden aura of spiritual energy was swirling within his deep eyes.

……

Beneath the green hills.

At this moment, everyone, including the demons, retreated, their expressions solemn, the atmosphere as still as dead water.

Because, circles of golden seal script spread out like a ritual, now covering hundreds of miles, and it was still expanding.

Wang Linyuan and the other divine beings realized that the Six Desires Goddess of the Tongtian Dojo had begun to withdraw from the mortal world.

"Is that martial arts kid still alive?" Su Fuyao muttered to herself, her eyes icy cold. She didn't know much about Xinzhai, so she couldn't guess the specific situation in the mountains.

But the situation at this moment indicates that the Six Desire Realms are doing something extremely crazy and terrifying.

"Sword Fairy, could this person who broke through the realm be a chosen one?" Hua Liuli asked in a low voice. Breaking through nine realms in a row and directly transcending the mortal world, no one but a chosen one could do such a thing.

For example, Zhang Dongxuan of the Qingnang Daoist Temple could cause a sensation throughout the entire Southern Region by simply withdrawing from the mortal world and regaining his divine status.

Moreover, Zhang Dongxuan had already experienced the tribulations of the mortal world. He was simply retracing his steps, making the difficulty incomparable to those who were experiencing the mortal world for the first time. It was much simpler for him.

“The Six Desires Heaven… may be out of control.” Su Fuyao said simply, then turned to face Hua Liuli and solemnly warned, “Hua Hua, you must behave yourself. Otherwise, martial arts kids may be merciful, but my sword shows no mercy.”

"Yes, yes." Hua Liuli nodded repeatedly. Secretly, she immediately activated the communication talisman left by Chen Xuan and tried to contact him: "Something terrible has happened! Where is he?!"

She knew that Liuyutian had a relationship with Chen Xuan.

Furthermore, she didn't want to see her fellow cultivators suffer an accident before her eyes... Although the Six Desires Heaven was terrifyingly evil, its reputation in the Qi cultivation world was still relatively good for the time being. It hadn't done anything that would incur divine wrath or public resentment.

"Buzz!"

Even now, within the dome of the Heavenly Eye, the enormous eye of the Candle Dragon appears, with various figures emerging one after another.

"Will the Six Desires Heaven succeed or fail? The betting has begun!" A slender figure holding an oil-paper umbrella spoke up.

“She can’t make it…” a voice said with certainty.

"The Jade Pool is the last remaining remnant of the gods with strength. The Six Desires Heaven is facing its calamity."

"This area belonged to the Jade Pool in ancient times..."

……

Life is like a dream, and existence is like a floating duckweed.

In Chen Xuan's mind's eye, it was as if a magnificent stage had been erected. He glanced around and glimpsed some of Yan Yushu's worldly tribulations.

Endless fantasies, leading to calamity.

Chen Xuan looked around and saw a wealthy family home with white walls and gray tiles, arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, and the walls covered with lush green vines.

The little girl wore a light pink dress, the hem of which fluttered like a blooming peach blossom swaying in the wind. She chased after butterflies, her laughter as clear and carefree as silver bells.

"She comes from a good family; she's a well-bred young lady from a prominent family in this small town," Chen Xuanxin said.

The scene changes rapidly.

When Xiao Yan was eleven years old, her father died of illness.

“Mother makes delicious food for Xiaoyan every day. Maybe Mother misses Father too?” The girl was beautiful, so she was too scared to step out of the house. She spent her days reading at home, and longed for the stories of gods and immortals in the book.

My mother fell ill. We went to the clinic and sought help from the only Qi-practicing old hermit in the small town. We spent all our savings, but she still didn't get better.

A few years later, her mother fell seriously ill. Seeing her mother in so much pain, Xiao Yan cried and said to her, "Mother, you will get better... Eat the food I cook, go to sleep, and you'll be fine..."

The next day, her mother couldn't get up or wake up, and she looked terrible. Xiao Yan quickly asked the neighbors to help her take her mother to the old sage's house.

Xiao Yan was exceptionally talented and learned many medical skills, but they couldn't cure her mother's illness... so she had to seek help from a kind old sage.

On the third day, Xiao Yan went to the old sage's house to see her mother. She was still asleep. Xiao Yan gently helped her wash her hands, and then she woke up.

The mother held Xiao Yan's hand and called her by her nickname, "Yan'er, Mother wants to go home..."

Xiao Yan asked, "Why?"

She was willing to do anything as long as her mother could live.

"It's not comfortable here, home is much more comfortable."

Xiao Yan took her mother home and sat for a while. Then she went to cook for her mother. When the food was ready, she went to call her mother. Her mother was sitting on the cold wooden bed, her eyes dark and staring straight at her.

“Mother…” She knew that her mother was experiencing a final burst of lucidity, and so, overcome with emotion, she shed tears of sorrow.

"Run away... Yan'er, you should run away..."

“If my daughter runs away, I won’t be able to live anymore…” Xiao Yan replied softly.

"Do you really want to save your mother...?"

The old woman's pale, cracked lips trembled, and her withered, claw-like hands gripped Xiao Yan's hand tightly, drawing blood. Suddenly, she said sternly, "The old immortal has taken a liking to you... You are a jinx... You know everything in your heart... You watched your father being murdered... You have caused your family to be destroyed!"

Her mother's eyes were filled with resentment, her voice was shrill, and her sharp fingers gripped Xiao Yan's arm tightly.

Xiao Yan's tears streamed down her face like pearls falling. She turned her head and saw a face peering out the window. The old immortal wore a benevolent yet eerie smile, his eyes filled with greed, like a demon, staring at her.

"Speak! Say something!" her mother demanded sharply, her voice like endless darkness enveloping Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan remained silent.

Moments later, her mother died in agony.

"..." Xiao Yan wiped away her tears, staring at her dead mother. Then, she looked at the old sage who had entered the house. The next moment, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

"You heartless and devoid of humanity, what kind of monster are you? In the Six Desires Heaven, you have no humanity whatsoever. You wear human skin, how can you know what it means to be human?" the old immortal questioned sternly.

The natural deities of Yaochi.

Finally came.

"How boring. I thought you had some more sophisticated tricks... so you couldn't help but show yourself?" Yan Yushu sneered, then sighed softly, "What good will this kind of probing do? Tao Hongchen shouldn't have any humanity left."

In the sky, Chen Xuan was looking up at a higher place.

The rosy clouds obscured the sun, and the sounds of golden gongs, jade chimes, and harps intertwined, carrying with them a powerful Daoist aura. Nine figures stood on the clouds, their pale golden eyes coldly surveying the earth below.

At the very center was a female cultivator, dressed in colorful robes with flowing sleeves. The divine pearls inlaid in her phoenix crown shone as brightly as the sun and moon, and layers of halos swirled behind her head, making her look like a goddess from mythology.

"Execute!" Her face was blurred, yet she possessed a dignified and solemn appearance, holding a golden decree as she spoke.

"Pfft!" In the courtyard, Yan Yushu felt a chill run through his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Everything before his eyes turned into a deep, dark red, flickering in and out of focus.

A phantom golden immortal sword, crackling with lightning, descended from the sky and slashed towards the courtyard.

"Hooray!"

The golden immortal sword shattered, turning into a shower of light that fell from the sky. In an instant, all the gods of Yaochi turned their heads, their gazes converging in one direction as a golden-red radiance shone forth.

"Gentlemen, please do me a favor?" Chen Xuan appeared and sighed.
