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

Chapter 307 The Advancing Kunpeng

In the vast and boundless void, sword intent roamed freely, and the power of Xinzhai awakened and permeated the air.

"Your Majesty, I see the pavilion!"

Chen Xuan spoke excitedly, seeing the surface of the White Emperor Pavilion covered with dense, irregular sword marks, resembling a chaotic ancient sword manual.
He immediately memorized everything he saw, leaving no trace behind.

The amount of information contained in those flowing sword intents was terrifyingly large. If it were any other Qi cultivator, seeing so many supreme sword intents at once, they would probably be directly shattered by the sword intents that evolved on their own.

"Ah, okay..." The princess came back to her senses, but to her surprise, even though their skin had touched, Chen Xuan's activation of the fourth level of the Heart Cleansing Power did not cause her any harm.

She used all her divine power to protect Chen Xuan. In the end, both of them were covered by a hazy talismanic light, becoming one with him, turning into a bluish-white star in the night sky.

As long as the princess can hold on, Chen Xuan will not be harmed no matter how much pain or hardship he suffers.

"Unparalleled throughout history!" Chen Xuan was completely absorbed in appreciating the sword intent.

His intuition told him that this was a supreme sword scripture that had evolved on its own, originating from the White Emperor Sword. Although it was not a legitimate White Emperor inheritance, if it could be organized, its power would definitely not be inferior to that of a typical supreme inheritance.

After all, when the Great Wilderness Ancient Immortal fell, the White Emperor Sword Master had already reached the top and was one of the strongest supreme beings who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Dao Ancestor, Heavenly Emperor, Taiyi, etc. His sword was of extremely high rank!
But those chaotic and terrifying sword intents, like 1.08 billion sword paths, emerged one after another, constantly flashing and disappearing. Even with Chen Xuan's comprehension, he found it extremely difficult.

Later, even the Empress's figure dimmed, as if about to dissipate. She transferred more gentle immortal light to Chen Xuan to ensure that he could withstand the continuous backlash from the supreme aura.

It is conceivable how terrifying the residual aura of the White Emperor Sword was, that even the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor could not resist it for long.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Empress's power comes from the Dao Palace. Every bit used is a bit less... After all, her long-term passive resistance and the full backlash may not be much easier than directly fighting the White Emperor Sword.

"Let's stop here. I've already benefited greatly and am satisfied." Chen Xuan was very worried about her.

Because the Empress had used up a large amount of her immortal spiritual power to protect his mind and body, she herself became illusory, and the situation was very bad.

"No, I know what I'm doing. The White Emperor Sword escaped. Such an opportunity is too rare... All supreme inheritances have their own consciousness. The candidates who can cultivate those methods were determined in ancient times. It's very difficult for you to gain the recognition of supreme divine powers in the mortal world. There are too many variables."

The princess shook her head. She would persist as long as Chen Xuan could, and she would not let him fail at the last moment.

Chen Xuan then stopped trying to persuade him. He was a man of iron will. Although he had a soft side to his personality, when it came to actually doing something, his will was extremely cold and indifferent. He continued to memorize all the disordered sword manuals.

At the same time, he pushed his Mind Fasting to its limit. In his vision, he saw the gate of the White Emperor Pavilion tremble slightly, and then a crack appeared, from which an even more magnificent sword intent poured out.

The greatest strength of Xinzhai lies in its ability to see through the fog.

Other abilities are merely those attached to each level of the Heart Fasting Realm... Even the Great Karma Immortal Technique of the Heart Fasting Realm only utilizes some of the powers attached to the Heart Fasting Realm at the Mortal Realm level.

Chen Xuan's gaze pierced through the crack in the door, glimpsing an even more surging sword intent within the pavilion. This sword intent was beyond the comprehension of any living being; it was densely packed, like endless, dazzling sword light slashing down, even tearing open the Dao Palace.

"puff!"

The Empress coughed up blood, but she persisted, constantly consuming her source power to resist the backlash of the White Emperor's sword intent. Since Chen Xuan had opened the fourth level of the Heart Fasting in advance and could see more things, she would do her best to get them for him.

Chen Xuan moved at will, quickly scanning all traces in the Imperial Pavilion, memorizing all the White Emperor Sword Intent, feeling a wordless immortal book forming in his mind, a "White Emperor Sword Scripture" involving the origin of swordsmanship!
"Zheng!"

Beyond the starry sky, a thunderous sword cry echoed. The departing White Emperor Sword Light had returned, so dazzling and breathtaking. The sword light seemed to tear through time and space, and nothing in the world could stop it.

"He has sensed something amiss at the Imperial Pavilion!" The Empress's expression turned solemn. At this moment, her entire body glowed and burned as she prepared to meet the light and shadow of the White Emperor Sword.

She had always harbored the idea of ​​fighting, and if the other party did not cooperate, she was prepared to take it by force. Although the other party was the sword intent of the White Emperor Sword, the blood of the supreme god of the Heavenly Emperor was also flowing in her body.

Even if she were to return to ancient times, she might not necessarily avoid a weapon belonging to the Supreme Being.

"Your Majesty, we've finished looking, let's go!" However, at this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly withdrew his gaze and pulled the increasingly hazy and illusory imperial princess.

In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow of the White Emperor Sword appeared in the endless, deep night sky, locking onto the direction of the Empress and Chen Xuan.

Even more so, the White Emperor Sword gives people a terrifying illusion that it is simultaneously flowing against the river of time, and even the Mountain Demon Goddess in the Shangyang Heaven outside will be cut down by this sword.

boom!
As the princess and Chen Xuan rapidly moved away, they constantly concealed their auras. Even so, they were still blown away by the immense killing aura, and both suffered severe injuries due to the disordered auras.

A crack appeared in the starry sky, and the White Emperor Sword burst forth, emitting terrifying fluctuations that indiscriminately enveloped all regions under this starry sky, comprehensively capturing their auras.

Chen Xuan noticed that the Empress's body was becoming increasingly dim, as she resisted most of the sword intent in order to protect him.

"The White Emperor Sword has no mind; it only knows how to kill!" Chen Xuan's heart pounded. Moreover, the opponent's mere trace of the sword unleashed a strike with power no less than that of a True Monarch of the Sword Dao. It was truly terrifying.

This kind of stubborn, inflexible creature is far more troublesome than the Great Yu Emperor.

"It's alright, a weapon is no problem for me. I'm confident I can escape its pursuit, and I doubt it will dare to go too far!" The Empress said, carrying him at high speed, like two thieves caught red-handed, leaving the area rather disheveled.

In the deep starry sky, the stars trembled and shattered into thousands of sword lights, which rushed out with the White Emperor Sword. This power was incredibly terrifying. Even some immortal figures in extremely distant regions felt a strange palpitation and felt like they were about to suffocate!

"Your Majesty, I'll take you away!" Chen Xuan said decisively. The Empress's Heavenly Emperor's inheritance could not be used, and her other methods were no more suitable for escaping than the Qingnang Secret Manual.

In terms of the ability to escape and pursue, the Qingnang lineage dares to claim second place, and few dare to claim first.

Chen Xuan fully activated the gentle immortal power originating from the Empress within his body and forcefully absorbed the remaining divine power within her. At this moment, it was as if he had activated the fully mastered [Mysterious Wind Spirit Water Hidden True Chapter]!
There was a bang.

The world was turned upside down, the stars hung upside down, the earth was suspended from the sky, and the Heavenly Corridor intertwined heaven and earth. Within a radius of millions of miles, all feng shui directions and the celestial and terrestrial principles were in complete chaos.

At this moment, only Chen Xuan could discern the direction. He and the Empress walked together on a magnificent golden heavenly road, disappearing amidst the surging sword intent and the auspicious feng shui light that symbolizes virtue and the carrying of all things.

However, the White Emperor Sword lived up to its reputation as a supreme weapon, instantly severing all the feng shui secret paths, rushing past, and unleashing a burst of sword light.

But it was too late; the sword light missed its mark by a hair's breadth, landing in empty space.

"Clang!" The White Emperor Sword hovered in place, having lost the aura of Chen Xuan and the Empress, but it still hummed and vibrated, as if sensing their location.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, it concealed all its aura, vanished into the void, and chased after something in one direction.

When Chen Xuan and the Empress emerged from the void, they discovered that the White Emperor Sword was not tracking them for the time being, but he still used the Green Bag Technique several times to constantly adjust his position.

"That'll keep it chasing for a while!" Finally, he stopped and landed in a sky-high corridor.

At this moment, Chen Xuan noticed that the princess in his hands was looking up at him with wide eyes, and she was actually smiling.

"You're finished! You dared to absorb my immortal power and then ran away with the Heavenly Emperor's daughter." The Empress spoke, her skin as white as ice and her long, silky hair flowing like a waterfall. She proudly raised her snow-white chin, looking serious as if she were blaming and criticizing Chen Xuan for disrespecting the gods.

"Your Majesty! In times of emergency, we must act expediently." Chen Xuan released the large hand on the princess's waist.

He knew that if the Empress really fought the White Emperor Sword, it would at least result in mutual destruction, and perhaps even worse. Choosing not to make contact was the best outcome.

"Alright." The Empress indulged Chen Xuan's explanation, even though she wasn't afraid of the White Emperor Sword.

Immediately, she twirled a strand of hair around the bronze lamp, looked at the oil inside, and said, "There's still plenty of time. I still have some strength left, so why don't we go somewhere else along the way..."

However, Chen Xuan did not intend to explore other regions. After all, the Empress's aura was very weak, as if she would dissipate in the wind at any moment.

Furthermore, if the White Emperor Sword is stingy, it is very likely that it will relentlessly pursue the bronze lamp. At this moment, it is better to remain still than to move.

"Huh?" Chen Xuan had originally planned to rest for a while in this sky-reaching corridor, but a glance out of the corner of his eye revealed a figure of a Shan Hai Banquet prodigy resting on the beauty railing on the left side of the corridor. The figure was staring in shock at them, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Your Majesty, it's not safe outside. There are bad people everywhere. Let's go." He immediately took the princess's hand and prepared to take off.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." The princess nodded, and then noticed the outsiders.

"Whoosh!" Chen Xuan pulled her into the air. In fact, she was in control, carrying Chen Xuan through the sky like two leisurely immortals, soaring through the starry sky.

Not far away, on the railing, a bewitching woman in red watched the two figures who had come and gone in a flash, her face filled with astonishment.

"Bad people...who are you referring to?" The demoness Feiyue from Mount Nuwa wondered, muttering to herself, "I was sitting here all by myself, was I in their way?"

She was enjoying a leisurely moment, admiring the beautiful starry sky by herself, when these two suddenly appeared, not only disturbing her but also arbitrarily slandering her innocence? These two... how despicable!
Feiyue remained silent for a moment, staring at the two figures in the night sky, who looked like a divine couple. The [Great Luo Heaven] on her fingertips spun playfully and rhythmically like a golden glass bead.

"I am a wicked demon, and the mountain spirit may not be any better."

A cold smile curved her lips as she muttered to herself, "Ha, the ruthless Xinzhai is about to be toyed with by the even more ruthless Shan Gui... How tragic."

In the distant starry sky, the immortal pavilions of the Water Virtue and Taiyin lineages are approaching, and many traces of the Dao left by ancient near-immortal Great True Lords emerge.

He voluntarily came down to pay his respects.

……

Soon after.

The top of another quiet, undisturbed skywalk.

"Your Majesty, the White Emperor Sword hasn't come for so long, it seems it's stopped chasing us." Chen Xuan sat on the roof of the corridor for a long time, bathed in golden immortal power, his cultivation was increasing rapidly.

"Well, at least it knows what's good for it..."

The princess stood on the eaves of the Tongtian Corridor, her eyes bright as she warily surveyed her surroundings. Her beauty was unparalleled and otherworldly; her green robes fluttered as if she were about to ride the wind away. She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being constantly in danger.

While enjoying a moment of tranquility, Chen Xuan continued to deepen his understanding of the "White Emperor Sword Scripture." He had a strong premonition that this sword scripture had reached the level of supreme inheritance.

This is the first inheritance he has received that involves the Supreme level!

"Huh?" The Empress suddenly turned her head and looked in a distant direction, saying in confusion, "Something that seems very powerful is coming."

"Who?" Chen Xuan looked up and asked. If it was the relentless White Emperor Sword, he would have no choice but to continue fleeing.

"You've learned the Kunpeng Scripture?" The Empress suddenly turned her head and asked in confusion.

"Huh?" Chen Xuan was taken aback when he heard this, and then his eyes immediately turned cold. Clearly, some inexplicable accident had come for him.

The princess originally wanted to continue playing and running away, but when she saw Chen Xuan's expression, her face also turned cold.

"Always running away is so boring. I want to see who dares to cause trouble for the Empress." Her stunningly beautiful face was frosty, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but her long eyelashes were slowly drooping, and a trace of sorrowful divine suffering appeared in her eyes.

A faint, dignified aura, like that of a celestial being or an earth deity in the rage, emanated from him.

"..." Chen Xuan looked at the princess, and his heart was filled with excitement. He realized that even the princess was wary of him.

……

at the same time.

In the distant sky, a black celestial pavilion streaked across the starry sky, bringing with it a dark cloud that seemed to foreshadow an impending storm.

"Fellow Daoist Beiming, could there be ancient Dao traces and ancient Xinzhai friendship?" In front of the pavilion, the Crimson Sparrow asked in a deep voice. The closer the important matter got, the calmer and more clear-headed it became.

Although the Dao traces and thoughts in the Dao Palace Ascension Platform are mostly left by ancient True Lords who sought immortality, they are not worth worrying about.

However, if there were other beings like Kunpeng Immortal who later managed to obtain the help of other immortals, things would become very complicated.

“Absolutely impossible. Xinzhai is too solitary and will eventually go mad. Those who have been close to him throughout history have only used him and then discarded him. Xinzhai will have no friends in the world.”

Bei Ming Kunpeng shook his head and continued with a cold laugh: "Don't be fooled by the fact that this generation of Xinzhai seems to have gathered some people around them. Those Heavenly Desire Heaven, the Lords of the Two Realms, and other demonic beings, as well as the immortal seeds like the Sword Embryo, do they have even a shred of true feelings?"

"They're just feigning compliance out of fear of power. If there were an absolutely safe method... I guarantee they'd be the first to defect."

Beiming Kunpeng paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, when my old immortal ancestor takes action, who in the entire Dao Palace is his match? Who would dare to disrespect him!"

Although Xiaoyao Mountain is tucked away in the bitterly cold Northern Sea and is not very well-known, its ancestors produced countless great demons. In terms of heritage, it fears no lineage in the world.

"The biggest problem is preventing Xinzhai from extinguishing the bronze lamp and leaving the moment he sees us," said Beiming Kunpeng. "Other matters are not a concern."

"That makes sense."

The red sparrow nodded as if he deeply agreed, then relaxed and smiled, flattering him, "I was just being a mediocre demon, it is you who are thoughtful and decisive."

Just then, it suddenly felt a strong sense of palpitation, as if an invisible immortal sword had brutally pierced through its body and disappeared into the black immortal pavilion behind it.

"What happened?" The red sparrow turned its head and looked at the gate of the Kunpeng Immortal Pavilion with a puzzled expression.

A sword vanished into the Kunpeng Immortal Pavilion?
But this seemed like a misperception.

"It must be my old immortal ancestor who used a secret method to check. Xinzhai is right ahead, and we have it in the bag!" Beiming Kunpeng also had a strange feeling, but it immediately revealed a profound smile of confidence.

"Clang!" The black immortal pavilion trembled violently, and faintly, the cry of a roc bird could be heard from within, as if it were also celebrating the upcoming great event.

"The old immortal ancestor is also very happy," said Beiming Kunpeng with a knowing smile.

"The Heart-Slaying Ceremony was a great undertaking that the ancient Supreme Heavenly Sovereigns once worked together to accomplish. We are now fortunate enough to do the same thing, and we are naturally overjoyed," said the Crimson Sparrow, his voice filled with excitement.

Soon, a secluded, towering corridor came into view.

As you can see, two figures stand on the roof of the corridor: a valiant figure in dark blue and a graceful figure in light blue and gold, both gazing in this direction.

"Xin Zhai—" From a great distance, the excited roar of the Northern Darkness Kunpeng resounded through the clouds.

"Hey, who's that woman?" Chi Que was about to shout as well, but her peripheral vision caught sight of the figure in green next to Xin Zhai.

The woman possessed a pair of pure golden eyes unique to gods and deities, looking down upon all living beings in the mortal world. Her cold gaze at this moment, looking down from her superior position, made it feel uneasy, and there was also a trace of fear from the depths of its soul.

"Fellow Daoist Beiming, a divine trace of immortality..."

"Excellent! Xinzhai will definitely not escape!" Beiming Kunpeng was overjoyed. He turned around and knocked on the black immortal pavilion door, shouting, "Respectfully requesting the Ancestor to appear!"

An eerie silence fell, with no response as expected...

On the Tongtian Corridor, Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself, "It seems like I'm about to break through."
