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

Chapter 317: Diverting trouble to the east
Chen Xuan strolled along, pondering what unexpected events the Supreme God Ye Kui would bring him, but with the appearance of Xiao Hou, he temporarily put aside his wandering thoughts.

"Chen Xuan, let's talk in private. It's important." Xiao Hou walked over anxiously, looking annoyed. He had just been in a fight and had been beaten black eyes by Ye Kui.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

In the mortal world, most chosen ones try their best to hide their tracks, but later some peak chosen ones were listed in the list of immortals, and their detailed identities and backgrounds were revealed by the Heavenly Palace.

When the Mountain and Sea Banquet was held, most of the promising talents from the Five Directions Land were successfully recruited from beyond the heavens because of the true scriptures and techniques they cultivated... Even ordinary furnaces like Xiao Hou were brought in.

Thus, everyone realized that in a world with advanced cultivators, junior cultivators had no secrets whatsoever... To truly powerful figures, the deliberate concealment of the chosen ones was rather naive and laughable, as they were controlled from the very beginning.

Xiao Hou remained extremely cautious. He glanced at the nearby cultivators, approached Chen Xuan, pointed to his head, and whispered, "That Supreme God is not clear-headed. He may become a puppet of destiny, like a wild beast in the mountains. I suspect he has read the next part of the 'Supreme True Scripture'."

Chen Xuan said, "It was expected."

When Xiao Hou first met Ye Kui a few months ago, Ye Kui was only a low-level cauldron, but now his realm has skyrocketed to the peak of the cauldron, which must be a major hidden danger.

Yan Yushu could act without restraint because Chen Xuan had been in charge and had thwarted the malicious attacks of the Six Desires Heaven, but the Supreme God Ye Kui was all alone.

Xiao Hou said, "Your physique should be the best here. The physiques of those divine immortal beings like Sparrow King and Flowing Frost are far more resilient than those of the Cauldron Divine Body, but they can't do anything to you and are easily suppressed. I think the Extreme Dao God's Fighting Section 'Extreme Dao True Scripture' is very suitable for your immortal body."

He witnessed Chen Xuan whipping the Divine Wandering Immortal Sparrow King and Liushuang in the crowd, and was deeply shocked. He felt that Chen Xuan was giving face to a demon like him.

Chen Xuan laughed and said, "I did my best and made use of the Dao Palace rules. If the Sparrow Emperor and the others could use their immortal energy, it would be terrifying. They are very powerful."

Leaving aside the Sparrow King, who is skilled in magic but has an average physical body, another warrior, Liu Shuang, who excels in combat, made him use seven or eight parts of her immortal body power. Her attainments in the field of physical body are extremely amazing.

"Don't be modest. You definitely still have the strength left. Besides, you've seen all their secrets, looted all their treasures and storage bags, and their strength has been severely weakened." Xiao Hou said sarcastically.

Nearby, many people pricked up their ears, quietly watching the situation.

With the departure of the Six-Eared Ape, a demon immortal of the Doubu tribe, and the capture of the demon god Liushuang as a slave, everyone temporarily submitted to the power of the Five Hidden Soldiers' Martial Immortal Body. Some of the Doubu demons who were originally indignant became calm and peaceful.

"Xin Zhai left his seat; perhaps he's set his sights on some super prodigy again?" someone whispered.

Without a doubt, Chen Xuan has become the sole central figure here, and his every move is under the scrutiny of countless eyes.

"That young man in black robes with panda eyes, could he be looking for help?" Some people had noticed the conflict between Xiao Hou and Ye Kui.

"Those two are very likely to be chosen ones!" some people speculated with certainty, because Ye Kui and Xiao Hou had both displayed special powers, which were somewhat similar to Wan Shi Zun.

"This chosen one who plays with fire is incredibly audacious. Isn't he afraid that Xinzhai will destroy his destiny...?"

The Ascension Platform was vast and boundless. The dim runes and magic arrays on the ground shimmered with a faint, luminous glow as people walked over them, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.

Because there are no buildings on the ascension platform, the view is expansive, and one can see all the way to the end.

"It's him, the martial artist from Peach Blossom Spring in the Southern Wilderness who admires me!" In the distance, Ye Kui spotted Xiao Hou meeting with Chen Xuan.

He immediately got up and left, not because he didn't want to meet the fanatical admirers, but because he learned from the discussions among the people nearby that Chen Xuan was a monk.

"They've chased us all the way from Yaoguang Prefecture to the Mountain and Sea Banquet!" Ye Kui muttered to himself. He had seen Chen Xuan subdue Liu Shuang and knew that Chen Xuan was an anomaly in the realm of physical strength, and that he was no match for him.

"The mad beast is trying to escape!" Xiao Hou, who was constantly monitoring Ye Kui's condition, immediately said anxiously, "We have to catch him quickly!"

"Chase!" Chen Xuan leaped lightly, covering hundreds of feet. Although he had no immortal energy to support him, his immortal body was still far beyond the limits of the mortal world.

The scene erupted in uproar. Xinzhai was really going to attack a chosen one. Was he trying to destroy the foundation of a chosen one?
Even some of the top geniuses in the vicinity all looked in this direction.

"This person has really gotten on my nerves!" Ye Kui's heart sank.

In the years since he passed through Yaoguang Prefecture, he has spent most of his time hiding and fleeing, using the resources and ultimate power he accumulated by killing various Qi-cultivating beings at the Mountain and Sea Banquet, which has made him a high-level cauldron.

In the past few days, he fought his way through, eliminating many cauldron demons, and pushing some of the spells he had obtained by chance to their peak, thus replenishing his combat strength... Even when facing a Divine Traveler, he still had some ability to protect himself.

"But compared to those who have long been famous, such as the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Generations and the Immortal Seed, he still lacks the accumulation of experience." Ye Kui was very clear-headed: "Chen Xuan is now so strong that he is not a normal person."

"Wow!"

Ye Kui fled, and Chen Xuan pursued him.

Chen Xuan sped away like a whirlwind. Although Ye Kui had followed the path of martial arts and achieved certain success, his speed was still far inferior to that of the Five Hidden Soldiers Martial Immortal Body. Ye Kui was like a toddler being chased by a prehistoric beast.

"About four years ago, my True Lord Master sensed a fluctuation in the fortune of the Dou Tribe, saying that a Dou Tribe destiny must have descended upon the human race. It turns out that it should be this [Extreme God]." In the central area, Liu Shuang stared at the departing figure of Chen Xuan.

Hua Liuli glanced at her and said, "I've heard that the [Supreme God] appeared once in ancient times, and some demons call him the Supreme Mandate of the Fighting Clan?"

"The higher the level of martial arts, the higher the level of the ultimate god can reach," Liu Shuang whispered, revealing some hidden rumors.

"【Supreme God】has never even achieved the rank of Immortal, yet he still receives such high praise?" Hua Liuli was shocked upon hearing this. She knew that even the two Realm Lords who had achieved the rank of Immortal had never received such high praise.

"If it weren't for the demon race's martial arts immortal mountain blocking his way, which is difficult to overcome, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to become an immortal."

As she spoke, Liu Shuang put down the tea set she was holding, turned around and left with her long, slender legs.

"Take good care of my sacred artifact; it's all yours!" She turned and laughed.

Xinzhai went to cause trouble for others, so Liushuang naturally had to flee immediately. Her thin clothes fluttered as she disappeared like a nimble forest deer.

On the ascension platform, Chen Xuan pursued Ye Kui, and everyone along the way quickly made way for him.

A short while later, the two left the noisy central area one after the other, and there were hardly any other banquet guests left to be seen.

"I overestimate his immortal body; he's not good at speed." Ye Kui glanced back. The other party's speed was only slightly faster than his, and he estimated that by the time everyone at the banquet had arrived, they would all have difficulty catching up with him.

"Get away from the crowd, we can get to work now." Chen Xuan deliberately suppressed his speed, successfully chasing Ye Kui from the crowded area to a quiet place. The next moment, a sonic boom rang out, and his speed increased dramatically, like a streak of dark blue lightning, instantly closing a large distance.

"This... he can go even faster, what kind of monster is this?" Ye Kui felt a chill run down his spine and immediately realized that the other party was deliberately hiding his speed in order to drive him to a deserted place.

Why did Xinzhai do this?
Their wolfish ambitions are now crystal clear!

"You're forcing me, everyone's forcing me—" Ye Kui's eyes began to redden, and his expression seemed to twist, a violent emotion surging in his heart.

Not only did Chen Xuan increase his speed, but during the pursuit, golden light shone in his eyes as he activated the power of his Heart Cleansing Technique, which landed on Ye Kui's back.

"This..." Ye Kui felt as if he were being pricked by a thorn in his back. He instantly regained his composure, and the red light in his eyes went out, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water in the dead of winter.

At the same time, he used his agility to suddenly move to the side to avoid being seen from behind.

"As expected, it's a lone beast, extremely alert." Chen Xuan was surprised. The other party was a martial artist as excellent as him, with an extremely high sense of inexplicable danger, as if it were instinct, and would always make the right choices.

However, Ye Kuifang's swaying motion greatly affected his escape speed.

“Xin Zhai is bloodthirsty. He wasn’t confident before, but now that he has the strength, he’s bound to fight me!” Ye Kui felt a chill in his heart, seriously doubting Chen Xuan’s true intentions in deliberately getting close to him back then.

Immediately, it ran off in one direction.

Over the years, he learned through various channels that the ancient Xinzhai sect was known for its viciousness, and that almost no one who encountered the chosen one of the ancient Xinzhai sect could escape death.

Moreover, Ye Kui had met Chen Xuan in Peach Blossom Spring and vaguely felt that he was also a bloodthirsty and "cold" person who killed people without considering right or wrong, only based on his own likes and dislikes.

"Brother Niu, after we parted years ago, I always felt that you would surely make a name for yourself. Seeing you today, I am truly impressed by your profound cultivation. It seems you have been well since we last met!" Chen Xuan laughed loudly, moving closer to Ye Kui.

"You!" Ye Kui was in a state of utter confusion. This tone was just like that of a great demon! But the beautiful girl from Chu was also at the Mountain and Sea Banquet at the moment. Why didn't Xin Zhai cause trouble for her? Didn't he know that she was also a chosen one?

In this emergency, with no other options, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and fled in another direction.

In a distant land, the Venerable One sat cross-legged, a golden sword embryo resting on his lap, silently comprehending the supreme inheritance of the lightning element.

A pretty woman in a robe with lightning patterns approached and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Chen Xuan of Xinzhai, who killed Qin Yu the Martial Glutton, is here. After the banquet, should we take revenge...?"

The Venerable One of Ten Thousand Worlds radiated light, overflowing with golden lightning, like a god. His thick, black hair cascaded over his mountain-like shoulders. When he looked up, his eyes were like an ancient, cold abyss, devoid of emotion or desire. He said, "Qin Yu's aptitude is slightly lacking, making it difficult for him to become a true chosen one. If it weren't for Xinzhai and Nanmian, I would personally kill them..."

The woman in the thunder robe was graceful and beautiful. She said, "Qin Yu is too arrogant. Even His Highness spent many years dealing with the malice of the Chosen One hidden in the lower half of the True Scripture of Destiny."

Then she added, "But Xinzhai poses a fatal threat to Tianming and is a huge hidden danger. Judging from his actions on the Ascension Platform, he must be a madman. Moreover, it seems that Fairy Liuli has also been coerced by him."

She knew that Hua Liuli, the master of the two realms, was an old friend of Wan Shizun, Wu Taotie, and others. It was because the two realms market secretly acquired thunder-related resources that Leizu Daoshan was able to connect with the young Wan Shizun.

Moreover, there were rumors in Yunmeng Prefecture that the two realm lords and the Ten Thousand Worlds Venerable had an unusual relationship, which made her jealous.

Hua Liuli had been close to His Highness, yet she succumbed to Xinzhai's control. She had no self-respect and was a fickle woman!

The Venerable One spoke in a magnetic voice, “I once promised that if I were to find the tribulation of Tao Hongchen’s destiny, I would bring together a group of old friends to shine together.”

"I was too late and let them down."

As times changed, Qin Yu, being a martial artist, was unyielding and thus turned into a skeleton in the Guyao Mountains. Hua Liuli, on the other hand, probably sought another path and turned to cultivate the "Dang Kang True Scripture" of the Qingnang Dojo.

"Your Highness, it's just that they're unlucky." The woman in the thunder robe said softly, her eyes full of admiration, "You are the Supreme One of Destiny. Only you are the savior of Hua Liuli and the other chosen ones. Xinzhai only knows how to kill and is as lowly as dust in front of you."

As they were saying this, a whooshing sound came from afar.

Two small black dots, one after the other, hurtled toward this place with a whooshing sound.

"A mad martial artist, and... Xinzhai!" The woman in the thunder robe's expression changed. Unable to activate her immortal energy, by the time she could see the figure clearly, the other party was already very close!

"Zheng!"

Wan Shizun stood up, sword in hand. His deep features were cold and aloof, and his pupils seemed to flash with ancient thunder. At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everything around him became quiet.

"Wow!"

Ye Kui fled frantically, his feet bursting with crimson light. He saw a figure ahead radiating golden lightning, and was overjoyed. The Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Worlds was indeed here!
Chen Xuan frowned. Ye Kui was actually fleeing towards the area where Wan Shizun was located. Was he trying to shift the blame to the east?
"Faster, faster!" Ye Kui shouted in his heart, wishing he could fly. Xinzhai was only a few hundred meters away from him. If no "accident" happened, who knew what Xinzhai wanted to do to him!

The woman in the thunder robe had a frosty expression. She took a few graceful steps forward and said softly, "Stop here. If there is any conflict, resolve it elsewhere. Don't get involved!"

Her eyes were cold as she pointed at Ye Kui and Chen Xuan from Xinzhai behind him, issuing a stern warning.

"What are you yelling about?!" As Ye Kui passed by, he suddenly turned around, his expression fierce, and with a loud thud, punched the woman in the thunder robe in the chest.

"You!" The woman in the thunder robe was horrified and hurriedly raised her hand to block, but Ye Kui's iron fist was powerful. In an instant, her arm broke, her chest caved in, and she flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she coughed up blood. She couldn't understand why this mad martial artist, who had already been taught a lesson by Wan Shizun several times, still dared to attack his people so recklessly!

Wan Shizun's expression turned cold. Holding the golden sword embryo, he chased after Ye Kui and launched an attack, a golden sword light slashing towards Ye Kui's back.

"Huh?" Chen Xuan was stunned when he saw this.

"Zheng!"

Ye Kui was cleaved away by a sword strike, but after landing, he jumped up and shouted, "Chen Xuan, I'll help you deal with Wan Shizun!"

He caused trouble for the Supreme Being of All Ages, but he didn't have time to cause trouble for this Supreme God!

"..." Chen Xuan stopped in his tracks, and then his gaze swept over the Myriad Worlds Venerable and the Supreme God in front of him.
