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

Chapter 352 The Dao Fruit of the Sages of the Fighting Division

Black mist surged into the sky, revealing rotten corpses of humans and demons, a truly horrifying sight.

This ancient mountain and sea, like a colossal creature, sped through the Taixu Ruins, disappearing into the distance in one direction.

"Buzz!"

A golden, auspicious path stretched across the void, extending in the shape of lightning, closely following the receding, enormous shadow.

"Left!" True Monarch Baicao listened to the wind and found her position. She put away Qingqiu Mountain and stood at the front of the secret path. Her white clothes fluttered like snow, and she was graceful and charming. Her ten lively celestial fox tails swayed in the wind, captivating the soul.

After adjusting his direction, Zhang Dongxuan secretly reminded Chen Xuan in his mind: "The Qingqiu Fox is cunning and untrustworthy; he doesn't speak the truth. We must be careful..."

He felt uneasy and was pessimistic about the so-called cooperation because, with Gu Yao's relocation, he had lost contact with Qingnang Mountain and his strength had been greatly diminished.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then replied vaguely, "Something unexpected happened suddenly, so there's no good opportunity now."

"Conspiring face to face? Are you treating me like I don't exist?" The sneer of True Lord Baicao echoed in both of their hearts at the same time.

"..."

Zhang Dongxuan immediately stopped thinking. The Wind Element True Lord was too strange; he had no secrets from them whatsoever.

Chen Xuan sighed inwardly. Xiao Zhang was a brave and capable fighter, a true "warrior," but his personality was too straightforward.

"I am curious about what methods you have prepared."

Bai Cao's intelligent voice continued: "Zhang Dongxuan's meticulously arranged Qingnang Fengshui Formation? It can indeed trap me for a period of time, but I have been listening to the movements for a year now, how could I fall for it so easily?"

Her unspoken meaning was simple: she had overheard Chen Xuan and Zhang Dongxuan's plan long ago.

All the elaborate schemes in the world were laughable childish tricks to her.

Zhang Dongxuan's heart sank. No wonder the other party stopped at the edge of Guyao Mountain. Xiao Chen seemed to be humiliating the other party in the illusion, but he still appeared calm.

It's even highly likely that the other party knew from the beginning that the Black and White True Monarch hadn't taken away Chen Xuan's fortune... It's only natural for the Lord of Qingqiu to keep an eye on the Qingnang Dojo.

Therefore, if there is any unusual activity at Guyao Mountain, the other party will rush over much faster than at the third ancient mountain and sea.

"Is it really that sensitive?" Chen Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement. Then, he began to recall the scene in his dream not long ago where he was constantly beating the other party, but he only recalled the images, focusing on the scene of being ravaged, without manifesting any sound.

"You little beast!" Bai Cao Zhenjun's face darkened, and he turned around sharply, giving him a fierce glare with his charming fox demon eyes.

"You can hear that?" Chen Xuan was greatly shocked. The other party could hear his thoughts even though he had no voice.

Although I had expected it, I am still deeply moved at this moment.

The Bai family's fox demon palm technique, "Listening to the Wind," possesses abilities far surpassing those of other wind-attribute True Lords.

The saying "What you keep in mind will surely come back to you" originated from the Wind Qi Path, and Bai Cao has clearly reached an even more terrifying level.

In fact, True Lords who are not known for their magical prowess may be even more dangerous.

"Have you been secretly eavesdropping on me for a year?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

Clearly, the other party has been keeping an eye on Qingnang Mountain, and their target is either Lao Zhang or him.

But more likely, both are her goals.

"Heh, what secrets do you still have? Without Xinzhai, there are far more people than you. I know far more secrets than you can imagine." Bai Cao paused, then smiled knowingly, "For example, who kidnapped the mourning doll?"

Chen Xuan and Zhang Dongxuan looked at her suddenly. Hua Liuli's Two Realms Market had not collected any information on this matter.

"You don't know?" True Monarch Baicao turned his head, suddenly finding it unbelievable.

"..." Chen Xuan shook his head.

“You two little guys, you don’t think all the True Lords are brainless mediocrities, do you? After Chen Xuan’s Heart Fasting erupted and burned out, those three unlucky True Lords perished, and immediately a Great True Lord set his sights on the escaped Mourning Clothes Doll. More than half a year ago, a near-Immortal successfully captured the Mourning Clothes Doll.” Bai Cao said.

This is a shocking and terrifying piece of news. Perhaps because the participants are of such a high level, the news will not circulate in the mortal world and few people know about it.

"Who did it?" Chen Xuan asked.

Reality is cruel and cold; the battle for immortality is in full swing, and any dangerous object that the True Lords cannot obtain will be destroyed by them.

"Thunderous roars, the sound of alchemy furnaces, the cries of swords, and so on, there are too many to count. In addition, the black and white of the underworld have been forced into the game. Some people's real target is it. It has almost been refined into a elixir of immortality."

Bai Cao chuckled softly, saying that although the Black and White True Lords were strong, they had lost their fasting of the heart, and thus, as a ready-made path to immortality, they were once again targeted... Apart from the path of seclusion, how could it dare to continue guarding Qingnang Mountain?
"Is the Black and White True Lord seriously injured?" Chen Xuan asked. The black kitten had brought news that Black and White had returned to the Lesser Underworld to recuperate.

"You still seem to care a lot about the Chosen One?" True Monarch Baicao smiled, scrutinizing Chen Xuan. Then, he coldly warned, "This is not a smart thing to do. You've finally managed to stay away from the turmoil of the Chosen One. You'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, no one can protect you."

The path of destiny is littered with corpses, and those around the chosen one will all die tragically—this is the law.

It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to accompany the chosen one to the end of the road.

Chen Xuan remained silent for a while, then pointed ahead and said, "We've caught up with it."

Ahead, the outline of the ancient mountain shrouded in black mist became increasingly clear. Zhang Dongxuan's Qingnang Technique, which even many True Monarchs couldn't keep up with, had now finally caught up after traversing countless miles.

“This aura…” Bai Cao frowned, as if he heard some kind of incredible wind sound.

At that very moment, a whooshing sound of wind echoed from the dark ancient mountains and seas: "Howl!"

Accompanied by a streak of dark, blazing divine light, a black phoenix burst forth, its size tens of thousands of feet, its flames blazing into the sky, exuding a strong ancient aura.

A black phoenix soared through the sky, its wings scattering countless black raindrops of light as it crashed directly into Chen Xuan and the others, blocking their pursuit.

"It's actually a phoenix?!" Everyone was surprised. This was a species from the mountains and seas. Even if its bloodline was not pure, it would still be at least at the level of the Mortal Realm after it came of age.

However, there are very few phoenixes left on the Five Directions Land, except for the Jiang family dynasty in Zhongzhou, which is said to still have a phoenix bird remaining.

But now, a phoenix has suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
With a whoosh, True Monarch Baicao made his move. Countless strands of wind energy intertwined in the vast void, and the black flame phoenix that had crashed into him was covered by the terrifying wind net before exploding with a loud bang.

"Whoosh!" The black wind howled miserably, struggling and screaming, trying to be reborn from the black flames, but it could not change its fate at all. In an instant, it shattered, its body and soul destroyed.

With a casual strike, Bai Cao caused a phoenix at the level of the mortal world to vanish into thin air.

From within that dark, ancient mountain and sea, angry roars echoed one after another, before the frantic escape continued.

All living beings know that it is rare for immortals to descend to earth, and true lords are the most powerful beings in the mortal world. Even though the wind qi among the twelve qi is not known for its fighting, at this moment, true lord Baicao has shown terrifying combat power at the true lord level, and she is the only one who is supreme.

Clearly, this suddenly appearing dark ancient mountain and sea is unwilling to make contact with True Lord White Grass.

"The Great Void is vast and boundless, but I, the Empress, have decided to take action. Where can you escape to?!" Bai Cao spoke. She could have chosen not to cooperate with Chen Xuan, but out of fear of the Mountain Ghost, she went along with it. She did indeed want to obtain the Supreme Fortune.

The auspicious golden road continued forward, with the White Grass True Lord displaying his divine power, leaving that dark ancient mountain and sea with nowhere to escape.

"Hmm?" Chen Xuan stood atop Guyao Mountain, his pupils suddenly contracting as he witnessed an unbelievable scene during the pursuit.

In the dark and desolate Taixu, a beam of light descended, its dense array of symbols outlining countless palaces, hazy and indistinct like smoke and mist.

It was as if a crack had appeared in the Great Ruins, and celestial light descended from the heavens, dispelling the darkness within.

Chen Xuan stared intently, deeply shocked by the scene. So much had happened in the world during the year he had been in seclusion!
The Taixu, corresponding to the five directions of the land, had long been sealed by the Celestial Palace, becoming a locked, pitch-black box? Or a chest? But now, a crack has appeared, and light from beyond the heavens is pouring in?
"So they are visitors from outer space." True Monarch Baicao murmured. No wonder a third fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas appeared out of nowhere in the Five Directions Land!
After all, even Qingqiu, which knows the most secrets in the world, does not know the origin of this ancient mountain and sea.

"Halt, everyone!"

In the dark ancient mountains and seas, a loud voice rang out, and a figure in a black phoenix robe could be vaguely seen standing on the mountain peak, staring at Chen Xuan, Bai Cao and the others.

When this humanoid being spoke, it was an obscure and ancient voice, like the cry of a phoenix, yet its meaning was understandable.

"Remnants of the Mountain and Sea Sect—" Bai Cao spoke coldly, his eyes filled with frost.

Chen Xuan also heard the ancient phoenix cry, realizing he had encountered a resurrected remnant of the Mountain and Sea Realm?! Moreover, compared to his Little Candle Dragon and Yu Tianzi's Little Azure Dragon, the other party had clearly resurrected to a certain level.

No wonder Phoenix Mountain, the legacy of the demon race, was leveled by the Ji family of the human race long ago, but now a black phoenix has suddenly appeared.

“This page of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the lost Danxue Mountain…” Bai Cao did not hesitate for a moment and immediately used the top-level wind-based killing technique.

She summoned a celestial zither, crystal clear like carved jade. As she plucked the strings, the Qi in the Great Void surged and transformed into countless divine swords, covering the fleeing black ancient mountains and seas.

Fengqi path cultivators are also known as sound officials in the human realm.

Beneath her fingertips, melodious music, imbued with boundless killing intent, reverberated across the vast sky.

"Roar!"

With a long howl, an even larger black phoenix spread its wings and emerged, its aura terrifyingly powerful. It unleashed a torrent of light and flame that could burn mountains and boil seas, accompanied by countless decaying ancient seal scripts, which clashed with the zither music that concealed deadly intent.

In an instant, the Taixu was shrouded in blood rain, and phoenix feathers flew everywhere.

"Bang!" Blood dripped from Bai Cao's fingertips as a string snapped. In front of him, the neck of a black phoenix, no less powerful than a True Monarch, was severed, revealing a smooth, mirror-like cut. The phoenix's head fell limply into the Taixu.

But in the end, they were stopped.

"When we return, all of you spirits will turn to ashes!"

The phoenix-feathered humanoid figure scanned Bai Cao, Chen Xuan, and the others, and roared angrily in a phoenix voice: "It won't be long before we have to wait."

The dark ancient mountains and seas passed through the cracks in the Great Ruins, and the cracks slowly closed, all the scenery disappeared, as if it had never existed.

The beheaded black phoenix also turned to ashes in the flames, leaving nothing behind.

As Chen Xuan looked up, he saw a huge, bloodshot eyeball appear in the gradually closing crack, staring at them with a sinister gaze. The eyeball moved once, a mocking smile on its face, and then disappeared in an instant.

One glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine, instilling a sense of dread that compels one to submit and kneel in worship.

This scene is incredibly oppressive and chilling, no less so than the scene when he saw Zhulong Tong up close at the Mountain and Sea Banquet.

"What is the current situation beyond the reach of the Celestial Palace? Was that a real mythical beast from the mountains and seas just now?" Chen Xuan pondered.

The fact that we couldn't get the third fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas was expected. How could someone who possesses such a treasure be an ordinary person?
At the same time, this unexpected change has given rise to a sense of vigilance. If the giant beasts of the mountains and seas return, everyone will be affected and will suffer.

“The appearance of cracks in the Great Ruins shows that the Immortal Palace is indeed corrupt and incompetent.” Bai Cao said softly, her eyes cold, but then a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes: “I’m about to become an immortal.”

As the remnants of the Mountain and Sea Sect gradually revived, many powerful forces were vaguely aware of it. This was one of the important reasons why many True Lords were determined to seek immortality at all costs.

Chen Xuan gazed at the gracefully curved back of True Lord Bai Cao, a smile playing on his lips.

Bai Cao turned around, flew to the edge of Guyao Mountain, hesitated for a moment, and finally, with a calm expression, stepped into Guyao Mountain.

"Give me the supreme creation for my perusal." She stretched out her palm and asked for it directly. Although she had not yet captured the third fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, she had done her best. Even if a near-immortal Great True Lord came here, he might not have done better than her.

Therefore, it is a very reasonable request to ask for cooperation compensation at this moment.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, took out a sealed piece of jade paper, and was about to place it in the palm of True Monarch Baicao.

Bai Cao was thrilled. She had obtained the supreme fortune and felt she had gained something. Next, she would find a way to deal with Yaochi, who had no support. The other foxes in Qingqiu were also unable to compete with her. Her path to immortality was clear.

In fact, she is the True Lord with the best chance of becoming an immortal in the world, because the Immortal Path of Wind Qi is simpler than other paths.

"Hmm?" Bai Cao Zhenjun looked up at Chen Xuan in confusion and said, "Give it to me."

"Of course I'll show it to you." Chen Xuan's arm was suspended in the air, holding the jade paper, but his fingers still didn't let go.

"let go."

"Bai Cao, your ears are too sharp. Nothing can be kept from you. I'm a little wary of you."

"Who in the world doesn't fear this lady?" Bai Cao replied. Even the near-immortal True Lord of Taiyin could not outwit her. Some True Lords of Immortal Qi are indeed good at fighting, but what use is it to only know how to fight? The people who die the most in the world are human sword cultivators and fighting demons.

“So I can’t let you go,” Chen Xuan said. “Huh?” In a daze, Bai Cao Zhenjun thought she had misheard, but she turned her head slightly and heard Chen Xuan’s command voice echoing in Zhang Dongxuan’s mind.

In an instant, the nascent Guyao Mountain trembled, and the earth veins that had regained their spirituality, under the manipulation of the Qingnang Fengshui Array, roared like golden dragons, transforming into a cage of heaven and earth that sealed the True Lord.

"Suppress!" Zhang Dongxuan's eyes were bloodshot as he rose into the air, unleashing his full power. This great formation, prepared by the Great Completion Qingnang Master over the past year, combined the power of Guyao Mountain. It might not be able to kill a True Monarch, but it was more than enough to seal him away for a time.

Bai Cao Zhenjun did not understand the significance of doing this, but she did not dodge it.

The True Lord's thoughts can traverse ten thousand miles, and Mount Guyao is vast and boundless. Even if she were to dodge with all her might, it would take her dozens of breaths to escape. However... there was no need to escape at all.

"Are you... insane?" Bai Cao Zhenjun asked, puzzled.

In an instant, countless golden chains rose into the sky, weaving a divine net that covered Bai Cao Zhenjun. She was as if she were wearing a golden silk fairy robe, firmly fixed in Gu Yao Mountain, unable to leave even for a moment.

That was a special magic array specifically designed to deal with her; her power was sealed within her body and temporarily dormant.

“I have been studying this Qingnang Formation for a year. Although I am not proficient in Qingnang techniques, I have found several solutions. It can be broken in a quarter of an hour at most... You can do nothing but anger me.”

Bai Cao Zhenjun stared at Chen Xuan with icy eyes and uttered a questioning tone.

"The truly important things we need to do cannot be told to anyone, nor can they even be thought about in our hearts."

Chen Xuan glanced at Zhang Dongxuan in the sky, who looked resolute in the face of death, then looked at Bai Cao Zhenjun opposite him and smiled, "Bai Cao Niangniang, we are now separated by only one foot..."

This is the first time in my cultivation that I have had such close contact with a True Lord-level figure.

Bai Cao frowned, his mind racing. In an instant, countless possible scenarios that might happen later flashed through his mind.

"Your goal isn't to unlock the Supreme Creation, but me?" she said slowly, realizing that Chen Xuan had waited a year before deciding to unlock the Supreme Creation, and things weren't that simple.

When the supreme creation begins, she will surely come.

Because Bai Cao is not a "laissez-faire" True Lord, but a "radical" True Lord who is determined to become an immortal, she will definitely come.

This is a conspiracy.

Just as Zhao Zhenjun, being the master of Qingqiu, would inevitably deal with Qingnang and Taixuan, Baicao is now not only the master of Qingqiu, but also one of the first Zhenjuns to gamble everything on seeking immortality.

She wanted to obtain the supreme creation, but if she traveled the world with only a wisp of her divine soul, she might not be able to defeat Zhang Dongxuan. Therefore, she could only descend in her true form.

However, once the true form descends and enters Guyao Mountain, it is imprisoned by the Qingnang magic array...

Bai Cao pondered, the key question is, even if Chen Xuan manages to imprison her, what can he do?
In a mere fifteen minutes, what could the other party do besides humiliate her, commit insubordination, and indulge in a momentary gratification?
He couldn't bear the consequences that would follow.

Although the opponent was a top genius of the Mountain and Sea Banquet with great potential, her cultivation level was too low. Even if she went all out, it would be difficult to even break through the skin of a True Monarch like her... In a quarter of an hour, Chen Xuan and Zhang Dongxuan could not kill her.

Moreover, methods like rebirth from a drop of blood and revival of a soul are far too simple for a True Monarch.

"Is there a True Lord hiding in Guyao Mountain?" Bai Cao scanned the surroundings, but did not sense any other True Lords.

Moreover, although she could not hear the commotion in Guyao Mountain, she had been paying attention to the Qingnang Dojo. Therefore, she knew that since Chen Xuan lost Xinzhai, he had not been in contact with the True Lord. So, it was impossible for a True Lord to enter Guyao Mountain.

"Keng!"

Chen Xuan remained expressionless, drew his True Lord Sword, and used the tip of the sword to lift Bai Cao's delicate chin, which was as sharp as a cone. He then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you guess again?"

"Impossible..." Bai Cao's pupils suddenly contracted, and an ominous thought rose in her mind.

Is Chen Xuan going to take action himself?
She gasped for breath, her face filled with astonishment, and said, "This is impossible! That old man Tai Xuan made you beg him, but you didn't agree at all!!!"

Xinzhai!

She realized something terrifying, but Xinzhai was destroyed and could not be rebuilt.

Moreover, Bai Cao knew that a great treasure had recently appeared in Yunmeng Daze. Rumors told her that it was related to the previous generation of Xinzhai, which attracted many people, including several chosen ones from Qingnang. However, Chen Xuan did not get involved in this matter at all!
“You’ve lost your mind,” Bai Cao said, shaking her head, trying to dispel this unrealistic idea.

There was once a saying that if one could bring the fasting of the mind to the presence of a superior cultivator, one might be able to reverse the damage.

At that moment, Chen Xuan's True Lord Sword was piercing her neck, and blood was seeping from the tip of the sword.

"It should be gone."

Chen Xuan squinted, but then added, "What if there is?"

Bai Cao Zhenjun's chest heaved, she bit her red lips, her mind racing, and finally said, "Boy, you're trying to fool me."

The remains of the eighth generation of Xinzhai are in the Great Swamp of Yunmeng Prefecture. Many True Lords of Yunmeng have studied them, including the Tai Xuan True Lord of Qingnang... She could probably guess the method of the old man Tai Xuan, but that was wishful thinking. If it were that simple, Xinzhai would have been everywhere in the world!
Most importantly, Chen Xuan ignored Tai Xuan. Could it be that he relied on himself to restore his inner peace?
Absolutely impossible! Could it be that even the most powerful beings in the world are less than a mere child?!
"I was just trying to scare you, but you cunning Lady White Grass, you're going to risk your life."

Chen Xuan said calmly, "You only have fifteen minutes to make this decision."

"You..." Bai Cao Zhenjun fell silent upon hearing this.

She was trapped in a cauldron, her fate shrouded in uncertainty, with a minuscule chance that she might die under the influence of the Heart-Cleansing Technique.

But time was passing, and she needed to make a decision.

At this moment, she was breaking down Zhang Dongxuan's Qingnang Formation, unraveling the mystery step by step, making rapid progress, but gradually, she stopped all her actions.

She gave up.

“I had a friendship with the Mountain Spirit when I was young. Back when Guyao was not yet depleted by Tai Xuan, I was a frequent visitor here.” Bai Cao slowly spoke, and said with a bitter smile, “You know in your heart that at most I will take your fortune, but I will not harm your life, and I don’t even mind protecting you along the way.”

This is not a fabrication. Several years ago, Gu Yao appeared in the world and had the opportunity to steal Chen Xuan's "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Gu Yao", but due to the Mountain Spirit, Emperor Jiang and other reasons, she did nothing at the time.

"so what?"

Chen Xuan sighed softly, "Bai Cao, but I wanted to harm you. Now that you've come, this is the result."

The wind blew gently across the land of Guyao, sounding like the mournful cries of ghosts, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

"..." The divine stone embryo stood in the distance, holding its breath, its eyes wide open, not daring to make a sound.

But her heart felt as if it had transformed from jade into flesh and blood, pounding wildly, and she had a premonition of what might happen next.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Bai Cao Zhenjun didn't hesitate for long before she uttered these words.

"Since the Heavenly Mandate Black and White True Lord is not here, you, the orthodox Demon True Lord, need to protect my path for a while," Chen Xuan declared succinctly.

"I can't leave Guyao Mountain anymore, is that right?" Bai Cao asked bitterly. Is this something that a protector should have to go through?
Clearly, the Qingnang Fengshui formation that had been placed on her would stay with her forever.

"It depends on your performance. If you obey orders, I might help you deal with the [Forbidden Land of Yaochi] in the future." Chen Xuan paused for a moment, his tone calm, and continued, "But first, that fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas from beyond the heavens, the [Danxue], flew away, so you need to compensate me for your [Qingqiu]."

"..." Bai Cao Zhenjun stared at the cold, dark sword edge and sighed softly.

Mountains and seas possess spirits, and Qingqiu is the source of her Great Dao lifeline, the special feature that sets her apart from other True Lords, and the reliance of the Qingqiu Lord, who is mostly a white fox.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Qingqiu" can suppress cultivators of the Qingqiu lineage. Not long ago, the will of Qingqiu was revived, and she agreed to cooperate with just a few words. If the fragments of Qingqiu are lost, the consequences will be severe.

Leaving aside other aspects, just considering whether the land of Qingqiu, which she ascended to godhood, can still be under her control is another matter entirely.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Chen Xuan sheathed his True Monarch Sword and extended his palm to Bai Cao.

You can cooperate with dangerous True Lords, but you must always take the lead.

……

……

Meanwhile, in the distant Yunmeng Marshland, a divine mountain descended upon the world, and a fiery divine lotus bloomed wildly in the sky, triggering a terrifying great battle.

"The Taiyi Forbidden Land has been breached! The Demon True Monarch is long gone! Charge!" The crowd roared, and shouts of battle filled the sky.

"What? You don't know where the great treasure that emerged from the Great Swamp is?"

"The information circulating within the Two Realms Market all says that you succeeded first!"

"Someone is spreading false information to frame you? Ridiculous! The celestial light of the treasure's birth was sensed by cultivators from beyond the realm!" A cultivator tore open the demon's body, extracted his soul, and quickly retrieved his memories.

In the distance, the Earth Goddess, wielding the Mysterious Maiden Sword, was radiant with grace. As she stepped into the depths of the Taiyi Forbidden Land, she was like a celestial maiden descending to earth. With a wave of her hand, all the mountains and valleys obeyed her command, guiding her on the way.

Behind them, a fire-based cultivator in a black robe, covered in blood, yet with unwavering determination in his dark eyes, seemed possessed by a powerful cultivator. He formed hand seals, conjuring a Heavenly Fire Lotus to confront his competitor.

Where are the remains of Xinzhai and the treasures of Yunmeng hidden?!

"The demon lord who remained in the Taiyi Forbidden Land foresaw his impending doom some time ago. The Water Virtue Rain Master Dao Lord killed him with a talisman and then suddenly left. He didn't have time to take all the treasures with him!"

"Dig 30,000 feet into the ground!"

"The demons of destiny have arrived too! Quick, capture them and refine them into pills!" Some powerful beings at the Transcendent Realm and the Limitless Realm, having discovered the hidden traces of the chosen ones, immediately took action: "You ghosts, how dare you show your faces everywhere!"

Various reasons have led to constant warfare, with battles raging endlessly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, in the far distance, a pillar of light shot into the sky, radiating brilliant light and accompanied by rising immortal mist and an aura of ancient immortals. It was clearly visible from thousands of miles away.

Another great treasure has been discovered?

"Where did so many treasures come from in Yunmeng Prefecture? Has the legendary Yunmeng Marsh been created?"

"Go!"

Amidst the chaotic crowd of cultivators, Hua Liuli and Xiao Hou exchanged bewildered glances. Holding the black kitten, she stared in disbelief and whispered, "Little Xiao, what's going on? Has a great treasure really appeared?"

“Xin Zhai’s remains are not here,” Xiao Hou murmured, then gazed into the distance and said, “Your Highness, shall we go and take a look?”

"Meow~" the black cat spoke, pointing into the distance, and whispered, "The warm, ethereal light is a power completely opposite to that of the underworld, making me uneasy."

"..."

In the Yunmeng Marshland, all sorts of astonishing phenomena appeared, and countless true and false messages drifted in all directions like snowflakes.

……

At the Goddess Temple on Guyao Mountain, the melodious sound of a zither drifts through the mountains like clear spring water.

"This is..." True Monarch Baicao stared intently at the jade paper in front of him, lost in thought for a long time.

She was dressed in white, her body covered in countless golden threads, and even her ten fluffy, snow-white fox tails emitted a faint golden light.

"Qingqiu knows all the secrets of the world. Don't tell me you don't know them either." Chen Xuan saw Bai Cao lost in thought and said with some displeasure, "If you dare to play tricks, I will not be lenient with you just because you are the True Lady."

Compared to Old Zhang, who was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, True Lord Baicao was more knowledgeable. After all, even the immortals probably didn't know as many secrets as Qingqiu Fox.

Bai Cao looked up at Chen Xuan and carefully chose her words, saying, "Those runes in the jade paper might be the prototype of some kind of [Supreme Dao Fruit]."

Legend has it that after a great cultivator passes away, the Dao they carried will return to heaven and earth. Some of these Daos will be reincarnated and become related to immortal beings and geniuses, while others will remain for future generations to comprehend.

"Dao Fruit? A kind of fruit, can you eat it?" Chen Xuan asked, holding the jade paper creation object up to the sunlight to examine it closely. Then, he made a swallowing gesture.

"Uh...more or less." Bai Cao Zhenjun put his hand to his forehead, unable to suppress a laugh, "but not this way of eating it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's face immediately turned cold, and he rebuked, "So, Bai Cao, you still want to harm me! This is the Dao Fruit of the Sage of the Dou Department, how can a person eat it?!"

Humans cannot even cultivate the true scriptures of the Doubu, so how can they be expected to inherit the Dao fruits of the ancient sages of the Doubu?

Brother Niu was forced to go into seclusion with Wei Zhenjun and has never been seen since!
