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

Chapter 359 Old Acquaintances in Yunmeng Marsh

The dilapidated black ship sailed on the water as if emerging from the void, towering like a mountain, heading towards Chen Xuan.

The ship's surface was covered in scales, from which countless wisps of black air poured out, flowing into the vast swamp like ink that couldn't dissolve, carrying a putrid stench. Beneath the ship, infants cried and laughed, a chilling and terrifying sight.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan emerged from the water and stood on the vast marsh, his sleeves fluttering like an immortal. His expression was solemn as he gazed at the enormous black ship in the distance.

Qingqiu Canye felt familiar with the black ship, but in fact, Chen Xuan also felt a faint sense of familiarity, as if he had some special connection with the black ship.

"Wow!"

At this moment, the Taiyin Qi suddenly issued a warning, reminding him that someone nearby was spying on him through special means, and the Tianyan Qi was even more agitated, immediately reflecting the true face of the spy before his eyes.

"Three eyes?" Chen Xuan saw the scene hundreds of miles away: on the black ship, a three-eyed creature with a glowing forehead was spying on what was happening here.

The other person appeared to be quite young, with an exceptionally handsome face, a height of nearly two meters, a slender figure, and an aura of faint divine power emanating from him, leading one to suspect that he was some kind of ancient god-like being with the bloodline of ancient gods flowing through his veins.

These creatures are not demons in the usual sense.

On the five continents, only in those few naturally formed forbidden lands of gods do a small number of ancient god-like beings remain.

"Hmm?" On the large ship, alarm bells suddenly rang in the three-eyed youth's mind, the bright light in his horizontal pupil between his eyebrows went out, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

His vision was not only blocked by the Yin Qi, preventing him from seeing the scene clearly across hundreds of miles, but he even suspected that he was being locked onto by some unknown force.

"Your Highness, how is the situation?" A three-eyed old woman with white hair as white as frost asked from behind him.

She was very anxious because someone in their family had died in this area, and the other person was very likely the murderer.

“This is no ordinary Yin Qi.” The three-eyed youth known as “Ming Zun” responded in his mind, saying, “The last breath of the Wenqu Star Envoy disappeared in this area… Let’s wait for this person to board the ship first.”

The God of Literature?

Through the Heavenly Qi, Chen Xuan heard the other party's thoughts and suspected that the Wenqu Star Envoy that the other party mentioned had disappeared was the three-eyed creature that the Black and White True Lord had casually taken from the Taixu and killed.

"The Wenquxing Envoy suddenly encountered an accident and did not return. However, according to the old news that was sent back earlier, the Moon Goddess and other pioneers should have boarded the 'Dragon Hall Ship' first and gone to Yunmeng Marsh to visit their ancestors," Mingzun said.

Ten days ago, when the Taiyi Forbidden Land was breached, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a large black ship, supported by images of infants and corpses, emerged from the hazy immortal abode, taking away a large group of Qi cultivators searching for treasure.

When the ship suddenly appears in front of you, there is no way to avoid it; you can only follow the ship away.

“Unexpectedly, the River God Immortal’s Dragon Hall Ship has reappeared… Is this an omen? Is the glorious era belonging to the gods and deities about to return?” The three-eyed old woman said excitedly, her eyes filled with fervor.

Chen Xuan only waited in place for a short while before the large black ship arrived in front of him. It was very fast, like a phantom, appearing and disappearing in the mist, constantly shuttling back and forth.

"Wow!"

Immediately afterwards, a blood-stained rope was thrown down from the boat, clearly an invitation for Chen Xuan to board.

Chen Xuan stared intently at the blood-red rope, then expressionlessly shifted his gaze and chose to ascend into the air.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Unless there is a powerful figure of True Monarch level hiding on the ship, other dangers are really not a threat to Chen Xuan at present.

However, if a powerful True Lord wanted to deal with him, apart from the "insidious" ones like the Taiyin Dao and Yushi Dao, other True Lords of Immortal Qi would only be straightforward and wouldn't bother with any schemes or tricks.

After Chen Xuan boarded the large ship, he found that there were already dozens of figures on board, all of them lost in thought.

Most people, like him, used methods similar to Yin Qi to conceal their true identities... Of course, such methods are usually not very effective and cannot prevent deliberate investigations by those with ulterior motives.

A few, however, revealed their true forms, such as a yellow-haired, white-faced six-eared ape with eyes like torches and protruding fangs, giving off an impression that strangers should stay away.

These people generally cultivate highly aggressive immortal qi such as Doubu and Huode, which is upright and honorable. Secondly, these qi practitioners are indeed very strong, so they don't need to hide their identities when they go out.

“Nine out of ten are Taixu Gods who have tasted blood on the front lines.” Chen Xuan glanced around and immediately discerned some of the details of the creatures on the ship.

Suddenly, a wealthy and imposing earth spirit cautiously approached him.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, something’s not right with this Dragon Hall ship. We are of the same lineage as the Unearthed Virtue Righteousness Sect, so it would be best if we banded together for mutual support.” Shenyou said in a low voice.

Undoubtedly, not long ago, Chen Xuan's battle against Ao Guanglong God revealed a lot of information. Many people had already recognized the person cultivating in this area as Chen Xuan of Qingnang through clues.

"Who are you?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Fellow Daoist, you may call me Manager Jin." The plump Shenyou immediately introduced himself concisely.

This is a geomancer from Zhongzhou, a kind-hearted and portly man. Lacking a powerful background, he could only settle for becoming a deity of the Taixu, exploring its endless mysteries and searching for resources.

Not long ago, he heard that a great treasure had appeared in Yunmeng Prefecture in the Southern Region, so he immediately rushed from Taixu to join in the fun.

But half an hour ago, he encountered this large black ship by chance. He did not want to board the ship, but he was entangled by a strange force and could not get away. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and board the ship.

"This is the Dragon Hall Boat of Yunmeng Marsh, originating from the ancient River God. It can guide outsiders into Yunmeng Marsh, but this boat has long since disappeared. The last time it appeared was 100,000 years ago," Manager Jin said in a low voice.

Those who practice the Earth element and cultivate Qi enjoy exploring the world, seeking out hidden places and ancient sites, and doing business in various places. As a result, they know many strange tales and legends from different regions.

The phantom images of infants beneath the dragon boat are said to be offerings thrown down by ancient people to worship the River God and pray for favorable weather.

"River God...True Lord?" Chen Xuan asked in confusion. In the conversation between the three-eyed beings earlier, they clearly referred to him as a Celestial Lord.

"The River God of ancient times, along with the Mountain Goddess of the Southern Wilderness today, should be considered a True Lord-level deity," Manager Jin said carefully.

Once a deity reaches adulthood, they are considered to have reached the level of divine travel. The mountain spirits and river gods who reside in Yunmengze are not unknown figures; they were once great deities who ruled over a region. There are many myths and legends about them in ancient history.

Chen Xuan pondered that in many myths and legends, the River God and the Mountain Spirit were both low-ranking deities of the Yunmeng Marsh and indeed could not reach the level of immortals.

However, the Mountain Spirit still walks in the world, but the River God has not appeared for many tens of thousands of years.

"Could it be that the River God left the Celestial Palace area and became an immortal outside?" Chen Xuan thought to himself. The mythological records in ancient history often conflicted, which was puzzling.

Manager Jin was very enthusiastic towards Chen Xuan and shared everything he knew. He probably regarded Chen Xuan, who had lost Xinzhai, as one of the future leaders on the Tude Road, and therefore exchanged information without any reservations.

The two realm masters of Heaven's Mandate are unlikely to become the hope of the Earth Virtue, while Chen Xuan, who has now fallen to the status of an "orthodox cultivator," is clearly more qualified.

"Recently, many powerful players have disappeared in this area, and it turns out that this ancient ship is the culprit."

Manager Jin sighed, "I knew a very famous Taixu God, a white tiger demon god at the pinnacle of power, who was one of the main forces attacking the Taiyi Forbidden Land, but now there is no news of him."

Chen Xuan knew that the only cultivators who would dare to take the opportunity to challenge the ancient Dao lineages were the lawless chosen ones and the unrestrained Taixu Gods.

After all, a legitimate Qi practitioner with a background would not usually do something so rebellious with serious consequences.

Chen Xuan looked in other directions on the ship and found a thin, emaciated old man with white hair in a corner. Beside him was a green gourd bigger than a person, and a beautiful woman's face was peeking out of the gourd's mouth.

At that moment, two faces, wearing strange smiles, stared at him intently.

Chen Xuan was surprised. Where did this strange old man come from? The beautiful woman who emerged from the gourd had a neck as long as a snake. She stuck out her sharp tongue at Chen Xuan, creating an incongruous allure.

He realized that the gods of Taixu were very distinctive, each one looking like a ghost.

“That’s his Daoist partner,” Manager Jin noticed the scene and secretly informed him.

They were actually Daoist couples, an old man paired with a beautiful young woman? Chen Xuan's expression was strange, because the beautiful woman was seducing him, a handsome young man, while having an affair, behaving as if no one else was around, and was very bold.

"Heh..." The old man sneered, picked up the gourd beauty in his palm, stood up and walked into the dark cabin, disappearing from sight.

What does that mean? Chen Xuan was stunned.

Only after the old man disappeared did Manager Jin dare to continue speaking: "Fellow Daoist, that old man is the famous alchemist of Taixu, a Taixu God with a celestial seed who is nearly three hundred years old!"

Chen Xuan was taken aback when he heard the voice. There were actually wild immortal seeds in the world?

Manager Jin quickly explained that the alchemist was not a wild man, but a direct descendant of an ancient Daoist temple. However, because the temple could not provide him with a blessed land of sufficient level, he ultimately chose the unknown Taixu Road.

"That gourd-shaped beauty Daoist companion was nurtured by the alchemist to ascend to godhood," he whispered, revealing a secret.

"This..." Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh. The world is so vast and full of wonders. There really are people who have nurtured extraordinary things by relying on the scattered fragments of relics in Taixu.

It's just that its appearance is so strange that it's unbearable to look at.

"Wow!"

The large black ship continued its journey through the misty water, as if roaming the heavens and earth, constantly guiding those with affinity. Soon, many more people boarded the ship.

"Oh, the desolate Xinzhai, the incompetent immortal seed, the fierce and unruly Doubu, is there a hidden Chosen One here...?" A group of Taixu Gods with a decaying aura like the Black Abyss boarded the ship, their eyes unrestrained as they scanned the situation on board.

"The God-Hunter Organization." Manager Jin trembled slightly, feeling fear towards the group of ferocious Taixu Gods.

Chen Xuan was puzzled. Such emotions as panic were not commonly seen in Shenyou. After all, every Shenyou had once been a proud figure in a region and possessed a natural pride.

"They are different," Manager Jin secretly told him. This was a notorious organization that frequently hunted lone wandering spirits in the Taixu, robbing them of opportunities for creation.

The Hunter God Organization was the main force that stormed into the Taiyi Forbidden Land, but the previous batch of Taixu Gods from the Hunter God Organization had disappeared. This current batch must have come to check the situation.

"Bang!"

In the distance, the yellow-haired, white-faced six-eared ape, its eyes filled with displeasure, slammed down its bronze cudgel, issuing a strong warning to Taixu God of the Hunter God Organization.

This ape god came in search of Little Six Ears, who had been abducted by the Six Desires Heaven. It was a legitimate Doubu ape, and although its aura was fierce and violent, it was clearly distinct from most of the Taixu wanderers here.

But the Taixu Gods of the God-Hunting Organization were not afraid. On the contrary, some of them whispered and mocked, "That Qingnang disciple who lost his Xinzhai has been cultivating Doubu Qi nearby recently. He is obviously announcing to the world that he is going to cultivate Doubu... Doubu monkeys dare not stop him. It's hilarious."

"Ha, Xinzhai is a hero. He knows that cultivating Doubu Qi will bring many troubles, so he left Qingnang Mountain. But does he still have anything to rely on?"

"The Doubu Demon is just an ordinary person, merely a name, which has been excessively demonized by many people," one person commented.

However, he was unaware that the Six-Eared Ape had sensed the aura of Qingqiu, nor did he know that the current Immortal Seed, Little Six-Eared, was a plaything of the Six Desires Heaven... In any case, Little Six-Eared's lineage of apes could not possibly be targeting Chen Xuan.

"No matter how fierce the monkeys are, can they be fiercer than us?" You Taixu God sneered and shook his head.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan knew that although the fearsome reputations of the Doubu demons and human sword cultivators were great, they could not frighten the Taixu gods who had no ties or entanglements.

"There are many madmen in Taixu," he thought to himself.

Chen Xuan once encountered a group of powerful Taixu Gods. Those people knew that Tianyandao was the Holy Maiden of the Mending Heaven Daoist Temple, but they still refined her on the spot. Moreover, they never took the True Monarch-level Mending Heaven Daoist Master seriously.

In another corner, Mingzun and a group of three-eyed beings looked at each other, bewildered.

The longer they stayed on the large black ship, the more information they learned, and the more astonished and suspicious they became.

His Highness Mingzun transmitted his voice, saying, "I felt that person was not simple just now, and I was right. He was the legendary Xinzhai, but he is no longer here."

The three-eyed old woman glanced at it and said, "Without the foundation of the Great Dao, no matter how outstanding one is, it's all just so-so."

A faint light flickered in her horizontal pupils between her brows. Like the others, she scrutinized Chen Xuan, who was boarding the ship, for a few moments, and then paid little attention: "The reason for the disappearance of the Wenquxing Envoy has nothing to do with him. He is just a mere cauldron and does not have that kind of power."

“Third Elder, this person has been involved with something like Xinzhai, and he was able to keep his life even after losing it. He should not be underestimated,” Mingzun said cautiously.

It should be noted that Xinzhai has a far-reaching influence. Most True Lords may not care, but there are always some True Lords who do not mind eliminating the root of the problem. The fact that Chen Xuan is still alive today is a testament to his extraordinary nature.

The three-eyed old woman frowned, scrutinized Chen Xuan from afar a few more times, and finally said, "His appearance is indeed extraordinary. He is probably the kind of mortal who can rival immortal beings. He has a great future, but in the end, he is just a furnace for now."

She didn't lie or belittle the other person with arrogance; she believed the other person did indeed possess a divine appearance. However, she still felt there was no need to pay too much attention, after all, the people on this large black ship were all extraordinary.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was being watched by many eyes. Through the Heavenly Qi, he could even clearly perceive the opinions of the people around him.

But he didn't care, because such things are all too common nowadays.

After all, he was a world-renowned "figure of fame," having once slain three True Lords with his sword, enjoying unparalleled prominence. In fact, Chen Xuan's use of Taiyin Qi to conceal his aura during this trip was solely for the sake of peace and quiet, as he did not wish to be disturbed by casual visitors.

The Taiyin Qi concealed his aura; otherwise, if Ao Guanglong Shen knew that Chen Xuan was cultivating nearby, he would definitely be restless and unable to eat or sleep. Perhaps after much deliberation, he would choose to abandon the demons of Zhuque Mountain who had the idea of ​​dying together with him and turn around to flee back to the East Sea.

……

Meanwhile, in an unknown land, the sky was bright and clear.

"Everyone, I feel that those golden-eyed figures in the mist seem familiar," Hua Liuli said to Yan Yushu, Xuanmao, and their companions.

Among those golden-eyed figures wandering and lingering in the thick fog, many of them exuded the aura of immortal beings, which was clearly abnormal.

In the mortal world, no force can gather a large number of immortal seeds, not even the Little Dragon Palace, which exclusively embodies the Dao of Thunder.

Moreover, the other figures who did not exude the aura of immortals were also emanating terrifying auras in other aspects, which were extremely frightening.

“It’s not just immortal beings; there are double-digit numbers of True Monarchs among these people.” Yao Chenzi floated out from Xiao Hou’s Xuan Ring, his voice filled with fear.

This unknown force, having only revealed a fraction of its power, has already surpassed the strongest Dragon Palace in the mortal world.

In fact, they were not attacked. The unknown enemies simply drove them away and surrounded them, then left a path leading to Shangyang Cave.

At this moment, even more Qi practitioners seeking opportunities are being driven in from all directions.

"Gentlemen, we need to save ourselves; we can no longer sit idly by and wait for our demise." A top-tier Divine Traveler in the Qi Cultivator group spoke slowly. The distant cave dwellings were unreachable, because they needed to create their own variables.

"How can we save ourselves?" Someone asked gravely in a low voice, "There are too many immortal beings and true lords around us. There's no way out."

"..."

Behind him, Xiao Hou's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a blurry figure flash by in the surging fog. Immediately, he stared blankly at Hua Liuli.

"Am I seeing things? Hua Xuan Nu, I seem to see... Senior Zhang from Qing Nang?" Xiao Hou said in a bewildered tone.

Hua Liuli's expression was solemn because she had also seen that fleeting figure, wearing a standard robe in the style of a blue cloak.

"So that's how it is..." she murmured to herself. No wonder she had a vague sense of familiarity with it!

"Everyone has been deceived by it," Liu Yutian sneered. "Xinzhai truly deserves to die."

Her past worries about Chen Xuan were now vividly and brutally revealed before her eyes.

……

The large black ship did not travel for long in the swamp before coming to a stop.

"Have we arrived at our destination?" Manager Jin looked worried, yet also subtly excited.

Chen Xuan scanned the surroundings. This body of water was not far from his place of seclusion. He could reach it in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea by using the Qingnang Technique.

Furthermore, when he first used the Qingnang Technique to survey the surroundings, he had passed through this area, but found nothing.

"Is the sudden appearance of the Dragon Hall Boat a coincidence, or is it related to the breach of the Taiyi Forbidden Land?" Chen Xuan wondered.

The sudden appearance of the Dragon Hall Ship, which hasn't appeared in the world for at least 100,000 years, inevitably raises many questions.

"Wow!"

At that very moment, soft sunlight suddenly scattered across the sky, like scattered gold dust falling on the surface of a vast marsh. In the hazy light, an ancient celestial abode appeared and disappeared.

"Are we approaching Yunmengze?" Taixu asked with burning eyes on the ship, for a lost treasure land was about to unfold before them.

In Yunmeng Prefecture, practitioners of Qi often salvage ancient artifacts from the waters of the Great Swamp. With the help of earth-element feng shui masters, they steal some treasures from the Yunmeng Swamp. Now, they are about to truly set foot on that mythical land.

"Wow!"

The black ship set sail once more, as if passing through a transparent curtain of light, entering an unknown land.

Chen Xuan was able to sense this change. This scene was very similar to the situation when he used Xinzhai to directly cross the boundary and smuggle into Shanhai Banquet.

soon.

A mountain range appeared in the distance, shrouded in a thick fog with extremely low visibility, but everyone realized that it was a large landmass.

"We've arrived at the mythical land brimming with countless opportunities!" a Shenyou exclaimed excitedly. The Great Swamp region occupies the entire central part of Yunmeng Prefecture, spanning millions of miles. It's impossible for the black ship to reach the land so quickly, even with the help of the Taixu.

Without a doubt, this is the legendary Yunmeng Marsh.

The large black ship docked, its sails adorned with blood-black ropes pointing towards the emerging land, as if guiding Chen Xuan and his companions.

"The status of Yunmengze is unapproachable, no less than that of the Ancient Mountains and Seas. The pressure of True Monarchs and Immortal Palaces cannot cover this area!" Taixu God said excitedly. This place might be a treasure land for the rise of True Monarchs.

Almost no one hesitated; everyone immediately left the treasure ship, determined to explore this mysterious, mythical land!

Chen Xuan also disembarked, and Manager Jin followed closely behind. He immediately used his feng shui skills to sense the earth's veins with his toes and measure the width of the sky and earth.

"This land isn't as wide as I imagined." Manager Jin suddenly looked surprised and asked Chen Xuan in confusion, "Is this Yunmeng Marsh? Did my feng shui technique go wrong?"

Of all the feng shui techniques in the world, the Qingnang technique is the most supreme. He wanted Chen Xuan to use the Qingnang technique to assess the situation.

Ahead, the Taixu Gods of the Hunter God Organization discovered the secret.

"The boss and the others have indeed entered Yunmengze!" The leader exclaimed with delight as he discovered the Hunter God Organization's exclusive mark on the ground.

But just then, a violent voice rang out softly from behind them.

"Hey, you guys, turn around," the Six-Eared Ape called to them.

Several Taixu gods from the Hunter God organization turned around in an instant, their pupils shrinking. A rusty black gold bronze rod appeared infinitely large in their eyes, pointing straight up to the sky. Then, with a loud bang, it crashed down like a pillar of heaven collapsing.

The heavens and earth trembled.

Blood mist burst forth, and the Taixu God at the very front instantly turned into a pool of flesh beneath the staff.

"Just how fierce are you desperate Taixu Gods? Now, I want to see." Six-Eared Ape Ear grinned maliciously. He tilted his head, picked at his pointed ear with his little finger, and glanced at the Hunter God Organization in front of him with his pair of unruly, dark green eyes.

Because of some trivial quarrel, the moment the black ship docked, Doubu Yao suddenly sprang into action, launching a life-or-death battle all by himself.

"Arrogant!" Beneath the bronze rod, from within the fleshy pulp, a fragmented soul floated out, transforming into a human form, staring with lingering fear at the suddenly leaping six-eared ape.

As expected, a battle of divine consciousness has inevitably broken out.

"..." Chen Xuan's lips twitched when he saw this scene, but since it was none of his business, he ignored it and quickly used the Qingnang Technique to investigate the situation.

He also had a premonition that this was not the legendary Yunmengze.

Soon, Chen Xuan set off towards the area where the earth veins were most concentrated. Manager Jin felt extremely uneasy and immediately followed him shamelessly.

"You really want to come with me on this adventure?" Chen Xuan was taken aback. This chubby shopkeeper was very brave. If he really wanted to go with him, he would be a burden, but if something happened, he might not be able to save him.

"You've lost your mind again, what am I afraid of?" Manager Jin felt he was very resilient and continued, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you have become the only top-level chosen one of heaven on our Earth Virtue Feng Shui path!!"

Everyone knows that following those plague-like chosen ones is a sure way to die.

But Xinzhai will only be more dangerous.

Some cultivators who live a peaceful and blessed life lose their lives easily, just because they team up with a jinx-like protagonist to take a risk, as if their souls have been bewitched by these important figures.

"You..." Chen Xuan's eyes twitched involuntarily; he really had no reason to refute it.

After losing Xinzhai, some people seem to drift apart, but on the contrary, many strangers will become closer because of it.

"Fellow Daoist's Qingnang Technique is truly divine and has already reached its peak." Manager Jin kept praising along the way. He saw various miraculous places, such as a deep valley where black immortal light would occasionally fly out, making it impossible to look away.

He concluded that many powerful beings must have died there, probably in a mass grave-like place, so Chen Xuan avoided those areas altogether.

"It's still far from the big city." Chen Xuan said casually, "The underground there is all decaying and fake ley lines. It's not a place with treasures. On the contrary, it's a place where a white python steals a dragon's nest. Going there will only lead to danger and you'll end up with nothing."

【Mysterious Wind and Spiritual Water Hidden True Chapter - Green Bag Secret Essentials】It doesn't have much combat power, but in terms of its exquisiteness, it is definitely not inferior to any immortal inheritance. In fact, its complexity and vastness far exceed that of immortal techniques of the same level by many times.

"The Emperor's Rest Tree from the Mountain and Sea Era!" Suddenly, Manager Jin's eyes lit up as he pointed to a towering tree in the distance. On the tree's canopy, a being that appeared to be at the Immortal level was curiously observing them.

Legend has it that ancient immortals loved to dwell on the Emperor's Rest Tree.

"Just look at it and that's all; it's an illusion," Chen Xuan said with a smile, reminding Manager Jin not to be greedy. That towering tree was only meant to be admired from afar, not approached.

Manager Jin immediately withdrew his gaze. He was also using feng shui techniques and vaguely sensed a faint sense of crisis, but now that Chen Xuan had spoken, he immediately reaffirmed his thoughts.

After all, in the high-level circle of Earth De Feng Shui masters, many people speculated that the two realm lords of the Southern Region were just a facade, that the chosen ones never had a good end, and that the one who truly inherited the Qingnang Dao lineage was actually Chen Xuan.

Furthermore, it is a great thing that Chen Xuan has lost his Xin Zhai (a type of meditation practice). Now that he is a legitimate cultivator, he is even more qualified to carry the banner of honor for the Earth Virtue.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Xuan saw a mountain in the distance, with peaks and ridges overlapping. The mountain was surrounded by celestial energy, and auspicious clouds would rise from it from time to time, making it seem very sacred.

"The underground dragon veins in this area are indeed full of vitality and emotional fluctuations!" Manager Jin exclaimed. Although the earth veins still inevitably carried traces of death energy, they were much more normal than other places nearby. There was a high chance that rare spiritual items were hidden here.

He was very excited. In such a short time, less than half an hour, he had successfully found a treasure that was hard for ordinary people to see?

The direct descendant of the Qingnang lineage truly lives up to its reputation!
Manager Jin looked emotional. He had no intention of sharing the treasure. He followed Chen Xuan for two reasons: first, for safety, and second, for other feng shui masters, being able to explore the mysteries with the direct line of Qingnang was an incredible stroke of luck that would broaden their horizons.

Everyone knows that Qingnang Mountain is the highest peak of the Feng Shui lineage. As long as they don't foolishly do anything against the heavens, everyone will appease the Qingnang disciples.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan mobilized the solar energy to observe the specific scene in the mountains from a distance. There was a large white-gold boulder with a misty aura, its surface as smooth as a mirror, resembling a celestial stone from which an immortal attained enlightenment. All the auspicious clouds emanated from it.

"How could this be..." Chen Xuan suddenly withdrew his gaze, because he discovered that this large boulder already had an owner?!

Behind the rock, a thick fog rolled in, and a tall, imposing figure appeared and disappeared. Then, a pair of golden eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying gaze locked onto Chen Xuan's location.

In an instant, the Heavenly Qi within Chen Xuan's body trembled wildly, sensing an impending crisis.

At the same time, the Qi of Longevity was boiling, almost bursting forth with the power to shun the world and prolong life!

"Buzz!"

A faint aura of a True Monarch of the Doubu level, mixed with the supreme and noble power of the Immortal Seed, rose from the mountain, blotting out the sky and making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"This..." Manager Jin was so shocked that his face turned pale and his legs trembled. He turned to look at Chen Xuan with a look of wanting to cry, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you haven't lost your Heart Fast, have you?"

He was terrified. He had only been following Chen Xuan for a short time, and now he was facing such a sudden and shocking accident that he was about to lose his life!

On a single exploration, I encountered an unknown, powerful being? What terrible luck!

Aside from suspecting that Chen Xuan still harbored the Heart-Gathering Cult, Manager Jin couldn't find any other reasonable explanation for the moment. This was far more dangerous than staying by the side of the Chosen One!

"A Celestial Seed? True Lord Doubu? It's actually him?!"

Chen Xuan was surprised. The figure protecting the precious tree was unexpected; it turned out to be an old acquaintance he had met before!

"boom!"

The burly figure within the thick fog seemed to be startled by Chen Xuan. He gradually became clearer in the fog, his face contorted with rage. In an instant, a massive True Monarch Dharma Image rose from the ground, as if it were about to pierce the sky.

At the same time, a domineering fist imprint, as massive as a divine mountain, descended from the clouds and fiercely slammed towards Chen Xuan.

"Clang!" Chen Xuan tensed up, and in an instant, he summoned the Mirror of Destiny of the Immortal in the Mirror. The Supreme Will of Heaven, accompanied by golden lightning, burst forth.

The mirror's oppressive force, which asserts equality for all beings, descends instantly, expanding outwards to its limit.
