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

Chapter 371 The Great Torrent of History: No One Can Escape

Ji Youbing descended from the Taixu, and after speaking, Chen Xuan immediately returned the greeting with a cupped-fist salute and laughed, saying:
"The Grand Ceremony in Zhongzhou is hundreds of millions of miles away from Yunmeng Prefecture. Even traveling to Taixu by spirit would take ten days to half a month. Fellow Daoist Ji's appearance at this moment is truly unexpected."

During the Mountain and Sea Banquet, Ji Youbing received a powerful attack from Niu Ben. Only a wisp of his consciousness escaped into the Land of Ascension with his Golden Core. He was later guided away by the True Lord and his life was saved.

At this moment, Ji Youbing's eyes were complicated. Chen Xuan's advancement to the Divine Travel Realm was hardly a secret in the eyes of the related immortal sects and dojos.
Even without Xinzhai, he is still one of the most outstanding talents among the younger generation.

"I was ordered by the emperor more than two months ago to set off from Zhongzhou to come and offer my congratulations," he explained, adding that he had arrived in Yunmengzhou a few days ago.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded, then smiled and teased, "But you must have come specifically to visit Old Zhang; congratulating me was just something you did on the way."

Ji Youbing quickly cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "I came here specifically to offer my congratulations. Although I have other missions, those are disputes among elders and have little to do with me."

Behind them, Zhang Dongxuan appeared, making a welcoming gesture.

Chen Xuan and Ji Youbing exchanged a few more pleasantries. In the distance, a powerful sword aura emerged from the Taixu, manifesting in the air as a magnificent landscape. A dignified swordsman with thick eyebrows rode out on his sword.

"Wang Linyuan of the Tianhe Sword Sect congratulates you on your complete attainment of divine power and Dao... well, may you soon become a True Monarch!"

Wang Linyuan, an old acquaintance, arrived. Although he was steady and mature, he was a straightforward sword cultivator with little formal education. So he made no attempt to hide his feelings and offered his heartfelt congratulations.

"Congratulations to you too," Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

This exceptionally talented swordsman from Yunmeng Prefecture was among the last fifty attendees of the Mountain and Sea Banquet. He benefited greatly from the event and upon his return, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is now at the [Thorough Earth Realm] Divine Travel stage.

After the banquet, those who had the opportunity, including Chen Xuan, embarked on a path to great success.

Wang Linyuan chuckled softly and nodded, saying, "I can't compare to you, fellow Daoist. In just over a year, you've gone from the eighth level of the Cauldron Realm to a god, a testament to your accumulated knowledge and skills. You've truly been blessed with divine talent, which is the envy of all."

Chen Xuan's advancement speed was unbelievable; even Su Fuyao, the immortal seed from the north, was not as steady or as fast.

Moreover, the commotion caused by his advancement to the Divine Realm today was too great. Even though he forcibly restrained it at the first moment, the intense fluctuations of immortal energy still reverberated tens of thousands of miles away.

Even someone as dedicated to cultivation as Wang Linyuan was alarmed by this.

It should be noted that Chen Xuan did not issue any decrees from forces like Yaochi or Xiaolong Palace this time, but the fluctuations of immortal energy alone were so strong that even the Tao Hongchen people nearby were forced to sense them.

"Senior Wang, please come up the mountain for the banquet." Hua Liuli, holding the black cat, came over with a smile. Her wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, making her look like a dignified celestial maiden. She had a smug look on her face.

After Chen Xuan went into seclusion, she began to arrange all the details of the banquet.

The ascension of a direct descendant of the Qingnang lineage to godhood is an absolutely momentous event in Yunmeng Prefecture, and all the powerful forces and divine beings in Yunmeng Prefecture must come to offer their congratulations.

"Buzz!"

To the south, a five-colored divine light manifested, and a young man in brocade robes stepped out of the Great Ruins, arriving in a divine journey. He glanced at Hua Liuli, whose eyes were full of smiles, and then turned to Chen Xuan expressionlessly:
"Han Shuangjiang of the Five Elements Sect, on behalf of the Five Elements Sect, congratulates Fellow Daoist Chen, wishing you great success in attaining the Supreme Yang Immortal Dao, mastering the Nine Qi, cultivating myriad supernatural powers, and having your Dao govern Yunmeng and illuminate the universe!"

This young sect leader of the Five Elements Sect has also ascended to godhood and is now the deputy sect leader of the Five Elements Sect.

Han Shuangjiang felt a deep sense of melancholy. Two years ago, when the other party came to Yunmeng Prefecture, he was merely a newly promoted Cauldron, while he was a half-step into the Mortal Realm. The difference in their cultivation levels was vast, but in the blink of an eye, they had reached the same level.

"Fellow Daoist Han, congratulations!" Chen Xuan said with a smile. The other party was one of Hua Liuli's die-hard suitors. His character wasn't completely bad, and now he had become a god guarding a region.

Han Shuangjiang could only bow in acknowledgment, sighing inwardly.

He was a cultivator of multiple Qi, so even though Chen Xuan's divine power was currently restrained, many profound mysteries could still be discerned.

Chen Xuan simply stood in the void, yet it was as if a celestial being had been born, evolving into a small world where the nine heavens and ten earths rose and fell, exploring the extremes of heaven and earth and revealing all mysteries, with extraordinary sights.

Others could only faintly resonate with the Qi, but Han Shuangjiang's Five Elements Dao had been completely disordered, so he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

"I fear that even if I pursue this realm of immortality where the nine elements coexist, I will never be able to witness it."

Han Shuangjiang was filled with emotion, and then followed the young disciple of Qingnang who was leading the way up the mountain.

Reaching the mountainside, he couldn't help but glance back. The wandering spirits from all over Yunmeng Prefecture and surrounding regions had converged like rivers flowing into the sea, congratulating the one who had "possessed" the Glazed Fairy. He murmured to himself:

"The grandeur of the immortal sect and the majesty of the prodigies are unparalleled."

Although Qingnang is now just an empty shell, once a prodigy like Chen Xuan emerges, all the sects immediately come to pay homage and give it full respect.

Do not say that Qingnang has no true lords. After a thousand years of decline, the grandeur of today is something that even the Five Elements Sect, which is at its peak, cannot match even after another ten thousand years of development. It has not produced any immortals and ultimately lacks sufficient foundation to be considered a truly great power.

"I hate to be born in the same era and in the same place as such outstanding people..." Han Shuangjiang muttered to himself, but in his heart, he was also at peace.

What made him feel utterly powerless was that he vaguely sensed that the other party had not ascended to godhood through the Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body... presumably, they possessed something even more mysterious.

To the west, a golden auspicious cloud descended from the Great Ruins, and a plump middle-aged figure, carrying the auspicious earth element energy, arrived from the Central Plains.

"Haha, Jin Buhuan, the Earth Virtue Heavenly Official of Zhongzhou, has come to offer his congratulations on your breakthrough from seclusion. Today, the rosy clouds pierce the nine heavens, which is surely an auspicious sign of soaring to great heights. You should be a role model for us all!"

The Divine Gold Manager of Taixu has arrived. Since escaping from Shangyang Cave, he has been staying in Taixu near Yunmeng Prefecture. Recently, he has also secretly made several big deals in the Two Realms Market.

Chen Xuan's breakthrough and advancement caused such a great stir that even in the Taixu, he keenly sensed the rise of the Earth element in Yunmeng Prefecture, with all the mountains and ley lines cheering and paying homage.

"Manager Jin, you wouldn't really be thinking of switching your allegiance to Yunmeng Prefecture, would you?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

He heard that Manager Jin had recently "bought" a small hill outside Yunmeng City and moved one of his descendants there.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows," Manager Jin said in a low voice, his eyes darting around.
“The Earth element in Zhongzhou has been afflicted with ominous signs for the past two months. The Great Li Dynasty is likely to take some major action. That’s why I’m sending my descendants here to seek refuge.”

Nearly two years have passed since the Great War for Immortality began, and the situation on some paths of immortality is gradually becoming clear. In the Earth Virtue circle, some people speculate that the old emperor of the Great Li Dynasty is nearing the end of his lifespan and may be about to make a big move.

Regardless of success or failure, the Earth Immortal Path has returned to peace.

After the great battle, everything will inevitably need to be rebuilt. As everyone knows, Zhang Dongxuan of the Southern Region is the Qi cultivator on the Earth Virtue Road who is closest to the True Lord.

“The Great Ritual inherits the Dao of etiquette, morality, sacrifice, dragon veins, bedroom arts, etc., while the Green Bag is the Dao of feng shui, sacred mountains, formations, the Dao of the Mysterious Woman, etc. The Green Bag has always been a sacred place for us earth-element people to travel.”

Manager Jin spoke, and cautiously asked, "Does your path of cultivation inherit the most brilliant [Feng Shui] path of Qingnang?"

[Feng Shui] The path of Taoism originated from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and was later carried forward by the Qingnang Ancestor Huangshi Immortal Lord. The last person to achieve great success in this path was the renowned Tai Xuan Zhenjun.

As a feng shui master, he was very concerned about whether Chen Xuan, the direct descendant of the Qingnang School, would take over the feng shui path of Tai Xuan Zhenjun.

Chen Xuan did not respond to the path he had set, but laughed heartily and said, "Haha, fellow Daoist, you must be careful with your words, Ji Youbing is on the mountain right now."

"Ah? People from the Great Li Dynasty have arrived!" Manager Jin's face changed, and he turned black with fright.

As soon as he finished speaking, another spirit traveler arrived. This was an elderly spirit traveler from another state, who brought valuable gifts. Chen Xuan did not recognize him.

After the conversation, Chen Xuan learned that the other party's descendant had attended the Mountain and Sea Banquet and was almost killed by Little Kunpeng, but was saved by his intervention.

"Hua Hua, treat this senior well." Chen Xuan waved his hand and instructed Hua Liuli to entertain the guest.

Hua Liuli was always adept at these welcoming and sending-off affairs; she was the head steward of the entire Qingnang.

Soon, even the White Fox Goddess of Qingqiu brought Bai Jintong to offer her congratulations. The other party was a regular visitor to Qingnang. The younger generation of Qingnang and Qingqiu did not empathize with the hatred of the past.

At this moment, the land of Qingnang is filled with the presence of all the gods, who are gathered to celebrate this grand event.

"The sight of the hundred gods moving about in a single day will be recorded in the annals of Yunmeng Prefecture, and will still be known to future generations a million years from now."

Anyone connected to Chen Xuan or Qingnang arrived immediately.

Chen Xuan did not want to attract attention, but unfortunately, he was a person of noble status and special status. Once he ascended to godhood, the news spread and caused a great sensation.

As night fell, the Qingnang region gradually quieted down. All the forces that could come had come, and those that were too far away would probably come to visit in the coming days.

Chen Xuan finally found some free time and returned to the teahouse in the Two Realms Market.

"Chen Xuan!"

In the teahouse, Yan Yushu, dressed in a black dress, wore a look of joy mixed with disbelief.

Chen Xuan glanced at her sideways: "What's wrong?"

Yan Yushu scrutinized Chen Xuan for a moment before finally speaking:
"Congratulations on your spiritual journey."

As she spoke, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Back in the Chu Kingdom of Yaoguang Prefecture, she was a minor cultivator who had to find ways to avoid others when cultivating. Now, she had finally stepped into the ranks of advanced cultivators.

At this moment, Yan Yushu's tense nerves relaxed, and she said, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly... I thought you had been captured by the True Lords of the Yaochi Forbidden Land."

She hadn't sensed the aura of the mortal tribulation before and worriedly thought it was the Yaochi True Lord deity personally descending to the mortal realm to cause trouble for Chen Xuan.

"No, I am a direct descendant of the immortals, so breaking through the barriers and ascending to godhood should be this smooth and simple."

Chen Xuan replied with a smile. In fact, he was also somewhat baffled about the special ordeal he had encountered earlier.

I went in without really understanding what was going on, and then I got through the ordeal without really understanding what was going on.

Looking back now, perhaps it was because... my understanding of worldly tribulations was insufficient.

Will "Xin Zhai" usurp his place and, taking advantage of the tribulations of the mortal world, allow him to glimpse some of the real enemies and calamities ahead of time?

"Chen Xuan, may your path to immortality be smooth from now on, and may you shine as brightly as the sun and moon!" Yan Yushu raised her delicate, radiant face, as the melodious, lively celestial music from outside the market drifted in.

Her words of congratulations came from the bottom of her heart, but they contained a hint of sadness.

"Yan Yushu, the way you're saying it makes it sound like we're going to never see each other again," Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

“The direct descendants of immortals and the prodigies destined by fate are two intersecting lines that will only briefly come into contact and will not always run parallel,” Yan Yushu replied with a smile. “However, you are special, and Yushu will still come whenever you call.”

The direct descendants of the immortal sects have too much overlap with the chosen ones, which is ultimately more harmful than beneficial. Moreover, Chen Xuan belongs to the destroyed Heart Temple... This is a cruel, but unavoidable, reality.

Chen Xuan stared at her face after hearing her voice, and after a long while, said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me anytime."

During the "Crimson Dust Tribulation," he killed the evil spirit masked spirit that was suspected of harassing Yan Yushu.

But there's no need to mention such a trivial matter.

Otherwise, it will only increase potential risks.

"Hehe, Chen Xuan, you're becoming more and more like a legitimate disciple of the immortals, so righteous and awe-inspiring. Everyone hopes you'll be like this," Yan Yushu commented. People change, and Chen Xuan seems to change especially quickly.

Hmph! He's the biggest traitor!
“This way of cultivating is very convenient.” Chen Xuan nodded, but did not explain anything further.

Shortly after.

Chen Xuan entered Guyao Mountain and found Bai Cao Zhenjun playing the zither in the pavilion.

"Little fellow, you've ascended to godhood? Time really flies." Bai Cao Zhenjun's skirt spread out on the ground, her clothes adorned with golden array lines. Her beautiful face was flawless, and her beautiful eyes, like spring water, scrutinized Chen Xuan.

A few months ago, the other party was only at the ninth level of the cauldron.

But when they met again, he had already entered a state of spiritual travel. This kind of breakthrough speed, achieved through years of accumulated experience, left her quite impressed, as if time in Guyao flowed several times slower than in the outside world. "An enviable foundation in the mortal realm," Bai Cao commented. Although Chen Xuan's aura was completely concealed, not a trace of it was revealed, as a True Lord, she could see much more.

She seemed to see a primordial deity who had created the world standing before her, the wisps of blood and energy emanating from him resembling lurking dragons that pierced through the mortal world and broke through the Great Void.

Chen Xuan was dressed in white, his black hair flying, and his skin was as clear as nine-colored glass, containing unimaginable power.

Just how powerful is he right now?

Bai Cao felt that if he were to unleash his divine power, which was actually this immortal body, it would be enough to crush the mortal world and tear open the rift in the Great Ruins.

"When you ascended to godhood, did no Doubu Zhenjun come looking for trouble?" Bai Cao asked doubtfully, "Is my reputation really that effective?"

She knew that one of the purposes of being imprisoned by Chen Xuan was to use the name of Qingqiu to resist the malice of those Doubu demons.

However, the significance of Chen Xuan's ascension to godhood is astonishing. His Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body is extremely suitable for head-on combat and perfectly suited to the path of the Fighting Department.

Some of the Dou tribes are fierce and stubborn, and may not be willing to give Qingqiu face; they might even take risks.

But now, Chen Xuan's ascension to godhood feels so smooth it's almost unreal.

"No, it was probably the Six-Eared Ape who spread the news about me," Chen Xuan said, shaking his head.

He thought that since he had practiced the Qi of the Doubu, even if the immortals of the Doubu in the Immortal Palace could not become immortals due to the fasting of the heart, they would not reveal their immortal power, but the Doubu Demon Lord should still come to stop him.

After all, Chen Xuan poses no threat to the Immortal Palace now, but he is a real threat to the True Monarchs of the Fighting Department.

Because Chen Xuan possesses the qualities of a true ruler.

"That's strange. What went wrong?" Bai Cao frowned and muttered to himself. He had originally thought that he needed to step forward and persuade Doubu Yao Zhenjun to leave in his true form, but he didn't get the chance.

Could it be that someone else helped Chen Xuan?

Bai Cao gently stroked the strings with her slender jade fingers, lost in thought... But this is a very normal thing. Without Chen Xuan of the Xinzhai, there are many great people in the world who are not stingy in showing their goodwill.

After all, no one knows exactly how much goodwill the Qingnang Daoist Temple has accumulated in this world.

Suddenly, True Lord Baicao exclaimed in surprise, "That's not right! You've practiced the Mountain Spirit's Scripture. No wonder Mount Guyao didn't become your place to ascend to godhood!"

She was shocked. After losing Xinzhai, Chen Xuan could have taken the best path to heaven, but he chose the less powerful, winding path of the Mountain Ghost.

This behavior is so unwise!

"What's wrong?" Chen Xuan asked in a strange tone.

Bai Cao said solemnly, "The Mountain Spirit has no reason to pass on such a half-finished product to you. When I asked her for the Dharma in the past, she avoided talking about it, only saying that it was an incomplete Dharma and would not be passed on. She would not lie to me."

"It came from somewhere else," Chen Xuan said. The Empress's magic was not the intention of the Mountain Spirit Goddess.

“That’s a bad situation.” True Monarch Baicao said solemnly, “This method is for one person only. When you have a thought about it, she will probably sense it.”

Chen Xuan was not worried about the so-called "One Person Scripture". The true scripture, which had been refined by the Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body, could be isolated from the influence of the scripture. Moreover, he had already greatly modified the half-finished "Mountain Spirit Scripture", so it was no longer the same thing.

"How bad is it?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"She is a celestial being, a truly ruthless being of the Great Dao, who will steadfastly do what she believes is right, and all who obstruct her will be her enemies... Your comprehension and talent are too high."

Bai Cao began, her fingertips lightly touching the strings. She fell into deep thought, and after a moment, she said in a solemn tone:

"The most chaotic era of Immortal Fall may arrive ahead of schedule, and many people will make big moves in advance."

Chen Xuan stared at the Qingqiu Fox True Lord who knew the secrets of the world, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "The White Fox Goddess just asked about you, and I sent her away... Wait a while longer, and I will let you leave."

"cautious."

True Monarch Baicao covered his mouth and chuckled, then said, "In the past year or so, you've become a direct descendant of the immortals, able to do whatever you want, and everyone will tolerate it. Isn't this kind of life easy and enjoyable enough?"

The title of a legitimate lineage of immortals can ward off 99% of the malice in the world, and with the title of Qingqiu, it is even more secure.

Some lesser cultivators, taking advantage of this situation, recklessly grew stronger...

"Lady White Grass is indeed very happy, but not quite carefree. Thunder and rain all depend on divine grace." Chen Xuan stretched, causing the entire Guyao Mountain to shake as if the earth were trembling.

The sky and the earth change color.

Looking at Chen Xuan's imposing aura and heroic figure, which resembled a vast ocean, Bai Cao shook her head and sighed softly, "He was born with a rebellious nature."

"People must rely on themselves."

Chen Xuan whispered something and turned to leave.

Bai Cao Zhenjun stared at Chen Xuan's retreating figure and smiled gently: "Who says otherwise?"

……

Qingnang Mountain was brightly lit, a scene of dazzling lights.

The banquet was in full swing, and the scene was even more lively than the day the Qingnang was reopened.

"Another extraordinary cultivator has emerged from the Qingnang Dojo. Its resurgence is unstoppable," a cultivator remarked during the banquet.

In just a few years, Qingnang produced three Divine Travelers, each more legendary than the last, all of whom were exceptional figures capable of supporting an ancient Taoist temple.

"After the Great Battle for Immortality ends, several decades later, they will surely become newly promoted True Monarchs, and the Qingnang Dojo will once again stand among the top forces in the Southern Region."

The spirits talked to each other, all with expressions of respect.

Ancient Taoist temples may decline, but they will eventually rise again. However, Qingnang Temple has only been declining for a mere thousand years before it has been revitalized.

Chen Xuan was the main character of the banquet. Under Hua Liuli's arrangement, he received many spirit travelers with special identities and drank some immortal wine.

Late at night, the celebratory banquet finally came to an end.

Chen Xuan was deeply moved. He climbed to a high place and looked at the departing figures of the spirit travelers: "Is this what Su Fuyao, Yu Zhexian, and the others experience every day?"

It's truly a case of heaven and earth working together; everywhere you look, you see good people.

Not long after, Zhang Dongxuan summoned Chen Xuan and Hua Liuli.

"The old Emperor Zhenjun, with great ceremony, cordially invites all Zhenjun from across the land to discuss important matters concerning the path to immortality." In the main hall, Zhang Dongxuan held up an invitation card and handed it to Chen Xuan.

This is an invitation brought by Ji Youbing.

"A storm is brewing." Chen Xuan finished reading the invitation and handed it to Hua Liuli.

Hua Liuli held the gilded invitation card, her expression gradually becoming serious. She commented, "The Great Li Dynasty has gone mad. This is defying the world."

Nowadays, the True Lords of the Five Directions mostly hide themselves.

But now, the old emperor of the Great Li Dynasty wants to invite all the true rulers of the world to gather in the Central Plains to discuss matters. This is truly terrifying.

"Either the Dali Ji family submits to the Immortal Palace and steps in to mediate the war, or the old Emperor Dali wants to take a desperate gamble and rebel against the Immortal Palace to become an immortal."

On the road to Tude, all was desolate. Everyone knew that the only rival of the Da Li Ji family was the Immortal Palace.

Recently, some rumors have begun to circulate in the world that some True Lords believe their hopes are slim and may give up on competing for immortality, choosing instead to continue submitting to the Immortal Palace.

"Will the True Lords give the Great Li Dynasty this face?" Hua Liuli asked.

The Great Li Dynasty is powerful. Several True Lords have fallen in recent years, but there are still six Earth Virtue True Lords... However, those near-immortal Great True Lords may not care.

"We don't have the face for a grand gift, but we do have the bloodline of the Ji family," Chen Xuan said.

There are many ancient traditions among the human race, but only six have the most special and transcendent status.

The Southern Region [Little Azure Heaven], and the Five Emperors' lineage in the Central Plains.

Although the Southern Region's [Minor Underworld] holds an equal status and the Qingnang (a type of alchemy) is not much different, ultimately, the four supreme beings, including the Sage Empress Houtu and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, are probably not human, but rather deities who have converted to the celestial and terrestrial realms.

Therefore, the Great Rites Dynasty, with the legacy left by the Yellow Emperor, proclaims to the world that many human True Lords will surely respond.

"The virtue of earth is profound and carries all things. Cultivators of this path are mostly concerned about the world and have compassion for all people. In the past two years, the world has been filled with suffering and too many people have died."

Zhang Dongxuan, with his hands behind his back and a solemn expression, said:

"The old emperor, Dali, wants to... end this chaotic world ahead of schedule."

This was unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.

Only the Great Li Dynasty among the human race has the reason and the qualification to do this.

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, "There is no True Lord of Qingnang, but the Great Ceremony Dynasty specially sent Crown Prince Ji to deliver an invitation... Who will go to the appointment?"

He strongly suspected that the reason Da Li sent this invitation was because of Old Zhang, who was on the verge of death.

Many people thought Old Zhang was going to die, but he knew Old Zhang's true condition better than anyone else...

But Chen Xuan is very tight-lipped. He won't say a word about anything of great significance until the truth comes out, and he won't even deliberately think about it.

Zhang Dongxuan's gaze fell on Chen Xuan.

The invitation has arrived, and a response is necessary.

“Alright, I’ll go.” Chen Xuan nodded. Zhang Dongxuan was definitely going to stay in Qingnang to “fulfill his filial duties,” so it was up to him to go to the dragon’s den and tiger’s lair.

The next day, as dawn broke.

Chen Xuan then set off, using the teleportation array in the Two Realms Market to travel to the center of the Five Directions Land—Zhongzhou.

The wind is surging.

The great era has arrived.

The gaze of the entire Five Directions began to converge on the Central Plains, landing on the territory of the Great Li Dynasty.

"All the conflicts that have accumulated in the mortal world over the past few years will completely erupt in the Great Li Dynasty." Chen Xuan had a strong premonition, and subconsciously touched his eyes.

His hard-won year or so was peaceful, but an even more unpredictable torrent of fate quietly enveloped the entire land.

The true lord of the mortal world, the celestial palace in the heavens... the aftermath of the Mountain and Sea Banquet, extraterrestrial beings, and the evil spirits of destiny... everything will soon be revealed.

Chen Xuan is a high-level cultivator in Tao Hongchen.

They have already earned the right to stand on the chessboard.
