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

Chapter 395 Dying in the Light of the Gods
Chen Xuan looked back and his eyes widened in surprise. The immortal Yu Zhe Xian had actually entered the celestial palace.

"Taoist! Quickly refine the Ten Thousand Worlds Venerable!" he immediately shouted from afar.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of the Imperial Immortal at this moment indicates that he has come on behalf of Xiao Qingtian to oppose the Immortal Palace.

"Alas!" Yu Zhexian sighed, performed a casual Taoist bow, and then looked calmly at Wan Shizun opposite him.

In ancient times, the Pure Yang Immortal Lord departed from the Ascension Platform of the Immortal Palace, but his return to the Pure Yang Heaven of the Five Directions Earth is still connected to the Immortal Palace. The Imperial Immortal has long been paying attention to matters concerning the Immortal Palace.

"Wow!"

However, as soon as Chunyang Tianyi connected to this area, its aura immediately dropped, the entrance was forced to close, and it disappeared into the Taixu.

However, various colors of lightning, such as gold, purple, and cyan, flowed down from Yu Zhe Xian's body, as if a thunder god had descended.

"Nanmian, are you going to stop me?" Wan Shizun asked coldly.

"Emperor Tian, ​​as long as I live, all my contemporaries will be overshadowed."

The immortal's sleeves fluttered slightly as he chuckled softly, "The so-called Heavenly Way is nothing more than a minor path."

His eyes were filled with dazzling lightning, and a golden bolt of lightning danced from his fingertips, transforming into countless lightning spirits, with a faint aura of supreme power spreading outwards.

The Root Ancestor of the Thunder Department —

The Four Imperial Longevity Methods!
"The Immortal Yu has actually cultivated thunder magic as a supplement?" Chen Xuan's heart stirred. The other party has even learned the Four Immortal Longevity Technique, which had long since disappeared from the mortal world?!
This is incomprehensible to anyone.

Because there is no clear distinction between superior and inferior supreme techniques, what is the use of learning so many? In the early stages, when it comes to a real battle between one supreme technique and two supreme techniques, because their power is so great, there is actually not much difference.

Moreover, the time and energy that Nanmian spent learning the Supreme Law was enough to raise his own realm by several levels!
However, it seems that the story of how Yu Zhe Xian was promoted to the Cauldron Realm and then caused trouble by the Little Dragon Palace was not as simple as people had heard.

“Little Qingtian dares to refine the Supreme Heavenly Mandate of Ten Thousand Generations, which means he not only possesses many Heavenly Mandate Weapons… Little Qingtian is indeed the most professional at refining immortal pills,” Chen Xuan thought to himself.

“Immortal Yu, you may not have mastered all of my thunder magic.” Di Tian spoke, even Nan Mian could not stop him now.

"Seventy or eighty percent is enough," Yu Zhexian replied with a smile. He also had the Heavenly Weapon, and these methods were the simplest way to deal with Wan Shizun.

When Wan Shizun was born more than ten years ago, he was instructed by his master to begin practicing thunder magic.

He has learned almost all the thunder magic techniques still available in the world. Although he is not proficient in high-level techniques, it is enough to deal with the Divine Travel Realm.

While Yu Zhe Xian cannot disregard the difference in cultivation level to deal with superior cultivators like Wan Shi Zun Di Tian, ​​nor can he control demons and evil spirits regardless of their cultivation level like Xin Zhai Chen Xuan, he fears no one if they are of the same cultivation level.

This is the highest mountain of the righteous lineage in the mortal youth generation!
While the differences between immortal seed prodigies are not significant in the early stages, there are actually differences in their levels. For example, an immortal seed casually created by Immortal Lord Zhenyuan Yuheng is clearly not on the same level as the Imperial Immortal who was born because his pure yang energy was not manifest...

Some immortal beings have a vague and uncertain path to supreme power, while others have a considerable degree of feasibility.

"boom!"

Without further words, golden lightning shook the sky, and the battle between the two top geniuses erupted with a thunderous roar.

Because the Mountain Demoness, leading Chen Xuan, was moving away at an extremely fast speed and had completely left this area.

"Pure Yang... This Human Emperor has given the mortal world too many opportunities. He deserves to die a thousand deaths!" Xiang Liu Wanye Immortal Lord roared in anger upon seeing this. Faced with the sudden change, this Taiyin Immortal, who should have been able to calculate everything in the world, did not react as calmly as the other immortals.

"All industries—"

In the distance, the demon immortal Huo Li spoke coldly: "You are already an immortal, so don't show any fear. We have lived long enough, so let's be at ease."

In the mortal world, all the major powers are in an uproar, and now, Xiao Qingtian, who has never been involved in any disputes since ancient times, has wielded a fatal blow against the Immortal Palace, directly attacking it!
Immortal Lord Xiangliu suddenly turned his gaze to the side, staring coldly at the Demon Immortal Huoli.

"Old man, don't forget how you ancient immortals ascended to the Immortal Palace! The five directions of the land are preserved because of the Chief, and you all attained immortality because of the Chief's favor—if anything goes wrong, you will all perish!"

Without a doubt, none of the Golden Core Immortals in the Celestial Palace are loyal, not even Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord, who is currently going to pacify the mortal world... He has no choice but to go, because once the Ji Emperor of the mortal world and Tai Xuan become immortals, he will fall because of this.

Only he, a celestial being by destiny, stood completely on the side of the gods.

"Oh? So I'm not planning to live today?"

The Demon Immortal Huo Li sneered, then said, "The era of immortals and ghosts has been prolonged by the Chief for nearly a million years... but it's time to end it."

He emphasized the word "continue".

"If the princess succeeds, the worst that can happen is that we will all be wiped out... If she fails, I will take their heads and condemn them to eternal damnation!"

The fact that the Mountain and Sea Banquet was held nine times in a row suggests that something unexpected may have happened to the nine ancient supreme beings, and some of them may even have perished.

How similar this situation is to the end of the era of the gods and spirits of mountains and seas?

……

at the same time.

High above, within the Candle Dragon Sun, bound by thousands of chains, divine light of various colors surged forth from all directions, and indistinct figures overlooked the desolate land of the Five Directions.

"The Ji family, what insidious methods they employ." A sneer rang out, as someone looked in a certain direction.

“My family has also made a move, finally willing to exhaust the resources of the mountain sect and use the treasures left behind by the Mountain and Sea Banquet.”

"A person who can't give up anything can't accomplish anything."

"But the Immortal in the Tomb of the Ancestral Land of the Divine Spirit Heaven is truly extraordinary." Just one Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord alone has quelled the chaos of the myriad paths in the mortal world. Although he is gradually showing signs of decline, in the end, to have achieved this level is still too terrifying.

No matter how powerful a corrupt ancient immortal is, it is impossible for him to suppress the entire mortal world alone... Emperor Ji and Tai Xuan are lower-level cultivators who are suppressed by the Earth Virtue Immortal. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to defeat the Earth Virtue Immortal, but others are not subject to the control of the same Qi.

However, there are four or five other immortals in the Immortal Palace who are similar to Zhenyuan Immortal Lord, but have not yet made their appearance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the sudden ascension of the Empress to immortality and her subsequent attack on the Immortal Palace through fasting and purification is truly unexpected," someone remarked.

"Ha, gods becoming immortals? They're courting death."

Someone said coldly, "The Immortal Palace is strict, but the Immortal Palace is without fault... How dare the gods and deities become immortals? The Immortal Palace recently pursued the Mountain Demon, which was a righteous and important matter that no one could find fault with."

The Nine Yang God, who lived 100,000 years ago, was allowed to ascend to immortality through a "reverse ascension" so that he would eventually die...

At this moment, although many people are taking advantage of the Mountain Spirit's ascension to immortality and attack on the Immortal Palace, once this matter is over, the Mountain Spirit Goddess will immediately become the enemy of all living beings again.

"Gentlemen, can consuming a Celestial Life Pill of Immortal Rank truly grant one the extraordinary path to becoming a Supreme Being?" After a long while, a sinister voice rang out.

"Perhaps it won't work."

A voice laughed, "But if the gods are wise... then I hope the Empress's wish will be fulfilled."

……

"I don't have much time..."

Inside the celestial palace, Chen Xuan was pondering the words spoken by the Mountain Demon Goddess not long ago when he suddenly saw a bright light rising in front of him.

Dozens of glowing papers, like fireflies with broken threads, floated out and reached the deepest part!
Furthermore, terrifying auras of immortal power rose up in front of them, as if a single wisp of their aura could level mountains and suppress seas, and cleave the sun, moon, and stars.

The gods are wise!
How much influence does the Heavenly Mandate of the Eternal Venerable have on another Supreme Heavenly Mandate? Chen Xuan had no time to discern. At this moment, his blood and qi were surging, and even opening his eyes felt difficult. He could only barely sense the fluctuations of immortal power, which were as boundless as a vast ocean...

"Whoosh!" The fire in the furnace, invisible to everyone except Chen Xuan, took it upon itself to escape, and the leaping sparks actually sizzled and burned the surrounding oppressive aura.

At this moment, the furnace is directly interfering with reality? This abnormal behavior undoubtedly indicates that it has sensed a truly deadly crisis.

"Walk."

The Empress glanced at the scorching flames but said nothing, ignoring Chen Xuan and continuing onward.

"Your Majesty, do you really intend to destroy the Immortal Palace Master?" Chen Xuan asked, not doubting the Empress's abilities.

Because if the other side dares to attack the Celestial Palace, they must have an equal force to resist. They may not be stronger than the Celestial Palace, but they certainly aren't far behind...

“There are reasons why this must be done. With the opening of the Mountain and Sea Banquet, something big is bound to happen in the world beyond. [Shenlingming] will likely get involved and get bogged down. If we wait until he has freed his hands and his attention is once again focused on the Five Directions, it will be too late.” The Empress replied, her voice gentle.

"So powerful? They even know that I can freely activate my Heart Fasting Technique?" Chen Xuan asked, originally thinking that only the Empress would know about this.

"Its destiny is too strong. This five-sided land is a stage it has built, and all cultivators are its pawns, their actions all stemming from its will..."

"It is like a supreme god, manipulating everything from behind the scenes."

As the empress's skirt swept across the ground, it began to leave faint dark patterns. She turned around and smiled, "Shenlingming, it seems you are about to successfully open a new path for cultivating Qi and become the first supreme being since ancient times."

Chen Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this. Many authentic scriptures and techniques in the world had undergone inexplicable changes, becoming unlike those of the past. This was probably not due to the Immortal in the Tomb secretly modifying them. Rather, a brand-new law of Qi cultivation was being born, and all methods and paths were being forced to adapt to that direction on their own.

"This..." He took a deep breath, then felt a chill run down his spine: "What about the Empress?"

“All living beings are its pawns, without exception,” the goddess said. “But before he attained enlightenment, I had already taken some precautions.”

The Empress is a celestial being born in ancient times. Although she is untouched by the mortal world and seeks the Dao alone, she will not put herself in danger.

Chen Xuan was relieved and was about to ask what method it was when he suddenly saw the scene in the fog ahead appear.

"We've arrived?" The Empress stopped, her brow furrowing slightly. In her current state, she could no longer see the actual scene ahead.

But in reality, even the immortals of the Celestial Palace, when they were at their strongest, might not be able to see or find the place where the deity Ming slumbers.

"Yes." Chen Xuan nodded, his gaze piercing through the fog of confusion.

His Heart Fasting Technique originally possessed the power to see the truth, and not long ago, it received a significant boost after striking Xiangliu Immortal Lord. Now, when he used it, the scene in front of him immediately came into view.

"Wow!"

A towering, chaotic lotus, suspended above the void, was entirely crystalline. Its petals seemed to have been covered in frost and snow for millions of years, and as it lay half-closed, a radiant light emanated from its core.

It was a majestic figure sitting cross-legged on a lotus, with his back to all living beings.

The blurred outline exudes a faint, flowing aura of destiny.

Even with a pure heart, one can't see much of the scenery clearly.

"Not the real body?!" Chen Xuan's pupils shrank. The figure lacked the vitality that a living being should have, and seemed to be just a remnant.

“If the deity were truly here, we would not have come,” the goddess said.

Chen Xuan then realized that even with the blessing of the Empress's dark immortal power, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to kill a Heavenly Immortal... If Xinzhai wanted to rebel against the superior cultivator, the simplest way would be to start with his clone!
However, the immortals were not stupid. When they broke into the immortal palace earlier, the Dragon Shadow Demon Immortal and the Mysterious Female Bull Demon dared to appear in their divine soul forms, but the Calamity Demon Immortal and the Xiangliu Immortal Lord who were actually blocking the way all appeared in their true forms.

"Break its destiny first." The Empress spoke, and the scroll in her palm emitted a dark glow, as if it could devour everything.

The Empress was unlike anyone else; she had unwavering faith in Chen Xuan, convinced that he could control the fate of the world, even if what she was about to face was a supreme destiny of an immortal.

You should know that this is something that anyone would consider a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

After all, although Xinzhai is wicked, his supreme destiny is not wrong in the slightest. Even if we want to compete, we should wait until Xinzhai becomes an immortal... But the Empress has confidence in Chen Xuan.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan made his move, activating the first level of his spiritual practice. He stared intently at the figure on the lotus, his consciousness following the faint aura of destiny, tracing its origin.

All of a sudden.

The world turned upside down, and he stepped into a mysterious, destiny-bound space.

"Wow!"

He steadied his mind, first lowered his head, and gazed at his hands. His spirit and body followed, and the dormant immortal energy within his body began to circulate again, fully restoring his realm.

Without a doubt, this world is completely unrelated to the celestial palaces outside.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan was very cautious, looking around. Beneath his feet was a huge floating jade platform, covered with intricate Dao patterns, like a natural training ground. In the distant void, there were no fewer than three thousand similar floating jade platforms.

Each one was shrouded in a faint, mystical aura, as if it contained a world similar to the Five Directions Earth.

Chen Xuan looked up and saw a chaotic lotus floating in the sky, seemingly carrying a powerful, godlike will. Countless orbs of Daoist light danced around the lotus, and with each pulsation of the orbs, thousands of jade tablets made of mutton fat jade floated out from between the lotus petals and landed on the jade platform.

A jade slip landed in front of Chen Xuan, unfolding automatically. A cold, mechanical voice emanated from the text, carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"Your destiny begins, your storyline unfolds. Please choose the first world you are born into—"

"In the ancestral land of the Dao at the end of the Immortal and Ghost Era, there are still the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Generations, the Yin-Yang Couple, the Lord of Two Realms, the Supreme God of the Dao... In the pursuit of the supreme path to the otherworld, there are still those who intercept destiny, question time, enact the Black Law, and 'Do Not Speak of Me'..."

"Please select your identity."

"Remember, those who walk the path of destiny must conceal their true identity, or they will be eliminated."

"..."

Chen Xuan stared at the jade slip. The next moment, he heard that godlike mechanical voice come to an abrupt end, followed by another cold and grand voice.

"External evils—"

In an instant, all the immortal energy within Chen Xuan's body issued warnings, and all the treasures that had entered the area cried out in anguish, but it was all too late.

Before the Heavenly Qi and the Longevity Qi could even begin to circulate, that irresistible, overwhelming will had already awakened and descended like the sky collapsing.

Has the divine spirit and consciousness of Shenling Ming descended upon the Heavenly Fate Space?

Or is this how they dealt with the previous Shinzai?!

"puff!"

Everything was reduced to ashes.

Chen Xuan's conscious body, which had appeared there, was swept away by a gust of wind, turning into countless specks of light and vanishing into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Only an endless chill slowly spread through the empty space of destiny.

"Gan!"
