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

Chapter 6 Twelve Immortal Qi
"The ancient Chu State, also known as the Fire State, stretches for hundreds of millions of miles..."

Beside the bonfire, a group of people were chatting. The old man named Chu Huogun from Red Crow City was talking eloquently:

"Legend has it that within the ancient Chu Imperial Court, a fire-attributed mountain and sea beast, the [鸓鸟], was imprisoned. Its powerful fire energy had spread to this southern borderland..."

"This borderland is now under the jurisdiction of our Red Crow City... The Red Crow is the Fire Bird."

"With Chiya City as the boundary, the north is the territory of the ancient Chu State, and the mountains to the south are where those demons and ghosts rule."

"Mr. Chu is very knowledgeable and has broad experience. He really broadened my horizons."

Chen Xuan was greatly impressed and nodded frequently. At the same time, he glanced at the heavy snow outside the temple, silently trying to determine the truthfulness of the old man's words.

There seems to be some real stuff, but it doesn't seem like much.

According to Chu Huogun, their family of three came from the famous Red Crow City.

After walking along the remote path of Liu Town, we were heading towards Tao Town, which was uninhabited a hundred miles away.

Outside Tao Town are the endless mountains of the Southern Wilderness.

In addition to them, there were other people from Red Crow City who came here, but they took other routes. Those main roads were farther but relatively safer.

"This journey is extremely dangerous. The closer we get to the Southern Wilderness, the more fierce the people become."

"In the small town of Liu that I passed by the other day, there was actually a vicious warrior named Chen Xuan. Relying on his superior martial arts skills, he crippled his own master and even killed two disciples from Qinglu Mountain. He was like a villain sent from heaven, turning the world upside down..."

Chu Huogun ate wild boar meat and boasted about his experiences along the way: "Some say he fled south, but there's no one living a hundred miles south of Liuzhen, it's snowing heavily, and he was seriously injured. I'm afraid he died on the way."

Chen Xuan was stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect to hear his own story, and his face suddenly looked a little strange.

Chu Huogun didn't know much about Liu Zhen's affairs. He just heard passersby chatting as he passed by and remembered it in his heart. He told it as an anecdote, commented on it casually, and cursed a few words based on current affairs. Then he asked Chen Xuan, "By the way, little brother, our meeting is fate. I haven't asked for your name yet?

"..."

Chen Xuan blinked and said calmly, "...Wang Chan."

"The cicadas are aware of autumn before the wind blows. What a good name."

Chu Huogun pinched his goatee and commented, then said, "Brother Xiao Wang, do you know that Qinglu Mountain, the place Chen Xuan offended, is truly an extraordinary place..."

Chen Xuan immediately perked up and looked like he was listening attentively.

"Keep on drinking!"

Chu Huogun was very satisfied with Chen Xuan's support, and immediately reached out to the bright and beautiful girl next to him, asking for the wine gourd in her hand again.

The girl named Chu Qingling stared at him with her peach blossom eyes and refused to give it to him. She was worried that he would say something wrong, so she said, "Grandpa Firestick, you are drunk!"

Chu Huogun wasn't angry. He pointed at the girl and said cheerfully, "Girl, you're always worried that I'll get drunk and say something wrong, but the people from Qinglu Mountain aren't here."

Then he turned around and told Chen Xuan some rumors about Qinglu Mountain without any hesitation.

Qinglu Mountain.

It is one of the most famous forces near Chiya City. The disciples on the mountain are of all kinds, including warriors, Taoists, and even demons and ghosts.

He usually dominates one side and commits many evil deeds, but because his arrogance is too strong, even the official forces of Red Crow City are sometimes unable to do anything about him.

"Well, Junior Brother Wang Chan, you've been in cahoots with each other. Now you have one more reason to die."

Chen Xuan snorted in his heart when he heard this.

According to Chu Huogun, Chiya City and Qinglu Mountain are the two largest forces in the vicinity.

Among them, most of the Qi practitioners in Chiya City follow the orthodox path. They practice the virtue of fire [Chi Qi] and seek to "burn mountains and boil seas" and "eliminate the three thoughts of greed, anger and ignorance."

Most of the Qi practitioners in Qinglu Mountain practice the wood-attribute [Qing Qi].

Chen Xuan didn't know much about this, so he asked the old man frankly. Chu Huogun was surprised: "You don't even know this?"

Chen Xuan replied with nonsense: "Mr. Chu, you don't know that in the past, I was taught by a Taoist priest in the mountains and luckily embarked on the path of Qi training... I practiced in the wild in the mountains and swamps, practicing blindly, without understanding anything..."

Chu Huogun knew that it was not easy to practice cultivation in the mountains and marshes, so he did not hesitate to pick out some not-so-secret information and tell it to them.

Those who practice Qigong practice "Qi".

The Twelve Immortals of Mountains and Seas.

It refers to the immortal energy passed down from the Mountain and Sea Era. There are twelve most common types, each with different magical powers.

It is said that in the distant era of mountains and seas, the first ancient sage of the human race accidentally absorbed a wisp of immortal energy from the body of a dead mountain and sea beast, and thus ascended to heaven.

later.

Taotie, Nine-tailed Fox, Phoenix, Feiniu... one after another, strange beasts from the mountains and seas were slaughtered at the hands of the ancient sages who were gradually becoming stronger. Their immortal energy was taken away, and many of them perished as a result. The Age of Mountains and Seas came to an end.

then.

The era of immortals and ghosts running rampant and the exhaustion of Zixiao Qi practitioners has arrived.

"I see."

Chen Xuan nodded, which reminded him of the magnificent "Immortal Locking the Sun" painting on the dome of the sky.

Is the sun in the sky truly the eye of Zhulong, the ancient mountain god from the Shanhai Era? Is it truly imprisoned by some ancient immortal? This is simply horrifying.

As for the realm of the Qi practitioners, it is quite interesting.

The first state is called [Metamorphosis].

By practicing breathing techniques, the body can be reborn and undergo a qualitative change that is completely different from the original, and eventually a wisp of the original mountain and sea immortal qi can be cultivated in the body.

The three people in Chu Huogun's group are all at the Yuhua level.

It’s just that the old man passed away early in his youth and had already cultivated a trace of immortal energy.

The brother and sister had only been practicing Qi for a short time. This time they came to the Southern Wilderness in the hope of obtaining mature land treasure trees in the mountains during the Taotie Feast that took place once every twenty years, in order to achieve perfect immortality.

"In Chiya City, there are some talented people who practice Qi. After they become immortal, they consume natural treasures and their strength increases rapidly to a terrifying five or six thousand kilograms in a short period of time." Chu Huogun said.

Five or six thousand kilograms!

Chen Xuan was shocked when he heard this. This was too horrifying. If the human body could withstand the terrifying force of 6,000 kilograms, the bones, muscles, and skin must have become extremely tough, and it would be no problem to tear a tiger or leopard apart.

This kind of existence has already stood at the top of the pyramid of worldly power and is not afraid of any threat.

Chu Huogun looked at Chen Xuan for a few times, and suddenly asked doubtfully:

"Brother Xiao Wang, I see you have a very stable foundation, and a strong aptitude. You must have been born into a martial arts family... But why is your Qi and Blood only around a thousand pounds? Could it be that you practiced blindly and somehow reached the path of Immortality?"

He was a veteran of the Celestial Realm, with a keen eye. He saw something in Chen Xuan and was completely baffled. An ordinary person's Qi and blood couldn't possibly be as strong as Chen Xuan's. He was either a demon or a Celestial Realm practitioner.

However, if one has already achieved immortality but only has a strength of a thousand pounds, it means that one's aptitude is extremely poor and one is barely qualified to practice Qi.

Even if such a person becomes a Qi practitioner, he has no future and will be the lowest person in the future.

Usually, it is normal for a Qi cultivator to go through a complete process of transformation and have his Qi strength increase to about two thousand pounds.

If you can lift three or four thousand pounds, you have a certain talent. If you are lucky enough to reach five or six thousand pounds, you are a true genius. There are not many such influential people in the Red Crow City in an era.

Chu Huogun said with a look of regret, "Brother Xiao Wang, hey, you've reaped the fruits of your own labor. The road of Qi cultivation seems to have reached its end..."

Even the two younger generations in his family who had just started practicing Qi were inferior to him.

"..."

Chen Xuan opened his mouth and was about to speak when a bright and beautiful girl named Chu Qingling beside him suddenly complained loudly, "Grandpa Firestick, you're really drunk. Stop talking nonsense!"

After saying that, the girl quickly gave Chen Xuan a faint smile, her peach blossom eyes full of helplessness: "My grandfather is drunk, Brother Wang, don't listen to his nonsense."

When elders say these unpleasant words in front of others, even though they are not malicious and are speaking the truth, they are bound to be harsh and embarrassing.

Although this handsome young Qi practitioner in front of him has low strength and no future.

But even a "grassbag" Qigong practitioner has to save his face, and today he is going to offend people for no reason!
"..."

Chen Xuan actually didn't have any extra thoughts. He was quickly digesting the valuable information he had obtained, and at the same time, warning himself in his heart.

I have not yet embarked on the path to enlightenment.

But next, we have to be cautious.

Now, every breath he took was in line with the ancient Black Cat Breathing Technique, rejuvenating his body.

He had a premonition that in the next few days, or even tonight, he would successfully embark on the path to enlightenment.

It was just a chance encounter.

Soon, the wind and snow outside the temple gradually subsided, and the three members of the Chu family were about to leave.

"Brother Xiao Wang, Tao Town is ahead, close to the Southern Wilderness Mountains. The road is even more dangerous. You are not strong enough. If you don't want to go with us, it's best to stop here."

When Chu Huogun left, he kindly warned Chen Xuan.

Taozhen ahead has always been unstable and deserted in previous years.

Now, the situation is even more chaotic, with many Qi practitioners gathering here, and even some hidden demons and ghosts coming out from the mountains in the southern wilderness.

The Southern Wilderness Feast is held once every twenty years. The battles in the sky bring disaster to innocent people on earth. The barren land of Tao Town has long been unsuitable for mortals to survive.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chu, but I have other plans."

Chen Xuan shook his head and refused. He would soon become an immortal and would then fall into a deep sleep.

Although it can be seen that the three people from the Chu family do not seem to be bad people.

But when you are alone outside, you must be on guard against others. It is better to go to different sides of the road.

……

……

That night.

Chen Xuan ate up the remaining roasted wild boar meat and began to completely transform.

"brush!"

Countless glittering threads emerged from Chen Xuan's body one after another, dancing wildly in the air. The light fell on the snow, like the aurora flashing on the extremely cold ice field.

This light is dense and gorgeous, outlining a beautiful picture in the snow. Thousands of golden, silver, crimson... silk threads with flashing metallic luster are interwoven, finally outlining a flawless feathered fairy robe.

Wearing feathered clothes.

It is the immortal.

This feathered fairy robe contains twelve colors, with black being the majority, and covers Chen Xuan's body.

"call!"

Chen Xuan felt his entire body numb as he slept. The Feathered Immortal Clothes felt like thousands of gentle hands, cleansing his essence and marrow, reshaping his muscles and bones. It made him shiver, yet also felt warm.

With every shiver, the body undergoes a transformation, the mind becomes clearer, and the qi and blood surge, wave after wave, seemingly without end.

There is no doubt that he is undergoing a complete metamorphosis.

"call!"

The night was long. At a certain moment, Chen Xuan opened his eyes in vain, and between his breaths, he could faintly hear the roars of dragons and tigers.

He stood up from a puddle of melted snow, looked at a withered old tree as thick as a bowl beside him, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and then threw a powerful punch that was so powerful that it could be said to be earth-shattering.

"boom!"

The old tree broke and fell down with a loud bang, and snowflakes fell everywhere.

Although the old tree was already dead, Chen Xuan broke it with one punch. It was an extremely shocking scene. If an outsider saw it, he would probably be stunned and his jaw would drop.

"This punch has at least two thousand kilograms of force!"

Chen Xuan himself was also shocked. The blood and energy in his body were surging like a roaring river, and it seemed as if he had endless strength all over his body.

His strength has skyrocketed to twice that of that fat yellow man who was practicing Qigong!
"Mr. Chu said that ordinary Qi practitioners possess a strength of two thousand kilograms, but I have only just embarked on the path of immortality, and I am already on par with them."

Chen Xuan murmured to himself. He had enough faith and firmly believed that he was not a mediocre person, and this was verified again at this moment.

Moreover, when he swung his fist, he faintly felt an almost tangible energy flowing rapidly through his limbs and bones. It seemed to be the legendary [Immortal Qi]!
"Having set foot on the path to immortality, my strength will continue to experience a terrifying increase in the next few days."

Chen Xuan returned to the temple, put on his clothes, and murmured, "If I can continue to grow to 6,000 kilograms, I will be considered a rare Qi training genius within a thousand miles of Chiya City."

Thinking of this, he rushed into the darkness of the night.

The metamorphosis process consumed too much energy. In just one day, he almost ate an entire wild boar weighing nearly 200 kilograms, but it was still not enough!

food.

I need to eat a lot of food, and I feel so hungry in my stomach that I can hardly bear it!
