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

Chapter 83 Meeting
Less than a month after the fall of Peach Blossom Spring, the huge war machine of the ancient Chu State had already begun to move at a rapid speed.

The Jiang family of the Chu State and the aristocratic families and sects under its rule are not only targeting the Southern Wilderness, but also the hostile demon country of Rain, which is based on the water virtue and black qi.

"The battle between water and fire."

Chen Xuan sighed in his heart. When a great being who practiced the One Person Sutra grows old, billions of living beings will be affected by it, and there is no way to avoid it.

"The Fire Emperor's cultivation level is not enough to become an immortal."

Based on the little information he had gained from the Yellow Millet Dream, Chen Xuan pondered, "Time is running out for the Jiang family of Chu."

The Jiang family of Chu shares the same fate with the country, and there is only one way to go... Before the Fire Emperor dies, he must quell the huge threats from external forces such as the Rain Kingdom and the Southern Wilderness.

If they lose the battle, all the Fire Virtue cultivators will be demoted, and the Chu State and the Jiang Family will decline together.

If they win, Emperor Jiang will be immortalized, and then he can peacefully enter Shangyang Cave to await death, and the world will be at peace.

But millennial families and clans like the Qinghe Cui clan had different aspirations. If the Chu state fell, the Jiang clan would surely perish, and they had more options for retreat. They might not approve of the Jiang family taking such a huge risk... The safest and most reliable option for Emperor Jiang was to do nothing and simply enter Shangyang Cave Heaven to await his death.

The State of Chu belonged to the Jiang family, but not to them.

"They say that Emperor Jiang's descendants are useless, but I think they are very decisive and tough in their actions."

Chen Xuan admired in his heart that the Jiang family took ruthless measures and made their attitude clear. They cleared all hidden dangers along the way and pressed forward towards the Southern Wilderness.

This extremely violent behavior sends a clear signal.

The Jiang family must have started a war, and has already started it... They don't want Nanhuang to open Shangyang Cave Heaven in advance, they need enough time.

Chen Xuan speculated: "By bringing the Shangyang Immortal's relics into Taixu, is the Mountain Ghost Lady actually helping the Fire Emperor? That's impossible. Ghosts hate humans the most."

Moreover, in Huangliang's dream, the State of Chu eventually declined and lingered on.

A few days later, Zi Lin'er, the snake demon from the Rain Country, left from the Little Stone Lake.

Before she left, she told Chen Xuan that a large number of monsters from the Rain Country had sneaked into the Southern Wilderness Mountains, and she would meet up with them... Among them were people of extremely high status from the Rain Country, and the King of Southern Wilderness Mountains would agree to meet them.

The southern wilderness is vast and boundless with endless mountains. Its area is much larger than that of the State of Chu, and it borders dozens of ancient countries.

To the north is the State of Chu, and on both sides of the State of Chu are the State of Rain, which is controlled by demonic dragons and snakes, and the State of Zhi, which is controlled by the spirits of plants and trees.

Chen Xuan guessed: "It should be a dragon son or daughter of the Rain Kingdom who entered the mountain. They are one step faster than the Jiang family of the Chu Kingdom."

A few more days passed.

Chen Xuan had finished practicing the second chapter of the Huangliang Sutra and was walking along the lake to relax his tired body and mind.

"The Huangliang Sutra cultivates the liver acupoint, which is called the [Huangliang Wood] in Taoist Canon."

He covered the area where his liver was located and muttered to himself, feeling as if a seed was buried in his body and was sprouting and growing.

"See Yan Yushu again, and I can probably cultivate the Daoist Canon recorded in the Yellow Millet Sutra."

But Yan Yushu has not been able to find a suitable opportunity recently, and has used the Six Desire Heavens, so the two cannot meet.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sky darkened, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and heavy rain like ink fell with great force. A roaring dragon's roar, shaking the mountains and rivers, came from the southern wilderness.

"hold head high!"

Chen Xuan jumped onto the roof and looked at the distant sky hundreds of miles away in the southern wilderness. In the dark clouds, there seemed to be a huge monster with a prominent head and horns, which was controlling the clouds and rain, angrily inspecting the earth.

"A Dinglu Realm dragon monster from the Rain Country has been wandering around outside for the past few days. I really dislike him, so I deliberately approached him to force him to reveal his whereabouts."

The old turtle suddenly appeared by the lake and told Chen Xuan what had happened.

The top powerful person from the Rain Country came secretly across the territory, but the old turtle was the real water-virtue powerful person in this area and did not give him any face at all.

"Senior Turtle, why do you do this?"

Chen Xuan asked after hearing this. The strange phenomenon in the sky did not last long. Soon, the rainstorm stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky appeared again.

"The dragon took the initiative to retreat. Ha, the Chu State's Fire Virtue masters gathered in Red Crow City are about to smell the scent and cause trouble for him."

The old turtle gloated, then told Chen Xuan the reason: "A young dragon girl from the Rain Country has met with the mountain king Da Hu, hoping to form an alliance with the Southern Wilderness, open the Shangyang Cave Heaven prematurely, and force the Fire Emperor to make a decision in advance." Chen Xuan asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a good thing? It would be very beneficial to the Southern Wilderness."

After all, the Fire Emperor might also attack the Southern Wilderness, so why would the old turtle deliberately harm the powerful dragons of the Rain Country?

The old turtle glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "The Rain Nation underestimates the Southern Wilds. If we want something, we will go and get it ourselves. There is no need to form alliances with outsiders... The Chu Nation has only one Fire Emperor, while the Southern Wilds are vast and boundless, and there is more than one mountain god sleeping there!"

This is a plain tone, but it is full of dominance and confidence.

Chen Xuan was stunned and looked at the old turtle.

The old turtle continued, "In a few days, the people from the Jiang family of Chu will arrive. Shanjun and I will not show up again. You and Shanyu and the other younger generations will meet them then."

Chen Xuan pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Persuade them to leave?"

The old turtle's meaning was very clear. Southern Wilderness had its own plans and would not give face to anyone... Chen Xuan had no reason to refuse the old turtle's entrustment. He accepted the protection of the Mountain Ghost Lady. For the time being, he could only stand firmly on the side of the Southern Wilderness ghosts.

The old turtle laughed and said, "If you don't listen to my advice, just chase them away. Don't let the Southern Wilderness down."

Chen Xuan knew the old tortoise was joking, and said in a deep voice, "If things go wrong, the Chu State will really start a war with the Southern Wilderness."

This matter has a huge impact. If you are not careful, it will lead to serious consequences... The cultivators who practice the Fire Virtue Red Qi have very bad tempers and get easily carried away.

"It would be great if Chu was willing to fight. But their primary enemy is still the Rain Country."

The old turtle looked calm and continued, "The universe is the furnace, and all living beings are the firewood. There are only so many positions. When faced with a once-in-a-millennium event like this, if we don't take the opportunity to kill a bunch of cultivators, how can we old fellows make progress? How can you little fellows rise to the top?"

Chen Xuan nodded silently… To cultivate in the Daozang realm, one needs to devour the spiritual essence of the same Qi. Many cultivators are happy to see the “raising Gu” war.

The old turtle turned around and tried to pat Chen Xuan's shoulder, but found that he was too short to reach, so he settled for the next best thing and patted Chen Xuan's chest with his tortoise paw, saying seriously:

"Little one, the Mountain Ghost Goddess will definitely open Shangyang Cave Heaven. That day will come soon. I will follow her on the expedition and won't have time to look after you... Countless treasures will rain down from the sky. Perhaps they are items from Shangyang Cave Heaven, or perhaps they are fragments of the remains of some powerful warrior who died in battle. Be smart and pick up whatever you can; they are all good things."

"it is good."

Chen Xuan responded. It made sense that big men were fighting in the sky while small men were picking up scraps on the ground. Soon, the old turtle left.

Not long after, Yan Yushu's inner voice was heard through the communication talisman:
"I'm coming to the Southern Wilds!"

Chen Xuan noticed the black light representing the Six Desire Heavens moving rapidly towards the Southern Wasteland and asked, "Have you found an opportunity to activate the Six Desire Heavens?"

Yan Yushu replied, "Just now, a powerful dragon from the Rain Nation appeared in the southern wilderness. Unrest broke out in Red Crow City, and a large number of Fire Virtue cultivators attacked the Xie family. I took the opportunity to capture a Taoist monk who was killing innocent people and ate him."

She became a great cultivator of the Daoist Canon, and eating ordinary immortal cultivators had little effect on her, and the Six Desire Heavens had almost no reaction.

Now, in the Six Desires Heaven, three of the four ferocious and angry statues of the Heavenly Kings have cracked and their heads have fallen off... Yan Yushu's mind is clear and if she really wants to become a heartless and ruthless fairy, it will be difficult for her to be corroded by even the slightest evil thought.

Only by eating a Taoist monk of the same level could she barely arouse a trace of evil thoughts and get the opportunity to meet Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan reminded: "Be careful. Well, you always wear thin clothes. Wear more clothes tonight."

"Thank you for your concern. It's not cold on the road."

"..."

……

……

late at night.

At the maximum distance of eighty miles, Chen Xuan saw the Six Desire Heavens descend in the Southern Wilderness.

"Friend Yan, I'm sorry for offending you tonight."

Chen Xuan cried out in guilt, opened his eyes wide, and decided to activate the power of the second heart fast in the Six Desire Heavens to see through Yan Yushu's true background!

Tonight, the last head of the Six Desire Heavenly Kings.

will fall.
