Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 2 Crisis
In the vast snow, Chen Xuan walked with difficulty, relying on the experience taught by his grandfather to identify the direction, and headed north.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan was stunned, as if he had realized something, and turned his head to look behind him.

But there was nothing behind him except heavy snow.

Chen Xuan didn't think much about it. He scratched his head and continued to move forward with difficulty.

Behind him, at the place where Chenjia Village was originally located, the man in the white robe raised his hand and gestured in the air. Lines were outlined, and it turned out to be a chessboard!
There was nothing on the chessboard. As the man moved his index and middle fingers, the snow from miles around instantly gathered between his fingers and turned into a crystal clear white chess piece.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the chess piece in that person's hand fell into the center of the chessboard...

From last night until now, Chen Xuan has not eaten any food. He was thirsty, so he grabbed the snow around him, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it casually, and swallowed it after it turned into snow water.

Chen Xuan, who had been living off the mountains since he was a child, naturally had no shortage of food in the mountains, but he was just a child after all and had limited physical strength.

By night, Chen Xuan was already exhausted, and every step he took felt as if he was carrying a thousand-pound weight on his back.

Fortunately, he finally found a cave where he could rest temporarily.

The cave was quite deep. Even with the protection of the jade plaque engraved with the words "Yun Tian", Chen Xuan felt a chill coming towards him as he stood at the entrance of the cave, and he couldn't help but shiver.

But seeing that there was no place around to shelter from the wind and snow, Chen Xuan had no choice but to muster up the courage to walk inside.

Chen Xuan didn't dare to go deeper, and stopped after taking a dozen steps inside.

"Grandpa once said that a deep cave is a den, and a large cave is a nest. This means that a deep and large cave is called a nest, and nests are often inhabited by wolves, tigers, leopards, snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

This cave is several feet wide. If you rush in, you might run into something unexpected!"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan immediately took out a package placed aside, took out a wild rabbit he had caught during the day, and skillfully cut it open.

Then he found some dry branches in the cave, took out a tinderbox, lit them, and roasted the hare over the fire...

During this time, he took out the pill that his grandfather had given him from the package and looked at it carefully in his hand.

"Grandpa believed that taking this tiny pill could make one an immortal, but I don't know if that's true or not."

After playing with the pill in his hand for a while, Chen Xuan swallowed it without hesitation.

As the pill entered his stomach, Chen Xuan clearly felt a warm current rising from his lower abdomen. It traveled along the meridians and blood vessels throughout his body, transporting the warm current to every corner of his body. An invisible barrier spread out to a few feet around him, centered on Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan clenched his fists, feeling the abundant power in his body. From childhood to adulthood, he had never felt so refreshed.

At this moment, even without the protection of the jade plate engraved with the words "Yun Tian", he could barely resist the invasion of the cold.

At the same time, Chen Xuan finally noticed the faint spiritual energy in the air around him.

After calming down, Chen Xuan also began to think,

"It's a pity that Grandpa only gave me the elixir but no method of cultivation. How can I absorb this spiritual energy into my body and how can I improve my cultivation?"

"Forget it, it seems I still have to go to Yuntian Sect to get the method of cultivation." Thinking of this, Chen Xuan no longer thought about it. It happened that the wild rabbit on the fire had been roasted, and the fragrance filled the cave.

Take the roasted golden and crispy rabbit, tear off a piece of meat and start to enjoy it.

Little did they know that deep in the cave, a huge creature slowly woke up under the influence of the aroma of barbecue, and the next moment, it disappeared without a trace.

After eating and drinking, Chen Xuan looked at the heavy snow outside the cave, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and slung his package over his shoulder.

"This cave is filled with gusty winds, making it a bad place to stay for long. We'd better hurry up while we still have enough energy."

Chen Xuan walked to the cave entrance, his expression startled, and he suddenly stopped.

"when!"

I saw that the entrance of the cave had already been covered by a huge spider web, completely blocking the exit.

At the same time, Chen Xuan only felt a whistling sound coming from behind him, and he subconsciously rolled sideways.
I saw a spider leg that was like a spear and shone with a cold light passing by Chen Xuan. The barbs growing on it scratched Chen Xuan's sleeve.
With a crackling sound, half of Chen Xuan's sleeve was torn into rags.

Before Chen Xuansong could catch his breath, another spider leg stabbed out at a strange angle, heading straight for his heart.

Chen Xuan was shocked and immediately retreated several steps, barely avoiding the attack. At the same time, he also saw the true form of the spider leg - an extremely huge spider.

It was about ten feet tall, and as its huge mouth opened and closed continuously, drops of dark liquid dripped from it. The powerful toxicity contained in the liquid actually corroded small pits in the rock below. Its eight scarlet compound eyes stared at Chen Xuan.

Looking at the huge monster in front of him, drops of cold sweat oozed from Chen Xuan's back, soaking his thin coarse cloth clothes.

The next moment, the spider uttered human words: "Human boy, you are so brave to trespass into my cave. Now that you are here, stay here!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was shocked for a moment and hurriedly explained, "Wait a minute, Senior. I didn't know this was your cave. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope you, the great demon, will forgive me and let me go."

"Hmph! Cunning human, if you let me let you go now, will you come back with those so-called righteous monks to exorcise demons and monsters someday? Can I bear the same loss twice?"

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Xuan to react, the spider disappeared from its original spot in an instant, and its eight spear-like spider legs stabbed at Chen Xuan from different angles at the same time, completely blocking all of Chen Xuan's ways of survival... Chen Xuan suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was enveloped by a strong breath of death.

For a moment, Chen Xuan's mind was in a mess. He closed his eyes silently, waiting for death to come.

"I never thought I would die here after just one day out. Grandpa, Xuan'er has failed your trust and cannot become an immortal. This grandson is coming down to accompany you!"

But after a while, the expected pain did not come. Chen Xuan could not help but slowly open his eyes, but was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw a pitch-black box quietly floating in front of me, emitting bursts of dim light.

In the strange black light, Chen Xuan felt a deep and heavy breath.

The black light was emitted from the wooden box that my grandfather had given me before!

The spider's eight legs were now firmly locked in place by the seemingly faint black light.

The spider that was the spider leg itself actually felt an extremely strong pressure from the black light. The extreme suppression from its blood made it feel suffocated.
