Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 702 My Hometown
Of course, what's even more crucial is that Xu's name was already registered with the Heavenly Dao when he debuted, and he's carrying the karma on his shoulders.

We have promised to quell the evil spirits of heaven and earth and maintain world order; we cannot break our word.

They could only put away the dragon's head and seal it with various talismans.

Xu Xuan felt that his kindness had caused these guys to misunderstand, and he wanted to change.

He glanced back at the approaching thunderclouds, then at the seemingly sleeping giant tortoise ahead.

I took a deep breath and prepared to set off.

The closer it gets, the more dangerous it becomes. This place is a convergence of evil causes and effects, and I am one of the more special cases.

It is estimated that all the cause and effect and chaos are waiting for the final moment to erupt.

Hopefully, I can get out of there smoothly.

Take one step!
May Xu Xuan protect me!

Ok?
The familiar voice came so suddenly that he slipped and almost fell into the humus pool next to him.

What's wrong now?!

And this time, there were also sounds coming from inside.

Steadying himself, he was astonished to see wisps of thin yet pure willpower seeping from the void, wrapping around him like a light veil.

"This is..." Reaching out to touch those golden specks, I saw the scene outside the Dragon Palace.

Xiaoqing stood before the bronze gate, holding three incense sticks in her hand, and solemnly chanted to the incense: "Xu Xuan, please bless me and let me find the true dragon's blood essence... Xu Xuan, please bless me and let there be no troublesome guards inside... Xu Xuan, please bless me..."

They're treating someone like a wish-granting machine.

With each word she spoke, a wisp of wish power pierced through the void. Even more outrageous, Turtle King and several aquatic demons followed suit, lining up to offer incense and make wishes!
Xu Xuan: "..."

“You went too far by visualizing me before, but we’ll still add a little wisdom to it.”

"Shall we offer incense now?"

"Xiaoqing, actually you're the one who's cheating, right?"

"Do you know that in some situations these are used as a means of attacking the enemy?"

"Never mind, since that's the case, let's not rush into Turtle Mountain."

Xu Xuan had a premonition that Xiao Qing's Dragon Palace would be difficult to enter, and that he might be of use to her in the future.

He wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Yunmengze if he didn't solve these recurring minor problems.

Even the Azure Dragon can see its own changes and strange phenomena. If it were to do something like that at a crucial moment, it would be too dangerous.

I also wanted to test what my visualized body could achieve when surrounded by the power of will.

The Great Compassionate Dharma King gave a demonstration last time, and it was quite impressive.

So he withdrew half a foot and found a secluded spot to set up the barrier.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before he sensed a huge upheaval within Xiaoqing's inner world. The giant serpent of the mortal realm was frantically roaming over Taihu Lake, its Dharma power being activated.

As the intensity of the battle increased, Xu Xuan was able to see glimpses of the outside world through the barrier.

Even as Yunmengze and Dongting Lake intersected, his shadow was cast into the outside world.

Through the mist, I followed Xiaoqing as we wandered through the Dragon Palace and witnessed the scene of a secret realm on the verge of death.

"Devouring living beings, how is this Dongting Dragon Palace any different from demons?"

"However, it's also a good thing."

The more people who die here, the less trouble Bao'antang will have, since after their on-site investigation, they discovered that the Dongting demons are incredibly powerful.

Even if the few people from Qiantang worked themselves to death, they couldn't handle so many demons. Besides, demons' lives matter too, and killing too many might bring disaster upon themselves.

Xu Xuan is like someone who doesn't worry about having too much debt or too many lice, but Xiao Qing and the others might not be able to handle it.

Then he saw Long Nie, another one who had failed to transform into a dragon.

Thinking of the Azure Dragon he had sealed away, the numerous dragon remains in the Yunmeng Marsh, and the few shadows locked in the center of the lake, he had to admit that pursuing the evolution of bloodlines was an inevitable path for most demon races.

As for powerful demons like Bai Suzhen with Taoist lineage, they wouldn't be so reckless, because their starting point is at the very top of the bloodline system. After observing for a while, this dragon monstrosity... is something else.

His physical body seemed to be recovering, and he was even using his supernatural powers.

So when Xiaoqing was in a tough fight, he decided to take action and cut the Gordian knot.

"It seems like this was how we performed the hand seals last time."

The illusory Xu Xuan was enveloped in a soft white light, his hands forming a seal, and a pure white lotus bloomed from his fingertips, its petals layered upon layer.

"My hometown."

Suddenly, countless white lotuses bloomed on the lake of the heart.

A dazzling radiance burst forth from the lotus heart, shooting straight into the sky.

The radiance was like a long river that transcends time and space, carrying boundless compassion and wisdom through heaven and earth, leaving all things in silence.

A distant, melodious chanting arose between heaven and earth, as if thousands of Buddhas were reciting scriptures simultaneously. The sound was not harsh, but rather carried a sense of perfect bliss, striking directly at the heart.

The Pure Land, the White Lotus, and Xu Xuan, when combined, recreated a scene that terrified many cultivators.

An endless pure land descends from the unknown. In this pure land, there is no pain, no strife, only endless peace and joy, as if the soul has found its home.

Through this homeland that was neither real nor fake, Xu Xuan gradually walked out of Xiao Qing's divine court.

The White Lotus descended to earth... So that's how it is.

Of course, the first thing to do now is to end this battle. Time is limited and there's no time for showing off, so we have to keep things simple.

Here comes the sword!

Gan Jiang flew into my hand; although his body was illusory, the force I felt in my grasp was real.

This sudden appearance clearly startled the little monster.

The descent of the Father and possession by a demon are almost indistinguishable; both are quite terrifying.

"Idiot, draw your sword."

Yun Zhongjun's thunderclouds were constantly swirling behind him, and who knows when he might unleash a massive attack.

The two joined forces once again, and Gan Jiang and Mo Xie began to unleash their demonic power with great pleasure.

Xiaoqing's fighting style is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and she seems to be struggling more and more with the two swords.

After all, the sword master himself wasn't crazy enough to provide strong support.

Unlike Xu Xuan, who used his own power to supply demonic energy as fuel, which was inexhaustible.

The rest of the process is self-explanatory, as the two of them worked together to slay the dragon in no time.

Once the visualized body dissipated, Xu Xuan's journey of descent came to a complete end.

"The arrival across space is truly unreasonable."

So what is Xiaoqing? A vessel for descent? A believer? A position? Why can't others visualize me?
A host of questions have arisen, and I need to carefully sort out my insights from this experience.

Xu Xuan had a premonition that a large part of his cultivation cheat code had not yet been developed.

Of course, let's go find Qin first and then talk about other things.

He took a few steps closer to the giant tortoise, proceeding with extreme caution, his senses fully alert, his mind on edge.

However... nothing unexpected happened until we stepped onto the turtle's back.

Xu Xuan's expression was a bit strange. How come there was no difficulty at all?

Moreover, as soon as I stepped in, I heard the resonant sound of a piano, not far ahead.

It feels like you've done a lot of preparation for a thrilling yet dangerous dungeon run, only to have the quest rewards just sitting at the doorstep.

hiss~~~
What does this mean?

This means that something even bigger and more dangerous is waiting for me.
