Embers of Sword

Chapter 194 Visitors to Chen Mansion
What's on the other side of the snowy mountain?
Xie Xuanyi sat in the courtyard, squinting his eyes, his thoughts drifting back to the distant past.

Many years ago, Xie Xuanyi participated in a northern hunt, and that time, he hunted back a phoenix!
That hunt in the north was very grand.

Many geniuses want to compete for the limelight in Beishu.

But in the end, they were all defeated by Xie Xuanyi!
Except for the mutated descendants of dragon blood...there is almost no demon clan that can compare with Jiang Huang's pure phoenix bloodline.

In their opinion, Xie Xuanyi won a lot of money in that Northern Hunt, but Xie Xuanyi himself did not think so.

The Northern Hunt that year.

Xie Xuanyi discovered an ancient secret realm at the end of the snow-capped mountains. This secret realm was hidden in the snow on the mountains. There were countless sword auras at the entrance, making it extremely hidden.

The intuition coming from the lake in his heart told him.

There must be some great fortune in this secret realm!

However... great fortune is definitely not easy to obtain.

The secret realm in the snow-capped mountains is just an entrance. After entering this secret realm, one void portal after another will open.

Xie Xuanyi has always been cautious in his actions. He did not step in rashly, but just stood at the entrance, using his flying sword to guide his divine sense to explore the inside as much as possible.

Finally, the flying sword "hardly" reached the finish line.

He saw endless streams of light flowing and converging in the depths of the secret realm. At the end of these layers of secret realms, a fist-sized "fruit" was suspended.

That fruit, like a baby, seemed to have awakened its intelligence.

Just sleeping in the cradle.

Xie Xuanyi was shocked.

He never expected to see the legendary "God Fruit" in Beishou.

Such a story is recorded in the Lotus Peak Taoist Canon.

It is said that when the world was first created, chaos was not yet separated, and the great ways were intertwined. The order of this world was like colorful clouds, clearly defined but inseparable.

later.

The great principles of heaven and earth gradually became clear, and all living beings and spirits gradually became enlightened.

The Great Way then gradually disappeared into the sky and returned to the void.

For practitioners, refining Qi, building foundation, controlling Qi, condensing cave heaven, and forging Yin God are all the process of comprehending the Great Dao...but some magical objects can make people not have to work so hard and so tired. Just a few moments can be equivalent to decades of hard work for others.

The divine fruit is such a divine object.

This fruit takes hundreds of years to gestate, hundreds of years to grow, and thousands of years to mature.

In a sense.

This divine fruit is a "practitioner" who has lived for a long time. During the time of gestation and growth, the divine fruit has been comprehending its own great way... When it is truly "ripe", that is the moment when it attains the great way!
Thousands of years ago, there appeared in the Demon Country a supreme demon cultivator named "Taisui". He was a god who had attained enlightenment, cultivated humanity, and became a Yang God!
Xie Xuanyi used his divine sense to detect the aura of the Great Dao contained in the divine fruit...

A divine fruit means a "great road"!
It is a pity.

The gestation time of this divine fruit is not long. It should have been born not long ago. It has not yet comprehended the complete principles of the Tao, and has not even developed its own "spiritual intelligence". Even if it is swallowed, it cannot produce the legendary effect.

But for Xie Xuanyi at that time.

This divine fruit is the greatest fortune in history, no doubt about it!

He wanted to practice the second sword art, but he had no way to do it. This second sword art required the sword practitioner to have a strong enough physique...

And this divine fruit exudes the aura of "Tao".

It is extremely similar to the Vajra Way of Buddhism!
Perhaps because the living environment is too harsh, the great path that this divine fruit comprehended is the path of Vajra.

It can be said that after searching for a long time, you can finally find it without any effort.

If you can swallow this divine fruit, your physical body will be reborn!

Never thought about it.

Just when Xie Xuanyi was about to take the risk, an accident happened.

A landslide occurred in this snowy mountain area, and then a dense aura of a powerful demon descended... Xie Xuanyi was forced to do nothing but make a mark on his soul and temporarily leave this secret realm.

Not long after, a big battle with Jiang Huang took place.

In the end, because of the fight with Jiang Huang, he consumed too much energy and spirit.

After capturing Jiang Huang back, there was not much time left for the Northern Hunt.

The collapse of the snow mountain gradually expanded.

That Northern Hunt ended with several Yinshen Venerables from the Da Chu Royal Family taking action to seal off the Northern Hunting area.

Xie Xuanyi, who was obsessed with the "God Fruit", returned to the sect and told his master about it.

Zhao Chunyang did not immediately leave with Xie Xuanyi to leave Da Chu, but warned him...

It would be better to wait a few years before picking up this opportunity.

At that time, Xie Xuanyi agreed with this deeply.

The master must feel that his sword-flying skills are not refined enough.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant.

Even if you get the divine fruit, it may not be a good thing.

Later, he became the leader of swordsmanship. When he mentioned the divine fruit again, his master still said the same thing.

Not urgent.

Now let’s see.

Xie Xuanyi could only sigh that his master was worthy of being his master, as he was looking a little too far ahead.

Anyway, this time we're hunting in the north.

He wanted to take the God Fruit.

With this divine fruit, his "Golden Body Realm" will usher in an unprecedented breakthrough.

In Buddhism, the Golden Body Realm is divided into nine levels, corresponding to the first to ninth levels of secular body cultivators.

However, the physique of Buddhist disciples is always stronger than that of secular body cultivators in the same realm.

the reason is simple.

The method of shaping the "divine fetus" of the Fanyin Temple is powerful enough.

There are also differences in strength among the divine fetuses!
It is said that Fanyin Temple has 180 methods of practicing the Divine Embryo, and no matter what insights the cultivators have, they can reach the end of the Great Dao.

This is the strength of the three major sects.

Dao Sect, Sword Palace, and Brahma Sound Temple have almost all reached their limits in their respective cultivations! There is one thing that must be mentioned.

Taoism has reincarnated real people, and Buddhism also has them...

After the Bodhisattva passes away, his body burns and only his relics remain!

In the secular world, if there is someone who can resonate with the relics.

You will be able to obtain the Bodhisattva's robe and Buddhist treasures, and achieve enlightenment at an extremely fast speed.

From casting the golden body to shaping the divine fetus, perhaps it would only take a few days.

The divine fruit that contains the Vajra Principle can almost have the same effect as the Bodhisattva's relic!

……

……

The following days were much more "peaceful" than Xie Xuanyi had imagined.

Many people came to Chen's house to ask about boxing.

But as Duan Zhao's punches became faster and harder... those who were asking about his boxing skills also realized how powerful he was.

Also.

Although the news of Jianqi Hou's reward spread throughout the imperial city, those who really paid attention to this matter knew that Xie Zhen did not live in this marquis's mansion... Now that the Lin case was being tried by Yuan Jimo, more and more eyes, disgust, and hatred in the imperial city were shifted to the head of the Imperial City Department.

Xie Xuanyi occasionally traveled, changing his face into various forms and walking in the streets.

He could still hear people talking about the commotion a few days ago.

However, some people have begun to speak for themselves.

He certainly would not be so naive as to think that these street talkers, these people, possessed "supernormal" wisdom and a pair of discerning eyes that could see through so many secrets and point directly to the essence of this conspiracy.

This phenomenon can occur.

There are only two possibilities.

First, the library started to "make an effort".

Second, Fangyuanfang is trying to whitewash itself.

Xie Xuanyi was more inclined to the latter. There had been no news from the library in the past few days. After he was taken away that night, Chen Jingxuan seemed to have been entangled in some "trouble". He just used the Ruyi Order to simply inquire about his safety... It was obvious that the Queen summoned him at that time not just to confer a title of "Sword Qi Hou".

A person in such a position.

Where would I have the time and energy to play games with a “little character” like myself?
There is more than one whirlpool in the imperial city.

I am in the open.

The library should have been drawn into the dark side.

Although Xie Xuanyi guessed the answer, he was too lazy to verify it.

However, there are some things that you don't need to take the initiative for.

It will come.

……

……

It’s less than half a month away from the Northern Hunt.

Aristocratic families and sects from all over the Great Chu Dynasty began to move closer to the imperial city. The Chen Mansion, which had finally taken a break, gradually became bustling again.

After the Northern Hunt.

Fangyuanfang will soon come up with a new list of "Top Ten Heroes in the World". By then, the new generation of young talents from Dali and Dachu will also compete on the "Tianjiao List".

The destinies of the two countries collided.

Fangyuanfang ranked Xie Zhen in the top three of the Tianjiao list... This should have been Xie Sheng's position.

But after the battle in Xuanshui Cave.

The Prince of Jiangning fell from the altar.

Xie Zhen took his place.

It has to be said that worldly fame is really a ridiculous and absurd thing... No one could have imagined that the Prince of Jiangning, who had worked hard for ten years, would become a laughing stock in less than a hundred days.

On the contrary, Xie Zhen, who suddenly appeared, has become more famous than Prince Jiangning.

The greater the fame.

More and more people came to ask about boxing.

Some are revered, some are coveted.

Xie Xuanyi didn't care. He even hoped that everyone in the imperial city would come and ask for a fight one day in advance.

Anyway, it was Duan Zhao who came forward.

He was enjoying himself during this period, leaving all the trivial matters to the little guy.

Occasionally, he would encounter strong men from the Cave Heaven Realm or Golden Body Realm who were more powerful than the little guy and came to "greet" him. Xie Xuanyi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the backyard, would teach him moves with his divine mind and instruct Duan Zhao on how to defeat the enemy.

today.

A spring rain fell in the imperial city of Dachu.

In Xie Xuanyi's courtyard, an "acquaintance" who had only met him once came.

Every spring rain brings a chill.

After the chilly spring, the branches in the courtyard were covered with a layer of white frost, and the tender green leaves were covered with a layer of fine snow.

Duan Zhao, who was talking about boxing with someone in the front hall, did not notice anything unusual.

But Xie Xuanyi, who was sitting in the backyard drinking tea, noticed the unusual coldness.

A woman in a snow-white robe came to the Chen Mansion like a ghost.

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman who was dressed in snow-white and wearing a snow-white mask.

"Snow Lord?"

The woman bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Nice to meet you again, little Master Xie."
