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

Chapter 182: Dinglu Gathering
Chen Xuan knew that Hua Liuli, who appeared to be a queen on the outside but was actually sentimental on the inside, was reminiscing about the past.

Nan Mian... must be related to her experiences before her rise to prominence. She was a prominent figure half an era, or even an era ago.

"Not [Wanshizun]."

Hua Liuli shook her head and replied with a sigh, "Nan Mian Zhe, meaning the crown of the Southern Territory, is a truly perfect [Immortal Species] genius. He was once the common... enemy of this Lord and the others, [Wan Shi Zun]."

She thought about her experience of escaping from Xiao Qingtian when she was young, and then she commented:

"But even Nan Mian, in terms of comprehension alone, seems to still be far behind you."

Chen Xuan showed curiosity and asked:

"Senior's enemy? Did you kill him?"

Few of the enemies that the Chosen One encounters will have a good ending.

What’s more, they are a group of people who have successfully risen to power and were once common enemies.

Hua Liuli rolled her eyes at Chen Xuan and said with a wry smile:
"Immortal seeds are the seeds of immortals, no worse than those of those with destiny. Many of the great and accomplished True Lords in the world are immortal seeds, and they are not easy to deal with."

Those who follow destiny go against the will of heaven and will not be tolerated by the world.

Those who are immortals follow the will of heaven and work together with heaven and earth.

Chen Xuan was surprised. These characters, based on their aptitude and foundation alone, were comparable to those who were destined to be together. They were completely the image of villains who would become lifelong enemies.

Those great masters who refine elixirs are probably immortals!
"In fact, I am a little worried that Nan Mian will appear during this trip to the Southern Wilderness."

Hua Liuli paused for a moment and smiled, "Legend has it that immortal seeds are born to deal with those who are destined to be with you."

She sought the inheritance from Master Taixuan, which was no secret in Yunmeng Province.

Chen Xuan frowned and immediately asked, "What do you mean, senior?"

Hua Liuli said, "Let's go to the central part of the Southern Wasteland first and see what the situation is like... I'm not someone you can easily mess with. If a fight breaks out, it's not certain who will win."

The Chosen One will always be one of the brightest stars on the stage of the times, fearless of no one.

The origin of the bluestone jade is too strange. Maybe someone is "fishing" behind the scenes. If there are other options, it is best not to act rashly.

"it is good."

Chen Xuan nodded. This was exactly what he wanted. Lord Shanjun and other big monsters disappeared in the central part of the Southern Wilderness, and they must be found.

Otherwise, the fox family of Baizi the little fox, the tiger family of Hu Da, the little elephant of Dishan... and the descendants of the big ghosts in the future will be wiped out in the south, and they will have to leave their homes and leave the southern wilderness to seek refuge.

Immediately, Chen Xuan left Yuzhou Market and returned to Hushan.

"I'm going to the central part of the Southern Wilderness. You'd better be careful and hide first." He said to Brother Tiger and Aunt Fox.

The ghosts were shocked when they heard this and said quickly, "No, that's a dangerous place, where many big ghosts from the south gather."

Although they were worried about the safety of their parents, they did not want to see Chen Xuan put himself in danger.

Especially since Chen Xuan had just killed the Lord of Peacock Mountain, this news would spread to the south quickly.

Perhaps, by now, it has all been transmitted back to the south.

Because, it is very likely that there is not only the Lord of Peacock Mountain and one big ghost nearby.

"I have made up my mind. The [Two Worlds Lords] will go with me."

Chen Xuan told them not to worry.

Moreover, apart from the two world masters, he has other means of self-protection.

[Tian Yan Dao] The method used by Brahma immortals to escape into Taixu.

If Chen Xuan encounters danger and really wants to escape, unless the great being [Tao Hongchen] comes in person, how many people in this world can stop him?

At the beginning, Chen Xuan traveled three million miles to find the [Lord of the Two Realms] Hua Liuli.

Although, he was going to repay a favor and do a good deed, after all, Hua Liuli was a top-level cauldron, and the matter of the Book of Destiny could not be delayed any longer, so he could only go to see her as soon as possible.

However, he is not the kind of good guy who would blindly repay a favor and rashly put himself in a dangerous situation where he is in danger of death.

For one thing, he has a spirit body as his trump card.

Secondly, if Hua Liuli only knows the appearance of a person but not his heart, and is really ungrateful, then Chen Xuan can just turn around and leave.

Does he have to be so stubborn as to fight to the death with Hua Liuli, who is a top-level cauldron master, right on the spot?

Can’t you just run away first and settle the score later?

Once Chen Xuan escapes into Taixu, Hua Liuli will have no way to deal with him at all!
Fortunately, when the four Taoist monks saw Hua Liuli in the Southern Wilderness, they were right in their feelings. She was indeed a decent person, and everything went smoothly.

"Your Highness, please think twice before you act..." A ghost tried to persuade him again.

But Chen Xuan had already left Hushan and entered the Yuzhou market again.

soon.

“Long…”

Above the sky, golden light mist surged, and hidden in it was the Jade Boat of the Two Worlds. Countless rune lines on its hull flashed brightly, and it slowly started and headed towards the central part of the Southern Wilderness.

Black Cat sat on Tiger Mountain, staring at the distant Two Worlds Boat, her brows furrowed. Then, she muttered:

"The Mountain Ghost Lady was driven out of the secret realm of [Guyao Mountain] back then."

That was something that happened long ago, and it came to the cat's mind.

It was so long ago that she almost forgot about it.

"Chen Xuan is going to join the fun with the [Two Realm Masters]? Two young and energetic cultivators..."

……

……

"Senior, using the Two Worlds Boat Noble Phantasm to travel quickly will make the target too big."

Chen Xuan stood on the top floor of the nine-story teahouse, holding the railing and looking down at the distant sky.

Originally, Hua Liuli wanted to cooperate with the tiger and take it slow.

But who would have thought that the group of big monsters, Shanjun, would actually dig up something by accident.

Now, we can only rush to the central area of the Southern Wilderness, which is more than 100,000 miles away, as soon as possible.

Hua Liuli is using all her strength to drive the Two Worlds Boat forward. The speed of the jade boat is not inferior to the speed of sound of an ordinary cauldron, and it is no problem for it to travel 10,000 to 20,000 miles a day.

"What do you say?" she asked.

"In this emergency, why don't you carry me on your back? If you are concerned about the difference between men and women, you can hold my arm." Chen Xuan asked tentatively. Every second of delay on the road may cause the mountain kings to encounter an accident.

"inappropriate."

Hua Liuli shook her head and refused, explaining, "Yaoguangzhou is different from Yunmengzhou. It's best for me not to leave the Two Realms Market at will. Once I go out, I will soon attract some ghosts."

Although she is a top-level cauldron, she is still cautious.

Those who are destined by heaven cannot stay under the light of heaven for long.

Otherwise, at any time, a strange force that you don’t know at all may suddenly appear out of nowhere and attack you, which is impossible to defend against and extremely dangerous.

"Ok."

Chen Xuan had no choice but to give up.

Hua Liuli was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"This ancient land of Yaoguangzhou hides countless secrets and is more dangerous than you can imagine."

Chen Xuan turned around in surprise and replied, "Why are you sighing?"

Hua Liuli stood beside Chen Xuan, shoulder to shoulder, her eyes solemn as she spoke:

"For millions of years during the entire Immortal and Ghost Era, Yaoguangzhou was a barren land, with both humans and demons ruled by ghosts."

"More than three thousand years ago, Emperor Jiang, who was not yet the True Lord Zhuzhao, single-handedly came to Yaoguangzhou to open up wasteland. He ascended to godhood on land and established the Chu Kingdom of the human race."

Not all of the three thousand states in the Southern Wilderness have human forces.

Most of the states were occupied by various demonic tribes and ghosts, leaving no room for humans. "But then, True Lord Fulong of the Rain Kingdom, True Lord Dawu of the Zhi Kingdom, and True Lord Jinde of another ancient nation all appeared almost simultaneously. The three of them trapped Emperor Jiang firmly within the mere 90,000 li of Chu."

"Not long after, [Mountain Ghost Goddess] also appeared out of nowhere."

Chen Xuan knew that this was a period of Yaoguangzhou's history over the past thousands of years.

“But for a mere Yaoguangzhou, the Five Directions True Lords are so powerful. This is unimaginable.”

Hua Liuli paused and sighed:
“You know, in many states and regions, even a True Lord cannot be found.”

When Dinglu ascends to become a god, he will have the power to dominate an entire state.

Chen Xuan agreed: "There are indeed some stories about this place, Yaoguangzhou. After all, it is the legendary site of [Guyao Mountain]."

He had personally witnessed the scene of the True Lord's true body reviving and descending.

Even the entire Yaoguang Province, covering millions of miles, seems insignificant under the Five Directions True Lord.

According to common sense.

Except for Yunmengzhou, the upper state in mythology and legend.

An ordinary state can only accommodate the birth of one great True Lord at most.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
After the birth of the first True Lord, it is impossible to allow a second True Lord to be born in the same state.

Even the surrounding areas of several or dozens of states will be severely suppressed.

"Yaoguangzhou is like an iceberg under the deep sea. It is best to be cautious in everything you do."

Hua Liuli said that even the [Taixuan Zhenjun], a transcendent existence who once dominated most of the three thousand states in the southern region, eventually fell in this area. If they are not careful, they will be doomed.

"Ah."

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement and continued to discuss the plan with Hua Liuli. Then, they chatted for a while about the customs and habits of Yunmeng Prefecture to broaden their horizons.

"Wow!"

The huge Two Worlds Boat traveled in the sky, like a giant beast carved from white jade, appearing and disappearing in the sky, and moving towards the central area of the Southern Wilderness at a high speed.

On the earth, countless ghosts looked up in horror at the huge ship passing across the sky.

soon.

Chen Xuan returned to the teahouse and seized every opportunity to continue practicing the Heavenly Mandate Sutra.

"Buzz!"

It was like the soul of a god in the fog leaving his body, reciting the Taoist chapters of the Huangliang Sutra. The cyan-gold Huangliang Qi flew and flowed along a special trajectory, circulating one cycle after another.

At the same time, the physical body swallowed a Wood Spirit Pill, and the refined power of the Wood Virtue Spirit fell into the small world of destiny within the body.

The ten-zhang-tall giant Huangliang Daozang let out a cry of joy.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground. With his breath, rich wood virtue life energy was spreading. Various rare herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng spread along the jade floor. Countless vibrant plants such as ancient vines and white flowers grew on the walls, shaking off soft green light rain.

Six days later.

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuan opened his eyes, and the cyan-gold light in his eyes slowly subsided.

"The fifth level!"

In the small world inside his body, the Huangliang Daozang, which he had practiced for a period of time on the way back to the Southern Wilderness from Chu, was successfully upgraded and reborn, becoming as huge as the Human Emperor Daozang, a hundred feet high.

"Master..." The giant Huangliang farmer knelt down towards the sky like a towering ancient tree.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, and at the same time, the amount of immortal energy in his body increased significantly.

Immediately.

He finished his training, walked to the door of the tea room next door, knocked twice, and shouted loudly outside the door:
"Senior! Senior! Open the door quickly!"

"Crack!"

Hua Liuli opened the door and said with some displeasure, "You keep calling me senior, calling me old for no reason. I'm only a few years older than you!"

Chen Xuan is not an ordinary Taoist monk. She can even kill Ding Lu head-on. It is not an exaggeration to call her a fellow Taoist.

"What are you shouting?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Fairy! Fellow Taoist! Sister! Hua Liuli! Anything is fine, just don't call me senior anymore." Hua Liuli said.

"Okay, senior."

Chen Xuan nodded, then asked, "Have we reached the central part of the Southern Wilderness?"

Six days passed, and with the speed of the peerless treasure, the Two Worlds Boat, they traveled day and night without stopping, and had covered no less than 100,000 miles.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Hua Liuli sighed, but she felt a little respected in her heart as Chen Xuan respected her so much, and she replied:

"We've entered the white fog area and will soon see the abyss."

Half a day later.

Hua Liuli stopped the Two Worlds Boat and waved her sleeves, pushing the golden mist in front of the boat to both sides. Immediately, a strong breath of space trembled, and a gap slowly emerged.

Chen Xuan stood on the nine-story teahouse tower and looked at the southern wilderness outside through the gap.

"What a spectacular sight..." he exclaimed. The Two Worlds Boat seemed to be floating on a steep cliff, with an endless abyss in front of it, with no end in sight.

"It's bottomless." Hua Liuli looked down into the abyss. The abyss seemed to lead directly to the underworld. The wind was howling and the bottom was invisible.

This huge abyss almost divides the entire Southern Wilderness into two parts, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, making people feel the infinite power of heaven and earth.

Chen Xuan inexplicably recalled the crack in the sky that was forcibly torn open by True Lord Fu Long when he tried to leave the Shangyang Cave before the cave disappeared... Only Tao Hongchen's divine power could have created this scene.

"Do you want to go down?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Let's first find the place where the mountain lions and other monsters disappeared." Hua Liuli said.

"Okay." Chen Xuan nodded. Compared to the secret realm of Guyao Mountain, he was of course more concerned about the whereabouts of Lord Mountain King and other big monsters.

“Long…”

The Two Worlds Boat changed direction and began to move along the edge of the deep abyss, searching for traces along the shore.

After about an hour, they had traveled thousands of miles.

The Two Worlds Boat stopped again, and a large group of feathered monsters gathered on the shore of the abyss ahead.

"The giant ghost from Dinglu in the south? A bunch of mixed-feathered birds?" Chen Xuan was startled when he saw this. He looked down at the ghosts dozens of miles away. There were golden rocs, blue-feathered phoenixes, and the sinister Gu Diao...

The auras of each one are extraordinary, and the strange phenomenon caused by their gathering is like brilliant rays of light of various colors, dividing the sky into colorful lights.

They are all big ghosts from the cauldron!
Almost at the same time, the giant feathered monsters gathered on the earth discovered the arrival of the Two Worlds Boat.

"Wow!"

In an instant, more than a dozen gazes turned into tangible and dazzling beams of light of various colors, piercing through the white mist and falling on the boat between the two worlds.

"Hmph... the 'Saint Son of the Southern Wasteland' from the north has arrived."

A golden roc uttered a cold cry, its entire body seemed to be made of gold, and every feather flashed with a sharp cold light like a fairy sword.

"The Lord of Peacock Mountain died in his hands."

The blue-feathered phoenix said solemnly, its body surrounded by the aura of the blue sky, extremely noble, and the sound of ancient ritual music flowed.

"...Share him?" A creepy voice sounded.

The colorful peacock in the Dinglu realm has been dead for more than six days. This shocking news has spread like a storm across the entire Southern Wilderness through various fast channels such as talismans and immortal energy.

When the news reached the ears of these cauldron and furnace ghosts, they all knew that Chen Xuan was driving a boat treasure and crossed to the abyss.

"One, two... thirteen." Chen Xuan looked at these mountain master-level monsters from afar, his scalp tingling: "They've hit the cauldron nest."
