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

Chapter 71 Cultivation
By the lake, the morning breeze blows the mist.

When Chen Xuan heard the title of the Fire Emperor, he was stunned.

"Big guys? Who are they? Isn't that a bit wishful thinking?"

The Chu State had a territory of 90,000 miles and was recognized as the strongest state in the past 4,000 years. It was a person who truly stood at the top of the pyramid in the world, yet someone was plotting against it?
Isn’t this just asking for too long a life?
The old turtle scoffed and said, "The Fire Emperor is old. His dynasty, his bloodline, and his descendants will all be reduced to ashes in the future... He will definitely seek immortality, but no one will agree to his madness."

Chen Xuan was shocked: "The Fire Emperor is going to die of old age!"

There is so much information contained in the old turtle's words.

The Fire Emperor, who has dominated the world for a lifetime, is about to grow old, but he will not willingly die in silence. Instead, he will enter the hidden place of the Shangyang Immortal to seek his chance to become an immortal!
The several mountain gods in the Southern Wilderness Mountains and the surrounding ancient demon nations that are eyeing them covetously will not allow such an earth-shattering event to happen...

Even within the State of Chu, there were many voices of opposition.

For example, the monks of Water Virtue will definitely resist, because if the monks of Fire Virtue become immortals, they will have a life worse than death, and may even disappear from this earth.

For example, some of the ambitious descendants of the Fire Emperor were born in an imperial family and had been crown princes for one or two hundred generations. But the first emperor never died. Who could bear it?
Chen Xuan exhaled slowly, then muttered in his heart: "The fight in the sky has nothing to do with a small person like me..."

Moreover, he knew in his heart that things were not as simple as the old turtle said.

The Fire Emperor wants to become an immortal, but other important figures don’t want to?
Definitely want to.

Otherwise, why would the Mountain Ghost Lady show off and snatch the relics of the immortals?
Everyone wants to become an immortal, and Chen Xuan wants to too.

"Senior Turtle is right. My current realm is too low. Facing such a major event, I can't get involved at all. The most important thing is to save my own life in the storm."

Chen Xuan sighed... In fact, the Fire Emperor was a great figure among humans. Once he died, the future of the Chu State, a human dynasty that had lasted for more than three thousand years, would be uncertain. It might even fall apart and be divided up by several surrounding ancient demon countries.

In Wang Chan's dream, he should have ended up walking on the side of the ancient Chu State.

Soon, the old turtle left because he saw some little ghosts in the yard peeking around furtively. He even recognized some of them and smelled a faint aroma of wine in the air. Seeing the little fox was also there, he didn't think much of it... There was a big difference in their identities and status, so he left quickly. It was not suitable for him to deal with them.

Chen Xuan stayed where he was, pondering for a moment, feeling that the Southern Wilderness was not safe either. In a world where Qi practitioners were rampant, there was no truly safe place, and big things were happening all the time.

"The most urgent task is to improve my own cultivation."

Chen Xuan returned to the courtyard and asked the little ghost to take the wine jug away. Then, he quickly packed his bags and prepared to welcome Yan Yushu.

"Where will we meet?"

Yan Yushu chased the stars and the moon, controlled the Ying Yu Qi, and traveled more than a thousand miles in one night, and was about to arrive at the southern wilderness.

"The camp at the Hanging Temple." Chen Xuan thought for a moment and answered.

……

……

At noon, Chen Xuan avoided the ghosts along the way, left the Southern Wilderness, and reunited with Yan Yushu.

"Just this once!"

Yan Yushu was covered in dust, her hair was slightly messy, and her delicate face was slightly red, but her expression was very cold, like an ethereal fairy.

She took a heavy wine gourd, weighed it twice, and found it weighed at least five pounds. She sneered, "Oh, it's very full!"

Chen Xuan said solemnly: "You don't have to drink it all, drink according to your ability. The remaining fairy pear wine is given to fellow Taoist."

Yan Yushu puffed up his cheeks in frustration, his hands on his hips, his bulging chest rising and falling. He snorted, "You must be such a hypocrite... This is the last time, you won't have a chance anymore! Hold the line for me outside the door!"

After she finished speaking, she walked into the clean house where Chen Xuan had stayed for a night and closed the door... She was not lying, this was really the last time, because after returning, she would go into seclusion to advance to the Daozang!

"Buzz!"

After a moment, Chen Xuan's eyes trembled, and in Xinzhai's vision, the black light representing the Six Desire Heavens trembled.

"here we go."

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged in the open space outside the house, concentrating his mind, activating his heart fasting, and began to practice.

……

Six Desire Heavens, Lotus Platform.

"Little giant elephant, little bear, little red dog, little water snake."

Chen Xuan's memory flashed with the magic diagrams of the four five elements of Qi, and he decided to start from there.

With the five elements of Qi in the body integrated, the difficulty of practicing the magic tricks on the five paths is no longer difficult. What takes ten days in the outside world can be accomplished in half a quarter of an hour here.

"Moo!"

Soon, the shadow of a giant elephant with four hooves like pillars emerged. Its snow-white tusks were more than one meter long. A deep and powerful roar came from under its trunk, and its whole body was filled with a sacred aura.

With the golden virtue and white qi, the little elephant magic trick has been mastered!
"Whoosh!"

Yan Yushu's face flushed, but her fox-like eyes were extremely clear and bright, staring intently at Chen Xuan's back, as if she wanted to stare two holes in him.

"You're not practicing the second chapter of the True Sutra, but are still practicing magic? Fine, fine, I want to see what you can come up with today!"

She sneered to herself, sitting upright on the ground, her black skirt covering the floor. She was like an emotionless, flawless snow-white porcelain figure, her jade fingers were steady, maintaining the same frequency.

Chen Xuan continued to practice the second trick, but he felt like there was a thorn in his side and frowned:
"Yan Yushu, why are you staring at me? It's creepy!" His eyes were extremely aggressive, making people feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

Yan Yushu smiled faintly, charmingly, and said provocatively: "You can also look back, I don't care..."

"..."

Chen Xuan clenched his fists, his veins showing... Forget it, for the sake of practice, I'll just bear it for now.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"The little bear's trick is done."

"Little Red Dog's trick is done."

"The little water snake trick is done!"

In about two quarters of an hour, all four magic tricks were mastered. The speed was extremely fast!
"Um……"

Yan Yushu felt a little tired, so he changed to a comfortable position, lying on the ground on his side, glancing at Chen Xuan. At the same time, his present-day body took a sip of fairy pear wine, and his mind instantly became extremely clear.

"Ha, fellow Daoist, you're really fast. Any more? One more!"

She smiled strangely, looking somewhat self-destructive, and was marveling at Chen Xuan's terrifying speed of cultivation... There was a hint of sneer in her, but also genuine shock. Even though she had witnessed Chen Xuan's cultivation scenes many times, she was still amazed by it.

Because Yan Yushu himself is a person with excellent roots, it would take him less than ten days to practice a magic trick in reality, but the comprehension shown by Chen Xuan at this moment has exceeded people's imagination.

"..."

Chen Xuan ignored her and completely entered a state of total concentration and selflessness. His heart for seeking the truth and practicing cultivation was as unshakable as steel, and he was immersed in his practice.

In addition to the four magic tricks, he has learned eleven magic tricks so far.

"What's going on? This mysterious feeling."

Chen Xuan sensed something strange, as if he had touched an unreachable barrier.

"There's also a little crow trick from the Sun Dao tradition!"

The way of the sun is beyond the five elements.

This is the sixth Qi, and it is several times more difficult to practice than the fifth Qi... Moreover, the five elements of Qi are trembling, and seem to be very resistant to the generation of the sixth Qi.

"Can't you practice? Practice hard!"

After a brief thought, Chen Xuan decided to continue practicing. Firstly, he believed that the time spent was not as much as that spent on practicing the second chapter of the true scripture. Secondly, he had a hunch that once he cultivated the sixth kind of immortal qi, the accumulated energy might be able to make his body leap to a new level.

With the support of the Six Desire Heavens, he has the opportunity to trial and error that others do not have.

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuan ordered the five elements of Qi to begin gathering towards his brows. Gradually, a set of Qi diagrams that looked like crows began to emerge, emitting a majestic feeling like the scorching sun.

"Huh? What kind of magic trick is this? It's as bright as sunlight... Solar Qi!"

Yan Yushu's pupils suddenly shrank, his brows furrowed slightly, and his attitude became serious. He whispered in confusion, "Where did this Yang Qi magic trick come from? Do you want to cultivate the sixth Qi and break through the limit of feather transformation?"

She keenly realized that Chen Xuan was doing something big. It was a feat that even a peerless genius with the ultimate aptitude would not attempt easily, as the hope of success was too slim.

Yan Yushu felt a huge pressure...she also had to be serious.

A tug of war.

Chen Xuan immersed himself in it wholeheartedly, a wisp of immortal energy flowed between his eyebrows, as if he had opened his third eye, and his whole body gradually exuded a majestic aura of uprightness and supremacy.

"The Sun Qi seeks to 'illuminate the world, and I alone reign supreme.' He gradually developed the Qi..."

Yan Yushu muttered to himself in his heart, and then he became completely quiet, lowered his brows, and stopped disturbing anyone.

She was a person with a broad perspective, and was extremely measured when faced with serious matters. Even though she felt tired and achy, she still gritted her teeth and persevered... There was a magical sense of solemnity about her.

The rosy lips were slightly cracked, and blood was seeping out.

……

……

Southern Wilderness, Little Stone Lake.

A group of demons with human bodies and snake tails swam into the empty yard, and then several figures dispersed to search the surrounding environment.

"Miss, the mountain king and the old turtle must be hiding on purpose, leaving us hanging. The ghosts of the Southern Wilderness have ulterior motives!"

A maid shouted angrily, her two sharp white fangs revealing a coldness:
"The ghosts nearby said that Old Man Turtle has been appearing here frequently lately, meeting with a human."

The purple-dressed woman had fair skin and a pair of vertical pupils that flashed with blue-purple lightning. She clasped her hands at her waist, like the most elegant court lady, and said softly:
"wait."

"Here?"

"There's no other way..."
