Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 33 Singing and Advancing
In a dark passage, several wandering cultivators crowded together, each taking cautious steps one step at a time. Not far behind them, a few pools of blood on the ground were very conspicuous.

The independent cultivator walking in front was named Yang Xiao. His cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. He was extremely famous among the independent cultivators in the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Just now, the moment he was teleported in, he noticed several large characters floating above his head. He had also heard of the Yellow Springs Road, and he immediately explained the pros and cons to the people around him.

But as they moved forward, their cultivation continued to decline. Finally, a few of them ignored the advice and wanted to turn back and withdraw, and were instantly wiped out.

At this time, Yang Xiao was constantly talking to the people behind him about some matters concerning the Yellow Springs Road:
“Rumor has it that this Yellow Springs Road is the path for ghosts to reach the underworld, and living people cannot set foot on it.

Once a living person sets foot on the Yellow Springs Road, the rules of heaven and earth will slowly drain their energy and spirit, and they will eventually turn into a pile of bones and die, while their soul will continue along the Yellow Springs Road to the underworld.

If the person who steps in is a cultivator, the Yellow Springs Road will immediately absorb his cultivation until he becomes a mortal and then his energy and spirit are drained away.

If you ever think of retreating, or looking back, you will be completely wiped out by the rules of heaven and earth on the Yellow Springs Road, and even your soul will cease to exist!"

……

As Chen Xuan listened to Zhu Yin's continuous explanation, a bad feeling gradually arose in his heart.

He just realized that his cultivation had declined a little. At first, he thought it was because he broke through the realm too quickly and his realm was unstable. Now it seems that it was the Yellow Springs Road that was causing trouble!
So he asked:
"Since this is the legendary Yellow Springs Road, how do we leave?"

Zhu Yin stretched out a spider leg, patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, I've also said that the Yellow Springs Road shouldn't appear in the world of the living. Since it appears here, it means that the inheritance here must be related to it.
If my guess is correct, the Yellow Springs Road here is different from the real Yellow Springs Road. For example, we are now standing still, but our realm has not continued to decline.

Once someone obtains the inheritance of the inheritance land, the inheritance land will disappear. Then, we will naturally be able to leave this damn place."

"What will happen if we continue walking?" Chen Xuan asked.

Hearing Chen Xuan's question, Zhu Yin was stunned at first, and then asked tentatively:

"You don't want to go on!"

Chen Xuan nodded without any hesitation:
"Since I have decided to come here, there is no reason for me to return empty-handed. Since staying where I am will not be dangerous, I will just stay here until I die.

If I still can't get the inheritance by then, at least I won't have any regrets."

Having said that, Chen Xuan's aura suddenly changed, and his eyes became calm and firm:

"If I stagnate because of fear, then how can I practice cultivation? I might as well go back to being an ordinary mortal!

We are always afraid on the road ahead, afraid of the unknown, afraid of loss, afraid of this and that, but what often holds us back is the fear in our hearts.

Only the brave are worthy of success. Only by conquering the fear in your heart can you surpass those who are stronger than you on the road ahead and finally stand at the top of the mountain! "

After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Zhu Yin stood on Chen Xuan's shoulder for a long time without saying a word.

His eight compound eyes looked up and down at Chen Xuan's profile, as if he was meeting the young man in front of him for the first time.

After a while, Zhu Yin withdrew his gaze and said slowly:
"Well said! As cultivators of our generation, we should have a fearless heart, the courage to strive and the courage to try, so that we can forge our own unique and wonderful path!
In that case, I will accompany you today and fight for it without regrets!"

After saying that, Zhu Yin raised his hand and untied the magic on Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan immediately felt relaxed all over.

At this time, Zhu Yin's voice came again in my ears:
"Since you've decided to give it a try, it's not too late to fully understand the rules here before setting off. Being brave doesn't mean being reckless. Only when you're fully prepared can you give it your all."

Chen Xuan nodded, and then Zhu Yin continued to talk about other dangers on the Yellow Springs Road... After Zi Chen understood the rule that one cannot turn back on the Yellow Springs Road, he quickened his pace and continued forward, hoping to get out of this strange passage before his cultivation was exhausted.

After he had walked forward for half an incense stick, he suddenly heard a noise. Behind him, he heard a woman crying sadly. The voice was hollow and kept ringing in his ears.

Not long after, Zi Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he didn't know when, a dry bony hand without any flesh and blood was placed on his shoulder.

The hand was extremely powerful, as if it was trying to pull Zi Chen backwards.

His expression immediately tensed up and he broke out in a cold sweat.

If you accidentally get pulled back a step, the consequences are self-evident.

His mind moved, and spiritual light bloomed on his body. A powerful spiritual power surged out from his body, instantly smashing the bony palm into pieces.

After breaking free from his restraints, he quickened his pace again and rushed forward.

Suddenly, the ground in front of him began to surge, and white bones emerged from the ground, forming a team of iron cavalry, rushing straight towards Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's expression changed, and a golden elixir in his body began to spin wildly:
"Devil Transformation!"

In an instant, two devil horns grew on Zi Chen's head, his body size increased several times, and an astonishingly cold demonic aura emanated from his whole body.

As he swung his punch, sonic booms echoed in the surrounding void. After a loud bang, the cavalry made of white bones in front of him turned into powder in an instant.

Zi Chen understood that although these dry bones were very easy to deal with at present, as time went by, his realm would gradually be suppressed by the Yellow Springs Road, and these inconspicuous dry bones would eventually become a big problem.

For him, this is a race with death.

Of course, he could choose to stay where he was, and then no more dry bones would appear, but in Zi Chen's consciousness, there was no such thing as standing still.

At this time, Chen Xuan was also walking quickly forward, and Zhu Yin had set up several formations around him.

Although Zhu Yin's realm has fallen, his formation skills have not disappeared. It's just that some powerful formations cannot be used due to realm limitations and insufficient spiritual power.

At this moment, the several formations surrounding Chen Xuan are all top-grade formations. If they were to be released to the outside world, they would surely attract scrambles from countless cultivators.

Among them, there is a formation that isolates the Qi and can temporarily conceal the secrets of heaven. In this way, Chen Xuan will not have to fear the suppression of the Yellow Springs Road for the time being.

There are also several formations around it that increase speed, strength, soul, and spiritual energy.

Compared to others who were cautious when traveling, Chen Xuan made rapid progress all the way and soon caught up with the progress of other cultivators. His speed was even catching up with Zi Chen.

Fortunately, the place of inheritance teleports cultivators to different places, and there is more than one Yellow Springs Road. Otherwise, Chen Xuan’s high-profile journey would have attracted the attention of countless cultivators.

As Chen Xuan continued to go deeper, the walls on both sides in front of him suddenly changed. Several holes suddenly appeared on the walls, and white bone centipedes several feet long crawled out of them, completely blocking Chen Xuan's way forward.

Each of these centipedes has the cultivation level of the Qi training stage. They are vulnerable to Zi Chen, but can cause considerable trouble to Chen Xuan.
