Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 119 New Breakthrough, Formless and Invisible
However, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

The more silent the Guolu people are, the more they resemble a barrel of gunpowder being constantly filled, waiting for the final spark to ignite it completely.

That day was just a few days away.

Chen Shunan was also conscripted and followed Sun Xiao, Cheng Bin and others, either patrolling the streets and alleys or escorting supplies to the riverbank to build dikes.

However, none of these are frontline positions; there are plenty of opportunities to slack off.

Furthermore, the news that Chen Shunan was too old to join the inner office spread quickly and circulated within the Wuqing Sticky Rod Office.

Regardless of whether others are disdainful, sarcastic, or disappointed in him, at least on the surface, no one dares to provoke Chen Shunan anymore.

Just pretend he's invisible.

Chen Shunan was naturally happy to accept this.

Late that night, all was quiet.

As the last two or four units of the Fushi Mother were exhausted, Chen Shunan ignored the strange and illusory voices in his ears, remained unmoved, and beheaded the Ear Thief once more.

This time, after the ear was severed, it did not grow back for a long time, as if it had been thoroughly wiped clean.

Then, an extremely subtle yet crystal clear crisp sound burst forth from the deepest part of his consciousness!

In an instant, the four true skill diagrams—the blazing flames, the golden light of the vital orifice, the acquired energy, and the great medicine dragon and tiger—appeared as if forming a cycle, and various visualizations and illusions came one after another.

Chen Shunan's senses of body, eyes, nose, and ears were as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and the outer membrane that had been torn away had been removed, allowing him to step into a completely new world.

A more powerful and purer life force surged forth from beneath his body, like spring buds breaking through the soil, unstoppable.

As if struck by inspiration, Chen Shunan immediately got up and began practicing standing and finger techniques in the messy attic.

Small leg raises, pointed feet, broken knees, the Thirty-Six Forms of the Flying Immortal, and the Golden Snake Entwining Silk Hand—all these fighting techniques flowed through his mind. In the end, it was as if he had returned to simplicity and was no longer bound by so-called fighting techniques.

His breathing was deep and powerful, with a unique rhythm. With each inhale, his abdomen would sink in and his muscles would slightly contract; with each exhale, his lower abdomen would swell like a drum, and his strength would explode from his waist and hips, transmitting to his legs!
Whoosh!
With a slight thought, his figure silently slipped out of the pavilion like a ghost, completely merging into the cold moonlight, as if he had lost all weight. Wherever he passed, the dust did not stir and the weeds did not sway.

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to have 'forgotten' Chen Shunan's existence.

A black cat with eyes like lamps squatted on the courtyard wall, leisurely licking its fur.

But it was completely unaware of Chen Shunan, who was standing right in front of it, even when it turned its head to look at him warily, it passed right through Chen Shunan's figure.

It seems that in its eyes and perception, Chen Shunan does not exist at all!
After slaying the four thieves—body, eyes, nose, and ears—Chen Shunan discovered that he seemed to have gained new abilities.

It can deceive others' four senses, leaving no trace, no form, and no shape. Even when they are right next to you, they will not realize it.

Unless, the other party's spiritual strength or realm is higher than Chen Shunan's.

First, it moved with incredible speed, its sheer speed leaving others no time to notice before it vanished.

Furthermore, the current formless and invisible nature directly deceives and even alters others' four senses...

The world is vast; where can't Chen Shunan go?
Chen Shunan seemed to be thinking of something and muttered to himself.

This really tests Mr. Chen's moral bottom line.

Chen Shunan silently dispersed his thoughts, revealing his physical form.

The black cat suddenly saw a person appear out of nowhere in front of it, and immediately bristled, letting out a shrill scream. Terrified, it ran away in a flash.

"Having slain four thieves, opened up the Tiger Tendon and Leopard Veins, and further cultivated the Golden Serpent Entwining Hand technique, while visualizing the Teng Snake Coiling Around the Pillar Diagram, my Qi and Blood strength are already superior to those of other cultivators at the same level..."

Chen Shunan's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment,
"How do they compare to Zhi Jing, Master Hong Wu, and the others? Can they defeat the Holy Maiden Tianxuan?"

"No, after all, this isn't a cross-border counterattack, so there are still some risks involved. But that's not enough; we need to kill five thieves, six thieves, or even a martial arts grandmaster."

After obtaining the visualization diagram of "Golden Snake Entangling Silk Hand", Chen Shunan may have had his physical constitution altered, and with the opening of his Niwan point, he gradually returned to his innate state. Whether in terms of physical strength or spiritual potential, he can be described as a prodigy.

So, with almost no ripples, he visualized a coiled serpent in his mind's eye, like a pillar of heaven, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The Six Scenes Revolving True Skill Diagram in "Flesh Flying Immortal" distinguishes and manifests the six thieves separately. Even if one cultivates to the point of full glory, it is nothing more than simultaneously visualizing six true skill diagrams. It is exquisite and expressive, progressing from shallow to deep.

However, this Tengshe Heavenly Pillar Diagram carries a wild and domineering connotation, imagining a Tengshe deceiving the heavens, looking down from above, regarding the six thieves as six snakes, and devouring and refining them.

The two have completely different intentions.

Therefore, Chen Shunan's concurrent study of "Golden Snake Entangling Silk Hand" was able to fill in the gaps and complement each other, refining some hidden acupoints and meridians, and areas of obscure intention.

"The remaining two thieves, the tongue thief and the mind thief, are the two most difficult to kill among the six thieves."

"When the tongue touches the palate, saliva is produced in the mouth. It cannot be swallowed indefinitely and can be regarded as a great medicine. It is a manifestation of the upward movement of qi in the human body. This tongue is even more closely related to the human body's treasures. It is said that some old Taoist priests have spent their whole lives studying and cultivating a mouthful of saliva, which is enough to prolong life."

"And as for the 'Thief of the Mind,' needless to say, he is a restless mind, the root of all distracting thoughts. However, the treasure trove at Wuqing Sticky Pole Place, with its 'Stone Immortal Peach' and 'Long-lasting Pine Resin Rice,' is quite beneficial for slaying the 'Thief of the Mind' and the 'Thief of the Mind'... It seems that I, Chen, should also make a move and compete for it."

Chen Shunan pondered silently.

only……

Chen Shunan silently looked at his arm.

As his cultivation level continued to rise, the transformation within his body, resembling a fleshy Ganoderma lucidum, became increasingly apparent.

Beneath the skin, something seemed to be slowly wriggling, and an indescribable feeling of swelling appeared and disappeared intermittently.

It was as if something was about to burst out of Chen Shunan's body at any moment.

……

The back mountain of Yanziwu.

Deep in the clouds, a solitary peak pierces through the sea of ​​clouds.

On one side are steep mountains, and on the other side are deep valleys. A few ancient Taoist temples and monasteries are scattered in between, but they are deserted and neglected, having been destroyed by wind and rain.

Meanwhile, atop the steep mountain, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, clad in hemp clothing and barefoot, carefully watered several verdant seedlings in the vegetable garden. Not far away, a few thatched huts nestled against the mountainside, an old futon resting at the east-facing doorway.

An ancient-style whisk lay across it, its thousands of whisks cascading down, seemingly wriggling like strands of hair, silently sinking into the depths of the soil.

"Holy Maiden, the Wuqing County government has already exposed the corpses of the rebels and established the Wuqing Sticky Pole Office. They say... a great demon is hiding beneath Banno Ferry!"

Outside the vegetable garden, two people stood in the mud with expressions of awe.

One of them had a ruddy complexion, a large belly, wore a black satin mandarin jacket, and a melon-shaped hat. He always had a smile on his face, making people feel an irresistible urge to get close to him.

This man is Huang Xing, the new owner of Wanlong Rice Storage. He was originally a wealthy merchant in Tongzhou City, specializing in transporting fine rice by canal.

After Zheng Shicheng's death, he spent money to buy a position and pull strings to get promoted.

Standing next to him was a man in his fifties with a clean-shaven chin and smooth, delicate skin.

Her skin was even more supple than a woman's; she was the manager of Jiulong Mill, named Guan Sheng.

Huang Xing said gently, "In the past, when my brother hung his body in the bustling market, that Red Fifth would definitely try to snatch the body. At that time, the Holy Maiden would be able to leave this place. It's a cause for celebration."

Guan Sheng seized the opportunity to speak, saying, "Yes, but Holy Maiden, that underwater demon is a serious threat. If it were to stir up the river and unleash a tidal wave of demonic energy, it would be a catastrophe for the people of Wuqing County. I wonder if Holy Maiden has any way to slay the demon..."

Tianxuan Saintess put down her gourd ladle and said indifferently.

"Old Fifth Red is as hard as iron, stubborn and unyielding. He won't go. Not only will he not go, but he will also restrain the rest of the group and strictly prohibit them from entering the county to seize the corpse. As for the water demon... I know what I'm doing."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and confusion in each other's eyes, but dared not say another word, and could only remain silent and lower their heads.

"I have summoned you here today for another purpose."

"Please enlighten me, Holy Maiden."

Tianxuan Saintess said, "The person who stole the Azure Gang Fireworks has been basically identified. He is hiding in Shuiwozi, Wuqing County, and is probably just an insignificant nobody. Since force won't work, let's try a softer approach."

Tianxuan Saintess's eyes were slightly cold.

"After you return, either openly or secretly, infiltrate the heart of the enemy, and even have those who supported us become the driving force. We will have no shortage of ways to force them out."

Huang Xing looked troubled and said, "But Holy Maiden, the people in Shuiwozi are numerous and complicated. Even if we pretend to be the head of the well, checking them one by one would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. We can't just... kill them all, can we?"

A faint, indifferent smile appeared on Tianxuan Saintess's lips.

"Heh, those who receive the favor of immortality will either suffer a backlash from their fate and die a violent death, or they will soar to the heavens and distinguish themselves. They cannot hide or conceal it. When the time comes, bring them before me, and I will take action personally."

"Yes!"

"I will obey the Holy Maiden's decree!"

The two bowed in unison and agreed.

"By the way, I'm missing a medicine apprentice. Have you found the person I asked you to find?"

Tianxuan Saintess suddenly spoke.

"Of course. This man is Shi Yue, the master of Hou Tu Martial Arts Academy. He is a first-rate martial artist with a destiny of accumulating wealth and treasures... Guards, bring him here!"

Guan Sheng clapped his hands behind him, and two burly men in tight-fitting clothes carried a burlap sack up and threw it into the vegetable garden.

"Alright, then you may all step down."

Tianxuan Saintess's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.

The group hurriedly descended the mountain and left.

Tianxuan Saintess walked to the sack, gently brushed it with her fair hand, and the sack tore open with a sound.

"kill--!!"

With a roar, Shi Yue's burly body suddenly sprang up!
His eyes were bloodshot, and his powerful internal energy was circulating wildly without reservation. He gathered all his strength and threw a punch fiercely at the face of the person in front of him!

Is this... that holy maiden?
Upon seeing the woman in front of him, Shi Yue was slightly dazed.

He was on patrol in the Bewitching Bay area when, for some unknown reason, he was ambushed, given muscle relaxant, and lost consciousness.

Fortunately, he possessed profound skill and his cultivation technique provided him with enduring resistance to poison. He had already quietly regained consciousness and was just waiting for the moment the enemy opened the sack to launch his attack.

But it turns out that it was Tianxuan Saintess who was behind this?
Why is this?

Click!

However, without Tianxuan Saintess making any move, Shi Yue's limbs suddenly broke, twisting in a strange arc that sent chills down one's spine.

"Ah!! My leg!! You vixen, I'll fight you to the death!!" Shi Yue screamed in agony.

Tianxuan Saintess's gaze was gentle, even showing pity. She raised her hand and pushed her palm, and an invisible force instantly cut off Shi Yue's wildly surging blood and qi, locking it tightly inside his body.

The soil was turned over, and Shi Yue was buried alive in the vegetable garden, with only his head sticking out.

The lush green seedlings around us seemed to have come to life instantly, their roots rustling as they broke through the soil.

It precisely pierced Shi Yue's dantian, coiled around his heart, and even spiraled upwards, probing deep into his brain marrow, greedily drawing out his crimson blood and qi.

All the life essence absorbed is then continuously delivered to the ancient whisk through the duster rooted in the earth.

Shi Yue's eyes immediately became dull and lifeless, and were quickly obscured by the lush green vegetable seedlings.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan showed a look of joy.
"Good boy, good boy, you must take good care of my vegetable garden."

Having said that, she stopped looking at Shi Yue, who had become a medicine boy, and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff. Her gaze darkened as she looked down into the deep ravine.
