"How do you know there's no affection between us? Perhaps the entanglements and grudges between us are far deeper than you think," Chu Yang said, opening his eyes.

"What exactly are you doing this for?"

"What are you doing? Maybe I'm saving you too."

"Actually, I didn't do anything, but she had to stay by my side to avoid more disasters."

Zi Ying frowned slightly, completely baffled by Chu Yang's words.

"But was she doing this willingly? You don't seem to love her at all, nor do you care about her, so why do you want to possess her?"

"She is a true disciple of my Xuanling Sect, not your puppet."

"If Martial Aunt Gu Lan finds out that you coerced her, she will definitely not let you off the hook."

How did you know I didn't care about her?

"If you care about her, you couldn't possibly remain unmoved when she had a scandal with Shen Lingtian."

"Do you know Shen Lingtian? He is the strongest prodigy in the Xuanling Sect in ten thousand years. He is destined to become an immortal in the future."

"After a brief meeting, I feel that he is a better match for Junior Sister Lin Xi than you are."

"Shen Lingtian?" Chu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

I had interacted with him once in my past life and I knew what kind of person he was.

Unfortunately, he could never become one of those top experts.

Whether you think it's suitable or not, it has nothing to do with me.

"But I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

"As long as I am here, Lin Xi must be kept in check."

"If you think Shen Lingtian is capable, then let him come to me. I will personally deal with your so-called strongest genius."

Chu Yang's dark pupils turned to Zi Ying, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Besides, I know you're hostile towards me, and I'm only refraining from arguing with you because of her."

"But next time."

"If you continue like this, then I will have no choice but to kill you."

"Don't think that just because you're a prodigy of a sect, you can criticize others at will. There are many things in this world that you don't know."

"If you'd like to fight now, we can go to a flat area and settle things once and for all."

Meeting Chu Yang's cold and stern gaze, Zi Ying felt a shadow fall over her heart.

She could also tell that Chu Yang didn't seem to like her either.

Having experienced the ruins briefly before, even though she was at the Ascended Emperor Realm, she was not confident in defeating Chu Yang at this moment.

"I hope you can be just as tough when you're facing Shen Lingtian and Uncle Gu Lan."

Zi Ying gave Chu Yang a deep look before flying away...

Two days passed quickly.

After refining the Stabilizing Essence Pill, Lin Xi's injuries were completely healed.

At the same time, due to her previous absorption and refinement of the Three Yuan Pill, her cultivation level is about to break through to the late stage of the Core Formation Realm.

This is good news.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the guardian mission. A treasure chest will now be randomly selected...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have attracted Chu Yang's attention. Your fiancée progress +1, resulting in a critical hit!]

[Obtained 1 Black Treasure Chest!]

"Black? A black treasure chest?!" Lin Xi exclaimed in shock.

The black treasure chest is the highest-level treasure chest besides the gold treasure chest!

Corresponding to the Celestial level in mainland China!

Who would have thought that she could get a black treasure chest just by randomly choosing a task in the ruins?!

"We made a profit!"

Lin Xi was overjoyed and immediately opened the treasure chest.

[Congratulations, host! You have acquired the swordsmanship talent, Sword Heart Clarity! Chu Yang's Secret!]

"A clear and enlightened sword mind?!"

Lin Xi immediately accepted the information that appeared in her mind.

Sword Heart Clarity is a Celestial-level sword technique. It grants a mind as clear as a mirror, free from any impurity, and enhances one's affinity and understanding of the sword.

It can make sword practice twice as effective.

The power of the sword techniques or martial arts skills used will be multiplied!

"Such a remarkable talent!"

Lin Xi was overjoyed.

She was originally a sword cultivator, and with the blessing of Sword Heart Clarity, she was like a tiger with wings.

It was worth it to shield Chu Yang from that sword.

"It's finally here..."

After exploring the Sword Heart Clarity for a while, Lin Xi's attention finally came to the light-shaped scroll in his mind.

This scroll is Chu Yang's secret.

Once opened, one can access the truth that Chu Yang has been hiding.

Ideally, we could even find his weaknesses.

Without a word, Lin Xi immediately opened the scroll with his mind:

Chu Yang, a reborn individual, a practitioner of the Battle Nourishing Technique, a successor of ancient mysterious characters, the possessor of the Hundred Battles Immortal Body, and the master of the Chaos Cauldron.

After eighteen years of arduous cultivation, he was betrayed by Lin Xi, who stole the origin of his Hundred Battles Immortal Body. By chance, he gained the recognition of the Chaos Cauldron as his master.

On its deathbed, the Chaos Cauldron reversed the flow of time in the universe, taking Chu Yang back to sixteen years ago.

The Chaos Cauldron is a supreme forbidden artifact, unknowable and unexplorable.

Because he was born with the ability to erase the cause and effect of the world, he was not remembered by living beings. Protected by the Chaos Cauldron, Chu Yang's fortune was hidden and concealed, allowing him to rise against the heavens.

"......"

Bro, is that right?

Lin Xi, who had been somewhat confident, suddenly had her pupils shrink when she saw the contents of the scroll, and almost couldn't recover.

The supreme forbidden artifact, the Chaos Cauldron?

Reversing the flow of time in all the universes?

Unknowable and unexplorable?

Erasing worldly cause and effect? ​​Being forgotten?

What is this thing?! It's terrifying! And so incredibly high-class?!

Lin Xi was terrified.

This Chaos Cauldron is incredibly sinister.

She only dared to guarantee that this thing definitely did not belong to the Tianwu Continent.

Moreover, there are things like the Battle Cultivation Technique, the inheritor of ancient mysterious characters, and... the Hundred Battles Immortal Body.

Well, she does know about the Hundred Battles Immortal Body.

Humans are blessed by heaven and earth; some are born extraordinary and possess exceptional physical constitutions.

Just like Lin Xi's heart of immortals and demons.

Human beings are classified into three physical types: spiritual body, royal body, holy body/divine body, and finally, supreme body.

The divine body and the holy body are equivalent; it depends on which one is stronger.

Above the divine and holy bodies, the twelve supreme bodies are the strongest in the Tianwu Continent.

This Hundred Battles Immortal Body is the third-ranked Supreme Body.

It hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps because the Hundred Battles Immortal Body is too ancient to have ever appeared in the world, she only remembers that the Hundred Battles Immortal Body can continuously break through in battle.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yang was actually the owner of the Hundred Battles Immortal Body.

No wonder Lin Xi in her previous life coveted his origin.

"I already suspected Chu Yang's background was terrifying, but I never imagined it would be even more so!"

"So how should I get rid of Chu Yang after this?"

Lin Xi scratched her white hair, completely clueless.

"......"

"......"

In the end, she could only sigh softly.

"Forget it, I'll wait until later. Sooner or later I'll make him pay the price."

However, there is one thing she can actually accept.

Chu Yang's mental age is at most in his thirties, plus his young body.

It's not those ancient monsters that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old.

It's still acceptable.

If she were to have an ambiguous entanglement with an old monster who was tens of thousands of years old, she would definitely throw up her dinner from the night before.

amount.

Why would I think about this?

Lin Xi's vision went black, and she couldn't help but slap herself.

I feel like my thoughts have gone astray.

Just then, Lin Xi sensed something, and her expression changed slightly.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then left the tent with a hint of trepidation.
