Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 998

Chapter 959: Ten years later, the Zhu Xian storm has begun!

In the vast southern wilderness, a series of green mountains stand tall.

The mountain is not high, but it is full of spiritual energy. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, as well as natural treasures.

At this moment, in a valley, the space suddenly fluctuated, and then a crack appeared in the space, and a disheveled figure rushed out from the crack.

A woman in white rushed out. She looked to be in her thirties and still had some charm. However, her hair was messy and her clothes were torn.

“That was a close call!” Gu Manying let out a long sigh and patted his broad chest. He was still frightened when he thought of the previous scene.

Her name is Gu Manying, the grand elder of the Wanxian Sect in the Wudang Realm.

Ten years ago, the rules of heaven and earth changed drastically. Any cultivator who reached the realm of celestial being would be attracted by the force of heaven and earth, break through the sky, and go to another upper realm to continue practicing, which was called ascension.

However, except for the first batch of cultivators whose cultivation was already above the celestial realm and who ascended to heaven, those who came later still had to go through a heavenly tribulation if they wanted to ascend.

If you can resist, you can break through the boundary and ascend.

If you can’t resist, you won’t die, but your cultivation will be greatly reduced and you will inevitably be seriously injured.

As one of the eight major sects in the Wudang Realm, the Wanxian Sect naturally has many predecessors who have ascended to heaven, so Gu Manying is no stranger to the matter of ascension.

According to the information passed down by the predecessors, there is an almighty force in the upper realm named Hongchen Palace. Under Hongchen Palace there is a Welcoming Immortal Platform. All those who ascend from all realms will first be led to the Welcoming Immortal Platform, registered and given proof of identity before they can be considered as true people of the upper realm.

But when she was about to ascend, some unexpected events occurred.

Lei Yuan, the leader of Pingying Sect, one of the eight major sects in Wudang Realm, has an only son who is arrogant and domineering. Many years ago, this son ruined the bodies of eight virgin girls in one night, and was bumped into by Gu Manying. Gu Manying took into consideration Lei Yuan’s identity and did not kill him, but cut off his reproductive organs as a warning.

Afterwards, Lei Yuan personally wrote a letter to Gu Manying, expressing his sincere gratitude for sparing his son’s life.

But Gu Manying had no idea that Lei Yuan doted on his own son. Seeing that his son had become a eunuch, he was naturally furious.

It’s just that the Wanxian Sect is stronger than the Pingying Sect, so Lei Yuan has no chance of revenge.

He had been suppressing his cultivation and finally waited for the day when Gumanying ascended to heaven.

He ascended at the same time as Guman Ying was facing the calamity and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Guman Ying. The fight between the two caused the reception ritual to go wrong, so Guman Ying appeared in this southern wilderness.

“Let’s find my uncle and the others first, and then make plans.” Gu Manying planned in her mind.

The predecessors of the Wanxian Sect who ascended to heaven before had already passed on the message that they had already laid a foundation in the upper world. Because the name “Wanxian Sect” was too big, they did not dare to use it in the upper world for fear of taboo, so they named it “Feixian Sect”. Because there were eight immortals who ascended to heaven in the sect, they did have some reputation in the upper world.

First find the Feixian Sect, then ask the elders to contact the Hongchen Palace and sort out the identity issue. Then you will have no worries and can practice in the upper realm with peace of mind.

Gu Manying looked at her own miserable appearance again and sighed.

How can you meet your elders with such appearance?

When ascending, you cannot carry storage magic tools, but it is not difficult to find a town and get a set of clothes.

While thinking, Gu Manying followed the sound of water and found a small river in the mountains. She scanned the surroundings with her mind and found no one, so she took off her torn clothes and entered the pool, intending to wash herself thoroughly.

But just as Gu Manying entered the water, he suddenly frowned, and his magic power transformed into a cloud of mist to cover his body, and shouted in a low voice into the water: “Who are you, little thief? Come out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow shot out of the water like a sharp sword. It turned out to be a boy who looked about ten years old.

The little boy was only wearing a pair of shorts. He stood with his hands on his waist, looking at Gu Manying in the river, frowning and asking, “Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”

Seeing that it was a young boy, Gu Manying immediately relaxed his vigilance and said with a smile, “Your home? I heard that if a mountain or river has an owner, there must be a formation there. I don’t sense any formation here.”

When the little boy heard this, he felt as if something sad had been touched upon, and he muttered softly, “If we can’t stop the formation of A Niang and Er Niang, what’s the point of coming here…”

Ignoring the little boy’s muttering, Gu Manying quickly returned to the shore, put her clothes back on, and then looked at the other person carefully. This look was not a big deal, but it gave Gu Manying a fright.

The little boy is not very old, but he has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. There is a sharp energy condensed between his eyebrows. His blood is powerful, like a roaring river and as vast as the ocean. His aura is all restrained and not visible on the outside.

This… this is a rare fairy seedling that only appears once in ten thousand years!
Gu Manying was immediately attracted.

After all, she was the Grand Elder of the Wanxian Sect, so she naturally knew what benefits a disciple with superior qualifications could bring to the sect. Now that the elders were establishing the Feixian Sect in the upper realm, it was a good time to recruit talents.

For a moment, Gu Manying was moved by her love for talent.

However, Gu Manying also understood that in the Wudang Realm, whoever she favored would be blessed for the rest of his life, but in this upper realm, one still had to be low-key.

“Little guy, you said this is your home, tell me, where is this place? What is your name?” Gu Manying decided to get close to him first.

“This place… is called Evil Dragon Mountain!” Seeing Gu Manying’s kind smile, the little boy also walked to a tree, took out a set of clothes from the tree hole, and replied while putting them on, “My name is Chen Yunhai.”

“Chen Yunhai?” Gu Manying remembered the name, walked up to him, and said, “Yunhai, do you have a master?”

“Master?” Chen Yunhai was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to answer, a voice suddenly called out from not far away, “Wuhu… Wuhu…”

Chen Yunhai’s face changed, and he immediately said to Gu Manying: “Auntie, my sister is here, just say you haven’t seen me!”

As he spoke, Chen Yunhai dived back into the water and sank quickly.

Just as Gu Manying was wondering, she saw a green ox carrying a pretty little girl walking in.

The little girl on the green ox looked to be about ten years old, with fair skin, wearing a white dress, her hair tied up in a high ponytail, her eyes moving and her look bright and lively.

When she saw this girl, Gu Manying’s eyes suddenly lit up.

In the Wudang world, Gu Haitang, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Wudang, is her best friend. But in her opinion, although this girl is still young, her appearance is not inferior to Gu Haitang.

This was only the first glance. Gu Manying took a second look and couldn’t help but gasp.

Just like the little boy before, his background was as vast as the river and the sea. This little girl, if you look closely, it’s as if you can see the entire starry sky.

“Lost?” The little girl rode a cow to Gu Manying and looked at her. “Were you robbed?”

Looking at the little girl sitting on the cow’s back and asking herself, Gu Manying suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She actually felt a hint of pressure from a superior on the little girl.

“Something unexpected happened.” Gu Manying said with a smile, and then asked, “Little sister, why are you here in this desolate mountain?”

“Looking for my brother.” The little girl sighed, “Auntie, have you ever seen a little boy about my age who is very cocky?”

Gu Manying’s eyes fell on the water surface and said with a smile, “I haven’t seen it before.”

“Oh, thank you, ma’am.” The little girl jumped off the cow and patted the green cow’s belly. The green cow shook its tail and walked into the water.

After letting the cattle go into the water, the little girl didn’t pay any more attention to it. Instead, she looked at Gu Manying and said, “If you get lost, I can take you to the nearest city.”

“Thank you.” Gu Manying sighed. If it was just the little boy, there might be a chance of missing out. But now that she saw the girl again, she knew in her heart that this brother and sister were definitely not ordinary people.

But even if I can’t accept him as my disciple, it won’t be a loss to win him over.

At this time, Gu Manying regretted that she did not bring the storage treasure with her, and she could not take out any treasure for a while. Suddenly, she saw that the other party was wearing a white jade bracelet on his hand, which looked of ordinary quality.

Gu Manying immediately took off a purple jade bracelet from her hand and said with a smile, “I am Gu Manying from Feixian Sect. I must repay the kindness you have shown me today. This is the purple jade bracelet that I have been refining for ten years. It has the effect of calming the mind, so I am giving it to you, little sister.”

Seeing the other party handing her the bracelet, the girl waved her hand quickly: “No need, no need…”

Just as Chen Xingzhu was refusing, there was a sudden splash in the water nearby, and then Chen Yunhai was pushed up by the green bull with his pants hanging on its horns.

“Chen Xingzhu! Are you done yet?” Chen Yunhai shouted, “Believe it or not, I will go to Er Niang to complain!”

“Whatever!” Chen Xingzhu said calmly, “Do you think I don’t know that you set up a roadblock at the foot of the mountain to collect protection fees? Mother may not punish you, but I can tell my aunt about this, and you can just wait to be put in solitary confinement in the Zulong Holy Residence.”

Chen Xingzhu turned his head and looked at Chen Yunhai, with lightning flashing in his eyes: “Say it again, what are you going to do?”

Chen Yunhai was put ashore by Qingniu. Looking at Chen Xingzhu’s appearance, he knelt down with a plop.

“Sister, I was wrong.”

Gu Manying frowned slightly. Just when Chen Xingzhu tilted his head, a shadow of a white tiger seemed to flash by.

“Miss, let’s go. I’ll take you there…” Chen Xingzhu had just said half of her words when suddenly a loud shout rang out in the air.

“Hahaha, Gumanying, I found you!”

The next moment, a sharp blade light split the space and fell towards where Gu Manying was.

“Thunder Yuan!”

Gu Manying was shocked. The next moment, she subconsciously protected Chen Xingzhu behind her and used all her magic power to block the knife light.

But then, a white halo enveloped her, and the knife light hit the halo and shattered on its own.

Gu Manying was stunned for a moment, and then the halo shrank, and fell back onto Chen Xingzhu’s wrist in Gu Manying’s astonished eyes, turning into the white bracelet that looked ordinary in her eyes.

“Hmm?” At this time, the space was torn apart, and the almost crazy Lei Yuan walked out of the void. He glanced down and his eyes fell on Chen Xingzhu.

“Lei Yuan, this is our business, don’t involve the child.” Gu Manying said. In his opinion, the resistance just now should be the automatic response of the treasure, but it should not be launched a second time in a short time. “You want to fight to the death, I will grant you your wish!”

As she said this, Gu Manying was about to lead Lei Yuan away, but just as she was about to do so, Chen Xingzhu reached out and pulled her back.

“Little girls, you should go back quickly. This is your lady’s private matter.” Gu Manying smiled gently.

Chen Xingzhu shook his head, looked at Lei Yuan, and said, “In the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you are not allowed to take action in the real world. Don’t you know that?”

Lei Yuan frowned and sneered, “Little girl, you may have an extraordinary family background, but right now, it is not difficult for me to kill you.”

“Get away from me if you know what’s best for you.”

Hearing Lei Yuan’s threat, Chen Xingzhu hadn’t said anything yet, but Chen Yunhai jumped up first: “How dare you threaten my sister!”

The next moment, a small knife appeared in Chen Yunhai’s hand, and then Chen Yunhai put the knife against his neck.

“If you don’t take action, I will!”

Chen Xingzhu smiled lightly. Just as Gu Manying was wondering, a dragon roar suddenly sounded in the void.

“Little King Yuan, calm down!”

“Little King Yuan, let’s take action, let’s take action!”

“Little King Yuan, put down the knife!”

As the dragon roars sounded, figures walked out from the void and instantly surrounded the thunder element. The majestic aura rushed straight into the sky.

“Five celestial immortals, all of them are in the middle stage of celestial immortal!” This scene instantly stunned Gu Manying and also made Lei Yuan a little confused.

“Okay, okay, put the knife down. I won’t tell you about your affairs.” Chen Xingzhu glanced at Chen Yunhai and said lightly. Chen Yunhai immediately put down the dagger in his hand happily.

“Seniors, please send this man to the Red Dust Palace.” Chen Xingzhu shouted, and the leading Dragon King bowed and said, “I will follow Princess Zhao’s orders.”

“Princess Zhao?” Gu Manying looked at Chen Xingzhu.

Chen Xingzhu got on the cow’s back again, and Chen Yunhai also sat on the cow’s back obediently.

“Let’s go, Auntie, I’ll take you to the nearest city.” Chen Xingzhu smiled at Gu Manying and walked out of the mountain. Gu Manying reacted and quickly followed.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but turn her head back, and saw that Lei Yuan, who had been like a madman before, had been sealed by several powerful celestial beings and was flying towards the horizon.

“Is the upper realm so terrifying?” Gu Manying let out a long sigh.

But what Gu Manying would never know was that at this moment, seeing that Chen Xingzhu was not in danger, dozens of hidden celestial auras quietly dissipated.

Also disappearing was the old father’s gaze.

…

“They have grown up…” In Fangcun Mountain, Chen Luo looked at Xiao Aowu and Xiao Wuhu on the magic screen and smiled happily.

A few years ago, Yun Zhongzi transferred those who were closely related to Chen Luo and stayed in Yuqing Realm to Zixiao Palace in batches. As Chen Luo continued to refine the world of creation, he maintained the flow of time between the universe and the outside world.

Ten years have passed since the last time I entered Zixiao Palace. The same is true in the Great Thousand World, also about ten years.

“Yes, they come to see you from time to time. They lie by the window and dare not disturb you.” Yun Siyao rubbed Chen Luo’s shoulders and said, “Do you want me to call them back?”

“No…” Chen Luo shook his head. “There are too many people to meet this time. Let’s wait until everything is settled.”

Yun Siyao nodded gently and asked, “Can we condense the Shadow of Fortune of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian now?”

“Golden Immortal Nine Tribulations, it should be possible…” Chen Luo nodded, “This destiny has been stuck, maybe it will take another chance.”

“Ten years, from the third tribulation to the ninth tribulation golden immortal, is already an unprecedented thing. You still want to improve it one step further? It’s not good to be greedy…” Yun Siyao said with a smile.

“More than just luck, I hope to become a saint in one step.” Chen Luo held Yun Siyao’s hand, “Only then can we have a truly peaceful life!”

Yun Siyao nodded gently: “We all understand, go ahead.”

Chen Luo smiled and closed his eyes again. The next moment, his figure disappeared in the study.

…

Purple Sky Palace.

Chen Luo woke up in a palace. The moment he opened his eyes, Nezha and Yang Jian, who had been guarding the palace, also cast their eyes over to him.

“Nine Tribulations? That’s so fast…” Nezha sensed the aura from Chen Luo and sighed.

“The Emperor of Man refines the world. This is what the world is looking forward to.” Yang Jian nodded. “Brother Chen, can we start now?”

Chen Luo smiled, nodded, picked up the brush that had been put to rest for several years, re-condensed a new page of Spring and Autumn, and began to write –

“Chapter 78: The Three Religions Destroy the Immortal Execution Formation!”

…

Since the last time I wrote about Luo Xuan burning down Xiqi City, the Conferred God War has entered a white-hot stage, starting with Yin Jiao’s death and then Kong Xuan’s participation in the battle, with all the major monks taking turns to fight. Until the story reaches its climax: Guangchengzi visits the Biyou Palace for the third time.

It is said that Guangchengzi used the Fantian Seal to kill the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and then went to the Biyou Palace to return the treasure. This is simply disgusting and extremely ironic.

It was this one move that dragged down the sage Tongtian, who had been sitting firmly on the throne, and thus revealed the most magnificent scene in the Investiture of the Gods:

Zhu Xian Sword Formation!

In the previous article, no decent treasures were condensed. After all, Guangchengzi himself was in the Zixiao Palace. Regarding his role in the book, Guangchengzi said that it was not majestic enough, but seeing that Wu Dang was about to draw his sword, Guangchengzi still kept his mouth shut.

As for Kong Xuan, this peacock is now in the Western Pure Land of Bliss, so naturally he didn’t gain anything.

It can be said that the greatest gain in the past ten years, apart from Chen Luo’s advancement to the ninth level of the Golden Immortal, is that Zhao Gongming and Empress Yunxiao regained the realm of creation with the help of the Dinghai Pearl and the Hunyuan Golden Bowl.

…

Chen Luo wrote furiously and soon finished this new chapter. Immediately, the new page of the Spring and Autumn Annals began to vibrate. The next moment, a phantom of a Tai Chi diagram appeared on the new page of the Spring and Autumn Annals, suppressing the vibration of the new page. Then, a colorful aura that was more turbulent than any previous time was generated from the new page of the Spring and Autumn Annals, which contained a large amount of the power of creation.

Soon, the colorful mist rolled back, and a formation appeared on the new page of the Spring and Autumn Period. The formation was divided into four sides: east, south, west and north. There was a high platform on each side. On each platform, the shadow of a sword began to slowly emerge.

The next moment, a song of the great way sounded in the palace—

It is neither copper, iron nor steel. It was once hidden under Mount Sumeru.

If you don’t need to reverse yin and yang to refine it, how can you not temper it with water and fire?

Killing immortals is beneficial, killing immortals is fatal, trapping immortals will cause red light to appear everywhere.

The transformations of the immortal are infinite and wonderful, and the clothes of the great immortal are stained with blood.

As the song of the great way sounded, the shadows of four ancient swords slowly condensed on the high platform, and for a moment the palace was filled with murderous aura.

Then, several figures appeared in the palace. The great magician Xuandu took a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on the four ancient swords of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, his face showing great joy.

“good!”

“I’ll wait, there’s hope!”

…

At the same time, the Western Pure Land of Bliss.

The Buddha Jie Yin slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes, he seemed to see a new world, but this sight passed through this world and spread outward. Finally, the shadow of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation appeared in his sight.

“The whereabouts of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian have been discovered…”
