Chapter 17: Xuanjian Unlocks New Features! Reissue!
Inside Chen Xuan's room, the essence of the innate Yi wood gushed out, transforming into a misty green vapor that circled the beam three times.
Then a fire suddenly appeared, its red flames blazing, yet it did not burn clothes or set fire to the roof beams; it merely swirled within the blue mist, a truly wondrous sight.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, merging the essence of the Yi Wood with his own immortal power.
The two energies of wood and fire complement each other, entering the dantian, flowing through the meridians, and nourishing the whole body, just like a long-awaited rain after a drought. Every pore on the body opens up, greedily absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
A night passed in the blink of an eye, and the eastern sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.
Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with golden light that shot straight at the roof beam before disappearing.
He stood up, stretched, and felt his bones cracking all over. After a night of arduous practice, he felt not tired or exhausted at all, but rather full of energy and high spirits.
He tried to circulate his magic power. The true immortal magic power in his body was originally like a trickle, but now, after being tempered by the divine fire of Yi wood, it turned into a raging river, rushing and roaring, with an ever-growing momentum.
"To advance to the mid-stage of True Immortal in just one night of cultivation—this Fusang Divine Tree is truly miraculous!"
As Chen Xuan spoke, he raised his hand and clenched it, the innate energies of wood and fire swirling around his fingers, condensing and not dissipating. A powerful pressure surpassing that of a true immortal suddenly burst forth, causing the window frame to creak and the spiritual energy in the room to surge like a tide.
A slight smirk played on his lips; he was quite pleased with himself.
After all, it only refined a small portion of the essence of the Fusang Divine Tree, yet it had such a miraculous effect.
Once all of it is refined, it's simply unimaginable.
At that time...
The Golden Immortal realm can be achieved!
But Chen Xuan knew that one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. You can't get fat in one bite, and you can't reach the sky in one step.
Although that section of the Fusang Divine Tree was just a withered branch, it contained immense energy. If one were to greedily refine it in one go, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing, and might even backfire.
Cultivation can be addictive.
Having tasted the benefits, Chen Xuan still wanted to go into seclusion to continue refining and improving his cultivation.
Unexpectedly.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside Wansui City, forcing him to abandon his cultivation.
--------
At this moment, outside the city of Wansui.
A young man with a face like jade, eyes like cold stars, and a white robe that exuded a majestic and awe-inspiring presence stood proudly in the air.
This person held a jade fan that folded in the breeze, and had a divine eye mark branded on his forehead. He was naturally proud and imposing.
Like a god descending to earth!
The person who came was none other than Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, Yang Jian, from Guanjiang Estuary!
"Hmph, does that Fox King look down on me? Why doesn't he greet me personally, but instead sends a mere celestial demon like you? What an arrogant attitude!"
"I will not waste words with you. Quickly hand over my sister Yang Chan, or your Wansui City will cease to exist!"
As Yang Jian spoke indifferently, he looked down at the Jade-Faced Princess below. Divine markings flickered on her forehead, revealing a wide-open vertical eye with divine light like lightning. Her awe-inspiring immortal power was overwhelming, causing the demons in Wansui City to tremble in fear.
The story goes that Yang Jian, having nothing to do after leaving Guanjiangkou, went to visit relatives at Mount Hua. There, he encountered a local earth god who reported to the True Lord that the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan and a patrolling celestial being were investigating a case of demonic disturbance and had not yet returned.
After investigating along the way, Yang Jian arrived at Wansui City and mistakenly believed that his sister Yang Chan and the patrolling gods had been ambushed and were like lambs to the slaughter.
Desperate to save his sister, he didn't think things through and immediately came to Wansui City to demand an explanation.
Upon reaching the city wall, Yang Jian saw that amidst the pervasive demonic aura, there was indeed a trace of his own sister's Daoist aura, which further convinced him that Yang Chan had fallen into a demon's lair.
Enraged, he unleashed the supreme power of Erlang Shen, intending to crush Wansui City into dust.
No matter how Princess Jade Face explained, it was all in vain!
Just then, the Fox King was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the realm of immortality.
With the city now without a ruler, Princess Jade Face had no choice but to take up the mantle and deal with Yang Jian.
Unfortunately, Yu Mian's cultivation was low, and her words carried little weight; Yang Jian simply ignored her 'demonic words'.
"My Lord, please calm your anger. We are all law-abiding demons who have never committed any heinous acts, nor have we detained the Third Holy Mother and that Xuan Tian Little Mage. They were merely guests staying overnight in the city. Please, My Lord, investigate thoroughly!"
"I have already sent someone to invite those two..."
Seeing that Yang Jian had completely lost his patience and was truly enraged, Princess Jade Face panicked completely, her beautiful face turned pale, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
But before she could finish speaking...
Yang Jian held his folding fan horizontally, and with a flick of his wrist, a golden light slashed down!
"Splash—"
The golden light, carrying the power to split the heavens and earth, crashed down directly towards Princess Jade Face.
Princess Jade Face cried out in alarm, her face turning deathly pale, for there was no way to avoid it.
At the critical moment, in the blink of an eye, between life and death.
A beam of divine light descended from the sky, transforming into a Yin-Yang talisman that condensed into a light curtain that enveloped the area.
It is indeed the Yin-Yang Microcosmic Dust Talisman!
Followed by.
With a loud "bang," the golden light crashed into the light screen and vanished instantly, unleashing a violent hurricane that sent sand and stones flying and countless plants and trees bending in the wind.
Princess Jade Face cried out and flew backward, but fortunately a vast celestial figure caught her in its arms.
The person who arrived was none other than Chen Xuan!
He felt a warm, soft body in his arms, with a slender waist and a smooth, warm touch.
Looking down, he saw Princess Jade Face staring at him with her beautiful, watery eyes, like a startled fawn, her gaze filled with tender emotions.
His eyes were practically drooling!
"This is... the Taiqing Sage's spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Microcosm Talisman?!"
Yang Jian's starry eyes locked onto the black and white energy flowing around the talisman, faintly reminiscent of the Daoist aura of the Supreme Saint. He couldn't help but feel a chill. Then, he scrutinized Chen Xuan, noticing his handsome face, blue robes, and calm aura, yet subtly exuding the pressure of a True Immortal. He coldly questioned, "Who comes here?"
As far as he knew, the Sage Taiqing had previously bestowed treasures upon his disciple, allowing his second disciple, who was also his junior uncle, to enter the Heavenly Court to receive his title and descend to the mortal realm to undergo trials and tribulations.
However, it is rumored that the Xuan Tian Little Master is not just a mere Earth Immortal.
This person is completely different from the true immortal cultivator before him; their styles are vastly different!
While pondering, Yang Jian misunderstood again.
It is now completely clear that the demons in this Longevity City are ruthless and cruel, committing murder and robbery!
Good heavens, they even dare to mess with the personal disciple of the Supreme Sage?
These demons are truly audacious!
Chen Xuan originally intended to offer a proper explanation and resolve the conflict peacefully.
Unexpectedly.
Just then, the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror hidden within his Purple Mansion suddenly flashed with divine light, and several large, golden characters appeared out of thin air before Chen Xuan's eyes—
[Currently replicating Erlang Shen Yang Jian's supernatural power, the Eight-Nine Arcane Skill...]
"????"
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He was initially stunned, his face showing astonishment and surprise.
Then he was overjoyed and ecstatic!
This was the first time he had encountered the other functions of the Mysterious Mirror, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and amazed.
"I never imagined that this Xuanjian could replicate other people's Daoist techniques and supernatural abilities?! Perhaps..."
While others get gold coins and equipment from defeating monsters, Chen Xuan got a cultivation technique!
Amidst a surge of thoughts, he suppressed his excitement and subconsciously glanced at Yang Jian not far away, a sly glint in his eyes.
