Chapter 108: The Nine Dragons Umbrella of Xuan and Huang

  The second update!

  ——

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The majestic aura of the guardian earth surged and churned, like a mountain range standing tall, as if millions of stars were converging. Within a three-zhang radius, the massive handprint of the Star-Devouring Great Hand Technique continuously smashed out over a dozen enormous craters on the ground and mountain peaks, leaving a trail of breathtaking destruction.

  Mountain shaking.

  The earth burst open.

  In an instant, Chen Yu felt as if he possessed infinite destructive power, and with a slight pinch, he could crush the stars and burst the sun and moon.

  Of course, this is an illusion, unless one reaches the ultimate truth of the universe and understands the fundamental laws of nature, no one has the divine power to destroy stars and suns.

  However, the power of "Stardust Great Hand Seal" was also seen by Chen Yu, with a slap, the ground collapsed, thick earth burst, and rocky peaks crumbled inch by inch, its power was unimaginable.

  This is just what he has just practiced, the Star Big Handprint is only three feet in range, and it's not even a small achievement. As his cultivation improves, this ancient divine technique passed down from the Cave Master will become even more terrifying!

  "The spiritual energy of the earth is abundant and intense here, it's simply endless. Cultivating here is in no way inferior to cultivating with Star Core Stones. I must seize the time and improve my cultivation!"

  "And this border of the earthly realm is the first trial ground of the Heavenly Peak, according to Seasonal Yu's words. Here, three days have passed, but only one day has passed in the outside world. Time flows slowly, and it's as if it's helping with cultivation in a way that defies heaven."

  "With half a year's time left before the Dragon Abyss's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition next year, if I cultivate here during this half year, it would be equivalent to cultivating for one and a half years, enough to let me advance my cultivation by another realm!"

  Chen Xuan was thinking to himself, during the Pre-Heavenly Boundary stage, cultivating would allow him to increase his physical strength a bit, but he didn't know how much Stellar Power he needed to absorb, it was extremely difficult. But when he reached the Violet Palace Boundary, condensing and transforming his spiritual energy, his power could be infinitely increased, this was the benefit of refining his body at the Violet Palace stage.

  "Oh, and there's one more thing I forgot."

  Chen Xiao slapped his forehead, and with a sudden movement, his body vanished into thin air.

  "Seasonal elder." Standing on the banks of the vast river, Chen Tang shouted loudly.

  Wow!

  A flash of light came flying from the river water, Chen Tang stretched out his hand to grab it, and to his surprise, it was a jade slip.

  "This is the gong method of the Zi Fu realm in 'Zhou Tian Xing Lie Ci Ti Zhi Shu', take it and cultivate well, I am currently casting a spell to help Jian Hun and Geng Jin Jian Zhu merge spirits, if there's nothing important, don't come disturb me."

  Chen Yao had previously obtained the "Zhou Tian Xing Lian Ti Zhi Shu" which only recorded the cultivation method for advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm, but there was no record of the cultivation method for the nine layers of the Purple Mansion.

  He came to visit Ji Yu at this moment, and it was for this reason that he didn't expect Ji Yu to have already guessed his intention. Before he could even open his mouth, Ji Yu had already thrown out the Gong Fa Jade Strip. Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a slight daze, and a warm feeling surged up in his heart. It seemed that Senior Ji Yu had been paying attention to my cultivation all along.

  Whoosh!

  The next moment, Chen Xiao reappeared in the first trial of Tianfeng. After passing this trial, he could come and go freely within it.

  "The Heavenly Star Slaying and Refining Body Technique" - the Ninefold Purple Mansion, is to open up micro-apertures on the body's skin, condensing into nine talismanic patterns. The technique is also divided into nine chapters: Earth Talisman Chapter, Wood Talisman Chapter, Metal Talisman Chapter, Fire Talisman Chapter, Water Talisman Chapter... and so on.

  "It turns out that the 'Stardust Great Handprint' is complementary to the 'Zhou Tian Xing Lian Body Technique', and only when combined can they exert their powerful force... What a close call! If I hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Stardust Great Handprint in the Border of Earth earlier, I would have been left with eternal regret."

  Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Chen Xuan saw the contents of the manual and was shocked in his heart.

  The Xīng Dǒu Great Hand Seal's first heavy boundary is the Jiāo Tǔ realm, which resonates with the Jiāo Tǔ Wū pattern from afar. The deeper and thicker the Jiāo Tǔ Wū power, the more formidable the Xīng Dǒu Great Hand Seal becomes.

  The same ——

  The second heavy wooden border, echoing with the wooden witch pattern.

  The third heavy Geng Jin boundary, and Geng Jin witch pattern resonate with each other.

  ……

  It can be said that in order to cultivate the Shentong Xingdou Dabehn Yin to perfection, one cannot leave out the cultivation of the "Zhou Tian Xing Lie Jian Ti Zhi Shu"!

  Wow!

  Chen Tuo let out a long sigh of relief, feeling very fortunate. He had obtained two manuals: one for Body Refining and the other for Spiritual Communication. Both were now in his possession, and he would no longer have to worry about lacking either one.

  "Heaven and earth, five elements, earth, thick virtue to carry things, gathering the origin of all things..." Chen Xiao began to meditate without further delay.

  In the yellow earthy sky, only he had a figure, silently sitting cross-legged, gradually, his figure merged with the surrounding sky, earth, and mountains. The earthly energy between heaven and earth surged towards him, pouring into the vertebrae, transforming into a stream of witchcraft power flowing through his flesh and skin.

  Everything is so quiet.

  ——

  At the time when Chen Xiao was cultivating, at the edge of the vast desert and the border with Rongdi grassland, Su Dingyi and six other Su family Huangting cultivators became increasingly irritable.

  "I can't take it anymore! If I have to wait like this, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!" The big fat man in the red robe and shaved head suddenly roared out loud, breaking the dull atmosphere.

  "Ding Wei, with a temperament like yours, you won't even reach the middle stage of Huang Ting in another ten years!" Su Ding's eyebrows furrowed and he coldly swept his gaze past, rebuking.

  Huangting boundary, is to extract the yin and yang of heaven and earth, refine the body's true yuan through tempering and pounding, making yin and yang blend together, dragon and tiger give birth to each other, divided into four levels: initial stage, middle stage, late stage, and great perfection. Obviously, a red-robed bald fat man named Su Dingwei is at the level of Huangting initial boundary.

  Su Dingwei seemed to be intimidated by Su Dingyi's power and pursed his lips, no longer daring to complain.

  "Has the message been sent out through the Soft Whip Master's sister? Is there any news from the family?" Su Ding asked, his gaze shifting to fall on the beautiful woman.

  "It has been rumored that the clan leader has dispatched Su Leng to come here, and it is likely that he will arrive in a few days." Su Ding Ruo said slowly.

  Master Su is so cool!

  At these words, everyone else's expression changed in unison.

  Longyuan Su family, as one of the six major families, can rival the eight great sects and three universities, not only because of its large population, but also because there are more than a dozen two-yi golden elixir boundary elders sitting in the family, this is the foundation of the Su family's survival, these elders will not die, the Su family will be unshakeable!

  They are just the backbone of Huangting, and only by entering the Two Instruments Golden Elixir realm can they become Su family elders, grasp a part of power, and have an extremely high status.

  Su Leng was a two-instrument golden elixir cultivator and also one of the elders of the Su family, with a mighty reputation!

  "How could it be him..." Su Dingwei's voice unconsciously became weaker, obviously, towards Su Leng this elder, he had a considerable amount of resentment and apprehension in his heart.

  "How dare you! Your attitude is a great disrespect to Master Su Leng, if you speak nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Su Ding rebuked in a deep voice.

  In fact, Su Dingyi was also unhappy in his heart. Su Leng originally had the same cultivation as them and was a Huangting cultivator of the "Ding" generation of the Su family. His identity and status were even inferior to that of several people.

  However, this situation changed completely half a year ago.

  Na Su Leng unexpectedly entered a mysterious ancient ruin during an excursion, and no one knew how much benefit he gained. However, when he returned to his family, his cultivation had advanced from the initial stage of Huang Ting to the Two Instruments Golden Elixir Realm! This matter instantly shocked the entire family, and his status rose with it, entering the ranks of the elders and becoming the youngest among them. He became a legendary figure admired by countless young men in the Su family.

  This time, Su Dingwei was scolded, but he didn't remain silent. His fat face was full of discontent: "Pursuing and killing Chen Tai, it was originally a matter for the six of us brothers to handle. If we succeeded, we could have shared most of the treasures that this kid obtained from the Sword Immortal's cave mansion. Now that Su Leng has arrived, aren't we just pouring water into a bamboo basket, getting nothing in return?"

  "Su Leng Shifu... shouldn't be eating alone, right?" A middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows whispered beside him.

  "You don't know? Su Dingyuan, don't think that we are unaware of the things you've been doing to curry favor with Su Leng in secret!" Su Dingwei said with a face full of disdain.

  "How dare you!" Su Dingyuan was furious.

  "Am I spitting blood at people? Do you want me to take out some evidence for you to see?" Su Dingwei argued back, his words sharp and forceful.

  "You..." Su Dingyuan's chest heaved with rage, but his momentum had clearly weakened somewhat. Obviously, Su Dingwei's words had struck a sore spot.

  "Shut up!" Seeing this, Su Dingyi, who was silent beside him, suddenly shouted coldly, "Do you have me, your elder brother, in your eyes? Hmph, all day long you know how to fight openly and secretly, the entire Su family is being ruined by you bunch of troublemakers!"

  Su Dingwei and Su Dingyuan glared at each other, then sullenly shut their mouths.

  "However, Brother Ding Yi, we can't let our guard down on this matter either. What if Master Su Leng comes and takes all the treasures from that kid? Wouldn't we have been busy for nothing? If word gets out within the family, where would we put our faces?" The voice was soft and gentle, but the person himself was a robust and powerful man.

  "Ah, Brother Dinglong is right, I'm also worried about this point." The middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance, who had not spoken until now, nodded slowly.

  These two men, one named Su Dinglong and the other named Su Dingkong, among these six people, only they spoke the least, all along silently, only when it involved their own interests did they speak up one after another.

  Su Dingyi saw that the two men with deep thoughts had also spoken up, and he no longer held back his posture. With a bitter smile, he said: "I'm also having a headache about this. If it were in the past, I could still step forward to stop them, but now Su Leng is already one of the elders of my Su family, with a vastly superior status. If he wants to swallow all the treasures, I am also powerless to stop him."

  "Unexpectedly, I, Su Leng, have actually given Master Big Brother a headache. What a surprise!"

  Just then, from a great distance away, accompanied by an icy voice, a hundred-meter-long rainbow light flew over, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared right in front of the six people.

  He was a youth in black, with lips as thin as a knife's edge and a face as cold as frost. His entire being was like an astonishingly sharp sword, and the aura emanating from his body caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten miles to become disordered and scattered.

  "Nice to meet you, Master Su Leng!" Seeing the young man in black, Su Dingyi and the other five people stiffened all over, hastily got up, and bowed to greet him.

  "Hmph!" Su Leng swept a glance at the six people, especially taking an extra look at Su Dingyi, before slowly saying: "Rest assured, I've come this time only to assist you six in capturing Chen Xiaozei, as for any treasure, I, Su Leng, couldn't care less!"

  Su Dingyi and the other five people exchanged a glance, although they felt Su Leng's words were extremely harsh, but in their hearts, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Not fighting for the treasure? That would be even better!

  "I heard that little thief has entered the vast desert, indeed extremely bold, but I've also been prepared early on, not fearing the sandstorm's invasion."

  As he spoke, Su Leng casually tossed out a large umbrella that suddenly rose into the air and transformed into a canopy covering an area of over ten zhang, enveloping everyone.

  This umbrella-like treasure, with a body of golden light spreading all over, has its surface painted with countless spiritual lights flashing talismans, nine golden pythons swimming in it, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible, emitting infinite might.

  Nine Yellow Dragons Umbrella!

  Su Dingyi and the other six people were shocked, and immediately a thread of intense heat flowed out from their eyes. This Yellow Heaven Nine Dragon Umbrella was a middle-grade treasure, forged with Tai Bai Xuan Huang Iron as its frame, and sealed with the souls of nine thousand-year-old evil dragons on top. The nine dragons connected, forming an extremely astonishing defense.

  Its value alone can rival over a million kilograms of spiritual liquid!

  "Let's go, I still have a furnace of elixir that is being refined. Catching this little guy, I must hurry back." Su Leng waved his sleeve, and a piece of cloud dozens of feet in range lifted everyone up, quickly rushing towards the vast desert!
