Chapter 129: Accepting the Demon's Kindness
Update 2! It's the weekend, I beg of you to collect and thank you first.
——
Divine Thought!
Chen Xiao suddenly understood that just a moment ago, his divine soul had transformed to a brand new level.
Generally speaking, post-heavenly cultivators cultivate their overall bodily sensations.
Innate masters can condense perception and comprehend the universe.
Zifu Xiu Shi, transform thought power, can manipulate magical treasures.
Huang Ting Xiushi then molded his spiritual thoughts and was able to further comprehend the mysteries of Heaven's Way.
The two instruments of the Golden Elixir practitioner then merge and penetrate yin and yang, the two instruments intersecting, able to condense out a divine thought. The divine thought combines with the original destiny golden elixir, able to display inconceivable wondrous uses.
And above the state of Nirvana, it is the divine consciousness, which is also the power of the divine soul in the process of cultivation in heaven and earth, and can reach the highest level. It is said that during the ascension to immortality, the power of divine consciousness can be further transformed. However, such a realm is too far away, think about it, since ancient times, how many people have been able to ascend to immortality?
"I am now in the Purple Mansion Realm, but I already possess a divine sense of power comparable to that of a Two Instrument Golden Dan Realm cultivator. Moreover, I'm just one step away from cultivating 'Divine Awareness', it's truly unbelievable."
Chen Ting took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and when he saw the beautiful young man beside Bei Heng, he suddenly realized what had happened earlier, it was all because of this person, and his heart couldn't help but fluctuate again.
With the natural and effortless aura emanating from all over his body, he can bring people into a deep state of meditation. What kind of cultivation has he reached?
Chen Xiao felt that he had been shocked too many times today, it was simply the most in his seventeen years. First, he met Wen Xuan, a true man of Minghua who was one head higher than Nirvana, then he saw Bei Heng, the Supreme Elder, who was one head higher than the True Man of Minghua. Now, another mysterious and powerful beautiful young man appeared, all of this was like waves, one wave was higher than the other, one wave was more shocking than the other.
"Alright, let him leave first." Just as Chen Tang opened his eyes, the beautiful young man pointed to Wen Xuan beside him and said.
Without waiting for Master Bei's instructions, Xuan heard that the beautiful young man bowed deeply and turned to leave, but was called back.
"By the way, take that little thing on his back with you. I have a Fire Spirit Lotus Fruit here. When he refines the Tongming Sword Heart, help him rebuild his physique."
The beautiful young man smiled at Chen Xiao, pointing to the back of Chen Huan. In his slender hand, a sparkling spirit fruit appeared, about the size of an infant's fist, as if it contained endless flames within. As soon as it appeared in the air, a shocking wave of heat burst out.
"Fire Spirit Lotus Fruit!"
Chen Xiao and Wen Xuan shouted out in unison.
"Hmm, he may be a sword cultivator, but among the five elements of the innate spirit, the one that can most strongly reshape his physical body is actually fire." The beautiful young man nodded and smiled.
Chen Xiao believed that the beautiful young man was telling the truth, but he couldn't believe that this person would casually throw away a Huo Ling Lian fruit for his younger brother. After all, this thing is a rare treasure that can be encountered but not sought after in the world, and many powerful people would go crazy to get it.
He... why is he being so good to himself?
Chen Xiao had a faint feeling that everything he encountered today was related to the handsome young man in front of him, otherwise, with Wen Xuan and Bei Heng's status, they wouldn't be so polite to him.
"Don't worry, with this lotus fruit, your brother's cultivation will surely make rapid progress and his future achievements will be boundless." Xuan heard the warm smile of Chen Qi, personally took Chen Huan's back, turned around and left.
Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse. Originally, he was thinking of using the Golden Lotus Spirit Fruit in his dantian to help his brother rebuild his body. Now, not only did he save a Golden Lotus Spirit Fruit, but he also unexpectedly obtained a Fire Spirit Lotus Fruit that would be most beneficial for his brother's future cultivation. It could be considered a great stroke of luck, so how could he possibly refuse?
After Wen Xuan left, the beautiful young man finally raised his eyes to look at Chen Tai from head to toe, as if appreciating a treasure, looking very carefully, with soft and gentle eyes, making people feel like they were basking in the warm spring breeze, without any feeling of resistance or discomfort.
Half a moment later, the beautiful young man suddenly smiled and transmitted his voice: "Not bad, you didn't make me waste my effort coming here to meet you. Hmm, before I leave, I'll give you something."
As he spoke, a dark and shiny object suddenly drilled into Chen's sea of consciousness. The object was the size of a palm, with an unusual shape, resembling a piece of turtle shell fragment.
Chen Xuan didn't understand yet, this thing is actually one of the fragments of the Hetu?
As expected, after this piece of the River Chart appeared, that piece of the River Chart which had been quietly suspended and motionless in the Sea of Consciousness suddenly burst forth with a powerful attractive force, instantly merging with the piece of the River Chart that had just entered the Sea of Consciousness, forming an incomplete half-moon shape, its volume increasing by more than double.
Moreover, Chen Yao noticed that around the merged Hetu fragments, a layer of illusory shadows floated up, and the shadows were divided into seven pieces, with strange shapes. At a glance, the seven illusory shadows fit together with the Hetu fragments to form a nearly complete circular pattern.
"This should be the complete River Map shape, could it be that there are still seven pieces of River Map fragments left between heaven and earth?" Chen Xiao's heart suddenly felt a sense of realization, and then his heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that this person has long known that he possesses a piece of the River Map fragment?"
At this thought, Chen Xiao suddenly woke up from the excitement of getting the second Hetu fragment, and looked at the beautiful boy with a deep-seated fear and horror in his eyes.
"Train well, young junior brother of the future."
The beautiful young man seemed to have not noticed Chen's gaze at all, and after transmitting a smile, he suddenly disappeared on the spot, as if he had evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace behind, just like she had never appeared at all!
"Little brother!"
Chen Xiao's mind buzzed with a loud noise, as if struck by lightning. "Could it be that this woman disguised as a man is actually a disciple of Fuxi's senior?!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao wished to rush into the cave and ask Ji Yu a good question: whether Fuxi, the master of the cave, had left any other descendants in this world.
Unfortunately, before he had cultivated his physical body and energy to the level of the Yellow Court, it was fundamentally impossible for him to enter the grotto.
"Little brother... little brother... If it's really like that, then everything that happened today makes sense. But how did she find her own?" Chen Xiao furrowed his brow in deep thought.
"This senior really came and went in a hurry." On the side, the Supreme Elder of Liuyun Jianzong, Beiheng, sighed with endless regret.
This sigh suddenly awakened Chen Tai from his contemplation. He asked, "Beiheng, do you know this person?"
"Don't call me senior, we're peers." Beiheng's ancient and eccentric face floated with a hint of a smile as he said: "When I was young, hmm, about 2,000 years ago, I had the good fortune to meet this senior and received some guidance and teachings from her. Unfortunately, she didn't accept disciples, otherwise my current achievements wouldn't be limited to just the Earth Immortal realm."
"Don't you know her either?" Chen felt that Bei Heng's attitude towards him had become more sincere and friendly, with a hint of subtle flattery.
"If you address me like that again, I'll have you kicked out of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect!" Bei Heng said with feigned anger. "If you don't mind, let's call each other brothers from now on. Since I'm a bit older, just call me Elder Brother Chen, and I'll call you Younger Brother Yu, how about that?" As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of sincerity.
Being gazed at by the Supreme Elder of Liuyun Sword Sect, the number one sect in Longyuan City, with such sincerity, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.
"This... doesn't seem right?" Chen Tai hesitated.
"It's settled then!" Bei Heng saw Chen Tang hesitating, clearly without any intention of refusing, and immediately made the decision.
Chen Xiao couldn't refuse again, and a strange thought arose in his mind. If that's the case, wouldn't Xun Xuan Zhenren become my junior? He is even higher than the leader of the Liuyun Sword Sect by one generation. Calculating this way, when the leader of the Liuyun Sword Sect sees me, he should also call me "Shifu Zu" (Master Ancestor)...
Chen Xiao's thoughts were actually not wrong. Although he was not a member of the Liuyun Sword Sect, due to his relationship with Taishang Zheng Lao Bei Heng, within the sect, as long as they were younger than Bei Heng, they would have to address him with seniority and respect, even if he didn't want to acknowledge it.
It is known that the more ancient and profound the foundation of a sect, the stricter its hierarchy, with clear distinctions between seniority and juniority, as well as respect for authority.
"Chen Xiao, my younger brother, from now on you are considered a brother to me, and we can be said to have a bond as close as limbs. As the Supreme Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, I should naturally announce this matter to all disciples in the sect, and the entire sect will celebrate for three days."
"Moreover, I will open up a peak for you on the Flowing Cloud Mountains, build and repair a palace, which can serve as your place of residence and cultivation. Daily offerings and treasures will be presented to you in accordance with the etiquette of the Supreme Elder. You must not refuse this, it is my sincere intention as your brother, refusing would mean you do not regard me as your brother."
Chen Xiao opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word. Beiheng had already said so much, if he refused again, it would be hypocritical.
Besides, he has now thoroughly offended the Su family. If he can establish a relationship with the Liuyun Sword Sect, it would be an extremely sturdy protective charm. The Su family wants to move against him, but first they have to weigh whether they can afford to offend the Liuyun Sword Sect.
"Brother Bei Heng, it's my great honor to be able to interact with you, but let's skip the renovation of the palace and such things." Chen Tai said seriously: "After all, my current cultivation is shallow, I shouldn't be treated so generously."
"Is my younger brother worried about causing controversy?" Beiheng shook his head and smiled, then immediately said with a proud expression: "I, Beiheng, am also a figure in Longyuan City, big or small. Celebrating the acceptance of my adopted brother is a matter of course, if someone looks down on it, it's a great disrespect to you and me, two brothers. I, Beiheng, will make him understand what happens when one dares to offend you and me, two brothers!" By the time he finished speaking, his words were already filled with a fierce killing intent.
Chen Xiao understood the weight of these words. As the Supreme Elder of Longyuan City, the first power in the North, his status was extremely high and his cultivation was very deep. Few people could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, so when he said this, it wasn't just boasting.
"But I think it's better to keep a low profile." Chen Tai smiled, "A big tree attracts wind, and in the future, I won't be able to stay under North Heng's protection for long. It's better to avoid stirring up jealousy."
What's more important is that Chen Xiao doesn't want to be seen as a weak person. Everyone has their own path to follow, if they often rely on Bei Heng's power, then what's the difference between themselves and those second-generation rich kids with deep backgrounds?
Borrowing momentum is ultimately a clever tactic.
One's own strength is the strongest guarantee for survival!
"Since you're so insistent, I'll just go along with it, but there's something I need to get for you, and you absolutely can't refuse."
Beiheng has lived for many years, can't he see Chen Tang's thoughts? As a result, he appreciates Chen Tang even more. Because he condescends to befriend Chen Tang, after all, it is entirely because of the mysterious beautiful young man's feelings, hoping to establish a good relationship with him through Chen Tang.
As for Chen Tang, he was just an intermediary role, he saw it with his own eyes, but didn't pay much attention to it. However, at this moment, seeing Chen Tang's persistence and approach, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated this little guy, and his mindset changed a lot without realizing it.
"That's perfect." Chen Quan smiled and said.
"Haha, let's go, I'm in a great mood today. We brothers should have a good drink, and not return until we're drunk." Bei Heng grasped Chen Yu's arm, took a swing of his body, and immediately flew towards the pavilions on the lake, heading straight for the lakeside.
