Chapter 360: A Shocking Change in Huaxu Secret Realm
evening.
Zhao Liangchen also went back to Deyun Temple with them and had a meal together. After the meal, everyone sat in the backyard and chatted. He also released a few little ghosts from the gourd and let them play with the little fat dragon and the little koi.
There wasn’t a single human in the group, but the scene when they were playing was similar to that of a group of naughty kids, running around and making noise, with everyone watching with amusement.
Only Zhao Liangchen was unhappy after getting the fortune bowl. He thought that it would be too embarrassing for a cultivator to use such a begging tool and be seen by others in the future.
Lao Du patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, "Don't be too optimistic. There are top talents in every profession, and the Beggars' Sect is not without young talents either."
Zhao Liangchen sighed and said, "Master Du, you don't have to comfort me. I have long been accustomed to the injustice of fate to me, but I will not give up my integrity. Even if I, Zhao Liangchen, starve to death or freeze to death, I will never go begging."
"What's unfair about that?" Dulanke said again, "My treasure is just a tool for a backpack, not much better than a begging artifact."
When Zhao Liangchen heard this, he immediately took out the bowl and asked, "Then let's switch?"
Lao Du immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Then forget it."
The attitude is very clear...if you give it to me, I don’t want it, but if you give it to me, I recommend it.
"Tsk..." Zhao Liangchen curled his lips.
At this moment, the little girl in the little red coat ran up to him, snatched the bowl, and asked, "What is this?"
"A magical weapon..." Zhao Liangchen replied weakly.
He already had no face in front of those little brats, and if they knew he was using this kind of magic weapon, he would lose even more status.
Lao Du laughed mischievously and said, "This thing is really powerful. As long as you hold it and shout 'Congratulations on your prosperity' to people, they will have to give you money."
"Wow..." The little girl's eyes lit up.
Zhao Liangchen frowned and said, "Are you instigating children to beg? Should I report this to the police?"
Before he could finish his words, the little girl pointed the bowl at him and shouted, "Wish you good fortune and prosperity."
Zhao Liangchen only felt a force of thought coming to his mind, making him throw the money on his body into the bowl.
Since they were all his, he just threw a piece of silver in and said, "Stop playing."
But the little girl hadn't had enough fun yet, so she pointed the bowl at Lao Du again, "Congratulations on your prosperity."
Lao Du felt the same feeling at that moment, as a similar idea surged into his heart.
But after joining Deyun Temple for so long, the Deyun tradition of sacrificing one's life over one's wealth has deeply ingrained in him...
He immediately covered his purse and managed to suppress the urge! Then, he heard a snapping sound.
Suddenly, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky!
boom--
This thunder, which seemed like a calamity from heaven, directly struck Lao Du and turned him into a charred black.
Zhao Liangchen's pupils shrank. He obviously never dreamed that the punishment of this thing would be so strong. Even the little girl holding the bowl opened her mouth wide. Everyone in the yard was startled by the lightning and looked over.
Li Chu quickly moved over and chanted a small Bodhi mantra, which gradually healed the wounds on Lao Du's body.
After a while, the golden light finally disappeared.
The little koi fish at the side said, "Why is he still anxious?"
"No..." Lao Du hurriedly opened his eyes and said, "This is my original skin color..."
In the chaos, the little girl quietly pointed the bowl at Li Chu and said again: "Congratulations on your prosperity."
Hearing the word "Gong" coming out of her mouth, Zhao Liangchen turned around and was shocked to find that she was casting a spell on Li Chu. He quickly raised his hand and shouted, "No..."
But it was too late. By the time he tried to stop her, the word "wealth" had already been said.
That mysterious thought surged into Li Chu's heart.
Considering what happened to Lao Du just now, he was a little afraid. But it was impossible for him to take out the money.
He just gritted his teeth and resisted the thought.
Zhao Liangchen broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
But after a moment, nothing happened. There was no thunder or other punishment.
"Huh..." Zhao Liangchen let out a long breath and said with a smile, "It would be best if nothing happened."
At the same time, I secretly felt lucky that this was a bowl that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
But the next second, he saw Li Chu's cold gaze cast at him, his eyes filled with anger as if he had almost lost money.
Zhao Liangchen blinked, pulled the little girl behind him, and said earnestly: "She is still a child..."
…
The next morning.
Chu Xiangyu and Chu Ci walked on the chilly ground and arrived at Deyun Temple in Shilipu.
However, the entrance of the Taoist temple seemed a little different from before, with some extra things.
A sign reads "Zhao Liangchen and dogs are not allowed to enter."
Chu Xiangyu didn't care. He strode into the gate and came to the front hall.
"Mr. Chu." Li Chu greeted with a smile, "But is there another business?"
Yesterday, Li Chu brought back the prescription for men that can practice the Huaxu Sutra, and explained a series of side effects such as beard loss, twisted buttocks, impotence, orchid fingers, sissy... etc.
Chu Xiangyu keenly discovered that there was a strange thing mixed in.
I had no choice but to accept the fact that I had no chance to learn the Huaxu Sutra.
But out of his promise, he happily paid Li Chu the balance.
This made Li Chu favor the Chu family more, and he agreed to give a discount if they had any needs again.
"No." Chu Xiangyu shook his head and smiled, "There is something I want to tell Taoist Xiao Li."
"Speaking."
"Yesterday, our seven families in Tiannan held a regular meeting about the competition for the Huaxu Secret Realm. At the meeting, the seven families reached a consensus..." Chu Xiangyu paused and said, "Promise not to use Li Chu first."
"this……"
Li Chu frowned, "Is this a bit of an exaggeration?"
"I think so too, but your influence in Huaxu Secret Realm is too great, almost unrivaled, and you are not from any particular family. They are worried that the competition will eventually lead to no one benefiting, which is not unreasonable. I was unwilling at the time, but the other six families agreed, and my Chu family could not refuse..."
Chu Xiangyu said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, I understand." Li Chu nodded slightly.
Chu Xiangyu quietly moved closer and whispered, "Also, let me tell you one more thing. This matter was led by the Yan family."
…
Not long after Chu Xiangyu left, another person from the Seven Families of Tiannan arrived.
Also an acquaintance, Qi Kexiu from the Qi family.
Li Chu was a little surprised and greeted, "Master Qi, is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, I didn't go down to the secret realm today, so I came to talk to Taoist Xiao Li." Qi Kexiu looked around and said with a smile: "I also have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Li Chu asked again.
As expected, what Qi Kexiu said was the same as what Chu Xiangyu said, which was to clarify the promise made at the regular meeting of the seven families not to invite Li Chu.
"Actually, I was extremely reluctant, but the other six families all agreed at that time, and my Qi family could not refuse..." Qi Kexiu also shook his head and sighed.
"It's okay. I understand." Li Chu nodded again.
Finally, Qi Kexiu added: "This matter was led by the Yan family..."
"..." Li Chu listened silently, and gained a new understanding of the relationship between the seven families in Tiannan.
From the outside, these seven ancient families may be a united front in Tiannan Province, but now it seems that there is a lot of internal competition, and sometimes they even wish for the death of the other party...
Finally, Li Chu was a little curious again, "The secret realm should be open today, Master Qi, don't you need to go in again?"
"Alas, the father and son of the Yan family have gone crazy. We all have to stay out of the spotlight." Qi Kexiu said with a smile.
…
Boom boom boom——
The continuous sound of magic weapons colliding resounded throughout the secret realm. Yan Linnan, dressed in a brocade robe, stood at the forefront of the suspended island, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
Yan Ren stood behind him, rubbing off his father's prestige and looking quite majestic.
Behind him was a row of masters of various kinds, and behind them were hundreds of Yan family generals, roaring and hissing, full of murderous intent.
Just as Qi Kexiu and the others said, the effort the Yan family put in today was nothing short of crazy.
Yan Linan's cultivation was at the peak of the Myriad Realms, and he could enter the secret realm. But he was proud of his status, and since the people in charge of this matter in other families were all juniors, he handed it over to his son.
But now, Yan Ren not only failed to obtain the treasure but also spent all the budget halfway. If the Yan family fails to gain anything in the Huaxu Secret Realm, not only Yan Ren, but also his status will be greatly shaken.
So today, Yan Linnan took action personally, mobilized his many years of connections and resources, and invited dozens of well-known masters from the southern border to come here for a do-or-die battle.
With the amount of investment he made, let alone entering the Huaxu Secret Realm, even entering the four great immortal treasure places might not be able to recoup the cost. It can be said that the Yan family was destined to make a loss this time.
But there is no other way, we have to do it even if it costs us money.
If he couldn't get anything substantial, all his previous investments would be in vain and he would have no standing in front of the family elders.
He had to win once! With this determination, he deployed this lineup today.
The other families probably understood what was going on. All the leaders, such as Chu Xiangyu and Qi Kexiu, did not enter the secret realm again, but just sent some people to make up the scene.
After all, the Yan family's lineup is destined to lose money, and this time only, there is no need to put in the same effort to compete with him.
"Dad, even the leaders of other families haven't come." Yan Ren said with a smile: "If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have to send out so many experts."
Thinking of such a huge sum of money, even though he was a spendthrift, he still felt the pain.
Yan Linan sighed secretly, looking at Yan Ren, wondering how he could have given birth to such a smart kid despite being so smart all his life? He might have to investigate the child's mother when he got back.
He said in a deep voice: "Think about it with your good brain. If we didn't send out so many experts, how could they be afraid of us? How could they give up the competition?"
"Yes, what Dad said makes a lot of sense." Yan Ren suddenly realized.
While the cutting of the Huaxu Wutong tree was in full swing, the huge crack behind everyone actually slowly and quietly closed...
After a long while, the light in the secret realm gradually dimmed before someone discovered it.
"The secret realm is closed!" everyone exclaimed.
"Huh?" Yan Linnan turned around and found that the secret realm had closed by itself. He secretly felt something was wrong.
call out--
As the door of the secret realm closed, millions of golden lights rose from the front. The golden phoenix flew from the depths of the secret realm and became the most dazzling source of light.
Only this time, there was one more person on the Golden Phoenix's back.
A terrifying, enormous and oppressive body sat cross-legged with its eyes slightly closed.
Anyone who has some knowledge of this secret realm before entering it, or has entered its deepest part, should know that this is Chen Fuhuang.
A name that clearly died five hundred years ago, but whose name has been passed down among humans because of the legend that his physical body was invincible.
"Is this... that spirit?" Someone who had seen the spirit deep in the secret realm exclaimed in surprise.
“No…” Some experts who were more experienced and knowledgeable felt the terrifying pressure, “That is Chen Fuhuang’s true form!”
“Wow…”
"Don't panic! Chen Fuhuang is dead! Even if he appears again, he is just a puppet at best. There is no need to be afraid!"
Yan Linan flew up and shouted to stop everyone from panicking.
"Hahaha……"
A loud laugh suddenly rang out from the other side.
"Yes, I am a puppet, but..."
Boom! Chen Fuhuang suddenly opened his one eye, and the brilliance in his eyes was so great that more than half of the cultivators present could not bear it and knelt down on the spot!
“This…” Yan Linan cried out in horror, but was more filled with suspicion, “How could this secret realm accommodate such a level of cultivation…”
“Hahaha!” Chen Fuhuang stood up and laughed: “Are you stupid? Because… this is my secret realm.”
Yan Linan suppressed his fluctuating emotions and shouted loudly: "I don't know who is controlling you, the devil, but even if Chen Fuhuang is resurrected, what does it matter? When he was alive, he couldn't shake the Seven Families of Tiannan. Now he is just a corpse, do you still dare to be the enemy of the Seven Families of Tiannan?"
"To be honest..." Chen Fuhuang paused, then slowly spoke: "At first I also thought that Chen Fuhuang could not defeat you seven families of Tiannan... But now that I control this body, I suddenly feel strange..."
"Why didn't Chen Fuhuang kill all of you back then?"
"You don't understand what it means to be truly invincible!"
boom--
As soon as these words came out, the surging pressure intensified again. All the people present, including those masters at the peak of the myriad realms, could not even stand on the spot! Bang bang bang! There was a series of heavy kneeling sounds.
In the end, only Yan Linnan was left standing alone, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
He still insisted: "Do you...really want to be an enemy of my seven families?"
"I don't care if there are seven or eight of you..." Chen Fuhuang took a breath and suddenly shouted, "Kneel down!"
boom--
At the command, Yan Linan's legs suddenly shattered!
His body also fell down.
And more cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation bases had their entire bodies exploded, their flesh and blood shattered and they died!
Explosive killing!
“Hahahaha! Hahahaha…”
"Who else in the world can stop me?"
…
A moment later, deep in the secret realm.
Chen Fuhuang, covered in blood, returned to his normal human size and appeared in the bright white space.
A clone who looked similar to him but had two eyes walked out and looked at "himself" with a complicated expression.
"From the first day you came in, I knew that you... were not the real person. You just controlled his body." The spirit looked at him, "Who are you?"
"Of course I can't be Chen Fuhuang. He died five hundred years ago. Everyone in the world knows that. But..."
A beam of light shot out from between Chen Fuhuang's eyebrows, and after it stopped, it turned into a small wooden figure the size of a palm! The wooden figure had a strange smile on its face.
"Now I have completely transformed and controlled his body. I have this physique and even some residual memories. You can think of me as Chen Fuhuang!"
"Hmph." The Spirit Dissociation sneered twice, "I admit that your method of refining puppets is very advanced, even the best I have ever seen in my life. But... fake, it is fake."
"Let alone whether it's true or not, I'm not here to argue with you. I just want to ask you one thing."
The wooden man looked distracted, his face gloomy.
"Where is the Immortal Phoenix Gallbladder?"
"I opened this secret realm and allowed so many people to enter the Huaxu projection just to bring that Immortal Phoenix Gallbladder to the world. It is a treasure that fell from the Immortal Realm and is very likely to create a true immortal! Now that it has been born, I want to know who you gave it to."
“Haha.” The spirit split looked at it with contempt and shook its head, saying, “I won’t tell you. Even if you control the original body, you can’t change your clown appearance.”
"Do you think that I can't kill you just because you are tied to the Huaxu Secret Realm?" The wooden man's words contained a threat. "It has been five hundred years. The memories I got from Chen Fuhuang are very few and scattered, but one of them is exactly how to wipe out the spirit that I arranged..."
"I gave a lovely little carp. She came from a place called Deyun Temple."
A friendly smile suddenly appeared on the distracted face.
"I can only help you so far. I have missed your original self for five hundred years. My dearest friend."
"Good luck."
You wouldn't expect that.
