After listening to Hu Yan's comfort, Gu Xuanming suppressed the anger in his heart and ignored Qing Ying.
After experiencing a series of blows including the exile of his family and the death of his wife and son, he no longer had any extravagant desires or thoughts about the word "love" in his heart, and he devoted himself to the pursuit of strength.
In his opinion, the reason why he fell into such a situation today is because his Taoist practice is not advanced enough and his Taoist magic power is not strong enough.
All in all, it’s those four words: “lack of strength”.
If he has great supernatural powers, can suppress an area, and is famous, who would dare to kill his son?
How could that bad woman Rou Meng dare to be sorry to him, how dare she boss him around and scold him angrily?
Because of this, in order to pursue strength, Gu Xuanming left Kyushu and came to the wilderness to work hard.
Born into a prince's family, Gu Xuanming suffered from a disease that is very easy for children from aristocratic families to contract. He was born with a sense of superiority and felt that he and ordinary people were in two different worlds. Only the children of his aristocratic family were human beings, and ordinary people in Li were no more than grasslands.
Bring cattle and sheep and let them herd them.
Of course, although Gu Xuanming has a sense of aristocratic superiority, he has never taken advantage of others, taken shortcuts, or practiced magic skills or evil methods before. Instead, he practiced the ancestral methods in a disciplined manner and joined the military to practice martial arts.
However, after experiencing a big change in his life, Gu Xuanming "awakened" and his mind was filled with the pursuit of power.
When he led an army to suppress evil heretics, he unintentionally acquired many heretical methods, such as mending furnaces and cauldrons, killing demons and making elixirs, swallowing souls for nourishment...
These side sects and heretical methods are all about robbing others, getting something for nothing, and taking shortcuts.
Whether it is the mortal world or the world of immortality, if you rely solely on your own efforts, your gains will always be limited. On the contrary, robbing others can make you rich overnight and become bigger and stronger.
Gu Xuanming is no exception.
He is extremely talented, and he is not too old, less than a hundred years old. He is definitely a genius at the level of the direct descendant of the great Immortal Sect.
It has been almost ten years since he entered the realm of great supernatural powers. If he practices the Eight Classics seriously, even if he has a good talent, his Taoist cultivation will probably be in the middle stage of the fourth level.
However, after he practiced various side secrets and plundered the great medicine for cultivation, he discovered that practicing was so easy and much faster than before.
In just four or five years, his cultivation has skyrocketed, and his strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now, he seems to be in the late fourth level of magic cultivation, and his magical powers are not what they used to be.
A year ago, while traveling, Gu Xuanming accidentally met "Fairy Yan" Hu Yan, whose cultivation had gone awry and her strength had plummeted. When he saw her, he secretly rejoiced that Tian Tian had dropped the cauldron of great magical power. Without saying a word, he picked it up.
Replenishing corpses.
What a battle between the three peaks, where yin and yang are combined, it's really a great thing.
It's a coincidence that Hu Yan was practicing the super-grade charming fire method of the Fire Fox clan, but something went wrong. The evil fire burned her body, hurt her soul, and almost died. Gu Xuanming happened to be picking up the corpse to collect the tonic, which happened to help Hu Yan.
Very busy.
Not only did it save Hu Yan's life, but it also allowed Hu Yan to take supplements to help her stabilize her realm and advance her cultivation further.
Afterwards, Hu Yan saw that Gu Xuanming was handsome, tall and young. He was a late-4th-grade Taoist practitioner. He was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him. She knew that Gu Xuanming might have evil intentions, but she didn't have much anger in her heart.
In particular, she discovered that Gu Xuanming's Huang Chi Technique was actually very helpful in suppressing the evil fire in her heart and could assist her in her practice. After seeing his strengths, she took the initiative to befriend him.
As time went by, the two became a spiritual couple.
Gu Xuanming was hurt by love and was disgusted and wary of women. He knew very well that Hu Yan was coveting his body and used it as a training cauldron to nourish his practice. However, hearing that Hu Yan was willing to help him made him feel quite satisfied and thought about it.
I thought and complimented:
"Yan'er, it's up to you."
Hu Yan smiled slightly and was full of confidence: "Well~ Gu Lang, when I get the inheritance, break through the third level of Taoism, and suppress the evil fire in my body, I will not take advantage of you, and I will help you take revenge..."
Gu Xuanming smiled flatteringly: "Okay!"
...
Chu Chen and Qingying were slightly surprised when they saw Gu Xuanming retracting his gaze. They also retracted their gaze.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. I don't know what he has gone through. His cultivation has improved rapidly. He actually has a late fourth-level Taoist cultivation level."
Chu Chen never expected that he would meet Gu Xuanming in the eight southwest states.
Just now, Gu Xuanming didn't recognize him, but when he looked at Qingying, he could see it clearly, and his eyes were filled with the fire of hatred.
Obviously, Gu Xuanming had a grudge against Chu Chen for flying his sword to kill the dragon and sending his son to the underworld.
The conflict between the two parties is irreconcilable.
"Erlang, this Gu Xuanming is not a good person. I'm afraid he hates us. Let's find an opportunity to strike first."
Qingying recalled the way Gu Xuanming looked at her and felt very uncomfortable.
She was born in Yuanlong Palace, and has a good vision. When encountering problems, she has the style of a dragon king, killing decisively without any hint of humiliation.
"Well, let's take action when the opportunity arises."
Chu Chen nodded slightly and quite agreed with Qingying's words.
He is not afraid of Gu Xuanming, who is only in the late fourth level and is not his opponent at all, but he is afraid that the dog will bite people indiscriminately and act without scruples, thus laying hidden dangers.
While the two were talking, the "Sacred Fox Dharma Assembly" began.
Guests from all walks of life appeared one after another.
The guests who appeared at the finale were rather strange. They all seemed to have shallow Taoist practices, but in fact they were the incarnations of strong men.
Needless to say, the last person to appear was none other than the Lord of the Divine Fox Palace, Xinyue Laomu.
Although this Xinyue Laomu is called "Old Mother", she does not look like an old woman, but a pretty woman with mature charm and natural beauty. She has the agility of a twenty-year-old girl and the intellectual and dignified elegance. It is amazing.
You can't take your eyes away after just one glance.
Of course, no one on the field dared to stare, for fear of offending this top-level magical powerhouse.
Chu Chen glanced at "Old Mother Xinyue" and was extremely surprised.
It's not that he is attracted by her beauty, but the opponent's strength. Not to mention his Taoism, he can't tell the third and second grades at the moment, but in terms of magic power and aura, this Xinyue Old Mother is on par with the leader of the Demon Academy, Taoist Chongxu.
Up and down.
"Erlang, Old Mother Xinyue is indeed well-deserved, with profound magic power and vast supernatural powers. If Dai Yan can become her disciple, not to mention the direct inheritance, even if she is just an ordinary disciple, it will be a rare opportunity."
Qingying has good eyesight and can also see that Xinyue's mother is extraordinary.
Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
"We have met Mother Xinyue!"
Mother Xinyue is sitting on a high platform in the courtyard, like a god, majestic and dignified:
"Fellow Taoists, you have come all the way to bring glory to our Divine Fox Palace..."
After a brief opening speech and thanking all the guests for their courtesy, the banquet began, with people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.
Until the sun sets and the darkness is shrouded, the Divine Fox Palace, under the attention of all the guests, begins to decorate the "Shenhu Dharma Assembly", including five-square rhombuses, jade rings, Dharma mirrors, lanterns, incense, fruits, paper horses...
Not long after, the altar was built. Under the leadership of Mother Xinyue, from the fox demon who transformed into a human to the little fox, at the banquet, thousands of fox tribesmen all worshiped the altar, uttered human words, and shouted:
"Grandpa Fox! Grandpa Fox!"
The so-called "Grandpa Fox" is the righteous god of heaven, Lord Fox of the Heart of the East, one of the twenty-eight constellations, also known as Lord Uranus of the Heart, whose surname is Su Mingyuan.
Originally, among the Fox Clan, the god Xinhu Xingjun did not have a high status in the hearts of the Fox Clan, and was not widely worshiped or worshiped.
However, since the rise of Xinyue Laomu, she has become the pillar of the Fox Clan in the world, and the Divine Fox Palace has become the Holy Land of the Fox Clan, the status of "Grandpa Fox" Xinhu Xingjun in the Fox Clan has skyrocketed, surpassing the nine
The tail sky fox has become the main god of the fox tribe.
After all, although the Nine-tailed Sky Fox is noble and powerful, most fox tribes do not have the power of the blood of the divine beasts, so they cannot be reborn by offering sacrifices to the Nine-tailed Sky Fox and other gods.
This "Grandpa Fox" is different.
His old man's heart-sustaining Dao Qi can really transform the fox clan and change their destiny.
People always seek profit, and the intelligent fox tribe is no exception. "Grandpa Fox" is really a benefit. Mother Xinyue's deeds are so good that the fox tribes all over the world naturally invite "Grandpa Fox" to them.
Go home and provide for him.
Not to mention "Xinsu descends to earth", even the baptism of ordinary Xinsu Daoqi is a rare opportunity for many fox demons.
Along with the incense, the competition between gods from all sides is also extremely fierce.
No one believes in it, there is little incense, and the gods being worshiped are not powerful enough in this world, so the worship is not effective. Therefore, there are fewer living beings to worship and worship. The fewer living beings, the less effective it is, and the less people believe it... falling into viciousness.
cycle.
On the contrary, the situation is exactly the opposite.
Because of the rise of Xinyue Laomu, Xinhu Xingjun became more and more popular in this world, and his power in this world became more and more powerful. Worshiping him became more and more effective. From time to time, Xinsu Dao Qi descended to preach and teach.
But now, as the popularity of incense becomes more and more prosperous, "Grandpa Fox" becomes more and more effective.
"It's truly a magical destiny."
At the viewing seat, Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness keenly felt a vast divine power quietly descending on the altar, majestic and majestic.
He collected and refined the Three Lights Zhengqi, was well versed in the Tiangang method, and collected the essence of the stars in the sky. As soon as his spiritual consciousness saw the divine power coming from the altar, he confirmed that the divine power was pure and not an evil god or heretic.
This opportunity to "come down to earth" did not come by chance overnight, but was the result of many years of faith among the fox tribes, accumulated little by little by chance.
In other words, the original Xinyue Laomu's "Heart Constellation Descends to Earth" was born due to fate, but this time's "Heart Constellation Descends to Earth" is the manifestation of "Grandpa Fox", blessing the fox clan in the world.
Just like Emperor Guan Sheng favored him a few years ago and bestowed treasures on him, apart from his status as a fellow countryman, the most important thing is that he practices the "Guandi Method" and has outstanding potential, and is expected to help Emperor Guan spread his religion.
"It seems that it's not easy to be a god."
While Chu Chen was sighing secretly, the [Fox God Ceremony] became more and more lively.
After some worship and the divine power of the heart subdued, Old Mother Xinyue sat cross-legged on the clouds and said calmly:
"Disciples, please come forward quickly to worship!"
After the words fell, nine named disciples including Little Fox Fairy Dai Yan, Yan Fairy Hu Yan, etc. came on stage one after another and took their seats one by one in front of the nine futons in front of the altar.
These nine named disciples are all the new generation leaders of the Fox Clan. They all have great magical abilities. They have outstanding talents and extraordinary strength. Once they get the opportunity to "come to earth with their hearts", they will be like flying dragons in the sky.
, the future is limitless.
Mother Xinyue was quite satisfied after meeting the nine juniors of the Fox Clan, nodded and gave instructions:
"The Heart Moon Fox God has been born. You can use the [Heart Moon Attracting the Fox Technique] to manifest the Fox God's dharma body and reveal your talents. For those who are destined, the Fox God will descend to the earth."
The nine geniuses of the fox clan, both male and female, were excited after hearing what Xinyue's mother said, and they meditated into concentration and performed the "Xinyue Linghu Technique".
For a moment, everyone in the Dharma assembly fell silent.
Whether it was Old Mother Xinyue and other fox clansmen, or the guests watching the ceremony, they all looked at the altar.
After about a hundred breaths.
On the altar, behind a handsome male fox tribe's great supernatural power, a shadow of a divine fox quietly appeared, about three feet in size, with stars and flames like a wheel, lifelike and exuding a majestic aura.
The next moment, a divine power descended from the altar and fell quietly on him, as if he was peeking at something.
However, before he could be happy, the divine power left and fell on the fox tribe next to him.
There is no other reason. Behind another great magical power of the fox clan, a four-foot-sized phantom of a divine fox condensed.
Immediately afterwards, a series of phantoms of the divine fox appeared.
Six feet, eight feet, five feet, eight feet, nine feet...
For a moment, the Dharma altar was extremely lively. The great powers of the nine great fox clans used their secret techniques one after another to condense the Dharma Body of the Divine Fox. The stars were bright, and the Heart Fox Divine Fire emitted billowing heat waves that rippled in all directions.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva and exclaimed in surprise.
It was not because of the blazing fire of the inner fox, but because of the astonishing scene that happened on the altar.
Among the many divine fox dharma bodies that were several feet in size, two giant divine fox dharma bodies with a stature of more than one foot appeared, standing out from the crowd like chickens, which was extremely eye-catching.
Among them, the owner of a giant divine fox body is none other than "Fairy Yan" Hu Yan.
No one was surprised by this, whether it was the fox tribe at the ceremony or the guests watching the ceremony.
Hu Yan, who was born in the Fire Fox Clan, has a profound Taoist practice and is very compatible with the "Xinyue Fox Heritage". When Mother Xinyue taught him the secret method, she understood it on the spot and amazed everyone.
Others have long regarded him as a popular candidate to be the "successor of Xinyue Fox", so they are not surprised at all by this scene.
What really surprised everyone at the ceremony was that there was also a great magical power of the fox clan whose dharma body was as good as Hu Yan's, or even slightly stronger by two points.
Although the "Divine Fox Dharmakaya" is not the most powerful, the "Xinyue Fox God" will definitely choose it as the main one. However, there is no doubt that the Divine Fox Dharmakaya is powerful and has a high chance of being selected.
For a moment, other people in the Dharma gathering were shocked, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Fellow Daoist Dai Yan! Didn't she say that practicing the method is difficult?"
"Good guy, she was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and we were all deceived."
"Fellow Daoist Dai Yan really hides his secret..."
At the Dharma gathering, divine consciousness was heard flying around, and there was a lot of discussion.
Even Xinyue's mother was no exception, with a look of surprise on her face. She was deeply impressed by this young man with the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox and was very optimistic about him.
Unfortunately, Dai Yan did not perform well when teaching the Dharma a few days ago, which made her quite disappointed and she was filled with emotion.
If you have the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, you will also have the opportunity of [Heart Constellation Descends to Earth].
The future is truly amazing.
"Did you make a mistake?"
Mother Xinyue had a strange look on her face. She was making spells and deductions, trying to get a glimpse of something.
"Hahaha~ The hard work these days has finally paid off."
Chu Chen and Qingying smiled knowingly.
These days, Dai Yan has been practicing secret techniques every day, getting twice the result with half the effort, catching up, and even overpowering the leaders of her clan, which is not surprising at all.
However, the smiles on their faces flashed away, and they soon showed signs of nervousness.
There is no other reason. On the Dharma altar, the mysterious divine power frequently moves around the owners of the two divine fox Dharmakayas, favoring them, as if they are making a choice.
However, in general, the power of the heart rests on Dai Yan for a longer period of time.
When Chu Chen and Qingying saw this scene, they couldn't help but look forward to it...
However, things backfired.
Just as the two of them were waiting in silence, a certain kid's spiritual voice came to their ears.
"Senior brother, Sister Ying'er, and Sister Daiyan have the aura of calamity on their heads..."
