Chapter 161: Bai Weiqing's Decision
The first update!
——
After the end of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Chen Xiao closed himself in Qinxin Peak of Liuyun Sword Sect for a month. Relying on the large amount of spiritual liquid, the powerful divine soul force, and his various understandings of the Heavenly Dao, he made a breakthrough, advancing his Qi Refining cultivation to the Purple Mansion Nine Stars Realm. The Purple Mansion Great Lake in his body was vast like the sea, deep like an abyss, with nine True Yuan Star Orbs suspended above it, shining brightly, radiating a clear and elegant aura, only one step away from advancing to the Yellow Court Realm.
Now, in this Nine Palaces Star Annihilation Array, Chen Xuan turned danger into safety and suffered a blessing. He once again broke through to the Ninth Realm boundary with his refined body, and with his own understanding of the Heavenly Way, he created his own witchcraft patterns, condensing the Wind Witch Pattern and the Thunderbolt Witch Pattern. His body's witch power was vast and majestic, thick like liquid, gathering ten different kinds of powerful auras. His refined body had increased by more than ten times compared to before!
No matter whether it's refining the air or refining the body, the speed of its progress is simply astonishing, reaching an unprecedented level, worthy of being called breathtakingly beautiful and unparalleled throughout the ages!
But all of this was not due to luck.
Cultivation is a path, seven parts diligent cultivation, three parts opportunity. Chen Su's bitter cultivation has no need to be described in detail, and as for opportunity, with the auspicious beast Qilin by his side, Chen Su is not lacking either. Whether it was adventuring within the Sword Immortal's abode, or fighting and killing in the deep mountains of Nanman, or cultivating in seclusion in the vast desert, or competing in the trials of the Floating Pagoda... Chen Su's circumstances could be said to be extremely dangerous, but precisely because of this, the opportunities he obtained were also greater than ordinary people could imagine.
It is precisely in this uninterrupted practice, killing and tempering, in the baptism of blood and fire, in the situation where danger and opportunity coexist, that Chen Tai can walk to today's stage with ease, achieving dazzling achievements.
"Stars, wind, five elements, yin and yang, thunder... I've only just caught a glimpse of the way, but with cultivation, I can make rapid progress to this point. I don't know how terrifying it will be in the future when I have an even deeper understanding and condense my own domain." Chen Xiao felt the powerful energy surging within his flesh and blood, and a sense of confidence that spanned the eight wildernesses and dominated the six harmonies naturally arose.
However, he still found that the black and white vortex above his head was still pouring star power into his body continuously...
It's no wonder that the black and white vortex had a range of thousands of feet, absorbing and devouring the power of the star-calculating thunder. It almost drained a quarter of the power of the Nine Palaces Star-destroying Array. This kind of power was what Xīng Luó Palace spent several thousand years accumulating, sacrificing the flesh and blood souls of tens of thousands of disciples to trigger. It's like an endless ocean, taking but never exhausting. The power Chen Tìng extracted wasn't even a tenth of a percent, just a single hair from nine cows.
Rumble!
The feeling of swelling and bloating came again, accompanied by the severe pain of muscle and fascia being torn apart, like a tide, constantly ravaging every pore on my body.
"It seems that I must break through the Yellow Court Boundary of Lian Ti after all!" Chen Xiao gritted his teeth secretly, just about to circulate his Qi, when suddenly he discovered that in those Earthly Tombstone talismans, the originally still and unmoving Hunyuan Xiyan, had suddenly come to life, and began to devour the Xingxie's power that was pouring in from outside.
Chaos stirred, and the unnamed divine trees in the Wu Xing of Wood, the unnamed metals in the Wu Xing of Metal, the unnamed fire crystals in the Wu Xing of Fire, and the unnamed water pearls in the Wu Xing of Water all seemed to awaken from their slumber. They began to constantly absorb the power transmitted from the Chaos Soil.
These five extraordinary treasures were obtained by Chen Xiao from the Four Elephant Trial Pagoda, capable of spitting out pure Five Elements aura, but transforming into Five Elements attribute magic, surging into Chen Xiao's flesh and blood to strengthen his body and cultivate his skills, extremely miraculous.
Previously, Chen Yao was worried that after the Hun Dun Xi Lie disappeared, these five treasures would lose their effect, but now it seems that this worry is a bit superfluous.
The power of the star's calamity that surged from the black and white vortex was like a refreshing rain, nourishing and strengthening the primordial soil, and the power of the primordial soil indirectly nurtured the other four treasures, circulating and repeating, infinite and mysterious.
With the power of Chaos Soil intercepting the swirling black and white vortex, Chen Xiao suddenly felt the numbness and pain in his body rapidly dissipating, like a comfortable feeling of soaking in a hot spring, extremely wonderful.
However, Chen Yu still did not dare to act rashly, because those black and white whirlpools were all composed of starlightning, and if there was even a slight mistake, it could explode on the spot. Not to mention him, even a land immortal would have no bones left, their soul scattered.
"It seems that I can only wait for the power of the black and white vortex to disappear before I can act freely, and I don't know how White Aunt and the others are doing..." Chen Xiao muttered to herself.

Bei Heng stood beside Chen Tang, also not daring to make any sudden movements. After all, he was now within the scope of the black and white vortex's influence, and it was a core area.
He didn't know that once he acted, would he trigger the star thunder in the black and white vortex. For now, there was nothing to do but wait for Chen Tang to wake up from his cultivation.
As soon as he thought of this, Bei Heng couldn't help but feel a surge of complex emotions. Just a moment ago, he was thinking of abandoning Chen Suo and living on his own, but now the situation had reversed. If he were to leave Chen Suo behind to maintain that black-and-white vortex, he would also be in danger. In other words, he too had now obtained Chen Suo's protection. This made Bei Heng, who possessed a cultivation of Earth Immortal Second Heaven, feel a sense of gratitude and emotion.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, three flashes of light broke through the air and arrived. It was Bai Yuqing, Bai Teng and Bai Gan. The three of them seemed to be extremely wary of the power condensed by the black and white vortex, standing far away in mid-air, not daring to get closer.
Bei Heng was taken aback, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and in an instant, he discovered that the Nine Palaces Star Extermination Array set up by Xingluo Palace had been destroyed and vanished into thin air.
Not only that, but the entire Meteorite Mountain was fragmented peaks, cracked ground, and scars everywhere, filled with a bleak and silent atmosphere. It was as if all living things had been extinct, without any vitality.
"Could it be that everyone in the Star Luo Palace was slaughtered?" Beiheng's heart skipped a beat as he gazed at the three figures in the distance, his mind secretly on high alert.
Only three people, annihilated the entire Star Luo Palace sect, and even the Nine Palaces Star Killing Immortal Array couldn't stop them. Facing such formidable individuals, anyone would have to be cautious in their treatment.
"Awesome, actually using the power of Stellar Thunder to cultivate his physique! This kind of body-refining method is simply ingenious and unbelievable!" Bai Tong's eyes scanned Chen Tai's body, nodding in admiration.
"Chen Xiao? Is that really this little guy......" At close range, Bai Yuqing immediately recognized Chen Xiao. Although his appearance had changed, the aura on his body was innate, and she had almost watched him grow up, so how could she not recognize the young man who was meditating with his eyes closed in the distance, who was indeed Chen Xiao?
"Does this Taoist friend know my younger brother?" Beiheng asked in surprise. Although he saw that Bai Yuqing's cultivation was extremely shallow, there was a powerful expert from the Sixth Heaven of the Earth Immortal realm following him, and he didn't dare to act as if he were his senior.
"Hmm." Bai Weiqing nodded, then suddenly realized something and looked at Bei Heng in surprise, asking: "You and him?"
"I and Chen Xiao have already become sworn brothers, like limbs of the same body," Bei Heng replied without hesitation. He was worried that these three people would kill him to silence him just now, but when he heard Bai Yuqing knew Chen Xiao, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, fortunately, he didn't abandon Chen Xiao earlier, or else he would have suffered revenge from these three people even if he could save his life.
Thinking of this, Bei Heng couldn't see through Chen Yao anymore. With a mysterious and powerful 'Shi Jie' (a beautiful young man disguised as a boy, who calls Chen Yao 'Shi Di', that's why Bei Heng thought so), now even more related to these three people in front of him, what kind of background should this little guy have?
"Oh." Bai Weiqing nodded, her emotions also fluctuating wildly. She really hadn't expected that in just two years, Chen Yao's changes would be so great, and he could actually call someone from the Earth Immortal realm "brother". She almost didn't dare to believe her own eyes, and her expression was dazed.
It wasn't until quite a while later that she asked: "Since you're his older brother, I suppose you're very familiar with his affairs. Can you tell me about them?"
"Of course." Bei Heng smiled brightly and immediately began to recount some things about Chen Yao. After learning that Chen Yao had a special relationship with the beautiful young man who disguised himself as a woman, he spent a lot of effort collecting information about Chen Yao. Relying on his supreme status and the power of the entire Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, he quickly grasped all sorts of detailed information about Chen Yao.
At this time, when speaking of the past, it was extremely fluent. From Chen Ting's destruction of the Li family to being hunted down by Su Family's cultivators, from annihilating six Huangting cultivators and one Two Instruments Golden Elixir cultivator of the Su Family, to turning the tide single-handedly in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and then to exterminating thirty-two mysterious foreign cultivators...
Every detail was vividly described by Bei Heng, interspersed with lavish praise for Chen Yu, the brilliance of which was in no way inferior to the fantastical stories told by storytellers in ordinary tea houses, leaving Bai Wei Qing listening with relish, her emotions fluctuating between tension, excitement, pride and resentment...
Even the white wisteria next to them was mesmerized, and their gaze towards Chen Xiao underwent some subtle changes, filled with surprise and admiration.
Only the fiery red hair was like a raging fire, her eyes were still as fierce and arrogant as ever, her expression was extremely overbearing, but what she thought in her heart was unknown.
"Tong Shu, I want to go take a look at the Su's house." After listening to Bei Heng's description, Bai Weiqing fell into deep thought for a long time before suddenly saying.
"Miss, didn't you promise me that after destroying the Star Luo Palace, you would return home with me?" Bai Tong sighed: "If we delay any further, I'm afraid even I won't be able to bear the punishment of being a family head."
"Uncle Teng, you've always been the one who cared for me the most since I was young. This young man has a deep connection with me, and he's suffered so much persecution, all caused by the Su family. I want to help him." Bai Yuqing blinked her eyes, pleading: "You also know that if I go back home, I won't be able to come here again. Please, you must grant me this request."
"Isn't it, little girl? You're already so big, and you're still acting spoiled?" Bai Gan said with an incredulous expression.
Bai Wei Qing shot him a fierce glance before looking at Bai Teng again with a pitiful expression.
"Alright." Bai Teng sighed helplessly: "Miss, what do you want me to do?"
Bai Wei Qing's expression changed to one of joy, and immediately a ruthless and decisive glint appeared in her eyes: "Of course we'll destroy the Su family, cut them off at the roots, so we won't have to bother with them when searching for Chen Tai in the future."
Next to Beiheng, he heard a burst of palpitations in his heart. This woman was too terrifying. Xingluo Palace had taken away her daughter and slaughtered the entire family. Now, because of Chen Tai, she wanted to exterminate the Su family again... this was simply a female demon!
"Alright!" Bai Tong hesitated for a moment before responding, "Miss, once this matter is settled, if you continue to linger, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to take action and escort you back."
"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen again."
"Hey, you, this great Chu kingdom is after all the domain of the Huangfu family. Killing so many people, it seems that in the future when Huangfu Zhongling comes to visit the master, it won't be easy to refuse him." Bai Tong shook his head, though he was blaming, his tone was filled with a thick affectionate flavor, which anyone could taste.
But these words fell into Beiheng's ears, and instantly made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning. What? Huangfu Zhongling was the current Emperor of Chu, who possessed the four seas and was supreme, yet he had actually been refused when he visited his family's master?
Good heavens!
What kind of terrifying family is behind these three people?
