Chapter 46: The Decree of the Abyss

  First update! Collect! Brothers, please help me with a bit of effort, rush into the top five of the new book chart!

  ——

  The city of Blood occupies a vast area, with countless houses made of bluestone scattered all over the place, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

  At present, there are only about 10,000 people in the entire city of Bloodshed. In addition, these houses are all ownerless lands, so everyone can choose a house to live in.

  However, the fact is not so. Hiding in the city of bloodshed, although it can avoid the beasts outside the city like a vast ocean, but the killing and contention between cultivators are inevitable.

  No choice, the value of the jade bead is too high. An innocent man may be wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit. In this isolated and bloody mountainous region, anything can happen.

  So for the sake of their own safety, most people choose to gather in houses near some strong people. Firstly, when fighting occurs, there are many people and eyes are messy, if there are familiar people helping each other, that's the best; secondly, no one dares to guarantee whether a scene like mantis catching cicada and oriole behind will appear.

  Chen Xiao and others entered the city of bloodshed, all the way, seeing many such scenes, didn't think it was strange.

  "This time, the Southern Barbarian's Dark Domain trial is different from before. Those who can be widely recognized as strong must undoubtedly be Zifu Realm cultivators. Although their cultivation is restricted to the Pre-Heavenly Boundary, relatively speaking, this level of cultivation has already reached the pinnacle."

  As they passed by a house where over a hundred cultivators were gathered, Du Qingxi explained to Chen Xiang in a low voice, "You see, there are four Purple Mansion cultivators here. They should be from the Fengxia Sect of the Southern Border. Each and every one of them has an extremely powerful aura, and their strength is only higher than Li Huai's."

  Chen Yao raised his eyes and saw that in front of a stone house in the center, four monks dressed in luxurious clothes were chatting and laughing. There was a sturdy middle-aged man, an emaciated old man, and two young men and women. All four wore crimson purple robes with exquisite patterns embroidered on them, depicting fire phoenixes flying and clouds swirling around.

  "Are they also here for the Sword Immortal's Cave Mansion?"

  Chen Xiao was taken aback, and it wasn't until now that he realized that apart from Li Hua and Su Jiao, there were so many Zifu cultivators who had come, fully demonstrating the great appeal of this Sword Immortal Cave Mansion.

  "That's natural, but the Fengxia Sect is not worth worrying about. Compared to the eight major sects of Longyuan City, the three universities, and our six major families, the Fengxia Sect is just a small force."

  Du Mu spoke with a proud and arrogant tone, his words exuding an air of superiority that was hard to shake off.

  Four monks from Fengxia Valley stopped talking in the distance, looking at Chen Yu and others with gloomy faces. However, they seemed to have recognized the identity of Du Mu Ze and the three, although they were annoyed, but did not mean to take action.

  "Hurry up and go." Du Qingxi glared at Duanmu Ze with a sideways glance, turned around and walked towards the city center.

  In the center of Blood City, five stone towers stand tall and straight into the clouds. Compared to the low and short stone houses around them, they are as eye-catching as a crane standing among chickens.

  What surprised Chen Xuan was that inside the five stone pagodas, a strong and powerful aura emanated from each one, none of which were weaker than Du Qingxi or Duanmu Ze, and some even surpassed them!

  At this time, more than 3,000 monks gathered beside the five stone pagodas. As far as the eye could see, there were only black heads everywhere. From this, it can be seen that the monks who lived in these five stone pagodas must have been extremely powerful and had already gained recognition from everyone present, otherwise they would not have formed such a lively scene.

  Chen Yu and his group, after circling around the city center, casually found a huge stone house not far from the city center. Although the conditions were simple, the space was extremely large, and it could easily accommodate four people.

  "Everyone, although we don't have to worry about the demonic beasts tonight, we still need to be careful, especially you, Chen Suo. You've already thoroughly offended Su Jiao today, so it's best if you don't leave our side." After resting for a while in the stone house, Du Qingxi instructed.

  Chen Tang was cooking and nodded immediately upon hearing this.

  Today's battle, although he won against Li Hua, his physical strength and true yuan were also greatly consumed. If he doesn't recover to his best state, he wouldn't dare act rashly with Du Qingxiang and the other two around, at least it would be safer that way.

  "By the way, how did you come to possess a Hollow Token?" Tan Mu Ze sat up straight and asked Chen Yu.

  "...obtained from the hands of a giant purple rhinoceros demon..." Chen Xiao explained in detail how he met Wu Guan Jia, and how he rescued those poor people who were made into 'tribute goods', until finally killing the Purple Mansion's great demon.

  In the past, Chen Yao would never have said so much to Duanmu Ze, but along the way, Duanmu Ze had shown him kindness several times, and in their conversations, he no longer had that hint of arrogance and disdain. This made Chen Yao feel a sense of pride, and he understood the reason why. It was simply because he had previously defeated Li Hua, indirectly proving his strength.

  After all, strong strength is the guarantee of changing everything!

  "No wonder, the Li family used so-called 'tribute' to entice the Purple Rhinoceros Demon with this Hollow Seal. " Duanmu Ze suddenly realized and burst out laughing: "It's ironic that you unexpectedly obtained this Hollow Seal, the Li family is like pouring water into a bamboo basket, all their efforts are in vain."

  "Is there anything wonderful about the Dark Order?" Chen Tai asked.

  This time, however, it was Du Qingxi who replied. She looked at Chen Xiao with a hint of surprise and explained: "I suppose you also know that this time, many Zifu realm cultivators have entered the Nanyuan Mingyu to hunt for Xiezhu. Their goal is not the same as others, but rather the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion. And the Dongming Order is the key to opening the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion. Without it, no matter how high your cultivation is, you won't be able to get close to the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion."

  "Does the Sword Immortal's Cave really exist?"

  Chen Xiao was stunned, all along he had thought of the so-called Sword Immortal's Cave as a rumor, extremely vague. At this moment, hearing that the cave token in his hand was actually the key to opening the Sword Immortal's Cave, his heart couldn't help but start racing with excitement.

  Sword Immortal!

  Entities that can be called 'immortals' must have cultivated to at least the level of passing the heavenly tribulation, reaching the standard of breaking through the heavenly tribulation and becoming a celestial immortal. At an even higher level, they would have passed the nine-layered heavenly tribulation and become a heavenly immortal who has ascended to the top!

  But whether it's a broken calamity immortal or a heavenly immortal, they are all terrifying existences that Chen Xiao can only look up to now, and the cave left behind is bound to make people's hearts move.

  "It is certain that a month later, at the end of the Nanyuan Mingyu, a three-talent shifting array will appear. Through it, people can be transported to the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion."

  Du Qingxi replied firmly, then suddenly changed the subject and said: "However, you don't have to worry either. The Dongming Order is not just in your hands alone. Those Zifu realm cultivators who come to Nanman Mingyu, more or less, all possess a Dongming Order. Moreover, one piece of Dongming Order can allow three cultivators to enter the Sword Immortal's mansion at the same time. Plus, with the three of us here, unless someone is reckless and crazy, no one will dare to come and snatch your Dongming Order."

  Chen Xiao secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was indeed worried about this point, but since Du Qingxi had mentioned it, he felt a bit embarrassed and changed the subject: "The Sword Immortal's estate is so precious, why are all the cultivators who come in at the Purple Mansion Realm? Don't those great cultivators at the Yellow Court Realm and the Two Instruments Golden Elixir Realm feel tempted?"

  "It's also helpless, the space of Nanman Mingyu can't withstand the power of the cultivators above the Zi Fu, even if they use the Fengyuan Dan to reduce their cultivation to the Xiantian realm. As soon as they make a move, the martial arts realm they exhibit will inevitably destroy the operating rules of this space and ultimately destroy this space."

  Du Qingxi replied very detailedly, her clear and cold voice fell into his ears, it was really nice to hear.

  So that's how it is!

  This explanation fits everything Chen Tai has seen, but he still has a doubt and asks: "Since there is a Sword Immortal Cave Mansion in the Nanyuan Mingyu, why hasn't it been discovered in previous years, but only appeared during this trial exercise?"

  According to Chen's knowledge, the history of Nán Màn's existence can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. However, in this long period of time, there were hardly any rumors about Jiān Xiān Dòng Fǔ, which is somewhat too strange.

  "This cave appears once every ten thousand years, and this year just so happens to be another ten thousand years!" Du Qingxi replied slowly.

  Appears once in ten thousand years?

  Chen Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath of cool air, the Sword Immortal's cave mansion had been passed down for far too long, it was simply unimaginable!

  Nor did he know which Sword Immortal it was, or why another cave mansion had been left behind in this Nanyuan underworld.

  After eating the dishes cooked by Chen Yu, Du Qingxi and the others began to meditate and rest, while Chen Yu sat on one side, silently thinking about everything he had seen today.

  "Dong Ming Order... Jian Xian Dong Fu... I didn't expect that I also have the qualifications to enter, but if I want to gain benefits from it, I will inevitably conflict with those Zifu Realm guys. It seems that in this month's time, I must raise my cultivation well!"

  Chen Xiao sank into deep thought for a long time, no longer considering so many things. He reached into his storage bag and pulled out several pieces of Ling Crystal, beginning to sit in meditation and cultivate.

  Splash!

  Surging pure yuan energy poured into the body's meridians, circulating eighteen cycles of heaven and earth, then transformed into a gentle stream flowing into the dantian.

  After a day of rushing, and another fierce battle with Li Hua, Chen Tang's body and mind were exhausted to the extreme. At this moment, as soon as he started cultivating, he felt his whole body warm and cozy, like soaking in a hot spring, and his physical strength and mental energy were recovering at an astonishing speed.

  Crack! Crack!

  Two pieces of spiritual crystal turned into powder, the true yuan in Dantian was already saturated, but Chen Xiao had a feeling that something was not quite right. After thinking for a moment, he took out two more pieces of spiritual crystal.

  In the past, Chen Yao's daily income from making talismans was only a few dozen yuan, and he had to maintain his livelihood while also helping his younger brother pay tuition fees. Even using one yuan to cultivate seemed extravagant, and he often worried about the spiritual energy needed for cultivation, so it was impossible for him to make significant progress in his realm.

  But now it's different, during the time he practiced cooking in Qingxi Wine House, he not only earned a lot of yuan stone, but also got to eat spiritual dishes every day, his boundary level rose with the tide, until he obtained 3,000 pieces of ling crystal from Zixi Great Demon, after buying martial skills and Qingchong Sword, there were still nearly 400 pieces of ling crystal left. No longer need to worry about cultivation problems at all.

  Rustle! Rustle!......

  A piece of spiritual crystal shattered into powder, if Chen Xuan were awake, he would definitely feel a sharp pain, but now he was too late to think, and vaguely had a feeling that his cultivation was about to break through the First Heaven Nine Layers Realm!
