"

At this moment, night has fallen, and the sky above Chengdu is dotted with countless stars. A giant, luminous tree illuminates the entire city, bathing it in a silvery glow, like a giant moon in the sky.

Outside the Ninth Mountain Hall of the Jiannan Daofu Division on Yunding Mountain, heavy with black armor and soldiers, guards stood every three steps and sentries every five. The entire Ninth Mountain's protective barrier was activated, creating an impenetrable and oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

The firelight flickered back and forth with the patrolling soldiers. Outside the Zhonglang Hall, several figures in red armor knelt on one knee on the steps in front of the gate, their faces appearing ashen in the intermittent flashes of firelight.

In a quiet room of the Zhonglang Hall, the sounds of drums beating, the rushing of the river, and heavy breathing could be heard.

Inside, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the void, his body as clear and bright as crystal, his body radiating a dazzling blood-gold light, intensely intense, as if it were tangible.

The sound of drums is his heartbeat.

The rushing sound of the river was the sound of his essence and blood flowing through his blood vessels, like a surging river.

At this moment, Chen Yuan's luck points were being rapidly depleted.
-
1, -1, -1
Conversely, his body is filled with a vast ocean of vital energy, his flesh and blood are like a volcanic eruption, and his blood and qi are like rivers, boiling and roaring.

A series of cracking sounds, like spider webs, echoed intermittently within his body.

Within the physical body, new furnaces burst into flames deep within the flesh and blood, illuminating an even deeper depth. As the furnaces burned, they tempered the new flesh and blood, releasing crimson blood vapor that emitted bursts of sound. This vapor then spewed out from the pores, emitting a strange, blood-gold light.

Layer upon layer of immense power, as the furnaces were lit, was applied to the physical body, making the heartbeat even stronger and more powerful, carrying terrifying vibrations that caused the restrictions of this quiet room to tremble.

The surging hot blood was like a thousand horses galloping in silence, its sound like a thousand waves crashing one after another, its momentum rising ever stronger.

The blood and qi flowing through the meridians gradually turned golden, as if ancient divine script were emerging between the flesh and blood. With each heartbeat, those patterns trembled like living things, carrying a mysterious power.

The breathing became increasingly rapid.

It's like the feeling of reaching the peak during sex.

However, after a short while, this momentum suddenly stalled, the surging blood energy stopped rising, and the beating heartbeat gradually calmed down.

After a while, the blood-gold light on Chen Yuan's body receded into his body, and the sound of blood flowing like a rushing river calmed down. His body, which had been sitting cross-legged in the void, slowly descended and landed on a futon.

Everything in the quiet room returned to stillness and fell into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, two golden lights suddenly illuminated the dark room; they were Chen Yuan's eyes.

As the intense golden light faded, Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, somewhat helpless.
"It's still close!"

Luck points are depleted again.

This feeling is really unpleasant; it's always just a little bit off!
He never expected that cultivating the essence flower would be so difficult. His physical body was like a bottomless pit, consuming a massive amount of luck points, yet it was still difficult to fill it.

"Essence Flower" is a Taoist term, also known as innate essence, which is simply the origin of life. After that, there is "Qi Flower," innate primordial Qi, and "Divine Flower," which is the primordial spirit and true self.

The Five Elements converge to form the Dragon and Tiger; the Three Flowers gather at the crown to achieve the Martial Saint.

There is no particular order to these practices; the path is one of discerning truth from falsehood and returning to one's original, simple self.

Chen Yuan was confident in his strong physical body, cultivated an indestructible physique, and had several divine treasures that continuously provided him with essence and energy, constantly refining his flesh and blood. His life essence had reached a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people. Therefore, he first cultivated the path of "essence flower" to strengthen his foundation and elevate his life level.

I thought things would fall into place naturally.

As a result, he discovered that his physical body was like a bottomless pit!

Having broken through the Dragon-Tiger barrier in Yinshan, annihilated an entire clan, and returned to the capital city today, I accumulated approximately 12,000 points, which I then added to the battle.

Just like unlocking the shackles of his physical body for the first time, opening up the Ren and Du meridians, and cultivating supernatural powers, the eight extraordinary meridians, twelve regular meridians, and all the acupoints large and small in his body were ignited in the furnace, raising the level of his physical body.

Now, he has about two hundred furnaces of qi and blood within his body, and his life essence is so powerful that it's almost exaggerated.

Cultivation is essentially a leap in one's level of life. Chen Yuan thought to himself, "If I'm still unable to condense the essence flower even after all this, it's unimaginable how terrifyingly powerful the physical body must be at the level of a Martial Saint."

Or perhaps, the threshold of one's own flesh and blood has been developed too high, resulting in the need for a large amount of life essence to achieve this?
Chen Yuan's thoughts drifted for a while before he put them aside. He knew that thinking too much was pointless. Golden light gathered in his eyes, turning into specks of lacquer that shimmered in the darkness.

Now is the perfect opportunity to seize the life essence of demons amidst the chaos!

After all, he had been planning this for so long.

It seems that the news of his serious injury is being spread in Chengdu right now. He deliberately spread it to avoid attention, temporarily avoid the limelight, and wait for an opportunity to strike.

The main force of human experts is probably rapidly converging on Chengdu. He'll take the lead, and he won't need to worry about the ancestral mountain matters anymore.

The Ten Thousand Mountains will certainly not give up easily!
He's just waiting for a human dragon and tiger to intervene, ignite the fire, and restrain the top demon of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so he can go steal the chicken.

As for whether things will go as expected, and when they will erupt, that's beyond his control.

All he could do was make as much noise as possible to attract everyone to Zushan.

As for what lies deep within the ancestral mountain, he neither knew nor wanted to investigate.

One should maintain a sense of awe. The closer one gets to the ancestral mountain, the more one feels how deep the waters run. In addition, the information Chen Yuan received from the old temple keeper at the Martial Temple made it impossible for him to see through the fog of mystery, which remained shrouded in secrecy.

He knew he had a shortcut to take, so there was no need to risk his life for baseless rumors. He understood exactly what he wanted!
Even if it means using any means necessary!
As Chen Yuan pondered, his gaze shifted downwards, the glittering golden dots in his eyes particularly striking. Then, he stretched out his hand, and a black box appeared in his palm.

It was about a foot square, without any gaps.

This item was given to me by the temple priest of the Martial Temple before I left the capital. He said it was a great formation that could trap celestial beings and required the combined efforts of many people.

He couldn't understand this object, nor could he understand the old temple keeper, so this object was a hot potato.

He wasn't going to keep it in his own hands.

We can take this opportunity to give it away.

However, there's no rush. Right now, there's another important thing to do.

He thought for a moment, then stood up, and with a flick of his body, disappeared from the dark, quiet room.

When he reappeared, he was in a courtyard halfway up the mountain.

The compound was heavily guarded. However, upon his return this time, he discovered that there were many more animals inside.

A large black dog crouched on the roof, looking up at the sacred tree of Yinshan Mountain, howling and barking wildly.

A stray cat sleeping on the artificial hill.

A little bluebird was sleeping, hanging upside down at the foot of the eaves;

beavers that build their nests in the pond and under the covered bridge;

Chen Yuan appeared here silently, releasing a slight aura.

The animals sensed the familiar presence and sprang to life, their eyes lighting up as they headed towards Chen Yuan.

Only the big black dog on the roof, howling at the sacred tree of Yinshan, turned and ran away as soon as it saw Chen Yuan, its eyes filled with resentment, and it slunk away down the mountain.

"grown ups!"

"Owner."

"."

The little animals ran up to Chen Yuan, chattering excitedly.

It turns out that these were all contracted demons that Chen Yuan had released to roam at the foot of the Ninth Mountain!
The group that came from Qingshan County with Chen Yuan in the beginning, and later accompanied him to the front lines, but these contracted demons were of less and less help to him, so he arranged for them to cultivate peacefully at the foot of the mountain and live a retired life ahead of time, and he never neglected their cultivation resources.

Looking back now, most of these minor demons have broken through the Body Profound Realm.

Chen Yuan kicked away the two round, chubby brothers, Benbo'er and Babo'er, who were trying to pounce on his legs, and looked at them like a group of children, laughing as he said:
"Why are you here?"

As he spoke, he glanced again at the eaves where the big black dog had left.
What's wrong with that dog?

"Sir, we'll stay here with our young master."

"Who told you that?" A glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"It's Old Black!"

"It's that dog senior."

"It seemed unhappy, howling and wailing in the mountains all day long, which was so noisy that we couldn't stand up to it. We tried to reason with it, but we couldn't win. That's how we got to know it. Then it told us about its little master, and that's how we came to protect it."

These little demons chattered amongst themselves, their voices carrying a touch of childishness, having grown accustomed to the carefree days of the Ninth Mountain.

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, having overlooked the celestial dog. He had wiped out the celestial dog clan, and that celestial dog had been following An Ge all along.

If this dog were to leak the information... A murderous glint flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Just then, the door to one of the rooms in the courtyard opened gently.

Chen Yuan looked up, then waved his hand, "Let's disperse, go do what you need to do."

After saying that, he swayed and arrived at the open door.

Behind the opened door, a pair of large, beautiful, sparkling blue eyes appeared.

Then, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and a plump, soft body threw itself into Chen Yuan's arms.

"General!"

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Chen Yuan patted An Ge's back in his arms, quietly sensing the surge of her emotions.

Our Loulan princess is becoming more and more like a young woman!
"I'm fine. Didn't I already send someone to inform you? It's just an act." He patted An Ge's back, then helped her up by the shoulder. The two looked at each other and smiled.

This was a rare moment of tenderness from Chen Yuan.

"Is the general really alright?" An Ge was unsure, recalling the great battle during the day and the scene of the Ninth Mountain soldiers making a ruckus, saying that the general was injured and everyone wanted to go see him.

"I'm not the kind of person who would recklessly try to be strong." Chen Yuan helped her into the room, then couldn't help but look around, "Where's An'an?"

"Shh, go to sleep!" An Ge held up a finger, made a shushing gesture, and whispered.

Chen Yuan didn't move, but his eyes gleamed with a golden light as he looked into the room, a fatherly smile on his face.

So cute!

It's grown even bigger.

After pausing to watch for a while, Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and then fixed it on An Ge, his voice trailing off.
"I'm afraid it will be tough for you and your daughter for a while."

"What does the general mean?" An Ge was a very intelligent woman and sensed that there was more to his words than met the eye.

"Chengdu is now a place of great upheaval, with heroes from all over the world gathering here. It is no longer safe here."

“I haven’t left the house, yet the news of that celestial tomb has reached my ears. It seems this matter is of great importance. Even I am curious, so it’s no wonder that others are curious as well.” An Ge nodded upon hearing this, her light blue eyes revealing a strange light.

"I was the one who spread the news about the burial of that person." Chen Yuan immediately reversed course, becoming serious.

An Ge couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes wide, her stunning face filled with shock.

"Can this still happen?"

"The world is bustling with people who come for profit. This news is not something I made up out of thin air, but is true. I'm just taking this opportunity to expose it."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he looked at An Ge with bright eyes.
"I'm only responsible for exposing it; I don't know how things will unfold, so I don't know what kind of monsters it will attract. Jin Guan City is too close to Zu Shan, and it has become unsafe, with the risk of getting out of control. Most importantly, there are many people watching me now."

"The imperial court, demons, and all sorts of monsters and monsters, ha. My feigned injury during the fierce battle with the great demon was to avoid their gaze."

"Therefore, I plan to send someone to secretly escort you and your daughter out of Chengdu."

When a person has a weakness, they will devise a long-term plan to address it.

Chen Yuan needed to make plans in advance to mitigate the risks for the mother and daughter.

"it is good!"

“I will listen to the general.” An Ge nodded seriously, without asking where they were going. She unconditionally trusted Chen Yuan.

Then, the two fell silent, and a strange atmosphere settled in the room.

There was a sense of awkwardness from not seeing each other for so long, and a hint of restraint as they anticipated what might happen; their eyes met in the dimly lit room.

It's best to transform it into a soft whisper in the night, full of tender affection.

"General, let me help you undress!" (End of Chapter)
