Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 36 Dark Qi
Previously, Chen Xuan’s spiritual power was exhausted, and he was chased by the centipede on the Yellow Springs Road and fled frantically, while Zhu Yin just stood on Chen Xuan’s shoulder and watched the show.

At the critical moment, Chen Xuan's mind moved and he mobilized the aura of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool.

Who would have thought that when the aura of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool appeared, the centipede behind him was suddenly enveloped by a powerful pressure, and unprecedented fear appeared in its empty eyes, and then it lay motionless on the ground.

Zhu Yin was quite familiar with the situation of the centipede. After all, he had experienced the same situation before.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan no longer used magic to kill the centipede, but asked Zhu Yin to guard him while he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to heal his wounds.

In the previous battle, Chen Xuan was seriously injured. If it were not for his tenacious perseverance, he would have fallen down long ago and become a ghost in the mouth of the centipede.

After a period of recuperation, and with the help of Zhu Yin setting up a formation to assist in the treatment, Chen Xuan's injuries have improved a lot, and the exhausted spiritual power in his dantian has gradually replenished.

Then he began to think about how to deal with the centipede behind him.

Its own combat power is not outstanding, it only benefits from the gray-black dark energy emerging around it, and this centipede does not have any special abilities.

So Chen Xuan gave up the idea of ​​signing a contract with him.

He didn't know much about the Ten Thousand Demons Pool at the moment, and he didn't know what the consequences would be after contracting a monster. If there was any adverse impact on him, he would regret it.

But if he left the centipede where it was, Chen Xuan would really feel uneasy. If he encountered other monsters later, and was caught up by the centipede and attacked from behind in the middle of a fierce battle, it would be a fatal blow to Chen Xuan.

Seeing Chen Xuan's hesitant look, Zhu Yin said:

"If you ask me, it would be better to just kill him and be done with it. Why bother with all this trouble?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded. What Zhu Yin said did make some sense.

"Huh? Be careful!"

At this time, Zhu Yin suddenly reminded, and at the same time, a red light flashed on his body, as if he was ready to prepare a killing move at any time.

Chen Xuan also heard a rustling sound behind him. He was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of a centipede crawling.

Before Chen Xuan could react, a layer of spiritual power shield appeared on his body, which was set up by Zhu Yin.

At the same time, a huge head appeared beside Chen Xuan.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan's expression tightened, lightning flashed at his fingertips, and the lightning spell was ready.

But just when the two were on the verge of a fight, the centipede suddenly lowered its body, pressed its entire body against the ground, and let out a hissing sound from its mouth.

Chen Xuan was stunned, but when he saw that there was no sign of attack, he felt relieved.

After a moment, Chen Xuan pointed at the back of the centipede and asked tentatively:

"You want me to go up?"

Hearing this, the centipede seemed very excited and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment. He couldn't be sure what the centipede's intentions were. What if it was just pretending to be obedient and then suddenly attacked...

Finally, he decided to give it a try. His injuries had almost recovered and he was able to fight. Zhu Yin, who was at the peak of the Qi training stage, was always on guard beside him. Compared to him, this thousand-legged centipede could not cause any waves.

After making up his mind, Chen Xuan jumped up and jumped onto the back of the centipede. The centipede was huge, and it seemed very spacious for Chen Xuan to stand on it, so Chen Xuan simply sat down cross-legged.

After Chen Xuan sat firmly, the faint dark energy lingering on the centipede began to surge wildly, and then wrapped Chen Xuan and Zhu Yin.

Then the centipede with a thousand legs carried Chen Xuan and rushed forward.

The centipede was not slow. At its full speed, it was almost the same speed as Chen Xuan's after he cast the Wind-Stepping Spell.

Chen Xuan felt the dark energy enveloping him. This dark energy, like spiritual energy, contained immense energy. However, unlike spiritual energy, spiritual energy felt gentle and intimate. Once absorbed into the body, it would automatically warm the host's meridians. However, the dark energy before him contained extremely violent energy and exuded a chilling coldness.

At this time, Zhu Yin's reminder came to my ears:
"Boy, you have to be careful. The energy in this dark energy is extremely violent. If you take it into your body, your meridians will not be able to withstand the impact with their current strength.

Once it enters the body, there is only one outcome: the meridians are severed, the Dantian is shattered, and there is no chance of immortality in this life."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan withdrew his hand awkwardly. He had indeed wanted to absorb some dark energy to see if he could store it in his dantian, but after hearing what Zhu Yin said, he had to give up for the time being.

"I always feel that this dark energy has something in common with spiritual energy."

Hearing that he could not absorb the dark energy, Chen Xuan sighed and then said so.

"Huh~"

Hearing what Chen Xuan said, Zhu Yin let out a sigh, appearing extremely surprised:

"You may not be very old, but you are very careful and attentive. I can see it from this!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up immediately. He turned to look at Zhu Yin and asked excitedly:

"Could it be that these two things can really communicate with each other?"

Zhu Yin curled his lips:

"What are you thinking? How could they possibly communicate with each other?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a sense of loss again. He had originally thought that he would give it a try once his body was strong enough. If there was really a way for the two to coexist, it might be a great opportunity.

Then he looked at Zhu Yin and said:
"Then what did you mean by that?"

Zhu Yin paused and explained:

"I don't mean they can communicate with each other, but I mean they all have one thing in common."

"What do they have in common?" Chen Xuan asked hurriedly.

Seeing Chen Xuan's anxious look, Zhu Yin paused, then began to speak:
“That’s a long story.

There are many types of "qi" in this world, the most common of which is the air people breathe every day. There is nothing special about this kind of qi.

In addition to these, there are many types of qi that can only be produced under special circumstances, such as the spiritual energy that is most familiar to those who practice Taoism, the dark energy in front of us now, the demonic energy used by our demon race for cultivation, the demonic energy on the bodies of demon cultivators, and so on. There are extremely many types.

First, let’s talk about spiritual energy. A great man in ancient times once said: Heaven and earth have Tao, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and they regard emptiness as emptiness.

In other words, all things in the world possess yin and yang energy, and the combination of these yin and yang energy gives all things intelligence.

The so-called spiritual energy is born from the combination of yin and yang, so wherever there are spiritual places in the world, there is spiritual energy.

The dark energy before our eyes is also called Yin dark energy. It is the most yin energy among the yin and yang energies, and is usually only born in the most yin places in the world.

There is only one extremely yin place in the world, and that is the underworld. Apart from the underworld, other extremely yin places that can appear in the world of the living are not enough to produce the underworld energy.

The most generated in these places is evil energy, which is also a type of dark energy, but its quality is far inferior to that of dark energy."

"and many more!"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and interrupted Zhu Yin:

"You said that Nether Qi can only be produced in the Underworld. So, you mean... the place we are in right now is the real Underworld?"
