System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

In just a few breaths, only one member of the sixteen-man squad survived.

"Fairy, we have never offended you, please don't kill us." This group of cultivators was extremely unlucky. They had just decided to commit murder and robbery, but before they could even pull off a single heist, they encountered the ruthless Zhan Xin.

"I ask, you answer." Zhanxin held the flying sword magic weapon in one hand, and a deep chilling killing intent permeated the surroundings. Her beautiful face was devoid of any emotion, so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.

"I'll tell you everything I know." Although this ugly man was unsightly, he was a cultivator who had refined his body like a god and demon. He hadn't died from the sword strike just now, which was why Zhan Xin spared his life to question him.

The ugly man turned pale with fright and immediately nodded vigorously.

"Tell me, what is dual cultivation between men and women?" Zhan Xin stared coldly at the ugly man, his gaze like two sharp blades. "From beginning to end, I want every detail. If there is even one lie, I will make you regret ever being born."

"Huh?" Such a sensitive and private topic being brought up so openly made the ugly man think he was about to have some kind of romantic encounter, like the goddess being poisoned by some deadly toxin and killing her teammates just to be with him…

The thought of this possibility made the ugly man glance at Zhan Xin's perfect figure and stunning beauty, and an unbearable image immediately appeared in his mind.

"If you don't want your eyes, I can gouge them out for you right now," Zhanxin said coldly, his voice filled with endless chill.

"No, I'll tell you." The ugly man was so frightened that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly and solemnly explained what dual cultivation was, describing in detail the various aspects of male-female dual cultivation.

Such outrageous and shameful scenes and details were something Zhanxin had never heard of before in her life. She blushed deeply, and Shaxin almost lost control of himself several times.

As soon as the ugly male cultivator finished speaking, the Heart-Severing Sword was once again placed against his neck.

"Fairy, no!"

"Fairy, everything I said is true!"

"Hmph, how do I know you're not lying to me?" Zhanxin said coldly.

"I... I can swear an oath to the heavens that everything I'm saying is true, because I used to frequent those kinds of places for pleasure!" the ugly man hurriedly said, then, as if remembering something, quickly added, "By the way, fairy, I have a secret manual, and that's the proof. You'll know whether it's true or not once you read it."

As a book with a yellow cover was taken out, the man handed it over tremblingly, saying, "This is the secret manual; the fairy will understand it at a glance."

Zhan Xin took the ancient book, and with a casual flip, the ugly man's head flew far away with a "whoosh".

The sudden attack sent Zhen Nanzi flying, but as a cultivator of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he was still cursing Zhan Xin for breaking his promise. However, his life was cut off in the blink of an eye.

“This…this picture…combined with what he just said…” Zhanxin flipped through the book’s contents, and his face flushed red with shame and anger at the indescribable poses of men and women in the pictures and the text annotations.

After learning the truth, Zhan Xin was no longer able to calm down. Only now did she understand why Chen Xuan was so angry that day, and even wanted to kill her.

"He repaid kindness with enmity. The day he kissed me, his face turned an unnatural black, which was clearly a sign of demonic energy invading his body. But at the time, I was so focused on the grief of losing my immortal path that I didn't even notice that." Zhan Xin blushed, filled with remorse, and read through the book "Illustrations of Celestial Immortals" page by page. Finally, flames erupted from his palm and burned it to ashes.

"I was saved, yet I repay kindness with enmity... What kind of path do I, Zhanxin, cultivate?" After understanding everything, Zhanxin squatted on the ground, hugging his legs tightly, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Recalling how Chen Xuan's fingers trembled with anger and his murderous gaze, she felt deeply guilty and wished she could disappear into the ground.

"I wronged him." Zhan Xin was depressed for a long time before he finally rallied.

The worst fears didn't happen, which made her happy and excited. However, the fact that she had wronged Chen Xuan made her feel that there was a major flaw in her life.

"No, I want to apologize to him in person. Whether it's hitting or scolding, I'll accept it all." Zhan Xin understood during his flight that if this matter wasn't handled properly, it would inevitably breed inner demons and affect his cultivation path.

A fleeting glimpse, riding the sword's edge at incredible speed, streaking across the dim sky like a streak of light.

During this time, Zhan Xin also encountered other teams of cultivators on the ground below, but at this moment, he had no interest in anything else and only wanted to see Chen Xuan as soon as possible to apologize in person.

"Be careful, Zhan Xin from the Heavenly Purity Palace has gone berserk."

"Fortunately, she didn't come down. I heard that this woman, Zhanxin, has gone mad. Several groups of cultivators we've encountered before said that this woman not only kills people at the slightest disagreement, but also kidnaps other female cultivators. We don't know what shameful things she did to them."

This group was quite strong, with two of them being at the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. However, when this reached the ears of the other female cultivators in the group, they all turned pale, unable to imagine what that scene would be like.

Another Taoist priest, who loved gossip, stroked his beard and said, "This madman wouldn't like women, would he?"

"It was terrifying. When I came here, I was fantasizing about having a chance to meet a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Taiqing Palace. Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't."

Having divine sense, Zhanxin vaguely heard the conversation of the group below. Suddenly, everything went black, and he almost fell from the sky.

After this incident, Zhan Xin knew that his public image had completely collapsed.

However, no one can be blamed for this; she can only blame herself.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhanxin, riding the sword's edge, had already returned to the place where he had once felt immense pain and despair.

But right now.

Rumbling--

It's sizzling!

The sky darkened, the weather changed abruptly, and clusters of dark clouds continued to gather in the mining area ahead.

Streaks of lightning, capable of tearing the sky apart, flashed continuously within these converging clouds.

"Is this a tribulation cloud?" Zhan Xin looked up and saw the enormous tribulation cloud covering such a vast area. He immediately sensed the danger of death and stopped in his tracks, not daring to approach the mine entrance any further.
