188: Xuanhuang

As Zhang Xuan closed his eyes,

the vibrant, colorful world shattered, and all past and present existence turned into nothingness.

A black snake shadow emerged from the broken world.

Its eyes showed a hint of silence.

This was perhaps the ordinary life he had failed to live in his previous existence.

Now, through this evolution, some of the regrets in his heart were mended.

A new understanding continuously brewed within his heart.

"I am me."

"The me of the past life is me, Mo Xuan of this life is me, and Zhang Xuan is also me."

"I am neither human nor demon..."

"But human is me, and demon is also me."

Mo Xuan's eyes gradually brightened, and the boundless darkness, which had reformed after the world's shattering, began to rumble continuously.

At the same time,

deep beneath Qingyuan Lake,

within the body of the two-hundred-zhang-long Black Giant Serpent,

a perfectly round demon core began to show subtle cracks.

Inside, a transparent, infant-like small snake was gestating.

"Today, heaven and earth shall witness me."

In the turbulent, boundless darkness,

the black snake shadow, now merged with the darkness, with only a pair of bright snake eyes like the light of the world remaining, chanted in a low voice.

"Boom!"

As the words fell,

the darkness exploded.

Endless light poured into the darkness.

"Bang!"

Just then,

within the snake's body,

the perfectly round demon core completely shattered, and the infant-like small snake that had been gestating suddenly opened its eyes.

The infant-like small snake saw this world for the first time, and was also seen by this world.

A sense of restraint came from its body.

Mo Xuan's heart stirred.

"At this point, why hide?"

Immediately, he released the restraints in his heart.

His snake body moved, slowly breaking through the restrictions on him.

"Rumble!"

The area around Qingyuan Town was like heaven and earth overturning, the world collapsing, and the earth shaking.

In Qingyuan Lake, the lake water boiled, Spiritual Qi surged, fish and shrimp panicked, and water beasts scattered wildly.

Within the Zhou Family, Zhou Licheng and Zhou Liyue, along with several other core members of the Zhou Family, gathered.

As soon as the commotion began, they all rose and looked towards Qingyuan Lake.

They saw:

A massive, ferocious black snake head broke through the water surface of the lake, its snake eyes like the sun and moon, radiating boundless divine light, as it glided up from the lake surface.

Its snake body was enormous, its scales shimmering with light, smooth and seamless.

With every movement,

the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker.

Wind rose, clouds surged, and rain fell.

The Black Giant Serpent slowly ascended into the air, its thousand-zhang-long body fully revealed to the world.

In Qingyuan Town,

countless Cultivators were horrified, looking up to see a boundless giant beast soaring into the sky.

"That is..."

"The direction of the Zhou Family, could it be..."

"Old Ancestor Mo?"

Someone, unable to hide the shock in his heart, cried out.

"Such power..."

Within the Crescent Moon Sect, three Foundation Establishment Cultivators emerged from their respective Immortal Caves.

It wasn't that they hadn't experienced the might of a Golden Core True Person.

Moreover, they had also seen Mo Xuan's Incarnation.

At that time, it was nowhere near this massive.

The three exchanged glances, guessing in their hearts, their faces filled with lingering surprise and doubt.

Xuanqing Sect, Suqing Peak.

True Lord Herun, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, a slight shock in his heart.

In the place where Spiritual Qi permeated, amidst mountains surrounded by Immortal Qi,

within Xuanxia Peak,

True Monarch Tianya's expression suddenly changed.

He unconsciously crushed the teacup in his hand.

Across from him,

Elder Chu saw True Monarch Tianya's sudden change in expression and quickly put down his teacup, asking:

"True Monarch, what has happened?"

"Mo Xuan has formed his Nascent Soul."

That undisguised Aura of the Nascent Soul Stage was like a guiding beacon in the perception of a Nascent Soul True Lord.

True Monarch Tianya's heart was filled with unceasing shock; he remained silent for a moment before slowly replying.

"What?"

"This, how is this possible?"

"How could it be so fast?"

Elder Chu was greatly alarmed.

His face was filled with disbelief as he exclaimed.

True Monarch Tianya slowly shook his head, saying no more, but there was a hint of a sigh in his heart.

"I still underestimated this Mo Xuan. Could this Mo Xuan be the Reincarnation of a Demon Venerable?"

True Monarch Tianya waved his sleeve, turning the shattered teacup into nothingness.

Qingzhou, Jiang Family Ancestral Land.

An old man suddenly rose, surprised in his heart, and the Aura on his body was inadvertently leaked out.

"Old Ancestor, what has happened?"

Several Golden Core Immortal Masters were drawn by the old man's Aura, rising into the air, bowing to him, and asking.

"Zhou Family's Mo Xuan has successfully formed his Nascent Soul."

"Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Zhou Family."

The old man ignored the disbelief of the Jiang Family Immortal Masters and instructed the one leading them.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

The old man waved his hand, and the Jiang Family Immortal Masters withdrew.

"The situation has become more complicated..."

The old man was the Jiang Family's Nascent Soul True Lord.

Named Jiang Beiming.

Outsiders called him True Monarch Beiming.

Above Qingyuan Town,

within the thousand-zhang snake body,

an infant-like transparent small snake leaped out from the snake's head.

The newly born Nascent Soul adapted for a moment, then began to perceive carefully.

Everything around it—Spiritual Qi, wind and rain, dark clouds, earth, trees, Cultivators, Mortals, birds and beasts, chirping insects, cities—all appeared in minute detail within the perception of this newborn Nascent Soul.

Mo Xuan's mind stirred, and the Nascent Soul flickered, as if it hadn't moved, yet in reality, it had already toured the entire Qingyuan Town.

"At the Nascent Soul Stage, it's no longer so easy to kill..."

Mo Xuan understood; the speed of this Nascent Soul was several times faster than his body.

Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage could already flash and maneuver.

If the Nascent Soul's speed was several times faster, without absolute certainty, the Nascent Soul would escape, allowing for Possession and Reincarnation.

After perceiving for a moment, the transparent small snake returned to his body.

Mo Xuan stretched his thousand-zhang-long body and merged into the dark clouds.

With a thought, he opened his panel.

"Ding~"

"One hundred and fifty years; this Breakthrough also took two years."

"It's exactly one hundred years since I came out of the Tianshui Mountain Range."

"Forming a Nascent Soul in a century..."

Mo Xuan sighed slightly, a feeling of melancholy in his heart.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on becoming one of us."

A voice full of righteousness entered Mo Xuan's ears.

Mo Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

"Immortal Master."

Mo Xuan nodded; the voice was indeed from True Lord He.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you and I are now in the same Realm; we should address each other as Fellow Daoist."

True Lord He's voice came again.

Mo Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist He."

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you can come to Suqing Peak for a visit in the future."

The voice disappeared.

"Uncle Xuan."

"Old Ancestor."

At this moment, the Zhou Family members had also flown to a spot not far in front of Mo Xuan, their eyes filled with joy and excitement.

Compared to Mo Xuan's massive body, the few Zhou Family members were as tiny as dust.

With a thought, his body shrunk, and Mo Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

On this day,

the Zhou Family's Old Ancestor Mo shattered his Golden Core and formed his Nascent Soul, his power shaking the heavens and moving the universe.

When the news spread,

people honored him as Xuan Emperor.
