80: Chapter 39: Terrible Omen! The Disappearance of Xiaomu Pavilion
Boom!
Just as the few of them left the ground.
Pillars of fire erupted one after another.
A massive amount of volcanic ash shot into the sky, turning the entire horizon pitch black, as if the world were ending.
"Hurry and leave!"
The group flew up a thousand meters into the sky, avoiding the columns of lava and fire.
[Great Omen!]
Chen Xuan thought of the third Jade Slip.
He immediately summoned the heavenly book golden decree to take a look!
[Great Omen: Venturing deep into Nanming Volcano might provoke the True Spirit sleeping within. If the True Spirit flies into a rage, the Southern Region will be completely destroyed.]
Chen Xuan looked inside.
A majestic fire Phoenix was sleeping, gestating deep within the volcano.
Just seeing this form made Chen Xuan feel difficulty breathing.
It was hard to imagine what kind of existence this was to be called a True Spirit.
A True Spirit!
Beside this massive fire Phoenix was a golden, pyramid-like structure, over ten miles long and several miles high; it looked more like a Small World.
And this commotion!
It seemed that she had indeed been provoked.
Could it be that Xiao Muting had entered the core area?
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
If the Southern Region were destroyed, how would he survive?
More than half of his Foundation for the hundred generations of Reincarnation would be severed.
When the chamber of commerce opened the road to the Central Province, he had also sent out a batch of Bloodline descendants.
In this way, there was no need to worry about a retreat.
"What should we do?" Liu Lili was a bit dazed at this moment.
"The Sect hasn't replied to me yet."
Chen Xuan looked at the Senior Sister approaching him. He could smell the girl's faint fragrance, which couldn't help but make his mind wander. He quickly shook his head to sober up:
"Let's escape first."
"The Southern Border is filled with poisonous insects and countless fire miasmas."
"We are fine for a short time after taking the Miasma-Avoiding Pill, but staying for long will inevitably affect our Foundation."
"Alright!" The group had no other choice at this moment.
Everywhere they looked, lava was spraying.
It landed on the ground and quickly solidified into black-brown earth.
Meanwhile, countless people were wailing on the ground.
There were even Loose Cultivators being intercepted and killed by rogue cultivators while trying to escape.
The three of them applied a stack of Talismanic Incantations to protect themselves and accelerated!
Chen Xuan and the others acted with chivalry, immediately using their Flying Swords to take the heads of the attackers.
However, faced with such a natural disaster, there was nothing they could do.
After half a day of flying, they hadn't even seen a Flying Boat from the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Fortunately, they had made it out of the Southern Border region.
The volcanic eruption had stopped.
"Yun Qi!" Liu Lili called out Chen Xuan's true name in this life.
This journey of life and death.
The relationship between the two had drawn much closer.
"The Sect has sent a message."
"They want us to return first."
Chen Xuan nodded.
Liu Lili had experienced this life-and-death calamity with him.
Their emotions had barely calmed down even now.
And Xiao Ye now completely lacked the arrogance of a Genius. When he first met Chen Xuan, he only thought it would be lucky if "Yun Qi" could cultivate to the Late-stage Qi Refining in this lifetime.
He didn't expect that this guy would not only be favored by the Liuyang Sword Sect but also be valued by a noble lady.
In the future, he would most likely become Liu Lili's Dao Companion.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye thought of the Young Misses in his Family.
He cursed them as mediocre and common.
It was a pity; for him in this life, being able to marry the mediocre and common women in his Family was already not bad.
Many male cultivators could never marry the Dao Companion they loved in their entire lives, instead spending large amounts of dowry to marry a female cultivator they didn't love.
Just because... the Southern Region had strong Family values, and continuing the Family line was considered filial piety.
Under the oversight of the three major Sects, there was only joining, no neutrality.
Every Family had to pay taxes to the upper Sect.
There were no exceptions.
If it was an individual, it was even more miserable.
Entering a city cost money, staying cost money, and even for transactions, Loose Cultivators had to pay extra service fees.
"Xiao Ye, come with us."
Xiao Ye and Xiao Muting had come out together.
If Xiao Ye returned alone.
The Xiao Family would definitely be affected, and rumors within the clan would be the beginning of the Family's decline.
"Alright!"
Xiao Ye had heard Chen Xuan's analysis on the road, and now he had figured it out.
"I must achieve a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment before the age of thirty and return with dignity."
Xiao Ye muttered.
He believed that he could carve out his own path in Wanjian Immortal City.
Going from Wanjian Immortal City to Bihai Immortal City was very simple.
The path Chen Xuan provided was to cultivate in Wanjian Immortal City and hunt Yao Beasts in the sea in Bihai Immortal City to temper himself.
As for the Cultivation Technique, he had connections with the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce and could get him a suitable High Grade Xuan-level Cultivation Technique.
"Hmm..."
Four people went, three returned.
Their backs looked somewhat lonely.
At the Black Stone Market outside the Southern Border.
The three of them boarded the Flying Boat of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Looking towards the south, the Southern Border was pitch black, almost like the end of the world.
Everything overturned, everything destroyed.
How many Loose Cultivators, how many living beings, were all buried in the natural disaster.
Chen Xuan and the two others boarded the Flying Boat and entered the secret chamber.
Liu Lili had calmed down now.
The standard of a big Family immediately took the high ground of intelligence:
"These Loose Cultivators protected us for a while, but unfortunately, none of them are likely alive now, and they haven't come to us yet."
"As for those ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, especially the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the White Lotus Sect, and the Huoshi Daoist, the Sect's Conquest Hall will seek justice for us."
"As for Xiao Muting, we can only wait for the volcano to calm down before sending people in."
While speaking, she looked at Chen Xuan and Xiao Ye.
The former was Xiao Muting's sworn brother, and the latter was Xiao Muting's clansman; both had deep relationships with him.
Both of them nodded.
They tacitly agreed.
Chen Xuan had now obtained the fire spirit qi; the most important thing was not romance, but climbing the Dao.
With the four spirit qis from the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce plus the fire spirit qi!
Now, everything was ready.
Chen Xuan just wanted to cultivate hard!
Cultivate until the sky grew dark and the earth withered, until the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled, and then make a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.
The Foundation Establishment he had obsessed over in his past life.
In this life, Foundation Establishment was definitely not the end.
With the heavenly book golden decree, Chen Xuan had every chance to survive until Major Achievement.
The plan for this life, killing the Wang Family's Foundation Establishment, needed to wait for intelligence to see if there were any survivors because of the Xiao Family.
The path of the Dao was now ready, with the fire spirit qi in hand.
As for the third, going to the Central Province to take revenge on the Cloud-Swallowing Eagle and the Snow-Winged Eagle.
This matter could only be planned slowly.
With his Aptitude, he would be able to do it sooner or later.
After chatting for a while longer, Xiao Ye cupped his hands and left.
The two of them were left in the secret chamber.
Finally, the opportunity had arrived!
Liu Lili's eyes immediately began to flirt.
This was the purpose of this trip.
Her body had been seen completely by the Junior Brother.
For her, she would not marry anyone but him in this life.
Seeing it early was just like giving a preview to her future Dao Companion!
"Yun Qi."
She affectionately called Chen Xuan's name and took his large hand.
"Senior Sister." Chen Xuan pulled his hand back without a trace and politely cupped his hands.
This kid!
Liu Lili narrowed her eyes; with her beauty and status, wasn't it a piece of cake to take down a poor kid like him?
Chen Xuan remained silent, guarding against her in his heart.
Yes, Liu Lili's appearance was almost identical to the fairy sister Liu Yifei, and due to cultivation, her skin was even more fair and rosy, without any flaws, and her whole person was floating with Immortal Qi, like an Immortal.
She had once removed her armor, which showed how magnificent her natural figure was.
Such a woman could be called perfect.
What a pity, Senior Sister!
What kind of beauty have I not seen? I have even played with snake-tailed scorpion beauties in the Qingcang Sect.
My heart has long been as still as water.
Chen Xuan appeared righteous, unmoved by temptation.
This was the confidence of a veteran player.
Having seen it all, he remained calm.
Liu Lili's ears turned red, and she wanted to get closer, but in the past, it was always Zhang Fan, that dead simp, who rushed to deliver himself to her.
Liu Lili tried hard to recall.
"Junior Brother, this is a good sword I saw at the market. With your strength in Sword Light Differentiation, you should be able to control multiple Magical Artifacts."
She took out a High Grade Magical Artifact.
It shone with treasure light, and pulling it out slightly revealed a cold gleam. To Chen Xuan's eyes, it was worth at least 400 Spirit Stones.
She was truly wealthy and generous.
"Senior Sister, I cannot accept a reward without merit."
Chen Xuan dared not accept the gift.
In this era, there was no such thing as "my acceptance doesn't mean consent."
Moreover, within the Sect, he was just a Loose Cultivator and could not contend with the Liu Family of Tiannan.
By then, it would be impossible to explain clearly.
"If you act like this, I will be angry! You took care of me quite a bit along the way, I am still your Senior Sister, and I was the one who invited you out this time."
She took all the responsibility upon herself in one breath.
A glint of craftiness appeared in her eyes.
Some things just need to be cultivated from a young age.
For example, her husband!
A satisfactory and good husband.
The current Chen Xuan had a sturdy build, like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen. Although his face was still young, his ordinary appearance carried a bit of heroism, looking quite satisfactory.
When she said this, Chen Xuan had no choice but to roll his eyes helplessly and take it.
Liu Lili was satisfied and sat over, holding his arm, and they looked out the window together.
Compared to the sky full of volcanic ash in the Southern Border, which was like purgatory.
This world was full of green mountains and clear waters, a carefree world, how pleasant.
