Chapter 71 – The dream of being a burdensome son-in-law is shattered in the ethereal cave

"The appearance of natural enemies in the world led to the cooperation of the Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Gods, who first eliminated the natural enemies." Zhou Qiyun finished speaking and leaped into the tank.

He was cautious by nature. Although he was not seriously injured this time, he did not want to be injured before crossing the tribulation. If he was injured, he must be treated immediately!

After he left, the Holy Emperor also came to the edge of the tank and said, "According to our royal book 'Records of Gods and Demons,' Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Gods are natural enemies, but they are evenly matched and often unable to harm each other. However, if the Phoenix grows up, it may be able to swallow them all. Therefore, when the Phoenix is born, disasters often occur, and it is difficult for the young Phoenix to survive in the disasters."

He jumped into the tank, splashing a splash of water and disappearing.

Yuan Qi poked his head out from Xu Ying's collar and yearned, "The royal book also has books about strange things? I really want to take a look."

After these two experts left, Xu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a chill behind him. Although he appeared calm and composed in front of Zhou Qiyun and the Holy Emperor, cold sweat had already soaked the back of his clothes.

The group looked at each other, all feeling a bit scared.

Xiao Bo worriedly said, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has tried to weaken the aristocratic families several times, but he was blocked by Senior Zhou. The resentment between them is deep and cannot be resolved. If the emperor is still in Yongzhou, I'm afraid Senior Zhou won't be able to resist killing him."

Xu Ying said, "The world may not be worse off if the emperor dies."

Xiao Bo, Yuan Weiyang, and Guo Xiaodie showed astonishment, not understanding why he was so bold and dared to say such rebellious words.

They were children of aristocratic families. Even Xiao Bo, as a servant, was a servant of the Yuan family, an aristocratic family, and had no contact with the lives of the common people.

But Xu Ying had lived in the countryside of Lingling in Yongzhou since he was a child, crawling and rolling in the mud. He had seen too much of the actions of officials and gods, and he had never had any good feelings towards imperial power and the emperor.

Xu Ying looked up at the plaque of the Demon-Sealing Hall in the Chaozhen Taixu Cave, suddenly wondering, "What place is this mountain?"

He suddenly became spirited and released Yuan Qi, saying with a smile, "Let's go climb the mountain!"

Yuan Qi transformed into a snake over twenty feet long, with black and white horns on its head, shining scales all over its body, and a dragon's mane swaying behind its head. Guo Xiaodie's eyes lit up and she quickly climbed onto Yuan Qi's head.

Everyone sat on Yuan Qi's forehead, and the giant snake climbed up the cliff, heading towards the mountaintop.

Da Zhong flew out from behind Xu Ying's head and said to Yuan Qi, "Have you ever thought that you would become a mount? You are now a ride for them!"

The giant snake remained calm and composed, saying, "I am carrying them up the mountain, so I am a mount. Then, if I ride on Xu Ying's neck every day, is Xu Ying my ox or horse?"

Da Zhong had no response.

The mountain was no less majestic than Jiuyi Mountain. Yuan Qi carried them upwards, and it took them half an hour to reach the mountaintop. Xu Ying stood up and looked around, finally seeing the true appearance of this world. His mind shook, "This is..."

Xiao Bo unknowingly walked in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion, murmuring, "Where is this?"

Guo Xiaodie noticed that the two of them were not by her side and quietly pulled down her chest band, looking down at Yuan Weiyang's chest. However, Yuan Weiyang didn't notice this scene at all, she just turned her head and looked into the distance in a daze.

Guo Xiaodie felt a bit embarrassed and angry, and suddenly looked up, also stunned.

On the other side of the mountain, a newly risen sun had just emerged from the horizon, while another sun had already risen high in the sky. Above their heads, there was still a scorching sun.

Behind them, there was a setting sun emitting a red light, about to set.

In the distance, mountains and rivers were shaking, causing rocks to fly. The mountains and rivers rose slowly, and an unimaginable giant beast slowly stood up from among the mountains. The shaking mountains and rivers were the bone plates on its back.

The people on Yuan Qi's head felt a bit dizzy. The giant snake beneath their feet was already huge, but compared to the giant beast in the mountains, it was still far inferior.

Suddenly, the mountain beneath their feet also began to tremble, and the earth shook.

A tremendously huge body rubbed against the mountain and rose slowly. It was an incredibly huge creature, resembling a cow, roaring like a dragon, with bone-like scales growing on its body, rough and bumpy.

It seemed to be scratching an itch on the mountain, causing sparks to fly, and then it slowly left.

"Whoosh—"

Its tail swung up, pitch black, flying over the mountaintop, stirring up a hot gust of wind.

"This is definitely not Shenzhou. Where exactly is it?" they murmured.

Da Zhong trembled, and the sound of the bell was melodious, "Gentlemen, this is a Dongtian."

Xu Ying suddenly realized, "This is the Chaozhen Taixu Dongtian!"

He looked at the mountains and rivers below, and his heart trembled. This mountain cliff was like the other half of the Cangwu Abyss!

When he was pulled up from the Cangwu Abyss, he looked around and found that on one side of the Cangwu Abyss was Jiuyi Mountain, but he didn't know where the other side of the great abyss was.

Now, seeing this mountain cliff, he suddenly realized that this mountain cliff was the other side of the great abyss!

This mountain cliff and Jiuyi Mountain were actually one, but they were separated by the Cangwu Abyss!

Da Zhong's voice also became excited, "Aying, do you see the light falling from the sky? That is the Ascension Light left by the immortals when they ascended."

Xu Ying looked and saw an eternal and unextinguished light hanging down from the sky, a hundred miles away from this mountain peak, falling between the mountains.

The color of that light was richer and clearer than the Empty Silence Domain, leaving a deep impression!

This is the Chaozhen Taixu Dongtian, where immortals have ascended.

It is also a place of ascension!

Because of the ascension of immortals here, the barrier between here and the immortal realm has become much thinner, possessing more spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Cultivating here would yield twice the result with half the effort!

Xu Ying's mind was stirred, and he saw that under the Ascension Light, there was a thunder pit with a radius of tens of miles.His turbulent heart suddenly turned cold.

That should be the thunder pit left by the heavenly tribulation when the ancient Qi Refiners crossed the tribulation. Seeing this large pit, one can imagine the terrifying scene when the Qi Refiner ascended!

At this moment, he saw the second thunder pit, which was even larger, reaching a hundred miles in size. Because the tribulation had occurred in ancient times, the thunder pit was already covered in trees.

However, the trees in the thunder pit were shorter than those in other places, and their outlines revealed the grandeur of the tribulation back then!

Then Xu Ying saw the third thunder pit, which was relatively fresh and had not yet been covered in trees. Then came the fourth thunder pit, the fifth thunder pit...

In this True and Illusory Heavenly Paradise, there were thunder pits of all sizes. They were the remnants left by the ancient Qi Refiners who had found this place!

In just a short moment, Xu Ying found seventeen thunder pits. Some overlapped with each other, while others had been buried by time, leaving only faint outlines.

The largest one was the cliff they were currently on. In fact, it was also a thunder pit, and the largest one at that!

The cliff was very high. Xu Ying stood on top of it and looked into the distance, where he could see a large pit with a radius of about five hundred miles!

Is this the heavenly tribulation that Qi Refiners have to face when ascending?

Can anyone really withstand such a powerful heavenly tribulation and ascend to the immortal realm?

His gaze swept across this paradise, and besides the ascension radiance, there was no second radiance. In other words, all the ancient Qi Refiners who crossed the tribulation here had failed and died under the thunder strikes!

That ascension radiance became the eternal mark of this world.

"Although no one has ascended except for that immortal, this is still a blessed land. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant here, making it suitable for cultivation."

Standing under the sunlight of the four suns, Xu Ying activated the Taiyi Guiding Technique. The sky instantly became extremely bright, and the essence of the sun poured down, forming several acres of Dao fields in the air.

In the past few days, Xu Ying had been communicating with Yuan Weiyang, and both his divine sense and elemental energy had made great progress.

At this moment, when he activated the Taiyi Guiding Technique, he saw Dao seeds falling like rain in the Dao fields, entering his body one after another!

Xu Ying's black hair fluttered, and he exuded a powerful aura. Guo Xiaodie was momentarily stunned.

"No wonder everyone calls him Xu the Demon King! Although he doesn't look as good as Brother Weiyang, he has a charm that Brother Weiyang doesn't have."

Her heart raced as she looked at Xu Ying and then at Yuan Weiyang. She still thought Yuan Weiyang was more attractive. But the wild charm emanating from Xu Ying's body was truly captivating, making it difficult for her to choose.

Yuan Weiyang stood up and stood side by side with Xu Ying, activating the Elemental Dao Sensing Technique. Suddenly, her body became as crystal clear as jade, reflecting 365 divine spirits from each of her acupoints!

These divine spirits resided in the palaces, mansions, and paradises formed by her acupoints. Although these divine spirits were still vague and only shadows, they were guarded by various gods, giving Yuan Weiyang a majestic aura as if she were the king of gods!

Xiao Bo's heart trembled slightly. "Young Master is acting on his own and changing the ancestral secret technique of the Yuan Family without permission. It's a great rebellion. But what she has changed... "

His expression became strange. After Yuan Weiyang's improvements, the Elemental Dao Sensing Technique was much better than before!

Guo Xiaodie kept looking left and right, feeling that both of them were truly outstanding and had their own strengths, making it difficult for her to decide for a while.

Suddenly, Xu Ying let out a long roar and activated the first move of "Azure Sky Ode," "Stormy Weather!"

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

With a palm strike, a clear sky and white clouds appeared behind him, the blue sky washed clean. In the next moment, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning intertwined, and the weather became stormy!

"Hoo—"

In front of Xu Ying, the palm wind roared, and he felt his heart force circulating throughout his body. His physical strength surged, and wherever his palm force went, it fought against the wind and clouds, creating the phenomenon of stormy weather. The strength was so powerful that even Xu Ying himself was startled!

Guo Xiaodie widened her eyes, almost popping out of their sockets. Xu Ying actually displayed the first move of "Azure Sky Ode" in its entirety!

To refine the "Azure Sky Ode," one must first open the secret chamber of the Vermilion Palace. Who other than someone from the Guo Family could open the secret chamber of the Vermilion Palace?

Even if the secret chamber of the Vermilion Palace was opened, one still needed to comprehend various celestial phenomena, such as clear skies, stormy weather, thunder and lightning, and many other celestial phenomena, in order to comprehend the great Dao and refine the hidden scenery.

Only after refining the hidden scenery could one unleash the power of the "Azure Sky Ode."

As the saying goes, observe the azure sky within and see its vastness, imagine the clear sky and achieve freedom.

Without reaching this step, how could one refine the "Azure Sky Ode"?

Xu Ying was also surprised and delighted. He originally thought that the "Azure Sky Ode" given to him by Guo Xiaodie was just an ordinary technique of the Guo Family, but he didn't expect its power to be so strong!

In his mind, Da Zhong couldn't help but praise, "Ah Ying, this girl is amazing! The technique she gave you is definitely the top-notch technique of the Guo Family!"

Xu Ying felt a little ashamed and whispered to himself, "I exchanged a top-notch technique of the Guo Family with the Sword Control Technique. I've taken advantage of her too much. If she has any doubts later, I will definitely spare no effort to guide her."

In just a short moment, he displayed the second move, "Thunder and Lightning Collaboration," the third move, "Body Reflecting the Bright Mirror," the fourth move, "Stars Opening the Azure Sky," the fifth move, "Nine Wildernesses Unfolding," the sixth move, "Starry Sky Shining," and the seventh move, "Sun and Moon Relying on Residence" of the "Azure Sky Ode"!

With each move and each form, it was as if he was being guided by a master of the Guo Family, and his moves were almost perfect!

Guo Xiaodie became nervous and stared at Xu Ying's figure, thinking to herself, "If he comprehends the eighth move, 'Cloud Ladder Soaring Through the Sky,' it would truly be an extraordinary talent! Even our Guo Family's ancestors couldn't learn all eight moves of the 'Azure Sky Ode' at once!"

Xu Ying leaped into the air, a cloud ladder appearing beneath his feet. He stepped on the cloud ladder, made a sudden leap, and fell with a thud, landing on Yuan Qi's forehead.

Guo Xiaodie sighed in relief, "He's still a bit worse than the old ancestor."

Xu Ying's heart convulsed violently, and Da Zhong quickly said, "Ah Ying, don't use the last move lightly, it consumes too much heart power! I underestimated the Nuoshi technique, thinking that a Qi Refiner's heart power could support the Bi Luo Fu. I didn't expect this Nuoshi technique to require such strong heart power, far exceeding the limit a Qi Refiner can bear! Fortunately, you're as strong as a bull and didn't die."

Xu Ying took a moment to recover, feeling a bit scared afterwards.

He had fully comprehended the eighth move of Bi Luo Fu, Cloud Ladder Sky Leap, and originally planned to leap up, but he didn't expect his heart power to be severely depleted and fell down.

"Without opening the Jia Gong Secret Treasure, I can't use Bi Luo Fu as I wish!"

Xu Ying sat up, his complexion slightly recovered, and asked Guo Xiaodie, "Miss Xiaodie, how can I learn your Guo family's Dragon Seeking Positioning Technique to find the Jia Gong Secret Treasure?"

"Become a son-in-law of my Guo family!"

Guo Xiaodie's eyes sparkled as she laughed, "I have a sister who weighs two hundred jin, she's gentle and virtuous, but her temper is a bit bad. Would you like me to introduce you?"

Xu Ying was delighted, but hesitated, "Let me think about it."

Guo Xiaodie was surprised, not knowing whether he was really considering it or just perfunctory her.

Little did she know, Xu Ying was really considering it. He was born poor, and boys and girls in the nearby villages who couldn't be supported by their families were often sold to the city. Those with bad luck ended up in brothels, while those with good luck ended up serving in wealthy families. Some boys were bought by noblewomen to be raised in luxury, which made him extremely envious.

If he could become a son-in-law to the Guo family, his fate would certainly be better than those boys who were sold from the village, at least he would be a real son-in-law. Those boys who were bought were just playthings and medicine dregs for the noblewomen, discarded once they were squeezed dry.

Yuan Weiyang's voice came, "Is Xu Demon King going to live under others all his life?"

Xu Ying immediately woke up, cutting off the idea of becoming a son-in-law, thinking, "If the gods don't allow me, I'll overthrow the gods. If the officials don't allow me, I'll overthrow the officials! If the earth doesn't allow me, I'll overturn the earth. If the heavens don't allow me, I'll pierce the heavens! As a man, why should I live under others?"

"Even if it's Zhou Qi Yun, I'll defeat him!"
