Chapter 1349 Little Xing'er Joins the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Void Divine Beast Submits
Zhang Xiaoyue frowned deeply as she listened, her expression becoming even more somber.
She had heard about the destruction of Nine Dragons Stronghold. Because Gu Yunfei, the eldest son of the Gu family of Thunder City, had also died in Nine Dragons Stronghold, this matter caused a great uproar within the sect.
Gu Yunfei himself is an inner disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and his grandfather is the Golden Core Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, making him a person of great prestige.
The entire Gu family in Thunder City has been going crazy these past two days. They're secretly investigating this matter, since it can't be done in the light of day. They're determined to bring the culprit to justice and kill him as soon as possible.
Given the close ties between the Gu family and Kowloon Walled City, and their role as Kowloon Walled City's protectors, as well as the many heinous acts they committed, Zhang Xiaoyue applauded the death of the eldest son of the Gu family, believing that Gu Yunfei's death was well-deserved.
Chen Yang did what she had always wanted to do but dared not do: to act on behalf of Heaven and punish evil and promote good.
In her heart, she silently gave Chen Yang a thumbs up.
However, this made Zhang Xiaoyue even more hesitant to let Xiao Xing'er cultivate immortality with Chen Yang, because Chen Yang had now become the number one enemy of the Gu family in Thunder City.
If Xiao Xing'er follows Chen Yang to cultivate immortality, she will definitely be implicated, and it may even bring about her death.
Next, the Gu family of Tianlei City will definitely hunt down Chen Yang all over the world. If Xiao Xing'er follows Chen Yang to cultivate immortality, won't she also be hunted down by the Gu family?
When Zhang Xiaoyue explained this crucial point, Zhang Dashan and his wife turned pale with fright, feeling a wave of fear as they realized they had almost harmed their daughter.
They were, after all, honest and simple villagers, with limited knowledge and a lack of comprehensive thinking.
“No, we absolutely cannot let Xiao Xing’er cultivate immortality with Master Chen. He can barely protect himself now, and he will harm our daughter. She is my only daughter, and I will not allow anything to happen to her. Xiaoyue, you should take Xing’er to the Heavenly Thunder Sect. I will feel more at ease with you looking after her,” said Sister Huang, Xiao Xing’er’s mother, earnestly.
"That's all we can do now. Thank goodness Xiaoyue came back in time, otherwise we might have made a terrible mistake," Zhang Dashan said.
The thought of how massive the Gu family of Thunder City was filled him with dread.
No matter how powerful Chen Yang is, he is just a lone hero and can't possibly defeat the Gu family. His ending will likely be a tragedy.
Chen Yang did nothing wrong in destroying Kowloon Village, but his biggest mistake was killing Gu Yunfei, the eldest son of the Gu family.
If he had only destroyed Kowloon Walled City, the Gu family might not have fought him to the death, and might even have turned a blind eye, thus ending the matter.
Now that he has killed the eldest son of the Gu family, the Gu family will never let this go.
"Where is that Master Chen now? Do you know? I want to talk to him," Zhang Xiaoyue asked, her eyes deep.
Given that Chen Yang had done a good deed, acted chivalrously, and upheld justice, Zhang Xiaoyue didn't want him to die a horrible death. She wanted to meet with him to persuade him to leave this place as soon as possible, preferably to leave the Southern Region and make a living in one of the other three regions.
Even if you go to the other three realms, it's best to change your appearance and reduce your public appearances.
"Master Chen has gone into seclusion in the mountains to cultivate. He may not emerge for several days," Zhang Dashan said, pointing to the mountains in front of his house. He was very open and honest in his words.
"He went to the mountains? Haha, that means he ran away. He's quite clever."
Zhang Xiaoyue listened and smiled faintly.
She would never believe that Master Chen had gone to the mountains to cultivate. She was probably afraid of the Gu family's power and hid in the mountains, waiting for things to calm down before coming out again, or she simply ran away and lied to the honest Zhang family that she had gone to the mountains to cultivate.
“Impossible! Uncle keeps his word. He won’t run away. He said he was going to the mountains to cultivate, and he meant it. You all don’t believe him, but I do. He’s a brave man, a great hero. He’ll probably come out of seclusion in a few days.” Little Xing’er said stubbornly, clearly dissatisfied with Xiaoyue’s claim that Chen Yang had run away and was a coward.
She looked so wronged, and tears were almost streaming down her face.
"Alright, alright, Little Xing'er, your sister Xiaoyue is just guessing. She didn't say that Master Chen really escaped. It's an undeniable fact that he's been gone for several days without a trace. It's just that now, Master Chen has offended the Gu family of Thunder City, and it won't be safe for you to stay by his side. But now there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to join the Thunder Sect. You must seize it." Sister Huang said softly, comforting her daughter's young heart.
"But what if I leave and my master can't find me? I've already become his disciple. How can I go back on my word?" Little Xing'er said, sniffling.
Joining the Heavenly Thunder Sect has always been her dream, but now that she already has a master, she is in a dilemma.
“Xing’er, you need to think this through. Even if, hypothetically, your master didn’t run away and is indeed cultivating in the mountains, are you really willing to cultivate with him? He doesn’t even have a temple and has no fixed abode. Do you really want to wander the world with him? Besides, there are many inconveniences between you two, as you are of different genders,” Zhang Xiaoyue said, appealing to both her emotions and reason.
"I I I..."
Xiao Xing'er hesitated because what Sister Xiaoyue said made a lot of sense.
"Alright, don't hesitate any longer. Pack your things and come with me. The only people in this world who won't harm you, besides your parents, are me. Once you join the Thunder God Sect, cultivate diligently and strive to become an inner disciple as soon as possible so you can bring your father and mother to Thunder God City."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The Spirit Ruins Trial is about to begin. I'll be participating in this trial as well. All the sects in the world will gather at the Yaochi Holy Land in the Western Regions, waiting for the Spirit Ruins gate to open soon. Little Xing'er, you'll come with me then, to broaden your horizons. After I go in for the trial, you can come back with the people from the Heavenly Thunder Sect."
"If your cheap master really has the guts, he might also go to the Jade Pool Holy Land. You might even be able to meet then."
"However, it's best if he doesn't show up. Otherwise, he might get himself killed."
……
Finally, after Zhang Xiaoyue's repeated persuasion, Xiao Xing'er agreed to go with her and join the Heavenly Thunder Sect.
After all, she was only eleven or twelve years old. Although she had some opinions, she didn't have much say. She had to listen to her parents even if she didn't want to.
Two more days passed, and Chen Yang had completely refined tens of thousands of spirit stones. His injuries were finally fully healed, his energy and spirit were overflowing, and his combat power had returned to its peak.
Even the seal on his Yuan Dan had loosened slightly, making him eager to undergo the tribulation.
A surge of blood energy erupted from the top of his head, causing every single strand of his hair to stand on end.
A series of booming sounds emanated from within his body, the sound of his blood surging like the Yangtze River.
Even the space between his eyebrows was glowing; it was his abundant divine will and spiritual power overflowing outwards.
Whoosh!
He let out a long sigh, rolled over and stood up, the breath he exhaled creating a gust of wind.
This feeling of being full of energy and having my fighting power restored to its peak is really great.
He waved his arms casually, and the void rumbled as if it could not withstand his power.
At this moment, he would not be afraid even if he faced a true Golden Core cultivator.
If he wants to attain the Golden Core stage, he only needs to unlock the seal on the Yuan Dan.
"I hope that once I reach the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, I can attain the highest level of Dao," Chen Yang thought to himself, placing great expectations on himself.
Only by attaining the highest-grade Golden Core could he have the means to survive in the Kunlun Immortal Sect.
"Human brat, let me go! I surrender, I really surrender! Stop burning me, or I'll be burned to death!" The mournful roar of the Void Divine Beast echoed from within the Shennong Fire Cauldron.
Its vitality is indeed very strong; it survived being burned in the cauldron for so many days without dying.
Although Chen Yang later reduced the flames spewed by Zhuque Xiaoli, it was only relatively speaking. The cauldron was still like a red-hot iron, with a temperature of several thousand degrees, enough to melt gold and iron.
Burning at such a temperature for a week would make even a Golden Core cultivator shed a layer of skin!
"You've submitted? Are you really submitting? Or are you just pretending? You're not trying to trick me so you can escape, are you?" Chen Yang said coldly, not believing the Void Beast's words.
"Human brat, oh no, human big brother, human grandpa, I give up, I really give up! Please release me quickly, I'm really going to die if this keeps burning me." The Void Divine Beast pleaded weakly.
Judging from the tone of his voice, he's really going to back down this time.
"You've agreed to be my servant and mount?" Chen Yang asked again.
"Yes, I agree, okay? But you can't expect me to be your mount forever, that would be too cruel. My Void Beast clan grows stronger by traversing the void and navigating its turbulent currents. If I'm always tied to you, I won't grow, and one day you'll wear me down. I can be your mount and servant for a year, what do you say?" the Void Beast offered.
"A year? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? Don't forget you're my defeated foe now, your life is in my hands, you have no right to negotiate with me. I can make you live or I can make you die!" Chen Yang said ruthlessly.
"Then... how about two years?"
The Void Beast was startled and quickly changed its words.
However, his change of address was far too stingy.
"Xiao Li, turn up the flames, burn it harder for me." Chen Yang said to Zhuque Xiao Li, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
He felt that this void beast was making a fool of him, and he had to teach it a lesson.
Whoohoo!
Boom boom boom!
Zhuque Xiaoli accepted the order and spewed out even more intense flames.
In an instant, the temperature inside Shennong's Fire Cauldron rose sharply.
"Ahhh, stop burning! Stop burning! If you keep burning it, it'll burn to death, and you'll get nothing. How many years do you want? We can talk this out, there's no need to be so violent. People should have martial ethics." The Void Beast howled as it was burned, pleading with Chen Yang, complaining that he was too rough and lacked martial ethics.
Back then, it was a tough, reckless guy, hot-headed, fearless about life and death, always ready to fight if it disagreed with him, but it ended up being brutally beaten into this state.
"It will take at least ten or eight years," Chen Yang said.
He valued the Void Beast as his mount because this beast possessed the ability to traverse the void. With the Void Beast by his side, his safety was further guaranteed. It even gave him the courage to face Nascent Soul stage experts directly.
More likely, he will need to rely on this Void Beast when he leaves the Kunlun Immortal Sect in the future.
"No, ten or eight years is too long." The Void Beast refused on the spot.
"Xiao Li, burn it for me." Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony.
boom!
The flames grew larger again.
"Ahhh, big brother, stop burning it! You're so cruel! How about I teach you a secret void technique and let you be my mount for two years? What do you say?" The void beast begged for mercy, offering its terms once again.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to Zhuque Xiaoli, "Stop, stop, stop, what void secret technique?"
Chen Yang felt a surge of excitement as he said these words.
If he learns the Void Divine Beast's Void Secret Techniques and masters the Void Great Law, he can travel through the void on his own, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Why would he need to keep the Void Divine Beast by his side?
Once he masters the Void Technique, he will be a god-like being.
It should be noted that the laws of space and time are the two supreme laws in the universe, and even Nascent Soul cultivators find them difficult to grasp.
Normally, only those who reach the level of Nascent Soul can comprehend a portion of the laws of space, thereby gaining the ability to roam the vacuum of the universe.
"The Void Secret Technique is an innate divine art possessed by my Void Divine Beast race. It grants us the ability to traverse the void and master many other divine abilities related to the void. I can teach it to you, but whether you can learn it and how much you can master depends on your own destiny," the Void Divine Beast said earnestly.
"Hahaha, why didn't you say so earlier? As long as you're willing to teach me the true secrets of the void, I'd agree to be your mount for two years, or even just one. But the condition is that you can't cheat me, you have to teach me everything you know, and you can't hold back. If you have any schemes, I'll tear you to pieces." Chen Yang was excited and said these harsh words.
This void beast was clearly no pushover, and he worried that he might be tricked.
"Don't worry about that. My Void Beast clan keeps its word, unlike you humans who are so cunning and treacherous. I can even swear an oath to the heavens for you to see," the Void Beast said, putting on a benevolent appearance.
"No need for that. I don't believe in oaths or anything like that. Here's what we'll do: open your sea of consciousness, and I'll plant a puppet seal on you. Then I'll untie you. And then you can teach me the real Void Secret Technique," Chen Yang said.
He first had Zhuque Xiaoli extinguish the fire, then opened the cauldron lid and released the Void Divine Beast that was bound hand and foot.
"Puppet Seal?" The Void Beast's expression changed upon hearing this.
"That's right, it's the Puppet Mark. Once this mark is planted, you'll be my puppet. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I can curse you to death with a single thought. If I die, you'll die with me. Only in this way can I guarantee that you won't rebel and will remain loyal to me," Chen Yang said with a forced smile.
