Chapter 361
Chapter 361
The sky above the underworld remains unchanged, still as dark and lifeless as when I first entered.
After Chen Xuan used his Taoist magic to open the Yin-Yang Gate, he plunged down into it.
While flying on the sword, the road below was still lined with long queues of living souls.
After Chen Xuan appeared flying on his sword, countless souls below looked at him with immense envy.
Chen Xuan, however, was preoccupied with refining evil weapons.
Before long, Chen Xuan traversed hundreds of miles and arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness.
Upon seeing Chen Xuan appear, the two underworld officials guarding both sides of the Naihe Bridge acted shrewdly and directly intercepted the souls who were about to step onto the Naihe Bridge.
Chen Xuan put away the Jade Dragon Slash and landed lightly on the Bridge of Helplessness.
Since no other living souls approached, Biluo slowly raised her head to look at Chen Xuan.
Upon sensing Chen Xuan's presence, Biluo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
Although his tone was aloof, it was clear that he couldn't hide his shock.
"Your aura, your ultimate realm... are you nearing a breakthrough?"
Faced with Biluo, a rose with thorns, Chen Xuan smiled apologetically and said, "I am not talented; I have just reached the peak of the 'Ultimate Acquired Realm'."
Upon seeing Chen Xuan directly admit it, Biluo's expression changed.
How can it be?
The ultimate cultivation system is so advanced that countless beings throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds find it difficult to even begin, and each breakthrough to a higher realm is incredibly challenging.
He only just forged the foundation of the ultimate path yesterday, just one day ago? Is he about to break through again?
"What method did you use to increase your cultivation level?"
Biluo isn't actually a very curious person, especially not a low-level being like Chen Xuan.
However, after personally investigating Chen Xuan's cultivation level, she was also extremely curious.
If this person truly has a way to quickly advance to the highest level, then perhaps he could actually achieve what I'm obsessed with.
"Well, it's just good luck."
Since he was dealing with something that only he himself knew about, Chen Xuan naturally wouldn't reveal it.
"Humph."
Clearly, Chen Xuan's answer displeased Biluo.
Biluo watched Chen Xuan struggle with whether or not to forcibly search his soul.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, so when Biluo looked at Chen Xuan, her gaze instantly changed, becoming extremely cold.
How could Chen Xuan not sense the invisible, bone-chilling intent?
Chen Xuan immediately took a step back and put his hands in a defensive stance.
"Fairy, I considered you my confidante, yet you want to harm me?"
"Hmph, I just want to know, how did you manage to advance your Extreme Dao realm so quickly?"
Biluo thought of her beloved senior brother Beiming and finally made up her mind.
She stared into Chen Xuan's eyes and walked towards him step by step.
"Don't resist. If you don't resist, my Soul Searching Technique will have almost no effect on you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
Before coming, he had prepared for the worst, but he did not expect Biluo to be so direct and undisguised.
"Soul search? Unless you kill me!"
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xuan summoned the Jade Dragon Slash, its tip pointing at the approaching Biluo.
Seeing that Chen Xuan dared to defy her, Biluo said with unwavering determination, "You dare to draw your sword against me? Your confidence isn't backed by that Nine Dragon Seal, is it?"
Biluo looked at Chen Xuan and said calmly, "Last time, I gave up because of him. This time, no one can stop me."
As she spoke, Biluo beckoned to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan was actually grabbed by an invisible force and held in mid-air.
After being bound by the void, Chen Xuan couldn't even move a finger.
Sure enough, after Chen Xuan faced a life-threatening crisis, the Immortal Emperor's Seal reappeared.
However, this time, the Immortal Emperor's Seal could no longer stop Biluo.
With a wave of her hand, Biluo unleashed a burst of yellow gas from the nearby Six Paths of Reincarnation. This gas instantly enveloped the Immortal Emperor's Seal.
"It's just a seal to prove identity, equivalent to a Great Emperor's storage magic treasure in the cultivation world. Besides, with your current strength, you can't unleash any of its power. Although I'm just a Celestial Immortal, I can still trap this Immortal seal."
Biluo walked gracefully towards Chen Xuan.
"So, your trump card is useless against me."
Chen Xuan's face was very ugly. Seeing Bi Luoyu's hand about to touch his forehead, he couldn't help but shout, "Even if you know this method, it's useless, because only I can use it."
As expected, Chen Xuan had no choice but to reveal some information.
After Chen Xuan rebuked her, Bi Luo stopped moving. She looked at Chen Xuanming and immediately realized whether his words were true or false.
Clearly, Biluo had used the secret technique 'Mind Reading' on Chen Xuan.
"I've said it before, even if you kill me, I won't utter a single word about what I don't want to say!"
"Now that you know this method, do you still want to search my soul?"
Chen Xuan, equally enraged, glared at Biluo and roared, "After searching my soul, I suggest you kill me directly. Otherwise, once my cultivation is complete, I will surely slay you!"
"Slay me? With your meager cultivation?"
Bilu smiled, though it was unclear whether she was startled by Chen Xuan's words.
With a flick of her jade hand, Chen Xuan fell to his buttocks and plummeted from mid-air.
"Fine, since only you can use this method, it's useless for me to know it anyway, so I'll let you off the hook for now."
When Biluo said this, she was clearly very downcast, as if the flame of hope in her heart had been extinguished once again, and she had returned to the Bridge of Helplessness to fiddle with the big pot.
"Find a place to break through. Starting from the second major realm of the Ultimate Path, you must endure the baptism of lightning every time you break through. It's best not to use any items to resist the heavenly lightning, but to resist it with your own body. This will help temper your body. A strong body will have countless benefits for you."
Biluo ultimately saw Chen Xuan as her last hope.
However, the time span between this glimmer of hope and the fulfillment of the wish is far too long.
"Thank you for your guidance, fairy."
Chen Xuan's expression was complicated upon hearing Biluo's guidance.
This woman just tried to search my soul, and now she's giving me pointers on cultivation.
Damn, so fickle.
"How is it?" Biluo glanced at Chen Xuan. "Are you worried about failing your tribulation breakthrough and want me to vouch for you?"
Chen Xuan smiled but remained silent.
"I'll intervene if I get killed by this."
"Thank you fairy."
Chen Xuan bowed respectfully, "It's not that. I have something else I'd like to ask you, Fairy."
"Speak," Biluo said indifferently.
"Does the fairy know anything about weapon crafting?"
"The path of weapon crafting?" Biluo looked at Chen Xuan. "The path of weapon crafting is a great path. With your aptitude that has already stepped into the ultimate cultivation system, you don't need to take this path at all. You should take the path that is more adept at killing."
"My cultivation level has stagnated for countless years. In the world of cultivation, people like me usually turn to studying the great Dao of weapon crafting, formations, and beast taming, which can enhance their combat power. I will study them to some extent."
Hearing Biluo's words, Chen Xuan was overjoyed, realizing that his trip had not been in vain.
"Chen Xuan has a request. I recently obtained some excellent refining materials, but these materials are of too high a grade for me to refine."
Chen Xuan continued, "I implore you for your help, Fairy. If you are willing to lend a hand, I, Chen Xuan, will owe you a favor, which I will repay at any cost in the future."
When Chen Xuan said this, his eyes and tone were extremely serious.
Biluo initially wanted to refuse outright, but after hearing Chen Xuan say that he would definitely repay this favor at any cost in the future, she became tempted.
"Hmph, in such a small plane, in the era of Dharma decline, what kind of refining materials could you possibly obtain? High-grade, no less? Do you even have the slightest knowledge of high-grade refining materials?"
