Chapter 166: New Chu Yang! New World!

The ferry project was described by Chu Yang.

Everyone looked blank.

"Let the ship fly in the sky, can this be done?"

Xiahou Jinxuan lost his usual demeanor as a graceful young master and was as agitated as a monkey.

"Don't be excited, little young master. The Sect Leader said it can be done, so it must be done. You should prepare the silver in advance."

Xie Cangxing also had some expectations on his face, but he was already an official disciple, so even without a ferry, he would learn the sword-flying technique and could fly in the future, so he was much calmer than them.

"As expected of Shushan, such great courage makes people ashamed." Mo Yi said with an admiring face.

Jiang Cheng pondered, "In this way, we can also go to the Divine Land and find a way to help Brother Long get the Shen Nong Cauldron."

Xia clapped her hands and cheered, "Yes, as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than... what was it..."

Xiahou Jinxuan sighed, "It's Zhuge Liang, Miss Xia. How can you not even know Mr. Kongming."

Xia's cheeks were red, and she put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Knowing celebrities is amazing? You are not as weak as the wind, I can knock you down with one punch!"

Xiahou Jinxuan saw that she was excited, and was really afraid that she would give him a punch, so he waved his hand to beg for mercy, "Okay, okay, I know your fist is powerful, it's my fault, okay?"

Xia's head was raised high, and she smiled triumphantly, "You are sensible."

Long Ming smiled, "Then I will wait for your good news. The sound transmission technique has reached its limit."

Afterward, Long Ming's voice never rang again.

"The Water Spirit Bead will be kept by Great Elder Mo Yi for the time being. After this matter is over, I will leave first."

Chu Yang turned around and was about to leave, only to see Mu Changlan blocking the front anxiously.

"Sect Leader Chu, can you go to Mu'ai Village with me?"

Chu Yang remembered that Mu Changlan's matter had not been solved. There were still dozens of people in the entire Mu'ai Village relying on ghost energy to survive, and they were not allowed to leave for half a step for the rest of their lives.

"You can be considered to be making up for your mistakes. Well, I will accompany you on a trip."

Hearing this, Mu Changlan burst into tears with excitement. She had been waiting for this moment for more than ten years.

"Sister Mu, I want to go too!"

"Miss Mu, I am also very curious about the place where you were born and raised."

"I will go too."

Everyone started talking, and finally decided to go to Mu'ai Village to have a look.

The people in the whole village would not grow old, which was enough to arouse huge curiosity.

Xiahou Jinxuan hesitated and indicated that he also wanted to follow.

"Little young master, you are already home, so don't toss about. Isn't it good to enjoy happiness at home?"

Xie Cangxing didn't understand Xiahou Jinxuan's idea. On the way to Shushan, he complained a lot about the difficult mountain road and wished he could go home immediately. Now why was he interested in going on a long journey.

"Miss Mu is also my friend. Such an important thing, I must help."

Xiahou Jinxuan said, secretly glancing at Xia.

Mu Changlan understood and smiled, "It couldn't be better for the little young master to accompany us on the road, and someone will reimburse the expenses on the road."

Xie Cangxing's eyes lit up and nodded frequently, "Yes, we really can't do without the little young master."

Xiahou Jinxuan shook his head and smiled, "It's the money bag on me that you can't do without."

Jiang Cheng was silent, seemingly having something on his mind.

Xiahou Jinxuan looked at him and said, "Brother Jiang, I know you want to confess everything to Uncle Ouyang, but this matter doesn't need to be rushed. After finishing the matter of Mu'ai Village, we will accompany you to Zhejian Villa."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, "After dealing with Miss Mu's matter, I will go back alone."

Xia said angrily, "Brother Jiang, sometimes you are really stubborn. What's wrong with us going back with you? We are all friends. Can only you help others, and not let others help you?"

Jiang Cheng wanted to say something but stopped.

Chu Yang helped him explain, "He is probably afraid that his demon identity will implicate you. If he goes back alone, even if Ouyang Ying cannot accept him, it is his own business. If he involves you, he will feel uneasy."

"Ah?" Xia looked at Jiang Cheng with complex expressions, and suddenly lost her voice.

"Miss Xia and Brother Xie are fine. You have Sect Leader Chu's protection, so you don't have to worry about the gossip of the outside world. But Young Master Xiahou and Miss Mu are involved with me. In the future, I am afraid that they will end up in a difficult situation. Even if I accept myself, the world may not accept me."

Jiang Cheng hesitated again and again, but still expressed his worries in his heart. He was not afraid of his identity being exposed, but the only thing he worried about was that his friends would be pointed at by thousands of people because of him.

"Brother Jiang, I am not a child. I know what I am doing, and I will take responsibility for what I do." Xiahou Jinxuan said solemnly, "Even if you are unwilling, I will go to Zhejian Villa with you."

Mu Changlan and Xia nodded at the same time.

Xie Cangxing laughed, "Sect Leader senior brother is friends with the demon Zhong Lou. He is not afraid of the world's gossip, so what are we little shrimps worried about? As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked..."

Chu Yang couldn't listen anymore, and gave him a kick on the butt, and said angrily, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Since you like to chew on words so much, go and copy the books on the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion ten times after you go back."

Xie Cangxing's lips trembled, and his face turned pale visibly.

Chu Yang glared at him fiercely, then turned to the others and said, "If you have decided, let's go. But I have important things to do and cannot accompany you across mountains and rivers in person. I can only send a clone to accompany you."

During the conversation, with a bang, smoke filled the air, and another "Chu Yang" appeared in front of everyone.

A burst of exclamation rang out.

"There are two sect leaders!"

Xia pointed at the extra shadow clone and shouted.

Xiahou Jinxuan praised, "What a subtle magic, lifelike, just like a real person."

Xie Cangxing stroked his chin, thinking that if he learned this magic, he could have one more person to help copy books. He must ask the Sect Leader senior brother for advice after going back.

After leaving the clone, Chu Yang disappeared in front of everyone abruptly.

"Let's go quickly, if my father finds out at dawn, I might not be able to leave."

Xiahou Jinxuan urged everyone to leave.

Before leaving, he looked back at "Xiahou Tao" by mistake.

"Don't worry, I will explain to your father."

"Xiahou Tao" looked kind, almost exactly the same as usual.

Xiahou Jinxuan lost his mind for a moment, said nothing, and bowed deeply to the other party.

This bow was not only for the deceased, but also for the grace of upbringing for more than ten years.

On the other side.

Inside the Soul Palace.

The Divine Tree, which hadn't appeared for long, suddenly bloomed with a bright light, illuminating the entire silent palace.

A fruit grew on a branch, white and translucent. The fruit was less than the size of a finger, obviously not yet mature, but it was already exciting.

"Why did a fruit grow suddenly?"

Pirate Chu Yang was puzzled.

"Look, it seems like there are images flashing across this fruit?"

Everyone saw glimpses of the Xianxia world through the fruit, and the final image froze at the moment Xiahou Jinxuan bid farewell to "Xiahou Tao."

"Is it because we changed the plot? Or some other reason?"

"I don't know, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. There is too little information available right now; let's observe a bit more."

"What exactly is the use of this fruit?"

"Could it be that eating it will grant chakra again?"

"If that's the case, how is it any different from the God Tree in the Naruto world?"

"Don't be impatient. Things that can appear in the Soul Palace cannot be that simple."

The group discussed heatedly, mostly looking forward to what they could obtain after the fruit ripened.

Magic Chu Yang watched for a while, then returned to the laboratory to take out the Demon Refining Tower that Xianxia Chu Yang had given him a few days ago. In order to figure out why the Water Demon Beast was refined into a Water Demon Bead, they had been working overtime to research it during this period.

As a result, the reason had not been thoroughly figured out, but the other few demon beasts brought by Zhong Lou had also been refined into magical treasures. The colorful beads lay quietly in Magic Chu Yang's hand; those who didn't know better would think he was wholesaling marbles.

Five demon beasts corresponded to five demon beads, which also corresponded to the power of the five spirits. However, compared to the gentle nature of the Five Spirit Beads, the spiritual power within the five demon beads appeared very violent and highly aggressive, requiring sufficiently strong power to suppress.

"If a cultivation level reaches a certain degree, it will be refined into a magical treasure. So, does the problem lie in the array, or somewhere else?"

"An accidental mutation caused by the characteristics of the Demon-Eating Gu?"

"That is not an impossible thing..."

Magic Chu Yang took the five demon beads and the Demon Refining Tower and left the laboratory. With no leads for the moment, it was better to return the items to Xianxia Chu Yang first.

Returning to the main hall, Xianxia Chu Yang had just stepped out from the nebula, and he handed the items over.

Xianxia Chu Yang asked, "Any leads?"

Magic Chu Yang shook his head. "I need to use the Demon-Eating Gu to conduct a few control experiments to find the cause, but I personally feel it should be some kind of mutation. After all, bloodline factor experiments also frequently encounter bloodline mutations."

Xianxia Chu Yang said, "In other words, great demons over ten thousand years old will likely be refined into magical treasures, and it just depends on luck?"

Magic Chu Yang nodded and said, "That's right."

Xianxia Chu Yang said distressingly, "Things like magical treasures are not of much use to us. We don't use magical treasures to fight, and we aren't used to them either. Some functional magical treasures would be okay, though."

"Doesn't this mean that over ten thousand years of cultivation are all wasted..."

Magic Chu Yang laughed, "Ten-thousand-year great demons aren't that easy to encounter. If it weren't for Zhong Lou, where would you have gotten the five demon beads? You might not even encounter one for the rest of your life."

"Your way of comforting people is on par with Xie Cangxing's," Xianxia Chu Yang said helplessly. "But it's true, it really is possible that we won't encounter any."

The two chatted and laughed for a while. During this time, the fruit on the God Tree gradually grew and ripened, becoming bright red and dripping, hanging precariously.

"Come and look, everyone, the fruit is about to fall."

Demon Slayer Chu Yang shouted, gathering everyone present together.

Surrounded by the crowd, Xianxia Chu Yang caught the ripe fruit. The fruit emitted an alluring fragrance, a kind of attraction that was hard to describe, stirring the desires deep within the soul.

"You eat it! It grew because of you anyway."

"That's right, you eating it is the same as everyone eating it. Why hesitate?"

After some persuasion, Xianxia Chu Yang put the fruit to his mouth and took a bite. The fruit turned into a beam of light and drilled straight in.

Then...

A marvelous cultivation technique appeared in Xianxia Chu Yang's mind.

Treasure Refining Art! It can refine magical treasures into a certain part of the body, enhancing physical fitness while also possessing the abilities of the magical treasure!

"What a coincidence? It really is like being handed a pillow just as one gets sleepy..."

Xianxia Chu Yang was still worrying about the Demon Refining Tower wasting the cultivation of a ten-thousand-year great demon a second ago, and as a result, he immediately obtained such a suitable technique to help him solve the problem.

After synchronizing the information of the Treasure Refining Art to the others, Xianxia Chu Yang began to seek opinions on which part of the body would be most suitable to refine the five demon beads into.

After some discussion, everyone finally locked onto the internal organs.

The internal organs themselves have the theory of the five elements: the kidneys belong to water, the liver to wood, the heart to fire, the spleen to earth, and the lungs to metal. Among the six entrails, the kidneys and bladder belong to the same, the liver and gallbladder belong to the same, the heart and small intestine belong to the same, the spleen and stomach belong to the same, and the lungs and large intestine belong to the same.

The only slight difference is that the five demon beads do not have metal and wood, but thunder and wind.

However, it doesn't matter; the power of the five spirits forms its own cycle. Once completed, there will be no possibility of disorder.

After studying the Treasure Refining Art for a while, Xianxia Chu Yang began to refine the five demon beads within the main hall. With so many people around, it would be easier to have support if something went wrong.

Xianxia Chu Yang chanted incantations, and the five demon beads emitted a strange light, slowly floating around his body.

The Fire Demon Bead, Earth Demon Bead, and Water Demon Bead entered Xianxia Chu Yang's body first, followed by red, yellow, and blue colors that constantly shifted within him.

The power of the three spirits constructed a Three Talents Array, which could further stabilize the spiritual energy.

The Wind Demon Bead, with its slightly softer attributes, entered Xianxia Chu Yang's body, and the power of the three spirits locked it down, slowly refining it.

When the Thunder Demon Bead finally entered his body, Xianxia Chu Yang's internal organs had already become very stable, remaining unmoved no matter how the spiritual power rampaged.

A moment later, the spiritual power suddenly became docile, and the cycle of the five spirits' power was achieved among Xianxia Chu Yang's internal organs.

The interior of his body had received an unprecedented strengthening.

With the strengthening of each organ—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—Xianxia Chu Yang's physical fitness could be improved exponentially! Besides his body, Xianxia Chu Yang also simultaneously gained the ability to control the five spirits of thunder, wind, water, fire, and earth.

"Brothers, I have successfully transferred from a warrior to a mage!"

Xianxia Chu Yang was very excited and couldn't wait to synchronize his current state.

"The thing inside the fruit was actually a cultivation technique!"

"Could it be that every fruit contains a cultivation technique?"

"Maybe it's not just cultivation techniques. What if it's something else next time?"

"I also feel there's something else."

"It's a good thing that what we got this time is very suitable for us."

"I want to test the power of the five spirits."

"Me too!"

Not long after, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the Soul Palace, fire soared into the sky, and for a while, there were storms, and then meteorites fell from the sky.

If the territory hadn't been large enough, the entire palace would probably have been demolished.

……………

Ming Empire world.

Seven Heroes Town.

On a dark and windy night, Chu Yang and a youthful, beautiful girl were tied to a stone mill, and the girl was angrily cursing something in her mouth.

"Junior Sister, I told you long ago that we should keep a low profile while traveling the world. Now look, we're tied to a stone mill, and we're not donkeys."

"You're still talking! If it weren't for you holding me back, how could I have lost to that damn waiter?!"

"People are already calling us the Male and Female Duo of Evil; haven't you realized yet that this is a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding my foot! We are the Duo of Heroes! If you hadn't exposed our identities, how would we have been ambushed by them? You're really stupid. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you out to travel the world!"

"Duo of Heroes, my foot. You've caused plenty of trouble along the way. While I went to buy a bun, you actually learned to snatch a bride and beat the groom until he was almost crippled!"

"He clearly looked like he was forcing a woman! You didn't see how heartbroken the bride was crying at the time. If I hadn't saved her, her life would have been miserable!"

"Bullshit! That Miss Zhao was rejected multiple times because of her poor appearance. She finally met a man who didn't mind her looks, and she was moved to tears when they got married. Who would have thought you'd ruin it!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense? You ran away after beating the person up. I went to deliver money to Miss Zhao in the middle of the night to apologize, and as a result, I was surrounded by the groom and his men and almost beaten to death."

"When we were at Shibalipu, I even saved a little beggar! If it weren't for me, he would have been burned alive by that old villain with a fire cup!"

"Speaking of this, I get angry. We had just opened two rooms at the inn, and when I turned around, I saw you beating up a doctor. Let me tell you, he was using cupping therapy to treat an illness. How many doctors are still willing to treat beggars these days?"

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening! You're just jealous that my martial arts are better than yours and you can't stand me doing chivalrous deeds without you!"

Chu Yang sighed to the sky, wanting to cry but having no tears. Every time Guo Furong caused trouble, she was one step ahead of him, and afterward, she wouldn't listen to his teachings, repeating the same words over and over.

He should have stayed in the capital and enjoyed life. He didn't know if his brain had short-circuited or what, but he had inexplicably come to accompany her to travel the world.

"I'm really cheap..."

After thinking about it, Chu Yang could only use this sentence to summarize his behavior.

It was hard enough to reach the town, and because it was late, Chu Yang didn't ask for information and just found an inn to stay at. Who would have thought it would happen to be the Tongfu Inn.

It was full of talented people inside.

When checking in, Guo Furong let something slip in a few words, exposing their identities as the Male and Female Duo of Evil, and at night, they were quietly acupointed by Bai Zhantang and tied to the stone mill in the backyard.

As a result, she even blamed Chu Yang, saying it was his fault.

"I don't know if we can live until dawn..." Guo Furong said with tears streaming down her face, feeling aggrieved. "I miss my father. If my father were here, he could take them down in two or three moves."

"With your heartless personality, you're definitely going to live a long life, so don't worry at all." Chu Yang sighed and cursed inwardly, "If your father knew what you've done along the way, he'd definitely beat you into a retard."

Guo Furong couldn't take it and started counting Chu Yang's faults again: "You started learning earlier than me and have learned the Surging Waves Palm from my father for so many years, so why are you not as good as me?"

Chu Yang was already used to this level of sarcasm and couldn't be offended at all. He replied calmly, "My talent is limited, but fortunately, my family is rich, so not having high martial arts doesn't affect my life."

Thinking of how Chu Yang spent money lavishly when he was in the capital, Guo Furong had no temper at all. He always bought things in pairs, using one and throwing one away; she had never seen such a wasteful rich person.

If an ordinary playboy spent money like this and her father, Guo Juxia, saw it, he would definitely give him a severe lecture. But from childhood to adulthood, Guo Furong had never heard her father say a word to Chu Yang.

It was always just praise.

When practicing martial arts, if the fellow disciples were slightly lazy, they would be beaten, and only Chu Yang could slack off legitimately.

Therefore, Guo Furong had always been curious about Chu Yang's identity. She had asked a few times before, but the only result was Guo Juxia's scolding.

"There's one thing I really want to ask you, but Father never lets me ask."

"Spit it out if you have something to say!"

"Why does Father usually let us call you Chu Yang, but in private, Father calls you Young Master Zhu? Is your surname Chu, or is it Zhu?"

"None of your business. I'll have whatever surname I want."

Chu Yang retorted in a stiff tone, as if some unhappy things had been touched upon.

Ever since he transmigrated into this strange world, it would be no exaggeration to describe Chu Yang's days as walking on thin ice.

His luck was actually not bad; he was born into the old Zhu family.

The Zhu of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Being born into an imperial family has both good and bad sides. Wealth and honor are certainly endless, provided you can stay alive. The traditions of the old Zhu family are not much different from the old Li family; scenes of brothers killing each other are not rare.

When he first transmigrated, Chu Yang still held some unrealistic ideals, so he tried his best to perform in front of the late emperor, hoping to get his approval.

In fact, he achieved his goal.

Chu Yang still remembers that at a birthday banquet, the late emperor looked at him and said, "A-Yang is most like me when I was young."

It was this one sentence that made the lively main hall almost silent in an instant, and it took a long time for the sound of talking to return.

And that very night, Chu Yang fell into the lake. He didn't drown, but he almost froze to death.

But compared to the cold lake water, it was that cold palace that made him feel chilled.

Because the one who pushed Chu Yang into the lake was his elder brother, who is also the current Emperor.

Then, the late emperor suddenly died, and Chu Yang immediately changed from a model student to a demon king who was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. No one in the entire capital dared to provoke him.

A very cliché way of self-defilement, but undoubtedly very effective.

He lost the hope of competing for the throne, but he survived, and he lived quite well.

Most importantly, the Imperial Brother who ascended to the throne also believed that he had become a playboy and no longer regarded him as a thorn in his side; he even trusted him very much.

This act had been going on for more than ten years. Chu Yang felt a bit breathless recently, so he followed Guo Furong to travel the world. Anyway, he had done many outrageous things, so one more didn't matter.

After leaving the palace, Chu Yang discovered that this world was very different from what he had imagined.

He had seen someone cut a river with a single sword.

He had also seen someone punch the sky, and a big hole was broken in the sky.

Someone walked through the air under the moon, like an immortal descending to earth.

Even more terrifying, he had seen a great demon cross the sky, only to be beheaded by a peerless powerhouse with a single sword, who then drifted away.

In short.

This world is very wrong!
