Chapter 201

~15 min read 2,969 words

To tread on a place of ten thousand deaths and one life, without regret or fear, drawing one's sword to contend for the lead.

Wherever one goes.

Invincible in battle, taking whatever one attacks, planning without fault, one against ten thousand, embodying the origin and controlling the ultimate, divine and enlightened.

Thus, one can be called a "Victor in Dharma Combat"!

Those who can earn such a title are all genius seeds in winning Dharma combat, winning against the strong with the weak, and fighting many with one, which are all common occurrences.

Not to mention the other Xuan sects and demon gates.

Within the Yuchen Sect, the last person to be crowned with the title of "Victor in Dharma Combat" was still the Daoist child Master Junyao...

……

True Person Ming You previously added the title of "Victor in Dharma Combat" to Chen Heng.

It was merely to borrow Chen Yushu to mock Chen Heng's background, and he did not harbor much goodwill.

But Chen Heng's action of fighting many with one, on the contrary, truly solidified this title in front of a large crowd.

Making True Person Ming You's mockery become open praise.

Indirectly helping him make a name for himself...

"Chen Heng, having fought several people in succession, I think your spirit is also exhausted; step down."

At this time.

Elder Huo saw that the hall was silent and very quiet; he stroked his long beard with satisfaction and said to Chen Heng with a slow smile, his attitude kind.

"This disciple obeys."

Chen Heng smiled slightly, bowed, and retreated to his seat.

Controlling the Qi soldier did not require consuming anything from his true body; not to mention fighting ten or more in succession, even if he fought a hundred or more, he would definitely not be exhausted.

But it was not appropriate to tear the facade apart completely.

Since the noble families had been made to lose face heavily today, Elder Huo was also satisfied and did not want to continue making a scene, leaving both sides in an awkward position.

Therefore, when he said this sentence.

Even if Chen Heng was not tired, he had to be tired...

And after he retreated, Elder Huo and True Person Ming You pointed to several more people to enter the field and continue the battle; Jiang Daolian and Seven Qiao Rui were also among them.

However, after Chen Heng and Sima Quantong.

Not only the two great True Persons, but even the disciples in the hall were very uninterested in this Qi soldier performance and could not raise any interest in watching.

Only when Seven Qiao Rui and Jiang Daolian faced each other did a slight clamor arise, and discussions gradually began...

"Thank you for the hospitality; today, this old man has had enough wine and meat, and has seen another true hero of our sect, so I am already satisfied."

Elder Huo turned his head and said to True Person Ming You:

"If the True Person has time in the future, you can come to the Xiaoming Great Marsh to have a chat with this old man; it would be a beautiful thing for us to discuss the profound and the Dao together, and by then, this old man will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since when did I have such good friendship with you?"

True Person Ming You complained incessantly in his heart, but nodded on the surface and said with a smile:

"Definitely, next time if I have free time, I will definitely visit Elder Huo in person!"

When he finished speaking.

Elder Huo shook his shoulders, launched a brilliant starlight like glaze, instantly pierced through layers of the dark void, and disappeared from the Cang Guang Xuan Terrace, leaving no trace.

And True Person Ming You, after looking deeply at Chen Heng, closed his eyes, his sleeves moved without wind, and countless illusory dust rose on their own, floating like catkins, lightly covering his body, and then he also disappeared.

"This disciple respectfully sends off Elder Huo and True Person Ming You."

The disciples bowed and performed the ceremony together, saying respectfully.

After the two great True Persons left.

The expressions on everyone's faces were suddenly much more relaxed, their expressions happy, as if they had taken off a large blue rock that had been pressing on their shoulders and backs.

Like the Great True Persons of the Immortal Dao.

They were already not wet when entering water, not hot when entering fire, riding dragons to fly in the sky, cicada wings at ninety-five, climbing the clouds, and lasting as long as heaven and earth.

Their cultivation base was heaven-reaching and earth-shattering, they had opened the mysterious pass of heaven and earth, possessed boundless and vast magic power, succeeded in water and fire, returned to the ancestors, which is called jumping out of the "World Cage of Qiankun"!

Even if placed in the ancient era of the Dao Court, which was strong and brilliant, the Great True Persons of the Immortal Dao were not pawns that could be discarded at will and were insignificant.

If they were willing to accept the imperial decree of the Dao Court, not to mention serving as the master of a boundary in the void.

If there was a heaven-reaching human relationship behind them, even the position of "Earth Lord" could be contested!

Being in the same hall with such figures, even though the two great True Persons deliberately restrained their Qi, it still made many inner disciples feel uneasy and very heavy and oppressed.

And at this time.

Seeing the two great True Persons leave, many disciples also wanted to disperse.

Xie Huizhai, who was at the head, rolled his eyes, held a jade goblet, rose suddenly, and said to the crowd with a laugh:

"Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! Why are you fellow disciples in such a hurry to return? It's rare for us to gather here today, so we must enjoy ourselves to the fullest! Just now, the two honored elders were present, and Xie had many methods that were difficult to display; next, please sit down and drink wine, and watch my arrangements!"

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

And very quickly.

A youth with a pale face, long and narrow eyes, and wearing floral embroidered clothes understood; he looked at Xie Huizhai and said with great joy:

"Brother Huizhai, you have always been someone who knows how to play; does this Dharma assembly today really have unfinished excitement?"

"Brother Liu, you truly know me!"

Xie Huizhai cupped his hands and said.

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

And many noble family members also understood one after another, clapping and laughing, their voices shaking the house for a time.

"A bunch of fools."

Jiang Daolian curled her lips coldly, a trace of mockery appearing in the depths of her eyes; she rose from her seat and left the hall.

And Xie Tang, Sima Quantong, Wei Yang, Liu Jing, and other noble family members obviously guessed what Xie Huizhai's so-called enjoyment was, had no interest in it, just cupped their hands slightly toward Xie Huizhai, and left their seats as well.

For a time.

More than a hundred noble family members and some sect disciples who had vaguely heard the wind left, making the hall suddenly much emptier.

"Enjoyment? What enjoyment? What arrangements does he have?"

Seven Qiao Rui was confused, pulled the female companion beside her who wanted to take her away, and asked questions, her face full of curiosity.

"Anyway, it's not a good thing..."

The female companion stopped speaking.

"Ah?" Seven Qiao Rui blinked.

At this time.

As Xie Huizhai threw the jade goblet in his hand hard onto the ground, he shouted.

From outside the hall.

Two groups of beautiful men and women walked in, bowing and smiling toward the disciples who were still sitting in the hall.

These men and women were all beautiful in appearance, and although their clothing looked dignified and magnificent, it had been deliberately tailored.

Between their gestures.

They could always leak a trace of bright spring light, full of amorous feelings, hooking people's hearts and igniting fire.

And several of them, although they had human bodies, also had animal tails, long horns, shell scales, wings, etc., obviously being alien demon species.

Strange and varied, their beauty was scorching—

"……"

Seeing this, Seven Qiao Rui was stunned at first, then pulled the hand of the female companion beside her and hurriedly ran out of the hall, as if fleeing.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Mi, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Mi..."

After calling several times, the person beside him who was a bit stunned finally came to his senses and looked at Chen Heng, who had spoken.

"I will take my leave first."

Chen Heng cupped his hands and also rose from his seat.

Not long after he walked out of the palace not far away.

He heard laughter and noise behind him, surging like a tide.

The greasy scent of powder and rouge drifted far away with the wind...

"Why don't you go and play together, brat? You must know that chatting, laughing, and enjoying oneself is the way for us carefree immortals!"

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo teased habitually.

"I am just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator; the affairs of immortals are still too far from me."

Chen Heng smiled faintly.

"I know your heart for the Dao is firm, so I won't mention these things; however, your battle this time has made your original reputation even louder. Victor in Dharma Combat... in the Yuchen Sect, only your Daoist child brother-in-law Master Junyao has ever held this title!" The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo was very emotional:

"Back when he was at the East Sea Dragon Palace, he had already begun to show his talent; later, at the Danyuan Assembly, he used his own strength to press the talents and heroes of all sects until they could not breathe, making it difficult to see his back, and truly solidified the title of 'Victor in Dharma Combat'!

It's just a pity that Master Junyao has ended up like this now, it's also...

Chen Yushu is truly committing a sin!"

Hearing this, Chen Heng was silent, speechless for a time.

"My 'Victor in Dharma Combat' has a lot of water in it; I really don't deserve this title. Getting this title, I fear it may not necessarily be a good thing."

After a long while.

He shook his head.

"Misfortune, that is where good fortune leans; good fortune, that is where misfortune hides; without reaching the true critical moment, how can one know?"

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo did not care, and then changed the subject:

"However, having said that, when will you brat exert yourself and refine me completely? With your slow work, I fear that by the time my true consciousness is exhausted and turns to ash, you won't have succeeded."

Hearing this, Chen Heng raised his eyebrows, and for a moment, he could not help but laugh in his heart.

……

When he first met this magic treasure.

This old man had a slow and arrogant attitude toward him; out of ten inquiries, it was rare to get one response.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Tu Shan Ge, his relationship with him gradually eased and became increasingly friendly, to the point that even the matter of refining was actively proposed.

You must know that if you refine a magic treasure.

That is equivalent to completely grasping the artifact spirit of the magic treasure in your hand, truly becoming the master of the magic treasure.

A single thought, even if you want to erase the original artifact spirit and refine a new one, is just an easy matter, effortless.

However, although the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo had long suggested this, Chen Heng had made very slow progress in this regard and had not seen much success.

In the final analysis, this was because the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo was a magic treasure that had given birth to true consciousness, and its rank was far above that of a talisman artifact.

And his cultivation base was still only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

To refine a magic treasure with a Foundation Establishment body.

Even if the magic treasure had no intention of resisting, this was not a matter of a few months; it would take several years of hard work to barely succeed.

And since Chen Heng began cultivating the Dao, what he lacked most was time.

Even if he had the intention, he could only temporarily put this action aside and plan other things first.

……

"Whether to refine or not, it actually doesn't matter much; anyway, I only possess true Qi now and haven't cultivated magic power yet."

Chen Heng shook his head: "Senior—"

Speaking to this point, Chen Heng had just left the large, flat white area in front of the palace and walked to a fork in the mountain road, and his voice transmission suddenly stopped.

I saw that on the mountain road.

An old servant who looked to be in his early sixties and had a very honest appearance was bowing and waiting.

"Young Master Chen."

As soon as the old servant saw Chen Heng's figure appear, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled:

"Please, Young Master Chen, stay for a moment; my master would like to invite you for a chat; if you are willing to give him face, that would truly be a great piece of good fortune!"

"I wonder who that master of yours is?"

Chen Heng stopped his steps.

The old servant pointed toward the palace not far away.

Where laughter and debauchery were faintly coming from.

The sound of drinking and making merry was endless, very lively.

"Could it be... Xie Huizhai?"

Chen Heng had a guess in his heart.

He pondered for a moment, finally cupped his hands slightly, followed the old servant as he led him down the mountain road, and arrived at a side hall.

And after waiting for a while.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Xie, please."

Chen Heng said.

"Chen Chen Shidi, seeing your face is truly not easy, heh! A bit of action actually brewed such a big scene today; Xie never expected it either."

With a sound of carefree laughter, the door was pushed open.

Xie Huizhai, who should have been indulging in debauchery in the palace, was now dressed solemnly and had come here.

He cupped his hands toward Chen Heng and sighed lightly.

"I don't have any private friendship with Xiao Xiao Shixiong Xie; I don't know what you are looking for me for today?"

Chen Heng rose and smiled.

"A big matter, naturally a matter of family, and also a matter of life..."

Xie Huizhai smiled bitterly.

Before Chen Heng could speak.

He walked quickly, suddenly stopped a few steps away from Chen Heng, bowed, performed a solemn ceremony, and bowed deeply to the ground.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Xie—"

Chen Heng was startled.

"I want to ask Chen Chen Shidi, after you achieve the Dao in the future, to spare my life! The grudge between the noble families and Chen Chen Shidi has absolutely nothing to do with me! If you involve me, that would truly be a great injustice! I would not be able to close my eyes even in death!"

He said with a hoarse and indignant voice, then added:

"Of course, if possible, I also ask Chen Chen Shidi to raise your hand and spare Xie Tang..."

"What?"

Chen Heng frowned slightly.

And at this time.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo in his sleeve finally came to its senses from its surprise, transmitted its voice, laughed heartily, and rolled around holding its stomach.

……

……

After a few cups of tea of conversation.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Xie bowed again and left with satisfaction.

"……"

Chen Heng looked at the jade box that Xie Huizhai had deliberately left on the table, was silent for a few seconds, and finally put it into his sleeve.

Even his mood was stirred to surprise by Xie Huizhai's act of begging for mercy, feeling it was quite absurd.

"This child is a smart person, a person who truly loves his life and cherishes his body... According to this old man's life experience, he should be sincerely begging for mercy from you, not deceiving you; don't be too suspicious."

At this time.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo said.

"True or false, it cannot be determined by one glance; let's see what happens later."

Chen Heng shook his head, did not stay any longer, just launched himself, flew into the air, and went straight to his cave dwelling on Lingyin Peak.

But before he could leave this Shigu Peak very far.

Two escape lights behind him split the air and broke through the clouds, coming from afar.

Chen Heng stopped his figure slightly in the air.

Seeing the figures in the two escape lights, they were vaguely Mi Hui and a young Daoist with an unfamiliar face.

He smiled and was just about to step forward to say hello.

But when his gaze moved to that unfamiliar Daoist, his expression froze involuntarily.

A bone-chilling coldness suddenly arose, and the hair on his back stood up.

Long time no see.

It made Chen Heng feel a strong sense of danger in his heart, several times more intense than when he faced the Ba She Yue You in the Earth Abyss!

"Actually... is it a human puppet?"

His pupils slowly shrank, and he said in a low voice in his heart.
