Master might as well first find a scenic spot to establish camp, enjoy the scenery here, while this old servant goes to inform the mountain guardian, Huang Xiong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We already have Prince Yong’s reply, with his permission granted; even if Huang Xiong dares to be bold, he would never dare to harass us—worst case, he might delay us a few days, nothing more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, though fearing reprimand, the steward still forced himself to add:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, Huang Xiong is now the commander of Fish Lake Mountain, appointed by Prince Yong’s mansion to guard this spiritual mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his miserable life is insignificant, here he represents Prince Yong’s face; please, Master, endure for now, do not threaten or strike at Huang Xiong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if this spreads, it might not only anger Prince Yong’s mansion but even Master and the eldest son might be displeased with you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang was not surprised—he had assumed the identity of Yu Xiaoyu, who had once sought to marry a lady from Prince Yong’s mansion, hoping to climb into the true power circles of the demon kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiong, the current guardian of Fish Lake Mountain, was a household-born servant of Prince Yong’s mansion, later sent out into the world, where he stumbled upon a great opportunity and finally rose to prominence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiong, like Yu Xiaoyu, harbored the same ambition—to use a marital alliance to elevate his status in the demon kingdom—and both had set their sights on the same lady of Prince Yong’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the relationship between Yu Xiaoyu and Huang Xiong was hardly amicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To call them mutual enemies would be no exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward was an old retainer of Yu Xiaoyu’s; he understood his master’s temperament better than any other demonic cultivator present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had arrived on Huang Xiong’s territory, and given Huang Xiong’s usual arrogance, even with Prince Yong’s letter in hand, Huang Xiong would surely find some minor pretext to harass them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xiaoyu already bore old grudges against Huang Xiong; if Huang Xiong now sought to pick a fight over trivialities, matters would become unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not impossible that Yu Xiaoyu, in a rage, would summon troops to attack Fish Lake Mountain…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So your meaning is, there are still uncertainties entering Fish Lake Mountain?” Chen Hang asked, turning his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible! He dares not have such audacity! I stake my life on it—this scoundrel will at most put on airs, nitpick at minor details, and delay Master a few days at most; how would he dare obstruct entry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried that this man might act impulsively, the steward immediately swore and vowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, seeing the steward still gesturing wildly toward heaven and earth, Chen Hang waved his hand slightly, signaling him to stop:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I entrust this matter to you. Do it well, and do not bring shame to my—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward, hearing this, could not help but rejoice—he had not expected Yu Xiaoyu to be so reasonable today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, Chen Hang turned away and ordered the demonic cultivators to find a place to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a group of demonic cultivators surged into a scenic spot surrounded by mountains and water, quickly setting up camps, planting banners and forming formations, all with clear discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang had not yet sat long in his tent when, from the corner of his eye, he glimpsed a faint flicker of bloodlight—he was not surprised, and merely said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems Master Lu has thought things through these past few days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong’s expression darkened slightly as he replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can spare one dose of Chi Fan Zhen from my own allocation for you, Master Chen, but I, too, have conditions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am all ears,” said Chen Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, Daoist sects and demonic cults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As eternal, renowned high-lineage traditions within the myriad heavens and universes, the Eight Sects and Six Clans each possessed unique methods, difficult for outsiders to glimpse, let alone obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an eternal lineage renowned throughout all heavens and universes, the Eight Sects and Six Clans each possess unique methods, difficult for outsiders to glimpse, let alone obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yuchen possessed Thunder Golden Platform Flowing Elixir, capable of illuminating the Primordial Spirit, revealing the true self, dispelling illusions, and revealing truth—a supreme elixir aiding cultivation toward the Immortal Return state, exceedingly precious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongyi possessed the Dragon Extreme Treasure Pearl Golden Core, capable of cleansing greed, anger, and delusion, enhancing sword Dao wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though imitating the ancient Dao Court’s Shangye Cave Pearl, its effects were identical, with added benefits for tempering the heart—clearly a self-invented method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Demonic Sect’s Xuantian Embryo and Qunyu True Crystals could replenish deficiencies and heal Dao injuries; the Divine Control Sect’s Refined Immortal Marrow enabled the heart to commune with the divine, foretelling fortune and misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northern Pole Garden’s Two Yin Three Scenes Elixir was specifically for Pure Yang Wind Calamities; the Xuan Feng Cave’s Gu Shen Spirit Pills nourished the physical body; as for the Nine Truth Sect’s Four Saints Immortality Pill, it greatly extended lifespan, preserving the user’s youth forever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood River Sect, as one of the Eight Sects and Six Clans, was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chi Fan Zhen Chen Hang had discussed with Lu Rong was precisely the Blood River Sect’s unique secret elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the struggles and killings among cultivators, unless one side possessed overwhelming superiority and could crush the other at once, victory almost always came down to the recovery of spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it came to restoring magic power, the Blood River Sect’s Chi Fan Zhen was unquestionably among the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It restored magic power with astonishing speed, with no restrictions on use—simply swallow it, no rituals or hand seals required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, few of the secret elixirs within the Eight Sects and Six Clans could match it; even Yu Yuchen’s Spirit Mansion Primordial Elixir and Thunder Palace Pills were slightly inferior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formula for Chi Fan Zhen was meticulously crafted by a great immortal of ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says that before his cultivation, this immortal’s foundation was weaker than his peers’, and he repeatedly lost opportunities in combat due to insufficient energy recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ascending to immortality, he deliberately created this elixir—clearly still haunted by past humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu Du Great Elixir at the Elixir Assembly was only one, and though the rest were valuable, they paled in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since everyone desired that opportunity, entering the contest meant nearly everyone became an enemy—even fellow sect members might turn against each other at the final moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, even Chen Hang, with his top-grade elixir and profound foundation, dared not claim a sure victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered two or three formidable opponents like Lu Rong,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then unless it came to a final, life-or-death duel, Chen Hang could only avoid direct confrontation, striving to withdraw from the fray and preserve his primordial energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his ultimate techniques—Beidou’s Death Mark, Yinming True Water, and even the Taiyi Divine Thunder, still distant from mastery—were all genuine “gold-devouring beasts,” consuming immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first attempted the immortality ability of Yinming True Water, he exhausted over sixty percent of his vast magic power, leaving his spirit weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was partly due to Chen Hang’s insufficient mastery of Yinming True Water, his inability to wield it smoothly, and his failure to break through the Golden Core minor realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given this precedent, he suspected that at the upcoming Elixir Assembly, he could not freely use Yinming True Water’s immortality ability—he could only reserve it for critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yinming True Water was like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taiyi Divine Thunder, the supreme killing technique of the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, need not be mentioned further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang even suspected that, with his current Golden Core Second Layer, even if he mastered Taiyi Divine Thunder, he might lack sufficient magic power to unleash it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps only upon reaching Golden Core Third Layer, when he could forge an inner landscape within his body, could he barely manifest even a fraction of Taiyi Divine Thunder’s divine might…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, the convenient magic-power-restoring Chi Fan Zhen had naturally been firmly recorded in Chen Hang’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, at Guangyang Lake, Lu Rong had hinted at his grudge with Xiao Lingji, revealing to Chen Hang that Xiao Lingji had taken advantage of his weakened state, nearly stolen his primordial yang, turning him into her elixir slave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Lu Rong’s nature, he naturally viewed this as a profound humiliation, unforgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Lu Rong not been severely wounded after his battle with Ruan Youchong, his primordial energy depleted, he would not have given a second thought to a mere True Disciple of the Zuanhuan Palace like Xiao Lingji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even another Xiao Lingji, he was confident he could handle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only because the current Daisui Temple’s Tan Su was formidable—already the designated next abbot of Daisui Temple, practicing the unmoving perfect meditation, exceptionally skilled in prolonged defense—could Lu Rong not bypass Tan Su, hence his turn to Chen Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Tan Su not stood in his way, Lu Rong would have already fought Xiao Lingji outright, avenging his humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Rong said nothing more; he swept his sleeve, and a half-fist-sized wisp of blood smoke drifted gently toward him, bathing the room in crimson light, strikingly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang knew this was the famed Chi Fan Zhen; as he reached out to take it, he instantly felt his bones and sinews relax in blissful ease, his blood flow quickening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After praising it, he gently pushed the Chi Fan Zhen forward and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earlier, Master Lu hesitated; why the sudden decision now? But I must say plainly: every True Disciple of a great sect possesses a life-saving trump card—defeating them is easy, killing them is hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you wish me to kill Tan Su, the obstacle in your path, I fear I cannot help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Chi Fan Zhen was precious, Lu Rong, as a Blood River True Disciple and destined Dao Heir, surely had reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yu Yuchen’s Thunder Golden Platform Flowing Elixir—countless True Disciples of the Eight Sects and Six Clans coveted it—when Chen Hang reached the Return to Void state, Yu Yuchen would surely supply him fully, ensuring he never lacked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Fan Zhen is precious, but Lu Rong, as a blood-river true disciple and destined dao-heir, naturally has some surplus on hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is like Yu Yuchen’s Thunder Golden Platform Flowing Paste—countless true disciples of the Eight Sects and Six Clans covet this elixir, but should Chen Hang reach the Return to Void realm, Yu Yuchen will surely supply him fully, ensuring he never lacks it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong also understood Chen Hang’s intent in seeking the Chifan Zhen; with the Dan Yuan Conference approaching, he naturally had no desire to strengthen his rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now this man had suddenly made up his mind, even producing the Chifan Zhen in advance to show sincerity—this was truly peculiar…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time is precious; I have no patience to waste on Xiao Lingji. If I miss this chance, I won’t know when I’ll see her again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If she’s determined to hide, can I chase her forever?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know true transmissions are easy to defeat but hard to kill. Offering this Chifan Zhen as payment is merely to ask True Person Chen to help me track Xiao Lingji’s whereabouts after leaving Fish Lake Mountain, then intercept Tan Su the monk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for Xiao Lingji, I have my own ways to make this wretched woman suffer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang’s heart stirred slightly: “At my current Golden Core Second Layer realm, this Chifan Zhen could restore most of my magic power in short order—True Person Lu is indeed generous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True Person Chen, you jest. With our current status, only true treasures are worth our effort—this is only proper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong glanced at him, then sighed with interest:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pity—the Dan Yuan Conference demands we respect sect boundaries. Otherwise, with our combined strength, who in the Nine Continents and Four Seas could stand against us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang merely smiled: “Heroes of the world are as numerous as fish crossing a river. True Person Lu underestimates the Golden Core cultivators of Xu Du.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do elaborate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True Person Chi Mingwei, guardian of Gu Yi; Weng Huang Yin Wujie—perhaps add a few Golden Core cultivators no longer on the Suidan rankings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True Person Chi Mingwei’s Jiang has the right Dan quality, yet has yet to achieve any notable victories—no need to dwell on him. Gu Yi, though a junior, is intriguing but still no match for me. As for Yin Wujie…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When mentioning Yin Wujie’s name, Lu Rong grew slightly serious and nodded reluctantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve met him—he has real skill. But just how strong he truly is won’t be clear until we’ve fought properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond these juniors, the rest—Zhou Fujia, Li Yuwei, Pei Zhi, Zheng Shengren—all amount to nothing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only Yu Huangshang, True Person Yu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong’s voice cut off abruptly; deep within his pupils, blood-red light burned fiercely, his battle intent surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since defeating Ruan Youchong, who had cultivated the Heavenly Edict True Talisman, he had long desired to return to Xu Du Tian and challenge Yu Huangshang once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that day now seemed close at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong suppressed his battle intent and changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think of my earlier proposal, True Person Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hang tucked away the Chifan Zhen and replied readily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After leaving Fish Lake Mountain, I will help you track them down and intercept Tan Su the monk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After leaving Fish Lake Mountain, I can help you track down those two and intercept Master Tan Su.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! After we leave Fish Lake Mountain, I’ll contact you via smoke signal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rong then asked a few more questions about the feud between the mountain guardian Huang Xiong and Yu Xiaoyu, learned it was merely petty rivalry that wouldn’t delay their entry, and thus dismissed it, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than half an hour after Lu Rong departed, Ren Guanshi—the official sent by Chen Hang to deliver the message to Huang Xiong—rushed into the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his face showed hesitation, he still listed every condition Huang Xiong had demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huang Xiong insists on this, or he won’t open the mountain’s array barrier. He also says that even if this reaches the Yong Prince’s ears, he has his justification.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Guanshi cautiously studied Chen Hang’s expression, then quickly lowered his head and sighed helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huang Xiong’s demand actually aids my plans after entering the mountain…” Chen Hang thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet though he thought so, his face still wore an unwilling expression; after a long outburst of anger, he reluctantly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn the next day, as the first rays of light fell upon the forest, the mountain’s cold mist remained thick and damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous roar, Fish Lake Mountain opened a passage large enough for passage; numerous demonic cultivators guarding the mountain lined the azure clouds, waving banners and beating drums, their ranks stretching beyond sight, their aura of bloodlust rising violently into the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous roar, Fish Lake Mountain opened a gateway large enough for passage; countless demon cultivators guarding the mountain lined up in the azure clouds, some waving banners, others beating drums, their ranks stretching beyond sight, brimming with lethal aura that surged heavenward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Hang arrived, escorted by Ren Guanshi and the other household guards, a broad-shouldered, fat, hairy man, bare-chested, chuckled and leapt forward from the front ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Hang was escorted forward by Ren the steward and the other household guards, a hairy man, bare-chested and broad-shouldered with a fat frame, chuckled and leapt out from the front military formation.\u003C\u002Fp>",3228,"2026-06-19T22:30:06.574Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d52b5b66fef6b33d85e8fe9a3947773fb128ccb67e7c9b6222ebdaf5cc83aa1b","the-path-of-immortality-chapter-477","the-path-of-immortality-chapter-475",545,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-path-of-immortality-cover.jpg"]
