Chapter 136 On the road to immortality there are no kind guests, and before the gate of the Great Da
After relinquishing control of the body, Venerable Burning Ruins quickly revealed the true identity of the middle-aged man before him to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was filled with shock and entered the body with his divine sense.
The stinging pain all over his body made him gasp, his head spinning.
Just as I regained some consciousness, I saw a long sword thrusting towards me.
I rely on!
After exclaiming in surprise, he immediately shouted out Zhang Xuanchen's name!
"Brother Xuanchen! Stop! It's me, Xiao Yan!"
The sound was loud and echoed throughout the area.
Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen stopped and watched as Xiao Yan's long hair turned from crimson back to black.
He chuckled inwardly.
He deliberately feigned surprise.
He asked, "Are you really Brother Xiao?"
No, Brother Xiao couldn't possibly have seen through my disguise!
"Tell me, who are you!"
Xiao Yan stared intently at the sword tip, which was 0.01 centimeters away from him, cold sweat pouring down his face.
The sweat on my back soaked through my clothes.
Seeing Zhang Xuanchen still pointing his sword at him, Xiao Yan didn't dare to make any rash moves, fearing that he would be killed by a single sword strike.
He quickly explained, "It really is me, I am Xiao Yan."
It wasn't me who recognized you; it was my master.
He told me.
Zhang Xuanchen raised an eyebrow, looking on with a hint of disbelief, and asked, "Your master?"
With that, he withdrew the Dragon Abyss Sword that had been pressed against Xiao Yan's neck.
This made Xiao Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she quickly recounted to Zhang Xuanchen how she met her master and what she had experienced over the past three years.
It turns out that after the separation at Fire Maple Mountain, Xiao Yan went to the Azure Nether Mountain Range for training, but was stopped by the bandits as soon as he entered the mountain.
At that time, Xiao Yan was not even at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so how could he possibly be a match for this group of Tribulation Cultivators? He was immediately beaten and fled in panic.
Forced to jump off a cliff.
Then, after a near-death experience, he successfully refined a second-tier demonic fire.
This demonic fire was the remnant flame of a second-tier demonic beast, the Fire Spirit Python, after its death. It was extremely fierce, and I almost died while trying to refine it.
Fortunately, he survived with the help of his master.
His strength has also increased to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
After that, they lived a wild life in the mountains for two years.
It wasn't until a year ago, when he broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and gained a sliver of self-protection ability, that he chose to leave the Azure Nether Mountains and stumbled his way to Dao Sword Immortal City.
They wanted to kill demons to exchange for some rare and expensive natural treasures.
A while ago, I went to the Mission Hall and saw a spirit jade mine on Spirit Jade Island.
He was thinking of stealing a few pieces so his master could refine some magical artifacts and sell them for spirit stones.
However, just as he successfully stole the spirit jade and was preparing to leave, he accidentally stepped on a small branch.
Then they were discovered and chased all the way here.
Listening to Xiao Yan's description, Zhang Xuanchen felt a surge of emotion.
This is the life of the vast majority of cultivators in the cultivation world. Without a background, they can only rely on their own hard work to earn spirit stones to exchange for cultivation resources.
One careless move and you could die.
Of course, Xiao Yan is an exception.
Although he suffered greatly, he was protected by Venerable Fenxu, and as long as he didn't do anything reckless, he was not likely to die.
He was born as the young master of a Golden Core family, which means his starting point was the endpoint for 90% of cultivators in the cultivation world.
Although the family didn't have many spirit stones at the start, they were strong. Several people traveled together through the Qingming Mountains and the outer reaches of the Ziyun Mountains.
If you really can't make ends meet, just wipe out a few evil cultivator forces or some robber cultivator gangs.
Acquiring resources is not difficult.
He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, looking at the young man who was only three years older than him with a very complicated expression.
A hint of admiration flickered in his eyes.
Is this the chosen one?
Only through hardship can one achieve greatness.
Fortunately, I have a cheat code and the protection of my family.
"Brother Xiao, do you regret it? Are you tired?"
If you had known beforehand, would you still have chosen to embark on the path of cultivation?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan fell silent.
Slowly raising his head, he looked up at the sky and began to speak:
"When I first awakened my spiritual root at the age of seven and began cultivating, I was exceptionally gifted and full of vigor. I cultivated to make my father proud and to satisfy my own vanity."
After that, my cultivation level regressed instead of progressing. Seeing the disdain and insults from my clansmen, I gritted my teeth and continued to cultivate, just to prove that I was not a waste and to make my father, the clan leader, hold his head high in front of the clansmen.
When I was eighteen, Liu Ruyan from the Yunshan Sword Sect came to break off our engagement, humiliating me, my father, and the Xiao family!
It is I, Xiao Yan, who have brought shame upon the family. At this moment, I have made up my mind to cultivate in order to protect the family and allow everyone in the family to live with dignity.
And now, besides all of these, I have another dream.
That is... to resurrect my master.
So, I have no regrets! I don't mind the hard work! And I'm not afraid of dying!
On the road to immortality, there are no kind guests; before the gates of the Great Way, there are many white bones.
If one does not strive, spiritual energy will dissipate, opportunities will be lost, and the path to enlightenment will be lost.
Only by risking one's life can one carve out a path to immortality amidst the fierce competition of countless paths!
Xiao Yan's words were firm and powerful, his tone full of confidence and determination.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, my heart remains as firm as a rock, and I will brave the wind and waves!
In his sea of consciousness, Venerable Burning Ruins listened to Xiao Yan's heartfelt words, and his heart, which had been silent for thousands of years, trembled violently.
A warm feeling washed over me.
Yan'er...
Don't worry, even if I die, I will protect you and do everything in my power to train you into a top expert!
Venerable Burning Ruins made a secret vow.
Even with his consciousness extremely weak, he was already devising a follow-up cultivation plan for Xiao Yan.
Zhang Xuanchen stared at him blankly, not expecting Xiao Yan to say such a thing.
The saying "On the road to immortality, there are no kind guests; before the gate of the Great Dao, there are many white bones" perfectly encapsulates the cruelty of the cultivation world.
It seems that during the years when his cultivation regressed, and the three years he spent cultivating with Venerable Burning Ruins, he gained a lot of insights and learned a great deal.
You can write this down to encourage the younger generation in the clan later.
With Xiao Yan as a role model, their enthusiasm for cultivation will definitely be ignited!
"Brother Xiao, I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as you."
I believe that you will surely become a top expert in the Xuanqiong Immortal Cultivation World in the future.
Don't forget your brother when the time comes.
As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen winked at him.
Everyone has their own path; Xiao Yan has his, and so does he.
Xiao Yan's experiences cannot be replicated, but that does not mean that one cannot become a top expert without these hardships.
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Xiao Yan scratched his head sheepishly.
"Brother Chen, I'm glad you don't laugh at me for talking big. I got a little carried away just now."
I'm just a Qi Refining cultivator right now...
"What's wrong with Qi Refining cultivators? Who is born a strong person? Don't they all climb up step by step?"
The first person you must trust is yourself; only then can you be inherently invincible!
As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement!
