Stars in the sky twinkle.
A meteor streaks through the void.
A vast starry sky unfolds before one's eyes.
This is not over yet, as a long river of stars slashes through the sky.
The stars in the sky start to shake violently, moving in the same direction and slowly rotating counterclockwise.
Initially, the stars in the sky rotate at a moderate speed, allowing one to clearly discern the specific appearance of each star.
In a blink of an eye, the rotation speed of the stars suddenly accelerates.
It looks like a galaxy cluster, dragging a long light tail and rotating violently.
Like an electric fan set to three speeds, the only thing to be seen is the starlight, with nothing else discernible.
Only the center of the star river vortex remains empty.
Even without any light, it seems like a black hole in the universe.
Suddenly, a flash of light emerges from the "black hole."
A dazzling beam of light shines abruptly.
It seems like a comet rushing through the atmosphere, friction-burning and emitting a lot of light.
The light is almost overwhelming!
...
A distant seaside beach.
Xuanzhenzi and Dongmiaofuren, each carrying a sword, are gazing into the northern horizon.
Since their junior apprentice "Reckless" left, Xuanzhenzi and Dongmiaofuren, as the elder and second elder brothers, who are also spiritual partners, have been worried and have followed from a distance to protect his safety.
Dongmiaofuren said somewhat disdainfully, "My husband, the junior apprentice has the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian, invincible to anyone below the Realm of Immortals. Why do you have to make me follow you and guard him?"
Xuanzhenzi has his hands behind his back, with long beard fluttering in the wind: "That Chen Piao is not ordinary."
Dongmiaofuren laughed awkwardly, "Even if he's extraordinary, he was still killed once by the junior apprentice. If it weren't for the miraculous nine-life recovering herb such a divine medicine, he would have returned to the afterlife long ago. In my opinion, he's not worth mentioning."
"You women are so narrow-minded," Xuanzhenzi said with a furrowed brow. "According to rumors, Chen Pu has been practicing cultivation for only twenty-five years. He has already made a great name for himself in places like Sichuan and Dengzhou, and his cultivation level is also high. He is an extraordinary genius who shocks the history river. Even if we don't compare him to anyone in the past or future, just looking at the present, few people can match him. Don't you think it's absurd that such an extraordinary talent has no ability to protect himself?"
Dongmiaofuren didn't take it seriously, "So what? He was still killed once by the junior apprentice?"
Xuanzhenzi coldly laughed and said, "The junior apprentice's last victory was due to surprise attack. This Chen Pu has already learned from his lesson and must be more prepared. If you really look down on him, you may find that he beats you one day and you won't even know how you died!"
It can be seen that although Shen Xiu killed Chen Yun once using the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian, Xuanzhenzi still has a high appraisal of him.
Yes, Xuanzhenzi believes that a genius like Chen Yun would only make a mistake once in the same thing; it would be difficult to succeed the second time.
Therefore, he believes that the junior apprentice may be in danger today, which is why he insists on secretly following and protecting Shen Xiu's safety.
Dongmiaofuren was still not in agreement with her husband's words, but she didn't continue to argue. Instead, she said, "Even if Chen Pu can break the junior apprentice's Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian, we have our master and me helping out. Chen Pu is not something to be afraid of."
This time, Xuanzhenzi echoed, "Madam is right. Both of us are at the level of the master, and with the Purple and Blue twin swords combined, even a real immortal would be unable to withstand it. Chen Pu is indeed astonishing in his talents, but he cannot be our opponent."
...
On the other side, in the sea.
Master Zhu Rong and Yu Ji were floating in the midst of the sea of clouds, gazing afar.
Yu Ji's expression became serious as he said, "Master Wu Jiao, today is the crucial moment for Chen Pu's life that you mentioned. If he can pass through it, we will give him further great cultivation, and from then on, he will be able to live and let live. But if he cannot pass through it, his fate may be dangerous."
Master Zhu Rong's face remained calm as he said, "This is what we had previously discovered. Lately, I've recalculated it and found that his fate has changed. Today's event will certainly pass, but the future is even more dangerous."
Yu Ji was taken aback, "The fate has changed?"
Master Zhu Rong furrowed his brow and said, "Yes, I don't know why his fate has changed suddenly either. It seems as if a powerful immortal with boundless abilities has reversed his destiny."
Yu Ji displayed a perplexed look and asked, "Should we still grant him our great law?"
Master Zhu Rong smiled slightly, "Of course we should. Otherwise, who will inherit our own supreme cultivation methods from us?"
As he said this, his face revealed a sense of curiosity, "I am quite interested in knowing what great cultivation method he has that can defeat the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian."
Yu Ji said, "There have been rumors that Chen Pu has acquired the method of Buddhist Zhuang Liu Jin Shen. Could this be the way he can break through the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian?"
"Impossible," Master Zhu Rong shook his head. "The Six-foot Golden Body is the ultimate ability of Buddhism, its power is undeniable. However, Chen Pu's cultivation is too low. Even if he gathers all his strength to manifest the Six-foot Golden Body, it is impossible for him to withstand the overwhelming power of the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian."
As Master Zhu Rong spoke, Yu Ji furrowed his brow, seeming to be curious about how Chen Yun would break through the starry sword energy.
...
Jin Quan Mountain.
Xie Ziran stands at the top of the mountain, gazing far into the distance towards the boundless sea in the northwest.
She wore white clothing fluttering in the wind, and her face showed no signs of joy or anger.
"I have calculated that there is a great disaster in Chongyong's fate, and it should fall on today. If anything goes wrong, there is a great possibility of being dispersed into dust."
Xie Ziran's thoughts wandered, "Speaking of which, he can be considered half of my disciple. If he really encounters trouble today, should I interfere and save him?"
Just as she was thinking, a crisp female voice came from behind, "Master, what is the reason for summoning me?"
Xie Ziran didn't turn her head, reached out and touched her palm with one hand, and an jade hairpin appeared in her hand. "Take this from your teacher and go to the seaside of the East Sea. If you encounter Chen Chongyong in trouble, use this to save his life."
A woman dressed in emerald clothing, with a beautiful appearance, respectfully approached to receive the jade hairpin. Her face showed a look of surprise, "Master, what kind of disaster will Chen Pu encounter? That's why you have taken out the Tianhe Jade Hairpin? If one fully infuses its power, it can carve out a Milky Way in the universe. It is an extremely rare treasure."
"My intention is not to use this treasure to aid Chen Chongyong," Xie Ziran said with a completely unflappable tone. "The cultivation method I practice is the great art of refining one's physical form, which does not rely on external objects. Therefore, I have no possessions other than this jade hairpin, and the divine sword buried at the bottom of the mountain. The power of that sword is particularly terrifying, and it is not suitable for aiding Chen Chongyong. That's why I am asking you to take this jade hairpin to the East Sea to save his life."
The woman in emerald clothes said, "Yes."
Suddenly, Xie Ziran thought of something, "If the Purple and Blue twin swords haven't emerged yet, you don't need to interfere. Even if Chen Chongyong is beaten to death by someone else, you should not interfere at all."
The woman in emerald clothing said again, "Disciple, I will strictly comply with my master's orders."
Xie Ziran didn't say anything else and waved his hand.
The woman in emerald clothing slowly retreated, transforming into a streak of firelight, speeding towards the seaside of the East Sea.
...
These outsiders still value Chen Yun's life and safety so much, let alone the family members who are always watching.
He Xingu, Cao Guoniu, Han Xiangzi, these disciples or great-grandsons of Zhuangli Quan, have variously sent their disciples to carry treasure items and prepare for rescue.
In addition, there are also close friends of Zhongli Quan and Lü Dongbin, such as Tieguai Li, Zhang Guolao, Lan Caihe, as well as the Zhang Tianshi line from Longhu Mountain, all of whom are ready.
Of course, Chen Yun's sacred friends, who consider him as their second brother, the Jiajiang Erlang, would naturally not sit idly by.
Countless cultivators at least at the realm of masters, carrying powerful treasures, are heading towards the seaside of the East Sea.
For example, the line of Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain has sent Chen Yun's closest friend, Zhang Jiwen, to the seaside of the East Sea with the eight-precious Guanyin Lute, to lend assistance.
The Jiajiang Erlang also sent a child who had not yet achieved enlightenment in his household to carry a slingshot and silver balls out.
These deities have all calculated that Chen Yun will suffer a great calamity.
With Zhongli Quan now deeply ensnared in the heavenly prison, they naturally want to lend a hand to Chen Yun, protecting his life and safety.
In contrast, Lv Dongbin, Chen Yun's senior brother, didn't act as usual.
The situation was the same on Penglai Mountain, East King of Penglai, who seemed unwilling to intervene.
Bei Qi Mountain.
The Jinyong respectfully asked, "Master, what should we do if Master Chen is in danger?"
Lü Dongbin, who was immersed in reading Daoist scriptures, had a smile appear on his face, "Calamity? What calamity? Just a group of treasure-bringing children."
The Jinyong was bewildered, "Ah? Treasure-bringing children? Master, what do you mean?"
Lü Dongbin's smile became even more brilliant, "By using your cultivation, you can look towards the East Sea and know about it."
The Jinyong and Yin Nu exchanged glances and were no longer convinced.
Both of them used their cultivation to enhance their eyesight and looked towards the East Sea.
Penglai Wonderland.
East King of Penglai, Wang Xianfu, sat on a Fenghuo Tuān, pondering the way of heaven and humans.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked towards the sea area not far away, smiling in embarrassment, "Chongyong this little fellow has really good fortune. The second Tao Qi is about to manifest, and he can also get a handy weapon. Why didn't I have such good fortune when I was at the beginning of my cultivation path?"
...
The seaside of the East Sea.
The void where the swirling galaxy vortex is rapidly rotating.
A colossal, boundless starry sword energy, like splitting the heavens and earth, crashes down from the sky with all its might!
In the clouds, Shen Xiu, who was about to wield the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian, a cruel smile appeared on her face as she said, "Little thief, last time you had the Jiuzi Huanshen Cao and managed to survive by luck. This time, see how you can withstand it!"
In Shen Xiu's rigid impression, the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian was definitely enough to kill Chen Yun in one blow.
After all, once this sword is unleashed, it will lock the opponent's "soul" in place, making it impossible for any spell to be cast.
Furthermore, with the immense power of the Zhou Tian Xing Yao Jian, even a true immortal who has just achieved enlightenment would have to avoid its blade.
She doesn't think Chen Yun has any ability to save himself in such a situation.
However, as the starry sword energy, like a pillar of heaven, crashed down mercilessly, one after another.
Suddenly, another Chen Yun jumped out from the side of the "Chen Yun" who was struggling below.
This Chen Yun is almost exactly the same in terms of clothing and appearance as the previous "Chen Yun."
The only difference is that the later Chen Yun holds a branch emitting seven colors of light in his hand.
"Hmm? What's going on?" Shen Xiu was taken aback, "Why are there two Chen Yuns?"
For some unknown reason, she couldn't help but feel a sense of impending doom in her heart!
