"Why can't I?!"

Between heaven and earth, a faint, majestic voice suddenly resounded. As the aura enveloped everything, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees instantly, as if plunging into an ice cellar.

Ge Mu, the Barbarian God, and Wu Feng, the Barbarian God, exchanged glances, a subtle exchange of intentions flashing in their eyes.

Their choice was not wrong. The chaos in the Central Plains had ended, but the chaos of the entire human world had begun. Without a terrestrial immortal great power (地仙大能) to guard it, they could not guarantee the peace of the grasslands.

The Buddha sensed this powerful aura, and his pupils shrank instantly. He did not expect that there would be a terrestrial immortal-level powerhouse (地仙层次的大能) sitting in the grasslands!

Judging by his aura, he was not weaker than him at all.

"May I ask, who is this benefactor (施主)?"

The Buddha maintained his composure on the surface and asked softly, looking at the void to his left front.

The surrounding void suddenly began to twist, solidifying into a portal several feet in size. A figure wearing a dark golden robe gradually solidified, with deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge.

His long hair was tied together in what resembled small braids. His whole being exuded a fierce aura. He stared at the young monk below and said in a deep voice:

"I, Khan, am Huang Ji!"

"Heavenly Khan (天可汗)!"

"Heavenly Khan (天可汗)!"

Wu Feng, the Barbarian God, and the other quickly bowed, giving him ample respect.

"So it is Benefactor Huang Ji. This humble monk has long heard of you." The influence of Buddhism extended throughout the world. Even though it was very weak on the grasslands, they still knew some of the situation.

In his memory, he vaguely remembered such a figure.

"You have heard of me?"

"A descendant of the Xiongnu royal court, the most magnificent eagle on the grasslands. This humble monk has naturally heard of you." Facing a strong person of the same realm, whose depth he could not fathom, the Buddha would naturally give him courtesy.

"Now that you know, do you think I, Khan, can deal with this Chen Yuan?" Huang Ji stared directly at the Buddha, a faint sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth, seemingly somewhat contemptuous.

A terrestrial immortal great power (地仙大能) was an absolute existence in the human world, no matter the era.

Each one was extremely terrifying.

The Buddha frowned slightly, and remained silent for a moment:

"Benefactor Huang Ji is strong, but still not enough?"

"Do you think I, Khan, can't deal with a Human Immortal (人仙)?" Huang Ji frowned, already showing some anger, believing that the bald donkey in front of him was looking down on him.

He felt very unhappy in his heart.

"Chen Yuan is not an ordinary Human Immortal (人仙). Has Benefactor Huang Ji ever heard of the God of War (武神)?" The Buddha raised his head, looking directly at the other party.

"God of War (武神)? Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖)?"

Huang Ji frowned. The so-called God of War (武神) he knew referred to this person. He had a very deep impression of him. It was he who suppressed the once invincible Xiongnu royal court.

He caused the grasslands to be unable to raise their heads for nearly a thousand years.

"Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖) is the God of War (武神), but the God of War (武神) is not just Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖)."

"Humph, stop speaking ambiguously and explain yourself clearly."

"The God of War (武神) is a title, and also a realm. That is, both the primordial spirit and the physical body enter the sixth realm. Thus, they are called the God of War (武神)." The Buddha pondered for a moment, and explained it to Huang Ji.

"The sixth realm of the physical body? Isn't that the cultivation of the demon race (妖族)?"

"It is."

"How strong is it?"

"Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖) is a precedent." The Buddha looked at the ignorant Huang Ji with a non-smiling expression.

"Are you saying that Chen Yuan can now be compared to Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖)?"

Huang Ji frowned tightly, somewhat disbelieving.

Who was Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖)?

Even if he was confident that he could now run rampant in the human world and rebuild the Xiongnu royal court, he was not so arrogant as to compare himself to that person.

"Not now, but it's hard to say in the future. With Chen Yuan's current strength, even if we haven't fought yet, this humble monk can be sure that his strength is no less than yours or mine."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I, Khan, have cultivated for hundreds of years to reach my current realm. He has only cultivated for a few short years, why should he be compared to me?"

Huang Ji roared angrily, the surrounding void gradually twisting with the vibration of his aura.

"Whether it is or isn't, Benefactor Huang Ji can try it and see. But this humble monk hopes that Benefactor Huang Ji can understand that there is only one chance. If you lose, Chen Yuan will not hold back.

Not long ago, there was a battle between immortals in the Central Plains. The two Barbarian Gods (蛮神) must have heard of it, but you don't know the specifics. In that battle, Chen Yuan displayed great divine power and fought against a terrestrial immortal (地仙).

He even blocked the Immortal Domain (仙域). Such combat power is completely no less than yours or mine. If you still underestimate this person, the grasslands will inevitably suffer disaster in the future." The Buddha shook his head and sighed with a calm expression.

It seemed as if he was saying that you few were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

The faces of Wu Feng, the Barbarian God, and Ge Mu, the Barbarian God, were a little ugly. They did know about that battle, and they knew that it was terrifying, otherwise they would not have invited Huang Ji out.

They just didn't expect it to be so terrifying. Chen Yuan fought against a terrestrial immortal great power (地仙大能).

"Is this true?"

Huang Ji stared intently at the Buddha.

"A monk does not speak falsely. This humble monk can swear to the heavens. It is precisely because of that battle that this humble monk came to seek a joint effort from several Barbarian Gods (蛮神) to completely suppress Chen Yuan while there is still an opportunity.

Otherwise, in the future, not only Buddhism, but even the grasslands will suffer..."

Huang Ji did not immediately agree, but fell into deep thought. He did not believe Wu Feng and Ge Mu when they said Chen Yuan was terrible, because only he knew how great the gap between a terrestrial immortal (地仙) and a Human Immortal (人仙) was.

But when a genuine terrestrial immortal great power (地仙大能) said Chen Yuan was terrible, he had to believe it.

He was just arrogant, not truly clueless.

"If Benefactor Huang Ji doesn't believe it, wait for this humble monk to set up an ambush and lure Chen Yuan over. You will know how powerful he is with just one look. Moreover, his cultivation speed is extremely fast, even surpassing the former Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖).

Such a person must not be left alive. He is a great scourge to the human world."

The Buddha looked righteous and spoke sternly.

But Huang Ji scoffed at it:

"You just want benefits. I have no objection to taking action against this person, but I am tired of this attitude of you Buddhists. Everyone else is doing evil.

Only you Buddhists are saviors.

Humph!"

The Buddha remained unmoved, and was not angry at Huang Ji's attitude. Instead, he continued:

"Hehe, what does Benefactor Huang Ji think of this humble monk's proposal?"

"Alright, then I, Khan, will see how powerful this existence that you boast can be compared to Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖) is. At that time, I, Khan, will personally suppress him.

It can also be considered revenge for my grassland warriors."

"Good, Benefactor is very kind..." The Buddha smiled faintly, having more confidence in the upcoming battle.

He originally thought he could only win over two Barbarian Gods (蛮神) in the Human Immortal (人仙) realm. He never expected that there would be a terrestrial immortal great power (地仙大能). With their combined forces, he did not believe that Chen Yuan could turn the tide!

Heretics must be suppressed!

......

Bing Province, Xu Yang Prefecture.

On this day, in the silent sky above Xu Yang Prefecture, the heaven and earth vitality gradually began to gather, and the terrifying heaven and earth vitality gradually began to riot, gathering near the mountains, immediately attracting many martial artists to approach.

They thought that a secret realm was about to open, and they were excited.

For most martial artists, being able to obtain something from the secret realm would greatly benefit their future cultivation. After all, "Cultivating literature requires poverty, cultivating martial arts requires wealth."

Without resources, one cannot go far on the path of martial arts.

Only Chen Yuan could rely on the guidance of the Destiny Altar (气运祭坛) to find opportunities. Otherwise, those natural treasures would be of extremely high value, and even immortal sects could not afford them.

Inside the secret realm, Chen Yuan, after a period of cultivation, had basically reached his limit. The rich power of rules filled the entire secret realm.

The powerful aura pressed down, causing the void to twist.

When the aura reached its peak, the terrifying power of rules quickly began to shrink. At the same time, a powerful aura rapidly soared, sweeping across the void.

The rules gradually dissipated, and two flowers of rules suddenly appeared above Chen Yuan's head.

Mid-stage Human Immortal (人仙中期)!!!

Half a month of enlightenment directly caught up with the time it would take ordinary immortals (仙人) decades or even hundreds of years. The speed can be described as terrifying!!!

Moreover, most importantly, Chen Yuan's improvement was not just in the cultivation of his primordial spirit realm. His primordial spirit rules and physical body rules had merged, integrating into one.

The physical body rules had also reached the same realm as the primordial spirit rules.

This discovery was a great piece of good news for Chen Yuan. It could save him a lot of effort, saving him from having to cultivate one by one, as he had to do before the sixth realm.

Although his combat power increased, his cultivation speed was also slowed down a lot.

Opening his eyes, Chen Yuan's eyes flickered with a faint light, like a boundless starry sky, capable of containing everything in the world. Standing there, he was the center of the world.

The flowers of rules above his head gradually collapsed. Chen Yuan clenched his fists, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

His strength had increased again!

He used to be able to kill immortals (仙人) in the early stage of the terrestrial immortal (地仙) realm. Now... it would probably be no problem to kill those in the mid-stage of the terrestrial immortal (地仙) realm. He had taken a big step closer to being truly invincible in the human world!

Of course, as a price, a huge crack had now been left on the monument of heaven and earth spirit in front of him. The original rich power of Taoist charm had gradually weakened.

Although it had not been completely abandoned, it was basically useless to him.

It was still useful to the nascent soul (阳神) who had not yet comprehended the rules.

It could also be described as invaluable. Some nascent soul True Monarchs (阳神真君) were even willing to sell everything they owned to exchange for such a spirit monument.

"Huff..."

Chen Yuan exhaled a turbid breath and put the heaven and earth spirit monument into the Heavenly Book space, preparing to leave.

Now that the opportunity had been obtained, it was time to prepare for the next thing.

Destroy Buddhism and seize Destiny (气运)!

Lingshan (灵山) had repeatedly opposed Chen Yuan. Last time, when the Immortal Gate (仙门) was opened in advance, Buddhism was involved, almost severely injuring him. The previous grievances had also reached the time to be repaid.

Lingshan (灵山) had already chosen a path of death!

By taking down the Western Regions, Chen Yuan could rest easy on both the east and west sides, and free up his hands to deal with the northern barbarians and the demons in Southern Xinjiang. In the great war ten years later, he would be able to eliminate many risks.

He had to take action!

The resources in the secret realm were very vast. Relying on the space inside the Heavenly Book, it might not be able to contain everything. Moreover, this secret realm was also a rare treasure land.

The heaven and earth vitality was rich, suitable for cultivation.

Chen Yuan naturally could not casually abandon it. He was not so generous. He was going to go back and immediately have someone come and guard this secret realm.

As soon as he had the idea, he suddenly sensed some movement outside, and immediately chuckled.

He didn't need to return to the capital. He now had ready-made candidates.

......

......

Outside the secret realm, on the mountains, auras echoed each other, all displaying their presence, telling those who were blind to stay away. Among them, there were nearly ten Grandmaster of the Core Realm (丹境宗师) alone.

In terms of quantity, it was far more than before the chaotic world.

There were several reasons for this. One was that the chaotic world had arrived, and heroes of the common people were rising one after another, seizing resources, fighting to the death in cultivation, and breaking through realms very quickly.

Another reason was that many reclusive experts were leaving seclusion one after another, not only to protect their sects and families, but also to find ways to plunder things.

It can be said that for ordinary people, the chaotic world is a disaster, with thousands of miles without the crowing of a rooster, and bones exposed in the wild. But for martial artists of the Jianghu, this is undoubtedly the best era.

How many strong people were born during the period of melee a thousand years ago?

The Great Emperor Zhenwu, the Martial Emperor Lu Chengfeng, Emperor Taizu of Chu (楚太祖), and many other strong people, including the creators of the immortal sects, were all born in that glorious period without exception.

If Chen Yuan had not resolved the chaotic world as soon as possible, not to mention the threats from all sides, he would have definitely been able to turn the Central Plains into a huge Shura field, and create strong people who had been tempered by blood and fire.

Therefore, the strong people at this time appear to be more numerous than a few years ago.

"Everyone, have you ever heard of this secret realm?" A green-robed swordsman stood with his hands behind his back, stepping in the void, and asked the surrounding area with some curiosity.

"Who cares what secret realm it is? As long as there are good things, isn't that enough?"

"That's right, why bother getting to the bottom of it?"

"Hehe... Huangfu Ming, you are just so slow, without any masculinity. You want to open a secret realm and still ask so many questions. If you don't dare, get out of the way quickly."

A black-robed old man sneered.

"Old thing, are you courting death?" The green-robed swordsman frowned, and the sword aura around him gradually gathered, as if he was about to attack in the next moment.

"What, do you think my Mixed Origin Palace (混元殿) is afraid of you?"

"Right now, the most urgent task is to open the secret realm, not to argue here. If you attract those old monsters in the Transformation Yang (化阳) realm, none of you will be able to benefit."

A white-bearded old man tapped his cane lightly, causing the surroundings to quickly quiet down. The surrounding people looked at the old man with eyes full of apprehension.

No other reason, his strength was strong.

He was an existence from a hundred years ago, and had only come out of the mountains today. With one move, he reached the peak of the Heavenly Core (天丹) realm. If he was in the years before the chaotic world, he would definitely be able to cause some vibrations.

"Hehe, Elder Yang is right..."

"Makes sense..."

"What does Vice Envoy Feng think?" The white-bearded old man looked at a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and said with a smile.

The Great Jin Empire existed in name only, and the Sky Patrol Department (巡天司) naturally came to an end along with it. The Brocade-Clad Guard (锦衣卫) replaced it. Of course, only the name had changed, and many of the other things were inherited from the Sky Patrol Department (巡天司) of the Great Jin Empire.

"This envoy thinks that this matter... should be decided by my Brocade-Clad Guard (锦衣卫). What does Elder Yang think?" Envoy Feng turned his gaze with a blank expression. Even though his cultivation was only Solid Core (实丹), he was not afraid at all.

No other reason, the current imperial court was powerful!

The Prince of Yan pacified the world. Although he had not yet founded the country, it was undoubtedly the most prosperous period at this time. Whoever dared to cause trouble would have their entire family exterminated. A Grandmaster of the Heavenly Core (天丹宗师) was nothing to be afraid of.

What was there to fear?
