Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 891 It’s Willow God

Strangely enough, both the fixed and non-fixed draws in the fifth ring require two people.

As long as Xiaoyi wakes up, they can use the fixed rewards and improve their strength.

Sure enough, the system is still considerate.

…………

After a long time, Chen Xiaojun finally came back to his senses from this strange experience.

At this moment, he just felt refreshed all over, as if he was washed by an invisible force. The true energy in his body became more refined and strong, and his control over strength also rose to a whole new level.

He could clearly feel the flow of every strand of true energy in his body, all dancing under his will.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed a force breaking open the solid portal of the Upper Soul Nest. The Upper Soul Nest was actually opened at this moment!

Then, within a few breaths, an indescribable mysterious inspiration quietly welled up in his heart, and all things around him were gently embraced by an invisible force. The life and death of all things flowed between his thoughts without omission.

Flowers bloom and fall, birds sing and insects chirp, mountains and rivers are silent, trees sway gently, all these subtle changes slowly unfold before your eyes like a picture scroll, so clear that they seem within reach.

Even though I could see everything around me with that perception in the past, at this moment there has been a qualitative leap. It is no longer just clarity in vision or perception, but a thoroughness and control in the depths of my mind.

In the past, he could see through appearances and understand his surroundings; now, this ability has been elevated to the level of a single thought.

In his eyes, the surroundings turned into black and white, and everything responded and complied.

Not only is it limited to what the naked eye can see, even the subtle energy floating in the cracks of space cannot escape his capture and control. It is as if the whole world is performing a silent symphony under the command of his will.

This feeling was both wonderful and shocking, as if the energy surging in his body resonated with every inch of space outside, interweaving and echoing each other.

At this moment, he seemed to have merged into one with the world and became the controller of a miniature universe.

This is the realm, the realm of yin and yang that he realized through the principles of yin and yang!
Chen Cong, Chen Yu, Qing Lao, Tian Lao, Qing Xing and others who had already woken up exchanged shocked looks with each other.

Their faces all revealed an expression of disbelief.

Tian Lao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Look, the energy he manipulates seems to be very different from ordinary energy."

"They are purer, more cohesive and powerful, and contain some kind of supreme truth between heaven and earth."

"This seems to be of the same mysterious nature as what we have seen before."

Elder Qing stroked his beard gently, his eyes gleaming with admiration and expectation. He slowly said, "This field is extraordinary. Xiaojun's future is definitely limitless."

Others nodded in agreement.

They know very well that once they master the power of the domain, it means they have entered a new realm of soul master, and the future path will become broader and brighter.

It is indeed an unprecedented miracle that a Soul King can comprehend a domain.

At least, although Qing Lao, Tian Lao and others possess a pseudo-domain formed by the root system, they have not truly grasped the true meaning of the domain.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He said in a deep voice: "Looking at this situation, it must be the Yin-Yang realm."

Chen Cong couldn't help but nod his head: "It is certain. This Yin-Yang Flower and the vast Yin-Yang Avenue before must be the opportunity for him to sublimate into the Yin-Yang realm."

Although they knew that Tang San in later generations also possessed a domain during his Soul King period, that was a natural domain brought by the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline.

But it is not the case with Chen Xiaojun. His domain was obtained entirely through his own efforts and talent.

This rarity makes people admire it.

At this moment, Chen Xiaojun was completely immersed in the wonders of the Yin-Yang realm.

He felt the resonance and integration of the energy in his body with the outside world, and reached an indescribable tacit understanding with this world.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiaojun's upper soul nest suddenly stirred up violent waves, and the wall of space was torn into cracks by the invisible force.

At this moment, his sea of ​​consciousness and the wall of space expanded outward in the blink of an eye. This contradictory phenomenon made him feel indescribable surprise.

What followed was a vast and boundless spiritual power, gushing out from the upper soul nest like a mountain torrent.

It exploded in his mind, making him feel dizzy and his vision go dark. Finally, he fell into a deep coma.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly gathered around and checked on Xiaoyi and Chen Xiaojun with anxious looks.

Qingxing looked at Xiaoyi first.

Xiaoyi's body has fully recovered, and she is glowing with a restrained and radiant glow.

After being carefully carved by the Fountain of Life and the Yin-Yang Flower, every inch of her skin reveals a healthy luster. The medicinal properties and vitality are quietly accumulating in her body, waiting for the awakening of her owner, showing unprecedented life resilience and style.

Then, Qing Xing put her hand on Chen Xiaojun's pulse and input her soul power to detect it.

After a long time, Qing Xing spoke softly and slowly: "Xiao Yi's upper soul nest has been reopened, and the medicinal properties of the Yin Yang Flower have been gradually suppressed by her body. Just absorb it slowly."

"Fortunately, Shao Siming's divine power and the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass had been completely absorbed and adapted by her body, which allowed her to withstand the violent impact of this energy collision."

Hearing this, Elder Qing's brows relaxed slightly: "That's great. How long will it take to recover?"

Qing Xing said softly, "About a year or two."

Chen Cong asked with concern: "What about Xiaojun's situation?"

Qing Xing shook his head slightly. "As for him, it was because the black and red light cocoon broke into his upper soul nest. The energy was so strong that the upper soul nest could not bear it, so the wall cracked. But at the same time, it also broke through the constraints of the upper soul nest."

"As long as the wall crack is cured, he will be fine. Just don't use soul skills that consume a lot of mental energy during this period, especially domain skills, otherwise the injury will relapse."

"As for the black and red cocoon..."

She paused here, but everyone understood what she meant. Xiaoyi's situation was similar and she also needed a process of endurance and adaptation.

Qing Xing couldn't help but sigh: "What a lucky little guy."

Chen Yu asked in a low voice: "The wall crack disease should not be difficult to cure, right?"

Qing Xing stroked her hair and nodded, "Well, although this symptom is not common, it is not without precedent in history. I will treat him first, and Xiu Xin will take over the treatment after I return."

Chen Cong said gratefully: "That's great. Thank you, doctor, and thank you, Mr. Qingxing."

"Doctor" is Qing Xing's identity in the Qingteng clan, and "Sir" is Chen Cong's respectful title for her.

After saying that, Qing Xing raised her hands lightly, and a stream of green and white energy slowly injected into Chen Xiaojun's body, especially the damaged upper soul nest.

Afterwards, everyone properly settled Xiaoyi and carefully carried Chen Xiaojun away from the sacred cave.

Before leaving, Qing Lao cast a look at Tian Lao, who nodded slightly and waved his sleeves lightly. In an instant, the cracks were covered with emerald green vines, reinforcing them.

As the group walked out of the cave, they suddenly saw a graceful figure before their eyes. She had her back to them and was gazing up at the bright moon.

The sound of footsteps disturbed the silence. She slowly turned around, revealing a gorgeous and exquisite face before everyone.

Qing Xing whispered in surprise: "Sister Yanyue, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Saint King Yanyue, one of the Nine Saint Kings and a staunch ally of the Qingteng clan.

Yan Yue responded calmly: "My clone met with an accident here, so of course I came to take a look."

Tian Lao asked in confusion: "What clone? We have never seen your clone come here."

Yan Yue raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "Really?"

Tian Lao hurriedly explained: "Sister Yanyue, how could we not recognize your clone? You must have made a mistake."

At this moment, Qing Lao had a flash of inspiration, "I did come here before, could it be..."

Yanyue nodded gently, "Xukong is indeed my clone. She must have fallen."

Tian Lao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this: "How could Xukong be your clone? This is clearly..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise, especially Qing Lao, Tian Lao and Qing Xing. They had indeed never seen Xukong's true appearance, and her face was always shrouded in a layer of illusion.

I even always thought it was a male.

What's more crucial is that the Void Divine Vine has always been a loner and only has a slight friendship with the Phoenix Immortal Saint King.

However, Fengxian and Yanyue are well-known enemies.

If there is a deep friendship between these two mortal enemies, then what is hidden behind this is really terrifying to think about.

Qing Lao asked in confusion: "What is going on? How can the void be your clone? Its attributes are completely different from yours?"

Yan Yue did not answer directly, but asked calmly: "Has he really fallen?"

Several people looked at each other, and Qing Lao nodded slightly awkwardly.

If all this is true, then their Saint actually killed Yanyue's clone and used it as her second martial spirit. This is hard to talk about no matter what.

Although all this happened without Xiaoyi's knowledge, Xukong was indeed dead.

Qing Lao said sincerely: "Yan Yue, we hope to understand the truth of the matter."

Yanyue pursed her lips gently and slowly recounted the past: "As you all know, Fengxian and I have never gotten along. I don't know how many times we have fought each other in the past. Hundreds of years ago, Fengxian and I were both only at the True King level. No, she was still called Fengwu at that time."

As Yanyue narrates, a forgotten past gradually unfolds before everyone's eyes...

At the beginning, Yanyue and Fengwu were evenly matched in a fierce battle. The battle was so intense that the space around them could not bear it and suddenly a crack appeared.

At this moment, a willow branch covered with crystal dew fell squarely onto the battlefield.

The moment they saw the willow branch, a strong desire to devour it surged in their hearts.

Obviously, this willow branch is no ordinary thing and is of great benefit to them.

Naturally, neither of them wanted to let go, but they could do nothing to the other.

In the end, Yanyue took advantage of a slight advantage and grabbed the willow branch, while Fengwu grabbed the drop of precious dew.

Tian Lao asked curiously: "What happened next?"

Yan Yue sighed softly and continued, "I tried to graft that willow branch onto myself and slowly absorb its power."

"However, the huge amount of energy and high quality contained in the willow branch far exceeded my expectations."

"Although I gained a lot of energy from it and my cultivation level has improved, it also cost me a lot of energy."

Qing Lao suddenly realized: "So you often fall into a deep sleep just to digest this willow branch?"

Yanyue nodded slightly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "However, as time went by, the willow branch seemed to have nurtured a new consciousness, especially when I was asleep, it quietly developed."

"When I noticed it, its consciousness was already quite strong, and it could even mobilize the power of the willow branches more freely than I could."

"I can't do anything about it, and it even fights back at me from time to time."

"In order to avoid being eroded by it, I had no choice but to cut off the willow branches myself."

Yanyue said softly: "After the willow branch left my body, perhaps due to the infection of my breath, it gradually transformed and turned into a willow vine full of vitality." "As for the power of space, it should be inherent in the willow branch itself."

"When we parted, it told me that the cause and effect between us had been resolved and it would not seek revenge on me anymore."

"From now on, we will be well and not disturb each other."

Elder Qing understood, but he was more concerned about another thing, so he asked, "You mentioned that the willow branch has extraordinary power, so what is its cultivation level?"

Yan Yue frowned slightly and replied, "Although I was together with it for a period of time, we eventually separated."

"You also know how powerful her spatial force is. She tried her best to hide her perception from me. My perception of it also became unclear."

"And that Willow Vine, after losing most of its power, still has extraordinary potential."

“At this moment, I’m afraid he has already approached the Saint King realm, or has already broken through to the Saint King realm.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Lao couldn't help but blame him, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Yanyue smiled bitterly and said, "Where did this come from?"

Qing Laotian savored the meaning of this carefully. Firstly, Yanyue had indeed not accurately estimated the cultivation level of the Void Divine Vine;
Secondly, even if she told them everything, with the knowledge of Qing Lao and the others, they might not easily believe such a bizarre thing;
Thirdly, the Void Divine Vine and Fengxian have a close relationship, and Yanyue will have difficulty proving her innocence, which may hurt the friendship between the allies.

Fourthly, Qing Lao and Tian Lao are already wary of the Void Divine Vine, and their attitude will not change much whether they say it or not.

Tian Lao pressed on and asked, "So, why did she end up in Feng Xian's place?"

Yanyue shook her head slightly, her eyes revealing a mysterious and profound look: "She is looking for Fengwu, perhaps because of some other karma. After all, Lu Shui was obtained by Fengxian, and she seems to attach great importance to the so-called karma."

Qing Xing raised her beautiful eyes and asked, "What about Feng Wu?"

Yanyue understood and nodded slightly: "The reason why she was able to keep up with me is all thanks to the help of that drop of dew."

"After all, the power of willow branches is far greater than that of dew. But because I broke the willow branches myself, I was hurt a little, so the gap between us has not widened."

Qing Lao pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "So, her name change to Fengxian, could it be related to that drop of dew?"

Yan Yue nodded again to confirm: "I think so. After all, she changed her name not long after she obtained Lu Shui."

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted, breaking the original silence: "Senior Yanyue, may I have the honor to see the true appearance of the willow branch and the Void Divine Vine?"

The person who spoke was Chen Xiaojun. He had just woken up in the middle of their conversation and felt dizzy and in unbearable pain.

However, this extremely fantastic story moved his heart and he couldn't help but ask.

Although Yanyue didn't understand why, she still used her soul power to transform into the shapes of willow branches and the Void Divine Vine.

Her true form is the Moon-Covering Illusion Vine, which is famous for its illusionary technique, so the shapes she creates are so lifelike.

Although the willow branch did not show anything extraordinary, Chen Xiaojun's heart trembled violently when he saw its appearance.

Although her appearance was about four or five percent similar to Yan Yue's, her temperament was completely different, and she was even more outstanding.

The lips are bright red, the teeth are white, the eyes are bright and charming, the cheeks are graceful and charming, the demeanor is calm and relaxed.

The words "unparalleled beauty" are not enough to describe her.

However, Chen Xiaojun is now somewhat immune to celebrities, but this Void Divine Vine still gave him a great shock.

Because he never expected that this was the "Willow God" next door.

Xiaoyi’s second martial soul is actually the Willow God!
The Willow God has experienced nirvana several times, and perhaps these are the tiny branches left over after its body was destroyed one of the times.

After all, Willow God is not extremely powerful in every life.

………………

His thoughts slowly returned to reality, and Chen Xiaojun said, "Second Uncle, the Seventh and Eighth Brothers have all reached level 40, as well as Wuneng and the others. They want to invite me to go out with Teacher Zhang and the others to hunt soul beasts."

Chen Cong glanced at him lightly and asked calmly, "What do you think?"

Chen Xiaojun chuckled and replied obediently: "Second Uncle, of course I will follow your arrangements in everything."

Chen Cong chuckled, "Haha, if you don't want to go, why bother asking me? You should have declined long ago. If you want to go, just say so."

How could Chen Cong not see Chen Xiaojun's little thoughts? He was just idle for a long time and wanted to go out and stretch his muscles.

Over the past three years, or in other words, since the awakening of his martial soul, Chen Xiaojun has always been closely protected by his family. Except for the assassination incident in which he was not well protected, Chen Xiaojun has almost never left his sight.

Chen Cong hesitated for a moment and said, "Go ahead. After all, you are already a Soul King. If I keep trapping you here, I'm afraid you will rust away."

Chen Xiaojun was delighted when he heard this, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

Chen Cong changed the subject and said, "However, you should also be more careful. The spirit master world has been turbulent in recent years. It is not peaceful."

Chen Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, then nodded to show that he understood.

But he seemed to have thought of something and hesitated to speak.

Chen Cong saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Just ask if you have anything to ask."

Chen Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "If my guess is correct, Grandpa Shihua should have gone to the Hua family, right?"

Chen Cong was not surprised that Chen Xiaojun could guess Chen Shihua's whereabouts, but he still asked, "Well, what do you want to say?"

Chen Xiaojun took a deep breath and asked, "Has there been any result in the incident of Master Zhong Chunhua being stabbed?"

Chen Cong looked at him intently and said slowly, "Well, according to multiple investigations, it has been basically confirmed that it was the Scarlet Church that did it."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojun had a rough idea in his mind.

He had already guessed some things in his mind.

So he asked again: "Is there any other relevant information?"

Chen Cong laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you are really smart. Well, let me tell you, the Scarlet Church wanted to attack not only your Grandpa Chunhua, but also your grandfather."

"But fortunately, your grandpa and his family were taken care of by us in time, so they escaped the disaster."

Chen Xiaojun nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "So, the real target of the Scarlet Church is actually the Medical Alliance?"

Chen Cong answered affirmatively: "Yes, only they dare to attack the people of the Medical Alliance so recklessly."

Chen Xiaojun touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I understand."

Then, Chen Xiaojun chuckled and said, "I heard that it was Grandma Chu Ran who came yesterday?"

Chen Cong rolled his eyes at him and said calmly, "She said that Chang'an City has been developing rapidly in recent years, and the royal family intends to promote her to the governor of Fasno Province."

Chen Xiaojun slapped his thigh and said, "I got promoted, that's great!"

Chen Cong glanced at him sideways and didn't say anything.

Chen Xiaojun reacted: "Oh, a promotion in name only but a demotion in reality, you want to pick peaches?"

Chen Cong snorted coldly: "It's not the same as before. How can Chu Ran be so easy to manipulate? She has a good foundation in the royal family and the court."

"Plus, Chu Xin has her account banned, Brother Zuo also supports her, and she is also taken care of by the royal patron saint."

"At worst, we still have our Chen family and Poseidon Island. Want to get promoted in public but demoted in secret? No way!"

…………

At the same time, deep in the magnificent city lord's mansion, Xue Churan sat alone in the elegant study, her brows furrowed, deeply immersed in thoughts about the royal family's decision about her appointment.

She knew very well that this appointment was not a simple change of position, but a complex political game with undercurrents.

After all, she, Xue Chuxin, Zuo Tinggang and others belong to the same side branch, and every step on the chessboard of power must be taken carefully.

In recent years, the development momentum of Chang'an City and the five southern counties has been astonishingly rapid.

Whether it is the booming economy, the improvement of people's livelihood, or the far-reaching reputation, it has far surpassed the provincial capital of Marinford and continues to rise.

The rise of Chang'an City was like a strong east wind that blew across the entire province, causing the original governor to rise rapidly and be promoted.

The same is true for the Chang'an Military Region. With the upgrading of equipment and greatly improved treatment, the former Fifth Military Region has now ranked among the top three and has become very famous.

Thanks to Xue Chuxin who is now a Titled Douluo and sits firmly at the head of the Chang'an Military Region, with his power in all quarters, no one dares to raise any objection.

Because of this, those greedy eyes turned to her.

In recent years, they have had close contacts with the Chen family, which may have caused dissatisfaction among some people, and some people have even begun to covet the fat piece of meat of Chang'an City.

But promoting her to the position of governor-general, and of this province, on the surface, there really is no trace of malice in this.

Therefore, she must find the key to breaking the deadlock in this contest and formulate the most sensible and clever strategy to ensure that she can remain invincible in this game of power.

………………

Chen Xiaojun asked tentatively, "Is it because we asked Grandma Chu Ran to expand the sacrificial activities to the Big Dipper last year?"

Chen Cong frowned: "Well, I'm not sure about this."

Chen Xiaojun scratched his head and said, "So what Grandma Chu Ran and you mean is that if she really takes over the position of governor, Chang'an City will probably have to replace someone, or even insert someone you don't like, which will affect the development momentum of Chang'an City and our plans?"

Chen Cong pondered and said, "I do have this concern, but I am not completely sure of the other party's intentions."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes lit up: "This is easy to do! Let Grandma Chu Ran take over the position of Governor first, and then move the Governor's Mansion back to Chang'an City."

"Chang'an City used to be the provincial capital of Fasno, so it's not unprecedented for him to serve as the city lord at the same time."

"In this way, no matter how much the other party pays to capture the Lord of Chang'an, we can still control them no matter how many people they have."

As his thoughts turned, Chen Cong gently stroked the short beard on his chin and said slowly: "This plan is quite clever. It can not only maintain Chu Ran's power, but also ensure that the prosperity of Chang'an City is not affected."

"But it may not be easy to implement."

Chen Xiaojun raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth: "What big thing doesn't come with challenges? As long as the benefits are tempting enough, helpers will come in droves."

"What's more, Grandma Chu Ran has a good foundation in the court and has someone to back her up. If she agrees, why worry about not finding supporters?"

Chen Cong nodded slightly, with a hint of recognition in his eyes: "You are right, but this matter still needs to be carefully considered and not act rashly."

"I'll go and test Chu Ran's opinion on this first."

After the two of them finished talking, Chen Xiaojun stood up and said goodbye, leaving the study with brisk steps.

Chen Cong was left alone, continuing to pace in the study, carefully considering every aspect of the plan.

He knew very well that if this move was made skillfully, it would not only secure Chu Ran's promotion to a higher rank, making him a true provincial governor and improving his status in the court, but would also help him gain more rights and prestige for the Chen family and Poseidon Island.

But at the same time, if you fail, it may trigger a series of unpredictable consequences and even drag the entire family into a political storm.

Therefore, he must proceed step by step and ensure that each step is steady and precise.

Only in this way can we stay sober in the vortex of power and safeguard the plans of the Chen family and Poseidon Island.
