Chapter 178: Chapter 116: Sweeping All Before Him (Part 2)

With the final words, a hand transformed behind, becoming a massive, solid form. Holding the Nine-Ring Scepter, it gently touched Lin Xiaoxi’s head, immediately awakening her from confusion, then vanished without a trace.

Everything was over, not to mention that after the four women returned to their bodies, they all underwent painful struggles, with demonic qi and blood energy surging forth.

Seeing Chu Xuan slowly open his clear eyes within the crystal of the celestial demon, his entire body like crystal, inside and out translucent, pure and flawless, everyone was utterly stunned.

After a long while, someone spoke, "Isn’t this a law aspect?! Did Chu Xuan comprehend the law aspect?"

It’s important to know that the law aspect is something that at least a fourth-realm cultivator can comprehend and cultivate, and it’s unheard of for anyone to achieve it at the third realm.

Bai Xiaosheng stood up excitedly and said, "This is undoubtedly the first, right? With the body of a third realm to comprehend the fourth realm law aspect, then sweeping and eliminating the final four contenders!"

"This performance, one can only say it is indeed worthy of being an Innate Dao Body, worthy of being the closed-door disciple of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace’s head."

It was only then that the guests realized and echoed their agreement, this was simply a crushing first, flawless in every way.

Du Liangyou, always pretending to be inscrutable, but in reality very insecure, at this moment wanted nothing more than to put his hands on his hips and laugh heartily at the sky.

"See! Didn’t I say? Isn’t my brother the one leading the way, comprehending deeper levels, and laughing last?"

People around were now embarrassed, having no choice but to nod in agreement, admitting they had misjudged before.

In the midst of the enthusiastic discussions, someone else asked in confusion, "Wait, isn’t Chu Xuan a disciple of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace? How did he comprehend a Buddhist law aspect?"

De Nii of Water Moon Temple had long since stood up, looking at Chu Xuan, who was seated on the lecture platform, with surprise and joy, she clasped her hands together and said:

"Namo Great Compassionate and Great Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, this child has a connection with our Buddhist sect."

Su Yu Zhenren didn’t like hearing this, she immediately stood up, and said from afar, "Chu Xuan is a disciple of our Daoist Palace, there’s no need for you, the venerable De Nii, to be concerned."

De Nii only smiled slightly, not angered.

Meanwhile, the stunning performance of Chu Xuan on the lecture platform continued to ferment.

Outside the valley, countless cultivators saw Chu Xuan sweep through everything with the four major hand seals, exclaiming in astonishment, followed by praise and admiration.

Who could have imagined that Chu Xuan, who had been at a disadvantage before, would unexpectedly turn the game around in such a manner?

Those cultivators who had bet on Chu Xuan winning experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, and at this moment, they congratulated each other.

Zhao Daniu was so happy he wiped his eyes, "See, see, I told you my brother wouldn’t let me down."

Others jeered, "Come on, didn’t you just clamor about borrowing a knife to cut your hand?"

Zhao Daniu blushed, "How can you slander someone out of thin air..."

Inside the valley, the two maidens of the Hehuan Sect were discussing something quietly, looking at Chu Xuan with a gaze... how to put it, like two wolves hungry for three days and nights, staring at a delicious little lamb, full of eagerness and greed.

Pei Shurou, who hadn’t paid much attention to events at this Baihua Banquet, seemed even more melancholic after previous unforeseen changes, simply wanting to leave as soon as possible.

But at this moment, she looked at the young man seated on the lecture platform, a little confused.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity, yet it was a completely unfamiliar face, and it was impossible for them to have had any interaction.

Pei Shurou shook her head, lowering her gaze, immersing herself back into her world.

Lady Baihua, having witnessed such an impressive display from Chu Xuan, was also taken by surprise. She nodded to herself, indeed worthy of being the disciple favored by the Primordial Monarch. Among the younger generation, he certainly belonged to the most outstanding.

The little snow ferret hopped around in joy, delighted by Chu Xuan’s performance.

Lady Baihua cautiously glanced at the Primordial Monarch, trying to discern whether she had truly severed ties with Chu Xuan or was outwardly cold while still caring for her disciple.

Unexpectedly, the Primordial Monarch was not looking at Chu Xuan, but slightly raised her head to gaze at the sky, expressionless, saying, "It’s coming."

Coming? What’s coming? Lady Baihua couldn’t figure it out no matter how much she pondered.

Just then, the highly cultivated elders suddenly turned pale, looking up at the sky. Following them, Lady Baihua and others with less cultivation also suddenly felt a strong demonic qi emerging in the void.

Those in the first three realms had no sense of it at all, and only upon seeing others looking up did they puzzledly follow suit.

Then they saw an astonishing scene, a dark vortex appeared in the sky, from which surged a roaring demonic qi, rushing directly toward Chu Xuan!

In this process, no one attempted to intervene or protect Chu Xuan, as this calamity was one he had to face alone.

De Nii wore a face of sorrow, softly chanting sutras.

Su Yu’s expression was very unpleasant, "Celestial Demon blocking the path?!"

Typically, when cultivators are in the first three realms, they usually encounter heart demons, which are demonic barriers arising from one’s own obsessions.

It’s not until the middle three realms that one might possibly be disturbed by an Outer Celestial Demon during cultivation; moreover, the probability is very low, generally occurring when one initially becomes possessed, in extremely dire circumstances, then only does a Celestial Demon take advantage.

Not until the latter three realms could one possibly engage a Celestial Demon heart calamity while breaking through crucial barriers.

Historically, it was unheard of for someone in the third realm to encounter a Celestial Demon blocking the path. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

As the demonic qi entered Chu Xuan’s body, it vanished, and the Primordial Monarch Taixu calmly stated, "With a body of the third realm, having comprehended the fourth realm law aspect, he has already transcended the cultivation rules of this world."
