Chapter 292: The Underworld’s Plans, Changes in the Sun City
After completing the fusion of the Golden Light and the Earth Extreme Mountain, Chen An continued to fuse the Flowing Light Wings and the Black Fan.

Chen An formed seals with his hands, and the Yin-Yang Burning Sky Fire gradually rose from his palms again, transforming into a ball of blazing flames that enveloped the Flowing Wings and the Black Fan.

As the flames rose, the entire secret room was filled with a strange fluctuation of magical power.

Under Chen An's guidance, the Yin-Yang Burning Sky Fire slowly penetrated into the Flowing Wings and the Black Fan, and the two magic weapons began to undergo subtle changes.

The wind and thunder laws on the flowing wings and the wind laws in the black fan are intertwined and gradually merge together.

Chen An stared closely at the changes in the two treasures, constantly adjusting the temperature of the Yin-Yang Burning Sky Fire to ensure that the fusion process went smoothly.

As time went by, the boundary between the Streamer Wings and the Black Fan became increasingly blurred, and finally merged completely after a few days.

After the fusion was completed, the original Flowing Wings also underwent some changes. The original wings became brighter, with a light blue light flowing on them, like stars moving.

Not only that, black patterns also appeared on the edges of the Flowing Wings, which was caused by the Law of Wind being too powerful.

In this way, the two treasures were integrated.

It is worth mentioning that after being re-forged, although the power of Jinguan Tujishan has not decreased, the consumption is still not small. However, there is no defect of continuous consumption of mana for no reason when using it. This is an unexpected surprise.

Putting away the treasures in front of him, Chen An recalled the Ning Yuan Jue, which he had practiced several times before but with little success.

Before this, when Chen An practiced Ningyuan Jue, no matter how hard he tried, the growth of his mana was extremely limited, as if the technique itself was incompatible with him.

However, now that he had merged with his split soul and had the foundation of meditation, the originally stagnant cultivation process had undergone a drastic change.

As the technique was put into practice, the magic power in his body began to flow slowly, like a trickle of water flowing into the sea.

Every time he practices the Ning Yuan Jue technique, he can feel the subtle changes in the magic power in his body.

At first, the changes are so subtle that they are almost unnoticeable, but over time they add up to a huge difference.

The total amount of mana is growing steadily, and the quality is also constantly improving, becoming more pure and condensed. Unlike before, after the mana was increased a little, there would be no movement for a long time.

Although the growth still seems slow, it is steady and can be accumulated continuously. Given time, it is not impossible to increase the total amount of mana by three times.

After several days of seclusion and training, Chen An's strength has once again leapt to a higher level.

However, the Jinwu tribe's stubbornness made him realize that Daytime City was no longer safe.

But before that, he had one more thing to deal with.

He immediately ended this training and left the Sun City.

Spreading his newly upgraded Flowing Wings, Chen An quickly arrived at a remote place outside the Fiery Domain. This was where his soul had stayed before.

As soon as he stepped into the area, he sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air.

I saw a Mahayana monk from the underworld confronting Huo Wu. The monk was wearing a dark red robe, his face was gloomy, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Yan Jin surrounded Huo Wu and tried to persuade her: "My little beauty, have you thought it through? If you can practice dual cultivation with me, I will surely help you reach the state of perfect fusion sooner. If you perform well in the future, maybe I can even help you advance to the Mahayana stage."

Yan Jin looked at Huo Wu with his eyes shining. The reason why he appeared here was because he sensed the aura of someone breaking through to the Mahayana realm nearby not long ago, so he came here specifically to investigate.

Unexpectedly, they failed to find the cultivator who had broken through to the Mahayana stage, but unexpectedly discovered Huo Wu.

Looking at the fire dance in front of him, Yan Jin liked her very much. It was quite rare for him, a dark cultivator, to specialize in fire-attributed techniques. But today, he happened to meet this woman who also practiced fire-attributed techniques.

If I could practice dual cultivation with him and master that secret technique that I got by chance, my strength would surely improve by leaps and bounds.

Huo Wu sneered when she heard this: "It sounds good, but if you really agree to it, you won't be able to control yourself then."

She had practiced for many years and had seen the fate of female practitioners who had become cauldrons. If she really fell into the hands of the other party, she would probably not even be able to control her own life and death. Even if she could survive, it would be a fate worse than death.

Huang Quan and she had brought her to a nearby place to rest. During that time, Huang Quan said he would be away for a while and asked her to wait there.

But this wait lasted for several years, and instead of waiting for Huang Quan, he saw a natural disaster in the distant sky.

Such a commotion would surely attract Mahayana monks. She knew something was wrong, so she wanted to leave.

But before he had gone far, he ran into Yan Jin in front of him!

When the other party saw that her fire-attributed magic power was pure, he had evil thoughts and intended to take her as a cauldron to help him improve his cultivation.

She pretended to be nice and tried to delay time as much as possible, holding on to a glimmer of hope that Huang Quan would be able to return as soon as possible.

But now thinking about it makes him disheartened. No matter how strong Huang Quan is, he is just a fusion cultivator. How can he resist a Mahayana cultivator?
Besides, we don’t know where that guy is now, and whether he is alive or dead.

Yan Jin's patience was running out. He snorted coldly, "I've already given you enough face. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

Before he finished speaking, he was ready to take Huo Wu away by force.

At this moment, Chen An suddenly appeared and stood between Huo Wu and Yan Jin.

Yan Jin's eyes narrowed as he looked in surprise at the human cultivator who suddenly appeared before him: "There is another human cultivator who dares to barge in without knowing the consequences!"

Chen An had no expression on his face, and said calmly, "Let her go."

Yan Jin was surprised at first, then he sneered: "I said this woman would never go with me, could she be waiting for you?"

"Ming Xiu and the human race, tsk tsk."

"Haha, that's even better. Isn't it more interesting to take away someone's love?"

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of killing Chen An and capturing Huo Wu.

Chen An frowned slightly. He would never have the slightest mercy for such a despicable person.

He flashed his body and summoned the soul-binding chain. The chain snaked out like a snake and went straight to Yan Jin.

Yan Jin sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a flaming shield appeared in front of him. The chains hit it, making a series of noises, but failed to penetrate it.

Immediately afterwards, the Wuji Evil Pearl flew out from Chen An's body. A pearl shining with cold light circled in the air, and then suddenly burst out with evil energy that soared into the sky.

Yan Jin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly activated his true fire to resist, but he was still pushed back a few steps by the evil bead.

Seeing this, Chen An used the Golden Light Earth Mountain without hesitation. A huge mountain shadow emerged and smashed towards Yan Jin with unparalleled pressure.

Yan Jin's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned a fiery red bowl to try to resist.

However, the power of Jinguan Tujishan was too strong. The bowl roared, and the light dimmed under the collision, and Yanjin was also blown away.

Seeing Yan Jin injured, Chen An took advantage of the situation and pursued him. The golden demon god's image appeared, with eyes like torches and a body full of dazzling golden light. A huge golden sword condensed in his hand, and he slashed at Yan Jin fiercely.

Yan Jin's eyes were filled with fear, and he tried his best to resist, but in the end he was powerless. Under Chen An's golden demon god form, a single sword cut off Yan Jin's life!

Huo Wu looked at Chen An meticulously packing up Yan Jin's belongings, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She never thought that after just a few years of not seeing each other, Chen An's strength had already broken through to the Mahayana realm. What was even more shocking was that just now, the other party was able to kill a Mahayana cultivator from the underworld!

His moves were smooth and fluid, without any delay, and the entire fight only took a few moments.

Chen An smiled slightly, as if he saw through Huo Wu's doubts: "Daoyou Chixia, is Huang Quan late?"

This sentence was like a key that instantly opened a secret room in Huo Wu's memory.

Huo Wu was shocked and blurted out: "Huang Quan? Wait, how do you know I'm Chi Xia?"

At this moment, her mind seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and the figures of Chen An and Huang Quan overlapped in her mind.

Her face was full of disbelief, but upon closer inspection, the two men did have some similarities.

After digesting it for a while, Huo Wu finally confirmed the truth before her.

She pretended to be angry and said, "Well, you have been deceiving me all this time, what crime should you be punished for!"

Although there was blame in his tone, it was more of a relief after being incredulous.

Chen An smiled faintly: "Didn't you tell me your true identity?"

This sentence left Huo Wu speechless.

She paused, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How did you guess my identity?"

Chen An explained: "It's your Dharma image. I heard that you failed to advance to the fusion stage and were saved by the Miao Emperor. Only your soul was left. Later, the human race sent monks to go deep into the underworld, so naturally they thought it might be you."

Huo Wu had mixed feelings. She had failed in her advancement and only a remnant soul remained.

Fortunately, she was saved thanks to the help of Miao Huang, but she was also forced to practice the way of the ghost and ended up in the underworld.

Chen An thought about it, took out a jade bottle from the storage ring and handed it over.

Huo Wu took it, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Nine Netherworld Milk, why give it to me?"

Chen An chuckled, his eyes gentle: "I promised you before that if you help me find the Nine Nether Jade, I will take you to the ancient secret place. Now the secret place is gone. This Nine Nether Nether Milk is my compensation for your original promise."

Huo Wu's expression became slightly complicated when she heard this.

She knew better than anyone what the Nine Netherworld Milk meant to a cultivator who had achieved the fusion state. If this thing were released, it would probably cause a bloody storm in the world of immortal cultivators.

"Thank you."

Huo Wu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Most of the passages to the underworld are now closed, and it's time for me to return to Tianyuan Continent."

In the end, he thanked her and accepted the Nine Netherworld Milk.

Chen An frowned slightly: "Don't leave yet, can you do me a favor?"

A subtle expression flashed across Huo Wu's face, and she said sourly, "You, a great Mahayana cultivator, still need my help? What help?"

Chen An smiled slightly: "I hope you can stay in the underworld for a while. I think the matter between the Xiuxian world and the underworld is not over yet."

Hearing this, Huo Wu's face darkened: "I was wondering why you were so kind to give me a portion of Nine Netherworld Milk, it turns out you want me to work hard for you! Now the Mahayana cultivators are all eyeing us covetously, what can a Fusion cultivator like me do?"

Seeing that the other party was somewhat dissatisfied, Chen An quickly said seriously: "Try to find out what is going on in the underworld and see what they want to do. After all, this is also for the safety of the human race. Moreover, the passage to the underworld in the ghost domain is not closed. If there is any danger, you just run there, and I will support you at any time."

Huo Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally put away the Nine Netherworld Milk, but deep down in her heart, she knew that Chen An was right.

The dispute between the underworld and the world of immortals is far from over, and as a human cultivator, she also has the responsibility to contribute to this matter.

So, Huo Wu glared at Chen An unhappily and turned away.

After Huo Wu left, Chen An stood alone in the cold wind, gently stroking the two strands of Xuanming spiritual energy in his hands.

One strand was obtained from Jinhui before, and the other strand was just taken from the Mahayana monk from the underworld.

These two strands of mysterious spiritual energy, the former is small and pure, while the latter appears thicker and contains more powerful power.

It's too much of a coincidence that both the Jinwu clan and the Ming cultivators possess the Xuanming spiritual energy.

Chen An also had some understanding of the Xuanming spiritual energy. If the amount was sufficient, it could allow a Mahayana cultivator to rebuild his body, which would be of great benefit to both legal and physical cultivators.

As far as Chen An knows, there is no other way to obtain this thing except using some special methods to fuse the dark energy and spiritual energy.

He secretly guessed that the cultivators from the underworld probably invaded the world of immortal cultivation for this reason, and the reason why the Golden Crow Clan was reluctant to close the underworld passage in the Sun City was probably for this reason.

Chen An sneered in his heart. He knew a little about the plans of the two parties, but he was also very interested in how to integrate the dark energy and spiritual energy.

Hopefully, Huo Wu can bring him satisfying news.

When Chen An returned to Day City again, he felt a different atmosphere than usual.

The whole city was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere, as if the entire Day City was shrouded in an invisible layer of pressure.

Chen An was secretly surprised. There seemed to be a lot more unfamiliar auras in the Sun City. Moreover, these auras were all extremely powerful. They were obviously from Mahayana cultivators from other races.

He quickened his pace and headed towards the core area of ​​​​Sun City, the city's meeting hall.

Chen An came to the core area of ​​​​Yori City, and saw nearly thirty monks wearing robes of various colors standing on both sides of a high platform in the center of the city, facing an old man in a golden robe.

The old man had a dignified face and eyes like lightning, and he exuded a suffocatingly powerful aura that made people dare not underestimate him.

Chen An caught a glimpse of Qin Tianxing, walked up to him, and asked softly, "Do you know this person?"

Qin Tianxing glanced at him and smiled slightly: "He is Jin Lieyang, a Mahayana cultivator of the Golden Crow Clan. He is a leading figure among the Mahayana cultivators of the Golden Crow Clan today."

Upon hearing this, Chen An's heart trembled. It turned out that he was a Mahayana from the Golden Crow clan.

Judging from the fact that he is sitting in the upper seat and the respect shown to him by other cultivators, this person is much higher than other Mahayana cultivators in terms of both identity and status, and his strength is probably the same.

There is no division of cultivation levels among Mahayana monks. Monks at this level have only one goal, which is to accumulate magic power so that they can one day survive the catastrophe of becoming an immortal and achieve the body of an immortal!

Although everyone's realm is average, there must be differences in strength. For example, Qin Tianxing in front of him, and Jiemie and Yan Jin who were killed before, are all ordinary Mahayana.

And this Golden Crow Mahayana monk named Jin Lieyang must not be among them. He is probably a Mahayana monk with even stronger strength!
