Chen An walked under the precious tree and looked at the fruits hanging on the branches, feeling excited.

Nineteen fruits were carefully picked, each of which contained extremely rich spiritual energy.

In addition to the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, he also obtained a technique called Tiangang Zhenjue.

After sorting out the skills in my mind, I found that this was a secret book specializing in defensive magical powers, which could greatly enhance the cultivator's survivability when facing strong enemies.

The Tiangang Secret is not just a defensive method, it is more like an art, a skillful use of the power of heaven and earth.

Gradually, Chen An realized a state of resonance with heaven and earth.

Glancing at the fairy tree, he realized that the Eight Spirit Treasure Tree did not turn into ashes to nourish the spirit field like the previous times, but was full of vigor, as if waiting for something.

At that moment, Chen An's heart trembled, thinking that the tree was going to survive the tribulation in one go. He did not dare to delay and acted quickly, taking out nine sky-covering flags from his storage bag. These flags were engraved with intricate runes and emitted a faint light.

Chen An inserted them into the ground one by one according to the directions.

Every time a flag enters the ground, it makes a slight vibration, as if it is resonating with the earth.

After Chen An inserted the last flag into the ground, the entire formation was immediately activated.

A dark aura enveloped the area, completely enveloping the Eight Spirit Treasure Trees.

Chen An could feel that the aura in the formation was completely isolated, and anything in the outside world could not sense the existence of the formation.

"That's good. The Heaven Covering Banner can effectively block all auras, thus preventing the Eight Spiritual Treasure Tree from attracting a heavenly calamity too early."

Chen An stood outside the spiritual field, looking at the fairy tree shrouded in black fog, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the immortal tree will not attract heavenly calamity in a short period of time.

Otherwise, referring to the second elder of the Dragon Clan, the magnitude of the heavenly tribulation would bring him endless troubles regardless of success or failure.

Just as he was about to return to the cave, a talisman flew in from outside the island. Chen An took a look at it indifferently and then reached out to catch it.

This is a letter from Ao Qingtian, inviting him to go to Yueri City. It is said that the Jinwu tribe will publicly auction the Xuanming spiritual energy soon.

He just smiled slightly, without any emotion in his heart.

For him, who already possessed several kilograms of Xuanming spiritual energy, this auction was just an ordinary matter.

Chen An sat in his cave, stroking a jade bottle filled with Xuanming spiritual energy in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.

Xuanming spiritual energy is extremely precious to most cultivators, but for him, although he cannot have as much as he wants, it is enough for his use.

"The auction in Day City?"

Chen Anxin said: "Although this mysterious spiritual energy is extremely precious, for me, the few kilograms in my hand are enough to support my cultivation needs."

Chen An shook his head gently and put the jade bottle containing the Xuanming spiritual energy into his storage bag.

He didn't need to go to Day City to participate in this auction because he already had enough Xuanming spiritual energy.

In comparison, he would rather invest his time and energy into cultivation, improving his own strength, and preparing for the future tribulation of ascension, which is the most important thing.

However, when it comes to overcoming tribulations, in addition to one's own hard power, external objects are also indispensable.

In the following days, Chen An began to sort out the various treasures in the storage bag, carefully selecting suitable Xuanbao.

In the end, he selected three Xuanbao that contained three different laws of wind, thunder, and ice, and prepared to integrate them into the Aurora Five Elements Mountain to refine a Xuantian treasure that contained eight laws and was even more powerful!

Chen An placed the Aurora Five Elements Mountain in the center of the refining furnace, and then carefully placed the three mysterious treasures around the Five Elements Mountain.

Then, he circulated the true energy in his body, activating the Yin-Yang Burning Heaven Fire, and the flames gradually burned in the refining furnace.

As the temperature of the Yin-Yang Burning Sky Fire gradually rose, Chen An continued to inject magic power into the flame, making it even hotter.

The flames rolled and jumped in the refining furnace, making slight crackling sounds.

As time went by, the three mysterious treasures surrounding the Aurora Five Elements Mountain began to melt, turning into three streams of liquid that slowly flowed into the Five Elements Mountain.

Chen An did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He concentrated on controlling the temperature of the Yin-Yang Burning Sky Fire to ensure that every mysterious treasure could be perfectly integrated into the Five Elements Mountain.

Once a mistake occurs, the entire refining process may fail.

As time passed, the Five Elements Mountain gradually changed.

The originally hard surface of the mountain began to glow faintly, and three different laws of power intertwined within the mountain, forming a stable cycle.

Chen An was secretly delighted, the prototype of the Baji Divine Mountain had already taken shape!

About half an hour later, Chen An finally felt that the power of the laws in the Five Elements Mountain had reached a balance point.

He immediately lowered the temperature of the Yin-Yang Burning Sky Fire, allowing the Five Elements Mountain to slowly cool down.

As the temperature dropped, the light on the surface of the Five Elements Mountain gradually became softer and eventually became completely stable.

Chen An gently opened the refining furnace, and saw a brand new Xuantian treasure appear in front of him.

This mountain is more magnificent than the previous Aurora Five Elements Mountain. Its surface is covered with a layer of faint light, and one can vaguely see the power of the three laws of wind, thunder and ice flowing on its surface.

Chen An stretched out his hand and the Baji Divine Mountain fell easily into his hands.

I saw complex runes carved on the surface of the Baji Divine Mountain. These runes emitted a faint light and revealed an extremely powerful aura.

This treasure is no longer a simple treasure. It integrates the power of eight different laws. Its power is far beyond the ordinary Xuantian treasure.

Chen An nodded with satisfaction and put the Baji Divine Mountain into his dantian.

This magic weapon still needs some time to be nurtured before it can exert its maximum power.

But even so, the Baji Divine Mountain is already the most powerful magic weapon in his hands.

In the following days, Chen An continued to practice and constantly improve his cultivation.

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen An stood on the stone tablet of Shengxian Island, looking at the thunder tribulation that was about to come in the distance, his heart filled with emotion. It had been six hundred years since he started practicing!
The six hundred years of his cultivation journey have been filled with countless hardships and challenges, but he has never given up on moving forward.

Chen An stood quietly on the stone tablet of Shengxian Island, looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, but his heart was calm.

His eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds and see the distant future.

Over the past thousand years, he has experienced countless life and death tests, each time making him stronger.

And today, Wang Ming will face the most important test in his life, the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation!
Chen An sighed softly and prayed silently for Wang Ming in his heart.

He turned to look at Chen Fengshuo beside him and found that the latter also had a frown on his face, obviously worried about Wang Ming.

"Don't worry too much. You know Wang Ming's strength. He will definitely be able to survive this thunder tribulation safely." Chen Fengshuo nodded, but did not speak. He just stared at the thunderclouds in the sky.

After so many years, Chen Fengshuo is about to break through to the Mahayana stage. This time, Wang Ming's tribulation has undoubtedly given him a lot of confidence.

He secretly made up his mind to practice hard and strive to break through the Mahayana stage as soon as possible. He must not fall behind this kid Wang Ming!
As time passed, the thunderclouds in the sky became denser and denser, and the thunder became louder and louder.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth again.

Wang Ming returned in the colorful clouds, smiling, looking particularly calm.

"Congratulations, Brother Wang, for successfully surviving the thunder tribulation!" Chen Fengshuo congratulated sincerely.

"lucky!"

Wang Ming responded with a word, and then bowed to Chen An: "Thank you for your help, senior. If you hadn't been helping me behind the scenes, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

He was grateful for Chen An's support. Without his encouragement and support, he would not have been able to break through the Mahayana stage so quickly.

Chen An smiled calmly and said, "All of this originally belongs to you. You deserve it."

Looking at Wang Ming in front of him, his heart was filled with relief.

The ignorant boy who had just entered the world of cultivation has now grown into a Mahayana cultivator who is capable of standing on his own. After all these years of practice, Wang Ming has finally grown to this point!
Even if he ascends to heaven in the future, the Chen family and even the human race will have the protection of Mahayana cultivators and will not be bullied.

A few months later.

One day, Chen An was practicing quietly on Shengxian Island when he suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from the sky. Looking up, he saw a woman in red walking in the air. It was Huo Wu.

At this time, Huo Wu's cultivation had already broken through to the Mahayana realm. She was emitting a faint spiritual light, appearing even more otherworldly.

Chen An's mind moved, and his figure instantly disappeared in the cave and appeared outside the island.

Huo Wu was seen as usual, still wearing a red dress, as dazzling as a flame.

Her arrival surprised Chen An a little, but he quickly calmed down.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Your cultivation has improved a lot." Huo Wu said with a smile.

Chen An nodded slightly and smiled faintly: "Daoyou has now broken through to the Mahayana stage, which is really cause for celebration!"

It's been many years since we last saw each other. Now Huo Wu has become a Mahayana cultivator. She had the help of the Nine Netherworld Milk and Qin Tianxing's skills before, so this was a natural thing.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, Huo Wu seemed a little anxious and said directly: "I came here this time to invite you to go to Day City together."

"Sun City?"

Chen An heard this and his eyes narrowed slightly: "What are you going to Sun City for?"

Huo Wu explained, "Recently I heard that there is a grand auction in Day City, unprecedented, and there will be a large amount of Xuanming spiritual energy appearing. I came here this time to invite you to go with me."

Over the years, an auction has been held in Yueri City every few decades, with a small one every twenty years and a large one every fifty years. Every time, more or less Xuanming spiritual energy would appear.

Even though Huo Wu has already become a Mahayana cultivator, she is only a beginner and her strength is limited. If she carries some Xuanming spiritual energy with her after the auction, she will inevitably be coveted by other people with ulterior motives.

She knew Chen An's strength best. If she could go with him, safety would be solved.

Chen An's heart moved slightly when he heard this. The Xuanming spiritual energy was extremely attractive to cultivators and was a treasure that Mahayana cultivators dreamed of.

However, he had already made plans in his mind, so he smiled calmly: "Fellow Daoist Huo Wu, the auction in Day City is indeed very lively, but the Mysterious Spiritual Energy is not a necessity for me."

Huo Wu's eyes flashed with doubt when she heard this. Chen An's cultivation had already reached an extraordinary level, but even a Mahayana cultivator like her would be tempted by treasures like the Xuanming Spiritual Energy. This made her really unable to understand why Chen An was indifferent.

Chen An seemed to see through Huo Wu's confusion. He took out an exquisite jade bottle from his arms, opened the bottle cap, and immediately a cool breath filled the air.

"This is some mysterious spiritual energy that I accidentally obtained. Since Daoist Fellow Huo Wu needs it, why not take some."

As he spoke, Chen An poured out a pound of Xuanming spiritual energy from the bottle and handed it to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu took the jade bottle and was shocked.

You know, Xuanming spiritual energy is almost in short supply in the world of cultivation. Even for Mahayana cultivators, it is difficult to have the opportunity to come into contact with it.

Chen An could actually take out so much money at will, which made Huo Wu doubt Chen An's generosity.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this..." Huo Wu was a little hesitant. She didn't expect Chen An to be so generous.

Chen An waved his hand, signaling her not to say more: "This mysterious spiritual energy is not given to you for nothing. I hope that in your lifetime, you can protect the Chen family three times to the best of your ability."

Huo Wu was silent for a moment after hearing this and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Huo Wu has made a note of it. If the Chen family is in trouble in the future, Huo Wu will do her best to help."

Chen An nodded with satisfaction. He knew Huo Wu was a trustworthy person. Since she had promised, she would not go back on her word. This could be seen from the fact that she allowed the other party to continue to be undercover in the underworld.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Huo Wu said goodbye and left.

After leaving Shengxian Island, Huo Wu had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She really couldn't understand why Chen An had so much Xuanming spiritual energy. What made her even more incredible was that Chen An didn't seem to value these extremely precious spiritual objects much.

As she walked, she thought about Chen An's words, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart at how unfathomable Chen An was.

"Sheltered the Chen family three times."

Huo Wu muttered to herself, and when she looked up, she saw the stone tablet on the island and was stunned.

When he saw the three words "Ascension Island" before, he did not think much about it. After all, when reaching the Mahayana level, the next step is to ascend to become an immortal, which is the common goal of many Mahayana cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

But considering Chen An's actions just now, when Huo Wu looked at the stone tablet again, her eyelids twitched wildly, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart.

Dongfuzhong.

Chen An looked at the several small jade bottles filled with Xuanming spiritual energy in his hands, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Over the years, he has been practicing diligently. Apart from practicing, he would also take time out to condense the Xuanming spiritual energy. Now, he has quite a few of them.

If he had not been worried that it would not be enough to rebuild his body in the future, he would have left it to his clan long ago. As for the one pound he just exchanged with Huo Wu, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Chen An was well aware of the preciousness of such treasures, but he had no intention of attending the so-called auction.

"The auction in Sun City is just an ordinary thing after all."

Chen An whispered to himself: "Although the Xuanming spiritual energy is good, it is not indispensable to me."

"Now all I wish for is to ascend to heaven!" (End of this chapter)
