Xiang Qianqiu's voice was like a spring thunder, exploding beside Chen Yuan's ear, making his heart sink.

"Speak first."

"Do you think I'm a fool to let you hear it first? If you don't fight, wouldn't I be at a great loss?"

"If you refuse to speak until death, what can I do to you?"

Chen Yuan and Xiang Qianqiu locked eyes, the atmosphere was tense.

After a long deadlock, Xiang Qianqiu sent a voice message into Chen Yuan's ear.

"First, gather the flower on top and connect with heaven and earth, which will cause great pressure on the physical body, making it nearly impossible to open up the inner heaven and earth and comprehend its rules.

To enter the Six Realms with both body and primordial spirit, you must first cultivate the physical body, open up the inner heaven and earth, and then break through to the Six Realms of the primordial spirit, achieving unity inside and out, connecting with heaven and earth.

This is... the Way of the Martial God!"

Chen Yuan was suddenly awakened. He had this thought before but couldn't be sure, as there were no precedents around him.

But now, Xiang Qianqiu's words revealed the true path to him.

"Really?"

"No matter how unwilling you are, you are still a descendant of the Xiang Family, my bloodline, and this secret has only been known to the Xiang Family members.

Telling you is not considered a violation of family rules. Sincerity has been shown, but if you are still unwilling, then so be it...."

Xiang Qianqiu said solemnly.

"Since I already know the method, why should I be constrained by you?"

"Because you're still missing something."

"What is it?"

"For thousands of years, I believe this method has been tried, but except for the Grand Ancestor, no one succeeded, which is why it's called a dead end.

Leaving now, unless you don't want to enter the Six Realms of the physical body, you'll be forever trapped in the Half-Immortal Realm, but if you can defeat me.

I can tell you the breakthrough method!"

Chen Yuan's gaze was unpredictable. After Xiang Qianqiu stated his piece, he remained silent, just quietly watching Chen Yuan's decision, showing none of the previous expressions.

Now, it was Chen Yuan who should be conflicted.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan softly said:

"Senior Moluo, reveal yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Qianqiu's lips curled into a slight smile, as if his goal had been achieved.

In an instant, the void of the transmission array was torn apart, and Moluo, dressed in white, slowly appeared. He glanced solemnly at Xiang Qianqiu, then turned his gaze to Chen Yuan and asked:

"Have you thought it through?"

"I should have killed him long ago. Extracting the secret of the Six Realms of the physical body was worth it. Now, it's time to send him on his way." Chen Yuan nodded.

"This person seems off, be careful."

"Rest assured, senior. Chen Yuan, having faced life-and-death battles large and small countless times, will not fall to a defeated opponent.

If he dares to come, then he must die!"

A glint of killing intent flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Moluo nodded, then turned his gaze to Xiang Qianqiu, saying solemnly:

"I do not interfere in the grievances between you father and son, but Xiang Lord should be clear about one thing."

"Speak freely, Daoist Moluo."

"If King Yan were to fall, the Xiang Family would be utterly destroyed. You may disregard my threat, but you need to be clear about this. Behind King Yan is not only me, but also Earth Immortal mighty beings.

Even if you can defeat King Yan, can you defeat an Earth Immortal mighty being?"

"Hahaha.... It's said that the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva is compassionate and kind, but now it seems that's all there is, as life and death are governed by fate, and wealth is in the hands of heaven.

The affairs between us father and son are for no one else to intervene!"

Xiang Qianqiu's pupils contracted, coldly retorting.

"Life and death are governed by fate, and wealth is in the hands of heaven.... Hahaha.... Indeed, holding on to this belief is how I have come this far, today... we will decide life and death and see who between us truly achieves wealth!"

"If that's the case, then let it be!"

Xiang Qianqiu waved his hand, and at the end of the void channel, a transmission array portal appeared instantly, which then disappeared.

"Be cautious, I'm always here."

Moluo could tear through the void, confident he could act swiftly to save in a moment of crisis.

Chen Yuan shook his head:

"Xiang Qianqiu knows of your existence, he certainly has some contingency plan ready. But you, senior, must be cautious. If things become unfeasible, leave immediately.

There have been many who wanted to kill me, but Xiang Qianqiu is not worthy!"

Having said that, Chen Yuan transformed into a stream of light, rushing into the transmission array portal.

Moluo stood there silently for a moment, then said softly:

"Since the benefactor deliberately exposed a trace of Qi, why bother to hide?"

"Hehehe.... Hehehe...."

A dry, hoarse voice echoed, with chains piercing the void, and the Bronze Divine Coffin fell into the void channel, blocking Moluo.

The transmission array portal Xiang Qianqiu had opened earlier disappeared without a trace.

"Does the benefactor's vow really hold so little value?"

Moluo raised his head, staring directly at him.

"Hehehe.... To you and me, what are vows worth? My path to the Earth Immortal Realm is hopeless; I don't need a clear conscience, I seek... immortality.

Xiang Qianqiu agreed to my terms.... Naturally, I will act!"

"After today, the Seven Killings Hall will completely vanish...."

"Haha.... Haha.... Moluo.... Do you think I am easily frightened? Having cultivated for a thousand years, do I need to retreat because of your threat? The Seven Killings Hall is gone, then we can rebuild a new one.

As long as I am here, the Seven Killings Hall.... will never be extinguished!"

The Ancestor of the Seven Killings Hall inside the Bronze Divine Coffin laughed madly, even speaking more smoothly.

"Do you think Xiang Qianqiu can surely win?"

"Hehe.... Indeed, Xiang Qianqiu will win!"

If Xiang Qianqiu hadn't shown him the flower condensed with rules, declaring his entry into the Six Realms, the Ancestor of the Seven Killings Hall wouldn't gamble at such great risk against the currently thriving Chen Yuan.

It was because this time the advantage seemed entirely in Xiang Qianqiu's favor. Chen Yuan, a mere Yang God, even with extraordinary combat ability, fighting beyond his rank, how could he face a true immortal?

"Why are you so certain, benefactor?"

Moluo frowned slightly, feeling a sudden unease.

"Defeat me.... and I will tell you!"

Moluo squinted his eyes, speaking softly:

"Do you think I, a humble monk, cannot kill you?"

"I would actually like to see... your methods."

Moluo raised his head, his entire aura changing instantly, the demon phase occupying half his body, black and white distinctly, with fierce demon flames burning in the void.

The void twisted uncontrollably.

"A millennia-trapped Human Immortal garbage, dares to boast against me?" Moluo's face twitched slightly, arching a cold smile.

An estrangled voice emerged from his mouth, a stark contrast to the previously compassionate image.

"You, neither demon nor Buddha, courting death!"

The Bronze Divine Coffin shattered, the skin withered, hair sparse, resembling a zombie. The Ancestor of the Seven Killings Hall stood up abruptly, enveloped in thick Evil Qi.

In his chest, a rusty iron sword was embedded, it was the sect's Immortal Weapon, the weapon of the Seven Killings Hall Master.

"Noisy!"

The demon phase twisted its neck, while the Buddha phase was as calm as water, silently observing this scene. In an instant, turbulent demon flames erupted, surging towards the Ancestor of the Seven Killings Hall.

Likewise, the opponent's Evil Qi turned into flames, filled with the aura of rules and clashed.

The Immortal Battle begins!

...

...

With Moluo and the Ancestor of the Seven Killings Hall engaged in their confrontation, Chen Yuan, who had entered the combat zone prepared by Xiang Qianqiu, was filled with an incomparable sense of gravity, for he had arrived not in the human realm.

But in a Secret Realm!

And this Secret Realm differed from the Primordial Energy-rich Blessed Land Cave Heaven he had seen before, this place was full of deathly silence, with a faint scent of blood.

When he looked up, he saw a ghastly cyan sky, reminiscent of Hell.

"Chen Yuan, my son...."

A familiar voice echoed, and as the gray cyan fog dissipated, Xiang Qianqiu revealed his true body a thousand feet away from Chen Yuan.

Only now he was greatly changed from before.

The black Martial Arts robe had turned into a golden five-claw dragon robe, with a sulphur bead crown on his head. Beneath him was a dragon chair made of gilded gold!

Everyone, please don't criticize too much. I'm writing at my own pace, trying not to rush the climax.

Thank you, everyone.
