Chapter 176
Chen Xuan and his personal disciple Jiang Linglong departed on their swords without any intention of lingering.
The price of using the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword Qi' is that it instantly drains ninety percent of his spiritual energy, and this feeling of weakness throughout his body makes Chen Xuan very uncomfortable.
The Yin spirit was completely unaffected, so after Chen Xuan's true body left, Chen Xuan's Yin spirit, holding the replica Celestial Master Sword, went straight to a point a hundred meters above the Immortal Path.
Then, a vast expanse of violent lightning began to rage down upon the ancient buildings, palaces, and mountains below.
Streaks of lightning snaked down from the horizon, like wounds tearing the sky apart.
The flashes of the polar day's white light made it impossible to look directly at the sky, and Chen Xuan's Yin spirit was thus bathed in the center of thousands of thunderbolts.
He formed a thunder seal with his left hand and held a jujube wood sword in his right, looking down at everything.
However, the raging thunder did not strike a single mountain below.
Nevertheless, various pleas for mercy and terrified screams could be heard from below.
Most of the people below were middle-aged men dressed in fine clothes and with extraordinary bearing. They had made an appointment to come to Shenxiandao to seek a fortune-changing ritual a long time ago, but they never expected that such a shocking change would happen during the ritual.
Faced with the divine retribution of thunder, some wealthy people fled in terror, while some government officials clasped their hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha.
Some even knelt down, bowed, and shouted for their ancestors to bless them.
As lightning struck, the entire mountain range seemed to tremble, as if an earthquake had struck. Soon after, the tremors of massive buildings collapsing in the distance were witnessed by these people.
"What happened? Has the sky collapsed?"
"Just now the Taoist priest said that their Taoist path is thriving and that their rituals are effective in protecting spirits. Isn't this just a scam?"
"Yes, that arrogant Taoist priest was turned into charred remains by a bolt of lightning in the blink of an eye!"
"What's wrong with the Immortal Path? How could it have attracted the wrath of Heaven and brought down lightning?!"
"Huh? What is that?"
Someone looked up at the sky and, amidst the flashes of lightning, vaguely saw a figure seemingly standing in the void.
Upon seeing this, someone immediately started shouting and yelling.
Immediately, more wealthy merchants and tycoons followed the directions.
At first, many people didn't see it, after all, the flashing lightning was too intense.
But if someone points out the location and you look closely, it's a different story.
Immediately, many people saw the young man standing proudly in the center of the thunder, sword in hand.
"Gods, immortals?!"
"Can fly? Are you a god?"
"Holy crap, holy crap, what am I seeing? An immortal undergoing tribulation? The Path of Immortals is truly amazing, are there really immortals here?"
Some wealthy people who are good at making up their own ideas can actually disregard the destroyed buildings and dead Taoist disciples around them and shamelessly claim that the person in question is an immortal from the Taoist sect.
The commotion below was quite significant, and Chen Xuan noticed it as he looked down.
If these people weren't just ordinary mortals, he might have killed them all.
Just, it's not necessary.
"Holy crap, why is there no internet?"
"Yes, to witness an immortal undergoing tribulation, what an incredible blessing that is!"
"Take a picture of it, keep it to brag about later, and Buffett will definitely be completely fooled."
"Hahaha... Brother, it's all thanks to you for coming back. If we don't take advantage of American capital, we'd be doing a disservice to the immortal."
……
"I really wish a celestial being would grant me an elixir of immortality."
Among the crowd were many wealthy socialites and daughters of high-ranking officials. Several of them were among the most beautiful and attractive in society. As they looked up at Chen Xuan's figure, their minds were filled with fantasies.
"I wish I could marry an immortal."
"If the immortal agrees, I'd be willing to be his dog."
"Look, the immortals have come down and are coming towards us!!"
"Holy crap, how do we greet an immortal without seeming obsequious, while still maintaining our high-class status, guys?"
"Go to hell! Kneel down before you speak!"
……
These words were like a wake-up call, and immediately dozens of men and women on the hilltop knelt down.
