Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

```

Huang Yuxiu, an elder of Mingxiu Peak.

Wang Chen had heard that this Purple Mansion Superior was stunningly beautiful and had an explosive temper, and most of all, was fiercely protective of her own.

All of Huang Yuxiu's disciples were female cultivators.

She had never taken a Dao companion and regarded her disciples as family.

Anyone who provoked one of Huang Yuxiu's disciples would find themselves relentlessly pursued!

The incident Wang Chen remembered most vividly was when Huang Yuxiu caused an uproar at the lecture on Sunset Peak, resulting in Chang Chun fleeing embarrassingly under the watchful eyes of everyone.

At the time, he thought Huang Yuxiu and Chang Chun had irreconcilable hatred, which led the female elder to disregard the Superior's face and clash with Chang Chun on the spot.

Strangely, the Cloud Sun Sect above seemed to have no reaction to this.

Now it seemed, the grudges between the two had more to them.

Chang Chun's late wife was named Huang Yuqiu, which differed by only one character from Huang Yuxiu.

Just on this point alone, Wang Chen could concoct an entire long-running family ethics drama series in his mind!

"Chang Chun!"

"Come out and explain yourself clearly!"

Huang Yuxiu's voice came again, "Don't be like a turtle hiding its head! If you want to do that, go lie down at the sect's main gate!"

This Purple Mansion Superior spewed graceful words, unlike a Superior, more victorious than those from Zaun.

Unable to bear it any longer, Chang Chun sighed deeply and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go out and lead her away."

He cautioned, "Remember not to tell anyone about our master-disciple relationship, otherwise, if that crazy woman finds out, your future troubles will be great."

Wang Chen, "This disciple will surely bear it in mind!"

Wang Chen didn't need Chang Chun to specifically instruct him; he also didn't want to be targeted by this female exterminator!

After Chang Chun had left, Huang Yuxiu indeed went silent.

Wang Chen waited for a moment longer, then stealthily slipped out of Peach Blossom Valley.

It felt like acting like a thief.

It was indeed ridiculous.

In the days that followed, Wang Chen first brought his Sword Control Technique to the Great Perfection tier.

Then he focused on practicing the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

He would visit Peach Blossom Valley every so often to seek Chang Chun's guidance on the path of swordsmanship.

To enhance his cultivation level in swordsmanship.

Time passed day by day in this manner.

Summer changed to autumn, and the weather gradually turned cool.

Wang Chen harvested another batch of yellow millet and black sesame rice, making his Spirit Rice reserves very plentiful.

His Five Elements Technique was improving daily, and he was not far from breaking through the ninth tier.

But accidents always come unexpectedly.

After autumn arrived, Wang Chen noticed something unusual with Yuanyuan.

It became restless, often threw small tantrums, and its appetite wasn't as good as before.

It would also frequently cry out to Wang Chen, until its voice was hoarse.

However, Wang Chen couldn't understand the little guy's message, only knowing it was in great discomfort.

Seeing this pained Wang Chen's heart.

Ever since Bai gifted Yuanyuan to him, Wang Chen had never seen the little fellow as a pet.

He regarded it as family, his companion by his side.

His only family!

Under such circumstances, Wang Chen immediately took two baskets of carefully selected Spirit Fruits.

And went to seek answers from the Mysterious Turtle at the sect's entrance.

This elderly had lived for a thousand years, and being from the Monster Race, was surely aware of the reasons.

"It's about to ascend to a higher tier."

After receiving the Spirit Fruits, the Mysterious Turtle spoke languidly, "It's like this when Bloodline Manifestation occurs."

Yuanyuan was going to level up?

Wang Chen was both shocked and delighted, hurriedly asking, "What can I do?"

The Mysterious Turtle blinked, "Its bloodline is special; to ascend, it must find an opportunity, or the risk of failure is great."

Opportunity?

Wang Chen paused, "Elder Mysterious Turtle, can't you give it some guidance?"

"Its opportunity isn't with me."

The Mysterious Turtle shook its head, "I've already told it what it needs to know, and I believe you can help it."

After saying this, the Old Turtle closed its eyes, "Go now, it doesn't have much time."

With a belly full of questions, Wang Chen returned to the manor.

He took Yuanyuan out of its nest and declared resolutely, "Elder Mysterious Turtle has already told me, where is your opportunity? I'll go with you to find it!"

Yuanyuan pitifully whimpered, "Meep meep~"

"Don't be afraid."

```

Wang Chen patted its little head, "With me here, you'll definitely succeed in advancing!"

Yuanyuan rubbed his palm with its nose, "Yi yi ya!"

Wang Chen felt that the little guy had a belly full of words to tell him, but unfortunately, it still hadn't transformed its horizontal bone.

If it succeeded in advancing this time, it might even be able to speak human language!

Just the thought of it filled Wang Chen with excitement.

However, when he figured out what opportunity the Mysterious Turtle and Yuanyuan were talking about, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Dig down?"

Yuanyuan nodded like a pecking chick, "Yi yi!"

Wang Chen scratched his head, "Then let's dig."

With no clear understanding, he found a corner in the backyard, lifted the paving slabs, and started digging with tools.

Wang Chen's digging skills could be considered unrivaled among his fellow cultivators, all thanks to his experience of digging a "Doomsday Bunker" back in the Outer Sect. He thought he would never need them again after joining the much safer Inner Sect.

But now he was back at his old trade.

Although he had no specific purpose, Wang Chen was not digging aimlessly.

Because Yuanyuan would tell him which direction to dig.

The little guy's talent for digging tunnels was an innate divine ability, and not at all inferior to Wang Chen's.

Then, as he dug, Wang Chen eventually broke through into the tunnel Yuanyuan had dug!

He continued to dig down along this mouse-made passage.

He dug to nearly a hundred zhang deep!

On the evening of the third day, as Wang Chen was digging vigorously in the tunnel, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet give way, and he, along with the rocks at his feet, fell down.

His reaction was incredibly quick as he slapped a lightening talisman on himself without a second thought.

He immediately bolstered his Spirit Light Armor!

With both measures in place, Wang Chen landed steadily on solid rock.

The sound of rushing water instantly reached his ears.

Pulling out a Luminous Stone lamp and hanging it on his body, Wang Chen saw the surroundings clearly with the bright light.

He was a bit stunned.

A clear, bottom-visible Underground Dark River was flowing right in front of him.

And Wang Chen had seen such a scene before!

The last time when he followed the Cloud Sun Flying Warship to clean up the Evil Nest, an earthquake occurred while he was tunneling, resulting in him falling deep underground.

It was there that he encountered the Blood God Child, and he nearly lost his life.

Now, Wang Chen seriously suspected that the Underground Dark River in front of him was the very same one!

Could Yuanyuan be related to the Blood God Child?

He thought about it and took out the Blood God Crystal worth thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

This piece of bone dropped by the Blood God Child when it exploded, Wang Chen had been loath to sell, but if it was connected to Yuanyuan's opportunity, he would not hesitate to offer it up.

As soon as Wang Chen handed the Blood God Crystal to the little one, it immediately retracted back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.

It seemed that wasn't it.

Wang Chen, somewhat disappointed, put away the Blood God Crystal and gently patted the Spirit Beast Pouch, "Which way shall we go?"

Yuanyuan poked its head out of the Spirit Beast Pouch, "Yi yi!"

Wang Chen understood.

He walked forward along the bank of the Underground Dark River to the right.

Having had the experience of battling the Blood God Child,

Wang Chen was extremely cautious in his movements, making preparations for battle and retreat as he moved forward.

However, he walked upstream for more than ten li.

Not only did he not encounter any danger, but he didn't even see a living insect.

It was as if he'd entered a land of silence.

As for Yuanyuan's opportunity, it was still nowhere to be found!

But having come this far, there was no reason for Wang Chen to give up halfway, so he could only keep going.

Guided by Yuanyuan, he turned into a tributary of the Underground Dark River.

Continuing to delve deep underground.

Just when Wang Chen started to wonder if his destination was the center of the earth, a bright light suddenly appeared ahead.

His spirits lifted instantly, and he quickened his pace involuntarily.

The light in front of him grew brighter and brighter, even overpowering the Luminous Stone lamp's glow.

As Wang Chen emerged from the waterway created by the Dark River.

The view opened up before his eyes.

A massive cavern presented itself in his field of vision!
