Chapter 1007: Teleport to Eastern Wasteland, Qingshuang Soul Transformation
The north wind howled, and the ice and snow were white.
A figure stood on the bank of the blood lake, which was as thick as a swamp, silently watching the huge blood cocoon in the center of the blood lake.
The Three Wanderers, once the best among the North Sea loose cultivators, looked down on their peers.
But with the disappearance of the Blood Wanderer and the enslavement of the Moon Wanderer, the glory of the Three Wanderers had long since vanished.
As a "Wild Wanderer" who was once on par with them, Luo Chen didn't expect to meet the last Mad Wanderer under such circumstances.
But the two didn't even have the most basic verbal communication; there was only a simple look at each other, and everything was in silence.
Looking at the thick blood cocoon at this moment, Luo Chen knew that the Mad Wanderer had reached the most critical juncture; if he could pass this pass, he would inevitably usher in a new opportunity. If he failed, the only outcome for the Mad Wanderer would be death.
"Wish the fellow Daoist good luck!"
After staring for a long time, Luo Chen blurted out this sentence and turned to leave.
After he left, the blood lake had unusual restlessness.
A large amount of blood and black energy surged toward the blood cocoon, and a vigorous heartbeat sound thumped, as if predicting the birth of a new life.
……
In Sinking Sea City, inside the Buddha Hall.
Kong Chan sat on the futon, chanting Buddhist scriptures; the atmosphere was peaceful and stable, and there was no fishy demonic aura at all.
Suddenly!
The prayer beads in Kong Chan's hand stopped abruptly. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw a black figure standing quietly in front of the Ming Wang Buddha statue.
For some reason, Kong Chan actually felt that the black-clothed Daoist at this moment had a few similarities with the Ming Wang Buddha statue, even though the other party was clearly not a Buddhist.
"Master, have you left seclusion?"
Kong Chan wanted to stand up, but was signaled by the person to forget it.
Then he heard the other party's leisurely voice.
"I am about to leave, do you want to follow me, or stay in the North Sea."
Leave?
Kong Chan's heart moved, and he immediately understood that the other party's leaving was not just leaving the Arctic Night-Mo Heaven, but leaving the North Sea.
He immediately hesitated.
Luo Chen didn't let him consider for too long, throwing out a condition.
"Actually, it doesn't matter where you are; what matters is that you need to take action for me in the near future. Just once, and after success, I will lift the soul restriction for you, and from then on you will be free, and the outside world will not know that you once submitted to a human cultivator."
Kong Chan's eyes lit up immediately, asking straight away: "I don't know who the master wants to deal with?"
"Heavenly Origin Dao Sect!"
The four words, light as a feather, now felt like a mountain pressing on Kong Chan's heart, almost making him unable to speak.
"This..."
"Consider it well; I hope to see you on the battlefield by then."
Luo Chen smiled lightly, then turned and walked out.
He didn't force the other party.
Unlike Black King and Xiao Bai, the "master-servant" relationship between him and the demon monk Kong Chan was not deep; even if he forcibly ordered the other party to take action, there was a high possibility that they would work without effort.
But if the other party did it voluntarily, they would inevitably do their best!
He believed that Kong Chan would make the right choice; after all, once he failed, the soul backlash Kong Chan would suffer wouldn't be much better.
Behind him came the tangled inquiry.
"Time? Location?"
"Ten years later, the Dao Sect ancestral court, Eastern Origin Continent!"
After the words fell, Luo Chen's figure was no longer in the Buddha Hall, and Kong Chan sat on the futon with a cloudy and sunny face.
For a long time, the sound of chanting Buddha only sounded again in the Buddha Hall.
It's just that compared to before, this chanting sound was quite heavy.
……
"Master, how do we go back? Are we going back the same way?"
Walking out of the ruined Sinking Sea City, Xiao Bai asked this question with concern.
Black King also popped out, saying foolishly: "That would be too slow, and we have to avoid the ears and eyes of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect."
Xiao Bai hummed, "Do you have a better way?"
Black King's tone stalled.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chen said: "There is indeed a faster way to go back."
After speaking, Luo Chen released the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle and stepped onto it.
The flying shuttle turned and headed east.
This was the posture to cross the North Sea!
That distance was not faster than returning the same way; after all, the Arctic Night-Mo Heaven was at the extreme north of the North Sea.
Seeing this, Black King seemed to have thought of something.
"Master, are you planning to..."
"Hmm."
Luo Chen nodded gently, acknowledging the other party's idea.
If they followed that route, they could save at least half the time.
Only Xiao Bai was confused.
Black King laughed, didn't explain to her, but instead drilled out and said to Luo Chen: "Master, we took advantage of your seclusion to search the Origin Demon Sect ruins and found many good things."
While speaking, it spat out a pile of sundries from its mouth like offering treasure.
Luo Chen was not moved; with his current strength and realm, ordinary treasures were not in his eyes at all.
And when the demon clan was trapped in Night-Mo Heaven for two hundred years, even if the Origin Demon Sect had rare treasures left behind, it was estimated that they had long been looted by the demon clan strong experts.
So the good things in Black King's mouth were inevitably just ordinary goods.
However, after Luo Chen's gaze swept over the pile of sundries, his eyes moved suddenly, and he reached out to summon a statue.
"Huh!"
Black King said proudly: "Those demon clan juniors did search very cleanly, but there are always places they didn't search; I dug this statue out from deep underground. Xiao Bai and I have studied it, and it might record a body-refining technique. I know you like to collect various body-refining techniques, so I specially kept it."
"You did well."
Luo Chen hummed, and carefully rubbed the statue.
This thing was carved quite strangely; it was clearly a human, but it had two horns on its head. And on its pitch-black body, blood vessels were incomparably clear, and there was a layer of blood-colored halo covering it.
It didn't conform to any demonic clan in the Demon World recorded in the Heaven-Refining Demon Monarch's classics, but it was definitely not a human or demon clan.
"What kind of thing is this carved?"
At a glance, this statue gave people a sense of endless blood and energy, and a powerful flesh body!
Black King said it recorded a body-refining technique, and there was a reason.
But this body-refining technique didn't really show up, it seemed to need some trick.
Luo Chen calmed down and began to study carefully.
……
Half a year later.
On the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle, Luo Chen held the "Demon Man Statue" and focused his gaze.
Magic power was injected into it, and the statue didn't move.
Luo Chen applied Source Power, and the blood-colored halo suddenly flowed, darting along those blood vessels.
But at the critical node, the blood-colored halo suddenly stopped.
Clearly, magic power couldn't activate this statue, even with source power condensed from blood and energy, it could only slightly activate it and couldn't manifest the real technique.
Luo Chen had roughly guessed how to activate this thing.
It needed pure demonic energy to activate this demon man statue and manifest the complete technique. Otherwise, even with wild beast source power, it could only barely walk a small half of the cultivation route.
But until now, who had such pure demonic energy?
For a time, two figures appeared in Luo Chen's mind.
One was the Mad Wanderer who was still lying in the blood lake of Night-Mo Heaven; if he successfully transformed into a demonic clan physique, generating demonic energy was a matter of course.
The other was Ning Yuzhuo, whom he met in the Southern Frontier back then; that guy should be a true disciple of the Origin Demon lineage.
"When I have time in the future, I will find them!"
Luo Chen put away the demon statue, and then Black King's voice came from outside.
"Master, we've arrived at the Flying Swallow Islands."
Luo Chen walked out slowly, standing on the flying shuttle suspended in the Nine Heavens, his gaze staring into the distance below.
In his
spiritual sense perception, a blue-skirted woman was quietly and peacefully combing herbs in the medicine garden, and a large number of spiritual fish were swimming in the small lake beside her, very comfortable.
"Golden Core middle stage, in the past hundred years, Haixin has not been slack in cultivation!"
Black King probed: "Master, are you going to see that mistress?"
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Forget it!"
"I don't even know what my future holds, why drag her into it. Besides, with Haixin's current strength, she can't help me."
"Let her live quietly here!"
After speaking, Luo Chen turned the flying shuttle and headed east.
Xiao Bai finally realized something; she looked at the island group that looked like a flying swallow spreading its wings, and vaguely observed a woman with a beautiful appearance and a concave and convex figure in her spiritual sense.
That should be the companion the master mentioned earlier in the North Sea.
Is her name Cheng Haixin?
While Xiao Bai was guessing, the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle was extremely fast, having already left the Flying Swallow Islands, and after a while, it landed on an unnamed small island with sea birds circling and abundant water vapor.
Xiao Bai was confused, what was the point of stopping here?
"Master, aren't we going back to the Eastern Wasteland?"
Luo Chen put away the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle, smiled slightly, and walked into the small mountain in the center of the island.
"The way home is inside!"
Pushing aside the vines and entering the cave, an ancient yet gorgeous teleportation array sat quietly there.
Luo Chen bent down to check carefully, then stood up with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, as I expected, Monarch Qixia repaired this teleportation array when she returned to the Eastern Wasteland from the North Sea."
Luo Chen turned and looked at the one person and one ghost.
This kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation array across continents is convenient, but the requirements for "passengers" are also very high.
Back then, he and Han Zhan relied on the Azure Luan feather to barely succeed in teleporting over.
Now that he wanted to bring the two, without the help of the Azure Luan feather, he could only rely on his own strength.
Facing Luo Chen's thoughtful gaze, Black King reacted for the first time, circling Luo Chen's arm and raising its head.
"Master, don't worry, I won't let the tragedy of the Central State teleportation happen again."
Luo Chen was speechless.
Teleportation accidents really happened once.
That time, without telling Fu Chaosheng and others, he quietly brought Black King from the North Sea to the Central State, and then brewed a tragedy.
The large amount of Dragon Earthworms carried on Black King's body were squeezed to death by the pressure of the teleportation array; upon arrival, the massive amount of Dragon Earthworm blood directly polluted a teleportation array in the Central State.
For this, the Fu family paid a considerable price as compensation.
That tragedy of blood-staining the Central State was considered quite ominous by some, as if it were a disaster of blood.
Now it seems that that tragedy actually predicted the future in the dark; isn't he going back this time to target the Central State and bring blood and rain to the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect?
Luo Chen spat out a breath of turbid air and summoned Xiao Bai.
"Let's go!"
He shook his body, and surging magic power gushed out, completely wrapping Xiao Bai, and a wisp of magic power also attached to Black King.
Casually throwing out a few top-grade spirit stones, hitting the array groove.
With a move of his mind, the array started with a rumble.
Boom!
A mighty pillar of light shot up, tearing through the void, and then dissipated in an instant.
Hundreds of li away from this unnamed desert island, on the Yue Island of the Ten-Li Flat Lake, the blue-clothed woman was focusing on cultivating the herbs in the garden.
She was not good at pill refining, and planting these herbs was just to pass the leisure time.
If possible, when she saw Luo Chen again, she could give the other party a little surprise; after all, the other party was a pill refiner.
Some of the herbs in this courtyard were even lost, and she had spent great effort to cultivate them.
But when she could see him again, it was not something Cheng Haixin could know.
Suddenly!
She subconsciously looked up and stared into the distance.
A pillar of light shot up, tearing through the void and heading east; although it disappeared in an instant, it was still captured by her.
For some reason, the moment she saw the pillar of light, the woman's heart tightened for a moment.
"Strange."
Cheng Haixin muttered, stopped what she was doing, drove the escape light, and flew toward where the pillar of light appeared.
Not long after, she landed on the unnamed desert island, and then walked into the cave with trepidation.
A familiar aura rushed toward her.
The woman instantly pursed her lips tightly.
……
The teleportation array can be seen as an upgraded array of the Great Teleportation Array.
It does not throw people from one end to the other inexplicably, but teleports through the void.
But because of the huge spatial pressure, many people could not stay awake during the teleportation process, so there was that illusion of instant movement.
Luo Chen was already used to that feeling, only thinking that when he woke up, he would arrive at Cangwu Mountain.
But this time, it was exceptionally different.
He maintained a state of sobriety!
He clearly saw how he traveled through the void, one spatial node after another appeared before his eyes, and one layer of spatial fluctuations after another rippled
and swayed.
This wonderful experience was not only because he had condensed a Primordial Spirit before teleporting, leading to keen observation, but also because of a unique talent.
"Is it the spatial talent I got from Qingshuang?"
"It wasn't so obvious before!"
Thoughts turned, Luo Chen's eyes were deep, as if he could pierce through the void.
Xiao Bai beside him had already fainted, Black King's situation was slightly better, but its flesh had already begun to tremble, and Luo Chen specially supplemented it with a portion of magic power.
And in his sleeve, the Soul-Refining Banner made a slight cracking sound, but it disappeared in an instant.
With the power of the Fifth-Tier Kui Ox Ghost God, it was enough to survive this ultra-long-distance teleportation.
"Still smooth!"
Between heaven and earth turning upside down, Luo Chen grabbed Xiao Bai and Black King with both hands, and his figure appeared on the underground teleportation array platform.
Luo Chen looked around and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Cangwu Mountain had arrived!
Crisp footsteps sounded, and Luo Chen swept his spiritual sense, already knowing who had come.
Youquan, Deputy Hall Master of the Duzhen Hall.
At this point, Luo Chen should have retracted his spiritual sense.
But he inexplicably stopped his action and subconsciously looked upward.
A cold and familiar spiritual sense collided exactly with his.
Luo Chen's lips parted slightly, and he said in surprise: "You have reached Soul Transformation?"
