Chapter 1036
"Kong Chan, you stay in the North Sea and help me find out about the Black Demon and the Gu siblings."
After leaving this sentence, Luo Chen hurried away in Kong Chan's bewildered gaze.
The super teleportation array on Mount Cangwu extends in all directions, and the teleportation points established almost cover the five continents of the former Shanhai World.
As far as Luo Chen knew before, there was one in the Xintian Sea area of the North Sea, and two in the Buddha Mother Temple of the Western Desert.
And not far from the North Sea, near a secret location in the Central State, there was also such a teleportation stronghold.
This was only mastered by Luo Chen after he became the Du Zhen Hall Master.
At this moment, He Qingzi sent a message, and Luo Chen prepared to use this teleportation array without hesitation.
On the way, Luo Chen's face was gloomy, and his heart was extremely confused.
Qixia Yuanjun's situation, no matter what rumors are outside, at least in his opinion, it is definitely not good!
After several great wars, each time against a complete holy land, the injuries left on her by the terrifying foundation of the Soul Transformation holy land can be described as extremely serious.
Especially the battle at Broken Soul Cliff!
The five elders of Tianyuan used the spirit treasure Burial Bone Umbrella to set up a great array, fighting her to the death, and at the last moment, they even awakened the Void Refinement Great Desolate Hanging Soul Desolation!
That is an existence capable of hurting Qixia Yuanjun's soul.
Now that she has recuperated for only a hundred years, she is completely healed?
Even able to withstand the pressure of ascension?
Luo Chen has great doubts about this.
Under Luo Chen's full-speed flight without counting the loss of magic power, he found that teleportation stronghold in just half a day. It was hidden in a sea trench on the seabed, which was very secret.
Luo Chen checked it, confirmed that there was no problem, held the Du Zhen Great Seal, and activated it in an instant.
Like the last time he took the North Sea teleportation array, during the teleportation process, he still maintained a clear state.
And he saw more clearly than last time how he traveled through the void, one space node after another appeared before his eyes, and one layer after another of spatial fluctuations rippled out.
"Short-distance movement has never had this situation. This ultra-long-distance teleportation across continents has allowed me to clearly perceive the changes. In the dark, the spatial talent given to me by Qing Shuang seems to have grown again."
But at this moment, Luo Chen had no intention of caring about these side details.
Keeping his mind tight, when he reappeared, it was already a different world.
Just as he walked out of the teleportation array, a huge force pressed down.
Luo Chen couldn't react in time and subconsciously staggered two steps.
This made him terrified!
What kind of pressure would make him so uncomposed? You must know that not long ago, he had faced the great power Lian Cheng.
Not only that, the surroundings were filled with invisible pressure, and even his
divine sense could not be released too far.
"Could it be that the ascension has already begun?"
Luo Chen's face was solemn, and he quickly headed towards the ground.
As soon as he left the Du Zhen Hall, in his line of sight, he saw demon cultivators sitting on the ground, looking up at the distant sky.
Luo Chen moved forward step by step, walking like flying, making those demon cultivators widen their eyes.
Under that terrifying pressure before ascension, let alone walking, they couldn't even stand, but Luo Chen could walk like flying.
But thinking of Luo Chen's feat twenty years ago, it seemed natural.
Luo Chen moved forward while looking up at the sky, his brows furrowed even more, his eyes full of confusion.
Wrong!
Completely wrong!
He had seen the scene of a Soul Transformation great power ascending with his own eyes, and more than once.
But the situation above Mount Cangwu at this moment gave people a very wrong feeling.
"He Qingzi!"
Luo Chen's steps stopped on the empty square in front of the Du Zhen Hall, where He Qingzi was struggling to sit on the ground.
Hearing Luo Chen's voice, He Qingzi said happily: "Hall Master, you are back."
"Yes." Luo Chen lowered his head and asked: "Tell me what's going on?"
He Qingzi said without hesitation, telling the changes of a few days ago, and even these decades.
"A few days ago, Deputy Hall Master You Quan told us directly that they would ascend soon, and asked us not to run around these days."
"Hearing this news, we were all caught off guard."
"But in fact, for these decades, Mount Cangwu has always had small changes. The spiritual energy within tens of thousands of miles has been transferred to the Tongxuan Hall. Yuanjun and the others must have made preparations."
Luo Chen tightened his face, listening carefully to He Qingzi's words.
Suddenly!
He caught the key word.
"They?"
Before He Qingzi could answer, Luo Chen suddenly looked up at the void, golden light blooming in his eyes, and he had fully unfolded his Red Eye Golden Pupils.
Boom!
Mount Cangwu moved.
An ancient aura permeated, as if this mountain that had stood in the Eastern Wasteland for countless years had come alive.
An overbearing aura erupted from the Tongxuan Hall.
Amidst the rolling clouds and hissing wind, a solid figure appeared in everyone's eyes.
That was a divine phoenix!
With colorful feathers all over its body, its whole body was shrouded in red light, and there was a halo condensed from golden flames on top of its head.
It just hovered in the void, without flapping its wings much, giving people the illusion that it was about to ride the wind and go.
But at this moment, Luo Chen had another strange feeling.
Yes!
Qixia Yuanjun's primordial spirit release at this moment reached the limit of Luo Chen's cognition.
Whether it was Chu Yan, the Pill Saint who had just entered Soul Transformation, or the Youli God Monarch who had taken a half-step into the Void Refinement stage, their primordial spirits were far inferior to Qixia Yuanjun at this moment.
But?
"No spiritual energy!"
"Why is there no spiritual energy!"
Luo Chen stared fixedly at that location, bloodshot eyes frantically permeating his golden-light-filled eyes, as if he wanted to see everything.
However, in his observation, the most counter-intuitive anomaly appeared.
When a Soul Transformation cultivator ascends, whether it is an active ascension or a forced ascension when the realm reaches the limit, the world will draw in a large amount of spiritual energy to help the person ascend.
Its name—Xia Ju!
Pill Saint Chu Yan was like this, and Youli God Monarch was also like this.
But after Qixia Yuanjun released her primordial spirit, she did not draw in any spiritual energy, and it was even said that wisps of electric light began to permeate above the nine heavens.
Thunder Tribulation!
"Why did the signs of thunder tribulation appear again?" Luo Chen bit his lip, his face furrowed, "When Chu Yan ascended back then, it was smooth sailing. Because Mo Shouzhuo, the master of the Dao Sect, forcibly intercepted a portion of spiritual energy into the Mirage Dragon Cave, it also attracted signs of thunder tribulation. At this moment, why is Qixia?"
Just as Luo Chen was thinking frantically, an anomaly occurred in the outside world unknowingly.
Hum...
A wisp of hazy green light permeated from the Tongxuan Hall.
The aura of that green light was extremely weak, like wild grass on the side of the road, making people subconsciously ignore it.
But as it permeated and rose, the green light became more and more tough and dense, until it filled the world, and even covered Qixia Yuanjun.
The divine fire phoenix did not block it at all, letting the green light wrap and cover it.
After this action, the signs of thunder tribulation in the sky seemed to have lost their target, and faintly had signs of dissipating in confusion.
"This green light?"
Luo Chen was astonished.
"It is Lord Qinghe Immortal." He Qingzi showed rare reverence in her eyes. Even when facing Qixia Yuanjun, she was only afraid, but under that green light, she was full of reverence. Being able to cultivate from the weakest Qinghe grass in the Million Mountains to the level of spiritual Soul Transformation, even if her combat power was not strong, it was still respectable.
He Qingzi shifted her gaze, looking at Luo Chen's chin raised high.
"Aren't you asking who they are?"
"The answer is right in front of you."
"This ascension is not one person, but three!"
It seemed to be to verify her words, and the next moment, a loud cry resounded through the universe.
A white light broke through the air and headed straight for the nine heavens.
Boom!
With just one impact, the thunder tribulation that didn't know why it came dissipated into nothingness.
The white light returned suddenly, manifesting a slightly illusory and handsome green bird figure.
She soared gracefully in the air, circling around the huge, motionless fire phoenix.
As she danced, and as the green light permeated, the world became peaceful again.
Especially under the gaze of Luo Chen's Red Eye Golden Pupils, he noticed countless spiritual energy surging from all directions, turning into pieces of rosy light, falling on the soaring green bird, on the swaying grass, and also on... the divine bird phoenix!
Luo Chen clenched his fists suddenly.
Faintly, he seemed to understand something.
Qixia Yuanjun is not a local demon cultivator, but a great demon who came down from the Profound World.
She not only seized the power of this world, but also started wars several times, destroying mountains and burning seas, hitting the world's cycle.
Such an existence, if the Shanhai World has potential consciousness, how could it let her leave, let alone help her ascend.
Even in Luo Chen's view, if Qixia Yuanjun started a war again, this world might descend the most severe heavenly punishment and beat her to form and spirit destruction.
But Qing Shuang and Qinghe Immortal are solid local creatures.
Their success is gratifying. If they want to go far, the heaven and earth, as parents, naturally have to give "travel expenses".
Sending spiritual energy and lifting with rosy light is the greatest help.
I don't know what means Qixia Yuanjun used to bind the two together with her, confuse the heavenly secrets, and want to ascend together.
"However, can the spiritual energy drawn by just two Soul Transformation great powers help her escape this world and ascend to the Immortal World?"
After the shock, Luo Chen began to doubt whether Qixia Yuanjun could succeed.
The amount of spiritual energy drawn during Xia Ju ascension is indeed very large, but it is often only enough for one person.
Qing Shuang and Qinghe Immortal joining forces to ascend might have differences, but this scope is not much larger.
At least from Luo Chen's observation at this moment, the amount of spiritual energy outside the three primordial spirits is only two or three times more than when Chu Yan ascended, far from reaching the level of qualitative change that can lift another person to ascend.
"Wait!"
"What if it's not ascending to the Immortal World?"
"Tongxuan Hall... Profound World!"
Just as Luo Chen made a bold guess, a wisp of starlight came from outside the sky and fell into the Tongxuan Hall.
The starlight seemed to have a pull, forming a huge pillar of light with the Tongxuan Hall.
The three figures sat opposite each other inside, rising slowly.
The pillar of light was outside, and the three huge primordial spirits had a sense, flying back into the main body simultaneously.
Bathing in the brilliant
starlight, the three figures flew slowly into the high sky, and a door had opened a gap above the nine heavens.
Luo Chen spat out two words hoarsely: "Star Gate!"
Yes, if he didn't see it wrong, that familiar starlight channel was the one that appeared when Pill Saint Chu Yan ascended back then, a channel formed by the Star Gate.
Moreover, if he didn't guess wrong, Qixia Yuanjun's plan was actually very simple: borrow the spiritual energy drawn when Qinghe Immortal and Qing Shuang ascended to help her escape the suppression of this world, and then open a road to the Profound World by the Dao Sect's spirit treasure Star Gate. In this way, Qixia Yuanjun could leave this small world cage that made her restricted everywhere, as if raising a canary.
All kinds of past events were to seize the Star Gate.
Forcibly breaking into the Mingyuan Sect to save Qinghe Immortal and vigorously cultivating Qing Shuang, the purpose was to borrow the power of the two's ascension.
Luo Chen had expected the seizure of the Star Gate long ago.
But the latter, until this moment, he suddenly woke up.
It's just...
Luo Chen subconsciously touched his heart, slightly sad.
"Too anxious."
"I haven't reached Soul Transformation yet, and I haven't had time to untie the life-and-death worm with Qing Shuang."
"Now, I haven't even said a word of farewell face-to-face, and we are separated like this."
It seemed that they had a tacit understanding. At the moment of Luo Chen's sadness, the green-clothed woman sitting silently in the starlight channel opened her eyes and looked at him gloomily.
Separated by thousands of miles, their eyes met, and everything was unspoken.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, then bowed.
"Wish Fellow Daoist ascension to the upper realm, see you again in the Immortal World!"
The others didn't know the truth, and at this moment, they sent congratulations one after another.
"Congratulations to Yuanjun for Xia Ju ascension!"
They only thought that the three were lifted by rosy light as in the legend, ascending to the Immortal World.
But in fact, they just went to a larger Profound World.
When the starlight channel gradually dissipated and the three figures finally disappeared, the terrifying pressure that had accumulated within tens of thousands of miles of Mount Cangwu suddenly emptied.
Everyone felt relieved.
Countless birds made joyful sounds, forming a grand queue, soaring above Mount Cangwu.
A hundred birds facing the phoenix, unfortunately, the phoenix had already gone far away.
He Qingzi's excited mood gradually calmed down, and she stood up, "Hall Master..."
"You wait here!"
Luo Chen left this sentence, then floated up and headed towards the towering Tongxuan Hall.
Behind him, a group of demon cultivators looked at each other, inexplicably having a bit of panic and uneasiness in their hearts.
Qixia Yuanjun has ascended, and with her, two great powers, Qing Shuang and Qinghe Immortal, have also gone.
In this way, Mount Cangwu no longer has a Soul Transformation great power, so who should be served as the master?
He Qingzi seemed to notice the restlessness of others, and suddenly turned around and looked at everyone fiercely.
"The Du Zhen Hall Master is still here, do you still have other intentions?"
"From now on, the master of Mount Cangwu is Luo Chen!"
"Who dares to disobey?!"
Under her glare, everyone bowed their heads.
Or rather, what made them bow their heads was more of the powerful martial force that Luo Chen had displayed more than once.
Swoosh!
The clouds and mist scattered like cotton, and a figure landed in front of the Tongxuan Hall gate.
His gaze fell on the woman kneeling in front of the gate.
Even though she was kneeling, she showed a graceful figure, especially the round moon buttocks that were completely different from her slender waist.
"Yue Nu pays respects to the Du Zhen Hall Master!"
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, staring at this woman.
"Raise your head."
The woman slowly raised her head, revealing a face as pure as a moon palace fairy, which was in extreme contrast to her naturally seductive and hot figure, but at this moment, the woman's eyes were full of panic.
"Yue Wanderer, you are Yuanjun's moon-admiring maid. Now that Yuanjun has ascended, you can leave Mount Cangwu, why are you still staying here?"
"Without orders, Yue Nu dare not leave."
"Is it dare not, or reluctant?" Luo Chen asked with a half-smile.
Yue Wanderer lowered her head in panic, "Hall Master is overthinking."
"Hmph!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly, not wanting to entangle with her for now.
With both hands, he pushed open the heavy door.
Luo Chen walked in without any hesitation.
Behind her, Yue Wanderer carefully raised her head, but only slightly, allowing her to vaguely see Luo Chen's back.
The panic in her eyes had long since vanished, replaced by a trace of greed and jealousy.
Inside the main hall of the Tongxuan Hall, it was already empty.
Even You Quan, whom Luo Chen thought was there, was not here; perhaps she had also left with Qixia Yuanjun and the others.
Above the great hall, on the table in front of the soft couch, a green feather was placed quietly.
Luo Chen sat upright on the soft couch, took a deep breath, and picked up the green feather.
The message left inside flowed into his mind like a cold spring stream.
[Luo Chen, when you see this item, I have already left the Shanhai World...]
