Chapter 1048: Extinguished with a finger, a contest of divine sense

A thousand years of birth in the Sinking Sea!

In ordinary times, the pitch-black seawater contained extremely strong corrosive power, especially against a cultivator's protective barrier.

Relying on this point, this sea area once became one of the sect-protecting barriers of the Yuan Mo Sect.

And once the Demon-Falling Land opened, the Sinking Sea would also erupt with Void Burning Winds that harmed the divine souls of cultivators; that was the truly terrifying place.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators did not dare to touch it.

Calculating the time, more than three hundred years had passed since the last opening of the Demon-Falling Land, already exceeding the opening pattern previously detected by Northern Sea cultivators.

But this time, the Demon-Falling Land did not open normally as before.

According to estimates by those with keen insights, this might be related to the fact that when the demon race broke out of the Night Demon Heaven back then, they diverted a large amount of Earth Qi from the Sinking Sea.

The demon monk Kong Chan was one of those with keen insights.

Otherwise, he would not have snuck into the Night Demon Heaven with Tai Sui, the Shark Emperor, and others, just to find a way to retrieve the Earth Qi and reopen the Sinking Sea.

"You said they went in?" Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, and he asked softly and carefully.

Kong Chan nodded solemnly, "That's right, this old man saw them go in with my own eyes."

"Why didn't you stop them?"

Kong Chan revealed a bitter smile, "It's not that this old man didn't want to, but their movements were too fast. This Black Demon Gu Shaoshang has been able to roam the chaotic Northern Sea for these few hundred years, and he has his own reliance, his personality is extremely vigilant. His younger sister has even more astonishing divine sense; once approached, they would be discovered. Most importantly…… the magic treasure in their hands is suspected to be a Spirit Treasure, this old man did not dare to act rashly."

Suspected to be a Spirit Treasure?

Luo Chen took a deep breath; the Black Demon Jar and the True Yang Crown were not just as simple as being suspected Spirit Treasures.

If the Refining Heaven Cauldron's artifact spirit hadn't lied to him back then, among the many treasures refined by the Refining Song Tianmo Lord in his life, there were three that existed beyond ordinary Spirit Treasures, known as Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures!

From Luo Chen's current understanding, Spirit Treasures are magic treasures that have birthed their own artifact spirits, possessing strong autonomy.

Whether it is tracking attacks or automatic body protection, etc., they are far more handy to control than magic treasure true artifacts.

And Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures are special precisely because of the two words "Heaven-Reaching".

Such treasures are not just as simple as having spirituality.

They have the effect of amplifying the power of Laws and boosting might!

The same Divine Ability, when performed by oneself, is completely different in might compared to when performed with a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure!

And the Black Demon Jar and the True Yang Crown were Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures on par with the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

Luo Chen sent people to find the Gu siblings; cutting weeds and eliminating roots was one thing, but secondly, he also had the intention of taking these two treasures by the way.

Back then, because of the dispute over the Nine Refining Beacon Fire and the Nirvana Sacred Fire, he missed out on the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

Even though he later relied on his own nourishment to raise the Yuan Tu Sword, a supreme treasure of slaughter, it was ultimately not a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

With ascension imminent, how could Luo Chen dislike having too many methods?

"Let's go, go in!"

Luo Chen took the lead and flew directly into the Sinking Sea.

Kong Chan was stunned for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and followed.

……

Deep within the Sinking Sea, a place filled with skeletons.

A figure was busy setting something up, and beside him was a petite and exquisite woman.

Watching her brother being so urgent, Gu Xiaolian finally couldn't help but say: "Brother, do we really have to go back?"

Gu Shaoshang's voice was hoarse, and he replied without raising his head: "We must go back!"

Gu Xiaolian's face carried worry, "But how come I feel we can't go back to the Demon-Falling Land again? Doesn't the Northern Sea also have rumors that it's best for a cultivator to only enter the Demon-Falling Land once in their life?"

Gu Shaoshang snorted coldly, "Rumors are just rumors; have you forgotten that Fairy Feileng entered the Demon-Falling Land twice?"

Seeing his sister still wanting to nag, and his setup being almost complete, he stood up and looked at the other party.

"Xiaolian, you must understand, the Northern Sea of today no longer has a place for us to stand; if we stay in the outside world, sooner or later we will be targeted by Nascent Soul great powers."

Gu Xiaolian pouted, her baby-fat face puffed up: "It's because you went too far, killing people and demons crazily, using their flesh, bones, and souls to refine the Black Demon Jar."

"That has nothing to do with it." Gu Shaoshang shook his head, "The Black Demon Jar and the True Yang Crown you wear have been too prominent in recent years, and many people have guessed they are suspected Spirit Treasures. Just this point alone is enough to make Nascent Soul great powers covet them. If they knew these two were Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, the entire Northern Sea, both human and demon races, would go crazy for them."

Gu Xiaolian blinked her eyes, is that so?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be about the same.

Although she could only exert the fur of the True Yang Crown, just relying on this fur, she was invincible within the Nascent Soul realm.

Brother Gu Shaoshang was even more of a genius, constantly digging into the potential of the Black Demon Jar; in just three hundred years, his cultivation had climbed to the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul, only one step away from the realm of a Great Cultivator.

"Xiaolian!"

"What's wrong?" Facing her brother's sudden solemn appearance, Gu Xiaolian didn't react for a moment.

Gu Shaoshang's originally handsome face now became somewhat sinister.

"Do you still remember the death of our father in Ming Zhaotian back then?"

Gu Xiaolian was startled, and then her face became sorrowful.

"I remember, it was the Desolate Loose Cultivator Luo Hai……"

"No, his name is Luo Chen! He is one of the top powerhouses in the world today, and even killed a Nascent Soul great power of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect by crossing realms!"

Gu Shaoshang said word by word, his language carrying incomparable hatred, and he knew Luo Chen's experiences by heart as if they were his own.

Clearly, he had never let go of that deep blood feud from beginning to end.

"Such a monstrous existence, even if I work harder and go crazier, I can only chase behind him for a lifetime, never able to surpass him."

"Only by returning to the Demon-Falling Land and taking all the Five Elements Heavenly materials to assist our cultivation will it be possible to advance to Nascent Soul and then take revenge."

"This is the true purpose of our return!"

Gu Xiaolian nodded, "Then I will listen to you, brother!"

Gu Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief, his face rarely revealing a smile.

Now the Black Demon Jar had been set up; even though the Earth Qi was lacking and the timing was not yet right, relying on this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, he could also open a passage to enter.

And the commotion would not be too big, making it hard to attract attention.

The current Northern Sea cultivation world was not suitable for peaceful cultivation; only by returning to the Demon-Falling Land and taking all the Five Elements Heavenly materials could they break through to the Late Nascent Soul stage, or even the Nascent Soul realm!

A cyclone rose from under his feet; that was the entrance to the Demon-Falling Land.

Gu Shaoshang stepped into it, looked back at the Sinking Sea one last time, his gaze carrying a bit of lingering attachment.

I wonder how long it will take to come out after going in this time……

A glance!

Gu Shaoshang was suddenly stunned.

Only to see the sea ripples spreading, and two figures suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The realm of the bald monk among them, he could see at a glance, was a genuine Late Nascent Soul.

And that bald monk, at this moment, was following behind another young man with incomparable respect, even to the point of being called humble.

Then, what exactly was the cultivation of this somewhat familiar young man?

Familiar?

Gu Shaoshang blurted out, "It's you!"

Responding to him was the boundless illusion brought by a cold glance, and a streak of crimson sword Qi before the sinking illusion.

Whoosh!

The sword Qi broke through the air, forcibly squeezed into the cyclone, and hit Gu Shaoshang's body heavily.

Bang!

Inside the cyclone, blood mist exploded.

Following it was the woman's mournful cry that shook the heavens.

"Brother!"

Immeasurable light erupted from the woman, obscuring everything and illuminating the Sinking Sea.

It blew the more sword Qi that followed into pieces.

When all the noise returned to calm, the cyclone had already dissipated, leaving only one old and one young figure.

"It's the entrance." Kong Chan observed for a moment and made the correct judgment.

Luo Chen naturally knew, but what he cared about was not this point, but the life and death of the two siblings.

Gu Shaoshang should be dead, dead beyond dead.

With his current divine soul strength, performing Mirror Flower Water Moon already had different changes.

When the mirror breaks and the water is chaotic, that is the moment the flower withers and the moon passes; that represents the destruction of the divine soul sinking within.

That streak of Red Heaven sword Qi was also enough to destroy Gu Shaoshang's physical body.

As for that woman Gu Xiaolian……

"She should still be alive; that True Yang Crown protected her at the critical moment, and she should have escaped into the Demon-Falling Land."

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure!

Facing the attack of a Nascent Soul great power, even the person involved didn't react, but that True Yang Crown could achieve automatic protection of the master.

If it weren't for this, Luo Chen would have already thoroughly cut weeds and eliminated roots.

Kong Chan looked at the dissipated cyclone and asked cautiously: "Should we go in?"

Luo Chen did not answer, his face revealing a thoughtful expression.

Go in?

He didn't have the method to enter the Demon-Falling Land on hand.

Although he also had two Spirit Treasures personally refined by the Refining Song Tianmo Lord, one was the Bone-Burial Umbrella that was already in the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect before the Demon Lord passed away, and one was the Yuan Tu Sword that only fully opened its intelligence later.

Neither of these two knew how to return to the Demon-Falling Land in an abnormal opening state.

And!

Although a Nascent Soul great power is already the top existence in the Mountain Sea Realm, it is not invincible, and there are also many dangerous places that can threaten the safety of a Nascent Soul great power.

Like the Soul-Breaking Cliff that caused Sovereign Qixia to return heavily injured, like this Demon-Falling Land before him that once buried the Blood Sea Old Ancestor.

Forcibly breaking in is truly unwise!

"Let's go, go see an old friend first."

"Who?"

"He also entered the Demon-Falling Land, and obtained great opportunities, proving the Dao of Nascent Soul; asking him about some things is simpler." Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, and he flicked his sleeves and left.

Kong Chan was first dazed, then suddenly realized.

The person the Master spoke of had a great reputation, and no one in the entire Northern Sea did not know him.

It must be that Array Dao great power—Li Canghai!

……

Northern Sea, Edge of the Sky!

This place was the base camp of the former Canghai Righteous Alliance; in its heyday, cultivators were like clouds, and escape lights were like threads.

Even though the Canghai Righteous Alliance now exists in name only, and hegemon forces like the Demon Luo Flow and the Myriad Immortal Society have been blown away by the wind and rain, the Edge of the Sky is still extremely lively.

Only because this is the cultivation dojo of the only human great power in the Northern Sea!

The current Northern Sea cultivation world is extremely chaotic, performing scenes of demon beast invasions and killing for treasures every moment. Relatively speaking, the Edge of the Sky, with a great power sitting in town, is much safer.

Regardless of whether Li Canghai manages things or cares about the life and death of the ants below, those demon cultivators and demon cultivators will always give him some face and dare not make trouble on this one-third of an acre of land.

This day.

Above the Edge of the Sky, two figures suddenly appeared.

At the moment those two figures appeared, the owner of this place seemed to have sensed it, clouds and mist gathered in the sky, actually opening a large door in the void.

"Fellow Daoist, if you don't mind, why not come in for a while."

Luo Chen looked at that void portal, his eyes flickering.

After giving Kong Chan two instructions, he walked in calmly.

Once inside, rich spiritual energy rushed toward his face, and it also radiated many spiritual opportunities.

Looking around, the ocean was waveless, mountains stood tall, what a scene of a paradise away from the world.

Among them, several blurred scenes made Luo Chen feel familiar in his heart.

Spirit Mountain of the Ice Extreme Sect!

Lankeshan Mountain Range!

Two names popped out, and then Luo Chen's vision moved down, and he saw an old man rowing a boat on the calm sea, revealing a kind smile toward him.

"Dare to enter my Mountain Sea Seal, it seems Fellow Daoist has indeed proven the Dao of Nascent Soul, congratulations, congratulations!"

Sure enough!

Luo Chen's guess in his heart was verified; this realm was a world of its own, seemingly at the Edge of the Sky, but actually in another piece of space.

Inside the other party's Mountain Sea Seal.

The Yuan Tu Sword in his body had a slight tremor, appearing somewhat restless; clearly, it did not like this environment.

Luo Chen suppressed the restlessness of the Spirit Treasure and landed gracefully on that small boat.

"Please!" Li Canghai reached out to invite him.

Luo Chen sat down generously.

Waves spread out beside him, and a beautiful figure floated out from the sea, holding a silver bottle, pouring wine for the two.

When the wine flowers bloomed, smiles also bloomed on the faces of the two.

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze from the woman who looked like a mermaid and looked at Li Canghai, "You are truly comfortable, the outside world is chaotic, yet you hide in these mountains and seas, extremely leisurely."

Li Canghai raised his wine cup, took a small sip, and then spat out a breath of wine.

"Hoo…… what does the chaos of the outside world have to do with me? Our cultivation is just to seek longevity and obtain freedom, isn't it?"

Luo Chen nodded in approval, but also somewhat disapproved, "At least making the doorstep clean, isn't that better?"

For a Nascent Soul great power, the so-called doorstep naturally does not just refer to this one-third of an acre of the Edge of the Sky, but refers generally to the vast Northern Sea cultivation world.

The Northern Sea cultivation world of today is indeed too noisy.

Because of the demon race's rampage, because of the demons and monsters running rampant.

Li Canghai's eyebrows furrowed, and he began to look at Luo Chen carefully.

Opposite him, the man's appearance was still excessively young, and the other party's cultivation years were also excessively young.

At this moment, sitting there, like a pine or cypress, like a great mountain, towering and majestic.

But under the calm-as-water face, it seemed to contain a vigorous and scorching heat like a volcano.

Such a distinct temperament, a realm that did not show any signs, could not see the other party's true realm at all.

One must know, this is inside his carefully refined Spirit Treasure Mountain Sea Seal!

Li Canghai actually couldn't see through Luo Chen's strength.

Is this still the performance of someone who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?

Li Canghai said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Luo, is this 'when poor, cultivate oneself, when successful, help the world', wanting to make a big move after first becoming Nascent Soul?"

"A big move is not quite it, but one cannot let those two demon race great powers run rampant!" Luo Chen raised his wine cup, sniffed it, and then drank it in one gulp. "Good wine!"

Li Canghai was slightly silent, and after a long while, he smiled bitterly: "It seems you still have reservations about the fact that the Sea Emperor Whale and the Northern Li Great Sage almost attacked you back then!"

Luo Chen did not confirm, nor did he deny.

If it weren't for Qing Shuang standing on his side at that time, and Li Canghai coming forward to mediate, I'm afraid he would have been taken advantage of by others.

Li Canghai shook his head, "Fellow Daoist has just become Nascent Soul, not in a hurry to stabilize the realm, but wanting to make a big move, aren't you afraid of damaging your Dao practice?"

"Stabilize the realm?"

Luo Chen muttered, the corners of his mouth lifted.

Divine sense slowly spread out.

Li Canghai realized something and also released his own divine sense.

The moment the divine senses collided, Primordial Spirit phantoms appeared behind each of them, and in the world of the Mountain Sea Seal, it set off stormy waves, and the mountains shook. ===== CHAPTER 1049 =====
