Chapter 518: Bird into the Blue Sky, Fish into the Great Sea

"Hmm..."

A muffled groan was emitted from the mouth of a young man in tattered clothes, covered in cracked wounds, after an unknown amount of time had passed.

In the dim and dark environment, Luo Chen sat up with difficulty.

With his head dizzy and heavy, his gaze fell on the two objects in his hand for the first time.

One was a quiet three-inch black wooden figurine, and the other was a withered green feather that had lost its luster.

Looking at these two objects, Luo Chen recalled the scene of the previous teleportation.

When that spatial teleportation array was activated, a huge pressure that was hard to match squeezed in from all directions.

Even though he was proficient in the way of body refinement and possessed a powerful physical body of the third-stage ancient wild beast, he still felt like his physical body was about to collapse under that terrifying giant force.

Fortunately, the green feather in his hand bloomed with green light at the very last moment, completely wrapping him and Han Zhan.

Then, the green light flashed and merged into the array.

At that moment, Luo Chen saw the stars shifting, glimpsed the four seas and five continents, and even countless peculiar places in the Shanhai Realm.

And at that moment, Luo Chen realized that the teleportation array located at Mount Mount Cangwu covered an incredibly vast area, far beyond the understanding of the many ordinary teleportation arrays he had read about in classics.

This kind of teleportation array shouldn't have appeared in the Shanhai Realm at all!

Because of this, he was even more terrified of Sovereign Sovereign Qixia, this ancient Soul Transformation demonic cultivator who had never shown her face.

Occupying a fifth-stage sacred ground in the Eastern Wasteland with her own strength.

A single method left behind made all Nascent Soul cultivators unable to block it, and even Soul Transformation powerhouses had to give way.

And the teleportation array she arranged was even more magnificent.

"Such a person is truly brilliant and unparalleled; I wonder where she came from?"

Vaguely, Luo Chen thought of some rumors he had occasionally heard during his time living on Mount Mount Cangwu.

It is said that Sovereign Sovereign Qixia rose a thousand years ago.

At that time, she obtained the upper-realm Phoenix inheritance from the Lianxia Mountain Range, which had not yet been renamed the Yuding Region.

Since then, she had always used "Sovereign Qixia" as her Daoist name.

Sovereign Qixia, Sovereign Qixia, meaning dwelling in Lianxia.

However, later, the Yuding Sword Sect, supported by the Eastern Wasteland sacred ground Mingyuan Sect, launched a war to open up the Lianxia Mountain Range. At that time, Sovereign Sovereign Qixia did not want to fight with the Mingyuan Sect, and she herself wanted to find a spiritual vein suitable for her cultivation realm, so she took the initiative to retreat and entered the depths of the Eastern Wasteland.

Therefore, she left behind He He Qingzi, who was the only one there at the time, to guard the Lianxia Mountain Range alone.

As for how He He Qingzi later was subdued by the then-Golden Core stage Cloud Crane Supreme, or took a fancy to Cloud Crane Supreme, that was another matter.

"Looking at it this way, the legend of the Heavenly Phoenix falling into the Lianxia Mountain Range that I often heard at the Great River Market back then must be seventy or eighty percent credible."

"Otherwise, how could this realm create such a powerful demonic cultivator!"

His brain was dizzy and heavy, and miscellaneous thoughts rose and fell.

Luo Chen suddenly woke up!

At this time, how could he think about these irrelevant things?

His hand tightened, using a slight amount of force.

Ssh...

The green feather on his right hand, subjected to external force, instantly turned into a pile of ash.

As Luo Chen flicked his hand, it drifted and fell to the ground.

"The power contained within it has completely dissipated!"

This green feather was just a temporary token You Quan gave him to enter and exit the dungeon and take Nascent Soul essence blood from Tian Tian Yezi.

To be honest, being able to be used to temporarily activate the teleportation array as a key was already an unexpected joy.

By now, it was completely useless.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, first took out a bottle of peak-grade Starry Sky Pills from his storage ring, swallowed them like a cow chewing a peony, and without waiting to refine them, stood up from the ground.

Turning around, he gripped the Profound Fire Sword in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed down!

That exquisite and complex teleportation array instantly lost a corner.

Luo Chen carefully put that stone corner into his storage ring.

In this way, the teleportation array was destroyed, and the enemies shouldn't be able to chase him.

"However, enemies from Mount Mount Cangwu can't come over, but I have to be careful to deal with the powerful enemies who might come from the White Bone Dao Palace."

Luo Chen pursed his dry lips and walked out quietly.

He couldn't wait here to recover to a complete state before seeking escape.

He had to escape in advance before the people from the White Bone Dao Palace reacted!

He walked out carefully, his exposed skin covered in black lines, which was a sign that the Hidden Array was activated to the limit.

With this Great Perfection array, even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't notice his aura unless they stared at him deliberately.

One step, two steps...

Luo Chen sniffed his nose and smelled a salty, moist scent.

A place where demonic pythons gather shouldn't be fishy and smelly?

Why so salty and damp?

Just as he was puzzled, he had completely walked out of the cave.

Lifting the curtain made of thick vines, Luo Chen stood on the hillside, staring at the scenery outside in astonishment.

Sea and sky of one color, boundless!

Ten thousand miles of blue ocean, waves rising and falling!

Strands of rosy light shone down from the clouds on the horizon, reflecting a golden yellow in the far distance.

It was the time of sunset, when tired birds return to their nests.

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva, and an absurd feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"How could the Great Snow Mountain have such a scene?"

The unfamiliar environment made Luo Chen unable to accept his current situation for a while.

But soon, with his super strong adaptability, he forced himself to accept his current situation.

This was definitely not the Great Snow Mountain!

Nor was it any place he was familiar with!

And from the landform features, he couldn't tell where it was.

Of course, if described according to the descriptions of the Shanhai Realm in some classics, there were only a few places with such a boundless, huge ocean.

East Ming Abyss, South Ocean, North Sea.

And the East Ming Abyss is rumored to have always been shrouded in dense nether energy and ghost mist, pitch black, so this place is definitely not the East Ming Abyss.

Then only the South Ocean and North Sea remain.

The South Ocean has many strange insects, the North Sea is full of demons and monsters, neither of which are good places!

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly, and he retreated quietly, his sleeves brushing lightly to wipe away the aura he had left outside.

When he returned to the cave engraved with the teleportation array, he fell into silence for a while.

What he could be sure of now was that a huge mistake must have occurred during the teleportation!

Otherwise, Han Zhan said it was the Great Snow Mountain, so how could they have come to this place of the endless ocean.

And at that time, the powerful force Han Zhan left behind was likely not aimed at him, but intended to deal with the White Bone Mysterious Snake in the White Bone Dao Palace of the Great Snow Mountain.

It was just that the other party didn't expect that a trace of the bizarre flame, weakened countless times, would not only exhaust Han Zhan's backup plan but also seriously injure him, to the point where he hadn't woken up yet.

His deep gaze fixed on the charcoal-like black wooden figurine.

Luo Chen suddenly felt a murderous intent.

He could clearly perceive Han Zhan's weakness at this moment; it was a weakness that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily wipe him out.

A faint divine soul, curled up in the black wooden figurine, unable to get the nourishment of the sea of consciousness derived from the physical body.

The other party's injuries were recovering extremely slowly.

Should he kill him?

Evil thoughts arose!

Luo Chen had seen the power of Nascent Soul existences too many times.

Even the weakest early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was definitely not something a Golden Core cultivator could contend with.

Even if the other party was left with only a wisp of remnant soul and had no sense of threat.

But Han Zhan was most proficient in divine soul attacks and puppet control.

Who knew if he could use a wisp of remnant soul to launch some bizarre attack?

Leaving such a threat by his side was definitely not a wise move.

Killing him was the right way!

Luo Chen flipped his wrist, and a green flame permeated his palm; as long as he struck, Han Zhan's remnant soul would completely disappear between heaven and earth.

As for whether he would fall into reincarnation or lose the chance to reincarnate and re-cultivate, that was not something Luo Chen could predict.

The cold heat gradually approached the black wooden figurine.

But in the end, Luo Chen waved his hand and dissipated the Withered Glory True Fire.

"Forget it! Forget it!"

He remembered the many favors the Luoyun Sect had shown him along the way.

Whether it was the deal between Tian Tian Xingzi and him during the Battle of Incense Valley, or the Luoyun Sect Golden Core Qu Qu Xibai actively opening the Immortal City restriction to help him advance when he reached the Golden Core stage, or even under the Thousand Leaves Peak, when he was invaded by the Golden Wolf King's demonic energy, Han Zhan's help.

Although Luo Chen also had many returns in these events, overall, both sides could be considered sincere cooperation.

Especially!

Luo Chen recalled the scene when the spatial teleportation array was activated.

At that time, Han Zhan had already been seriously injured by the Nirvana Sacred Fire, and must have known that even if the teleportation was successful, he would be powerless and could only be slaughtered.

But even so, he still handed the Green Luan Feather to him.

"Do not betray me!"

Han Zhan's low shout still echoed in his ears.

Luo Chen shook his head.

"If others treat me with sincerity, I should treat them with sincerity!"

He extinguished the thought of killing Han Zhan.

But Luo Chen didn't do nothing.

Instead, with a thought, he took out an object from his storage ring.

Hunyuan Cauldron!

Looking at this cauldron, Luo Chen's eyes revealed a look of both love and fear.

Whose life-bound magic treasure doesn't listen to their own commands?

However, Tian Tian Yezi had already fallen, and there should be no one else in this world who could control this treasure, even Han Zhan and Qing Shuang, who had participated in the refining, couldn't do it to that extent.

After all, Tian Tian Yezi was an alchemy master, and Luo Chen was the master of this treasure, while the others only added one or two arrays.

They couldn't reach the level of the guest becoming the host.

"The Hunyuan Cauldron itself has the effects of suppression, imprisonment, and locking, which is just right for this place!"

Luo Chen cast a magic seal, and chains stretched out from the gray small cauldron.

Unlike the green chains Tian Tian Yezi summoned, the red chains Luo Chen summoned were red.

One represented wind-type magic power, and the other represented fire-type magic power.

The chains slowly wrapped around the black wooden figurine, and then slowly pulled it into the cauldron.

In this way, the inside and outside were completely isolated, preventing Han Zhan from spying on Luo Chen or doing any tricks to attack.

Even if the other party woke up, without Luo Chen opening the Hunyuan Cauldron, he could only honestly stay inside.

"Wait until he wakes up, then I'll negotiate with him and see what he says!"

"If it really doesn't work, then we'll go our separate ways."

"At least it will be a good ending."

After muttering to himself, Luo Chen looked around, then randomly found a place, sat cross-legged, and operated his life-bound cultivation method.

At this moment, his realm was somewhat unstable.

He had just broken through to the third layer of the Golden Core stage and then went to find Tian Tian Yezi, so his small realm hadn't been consolidated at all.

A super-long-distance spatial teleportation consumed even more of his magic power.

In such a state, it was not suitable for him to go out and venture.

Even if the spiritual energy environment here was thin, it was better than nothing.

In the dim cave, it gradually became quiet, with only the rhythmic breathing of the tattered-clothed Daoist, swallowing the little spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.

Half a month later.

Luo Chen slowly woke up from his quiet cultivation.

First, he observed the silent Hunyuan Cauldron, confirming that Han Zhan hadn't woken up yet.

Then, he naturally opened the attribute panel.

The transparent panel unfolded like water, visible only to Luo Chen, and his eyes instantly became focused.

【Achievement Points: 101】

The vivid entries caused ripples in Luo Chen's heart.

"A 124-year-old Golden Core 3rd Layer, in the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, this can be considered one of the best among the geniuses!"

Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Such a fast cultivation speed, even the true disciples of the upper sects couldn't catch up.

Like that Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator Yu Jade Jiao Long of the Mengquan Cave, she would also be slightly inferior.

In fact, Luo Chen wasn't that fast at the beginning.

After forming his core, he spent ten years just to consolidate his realm and reach the Golden Core 1st Layer.

And the reason why he broke through two small realms in the following fourteen years, which should have been even more difficult and longer, was mainly because he solved the external resource dilemma.

Whether it was the increase in proficiency of his life-bound cultivation method, or obtaining a third-stage spiritual land suitable for long-term cultivation, all had been of great help to him.

Especially!

He also refined a large number of high-grade and peak-grade Starry Sky Pills to assist his cultivation.

Peak-grade third-stage pills!

In the entire Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, who else could be so extravagant?

Luo Chen even suspected that even the Golden Core cultivators of the Mingyuan Sect couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment.

After all, high-grade pills were still normal, but peak-grade pills didn't fit the cost-performance ratio at all; that was purely exchanging resources for time, and a big loss at that.

Luo Chen could do it himself, but the big sects couldn't bear to make such extravagant investments in their own disciples.

Besides these, the "Micro-Dust Origin Art" he created himself also contributed greatly.

Counting from the day it was created, he had cultivated it for a full thirty-plus years.

By now, it had reached the Great Perfection realm.

If he were still in the Zhu Luotian Sect, Luo Chen would probably have already transcribed a simplified version of the "Micro-Dust Origin Art," and it would have at least a mid-grade, or even high-grade level!

Cultivators using this to assist in core formation would have a higher success rate than other high-grade core formation secret methods!

"Finally, the key to my breakthrough from Golden Core 2nd Layer to Golden Core 3rd Layer in a short time was the peak-grade third-stage spiritual vein of Mount Mount Cangwu, and the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' I switched to!"

After sighing, Luo Chen's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

The former could be considered his own efforts, and he felt at ease, even very proud!

But the latter could be considered an opportunity.

A peak-grade third-stage spiritual vein, who else could enjoy it?

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," known as the ancestor of fire methods, let alone the Nascent Soul upper sects, even the Soul Transformation sacred grounds of the five continents might not necessarily possess it.

"There is great terror between life and death, but there is also great opportunity."

"Falling into the hands of the demonic clan of Mount Mount Cangwu, I had already prepared to be a bird in a cage for the rest of my life, a tool for others, but I gained a lot instead. Every drink and every peck is determined by heaven; the cycle of cause and effect is nothing more than this."

Luo Chen pursed his lips, feeling somewhat emotional for a while.

The time spent on Mount Mount Cangwu, thinking about it now, still felt somewhat unreal.

It wasn't self-pity, but it really felt like he was in a dream.

He hadn't been bullied or humiliated, nor had he been imprisoned all the time; instead, he had gained a lot.

He had talked and laughed with Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, and had even seen a Soul Transformation powerhouse take action personally.

Among the Golden Core cultivators in the world, how many could have such bizarre experiences as him?

The more he thought, the more he couldn't help but think deeply.

But Luo Chen had long been accustomed to cutting off messy thoughts, gathering his thoughts, and continuing to browse the attribute panel.

The increase in physical realm was not large; it had only improved by five progress points over so many years.

If his path of body refinement had realms, it could be considered to have reached the final stage of the early phase, and he would enter the middle phase after ten more progress points.

And this progress was brought about by the proficiency of the "Myriad Dao Convergence" cultivation method increasing by another hundred-plus points.

The progress of the physical body was slow, and Luo Chen naturally knew the reason.

One was because the cultivation method he created was too complex, even after simplifying it several times.

Second, he left the Heavenly Lan Immortal City and didn't have Bai Bai Meiling to make spiritual meals for him often, cutting off the simplest and fastest auxiliary supplement path of food supplementation.

Finally, Luo Chen also lacked pill formulas that could help with body refinement.

Of course, if Luo Chen relaxed his restrictions and wantonly slaughtered living beings, using the Primordial True Fire to refine the vitality of those demonic beasts, perhaps he could make his physical realm improve faster.

But doing so in the original environment would be too conspicuous and easily attract trouble.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen glanced at the Hunyuan Cauldron again.

A thought emerged vaguely.

"Not in a hurry for now, wait until he wakes up and then talk."

After muttering, Luo Chen's gaze slid down all the way.

In terms of magic arts, the 4th-stage Dragon Slaying Art reached the proficient level; this art could be cultivated more in the future, perhaps it would have miraculous effects.

The 3rd-stage Innate One Qi Great Handprint reached the Grandmaster level, and it wasn't far from Great Perfection.

This art was extremely comprehensive, and could be activated by the magic power of the five elements, each with its own effects.

However, its comprehensiveness would definitely decrease in the future.

As he switched to the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," the magic power contained in his Golden Core was all fire-type magic power.

The magic power of the other four elements would all be converted into fire-type.

In this way, the Innate One Qi Great Handprint could only be activated by fire-type magic power.

And if that were the case, this art would become the purest and most direct killing art.

"There are gains and losses; perhaps a single Great Handprint is stronger?"

In the 3rd-stage column, there were also Mirror Flower Water Moon, Micro-Dust Origin Art, and Severing Life Finger.

The first two had reached the Great Perfection realm after his many years of hard cultivation, and would definitely bring him more help in the future.

As for the Severing Life Finger, this bizarre magic art he obtained from Li Li Jinhuang, Luo Chen hadn't cultivated it much over the years.

He had tried to activate it a few times from demonic beasts, but the lifespan intercepted would often not stay long before disappearing.

At the same time, his own lifespan loss hadn't stopped either.

Since it couldn't increase the lifespan limit, nor could it replace his own lifespan loss, this art was too chicken-rib-like.

Perhaps it was just right for Li Li Jinhuang's situation back then!

After browsing the magic arts, there was nothing much to say about the other entries.

In terms of alchemy, he added the Burning Crane Hand exchanged from Mu Jiang Yunyi of the Luoyun Sect, which was just at the entry level, suitable for handling fire-attribute medicinal materials, especially when refining Core Formation Pills.

Entering the 4th-stage Transformation Pill, he promoted his profession attribute from a 3rd-stage alchemist to a 4th-stage one.

Starry Sky Pill and Emperor Flowing Pulp reached Great Perfection.

In terms of arrays, it was still 1st-stage.

But a group of 1st-stage basic arrays had all been cultivated to the Grandmaster or even Great Perfection level.

This was something he had painstakingly copied every day when he was bored at the Thousand Leaves Peak during the Xiaoyue Opening War.

He had originally intended to lay a foundation for refining his life-bound magic treasure.

Who would have thought that with Tian Tian Yezi's "help," he saved that effort.

Finally, it was the achievement points!

So many magic arts, pills, and arrays reaching Great Perfection had provided him with dozens of achievement points!

Even though he had consumed ten achievement points to enter the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" halfway through.

But now, he possessed a terrifying 101 points!

This was the most terrifying number of achievement points Luo Chen had ever mastered.

It could be said that because of these achievement points, Luo Chen felt full of security.

Now, as long as he was given any 4th-stage magic art, cultivation method, or even any 4th-stage pill formula, he could directly enter it without any difficulty!

After browsing the attribute panel, Luo Chen fell into a long silence.

What to do in the future?

Although he didn't know if this place was the South Ocean near the Southern Frontier, or the North Sea cultivation world known as the sea of demons and monsters, it was extremely far from the Eastern Wasteland.

It was even more unknown how many billions of miles away it was from his home, the Zhu Luotian Sect.

In the short term, he was afraid he couldn't go back.

And even if he went back, he would probably have to face the war between the Eastern Wasteland demonic clan and the Mingyuan Sacred Ground.

With his Golden Core early-stage realm, he wouldn't even be able to protect himself in such a great trend.

Especially, he also had the traitorous act of refining pills for the demonic clan. If this were known, it would instead implicate his Daoist partner and sect members.

"Sigh..."

With a long sigh, Luo Chen's originally excited mood became low.

Far away from his hometown, far away from those close to him, in a strange place—this encounter almost gave him a sense of confusion and helplessness as if he had transmigrated again.

The sect he had worked so hard to cultivate, the inheritance he left behind, his Daoist partner, disciples, friends, subordinates, the third-stage spiritual vein he had personally fought for...

All gone.

"No!"

"They aren't dead!"

"As long as I am still alive, there will be a day when I can go back."

Luo Chen regained his spirit.

So what if there was no third-stage spiritual vein?

The Shanhai Realm is vast, it's not like only the Eastern Wasteland has high-grade spiritual veins; can't he find one here?

Relying on his Golden Core realm, as long as he didn't unluckily provoke a Nascent Soul True Person, wouldn't he live comfortably anywhere?

Moreover, he still had a superb alchemy skill!

The most urgent task was to figure out his environment, then seek long-term development and continue his path of cultivation.

After sorting out his emotions, Luo Chen planned to close the attribute panel.

But before closing it, his heart moved.

As his realm became higher and higher, his knowledge became broader, and his lifespan became longer, the skills he learned would inevitably become more and more.

Browsing such a complex panel would be too troublesome.

So, with a thought.

The attribute panel rippled and turned into three chapters.

The first chapter was basic attributes, cultivation methods, magic arts, etc.

The second chapter was related to alchemy.

The third chapter became related to arrays.

If he learned other skills in the future, he would open new chapters then.

After tidying up everything, Luo Chen stood up calmly.

He put the Hunyuan Cauldron into his storage ring and left the quiet cave.

After coming out, he glanced at the cave entrance covered by vines.

The spiritual vein level of this place was extremely low, barely on the edge of the second stage, and bound by the array, it didn't show anything to the outside.

Luo Chen had cultivated quietly for half a month, almost sucking the spiritual energy of this place dry, and the level had even fallen to the 1st-stage low-grade level.

Almost breaking the foundation of the spiritual vein.

And the demonic cultivators of Mount Mount Cangwu didn't arrange other arrays to cover this place, only using natural forest vines and mountain rocks to form a natural maze illusion array, to prevent low-stage demonic beasts from accidentally breaking into this place.

"I don't need to do anything extra."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his eyes blooming with spiritual light, and he saw through the scene outside the mountain at a glance.

Following the flaws of the maze, he stepped out step by step, and finally leaped onto the ocean.

Clatter, the waves of the sea slapped against the shore.

The morning sun rose, boundless.

Luo Chen looked forward, backward, left, and right, then took out a high-grade flying boat, threw it on the water surface, and activated it with magic power, and this flying boat sailed toward the southeast based on his feeling.

The cold sea breeze rolled up his pitch-black long hair.

His clothes rustled, and Luo Chen looked at the unknown scenery ahead, his eyes incomparably bright.

"On Mount Mount Cangwu, I was like a bird in a cage, a fish in a net. This departure is like a bird into the blue sky, a fish into the great sea, no longer bound by any shackles!"

On the vast ocean, a single leaf of a boat carried the young man in black and sailed with the wind.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 519 =====

On the vast ocean, a lone small boat carried the black-clad young man away with the wind.
