Chapter 623

~17 min read 3,302 words

Pale golden sky, pitch-black sea.

Between the sea and the sky, there was no human presence.

Only hundreds of cyclones rose and fell on the boundless ocean, swallowing heaven and earth spiritual energy in large gulps.

Luo Chen stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering, looking at this scene in amazement.

"Is this the Golden Sky Black Sea? Seeing it once is better than hearing about it a hundred times; it is truly magnificent and unparalleled!"

Facing the breeze, the Cave Master of Mowun stroked his beard, also amazed.

"I don't know what kind of great divine power the owner of the ruins used to set up the array, to be able to change the environment of the entire Sinking Sea, and even continue to operate automatically a thousand years after his death."

Both of them were well-known casting masters and had impressive attainments in array formations.

Facing this peerless array that could trigger celestial phenomena, their moods were naturally difficult to calm.

Only Ding Yi was full of impatience at this moment.

"Alright, alright, Senior Qingyang Demon Lord, it's enough to marvel at it once; Cave Master, you and I have come to see it several times, why are you still acting like this?"

The Cave Master of Mowun laughed, "It's always fresh when you see it often!"

"Hmph."

Ding Yi snorted lightly and, in front of the three of them, summoned a beast from the storage bag at his waist.

As soon as the beast fell into the water, it made a roaring sound, as if a continent had fallen from the sky and smashed into the water.

If Ding Yi hadn't set up a sound-isolation technique in advance, I'm afraid some loose cultivators nearby who were reluctant to leave would have been attracted.

Luo Chen looked carefully, and a light exclamation couldn't help but escape his lips.

"Eh, is this that Treasure Basin Fish?"

Ding Yi nodded, "You didn't see wrong; it is indeed that third-rank mid-stage Black-Green Treasure Basin Fish. This is the treasure I prepared to cross the Sinking Sea."

In his line of sight, a giant fish, tens of zhang long and wide, rose and fell on the sea surface, its exposed scales covered in moss.

Undoubtedly, this was clearly the Black-Green Treasure Basin Fish that had caused a small sensation at the auction in Fairy Feileng City when Luo Chen saw it.

Known as a moving spiritual vein, a portable cave dwelling!

But unlike what Luo Chen saw back then, there were no rocks, soil, flowers, or trees on its back; instead, there was a beast that looked like a turtle or a soft-shelled turtle lying on it.

The two merged, indistinguishable from each other, which looked quite peculiar.

Seeing Luo Chen's surprise, the Cave Master of Mowun showed a proud smile.

"Senior Qingyangzi, what do you think of my methods?"

"These are your methods?"

The Cave Master of Mowun smiled proudly, "This method of refining living creatures is not commonly used even in ancient times. I forcefully refined the Zhu-Turtle beast and the Black-Green Treasure Basin Fish together. In this way, it gained various wonderful uses. Most importantly, the Zhu-Turtle beast contains the bloodline of a mysterious turtle and can resist the Void Burning Wind!"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up; the other party's creativity was indeed not bad.

To travel in the Sinking Sea, one must face the black, turbid seawater that corrodes everything, and the Void Burning Wind.

The former corrodes magic power, and the latter disturbs the soul.

And clearly, this Treasure Basin Fish, known as a moving spiritual vein, was not short of spiritual energy, and now it had the Zhu-Turtle beast to block the Void Burning Wind for it.

Cultivators relying on it to move could ensure their state remained intact.

"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!" Luo Chen praised sincerely.

Ding Yi had been silent, focusing on casting spells on the side.

The giant treasure fish under his feet began to shrink constantly, from tens of zhang down to only one zhang in size.

Only then did he free his hands to look at Luo Chen.

"Wonderful indeed. However, this beast suffered great damage to its vitality during the refining process, and I had to nourish it for more than ten years before it recovered. It can carry at most two people now. So, Demon Lord, you will have to take care of yourself."

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow but didn't get angry.

"Rest assured, I have my own preparations and won't hold you back."

"That's good!"

After speaking, Ding Yi landed directly in the Zhu-Turtle shell on the back of the Treasure Basin Fish and walked in.

The Cave Master of Mowun smiled apologetically at Luo Chen and flew in as well.

One zhang in circumference, accommodating two people, it didn't look crowded.

Luo Chen smiled and slapped the storage bag at his waist.

"Come out!"

Black King appeared again.

As soon as he appeared, he looked left and right, and finally looked fearfully at the pitch-black ocean.

"Master, do we really have to do this?"

"Didn't you devour and digest that Covering-Sea Demon Dragon, and gain the ability to temporarily resist the corrosion of the black turbid seawater?"

Black King was distressed, "But you also said it was temporary! This journey is long; what if my strength fails..."

Luo Chen glared at him, "Rest assured, when your strength fails, I will take action myself; you won't be exhausted."

Black King was encouraged, but he twisted his body again.

"What about the Void Burning Wind?"

Luo Chen shook his head helplessly and pointed at the Daoist robe on his body. Immediately, black armor spread out, gradually covering Black King's huge body.

"Shrink a little!"

"Oh."

Black King honestly shrank his body to about five zhang; any smaller would affect his immediate combat power.

From this point of view, the Treasure Basin Zhu-Turtle beast refined by the Cave Master of Mowun indeed had some unique features.

"Senior Qingyang Demon Lord, are you ready?"

"Coming!"

Luo Chen responded, stepped onto Black King's back, and sat cross-legged.

Luo Chen stood high in the sky.

Inside the Zhu-Turtle shell, Ding Yi frowned as he looked at the black dragon outside through the gaps.

"I have never heard of a dragon transformed from a black-scaled giant python that has the ability to resist the Sinking Sea water; this Senior Qingyang is truly lucky!"

The Cave Master of Mowun stood to the side, staring intently at the outside.

After a while, he shook his head gently.

"Rest assured, that incomplete black dragon still cannot compare to our Treasure Basin Zhu-Turtle beast."

Black King indeed appeared incomplete to outsiders; despite having dragon horns, he lacked dragon claws, and his body shape was closer to that of a snake or python.

And the Cave Master of Mowun's words were indeed verified.

After swimming in the sea for half a day, Black King showed signs of fatigue.

And every time this happened, Luo Chen, who was sitting on his back, would actively release a magic power shield to help him resist the black turbid seawater coming from all directions.

The man and the dragon took turns resisting the outside world, ensuring their speed would not decrease.

Ding Yi watched for a long time and also saw the pattern, but he felt a bit strange.

"Then how do they resist the Void Burning Wind?"

The Cave Master of Mowun pointed without hesitation at the black armor that was covering both Luo Chen and the dragon.

"It should be the work of this item."

On Black King's back.

Luo Chen's eyes were burning, observing the surroundings at all times.

In this seawater, spiritual sense was suppressed and could not spread very far.

His eyes, nourished for many years, could instead see more things through the layers of black turbid seawater.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen's whole body shook, his soul was somewhat restless, and Black King was the same.

Just now, a clear breeze seemed to have brushed past.

"Is that the Void Burning Wind?"

Luo Chen pressed his hand on Black King's back to soothe him, and touched the hot Yu Xuan Chen Armor with the other.

Just now, when the Void Burning Wind blew past, this magic treasure of his seemed to have received a call and automatically activated for an instant.

That activation speed was so fast that it seemed like an instinct.

No other secret technique could have resisted this wind in that silent and soundless moment.

"A bloodline resonance from the mysterious turtle clan?"

Luo Chen thought thoughtfully; only this reason could explain the situation.

If it were other cultivators without mysterious turtle treasures in that situation just now, I'm afraid their souls would have been affected instantly, causing them to lose control of their magic power and be buried in this boundless Sinking Sea!

Just as she was dimmed, a storage bag flew to her in front of her under the transport of magic power.

"Inside are all the third-level Prosperity Elixirs I refined when I left Flying Swallow Archipelago, as well as the Emperor Flowing Pulp I occasionally refined over the years. The grades are all quite good, take them, don't be stingy, take them in large quantities within the controllable range, and strive to break through to the fourth level of Core Formation in these few years!"

Seeing Tianxuan was stunned, and then a look of ecstasy surged on her cheeks.

"Master, I..."

"Practice well, those trivial matters don't need to be managed recently, let the Zhang family decide for themselves."

Luo Chen patted Seeing Tianxuan on the shoulder and stepped into the Star Dou Hall.

Many cultivation methods have been obtained.

With the blessing of rich vitality, the physique can completely go to the next level.

Now that everything is ready, it should be done in one go!

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 621 =====

Their speed was very fast, far exceeding many loose cultivators who were not well-prepared.

During the process of rushing to the cyclone entrance mentioned by Ding Yi, Luo Chen also saw several strange Core Formation cultivators using strange magic treasures to swim slowly in the Sinking Sea.

Among them, one person seemed to be running out of magic power; as he swam, he suddenly froze and then sank silently into the boundless seabed, corroded by the seawater.

Some things cannot be hidden from others.

As more and more people rushed to enter the Sinking Sea, relevant solutions naturally spread.

Mysterious turtle bloodline treasures!

If one searched with intent, one could always find a few pieces.

After all, most of these things fall on beasts like turtles and soft-shelled turtles, which are the most suitable materials for refining defensive weapons.

However, these people obviously thought too simply.

The mysterious turtle bloodline treasures found in a hurry were not specially made after all; one might be able to advance for a while in the Sinking Sea, but the deeper one went, the more difficult it became.

Unless, like the Yu Xuan Chen Armor on Luo Chen's body!

Even if it wasn't specially made, because its material was a genuine fourth-rank mysterious turtle relic, it could withstand the Void Burning Wind in the depths of the Sinking Sea!

Moving forward all the way, the three of Luo Chen gradually surpassed many latecomers and got closer and closer to the cyclone Ding Yi sensed.

According to Ding Yi, there are three hundred and sixty heavenly cycles of cyclones in the Sinking Sea that swallow heaven and earth spiritual energy.

And the cyclone he identified must be one of the entrances to the ancient cultivator's spiritual herb garden!

As long as they entered smoothly, they could easily obtain the things they wanted.

Tai Sui, and the Five Elements Lotus Platform!

Luo Chen didn't know if others knew this secret, but he was incredibly hot-hearted.

And as the distance to the destination got closer, he became even more expectant.

This day!

It had been over a month since Luo Chen and the others entered the sea, and calculating their full-speed progress, they had already entered the deepest part of the Sinking Sea.

Black King's forward momentum suddenly stopped.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Asking this question was also Ding Yi, who was not far away.

"Senior Qingyang Demon Lord, why did you stop?"

Luo Chen's expression was uncertain, standing on Black King's back, looking into the distance.

"Ahead, there seems to be something?"

"Something?" Ding Yi didn't understand and expanded his spiritual sense as much as possible, but he didn't find anything!

The Cave Master of Mowun took out a mirror-like magic treasure, cast a few spiritual spells, and the murky scene appeared inside.

"It seems there is something blocking the front?"

He asked hesitantly, "Should we go closer and take a look?"

Ding Yi asked: "Senior Qingyang Demon Lord, what do you say?"

Luo Chen was also somewhat hesitant, but since it concerned the spiritual herb garden, he couldn't afford to hesitate too much.

"Then let's go a little closer!"

Although he said that, Black King's movements fell imperceptibly behind the big fish, clearly following Luo Chen's signal.

Ding Yi didn't notice this and continued to move forward while controlling his spirit beast.

Closer and closer, closer and closer.

Until two red suns jumped into his eyes!

"What is that?" Ding Yi was stunned.

In a dim seabed, how could there be red suns?

The other two were also puzzled.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, wiped his eyes with a finger, and pushed his spiritual eye technique to the limit!

Not only that, but the source power born from his recent advancement to the fourth rank of the Desolate Ancient era also attached to his eye membranes.

Under his blood-colored vision, Luo Chen vaguely saw something.

A behemoth, several hundred zhang tall, stood in front of a tiny cyclone, constantly stretching its tentacles into it.

It seemed to want to go in?

And just as Luo Chen was looking, the monster suddenly moved.

Two red suns locked onto Luo Chen's eyes!

In an instant, Luo Chen's heart and soul were shaken violently.

The Black Chess of Mount Lankeshan flashed violently, and black halos constantly overflowed, yet they still couldn't block the inexplicable pressure.

In his sea of consciousness, Luo Chen fell into a boundless illusion.

There were storied buildings, ghostly shadows, countless immortals coming and going, and even fairy maidens scattering flowers. Even among the jade buildings, there were immortals overlooking the world, deriving boundless universe.

"Wake up!"

A low roar, like a needle prick, fell heavily into the depths of Luo Chen's soul.

He woke up suddenly, only to find that only an instant had passed.

And in his vision, the blurry scene became clearer.

Those two red suns were not suns at all; they were clearly the monster's eyes, and looking closely, they didn't look like eyes but like two living things.

Blood Lanterns!

Yes, they were Blood Lanterns, a type of third-rank great demon king that Luo Chen had once killed.

Only compared to that powerful demon king, the two Blood Lanterns in this monster's eyes were even more huge, reaching the fourth-rank level!

Not only that, those hands of his were not hands at all, but the tentacles of a giant squid.

The monster lived on the seabed of the Sinking Sea, like a tall building, with Blood Lanterns dwelling between its eyes, and tentacles of a giant squid covering its whole body, becoming its hair.

When Luo Chen woke up from the illusion, the monster seemed somewhat surprised.

Its hair behind it floated out, turning into a group of clawing tentacles, grabbing toward Luo Chen and the others.

And before it made this move, Luo Chen had already shouted sharply.

"Run!"

Without any hesitation, he was the first to run.

Black King was slow, so he was directly put into the spirit beast bag by him. Facing the seawater corroding his magic power and the boundless Void Burning Wind in the seabed environment, Luo Chen almost fled in a panic.

And behind him, Ding Yi and the Cave Master of Mowun also noticed something was wrong and fled wildly.

But their movements were a bit slow after all.

That group of tentacles directly grabbed the slightly slower Treasure Basin Fish and dragged it back.

The Treasure Basin Fish was grabbed, and Ding Yi's face turned snow-white.

Fortunately, the Cave Master of Mowun took out a bead and derived a light curtain to cover the two of them.

"I will block the Void Burning Wind; you use your magic power shield to protect me, and run fast!"

The two cooperated seamlessly and accelerated to escape.

Watching the group of tentacles coming back, the two used all their strength to escape, and the Cave Master of Mowun even threw a few red beads behind him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent explosions caused the surging seawater to boil.

Those tentacles were first hit by the red bead explosions and then corroded by the seawater, and their speed finally slowed down.

Taking this opportunity, Ding Yi cast a spiritual spell, and a piece of flesh on his body exploded violently.

"Escape!"

The next moment, red light wrapped him and the Cave Master of Mowun, like an arrow leaving the bow, piercing through countless seawater and moving toward an unknown direction.

It wasn't unknown, because there was still a guide in that direction.

Ding Yi looked at Luo Chen's flapping wings and gritted his teeth; this guy ran too fast.

Beside him, the Cave Master of Mowun said in a low voice: "We need to find an entrance to enter immediately; the mysterious turtle bloodline contained in this Origin-Returning Bead is limited and can only be used as a backup, so it needs time to accumulate power."

Ding Yi naturally knew this situation.

And just at this moment, Luo Chen's figure in front suddenly stopped.

A small cyclone was rising on the seabed.

This was the starting point, so it was smaller; the cyclone went all the way up, becoming more and more huge, and it would be spectacular if it were on the sea surface.

Luo Chen looked back at the two of them and jumped into it without hesitation.

Ding Yi and the Cave Master of Mowun didn't hesitate too much either; after rushing over, red light flashed, and they disappeared inside.

After the three disappeared without a trace, a few tentacles flew over slowly.

They circled the cyclone once and retracted unwillingly.

Almost visible wind scraped across his whole body.

Luo Chen's whole body was covered by the air armor of the Yu Xuan Chen Armor, but his soul was still incredibly restless.

Suddenly, his body relaxed.

Plop!

Luo Chen's feet stepped on solid ground.

The next moment, two figures followed closely.

Crack!

The Cave Master of Mowun frowned as he looked at the Origin-Returning Bead in his hand; it was broken.

In his ears came Luo Chen's uncertain inquiry, "What exactly was that monster?"

Sitting on the ground, Ding Yi, who had almost lost a layer of skin, gasped for breath, his expression incredibly ugly.

"What else could it be, it's the Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower that wanders in the Northern Sea!"

Ghost Immortal Tower?

Luo Chen was stunned; wasn't this the name of the second-layer illusion of his Mirror Flower Water Moon, which also came from what the white-clothed cultivator of the Origin Demon Sect said.

The Cave Master of Mowun's expression was solemn, "Legs like elephant feet, body like a red building. When sitting, ghostly shadows are everywhere; when running, mountains and seas collapse. That is indeed the legendary Desolate Beast—Ghost Immortal Tower!"
