Chapter 667: The Yellow Springs disappear, Cangwu still remains

"You and I have been master and servant for a time; it's not that I don't trust you, but it's just to be safe."

"I have already withdrawn the Source Blood prohibition, which will affect your normal cultivation. But I must plant a slave seal to prevent you from being controlled at a critical moment and stabbing me in the back."

"Hand over your Soul Blood!"

On a chariot that had concealed its spiritual light, Luo Chen said slowly to the Black King curled up at his feet.

He didn't say this without reason.

Han Zhan's previous example was right before his eyes.

That innate demon art of the Black King, apart from its own swallowing and digestion function, had the same effect as his life-bound magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, in capturing the Nascent Soul. If it were suddenly used in a sneak attack from behind, even Luo Chen would have to suffer.

It just so happened that creatures like desolate beasts, which controlled majestic power, had low intelligence and weak souls, making them extremely easy to be controlled by strong soul-path experts.

The Black King was especially at a disadvantage in this regard.

Although his intelligence was not low, his cultivation time was ultimately too short; even if his realm soared, he couldn't temper his soul foundation through the passage of time.

Unlike Luo Chen, who, even though his cultivation time was short, had always had a deep soul foundation, which had long since made up for this shortcoming.

Luo Chen didn't mention this earlier because he was busy with bitter cultivation, and the Black King had just broken through, so taking out Soul Blood at that time would have hindered his cultivation.

Now that he had left Long Yuan Island and had to face the storms of the cultivation world, Luo Chen ultimately had to take precautions.

Betrayal by those around him must never happen again!

He looked at the hesitant Black King without urging him.

The loyalty of the other party was beyond doubt; the reason for the hesitation was obviously that after handing over the Soul Blood, life and death were only in Luo Chen's thought, which was something any creature would find hard to accept voluntarily.

In front, Sang Jinghe was driving the Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot, eyes looking at his nose and nose looking at his mouth, as if he hadn't noticed this at all, but if looked at carefully, his body under the dharma robe was also tense.

Seeing Tianxuan stood to the side, looking at the Black King with anxiety and worry.

She had the heart to speak, but in front of Luo Chen's calm momentum, she couldn't open her mouth at all.

Beside the chariot, the wind blew, and the white clouds drifted away.

After a while, the Black King said in a muffled voice: "Willing to be the spirit pet under the Master's seat again!"

A drop of crimson essence blood slowly floated out from his crown, and vaguely, there was a lifelike black-scaled dragon inside, with long whiskers and four feet tossing and jumping.

This was the Black King's Soul Blood.

Luo Chen satisfiedly collected it into his sea of consciousness, and then planted his own exclusive Spirit-Enslaving Seal on the Black King.

From now on, with just a thought, the Black King's life and death were in his hands.

Seeing the Black King drooping his head listlessly, Luo Chen rubbed his cold brain with a smile.

"Don't worry, if one day I ascend, I will naturally grant you freedom."

"In addition, I can also promise you one thing. When you are ready to break through to the fifth rank, I will return your Soul Blood and grant you a complete soul body!"

Having obtained these two promises, the Black King's listless mood finally recovered a bit.

Because of Luo Chen's smile, the atmosphere in the chariot also relaxed a bit, and Seeing Tianxuan was finally able to speak.

She first looked at the Black King, then said to Luo Chen: "Master, what about me? My slave seal was also lifted in the Mingzhao Heaven Elixir Hall, is it..."

"Forget it, with your current strength, even if controlled, you won't be a threat to me. Just cultivate diligently and do things for me down-to-earth!"

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Seeing Tianxuan said "Oh", feeling a bit regretful instead.

Her own strength was not good, and she didn't even have the qualification to be the Master's spirit pet!

It was Sang Jinghe on the side, who breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Luo Chen didn't want Seeing Tianxuan's Soul Blood.

In his heart, he was still mocking himself: "What are you thinking? With the True Person's capacity, I, a small Golden Core cultivator, am still tolerable."

Just then, a command came to his ears.

"Change direction!"

He asked in confusion: "True Person,

are we not going north?"

"Go southeast first, I have something to do." Luo Chen said lightly.

Sang Jinghe nodded and drove the chariot away from the original direction.

Luo Chen held the jade slip recording the North Sea geography in his hand, his spiritual sense falling on an island group shaped like a flying swallow.

It was very small and very remote, but it was his landing place when he first came to the North Sea.

In his eyes, there was a contradictory emotion of both expectation and non-expectation.

The chariot headed straight for the southeast, not passing through human territory.

But wherever it passed, there were not many powerful demon beasts blocking the way.

This, of course, was because Luo Chen applied a spell to conceal the chariot's aura, but the decrease in the number of demon beasts in the demon sea was also a fact.

Facing this abnormal scene, a sense of oppression as if a storm was coming was vaguely shrouded in everyone's heart.

This day, the Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot stopped above a sea area.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out from it and went straight down.

The huge body and the aura that seemed to be but wasn't stirred up the fear in the hearts of many demon clans below at that moment.

There were panicked sounds rising from the beaches of the islands, but under that heaven-shaking dragon roar, all the noise fell into silence.

Soon, the black shadow returned.

Plop!

A third-rank demon king who was forced to shrink his size knelt on the chariot deck, trembling.

Salty seawater flowed from his shell, and his expression was incredibly terrified.

"Whatever my Master asks, you answer, do you hear me!"

This Red Rock Crab demon king trembled all over, and subconsciously looked up at the man sitting on the soft couch.

Just one glance made him feel like falling into a dream.

"I remember that there were five major royal demon crab clans in the original Xuanyan Sea Area; why, under my spiritual sense probe, are there only your Red Rock Crab clan, and the numbers of other demon crabs are sparse?"

The Red Rock Crab demon king muttered: "A hundred years ago, in the battle of Xuanyan, the five major royal demon crab clans suffered heavy losses. Later, the Overlord Crab clan tried to unify Xuanyan, but was countered by the Demon Spider Crab clan leader Zhu Xiang colluding with outer sea demon clans. In a civil war, the Overlord Crab clan was destroyed. The new clan leader, the Golden Armor Great Demon King, also died in that battle. It was the Golden Claw Great Demon King, who had one arm broken, who fought his way out and fled into the vast demon sea."

"What about the remaining four clans: the Green Emperor Crab, Demon Spider Crab, Nine-Claw Poison King Crab, and your Red Rock Crab?"

The Red Rock Crab demon king continued to answer: "They were conscripted by the Demon Emperor, joined the North Sea Demon Alliance, and are massively attacking the human hinterland. My strength is low, so I was left behind..."

This Red Rock Crab was indeed not strong, looking like a demon king who had just broken through.

Luo Chen frowned, "Demon Alliance?"

"It is the North Sea Demon Race Alliance, led by the North Departure Great Sage and Sea Emperor Whale adults. It is said to be composed of dozens of large clans and thousands of small clans, with extremely abundant strength, having nine-tenths of the strength of attacking the Yuanmo Sect back then!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, shock flashing in his eyes.

North Departure Great Sage and Sea Emperor Whale, he naturally had heard of them.

These were two ancient demon gods of the North Sea who were famous.

Back then, it was also under their leadership that they led hundreds of millions of demon armies to kill into the North Pole Night Mo Heaven.

Logically speaking, they should be trapped in the Night Mo Heaven, so how could they form a Demon Alliance now?

He had the heart to ask more intelligence.

For example, when did they break the seal and escape, and what was the war situation now?

But this little demon king, living in a corner, didn't know these detailed inside stories at all.

In the end, Luo Chen had to wave his hand and throw this muddled demon king back into the sea.

The Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot continued to start; now the one controlling this flying magic treasure was Seeing Tianxuan.

She and Sang Jinghe took turns along the way, which was labor-saving and kept the escape speed day and night without stopping.

On the chariot, the Black King's confused voice came.

"Master, why not slaughter them? Back then, these guys were chasing us relentlessly."

"That was us hunting their clansmen first, how can you bite back!"

"Uh... anyway, I just don't like these guys waving pincers; the shell is hard, making my stomach ache."

"Forget it, since there is no demand for resources, why create more killing karma. Speaking of which, you are all demon race, why is your killing intent towards your own kind so heavy?"

"Who is of the same clan as them! Demon is just a term used by cultivators for all non-human beasts; actually, we are not of the same family at all. Instead, it's me, Old Black, what race should I be counted as now? Master, do you know?"

"Hehe, this really stumped me."

What race the Black King belonged to now, Luo Chen really couldn't judge.

His original origin was a black-scaled giant python rolling in the mud.

Later, he was pulled up to grow into a black-scaled dragon by someone using secret methods. But at that time, the Black King actually couldn't be counted as a dragon at all; at best, he was just a dragon-python.

Even later, he swallowed the cliff snake's remains, but didn't completely transform.

Afterwards, he absorbed hundreds of millions of Longqiu blood, plus Luo Chen's essence blood, and was influenced by the remnant soul of the desolate beast Stone Dragon.

In this process, Emperor Flowing Pulp, a holy medicine of the demon race that could assist demon beasts in digging deep bloodlines, was also constantly playing a role.

Up to now, if one really wanted to say the Black King's race, neither bloodline nor soul could be biased; only from the appearance could one see a bit of the Ying Dragon appearance recorded in classics.

But it just so happened that he had no wings!

Let's just summarize it as a dragon!

Luo Chen didn't want to deal with these trivial matters and hurriedly passed through the Xuanyan Sea Area.

This place, which he had high hopes for and almost used as a backup place for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, looked extremely barren in spiritual energy from the current perspective.

Especially that Xuanyan Island, which hadn't been well managed; a hundred years passed, and the grade hadn't recovered to the 4th rank, still at the 3rd rank level.

This sea, I'm afraid it won't produce a Demon Emperor existence for eight hundred or a thousand years.

The chariot continued to move forward, and wherever it passed, Luo Chen's spiritual sense swept over quietly.

He found that it was generally the same as the memory of that year, but some islands were missing.

For example, there was a large island where humans gathered, and a Golden Core sect was entrenched on it; now both the people and the island had disappeared.

This was very strange.

Even if it was damaged by battle, there should be an old site left.

What's more, Luo Chen remembered that fairy island was arranged with the island-connecting array method passed down by the Canghai Alliance, and ordinary demon beasts couldn't kill their way up.

However, this strange thing became insignificant in another matter.

That was the disappearance of the Soul-Breaking Cliff!

Traveling east from Long Yuan Island, passing through tens of millions of miles, Luo Chen cautiously approached the Yellow Springs sea area where the Soul-Breaking Cliff was in his memory.

But, there was nothing!

Yes, the sky was clear and the sea was blue, and there was no terrifying scene of Yellow Springs turbidity and soul-breaking.

Even flying along the outer edge of the demon sea and passing through all the way, he didn't find any trace of the Soul-Breaking Cliff or the Yellow Springs Sea.

"Ran away?"

"Is that sea a living thing?"

This guess floated into his heart.

Luo Chen remembered that the puppet he used the Opening Thatch Art passed down by Han Zhan to split his soul and inhabit before it perished, vaguely transmitted back a scene.

Endless Yellow Springs, scouring the void.

The sea was surging, and the chewing sound entered his brain.

If one wanted to explain the strange disappearance of the Yellow Springs Sea, perhaps only the answer that the sea was a living thing could explain it.

One month later.

Albatrosses circled, and the Shaluo trees swayed.

Luo Chen descended quietly from the chariot.

"You go to the Du Du Feiyan Islands and wait for me; if there are no accidents, I will come later."

Seeing Tianxuan was confused; this sea area where albatrosses circled again?

She still remembered that when returning from the Xuanyan Sea Area back then, the Master seemed to have stayed here, and even let her go to the Du Du Feiyan Islands to explore the reality first.

At that time, she thought the Master was preventing someone from setting an ambush on the Du Du Feiyan Islands.

But now, the Master was already a Nascent Soul True

Person, why did he still stop here?

However, the Master gave an order, naturally not allowing questioning.

"Yes, Master!"

Watching the gorgeous chariot go far away, Luo Chen took a deep breath and cast his gaze on the few islands in the Albatross Sea Area.

He didn't release his spiritual sense, but searched for the target with only memory.

Soon, he saw a familiar small mountain.

"Back then, I passed this mountain without entering, but this time, I finally have to face it."

Luo Chen waved his sleeves and flew over slowly.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, he walked up the mountain.

Wherever he passed, the lush vines seemed to have consciousness and actively bypassed him.

Soon, Luo Chen stood nervously in front of a mountain cave densely covered by natural vegetation.

"Go in!"

Luo Chen lifted the vines and entered the darkness.

In front of an ancient magic array, Luo Chen pursed his lips tightly.

His hand brushed over a corner of the array pattern, vaguely trembling.

It was repaired!

This array was repaired!

He remembered extremely clearly that when he came to the North Sea through the Cangwu Mountain teleportation array back then, after waking up, he cut off a corner of this array to prevent being chased by the demon cultivators of Cangwu Mountain.

At this moment, the ancient array, the lines were so brand new, and even dust didn't stain a bit.

Obviously, this array was repaired not long ago, at most twenty or thirty years.

Who was it?

Demon Emperor Qing Shuang, or the Deputy Hall Master of the True-Passing Hall, You Quan?

Or, was it that one...

A certain name tumbled in his mind, but it was like a taboo.

The reason Luo Chen came here, both had the homesickness of returning to his hometown in the East Wasteland, and even more the grudges between Demon Lord Lian Tian and Sovereign Qixia in the Fallen Demon Land.

And he, possessing Qixia's cultivation method, but also obtained Lian Tian's inheritance.

Therefore, he wanted to see how the situation of this teleportation array leading directly to Cangwu Mountain was. If Cangwu Mountain was destroyed in the attack of the Nascent Soul great power of the Mingyuan Sect, naturally there would be no spare strength to repair this teleportation array. Then his return to the East Wasteland would also have fewer hidden dangers. If it was repaired, then he would have to face the risk that he, who had once refined elixirs for the demon race, might be exposed by them.

At the moment of seeing it repaired, the contradictory emotions in Luo Chen's heart completely dissipated.

Like accepting his fate.

The array was repaired, meaning Cangwu Mountain still remained, and even had spare strength to come to the North Sea from ten thousand miles away to repair this teleportation array.

They were even too lazy to move the teleportation array, not afraid of him, this insider, at all.

"Some things, blindly escaping is useless; ultimately, one has to face them."

Luo Chen's eyes flickered, and the agitated emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.

"Han Zhan is dead; apart from those demon beasts of Cangwu Mountain, no one knows what I did in Cangwu Mountain. All the human strong ones died under the spread of that Nirvana Holy Fire."

"Now that I have formed the Nascent Soul, as long as I bite to death that I haven't done those things, apart from the Nascent Soul holy land, no one should question it."

"If the Mingyuan Sect pursues it, I also have the alchemy technique that can refine 5th-rank divine elixirs to rely on, and I can try to bargain."

"East Wasteland, I must go back!"

"It's just that this teleportation array cannot be taken."

Luo Chen shook his head and turned to leave.

Not taking this teleportation array, one was that he didn't dare to take it, and the other was that without the protection of the Azure Luan Feather, he couldn't actively stimulate this array.

Just then, Luo Chen's heart stirred.

He subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

In the Purple Mansion, the Withered-Prosperous Fire Spirit was eager to try.

Luo Chen was surprised, "Can you stimulate this array?"

Immediately, he realized the key point.

The Withered-Prosperous True Fire had once swallowed a bit of Nirvana Holy Fire, even if it was just a bit, it made it slightly possess the prototype of the Holy Fire.

Demon Emperor Qing Shuang might be able to construct a super-large teleportation array relying on space laws, but she definitely didn't have that financial resources, nor did she have that demand; her main purpose in setting up

this array should be for Sovereign Qixia to use.

Sovereign Qixia, mastering the Nirvana Holy Fire, might also be one of the keys to start this teleportation array.

Therefore, his Withered-Prosperous Fire Spirit had that sense of resonance.

"Forget it, don't need this array; I can return to the East Wasteland by changing a method."

Luo Chen shook his head and walked out of the mountain cave.

Without making any more destruction, just like that, Luo Chen left the Albatross Sea Area.

The road he came, no need to walk again.

Since he had achieved Nascent Soul, he had the confidence to walk out a heavenly avenue!
