Chapter 668: Flat lake for one night, the heart of the sea remains the same
The geographical environment of the Du Du Feiyan Islands is extremely remote!
This feature, Luo Chen knew from the beginning, but as he traveled half a circle in the North Sea cultivation world, his impression of it became deeper.
Basically, there are no sea areas suitable for cultivation nearby, and even powerful cultivators are few and far between.
Outsiders are also rarely seen.
If it weren't for relying on Luo Chen's reputation back then to form a merchant fleet to regularly go to other prosperous places, perhaps even communication and exchange with the outside would be extremely closed.
That Yan Nantian, who hid in the Du Du Feiyan Islands to avoid the pursuit of the Demon Luo Flow back then, also enjoyed the benefits of this aspect.
The reason for this situation, apart from the sparse spiritual veins, also has to do with the ocean they rely on that is covered by thick fog all year round.
Its name is the South Ocean, bordering both the Southern Frontier and the East Wasteland.
No one knows whether those thick fogs are the poisonous fogs of the Southern Frontier or the ghost fogs of the Mingyuan of the East Wasteland; in short, few people dare to cross the South Ocean.
This day.
On the sea horizon bordering the South Ocean and the North Sea, a human figure slowly emerged.
White robes with red belts, long hair tied back, a pair of black eyes like cold pool abysses, calm yet containing infinite heat.
This person is Luo Chen.
He looked at the faintly floating black fog, as if standing on the boundary line between life and death.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen waved his hand to disperse the black fog and stepped into it.
The sea breeze blew, and the black fog from all directions gathered, gradually permeating the place that had been cleared.
After less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, something seemed to be boiling in the South Ocean.
Subsequently, a human figure permeated with firelight flew out from inside.
Luo Chen looked back at this ocean covered by thin fog and thick clouds all year round, his expression neither happy nor sad.
Closing his eyes and looking inside, some tiny insect eggs invisible to the naked eye were lying on his meridians and blood vessels.
"Is this the insect egg?"
Luo Chen's heart moved, and the Withered-Prosperous True Fire burned all over his body.
In an instant, those insect eggs were burned to nothing in silence, turning into pure energy to feed back Luo Chen's physical body.
"It is rumored that Southern Frontier cultivators are good at using insect arts, and most of their insects come from the mysterious South Ocean; seeing it now, it really lives up to its reputation!" Luo Chen muttered to himself.
In just a short while, he flew in it, and some unknown insect eggs were inhaled into his body under normal breathing.
It can be seen how dangerous it is!
And this was just the boundary of the South Ocean.
If he went deep into it, I'm afraid there would be more powerful insect eggs, perhaps even high-grade insects.
Luo Chen is proficient in breath-holding techniques, confident that he can hold his breath for several months with his current realm, forming an internal circulation, and even if he releases his breathing, he has true fire to rely on. But even so, he couldn't prevent the invasion of insects that were everywhere.
Don't know what kind of heaven and earth creation it was that nurtured such a strange and treacherous place in the Shanhai Realm.
Luo Chen shook his head and turned to fly towards the Du Du Feiyan Islands.
The plan to land in the Southern Frontier from the South Ocean died prematurely.
Luo Chen was not disappointed; it was just an attempt itself.
The South Ocean is treacherous, as everyone knows.
With the richness of the North Sea's resources, spreading to the five continents of the world, it cannot reach the South Ocean directly, but has to go through the Central Plains as a transit station.
It has a ready-made path itself, so there is no need to sneak into the South Ocean.
Thinking of this, Luo Chen became more and more curious about the structure of this world.
With his current Nascent Soul realm being able to briefly fuse with heaven and earth, he had seen the true side of the Shanhai Realm.
Outside the East Wasteland, Southern Frontier, Western Desert, North Sea, and even the Central Plains, there are still a large number of unexplored places.
For example, the Mingyuan surrounding the East Wasteland holy land Mingyuan Sect, the boundless Million Great Mountains.
And for example, the boundless demon sea of the North Sea.
The South Ocean relied on by the Southern Frontier is also mysterious to this day.
The back of the Shanhai Realm is roughly this structure, filled with boundless ghost fog and Yin energy, and it is even possible that there are surviving desolate beasts wandering inside!
Luo Chen thought this way, and his footsteps had landed on a high cliff.
Looking at the tall young woman with mature charm, waist is waist, buttocks are buttocks, even if she bent down respectfully, a pair of long legs were still eye-catching, Luo Chen swept a glance and revealed a smile.
"Haixin, you have made great progress over the years!"
Getting Luo Chen's opening, Cheng Haixin, who was cautious, finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head.
Just one glance, and her eyebrows froze.
The True Person's appearance was the same as that year, but his skin was becoming fairer.
Not only that, he stood there with his hands behind his back, even if he did nothing, he was like a natural flame, scorching people's eyes and making people dare not look directly.
She took a breath and said softly: "True Person praises me too much, Haixin's aptitude is dull, a hundred years have passed and I still haven't formed a core, disappointing the True Person."
A hundred years of time, Luo Chen had already formed a Nascent Soul, but Cheng Haixin was only at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, not even reaching perfection; in contrast, it was truly inferior.
Luo Chen smiled and asked about the situation of the Du Du Feiyan Islands.
Now, among the islands, the Cheng family is the only one, occupying seven islands alone, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators exceeds the number of two hands, truly counting as the first Foundation Establishment family of Du Du Feiyan!
However, in this hundred years, it is not that there have been no Golden Core strong ones in the Du Du Feiyan Islands.
Like that Xu family who was on good terms with the Cheng family, their third elder, after comprehending the 《Green Yang Alchemy Classic》 left by Luo Chen on the stone tablet of Yaoyue Island, luckily advanced to the Golden Core stage.
"Then where is he?"
"Left."
"Hmm?"
Cheng Haixin told the reason for this.
It turned out that after the third elder of the Xu family formed a core, he deeply felt that the resources of the Du Du Feiyan Islands were barren, and the resources exchanged by the merchant fleet were difficult to support the cultivation of Golden Core cultivators.
Especially, the only 3rd-rank spiritual vein was nominally Cheng Haixin's.
At that time, it was exactly when the orthodox-demonic war was intensifying, and the third elder of the Xu family seized the opportunity to become famous, gaining quite a lot.
Also in this process, he was favored by the strong of the Canghai Orthodox Alliance, included in the forces under the Canghai Orthodox Alliance, and even given a small island with a 3rd-rank spiritual vein, allowing his family to recuperate.
"He is a person who knows the situation." Luo Chen chuckled, and then as if remembering something, asked suddenly: "What about Xu Muxian?"
This name hadn't been spoken from Luo Chen's mouth for a long time.
But he wouldn't forget.
No matter what, this was also his nominal named disciple.
In the path of alchemy, he had quite a talent.
Facing Luo Chen's inquiry, Cheng Haixin hesitated for a while, but still answered: "Also left."
Luo Chen frowned, "Did he leave with the Xu family?"
He frowned because he remembered that the relationship between Xu Muxian and the Xu family itself was not very good, and later, because of the marriage with the Cheng family, he was even more inclined to the Cheng family.
Regarding this, Cheng Haixin shook her head.
"That's not it, Muxian left very early. After his wife passed away, after he successfully established his foundation by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill you specially left for him, he left the Du Du Feiyan Islands without hesitation to venture into the outside world. This matter was even before the third elder of the Xu family formed a core."
Hearing this answer, Luo Chen fell into silence.
He vaguely remembered that the named disciple was once confused, and he had scolded him for being ambitious and wanting to form a core without establishing a foundation.
The last conversation was to encourage him that even if the Great Dao was hard to find, there were countless sceneries in the world, and he should go out and see.
Didn't expect that he not only succeeded in Foundation Establishment but also jumped out of the well of the Du Du Feiyan Islands to see the scenery of the world.
Cheng Haixin shook her head and said no.
Since that was the case, Luo Chen didn't ask any more, but brought up another matter.
"I'm just passing through the Du Du Feiyan Islands and won't stay long. Tomorrow morning, I will leave here. This time, I'll give you another choice; do you want to leave with me?"
Cheng Haixin was stunned, and then a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.
Back then, Luo Chen also gave her a choice like this, and now it was another time.
And unlike the beginning, this time there was stronger confidence in Luo Chen's words.
If she agreed, presumably the subsequent journey would be smooth, and she wouldn't experience as many storms as Luo Chen did back then.
This was the powerful sense of security brought to her by a Nascent Soul True Person.
But this time, her answer was still the same as before.
"The True Person still misses me, and I am very happy, but..."
Luo Chen frowned, "Back then you had family burdens, I can understand. But now, the Cheng family is already the first family here, with more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, not lacking you at all, why linger?"
Cheng Haixin smoothed the hanging hair, smiling gently: "It has nothing to do with the family, I'm just used to it."
"Used to it?"
"Used to the sea and mountains here, used to the quietness on Yaoyue Island. I have also heard some rumors about you, True Person, from the Du Du Feiyan merchant fleet. Every time they talk about it, it's so thrilling and magnificent, making people's blood boil. But, Haixin has never experienced storms since childhood, rarely fights with others, and doesn't understand the way of fighting. You, True Person, are doing big things, and future battles are inevitable. If I am by your side, I might get protection, but I can't assist you wholeheartedly like True Person Seeing Tianxuan or Lord Black King. In the end, it's just a burden."
This time, Luo Chen didn't interrupt the woman's words, just listening quietly.
He knew that what the other party said was correct.
Going to the North Sea this time, there are both orthodox-demonic struggles and demon alliance invasions, and even after returning to the East Wasteland, there is no lack of intrigue.
Cheng Haixin by his side is indeed a burden.
Even if he has a certain confidence that he can provide protection, he doesn't have complete certainty that he can take care of her thoroughly.
"The True Person misses me, which is naturally excellent."
"Later, if you, True Person, are free, or empty, or injured... tired, then come back to Yaoyue Island and sit for a while."
"I, your concubine, will wait with warm wine!"
Luo Chen looked at the woman seriously, time had left traces on her face.
Even though her appearance remained beautiful, she no longer possessed the girlish charm she had when they first met.
But her temperament was becoming more mature, and what she thought was not the passive state under the orders of her family's elder brother.
He didn't persuade her anymore, just reached out to hold her waist into his arms.
"The wind is big, go back to the island!"
Cheng Haixin's eyebrows curved, the corners of her mouth raised.
She remembered that the sentence "The wind is cold on the cliff, the night is cold" back then was opened by her.
In the middle of the night, Luo Chen, wearing soft silk underwear, stroked the woman's smooth jade back, his spiritual sense sweeping over her whole body.
Suddenly!
His fingertips tapped lightly, and strands of gentle magic power were injected into her body.
Strands of filth and impurities were discharged from the pores of the body surface, and with a wave of his sleeves, they all fell to the ground, the skin still smooth as before.
A soft moan, Cheng Haixin woke up from her sleep.
"Husband?"
"Don't call me True Person now?"
Cheng Haixin's face was shy; since that night of parting back then, she had regarded Luo Chen as her husband, and before it was just because of the gap in realm, she didn't dare to cling to him.
Now after the second blooming, it was naturally not to be mentioned in the same breath.
Luo Chen smiled: "I just took advantage of your deep sleep to clear your meridians and remove some impurities from your physique. But I can't move the slight elixir poison on your Qi sea barrier. So, if you want to form a core, you have to painstakingly cultivate the alchemy technique to remove elixir poison in 《Dust Yuan Art》."
"In addition, keep these bottles of elixir pills well; they are of great use for your Core Formation, especially this bottle of mild-natured Liquid-Condensing Pill!"
"Also, this set of water-attribute cultivation method can seamlessly connect to your subsequent cultivation, even up to the Nascent Soul stage, it is enough."
"This water-attribute top-grade flying sword, you cannot refine it with your current ability; I will seal it for you, after Core Formation..."
While Luo Chen was nagging, soft fingers blocked his mouth.
"Husband, let's not talk about the Great Dao tonight, just talk about the wind and moon, okay?"
Luo Chen was startled, then laughed freely.
It was he who was obsessed; for decades without rest, he only cared about brave progress.
"That's right, just talk about the wind and moon!"
This night, the wind on the island was very urgent, the moon was not bright, rain fell, causing ripples on the ten-mile flat lake.
Early the next morning, Luo Chen left quietly under Seeing Tianxuan's driving.
The entire Du Du Feiyan Islands, countless cultivators, didn't know that the Green Yang Demon Lord who once suppressed the islands had returned.
Cheng Haixin didn't see him off, just stood in front of that stone tablet, dazed.
For a long
The palace gates were closed tight, and this closure lasted for several decades.
……
"Master, where are we going now?"
Seeing Tianxuan asked.
The tenderness in Luo Chen's eyes gradually dissipated, leaving behind a trace of ruthlessness.
"First, go to Lengguang Island!"
Seeing Tianxuan was stunned, then suddenly realized.
There are some people and some things that, even if no one mentions them, does not mean no one remembers them.
