Chapter 686: Ghosts and gods retreat, blood stains the Central Continent

Hum...

Accompanied by the rolling of the waves, the rich spiritual light on the Sword Halberd ship gradually extinguished.

The giant ship docked at a port.

One by one, the figures of cultivators walked off the ship in an orderly manner, and under the guidance of the Tianyuan Alliance cultivators, they successively boarded a large island.

After half a year, Sun Moon Island had arrived.

This island was still within the scope of the North Sea, but it was already extremely far from the hinterland of the human race.

The island was bustling with people, and the sound of shouting was very loud. As they came and went, various large materials unsuitable for storage in storage bags were transported into warehouses prepared in advance.

Clearly, Sun Moon Island was the Tianyuan Alliance's transit center in the North Sea, situated between the North Sea and the Central Continent.

On the island, a Nascent Soul True Person from the Tianyuan Dao Sect was stationed all year round.

Yes, it was from the Dao Sect, not the Alliance.

The two seemed to be distinguished extremely clearly!

At this moment, that seemingly young Dao Sect True Person was on the ship with Fu Chaosheng, watching the weaving crowd while chatting.

"Recommending seven Nascent Soul True Persons to join the Star Gate at once, Brother Fu has made a great contribution this time!"

"Where, where, of these seven people, I only recommended two, and the remaining five were all recommended by other Alliance Elders."

"In the end, it is the credit of the North Sea branch of the Tianyuan Alliance, Brother is too modest." The young man smiled, and then his expression became solemn, "Brother Fu, are you sure you want to use the teleportation array on this island? By comparison, the teleportation array in Shenyuan City should be more suitable!"

Fu Chaosheng shook his head, "The teleportation array in Shenyuan City is good, it can teleport across continents. But it consumes huge amounts of spirit stones, and the recovery time is extremely long. When I didn't know, Elder Shen opened it in advance and had already sent one person away."

"Who?" The young man was surprised, "Who has such qualifications to let Brother Shen use his authority to forcibly open a cross-continent teleportation?"

"That one from the Liu family." Fu Chaosheng said lightly.

The young man suddenly realized, "So it was Junior Brother Liu Yuan. I heard that he traveled thousands of miles, abandoned the superior cultivation environment of the Central Continent, and specially ran to the North Sea to temper himself, and succeeded in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop. Now it seems that his performance after the breakthrough must be quite extraordinary, even Brother Shen did not hesitate to break the rules for him."

When he said this, he suddenly realized something.

"The Shen family does not have suitable clansmen of this generation to participate in the Five Hundred Year Grand Competition, could Brother Shen have taken a fancy to Junior Brother Liu Yuan?"

Fu Chaosheng smiled reluctantly and didn't say much.

Being in the North Sea, he often walked in the southeast region and didn't have much intersection with Liu Yuan.

Shen Wandou was different; he had been sitting in Shenyuan City, very close to Liu Yuan who was tempering himself in the Wan Xian Society, and their private exchanges were extremely frequent.

Unknowingly, he had won over the cold-door genius Liu Yuan to his side.

Investing heavily in Liu Yuan, not to mention gifting various resources, breaking the rules to open the cross-continent teleportation array was enough to make people feel grateful.

Especially before he returned, Shen Wandou had once tested Luo Chen's abilities; this was clearly also testing the details of future opponents for Liu Yuan.

The young man glanced at Fu Chaosheng and roughly understood why the other party had such an expression.

Fu family's proud daughter Fu Qinglan, it is said that she has already signed up for this Five Hundred Year Grand Competition, wanting to get a glimpse of the direction of the Dao in that Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

In this way, Liu Yuan would inevitably become Fu Qinglan's opponent.

Compared to Liu Yuan, who had been in the Nascent Soul stage for a long time and was not far from the hundred-year limit, Fu Qinglan, who had only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a few years, was far behind.

Especially, the two's experience in facing enemies and fighting was even more different...

The young man smiled knowingly and didn't continue on this topic.

He patted the railing on the ship and smiled: "The teleportation array on Sun Moon Island is usually used to transport dead resources and is not very suitable for sending people. Therefore, those who want to enter the array must have a certain cultivation level to withstand that huge spatial pressure. Brother Fu should understand this point."

Fu Chaosheng gave an 'en' and handed over a list.

The young man took it and looked at it carefully.

The number of people on the list was not large, only a dozen or so, and most of them were Nascent Soul Jin Dan.

But when he saw the back, he couldn't help but frown.

"Why are there two monster beasts inside?"

"How can these Foundation Establishment juniors withstand the huge pressure of the teleportation array?"

"They are all under the command of this Wild Loose Practitioner Luo Chen, who is this person?"

Facing a series of inquiries, Fu Chaosheng was not panicked, but smiled and said: "The Wild Loose Practitioner is a newly rising powerhouse in the North Sea. Although he is a loose cultivator, his abilities are by no means inferior to us holy land sect members. It just so happens that the teleportation array needs preparation time, let me introduce him to you!"

The young man raised his eyebrows, scrutinized Fu Chaosheng carefully, and finally did not refuse.

However, as the two waited on the bow for a long time without seeing Luo Chen's shadow, the atmosphere became awkward.

"Hongzhang, go and see what the situation is with the Wild Loose Practitioner." Fu Chaosheng transmitted his voice.

Fu Hongzhang, who was on standby, did not hesitate and ran towards the Kunxiao Palace.

After a while, he returned in a hurry.

"Patriarch, according to True Person Luo's maid, his master is at a critical moment of researching secret techniques, so it will take a few more days to leave seclusion."

Fu Chaosheng was stunned.

Since parting at Bichao Palace, Luo Chen seemed to have stayed in Kunxiao Palace for more than a month!

What kind of secret technique requires this much time?

If it's not long, it shows the secret technique's power is not great.

If it's not short, not hesitating to make him wait in vain, it must have its own wonders.

However, the stronger Luo Chen was, the happier he was, how could he forcibly disturb him.

Turning around, he smiled apologetically: "Junior Brother Yu..."

The young man waved his hand generously, "If you don't see him, don't see him, anyway, there is no rush for a moment. However, he will have to explain the matter of that Foundation Establishment cultivator, otherwise, if an accident happens during the teleportation process, I will not be responsible."

Fu Chaosheng nodded quickly.

It's just that after the young man left, Fu Chaosheng showed a look of regret.

If he could take this opportunity to introduce Luo Chen to this person, the other party would likely be much smoother in the Star Gate in the future.

Now that Luo Chen is in seclusion, after he comes out, the teleportation array is estimated to be ready, and there won't be much time for the two to get to know each other.

In the secret room on the fifth floor of Kunxiao Palace.

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"So that's how it is."

The power of that roar from the Ghost Immortal Building was a natural divine ability of a wild beast, not something he could learn just by seeing it in a hurry.

However, another method revealed by the Ghost Immortal Building when it broke into the Ice Soul Spirit Mountain earlier gave him great inspiration.

That ghost immortal phantom surrounding the side could confuse the spiritual sense of Nascent Soul cultivators, thereby causing the enemy's attacks to deviate.

This kind of method is definitely a rare defensive soul technique!

It is a powerful method that even Han Zhan has not mastered.

Luo Chen was greatly surprised at that time, and after careful deliberation later, he found that he seemed to have possessed the basic conditions to learn this method.

Wild beast methods are not exquisite, but rather rough. It is just because of the difference in race that it hindered human research.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul True Person, they would definitely be confused and have no way to start, but he found the context.

The Ghost Immortal Building used wild beast source power as a medium, combining its terrifying evil spirit with its soul, thereby constructing that phantom surrounded by ghost immortals.

And in these three aspects, Luo Chen possessed the foundation.

Especially!

The illusion technique Mirror Flower Water Moon that he learned in his early years had long been perfect.

Later, borrowing a trace of the Ghost Immortal Building's foul energy in the Soul-Nurturing Wood, he created the second level of illusion 【Ghost Immortal Building】.

Relying on this move, he once made a Great Cultivator in the late Jin Dan stage retreat when he was in the middle Jin Dan stage.

However, in the end, it was the gap in the essence of the soul that made this move unable to do what it wanted when facing Nascent Soul cultivators, so Luo Chen rarely used this technique.

But now!

Luo Chen wanted to imitate the Ghost Immortal Building's defensive soul technique, and it became simple.

On the basis of the illusion 【Ghost Immortal Building】, constantly exploring, constantly optimizing, stimulating the huge evil spirit accumulated on his body over the years, and then using source power as an intermediary, weaving the soul in the sea of consciousness...

"My move may be slightly weaker in power compared to the Ghost Immortal Building, but it is more exquisite. Given time, maybe I can be better than the blue and surpass the other party!"

Muttering, Luo Chen's eyes opened suddenly.

Immediately, within a three-foot range of his body, the misty energy rose suddenly.

The rosy light permeated, and the steam rose.

The sound of cursing and shouting was endless.

Vaguely, faces that were either green or old appeared, men and women, and even phantoms of various monster beasts with ferocious faces struggled and rolled among them.

Although there was no magnificent scene of ghost immortals surrounding, there was a terrifying weirdness in the exquisite and subtle places.

Luo Chen closed his eyes.

The soul retracted, the source power returned, and all the phantoms dissipated instantly, as if nothing had happened.

But on the attribute panel, a brand new entry had appeared.

【Ghost God Retreat Entry 1/100】

It is classified under the soul technique column.

The moment he saw the entry appear, Luo Chen felt relieved.

This move was born from Mirror Flower Water Moon and can be seen as the third level of illusion of Mirror Flower Water Moon.

But since it can be listed separately, it shows that it has far surpassed the third-order illusion Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Just in terms of grade, it is thought to be at least above the fourth order.

And this kind of self-created cultivation method often has huge potential and still has room for excavation and optimization.

"It just so happens that the split soul I cultivated cannot withstand the tempering of the tribulation lightning power too much. In my spare time, I will use the power of the split soul to practice this technique and speed up the proficiency improvement!"

With a slight smile, Luo Chen even arranged the subsequent cultivation plan.

But for now, there is another important matter.

Luo Chen cleaned up simply, left the secret room refreshed, and summoned his subordinates to step onto Sun Moon Island.

"Wild Loose Practitioner, are you sure you can protect your subordinates?"

In front of an ancient hall protected by heavy formations, the young man from the Tianyuan Dao Sect looked at Luo Chen, who was also young, trying to confirm again.

Luo Chen glanced at the nervous Zhang Jingqing and smiled slightly.

The other party relaxed subconsciously.

Afterwards, Luo Chen looked at the young man calmly: "Fellow Daoist Yu, please rest assured, if others can protect their own cultivators, Luo can naturally protect Xiao Qing and the others."

Yu Ziyou frowned, "The Nascent Soul fellow daoists brought Jin Dan cultivators, which is very different from this junior."

Seeing Luo Chen insist, he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, he had already advised, if something really happened, it had nothing to do with him, Yu Ziyou.

His eyes swept over the fifteen people present, three Nascent Soul True Persons, each bringing four clansmen and subordinates.

Especially Luo Chen's side was the most peculiar.

Apart from the low-cultivation Zhang Jingqing, there were actually two monster beasts.

Tianxuan, who had not reached the fourth order but had transformed first.

Black King, who had reached the fourth order but had not transformed.

Especially the latter, the aura revealed on his body was clearly that of a wild beast!

This not only surprised Yu Ziyou, but even the other two Nascent Soul True Persons who had traveled together for half a year were shocked.

No one knew that the Nascent Soul early-stage Wild Loose Practitioner Luo Chen actually had a fourth-order wild beast as a spirit pet, and brought it all the way without letting anyone discover it.

If it weren't for the fact that taking the teleportation array required reporting the situation of all living beings, I'm afraid they still wouldn't have discovered it now.

"You guys adjust your state first, the teleportation array will start immediately."

Yu Ziyou said a word, then hurried into the hall.

Luo Chen stood outside, not pretending to be aloof, but started a simple conversation with the two accompanying Nascent Soul True Persons.

One was called Winter Mountain Person, and the other was named Lu Qiuzhen.

Both of these two were Nascent Soul cultivators who had been famous in the North Sea for a long time.

Especially the latter, Fu Chaosheng had exhorted him to make friends with him, because Lu Qiuzhen also took Fu Chaosheng's path and was going to join the Star Gate.

After chatting for a while, the three suddenly stopped talking.

The tightly closed palace gate slowly opened a corner.

Yu Ziyou's voice came from inside.

"Everyone, come in!"

The three looked at each other, and Lu Qiuzhen said: "Wild Loose Practitioner, you first!"

Luo Chen smiled freely, not being coy, and took Black King and the others into the palace.

As soon as he entered, he saw Fu Chaosheng standing with Yu Ziyou, looking at them with a smile.

"Let's go home together!"

Luo Chen was startled, then nodded slightly.

It is going home.

It's just that Fu Chaosheng is returning to his home in the Central Continent, while he, Luo Chen, is borrowing the road of the Central Continent to return to his home in the Eastern Wasteland.

Hopefully, the journey will be smooth.

After a stick of incense.

Boom!

A huge beam of light shot up into the sky from the central hall of Sun Moon Island, shining on the surrounding hundred miles.

Zhou Yunshen, who was boarding another ship with a group of clansmen, looked at the beam of light from afar and sighed softly.

"Fellow Daoist Luo has taken a step first."

This sound was complex in emotion.

Those who didn't know would think Luo Chen had died first.

In fact, it was Zhou Yunshen who had to take his clansmen over mountains and rivers, facing the danger of death, and take the water route to the Central Continent.

He only hoped that he would have a day to see Luo Chen again.

It was not about friendship, but because being able to see each other again meant that he was still alive.

"I will arrive later."

Zhou Yunshen withdrew his gaze and communicated with the other three Nascent Soul True Persons through spiritual sense.

This trip of theirs was not only to bring their clansmen and disciples to the Central Continent, but also to be responsible for escorting a batch of Tianyuan Alliance goods.

In a sense, they had already started working for the Tianyuan Dao Sect before joining the Star Gate.

Star Island.

A large island isolated from the Central Continent.

There is a fourth-order spirit vein on the island, and a large number of medicinal herbs are planted, which is truly a blessed land.

However, the real purpose of this island is not to cultivate spiritual medicine, but the teleportation array in the center of the island.

Connecting the North Sea and leading to the Southern Border, it is the hub of the north and south.

If it weren't for the teleportation array being too important, this place would definitely be extremely prosperous due to the coming and going of cultivators, and it wouldn't be so quiet.

But this quiet scenery was suddenly broken one day.

In the underground palace wrapped in heavy formations, a huge vibration sound came, and Tianyuan Dao Sect cultivators rushed from all directions.

They looked at the underground palace in surprise.

That is the center of the teleportation array. Ordinary people from other continents who teleport over will be restricted to the underground palace by the formation and cannot easily leave the island.

Such careful arrangement is also to prevent accidents.

But today, this kind of movement is really a bit unexpected.

"How many people were teleported from the North Sea, the consumption of spirit stones is so huge?"

"The upper limit of one teleportation is at most a hundred people, but this movement is more than a hundred people?"

"Hiss, you guys look, what is that?"

Blood!

Strands of fishy blood spread out from the underground palace, infiltrating the ground, dyeing the earth a reddish color.

The Tianyuan cultivators looked at each other, and a thought appeared in their minds.

Could it be that this batch of teleported people all died in the teleportation process?

If this is really the case, then this time it will be a big deal. The teleportation array that has not had an accident for thousands of years has died so many people at once.

Inside the underground palace.

The three Nascent Soul True Persons looked at Luo Chen in astonishment, and the huge Jiao dragon lying beside him.

The wide-open mouth was constantly vomiting blood.

The surging amount of blood flooded the underground palace, as if forming a river of blood.

Regarding this, Luo Chen smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Sorry, it was my negligence." ===== CHAPTER 687 =====
