Chapter 883

"Take them out!"

Facing Black King's request for credit, Luo Chen was not surprised.

This guy just likes to do this kind of thing.

Last time when pursuing the demon emperor, they were all busy exploring the traces of the great demon, only Black King secretly ran into the Dieyun Sect and got him dozens of jars of good wine.

This time it was the same.

It's just that considering True Person Ancestor Shenyuan's ability, Black King didn't dare to go too far at the time, only moving away some good things on Ancestor Shenyuan Peak.

A ball of black light was spat out from Black King's mouth, and Luo Chen's spiritual sense probed into it.

Books!

A large number of books, densely packed with hundreds or thousands of them.

Among them, ancient books with a long history occupied many, but there were also quite a few new classics.

Luo Chen casually took one and looked at it, and his mind could not help but immerse itself in it.

"Detailed Explanation of Five Elements Magic Spells"

After a while, he pulled his attention out of it, and a look of admiration could not help but appear on his face.

"I thought Ancestor Shenyuan's understanding of Five Elements magic spells was quite high, but I didn't expect it to be this high. Each series of magic spells, each level of hierarchy, all have insights and theories; during actual combat, they cooperate with each other, and the power is doubled."

"And looking at this classic, it is clear that this was only written when he was in the early Nascent Soul realm; he is worthy of being a genius of a generation!"

In admiration, Luo Chen scanned the general names of the other classics at a glance.

"Yangyi Dao Method · Supplement"

"Kongming Sword Canon"

"Seven True Core Formation Techniques"

"Five Elements Divine Pill"

There were so many classics that Luo Chen was almost dazzled.

Unlike ordinary high-level cultivators who only collect high-level Dao methods, True Person Ancestor Shenyuan's collection also included a large number of middle and low-level cultivation methods.

Like the "Seven True Core Formation Techniques" which recorded seven kinds of top-grade core formation secret techniques, it was listed among them.

Not only that, the "Dragon Slaying Technique" that Luo Chen learned in his early years was clearly listed!

Luo Chen flipped through it briefly and was surprised to find that the soul-slaying wonder that appeared after he cultivated to the Great Perfection was actually in the direction of Ancestor Shenyuan's prediction.

It's just that Ancestor Shenyuan experimented many times at the time and found that it could not succeed, so he only made a prediction and did not continue to improve this technique.

But he didn't expect that Luo Chen had instead verified his conjecture.

Luo Chen looked at the dazzling collection of books, and his mood was very good.

If he could digest these classics, not only could his knowledge grow a lot, but it could also allow him to go to a higher level in the way of techniques!

Thinking that True Person Ancestor Shenyuan had not comprehended the Law True Intent, but could perform powerful magic spells similar to divine abilities, one can see the other party's attainments in this aspect.

If it were an ordinary person, getting these things might not be of much use.

But for Luo Chen, it was like meeting a pillow when sleepy.

"Maybe I can use this to create another fire-path divine ability suitable for me?"

Luo Chen murmured, full of hope.

Unlike when he comprehended the Wither-Prosper true intent and then realized the divine ability Wither-Prosper Dao Finger, this time after comprehending the Fire Origin in the Pill Saint Blessed Land, Luo Chen did not gain a corresponding divine ability.

In fact, this is the norm!

Throughout history, there have been many who have comprehended the Law True Intent.

But divine ability techniques are often powerful means that strong individuals gradually summarize and improve in a large amount of cultivation later, slowly standing out from ordinary magic spells.

Especially the Five Elements Origin, the most basic Law True Intent, only lets cultivators understand its basic principles; corresponding divine abilities can only rely on themselves, or on the guidance of predecessors.

Like the batch of Dao Sect prodigies who comprehended the Law True Intent in the Mirage Dragon Cave back then, they didn't seem to have created any divine abilities themselves.

They still relied on sect rewards later to learn some great divine abilities left by predecessors.

As for whether they were compatible or not, Luo Chen didn't know.

However, creating divine abilities is time-consuming, and Luo Chen was not in a hurry for this moment.

He collected a large number of classics in one go, and then patted Black King's thick dragon back.

"Anything else?"

Black King was stunned, then gave a hehe smile.

"Knew I couldn't hide it from Master's eyes."

While speaking, another ball of black light was spat out from his mouth.

It's just that this time the brilliant five-colored light could not even be suppressed by Black King's source power.

Luo Chen's gaze condensed, and he spat out: "Five-Colored Pagoda!"

It was True Person Ancestor Shenyuan's life-bound magic treasure!

In that great battle, the number of magic treasures Ancestor Shenyuan used was not many, just two pieces.

One was a crystal flying sword, and the other was this pagoda.

The former was destroyed under the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, while the latter fought with Luo Chen's life-bound magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, for a long time, and finally was able to break away to cooperate with Ancestor Shenyuan to perform that extremely powerful combination magic spell.

It shows the extraordinary nature of this treasure!

And what made Luo Chen pay the most attention was that this treasure, like his Hunyuan Cauldron, belonged to things that possessed all five elements.

"Ancestor Shenyuan and I are indeed similar; not only are we both Five-Spirit-Root constitutions, but even the life-bound magic treasures we chose are so similar."

In emotion, Luo Chen took the Five-Colored Pagoda and played with it carefully.

At this moment, the pagoda, because its master had fallen and their minds were connected, was severely damaged.

A large number of formation patterns collapsed, and spiritual energy leaked out from time to time.

This was also the main reason why Luo Chen discovered that Black King had secretly hidden this thing.

In his research, Luo Chen slowly discovered some wonderful uses of this treasure.

Similar to the Hunyuan Cauldron, it mainly suppresses!

From this aspect, one can also see that the early cultivation directions of Ancestor Shenyuan and Luo Chen were quite similar.

Five-Spirit-Root cultivators have vigorous magic power, but in cultivation, it is easy to absorb mixed spiritual energy.

Therefore, besides the killing function, the life-bound magic treasure must also have the effect of suppressing magic power agitation and refining magic power impurities.

"If it were in its prime, the value of this treasure would not be inferior to the Hunyuan Cauldron, but it's a pity..."

Luo Chen shook his head and threw the Five-Colored Pagoda out.

This thing was severely damaged and of little use to him.

Perhaps after being repaired, it could reproduce three-tenths of its prime power, but that would be too time-consuming and laborious.

The current Luo Chen does not lack one or two such treasures.

Seeing this, Black King's eyes instantly lit up.

However, before he could receive the pagoda, that thing spun and fell back into Luo Chen's hand.

"Master?"

Luo Chen ignored his astonishment.

Because at this time, all of Luo Chen's attention was invested in the Five-Colored Pagoda.

Not only spiritual sense scanning and magic power injection, but his fingertips also cast magic formulas, landing on the pagoda.

As the magic formulas took effect, those incomplete formations were drawn and operated one after another.

Although it was quite unsmooth, Luo Chen didn't care.

What he cared about was another thing!

A wisp of Wither-Prosper fire emerged, landing on the pagoda, and began to burn slowly.

Because of the power of this Tier 5 divine fire, Black King did not dare to be noisy anymore, and could only pull Luo Chen to fly rapidly toward the south.

After a long time, Luo Chen's slightly surprised self-talk came from his back again.

"Almost missed it!"

"I didn't expect Ancestor Shenyuan to be willing to spend such a large cost, adding a small piece of Breathing Soil into it when refining his life-bound magic treasure!"

He definitely didn't see it wrong; under the testing of various casting techniques, he had indeed detected the existence of Breathing Soil from the Five-Colored Pagoda.

Although it was very weak, it was estimated that it was only the size of a fingernail in total.

But that is the Breathing Soil in myths and legends!

In legends, Breathing Soil only needs a small piece to block floods and fill the sea!

Of course, a small piece inside the Five Elements Pagoda and a small piece in myths and legends certainly cannot be compared.

But no matter what, the essence will not change.

It is Breathing Soil after all!

It is the ancestor of many high-level earth-attribute mineral materials such as Su Mud and Yan Soil.

Luo Chen has a deep understanding of the difficulty of finding such "Earth Treasures".

The "Heavenly Soil" seen in the Demon-Falling Land back then was a semi-finished product that the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven tried to reverse-refine Breathing Soil by collecting a large amount of earth-attribute materials and cooperating with the Earth Origin Law

True Intent.

It can be seen that even a generation of Demon Lords could not find this thing; that True Person Ancestor Shenyuan could add this material to his own life-bound magic treasure shows his deep fortune.

"I don't know where he got it from?"

A thought flashed by, but it was only a flash.

Luo Chen only had an excited mood now and didn't want to delve into it at all.

When Tian Tian Yezi refined the Hunyuan Cauldron for him back then, he once said that if Breathing Soil, a top-tier Earth Treasure, could be added to the Hunyuan Cauldron, it could make it more perfect!

Luo Chen didn't know how perfect it could be, but he knew that at least the tragic situation of the life-bound magic treasure cracking last time would not happen.

"It's cheap for me, haha!"

In the laughter, Luo Chen couldn't care about recovering to his peak state, using the magic power he had just recovered, driving the Wither-Prosper True Fire to start burning and refining the Five-Colored Pagoda on a large scale.

He wanted to destroy all the formations on the pagoda, discard the useless materials, and extract the raw materials he needed.

Breathing Soil is the most important goal!

But other materials that can be integrated with Breathing Soil must also not be low in grade.

If suitable, Luo Chen would also keep them.

At that time, he would integrate them into the Hunyuan Cauldron through casting techniques, thereby improving the foundation of his life-bound magic treasure.

Black King could feel the movements on his back, and naturally understood his master's thoughts.

He could not help but feel sad secretly.

That was a treasure he had picked up after secretly cleaning up the battlefield.

The slight Breathing Soil aura contained within it had a natural attraction for him, who had integrated the remnant soul of the desolate beast Stone Dragon.

"Forget it, it's just junk after all, let Master be happy, I still have treasures here!"

Black King thought happily, carrying Luo Chen further and further away, and the Southern Frontier seemed to be in sight.

The name of the Mountain and Sea Realm has a long history.

It originates from the countless mountains and numerous rivers and seas in this realm, hence it is called the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The realm is divided into five continents: East, South, West, North, and Center.

But this is actually not the whole of the Mountain and Sea Realm, just because a large number of human races live on these five continents, they use this as the center to divide the landscape of the realm.

Outside the five continents, there are still millions of great mountains, endless demon seas, and desolate lands where human traces are rare.

Just like this Southern Frontier, why is it so mysterious in the eyes of cultivators from other continents?

It is not only because the cultivators of this continent have strange temperaments and are difficult to contact, but also because the landscape of the Southern Frontier has several natural barriers to the outside world, blocking the active exploration of low-level cultivators from the outside world.

Like the Southern Ocean, which contains countless Gu insects, shielding the connection between the south and the north.

And in the southeast and southwest where they border, there are dangerous places known as the "Wilderness of Mist", which are difficult to cross.

The Southern Frontier has many mountains, is humid, and miasma is pervasive, gathering between the mountains and wilderness, forming a large amount of fog.

These fogs seem to only block the line of sight, but actually contain a large amount of toxins, which are hard to guard against.

Low-level cultivators dare not go deep into them at all, let alone cross them.

But for the local cultivators of the Southern Frontier, the Wilderness of Mist, which cultivators from other continents feel is full of danger, is a natural treasure land!

Where living things are hard to approach, there are many heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside!

And because no one disturbs them, the treasures inside are more precious with the accumulation of years.

Therefore, the Southern Frontier cultivation world gave birth to a profession over time—Mountain Seekers!

As the name suggests, they are people who seek treasures in the mountains.

They have similarities with the herb gatherers of the Eastern Wasteland and the fishermen of the North Sea.

All are looking for treasures by going deep into places where human traces are rare.

But unlike the two who go into the mountains to gather herbs and go to the sea to fish, Mountain Seekers have higher requirements.

Not only do they need strong force, but they also need outstanding knowledge, so as not to go into the Wilderness of Mist with great difficulty, only to miss treasures they don't recognize.

Cheng Bai is such a Mountain Seeker.

His realm is not high, only around the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, but his background is quite large, belonging to one of the thirty-six cave masters of the Wind Thunder Gorge, under the strongest Brother Minglei Cave Master.

In the outside world, often no one dares to provoke him.

But at this moment, he was incomparably cautious.

Being in the Wilderness of Mist, not only must he prevent the ubiquitous poisonous miasma and elusive Gu demons, but especially he must guard against other Mountain Seekers.

Once his own whereabouts are exposed and flaws are revealed, others don't care about your background; killing people and seizing treasures is the most common thing.

With a poison-avoiding elixir in his mouth and wearing stealth treasure clothes, Cheng Bai moved rapidly toward his destination.

"According to the records in the map of the Mountain Seeker I robbed and killed last time, a seven-zhang-long broken-tailed alligator dragon is entrenched in the Poison Dragon Pool not far ahead."

"Alligator dragons are very common, but broken-tailed alligator dragons are rare."

"Generally, when this kind of broken-tailed alligator dragon appears, it is often because there are phaseless Gu larvae parasitizing it, making the alligator dragon unable to bear the pain and itching, so it will actively break its tail."

Thinking of the phaseless Gu, Cheng Bai's calm mood could not help but become a bit more fiery.

Phaseless Gu, one of the high-level Gu insects.

It is a famous combat-type Gu insect, which can make a cultivator's figure phaseless and phantom-like, having excellent auxiliary effects whether fighting or escaping.

If he can capture one, even if it is just a juvenile, once sold, he won't have to worry about resources for cultivating to the Golden Core stage in the future.

As for the sales channel

?? He had even inquired about it before coming.

Brother Minglei Cave Master is cultivating a magic spell called "Lightning Flash Method", and urgently needs phaseless Gu for assistance.

If he captures one, he can hand it over.

With Brother Minglei Cave Master's well-known generous personality, at the very least he will give him a large reward, and at the very most he will take him into his sect, giving him hope for achieving the Golden Core stage in the future.

"Must succeed!"

Cheng Bai lifted the fork in his hand; this is a low-grade magic treasure he specifically used to capture the broken-tailed alligator dragon, which he even borrowed from a trusted friend.

However, as he cautiously groped to the Poison Dragon Pool, he did not see the shadow of the broken-tailed alligator dragon.

"Asleep?"

"Shouldn't be!"

"Now is the spring season; whether it is hunting outside or mating and breeding, it is the season when they are most active."

Cheng Bai patiently checked for a while and finally found a trace of grass and trees being crushed.

Sure enough, it hadn't moved its nest!

It should have gone hunting outside.

Cheng Bai licked his lips and began to set up a rough encirclement formation around the Poison Dragon Pool.

Preparing to capture it in one fell swoop after the broken-tailed alligator dragon returns.

However, after waiting for a day and a night, no trace was seen.

He had patience, but if the prey went hunting outside and instead perished, then he would have made a wasted trip.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Bai first checked the formation he had set up, then followed the traces and began to chase the whereabouts of the broken-tailed alligator dragon.

Ten miles, fifty miles, one hundred miles...

When it exceeded the normal activity range of the alligator dragon, Cheng Bai's heart could not help but lift.

What kind of prey would make the broken-tailed alligator dragon leave its territory and chase so far?

Suddenly!

His pupils shrank, and his body trembled slightly.

Within his line of sight, there were a large number of low-level demon beasts crouching on the ground in front, shivering and unable to move, as if suppressed by something.

One alligator dragon without a tail was quite eye-catching.

That was the target of his deep entry into the Wilderness of Mist this time!

However, this was not the point; the point was the reason for so many demon beasts gathering.

A nameless barren mountain stood among the demon beast group.

On that barren mountain, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thundered.

This kind of celestial phenomenon did not look man-made, as if it were naturally generated.

"Could it be that a strange treasure has been born?"

In rumors, when top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures are born, they often attract celestial phenomena.

Especially when some high-level spirits become sentient, they will trigger changes in heaven, similar to great demons transforming and powerhouses crossing tribulations.

And unlike great demons with intelligence, these spirits grow in ignorance

?? Their ability to deal with disasters is extremely average.

Often after successful sentience, they will fall into extreme weakness.

If one can take advantage of their weakness and put them into one's pocket, I am afraid the gains will far exceed a broken-tailed alligator dragon and a phaseless Gu larva!

In an instant, Cheng Bai's heart was incomparably fiery!

However, the next moment, his face changed drastically.

A small cauldron flew out from the barren mountain uncontrollably, spun around in the dark clouds, and then its brilliance converged, disappearing into the mountain belly.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Bai's heart instantly turned cold.

"No!"

"It's not a strange treasure being born, but a powerhouse refining a top-tier magic treasure here!"

He dared not covet it, controlled his aura, and cautiously retreated.

However, a rough voice came from the barren mountain, shaking his blood and making his primordial spirit sway.

"Little friend, since you are here, why be in such a hurry to leave?"

That voice was like thunder, and wherever it passed, one low-level demon beast after another directly burst open, turning into puffs of blood mist.

Even the broken-tailed alligator dragon with extremely strong defense did not escape this fate.

Cheng Bai was terrified and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"The junior is a Mountain Seeker under Brother Minglei Cave Master, unintentionally disturbing the senior's quiet cultivation, please spare the little one's life!"

"Oh?"

In the rough voice, a faint sound of doubt came.

"This seat has not been out in the world for a long time, but I don't know when the Southern Frontier added a character like Brother Minglei Cave Master?"

While speaking, a great force erupted for no reason, capturing Cheng Bai to the foot of the mountain from far away.

Cheng Bai's face was terrified, but his heart actually relaxed a bit.

Although he didn't know where this old monster came from, it was good to have something to talk about!

The mountain rocks shook, and a large gate slowly opened.

A figure walked out from it, wearing a high crown with feathers, a dazzling jade belt hanging at his waist, a black armor covering his body, and stepping on cloud shoes, clearly standing on flat ground but as if on the clouds.

Especially that incomparably young and handsome face made Cheng Bai's eyes jump.

Where did such a young old monster come from?
