Chapter 114: Landing on Long Dao

Yes, Zhang Xuan has set his sights on Long Dao in the Chang Sheng Jie, a small world dungeon he determined was suitable for his current level after much consideration.

Long Dao poses no small problem for powerful cultivators, especially for Qingdi; the Ancient Stele on Long Dao that eternally suppresses the island would have a certain influence on Qingdi, suppressing his strength and realm to a terrifying level.

Perhaps it might not be able to suppress him, but as long as there is a significant possibility, he would not take that risk; after all, the risk and reward for him going to Long Dao are not proportional.

Chang Sheng Jie does indeed have extremely rich Immortal Substance, but Qingdi has not reached his true twilight years; he still has a very long time to live and is not in a hurry.

He will not immediately go to extend his lifespan either; Qingdi is not like those Ancient Emperors and Heavenly Venerables in the Forbidden Zones who have reached a critical juncture.

For Qingdi, that is not a good option, but for Zhang Xuan, Long Dao can be considered a fairly good area.

"The Indestructible Heavenly Art most requires the most powerful Origin in heaven and earth, and the more powerful the Origin, the more powerful the protectors around it and the entity itself will be; it is not easy to obtain."

"For me, Long Dao is actually one of the best choices."

Because Long Dao has a Heaven-Sent Ancient Stele, all existences of the once strongest race in Chang Sheng Jie—the Dragon Race—were suppressed; regardless of whether they were powerful or not, they would all be suppressed by that Ancient Stele into a state of ignorance, possessing only animal instincts.

This would make this group of strongest races become weak in power, but this does not mean their Origin is poor; they are still one of the strongest races in heaven and earth.

Going to Long Dao, although there are still not small risks, is overall controllable; at the very least, the Heavenly Stele suppresses everyone's strength and realm to a certain level, which is advantageous for a person like Zhang Xuan.

"I must go and try; time will not wait for me!"

Zhang Xuan stood beside the Fire Qilin, and seeing that the Fire Qilin had not died but instead its aura was gradually growing stronger, he raised his eyebrows slightly and took two Flat Peaches from the Plantation, placing them directly in front of the Fire Qilin.

The rich Life Essence made the Fire Qilin's dim eyes light up; it looked at the young man in front of it with some trepidation, feeling a bit at a loss.

It had been sleeping soundly in Lingyun Grotto when someone suddenly broke in and beat it up, and also used some inexplicable means to extract something from its body, making it feel as if its entire body had been hollowed out; now, this person who had beaten it up suddenly threw two fruits at it.

The fruits were fragrant and rich in Life Essence; it could not understand what this person in front of it was trying to do.

However, seeing the young man's expression turn slightly fierce, the Fire Qilin hurriedly stretched out its head and, without caring about anything else, swallowed the two fruits in front of it in one gulp.

It gave up thinking.

Anyway, the intention of this person in front of it must be to let it eat these fruits, so it would just do it, to avoid getting beaten again later.

Zhang Xuan watched and nodded slightly; his figure moved, and the next moment he turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Leaving the Fire Qilin in Lingyun Grotto looking bewildered.

On Earth in the Zhetian World, Zhang Xuan returned to his residence once again.

Above his head, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal was still operating, and a continuous stream of fire-attribute power poured into his body, making his whole body feel comfortable; at the same time, it was continuously changing the state of his body, and crimson waves surged in his Bitter Sea, with thunder and lightning flashing.

"It seems my guess was not wrong; for natural exotic beasts like the Fire Qilin, there are only four in an entire world, and the corresponding Origin contained within their bodies is absolutely extremely rich and pure, not inferior to a Divine Body or King Body."

Zhang Xuan could feel that subtle changes were taking place in the deepest part of his body; that was his Origin being strengthened.

And in terms of external manifestation, his physical body had obviously become more powerful, and his whole body had a sense of transparency; he could feel a force wandering through his limbs and bones.

His bones became more solid, his muscles became powerful, and the broken hair on his head seemed to be growing.

He even felt that his own state was moving backward, heading toward younger years.

This is a manifestation of the life Origin further increasing, leading to a synchronous increase in the corresponding lifespan.

Just like true top-tier physiques, even if the corresponding strength and realm have not reached a very high level, the lifespan will have a great increase.

The top-tier corresponding physiques in Beidou all have lifespans far exceeding the corresponding mortal bodies; this is one of the manifestations of their unique internal Origin.

At the same time, the Dao Palace, which had always been difficult to open, was stimulated by the vigorous Origin here, plus the several Blood Bodhi and Kunlun Flat Peaches that Zhang Xuan had already consumed and which had grown, finally slowly opened.

Where the heart is located, vigorous Life Essence gushed out, and a god exactly the same as Zhang Xuan slowly revived within it.

Thump, thump!

The sound of the heart beating like a war drum spread out; every beat was deep and powerful, as if a God of War in an ancient battlefield was beating a drum to cheer for the army.

The heart is located within the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and it belongs to fire; the Fire Qilin's related Origin seemed to have boosted this process, making the first Shen Zang opened in Zhang Xuan's body the Heart Divine Treasury.

Vigorous Essence Wolf Smoke shot straight out from Zhang Xuan's crown, and the vigorous blood boiled in his body like a great river rushing.

His bones made creaking sounds, and the collision between the bones became denser, making the whole body harder.

"Hoo!"

It took a long time for this transformation to stop; Zhang Xuan exhaled gently, and a look of joy could not help but appear on his face.

"Being able to form Essence Wolf Smoke when breaking through, my physique is now at least not inferior to the corresponding King Body and Divine Body; the path of cultivation is indeed advancing steadily, and the effect of the Fire Qilin's Origin is truly beyond reason."

Zhang Xuan was excited in his heart; compared to the investment and risk in the Resident Evil world last time, this fight with the Fire Qilin was basically risk-free, and he defeated the Fire Qilin and obtained its Origin very calmly.

He paid very little, but the harvest was much greater than the previous round.

"Sure enough, I must find those very famous Saint Beasts or Sacred Beasts; only then will the Origin obtained be truly vigorous, and it will also give me a great increase in potential."

Zhang Xuan thought to himself, and at the same time, he became interested in that evil dragon from the Wind and Cloud World that had not yet appeared.

"The Fire Qilin can be said to be the bottom-tier existence among the Four Great Sacred Beasts, and even its Origin can bring me such a big change; then how much change will the evil dragon, the head of the Four Great Sacred Beasts, bring me?"

The Four Great Sacred Beasts do not have a true ranking, but judging from the strength shown by the Four Great Sacred Beasts, that evil dragon is indeed the most special one.

After all, the Phoenix Origin of the Phoenix, Di Shitian or Xu Fu swallowed it directly by himself, without needing to share it with others at all.

The Black Tortoise is about the same, and because the Dragon Origin of the evil dragon is too vigorous and powerful, it was divided into multiple portions and consumed by multiple people, and it was still able to create multiple top-tier peerless experts.

It can be said that in terms of the richness of the Origin, the evil dragon should be the first.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan could not help but lick his lips, a little wanting to go find the evil dragon.

"No need to be so urgent for now; Di Shitian's whereabouts are erratic, and if he doesn't come out himself, it is difficult for others to find him. Going over now is a complete waste of time; rather than looking for Di Shitian, it is better to go to Long Dao first; time is very precious."

Zhang Xuan has always used Ye Fan's cultivation speed and standards to measure himself; as of now, he should be temporarily leading Ye Fan, but Ye Fan's cultivation speed cannot be measured by common sense. He was opposed by many Holy Lands and aristocratic families in the entire Eastern Region, and basically, the big aristocratic families and Holy Lands had hunted him down, but even so, his cultivation speed did not lag at all.

The further he went, the faster his cultivation speed became; in just twenty years, he had already become a Saint Master-level figure, capable of roaming the entire Beidou.

Zhang Xuan has some achievements for now, but he does not dare to be proud at all.

"Go to Long Dao first."

Long Dao currently has quite a few dangers, but relatively speaking, it is still controllable; as long as one does not actively seek death, many things can have a turning point.

The key is that Long Dao has an unimaginably rich Origin during this period.

The Ancestor Dragon is about to be born, and the top-tier Dragon Kings will all give birth to offspring during this period; Dragon Eggs are everywhere, and Xiao Chen alone ate several Dragon Eggs and stole several more.

The Ancestor Dragon will appear among the descendants of many Dragon Kings, requiring countless Dragon Kings to contend, and finally, a self-strengthening Ancestor Dragon will emerge.

And among the descendants of many Dragon Kings, most of those newborn Dragon Kings will die.

Zhang Xuan has a very intense interest in this.

"The Origin of any Dragon King should be no less than a Divine Body or a King Body; swallowing a few in succession will definitely be of huge help to me.

However, I should reasonably give an account for many things now."

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment, directly took out ten Blood Bodhi, and then sent a Red Packet in the Chat Group.

Ding, the Red Packet you sent has been claimed!

Originally, no one was bubbling up in the Chat Group, but after Zhang Xuan sent the Red Packet, a group of people jumped out immediately.

Xiao Meng who has returned to secular life: 【Big shot 666, how did you get so many Blood Bodhi? Are the Blood Bodhi in the Plantation ripe?】

Qiao Feng: 【Many thanks, Senior!】

Xiao Chen: 【Senior is generous!】

……

All kinds of flowery compliments were spoken freely; Zhang Xuan listened without taking it to heart, only Xiong Ba looked slightly worried.

He also snatched a wave of Red Packets and obtained one Blood Bodhi from the Red Packet.

He knows a lot about Blood Bodhi.

He clearly knows that the Blood Bodhi in his hand is the original version, absolutely not enhanced by any relevant Plantation.

Looking at it this way, the overall situation is very bad.

This shows that it is very likely that Zhang Xuan went to his Shi Jie for a trip.

And Zhang Xuan did not hide it, speaking bluntly.

Zhang Xuan: 【I heard there is such a miraculous item as Blood Bodhi, so I took the time to visit Lingyun Grotto. I happened to see quite a few Blood Bodhi in Lingyun Grotto, so I picked some!

Of course, it was actually more for myself. My own cultivation technique is special and requires the Origin of some self-strengthening creatures to make me even stronger. I am very interested in the Fire Qilin in Lingyun Grotto, so I specifically went to Lingyun Grotto.】

As soon as Xiong Ba heard this, he immediately associated it with the few techniques hanging at the very top of the Group File: Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and Indestructible Heavenly Art.

After joining the Chat Group, he did very few things and was basically in a low-profile stage.

But he did not do few things; at the very least, he had studied all kinds of cultivation methods, especially the few top-tier methods listed at the very front.

He has a certain understanding of Indestructible Heavenly Art and Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.

Hearing this on the spot, he shivered.

But he dared not say anything more in the Chat Group, and instead congratulated him.

Xiong Ba: 【The Fire Qilin has committed many evils in the martial arts world. Top figures in the martial arts world have gone to Lingyun Grotto many times to slay demons and eliminate evil, but returned without success. I didn't expect Senior to succeed this time.】

Zhang Xuan: 【Actually, it wasn't that successful. The Fire Qilin was beaten half to death by me. It should be silently recovering its vitality for a long time to come. Actually, I would like to go to the Shi Jie where Brother Xiao Chen is for a trip next, wanting to practice. I don't know if Brother Xiao Chen agrees or not?】

Xiong Ba was silently crying on the side. Zhang Xuan went to his Shi Jie without even asking, while he had to ask carefully before going to Xiao Chen's Shi Jie. The differential treatment made him quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Xuan did not care at all, while Xiao Chen was overjoyed.

After carefully looking at Zhang Xuan's corresponding strength, he immediately nodded in agreement.

He is currently Tier 3, belonging to the weakest batch on the entire Long Dao.

And having understood his subsequent fate, he knows that before long, a large group of figures from Chang Sheng Jie will land on the island, and they will harbor malice; many will directly take action.

With his strength, surviving on Long Dao is still quite difficult. Having Zhang Xuan, a person who has reached the level of a God, walking side by side with him, he is still very happy.

Compared to the many figures from Chang Sheng Jie whom he is completely unfamiliar with, although the members of the Chat Group are not very familiar with each other, at least they have the Chat Group as a link, and the sense of trust between them feels a degree higher.

And Zhang Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing Xiao Chen's approval.

He carefully looked at his slightly empty home; he did not carry any utensils.

When going to the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying, he needed to do his best to prepare and bought all kinds of things, but later found that those were useless.

And now, with his corresponding strength, ordinary swords, spears, sticks, and clubs have little meaning to him.

Just simply taking a bundle and packing a few pieces of clothing, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and then chose to teleport without hesitation.

"Heading to Chang Sheng Jie, to Xiao Chen's side, on Long Dao!"

Peculiar spatial fluctuations bloomed on Zhang Xuan's body, and then along countless peculiar lines of cause and effect and fate, connected to Chang Sheng Jie.

……

In Chang Sheng Jie, on Long Dao, Xiao Chen, who was hiding behind the bushes, suddenly widened his eyes.

He had just invited Zhang Xuan to come to Long Dao with him in the Chat Group, and not long after he agreed, he saw a figure outlined in the space in front of him.

A figure with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, full of vigor, was outlined by the void and stood in front of him.
