Avoiding the Storm, Gaining Killing Intent; Crossing the Ember Sea, Encountering a Strange Snake

After sorting out Storage Ring, Xiao Chen, then use Essence Replenishing Pill to refine the true essence on the island.

After another two days of this, the fog blocking the road ahead finally dissipated, revealing the blue sea.

It's just that one wave keeps rising after another.

After setting off and walking less than 150,000 miles, the clear sky gradually dimmed and was covered by continuous dark clouds.

"I can't be so unlucky that I encountered a thunderstorm just after I came out, right?"

Xiao Chen Looking around, the thousands of miles that can be seen ahead become increasingly hazy as you go deeper.

In fact, thunderstorms are not a big problem in themselves for monks.

Under normal circumstances, if you see an unusual celestial phenomenon, you can avoid it in advance.

Unless they do it intentionally, few people would take the risk by diving into a thunderstorm.

Specifically at the moment, for Xiao Chen, he is more worried about the thunderstorm disturbing the surrounding high-level Sea Fish.

Once faced with that situation, being surrounded by a large number of Golden Core Sea Fish without a foothold, or encountering Nascent Soul Sea Fish, are extremely dangerous things.

"It's not a good idea to go back and wait. Let's just take a detour."

Xiao Chen doesn't want to go back to the island and wait.

First of all, the duration of thunderstorms is uncertain, and they may move, so the small island behind may not be safe.

Secondly, his escape speed is much faster than normal Golden Core, and taking a detour is faster than staying where he is and waiting.

So Xiao Chen turned around, leaning against the edge of the dark clouds, and turned to the southeast.

"Boom!"

Huge lightning fell straight from the sky, and the powerful oppression could be felt thousands of miles away.

Eastern Domain roughly divides thunderstorms into three categories: large, medium and small according to different levels of danger.

Xiao Chen Visually estimated that this should be the most advanced large thunderstorm.

In front of such Might of Heaven and Earth, Golden Core cultivator can only look up, and Nascent Soul Cultivator can only hang around in the periphery.

Probably only the legendary Spirit Transformation monks have the ability to approach and travel through Core Area.

"Hey, what is that?"

Xiao Chen Suddenly saw, under the explosion of purple-white electric light in the distance, what seemed to be a huge figure jumping out of the sea.

However, he was pressed down by lightning in an instant.

Many conjectures suddenly appeared in his mind.

Oops, could it be Spirit Transmutation Demonic Beast?

You can see it from such a distance, it must be tens of thousands of feet in size, right?

There are not many Demon Beasts with such a huge size. Could it be the legendary Kunpeng?

"Boom~!"

More lightning fell, and the lightning flashes dazzled people's eyes. In addition, the distance was too far, and it was impossible to see what was happening tens of thousands of miles away.

If you want to know the truth, you have to go there.

However, as the ancients said, curiosity killed the cat.

So Xiao Chen honestly retracted his gaze and walked away at a faster speed in the opposite direction.

Let's explore the situation over there later.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The thunder in the distance had long since disappeared, and there was a heavy rain in the middle. Then the sky for thousands of miles was as clear as a blue, with not even a cloud in it.

It was August 16th, and the full moon hung in the sky like a White Jade disk, casting a silvery glow.

"Hi~, where have I been?"

Xiao Chen Looking along the moonlight, there is a dense mist floating in front of the sea where the sky meets.

When I got a little closer, I realized that it was not a light mist, but Dark Purple Algae floating on the sea and swaying with the waves.

This swarm of algae stretches as far as the eye can see, covering at least a thousand miles in radius.

A faint light lit up at the tip of the algae leaves, like a star falling into the sea, attracting piles of small fish to chase it back and forth.

Xiao Chen silently increased the distance between Flying Sword and the sea, just in case.

He is not one of those little fishes. He fully understands that in Cultivation World, the more beautiful things are, the more likely they are to be dangerous, including people.

So when I encounter such a strange scene now, while admiring it, I am even more vigilant.

After walking about a thousand miles, a weeping willow tree six feet tall appeared on the sea.

It stretches out tens of thousands of willow branches and sticks to the sea.

Underneath those willow branches, they are all wrapped with dense seaweed, especially the parts deep into the water, which are almost integrated into one body.

"A Willow Tree growing on the sea?"

Xiao Chen I'm a little surprised. Is this location a little strange?

"Wow~!"

When he stopped to watch curiously, there was the sound of water below.

Looking down, I saw that it was a Sea Fish that was as big as Late-stage Golden Core. The front half of its body was already wrapped in Willow Tree roots, and it was swinging its tail desperately.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before it was completely wrapped up by Dark Purple Algae and turned into nourishment.

"What a good thing, this can't be counted as Fourth-Tier Spirit Wood!"

Xiao Chen looked at the Willow Tree plant, and without joking, if it could be packed up and taken away in its entirety, it shouldn't be a problem to sell such a big plant for 18 million Spirit Stone.

But in a sense, this Willow Tree should be considered half a Nascent Soul.

The level of Sea Fish just now is not low, but it has no power to fight back.

It can be seen that this Willow Tree tree is quite fierce, and he is really not sure that he can win it at the moment.

"Oh, Nascent Soul."

Xiao Chen is a bit regretful. If I had Nascent Soul cultivation, I could pick up a spiritual object for free today.

But the problem is no, I can only write down the approximate location for the time being and leave it to the future.

Originally, he was ready to continue on his way, but when Yu Jian left, he saw a tree root emerging from the sea.

In an instant, it bounced hundreds of feet and headed straight for him.

You know, in order to ensure safety, Xiao Chen is a full three hundred feet away from the sea.

However, the roots of the tree grew too much, dozens of times longer than the body of the weeping willow tree.

"Bang!"

The Jade Terrace Fire Lotus that bloomed in time shook and was directly shattered into twenty-four layers. A large number of broken flames fell from the sky like rain, igniting many seaweeds.

Suddenly, flames rose from the In-Between Sea's face, which was so spectacular.

However, there were more tree roots, ignoring the raging fire, rising into the sky and surrounding it from all directions.

"True Yang Fire Dragon!"

Xiao Chen With a soft drink, the huge fire dragon appeared, taking his place and blocking the roots rising one after another below.

At the same time, he immediately pulled up the height, trying to stay away from the weird Willow Tree below.

As if sensing that the prey was about to escape, a branch from the weeping willow pulled out from the sea and stabbed straight into the air.

Its speed is so fast that it far exceeds the Golden Core cultivator limit.

In an instant, he caught up with Xiao Chen and wrapped himself around the fire lotus.

Just this one willow branch directly stopped his movement.

There is no doubt that this is not only a Nascent Soul Stage weeping willow, but it may also have reached Nascent Soul Late Stage.

But there is good news. This Willow Tree tree doesn't seem to be conscious or it doesn't care too much about this battle.

.

Maybe for it, this is just a routine prey.

For Xiao Chen, this is his chance to break free.

It is extremely dangerous to physically cross Far Sea. If Night's Edge can be used without it, try to keep it as long as possible.

So he immediately offered Wind Thunder Pair Swords: "Sharpness Provokes the Clouds!"

Thanks to the warmth of Xiao Chen in Life Core during this period, coupled with the effectiveness of Azure Sky Sword Cleansing Leaf.

Wind Thunder Pair Swords's power was superior to that of the previous ruins, and it cut off the willow branch directly from underneath him.

The half of the wicker wrapped around it was disconnected, and immediately lost its strength and became relaxed.

But in just such a short time, Jade Terrace Fire Lotus was broken into three layers.

If it weren't for Xiao Chen's hundredfold blessing, I would have been tied up by Wu Hua Da by now.

"Crack~!"

However, the weeping willow did not give up, and the severed willow branch suddenly shot upward again.

However, he did not choose to repeat his old tricks and continued to bind and entangle.

Instead, it squirmed irregularly, and then a small stream of Yin Sha Qi spurted out from the middle, heading straight for Xiao Chen.

Facing the invasion of Sha Qi, both Jade Terrace Fire Lotus and Ghost Mask Profound Light Shield seemed to have turned into decorations.

The bright Body Protecting Profound Light seems to not exist, allowing Sha Qi to penetrate directly.

"Huh?"

Feeling the Yin evil entering his body, Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and before Sha Qi could take effect, he skillfully activated <Profound Heaven Ingestion Secret Method> to refine it on the spot.

"Hi~, this feeling is Yin Wood Sars!"

As Secret Method was running, he immediately identified the type of Sha Qi.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked at Willow Tree below.

This is not enough!

Ordinary monks dare not seek Nascent Soul Tree Demon's benefits, but Xiao Chen has Hextech's body protection.

Although Night's Edge cannot be used easily, now is undoubtedly the right time.

With this confidence, he immediately stopped in mid-air. Not only did he not distance himself to avoid it, but he moved slightly closer to the willow branch.

"Chi~!"

The willow branch once again sprayed out a stream of Yin Sha Qi from the broken opening as a means of attacking prey.

Under normal circumstances, its prey cannot absorb Sha Qi, but will quickly die under the erosion of Sha Qi.

At that time, as long as it is absorbed in time, the used Yin Sha Qi can be recovered, and there will be almost no loss.

However, this time, it was about to miscalculate.

Xiao Chen not only completed the collection in an instant, but even took the initiative to approach again, wanting to get more Sha Qi.

Not enough, please give me some more!

Sensing that the prey was still moving, Liuzhi hesitated humanely, seeming to be thinking about why the prey was different.

Based on usual hunting experience, two sprays of Golden Core Great Perfection and Mutated Sea Fish should be enough.

But after all, it was born on the sea, and it has relied on instinct for thousands of years.

So after a brief hesitation, he still sprayed out a stream of Yin Sha Qi step by step, trying to erode the prey.

"Not enough, still not enough, not enough at all!"

Condensation of Yin Wood Seal requires a large amount, so it is too slow to do one small stream and one small stream.

Xiao Chen simply pounced forward and grabbed the wicker.

Use all your strength to activate <Profound Heaven Ingestion Secret Method> and follow the wicker to actively extract Sha Qi.

"Oh, I feel good!"

A steady stream of Yin Sha Qi was pulled into the body, and then fell into the Dantian under the guidance of Secret Method, gradually converging to form the outline of the mark.

"Bang~!"

Willow noticed something was wrong and immediately resisted.

The specific method is to mobilize more wickers to rise into the air and tie Xiao Chen directly into rice dumplings.

Then dozens of willow branches aimed at him at the same time, and instantly sprayed dozens of times of Yin Sha Qi.

Based on past experience, this move is very useful and is enough to pose a threat to Nascent Soul Stage Sea Fish who occasionally pass by and want to eat trees. It is the ultimate killer move for the willow demon to suppress the bottom of the box.

"Okay, okay, let Sha Qi come harder!"

Xiao Chen suddenly smiled. He was only afraid of one thing, and that was that the total amount of Yin Sha Qi stored in this weeping willow was too small.

With such a sufficient supply, it only takes a dozen breaths.

A brand new Yin Wood Seal was successfully condensed in his Dantian.

"It's not easy. I am Wood Spiritual Root Cultivator, so I own Wood Attribute Sha Qi."

Speaking of which, this is already the fourth Sha Qi collected by Xiao Chen. From now on, he can get doubled Cultivation Speed by practicing Wood Element Spell.

And as long as Yang Wood Sars can be found next, let's not talk about the improvement in the power of Cultivation Method.

What's more important is that by gathering a pair together, you can increase the success rate of Nascent Soul Formation by half. This is the most important thing.

Now he already has Yin Wood Sars and Yin Water Sars, which is equivalent to doubling the chance of getting the whole pair together.

Of course, the best result is to collect both pairs, even Metal Sars and Earth Sars.

After all, if you can collect all Yin Yang Five Elements Sars, you can also increase the monk's success rate of Nascent Soul Formation by an additional half.

"Since it comes from the weeping willow on the sea, I'll call you Sea Willow Sars from now on."

Xiao Chen inspected it with Divine Sense with satisfaction, and then softly shouted, "Hey!"

At the same time, use all the muscles in your body to pull hard.

It's a pity that Yin Wood Seal is not responsible for strengthening the body, so of course he couldn't break free.

After a while, Xiao Chen, who was thousands of miles away, slowed down slightly. "Hi~, it really hurts."

The struggle just failed, and finally the Weeping Willow, who lost his patience, violently strangled him with a willow stick, and was almost cut into eighteen pieces.

Then Weeping Willow realized that the Sha Qi that she had worked so hard to save had disappeared, and she immediately became furious.

In an instant, thousands of feet-high water columns exploded from the In-Between Sea, and the salty water vapor rose into the sky, tearing apart the clouds.

The huge tree crown trembled violently, and nearly a hundred thousand willow branches and roots glowing with green light were waving at the same time. The sea surface within a hundred miles surged, like a boiling furnace.

Until now, looking back from thousands of miles away, I could still clearly see the restless and huge figure.

Xiao Chen waved goodbye. "Don't miss me too much. I will come back to see you when the time is right in the future!"

After saying that, he stopped staying and turned around to leave without looking back.

Since Night's Edge was in cooling down, he deliberately lowered his speed.

He cast Ghost Mask Profound Light Shield in advance, cast Jade Terrace Fire Lotus again, and at the same time mobilized Divine Sense with all his strength, keeping a close eye on Inspector's movements within a radius of sixty-four miles.

Originally, due to qualification restrictions, his Divine Sense Range was only sixty miles away.

However, after accepting Starlight Baptism a few days ago and successfully condensing Star Core, Divine Sense has been growing slowly these days.

Especially at night when you are bathing in the starlight, the speed is much faster than during the day.

According to this trend, Star Core will be fully effective in another two months and is expected to grow to about 70 miles.

Divine Sense Range actually has some effects on ordinary monks.

For example, whether you can warn in advance when facing many dangers directly determines whether you have time to react and avoid them.

For example, remotely activate some Law Technique or Talisman arranged in advance.

For another example, you can use Divine Sense to track the enemy. If the opponent's Divine Sense Range is not enough, even if it is discovered, you will not be able to reversely lock your own position, etc.

In a word, the more, the merrier.

.

When the autumn wind passed by in September, Xiao Chen finally saw the rumored Ember Sea Spectacle.

It is said that the east side of the Kunpeng Sea is Compassion Sea, and the location of the Ember Sea is used as the dividing line between the two.

There is a steady flow of undersea lava here all year round, dyeing the entire sea area amber.

A large amount of seawater evaporates, forming a haze that lasts for many years like red clouds.

Sometimes there will be earth dragons turning over, causing hundreds and thousands of magma pillars to erupt, so that the unique sea flavor of sulfur mixed with salt and moisture can be smelled hundreds of miles away.

"We're finally here, but it's too far."

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He had previously waited for Night's Edge to cool down before resuming full speed.

And in the past half month, except for three heavy rains that basically did not affect the speed, everything went smoothly the rest of the time.

Even so, it took another full month to finally cross Kunpeng Sea.

"Golden Core Realm physically crossed Compassion Sea. I should be the first one in history."

Xiao Chen complained, if conditions permit, who would be willing to travel so hard.

Damn Yin Corpse Sect, wait for Nascent Soul Formation and then go back and liquidate.

After getting close to the Ember Sea, you can clearly see that the water in some places is very shallow, only about four or five feet.

If there were no undersea lava, an artificial island could actually be built here.

Unfortunately, the earth veins below are cracked like tortoise shells, and you can even see the dark red liquid flowing inside.

"Hey, there are also spiritual mines?"

Xiao Chen took a closer look and saw a fist-sized third-order Red Sandstone floating on the water.

Due to the frequent intersection of hot and cold, there are many vortices distributed here, and they are constantly changing their positions. Some of the spiritual minerals underneath are also rolled up, and they roll to the surface from time to time.

He immediately reached out and grasped the piece of Red Sandstone with his true essence.

"It's in good condition and should be worth several hundred Spirit Stone."

Although for today's Xiao Chen, a few hundred Spirit Stone is just a drop in the bucket.

But picking up money while walking on the street is always a happy thing.

"Compassion Sea got off to a good start when we first came here. It's a good sign, a good sign!"

Xiao Chen put away the piece of Red Sandstone that represented good luck with satisfaction. It seemed that he was likely to have good luck in the coming days.

Looking at it this way, it was the right choice to go overseas at that time.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if Compassion Sea is indeed different from the outside world.

For the next three days, the weather was sunny and cloudless.

At the same time, Xiao Chen clearly felt that the Spiritual Qi Tide was getting stronger every morning, and the duration was extended to a full half hour.

So much so that when he was on his way every morning, he would feel a little regretful in his heart. What a good time to practice.

But it doesn't matter. Once he officially finds a place to stay, he can go into seclusion.

When the time comes, you can practice however you want and as long as you want.

However, the good times did not last long. On the evening of the fourth day, a large group of thick white mist appeared in front of him again.

It looks quite similar to the Yin Spirit Calamity I saw before at the Inner Sea.

"It seems that New Ruin should be opened again, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up this time."

Xiao Chen felt a little regretful as he was forced to take a detour.

Not only was he new here this time, he didn't even know where to go to find anyone.

Therefore, it is definitely too late to participate in New Ruin.

However, he only regretted it for a short while, and then cheered up. "If you miss it, just miss it, it doesn't matter. There are so many Secret Realm ruins in the world, it's impossible to visit them all once."

fortuitous opportunity This kind of thing must be encountered by fate. There is no point in forcing it if there is no fate.

Besides, his biggest fortuitous opportunity is still Hextech Enhancement, everything else is the icing on the cake.

After walking about 10,000 miles around the suspected Yin Spirit Calamity fog group, Xiao Chen saw a medium-sized island appearing thousands of miles to the southeast.

From a distance, it is six hundred miles long and three hundred miles wide.

Unfortunately, in the entire Kunpeng Sea, he has never seen such a big island, not even one tenth the size.

I originally thought about whether I could meet Hidden Dao Heritage by chance, but it turns out that the probability of that is too low.

"Great, we finally found a bigger place."

Xiao Chen immediately changed direction and rushed over.

There are likely to be monks living on such an island, which means that you can finally come into contact with other monks.

You know, he hasn't seen a living person for almost two months.

It's just a good time to talk to someone on the island and get some relevant information.

"Hey, why can't you see the house?"

However, as he approached the island, Xiao Chen suddenly felt cold.

Looking around, there is not only no house on the northwest side of the entire island, but there is no trace of any artificial creation at all.

Most of the place is barren, with occasionally one or two stubborn weeds growing in the corners.

"Okay, it really doesn't look like a suitable place to live."

During the long journey, Xiao Chen has seen too many islands that are not suitable for habitation, and many of them are barren of grass.

However, he still settled down out of habit, preparing to take a routine night's rest on the island.

"Since there are weeds here, will there be wild fruits?"

Xiao Chen subconsciously unfolded Divine Sense, searching for scenes within sixty-seven miles.

"Bah~!"

At the same time that Divine Sense was dispersed, the sound of poisonous snakes spitting messages suddenly sounded from the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen Black Mist sprayed out from the rock cracks ten feet away, instantly covering him.

A strong, choking smell of sulfur immediately entered his nose, and at the same time there was a "sizzling" sound.

That was the corrosion sound made by Black Mist after it came into contact with Hundred Feather Linked Silk Robe's feather shield that automatically expanded.

"What the hell?"

As Divine Sense went deep into the rock fissure, Xiao Chen suddenly saw a Strange Snake that was only seven feet long.

The reason why it is called Strange Snake is because it has no scales all over its body, revealing a long flesh-red body, with twenty-seven pairs of hairy thin legs growing on its abdomen like a centipede.

Extremely disgusting!

There is only one eye on its head, but it is covered with honeycomb-shaped holes. At this time, it is bending the front half of its body to gather strength.

"Bah~!"

With another sound, new Black Mist immediately spurted out from those holes, joining the previous offensive.

The feather shield outside Hundred Feather Linked Silk Robe immediately started to shake.

"That's weird, what is this Demon Beast?"

Xiao Chen frowned, it looked like Golden Core Demonic Beast, but somehow it felt weird.

He struck out with a backhand, and the ferocious flames immediately burned Black Mist, turning the Strange Snake into fly ash.

"Ah, so weak?"

Black Mist is clearly a threat to ordinary Golden Core cultivator, but it itself is ridiculously weak.

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong."
