"Forget it, what are you thinking about those things for?"

Xiao Chen put away Spirit Pearl and turned his attention to the four Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box in front of him. "How about an exciting opening of the box."

"Let me see, which one should I open first?"

In fact, just from the appearance, you can't tell any difference at all.

So Xiao Chen picked up a Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box based on feeling and opened it directly to take a look.

I saw a small triangle Formation Flag placed inside the box. It looked exquisitely made and the patterns were arranged in an orderly manner.

"Ah? Why do you put this kind of thing in Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder, "Is it necessary?"

Things like Formation Flag are actually not that easy to break.

Although it is not as strong as Spirit Artifact, it is definitely not the kind of fragile product that will be damaged by a casual bump.

"Hmm~, next one."

Since he could not recognize the use of this thing for the time being, Xiao Chen chose to skip it.

He directly opened the second Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box.

Contained in the box is a small pure white jade bottle.

"Why does this elixir look familiar?"

Xiao Chen opened the cork and looked inside. "This is...Yuanqing Longevity Pill!"

He carefully recalled the previous Listening Wave Sea Auction and immediately remembered this special Fourth-Order Spirit Medicine.

Unexpectedly, after going round and round, the elixir finally fell into his hands.

But he didn't really need such a thing.

If you had obtained this elixir before, then Xiao Chen would most likely choose to take it out and replace it with Spirit Stone.

After all, there is a million-dollar reward in Azure Sea Market.

But now, of course it is impossible to use it to extend the life of Old Dog Yi.

Re-cork the jade bottle and put it back into the box.

Xiao Chen is directly connected with the entire Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box, and is thrown into the bottom of Vast Sea Ring to eat dust.

This thing will not be taken out again until he breaks through Nascent Soul and takes revenge.

Then there is No. Three Spirit Accumulating Treasure Boxes.

There was a folded piece of light yellow silk satin inside, which when unfolded was one foot long and six feet wide.

If you look carefully, you will see that there is a picture of Array Layout Diagram painted in embroidery on the front.

"Oh! What a complicated formation!"

Xiao Chen has some basic knowledge of formations, but looking at this Array Layout Diagram is like reading a book from heaven.

Just the different colors and dense lines on it dazzled him.

If you guessed correctly, this must be at least a Array Layout Diagram from Fourth-tier Grand Array.

After searching around the embroidery, I finally saw a column of small vertical characters at the very edge of the lower right corner.

Six Extremes Wave-Breaking Spirit Returning Grand Array.

"Oh, I understand, those six Spirit Pearl are originally meant to be used here!"

Just from the name, Xiao Chen immediately reminds me of the previous six Spirit Pearl.

He looked at Array Layout Diagram again and found exactly six Array Foundations, no more and no less.

Of course, these two things alone are obviously not enough.

"Could it be that the last box contains the matching Formation Flag?"

Xiao Chen picked up the fourth Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box and opened the lid directly.

However, unexpectedly, the treasure box contained a slightly larger lotus jade purification bottle.

"Isn't this wrong?"

Xiao Chen didn't understand at first what he wanted to do with Array Layout Diagram and core spiritual materials but not Formation Flag.

The Small Array Flags from before alone cannot control such a complex formation.

But he quickly realized that the other party was different from him, and there were probably other accomplices responsible for the rest of the process.

"Then what is this?"

Xiao Chen Pick up the lotus jade purification bottle and gently pull out the stopper.

Immediately, the charming Purple Spiritual Light poured out of the bottle.

At the same time, there was also a wave of Spiritual Qi hitting people's faces.

Looking inside, I saw that half of the bottle was filled with a slightly viscous bottle, with dots of bright purple spots floating on the surface, but the rest was as deep as the night sky with the special Spirit Liquid.

In an instant, five big characters suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's mind - Purple Fire Essence Refining Marrow!

Several years ago, he had seen the illustration of this thing in the book "Memoir·Treasures of the Eastern Region".

Unexpectedly, I would encounter the real thing here.

The function of this thing is also very simple, that is, it uses the fierce purple fire to melt the monk's true essence.

Then it plays a role similar to purification or 'dehydration'.

In short, it can help monks effectively improve the quality of their true energy, strengthen Spell Power, and slightly increase the success rate when breaking through bottlenecks.

It's a bit similar to the feeling of increasing Total Vitality to help break through the bottleneck.

Of course, for Cultivator of Magic, the effect that the quality of the true essence can have is relatively limited.

"This is good stuff. Half a bottle like this is at least worth several bottles of Nine Luminaries Profound Pill."

Xiao Chen is very optimistic, after all, this is Fourth-Order Spirit Marrow, and it is usually used by Nascent Soul True Lord.

Give it to Golden Core cultivator, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

For him, this is much more useful than Formation Flag, and it is a complete surprise.

The only problem is that this process of refining the true essence may take some time.

Considering that New Ruin is about to be turned on, he may not have time to use it now and needs to wait until it is released.

Re-cap the bottle and store Purple Fire Essence Refining Marrow.

Xiao Chen picked up the two parchment rolls and opened them one by one.

The first one is only one foot long and six inches wide, but inside it depicts a simple Compassion Sea situation map.

Since such a large area needs to be drawn on such a small chart, the things marked on it are also very rudimentary.

It almost just pointed out the locations of the mountain gates of several major forces.

However, Xiao Chen noticed that on the edge of this chart, there were three different Demon Beast drawn.

They are the scallop on the north side of the Compassion Sea, the octopus on the south side and Nautilus on the east side.

Not only that, there are three dotted lines marked in red on the picture.

One side is connected to the three Demon Beast, and the other side is connected to the Universal Salvation Temple that occupies the center position of the Compassion Sea.

"There is another Giant Sea Beast?"

Xiao Chen looked a little surprised at the portrait of Nautilus on the right.

But he had just seen Giant Octopus with his own eyes before, which means that the credibility of this chart should be very high.

"What is this, three beasts besieging Universal Salvation Temple?"

Xiao Chen recalled the moving direction of the octopus, and it was indeed consistent with the red dotted line in the general direction.

If the route had not been changed due to other factors, we would have passed Universal Salvation Temple.

"Where did this chart come from? Can it predict Giant Sea Beast's course of action in advance?"

But Xiao Chen thought again, that possibility didn't seem high.

After all, taking the Giant Octopus end as an example, if it wants to go to the center of the Compassion Sea, it must first pass through the Listening Wave Sea.

Cloud Wave Sword Abode will definitely respond accordingly.

It is likely that they will organize a siege, or find ways to change its movement direction in advance to force it back into the Outer Sea.

"Those things aren't my thing to worry about."

Xiao Chen looked at the path traced by the red dotted line again. "It's best to avoid these places next."

For him, the purpose of this chart is to know the route in advance and avoid danger in advance.

Hey, if you say so.

Could it be that the reason why Bronze Mask Cultivator was able to obtain this chart was because he wanted to avoid danger in advance?

"Then what is this one?"

Xiao Chen picked up another parchment roll and unfolded it.

This one is slightly larger than the previous one, and looks very similar to the Ancient Sea Chart that Sun Family used to help guide the way.

There are almost no other colors except black and white, and only a red circle marks the position of Ancient Cave Residence.

It looks like the kind of 'ancient' treasure map that is worth a hundred spiritual stones at a street stall, and you can buy one and get one free.

The key is that in terms of material, this thing is actually a bit new.

Although Xiao Chen is not very professional in this area, he can easily judge from his experience that this is definitely a new sheepskin in recent years.

"It doesn't feel very reliable. If you have time later, I'll try to take a look."

Xiao Chen put away the parchment and picked up the last letter.

The wording in this letter is very strange, as if a superior is instructing and urging his subordinates.

The monk named 'Tong Kui' is asked to take Barrier Breaking Flag to Earth Dragon Relic as soon as possible, take away the things left inside and deliver them to Jin Luan.

"Earth Dragon Relic?"

Xiao Chen It is not difficult to guess that the so-called 'Tong Kui' should be the name Bronze Mask Cultivator.

So this Earth Dragon Relic, is it the cave abode on that parchment scroll?

"Hey~, I shouldn't have been involved in some conspiracy, right?"

Xiao Chen has a feeling that something is not right.

That Tong Kui hides its head and shows its tail, which is not a good thing at first glance.

If he really followed the records in the parchment and went to cave abode, or Earth Dragon Relic.

Then maybe you will encounter that 'Jin Luan' or some other monk.

Then he was inevitably involved in a series of extremely complicated and thrilling events.

"Well... then let's not go now. We will talk about it later Nascent Soul Formation."

Xiao Chen sprayed out Spirit Fire from his hand and burned the letter.

Regardless of whether there was any conspiracy or not, he was prepared to postpone it until Nascent Soul Formation.

As long as you have enough power, you will naturally not be afraid of anything small.

No matter how clever the plan is, it is useless in the face of absolute strength.

"I hope I can harvest Nine Aperture Lucid Jade from New Ruin."

Xiao Chen After finishing Storage Ring, he lay directly on the big bed of the inn and fell asleep with beautiful hopes. "Well, it would be best to have two more Sha Qi."

I slept until I woke up naturally, and it was only around 10 o'clock in the morning.

By Late-stage Golden Core, it no longer takes much time to simply restore energy.

If you are not in a situation where Divine Sense is consumed too much, just taking a short break for an hour or two will be enough to refresh your mind.

Now that he has woken up, Xiao Chen plans to wait outside the ruins in advance.

When he pushed out the door of the inn, he happened to meet three acquaintances.

It's the Sun Family Siblings I've seen before.

Unexpectedly, they also came.

However, Hidden Family will naturally not miss such a big event.

Moreover, this time they were surrounded by several tribesmen, and they were standing together at the street entrance, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Brother, look, it's... um..."

When Sun Haoze saw Xiao Chen, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and pulled Sun Haoran to prepare to remind him.

As a result, I was blocked from speaking halfway.

"Why are you so crazy this early in the morning?"

Sun Haoran glared at him with warning in his eyes.

Naturally, he also saw Xiao Chen and felt a little surprised.

However, Sun Haoran does not know that Wang Family has obtained information from Black Market.

Therefore, he still remembered his previous promise of confidentiality and was not prepared to go over to say hello. He also reached out his hand to cover Sun Haoze who wanted to yell in time.

Even though he was surrounded by the Sun Family people or a few more reliable Guest Elder.

But naturally the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better.

Relatively speaking, Sun Haoqi was not that rash, he just glanced at Xiao Chen quietly.

After the last separation, she would often think of the white figure who came under the moon and saved the three of them in her free time.

At this moment, he noticed that the other party was also looking over, so he quickly lowered his head and looked away.

Don't dare to look at him.

Seeing Sun Haoran holding Sun Haoze, Xiao Chen silently gave a thumbs up.

Then he turned around and left, going directly to wait on the sea more than 1,300 miles away.

This distance is not far for him, but for many ordinary monks, especially Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it is not close.

Therefore, along the way, he also saw many monks who were on their way in advance.

There were even some monks who came a day in advance and used the wooden planks they brought with them as temporary footholds.

It is naturally dangerous to stay on the sea with only a piece of wood like this.

But as the saying goes, it is better to enjoy the shade against a big tree.

These monks cleverly relied on Great Powers to spend the night near the spirit ship that arrived in advance. Naturally, they were safe and no one dared to approach Spirit Fish.

"Good guy, so many spirit ships!"

Xiao Chen Looking around, there are actually fourteen large spiritual ships moored here, as well as more than twenty Small Spirit Boat.

They are concentrated in two places according to the Buddhist Sect and Daoist Sect, showing two huge fan shapes.

However, almost all the casual cultivators were concentrated on the side of the Buddhist Sect. Some people even had the wooden planks under their feet directly leaning against the edge of the spirit ship, but no one scolded them.

Xiao Chen Naturally, there is no need for a fox to pretend to be a tiger.

He took out a piece of spiritual wood from Storage Ring and threw it down. Then he sat down on the spiritual tree and sat cross-legged to meditate, waiting for the ruins to be opened.

As time went by, more and more monks arrived here.

The surroundings gradually became lively and even noisy.

After all, there are not many opportunities for Great Powers to gather together.

Many monks are discussing with each other the rumors they have heard before, especially when they see some famous monks appearing, it will cause some uproar.

Naturally, many of them are talking about the recently reported Eight Directions Arena incident.

After all, this is one of the biggest events in the Compassion Sea since the Chinese New Year this year.

"Look, that's Xiao Chen!"

"He looks so young. Is he really as powerful as you say?"

"Of course it's true. Among the younger generation in Compassion Sea Region today, Daoist Xiao is the strongest."

"Tell me, if Daoist Xiao is compared with Fa Zhao Arhat, who is more powerful?"

"This... should be about the same, right?"

"Why do I think Fa Zhao Arhat is more powerful? After all, he is High Monk of Universal Salvation Temple."

"That's not necessarily true. I feel that Daoist Xiao is definitely better."

Most of the monks who have been to Eight Directions Arena or received accurate information are praising Xiao Chen.

But most of the local monks in the southeast corner, or some casual monks with little information, are talking about Arhat headed by Universal Salvation Temple.

After all, objectively speaking, Buddhist Sect Compassion Sea has the upper hand.

Even in Universal Salvation Temple's spirit ship, there are many Bhikshu or Arhat discussing similar topics.

Since they had watched Memory Stone during the attack, several people were praising Xiao Chen.

However, he was refuted by others around him, either sincerely or falsely praising him, but they all insisted that his senior brother was the strongest.

Fa Zhao Arhat did not pay attention to their comments.

He looked through the window at Xiao Chen who was meditating on the spiritual tree, and it lasted an hour.

Then he sighed secretly and ended the increasingly heated debate, "Okay, let's not argue anymore."

He stretched out his hand and knocked on the window. "Junior brothers, please come and take a look. This Benefactor Xiao has the heart to meditate!"

"On this point alone, I am not as good as him."

Of course, as Buddhist Sect is the first person in everyone's mind, Fa Zhao Arhat particularly emphasizes the point of solely discussing the nature of the mind.

When it comes to fighting skills specifically, he doesn't think he will be worse than others without having personally competed against each other.

All the monks were curious and approached the window to watch in turn.

Then I noticed that in the noisier environment outside, Xiao Chen was concentrating on practicing without being disturbed at all.

"The ruins are right around the corner, fortuitous opportunity is right around the corner, but I can abandon distracting thoughts. I am far inferior to him."

Another Arhat noticed this and also sighed.

He asked himself that he was currently feeling nervous and somewhat expectant, making it difficult for him to calm down.

The other monks also fell silent.

Buddhism is more important, and I usually practice Zen in Quiet Room.

Therefore, they know better how rare it is to be able to enter samadhi in such an environment.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration and envy in my heart.

Soon, as the sun sets over the sea on the west side, an orange sunset appears.

Various auras were also lit up in advance, illuminating the entire periphery of the ruins in a colorful way.

Xiao Chen also ended his meditation at the right time, stood up and stretched his muscles a little, preparing to enter the ruins.

Only then did he notice that since nearly ten thousand monks had gathered on the sea, the wooden planks in many places were intertwined, making it look extremely crowded.

However, in about ten places, large circles with a radius of tens of feet were still empty.

Many monks would rather walk farther away or huddle together in one place rather than go to those places.

Take a closer look.

It turned out that in each of those large circles, there was a monk who was tall, powerful, and extremely full of energy and blood.

Even though they were hundreds of feet apart, Xiao Chen could feel their potential explosive power from their thick arms or their bodies that were more than ten feet tall.

It's no wonder that ordinary casual cultivators didn't dare to go there and deliberately kept a safe distance.

It is true that Body Cultivator has a reputation for being dangerous at close range, so we have to guard against it.

By the way, around Xiao Chen, everyone consciously left a gap of more than ninety feet.

This is because he was meditating before.

Seeing him getting up at this time, several monks distanced themselves again.

Xiao Chen didn't care about the vigilance of others. He was just curious. There seemed to be a lot of Body Cultivator to the southeast of the Compassion Sea.

Due to the Body Refining journey, more cultivation resources are often required.

Under normal circumstances, it is rare to see so many Body Cultivator full of energy and blood in casual cultivation.

"Could it be that it's because of the flooding of Sea Fish on the east side?"

Before Xiao Chen was on Red Flower Island, I heard rumors of a significant price cut on Sea Fish Meat on the east side.

Speaking of which, if the number of Golden Core Sea Fish can continue to grow in the future, it will indeed be a great benefit to Body Refining.

As long as the cost of cultivation can be kept down, Body Refining should be able to prosper quickly.

"Unfortunately, Golden Core Sea Fish has almost no effect on me."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "It would be great if there were more Nascent Soul Sea Fish."

Of course not now.

It's best to wait until he Nascent Soul Formation.

Otherwise, you may not be able to win the battle once you come, which would be counterproductive.

"Boom~!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise under the sea.

Immediately afterwards, continuous loud noises occurred along with violent tremors.

The seawater within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to boil all of a sudden, and huge waves tens of feet high immediately set off, hitting each other and splashing even bigger waves.

The monks present quickly took to the air and increased their distance to avoid this sudden change.

Except for a few Foundation Establishment Cultivator who were a little embarrassed, there were no casualties.

However, at the next moment, nine whirlpools suddenly appeared on the sea.

The eight large vortices are arranged in eight directions, surrounding the small vortex in the middle, exuding a strong attraction.

A large amount of seawater was swallowed up instantly, and all Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of thousands of miles was quickly drained away.

Even because the extraction speed is too fast, a strong Spiritual Qi flow is formed.

Many of the monks were shaking as well, as if they were about to be pulled into the whirlpool.

"Ah!"

A Foundation Establishment Early Stage monk with the lowest cultivation level was the first to be unable to hold on and fell down with a scream.

This seems to be the beginning, as the suction force continues to increase, it becomes stronger and stronger.

More monks could not hold on and were dragged down directly.

According to this situation, in less than half an hour, Foundation Establishment Cultivator present will probably not survive.

Fortunately, this incident only lasted for a moment and then stopped.

It seemed that just enough Spiritual Qi had been replenished, a vibration several times more violent came from the bottom of the sea again.

This time, the scope of the ripples was even larger, with the sea surface surging over a full three hundred miles radius.

Immediately afterwards, right where the large whirlpool had just appeared, eight dark blue light pillars soared into the sky and penetrated into the sky.

Each beam of light was ten feet thick, and the brilliant light almost dyed the entire sky and earth blue.

"Wow!"

In the middle, a fountain with a height of more than ten feet appeared.

A large amount of sea water, including fish and shrimp, was thrown out.

Even those Foundation Establishment Cultivator that had just been sucked in were thrown out together.

It is a pity that the Magic Robe and Flying Sword on them have dimmed, and half of their Spirit Awakening light is gone.

Even the Spiritual Qi in the body has disappeared, and it looks like it has been squeezed dry.

In other words, there is actually no trap in New Ruin.

It was just an accidental injury caused by the simple process of extracting Spiritual Qi.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing that the light beam seemed to have stabilized, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator actually rushed in.

He was completely unaffected by the casual cultivators just now, and decisively chose to take a gamble and try to take advantage.

After all, he couldn't compete with the disciples of big forces through actual fighting or treasure hunt competition.

The only thing that can be fought for is this.

Fortunately, he won the bet.

As a light blue light erupted, his figure disappeared immediately, and he was teleported into the ruins.

Seeing this scene, the other monks did not dare to hesitate any longer.

Everyone rushed forward one after another.

Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, but like the other disciples of the big forces, he stopped and watched for a while.

After the other casual cultivators confirmed that it was safe, they calmly selected one of the light pillars and flew in.
