On Golden Wind Island, Chen Wang has been cultivating and refining his Divine Sense during this time.

The Niwanzhen Preservation Art has a special effect on enhancing Divine Sense, Chen Wang could feel the Light Spot in his Sea of Consciousness becoming brighter and brighter.

He had seen this peculiar scene—that strange village—more than once.

However, he never sensed any signs of human habitation, and his view could not be extended any further. Each time, he would hear a strange sound that would cause his view to shatter.

At first, Chen Wang thought it might be Demonic Obstruction encountered in his cultivation, but as time went on, Chen Wang became more and more certain that this was actually a different reality.

It's just that the Light Spot wasn't fully ignited, so I couldn't touch it.

"This matter cannot be rushed," Chen Wang muttered to himself.

Today, Golden Wind Island has become an impregnable fortress, and the Golden Wind Sect established by Chen Wang has become a new organizational force.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and an extremely astonishing thing happened in the Northern Lands.

An Old Devil at the Nascent Soul Realm has emerged from the mountains, possessing a demonic treasure, which is said to have already annihilated several sects.

Several of these sects even have Golden Core Stage stage cultivators in charge.

This incident caused widespread panic among the cultivation communities in the Northern Lands.

Chen Wang was also very worried after hearing this.

"The cultivation world is not peaceful either. When Nascent Soul Realm Old Devil makes a move, even the major sects cannot withstand it."

Chen Wang said.

At this moment, Feng Lin was sitting opposite him, dressed in a blue cloth dress, her hair tied up with a simple wooden hairpin.

"The latest news is that Scarlet Phoenix Mountain has been destroyed," Feng Lin said slowly.

Scarlet Phoenix Mountain is home to a Golden Core Old Ancestor, making it an extremely powerful sect with thousands of cultivators under its tutelage.

However, this sect was targeted by that Nascent Soul Realm Old Devil, and when it was discovered again, the sect had already been completely destroyed, with not a single survivor.

Feng Lin's face turned pale. "What exactly is this Old Devil trying to do? Dao Zhen no one who can subdue him?"

Chen Wang frowned and said, "There is a Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor in Dragon Head Mountain, but I don't know if he will care about this matter."

Feng Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Dragon Head Mountain acts tyrannically, destroying the Profound Yin Sect, and seems to want to become the leader of the Righteous Path. They may take action in this matter, but even if Dragon Head Mountain takes action, they may not be able to deal with that Old Devil."

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right. From what we can see now, not only are there major sects at the Golden Core Stage, but also several Foundation Establishment Lineage. He even wiped out the Foundation Establishment sects. This person is simply insane."

Feng Lin said, "The world is indeed not peaceful these days. We just established the Golden Wind Sect and unified the forces of the Thirty-Six Islands. We thought we would usher in a period of peace, but unexpectedly, this Old Devil in the Nascent Soul Realm has emerged, causing panic throughout the cultivation world of the entire Northern Lands."

Chen Wang's brows furrowed as well.

If no one can control this Old Devil, he may have to leave this place with his people in the future.

Thirty-Six Islands are still a bit too conspicuous.

"Send more people to gather information. If the Old Devil shows any signs of coming this way, we should prepare as soon as possible," Chen Wang said.

Feng Lin nodded, her expression solemn.

This matter is of utmost importance. Previously, it was only the remnants of the Profound Yin Sect harassing the Thirty-Six Islands, which Chen Wang could handle. However, if they were to encounter an Old Devil in the Nascent Soul Realm, they would probably not be able to withstand even one round.

A few days later, Feng Lin brought back another piece of news: Zheng Kang Kingdom's Black Market had been wiped out.

"This guy's gone mad! Is anyone going to take care of him or not?!" Chen Wang couldn't help but curse.

"He's trying to wipe out the entire cultivation world of the Northern Lands single-handedly!"

Feng Lin said worriedly, "This person is a loner. It is said that he has refined a demonic treasure and needs to use the soul Essence Blood of a cultivator for a blood Blood Sacrifice. He doesn't even want ordinary people's treasures."

"What a damn bastard! If he keeps killing like that, he'll probably wipe out the entire Cultivation World in the Northern Lands." Chen Wang shook his head.

Although he had set up several restrictions on Golden Wind Island, they were only effective against the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and were far from enough against Golden Core cultivators, let alone this Old Devil in the Nascent Soul Realm Golden Core Stage.

"The Thirty-Six Islands are famous, and there are many cultivators here. I'm afraid that Old Devil will target them sooner or later."

At this moment, Chen Wang put aside his other thoughts, and a trace of worry appeared between his brows.

Chen Wang had never encountered such a powerful opponent before.

Although the other party hasn't targeted him yet, he'll probably be the only one who can escape once they do.

"No, this Bronze Gate is also a Law Treasure in essence, capable of traversing the heavens. If this Old Devil has a powerful formation, then I might not be able to leave either."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

If he possessed the ability to travel through the heavens and leave at any time, he could escape. However, if even his greatest reliance was suppressed, he would likely face annihilation if he encountered this Old Devil, and he himself would perish here.

The cultivation world in the Northern Lands is now in a state of panic. That Old Devil in the Nascent Soul Realm is like a steel knife hanging over everyone's head, and no one knows when he will strike.

Once it's struck, there's no chance of resistance.

"We can't stay at the Golden Wind Sect for now. Let's gather our men and head into the mortal world to find a place to stay. We'll talk about it again once this evil god is completely subdued or leaves the Northern Lands."

Chen Wang summoned Feng Lin and asked her to handle the matter.

Feng Lin said in surprise, "Isn't it a bit too early to do this now? Besides, we've just established the Golden Wind Sect. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up so soon?"

Chen Wang said, "As long as people are alive, that's more important than anything else. We're not abandoning Golden Wind Island. Let's take these resources with us first, disperse the people, and let them return to the secular world. We can come back after this Old Devil's matter is over."

Chen Wang had a vague sense of unease about this Old Devil.

This person seems to be heading specifically to places where monks gather.

There were countless experts in that Black Market, yet he robbed them all of their possessions. This is outrageous!

Although the Thirty-Six Islands are remote in the Northern Lands, they are still a relatively well-known place; otherwise, so many cultivators from the Profound Yin Sect or the Cloud Radiance Sect wouldn't have been eyeing this place.

Chen Wang hadn't expected that a Nascent Soul Realm stage Old Devil would emerge and wreak havoc on the Cultivation World during this time, so he had no choice but to lead his men to evacuate the area.

The Dan Ding Sect was a powerful sect that originally had Golden Core Stage cultivators forming arrays, but now it has been reduced to ruins.

There are several mountains near the Dan Ding Sect, all of which are extremely dangerous places.

One of the mountains was called Flat Top Mountain. At that time, Chen Wang led his people to live in Flat Top Mountain and built a cave abode palace. He set up a trap outside so that people could not catch him.

He only brought some personal maids with him, as well as Feng Lin and Xu Yun.

As for the other cultivators, they were all sent elsewhere to avoid the disaster.

Let's avoid this great chaos that's sweeping through the cultivation world of the Northern Lands for now.

Flat Top Mountain has beautiful scenery, and the sea of clouds churning above the mountaintop creates a rather wondrous sight, although the Spiritual Qi is not particularly strong.

Chen Wang temporarily stayed in Flat Top Mountain. Feng Lin and Xu Yun stood beside him. Watching the sea of clouds churning, Chen Wang felt much more relaxed.

The gloom that had set in after moving out of Golden Wind Island disappeared.

"This sea of clouds is a sight you can't see on Golden Wind Island," Xu Yun said charmingly.

She was only Seventeen or eighteen years old; in Chen Wang's previous life, she would have been just a high school student.

Although he gained some powerful strength through cultivation, his mind remained very active.

Arriving at this mountain, I found the scenery beautiful and the atmosphere pleasant; it was indeed an excellent place to stay.

Chen Wang smiled faintly and looked at the sea of clouds.

You certainly can't see this kind of scenery on Golden Wind Island. Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, you'll find that the scenery of the world is indeed different from one another.

Feng Lin said, "To be reborn from the ashes, the Red Haze Gate has been destroyed by that Old Devil, so naturally they won't come back. This is safer than going into the mortal world."

She couldn't help but admire Chen Wang's decisiveness. Not only did he relocate his forces in advance and retreat, but he also managed to find his way to the vicinity of Flat Top Mountain. In this way, he could probably really avoid this disaster. Even if that Old Devil went to the Thirty-Six Islands, he wouldn't be able to find their whereabouts.

"There's nothing we can do. This Old Devil specifically targets places where cultivators gather, wanting to use their Essence Blood, and soul to sacrifice for his magic Law Treasure. Whether we can find him or not, let's avoid him for now."

Chen Wang shook his head.

They then settled down on this Flat Top Mountain.

Flat Top Mountain was indeed a secluded place. Even after the Red Haze Gate was destroyed, the Old Devil did not return to this place.

In just one month, Chen Wang heard that two more sects had been wiped out.

Spring has passed and autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye. The Feng Xiao, and the cold wind is like a knife.

Chen Wang stood on the cliff.

During this period, he had some resources at his disposal, so his cultivation did not suffer, and his Divine Sense was also growing stronger.

After taking those spirit medicine, his Divine Sense has become increasingly refined.

Feng Lin found Chen Wang, "Dragon Head Mountain has made a move. The Nascent Soul Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain led several Golden Core Stage cultivators to besiege that Nascent Soul Old Devil."

"There are two other Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. One of them has been living in seclusion in Azure City Mountain, but he was also lured out this time. The Old Devil has wreaked havoc on the world, which has finally aroused the dissatisfaction of these experts."

Chen Wang asked with concern, "How is the battle going?"

"There's no news out yet. It's said that the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor at Dragon Head Mountain looks to be only in his twenties or thirties. He fought that Old Devil for three days at Phoenix Tree Ridge, and they were evenly matched. After they came out, the Old Devil was ambushed and cursed the Old Ancestor for being inhuman. Now he's heading southeast," Feng Lin said.

Chen Wang nodded slightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

This Old Devil is wreaking havoc on the world, which will surely arouse the dissatisfaction of other masters.

Now that Nascent Soul Stage cultivator have taken action to besiege him, they hope to kill him completely, or at least severely injure him, so that he can no longer cause trouble.

The Feng Xiao, the sky was high and the air was crisp. After Chen Wang learned that the Old Devil had been besieged, his State of Mind improved and his Divine Sense became more profound.

On this day, while he was in meditation, he once again clearly perceived the scene of that village. It was still overgrown with weeds and desolate. The earthen walls were half a person high, and you could see that the courtyards inside were long abandoned.

As the camera panned forward, this time without any obstruction, Chen Wang heard that strange sound again.

However, this time, the Light Spot in Chen Wang's Sea of Consciousness was even brighter.

Chen Wang had a vague feeling that he could travel back in time.

Every time Chen Wang entered a meditative state, he would hear a strange sound in the village, and all the images would be fragmented.

But this time the voice came again, and the image didn't break.

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he zoomed in to find the source of the sound.

Then he saw a strange beast.

This strange beast looked like a pangolin, with a human face and a body covered in long, grayish-white, and extremely fluffy hair.

Chen Wang could sense the strange beast, and the beast seemed to sense it as well, suddenly looking up at him.

Its eyes were very human-like, yet carried a hint of ferocity.

Then it emitted a strange cry, which was exactly the same as the sound Chen Wang had heard earlier.

"So it was you!"

Chen Wang's heart stirred.

Even though it was a world apart, Chen Wang was still being watched by this strange beast, and felt a sense of dread.

"What kind of world is this? Why are there such strange beasts here?"

"Is this another realm, or some place in the Cultivation World?"

The image did not disappear, and the beast looked up but did not sense anything.

Chen Wang, however, saw a group of three people: an old man and two young men.

Their clothing and attire are also in the ancient style.

The old man had a full head of silver hair and a burly build. Standing there, he resembled a human-shaped bear, with a large knife on his shoulder. The knife looked like a guillotine, gleaming with a cold, sharp light.

The two boys were dressed in different ways. One was a young man in blue with sharp eyes, holding a large spear. The other was a woman dressed in black, which accentuated her beautiful figure. Her long legs were the most eye-catching feature. She held a long sword, its three-foot blade gleaming with a cold light.

The three of them moved extremely fast and soon arrived in front of the strange beast.

The old man with a full head of silver hair had extremely sharp eyes. He said in a deep voice, "It's this Dream Eater."

The young man in blue frowned. "Strange, usually the Dream Eater is asleep, but now it's so awake, as if it's searching for something."

When they first arrived here, the Dream Eater looked around warily.

The elderly man with a full head of silver hair said in a deep voice, "Let's do it, or things will change."

He shouted and threw the large sword from his shoulder.

His body was filled with powerful Blood Qi, and the surrounding air became somewhat distorted due to the high temperature. A burst of energy shot out, and the blade energy directly tore through the ground for more than ten feet!

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Body cultivator? No, not quite."

The blade of energy pierced through the air, and as he made his move, the young man beside him also brandished his spear, his Blood Qi erupting, which was also quite astonishing.

This woman was the same.

In an instant, Sword Qi surged forth.

The three men's Qi and Blood was burning hot as they charged directly at the Dream Eater! The beast sensed the threat, but it was extremely fast and was not harmed by the sword Sword Qi for the time being.

The three seemed to have practiced some combined attack techniques, surrounding the Dream Eater.

The Dream Eater made a strange sound. As the strange sound rang out, the scene in front of Chen Wang became somewhat blurry again. He could see that the old man with gray hair, whose eyes had previously seemed to contain two furnaces, was now gradually dimming and his eyelids were getting heavy, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"What's going on? Is he about to fall asleep while playing?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

"Their attack methods are quite different from those of body cultivators; their True Qi is extremely powerful. Could this be a Martial Dao World?"

Chen Wang suddenly became quite curious about this world.
