The Nethersea Hall Elder's Beautiful Misunderstanding
"Natural energy."
"Haha, as expected of Half-Immortal Artifact, then I'll trouble you."
As he spoke, he dug out Abyss Crystal from the bodies of other Abyss Beast. These Abyss Crystal did not contain Power of Principle.
However, it can be refined and absorbed by the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art.
We can give it to Xiao Tian and Xiao'er to refine later.
After storing all the Abyss Crystal into his Myriad Spirit Ring, Zhang Xuanchen looked towards the dimly lit road in the distance, took a deep breath, and said:
"Let's keep going!"
Following the location marked by the Immortal Fate Information, Zhang Xuanchen continued flying deeper into the Forbidden Land.
Along the way, the roars of ferocious beasts echoed from all around.
The sound echoed among the mountains, low and chilling, like countless ghosts howling close to one's ear.
Zhang Xuanchen shut down his hearing, ignoring everything else.
Anyway, since the Xuanjing) allows communication within the sea of consciousness, it won't have any impact.
Two weeks later.
Zhang Xuanchen stepped into the middle level of the Dao Origin Abyss marked on the map.
Upon entering a dense jungle, a strong sense of Dead Silence stillness immediately enveloped us.
Although the place is lush and green with plenty of moisture, it feels devoid of any vitality.
There were no sun, moon, or stars.
The sky was covered in dust, like a rotting curtain draped over the earth.
Large amounts of skeletal remains and rotting flesh floated in the air.
Some of the skeletal remains were as large as small mountains, and there were also the skulls and bones of human cultivators.
Furthermore, broken Spirit Artifact floated in the air.
Just then, the Shuoxing appeared beside Zhang Xuanchen.
He looked around, his brows furrowing slightly.
"The previous area still had traces of Spiritual Qi remaining, but the Spiritual Qi here has been completely transformed into abyssal energy."
"Even you cannot stay here for long, otherwise it will damage your foundation."
"These enormous bones and the remains of cultivators all possessed at least the strength of the Void Refinement during their lifetimes."
But they all died here.
"It's just some mere abyssal energy; what is there to fear?"
Xuanjing's voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a clear, mirror-like light emanated from between Zhang Xuanchen's eyebrows, enveloping his entire body.
The dark gray abyss energy melted away the moment it came into contact with the mirror light, just like snow meeting the blazing sun.
Zhang Xuanchen immediately felt his body lighten, and the omnipresent feeling of erosion completely disappeared.
Xuanjing clapped his hands triumphantly, "A mere Yuan Qi, easily captured."
He couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, no wonder this place is called Forbidden Land."
However, I have the Xuanjing; this abyssal energy is useless against me.
"Now I know the exact location of the treasure, and I also have the Xuanjing and the assistance of Shuoxing."
"If I don't get the treasure, who will?!"
Zhang Xuanchen's face revealed a smug look, and his tone was extremely firm.
What can the three Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Sunken Tide Ancient Continent use to compete with him?
He simply couldn't think of anything.
Hearing this, Shuoxing agreed wholeheartedly, "That's absolutely right."
"Your ability to perceive the exact location of fortuitous opportunity is far beyond what ordinary people can achieve."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and beckoned, and a broken longsword flew from the air in the distance, hovering in front of him.
The long sword was covered in rust, and half of the blade was broken, yet it still exuded a faint killing intent.
Shuoxing reached out and touched the blade, and bursts of starlight instantly enveloped it.
A moment later, the broken sword transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Starry Tower.
"This must have been a battlefield of death before," Shuoxing said. "The bones floating in the air, along with the Spirit Artifact and Treasure Tool, must be remnants of a bloody battle."
"This is just the right amount of material to refine and help me restore the tower."
"This place is Desperate Land for other cultivators, but it is a treasure trove for us."
Although there is some danger, it is nothing to worry about.
Zhang Xuanchen's eyes flickered. "Are there many remnants of treasure here?"
"Not many, but their grades are all quite high. They should be able to help me recover to a high -Sixth Stage or even a top-grade rank."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was overjoyed, "That's wonderful!"
Let's go!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen's figure transformed into a blur and flew away into the distance.
With the purifying power of the Xuanjing, the corrosive power of the abyss energy here has no effect on him.
Several hours later, Xuanjing's voice suddenly rang out:
"Brother Chen, there's the aura of Fifth-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures about 500 miles to the northwest."
Zhang Xuanchen's eyes lit up!
"Fifth-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures?!"
"Yes, its aura is being concealed by some kind of being, but it can be confirmed that the treasure has not yet been harvested and is already ripe."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen did not hesitate.
They immediately flew in the direction indicated by the Xuanjing.
Half an hour later, a black swamp appeared before them.
In the center of the swamp, a Spirit Plant, entirely black with blood-red leaves, sways slowly.
It is rooted in the decaying bones, yet its roots extend into a golden Spirit Vein.
"Fifth-Grade High-Rank, Soul-Devouring Nether Lotus."
"This is great stuff!"
However, before Zhang Xuanchen could even get close to the swamp, the ground suddenly exploded!
Roar!
A tiger's roar soared into the sky, followed by a colossal creature bursting out of the black mud!
A giant black tiger, its body covered in dark red scales and with a single, curved horn on its forehead, over a hundred feet long, stared intently at Zhang Xuanchen.
Boom boom boom!
A terrifying pressure descended like a mountain.
Zhang Xuanchen's gaze sharpened!
Fifth-grade, Early Stage Netherworld Blood Tiger!
This was the first time he had ever seen Fifth-grade Demon Beast!
Before he could think further, the Netherworld Blood Tiger spoke with murderous intent:
"Human! Trespassing on my territory!"
"Court death!"
Zhang Xuanchen chuckled dismissively, picked at his ear, and said:
I've heard that phrase a lot lately.
I'm so tired of hearing it.
"Furious!"
The Netherworld Blood Tiger roared and pounced in a massive attack.
"Netherworld Space-Rending Claw!"
The sound rang out, Blood Tiger slammed down with its claw!
The black claw-like light transformed into five celestial curtains, completely sealing off the space around Zhang Xuanchen.
Zhang Xuanchen remained calm as he activated the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art!
Hold head high!
Blood-Golden Dragon Scales possess it!
A powerful aura of a True Dragon suddenly erupted!
Look at the giant claw shooting down from the sky!
Zhang Xuanchen smirked, "What kind of bullshit Sky-Splitting Claw is this!"
Flashy and gaudy!
As he spoke, the Meteor Heavy Sword appeared in his hand!
"Blazing Flame Evil Vanquisher!"
A massive sword shadow, infused with the Star-Shattering Sword Intent and the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire, instantly condensed and then surged towards the giant claw in the sky!
Boom!
The massive black tiger claws that blotted out the sky were instantly shattered!
The aftershocks sent shockwaves soaring into the sky!
The terrifying sword shadow did not dissipate, but instead shot straight towards the Blood Tiger in the void!
Upon witnessing this scene, Blood Tiger was utterly shocked!
"A true... True Dragon!"
You, a human, actually managed to transform into True Dragon!
How is this possible!
As Blood Tiger cried out in surprise, a layer of black flame shield unfolded in front of him!
They forcefully blocked the incoming sword shadows!
Without any hesitation, he spoke up:
"Human, you've won. This thing is yours!"
"Now that you've taken the heavenly materials and earthly treasures I've guarded for a thousand years, you can no longer hunt me down..."
Before he finished speaking, the Netherworld Blood Tiger transformed into a ghostly blue afterimage and vanished from its spot, flying towards the depths of the Forbidden Land.
Zhang Xuanchen was stunned.
No?
A dignified Fifth-grade Yao King, and a mountain lord known for his ferocity, just ran away like that?
I thought there was going to be a big battle.
Xuanjing spoke:
"That's normal. The higher your level of cultivation, the longer you live, and the more afraid you are of death."
You, a human being, can exude such a strong aura of True Dragon, and your presence is even greater than his.
Naturally, they will think they are no match for you.
Another reason is that he can't be sure of your background. Human Race can cultivate Dragon Clan Cultivation Method, would ordinary forces dare to do so?
Hearing Xuanjing's explanation, Zhang Xuanchen rubbed his nose. "That's true."
As long as the ending is good, that's fine.
That Tiger Demon is quite powerful; there's no need to pursue it.
Business is the most important thing!
With this in mind, Zhang Xuanchen pulled out the Soul-Devouring Nether Lotus, placed it in a specially made wooden box, stored it in his Myriad Spirit Ring, and continued on his journey.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
Several people dressed in the robes of the Nethersea Hall looked towards the direction of the black swamp!
The leader was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator named Li Chen, who was the Shadow Hall of the Nethersea Hall.
His expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise:
There's movement!
A great battle has broken out there!
The aftershocks could travel thousands of miles through this Forbidden Land, indicating that the combatants possessed at least the Nascent Soul Peak!
Their strength Non-Self ability to withstand!
Upon hearing this, a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator behind him frowned slightly and said:
"This aftershock carries a trace of extremely masculine energy; could it be from the Yangyue Ancient Clan?"
After all, among our three Nascent Spirit Transformation forces, only the Yangyue Ancient Clan primarily cultivates Cultivation Method based on the metal and fire attributes!
It seems they really have discovered the treasure!
Otherwise, why would I have come here secretly!
Upon hearing this, Li Chen's heart sank.
"Return to base immediately; we are no match for them."
This news must be reported to the Deputy Hall Master!
The Yangyue Ancient Clan has truly mastered these methods!
They managed to evade our detection and venture deep into this place in search of treasure!
If it weren't for Laozi good luck, they would have actually succeeded!
