Chapter 62
Jiang Zhi and Li Jian, along with their other friends, also had to temporarily sever ties.
They're doing this so that they can ensure their friends' safety by not contacting them.
He also felt regretful that the Clear Source Grass was not yet fully cared for. He had already figured out a method for large-scale care of Clear Source Grass, but he did not expect to have to stop suddenly.
He wondered if the Clear Source Grass he had been tending would advance to the Core Formation Stage this time, which would be a boon for Lord South Star and the others, since he hadn't even received his reward yet.
Well, consider this fortuitous opportunity for advancement as payment for my nursing skills.
He thought about it all in a jumbled mess, and felt a little panicked.
Having come from two different worlds, this was my first time escaping, and I was far too inexperienced in the process.
Shen Duheng took out two pills from his storage bracelet, and each of them ate one.
They then took out clothes and various bottles and jars, and had Shan Heyuan change his clothes first. After that, they did some minor touch-ups on his face and gave him a new hairstyle.
Shen Duheng also changed his hairstyle and had bone surgery, growing a little taller.
After getting dressed, the two became two dark-skinned young men with somewhat similar features.
Shen Duheng said, "From now on, we'll address each other as brothers in front of outsiders. I'm your cousin. We're both sword cultivators, out here to make a living and also to seek fortuitous opportunity for advancement."
Shan Heyuan nodded repeatedly. "Where should we hide now? In a small town?"
Shen Duheng: "No, going to a small town would be too conspicuous. Let's go to Haixi Province. I know a black market teleportation array that can take us directly to Haixi Province. Let's go back to Sword Reverence City first."
The two planned to exploit a time difference, leaving Guangping Continent before the top sects could track them down.
Shan Heyuan had never tried to escape before and was unfamiliar with the process.
He followed Shen Duheng in a daze, doing whatever Shen Duheng told him to do.
Shen Duheng seemed to have planned this all along, methodically leading him back to Sword Reverence City, having someone change his identity talisman, and then taking him to a secret teleportation array.
Their cultivation level was decent, and most importantly, they had accumulated a batch of Spirit Stone some time ago, making their escape exceptionally smooth.
Over six days, they traveled from Floating Boat City to Sword Reverence City, then to Ze Province, and finally from the black market teleportation array in Ze Province to Haixi Province.
Haixi Province is the territory of the Long Journey Sect.
This continent is not connected to any other continent.
It is surrounded by the ocean and can be considered a huge island.
This place is hot and humid, rich in minerals and Spirit Plant, and has many body cultivators.
Looking out onto the street, all you see are tall, strong, dark-skinned physiques. Once you get used to it, they actually look quite good.
They settled in a small city called "Youcheng City".
This city is famous for its agriculture and tourism, attracting many visitors from other places, and its scenery is beautiful.
Shen Duheng owns a manor here.
This enormous estate had been registered under his false identity thirty years ago; it was supposedly his father's estate.
He went out to make a living but didn't achieve much, so he came back to inherit the manor, and brought his cousin back with him as well.
Both of them had their cultivation levels suppressed to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
External cultivation level was irrelevant to Shan Heyuan.
He has a Dantian Small World; if he wants to plant something, he can simply plant it within that Dantian Small World.
After about half a month, the lightning in the Dantian Small World had been completely absorbed.
The small world was revealed.
The Dantian Small World is now a completely new world.
Shen Duheng asked, "What does the new Dantian Small World look like?"
"Words can't explain it, I'll take you there and you'll see," Shan Heyuan said to Shen Duheng. "I'll personally take you inside."
Shen Duheng: "You can enter the Dantian Small World now?"
Shan Heyuan smiled mysteriously, "I can enter by relying on my Divine Sense. I can attach my Divine Sense to the Nascent Soul and transform it into an adult form inside. Come on, let me show you."
Chapter 62
Shen Duheng first entered Shan Heyuan's Dantian.
His Dantian had undergone significant changes after being ravaged by lightning.
Previously, his Dantian Small World was empty, without any mountains, rivers, lakes, or seas, just a bottom and four walls. Although the scenery was beautiful, it always felt a bit stiff.
Now it's different. The Dantian Small World now contains mountains, lakes, plains, and farmland, as if I've suddenly stepped out of a painting and into reality, with a touch of everyday life.
Shan Heyuan followed him in.
He didn't enter with his physical body, but rather by attaching his consciousness to his Nascent Soul.
His Nascent Soul transformed into human form, and he used Nascent Soul to walk down the mountain.
Upon seeing Shen Duheng, he waved vigorously and flashed a bright smile.
Shen Duheng turned to look at him. "Such a big change has occurred in your Dantian Small World, are you feeling any discomfort?"
"Not at all!" Shan Heyuan jumped up excitedly on the spot, "I feel even better!"
After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, he found that his overall condition had improved significantly, and he was full of energy.
Now, give him a spirit sword. Even though he hasn't learned many sword techniques, he's confident he can slice off a mountain in one go.
Realm Spirit slept on the bare mountaintop. The lake below was not filled with water, but rather with silvery lightning. However, the lightning had mostly withered, revealing part of the lakebed.
After Shan Heyuan came in, he built a stone hut on the spot on the mountain and let Realm Spirit lie down inside.
After doing all this, Shen Duheng said, "Shall we go down and take a look?"
"Okay." Shan Heyuan peered down at the current flowing down the mountain. "The current may take some time to be fully absorbed, and it might remain like this for a while."
Shen Duheng: "Does it affect you?"
"Not at all." Shan Heyuan rubbed his hands together. "There are lightning elements in my Dantian Small World. As long as I don't deliberately disturb it, it won't affect me."
The two descended the mountain and stood by the Flowing Current Lake.
The electric currents replaced the water, intertwining and shimmering with silvery light in the lake. If it weren't for the terrifying aura of the Lightning Tribulation within, the scenery would have been quite beautiful, possessing a peculiar aesthetic.
It's just a little strange.
The calamity clouds have all disappeared, so why is the electricity still stored here?
According to physics, this shouldn't be the case.
However, this arc of current actually looks quite nice here; the silvery-white current is really quite unique.
After viewing the Current Lake, Shen Duheng asked, "Shall we go see some others?"
"Alright, the Illusionless Tree and the Lightning-Struck Wood Sprout should have changed as well. I felt them frantically absorbing electricity during their Tribulation Transcendence, but I don't know how they are now. I haven't checked on them these past few days."
Shan Heyuan spoke, he led Shen Duheng to see the two Spirit Plant.
The Illusionless Tree and the Lightning-Struck Wood Sprout were planted by the lake, but they had to fly across to the other side of the lake.
Perhaps because they are close to the lake, they have been absorbing the lake's electrical currents for the past few days.
This is also why Shan Heyuan hasn't observed these two Spirit Plant for several days—they're busy, and he doesn't want to disturb them.
When they walked over, Shan Heyuan was stunned.
These two Spirit Plant have actually grown together. There was such a large empty space between them before, but now they've grown together.
Why has it become so strange?
The two stood in front of the Illusionless Tree and the Lightning-Struck Wood Sprout, watching them intertwine.
If Shan Heyuan hadn't personally planted them from a young age, he might have thought the Lightning-Struck Wood Sprout were parasitic plants of the Illusionless Tree.
The two watched in silence for a while.
Shen Duheng speculated, "Perhaps because there wasn't enough space for them to grow during their Tribulation Transcendence, they ended up growing together."
Shan Heyuan shook his head. "It doesn't seem so. I can sense that their auras are somewhat similar."
After observing for a moment, Shan He stepped forward, intending to separate the two.
Shen Duheng also went over to help.
When Shan Heyuan got closer, he realized that the two Spirit Plant were not intertwined, but had actually grown together!
