The time spent cultivating was incomparably lonely. The sun rose and set, the clouds gathered and dispersed. Xiao Chen seemed to have entered a meditative state, not moving at all. "Ka ka!" After half a month, the lines on the Spirit Gathering Formation started to slowly crack. The forty Medial Grade Spirit Stones all turned into powder.
"Boom!" Xiao Chen opened his eyes and shot out a purple light. After more than a month of bitter cultivation, in addition to the cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Formation, he had finally reached the peak of Superior Grade Martial Master.
He smiled faintly, finally revealing a satisfied expression. However, when he thought about how Ji Changkong had already become a Martial Saint long ago and how those noble clan disciples with inherited Martial Spirits were all at the peak of Martial Grand Master, he could not help but feel dispirited.
If he was like these people and could awaken his Martial Spirit at birth, he would not have wasted fifteen years. With his talent, his cultivation speed would not be any slower than these people.
"Boom!"
A huge silver warship slowly landed on the peak of the mountain. After forty-nine days of baptism by lightning, this ancient Secret Treasure had finally recovered some of its former glory.
However, this huge warship was too conspicuous. With a thought, the flag on the bow of the warship flew into Xiao Chen's eyes. The warship quickly became smaller.
After a while, a small silver boat appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and jumped onto the boat. He looked at the distant White Water City and said softly, "It is time to go back!"
The formation activated and the small silver boat soared into the sky. It moved as fast as lightning; it was several times faster than when Xiao Chen used the Gravity Spell.
The wind whistled by his ears continuously. Xiao Chen stood on the bow with his hands behind his back. His clothes and long hair fluttered in the wind. There was a trace of indifference on his sharp face. Unexpectedly, there was a trace of the ethereal feeling of an immortal.
Xiao Chen was incomparably excited. There had never been a flight that was as carefree as this one. Every cell in his body was relaxed.
Finally, Xiao Chen slowed down and increased the altitude of the ship, avoiding those flying beasts. He sat at the bow and took out a bottle of wine from his Universe Ring. Then, he took out some snacks and started to drink by himself.
At this moment, the torrential rain that had been raining for a month finally stopped. The sunlight after the rain warmed everyone. Xiao Chen enjoyed the wind as he drank and ate. As he looked at the different scenery in the sky, he occasionally revealed a contented smile.
At this moment, he finally experienced the feeling of an immortal. Four thousand kilometers of the world, anywhere he wanted to go. Tasting a bottle of wine, watching the clouds gather and scatter, flowers bloom and wilt, gazing at the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers.
Xiao Chen sat at the bow and traveled in the sky. When he was about to leave Savage Forest, a black warship appeared in Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense.
Startled, Xiao Chen quickly increased the altitude of the small silver boat. He searched the surroundings carefully. After a while, the Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace, the Guiyi Marquis's Golden Warship, and the Hua Clan's warship appeared one after another.
Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile and said, "This group of people is really patient. It has already been more than a month, and they still have not left."
"Hu chi!"
Suddenly, the silver warship accelerated. Xiao Chen entered the hold of the warship and activated the formation in the Secret Treasure with all his might.
At this moment, the Secret Treasure of the ancient Sages displayed a horrifying speed. It streaked across the sky like a silver bolt of lightning, heading for White Water City at lightning speed.
The distance of more than a thousand meters was covered in an instant. Xiao Chen stopped the silver warship in the sky above White Water City. He was not in a rush to descend.
Xiao Chen did not even need to think to know the situation in the city. His wanted posters were everywhere. The noble clans had issued a kill order for him at the same time. This was not something that the Jiang Clan's wanted poster could compare to.
Xiao Chen thought about the Compendium of Cultivation. There was a Shapeshifting Technique. When practiced to Great Perfection, one could turn into anything in the world. Mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, even the sun, moon, and stars could be used.
Now that he thought about it, it seemed like he could use it here. Xiao Chen did not have any extravagant hopes of reaching that legendary realm. All he needed was to change his appearance slightly.
The sun set in the west. In the blink of an eye, it was dusk. Xiao Chen had already practiced the Shapeshifting Technique to the point where he could change his appearance. However, he was not very proficient; he could not change his height or physique.
Actually, with Xiao Chen's Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's third layer, he could practice many of the minor spells in the Compendium of Cultivation. However, he did not have the time to study them. This resulted in him needing to use the Shapeshifting Technique. Furthermore, he had no choice but to use it on the spot.
The full moon hung high in the sky, and the stars dotted the sky. Night fell completely. Xiao Chen turned into a dark-skinned middle-aged man. He prepared to sneak into White Water City during the night.
"Dong! Dong! "
Just at this moment, the Spirit Blood Jade in front of Xiao Chen's chest suddenly moved. Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. After a while, Bai jumped out of the Spirit Blood Jade.
After sleeping for such a long time, the moment Bai jumped out, it immediately dove into Xiao Chen's embrace. When it saw the dark-skinned Xiao Chen, it did not understand what was going on. Its large eyes were filled with doubt as it looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled happily and restored his appearance. Bai immediately became intimate with him. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I am currently being chased by bad people. I cannot reveal my true appearance. Hide in the Spirit Blood Jade first. Later, I will treat you to some fish porridge."
Bai nodded obediently. It gestured with its hands that there was a very big bowl. This meant that it wanted to eat a big bowl of fish porridge. It looked extremely cute, causing Xiao Chen to be unable to restrain a smile.
Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense and found a place with no one around. Then, he quickly descended from the sky. Xiao Chen turned back into the dark-skinned middle-aged man from earlier. His appearance was completely different from before. Then, he swaggered over to the city gates.
There were six wanted posters of Xiao Chen pasted on the city walls. Under each of the posters, there was a huge bounty. Aside from the bounty, the noble clans would also offer a Spirit Weapon and a high ranked Martial Technique.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that he also saw the wanted poster of the Xihe Province's Yan Clan. He could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "When the noble clans make their move, they are indeed incomparably tyrannical."
"Dongming Province, Nanling Province, Xihe Province, and the King's Residence. The four prefectures of the Great Qin Nation are all after me. It looks like there is no longer a place for me in this world."
After entering White Water City, Xiao Chen headed straight for Liushang Pavilion. As night approached, Liushang Pavilion's business was booming. When Xiao Chen walked in, the first floor was already filled with tables; he could not see any empty seats.
Xiao Chen headed straight for the second floor. The second floor was filled with cultivators. At this moment, they were loudly discussing the events of the past month.
"It has been more than a month. The noble clans have practically flipped the entire Savage Forest upside down. However, they still have not found Xiao Chen."
"After so many years, this is the first time I saw so many people challenging the noble clans at the same time. Even the Night Spirit Palace's Mu Chengxue was not as famous as the current Xiao Chen."
"I do not understand. How did Xiao Chen offend so many noble clans at the same time?"
"Ha ha, this Xiao Chen had already offended three noble clans because of the Ancient Remnant map. After he entered the Ancient Remnant, I heard from the people who escaped that he robbed the four noble clans. He did not even let the Guiyi Marquis off."
"Doesn't that mean that this fellow has a great treasure on him? If we capture him, we will have struck it rich."
"There is no need to capture him. As long as we have news of him and report it to the noble clans, we will be able to obtain a thousand gold taels."
As Xiao Chen headed for the third floor, he heard the loud discussions of the cultivators on the second floor. This caused him to feel somewhat astonished. He did not expect that after so long, he would still be in the eye of the storm.
After flashing his VIP card, Xiao Chen headed for the third floor. The third floor was much quieter. They were all haggling in low voices. When Xiao Chen looked over, he discovered that many people were trading for some of the treasures in the Ancient Remnant.
Although many cultivators died miserably on this trip to the Ancient Remnant, there was no lack of lucky cultivators or strong cultivators who found good things.
"Hey!" Just as Xiao Chen was about to sit down, he saw a cultivator at a table, about to trade for a small and exquisite copper bell. That copper bell had an ancient charm to it. Unfortunately, the surface of it was badly damaged.
Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense over. When it came in contact with the copper bell, a loud chime resounded in his mind. His mind shook and he nearly fainted. He was greatly startled and quickly withdrew his Spiritual Sense.
"Hey! I risked my life to find this bell in a coffin in the Ancient Remnant. It is definitely a Secret Treasure. To think you are only willing to pay a thousand silver taels for it. What a bastard! "The owner of the copper bell was a Martial Grand Master dressed in gray robes. At this moment, his expression was extremely agitated.
His right arm was broken in half. When he heard the other party's bid, his face turned ashen and his expression was filled with resentment. During this trip to the Ancient Remnant, his right arm was broken in half and he became a cripple. He originally thought that he would be able to sell this copper bell for a good price. Who knew it was only worth a thousand silver taels?
Opposite the gray robed Martial Grand Master was a merchant. He had an impatient expression on his face as he said unhappily, "There are good and bad Secret Treasures as well. This copper bell of yours is clearly damaged and can no longer be used. How can it be worth so much?"
"If it was not for the fact that it is quite old and has some value as a collector, I would be too lazy to even pay a thousand silver taels for it. Do you want to sell it or not? Don't waste my time."
"You are ruthless!" The cultivator with the broken arm said with an ashen expression before he turned and left the table.
The merchant at the table smiled coldly, "What is this? It is just like a piece of scrap metal. To think I thought it was a treasure."
The surrounding people all looked over. When the cultivator with the broken arm heard this, his face flushed red. He felt ashamed in his heart and he quickened his pace.
Xiao Chen walked over and stopped this person. That person looked at Xiao Chen angrily and said, "What are you trying to do?"
"Are you still selling the copper bell in your hand? I am interested," Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
The cultivator with the broken arm smiled coldly, "You want to take advantage of me? I risked my life for it. If you want to take advantage of me, there is no way. "
Xiao Chen smiled gently and did not say anything. He placed an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone into the cultivator's clothes. When the cultivator with the broken arm touched his clothes, he was startled.
"Here! Many thanks! " He handed the copper bell to Xiao Chen and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen. He did not say anything else and immediately left Liushang Pavilion.
Xiao Chen looked at the cultivator's back and sighed in his heart. This was the path of a cultivator. Behind the surface, they lived a life that was ten thousand times more dangerous than ordinary people. Once they were severely injured, they could only be an ordinary person for the rest of their life.
