After the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady finished speaking, Xiao Chen felt an irresistible force toss his body out of the Immortal palace.
The world spun around. When Xiao Chen felt his feet touch the ground again, he discovered that he had already landed on an island.
Xiao Chen casually looked around and discovered that this nameless island was the island where the hemp-robed old man was before he entered the Immortal palace.
He did not know if the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady did this on purpose or if it was a coincidence.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was the Western Sea Berserk Saber, Feng Xiao.
"Brother Shadowless, I did not expect to see you again after coming out."
Feng Xiao's complexion was very good. There was a reserved sharpness on his face. He must have gained a lot in the Mirage Immortal Palace.
Xiao Chen nodded firmly in response to the other party's greeting. Then, he casually chatted with Feng Xiao for a while.
Indeed, it was as Xiao Chen had expected. In the Mirage Immortal Palace, Feng Xiao had obtained a Dao Comprehension Painting left by an ancient bladesman. After comprehending it a little, he had gained a lot. Now, he was preparing to enter closed-door cultivation and absorb all the Dao in it.
Xiao Chen smiled and congratulated Feng Xiao, offering his blessings.
"Hehe! My gains are nothing. A huge explosion happened in the ninth floor of the Immortal palace. I heard that a supreme treasure was born. Unfortunately, I missed out on the excitement. "
Feng Xiao was in a good mood, so he could not stop talking.
"Missing out might not be a bad thing. There are many fortuitous encounters that one has to evaluate one's strength first."
Xiao Chen recalled his experience in the Immortal palace's ninth floor, feeling deeply moved.
Naturally, Feng Xiao did not understand the deeper meaning in Xiao Chen's words. He nodded and said, "Brother Shadowless is right. I have to enter closed-door cultivation quickly, so I won't chat any longer. We will meet again in the future if fate allows it."
"See you again." Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute to send Feng Xiao off.
Soon, that middle-aged couple was sent out as well. After casually saying goodbye to Xiao Chen, they left in a hurry.
They looked like they were worried that Xiao Chen would attack them and snatch away their treasures. Xiao Chen found this funny, but he did not say anything.
It looked like the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady had indeed done this on purpose, sending them back to the same place.
The hemp-robed old man was already dead. He definitely would not be sent back. Furthermore, the Geomaster Jiang Tian had not arrived yet.
Although Xiao Chen believed that the other party would be fine, deep in his heart, he was still a little uncertain.
"Did something really happen to the old man?"
Just as Xiao Chen was muttering to himself, another beam of light appeared beside Xiao Chen. Jiang Tian, who exuded a sinister aura, appeared beside Xiao Chen.
"Haha, don't worry. Even if all of you die, this old man will not die."
Although Jiang Tian's body was filled with Yin Qi, he was full of vigor and spirit. He did not look like he was trapped in the Ghost Mountain at all.
"What a pity. It would be great if I could stay here."
He was in such a good mood that he almost forgot everything. He even forgot about the Immortal Cultivators.
After a long time, Xiao Chen realized that he had lost his composure. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I was too engrossed in researching the techniques of the Ancient Geomasters in the Ghost Mountain. How is it on your side? Did the Penglai Sea's people obtain the Ghost Immortal Cultivation Method? "
Xiao Chen felt that there was nothing to hide from Jiang Tian, so he honestly told the other party about the Ethereal Immortal Palace.
After hearing that, Jiang Tian felt emotional for a long time, sighing endlessly.
"Unexpectedly, the Immortal Cultivation Method of the Ghost Immortal Dao is so difficult. The Heavenly Profound Holy Daughter is really pitiful, a heartless person. "
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I feel that it's still alright. At the very least, she really helped me obtain the Cycle Arts, unlike some people …"
Jiang Tian smiled embarrassedly and said, "Aren't I trapped in the Ghost Mountain? If not, helping you obtain the Cycle Arts would be easy."
"I can tell that after you came out, you seemed to be quite at ease. You even have some inner energy." Xiao Chen did not give up. No matter what, he was the one who dealt with the Penglai Sea's people. He had to knock this old fogey down.
Jiang Tian knew that he was in the wrong. He said, "Very well, I owe you a favor. How do you want me to repay you?"
Xiao Chen smiled in satisfaction and said, "You are indeed an old senior. You are really straightforward. In that case, I'll be direct. I want you to help me investigate the Treasure Master's identity and the matter of the Ghost Hou. How is it connected to him? "
The moment Xiao Chen said that, Jiang Tian's expression immediately sank.
"Little brat, are you trying to push me into a pit of fire? The Treasure Master is low-key and mysterious. Even Primes do not dare to make a move against him. You want me to investigate him? This … is not justifiable, right? "
Jiang Tian pushed the matter away, clearly unwilling to accept.
"A gentleman never goes back on his word. Haha! I can't be bothered with that. This is my Voice Transmission Talisman. Notify me if there is any news. "
However, Xiao Chen did not care. After tossing out a Voice Transmission Talisman, he laughed heartily and left the nameless island.
He left Jiang Tian alone, holding the Voice Transmission Talisman in a daze. After a while, he said with a grave expression, "Indeed, I should not lie to myself about the Treasure Master's matter. Never mind, I'll use this opportunity to probe him with my other old friends. "
The Treasure Master had long suspected that Xiao Chen had something to do with the Deep Abyss Demonic World.
However, the Treasure Master was too strong and kept a low profile. Furthermore, he did not oppose the various Holy Lands. Many people turned a blind eye to his existence.
This was especially so after Emperor Forsaken made a move and failed to take down the Treasure Master. This made everyone feel even more reverence for the Treasure Master's strength.
However, if this continued, watching the Treasure Master slowly grow stronger, that would be too much of a lie.
After leaving the island, Xiao Chen searched for a suitable place for closed-door cultivation on the boundless sea.
Compared to Feng Xiao, Xiao Chen needed to enter closed-door cultivation even more. Furthermore, he already made up his mind to not come out of closed-door cultivation until he comprehended the state of cycle.
Xiao Chen always wore a mask. No matter where he went, he gave Xiao Chen a feeling of hiding.
If this continued for a long time, the Heart Tribulation would be even harder to resolve. He might never be able to overcome it.
Thinking this, Xiao Chen found a pretty good place for closed-door cultivation — a lone island. Within a radius of ten thousand kilometers, there was only a boundless ocean. It was neither a trade route nor a blessed land.
No one would purposely pass by this place even after ten years or one hundred years.
Following the principle of caution, after Xiao Chen landed on the lone island, he laid a defensive formation. Then, he tossed out the formation plate and tapped the air with his right hand. Then, Xiao Chen laid a simple defensive formation.
After setting up the formation, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and cleared his thoughts, entering a state of forgetting himself and the outside world.
After Xiao Chen entered this state, he shouted, and seven beams of light of different colors came out of his body.
Each light represented a different intent: slaughter, destruction, annihilation, pain, grief, despair, and death.
Massacre produced destruction. When the destruction expanded, it was annihilation, bringing pain and grief. When grief expanded infinitely, it was despair, and finally, death.
Death represented the extinction of all things. However, after extinction came new life, which happened to be a cycle.
Everything in the world could not escape the cycle of reincarnation. From the small ants, birds, and beasts, to the large worlds, even epochs.
The Immortal Epoch was like this. Many Immortals fell, the sky collapsed, and all things died. However, after death, a new epoch was born. The Kunlun Realm was already so prosperous.
The great world outside would definitely be even more prosperous. The Cycle Dao had never stopped.
Xiao Chen flipped to the first page of the Cycle Arts. There were eight ancient words on it: As long as the cycle continues, life never ends.
Grasping the cycle, one's flame of life would be eternal and inextinguishable, burning fiercely, living as long as the heavens.
This was the highest level of expectation the creator of the Reincarnation Arts had for the Reincarnation Dao. As for whether it had such an effect or not, no one knew.
The Cycle Arts in Xiao Chen's hand was only an incomplete copy. The later contents were clearly missing. It was only enough for Xiao Chen to comprehend the state of cycle. Whether there was more was a mystery.
Xiao Chen read through the Cycle Arts again. Then, he closed his eyes and started to follow the circulation path described in the Cycle Arts.
Xiao Chen started to cultivate according to the prescribed order. As his Primordial Energy flowed through his body, the seven flames around him spun continuously.
A seven-colored light soared into the sky, looking like a rainbow, illuminating the entire horizon.
