After a lot of effort, the group arrived at the herb garden.
Outside the ancient city, a person wearing robes with pictures of the twenty-six constellations used his Soul Energy to rush over from the distant Heavenly Lodging Sect's headquarters.
The blood sand that lingered in Desolate God Valley all year round and the harsh environment did not seem to affect this person at all.
It was like he was walking on a boundless plain, looking down on everything. All the storms, sand, and horrifying ferocious beasts did not exist before him.
Or rather, they were not worth his attention at all. He simply ignored them like air.
The terrifying blood sand storm scattered before this person. Before the horrifying ferocious beasts could show their ferocious side, the blood sand storm had already shattered into pieces.
Not even a corpse remained. This person simply walked over, looking down on everything, feeling suffocatingly strong.
No one knew where this person's destination was in the vast Desolate God Valley.
His eyes scanned the surroundings as if he was searching for something. From time to time, he would close his eyes to sense, and a trace of worry and hidden anger appeared between his brows.
That hidden anger made everyone who had seen his strength not want to become his enemy.
After confirming a direction, the old man quickly headed over. However, when he reached his destination, he found nothing.
In this Desolate God Valley, even someone as strong as this person experienced interference with his Soul Energy.
After a few attempts, the old man continuously corrected his direction. His hidden rage reached its limit.
Finally, a 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot hovering in the air appeared before the old man.
Then, the old man truly stopped moving.
"Boom!"
The old man threw a palm strike, and the 2-Star Heaven Suspending War Chariot exploded in the air. The Heaven Suspending War Chariot was like a toy. The defensive formations that the Pirate Alliance put in so much effort to create were not worth mentioning before this person.
The Heaven Suspending War Chariot exploded, and a figure fell.
The old man's figure flashed and firmly caught this figure. Naturally, this person was Hua Qingyun, whom Xiao Chen and the others had been restraining.
The old man casually removed the restrictions on Hua Qingyun and sent in a strand of Astral Energy. Hua Qingyun slowly woke up.
When Hua Qingyun saw the old man's face, he exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Grandfather!"
This old man was Hua Qingyun's grandfather, the Heavenly Lodging Palace's Sovereign Emperor, Hua Qin.
When Hua Qin saw that Hua Qingyun was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he asked sullenly, "Who did this to you? They are truly audacious. They even dare to bully my Hua Qin's grandson. The people of this branch in Ancient Desolate Town are all trash. "
The appearance of Xiao Chen and the others immediately appeared in Hua Qingyun's mind. He said, "It's a group of people from the Divine Dragon Empire. I only remember their appearances. I don't know who they are."
"That's enough. Leave the rest to Grandpa. Whoever hurts my grandson, no matter who it is, must pay the price! "
The anger on Hua Qin's face seemed to be enough to make one's soul tremble.
In the herb garden.
Situ Changfeng recovered at a visible speed, and his complexion became better.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Situ Changfeng had profited from his misfortune. Not only had he recovered from his injuries, but his bloodline had also been strengthened.
"Xiao Chen, what kind of Medicinal Pill does Situ eat? Give me one as well."
When Murong Yan saw that Situ Changfeng was fine, he relaxed and said with a smile.
Get another one?
It was estimated that the pill spirit would fight with him. There was not much medicinal power in the first place, and Xiao Chen seized one-tenth of it.
If Murong Yan took another tenth, the pill spirit would definitely go berserk and try to take him down with it.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. After all, the pill spirit had divine nature. Murong Yan could not casually offend it.
Xiao Chen smiled and ignored Murong Yan's request. He looked up at the sky, wondering how the Demon Blood Vulture was doing.
In reality, Xiao Chen was not too worried about the Demon Blood Vulture's life or death.
The Demon Blood Vulture was very crafty and strangely fast. Even if it could not defeat Ming Xuan and that mysterious person, it would not have difficulty fleeing.
Xiao Chen did not know what fortuitous encounter the Demon Blood Vulture obtained, but it looked like a burning Blood Phoenix.
Speaking of fortuitous encounters, Xiao Chen should be the one with the greatest fortuitous encounters in this ancient city.
Xiao Chen did not fight for the shattered Divine Crystal fragments. However, he vaguely sensed that the Divine Universe Stele he obtained was even more valuable than the complete Divine Crystal.
The four directions were called the Universe, and the ancient times were called the Eon.
The Divine Universe Stele was a space-related miraculous item. However, Xiao Chen had not had the time to investigate its mysteries.
As for its origins, Xiao Chen found only some clues and a few words in the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's memories.
It was mysterious and unfathomable; there was no real explanation for it.
During the Primal Chaos Epoch, before heaven and earth were separated and order was not born, the world was in Primal Chaos, giving birth to countless gods and demons.
The Primal Chaos ended and shattered, giving birth to the Great Desolate Continent. Legend had it that this Divine Universe Stele was born when the Primal Chaos shattered.
Aside from the Divine Universe Stele, there was the even more mysterious Divine Eon Stele.
However, no one knew how many Divine Universe Steles and Divine Eon Steles were born at the same time, and whether there were other items born at the same time.
Xiao Chen did not know how many mysteries the Divine Universe Stele had. However, he could understand its simple function of storing things.
The herb garden should be safe for now. Xiao Chen searched for a quiet place in the surroundings.
He took out the Divine Universe Stele, wanting to refine it and merge it with his physical body.
However, after trying for a while, Xiao Chen was shocked to discover that he could not refine this divine item at all. Even leaving his own Spiritual Mark on it was extremely difficult.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen felt that he needed Divine Energy to truly refine it.
He had to settle for the next best thing, merging a strand of his will of soul with the Divine Universe Stele to achieve simple control.
This made Xiao Chen feel somewhat weak. Without a Spiritual Mark and without refining it, he could not leave it.
If someone snatched it away, it would easily become someone else's treasure.
Simply put, even if someone snatched away the Tyrant Saber in his hand, he would not worry at all. Others would not be able to use it at all. They might not even be able to draw the saber out. Sooner or later, it would belong to Xiao Chen.
After a strand of his will of soul merged with the Divine Universe Stele, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense entered the Divine Universe Stele's inner space with a 'whoosh.'
The inner space was vast and boundless, with primal chaos at the edges.
Deep inside, Xiao Chen felt very different from the Immortal Spirit Ring. This was a real world.
Can I enter with my physical body as well?
Just as Xiao Chen wondered this in his heart, he felt something solid under his feet after a moment of distraction. He actually really entered.
"Where's Xiao Chen?"
The sudden disappearance of Xiao Chen quickly attracted the attention of Murong Yan, Liu Ruyun, and the others, greatly startling them.
When they rushed over, they saw a stone stele radiating a horrifying might and pressure hovering where Xiao Chen cultivated.
"Divine Universe Stele!"
After the group read out the ancient words on the stone stele, they revealed doubtful expressions. They had never heard of such a stone stele before.
"Could it be that Xiao Chen entered the stone stele?"
Murong Yan's guess startled him. If that was true, then this stone stele was rather heaven-defying.
A spatial treasure that could store a living person definitely surpassed a Soul Tool. People had only heard of such a divine item, but few had actually seen it.
As though to verify Murong Yan's guess, Xiao Chen silently appeared before the group while holding the Divine Universe Stele in one hand.
Wei Hongfei exclaimed in shock, "What is Xiao Chen doing?"
Xiao Chen smiled as he replied, "This is the Divine Universe Stele that I obtained after deciphering some divine characters in the Divine Crystal. Right now, I do not know how useful it is."
The group felt shocked at Xiao Chen's luck. After congratulating him, Wei Hongfei said with a grave expression, "Xiao Chen, don't casually reveal this treasure. I believe that even a Sovereign Emperor will want to kill it if they see it."
Xiao Chen nodded. Even if Wei Hongfei had not said so, he would not have dared to casually take it out.
After all, he had not even left a Spiritual Mark on it. The Divine Universe Stele did not belong to him yet.
After separating the group, Xiao Chen arrived before the pill river and infused his Soul Energy into the Divine Universe Stele. After a while, the entire pill river soared up like a dragon, flying towards the Divine Universe Stele.
When the pill river was completely absorbed into the Divine Universe Stele, Xiao Chen wobbled somewhat, and his complexion paled slightly.
Many people had set their sights on this pill river. However, at best, they could only collect some of it; it was not even a drop in the ocean.
However, Xiao Chen waved his hand, and the Divine Universe Stele activated, storing the entire pill river in it.
Murong Yan and the others were flabbergasted at this sight, feeling incredibly shocked.
After resting for a while and recovering some of his Soul Energy, Xiao Chen held the Divine Universe Stele and stored the Coiling Dragon Tree and the gargantuan medicine cauldron into it.
Xiao Chen nearly overdrew on his Soul Energy. If not for reading the divine characters strengthening his will of soul significantly, he would not have been able to collect the pill river and the Coiling Dragon Tree.
Even with the Divine Universe Stele, Xiao Chen believed that he would not be able to collect the pill river and the Coiling Dragon Tree.
This made Xiao Chen realize that the Divine Universe Stele was not omnipotent. When collecting treasures, it exhausted a startling amount of Soul Energy.
As Liu Ruyun and the others looked at Xiao Chen, they all felt somewhat afraid. Right now, Xiao Chen's wealth was comparable to that of a Sovereign Personage.
Even a Sovereign Personage would pale in comparison. There was a pill river that could feed a Rank 6 sect, a seven-colored Coiling Dragon Tree, and a spatial Divine Item that could store a living person.
Liu Ruyun suddenly recalled that when Xiao Chen obtained the Coiling Dragon Tree sapling, he said that he would not hand it over to the Dragon's Gate to exchange for a reward.
In that case, what was the point of keeping it for himself?
A divine item like the Coiling Dragon Tree could bring out its greatest value in the hands of a sect faction. It would benefit the sect disciples and quickly strengthen them, ensuring that the sect's inheritance would not be destroyed.
To an individual, the only thing they could obtain from it was the Coiling Dragon Fruit.
At most, they could eat four or five of them, and there would not be much of an effect.
Liu Ruyun thought for a while but could not figure it out, so she stopped thinking. She revealed a faint smile. She should be happy for Xiao Chen for having such a fortuitous encounter.
"Situ Changfeng is awake."
Murong Yan discovered that Situ Changfeng had opened his eyes at some point in time and stood up.
Situ Changfeng stood up and looked at Xiao Chen with gratitude in his eyes. Situ Changfeng knew better than anyone else what kind of Medicinal Pill Xiao Chen gave him and what kind of changes it would bring him.
Situ Changfeng had not expected Xiao Chen to give away such a precious Medicinal Pill instead of consuming it himself.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He could tell what Situ Changfeng meant by his eyes, telling him not to mind.
"Situ, sorry. If I had used the strand of will that Father left in my body earlier, you would not have suffered so much."
Liu Ruyun stepped forward and apologized to Situ Changfeng. This young lady had been feeling guilty all this time.
Situ Changfeng smiled casually and said, "You should learn from Murong Yan. I saved this fellow's life several times, but he did not say a word of thanks."
Clearly, Situ Changfeng did not mind Liu Ruyun's teasing and did not blame her.
Liu Ruyun giggled. Only then did she feel relieved. Strangely, Murong Yan did not retort.
Everyone looked around. Be it Wei Hongfei, Duan Fei, or Xiao Chen, they all revealed smiles.
After a calamity, one would understand many things.
How fortunate was it to have such a group of friends and brothers to take risks and live together?
