However, when Xiao Chen thought about it, most of these old men had lived for more than a hundred years. They had probably been half-step Martial Monarchs for several decades.
It was not strange for them to have such an accumulation. Xiao Chen continued looking. There were some high-ranked Blood Demons' Demon Cores in the ring. These should be the Demon Cores they killed in the Demon Battlefield.
Aside from these, there were also a few Inferior Grade Secret Treasures. However, they were just ordinary Secret Treasures. They did not attract Xiao Chen's attention.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to withdraw his Spiritual Sense, he noticed an unremarkable black box in the corner. The box was about the size of a palm. If not for Xiao Chen's sharp eyes, he would not have noticed it.
This box was placed in an inconspicuous corner. What could it be? Xiao Chen thought for a while before taking the box out.
The box was not locked. Xiao Chen opened it easily. Ten exquisite white pearls lay in the small space.
The pearls were as smooth as crystal. However, they did not give off any Spiritual Energy. Compared to Spirit Stones, they were very plain.
When Xiao Chen picked them up and sent his Spiritual Sense into them, he could feel the pure Spiritual Energy in them. They were even purer than the Spiritual Energy in Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
According to Xiao Chen's estimation, this small white pearl was equivalent to a hundred or more Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
Xiao Chen was startled. He found this pearl familiar. Suddenly, he recalled that there were two similar pearls among the burial items of the Savanna King. He quickly took them out and compared them.
The two pearls were the same size and looked very ordinary. They did not leak any Spiritual Energy. Only when Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into them could he sense the horrifying energy contained in them.
The difference was that the two pearls of the Savanna King were blue. Their color was clearly deeper. Furthermore, the energy they contained was on a completely different level from the white pearls.
Xiao Chen felt that he was confident of absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the white pearls. However, he did not dare to think the same for the blue pearls.
With his current cultivation, he would explode and die on the spot if he absorbed it.
Xiao Chen muttered, "These two pearls should be the same item. However, they are of different grades. However, I have never heard of such an item before. I have to look into it in the future. Aside from Spirit Stones, there are other things that can store Spiritual Energy. "
Xiao Chen placed the Spirit Stones and the mysterious pearl into his own Universe Ring. Then, he tossed the other items into the corner of the Universe Ring, including the Spatial Ring.
In the remaining two Universe Rings, Xiao Chen obtained another forty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. However, he did not find any more of the mysterious pearls.
However, he found a hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones in the third Universe Ring. This was a pleasant surprise.
With this, Xiao Chen's total number of Medial Grade Spirit Stones reached a horrifying 110,000. As for Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, he had more than a million.
In this trip, Xiao Chen had a great harvest. Chen's Spirit Chen's. Spirit Spirit Spirit Demon's Spirit Demon Chen's.
On this trip to the Demon Battlefield, Xiao Chen had reaped a great harvest. The only thing he had lost was half of the Wutong Spiritual Tree and the Dragon Qi in his arm. He needed some time to accumulate before he could use it again.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen sorted out all the items in the Universe Ring. He discovered that some of the small items and miscellaneous items had already accumulated to a certain level.
These items were obtained from the cultivators he killed. If they were individually, they would not be worth much. However, when accumulated, they would be a great harvest.
If there were too many of them, it would be troublesome to store them in the Universe Ring. Xiao Chen took out a map of the Ancient Desolate Land and muttered to himself, "I have to find a place to exchange for all these items. At the same time, I can ask around about the various factions in the Ancient Desolate Land and how strong the Holy Fire Manor is."
The Ancient Desolate Land was very large; it far exceeded Xiao Chen's expectations. Not counting the few cities at the periphery, just the Heavenly Extermination Lake alone was already larger than the Great Qin Nation.
Rather than calling the Heavenly Extermination Lake a lake, it would be more accurate to call it an ocean, an inland sea. This was because it was simply too vast.
According to the map that Xiao Chen bought in Boulder City, the entire Heavenly Extermination Lake was divided into the southern islands, western islands, northern islands, and eastern islands.
There was also the central islands with the Desolate City at the center of the Heavenly Extermination Lake. Aside from these, there were many unknown areas on the Heavenly Extermination Lake. To cultivators, it was a forbidden land.
It was hard to imagine that during the Tianwu Dynasty, the core of the entire continent had become like this.
Boulder Island was an unremarkable island in the southern archipelago. If not for the existence of the Demon Battlefield, very few people would have landed there.
There were thousands of islands in the southern islands. Some islands were desolate and uninhabited, filled with ferocious Demonic Beasts and demonic plants. Cultivators used them as experiential training grounds.
There were also some islands filled with flowers and plants, filled with overwhelming Spiritual Energy. The entire island was filled with Spiritual Energy, filled with Spirit Herbs and boundless herb gardens.
However, most of the islands were no different from human cities. Thousands of ordinary people lived there. There were cities, lords, and sects.
The island that Xiao Chen wanted to go to was called Red Cloud Island. It was the island closest to him that had humans living on it. It was considered a middle-sized island in the southern islands.
Even though it was very close, it was only the distance shown on the map. It was only one finger's distance on the map. However, in reality, it was two thousand kilometers.
However, there was one good thing about the lake. One could travel in a straight line, unlike the two cities that were clearly very close. Sometimes, one would have to take a long detour due to various obstacles, such as mountains, lakes, or grasslands.
Xiao Chen estimated that if he took it easy, he would be able to arrive in three days.
Xiao Chen had already left the boundaries of Boulder Island. On this vast lake, Xiao Chen's lone boat was like a drop of water in the sea; it would not attract any attention.
Xiao Chen did not believe that the Holy Fire Manor's people would be able to find him. Hence, he intended to travel in a relaxed manner. At the same time, he would use these seven days to temper his physical body.
There was a threshold for cultivating the Firmament Body Tempering Art. One's Vital Qi had to reach one hundred and fifty tons of force before one could practice it.
When Xiao Chen practiced the Dragon and Tiger Body Tempering Art to its peak, he could only exert one hundred and fifty tons of force. In the end, he was still lacking.
If Xiao Chen wanted to improve further, he could only rely on external help. The so-called external help referred to the body tempering Spirit Herbs that Xiao Chen had obtained on Qianren Island.
Xiao Chen had once consumed a large number of body tempering Spirit Herbs in the underground world of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Hence, regular body tempering Spirit Herbs were not very effective on him.
On Qianren Island, the body tempering Spirit Herbs that Xiao Chen found were all at least five hundred years old. Unfortunately, there were only six of them.
Xiao Chen placed the six Spirit Herbs that increased Vital Qi on the bow of the boat. He muttered, "There are only six. However, three of them are at least a thousand years old. If I consume all of them, I should have no problem increasing my strength by twenty-five tons of force."
One hundred and fifty tons of force would be sufficient. At that time, when Xiao Chen cultivated the Inferior Grade Heaven Ranked Body Tempering Secret Art, his physical body would explode forth.
The silver boat moved at an unhurried speed on the calm lake, gliding calmly in the direction that Xiao Chen had determined.
After Xiao Chen consumed a Spirit Herb, he sat down cross-legged and focused on refining the Medicinal Energy. He absorbed every drop of Medicinal Energy into his bones.
Four days passed in a flash. Every time Xiao Chen refined a Spirit Herb, he could feel his bones, meridians, and even his flesh becoming tougher. His Vital Qi also increased significantly.
On this particular day, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and circulated all the Vital Qi in his body. Then, he punched the calm lake.
"Bang!"
The fist wind formed by Xiao Chen's Vital Qi created a twenty-meter-wide whirlpool on the lake. After a while, a pillar of water soared into the sky from the whirlpool.
All sorts of fish and shrimps fell continuously from the water pillar. They fell for a few minutes before they all fell. It was easy to imagine that the force of this punch had to be at least three hundred meters deep before it could cause so many fish and shrimps to fall.
Xiao Chen withdrew his punch and revealed a satisfied smile. He had finally achieved one hundred and fifty tons of force in five days. There was still a thousand-year-old Spirit Herb that he had yet to refine.
However, Xiao Chen did not continue refining it. At his current cultivation, a thousand-year-old Spirit Herb would not have much of an effect. Since he had already reached the threshold of the Firmament Body Tempering Art, there was no need to waste it.
"Five days. I should be at Red Cloud Island by now!" Xiao Chen muttered as he looked at the lake in front of him.
There was a white mist on the distant lake. Behind the mist was the indistinct silhouette of an island. That should be Red Cloud Island.
It is time to rush at full speed, Xiao Chen thought to himself. With a thought, the small silver boat immediately turned into a beam of purple light and entered Xiao Chen's right eye.
Xiao Chen pushed off the water and executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. Xiao Chen was like a Blue Dragon flying quickly on the water surface. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
Not long after Xiao Chen flew, he felt intense energy fluctuations coming from in front. There were loud shouts and waves surging.
Clearly, there was a battle going on in front. Based on the energy fluctuations, the cultivators fighting should not be of low levels. Xiao Chen hesitated for a while before flying in the direction of the sounds.
After ten breaths, Xiao Chen finally saw who was fighting. A kilometer away, a black-robed cultivator and a girl in a blue dress were fighting on the water surface.
The black-robed old man was a Medial Grade Martial King. He held a pitch-black sword in his hand. A black aura surrounded the sword.
The aura of the black-robed old man was very strange. His moves were very ruthless, targeting the vital points of the white-robed girl.
The white-robed girl's cultivation was higher than the black-robed cultivator's. However, because of the strange black aura, she had to be careful. This made the situation look very unsightly.
However, in Xiao Chen's opinion, the white-robed girl had the upper hand. The black-robed cultivator tried to escape several times, but the white-robed girl blocked his path.
Clearly, the white-robed girl wanted to play it safe. She wanted to use the advantage of her cultivation to drag things out slowly. Then, she would deal a fatal blow to the black-robed man.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He was somewhat astonished. The aura of the sword was similar to that of the scarred man on Qianren Island. It was clearly the Demonic Qi of the Demonic World.
