(First Update)
"Split up and search everywhere," the Great Elder of the Lanhai clan said immediately.
Immediately, the Great Elder of the Lanhai clan formed one group, the Second and Third Elders of the Lanhai clan formed another group, the Half-Saint Elders of the Inferno Demon Sect formed another group, and the four Martial Emperors of the Inferno Demon Sect formed another group. They split up into four groups and left in four different directions to search for traces of the man from Taihao Mountain and Chen Zong.
It would definitely be more efficient to split up and search in four directions than to search together.
Moreover, Blue Water Planet wasn't very big. Even if one of them was attacked by Taihao Mountain, they could quickly ask for help, and the other three could quickly rush over to help.
Search!
The people of the Lanhai clan and the Inferno Demon Sect immediately split up and searched everywhere.
Even though the Blue Water Planet was only a planet, it wouldn't take a long time for an Emperor-level expert to circle it once. At most, it would take less than two hours. However, that was under the condition that they were traveling at full speed. Now, they were searching for someone. Looking for someone who had the intention to hide, they couldn't travel at full speed.
They slowed down and searched slowly. They searched inch-by-inch, and even used their divine consciousness to penetrate the sea.
Because of the Lanhai clan's Lanhai bloodline, they were naturally close to the Dao of Water. Therefore, the Great Elder, Second and Third Elders of the Lanhai clan were mainly searching the sea. Of course, because Blue Water Planet had become a sea, the Elders of the Inferno Demon Sect also had to search the sea. However, they were also responsible for searching the various islands.
There were too many islands on Blue Water Planet. They were scattered like stars in the sky. If there weren't ten thousand of them, there were at least thousands. They were scattered everywhere, and it would take some time to search all of them.
At this moment, Chen Zong had already escaped into the deepest trench of Blue Water Planet. He dived down to ten thousand meters and concealed all of his aura fluctuations. This was what Chen Zong was extremely good at.
With such a deliberate concealment, and Chen Zong's own strength, if others wanted to find Chen Zong, unless they were face to face, or a Martial Emperor personally acted. Otherwise, even a Half-Saint wouldn't be able to find him so easily.
At this moment, Chen Zong was staring straight ahead, his eyes flashing with a dim light.
They were in the depths of the trench ten thousand meters below sea level. Here, all the light had disappeared. The light from the outside world could not penetrate such a deep sea. It was pitch-black, like an abyss. Fortunately, Chen Zong's eyesight was amazing, so he could see clearly.
It was a huge body. It was pitch-black and covered with deep cyan ring patterns. It was a sea snake.
The sea snake's body was as thick as a water bucket. It coiled in a circle and exuded an extremely ferocious and powerful aura. It was at the limit of the Sixth Realm and was close to the Seventh Realm.
On Blue Water Planet, there was no Emperor-level. The strongest were Emperor-level, and there weren't many Emperor-level cultivators. The truly powerful ones were the sea beasts.
This sea snake lived in the depths of the trench. Its strength was terrifying, and it was very close to the Emperor-level. Chen Zong could clearly feel that the Qi and blood power that filled the sea snake's body was very majestic, violent, and shocking.
Chen Zong estimated that even an ordinary Emperor-level cultivator wouldn't be able to kill this sea snake so easily.
The water pressure in the trench ten thousand meters below sea level was astonishing. A sea snake that could live and grow here undoubtedly had a very strong physique. In addition to its strength that was close to the Emperor-level, it was undoubtedly very terrifying.
The sea snake was in a deep sleep.
What attracted Chen Zong's attention wasn't the sea snake itself, but the thing that was coiled around the sea snake's huge body.
What was that?
It looked like a cluster of corals, a black-red coral cluster. On this cluster of corals, there was a withered flower. In the middle of the withered flower, there was a black fruit with strands of golden patterns surrounding it. Vaguely, there seemed to be traces of extremely pure aura emanating from the fruit.
"It really is a treasure," Chen Zong couldn't help but think to himself. He was secretly delighted.
When he was outside the trench, he felt a faint aura fluctuation. It was emitted by this fruit.
The fruit was about to ripen, and the sea serpent was undoubtedly guarding it because it was incredibly beneficial to it. If it ate it, it would be able to break through its shackles, surpass its limits, and ascend to a higher level.
Emperor-level!
Once it swallowed the fruit, the sea serpent would be able to break through its current limits and ascend from the Emperor level to the Emperor level, becoming an Ancient Beast. At that time, it would be able to leave Blue Water Planet and enter the universe to seek greater opportunities. It would chase after the traces of its ancestor, causing its bloodline to revert to its ancestor and become even more powerful.
This fruit was ripe. The sea snake's body moved slightly, and it was about to wake up.
However, it would never wake up because in an instant, a flash of sword light suddenly flashed and pierced through the sea water that was ten thousand meters below sea level. The pressure was heavier than steel, and it directly pierced through the sea snake's head.
That was Chen Zong's sword.
The black mark and the mysterious seed were also activated in an instant and swallowed directly. In just a short time, the sea snake was reduced to a pile of bones.
To Chen Zong, although the sea snake was not weak, it was not a big deal. After all, Chen Zong could kill the top Emperor-level beast.
However, if the sea snake was allowed to wake up, it would more or less have to fight. It was inevitable that its aura would leak out. It was possible that the people of the Lanhai clan would sense it and find it.
If it was surrounded and attacked, it would be disadvantageous for Chen Zong.
The poor sea snake was just about to wake up. Its future was bright, and there was a slight possibility that it could truly achieve atavism in its bloodline in the future. It could become a cosmic beast and be invincible in the universe. However, everything ended when Chen Zong came here.
The sea snake turned into a dried snake. The mysterious seed in Chen Zong's body extended its roots. As it absorbed the sea snake's boundless vitality, it further grew and spread. It had already completely covered the lower half of Chen Zong's body.
Next, it would spread to the upper half of his body. Finally, it would spread to every part of his body.
Now, Chen Zong could feel that when the mysterious seed's roots really spread to the lower half of his body and spread to the toes of his feet, a wonderful electric shock spread between his feet and waist, circulating back and forth. The feeling was very wonderful and difficult to describe with words.
However, with his extraordinary perception, Chen Zong felt that his lower body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change. This change was difficult for Chen Zong to describe in words, but he felt that it should be a change that was beneficial to him.
Then, next, he would have to absorb more vitality to let the mysterious seed grow and spread its roots throughout his body. Perhaps, the real change would come. At that time, he would be able to understand what kind of change it was.
However, it was not so easy to spread the roots of the mysterious seed to every part of his body. It might take a few decades.
With a move, Chen Zong immediately grabbed the ripe fruit. At the same time, as the fruit was fully ripe, the power contained in it was about to burst out. However, it was sealed by Chen Zong's power and could not leak out at all. Otherwise, it would definitely attract the attention of others.
Feeling the boundless power contained in the fruit, as vast as the ocean, Chen Zong was secretly overjoyed.
Such a fruit was really useful to him. Although it could not let him break through to the Emperor-level, it could at least raise him to the peak of the sixth realm.
If his cultivation reached the peak of the sixth realm, his strength would at least double and become even more powerful.
Without any hesitation, Chen Zong immediately consumed the fruit. He instantly chewed it up and swallowed it. Immediately, an incomparably majestic and extremely pure energy was released from the chewed fruit. It was like a flood that had broken through a dam. In an instant, a rumbling sound rang out and surged endlessly.
He immediately activated the Sword God and Demon Sword Codex and started refining it.
This power was extremely vigorous and boundless. It was like a surging ocean. It was the power of the peak of the sixth realm. It was even comparable to the power of an ordinary seventh realm.
Such vigorous power was controlled by Chen Zong. Chen Zong continuously refined it and turned it into Chen Zong's own cultivation power.
However, the power that Chen Zong cultivated from the third level of the Sword God and Demon Sword Codex was extremely pure and boundless. In terms of quantity, it might not be as good as the power contained in the fruit, but in terms of quality, it was much better. The converted power was not enough for Chen Zong to break through to the seventh realm.
Increase!
Chen Zong's cultivation continued to increase.
There were also differences in the sixth realm's cultivation.
Twenty years ago, Chen Zonggang had just broken through to the sixth level and was only at the entry level of the sixth level. After twenty years of constant fighting, constant cultivation, and constant improvement, he finally raised his cultivation to the sixth level of the small success stage.
Twenty years to go from entry level to initial stage. This speed was actually not considered slow. However, to Chen Zong, it was actually slow. After all, Chen Zong's previous improvement was very fast.
If he continued to improve at this speed, it would take a longer time to reach the final stage or even complete stage. It would take at least fifty to sixty years, and at most a hundred years.
However, now, as Chen Zong continued to refine the boundless power that emerged from the fruit, his cultivation also continued to increase. The speed of his improvement surprised even Chen Zong himself.
This feeling of power constantly growing, like a boat rising with the tide, was truly wonderful to the extreme.
Final stage!
Not long after, Chen Zong's cultivation increased to the final stage. The power of his cultivation surged in his body. However, the power of the fruit had not been completely refined and absorbed by Chen Zong. It was still boundless. What he had just refined and absorbed was only a small part of it.
Refine!
The Sword God and Demon Sword Manual continued to circulate. Chen Zong also continued to refine the power of the fruit. It was just a fruit the size of an egg, but the power it contained was shockingly boundless.
His cultivation gradually increased until it reached the peak of the final stage. Then, he continued to accumulate power and launched another attack.
Breakthrough!
With another breakthrough, his cultivation rose to the Complete Realm of the Sixth Level.
As the last bit of the fruit's power was refined and absorbed by Chen Zong, his cultivation also completely stabilized at the sixth realm, complete stage. That was the cultivation of both Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement. The initial stage had surpassed the final stage, and the improvement to complete stage brought Chen Zong an astonishing amount of improvement.
