A bone-piercing chill enveloped Xiao Chen and Qing Qing, as if two exceptionally sharp swords were pressing against their backs.
How could the power of a person's gaze be so terrifying? This was truly unimaginable. One could imagine how powerful that woman was.
Suddenly, a dazzling light streaked across the sky and chased after him. It was actually a human figure. The light gradually calmed down, and a woman appeared in the hazy light, standing in the sky above the sea.
When Xiao Chen saw that woman's appearance clearly, he stopped. She was actually exactly the same as the woman in the painting. It was as if she was the Ruo Shui that he had killed in his heart.
Qing Qing pulled on the corner of Xiao Chen's clothes and said softly, "The girl in the lotus platform did not come. This is formed from her essence."
Xiao Chen nodded. Even when facing this woman who looked exactly like his former lover, his heart did not waver in the slightest. It was as if he was an outsider. He calmly asked, "Who are you?"
The woman made of Essence Energy was as proud and aloof as a cold fairy. She ignored Xiao Chen and stared at Qing Qing as she said, "Follow me from now on."
Without any superfluous words, she tore open space and passed through a space channel. Her slender jade-like finger pointed at Qing Qing.
This startled Xiao Chen. He had not expected this woman to attack just like that. The strength of such a person was unfathomable. Based on her aura, she was probably no weaker than a half-step Martial Ancestor. With a shake of his hand, he smashed the black metal engravings out. Then, using the extreme speed of the Eightfold Symbols, he brought Qing Qing along and soared into the sky once more.
The Dark Iron Seal had once killed a Half Martial Ancestor. Even though it was now cracked and close to shattering, unable to unleash much of its power, it was still enough to frighten others. After all, its grade was enough to move even a Half Martial Ancestor.
Xiao Chen and Qing Qing moved fifty kilometers in an instant. Some people could not be defeated head-on; they could only flee.
However … A moment later, the woman traversed through space and caught up to him. It could be said that there were not many people who could catch up to the Eight Phases Extreme Speed. However, this woman could do it. It was enough to show how terrifying it was.
Whoosh …
Light flashed. The woman cut off their path. He stared at Qing Qing and said the same thing, "You will follow me from now on."
"Beautiful sister, why do you want me to follow you?"
Qing Qing asked.
The woman did not reply. He looked at Xiao Chen, whom he had been ignoring. "Get out of the way."
And only at this time did the cracked jet-black metal engraving fly back to Xiao Chen's hand. A few more cracks appeared on it.
"Why are you taking her away?"
Xiao Chen blocked in front of Qing Qing. The golden divine halberd appeared in his hand, and the black iron engraved seal floated in front of him.
"Get lost!"
The woman replied coldly. She waved her long sleeves forward. She was condensed from essence energy, so her sleeves were naturally made of pure essence energy as well.
Even with the protection of the golden divine halberd and the dark iron engravings, Xiao Chen was still knocked back several hundred meters in an instant. Fortunately, the woman did not kill him. She only wanted to make him retreat.
Although this girl looked very much like Ruo Shui, Xiao Chen had already discarded her from his heart. Therefore, he didn't feel any different emotions, only doubt and anger.
Qing Qing quickly rushed over and supported Xiao Chen. Then, she faced the girl that followed them like a shadow and said, "Pretty Elder Sister, I'll go with you. However, don't make another move."
"Alright."
The girl nodded proudly and did not even look at Xiao Chen.
And at this moment, Xiao Chen could already confirm that this girl was definitely not Ruo Shui. Because her proud and aloof eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time. It was definitely not something a young girl should have.
Qing Qing squeezed Xiao Chen's palm hard and stopped him from saying what he wanted to say. Xiao Chen discovered that there was a thumb-sized crystal pagoda in his hand. He instantly understood what Qing Qing meant.
"Uncle, you have to take care of yourself."
These were the last words Qing Qing said before she was taken away by that girl.
Xiao Chen felt disappointed and frustrated. At the same time, he felt a sense of humiliation in his heart. He could only watch helplessly as Qing Qing was taken away, but he did not have the strength to stop her.
The exquisite crystal pagoda in his hand was warm and sparkling. Its surface was overflowing with light. Xiao Chen gently rubbed it. He knew what Qing Qing meant. She wanted him to use this pagoda to seek help from that powerful and mysterious strange uncle.
He soared into the sky and flew into the distance.
The chaotic battle was still going on in the depths of the vast sea. The huge dragon pearl actually shattered and broke through the seal like a dragon's soul. It shot out in all directions.
The cultivators fighting on the ground and the rogue cultivators from overseas used their magic power to plunder it. However, they all ended up empty-handed. The shattered dragon pearl penetrated every nook and cranny and sank into the sea. It rushed toward the immortal island that was densely dotted with stars.
"It's just as the old ancestor predicted. We can't take it by force. We can only take it slowly. "
The cultivators from Shu Mountain sighed.
The chaotic battle gradually calmed down. The figures that filled the sky gradually dispersed. Many corpses floated in the sea. The blood attracted schools of sharks. Soon, those cultivators who died in battle were divided up and eaten.
How could he find that powerful old man? Xiao Chen sank his spiritual sense into the crystal pagoda and unexpectedly found a spiritual imprint that explained how to use this treasure.
"Hehe, Brother Chen Zhan, we meet again."
A figure rushed over from the distant sky. The newcomer was as handsome as jade. His purple clothes fluttered in the wind. It was the strongest cultivator of Shu Mountain's younger generation, Deng Yu.
"Nice to meet you."
Although Xiao Chen did not have a good impression of him, he did not want to fight with him now.
"Where did Fairy Qing Qing go?"
Deng Yu had a smile on his face.
"She had something to do, so she left first."
"What a pity, I missed her again."
Speaking until here, he looked at Xiao Chen with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Brother Chen's cultivation is superb. Why don't we have a spar? Now that Qing Qing is not stopping us, we can have a good exchange."
Xiao Chen sensed a hint of mockery in his words. He frowned and said, "I'm not your match. You should find someone else to spar with."
"Now that Qing Qing is not here, no one will stop us from fighting. Brother Chen, don't be so humble."
The mockery was very obvious.
"Are you trying to say that since Qing Qing is not here, there is no one to protect me?"
Xiao Chen looked at Deng Yu calmly.
"If that's what you think, it's not impossible."
A mocking expression flashed across Deng Yu's face. "Qing Qing is not here now. You better bring out your true abilities. Otherwise, you might get seriously injured."
"You are in the Nirvana Realm?"
"Yes, but we call it the Tribulation Fire Realm here."
Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Calamity Fire, and Flying Immortal were the five great realms of immortals. Just like martial arts practitioners and divine arts practitioners, each realm was divided into nine heavens.
In reality, the realms of cultivators could be completely interlinked with those of divine arts practitioners and martial arts practitioners. Before breaking through life and death, there were five great realms. Foundation Building corresponded to Shedding Mortality, Jindan corresponded to Historia, Yuanying corresponded to Zephyr, Tribulation Fire corresponded to Nirvana, and Flying Immortal corresponded to Longevity.
Whoosh …
With a flash of light, Deng Yu closed in on Zhang Xuan. A purple flying sword that was only half a foot long floated in front of him. He smiled coldly and said, "Whether you live or die will depend on your luck and strength."
Xiao Chen did not fly away. Instead, he smiled coldly and was about to take out the Clear Sky Pagoda. Although he had just found out how to use it, he believed in the might of this treasure.
Chi!
The purple sword tore through the air, leaving behind a long trail of purple light. It slashed down like a purple rainbow.
The thumb-sized crystal pagoda was as smooth as jade. Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into it. It soared into the sky.
"Dang!"
When the Clear Sky Pagoda enlarged to a foot long, it collided with the purple sword ruthlessly. A misty primal chaos pervaded the air. The Clear Sky Pagoda immediately knocked away the purple sword that was radiating light.
This was the first time Xiao Chen used it, so he could not control it accurately. Otherwise, he would have kept the flying sword away. It would not be like this. It was only able to unleash part of its might.
Deng Yu was bewildered and asked, "What treasure is this?"
Great waves appeared in his heart. The purple sword was the most valuable treasure of Shushan, yet it was knocked away just like that. It was easy to imagine how great the origin of the pagoda was.
Xiao Chen did not reply. He controlled the Clear Sky Pagoda to envelop Deng Yu.
Deng Yu hurriedly took out a piece of green jade and unfolded it in the wind. A jadeite mountain appeared in the air and blocked in front of him.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen was still very "unskilled". The Clear Sky Pagoda crashed into the huge jadeite mountain again and directly shattered it. The broken jade fell into the sea.
A misty primal chaos aura rippled out. The Clear Sky Pagoda spun in the sky and grew larger. Xiao Chen finally grasped the trick to controlling it.
Just as the primal chaos aura spread out, Deng Yu's expression changed. He soared into the sky and shouted, "Let's part ways today. We will fight again next time."
"You want to fight and leave as you wish? It's not that easy. "
Xiao Chen controlled the Clear Sky Pagoda to chase after him. However, in that instant, he started laughing loudly. He put away the Clear Sky Pagoda and said, "The Nirvana Realm really makes people happy and worried. Your strength fluctuates unpredictably. Now, you actually … Haha … "
Xiao Chen directly rushed forward and caught up to the tottering Deng Yu. His right fist made an intimate contact with the right side of Deng Yu's face.
"Pu!"
Deng Yu vomited a mouthful of blood and fell into the sea. He soared into the sky in a sorry state and glared at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in disdain. The Eight Phases Extreme Speed instantly appeared and punched again, making an intimate contact with the bridge of Deng Yu's nose.
"Kacha!"
The straight bridge of Deng Yu's nose immediately broke and blood flowed.
"You …"
Deng Yu was both shocked and furious. At the same time, he felt incomparable fear. He had never expected that his cultivation would fluctuate at the crucial moment because he was in the Tribulation Fire Realm.
He knew that he was affected by the primal chaos aura that the Clear Sky Pagoda gave off. Otherwise, based on his previous experience, he would need another half a month or so before he would fall into a trough.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen's right leg swept across Deng Yu's abdomen, and he immediately flew back while screaming miserably.
"Brat, you …"
Deng Yu felt extremely sullen. He actually dropped the ball at the crucial moment, getting beaten up by someone with a lower cultivation than him. There was nothing more infuriating than this.
"Pa!"
Xiao Chen swung his arm and sent Deng Yu flying with a slap. Then, he soared into the sky and stomped on Deng Yu's body several times.
This was a blatant abuse, beating up a Tribulation Fire Realm Immortal Cultivator.
Light flickered, and a layer of Battle Armor appeared on the surface of Deng Yu's body, even covering his head.
"Is there any use? I just didn't want to kill you earlier. "
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and raised his right palm, attacking mercilessly with the Hand of Heaven.
"Bang!"
His palm landed solidly on Deng Yu's chest.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
Cracking sounds rang out, and Deng Yu's Battle Armor shattered. He revealed an incredulous expression. This was a defensive Treasure Armor. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen, whose cultivation was far lower than his, shattered it so easily.
"Stop!"
Sonic booms came from the distance, and two middle-aged Immortal Cultivators flew over.
Xiao Chen did not even turn his head. He simply pressed down on Deng Yu's body. In that instant, all the bones in Deng Yu's body gave off cracking sounds. At the same time, the Yuanying in his body shattered.
Deng Yu screamed miserably. It was like Deng Yu's essence, Qi, and spirit were all sucked out of his body. He collapsed weakly in the air and fell towards the sea.
Xiao Chen took out the Clear Sky Pagoda and put him away.
"You …"
The two middle-aged Immortal Cultivators were enraged. They let out thunderous roars and arrived in an instant. They had not expected Xiao Chen to be so decisive and ruthless, to actually attack without hesitation.
"I never show mercy to my enemies. I will not leave behind any future troubles for myself. "
Xiao Chen was now confident. The Clear Sky Pagoda was very powerful and could deal with the two people in front of him.
One of the middle-aged Immortal Cultivators arrived in an instant, and sword Qi filled the air.
Xiao Chen did not panic at all. He directly took out the Clear Sky Pagoda. Now, he had completely grasped how to use this supreme treasure of his sect.
The crystal pagoda spun, and resplendent multicolored light illuminated the surroundings. It quickly enlarged and fell down. A primal chaos aura covered the sky and ground.
"Ah …"
The middle-aged Immortal Cultivator turned pale with fright. He discovered that he could not resist that terrifying energy and was immediately swallowed up by the pagoda.
There was a flash of light, and the Clear Sky Pagoda instantly shrunk to the size of a thumb. It flew back to Xiao Chen's hand and gave off a dreamy glow.
"That is … the legendary Clear Sky Pagoda?"
The other Immortal Cultivator was shocked. He revealed an incredulous expression and said, "How is that possible?"
After saying that, he actually fled without looking back. He shouted, "The Clear Sky Pagoda has reappeared …"
Xiao Chen wanted to take out the pagoda and seal him as well. However, he changed his mind in an instant and decided to borrow his mouth to spread the news. If that mysterious and powerful old man was still in the human world, he would definitely take the initiative to look for him.
What he needed to do now was to find a secret place to hide and wait for his reinforcements to sense the spiritual imprint in the pagoda.
Xiao Chen did not know the origins of the Clear Sky Pagoda, but many people in the Cultivation World knew that there was such a holy item.
The news spread very quickly. Xiao Chen waited on a deserted island for half a month before he finally saw the master of the pagoda.
Although they had never met before. However, Xiao Chen was certain that the old man was definitely the Earthly Monster Uncle that Qing Qing had mentioned. The old man was laughing and joking. He seemed to be a very optimistic old urchin. His white hair was messy and he was dressed very carelessly.
It was impossible to estimate his cultivation. It was as if he was boundless like the vast ocean, but also as empty as a vacuum.
"Young man, you spent so much effort to lure me here. Did something happen to my disciple?"
The old man's eyes were filled with wisdom.
This astonished Xiao Chen, but he did not say anything. The old man seemed to have guessed it. This saved him a lot of time and effort, and he could tell everything directly.
"How did I provoke her …"
The old man frowned. He muttered to himself, "Not many people in the Cultivation World dare to provoke her."
"This …"
Xiao Chen was somewhat disappointed.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go find her and get my good disciple back."
The old man waved his hand and said, "If she is unreasonable, I will exchange a few moves with her."
The old man could be said to be very powerful. He stretched out his hand and opened up a spatial tunnel. He pulled Xiao Chen into it and appeared in the sky of an Immortal Island in an instant.
"This is not the Shushan Immortal Island."
"I know."
The old man led Xiao Chen into the depths of the Immortal Island and said, "There are a total of nine islands with spatial gates that connect to the dimensional space where that woman is."
"How can this be?"
Xiao Chen was very confused.
"The nine Immortal Islands represent the nine great sects of the Cultivation World. That woman has a very scary origin. She is guarding the Heaven Bridge, ensuring that the Cultivation World and the Human World are connected."
While speaking, they stepped into the spatial gate on this island. After that, with a flash of light, they appeared in the dimensional space where the Twelfth Lotus Throne was located.
"She actually found the Twelfth Lotus Throne. It seems to be even better than the treasure of that Buddha in the Immortal World because it is still growing. I know, she wants to use the Twelfth Lotus Throne that is still growing to nourish the four legendary swords! "
Just at this time, an incomparably cold voice came from the Twelfth Lotus Throne, "You are right."
