Among the people who ascended at about the same time as Yang Chen, no one was more familiar with the geography of the Spiritual Realm than Yang Chen. Even those who had ascended for thousands of years or even longer might not be able to compare with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen knew all three places marked on the map. However, they were not in prosperous places. Instead, they were all distributed in barren hills and unruly rivers. Two of them were even in extremely dangerous places. Even Yang Chen in his previous life would not necessarily choose those two places when he was desperately trying to avoid being hunted.
The last place was relatively peaceful and not as dangerous as the first two places. As a result, this place was not rarely visited by people. Many rogue cultivators gathered in this area, which increased the chances of Yang Chen exposing himself if he wanted to sneak around.
Of course, Yang Chen's first stop was a slightly simpler place. Even if there were a lot of cultivators, Yang Chen believed that as long as he was careful enough, he could still solve it without alarming anyone. Anyway, his main purpose was to be able to consume his spiritual awareness. Getting a Celestial Immortal guard was a side benefit, it was not a direct goal.
Coincidentally, this area was also one of the many places that Yang Chen had proposed when he was seeking a place to stay in Chunyang Palace not long ago. The entire area belonged to Yanluo Mountain.
After Yang Chen proposed to Yanluo Mountain, many sects sent a lot of experts to plough the entire boundary of Yanluo Mountain. No matter what kind of discovery was made, they would not let it go. As long as it was related to cultivation, all of them were carefully searched.
After such a thorough search, those people also found a few Earth Immortal and Heaven Immortal spirit veins. No Sect would complain about having too many Heaven Immortal spirit veins in their Sect. The original owner of the area happily accepted these Heaven Immortal spirit veins. As for the newly discovered Earth Immortal spirit veins, they generously let some rogue cultivators occupy them. In just a few years, these places became very lively gathering areas for cultivators. Many rogue cultivators would choose to make a comeback and seek a place to cultivate here at a certain price.
There was a unique mark on the map, which should be the location where the antenna expert was imprisoned and sealed. The specific location was not very close to the spirit veins. On the contrary, it was at the edge of several spirit veins. This was also the reason why Yang Chen was confident that he would not alarm many people.
Yang Chen knew in his previous life that there were several famous Heaven Immortal spirit veins in Yanluo Mountain. At the same time, it was also a very famous gathering place. However, it was a pity that Yang Chen did not come here in person in his previous life. Therefore, even if there was a map, Yang Chen needed to ask a few questions to determine the direction.
There were really a lot of cultivators here. In less than half a day, Yang Chen met three or four of them. After Yang Chen asked for the way, he would seriously point out the direction to him. All of them were pointing in the same direction. Not a single one of them was wrong. Sometimes, Yang Chen would be surprised. Was he so lucky that he met good people?
After a few more days of travel, he would be able to reach his destination. Yang Chen didn't care too much about it. He went all the way to his destination. He didn't notice the surprise in the eyes of the few cultivators after they saw him off.
The last person who had given him directions had actually shown a trace of surprise, but Yang Chen did not care. If it were Yang Chen, he would also be surprised that he did not go to the place where the spirit veins gathered, but to another desolate place where birds did not lay eggs. It was not a big deal.
Not far ahead was the valley that Yang Chen wanted to go to. The shape of the valley was very special. From the top, it looked like a gourd. If an ordinary person wanted to go in, they would have to go through the small mouth of the gourd. The target that Yang Chen was looking for was at the bottom of the gourd. He needed to go through a narrow passage between two open spaces.
This kind of terrain was not difficult for a Human Immortal level cultivator at all. When Yang Chen was planning to fly directly in, a warning sign appeared in his heart. He instantly stopped his figure, hovered in the air, and carefully stared at the surroundings.
He did not know when, but above the gourd valley, a large group of ordinary looking flying insects had appeared in an area hundreds of feet around Yang Chen. With Yang Chen as the center, they formed a huge circle of flying insects.
These flying insects looked exactly the same. They were not even the size of a pinky nail. They were grey and looked inconspicuous. However, the large number of them was accompanied by a buzzing sound of flapping wings, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
According to common sense, such flying insects could be smashed into a ball with a slap. However, for no reason, Yang Chen felt a sense of danger. If he forced his way in, it was likely that he would be entangled by these flying insects.
Taking out an ordinary Flying Sword, Yang Chen gently flicked his finger. The Flying Sword flew straight into the group of flying insects hundreds of feet away. Yang Chen did not use his Spiritual Sense to control the sword. He purely relied on brute force to flick it over. However, on the Flying Sword, Yang Chen attached a thread of Spiritual Sense to let him know what would happen.
As soon as the Flying Sword reached the group of flying insects, just as Yang Chen expected from the beginning, the sharp edge of the sword cut a flying insect that happened to touch the blade into two.
Everything seemed normal, but what happened next directly made Yang Chen feel a chill down his spine.
In that direction, countless flying insects suddenly rushed to the Flying Sword, as if the Flying Sword was a delicious food, gnawing at it madly. The noise of the crunching could be heard even from hundreds of feet away by Yang Chen. The Flying Sword, under the crazy gnawing of the flying insects, disappeared without a trace before it fell to the ground. It was all swallowed by these inconspicuous little flying insects.
Not only the Flying Sword, but even the thread of Spiritual Sense attached to the Flying Sword by Yang Chen seemed to have become a delicious food for the flying insects. A few flying insects desperately entangled the thread of Spiritual Sense, and Yang Chen immediately felt a pain.
It was the pain from the Spiritual Sense, as if the pain was spontaneously generated in the depths of the soul. Yang Chen made a prompt decision and took the initiative to cut off the thread of Spiritual Sense. The moment after he cut it off, he saw that from the Flying Sword to the place where the thread of Spiritual Sense was cut off, countless flying insects formed a thin line, and the arrangement was exactly the shape of the thread of Spiritual Sense. In the blink of an eye, the feeling of the thread of Spiritual Sense disappeared, as if it had never existed.
What kind of insect was this, not only could it swallow the Flying Sword, but it could also swallow the Spiritual Sense? If it were not for Yang Chen's vigilance and using his Spiritual Sense to control the sword, most of his Spiritual Sense would have been corroded.
