"The Starsource Bamboo Ocean underwent a drastic change?"
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
In his memories from his previous life, the source of the Eroding Dragon River was a vast sea of sand, not the Starsource Bamboo Ocean.
It was called …
The Starsource Sand Ocean!
Before the Soaring Dragon Convention was held …
When he went to the Starsource Bamboo Ocean in search of fortuitous encounters, he accidentally fell into an alternate dimension and arrived at a desolate world with only sand and stones. It was there that he saved Ji Changfeng and the others.
At that time, Chen Xiao had his suspicions …
There was a high chance that the alternate dimension would eventually become the Star Sand Sea.
However, even though his mind was filled with thoughts, Chen Xiao remained unmoved on the surface.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly. I've been in seclusion for the past two months and haven't asked about the outside world. "
"It's like this."
Seeing that Chen Xiao's expression did not seem to be fake, Patriarch Xuankong suppressed his doubts and explained in a deep voice, "The Starsource Bamboo Ocean at the source of the Eroding Dragon River underwent a drastic change overnight. The bamboo ocean has completely disappeared, replaced by an extremely desolate desert!"
Chen Xiao's pupils instantly contracted.
It really was the Starsource Sand Ocean!
"If that's the case, then perhaps my previous guess was correct! The Starsource Sand Ocean and the Starsource Bamboo Ocean are one life and one death, one Yin and one Yang. It's like the Yin and Yang fish on the Taiji diagram! "
The entire source of the Eroding Dragon River was like a giant hourglass.
Originally, the Starsource Bamboo Ocean was above, while the Starsource Sand Ocean was below.
Now, the hourglass had turned upside down …
Therefore, the Starsource Bamboo Ocean had disappeared, and the Starsource Sand Ocean had appeared!
"Although it's not completely accurate, my speculation might be close to the truth. However, if I want to find out the truth, I'll have to go to the source of the Eroding Dragon River again! "
Chen Xiao nodded as he pondered to this point.
"The Starsource Bamboo Ocean has transformed into a desert, this is a strange matter. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xuan Kong has come here with the intention of inviting me to investigate it with you?"
"Exactly!"
Ancestor Xuankong nodded and said in a deep voice, "That desert is very strange. Even a grain of sand weighs more than a thousand catties, and there are some ancient buildings in it. It's very likely that the entire desert is an ancient ruin!"
As he spoke.
Patriarch Xuankong couldn't help but feel excited.
At his age, at his level of cultivation …
The golden years of martial arts cultivation had long passed, and his cultivation potential had basically been exhausted.
Even if it was just a trace of improvement, it could be said to be extremely difficult!
The appearance of an ancient ruin symbolized unknown danger, but at the same time, it also meant a hidden opportunity!
"Ever since I entered the Celestial Bridge Realm, over the past few hundred years, my cultivation has been progressing very slowly."
While speaking, Patriarch Xuankong smiled bitterly. "Some martial artists saw some broken tablets in the desert, and there are also some places that are suspected to have been left behind by ancient masters! Perhaps in that desert, there is hope for this old man to advance a step further. "
In fact …
Be it his previous life or this life, Chen Xiao had seen such situations too many times.
For the majority of martial artists …
There was a limit to one's talent, and there was a limit to cultivation.
Once one reached the limit of their talent, the effort needed to break through to the next level … would be several times more than before!
Therefore.
It wasn't surprising that Patriarch Xuankong wanted to go to the Star Sand Ocean.
"I understand. When do we set off?"
In the end, Chen Xiao nodded and asked.
Seeing this, Patriarch Xuankong was overjoyed. "Since Fellow Daoist Xiao has agreed, that's great!"
Saying this, he paused for a moment before adding, "Apart from Fellow Daoist Xiao, I've invited four other fellow daoists. If everything goes according to plan, we'll be leaving tonight at midnight."
In the end, Patriarch Xuankong asked Chen Xiao to teach him a few spatial techniques.
After being slapped into the ground by Chen Xiao, the leader of the Merchant Union left with a satisfied expression.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'll see you at midnight tonight!"
…
Half a day passed quickly.
After consolidating the results of his secluded cultivation, it was already late at night.
"It's about time."
He looked up at the sky.
In the hazy night, Chen Xiao floated out of Aurora City without alerting anyone.
His destination — the source of the Corrosive Dragon River!
An impatient voice was immediately heard the moment they arrived in the vicinity of the sea of Starsource Bamboo.
"Xuankong, is this kid the expert you were talking about?"
The person who spoke was a fat middle-aged woman. She looked at Chen Xiao with indescribable disdain. "He made us Celestial Bridge State wait for him for half a night, and in the end … he's just a Golden Core ant?"
The cultivation that Chen Xiao revealed was that of a second Golden Core —
Peak Golden Core!
"How can he be a peak Golden Core? Old geezer Xuankong, are you mistaken?"
"That's right, we should be thankful that this kid doesn't cause us trouble. How can he be the expert you were talking about?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, is he your illegitimate child?"
When the others heard this, they also began to question it.
If it was an Essence Soul State, they could barely accept it.
But a Jindan State?
Forget it!
"No, no, no. Fellow Xiao's cultivation is actually more powerful than mine."
Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Patriarch Xuankong hurriedly explained, "It's just that because of the cultivation technique, his cultivation is only at the peak of Jindan State …"
That being said.
In fact, even Patriarch Xuankong himself didn't quite believe this explanation.
If it was just a secret technique to hide one's aura, then he could barely accept it. But a cultivation technique that caused one's cultivation to drop … He had never heard of such a strange cultivation technique!
"You might as well not give me an explanation!"
Hearing this, the fat woman rolled her eyes. "But never mind, exploring the Desert Ocean is more important. Let's take him with us first. If we run into trouble, we can throw him out first. "
"Alright, it's settled then."
"Let's not waste time, let's go!"
"Kid, you better follow closely. If you get lost, we won't help you!"
The Celestial Bridge State warriors all agreed.
However, from the beginning until the end, no one asked for Chen Xiao's opinion.
"Fellow Cultivator Xiao, I'm really sorry, but …"
Patriarch Xuankong gave him an apologetic look.
Chen Xiao could not help but shake his head speechlessly.
"I've already said that I'm just cultivating … Never mind, exploring the Desert Ocean is more important. Let's go first."
Currently, most of his attention was on the second Golden Core.
He couldn't be bothered with such a clumsy provocation.
What did it have to do with him?
"Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Cultivator Xiao."
Patriarch Xuankong heaved a sigh of relief.
"This kid's acting is quite like an expert."
When the fat woman saw this, she immediately sneered.
