Chapter 559: The Central Continent
Chapter 559: The Central Continent
Lu Chen's heart finally eased upon hearing this.
"What plans does the sect have for us?" he asked Ge Pu.
"Using the ancient teleportation formation within the Formation Hall, you and the other disciples will be sent to the Central Continent," Ge Pu explained.
"The Central Continent... Is that the famed cultivation paradise?" Lu Chen mused, his eyes narrowing in thought. Although he rarely ventured out to explore mysterious realms, he was familiar with some basic knowledge of the cultivation world.
The Celestial Sword Sect was located in the remote eastern wilderness of Yunxu Domain, while the Central Continent sat at its heart, more than ten times larger than the entire eastern region. Countless powerful sects and ancient clans resided there, along with innumerable secret realms and blessed lands, making it the dream cultivation ground for countless cultivators.
However, the two regions were separated by treacherous and dangerous lands, and communication between them was rare.
"Indeed. The Eastern Wilderness is no longer suitable for cultivation due to the breach in the spatial barrier deep within the Black Demon Abyss, allowing demons from outside the domain to invade. And the situation is only worsening," Ge Pu continued.
"But the Central Continent is different. The two regions are separated by perilous forbidden lands, making it extremely difficult for demons to pass through. Moreover, the Central Continent is home to numerous powerful sects, several times more than the Eastern Wilderness, and even includes the presence of Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if demons were to intrude, they would be swiftly dealt with."
"For at least the next few hundred years, we need not worry about demons overtaking the Central Continent."
"Thus, the sect has decided to allocate most of its resources to inner sect disciples and transport them in batches to the Central Continent. There, in a relatively safe environment, you will have the opportunity to cultivate and even return to the Cave Void Sword Sect in the Canglan Realm if you achieve success."
Lu Chen nodded in understanding.
"But what about the outer sect disciples? How will they be accommodated?" he asked suddenly.
"The ancient teleportation formation is unlike ordinary teleportation arrays. It places significant demands on a cultivator's spiritual soul and physical body. If a Qi Refining cultivator were to use the formation, they might very well become lost within it," Ge Pu said.
"So, the sect will provide those inner sect disciples at the Qi Refining stage with pills and magical artifacts to help them break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and leave the Eastern Wilderness before the demons can overrun it."
"I see," Lu Chen said with a bitter smile. "I suppose I'm considered rather lucky then."
"Right, Brother Ge, there's something else I don't quite understand," Lu Chen said. "As far as I know, there are space treasures that can hold spiritual beasts and plants. If we were to place the disciples inside one of those, could we transport them across domains to the Cave Void Sword Sect?"
He thought of the fifth-grade treasure he had obtained from the ball of light, the Gluttonous Beast Pouch.
"Space treasures are extremely rare, and those capable of transporting across domains are even rarer," Ge Pu replied. "Only powerful artifacts have such a capability. Ordinary space treasures are easily affected by spatial turbulence during transportation and may be destroyed, potentially wiping out everyone inside."
Ge Pu patiently explained, and Lu Chen nodded to show he understood.
"Thank you, Brother Ge, for coming to inform me of this earth-shattering secret. It gives me more time to prepare," Lu Chen said respectfully.
"It's only natural. But I ask that you keep this matter confidential for now to avoid causing panic among our fellow disciples," Ge Pu said gently.
"Rest assured, Brother Ge. I won't let a third person know, other than you and me," Lu Chen promised solemnly.
"By the way, Brother Ge, do you remember when you took me to see Uncle Qingxu, and he asked me to cultivate a fifth-grade Pure Serenity Tea plant? Now that he has unfortunately passed away, what should I do with that fifth-grade spirit plant?" Lu Chen asked hesitantly.
"As far as I know, Uncle Qingxu never married and left no descendants. He only had a few fellow disciples with whom he shared a master-disciple relationship. But none of them are direct disciples, and giving the fifth-grade spirit plant to them would be a waste," Ge Pu said. "Here's what we'll do, Brother Lu. If anyone comes to ask you for that fifth-grade spirit plant, just tell them that I've already made arrangements. If they have any objections, they can come to me. Consider it a way to repay you for helping me break through to the Golden Core stage."
After Ge Pu left, Lu Chen stood there for a long while, his mind racing as he processed the astonishing news.
"Looks like I'll have to leave the sect and forge my own path in the Central Continent," he mused.
Initially, upon hearing that the Nascent Soul elder intended to abandon him and depart for the Canglan Realm, Lu Chen felt displeased. However, as Ge Pu explained, his resentment faded away.
Traversing domains was fraught with dangers, and even a Golden Core cultivator could only barely protect themselves. A Nascent Soul elder could shield a limited number of people, and they would undoubtedly prioritize their close relatives and direct disciples.
One was connected to the Nascent Soul elder by blood, a close relative. The other was Lu Chen, who possessed extraordinary talent and potential, with the possibility of achieving the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stage.
As for Lu Chen, despite displaying unparalleled talent as a Spirit Herbalist, the sect's upper echelon viewed him as having average talent and limited potential. Thus, they had made alternative arrangements to send him to the Central Continent.
"However, going by what Brother Ge said, I'm considered one of the sect's hopes as well. I wonder what resources I'll be allocated."
"It will most likely be related to spirit herbalism..."
With the decision made, Lu Chen could only make the best of the situation and maintain a positive outlook.
"For now, the most urgent task is to relocate the spirit plants from my cave abode, the Incomplete Mystical Domain, and the courtyard in Jianmen Town's underworld," he thought.
"Thankfully, Brother Ge gave me a heads-up. Otherwise, I might have overlooked something in my haste."
"Additionally, I should visit the Hall of Agriculture one last time to obtain more spirit seeds and cultivation techniques. And I ought to stop by the Hall of Pills to see if I can learn the refinement methods for one or two more high-grade pills."
Lu Chen quickly sorted out what he needed to do before leaving the sect.
He arrived at the Formation Hall and used their teleportation array to reach the Incomplete Mystical Domain.
"What a pity to leave such a wonderful mystical domain," he sighed as he carefully dug up the numerous high-grade spirit plants that had been cultivated there for years, placing them into the Gluttonous Beast Pouch.
The Phoenix Tree, a sixth-grade spirit plant, had been nurtured for many years and was thriving.
The Primordial Magnetism Spirit Tree, also sixth-grade, had insufficient cultivation conditions, so its spirit seed was simply placed within the domain to preserve its vitality.
There were three fifth-grade spirit plants: the Dragon Carcass Grass, with only one matured plant remaining; the Pure Serenity Tea that Elder Qingxu had requested him to cultivate; the Buddhist-related Vajra Bodhi; and the Heart Ape Fruit given to him by the White Jade Sky-supporting Ape.
As for fourth-grade spirit plants, there were three types: the Earth Emperor Jujube, the Red Flame Gourd, and the Seven Emotions Bean.
Before leaving, Lu Chen hesitated and then scooped up the fiery soil used to cultivate the Red Flame Gourd, adding it to his Gluttonous Beast Pouch.
He also took out numerous white jade bottles and filled them with over a hundred bottles of Ethereal Spring Spirit Dew. Additionally, he did not forget to take the Demon Subduing Stakes used to cultivate the Vajra Bodhi.
"This mystical domain belongs to the sect, and I only have the right to use it. With my impending departure to the Central Continent, it will be difficult to return here, so apart from transplanting the spirit plants, I have no other choice."
"If only I had my own independent and complete mystical domain."
Lu Chen turned to glance at the confused Wood Spirit Fairy who was seeing him off, and he sighed. A strong desire to possess a mystical domain of his own arose within him.
