Chapter 884: The Desired Object, Farewell to Yuquan

January 13, 2025

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two rays of light flashed and disappeared, revealing two figures above the formation.

A man and a woman, it was Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen subconsciously looked down, and the light of the teleportation formation was gradually fading, and those familiar patterns were becoming hidden.

This teleportation formation seemed to be connected to the super-large teleportation formation beneath the Crossing Truth Hall.

In other words, he had arrived at Cangwu Mountain!

A faint sound of footsteps echoed, and Qing Shuang had already stepped off the formation platform.

Turning around, Qing Shuang once again expressed her affirmation of Luo Chen's body refinement realm.

When Luo Chen fled back then, he used her Qing Luan Lingyu, which allowed him to withstand the spatial pressure of long-distance teleportation.

This time, even without her care and without a teleportation token, Luo Chen felt no discomfort. He didn't even need to mobilize his spiritual power, relying solely on his physical strength.

Such a performance, aside from her and her sister, there was no third person in Cangwu Mountain.

Yuquan had her eye on him back then, and indeed, she had some foresight.

"Let's go, let's head towards the Crossing Truth Hall."

Luo Chen gave up studying the teleportation formation and followed her outside.

"Wasn't the Primordial Lord going to see me?"

The woman's calm reply echoed within the thick walls of the upward passage.

"She wants to see you, but when she does depends on her mood."

"Hmm? What does that mean? You forced me to come, but won't let me see her?"

"It's not really forcing, it's just a side task. On my trip to the Medicine King Domain, I was after the Void Accumulating Flower. Unfortunately, the flower wasn't ripe, but I saw you, so I invited you over."

"Well, 'invited'..."

The man's words carried a hint of laughter, with a touch of self-mockery.

The woman was completely unaware, as if she didn't care about the self-mockery and the strange atmosphere. For her, bringing someone back to Cangwu Mountain often meant bringing them back with just a flick of her sleeve. Today, Luo Chen was walking alongside her with a clear mind, so it could indeed be considered an 'invitation'.

"I don't understand, Luo, if not for that chance encounter, how would the Primordial Lord want to see me? Perhaps you don't know, according to the plan, I was going to go to the Abyss Sect for cultivation soon."

"Abyss Sect?"

Qing Shuang repeated the name, and for the first time, her tone paused.

But after a moment, she said matter-of-factly, "In this world, if my sister wants to see you, it's not just the Abyss Sect, even the Heavenly Abyss wouldn't be able to stop her."

Luo Chen was speechless.

He could naturally sense Qing Shuang's absolute confidence in Qixia Primordial Lord's strength, which came from deep within her bones.

However, if the rumors were to be believed, Qixia's rise to power was only a thousand years ago, making her one of the younger top-tier demon race powerhouses in the Eastern Wilderness.

At such a young age, how powerful could she be?

How could she possibly treat a sacred land with three Incarnation Great Beings as if it were uninhabited? But if Luo Chen's calculations based on the intelligence he obtained from the Demon-Subduing Land were correct, then it seemed that everything made sense.

Wait a minute?

Demon-Subduing Land!

Luo Chen's heart trembled as he vaguely guessed what Qixia Primordial Lord desired.

"You go and wait at the Crossing Truth Hall for a few days. I don't keep people in this Hall of Daylight. Over there, you should be familiar with it."

"Indeed, I am familiar with it, hehe."

After exiting the underground teleportation formation, Luo Chen stepped into the main hall of the Hall of Daylight.

The vast palace was cold and desolate, so lonely that even the sound of their footsteps was clearly audible.

When they reached the door, Qing Shuang flicked her sleeve.

Creak!

The bronze gates slowly opened.

Outside the hall, someone was already waiting.

"Hall Master!" A plump and beautiful woman bowed gracefully.

"Hmm."

Qing Shuang acknowledged with a sound, and after Luo Chen exited, she waved her sleeve, and the doors of the Hall of Daylight closed with a boom.

This gesture seemed like she was driving away a guest.

"Don't mind it, she's always like this."

Luo Chen turned around and looked at the familiar woman, nodding.

He Qingzi carefully examined Luo Chen.

His face was like a jade crown, his demeanor calm and composed, and even in a dangerous situation, he showed no signs of panic.

Even though his complexion was slightly pale due to excessive spiritual power consumption, the demeanor of a generation's master, deep and majestic, was inadvertently revealed.

He Qingzi's eyes lit up.

"Luo Chen, after more than a hundred years apart, I never thought you'd become so powerful!"

Luo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Fellow Daoist, your cultivation has also progressed greatly, surpassing the early stages of Nascent Soul?"

He Qingzi smoothed her hair and smiled, "Cangwu Mountain is the sacred land of the Feathered Race, the most suitable place for our Feathered Race to cultivate. Such progress is only natural. But you..."

He Qingzi stopped her words at the right moment.

Because during their chat, they had already reached the edge of the white jade plaza in front of the Hall of Daylight.

Standing on the cliff without a walkway, the man gazed at the mountain scenery filled with clouds and mist, where birds circled, and a look of emotion appeared on his face.

He had returned.

He had a similar emotion when he returned to the Eastern Wilderness.

But that time, he returned with the confidence of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, defeating the proud son of the Daoist sect, and reversing the situation of the Luo Tian Sect. It was like returning home in glory.

But this time, reality was so cold and harsh.

Qing Shuang said it was an invitation, which was more polite and courteous.

But Luo Chen understood that if he didn't agree to that 'invitation', the consequence would be the collapse of his Nascent Soul and a significant decline in cultivation.

At this moment, looking at the familiar scenery, Luo Chen's feelings were incredibly complex.

"Let's go!"

"Okay, let's head over there. Hall Master Qing Shuang has arranged a good cave abode for you. The spiritual energy there is extremely surging, and it's the best place in the Crossing Truth Hall aside from the Hall Master's cave abode."

Even compared to the Vice Hall Master You Quan's cave abode, it was not inferior."

He Qingzi was very enthusiastic and introduced the cave abode to Luo Chen in great detail.

Luo Chen was a little surprised. How had Qing Shuang secretly arranged such a good cave abode for him?

Did she realize that his cultivation was in a state of depletion?

When Luo Chen arrived at the cave abode of Du Zhen Hall, He Qingzi proceeded to introduce him to all the facilities and arrangements.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, became a little impatient.

"Fellow Daoist He Qingzi, you've gone to great lengths."

He Qingzi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. It's what I should be doing. Vice Hall Master You Quan has been in seclusion recently, and that guy from Lei Yu just had his body reconstructed. For now, I'm in charge of Du Zhen Hall. If you have any needs, just send me a message."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a small bird with pale yellow feathers flew over.

The bird was very spiritual and perched on Luo Chen's shoulder.

Obviously, this was the communication channel of Cangwu Mountain.

Luo Chen nodded and then closed the door to the cave abode.

Outside the cave abode, the clouds gradually gathered, and He Qingzi was somewhat reluctant to leave.

"I never thought that the little child from back then has grown so much, even his appearance has become more pleasing to the eye."

"It's indeed a good furnace!"

"No, at this level and age, he's the best candidate for a Dao companion, far surpassing that dead ghost Yun He by a thousand times."

...

Luo Chen couldn't understand why He Qingzi was so enthusiastic. When she was brought back from He Huan Sect by You Quan years ago, she was still depressed.

He didn't have time to worry about it. He immediately set up an isolation formation and then took out two items.

One was fire, and the other was a jade box.

The fire was a pale blue color with a faint golden hue within.

The jade box was covered in intricate restrictions, and even with Luo Chen's current level of expertise, he couldn't figure out how to open it.

So...

"Is it this one?"

"Or is it this one?"

Luo Chen's gaze shifted between the two, his eyes filled with uncertainty.

If the Qi Xia mentioned by the Cauldron Spirit in the Falling Magic Land was not just a namesake but had a profound connection, or even if they were the same person, then the object they sought must be one of these two.

No!

Perhaps there was one more item? Suddenly, Luo Chen remembered another item he had obtained in the Falling Magic Land.

He opened his mouth and spat out a small gray cauldron that slowly floated out.

The cauldron's body was cracked, affecting Luo Chen's mental state as if it were about to split open as well.

He still remembered that he had also collected a ray of gray light, and it was this gray light merging with the Primordial Cauldron that caused this treasure to undergo a transformation.

Not only did it successfully advance to a true artifact, but it also greatly improved the quality of pill refinement and artifact forging. It could even absorb heavenly tribulation thunderbolts.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen carefully observed the cauldron.

At first, he didn't notice anything, but then he discovered something unexpected.

During the previous battle, the Primordial Cauldron had first taken a direct hit from the three great Demon Emperors, and later, when the Roe Deer Thunder Beast was about to unleash the heavenly tribulation, it was struck by Huang Man and Bi Zheng.

The cauldron had suffered severe damage, and even its incredibly hard body had cracks.

However, to Luo Chen's surprise, in a short time, those cracks had shrunk on their own.

This recovery ability was terrifying!

Compared to Xuan Chen Jia, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!

Although when refining treasures, cultivators often intentionally infuse materials with restorative properties, these recovery abilities usually require the cultivator to nurture them or supplement them with additional materials to activate them.

The materials used for the Primordial Cauldron were of excellent quality, but even so, it shouldn't have this level of recovery.

Could this also be the effect of that gray light?

As Luo Chen was thinking, he heard a painful voice in his ear.

Luo Chen frowned, put away the three items, and shook his left arm, causing Hei Wang to roll out.

Hei Wang struggled a few times on the ground before managing to lift his head with difficulty.

"Are you okay?" Luo Chen asked with concern, while taking out some healing pills.

Hei Wang eagerly swallowed the pills, and although their effect had not yet taken place, his face already showed relief.

"I'm fine, just minor injuries!"

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head. "This time, you've endured a lot."

Indeed, it had been a challenging battle.

During the battle, Hei Wang had become Luo Chen's only reliable helper aside from the Nine Spirit Lord.

As a result, he had suffered multiple severe injuries. Not only had he been struck by Huang Man several times, but he had also been torn in half by Qing Shuang.

If it weren't for the "Immortal Body" talent he gained when he advanced to a beast, an ordinary demon beast would have died hundreds or even thousands of times by now.

"It's the fortune of Xiao Hei to be able to risk his life for his master!"

Hei Wang spoke with great righteousness, as if he was willing to lay down his life for Luo Chen to cross a sea of knives and fire.

But...

Hei Wang's neck retracted, and he looked outside with a hint of fear.

"Master, where are we now?"

"Cangwu Mountain, didn't you hear it just now?"

"I did hear it, but I never thought it would be such a place!"

"What's wrong?" Luo Chen asked, puzzled.

Hei Wang's tone was fearful. "This place makes Xiao Hei very uncomfortable."

Uncomfortable? Luo Chen was startled, then suddenly realized.

Hei Wang's original body was a black-scaled python, and its natural enemy was powerful flying birds.

Tianxuan, for example, had been at odds with Hei Wang for many years.

But where were they now?

Cangwu Mountain, the sacred land of the Feathered Race!

There were countless powerful flying birds here, not just one or two. Even if they didn't deliberately release their aura, how could any "crawling creature" not be terrified after accumulating over time?

"No wonder the White Bone Mystic Snake cowered before Qing Shuang, acting as a humble doorman. It's pathetic, not befitting of a Great Demon Emperor."

Luo Chen shook his head and instructed, "From now on, stay put in the cave dwelling and don't run around. If anyone takes you away, I won't be able to help you seek justice."

Black King repeatedly agreed.

As he wriggled his body and circled the spacious cave dwelling, he soon exclaimed in surprise.

"Master, the spiritual energy here is so rich!"

This reaction was somewhat expected by Luo Chen.

He Qingzi had not exaggerated.

The spiritual energy in this cave dwelling was indeed abundant, so much so that it was almost terrifying!

In his life, Luo Chen had seen countless spiritual lands, and few could compare to this place.

Even among fourth-rank spiritual lands, this one was undoubtedly the finest of the finest!

Black King even exclaimed, "If I were to slumber here for a hundred years, I would surely elevate this spiritual vein to the fifth rank!"

In reality, there was no need for him to help.

Because Cangwu Mountain itself had a fifth-rank spiritual vein!

Luo Chen walked to the cultivation room, breathing deeply, as if each breath could draw in a vast amount of pure spiritual energy.

And this was without him actively circulating his cultivation technique.

"According to He Qingzi, this cave dwelling is of the same caliber as the Deputy Palace Master's cave dwelling within the True Crossing Palace. It's hard to imagine what the main palace master's cave dwelling must be like."

"Fifth rank?"

Luo Chen chuckled, finding it amusing that even at this moment, he was still thinking about such trivial matters.

Was it that Cangwu Mountain had been too kind to him, or was it Qing Shuang's assurance of "not harming him" that made him fearless, or was it a case of the barefoot not fearing the shod?

"I'm not barefoot anymore."

Luo Chen muttered and stepped into the cultivation room.

The most urgent task was to recuperate and restore his condition to its best.

He lit a furnace of incense, swallowed a few pills, and as his cultivation technique circulated, a vast amount of heaven and earth's spiritual energy surged into him.

...

"Get out!"

"You had the guts to ambush me before, but now you don't have the guts to show your face?"

"Luo Chen, get out here!"

The deep voice rumbled like thunder, incessant.

He Qingzi's face darkened as he hurried over and shouted softly at the robust man.

"Lei Yu, what are you shouting about? Disturbing Luo Chen's rest, how will you explain this to the Palace Master?"

Lei Yu Shen Peng turned around abruptly, glaring at He Qingzi with a fierce look.

"You're so protective of him, have you taken a liking to him?"

He Qingzi blushed with embarrassment and anger, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Lei Yu sneered, "Don't bring the Human Race's Harmony Sect's ways to Cangwu Mountain. It's only because the Palace Master of the Daybreak Palace has been in seclusion and the Deputy Palace Master of the Flowing Spring has not appeared in recent years. Otherwise, with your actions over the years, you would have been plucked of your feathers, turned into a bald crane, and hung outside Cangwu Mountain for public display."

"Bastard!"

He Qingzi was furious and directly swiped with his claw.

Lei Yu Shen Peng remained unperturbed and threw a punch in response.

Boom!

As their spiritual powers collided, Lei Yu Shen Peng staggered back several steps, his face alternating between paleness and redness.

Seeing this, He Qingzi didn't get angry but instead giggled, "If your body isn't fully recovered, go catch a few insects in the mountains to eat. Don't embarrass yourself here. If you can't even beat me, how dare you provoke Luo Chen?"

Lei Yu was enraged. He hadn't eaten insects in a long time!

And!

"You dare mock my newly restored body?"

"Wait until I recover to my peak, and I'll pluck your feathers first, then deal with Luo Chen, and..."

He Qingzi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no. Even if you recover to your peak, what then? Afraid you don't know, your friend Qi Xi was defeated by Luo Chen, and Bi Zheng fled in panic. Even Huang Man's Hundred-Legged Beast was killed by Luo Chen. Now you're boasting, but when you meet the real person, your black face will turn red with embarrassment."

Lei Yu was stunned.

He had been busy restoring his body, which had been destroyed by the Nine Spirit Lord, and had no time to pay attention to external affairs.

He Qingzi's words were like a thunderclap, catching him off guard.

"Really?"

"Hmph, how could it be false? Are you underestimating the intelligence capabilities of the Cangwu Mountain's Feathered Race?"

Lei Yu subconsciously moved closer to He Qingzi, not out of affection but to distance himself from Luo Chen's cave dwelling.

He wouldn't doubt the intelligence capabilities of the Cangwu Mountain's Feathered Race.

But could this Luo Chen, a mere child, have achieved such a level? Just then, the birds watching from the sky suddenly scattered.

A dark shadow swooped down, crossing between the two and landing outside Luo Chen's cave dwelling.

The figure was graceful and curvaceous, and even from the back, one could tell it was an unparalleled beauty.

However, her true face was hidden behind a light silk scarf and a bamboo hat.

But as soon as she arrived, Huang Man and He Qingzi, who had been arguing, immediately closed their mouths.

"Get out!"

The two trembled, not daring to disobey the woman's command, and quickly retreated.

Not only that, but the birds circling outside, watching the spectacle, were also driven away by her command, not daring to come any closer.

After everything had quieted down, the woman's eyes glared venomously at the cloud-shrouded cave dwelling.

As if sensing something, a deep voice emerged from within.

"Friend Flowing Spring, please come in for a chat."

Flowing Spring gritted his teeth and let out a sharp cry.

"Alright!"
