Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 842 Naked Running?

Chen Wang approached the life essence but was unable to collect it, and he immediately frowned.

He then took out several magical artifacts for collecting liquids, such as a jade bottle and a gourd, but still found nothing.

Chen Wang's expression turned somewhat grim at this moment.
"How is this going?"

His eyebrows seemed to be furrowed into a knot, but then he suddenly remembered the small bottle that Xue Jiangbai had given him earlier, and immediately used the simplest method to press the small bottle into the bottle, which was soon filled to the brim.

Chen Wang suddenly slapped his forehead, as if realizing something.

"So it's impossible to collect it using magic weapons?"

So Chen Wang took out all his treasures and kept filling them with life essence.

After filling the containers of various sizes, Chen Wang took out a lot of refining materials and crafted several large bottles on the spot, pouring the life essence into them.

Chen Wang then discovered that the Heavenly Spring had temporarily dried up. He was somewhat bewildered, as the Heavenly Spring had stopped producing life essence.

By this time, he was so busy that he was covered in sweat and hadn't even counted how much he had packed.

Seeing that the spring water had temporarily stopped producing anything, he waited a while before leaving.

The Mirror Spirit whispered from the side, "Master, did you forget to soak me in it?"

Chen Wang's lips twitched, and he said, "It was too urgent, I didn't have time to soak you in it. It's okay, look at all the things I collected, I'll give you a good wash when we get back."

The Mirror God then laughed.

"Master is mighty!"

Chen Wang and Mirror God then quietly left the place.

They then went to Dragon and Phoenix Cliff.

Dragon and Phoenix Cliff is quite far from Heavenly Spring. They traveled for a long time, full of anxiety, before finally arriving at Dragon and Phoenix Cliff.

Indeed, the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing can be heard here, and they are very easy to recognize.

Chen Wang thought to himself, "That was close. The journey has been fraught with danger. If we had been discovered, we wouldn't have been able to collect this treasure."

The Mirror God thought for a moment and said, "Master, shouldn't we be worried about not being able to escape?"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Running away is no problem, but it would be a pity to lose this treasure. However, I feel that collecting this life essence is not enough. Xue Jiangbai said that there is innate Dao Qi in Dragon Phoenix Cliff. If I can collect a suitable one, it may help my cultivation improve rapidly."

As Chen Wang thought this, his heart began to pound wildly.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

In front of Dragon and Phoenix Cliff, there was a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged. He was sitting on a futon, dressed in a wide-sleeved robe as a Qi cultivator, and wearing a jade crown. He looked like an immortal.

Chen Wang was startled and secretly considered whether he should quietly kill him.

But the Taoist priest suddenly turned his head.

This was a young Taoist priest, with delicate features, red lips, and white teeth.

He said softly, "Something's not right."

This one sentence alone shocked both Chen Wang and Mirror God.

The Mirror God tried his best to mobilize his power to conceal Chen Wang's aura.

But the next moment, the young man suddenly raised one hand, and there was an eye in his palm. The eye searched around, but could not find the whereabouts of Chen Wang and the Mirror God.

He raised his other hand, and there was an eye on each of his hands. He immediately found Chen Wang and the Mirror God.

His technique was somewhat like the different faces formed by the eyes of a god and a demon.

Chen Wang cursed himself for his bad luck. He hadn't even had a chance to collect the innate Dao Qi before encountering this person at Dragon Phoenix Cliff.

Chen Wang shouted loudly, "Freeze him!"

Chen Wang activated the Mirror God with all his might.

A beam of white light shone out from the Mirror God, instantly freezing the young Taoist in place.

Immediately, a figure rushed past him, heading towards Dragon and Phoenix Cliff to collect the innate Dao Qi.

After rushing over, Chen Wang grabbed a piece haphazardly.

The young Taoist priest looked surprised, but quickly broke free from the mirror god's control and spat out a sword aura.

This sword energy was extremely sharp and surging, heading straight for the back of Chen Wang's head.

Chen Wang turned his head and pointed a finger, transforming the Dao of Life and Death into swords to meet the young Taoist's sword energy.

However, his sword was incredibly sharp, piercing straight through Chen Wang's arm and shredding it completely.

Chen Wang's heart sank immediately. He felt a strange power of the Great Dao eroding the Great Dao within his body.

He had previously collected a strand of innate Dao Qi, but before he could refine it, he forcibly stored it away. He was somewhat greedy and wanted to collect a second strand.

At this moment, the young Taoist priest shouted in a deep voice, "Who goes there, daring to trespass into the Great Flame Heaven!"

At this moment, the two eyes in his palm had disappeared, and he slapped them down.

A giant hand appeared, containing terrifying power to annihilate everything, until its fingers were covered with dense runes containing thunder and fire, and then it slammed down towards Chen Wang.

Chen Wang frowned, immediately realizing how formidable this person was.

The next moment, he made a quick decision, and with a thought, he disappeared from the Great Flame Sky and traveled back.

The young Taoist priest was slightly taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "The ability to traverse the void! Who could be so powerful!"

Chen Wang returned to Yunshan Academy, still feeling a lingering fear.

This young Taoist's strength was the strongest he had ever seen. Under that palm strike just now, Chen Wang's Dao of Life and Death was somewhat disordered, and he could not exert its power at all.

"Who is this? They're incredibly strong!"

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised.

However, a smile immediately appeared on his face. This time, he not only collected a large amount of life essence, but also a strand of innate Dao Qi, which made Chen Wang very happy.

However, Chen Wang had grabbed a wisp of Dao Qi haphazardly, and he didn't know what kind of Dao Qi he had collected. When he took it out to examine it, he found that this innate Dao Qi was ethereal and formless, seemingly both real and unreal.

Chen Wang tried to discern the difference but couldn't, so he went to ask Xue Jiangbai.

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiangbai was somewhat surprised: "You really have the ability to escape from the Great Yan Heaven."

Chen Wang urged, "Quickly, let's see what kind of Dao Qi this innate Dao Qi is. I can't tell."

Xue Jiangbai took a closer look and said, "The one you snatched is the Primordial Dao Qi, which is extremely mysterious and profound. Of course it's not..."

Chen Wang sighed, "It's a pity it's not the Dao Qi of Gods and Demons or the Dao Qi of Life and Death, otherwise my cultivation would definitely have increased dramatically."

Xue Jiangbai said, "Under those circumstances, it's already quite remarkable that you managed to snatch one. Moreover, having obtained the Primordial Dao Qi, your future cultivation of the Taiyin Dao will be smooth sailing. Isn't that wonderful?"

Chen Wang said, "That's true, but it's a pity that an opportunity was wasted. Nobody knew that kid was so amazing."

Chen Wang was still somewhat shaken.

Xue Jiangbai said, "The person you're talking about has an eye in each palm?" Chen Wang nodded.
"Yes, you recognize him?"

Xue Jiangbai said, "I don't know how to describe your luck that you were able to escape from him."

Chen Wang said in surprise, "It can't be that outrageous, can it? He may be strong, but I... I'm not bad either."

Chen Wang originally wanted to say that he was on par with him, but after thinking about it, he realized that the Taoist's attacks were extremely domineering, and he was no match for him. He could be killed by him in one move, which seemed absurd.

Xue Jiangbai said, "That Taoist is called Qingxuan Taoist. He comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao when he was in the Integration stage. He cultivates the Pure Yang Great Dao. Under the Pure Yang, all things can be transformed, and the power is extremely strong. Back then, he was in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending stage. Now, I don't know if he has crossed that threshold. No, he should not have crossed it. Otherwise, you would not have been able to escape."

Chen Wang was somewhat moved: "Qingxuan Daoist, the Pure Yang Dao, this kid really has some skills."

Xue Jiangbai spoke highly of this person, and then said earnestly, "Be careful when you encounter this person in the future. His Pure Yang Dao is truly domineering and infinitely powerful."

Chen Wang sighed and said, "I have already seen it."

After accepting the bottle of life essence from Chen Wang, Xue Jiangbai said, "You're really capable; you even managed to get your hands on the life essence."

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is the spring water temporarily dried up, or is it permanent or temporary?"

Xue Jiangbai asked in confusion, "Then how could the spring water have dried up?"

Then his expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "How much did you take?"

Chen Wang honestly replied, "I don't know either, I haven't calculated it."

Xue Jiangbai looked at the small bottle of life essence in his hand and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Then he said, "Chen Wang, aren't we good brothers?"

Chen Wang shook his head: "Of course not."

Xue Jiangbai: "..."

Chen Wang was extremely stingy; he had promised Xue Jiangbai a bottle of wine.

Xue Jiangbai wanted to ask for more, but he couldn't.

He pleaded and begged, but to no avail, so he had to give up for the time being.

Anyway, if we stay with Chen Wang, we'll eventually have a chance to get out; we just need to figure out the right way.

Xue Jiangbai actually admired Chen Wang's methods quite a bit.
What a master thief! He even stole from the Great Flame Heaven!

……

On the other side, in the blazing heat of summer.

Previously, it was Qingxuan Daoist who made contributions to the Great Flame Heaven by deciphering an ancient method, which allowed the Lord of the Great Flame Heaven to comprehend it in front of the Dragon and Phoenix Cliff. If he could draw out a certain kind of Dao Qi, he could collect it.

This was something to be envied, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at this time. Someone broke into the Great Flame Heaven and stole a strand of innate Dao Qi.

When this news spread, those who were jealous of Qingxuan Daoist immediately began to criticize him.
"Could it be that you yourself felt it wasn't enough and are saying this on purpose?"

Qingxuan Daoist said in a deep voice, "What I said is not false. This person has extremely high cultivation and is proficient in the Great Dao of Void. He disappeared into thin air in front of me, and I did not keep him."

Upon hearing this, a Taoist priest in red revealed a mocking expression.
"Qingxuan, you're getting more and more outrageous. This is the Great Yan Heaven, do you think it's some ordinary world? The Great Dao of Void? If he can use the Great Dao of Void right under your nose, I'll just run naked around the Great Yan Heaven!"

Qingxuan Daoist and he were at odds. This red-robed Daoist was called Canglong Daoist. He wore a bright red Daoist robe and had a handsome face that was neither male nor female.

The Yin Dao he cultivated was directly opposed to the Pure Yang Dao, so he and Qingxuan Daoist not only had incompatible personalities, but their Daos were also naturally opposed.

Qingxuan Daoist said, "Streaking? You really dare to think that way. Don't offend the eyes of these fairies."

Hidden Dragon Taoist's expression changed, and he angrily asked, "What did you say?"

Qingxuan Daoist said, "You've already heard what I said. You've never been my match. Do I have to teach you another lesson now?"

Hidden Dragon Taoist's expression changed: "You have committed a grave crime, and not only do you try to evade responsibility here, but you also dare to act violently towards me?"

Qingxuan Daoist's face was full of mockery: "Canglong, I told you long ago, don't just talk the talk. Do you think Fairy Caifeng will take a liking to you with all this babbling and whining?"

The Hidden Dragon Taoist was in love with a woman in the Great Yan Heaven. This woman was called Fairy Caifeng. She was very low-key and did not compete with the world, but she was very beautiful.

The Hidden Dragon Taoist showered her with attention, but the Fairy of the Colorful Phoenix ignored him, which became an obsession in his heart.

At this moment, when Qingxuan Daoist pointed out this matter, Canglong Daoist's expression changed drastically, and he was about to take action.

But someone immediately stopped him.

"Canglong, you can't beat him anyway, why go up there and get beaten up?"

"Don't stop Canglong. I'd like to see if Qingxuan Daoist has improved."

The crowd started talking all at once, leaving the Hidden Dragon Taoist speechless.

At this moment, a Qi cultivator dressed in a wide-sleeved robe walked over. He had a golden belt around his waist, walked with a powerful stride, and was very tall and strong.

Upon seeing him, everyone bowed and said, "Brother Xuanji."

Master Xuanji nodded and asked, "What happened?"

Qingxuan Daoist recounted what had just happened.

Master Xuanji nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Canglong said loudly, "Brother Xuanji, you cannot protect him. He is clearly embezzling and falsely claiming that such a person exists."

Xuanji Daoist shook his head: "No, when I went to Tianquan earlier, I found that the water in Tianquan had been stolen."

Everyone was immediately taken aback!
Hidden Dragon Taoist's face flushed red, and his breathing became rapid. He thought to himself:
"What? The Heavenly Spring Water has been stolen? That essence of life is a treasure! I've always wanted to steal some. Who the hell is so shameless as to steal it all!"

Master Qingxuan sighed: "This matter has come to this point, and it's not something you or I can easily judge. We need to report it to higher authorities."

Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn. The thought that such a mysterious figure could steal the Heavenly Spring Water and seize the innate Dao Qi of Dragon and Phoenix Cliff without a sound made them all somewhat alarmed.

If someone can come and go without a trace, doesn't that mean he can kill whoever he wants?
At this moment, a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone. They were unsure of the mysterious person's strength and couldn't help but worry.

At this moment, Qingxuan Daoist suddenly said, "Canglong, don't forget what you just said: if someone really steals the innate Dao Qi, you should run naked around the Great Yan Heaven. Let's start now."

Hidden Dragon Taoist's face immediately turned red, and he pointed at Qingxuan Taoist for a long time without being able to speak.

Qingxuan Daoist said, "What's wrong? Take it off. You can take it off slowly, I want to see how well you've been eating these past few years, and whether you've developed properly." Canglong Daoist: "..."

At this moment, none of the experts from the Great Flame Heaven around them came out to resolve the situation, not even the very serious Xuanji Daoist.

Xuanji Daoist also watched coldly as Canglong Daoist observed.

Hidden Dragon Taoist said, "Brother Xuanji, you must stand up for me."

The Taoist Master Xuanji said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter impartially for you."

Hidden Dragon Daoist breathed a sigh of relief.

The Taoist Master Xuanji said, "He only said he wanted to run naked, he didn't say how fast or slow he would go, so we can't argue with that."

Then, they looked at the Hidden Dragon Taoist and said, "Let's begin."

Hidden Dragon Taoist: "..."
