Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 723 Re-entering the Alienated Fog Land! (Two Chapters Combined)

In contrast, Song Changming was still more focused on his own cultivation progress.

As I said before, even if you become the team leader, your own strength is the only true measure of success.

If you're not strong enough, nothing you say will matter.

Soon, he focused on the supernatural power he had acquired.

Finally, after another ten days or so, the entry-level experience value for that supernatural ability on the panel finally broke through from zero and increased a little.

This excited Song Changming, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this kind of closed-door approach to learning was far too inefficient.

It took almost half a month to accumulate a little bit of supernatural experience points.

And this is only the difficulty of getting started. The more difficult levels of mastery, minor success, and major success are even harder to break through. Who knows when or how long it will take to achieve them?

"It's likely that it will take over a hundred years before Japan can hope to achieve perfection in this area."

Based on his past experience with liver skills, Song Changming made a rough estimate and couldn't help but shake his head.

A hundred years is still too long for him, after all, his total cultivation time is not even four hundred years. Now he has to devote most of his energy to this supernatural power, which is something he has never done before.

But then he thought again, Song Changming knew that many great immortals and gods only knew one supernatural ability in their entire lives. They just focused on practicing it to the extreme, and it became their signature skill, enough to make them invincible in the world.

Even in the Celestial Court, where powerful figures abound, they can still secure a place for themselves.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps for other immortals, taking a hundred years or so to perfect a single supernatural power is already an extremely fast pace.

Right now, it's just that Song Changming himself hasn't adapted to the time scale of immortal cultivation.

With a flick of his wrist, the soul banner appeared, and Song Changming pulled out the black monkey demon soul from inside.

"Spare your life, spare your life"

The black monkey immediately begged for mercy as soon as it appeared.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to talk to you about supernatural powers," Song Changming said with a slight smile.

"You've mastered it?" The black monkey was taken aback and asked instinctively.

"Not yet, so let's see if you can still help me. After all, my soul banner doesn't keep idle souls," Song Changming threatened casually.

In the end, the black monkey compromised and began to instruct Song Changming.

With the help of the Black Monkey Demon Soul, it did have a certain effect, and the time it took Song Changming to gain some supernatural power experience was significantly shortened by several days compared to before.

Clearly, the panel acknowledged the black monkey's guidance and improved Song Changming's cultivation efficiency.

Above and below the sky, the sun and moon alternate, year after year.

Song Changming's days in the Celestial Court passed quickly, and ten years went by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the floating city ten thousand meters above the Penglai Sea.

Several heavenly soldiers stood atop the city wall, holding long halberds, and conversed with each other.

“In another month or so, it should be time for the shift change,” one of the heavenly soldiers said.

“Yes, this immortal city is leisurely, but it gets boring after a while. Moreover, cultivating here is far inferior to cultivating in the immortal mountains of the outer heavens,” another heavenly soldier said, shaking his head.

"I think this place is great. I can enjoy tea and discuss Taoism with other wandering immortals, and I can also go to the ancient ruins to hunt for treasures at any time. The key is that this job is very simple and there is no danger." The third heavenly soldier said with a smile.

"What's the point of discussing Dao with those rogue immortals? It's better to have our team leader give us a few pointers. The only interesting thing is the Ancient Ruins Treasure Hunt, but the probability of finding good items is too low, and even if we do, we don't have enough Immortal Nourishing Pills to bid on them."

"Boring, so boring."

"By the way, we haven't seen the team leader for the past few days. Has he left Immortal City?"

"Perhaps. As the team leader, I am certainly much freer than you and me. Anyway, nothing will happen while I am on guard here. If I want to leave the Immortal City, I only need to report to General Qingquan."

"That's true. General Qingquan has been very kind to our team leader over the years."

"That's right. Our team leader is a ruthless person with the talent of the eighth level of immortality. His path to immortality is limitless. I heard that he is also very strong. Even those veteran team leaders are no match for our team leader."

"Eightfold immortal talent, tsk tsk."

Along the coast of Penglai, a thick fog has lingered for thousands of years without showing any signs of dissipating.

On the beach, an old turtle was sunbathing with a group of baby turtles, oblivious to the swirling fog in the distance.

There seemed to be an invisible wall between the thick fog and the beach, completely blocking out the fog.

No matter how much the fog surged, it couldn't reach the beach or this Penglai Sea.

Several large birds circled high in the sky, occasionally swooping down to snatch the small turtle from the reef.

The old tortoise kept spraying water to block and protect its offspring, while it fought incessantly with the large birds.

Suddenly, several figures appeared on the edge of the Penglai Sea.

The large bird seemed startled and, without bothering to deal with the old tortoise below, hurriedly flew away.

The old tortoise also keenly sensed the fluctuations of immortal power among those figures, knowing that immortals had visited this place. Immediately after gathering its tortoise offspring, it bowed its head and showed weakness.

"Greetings, Great Immortal!" The old tortoise was filled with trepidation.

Such immortals of unknown origin are extremely difficult to predict in terms of temperament. If the other party acts rudely and has taken a liking to his spiritual tortoise that has cultivated for thousands of years, then he is likely to be in grave danger today.

Although he had some skill, he was no match for the immortals.

"You old tortoise, do you still remember me?"

A voice came down, and the old tortoise was a little confused. He mustered up his courage and raised his head to look. After thinking for a moment, he recognized the figures.

"It's you!"

These people were none other than Song Changming and his group whom they had met before, including Tang Kecha and the other two, who were now with Song Changming.

I still remember when they first came to Penglai Sea, they asked this old turtle for directions and learned about the situation of Penglai Sea. Finally, they found the Peach Blossom Island where immortal fruits grew.

"You, you've really become an immortal?!"

The old tortoise clearly remembered these people as well.

He never imagined that in just over a decade, one of them would have already entered the realm of immortals, transcended the tribulation, and become an immortal.

Only then did he belatedly realize that there might really be immortal fruits in the Penglai Sea.

He still remembered that these people had come here in search of immortal fruits.

Now that Song Changming has become an immortal, he can't help but think back to what happened back then.

Tang Kecha, who was standing to the side, wanted to say that his master had not only become an immortal, but had also gone to the Celestial Court to become a celestial official, which was far beyond what ordinary wandering immortals could compare to.

Of course, it's not his place to say that.

"Let me ask you, has the fog here changed in the past ten years or so?" Song Changming landed, not saying much about his ascension to immortality, and directly asked about the fog not far away.

This old tortoise has lived near the Penglai coast for more than ten years and can be considered a long-time resident of the area.

“That fog has always been the same, without any changes,” the old tortoise immediately said.

Back when Song Changming was still a celestial being, he had been thoroughly beaten by Song Changming. Now, facing Song Changming, who had already become a celestial being, he dared not hide anything. "Hmm." Song Changming nodded, his gaze falling on the thick fog not far away.

I came here specifically to try and resolve the source of this fog mutation.

Now that he has become an immortal, he has a deeper understanding of the Great Dao and a more profound insight into all things in the world.

Returning this time, he had a different perspective on the thick fog before him.

The thick fog floats and churns, yet it will never be dispersed, like a giant beast formed from the fog lying here, never leaving no matter the wind or rain.

In fact, this fog, as the source of the mutation, was indeed like a giant beast with its own consciousness, existing right before Song Changming's eyes.

After just one glance, Song Changming's expression turned serious.

"You stay here," Song Changming said to Tang Kecha and the other two, then walked alone into the thick fog.

He tried to reach out and touch the invisible barrier, and a ripple of space appeared at his fingertips.

This is a spatial wall, seemingly designed specifically to isolate these sources of alienation and prevent the fog from further polluting the Penglai sea area.

As for who laid it down, he had no way of knowing, but it certainly couldn't have been formed naturally.

As for the principle behind the spatial wall, it doesn't resemble a magic array; it's more like it's constructed using some kind of spatial magic or supernatural power.

Song Changming looked again and again with his spatial eye and came to this conclusion.

At the same time, he also realized that he was not capable of breaking through the spatial wall set up by the other party at this moment, but that did not prevent him from doing what he wanted to do today.

He stepped over the spatial wall and into the thick fog.

This spatial wall would only block out the thick fog and would not interfere with anything else; Song Changming already knew this beforehand.

Song Changming took only a few steps, then looked back and found that the path he had come from was gone.

The spatial wall, the beach, the old turtle, and Tang Kecha were nowhere to be seen.

He remained calm and continued walking.

The scattered immortal energy emanating from his body was like the most irresistible bait, causing the turmoil within the thick fog to intensify.

then.

One after another, the extraterrestrial beasts that had once brought a great calamity to the land of Kyushu reappeared before Song Changming's eyes.

Of course, the so-called extraterrestrial monsters now appear to be nothing more than the mutated mist spirits of this great fog.

After seeing the demons, Song Changming realized that these mutated mist spirits had absolutely nothing to do with the so-called demons.

The demons are demonic cultivators, but these mist spirits are not.

Back when I first encountered this extraterrestrial beast in the Nine Provinces, I was filled with shock and fear, and I was infected by the despair in those ancient images.

Then, he arrived at the Primordial Continent. Before becoming an immortal, he encountered this mutated mist spirit. Although he could not kill the mist spirit, he was still able to protect himself.

Furthermore, after becoming an immortal today, upon seeing this mutated mist spirit again, his heart remained completely unmoved.

With a wave of his hand, seventy-two array flags and thirty-six flying knives were unleashed, forming the Great Evolution Five Elements Knife Array around him, which was the main offensive formation.

This is a tenth-order rune array, which he revealed once during the war between immortals and demons. It is also his most prized rune array creation at the moment.

Maintained by the power of true immortals, this great formation immediately began to annihilate the mist spirits that showed themselves as soon as it appeared.

These ordinary mist spirits can easily kill beings who have not yet become immortals and do not possess immortal-level combat power.

However, they were powerless against Song Changming, who had now become an immortal.

Song Changming continued walking, the thirty-six throwing knives around him spinning wildly, sometimes appearing as fire knives, sometimes as wooden knives, water knives, and even thunder knives.

With these flying knives swirling around him, no mist spirit could truly get close to him.

The mist spirits that he shattered with his flying knives turned into a cloud of mist and merged back into the thick fog.

Conventional methods are simply ineffective in truly killing these mist spirits; even if they are blasted into pieces, they can reassemble themselves within the thick fog.

This was also a tricky point for Song Changming at the time.

Knowing that the mist spirits were invincible, Song Changming simply ignored them. No matter how the fog surged and churned, he resolutely headed towards a certain direction within the fog.

His eyes shone with a divine light, unaffected by the thick fog.

His strides grew longer and longer. He still seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, but each step covered hundreds of meters, and a few steps covered a mile, as if he had shrunk the earth to an inch.

In a short while, more and more mist spirits gathered along the way, rushing towards Song Changming one after another.

Fortunately, Song Changming's sword formation was strong enough and powerful enough to hold off these fanatical mist spirits.

Song Changming's talisman array could not kill these mist spirits, and no matter how many mist spirits there were, they could not break through Song Changming's sword array maintained by the power of a true immortal.

After walking for a while, Song Changming suddenly stopped and stared at a red pearl floating in the thick fog in front of him.

"We couldn't find it back then, but this is probably the real source of the mutation now," Song Changming muttered to himself, staring at the red orb.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that a large amount of mist is entering and exiting the red pearl, merging into the surrounding environment.

Shortly after Song Changming discovered the red pearl, the thick fog surrounding it was suddenly agitated as if boiling water had been stirred.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, enormous and towering mist spirits appeared, their eerie appearances even more unsettling than those of ordinary mist spirits.

"Don't you want me to get any closer?" Song Changming murmured.

As soon as the enormous mist spirit appeared, it charged straight at him.

The other person was as tall as a mountain. In one step, he was already close by. He bent down and raised his hand, intending to grab Song Changming directly.

The throwing knife landed on the mist spirit's large hand, but could no longer cut easily. Instead, the throwing knife was swept away by these enormous mist spirits.

Upon seeing this, Song Changming immediately retrieved the throwing knife, and a fan emitting a precious light appeared in his hand.

The fan is about half a person's height, shaped like a banana leaf, and has a blue and white color scheme, giving it a solid feel.

This Wind Spirit Fan is a top-grade magic weapon, which he obtained from the Northern Military Prefecture using his immortal skills.

Now, he wanted to test whether the thick fog could be dispersed by his magical fan.

He swung his fan fiercely at those enormous mist spirits.

The triple celestial gale swept out instantly.

The next moment, the movements of those huge mist spirits became sluggish, and the mist on their bodies began to dissipate under the force of the celestial wind.

The dense fog that was constantly approaching from all sides was also dispersed by the fierce wind.

Meanwhile, Song Changming had already launched his fan a second time.

Sixfold Heavenly Gale!
There are thirty-three heavens, each with its own celestial winds and fierce energy, and each one stronger than the last.

The biggest selling point of this Wind Spirit Fan is its ability to generate layers of celestial winds!
