After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 154 Chance Encounter
Just as they were about to swing their swords, they noticed that Shen Suiren was covered in injuries. Their gazes immediately swept to the storage bag hanging on her body, but they couldn't see the invisibility ring.

"High-grade goods; the robe can even reflect my divine sense back."

"Female cultivator, it's a pity we're in the Fire Secluded Land, so we can't show her any tenderness."

Her spiritual power is truly wasted.

"First check if she's completely dead. This storage bag is mine, her bracelet is separate, and you can sell her body to a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect."

"Whether she's dead or not, we'll see her off. The storage bags will be redistributed separately."

“That storage bag must belong to her; you can’t keep it all.”

"Only by killing her can she be ours."

The two were equally swift and decisive, immediately raising their spirit swords, one red and one gold, about to strike them.

Shen Suiren finally gathered his spiritual power and shot it out, bombarding the two of them with a barrage of fire talismans.

Two screams were drowned out by the sound of the explosion, but the huge booming effect shook the restrictions of the secret realm, and several sparking holes were blown open in the air before merging back together.

"Two early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators wasting so many fire talismans," the Little Fox King complained as Shen Suiren destroyed the body and put away several storage bags.

"We must strike decisively." Shen Suiren was barely holding on to annihilate them. Fortunately, his soul and dantian were well protected when he passed through the spatial rift, and he was not injured.

A single external injury will heal quickly with the help of medicinal pills.

She sensed with her divine sense that there were seven or eight people flying towards her from more than ten miles away.

The divine sense of a Core Formation stage cultivator is indeed useful; with cultivation, she wouldn't need to drag herself along, heavily injured, to set up an array and hide.

The group arrived quickly, and after searching for a while, they only found fire talismans and sword marks. Seeing that there were no treasures around, they turned around and left.

"Are they the same as the humans of the Dragon Land?" The Little Fox King was confused, but the robes of these people were indeed different from those of the Taiyuan Realm.

Shen Suiren slowly cleaned her wounds within the Void Array, without using her divine sense to see who had left.

"Let's check their storage bags later." She glanced at the communication jade again, but still no reply from her teammates.

The cultivator who had just flown away suddenly turned back and scanned the surrounding area again with his divine sense. Finding nothing, he then left.

Their actions did not affect Shen Suiren's healing. As the sun set and the moon came, her injuries were almost completely healed.

The Little Fox King tried many methods, but could not escape the spirit beast ring: "This is strange, this secret realm actually has the ability to imprison space."

"Is it possible that your cultivation level is higher than the limit of the secret realm?"

"Then, Wu Wan from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect sent a message. Their group was injured and landed, but they were rescued by his spirit beast, the Flamebird." Shen Suiren pressed the communication jade to his forehead and shared the message with her.

The two, one human and one fox, soon received messages from their teammates that everyone was still alive and recovering from their injuries.

Some individuals, like Shen Suiren, encountered cultivators and found local jade slips in the storage bags they seized.

The consensus was that the cultivators here were somewhat weak, and they had very few magical treasures.

They have already obtained a map of the entire territory and agreed to meet at a specific location at an inauspicious time.

This place is a secret realm of fire veins where the demonic sects of the spirit world exile cultivators. The volcano erupts year-round, and apart from fire-type ores, there are very few spiritual plants.

Occasionally, cultivators would descend to this place to train and search for treasures.

"Without demonic beasts, the cultivators of the demonic sects fight each other even more fiercely over treasures."

"How far is the Demonic Realm from the Spirit Realm? Is it where trainees are kicked to the Spirit Realm at a certain time? Are we going to take a trip to the Spirit Realm?"

Could it be like the Beihai No. 4, originally belonging to the Taiyuan Realm? After reading all the information, the Little Fox King urged her to open the two demonic cultivator storage bags.

"Secret realms are not necessarily all in the Taiyuan Realm."

Before becoming the Spirit Realm, the Xuanhuang Realm also had a solid foundation.

We need to find some information and research whether what happens after leaving the secret place is the spirit world or another otherworldly continent.

However, if anyone could travel from Guixu to here and then to the Spirit Realm, Lianqiao Que San probably wouldn't wait indefinitely for the Northern Profound Secret Realm. Shen Suiren opened his storage bag; indeed, there were very few items inside.

Aside from the cultivation techniques, the jade slips contained an introduction to this continent called Fire Cloud Continent.

After pondering it over several times, she said, "It is very likely that this Fire Separation Secret Land is a fragment of Furnace Mountain, which was artificially melted into the Demonic Sect's Exile Secret Land."

Only by seeing the volcano can I compare the painting to determine if it is correct.

But I can hardly believe how easily it was found.

"Be bold and believe that the positioning bracelets on your wrists are said to be made entirely from magma stones from beneath the fiery veins of Lushan Mountain."

"It was your Ancestor Wu who had a stone house in the Great Buddha Temple demolished and found it underground." The Little Fox King was incredibly well-informed, even though he was in the Great Buddha Temple.

Shen Suiren was full of admiration. "According to whom?"

Without hesitation, the Little Fox King said, "I overheard it when Lord Cen Che was talking to the two monks."

"You get some sleep, I'll keep watch. We'll meet at the volcano where the strange fires flew to at 1-3 AM, and we have to leave by 11 PM."

Shen Suiren did not refuse. She fell asleep in a second and woke up at midnight. There was a pile of top-grade pills, and her internal injuries had almost healed.

She scanned the area within a hundred miles with her divine sense, but saw no one moving around.

He quickly put away the array flags and array plates, changed into demonic cultivator clothes, adjusted his shape-changing sticker to disguise himself as a male cultivator, and released the bird feather to fly towards the volcanic area.

The reason she doesn't use flying swords or flying boats is that she wastes both of them.

As we approached the volcano, suddenly another moon appeared in the sky that had previously only had one.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen people swooped down from the newly reappeared moon.

Shen Suiren realized it was too late to hide herself now. She quickened her pace and fled several miles away before the cultivators who had flown down from the moon could surround her.

A dozen or so cultivators, all at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, split into four to chase after her with a wave of their hand from their captain.

While chasing, they called out, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! We have just entered the Fire Secluded Land and would like to ask you to be our guide."

The reward is a bottle of top-grade Nourishing Essence Pills.

"I just got here too, I'm not familiar with the place." If it weren't for the four of them chasing after him from behind in a semi-encircling manner, Shen Suiren would have believed them a little.

As she spoke, she increased her speed to the maximum, leaving the four people behind her far behind.

They sent a message to the captain, who considered it briefly and said, "Forget it, he probably won't dare to make a fuss."

We headed to the mission location immediately.

The group arrived quickly and left quickly, but the captain didn't notice that one of the team members glanced deeply in the direction Shen Suiren flew away.

She overheard the telepathic message during her flight and nearly tripped, exclaiming, "The Purple Lotus Dragon King?"

Dragon King Ao Zitang directly ordered: "Follow me. I'm temporarily possessing someone else, so my voice transmission won't go very far. How is Ao Jian? I've heard that the spiritual energy in the Taiyuan Realm has been very active in recent years."

"The Little Dragon King knows that you went to the Spirit Realm to find your original body, and that he is doing well."

"The Taiyuan Realm has recovered another place, and now..." Shen Suiren didn't know how far her divine sense could travel, so he could only follow her invisibly for a while before saying anything more.

When Ao Zitang heard that she was looking for Lushan, she said, "Two hundred miles in the direction you are going, there are several volcanoes and sulfur pools, which belong to the former Lushan."

The Vermilion Bird Cauldron is probably not there; searching for it is pointless.

Shen Suiren remained noncommittal. With the fragments of the Furnace Mountain already showing promise, how far behind could the Vermilion Bird Cauldron be? "Senior, my strange fire and teammates are still in the volcano. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Do you see any way to break away from the group so we can exchange messages?"

Ao Zitang asked with a smile, "Aren't you curious about where these people came from and how they left?"
You should know that since you came from the Ruins of Return, it's virtually impossible for you to return the same way you came.

Shen Suiren pondered for a moment: "You asked me to come along, not to wipe out this group of cultivators and then take their place and leave, right?"

"Indeed, no task is more important than life."

Rather than struggling to find a way out at the last minute, it's better to find a way out first.

The Blazing Realm only recognizes tokens, not people.

"If we get out as soon as possible, we can still catch the opening of the Northern Mystic Realm and return to the Taiyuan Realm." Ao Zitang didn't believe she wasn't tempted.

Shen Suiren was naturally tempted. "They came down with a mission, so there must be high-ranking guards at the entrance, right?"

"Kill a few, and I will modify the memories of the rest so that I can take you out as rogue cultivators."

"The disciples recognized by the Mahayana practitioners of the Taiyuan Sect are not likely to know you." The Dragon King spoke with utmost ease.

Shen Suiren, however, knew perfectly well what conditions were required for the Dragon King to show me the way.

The Dragon King was ruthless in his dealings with the people, saying, "Sure, follow this group of cultivators to the sea eye and break the restrictions they're trying to strengthen."

"Which dragon are you going to save this time?" Shen Suiren immediately guessed that she was unaware that the Dragon King's true form was also trapped in the dragon's eye.

The place that is connected to this place requires breaking the restrictions of the Blazing Fire Secret Realm before the Dragon King's true form can have room to move.

Ao Zitang would not explain it to her in detail, but only told her to find helpers to follow along.

Shen Sui-ren disagreed, so the content of the message was slightly changed.

Meanwhile, less than half of Juexing and his group had reached the volcano.

They were greatly surprised to learn that Sui Chu had encountered the Purple Dragon King by chance. When they heard that she was going to explore the sea eye and asked them to split into groups to search for the cauldron, they discussed it and firmly disagreed that Sui Chu should go alone.

So Nie Chengzhang, Juexing, Niaoniao, and Cheng Zhishun formed a team to chase after them, while the rest of the group waited for their teammates to gather before searching for the cauldron in several volcanoes.

Shen Suiren's strange fire was also ordered by Juexing and Cheng Zhishun to be forcibly driven out of the volcano to find its master.

The entire secret realm was enormous, and it was astonishing that there were no monsters there.

Only at the seaside can you see fish, but they are merely ordinary fish without any spirit.

Shen Suiren followed along, occasionally communicating with the Dragon King telepathically, and thus learned that the Li Huo Secret Realm itself was a place of exile.

Furthermore, very few people come out at night because of the sparks that occasionally burst open in the sky, which widen in the latter half of the night.

That's the kind of thing that could accidentally send someone into a volcano to become its nutrients.

With the Taiyuan Sect cultivators leading the way, she walked without much effort, but the four people behind her, including Juexing, had a bit of a hard time.

I would occasionally get burned by the large crater, but luckily I had encountered it a few times before when flying over volcanoes, so I could avoid it by being more careful and getting burned a few more times.

By the time they chased them all the way to the sea, it was already broad daylight, and there were monks fishing in boats on the sea.

Looking out over the horizon, Cheng Zhishun could no longer see the beginning of the year. He flew out to sea on his sword to look around, but his body and sword fell into the sea uncontrollably. The more he struggled, the lower he fell into the sea.

He struggled to swim to the surface, pleading, "Juexing, please help."

Some of the monks who were fishing watched with a smile.

It was Niao Niao who reacted quickly, releasing a flying boat that landed in the water. She and Jue Xing then used the two bamboo poles in their rings to paddle and pull him out.

As soon as Nie Chengzhang stepped into the sea, he felt as if he were being sucked in. Juexing grabbed him and pulled him back, saying, "It's a spirit-suppressing spell."

He said, "I haven't sent any messages since I went to sea at the beginning of the year, and that's probably why."

"Without spiritual power to activate the water-repelling pearl, cultivators cannot descend to the seabed."

"Let's go, buy those fishing boats over there, and ask them how to get them into the water." Cheng Zhishun grabbed a swaying bamboo pole and rowed with all his might.

Not long ago, Shen Suiren followed the Dragon King's guidance and caught up with them. He was instantly sucked into a hot, enclosed space on the seabed, and inevitably, he was discovered by the group of cultivators.

The captain immediately laughed and said, "They've delivered themselves to our doorstep; even the most powerful magic weapon can't fly away from here."

With a wave of his hand, five cultivators surrounded him, well-versed in the secrets of using numbers to overcome the odds in an encirclement attack.

Before they could get close, Shen Suiren spun the Star Moon Wheel into seven and shot them toward them.

At the same time, he gripped the deadly sword and slashed horizontally, drawing upon the fire elemental energy of the area. A burst of red light struck the cultivator who had dodged the Star Moon Wheel.

A few streaks of blood splattered out.

bang bang bang

The captain saw that as soon as the five men engaged in combat, two and a half of them were knocked down by the enemy. They were not dead, but their knife wounds were deep in the bone.

Such cultivators who can harness external spiritual energy for their own use are extremely rare. Generally, swords and sabers consume one's own spiritual energy, but the opponent does not.

Little did he know that during the few days that Shen Suiren stabilized his cultivation after forming his core, he gained a new understanding of swordsmanship and used it even more freely.

He was impressed by the cultivator's refined swordsmanship and dared not be careless.

He immediately led his team members to swarm forward. "You think you can fight? We'll unleash a barrage of different spells from all directions. Let's see if you can withstand it."

Shen Suiren had anticipated this. The moment he withdrew the Star Moon Wheel that had launched the surprise attack, a piece of translucent white jade bone was refined into a Bagua disc about an inch long. It flew to the top of his head and immediately emitted a five-colored light to protect his body.

She herself controlled the deadly blade outside the protective barrier, focusing her attacks on the captain.

However, the opponent's defensive shield was extremely strong, and after three failed attempts to break through it with her sword, she immediately switched targets.

"Five-Colored Divine Light?" The captain watched as Shen Suiren's protective light shield remained unbroken despite being surrounded for several breaths. Instead, his own team members were forced back several steps by her lightning-fast blade light.

But he didn't tell his team to stop. Instead, he continued fighting while asking, "Were you sent by the Great Wilderness Demon Clan?"

"Otherwise, do you think anyone can use high-grade jade bones to forge such power?" Shen Suiren naturally didn't use the jade ruyi that Lianqiao had.

Instead, it was a defensive magic treasure crafted by Ancestor Wu using her own jade bones. No magic treasure of higher rank could break through it.

I ask you, among the dozen or so cultivators opposite, which of their Mahayana stage elders would take their own bones to refine a magic weapon for their descendants?

Amidst the continuous flashes of swords and the barrage of spells and talismans, the five-colored light shield remained completely unmoved.

Shen Suiren, however, could use hand seals to control the deadly blade with his divine sense to defeat them one by one, and in just half a cup of tea's time, he injured three more people.

The dozen or so cultivators were a little angry and intensified their attacks.

At this moment, a female cultivator possessed by the Dragon King was the first to stop and flash to the captain's side, saying, "Why waste time with someone of unknown identity?"

"Senior, our mission is urgent. Leave one or two people to confront her; completing the mission quickly is the priority."

She glanced at the group of people who were healing their wounds not far away, and said again, "I'm willing to stay."

"Alright, you can have the two most seriously injured." The captain knew that he couldn't just keep going without getting several injured before they even got started.

With a wave of his hand, the team members stopped attacking, glanced at Shen Suiren with resentment, and quickly left with their captain.

The two seriously wounded were still healing inside the defensive talisman when the female cultivator and Shen Suiren exchanged a glance and then simultaneously leaped up to kill them.

One of them, in a moment of panic, resisted and even set off fireworks to signal for help.

Unfortunately, he was frozen by Shen Suiren's ice talisman, and the man died on the spot.
