Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 366 Returning to the Sea of ​​Compassion: An Encounter with a Mirage (4K)

Although Chen Fan's idea is not easy to realize.

But to be fair, his suggestion is indeed quite interesting.

Given the current state of the new cultivation world, if the Heavenly Star Secret Technique can truly spread, it could indeed change the fate of many people.

This is a great deed that involves accumulating good karma.

However, this method has another problem.

That means that even Heaven-level cultivation techniques have thresholds.

Not all cultivators in the wasteland can sense the power of the stars and enter the path as easily as Chen Fan.

Based on normal circumstances, this secret technique would be disseminated to ten thousand cultivators.

It's highly likely that no more than a hundred people will be able to get the basics down within six months, and no more than ten will be able to continue cultivating to the later stages without relying on spiritual objects.

"I understand your thinking; you genuinely mean well."

Xiao Chen explained, "But that's just how things are. Whether it's because of the Holy City or because of individual differences in aptitude, your idea won't benefit more cultivators."

"In the end, the best outcome is just that it makes it easier for a small number of talented cultivators to stand out."

"But a bright tomorrow is probably still a long way off."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan was first taken aback, and then an undisguised disappointment appeared on his face.

He's been thinking a lot these past few days, but he hasn't realized these two major issues.

The former cannot be blamed, since most of the cultivators in the wasteland were completely unaware of the Holy City's alteration of history books and rarely discussed it.

As for the latter.

It's simply that he's projecting his own experience onto others, or rather, judging others by his own standards, forgetting that people are not all the same.

"I'm sorry, Senior Xiao."

After calming down, Chen Fan immediately apologized: "It was my own mistake; I didn't think things through."

That's true. If it were really that easy, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

The seniors must have already implemented this.

In his eyes, the so-called Heavenly Star Sect was just an excuse. This "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Gan Ling Secret Technique" must have been a secret technique that the Anti-Immortal Alliance had painstakingly researched and used to overthrow the Holy City.

The reason it hasn't been widely promoted yet must be due to some underlying reasons.

He should have thought of this sooner.

At the same time, Chen Fan also realized that Senior Xiao had chosen him from among a large number of independent cultivators to train, probably because he wanted to find a suitable person to cultivate this technique.

Since it cannot benefit everyone at the same time, it may also attract suppression.

Then let's secretly accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity.

He understands now; he has fully grasped the good intentions of all the seniors!

"are you OK?"

Xiao Chen noticed that Chen Fan's expression changed several times in a short period of time, and he wondered what Chen Fan was thinking.

So he simply advised, "Just focus on your cultivation now, don't think about these things."

"I have a message for you."

"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

"You are still weak now, so just protect yourself. Wait until you have enough strength in the future before you consider the suffering of all people."

"I have a better way."

"In the future, we will directly abolish the practice of various forces, large and small, using spirit-gathering arrays to seal spiritual veins."

"As long as the spiritual energy is released, it will naturally benefit all cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan stood frozen in place.

He silently recited: "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."

It felt as if those words had spoken directly to his heart.

As expected, Senior Xiao had already been considering these issues. He truly deserves to be called a Nascent Soul True Monarch; he is indeed far-sighted.

At the same time, Chen Fan felt completely at ease.

In his opinion, Xiao Chen must be a great person with a heart for the world to say such things.

It was truly the greatest opportunity of his life for him to meet such a senior and accomplished person!

Looking back, he had worried that the other party was training him for evil purposes, but now it seems that he was simply judging others by his own petty standards.

Fortunately, he didn't reveal those thoughts, otherwise he would have been too ashamed to face Senior Xiao again.

"I will always remember your wise words!"

Chen Fan spoke very solemnly.

So much so that Xiao Chen felt that he seemed a little strange today.

But that's not the point. As long as this kid can cultivate properly and then help me with the work, that's fine.

He was given a few words of encouragement, and the task of collecting Soul-Nourishing Jade was explained to him.

Xiao Chen left the Xu family directly and then began to return the way he came.

Although I had a general idea, the location I would appear in after teleporting should be related to the location I left in.

However, just to be on the safe side, let's test it one more time.

This time, Xiao Chen deliberately chose a small mountain stream more than 10,000 miles away from that valley to initiate the traversal.

After the usual dizzying spin, they successfully returned to the small island in the Sea of ​​Compassion.

Despite being thousands of miles away on the other side, it still appeared precisely at the position it was in before leaving, without the slightest deviation.

This is sufficient to verify that the position when leaving a single world does indeed only affect the position when returning.

And it will not affect the landing point in another world.

In other words, next time he won't have to run so far; he can simply find a secluded corner to travel through.

They went straight to the Tiangang Sect.

After several months of recovery, although it still looks somewhat desolate compared to before, it has improved significantly.

Most of the formations along the way have been dismantled and recycled.

Many lower-ranking disciples have also resumed traveling between various strongholds to cultivate spiritual herbs and mine spiritual minerals.

The whole scene presents a vibrant and thriving landscape.

However, the protective array on Qingcang Peak is still in a semi-open state.

They spotted Xiao Chen from afar, who hadn't bothered to conceal his presence.

When he arrived, several Golden Core cultivators who had stayed behind came out to greet him: "We respectfully welcome True Lord!"

Xiao Chen reached out a hand to help him up, then asked directly, "Are all of Fellow Daoist Gang Yuan and the others not here?"

Normally, even if reinforcements were needed for other sects, there should be at least one Nascent Soul True Monarch remaining at the mountain gate.

At that point, the other party should show up on their own initiative.

Since a group of Golden Core cultivators have arrived, it means that there are likely no True Lords left in the Heavenly Gang Sect.

As expected, the leading elder immediately explained, "Reporting to the True Lord, the situation on the southern front is critical."

"The sect leader and the two grand elders have already led their disciples to Yuntao Sword Pavilion to provide assistance. For the time being, only a few of us old bones remain in the sect."

This is actually considered a sect secret.

In theory, one should not disclose this information casually, but rather falsely claim that one of one's own True Lords is currently in seclusion for cultivation.

To prevent outsiders from having ulterior motives after learning that the sect is weak.

However, Xiao Chen was naturally different from other outsiders and was fully qualified to access such confidential information.

Before leaving, True Lord Gangyuan had instructed them that if Fellow Daoist Xiao came to visit, they must answer truthfully and try their best to meet his needs.

"Is the situation on the southern front tense? What exactly is the situation?" Xiao Chen remembered that before he left, the pressure there didn't seem to be too great.

After all, sword cultivators are ruthless and fierce, and they have the help of Chongzhen Temple, while the sea tribes do not give them any special treatment.

Holding their ground shouldn't be a problem.

However, the elder who remained behind replied, "Reporting to the True Lord, the news that has come back is that the giant octopus on the south side went berserk for several months."

"Charge at the great formation with all your might, and never retreat before being wounded."

"Moreover, regardless of the severity of the injury, it can be fully recovered in just one or two days, creating immense defensive pressure."

"In order to stop it from expending so much energy so frequently, Senior Frostwalker led a team out to pursue it."

"I want to take advantage of its injuries before it recovers and strike hard, or at least severely injure it as a warning."

"However, he was ambushed. Although he managed to break through and was out of danger, he had to go into seclusion to suppress his injuries."

"But at this very moment, the sea creatures somehow managed to find a total of six fourth-tier great demons."

"Three of them went to Pudu Temple, and the other three all came to the southern route."

"With this shift in power, the pressure on the south side has increased sharply."

"Since Senior Yunfeng has gone to assist Qian Konghai in defending against Cangming Immortal Sect."

"Therefore, the sect leader decided to send timely reinforcements to Yuntao Sword Pavilion to stabilize the southern front."

"As for the latest situation, we haven't had time to send it back yet."

Six more fourth-tier great demons?
This was clearly bad news for everyone in the Ocean of Compassion.

However, for Xiao Chen, this meant that as long as he could catch them, he could obtain ten or more fourth-tier spiritual materials.

Could the sea creatures actually attract even more powerful demons?
Is it even possible to achieve sustainable development?
Of course, the specifics are still unclear, and it's hard to say for sure.

But we can pay more attention to this issue later.

"So that's what happened."

Xiao Chen nodded, then asked, "Did you get anything from the bounty I issued earlier?"

Generally speaking, this product works best in the first few months.

If no one comes to claim the prize for a long time, it means that most people don't have any Stardust Wave Shield fragments readily available or are unwilling to trade them.

After that, it's all down to luck.

Unfortunately, although several months have passed, no one has come forward to claim the reward, nor has anyone been able to provide any useful clues.

After all, the great war to annihilate the Wu tribe was 500,000 years ago.

It is extremely difficult for things from that time to survive to the present day.

"Alright, just remember to promote it regularly and try to let more people know about it."

Xiao Chen gave a brief instruction, indicating that he did not intend to withdraw the bounty.

The price I set was high enough to attract a large number of people in the know to voluntarily spend time and effort to help with the search.

If enough cultivators know about it, perhaps one of them will be lucky enough to find the fragment and bring it over.

"That's settled then, you can all go back, I won't go in."

Xiao Chen waved goodbye and then turned and headed towards the Cloud Wave Sword Pavilion.

Since True Lord Gangyuan is not here, there is no need for him to stay any longer.

Let's just go check out the situation on the southern route.

The distance from the Tiangang Sect to the Yuntao Sword Pavilion is not far, but it's not exactly close either.

Even at Xiao Chen's speed, it would take him more than ten days to get there.

Just as he was concentrating on flying away, he unexpectedly crashed into a vast and beautiful coral sea.

The colorful coral trees float directly on the sea surface, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun, making them a breathtaking sight from afar.

"Huh? When did a coral sea appear here?"

Xiao Chen almost thought he had taken the wrong path. He flipped through the nautical chart and checked it before confirming that he had not misremembered.

This place should have originally been just an empty, uninhabited area.

The coral sea that suddenly appears before your eyes is most likely an illusion or an anomaly.

In recent years, many dangerous areas have appeared in the Compassionate Sea every year, and this is not the first time he has encountered such an anomaly.

If this had happened when Xiao Chen first arrived at the Sea of ​​Compassion, he would definitely have taken a detour.

Whatever happened here, it has nothing to do with him.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will be the first to hold it up.

However, things are different now; Xiao Chen is now a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

At least in the sea of ​​compassion, he is considered one of the 'tall ones'.

Since we've come across this, we might as well go inside and take a look at the situation.

As fate would have it, as Xiao Chen slowed down, he gradually ventured deeper into the depths.

The scene before his eyes kept changing.

The outer coral sea suddenly transformed into a vast expanse of fish swimming in mid-air, only to vanish in an instant, followed by a violent storm.

For every thousand miles or so you go, you will see a completely different scene.

But whatever the scene, it is so lifelike that you can't tell anything unusual just by looking at it.

"This must be another variant of the mirage, the ghost fog."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen immediately understood the situation.

He has a divine veil, so he won't be affected by illusions.

The reason we can see different scenes is because these scenes are all real.

However, these are not scenes from this place, but rather reflections from an unknown distance.

Therefore, the effect of the Divine Veil will not be triggered.

However, a simple mirage usually only has one scene.

Only ghostly mist contains multiple layers of scenery, interfering with cultivators who mistakenly enter and preventing them from finding their way out.

At the same time, a colorless, invisible, and odorless toxin is also produced in the ghost fog.

It can cause the creatures within it to unknowingly reverse their orientation without them even realizing it.

Therefore, no matter which way you go, you will only be going around in circles, forming a situation similar to being trapped in a maze and unable to leave.

That's why it's called Ghost Mist.

"It's pointless, all that excitement for nothing."

Xiao Chen shook his head; he had originally thought he could find some treasure inside.

It is important to understand that some special disasters are both dangers and opportunities.

For example, in the "Calamity of the Yin Spirits," there are Yin spirits that can be killed.

If you can capture a powerful Yin Spirit at the core, you might even have a chance to directly obtain a fourth-tier Yin Spirit Heart.

However, in the Ghost Mist, unless you encounter an unlucky soul who falls into it and can take away their belongings, there are no special products that can be taken out.

Xiao Chen was naturally unaffected by the toxins in the ghost mist.

Therefore, after confirming the situation inside, he flew directly out.

However, just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly saw what appeared to be a large gathering of people below.

It's unclear where the scene was directly reflected.

The main thing was that there was an altar that looked very familiar to him in the middle of the crowd.
