Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 361 Cave Murals: Unheard of
What is the world beyond our own?
Chen Xu opened his eyes wide, his heart pounding violently.

Even when he accomplished the monumental feat of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, his emotions were never as intense as they are now.

He was eager to examine everything, and subconsciously wanted to mobilize his inner energy to protect himself.

This is a self-protective instinct. Anyone who comes to a completely unfamiliar world will want to first determine their ability to protect themselves before slowly unfolding everything.

However, it was during this mobilization of his inner energy that Chen Xu suddenly discovered an extremely terrifying fact.

He suddenly realized that the gravity in this world was terrifyingly strong!
In the dim light, what assaulted from all directions was not the dense spiritual energy, but rather a terrifying pressure.

Chen Xu was like a fish in the water that suddenly came to land.

It was as if a bubble, accustomed to its lightness and etherealness, had suddenly entered the real world.

The pressure from all sides was almost suffocating him.

He had the illusion that he was being compressed.

Crunchy——

No, this is not an illusion!
He seems to be really being compressed.

No, Chen Xu struggled to mobilize the remaining true essence in his dantian.

He was covered in cold sweat.

Oh no! In order to break through the barrier, he had invested all his remaining free attribute points into conversion, so now he has no free attribute points left to sustain his true energy.

This was the first time Chen Xu had used up all his cards.

No, that's not right. He actually has other trump cards up his sleeve.

Because the free attribute points were so useful, Chen Xu almost forgot that he had stockpiled a lot of spiritual food in his kitchen.

He quickly contacted the kitchen and painstakingly retrieved various spiritual foods from it, then ate them as quickly as possible.

It is worth mentioning that, despite being at its fastest speed, Chen Xu's actual movements were still quite slow.

The pressure in the air was so great that Chen Xu could only manage to eat a few mouthfuls of spirit rice porridge and swallow a handful of Crimson Robe to replenish his meager spiritual energy by exerting all his strength.

Fortunately, the kitchen is still usable.

Chen Xu did not lose control of the kitchen despite arriving in a completely new and strange world.

He tried his best to regulate his breathing, and fortunately, the innate true essence itself has the characteristic of continuous generation. After regulating his breathing for half an hour, the depleted power in his body finally slowly recovered a little.

If the dantian is likened to a lake or sea, then at this moment Chen Xu has finally accumulated a thin layer of true essence liquid in his depleted lake or sea.

The dull-colored golden pill finally regained some luster.

He let out a soft breath, feeling fortunate that he seemed to be in a remote place with no other living beings around.

Chen Xu was too unfamiliar with this world. He just wanted to meditate alone and didn't want to come into contact with "anyone" in this world too soon.

He caught his breath, and although he still felt immense pressure and every movement was incredibly difficult, he was fortunate to have cultivation after all.

Chen Xu mobilized his true energy, circulating it throughout his body, barely managing to adapt to the terrifying pressure from all directions.

He opened his eyes wide and looked around, first noticing that the light was dim all around.

At first, Chen Xu thought that the world he was in was at night, which was why the light was dim.

But when his true energy flowed to the acupoints around his eyes and his vision gradually brightened, Chen Xu realized that the dim light here had nothing to do with day or night!

It turned out that he was actually in a cave.

The cave walls on all four sides are ancient and weathered, with the rock textures uneven and mottled, bearing the marks of time.

Chen Xu was currently in what could be considered an open area within the cave, but looking further ahead, he could see the rugged cave path.

There was a bend that was so narrow that Chen Xu couldn't see what the road looked like beyond it.

He subconsciously tried to use his mind, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

not good!

The pressure here was too great; he couldn't even begin to probe out of his mind. If he were to force it out, he would only harm himself first.

Chen Xu suppressed his headache and quickly reached out to support himself against a section of the cave wall.

He took two quick breaths, but what he inhaled was a rich spiritual energy.

call--

Chen Xu then experienced for the first time what it felt like to almost choke to death by spiritual energy.

Yes, this world is incredibly rich in spiritual energy.

In comparison, Dali, where Chen Xu originally lived, was like a desert where not even a speck of spiritual energy could be found.

Therefore, it would be unreasonable to say that the world is bad.

Chen Xu simply hasn't adapted to this world yet. This world is so rich in spiritual energy; perhaps the mystery of immortality can truly be solved here.

Chen Xu leaned against the cave wall and regulated his breathing for a while.

Once he recovered, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the true energy in his dantian had increased significantly.

Very good. It seems that with the abundance of spiritual energy in this world, it will only take him a few dozen or a few hundred more breaths of spiritual energy to fully restore his true essence.

The biggest problem now is not that there isn't enough spiritual energy, but that he can't absorb it all.

They were afraid of sucking themselves to death too quickly, or even bursting out of their bodies.

Chen Xu caught his breath and his emotions calmed down considerably.

He regained his composure and was no longer in a hurry.

A moment later, Chen Xu circulated his true energy to the area around his eyes and carefully examined the cave again.

He wouldn't leave the cave easily without thoroughly observing the surroundings.

Chen Xu looked closely and found that the cave was relatively dry. Judging from the state of the rocks, it did not seem to be much different from the terrain of Dali.

Moss was faintly growing at the four corners of the cave walls, but due to insufficient humidity, the moss was not excessive.

Occasionally, some moss sprouted small flowers. Chen Xu turned his head and suddenly saw an entry in the corner:
【Grass Moss Flower, a low-grade spiritual herb that grows by drawing strength from the earth in abandoned spiritual caves. When crushed, it has a certain ability to heal wounds. When placed in a ninth-grade cauldron for cooking, it can be used as a seasoning.

It has a bland, slightly bitter taste and is believed to have some effect in clearing away toxins and heat.

A ninth-grade alchemy cauldron, what is that?
The so-called Nine-Rank Elixir Cauldron was something Chen Xu had never heard of before.

He had just begun to ponder this when, following the small cluster of moss flowers, he suddenly noticed something else unusual.

What is it?
But in the recessed part of the side cave wall, there was a large expanse of undulating green.

This verdant green is not from any plant or tree, but is clearly the color of ink and brush.

Chen Xu's gaze moved upwards again.

Then, he saw a huge map of the Nine Provinces and the Sea on the cave wall!

The world is vast, with rolling mountains and rushing rivers.

The south is lush and green everywhere, while the north is mostly desert and barren land.

There are also vast grasslands and surging seas.

Among them, the most eye-catching and iconic features are the Kunlun Mountains, which resemble the roof of the world, and the magnificent canal that stretches from south to north across the vast land.

That was the Grand Canal of North and South China, which Chen Xu personally participated in and built!

Seeing this, even Chen Xu, who was usually very calm, was somewhat stunned.

He felt goosebumps all over his body and his heart was pounding.

A utterly magical, absurd, yet seemingly undeniable conjecture suddenly exploded into his mind at that moment.

This world, this world...
