Chapter 215 Return to the Ink Vortex
Chapter 215 Return to the Ink Vortex
At this moment, Liang Daoqi and others stood up suddenly, their postures straight and neat.
Qin Huaiying cast a leisurely gaze towards them and said slowly, "Now that the treasure has been successfully recovered, we should also return to the sect as soon as possible."
"Elder, please stay for a while. It was Senior Shi who helped us with all his strength, which allowed us to delay until your arrival. Moreover, it was Senior Shi who generously gave us this temple, so we were able to enter and search for treasures. The treasures obtained this time should be shared with Senior Shi." Liang Daoqi spoke sincerely.
After saying that, he carefully took out three spiritual objects from his storage ring. They were the sparkling Thunder Soul Orb, the Thunder Pattern Stone with strange textures, and the Thunder Spirit Vine that contained thousand-year-old spiritual energy.
Shi Chen looked carefully, but found that there was no Thunderbolt Pearl needed for his body forging. He immediately said, "I only want the Thunderbolt Pearl. If you have it, you can trade with me. You should keep these spiritual objects and don't need to share them with me."
"In that case, then you can put it away. As for the Thunderbolt Pearl you need, I wonder if you are willing to follow me to the Lingjian Sect, and I will exchange it for you." Qin Huaiying narrowed his eyes slightly, with a serious expression and said in a steady tone.
"If I can exchange it for the Thunderbolt Pearl, I am willing to go to the Lingjian Sect with you." Shi Chen quickly saluted with a fist and said with joy on his face.
Qin Huaiying waved his sleeves, summoned the flying boat, tapped his toes lightly, and flew up like a swallow.
Everyone didn't dare to delay and followed Qin Huaiying closely, jumping onto the flying boat. Once they were on the flying boat, they sped off towards the Spirit Sword Sect at lightning speed.
After they left, a faint light and shadow quietly appeared in the temple, so shadowy that it was difficult to see its true appearance.
The man frowned slightly, looking in the direction they had left. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. He sighed softly, "It's a pity he didn't come in. That kid who was electrocuted had such a coincidence that he realized a trace of the sword power of electricity on the verge of life and death."
Three months later, at the flying boat dock of Youhai Fairy City, a monk in a blue shirt and gray robe calmly inquired about the flying boat going out to sea.
"Senior, to be honest, it has been a long time since a cross-sea flying boat crossed the Chaotic Sea. Ever since the sea monster clan occupied the entire Dayu Continent, all the major seaside fairy cities on our Yuanling Continent have been forced to cancel their cross-sea routes." The foundation-building deacon at the flying boat dock bowed slightly and explained respectfully.
"When monks go out to sea to search for treasure, don't they need to take a cross-sea flying boat?" The gray-robed monk frowned and asked in a low and doubtful voice.
"This cross-sea flying boat has now been converted into a short-distance island route, shuttling back and forth between the major islands in the Chaotic Sea and the sea fairy city on the mainland. Senior, I wonder which island you want to go to?" The deacon asked cautiously, his face full of caution.
"Is there any flying boat that can reach Dayu Continent?" the gray-robed monk asked again, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring closely at the deacon.
"Normal caravan flying boats do not have routes to that place. However, there are some desperate underground flying boats that have routes to Dayu Continent. I heard that the cost is not cheap." After cautiously watching around, the deacon lowered his voice and spoke softly.
"I heard that strange phenomena appeared in Mowo a few years ago, and spiritual creatures have frequently appeared in the world in recent years. Is there a flying boat that can go to the islands near Mowo?" The gray-robed monk asked with a calm expression but a tone of urgency.
"Yes, every day. Senior, are you going to Mowo to search for treasure?" the deacon asked cautiously and tentatively.
"I'm going to try my luck!" The gray-robed monk's face darkened, and he spoke in a heavy tone, "When will the nearest flying boat to the Ink Vortex depart?"
"It's available today at 3:00 PM. Senior, do you need a ride?" the deacon asked hurriedly, a gleam in his eyes.
"Well, just take this trip. Handle it quickly and it's a medium-sized cabin." The gray-robed monk waved his hand and said decisively.
At noon, Shi Chen arrived at Youhai Fairy City. After asking about the flying boat's route, he found out that it would take several hours before departure.
So, he walked briskly and leisurely into the lobby of the Xiancheng Restaurant, casually ordered a pot of spiritual wine and some exquisite side dishes, and listened leisurely to all kinds of news.
"Brother Ji, you had a fruitful harvest in the Chaotic Sea last month. I think you have a good chance of reaching the late stage of foundation building!" The cultivator at the next table clasped his fists and congratulated his classmate, his face full of envy and admiration.
"It was also a coincidence. I happened to encounter a golden clam, and it produced a golden-patterned pearl with three golden patterns on it. Haha!" The monk said with a smile on his face and high spirits.
The cultivator at another table spoke in a mysterious tone, lowering his voice, "There have been many mysterious cultivators appearing lately. They've appeared in all the major secret realms and spiritual artifact production areas. It seems the Yuanling Continent is about to become chaotic."
"That's right. Half a month ago, on the tenth peak of Qingming Mountain, a group of mysterious monks were so bold as to challenge the demon king guarding the peak. The two sides fought for a whole half day. In the end, a powerful pressure came from the direction of Qingming Mountain, which scared away the group of monks." The monk at the same table widened his eyes and described it vividly.
On the other side, a cultivator was discussing, "News has come in that the Fire Clan intends to unify the Red Flame Continent."
"Hasn't the Red Flame Continent always been ruled by the Fire Clan?" The cultivator sitting at the same table with him asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"More than a thousand years ago, the Fire Clan split into three clans due to differences in ideology. Now the Huolie Clan is unstoppable, overwhelming the other two clans and has already occupied two-thirds of the Chiyan Continent. In two years, they will surely be able to unify the Chiyan Continent." The cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the late Foundation Establishment stage stroked his beard, his expression deep and his tone solemn as he explained.
It was almost noon when Shi Chen paid for the wine, got up and left the restaurant, and walked towards the Feizhou pier leisurely.
So many cultivators were searching for treasure near the Mowo that the entire flying boat was already full. Since the occupation of Dayu Continent, the value of spiritual objects in the Chaos Sea had skyrocketed, by more than 10% or 20%.
In order to seek precious resources, more monks have chosen to go out to sea in search of spiritual objects.
At the first island near Mo Vortex, Shi Chen followed the bustling crowd and got off the flying boat. Without stopping for a moment, he immediately summoned his own flying boat and flew towards Mo Vortex.
The black water of the Mo Vortex is still rolling and flowing, running parallel to the light blue waves of the Langtao Sea, forming a strange scene.
Arriving at the center of the black vortex, Shi Chen once again felt the extremely violent tearing force, as if countless invisible and powerful giant hands were frantically tearing his body apart.
He clenched his teeth, his eyes wide open, his gaze firm and resolute, all the muscles in his body tensed, every inch of his skin bearing this unimaginable pressure.
Even with the help of the Nirvana Realm Body Tempering Technique, he was unable to resist the tearing force of the ink vortex.
However, this time they advanced two hundred miles further than the previous time, and then their flesh and blood began to be ruthlessly torn apart. Shi Chen had no choice but to hide in the Xuanhuang Pearl again.
Appearing in the evil battlefield again, Shi Chen took back the Xuanhuang Pearl and looked around. The scene was still as rotten and dilapidated as before.
