Talisman Emperor
Chapter 198 – Stone Demon
On the way, Chen Xi realized with surprise that Tantai Hong was taking him out of the city, and Tantai Hong seemed to want to head straight for the Ocean Desert. Moreover, Tantai Zixuan quietly left as well.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
In the entire Oceanic City, many beautiful lights were flowing through the sky from all directions, and it sounded like waves were emitting as they flew out of the city.
When looking from afar, the light flowing from the various colors weaved together into a cloud filled with colors, and they swarmed and whistled as they flew by quickly, flying over, it makes them an incredible sight.
Behind Oceanic City was a vast, boundless Ocean Desert, a terrifying existence called the place of death.
Chen Xi had once entered the Oceanic Desert, but he entered from the Rowdy Grasslands side on that day. At that moment, a gale howled and a sandstorm raged in the Ocean Desert, like a god with a harsh temper who was recklessly venting all the anger and hatred in his chest, like a god with a violent temper, and it was filled with boundless and extremely frightening destruction.
However, at this moment, the Ocean Desert had instead become calmer. Although the wind and sand were still fluttering across the sky, the strength of this flutter had been greatly weakened. Clearly, as the rumors say, the Ocean Desert is really entering a period of dormancy.
Although the Ocean Desert was famous as a place of death, there were many treasures of heaven and earth contained within it, and there was no lack of ruins, secret realms, and, and even Immortal Abodes and treasure vaults were storing ancient precious treasures. But since it was too dangerous before, no one dared to step foot in it.
It's different now. As soon as the Ocean Desert entered a period of dormancy, it was like a savage beast that had put away its fangs and became unarmed, causing its danger to further diminish. As long as one doesn't go far into the Oceanic Desert, it was enough for one to obtain many treasures and make a surprising profit by searching for priceless treasures and countless rare treasures within them.
It was precisely because of this period of dormancy that this period of time had become the best time for various young disciples to enter the Oceanic Desert and search for treasures while training, weakening themselves and gaining experience. There were even some merchants who had formed a group of experts to head to the Ocean Desert and gather ingredients in an attempt to make a huge profit.
Chen Xi saw many merchants forming a large group of guards before running towards the Ocean Desert, and each of their faces were filled with excitement and desire, it was as if they were about to enter a mountain of silver and gold to start panning for some.
Within the dense crowd of people, the Golden Core Realm cultivators who had come from various places of the Darchu Dynasty were undoubtedly the most conspicuous. They were all experts from the younger generation, the core strength of the various sects, and when they flew in the sky, they could usually cause waves of shocked exclamations and sharp cries that contained praise, admiration, and awe, and of course, there is envy.
Chen Xi even looked at the many extremely formidable young experts who had an aura that was not the least bit inferior to Xue Chen and Pei Zhong, and there were even some who surpassed them. Thus, it was difficult for them not to cause any surprises to others.
The meeting of the heroes with the experts was as much as the clouds. Unfortunately, all of these people were mostly cultivators from outside the southern region, whereas, there were only a few cultivators from the southern region itself. How ironic. Chen Xi sighed to herself. This also allowed him to clearly understand that the cultivation world in the southern region was indeed too poor, and was not at all at the level of the northern barbarian lands, the eastern sea, and the central plains.
"Chen Ke, among those few Daoist Fellows, two of them are disciples of my Tantai Clan benefactor, and their strength is at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he said, and the other few were Gold Core disciples from the various great powers in the central plains. All of them were genius figures of the younger generation and were experts who had the ability to participate in the Allstar Meeting. You should be careful when you meet later, and do not offend them. "On the way, Tantai Hong suddenly spoke in warning.
Chen Xi nodded, yet she lightly sighed. When one cooperated with the disciples of other sects to carry out missions and search for treasures, it would usually be extremely dangerous. Since everyone was not from the same sect, there were no rules restricting them, causing the act of stealing or killing for the sake of the wealth of others and plotting against one's companions to happen easily.
“Are you worried they will forget the honor because of the prospect of wealth?” Tantai Hong smiled and then thought for some time before saying, “This is something you cannot do. The Qian Yuan Treasure Warehouse was left behind by peerless Heavenly Deities, and was covered in layer upon layer of restrictions. Every step you take is filled with killing intent. I had to get help from their strength in order to guarantee a safe passage into it. Of course, they moved with us for the help of the treasure map I had. This is something I distinguish very clearly, and that is why I ask you to be careful and adjust accordingly to the situation to avoid any accidents. ”
“Uncle Tantai has deep wisdom to handle all of this, so there is nothing for me to worry about. "Chen Xi smiled.
"Don't worry, if we enter the Qian Yuan Treasure Warehouse this time, you will definitely benefit. Tantai Hong laughed loudly, and he increased his speed and flew towards the direction of the Ocean Desert.
Although the Ocean Desert had entered a dormant state, it was still extremely dangerous. As the weather in the Ocean Desert varied indefinitely, and not only did it have frightening restrictions and enough spatial tears to swallow it all down, there were even many great demonic beasts raging within it. Some of these demonic beasts could even be compared to cultivators of the Rebirth Realm and even extremely rare existences that surpassed the Rebirth Realm. Moreover, these demonic beasts formed hordes and groups and were not afraid of death.
Of course, in the eyes of experts, these demon beasts were a huge part of wealth, just like hunting these demonic beasts and depriving them of blood essence, skin, and skin, and their fur to refine Magic Treasures and to sell was a huge source of wealth. However, these experts did not dare to be negligent and careless, otherwise, going deep into the horde of demonic beasts would definitely cause one to die a terrible death.
Swooshes!
Chen Xi and Tantai Hong tore through the sky and entered 500 km into the Oceanic Desert before arriving at the rocky hill formed from the corrosion of wind and sand.
"This is the Demon Stone, and further ahead are the truly dangerous places in the Oceanic Desert such as the Five Elements Ruins, the Dark Fiend Burial Ground, the Lightning Storm Zone, and so on, and the other dangerous places are there, and the slightest carelessness can make you lose your life Moreover, the spirit energy here is extremely rare, he said, so we have to prepare enough medicinal pills to replenish our bodies, otherwise, sooner or later we will be trapped to death in this place. Tantai Hong stood on a rock hill and spoke in a deep voice. “We will wait here, they will come soon. ”
Chen Xi nodded and looked at this Demonic Stone. The rock area of about 5 km has formed a hill that is completely pitch-black and shiny, and its surface has many holes of various odd shapes and sizes formed by the corrosion of wind and sand.
Moreover, this place was covered with many hills and sand mountains that towered up into the clouds, and the sun in the sky was extremely strong. A number of strands of intense sunlight penetrated downwards causing one's skin to feel as if it was about to melt.
The temperature here was only as if someone was inside a pill cauldron, charred and hot, and an ordinary person would probably be roasted into a dried corpse long ago.
Chen Xi was feeling very comfortable. Inside the desert, it was so hot that even metal would melt, and the searing air flow burned the air to the point of distortion, yet once this hot air flow approached Chen Xi, it was the same, it would be absorbed by the Shooting of the Third and Great Fire Shaman. The Shaman Marked on his back before starting to change and dampen the strength of his body.
Bang out!
While they were waiting, Tantai Hong seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly circulated his True Essence to vigorously reach towards the small sand dunes 3 km away. Suddenly, he grabbed a huge desert lizard like an elephant. The aura of this desert lizard was comparable to that of a peak Violet Palace Realm cultivator and was only a step away from advancing to the Golden Hall Realm.
Chen Xi briefly sized it up before she said, "This desert lizard has actually evolved to the realm of perfection of the Violet Palace Realm. It seemed like it had consumed a lot of spirit veins and ores under the desert. Unfortunately, there was no one to guide him, otherwise, it would be impossible for his cultivation to reach the Golden Hall Realm. ”
“This place is a relatively safe area, and it belongs to the edge of the Ocean Desert. After we go deeper, the demon beasts there are extremely powerful. Especially the Ruins of the Five Elements. The various demonic beasts formed groups and packs and were all at the perfection stage of the Golden Hall Realm. Once they moved, it would be a group of several thousand, and they were extremely frightening. There was once a half Rebirth realm cultivator like me who was instantly trapped alive there. “Tantai Hong sighed with emotion, and he killed the desert lizard as he spoke and placed it inside his storage Magic Treasure.
The Half-step Rebirth Realm was cultivation above the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and it had an absolute advantage for the Golden Core Realm stage-perfection demon beast. But if several thousand Golden Hall Realm stage-perfection demon beasts were to swarm in, they were also capable of killing Golden Core Realm cultivators. This was an absolute advantage formed from numbers, and it was like a burst of powerful troops that was impossible to stop.
“So there's even something like this. Group after group of demonic beasts indeed could not be looked down upon. '' Chen Xi imagined for a moment, and she was also very scared.
Swish!
Right at this moment, the sharp sound of the sky tearing apart rang out from an extreme distance, and then sword light descended like a flowing light with a powerful momentum, and it even caused Chen Xi's clothes to flutter in the wind.
The Sword Intent was extremely hard and fast, yet the sword move was simple and crude, and it seemed like an extremely heavy earth. As soon as it descended to the ground, the entire sword force refrained to reveal a young man wearing an apricot yellow Daoist robe.
This young man was tall and handsome, his bearing was deep and viscous, and he looked majestic in appearance. He was like a vast earth without borders, deep and high, and he looked like a great leader.
As soon as this young man descended to the ground, he nodded to Tantai Hong. However, when he saw Chen Xi, his brows frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed within his eyes.
Chen Xi paid close attention to this, yet her expression remained unchanged.
"Chen Ke, this is Lin Moxuan from the central plains of the Earthly Heaven Sect, a perfect-stage Golden Core Realm sword cultivator famous all over the world. He was a top figure among the experts of the younger generation. ”
Tantai Hong grinned as he introduced. "Daoist Fellow Lin, this is Chen Ke, he is my daughter's best friend. ”
Lin Moxuan did not even glance at Chen Xi before frowning as he said, "Patriarch Tantai, we will be looking for the Qian Yuan Treasure Warehouse this time, and it is filled with danger. How can you carry the burden? Not to mention that we have agreed for a long time that we cannot bring others, it is not good if someone hides evil intentions or wants to sit still while enjoying the work of others. ”
Lin Moxuan's words instantly took Chen Xi into a burden that was under humiliation. His words and actions showed superiority, and even he did not seem to take Tantai Hong seriously. It was a mystery whether he was arrogant, had an arrogant and haughty character, or he had the strength to look down on everything.
“Don't worry, this Junior of mine won't be a burden to everyone at all. This is something I can guarantee with my honor. “Beach Hong was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained. He never imagined that Lin Moxuan would be so blunt, and he could not help but sigh in his heart. I wonder what Zixuan thinks by forcing me to take this child with me. Now I even lost face with him.
Lin Moxuan's frown deepened, and he said coldly, "Well, but if he inhibits my footsteps and becomes a burden, then I will be the first to kill him!"
When he heard this, Chen Xi still maintained a calm and carefree expression, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.
It's thundering!
Right at this moment, waves of loud explosions rang out in the sky all of a sudden, and wisps that looked like burning fire clouds were gushing out at an incredible speed, he said, and it arrived at the Demonic Stone in the blink of an eye. The clouds of flames refrained from revealing a woman in a flaming red luxurious robe who walked over gracefully. The woman who wore this bright red luxurious robe had an i figure and a charming appearance. He was actually a Golden Core Realm cultivator who possessed immeasurable strength as well!
