Chapter 1027 - 1026: Celestial Immortal Relics
Enchanting Sea Region!
This realm is devoid of sunlight and moonlight, with heaven and earth completely inverted. Storms, rain, and thunder compose this sea area. If an ordinary Earth Immortal were to step into it, they would likely be thoroughly shredded in an instant.
Hundreds of islands form a massive grand array, not only serving to intercept but also functioning as an enormous killing array!
Sheets of rain purely composed of the essence of water fall from the sky, pouring down like a barrage of arrows under the sweeping gales. Ye Qingchen stands amidst it, relying on his immense True Qi to withstand the storm.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Droplets of rain collide with his Protective True Qi, erupting into heaven-shocking water mist.
"I’ve already run out of all my elixirs. If I don’t find an exit soon, I might truly be trapped here!"
Ye Qingchen thought.
This is already his seventh day in the Enchanting Sea Region.
Utilizing the characteristics of the sea, Ye Qingchen managed to shake off Floren and the others, but he also lost his way in this region. He merely suppressed his injuries with elixirs.
However.
Just earlier, he consumed his last elixir.
"Floren and the others are also in this sea region, still struggling, similarly unable to find a way out." Ye Qingchen lifted his head, gazing in all directions.
This sea region seemed infinite, its width and breadth unknown, with no discernible end. It was filled entirely with tempestuous storms and thunderous lightning.
"What is that?"
Suddenly.
Ye Qingchen’s eyes flickered, as lightning struck the sea region several miles away, weaving an expansive net of dazzling electricity. In that brief moment, the space there slightly collapsed.
"Ha ha, searching high and low with no success!"
"This is the power of an array!"
Though it was only for a fleeting moment, Ye Qingchen still sharply caught it, "Could this be the exit?"
He raised his hand, bringing forth a brilliant sword light.
This sword light swept across the void, dispersing countless winds and rains, suddenly cleaving through the void. The space trembled, rippling with waves like a solid object falling into water.
"So, it is! How did I not realize that? This Enchanting Sea Region is composed of nearly a hundred islands, yet these past few days I’ve only seen storms without a single island; they must have been hidden here!"
Ye Qingchen was delighted, urging his Star Sword.
"Slash!"
Buzz!
The brilliant sword light traversed the void, fiercely falling upon the array. The void trembled, akin to a quivering image, as the array was disrupted by external forces, unable to maintain its original form.
"Open!" "Open!" "Open!"
Ye Qingchen slashed dozens of times.
Each sword light was like a dazzling comet, swiftly soaring across, spanning the sky. At the end, Ye Qingchen bit his tongue, spewing a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Star Sword.
The void suddenly tore open, revealing a passage about a yard wide. Seizing the moment, Ye Qingchen merged with his sword, transforming into a streak of light that shot into it.
In the blink of an eye, the collapsed passage restored itself.
The surrounding winds and rains continued.
...
"I finally made it in!"
The sky and earth spun, the sun and moon shifted.
When Ye Qingchen opened his eyes again, he found himself out of the chaotic sea region, amidst an island shrouded in mist, spanning several dozen miles.
Upon entering, Ye Qingchen’s first impression was one of immense comfort.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on this island was incredibly abundant, with Spiritual Qi even visible as rain falling down. Just standing there, without the need for cultivation, his entire body seemed to open up and naturally absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Even more so.
The exhaustion from strenuous battles, fleeing, and pursuit appeared significantly alleviated.
"A treasure land!"
"Truly, a treasure land!"
"Who could have thought, that within the feared Enchanting Sea Region, such a place would be hidden!"
Ye Qingchen looked back to find that the way back had already been cut off, the entire small island existing as a separate world, cut off from the outside world!
"No wonder no one has discovered this place. Once a cultivator enters the Enchanting Sea Region, just fending off the wind and rain is taxing enough, leaving them with no desire to observe their surroundings."
The small island wasn’t large.
Ye Qingchen’s divine sense could cover it in an instant. After confirming there were no dangers, he immediately sat cross-legged to rest for a moment, before starting to explore the whole island. The entire island was a riot of colors, like a lively May, full of vitality and vigor.
"I wonder if there are any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures on the island, just right to aid my healing!"
As Ye Qingchen wandered, he pondered to himself.
Although this place was filled with massive Spiritual Qi, it wasn’t enough to repair his Earth Immortal Body. Without three to five years, it would be impossible to restore fully. If not surrounded by fierce enemies, he could have stayed to cultivate slowly, emerging only once becoming a Celestial Immortal.
"Huh?"
"This is, the Celestial Immortal Relics..."
Suddenly.
Ye Qingchen’s pupils narrowed.
He discovered before a pile of rubble lay crystalline remains, bones as white as jade. These were clearly the relics of a Celestial Immortal, but what shocked Ye Qingchen was that the body seemed to be bitten by some terrifying existence, devouring half of it!
"This is indeed a Celestial Immortal!"
Ye Qingchen’s heart trembled wildly.
He could discern from the remains that this wasn’t just a newly ascended Celestial Immortal like Yu Hongqing, but an ancient monstrous being that had lived for countless years.
"And more?"
Ye Qingchen raised his head, looking into the distance.
Instantly.
He saw another Celestial Immortal’s remains.
This body seemed to have been trampled by some giant beast, its upper body shattered into pieces, while the leg bones were full of cracks. Not far from it lay another body, seemingly torn in two by some horrific existence, with the other half vanished.
Yet another one looked like it had been struck, its entire skeleton appearing as if it exploded. Along the way, he saw dozens of Celestial Immortal remains.
"It’s an outright massacre! Unbelievably terrifying!"
"What kind of existence can slay Celestial Immortals like chickens and dogs? What on earth happened in this sea region?"
Ye Qingchen quietly walked among the remnants, looking at the broken remains and the marks left from who knows how many years ago, his heart in upheaval.
Even though countless years had passed.
He could deduce from this scene how fierce the battle must have been.
Ye Qingchen didn’t linger, continuing deeper until unknowingly reaching the edge of the island. He saw on a protruding reef there was a seated Earth Immortal Relic.
Its long robe was already fragmenting, revealing bone full of cracks.
Just from its attire, it was clear that its status was far above those previous Celestial Immortals, yet sadly, when the great calamity arrived, no amount of influence could save it from death.
"Huh?"
Ye Qingchen was just thinking, when suddenly he noticed in the relic’s hand, there was a scroll of blood-soaked writing.
Hastily grabbing it for a look, just the few words at the beginning were enough to shock him beyond words!
