Chapter 1997: Life Protecting Treasure Seal
Previously, although Yuan Sha compensated Qin Chen with a million Saint Pearls,
they were just Saint Pearls after all.
A Daoist King’s lifetime collection must be very tempting.
Qin Chen extended his telekinesis, then scanned the surroundings, and immediately found Yuan Sha’s Qiankun Bag easily.
He opened Yuan Sha’s Qiankun Bag.
A large number of cultivation resources made Qin Chen’s eyes burn with eagerness.
These cultivation resources could all be used to condense stars.
Among them, a treasure seal caught Qin Chen’s attention.
He took it out.
This treasure seal was about the size of a palm, seemingly crafted from some very precious stone, with a thumb-sized, aquamarine crystal in the center.
"This should be a Life Protecting Treasure Seal, able to protect life at critical moments."
"This guy was really unlucky, obviously had a life-saving trump card, but didn’t even have time to use it," Little Fairy said.
Qin Chen beamed with joy.
Isn’t this a good thing for him?
Moreover, a life-protecting treasure that could save a Daoist King must be very precious.
"Senior Sister, Song Yun, let’s go, we continue on our way," Qin Chen said.
"Let’s recover before moving on, your injuries are so severe," Shen Mirui said.
Qin Chen shook his head and said, "Senior Sister, I’m a Body Refining Martial Artist, injuries are not much to me, as long as I’m not dead, it’s no big deal."
"Right now, time is tight, and the Blood Spirit Demon Clan is searching everywhere for us, we can’t waste time."
Shen Mirui nodded, then the three continued forward, capturing another flying demon beast. Qin Chen sat on the flying demon beast, closed his eyes, and began to recover.
Meanwhile, Qin Chen multitasked.
Recovering from injuries, while refining the cultivation resources in Yuan Sha’s Qiankun Bag, condensing stars.
About half a day passed.
The three of them traveled day and night without resting.
Since Qin Chen needed to recover from injuries, the flying demon beast was alternately driven by Shen Mirui and Lin Songyun.
Twice along the way, they encountered members of the Blood Spirit Demon Clan, but they discovered it just in time and cleverly avoided them.
But, this was definitely not a sustainable solution.
They would inevitably run into the Blood Spirit Demon Clan at some point.
Especially after the Blood Spirit Demon Clan discovered they had killed the Jingyue Emperor, they would certainly be even more eager to capture them.
At this moment, it was early morning.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Qin Chen opened his eyes.
Using divine power and the power of the Medical Saint, Qin Chen’s injuries were basically healed.
Refining the cultivation resources in Yuan Sha’s Qiankun Bag, Qin Chen once again condensed ten stars.
Looking inside his Star Life Palace, there were a total of one hundred and twenty-two stars flickering.
Each star harbored immense power.
Qin Chen was extremely satisfied.
At the very least that Lord Bone Pearl was not spent in vain.
"Awake?"
At that moment, Shen Mirui was the one steering the flying demon beast.
In fact, steering a flying demon beast wasn’t mentally taxing; the main concern was being vigilant against the Blood Spirit Demon Clan, which was indeed exhausting.
Shen Mirui was visibly a bit fatigued.
Qin Chen smiled and nodded, "For the rest of the journey, let me steer the flying demon beast; as a Mind Sovereign, it will be easier for me."
"Wow!"
However, just as Qin Chen finished speaking,
very suddenly,
the flying demon beast was wrapped in a powerful pulling force, dragging it down abruptly.
The three of them immediately felt an extremely intense sense of weightlessness.
Lin Songyun, who had been resting, was startled awake.
"What’s going on?"
Shen Mirui’s face changed slightly.
No one attacked; it wasn’t the Blood Spirit Demon Clan; it seemed to be due to this place.
Qin Chen sent his telekinesis scanning the ground below.
The ground was an ancient ruin.
It looked very old and desolate, with no one around.
When Qin Chen sent his telekinesis toward the ruins, even his telekinesis was being pulled.
Qin Chen immediately abandoned the flying demon beast, grabbing Shen Mirui and Lin Songyun with each hand.
"There’s a ruin below, and it’s very strange; let’s abandon the flying demon beast."
He charged upwards.
Yet Qin Chen soon discovered,
when he tried to go up, the pulling force from below suddenly intensified greatly.
His body not only didn’t move upward but got closer and closer to the ruins below.
"What is this cursed place?"
The unexpected situation made Shen Mirui’s face change. Suddenly a powerful aura erupted from her.
She tried to break free from the forceful pull.
But no matter how she struggled, her result was the same as Qin Chen’s; her body kept descending rapidly.
"Bang!"
The flying demon beast was the first to hit the ground, smashing a building within the ruins to pieces, dust billowing.
In the early dawn, everything was silent, and this one sound was like a shocking tune, incredibly piercing.
"Earth Chaos Map!"
Seeing no way out, as they descended, Lin Songyun placed the Earth Chaos Map under their feet to prevent injury from falling from high altitude.
"Boom!"
The noise from their landing was even greater.
The Earth Chaos Map nearly shattered, but it absorbed most of the impact force for Qin Chen’s trio.
Qin Chen and the others landed unscathed.
With a wave of Qin Chen’s hand, a gust swept through, clearing away all the dust stirred up around them.
He frowned, starting to observe these ruins.
The walls of the ruins seemed to faintly display engravings of dragon motifs, various dragons, Jiao Dragons, True Dragons, Flying Dragons, and others.
All in various forms.
At the front was a ’Dragon Hall.’
It was called a Dragon Hall because its architecture was very much like a dragon.
At first glance, it was magnificent.
"This place is too eerie; we should leave quickly."
Shen Mirui suggested.
Qin Chen nodded, quickly intending to leave.
But then he found he couldn’t move at all.
After several tries, Qin Chen hesitated a bit, taking two steps toward the dragon hall.
The legs, previously like they were sealed, could suddenly move.
"What does this mean? We can only enter the Dragon Hall?"
Lin Songyun stared at the Dragon Hall.
This feeling of being controlled was truly uncomfortable.
Qin Chen contemplated for a moment and said, "For now, we can only enter the Dragon Hall; otherwise, we can’t leave the ruins, let alone reach the Jingyue Imperial City."
"Moreover, we should hurry; otherwise, the Blood Spirit Demon Clan’s army will catch up to us."
Shen Mirui said, "However, I have a gut feeling, this Dragon Hall is really dangerous, and it’s like it was set up by someone, waiting for us to enter."
"Besides, look at how many remains are in front of the Dragon Hall. We can only imagine how many people died inside."
