Chapter 163 Ancient Spiritual Treasure, Dongzhou Changes

Chen An's eyes flashed with a faint blue light, as if they could see through all illusions and take in everything in front of him. His gaze was fixed on the black shadow that was about to wreak havoc, and every slight movement of the other party did not escape his eyes.

The two groups of monks who were fighting each other were so frightened when they saw the high-level monk coming in person that they turned pale and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Thousands of people were lying on the ground, trembling and not daring to breathe.

However, Chen An did not care about these people. Instead, he focused all his attention on the black shadow, observing the other party's every move with full concentration.

This person's aura was not weak, and it was obvious that his cultivation was comparable to that of the early Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, his whereabouts were extremely strange, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, as if he could control the mysteries of space. This mysterious ability made Chen An realize that this black shadow was by no means comparable to an ordinary cultivator.

"You...you can actually find me!"

The shadow's voice was filled with surprise, and he couldn't help but shrink his already weak body back.

"What a joke! You bully me here and kill so many monks. Do you really think I'm blind?"

Chen An smiled lightly. The opponent's methods were strange. Although he had reduced most of the power of his God-killing Sword, his breath was unstable and he was obviously injured.

His God-killing Sword Finger had improved greatly after many rounds of practice, and even the Divine Transformation cultivators could not resist it.

Unexpectedly, this black shadow could not only offset most of the power, but also withstand the remaining power without dying. It was really surprising, even though Chen An did not go all out in order to keep someone alive.

After another meeting.

Chen An looked at the elusive black shadow and was even more surprised: "This person's methods are too strange. It seems that we can't hold back."

Originally, he was thinking of capturing the other party alive and interrogating him about his background and details, but after a few fights, he found that the other party's figure was blurry, and he appeared in another direction in the blink of an eye. It was a bit extraordinary, as if he had mastered some kind of teleportation ability.

This ability is not too terrifying, as the opponent can only teleport within a few miles or so, which is not too far. However, in a fight, it is fatal to an ordinary Nascent Soul, and one can lose his life if he is not careful.

However, after Chen An realized that the other party had teleported again, he allowed the big knife transformed from the black mist to chop him. Then his figure became blurred and disappeared.

This is the secret of Wind Shadow Illusion!

But it was the first time that the black shadow saw this magical power, and he was obviously stunned. How could the person disappear?

Could it be that this person also possesses a similar ability to teleport?

He was wondering about the situation and suspected that Chen An also had similar abilities. He looked around and suddenly saw Chen An not far away.

"You are really like a loach! But that's all."

As soon as Chen An finished speaking, several spiritual treasures suddenly flew out from his body, flashing with intimidating spiritual light, and directly blocked the nearby area.

"Let me see how you can teleport this time!"

"Oh no! How can this person control so many spiritual treasures at the same time?"

The black shadow was obviously a little panicked when he saw this. He could still deal with two or three spiritual treasures. As long as he could find the right gap, he could move freely through it without hurting himself.

But the swarm of spiritual treasures blocked the nearby area tightly, and his dark eyes suddenly revealed a hint of fear.

But no matter what Chen An did, he used the Eight Spirit Swords, Exquisite Pagoda, Five-Colored Ring, Eternal Soul Monument, Crocodile Tail Steel Whip, etc., including some duplicates, there were almost nine spiritual treasures that appeared at the same time, blocking the space in front of him so that not even a gust of wind could blow in, and at the same time could not blow out.

Without the ability to travel through space, even though this black shadow was much stronger than the cultivators of the same level, it was only at the early Nascent Soul stage after all, and was not too strong. Chen An captured it without much effort.

The exquisite pagoda was summoned, and a brilliant light flashed, imprisoning the black shadow in the third layer.

However, at the original location of the black shadow, a light flashed, and suddenly a palm-sized black token appeared with two large characters on the front: MOVE!

The moment he held it in his hand, Chen An subconsciously probed his spiritual sense into it, and then a stream of information flooded into his mind.

This is the information about this treasure.

This treasure is called the Teleportation Token. Holding the token in hand, one can freely travel within a five-mile radius. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of mana. An ordinary cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can only teleport four or five times at most before most of his mana is used up.

During a fight, it is enough to teleport once or twice at most. Otherwise, if you use it more than a few times, all your magic power will be used up and you will become a fish on the chopping board.

The mysterious black shadow activated the relocation order four times but was still full of energy, which shows that the other party is not simple.

Out of curiosity, Chen An silently injected his magic power. He felt his vision slightly blurry and the surrounding scene changed. In a trance, he instantly appeared five miles away!
"It seems that the black shadow used this treasure to teleport."

After studying it for a while, Chen An discovered that the manufacturing method of this "magic treasure" seemed to be very different from the methods used in the current cultivation world, and it had a bit of antiquity.

Combined with the information contained in this treasure, Chen An guessed that this should not be an ordinary spiritual treasure, but a spiritual treasure passed down from ancient times.

Ordinary spiritual treasures, no matter how sophisticated their protective means are, will lose much of their power after even tens of thousands of years, let alone tens of thousands of years. If they are left for tens of thousands of years, they will most likely have become a pile of waste.

But there are a small number of spiritual treasures that can withstand the erosion of time. They are all real masterpieces among spiritual treasures. As long as the preservation methods are not too rough, they can still maintain most of their power after being stored for a long time.

There is no doubt that this relocation order is an ancient spiritual treasure that has been passed down. Its power is much stronger than that of ordinary spiritual treasures.

After playing with it for a while and putting away the treasure, Chen An separated a part of his spiritual consciousness and probed into the third floor of the Linglong Pagoda.

"Who the hell are you?"

Chen An observed carefully and found that the black shadow had a mixed aura, including sword energy, yin energy, blood energy, poison energy, and some power of the six desires.

He practiced the Six Desires Illusionary Pupil Technique and also did some research on the power of the six desires.

As far as the righteous and evil paths are concerned, apart from him, only the Hehuan Sect of the evil path is proficient in this path. No one knows who is secretly practicing in private, but this is the case on the surface.

"I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise, when I come back in the future, you will suffer. Oh, you even set fire to me."

There was a cry of surprise from the exquisite pagoda, followed by several screams.

Chen An found that when he used the soul-searching technique on him, he failed repeatedly. After careful investigation, he found that this guy had no idea what his structure was and had no soul.

Seeing that it refused to give in, he put the true fire of the sun into the exquisite pagoda and fired it a few times in a friendly manner.

"The fire is too small, burn me to death if you dare!"

"With such a small fire, you can't even cook rice."

Chen An frowned as he heard waves of scolding.

The exquisite pagoda in front of them was already burning red, and even Qingze and Huoyu, who were also imprisoned on other floors, had been greatly affected. The two thought that Chen An was going to kill them.

The two were both in the stage of spiritual transformation, so they didn't suffer much damage. However, the cursing of the mysterious black shadow became weaker and weaker, and it seemed that it could not hold on any longer.

Immediately, Chen An put away the True Fire and the Exquisite Pagoda. This guy wanted to die, so he would not let him die. He just stayed inside. However, the other party did not say anything, but scattered information could be obtained from these words. This person was a clone, and there was an even more powerful original body.

And it was this guy who caused the previous monks to disappear.

Considering that both Qingyun Domain and Black Wind Mountains were affected, it is estimated that the three cities of independent cultivators on the other side are not much better off. Making the worst-case scenario, perhaps the three Qinglong Zhenjuns have already been killed.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

The giant crocodile flew over from the direction of Black Wind City. There had been quite a lot of noise from the fight just now, so it must have come here after hearing the noise.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, who were you fighting with just now? Have you found the murderer?"

"He was indeed caught, but he was quite stubborn and nothing could be learned from him. Fellow Daoist Crocodile is knowledgeable and experienced, so I wonder if there is any way."

Chen An immediately took out the Linglong Pagoda again, shielding Qingze and Huofeng on the first and second floors, and revealing the mysterious black shadow on the third floor to the giant crocodile.

The giant crocodile also poked its head out curiously and took a look: "This is..."

"Extraterritorial Demon!"

His crocodile eyes widened with a hint of fear, and he stepped back several steps, unable to believe it.

"Is this thing an extraterritorial demon?"

Chen An was stunned. He had seen this name in an ancient book before, but there was very little introduction to the extraterritorial demon in it, only one or two sentences, and it was not detailed.

All we know is that it is a mysterious alien object that does not belong to this world, and we don't know much else.

"The extraterritorial demons are good at devouring the souls of cultivators to strengthen themselves. It is estimated that the cultivators and my demon clan that have been lost in recent times were killed by them. Moreover, the extraterritorial demons have strange methods and can split themselves into several parts. As long as one of them is not destroyed, they will not die. They are very difficult to deal with, so it is not easy to completely eradicate them. Ancient cultivators usually use a special method that can affect their clones to suppress them."

The giant crocodile told the story slowly and leisurely. He had lived for quite a long time and knew a lot of these unknown things.

"Just now I heard him say that there is a real body. So, the one I caught is the clone of the extraterritorial demon."

"That's right. Alas, I didn't expect that there would be such evil spirits in Dongzhou. I don't know whether they are left over from ancient times or have broken through the world. The former is not bad, as long as we are more careful, we can prevent it. If it is the latter, there are countless evil spirits, and the land of the four continents will be in danger!"

The giant crocodile had just recovered its body functions a few years ago, and had not yet had time to break through to the state of spiritual transformation, but it had already suffered this disaster, and its expression was quite unwilling.

"By the way, since the Black Wind Mountains and Qingyun Sect have both suffered this disaster, I guess the righteous sect on the other side is not much better. Daoist friend, you can go to the Black Wind Mountains freely, so you can go there to find out a little. If there is any situation, you and I can respond. Don't be ignorant at the critical moment."

Chen An suggested that the Dongzhou righteous path and the Qingyun Territory were only separated by the Black Wind Mountains, so it would be most appropriate to let the giant crocodile go there.

As for the teleportation array between Black Wind City and Azure Dragon City, Chen An has planned to close it temporarily. He has no intention of opening it again until this matter is completely resolved and the disaster is eliminated.

"Okay, you go back and wait first. I'll be back as soon as I find out what's going on."

After saying goodbye, the giant crocodile turned around and flew towards the Black Wind Mountains, and disappeared in a moment.

Chen An asked Chen Qing to clean up the mess in Black Wind City, while he returned to Kuxiu Mountain.

However, he did not fly back, but used the teleportation order to teleport back.

His vision blurred and his body appeared several miles away from Black Wind City. He teleported dozens of times in succession and arrived at the destination, a distance of more than a hundred miles, in less than two breaths.

After such intense consumption, Chen An only had about 30% to 40% of his magic power left, which was far from the limit.

After experimenting for a while, Chen An also got used to the trance-like feeling during teleportation. He should get used to this thing as soon as possible, otherwise if it happened during a fight, it would be simply seeking death.

After returning to Beishan and recovering his magic power, Chen An went to the Five Poisons Sect.

Tell Luo Ling'er over there to be careful of the demons from outer space.

After all, he still needed the Five Poisons to refine his body, and Luo Linger was also his right-hand man, and he didn't want anything to happen to the Five Poisons Sect.

After giving the instructions, Chen An practiced hard in the cave while waiting for news from the giant crocodile.

Two years later, the giant crocodile did not come, but Tianshu Zhenjun, one of the Seven Stars of Wanjian Sect, came to visit.

Ever since we last met and traded seven Calming Pills, there has been less news about the Wanjian Sect in Dongzhou.

Chen An knew clearly in his heart that these seven guys were probably making a fortune in silence and secretly preparing for the Nascent Soul stage for their disciples, in an attempt to have a few more Nascent Soul cultivators in the Wanjian Sect.

Sure enough, the two chatted for a while and Tianshu Zhenjun explained his purpose.

"Thanks to the help of fellow Daoist's Calming Pill last time, I have two more Nascent Soul Junior Brothers in my sect. These few top-grade spirit stones are not a token of respect."

Tianshu Zhenjun was very capable, and before he had said a few words, he had already thanked him and given him the spiritual stone, completing the task smoothly.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too polite. We have already paid for the goods. No matter how many Yuanying cultivators the Wanjian Sect produces, it is only the good fortune of your sect. There is no need to thank me."

Chen An refused verbally, but he accepted the few top-grade spirit stones without saying a word.

Upon hearing that two more Nascent Souls had emerged from the Wanjian Sect, he sighed inwardly. He wondered when those guys on the mountain would be able to complete their Dan formation. Otherwise, no matter how many Tranquility Pills he had, they would be of no real use.

However, the Chen family is still in its infancy, so it is already good enough to have a few people who have reached the Jindan stage. As for the Yuanying stage, I am afraid we will have to wait for a few more years.

The only point is that after these years of development, the Chen family has numerous foundation-building cultivators who have become the backbone of the clan.

Although the number of Jindan monks is relatively small, the accumulation in recent years is sufficient, and many young talents have been born. The number of Jindan monks is also slowly increasing at the rate of one every few years.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know that Li Xiuxuan from Taixu Sect and Absolute Sword Master from Black Sword City have been fighting each other privately recently? It seems that they have some grudges against each other."

"What grudge could there be between them?"

Chen An was surprised that these three people had not yet fallen victim to the evil spirits from outside the realm.

"According to my estimation, it's because of a woman. Recently, True Lord Juejian has been very close to Fairy Haoyue, and he often goes in and out of Fairy Haoyue's bedroom. It's very likely that Li Xiuxuan couldn't stand it, so he took action."

Tianshu Zhenjun said contemptuously.

He seemed to know a lot about Li Xiuxuan and Fairy Haoyue.

However, Chen An was not too concerned and instead focused his attention on another matter.

From previous interactions with the two, he discovered that it was true that True Lord Juejian was in love with Fairy Haoyue, but Chen An could tell from Fairy Haoyue's expression that she was not interested in True Lord Juejian and was even a little cold towards him.

Why are the two of them getting closer and closer, to the point where Li Xiuxuan can't stand it anymore?

Chen An felt that there must be something fishy going on!
