Chapter 165: The eighth level of Nascent Soul, worth celebrating, overseas news!
After consuming most of his blood and energy and severely cursing the extraterritorial demon, Chen An's face turned pale, his breath was weak, and his body was indeed a little weak.

"It's just that my qi and blood are a little insufficient. It's no big deal." Chen An waved his hand nonchalantly.

Essence and blood are the foundation of a cultivator's qi and blood. Consuming too much will affect the body.

However, this is not a big deal for physical practitioners. As long as they have enough pills and practice hard for a period of time, they will be able to recover.

"Insufficient essence and blood will easily give the extraterritorial demons an opportunity to take advantage of your body and parasitize it. Fellow Daoist Chen, you'd better be careful!"

The three Yuanyings being controlled is a living example, the giant crocodile reminded with a worried look.

"Don't worry, I'll be on guard."

The other party also had good intentions, so in order to reassure him, Chen An nodded solemnly in response.

I had cursed the extraterritorial demon before, and although it did not kill it, I vaguely sensed through the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book that the other party's breath was obviously much more disordered. It was estimated that he was seriously injured and would not come out to cause trouble in the short term.

Then the two of them discussed for a long time and decided to protect their own territories and not care about the right path.

The demon from outside the domain has several Nascent Soul True Lords under his command. If they really fight with real swords and guns, Chen An feels that he will not lose to the other party. However, there is no need to fight to the death for the righteousness of Dongzhou, not to mention that the demon has too many clones and cannot be killed for the time being.

As long as he curses according to plan, the extraterritorial demon will not be able to hold on for long. When there is a chance to completely destroy the opponent in one go, he will take action.

However, Chen An, adhering to the attitude of friendly cooperation, still sent someone to remind Wanjianmen. As for Taixumen and Taixuan Mountain, he was too lazy to care about them because of the previous grievances.

Not long after this incident, the storm subsided, Qingyun Region gradually regained its former prosperity, and Kuxiu Mountain also returned to peace again.

All the people and animals on the mountain were practicing asceticism.

Perhaps the curse was effective, and for several years in a row, there were no major disturbances in the entire Dongzhou.

Apart from some frictions from time to time between Taixu Sect and the three major independent cultivator cities, they were all minor fights and not worthy of too much attention.

Chen An was also happy to practice step by step in the cave. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would guide the Jindan monks who came down the mountain in their practice, and he would also teach them skills such as talismans and alchemy.

By passing down the power of Dan, the cultivation and skill levels of the entire Chen family are also slowly improving. As of now, even without Chen An in charge, the Chen family can still establish a solid foundation in the six regions of the Far East.

Until nine years later.

On this day, the tranquil North Mountain was stirred up again. The spiritual energy that was everywhere on the mountain suddenly surged and rolled towards Chen An's cave.

As a terrifying pressure swept across the vicinity, the two people and two beasts here knew without thinking that Chen An had made another breakthrough.

This situation happens every ten years or so, and they have long been accustomed to it.

"Fortunately, I broke through the ninth level of Jindan last year and am not far from Yuanying. Otherwise, if I were to reach Jindan after growing up as an old god, I would be so sorry to these Yu Linglongs."

Chen Shuang pursed her red lips, staring at the Yu Linglong plants beside her in a daze.

She couldn't help but think of the time when she was practicing in the mountains and her physical condition exploded, so she was rescued by Chen An. After that, Chen An found Yu Linglong to assist her in practicing. After more than a hundred years of hard practice, she finally reached her current level of cultivation.

"Huh? In the past, every time there was a breakthrough, the elder would come to the spiritual field for a walk. This time, several days have passed, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Chen Shuang looked at the cave curiously for a few times, and thinking that Chen An was practicing his magical powers, he didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to practice.

At this time, in the cave.

After Chen An consolidated his cultivation, a black book magic weapon made of neither gold, jade nor stone was placed in front of him.

"My cultivation has broken through to the eighth level of Nascent Soul, it is worth celebrating."

Silently chanting the name of "Heisha", visualizing the appearance of the human-shaped black mist, suddenly, the familiar figure and breath appeared in the mind again through the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book.

After practicing this process several times in addition to training, Chen An has adapted to the use of this magical treasure and no longer feels awkward as when he first used it.

The only difference is that the black mist figures sensed in his mind, which are the clones of the extraterritorial demon, have increased again, and their number has reached as many as one hundred and fifty.

It seems that the previous curse has made this guy feel a sense of crisis, and he has been frantically creating clones over the years.

Chen An didn't care at all. As long as he could kill the original body who had already reached the fourth level of perfection, he would be able to capture the other small shrimps whose strength was no more than the third level as long as he spent some time.

"This time, I'll give you another hard time!"

Chen An gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed with blood, and when he opened his mouth, a ball of bright red blood spurted out onto the magic treasure in front of him.

This was not enough, and he spat out two more times, consuming 80 to 90 percent of his essence and blood before he stopped.

Chen An's face was pale, and he quickly threw several dragon blood pills into his mouth. After recovering some of his energy and blood, a hint of redness appeared on his face.

The situation this time is special, so he decided to go all out.

Apart from the considerable consumption the first time, he only consumed 20% to 30% of his essence and blood in the past few years, which was just a minor matter.

During this period, the number of extraterritorial demon clones increased and became so rampant that he felt he had to strike hard at them.

Chen An also discovered that if he relaxed a little, the opponent's aura would obviously be stronger when he used the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book next time.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, and we must not neglect our physical training. While our energy and blood are greatly depleted, we should go to the Five Poison Sect first."

The Five Poisons Body Refining can temper the body and has a significant effect on body refining cultivation, but as long as there are enough elixirs, it can also restore essence and blood faster.

After making the decision, Chen An immediately stood up and left Kuxiu Mountain through the teleportation array.

Black Sword City.

"puff!"

True Lord Juejian spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face turned pale, black smoke swirled above his head, faintly emitting the power of a curse, which was somewhat similar to his true form.

But no matter what means were used, the power of the curse was like a maggot on the tarsal bone and could not be dispelled.

Not only that, this time it was even more brutal, and it had eroded a lot of his essence, causing his cultivation to become unstable, and he actually fell from the perfect fourth level to the late fourth level.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Li Xiuxuan! I have already released Fairy Haoyue, what else do you want!"

Ever since he discovered that the power of the curse began to affect his cultivation, he gave in and let Fairy Haoyue go.

I thought it would calm down, but I didn't expect that this time he would be dealt a more ruthless blow.

"That's really too much, I..."

The face of the Supreme Sword Master turned red, and he sighed after holding it in for a long time: "At worst, I can just stop staying in the righteous way and go to the evil way!"

If you don't leave now, the strength of the Origin Shattered will further decline.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then left Black Sword City with a depressed feeling, and rushed towards the Hehuan Sect, the territory of the demonic sect.

"I will come back for revenge sooner or later!"

After being teleported to the Five Poisons Sect, Chen An went straight to the place where the five poisons converged.

The colorful poisonous mushrooms have now grown into a patch, and their colorful colors are very beautiful, but the poison contained is completely contrary to its gorgeous appearance. If an uninformed cultivator dares to touch it with his hands, he will be skinned alive even if he does not die. Chen An checked the condition of the colorful poisonous mushrooms, then sat cross-legged not far away, silently practicing his skills and cultivating here.

As he swallowed one blood-replenishing pill after another, his pale complexion gradually turned rosy.

I don't know how many days passed, but when I almost recovered, I found that Luo Ling'er was outside. It seemed that she had been there for a long time.

Chen An stood up silently and left.

"There hasn't been any movement in the Demonic Path recently, right?"

Chen An asked. When the news of the death of Gu Du Zhenjun came out, many demons wanted to do evil to the Five Poisons Sect. However, Luo Linger was very powerful and no one succeeded.

"They are not from the Demonic Path, but from the Wuyue Tribe of Nanzhou. They want the Five Poison Sect to cooperate and get involved in the Demonic Path."

Luo Linger frowned and said, "Nanzhou is full of poisonous miasma and Gu poisons, and the population is sparse. It is far inferior to Dongzhou, where there are many talented people and beautiful scenery. I guess they want to cultivate Gu worms in the magic way."

Chen An raised his eyebrows: "Cultivate poisonous insects?"

Through his understanding of the Five Poison Sect over the years, Chen An also knows that some poisonous insects not only need poison gas or other spiritual materials to cultivate, but some also need to devour fresh blood to grow normally.

If he were allowed to have his wish, not only would the lives of the evildoers be destroyed, but the righteous people and even the entire Dongzhou would probably suffer at his hands.

"The Wuyue tribe has been urging us to do this since Gu Du Zhenjun was alive, but they have been delaying it for fear of the backlash from the evil ways. This time, the other party has a tough attitude, and I'm afraid they are going to do something serious."

Luo Linger showed worry between her brows. The Wu Yue tribe had a deity in existence and they were not easy to mess with.

Chen An pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know the name and appearance of Wu Yue's incarnation?"

"I do know this. His name is Wu Jiutian. He is an expert in all methods of using poisonous insects from Nanzhou. He is strange and unpredictable. After he advanced to the God Transformation stage, even the Demonic God Transformation stage was unwilling to provoke him easily."

After saying this, Luo Linger opened her mouth and spit out a breath of five poisonous auras. Under her control, the five-colored poisonous bodies entangled with each other and slowly intertwined.

After a while, a lifelike three-dimensional portrait was formed.

This is a middle-aged male cultivator with a hooked nose, thin lips and a rather gloomy face.

"I once met Wu Jiutian with Gu Du Zhenjun, and I still remember his appearance."

Luo Linger's painting skills are excellent. This portrait is comparable to the real person. What is particularly important is the gloom between the eyebrows and the fierceness in the expression, which is quite charming.

"very good!"

Chen An nodded with satisfaction. Cursing one person is a curse, and cursing two people is also a curse. It just wastes some time.

Before he could inquire about the fifth-level spiritual plant, the other party brought it to him, so he could solve it all at once.

However, the other party is a deity, so cursing him might be a lot of work, and he is unwilling to do it unless it is necessary.

"Go spread rumors outside, saying that the extraterritorial demon is in the Demon Sect's territory and is about to break through to the God Transformation stage. Scare them, but remember to be careful not to let anyone find out."

Chen An planned to use the name of the extraterritorial demon to scare the Wu Yue tribe.

It’s best not to stir up disputes recently. As long as he breaks through the incarnation, no matter how much trouble these people make, it will not affect him.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Luo Ling'er took the order and was about to go and carry it out.

At this time, Chen An suddenly called her: "By the way, you take the exquisite pagoda and leave some of the breath of this foreign demon. Those old guys who have lived for a long time should be able to distinguish the real from the fake."

This extraterritorial demon's clone has only the strength of the early fourth stage, which is merely equivalent to the early Nascent Soul stage of a cultivator. Even if its strength exceeds that of a cultivator of the same level, it is at most the middle Nascent Soul stage.

He felt relieved to hand over the Linglong Pagoda to Luo Ling'er.

After explaining this matter, Chen An returned to the Five Poison Peak to continue polishing his body.

However, after practicing for two or three months and returning to Kuxiu Mountain, Chen An discovered that Chen Kebao, whom he had sent to find the location of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, had returned to the family.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Chen Kebao's aura became more reserved and obviously much calmer than when he last saw him.

Perhaps it was because his character was honed that his cultivation level rose to a higher level, reaching the seventh level of Jindan and entering the late stage.

"How's the situation there?"

Chen An asked curiously. There were not many overseas forces and he knew very little about them.

"The location has been found. It is a deserted island, tens of thousands of miles away from Dongzhou. There are no human traces there. It took me a lot of effort to get there. I followed your instructions and practiced hard on the island alone for a period of time. Only then did I sharpen my mind and gain a lot."

"However, if the elder hadn't given me a lot of Yuanshuilu when I left, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to support such a long journey."

Chen Kebao said with lingering fear, as if he had gone through a lot of hardships.

This was not beyond Chen An's expectations. Most of the spiritual veins in the world of immortal cultivation were in the four continents. Overseas, there were at most first or second level spiritual veins, and the highest was no more than third level.

This also indicates that at most, a Jindan cultivator will be born, but then he will fall.

As for the so-called overseas forces, the farthest place is only ten thousand miles away from Dongzhou. Any further away is a place without any spiritual power, which is not suitable for cultivators to survive.

If a cultivator rashly goes deep into the sea, he cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his magic power, and can only rely on the elixirs or spiritual objects he carries with him to replenish his magic power.

If all the resources such as elixirs and spiritual stones on your body are used up, and you are deep overseas and cannot return in time, you can either wait for death or swim back on your own. As for the second option, even if you are a cultivator, it will be futile without magic power, and the final result will most likely be death by being trapped.

Therefore, most monks did not explore overseas. Even if there were occasionally curious monks, they would only consume half of their resources and return if they did not find anything.

Besides, after many monks explored, they found that there was nothing strange overseas, only a vast ocean without a trace of spiritual energy. After a long time, no one was interested in it anymore.

Fortunately, Chen An was well prepared for this and gave Chen Kebao a large amount of Yuanshuilu when he left, which allowed him to arrive and return safely.

"It's good to be able to gain something, and it will be worth my hard work."

Chen An said calmly that he arranged for Chen Kebao to go exploring, one was to explore the way, and the other was to temper the other party's impetuous nature.

"By the way, is the teleportation array fully arranged?"

"It has been fully arranged. If we go again, we can arrive in a moment through the teleportation array."

Chen An nodded and said, "Very good, you have worked hard on this trip, go back and rest first."

When Chen Kebao left, Chen An also gave him a one-time teleportation array.

Knowing the coordinates of the location mentioned by the Crocodile Ancestor, it was naturally easy to accomplish this task, and it saved Chen An the effort of exploring on his own.

"It's already been done. All that's left is to go there and build the teleportation array in person someday. It's worth a small celebration."

Chen An immediately took out the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book, consumed about 30% of his blood and energy, and cursed both the Extraterritorial Demon and Wu Jiutian.
