Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chapter 246 Silent Sea



Chen Yuan was awakened by the feeling of raindrops hitting his face. He slowly opened his eyes and struggled to sit up from the ground.

The weakness and fatigue that penetrated into his bones wrapped him tightly like a tightening net.

His eyes were a little dark, and there seemed to be a layer of black edges around his vision. Everything in front of him seemed to be covered with a veil, which seemed a little illusory.

This was a valley of about an acre in size, surrounded by dark mountain walls, about dozens of feet high. There was drizzling rain in the sky, and the air was filled with a cool and fresh smell unique to rain.

Chen Yuan sat on the ground, soaked by the rain, and blinked gently.

His mind was dazed and he felt a slight dizziness.

He looked down and saw that the ground of the valley was also dark, and he was sitting on a round platform one foot above the ground. One by one, black lines of about an inch thick twisted and turned, forming extremely complex patterns and tracks, covering the entire round platform, forming a formation.

There are eight grooves around the formation, and the black teleportation order lies at Chen Yuan's feet. The original bright luster seems very dim at this moment.

The drizzle falls on the round platform, flows around along the black lines, and finally flows down the high platform, like four continuous water curtains.

There seems to be an invisible barrier above the eight grooves, preventing the rain from falling in.

In a corner of the formation, several black lines are broken from it, making the complex and harmonious formation look very disharmonious.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these broken black lines. He supported the round platform with his hands, stood up with difficulty, and picked up the large teleportation order at his feet.

It is worthy of being an ancient teleportation formation. Even with the teleportation order to protect him, the power of space still caused extremely great pressure on his body.

Moreover, Chen Yuan almost consumed all his blood and blood in his body to avoid Liu Fan's pursuit. His body was severely damaged and it was even more difficult to resist the squeeze of the power of space. After the teleportation was completed, his body almost collapsed.

The ancient teleportation array was not originally intended for foundation-building cultivators. Even Jindan cultivators holding the relocation order would have to bear great pressure.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan practiced both the Dharma and the body, and had a deep foundation, so he barely saved his life, but he soon fainted.

However, before losing consciousness, Chen Yuan endured the pain of tearing his flesh and released a stream of true energy to destroy a corner of the ancient teleportation array to prevent Liu Fan from chasing him.

But his consciousness was blurred at the time, and he acted almost instinctively. He was not sure whether he had really destroyed the teleportation array. Only after he was sure of it, he was completely relieved.

Chen Yuan slowly walked down the platform, staggered a step, and almost fell to the ground.

After he barely stabilized his body, he stroked his storage bag, took out a branch about seven feet long, and leaned on the ground.

This is a medium-grade spiritual material. I don’t know which cultivator it was from. It is full of spiritual energy and is just right for use as a walking stick.

There is only one exit in the valley, which can only accommodate one person. The road is tortuous, about several feet long, and the space is extremely narrow.

Chen Yuan moved out of the valley step by step, and the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

An endless sea stretched to the horizon, and endless drizzles fell into the sea, stirring up little splashes of water.

Chen Yuan leaned on a branch and slowly walked to the seaside and stopped.

Looking down from the sky, Chen Yuan was on a small island of several acres in size. The entire island was made up of dark stones, without any other colors. In the middle, there was a low mountain about tens of feet high, occupying 90% of the island.

The exit of the valley was very close to the seaside, only a dozen steps away, and there was a gentle stone beach on the shore.

Chen Yuan looked down, and the sea water was turbid light gray, without waves or ripples, as if it had died.

Only the raindrops falling into the sea stirred up countless splashes of water, proving that this was a sea, not a land.

Chen Yuan's figure was reflected in the turbid sea water, and it looked a little blurry. At this time, he was thin and his skin was tightly attached to his skeleton, like a skeleton covered with human skin, which was extremely terrifying.

This is a sign of blood exhaustion, but Chen Yuan doesn't care. He slowly bends down and scoops up a handful of sea water.

The turbid sea water flows along his fingertips, falls to the ground, gathers together, and slowly swims back to the sea like a small black snake.

"It is indeed the Silent Sea..."

Chen Yuan's expression is solemn, and he turns around and slowly moves back to the valley.

Chen Yuan has obtained all the memories of Master Qingyou, and has been prepared for the situation on this side of the teleportation array, but before seeing it with his own eyes, it is inevitable to have doubts.

The Silent Sea is a very famous dangerous place in Jiuxianzhou, and few cultivators have set foot here.

The sea water in the Silent Sea is solidified, everything is dead, there is no living creature, only some islands formed by dark strange rocks.

Not only that, there is no trace of spiritual energy in the Silent Sea, which is a rare forbidden place.

The cultivator consumes spiritual energy in the Silent Sea and cannot get any replenishment, so he can only rely on the pills and spiritual stones he carries.

There were cultivators who were interested in the Silent Sea and wanted to explore its secrets. They made full preparations and went deep into the Silent Sea.

There were even Nascent Soul masters among these cultivators, but they traveled all over the Silent Sea and found nothing.

The Silent Sea did not produce any spiritual objects, and even had no spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The cultivators gradually lost interest in this place.

True Man Qing You accidentally escaped from his enemies and entered the Silent Sea. He found this ancient teleportation array and used it as a trump card. He kept it secret and escaped to Donghuazhou when the Wentian Sect was destroyed.

This island is thousands of miles deep into the Silent Sea and is in a remote location. No one else will come here.

Although Chen Yuan was seriously injured during this teleportation, he did not have to worry about meeting other cultivators.

But there is no spiritual energy here, and it will cost a lot to recover from the injury.

He returned to the valley, sat cross-legged, looked at himself, and soon frowned.

His condition was very bad, his meridians were torn, his true essence lake dried up, his blood was exhausted, and his soul was also seriously injured.

If he had teleported at his peak, he would not have suffered any damage with his strong body.

But his condition before teleportation was too bad, and coupled with the squeeze of the power of space, he almost died.

Chen Yuan sighed lightly, stroked the storage bag, took out two medium-grade spirit stones, held them in his hands, slowly absorbed the spiritual energy from them, endured the pain of the torn meridians, slowly practiced the exercises, and transformed the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth into true essence.

His meridians were damaged, and the speed of qi circulation was extremely slow. It took a day for the true essence in his body to recover 20%.

The drizzle had stopped long ago, but the dark clouds in the sky still did not disperse, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Chen Yuan stopped the circulation of his true essence, took out a longevity pill from his storage bag, swallowed it, and repaired the injuries in his meridians.

His current speed of moving his qi was too slow, and it would be a waste of time to continue practicing at this speed.

The medicinal power of the longevity pill was extremely extraordinary. After three days, 20% of Chen Yuan's true essence was consumed, but his meridians were restored to their original state.

His body was extraordinary, and his meridians were much tougher than those of ordinary cultivators. Although his injuries were extremely serious, he recovered quickly.

However, the longevity pill had no effect on the damage to his essence and blood. This required a special healing pill, which was extremely valuable and rare for even a Jindan cultivator, let alone a foundation-building cultivator.

After the meridian injuries were healed, Chen Yuan's speed of moving his qi became much faster.

After another three days, Chen Yuan's true essence was fully restored.

Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he could only absorb spiritual energy from the middle-grade spirit stones, and the speed of converting it into true essence was much slower. It took a total of four middle-grade spirit stones to restore the true essence in his body.

He slowly opened his eyes. It was midnight. The sky was full of stars and a full moon was hanging high, casting a moonlight like water, illuminating the dead and silent sea.

Chen Yuan still looked like a skeleton evil ghost, but his eyes were extremely bright. The damage to his soul had also been repaired a lot in the past few days.

The power of space mainly acted on his flesh, and his soul was less injured. He could recover on his own without special means.

This was due to Chen Yuan's consciousness far exceeding that of the cultivators of the same level. A drop of ink could pollute the clear water in a pen washer, but it could not pollute a basin of clear water. For other cultivators, the extremely serious injury was only a minor injury to him.

All the consciousness and true essence had been restored. The next step was to restore the essence and blood.

Chen Yuan stood up, took out the brocade bag from his arms, and poured out the jade.

The jade gave off a faint green light, and the stars in the sky shone together, converging into a silver beam of light, falling from the sky and enveloping him.

A cool and numb feeling surged into his heart. Chen Yuan closed his eyes slightly, enjoying a moment of comfort. After thirty breaths, the starlight dissipated, and the green light on the jade pendant disappeared.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and the lake of true essence in his dantian, which had been restored with great effort, became dry again.

But this price was worth it. Chen Yuan's nearly exhausted blood essence recovered a little.

His body regained a bit of vitality, and his strength increased a lot. Finally, he was no longer like a skeleton.

"My blood essence was too severely depleted, and my recovery ability after the starlight infusion has also weakened a lot. But as long as I accumulate 10% of my blood essence, I will recover faster."

"And as long as I recover 30% of my blood essence, my strength will be restored by half. I can follow the path in the memory of Master Qingyou, leave the Sea of ​​​​Silence, and then recuperate. This is the right way..."

Chen Yuan's thoughts flowed in his mind, and he sat down again, took out two medium-grade spirit stones, and continued to restore his true essence.

...

A year passed quickly, and Chen Yuan's blood essence finally recovered to 30%.

His figure was still very thin, and he looked sick and pale, but it was much better than his previous appearance like a skeleton evil ghost.

He still couldn't perform the secret art of the giant spirit body, but his strength had recovered to 100,000 pounds, comparable to a fourth-level monster.

After nearly half a year of nurturing, the silver sword, the blue flying sword, and the small tripod spirit weapon obtained from the white ape could be used at will in the battle.

Ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivators were not Chen Yuan's opponents.

He didn't waste any more time, took out a high-quality spirit boat, left the island, and flew west along the path in the memory of Master Qingyou.

This spirit boat was obtained by Chen Yuan from other cultivators. After the Duyun Boat disintegrated, he needed a flying spirit weapon to travel, so he sacrificed and refined this boat, and nurtured it for several months, and it was as easy as using an arm.

The starlight infusion and the nourishment of spiritual tools all consume true essence, and there is no spiritual energy in the Silent Sea. In a year, even if Chen Yuan did not practice, he consumed hundreds of medium-grade spiritual stones.

When flying in the Silent Sea, the speed of true essence consumption is much faster than in the outside world, and it can only be replenished with spiritual stones.

In the memory of Master Qingyou, no cultivator has ever encountered other creatures in the Silent Sea.

But Chen Yuan is cautious by nature. While flying, he holds two medium-grade spiritual stones in his hands, constantly absorbing spiritual energy and converting them into true essence to keep the true essence lake in his dantian full.

He flew all the way, day and night, and the medium-grade spiritual stones turned into powder one by one.

The Silent Sea was still dead silent, the sea water seemed to be solidified, and there was no life on the few islands.

Chen Yuan flew for half a month, flying more than 5,000 miles, without encountering a cultivator or a demon beast.

In order to reduce the consumption of true essence, his flying speed was not fast, slower than that of ordinary cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

Moreover, his blood and essence in his body had only recovered to 30%, and he needed true essence to nourish his body and maintain his vitality, so he could not consume true essence at will.

In addition, Chen Yuan had few medium-grade spirit stones in his hand, and he had to use them sparingly.

He consumed more than 100 medium-grade spirit stones on the island, and only more than 70 were left.

The spiritual energy of low-grade spirit stones was thin, and the high-grade spirit stones were too precious. These more than 70 medium-grade spirit stones had to be carefully calculated to support him to leave the Silent Sea.

Half a month later, Chen Yuan had only more than 40 medium-grade spirit stones in his hand.

He flew for more than half a month, flying more than 5,000 miles, and there were less than 10 medium-grade spirit stones in his hand. The Silent Sea also slowly changed.

The Silent Sea along the way was all turbid light gray, and the silence was frozen.

But the sea water here became much clearer, no longer dead silent, and began to flow slowly.

Chen Yuan flew out more than 3,000 miles, and there were only two medium-grade spirit stones left, but he could no longer use them.

The sea water here turned light blue, and a thin spiritual energy appeared in the world. He finally came to the edge of the Silent Sea.

After Chen Yuan flew out for more than a thousand miles, the spiritual energy of the world became much richer, the sea water turned azure blue, surging, waves splashing, fish swimming under the sea, and several islands appeared around, covered with green trees and flowers, and seabirds soaring in the sky, full of vitality.

But there were no mortals living on the island, let alone cultivators, and the spiritual energy of the world was only slightly richer than that in the Silent Sea, and even not as good as that of Qi.

Chen Yuan continued to fly forward, and after more than a thousand miles, the spiritual energy of the world became extremely rich, even comparable to a micro spiritual vein, far exceeding that of Qi.

Chen Yuan was delighted. This was the concentration of spiritual energy that Jiuxianzhou should have.

On this huge continent, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world was comparable to that of micro spiritual veins. Small spiritual veins were also quite common. Only medium and large spiritual veins were relatively rare.

With such unique conditions, the number of cultivators in Jiuxianzhou far exceeded that of Donghuazhou, and the difficulty of cultivation was greatly reduced, and countless talented cultivators emerged.

Chen Yuan slowed down his speed, slowly flew dozens of miles, and stopped on a deserted island.

He was not injured yet, so it was not suitable for him to deal with other cultivators. It would not be too late to go to the market after his blood and essence were fully restored.
