Chapter 144 Wangchuan River Bottom

"What do you mean by that?"

Miao Qing didn't expect that even after he'd put it so bluntly, Chen Xiao still wouldn't give him any face.

"My meaning is, I'm not going to let you go back to report me!"

Chen Xiao never intended to let him live, so why would he bother to spare his feelings?

"Hmph, if your real body were here, I might be a bit wary of you. But you're just a body formed from condensed divine sense, and you think you can kill me?"

Miao Qing was also enraged, and said with a look of arrogance.

"Heh..."

Chen Xiao had already said enough nonsense. He reached into Miao Qing's dantian and crushed his nascent soul.

Miao Qing died.

Watching his master's body fall to the ground like a limp noodle, the black rat was both angry and frightened. It bared its teeth at Chen Xiao, but didn't dare to move.

"I hate rats the most..."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Xiao slapped the black rat to death.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao's figure became indistinct in the air, turning into strands of divine sense that returned to his main body, far away in Shanhai Yi Pin.

After breaking through the sixth cycle of the Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea, Chen Xiao's divine sense had greatly improved.

Not only could he condense it into a solid body like Zhu Hanshan, but in a normal state, his divine sense covered an entire football field.

Within the area covered by his divine sense, he could see everything clearly, and no movement could escape his notice.

So the black rat thought it was hiding well, but it had actually been targeted by Chen Xiao long ago.

After killing Miao Qing, Chen Xiao had formed grudges with three hidden sects.

This meant that in a year, he would likely face a joint attack from these three major hidden sects.

With Chen Xiao's current strength, it wouldn't be difficult to survive their attacks, but defeating the three major hidden sects wouldn't be easy.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao still had a year to develop.

Once he broke through the seventh cycle of the Nine Revolutions of the Azure Sea, he would have nothing to fear.

Not to mention a few hidden sects, even if the entire Immortal Hidden World mobilized, Chen Xiao wouldn't care.

However, breaking through to the seventh cycle within a year would not be easy.

After all, in that spiritual energy-rich world in his dream, Chen Xiao had taken a full century to break through to the seventh cycle.

After waking up, he had only spent less than a year breaking through to the sixth cycle, but that was because of various fortuitous encounters and the foundation he had laid in his dream.

So without even greater opportunities, breaking through to the seventh cycle was almost impossible.

But Chen Xiao wasn't worried. Even if he didn't break through to the seventh cycle, he would still be able to protect himself.

Moreover, he still had a huge opportunity to complete, which was to collect the five Holy Relics and open the Immortal Emperor's tomb.

Chen Xiao wasn't completely clueless about this. At least he knew that there was a Holy Relic beneath the lava of Icefire Island.

One must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. Although Chen Xiao didn't have much time, he wouldn't rush things.

If he did everything well, the result wouldn't be too bad.

After returning home, Chen Xiao called Lin Jie and asked her about the house acquisition.

"It's almost done, almost done! We've already settled several, and I estimate that we'll be able to complete everything by tomorrow morning."

Lin Jie on the other end of the phone gave Chen Xiao a satisfactory answer.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Lin! You've worked hard!"

Chen Xiao thanked her, thinking that Sister Lin was quite efficient.

However, the smooth progress of the matter actually had little to do with Lin Jie. Chen Xiao's acquisition, without regard for cost, was naturally efficient.

Since the house acquisition was almost complete, Chen Xiao decided to use the Azure Wood Spiritual Seed to set up a Spirit Dispersion Array.

Although the Azure Wood Spiritual Seed was a magical treasure, Chen Xiao hadn't figured out how to use it.

As it stood, it seemed to have no other use besides continuously emitting Azure Wood spiritual energy.

Of course, even that alone was already awesome.

However, Chen Xiao still felt that it had other uses, but figuring them out might require some conditions or opportunities.

So before that, rather than carrying it around, it was better to let it play a greater role.

Chen Xiao went to the basement. The Spirit Gathering Array, the Spirit Guiding Array, and other small arrays were all operating in an orderly manner.

Adding a Spirit Dispersion Array among them wasn't too complicated.

After working for a few hours, Chen Xiao set up the Spirit Dispersion Array and perfectly integrated it into the entire array system.

The Spirit Dispersion Array would continuously generate Azure Wood spiritual energy, which would nourish the land together with the Dragon Vein spiritual energy.

Before long, large tracts of blessed land would appear on the surface, and they would be even more powerful than the blessed land of the Medicine King Valley.

As the saying goes, it's not the thief who steals, but the thief who has his eye on you that you should fear.

Chen Xiao was turning this land into a paradise, with a spiritual energy concentration several times, or even dozens of times, higher than the outside world. It would be hard not to attract attention.

So he had to strengthen the protection measures for the entire Shanhai Yi Pin, not only with arrays, but also with people.

The people he could use now were Gongsun Yi, Lin Zicong, Gu Zhendong and his daughter, and the people from Medicine King Valley.

Their strength was already considered top-notch in the secular world, but in Chen Xiao's eyes, it was completely insufficient.

Moreover, this world was full of extraordinary people and strange talents. Who knew what kind of expert might appear to launch a sneak attack when he wasn't home?

So they had to become stronger in order to protect this land.

This was not only Chen Xiao's home, but also their home!

Just as Chen Xiao was thinking about how to further improve their strength, the Stone Spirit suddenly appeared in front of him, swaying its big head.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up. That's right, he had forgotten about this guy.

This guy was a natural spiritual body, and its strength ceiling was much higher than everyone else's.

Just as Chen Xiao was preparing to lure it into learning some powerful cultivation techniques, he saw it swaying its big head and saying, "Chen Xiao, Prince Luling asked me to bring you a message."

"Hmm?"

Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback. "What message?"

"He said, if you want to collect all the Holy Relics, you have to go to two more places."

The Stone Spirit blinked its bronze bell-like eyes. "Those two places are the bottom of Wangchuan River and the Abyss of Mount Jiuyi."

"Bottom of Wangchuan River? Abyss of Mount Jiuyi? What are those places?"

Chen Xiao looked blank. He knew that Mount Jiuyi was located in the Xiangnan area of ​​China.

The Abyss of Mount Jiuyi might be related to this Mount Jiuyi.

But what the hell was the bottom of Wangchuan River?

The Wangchuan River, also known as Naihe, was the boundary between the Yellow Springs Road and the underworld.

But the problem was, the Wangchuan River was simply a mythical fabrication. It didn't exist in reality at all.

Chen Xiao was about to ask the Stone Spirit what else Prince Luling had told it.

However, after the Stone Spirit yawned, swaying its big head, it curled up at Chen Xiao's feet and fell asleep...
