The Great Wild God - Chapter 337

Chapter 337 Sea Snake Scaled Skin
“Senior, where is this place?” Zhao Hongling asked blankly and ignorantly. Looking at the clear and translucent light in the sky, there was no sun, moon, or stars. It was definitely not the world of Cloud Continent that she was familiar with.

“Madam Du, it’s in my cave magical artifact right now.” Chen Xun said.

Some powerful cave magical artifacts were themselves a world filled with spiritual energy. Ordinary people could not see that the Void Origin Spirit Ground was undergoing new evolution all the time, so they could not tell the difference between the cave world and the spiritual world.

Chen Xun waved his hand and cast a spell. He opened a mirror in front of Zhao Hongling and reflected the scene outside the Void Origin Pearl. Only then did Zhao Hongling realize that they hadn’t left the Ghost Head Reef. They were actually in a cliff cave on the Ghost Head Reef. It was just that there was another mysterious space for the cave artifact.

Zhao Hongling did not guess that Chen Xun was hiding his identity. He was most likely hiding from enemies stronger than him, but seeing that he was hiding his whereabouts, he secretly helped the disciple of Sea Pavilion escape from the catastrophe. Knowing that he was a decent cultivator, he did not have much fear in his heart. He boldly said, “My husband mistakenly assumed that Red Silk was hiding at the bottom of the sea and was heartbroken. It would definitely affect the poisonous injuries in his body.” Hong Ling Ruo swore that she would never reveal Senior’s whereabouts to anyone. Senior, please let Hong Ling go to Ji Yue Island to reunite with her husband. ”

Chen Xun had been with Du Liangyong and Zhao Hongling for seven or eight months, and he recognized their character. Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk Zhao Hongling waking up in the Void Origin Pearl.

Zhao Hongling was able to make the Heavenly Dao Oath, which was naturally the best.

“The poison fiend in the main body of the Du Pavilion hasn’t been eliminated yet, so it’s not appropriate to travel far. Why are we rushing to Ji Yue Island this time, not hundreds of thousands of kilometers away?” Chen Xun asked curiously. Seeing Zhao Hongling’s hesitant expression, he said, “I’ll casually ask. If there’s anything inconvenient, pretend that I haven’t asked.”

“There is nothing that cannot be said to outsiders,” Zhao Hongling said. “The Crimson Star Palace discovered a secret place a few years ago. Cultivators who are proficient in the art of mechanism formations need to break the restrictions of formations. My husband was also invited by the Crimson Star Palace. Apart from my husband, there are quite a few other cultivators in Cloud Continent who have received an invitation from the Crimson Star Palace, so there is nothing to keep secret. However, they don’t know where Fan Ziya got this news. They are worried that my husband will take this opportunity to establish good relations with the Crimson Star Palace. In the future, Sea Pavilion will monopolize the sea trade between Yangquan and the Ji Yue Islands, so they will do anything to destroy it. They will even invite the disciples of Venerable Poison Dragon to secretly poison my husband … ”

After some rogue cultivators sat down, powerful formations were usually set up in the secret caves left behind outside the sect.

If these formidable formation restrictions were to be forcefully broken, the casualties would definitely be heavy.

As for these formations, there was no one to preside over them. They would only operate according to a fixed law. The changes would not be too complicated. As long as one was proficient in mechanism formations, they could slowly find out the law and break it.

It was rumored that there were three Dharma Aspect experts in the Crimson Star Palace. Their status in the Ji Yue Kingdom was as high as a god. However, the Crimson Star Palace was not famous for forging weapons. Even if there were a few artificers and array mages in the sect, it would still be extremely difficult to break the restrictions left behind by cultivators. They could only invite outside help.

Chen Xun had previously disguised himself as a True Yang Rogue Cultivator, so he naturally didn’t have the opportunity to compare notes with Du Liangyong on mechanism formations. However, looking at the arrangement of Sea Pavilion’s three ships, if it was all done by Du Liangyong, it meant that Du Liangyong was indeed skilled in mechanism formations.

The Crimson Star Palace had a high status on Ji Yue Island. If Du Liangyong succeeded in breaking the restriction of the forbidden area for the Crimson Star Palace, the relationship between the Guihai Pavilion and Ji Yue Island would be extremely close. This was definitely not what Fan Ziya wanted to see.

Chen Xun didn’t care about the grudge between Sea Pavilion and Fan Ziya. He didn’t expect that there was such a complicated story behind it. He then asked, “Why did Madam Du also go to Ji Yue Island?”

“I and good yong tong son, was born with a bad disease. My husband accepted the invitation of the Crimson Star Palace in exchange for a spirit pill refined by the Crimson Star Palace. “Breaking the restriction of the formation will take years or even decades, but Tong’er’s illness will worsen at any time. My husband will stay on Ji Yue Island for the time being, and I will return to Yang Quan immediately if I get the pill …” Zhao Hongling said.

“So that’s what happened,”

Only then did Chen Xun understand what was going on. Innate maladies were the most difficult to cure. The Life Changing Spiritual Pill was the most cherished Heaven Ranked Spiritual Pill in Cloud Continent, just like other Spiritual Pills that could change one’s cultivation aptitude. And spirit medicines such as the Stone Snake Lotus only stimulated one’s cultivation potential, one level inferior to the Heaven Ranked Spiritual Pill.

Chen Xun knew that if Du Liangyong could not successfully break the restriction of the secret ground, he would probably have to sell himself to the Crimson Star Palace to return the favor. He didn’t expect that Du Liangyong and Zhao Hongyong, as cultivators, would have such a genuine heart to love calves. He should be mentally prepared to say goodbye to Zhao Hongling.

‘”Then make your Heavenly Dao Oath. Even Pavilion Master Du has to hide the secrets of this place. Knowing too much is harmful to you and your wife. When a ship passes by, you can disguise yourself as injured and be rescued by a passing ship. When we meet again, I have other thanks …”

“Thank you, Senior, for your understanding.” Zhao Hongling bowed and immediately swore to the Heavenly Dao that she would never reveal anything she knew, nor would she probe Chen Xun’s identity and whereabouts.

Even though they were in the Void Origin Pearl, Chen Xun could still sense a trace of fluctuation in the vast Heavenly Dao.

The deeper one cultivated, the stronger the restraints of the Heavenly Dao Oath would be. If one violated the oath easily, one would suffer a great calamity from the heart demons.

Of course, if one’s cultivation was shallow, the restriction of the Grand Oath of the Heavens would be weak. It didn’t matter if a mortal pointed at the heavens and cursed his mother.

Chen Xun still believed in Du Liangyong and Zhao Hongling’s character. He knew that they were actually much more trustworthy than Song Xuanyi and the others.

Zhao Hongling would not take the initiative to reveal his secrets, and if others wanted to search for his secrets from her soul, they would also suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao Oath.

“If it’s convenient, I’d like to exchange for a detailed chart of Sea Pavilion.” Chen Xun added. Song Xuanyi and the others were in such a sorry state when they flew across the sea. It would be much more convenient if they could have a detailed nautical chart from Yang Quan to Ji Yue Island.

Zhao Hongling saw that Chen Xun still had her bag of holding. She knew that if Chen Xun wanted it, he could take it. She hurriedly took out a detailed chart from her pocket and said, “Senior helped save Sea Pavilion from the catastrophe. This chart belongs to Senior Hong Ling.”

“Earlier, my assistance was considered as the boat fare of the Guihai Pavilion. One yard for one yard, and I’m not used to owe anyone a favor.”

Chen Xun laughed heartily and put the chart into his spatial ring. He took out a sea beast’s Qi and Blood Essence Pill and handed it to Zhao Hongling. He said,

“Although this Qi and Blood Essence Pill can’t be changed from life to body, if you take it, it will be very beneficial to your cultivation, but remember one thing. You have to make up a lie.”

The corpses of the six sea beasts were all found by Chen afterwards, but even if he managed to obtain a single Qi and Blood Essence Pill, it was not considered high. However, to Zhao Hongling, whose cultivation was only at the early stage of the embryonic realm, it was a great tonic pill.

Zhao Hongling could say that the corpses of her and the sea beasts were swept together by the turbulent currents on the seabed, which was why she accidentally obtained this Sea Beast Origin Pill.

Zhao Hongling naturally knew how precious the Origin Pill was, so she couldn’t help but accept it happily and thanked him repeatedly.

Chen Xun added, “With your aptitude, you should have the potential to cultivate Spirit Essence. However, your cultivation of Dao Arts is a bit lacking, so you haven’t achieved much. I have to cover my tracks and I can’t teach you cultivation techniques. But remember, if you don’t have the chance to open nine Spirit Meridians, don’t easily break through …”

*********************

The Hai Ke Sect all had their own unique route that their disciples had explored with tears of blood. They didn’t have to go through the Ghost Head Reef to reach Ji Yue Island.

In fact, it is often unlikely that a ship will be able to pass through Guitou Reef for more than half a year.

Red Beard and the other pirates were guarding the Ghost Head Reef, so they did not open for three years and ate for three years.

After waiting for more than ten days, there was no ship passing by. Zhao Hongling was eager to reunite with Du Liangyong. Chen Xun escorted her thousands of miles away and let her board a passing ship safely before returning to Guitou Reef.

This nearby sea area was quite close to Ji Yue Island, and there were no demonic beasts that were too tyrannical. Even if he encountered a tyrannical sea beast and was forced to engage in a fierce battle at sea, there were very few cultivators around Ji Yue Island who could recognize him, so Chen Xun didn’t have much scruple in his actions.

In the next few days, Chen Xun dug out several secret holes where the Red-bearded Pirates buried their belongings on the Ghost Head Reef.

The Ji Yue Kingdom relied on the sea and obtained quite a lot of precious treasures from the nearby sea area. However, the islands lacked the materials to forge weapons, and there was also a lack of artifact forging sects that were skilled in forging weapons. The pirate secrets dug out from the Gui Tou Reef clearly reflected the characteristics of the sea trade between the Ji Yue Islands and Cloud Continent Prefectures.

Hundreds of Scarlet Essence Copper ingots weighing more than 10,000 jin, the blanks of thousands of spirit sword artifacts, a large number of sea beast scales, muscles and bones that could be used to refine magical artifacts, and large amounts of dirty copper bottles, jade bottles, and red beard pirates that could be used to refine medicinal pills had yet to find a chance to get rid of them, piling up several secret holes.

The refining materials were stored away in the Void Origin Pearl. Previously, it had consumed a lot to refine the Scarlet Sea, but this time, it was just enough to replenish it.

Chen Xun threw the blood ointment organs of some low-grade sea beasts to the Scarlet Sea, and Snake didn’t have the heart to eat them.

Scarlet Sea and Snake Wuxin hadn’t completely reached the realm of Spirit and Flesh Unity in the Void Origin Pearl, which was equivalent to the existence of a layer of acquired profound wall between the Soul Essence of the Primordial Spirit and the hundred bones of the Demon Body. However, they had already undergone some basic cultivation.

If they consumed these blood ointment artifacts, the demon body’s qi, blood, and true yang would be greatly enhanced, and they would be able to speed up their cultivation.

Old Kui, on the other hand, had to rebuild his body on the wreckage first. After forming a new Hundred Bones Aperture Meridian, he could only begin the most basic cultivation. The path was even more difficult.

However, Chen Xun forbade Scarlet Sea and Snake Wuxin from eating these blood paste artifacts. He taught them some simple pill refining methods. He used the Nine Beasts Yang Refining Furnace to combine these blood paste artifacts with some spirit herbs, refining them into medicinal pills and consuming them.

First, in order to fully absorb the True Yang medicinal properties in the blood ointment, and to further grind away the devilish nature of the Scarlet Sea and Snake’s unintentional bloodthirst, it would save him from running away and committing the great calamity of the Heavenly Dao of Man-eating.

The Red Beard pirates’ most precious treasure was a piece of sea snake skin.

The sea snake’s scaled skin was covered with dark golden demon patterns. When the scaled skin was sliced open, one could see that the demon patterns were actually three-dimensional and penetrating into every tiny part of the scaled skin …

Dark golden demon patterns were complex and abnormally profound. Chen Xun placed this sea snake scale skin into the purest green lotus flames and refined it. It would take him about twenty to thirty breaths to burn through it. He was born with the highest-grade Earth-ranked spirit armor.

Chen Xun believed that this sea snake mutant’s bloodline wasn’t any weaker than a flood dragon in the sea, and it was capable of cultivating to the level of a flood dragon. Its strength was incomparably tyrannical, and a peak Illegal Phase Realm expert or an extremely powerful sect couldn’t be killed.

It was very difficult for Chen Xun to resemble this sea snake skin that would fall into the hands of the red-bearded pirates.

Old Kui judged that this was more likely the scaled skin of a mutated sea serpent that had shed when it transformed into a flood dragon. It had accidentally been obtained by fishermen or weak forces, and it had accidentally fallen into the hands of the Red-bearded Pirates.

The entire sea snake’s scaled skin was 60 feet wide and 20 feet long. In the hands of the Tool Refining Sect, it could be made into hundreds of top-grade Earth-ranked spirit armors.

Chen Xun would not return to Mountain Parasol for a short period of time, but he thought to himself, if he used the entire Sea Snake Scaled Skin to cover the Scarlet Sea, wouldn’t it be that he didn’t even need a defensive formation? The Scarlet Sea would be able to withstand the heavy damage of a Dharma Form Realm expert?
