Chapter 754: 754

“Long Chen, we’ve already been flying for three days . Why do we have to go so far?” Meng Qi couldn’t help but ask him in the end .

“Of course it’s for safety . Once the World Piercing Jade Talisman is activated, we’ll be in the Spirit World for a month . When we return, we’ll return to our original location . So it’s best for us to get further away from the Xuantian Dao Sect . However, this distance should be enough . Let’s find a good place . Oh, that mountain valley’s not bad!”

Long Chen suddenly noticed a huge mountain valley . The craggy terrain was filled with boulders and extremely large . It was a good place .

Descending onto the ground, Meng Qi frowned . “Isn’t this place too eye-catching?”

“Hehe, if no one followed us, then considering how desolate this place is, whether or not it’s eye-catching is fine . But if there are people following us, then they have plenty of ways to find us . Even if we find a hidden place, they would still find it . ” Long Chen smiled .

“You mean…”

“Pretty much . That old ghost Shui Yuncong definitely hates me to the bone . I’m ninety percent sure he’s plotting something,” said Long Chen .

“Ah? Then what should we do?”

“It’s fine . If he wants to play a game of wits, I’ll play with him to his death . Just wait a moment while I set things up!”

Long Chen got to work . On the peak of four surrounding mountains, he set up a few things . Meng Qi didn’t know what those things were, but she knew Long Chen’s head was full of the strangest thoughts .

After setting those up, he took out a certain thing . It was the size of a chessboard and covered in lines .

“A formation disc?” asked Meng Qi .

“Yes, a formation disc . I got the monastery head to shamelessly borrow it from the vice sect master . ” Long Chen smiled . That smile was a bit wretched . Or perhaps extremely wretched .

“Long Chen, you are…”

“Hehe, it’s nothing . It’s just in case of a certain possibility . We can’t carelessly let others scheme against us . ”

Long Chen carefully buried the formation disc deep underground and then erased any marks of what he had done . Everything looked extremely normal .

He then took out sixteen rocks that emitted fierce fluctuations . He buried them in a circle several miles wide around the formation disc .

Once he buried the final rock, those powerful fluctuations immediately vanished . Even with Spiritual Strength, it was impossible to sense them .

“Alright, everything’s set up . Hopefully it’ll be useful . ” Long Chen patted his hands . “Let’s activate the World Piercing Jade Talisman . ”

The talisman appeared in his hand . Using his Spiritual Strength, he activated it . The jade’s runes lit up, and a powerful spatial strength erupted .

A translucent portal appeared in front of Long Chen . It was like a vortex, and it was impossible to see what was on the other side .

“Meng Qi, hold onto me . ”

Meng Qi was a bit nervous . She held tightly onto Long Chen, while Long Chen wrapped an arm around her waist . Taking a deep breath, he charged through that portal .

When the two of them entered the portal, they instantly disappeared . The portal also slowly disappeared; everything returned to calm .

The next day, three figures appeared here . One of them was holding a flas.h.i.+ng device .

“Yes, he activated the World Piercing Jade Talisman here . Hehe, Long Chen, you’re definitely dead now . ”

After saying that, that person left behind a mark on the ground . Then the three of them left . They didn’t realize that on some distant mountain peaks, four photographic jades were recording them .

…

Long Chen didn’t feel any powerful spatial tearing force . As soon as he stepped through the portal, he found himself in a huge forest .

Before he could carefully size up his surroundings, his heart shook and he hastily dodged to the side with Meng Qi .

Bang! A huge flower viciously bit down where they had just been .

That flower’s petals actually had sinister thorns on them . A green liquid came out of the thorns .

While Long Chen was dodging, countless vines suddenly shot out like poisonous vipers at him . They were incredibly quick and numerous . It was impossible to dodge them all .

Long Chen snorted and a flame blade turned all those vines to ash .

The vines seemed to have been frightened, and in front of Long Chen’s dumbfounded gaze, they vanished underground .

Then looking back at the flower, he found that it had disappeared as well . This place was incredibly strange . He felt a chill .

“Long Chen, didn’t you say that the Spirit World is peaceful? That the experts here are all easy-going? But this is…” Meng Qi was shocked . This fierce vegetation didn’t seem very easy-going .

“I… I don’t know . I previously encountered an expert from the Spirit World, and she really was easy to get along with!” Long Chen was looking around with a bewildered expression .

The trees here were huge, and the spiritual qi was incredibly condensed . It was the same as the scene he remembered from when the Spirit World expert had left .

The difference was that the world that expert had gone to had been full of peace and tranquility, while this place was strange and dark . It gave him a feeling that killers were everywhere, making his nerves taut .

“It really is strange . Is this not the Spirit World? It couldn’t be that Shui Yuncong tricked me!” wondered Long Chen .

Suddenly, a mosquito flew by Long Chen, and a golden petal killed it . That was Meng Qi’s soul item .

That mosquito had been the size of a chicken egg . Once it was cut in two, its mouthpiece continued forward, piercing a large tree as if it were steel . The spot where the tree was pierced immediately began to corrode .

Long Chen and Meng Qi’s expressions changed . An ordinary mosquito actually possessed such terrifying poison .

“Meng Qi, we should activate our Spiritual Strength to find a path . This place is too strange,” said Long Chen as he began to carefully advance .

This place was too dangerous . They might be injured from the slightest carelessness . This wasn’t a good omen .

“Ah, c.r.a.p, I almost forgot to leave a mark . We still have to return here!” Long Chen clapped himself on the head . He had almost forgotten such an important thing . “The forest here is too dense . Without an extremely conspicuous mark, we won’t be able to find it again . ”

Long Chen summoned a flame sphere . He tossed it into the forest, and it erupted, incinerating everything within several miles .

Although this action was a bit excessive, there was no way around it . If they couldn’t find this place again within a month, they would never be able to return .

“Meng Qi, have you started the hourgla.s.s?” asked Long Chen .

“Yes . ”

The hourgla.s.s wasn’t in her spatial ring, because s.p.a.ce was static there . It was in her spiritual s.p.a.ce and currently counting down the time they had left .

Although there was also a sun in this world, who knew whether a day was still twenty-four hours here?

After incinerating a large s.p.a.ce and also leaving a spiritual mark, the two of them once more began to carefully advance .

This place was full of high mountains and thick forests . They couldn’t see clearly here, and Long Chen didn’t dare to activate his wings and fly into the air . It was far too easy for a powerful Magical Beast to lock onto him up there .

As they advanced, Long Chen found the forest to be too terrifying . Even the insects here were berserk, and the majority of them were poisonous . As soon as they saw Long Chen, they would crazily attack .

Furthermore, even the vegetation here possessed extremely high attack power . Occasionally, they would send out attacks from underground .

It was fortunate that Meng Qi and Long Chen were both spiritual experts . They managed to avoid countless attacks as they advanced . Eventually, they got to the top of a tall mountain .

“Wow, how beautiful!” Meng Qi let out a startled cry upon seeing the scenery .

Ahead of them was a huge lake . On one side of the pool was a cliff ten miles high . A waterfall crashed down, releasing endless mist . Under the sunlight, a large rainbow was reflected in the mist .

The lake was over a hundred miles wide . It was surrounded by mountains, and it was truly incredibly beautiful . Long Chen even forgot about the previous danger and relaxed a great deal .

BOOM!

Suddenly, the sky darkened . Long Chen and Meng Qi both jumped in fright and hastily looked up . A huge figure was flying over the sky .

“A seventh rank Magical Beast!”

Meng Qi and Long Chen felt a chill . It was a good thing they had kept their auras concealed this entire time . If they were noticed by such a powerful Magical Beast, they would be doomed .

“It has a horn on its head, and its claws have scales . This should be the ancient Azure Scale Horned Eagle . It is rumored that it possesses the dragon eagle’s bloodline, and it is incredibly powerful, almost unrivaled within the same realm!” said Meng Qi .

“So you mean it’s extremely powerful?” Long Chen was enticed .

“Yes, it truly is powerful . Its wings are like iron and its claws like steel . It can tear through s.p.a.ce, and most terrifying of all, as a wind attribute Magical Beast, its speed is unrivaled . This is an offensively powerful Magical Beast,” praised Meng Qi .

“If it’s this strong, then let’s capture it as a housepet for you . ” Long Chen clenched his fists .

Meng Qi jumped . “A seventh rank Magical Beast that possesses an ancient bloodline is an existence that can even challenge the vice sect master! Long Chen, don’t mess around . Even if we can defeat a seventh rank Magical Beast, with my current Spiritual Strength, I can’t possibly subdue it!”

“Hehe, didn’t I manage to seduce a heavenly fairy like you? Nothing’s impossible . Trust me, we can definitely do this!” said Long Chen .

“We should first see what it’s doing . Perhaps its lair is nearby . ” Long Chen and Meng Qi kept a close eye on the eagle . They saw it fly directly to the lake .
