Chapter 2061
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: This place must hold something completely different from other areas.
He flew through the air at a leisurely pace, spreading his divine sense like a spiderweb, carefully probing the movements within a radius of over ten thousand miles. But the further he flew, the heavier his unease became—this place was too peaceful, abnormally peaceful.
Logically, such a paradise should be filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, chirping insects, and roaring beasts, brimming with life. But since he stepped into this airspace, apart from himself and Bai Li wrapped around his arm, he could not sense the presence of any living creature, not even a trace of the spirit of plants.
Inside the inner palace, the small tower was busy merging with its base, its constant buzzing vibrations keeping it completely oblivious to him. Helpless, Chen Xuan could only explore the path ahead alone, cautiously observing his surroundings.
The white glass wrapped around his left arm seemed to sense the strangeness of this space. Its small, jet-black body shrank further into his sleeve, leaving only its little head timidly peeking out. Its big, dark eyes darted around nervously as it looked around. Even the tip of its tail was taut, clearly frightened.
"Master, Bai Li is so scared..." Bai Li's voice trembled slightly, "I feel like something is strange here, and I'm really panicking."
Chen Xuan looked down at it, reached out and gently rubbed its little head, feeling the soft touch on his fingertips.
He didn't want to stay in this strange place any longer. With a flick of his palm, a long sword gleaming with a chilling black light appeared out of thin air—it was the Northern Darkness Sword. The terrifying aura surrounding the sword seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xuan raised his hand and swung his sword.
"Swoosh—"
A silver-white sword beam tore through the sky like a thunderbolt, slashing straight towards the direction of the greatest perceived threat. Wherever the beam touched, even the void itself cracked, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through thousands of miles, heading straight for the distant sky.
call out!call out!call out!
Immediately afterwards, several more sword beams were unleashed in succession, each carrying the power to tear the sky apart, causing the void in front to tremble repeatedly. Strangely, however, the severed void healed itself in an instant, leaving not even the slightest ripple, nor any sign of triggering any formations or ambushes.
Chen Xuan frowned even more deeply—this meant that the void before him was real, not an illusion manifested by some means.
If an enemy has set a trap here, my frenzied attacks should either reveal their presence or make them realize the extent of my strength.
If the opponent were weaker than him, they should have fled by now; if they were stronger, they should have shown themselves and surrounded him after figuring out his strength. But now, the surroundings remained deathly silent.
After a long while, Chen Xuan slowly sheathed his sword and opened his eyes, having already made up his mind—he would no longer blindly move forward.
He flipped his hand again and took out a Dao talisman that shimmered with light. The aura surrounding the talisman was terrifying, faintly revealing a power that surpassed the Void Reversal Realm.
"Whoosh—"
With a flick of his fingertip, the talisman shattered. A layer of pale blue water ripples spread out from him, the air it touched shimmering with a soft glow, completely protecting him and preventing even the slightest external aura from entering.
This talisman was a protective artifact he obtained when he killed the seven progenitors of the strange creatures. It was definitely not something that strange creatures could have crafted. Judging from its craftsmanship and aura, it seemed to be a magical artifact left behind by a human genius who broke into this world during the ancient times.
Feeling the solid protective force around him, Chen Xuan felt inexplicably calmer, but then he was puzzled: Could it be that his fully activated Sixth-Turn Battle Glazed Body was not as good as this Dao Talisman?
Although he had doubts, he didn't think about it any further. Although he had comprehended the Great Dao of Talismans, he had not delved deeply into it. In terms of the application of talismans, he was far inferior to the original owner of this talisman.
Chen Xuan sighed softly—his actual cultivation years were only a little over three hundred years. Even with the help of the small tower's spacetime flow, which allowed him to cultivate for an extra one or two thousand years, this amount of time was still too short for a top-tier Holy Land's Void Realm Saint Son.
Those top disciples of the ten holy lands outside the second line of defense of the Flame Dragon Realm, such as Qiu Zixian, Xia Jiuyou, and Yaochi Saint, have all actually cultivated for two or three thousand years, or even four or five thousand years.
If they also possessed time-space artifacts capable of increasing the flow of time, their actual cultivation years would likely have exceeded ten thousand years.
In comparison, his accumulated knowledge is simply insignificant.
He hasn't even mastered the sword path he's mainly cultivating, so how can he have the energy to delve into the development of other major paths like formations, talismans, the universe, and space?
"Sigh, this is the weakness of not having enough time to mature." Chen Xuan sighed inwardly, already planning: after this trip to the secret realm ends and he returns to the sect to distribute the treasures he has to his Daoist partners, he will find a place to go into seclusion and properly mature.
Moreover, it has been nearly two hundred years since I separated from my second primordial spirit. Presumably, my second primordial spirit and Yao'er's primordial spirit have accumulated a lot of experience traveling in the outer void. It is time to recall them and prepare to break through to the realm of the Supreme Celestial Immortal.
Once the thought was made up, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated. The Dao patterns around his body re-emerged, and his speed suddenly increased. Using his deduction of the Great Dao, he precisely locked onto a direction of least threat and sped away like a streak of light. In just a short while, he had already traversed a million miles.
Just as Chen Xuan was wondering where this strange yet peaceful area would extend, he suddenly passed through an invisible spatial barrier in front of him.
Chen Xuan was startled and immediately stopped, looking around.
After passing through this spatial barrier, the endless void ahead was completely dark and deep, like ink, resembling the endless maw of an ancient behemoth, with streams of destructive power constantly surging into its depths.
"Where is this place?" Chen Xuan wondered in surprise.
He held the sword in one hand, while his left hand rapidly made hand seals, using his own causal reasoning to deduce the danger level of this journey.
After some deduction, Chen Xuan nodded slightly and slowly flew towards the endless abyss that was constantly swallowing up the void.
“Something seemed to be calling me forward.”
The words had barely left his mouth when a thought flashed through Chen Xuan's mind, and he immediately stopped, muttering to himself, "No, this cause and effect doesn't seem to be something I caused."
