At the border of Nanxiang Prefecture and Guangzhao Prefecture, there is a chain of mountains.
Everyone familiar with this place knows that this mountain range does not fall under the jurisdiction of either Nanxiang Prefecture or Guangzhao Prefecture.
Because this is the territory of the Five-Star Sect, Extre Wing Sect.
When it cos to a sect of the Five-Star level, they can completely claim their own territory, and even the official authority of Star Continent can’t say much.
Officially, the various prefectures on Star Continent are organized by the authorities, but in reality, it’s just a loose managent alliance, making it easier to serve the powerful ones.
And a Five-Star Sect is undoubtedly a mighty existence.
Even an average prefecture master has a lower status than the leader of these Five-Star Sects.
Of course, the main reason for discussing status is still strength.
After all, the average ruler of a prefecture is rely at the Heaven Following Realm to Higher Heaven Realm. In contrast, a Five-Star Sect has Zuitian Realm powerhouses stationed.
Any Zuitian Realm powerhouse is an absolutely terrifying existence.
As long as they wish, it would be easy to annihilate a prefecture.
For a Zuitian Realm powerhouse, ordinary cities could be wiped out with a wave of their hand.
However, for a sect, such destructive powerhouses are the foundation and are generally not deployed easily.
Therefore, for a sect, their core strength is still the Heaven Following Realm.
The Higher Heaven Realm acts as a suppressive force.
The ones truly fighting for the sect are the Heaven Following Realm strong. For a Five-Star Sect, every Heaven Following Realm mber is their truly valuable power.
Daai Yan is the most outstanding elder among these valuable powers of the Extre Wing Sect.
His cultivation has reached the peak of the Heaven Following Realm and may break through to the Higher Heaven Realm at any mont, so his status is highly valued by the Extre Wing Sect.
Currently, Daai Yan is sitting in his courtyard, and his face, already sowhat sullen and grim, appears even more sinister now.
"Haven’t you found the guy who killed my disciple yet?" In front of Daai Yan, a nervous disciple of the Envy Heaven Realm from the Extre Wing Sect was carefully reporting to him. As Daai Yan listened, his expression beca increasingly unpleasant.
"Useless!"
With a single palm strike, the Envy Heaven Realm disciple was instantly swept away by a violent wind, landing heavily on the ground with blood trickling from his mouth.
However, he dared not complain, instead struggled to his feet and respectfully kneeled before Daai Yan.
As a disciple of the Extre Wing Sect, he knew very clearly the identity of Elder Daai before him.
After years of fighting for the sect, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Heaven Following Realm, and his thods are ruthless and fierce, often silencing others by death.
Even within the Extre Wing Sect, there have been countless disciples who died at Daai Yan’s hands, yet he has never been rumored to have faced severe punishnt.
In other words, if Daai Yan really wanted his life, even killing him would result in no consequences for Daai Yan. He was rely an ordinary disciple of the Extre Wing Sect, with his current Envy Heaven Realm cultivation reached only after many years of cultivation, incomparable to such a high-status elder as Daai Yan.
"Relay my order, conduct a large-scale manhunt for this person around all the prefectures surrounding Nanxiang Prefecture. If this person is not killed, I will not rest! As for the other matters, I will personally discuss them with the sect leader." Daai Yan coldly stated.
"Yes, Elder Daai!" The Envy Heaven Realm disciple respectfully responded, then quickly retreated.
It wasn’t until he left Daai Yan’s courtyard that he slightly breathed a sigh of relief. Communicating with soone so bloodthirsty was indeed a task of imnse pressure.
Watching the departing Envy Heaven Realm disciple, Daai Yan sneered: "I don’t know how the sect could raise such trash."
"Once I discuss with the sect leader, I’ll personally go find this guy. I’m curious to see exactly who it is that dared to kill my disciple!"
Standing up, an eerie glint flickered across Daai Yan’s face: "This matter seems related to that little bitch surnad Yin from Nanxiang Prefecture. If I can’t find that damn thing, I’ll go to Nanxiang Prefecture and collect so interest first!"
With a wave of his hand, Daai Yan’s figure vanished from the courtyard, speeding towards the main peak where the sect leader of the Extre Wing Sect was located.
...
Li Chen evidently did not know what was happening in the Extre Wing Sect, but he realized that if he didn’t rest soon, he might really collapse.
After observing his surroundings and confirming that no one was around, Li Chen adjusted his direction a bit and flew toward a remote, desolate mountain not far away.
Upon reaching the desolate mountain, Li Chen imdiately found a concealed spot, dug a hole, and burrowed inside.
"Pfft!"
Once again, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Not daring to hesitate any longer, he fed himself a few pills and began circulating Qi to heal his injuries.
This ti, the injury was indeed quite severe, and with his current cultivation, the pills he used in the Lower Realm had beco almost ineffective.
After reaching the Heavenly Level of cultivation, only Heavenly Pills can effectively heal injuries. Fortunately, when Li Chen left Baiyue City, he spared no expense to buy so pills, including healing ones.
As he swallowed the pills, Li Chen quickly circulated Qi to dissolve the dicinal power, and his wounds gradually started to heal.
Looking at the gaping hole in his shoulder, the intense pain continuously assaulted Li Chen’s mind. If he had not been accustod to such excruciating pain, he might have fainted long ago.
After entering the Heavenly Level of cultivation, even the hyper regeneration cells seed to be significantly less effective. After all, the attacks from Heaven-level experts contain True Yuan’s tearing force and the damage of laws, which cannot be healed by re physical regeneration alone.
Perhaps, when Li Chen’s cultivation reaches a higher level, this hyper regeneration ability will completely lose its function.
"Alas." With a sigh, Li Chen understood that with the advancent of his cultivation, this was sothing inevitable. He used these miraculous abilities to dominate in the Lower Realm, but this is the Heaven Realm, where Heaven-level experts roam wildly everywhere, and the Heaven Realm is countless tis bigger than the Lower Realm.
His miraculous thods were nothing extraordinary here.
As he healed and swallowed pills, Li Chen felt sowhat distressed.
The resources needed for his cultivation were already incredibly terrifying, and the price of these pills was astonishing. Though he successfully overca the ordeal this ti, he didn’t get any benefits from Lang Youjie and the others, not even a single ring. If things continued this way, Li Chen estimated he would go bankrupt after just a few more fights.
"This won’t do. I can’t continue like this. I must figure out a way to earn so spirit crystals." A contemplative look appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.
In his view, spirit crystals were like money in the Lower Realm.
For him, money from the Lower Realm was clearly aningless. However, in the Heaven Realm, it was different; without spirit crystals, he reckoned he couldn’t continue cultivating.
Although the spiritual energy in the Heaven Realm is much denser than in the Lower Realm, the difficulty of cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Level increases as well. Not only does it require comprehension, but the consumption of resources is also incredibly terrifying... even more so for him.
Without spirit crystals, let alone searching for the Past-Dust Fruit and Past-Events Flower; even if he did acquire them, without enough strength, they would undoubtedly be snatched away.
During his ti in the Heaven Realm, Li Chen had beco increasingly thorough in his understanding of the jungle law here.
"That’s it!"
As if recalling sothing, Li Chen took out an Alchemy Scroll, his eyes revealing a contemplative look.
"The price of pills in the Heaven Realm is astonishing. If I could beco a Heavenly Pill Alchemist, maybe..." As he pondered, Li Chen’s eyes began to shine.
After spending three days, Li Chen managed to fully heal his injuries and took out spirit crystals to start cultivating again.
Li Chen was surprised to find that after the battle, his originally unstable cultivation had completely stabilized. With the extravagant consumption of a large number of spirit crystals, his cultivation had even improved a bit.
Although he was still far from breaking through to the Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage, it was still no small gain.
After confirming that he could not break through in a short ti, Li Chen did not continue closed-door cultivation but instead took out the Alchemy Scroll and began carefully studying it.
"In the myriad of great ways, all paths return to one, who says the way of pills can’t lead to Dao?"
The opening of the Alchemy Scroll startled Li Chen. He didn’t know who left this scroll, but the tone was astonishingly grand, starting with an intention to achieve Dao through alchemy.
Li Chen, naturally, did not know what ’Dao’ was. For soone who grew up in the modern world, this concept, though mystical sounding, was still too vague and elusive.
The most important thing for him now was to improve his cultivation, and of course, the prerequisite for that was to first earn so cultivation resources, the rest... he would leave for later.
No matter how boastful the person who wrote this Alchemy Scroll was, the contents of the scroll were still quite detailed.
It included the dicinal properties of various herbs, alchemy techniques, and even the control of fire, all recorded in great detail.
As Li Chen flipped through it, he felt sothing was off.
Weren’t items in the Heaven Realm recorded using jade slips? Why did this person use such a scroll to write about alchemy?
Thinking about it, Li Chen suddenly tried to tug at the Alchemy Scroll, but to his shock, he found he couldn’t tear it.
Hurriedly, Li Chen applied more force and tugged again, but still couldn’t tear it.
"What on earth is this made of?" Li Chen knew full well how strong he was. Even at the Earth Level, his strength was one of his greatest advantages, not to ntion he was now in the Mid-Heaven Realm, yet when he exerted all his strength, he couldn’t even tear this seemingly worn-out piece of parchnt.
"This thing is a treasure!" Instinctively glancing towards the entrance of the cave, Li Chen realized he had stumbled upon sothing valuable.
