Chapter 275 Revisiting the Dark Forest, First Encounter with Han Li!
Chapter 275 Revisiting the Dark Forest, First Encounter with Han Li!
The cultivators within the clan, especially the younger generation, all put in their best effort to cultivate, preparing for the clan's small and large competitions two and four years from now.
Among them, Zhang Xuanyue, Zhang Wanjun, and Zhang Xuanlong are the favorites to win the family competition.
Four years later, Zhang Xuanming will undoubtedly be the champion of the family competition.
After receiving spiritual energy back, Zhang Xuanming's cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining, and he was currently in seclusion breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Originally, Su Muyan had a chance to compete with Zhang Xuanming, but now that she is pregnant, she has lost that opportunity.
Zhang Xuanbing and Zhang Xuanchen will not participate in this family competition.
Because there's no need for that.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Forest.
Zhang Xuanchen used his memories to directly arrive above that small world.
Unlike the Spirit-Severing Cliff, which is unable to circulate spiritual energy.
You can circulate spiritual energy by going down from here, but the further down you go, the more difficult it becomes to circulate spiritual energy.
But it can still save a lot of time.
The Great Sage, perched on Zhang Xuanchen's shoulder, looked at this familiar place with disdain in his eyes.
He said, "I never thought I'd be back here one day."
Having been imprisoned in that small world below for so many years, his impression of this place was absolutely terrible.
Seeing the Great Sage's expression, Zhang Xuanchen smiled and comforted him:
"This time, that space can't hold you back."
Moreover, this space contains a fourth-order spiritual vein, making it an excellent place for secluded cultivation. If possible in the future...
I'd also like to move it to Xuanxiao Mountain.
You shouldn't harbor such hostility towards this place.
"Alright, alright, let's go. You've said it so many times along the way." The Great Sage replied and then jumped down into the narrow crevice first.
Zhang Xuanchen smiled helplessly, looked at Luo Lingshuang, and said gently:
"Shuang'er, the area below is a spiritually impenetrable zone. The further you go down, the more blocked the flow of spiritual energy in your body will become."
So don't worry, just follow me.
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang nodded and said, "Okay."
It's truly unexpected that there's a small world with a fourth-order spiritual vein deep within this eerie, spirit-suppressing zone.
"And you even found it, Brother Chen? Was it because of your special physique that you sensed it?"
"Yes, but even though this place is secluded, we still need to be careful."
In case someone else discovers this place, it will give us a chance to react.
"Uh-huh."
After exchanging a few words, the two flew down one after the other.
As time went on, the two sensed that their meridians seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force.
It's becoming increasingly congested.
At first, it could fly, but in the middle level, it could only use its spiritual energy to jump back and forth.
Once you reach the lower levels, you can only slowly climb down.
This journey took the two of them half a day.
The Great Sage had been waiting outside the cave for a long time. Seeing Zhang Xuanchen approach, he leaped onto his shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Xuan Chen, there is an unfamiliar aura and smell here."
Someone came here after we left that day!
That guy might still be in this space. Should we go in?
Without a second thought, Zhang Xuanchen said directly, "Let's go in. We were the ones who discovered this place first."
Why can't I get in?
Great Sage, Mysterious Mirror, Little Lotus, and Frost are ready.
If anything goes wrong, don't hold back, kill them!
As soon as he finished speaking, three mid-grade third-tier spirit talismans instantly appeared in his hand.
With a serious expression, he pushed aside the giant rock blocking the entrance to the small world.
He exchanged a glance with Luo Lingshuang, then stepped inside.
Suddenly everything went white, and the two people and the monkey appeared in the small world.
The moment Zhang Xuanchen entered, he saw a young man with an ordinary face sitting cross-legged on a futon, cultivating.
Floating in front of him was a small blue bottle emitting a blue light.
A pale blue liquid was visible on it.
It's clearly a rare treasure.
Before Zhang Xuanchen could think further, a mid-grade third-tier array—the Azure Sun Profound Fire Array—rose up beneath his feet!
As the array patterns lit up, a surge of flames suddenly exploded around it.
Ten thousand azure fireballs instantly condensed and hurtled towards Zhang Xuanchen, Luo Lingshuang, and the Great Sage.
At the critical moment, Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang decisively activated the pre-prepared mid-grade third-tier defensive talisman.
An energy shield enveloped the two of them.
It blocked the fireball's attack.
The Great Sage, on the other hand, chose to tough it out.
His body instantly grew to twenty zhang in length, and he roared:
"A trivial skill!"
His fists were covered in a layer of crimson-gold light as he punched the incoming fireballs one after another.
"Fellow Daoist, if you don't stop the formation from operating, you will become our enemy." Zhang Xuanchen looked sharply at Han Li, who had opened his eyes.
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
The fact that the opponent possesses a powerful treasure, yet the intelligence reports from afar failed to provide any warning, indicates that this young man at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage has a trump card up his sleeve.
And it is a trump card that allows it to escape from them.
That's why Zhang Xuanchen said those words.
Otherwise, the other party will have nothing left.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Han Li pondered for a moment and immediately turned the array plate in his hand, stopping the operation of the Qingyang Profound Fire Array.
The person before them was, without a doubt, the one who had taken the spiritual object from this space.
Surprisingly, a mid-stage Tier 3 monkey demon was protecting him.
They're not easy to deal with.
He does have a trump card up his sleeve, but he can't use it easily.
If he expends several of them, he'll be in trouble when he encounters members of the Ancient Blade Sect in the future.
He said, "I'm truly sorry, fellow Daoists."
I was being hunted down by members of the Ancient Blade Sect and accidentally escaped to this place.
When I arrived here, I saw that it was in a mess and assumed that it was an abandoned land that no one wanted. Since it was relatively secluded, I decided to use it as a place to retreat and heal my wounds.
That's why they set up an array at the cave entrance to prevent the Ancient Blade Sect from chasing after them.
I sincerely apologize for causing such a disturbance to you two fellow Daoists.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Zhang Xuanchen chuckled and replied, "Then you are indeed wrong, fellow Daoist."
This is not unclaimed land; it's a treasure trove with a fourth-tier spiritual vein. How could I possibly give it up so easily?
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Han Li said with a forced smile:
"In that case, I, Han, will take my leave now."
He naturally wouldn't easily give up this small world, but with that mid-stage third-tier monkey around, he was simply avoiding its sharp edge for now.
There will be plenty of opportunities to take it back in the future.
There's no need to rush.
Just as he took a few steps forward, Zhang Xuanchen's lips curled up slightly.
He said, "Wait."
Fellow Daoist Han, you cannot leave now.
My fiancée needs to break through to the Golden Core stage here. I'm worried about you leaving.
What if you bring your men and trap us like turtles in a jar?
