Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

The fully activated life gate, after losing its subsequent energy support and sensing that the target had left, quickly dimmed its light, and the spatial fluctuations disappeared, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating in the air.

Only Luo Qingchen, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was left, the shattered star core on the verge of collapse, and the fissure ghost that roared angrily but seemed to be more interested in the star core, in this chaotic and desperate situation...

Do not!
Just when the life gate disappeared and Luo Qingchen was about to be swallowed by the strange shadow of the crack or the completely collapsed star core energy!
Mutations reborn!

The dim "little turtle shell" that had been falling beside Su Xiaowan suddenly lit up again! This time, it did not emit any light, but turned directly into a stream of light and instantly stuck to Luo Qingchen's chest!
Immediately afterwards, an invisible force of space enveloped Luo Qingchen!

brush!
Luo Qingchen's figure also disappeared instantly!

Only the shadow in the crack was left, facing the shattered star core that was about to explode, and it let out a roar that seemed to be filled with a hint of surprise and boundless anger...

The feeling of traveling through the colorful light gate is completely different from the previous teleportation through the pillar of starlight. There is no violent space turbulence, no twisted and torn scenes, only a warm and soft sense of wrapping, as if immersed in the arms of a mother, surrounded by flowing, gorgeous light bands, quiet and peaceful.

Lin Wan'er hugged Bai Ling'er tightly, and with her other hand she held tightly onto the semi-conscious Su Xiaowan, but her heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.

Senior Brother Luo...how is he?

At the last moment when the Life Gate was activated, she saw Senior Brother Luo's determination that almost burned his soul, and saw him fall down. The Life Gate closed too quickly, and she had no time to look back to confirm.

Did he...stay there?
This thought was like a poisonous snake gnawing at her heart, making her feel suffocated. Tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably and slid down her pale cheeks.

"Wu... Senior Brother Luo..." Su Xiaowan beside him also regained some consciousness. Although her body was extremely weak, she was not completely unaware of what had just happened. She also saw Luo Qingchen's final condition and was crying at this moment. Her small hands tightly grasped Lin Wan'er's sleeves, "He... he will be okay, right? Wuwu... it's all my fault... my tortoise shell... was useless in the end..."

She was immersed in self-blame and fear and did not notice at all that while she was unconscious, the tortoise shell that she treasured so much had left on its own and taken Luo Qingchen with it.

Lin Wan'er took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Now was not the time to be sad. She had to cheer up and protect Ling'er and Xiaowan. Senior Brother Luo was so strong and determined, there must be a way!

What she didn't know was that at this moment, Luo Qingchen was wrapped in the mysterious tortoise shell, undergoing an unknown space teleportation that was completely unplanned. The soft light emitted by the tortoise shell enveloped him, not only isolating the external space fluctuations, but also a warm, thick, and vibrant energy that was slowly seeping into his body, nourishing his chaotic origin that was on the verge of breaking and his injured soul. This energy was different from the pure earth defense power that the tortoise shell had previously erupted. It was more restrained and focused more on repair and nurturing.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a moment, maybe eternity.

The colorful light that enveloped Lin Wan'er and the other two gradually dissipated, and a fresh air with the fragrance of grass and trees and a faint scent of starlight rushed into the nostrils.

Pfft!
The three of them fell simultaneously onto a patch of soft, carpet-like grass.

Lin Wan'er ignored her own weakness and pain and immediately checked Bai Ling'er in her arms. The little girl was still unconscious, but her complexion seemed to be better than when she was in the core of the giant tower, and her breathing was much more stable. The leaf of the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass between her eyebrows was still dull, but it was not completely withered, as if the environment here was not so repulsive to her.

This made Lin Wan'er feel a little relieved. She raised her head and looked around.

This is a peaceful and beautiful forest. The towering ancient trees are lush and leafy, and the treetops are dotted with strange flowers that sparkle like stars, emitting a soft light that illuminates the night in the forest. The air is filled with rich wood spirit and a kind of... strange star power, which is completely different from the chaotic, violent, and destructive energy in Guixu. The star power here is gentle, pure, and even has a hint of nourishing all things.

In the distance, the outline of rolling mountains can be vaguely seen, and under the reflection of the stars, they look like sleeping beasts. Deep in the forest, there are occasional clear and melodious bird calls or animal roars, which are full of vitality.

"Where...is this place?" Su Xiaowan also struggled to sit up, rubbing her still dizzy head, and looked around curiously, "Are we...out? Out of that damn place?"

She subconsciously reached for her chest, but found nothing.

"Huh? Where's my turtle shell?!" Su Xiaowan's eyes widened immediately, with panic written all over her face, "My precious turtle shell is gone!!"

She quickly searched for it on her body and the surrounding grass, almost crying in anxiety: "How could it be gone? It was clearly there just now! Such a big light shield! Sister Wan'er, have you seen my tortoise shell?"

Lin Wan'er looked at her anxious expression, and her heart moved. She recalled the scene before the life gate closed, and the incredible power that the turtle shell finally burst out. She had a vague guess, but she was not sure, and did not want to make Su Xiaowan more worried, so she could only comfort her: "Don't worry, Xiaowan, maybe it was accidentally left behind during the transmission, or... it went somewhere else. That turtle shell is extraordinary, maybe..."

Before she could finish her words, the space not far away suddenly distorted slightly.

brush!
A figure appeared on the grass without warning. It was the unconscious Luo Qingchen!

And on his chest, the black little turtle shell was quietly sticking there, emitting a faint, almost imperceptible light.

"Senior Brother Luo!"

"Turtle shell!"

Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan cried out in surprise at the same time!
Lin Wan'er rushed over and carefully checked Luo Qingchen's breath and pulse. Although it was still weak, his breath was still there, and it seemed to be more stable than when he was in the giant tower! She was pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be a gentle and powerful force in Luo Qingchen's body that was slowly repairing his injuries. The source of that power was the small turtle shell attached to his chest!

"That's great! Senior Brother Luo is fine!" Lin Wan'er cried with joy.

"My turtle shell!" Su Xiaowan also rushed over, trying carefully to take the turtle shell back from Luo Qingchen, but after trying several times, she found that the turtle shell seemed to have grown on Luo Qingchen's body, motionless, and still continuously supplying some kind of energy into his body.

"Hey! Turtle Shell! What are you doing? Come back soon!" Su Xiaowan poked the turtle shell and whispered, "Although Senior Brother Luo is also very important...but you are my baby! How can you stick to someone else? It's too quick for you to fall in love with someone else!"

The tortoise shell showed no reaction and continued to treat Luo Qingchen diligently.

"Okay, Xiaowan," Lin Wan'er wiped away her tears and smiled, "It seems that the turtle shell saved Senior Brother Luo and is healing him. When Senior Brother Luo wakes up, it should be back."

Su Xiaowan pouted. Although she felt sorry for her baby, she also understood the seriousness of the matter. She could only give up for the time being and moved closer to Luo Qingchen, carefully observing his face. After confirming that Luo Qingchen was not in danger for the time being and just needed time to recover, Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan were completely relieved and sat down on the grass, gasping for breath. The feeling of relief for surviving the disaster and extreme exhaustion surged into their hearts at the same time.

They looked around this unfamiliar forest. Although the environment was beautiful and the spiritual energy was abundant, the unknown also meant danger.

"Sister Wan'er, what should we do now?" Su Xiaowan leaned against Lin Wan'er, her voice a little timid.

Lin Wan'er pondered for a moment, looked at the still unconscious Luo Qingchen and Bai Ling'er, and then looked at the quiet yet mysterious forest: "We can't move for the time being. Senior Brother Luo and Ling'er both need to rest. Besides, we know nothing about this place, and it's too dangerous to act rashly."

She stood up, walked to the tallest ancient tree nearby, and looked up. Through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, she could see countless bright stars dotted in the deep night sky. The arrangement of these stars was completely different from any star field they were familiar with, and seemed extremely strange.

"The stars here... are completely different." Lin Wan'er said softly, becoming more certain in her heart that they had come to a completely unknown place, and might not even be in their original world anymore.

"Let's find a secluded place to rest and recover our strength first, and then wait for Senior Brother Luo to wake up." Lin Wan'er made a decision.

She helped the weak Su Xiaowan up, and then carefully moved Luo Qingchen and Bai Ling'er to a relatively hidden and dry tree hole surrounded by dense bushes.

After simply treating each other's wounds and swallowing the few remaining ordinary healing pills, the two snuggled together, vigilantly guarding their unconscious companion while taking the time to regulate their breathing and recover.

The night in the forest was not peaceful. From time to time, strange beasts roared in the distance, there were rustling sounds in the forest, unknown luminous insects flew in the air, and huge mushroom-like plants emitted various colors of fluorescence. Everything seemed so novel and full of unknowns.

Su Xiaowan was very nervous at first and listened to the movements around her with her ears perked up, but she was so tired that she leaned her head on Lin Wan'er's shoulder and fell asleep unconsciously, drooling at the corners of her mouth, as if she was dreaming about something delicious.

Lin Wan'er looked at her adorable sleeping face, then looked at Luo Qingchen and Bai Ling'er, whose breathing was gradually stabilizing, and felt relieved. She forced herself to stay alert, scanning the surrounding forest illuminated by starlight and strange plants.

At this moment, she seemed to catch a glimpse from the corner of her eye that something moved in the shadow of a huge tree in the distance!
Lin Wan'er's heart trembled, and she immediately held her breath and looked carefully.

A small, snow-white fawn with a pair of crystal-clear wings slowly walked out of the shadows. The fawn's eyes were like the purest obsidian, full of spirituality. It tilted its head and looked at Lin Wan'er curiously, seemingly without any ill intentions.

What’s even more peculiar is that on the deer’s forehead, there is a crystal the size of a grain of rice that sparkles like a star.

Seeing this strange little deer, Lin Wan'er's tense heartstrings relaxed a little. At least, this place didn't seem to be dangerous.

The fawn looked at them from a distance for a while, then turned around with light steps and disappeared deeper into the forest.

Lin Wan'er retracted her gaze and let out a breath. No matter where this place was, they survived, which was more important than anything else. The rest of the road could only be taken step by step.

The night deepens and the stars flicker.

The light of the tortoise shell attached to Luo Qingchen's chest became increasingly dim, as if its energy was about to run out. However, Luo Qingchen's face had returned to its normal rosy color, and his breathing was long and powerful. The originally disordered and broken meridians and chaotic origin in his body had been restored to almost normal under the magical power of the tortoise shell, and were even more condensed and stable than before!
Finally, when the last ray of light faded, the small turtle shell fell from Luo Qingchen's chest with a "click".

Almost at the same time, Luo Qingchen's long eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was the unfamiliar starry sky and the faces of Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan, which were filled with surprise and concern.

"Brother Luo! You're awake!"

"Great!"

Luo Qingchen was still a little dazed. His last memory was the moment when the Gate of Life was activated, his soul burned, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

"I...are we out?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

“Yes! We got out!” Lin Wan’er nodded vigorously, tears flashing in her eyes, “It was… it was Xiaowan’s tortoise shell that saved you!”

Luo Qingchen lowered his head and saw the black little turtle shell that had fallen beside him. He also felt the unprecedented fullness of power and stability in his body. A hint of surprise and understanding flashed in his eyes.

He sat up, picked up the small turtle shell and handed it to Su Xiaowan who was standing beside him with an expectant look on her face.

"Here, your baby."

"Hehe!" Su Xiaowan snatched the tortoise shell, wiped it like a treasure, and rubbed it in her arms, "You still have a conscience and know how to come back! Don't stick to others casually in the future!"

The tortoise shell showed no reaction and remained as plain and simple as ever.

Luo Qingchen looked at Su Xiaowan's money-obsessed look, then looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, as well as Bai Ling'er, who was nestled in Lin Wan'er's arms, still asleep but breathing steadily, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

They escaped from Guixu and survived, but a new journey and the unknown had just begun.

He stood up, stretched his body, felt the purer power of chaos flowing in his body, and cast his gaze into the depths of the forest that looked particularly mysterious under the strange starlight.

"What is this place?" (End of this chapter)
