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

He looked around, frowning slightly. The starry sky above his head was vaguely visible through the gaps between the branches and leaves. The arrangement of the stars was completely unfamiliar, emitting a strange glow.

“I don’t know.” Lin Wan’er also stood up, her expression solemn. “I’ve observed the stars, and they don’t match any star field we know of. It’s very likely… we are no longer in the original world.”

Not in the original world...

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart. They escaped from the desperate situation of Guixu, but fell into another huge unknown. The little pride on Su Xiaowan's face collapsed instantly, and her face wrinkled: "Ah? Then how can we go back? My parents are still waiting for me at home! And I'm hiding under the bed..." She suddenly covered her mouth, and her big eyes blinked at Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er.

Luo Qingchen did not say anything, but walked to the nearest towering ancient tree, stretched out his hand, and a barely detectable wisp of gray chaotic air lingered on his fingertips, gently touching the rough bark.

laugh……

The hard bark was silently annihilated like tofu, leaving a finger-sized hole, without leaving any scorch marks or debris, only the purest nothingness. Luo Qingchen's eyes condensed slightly, feeling the more arbitrary control of the power of chaos and the greatly improved annihilation characteristics. It seems that the benefits of this reshaping and condensation of the origin are far more than just healing injuries.

"The energy here is very strange, gentle, pure, and contains a kind of... breath that is similar to the fusion of life and stars." Luo Qingchen retracted his hand and pondered, "For the time being, the danger is not high, but we must not take it lightly. We know nothing about this place."

"Yeah," Lin Wan'er agreed. "I just explored the area and found a relatively clean water source. I also discovered several plants that I didn't recognize but seemed to contain spiritual energy. However, deep in the forest... it feels a little different." She pointed in a direction. "There seems to be stronger energy fluctuations over there, and some... very strange sounds."

"Strange sound?" Su Xiaowan immediately pricked up her ears and hugged the turtle shell nervously. "What's that sound? Is there a monster?"

“No,” Lin Wan’er shook her head. “It’s more like… some kind of regular whisper, or resonance? Very faint, but it does exist.”

Luo Qingchen closed his eyes and slowly spread his consciousness. His soul had recovered a lot under the nourishment of the tortoise shell. At this moment, he used all his strength to perceive, with a wider range than before. Soon, he also caught the "whisper" that Lin Wan'er mentioned.

It was not a real sound, but a strange energy frequency fluctuation, like countless tiny starlights resonating and breathing, they gathered together to form an indescribable rhythm, as if conveying some kind of information, or just a pulsation of the world itself. This fluctuation seemed to come from the direction that Lin Wan'er pointed to.

"Let's go and take a look." Luo Qingchen made a decision, "We can't stay here forever. We must figure out where this place is, so that we can find a way back."

"But Senior Brother Luo, you just recovered from your injury..." Lin Wan'er was a little worried.

"It's okay." Luo Qingchen felt the surging power in his body, "The recovery is better than expected. Besides, staying here and passively waiting is not a solution."

He glanced at Bai Ling'er who was still unconscious and said, "Wan'er, take good care of Ling'er and Xiao Wan. I'll go explore the way first."

"No!" Su Xiaowan immediately objected, "We have to go together! More people means more care, and my turtle shell is very powerful!" She patted the turtle shell in her arms with an expression of "I am very important" on her face.

Lin Wan'er also said: "Brother Luo, let's act together. It's too dangerous to separate. I can carry Ling'er on my back."

Luo Qingchen looked at the two people's determined eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay. But be careful and stay alert."

After simple preparations, Luo Qingchen led the way, Lin Wan'er carried Bai Ling'er in the middle, and Su Xiaowan held the tortoise shell at the rear. The three of them carefully moved forward in the direction of the strange energy fluctuations.

The light inside the forest gradually became more colorful as we went deeper. Various strange plants competed with each other for beauty. Some were like huge crystal clusters, refracting starlight; some were like flowing liquid metal, slowly changing their shapes; and some plant leaves actually flashed tiny dots of light like star maps. The star energy in the air became more and more intense. Breathing it in made people feel refreshed, and the circulation of spiritual power seemed to speed up a bit.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Su Xiaowan couldn't help but exclaim, temporarily forgetting the danger, and looked around curiously, "If I can dig these flowers and plants and sell them, I will definitely make a fortune!"

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er looked at each other, both feeling helpless. This girl could never forget her business philosophy.

"Don't touch it." Luo Qingchen reminded, "The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is."

Just as he finished speaking, a seemingly harmless, gorgeous flower with vines nearby suddenly "whoosh" shot out a sticky green juice from the pistil and went straight to Su Xiaowan who was walking at the end!
"Ouch!" Su Xiaowan was startled, but her reaction was extremely fast, almost instinctively pushing the turtle shell forward!
puff!

The green juice splashed on the turtle shell, emitting a puff of green smoke and a pungent sour smell, but not even a trace was left on the surface of the turtle shell.

"That was a close call!" Su Xiaowan patted her chest, still in shock. She then put her hands on her hips and cursed at the flower, "You stinky flower! You look like a human, but you have such a bad heart! Look at me..."

She was just about to take out some talisman to give the flower a taste of her own medicine, but Luo Qingchen had already flicked his finger, and a stream of condensed gray energy shot out, silently sinking into the flower's roots. The vines and flowers that were still waving their claws and teeth froze instantly, and then quickly withered, turned to dust, and dissipated as if they had lost all vitality.

Su Xiaowan opened her mouth wide: "Wow... Senior Brother Luo, what is the name of your move? 'Fingers Flicked to Ashes and Smoke'? So cool!" Luo Qingchen ignored her clamor, his expression was still calm, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes. The danger here is indeed hidden under the beauty.

They continued to move forward, becoming more and more careful. Along the way, they encountered several strange creatures. There were snakes covered with glittering scales, darting between branches like lightning; there were huge beetles with crystal clusters like minerals on their backs, moving slowly but with great strength; and there was also the deer that Lin Wan'er had seen before, with a snow-white body, wings as transparent as crystal, and a star-shaped crystal on its forehead.

These creatures seemed to have adapted to the environment here, and their bodies contained more or less star energy. Some of them were curious about the arrival of Luo Qingchen and the others, such as the crystal-winged deer, which looked at them from a distance and ran away; others were full of hostility, such as the scaly snake, which would have attacked if Luo Qingchen had not used the power of chaos to deter them in time.

And the energy fluctuations that were like the "whispering of the stars" became clearer and clearer.

After walking for about half an hour, the road ahead suddenly opened up. A tranquil lake appeared in the midst of a dense forest. The water was crystal clear, but it was not an ordinary blue, but a deep indigo color like the night sky. A faint, colorful mist like a nebula was floating on the surface of the lake.

The most eye-catching thing is the center of the lake. There is no island there, but a huge, irregular diamond-shaped crystal floating there!
This crystal was as big as a house, and it was crystal clear. It seemed as if there was a miniature starry sky hidden inside, with countless points of light slowly flowing and dying in it. A rich, pure, and vast star energy emanated from this huge crystal, filling the entire lake and even the surrounding forest.

And that strange "starlight whisper" also comes from this suspended star crystal! It seems to be breathing, and every time it inhales and exhales energy, it is accompanied by an indescribable rhythmic fluctuation, resonating with the surrounding star energy.

"What...what is this?" Su Xiaowan stared at it with her eyes wide open, swallowing her saliva subconsciously, "What a huge piece of crystal! There seems to be stars inside! If I could knock off a small piece of it..."

"Don't move!" Luo Qingchen shouted in a low voice, his eyes more serious than ever before.

He felt an indescribable pressure from the huge star crystal, as well as a kind of... dormant, ancient consciousness! Although this consciousness was dormant, its vastness and majesty far exceeded any existence he had encountered before, and was even more unfathomable than the shattered star core!
This crystal is definitely something extraordinary! It is very likely one of the energy cores of this area, or even this world!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes by the lake. Then, several dark figures jumped out like ghosts!

They were several black monsters about the size of hounds, and looked like a combination of a mantis and a spider! They had forelimbs as sharp as blades, eight compound eyes that flashed scarlet light, and dark green saliva flowed between their mouthparts, emitting a disgusting stench!
As soon as these monsters appeared, their targets were clear, and their scarlet compound eyes were fixed on Bai Ling'er on Lin Wan'er's back! They seemed to have an extremely strong desire for the faint dragon soul aura on Bai Ling'er that had not yet completely disappeared, as well as the life essence of the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass!
"Be careful!" Luo Qingchen reacted immediately, the Black Dragon Sword was unsheathed instantly, the power of chaos infused into the sword body, and it swept out!

At the same time, the monsters also moved! They were incredibly fast, turning into several afterimages, rushing towards Lin Wan'er from different directions!
A sudden encounter suddenly broke out on the seemingly peaceful shore of Star Lake!
The fishy wind blew in the face, and the mantis spider monsters were as fast as ghosts. Their sharp forelimbs cut through the air, bringing with them a sharp whistle, and pointed directly at Bai Ling'er on Lin Wan'er's back! Their target was very clear, that "cub" that exuded an alluring scent!
"Looking for death!" A cold light flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes, and the Black Dragon Sword arrived first. The gray chaotic sword energy swept out like a silk thread!

Chi Chi!

The two mantis monsters at the front were unable to dodge and were directly cut in half by the Chaos Sword Qi! The cut was as smooth as a mirror, but no blood flowed out, only a black gas escaped, and then the whole body quickly collapsed and dissipated like sand, as if the basis of its existence was completely annihilated by the power of chaos!

Kill two with one strike! Luo Qingchen's current control over the power of chaos, as well as the power of the power of chaos itself, are far from what they were in the past!

However, the remaining three mantis spider monsters did not retreat, but became even more ferocious! They seemed to have no sense of pain or fear, and there was only pure greed and killing desire in their scarlet compound eyes! One of them suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a dark green net, covering Lin Wan'er! Another one jumped high, and its forelimbs chopped at Luo Qingchen like a guillotine! The last one was the most cunning, and it actually stuck to the ground, like a gliding shadow, and circled to the side and back of Luo Qingchen, trying to sneak attack!
"Wan'er!" Luo Qingchen reminded him, and with a shake of his body, he did not retreat but advanced towards the mantis spider monster that was chopping down on his head!

The Black Dragon Sword collided violently with the monster's sharp forelimbs!
clang! ! !
There was a sharp sound of metal clashing, and sparks flew everywhere!
Luo Qingchen only felt a huge force coming, and his arm was slightly numb. The strength of this monster and the hardness of its forelimbs were far beyond his expectations! The mantis monster was also shocked and retreated half a step. A trace of doubt flashed in its scarlet compound eyes, as if it did not expect that this seemingly frail human could block its attack head-on!
On the other side, Lin Wan'er also reacted very quickly to the dark green poison net covering her head. She steadied Bai Ling'er on her back with her left hand, pinched her right hand, and the Tianyuan spiritual power surged instantly!
"Tianyuan Wind Wall!"

A light blue, high-speed rotating air barrier instantly formed in front of her!

scoff!

The poison net hit the wind wall, making a tooth-grinding corrosion sound, and the dark green venom splashed everywhere, corroding the surrounding grass into a charred black! The wind wall trembled violently, and the light dimmed rapidly. It was obvious that the poison net was extremely corrosive!
But it was blocked in the end! Lin Wan'er took the opportunity to quickly retreat sideways and distance herself from him.

"Sister Wan'er, I'm here to help you!" Although Su Xiaowan was afraid, she did not back down. Seeing Lin Wan'er in danger, she hurriedly raised the tortoise shell in her arms, "Turtle shell, block it!"

hum!
The tortoise shell glowed again, and a yellowish halo circulated. Although it was not as dazzling as before in the core of Guixu, it also formed a small but solid light shield.

Just at this moment, the mantis spider monster that had sneaked up on Luo Qingchen from behind, seeing that the attack failed, immediately changed direction, turned into a black shadow and pounced on the relatively weaker Su Xiaowan!

"Ah!" Su Xiaowan closed her eyes in fear, but still held the turtle shell tightly.

Bang!
The mantis monster slammed into the khaki light shield! It was like hitting an invisible thick wall! The huge impact force made Su Xiaowan retreat several steps and sit on the ground, but the light shield was as stable as a mountain and only shook a few times.

The mantis monster didn't seem to expect that this inconspicuous "pot lid" had such amazing defense. It was dizzy and its eight compound eyes turned into mosquito coils. (End of this chapter)
