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

Luo Qingchen shook his heavy head and stood up. The power of chaos circulated in his body for a cycle, dispelling most of the discomfort, but the consumption of forcibly urging power and passing through the turbulence still made him feel tired.

Lin Wan'er also stood up by the tree trunk beside her and checked Bai Ling'er. The little girl was still drowsy, but her face was ruddy and her breathing was steady and long. Although the leaves between her eyebrows were no longer glowing, they seemed to have more vitality than before. It seemed that this time travel was actually beneficial to her.

"This is..." Luo Qingchen looked around, his voice hoarse with a hint of disbelief.

They were in a dense primeval forest. Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, thick vines entwined them, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, giving off the smell of damp soil and rotten grass. The air was filled with a rich and familiar spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although it was mixed, it was full of vitality, which was completely different from the dead silence of Guixu and the purity of the alien star.

The sun shone through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled spots of light in the forest. A few colorful birds were startled and flew up from the nearby bushes, flapping their wings and chirping. In the distance, the sound of a gurgling stream seemed to be faintly heard.

Everything seemed so...normal.

It was so normal that it seemed like a different world to them.

Lin Wan'er reached out her hand and caught a fallen broad leaf of a familiar shape, feeling the familiar wood-type spiritual energy contained in it, and her eyes instantly turned red. She covered her mouth, her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears silently fell.

Su Xiaowan was also stunned. She looked at the familiar trees around her, smelled the familiar air, then looked down at the dull tortoise shell in her arms. Her mouth pursed and she burst into tears: "Wow... It's three-needle pine! It's seven-star grass! And this earthy smell... Are we... Are we really back?!"

Luo Qingchen slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness spread like a tide.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, there were undulating mountains, surging forests, and winding streams. He felt the familiar pulse of spiritual energy, the faint breath of mountain spirits, and the occasional light of practitioners passing through the distant sky... Although it was faint, it was indeed the breath of their world!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. An indescribable feeling of exhaustion and relief surged into his heart. He raised his head and looked at the sky through the gaps in the leaves. The sunlight was a little dazzling.

After a long while, he uttered three words, his voice filled with unprecedented relief:
"We... are going home."

"Go home..."

These three words seemed to carry some kind of magic, making the three people who had just survived a life-and-death situation temporarily forget their fatigue and pain, and immersed in an indescribable excitement and trance.

Su Xiaowan's crying gradually stopped and turned into soft sobs. She wiped her tears and looked around curiously, as if she wanted to carve this lost and recovered land into her eyes: "Wow... The trees here are taller than those on the mountain behind my home... The spiritual energy seems to be stronger... Where are we?"

Lin Wan'er also wiped away her tears and showed a sincere smile on her face. That smile was as bright and moving as the sunshine after the rain. She walked to an old tree, gently stroked the rough bark, felt the gentle vitality flowing in it, and whispered: "The spiritual energy here is very abundant, and the essence of plants and trees is also very sufficient. It should be a place where spiritual energy gathers, far away from human habitation."

Luo Qingchen nodded. His consciousness had roughly explored the surrounding situation. They seemed to have landed in the depths of an extremely vast primitive mountain range, sparsely populated. There were some monsters and beasts lurking there, but they were not too strong and posed no threat to them.

"Let's find a place to rest first." Luo Qingchen said, his voice regaining its composure, "We are all exhausted and need to recover. Ling'er also needs a stable environment."

After the joy of surviving the catastrophe, the reality is in front of him. Luo Qingchen looked inward. Although the origin of chaos was condensed, it was consumed a lot before, especially the forced injection of the tortoise shell and the stable channel at the end, which made his Dantian a little empty at the moment. Lin Wan'er's face was also a little pale. She carried Bai Ling'er on her back and fought all the way, and her spiritual power consumption was also not small. Su Xiaowan was mainly mentally exhausted. Holding the dull tortoise shell, her little face was full of worry.

"Turtle Shell, Turtle Shell, how are you? Would you like to drink some spiritual energy?" Su Xiaowan sat down cross-legged, imitating the adults' practice, trying hard to mobilize the meager spiritual power in her body and carefully transfer it to Turtle Shell.

However, the turtle shell did not react at all. It remained dark and dull, and even the tiny crack did not change.

"Woo...it ignores me..." Su Xiaowan pouted and was about to cry again.

"Don't be impatient," Luo Qingchen walked over, squatted down, and carefully examined the turtle shell. "It should have run out of energy and fallen into a dormant state of self-protection. Treasures of this level should have strong self-repair capabilities, but it just takes time, or... requires specific energy replenishment." A wisp of gray chaotic air lingered on his fingertips, and he tried to touch the turtle shell, but the turtle shell still did not respond, as if it was not interested in his chaotic power.

"Specific energy?" Su Xiaowan tilted her head. "What kind of energy is that? Can natural treasures be used? My father has hidden something good for me..."

Luo Qingchen shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe it's the origin of the earth, maybe it's the power of the stars, or even something more special. Let it recover on its own first." He patted Su Xiaowan's head, "The most urgent task is to restore our own state, then determine our current location, and find a way back to the sect as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Su Xiaowan nodded vigorously, carefully wrapped the turtle shell with a piece of clean cloth, and hid it close to her body, as if she was afraid that it would run away with someone again.

The three of them found a hidden cave nearby. There was a stream running through the cave entrance, so water was not a problem. Luo Qingchen set up a few simple warning and concealment formations at the entrance of the cave. Although they were crude, they were enough to deal with the monsters and low-level cultivators that might exist in this area.

Lin Wan'er settled Bai Ling'er on the hay in the cave and carefully checked her condition. The leaves of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass were still dull, but seemed to have stabilized and no longer showed signs of withering. Bai Ling'er's breathing was long and steady, and the dragon soul aura in her body was completely restrained, as if she had fallen into a deeper sleep.

"Ling'er's condition is very stable, and the environment here doesn't seem to be repulsive to her." Lin Wan'er felt relieved.

Luo Qingchen nodded, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the Chaos Art, absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to restore himself. The familiar spiritual energy poured into his meridians. Although it was not as pure as that of the alien star, it was vast and majestic, and it quickly merged and transformed with his chaotic power. He could feel that after the life and death trials of Guixu and the alien star, his chaos origin was not only more condensed, but his affinity and conversion efficiency for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were also improved by more than one level. Strength is returning quickly.

Lin Wan'er also sat down and practiced the Tian Yuan Jue. She was pleasantly surprised to find that in this primitive forest, her wood-type spiritual power was unusually active, like a fish returning to water, and her recovery speed was much faster than usual.

Su Xiaowan didn't have any advanced skills, but she followed suit and absorbed the spiritual energy. At the same time, she held a tattered book of talismans and muttered to herself, as if she was researching some new way to make money... Oh no, it was a way to save her life.

The cave fell into silence for a moment, with only the steady breathing of the three people and the sound of gurgling water outside the cave.

Time passed slowly in this peaceful recovery.

About two days later, Luo Qingchen opened his eyes first, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. His chaotic power had recovered almost completely, and there was even a faint sign of breaking through the original realm. Lin Wan'er also woke up soon after, and her breath was much more harmonious. Su Xiaowan... well, she was sleeping soundly, with a trace of crystal hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"I'll go explore the surroundings and determine the location." Luo Qingchen stood up and said to Lin Wan'er, "You stay here and be alert."

"Brother Luo, be careful." Lin Wan'er warned. Luo Qingchen nodded, and with a flick of his body, he left the cave silently.

He was like a shadow in the forest, moving quickly between the mountains. He used his spiritual sense to carefully identify the topography of the mountains and rivers, and compared it with the map in his memory. This mountain range was extremely vast, and the topography seemed to be slightly different from any place he knew. It was obviously an extremely remote area that had not been explored in detail.

"Ok?"

Just as Luo Qingchen flew over a valley, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

He stopped and landed on a cliff on one side of the valley, looking down sharply.

There are traces of fighting at the bottom of the valley!

Several large trees were cut in half, with smooth cut ends, obviously caused by a sharp weapon. There were several deep gullies on the ground, with violent spiritual power fluctuations remaining, and several pools of dark red blood that had not yet completely dried up.

Judging from the residual spiritual power fluctuations, both sides of the battle were strong, at least at the level of the late foundation building stage, and there might even be cultivators in the early stage of the golden elixir. Moreover, one of the spiritual energy auras made Luo Qingchen feel a little familiar.

He carefully distinguished the familiar smell... cold, mysterious, and with an uncomfortable sticky feeling.

"Is it... someone from the Xuanyin Sect?" Luo Qingchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xuanyin Sect was a second-rate demon sect in their area. It was secretive and ruthless, and had always been at odds with the famous and upright sects. But the Xuanyin Sect's mountain gate was extremely far away from here. How could their people appear in the depths of this uninhabited primitive mountain range? And a fierce battle took place here?
Luo Qingchen felt a little alert. He did not rush down to investigate, but hid his body, concentrated his consciousness into a line, and carefully explored the depths of the valley.

Soon, his spiritual sense captured several moving figures.

There were five people in total, all wearing the Xuanyin Sect's iconic black robes, with injuries varying from minor to serious. They were moving quickly downstream along the valley, looking somewhat embarrassed.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a sinister look, who was at the early stage of the Golden Core stage, and his aura was a little disordered. He looked around vigilantly while whispering something to his subordinates.

"...Damn it! I didn't expect those guys from the Tianjian Sect to have such a sharp nose that they actually tracked us here!"

"Elder, what should we do now? If the news of that 'thing' gets leaked out..."

"Shut up! The stuff is still in our hands. As long as we can get rid of them and return to the sect, it will be a great achievement! Send a message to the nearby support personnel and ask them to speed up!"

"But Elder, those guys from the Tianjian Sect..."

"Humph, they are also injured, so they dare not chase too closely! Let's speed up, there should be a teleportation array set up by the sect not far ahead!"

The intermittent conversation reached Luo Qingchen's ears, making his heart jump suddenly!
Tianjianmen?
Isn't that a sword-cultivating sect that is as famous as their Qingyun Sect and one of the three major sects of the righteous path? Did the people of Xuanyin Sect and Tianjian Sect have a conflict here? And it seems that there is something important involved?
What shocked him even more was that the Xuanyin Sect actually had a teleportation array in this barren mountain! This was absolutely not normal!

Luo Qingchen did not alarm them, retreated quietly, and quickly returned to the cave.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Luo?" Lin Wan'er asked immediately when she saw his serious expression.

Luo Qingchen briefly recounted his findings.

"Xuan Yin Sect? Tian Jian Sect? Why are they fighting here?" Lin Wan'er frowned, "And the Xuan Yin Sect has also set up a teleportation array here?"

"I don't know." Luo Qingchen shook his head, "But the situation may be more complicated than we thought. The people of Xuanyin Sect are secretive, and it is no coincidence that they appear here. The 'thing' they mentioned can make the people of Tianjian Sect chase them to such a place, so it must be very important."

"Then...what should we do?" Su Xiaowan also woke up. When she heard this, her face turned pale. "Will they find us?"

"The place where we landed is very hidden, so it shouldn't happen for the time being." Luo Qingchen pondered, "But we can't stay here for long. Since the Xuanyin Sect has a teleportation array, it means they may have backup. Since the people from the Tianjian Sect are chasing us, it also means that this area is not safe."

He looked outside the cave with a deep gaze: "We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe route back to the sect. But now it seems that the situation outside may not be peaceful."

At this moment, Luo Qingchen suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart!

He suddenly raised his head and looked diagonally upwards of the cave!
Almost at the same time, an extremely obscure sword energy, but carrying a fierce murderous intent, like a poisonous snake coming out of a cave, silently penetrated the simple formation he had set up and pierced straight into the cave!

The target was Su Xiaowan, who had just woken up and was still a little confused!

laugh!
The sword energy broke through the air, as fast as a meteor, carrying with it a sharp intention to cut off everything!

The sword energy appeared extremely suddenly, without any sign beforehand. It was obvious that the attacker had extremely high skills in hiding, and had grasped the timing extremely accurately, choosing the moment when Luo Qingchen was excited and Su Xiaowan was sleepy!
"Little Wan!"

Lin Wan'er cried out in surprise, and almost instinctively pulled Su Xiaowan behind her. At the same time, she made a seal with her right hand, and a green vine shield instantly condensed in front of her!

However, that sword energy was too fast and too fierce! (End of this chapter)
