Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 759 Mysterious Man

Chen Wang was seriously injured this time. Although he used the Creation Golden Chapter to refine and heal his injuries, the trauma left in his body was not eliminated.

There is a residual, extremely powerful, alien force within him.

It took Chen Wang several days to fully recover his physical body, but the injuries inside his body still gave him a headache.

Because he needed to refine the disharmony between his body and primordial spirit, but now he also had to refine this foreign power within his body, and this power also remained in his primordial spirit, which added many difficulties.

Chen Wang was extremely wary of the man on the ship, and at the same time, he was filled with intense hatred.

After refining the wounds on his body, Chen Wang was not in a hurry to refine the Dao injuries within his body, as this was not something that could be accomplished in a day.

Chen Wang activated the bronze gate once again and traveled to the Dao Ning World.

When he went abroad, he was truly shocked by what he saw; the overseas areas had almost become a desolate wasteland.

The original islands have fallen apart, and many corpses, some human and some monsters, as well as many buildings, are floating on the sea.

Some islands were completely sunk, and some wooden buildings were still floating on the water. A strong stench permeated the air, making Chen Wang feel nauseous.

Many aquatic creatures also perished, including some powerful aquatic monsters.

Chen Wang spread his divine sense outwards while carefully avoiding being targeted by the mysterious man.

Chen Wang used his divine sense to search for a long time, but he did not encounter any living people overseas.

After a long time, Chen Wang's divine sense finally detected a small island. There were many cultivators on the island, and Chen Wang quickly flew over there.

He scanned the island with his divine sense and found that there were only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

One of the cultivators was named Zheng Zhong, and the other was named Rong Cheng.

These two were not well-known experts overseas; they kept a low profile and lived on a remote island.

After landing on the island, Chen Wang found the two men, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "What happened? How was the overseas cultivation world destroyed?"

Zheng Zhong had seen Chen Wang from afar before, and upon seeing that it was the Mysterious Dharma True Lord of Fire Cloud Island, he was immediately startled and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Dao, are you alright!"

Fire Cloud Island was the first to perish. The island they regarded as a forbidden zone could not withstand the tower ship for even a moment. They even thought that the True Lord of Wonderful Laws had been killed.

"That day was just too chaotic."

Chen Wang said,

"I was cultivating on Fire Cloud Island when I suddenly saw a man riding a towering ship. I used my supernatural powers to teleport tens of thousands of miles away to avoid him, so I don't know what happened afterward."

Zheng Zhong suddenly realized and sighed, "Brother Dao, you really have great abilities. That man was driving a ship across the sea, smashing up one immortal island after another. Countless cultivators were killed by him, and blood flowed like rivers. It was like a catastrophe."

Chen Wang frowned.
This man went on a killing spree overseas. What exactly is he trying to do?
Rongcheng said, "Only a small number of people escaped this catastrophe. Some left overseas in despair, while others came to this island. Fellow Daoist Zheng and I also temporarily settled on this island."

Chen Wang said, "Aren't you afraid that man will come back?"

Rongcheng said, "To be honest, I was also very worried. However, since he went on a killing spree that day and destroyed the overseas cultivation world, he probably won't be back for a while. Therefore, although this place has become a ruin, it has become the safest place."

Chen Wang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take another look at Rong Cheng. This Rong Cheng was indeed meticulous.

Rongcheng sighed and said, "That warship is terrifying. I haven't gone out to find out anything these days, so I don't know where it's gone to commit its crimes again."

After chatting with Rongcheng for a while, Chen Wang got up to take his leave and set off for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen Wang met the sisters Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi.

When Chen Wang inquired about the ship, Yu Qingdai's face turned deathly pale.

"The warship appeared at the border between the Great Zhou and the Great Chu, rampaging and killing millions of people in a short period of time. Several major sects were also wiped out. One person on one ship, they were like demons."

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi told Chen Wang everything they knew.

After wreaking havoc overseas, the warships headed to the border between the Great Zhou and the Great Chu. There was an unnamed hill there, where the warships first appeared and then crushed a nearby Nascent Soul sect.

That ship contained terrifying power, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.

Later, he began to wreak havoc in the surrounding area. Many cultivators and sects from the Great Chu and Great Zhou went to suppress him, but they were all killed by him.

This matter alarmed the powerful cultivators at the Fusion Stage of the Great Chu and Great Zhou dynasties.

The two powerful figures set off for the border, but failed to find the whereabouts of the ship.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang felt a chill run down his spine. This ship didn't seem to be there to seek revenge; it seemed to have some ulterior motive.

Chen Wang asked, "Do you know the origin of this warship?"

Yu Qingdai shook her head: "My sister and I are in the royal family, so we don't know much about the secrets. We only heard about these things."

Chen Wang nodded.

Even if someone recognized the origin of the ship, it was not something the twin sisters could access.

Chen Wang said, "Be careful these days. I've encountered this ship before, and the overseas cultivation world was destroyed because of it. We don't know its purpose yet. It's an extremely dangerous person, far more dangerous than Fairy Jiang."

Although Fairy Jiang was involved in killing many experts, she had not yet attacked ordinary people. Moreover, since the Youlan Mansion, she had spent most of her time being hunted down, unlike this ship, which was practically a terrorist attack, killing people everywhere.

The Yu sisters nodded and told Chen Wang to be careful.

Chen Wang returned to Jianmen after leaving Da Zhou.

The way the ship appeared was elusive; to Chen Wang, it seemed more like it was traversing the void than simply flying through the sky.
Otherwise, such a massive ship would certainly attract the attention of many sects.

"Hopefully it's something native to the Dao Ning World. The Dao Ning World has many experts at the Integration level, and the eight super powers will definitely not let it go unchecked."

"But if it comes from another world, then the worlds I control are in danger."

Chen Wang sensed an immense sense of crisis.

There is a latent immortal energy within him, which can only be suppressed and sealed within his sea of ​​will through the power of faith.

On the other side, another major crisis has emerged in the Dao Ning World. A mysteriously appearing ship is killing people everywhere. Chen Wang seems to be the first to be attacked, but its subsequent movements do not seem to be searching for Chen Wang.

Chen Wang is still unsure of the ship's purpose, but he has already listed it as an extremely formidable opponent.

We can't go to Daoning World for now; it's too dangerous.

The spiritual energy in the dead of winter is too thin, and so is the martial arts world. Why not choose a place for enlightenment in the Longjiang world or the Mingzhou world?

.........

Chen Wang first went to the Martial Arts World, where his Martial God Sect had been operating for many years and had abundant faith power. However, the spiritual energy was not strong, so the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in this small world was not particularly helpful to Chen Wang. Afterwards, he went to the Frost Winter, where the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth surpassed that of the Martial Arts World. However, the Great Dao of Frost Winter was also somewhat incomplete, a fact that Chen Wang discovered after careful contemplation.

Chen Wang sighed, perhaps because winter itself is a cruel world.

Finally, Chen Wang went to the Longjiang World, which was a good place for enlightenment, with abundant spiritual energy. In this world, all the gods had been tricked by Chen Wang into falling into Ragnarok and would not be able to come out for a while.

Chen Wang pondered in his heart that the best place to comprehend the Dao at present was the Longjiang World.

However, Chen Wang had a sudden thought: he wanted to go to the Mingzhou World to see if the effects of comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in different worlds would be very different for him.

If it weren't for the elusive, murderous ship that was constantly killing people in the Dao Ning World, it would definitely be the most suitable place.

After arriving in the Mingzhou world, Chen Wang sensed that the cultivation system here was completely different from that of the cultivation world, but the spiritual energy was quite abundant.

Chen Wang carefully comprehended the Dao of Heaven and Earth here, and found it to be quite unique, even more advanced than the Longjiang World, and almost on par with the Daoning World.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up immediately. Only someone with his level of cultivation could clearly distinguish the differences between the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

When I was cultivating in the Nascent Soul stage before, I only had a glimpse of the whole picture through a small part.

Chen Wang was somewhat shocked at this moment, muttering to himself, "The Mingzhou World is more advanced than I imagined, but there are no Nascent Soul stage cultivators here."

Chen Wang thought for a moment and concluded that it might be due to the different systems. After all, the Dao Ning world, which was at a similar level to him, did indeed have many experts at the Fusion stage, while the highest level in the Mingzhou world was a demigod.

"Wait a minute, I always thought the strongest beings in the Mingzhou world were demigods. Could there be real gods here?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. The level of the Mingzhou World was almost equivalent to that of the Daoning World, but the upper limit of power was much lower.

Chen Wang found it a bit strange, but since he had never heard of any god in the Mingzhou world, he temporarily suppressed this guess.

He plans to begin comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Mingzhou world.

The Mingzhou World is now completely under Chen Wang's control, and they occasionally come to check on it these days.

Although there are some minor skirmishes among other superpowers, they are generally at peace.

The main reason is that after the Tea Society's meeting, demigods were restricted from participating in wars, just like the prohibition on the use of nuclear weapons after the World War. Some minor frictions are nothing to worry about.

Mingzhou is an extremely special place. It has many demigods, some powerful forbidden objects, and some forbidden lands, but Chen Wang has no intention of exploring them at the moment.

He planned to properly heal his injuries here.

…………

More than half a year passed before Chen Wang was able to refine all the Dao injuries on his body.

He practices breathing exercises and meditation every day to comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth. Sometimes he enters a state of enlightenment, at which point his speed increases exponentially.

Even so, it took a full six months to completely heal the injuries caused by the sun boat.

As Chen Wang finished eliminating the last bit of his hidden injury, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This injury is really troublesome. I was able to refine this Dao injury within half a year, which is entirely thanks to the Creation Golden Chapter."

Chen Wang already possessed the power of creation within him, having mastered the Golden Chapter of Creation to a high level, and his body contained the power of creation.

Chen Wang obtained the power of creation from that jade pot by chance, and now he can finally fully master it.

He can generate a continuous stream of creative power, and as long as he is not fatally injured, his body's vitality will be restored in a short time.

"Only through the path of creation can one cultivate an immortal body, almost indestructible." Chen Wang was somewhat satisfied with this.

Over the past six months, Chen Wang has been working on enlightenment, but sometimes he has also encountered bottlenecks in his progress.

Especially in the last month, Chen Wang made almost no progress in comprehending the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Simply shutting yourself away to seek enlightenment may not be a good strategy for comprehending the great principles of the universe. I should take the initiative to live in Mingzhou for a while and experience the life of an ordinary person. Maybe that will lead to enlightenment."

The Golden Chapter of Creation also states that one must comprehend the Way of Heaven and the Way of Humanity in order to temper one's mind and refine one's heart in the mortal world.

However, the specific methods of cultivation are not specified in the Golden Chapter of Creation, which may require each cultivator to comprehend on their own.

Thus, a new tavern owner appeared in the inner city of the thirteenth district of Mingzhou.

Chen Wang opened a small tavern here, which was his first step into the world of Mingzhou.

The tavern had a rather understated design, which Chen Wang wanted to use to ease his tense nerves.

He had been fighting for many years and had faced a constant stream of experts, some of whom were beyond his comprehension. Like a solar ship, they had left Chen Wang physically and mentally exhausted.

Moreover, this time, Chen Wang did not intend to use his immortal abilities; he only brought 50 yuan as start-up capital.

He also did not intend to use his influence in the Mingzhou world and planned to live as an ordinary person for a period of time.

However, to his surprise, the tavern not only had very poor business after only half a month of operation, but it also encountered investigations from three different official organizations, leaving Chen Wang feeling somewhat helpless.

Water and electricity, commercial tax, sanitation tax—various organizations have come out to collect fees, and these are not arbitrary charges; they are clearly stated in the regulations.

Chen Wang felt somewhat helpless after dealing with these official organizations for only half a month.

After persisting for another half month, Chen Wang had already dealt with more than a dozen official organizations, big and small. Even health organizations had charged him fees, as had entertainment associations.

Chen Wang runs a tavern, which involves the entertainment industry, so he also has to pay entertainment tax.

"I just want to be an ordinary person and experience life. Why are there so many places that collect taxes?"

Chen Wang squatted at the back door this afternoon, feeling somewhat helpless.

He held a cigarette between his fingers. This man, who was a powerful figure in the cultivation world and controlled a super force in the Mingzhou world, was now somewhat helpless against the tax collection by these official organizations.

Fortunately, the tavern was located in the inner city, so we didn't encounter any unauthorized organizations charging us fees. It's said that such situations are common in the outer city.

Of course, it's also possible that Chen Wang's little tavern is located in a relatively remote area and hasn't been noticed by anyone yet.

Chen Wang's small tavern only employs two young people: one is a student who works part-time, and the other is someone who dropped out of school long ago to work. This person is named Zheng Yuan.

At this moment, Zheng Yuan ran over, sweating profusely, and said, "Boss, something bad has happened! The Health Association has seized our liquor, saying it's counterfeit and substandard products, suspected of fraud, and they're going to freeze the tavern's operating rights and accounts indefinitely."

Chen Wang was smoking by the back door when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, his cigarette trembling slightly.

"Hasn't the association already paid the money? How can they be so greedy?"

The young man, with a tearful face, said, "He's our supplier; he's a fake liquor seller."

Chen Wang's lips twitched.
