Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 506 Crossing the Ocean
In the far east of Beiyuan, because it is close to the edge of the East China Sea, it is extremely humid and the spiritual energy is mixed, so there are not many Taoist sects established here.

Only a few small sects have set up their own temples here, which has resulted in a long period of absence of high-level cultivators...

On this day, a faint light flashed across the dark sky, circling an inconspicuous earth slope below for several times before slowly descending from the clouds.

Chen Mu held the jade slip in his hand, frowning slightly as he determined the location of Linghu Lake. After a search, he indeed found a clue from a dead tree not far away.

After Master Huohong discovered the Spirit Lake, he was unable to absorb its cultivation due to its incompatible properties, so he could only temporarily use a formation to conceal its aura.

The jade slip recorded that the switch of this formation was the dead tree branch that had no spiritual energy.

"That's quite clever..."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, then he shot out a beam of light according to the method of breaking the formation recorded on the jade slip, and flew straight into the dead tree.

After waiting for a while, the dead tree suddenly lit up with emerald green light and regained its vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, it grew into a giant tree hundreds of feet tall with lush branches and leaves.

Chen Mu was secretly amazed and casually released a magical power to cover the area within a hundred miles to prevent the fluctuations caused by the appearance of the Spirit Lake from attracting others to spy.

Although there have been no high-level cultivators coming and going here for a long time, it is close to the East China Sea after all. It is better to be cautious just in case.

The branches and leaves of the giant tree fluttered, and the rustling sound slowly turned into the sound of flowing water. Behind it, the original earth slope disappeared, and in its place was a lush green lake that was more than ten miles in radius!
In an instant, astonishing spiritual energy rushed into the sky, but fortunately Chen Mu had anticipated it, so he did not make any big moves.

The lake water gurgled, full of vitality. Chen Mu stared at it for a moment, and suddenly an idea occurred to him. He thought to himself, "Is this a new water vein?"

According to his observation, the age of this third-level spiritual lake in front of him is no more than fifty years. Compared with the water veins in the world that are often thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, isn't it a "newborn" water vein?
"Master Huohong is so lucky..."

He murmured, and his spiritual sense came out. After looking around for a long time, his expression showed some doubt.

"The spiritual energy here is mixed, and it doesn't look like a blessed land. How could a spiritual lake of this grade be born?"

A third-level spiritual lake can already be called a spiritual object of heaven and earth, but it cannot appear anywhere it wishes...
Chen Mu frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe there's something different here?"

His heart moved quietly, and he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Whether there is anything special here has little to do with him at the moment, so he'd better not meddle in it.

Thinking of this, he did not delay any longer. After allocating some of his spiritual awareness to be alert, he walked to the center of the Linghu Lake and sat down. Then he circulated the Lingshu Qingyuan True Water and began to absorb the water vapor from the Linghu Lake.

Wisps of water spirit flowed into the golden elixir's origin, and the lines symbolizing supernatural powers grew stronger and stronger...

I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Mu’s sitting figure suddenly shook, as if he had broken through some barrier, and the source of the magical power in his golden elixir suddenly broke through!
In an instant, a mysterious and indescribable feeling came over him. He sat in silence for a moment, and suddenly his eyes opened and closed. A water-colored light rose from behind him, and the purest water spread out, almost washing away the drowsiness in the sky!
……

The sky is vast and the East China Sea is boundless.

A streak of water-colored light streaked across the sky. Chen Mu maintained this speed for a month or so, having already covered countless tens of thousands of miles. He had been traveling with the light for over a month, and the Nixia Sea was now at his feet, though still some distance from the Meng clan that Grandmaster Shuiyun had pointed out.

In fact, in his storage bag was the sea-crossing spiritual boat left by Lei Qi. If he used it to cross the ocean, although the speed would not be much faster, it would at least be much safer and more comfortable.

However, this item is of a high rank. If it is used on the sea, it would be too conspicuous. He is not willing to use it easily unless it is a critical moment.

The Nixia Sea is located deep in the East China Sea. It is extremely large and is the most vast sea area in the East China Sea.

Although this place is far away from other continents, in addition to the monks from local sects, there are many monks from other continents who travel here and appear here.

Among them, the most numerous are the independent cultivators of unconventional ways, and they even form alliances and help each other.

But no matter which one it is, they will be a thousand times more wary of the monks from large sects who come from other continents.

This is because this place is different from other places. It has many islands, rich products, and resources for cultivation as numerous as the stars in the sky. There are also many caves, palaces and temples left by ancient cultivators. However, there are not many spiritual veins and blessed places, and they are all occupied by powerful sects and clans.

They also understood the principle that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. It would be fine if they could just sit in such a spiritual realm and have casual cultivators come and go, but if a disciple from a major Xuanmen sect harbored ill intentions and attracted a powerful figure from their own sect to come and usurp their territory, then their interests would be greatly reduced...

Chen Mu had no intention of conflicting with the local sect on this trip, so he had to conceal his identity as a major sect leader to avoid unnecessary trouble and waste of time.

Thinking of this, he kept an idea in his mind and flew forward for about two days. Suddenly, his spiritual sense discovered that there was a fleet of about thirty ships one hundred thousand feet away. They were leaving the nearby island pier and began to move forward like a long snake on the vast sea.

An idea came to his mind, and he drove the light of escape away. In a moment, he caught up with the fleet. After hiding the fluctuations of his own cultivation, he landed silently in the cabin.

Inside the cabin, a man who looked like a manager suddenly saw a flash before his eyes. A young Taoist monk in a gray shirt and a wooden hairpin appeared. He was startled and subconsciously shouted, "Who is it?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, already having something to say in his mind. He bowed and said, "I am a Taoist from outside the region. I admire your elegance and grace, so I came here to ask for your advice. Unfortunately, the sea is rough, so I wonder if it is possible..."

But before he could finish, the steward had already realized what he had done. He immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Where did this wild Taoist come from? What are you still standing there for? Capture him immediately!"

He didn't see clearly where Chen Mu appeared from, but the fleet had just left the dock, so there was no other possibility except that he had sneaked up at that time.

He had seen many people like this who took advantage of this opportunity to defraud money and property, so he didn't think much about it and immediately ordered his men to take action.

The servants and guards were all very experienced. Three or five of them stepped forward and stabbed the man with long sticks and harpoons. One of them took out a rope and waited until the man was stabbed to the ground before tying him up.

There were a few young men behind them, rubbing their hands in excitement, ready to give him a good beating.

The stick just poked through Chen Mu's body, but it passed through like a shadow and could not touch him at all.

Everyone was horrified and exclaimed, "Could it be that we saw a ghost in broad daylight?"

The manager was quite knowledgeable and immediately felt something was wrong. He knew that he had guessed wrong and that the person in front of him must be a real Taoist priest...
