Chapter 597 Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword and Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe]

Standing high in the azure sky, the earth in Zhou Chun's view had taken on an arc, no longer a flat expanse.

In terms of altitude, he was now thousands of feet in the air.

The area is prone to strong winds, making it unsuitable for cultivators at the Golden Core stage to linger.

If one were to engage in combat here, one would easily be limited by the changing environment, leading to weaknesses in one's defenses and giving others an opportunity to exploit them.

Therefore, whether traveling by air or fighting, most Golden Core cultivators would not reach such high altitudes.

Only Nascent Soul stage cultivators with profound magical power and unparalleled strength can traverse such high altitudes at high speeds, engaging in magical battles and killings.

Only by possessing the ability to easily enter and exit the azure sky can one be able to go anywhere in the world!

Although the Azure Heaven is not a place where he can stay for long, with Zhou Chun's current abilities, it is not impossible for him to stay for an hour.

The [Abyssal Beast] basically never leaves the earth.

So if he was just unlucky and happened to encounter the [Abyssal Beast] traveling with the sandstorm, then he should be considered safe.

Even a mid-grade fourth-tier demonic beast would not be able to attack someone in the Nine Heavens Azure Sky from the ground.

Even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would find it difficult to deliver such a precise strike from such a distance, with the wind scattering their divine sense.

Relatively speaking, this is the best way for Zhou Chun to verify his guess.

"Am I really just unlucky?"

After staying a while in the Azure Sky, Zhou Chun, seeing that no attacks were coming, couldn't help but wonder if he was being paranoid.

After pondering for a moment, he waved his sleeve and summoned the Azure Sea Silver Boat, then used this magical artifact to travel through the azure sky.

If the dangers of strong winds are not taken into account, traveling in the vast sky is actually a fantastic experience for cultivators.

Flying at this altitude, the flight speed can increase by 10% or 20% out of nowhere.

After flying in the azure sky for half an hour, Zhou Chun escaped the sandstorm's reach.

Then he commanded the flying boat to press downwards, quickly leaving this uniquely beautiful azure sky.

There was no other way. If he continued to travel in that area, even with his current cultivation and magical power, he wouldn't be able to sustain himself until he flew back to the Heavenly Fire Sect!

Gale winds are still a very threatening natural force for Golden Core cultivators.

This wind has substance but no form, and it also has the characteristic of dispersing the cultivator's magic power. Although a Golden Core cultivator can resist the wind, it will consume a lot of magic power.

However, if a Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion stage cultivator does not have a special magic weapon to protect them, a gust of wind can take their life!

During the rest of the journey, Zhou Chun not only traveled quickly but also extended his divine sense without reservation to guard against possible attacks.

But he did not encounter any further attacks until the outline of the fire pit oasis appeared in his sight.

This led him to treat his previous experience as an accident and stop thinking about it.

What Zhou Chun didn't notice was that just after he flew into the Fire Basin Oasis, two figures suddenly burst out from under the red sand in the sea of ​​sand outside the oasis and landed on a sand dune.

"Fellow Daoist Han, if we just let that scoundrel return to the Heavenly Fire Sect like this, how are we going to explain this to Fellow Daoist Xue when we get back?"

On the sand dune, an old man in yellow robes, his face grim, couldn't help but mutter a complaint to another man in black robes.

If Zhou Chun were here, he would have discovered that the old man in yellow was none other than the Du-surnamed cultivator who had previously tricked him with the "Emperor's Dew"!

The man in black robes standing next to the old man in yellow robes was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Hearing the old man in yellow's complaints, the man in black glanced at him and said indifferently, "How to explain to Senior Brother Xue is my business. Fellow Daoist Du, if you are not satisfied with my actions, why didn't you deal with that person alone before?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in yellow froze, lowered his head, and dared not speak again.

He was self-aware enough to know that his strength was not outstanding within the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, while Zhou Chun was able to produce a fourth-grade low-level demon core, which showed that his cultivation and strength must be at a very high level.

He'd be lucky if he didn't get killed when he had to deal with Zhou Chun alone!

Fortunately, the man in black robes did not pursue the matter further. After giving him a warning, he looked at him and said, "Since this person has been staying at the Heavenly Fire Sect for many years, he must have something important to do. I will go back and explain today's situation to Senior Brother Xue. Fellow Daoist Du, you stay in the Fire Basin Oasis and gather more information about this person, and wait for Senior Brother Xue's further instructions."

"I understand, Fellow Daoist Han. Rest assured, I will keep a close watch on this person and ensure he doesn't leave the Blazing Sands easily!"

The old man in yellow nodded solemnly and made a promise with slight excitement.

He has never been a magnanimous person, and Zhou Chun's previous threats to him were enough to make him hold a grudge.

Therefore, he was absolutely willing to lend a hand in dealing with Zhou Chun.

After agreeing to the task assigned by the man in black robes, he immediately changed his appearance and transformed into a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, flying towards the Fire Basin Oasis.

After watching the old man in yellow leave, the man in black robes suddenly became serious, and a look of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes.

According to the original plan, he was supposed to coordinate with the [Abyssal Beast] to launch a sneak attack on Zhou Chun after it made its move.

However, when he discovered that Zhou Chun's divine sense was powerful, comparable to that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and that he also had a high-grade magic weapon behind him, he hesitated for a moment.

After Zhou Chun flew up to the heavens, he could no longer make a move.

After all, the [Abyssal Beast] was not his true contracted spirit pet, so it was unlikely that it would obey his orders to leave the safe ground and go to the high sky to participate in the battle.

Without the assistance of the [Abyssal Beast], the old man in yellow alone was not entirely confident that he could capture Zhou Chun.

Of course, this was just his public explanation.

In fact, he cultivated a secret technique that could increase the probability of triggering mental warnings. When he was about to make a move, this secret technique suddenly activated automatically and conveyed a warning to him.

This is the real reason why he decided not to take action against Zhou Chun according to the plan!

You should know that he obtained this secret technique through a fortuitous encounter after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Since he successfully cultivated it, although it has not been effective many times over the past few hundred years, each time it has been effective, it has saved his life and helped him avoid a life-or-death crisis.

Therefore, he no longer has any doubt about the warnings conveyed by this secret technique.

"Sigh, I should remind Senior Brother Xue when I get back. If he doesn't change his mind, I'll just have to stay out of it!"

With a sigh, the man in black robes quickly disappeared from the spot.

On the other hand, after returning to the Heavenly Fire Sect, Zhou Chun resumed his usual life, quietly staying in his cave and not going out, only occasionally receiving Bai Zhiqing who came to deliver things.

Over the years, through Bai Zhiqing's hands, he has also collected many special spiritual items from the cultivation world of Huoluo Kingdom, as well as various poisons specifically collected for Zhou Yuanlian.

Interestingly, after learning about the situation in Jingguo and Dazhou through her conversations with him, Bai Zhiqing also developed the idea of ​​traveling there.

According to him, if one cultivates in the Heavenly Fire Sect, there is no shortage of the [Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid] among the Core Formation resources, but the [Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid] is relatively difficult to obtain.

In the past, the Heavenly Fire Sect would send Nascent Soul stage cultivators to exchange resources with other cultivation world forces that produced large quantities of Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid, using the Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid as a means of exchange.

However, there are quite a few Purple Mansion stage cultivators in the Heavenly Fire Sect. For some cultivators who don't have very strong connections, the sect can only provide one portion of [Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid] at most. They will have to find the rest of the Core Formation spiritual items themselves.

Even so, it is already a very good benefit, enough to make countless family cultivators and cultivators of small and medium-sized sects extremely envious.

However, the journey from Huoluo Kingdom to Jing Kingdom and Da Zhou was extremely long. Even if Bai Zhiqing's cultivation had broken through to the late stage of Zifu, traveling alone would be fraught with danger and would often take more than ten years.

Therefore, Zhou Chun neither agreed nor disagreed with her idea, offering no comment.

After returning to the Heavenly Fire Sect's mountain gate and staying there for more than two years, Zhou Chun finally received news from True Person Yan Cang.

If you calculate the time, he has already been in the Heavenly Fire Sect for more than seven years!

Excluding the two and a half years spent waiting for Master Yancang to emerge from seclusion, and the time spent repairing the [Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle], Master Yancang spent more than four years refining this treasure.

This is quite a long time for a master craftsman.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun received the divine message from True Person Yan Cang, he was filled with anticipation and excitement, and hurriedly went to his cave to pay his respects.

"This treasure refining process has taken quite a while, and I apologize for keeping you waiting, young friend."

Inside the cave, after Yan Cang Zhenren and Zhou Chunxing paid their respects, Yan Cang Zhenren calmly nodded slightly to him and said a polite word.

Before Zhou Chun could say anything polite, he raised his hand and took out the two magical treasures.

Zhou Chun immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say, his attention completely drawn to the two magical treasures.

The two magical treasures were a silver flying sword wreathed in lightning and a five-colored scale armor radiating five-colored light.

At this moment, Master Yancang reached out and grabbed the silver flying sword wreathed in lightning, which landed in his hand. The strange phenomena on it were quickly suppressed by his magic power and transformed into a slightly curved longsword with a round handle.

Then he slowly said, "According to your own choice, young friend, I have refined that fifth-order thunder dragon's tooth into a flying sword magic weapon."

"This treasure is made from the most exquisite natal dragon tooth of a fifth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon, incorporating the horn of a Thunder Worm Beast. Silver and iron essences have been added to enhance its hardness, and the demonic soul of the fifth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon has been refined into it using a spirit-enchanting technique. Once completed, it will immediately be a superior-grade sword!"

Just a high-grade magic weapon?

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, because Yan Cang Zhenren's words instantly altered his demeanor.

Although he had previously said that Yan Cang Zhenren only needed to do his best, his expectations for this flying sword had actually been raised to that of a top-grade magic weapon.

Hearing that it was only a high-grade magic weapon, how could his expression not change drastically from the huge psychological gap?

"Young friend, don't panic, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Master Yan Cang glanced at Zhou Chun and continued, "It's not easy to forge a top-grade magic weapon. Although the materials you provided are of sufficient quality, the addition of a third-tier [Thunderworm Beast] horn and the need to bring out its lightning-devouring properties require extremely high crafting skills."

"If it were a grandmaster craftsman who cultivates lightning-attribute techniques, perhaps they could directly fulfill your request, young friend, and forge a top-grade magic weapon flying sword. However, I know I do not possess such strength!"

"Furthermore, the fifth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon demon soul you provided has lost much of its spiritual essence due to improper maintenance, making it difficult to provide the best assistance during the refining process!"

"Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided not to pursue the goal of refining a top-grade magic weapon in one go, but to refine a high-grade magic weapon first."

At this point, he added with no small amount of pride, "Although it's currently only a high-grade magic weapon, thanks to the existence of the fifth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon's demonic soul essence, coupled with the preservation of the Thunderworm Beast's unique ability to devour lightning, and the addition of the Spirit Transformation Array, this sword, if refined and nurtured by a late-stage Golden Core cultivator or a demonic beast using lightning techniques, should be able to be upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon within a hundred years, and may even have a slight chance of transforming into a spiritual treasure!"

After hearing his explanation, Zhou Chun's expression finally improved.

Although it's not a top-grade magic weapon now, it's acceptable as long as it can be upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon in the future.

He immediately composed himself, and with a smile, bowed to Master Yan Cang, flattering him, "Senior Yan Cang truly lives up to his reputation as a grandmaster of weapon crafting. He is capable of doing what others cannot, turning the rotten into the miraculous. This is the first time I've ever heard of a magic weapon that can be upgraded in rank after being crafted. It's truly an eye-opener! A real eye-opener!"

"I will not go into detail about the specific magical abilities of this sword; you will naturally know after you have refined it."

As Yan Cang Zhenren spoke, he threw the flying sword in his hand toward Zhou Chun.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly caught the flying sword, first transferring a wisp of magic power into it to leave a mark, and then put it away.

At this moment, Master Yancang raised his hand again and took the five-colored scale armor that was radiating five-colored light into his hand, saying, "This defensive inner armor was also made according to your choice, young friend. It was made primarily from the scales of the Five-Colored Dragon Fish and fused with five different types of spiritual metals. In terms of grade, it is a mid-grade magic weapon."

"However, I refined the demon core of the Five-Colored Dragonfish into a low-grade magic weapon, the Five Elements Pearl, and embedded it into the central array of this armor using an inlay technique. If the power of the Five Elements Pearl is actively activated to enhance this armor, it should be able to exert a defensive effect comparable to a high-grade magic weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's eyes lit up, and he quickly praised again, "Senior's ingenious ideas and exquisite craftsmanship have truly broadened my horizons, leaving me only in awe!"

Despite his flattery, True Immortal Yan Cang remained unmoved. He simply tossed the five-colored scale armor he was holding to him and said, "I've given you these two magic treasures. I'll personally pick the [Fire Element Immortal Mushroom] for you later. From now on, we're even!"

This decisive and efficient approach surprised Zhou Chun slightly.

He then nodded repeatedly in response, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I will always remember Senior Yan Cang's kindness and guidance, and I will never forget it!"

"Now let's talk about the exchange of the [Netherworld Soul Contract]. What would you like to exchange for it, young friend?"

Yan Cang Zhenren looked at Zhou Chun and whispered about another deal.

After returning to the Heavenly Fire Sect, he consulted ancient texts to find records of such secret techniques.

The result was that the [Netherworld Soul Contract] he signed with Zhou Chun was much stronger in terms of binding force than many similar secret techniques.

This made him even more eager to exchange for the [Netherworld Soul Pact] secret technique.

After all, there are very few secret techniques in the world that can restrain Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and for sects and forces, such secret techniques have an irreplaceable role in certain situations.

Faced with Yan Cang Zhenren's question, Zhou Chun immediately replied without hesitation, "This junior wishes to exchange a complete guide to Nascent Soul formation!"

He had previously obtained some insights into Nascent Soul formation from the remnant soul of Xuan Sha Zhenren, but Xuan Sha Zhenren was far removed from the present, and it was unknown whether the insights left by a mere remnant soul were entirely trustworthy.

If he could have a complete guide to Nascent Soul cultivators on forming their Nascent Soul stage as a reference, it would be of great help to his future progress in Core Formation and Nascent Soul formation.

However, Master Yan Cang was taken aback by his answer.

In Yan Cang Zhenren's mind, Zhou Chun must be a person with an extraordinary background and profound experience.

How could a Golden Core cultivator with such an impressive background lack the Nascent Soul formation insights of senior cultivators as a reference!

Therefore, it was completely unexpected that Zhou Chun would make such a request.

He stared at Zhou Chun with surprise for a long while before nodding and saying, "Alright, but I can only give you the Nascent Soul formation insights of a deceased senior from our sect."

The experience of Nascent Soul Formation involves some personal privacy matters of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Generally, Nascent Soul stage cultivators are not willing to tell their Nascent Soul Formation experience in its entirety to juniors who are not particularly close to them.

Most of the time, it is only after one has passed away that the disciples, when sorting through one's belongings, will send the deliberately left-behind Nascent Soul cultivation insights to the sect's scripture pavilion for future generations of cultivators to consult.

Zhou Chun was well aware of this, so he quickly replied, "Any insights into Nascent Soul formation from the last three thousand years will do."

"Then it's settled!"

Master Yan Cang nodded slightly and made the decision on the spot.

He then took Zhou Chun to the location of the Spirit Spring Fire Eye and had Zhou Chun bring back the Fiery Phoenix.

Compared to when it entered the Spirit Spring Fire Eye five years ago, the aura emanating from the Fiery Phoenix had noticeably increased.

In the past five years, it has devoured and refined twenty-nine fire spirits in the fire vein below, gaining nearly a hundred years of cultivation out of thin air. Its gains are considerable.

More importantly, nourished by these fire essences, its fire phoenix bloodline has been purified to a new level. Perhaps when it breaks through to the middle grade of the fourth rank, it will naturally grow a sixth fire phoenix feather!

"Your fire phoenix is ​​quite lucky. If it can truly break through to the fifth rank in the future, perhaps it can come to our sect for quiet cultivation. The fire veins below our sect are of such high quality that they rank among the top even in the entire far west, more than enough to support several fifth-rank fire phoenixes for cultivation!"

Looking at the Flame Phoenix, whose aura had clearly increased significantly, Master Yancang suddenly said something that made Zhou Chun slightly take aback.

After a moment of surprise, he quickly nodded and replied, "If that day ever comes, I will definitely consider Senior Yan Cang's suggestion."

Anyway, the Fiery Phoenix is ​​still a long way from breaking through to the fifth rank, so there's no harm in agreeing now. It's not like it has to promise anything.

Master Yancang seemed to have only mentioned it casually, and soon left the cave with Zhou Chun without saying anything more.

Later, in a precious medicinal garden on Tianhuo Peak, True Person Yancang personally picked the [Fire Essence Immortal Mushroom], which was over 5,400 years old, and handed it to Zhou Chun, completing the final step of his promise.

"Heavenly Fire Peak is not a place for you to linger. After you have finished refining those two magic treasures, you may leave. I will not take back the Heavenly Fire Token. If you come to the Fire Luo Kingdom again in the future, you can still receive hospitality from our sect with this token."

On Tianhuo Peak, after leaving these words, True Person Yancang returned to his cave, leaving Zhou Chun to slowly walk back to his residence, lost in thought.

For the next six months, Zhou Chun, just as Yan Cang Zhenren had instructed, devoted himself to refining the two newly acquired magic treasures in his cave.

Zhou Chun named that flying sword magic weapon the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword].

Although this sword is a flying sword, it possesses mysterious and divine abilities, unlike ordinary flying swords which are known for their sharpness.

The flying sword possesses the supernatural ability to automatically condense and generate [Heavenly Divine Thunder]. The power of the [Heavenly Divine Thunder] it unleashes reaches the level of a fourth-tier high-grade spell, capable of condensing divine thunder into sword energy to attack enemies.

He also possesses the divine power of lightning, which allows him to travel a hundred miles in an instant and take the enemy's head from a hundred miles away!

At the same time, this sword can also release the sealed Thunder Dragon Demon Soul within it, transforming it into a lightning sword dragon to attack enemies, and in a short period of time it can unleash power comparable to a top-grade magic weapon!

Most importantly, this sword has the effect of devouring and neutralizing lightning spells, and even heavenly lightning caused by celestial tribulations.

Before this sword, lightning spells or supernatural abilities below the fifth rank will be of little use!

It can be said that, in terms of power alone, this [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] is absolutely the strongest high-grade magic weapon that Zhou Chun has ever seen and possessed.

However, this sword is not without its flaws; in fact, its flaws can be quite obvious.

That consumes a lot of mana!

Zhou Chun tested it and found that the mana he consumed by controlling this sword was nearly half as much again as that consumed by activating the complete set of magic treasures, the [Dragon and Tiger Golden Rings].

If the Thunder Dragon Demon Soul sealed by this sword is activated, it will consume 10% of its magic power every ten breaths. At most, it can only maintain this for less than a hundred breaths before exhausting all its magic power!

All things considered, he actually consumed less mana to activate the [Moon Toad Pearl]!

This doesn't mean that the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] is more powerful than the [Moon Toad Pearl].

Rather, the [Moon Toad Pearl] is an external spiritual treasure, which itself contains abundant spiritual power. As long as the spirit of the artifact is willing to cooperate, Zhou Chun does not need to expend too much magic power.

However, when he activated the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword], he completely consumed his own mana!

Therefore, Zhou Chun still needs to decide whether or not to use this sword in battle based on the actual situation.

Furthermore, he was not a cultivator of lightning-attribute techniques, so he could not unleash the sword's true power, nor could he nurture and elevate it into a top-grade magic weapon.

It's fine to use now, but once Lei Jiao Bai Bai's cultivation reaches the middle or even upper rank of the fourth level, this sword will still need to be handed over to him for nurturing.

It's worth mentioning that demonic beasts are not prohibited from refining and using magical artifacts.

However, since demonic beasts do not develop divine consciousness before the fifth rank, most magical treasures in their hands are not as useful as their own innate divine abilities and physical bodies. Therefore, very few demonic beasts use human magical artifacts and treasures.

However, the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] is indeed powerful. If Lei Jiao Bai Bai successfully refines it, he can use it as an attack when he gets close to the enemy, so there will be no situation where the magic weapon cannot hit the enemy.

This sword will be even more useful when facing the Heavenly Tribulation in the future!

Compared to the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword], which consumes a lot of mana, the Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor, which Zhou Chun named [Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor], is much more user-friendly.

This item is a close-fitting inner armor with an automatic protective effect. When attacked, it will automatically condense a protective shield. The shield contains all five elements and has a very good defensive effect against magic and supernatural powers.

At the same time, the material of the inner armor itself can also withstand some of the sharpness of a mid-grade flying sword magic weapon, giving the master enough opportunity to counterattack and escape.

If Zhou Chun actively activates the embedded [Five Elements Pearl] and infuses his magic power into the armor, the defensive shield released by the armor can reach the defensive strength of a high-grade magic weapon. Even a high-grade flying sword magic weapon would find it difficult to break through the shield and injure him.

As a result, Zhou Chun's defensive capabilities, which were relatively weak compared to his offensive abilities, have been given an epic-level enhancement!

Having thoroughly mastered the supernatural powers of the two magical treasures, Zhou Chun did not linger at the Heavenly Fire Sect any longer and soon went to the sect leader, Jin Xinglie, to resign.

"Thank you for your hospitality and help over the years, Master Jin. It is time for me to return. If Master Jin or any disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect needs help in the Great Zhou in the future, please seek assistance from the Mingde Trading Company in Tianyuan Immortal City. I will certainly do my utmost to help in any way I can!"

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Fire Sect, before parting, Zhou Chun solemnly bowed to Jin Xinglie to express his gratitude for the hospitality and help he had received over the years, and made some promises.

Zhou Chun knew that since True Person Yan Cang had not taken back the Heavenly Fire Token from him, it meant that he wanted the Heavenly Fire Sect to continue this good relationship with him.

Then he naturally has to reciprocate and give something in return, even if it's just a verbal promise!

Jin Xinglie, seemingly having received instructions from True Person Yancang, nodded solemnly and replied, "I have remembered Fellow Daoist Zhang's words. Take care on your journey!"

He then personally escorted Zhou Chun to the mountain gate and watched his figure disappear into the distance.

Furthermore, after leaving the Heavenly Fire Sect, Zhou Chun did not linger in the Fire Basin Oasis. He immediately rode the Golden-Winged Tiger and flew towards the outside of the Flowing Fire Sand Sea.

After the deal with True Immortal Yan Cang was finalized, there was no longer any point in him staying in the cultivation world of the far west.

Now he just wants to go back to his family first, to properly digest the gains he has made over the years, and then go to the Lost Immortal Ridge in Liang Kingdom to bring back the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone!

Unlike when he came, after leaving the Blazing Desert, Zhou Chun only needed to head east.

He now has a fairly detailed map of the eastern region of the Blazing Desert. Except for a few places that need to be avoided to avoid trouble, he can directly cross most of the so-called dangerous areas.

Unlike before, when they didn't know the exact location of the Fire Basin Oasis in the desert and needed to find a caravan to act as a guide.

This also has another advantage: it will greatly shorten the distance and time.

Even if it doesn't travel in a straight line, it only takes a few hours to get out by flying across the vast desert. With the Golden-Winged Tiger's flying speed, it will only take a few hours!

Above the vast sea of ​​sand, thousands of feet high, a streak of blue light streaked across the sky from west to east, moving at a steady speed in the opposite direction from the sun.

Zhou Chun sat cross-legged on the back of the golden-winged tiger, seemingly with his eyes closed as if he were resting, but in reality, his divine sense was spreading out, keeping watch all the way.

Although he didn't believe that True Immortal Yancang would betray the agreement on the [Netherworld Soul Contract] and reveal that he possessed a great treasure, and he had indeed not received any related feedback.

But even in this fiery desert where he was most likely to be attacked, he still told himself that he could not be careless in the slightest.

Better safe than sorry!

Now he is surrounded by treasures, which even many early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators cannot match.

Therefore, no matter how careful you are, it is not excessive at all.

Beneath the sands dozens of feet deep, beyond the reach of Zhou Chun's divine sense, a colossal beast known as the "Abyssal Beast," a creature that strikes fear into the hearts of cultivators in the Fire Luo Kingdom, is traveling underground at the same speed as the Golden-Winged Tiger.

On the back of this [Abyssal Beast] stood three cultivators!

"This guy has an incredibly strong sense of vigilance; he hasn't let his guard down at all the way, his divine sense constantly on alert!"

On the back of the [Abyssal Beast], Xue Yan, with his red hair and purple eyes, looked up with a gloomy gaze, seemingly able to see the figure of the person on the tiger's back through the thick red sand.

He has followed that figure for thousands of miles, but has yet to find a good opportunity to strike.

But if you go several thousand miles further ahead, you will leave the Fiery Sand Sea.

Once outside, as a candidate for Holy Son of the Holy Fire Sect, he absolutely cannot expose the fact that he intercepted and killed Golden Core cultivators from other places!

"Forget it, let's not wait any longer. We'll take force and keep him here!"

After chasing for hundreds of miles, Xue Yan finally gritted his teeth and made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life!

boom!

Suddenly, a violent surge of spiritual energy emanated from beneath the sea of ​​sand, and a beam of earth-yellow light shot straight into the sky, heading directly toward the blue streak of light in the heavens.

But just as the yellowish-brown beam of light was about to hit its target, the golden-winged tiger in the blue light suddenly vanished from its spot, causing the beam of light to miss its target.

Then, several dozen feet away, Zhou Chun and the Golden-Winged Tiger appeared.

"So it wasn't just bad luck last time, I was already being watched!"

Zhou Chun looked down at the [Abyssal Beast] that had suddenly appeared below, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he muttered to himself.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he directly put away the Golden-Winged Tiger.

At this moment, Xue Yan and the other two figures also quickly took to the air and surrounded him.

Looking around, Zhou Chun saw that among the three, apart from Xue Yan, who was at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, the yellow-robed old man surnamed Du and the other voluptuous woman in red were both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

He had seen all three of them before at that exchange meeting!
