Chapter 1709: 779: Great Wilderness (3)
In a short span of time, his Cultivation had actually grown a little.
Chen Shi was quite surprised. He was already in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, and it was extremely difficult to make any further progress at this level. One either needed an astonishing understanding of Daoist Skills, or to go into seclusion for many years for slow improvement. Yet a single Golden Fruit had made him improve slightly, which was quite remarkable.
“Do not consume them directly.”
Chen Shi advised Qing Yang and Huan Shu, “The Spiritual Power contained in this fruit is extremely domineering. You should place it in the Daoist Field and refine it slowly. If consumed directly, it might explode you from the potent medicinal power.”
Daoist Qing Yang and Huan Shu were taken aback and followed his advice, slowly refining the Golden Fruit in the Daoist Field.
The three continued forward, with Chen Shi observing the surroundings. They had already encountered twenty-three Spirit Roots comparable to Sky Sun Flower and Purple Heaven Vine.
In other words, at least twenty-three beings surpassing the Daluo Golden Immortal had been killed on this ancient land!
Chen Shi’s gaze slightly focused on a green rock.
The Green Rock lay between two Spirit Roots, a stone brick, half buried in the ground and half exposed.
He walked forward, brushed aside the dirt, and took out this green stone brick.
The stone brick was incomplete, with some peculiar patterns on it, but most had been eroded and were unclear.
“Is this the Green Rock that Ning Zhenzi mentioned?”
Chen Shi examined the stone brick, unable to hide his disappointment. He originally thought the Green Rock Ning Zhenzi spoke of would not lose to the green arrow he found. Unexpectedly, it was just a broken piece of brick.
“The Green Rock is extremely rare. Although it’s a broken piece, it is still an extraordinary Treasure.”
Chen Shi put away the green brick, thinking, “Even just this piece of brick thrown into the Earth Immortal Realm would be enough to make people fight to the death for it. I’ll keep it and imprint my Primordial Talisman on it; perhaps it can be refined into a Magical Treasure.”
The Green Rock is extremely precious; the green brick may be small, but it’s also a Treasure.
The three walked forward. As they exited this Spirit Root forest, countless ruins and broken walls came into view.
Chen Shi’s expression froze. These ruins and broken walls were actually all Green Rock!
In the Earth Immortal Realm, the treasured Green Rock, which took countless mining Immortals to dig up even a piece, lay scattered everywhere like discarded stones!
Chen Shi walked with uneven steps through the Green Rock and Spirit Roots. The Spirit Roots amongst the ruins were all thriving, each one not losing to the Purple Heaven Vine!
The prehistoric mighty figures who died here were each and every one existences surpassing the Daluo Golden Immortal!
Chen Shi walked through the ruins, seeing the remains of mighty figures lying here, their skeletons unweathered despite the ages. Spirit Roots had grown out of their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, with roots burrowing into the Green Rock ground, and branches stretching upwards, clinging to the sky!
“Why did so many people die…”
He muttered, “Why did so many die…”
He looked up to the sky, momentarily startled. The sky was filled with sparkling stars, but some places were missing stars, while others were densely packed, the result of the destruction caused by the turmoil of Divine Skills.
Chen Shi’s heart shook immensely. He looked back incredulously.
The Starlight Dao Sea they previously sailed through was formed by countless shattered stars, not a natural formation!
A long, long time ago, an unimaginable battle erupted here, shattering the surrounding stars in the Star Sea. The broken stars fell, forming this Starlight Dao Sea!
Almost all existences in the Dark Sea that could compare to or surpass the Daluo Golden Immortal came here.
In this battle, their Divine Skills caused stars in the farther Star Sea to shift; some places were filled with stars, while others were sparse.
In this battle, countless prehistoric mighty figures perished. After their deaths, the Spirit Roots they cultivated grew from their minds, absorbed the Daoist Skills from their corpses, transformed into peculiar lives, and formed this magnificent Spirit Root forest.
Chen Shi leaped into the air, scanning in all directions.
More Green Rock buildings came into view, along with traces left by the powerful existences who fought, deep ravines crisscrossing.
In the distance, the leveled mountains only had some ferocious rocks left at their bases, with various Magical Treasures made from Green Rock scattered across the land, hidden among the Spirit Root forest.
Some extremely large skeletal remains crawled in the mountains and forests, with Spirit Roots growing on the bones.
Chen Shi took a deep breath, calming his Heart Spirit, and at this moment, he sensed the intense influx of Star Power with his breath, giving him an extremely familiar, extremely comfortable feeling.
Ah, it’s the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection.
Chen Shi breathed in the rolling Star Power from above, subconsciously activating the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection.
Years ago, he had comprehended this Cultivation Technique in the West Bull New Continent, discovering that it could mobilize the Star Power of the Ancient Star Realm. Later, when he reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he once thought that the Ancient Star Realm was the All Stars of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Stars guarded by All Gods of the Heavenly Court.
Now, as the Star Power inflowed with his breathing into his entire being, making the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection incomparably smooth, he gazed at the stars beyond, “Oh, so you were here.”
The Ancient Star Realm was actually the Star Sea seen in this ancient land!
This is the Great Wilderness!
The Great Wilderness in the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection!
“The Immortal Emperor reached the Supreme Realm perfected the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection here.”
Chen Shi silently thought, “He had been here, borrowing the Star Power of this Ancient Star Realm to cultivate to an extremely high realm, possibly even breaking through the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. He took many Earth Treasure Spirit Roots, enabling him to rally those disheartened Immortals and establish the Immortal Court. But why does Ning Zhenzi also know the way into this place? Could it be that you came here with the Immortal Emperor?”
His eyes flickered, as Ning Zhenzi was obviously neither the Immortal Emperor nor the son of the Immortal Emperor.
So what could Ning Zhenzi be?
“Is it you, Primordial Worm?”
Understanding this, Chen Shi couldn’t help but smile.
He surveyed the surrounding area, his smile gradually freezing. What if the Immortal Emperor didn’t bring the Primordial Worm to the Great Wilderness back then?
What if the Immortal Emperor found the Primordial Worm in the Great Wilderness?
