The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 411 Entering the Cultivation World 2

After Chao Yao toured the cave and became familiar with the environment, he began to practice his original body's skills.

Tut tut...

It feels just so-so.

She thought about what she could replace, and suddenly remembered that in the world where Zhuge Fufeng stayed, the system gave her a treasure star map.

As long as she opens the treasure star map, all the treasure locations in the world will appear before her.

Chao Yao took out the mysterious treasure star map again with great excitement.

Under the stimulation of her spiritual power, the star map slowly unfolded, shining with bright light, and the signs of each treasure location were as dazzling as stars.

She looked at each sign intently, silently noting their location and characteristics in her mind.

In order to ensure that the treasure he was looking for could help his cultivation to the greatest extent, Chao Yao resolutely decided to go to the sect's library for a detailed comparison.

When she stepped into the library, an ancient and heavy atmosphere hit her in the face. On the stacked bookshelves, there were all kinds of classics.

She was like a fish swimming in the ocean of knowledge, moving flexibly between the bookshelves and carefully reading through the books that recorded treasures and cultivation resources.

After several days of painstaking searching and careful comparison, Chao Yao finally had a clear and profound understanding of the value and use of each treasure.

She took out a piece of fine parchment and began to carefully draw the treasure hunt route.

First, she cleverly connected the treasure locations that were close to each other and had a direct impact on improving her own skills, and carefully planned an initial route.

Chao Yao did not give up easily on those places located in dangerous areas but containing rare treasures.

She meticulously studied the surrounding environment and the numerous possible dangers, and thoughtfully developed a comprehensive response strategy.

At the end of the route, Chao Yao specially marked several mysterious places that were said to hide ancient magic weapons.

Although the place is full of unknown variables and unpredictable crises, she firmly believes that she will be able to achieve something with her own wisdom and extraordinary courage.

Everything was ready. Chao Yao took a deep breath, packed his bag in an orderly manner, and resolutely embarked on this treasure hunt journey full of challenges and unlimited opportunities.

The idea was great, but she was stopped as soon as she flew to the sect's barrier.

"Moonlight Fairy, where are you going?"

When Chao Yao heard the cold voice, he immediately realized that this was Su Junze, the Immortal Lord of Eternal Light who practiced the ruthless way!

She had actually thought about it just now. Although her current cultivation level was low, it was not impossible for her to fight Su Junze after making sufficient preparations.

But he has a lot of supporters behind him, not only the entire Apocalypse Sect, but also his family.

The original body had no one to rely on in this world. If Chao Yao relied on himself, even if he killed the other person, what would he do if his soul was tracked down by others?

This is the world of cultivation, so you have to be careful with everything.

Chao Yao looked at Su Junze and smiled awkwardly, "So it's Immortal Lord Changming. I haven't left the sect for a long time. I want to go outside to find some opportunities. Maybe I can break through soon."

Su Junze looked indifferent, his eyes as cold as ice as he looked at Chao Yao, and said coldly: "No, you can't leave. Twenty years later, you and I must become Taoist partners. Before that, you are not allowed to leave the sect without permission."

Hearing this, Chao Yao's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be calm, put on a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Chang Ming Xian Jun, you see, although there is a promise in twenty years, my cultivation is low now. If I don't go out to gain experience and seek opportunities, how can I be worthy of you by then? I promise that I will go and come back quickly and will not delay the promise with you."

Even though Chao Yao smiled, Su Junze remained unmoved, frowning, "Humph, there are opportunities within the sect, why bother going out and taking risks."

Chao Yao hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the opportunities in the sect are limited, and most of them are taken by the seniors. The outside world is vast, and I will definitely be able to find opportunities that belong to me and quickly improve my strength. In the future, I will also be able to help you and bring honor to the sect. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Perhaps it was Chao Yao's promise of benefits that moved Su Junze slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "In that case, I will go with you."

It’s really bad luck!

Chao Yao was slightly stunned, and said hurriedly: "Chang Ming Xian Jun, you are very busy, how can I trouble you to come?"

However, Su Junze ignored Chao Yao's reluctance.

His expression was still cold: "Don't say anything more, I'm here to protect you."

Although Chao Yao was reluctant in his heart, he knew that he could not refuse, so he had to respond: "Thank you very much."

"Where are you going first?"

"Misty Illusion Abyss."

Chao Yao responded with a gloomy look, and Su Junze didn't mind.

"have you been there?"

"No, I just saw this name in the library."

She was not so stupid as to directly say that she planned to find a piece of ethereal stone in this place.

I still remember that a long time ago, the system told her to create a space for herself.

Now she is already in the early stage of transformation, which is more than enough for her to create a growth space.

According to records, the materials needed to create a growing space are extremely rare and complex.

First of all, the Millennium Mysterious Ice Marrow is essential, as it is the key to stabilizing the structure of space and giving the space a solid basic framework.

Secondly, the core of the Nine Yang Divine Tree is needed. It contains rich vitality, which can inject endless vitality into the space and promote its growth.

Furthermore, the spiritual crystal is also indispensable. This strange crystal can give the space the characteristics of change, making it more flexible and diverse.

There are also deep-sea shark pearls, the mysterious power contained in them can enhance the capacity of space.

And the ethereal stone, it can make the connection between space and the outside world smoother and realize the exchange and communication of energy.

Finally, a drop of blood from an ancient mythical beast is needed to be integrated into it, giving the space unique spirituality and development potential.

Chao Yao's purpose of this trip was to obtain the Void Spirit Stone from the Misty Illusion Abyss.

This is the closest place to her.

Su Junze frowned when he heard that Chao Yao had never been here.

"Forget it, just follow me closely."

As soon as the two stepped in, Chao Yao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chang Ming Immortal Lord, this secret realm is filled with fog, covering the sky and blocking the sun. It's so mysterious."

Su Junze said with a serious expression: "The fog here can not only block the vision, but also interfere with the spiritual consciousness. Don't take it lightly."

"So what's so special about this secret realm?"

Chao Yao was a little curious. She only knew that the ethereal stone she was looking for was in there, but she didn't know about other dangers.

The treasure star map will only show the treasures, but will not show the methods and difficulty of obtaining them.

Su Junze was not impatient with Chao Yao's question, but answered carefully: "There are many rocks in this secret realm, which can be called strange and rugged. Let's talk about this 'Purple Flame Crystal' first. It contains blazing fire spiritual power. If it can be refined and absorbed, it will be a great help for those who practice fire-attributed exercises. Not only can it enhance the power of the exercises, but it can also enhance the ability to control flames."

"But it is usually guarded by a powerful flame guardian beast. The guardian beast is extremely ferocious. If you want to obtain it, you must defeat the guardian beast first, which is extremely difficult."

"There is also the 'Ice Soul Stone', which emits an extremely cold aura. It can help people strengthen their bodies and enhance their ability to resist the cold, giving monks an advantage when facing cold environments or ice spells."

"But it is often hidden deep in the ice in extremely cold places. The ice there is extremely hard and difficult to dig. It is not easy to obtain."

"Furthermore, the 'Ethereal Jade Stone' is also a rare item in this secret realm. It is said to be able to broaden the spiritual awareness of the cultivators, enhance their perception of the surrounding environment, allow the cultivators to detect danger earlier in battle, and improve their understanding during cultivation."

"However, the place where it is located is full of complicated mazes. If you are not careful, you will be trapped in it and it will be difficult to escape. You can imagine how difficult it is to obtain it."

"In addition, the stone 'Star Sand' is even more precious. It contains the power of the stars. If we can obtain it and use it, it is expected to break through the bottleneck of cultivation. It can also allow cultivators to comprehend the way of the stars and improve the power and realm of magic."

"But it only appears on certain astrological nights, and its location is erratic. To successfully obtain it, you must have great luck and keen perception."

Chao Yao listened attentively and asked, "Is there anything dangerous in this secret realm?"

Su Junze looked serious and said, "Of course there is. There is a kind of 'poison mist stone' that emits a colorless and odorless poisonous mist. If you inhale it carelessly, you will be poisoned, causing spiritual power disorder and even endangering your life."

"There are often poisonous vines lurking near it, making it hard to guard against. The 'Illusion Stone' can create realistic illusions that can make people lose themselves in them and lose track of reality, thus interfering with the monks' judgment and actions."

"There are many illusion traps around it. If you are not careful, you will fall into madness. There is also the 'Soul Devouring Black Stone', which will devour the soul power of those who get close to it, causing damage to the soul and regression of cultivation. It is also guarded by powerful evil spirits. If you are not careful, the soul will suffer heavy damage. We must be extremely careful."

After talking for a long time, there was no mention of the ethereal stone.

It is very likely that it has never been discovered by anyone, otherwise the madness of the monks competing for resources would have spread far and wide.

Before Chao Yao started talking, the two encountered their first crisis.

Only a low roar was heard coming from the thick fog, and then a giant beast with a huge body and blazing flames all over its body rushed out.

Its eyes were red, its fangs were sharp, and every step it took made the ground tremble slightly.

The flames on the giant beast were dancing, as if they were going to burn everything around it to ashes.

Su Junze's expression became stern. He protected Chao Yao behind him and whispered, "Be careful, this is the flame guardian beast that guards the Purple Flame Crystal."

Chaoyao's heart tightened. How come he encountered this thing just after coming in?

Although he was a little puzzled, there was no intention of retreating in his eyes.

The flame guardian beast opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing flames, and the temperature around it rose sharply in an instant.

The flames swept over like a violent fire dragon.

Su Junze formed seals with his hands, and an ice-blue shield instantly unfolded, blocking the fire attack.

But the shield also began to show cracks under the burning flames.

Su Junze frowned, muttered something, and increased the output of spiritual power again, trying to stabilize the shield.

Seeing this, Chao Yao no longer hesitated, and circulated his spiritual power to cast his own spell.

She was seen waving her hands, and rays of light shot towards the flame guardian beast.

The lights streaked across the sky like meteors, but dissipated when they touched the guardian beast's hard scales, leaving only a few sparks.

However, this seemed to anger the flame guardian beast, and it swung its huge claws violently, bringing up a scorching wind. Su Junze dodged the attack with a flash of cold light, and at the same time, a long sword flashed in his hand and stabbed at the guardian beast's eyes.

The guardian beast reacted extremely quickly, turned its head to avoid the attack, and spewed out even stronger flames from its mouth again.

Chao Yao took the opportunity to leap into the air, put his hands together, and shouted, "Spiritual Light Breaks!"

A powerful beam of spiritual energy shot out from her hand and headed straight for the guardian beast's belly.

The guardian beast felt pain, roared, and turned to pounce towards Chao Yao.

Su Junze quickly came in front of Chao Yao, swung his sword and slashed out a sharp sword energy, which collided with the guardian beast's claws, making a loud noise.

Amidst the flying sparks, Su Junze was knocked back several steps, but he immediately steadied himself and rushed forward again.

The two men were engaged in a fierce battle with the flame guardian beast. The surrounding fog was stirred into even more chaos by the fluctuations of spiritual power, and their figures appeared more and more determined in the shining of fire and spiritual power.

Chao Yao continuously cast various spells, moving nimbly around, his eyes eagerly searching for the flaws of the guardian beast.

And Su Junze, relying on his extraordinary swordsmanship and powerful spiritual power, bravely and resolutely resisted the guardian beast's overwhelming and ferocious attacks time and time again.

The long and arduous battle continued. The guardian beast's movements gradually became slower, and the flames that had been burning on its body also dimmed a lot, and its momentum was no longer as strong as before.

At this moment, Su Junze's eyes focused, and he saw the right opportunity. He flew up like lightning, and the long sword in his hand burst into an extremely dazzling light, and pierced straight into the guardian beast's eyes with a thunderous force.

The guardian beast instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was no longer able to do so.

At the critical moment, Chao Yao tried his best, and a surging beam of spiritual power whizzed out and accurately hit the guardian beast's leg, causing its body to shake violently.

Su Junze's sword pierced the guardian beast's eyes without any deviation. The guardian beast let out a heart-wrenching scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The two men were sweating and panting as they looked at the fallen guardian beast, their eyes filled with joy and excitement of victory.

Chao Yao walked forward quickly and found the purple flame crystal in the guardian beast's nest.

The purple flame crystal was like a burning miniature sun, with a bright and fiery red color all over. As the light flickered, it seemed as if countless flames were leaping and galloping in it.

Its surface is round and smooth, yet has subtle textures, like the traces left after a burning flame, full of mysterious charm.

There seemed to be magma flowing slowly inside the Purple Flame Crystal, and the heat it emitted made the surrounding air become scorching hot.

It is about the size of a fist. Holding it in the hand, one can clearly feel the hot yet pure power of fire, as if it has its own will and life, and is eager to pass this power to someone who can control it.
