“Xiaoyao Zi, you don’t know what’s going on here, this place must be sealed up immediately; otherwise, it will most likely devour all of Tianyuan City as soon as the chaos spreads out!”
Indeed, it looked like the chaos was spreading out. People seemed to be more nervous right now than the time when the Forest of Illusory Moon collapsed. Immediately, the six Elders started to deploy the battle formation together. Zi Mo looked inside the chaos and muttered, “Young man, I’ve told you not to do anything stupid. This time, you have to make your own luck…”
This chaos had come up suddenly 18 years ago, no one could ever get close to it, nor was there anyone who knew where its edge was, but the Elders guessed that there had to be some mystic domain out there, right inside of the chaos.
The chaos was completely sealed up in two hours, now the place was just woods looking from the outside. In this circumstance, some Elders of the Immortals’ League declared that this place would be closed for three days. Naturally, this announcement caused a lot of whining from the disciples.
Going back to two hours ago before chaos showed up, this place was still the woods and Xiao Chen rushed in, followed by Xiaoyue, but she was stopped by an invisible force.
The moment he stepped in, Xiao Chen felt the Spiritual Qi, it was even stronger than that of Mystic Cyan Mountain, but when he looked back, he couldn’t find the way that he had come. Surely, he was able to figure out that the jungle was just a passage and he was in a different mystic domain already.
As he looked over the place, he saw the blue sky, white clouds, green hills, and clean water. This mystic domain was way larger than that in the Tao League. He didn’t know where the boundary was, but it gave him a strange feeling that he could not speak of for certain.
He looked around and found no danger, so he put Zhiluan under a tree and then sat cross-legged to start the cultivation exercise.
This place was abundant in Spiritual Qi. Xiao Chen could not imagine who had created this large base, but one thing was for sure, it could not be someone from the Daoist League of the Five Continents.
This place was filled up with Spiritual Qi because of the Earth Spiritual Meridian in Tianyuan City. Was there anyone really stealing the Spiritual Meridian?
Three days later, Zhiluan looked much better, the herbs grew above his head again. Finally, he woke up and muttered, “Am I… not dead yet? Where is this place?”
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and smiled. “There you are.” He spoke to himself, it really had to be in such a place full of Spiritual Qi to make it work.
Zhiluan crossed its claws over its chest, looked sideways, and sniffed. Apparently, it was still mad for being wrongly accused a few days ago.
Xiao Chen shook his head, smiling. “Why don’t you say something? Aren’t you a big talker?”
Zhiluan threw back its head and replied, “Boy, don’t you ever talk to me again, you are not my friend anymore!” As it said so, seeing a big rock not far away, it made a hand seal with its claws, and a lot of ivy appeared and covered the rock immediately.
“Boom!” A terrible noise rose up, and as the big rock couldn’t stand being closed tight by the ivy, it burst into pieces.
“Meow! What the heck! I did not know I am that good!”
Xiao Chen squinted and thought to himself, “Maybe this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Is this Leopard Cat Spirit actually much stronger than before?”
Zhiluan couldn’t believe what had just happened, so he made another hand seal and more ivy grew up around them instantly. They looked like steel, hard and invincible. It was only a moment before the hill was completely destroyed.
Xiao Chen threw back his head and laughed. “Leopard Cat Spirit, from now on, it won’t be that easy if someone wants to get you to make medicine.”
Zhiluan snorted, and with a sly look on his face, he ordered two vines to twine themselves around Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen sneered and jumped backward; however, he did not realize that there were vines attacking him from behind. In a second, his hands and feet were all wrapped up.
“I’ve said before that I will punish you human beings with thunder as soon as I regain my power!” said Zhiluan. As it muttered, all of a sudden, there were dark clouds gathering and rolling over to hang over Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen immediately felt the horrible power of the dark clouds, so he used his power to react in a hurry, yet he still could not get out of the vines. He yelled, “Dead cat! Stop!”
Following his words, thunder crashed on him with a big banging noise. In just a second, everything in the surrounding 40 or 50 feet turned to ash, his hair was messed up, and his face looked dirty and dark. Seeing his embarrassing look, Zhiluan couldn’t help bursting out laughing.
“Dead cat, come over here!” Xiao Chen got rid of a few charred vines, performed the psychokinesis to grab Zhiluan, and slammed it into a big tree miles away. With a loud noise, a tree large enough for two people to touch hands around was smashed apart. Zhiluan rolled over on the ground but remained unscathed.
Xiao Chen was shocked by the truth that the Leopard Cat Spirit indeed was way stronger than before. The thunder it created was great enough to be at the peak level of the Core Forming Realm. If not for him being stronger than ordinary people and protected by the Mystic Skill, he would have been hurt badly.
Zhiluan gnashed his teeth furiously and tried to attack again. Xiao Chen stopped him suddenly with a silent gesture. “Stop it! Something is out there!”
“Nothing is out there, check this out!”
Zhiluan tried to attack him from the back quickly, but Xiao Chen grabbed and then pressed it in the sand directly, whispering while being vigilant, “Cut it out!”
At that moment, he sensed something very unusual. Although it was weak, it still made him feel uneasy.
Zhiluan could not breathe in the sand, so it called out a flash to attack Xiao Chen. He got away from it this time in a hurry, but then the strange atmosphere had gone.
“Leopard Cat Spirit, do you know where we are?”
Zhiluan spat out the sand and replied angrily, “It is you who brought me here, how dare you ask me where we are!”
Since the Leopard Cat Spirit was asleep in the past three days, Xiao Chen did not get a chance to look around this place. But now, it looked like it was time to do some investigation, they at least had to find the way out.
“Come on, let’s go and see what it’s over there.”
As the man and the cat walked for miles, the farther they went, the more Spiritual Qi they felt, yet it always gave them a strange feeling. Suddenly, the wind rose up and it frightened Zhiluan, who jumped backward and hid itself behind Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen immediately took out his Unsullied Sword and looked around carefully, yet nothing was out there. He teased it by saying, “Hey! I say, with that great power you have, how come you are still so soft?”
Zhiluan blushed with shame. “Who needs your help? I am just afraid that you…” Before his voice fell, something was approaching very quickly. Xiao Chen grabbed him and jumped backward in a hurry. And as some dark mist gathered around the place where they stood, a creepy demon appeared in the mist.
“Meow! What! What the heck is this!”
The demon with a creepy look was about the height of an adult. Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and he could feel the lifelessness inside of it, it might have been created by a devil. However, how could a devil survive in such a clean and bright place?
There was no time left for him to think deeply, for the demon attacked him as quick as lightning. His sword whistled in the air, turned into white radiance, and chopped the demon into two pieces. The Unsullied sword was capable of protecting its master, so it was no surprise that it won this battle.
After the demon was cut in half, it turned into dark mist again and immersed into the ground. The Unsullied Sword whistled and flew back to Xiao Chen, surrounding him slowly, with the magic white light to protect its master from evil.
Xiao Chen looked worried, it was just an ordinary demon, which was not that difficult to deal with, but he still could not get rid of the strange feeling. Therefore, although this place was full of Spiritual Qi, they’d better leave this place soon.
So they walk forward for miles again, and later on, they saw a small pool from the distance. The pool was quiet, mirroring the blue sky like a greenish-amber. There was a stone tablet by the pool, but they were just too far away to clearly see what was carved onto it.
By the time they got to pool, Zhiluan looked at the characters on the stone tablet and read, “Three fishes?”
. Xiao Chen looks down at him and said, “Don’t read it out loud if you don’t know what it says… Don’t embarrass yourself. It says Sansheng Pool.”
Zhiluan blushed and said, “Who asked you!”
Sansheng Pool, the characters were carved onto the stone tablet clearly, but they were not the common characters in use. They were the characters from the Immortal Century.
Xiao Chen found himself troubled by thoughts. “What is this place? Why does it use characters from the Immortal Century?”
But at this moment, Zhiluan screamed, “Boy, look!”
