Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 31 Chaotic Star Sea

Seeing the demonic cultivators retreat, Chen Liang turned to look at Nangong Wan, whose aura had weakened.

Nangong Wan completely disregarded her injuries, her phoenix eyes fixed on Han Li, a gaze that made Han Li feel as if he had thorns in his back.

Chen Liang shrugged helplessly, then steered the Wind Spirit Shuttle back to Yan Family Fortress, leaving the space to Nangong Wan and Han Li.

A few days later, when Han Li returned, he not only had a slap mark on his face, but his aura had also dropped to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It seems that healing Nangong Wan was indeed fraught with difficulties and quite taxing.

Without paying much attention to the entanglement between Han Li and Nangong Wan, Chen Liang led the team to set off after Han Li returned, and soon arrived at the stone cave where the ancient teleportation array was located.

The ancient teleportation array had already been repaired, and Chen Liang had even used a lot of spirit stones to charge it in advance, so the group could use it immediately upon arrival.

So Chen Liang activated the ancient teleportation array and took out the Great Teleportation Token, pouring spiritual power into it.

Driven by spiritual power, the Great Teleportation Token quickly emitted a light screen, protecting Chen Liang and his group.

The next moment, with a burst of spiritual light and spatial fluctuations, Chen Liang and his group disappeared from the Tiannan Continent.

The surrounding illusionary array completely concealed everything, leaving the demonic cultivators stationed at the spirit stone mine unaware of it.

In the Chaotic Star Sea, on an unnamed, remote island, a burst of spiritual light appeared, and Chen Liang and his group materialized out of thin air.

This is a long-abandoned secret room, and the ancient teleportation array beneath Chen Liang's feet is the only thing that is still usable in this secret room.

Because the dust and musty smell permeating the secret room were really unpleasant, Chen Liang and his group didn't look around much and quickly pushed open the stone door of the secret room and walked out up the stairs.

Finally, as Chen Liang used the Light-Chasing Sword to cleave through the rocks and mud blocking their path, a boundless sea appeared before them.

This is the Chaotic Star Sea.

At that moment, a sea breeze blew by, ruffling everyone's hair and robes.

The unique atmosphere and scene left Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, Xiaomei, and Han Li, who had never seen the sea before, stunned in place.

Chen Liang closed his eyes, thoroughly enjoying the scene; it had been a long time since he'd seen anything like it.

The group spent several days on the remote island. Chen Liang would occasionally take Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin out to familiarize themselves with the sea area. Han Li and Xiao Mei, whose cultivation levels were only at the Qi Refining stage, focused on cultivating on the island.

In this chaotic star sea, those without a cultivation level of at least Foundation Establishment stage are not even qualified to venture out alone.

It's worth mentioning that Xiao Wu was also very excited after arriving at the Chaotic Star Sea.

Although Chen Liang had always kept it by his side, he hadn't let it fight on the battlefield, which made it somewhat frustrated.

Chen Liang promised that he would no longer restrict Xiao Wu's actions after they arrived in this world, which is why Xiao Wu was so happy.

For Chen Liang, this was a last resort. Ever since Xiao Wu's innate divine power transformed from the Five Elements Body to Five-Colored Spiritual Light, Xiao Wu was no longer an ordinary peacock demon beast, but a kind of celestial spirit beast known by cultivators as the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator near the battlefield were to discover a powerful and magical beast like this, things could get really messy.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain and the Spirit Control Sect will be the first to rush in and seize it, regardless of the consequences. The Nascent Soul cultivators from the Seven Sects and the Six Demonic Sects will also fight to the death for it.

Then the Nascent Soul cultivators from the entire Tiannan region, the Mulan Grassland, and the Tuwu people will swarm in. Chen Liang doesn't know if Xiao Wu will live or die then, but he's definitely going to die.

Because Chen Liang only used a spirit contract, a kind of soul restriction, to take Xiao Wu as a spirit pet, as long as Chen Liang is killed before he detonates the spirit contract, Xiao Wu will not die.

Fortunately, apart from being able to unleash five-colored spiritual light, the Spirit Rhinoceros Peacock looks no different from an ordinary peacock demon beast on the surface; otherwise, Chen Liang would not have dared to let anyone see Xiao Wu.

A few days later, Chen Liang, Chen Qiaoqian, and Xin Ruyin rescued a cargo ship from an attack by a group of low-level demonic beasts and a level-two demonic beast.

According to the dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators on the cargo ship, the Foundation Establishment cultivator responsible for escorting the cargo ship had gone out and had not returned for a long time, and was probably already dead. That's why they were in such a sorry state when they encountered such an ordinary small group of beasts.

Afterwards, the Qi Refining cultivators and ordinary people on the cargo ship asked Chen Liang and his two companions to escort them to Kui Xing Island, promising that their patron would reward them handsomely.

Chen Liang didn't care much about their boss's generous thanks, but this was an opportunity for them to integrate into the Chaotic Star Sea.

So Chen Liang set up a high-level illusion array at the entrance of the cave leading to the ancient teleportation array, and then led everyone away from that remote island, preparing to take a cargo ship to the nearby Kui Xing Island.

In this way, the group could interact more with local cultivators and mortals along the way, becoming familiar with the language and writing system of the Chaotic Star Sea while also learning more about its customs and traditions.

A month later, the cargo ship arrived at Kuixing Island, and by this time Chen Liang and his group were no different from ordinary cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Soon after Chen Liang and his group disembarked, they received a gift of gratitude from the owner of the cargo ship, a local cultivation family surnamed Huang, whose patriarch was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Liang and his group left.

Afterwards, Chen Liang and his group visited several famous cities on the island and the cultivator markets there, purchasing a lot of unique cultivation techniques, pills, pill formulas, and some miscellaneous notes that recorded interesting stories about the Chaotic Star Sea.

Of course, they also saw a wide variety of demon beast resources that would dazzle the local cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea and drive ordinary cultivators of the Southern Heaven crazy, but the group only purchased some that interested them.

After all, if they wanted a large amount of monster resources, it was more practical to hunt monsters in the outer sea themselves. Otherwise, even if Chen Liang and his group were wealthy, they couldn't withstand such consumption and it would only increase the risks.

Even so, Chen Liang and his group went through a series of emotional shifts, from excitement to calm, and then from calm to numbness, before finally settling down for the night in an inn in Tiandu Street.

Afterwards, Chen Liang went out alone, riding the Wind Spirit Shuttle to the location of Xiao Huan Island that he had found out.

The spiritual energy on Xiaohuan Island is scarce, and only Qi Refining cultivators would choose it as their cave dwelling place. However, a remarkable insect, the Gold-Eating Insect, is hidden underground on Xiaohuan Island.

The Gold-Eating Insect is a gregarious and ferocious insect that feeds on metal-related spiritual objects and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is not only impervious to water and fire and difficult to penetrate with swords and spears, but it can also devour everything and turn it into its own use, which is quite similar to Chen Liang's Primordial True Fire.

It ranks twelfth on the list of wondrous insects of Spirit Beast Mountain. But this ranking is just for show; in terms of origin and potential, it is the number one wondrous insect even in the Immortal Realm.

However, the Gold-Eating Insects also have weaknesses. They can be trapped by jade objects and are also restrained by spider-like mythical beasts.

Although Chen Liang didn't have any spider-like beasts at hand, he had some Blood Jade Spider Silk and plenty of jade, so he wasn't worried about dealing with the Gold-Eating Insects.

Soon, Chen Liang arrived at Xiao Huan Island. At this time, no cultivators had built cave dwellings on Xiao Huan Island, so Chen Liang landed directly on the island and used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape downwards) to escape.
