Chapter 154: Mo Vortex Escape
Chapter 154: Mo Vortex Escape
The owner of this spiritual mark in the sea of consciousness has already found Shi Chen. As long as he is within three hundred miles of him, he can sense his exact location. Shi Chen is in a very dangerous situation at this moment.
He was fully aware of the danger he was in, but he had no way to escape it.
This cross-sea flying boat was escorted by a Divine Transformation cultivator. Shi Chen had no right to stop the boat and let himself leave. He could only wait for the next time the boat docked at a port to have a chance to escape.
Fortunately, within two days, the flying boat docked at an intermediate port.
After asking about the area and direction at the flying boat dock, Shi Chen hurriedly steered his flying boat towards the most dangerous black vortex in the Chaotic Sea.
The faint feeling of palpitations became stronger and stronger. If he didn't leave, he would be captured by the owner of the spiritual mark who was chasing him and become a fish on the chopping board.
The strength of a normal cultivator's spiritual consciousness is usually closely related to his or her own cultivation level. If one has not learned the method of cultivating spiritual consciousness, it is extremely difficult to increase the strength of one's spiritual consciousness to a level beyond one's cultivation level.
Judging from the strength of the spiritual mark attached to Shi Chen's sea of consciousness, he could sense that the spiritual strength had surpassed the fusion stage. From this, he inferred that the owner of this spiritual mark must have a cultivation level beyond the fusion stage.
Shi Chen's current cultivation level can easily crush the Jindan stage and can fight against the early Yuanying stage.
When facing a Yuanying in the middle stage or above, you need to use the secret techniques of spiritual consciousness. When encountering a Yuanying in the late stage, escaping is not difficult.
But if you encounter a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, you can only run as far as you can. After all, his cultivation is two levels higher, and his spiritual awareness is more powerful. If he has supernatural powers, or techniques that are the embryonic form of supernatural powers, it is definitely not something a Jindan cultivator can contend with.
As for the fusion stage, there is no need to compare. Among the human cultivators, the fusion cultivators are polite to you only because of your value.
The waves roll one after another, and even if there is no wind, the waves continue to roll. This is why the Langtao Sea got its name.
The water in the Langtao Sea contains a strong murderous aura, which is most suitable for cultivators who want to accumulate strength to practice here. However, if too much murderous aura is accumulated and not properly controlled, the body may explode and die.
As to why the waters of Langtao Sea contain murderous aura, this is a mystery. There is no record of it in books, and no related legends have been left in the world.
Shi Chen sped all the way, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, and the anxiety in his heart was like a tangled mess.
The ink vortex was getting closer and closer, and the surging aura seemed to swallow everything.
The Ink Vortex was extremely vast, encompassing an area of five to six thousand miles. According to monks who escaped from the depths of the Ink Vortex, the center of the Ink Vortex was an inky black area spanning a hundred miles. The waters of the Chaotic Sea were repelled from it, and any outsiders who approached would be sucked in.
Surrounding the Ink Vortex, there are harbors built on the larger islands to accommodate monks who come to explore and search for treasures inside and outside the Ink Vortex.
The ink vortex sometimes rolls inward, shrinking the vortex circle to one or two thousand miles, and then suddenly explodes, spewing out all kinds of spiritual objects and treasures from the center of the vortex.
Whenever the Ink Vortex inwards involutes, adventurous monks will enter this shrinking area of one to two thousand miles, waiting for the treasures and spiritual objects that will erupt from the center. However, if they fail to escape in time when the Ink Vortex erupts, they will be sucked in. The closer they are to the center, the greater the pull. It is said that even a monk in his combined form will find it difficult to withstand the pull if they are within a hundred miles of the center.
There are many combined monks who have been pulled into the center of the vortex, but there has never been any news of them reappearing.
The harbor where the flying boat stopped was still more than two thousand miles away from the influence range of the black vortex.
If Shi Chen wanted to get rid of the pursuers behind him, the only option was the dangerous place of Mo Vortex. With his cultivation level, he could enter the range of Mo Vortex for more than a thousand miles and be about a thousand miles away from the center of the vortex. However, at such a deep distance, he didn't know whether he could scare away the pursuers behind him.
After three days, Shi Chen drove the flying boat to the outskirts of the ink vortex. Looking two miles ahead, he saw the inky black sea water flowing slowly in one direction. The speed was not fast, only flowing three feet in one breath.
The water of the turbulent sea outside was light blue, and did not flow with the ink vortex, and the waves were rolling.
After folding up the flying boat, Shi Chen sank into the sea. After his entire body was completely submerged in the sea, he felt as if he was in a killing zone.
The distance from the water surface to the seabed here is not the deepest, about three or four hundred feet. Shi Chen sank quickly and reached the bottom of the sea. Two monks were walking towards him from a distance.
Shi Chen was unable to use his spiritual sense, and only when the two cultivators entered his field of vision did he realize that they were two cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage. After discovering Shi Chen, perhaps because they were unable to accurately detect Shi Chen's cultivation level through their spiritual sense, they came to confirm whether they could rob him or identify him clearly.
"I don't recognize you, fellow Daoist. Have you recently come to Mowo to look for treasure?" The monk in black Taoist robes asked with a fist salute.
"My two fellow Taoists, I wonder what brings you here? I just recently arrived at the Mowo area and want to find some spiritual objects in the sea to forge a top-grade magic weapon that can amplify water-based spells. Do you have any information about the source of such spiritual objects?" Shi Chen asked, pretending to be a treasure-hunting monk.
"There is such a spiritual object, and we two brothers don't go looking for it. Do you think we should go and snatch it together?" Another monk in a yellow-green robe complained, his eyes narrowed slightly and glanced over.
The black-robed monk's smiling face immediately turned cold when he heard his brother's words. He pulled the yellow-green-robed monk behind him, his eyes wary. He clasped his hands together, bowed again, and said, "I was rude. I hope you won't blame me. Apologize to your elder brother quickly."
He observed Shi Chen's movements with one hand, protecting the yellow-green robed monk behind him, and fear was already in his heart. This monk was so close, but my spiritual sense couldn't detect his cultivation level. He must be a being with a higher cultivation level than us. We must not provoke him.
"It's alright, fellow Daoist, but I need to ask you a few questions. I wonder if you are willing to resolve my doubts?" Shi Chen said with a smile, removing the concealment technique that hid his cultivation level, revealing his Golden Core cultivation level.
After the yellow-green-robed cultivator's spiritual sense detected Shi Chen's cultivation level, his face was horrified and filled with fear. "Senior... Senior, I was blind and offended you. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me this time." As he spoke, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his body trembled slightly.
The black-robed monk also looked terrified and said quickly, "Senior, it's all my fault for not disciplining me properly. I'm young and ignorant, so I hope you can show some mercy."
Shi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the two men. After a moment, he said, "Never mind. I won't make things difficult for you. However, since we've met, tell me about the situation within this Ink Vortex, especially the distribution and locations of spiritual creatures."
The black-robed monk thought for a moment and said, "Senior, my two brothers are weak and only dare to stay outside the Ink Vortex's influence. We dare not go deeper. All we have obtained are some ordinary spiritual objects. As for the water-based spiritual object you are looking for, we have never seen it before."
Shi Chen's eyes flashed, and he said, "In that case, you can go now. Don't harbor evil intentions just because you see a cultivator."
The black-robed monk and the yellow-green-robed monk felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They quickly bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your mercy, Senior. Thank you very much for your teachings. We two brothers will definitely reform ourselves in the future."
Shi Chen ignored him and walked straight towards Mo Wo.
When the two saw that he was about to enter the ink vortex, they thought for a few moments in the distance, then left together and searched in other directions.
The seabed of the Chaotic Sea was much calmer than the surface, but the heavy murderous aura around it made every cultivator who entered the seabed extremely cautious. Within a short distance of two miles, Shi Chen encountered three groups of cultivators who came to test and identify him.
However, they found that Shi Chen was alone and had the cultivation level of Jindan, and was heading towards the ink vortex, so they all retreated.
Shi Chen ignored these monks who were taking advantage of the situation on the periphery and resolutely plunged into the range of the Mo Vortex.
After stepping into the range of the Ink Vortex, Shi Chen felt not only the murderous aura of the Chaotic Sea, but also a pulling force pulling him towards the center of the Ink Vortex and affecting his mind. There was a mysterious guidance that pulled at his mind, as if whispering in his ear, telling him that there was a treasure ahead.
This is the characteristic of the ink vortex that disturbs the mind.
Anyone who steps into the range of the ink vortex will be affected by it. Qi training cultivators can withstand the pulling force of the ink vortex within a range of 500 miles, foundation building cultivators can withstand it within a range of 1,000 miles, and Jindan cultivators can withstand it within a range of 1,500 miles.
For a normal cultivator who has reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, being able to approach the center of the Ink Vortex within two thousand miles is already a determined and rare being.
With Shi Chen’s cultivation level at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, he was estimated to be able to approach the Mo Vortex by 1,800 miles.
One day later, a humanoid sea monster with the third level of fusion flew over the sea surface where Shi Chen entered the Chaotic Sea, took out a palm-sized glowing turtle back, carefully checked the instructions on the turtle back, and after thinking for a few breaths, took out a conch magic weapon, reported the situation, and then floated in the air, waiting for instructions.
Three hours later, an old man in a yellow robe came before him.
The old man's exposed skin looked like dead wood, his face was covered with wrinkles, his back was hunched, and he was leaning on a cane. It seemed as if horns were growing on both sides of his forehead, which were high and protruding, making him look extremely weird.
"Greetings to the Royal Ancestor." The combined mermaid knelt down in fear and trepidation in mid-air, its eyes full of awe.
"Stand up and explain the situation clearly." The old emperor's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he spoke in a low voice with endless pressure.
"Yes, Royal Ancestor." The combined mermaid stood up tremblingly and said with his head down: "At the order of Royal Ancestor, I got the spiritual artifact of the turtle's back bone and tracked down the person who killed the carp dragon. It took a year. Now the turtle's back shows that this person is less than three hundred miles ahead." As it spoke, it raised its head slightly and glanced at the Royal Ancestor's face.
"Well, within three hundred miles? Has the human race sent any combined cultivators here?" The Royal Ancestor asked with his hands behind his back, staring at the combined mermaid with sharp eyes.
"I have informed His Majesty the Shark King that according to the request of the Royal Ancestor, ten monks in the fusion stage will be sent here. They will arrive here in half a day. Please give your instructions, Royal Ancestor!" The fusion mermaid lowered his head again, his tone respectful, his body trembling slightly.
"Issue a wanted notice. Enter the Mo Vortex and capture the person we want. The reward is one spiritual object each from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage. If a fusion cultivator goes in to capture them, they can exchange it for a gold bead. Bring all the fusion cultivators we have captured here. As long as you go in and capture the cultivator and hand him over to us, we will set him free." The Emperor waved his hands, his voice buzzing, and anger overflowed. The air around him seemed to become stagnant because of his anger.
"Yes, Royal Ancestor!" The combined mermaid's body trembled violently, and he responded quickly, then hurriedly retreated.
