Chapter 520: City of Departure

ilding cultivators, quickly patrolled the air, searching for traces of the Xingmu fish.For over ten days, the group searched the lake relentlessly. Occasionally, they would find whirlpools of fish ac...A month later, a white light flashed, and Lu Xia Tian along with several others appeared in the teleportation array of an ancient city.

“Coming here through this teleportation array is truly unbearable. I'm almost at the middle stage of the Golden Core, and I still get dizzy. It's a real pain in the ass to buy it with spirit stones.” A slightly thin old man named Bao Lun trembled as he stepped out of the teleportation array.

“He’s just a bit lacking in cultivation and spiritual awareness.” The other elder, Chi Yun Sang with his crimson eyebrows and round face, was a late-stage Jindan cultivator with formidable strength. At this moment, he remained calm and composed, waving his sleeves as he walked out.

"That's right, Daoist Chimei is a renowned Golden Core Stage cultivator from the Cangjian Seven Islands. As for me, I haven't even reached the Middle Stage yet. How dare I compare myself to Daoist Chimei." Bao Lun heard Chi Yun Sang's mockery but didn't get angry at all. Instead, his tone was somewhat ingratiating.

“No backbone.” Another tall young man with a cold and aloof expression, Zhu Chang, also said a word, leaving with steady steps. Only his pale face clearly showed that this person was not as calm as he appeared on the inside.

As for Zhu Chang, a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan, Bao Lun also dared not offend him, pretending he hadn't heard. At this time, Cheng Qian, a diligent young man who had just formed his golden core, was already sprawled on the ground. Shortly after the teleportation array activated, he fainted amidst a dizzying swirl. He only regained consciousness when the teleportation array stopped, but his condition did not improve in the slightest. Instead, he vomited out some acidic substances from his stomach.

A pair of sisters in green dresses beside them looked pale, covering their noses and hurrying out at this time.

Lu Xia Tian also walked out at this time, his expression haggard. This long-distance teleportation formation was truly dizzying. Even a cultivator at the early stage of Jindan would find it difficult to bear, especially those with weak divine sense, who felt like every day was an eternity.

Of all the people present, only Chi Yun Sang and Zhu Chang, a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, seemed to be in relatively better shape.

Of course, Lu Xiaotian's state at this time was not really as bad as it appeared. The power of the long-distance teleportation formation was only borne by a few of his avatars, which switched between each other several times. At this time, Lu Xiaotian's face was also unusually ugly, but this was just an appearance in the eyes of outsiders. In fact, after several avatars took turns switching, the influence of this long-distance teleportation formation on him was there, but it was still acceptable.

The seven of them had been teleported from Lan Ming City together. They didn't know each other before, and they weren't even acquainted. It was just that the activation cost of the long-distance teleportation array in Lan Ming City was expensive. One person couldn't afford it alone, so they gathered people to activate it together. During this time, Lu Xia Tian had been refining the pills he needed for cultivation himself, and cultivating Yinye Futing, so the spirit stones left in his hands weren't many. Naturally, he had to save them. Besides, there was Chiyun Sang, a Golden Core late stage cultivator, by his side. As for that tall young man Zhu Chang, his strength was definitely not weak either. Even if he had plenty of spirit stones, he wouldn't spend them easily.

“Oh, oh, Daoist Lu, I didn't expect your magic power to be so profound. It seems that you are also a top cultivator among the same rank. You still have the strength to walk at this time. It really makes me admire you very much. This small town is almost the edge of the Azure Demon Sea Territory. Although there are many monsters, they are also extremely dangerous. We happen to be a group who came here together by teleportation array. Why don't we team up to hunt monsters” Bao Lan hurriedly called out to Lu Xia Tian and the other two female cultivators.

But no one was willing to attend to the elder's diligence, each leaving separately. There were also several groups of cultivators already waiting not far away, greeting Chi Yun Sang, or others. It turned out that everyone had their teammates waiting for them here long ago.

Lu Xia Tian stayed in this small town for a while. No one dared to cause trouble within the city, even in such a remote place, there was a human Yuanying cultivator stationed, but it wasn't necessarily true outside the city.

Only after the vicinity was deserted did Lu Xiaocen leave alone. Under his feet lay a vast, azure sea. Lu Xiaocen flew with his sword, leaving Li Shui City, which was located in a remote area, over 20,000 miles behind him. He passed several uninhabited islands along the way and avoided several waves of flying monsters. Lu Xiaocen stood on a massive rock. The tide ebbed and flowed beneath his feet. He pulled out an ancient parchment from his sleeve and unfolded it. Inside, there were some crimson and black lines, as well as some peculiar markings.

"The Misty Hall, according to the map's markings, should be here." Lu Xia Tian looked around, but saw nothing out of the ordinary on the island. However, according to Luo Ping'er's words, this Misty Hall was located on a floating island. This island was different from ordinary islands; it could move like a human cultivator and did not have a fixed position. Moreover, this Misty Hall was extremely dangerous. According to a secret story told by Luo Ping'er, when the Misty Hall appeared, it was often accompanied by unknown dangers. Her father had perished here over a hundred years ago. He had only managed to control a puppet with his primordial spirit and take this parchment back. Along with her father, dozens of Jindan cultivators, including several late-stage Jindan cultivators, who were hunting demons on the island and mistakenly entered the Misty Hall, also perished there. Her father's escape with just a primordial spirit was considered quite lucky.

Lu Xia Tian lowered his head in deep thought. He didn't doubt the credibility of Luo Ping'er's words, after all, the consequences for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her to deceive him would be severe. The Misty Palace probably did exist, but it was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. Over ten Golden Core cultivators had perished within it, mostly due to the Brahma Lotus Inferno, though there were other dangers as well.

Once Fan Luo Ling Huo was subdued, he gained a degree of self-preservation. At least during the Jindan period, he became a formidable existence. Fan Luo Ling Huo could later advance to become Fan Luo Zhen Huo, and even Yuan Ying cultivators would have to retreat when facing it. It could serve as a powerful divine ability for long-term cultivation. After all, with his previous experience, he didn't want to be like before, lacking sufficient means after forming his golden core. He was confined to Lan Ming City for twenty years. Even after leaving Lan Ming City and obtaining the Yuan Shen Jing Po of the Jiao Jiao Yao Ling with the help of Meng Lao Gui and others, using the *Swallowing Souls Great Law* to elevate his strength, he still felt vulnerable.

The only problem was that the Devouring Soul Art had a period of weakness in its power, and he couldn't guarantee that he could always refine a sixth-rank formation in time to deal with Yuan Ying cultivators. It was just like his cultivation realm in physical training, which he didn't know when it would be able to break through. And the Devouring Soul Art could only exert its true power when combined with physical training cultivation.

Even though Lu Xia tian could partially grasp the formations on the path of advancement, he couldn't fully master them. Moreover, the higher-level formations became increasingly difficult to refine as he progressed. They weren't something that could be refined in a short time. Therefore, it was crucial to cultivate divine abilities that could be used until the Nascent Soul stage as early as possible. This way, when entering the Nascent Soul stage, he wouldn't face the same predicament he encountered during the Core Formation stage. some time later, he once again arrived at the main sect of Fo Zong. After wandering around various clan territories for years, experiencing countless hardships and dangers, he finally returned to his...
