The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1546 - 1542: Immortal Tomb Ground

"Wind Wings?"

Shen Luo sensed the state of Che Qingtian and immediately recognized the origin of the pair of cyan wings on his body—it was the Wind Wings once used by Fu Gong.

Moreover, the Wind Wings of Che Qingtian seemed to be far more exquisite than those displayed by Fu Gong.

However, Shen Luo wasn’t the slightest bit intimidated. Ever since he had mastered the sixteen Pure Yang Swords, he had yet to wield the sword-flying capabilities of this setup fully.

Shen Luo began to chant Spells, formed a hand seal, and summoned all nine Pure Yang Swords from within his body.

The sixteen Flying Swords merged into one, and the Sword Rainbow beneath Shen Luo suddenly doubled in thickness and speed, once again leaving Che Qingtian far behind, swiftly disappearing into the distant horizon.

"What! This man actually possesses such a fleeing speed!" Che Qingtian was greatly shocked.

Although he still had several other acceleration methods, they weren’t very effective. Even using all of them, he definitely wouldn’t catch up to Shen Luo and had to stop unwillingly.

Shen Luo flew at full speed for half an hour, changing directions several times in the midst. He only stopped on a small island when his Mana was nearly depleted.

The island was only four or five li in size, with nothing but some ordinary trees and no particular oddities.

He opened up a Cave Mansion at a hidden spot at the foot of a low mountain on the island and laid several layers of prohibitions around it. Only then did he completely relax and lay down on a Stone Bed inside the Secret Chamber, falling into a deep sleep.

The Mana exhausted in the battle with Che Qingtian was not a big deal, but commanding the Destructive Mingwang Yan Armor had nearly drained his Soul Power; he was exceptionally weary and couldn’t hold on any longer.

Zhao Feiji emerged from the Qiankun Bag and voluntarily took up the role of Protector inside and outside the Cave Mansion.

Shen Luo slept for three days and three nights, waking up full of vigor on the fourth day, with all his consumed Soul Power fully recovered.

Che Qingtian had not appeared during these days, and it was unknown whether he had given up or was simply unable to continue the chase.

Shen Luo hovered over the Sea Area near the small island, looking out into the distance. Moments later, he flicked his finger gently. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

A red Sword light several zhang long suddenly appeared and with a whoosh, plunged into the Deep Sea below.

Moments later, the corpse of a black sea creature with its belly slit open emerged to the surface. The creature had a strange appearance, resembling a crocodile but with seven or eight tendrils on each side of its jaws and a hard-looking black ball at the tip of its tail.

He examined the sea creature, frowning slightly.

This Sea Area was very peculiar; the spiritual energy was extremely rich, but the marine life was sparse and the variety even less so.

Since escaping to this place from Tianyan Palace, Shen Luo had been observing the Sea Area and up to now, had only discovered four or five types of sea creatures; this crocodile-type was the most numerous.

These creatures were large with firm flesh and were not Demons; the same was true for the other few types of sea creatures.

"How strange, with such abundant Spiritual Power, one would expect the place to be teeming with Monsters. Instead, it’s so desolate. What exactly is this place?" Shen Luo was considered widely traveled, having visited many places across the Three Realms, but he had never seen a Sea Area like this before.

"Indeed, this is a strange place. It doesn’t seem to be part of the Three Realms but rather within a gigantic Secret Realm," Fire Spirit Child also flew out from the Free and Easy Mirror.

Nie Caizhu had not emerged; this lady was cultivating within the Free and Easy Mirror, attempting to break through her bottleneck.

"Indeed, it’s possible. But no matter what this place is, let’s first explore around. Fire Daoist friend, keep a close watch on Che Qingtian. Inform me immediately if he approaches. How much longer can your strand of Purple Heart Earthfire last?" Shen Luo said.

"Don’t worry about that. I have already controlled that strand of Purple Heart Earthfire and turned it into a mark. It will not disappear for several years. If he approaches, I will know immediately," Fire Spirit Child said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Shen Luo nodded and flew away on his sword toward the distance.

Three to four days passed quickly.

In another area close to a massive island in the sea, Shen Luo stood in the void, his eyebrows tightly knit.

During these days, he had been flying around various locations in the sea area, looking for clues. Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything. This place seemed to have nothing but an endless sea and isolated islands. The situation within the sea was the same as before, and no exit from the secret realm was discovered.

The only good news was that after observing for several days, he found that this secret realm did not seem to harbor any dangers; he had not experienced any attacks so far.

"It seems I entered this secret realm after being expelled from Tianyan Palace. To leave here, it appears I must start from that place," thought Shen Luo to himself.

But returning near Tianyan Palace might mean encountering Che Qingtian who could be lying in ambush. It was too risky to go now; he needed to find a way to enhance his strength first.

Fortunately, he had the Fire Lotus Pill in hand. With the powerful efficacy of this pill, if he could meditate in seclusion, though reaching Late True Immortal Stage was not guaranteed, advancing to True Immortal Middle Stage was still possible.

"Young Master Shen, do you see any similarities between this sea area and the Celestial Secret Realm?" Fire Spirit Child suddenly asked.

"The Celestial Secret Realm? That place also has a Boundless Sea Area and does bear some similarities with this location. However, I have subdued the Bi Hai Ray Fish in the Celestial Secret Realm; if this was the Celestial Secret Realm, I should be able to sense it," said Shen Luo, his expression changing slightly.

"What’s that to say? Maybe your Bi Hai Ray Fish is trapped in a place similar to Tianyan Palace, with too many prohibitions that can block your sensing," Fire Spirit Child said.

"That’s possible. Fire Daoist friend, why do you think this is the Celestial Secret Realm? It couldn’t be just because both have sea areas?" Shen Luo nodded and asked.

"Naturally, it’s not just because of that. First of all, the entrance to the Celestial Secret Realm is at the edge of the Boundless Sand Sea, and you entered this secret realm from within Tianji City. The two locations are not far apart; entering the same secret realm is very possible," Fire Spirit Child spoke confidently.

"That makes sense. What else?" Shen Luo listened and became more serious.

"Additionally, I heard from both Wanshui Zhenren and Yan Lie previously that the Celestial Secret Realm contains many ancient cultivators’ tombs, likely an Immortal Tomb Ground built by ancient cultivators. Immortal Tomb Grounds are always rich in spiritual energy but lack vitality, which is very much in line with the current secret realm’s situation, casting suspicion whether the two might be the same place," continued Fire Spirit Child.

"Immortal Tomb Ground? Once a cultivator reaches the True Immortal Stage, as long as they are not slain by enemies, they can have lifespans akin to heaven itself; why would they need a tomb?" Shen Luo asked with a furrowed brow, after hearing this.

"Who says immortals can’t die? All life has an end, it’s just a matter of duration. Although the lifespan of cultivators above True Immortals is long, they are not truly immortal. Not to mention the three calamities, as long as one masters the Transformation Technique, they might be able to avoid them, but no one can escape the calamity of Heaven and Earth. Once it strikes, no matter how powerful you are, survival is a far cry," said Fire Spirit Child after a moment of silence, with a solemn tone.

"The calamity of Heaven and Earth? Are you talking about The Disaster of Demons? Hasn’t that already passed? Or do you think there’s more to it?" Shen Luo thought quickly and spoke calmly.

Fire Spirit Child, with his extensive knowledge and insights into history, brought up The Disaster of Demons today. Shen Luo deliberately played ignorant to probe this man’s views on The Disaster of Demons.

"The calamity of Heaven and Earth is not so easily overcome. Since ancient times, it has occurred four times, each time a sea of bloodshed engulfing the Three Realms, countless lives lost to devastation, hardly comparable to the so-called The Disaster of Demons a hundred years ago," Fire Spirit Child explained.

"Is that so? What were those four calamities?" Shen Luo asked with interest, following up the conversation.
