Lu Chen could see clearly that two black dots flew out from Chuan Ru Mage and then merged into one. It was unclear whether they merged or if one powerful black dot swallowed the other before plummeting toward him.
"Not good!"
Lu Chen, with his exceptional hearing and vision, watched as the two black dots in the sky suddenly became one, flying toward him. When it was about two to three hundred zhang away, he felt a pull. The closer the black dot got, the stronger the pull became.
"Danger!"
Without hesitation, Lu Chen turned and fled, using the Deer Demon Technique to dash across the surface of the sea. Qi Masters cannot fly; they can only jump. This is a rule, but if a Qi Master is willing to expend True Qi and Yang Yuan, then even stepping on a leaf can enhance their jump, and the same principle applies to water.
Lu Chen was currently running on water, trying to get far away before that powerful pulling black dot could draw him in.
With a splash, the black dot fell into the sea without causing any ripples.
Gradually, the thunder and lightning in the sky ceased. After completely sucking Chuan Ru Mage into the tornado, it drifted away on its own, and the surface of the sea returned to calmness.
Lu Chen was still pondering that black dot. This black dot had managed to escape from the tornado and forcibly swallowed another black dot; it must have some origin!
Earlier, Lu Chen felt that this object seemed to possess a pulling force, a sensation akin to being trapped in quicksand. If he didn't leave quickly, he would sink deeper and deeper until there was no way out. However, it was strange that it did not pull in seawater or fish.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen noticed that he was not far from an island. He placed Flesh on the shore and then used Yin Spirit Disembodiment to dive into the water.
Because Chuan Ru Mage had attracted the tornado, all the fish had long since fled. Even the surrounding islands and underwater terrain had been disturbed, with bubbles rising from the seabed like pearls.
Lu Chen swam down about thirty or forty zhang and could still see beams of sunlight shining down. But as he went deeper, it became dark and murky, appearing deep and mysterious.
But this was not a challenge for him; the Yin Spirit had night vision and was more sensitive than the white light in terms of visual and auditory range. Moreover, the underwater pressure was high, and the water quality was not easily muddied. Even if it occasionally became murky, the powerful water pressure would immediately push the impurities back down, keeping the water clear and bright.
Lu Chen's Yin Spirit slowly sank to the seabed, occasionally raising its head to look around. Finally, he spotted a bell about the size of a fist, quietly hanging on a sharp rock.
Lu Chen recognized this bell; it was the one that Chuan Ru Mage used to release poisonous insects from within. Therefore, that black dot that had flown by earlier must have been it.
This bell had somehow managed to escape from a tornado while simultaneously devouring something before falling into the sea and hanging on the rock at the bottom.
At this moment, Lu Chen was only a few hundred zhang away from the seabed. However, he did not dare to approach recklessly; when the bell fell, it exhibited a powerful suction force that was quite terrifying. If Lu Chen hadn't run fast enough, he might have been sucked in as well.
Cautiously staying in place for a moment, Lu Chen saw countless fish swimming near the bell without being drawn in. An idea suddenly formed in his mind, so he began to move his Yin Spirit closer to the bell.
When he was thirty zhang away from the bell, Lu Chen used a ritual technique to lift the bell and slowly floated upward.
If he guessed correctly, this bell would only absorb living flesh, such as Flesh itself, while the Yin Spirit would be completely immune. The fish and shrimp living at the bottom of the sea were accustomed to their environment and had a more yin nature, so they wouldn't be absorbed either.
"Friend, 'Jun Bell' is my treasured item. My junior brother Chuan Ru stole this treasure and colluded with Dual Blade Style and Giant Yi Nation, violating our sect's rules. He has now faced punishment and met his end. Out of pity for our shared bond as disciples, I cast a spell from a thousand miles away to seize a fragment of his Soul and placed it at the bottom of the sea, intending to retrieve it when I travel through Central Plains in the future. Although my junior brother Chuan Ru is at fault, he has already suffered punishment. I must consider our bond as disciples and help him achieve Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation."
As Lu Chen held up the bell and floated toward the sea surface, he suddenly received a silent message from within the bell that communicated with him.
"Who are you? State your name; how can you cast spells from a thousand miles away?" Lu Chen was taken aback and nearly dropped the bell.
After recovering from his shock, he attempted to communicate with whatever was inside using a similar method. Jun Bell seemed to be its name.
No wonder he had seen Jun Bell devouring something black earlier; it turned out that this person had cast a spell from afar using Jun Bell to seize a fragment of Chuan Ru Mage's soul, intending to use it to assist Chuan Ru Mage with Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation.
This person refers to Chuan Ru Mage as his junior brother, which makes him Chuan Ru Mage's senior brother. Chuan Ru Mage has already reached the peak of the Law of the Realm, and his senior brother's cultivation of Yin Spirit must at least be on par with Chuan Ru Mage, also at the peak of the Law of the Realm. The destructive power unleashed by a peak expert in the Law of the Realm is immense, and Lu Chen has personally experienced it, after all, he is someone who has one foot in the Void Immortal realm.
As Chuan Ru Mage's senior brother, if this person's cultivation were any higher, he would be a Void Immortal. Or perhaps, this person is already a Void Immortal.
Lu Chen has witnessed the Five Element Sect's Vice Master Supreme Young Sovereign in action, confronting He Yingqing, the leader of the Black Fist Sect, and one of the Three Poisons Wanderers, Yellow Scorpion Master. From several dozen miles away, he used two green leaves to firmly restrain those two, preventing them from acting recklessly.
It is important to note that He Yingqing and the Three Poisons Wanderer are also renowned experts in the martial world.
Lu Chen's master, Yin Boqing, is also a Void Immortal. Lu Chen has sparred with him; however, Yin Boqing was merely testing his skills and assessing Lu Chen's Qigong cultivation. Even so, Lu Chen could not discern whether he was using Qigong or Yin Method.
Void Immortal, Void Immortal, an illusory and deceptive immortal.
"I am from Yuanrong Immortal Island, a disciple of Xuan Huang Sect. Jin Zuo Ling Shou Jin Fa Wang. I see that you are young yet have cultivated both life and death; your Qigong has steadily entered Unity of Man, and your Yin Spirit cultivation has also reached the realm of Spirit Travel. Your talent is remarkable, and your future is limitless. May I ask which sect you belong to? Who is your respected master that has trained such a disciple?" This person who calls himself King Jun communicated through Jun Bell with Lu Chen.
He refers to himself as "I" rather than "this old man" or "my esteemed self," and his tone is quite amiable without any airs.
"Where is Yuanrong Immortal Island? Is it a mysterious immortal realm overseas?" In legends, there are many immortal islands overseas. The Three Poisons Wanderer cultivates overseas, claiming to be on Shark Island; however, in Lu Chen's view, Shark Island only has 'immortal' in its name but bears no resemblance to an immortal place otherwise.
"And Xuan Huang Sect must also be a giant sect on par with Five Element Sect and Taiji Gate. This person is a disciple of Xuan Huang Sect and holds a position equivalent to that of the host of Five Element Sect's Five Major Meridians rather than being its leader. No wonder he referred to my sect as 'my lineage' instead of 'my sect'; it turns out to be like this," Lu Chen thought to himself without conveying his thoughts to King Jun.
"I am Lu Chen; my master is Elder Yin Boqing from Five Element Sect," Lu Chen communicated to King Jun.
If he mentioned Li Shian's name, the other party might not recognize it. Yin Boqing might not be known to him either, but he would certainly have heard of Five Element Sect. By saying this, Lu Chen was also trying to test how significant Yin Boqing's reputation truly is; he was somewhat curious about this person.
However, as soon as he spoke those words, he regretted it. After all, he was the primary culprit behind Chuan Ru Mage being struck by lightning. If King Jun were to seek revenge on Five Element Sect later on, wouldn't that mean he had harmed himself? It would be pure self-sabotage.
"Turns out it's Baiqingzi, haha. I encountered this person sixty years ago during my Spirit Travel in the Central Plains and had a slight interaction with him," King Jun communicated.
I didn't expect that King Jun had crossed paths with Yin Boqing sixty years ago during his Spirit Travel in the Central Plains. It seems that Yin Boqing's talent and reputation have already spread overseas; I just wonder whether they are enemies or friends.
"It turns out that Senior Jun and Master are good friends. What a pleasure to meet you! Senior Jun, being able to cast spells from thousands of miles away is truly impressive, and it has opened my eyes and enriched my experience," Lu Chen said, trying to extract some information from King Jun while flattering him insincerely.
King Jun replied, "Hehe, I wouldn't say we are good friends. You, young man, have decent cultivation and a sharp tongue; you are quite likable. I am currently in a deadlock and unable to extricate myself. My magical power penetrated here to seize my disciple Chuanru's soul, but after breaking free from the whirlwind, it has been exhausted. I can only let Jun Bell fall into the sea. Initially, I planned to let Jun Bell sleep at the bottom of the sea for a while until I could retrieve it after breaking through, but now it seems fate has led you to find it. If you return Jun Bell to the sea or directly send it to Yuanrong Immortal Island, I will be immensely grateful."
After listening to King Jun, Lu Chen confirmed his suspicions. King Jun was indeed stuck in a deadlock and didn't know how long it would take to break free. Even if he did manage to escape, it would take even longer for him to regain his strength.
Since that was the case, was there really any need to return Jun Bell? Lu Chen never intended to give back Jun Bell; why would he easily hand over a treasure that was now in his possession?
"What does Lu Chen take me for?" Lu Chen thought to himself. Such thoughts could never be voiced openly; after all, this matter was crucial and could easily provoke conflict. He needed a plausible reason.
"Senior Jun, after all, Jun Bell is a treasure. If we just let it sink into the sea, wouldn’t that be too wasteful? How about this: allow me to take it back to Five Element Sect and hand it over to Supreme Master Taihuang? When you break through, you can ask him for its return!"
