The whole great sea broke into pieces because Chen Yun and Bai Nujiao were practicing magic and fighting with each other.
Looking at the scene of desolation, Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately, he emitted a strong green glow throughout his body, releasing the power of "Life's Path" downward, spreading it out, causing all the living creatures within the vast sea to rapidly recover.
Although many of the destroyed flora and fauna were reduced to rubble and could not be restored, some of the surviving plants and animals that were still alive could still survive after being nourished by the "Way of Life" stream.
Chen Yun has always had a kind heart, and he was naturally willing to squander some spiritual essence to save these plants and animals.
In no time, his spiritual essence inside him was consumed about half, and the underwater plants and animals were almost cured.
After finishing all of this, Chen Yun finally approached the starry sky in front of him, which was protected by the wind flag power.
He reached out and plucked one starry sky Yuan Fruit after another.
Chen Yun pondered for a moment, took out a small bronze cauldron, and placed these fruits into the secret compartment.
He did this out of fear that the Starry Sky Yuan Fruit would deteriorate if exposed to a single element of the Five Elements.
"It's fortunate that before this, Bai Nujiao told me the true method of picking the Starry Sky Yuan Fruit to lure me underwater; otherwise, without knowing anything about it, even if I found the fruit, I might not have been able to pick it successfully."
Chen Yun felt very satisfied.
He had managed to acquire another key herb required for the 'Elixir of Transformation'.
Now both the Lingshuo Cloud White Flower and the Starry Sky Yuan Fruit have been found.
He can now go to meet Niuda Liuhu and rush to Māozhā Mountain.
Previously, Chen Yun had heard Niuda Liuhu speak about the wonders of Māozhā Mountain.
Although the environment there is rather harsh, it grows more high-quality spiritual roots and natural treasures of the heavens and earth.
Perhaps, it really depends on this trip to Māozhā Mountain to gather the materials needed to make the 'Cutting Immortal Melon' and the 'Astral Transformation Soup'.
After picking the Starry Sky Yuan Fruit.
Chen Yun did not leave the seabed immediately.
Instead, he released his spiritual consciousness to sense it.
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and he reached out in mid-air towards the westward position.
Instantly, the sea floor soil, healed by the "Path of Life" spiritual qi, began to churn and swirl.
Suddenly, a bright yellow garment emerged from the soil and flew directly towards Chen Yun's palm.
Chen Yun reached out and caught the "Bind Immortal Cloak" in his hand.
"I remember Bai Nujiao said that if this treasure is used properly, it might even be able to bind a celestial immortal. I don't know if that's true or not."
He tried to use the "sword technique" method to gain control of the "Bind Immortal Cloak".
In the next moment, a feeling of being able to control it as easily as one controls their arm was transmitted.
Chen Yun looked around.
He noticed a large whale slowly swimming in front of him.
He tried to invoke the "Bind Immortal Cloak".
The "Bind Immortal Cloak" shot towards the whale immediately.
The speed was incredibly fast.
Fast enough that Chen Yun, as the controller, didn't even realize it.
Of course, the whale was unable to evade it.
The "Bind Immortal Cloak" enveloped the whale instantly, and expanded in an instant, becoming a gigantic cloak that firmly bound the whale and kept it from moving.
"Oh, so the "Bind Immortal Cloak" automatically changes size based on its target."
As Chen Yun reached out to recall the "Bind Immortal Cloak," he thought to himself in his heart, "And from the fact that the whale was bound and couldn't move, as well as from my previous experience with the pseudo-body outside my actual body using the 'Nine and Eight Supreme Exercise,' it seems that this 'Bind Immortal Cloak' can only restrict an enemy's movements but not completely limit the use of internal strength. It does impose some restrictions, though; for instance, my pseudo-body outside actually had its strength somewhat restricted, perhaps around 30%."
From this point, the "Bind Immortal Cloak" indeed is a very powerful treasure.
For example, once it binds an enemy, the enemy cannot use the transformative arts anymore.
Secondly, it can also limit an enemy's use of their power to some extent.
It can be said that having such a treasure would greatly increase the chances of victory when facing an opponent in battle, as long as it is used correctly.
Of course, the "Bind Immortal Cloak" is not without its flaws.
Like common artifacts and magical items, it does not have a "lock" function.
In short, it cannot function without hitting the enemy.
Thinking about it, Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh and cry, "I, a Taoist from the Xuanmen sect, keep receiving these stealthy and underhanded treasures. What gives?"
Although he felt somewhat speechless, one never has too many treasures.
Furthermore, since he became an immortal after obtaining his cultivation, many of the previous magical items that were "weak in power" were no longer suitable for him to use and needed to be supplemented with new ones.
Now that he had this "Bind Immortal Cloak," it was a nice addition.
Chen Yun stored this "Bind Immortal Cloak" into the space created by the Potent Sky Art.
The Starry Sky Yuan Fruit and the "Bind Immortal Cloak" today's harvest is quite good.
"However..."
"However..." Chen Yun's eyes slightly twinkled, "My biggest gain today is not these, but Bai Nujiao's origin energy!"
As the former demon king comparable to a celestial immortal, Bai Nujiao's spirit was incredibly powerful.
If she were in her prime, her spirit might have been enough to reduce Chen Yun to dust with a mere flick of her power.
It's a pity that her true body has perished, leaving only a lingering soul.
Now Chen Yun has a question.
How much of the original power of the spirit remains?
If it contains a substantial amount of power, it might help Chen Yun forcefully condense the shape of an essence into existence, rather than having to defeat Guo Teng Dao Ren.
Once he could condense the form of his spirit, his strength would definitely be significantly enhanced.
Just doing so would also have its risks.
That is, if his "DAOXIN" is not strong enough to control stronger power, he may very well go astray and become possessed by demons.
Chen Yun felt that as long as he didn't truly enter the Earthly Realm of Immortals, he should be able to control the form of his spirit without difficulty.
"Let's not worry about these uncertain matters for now. Let's see if Bai Nujiao's origin energy can help me condense the form of my spirit."
Chen Yun used his spiritual consciousness to probe and sense the strength of the origin energy of Bai Nujiao's spirit.
Chen Yun looked rather surprised. "This origin energy of the spirit is surprisingly strong. Maybe I can absorb it and thus condense the form of my spirit."
This discovery made him somewhat delighted.
He suffered damage to his "proud DAOXIN".
He was unable to successfully condense the form of his spirit.
It means that his cultivation has stagnated at the late stage of the Human Realm.
Even though his Dan QI could be increased, his actual strength was effectively capped at this level.
Now, with Bai Nujiao's origin energy of the spirit,
It can increase the probability of successfully condensing the form of one's spirit.
This means breaking through the current realm and arriving at the realm between the Human Realm and the Earthly Realm of Immortals.
Simply put, besides the spirit cannot leave the body and cannot reach the level of the Earthly Realm of Immortals, in reality, one can actually transcend the Human Realm.
This is Chen Yun's most idealistic idea.
Or, the best possible outcome of refining this origin energy of the spirit.
Actually, it's also possible that he won't be able to achieve that effect.
If Chen Yun cannot condense the form of his spirit.
The origin energy of the spirit would at most just enhance the strength of his spirit.
It would not enable him to achieve a sudden and significant increase in his cultivation and combat power.
"I hope so."
Chen Yun secretly hoped.
The underwater area is definitely not a good place to cultivate the origin energy of the spirit.
Otherwise, if fish or other creatures disturb him, he might cultivate incorrectly and waste this hard-earned origin energy of the spirit.
Chen Yun decided to find a place of tranquility to properly refine this origin energy of the spirit, striving to forcibly condense the form of his spirit.
Thinking about it, the water on either side of him automatically dispersed.
Chen Yun's body began to rise, and soon he found himself high up in the sky.
He released his spiritual awareness to sense the distance, looking for a place suitable for refining the origin energy of the spirit.
Within the Yuerantun Dian, there were actually many places that were not suitable for "cultivation" or "refinement" actions because this place was filled with too many spiritual beasts.
Fortunately, after a period of exploration, Chen Yun indeed found a suitable place.
In the boundless snowy plain, which was a million miles away, it seems that the climate is too cold, resulting in very few spiritual beasts.
"That place should be suitable for me to refine the origin energy of the spirit."
Chen Yun's gaze locked onto the location of the snowy plain, and then he transformed into a beam of golden light, speeding off rapidly.
...
After a short flight.
He finally arrived at the vast snowy plain.
Here, the cold wind carries flakes of snow the size of feathers, continuously falling onto the snowy ice ground.
Chen Yun extended his right hand and pointed at the location below a massive snowy mountain in front of him.
Instantly, a cavity shaped like an ice house melted into existence there.
Chen Yun immediately entered it, and then used his magic to block the entrance with ice and snow.
"So, even if any spiritual beasts come over, they won't be able to directly affect my refinement of the origin energy of the spirit. However, for safety measures, it would be better for me to set up a rudimentary defensive formation outside."
Chen Yun is always quite cautious in his actions.
Even if he is already the most elite force within the Yuerantun Cave.
He has never been careless.
One after another stream of Dan Qi emanated from his body, passing through layers of ice to the outside.
These streams of Dan Qi fell according to the positions of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, enveloping the entire ice mountain.
After all the Dan Qi had fallen, the ice mountain seemed to be equipped with neon lights, shining with a faint red glow.
The red light flashed and disappeared immediately, then disappeared into the ice mountain.
After Chen Yun set up a simple "Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Defensive Array" composed of Dan Qi, he immediately took out the origin energy of Bai Nujiao's spirit.
He did not refine it immediately but adjusted his mind, eliminating all distractions.
After completing all of this, Chen Yun slowly exhaled a mouthful of smog, and secretly thought, "After eliminating distractions, I can now refine Bai Nujiao's origin energy. I hope that after refining it, I can successfully condense the form of my spirit within my body."
Once successful, his combat power would undoubtedly see a significant boost!
Chen Yun was very much looking forward to it.
After all, he is about to head towards the even more dangerous Cat Mountain.
He naturally hopes his strength can be stronger.
