After roughly understanding the power of "killing by difficulty," Chen Yun and Niu Dali returned to the cave with Jing Cheng master to continue meditating on Daoism.
Or, accumulating strength.
He calculated the time.
He himself collected various spiritual roots and heavenly treasures, as well as breaking through the realm of earthly immortals, which took about two months.
Then, to comprehend the power of the "Strangle and Kill" principle, it took him another five and a half months.
It turns out that, without realizing it, eight months had almost passed.
Chen Yun calculated the time and should be able to meet with Yan Feng shortly to head towards the southwest basin.
So, on this early morning, he woke up from his meditation.
He looked at Niu Dali and Jing Cheng master and said, "Now I am going to meet Yan Feng friend. What about you?"
Niu Dali asked tentatively, "Chen Immortal, can Old Bull accompany you to watch the battle?"
Jing Cheng master was also very interested in this. "Yes, we will watch the battle from a distance, without letting you be distracted."
Chen Yun had no objection to this, slightly nodded and joked, "OK, maybe when I and Yan Feng defeat the spiritual beast and are exhausted, we will need the protection of you two."
Niu Dali and Jing Chen master smiled faintly.
Of course, they knew that Chen Yun was joking.
How Yan Feng is, I don't know.
The strength of Chen Yun, they are very clear about.
A person at the early stage of the realm of earthly immortals.
Also, he possesses the Dao body which can rapidly enhance his combat capabilities.
As well as the terrifying power of the law.
If Chen Yun really became exhausted, then the only possibility is that he is in a life-threatening situation.
Otherwise, even if there is only a trace of Qi, Niu Dali and Jing Cheng master might not be a match.
How could they possibly be of any help?
After discussing, Chen Yun directly enveloped the two of them and the Unicorn Golden Light Beast with his cultivation energy.
Everyone only felt the scenery in front of them flicker.
When their vision returned, they had arrived at a place where flames were raging.
Here, there is a boundless sea of fire, like the sun's true fire, which is as white as light.
The smallest flame was as thick as the neck of a water jar and about seven or eight taels high.
The most fierce flames were even more immense and spectacular, like a celestial snake throwing itself to the ground.
The terrifying high temperature swept through every corner of the surroundings.
Even Niu Dali, a mid-level refiner in the realm of human immortality, had a sense of hotness at this moment. It was as if one slip-up would result in serious injury from the true fire.
Jing Chen master's cultivation is much higher than Niu Dali's, so even in the face of the scorching sun's true fire, she could maintain a composed expression.
As the one with the highest cultivation among the three, Chen Yun naturally had no fear of the scorching sun's true fire.
Unlike Jing Cheng master and Niu Dali, who countered the sun's true fire by releasing Qi.
Chen Yun did not release his true energy throughout the whole process of countering the sun's true fire.
But those sun's true fires all seemed to "circulate" around him.
They did not come within ten chi of him at all.
And the one not affected at all is the Unicorn Golden Light Beast.
This guy has tough skin and thick flesh, and is also a natural "form and spirit are both wonderful," so naturally he has no fear of the sun's true fire.
Chen Yun looked around, "This is the outer perimeter of the basin. You can watch the battle here. If you enter inside, you might encounter the essence of the sun's true fire. With your cultivation, it may not be too difficult to counter it, but it would consume a great deal of Qi."
Jing Chen master said, "Very well."
Niu Dali also had no objections to this.
There isn't too much of the sun's true fire here, so the two of them will have to release their Qi to counter it.
If they were to enter the basin filled with towering columns of flames, it would indeed consume more of their Qi.
Chen Yun jumped off the Unicorn Golden Light Beast, landed heavily on the scorching hot ground, "Yan Feng friend is on his way here. We will wait for him here for a while."
Niu Dali and Jing Chen master replied with a nod and sat down on the ground, each one practicing their cultivation.
Chen Yun closed his eyes, while operating his cultivation method to adjust his state, he used the "all-knowing" ability to probe the environment inside the basin.
Once Yan Feng arrived here, Chen Yun would fight alongside the other in the basin against the two supreme spiritual beasts, so naturally he would take a good look at the "battlefield" condition.
On the other side, it is a place filled with endless flames, as if even the earth itself is composed of fire.
It is because it is so scorching that there are almost no growing earthly and celestial roots here.
Of course, it's almost no.
In fact, there are some scattered special earthly and celestial roots that can grow in such a harsh environment.
For example, the last ingredient needed for Chen Yun's Deification Soup, Hui Ling Chi Fruit, grows in the southernmost part of the basin.
The Chao Xu Qi is also located there.
As for the Zhuque fire spirit and the Chongming bird's wings, they are located on the bodies of the two supreme spiritual beasts.
Chen Yun knew that in order to obtain these things, he must kill the descendants of the Zhuque and Chongming birds.
After all, in order to obtain Hui Ling Chi Fruit and Chao Xu Qi, one must pass through the area guarded by the two supreme spiritual beasts.
And the Zhuque fire spirit is stored in the body of the descendant of Zhuque.
The wings of the Chongming bird are on the head of the descendant of the Chongming bird, but this feather is closely integrated with their brain.
Once taken out, the descendant of the Chongming bird will die for sure.
Of course, in order to obtain the remaining four treasures, Chen Yun must kill the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds.
At this moment, in his perspective of "all-knowledge," Chen Yun did not see the appearance of the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds.
Chen Yun knew that the two super-powerful spiritual beasts had the ability to "hide" and cover themselves, blocking his perception.
However, Chen Yun had previously seen these two super-powerful spiritual beasts, and knew roughly what they looked like.
For example, the descendant of the Chongming bird is a fire red divine bird as tall as a person, with two eyes each containing two eye balls, its body resembling that of a chicken, and its call as resounding and melodious as that of a phoenix.
The appearance of the descendant of Zhuque is somewhat similar to that of the descendant of Chongming bird.
It is also somewhat like a chicken in shape and has a fiery red appearance.
The fiery red color is not due to the wings, but because its entire body is covered in flames.
In addition, this descendant of Zhuque is a bit taller than the descendant of Chongming bird, about one zhang high.
The bodies of these two supreme spiritual beasts are not as large as that of the millipede spirit beast that Chen Yun had seen before.
Despite this, Chen Yun still knew that these two supreme spiritual beasts were very difficult to deal with.
After all, the weakest of them has the strength equivalent to the mid-stage of the realm of earthly immortals, how could they possibly be easy opponents?
He thought to himself: "I am not a good killer. If these two supreme spiritual beasts can avoid me and let me obtain Hui Ling Chi Fruit and Chao Xu Qi, even if I cannot get Zhuque fire spirit and Chongming bird's feathers, I am not unwilling to accept it."
Although without the Zhuque fire spirit and Chongming bird's feathers, he cannot refine the "Sword Immortal Gourd," Chen Yun truly did not want to kill the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds, such naturally born and grown spirit beasts.
The premise is that the other party does not block his path of seeking cultivation.
Whether it's the Golden Scissors and Golden Axe or the Chao Xu Qi, Zhuque fire spirit, and Chongming bird's feathers.
These treasures or materials for refining magical artifacts are all external things.
Chen Yun doesn't necessarily need to obtain them.
The Hui Ling Chi Fruit is different.
This earthly and celestial root is related to whether he can quickly breakthrough to the realm of gods.
Therefore, Chen Yun must obtain it.
If anyone wants to stop him from obtaining Hui Ling Chi Fruit, it is equivalent to blocking his path of seeking cultivation.
Obstructing someone's path of cultivation is akin to murdering their parents.
Chen Yun could confidently say that, aside from his parents and his teacher, no one else could stop him from pursuing his path of cultivation!
Even if his elder brother, Lü Dongbin, stood in his way, Chen Yun would fight with all his might!
Yes, his determination to seek the way of cultivation is just that resolute.
Decisively enough that only his parents and teacher can stop him.
Unfortunately, Chen Yun's parents had already passed away.
Even if they were to be reincarnated, they would no longer be the parents he remembered.
Therefore, the only person who can stop him from pursuing his path of cultivation now is himself.
That would be his teacher who has imparted knowledge to him.
But unfortunately, Zhongli Quan is still imprisoned in the Heavenly Palace's heavenly prison.
In short, no one can prevent Chen Yun from obtaining Hui Ling Chi Fruit now.
Unless he is killed!
"The basin over there is as vast as the ocean, and should be suitable as a battlefield."
Chen Yun was observing very carefully.
He began to think about what tactics he would use in the upcoming battle with the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds.
There is one point that he has been contemplating.
That is, Long Zhan Tian also wants to obtain the Golden Axe and Golden Scissors.
There is no problem with him and Yan Feng going in to fight the supreme spiritual beasts.
The issue is that they must not let Long Zhan Tian benefit as a fisherman in a trap.
Don't let it happen that in the end, after he and Yan Feng fight and kill the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds with great effort, they exhaust themselves, Long Zhan Tian comes over and kills them both to steal the treasures. That would be like him and Yan Feng becoming someone else's wedding clothes.
"This Long Zhan Tian has hidden her form, and I can't locate her for now."
Chen Yun furrowed his brow slightly, "In general, immortals can be found by increasing the exploration efforts when I want to know where they are, and by using the 'all-knowledge' ability, I can perceive their specific movements. However, it seems that Long Zhan Tian has a special method of concealment that I can't detect no matter what."
This is a potential hazard for him and the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds.
Chen Yun knew that he would need to conserve some of his strength, so as not to be ambushed by Long Zhan Tian hiding in the shadows.
He had thought it through, and decided that he could use "Everyone's Home" technique during the battle with Zhuque and Chongming bird descendants, but he would have to keep the "Encirclement Killing" law hidden, so as not to attract Long Zhan Tian who might be lurking in the shadows.
As long as the "Encirclement Killing" law is not revealed, Long Zhan Tian can also be killed in a counter-attack if she truly tries to ambush him.
"While I can quickly extinguish a supreme spiritual beast with the power of the 'Encirclement Killing' law, the 'Encirclement Killing' law will annihilate the opponent's form and essence, which is not conducive to me obtaining the Zhuque fire spirit and Chongming bird's feathers."
Chen Yun gradually cleared his thoughts, "Therefore, to kill the descendants of Zhuque and Chongming birds, I will not only rely on my own abilities but also have the treasure tools at my disposal such as Feng Shen Qiji, Qi Baomiao Tree and Wan Jia Denghuo. As for the 'Killing' and 'Encirclement Killing' laws, I can never use them, unless I no longer want the Zhuque fire spirit and Chongming bird's feathers."
In that case, it would only be when one's life is at stake.
Otherwise, Chen Yun definitely would not be able to use the 'Killing' or 'Encirclement Killing' laws.
These two laws of power are his last line of defense, ensuring his safety.
While thinking, Chen Yun seemed to have sensed something.
He looked in the direction of northeast and said, "Yan Feng has come."
Niudali and Jing Chen Daoist looked over curiously in the direction of Chen Yun's gaze.
Unfortunately, there was no movement at the horizon.
They wouldn't think that Chen Yun, an Immortal cultivating at the Earth-level, could sense wrongly.
So, Niudali and Jing Chen Daoist constantly observed the sky.
As expected, a bright light appeared in the sky after a moment.
Immediately after, Yan Feng fell like a comet striking the moon.
With a black robe and a sword on his back, Yan Feng came down and immediately bowed to Chen Yun with a somewhat pleased expression and said, "I haven't seen Chen Dao friend for a long time. How have you been recently?"
Chen Yun slowly stood up and returned the bow, saying, "I am doing well, allow me to introduce them. This is Niudali, my friend. Although he is not from the orthodox Taoist school, his ancestors were the mount of Lord Feng Jun Da, the ancestor of the orthodox Taoist school."
Yan Feng heard this and his expression changed. He quickly bowed and said, "I have seen Lord Niudali, who is a descendant of a prestigious family."
Niudali returned the bow and said, "There is no need for formality, Yan Mr."
Chen Yun then looked at Jing Chen, and smiled, "This one doesn't need an introduction, right?"
"Don't need it, don't need it. We are old acquaintances."
Yan Feng smiled and bowed again, saying, "Jing Chen Daoist."
Jing Chen Daoist folded her hands in greeting, "Yan Daoist."
After a while of getting to know each other.
Yan Feng asked, "Chen Dao friend, did you summon Niudali and Jing Chen Daoist to encircle and exterminate the spirit beasts together?"
Chen Yun shook his head and said, "Niudali and the Daoist Master Jing are just here to watch the battle. They have no interest in the Golden Axe and Golden Scissors."
Niudali and Jing Chen Daoist nodded in agreement.
Yan Feng looked a bit disappointed when he heard that they were not here to encircle and exterminate the spirit beasts together.
He sighed, "I don't know just how strong these two supreme spiritual beasts are. Even if we join forces, there's no guarantee that we can win."
Chen Yun laughed and said, "When we parted last time, I did not have confidence in defeating any of the super-powerful spiritual beasts. However, recently, my cultivation has increased somewhat, and I believe I can deal with a single super-powerful spiritual beast. As for you, Yan Daoist, do you have confidence in defeating one?"
Yan Feng thought for a moment and answered seriously, "If it's only mid-level Earth-level Realm, I can enhance my strength with secret laws and the sword I have on my back. I might still have a one or two percent chance of winning. However, if it exceeds mid-level Earth-level Realm, to be honest, I have no confidence at all."
At this point, it seemed he had remembered something. "Ah, Chen Dao friend, when we last met, you were already in the late stage of the Immortal Realm. Now that your cultivation has increased further, have you... reached the Earth-level Realm?"
When he said this, his tone was a bit hard to believe.
There's only one realm gap between the Earth-level Realm and the Immortal Realm.
In fact, the difference between them is as vast as a chasm.
Some people may not be able to break through to the Earth-level Realm in their entire lives.
The last time Chen Yun only had a cultivation of late-stage Immortal Realm.
How is it possible to break through to the Earth-level Realm in just a few months?
The result surpassed Yan Feng's expectations.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Five months ago, I had the good fortune to break through to the Earth-level Realm."
What... what?
Just two months after our last parting, you have already reached the Earth-level Realm?
Yan Feng stood there in shock.
He had thought that it was already exaggerated and hard to believe that Chen Yun had broken through from the late Immortal Realm to the Earth-level Realm in just a few months.
What he didn't expect was that Chen Yun had only spent two and a half months from the late Immortal Realm to the Earth-level Realm.
This made Yan Feng involuntarily draw a deep breath.
Only then did he realize just how terrifying the young Taoist standing before him was in terms of talent.
He dared not say that there will be no one after him.
At least, it is certain that there has never been an ancient one before him!
Seventy years old and already at the Earth-level Realm.
What level of accomplishments will he achieve in the future?
Yan Feng could no longer imagine what would come next.
However, after a brief shock, his heart suddenly filled with joy.
Why?
Because Chen Yun is at the Earth-level Realm!
This means that if they encounter two super-powerful spiritual beasts with Earth-level mid-stage strength, their chances of winning are very high!
In other words, the Golden Scissors and Golden Axe are waving to them!
