Chapter 2197 An Unexpected Encounter, Reunion with Chen Peng

Chen Xuan looked excited.

The next instant, he shot directly towards where Chen Li was.

When he reappeared, he was already in an inconspicuous corner of the Natural Hall.

There, all the demonic beasts, including Chen Li, Chen Xie, Chen Chong, and Chen Quan, had gathered.

Upon seeing Chen Xuan approach, the demon beasts quickly made way for him.

The place surrounded by the horde of demonic beasts was a small, icy pool, only a few feet in size.

A thick, ethereal aura emanated from the icy pool.

A pool of crystal-clear elixir, exuding a terrifying chill, lay quietly within.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the immortal liquid, and his expression immediately lit up with joy.

"Haha, it really is the Cicada in Autumn Dew."

Chen Xuan looked excited.

Looking at the cicadas and autumn dew before him, he wished he could refine them directly.

"Master, let's collect these cicada buds and autumn dews first!" Chen Xie reminded him.

"it is good!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

They took out a large bottle and, together with the other demon beasts, began collecting the Autumn Dew of the Cicada.

After a meal, all the autumn dew from the cicadas was collected into a jade bottle.

There were a total of thirty-five bottles.

It is enough for Chen Xuan to practice for a long time.

"These autumn dews will also be helpful for your cultivation. I'll give each of you three bottles!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

He took out twelve bottles of Autumn Dew and distributed them to the four demon beasts: Chen Xie, Chen Chong, Chen Quan, and Chen Li.

Unexpectedly, Chen Quan did not accept it. Instead, he looked at Chen Xuan and waved his hand repeatedly.

"Master, while the Autumn Dew of the Cicada does help me improve my cultivation to some extent, its effect is actually not as good as the Myriad Springs Water."

"I still have some Myriad Spirit Water, enough for my cultivation."

"Keep my share of autumn dew for your own use, Master."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan burst out laughing.

"You're being too polite with me. But you're right. You specialize in the power of water-attribute rules."

"The effects of the Myriad Spirit Water on your cultivation are indeed much better than those of the Autumn Dew of the Frosty Cicada!"

"Since that's the case, I won't force you!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and put away Chen Quan's portion of Autumn Dew.

As for the other three demonic beasts' Autumn Dew of the Cicada, they were distributed directly.

"Thank you, Master!"

The demons and beasts thanked them happily.

Chen Xuan nodded.

His divine sense swept rapidly around the surroundings.

It was discovered that the cave occupied by the Eternal Cold Cicada contained absolutely no power of lightning.

Although the cold air here is very strong, it is thinner near the cave entrance.

Chen Xuan could easily have secluded himself here to cultivate.

"Now that I have obtained the Autumn Dew of the Cicada, I might as well stay here and cultivate in seclusion to try and raise my cultivation level to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm as soon as possible!"

"In this way, even if I encounter the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Sect and those bandit immortals in the Myriad Immortals Map Secret Realm, I will not be afraid!"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Next, I plan to go into seclusion here for a while to cultivate!"

"As for the rest of you, Chen Quan will stay behind to protect everyone."

"The rest of you, all of you, shall join me in seclusion for cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, the demons were overjoyed.

After thanking them, they all went about their business.

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.

Release your spiritual senses and search carefully within this natural hall.

After making sure he hadn't missed anything, he led the group of demonic beasts and sped toward the cave entrance.

……

Deep within Leiyuan Valley.

A boy with rosy lips and white teeth was slowly walking forward under the power of the lightning rules.

All around him, the raging power of lightning had completely condensed into a giant lightning sphere.

The children who were in the middle of it all acted as if nothing had happened.

He allowed himself to be enveloped by the terrifying power of these lightning rules.

This boy was the one sent by True Lord Zidian to collect lightning essence for him.

"This place truly lives up to its name, Thunder Origin Valley. The power of lightning within is incredibly concentrated. During my time here, I've collected a vast amount of lightning essence!"

"However, I feel that this place is rather strange. The power of lightning-attribute rules is actually being suppressed by a chilling aura!"

"Could there be other rare and precious materials here?"

The boy pondered for a moment, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, he released his divine sense and looked around for a while.

Before long, he saw a cave emitting a chilling aura in the valley not far from him.

"Heh, this is indeed strange. This place, filled with the power of lightning, is actually emitting such a dense burst of cold air!"

"It seems that there must be extremely rare and precious natural treasures in this cave!"

"Now that I've encountered it, I can't leave empty-handed."

The boy smiled calmly.

With one step, the lightning power surrounding him immediately emitted a piercing muffled sound.

The next instant, the boy transformed into a blur and vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were at the entrance of a cave that was already emitting a chill.

After looking around for a while, just as the boy was about to rush into the cave to find out what was going on, a terrifying array of light suddenly blocked his way.

This immediately surprised the boy.

"Hmm? This protective array seems quite powerful. I just wonder if it can withstand my attack!"

The boy smiled calmly.

As he spoke, he pointed his finger in the air.

A golden spear, as thick as a bowl, crashed down from the sky with a thunderous roar, aiming to pierce the protective array of light above the cave.

Boom!

A sharp explosion sounded.

The protective array's light barrier swayed slightly, completely blocking the boy's attack.

This immediately piqued the boy's interest.

Just as he was preparing to go all out to break through the protective array in front of him, a terrifying attack suddenly burst out from the protective array.

boom!

A golden fireball, several meters in size, hurtled directly towards the boy.

Almost simultaneously, a tail hook as thick as a bowl suddenly shot out from underground, striking the boy's vitals.

"This……"

The boy's expression changed slightly.

After seeing the two terrifying attacks clearly, instead of retaliating, he used the Lightning Release Technique and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When they reappeared, they were already hundreds of feet away in the void.

He gazed at the cave not far away, his expression suddenly becoming incredibly excited.

Two streams of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Chen Li, Chen Xie? It's you two? Where is our master?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Chen Li and Chen Xie, who had just made their move, immediately shot out of the cave.

The two demonic beasts were incredibly excited as they gazed at the adorable boy with rosy lips and white teeth in the void.

"Haha, Chen Peng? What are you doing here?"

Chen Xie laughed excitedly.

Over the years, Chen Peng and other demonic beasts have remained missing.

The only demonic beasts gathered around Chen Xuan were Chen Li, Chen Xie, Chen Chong, and Chen Quan.

Looking at his familiar companions, Chen Peng could no longer hold back.

He immediately concealed his aura and appeared directly beside Chen Li and Chen Xie.

"It's a long story. Since you're all here, the master must be here too, right?" Chen Peng said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the protective array at the cave entrance suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.

Soon, the huge protective light shield disappeared rapidly.

Chen Xuan, along with Chen Quan and Chen Chong, immediately emerged from the cave.

"Chen Peng? It really is you!"

Chen Xuan looked at Chen Peng, a hint of excitement in his expression.

With a thought, he carefully sensed the aura emanating from Chen Peng.

Chen Xuan was shocked to discover that Chen Peng had already reached the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

Moreover, he is only one step away from the Golden Immortal realm.

The master-servant restriction he had placed within him years ago remained intact.

This is enough to show that no matter what Chen Peng has experienced over the years, he has never betrayed himself.

"Master, is it really you?"

Chen Peng was overjoyed.

She rushed straight to Chen Xuan, gazing at him with joy, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Alright, alright, you can see me now, can't you?"

Chen Xuan patted Chen Peng on the back and comforted him softly.

It took only a quarter of an hour for Chen Peng to stop crying.

"Master, where have you been all these years? I've searched everywhere for news of you, but I've never found a clue."

"I never imagined we'd meet again in the Myriad Immortals Map Secret Realm. This is truly fortunate."

Chen Peng said excitedly.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and took the opportunity to briefly explain his situation.

Chen Peng listened, but looked completely bewildered.

"Master, what exactly is this Tianmeng Mountain Range you mentioned?"

"The Tianmeng Mountains are the location of Yaoguang Cave in the Southern Immortal Realm of the True Immortal Realm!"

"Yaoguang Cave? Such a third-rate cultivation force? Master, with your talent, joining one of those powerful cultivation forces would be a piece of cake. Why have you stayed under Yaoguang Cave's command all this time?"

Chen Peng looked puzzled.

In his memory, Chen Xuan was the most outstanding cultivation genius.

Not only is he highly talented, but he is also exceptionally powerful in combat.

Even in the realm of true immortals, he would be considered a monstrous existence.

Making Chen Xuan stay in a small sect like Yaoguang Cave is simply an insult to his talent for cultivation.

Chen Xuan naturally noticed Chen Peng's confusion.

However, he looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Chen Peng, you don't know. Our Longevity Immortal Sect is not a sect under the Yao Guang Cave. It is just an insignificant little sect."

"They don't even qualify to become an affiliated sect of Yaoguang Cave."

Chen Xuan explained seriously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Peng suddenly realized what was going on.

"No wonder I've been trying to find out about you all these years, but I've never gotten any results."
