Chapter 2287 Earth Dragon Scorpion, Sword Tomb

Wow!

Chen Xuan's divine sense completely scattered.

Everything within a radius of a thousand miles is completely visible.

However, the detection range of the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye is only a mere three hundred miles.

This does not mean that the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye's detection range is small and therefore completely useless.

Chen Xuan knew very well that the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye could detect things nearby that were good at hiding.

This is also one of the key factors that has enabled him to detect crises in advance on numerous occasions over the years.

However, at this moment, what Chen Xuan was experiencing within the range of his divine sense was a completely unfamiliar new world.

Here, there are only barren mountains everywhere.

There wasn't a single tree.

Everywhere one looks desolate and hesitant.

From high above, the massive, earthen-yellow hills resemble giant dragons lying dormant on the earth.

Rugged and winding!

The only thing that surprised Chen Xuan was the unusually rich spiritual energy here.

It was even many times more concentrated than the Hidden Dragon Valley where he lived!

"Is this the Valley of Burial Swords? Why is it so desolate?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

But he didn't dare to be careless.

He activated his divine sense and the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye in succession, constantly probing.

After several hours, Chen Xuan finally had a complete understanding of the surrounding situation.

"I must be in a remote corner of the Burial Sword Valley!"

"This place is still quite a distance from the real Burial Valley of Swords!"

"In that case, I need to hurry and get going!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

He took out a map of Burial Sword Valley, determined his location, and immediately shot off into the distance.

Little did they know that shortly after Chen Xuan left, a hill several hundred feet in size on the seemingly barren land suddenly moved.

Soon, the hill transformed into a powerful, scorpion-like monster that darted into the ground and disappeared.

If Chen Xuan were here, he would be astonished to discover that this scorpion-like monster was actually a powerful scorpion-type monster at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm.

The direction in which it disappeared was the same direction Chen Xuan had left.

……

Burial Sword Valley is a place where vast mountains and dense forests meet.

A young man is cautiously traveling through the air.

Just as he was about to enter the dense forest, the young man suddenly frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something.

The next instant, a terrifying, ear-piercing explosion came from the earthen ground below him.

Soon, a huge tail hook, about a foot thick, came straight at the young man's vitals.

The young man who was suddenly ambushed was none other than Chen Xuan.

However, he did not expect that even with his best efforts, he would still be unable to evade the sneak attack.

"This is……"

Chen Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Before the giant tail hook could get close, Chen Xuan had already activated the Five Elements Rule Chains with a thought.

Wow!

A dark chain, as thick as a bowl, appeared out of thin air.

They didn't give the giant tail hook a chance to sneak attack, and directly trapped the giant tail hook in place.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Xuan's mind stirred, and he rapidly activated the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique.

Soon, a thick layer of silver-gray dragon scales appeared on Chen Xuan's skin.

With a swift grab in the void, his palm moved.

The massive tail hook, which was bound by the chains of the Five Elements in the void, was actually grabbed in the palm of a dragon claw tens of feet long and pulled outward with force.

"squeak!"

A piercing scream came from the ground below.

Suddenly, a gigantic, earth-yellow scorpion was pulled out of the soil by the dragon's claws.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the yellowish-brown giant crab.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from it, a power emanating from the late-stage, perfected Celestial Immortal realm, he immediately revealed a look of wild joy.

"Is that an earth dragon scorpion?"

Earth Dragon Scorpion!

This is an incredibly powerful ancient scorpion-like monster.

Not only does it have an incredibly hard outer shell as a shield, but it also has an extremely thick tail hook for ambushing enemies.

What truly terrifies the enemy is not the Earth Dragon Scorpion's attack methods.

Rather, it is its extremely powerful ability to conceal its aura.

As long as the Earth Dragon Scorpion uses its Concealing Aura talent, let alone a late-stage Celestial Immortal, even a late-stage Golden Immortal would have a hard time detecting its whereabouts.

Just now, Chen Xuan had been using his Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye and Divine Sense continuously.

They were almost ambushed by this earth dragon scorpion.

It is precisely because of the Earth Dragon Scorpion's incredibly powerful ability to conceal its energy.

"Hehe, you almost managed to sneak up on me."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

With a firm grip, the earth dragon scorpion, held tightly in the palm of the dragon claw, immediately showed a look of pain.

And it kept tearing at the dragon's claws.

But Chen Xuan remained calm throughout.

It seemed as if they didn't take the Earth Dragon Scorpion's attack seriously at all.

Despite the earth dragon scorpion's relentless struggle, Chen Xuan showed no sign of stopping.

After waiting for several dozen breaths, Chen Xuan confirmed that there were no more earth dragon scorpions hiding in the shadows nearby before he pulled hard with both hands!

Wow!

The Earth Dragon Scorpion, a late-stage Celestial Immortal at the Great Perfection realm, was actually torn in two by the force of its two dragon claws.

Chen Xuan quickly cast a series of spells to collect the essence blood and demon core of the Earth Dragon Scorpion.

"The essence blood and demon core of the Earth Dragon Scorpion greatly helped Chen Xie improve his cultivation!"

"I never expected that I would encounter an ancient demonic beast like the Earth Dragon Scorpion so soon after arriving in the Burial Sword Valley!"

"Since that's the case, I'll give these things to Chen Xie right away. Tell him to hurry up and refine them so he can advance to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm as soon as possible!"

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

Currently, among Chen Xuan's demonic beasts, Chen Xie's cultivation level is improving the slowest.

It wasn't that Chen Xie didn't work hard in his cultivation, but rather that he had far too few cultivation resources.

This time, having finally encountered an Earth Dragon Scorpion, Chen Xuan planned to use it to boost the scorpion's cultivation.

hum!

With a thought, Chen Xuan released Chen Xie.

"I've met the master!"

Chen Xie looked at Chen Xuan with a happy expression.

His gaze swept over the corpse of the earth dragon scorpion, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"It seems you've already guessed why I sought you out. That's right, I just killed this Earth Dragon Scorpion. Although its cultivation level was only at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, it will greatly help improve your cultivation!"

"Furthermore, the Earth Dragon Scorpion is extremely skilled in concealing its aura. If you can refine the Earth Dragon Scorpion's essence blood and acquire its aura-concealing talent, it will be even more effective in future battles!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

As they spoke, Chen Xuan gave Chen Xie the essence blood and demon core he had just collected.

Chen Xie gazed at the demon core and essence blood with delight, grinning from ear to ear.

"Thank you, Master! With these things, I will soon be able to successfully advance to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm!"

Chen Xie was full of confidence at this moment.

After all, he is not far from the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

With these essence blood and demon cores, his path to advancing to the late stage of Celestial Immortal will become much easier.

"Haha, if that's the case, then you should continue your secluded cultivation!"

Chen Xuan laughed and put Chen Xie away, then released Chen Peng and traveled together with him.

What frustrated Chen Xuan was that Chen Peng was a powerful early-stage Golden Immortal.

At this moment, he actually reached the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

His cultivation level was actually a whole major realm lower than before.

"Could it be that only Heavenly Immortal level experts are allowed in Burial Sword Valley? Anyone whose cultivation level is higher than Heavenly Immortal level will be suppressed to the late-stage Great Perfection of Heavenly Immortal level?"

Chen Xuan looked at Chen Peng, and after thinking about it seriously for a while, he suddenly felt that the probability of this happening was extremely high.

"Fine, since that's the case, it's fair to everyone. I'll just keep going!"

Chen Xuan sighed softly and, together with Chen Peng, shot off into the dense forest in the distance.

……

Burial Sword Valley, on a vast plain.

Two powerful figures from Yaoguang Cave were walking slowly forward.

If Chen Xuan were here, he would recognize them at a glance as the Purple-Clad Fairy and Young Master Lingxu, who had once visited the Longevity Immortal Sect!

At this moment, besides the two of them, there were several elderly people at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm with them.

The elderly men followed closely behind the two men, their faces expressionless.

If Chen Xuan were here, he would immediately recognize that these old men were not at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, but were genuine Golden Immortal realm experts.

"Senior Sister Ziyi, do you think we'll encounter that ant from the Longevity Immortal Sect when we come to the Burial Sword Valley?"

As Young Master Lingxu finished speaking, his brows furrowed slightly.

Last time, they made a fool of themselves in the Longevity Immortal Sect.

If Chen Xuan dares to come to Burial Sword Valley, he will naturally kill Chen Xuan.

"Heh, he'll most likely be back. After all, he's the number one person below the Golden Immortal level in the Longevity Immortal Sect!"

"However, even if that Chen fellow has some skill, he's no match for you or me. Besides, we both have Golden Immortal level protectors by our side!"

"In a place like Burial Sword Valley, even if we kill him, no one will know!"

The fairy in purple smiled slightly.

A cold, icy glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

It seems she doesn't have any good feelings towards Chen Xuan either.

“Senior Sister is absolutely right. However, our purpose in coming to Burial Sword Valley this time is not to kill that ant. Everything should be focused on our breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm!” said Young Master Lingxu.

"Yes, the most magical place in the Burial Valley of Swords is the Sword Tomb. Unfortunately, it will be some time before the Sword Tomb opens. We can only look for opportunities on the outskirts."

"Haha, Senior Sister is right. In that case, let's split up and look for opportunities. See you at the Sword Tomb!"

"See you at the Sword Tomb!"

Young Master Lingxu laughed loudly and disappeared swiftly with his two protectors.

Only the fairy in purple stood quietly in place.

Upon seeing this, the two protectors who had followed the purple-clad fairy frowned slightly.

"Miss, are you sure you don't want to go with Young Master Lingxu?" asked an elderly man with white hair.

"Uncle Hai, although I and Young Master Lingxu are fellow disciples, we are not so close that I would be his henchman, are we?"

"This... what does Miss mean?"

"Heh, that fool, Young Master Lingxu, truly can't see the situation clearly. Now, even the Fifth Ancestor has been forced into seclusion and no longer shows his face to handle sect affairs. Yet he still wants to take action against the people of the Longevity Immortal Sect. What's the difference between that and courting death? I won't get involved in this mess with him!"

“What you say is true, Miss. In that case, what are your plans?”

"Naturally, we should go to Heavenly Sword Valley first to comprehend the profound mysteries of swordsmanship there."

"Yes, Miss is absolutely right. Heavenly Sword Valley not only contains profound sword techniques, but also extremely rare Star Pearls. I will also try to collect some when the time comes. This will be of great help to my advancement to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal!"

Uncle Hai nodded.

Soon, after determining the direction, he left with the fairy in purple.

Little did they know that just as Chen Xuan and the people from Yaoguang Cave entered the Burial Sword Valley, more and more powerful figures entered the Burial Sword Valley.

Among them was Xiao Qin, an acquaintance of Chen Xuan!

At this moment, Xiao Qin is not alone.

Beside her was none other than her protector, Elder Bai.

"Miss, why are you in such a hurry? There's still a long time before the Sword Tomb opens! Why don't we search the area around the Sword Tomb first? Perhaps we'll find another opportunity!"

As Old Bai chased after Xiao Qin, he laughed.

"Elder Bai, I have arranged to meet an old friend in the Valley of Burial Swords. Do you wish for me to break my promise?" Xiao Qin smiled sweetly.

Chen Xuan's face involuntarily surfaced in her mind at this moment.

"Well... since Miss has said so, I naturally cannot let her break her promise. I just don't know, which emperor's son is this old friend you mentioned?"

"Hehe, this old friend of mine is quite mysterious. I can't even figure out his background. You'll know once you meet him!"

"Oh? In that case, I am quite curious. Why don't we speed up our journey so I can see for myself who this old friend is that has caused such concern in the young lady!"
