Chapter 2289 Iron Ruler Beam, Sword Slave

Among the talismans that Zhai Ling handed to Chen Xuan, one was particularly conspicuous.

It was a Great Annihilation Spirit-Attracting Talisman.

The power of this Great Annihilation Spirit-Attracting Talisman is naturally extraordinary.

However, it is also extremely difficult to make.

Generally, it is used as a last resort to save one's life.

Back then, Chen Jiao and Hu'er activated a Great Annihilation Spirit-Summoning Talisman to save Chen Xuan.

Let both demonic beasts ascend to the True Immortal Realm at the same time.

Over this long period of time, Chen Xuan has been secretly investigating the whereabouts of the Great Annihilation Spirit-Guiding Talisman.

They attempted to use this as a breakthrough to find the whereabouts of Chen Jiao and Hu'er.

Unfortunately, there have been no leads.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan saw the Great Annihilation Spirit-Summoning Talisman in Zhai Ling's hand.

In an instant, the faces of Chen Jiao and Hu'er also appeared in his mind.

However, Zhai Ling looked surprised when she saw Chen Xuan's blank expression.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what's going on?"

"Hehe, fairy, please don't misunderstand. I also have a friend who is skilled at crafting talismans. Unfortunately, so much time has passed, and I haven't heard from him since. Back then, he did give me a special talisman. Seeing the talisman in your hand now, fairy, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental!"

Chen Xuan laughed and laughed.

As for the talisman that Zhai Ling handed to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan had no intention of putting it away.

With a casual wave of her hand, all the talismans fell back into Zhai Ling's hands.

"Fairy, did you really make these talismans yourself?"

Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"Hehe, to be honest, most of these talismans were crafted by me. However, this Great Annihilation Spirit-Guiding Talisman was not crafted by me. It was crafted by a senior uncle from the Heavenly Eye Cave. He learned that I was coming to the Burial Sword Valley and specially gave me this Great Annihilation Spirit-Guiding Talisman to save my life!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan was not interested in the talisman in his hand.

Zhai Ling's goodwill towards Chen Xuan immediately increased.

He naturally answered all of Chen Xuan's questions without reservation.

“No wonder I saw you activate the celestial talisman so quickly just now. However, I am also interested in refining celestial talismans. I wonder if I could visit you in Tianmu Cave in the future?” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"No problem. Fellow Daoist Chen, if you have time, you can come to our Tianmu Cave to find me at any time. Please keep this identity token safe. If you come to Tianmu Cave in the future, just take this out and find me!"

After explaining for a moment, Zhai Ling gave Chen Xuan an identity token.

Besides the Tianmu Cave logo, the back of the identity tag only has a large "翟" character.

As for the material of this identity plaque, it is also extraordinary.

Neither metal nor wood.

It feels great in the hand.

It feels like a beautiful jade when held in your hand.

"Thank you, Fairy. This Burial Sword Valley is fraught with danger; please be careful in the future! I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Farewell!"

After thanking him, Chen Xuan immediately transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Quan had completely refined the corpse of the Spirit Stream Demon.

With a thought, Chen Xuan put away Chen Quan and disappeared quickly with Chen Peng.

“This Fellow Daoist Chen is truly strange. He saved me, yet not only did he not kill me, he even refused to accept the gift of collapse.”

"Could it be that this Fellow Daoist Chen is really only interested in the immortal talismans refined by our Tianmu Cave?"

"If that's the case, once I return to Tianmu Cave, I will definitely have a good talk with the Ancestor about this matter!"

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chen's intervention this time, I would probably have perished!"

"This time, I owe him a favor!"

After muttering something to herself, Zhai Ling quickly left with a wary expression.

However, long after Zhai Ling left, a barely perceptible insect suddenly rushed out from where Zhai Ling had just stood.

After flapping its wings once, it disappeared from the spot.

When the spirit insect reappeared, it was already beside Chen Xuan.

It was Chen Xuan's Gold-Eating Insect.

However, this gold-devouring insect's cultivation level had reached an astonishing early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm!

Wow!

Chen Xuan's divine sense spread out and quickly entered the body of the Gold-Eating Insect.

Soon, Chen Xuan saw everything Zhai Ling did after he left.

After he finished reading it carefully, he smiled slightly.

"This Fairy Zhai is truly kind-hearted. If so, I hope she won't disappoint me."

"However, it is a great joy that I was able to meet this Fairy Zhai this time and find out about the Great Annihilation Spirit-Subduing Talisman through this matter!"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

But he had a satisfied smile on his face.

Soon, after putting away the Gold-Eating Insects, he directly opened up a cave dwelling in a nearby valley.

After releasing a large army of Irontail Scorpions to guard the cave, he set up the Nebula Array before entering the Immortal Beast Tower.

Wow!

As soon as Chen Xuan appeared, the vast immortal energy around him swept towards him at high speed.

Chen Xuan ignored these matters.

Instead, he vanished from his spot in a flash.

When it reappeared, it was already in the earth-attribute space where Chen Xie was in seclusion.

At this moment, Chen Xie is in seclusion cultivating in a scorching desert.

He continuously released terrifying pressure from the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

To Chen Xuan's surprise, although he saw Chen Xie, he was unable to detect Chen Xie's presence when he tried to scan him with his divine sense.

"This... Could it be that Chen Xie also acquired the secret technique of concealing his aura after refining the essence blood of the Earth Dragon Scorpion?"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

He secretly activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye to carefully scan Chen Xie's situation.

He discovered that Chen Xie's figure had turned into a faint phantom under the scrutiny of his Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye.

Apart from that, nothing else changed.

This made him burst into laughter.

At that moment, Chen Xie, who was in seclusion for cultivation, also noticed Chen Xuan's arrival.

He quickly put away his cultivation technique, stood up respectfully, and said, "Master, you've come? Not long ago, I finally succeeded in advancing to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm."

"Moreover, the demon core of this earth dragon scorpion is extremely effective. Although I have successfully advanced to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, there is still a great deal of energy stored in the demon core that I have not yet been able to refine."

"If I were to completely refine the energy within the Earth Dragon Beast's demon core, my cultivation might reach the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm."

During this period, Chen Xie's cultivation level remained at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

This time, having finally encountered such an opportunity, his cultivation level improved extremely quickly.

This kind of gradual accumulation will not only not affect Chen Xie's cultivation, but will also shorten his cultivation time.

However, this is largely due to the fact that Chen Xie is a demon beast.

Otherwise, such opportunistic cultivation will definitely lead to an unstable foundation.

It will take more time to stabilize one's realm.

"Haha, Chen Xie, your cultivation has improved so much, I'm already very satisfied!"

"As for the remaining Earth Dragon Scorpion Demon Core, you can keep it for yourself to refine later!"

"Right now, you should focus on consolidating your cultivation in seclusion. Remember, don't try to do too much at once!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xie immediately abandoned his plan to completely refine the Earth Dragon Scorpion Demon Core.

"Yes, Master! If that's the case, I will stop cultivating and focus on stabilizing my realm!" Chen Xie said.

"Okay, you continue your seclusion. I'll go take a look elsewhere!"

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then immediately turned and left.

Chen Xie's improvement in cultivation this time did not bring any corresponding improvement to Chen Xuan's cultivation.

It wasn't that Chen Xie's advancement to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm had a very weak effect on Chen Xuan's recovery.

Rather, Chen Xuan's current cultivation level has encountered a bottleneck.

It wasn't that Chen Xie's cultivation level had a poor feedback effect, which led to Chen Xuan's cultivation level improvement.

After leaving Chen Xie's secluded cultivation place, Chen Xuan went directly to the water-attribute mimicry space where Chen Quan was cultivating.

Chen Xuan was shocked to discover that Chen Quan had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, his aura gradually strengthened while he was asleep.

This brought Chen Quan's cultivation level closer and closer to the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

"Hehe, Chen Quan's refining of the Spirit Stream Demon has had a remarkable effect. It hasn't been long, and he's already fallen into a deep sleep!"

"It seems that when he wakes up, his cultivation will have reached at least the late-stage Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm!"

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

Soon after, he went to check on Chen Chong's condition.

Seeing that Chen Chong had worked very hard in his cultivation, but his cultivation level had not improved much.

On the contrary, there were quite a few Gold-Devouring Insects in the army of Gold-Devouring Insects at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

As a result, the combat power of the entire Gold-Eating Insect swarm also skyrocketed at this moment.

"Hehe, Chen Chong, you need to speed up your cultivation too. When I went to check on Chen Quan just now, I found that he had already started his secluded cultivation. Once he comes out, his cultivation will definitely reach the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong looked surprised.

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation. I will strive to advance to the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm as soon as possible!" Chen Chong said with a smile.

"Alright, you should continue your secluded cultivation!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

Only then did he return to the side of the Immortal Beast Tower.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan rested briefly, allowing his energy and spirit to return to their peak state before flipping his hand and taking out the Void Heaven Treasure Map.

After Chen Xuan marked his location on the Void Heaven Treasure Map, a faint golden light emerged from it.

Before long, all the rare and precious materials surrounding Chen Xuan appeared on the map.

"This... truly lives up to its name as the Void Heaven Treasure Map. As long as the current location is marked, all rare and precious materials within a radius of hundreds of miles will be sensed by the Void Heaven Treasure Map!"

"I just don't know where the Star Pearl that Ya Ya needs is!"

Chen Xuan carefully examined the Void Heaven Treasure Map for a long time, but still couldn't find the Star Pearl.

This immediately made him feel somewhat depressed.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xuan immediately frowned.

"The Star Pearl isn't on the Void Heaven Treasure Map I have. That means I'm quite far from its location. In that case, I might as well search the vicinity and see if there are any rare and precious treasures nearby!"

After muttering something to himself, Chen Xuan finally turned his gaze to the Void Heaven Treasure Map.

In just a moment, a line of small characters caught Chen Xuan's attention.

"Iron Ruler Beam, Sword Slave? What are these things? Could they also be rare and precious treasures?"

"However, what's shown on this Void Heaven Treasure Map is definitely extraordinary. Although I don't know what the Sword Slave means, going to take a look might bring another opportunity!"
