Chapter 22: The Jungle Elf Realm

  Looking at the young man named Bai Jian riding away on horseback, Chen Luo's eyebrows furrowed deeply. He knew that he was often out when he was in Xiaoluo Tian, and only appeared during assessments, so he rarely interacted with his fellow disciples. His relationships weren't good, but they couldn't be this bad, right? How come the people from Xiaoluo Tian now looked at him with disdain, each and every one of them?

  "Who is this guy?" Chen Luo thought for a moment and really couldn't remember the name Bai Jian.

  "Don't you know?" Niu Ying obviously couldn't understand why Chen Luo didn't even recognize Bai Jian, a disciple with quite a reputation. After thinking carefully, he said: "You not knowing him is nothing to be surprised about, he transferred from another academy to Xiaoluo Tian two years ago, at that time you..."

  Chen Luo suddenly realized, earlier he was still puzzled, Xiao Luotian's high-level apprentice although not familiar with, but absolutely all have an impression, it turned out that this guy had only transferred to Xiao Luotian two years ago, at that time himself seemed to be outside breaking through that strange residual array.

  "Chen Luo, I think it's better for you to have less contact with this person in the future. Don't look at his young age, he is ruthless and cruel."

  "Oh? What did you say?"

  "He used to be an apprentice at the Flying Heaven Academy and was a well-known genius. At the age of 14, he had already opened up all seven spiritual meridians, but deliberately suppressed them from opening up his spiritual sea, just to make all seven spiritual meridians mutate. It seems that he should have wanted to open up a mutated spiritual sea."

  Linghai is a symbol of entering the second realm. In later cultivation paths, Linghai also refers to the foundation of a wizard.

  Actually, after clearing the seven spiritual meridians, many people will stay for a period of time to consolidate their cultivation and make preparations before opening up the Spiritual Ocean. Most people's opened Spiritual Oceans are ordinary, but there is also a small portion of people who will open up special Spiritual Oceans.

  Variation Spirit Ocean is one of them.

  Rumor has it that the more variations of the Seven Spirit Meridians, the higher the chance of opening up a Variant Spirit Sea. Once a Variant Spirit Sea is opened, the benefits gained afterwards are unimaginable to others. Of course, this isn't just a rumor, as many talented disciples within the world have already opened up their own Variant Spirit Seas. Not to mention those far away, but even Mu Huang, known as the number one of Little Luo Tian, had opened up his own Variant Spirit Sea with six variations of the Spirit Meridians.

  "This White Sword is indeed extraordinary, now that he has opened all seven meridians, five of his spiritual meridians have already undergone variation. It's said that he plans to break Mu Huang's record of six variations and make all seven spiritual meridians undergo variation, thereby opening up a varied spiritual sea."

  "There are really many capable people these days."

  Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh in regret. Back then, he was infatuated with formations and had no interest in cultivating, so when his Spiritual Channels opened, they directly opened up to the Spiritual Ocean.

  Niu Feng nodded in deep agreement, and continued: "However, Bai Jian didn't become famous because of this matter, but rather because of his ruthless and cunning nature. It's said that every time he fought against students during the assessment at Fei Tian Academy, they were either severely injured or crippled. A few of them almost lost their lives due to severe injuries, which was why Fei Tian Academy eventually expelled him. And yet, Xiao Luo Tian took him in."

  "Can't see that this guy is quite ruthless!" Chen Luo was also really hot, so he simply unbuttoned all his buttons, bared his chest and fanned himself.

  "Yes, this guy came to Xiaoluo Tian and was very arrogant, injuring several junior apprentices. However, after being defeated by Mu Hua, he became much more honest. Later, he vowed to break Mu Hua's six-change record and then have a final showdown with Mu Hua."

  In fact, Niu Wen still has one more thing to say. In the past, Xiaoluo Tian had four major representatives: Mu Huang, Chen Luo, Ding Zixuan, and Ye Qing. However, now Bai Jian has replaced Chen Luo's position.

  "Miss him? Hehe......" Chen Luo smiled inexplicably and said, "Back then I almost threw this guy into the Evil Forest..."

  "What still goes into the evil forest?" Niu Zhen couldn't understand what Chen Luo meant by this sentence.

  "Nothing." Chen Luo smiled and shook his head, looking towards Xiao Luotian's team with a puzzled expression: "Mu Huang doesn't seem to be here."

  "A talent like him should be in the Golden Water Domain three months from now."

  Chen Luo nodded, intending to say something, but suddenly discovered the figure of Wang Ke in Xiao Luo Tian's team, his expression slightly dim. During Xiao Luo Tian's cultivation, Wang Ke had always been kind and taught him with all his heart, even when he was imprisoned for his dark crimes, Xiao Luo Tian wanted to expel him, but Wang Ke still came forward to vouch for him. In Xiao Luo Tian's opinion, the person he felt most sorry for was Wang Ke.

  I don't know how Wang Ke teacher views me... probably very disappointed, right?

  Chen Luo had originally wanted to go and say a few words to Wang Ke, but suddenly thought that he was now considered an enemy by Xiao Luotian, and feared it would have a bad influence on the teacher. It's better to wait for another chance to privately visit him.

  Time passed bit by bit, and after queuing for several hours, Chen Luo and the others were finally transmitted into the small spiritual realm of Conglin.

  Perhaps to prevent the invasion of magical beasts, a inner tower is built near each corresponding transmission array. Normally, some spiritual arrays will work here, in addition, there is a larger square nearby, where many small vendors sell daily necessities, of course, the price is much more expensive than outside.

  The oxen drove the carriage and finally squeezed out of the inner square, Chen Luo sat beside it, feeling the environment of the small forest, which seemed to be no different from the Xuan Huang world, still having sky, earth, sun and moon, but the climate was much more comfortable than outside, maybe this is the base of the magic beast, with a slightly cold feeling.

  As soon as Chen Luo arrived at the small forest spirit realm, he thought of the time he spent with his master here more than ten years ago. He still clearly remembered that during that time, he had picked up a wounded wolf cub in this place and it had accompanied him while he was learning array techniques.

  "I don't know if Xiao Huan is still here or not."

  Xiao Huan was the name Chen Luo gave to that wolf cub, because when it walked, it always shook its head and swayed its body. To be honest, he still missed Xiao Huan a lot and wanted to go take a look at that wooden house. However, he knew that place was deep in the small forest, surrounded by too many powerful magical beasts. If Chen Luo's spiritual power wasn't so weak, he would have been able to enter, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible now. His spiritual power was too weak, and he couldn't even set up a few arrays. Relying on his actual strength? With his current cultivation level, he might not even be enough to fill the gaps between those magical beasts' teeth.

  After the various teams of Honor Guards arrived, they advanced along the previously planned route and rushed into a small thicket. Chen Luo looked around and asked, "Old Niu, where are we going?" Although he had lived here for several years, it was limited to the depths of the thicket, and this peripheral area was unfamiliar to him.

  "If we follow some glorious teams, safety is guaranteed, but we won't get a chance to encounter good things. If we act on our own and encounter good things, we can enjoy them alone, of course, the danger level will be higher. Chen Luo, you decide."

  "Let's just take action ourselves, as long as we pay a little more attention."

  "Haha, I was thinking the same thing." Niuwen opened his bag and pulled out a map, pointing to a route on it: "I've been paying attention to this route for a long time, it's relatively safe. There's a lake there, occasionally some Huoyun beasts go there to bathe and rest. We can ambush them there, with our cultivation, as long as we coordinate properly, dealing with one Huoyun beast shouldn't be a problem."

  The Huoyun Beast is a relatively ferocious demon beast among the first-class demon beasts. Due to its large body, thick skin and flesh, and ability to spit fire, its strength is equivalent to that of an entry-level wizard. This is only for ordinary Huoyun Beasts; if you encounter an evolved Huoyun Beast, its strength will be even more formidable. If you encounter a variant or beast king, even mid-level wizards can only wait for death.

  It's not that Niu Zhen chose Huoyun Beast because it was strong, there were also weaker magic beasts here, but they must have been occupied by others and didn't get a turn. Other magic beasts were either too powerful or traveled in groups, so choosing Huoyun Beast was also a well-thought-out decision. Niu Zhen talked endlessly about hunting magic beasts and knew quite a bit, including the habits, characteristics, and weaknesses of various magic beasts.

  If Chen Luo hadn't known that this guy was a disciple of Xiao Jinguo, he would have suspected that he was a glorious adventurer with rich experience. The journey was quite far, and the two had nothing to do, so they chatted casually, only to find out that Niuwen had been hunting in Xiaoling Realm with his father since childhood.

  "Old Cow, your father was a very powerful and glorious person, wasn't he?"

  "What about my dad?" Niufei shook his head and said, "My dad used to be a butcher in the village. Later, the Glory Gang saw that he was quite skilled, so they recruited him into the gang as a slaughter attendant."

  Butcher followers belong to the Glory Corps, usually after those Glorious ones kill the magical beasts, it's up to the butcher followers to go and butcher them, taking down all the valuable things on the magical beast.

  Inside the small forest, there are not only magical beasts, but also many wild animals, such as wild dogs, wolves, and boars. Although they are not that powerful, if you encounter a group of them, you'd better walk around. Since the small forest doesn't have any spacious streets and it's too noisy, it's not suitable for horse-drawn carriages to pass through. The two of us walked all the way here, and on the way, we encountered several wild beasts and simply killed them directly.

  As the sky gradually darkened towards evening, Chen Luo was already a bit disoriented. The small forest was full of trees everywhere, and he didn't know where they were. He looked around and it seemed that only the two of them were nearby.

  "Let's take a break here for a moment, we've walked so far, let's eat some dry rations first."

  The cow opened the package and took out a piece of dry rations wrapped in cloth, handing one to Chen Luo. As they were eating, they suddenly felt something was off. A strong gust of wind came from the north, causing the wild grass to rustle loudly. Immediately after, the sound of rapid footsteps followed. Just as the two were wondering what was happening, a creature about one meter tall emerged from the bushes - a wild boar with sharp teeth and a pointed snout. Before long, another one appeared, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of wild boars had emerged.

  "Up the tree!"

  Chen Luo and Niu Ying spoke in unison, with Niu Ying's head slightly higher. He climbed up the tree trunk and flipped onto a branch, while Chen Luo practiced his Shadow Shift technique, his movements quite agile. With a single leap, he also sprang onto the tree.

  Twenty or thirty wild boars seemed to have no intention of attacking them, and ran directly past. Chen Luo was about to speak when he suddenly felt a strong heat wave hit him in the face. The next moment, a ball of flames came rushing in like a tsunami.
