Chapter 1570 Gathering Qi and Embracing Immortal Abode

In the forward airspace, the fighters stationed there watched a streak of light fly out of the rift, and couldn't help but marvel, their eyes filled with a sense of reverence.

"Is that Consultant Chen?" a fighter said. "I've never seen a consultant go to the other side every few days."

Another person exclaimed, "Yeah, I checked, and this person spends more time in the other world than in this one. Is he making it his home?"

They've been stationed here for a long time, and I've never seen any other advisors go to the other side of the world as frequently as Chen Chuan.

That's partly due to ability, and partly due to their sense of responsibility.

This wasn't just wild speculation. Putting aside everything else, during the time this consultant Chen spent in the other world, they almost never encountered any decent high-level demons again; they were undoubtedly wiped out by this consultant.

It's astonishing that so many extraterrestrial demons were wiped out so cleanly.

Other fighters of lower skill levels also felt admiration and respect after hearing the conversation between the two.

Chen Chuan had already broken free from the protection of the World Ring and was now venturing deeper into the opposite world.

Unbeknownst to him, his unique cultivation method required him to periodically venture out to hunt demons and monsters to digest and absorb energy, rather than simply maintaining stillness, which led to some misunderstandings among others.

In fact, during this period of time, he has found a new path of cultivation and has stopped deliberately targeting demons.

However, the rampant hunting and slaughter in the recent period of time has turned this area into a nearly empty zone, which has led to the current situation, and it is likely to continue for quite some time.

This time, after arriving at the farthest point he had ever been, he deliberately cleared away the demons in the vicinity. Only after confirming that there were no obstacles did he send Ling Su to patrol outside, and after standing still for a moment, he released the field.

After such a long battle with demons, he has come to realize that in the other world, the size and distance of the field are not very meaningful. As long as the fields are connected, they can get close to each other or make contact.

However, fields have different levels. Fields with higher levels and more changes usually have more concealment and stability. Even if someone else's field gets close, you can find a way to break away or simply repel it.

As he continued his spiritual practice and his personal energy field improved, he became increasingly aware of the benefits.

At this moment, he took out the immortal seeds he had brought with him, intending to start by refining the lower-quality ones. With a wave of his hand, he scattered them one by one into the field, and then used the field to grind and fuse them one by one.

As wisps of impurities drifted out, his aura began to change little by little.

After refining all the low-quality immortal seeds, the next key step is to refine the three high-quality immortal seeds.

Previously, he would probably have had to refine his domains one by one, but now he felt he could swallow them all in one go.

With a thought, three immortal seeds shimmering with golden light fell into the field.

This time the refining process took a little longer, taking him two days, but the results were gratifying, with a significant improvement in the field's power.

After assessing the situation, it was just as he had predicted: the difference between him and the peak of the field enhancement was only a few immortal seeds.

Then, with a thought, he summoned his clone's power, and in an instant, the clone's power arrived before him.

As his clone returned, it brought with it the collected immortal seeds. He glanced at them; there were four in total. He nodded unconsciously; these were enough.

With a thought, the power clone transformed into a ball of purple energy and returned to the body, while the immortal seeds were also absorbed into the field and then stood still.

At a certain moment, the field emanating from his body suddenly trembled slightly, emitting an extreme light that continuously overflowed outwards.

Inside the field, billowing clouds surged and flashed like lightning, while clusters of purple mist emerged, echoing the mutated purple energy within his body.

A while later, he opened his eyes and saw wispy clouds around him, making him appear almost invisible.

At this point, his domain had finally undergone a transformation, becoming a secluded place completely isolated from the outside world. This was the formation of his own immortal abode, which was the place that Master She had described as perfectly suited to himself.

To advance further, one must go to the upper levels, and he has already reached the pinnacle.

Of course, this does not mean that his field limit has ended. It simply means that the conditions for breaking through to the next realm have been met, and his field will continue to improve as he becomes stronger.

Furthermore, he could sense that the changes in the field greatly helped his cultivation level. He estimated that if he practiced normally, he could push his cultivation level to the highest level in about ten days at most.

This made him feel somewhat invigorated.

However, the first thing to do is to once again receive information from above.

After making a slight adjustment, he looked up and this time did not retreat into the world ring. Instead, he chose to merge with the world here and overlap with his second self.

As he did this, a massive amount of information seemed to flood his mind. Things that were originally blurry quickly became clear, and without the protection of the World Ring, he was able to perceive the mysteries from above to the fullest extent.

Doing this is actually very dangerous. If the higher-ups notice him or become interested in him, they could really take action against him directly.

However, he had observed that all the higher-ups who were paying attention to this area were currently focused on the fusion of the two realms and wouldn't care about anything else. As long as he didn't pry into things recklessly or expose himself, he would be fine, just like he was now.

His greatest source of confidence is the transformed environment he now possesses, which allows him to remain discreet without being detected by outsiders when he needs to withdraw.

If all else fails, he can always call upon Master Lu and Meteora for help; in short, he must find a way to see more.

His efforts paid off, as he could sense that at the edge where the two worlds merged, the things that were being nurtured were more concentrated in certain places.

He secretly memorized these locations, even though he didn't know exactly where they corresponded, but he could try to deduce them when he got back.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that the connection between the two worlds seemed to have changed.

The wisps of cloud-like tendrils that were originally connected between the two sides would have been severed afterward. However, this time, one of the tendrils stabilized just as it was about to break off, and then gradually grew thicker.

Upon seeing this, he was slightly startled.

This seemed to strengthen the connection between the two, and then more aerosol-like tentacles came over, attempting to form a connection with it as well.

However, none of these attempts succeeded. The moment the two sides made contact, they were destroyed by a force, and even the mist that had already been successfully connected showed no signs of expanding further.

He believed that this was an attempt by higher forces to obstruct it, and upon closer inspection, he sensed a subtle but powerful surge of energy within it.

This further confirms his guess that two forces are colliding and fighting each other, and it is unknown whether they can be separated. If they fail, the trend of merging the two worlds will probably accelerate further.

This time he persisted for much longer than before, but at this point, he could no longer delve deeper into anything.

He knew this was probably his limit; even if he merged with his second self, he wouldn't be able to access any more information.

But seeing was enough. With a thought, he withdrew from his current state and stepped out.

He thought about it and realized that the direct connection between the two worlds would definitely have some impact on the material world, so he decided to go back and check the situation first.

He turned around and this time, instead of relying on the Chaos Realm, he chose to cross the World Vein and thus cross the rift back to his own world.

As soon as he emerged from the underground fissure, he sensed something, looked up, and his gaze sharpened.

At this moment, even just by looking with his eyes, he could see that the vortex in the sky had become exceptionally obvious, and his mutated tissues and spirit had become extremely active. Energy from outside the sky was actively entering his body without him having to absorb it.

But this is not actually a good thing, as it shows that the spiritual world has already begun to significantly encroach on the material world.

If this invasion had come slowly, that would have been fine; change is gradual and imperceptible. But if his judgment was correct, this must have been caused by what he had seen not long ago. This sudden change would definitely trigger a certain degree of intense change.

He didn't know where the problem would first lie, but there must be a large crack, but not a very stable place that would be attracted first.

At this moment, a message from Xiao Yuanguang came through the portal: "Advisor Chen, did you feel it?"

Chen Chuan didn't say what he saw; he simply replied, "I felt it."

Xiao Yuanguang replied, "We need to be prepared."

Chen Chuan hummed in agreement. Suddenly sensing something, he immediately stepped out of the field and stood on the corridor outside Qinghu Lake. The next moment, the earth trembled slightly.

He immediately asked, "Kaiyang, where is the epicenter? What is the affected area?"

A few seconds later, Kaiyang's voice came out: "Advisor Chen, the epicenter is not within the territory of Da Shun, but is located in the far reaches of the outer ocean, close to the Geserfitu Continent of the Linax Federation. The specific epicenter is yet to be confirmed."

According to the feedback from the field resonance information, earthquakes of magnitude 2 to 3 were felt in Haidong Road, Haixi Road, Jibei Road, Huainan Road, and Jiangnan Road within Dashun County.

At the same time, a 3D map appeared before his eyes, showing that the epicenter was roughly outside Gaiserfitu, and that a long, deep crack appeared on the seabed.
