Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 664 Nine Suns in September, a Sky Full of Stars! (Two Chapters Combined)

"Master, although the spiritual energy outside this valley is more abundant, the dangers are also greater. If we are not careful, we will be doomed," Tang Kecha warned cautiously.

He understood Song Changming's feelings all too well.

Back then, when he first arrived, he was even more excited than Song Changming when he first stepped outside the valley.

They had even made up their minds not to return to hide at the bottom of the Azure Valley.

But in the end, he slunk back.

The dangers in the outside world are directly proportional to the concentration of spiritual energy; the more abundant the spiritual energy, the higher the risk of danger.

After all, all powerful beings need to consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to exist, so good places are naturally something to fight over.

At that time, it was already a miracle that he was able to escape alive.

The others who were with him all died mysteriously, without even knowing how they died.

Since then, Tang Kecha rarely dared to go out. Instead, he started to plot against other newcomers of the human race, harming his own kind and scheming to obtain the various resources he needed.

Having experienced it firsthand, he worried that Song Changming might also be misled by these places rich in spiritual energy, leading them to their doom.

"So what suggestions do you have?" Song Changming glanced at him and asked.

"Why don't we wait until the floodwaters in the valley recede before going back? I doubt those dragons will keep causing trouble forever."

Tang Kecha still wanted to play it safe and didn't want to leave Biyou Valley, which could be considered a refuge.

However, this time, the usually taciturn Biyougen held a different opinion and took the initiative to speak up, which was quite rare.

"After this incident, Biyou Valley is not so safe anymore. This time a dragon came, and next time there may be even stronger beasts. In the end, we still have to become stronger to protect ourselves."

"Don't forget, we came here to become immortals. Hiding in the Azure Valley is truly meaningless."

Clearly, she had had enough of hiding in the Green Valley and had no intention of going back this time.

Thinking about it another way, although she had become Song Changming's servant, she had also gained Song Changming's powerful combat strength. Perhaps she could use this opportunity to escape Biyou Valley and explore the outside world.

"I... I think it's better to go back," Fran secretly glanced at Song Changming and only dared to mutter this in a low voice.

"Alright, I'm not going back to Biyou Valley. Biyougen is right. We all came to the Primordial Continent for the same purpose: to become immortals. What's the point of staying in Biyou Valley?"

Song Changming waved his hand and made the decision directly.

Seeing this, Tang Ke said no more. After all, Song Changming was the master, and they could only obey. It was only because Song Changming was magnanimous that they had the right to speak.

As for the matter of becoming an immortal, Tang Kecha smiled bitterly to himself.

Who wouldn't want to become an immortal? The key is to have the destiny to become an immortal.

Fortunately, his master also had a sense of awe for this primordial continent, and at least did not order him to fly around aimlessly with the iron folding fan, but instead chose to land and travel on foot in a low-key manner.

"Take these with you." Song Changming handed three concealment talismans to the three of them.

Tang Kecha and the other two all had techniques for concealing their aura, but in Song Changming's opinion, they were somewhat rudimentary and not very effective.

At least in front of Song Changming, this little trick of concealment was useless, not even as effective as his three concealment talismans.

Of course, these three concealment talismans were also specially made by him; they were three concealment talismans with a strength of tenth rank!

In the entire world of talisman masters in Kyushu, only Song Changming could create such a talisman.

This was also thanks to the orange-level characteristic of his Talisman Immortal, which allowed his talisman skills to reach their peak. Before coming to the Primordial Continent, he had already become the only tenth-level talisman master in the Nine Provinces.

None of Tang Kecha and the other two had ever seen talismans before, and they found them novel. After they were put on their bodies and they took effect, they were even more astonished.

The three of them were completely concealed by the talisman. Even if they closed their eyes, they would not be able to detect their own existence in the world they sensed.

"This is much better than the Vatican's backlighting spell!" Fran thought to herself.

"This provides a considerable guarantee of safety." After testing the power of the talisman, Tang Kecha felt much more at ease than before.

Before the group had gone far, they suddenly saw several Ice Soul Ghosts who had also escaped from the Azure Valley.

They walked ahead, and even when the group got within two miles, they couldn't spot them.

Only after they took a few more steps closer did one of the ice birds seem to sense something and turn its head to look in their direction.

A bird's cry startled the Ice Soul Ghost, who was also hiking.

The Ice Soul Demon, a humanoid figure five or six meters tall, exuded a freezing aura and was quite conspicuous outside the Azure Valley.

The frost-covered path along the way was not concealed at all.

Upon seeing Song Changming and his group, the Ice Soul Ghosts immediately turned around and approached them.

The ice birds that flew low were the first to attack, swooping down on Song Changming and the others.

As servants, Tang Kecha and the other two naturally had the awareness to protect their master. A folding iron fan flew out against the wind, like a curved blade, slicing straight down.

Fran then spread her arms, chanted incantations, and cast her attack spells.

However, without her scepter, the power of this spell has noticeably decreased compared to before.

Biyougen continued shooting arrows. Most of his skills were concentrated in archery, and his arrows were quite powerful and accurate.

The iron folding fan severed half of the wing of the closest ice bird and shattered its icy body.

Fran knocked down the second ice bird, though it wasn't seriously injured.

Biyougen's Nine-Star Arrow Barrage was like a machine gun firing in quick succession. The nine arrows pinned the third ice bird to death, and a large cloud of ice mist exploded from its body.

All three of them wanted to show off in front of Song Changming.

After all, as servants, if they have no value or use, most of them will have a miserable end. They will be abandoned and used as cannon fodder and then discarded. This is commonplace.

The three of them were well aware of this and did not want to lose their value.

The iron folding fan traced a crescent moon shape in mid-air, descending from top to bottom, and with a whoosh, it cut another swooping ice bird in two.

In terms of the power of a Noble Phantasm, this iron folding fan is indeed remarkable.

The ice birds that had been kept were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the few ice demons were no longer at ease. They roared and charged forward at full speed.

Tang Kecha and his two companions were not as composed as they had been when dealing with the Ice Soul Ghost.

Song Changming observed from the side and found that the Ice Soul Clan was indeed something special. Although they were just spirits formed from a little frost at the bottom of the Azure Valley, and were at the lowest end of the food chain, they were still native creatures formed by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Each of them possessed formidable combat power, and even with Tang Kecha and his two companions working together, they were unable to subdue these Ice Soul Ghosts in a short time.

After looking at it for a moment, Song Changming couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

He shouldn't expect the trio he'd taken in to provide much help in the actual battle.

Aside from providing him with intelligence, the three men's role was limited to running errands and acting as cannon fodder. If they were in Kyushu, they might have some value as subordinates and could be trained.

But in this primordial continent, the three of them had no need to worry about their potential.

After all, without becoming an immortal, everyone is the same, nothing at all!

He didn't want to waste time here; if the commotion he caused attracted a real monster, that would be troublesome.

With this in mind, Song Changming took a step forward and then disappeared from the spot.

On the hard rocky ground, there was a deeply recessed footprint, clearly visible as if branded onto a block of iron.

Tang Kecha and the other two only felt a gust of wind pass by. The next moment, the upper body of the Ice Soul Ghost, which had just been incredibly ferocious, exploded, leaving only its lower body standing motionless in place.

Song Changming froze for a moment before the three of them realized that it was their master who had made the move.

Immediately afterwards, Song Changming released four lightning chains from his left and right hands, which instantly wrapped around the necks of the remaining four Ice Soul Ghosts.

With a pull of his arms, the four Ice Soul Ghosts who were showing off their strength were dragged over.

With his left and right hands facing outwards, Song Changming suddenly unleashed a large burst of flames, so powerfully that it looked as if two volcanoes had suddenly erupted.

The four Ice Soul Ghosts were originally small ice blocks that had come to life. Once they were engulfed by the fire, most of them immediately melted away.

A few seconds later, all that was left on the ground was a puddle of remaining icy water.

In the icy water, there are four glistening ice beads, which are called Ice Souls, a valuable natural material that can be used to make artifacts, refine elixirs, and even for cultivation.

The only thing that dissatisfied Song Changming was these Ice Soul Ghosts; after killing them, they didn't contribute any flesh and blood essence.

Even with painstaking collection, he could only gather a few wisps of pure cold energy mixed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which were almost useless to his cultivation of witchcraft techniques.

It can only be said that compared to these spirit-transformed monsters, he prefers enemies with flesh and blood, such as the several azure dragons in the Azure Valley.
These ordinary Ice Soul Ghosts are roughly equivalent to the Demon King level in the Nine Provinces. There may be even more powerful Ice Soul Ghosts, but most of them were killed by the Azure Dragon in the Azure Valley.

"Let's go." Song Changming patted the few ice shards off his hands and said casually.

Tang Kecha and the other two exchanged glances, all of them able to see the shock in each other's eyes.

This was the second time Song Changming had demonstrated his strength in front of them.

Compared to the time they were subdued in the cave, this time they were undoubtedly much stronger.

The several Ice Soul Demons were almost powerless against Song Changming alone, and were instantly killed in a single encounter.

And it seems that their owner is not using his full strength at all, appearing completely relaxed.

"Could it be that he has already obtained the immortal fruit?" This absurd thought suddenly popped into Tang Kecha's mind.

If one hadn't become an immortal, how could a mortal be so powerful?!
In the distance, the sun rises, its hazy golden light shining through the sky and spreading across the earth, completely awakening all things in the world.

Song Changming subconsciously looked eastward, the direction from which the first rays of sunlight shone and where the first sun rose.

Why do we talk about the first one?

This is because, in addition to the sun in the east, there are eight other similar suns hanging in different parts of the sky.

In September, under the bright sun, the sky is filled with stars!
This is an important part of the celestial phenomena in the primordial world!

For the past few days, Song Changming has been staying in the valley and can't see very clearly.

Now that we've left the Azure Valley, aside from everything else, we can see the nine suns in the sky clearly.

It is worth mentioning that these nine suns, when viewed from the ground, are not actually the same size.

The largest and brightest in the East not only releases sunlight but also occasionally sends down divine fire, bringing a touch of awe-inspiring celestial flames to the primordial continent.

The remaining eight stones range in size from half the size of the one in the East to similar size to the one in the East.

The one in the east is the most golden, while the other suns are undoubtedly weaker. The smaller the sun is, the less intense its light is, and the more dim and yellowish it appears.

It was precisely because these eight suns varied in size and strength that the primordial continent was not scorched into a furnace by the nine suns.

On the contrary, because of these nine suns, the spiritual energy of the primordial continent has been abundant and has never been depleted.

"Nine luminaries in the sky, truly a spectacle," Song Changming thought to himself.

There are nine luminaries during the day and a September moon at night; no matter how you look at it, this is not a normal celestial phenomenon.

Despite its unusual nature, it coexisted with this primordial continent, maintaining the operation of heaven and earth for countless years.

For the primordial continent and all living beings nurtured by heaven and earth, there should be nine suns and nine moons in the sky; not one less would be acceptable.

In addition, he could also sense that the time between day and night on the primordial continent had become much longer.

The days are long, and the nights are just as long.

A day on the original continent was probably equivalent to a day and night in the Nine Provinces.

This is something that would be difficult for ordinary people to adapt to, but for Song Changming, it was not much different.

With his energy, he could go ten days and ten nights without sleep and still be fine.

Night or day has little effect on him.

After killing those Ice Soul Ghosts, Song Changming hadn't gone far when he suddenly frowned and looked back.

He only felt a faint sense of perception circling around them.

Fran behind him also stiffened abruptly, attracting the attention of Tang Kecha and Biyougen.

"Fulan, what's wrong?" Tang Kecha asked first.

"Master, I've sensed someone spying on us!" Fran made no attempt to hide anything and spoke directly.

Although she was the weakest in terms of physical strength among the trio, she was extremely sensitive to the spiritual realm.

She can sense whether someone is spying on her from the shadows; she's like a human radar.

Song Changming began to take it seriously. If he was the only one who noticed something amiss, he couldn't be certain.

But Fran also sensed something, which proved that someone was indeed spying on them.

“Master, Fran has never been wrong in her perception. We are really being watched.” Tang Kecha also said with a solemn expression.

He understood Fran's perception abilities and knew that she wouldn't make a mistake as long as she spoke!

More importantly, this place is not like the Azure Valley. If it were spied on by unknown creatures, it would be an extremely dangerous thing in his view.

"It's alright, let's leave here first." Song Changming remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the scattered plants and trees around him. Finding nothing, he led the three away at a faster pace.
