My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing looked at the sand roll that almost covered the sky in front of him, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

In addition to the sand scroll, he could also feel that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth here seemed to have become extremely chaotic and difficult to mobilize.

Affected by the environment here, my combat power has been reduced by at least three points. If the quicksand spirit is strong, it will be difficult to deal with.

Chen Qing's heart sank, but Hou Tu beside him showed a look of joy.

"Fellow Daoist, the Earth King Palace is just ahead. Fellow Daoist Cheng Xiao, Fairy Liu Yun, and Fellow Daoist Qing Ya are also there. Let's meet up with them first, and then make arrangements to deal with those spirits."

Hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and agreed.

The two of them walked straight through the sand scroll and entered its depths. They saw a khaki spiritual curtain standing in the place where the yellow sand was surging, covering all the surging yellow sand around it. This was the great formation of the Earth King Palace. Its power was unfathomable and it was a genuine fourth-level formation.

In Yu Chenqing's perception, near the light curtain, even the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth was forcibly suppressed and incorporated into it.

Hou Tu brought Chen Qing with him, and the two of them came all the way to the light curtain. Then Chen Qing saw Hou Tu take out a token, and the magic power surged. The token shot out a mysterious light, shining on the light curtain, and immediately opened a passage.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go."

Hou Tu looked at Chen Qing, who nodded and followed Hou Tu in.

Once you enter the light curtain, the scene in front of you is completely different from the outside world.

There were countless buildings everywhere, and monks were walking among them. The spreading yellow sand could not penetrate the formation and enter them at all, so there was no yellow sand all over the sky here.

When the monks guarding the passage saw Hou Tu, they immediately bowed and saluted.

"Palace Master, the Grand Palace Master and other True Lords are waiting in the main hall."

Hearing this, Hou Tu nodded, then looked at Chen Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go, they are already here."

Chen Qing nodded and spoke at the same time.

"I've long heard that the Earth King's Palace is magnificent and grand. Seeing it today, I can see that it's indeed as grand as it is."

Hou Tu laughed when she heard this.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. Our Earth Palace is only considered average among Nascent Soul forces. If you go to Yuxiao Sect and take a look, you will understand the essence of the top Nascent Soul forces."

After hearing this, Chen Qing was a little surprised.

"The Yuxiao Sect has such a profound foundation, how does it compare to the Linxian Pavilion?"

Hou Tu smiled.

"Of course, Linxian Pavilion is far superior to it. However, top-notch Nascent Soul Sects like Yuxiao Sect are still beyond our reach."

The two did not chat for too long and soon arrived at the main hall of the Earth King Palace. At this time, there were already four people standing in the main hall, all of whom were Nascent Soul cultivators, and there was not a single Core Formation cultivator from the Earth King Palace.

Among these four people, Chen Qing had already seen Cheng Xiao and Liu Yun. Qing Ya from Dian Cang Sect was an old man with white hair and beard, but his magic power was extremely condensed and his aura was as deep as the sea. Chen Qing did not dare to underestimate him.

Among the four, the one with the most astonishing aura is the Supreme Palace Master of the Earth King Palace. He looks middle-aged, with gray hair on his temples, and there is no trace of magical power around him. Only the aura he occasionally reveals is astonishing.

Chen Qing knew at a glance that the old Palace Master of the Earth King Palace had accumulated a lot of knowledge in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and was probably not far from the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

However, compared to everyone else, this old palace master had a bit of deathly aura about him, which was a sign that he didn't have much time left.

Seeing Chen Qing and Hou Tu arriving, the four people in the hall cast their eyes over. Then, Hou Tu stepped forward and looked at the old palace master.

"Master, what is the current situation of the disaster?"

Chen Qing followed Hou Tu silently, gestured to Cheng Xiao, Liu Yun and Qing Ya, then stood aside silently without saying much.

The old master of the Earth King Palace glanced at Chen Qing, then looked away. He looked at Hou Tu and spoke.

"No problem. Elders and disciples have already gone to temporarily suppress the movement in the Earth Abyss using the Huiyuan Sanling Formation. However, if the Quicksand Spirit is not eliminated, this method is only a delaying tactic and is not a good plan."

After saying this, the old palace master looked at Chen Qing and others and spoke.

"Everyone, suppressing this land disaster is not difficult. We only need to disperse the quicksand spirits that gather countless earth energy in the Earth-Splitting Abyss, and we can stop the surging earth energy. However, due to the large number of quicksand spirits, unless you have the ultimate cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage, it will be difficult to eliminate this land disaster by fighting alone."

"Therefore, this old man needs the help of everyone to jointly eradicate these quicksand spirits."

As soon as the old palace master finished speaking, Cheng Xiao Zhenjun beside Chen Qing spoke.

"Senior Xuanming, that Quicksand Spirit is no ordinary being. Within the Earth-Splitting Abyss, it can continuously regenerate with the help of the earth's energy. If we fail to destroy its spirit core, it will be difficult to kill it."

Hearing this, Xuan Ming spoke again.

"Young friend Cheng Xiao is very knowledgeable about the Quicksand Spirit. Yes, that's true. Therefore, when you fight against the Quicksand Spirit, you must pay attention to the location of its spirit core. Our royal palace has stood here for nearly a thousand years and has long since developed a method specifically for finding the spirit cores within these spirits. Fellow Daoists, please take a look."

After saying that, Xuan Ming took out four jade slips from his sleeve and handed them to the four people.

After reading it, True Lord Cheng Xiao nodded.

"This method is truly ingenious. It can actually detect the location of the spirit core in this way. It will definitely make it much easier when fighting the enemy."

After seeing this, Chen Qing had the same idea as Cheng Xiao.

"Since you are new here, let Hou Tu arrange a cave for you to rest for a day and recuperate. Tomorrow we will try to annihilate these spirits in one fell swoop and resolve the disaster."

Xuanming gave a few more instructions and then asked Houtu to take Chen Qing and others out of the main hall.

After leaving the main hall, Chen Qing and the others were arranged by Houtu to live in a cave each. This was the residence of the elders in the Earth King Palace. It was excellently decorated and full of spiritual energy, making it most suitable for cultivators to practice.

However, after Chen Qing entered the cave, he stayed there for a while and then left his cave and went to the cave of True Lord Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao was not surprised by Chen Qing's arrival.

"Fellow Daoist, you are here to understand the Quicksand Spirit, right?"

Seeing Cheng Xiao pointed out his purpose, Chen Qing no longer concealed it and asked directly.

"Fellow Daoist Hou Tu and Senior Xuan Ming have both concealed the matter of the Quicksand Spirit. I am not well-informed and have never heard of the Quicksand Spirit, so I have no choice but to trouble you."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao smiled.

"You are so straightforward, my friend. I won't hide anything from you then."

"This Quicksand Spirit Soul is indeed formed by the condensation of the earth energy in the Earth-Splitting Abyss, but it is not actually a disaster, but a special spiritual material."

"Special spiritual material?"

Seeing Chen Qing showing a puzzled look, Cheng Xiao continued.

"This Quicksand Spirit Soul was formed by condensing extremely dense earth energy into a natural treasure called the Earth Origin Pearl. The Earth Origin Pearl then drew the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form. The spirit core I mentioned just now is precisely the Earth King Pearl."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing was stunned.

"If that's the case, then in order to defeat this Quicksand Spirit, we have to destroy the Earthly Orb?"

Cheng Xiao smiled again when he heard this.

"That's not the case. This quicksand spirit has a special method to restrain it, which can directly extract the Earth King Pearl from it. The reconnaissance method Xuanming gave us is part of this method."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face darkened.

"Then according to what Fellow Daoist Cheng Xiao said, this method should be in your hands? I wonder how I can get it."

After he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao's mouth curled up immediately. He took out a jade slip, placed it on the small table in front of the two of them, and then spoke.

"I am not a greedy person. I just hope that after you take out this Earth Yuan Pearl, you can give me 70% of it."
