My Optimized Immortal Life

There was quicksand all around, and Chen Qing was deep in the abyss, where he couldn't see his hand in front of him. But with his spiritual sense, he could explore without any problem.

When the quicksand passed by Chen Qing, it was all bounced away by the protective spiritual shield, but the spiritual shield was also suppressed by the surrounding earth energy, and its power was reduced.

Chen Qing walked forward several hundred steps and found the quicksand spirit that was not far away from him.

This spirit soul looked similar to the one Houtu had killed before. It had all four limbs, but its face was replaced by a depression in quicksand, and the earth energy around it was constantly being absorbed by it.

Chen Qing did not conceal his breath. As soon as he approached, the spirit immediately noticed his arrival. It turned to look at Chen Qing and suddenly raised its hand.

Chen Qing saw countless quicksands around him gathering together, the earth's energy condensing, and all pressing towards where he was, like the sky falling.

This method does not involve any magic, but seems to be the instinct of these spirits?

While observing, Chen Qing flashed his body to avoid the earth energy that was pressing down from the quicksand spirit.

Seeing Chen Qing dodging, the quicksand spirit waved its hand and slapped again, and the earth energy condensed again and came towards Chen Qing.

It seems that he only has the ability to manipulate the earth's energy in a small range.

Chen Qing observed with his spiritual sense and found that when this quicksand spirit controlled the earth's energy, it could only mobilize the earth's energy within a hundred steps around it, and it was powerless any further away.

However, its ability to mobilize the earth's energy alone is not easy to deal with. After all, the earth's energy here is extremely dense, and the spiritual energy is suppressed. Even if Chen Qing uses magic, the power will be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, Hou Tu’s initial demonstration also gave Chen Qing an idea.

Chen Qing was seen escaping while making hand gestures with his hands. The magic power of the Nascent Soul gathered in his hands and then turned into a crescent-shaped flame. Chen Qing waved his hand and slashed, and the crescent-shaped flame suddenly flew out of his hand and headed straight for the quicksand spirit soul.

He moved his hands again, and two more moon-shaped flames came out. Three flames, one in front and two behind, went straight to the soul. Their power was so great that the surrounding earth energy could not be blocked. Even the quicksand was melted and turned into nothing.

When the spirit saw Chen Qing using magic and heading straight for it, it immediately went back to defend itself, manipulating the condensed earth energy to block in front of itself. The crescent-shaped flame seemed slow, but it was actually very fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the spirit and landed heavily in front of the condensed earth energy.

boom! boom! boom!

Three loud explosions were heard, and a violent air wave swept over, blowing away the surrounding quicksand and creating a temporary gap here.

The explosion of the moon-shaped flames naturally broke the condensed earth energy, and the violent air waves that vented out also caused the quicksand spirit to stagnate and unable to move.

At this time, Chen Qing's figure suddenly appeared beside him. Chen Qing suddenly stretched out one hand, as if entering an empty space, and went straight through a layer of quicksand on the surface of the quicksand spirit's body and grabbed the Diyuan Pearl in it.

Chen Qing pulled out the Diyuan Pearl, and then the spirit in front of him dissipated directly, and the hand that was about to be raised turned into quicksand and dissipated.

Looking at the Diyuan Pearl in his hand, Chen Qing nodded secretly, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

This Earth Yuan Pearl is indeed extraordinary. It is condensed from the essence of earth energy. This one alone is worth all the earth energy I have collected.

Chen Qing was delighted for a moment, but then he thought about Cheng Xiao asking to take away 70% of his harvest, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Cheng Xiao was a man of great greed. Chen Qing had little contact with him. They had only spoken a few words during the Nascent Soul Ceremony, so he did not know him well.

He came here this time for the spiritual materials promised by Houtu, and then realized that Houtu was hiding something, so he went to find Cheng Xiao and wanted to find out something from him. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao knew everything and even taught him the technique of collecting the Earth Yuan Pearls. Later, he used this as a threat and wanted to take 70% of Chen Qing's harvest for free.

How could Chen Qing let him get his wish?

Cheng Xiao thought he had the background of Yuxiao Sect, so he wanted to use it to put pressure on me. Unfortunately, Yuxiao Sect is only a fourth-level force, and Cheng Xiao alone cannot represent the entire Yuxiao Sect.

When talking with Cheng Xiao, Chen Qing had no intention of abiding by the agreement between them.

He has now achieved the Nascent Soul stage. Although his cultivation is still shallow, his combat power is outstanding and he no longer needs to hide himself. Cheng Xiao's cultivation is only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if his accumulation is deeper than his, he is definitely not his opponent.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Qing's consciousness expanded again, and he found several more quicksand spirits. He immediately set off to collect some more earth beads.

On the other side, Cheng Xiao was walking in the quicksand.

Unlike Chen Qing and others who were exploring around, he was going downwards. He had already gone at least a thousand feet deep, but there was still a bottomless abyss under his feet. The earth's energy was even thicker, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.

Cheng Xiao had no worry on his face. Even though the number of quicksand spirits appearing around him continued to increase, he simply killed them, took their Earth Yuan Pearls, and then continued down.

Unlike Chen Qing and the others, Cheng Xiao accepted Hou Tu's invitation to come here to resist the natural disaster, but it was just a cover. His purpose was not the Earth Yuan Pearl in the Quicksand Spirit Soul. Although such spiritual materials could improve his cultivation, it was nothing compared to the source of the earth buried under the Abyss of the Earth.

The earth energy here is so rich and extraordinary. There must be an earth source revealed underneath. If I can obtain some of the earth source, I can use it to nourish the body of earth element, break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and even improve my aptitude. This is a chance to reach the sky in one step.

Cheng Xiao looked ahead in his mind, and suddenly his heart was filled with excitement. He wished he could find the source of the earth immediately and use it to nourish himself.

Although he was extremely excited, Cheng Xiao still paid attention to his surroundings, and his spiritual sense was explored without any obstruction. He was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the range of his spiritual sense was as much as three hundred miles. Within these three hundred miles, the number of quicksand spirits was extremely large, far more than the nearly one hundred that Houtu had told Chen Qing.

This is normal. After all, this place is already deep in the Xuanyuan. Houtu, Chen Qing and others are only on the surface of the Xuanyuan. The Diwang Palace collects spiritual materials and kills spiritual souls on the surface to grow stronger. Therefore, they only need to clear the quicksand spiritual souls on the surface to prevent them from affecting the disciples of the Diwang Palace.

Xuanming and Houtu must have been to this deep place. Both of them were Nascent Souls of the Earth Palace. They practiced the Dao of Earth techniques and could also refine the Earth Yuan Pearl to improve their cultivation.

However, precisely because these two practiced earth-based techniques and refined the Earth Yuan Pearl, they had a strong earth energy on their bodies, which was easily detected by the Quicksand Spirits. Therefore, they could not go deep into this place at all and would be besieged by a large number of Quicksand Spirits.

Cheng Xiao is a cultivator from the Yuxiao Sect, and the technique he practices is the Golden Dao technique. Although he can refine the Earth Yuan Pearl and improve his cultivation, no earth energy will remain on his body. Therefore, the Liusha Spirit cannot easily sense him.

Thanks to this, even though Cheng Xiao continued to go deeper into the abyss, he restrained his aura, only emitted his spiritual consciousness, and deliberately avoided most of the quicksand spirits, so he would not attract the siege of a large number of spirits.

After going a thousand feet deeper, the surrounding quicksand began to become thinner and the surrounding space became narrower. Cheng Xiao knew very well that his destination was approaching.
