System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

After leaving the Northern Underworld Immortal Abode, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

And look what happened! After a whole night of work, not only had they not gotten any useful information from Mao, but dawn was almost breaking.

"This isn't a glutinous rice ball, it's more like a white pill!" With the Supreme Sun Star about to rise outside the window, there wasn't even enough time to sleep a little longer, let alone go to the toilet.

Seeing Bai Li sleeping peacefully and contentedly, Chen Xuan covered her with a fur blanket, then dismantled the multiple protective arrays he had set up in the room. Afterward, Chen Xuan tidied himself up.

"Master, why are you up so early? It's not even dawn yet!" Bai Li asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she saw that Chen Xuan was already up.

"It's okay. If you haven't slept enough, just sleep some more. There's still time, no rush."

After traveling day and night for more than a month, even Bai Li, a great demon at the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, was physically and mentally exhausted.

"Hehe, no, Master is already up. As a spirit beast, how can I stay in bed any longer?" Bai Li said, and with a somersault, she got up and quickly packed her things.

"Master, we're leaving Dead Sea City today. That old man said the Dead Sea ship can only make a round trip every seven days. If we miss it today, we'll have to wait another seven days."

Chen Xuan nodded, "Then let's go there as soon as possible." "Okay."

In less than ten minutes, Chen Xuan and his servant boarded the dilapidated boat again and set off again, heading straight for the main entrance to the Dead Sea.

Chen Xuan thought that the two of them had set off early enough, but to his surprise, by the time the small flying boat arrived at the gathering point, there were already countless rogue cultivators who wanted to cross the Dead Sea of ​​Heavy Water.

"Wow, Master, look, there are so many people here!" Bai Li said, scanning the diverse group of cultivators at the gathering point.

"It seems that even experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm cannot cross the Dead Sea; they must take a Dead Sea sunken wooden boat to get across." The master and servant moved slowly with the group and soon disappeared into the crowd.

However, just as Chen Xuan and his companion were heading towards the Dead Sea port with the flow of people, high in the sky behind them, on a huge screen, nearly thirty cultivators were glancing at their small boat from time to time out of the corner of their eyes.

The three people leading the curtain were none other than the three Myriad Manifestations Realm disciples of the Sky-Supporting Sword Sect. Beside them, wearing a hood and a black veil, was none other than the disheveled old man in yellow robes who had been drinking with Chen Xuan at the Immortal's Drunkenness yesterday.

"That girl in white is Chen Xuan's guardian spirit beast, a great demon at the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm," the disheveled old man murmured.

Upon hearing this, the cold-faced man at the head of the group smiled contemptuously and analyzed, "A spirit beast that is at the Myriad Manifestations Realm yet willingly becomes a rogue cultivator at the early stage of the First Realm of the Heavenly Palace is probably a weakling. Such a demon beast has a high realm but no real skills or magic treasures."

“Senior brother is right. We three, working together in a sword formation, can easily slay such a demonic beast.”...

The group of rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm behind him, hearing the sect disciple's confidence, were filled with anticipation.

When they looked at Chen Xuan and his servant's small flying boat again, their eyes were filled with the pleasure of killing and plundering.

"After this job, I will exchange the spiritual liquid I received for other supplies, and then return to my hometown to rebuild the tribe. I believe that will be enough."

"I'm planning to upgrade to a mid-grade human-level magic weapon, which will allow my strength to reach an even higher level."...

Hearing the whispers of the group of rogue cultivators behind them, the three leading disciples of the Sky-Supporting Sword Sect all curled their lip in disapproval.

I don't know how long we've been traveling.

Soon, the assembled rogue cultivators could vaguely hear the sound of crashing waves. At the same time, a strange stench assaulted their nostrils. While the smell of the sea was unpleasant, it was definitely not this.

"Master, this smells terrible." Bai Li frowned and looked up ahead. The horizon was undulating, and the murky black seawater resembled a viscous liquid, which not only terrified people but also made them feel an uncontrollable nausea.

"This is the Dead Sea? This feels disgusting."

Chen Xuan also caught a whiff of the Dead Sea wind, frowned slightly, and mentally compared the smells.

"This smell... it's like a dead dog thrown into a ditch on a sweltering summer day, rotting away."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Bai Li's beautiful eyes widened, and then she hurriedly nodded, "Yes, Master, that's the taste."

"But, Master, this is the Dead Sea! Given the size of the ocean, even if a thousand troops were to rot inside, let alone a single decaying animal, it shouldn't emit this kind of stench onto the shore, right?"

Clearly, when Chen Xuan and his companion's remarks reached the ears of the cultivators preparing to board the ship, the two were immediately labeled as country bumpkins.

"Is this your first time crossing the Dead Sea of ​​Heavy Water?" At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face chuckled and looked at Chen Xuan and the other person from a green gourd on the left.

“Yes, this is the first time my master and I have crossed the Dead Sea. What’s wrong?” Bai Li looked at the old man and asked, “Do you perhaps know why the Dead Sea’s flavor is born?”

Chen Xuan turned his head and saw that the old man was actually a cultivator at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. He smiled modestly and asked, "Senior, is there something special about this Dead Sea?"

Seeing Chen Xuan's respectful attitude, the old man smiled and said, "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

The surrounding crowd was very dense, resembling a rogue cultivator crossing the Dead Sea for the first time.

Upon hearing the old man's words, the scattered cultivators, both men and women, began to listen intently as they slowly propelled themselves on their flying magical artifacts.

"Since the Dead Sea was discovered, it has always had this smell of rotting corpses. As for why..." The old man tilted his head back, took a sip of immortal wine, and exhaled, "I've heard legends that the Dead Sea's sudden formation is related to the unification of this great world by the Xuanxiao royal family."

Upon hearing the name of the Xuanxiao royal family, the young masters and ladies of various tribes on several warships and mythical beast chariots in the distance also drew back their curtains to look.

"It is said that there was no Dead Sea here before; this place was once just a lake. Later, it is said that Emperor Xuanxiao unified the world and hunted down the rebels of this world. These rebels refused to submit to the rule of the Xuanxiao royal family and slaughtered cultivators in cities and towns everywhere, eventually forcing the powerful members of the Xuanxiao royal family to form a god-slaying team to chase them all the way here." Chen Xuan, Bai Li, and many other rogue cultivators around them all had shocked expressions on their faces.

"Hahaha, of course, those who are qualified to be hunted down by the powerful members of the Xuanxiao royal family must not be ordinary ruthless people. They must be gods and demons born naturally when this world was created. Just think about it, how terrifying is the destructive power and vitality of a god and demon at the Great Perfection of the Void Reversal?"

"Gods and demons?" Chen Xuan murmured.

"Haha, are there any cultivators among you who practice the Divine Demon Body Refinement Technique?" The old man continued drinking, and when he got excited, he also explained, "The Divine Demon Body Refinement Technique that you practice was created by powerful human beings based on the bodies, meridians, supernatural powers, and even the way divine power circulates of ancient gods and demons."

"Our human race has cultivated the Divine Demon Body Refining Method. Even those in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm can regenerate severed arms. Furthermore, when the Divine Demon Body Refining breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, they can even regenerate from a drop of blood."

"Thus, one can imagine how powerful a true god or demon, born naturally from the beginning of the world, would be, and how terrifying its vitality would be?"
