Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

At this moment, in an unknown sea area.

The gray-haired Chen Xu finally found a relatively large deserted island.

He manipulated the flying leaf magic weapon and slowly descended to the edge of the deserted island.

Looking around, the island was much larger than the reef where they had landed before, and it had many trees and some unknown spiritual fruits.

"This is it," Chen Xu whispered, his voice carried away by the sea breeze.

He casually picked up the unconscious Lin Miaoyin and placed her on a slightly dry patch of sand, then retrieved his flying leaf magic weapon.

The sea is vast, and finding a place where cultivators gather in a short time is like finding a needle in a haystack.

We have no choice but to stay on this island for now and make further plans; we'll just have to treat it as a survival exercise in the wilderness...

As for Lin Miaoyin, since the amount of Forget-Dust Pill she was given in the secret room was not large, judging by the time, she should wake up soon.

This is a problem. Chen Xu currently knows nothing about this sea area, and his identity is that of a disguised gray-haired cultivator, so it's not easy to fool her.

"Let her sleep a little longer..." Chen Xu had already made up his mind and fed Lin Miaoyin a few more Forget-Dust Pills.

He then took out several low-level beast-taming rings and caught five sea fish.

Although these five sea fish only had the cultivation level of the mid-stage of Qi Refining, they were quite long, all exceeding three meters in length.

Chen Xu captured them so that the sea fish could help him explore the nearby waters and find traces of cultivators.

……

More than ten days later, Chen Xu walked out alone from the entrance of the Chushengzong Ruins.

At this point, he had accomplished his mission, finding a treasure within the ruins that could counteract the Soul-Sealing Restriction.

As for Li Yuan... he had already abandoned him in a remote part of the ruins, leaving him to fend for himself.

The reason Chen Xu didn't kill Li Yuan himself was that he had already tried it many times in the jade slip space.

Once Li Yuan suffers a fatal injury, he will immediately regain consciousness and then use a secret technique to escape.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

If I were to take action myself and Li Yuan were to escape, it would cause even more trouble.

Chen Xu stopped at the entrance to the ruins, lost in thought.

This clone's current existence is limited to less than a day.

What made him somewhat uneasy was what kind of strange change would occur when the fleshy ball in his stomach dissipated.

The Fish Emperor said he would grant me life. Could this clone really survive until today?

After setting up several isolation formations around him, Chen Xu sat cross-legged and waited quietly.

Several hours later, the time limit for the [one-time training dummy] finally reached zero.

Chen Xu's body jolted violently and began to disintegrate rapidly.

However, just as this annihilation power was about to completely disintegrate the clone.

The strange meatball that had replaced the dantian suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

This blood mist seemed to have a life of its own; as soon as it appeared, it began to frantically absorb Chen Xu's essence and blood.

Then, an even more horrifying scene unfolded.

From within that writhing cloud of blood mist, tiny fleshy tentacles extended out.

It precisely lunged at the part where the clone had been annihilated, filling the void left by the annihilation.

Between the annihilation and the replenishment of flesh and blood tentacles, a balance was formed in the physical body of Chen Xu's clone.

His body was transforming from a human form into a monster composed of countless tentacles.

Inside the Dark City Cave, Chen Xu's true form gasped in shock.

At this moment, his consciousness was in a detached state, so naturally he did not experience the pain.

But the intense discomfort caused by the visual impact still sent chills down his spine.

Just when Chen Xu thought the fleshy tentacles would succeed, the annihilation accelerated.

The fleshy tentacles hissed and convulsed violently.

But in less than a breath, it quickly disintegrated and disappeared completely.

Chen Xu's first clone died.

Chen Xu opened his eyes in the Dark City cave, feeling a mix of emotions:

"Tsk... granting me life... that's quite an impressive claim..."

The evil methods employed by the self-proclaimed "Fish Emperor" were indeed bizarre and unpredictable.

But clearly, the "life" it grants is far from enough to withstand the annihilation at the rule level of the "disposable training dummies".

After thinking for a moment, he took out the last scarecrow.

Chen Xu's gaze lingered on the scarecrow for a few moments before he put it back into his storage bag.

The clone in the sea area only has a dozen days left to explore, and its value for exploration and its importance for future planning are immeasurable.

Right now, he only has one disposable training dummy left. He should postpone his return to Hansong Sect for now…

Let's open the loot first and see if we can get any new treasures...

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the two phantom treasure chests in front of him.

One of them was dropped during the extermination of sandworms, while the other was thanks to the rat Changsheng.

However, in order to support the longevity of the rat [Summoning the Rat], Chen Xu's previously accumulated spirit stones were almost depleted.

We're currently spending more than we earn, so we need to find a way to earn spirit stones.

Then, with a thought, he simultaneously opened the two phantom treasure chests.

A flash of light, and the two items slowly solidified.

They are a copper ball and a mini scarecrow.

Upon seeing the two spoils of war, Chen Xu's eyes lit up immediately:

[Secondary Copyer]: Can copy some loot.

[Training Dummy]: Summons a clone with customizable appearance. The clone's cultivation level and strength are synchronized with the original body, and they share the same storage space.

(Some of the original's special abilities, such as Hextech runes, will not be inherited by the clone, but the clone will randomly carry an emblem, and only one [Training Dummy] can exist at a time.)

……

On the edge of the deserted island, the gray-haired clone sat in a rocking chair.

He was holding a map made of some kind of tough animal hide.

The map edges are severely worn, but the key island information is still relatively clear.

A day earlier, a fleet of merchant ships belonging to ordinary people passed by the deserted island.

Chen Xu quietly approached, using his late-stage Qi Refining power to intimidate him slightly, and easily obtained basic information about the sea area and this map.

The sea area is called the Meteorite Sea. The map shows that the deserted island he is currently on is located in the outer sea area of ​​the Meteorite Sea.

The islands in the outer sea are scattered like stars, but most of them are small in size and relatively poor in resources. They are mostly the domain of ordinary people, and there are few traces of cultivators.

The sea area where cultivators gather is called the Inner Sea.

That is the true center of the Meteor Sea.

Large and small fairy islands float or take root on the blue waves, and are occupied by different fairy forces.

Ordinary merchant ships dared not approach the inland sea.

Because between the inland sea and the open sea lies a stormy sea.

It is said that only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above are capable of leading a team through the area.

However, the map only records detailed information about the outer seas, while the descriptions of the inland seas are mostly vague.

Chen Xu put away the map, his brows furrowing slightly.

If I want to go to the Inner Sea, I must first establish a foundation.

Otherwise, crossing the Storm Sea as a Qi Refining cultivator would be too conspicuous.

Although I don't know what this inland sea looks like, fortunately the language is the same here, which saves me a lot of trouble...
