Chapter 004: Savage Islands

Waves surging like clouds, reaching the extremes of emotion and swordsmanship, wielding the sword for the sake of emotion, entering the path with the sword

Pang Ban, the unparalleled Demon Lord, sows the seeds of demonic intent in the heart, instilling awe throughout the ages

Awooo ... ...

A clear spring flows gently like a jade belt, gathering in the forest to form a small lake as bright and transparent as a sapphire. Tall and dense trees encircle the small lake, shielding it from the scorching sun and casting large areas of shade.

This is a habitat for seabirds. When Xiao Chen entered this area, countless birds were startled into flight from the dense forest, and thousands of seabirds circled and called out among the trees and in the sky, with feathers drifting down like snow.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Xiao Chen decided to explore the surrounding terrain and find a temporary place to stay.

Those names that have shaken the ages emerged one by one in Xiao Chen's mind. Since those individuals have already attained immortality in the world, he believes that if there is a chance in the future, he might truly meet them. This is by no means a mere illusion or empty fantasy

It was not until he had traversed the dense forest for a long time that the area gradually returned to tranquility

Xiao Chen felt a surge of alarm as he discovered two formidable beasts on the outskirts of the island. This island in the sea was indeed shrouded in mystery. Given that he had not yet recovered from his injuries, he dared not take further risks and began to retrace his steps along the original path.

Xiao Chen did not want to provoke some strange beasts, so he hurriedly turned around and dashed into the forest, while the saber-toothed tiger confronted the two-headed violent ape

After a night of rest, Xiao Chen felt much better. If he avoided strenuous activities, he could move without significant issues. Standing on the beach, facing the rising sun, he began to gather the essence of heaven and earth, practicing the mysterious techniques inscribed on the ancient stone tablet, his entire being as still as a pine tree.

The flesh and blood are continuously purified and improved by the purest energy, with the physical constitution changing day by day and year by year

Aowu ... ...

Xiao Chen emerged from the depths of the coconut grove, gazing at the endless ocean, imagining the terrifying scene of that colossal creature displaying its ferocity in the sea; indeed, it is a peerless beast of terror

After the tide receded, the beach was left strewn with shells, small shrimp, crabs, sea urchins, and some lively fish, making Xiao Chen's breakfast exceptionally abundant. Flames danced beside the coconut grove, where a shell the size of a basin was placed, with the coconut juice boiling inside, and the seafood had already released an enticing aroma

Not having advanced far, Xiao Chen saw many mythical and fearsome beasts that only appeared in legends, and he witnessed numerous bloody scenes. He had seen a winged divine leopard tear apart two giant elephants; a gigantic python with a single horn devoured three fierce tigers

Xiao Chen possesses great talent in the path of cultivation. From a young age, he has been practicing the enigmatic Qi Refinement Diagram. A magnificent and sacred hall has already begun to slowly open its doors to him

Xiao Chen was also shaken, his blood surging, his body trembling, and his eardrums nearly ruptured

After walking approximately three to four miles further in, Xiao Chen entered the primeval old forest area, where ancient trees with gnarled roots stood tall, and century-old vines twisted and intertwined. Here, the trees were dense, and fierce beasts roamed freely.

In addition, there are many fruit trees nearby, including tall coconut palms and slightly shorter pineapple, lemon, and lychee trees. The branches are laden with abundant fruits, exuding a sweet fragrance that permeates the forest, making it particularly enticing

It must be said that the weather at sea is unpredictable. By afternoon, the originally clear sky became overcast in the blink of an eye, as large dark clouds rapidly surged in.

Dugu Qiubai, with a sword in hand, looks down upon the world, sweeping across the six directions, rarely encountering a worthy opponent

A fierce saber-toothed tiger roared, baring its menacing fangs as it lunged at Xiao Chen. He spun around, kicked out, and with a powerful sweep of his right leg, he knocked the ferocious tiger to the ground

The area around the small lake is further adorned with intertwining wisteria, and an array of unknown flowers blooms in large clusters, displaying vibrant hues of purple and red. The fragrance of the flowers wafts through the air, complemented by the melodious and enchanting songs of birds, making it truly an ideal place to reside

rumbling ... ...

The legendary dragon's roar is nothing more than this, is it not

The gentle morning light fell upon Xiao Chen, his breathing long and steady. Invisible rays of delicate light flowed from his skin into his body, joyfully moving within him.

Xiao Chen established a rhythm with his breathing intervals, guiding the golden rays of sunlight into his body with each inhalation, allowing them to permeate through his flesh and blood, reaching his organs and bones, so that every inch of his body was infused with golden radiance. Then, during exhalation, the impure vital energy from his organs, bones, and flesh was expelled through his skin.

At that moment, a beastly roar echoed from not far away, and a five-meter-tall two-headed giant ape charged over. Its towering body, dark and shaggy fur, and menacing double heads made it particularly terrifying

The ground is covered with a thick layer of bird droppings, and nests are found everywhere on the branches and the ground. Bird eggs are visible in many places, and numerous chicks are crying out for food, while countless adult seabirds are continuously flying and calling out.

This roar is no less than the roar of the ancient ferocious beast, the eight-armed evil dragon! It is hard to imagine what kind of ferocious beast it could be.

By the sapphire-like small lake, Xiao Chen erected a bamboo house, inside which he set up a bamboo bed. The residence, with its lush green hues, was filled with the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, creating an atmosphere of elegance and comfort

Roar ... ...

A tremendous roar suddenly emanated from deep within the mountains, the sound deafening, shattering gold and splitting stone, soaring straight into the clouds. Startled, all the beasts cried out in lament, and chaos erupted deep within the mountains

Ultimately, Xiao Chen found a suitable place for recuperation on the outskirts of the island. It was located only two or three miles from the beach, near the lair of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, which deterred ordinary ferocious beasts from approaching easily

The essence of cultivation lies in the continuous breaking of the shackles of the human body, achieving a constant transformation and sublimation of the self. Xiao Chen firmly believes that one day, he too will be able to break through the boundaries of life and death, stepping into the legendary realm of immortality, just like those figures renowned throughout history

Li Xunhuan, Little Li Flying Dagger, never misses, the dagger shatters the void

Beyond the coconut grove lies a denser forest, lush and vibrant, with an incredibly rich array of vegetation, including towering trees such as the hope tree, white sandalwood, yellow poplar, olive, palm trees, and rubber trees, among others, with ancient trees that block out the sun.

Shifeixuan, with autumn and harmony, the image of water as spirit and jade as bone, a generation's proud celestial being

Xiao Chen discovered a grove of bamboo not far away. Without aggravating his injuries, he carefully circulated his vital energy and used a stone axe to fell rows of green bamboo, which he then transported back. After that, he sought out flexible vines.

Walking through the endless primeval forest, Xiao Chen often encounters some remnants of bones, including those of tigers, lions, and elephants, as well as many unknown gigantic skeletons. The shattered skeletons, measuring seven to eight meters and over ten meters in length, are obscured among the trees and grass, creating an exceptionally terrifying atmosphere

Wanjuan, the spirit of the universe, possesses a wisdom that is as lively as that of a sprite

After entering the realm of immortality, he has been contemplating those legendary figures who shattered the void and left their names in history. Will he ever have the chance to meet them one day

The rising morning sun casts scattered rays of light

Dark clouds rolled in, and above the island, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed as torrential rain poured down. Xiao Chen felt fortunate to have built the bamboo house in time; gazing out at the curtain of rain, his thoughts soared.

The roar of the tiger abruptly ceased. Xiao Chen turned around for a hurried glance and witnessed a gruesome scene: the two-headed violent ape had actually torn the saber-toothed tiger apart. Its tall body, covered in dark, dense fur, was splattered with blood.

Xiao Chen rushed away like the wind, exercising great caution as he avoided various strange beasts, not wishing to confront them directly
