Chapter 123 Mutant Beast, Chameleon Flying Lizard! Spatial Ability!
Welcome to Cola Novels! A vast collection of novels awaits your exploration!
"We still have to go to the open sea."
Lin Chuan tapped the edge of the storage bag lightly with his fingertips, having already made up his mind.
The Inner Star Sea had been occupied by human cultivators for countless years. Any demon beast with a bit of intelligence or cultivation would have been killed off by wave after wave of cultivators.
It was swept clean.
Occasionally, a few level-five or six demonic beasts would appear, but they were merely stray fish that had gotten lost in the outer sea and accidentally wandered in. Their cultivation was mediocre, their supernatural abilities were ordinary, and their numbers were extremely small.
If you want a real opportunity, if you want to quickly accumulate cultivation resources and wealth, the only way is to go to the outer star sea—that vast and boundless wild sea where danger and opportunity coexist.
Without further delay, he immediately turned around, transformed into a faint ray of light, and hurried back to Tianxing City.
Soon after.
He then set foot on the sacred mountain once more, ascending straight up to the Starry Sky Palace on the fiftieth floor.
For the last teleportation, he chose Niushou Island, which was relatively safe and had a high concentration of cultivators.
This time, however, Lin Chuan's gaze went directly past Niushou Island and landed on a more distant and remote location on the sea chart—Silver Shark Island.
This island is a new island that Xinggong has only recently developed.
From the time the Star Palace sent people to settle in and set up the teleportation array to the time it officially opened to the public, it only took a short thirty years.
The sea map issued by the Star Palace only shows a rough outline of the area within a radius of 100,000 nautical miles around Silver Shark Island. Beyond that, there is a shocking blank space, and everything must be explored by the cultivators themselves, risking their lives.
This is why very few cultivators are willing to go to Silver Shark Island.
But those who dare to set foot here are all proud and capable individuals.
Basically, only Core Formation cultivators have the confidence to explore and develop the waters near these newly opened islands.
If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to rashly enter, nine times out of ten they would only become snacks for deep-sea monsters, leaving not even a trace of their remains.
"This place suits me perfectly."
Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The fewer people there are and the more dangerous it is, the less likely you are to expose your secrets and the more likely you are to seize opportunities that others miss.
Without saying a word, he paid the full amount of teleportation spirit stones, and then stepped into the teleportation array together with his avatar Qu Hun beside him.
The array plate shimmered with spiritual light, and the array patterns were instantly activated.
A blinding white light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the two figures vanished into thin air.
……
Silver Shark Island.
The entire island has only one solitary black stone house as a teleportation node, with a few simple wooden houses scattered around it, barely enough to shelter from the wind and rain and serve as temporary shops.
The market was deserted. A quick scan with divine sense revealed only two cultivators strolling around.
The two of them both emanated the powerful spiritual energy unique to those at the Core Formation stage.
When the two cultivators saw that two more Core Formation cultivators had arrived, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes, and they quickly stepped forward to greet them warmly.
He repeatedly invited Lin Chuan and his companion to team up for a sea voyage so they could look after each other.
Lin Chuan simply shook his head, directly refusing.
With his current strength and resources, forming a team would not only be a hindrance but would also expose his whereabouts.
……
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the mysterious divination in Lin Chuan's mind was updated precisely on time.
Today's divination result: Minor good fortune.
[The divination reads: Today, six thousand miles off Silver Shark Island, beneath a crescent-shaped reef, you discovered a white bead.]
Lin Chuan's eyes flickered, and without further hesitation, he immediately harnessed his magical artifact and set sail.
Guided by the divination, he accurately located the area, dived into the dark seabed, and sure enough, in the crescent-shaped reef, he found a smooth, white, egg-sized bead.
"A commemorative bead?"
Lin Chuan pointed at the round bead and recognized it at a glance.
This is a rather rare little item in the cultivation world, capable of recording images, sounds, and even storing a brief fragment of divine consciousness.
Although it doesn't have direct combat effectiveness, it might play an unexpected role at certain crucial moments.
With a flick of his wrist, he put the image-recording bead into his storage bag, treating it as just another little gadget.
……
Three days later.
Today's divination result: Minor good fortune.
[The divination reads: Today, you traveled to a small, linear island 20,000 li to the north, where you discovered a level-six mutated monster on its western side!]
"A mutated monster?"
Lin Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with a sharp light.
The so-called mutated demon beast is a demon beast that, when it advances and breaks through, undergoes a rare mutation in its soul and body, thus awakening a special divine ability far surpassing that of its peers.
These kinds of monsters are fierce in battle and have amazing potential. If you can subdue them, they will be top-notch combat helpers.
Without further delay, he immediately set his sights on the north and flew off into the sky.
After flying for about ten thousand miles, a ferocious beast suddenly burst out of the deep sea and blocked Lin Chuan's path.
It was a bizarre monster, enormous in size and shaped like an octopus, but covered with hundreds and thousands of strange eyes—a level-five monster, the Thousand-Eyed Demon.
The demon's countless eyes opened simultaneously, unleashing a torrential downpour of red, blue, yellow, and green beams of light that hurtled towards Lin Chuan!
The attacks appeared dense and terrifying, but in reality, their power was dispersed and could not break through the faint protective aura on Lin Chuan's body.
Lin Chuan was too lazy to take action himself.
He casually opened the spirit beast pouch, and a beam of crimson spiritual light shot into the sky.
Level 6 Monster - Bloodline Dragon!
A terrifying dragon's oppressive aura erupted, sweeping across all directions.
The Bloodline Dragon opened its mouth, and a crimson energy pillar as thick as a mountain swept out.
The countless beams of light shot out by the Thousand-Eyed Demon were instantly crushed and swallowed up. Before they could even let out a miserable scream, they were torn to pieces by the blood-red beams of light and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Chuan stepped forward to collect the demon core, casually put away the demon beast materials, and continued on his way.
Along the way, two or three more ignorant level-five demonic beasts jumped out to provoke them, but they were all killed in one bite by the Bloodline Flood Dragon.
In just half a day, they collected nearly ten thousand spirit stones worth of monster materials, which can be described as a small windfall.
Finally, a long and narrow linear island appeared on the horizon ahead.
The island stretches for thousands of miles in a north-south direction, but is only a few dozen miles wide. From a distance, it looks like a giant serpent lurking on the sea.
Following the guidance of the divination, Lin Chuan landed on the west side of the island, spreading his divine sense to scan it carefully.
A moment later, his gaze sharpened, and he found his target.
It was a chameleon lying on a dark reef.
This beast is no more than three zhang long, and its entire body is grayish-brown, almost exactly the same color as the surrounding reefs, blending perfectly into one.
Without careful examination using divine sense, its existence would be impossible to detect. However, the aura it exuded was calm yet fierce, clearly indicating that it was a genuine level six demon beast!
What excited Lin Chuan even more was that the divination clearly indicated that this was a mutated monster—meaning that it possessed a heaven-defying divine power.
Lin Chuan held his breath, concealed his aura, and quietly approached, preparing to use the Spirit Subjugation Seal to forcibly enslave it.
But just as he was about to make his move...
The chameleon suddenly raised its head, its cold, small pupils fixed on Lin Chuan's hiding place, as if it had already seen through everything!
The next moment, a horrifying scene unfolded.
The void in front of it suddenly twisted and collapsed, and a dark and ferocious spatial rift appeared out of thin air!
The chameleon swayed, transformed into a gray shadow, and burrowed straight into the crevice, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"A spatial rift?!"
Lin Chuan's pupils constricted as he watched the dark crack left by the flying lizard rapidly heal.
A storm raged in my heart.
Tearing through space, traversing the void.
This is a great divine power that even Nascent Soul cultivators find difficult to master!
Only those Nascent Soul cultivators with deeper cultivation, according to legend, can make initial contact with the power of space!
A mere level six demon beast actually possesses such heaven-defying talent!
Unfortunately, it still managed to escape.
Lin Chuan did not give up.
He found a secluded rock nearby, sat cross-legged, and waited for the divination results to be updated the next day.
