After he restrained his thoughts, Chen Xi glanced at the surroundings, and then he forcefully restrained the impulse to refine the Fiendgod tendon in the end and placed it into the Buddhaâs Pagoda.
There were many people here, so if he refined a treasure like the tendon of a Fiendgod here, then it was difficult to avoid being noticed, and it would be troublesome.
Chen Xi took a deep breath before closing his eyes, and he sat cross-legged before the Icesoul Divine Tree like everyone else and comprehended the aura of the Grand Dao of Water that was emanated by the divine tree.
The Icesoul Divine Tree deserved being a divine tree that was born during the primeval times. In merely an instant, Chen Xi sensed a copious and extremely flawless Water Dao Insight gush into his height, and it caused his knowledge of the Water Dao Insight to grow deeper.
This sort of feeling was as if he was immersed within an endless flow of water, and every single inch of his skin was capable of clearly and perfectly sensing the changes in the flow of water. It was rapid sometimes, it gurgled sometimes, it surged sometimes, and it vividly displayed the characteristics of water.
Nothing in the world was gentler than water, and there wasnât a defense it couldnât break.
Merely a single sentence encompassed all the profundities of the Grand Dao of water. Water was gentle in nature, yet when it became violent, it was capable of destroying mountains and drowning the world. It was very adept in attack.
But in next to no time, Chen Xi noticed that the profundities of water he was able to sense was even more profound, deep, and vast than the profundities heâd grasped, and it simply encompassed everything in the world.
He was able to sense that this aura of water carried the alternation of Yin and Yang, and the comparison between light and dark. It simultaneously carried both firmness and gentleness⊠It was even more complete, more flawless and perfect.
Everything is divided into Yin and Yang, so isnât water the same? Thereâs water of extreme Yin and similarly water of extreme Yang. Water from Metal is pliable and tough, Water from Wood consolidates the foundation⊠Numerous comprehensions gushed into his heart like a stream, causing Chen Xi to be immersed into a selfless state of Dao comprehension, and his grasp of the Grand Dao of Water rose along with this.
Unknowingly, a day passed just like this.
Suddenly, a wave of footsteps approached, and it was even accompanied by a wave of low clamorous noises. This instantly jolted Chen Xi awake from his profound state.
Chen Xi couldnât help but frown. Heâd sensed earlier that if he continued to comprehend in meditation, then it wouldnât be a month before his grasp of the Water Dao Insight would attain perfection. Now it had been interrupted abruptly, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart.
I wonder who spoiled my cultivation like this. Could it be they donât know that itâs prohibited to make noise before the Icesoul Divine Tree? Chen Xi muttered in his heart. But he couldnât help but be stunned when he raised his head and looked over because it was actually An Wei that was walking over toward him.
She had gorgeous hair that hung loosely on her shoulders, skin that was white like snow, a classical and beautiful appearance, and a slender and graceful figure that drew out breathtaking and perfect lines. Her ethereal and extraordinary bearing caused her to seem like a celestial maiden that walked over from the horizon, dazzling and resplendent.
This beauty who possessed a bearing and appearance that was capable of overturning a kingdom walked over trippingly, and she naturally caused a wave of restless movement in the surroundings.
Those cultivators that were originally comprehending in meditation were disturbed and were slightly displeased yet they couldnât help but be stunned when they saw a beauty like this appear, and the displeasure in their hearts instantly vanished without a trace while their gazes became slightly burning and infatuated.
Chen Xi couldnât help but chuckle to himself when he saw this. No wonder clamorous noise would arise. A beauty like An Wei whoâs beautiful like a celestial maiden would cause restless movement no matter where she went.
âI didnât disturb your comprehension, right?â An Wei had a slightly apologetic expression as she approached.
âNo.â Chen Xi shook his head as he stood up, and then he asked with surprise. âWhatâre you doing here, Senior Sister?â
âOh, I just finished shopping and saw you cultivating here, and I felt curious about why you didnât stay at the Ice Cloud Pavilion and came here alone instead.â An Wei explained with a light voice.
Chen Xi rubbed his nose and smiled. âItâs quiet here, so itâs comfortable to stay here.â
An Weiâs mind was extremely discerning, and she instantly noticed that Chen Xi wasnât being honest. But she didnât pursue an answer and took out a jade slip before passing it to Chen Xi.
She smiled and explained. âThis is the information I just purchased, and within it is the records of some formidable figures that have arrived at Icesky City lately. Keep it, as you must know your enemies as well as you know yourself so that youâll be able to take action much more efficiently after you enter the Dark Parasolâs Abyss, and you wouldnât go so far as to offend some formidable figures.â
Chen Xi finally understood what An Wei had left the Ice Cloud Pavilion to do now, and he couldnât help but feel slight admiration. It was obvious from this that An Wei had exerted much effort for the sake of being able to safely obtain tempering in the Dark Parasolâs Abyss.
âAlright. Since youâre willing to stay here, then Iâll head to the Ice Cloud Pavilion first. But you must not leave Icesky City arbitrarily. According to the information I obtained, the Dark Parasolâs Abyss would probably emerge in the next few days.â An Wei instructed before turning around and leaving trippingly.
âDonât worry Senior Sister, Iâll be careful.â Chen Xi cupped his hands as he sent An Wei off with his gaze, and he sat down cross-legged once her beautiful figure had vanished within the Ice Cloud Pavilion before looking carefully through the jade slip.
âHeavenflow Dao Sectâs top grade Seed Disciple, Yan Shisan, six times combat strengthâŠâ
âSix Desire Devil Sectâs top grade Seed Disciple, Su Feiyu, six times combat strengthâŠâ
âTruth Embrace SectâŠâ
âNether Spring Devil SectâŠâ
âViolet Thistle Mountainâs Bai ClanâŠâ
This jade slip listed out row after row of names with extreme detail, and they were either top disciples of the 10 great immortal sects or famous experts within the Devil Sects. Moreover, there was no lack of fierce figures from the clans from the primeval times and various sects that lived in seclusion from the world.
A rough count actually put them at a few thousand people, and every single one of them was at least at the Nether Transformation Realm!
This was only the list of experts that had come to Icesky City lately, and along with the passage of time, there would surely be even more experts arriving from all over.
Of course, there was only a small group of people on the list that were worthy of Chen Xi paying attention to. Moreover, this group of people were labelled with extreme care by An Wei.
But when he counted them carefully, they were only a few tens of people, and their names practically appeared at the front of the list. For example, the Heavenflow Dao Sectâs Yan Shisan and Leng Chanâer, the Truth Embrace Sectâs Daoist Crimson Sun, the Six Desire Devil Sectâs Su Feiyu, the Nether Spring Devil Sectâs Qiu Jun, and so on and so forth.
Similarly, Chen Xi had noticed Shang Que and Feng Jianbai, two familiar names on the list, and both of them were figures that he intended to eliminate.
Shang Que went without saying, whereas, Feng Jianbai was the disciple of the Feng Clan whoâd once gone against him in the Primeval Battlefield, and their conflict ran extremely deep to the point of being irreconcilable. Presently, Feng Jianbai had joined the Heartcontrol Swordhouse.
To Chen Xiâs disappointment, he didnât notice Zhen Liuqing, Fan Yunlan, Zhao Qinghe, Ling Yu, and the others on this list. But he came to an understanding with a quick thought. All of these people had joined sects that possessed an extremely ancient inheritance that was only greater than the 10 great immortal sects and six great devil sects. Moreover, these sects hadnât appeared in the world for an extremely long time. So it could be considered to be normal that they didnât make an appearance here.
Thereâre actually so many experts joining the ranks of exploring the Dark Parasolâs Abyss, so the competition would probably become exceedingly horrifying. I wonder where the Chaotic Divine Crystal the tiny cauldron wants is. It would be bad if someone beats me to it⊠Chen Xi put away the jade slip and couldnât help but have a slightly heavy feeling in his heart, and then his gaze looked towards the Icesoul Divine Tree behind him before becoming lost in thought.
At this moment, the tiny cauldron ought to be in that independent space subduing the strand of soul of the Dark Parasol Divine Tree within the bronze coffin, right?
