Chen Lin did not approach the black spot rashly, but took out a crow puppet and controlled it to investigate the situation.
Then his face lit up with joy.
This black spot turned out to be a small island, and the scenery on the island was nice.
After commanding the crow puppet to patrol around and making sure there was no danger, he urged the spirit boat to the edge of the island.
The island is not big, but there are many unknown species of trees and even flowers growing on it. Chen Lin took a look and found that many plants there contained energy fluctuations, which are natural treasures!
The several islands encountered along the way were all extremely desolate, only this one was relatively good. Chen Lin decided to stay here for a while and determine the location.
If we sail blindly, it would be funny if we end up back at Tianyuan Continent.
Over the next few days, he used this small island as his base and went out to explore the sea every day.
After some exploration, he actually discovered two desolate islands. Unfortunately, after comparison, he found that his location was not on the nautical charts in his hands.
There was no other way, Chen Lin could only mark the three islands on the nautical chart he drew, and then opened up a simple cave on the island and began to practice.
This retreat lasts for one month.
Only after completely digesting the accumulation of this period of time did he walk out of the cave.
Then he collected all the valuable things on the island, and after carefully comparing them with the spiritual medicine illustrations, he found that there were several kinds of spiritual herbs that could be used to refine foundation-building pills, and there was even a kind of spiritual herb that could be used to refine golden elixir pills, which made him very happy.
As long as these things are brought to the cultivation world, they can be sold for a good price, which can make up for the spirit stones he consumed during the voyage these days.
It was a rare moment of calmness. There were still a lot of Qingshuang Pills and Luobitan in his hand. Then Chen Lin entered the state of cultivation again.
Three months passed in a flash.
One day, a hearty laugh came from the cave, and Chen Lin walked out in high spirits.
After this period of full-hearted practice, with the help of elixirs, he finally raised his cultivation to the second level of foundation building!
About four years have passed since the foundation-building period. This speed is a bit slow. The foundation-building period is the same as the Qi-training period, with three small realms and nine levels. If it takes so much time to break through each level, it will take him more than forty years to reach the perfect foundation.
This is the case when he has no shortage of elixirs. If he were an ordinary cultivator, he wouldn't have so many elixirs to waste.
However, this is not entirely due to his qualifications. The main reason is that he has never had a rest since he established his foundation. Apart from avoiding danger, he has been looking for ways to leave the Tianyuan Continent. He has no time to practice in peace.
Things should be much better in the future.
Chen Lin sensed the surging magic power in his body and surprisingly felt that the cultivation environment in the distant sea was very good. If he could find enough natural treasures to refine pills, he would not even want to go ashore.
After walking on the island for a while, he took out the spirit boat and felt the effect of activating the second level of foundation building.
But soon, the spirit boat flew back quickly, and Chen Lin on it had a look of surprise and doubt on his face.
He landed on the island, took out the map he had drawn and observed it over and over again.
"That's right, it's the direction just now. Why is the island gone?"
After putting the map away, Chen Lin urged the spirit boat to fly towards the second island he had discovered earlier.
Soon, his figure returned again, with an even more confused look on his face.
Both islands are gone!
Chen Lin frowned, feeling that something was really strange. He couldn't stay here any longer and had to leave quickly.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he suddenly felt the strong wind above his head becoming more violent, and the roar of thunder and lightning became louder and louder. A huge vortex was formed in an instant, emitting a terrifying pressure!
Before he could react, he felt the island under his feet suddenly shake, and then it began to shake violently. The ground rose rapidly, and large chunks of it cracked and fell into the sea.
Chen Lin was horrified and suddenly seemed to remember something. He jumped up in horror, desperately urging the flying boat to flee in panic without looking back.
This is not an island at all. It is most likely the back of some large sea beast. It is not that the two islands have disappeared, but this "island" has been moving. After such a long time, it may have drifted far away!
The changes in the wind and clouds above are so similar to the tribulation of a cultivator. This sea beast might be going through a tribulation!
Chen Lin felt a chill down his spine at the thought that he was actually shrouded in a heavenly calamity, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't completely avoid it.
Before he could escape from the coverage of the heavenly calamity, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket blasted towards the "island", and at the same time, another bolt of lightning as thick as an arm came straight towards him!
Why are you blasting me? It’s not me who’s going through the tribulation!
Chen Lin cursed inwardly and stopped running away. Instead, he threw a silver talisman above his head.
The thunder has the ability to track and is not something that can be avoided easily. One can only resist it. Fortunately, he had prepared some treasures to resist the thunder in order to withstand the small realm tribulation that might occur to him, so he was not helpless.
The silver talisman exploded instantly after being thrown out, forming a silver light curtain that blocked the lightning.
But it only caused the lightning to pause for a moment before it pierced through and fell straight towards Chen Lin.
However, taking advantage of this gap, Chen Lin took out another set of formation flags and quickly unfolded them, forming a small formation above his head that was specifically used to weaken the thunder tribulation.
As soon as the formation was formed, the thunder struck.
Chen Lin's face flashed with joy.
This formation was worthy of the two Foundation Establishment Pills he had exchanged for. It was indeed very effective. Although it did not completely block the thunder tribulation, it weakened it by more than half. The remaining part could probably be withstood by the flesh and blood!
Even if he couldn't hold on, he had no chance to use other means. After the remaining thunder broke through the formation, it hit directly on his head!
When the thunder entered his body, Chen Lin knew that he had been careless.
Even though it had been weakened by more than half, its power was still extremely overbearing. Even though his physical strength was comparable to that of an ordinary magic weapon, his meridians were still instantly broken by the explosion, and his internal organs were covered with cracks, and were still being destroyed.
In addition to the damage to his body, his soul was also greatly shaken and he almost fainted.
Enduring the severe pain, Chen Lin took out the two pill bottles, poured all the pills inside into his mouth, and then frantically practiced his skills to fight against the raging thunder and lightning in his body.
At the same time, he was also distracted by controlling the spirit boat and continued sailing away.
The first crack almost made him collapse, and if it happened again, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
At the same time, he was secretly shocked. What level of heavenly calamity was this? He could only endure such a small amount and it was so painful. How could the sea beast resist a giant thing as thick as a bucket
Moreover, this thunder did not strike only once. In such a short period of time, he heard three loud noises, but none of them targeted him as he was not the target.
When the fourth loud noise came from the sea beast, Chen Lin finally escaped from the coverage of the heavenly calamity. He lay exhausted on the spirit boat, secretly thanking that he had saved his life.
However, at this time he had reached the end of his strength and could no longer drive the spirit boat. He could only let the spirit boat drift on its own. He then focused all his attention on fighting the remaining thunder and lightning power in his body.
This thunderbolt was indeed different from ordinary lightning. It was endless. As soon as one ray was extinguished, another one would immediately appear. Chen Lin had to take healing medicine continuously to repair his constantly damaged flesh and blood tissue.
But with his hard work, the thunder was gradually eliminated, and Chen Lin was surprised to find that after being cleansed by the thunder, the spirit of thunder in his body showed signs of fusion again. He hurriedly practiced the Art of Gold and Fire to refine it.
Soon, the spirit of Lei Xing was completely refined, and a mysterious feeling emerged, as if an illusory organ had grown in the body.
With a thought, all the remaining power of thunder and lightning in the body was absorbed into this organ.
But before Chen Lin could be happy, he felt a terrifying aura appearing from a distance, and it was heading straight here. He was horrified and had no time to think about anything else. He immediately put away his spirit boat and sank into the water.
As soon as his body sank, the terrifying wave reached above his head. However, this terrifying existence did not pay any attention to him, a small minion, but went straight to the sea beast that was undergoing the tribulation!
Obviously, some other powerful monsters discovered that the sea beast on the island was undergoing a tribulation and came to take advantage of the situation to rob it.
Chen Lin had no illusions that these two powerful monsters would both suffer losses, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to gain an advantage. After his body sank to a certain depth, he used the breath-concealing technique to the extreme and quickly escaped to a distance.
I didn't know how far I had escaped until my body couldn't bear it anymore and I slowly surfaced.
After taking out the spirit boat and getting on it, he sat on it with a satisfied look on his face, breathing heavily.
The aura of these two sea beasts is much stronger than that of a Jindan cultivator, and the power of that heavenly tribulation is definitely not an ordinary thunder tribulation that occurs when a monster breaks through the third level. It is very likely to be a fourth-level transformation thunder tribulation!
The transformed monster is said to be equivalent to the human Yuanying Zhenjun. If it succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, it will become a dominant force. If it runs to the Tianyuan Continent, almost no one can stop it.
However, that terrifying aura came out to disrupt the situation in the end, and it is estimated that the sea beasts on the island have little hope of successfully surviving the calamity.
Chen Lin lost his way again.
After floating on the back of the giant beast for three months, he had long been cut off from his previous route. Now it was impossible for him to return along the original route.
Moreover, he didn't feel that this place was safe. It was probably because of the presence of those two powerful guys in this sea area that other monsters didn't dare to approach, so it was so quiet.
Facts proved that Chen Lin's guess was correct. In the following days, he was attacked by sea beasts one after another. He was in danger several times, which forced him to keep the spirit boat's defense shield open, and the spirit stones were consumed rapidly.
More than two months passed like this, and just when he was getting anxious and thinking that he would be doomed sooner or later if he continued like this, his luck finally changed.
A huge ship like a battleship suddenly appeared in his sight!
