Chen Lin controlled the Mo Yin Lingzhou and sailed for several days before arriving at an area of strong winds and thunderstorms.
The thunderstorms here were much stronger than those in the sea areas of Tianyuan Continent, and were closer to the sea surface. However, he practiced thunder-attributed skills, and was like a fish in water in this environment.
The task of controlling the spirit boat was given to Xu Baixian and the other two, while he was responsible for vigilance while continuing to comprehend the skills and consolidate his cultivation.
This trip to the Falling Star Continent can be said to be fruitful. Apart from anything else, the Immortal Stones on this ship alone are worth a fortune. Xu Baixian and the other two at the bow were already grinning from ear to ear.
After Chen Lin agreed to transport the things back, he would give half of the ordinary fairy stones to the three people, and the remaining half and the giant one would belong to him.
Even though the Immortal Stones were collected by the other three, transported to the seaside by them, and escorted back together, if he was not in charge, the three of them would never dare to sail so blatantly, and could only carry some in packages each and fly back.
Even if they divided it in half, there would be more than a thousand yuan, more than three hundred yuan per person, which is much more than they could carry on their own.
According to the task reward given by Master Wan Meng, it is enough for them to purchase the resources to reach the Golden Core Stage!
In addition to the Immortal Stone, Chen Lin also harvested the Ten Thousand Year Fruit Spirit, a giant sword, a mysterious animal bone, and six petals.
Each one is a rare treasure.
Needless to say, the Wannian Fruit Spirit is a rare high-level fire-attributed spiritual object, and it contains the special energy of the Bone-Erosion Fruit. It cannot be said to be unique, but it is definitely rare.
Although the giant sword of the man in silver armor is only a broken spiritual treasure, the fragments are complete. After being put together, it can still exert a certain spiritual treasure power, which is much stronger than a fake spiritual treasure.
If I leave this world in the future and meet a powerful weapon refiner, it is not impossible to repair it again.
As for the animal bones, although they are mysterious, they are not spiritual treasures. No one knows what kind of bones they are that can withstand the power of the broken spiritual treasures.
However, judging from the battle between the Black Withered King and the silver-armored man, the animal bones are still slightly inferior to the silver-armored man's giant sword. Moreover, the Black Withered King is a demon, and it is hard to say whether the things he uses are suitable for cultivators.
Although Chen Lin was itching to do something, now was not the time to check it out, lest he be sensed by the owner of the treasure and caught up. It would not be too late to study it when he arrived at the Starry Continent.
What made him feel most regretful was the flower. Before he could get any benefit from it, it was exploded by the man from Yunhai.
Although he finally got six of the seven petals, he was unable to condense the ball of light.
Chen Lin had a feeling that the petal that the man from Yunhai took away was the most important, otherwise the other party would not have blown up the flower and only taken away that petal, ignoring the others.
Moreover, purple is one of the two kinds of light that the Tenghuawu family has never stimulated.
Obviously, the people of Yunhai knew the efficacy of this flower, and also knew how to approach and pick it, knowing more than the Tenghuawu family.
Chen Lin suspected that this flower might be the Lingyu flower that the other party had been looking for!
He had met the other party several times. This person was looking for three items: Fish Demon Grass, Fairy Stone, and Lingyu Flower. Now he appeared in the Falling Star Continent again, and was deliberately trying to snatch the flower. It was hard not to make associations.
However, this person is elusive and it is hard to tell where he will go this time. There is no chance to ask him for clarification. I can only wait until I return to the Starry Continent and then slowly find out the information about this flower.
Chen Lin was thinking about things in his mind while consolidating his cultivation. In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Mo Yin's spiritual boat was very fast. In less than half a month, it had sailed thousands of miles away.
This was because we were delayed due to several attacks by sea beasts along the way, otherwise we could have gone even faster.
Because the spirit boat is not like an ordinary ship, there is no need to worry about running aground on reefs. As long as spirit stones are spared, no reef can stop it once the shield is opened.
If you encounter an island, just take off. No need to make detours, just go in a straight line.
If the thunderstorm layer had not been too low, Chen Lin would have simply let the spirit boat continue flying.
A few days passed like this, and after passing a larger island, the spirit boat entered the deepest part of the sea.
The thunderstorm here was extremely violent, attacking anything that emitted energy fluctuations. The shield outside the spirit boat was shaking, causing Xu Baixian and the other two to turn pale.
"Senior, our route seems to have deviated from the route we took. Should we return to the previous island and sail in a different direction?"
Seeing that the thunderstorm was getting more and more violent, Xu Baixian walked up to Chen Lin and asked for instructions with concern.
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "No need. We don't have a detailed sea chart, and we can't fly high to check the situation. Even if we turn back, we may not be able to find the island, and it will be easy to get lost. Let's just keep moving forward!"
After saying that, he took out a formation plate.
After some operations, a defensive formation was set up on the spirit boat to stabilize the shield of the spirit boat.
Seeing this scene, Xu Baixian and the other two felt relieved and continued to control the spirit boat forward.
However, they soon discovered that the thunderstorm was not only getting more and more violent, but also began to rotate and flow, causing the water on the surface to rotate and roll as well. It took a lot of effort to keep the bow moving forward.
"Stop sailing, we seem to have entered some bad place."
Chen Lin came to the bow and spoke with a serious expression.
The three of them had intended this and immediately controlled the spirit boat to stop. However, driven by the swirling waves, it was unable to stop. The spirit boat was like a leaf, constantly spinning and rising and falling on the sea.
"Senior, there is an unknown energy interference here, and the guidance talisman has lost its effect!"
Han Zuxuan, who was in charge of positioning the direction, suddenly exclaimed.
Chen Lin frowned.
Although the compass can only determine the approximate direction, it allows them to keep moving towards the Starry Continent. Without the compass, they will not be able to determine their location and may very likely sail in the opposite direction.
"Just choose a random direction to sail in. It should be fine as long as we can get away from here."
Chen Lin didn't have any good solution. He had lived on land all year round and had no experience in sailing.
However, as long as we leave this abnormal area, the guidance symbol should return to normal, and it will not be too late to re-determine the direction at that time.
"Don't bother, I think this is a good place for you to be buried!"
Just when the spirit boat was stabilized and was about to set off, a cold voice suddenly appeared.
Just the sound was enough to make several people's souls tremble and their bodies stiffen.
Chen Lin was horrified and quickly activated his soul power. The silver light particles took effect and cleared away the discomfort.
Then he slapped his storage bag, took out the basalt shield and held it in front of him, checking the situation vigilantly.
"Hey, he really has some skills. No wonder he was able to snatch the things from that black withered man."
The cold voice sounded again.
Then a ball of black mist slowly emerged from the sea and condensed into a human figure.
As soon as the figure appeared, without any attacking movement, the shield and defense formation outside the spirit boat collapsed.
Xu Baixian and the other two were even more unbearable and collapsed directly in the cabin, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Chen Lin also felt an extremely strong pressure, but it was mainly aimed at his soul and did not cause any harm to him.
After hearing what the other party said, he also understood where the other party was coming from.
He had always been worried that the two treasures he stole might be tracked down, so not only did he use a large number of sealing talismans, he also immediately left the Falling Star Continent. He thought that everything would be fine after so long, but he didn't expect that he would still be caught up.
And judging from the other party's appearance, he is not a normal cultivator at all, but more like some kind of demon.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin didn't waste time talking to the other party and directly used the Soul-Destroying Finger!
If you steal someone's things and they come to your door to retaliate, there is no room for reconciliation.
Although it was King Black Wither who tried to kill him first, the world of cultivation is not a place for reason.
The energy released by the Soul-Destroying Finger was extremely fast. As soon as the finger pointed out, a faint silver light fell on the black shadow.
The black shadow trembled suddenly and its face twisted, as if it was in great pain, but it recovered in an instant.
"So it's the Soul-Destroying Finger. Has this inheritance been passed down? I really miss it!"
The black shadow muttered to himself, as if he was thinking of something worth remembering.
Then he looked at Chen Lin and said, "But ordinary Soul-Destroying Finger can't hurt me. Your soul power seems to be in the stage of upgrading. It's quite interesting. There are not many people who can do this in this low-level interface!"
Chen Lin swallowed.
The opponent used his soul body to take his Soul-Destroying Finger, but he only trembled slightly. His strength is simply unfathomable!
Moreover, the other party also knows the Soul-Destroying Finger. In this case, his strongest method of dealing with souls might be ineffective.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin pointed out again.
Then, without even looking at the results, he used the Thunder Escape Technique and escaped into the thunderstorm layer above.
The enemy was too powerful, and he didn't care about Xu Baixian and the other two. He just hoped that the other party was afraid of the fierce thunderstorm here and dared not chase him.
"Haha, don't struggle with the little trick of withering insects!"
The black shadow's voice was still cold. With a slight wave of his hand, Chen Lin's Thunder Escape Technique was interrupted and he fell from a high altitude.
Immediately afterwards, the black shadow flicked his finger and a stream of black gas shot directly towards Chen Lin's body.
Feeling a sense of danger that made his hair stand on end, Chen Lin hurriedly activated the spirit of the Black Tortoise Shield, and the shield instantly enlarged and emitted a fluorescent light.
The black gas hit the shield, causing it to tremble, but it was immediately extinguished by the fluorescent light above.
"Defense spiritual treasure, still intact?"
The shadow made a surprised sound again.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to have such a treasure. It's a surprise to me. Then I will grant you an intact corpse!"
The black shadow's body suddenly swelled, and then a black spear appeared in his hand, and he spoke to Chen Lin murderously.
Chen Lin's face was gloomy. He pointed out the Soul-Destroying Finger again, then opened his mouth and the Thunder Sword turned into a beam of lightning and shot out, hitting the opponent in the face.
Then he raised his hand again, threw out a dozen high-level talismans, and finally launched a five-thunder strike!
He used all the means he could and then used the Thunder Escape Technique again to escape.
The opponent's strength is far beyond his ability to resist. He can only use the thunderstorm environment here to escape. As long as he enters the thunderstorm layer, there is a glimmer of hope!
"I said it's no use!"
The black shadow swung its spear and knocked Chen Lin's Thunder Sword away. It directly resisted the Five Thunders and Soul-Destroying Finger, then grabbed Chen Lin from a distance, and Chen Lin's Thunder Escape Technique was interrupted again.
This time he didn't say anything, but shook the spear and stabbed at Chen Lin!
The attack was so powerful that even the surrounding seawater was moved up, and tiny space cracks were created in the void, as if gods and demons had descended to the world, making it impossible for people to resist.
Chen Lin felt the call of death, his eyes widened, he shouted loudly, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the basalt shield.
The shield shone brightly, and the shadow of Xuanwu appeared, emitting a low roar.
The conflicts did not cause any earth-shattering noise, but rather occurred silently.
There was only one black spot radiating outward from the intersection of the spear and the shield.
It was first the size of a fist, then became the size of a washbasin, and finally turned into a black hole as big as a millstone!
This black hole seemed to have infinite suction power, sucking in the surrounding sea water and the strong winds and thunderstorms above, forming a huge vortex in an instant.
Chen Lin was closest to the black hole and had no ability to resist at all, so he was sucked in first.
The black shadow, who had been indifferent all along, suddenly changed his expression and turned into a ball of black mist and tried to escape, but it was useless as he was mercilessly pulled into the black hole.
