Chapter 407
As Chen Xuan and his group rapidly approached the mysterious island that was faintly visible at the edge of their field of vision.
More and more enormous creatures are appearing on the sea surface below.
Several flying fish even took advantage of the height of the waves to repeatedly attempt to leap into the air and attack Chen Xuan and the others.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "If a being had obtained such power through normal cultivation, it would definitely feel our aura when it sees us, and therefore would not dare to approach us."
"And now what do you see?"
Chen Xuan looked at the flying fish soaring high in the sky, trying to tear them apart, and said, "Because they have absorbed too much violent spiritual energy, their nature has been taken over by bloodlust. Faced with the aura on our bodies, they just instinctively want to devour us."
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Wang Ye and the others turned pale.
After careful observation, this is indeed the case.
Logically speaking, they were all experts with profound cultivation. Before Jiang Linglong met Chen Xuan, she could sense the aura of a high-ranking Taoist or monk from afar and would then avoid them.
But now?
Everyone felt extremely heavy-hearted upon seeing this situation.
Keep in mind that this is only the early stage of the spiritual energy revival, and the spiritual energy has only affected marine life. Moreover, the advancement of marine life is still in its early stages. As the spiritual energy revival continues, just how powerful will the oceans become?
"In the future, marine life will inevitably replace terrestrial life."
Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking straight ahead.
"Master, look at the strange shape of this island."
As the group got closer to the island, Bai Li had no choice but to increase her altitude.
As Bai Li got closer, she was astonished to discover that the island was already more than 300 meters above sea level.
In order to get a full view of this mysterious island, Bai Li directly raised the altitude to 1,000 meters.
From a thousand meters above the ground, looking down, the entire outline of the island comes into view.
“This, this island looks like a kind of plant from the mainland…” Wang Ye scratched his head, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Everyone on the black dragon's back except Chen Xuan was looking at Wang Ye.
"Like a stone lotus flower slowly blooming."
A strange light flickered in Chen Xuan's eyes.
As Chen Xuan finished speaking, his gaze began to travel along the perimeter of the island, plunging directly into the inky black water.
Unfortunately, even with his Heavenly Eye activated, Chen Xuan still couldn't see the seabed directly in this area.
"Master, shall we go ashore?"
As they were talking, Bai Li's enormous body had already entered the airspace above the island.
However, at that moment, Bai Li trembled, as if she had been instantly locked onto by some kind of aura.
Although she was thousands of meters in the air, Bai Li felt as if she were sinking into a quagmire, and at the same time, a strong attraction was constantly pulling her down.
Bai Li's tone changed instantly, becoming somewhat fearful and anxious.
"Owner."
Chen Xuan patted Bai Li's dragon head to reassure her.
"Since we're already here, let's go down and see what's going on."
Chen Xuan looked down at the entire island, while mentally comparing the contents of the "General Outline of Formation Refinement".
After comparing, Chen Xuan shook his head. There was no structure that matched the content, so it shouldn't be some kind of formation or similar method.
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Xuan's words reassured Bai Li, who was in a panic, and she immediately swooped down.
In just a few breaths.
Led by Bai Li, the group was able to see the lush vegetation on the island. The towering trees were hundreds of meters tall, and the trees were connected by thick vines.
Meanwhile, at the center of the island, there is a reservoir. The color of the water in the reservoir is quite different from that of the seawater; in fact, the water in the reservoir shows a clear distinction between light red and light blue.
woohoo-
When they were a hundred meters from the island, Chen Xuan and the others jumped down.
Bai Li also transformed into a black bracelet and wrapped it around Chen Xuan's wrist.
After the group landed.
They immediately looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
Chen Xuan also frowned slightly.
"Master, the spiritual energy here is so rich! It feels just as good as Feixian Temple." Jiang Linglong had already been told by Chen Xuan that she was not allowed to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation after leaving Longxia.
However, the spiritual energy here is different from the violent spiritual energy rising from the sea surface; the spiritual energy here only contains a small amount of violent attributes.
After hearing Jiang Linglong's words, Wang Ye and the others also tried to refine it.
Sure enough, the spiritual energy here is only one level less abundant than that within a hundred miles of Feixian Temple.
"Chi chi chi——"
Just as the group was carefully examining the spiritual energy, some unidentifiable creatures peeked out from the bushes among the towering trees, curiously watching Chen Xuan and his companions.
"The animals here are not like the fish in the sea before, who only know how to kill. Instead, they instinctively fear us after feeling our pressure."
After analyzing the situation, Chen Xuan became even more puzzled.
Could it be that during the period of violent spiritual energy resurgence, a pure land will be born on Earth?
Just as Chen Xuan was pondering this question...
Bai Li seemed to smell a deadly scent, and it instantly transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the bushes not far ahead.
"Be careful," Zhang Lingyu hurriedly warned upon seeing this.
Chen Xuan looked towards the spot where Bai Li had disappeared.
"Master, look what this is!"
When Bai Li returned, she had already transformed into human form, holding a green fruit with snake-like scales in her hand.
"Snake scale fruit?"
Chen Xuan didn't recognize the name of the fruit, but Lu Xueqi was the first to recognize it.
Everyone's eyes were now fixed on Lu Xueqi, who looked like a celestial being descended to earth.
"Xueqi, do you know what this is?" Bai Li asked Lu Xueqi excitedly. "In the early stages of my cultivation, I spent many years cultivating in the deep mountains and marshes. I have eaten countless rare and precious herbs, and I have even eaten a Vermilion Fruit, but none of them are as attractive to me as this Serpent Scale Fruit."
Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, "When I was helping my master organize ancient books on incantation techniques, I saw this fruit in an ancient parchment book. At that time, I even asked my master why this fruit had snake scales."
Lu Xueqi recalled, "At that time, I remember my master said that he had never seen it either, but he had heard his grandmaster say that wherever the snake scale fruit appears, it is bound to be a place of great evil where all living beings perish."
“But this place…” Lu Xueqi said, looking around warily, then sensing the dense spiritual energy permeating the area, “doesn’t seem like a place of great evil where all living beings perish.”
After the cause and effect take hold.
Chen Xuan also directly deduced the cause and effect based on the Daoist Master Zhishun's words.
Just a few seconds later, Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked incredulously at the center of the island, a place completely surrounded by towering vegetation.
"What a wonder! This place truly possesses the extraordinary power of nature!"
