"However, Morning Star Tier Professionals can slaughter in all directions even within the Nether Realm. Only unless they encounter a special situation like the Lost Starfire would they end up with the outco of Body Dead, Dao Dissipated."
Su Chen was quite hesitant. His Main Body was only a 6th-Tier Class-User. Although he could match a 7th-Tier in strength, towards the vast, boundless, and unpredictably eerie Nether Realm, it actually couldn't be considered much.
His flesh body also entering the Nether Realm might not necessarily be called a good thing for him.
Su Chen weighed it slightly inwardly, deciding to try one or two more tis.
Next, he entered the Nether Realm several tis and returned to reality, carefully comprehending the differences compared to before.
After going back and forth five or six tis, he had a certain estimation: "Whether it's entering the Nether Realm or escaping the Nether Realm, the ti has been extended by 2 to 3 tis compared to originally."
Originally, the ti to enter and escape wasn't considered too long. Even if extended, not much difference could be felt.
"But if it reaches a critical juncture, this bit of ti will very likely lead to thoroughly being unable to return."
Su Chen's eyes flickered. "However, I also won't run far away. If I'm a bit careful, there shouldn't be any problems."
Being prepared for danger in tis of peace was a rit, but there was also no need to be Baseless Anxiety.
"Furthermore, this kind of state isn't without its benefits either. At least the strength that can be brought out will be at Peak Condition even within the Nether Realm." Su Chen's thoughts turned. Those Nether Realm Creatures were basically all Spiritual Entities, naturally lacking flesh bodies.
Previously, Spiritual Entity against Spiritual Entity, he perhaps couldn't hold too much of an advantage. Now, adding on a flesh body, his advantage beca much greater.
"Moreover, the path those Nether Realm Creatures walk isn't the Profession route either. Who knows, I might even be able to arm-wrestle with the Centipede Dragon now..." As Su Chen thought this, the grayish-white land spread out beneath his feet. He entered the Nether Realm once more. Mist seeped out from cracks in the ground in threads, hazy like wet gauze.
He swept a glance left and right. Confirming the general direction, he then headed towards that Stygian Stone Mine.
"Where is everyone?"
Arriving at the mine vein, Su Chen couldn't help but be astonished. The mountain body bobbed in the fog. Because there was no Nether Realm Creature activity, the fog was so thick he could only see jagged rock shadows. Previously during the Dark Sun Period, a massive batch of Nether Realm Creatures would gather here, but now, it was completely empty.
"Could it be because of the Starfire?"
A Slight Stir in One's Heart. Su Chen raised his head for a look. Using this Primal Vein as an anchor point, he headed in the southeast direction.
Whenever the Radiant Sun Period arrived, the Centipede Dragon would take the Nether Realm Creatures under him and withdraw. Su Chen didn't know exactly where their old lair was, only having roughly estimated the direction.
"A flesh body can naturally conceal the Aura of an Outland Spirit, and it's a perfect concealnt. Under this kind of situation, I instead don't need to worry about being discovered by powerful Nether Realm Creatures."
As Su Chen swept across the Nether Realm land, he quickly realized another benefit of Spirit-Flesh Unity. Although the consumption had increased quite a bit, it was indeed much more convenient in other aspects. He could also use multiple Professional Abilities for enhancent.
With a slight shift of his mind, the tallic Warboots reinforced to the 6th-Tier surfaced and rged into his body. His speed instantly increased by more than a notch. And thanks to the Wind Chaser Dancer's ability, the high-speed tearing wind currents automatically parted around his body.
He almost couldn't feel wind resistance, passing by like Flowing Shadows, flashing past fleetly.
Quickly, he faintly heard a burst of familiar wolf howls transmitting from the Nether Mist. It was probably Little Black sensing his approach.
"Little Black can sense my arrival every ti, yet I can't confirm its position..." Su Chen mumbled secretly. "Or is it because I haven't found a reasonable thod?"
"However, every ti I deactivate Mimicry, that Believer who worships the Black Buddha should also be in a vanished state, but the Black Buddha never has any Suspicion every ti."
"Could it be that he also can't confirm the concrete situation of his Believers?"
Su Chen mumbled secretly. On the way, he had already switched into the state of the High Priest of the Faceless Ghost. Descending in the form of a flesh body, the Aura of the Evil God seed even denser.
Before he even drew close, large batches of low-intelligence Nether Realm Creatures had already fled in terror.
THUD!
Su Chen landed, fog surging. Before his eyes was a stretch of jagged mountain peaks, the highest point no more than five or six hundred ters. The rock cross-sections looked as if cleaved by swords and hacked by axes.
"It's you?"
Seeing Little Black's reaction, the Centipede Dragon knew that High Priest of the Faceless Ghost had co.
Rumble, rumble!
The massive body flexibly shuttled over from amidst the jagged mountain peaks, the scales on the surface of its body rubbing against the mountain rocks to produce a roaring sound.
Its head hanging before Su Chen, the Centipede Dragon's grayish-white pupils contracted. It felt that so sort of unpredictable change had occurred on the body of this High Priest of the Faceless Ghost before its eyes.
It even transmitted a faint sense of threat from his body. In the past, it had never perceived this kind of feeling from the other party's body.
Furthermore, it could almost sll none of the scent of an Outland Spirit from the other party's body. If not for Little Black excitedly running circles around the other party, it might not even be able to confirm if the High Priest of the Faceless Ghost before its eyes and the previous one were the sa person.
"You seem to have beco sowhat different." The Centipede Dragon's voice was muffled, its massive body coiling around Su Chen.
Seeing the Centipede Dragon's reaction, Su Chen's heart settled slightly. His entire body dissipated a certain transparent substance, wrapping around his whole body. Entering the Nether Realm with a flesh body could also be considered a certain characteristic, inevitably having the possibility of spawning unexpected complications.
He used the Divine Power of the Faceless Ghost to conceal it. It looked like the effect was quite good.
Su Chen turned a deaf ear to these words, instead asking: "Why didn't you go to the mine vein today?"
The Centipede Dragon restrained the doubts in its heart, unavoidably gaining a bit more dread towards this High Priest of the Faceless Ghost before its eyes. Its voice was like rolling boulders and booming thunder:
"An unforeseen event occurred with the Starfire in the sky. The extinguishing ti was actually delayed by quite a while. I was afraid there would be other situations occurring, so I temporarily wasn't prepared to go to the mine vein again."
The Centipede Dragon raised its head to glance at the extinguished Starfire in the Firmant. The changes in this Starfire had been going on for over a hundred years. It had been playing tug-of-war here for several decades as well, yet this kind of change had never appeared before.
It didn't dare to go another step further. In the One in Ten Thousand chance this Starfire suddenly reignited, within that Bronze Sect, there were quite a few people who could do it to death.
This Centipede Dragon was actually vigilant. Su Chen understood inwardly, but his tone sounded very light: "No need to worry."
"What, do you know what unforeseen event occurred?" Hearing the aning hidden within this High Priest of the Faceless Ghost's words, the Centipede Dragon couldn't help but ask.
Su Chen nodded. "Yeah, the state of this Starfire is currently improving. However, there shouldn't be any more changes in the short term."
"Are you certain?"
The Centipede Dragon was sowhat astonished. It wasn't completely ignorant of the Reality World either. Ever since being entrapped and hard by a sche from a Great Eldritch God, this Bronze Sect could be said to detest Evil Gods bitterly, killing one whenever they saw one.
It had been many years since it encountered an Evil God Cultist in this vicinity who used the Nether Realm to perform Ritual Sacrifices or other thods. This guy before its eyes was the first.
And this guy could actually even scout out relevant information regarding the Starfire's abnormal changes.
"My Lord's mighty power is omnipotent."
Su Chen rarely brought up "My Lord," but the Centipede Dragon actually didn't suspect anything. Instead, it was Deeply Convinced, unavoidably saying: "The Faceless God is indeed worthy of being a Great Eldritch God of the Nether Realm."
Su Chen closely followed up, saying: "There is another matter. I prepare to have Little Black take a few more Nether Realm Creatures into the Primal Vein. My recent need for Nether Realm Stones is sowhat high."
The Centipede Dragon pondered slightly. Nether Realm Stones were a precious Material in the Reality World. In the Nether Realm, they existed as high-tier food for Nether Realm Creatures.
If it were in the past, it might not necessarily have agreed. For every portion of Nether Realm Stones excavated, the power contained within its mine vein lessened by a fraction.
However... It glanced at the Starfire above its head again. It was unknown when this thing would thoroughly improve. Adding on the changes on this High Priest of the Faceless Ghost's body...
The Centipede Dragon didn't hesitate for too long before agreeing: "No problem. Dig as much as you want. I estimate we won't be staying here for too long either."
Hearing this Centipede Dragon's impassioned tone, Su Chen couldn't help but mumble: "This Nether Realm mine, roughly how much is left?"
"I am unaware of the detection thods of Outland Spirits. But with your thod of digging, I estimate it will quickly be hollowed out." The Centipede Dragon swept a glance at him, saying: "We do not individually extract a certain Nether Realm Stone from the mine vein. The mine vein can gradually recover by gathering Nether Mist, but for every piece you dig away, there is one piece less."
"Alright then." Su Chen thought about it. These Nether Realm Creatures were engaging in sustainable developnt, while he was Draining the Pond to Catch the Fish.
This thing was a mine vein within the sect's controlled region after all. For him to hollow it out seed a bit not quite right...
But once the Starfire was thoroughly restored, this bit of Nether Realm Stones wouldn't be considered much anyway. Furthermore, a portion of what I dig out is also handed over to the sect.
Quickly, Su Chen wiped away the slight sense of guilt in his heart, turning to ask: "Then once this Starfire restores, do you have other places to go?"
The Centipede Dragon shook its body. Rolling rocks fell to the ground with rustling sounds, emitting muffled noises. Its voice was deep and rich: "The Nether Realm is vast. There are many locations with special Materials similar to Nether Realm Stones. However, they are all occupied by so powerful Nether Realm Creatures and will not be easily shared."
"I'll search again when the ti cos."
Su Chen looked thoughtful, not saying much more.
After confirming the news from him, the Centipede Dragon also lost quite a bit of misgivings, leading its subordinates to head for that mine vein once again.
Little Black picked out over a dozen Nether Realm Creatures in succession to follow it into the mine vein, completely filling up every branch tunnel and beginning to dig madly.
Confirming that things were on the right track here, Su Chen then left. Like usual, he arrived at the edge of the Starfire to wait.
The Starfire reignited. The bright area spread over, stopping not far in front of him.
"The distance I gauged is just right..." Su Chen grinned. Carving symbols into the ground, he attempted to pray to the Black Buddha. The duration of the prayer this ti was sowhat long.
It was a full ten minutes later that a slight bit of black fog dissipated from the Vertical Eye Emblem beneath his feet, wreathing his surroundings.
"It's you, ah."
This ti, the Black Buddha's voice no longer bood by his ears like normal. Instead, it was distant and ethereal, seemingly transmitting from extrely far away.
'The other party has already entered the Reality World?'
Su Chen speculated. Before he could express a Believer's respect, he heard the Black Buddha ask: "Do you have any latest news?"
'Looks like he hasn't discovered my anomaly either.'
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The second layer of testing for this Spirit-Flesh Unity was precisely facing the Black Buddha.
Even having used a portion of high-tier Divine Power of the Faceless Ghost to create "Hidden Fog" that could conceal his own existence, Su Chen also had a bit of worry. But looking at it now, the effect seed quite good.
He hurriedly responded: "Temporarily I do not have any news. I rely wanted to ask when you will arrive, so that I may make further arrangents."
Hearing this, the Black Buddha pondered slightly and responded: "Probably around two months or so."
'Two months... what remote place is this guy coming from?'
Su Chen was sowhat astonished. He hurriedly laid the groundwork: "A while ago, a figure of great importance within the Bronze Sect suddenly died, suspected to be related to Evil Gods."
"Recently, the Bronze Sect's inspections are extrely strict. I might not be able to go welco you. I can only dispatch soone to perform the handover, and must ask for your forgiveness."
"No matter." The Black Buddha didn't mind. Towards Believers who were absolutely loyal to them and had extrely strong capability to handle affairs, Evil Gods held trendous tolerance.
He went a step further, saying: "My disguised identity is the head of the Dark Moon Group, nad Zhao Cheng. When the ti cos, just have your subordinate co seek directly."
'He just told his disguised identity like this?'
Su Chen was sowhat stunned. He had originally prepared so pretexts, ready to do so Beating Around the Bush. He hadn't expected this Great Eldritch God to be truly candid.
Dark Moon Group, Zhao Cheng.
He morized this na, continuing to lay the groundwork: "In order to eliminate the possibility of your identity being discovered, I will utilize an ordinary person to go perform the handover."
"Mm." The Black Buddha was quite satisfied. And just as Su Chen was preparing to end the exchange...
He heard the Black Buddha ask again: "It is said that Su Chen has advanced to a Sixth-Rank Professional, and moreover defeated a Star Seed within the Bronze Sect, taking second place on the Holy List and triggering no small sensation."
'The speed this news spreads is too fast.'
Su Chen's heart was speechless. It had only been about half a day since this matter passed. Yet the Black Buddha, who still had over two months of travel distance to the Bronze Sect, had actually also received the news.
In this interstellar era, news truly had no delay whatsoever.
He rapidly responded: "I indeed know of this matter. However, I am still thinking of ways to inquire about the concrete details, so I hadn't explained it to you."
The Black Buddha didn't mind, rely asking: "Su Chen, is it possible he is the person Zhou Yunyang wanted to tell us about?"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. The Black Buddha still associated it with him. This was not good news.
In the One in Ten Thousand chance the Black Buddha wanted to probe him first, rather than learning the news from Zhou Yunyang's mouth, that would be bad.
It wasn't that this possibility didn't exist. If Su Chen and the person Purifying Mist Cinders were the sa person, then the Black Buddha could save a portion of the Heart of Spiritual Light.
Hearing the Black Buddha's suspicion, Su Chen didn't respond at the first mont. As if pondering for a mont, he then said: "To not hide it from you, I also produced this thought previously, and even probed Zhou Yunyang a bit. But according to my deduction, I am sixty to seventy percent certain they are not the sa person."
"Not the sa person?" The Black Buddha seed sowhat surprised. "Then who could it possibly be?"
The Black Buddha's voice was erratic and drifting, seemingly asking him, yet also seemingly not asking him.
Su Chen waited with Bated Breath. He was borrowing the Black Buddha's absolute trust in his own Believers to attempt to interfere with the other party's judgent.
No matter what, at the very least he had to wait until this na, Qin Tianlin, could reasonably and logically be sent to his ears, and the Heart of Spiritual Light thoroughly reached his hands, before talking further.
"Ah well. I am afraid this Heart of Spiritual Light must be sent out." The Black Buddha's voice gradually drifted away and scattered.
Su Chen hurriedly said: "It is my incompetence."
Before the words had fallen, the Black Buddha's connection with him had already severed. He hurriedly wiped away the black vertical eye beneath his feet.
