Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1485 Heading to Qingming Mountain

Meanwhile, Lu Chen continued to stroll leisurely through the streets. He seemed to be full of interest in everything around him, stopping from time to time in front of some stalls to carefully observe the rare and precious items displayed there.

He always wore a relaxed smile, as if he was completely unaware that he was in danger.

However, Gu Nanqiao's subordinate was, after all, a powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm, and his keen perception quickly detected the clues.

He noticed that Lu Chen's figure would occasionally flicker unnaturally. Although the change was extremely subtle, it still did not escape his eyes.

So the old man decided to stop hiding his whereabouts and voluntarily show himself in the bustling city.

Just as Lu Chen stopped in front of a small stall filled with various magical treasures and divine herbs, the old man suddenly made his move.

With a swift movement, he approached Lu Chen like a ghost, and a withered hand suddenly reached out to grab Lu Chen, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to see the action.

This claw contained boundless power, as if it could tear everything in front of it apart.

The surrounding crowd was startled by this sudden action and retreated, letting out gasps of surprise.

However, the next moment, something unexpected happened. Lu Chen's body suddenly became transparent and eventually disappeared completely, leaving only a faintly glowing talisman floating on the ground.

It turned out that Lu Chen already knew someone was tracking him, so he used the avatar talisman to create a false image to confuse the enemy.

Upon seeing this, the old man's face instantly turned ashen, his anger overflowing.

"Damn it? It was an external avatar talisman!" He gritted his teeth and growled, realizing he had been tricked.

In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from his body, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this power.

Immediately afterwards, his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light, and quickly disappeared from the spot, speeding towards the outside of the canyon.

He knew that the boy named Lu Chen must be using this opportunity to escape. Although he didn't know where Lu Chen was, the woman who had been hiding in the shadows earlier must know.

As a powerful expert in the Dao Integration Realm, he naturally noticed the woman outside the Wanbao Pavilion, but he simply ignored her. Now it seems that the woman is definitely related to Lu Chen, no wonder she flew out of the canyon earlier.

Before long, the old man had flown to mid-air outside Phantom Canyon. He formed a series of complex hand seals with his hands, a smug smile on his face.

As he unleashed his secret technique, ripples spread through the air, as if the entire space was making way for him.

Without hesitation, he chased after it in the northeast direction, moving so fast that he disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen used the power of the Great Dao's origin, "I am earth," to conceal his figure deep underground. After leaving the Phantom Canyon, he did not linger but instead sped towards the Azure Nether Mountains in the northeast at top speed.

Hao Yun once told him that during his travels, he discovered a place called Xuanbing Pool deep in the Qingming Mountains, which perfectly matched the characteristics of a land of heavy water.

Lu Chen thought to himself, "If we can find the Xuanbing Pool, we might be able to unlock the secret of 'Mount Buzhou'."

As Lu Chen continued to fly through the air, he found that the surrounding space was becoming increasingly unstable. The once calm airflow became turbulent, as if an invisible hand was stirring up this world.

Each time he tried to gain altitude, he felt a strong resistance pulling him down; the surrounding air seemed to turn into a viscous gel, tightly enveloping his body. This was accompanied by spatial rifts and spatial vortexes.

Realizing that the high altitude was no longer safe, Lu Chen decided to lower his flight altitude. As he gradually approached the ground, until he was less than ten meters away from it, he finally felt that the space was slightly more stable.

However, such low-altitude flight not only limited his speed, but also required him to be constantly vigilant against attacks from celestial beasts.

"This Divine Realm is truly fraught with danger. Why bother repairing such a dilapidated world? It would be much better to just release the Golden Pearl World and let these cultivators cultivate there," Lu Chen thought to himself.

Despite his doubts and dissatisfaction, Lu Chen decided to continue on his way.

So he carefully controlled the altitude and speed of the flight while vigilantly observing the changes around him.

A day later, Lu Chen frowned slightly. He noticed a large group of cultivators, about a hundred in number, flying in a single direction in the distance.

The figures of these cultivators were faintly visible in the sunlight; they were flying at an extremely high speed, clearly eager to reach a certain destination.

This scene gave Lu Chen a bad feeling: "Could I be that unlucky? Are they also heading towards the heavy water area?"

Lu Chen knew that even in the God Realm, resource competition was commonplace. Especially for precious resources like the Buzhou Mountain Secret Realm, once the news leaked, it would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of countless people.

If these people are truly coming for the same goal, then the competition that follows will inevitably become exceptionally fierce, which is, of course, the last thing Lu Chen wants to see.

However, Lu Chen soon noticed that individual cultivators would occasionally arrive from other directions and gather at the back of the group.

Judging from their clothing, these later cultivators should not belong to those sects that operated in large groups.

"Could those be rogue cultivators? If so, wouldn't I be able to infiltrate their ranks as well?"

With this idea in mind, Lu Chen weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally sped up to follow them. No matter what their purpose was, he decided to follow them and find out.

As Lu Chen had predicted, his joining didn't attract much attention.

However, Lu Chen was secretly observing these cultivators. Judging from their auras, most of them were below the Transformation Realm, with only four cultivators possessing powerful auras who should be at the Integration Realm.

This reassured Lu Chen somewhat, at least he still had some ability to protect himself.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at a mountain range with towering peaks stretching for thousands of miles, shrouded in thick fog.

Since everyone was flying at a low altitude, they could easily feel the rich spiritual energy in the mountains, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants could be seen everywhere.

Before long, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, as if the entire space was exerting some kind of invisible pressure on them.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, bringing a faint chill. Lu Chen's heart stirred, and he looked up in the direction everyone was looking.

However, what they saw next sent a jolt through them...
