Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 718 - : Changing Heaven and Earth

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Changing Heaven and Earth

The wilderness was vast, and the vegetation was sparse and silent.

As the sun set during twilight, a plump ground mouse cautiously poked its head out of its burrow, sniffing the air with its nose to determine if there were any threats nearby.

Suddenly, it sensed something and immediately retracted its head in alert.

However, the next moment, the thick layer of earth suddenly rose, forcibly lifting the ground mouse’s hiding place.

Deprived of its shelter, the ground mouse could not help but let out a terrified squeal. It leapt three feet into the air and, upon landing, scurried away at top speed.

At that moment, a figure burst forth from the ground.

...

It was Wang Chen!

Having been digging underground for five days, Wang Chen, who had just returned to the surface, appeared somewhat disheveled. His clothes were caked with dried mud, and he was covered from head to toe in dirt.

He looked around warily, making sure there was no one else nearby before finally letting out a huge sigh of relief.

At last, he was safe!

The harrowing experience he had just lived through was something Wang Chen would likely never forget in his lifetime.

Even though he was now at the peak of Purple Mansion cultivation, just one step away from Solidifying Pill, needing only two more rare treasures to make the attempt to break through to a higher tier.

Yet, Wang Chen still felt how feeble he was in this vast world!

Simply walking down the road, someone could catch him off guard and impose a restriction, throwing him into the battlefield as cannon fodder.

This time, Wang Chen had luckily escaped.

But what about next time?

Nobody could guarantee that he would always be so fortunate!

The desire to become stronger once again filled Wang Chen’s heart.

He calmed his emotions and then took out the Nine States Geomantic Chart from his Sumeru Ring to confirm his location.

With the help of this Spiritual Artifact, Wang Chen found that he was northwest of Yongle Immortal City.

About one hundred and fifty li away.

For the past five days, he had been digging thirty li on average each day, breaking his previous record.

In fact, two days ago, Wang Chen no longer perceived any disturbances from above ground.

He guessed that he had moved away from the battlefield, or perhaps the battle for the Immortal City had ended.

But he didn’t dare to take any risks, so he continued to dig.

Past experiences had taught Wang Chen that when facing danger, no amount of caution could ever be wrong!

He put away the Geomantic Chart, then changed into clean clothes, and also altered his appearance.

In an instant, he became an ordinary Primary Tier Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator.

Although he did not know the current situation in Yongle Immortal City, Wang Chen had no interest in finding out. Whether the Mount-Shifting Sect had won or lost had nothing to do with him.

His destination was still Thousand Star Immortal City.

But this time, learning from his past lesson, he did not travel by Sword Flight.

Sword Flight was fast, but it made one too easy to detect. If there were still Flying Warships of the Mount-Shifting Sect in the nearby area, that would be really bad!

A burnt child dreads the fire, and this time Wang Chen preferred to travel on foot rather than repeat the same mistake.

However, the unexpected always happens when it’s least anticipated!

Wang Chen had just run about a hundred li when he was intercepted by a group of Cultivators.

They were not from the Mount-Shifting Sect; the team of five consisted of both Qi Cultivation and Purple Mansion members, each with fiendish looks in their eyes.

They were the kind of bandits made up of Loose Cultivators and Sin Cultivators!

“Hand over your Storage Bag, and you shall be spared!”

The bandit leader was a Mid-Tier Purple Mansion, with an aura fluctuating between the fifth and sixth layer. His face was skinny and dark, his eyes fierce, looking as if he wanted to devour Wang Chen alive.

The other four, in a tacit understanding, spread out to form a tight circle around Wang Chen.

Wang Chen silently raised his right hand.

“Suppress!”

An almost Golden Core-level Dharma Domain suddenly unfolded, enveloping everyone nearby within its bounds.

The mid-tier Purple Mansion cultivator was struck as if by lightning, his eyes wide and his soul nearly leaping out in shock.

He hastily stepped back, crying out, “Misunderstanding, this is…”

But Wang Chen’s oppressive might had already descended!

Ten breaths later, there were four more corpses on the ground.

The mid-tier Purple Mansion cultivator had not died.

It wasn’t that this bandit leader was particularly strong, but that Wang Chen had intentionally left him alive for questioning.

“Really, it’s really just a misunderstanding!”

The bandit leader’s spirit had collapsed, kneeling on the ground and trembling, “True Person above, this lowly cultivator is willing to serve as an ox or a horse in atonement, only begging you to spare a path of life.”

He had obviously mistaken Wang Chen for a Golden Core True Person, and the sadness in his heart was truly indescribable.

To have robbed a True Person, he deserved this calamity!

In response to the bandit leader’s pleas, Wang Chen did not express approval or disapproval but simply asked, “Do you know the current situation in Yongle Immortal City?”

“Yongle Immortal City?”

The bandit leader was startled, then carefully watched Wang Chen’s expression before answering, “There’s no more Yongle Immortal City now.”

The Yongle Immortal City of the past was now a place where different banners flew atop its walls, signifying a new order!

Five days ago, the Mount-Shifting Sect suddenly mobilized a large force to attack Yongle Immortal City, even using one of the ancient divine woods, the Fusang Wood, to confront the Dragon Turtle, Bi Xi.

After three days and nights of fierce battle, Bi Xi breached Yongle Immortal City’s City Protecting Great Array and suppressed the Dragon Turtle.

In this battle for the Immortal City, Yongle lost two True Immortals, and the Mount-Shifting Sect also had a Nascent Soul perish in battle, a truly tragic affair.

As for Golden Core and Purple Mansion cultivators below the Nascent Soul, it was unknown how many perished.

This bandit leader was hundreds of miles away at the time and saw blood clouds boiling and grievance soaring toward the direction of Yongle Immortal City!

He didn’t dare approach.

Only yesterday had he learned that the Mount-Shifting Sect had conquered Yongle Immortal City and renamed it Fangshan Immortal City.

The ceremony to establish the new rulership will take place in three days!

The news has already spread far and wide, and nearby Loose Cultivators all knew of the situation.

It was said that the Mount-Shifting Sect has announced they will open their doors wide to recruit talented individuals. Anyone with Purple Mansion cultivation or an exceptional Root Bone could apply for Fangshan Immortal Register and even join the Sect!

The original Yongle Immortal City consisted of multiple Immortal Cultivation Noble Clans, but now these families had either perished, fled, or surrendered. The new Fangshan Immortal City would be dominated solely by the Mount-Shifting Sect.

The Mount-Shifting Sect also planned to raise the rank of Fangshan Immortal City after completely subduing the Dragon Turtle.

From Profound Level to Earth Level!

This was by no means a simple task since it involves many aspects. The first criteria for an Earth Level Immortal City is to have the personal presence of a Divine Transformation True Monarch.

But for the vast majority of Loose Cultivators, this represented an excellent opportunity for advancement.

This bandit leader also wanted to obtain Fangshan Immortal Register, but being financially embarrassed, thought to rally a few destitute brothers to pull off several heists, eventually presenting themselves with great style to the Sect.

He never imagined that the first step of such a perfect plan would be thwarted by the uncooperative Wang Chen!

“I understand.”

Wang Chen nodded, acknowledging the difficulties faced by the other party.

To ensure that he could live more at ease and steadily, Wang Chen swept off his head with a single sword strike.

Now it was completely silent!
