Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 884: Chapter 884 New World (Part 1)

Returned to Nameless Valley, Wang Chen reviewed the battle of the Golden Cores with Lu Hongye in the Underwater Cave Abode.

Undoubtedly, he was at an absolute disadvantage in this duel, utterly unable to withstand Lu Hongye’s high-order Golden Core cultivation level face-to-face. The disparity in their strength was immense.

This made Wang Chen acutely aware that, despite having a first grade Golden Core, he still couldn’t bridge the gap in their realms.

Lu Hongye was not only extremely strong in his cultivation but also very experienced in combat, with decisive and crafty moves.

If Wang Chen had not, at a critical moment, used a life-saving magical treasure to severely injure his opponent, he might very well have become a prisoner.

However, Wang Chen had only that one such treasure, and after using it, it was gone.

In fact, had his cultivation been just two or three levels higher, unleashing stronger power from that treasure, finishing off Lu Hongye wouldn’t be a problem.

That way, not only could he have avenged the surprise attack, but he would also have gained a handsome reward!

Unfortunately…

Wang Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists.

This perilous predicament certainly served as a cold shower, making him realize his strength was far from sufficient in Haotian Realm. Let alone reaching Nascent Soul to Divine Transformation, even as Golden Core True Person there were plenty who could crush him!

Thus, Wang Chen knew he had to continue lying low, not venture out recklessly again, and persist in diligent and tough cultivation.

After making up his mind, Wang Chen then entered a secret chamber.

As usual, he took all the Spirit Stones he had acquired from selling Spiritual Artifacts and materials and threw them all into the Sacrificial Basin.

There were no surprises; all the Spirit Stones were completely devoured, not leaving even a fragment behind.

Just as Wang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly had an impulse and threw a Yin Qi Pearl into it.

During the past few days, while hunting around Lingyou City, he had killed a large number of Evil Beasts and, besides materials, he had obtained quite a few Yin Qi Pearls.

Clang!

Once the Yin Qi Pearl fell into the basin, it instantly emitted a crisp, pleasant ringing sound.

This valuable pearl burst silently, blossoming into a bright silver-white light.

But such splendor lasted only momentarily. The ancient bronze Sacrificial Basin, like a never-satiated Gluttonous Beast, gaped its massive maw and swallowed it whole!

Huh?

A moment later, Wang Chen received feedback in his Sea of Consciousness from the Transmission Array.

The energy supplied by the Yin Qi Pearl to the Transmission Array turned out to be equivalent to hundreds of Middle Spirits, which amounted to tens of thousands of Low Spirits!

Originally, Wang Chen had planned to keep these Yin Qi Pearls for forging Spiritual Artifacts, even Magical Treasures, but discovering this, he decisively pulled out a handful more and threw them all into the Sacrificial Basin.

Eat, devour them ferociously for me!

This hidden Transmission Array in the Underwater Cave Abode had already become a tiger Wang Chen was riding; stepping off was not impossible, but that would mean all previously invested efforts would be in vain.

To fully recover and command this Transmission Array, he could only grit his teeth and continue investing.

Like in his previous life when getting married, after buying the house, the car, paying the dowry, and giving the betrothal gifts, could he shirk the change-of-address fee, the red packet money, or the banquet fee?

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Yin Qi Pearls were thrown down.

The information in Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness continued to grow, and the resulting Dharma Technique became increasingly refined.

At this point, Wang Chen didn’t want to stop.

Resolutely, he took out the last pearl, which was also the largest one.

He smashed it!

At this moment, Wang Chen was almost like a gambler blinded by lust for victory.

Of course, the odds were gambling on nine losses out of ten, and the only question for Wang Chen was how much to invest, not the possibility of losing everything.

Buzz~

Suddendly, the Sacrificial Basin trembled violently and emitted a strange buzzing sound.

It didn’t swallow the Third Order Yin Qi Pearl immediately, but instead, it spun, holding it aloft and drawing streams of Yin Qi into the engraved runes at its base.

The fist-sized Yin Qi Pearl visibly shrunk at a speed detectable by the naked eye, and a mysterious aura emanated from the Sacrificial Basin, filling the secret chamber.

Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness continuously replenished the control Dharma technique.

Not until the Yin Qi Pearl completely disappeared did a glittering Taoist Jue fully present itself in Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Wang Chen almost instantly comprehended the mysteries of this Dharma technique, and with a wave of his hand, the Sacrificial Basin immediately sunk into the ground.

A stone slab flipped up, filling the empty space left behind.

Next, the runes engraved on the ground lit up one by one, reflecting the Taoist Jue in Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

From that moment, the secrets of this Transmission Array were completely revealed to him!

It took about the time of a stick of incense for Wang Chen to digest what he had realized.

The result truly exceeded his expectations!

This secret chamber’s Transmission Array was also part of the Cave Mansion Array, a clever setup of an array within an array, revealing the impressive skills of the Cave Mansion’s former master.

Wang Chen originally thought that the Transmission Array’s destination was an extremely distant place, possibly an Immortal City or another Cave Mansion millions of miles away.

It was definitely a means of escape left by the previous master of the Cave Mansion, which, due to use and the passage of time, now required a significant amount of Spirit Stone energy to restore.

Now Wang Chen could confirm that the Transmission Array had indeed been activated before.

But it did not lead to an Immortal City or Cave Mansion in the Haotian Realm, but rather to another world!

This was actually a Teleportation Array to the Lower Realm!!

Realms upon realms, boundless and endless, over tens of thousands of years, the Power Men of the Haotian Realm explored and conquered many Lower Realms, leveraging their resources to supplement their own, all the while repaying the cosmic karma they owed.

However, exploring Lower Realms was extremely difficult, and the secrets were held by a very few powerful cultivators and forces; ordinary Cultivators hardly had access to them, often merely serving as expendable foot soldiers.

Previously, Wang Chen had explored the Foggy Mountain Realm for the Fox Empress, narrowly escaping disaster therein.

And a domain treasure like the Questioning World Bell, its preciousness can be imagined!

Wang Chen had once read in a Taoist Canon that to undergo the transition from Breaking the Golden Core to Condensing the Nascent Soul, it was best to possess one’s own Cave Heaven Secret Realm, then use it to enhance one’s Cultivation Level, and establish a supreme Taoist Foundation.

Without a Cave Heaven Secret Realm, it was still possible to transition from Breaking the Golden Core to Condensing the Nascent Soul, but the chances of success were not only low; such a Nascent Soul, like a castle in the air, would have a shaky foundation, with no chance of achieving Divinity Transformation and Integration!

He, having reached the First Grade of Golden Cores, attempting this transition without a Cave Heaven Secret Realm would be a sheer waste of natural gifts.

And to want a Cave Heaven Secret Realm, one must possess a Treasure of Cave Heaven, which itself was an exceedingly rare item.

Wang Chen planned to spend ten years enhancing his Cultivation Level while searching for the Treasure of Cave Heaven, then to open a Secret Realm to achieve the transition.

Never had he expected to acquire a Teleportation Array to the Lower Realm.

Great world, small world, Cave Heaven Secret Realm, Blessed Land Mansion!

Compared to a Cave Heaven Secret Realm, a small world was not just a tier higher; it was sufficient for Breaking the Golden Core and Condensing the Nascent Soul, even for Integration of the Nascent Soul, and possibly even reaching Mahayana.

Without a doubt, Wang Chen had stumbled upon an incredible bargain this time.

One should know that such a Transmission Array was possessed only by the top Major Sects, and its value was immeasurable!
