CHAPTER 555: CHAPTER 440: DIVINE SKILL: AVATAR TECHNIQUE!_3

"Not simple."

Chen Jichuan grew increasingly cautious in his heart.

Hundreds of cultivators at the Peak of Divinity Transformation are insignificant in front of a One-Pattern Immortal, who could annihilate them with ease. However, the battle formation composed by these hundred people is no weaker than an ordinary One-Pattern or Second-Pattern Immortal, which shows that high-level cultivators here are not invincible.

If thousands of immortals were to form such a battle formation, they might even be able to contend with Fourth Realm Venerables and Immortal Venerables.

"Battle formation."

Chen Jichuan noted this down in his heart.

He had seen battle formations before, but most were overly complex and weak, inferior to magical skills and divine skills, so he hadn’t paid them much attention. However, looking at this now, its potential is considerable and worthy of investigation. Perhaps in the future, he could delve into them a little.

While pondering this.

A black wind swept past but then circled back, landing before Chen Jichuan.

The black wind dissipated, revealing a hundred cultivators of Divinity Transformation, each clad in battle armor and wielding weapons. Among them stood a massive hundred-limbed beast.

[Name: Hundred-clawed Flame Worm]

[Level: Fourth-order]

[Description: A special life form from the Hanging Mirror Sea, innately possessing divine skills with the ability to manipulate fire. Its flesh can be used to refine Fourth-order Pills, and its hide can be forged into Fourth-order Magic Treasures.]

...

"An exotic beast comparable to immortals."

Chen Jichuan glanced at it and understood instantly.

Meanwhile.

The hundred soldiers had clearly gone through a fierce battle, having slain this ’Hundred-clawed Flame Worm,’ but seemingly suffered no losses.

"Who are you?"

"Why have you intruded into the ’Shuofeng Desert’?"

The leader among them fixed his sharp gaze on Chen Jichuan and questioned sternly.

"Greetings, generals."

Seeing they hadn’t attacked immediately, Chen Jichuan’s mind stirred. He replied, "I am but a wandering Daoist traversing the Chaos Mysterious Realm. I somehow suddenly ended up in this domain and had no intention of intruding upon your prestigious territory. I beg your pardon, generals."

"Chaos Mysterious Realm?"

The leading Black Armor Commander heard this, his face easing slightly, and his attitude softened considerably. "So you’re a cultivator from the ’Tianmang Realm’."

"A cultivator from a Small World!"

Another Black Armor soldier reacted even more amicably, immediately exclaiming, "I have a friend who also comes from the ’Tianmang Realm,’ his home being ’Canghui Moon Sea.’ Could I ask which part of the ’Tianmang Realm’ you hail from?"

"I have trained since childhood at ’Panlong Mountain’ and have never heard of ’Tianmang Realm’ or ’Canghui Moon Sea.’

Chen Jichuan shook his head.

Those words were indeed truthful.

What Tianmang Realm.

What Canghui Moon Sea.

He had never heard of them.

But he could roughly deduce that the ’Tianmang Realm’ referred to the mysterious realm where Panlong Mountain was located, and ’Canghui Moon Sea’ was likely a region in this mysterious realm similar to Panlong Mountain.

"Haha!"

"That’s normal. Daoist, training in the ’Tianmang Realm,’ it’s completely ordinary for you to be unfamiliar with this upon arriving in the ’Hanging Mirror Sea.’"

The Black Armor soldier was quite friendly as he laughed and introduced, "This is Ekong Country, Tianmang Ancient City, Shuofeng Domain. We are part of the sixth battalion of the twelve stationed battalions under the Domain Lord’s command. I am ’Zheng Jun,’ and this is our captain, ’Yus Can.’ Daoist, you must feel out of sorts, having just arrived in the ’Hanging Mirror Sea.’ We’re on our way back to Shuofeng City for a break; Daoist, why not join us?"

Zheng Jun was quite enthusiastic.

Though the others didn’t voice their opinions, quite a few smiled and nodded at Chen Jichuan in greeting.

Even the captain, ’Yus Can,’ didn’t oppose the idea.

"Then..."

"Then I humbly accept the offer."

Given Chen Jichuan’s many avatars, he was unafraid of any potential schemes. Pretending to ponder briefly, he agreed.

"Wonderful!"

"Once we’re back in Shuofeng City, my friend ’Lei Xin’ will undoubtedly be delighted to meet you."

This ’Lei Xin’ appeared to be the friend Zheng Jun had mentioned earlier, hailing from Canghui Moon Sea in the Tianmang Realm.
