Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Primitive Island_1
Xiao Chen emerged from the depths of the palm forest, gazing at the endless ocean, imagining the terrifying scene of that colossal creature intimidating everything in the water. This truly was a matchless ferocious beast indeed!
After a night of recuperation, Xiao Chen felt considerably better. As long as he refrained from intense activities, he was largely unobstructed. Standing on the beach, facing the morning sun, he began to collect the essence of Heaven and Earth, practicing the mysterious patterns outlined on the ancient stone tablet, rendering him as immovable as a pine tree.
The soft morning light spilled onto Xiao Chen. His breathing was long and steady, and barely visible tiny thin lines of glowing light infused his skin, joyfully coursing through his body.
Xiao Chen had an innate talent for cultivation, having practiced the mysterious and unfathomable Qi Refining Diagram from a young age. A grand sacred palace had already begun to slowly open its doors to him!
The sun was just rising, and the morning glow was lightly dotted.
With his breathing as his rhythm, Xiao Chen guided the golden morning light into his body every time he inhaled. He let it pass through his flesh and blood and infiltrate his organs and bones, causing every inch of his body to surge with a golden glow. Then, when exhaling, the impure essence in his organs, bones, and flesh was expelled through his skin.
His flesh and blood were being constantly purified and improved by the purest energy, his physique was changing day after day, year after year.
The essence of cultivation is to continuously break the shackles of the human body, realizing continuous metamorphosis and sublimation. Xiao Chen firmly believed that sooner or later, he would be like those figures who shook the ages, breaking the barrier between life and death, stepping into the legendary realm of immortality!
After the morning tide receded, the beach was left with shells, shrimps, crabs, sea urchins, and some jumping fish, making Xiao Chen's breakfast extremely abundant. Flames danced beside the palm forest, above it was a basin-sized shell, the coconut juice inside had been boiled, and the seafood had already exuded an alluring aroma.
After enjoying a rich breakfast, Xiao Chen decided to explore the nearby terrain and environment to find a temporary place to rest.
Across the palm forest was a denser forest. It was lush and vibrant, with rich vegetation including sky-reaching trees, white sandalwood, yellow paulownia, olives, palm trees, rubber trees, etc. The ancient sky-reaching trees blocked the sky and the sun.
This was a habitat for sea birds. When Xiao Chen entered this area, countless birds were startled and flew out from the dense forest. Thousands of sea birds were soaring in the forest and the sky, and the bird feathers fluttered down like confetti from the sky.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of bird droppings, bird nests were everywhere on branches and the ground, bird eggs were seen everywhere, and many chicks were waiting to be fed, countless adult sea birds were constantly circling and crying in alarm.
Only after he had walked far into the dense forest did it slowly return to tranquility.
Three or four miles further into the forest, Xiao Chen entered the primitive old forest area. Millennium-old trees crisscrossed with roots, century-old vines tangled around it, making it a tiger's den, where ferocious beasts lurk.
"Roar..."
A fierce saber-toothed tiger roared and rushed at Xiao Chen with its sharp, gleaming teeth. He twisted and kicked, forcefully swept his right leg, knocking the tiger to the ground.
Just at that moment, another beast roared from not far away. A two-headed violent ape charged over, its large demonic stature, dark hair, and hideous heads looked especially terrifying.
Xiao Chen didn't want to tangle with these bizarre barbarian beasts, he quickly turned and dashed into the forest, while the saber-toothed tiger took on the two-headed violent ape.
"Roar..."
The roar of the tiger suddenly stopped. Xiao Chen glanced back in haste, witnessing a bloody scene, the two-headed violent ape had actually torn the saber-toothed tiger apart, its large body covered in dark hair was sprayed with blood.
Xiao Chen hurried away swiftly, he became more cautious, avoiding various bizarre barbarian beasts, not wanting to confront them directly.
Not much further ahead, Xiao Chen saw many legendary divine ferocious beasts, and he saw many bloody scenes. He saw a winged divine leopard shred two giant elephants; a huge single-horned python swallow three fierce tigers...
Walking in the endless primitive forest, Xiao Chen often saw fragments of bones, some belonged to tigers, lions, elephants, and there were many unidentified giant skeletons, seven to eight meters, even over ten meters long broken skeletons hidden in the grass, appeared extremely horrifying.
"Roar..."
A huge roar suddenly erupted from deep within the mountains, the sound vibrating to one's core; it pierce through metal and split stones, shooting straight into the clouds! It startled all the beasts causing chaos deep in the mountains.
Xiao Chen was also left trembling, blood rushing in his ears, his eardrums were on the verge of rupture.
Was this what a legendary dragon's roar was like?!
This roar was incomparable to that of the ancient ferocious beast, Evil Octopus Dragon! It was hard to imagine what kind of beast it was.
Xiao Chen was secretly surprised. Around the perimeter of the island, he had already discovered two ferocious creatures, making this island incredibly mysterious. Now that he was not fully recovered, he did not dare to risk venturing further and began to return along the same path.
In the end, Xiao Chen found a suitable place to recuperate on the outskirts of the island. It was only two or three miles from the beach, close to the habitat of the Evil Octopus Dragon, which deterred ordinary beasts from daring to approach easily.
A stream like a jade belt gushed gently, collecting in the forest to form a small lake, clear and transparent like a sapphire. Tall, dense trees surrounded the small lake, shielding it from the scorching sun, casting large areas of shade.
There was a tangled mess of vines around the small lake, and blooming clusters of unknown flowers brightened the scenery. The layered fragrance of flowers coupled with the beautiful chirping of birds made it a great place to live.
In addition, there were many fruit trees nearby, not only tall coconut trees, but also shorter pineapples, lemons, lychees, and so on. The branches were laden with fruit, exuding a sweet aroma that filled the forest and was very tempting.
Xiao Chen discovered a bamboo grove not far away. Without aggravating his injuries, he carefully manipulated his Yuan Qi to chop down rows of bamboo with a stone ax and brought them back, then gathered some flexible vines.
By the sapphire-like small lake, Xiao Chen erected a bamboo house, set up a bamboo bed inside, the residence was full of the fragrance of grass and wood, feeling very elegant and comfortable.
One must admit that the weather at sea is unpredictable. Come afternoon, the clear sky was suddenly obscured. Dark clouds rushed in swiftly from all directions.
"Rumble"
Underneath the rolling black clouds, the island was filled with flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. Heavy rain was pouring down. Xiao Chen was grateful to have built the bamboo house in time. Looking at the curtain of rain outside the window, his thoughts soared.
Ever since entering the World of Longevity, he had been thinking about those legendary figures who had gained eternal fame in the Human World after shattering the void. Would he ever get to see them one day?
Dugu Qiubai, with a sword in hand he looked down upon the world, swept across the landscape, no one could resist him...
Li Xunhuan, Little Li's Flying Dagger, never missed a target, the dagger shattered the void...
Shi Feixuan, bones made of divine jade, a peerless beauty, a proud fairy...
Wun Wun, wisdom as impressive as Central Earth World, agile like a spirit...
Pang Ban, an unparalleled demon king, planting demons in his Dao heart, feared throughout eternity...
Waves Turning Cloud, the extreme of emotion and sword, using love to wield the sword, gaining enlightenment through the sword...
...
These names that shook the ages, one by one, emerged in Xiao Chen's mind. Since they are already immortal in heaven and earth, he believed that if there was a chance, he might really meet them. This was not a distant and unattainable dream!
