Chapter 1844 Raw 1855 : Treasure Bow God Shadow
Chapter 1844 (Raw 1855): Treasure Bow God Shadow
After inheriting the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s will, Xiao Suo was essentially the ruler within the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s physical body.
He could easily do many things that were inconceivable to normal people.
For example, moving out all those Sovereign Personages with two snaps of his fingers.
With a thought, the Black Cutlass carried everyone and appeared on the blazing sea of blood.
The difficult problem that plagued Xiao Chen and the little monk was resolved that simply.
“This is really miraculous. We came out just like that.”
The little monk, who was at the bow, stared at the boundless and endlessly burning blazing sea of blood, feeling incredibly moved.
“Boom!”
Flaming scarlet waves parted about five thousand kilometers in front. Then, a majestic scarlet pirate ship emitting a strong pressure broke through the waves, riding the winds.
“The Scarlet Blood Warship!”
The crew of the Black Cutlass immediately felt extremely excited.
However, when the Scarlet Blood Warship approached, they discovered that this ship was already incredibly decrepit. It was old and looked like it had just experienced a huge battle.
It had already been tens of thousands of years, but it looked like it still had not had time to rest and reorganize.
When Xiao Chen saw it clearly, he said, “It’s still pretty good. The hull is still intact, and the formations are not broken. It only needs some restoration. If you received a legendary warship so suddenly, you probably would not be able to take it.”
Xiao Suo nodded. “It seems that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King purposely arranged for it to be so before he died. It does not matter; it is not bad already. The foundation is there. With sufficient resources, it will become a legendary warship again sooner or later.”
Xiao Chen sighed. After a long time, he said, “It is time to part. You all can remain in closed-door cultivation here. There are still many fortuitous encounters in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body, so you will definitely benefit greatly.”
Xiao Suo knew what Xiao Chen meant. From the moment the Black Cutlass completely demonized, it was no longer suitable for the crew to remain on it.
“Big Brother, thank you,” Xiao Suo said extremely seriously as he looked at Xiao Chen. For a moment, he did not know what else to say.
Xiao Chen smiled casually and said, “Don’t be so polite with me. It’s settled, then.”
“Then, Big Brother, what about you? Are you going into closed-door cultivation here?”
“There’s no need. I understood the most important thing here and broke through the mental barrier in my heart. My previous way of thinking was really wrong. I have already wasted too much time and cannot delay anymore. I need to go to the place that I want to go to.”
“Take care.”
Xiao Suo did not try to keep Xiao Chen. He called out, and everyone on the Black Cutlass all came over to say goodbye to Xiao Chen.
After parting this time, who knew when they would meet again?
Luo Nan and Fei`er—the little couple—Elder Tang and the Iron Hand Yama were sadder than everyone else.
“Big Brother Xiao Chen, take care. Fei`er will miss you.”
Fei`er was still the same as before. Every time they parted, she was all teary.
However, Luo Nan was rather calm. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Big Brother Xiao, although I do not know what you are going to do, Luo Nan can sense that Big Brother Xiao’s trip will not be easy.”
Xiao Chen felt quite satisfied at having friends to send him off at a moment of parting.
“Goodbye!” Xiao Chen said with a cupped-fist salute. He also felt somewhat reluctant. He did not know when they could meet again.
Xiao Suo held the Scarlet Blood War Banner as he stood on the Scarlet Blood Warship and waved hard.
Then, an irresistible force sent the Black Cutlass out.
This was because Xiao Chen instructed Xiao Suo to send him as far away as possible, so that he could avoid meeting the people of the three great Demonic Dao sects.
When the Black Cutlass reappeared, he did not know which sea region he was in.
Xiao Chen looked at the little monk beside him and said, “Now, it is just the two of us again.”
“Hehe! Speaking of which, Big Brother, are you going to the Central Great Realm?”
“Yes.”
“Where exactly? The Central Great Realm is incredibly vast. There are the four dynasties, the eight empires, the many races, and many other uninhabited areas. It is simply too vast.”
“The Dragon Race.”
“In that case, it would be the Divine Dragon Empire. It’s a good place, but I have not been there before and am not very familiar with it.”
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. This little monk before him was from the Central Great Realm. He could ask the little monk how to go there.
“Oh, right, little monk, I still have not asked: why did you come to the Ash Gray Sea?” Xiao Chen asked curiously.
The little monk rubbed his head and smiled. “There is a Heavenly Book Scholar in the Yanwu Dynasty who is very good at fortune-telling. He understands the Dragon Seeking Art and is well known among the common people. There is no one’s fate that he cannot tell. Many people go to him to get a reading on their fate.
“I was curious, so I went to seek him out, as well. After that, he said that the greatest fortuitous encounter of my life is in the Myriad Star Mountain. Hence, I foolishly came here.”
Heavenly Book Scholar? Well known among the common people?
Interesting. If there is a chance, I can go and take a look, expand my horizons. I should get him to do a reading on my fate. Let’s see if he really is that divine.
“However, the Ash Gray Sea and the Central Great Realm should be very far apart, right? How did you get here?”
Compared to the Heavenly Book Scholar, Xiao Chen was more concerned about how to get to the Central Great Realm.
“There are trans-realm transportation formations. The Ash Gray Sea has them too. However, it requires quite a lot of Spirit Jades, and the activation time is also limited. Those are ancient transportation formations, which require frequent maintenance.”
“Good. Bring me to a trans-realm transportation formation. That should not be a problem, right?”
“Hehe! Leave it to me. Although I am a little unlucky, I don’t think I ever have been lost before.”
Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he saw the little monk’s confident look. He thought to himself, I have to prepare a back-up plan.
I cannot place all my hopes on this little monk.
“Whoosh!”
In the next moment, Xiao Chen’s figure vanished and reappeared in his cultivation room.
With a casual wave, he summoned the eight supreme treasures that he had collected from the stone pillar of the divine flame.
Wait, that’s not right. There are only seven left. I gave the kasaya to the little monk.
After collecting these supreme treasures, Xiao Chen had not had time to check them out. Actually, he had been eagerly anticipating doing so for a long time already.
He swept his gaze around and focused on the Peak Grade Spirit Jade.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, A Peak Grade Spirit Jade’s value already surpasses that of ordinary Spirit Jades. It is a rare and valuable gem of the world.
Even a Sovereign Personage would covet it.
Not to mention the Spiritual Energy in the Peak Grade Spirit Jade, which could allow Xiao Chen to break through to middle-stage Star Venerate without any difficulty, the most important thing was that the Spiritual Energy in it was exceptionally pure and dense, not containing any filth.
If using the Peak Grade Spirit Jade to advance, one would not need to spend time consolidating one’s foundations. One’s Veritable Essence Energy would automatically become denser and purer.
However, using it right now would be an extravagance. Furthermore, it would not bring out its greatest effect.
After Xiao Chen put away the Peak Grade Spirit Jade, his gaze fell on the Medicinal Pill that was clearly for ferocious beasts.
This Medicinal Pill was about the size of a chicken egg. It was red, and its surface burned with fire. One could easily feel its ferocious and tyrannical medicinal nature without even consuming it.
It was clear that Xiao Chen could not use it. If the Demon Blood Vulture were here, he might consider giving the pill to it to use.
After all, the Demon Blood Vulture had followed him for quite some time.
Unfortunately, he did not know where the Demon Blood Vulture had run off to, so he could only put it away for further consideration in the future.
Next was the pipa. Xiao Chen gently plucked it, and a pleasing melodious tone rang out, sounding exceptionally clear.
This was also a Soul Tool. It was very valuable, but Xiao Chen could not properly assess it.
After all, he was not skilled with the Music Dao and did not know much.
Xiao Chen thought of a person, and a smile appeared on his face. He could let his martial nephew, Ling Yu, have it to give to the headliner Ling Long.
Ling Yu had admired the headliner Ling Long for a long time already. Furthermore, there was even a five-year promise between them.
Xiao Chen could keep the pipa for Ling Yu, so that when Ling Yu went to meet her, he could use it as a betrothal gift.
There was still a ghost pennant, a treasure bow, a secret manual, and a mutated fruit. These were the four supreme treasures that Xiao Chen valued the most out of the lot.
These four items would have a direct impact on his current strength.
Xiao Chen waved his hand slightly and grasped the treasure bow. When he looked at it closely, he discovered three words carved on it: “Shadow of God.”
So, this bow is called the God Shadow Bow. Does it mean that the arrows that the bow shoots out are like a remnant shadow of a god?
Just the name itself filled Xiao Chen with excitement and anticipation.
In the past, he had liked using the bow. In the Sky Dome Realm, he had killed many strong enemies with the Soul Slayer Bow.
There was a bow but no arrows. However, he was sure he had some arrows in his storage ring.
After searching for a while, he found many arrows. However, these were arrows that were forged in the Sky Dome Realm, arrows that were good for that place. He did not know if these arrows were good enough for the God Shadow Bow.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. He circulated the Heavenly Heart Art, and a clump of Heart Flame—the simplified version of Heart Force made using Soul Energy—appeared in his palm.
He thought back to when the little monk easily crushed an ancient stone pillar with the Heavenly Heart Finger.
The Heavenly Heart Finger’s might was still fresh in his memory. Back then, he had been wondering how he could use this clump of Heart Flame.
Now that he had a bow and arrows, a way to use the Heart Flame immediately came to mind.
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen’s lips as he put aside the God Shadow Bow and went out cheerfully to look for the little monk Yan Chen.
“Big Brother, why are you smiling so happily? What’s going on?” the little monk asked out of curiosity, unaware of the impending danger.
“Since you comprehended your Heavenly Heart Finger, you have not found an opponent to help you practice it yet. I was thinking, I have nothing to do now and can help you train,” Xiao Chen said softly with a calm expression, not letting anything slip.
The little monk smiled and laughed, “Haha! Big Brother really understands me. I have been itching for a fight these past few days. After comprehending this unique Secret Technique, it is so frustrating not to have anyone to practice it on. However, the Heavenly Heart Finger is very mighty, and I’ve just comprehended it, so I can’t be responsible if I accidentally injure Big Brother.”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Just do your best and attack.”
The two arrived on the deck. Then, Xiao Chen pointed to the sea. The little monk leaped up and flew out one kilometer.
“Farther away.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The little monk traveled over the Ash Gray Sea like it was flat ground. After going five kilometers away, he shouted, “Is this far enough?!”
“Not yet!”
After having the little monk fly one hundred kilometers away and being sure that he could not see clearly, Xiao Chen took out the God Shadow Bow and nocked an arrow.
“Why does it feel like something is off?” the little monk wondered, rubbing his head in puzzlement.
