Chapter 1094: Gathering Momentum (Part 2)

In the Unknown Plains.

This place is far from human habitation, with no villages or towns within several hundred miles, nor any trade routes.

Even magical beasts disdain this desolate and barren land, where only small creatures like wild rabbits and grass foxes dwell, leading peaceful and tranquil lives.

However, today all these small creatures hide in their burrows, too frightened to emerge, curling up and trembling.

Across the plains, beams of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple sword energy raced wildly, tearing through the air with a thunderous roar, slicing the surrounding space into countless fragments.

These beams of energy wove together in the sky, creating a densely packed sword net, its immense power enveloping the earth and forming a vast, invisible sword domain.

The swordsmanship had nearly reached the realm of the Dao!

In the next moment, all the sword energy gathered together, revealing the true forms of the seven flying swords.

Floating in the air, Wang Chen reached out and with a swift motion, the seven swords merged into a Large Sword, shooting quickly into the sword box strapped to his back, dimming their brilliance!

【Seven Ultimate Sword Technique · Experience +1】

Wang Chen exhaled as he checked the Cultivation Panel, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.

After a year of diligent practice, coupled with continuous input of specific numbers to increase his experience points, this superb swordsmanship had finally reached the basic level.

With the advancement in his cultivation level, Wang Chen’s ability to refine and control the seven flying swords deepened, having reached a level of seamless connection, as if guiding them with his fingers.

Although he had not verified this through real combat, he confidently believed that with this Seven Ultimate Sword Formation, he could contend even with early-stage Yuan Ying experts!

Both his combat power and self-defense capabilities had greatly increased.

Lost in thought, Wang Chen suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.

A streak of light shot toward him from the distance, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Wang Chen grasped it in his hand.

It was a small, exquisitely crafted flying sword, with a letter attached to the sword hilt.

Wang Chen removed the letter and opened it to read.

His heart understood.

The moment had finally arrived!

This flying sword message came from Huangfu Yongchun, who informed Wang Chen in the letter that the day for the opening of Langya Cave Heaven was approaching and asked him to return to Luodu Immortal City to meet immediately.

Wang Chen put away the letter and immediately shot up a beam of sword light, heading towards Luodu.

A day later, he and Huangfu Yongchun boarded a Golden Core flying ship, heading to the secret location of Langya Cave Heaven.

“Master Wang, this time it’s hard on you,” Huangfu Yongchun personally poured a goblet of spiritual wine for Wang Chen and said with a smile, “I hope this journey goes smoothly, and we both gain something; otherwise, we’ll have to wait another ten years.”

As he spoke, his smile slowly faded, “I can hardly wait any longer!”

“Thank you.”

Wang Chen took the goblet and drank it all at once, then curiously asked, “Master Huangfu, you’re not yet two hundred years old; your lifespan is still long. Why do you say you can’t wait?”

Golden Core true masters live for up to five hundred years. If they cultivate high-quality elixirs and their foundation is stable, or if they encounter special opportunities, or practice unique longevity techniques, their lifespan can be greatly extended.

Just like Wang Chen, whose lifespan reached eight hundred years, making him an anomaly among true masters, yet he is far from being unique.

Even though Huangfu Yongchun can only live up to five hundred years, he still has at least three hundred years to strive for Yuan Ying.

“Not to hide it from you, I once injured my foundation in a fight.”

Huangfu Yongchun said with a bitter smile: “Although I used Xiaojiao’s core to restore it, the lost lifespan cannot be recovered. If I don’t quickly break the Golden Core and condense the Yuan Ying, the chances of success will only diminish.”

“I see.”

Wang Chen nodded and said, “Master Huangfu, don’t worry. I will do my utmost to help you open the inner chamber of Langya Cave Heaven.”

“Thank you, fellow traveler!”

Huangfu Yongchun solemnly bowed to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen hurriedly returned the gesture: “Fellow traveler, there’s no need for such formalities.”

Although the two of them had comparable cultivation levels, in terms of age and experience, Huangfu Yongchun could certainly be considered his senior.

Due to the distant location of Langya Cave Heaven and the fact that Huangfu Yongchun chose a safe yet indirect route, the Golden Core flying ship would take at least two days and nights to reach their destination.

The journey was monotonous, and the well-read Huangfu Yongchun shared many interesting stories from the world of cultivation with Wang Chen, greatly enhancing his knowledge.

In terms of cultivation, Huangfu Yongchun also had his own insights and was generous in sharing them with Wang Chen.

Even though Wang Chen was already at the peak of the Golden Core level, he truly lagged behind Huangfu Yongchun in terms of insights, experiences, and cultivation accumulation. After their exchange, he gained a lot from it.

In the end, Huangfu Yongchun sighed, saying, “Master Wang, with your talent and understanding, you will surely condense your Yuan Ying within twenty or thirty years!”

This was his judgment based on Wang Chen’s cultivation at the seventh level of Golden Core and was a tremendous compliment.

Because a cultivator who can ascend to Yuan Ying true immortal within a century is considered a prodigy.

Moreover, Wang Chen was a loose cultivator!

Huangfu Yongchun was also a loose cultivator, so he deeply understood the difficulties involved.

He even felt a hint of camaraderie.

But this fleeting notion was quickly suppressed by this peak Golden Core master!

As dusk settled, the Golden Core flying ship descended upon a vast river.

This river was incredibly wide, flowing from west to east. The river’s surface spanned over a hundred miles, and the roaring water crashed against the rocks, producing a deafening sound that could be heard from afar.

Due to the swift current and abundant mist, the river was shrouded in a fog, making it difficult to see the scenes below.

Huangfu Yongchun halted the flying ship and said to Wang Chen, “The entrance to Langya Cave Heaven is in this Feiyun River!”

Wang Chen was taken aback: “So it’s an underwater palace.”

Most practitioners choose cultivation areas located in famous mountains and rivers where spiritual energy gathers; it is rare for anyone to build their cultivation space on a water vein.

On one hand, it is difficult, and on the other, the water’s flow is unpredictable and lacks the ability to concentrate spiritual energy. Finding a suitable underwater palace is exceedingly challenging!

Thus, everyone searches for the cave left behind by ancient practitioners deep in the mountains, and no one jumps into rivers.

That Huangfu Yongchun was able to find the hidden cave beneath this great river truly set him apart.

Huangfu Yongchun smiled, “Exactly, it’s a fated chance.”

He was the first to leave the ship’s cabin, and Wang Chen followed closely behind him.

“Let’s go down!”

Huangfu Yongchun put away the Golden Core flying ship and dove toward the surging river below.

In an instant, he broke through the water flow and continued to fly downward.

Wang Chen followed closely, quickly plunging into the depths of Feiyun River.

This river is hundreds of feet deep, and as the water pressure increased, Huangfu Yongchun took out a water-splitting pearl to part the surrounding waters, finally landing with Wang Chen on a patch of black rocks at the riverbed.

At that moment, a stone tablet covered in water moss appeared in Wang Chen’s sight.

The words “Langya Cave Heaven” stood out prominently!

Wang Chen’s gaze flickered.

In the next moment, Huangfu Yongchun took out a copper token from the Xumi Ring.
