Chapter 489: 410 Zhangg Wings_2
But the Immortal Cultivators will not.
Ordinary cultivators cannot enter, nor withstand the omnipresent earth, water, wind, and fire.
However, Upper Immortals are fearless.
Upper Immortals possess Immortal Light to protect themselves, even when in the Divine Throne Continent, rendering any Divine Skills and Magic difficult to perform, yet the power of Immortal Light remains.
Especially for strong ones at the Heavenly Venerate level.
They have Nine Layers Immortal Light to protect themselves, making it impossible for mediocre legendary attacks to breach their defenses. Only Forbidden Curses grasped by the Immortal and Eternal can pose a certain threat to them.
But even that is only a threat.
Therefore, relying on a different path and Immortal Light protection, many perilous places that local strongmen find difficult to explore can be explored freely by the Heavenly Venerate Immortal Venerates who entered the Divine Throne Continent.
The ’Star Cluster Graveyard’ is one such place.
People like Shanhua Venerable and Yu Ming Immortal Venerable have all been to the ’Star Cluster Graveyard’ and have gained some harvest.
Tuota Venerable is no exception.
"Tuota Venerable once discovered a valuable treasure here, suspected to be an Upper Holy Artifact or even a Divine Artifact."
"Unfortunately, the treasure is guarded by earth, water, wind, and fire. Tuota Venerable is not adept at magic, so he couldn’t break through. Moreover, he had little life left, so a few Holy Artifacts or Divine Artifacts wouldn’t help him much, so he simply abandoned it and returned to the Nine Heavens to focus on cultivation."
"He eventually passed away without returning to the Immortal Gate World."
Chen Jichuan plunged into the ’Star Cluster Graveyard’, advancing according to the route map left by Tuota Venerable.
It is indeed extremely difficult to move here.
Whuuu! Whuuu!
Boom! Boom!
The endless earth, water, wind, and fire seem to have gone mad, swirling randomly with no pattern to follow. In such an environment, even a Legendary Mage wielding a Holy Artifact couldn’t last long.
If it were two years ago, even Chen Jichuan couldn’t gain an advantage here.
The space here is chaotic, making ’Dimensional Travel’ difficult to execute smoothly. The other Fourth-level Magic he mastered tends towards frontal combat.
To explore the ’Star Cluster Graveyard’, perhaps only by summoning the Legendary Ancestor from another dimension could one hope to succeed.
But now.
He has Triple Immortal Light, Fourth-level Magic ’Life Protection’, and holds the Holy Artifact ’Ashar’s Tears’. As long as he has enough Magic Power, he can release the Fourth-level Magic ’Holy Light Guardian’ at any time.
His defensive capabilities are exceedingly strong.
With his Magic Power, even if he fully exerts Fourth-level Magic, he wouldn’t tire for three days and nights.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth, water, wind, and fire’s assaults are all blocked by ’Life Protection’.
This is a Fourth-level Magic of the Life System. In terms of defense, it may not be as good as the earth element’s ’Earth Guardian’ or the light element’s ’Holy Light Guardian’, but it excels in durability.
The armor formed by ’Life Protection’ can absorb part of the attack’s force and convert it into energy stored within the armor. As long as it is not broken at the outset, the defense will grow stronger over time.
Time flies swiftly.
Chen Jichuan entered the Star Cluster Graveyard at sunrise and, by noon, had charged his way directly to the target location.
...
"Alchemy Wings?"
Standing at a place where chaotic wind eyes are densely packed, Chen Jichuan sees at the center of the wind eye a wing glimmering with a gleaming white metallic luster floating within.
It seems to be the Monarch of the wind, with densely packed chaotic and unordered wind eyes displaying a protective stance.
The wind eyes are preventing anyone from approaching these wings.
"No wonder Tuota Venerable gave up."
Looking at these wind eyes, Chen Jichuan also felt a tingling on his scalp.
As the saying goes, tug one hair and the whole body moves. Centered around the wings, there are wind eyes within a ten-mile radius. Judging by the scale and destructive power of the wild gusts elsewhere, once the ten-mile wind eye erupts, even his ’Life Protection’ might not withstand it.
"This treasure is indeed a good treasure."
"Able to remain intact in such an environment, surpassing ordinary Holy Artifacts. If it also has the capability of controlling the Wind Element, it’s a top-notch Holy Artifact, if not a Divine Artifact."
"Tuota Venerable was not wrong to call it a valuable treasure."
The wind eyes obstruct, so Chen Jichuan cannot see clearly, unaware of the details of the wings, but he knows it’s a great treasure.
Chen Jichuan stood at a distance, gazing at the wings for a long while.
Then he slowly retreated.
"Wait a bit longer."
"Once I’ve mastered the remaining thirteen Fourth-level Magic spells, I’ll come for the treasure."
The treasure is right in front, but hastily obtaining it could lead to potential losses. If there was no way to quickly enhance his strength, it would be another matter, but Chen Jichuan has a way.
He has thirteen Fourth-level Magic spells yet to be refined, with Magic Materials ready for building eleven of them.
He’s in no rush.
"Thirteen Fourth-level Magic spells."
"One per year, it’s merely thirteen years."
"Wait a bit longer."
Chen Jichuan took one last look at the wings, then slowly retreated from the ’Star Cluster Graveyard’, finding a place nearby to conceal and cultivate.
...
Another year passes.
After gathering materials from the Yu Ming Immortal Court, Chen Jichuan visited Jade City once more, completing their first trade successfully, then traveled across the East Continent for several years to collect materials for building the Fourth-level Magic: ’Holy Light Guardian’ and ’Space Confinement’.
After which he returned to the edge of the ’Star Cluster Graveyard’, seeking a place to conceal and cultivate.
...
Time flies like an arrow.
Fifteen years have passed since the first trade of Holy Artifacts.
On this day.
Chen Jichuan emerged from his seclusion cave, softly chanting, and drawing a hand through the air—
Boom!
A wild wind arose.
The sky tore open, and bursts of fierce wind swept through. A giant, completely translucent and standing ten feet tall, strode out from the plane channel.
Before the giant emerged, a voice had already sounded—
"Ha ha!"
"The master has finally summoned me ’O’Brien’ again!"
The voice fell.
This giant also fully emerged from the plane channel, the visage conjured by gathering air appearing jubilant.
Such a sight would surely astound anyone who saw it.
Because this giant is none other than the Qi Element Ancestor from the Elemental Realm, who had just ascended to legendary status forty-two years ago.
Qi Element Ancestor — O’Brien.
Chen Jichuan could easily summon an Elemental Ancestor, without spending a penny, and this Ancestor would happily rush over, which is simply astonishing.
O’Brien was indeed overjoyed, bowing his head to Chen Jichuan and proclaiming loudly, "The other Legendary Mages on the Main Continent are far inferior to the master. Summoning once is such a hassle, each time the plane channel almost crushes me, it’s so uncomfortable! Coming here to the master is so comfortable, the master summons me, and I can step across without even needing to grasp at anything!"
This Qi Element Ancestor is very talkative, laughing heartily, simultaneously mocking the other Legendary Mages who’ve summoned him in the past forty-two years and flattering and appeasing Chen Jichuan.
He can’t be blamed for being this way.
Even in the Elemental Realm, there are few Elemental Ancestors comparable to legendary figures. Across the entire Qi Element clan, there are only about eight Ancestors.
That’s far too few.
In comparison to the major organizations on the Three Continents, like the ’Dawn Era’, the strength of the Qi Element clan is insignificant.
Even within the Elemental Realm, the strength of the Qi Element clan is not strong.
And O’Brien, decades ago, was merely one among hundreds and thousands of Third-level Monarchs in the Qi Element clan, stuck at the upper Monarch level for nearly a thousand years without breaking through.
A common Monarch.
Until over sixty years ago.
O’Brien was summoned by Chen Jichuan, who was already comparable to a legendary figure at the time, and after signing a contract, he finally started to flourish. After more than twenty years, forty-two years ago, he even broke through the barrier between Monarch and Legend thanks to Chen Jichuan’s physical ’guidance’, becoming the Qi Element Ancestor.
His status changed greatly.
Since then, O’Brien has remained loyal, always coming when called. Other Legendary Mages have to offer various precious Magic Materials to summon him.
Yet for Chen Jichuan, a mere call would do.
O’Brien had his own little schemes: "Lord Benage is mysterious and powerful. By following him, I might continue to rise, perhaps becoming the king of the Qi Element clan, or even the entire Four Elements tribe."
