Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Wang Chen calculated and found that as the surrounding moisture was continuously absorbed by the "True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon," the number of unsealing points was increasing at the rate of one point per breath.

There are nine hundred and sixty breaths in a quarter of an hour, and seven thousand two hundred breaths in two hours, which means he would only need to stay in the East Wasteland Great Marsh for most of the day to complete the unsealing of the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon!

Wang Chen had already obtained four sealed items, and the difficulty of unsealing this treasure chart was undoubtedly the lowest.

It was so low that he could hardly believe it.

But the Immortal Cultivation panel wouldn\'t lie, the increase in points was clearly visible!

Wang Chen stopped moving.

He simply sat down on the spot and casually tossed the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon forward.

The treasure chart unfolded automatically, silently levitating in mid-air, continuing to absorb the abundant moisture pervading the surrounding space.

Clouds formed below it, blending perfectly with the clouds in the picture.

A lifelike dragon with the body of a serpent, shell of a turtle, and three claws came out from the clouds, its huge head emerging and beginning to swallow the moisture.

The entire painting had completely "come to life"!

From this, Wang Chen deduced that there must be some special connection between this treasure chart and the East Wasteland Great Marsh.

For he had passed by large rivers and lakes before, and the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon stored in his Storage Bag had shown no reaction until he arrived here.

It was very possible that the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon originated from the East Wasteland Great Marsh and had circulated until it came into his possession.

However, Wang Chen was still unclear whether the same effect would occur elsewhere.

So to be on the safe side, he planned to stay here until tomorrow, waiting for the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon to be fully unsealed before leaving.

Wang Chen gathered a large clump of mud and began constructing a temporary shelter.

With the Great Perfection level Mudstone Technique, he managed to build an incredibly sturdy house that seemed as if it had been hollowed out of a massive rock in just half a two-hour period.

It was so solid that ordinary monster beasts couldn\'t break through it!

Although the structure of the house was very simple and crude, it was more than enough to accommodate both Wang Chen and the big green donkey.

When night fell and the East Wasteland Great Marsh slowly sank into darkness, Wang Chen built a campfire outside his dwelling.

For dinner today, he cooked a pot of fragrant rice casserole.

The rice was Spirit Rice, the meat was cured beast meat, and he added taro, sweet onions, and winter bamboo shoots, finally drizzling in freshly brewed soy sauce.

Even the big green donkey next door was drooling with envy!

Wang Chen also took out a pot of Spiritual Wine, feasting and soothing his stomach.

Actually, with his current Cultivation Level, fasting wouldn\'t be difficult; by consuming Fasting Pills and Nurturing Origin Pills, he could meet the daily needs for cultivation.

But Wang Chen\'s fondness for the joys of mortal life was engraved in his Divine Soul.

Not to mention that he was currently at the Qi Cultivation Realm, even if he were to advance to the Purple Mansion, Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul in the future.

He would not abandon his desire for food.

Because his life\'s motto in his previous life was: Only love and good food are not to be wasted!

The True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon quietly hovered in front of him, the fully unfolded picture was absorbing the moonlight that spilled onto it while it swallowed the moisture.

The dragon within the picture stealthily rolled its body, becoming even more lifelike.

"Awooo~"

At that moment, a piercing howl came from afar.

Sets of green, glowing eyes appeared like flickering ghostfires in various positions, flickering into view and slowly inching closer to where Wang Chen was!

The East Wasteland Great Marsh was full of unpredictable dangers with countless fiendish beasts lurking inside.

Even Innate Martial Artists dared only to move in groups.

"Scram!"

Wang Chen, who was enjoying his meal and wine, did not wish to bother with these creatures, and immediately shouted a command.

"Awooo!"

The Great Marsh Wolf Beasts approaching from all directions were instantly scared witless, fleeing with their tails between their legs.

Many wild animals have an extraordinary perception of danger, and this pack of Wolf Beasts sensed the immense threat from Wang Chen, making the wisest choice.

In comparison, some people are blinded by greed and ambition, meeting nothing but a fate of scattered ashes and dispersed smoke.

Wang Chen did not bother with these natives of the Great Marsh any longer; he polished off a pot of claypot rice, then scooped out a large intact crust of Spirit Rice as a dessert after his meal.

After eating his fill, Wang Chen sat cross-legged in the stone house and began to cultivate the Five Elements Technique with his eyes closed.

Advancing from the ninth level of Qi Cultivation to Great Perfection is not a promotion in rank but an important process for reaching the pinnacle of one\'s cultivation level.

In theory, one at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation could also breakthrough to the Mansion.

But the success rate is simply too low, and no cultivator would do so unless they were nearing the end of their lifespan.

Many cultivators often take three to five years, or even longer, to achieve Complete Qi Cultivation to prepare for a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

Wang Chen\'s biggest problem was that he was leveling up too fast.

He took just under three years to advance from the third level to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

Therefore, the accumulation process was particularly crucial.

Otherwise, even if Wang Chen could forcibly advance to the Purple Mansion using the immortal cultivation panel, the outcome would most likely be something he did not want to see!

The long night quietly passed.

As dawn began to break, the mist that enshrouded the East Wasteland Great Marsh slowly dissipated.

Wang Chen, who had been cultivating all night, suddenly opened his eyes, his deep black pupils shining with sharp brilliance, as if thunder were flickering within them.

He grabbed at the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon floating in the air and pulled it into his hands.

Counting the time, this treasure chart should be unsealed by now.

[True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon: 3985/100000]

Huh?

The display in the equipment slot of the cultivation panel made Wang Chen pause in surprise.

The word "Sealed" that had been a suffix to the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon had disappeared, but a string of numbers was still there and had increased from 50000 to 100000, putting it on the same tier as Thousand Mechanisms Changing!

What was this data?

Wang Chen was a bit puzzled.

Because after the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net was unsealed, the numbers behind it disappeared.

He attempted to infuse Mana into the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.

Previously, when it wasn\'t unsealed, no matter how much Mana Wang Chen injected, the treasure chart didn\'t show any reaction.

But this time it was different.

It suddenly emitted a clear and bright light, and a flood of information instantly surged into Wang Chen\'s Sea of Consciousness.

The next moment, a Spirit Light Law Seed abruptly took shape!

Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue!

Wang Chen gasped.

Inside this treasure chart was a Cultivation Technique sealed, and furthermore, a Dharma Technique that could be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul tier!

At first, Wang Chen barely dared to believe it.

Because the supreme secret technique of the Cloud Sun Sect—the Cloud Dragon Nine Transformations—was of the same tier.

And for a disciple of the Cloud Sun Sect to learn the Cloud Dragon Nine Transformations, one must first become a disciple of the Sect Leader and also gain the Sect Leader\'s approval before they could qualify to be taught this true transmission.

One can imagine how difficult that is.

Although the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue is a Cultivation Technique and not suitable to be the main cultivation technique, its value to Wang Chen, who was still at the Qi-Training Realm, was immeasurable!

He recalled the process of how he came into possession of the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon and felt there was karma at work in the unseen.

One sword strike suppressing a hundred thousand troops, saving hundreds of thousands of mortals in the city.

Even though he received no points for merit.

But Wang Chen felt that he had already received the good karma he deserved!
