Chapter 1468 (Raw 1448): Closed-Door Cultivation
After the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady finished speaking, Xiao Chen felt an irresistible force tossing his body out of the Mirage Immortal Palace .
The world spun around . When he felt his feet planted firmly on the ground again, he discovered himself on an island .
Xiao Chen casually looked around and discovered that this nameless island was the island where the hemp-robed old man had been before entering the Mirage Immortal Palace .
He did not know if the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady did this on purpose or if this was a coincidence .
“Whoosh!”
Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared beside him . It was the Four Sea Wild Saber, Feng Xiao .
“Brother Shadowless, I did not expect to be able to meet you again after coming out . ”
Feng Xiao appeared to be in good spirits; he gave off a certain sharpness . He must have gained a lot in the Mirage Immortal Palace .
Xiao Chen nodded firmly, answering the other party’s greetings . Then, they casually chatted for a while .
Indeed, it was as Xiao Chen expected: Feng Xiao had obtained the Dao Comprehension Picture that an ancient bladesman left behind . After spending some time to comprehend it, Feng Xiao made a great harvest . Now, Feng Xiao was preparing to enter into closed-door cultivation and absorb the complete Dao .
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and congratulated Feng Xiao, offering his blessings .
“Hehe! My harvest is not really much . There was a huge explosion on the ninth floor of the Immortal palace’s underground . I heard that a supreme treasure appeared . Unfortunately, I missed out on it . ”
Feng Xiao was in a good mood, turning somewhat voluble .
“It might not necessarily be a bad thing that you missed it . For many such fortuitous encounters, you need to gauge your own strength first,” Xiao Chen said as he recalled his experiences on the Immortal palace’s ninth underground floor .
Naturally, Feng Xiao did not understand the deeper meaning behind Xiao Chen’s words . He nodded and said, “Brother Shadowless is right . I have to enter closed-door cultivation quickly, so I won’t chat any longer . Let’s meet again in the future if it is fated . ”
“See you . ” Xiao Chen sent Feng Xiao off with a cupped-fist salute .
Not long later, the middle-aged couple also came out . After casually greeting Xiao Chen, they rushed off .
It looked like they feared Xiao Chen attacking them, snatching away their treasures . Xiao Chen found it funny but did not say anything about it .
It looked like the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady purposely sent out his group to the same place .
The hemp-robed old man had died, so he would definitely not come out . However, there was also Geomaster Jiang Tian .
Although Xiao Chen believed that nothing would happen to the other party, he was still somewhat unsure in the depths of his heart .
“Could something have happened to that old fellow?”
Just as Xiao Chen muttered to himself, a beam of light flashed beside Xiao Chen . It was Jiang Tian, who emitted negative energy, appearing beside Xiao Chen .
“Haha! Don’t worry, even if you all die, this old man will not die . ”
Although Jiang Tian seemed to give off negative energy, he was very spirited . He was not in a sorry state despite having gotten trapped in a Ghost Mountain .
“How unfortunate! If only I could continue . ”
Jiang Tian was in a very good mood, somewhat forgetting about the matter of the Immortal Cultivators .
It was only some time later that Jiang Tian realized that he was being too rude . He smiled abashedly and said, “Sorry, when I was under the Ghost Mountain, I was researching the methods of the ancient Geomasters and got too engrossed . How was your side? Did the Penglai Sea’s people manage to obtain the way to cultivate as a Ghost Immortal?”
Xiao Chen felt that there was nothing much to hide from Jiang Tian . So he honestly spoke about his encounter at the Immortal palace .
After hearing his account, Jiang Tian was stirred, sighing endlessly .
“Unexpectedly, it is so difficult to cultivate as a Ghost Immortal . The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady, a heartless person, is really pitiful . ”
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “I feel that she is still fine . At least, she actually helped me obtain the Cycle Arts, unlike some people…”
Jiang Tian smiled in embarrassment . “Wasn’t I trapped in the Ghost Mountain? If not for being trapped, it would have been easy for me to help you obtain the Cycle Arts . ”
“It looks like you are rather carefree after coming out, not like you were restricted at all . ” Xiao Chen did not accept the other party’s excuse . No matter what, he was the one who dealt with the Penglai Sea’s people, so he had to try and get something out of Jiang Tian .
Jiang Tian knew that he was in the wrong . He said, “Very well, I owe you a favor for this . How do you want me to repay it?”
Xiao Chen smiled in satisfaction . “You are truly a good senior, very straightforward . In that case, I’ll speak directly . I want you to help me to investigate the Treasure Master’s identity and the ghost Hou . See if there is any connection between them . ”
The moment Xiao Chen said that, Jiang Tian’s expression sank .
“Little brat, you are pushing me into the firepit . The Treasure Master is low-profile and mysterious . Even the Primes did not dare to make a move against him, yet you want me to investigate him? This…is really hard to justify . ” Jiang Tian tried to push this away, clearly unwilling .
“A gentleman keeps his promises . Haha! I can’t be bothered about that . This is my Voice Transmission Talisman; just inform me when you have any information . ” Xiao Chen did not care . After tossing out a Voice Transmission Talisman, he left the nameless island while laughing heartily .
This left Jiang Tian alone, holding the Voice Transmission Talisman . After a while, he said with a sullen expression, “The Treasure Master’s matter… Indeed, I should not try to delude both myself and others . Fine, I’ll take this opportunity to check him out thoroughly together with some old friends . ”
He had long suspected that the Treasure Master was connected to the Deep Abyss Demonic World .
However, the Treasure Master was too strong, and his movements were very low-profile . Furthermore, he did not oppose the various Holy Lands . Hence, everyone just closed one eye to his existence .
This was especially so after the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign made a move and failed to take down the Treasure Master . As a result, everyone felt more reverence for the Treasure Master’s strength .
Nevertheless, if this continued and Jiang Tian simply watched as the Treasure Master kept slowly increasing his influence, Jiang Tian would just be deceiving himself and others .

After leaving the island, Xiao Chen sought a suitable place for closed-door cultivation on the boundless sea .
Compared to Feng Xiao, Xiao Chen had an even greater need to enter closed-door cultivation . Furthermore, he made up his mind to not come out of closed-door cultivation until he comprehended the state of cycle .
Wearing a mask everywhere he went gave Xiao Chen a feeling of shame .
In the long term, this would make his Heart Demon even more difficult to deal with, possibly even insurmountably so .
As Xiao Chen reflected, he discovered a pretty good spot for his closed-door cultivation . It was a lone island with the boundless sea surrounding it for five thousand kilometers around . It was not along any trade routes, nor did it contain any natural treasures .
There should not be anyone coming to this place for ten to a hundred years .
True to his cautious nature, after Xiao Chen landed on the lone island, he laid down some defensive formations . Then, he tossed out a formation plate and tapped the air with his right hand, activating the simple defense .
After laying his formation, he sat down cross-legged, then cleared his head, entering into a state where he forgot about everything and himself .
After achieving the right mental state, Xiao Chen shouted . Lights of seven different colors shot out from his body .
Each light represented a different state: massacre, destruction, ruin, pain, grief, despair, and death .
Massacre caused destruction . When destruction spread out, it resulted in ruin, which brought pain and grief . When grief was infinitely expanded upon, it would become despair . At the end came death .
Death represented the destruction of all things . However, from death came new life, a cycle .
Nothing could escape this cycle, from the insignificant ants, birds, and beasts, to the world, even the epoch .
This was so for the Immortal Epoch . The Immortals fell, and the world crumbled . Everything was destroyed . However, the epoch’s death gave birth to a new epoch . Now, the Kunlun Realm was already this prosperous .
The great world above would definitely be even more prosperous . The Cycle Dao never stopped .
On the first page of the Cycle Arts secret manual, there were eight ancient words: the cycle does not stop; life never ends .
After he grasped the cycle, the flames of life would be eternal and inextinguishable . They would blaze intensely, living as long as the heavens .
This was the greatest aspiration the creator of the Cycle Arts had for the Cycle Dao . Whether it truly had such an effect was unknown .
The Cycle Arts in Xiao Chen’s hand was incomplete . The contents at the back were clearly lacking, just enough for him to comprehend the state of cycle . It was still a mystery if there was more at the back .
Xiao Chen read through the Cycle Arts secret manual again . Then, he closed his eyes and circulated his energy as prescribed .
He cultivated accordingly . As the Primordial Energy swam around in his body, seven flames spun around him .
The lights of seven colors soared into the air, looking like a rainbow as they lit up the entire sky .
