Chapter 514 - 512: Dragon-locking Realm

"Perfect."

Jiang Chen let out a long breath of air.

He immediately beckoned at the Pill Furnace.

"WHOOSH!"

A streak of green light, tinged with gold, flew out from the Pill Furnace.

It landed in Jiang Chen’s hand in an instant.

’I successfully refined the Celestial Destiny Pill.’

Jiang Chen was overjoyed as he looked at the Celestial Destiny Pill in his hand.

The green Celestial Destiny Pill’s surface was covered in a golden halo.

Beyond that, one could see a faint trace of purple-gold light contained within the gold.

This was the Celestial Destiny Pill Jiang Chen had refined, and it had already reached Purple Gold Quality.

Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill had improved once again.

’Excellent. It seems I can now refine Purple Gold Quality Third-Grade Elixirs.’

This was the result of Jiang Chen’s hard work.

With the Black Fire, Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill had naturally reached a higher level.

In just a short amount of time, he was able to refine a Purple Gold Quality Third-Grade Elixir.

Holding the Celestial Destiny Pill, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

He patted his waist.

"WHOOSH!"

A Spirit Beast Bag landed in his hand.

This Spirit Beast Bag contained the sleeping Black Fire Crow.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he waved his hand, and the Spirit Beast Bag trembled slightly.

A black shadow flew out—it was the sleeping Black Fire Crow.

The Black Fire Crow had been nearly stomped to death by the One-Eyed Snow Worm, leaving it barely clinging to life.

It was Jiang Chen who had saved it.

Now, to fully heal the Black Fire Crow, Jiang Chen’s Celestial Destiny Pill was essential.

He reached out and took the sleeping Black Fire Crow in his hand.

Although the Black Fire Crow was asleep, its body was completely intact. Its injuries had healed long ago.

It was only its Life Force that was fading.

Jiang Chen had already used Elixirs to heal the Black Fire Crow’s injuries.

With one hand, he pried open the Black Fire Crow’s beak.

With his other hand, he took the Celestial Destiny Pill and tossed it into the Black Fire Crow’s beak.

"SWISH!"

The Celestial Destiny Pill flew directly into the Black Fire Crow’s beak.

Asleep, the Black Fire Crow couldn’t swallow the Elixir.

Jiang Chen helped by gradually forcing the Elixir into the Black Fire Crow’s body.

The Black Fire Crow, however, showed no reaction whatsoever.

’I wonder how long it will take for the Black Fire Crow to finish absorbing the Celestial Destiny Pill.’

’Recovery will take at least six months to a year. I can’t rush things.’

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly.

He couldn’t rush it, either; he could only let the Black Fire Crow slowly absorb the Celestial Destiny Pill on its own.

After finishing, he glanced at the Black Fire Crow one last time, then placed it back inside the Spirit Beast Bag to continue sleeping.

The medicinal effects of the Celestial Destiny Pill had to be absorbed gradually.

After tying the Spirit Beast Bag to his waist, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

His mind was calm.

He took out another Spirit Beast Bag and opened it to take a look.

Inside the Spirit Beast Bag, nearly two hundred Zombies—Green-haired Zombies, Silver-haired Zombies, and the Golden-haired Zombie King—were all sitting cross-legged.

They crammed the massive Spirit Beast Bag completely full.

’The space in this Spirit Beast Bag is still a little too small.’

Jiang Chen was not satisfied.

However, after inspecting the Zombies, a look of delight appeared on his face.

He saw that the Cultivation of the twenty Silver-haired Zombies had already shown considerable progress.

Furthermore, there were now five more Silver-haired Zombies.

This meant that after consuming the Blood Corpse Pills, some of the Green-haired Zombies’ Cultivation had risen to the Martial King Realm, transforming them into Silver-haired Zombies.

In addition, the Cultivation of every Green-haired Zombie had also improved.

Jiang Chen’s Blood Corpse Pills were, after all, extremely potent.

’Excellent. Once the Cultivation of all these Zombies reaches the Martial Ancestor Realm, I’ll have two hundred Martial Ancestor-level experts at my command.’

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with his handiwork.

He put away the Spirit Beast Bag once more.

This time, Jiang Chen took out the final treasure he had won at the auction.

The Spatial Magical Treasure.

This Spatial Magical Treasure was merely a yellow, fist-sized orb.

Jiang Chen stared at the yellow orb, his expression growing solemn.

’Since this is a damaged Spatial Magical Treasure, it must have sustained some injury that has brought the space within to the brink of collapse.’

’Let me see just what problems this Spatial Magical Treasure has.’

Although Jiang Chen’s current Cultivation was insufficient, he still possessed the experience of his past life.

He naturally understood far more about Spatial Magical Treasures than others did.

First, he squeezed a drop of fresh blood from his fingertip, letting it slowly drip onto the yellow orb.

The blood quickly seeped into the orb.

The next moment, Jiang Chen found he had established a connection with this Spatial Magical Treasure.

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Chen learned the name of the Spatial Magical Treasure.

’Dragon-locking Realm.’

’Interesting. This Spatial Magical Treasure is actually called the Dragon-locking Realm.’

After learning that the Spatial Magical Treasure was called the Dragon-locking Realm, Jiang Chen did not rush to enter it.

After all, he knew the space within the Magical Treasure was unstable.

Because the space was unstable, it was surely filled with things like spatial rifts, making it extremely dangerous. With his current Cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to fend off a spatial rift at all; he would be devoured.

With a mere thought, his consciousness entered the Dragon-locking Realm.

"WHOOSH!"

Inside the Dragon-locking Realm, Jiang Chen’s consciousness coalesced into a projection of himself.

Standing inside the Dragon-locking Realm, Jiang Chen sensed the space here was quite large.

A space at least ten kilometers across.

’As expected of a Spatial Magical Treasure. This space, though not massive, contains Spatial Law.’

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, surveying the space.

The space was completely empty; there was nothing inside.

There was only a stretch of land, just like the earth of the outside world.

The influence of Spatial Law made it so that any such space was no different from the outside world.

One could even grow things like plants within the space.

However, since the space here was riddled with spatial rifts and severely damaged, even plants would be unable to survive in the Dragon-locking Realm.

’At least a dozen ruptured areas. It seems this Dragon-locking Realm has suffered severe damage.’

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

A Spatial Magical Treasure that couldn’t even store treasures was rather useless.

After inspecting the area for a moment, Jiang Chen didn’t sense any threat.

An idea struck him.

’It seems my physical body can enter the Dragon-locking Realm as well.’

Instantly, with a flicker of thought, a figure flashed within the Dragon-locking Realm, and Jiang Chen himself had entered it.

Standing in the Dragon-locking Realm, Jiang Chen sized up his surroundings.

He shook his head with some regret.

’If the space in the Dragon-locking Realm were intact, I could keep my Zombies in here.’

Unfortunately, because of the numerous spatial rifts, he didn’t dare bring the Zombies inside for now.

Just as he was surveying the area...

"Hm?"

Jiang Chen murmured in surprise.

He walked to the edge of the Dragon-locking Realm and discovered a stretch of chaotic mist, making it impossible to see the world beyond it.

’This... this chaotic mist... it must be some kind of seal.’

This discovery surprised Jiang Chen.

The presence of the chaotic mist was what made the space here so small.

’The space in this Dragon-locking Realm should be much larger.’

’This current ten-kilometer range is likely just one part of the Dragon-locking Realm.’

At this thought, Jiang Chen was ecstatic.

’If I can expand the space within the Dragon-locking Realm, that would be perfect.’

’But, the first priority is to repair the spatial rifts here.’
