Chapter 745: Chapter 283: Farewell for Now, Until We Meet Again

What Xiao Chen had said, however, was, "Until we meet again."

If he had the chance in the future, he was still very much looking forward to meeting Zhang Shouquan again.

However, he didn’t actually leave. After pretending to head West, he circled back and returned to the island.

After all, there was still Evil Qi to be collected. He couldn’t just leave.

He followed the passage back into the cave once more.

This time, Xiao Chen threw caution to the wind, directly activating his Mystic Sky Eating Secret Technique at full power and beginning to devour the Earth Fiend within the cave.

The only thing he found somewhat regrettable was that this cave was quite deep, and not at all narrow.

Even the bottom was relatively spacious.

As a result, the Evil Qi in the cave wasn’t dense, but was spread almost uniformly throughout the entire cavern.

Aside from the Heaven-Burning Fiend he had first encountered, this was the most sparse Evil Qi Xiao Chen had ever come across.

Consequently, his absorption efficiency was greatly affected.

’Hiss... It’s even sticking to the walls. This is such a pain!’

In the middle of his absorption, Xiao Chen discovered that a great deal of the Evil Qi was clinging tightly to the cave’s rock walls.

It was practically merging into the rock and earth.

Only after he had absorbed all the free-floating Evil Qi would the rest slowly drift out to fill the void.

Thus, to increase his absorption efficiency, Xiao Chen had no choice but to dash back and forth, from the top of the cave to the bottom.

One moment, he’d be absorbing the Evil Qi seeping out from above; the next, he’d be absorbing the Evil Qi seeping out from below.

He repeated this process, a new cycle every three days. After a full ten rounds, he finally succeeded in condensing a brand-new Yang Earth Seal inside his Dantian.

Just as before, the instant the Yang Earth Seal finished forming...

...it overlapped with the Yin Earth Seal, and together they formed a complete, profound seal.

It seemed to carry both the bounty of the earth and the weight of mountains, yet it also held the faint image of endlessly shifting sands.

’Phew... Another five percent increase to my chances of Nascent Soul Formation.’

Xiao Chen performed a Divine Sense Internal Observation. Seeing the result, he couldn’t help but smile. ’I’ve gathered four pairs now, accumulating a total twenty percent increase to my chances of Nascent Soul Formation.’

In other words, this was nearly equivalent to cultivating an additional Tier Breakthrough Secret Technique.

’It’s a shame I’m still missing the last one, the Yang Water Fiend. Otherwise, I could have gathered all the Five Elements Evil Qi and formed the Yang Five Elements Seal.’

Seeing the solitary Yin Water Seal left all alone in his Dantian, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

When he had first come to the Eastern Domain, he had been full of confidence.

He had thought that since the Eastern Domain had no shortage of water, the Yang Water Fiend would be the easiest Evil Qi to collect.

He never imagined it would turn out to be the most difficult.

Now he had gathered the other nine types of Evil Qi; only the Yang Water Fiend was missing.

"Jeez, where on earth are you hiding? Stop playing games!"

Xiao Chen muttered to himself, then stood up, took out the Xin Jin Treasure Gourd, and continued to collect the remaining Evil Qi.

Although the Evil Qi here seemed sparse, most of it was actually hidden within the rock walls.

Even though he had already absorbed a great deal, more continued to seep out endlessly.

That being the case, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn’t let it go to waste.

For one, while he didn’t need it at the moment, he could certainly save it for later.

It might prove to be of great use in the future.

For another, he didn’t want to leave the remaining Evil Qi here for the Sea Race to exploit.

After all, the intelligence that led Xiao Chen here had come from the Sea Race in the first place.

If he didn’t take the remaining Evil Qi with him, it might be claimed by other traitors in the future, or even by the Sea Race themselves.

That could very well lead to another disaster.

It would be better for him to stay here a few more days and eliminate this potential threat.

Perhaps this very act could save the lives of many ordinary Cultivators in the future.
