Chapter 307 - 290: Reunion with White Crane_1

Chapter 307: Chapter 290: Reunion with White Crane_1

A golden bee insect suddenly spoke.

Claiming... that it was Luo Yuan.

White Crane was dumbfounded for a moment and then let out a sharp cry, "So it was you, kid! No, wait, how did you turn into a bee insect?"

Curiously, it observed the shiny golden bee insect, and saliva slowly began to secrete from its mouth.

To it, the golden bee insect was like the most delicious snack, making it drool with desire.

It really wanted to peck it up and swallow it whole.

Instinctively, it felt that eating this peculiar golden bee insect would be beneficial for advancing its bloodline, and could enhance its soul spirit.

"Luo Yuan, can I eat this little insect?"

Its greedy eyes were unmasked, "Where did you get this insect from? How about you let me eat it first, and then you can come find me?"

"Swoosh!"

The bee insect frantically fled the glowing white sea of thunder and lightning, hurriedly distancing itself from White Crane, its autonomous soul trembling uneasily.

Pang Jian, who had channeled a thought into this bee insect, sensed the fear of the bee insect.

He faintly saw that the bee soul inside the bee insect’s brain was quivering.

The still weak bee insect had some divine skills related to the soul; it could, for example, consume the divine consciousness of alien gods infesting his Sea of Consciousness, and could capture the silver divine sense that Li Yuanchen released outside.

However, the White Crane before it came from the Thunder Crane Clan of the Saint Spirit Continent, naturally adept at wielding thunder and lightning.

And thunder and lightning were the bane of most soul spirits and otherworldly beings.

Against its natural enemy, White Crane, many of the bee insect’s mysterious soul-related abilities were unlikely to be effective.

If White Crane truly wanted to kill it, besides relying on its speed to escape within the Mysterious Fog, it seemed to have no other options.

"Don’t scare it..."

Pang Jian spoke faintly.

"Luo Yuan, is it really you? How can you prove it?"

White Crane was somewhat skeptical; it stretched its neck, peering in all directions to see whether Pang Jian was hiding in the shadows.

On the other end.

Amid the endless Mysterious Fog, Pang Jian hovered in the air, frowning and contemplating.

The views seen by the bee insects, which had detached from the medal and were still soaring through the fog, continued to flood massively into his heart and mind.

He was also rapidly exhausting his mental and spiritual energy.

The departure of a dozen bee insects and the establishment of a connection were like achieving a collective consciousness with many saplings, Mysterious Turtles, and Rebel Kids.

For this, he needed to divide his attention into twelve parts to accept the scenes the bee insects were experiencing.

— This was a heavy drain on his energy.

"No wonder the beehive had such strange anomalies, the breeding of the bee insects must wait until my Sea of Consciousness is broadened."

While thinking this, he tried if he could teleport to the golden bee insect through the Purgatory Gate in his chest.

"Swoosh!"

A moment later, he suddenly appeared at the location of the golden bee insect.

"Success!"

Pang Jian’s eyes brightened, feeling extremely elated.

The dozen bee insects released outside, flying rapidly through the mysterious fog, each served as a set of coordinates he could instantly travel to through the medal.

What did that mean?

It meant he could instantly reach the location of the Sword Boat!

It also meant that when he found that Bright Heaven Battleship, he could appear out of thin air in an instant.

And it meant that no matter who he was fighting, he could teleport to the location of one of the bee insects in the next moment!

Advance when attacking, guard when retreating!

With these bee insects around, his advantage in the Mysterious Fog was greatly enhanced!

"Who are you, kid? You’re not Luo Yuan!"

Seeing the unfamiliar face, White Crane screeched harshly.

It immediately flapped its wings, ready to strangle Pang Jian who had suddenly appeared and kill the golden bee insect along with him.

"What about now?"

Pang Jian quickly altered his cheekbones using the "Phantom Bone Realm" secret Spirit Spell, subtly changing his complexion as well.

"You can change faces?"

White Crane became even more incredulous.

A sea of glowing white thunder and lightning had woven beneath it, and it yelled loudly, its foul language starting to pour out endlessly, "Son of a bitch! Who are you really? I just know you’re no good!"

"I am really Luo Yuan! During the battle in the Cloud Thunder Forbidden Zone, we fought for so long..."

While explaining, Pang Jian summoned the Star-shattering Umbrella and the Astonishing Spear one by one, changing the Spiritual Power Strong Shield that surrounded his body in front of White Crane.

Glowing green, intertwined with thunder and lightning and Cold Ice, crimson red.

The Spiritual Power Strong Shields of different colors, made from a multitude of attribute forces, appeared one after another in front of White Crane.

"Do you remember when I slapped those mouths of yours?"

Pang Jian stopped to ask.

"Alright, alright! Stop talking!"

White Crane conceded with a sulk, acknowledging his identity, and then said angrily, "Why are you injecting your consciousness into an insect and coming out of nowhere? What are you trying to do?"

In the environment shrouded with Mysterious Fog, it didn’t know that Pang Jian teleported using the golden bee insect.

It thought Pang Jian was nearby all along, using some strange escape technique to fly over.

"Do me a favor, just let this golden bee insect follow you and accompany you to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land."

Pang Jian requested.

"Piece of cake."

White Crane held its head high in pride, pompously saying, "Luo Yuan, your Lord Crane acknowledges owing you a favor."

"Getting you out of this godforsaken place is a cinch for me, let this little thing follow me. But remember, don’t let it get too close to me; otherwise, I might not be able to resist pecking it."

"What is it, Luo Yuan? It looks like it might be tasty."

White Crane’s hungry gaze fell on the bee insect again, causing the insect to fly even further away.

Pang Jian responded with a question instead of an answer, "Has your master come over?"

"My master is not available."

Pride filled White Crane’s eyes as it spoke with reverence, "She has already refined those lightning bolts imbued with Divine Power, using them to temper her Spiritual Soul. My master has been assigned by Pure Land to trial somewhere else. When she returns, she’ll have reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Condensation Realm!"

"Luo Yuan, if you ever get the chance to come to Pure Land, I’ll introduce you."

"My master holds a noble status; it’s not convenient for her to lower herself to go to Sword Tower and meet with a nobody like you."

White Crane’s attitude was extremely arrogant.

Pang Jian’s mouth twitched, his face revealing a rare smile.

Knowing that his sister was having a smooth journey and was at a critical stage in the Spirit Condensation Realm, he genuinely felt happy for her.

—And proud of her, just like White Crane.

"You continue to fly. I’ll have this Bee Insect follow you," he said.

Pang Jian happily disappeared into the depths of Mysterious Fog, no longer visible to White Crane, and called out from afar, "This Bee Insect is also my eyes. I will travel to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land through it."

"Fine, then we’ll meet in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land!"

White Crane agreed without hesitation.

It slightly slowed its rapid flight, looking back frequently to see that the Golden Bee Insect... was still keeping up with it.

"This tasty little snack is quite fast," it muttered, accelerating.

"Whoosh!"

The Bee Insect pursued relentlessly, maintaining the same speed as White Crane and never being left behind.

"I refuse to believe this!" exclaimed White Crane, dashing at full force, turning into a streak of glowing white lightning in the Mysterious Fog, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

The Golden Bee Insect was still there in the distance, never once falling behind, which shocked White Crane, who said repeatedly, "That’s no common treat; this little snack is really something, even faster than me!"

"Looks like, once we get to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, eating it won’t be possible."

...

Meanwhile, scene after scene appeared in Pang Jian’s mind.

Through the Bee Insects, he saw Zhou Qingchen, Zhao Yuanqi, and Fang Boxuan, all guided by the Bee Insects back to the Sword Boat.

As for Qi Qingsong and his two companions, because of the Spirit Sword in Zhuang Yuyan’s hand, they had already returned to the Sword Boat.

"I’ll leave the Landscape Spiritual Boat alone for now. That guy who can open his third eye seems extremely troublesome. I should pay more attention to Li Yuanchen..."

The handsome man at the place of the bird bones made him feel incredibly wary.

He felt that Zhuang Yuyan, who was advancing to Spirit Condensation, and Li Yuanchen with his significant background, might both be no match for that man.

Most importantly, he had no enmity with that man, and there was no need for them to fight to the death.

With these thoughts, he continued to observe secretly through the Bee Insects.

About half an hour later.

One Golden Bee Insect successfully found the Bright Heaven Battleship and saw Li Yuanchen, having resumed his true form, sitting amidst the battered ship, taking out a several-meter-tall black statue.

With sharp horns on its head and a tail dragging a reptile tail, the statue was clearly carved to resemble an Outer Realm Alien God.

"The situation is dire; I must succeed in Spirit Condensation as quickly as possible. I can’t keep waiting," Li Yuanchen muttered to himself.

The disappearance of wisps of silver Divine Consciousness made him feel like an Alien God from the Outer Realm was secretly targeting him.

He needed to quickly refine his Spiritual Soul and advance to the Spirit Condensation Realm to face the severe circumstances ahead.

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, two Thunder Vortices flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He stared quietly at the eyes of the Alien God statue, extracting wisp after wisp of the Divine Consciousness that was attached to the statue.

In the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, a luminous area of Thunder and Lightning was tempering the Divine Consciousness of the Alien God.

The silver Divine Consciousness he had released, consumed by the Golden Bee Insects and imprisoned in the black statue, was being reconstituted by him.

"Crack!"

The solemn and majestic black statue with its Divine Consciousness completely extracted turned into rubble on the ground.

"Rise!" commanded Li Yuanchen as a prism-shaped groove hidden inside the ship suddenly popped open the tattered deck.

"Splash! Splash, splash!"

Countless Spirit Jades mixed with twinkling Spirit Crystals like stars fell into the groove within the array.

A Bright Heaven Spirit Gathering Array, common in the Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom, appeared in an instant.

Rich, watery light of Spiritual Power rippled slowly from within the prism array, with Li Yuanchen floating down into its midst. He released the silver hammer he held and threw out the Ice Seal.

A Thunder and Lightning Sea began to form slowly, and the silver hammer floated within it, helping him protect the area above his head.

Nine Ice Seals solidified into icebergs, surrounding the battleship as if it were sunken in a deep sea of glaciers.

After making preparations, he began Spirit Condensation.

Wisps of silver Divine Consciousness were kneaded together in his Sea of Consciousness to form a small, luminous head.

This particularly unique silver Divine Consciousness with Divine insights would become the brain of his Spiritual Soul.

As for the Divine Consciousness without divinity, he used it to forge the body of the Spiritual Soul.

"It’s a pity I didn’t collect more Alien God puppets to refine more Divine Consciousness," Li Yuanchen mused slightly regretfully.

Time passed, and it was unclear how much time had gone by.

As the concentration on the Spiritual Soul reached one third of the process, at a moment when he absolutely could not be distracted or have his state of mind disturbed...

Li Yuanchen, who was meditatively breaking through with closed eyes, suddenly sensed someone appear out of nowhere, silently gazing at him.

Therefore, Li Yuanchen opened his eyes.

On the mast adorned with a flag bearing the giant words "Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom," a person stood on the very tip, quietly looking down at him.

The man wore a neat black robe, had a refined and tall physique, as well as a waxen-yellow face.

"Luo Yuan!"
