Upon hearing that he might get trapped and unable to get out, Chen Xiao's expression suddenly became solemn.

Li and Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao brother. Bad luck like this has only happened once in thousands of years."

Shi Fengdu nodded: "Not bad. Don't be nervous, brother."

Chen Xiao smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Shi, please forgive me for making fun of you. Please continue."

Shi Fengdu continued.

Unlike the teleportation vortex, not every realm has a Atlas Tower. There is no need to mention the Micro Realm, the Small Realm will definitely not have one, the Middle Realm will have one randomly, and the Great Realm will definitely have one - the number is uncertain, between three and five.

No one knows how this rule was created. Even if you feel it is unfair, there is no way to change it and you can only be forced to get used to it.

Fortunately, if Chen Xiao wants to go, he doesn’t have to go to another heavenly realm. There is one in Taizhen, just on the other side of the peninsula.

There are strict restrictions on entering the Shenzhou Atlas, and one must be at or above the Foundation Establishment Stage. If the portal is based on physical fitness, then the Atlas Tower is based on mental strength.

In the Shenzhou Atlas, practitioners can use whatever they carry with them at will, but the materials obtained in the Shenzhou Atlas can only be used for transactions in the Shenzhou Atlas.

The only way to take away the materials in the Shenzhou Atlas is to carry them with mental power. For example, use mental power to contract with living things and use mental power to refine items.

However, there are very few people who have mastered the method of refining with mental power. To use the mental power contract, one must provide for living creatures. Ordinary creatures are fine, but not everyone can afford to raise a spiritual beast.

What Li and Zhou had said before was that Chen Xiao should use his mental power to contract a flying spirit beast or bird of prey, raise it in his sea of ​​consciousness and bring it out, and then he could master the ability to float and fly by relying on the contract between them.

However, this floating method consumes not true essence but mental power, and cannot be used by people who do not have strong mental power. Li and Zhou happened to know that Chen Xiao's mental power was very strong, so he did not need to draw talismans when using it to travel, and it would be a waste if the mental power was not used, which could just solve his travel problem.

Shi Fengdu also told him that this method was only a temporary stopgap measure.

Once he learns some technique to levitate, the contracted soul beast can be released.

However, when releasing the creatures, you have to choose the Shenzhou Atlas. If they are in the heavenly world, the creatures will die soon, no matter if they are spiritual beasts or not.

Chen Xiao was very excited after hearing this, but what made him make up his mind in the end was that the Shenzhou Atlas connected the Great Heaven Realm, allowing people who were originally separated from two worlds to meet on one piece of land.

Although it seemed unlikely, Chen Xiao still had a fantasy in his heart. How wonderful it would be if he could meet his elder brother there...

After making the decision, Chen Xiao quickly prepared himself. Du Rong wanted to go with him, but Chen Xiao had something else for him to do, so he didn't agree.

Du Rong left Dai State with him, and it has been four or five years since then. Although Du Rong had been away from home for many years in the past, this was the first time he had no news for such a long time.

Chen Xiao specially gave him a holiday, asking him to go back to his hometown to deal with family affairs. He also went to Fan Village to help him visit his original uncle's family and ask if they needed any help. If there was any situation, he would let Du Rong handle it as appropriate.

He personally went to the Island Lord's Mansion and asked Shi Fengdu to help someone from the Island Lord's Mansion send a letter to Xi Yunting to tell him about his whereabouts.

It's not that he didn't want to do this through Zhishitang, but the people in Zhishitang were of mixed quality. He didn't know whether the person who accepted his task was qualified to enter the Zhongxuan Sect. Whether he could complete the task successfully was a small matter, and it would be terrible if he missed Xi Yunting.

Chen Xiao and Du Rong set out on the same day. They asked Qian Chuan to look after the family, and to go to Li Yuzhou if there were any problems. If that didn't work, they would ask for help from the Island Master's Mansion.

The two of them left Tangyan Street, one went to the vortex portal and the other went to the ferry.

The boat ticket had been bought long ago. This time, Chen Xiao took a super-large ship driven by spiritual power and stayed in a first-class luxury cabin.

Those who operate shipping on Yingxian Island include immortal cultivators and secular forces from half-generation families. Even the latter have deep immortal cultivator backing.

Shipping has been divided up cleanly among various forces, and has been operated in an orderly manner for thousands of years, with all parties satisfied with it.

It's like this first-class luxury cabin where Chen Xiao lives. If he doesn't want to be disturbed, he will turn on the do not disturb function. Unless the ship reaches the destination and the captain comes to knock on the door in person, other people cannot get close to him on weekdays.

If you want to carry out activities, the middle floor not only has a variety of shops that provide comprehensive consumption venues, but also has teahouses and restaurants where you can exchange information.

Or someone wants to socialize and make connections. There is a large hall on the upper floor, where there are different themed banquets every day, with a wide variety of styles and no repetition.

Chen Xiao only wandered around for a few days, sat in the teahouse, and listened to a lot of gossip. When someone found out that he was the Feng Shui master who had recently gained fame, they inevitably invited him to a banquet.

Chen Xiao only went there once, and became annoyed by the pestering.

There were too few people worth making friends with, and few of them came to talk with a sincere purpose. Some wanted to get more information about the Dharma Assembly from him, to find out the details of the great men who attended the assembly, or some wanted to use him as a stepping stone to curry favor with the Island Master's Mansion and Shifeng Ferry.

The fare for this ship is too high. Those who take the ship are either the children of wealthy families, disciples of immortal sects with strong financial resources, or senior practitioners.

Most of them were in the foundation-building stage, a few were in the golden elixir stage, and only a very small number of them were high-level cultivators. Even if they didn't mean to look down on him, they didn't take Chen Xiao seriously.

This is how it is in the world of immortal cultivation. Chen Xiao became famous this time not by his own cultivation, but by relying on a niche and obscure main job. They felt that they had nothing to ask for, so naturally they would not be too polite.

He could still tolerate their lack of interest in Feng Shui, but he felt bored when they showed no respect for him and thought there was no need to continue socializing with them.

After turning on the do not disturb function, Chen Xiao simply stayed in the room and did not go out.

Because his mental energy will have to support one more creature in the future, Chen Xiao doesn't know how much of it will be consumed every day.

——Although Li and Zhou didn’t tell him much, Chen Xiao still felt a little unsure.

Chen Xiao would use his vital energy to draw talismans every day, consuming all his mental power at the same time. Due to his perseverance, his mental power, which was already stronger than that of people of the same age and level, increased a lot.

In order to ensure that he would have enough mental power in the future, Chen Xiao began to concentrate on drawing Yuan Qi paper talismans. On the one hand, it was to exercise his mental power, and on the other hand, it was to accumulate more Yuan Qi talismans just in case.

Not only the commonly used ones, but also some heart-clearing talismans, spiritual talismans, and spirit-refining talismans that had never been used or drawn before were also drawn.

After drawing the paper talisman, Chen Xiao will practice body movements.

The deluxe room was large, but it was not big enough for a lot of running. Chen Xiao practiced small-scale maneuvers and ran on the wall.

After practicing his body skills, he started practicing his sword skills. Because he had no corresponding skills to support him, Chen Xiao's sword skills improved the slowest, but he could still barely compete with high-level martial arts practitioners.

Finally, I'll take care of my magic knife Zhengge, and the daily regular practice will be basically completed.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao would go to the window and enjoy the sea view for a while.

The waters of Taizhen Tianjing are much more lively than those of Gengsheng. From time to time, Chen Xiao can see groups of blueback whales passing by. There was one time when he even happened to encounter a large group of tuna hunting together.

Not only the various fish species in the ocean bring fun to Chen Xiao, Taizhen Tianjing is a place with many islands. Every once in a while, he will see green islands appear in his sight, and at this time, the first ones to arrive are often seabirds.

These seabirds are quite brave and will fly up and down around the ship, seemingly looking for food.

Chen Xiao felt itchy after seeing this, so he crushed up the ordinary dry food he had prepared for fear that the seabirds would get tired of the training rations and fed them to them.

When the seabirds saw someone feeding them, they hovered outside his window and did not give up until the ship was far away from the island.

After resting and regaining his energy, Chen Xiao sat at the desk again, studying Feng Shui or recording his thoughts.

Over the years, the random notes he made could fill up a desk if you put them together, and he has accumulated five books.

The people on the boat gradually shifted their attention because he had not appeared for a long time.

Chen Xiao spent the rest of his time in this busy and fulfilling way. When he came to his senses, the ship had already docked and entered the port. Seeing that he did not come out, the captain had no choice but to come over and knock on the door through his authority.

After thanking the captain, Chen Xiao was the last one to get off the ship.

As soon as we left the range of the ship, a cold wind blew towards us.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He looked up and saw that the sparse leaves on the big trees near the port had turned yellow, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground.

The peninsula is to the south of Yingxian Island. It seems that he has moved away from the subtropical zone with comfortable temperatures all year round and returned to the temperate zone with distinct four seasons.

Exhaling a breath of light white mist, Chen Xiao took out thick clothes. He did not wear a robe anymore, but a training suit that was convenient for movement.

To be honest, he always had someone accompany him during each training session, so he felt both nervous and excited about this solo trip.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Xiao took out the map he had bought at Zhishitang, opened it and took a look, memorized the route again, and then walked towards the port.

Outside the port is a wide street with people and cars coming and going on the street. Although Chen Xiao knows that most of them are practitioners, he can feel a kind of friendly and worldly bustle from them.

Chen Xiao didn't stay any longer and went straight to the market. The market was large and crowded.

The specialties and items from Yingxian Island and nearby islands will be scattered from here to the entire peninsula area, while those produced on the peninsula will be gathered here and loaded onto ships for shipment to Yingxian Island.

Chen Xiao asked a few people, gave them some money, and bought a scaly horse with the best legs and feet from the one that was recommended the most times.

Then he mounted his scaly horse and began to head south.

Chen Xiao followed the plan and traveled step by step. He would stay overnight when it got dark and set off when it got light.

As he headed further south, the temperature dropped, and the wind gradually became colder. One day, snowflakes began to fall, and they kept falling all day and all night.

Traveling in such weather, not only did Chen Xiao feel cold, but the horses also had difficulty moving forward as the road was blocked by snow.

Just as Chen Xiao was worryingly wondering whether he would have to brave the severe cold and use his physical skills to move forward, a special group of traveling merchants appeared before him.

It turned out to be a group of people driving sleds, using strong gray deer to pull the carts!

These gray deer are strong, with a pair of thick antlers with more than a dozen branches on their heads. They have thick fur and strong legs, and can run very fast in the snow.

Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately rushed to the group of people and discussed with the caravan leader for a long time. He exchanged a scaly horse and several spirit coins for one of the sleds and eight gray deer.

Because the end of the road is the Tulu Pagoda, many practitioners walk there every year. In order to facilitate travel, Zhishitang specially built this flat and spacious road. Moreover, it does not prohibit mortals from using it.

The mortal countries along the way benefited from it, and many citizens relied on this road to transport goods and became rich. This made the road crowded with people, and even in winter, some people traveled without fear of the severe cold.

Merchants were profit-driven, so even though the loss of a sled meant that a batch of goods had no vehicle to carry them, they still made a huge profit.

Chen Xiao sighed in his heart, in this place close to the mundane world, the purchasing power of spiritual coins is so strong.

Waving the whip in his hand happily, Chen Xiao used the unfamiliar skills he learned from the caravan to drive the gray deer on the road.

The flat terrain was left behind, and the mountains rose from the horizon. The road built by Zhishitang used the methods of the immortals, which were more powerful than technology. When there was a mountain blocking the road, it was directly split in the middle.

Chen Xiao was wrapped tightly, and he struggled to raise his head from among the layers of scarves. He looked at the smooth mountain walls thousands of feet high on both sides, and was so amazed that he was speechless.

The mountain was getting higher and higher. When it reached a point where the builders couldn't cut through it, Chen Xiao had no choice but to walk around the mountain along the road buried under the thick snow. These cultivators probably never thought of digging a tunnel, so he could only walk the winding path honestly.

Two months after leaving the port, he finally arrived at the end of his journey, which was also the southern border of Taizhen Heaven Realm, where the Tu Lu Tower was located.
