Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 38 Azure Island

At this moment, a drop of primordial essence had been fused into the core of Chen Liang's golden core, and a magical ring phenomenon that only appeared in pseudo-infant realm cultivators had also appeared around the golden core.

However, Chen Liang's cultivation aura was only at the mid-stage of Core Formation, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In addition, after breaking through to the Core Formation stage, Chen Liang quickly perfected the third level of the Great Evolution Technique.

Moreover, because he has lived two lives, he can directly cultivate the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique without having to go through the tribulations of the mortal world.

Having lived as a mortal for decades, Chen Liang had experienced countless trials and tribulations in the mortal world.

With the fourth level of the "Great Evolution Technique" combined with his naturally powerful divine sense, and now with the nourishment of the primordial marrow, Chen Liang's divine sense has shown signs of transformation, and he is not far from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

With this level of divine sense, coupled with his already extraordinary cultivation, Chen Liang knew that he should set off for the outer sea.

After stabilizing his cultivation level, he bid farewell to Chen Qiaoqian, Yuan Yao, and the others and headed towards the Starry Sky Palace.

Using the outer sea teleportation array, Chen Liang arrived directly at Silver Shark Island in the outer star sea.

Here, Chen Liang casually purchased a copy of the latest nautical chart. After gaining a better understanding of the surrounding area, he then steered the Wind Spirit Shuttle northward.

Even if you know the direction of the target, finding a specific target on the vast ocean is really difficult.

After flying for two months in the Wind Spirit Shuttle, Chen Liang began to explore the areas with dense sea fog in his direction of travel, using this method to search for his way forward.

During this period, Chen Liang mostly gained nothing or encountered all sorts of strange dangers, rarely reaping any opportunities.

After more than a month of this, Chen Liang finally found his goal.

As he passed through a thick sea fog mixed with strange starlight, a desolate, grayish-white giant island appeared before Chen Liang.

This giant island is almost as magnificent as Tianxing City, but it has little spiritual energy and few plants, making it seem far inferior to Tianxing City.

However, that's only what it looks like. Any cultivator with a bit of common sense who gets close enough to investigate will find that those grayish-white rocks are all Hunyuan Stones.

The Primordial Stone is a famous spiritual material that can conceal spiritual energy fluctuations and block divine sense detection. It is a commonly used material for cultivators to build secluded cultivation chambers.

Such things are often associated with spiritual veins. If a Primordial Stone is found in a certain place, it is almost certain that there is a spiritual vein there.

Moreover, the larger the spiritual vein, the more Primordial Stones it will produce.

Now that a whole island of Primordial Chaos Stones has appeared, one can only imagine how enormous the spiritual veins beneath it must be.

If it weren't for the fact that the Primordial Stone could conceal the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and that the perpetual thick fog and peculiar starlight surrounding this giant island were formed by a natural array, this giant island containing top-tier spiritual veins would have been discovered long ago.

Even so, in the original story, this giant island was discovered by chance hundreds of years later and was given the name Biling Island.

Chen Liang was able to discover the giant island in advance and break in thanks to his mutated divine sense and his identity as a master of formations.

Among them, the mutated divine sense allowed him to bypass the great formation and directly detect the existence of the giant island;

Chen Liang's status as a master of formations allowed him to enter this place without damaging the outer formation.

Otherwise, if the outer formation is broken, Biling Island will definitely attract all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea to fight for it. What would be the point of Chen Liang coming here then?

Conversely, with that natural formation on the outer perimeter that could trap even a Nascent Soul cultivator, this Azure Spirit Island would belong to Chen Liang alone.

Chen Liang soon stood on Biling Island and began to survey the entire island.

After making his way around and taking care of some low-level demonic beasts, Chen Liang had a general idea of ​​the situation on Biling Island.

So he carved out an entrance in a place where the layer of Hunyuan Stone was thin and would not damage the formation of Biling Island, and set up an ancient spirit-binding formation to prevent the spiritual energy accumulated in the underground spiritual veins from leaking out.

This ancient spirit-binding array is different from the spirit-binding array secretly passed down by the Qingyang Sect. It does not have the effect of concealing the cave, but its effect of sealing spiritual energy is far superior to that of the Qingyang Sect's spirit-binding array.

Then, Chen Liang entered the super-large spirit stone mine inside Biling Island.

The super-large spirit stone mine is indeed different from the large spirit stone mine. Chen Liang only drove the Gold-Eating Insects to dig out an entrance to the mine tunnel inside. The various companion spirit materials and scattered spirit stones encountered along the way had already fed more than 30,000 Gold-Eating Insects.

When Chen Liang actually entered the natural mine tunnels inside this super-large spirit stone mine, he saw a dazzling array of spirit stones of all colors.

The sight left Chen Liang momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and the swarm of gold-devouring insects flew about excitedly, frolicking and rolling around in the mine tunnels.

Chen Liang quickly came to his senses. Looking at Xiao Wu and the swarm of gold-devouring insects running around, he chuckled and then released his divine sense to search for his target.

Five Elements Jade is a top-tier spiritual material formed from a massive amount of spiritual energy from the five elements. The most precious aspect of this material is that almost any magical artifact infused with a piece of Five Elements Jade will have its power multiplied.

Therefore, Five Elements Jade is a treasure that even Nascent Soul stage monsters would covet and fight for. Once discovered, it is quickly integrated into magic weapons, and almost no Five Elements Jade circulates outside.

Moreover, Five Elements Jade is often only produced in large or super-large spirit stone mines, which makes it even more precious.

Chen Liang was in a hurry to come to Biling Island because he was looking for the Five Elements Jade.

Now, there's clearly no need to worry. Chen Liang used his near-mid-Nascent Soul level divine sense to scan the mine tunnel and quickly discovered a Five Elements Jade.

Unfortunately, this Five Elements Jade is rather small, so Chen Liang thinks it would be better to look for it again.

Over several days, Chen Liang found more than a dozen Five Elements Jade pieces. He chose the largest one, intending to refine it into his own natal magic weapon.

Prior to this, Chen Liang released tens of thousands of mining bots that he had prepared in advance.

These puppets are a type of low-level giant ape puppet recorded in the "Great Evolution Manual," with strength equivalent to the early stage of Qi Refining. Their main material for crafting only requires ironwood that is at least ten years old, making them easy for Chen Liang to cultivate.

As for the essence of demonic beasts, the Chaotic Star Sea is full of low-level sea ape essences. By integrating them into the giant ape puppets and equipping these giant ape puppets with mining tools such as pickaxes and carts, Chen Liang obtained tens of thousands of mining puppets.

Although the Gold-Eating Insects can mine minerals much faster, they cause too much damage to this top-tier spiritual vein. Chen Liang intends to use this place as a long-term cultivation ground, so naturally he won't do that.

Therefore, Chen Liang planned to let these mining puppets slowly mine this super-large spirit stone mine, since he didn't lack spirit stones at the moment.

In addition, Chen Liang did not intend to take more of the low-grade spirit stones; on the contrary, he preferred to take as many mid-grade, high-grade, and even top-grade spirit stones as possible.

Therefore, Chen Liang ordered the mining puppets not to worry about the low-grade spirit stones, but to focus all their efforts on finding mid-grade and higher spirit stones.

Even so, Chen Liang later discovered that the mining puppets had mined so many low-grade spirit stones in the process of searching for mid-grade and above spirit stones that he couldn't possibly spend them all.
