Xiao Chen moved away from the depths of the coconut grove and began to observe the vast ocean attentively. Recalling the frightful scene of the huge monster flaunting its strength in the ocean. That really was an exceptionally vicious beast!
After a night of rehabilitation, Xiao Chen’s body felt much better. As long as he didn’t move around too violently, his wounds shouldn’t obstruct his actions. Laying down on the beach while facing the morning sun, he began to gather the worldly essence and practice the mysterious training method from the ancient tablet. His entire body was as still as a pine tree.
The gentle morning sun shone upon Xiao Chen’s body, and his breathing was consistent and smooth. One after another, miniature light rays that couldn’t be seen by the naked eye rushed forth and breached his skin before entering his body. The light rays were moving about energetically within his body.
Xiao Chen was rather proficient in meditation as he had studied the mysterious Qi-Training Diagram since childhood. The entrance to a vast divine palace was already slowly opening up for him!
The rising morning sun was emitting multicolored rays of light.
Xiao Chen began to divide his breathing into a stable tempo, and a magnificent golden ray entered his body each time he inhaled. He guided the air through his flesh and into his internal organs and bones, allowing the golden rays to rush forth into every inch of his body. As he breathed out, the impure power within the internal organs, bones, and flesh were all expelled out of his body through his skin.
His flesh was being purified and improved by the purest energy, causing his physique to constantly change day after day, and year after year.
The essence of training was to constantly break through the limits of the human body, and constantly transform the body in order to raise it to a higher level. Xiao Chen firmly believed that sooner or later, he would break through the boundary between life and death and take a step into the realm of immortals. As described in legends, he would then become one of those people whose names had shaken the world for eternity!
A lot of shells, shrimps, crabs, sea urchins, as well as some other lively saltwater fishes were left on the beach after the morning tide retreated, making Xian Chen’s breakfast incomparably sumptuous. The flame was throbbing about at one side of the coconut grove, and on top of the flame was a shell about the size of a washbowl. Coconut juice was being boiled inside of the shell while the seafood was already releasing alluring aromas.
After enjoying the sumptuous meal, Xiao Chen decided to investigate the circumstances of the terrain within the vicinity to find a place to stay temporarily.
Beyond the coconut groves was a forest that was even more concentrated. The area was full of vitality, thick foliage and an abundance of vegetation. There were Parashorea Chinensises ⌈¹⌋, white Costus Roots ⌈²⌋, yellow Aleurites Cordatas ⌈³⌋, olive trees, palm trees, rubber trees, and so on. Ancient trees of great height hid the sky and covered the earth.
When Xiao Chen entered the territory of the seabirds, countless seabirds in the jungle were frightened and flew off. These seabirds began to circle the horizon while chirping, the feathers of the birds filled the entire sky as they fluttered while gently floating downwards.
A thick layer of bird excrement covered the ground, there were bird nests everywhere from the branches all the way to the ground. One could clearly see bird eggs everywhere, there were even nestlings crying piteously for food. Countless fully grown seabirds were flying in circles while crying out in fear.
Only after he left the jungle for an extremely long time did that place slowly regain its previous tranquility.
Walking forwards for roughly one and a half to two kilometers, Xiao Chen entered a primitive and ancient region of the forest. The roots of the thousand years old ancient trees were twisted into a
