Chapter 233 : 233: The Dragon Emerges from the Great Marsh
Because of the changes that appeared after the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon was unsealed, along with acquiring the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue.
Wang Chen didn't leave immediately, but instead built a stone house in the depths of the Great Marsh and even enclosed it with a wall, turning it into a real dwelling.
Of course, Wang Chen wasn't planning on cultivating here for the long term, as the spiritual energy in the East Wasteland Great Marsh was minuscule, barely any different from that in the Great Qian.
His primary objective was to study the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.
By the afternoon, when the water vapor in the Great Marsh began to rise, Wang Chen once again invoked the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.
This precious chart had already undergone a preliminary refinement, and although it was still far from wielding its true might, some basic manipulation was no problem at all.
And just as he had guessed, the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon started to absorb the surrounding water vapor once again.
The points displayed on the cultivation panel increased accordingly.
Wang Chen didn't know what new changes would appear in this precious chart after the points reached one hundred thousand.
But he could definitely wait a day or two.
Of course, Wang Chen didn't waste any time, and while he let the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon absorb the water vapor, he began to comprehend the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue.
This comprehension took a full three days!
The Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue was a very peculiar cultivation technique, serving both to refine the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon and as an extremely profound art of illusion.
In terms of attribute, the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue was associated with water, strongest in places like marshlands.
This technique didn't perfectly match Wang Chen's main attribute, but he practiced the Five Elements Skill, which was inclusive of all five elements, so there wasn't a true barrier to learning and using the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue.
It just meant that the progress of cultivation would be slower.
But with the immortal cultivation panel, this wasn't much of a problem.
[Cultivation Technique]:
Main: Five Elements Skill (Level 9): 238/900
Subsidiary: Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method (Level 4): 63/400 Find your next tale on m-vl-em|p-yr
Subsidiary: Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue (Level 1): 1/100
In three days, he had completed the rudimentary stage of this technique, surprisingly easily to himself.
It's important to note that the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue could be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage!
Wang Chen estimated it was because his comprehension had increased to 6 points and the environment here was quite suited for practicing this technique, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to get started.
He drew the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon into his hands.
[True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon: 100000/100000]
As early as yesterday morning, the points on the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon had reached their limit.
The precious chart no longer absorbed water vapor.
But it also didn't show any new changes, as if it had eaten its fill and then lay flat.
Wang Chen was not in a hurry, as this treasure clearly contained many secrets that needed to be slowly unearthed.
With the chart in hand, Wang Chen activated the recently mastered Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue to start the refinement process.
The True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon radiated a faint glow, and the mirage dragon depicted on it gradually vanished, while a scenery of mountains and rivers emerged.
Like a dream, like an illusion, as if real and yet unreal.
Wang Chen's own mana slowly merged into this precious chart.
In the sea of his consciousness, a spiritual light flashed.
"Capture!"
The next moment, Wang Chen suddenly unfolded the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon towards the Great Green Donkey beside him.
The precious chart instantly emitted a bright light, enveloping the Great Green Donkey completely.
Before the Great Green Donkey could react, it vanished on the spot.
And on the True Form Chart, an identical donkey abruptly appeared.
It dashed frantically left and right on the painting, unable to break through the confines of the image, desperately raising its head and braying.
But there was no sound.
Wang Chen found it exceedingly interesting and through the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon, he transmitted soothing thoughts to the Great Green Donkey trapped within the painting.
The latter soon calmed down, swinging its head left and right, its big donkey eyes revealing a look of curiosity.
His adaptability was indeed very strong.
Wang Chen noticed that the point count of the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon had already dropped by more than five hundred.
He vaguely began to understand.
The points should be similar to a cultivator's mana, which would be consumed during use.
It could also be understood as the energy points of equipment!
But here, it was very easy to replenish them.
Thinking it over, Wang Chen shook the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon, "Come out!"
With a flash of light, the big green donkey appeared out of thin air, rolled on the ground, and then got up.
It brayed proudly at Wang Chen!
Wang Chen smiled and patted its head, giving the guy a Spirit Peach.
The big green donkey immediately smiled wide, happily munching on the peach and no longer angry.
Wang Chen was also very satisfied.
The True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon could actually hold living things, and it was much more convenient to hold the big green donkey than using a Spirit Beast Pouch.
And Wang Chen guessed it could even be used to hold living people!
But there was no way to test it for the time being.
Over the next few days, he focused intently on practicing the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue and on refining the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.
Altogether, Wang Chen stayed in this place for half a month.
Only then did he decide to leave.
When it was time to go, he put the big green donkey into the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon.
He then infused mana to activate this treasure.
Water vapor from all around gathered at an astonishing speed, condensing into clouds around Wang Chen.
The next moment, the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon turned into a streak of light, enveloping him in an instant, and took off with the churning clouds in front, moving faster than arrows.
The scenery around him flashed by, as Wang Chen felt like he had transformed into a Flood Dragon, riding clouds and harnessing wind above the Great Marsh, experiencing an indescribable sense of freedom and ease.
At this speed, flying non-stop, he would not need much time to cross the ten thousand miles of East Wasteland Great Marsh.
But Wang Chen also noticed that the points, or energy, of the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon were continuously dropping.
However, the drop wasn't rapid, and a hundred thousand points could last a long while.
But when Wang Chen tried to increase the altitude, he felt as if there was a suction force coming from the Great Marsh below, incessantly pulling him down.
Not only did his flying speed decrease, but the energy consumption of the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon also increased.
This reminded him of the legends about the East Wasteland Great Marsh.
Wang Chen wasn't stubborn to the point of insisting on doing something he knew to be impossible, so he immediately lowered his altitude.
Indeed, things returned to normal.
In this manner, he flew until the energy of the True Form Chart was nearly depleted.
Then he landed to rest and recover.
Although he had changed locations, the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon was still able to replenish points by absorbing the water vapor from the outside.
Thus, flying and stopping intermittently, Wang Chen's mastery over this treasure chart became increasingly proficient.
In just seven days, he flew out of the ten thousand miles of East Wasteland Great Marsh!
It is important to note that when Wang Shaoyuan first came from Great Qian to the world of immortal cultivation, crossing the East Wasteland Great Marsh had taken him nearly two years.
And among the group that accompanied him, only a very few had survived.
After leaving the East Wasteland Great Marsh, the vast plains lay ahead, with mountains in the distance forming a beautiful vista.
What brought Wang Chen relief was the presence of nature's spiritual energy here!
Although sparse, it indicated that the most difficult part of the journey was already behind him.
