In the endless chaos, Shen Qing felt everything around him becoming hazy and illusory.
After a fierce battle with Ji Zikong, his Spiritual Power had nearly been exhausted, and using the Great Void Shifting Technique became extremely strenuous.
Every minute and every second were exceptionally difficult; his body felt heavier and heavier.
But he dared not slacken or pause for a moment.
He worried that once he slowed down, Ji Zikong would catch up to him.
Now extremely weak, he had no strength left to face Ji Zikong’s techniques.
Shen Qing’s fingers trembled slightly as he lightly touched the Hundred Treasure Pouch and drew out a Jade Token rich with Spirit Essence.
The Spirit Essence contained within was enough to drive many people mad, it was a precious Spirit Mechanism.
But at that moment, without any hesitation, Shen Qing took it out, intending to use it.
He formed a spell with his hands and began to refine the Jade Token.
The smooth Jade Token burst into a gentle glow, like a bright star in this chaotic realm.
Dense Spiritual Energy poured forth, infiltrating his body and through the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, transforming into pure and untainted Spiritual Power that infused his depleted physical body.
Soon, one Jade Token was used up.
Without hesitation, Shen Qing took out a second one.
At this critical time, it was not the moment to cherish these external possessions.
These precious Jade Tokens could not support his nearly extinguished body indefinitely.
As the Spirit Essence of the last Jade Token was depleted, Shen Qing clearly perceived that he had reached his limit and could no longer continue recklessly.
Otherwise, he would surely be devoured by the chaos.
Shen Qing gathered all his concentration, mobilizing the last bit of strength in his body to activate the Three-legged Furnace.
The Three-legged Furnace shuddered, violently breaking free from the confines of chaos.
The sky was a clear azure, vast and boundless.
Sunlight streamed down, making all things glisten.
In this serene and peaceful scene, a stark black rift abruptly appeared in the sky.
This rift grew larger and larger until it became as tall as a person.
The next moment, a person and a furnace surged out from the crack.
It was Shen Qing, who had crossed through the void.
At this moment, he was completely drained, having lost all control, his body free-falling towards the earth; the ancient Three-legged Furnace also tumbled down through the air following Shen Qing’s descent.
With a thud, Shen Qing crashed heavily onto the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
The impact shook his Qi-Blood violently, making him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of foul blood.
This was still the result of his strong physical body.
Otherwise, an ordinary person falling from such a height would have likely been smashed to pieces.
Shen Qing took a deep breath, continuously regulating his breathing, trying to rapidly recover.
His whole body was weak, he couldn’t even move a finger.
But Shen Qing realized his injuries were too severe.
His Primordial Spirit was damaged, and his meridians were also harmed by Sword Qi; regaining Essence Qi was not something that could be done in a short amount of time.
This left him feeling quite helpless.
Shen Qing turned his head to look around and saw that he was lying on yellow soil; an endless expanse of barren land and wheat fields dyed a ghostly green.
"Where is this?"
If he remembered correctly, the northwest region of Great Zhou was known for its yellow soil, with the locals mainly living on wheat and tobacco cultivation.
The place was approximately three thousand miles away from the Capital City.
That is to say, he had traveled three thousand miles in just a few moments by crossing through void space.
Shen Qing thought about this and found it even more unbelievable.
Time passed by slowly, and Shen Qing circulated the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, gradually recovering his cultivation.
To his surprise, the spiritual energy here was terribly thin, merely one-tenth of that in the Capital City or even in Yongzhou.
Such an environment made it very uncomfortable for him, a martial master of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Continue your adventure with freewebnovel

After half an hour, Shen Qing finally regained a bit of mobility, enough to turn his body and move his fingers.
At this rate, it looked like it would take a day or half a day of cultivation.
Just then, Shen Qing heard the sound of wagon wheels turning in the distance.
Following the sound, he saw a dark-skinned little boy driving a donkey cart coming his way.
Upon sighting Shen Qing, the boy froze for a moment.
He hurriedly jumped down from the cart and grabbed the donkey.
The boy looked at Shen Qing with wariness, his large, pitch-black eyes sizing him up continuously, then suddenly focused on the Three-legged Furnace next to him.
His eyes lit up, he ran over hastily, grabbed one of the legs of the furnace, and took off running.
The donkey behind him couldn’t even keep up with his pace.
It left Shen Qing speechless.
However, with his movement currently impaired, he couldn’t chase after the boy.
He could only watch helplessly as the little boy ran into the distance and vanished from his sight, turning into a black dot.
"Forget it, I’ll go find him after I’ve recovered my ability to move. With my Divine Sense and the power of my Primordial Spirit, it won’t be hard to find the boy."
Shen Qing murmured to himself, making a plan in his heart, and focused on cultivating to restore his energy.
What he hadn’t expected was that, after a while, the little boy returned, accompanied by a few peasant men.
Seeing Shen Qing’s outfit, although it was largely torn and smeared with blood, those who had seen a bit of the world recognized it as high-quality golden silk—
a luxury not just anyone could afford.
He realized Shen Qing’s identity was not ordinary.
"What do we do?"
"Erdan took his stuff, will he blame us? He can’t seem to move much, should we just finish him off?"
"Don’t be rash! I think this man is extraordinary, like a martial artist. I’ve heard that martial masters in the cities can’t even be scratched with a hoe. If we can’t kill him, we’ll just make an irreversible enemy. The village might even get dragged into it."
"Then Chen Gouzi, you always have the most ideas, what do you suggest?"
After pondering for a moment, a man named Chen Gouzi said, "He looks immobile for now, let’s go and apologize first, see what kind of person he is. If he’s a good man, we’ll save him. If he’s ruthless, we’ll have to finish him off even if our hoes break."
"Alright, let’s do as you say!"
Chen Gouzi took a deep breath, attempting to stay calm.
He called out to Erdan, "Come over here!"
The little boy Erdan followed nervously.
With Erdan beside him, Chen Gouzi approached Shen Qing and bowed deeply, saying humbly, "Esteemed sir, my child is ignorant and took your possession—please have a large heart and forgive this offense."
With that, he signaled to Erdan.
Erdan quickly returned the Three-legged Furnace.
Shen Qing observed the group without concern and asked, "Where is this place?"
Seeing that Shen Qing didn’t seem too upset, Chen Gouzi answered, "This is Shangao Village."
"Jinzhou?"
"It’s still a few hundred miles from Jinzhou; this is just a poor rural area."
Shen Qing nodded to indicate he understood.
Chen Gouzi, relieved to see that Shen Qing wasn’t a terrifying figure, cautiously asked, "Sir, have you run into some trouble? Do you need our help?"
