Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 604 - New Starting Point

Chapter 604: Chapter 604 New Starting Point

Under the pull of an invisible force, nature’s spiritual energy quickly gathered into clouds.

Soon, a drizzle of light rain began to fall.

Countless crystal-clear droplets hit the ground and were swiftly absorbed by the thirsty soil; the seedlings, previously wilted from the sun, perked up again, regaining their vivid green hue.

Every seedling thirstily drew the nourishment bestowed by heaven and earth, joyously swaying their leaves and creating a rustling sound as they brushed against each other.

Expressing their delight.

Wang Chen felt the emotions conveyed by these sprouts and couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.

His gaze swept across the Spirit Fields in front of him, staring at the distant valley shrouded in mist.

One month ago, Wang Chen arrived at this place known as Flying Catkins Valley, then built a dwelling on the hillside ten miles from the valley and even cultivated thirty mu of Spirit Fields.

He sat down on a stone beside the field ridges, his thoughts flying back to a month ago.

That day Wang Chen had just “smuggled” himself into the Haotian Realm and, unsurprisingly, faced calamity, escaping death only thanks to the Treasure Talisman given by Ninth Uncle of the Yin Family.

Unexpectedly, he was still pursued, and a fierce battle ensued.

The opponent’s Cultivation Realm was higher than Wang Chen’s, equipped with several Magical Treasures, Talismans, and Pills, a native of the Haotian Realm through and through.

He certainly had all the advantages.

But in the end, he was still brutally defeated by Wang Chen’s Vajra Fist!

The victory was perilous and extremely lucky.

After killing the powerful enemy, Wang Chen, for safety’s sake, didn’t even loot the spoils of war and fled desperately using the Dragon Abyss Sword.

He finally shook off what might have been a predestined calamity.

Yet Wang Chen was acutely aware that the trials he faced were just beginning, and who knows how many more hardships and dangers lay ahead.

The Haotian Realm was certainly no paradise!

“Big Brother Wang!”

A crisp calling voice suddenly interrupted Wang Chen’s reverie.

He looked towards the source and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in plain clothes running towards him along the path.

A small black and white dog followed behind him.

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Hu, why are you here? Don’t you have lessons today?”

The boy, with a headstrong and robust appearance, was named Zhang Zhuanghu, and Wang Chen had encountered him by chance during his escape.

At that time, the kid was surrounded by two Monster Beasts, trembling atop a tree, his life hanging by a thread until Wang Chen intervened to save him.

It was on the strength of this act of saving his life that Wang Chen managed to gain a foothold here.

Because this area belonged to the sphere of influence of Flying Catkins Valley!

“I’ve already finished my lessons for today!”

Zhang Zhuanghu, panting, ran up to Wang Chen and triumphantly pulled out a basket of peaches from his Storage Bag, “Big Brother Wang, these are the freshly ripened Spirit Peaches from home, try them and see if they’re tasty!”

Zhang Zhuanghu’s family of five lived inside Flying Catkins Valley, as members of Flying Catkins Camp.

Flying Catkins Camp, a Loose Cultivator force, had a population of three to four thousand people, led by a Golden Core True Person.

Zhang Zhuanghu’s father, Zhang Mushan, held some status within Flying Catkins Camp, and it was thanks to his assurance that Wang Chen set roots outside Flying Catkins Valley; otherwise, he would not even have had the privilege to stay.

Currently, Wang Chen was considered a provisional member of Flying Catkins Camp, and he had to prove he wasn’t a “spy” sent by some Immortal Clan and pass the corresponding tests to truly join this Loose Cultivator force.

Actually, whether he could join Flying Catkins Camp was of little importance to Wang Chen.

But his knowledge of Haotian Realm was indeed limited, and he needed time to gradually integrate into this new world.

Joining Flying Catkins Camp wouldn’t be the worst choice!

“Thank you.”

Wang Chen didn’t hesitate; he took a juicy peach, brought it to his mouth, and took a bite.

The flesh was sweet and delicious, imbued with abundant spiritual power, and tasted quite good.

“Delicious!”

Wang Chen gave a thumbs-up.

It was rather frustrating to think about it; he had originally stored a large amount of Spirit Rice and Beast Meat in his Sumeru Ring.

Never in a million years did he expect that due to the different laws between the Haotian Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm, not only would the talismans and pills from the latter be inoperable here, but even the food materials would also be exceptions.

It was completely unexpected!

The valuable Spirit Rice would just blacken and stink the moment it was removed from the Sumeru Ring.

It was completely inedible!

That was something Wang Chen hadn’t anticipated, and Ninth Uncle hadn’t mentioned it to him earlier.

Fortunately, Wang Chen had killed two Monster Beasts while saving Zhang Zhuanghu, and with the help he got from Zhang Mushan, he had managed to avoid going hungry during this time.

Wang Chen practiced both spell and physique cultivation; to maintain the strength of his physique, he couldn’t rely on the abstaining practiced by those who partook only little food and drink.

His usual food consumption was quite substantial.

To fill his belly, Wang Chen bought some Spirit Seeds through Zhang Mushan.

He was going back to his old trade.

Planning to stay here for a year or two, Wang Chen figured it was essential to do some farming.

And his most skilled side job was, without a doubt, farming!

“All for you.”

Zhang Zhuanghu pushed the basket towards Wang Chen, “If you finish it, we still have more at home!”

Wang Chen smiled and shook his head.

The Loose Cultivators in the Haotian Realm didn’t differ much from those in the Mountain and Sea Realm; they led lives where their survival was not guaranteed from one day to the next. Zhang Mushan’s family had both aged and young to support, and their lives were quite straitened.

A basket of Spirit Peaches was quite a treasure.

Seeing that Wang Chen refused to accept it, Zhang Zhuanghu sniffled and said, “Big Brother Wang, are you free tonight? My dad wants to invite you over to sit for a while, he says he has something to discuss.”

“He killed a young wild boar today…”

The youth couldn’t resist licking his lips, “He said he’s going to prepare a charcoal-smoked pig to treat you, you must come, Big Brother Wang!”

Wang Chen was amused by his drooling anticipation, “Alright then.”

“Great!”

Zhang Zhuanghu was overjoyed and stuffed the basket into Wang Chen’s arms.

And off he ran.

“I’m going to tell dad right now!”

Poor little spotted dog, which had just come running over, had no time to catch its breath before it had to run back with its young owner.

Yapping in a rush!

Wang Chen smiled pleasantly and put the Spirit Peaches into the Sumeru Ring.

At that moment, the clouds of spiritual energy above the Spirit Fields dissipated, and the Cloud Rain Jue he had just cast became ineffective.

Although the spells Wang Chen mastered in the Mountain and Sea Realm could still be used in the Haotian Realm, their power and duration were far inferior.

However, as time passed, Wang Chen became increasingly adapted to the environment of the Haotian Realm.

The effects of casting these spells gradually improved.

In any case, things were moving in a positive direction.

Therefore, Wang Chen decided to grit his teeth and endure for a while, building up enough strength before making any further plans.

It was said that the Haotian Realm was boundless, and the Nine States occupied by the human race alone were each more vast than the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

The Nine States were but a very small part of the Haotian Realm!

Wang Chen hoped that one day he could fly freely with Sword Control, traversing the blue sky, obtaining great freedom, and exploring all of Haotian.

Only then would his life not be in vain!

Just as he was getting ready to return to his residence, suddenly several figures shot towards him at great speed.

They landed beside the Spirit Fields.

Wang Chen frowned.
