Chapter 80: The Wind Blue Kingdom

Jian Chen took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the excitement in his heart, and gradually calmed himself down. Once he was calm, he immediately closed his eyes without a moment's hesitation, absorbing the primordial energy from the heavens and earth as he usually did during cultivation. However, this time, Jian Chen was not absorbing the primordial energy for cultivation; instead, he was extracting a special kind of energy from the primordial energy of the heavens and earth, then directly absorbing it into his body.

This process sounded simple, but in reality, it was an extremely strenuous task. However, for Jian Chen, whose "divine" power was already very strong, achieving this was not particularly difficult; it merely required more mental effort.

In front of Jian Chen's powerful "divine" power, the special energy mixed in the primordial energy of the heavens and earth, which no one except the Holy Master of Light could sense, was immediately exposed. It clearly appeared in Jian Chen's perception. Then, Jian Chen's powerful "divine" power, like a powerful vacuum cleaner, crazily extracted this special energy mixed in the primordial energy of the heavens and earth, slowly gathering it towards his body and finally absorbing it.

Jian Chen was well aware that when this special energy accumulated to a certain extent, it would emit a milky white light. Therefore, to avoid such a situation, Jian Chen absorbed this special energy at an extremely slow pace, so slow that it could be described as a snail climbing a tree.

When this special energy was absorbed by Jian Chen, it immediately integrated into his entire body, and at the same time, a sense of comfort arose from the depths of his heart, quickly filling his entire body. Jian Chen felt as if his entire body was enveloped in a warm and cozy warmth, making him feel very comfortable. Basking in this comfortable feeling, Jian Chen's expression showed a look of great enjoyment.

Jian Chen's severely injured body, after integrating this special energy, began to recover at an incredibly fast rate. The speed of recovery was so fast that it left Jian Chen speechless and almost unbelievable. At this moment, he truly realized the terrifying healing power of the Holy Power of Light controlled by the Holy Master of Light in treating injuries.

"The books say that some high-level Holy Masters of Light can not only regrow severed limbs but even bring the dead back to life. It seems that these statements are not exaggerated at all. Based on the healing effect of the Holy Power of Light on injuries, perhaps some top-level Holy Masters of Light really do possess such incredible abilities," Jian Chen thought to himself. If he had previously been skeptical about the claims that high-level Holy Masters of Light could regrow severed limbs and bring the dead back to life, after experiencing the healing effect of the Holy Power of Light on his injuries, he now believed it to be true to a large extent.

Sitting on the horse, Jian Chen's "divine" power controlled the extraction of the Holy Power of Light from the primordial energy of the heavens and earth, then absorbed it at a slow and steady pace. Due to the absorption of the Holy Power of Light, Jian Chen's entire body was enveloped in a faint and peculiar energy. This peculiar energy was the special energy known as the Holy Power of Light. Even though several mercenaries were gathered not far from Jian Chen, and some of them were even powerful Grand Holy Masters, they did not notice any abnormality in Jian Chen.

The Holy Power of Light was an extremely special kind of energy. Apart from the Holy Masters of Light, other warriors could not sense its existence. Even some of the top Sky Holy Masters could not sense the Holy Power of Light in the heavens and earth. This was why the number of Holy Masters of Light in the Tianyuan Continent was so scarce. Every Holy Master of Light on the Tianyuan Continent was born with a natural connection to the Holy Power of Light, forming a shallow resonance with it from birth. Therefore, they could sense the existence of the Holy Power of Light in the heavens and earth, and as their "divine" power grew, they could gradually control this energy.

When the Holy Power of Light accumulated to a certain extent, it would emit a milky white light, only then could warriors detect its existence with their eyes. They could not sense the Holy Power of Light in the same way they sensed the primordial energy of the heavens and earth; in their perception, the Holy Power of Light was completely blank.

The night passed quickly as the caravan rushed along. No one in the caravan slept throughout the night, either focusing on recovering from their injuries or remaining highly alert, constantly watching for any signs of danger. Everyone was afraid of encountering the Cangmang Bandit Gang again.

Despite the tense atmosphere among the mercenaries, the night finally passed. However, everyone remained vigilant, even though they had traveled far from their previous location, they had not yet reached a safe place. In this area, they could still encounter bandits at any time.

If the mercenaries were in their prime, they would not fear ordinary bandits. Unfortunately, after the battle with the Cangmang Bandit Gang, they were all injured, and their numbers had significantly decreased. With their current strength, even encountering ordinary bandits would result in a tough battle.

Although they could save their lives by abandoning some of the goods, the goods they were transporting were not cheap. Unless it was absolutely necessary, neither the merchants nor the mercenaries were willing to make such a choice.

When the fiery red sun slowly rose from the horizon, Jian Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged on the horse without moving all night, finally opened his eyes. From his eyes, one could clearly see a deep sense of joy and excitement.

After a night of treatment, the severe injuries in Jian Chen's body, which would have taken at least five to six days to recover, had already healed completely. Moreover, the depleted Holy Power in his body had reached a saturated state. In other words, Jian Chen's current condition had fully reached its peak.

Furthermore, Jian Chen could clearly feel that the Holy Power in his body had grown significantly compared to the previous day.

"I never thought I could control the Holy Power of Light like a Holy Master of Light!" Jian Chen thought to himself, his heart filled with overwhelming joy. This was an unexpected discovery for him. Possessing such an ability would provide him with an additional layer of protection in the future. No matter how severe his injuries, he could recover at the fastest possible speed at any time.

While he was pleasantly surprised, Jian Chen was also amazed by the significant healing effect of the Holy Power of Light. If he had used medicine to treat his injuries, it would have taken at least four to five days to fully recover. However, with the Holy Power of Light, he had completely healed in just one night. Moreover, this was despite Jian Chen deliberately slowing down the absorption of the Holy Power of Light to avoid exposing his ability to control it.

Jian Chen was well aware that he should not easily reveal his ability to control the Holy Power of Light unless absolutely necessary. He thought through the matter thoroughly, realizing that in certain critical moments, his ability to control the Holy Power of Light could have an unexpected effect. Although the status of a Holy Master of Light was highly revered on the Tianyuan Continent, compared to his life, such a prestigious honor was insignificant.

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful for the caravan. Apart from occasionally encountering a few weak magical beasts, they did not encounter any bandits or powerful magical beasts. After several days of rapid travel, they shortened the journey that would have taken ten days to just four days. After three days of continuous travel, the caravan finally safely passed through the most dangerous part of the journey and reached the border fortress of the Wind Blue Kingdom.

Seeing the tall city walls in the distance, all the mercenaries broke into happy smiles. At this moment, they felt a great sense of relief. Although there was still a distance to travel, the road ahead was not necessarily safe, but being close to the Wind Blue Kingdom, there were small towns where they could recruit more mercenaries to boost their strength.

"We have arrived at the Wind Blue Kingdom, we have finally reached the Wind Blue Kingdom."

"Now we are safe, we don't have to worry about the Cangmang Bandit Gang catching up."

Many of the mercenaries could not help but shout out, their voices filled with excitement. Even Jian Chen could not help but smile, feeling a great sense of relief. After all, his current strength was still relatively weak, and if he encountered bandits that even the mercenaries could not resist, he would face a difficult situation.

Although the tall city walls were visible in the distance, it was still about ten miles away. As they approached the fortress, the previously quiet road began to see the occasional passing of people and caravans.

The ten-mile distance was quickly covered. When the caravan reached the city gate of the fortress, they were stopped by a guard.

"Stop, where are you from?" A soldier who appeared to be the leader scanned the caravan with a sharp gaze and shouted.

This was a routine matter for the caravan, and one of the mercenaries immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the soldier who appeared to be the leader. At the same time, a few golden light points appeared in his hand, which he carefully handed to the soldier.

The soldier carefully rubbed his fist, gradually revealing a satisfied smile. He waved his hand and shouted, "You may enter!"

Subsequently, the caravan successfully passed through the tall city gate of the Wind Blue Kingdom's border fortress and entered the territory of the Wind Blue Kingdom.

After passing through the fortress, Jian Chen felt a significant sense of security. At least, he had successfully escaped the influence of the Huayun Sect. Although the Huayun Sect had a significant presence in the Garsen Kingdom, Jian Chen believed that their influence did not extend as far as the Wind Blue Kingdom.

Not far from the border fortress of the Wind Blue Kingdom was a small city. After the caravan parked the loaded wagons, the mercenaries dispersed to rest, leaving only two people to guard the goods.

The place where the goods were parked was a designated area arranged by the guild. This area was guarded by experts dispatched by the guild to ensure the safety of the goods. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the goods being stolen.

In reality, no mercenary would dare to target the goods, as they would likely be surrounded by a large number of city guards before they even left the city gates.
