Chapter 1047: Sitting and discussing the Dao, Demon Lord inheritance
In the vast ocean, wind and waves arose.
Between the mountains, earth dragons rolled.
A pure contest of divine sense actually caused such power.
Suddenly, a mermaid figure leaped out of the sea, singing a beautiful song, smoothing the waves.
Among the mountains, there were also towering giant phantoms appearing, suppressing the balance here.
Luo Chen glanced at the two figures, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.
And opposite him, Li Canghai was even more surprised.
A contest of divine sense, even if it was just a competition and not a life-and-death struggle, was often extremely dangerous and could not tolerate the slightest negligence.
This Luo Chen actually still had the energy to pay attention to other things.
"Fellow Daoist's divine sense is powerful, why don't we stop here!"
"Hmm."
The two tacitly withdrew their divine senses at the same time, causing no damage.
Li Canghai drank a sip of spiritual wine, and his complexion finally eased.
He looked at Luo Chen and couldn't help but praise: "No wonder Fellow Daoist has killing intent, it turns out you have sharp weapons! The old man has never seen or heard of someone who has just entered Soul Transformation being able to do what you do, with a primordial spirit as stable as a mountain and a realm without any sense of emptiness; I don't know how Fellow Daoist did it."
Luo Chen smiled without saying a word.
He was indeed very different from normal Soul Transformation experts.
The essence of it was his terrifyingly abnormal soul foundation, and the fact that he had mastered three true meanings of laws while in the Nascent Soul stage.
Soul Transformation, for him, was just a matter of course.
Especially when he broke through the realm, he also took a fifth-rank Soul-Swinging Elixir, which washed away the distracting thoughts in his primordial spirit cleanly.
Therefore, he dared to go out and roam just after becoming Soul Transformation.
One must know that with Luo Chen's personality, every time he broke through a realm, he would have to stabilize for a long time before going out, not to mention fighting with others.
After witnessing the power of Luo Chen's primordial spirit, Li Canghai no longer doubted his strength.
After all, the person in front of him was a monstrous existence who had killed a Soul Transformation expert across realms while in the Nascent Soul stage.
He said solemnly: "Those two ancient monsters, their realms are only slightly higher than ours, and they are still in the early stage of Soul Transformation. Li doesn't know how their combat ability is, but it shouldn't be bad; after all, great monsters at this level have often mastered innate divine abilities, which are not necessarily worse than the divine ability techniques developed by our human cultivators."
Luo Chen asked: "Do they have handy sharp weapons?"
Li Canghai replied: "The monster race is not good at refining elixirs and casting artifacts, often refining magic treasures with the peculiarities of their bodies, which may have the power of Spirit Treasures, but they do not have the reality of Spirit Treasures. If Fellow Daoist has a Spirit Treasure, you should not be afraid of them."
Luo Chen recalled the greedy eyes of the two ancient monsters looking at his Yuan Tu Sword and Bone Burial Umbrella when the Battle of Heaven and Earth ended, and could guess that they might not have real Spirit Treasures in their hands.
At least, Li Canghai did not show such greedy eyes.
Luo Chen glanced at this world again, feeling quite strange.
Li Canghai continued: "The North Li Great Saint lives on Hanging Knife Peak, and the Sea Emperor Whale's lair is in the Sea Emperor Palace; if you want to find them, you can go to these two places……"
Li Canghai hesitated for a while, then sighed: "Actually, there is no need for fighting and killing; reaching our realm, winning or losing is easy, but if you want to discuss life and death, the price is very high."
Luo Chen snorted coldly, "They must give an explanation for offending me that day."
Li Canghai was speechless.
If it were the scene that day, if he were in his place, he would also feel angry.
If he didn't handle it well, Luo Chen might have already fallen outside Heaven and Earth Island.
"Fine." Li Canghai sighed long, "You, who have just become Soul Transformation, are always much more convenient to act than us."
Luo Chen's eyes flashed, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Canghai asked back, "After Fellow Daoist became Soul Transformation, do you have any special feelings?"
Luo Chen frowned and said truthfully: "Not free! It's as if there is a shackle on my body, and the feeling this world gives me is too narrow."
"That's right." Li Canghai nodded, then explained: "The peak of cultivation in this world, apart from the Primordial Beasts born of heaven and earth, is the Soul Transformation realm. Once you enter Soul Transformation, you have heaven and earth shackles on your body, limiting us from exerting our abilities to the fullest, which is also the origin of the rumor that Soul Transformation cultivators cannot easily act."
Luo Chen was confused, "Then how to explain that Soul Transformation experts have frequently fought in these five hundred years?"
Li Canghai sneered, "It's nothing more than breaking the shackles and putting oneself in danger."
In his subsequent explanation, Luo Chen finally understood what the "shackles" meant.
After a cultivator achieves the Soul Transformation realm, their own magic power, under the blessing of the primordial spirit, can leverage the small to control the heaven and earth energy.
Especially those who have comprehended the true meaning of laws can control more heaven and earth energy.
From this point of view, Soul Transformation cultivators can almost be counted as agents of the authority of the Great Dao of a world!
But controlling heaven and earth energy, conversely, can also be seen as being controlled by heaven and earth energy.
Shackles are formed at this time.
The earlier one achieves Soul Transformation, and the longer one stays in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the heavier this shackle becomes.
Once one fights with full strength without restraint, the shackles will be broken, and the assimilation of Soul Transformation cultivators by this world will increase in intensity.
At that time, let alone going further, even ascending to the upper realm would be a delusion.
Just like the relationship between children and parents, the more children take from their parents, the more they cannot grow themselves, and in the future, if they want to leave home to roam, their parents will not support them.
This analogy might be biased, but it roughly means that.
"But I see that the Soul Transformation experts of the Tianyuan Dao Sect don't have this situation?"
"Holy Land cultivators are different from us; they don't seek to ascend to the Immortal Realm, but merely treat the Mountain and Sea Realm as a cradle to grab resources and absorb spiritual opportunities. Even if they can't ascend in the end, they can use the sect channel to ascend…… to the Profound Realm."
A flash of light flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, "So Fellow Daoist also knows about the Profound Realm!"
Li Canghai laughed, "That place is not a secret to us. In the array inheritance of the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord, there are many descriptions of the customs of the Profound Realm."
After mentioning the four words "Heaven-Refining Demon Lord," the atmosphere between the two had a strange change.
Both of them could actually be considered disciples of the Demon Lord's inheritance.
One obtained the alchemy inheritance, and one obtained the array inheritance.
Otherwise, how could a loose cultivator, a North Sea cultivator without much background, break through to the Soul Transformation realm?
From this aspect, Luo Chen still had to call Li Canghai a senior brother.
Since the topic had reached here, Luo Chen was not coy and went straight to one of the purposes of coming here today.
"I don't know how much Fellow Daoist knows about the Land of Fallen Demons in the Sea of Sinking?"
Li Canghai looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "You have also entered it, why ask me?"
Luo Chen said calmly: "When Luo entered it back then, I was only in the Core Formation realm, did not obtain the Great Dao, did not know the height of heaven and earth, so how could I see the full picture of the Demon Lord's fallen land?"
Li Canghai was startled.
Only then did he remember that Luo Chen, whom he had always treated equally, was actually just a small Core Formation cultivator three hundred years ago.
Thinking this way, he was even more amazed at Luo Chen's outstanding talent.
Forming a core in a hundred years, condensing a baby in two hundred years, and now less than five hundred years old, but already Soul Transformation.
The length of his remaining longevity was truly enviable.
Shaking his head, Li Canghai squeezed out a bitter smile, "When Li entered back then, I was only in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and the Demon Lord's old land I saw was just the tip of the iceberg."
Afterwards, he chatted about the past like a successful person recalling the hard years of the past.
"The Sea of Sinking is known as being born for a thousand years, but it is actually just a general term; specifically, it should be fifteen hundred years."
"In fifteen hundred years, the Land of Fallen Demons has opened four times, and the fifth time, according to the date, should be coming soon. However, the Spirit-Gathering Great Array of the Sea of Sinking was destroyed by monster race experts, and I don't know if the fifth time will open as scheduled."
"When it opened for the first time, Li was not yet born, and only heard some intelligence. At that time, it was too strange, and the situation of the Sea of Sinking was unclear, so very few people went in to explore."
"The second time it opened, North Sea cultivators already knew a lot about it, and a group of people with good cultivation went in. Not many people came back, but everyone had gains, which made people jealous."
"Therefore, when it opened for the third time, the number of people who went in was the largest in history! Li also entered the Land of Fallen Demons that time."
"That time, the Yuan Demon Sect organized a huge number of people, led by the Blood Sea Old Ancestor, supplemented by twelve Nascent Soul elders of the Demon Sect, and the number of Core Formation cultivators was over ten thousand. The lineup was so magnificent that it was shocking. Apart from that, among the North Sea human cultivators, besides the old man, there were some famous powerhouses. The demon giant Hentian Old Monster, the Great Cultivator Wei Changkong, and the loose cultivator Fengling Jushi. The monster race side was not to be outdone, Bai Xinweng, Coral Master, Powerful Savage Demon Dragon, etc."
"But the exploration result that time was very shocking to the North Sea!"
Li Canghai said with lingering fear, stating the fate of most people one by one.
Just the initial test of Liwang Heaven made a large number of low-level cultivators who followed lose their way.
Luo Chen also had a deep memory of this.
If it weren't for his firm Dao heart, and the fact that he often encountered heart tribulations and obsessions during Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, having rich experience, he was afraid it would be very difficult to pass the illusion test of Liwang Heaven.
Then there was the resource-rich Five Elements Heaven; for the sake of rich resources, a group of powerhouses launched fierce battles in the Five Elements Heaven.
The monster race powerhouse Coral Master was defeated by Fengling Jushi and then swallowed by a strange beast. Wei Changkong and Bai Xinweng had a fight, both suffering losses. That demon giant Hentian Old Monster killed three Yuan Demon Sect elders alone, and was killed by the Blood Sea Old Ancestor in anger……
In the final inheritance place of Mingzhao Heaven, Wei Changkong and Bai Xinweng, who were injured, both fell. That loose cultivator Fengling Jushi was even more unlucky; before entering Mingzhao Heaven, he was sneak-attacked by the Powerful Savage Demon Dragon who liked Coral Master in hatred, and fell into the Fallen Demon Abyss. Although I don't know how Fengling Jushi escaped from the Fallen Demon Abyss later, Fengling Jushi went crazy after coming out, and became one of the three loose cultivators, the Crazy Wanderer, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy.
And among these people, the biggest thing was that the Blood Sea Old Ancestor fell into Mingzhao Heaven!
Because of his fall, the monster race, which was already restless, had thoughts, and launched a war to destroy the Yuan Demon Sect.
It was also because of this matter, plus the heavy losses that time, that when the Land of Fallen Demons opened for the fourth time, the enthusiasm of North Sea high-level cultivators was not so strong.
Everyone knew that it was extremely dangerous inside, and even Great Cultivators and Soul Transformation experts could easily fall into it, so who would dare to take the risk?
If it weren't for those whose longevity was approaching, or those with plans, and low-level cultivators fighting for their lives to break through the realm, the number of cultivators who entered the Land of Fallen Demons for the fourth time would only be fewer.
After listening to Li Canghai's reminiscence of the past, Luo Chen couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.
He originally thought that the lineup when he entered the Land of Fallen Demons three hundred years ago was luxurious enough, gathering the Nascent Soul powerhouses of the four major hegemon forces in the North Sea at that time, plus a group of monster race powerhouses.
But he didn't expect that six hundred years ago it was even more terrifying.
Nascent Souls were numerous, Great Cultivators and Great Monster Emperors were endless, and even a Soul Transformation expert went in.
"In the end, Fellow Daoist Li was still a step higher, and gained benefits under the siege of wolves!" Luo Chen sighed endlessly, and his words also carried a bit of respect.
Li Canghai shook his head, "Where is Li a step higher, it's just that I was cautious and careful, tried to avoid fighting with others, and maintained a good enough state to enter Mingzhao Heaven. And finally, I luckily passed the array world assessment and obtained the Demon Lord's array inheritance."
Luo Chen understood and did not refute.
Who among those who can cultivate to a high realm is not a cautious and careful person?
But in the end, Li Canghai obtained the inheritance, which shows that he must have something extraordinary.
But Luo Chen thought about it, Li Canghai's caution and care were indeed beyond ordinary people.
He remembered that Li Canghai achieved the Soul Transformation realm four hundred years ago.
That is to say, he entered the Land of Fallen Demons six hundred years ago and obtained the inheritance. After coming out, he didn't make a sound, and cultivated for two hundred years, successfully breaking through to Soul Transformation before starting to show his name.
This is much more cautious than himself!
Moreover, although Li Canghai later formed the Canghai Righteous Alliance, he basically didn't manage things, just used this force to collect cultivation resources specifically for him.
When the monster army escaped from the Night Demon Heaven, he didn't stand out.
After the Tianyuan Dao Sect entered the North Sea, he followed the trend and defected.
Even eighty years ago, when he and he joined forces to break into Heaven and Earth Island, after seeing the signs of the Profound Realm True Monarch descending, he was the first to run away without hesitation.
Such caution and care, plus a heart towards the Dao, if he doesn't become Soul Transformation, who should become Soul Transformation?
By his ear, came Li Canghai's regretful voice.
"Although I luckily obtained the Demon Lord's array inheritance, there was no inheritance Spirit Treasure in the Array Hall. After Li came out, I formed a force, collected resources, and spent a lot of effort, only then did I refine a Spirit Treasure that satisfied my heart according to the method recorded in the Demon Lord's inheritance."
"Is this the Mountain and Sea Seal?" Luo Chen looked around, his eyes filled with a bit of amazement.
Li Canghai smiled proudly, "Exactly! Let Fellow Daoist know, this seal contains famous mountains and seas, forming a paradise of its own. Not only can it be carried with you, for me to cultivate. It also combines offense and defense, and is no weaker than those famous Spirit Treasures."
Luo Chen complimented: "Indeed, Luo has never seen a Spirit Treasure with two artifact spirits."
That mermaid was a sea spirit, and that giant suppressing the mountains was a mountain spirit; Luo Chen had long discovered these two non-human existences.
Facing Luo Chen's compliment, Li Canghai was embarrassed for a moment.
"There is a trick in it, which made Fellow Daoist Luo laugh."
Seeing Luo Chen's confusion, Li Canghai explained briefly.
It is extremely difficult for a magic treasure to conceive intelligence, often requiring a long time to nourish, and the material itself must be excellent.
Li Canghai derived the saying that heaven and earth have spirits, and mountains and seas also have spirits, according to the principle of array formations, so he took a trick to condense two artifact spirits, the mountain spirit and the sea spirit.
Speaking of this, he was quite envious, and asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist passed the Elixir Realm assessment, you should have obtained the inheritance and Spirit Treasure of the Elixir Hall, right?"
Luo Chen said calmly: "Luo obtained the alchemy inheritance, but the Spirit Treasure…… is not destined for me."
Luo Chen briefly mentioned the self-destruction of the Heaven-Refining Cauldron, which made Li Canghai quite regretful.
He and Luo Chen became people of the same fate, obtaining the inheritance but not the Spirit Treasure.
In the sigh, Luo Chen's tone suddenly changed.
"Since you have entered the Land of Fallen Demons, you naturally know that the opportunity hidden in it is rich, far exceeding the outside world, have you never thought about entering it again?" ===== CHAPTER 1050 =====
