Chapter 1050: Demon Lord

~16 min read 3,032 words

The richness of the opportunities hidden within the Demon-Falling Land is indeed rare in the world.

Even looking at it from the perspective of Luo Chen, who has now achieved the Nascent Soul realm, there are items within that make his eyes hot.

Like the inexhaustible mineral deposits in the Thousand-Fathom Mountain, the Heavenly Soil in the Quicksand Sea, and the Fifth Tier Vermilion Bird Heavenly Fire in the Burning Purgatory, not to mention the high-level spiritual herbs seen everywhere in the Wood Heaven Plain.

These are all good things that are of great benefit to the Nascent Soul realm!

When Luo Chen went back then, he was in a hurry, his realm was not enough, and he had to guard against the Tai Sui who was with him from time to time, so the treasures he explored were estimated to be just the tip of the iceberg.

At the very least, many inheritances within Ming Zhaotian were still vacant!

High-level cultivators often learn from many masters and dabble in many families; others don't know, but Luo Chen is confident that he has the ability to obtain other inheritances.

As long as the Demon-Falling Land opens again!

But wanting to achieve this point, relying on his current methods is still somewhat difficult.

Li Canghai is different; he is an Array Dao great power, and his learning happens to originate from the Refining Heaven Demon Lord's lineage. If Li Canghai has the heart, he can certainly actively open the Demon-Falling Land.

At that time, Luo Chen entering can not only cut weeds and eliminate roots, but also take the opportunity to sweep through, making sufficient preparations for ascending to the Immortal Realm later.

Bringing more travel expenses before leaving home is never wrong.

However, facing Luo Chen's proposal, Li Canghai revealed a solemn expression.

"Luo Chen, I advise you not to make such greedy plans!"

Luo Chen's expression became serious, sitting upright, "Please give me some pointers, Fellow Daoist."

Li Canghai answered with a question: "The Blood Sea Old Ancestor's previous lesson, didn't you see it?"

Luo Chen frowned, "Does the Demon-Falling Land restrict Nascent Soul great powers?"

Li Canghai nodded slightly, his tone dull: "Indeed, the batch of people who entered back then were mostly Golden Core and Nascent Soul, and the only Nascent Soul great power was the Blood Sea Old Ancestor of the Yuan Mo Sect. Reasonably speaking, he should have suppressed everything, but he was greatly suppressed inside, unable to exert even two or three out of ten of his abilities. Therefore, when competing for the resources of the Five Elements Heaven, that Hating Heaven Old Monster dared to show his head and compete with the Yuan Mo Sect cultivators, once killing three Yuan Mo Sect Nascent Soul elders. However, the Hating Heaven Old Monster ultimately underestimated the Nascent Soul great power; even if suppressed, he was ultimately killed by the Blood Sea Old Ancestor with his own hands, leaving no bones and losing his divine soul. But the Blood Sea Old Ancestor didn't have a good time either; being in the Demon-Falling Land, he was suppressed extremely severely, and the exotic beasts and living beings inside all harbored great malice toward him! Just to break through the Quicksand Sea, he had to self-destruct the soul of a Desolate Beast Stone Dragon of the sect. Outside the Wood Heaven Plain, he was besieged by the three Fifth Tier psychic powerhouses Tai Sui, Wood Man King, and Dim Vine Crow Ancestor…… When he finally broke through the Five Elements Heaven, he was already heavily injured, and finally fell into a small inheritance world with regret."

Hearing these secrets, Luo Chen couldn't help but gasp.

Especially some of the events inside, which could vaguely match his later experiences.

For example, how Tai Sui escaped the Demon-Falling Land, and why the Stone Dragon remnant soul was left in the Quicksand Sea, and even the Yuan Tu Sword, which was only at the true artifact level at that time, could be stained with the blood of a Nascent Soul, once hailed as the God-Slaying Blood Sword.

If all this is true, then the malice of the Demon-Falling Land toward Nascent Soul cultivators is truly rare in the world.

Li Canghai stated the details of the past events in one breath, took a breath, and then continued: "After I achieved the Nascent Soul realm, I actually had ideas about the Demon-Falling Land, especially because I was urgently lacking the mineral deposits inside to refine Spirit Treasures. But after some research, I ultimately gave up."

He smiled bitterly, "Nascent Soul is not easy, this old man doesn't want to fall inside without knowing why. Fellow Daoist Luo, I advise you not to have these greedy thoughts anymore."

Luo Chen nodded solemnly, "Luo understands, thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist."

Although he was eager to cut weeds and eliminate roots, Luo Chen was not a reckless person.

The Black Demon Gu Shaoshang was already dead, and whether his sister Gu Xiaolian could walk out of the Demon-Falling Land alive was also a matter of uncertainty. The grudge between the two sides could be temporarily ended here.

It was a matter of life and death, and there was no great benefit that had to be taken like the Life Soul, so he didn't need to risk his life.

The malice of the Demon-Falling Land toward Nascent Soul cultivators might be even greater than he imagined.

Otherwise, with the Blood Sea Old Ancestor's ability, he wouldn't have ended up in that situation.

Luo Chen actively jumped over this topic and asked Li Canghai for advice on the cultivation experience of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although both were in the Initial Stage of Nascent Soul, Li Canghai had entered this realm for four hundred years, and even without anyone's guidance, he had accumulated quite a bit of cultivation experience.

Luo Chen also had no one's guidance, so the two simply said whatever they had, and exchanged with each other.

Don't say, some of Li Canghai's insights indeed verified some of Luo Chen's guesses and confusion after breaking through the realm.

"You ask about the relationship between Origin Power and the true intent of Laws of the same attribute?"

"Li is not talented, but I do have some guesses."

"If you compare a complete Law Dao to a person. Then Origin Power is the foundation, equivalent to a person's instinct to eat, drink, breathe, and sleep from birth. And other Law true intents are learning, exercising, communicating, and even mastering tools during the growth process, whether actively or passively. This is the Dao of Change!"

"Origin is the foundation, true intent is change; a complete person naturally has countless changes, and wanting to cultivate a Law to Perfection requires mastering both instinct and all changes."

"If someone can truly master all foundations and changes, then this person must be an existence who is respected as an ancestor in this Law."

"Can be an immortal, can be a Dao Ancestor!"

"Of course, that is too far from us; according to this old man's estimation, let alone mastering everything. Even if one only cultivates the most basic Origin Power to the Great Perfection state, the realm would probably not be lower than the Body Integration stage."

……

"As for how to cultivate Origin and true intent, this old man has experience with the former, but only some guesses about the latter."

"Origin Power can be seen as a person's instinct; to cultivate and strengthen it, it is nothing more than day-after-day proficiency and mastering the laws. The Primordial Spirit wanders the Origin Qi ocean, observing the concretization of Origin Laws, and it can gradually strengthen. But this process, the cultivator immerses in heaven and earth, even if the Primordial Spirit is stable, day after day, there is still the danger of being assimilated. Therefore, our cultivators must combine Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, condense Dharma Forms, and protect themselves."

"In my opinion, the cultivation of the Nascent Soul realm is the process of tempering the Primordial Spirit and condensing Dharma Forms. When the Dharma Form is Great Perfection, one can thoroughly not fear the danger of heaven and earth assimilation; at that time, wandering the Origin Qi ocean will be as one wishes."

"As for Law true intent, this old man also said before, that is the Dao of Change, not something that can be learned by observation and imitation, it must be relied on comprehension—comprehension, sudden enlightenment, and even awakening!"

……

A conversation with Canghai is better than reading books for a hundred years.

All of Luo Chen's guesses in his heart were verified, and all his confusion was swept away in a conversation.

No wonder his three major Origin Powers of Water, Fire, and Earth had no progress, while the true intent of Withering and Flourishing had increased a lot without him noticing.

Over these five hundred years, he had seen too many withering and flourishing, rise and fall.

All things in heaven and earth, the birth and death of spiritual beings.

Families and sects, the rise and fall of each other.

Everything is nothing more than withering and flourishing, repeating in cycles.

He once knew that it was so but didn't know why it was so; but after comprehending the true intent of Withering and Flourishing, these experiences and insights gradually turned into nutrients for the growth of true intent in his comprehension.

It sounds like the improvement of these true intent changes is much simpler than the improvement of Origin Power.

But Luo Chen thought about it carefully and understood that the two were fundamentally not the same thing.

Even if he had the awakening to comprehend the changes of true intent, it didn't mean he could comprehend it, because sometimes it requires coincidence to have sudden enlightenment.

One word "comprehend" has stumped how many brilliant talents throughout the ages!

Luo Chen didn't see himself as that one-in-ten-thousand genius.

In contrast, the cultivation of Origin Power has traces to follow under the summary of predecessors.

Nascent Soul, the divine soul and the Nascent Soul merge into one to achieve the Primordial Spirit. Then, with internal magic power and self-Primordial Spirit, connect to the external Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, weave self-Dharma Form, and reach the medium of communication with heaven and earth. Only then can one go further without being affected.

Luo Chen drew inferences from one instance and extended it backward.

"Doesn't that mean the next realm after Nascent Soul is to refine the Dharma Form that was finally condensed?"

Li Canghai nodded with a smile, "Fellow Daoist guessed right, but the details are different. The Dharma Form condensed by our Nascent Soul cultivators is only a virtual form. And what the Void Refinement stage needs to do is to refine the void into reality, thoroughly reborn."

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul, weaving virtual forms, refining void into reality…… step-by-step cultivation, in the process of maintaining self-will, gradually mastering Law Dao, neither being assimilated by heaven and earth, nor being able to be equal to heaven and earth, mastering part of the Law authority.

Compared to the simple accumulation and improvement of magic power during Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, once this realm is high, it becomes extremely mysterious.

But this mysteriousness made him inexplicably excited and excited.

With a long sigh, Luo Chen revealed a smile.

"Sure enough, among three people, there must be my teacher; today's exchange with Fellow Daoist is enough to save Luo several hundred years of detours."

Li Canghai waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist Luo is joking, with your talent, why need several hundred years?"

Luo Chen laughed, and since he didn't come and didn't go, it was not polite; he also actively shared his insights on soul refining.

It could be seen that Li Canghai had a strong curiosity about his powerful Primordial Spirit.

Luo Chen didn't say it before, just because the atmosphere was not right; now that the other party had shown such great sincerity, he himself was not good at being stingy.

While he was sharing, Li Canghai, like Luo Chen before, raised questions and confusion one by one.

"Illusion soul refining? Li has experimented with this method, and the Fifth Tier illusion array arranged indeed has miraculous effects."

"Splitting the divine soul, strengthening it at the same time, merging into one, doubling the foundation? This is indeed a very subtle method, but our divine soul is the top priority; if you are not careful, it will be a disaster!"

"Internal refining and external taking, supplemented by the way of external pills? It is indeed a solution, but pills that can nourish the soul are all rare treasures in the world, which can be met but not sought."

"Great Soul Pill, Soul-Oscillating Pill, this…… this…… Fellow Daoist, is this too precious!"

Talking to the end, Luo Chen actually gave away a bottle of Great Soul Pills, and a Soul-Oscillating Pill he had refined before.

After slightly checking the two pills, Li Canghai revealed a look of shock.

Especially that Soul-Oscillating Pill, which was enough to wash away the distracting thoughts of the Primordial Spirit; he finally understood why Luo Chen's Primordial Spirit was so powerful and stable when he first entered Nascent Soul.

"This pill can only be taken once in a cultivator's life; Luo has already left some for the sect. Today, receiving your guidance, what is the harm in giving one?" Luo Chen was frank and generous.

Li Canghai swallowed his saliva, and couldn't say a word of refusal in his mouth.

He put away the pills and revealed a sincere smile.

"To tell you the truth, the reason Li spoke everything I knew to Fellow Daoist before was just because I felt guilty about abandoning you on Heaven and Earth Island back then. But I didn't expect you to repay evil with kindness, which made Li somewhat caught off guard."

Li Canghai thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Li has nothing to repay, seeing that Fellow Daoist frequently paid attention to my Mountain Sea Seal before, I think you are quite curious. Since that's the case, Li will give Fellow Daoist a refining method similar to this treasure!"

While speaking, a spiritual light flashed in his hand, and a black jade slip appeared in front of Luo Chen.

"This……" Luo Chen hesitated slightly.

Li Canghai waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist don't worry, this refining method mainly records soul-drawing and spirit-binding, which has miraculous effects on mountains and seas. As for what Spirit Treasure you intend to refine, it all depends on yourself. It doesn't necessarily have to be the Mountain Sea Seal like mine."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and he put away the black jade slip.

"Since that's the case, then Luo will not be polite."

Next, Li Canghai explained some key points of "soul-drawing and spirit-binding" in detail, as well as many taboos.

Luo Chen listened carefully.

There is no sun or moon in the Mountain Sea Seal.

From the moment Luo Chen entered the Mountain Sea Seal, this discussion and exchange had lasted for a long time.

The demon monk Kong Chan, who was guarding outside, began to worry about whether Luo Chen had any accidents.

A month later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, making him very surprised.

After seeing Luo Chen, who was full of energy, he congratulated him: "It seems the Master has gained a lot from this visit to the great power Li!"

Luo Chen nodded with a smile, his mood quite comfortable.

This visit, he indeed benefited a lot.

That so-called "soul-drawing and spirit-binding" method was secondary; the cultivation experience of the Nascent Soul realm shared by Li Canghai was the top priority, pointing out the cultivation direction of the Nascent Soul realm for him.

He also didn't doubt that there was any problem with Li Canghai's cultivation experience in the general direction.

Before there was Sovereign Qixia, and after there was Divine Monarch Youli; these two were the top Nascent Soul powerhouses in the Mountain Sea Realm, and they were all existences who had condensed Dharma Forms.

From this, it can be seen that the Nascent Soul realm indeed needs to condense Dharma Forms, so that one can walk faster, more stably, and further on the Law Dao!

Seeing Luo Chen in a good mood, Kong Chan asked actively: "Master, shall we return to the Sinking Sea now?"

Regarding this, Luo Chen shook his head decisively.

"Let the Sinking Sea matter end here, let's go to the Sea Emperor Palace!"

"Sea Emperor Palace?" Kong Chan was startled, then realized something, and his face changed. "Master, that Sea Emperor Whale is a demon race great power, an ancient demon of a generation!"

Luo Chen looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Why, are you afraid?"

Kong Chan smiled bitterly, "The little monk is naturally afraid, but I just feel that the Master doesn't need to provoke that old demon."

Luo Chen snorted coldly, "This seat is not afraid, what are you afraid of, lead the way, you should know where that Sea Emperor Palace is."

Kong Chan was helpless, and had to lead the way for Luo Chen with fear and trepidation.

And in the Mountain Sea Seal.

Li Canghai looked at Luo Chen's departing back, his expression somewhat emotional.

First becoming a great power, then high-spirited, roaming the mountains and seas, how similar this is to when I organized the Canghai Righteous Alliance and drove the Northern Sea cultivators back then.

I think next, Luo Chen and the Sea Emperor Whale will surely have a confrontation, which will be extremely exciting.

It's a pity that I won't be able to see that scene.

He looked down at the Soul-Oscillating Pill he was rubbing in his hand, and a sense of excitement rose in his heart.

Just as he was thoroughly refining the Mountain Sea Seal and preparing to ascend, Luo Chen sent such a great gift, which was truly like a pillow when sleepy!

"Luo Chen, we will meet again!" ===== CHAPTER 1051 =====
