Chapter 1064: Mahakala, Luo Chen Burns Incense

"Spirit-Transforming Crystal, it is actually this kind of ancient legendary object!"

Inside the flying shuttle, Luo Chen held a fist-sized crystal, and he seemed to still be able to feel some of the previous warmth in his hand.

This was the essence of that massive extraterrestrial star, which finally landed in the Shanhai World after traveling countless light-years.

Running all the way, the loss was huge, and it took a direct hit from Luo Chen’s "Thousand Heavens Combined Flow," and in the end, only this much was left.

After identifying the origin of this object, Luo Chen finally realized why the shooting star could withstand a strike of "Thousand Heavens Combined Flow."

Spirit-Transforming Crystal!

It is a very special material.

It can absorb, digest, and even reverse and pour out the magic power converted from the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

It is said that in ancient times, a Soul Transformation Great Expert of the Tianyuan Dao Sect excavated a Spirit-Transforming Crystal from the Shanhai World and used it as a foundation to refine a magic treasure called the [Mirror of Inverting Yin and Yang]. Relying on this magic treasure, he dominated, killed the Great Wilderness, defeated Great Experts of other holy lands, and finally ascended gracefully.

That Mirror of Inverting Yin and Yang was claimed to be able to completely absorb the enemy's killing moves and even perfectly bounce them back; it was truly an incredible top-tier spirit treasure.

But in Luo Chen’s view, using Spirit-Transforming Crystal as the main material for an offensive magic treasure was truly a bit wasteful.

This object can absorb, digest, and even bounce back, but the power of the bounce is limited. If it encounters an attack higher than its own strength, not only will it fail to bounce back perfectly, but because it cannot digest it, it will cause the owner of the magic treasure to bear the full ten percent of the attack.

That is too risky!

Conversely, if this object is refined into a pure defensive magic treasure, the effect of absorbing and digesting magic power can be maximized.

Moves cast by those whose strength is lower than or equal to one's own will be perfectly defended against.

Even if one encounters an enemy whose strength greatly exceeds one's own, relying on the uniqueness of the Spirit-Transforming Crystal, one can still dissipate most of their attack!

It is truly the most coveted refining material for all defensive magic treasures!

"The Bone Burial Umbrella has been obtained for a long time. After I added a large amount of materials to melt it, it still hasn't fully recovered. Now that I have the Spirit-Transforming Crystal, perhaps there is a chance to completely repair it."

Luo Chen calculated slightly, and his heart was already made up.

He didn't have many defensive magic treasures; the Hunyuan Cauldron was for both offense and defense and was not considered. The rest were only the Bone Burial Umbrella and the Xuan Chen Armor.

The latter had a decent foundation, but the time for refining was only four hundred years after all; wanting to advance to a spirit treasure could not be done just by melting one or two materials.

The Bone Burial Umbrella itself was at the level of a spirit treasure, and after incorporating the Spirit-Transforming Crystal, perhaps it could be repaired as before.

At that time, the Yutu Sword would be for attack, the Bone Burial Umbrella for defense, and the Hunyuan Cauldron for both offense and defense, as well as suppression and control effects, combined with his own spells and divine abilities, then his fighting in the Soul Transformation stage would have no more shortcomings!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen had no more hesitation.

His fingertips trembled, and a wisp of cyan-white flame rose slowly.

It was the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire!

Once this fire appeared, it burned on Luo Chen’s fingertips with quite a bit of spirituality, and even began to scorch Luo Chen with its flames.

It was just that the degree of scorching was very low, more like an intimate act of teasing and touching.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.

After devouring the massive vitality of the four Grade 5 Great Wilderness physical bodies, the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire finally recovered, and its spirituality even advanced a step further.

In terms of refining tools and pills, Luo Chen preferred to use the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire that had accompanied him for hundreds of years rather than the Nirvana Sacred Fire; there was no other reason, just habit.

"It’s just a pity for that Shark Emperor True Flame, which was lost in the battle of heaven and earth."

Looking at the intimate actions of the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire, Luo Chen felt some regret for the dark blue flame obtained from the Shark Emperor Liu Jun.

That was a high-level flame inherited by the Shark race for thousands of years, belonging to the water-cold attribute; although it had impurities, its foundation was not bad.

After removing the impurities, as long as it was well-nourished, after a few hundred years, it could also advance to Grade 5 like the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire.

But in order to kill the Dao Sect Great Expert Ancestor Lian Cheng, Luo Chen fused the Shark Emperor True Flame, the Nirvana Sacred Fire, and the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire into one, and used the Three-Flame Fan to strike a terrifying blow.

The Nirvana and Withering-Prospering fires could naturally retain their fire seeds by relying on their own deep foundations, but the Shark Emperor True Flame, which had not reached Grade 5, was not so lucky.

After the battle, the fire seed was completely extinguished.

If it were to reappear in the Shanhai World in the future, it would probably only be able to rely on the oil lamp in Xiao Bai’s hand, supplemented by Shark oil, to nourish it bit by bit.

The Withering-Prospering Divine Fire and Luo Chen were connected in heart, and at this moment, it seemed to be able to feel his emotions. Coupled with the experience of living in the Purple Mansion with the blue fish fire spirit back then, it also had some feelings of shared sorrow and pity, and couldn't help but emit warm flames to brush over Luo Chen.

"Alright, let's start melting this Spirit-Transforming Crystal; you’ve eaten so full recently, don't be lazy!"

Luo Chen scolded with a smile, flicked his finger, and the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire completely wrapped the Spirit-Transforming Crystal.

"Husband, we have arrived at the Hanging Temple!"

A gentle voice came from outside the door.

Inside the door, a bone umbrella floated in the air, rotating slowly, with the phantom of a woman in red appearing and disappearing.

Below it was Luo Chen, sitting cross-legged.

Hearing the voice outside, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes and first looked at the bone umbrella.

"Not bad, the progress of recovery is far beyond my expectations; this Spirit-Transforming Crystal is truly worthy of being an ancient precious material. This trip has brought another opportunity."

Harvesting the Spirit-Transforming Crystal could truly be considered a small opportunity.

Just when exploring and searching for treasure in the ancient city of Loulan, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky, and he harvested a strange treasure; how could it not be considered an opportunity?

But Luo Chen did not rejoice because of this.

All of this was just built on his invincible Soul Transformation realm in the current world.

Without this strength, an ordinary Nascent Soul would be dead or seriously injured under that terrifying meteor bombardment; how could one talk about opportunities and good fortune?

In fact, this principle had run through Luo Chen’s entire cultivation career.

He had encountered countless opportunities and good fortunes along the way, but most of them he could only watch from afar.

Like the Golden Core ruins at the Great River Workshop, or the White Night Cave Mansion in the Nine Mountains of Accumulated Thunder, which one wasn't placed in front of him?

But back then, his realm was low and his strength was weak, so even if it was sent to his face, he could only watch eagerly.

In the final analysis, opportunities and good fortunes in the cultivation world are for those who are virtuous.

And this "virtue" is qualification, is ability.

He, Luo Chen, is now a Great Expert, so of course, he is more qualified than anyone else to collect various good fortunes and opportunities!

Picking it up with ease!

The woman in red glanced at Luo Chen and then obediently burrowed into the umbrella.

Luo Chen put away the bone umbrella and left the quiet room.

Outside, Gu Caiyi had been waiting for a long time.

"Husband."

"Hmm." Luo Chen looked around and released his spiritual sense at the same time, "Where are they?"

Gu Caiyi’s expression was a bit strange: "They are outside, confronting the monks of the Hanging Temple."

Luo Chen nodded, and his spiritual sense had already seen everything clearly.

At this moment.

Because the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle had been hovering above the Hanging Temple for a long time, it had attracted the attention of the experts inside.

Especially after feeling the soaring demon aura inside, the Hanging Temple was even more like facing a great enemy.

Among the mountains, there were countless precious temples, and the incense was flourishing.

It was truly the number one Buddhist gate in the Western Desert!

But the current Hanging Temple was not the Hanging Temple of the past.

The real Hanging Temple had already been sealed by the Great Master Xuan Du with the spirit treasure Glazed Pure Land.

Those at the foot of the mountain were just established by the descendants of the group of experts who attacked the Glazed Pure Land back then.

Although they were descendants, their strength was still not bad.

A full twenty-plus auras comparable to the Nascent Soul stage had locked onto the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle tightly, with a posture of starting a fight if there was any disagreement.

The leader was the head of the Bodhidharma Academy and the Discipline Hall.

Behind them, the head of the Arhat Hall was even more like facing a great enemy, mobilizing all the experts in the temple.

Kong Chan and the others naturally had no concerns, but Qi Ying was full of confusion.

Why would Senior Luo Chen come to provoke them for no reason?

Could it be that he was holding a grudge against the old matter of the thirty-six high monks of the Hanging Temple besieging him back then?

Regarding the battle of the Glazed Pure Land back then, the details had already spread throughout the world.

Luo Chen’s true fame could also be said to be in that battle.

The demon girl and Mo Luo joined forces to defeat the Arhat Great Array that could rival a Soul Transformation Great Expert, which was still praised to this day.

Just as they were confronting each other, two people walked out of the flying shuttle.

Although there were two people, everyone’s eyes only fell on the man in white.

"It’s you!"

"Luo Chen!"

"Wuxiang Mo Luo!"

Exclamations came from the mouths of the monks one after another.

Tian Xuan snorted coldly: "Bold, how dare you call my master’s name directly?"

"Tian Xuan, you step back." Luo Chen smiled slightly, walked to the front of the crowd, scanned everyone, and finally landed on the two leading monks. "Two heads, have you been well?"

The head of the Discipline Hall looked grim, "Luo Chen, don't think that just because you killed a Dao Sect Great Expert and have the power to be invincible in the current world, you can insult my Hanging Temple. If you want to offend today, even if we die, we won't let you have an easy time."

Luo Chen was not angry and laughed: "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. If I wanted to offend, would I come to the door like this?"

While talking, a wisp of aura dissipated.

The head of the Bodhidharma Academy, who had the deepest cultivation, changed color in an instant, "Soul Transformation realm!"

As soon as this was said, all the experts of the Hanging Temple were shaken.

Back then, Luo Chen, who had not yet reached Soul Transformation, could fight the thirty-six Arhat Great Array and persist without being defeated.

With the addition of the demon girl Qing Shuang, they even forcibly dismantled the Great Array and beheaded more than ten fellow disciples.

Now Luo Chen had already reached Soul Transformation, and the entire Hanging Temple could no longer gather enough experts to organize the Arhat Great Array.

With the rise of one and the fall of the other, let alone a fish-die-net-break situation, it was probably a delusion to even damage a wisp of the other party’s clothing.

Thinking of this, the head of the Bodhidharma Academy stopped the head of the Discipline Hall and squeezed out a smile: "I don't know what business Senior has here?"

Luo Chen’s eyes were melancholy, and he looked up at the sky.

The endless high sky, where the biting breeze was emitted.

The Cui Lan Screen was right above it!

And the real Hanging Temple was sealed inside.

Not only that, the fallen Buddha who once made Master Xuan Du wary—Mahakala—was also sealed inside by the Glazed Pure Land.

"This trip, I am just fulfilling the appointment with Fellow Daoist Xuan Du back then, coming to burn a stick of incense."

"Just to burn a stick of incense?" All the monks were stunned.

Without waiting for words, Luo Chen had already floated into the sky.

No one stopped him, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare.

They could only watch helplessly as Luo Chen broke into the biting breeze.

The protective air shield was as thick as a mountain.

Streaks of gang wind slapped against it, making an extremely harsh friction sound.

"Is this the former protective danger of the Buddhist holy land?"

"Being in it, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to resist for long before their physical body would be torn to pieces by this Cui Lan Screen."

Luo Chen didn't dare to be careless, kept his mind, and even revealed black armor on his body.

He stepped deeper and deeper, finally stopping in front of an invisible boundary.

A familiar feeling arose spontaneously.

This invisible space must be the Glazed Pure Land!

"Xuan Du dissipated his entire Arhat cultivation, combined with the spirit treasure Glazed Pure Land, and forcibly sealed the Hanging Temple!"

Luo Chen could feel how rich the aura of his old friend was in that spirit treasure.

Not only that, there was also a thought suppressed to the extreme, wanting to break the seal at all times.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get out.

But Luo Chen’s spiritual sense could get in.

As soon as the two made contact, there was boundless Buddhist chanting and scripture-reciting sounds echoing in Luo Chen’s sea of consciousness.

"Humph!"

Luo Chen gave a light snort, and the Prison-Suppressing Soul Technique burst forth.

In an instant, the Buddhist chanting was gone, and the reciting sounds were like wind.

Not only that, Luo Chen’s spiritual sense gathered as one, like a sharp sword, slashing from the air.

The spiritual senses of the two Soul Transformation existences collided in the most pure and direct way at this moment.

Boom!

A silent roar echoed in each other’s hearts.

"Hmm..."

A muffled groan sounded inside the Glazed Pure Land, followed by a crazy roar.

"Who are you!!!"

"I am Luo Chen, Mahakala, you should just follow Xuan Du’s wish and stay inside properly!"

Luo Chen replied with a smile, then withdrew his spiritual sense.

What Luo Chen feared least now was the contest of souls.

Since the beginning of Qi Refining, his soul foundation had far exceeded his peers. After practicing the Soul-Splitting secret technique and supplementing it with a large amount of Great Soul Pills and Soul Stones for tempering, the strength of his soul foundation had already exceeded the world’s imagination.

Now that he had broken through to the Soul Transformation realm, his soul had doubled, and as it condensed into one, although he was in the early stage of Soul Transformation, he thought it was not much different from the late stage of Soul Transformation.

Having such an encounter today, Luo Chen would naturally not forget Xuan Du’s gift back then.

If he hadn't given him the "Moonlight Heart-Clearing Mantra," helping him condense his Primordial Spirit in advance under the premise of missing his life soul, he would have had no chance of winning when facing the Great Expert Lian Cheng later.

Even though he had already had the act of protecting the Dao back then, Luo Chen still felt grateful.

Coming here today, he was determined to burn this stick of incense!

"Relying solely on the Glazed Pure Land, it won't be able to seal Mahakala for long, so Luo Chen will help you again, Fellow Daoist!"

Luo Chen already had a plan in his heart.

He took out a large amount of materials from his storage ring and then hit them one by one on the periphery of the Glazed Pure Land.

There was even a carefully refined array disk that was hit into the Pure Land.

Subsequently, Luo Chen frequently cast various restrictions.

Mountains, water, wind, clouds, darkness, brightness, emptiness—major restrictions emerged one after another.

And the most important one was the Wind Restriction!

During his actions, the one inside the Glazed Pure Land had already noticed something wrong.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Chen didn't answer, just kept setting up the array.

Time passed bit by bit, and half a month had passed since Luo Chen visited the mountain.

And the terrifying gang wind above the mountains was gradually dissipating.

Such a scene was puzzling.

And Kong Chan vaguely saw some clues.

"He is setting up an array, and that array is somewhat familiar."

Kong Chan frowned, thinking constantly, and finally found that sense of familiarity.

"It’s the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array!"

"No!"

"Master seems to have made some changes on this basis?"

As he expected, what Luo Chen was setting up now was exactly the Demon-Sealing Great Array that Li Canghai had set up outside the Arctic Ye Motian back then.

Because of the token Li Canghai personally bestowed back then, and Luo Chen’s long-term observation and even breaking into the array later, he already had a fairly high understanding of that Demon-Sealing Great Array.

Now that he was re-setting the old array, abandoning the concept of extracting water and earth energy, and replacing it with combining the endless gang wind here, the former Li Canghai’s legacy array reappeared in the Western Desert Buddhist land!

"Collect!"

Only a roar was heard!

The Cui Lan Screen that had shrouded above the Hanging Temple for countless years actually surged into a vortex in unison.

This process was not an instant, but a continuous one.

As long as the power of the array remained, the Cui Lan Screen born in this space would be drawn into the Glazed Pure Land by the array.

Inside, it formed constant strangulation against that Mahakala.

Perhaps it couldn't truly obliterate this Arhat, but at least it could destroy the process of the other party gathering power to try to destroy the seal of the Glazed Pure Land.

At this point, Luo Chen had made up for this stick of incense.

"This should also be what you had in mind, Fellow Daoist Xuan Du!"

Looking at that piece of Pure Land, Luo Chen said so.

Seemingly sensing something, as the clouds and smoke dissipated with the wind, a phantom appeared and disappeared, performing a Buddhist salute to Luo Chen. ===== CHAPTER 1067 =====
