Chapter 1065: Four Concentric Fruits, Yanfu Rises Again

Dim sky, desolate earth.

No longer seeing the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the strange and magnificent scenery of the past; what remained was only the mess after being defiled.

A black ape the height of a normal person looked at this scene, its expression neither sad nor happy, but a sigh came from its mouth.

"The Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven cannot last much longer."

This black ape was exactly the puppet controlled by Luo Chen’s spiritual sense, and its strength was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

The current Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, after experiencing the impact of the Ming Water Spring Eye and the self-detonation of the Rotten Chessboard, was completely unable to withstand the entry of Luo Chen’s true body.

No matter how he concealed the massive magic power contained in his body, if he entered, he feared he would forcibly burst this small world.

Therefore, Luo Chen could only choose to use his spiritual sense to control the puppet to enter the Cave Heaven.

As soon as the black ape puppet entered, it determined the direction and headed toward a remote place.

About half a day later, it arrived at its destination.

It was the valley that the Gu family had built in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven specifically for cultivating spirit herbs back then.

It was just that unlike the fragrance of spirit herbs and the lush greenery of the past, the valley was now so desolate that only one thing remained.

A small tree!

The tree was not big, about a zhang high, and no thicker than a bowl.

But the branches were knotted, thick and powerful, giving people a feeling of being indestructible.

Especially the veins on the leaves, which were like human blood vessels, crystal clear, flashing with strange colors.

The black ape puppet looked at the small tree carefully, stepping on the ground from time to time.

The Demon-Concentric Tree was obtained more than three hundred years ago and was taken from the Mu Tian Plain in the Land of Fallen Demons.

After obtaining it, it had never blossomed or borne fruit, like a chicken rib.

But research on this tree had never stopped.

Until Sang Jinghe failed to break through and passed away, he left behind his life’s research, pointing out a practical method.

There were no ancient demons in this world, and ancient demons were also difficult to kill; wanting to use the hearts of demons to cultivate was extremely difficult. Therefore, Sang Jinghe studied using the hearts of desolate beasts to cultivate.

Combined with his various secret techniques, perhaps one day he could realize the dream of bearing fruit.

"It is indeed feasible, but Jinghe will not see that day."

The black ape puppet stopped under the tree, looked up, and vaguely saw flower buds emerging from several branches.

Counting carefully, there were four places.

It just happened to match the four Grade 5 desolate beasts he had killed during his ten-year wilderness trip.

Gui Li, Chaotic Space Stone Monkey, Nine-Absolute Sparrow, Green Pearl Phoenix.

After these four desolate beasts died, Luo Chen bestowed most of the materials to Gu Caiyi and the four great sect-protecting spirit beasts, the vitality of their physical bodies was supplied to the Withering-Prospering Divine Fire, and their most important hearts were all buried under the Demon-Concentric Tree.

Now, the four hearts were about to bear four concentric fruits!

Once the fruits matured, Luo Chen would take and refine them, perhaps he could break his physical limit and achieve the Grade 5 Desolate Ancient True Body!

With the time flow difference of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, that day should not be far away.

The black ape puppet checked carefully, took out a large amount of high-level spirit soil and the ripened medicinal liquid that had been prepared, and carefully cared for the small tree.

"This is the Luo Tian Sect?"

Outside Youyou City, Qi Ying looked at the current mountain gate of the Luo Tian Sect, and although he was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but feel some disappointment in his heart.

In his mind, with Senior Luo Chen’s strength, the sect he belonged to must have the atmosphere of a magnificent holy land.

But looking at it now, it was somewhat prosperous, but it was only slightly better than a Nascent Soul sect.

It was still far from being called a holy land of a continent!

Gu Caiyi on the side was full of pride.

"Yes, this is the temporary mountain gate of the Luo Tian Sect! My husband founded the Luo Tian Sect, and it has been less than five hundred years. From a mere Qi Refining force back then, he developed it bit by bit until today, gradually having the atmosphere of a holy land. Such a creation can be called unprecedented in the Shanhai World!"

Hearing this, Qi Ying couldn't help but show a look of surprise in his eyes.

He was a reclusive person, or rather, a very focused person.

Except for what he was interested in, he basically never paid attention to things outside.

This was also the reason why Mr. Xuan Yan had no disciples in his life, but broke the rules to recruit Qi Ying in his later years.

He had never thought that the former Luo Tian Sect was only a Qi Refining force five hundred years ago.

Thinking of this, looking at the atmosphere of the mountain gate again, he felt that there were some different aspects.

Full of vitality, all phenomena opening.

Every sect member he saw had the same pride from the bottom of their hearts as Gu Caiyi.

The so-called sect cohesion had reached its peak; the only thing lacking was the precipitation of time, allowing this power that gathered people’s hearts to be passed down forever.

"Fellow Daoist Qi Ying, my husband intends to recruit you and has specially set up the position of guest minister of the Pill Academy. I wonder what you think?" Gu Caiyi invited enthusiastically.

Qi Ying hesitated: "I am just keen on the Pill Dao and have no interest in any power or status. Moreover, I am most afraid of trouble in my life, and sometimes I go out to look for medicine at every turn. I fear that this position of guest minister..."

Gu Caiyi waved her hand generously: "You don't have to worry at all. As the first Nascent Soul guest minister of our sect, you don't need to worry about anything; just focus on doing what you want to do. On the contrary, if you have any needs, you can dispatch sect disciples to run errands for you. Whatever resources you need, the Luo Tian Sect will also supply you."

Speaking of this, Gu Caiyi blinked.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, in the current cultivation world, although there are many loose cultivators, you should also be able to understand how bad the life of a loose cultivator is!"

Qi Ying opened his mouth, a helpless bitter smile on his face.

In the past, with Master Xuan Yan’s care and Mingyuan Sect disciples running errands for him, he didn't feel it deeply.

But the hardships and troubles he had encountered in recent years were truly hard to describe, and even his cultivation realm had been delayed.

If the position of guest minister of the Luo Tian Sect was really that easy, then he could consider it.

Gu Caiyi suddenly said: "I think you don't know yet, our sect’s Pill Academy is not without capable people; there are two direct disciples of my husband sitting in it. They have all inherited my husband’s Pill Dao skills, and you might be able to discuss with them."

As soon as this was said, Qi Ying’s eyes lit up.

The halo covering Luo Chen was not just those brilliant battle achievements.

Before that, the name "Pill Sect" was the honor that made Luo Chen famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

There were even rumors that Luo Chen’s current pill refining technique was probably no less than that of Chu Yan, the Pill Saint of Mingyuan back then!

And as his direct disciples, their pill refining techniques must not be ordinary.

"If this is the case, then Qi is a bit tempted."

Speaking of this, Qi Ying was suddenly curious.

"By the way, where is Senior Luo? Since returning from the Western Desert, I haven't seen him, and I still want to ask him about some questions on pill techniques."

Regarding this question, Gu Caiyi was a bit hesitant.

But in the end, she still said frankly: "My husband is handling a big matter recently, and I believe you will be able to see him soon."

Qi Ying was quite curious; for a Soul Transformation Great Expert, what could be called a big matter, and he didn't know what kind of important matter it was?

Abyss of the Netherworld, undercurrents lurking.

A towering mountain was deeply recessed at the bottom of the abyss, not seeing the sun.

Four figures, one in front and three behind, were climbing up slowly along the foot of the mountain.

"Master, regarding the restrictions of Yanfu Mountain, I have broken all of them at the foot of the mountain over the years. But I am helpless against the three palaces on the mountainside and the summit. On weekdays, I send some small ghosts to explore, but most of them never return, which is truly tricky."

Luo Chen, who was walking in front, said without looking back: "The mountainside is mostly the cave mansions where the Nascent Soul True Persons of the Mingyuan Sect practiced in seclusion. The cave mansion restrictions set up are naturally troublesome with your array attainments. But it doesn't matter, these restrictions cannot affect my next actions."

When they reached the mountainside, the Daoist in white waved his hand casually at a certain cave mansion.

The restrictions inside collapsed.

In an instant, a large amount of spirit energy accumulated for hundreds of years surged out.

Seeing this hand, Xiao Bai couldn't help but cheer: "It still has to be Master!"

And another middle-aged man dressed in plain dark clothes couldn't help but feel deeply emotional when he saw this.

The world knows Luo Chen’s name as a Pill Sect, but they don't know that he also has the understanding of a master in array formations.

Sure enough, most cultivators in this world are incapable, while the capable are omnipotent.

As for the other old man, covered in wrinkles and looking lifeless, he didn't care much.

The four of them walked all the way and finally stopped at the square on the summit of Yanfu Mountain.

Looking straight ahead, three palaces stood towering.

"What’s truly important is the restrictions of these three palaces!"

Tianming Palace, Tianyuan Palace, Tianshui Palace.

They corresponded to the three great ancestors of the Mingyuan Sect back then: Yu Ming, Tianyuan, and Heize.

Luo Chen turned around, looked at the old man, and said in a gentle tone: "Tian Du Zi, isn't that so!"

"Senior is right. If we want the Mingyuan to sink and the Yanfu to rise again, we must first break the restrictions of the three palaces and control the entire Yanfu Mountain."

The old man was exactly the Supreme Elder of the Tiandu Sect, the great array sect of the Eastern Wilderness, Tian Du Zi!

He was already old, and he had been seriously injured in the human-demon war back then. Even if he used life-extending methods, he barely survived to this day, but he was unable to impact the Soul Transformation realm again.

After receiving the Elixir of Enlightenment gifted by Luo Chen, he merely handed it over to a junior martial brother he held in high regard to consume.

And he himself was invited by Luo Chen to come to Yanfu Mountain to help Luo Chen break the array restrictions when his lifespan was about to end.

Tian Du Zi observed the surroundings carefully and suddenly said in surprise: "Has the restriction of Tianming Palace been broken?"

"You are truly worthy of being you!" Luo Chen praised, and then said: "Because Tianming Palace condenses the Ming Water Spring Eye, its restriction power is the weakest, and it was forcibly broken by a group of ghost emperors of Mingyuan two hundred years ago."

Tian Du Zi stroked his beard, "That makes it easy to handle. The restrictions of the three palaces are connected; one palace is broken, and the power of the remaining two is also reduced by three points. Originally, it was estimated that it would take at least ten years, but now it seems that in three or five years, Yanfu Mountain will be able to see the light of day again."

"That’s great!"

Luo Chen smiled, then turned to look at the other middle-aged man in plain dark clothes.

"Deng Taiyue, when the restrictions of the three palaces are completely broken, it will inevitably have an impact on the outside. At that time, I will trouble you to use your means to stabilize Yanfu Mountain."

Deng Taiyue replied without hesitation: "This is Deng’s duty, Senior, please rest assured!"

If it were an outsider, they might wonder why Deng Taiyue, a Supreme Elder of the Taishan Sect, would say something like "duty."

But Luo Chen knew it clearly.

He had promised the other party back then that if Deng Taiyue could help him succeed and comprehend the true meaning of the law himself, then after the matter was completed, he would help the other party find a Grade 5 spirit vein to break through to the Soul Transformation realm.

And this Yanfu Mountain was the confidence Luo Chen promised.

As long as the Mingyuan sinks and the Yanfu rises again, the Luo Tian Sect can control a Grade 5 spirit vein!

Deng Taiyue breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm by this is just a matter of convenience.

Everything is ready, and the matter of breaking the array is about to begin.

However, before that, Luo Chen unexpectedly entered the Tianming Palace.

"What is he doing?" Tian Du Zi was puzzled.

The three waited quietly outside the palace.

After a long time, the Tianming Palace trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Tian Du Zi’s eyes narrowed.

Array?

"Is he setting up an array to draw water vapor?"

Deng Taiyue on the side nodded first, then looked around in surprise and uncertainty.

"Not just water vapor, it seems that there is a large amount of water source aura spreading in the Tianming Palace. Is this attracting the same source power in the Netherworld Abyss?"

The two looked at each other, and there was a vague guess in their hearts.

Luo Chen is going to use the power of Yanfu Mountain and his own comprehended water source to forcibly condense the Ming Water Spring Eye!

Is this something that manpower can do?

Inside the Tianming Palace.

Luo Chen was fully focused, watching the pool of black water in the palace.

The so-called Ming Water Spring Eye, in his view, was just a place like a spirit cave of earth energy.

Such an existence is not something manpower can do, and it often requires the power of heaven and earth to be slowly nourished over time.

But it had been two hundred years since the last condensation of the Ming Water Spring Eye.

Having been empty for so long, it was time to condense again.

Luo Chen had the experience of mastering the Ming Water Spring Eye and had comprehended the water source himself. What he had to do now was just to use the array of the Tianming Palace of Yanfu Mountain back then to draw that power in the dark to this place.

He must ensure that the re-condensed Ming Water Spring Eye would not be born elsewhere in the Netherworld Abyss, but must be born in the Tianming Palace.

Only in this way can the Luo Tian Sect truly control this ancient abyss!

When everything was ready, Luo Chen left the Tianming Palace and looked at the three.

"Let’s start!"

Next, the three had their own actions.

Xiao Bai left first, went down Yanfu Mountain, and headed toward the Luo Tian Sect.

Her task was very simple, but also the most cumbersome, which was for the entire Luo Tian Sect to set up corresponding arrays on the old site of the Mingyuan Sect.

This matter could not be done by her alone, and it also required Sect Master Luo Lingxi to lead the entire sect to carry it out together.

Deng Taiyue stayed in place, his magic power slowly dissipated, and the power containing the earth source gradually wrapped the entire Yanfu Mountain.

And Tian Du Zi rushed to the Tianyuan Palace.

His task, like Luo Chen’s, was to break the restrictions of the remaining two palaces!

Standing in front of the Tianshui Palace, Luo Chen’s expression rarely showed a look of nostalgia.

This was not only the three supreme symbols of the Mingyuan Sect’s power and status, but also the location of the cave mansion of the Heize Ancestor who died under his sword.

He once submitted to him, then killed him with his own hands, and now he had to break all the restrictions to inherit the other party’s legacy.

How could the impermanence of the world not make people sigh?

"I wonder what that old guy left in the cave mansion?"

Luo Chen chuckled and began to observe the defensive array of the entire palace, preparing to break it. ===== CHAPTER 1068 =====
