Chapter 1066: Mahakala, Luo Chen Burns Incense

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

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

This was the essence of that massive extraterrestrial star, which had finally landed in the Mountain and Sea Realm after traveling through countless light-years.

After traveling all the way, it had consumed a lot, and it had also taken a direct hit from Luo Chen's "Thousand Heavens Merged Flow," finally leaving only this lump.

After identifying the origin of this item, Luo Chen suddenly realized why the meteor could withstand a "Thousand Heavens Merged Flow" earlier.

Spirit-Transforming Crystal!

It was a very special material.

It could 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 piece of Spirit-Transforming Crystal from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and based on this, refined a magic treasure named 【Yin-Yang Inverting Mirror】. Relying on this magic treasure, he dominated the wilderness, killed great experts of the wilderness, defeated great experts of other holy lands, and finally ascended gracefully.

That Yin-Yang Inverting Mirror 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 attack magic treasure was truly a bit wasteful.

This item could absorb, digest, and even bounce back, but the force of the bounce was limited. If one encountered an attack higher than one's own strength, not only could it not bounce back perfectly, but instead, because it couldn't digest it, it would cause the owner of the magic treasure to bear ten percent of the attack.

That was too risky!

Conversely, if this item were refined into a pure defensive magic treasure, the effect of absorbing and digesting magic power could be maximized.

Moves performed by those whose strength was lower than or equal to one's own would be perfectly defended against.

Even if one encountered an enemy whose strength greatly exceeded one's own, relying on the special nature of the Spirit-Transforming Crystal, one could also dissipate most of their attack!

It was truly the most sought-after refining material for all defensive magic treasures!

"I have obtained the Bone-Burial Umbrella for a long time, and 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 I have a chance to completely repair it."

Luo Chen calculated slightly, and he already had a decision in his heart.

He didn't have many defensive magic treasures in his hand; the Hunyuan Cauldron was for both attack and defense and was not considered, and the rest were only the Bone-Burial Umbrella and the Xuan Chen Armor.

The latter's foundation was not bad, but the time for refining had only been 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; after integrating the Spirit-Transforming Crystal, perhaps it could be repaired as before.

By then, the Yutu Sword would be for attack, the Bone-Burial Umbrella would be for defense, and the Hunyuan Cauldron would have the effect of both attack and defense as well as suppression and control; coupled with a body of spells and divine abilities, his Luo Chen's combat 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 Withered-Prosperous 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 fifth-rank great desolate bodies, the Withered-Prosperous Divine Fire finally recovered, and its spirituality even went a step further.

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

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

Looking at the intimate actions of the Withered-Prosperous 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 people 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 nurtured, after a few hundred years, it could also advance to the fifth rank like the Withered-Prosperous Divine Fire.

But in order to kill the Dao Sect great expert Ancestor Liancheng, Luo Chen fused the Shark Emperor True Flame, the Nirvana Holy Fire, and the Withered-Prosperous Divine Fire into one, and with the help of the Three-Flame Fan, he unleashed a terrifying strike.

The Nirvana and Withered-Prosperous could naturally retain their fire seeds by relying on their own deep foundations, but the Shark Emperor True Flame, which had not yet reached the fifth rank, was not so lucky.

After the battle, the fire seed was completely extinguished.

If he wanted to reproduce it in the Mountain and Sea Realm in the future, he estimated he could only rely on the oil lamp in Xiao Bai's hand, supplemented by Shark people oil, to nurture it bit by bit.

The Withered-Prosperous 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 the Blue Fish Fire Spirit living in the Purple Mansion back then, it also had a bit of shared sorrow and pity, and couldn't help but emit warm flames to brush over Luo Chen.

"Alright, 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 Withered-Prosperous 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 sat Luo Chen, who was 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 was another opportunity."

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

Just when he was exploring and looking for treasure in that Loulan Ancient City, a meteor suddenly fell from the sky, and he harvested a strange treasure; how could it not be considered an opportunity?

But Luo Chen did not feel secretly happy about this.

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

If he didn't have this strength, an ordinary Nascent Soul would be dead or seriously injured under that terrifying meteor bombardment; how could he talk about opportunity and creation?

In fact, this truth had always run through Luo Chen's entire cultivation career.

He had traveled all the way, and the opportunities and creations he encountered were countless, but most of them he could only look at and sigh.

Like the Golden Core ruins at the time of the Great River Workshop, or the Bai Ye cave dwelling in the Jilei Nine Mountains; which one wasn't placed in front of him?

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

In the final analysis, the opportunities and creations of the cultivation world were all for those who had the virtue.

And this "virtue" was the qualification, the ability.

He, Luo Chen, was now a great expert; of course, he was more qualified than anyone else to collect all kinds of creations and opportunities!

Pick it up with a wave of his hand!

The woman in red looked at Luo Chen, then obediently drilled 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 divine 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 divine sense had already taken in the whole situation.

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 within.

Especially after feeling the monstrous demonic 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.

Truly worthy of being the number one Buddhist sect 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 that batch of powerhouses 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 the Frost Eagle Flying Shuttle tightly, with the posture of starting a fight if there was a disagreement.

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

Behind him, 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 worries, but Qi Ying was full of confusion.

Why would Senior Luo Chen provoke them for no reason?

Could it be that he was holding a grudge for 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 demonic girl Xueyan Moluo joined forces to crush the Arhat Great Array that could rival a Soul Transformation great expert, which was still praised to this day.

Just at the moment of confrontation, two people walked out of the flying shuttle.

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

"It's you!"

"Luo Chen!"

"The Demonic Girl Xueyan Moluo!"

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

Seeing Tianxuan snorted coldly: "Bold, how dare you call my Master's name directly?"

"Seeing Tianxuan, you step back." Luo Chen smiled slightly, walked to the front of the crowd, swept his gaze over 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 because you killed a Dao Sect great expert and have the power to be invincible in the world, you can insult my Hanging Temple. If you want to offend today, even if we fight to the death, we will not let you have an easy time."

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

In the midst of conversation, a wisp of aura dissipated.

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

Once 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 demonic girl Qing Shuang, they had forcibly dismantled the Great Array and killed more than ten fellow disciples with their swords.

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

With the rise of one and the fall of the other, let alone a fish-dying-net-breaking situation, he feared that even damaging a corner of the other party's clothes was a delusion.

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 gaze was melancholy, and he looked up at the sky.

That boundless high sky, where the biting cold wind was emitted.

The Emerald Screen was right above it!

And the real Hanging Temple was sealed inside.

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

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

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

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

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

They could only watch helplessly as Luo Chen broke into that biting cold wind.

The protective aura shield was as thick as a mountain.

Streaks of gang wind slapped against it, making a piercing friction sound.

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

"Being in it, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be able to resist for long before their physical bodies were forcibly torn apart by this Emerald Screen."

Luo Chen did not dare to be careless, guarding his heart and mind, and a black armor appeared on his body.

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

A familiar feeling arose spontaneously.

This invisible space should be the Glazed Pure Land!

"Xuan Du dissipated his entire Arhat cultivation, cooperated 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 within 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 divine sense could get in.

As soon as the two made contact, there was a boundless sound of Buddhist chanting and scripture reading, which resounded in Luo Chen's sea of consciousness.

"Hmph!"

Luo Chen let out a light snort, and the Soul-Suppressing Soul Technique erupted.

In an instant, the Buddhist chanting was gone, and the chanting sound was like the wind.

Not only that, Luo Chen's divine sense gathered as one, like a sharp sword, slashing through the air.

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

Boom!

A silent roar resounded in each other's hearts.

"Hmm..."

A muffled groan sounded within the Glazed Pure Land, followed by a frantic 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 divine sense.

What Luo Chen feared most now was the contest of divine souls.

Since the beginning of Qi Refining, his divine soul foundation had far exceeded those of the same rank; 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 divine soul foundation had already exceeded the imagination of the world.

Now that he had broken through to the Soul Transformation realm, his divine soul had doubled, and under the condensation as one, although he was in the early Soul Transformation stage, he thought that compared to the late Soul Transformation stage, it was not much different.

Being able to have today's encounter, Luo Chen naturally wouldn't forget Xuan Du's gift back then.

If he hadn't given him the "Moonlight Cleansing Heart Mantra" to help 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 Liancheng later.

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

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

"Relying on the Glazed Pure Land alone won't seal Mahakala for long; 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 also an elaborately refined array disk, which was hit into the Pure Land by him.

Subsequently, Luo Chen frequently cast various restrictions.

Mountains, water, wind, clouds, darkness, brightness, emptiness—all kinds of 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 that something was wrong.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Chen did not answer, just blindly setting up the array.

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

And the terrifying gang wind originally 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, constantly thinking, and finally found that sense of familiarity.

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

"No!"

"The 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 Night Demon Heaven back then.

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

Now that he was setting up the old array again, abandoning the concept of extracting water and earth energy, and changing it to combine with the endless gang wind here, the former Li Canghai legacy array reappeared in the Western Desert Buddhist land!

"Collect!"

Only a roar was heard!

The Emerald Screen that had shrouded above the Hanging Temple for countless years actually poured into a vortex in unison.

This process was not an instant, but continuous.

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

Inside, it formed a continuous 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.

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