Chapter 1066: Mingyuan Divine Ability, Opening Heaven and Earth

Half a year later.

Outside the Tianming Palace, Tian Du Zi was carefully breaking the array with a compass in his hand.

His eyes narrowed, his expression was solemn, and every magic formula he cast was extremely cautious.

This was not to be blamed on him; it was, after all, the long-term residence of a Soul Transformation Great Expert. Even with sect protection, the array set up would not be too complicated, but even a simple array often contained powerful and unpredictable power.

If there was a mistake, a little carelessness would lead to a backlash.

Although he was a person whose lifespan was about to end, he didn't want to die on the spot; at least he wanted a perfect ending of sitting and passing away when his lifespan ended.

Just as he was exploring carefully, a vibration sound suddenly came from outside.

This sound was weak at first, but then it drummed up layer by layer, as if dominoes were falling in a chain.

This also caused the entire Yanfu Mountain to tremble.

Fortunately, Deng Taiyue took action in time, using great means to forcibly stabilize Yanfu Mountain, so it did not affect other places.

Tian Du Zi realized something instantly, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Luo Chen actually broke the array of Tianshui Palace so quickly, in just half a year?"

Where Tianshui Palace was, Luo Chen looked at the slowly opening door, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

In terms of array attainments, he couldn't compare to Grade 5, even compared to Tian Du Zi, he was still quite a bit behind.

If divided by delicate realms, his current array attainments were between master and grandmaster.

He had mastered various high and low-level restriction arrays, and setting them up was effortless, and even in terms of speed, it was even better than an array grandmaster.

But a so-called grandmaster is one who gathers all rivers, founds a sect, and has special existences with his own understanding.

He, Luo Chen, could not yet create arrays, only improve some ancient arrays, achieving the degree of partial innovation.

But the reason why he completed the three to five years of array-breaking estimated by Tian Du Zi in just half a year was only one reason, and that was strength!

He had the ability of a Soul Transformation Great Expert!

When testing the array’s reaction, he didn't need to be as cautious as Tian Du Zi; even if the array had a strong counterattack, he could suppress it with even more powerful force.

Coupled with a pair of Red-Eyed Golden Pupils that could see through reality and illusion, Luo Chen’s array-breaking was simply crushing.

Now that the great array was broken, Tianshui Palace no longer set up defenses against him!

Luo Chen walked in leisurely and calmly.

What came into view was a main hall with a style that was completely different from the gorgeousness of Tianming Palace, but rather slightly deep and old-fashioned.

There was nothing to see here, so Luo Chen went straight to the back hall.

The first thing that attracted him was the rich spirit energy leaking out because the array was broken.

Opening a palace, Luo Chen just felt it slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"Since the fall of Yanfu more than two hundred years ago, the scattered earth energy has re-condensed, and the Grade 5 spirit vein has also recovered more than half. The spirit energy here is quite sufficient. If anyone wants to break through to the Soul Transformation realm with this, they might be able to try."

In the quiet palace, there were exquisite incense burners, jade cushions, bells, and other auxiliary cultivation objects.

None of them were ordinary items!

But Luo Chen only glanced at them and left.

The next place was his main target for breaking the array.

A study!

Just like Luo Chen, basically all his wealth was on him at the beginning, but as the Luo Tian Sect gradually flourished, Luo Chen would also leave part of his property in the sect.

Including but not limited to various cultivation resources, his personal cultivation techniques, insights, and various cultivation experiences.

This study was obviously where the Heize Ancestor lived for a long time back then.

Luo Chen was in it, his spiritual sense spread like a spider web, falling on one book after another.

These classics, some were paper, some were animal skin, bamboo slips, and most were jade slips.

Very few had restrictions left on them.

After all, who would set up heavy defenses in their most private space?

Luo Chen’s spiritual sense swept over, then his heart moved, and he beckoned lightly.

A piece of animal skin, a jade slip, and a thick bamboo slip flew toward him.

The animal skin was spread out, and Luo Chen showed a look of realization.

This recorded a Grade 5 prescription called "Yao Shen Pill," which was extremely difficult to refine. Regardless of the efficacy, just in terms of refining difficulty, it was better than the "Gui Yuan Pill" prescription of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, even among Grade 5.

The reason why Luo Chen was suddenly enlightened was that the main material of this prescription was the Black Obsidian Lotus Pod that was once raised in the Pill Saint Blessed Land!

"As I thought back then, that Black Obsidian Lotus Pod was indeed prepared for Soul Transformation Great Experts, and it was specifically used to nourish the Primordial Spirit. In terms of efficacy, it had the same effect as the Danghun Pill I refined using the Black Obsidian Lotus Pod."

Luo Chen smiled and put away the prescription.

If his Soul Stones were used up in the future and he encountered Black Obsidian Lotus Pods, perhaps he could use this method to refine similar pills.

His eyes fell on the jade slip, and Luo Chen’s expression was slightly cautious.

This was a rare existence in the study that added both magic power and soul imprints.

It seemed that even for the Heize Ancestor, it was quite precious.

Now that the Heize Ancestor was dead, the soul imprint left behind was extremely weak, not to mention that even at his peak, he might not be stronger than Luo Chen’s current spiritual sense strength.

Luo Chen’s spiritual sense swept and rolled, breaking the soul imprint.

What remained was to convert the magic power containing the water source and break the magic power imprint bit by bit.

A moment later, the jade slip trembled slightly.

Hum...

The light shone brightly, and the true appearance of the jade slip was revealed in Luo Chen’s eyes.

Characters, like swimming fish and tadpoles, emerged.

Luo Chen looked up, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Wan Ze True Scripture"

"It is indeed that old guy’s main cultivation technique, the grade is not bad, reaching the Void Refinement stage!"

"It contains the cultivation method of the Soul Transformation stage, which is generally the same as what Li Canghai said, aiming at the step of condensing the Dharma Image. But in other aspects, it is more comprehensive, whether it is tempering magic power, nourishing the soul, and..."

When seeing the back, the smile on Luo Chen’s face became more and more prosperous.

This jade slip actually recorded many secret techniques!

Water-type spells from Grade 1 to Grade 4, covering a wide range.

Water Escape Technique was also among them.

There were also refining methods for various supporting water-type magic treasures, and cultivators could refine water-type life magic treasures suitable for themselves according to their own cultivation situation.

If it were just this, it would be fine.

This actually also recorded a divine ability technique!

"Qian Chuan Yin, it’s an interesting name."

"Using the cultivator’s own magic power as a guide, it pulls the primordial energy of heaven and earth, turning it into a river. The enemy is in it, unable to help themselves, like falling into a quagmire, and their magic power will be constantly washed away. And most importantly, the person who casts this divine ability can get a great increase, and the specific degree of increase depends on the person’s own foundation. If one can really do it, the power will be immense."

"Thinking of this, when Heize first set foot on Cangwu Mountain back then, the scene of the sky full of rain was clearly him casting this divine ability."

Luo Chen watched with relish, and combined with his experience back then, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this divine ability.

Moreover, he also imagined, if he cast this divine ability, how much would he differ from the Heize Ancestor?

The answer was self-evident; in terms of his own Dao foundation, he would inevitably far exceed the Heize Ancestor, and the amount of Great River power he could accommodate would inevitably be more!

If combined with the growth-type divine ability of Qi Hai Fu Tian, perhaps the power would be even greater!

"This trip was not in vain!"

Luo Chen praised and happily put away the jade slip.

Later, he would naturally make copies and leave them to the Luo Tian Sect.

After all, this was a complete set of Grade 6 cultivation techniques, from Qi Refining to Void Refinement, and this one book alone could become the inheritance of a sect.

When putting away the jade slip, a doubt suddenly arose in Luo Chen’s heart.

Or rather, it was a doubt he had always had.

"As a top-tier cultivation technique that can reach the Mahayana stage, even for humans, it can only be cultivated to the Body Integration stage at most, but there is no record of any secret techniques or divine abilities on it."

"Was it originally not there, or did Qixia Yuanjun deliberately keep it and not give it to me?"

Any complete cultivation technique will have supporting spells, divine abilities, breakthrough secret techniques, and even refining methods for magic treasures.

But the "Tian Huang Nirvana Scripture" that Luo Chen mainly cultivated now was simplified to the extreme, and the only set of secret techniques was the "Nine Tribulations Three Nirvana" method.

Thinking that Qixia Yuanjun had never had any malice toward Luo Chen, Luo Chen subconsciously thought in a good direction.

Perhaps the "Tian Huang Nirvana Scripture" had supporting secret techniques and divine abilities, but they were suitable for the demon race, so she deleted them and didn't give them to him.

After putting away the "Wan Ze True Scripture," Luo Chen turned his attention to the last thick bamboo slip.

This time, there was no obstruction, and he easily spread it out.

The handwriting on it was light or heavy, scribbled or clear, obviously the different moods of Heize himself when he left these words.

And the content also matched this situation.

The joy of success in cultivation, the confusion and perplexity in the face of stagnation, the sudden enlightenment after communicating with others...

Many contents formed this thick bamboo slip.

Obviously, this was a cultivation experience of the Heize Ancestor before his death, and there were many insights and realizations in it.

Luo Chen sank into it as soon as he looked.

Although the main cultivation direction was different, comparing it with the experience at the same realm, there were also things to learn.

Especially after the Soul Transformation realm, the Heize Ancestor left more notes, and they were often full of confusion and guess-deductions.

Three days later, Luo Chen solemnly put away the bamboo slip.

A complete cultivation experience of a Soul Transformation Great Expert, the value of this bamboo slip was no less than any Grade 5 cultivation technique!

At this point, Luo Chen looked around and had no more regrets.

There were many collections in the study, but none of them could compare to these three. Of course, as the collection of a sect ancestor, it must not be ordinary. After copying and leaving it in the sect, Luo Chen would naturally read it again in his spare time.

For now, he had to go help Tian Du Zi break the array restrictions of the Tianyuan Palace.

Another half a year later.

With a hum, the restrictions of the Tianyuan Palace were also easily broken under the joint efforts of Luo Chen and Tian Du Zi.

There were countless treasures inside, and the harvest even far exceeded that of Tianshui Palace.

After all, the Tianyuan Ancestor obtained the Dao even before Heize, so the legacy he left behind was naturally more abundant.

Luo Chen took it all and left it as the foundation for the future inheritance of the Luo Tian Sect.

After Tian Du Zi completed this matter, he chose to say goodbye and leave.

This time, although he contributed, he also gained a lot.

Luo Chen copied a copy of the classics related to array formations of the Mingyuan Sect and gave them to the other party.

Tian Du Zi left in a hurry, perhaps wanting to sort out these gains and his life’s cultivation experience before his lifespan came to an end, and then leave a legacy to his sect.

Deng Taiyue stayed behind, entered the Tianshui Palace in the name of a guest minister of the Luo Tian Sect, and occupied a Grade 5 cave mansion.

He had comprehended the true meaning of the law for a long time, and had been in the late Nascent Soul stage for two hundred years, and had long wanted to break through to the Soul Transformation stage.

However, he still had to wait for a while.

Luo Chen was also waiting.

Waiting for the first concentric fruit to mature, waiting for the Luo Tian Sect disciples to complete the basic array he needed, and waiting for the Ming Water Spring Eye to condense again.

Time passed bit by bit.

Day by day, month by month, year by year, ten years of frost and snow passed in a flash.

From the perspective of the lifespan of high-level cultivators, these ten years could almost be ignored.

But in ten years, the traces of the Luo Tian Sect disciples, under the direction of Sect Master Luo Lingxi, had already trodden all the old sites of the Mingyuan Sect.

During this period, the Xuan Turtle Protector controlled the Ming Water.

Xiao Bai, known as the "White Emperor" in the sect, drove a large number of small ghosts to explore various places, facilitating the actions of the Luo Tian sect members.

During the ten years, specially refined array flags, array disks, and a large amount of spirit stones were embedded in the old site of Mingyuan.

The manpower and material resources consumed almost exhausted the family foundation that the Luo Tian Sect had accumulated over the years.

Such a labor-and-money-wasting act, if it were before, would inevitably lead to complaints.

But if this order was given by the Supreme Elder, there would be no questioning.

That was an existence like a myth in the history of the sect!

All his orders would be blindly followed by the entire Luo Tian Sect.

It could even be said that in the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world, Luo Chen’s words were final, and few dared to resist.

The high-level sect cultivators who were practicing in seclusion in the Pill Saint Blessed Land also left one after another in the ninth year and went to the side of Youyou City.

In this way, within the Netherworld Abyss, except for some ghost cultivators who hid far away, only Luo Chen and Deng Taiyue remained on Yanfu Mountain.

Ten years later.

Inside the Luo Tian Sect in Youyou City, Luo Lingxi was convening a meeting of sect high-level officials to discuss a big matter.

Now, naturally, no one would treat him as a young boy.

Whether it was his powerful background, his status as the fourth-generation sect master, or his powerful realm of the Nascent Soul stage, Luo Lingxi was already a big figure of great importance in the Eastern Wilderness today.

Looking at the high-level cultivators gathered in the hall, Luo Lingxi was heroic and ambitious.

If his mother were still here, seeing this scene, she should also be proud of him!

Since the three Golden Cores in the Blessed Land broke through to Nascent Soul at almost the same time, the Luo Tian Sect did not really fall into a bottleneck.

Later, people broke through to Nascent Soul one after another, increasing the sect’s high-end combat power.

Even the War God Peak where Wang Yuan was, in addition to the Sha Longzi advancing to the fourth stage of body refining, there was also an unprecedented body refining genius who broke through to the fourth stage.

This is a truly prosperous atmosphere!

The only thing restricting the Luo Tian Sect now is probably the sect territory.

Relying only on Youyou City and the Pill Saint Blessed Land is no longer enough to support the cultivation needs of so many strong people.

The sect’s territory must be expanded, and the influence of the Luo Tian Sect must also be spread!

This is the big matter Luo Lingxi is preparing to discuss now.

Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked outside.

There were not a few who had this reaction, mostly the top Nascent Souls in the sect.

Like Ling Fengzi and Cang Long, they all had the strength of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"This is..."

"Could it be?"

Soon, other newly promoted Nascent Souls in the hall also reacted and subconsciously looked outside.

Amidst the disturbance, Luo Lingxi pressed his hand into the void.

"Quiet!"

Subsequently, he led the crowd out of the hall and looked far away at the Netherworld Abyss.

There, disaster clouds gathered, and the sky was dim.

Mingyuan was boiling, and the waves were like anger.

In the void, thunder and lightning were endless, making people’s hearts tremble.

Such a scene made everyone anxious.

Luo Lingxi took a deep breath and muttered: "Father, are you going to start?"

Subsequently, he sank his Qi into his dantian and issued a vast sound transmission, permeating thousands of miles around.

"All disciples, do not go out, stay away from the Netherworld Abyss!"

"Raise the sect-protecting array, regardless of loss!"

"Please ask the four spirit venerables to take action and guard the side of Mingyuan!"

One order after another was issued, and the Luo Tian Sect, which had been peaceful before, suddenly became busy.

And in the Netherworld Abyss, it was another scene.

Deng Taiyue stood on Yanfu Mountain, looking at Luo Chen, his expression extremely solemn.

"Do you really want to do this?"

Luo Chen’s expression was calm, seemingly not worried at all, just calmly saying: "The arrow is on the string, it has to be fired."

Deng Taiyue was a bit worried, "Although I haven't broken through to Soul Transformation yet, according to your guidance, I can already perceive the primordial energy of heaven and earth. If you really do such a heaven-defying thing, I fear this heaven and earth will never be able to accommodate you again."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and turned to walk toward the Tianming Palace.

His voice came leisurely from the front.

"I have the intention to ascend, and before leaving, it is only right to do some insignificant things for the Luo Tian Sect and for my descendants and old friends."

Deng Taiyue took a deep breath; such a big matter that could be called opening heaven and earth, how could it be insignificant?

The gate of Tianming Palace closed with a bang.

The next moment, a mysterious aura began to spread wildly from within, gradually covering the entire Netherworld Abyss! ===== CHAPTER 1069 =====
