Chapter 1068: Mingyuan Meng Shentong, Opening Heaven and Earth

Half a year later.

Outside the Tianming Palace, Tianduzi was holding a compass and carefully cracking the array.

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

This was not to blame him; it was, after all, the long-term residence of a Soul Transformation great expert. Even with sect protection, the array laid down would not be too complicated, but even a simple array often contained powerful and unpredictable power.

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

Although he was a person whose lifespan was coming to an end, he didn't want to die on the spot; at least he wanted a perfect ending of sitting down when his lifespan was exhausted.

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

This sound was weak at first, but soon it drummed up layer by layer, as if dominoes were falling one after another.

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.

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

"Luo Chen is so fast, breaking the array of the Tianshui Palace in just half a year?"

At the location of the Tianshui Palace, 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 was not to mention the fifth rank; even compared to Tianduzi, he was quite a bit behind.

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

He had mastered various high and low-level restriction arrays and could set them up effortlessly; even in terms of speed, it was still above that of an array grandmaster.

But a so-called grandmaster is a special existence that encompasses all rivers and establishes a sect, having his own understanding.

He, Luo Chen, could not yet create arrays, and could only improve some ancient arrays, achieving the degree of pushing through the old to bring forth the new.

But the reason why he completed the array breaking that Tianduzi estimated would take three to five years in just half a year was only one reason: strength!

He had the great expert power of the Soul Transformation realm!

When testing the reaction of the array, he didn't need to be as cautious as Tianduzi at all; even if there was a strong counterattack from the array, he could suppress it with more powerful force.

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

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

Luo Chen walked leisurely and entered calmly.

What he saw was a main hall with a deep and old-fashioned style, completely different from the gorgeousness of the Tianming Palace.

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

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

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

"It has been more than two hundred years since Yanfu fell, and the scattered earth energy has re-condensed, and the fifth-rank spiritual vein has also recovered more than half. The spiritual opportunity here is quite sufficient; if someone wants to break through to the Soul Transformation realm with this, they might give it a try."

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

None of them were ordinary items!

But Luo Chen just glanced at them and left.

The next location was his main goal for breaking the array.

A study!

Just like Luo Chen, initially, he basically carried all his family wealth on his body, 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, as well as his personal cultivation techniques, insights, and various cultivation experiences.

This study was clearly where Ancestor Hei Ze lived for a long time back then.

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

These books, 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 swept his divine sense, then his heart stirred, and he reached out to beckon.

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

The animal skin was spread out, and a look of realization appeared on Luo Chen's face.

This recorded a fifth-rank pill recipe named "Yao Shen Pill," which was extremely difficult to refine. Regardless of the effect, just in terms of refining difficulty, even among the fifth rank, it was better than the "Gui Yuan Pill" recipe of the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

The reason why Luo Chen suddenly realized was that the main material of this pill recipe 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 nurture the Primordial Spirit. In terms of effect, it has a few similarities with the Dang Hun Pill I refined using the Black Obsidian Lotus Pod."

Luo Chen smiled and put away the pill recipe.

If his soul stones were exhausted in the future, and he encountered a Black Obsidian Lotus Pod, perhaps he could use this method to refine similar pills.

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

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

He figured that even for Ancestor Hei Ze, it was a very precious thing.

Now that Ancestor Hei Ze was dead, the divine soul imprint left behind was extremely weak; not to mention that even at his peak, he might not have been able to compare to Luo Chen's current divine sense strength.

Luo Chen swept and rolled his divine sense, breaking the divine soul imprint.

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

A moment later, the jade slip trembled lightly.

Hum...

A bright light shone, and the true appearance of the jade slip was revealed in Luo Chen's eyes.

Words, like swimming fish and tadpoles, emerged.

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

"Wan Ze True Scripture"

"Sure enough, it is that old guy's main cultivation technique; the grade is not bad, reaching the Void Refinement stage directly!"

"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 Form. But in other aspects, it is more comprehensive, whether it is tempering magic power, or nurturing the divine soul, and..."

When he saw the back, Luo Chen's smile became more and more prosperous.

This jade slip actually recorded many secret techniques!

First to fourth-rank water-series spells, covering a wide range.

Water Escape Technique was also among them.

And various supporting water-series magic treasure refining methods, where cultivators could refine suitable water-series natal magic treasures according to their own cultivation situation.

If it were just this, it would be fine.

This actually recorded a divine ability technique!

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

"Using the cultivator's own magic power as a guide, it moves the primordial energy of heaven and earth, turning it into a flowing stream. Enemies located in it are unable to help themselves, like falling into a quagmire, and their magic power will be constantly washed away. And most importantly, the person who performs this divine ability can get a great increase, and the specific degree of increase depends on the person's own foundation. If one can truly achieve the power of a thousand rivers, there will be great power in every gesture."

"Thinking this way, when Hei Ze first set foot on Cangwu Mountain back then, the scene of the sky full of rain was clearly him performing 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 performed this divine ability, how much would he differ from Ancestor Hei Ze?

The answer was self-evident; in terms of his own Dao foundation, it must far exceed Ancestor Hei Ze, and the number of great rivers he could accommodate must 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 this jade slip.

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

After all, this was a complete sixth-rank cultivation technique, which could be cultivated from the Qi Refining stage to the Void Refinement stage; with this one book, it could become the inheritance of a sect.

When putting away the jade slip, a doubt 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 directly, even for humans, it can only be cultivated to the Body Integration stage, but there is no record of any secret techniques or divine abilities on it."

"Did it not have them originally, or did Fairy Qixia deliberately keep them and not give them to me?"

Any complete cultivation technique would have supporting spells, divine abilities, breakthrough secret techniques, and even magic treasure refining methods.

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

Since Fairy Qixia had never had any malice toward Luo Chen, Luo Chen subconsciously thought in a good direction.

Perhaps the "Nirvana Phoenix 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 spread it out easily.

The handwriting on it was light or heavy, scribbled or clear, clearly showing Hei Ze's different moods when leaving these words.

And the content also matched this situation.

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

Many contents formed this thick bamboo slip.

Clearly, this was the cultivation experience of Ancestor Hei Ze before his death, and there were many insights and feelings in it.

Luo Chen sank into it as soon as he looked.

Although the main cultivation direction was different, using the experience of the same realm as a comparison, there were also things to learn from.

Especially after the Soul Transformation realm, Ancestor Hei Ze left more notes, and they were often full of confusion and speculation.

After three full days, Luo Chen solemnly put away this bamboo slip.

A complete cultivation experience of a Soul Transformation great expert; the value of this bamboo slip was no less than any fifth-rank cultivation technique!

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

There were many other collections in the study, but none of them could compare to these three harvests. Of course, as the collection of a sect ancestor, it was naturally not ordinary; after copying and leaving them in the sect, Luo Chen would naturally look at them again in his spare time.

As for now, he had to go help Tianduzi break the array restrictions of the Tianyuan Palace.

Another half a year later.

With a hum, the restriction of the Tianyuan Palace was also easily cracked under the joint efforts of Luo Chen and Tianduzi.

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

After all, Ancestor Tianyuan attained the Dao even before Hei Ze, so naturally, his legacy was even more abundant.

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

After Tianduzi completed this matter, he chose to say goodbye and leave.

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

Luo Chen copied and gifted him a copy of the classics related to array formations of the Mingyuan Sect.

Tianduzi left in a hurry, perhaps wanting to sort out these harvests and his lifelong cultivation gains before his lifespan reached its limit, and then leave them to the sect.

Deng Taiyue stayed behind, entered the Tianshui Palace in the name of a guest minister of the Luo Tian Sect, and occupied a fifth-rank cave dwelling.

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; he had long wanted to break through to the Soul Transformation stage.

However, he still had to wait for a period of time.

Luo Chen was also waiting.

Waiting for the first fruit of one heart to mature, waiting for the Luo Tian Sect disciples to finish setting up the basic arrays 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.

Looking at 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 stepped over all the old sites of the former Mingyuan Sect.

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

Xiao Bai, known as the "White Emperor" in the sect, drove a large number of little ghosts to explore various places, facilitating the Luo Tian sect members to carry out their work.

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

The manpower and material resources consumed almost exhausted the family wealth 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 issued 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.

Even to say, in the entire Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, Luo Chen's words were final, and few dared to resist.

The high-level sect cultivators practicing in seclusion in the Pill Saint Blessed Land also left in the ninth year and went to the Shangyou City side.

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 of Shangyou City, Luo Lingxi was convening a group of high-level sect members to hold a meeting to discuss a big matter.

Now, naturally, no one would treat him as a greenhorn.

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

Looking at the high-level cultivators gathered in the hall, Luo Lingxi was full of spirit and ambition.

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

Since the three Golden Cores broke through to Nascent Soul in the Blessed Land back then, the Luo Tian Sect had not truly fallen into a bottleneck.

Subsequently, 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, besides the Sha Longzi advancing to the fourth rank of body refining, there was also an unparalleled body-refining genius who broke through to the fourth rank.

This was the true atmosphere of great prosperity!

The only thing restricting the Luo Tian Sect now was probably the sect's territory.

Relying only on Shangyou City and the Pill Saint Blessed Land was no longer enough to support the cultivation needs of so many powerhouses.

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

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

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

There were quite 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.

In the midst of the disturbance, Luo Lingxi pressed his hand in the void.

"Quiet!"

Subsequently, he led the crowd out of the hall and looked toward the Netherworld Abyss from afar.

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

The 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!"

"Activate the protective sect array, regardless of the loss!"

"Ask the four great spirit venerables to take action and guard the side of the Mingyuan!"

One order after another was issued, and the Luo Tian Sect, which had been at ease before, 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.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Luo Chen's expression was calm, not worried at all, just saying calmly: "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 an act against heaven, I fear this heaven and earth will no longer be able to accommodate you."

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

His voice came leisurely from the front.

"Luo has the intention to ascend, and before leaving, it is only right to do a little insignificant thing for the Luo Tian Sect and for my old friends and descendants."

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

The door of the 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 =====
