Chapter 391: Returning to the Peak

A few days later.

Late at night.

A figure passed through the cold long street, along the Tianlan walkway, and arrived at the foot of Tianlan Peak.

"Who comes?"

"Qu Lingjun of the Luotian Society."

"Why come up the mountain so late? Come over and register!"

Under the dark night, a thin man walked over as ordered.

Arriving close, looking at the unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator, he asked curiously: "Where is Senior Wang Pingzhi?"

The mountain-guarding Foundation Establishment cultivator was disturbed from his dream, and was already impatient, hearing him ask about the previous person, he was even more displeased.

"Dead!"

"Not doing the mountain-guarding mission properly, insisting on messing around on the battlefield, now I'm afraid even ghosts can't find the way home."

Luo Chen, disguised as Qu Lingjun, was stunned.

He had thought that this war would take away many people's lives, but he didn't expect that Wang Pingzhi, an ordinary security guard of Tianlan Peak, would also fall because of it.

But changing people, he could still pull closer the relationship.

Luo Chen secretly handed over a medicine bottle, which was the Qi-Harmonizing Pill of the Yaowang Sect.

It couldn't be counted as too precious, but it was already a good thing that Qi Refining cultivators could rarely take out.

The mountain-guarding Foundation Establishment cultivator was stunned.

He looked at him carefully, then quietly put it away.

"Luotian Society, Qu Lingjun, right?"

"En, it is this junior." The thin man nodded.

The mountain-guarding Foundation Establishment cultivator drew a few strokes on the bamboo slip.

"Alright, it's registered, you can go up the mountain."

Speaking of this, he opened the Tianyi Water Great Formation.

Seeing the thin man step forward to enter, he hesitated, but still called him.

"Don't enter or exit Tianlan Peak late at night in the future. Now because of the Soul Transformation ruins of the Nine Mountains of Accumulated Thunder, many powerhouses from outside the region have come to the Yuding Region. Plus a group of fierce and fierce people who have retreated from the battlefield. Even if it's Tianlan Xiancheng, it's still mixed with fish and dragons, quite dangerous."

"No one will care if you enter or exit Tianlan Peak during the day with an identity token, but the inquiry at night will be very strict."

Speaking of this, he paused, and added another sentence.

"Seeing that you are just a Qi Refining cultivator and can rent a cave dwelling on Tianlan Peak, I think your family background is not small. When entering or exiting the Xiancheng, it's best to pay attention, don't be followed and still be ignorant."

Luo Chen listened to this advice seriously, bowed to him, and then drove his magic tool to fly up Tianlan Peak.

The mountain-guarding Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at his back and shook his head, then took out the Qi-Harmonizing Pill jade bottle, threw it up and down, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

It turns out that this mountain-guarding mission is not without oil and water!

Luotian Society?

A very sensible sect!

Reading this familiar name, he seemed to remember something.

It was a vassal sect that had a good relationship with his own sect, and the president seemed to be a guest elder of the Ice Fortress, maybe he could turn a blind eye to their entry and exit in the future.

In the deep night, the man drove his magic tool, flying toward the back of Tianlan Peak unhurriedly.

The flight speed of the Qi Refining stage made him a bit slow.

But no matter how slow, there would be a time to arrive.

However, when he stopped in front of a cave dwelling gate, if that mountain-guarding Foundation Establishment cultivator saw it, he would be very surprised.

He didn't go to any Tier 1 cave dwelling, but a Tier 2 cave dwelling.

And it was a high-grade spiritual land among Tier 2 cave dwellings!

Casually casting a spiritual formula, the formation guarding the cave dwelling opened slowly, the clouds and mist dissipated, and the man stepped in.

Just after entering, he heard Xiao Ling's surprised voice.

"So late, why did President Sister come over?"

She walked over in small steps, and saw the man in front of the cave entrance.

"Qu Lingjun, you are so late... No, where did you get the formation entry formula?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his aura changed, and he even wiped his face.

His facial features shifted, his figure grew taller, and in the blink of an eye, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

The realm of the Foundation Establishment stage was revealed without doubt.

Bai Meiling was stunned, the intimacy coming from the depths of her soul made her pounce regardless of everything.

"Master, you're back!"

At the same time, the door of the cultivation room opened instantly, and a beautiful figure flew out impatiently.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, hugging Bai Meiling with one hand, and opening the other half of his embrace with the other hand.

That beautiful figure rushed into his arms.

"Wuwuwu..."

There was sobbing.

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, "Why cry, didn't I come back?"

Gu Caiyi raised her head, her plain hands hammering his sturdy and broad chest, looking up at that thin cheek.

"Who told you to leave for more than a year, and didn't send any news back, I was worried about you! Especially after hearing that you were chased and killed by Core Formation cultivators..."

Women talk too much!

Luo Chen lowered his head and kissed her heavily.

"Umm..."

Bai Meiling had already left Luo Chen's embrace at the right time, looking at this scene with a smile.

For a long time, the lips parted.

In the air, it seemed that a romantic atmosphere was permeating.

"Hui Niang will come later, Xiao Ling, you watch the formation."

Luo Chen ordered simply, and then couldn't wait to hug Gu Caiyi into the bedroom.

Bai Meiling opened her big eyes, looking at the backs of the two.

It turns out that Master is also a ghost like her!

It's just, a lecherous ghost!

Sima Hui Niang got the news and rushed over in the middle of the night, just in time to see Luo Chen walking out of the bedroom.

Wearing a loose black silk coat, the thin figure was a bit more dashing and unrestrained compared to the mature and steady past.

A head of black long hair was scattered behind him at will.

She was stunned, and said subconsciously: "I seem to have come at the wrong time."

"No, you came at the right time."

A demonic smile appeared on Luo Chen's thin face, and he beckoned to the woman.

Sima Hui Niang hesitated, but ultimately couldn't suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and walked over involuntarily.

Seeing Luo Chen hugging her and about to enter the room before, she said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Change to another room, okay?"

"Not very good, troublesome!"

This time, the man's toughness was far beyond the past!

Sima Hui Niang didn't want to disobey him either, and entered that door half-pushed and half-pulled.

Inside, clouds and rain turned over, and red waves were turned over.

Halfway through, a woman woke up, and was then broken into the battlefield.

Luo Chen had experienced battles between Foundation Establishment True Persons many times.

This time, he returned after completing his studies, and his combat power surged.

The powerful physique brought him unprecedented combat power, killing until the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the mountains and seas overturned.

Bai Meiling supported her chin with one hand on the stone table in the hall, listening with relish.

The other hand flipped through the cookbook, planning to prepare a rich feast for Luo Chen.

In this way, until dawn!

They were Foundation Establishment True Persons after all, with strong recovery ability!

After dawn, Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi had rosy faces and were radiant, leaving Tianlan Peak and going to the Luotian Society to handle affairs as usual.

And Luo Chen, rarely slept in.

This sleep lasted for three days and three nights.

During that year in the Soul Transformation ruins, he was almost constantly drawing thunder power for body-refining.

Occasionally resting, it was also a very shallow doze.

As a result, under the powerful body, the soul was incomparably exhausted.

It was as if he had undergone a closed-door cultivation for a year without stopping.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, this way of squeezing the limit of closed-door cultivation was feasible.

Especially when impacting realm barriers, they often didn't sleep or rest for months or years.

But in daily life, they would still rest briefly.

Otherwise, if the soul was squeezed too much, it would easily leave sequelae.

Fortunately, when Luo Chen woke up leisurely, he didn't notice any sequelae.

Instead, he was strong and healthy, full of spirit.

Faintly, he felt that his soul foundation seemed to have risen another level, and there was a bit of change that couldn't be explained clearly.

What specific change, Luo Chen couldn't say either.

But he knew that it was a good change, and that was enough; more still had to be explored slowly in the future.

Out of the bedroom, he didn't see anyone.

After releasing his spiritual sense, he found that Bai Meiling was busy in the Tier 2 spiritual field outside.

It seemed that she had already harvested a crop before, and now she had changed to new crops, and the growth was okay.

The forest was lush, the flowers and plants were lively and agile, and that Xuyang tree that had been cut down had revealed golden new branches and leaves again.

Luo Chen didn't go to disturb her, turned around and entered the cultivation room.

The rich spiritual energy concentration rushed toward his face.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged immediately, and operated the "Evergreen Scripture".

He hadn't cultivated for a long time, but the movements were not unfamiliar or stagnant at all.

Whether it was swallowing and moving heaven and earth spiritual energy, or the cycle of refining and purifying, everything seemed to be a matter of course.

Even, during the second cultivation, Luo Chen had new ideas.

Not only operating the "Evergreen Scripture", but also using the Qi-swallowing technique in the "Heavenly Thunder Body-Refining Method" he created himself to take a wild breath.

In this way, with three-pronged approach, the efficiency of his moving and swallowing external spiritual energy increased greatly.

The meridians in his body didn't feel any strain at all, and even had a feeling of not having enough!

For a long time, Luo Chen stopped cultivating.

Feeling the state of spiritual power in his body, he couldn't help but nod.

In the slightly withered Qi sea, living water was introduced again.

If it was just according to the current progress, it wouldn't take long for him to return to his previous peak state.

However, the top priority was not this.

Luo Chen's heart moved, and a transparent panel hung in front of his eyes like a waterfall.

【Achievement Points: 22】

The dazzling array of entries made one dizzy at first glance.

But Luo Chen was full of joy, with a sense of harvest.

No other reason, these were the most intuitive manifestations of the achievements he had obtained after his efforts over the years!

Even, he hadn't pulled open those hidden entries, otherwise there would only be more.

At first glance, Luo Chen focused his attention on lifespan.

Two hundred and fifty years?

Twenty years more than the lifespan limit after advancing to the 6th level of Foundation Establishment before.

I think it's because of the changes in physique, leading to the consequences.

However, clearly on the entry, his physical realm reached Tier 3, why only add twenty years?

"Is it because I am just a human body?"

The lifespan of demon beasts is long, actually it doesn't have much to do with whether the realm is strong or not.

More is due to the natural advantages brought by the race.

Of course, the stronger the realm, the longer one naturally lives. After breaking through the great realm, there will also be corresponding improvements.

But at low realms, it actually doesn't manifest so obviously.

Luo Chen only obtained the corresponding physical strength, but he himself didn't have the corresponding racial qualitative change, so he only added so little lifespan.

Even, unless he has a huge improvement in body-refining, the bonus to lifespan won't be too big.

After all, he is not walking the traditional body-refining technique researched by human cultivators that can improve lifespan.

Luo Chen didn't create that technique back then, and it wasn't aimed at improving lifespan.

Regarding this, Luo Chen didn't express any dissatisfaction.

The lifespan limit of two hundred and fifty years is already extremely good!

Ordinary Foundation Establishment True Persons, without cultivating similar "Evergreen Scripture" techniques that can prolong life, generally have a lifespan limit of two hundred and fifty years or so.

If they have suffered any major injuries during their cultivation, they might even die prematurely.

He is only at the 6th level of Foundation Establishment now, and the future realm improvement will only be higher and further than the same-level Foundation Establishment!

What surprised Luo Chen was that the entry for his body-refining realm had changed.

It was no longer the traditional human body-refining stages of Tier 1 Vajra, Tier 2 Blood River, Tier 3 Furnace... but instead became a 【Desolate Ancient Tier 3】 that was a bit confusing.

"Desolate Ancient? Could it be referring to the Desolate Beasts and Ancient Beasts among demon beasts?"

Regarding demon beasts, human cultivators in the Mountain and Sea World know them very well.

Because in this world, the biggest enemy of humans is demon beasts.

Current demon beasts follow the path of transformation derived after ancient times.

Tier 1 Qi-swallowing, Tier 2 Core-condensing, Tier 3 Wisdom-opening, Tier 4 Transformation, reaching Tier 5 can be called Ancient Demon, equivalent to Soul Transformation great powers of the human race.

But it is rumored that before ancient times, demon beasts didn't mainly follow this path.

At that time, demon beasts followed the path of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy to hammer the demon body and master racial talent supernatural powers, a simple and natural path.

And in this category, there are Desolate Beasts that are ignorant and don't open wisdom, and Ancient Beasts that are as intelligent as humans and can even master heaven and earth laws.

The latter is also the origin of the name of the current Tier 5 Ancient Demon.

"My self-created body-refining method, because the situation was critical at the time, I didn't have time to comprehend the changes in blood Qi at all, purely consuming the thunder power in my body like squandering."

"So, it followed an extremely pure path of physical hammering."

"Looking at it this way, it is indeed the same system as the Desolate Ancient demon beasts before ancient times."

Luo Chen muttered to himself, as if sorting out information, and as if groping for the road ahead.

But soon, he recalled the various contents of the "Heavenly Thunder Body-Refining Method" with a gloomy and uncertain face, and for a moment he was actually a bit confused.

With a human body, practicing demon methods, what will be the ending in the end?

A moment later, Luo Chen cheered up.

Whatever!

This set of methods of mine was tailor-made for me by the system, who said it was a demon method!

It's just that all roads lead to the same destination!

However, the changes that occurred on the panel because of the body-refining path made Luo Chen pay a little more attention.

"Clear God Breaking Evil", "Wang Family Secret Manual", "Qi and Body Same Origin", "Turtle Spirit Covering Armor", all disappeared!

These four sets of methods involved body-refining with evil Qi, hammering will, refining essence into Qi, essence and Qi conversion, traditional human body-refining, and many other methods.

Especially that "Turtle Spirit Covering Armor", which imitated the ancient great demon Mysterious Turtle, and had four secret techniques: Turtle Breath, Covering Armor, Avoiding Death, and Prolonging Life.

It could be called incomparably mysterious.

Luo Chen even cultivated this technique to the Grandmaster level, skillfully mastering the three techniques of Turtle Breath, Covering Armor, and Avoiding Death.

Now, these techniques have also disappeared.

And where they went, there is no doubt that they were all fused into the "Heavenly Thunder Body-Refining Method" by the system.

No wonder this set of methods is said to accommodate the strengths of a hundred families and refine all the foundations of Luo Chen's life.

Even, in this set of body-refining methods, it also involved alchemy "Clear Source Wonderful Alchemy Method", Core Formation Secret Technique "Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation", evil Qi opening orifices, thunder opening orifices, and many other technique means.

At this time, calling this set of methods "Heavenly Thunder Body-Refining Method" is a bit inappropriate.

When it was named back then, it was just a random name given in a hurry.

Luo Chen pondered slightly for a moment, and the entry for "Heavenly Thunder Body-Refining Method" on the system panel rippled and changed to "Ten Thousand Paths Merging".

The meaning is very simple, since this method takes the strengths of a hundred families, and obviously still has room for improvement and optimization, it's better to call it Ten Thousand Paths Merging, casting Luo Chen's powerful true body.

It contains its origin, and also entrusts Luo Chen's ambition for its future.

"This can also be considered the first cultivation method I created myself since I started cultivating, and I don't know what level I can reach by relying on this method in the future."

Luo Chen smiled indifferently, with a faint joy and pride in his heart.

Although the cultivation method is based on the Tier 3 body-refining technique "Heaven-Peng Transformation" from the system, and then deduced, fused, and summarized.

But in the final analysis, the many technique means, secret techniques, spells, cultivation methods involved, none are not accumulated by Luo Chen through hard work over these years.

The system is just an aid, accelerating this process through achievement points.

But even without the system, one day when Luo Chen had a flash of inspiration, he might have taken this step.

So!

"Everything I have is obtained through my efforts!"

"System, let me see your limit... No, let's look at other entries!"

Luo Chen, in a pleasant mood, let his gaze fall on the realm column.

【Foundation Establishment 6th Level 30/100】
