Luo Chen said he would consider it again, but when he gave the set of Seven Killings Swords from the Master of Liang Baizao Mountain to Han Zhan, he had already indicated his determination to take a trip to the Sinking Sea.

Such a two-faced and fickle situation rarely appeared in Luo Chen.

But the changes within must be analyzed according to specific circumstances.

Initially, after years of closed-door cultivation, with a treasure completed and feeling satisfied, coupled with the temptation of spirit medicine, he made the decision easily.

After the trip to Kumu Ridge, having faced Nascent Soul-level combat power, his heart inevitably fluctuated, and he began to cherish his own life.

But in the end, Ding Yi's intelligence made him unable to cherish his life anymore.

Once the Sinking Sea was completely controlled by the demon race, what would it matter even if his future realm reached the late Jin Dan stage or even the Great Perfection?

In the vast Northern Sea, there were countless fourth-tier Demon Emperors more powerful than Jin Dan cultivators, and such an important place as the Sinking Sea would inevitably have Demon Emperors stationed there. By then, he would never have another chance to obtain the Five-Element Lotus Platform.

Luo Chen had been searching for this spirit medicine, the Five-Element Lotus Platform, for many years, but had gained nothing.

Whether it was Ding Yi or Han Zhan, both told him that this thing basically did not circulate on the market and was rarely traded among Nascent Soul True Persons.

If, according to Luo Chen's vision, the natal Jin Dan served as the core of a pseudo-domain, and the second Nascent Soul served as the magic power core for regular combat, the two-pronged approach would not affect his normal combat.

After Han Zhan finished listening, he fell into deep thought, muttering to himself from time to time.

Han Zhan's eyes lit up; he had forgotten about this point.

And the direction of preparation was precisely the few problems found at the edge of the Lengtan Abyss on Ziling Island back then.

For this, he even let Seeing Tianxuan postpone the second-day meeting with the Jin Dan cultivators of the Zhou family.

Luo Chen nodded repeatedly; it was also through repeated deductions that he confirmed he had the basic conditions to dare to take such a risk.

Especially the natal magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, had too strong a foundation!

It itself also had miraculous effects in suppressing, imprisoning, and capturing.

Of course, relying on others for everything was not Luo Chen's nature.

But in reality, even the stock in the hands of Nascent Soul True Persons was very small.

The real situation was that the Five-Element Lotus Platform was controlled by the holy lands of the Five Continents!

Once he truly made up his mind, he began to prepare for this secret realm exploration with all his might.

"Such means are too wasteful; ordinary Jin Dan cultivators wouldn't dare to dream of it."

Luo Chen looked serious as he looked at the Nascent Soul figure.

The other party promised to help him at a critical moment, just like He Yuan, who was possessed by the Blood Nightmare Demon Luo on Lengguang Island back then.

Because the Hunyuan Cauldron involved the secret technique he had been researching during this period.

On the lonely island of Penghu, Han Zhan looked at Luo Chen curiously.

What Luo Chen did was just to use the power of the formation to maximize its characteristics.

"I have to say, your idea is very interesting and indeed has a certain feasibility. So what do you need me to do for you now?"

"Using the natal magic treasure to amplify the power of magic power, pouring out one's own magic power to form a small-scale magic power domain?"

At that moment, he told the other party about his research over the years, one by one.

"You are different. Firstly, your five-spirit-root physique has forged a thick foundation of magic power; secondly, you have the top-tier cultivation technique 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' to refine pure and domineering fire-attribute magic power, which indeed has a strong suppression effect; finally, your Hunyuan Cauldron also truly has enough foundation to amplify the released magic power several times."

Han Zhan was stunned, and then his Nascent Soul trembled, as if he had thought of something.

Luo Chen added: "Senior, don't forget, I have also refined a second Nascent Soul. When it comes to the accumulation of magic power, I am afraid there is no one among the Jin Dan cultivators of this generation who can compare to me!"

Luo Chen's plan was to use his own Jin Dan, the Hunyuan Cauldron, and the formation to achieve a similar effect.

He didn't know where the Five-Element Lotus Platform of Qingdan Valley came from, but he knew that the Sinking Sea was his only chance!

And what really made him make up his mind was Han Zhan's promise.

It must be said that this idea had the shadow of the Master of Liang Baizao Mountain's Big Dipper Seven Peaks Formation in it.

"Times have changed; your consideration is not wrong. However, do you have any ideas when you come to find me?"

"Do you want to imitate the remnants of the Origin Demon Sect and study the technique of pseudo-domain?"

"I need Senior to unfold your domain so that I can feel the power of the domain up close! Only by feeling it up close can I draw a tiger by imitating a cat, or even borrow the tiger's prestige!"

Tailor-making defensive magic treasures for others is a time-consuming and laborious task.

The Nascent Soul technique he personally taught Luo Chen was cultivated in conjunction with the third-tier Great Perfection Hidden Dust Sand.

Over the years, with the assistance of the Penghu Star Dou Hall, which was comparable to a third-tier top-grade treasure, it was thought that Luo Chen's accumulation of magic power had reached a terrifying point.

Finally.

"Yes, Senior said before that this technique was quite tasteless to me, but if I really want to go to the Sinking Sea, I feel that if I truly master this technique, it might give me a few more ways to save my life."

He looked deeply at Luo Chen.

With a Nascent Soul True Person protecting him, and being more careful himself, without greed, and leaving as soon as he obtained the Five-Element Lotus Platform, the safety of this trip would be greatly guaranteed.

Once those three problems were solved, his strength would inevitably skyrocket; with stronger strength, he would naturally have a few more ways to save his life.

Especially, since his weapon refining technique still had to rely on the Hunyuan Cauldron, this was even more troublesome.

Luo Chen abandoned the practice of alienating Han Zhan over the years and began to visit the other party frequently recently, all to use the other party to perfect his pseudo-domain idea.

The white-robed cultivator of the Origin Demon Sect used the Soul-Dividing Ghost King, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and corresponding secret techniques to set up a pseudo-domain that could suppress Jin Dan cultivators of the same rank.

"Fine, since you have a request, how can I not respond!"

While speaking, his mind stirred, and his Nascent Soul magic power began to be released. At the same time, heaven and earth seemed to respond, and a large amount of free heaven and earth spirit energy surged from the eight-hundred-mile Penghu.

Just for a moment.

On the lonely island, it was as if heaven's might had descended.

Luo Chen's whole body shook, and he was pressed to the ground by the inexplicable huge pressure.

It was a bit caught off guard.

He gritted his teeth, his bones trembling, and as his blood surged, he was actually going to stand up bit by bit.

Watching Luo Chen go from "prostrating" to half-kneeling, Han Zhan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

This child could actually still move while his magic power was suppressed.

The strength of his physique was simply not human!

It was hard to imagine that if the other party's physique went to the next level, would it be possible to resist the suppression of the Nascent Soul domain without breaking through to the Jin Dan stage?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Zhan's expression did not show it, and the three-inch figure spoke eloquently:

"Do not resist, just calm down and feel what a domain is."

"Only by clarifying the essence can one imitate or even resist."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, adjusted his body with difficulty, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Even though his physical bones kept sending signals of being unable to bear the weight, he was still mobilizing his spiritual sense to perceive the situation around him.

Gradually, he noticed some things.

Unknowingly, the surrounding pressure dissipated.

Luo Chen looked at it in confusion, and Han Zhan smiled helplessly.

"I don't have a physical body after all, and I dare not manipulate the domain too much, otherwise my Nascent Soul will be assimilated by the heaven and earth spirit energy. You should go back, and come to me once every month to feel the power of the real Nascent Soul domain."

Luo Chen nodded, stood up covered in sweat.

He bowed to Han Zhan to thank him, and then flew towards Penghu Island.

On the way back, he was muttering to himself.

"Assimilation..."

Inside the Star Dou Hall.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, the magic power in his body surged outward like a tide, trying to merge with the thick spirit energy outside.

In his heart, thoughts surged endlessly.

"Since ancient times, fighting across ranks has been extremely difficult because high-realm cultivators have a natural suppression over low-realm cultivators."

"This kind of suppression is not just a gap in the quantity of magic power, but also a transformation in essence."

"Foundation Establishment True Cultivators are stronger than Qi Refining cultivators because their spiritual sense can be released, allowing them to control magic tools and magic treasures more easily, and the attack distance is also greatly increased with the blessing of spiritual sense."

"Jin Dan Superiors can destroy Foundation Establishment True Cultivators with a flick of a finger; it is the huge gap in magic power and spirit power that forms the so-called spirit pressure. The two originate from the same source, but the latter is better than the former, thus crushing them."

"And the domain power of a Nascent Soul True Person..."

"Cultivators form a Nascent Soul, combining the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit to forge a Nascent Soul body, thus being able to face the might of heaven and earth directly. In essence, it is pure magic power that forges a second body for the soul outside the physical body's sea of consciousness. Magic power originates from heaven and earth spirit energy, so the Nascent Soul body can manipulate the heaven and earth spirit energy of corresponding attributes, which is how the so-called domain is formed."

"What I felt recently is correct. Within that range, it is almost all pure wood-attribute spirit energy. Han Zhan's magic power is like a general leading thousands of soldiers, forming a complete individual suppression over me."

Amidst the surging thoughts, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

He felt more and more that his judgment was in the right direction.

Han Zhan had no physical body, which meant that the Nascent Soul, which combined the three treasures, lacked the "essence" part.

And without the isolation and shielding of the essence blood and physique, the Nascent Soul body frequently manipulated heaven and earth spirit energy, making it extremely easy to be assimilated by heaven and earth.

After all, how could the influence of an individual soul be greater than that of heaven and earth?

This is the reason why Han Zhan said the word "assimilation."

In this situation, if he wanted to take the path of pseudo-domain, he could not learn from the real Nascent Soul domain.

Because he could not manipulate the free heaven and earth spirit energy outside; before refining and purifying it to add his own will, he could not influence the outside spirit energy with his own will.

"Since it cannot be used by me, then exclude it, so that only my own magic power remains in the space I am in; in this way, it is equivalent to forming a special Nascent Soul domain."

After figuring this out, Luo Chen's spirit was lifted.

Without hesitation, the Jin Dan in his body rotated rapidly, and a large amount of magic power surged out, amplified by the Hunyuan Cauldron, and surged out again.

However, this time it was no longer an attempt to merge with the heaven and earth spirit energy in the Star Dou Hall, but a tyrannical exclusion.

Like a huge wave, pushing across the nearby seawater.

In an instant, the Star Dou Hall was filled with rolling fire waves.

If Luo Chen is compared to a huge wave and heaven and earth to a boundless sea, then the free spirit energy is the seawater.

A huge wave is naturally no match for the boundless sea.

But with surging slaps, it can also push away a certain amount of seawater, ensuring that its own wave rolls forward.

Doesn't that Nascent Soul True Person manipulate more seawater? It is far from reaching the level of forming a vast ocean itself.

Amidst the rolling fire waves, Luo Chen's eyes were bright.

"This time, perhaps I have really taken the right path!"

Without hesitation, he withdrew his magic power, left the Star Dou Hall, and went straight to Han Zhan's cave dwelling.

The familiar heaven and earth spirit energy added to his body again, like a prison trapping Luo Chen.

Luo Chen glanced at where Han Zhan was, and according to his own vision, released his surging magic power.

In an instant, two rays of light, green and red, stood in opposition in the void.

In that dreamlike light, Luo Chen slowly stood up.

Han Zhan was extremely surprised, "Your physique... no, your pseudo-domain is done?"

The domain was withdrawn, and Luo Chen also withdrew his magic power.

He frowned and shook his head, "Not yet, it's just a prototype, not to mention that Senior probably didn't use much strength just now, right?"

Han Zhan gave an "um," "About thirty percent."

Thirty percent is enough.

At least it's enough for Luo Chen right now.

He was thoughtful and walked towards the outside.

His vision still had shortcomings; it was just a prototype. To be able to resist the power of the Nascent Soul domain, there were still many things that needed to be perfected.

The first point is to replace the Big Dipper Seven Peaks Formation!

That formation is indeed not suitable for him!

Watching the departing back with a thoughtful look, Han Zhan was amazed.

"This child's talent in the way of techniques is truly terrifying; he can actually create a secret technique comparable to a Nascent Soul domain at the Jin Dan stage."

After the amazement, a shocking thought arose spontaneously.

"If he really advances to the Nascent Soul stage, will his perception of the principles of heaven and earth also be as if helped by a god?"

The so-called principles of heaven and earth are the laws of nature.

And this kind of mysterious thing is generally only controllable by Soul Transformation great experts; those who can understand it at the Nascent Soul stage are few and far between in this generation!

While Luo Chen was concentrating on his cultivation, the outside world was not calm.

The demon race's unusual movements on the border of the Sinking Sea were gradually placed in front of the experts of the Wan Sima Xian Society as time passed.

Regarding this, ordinary loose cultivators didn't care at all.

But the few top True Persons could not ignore it.

With an order from the Blood Scatterer, the cultivators stationed at the Three Oceans defense line began to leave the defense line and take the initiative to attack the low-tier demon beasts near the Sinking Sea.

Not only that, but high-tier tasks related to the Sinking Sea were also increasing, and Jin Dan loose cultivators went to the Sinking Sea to fight under high task rewards.

Ding Yi came to find Luo Chen once and explained the situation.

Regarding this, the two guessed that the Blood Scatterer probably also had his eyes on this treasure land of the Sinking Sea.

Ding Yi was a bit anxious because the date of the last celestial phenomenon was getting closer and closer.

Luo Chen, on the other hand, was unhurried, just asking him to keep a closer eye on it.

He himself was still obsessed with researching his own domain.

"The path at the beginning was wrong, but fortunately it was corrected later."

On a deserted island in Penghu, Luo Chen stood on it.

With a thought, a fierce and dry magic power sprayed out.

In an instant, the surrounding heaven and earth spirit energy was pushed away.

Not only that, but the magic power was extremely aggressive, starting to expand continuously, one mile, two miles, three miles...

Luo Chen wandered in it, as if a fish in water, his hands forming seals to cast spells, and the power was even greater than before.

"Formations are not the higher the better, but the more suitable for oneself the better."

"The Ghost Prison Fire Control Formation in the storage ring of the Master of Liang Baizao Mountain, although only third-tier, is more suitable for me."

The third-tier great formation, the Ghost Prison Fire Control Formation, has no attack or defense power, nor does it have the power of confusion or suppression; it is just an ordinary formation used by the weapon-refining sect Liang Baizao Mountain to control earth fire.

Under the control of this formation, the power of earth fire can be burned slowly if small, or gathered to burn a city if large.

Luo Chen obtained this formation and engraved it on his body.

Using the body as the formation base, the cauldron as the formation eye, and the natal Jin Dan as the energy source, he could form a pseudo-domain that belonged exclusively to him.

He named it—Senluo Fire Prison!

However...

"The distance is too broad, and the power is not concentrated enough."

Luo Chen's mind stirred, and the released magic power began to slowly retract.

From ten miles away, it kept shrinking, finally forming a fire prison covering a hundred feet in radius.

Being in it is like an Avici Hell!

Luo Chen's magic power became more vibrant, and while releasing spells, it was also faster and more powerful.

If the enemy is in it...

Luo Chen had the intention of testing his sword in his heart!

And the target of this sword test?

Without hesitation, Luo Chen returned to Penghu Island, gave Seeing Tianxuan a few instructions, and then hurried away from Penghu, heading towards the Demon Hunting Division.
