Chapter 626: Five-Color Blur, Starry Sky Illusion, Liwang Heaven

~15 min read 2,812 words

"Luo Chen, are you willing to join my Alchemy Hall?"

The enthusiastic invitation entered his ears, and the smile as warm as the spring breeze reflected in his eyes; Luo Chen only felt his brain was in chaos.

A violent aura arose for no reason.

Having cultivated for a hundred years, he had been above ten thousand people, had retreated unscathed from the Feather Clan holy land, and even felt he had the strength to contend against Nascent Soul True Persons.

Now, a mere Foundation Establishment True Person dared to speak wildly about subduing him!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Once a sword is raised, it can cut through purity!

Just as Luo Chen's eyes became increasingly red, thousands of voices seemed to ring in his ears.

"Little Luo, this moment is like that moment!" It was Qin Liangchen's voice.

But when Luo Chen looked at the man standing next to the wealthy man, the other party didn't open his mouth.

Is this moment the same as that moment?

Luo Chen asked himself.

"You are a smart person; let this matter end here!" It was Deacon Miao Wen's voice.

He had always been smart and decisive in everything; even if the choice looked wrong later, it was absolutely correct at the time.

Now, how could he be smart and be misled by his own intelligence?

"President, I'm waiting for you to return in Danxia."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I'll trouble you with the matters behind my Li family."

"Luo Chen..."

"Qingyang Demon Lord..."

One voice after another, like a tide, fine at first, then thunderous later, shaking Luo Chen's soul incessantly.

Just at this moment, Hearing Mi Shuhua's voice entered his ears again.

"Luo Chen, are you willing to join my Alchemy Hall!"

Facing that sinister gaze, Luo Chen slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, and then bowed slightly.

The sinister look dissipated, and the wealthy old man laughed heartily.

"Those who know the times are heroes; Luo Chen, you won't regret today's choice!"

In this booming laughter, his figure began to dissipate continuously.

Luo Chen watched this scene quietly, but his body was trembling slightly.

Yes, he didn't regret it!

If he were always regretting, he wouldn't have been able to reach this step today.

For everything he had done in the past, even if it was ugly and dirty, even if he had submitted to others and acted low, he didn't regret it.

No matter how high his realm was now, no matter how prosperous it was, it couldn't cover up the fact that the path he had walked in the past was once muddy.

Only by facing the past squarely and accepting the ugliness in his heart could he continue to move forward.

When Luo Chen woke up from changing the past and indulging in pain, he slowly blinked his eyes.

Looking at the scene, where was the small city's bright moon, where was the Danxia night scene?

It was just a vast starry sky, and he was alone, walking through it.

Floating in the starry sky.

Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat.

A black chess piece fell into his palm.

Without wind or sound, the black chess piece turned into a handful of powder.

The Lanke Black Chess that had protected him all the way, up to now, had reached the end of its life.

Luo Chen wasn't surprised that this day had come.

During the attack by the baleful energy of the desolate beast Ghost Immortal Tower earlier, the Lanke Black Chess had already been damaged.

And when he stepped into this starry sky, after the terrifying illusion that left him without any reaction or resistance fell, the Lanke Black Chess quietly shattered.

Before shattering, years of refining had allowed it to send a final warning to Luo Chen.

And this warning reached its maximum during Deacon Miao Wen's interrogation of Luo Chen's inner memories in the Eastern Wasteland's Yuan Magnetic Valley, stirring up chaos in Luo Chen's heart.

Thanks to this, Luo Chen made the correct choice in the final level.

Respect history and firmly believe that it was the correct route for his own success.

Instead of regretting and thinking about changing everything in the illusion.

Besides, change?

How should he change it?

Refuse Hearing Mi Shuhua's invitation, youthful blood, unyielding pride? Then he would have died under the other party's sinister means back then.

Just like killing Mi Li, Deacon Miao Wen would be wary of him; how could there be the subsequent rise?

Refuse Sima Hui Niang, is that the correct choice? Not necessarily!

When he let Yan Leizi go, the other party would definitely seek revenge on him, so it was correct to ignore the pressure of the other party's Golden Core father and kill him forcibly back then.

Just like on Yaoyue Island, killing Yan Nantian decisively instead of keeping him by his side and raising a tiger to cause trouble!

"My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I have done is correct!"

Luo Chen smiled and tossed his hand.

The black powder in his hand drifted and fell into the starry sky.

Only until this moment did he have the energy to observe this "starry sky."

An endless black space, with only thousands of stars hanging high above.

The starlight shone on him; it was very dim before, but now it was dazzling.

Looking at those stars and the starlight on his body, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

"The illusion must be born from this."

"And this illusion is completely different from what I have seen in the past. It is not seeking beauty and light, nor is it the temptation of wealth, color, and power; instead, it peeks into the ugliness in people's hearts, making people face it squarely. If one dares not face one's past and tries to change history, nine times out of ten, one will sink into it and never be awake for eternity."

"Truly exquisite and beyond imagination!"

After sighing, Luo Chen looked at the wooden plaque on his chest.

That was the Soul-Nourishing Wood, where Han Zhan resided.

At this moment, the other party was silent; he didn't know if he was hiding or if he had been forced into the illusion?

Looking left and right, he didn't see the figures of Ding Yi and the Master of Moyun Cave.

They must have been forced apart when they left the bone tunnel without knowing it.

"I don't know if we will be in the same place after going out?"

Luo Chen thought for a moment and moved his footsteps.

And as he moved, figures gradually emerged in the dark starry sky.

Bewitching demonesses in revealing clothes, holy fairies in white light gauze, posing on both sides of the forward direction, either panting softly or stroking the mountains...

"Again?"

Luo Chen shook his head and strode forward, his footsteps never stopping.

This kind of illusion, if it were a cultivator with a less firm will, might be affected.

But Luo Chen had experienced countless illusions in his life.

Whether it was the dream illusion of taking the Tongyou Pill, the questioning illusion of the Ghost God Questioning Mirror, or the baleful illusion of the Ghost Immortal Tower, none of them were easy to deal with.

After long training, he already had extremely strong resistance.

At this moment, even without the protection of the Lanke Black Chess, his firm Dao heart was not affected at all, and he just kept running.

And during the forward journey, the illusion was constantly changing.

From the beauty at the beginning, to the delicacies later that made one's mouth water, fragrance surging between the nostrils, and even magic sounds rolling and fairy music playing in the ears.

Luo Chen remained unmoved, but he was increasingly astonished.

The environment arranged by this starry sky was truly too wonderful!

Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and heart, all had targeted actions.

If one was not careful, one would sink into it.

Only those with a firm Dao heart and moving forward without looking back could be unaffected.

Even as strong as himself, even though he was also proficient in eye illusion techniques, he was almost misled and sank into the inner heart level during the first contact.

And Luo Chen could see that the power of these illusions was equivalent to his own realm, not exceeding too much, just right.

"The owner who arranged this starry sky illusion truly has extraordinary means, which is awe-inspiring!"

Luo Chen sighed, his speed became faster and faster, and the starlight in front of him gradually paved a road.

Looking up.

An exit emitting light appeared at the end of the star road, looming.

Luo Chen was spirited, ignoring the bewitching sounds and fragrance behind him, and jumped into the exit.

"This is..."

In the quiet palace, Luo Chen looked back at the exit.

On it, three characters were written.

【Liwang Heaven】

"Is the name of that starry sky illusion Liwang Heaven?"

Luo Chen was thoughtful and withdrew his gaze, his eyes wandering in this small palace.

Rather than a palace, it was more like a huge stone room.

Array patterns were everywhere under his feet, and spiritual energy surged in from the outside world, then disappeared under the stone room along those array patterns.

Clearly, this was the source of the vortex passage.

Passing through the starry sky illusion Liwang Heaven, the Mysterious Turtle bone tunnel, and finally breaking through the Sinking Sea, it was revealed in the Mountain Sea Realm.

And a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy from the outside world was also absorbed.

At this moment, in this stone room, the spiritual energy was so dense it could be called terrifying; as far as Luo Chen could see, it was at least fourth-tier and above.

If it weren't for the back-and-forth transportation, which seemed too violent, it would definitely be an extremely high-quality place for cultivation.

But violent, that was right!

A look of satisfaction appeared in Luo Chen's eyes; with his current physique, assisted by the array, he might be able to recover a little bit with the spiritual energy here.

During the one-month Sinking Sea trip before, even though he was constantly taking top-grade True Flame Pills, it still consumed a lot of his magic power.

The second Golden Core was already quite dim at this moment.

However, before adjusting his breath, Luo Chen did two things first.

Check the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

"Senior?"

From within, the usual voice came.

"I am here."

It seems Han Zhan is safe and sound?

Luo Chen looked at the spiritual light of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, which had dimmed by a small half, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't ask how the other party was; that illusion was too mysterious and was best at stirring up the ugliness in people's hearts.

Asking too much would be impolite.

Subsequently, Luo Chen cast his spiritual sense into the two spirit beast bags.

"How are you doing?"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Master, do you need help?"

The voices of Black King and Tianxuan came one after another, looking like they hadn't encountered anything.

Luo Chen frowned. "Didn't you encounter an illusion?"

Both demons answered no.

Luo Chen looked at the direction of Liwang Heaven again.

Why were the two spirit beasts unaffected?

Was it the difference in race, or was it because they were enslaved by others and lost their independence, so that starry sky illusion didn't deal with them?

No one answered Luo Chen.

Luo Chen didn't have the mind to get to the bottom of it.

He took out the God-Sealing Compass, arranged the Lanyun Dense Mist Array in the corner, and then sat cross-legged in it to meditate quietly.

The violent spiritual energy around him washed over him.

Luo Chen groaned and forcibly began to absorb and refine it.

If it were before, he would absolutely not dare to do so.

But now, his fourth-tier desolate physique made him feel he could withstand this violent heaven and earth spiritual energy.

And the result was indeed so.

A large amount of spiritual energy entered his body, first filtered by the blood membrane condensed by the source power, and then continuously refined during the operation of the meridians.

When it entered the Qi sea, it already appeared gentle and calm.

Even if the quality was not as good as the normal refined one from the outside world, this part of the magic power was not entering the life-bound Golden Core, but recovering the second Golden Core.

"Wait a little longer!"

"If they still don't come out, I'll leave on my own."

This wait lasted for half a day.

Half a day later, the Master of Moyun Cave stepped out from the exit.

Luo Chen dispersed the array and stepped out refreshed.

"Cave Master, are you okay?"

The Master of Moyun Cave's expression was a bit pale, but his eyes were extremely clear; he nodded to Luo Chen.

"I am fine."

Subsequently, he walked to the side alone and took out a shell-shaped magic treasure from his storage bag.

Magic power was injected, and the shell expanded continuously.

"I intend to adjust my breath and recover my magic power; I'll trouble Fellow Daoist to look after things."

Luo Chen nodded, and then watched the other party step into the shell.

When the shell closed, the heaven and earth spiritual energy around it washed over the shell, and wisps of spiritual energy could be seen seeping into it with the naked eye.

"Interesting magic treasure."

Luo Chen muttered, and looked at the exit where the stars were shining.

Ding Yi, he had been delayed for too long.

He curled his lips, opened his Qi armor, and walked around in the stone hall.

After walking for a while, Luo Chen's footsteps stopped beside a stone pillar.

"This architectural style, it seems I have never seen it before?"

Fingers rubbing the relief on the stone pillar, Luo Chen frowned slightly.

On it, a demon wolf with three heads was carved; the color couldn't be seen, but the demon wolf's expression was extremely ferocious.

And this kind of demon wolf, he had never seen recorded in the classics of the Eastern Wasteland and the North Sea.

"Senior, do you recognize this thing?"

Han Zhan's voice came out faintly. "I don't recognize it, nor have I seen it; it doesn't look like a demon of the Mountain Sea Realm."

"What about the others?"

Luo Chen's gaze swept over; there were many reliefs carved on other stone pillars in the hall.

Many strange beasts, with different styles.

Han Zhan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I don't recognize them either."

Being able to make the knowledgeable Han Zhan so unfamiliar, Luo Chen became increasingly cautious about the subsequent actions.

"Void Refinement True Monarch, Land of Fallen Demons; I fear the owner of this place was not an existence of the Mountain Sea Realm while alive!"

Luo Chen muttered.

Just at this time, light flickered at the exit.

Luo Chen turned his head abruptly and looked, and a pair of cunning and cruel eyes met his.

But just at a glance, the gaze dissipated and turned into a look of confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Ding?" Luo Chen took a step back and asked in a deep voice.

Ding Yi looked at the surroundings blankly, then shook his head violently, covering his head, and made a painful sound.

Luo Chen became increasingly guarded, and even the sound of a sword could be heard faintly from the sword box behind him.

Just as he was about to take action, Ding Yi's trembling body slowly returned to calm.

"I am fine, just that my soul was injured by the illusion, and it's somewhat unbearable."

Ding Yi signaled Luo Chen not to take action while finding a corner with weaker spiritual energy to sit cross-legged.

Luo Chen frowned and watched this scene, his mind constantly replaying the cunning and cruel look the other party had revealed when he first entered the hall.

That was not Ding Yi's look!

Luo Chen was guarded in his heart, and his figure had unknowingly walked to the gate of the main hall.

Everyone had gathered, and next, they should explore this Land of Fallen Demons and find the Five-Element Lotus Platform.

He looked back at the two, and then firmly pulled open the gate.

Hu!

A gust of wind blew in, carrying the iron smell of corrosion and endless sharpness.

At just a glance, Luo Chen was stunned by the scene before him.

Mountain peaks towering into the clouds, as if long swords were inserted upside down, stretched all the way forward, with no end in sight.

Luo Chen muttered:

"Is this still the lifeless Sinking Sea?"
