Chapter 638: Demon Echoes, Unending for a Thousand Years

Wood Heaven Plain.

Named a plateau on the ridge, it is not actually flat.

Mountains rise and fall on it, gullies crisscross, there are also rivers and streams flowing slowly, and the snow on the high mountains does not melt all year round.

This complex and changeable geographical environment provides different survival conditions for the spiritual medicines planted inside.

In the previous plan, it was said that the three would cross the Wood Heaven Plain, but they wouldn't fly directly over.

According to what Taishui said, the Refining Heaven Demon Lord planted a large number of spiritual medicines on the Wood Heaven Plain, and in order to prevent each other from affecting growth, all kinds of spiritual medicines were arranged with arrays according to their corresponding growth habits.

The sky above the entire Wood Heaven Plain was even set with a no-fly array.

Being in this place, one can fly at low altitude, but cannot gallop over from a high place.

For Luo Chen, the Five Elements Lotus Platform was already in hand, and the attraction of the entire Land of Fallen Demons to him had greatly decreased.

Including that inheritance place! According to Taishui's statement and Han Zhan's inference, that inheritance place was ten-to-nine prepared for Nascent Soul True Persons, and even if he, a Jin Dan cultivator, went in, he wouldn't get much benefit.

Therefore, his current plan is very simple.

According to the previous promise, help Taishui escape, then wait for the Land of Fallen Demons' Spirit-Gathering Array to close, and find a teleportation array to leave directly.

During this process, if he encounters a Nascent Soul fierce battle, he doesn't mind taking action to help Han Zhan seize a human Nascent Soul body.

However, since he has come to the so-called True Person's spiritual medicine garden, Luo Chen, this alchemist, naturally doesn't want to return empty-handed.

Picking a few spiritual medicines by the way, why not do it? Especially! Taishui mentioned that there are several demon world spiritual medicines suitable for refining the body growing here.

This made him extremely moved.

After his body-refining realm reached the Fourth Order of the Ancient Era, Luo Chen vaguely sensed an invisible shackle.

Like a bottleneck, and like a lock.

In this way, it restricted his further progress in body refining.

Luo Chen set off in a hurry and didn't have time to analyze where that shackle came from, just simply imagined it when stabilizing his cultivation realm in Penghu.

Either it is the limit of the human body, and it can only reach the Fourth Order of the Ancient Era.

Or it is a problem with the cultivation technique, and the "Ten Thousand Paths Converging" he created himself cannot continue after the Fourth Order.

However, this point is doubtful.

Because Luo Chen's source true fire was greatly improved during the Blazing Purgatory trip, if used to assist body refining, the effect would definitely be better.

And the third point, Luo Chen attributed the problem to the Fierce Fire Cloud Peng essence blood he refined in his early years.

After all, this desolate beast body-refining method of his was derived bit by bit from the Fierce Fire Cloud Peng essence blood as the source and the "Heavenly Peng Transformation" as the foundation.

Compared to a Fourth-Order desolate beast, the potential of the mere Second-Order Fierce Fire Cloud Peng had basically been dug out.

Unless Luo Chen could change the source blood, and it had to be of the same lineage, not conflicting too much with the Fierce Fire Cloud Peng.

Finally, if Luo Chen wanted to go further on the basis of the early Fourth Order of the Ancient Era, it was the most conventional reliance on external objects.

What is an external object? A top-level body-refining spiritual medicine like Black Emperor Paste is enough! Therefore, when he heard that there would be demon world spiritual medicines suitable for body refining on the Wood Heaven Plain, he was truly moved.

Whoosh... the breeze blew.

Three figures landed on a forest-white rock.

Looking at the huge depression below, Taishui's face was very ugly.

"North Sea cultivators are too impolite!" The Cave Master of Moyun was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Luo Chen lowered his body and grabbed a handful of scattered soil on the rock.

"It's Green Pouch Soil."

The Cave Master of Moyun was puzzled, "Green Pouch Soil has a soft texture and doesn't form a shape when condensed. Isn't it very poor spiritual soil?"

Luo Chen stood up and shook his head slightly.

"For artifact refiners, these characteristics of Green Pouch Soil are shortcomings and cannot be used for casting tools.

But for spiritual planters who cultivate spiritual plants, Green Pouch Soil is an extremely excellent soil, soft and easy to take root, and it doesn't form lumps when condensed, which is convenient for fertilization.

In addition, if it is matched with other special soils, it can cultivate a high-level spiritual soil called Green Immortal Pouch, which can allow some rare spiritual medicines to be wrapped in it and grow vigorously."

Speaking of this, Luo Chen looked at Taishui.

"If I'm not mistaken, this place originally had three acres of Green Immortal Pouch soil, specially used to cultivate some kind of rare spiritual medicine, right?"

Taishui nodded with a gloomy face.

"That's right, this place used to be a garden specially cultivated by the True Person for Dragon Saliva Grass.

Those foreign cultivators collecting Dragon Saliva Grass is one thing, but they actually dug away the soil as well, it's simply insane!"

Dragon Saliva Grass! Then that's right.

This thing is Fourth-Order, and it has an excellent auxiliary cultivation effect for demon beasts like reptiles.

However, Dragon Saliva Grass has extremely high requirements for soil quality. Once it leaves this piece of Green Immortal Pouch soil, it will wither in no time.

If it were Luo Chen, in the situation where he couldn't refine Dragon Saliva Grass into pills immediately, he would also ten-to-nine dig three feet into the ground and take away both the soil and the grass.

The Cave Master of Moyun was somewhat surprised, "Demon Lord, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the cultivation of spiritual plants!"

Luo Chen smiled, "I just know a few friends who are proficient in this path, and got some common sense, it can't be called proficient."

This statement of his was really not false.

Whether it was the family of Granny Yuan, Yuan Dongsheng, whom he met when he was young, or Sang Jiugong, with whom he had a friendship in the Wan Xian Society later, they were all not ordinary spiritual planters.

Even Fu Jiusheng, the herb picker, was proficient in distinguishing soil and the growth habits of spiritual medicines.

After long-term association, Luo Chen indeed learned some relevant knowledge.

Taishui was angry at this moment.

That feeling was like a watchdog discovering that things in the house had been stolen, no, it was that the house had been moved away! He walked around the huge depression a few times and muttered: "Even Yuan Demon Sect cultivators know about sustainable development and regular harvesting of spiritual medicines.

How could they be like these barbaric cultivators, draining the pond to catch the fish, pulling them up by the roots!"

"Abominable, truly abominable!" From the initial impoliteness to the later abominable, it was enough to see Taishui's anger.

Luo Chen could actually understand this situation.

The Yuan Demon Sect thought about conquering the Land of Fallen Demons, collecting opportunities while treating this place as a sect secret realm, and exploring it regularly.

It could even be transformed into a trial place specially for cultivating disciples! This was a sustainable development cause.

But after the Yuan Demon Sect was destroyed, this batch of people who came in, including Luo Chen, didn't think about sustainable development, but a one-off deal! Catch it and leave, rob it and run! Who cares about the growth situation of spiritual medicines in this place a thousand years later, the changes in the ecological environment of this place, etc.

But right now, there was a problem in front of them.

"Fellow Daoist Taishui, those places where spiritual medicines grow that you mentioned, won't they also have been arrived at first by others?"

Taishui's figure stopped, and his face was gloomy and uncertain.

After a long while, he shook his head.

"Should not be.

"Spiritual medicines below the Fourth Order are low-level things for the True Person. Although the planting quantity is large, they are dispensable, just for the convenience of taking them at hand.

"But spiritual medicines of the Fourth Order and above are relatively rare.

For most such growth places, the True Person specially arranged arrays to prevent mutual interference and influence.

"Those arrays isolate the inside and outside, and breaking them is a very time-consuming thing.

"Cultivators entering this place, most of the Nascent Soul generation are aiming for the inheritance place.

Even if they have a preference for certain spiritual medicines, after breaking the array, they will pick them and leave, and will not waste more time on other rare spiritual medicines.

"As for those below the Nascent Soul generation," speaking of this, he sneered.

"If they want to break those arrays, they have to spend time and effort, and maybe they have to lose their lives."

"Let's go!"

"They only arrived a year or a half before us, they won't be ahead by much."

After saying this, Taishui found a direction and flew away at low altitude.

Luo Chen and the other followed hurriedly.

... A mountain hollow.

Seven cultivators dressed in white rushed over.

The leader had wide robes and large sleeves, wearing a high crown on his head, quite a detached demeanor.

Upon landing, the detached male cultivator spread his feather fan, sweeping away the mountain hollow fog, and the situation inside was revealed to the seven people.

One after another, peculiar spiritual herbs that looked like kites, and also like divine birds with broken tails, were swaying their postures slowly. 【6

Do you really think you're something?

However, even if angry, his body still honestly increased the output of magic power.

Within Vermilion Bird Mountain, a deep blue light suddenly intensified, converging toward a figure.

If Luo Chen were here and saw that figure, he would definitely recognize the person's identity.

Shark Emperor Liujun!

The Fourth-Order Demon Emperor who escaped from the North Pole Night Demon Heaven!

Wisps of deep blue light gathered on his body, his aura became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable, and his eyes became increasingly bright.

Suddenly.

His figure stopped in a crater that was burning non-stop.

"Found it!"

"It took more than a year, and my footsteps covered the Five Elements Heaven, finally found you!"

Beneath that crater, endless magma merged into a large lake.

A lotus flower was quietly blooming in the magma lake with five petals of different colors.

As the petals stretched, the light on the lotus flower also constantly changed, sometimes dazzling gold, sometimes green, and as the firelight flowed, it suddenly turned crimson.

Watching this scene, Shark Emperor Liujun's eyes revealed a look of wild joy.

The Five Elements are coiled together, the nature is clear and the life is even firmer. Planting a golden lotus in the fire, it transforms into a god and an immortal!

This legendary Five Elements Lotus Platform had a quality even higher than he had imagined!

"This trip was ultimately worth it!"

Seemingly having suppressed himself for a long time, the extremely handsome-looking Liujun laughed loudly at this moment, disregarding his demeanor.

Following his loud laughter, the magma lake immediately boiled.

That five-colored lotus platform began to sink slowly.

"It actually gained spiritual intelligence, how can I let you escape!"

Shark Emperor Liujun's expression changed, and the deep blue light in his hand immediately surged toward the magma lake.

Not only that, but he also moved his mind, and his Nascent Soul domain suddenly unfolded!

Isolating the fire-attribute spiritual energy of this place, he wanted to separate that five-colored lotus platform.

Amidst the thousand-mile red clouds, two huge figures collided violently, stirring up endless ripples.

Looking closely, both had the same appearance.

Even the colors on their bodies were exactly the same.

Both were crimson Great Pengs!

"The spiritual intelligence is quite sufficient, actually able to borrow the clouds to transform and resist my attacks."

Luo Chen, who had changed into his Heavenly Peng true body, was pleasantly surprised instead of shocked.

This Burning Heaven Fire had already gained spiritual intelligence, and its strength was definitely not inferior to that Nine Yang Golden Eagle, and even because of the home-field advantage, it was three points more formidable.

But unfortunately, its home field was also Luo Chen's home field!

Within these thousand-mile fire-clouds, the power of Luo Chen's Forest Fire Prison reached its maximum, no longer limited to a hundred-zhang radius, and could spread to a thousand zhang, five thousand zhang.

No matter where the Fire Spirit of the Burning Heaven Fire fled, Luo Chen could follow like a shadow.

Speed was the absolute gap between the two!

Later on, the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit also realized it couldn't escape and began to clash head-on with Luo Chen.

However, Luo Chen, who had directly activated his second form and had the Withered-Prosperous True Fire attached, was not afraid of the burning of the Burning Heaven Fire at all.

After hundreds of rounds, the other party's decline was already apparent.

"Want to run again?"

Seeing the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit, which had transformed into the same appearance as his Heavenly Peng true body, spreading its wings and wanting to leave the thousand-mile red clouds, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

"Unfortunately, it's too late!"

The Forest Fire Prison was urged again, covering a range of several thousand zhang.

Not only that.

In the void, there came sounds of clattering.

Chains flew out from Luo Chen's body, binding the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit with lightning speed.

As the chains touched its body, the Fire Spirit was immediately panicked.

Its body shape also began to change constantly.

From a fire peng to a steed, then to a human appearance, and then to a dragon-giant python, truly fulfilling the meaning of the clouds' thousand changes.

It was just a pity.

Under the spirit-locking power of the Hunyuan Cauldron, no matter how it changed its true body, it couldn't escape.

The Forest Fire Prison began to constrict constantly, and the nine giant chains also tightened more and more.

Finally, the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit revealed its original form!

A flame that looked like a red cloud was struggling and burning there.

Luo Chen looked at this scene with satisfaction; the power of the Hunyuan Cauldron was even greater than before.

Especially for these spirit-soul objects without physical bodies, it had a stronger targeting effect, and he hadn't even taken out the Hunyuan Cauldron's true body, yet he had easily suppressed it like this.

Then next...

Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat.

A wisp of green flame flew out leisurely, transforming into the phantom of a one-zhang small tree in the void.

The small tree stood in the air, its roots directly piercing into the red cloud flame.

"Fourth-Order Source-less Fire, if I want to refine it, I'm afraid it will take quite a bit of time."

Luo Chen muttered, and immediately sat cross-legged in the void without panic, operating his life-bound cultivation technique.

When he began to urge his source true fire to devour the source-less fire again, he suddenly discovered that the refining speed seemed to be much, much faster than before.

"Eh?"

"How can it be so easy, it seems even easier than refining Third-Order source-less fire before?"

Luo Chen was extremely surprised.

While refining the source-less fire, he was looking for the reason for this change.

"Is it because the grade of my Withered-Prosperous True Fire is getting higher and higher?"

"Or am I becoming more and more familiar with this process... or is it the help of my life-bound magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron?"

Perhaps, all these factors were present.

But in the end, Luo Chen found the main reason for the faster devouring speed.

On the system panel, a term was flashing with brilliant light.

Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture Grandmaster 501/I don't know when, the proficiency of his life-bound cultivation technique had quietly advanced to the Grandmaster level!

After noticing this change, Luo Chen was extremely excited, almost interrupting the process of devouring the Fourth-Order Burning Heaven Fire.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he immediately restrained his excited mood.

But even so, Luo Chen was still extremely happy.

This cultivation technique, the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture," could be called the most profound divine art he had ever learned.

Since he got it, it had been more than forty years!

If it were any other cultivation technique or spell he had learned in the past, it would have already reached Great Perfection.

However, the progress of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" was so slow that it was simply outrageous.

Even if he operated it day and night without rest, and his cultivation realm had risen to the Sixth Level of Jin Dan, and he was only a small part away from the Seventh Level of Jin Dan, the proficiency of his life-bound cultivation technique was still stuck at the Perfect level.

It seemed to be only a few dozen proficiency points away from the so-called Grandmaster level, yet it was still crawling like a snail.

One could imagine that it would become more and more difficult later on, and he didn't know how many more years it would take to reach the Great Perfection level.

Yet he didn't expect that after stepping into the Blazing Purgatory and urging his life-bound cultivation technique time and time again to devour source-less fire with his source true fire, the proficiency began to soar.

In just a few months, it had crossed the Perfect level in one fell swoop and reached the Grandmaster level.

And once it reached this level, the efficiency of devouring source-less fire suddenly increased more than tenfold.

"Sure enough, the function of devouring source-less fire originates from this set of cultivation techniques!"

"It could even be said that this miraculous function should only be displayed when one has cultivated to a profound level, that is, the Grandmaster level."

The Grandmaster level on the system panel could be compared to the Great Accomplishment attainments in the mouths of ordinary people!

And Luo Chen had discovered this miraculous use a step early and practiced it, driving this function ahead of time, which also led to the short-term soaring of proficiency.

"This is truly double happiness!"

Luo Chen smiled freely, his magic power intensified, and the devouring process accelerated by another three points.

A few days later.

Luo Chen drifted down slowly from the thousand-mile red clouds.
