Chapter 665: Relics of two True Persons, sword array reappears

The main material for the Great Soul Pill belongs to rare resources, but it is not uncommon.

In fact, Luo Chen had even obtained it before.

Its name is Soul Essence!

Every living being has three souls and seven spirits.

Formless and qualityless, without phase or breath.

Only after reaching a profound realm can the soul condense into substance and manifest.

The so-called Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings, appearing to have solid bodies, are actually mostly filled with Yin energy.

Ancient and modern cultivators are extremely intelligent, extracting essence from massive amounts of illusory souls using secret techniques to form the so-called Soul Essence.

It is rumored that this kind of Soul Essence is a rare resource that is hard to come by!

Taken with secret techniques, it can greatly increase a cultivator's soul foundation.

At the same time, if someone refines Soul Essence and turns it into an attack method, its power will far exceed ordinary soul attack techniques.

The Soul Essence Luo Chen obtained that time came from the killing move of a remnant of the Demon Soul lineage of the Yuanmo Sect that End Li encountered during the Wan Xian Society's demon-hunting assessment mission. After Luo Chen solved this injury for End Li, the Soul Essence was obtained by Luo Chen.

Later, Luo Chen also relied on those Soul Essences to figure out the soul-slashing and soul-breaking effects of the Dragon Slashing Art.

It was also that time that laid the foundation for the battle in the sea of consciousness ten years ago, where he personally killed Han Zhan.

Now, going around in circles, wanting to cultivate Han Zhan's 《Soul Splitting Art》, he needs to collect a large amount of Soul Essence to refine the Great Soul Pill; speaking of which, there is some fate in it.

Thinking of End Li, Luo Chen's expression dimmed, and he didn't know how the other party was doing in the Wan Xian Society, or if they had been implicated by him.

He shook his head and looked at the elixir formula, thinking carefully.

As mentioned before, the thirty-six types of elixir formulas left by Demon Lord Lian Tian do not pursue powerful medicinal power, but universality.

Therefore, Luo Chen had heard of most of the medicinal herbs on them.

For the few he didn't recognize, he also had some vague impressions, presumably because the years were long, leading to the medicinal herbs changing their names.

If he really wanted to spend effort to collect them, it wouldn't be a difficult task.

Only this Soul Essence...

"Among the five continents of the Shanhai Realm, the places that produce the most Soul Essence are the North Sea cultivation world and the Southern Frontier cultivation world. The North Sea is because of the Yuanmo Sect, which encouraged cultivators to slaughter the countless demon beasts in the North Sea to cultivate demonic arts with their flesh and soul."

"Soul Essence is the most needed thing for the Demon Soul lineage."

"In the past, even if someone in the North Sea cultivation world refined a large amount of Soul Essence, the trading channels were basically controlled by the Yuanmo Sect. Now that the Demon Sect has been destroyed, I don't know where those Soul Essences have gone?"

After thinking for a while, Luo Chen carefully put away the elixir formula.

After returning to the human cultivation world, he had to spend some effort to inquire about it.

Subsequently, he looked at the attribute panel again.

Unlike the mixed panel directory in the past, this time there was a subdivision.

Soul techniques were stripped from spells and listed as a separate column.

On it, Soul-Aweing Art, Bewitching Soul Art, and even Mirror Flower Water Moon were all listed.

Overall, the quantity was scarce, far less than the dazzling array of spells and body techniques, which also explained Luo Chen's deficiency in the soul path.

After a cultivator forms a Nascent Soul, the physical body actually doesn't matter that much. In the eyes of some extreme people, the physical body is now just a bamboo raft for crossing the sea, shielding the weak Nascent Soul from the erosion and fusion of the outer heaven and earth.

What is important is the Law and the Soul!

The symbol of the Law is the Nascent Soul, and the manifestation of the Soul is the Divine Soul.

If the physical body is destroyed, a Nascent Soul cultivator can still survive.

If the Nascent Soul is destroyed, a wisp of remnant soul is not far from death.

If the Divine Soul is destroyed, then it is completely finished.

At this moment, the importance of the Divine Soul was raised to the first place!

Luo Chen's lack of attainments in the soul path had become his shortcoming, which was why he forcibly cultivated the 《Soul Splitting Art》 even knowing it was incomplete.

"Rice must be eaten one mouthful at a time, and things must be done one step at a time. Wanting to make up for the deficiency in the soul path is not a one-day task. What's more, the shortcoming of the soul path,"

"the vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators have it, and they have no way either. Before this, I must possess enough self-protection power!"

Luo Chen muttered in his heart, while also calculating his current means.

Not the ordinary means of the past, but powerful means that could contend with, or even threaten, existences of the same rank.

The most prominent one was obviously the superiority in body refining.

The physical body of a mid-fourth-rank Desolate Beast was enough to match the third level of Nascent Soul, or even some weaklings in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

These body techniques, combined with high-speed movement and source power blessing, had very strong threatening power.

Thus, there was one trump card.

Then, there were the means of the Qi-refining Immortal Dao.

Looking at those spells, Luo Chen was a bit helpless.

The spell path he was most proud of in the past was now a bit stretched.

The Dragon Slashing Art was actually an auxiliary spell, and the soul-path means derived from it were only limited to the sea of consciousness.

The Nascent Pill Art, rather than being a spell, was a secret technique for cultivating a second Nascent Pill or even a second Nascent Soul; without a second Nascent Pill, it couldn't be used to fight the enemy at all.

Therefore, he could only optimize the old means of the past.

Now that the realm was higher, the principles of some low-rank spells of the past became simple, and it was not troublesome to improve their power.

Like that Green Yang Great Handprint, Luo Chen had some ideas in his heart.

But those ideas, even if realized, could only be used as conventional means to fight the enemy.

"Conventional ones are also good, a little more is a little more."

"Actually, this Forest Fire Prison, after I possess a true Nascent Soul domain, seems to have become a chicken rib, but it seems to have some merits?"

Luo Chen recalled when he formed his Nascent Soul, his Nascent Soul escaped from his physical body, and in that void, there was a momentary fusion with heaven and earth.

At that moment, he seemed to capture something vaguely, but he missed it.

He now understood what he had missed.

It was the opportunity to comprehend the Law!

Nascent Soul cultivators have too weak a Divine Soul to fuse with heaven and earth for a long time, so even if there is such an opportunity, it is rarely maintained for a long time until the Law suitable for oneself is thoroughly comprehended.

He was not regretful; after all, there were almost no existences in history who could comprehend the Law in the early Nascent Soul stage, and he could have such a turning point, which already showed his talent.

He was rather happy.

Because at that moment, he had a preliminary understanding of heaven and earth.

"If I erase the main effect of the Forest Fire Prison that restricts the enemy, and mainly extract the second form to bless myself, combined with the Nascent Soul domain, will it make my strength change?"

The main effect of the Forest Fire Prison is to make the magic power of Golden Core cultivators restless, so they cannot fight as they wish.

This effect is completely insufficient in front of Nascent Soul cultivators.

And the second form is the True Fire State!

Luo Chen realized it from the battle back then, relying on the Withered-Prosperous True Fire to bless his physical body, and with every move, there was true flame following.

What Luo Chen was thinking now was to integrate the Nascent Soul domain into the basis of the True Fire State.

"There is still some time before Long Yuan Island perishes; before leaving, try to research this move."

Luo Chen set this plan.

Then he took stock of his other means.

The Withered-Prosperous True Fire must not be ignored.

The reason why Luo Chen had such high expectations for the new move, a large part of the credit must be attributed to the Withered-Prosperous True Fire.

This fire had already become spiritual, and if released alone, it could be counted as a major killing move.

If integrated into himself, with every gesture, it would inevitably be stronger!

Finally, there was the life-bound magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Ten years passed, and the Hunyuan Cauldron became silent again, seemingly having completely digested the power of that tribulation thunder.

But Luo Chen could still urge it, and even actively stimulate that power of tribulation thunder.

This could definitely be counted as a major killing move!

If he released the power of tribulation thunder regardless of everything, perhaps

it could reproduce the heavenly punishment thunder tribulation; how could a Nascent Soul cultivator resist it?

After some calculation, Luo Chen's confidence greatly increased.

Although he had no master, he had just achieved Nascent Soul, and he was not that weak, still having some means to rely on.

Moreover, he had other ways to supplement his means.

Closing the attribute panel, Luo Chen waved his hand, and several rays of light fell in front of him.

Storage bag, white jade cloud-pattern belt, Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion, Soul-Summoning Banner.

For the first two, he had successively unlocked many prohibitions during the ten years of consolidating his realm, and he was not far from completely opening them.

As relics of two True Persons, there might be things Luo Chen could use inside.

For the latter two, he couldn't refine them before, but now that the Nascent Soul was stable, he could also try to refine and master them.

"Take your time!"

Time passed bit by bit.

Luo Chen's movements also became faster and faster.

The first completed means was optimizing the Green Yang Great Handprint!

As a powerful spell he relied on to become famous during the Golden Core stage, it had originally been optimized to the point where it couldn't be stronger.

But now, standing on high ground, with the realm and vision of the Nascent Soul stage, he had new ideas.

This day.

On the boundless sea, Luo Chen hovered in the void.

Suddenly.

His right hand, carried behind his back, pushed out a palm.

A huge handprint fell into the sea, exploding boundless waves, leaving five deeply sunken finger prints on the sea surface.

The Black King in the distance saw this scene and didn't think much of it.

The Master's move was a bit more powerful than when he was in the Golden Core realm, but it was just so-so; he felt he could resist it with his physical body.

Luo Chen stood quietly in the void, his expression neither sad nor happy, but his hand movements started again.

This time, it was not the right hand, but both left and right hands moved, ten fingers flying like butterflies, seal formulas changing like rain.

At first glance, the Black King vaguely perceived that these were two sets of magic formulas.

One should be the Innate Seal of the original Innate One Qi Great Handprint of the Green Yang Great Handprint.

The other made him feel very uncomfortable from body to soul, as if full of the taste of slavery.

"It's the Spirit-Enslaving Seal!"

The Black King's heart shook.

He definitely didn't see it wrong; this was the Spirit-Enslaving Seal specifically used by cultivators to enslave spirit beasts. As it was constantly performed, it would gradually enslave the demon beast's soul.

You know, low-rank demon beasts cannot hand over soul blood; wanting to enslave the soul, one can only rely on the combination of spells and elixirs, gradually infecting over time.

And now, what the Master was performing with his left hand was absolutely the Spirit-Enslaving Seal he hated deeply!

"The Master is pinching two seals at the same time; what does he want to do?"

While the Black King was confused, Luo Chen's accumulation of strength ended in a flash.

Hands together, right wrist turned, palm slowly pushed out.

A transparent handprint the size of a palm flew out slowly, its power not apparent.

But after the transparent handprint flew out, its speed became faster and faster, and its size became larger and larger.

The main reason for this size expansion was that countless free-floating ownerless spiritual energy between heaven and earth was gathering towards that handprint.

One zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, and up to a thousand zhang, still not stopping!

Boom!

The huge handprint fell into the sea, rolling forward, pushing horizontally for eight hundred miles without end!

Endless seawater evaporated, and a terrifying heavenly avenue emerged in the boundless sea. At the bottom of the channel, the seabed was bare, with hills and deep valleys. On both sides of the channel, seawater hung high in the sky, huge waves rolling, but unable to fall.

This scene was shocking.

The Black King swallowed his saliva, unable to imagine what it would be like if this move hit him, or hit the land.

Vaguely, the Black King understood the principle of Luo Chen's move.

With the Innate Seal as the base, the Spirit-Enslaving Seal enslaved the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the originally ordinary Green Yang Great Handprint break through its upper limit.

Green

Yang Great Handprint, pushing horizontally for eight hundred miles!

Because of the slight arrogance brought by breaking through the fourth rank, in front of Luo Chen's palm, it vanished without a trace.

Luo Chen still stood in the void, watching the remaining power of the Green Yang Great Handprint disappear, and the boundless seawater rolling to cover that heavenly avenue, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

Being able to make a spell that originally only had the third-rank level break through its upper limit, and not relying on the attribute panel, was truly something to be proud of.

Sure enough, his talent in the spell path was unquestionable.

Glancing at the Black King, Luo Chen waved his hand and returned to the abyss on his own.

Three days later, good luck came again.

Han Zhan's storage bag had its prohibitions completely unlocked by him.

This speed was a bit unexpected, but not strange.

Because this storage bag itself was not of high grade, Han Zhan didn't spend much effort leaving marks, and plus Luo Chen absorbed his soul fragments, so it was so smooth.

Opening the storage bag, Luo Chen took out the things inside one after another.

One Ten Thousand Soul Banner, one set of Seven Evil Swords, none of this was strange; they were originally Luo Chen's things.

He didn't take them seriously either; these things had become a bit of a chicken rib for him now.

Subsequently, there were spirit stones.

Luo Chen held the diamond-shaped crystal in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned.

It had color, golden light shining!

What did this mean?

Top-grade spirit stones!

And ten of them!

A full ten top-grade spirit stones of gold attribute; where did Han Zhan get them?

Immediately, he realized.

"It should be what he obtained in the Puppet Realm!"

"Before, I saw that White Tiger puppet had several grooves on it, obviously for storing spirit stones. And such high-grade puppets cannot be urged by ordinary spirit stones. Obviously, these top-grade spirit stones were the energy source."

"Unexpected joy, unexpected joy!"

Luo Chen beamed with joy and put away these ten gold-attribute top-grade spirit stones.

Then, he took out the last item from the storage bag.

That was a wooden plaque.

A wooden plaque made of Soul-Nurturing Wood.

Holding the wooden plaque, Luo Chen shook his head; there were no remnant souls around him, so this wooden plaque had no place to be used.

Keep it first; maybe it will be useful later.

Just when Luo Chen was about to put it away, his spiritual sense paused suddenly.

He scanned into it carefully, and some information engraved on the wooden plaque flowed into his mind.

After reading it, a look of surprise and joy appeared on Luo Chen's face.

Inside, it actually recorded a sword array!

Its name, Great Five Elements Sword Array!

Han Zhan had obtained Luo Chen's Seven Evil Swords back then, and in order to explore the Fallen Demon Land, he derived a sword array that could control the Seven Evil Swords without the original Seven Evil Sword Array.

This was something Luo Chen knew from the beginning, and even that Soul Heaven Sword Box was something Han Zhan entrusted him to refine.

But what he didn't know was the process.

Han Zhan knew a Two Instruments Five Elements Sword Array in his early years, and he used this as a blueprint to derive the Seven Evil Sword Array.

After deriving the Seven Evil Sword Array, he got inspiration and began to improve the early Two Instruments Five Elements Sword Array, finally obtaining this brand-new Great Five Elements Sword Array.

As stated on it, if this sword array could be formed, its power would be infinite, absolutely no less than the Two Instruments Five Elements Sword Array.

For things like sword arrays, Luo Chen had always been incredibly jealous.

Flying swords had always been the most commonly used magic treasures by cultivators, convenient and fast, and with not bad power.

Arrays were even more synonymous with power.

Combining the two, they could be urged at any time, making people feel unable to compete.

Why did Han Zhan dare to challenge the long-famous True Person Yuding with the strength of an early-stage Nascent Soul in his early years, and why did he dare to launch an opening war to confront the Ao Xiao Demon Emperor? Wasn't it because of the sword array built for him by the power of the whole sect?

In that Fallen Demon Land, Luo Chen also fell into a bitter battle because of Feiyunzi's sword array.

If it weren't for him relying on his own physical body, entering the array with his body, and inducing Feiyunzi to approach, he would have died or been seriously injured under that White Gold Sword Array.

It could be said that any famous sword array was the existence that countless weak cultivators dreamed of.

Luo Chen was not weak, but he didn't mind having one more killing move.

Especially, he was currently lacking in means.

But after carefully studying the Great Five Elements Sword Array, Luo Chen's expression calmed down.

Nothing else!

This sword array was optimized by Han Zhan; its power was stronger than before, and the requirements were also higher.

To form this sword array, the five sword-cultivator puppets were discarded, but what was needed instead were five sword pills of True Tool grade, and they had to be of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth five elements respectively.

In this way, sending and receiving were more as one wished, and the power was more concentrated, especially without the weakness of puppet sword cultivators.

"This should be the self-protection means he made for himself after having a physical body in the future."

"But where can I find five-element sword pills of True Tool grade?"

Luo Chen could only smile bitterly.

Sword pills!

True Tool grade!

And divided into five elements!

I'm afraid even the Yuding Sword Sect at its peak couldn't gather so many sword pills!

While smiling bitterly, Luo Chen had to put away the Soul-Nurturing Wood plaque.

He began to concentrate his energy on refining the Penglai Eight-Corner Pavilion and Feiyunzi's belt.

Three years later.

Luo Chen looked at the brilliant treasure light exploding all over the ground, holding a jade slip in one hand and a gold pill in the other, his expression a bit dazed.

On the jade slip, spiritual light flickered, its name 《Feiyun Casting Record》.

It recorded the lifelong casting insights of Feiyunzi, this master of casting.

But these were not important.

What was important was that at the end of this casting classic, it recorded the method for refining sword pills of True Tool grade!

Apart from being a casting master, Feiyunzi was also a powerful orthodox sword cultivator.

And that gold pill, looking closely, under the blockade of complex prohibitions, had strands of gold silk wriggling.

This was an unrefined gold-attribute sword pill!

Its grade had actually reached the True Tool grade!

If the harvest had been limited to just these things, Luo Chen would not have been so uncomposed.

But if combined with the Great Five Elements Sword Array obtained three years ago, the things in the world actually had such a coincidence...

"Should I count this as turning from bad to good, gaining from misfortune?"

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen looked down at the two things in his hand, with indescribable complex emotions in his eyes.
