Chapter 714: Origin power, one against three

Seven years ago.

When the Heavenly Machine Pill, personally refined by the Pill Saint before leaving, was refined by the Withered-Flourishing True Fire, the surging spiritual energy instantly vented out.

The spiritual energy was so abundant that it far exceeded Luo Chen's imagination!

If ordinary Tier 4 phantom cores' spiritual energy could be described as a thread, the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Machine Pill could be called a "strand"!

It was a mixture of dozens or hundreds of threads of spiritual energy, all imprisoned within the pill, which could be called massive!

It was precisely upon seeing that surging spiritual energy that Luo Chen realized why Xiang Qi, Shi Ju, and others were so eager for the Heavenly Machine Pill.

In the hundred years in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, the limit of phantom beasts that could be hunted was probably just about that much.

Upon seeing that strand of spiritual energy, Luo Chen did indeed have some regret.

But the boat was already built, so he could only let it be.

To be safe, except for the first split soul, he put all his attention into watching the transformation of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire.

If something went wrong, at least he would have time to remedy it.

However, this time, everything went smoothly, and no more accidents occurred.

With this massive spiritual energy supplement, the exhausted Withered-Flourishing True Fire regained its strength and began to climb upward.

At the core of the true fire, that wisp of Nirvana Holy Fire was still indestructible, unable to be refined, and even continued to affect the transformation of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire.

But the spiritual energy supplement was not just as simple as providing energy!

At that moment, the Withered-Flourishing True Fire had a resonance with this piece of heaven and earth!

Borrowing that strand of spiritual energy, the fire spirit escaped into the depths of the energy ocean of this realm, constantly diving, looking for the echoing origin power.

And because it was a natural strange fire, inherently born of heaven and earth, this process went exceptionally smoothly.

So it triggered a large amount of heaven and earth energy to pour in, passing through Luo Chen's body, constantly entering the Withered-Flourishing True Fire in the Purple Mansion.

And inside the Purple Mansion, the Withered-Flourishing True Fire also began its final transformation.

Benefiting from the massive energy pouring in, it forcibly suppressed the influence of the Nirvana Holy Fire and began to grow wildly.

If it continued like this, Luo Chen only needed to wait for the merit to be completed.

But strangely, in the process of carefully watching the transformation, he gradually had some insights.

All things in the world, from the moment of birth, move toward death while living.

But if life has spirit, no one hopes for death, so they are flourishing, pursuing immortality.

Just like this fire, burning fiercely, it cannot escape the end of turning into ashes. But within the ashes, it contains the power of rebirth, which is why it can rise from the ashes.

Just like that wood, lush and covering the sky, even if the seasons change and the sun and moon rotate, it eventually falls into withered wood, but the roots buried deep underground will still accumulate strength, expecting one day to return to flourishing.

Such a cycle of heaven's principles, withering and flourishing, is the Dao of Withering and Flourishing.

Luo Chen didn't know if his insight was right or wrong; all laws in the world are illusory and unreal, changing and impermanent; by observing the transformation of the origin true fire, what he observed might only be the surface.

But things in the world are always like this, losing in the east and gaining in the west.

The massive heaven and earth energy poured into the Withered-Flourishing True Fire through Luo Chen's body, and Luo Chen also had a connection with this heaven and earth, and even as the master of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire, he vaguely sensed where the fire spirit had gone.

He also wanted to go there!

The moment this consciousness was born, the massive cyan fire covered Luo Chen's Nascent Soul, and his divine sense went straight into the cyan clouds!

Chasing the unknown direction, he stepped into the ocean of energy.

That was a strange place, impossible to describe with words in Luo Chen's knowledge, only feeling the five colors were blurry, brilliant and dazzling, and one would sink into it if not careful.

It also seemed like a mother's womb, a wanderer returning home, giving rise to the thought of never leaving again out of closeness.

Vaguely, not knowing where to come from, nowhere to go.

Just at this time, a lively voice rang out.

"Master, I am here!"

Seven years later, today.

Lin Bufan squatted in a mountain stream, scooping up

a handful of clear snow water, his face full of confusion.

"Why did the snow melt?"

Lin Jingtang frowned, "Why observe these? Shi Ju and the others have passed; let's go and see what's going on!"

Lin Bufan casually shook off the water in his hand, following the other party, heading north.

It was just that when passing by a small mountain full of mountain flowers, he felt puzzled again.

"Why did the Seeking-Child Flower bloom?"

"It would be fine if the Seeking-Child Flower bloomed, but the Host-Mother Flower, which is very close, withered again."

No one answered his confusion.

All there was, was a roar in the sky.

"Luo Chen, get out here!"

It was Shi Ju who spoke, but it was Qi Xiongcheng who took action.

A giant palm covering the sky slowly manifested, slowly falling.

As this palm was slapped out, the mountains seemed unable to bear its weight, large swaths of snow mountains began to collapse, and even more light curtains rose one after another, only to shatter inch by inch.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Many concealment arrays and defensive arrays set up by Luo Chen in advance, without anyone presiding over them, were all destroyed in this palm.

When all the arrays dissipated, on a high mountain, Luo Chen's figure appeared.

Below the mountain, the avalanche rolled, forming a white ocean.

Between the mountains, the gale blew, blowing Luo Chen's white robes hunting, and a head of long hair flying wildly behind his head.

And he never opened his eyes, remaining indifferent to everything happening in the outside world, still sitting there quietly.

Seeing this scene, Shi Ju showed a triumphant smile.

He had finally found him!

But Luo Chen's indifferent appearance also made him vigilant.

"Go, kill him!"

At Shi Ju's order, Qi Xiongcheng took action without hesitation, a black long knife appearing in his intact left hand, charging toward the snow mountain.

And Wang Yifu, who had followed all the way, naturally didn't need to say, full of hatred, charging forward with a verdant bamboo staff, and halfway there, he launched one staff shadow after another.

Shi Ju's folding fan was half-open and half-closed, strands of golden flames diffusing, ready to add a strike at any time.

High in the nine heavens, the white eagle screamed continuously, staring fixedly at Luo Chen.

It still remembered that this person had sucked away a large amount of spiritual energy and had even seriously injured its body with one sword.

Behind, the Gu and Lin family forces watched this scene quietly, as if only watching from the sidelines.

But judging from the restlessness of their respective guardians, it was clear they would not stand idly by.

"This time, he is in the open, without the opportunity to accumulate that sword in the dark; can he withstand the attacks of Shi Ju and the others?"

"He is in sudden enlightenment and has no strength to fight back!"

This conversation came from the mouths of Gu and Lin.

On the mountain top.

Luo Chen's eyelids moved, as if he was about to wake up, but in the end, he did not wake up.

The remaining split soul sighed quietly, having already summoned the Yu Tu Sword.

"It's a pity that the Nascent Soul is carrying the main soul and cannot move; the magic power I can mobilize is meager, and I can't fight for much time."

"Try my best; at worst, I will shatter this split soul at the Nascent Soul level!"

Just as Luo Chen's split soul was preparing to shatter the soul and fight, a figure appeared in front of him at some unknown time.

It was her!

Beautiful, with an exquisite figure, on a face that had become much thinner, there was a complex emotion.

"This time, it's my turn to protect you."

Fu Qinglan muttered, her delicate mouth spitting out a verdant tender leaf, which flew out slowly.

Once the green leaf came out, a large amount of magic power poured into it.

In an instant, the green leaf expanded wildly, like a sky curtain, blocking in front of everyone.

Blade light and staff shadows fell simultaneously.

No sound was made, and the green leaf was as tough as before.

Fu Qinglan, however, frowned slightly.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she moved her lotus steps, blocking the crowd's view of Luo Chen.

"Fellow Daoists, why not give Qinglan some face and leave separately?"

Wang Yifu was the first to disagree!

The bamboo staff in his hand was ready to go, about to continue the attack.

Shi Ju flew in front of him, his gaze narrowing as he looked at Fu Qinglan.

No longer the cultivation of a newly entered Nascent Soul, but a genuine Nascent Soul first level, and the aura was full and vibrant.

Especially the means she had just used to easily block the two great Nascent Soul True Persons...

"You succeeded?"

Facing Shi Ju's aggressive gaze, Fu Qinglan looked back at the white-robed man sitting on the mountain top.

"Yes, I succeeded."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.

Lin Bufan showed a bitter smile; he didn't expect that among him, Yu Xu, and Fu Qinglan, the first to grasp the true meaning of the laws was not him, whose spiritual sense was the sharpest, nor Yu Xu, who had a wealthy family background, but Fu Qinglan, who had forcibly broken through to the Nascent Soul stage for the competition and whose foundation was not very stable!

Lin Jingtang clenched his fists; the gap between them was definitely not because Lin Bufan and Fu Qinglan were better, but only because of the gap between their guardians.

It was his failure!

Gu Yuan and Gu Chen looked at each other, then nodded slowly.

"The Fu family will flourish again because of this woman; if she can achieve the Soul Transformation realm in the future, perhaps Heavenly Origin will produce another Great House! After going back, we must win over the Fu family."

Shi Ju, who was facing Fu Qinglan, was silent for a moment.

But soon, he laughed out loud.

"Even if you grasp the true meaning of the laws, so what? That is only the most basic origin power, at most increasing your magic power by a few points."

"In the end, you are only at the first level of the Nascent Soul!"

"You cannot protect him!"

While speaking, the folding fan opened completely.

He quickly transmitted messages to Qi and Wang.

"She has been in the Nascent Soul stage for too short a time and hasn't mastered many Nascent Soul means. Moreover, her magic power is thin and cannot block you for long; attack her with all your might!"

Qi and Wang, from their initial fear, also began to calm down.

Nascent Soul cultivators grasping the true meaning of the laws is indeed powerful.

But in battle, it ultimately depends on their respective means and corresponding realms.

Fu Qinglan's means were not refined, her realm was not high, and even if wood-type origin power could amplify her magic power, it could not withstand consumption.

Attack her with all your might!

The next moment, the two took action together.

The black blade light transformed into a hundred feet, the verdant bamboo staff filled the sky with bamboo shadows, striking at Fu Qinglan together.

The cyan-green leaf petals appeared again.

The leaf veins on it were slender, like human blood vessels and meridians, stretching and pulling a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy to gather.

This magic treasure was refined by the Fu family from ten-thousand-year-old Fuso leaves, and after being baptized by the power of heavenly thunder when Fu Qinglan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, it achieved the True Artifact level.

She named it Covering Sky Leaf, meaning one leaf covers the sky.

It was also the means she was most proficient in after achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

Once the Covering Sky Leaf came out, it was like before, blocking the two's full-strength strike.

But the next moment, a scorching flame swept up!

Shi Ju broke through the leaf, holding the folding fan horizontally, his face ferocious.

"I said, you cannot protect him!"

Fu Qinglan gritted her silver teeth and summoned back the Covering Sky Leaf.

But unlike before, blocking in front, she flicked her wrist, and the leaf covered the mountain top where Luo Chen was, completely wrapping it up.

Swish!

A long sword like autumn water fell into her slender jade hand.

"You want to draw your sword against me?"

"Senior Sister Qinglan, have you thought about the consequences of being against me?"

"You only grasped the true meaning of the laws and haven't achieved the Primordial Spirit, let alone a Soul Transformation great power, and the Fu family is only a last-tier family among the Thirty-Six Houses. And my Shi family is one of the Twelve Great Houses!"

Listening to these words, Fu Qinglan showed a look of entanglement.

Shi Ju's mouth curled slightly, "Since you have grasped the true meaning of the laws, this competition should belong to you as the top; staying in the Cave Heaven no longer has any meaning. Why don't you go out first, and the rest has nothing to do with you."

Fu Qinglan's eyes trembled continuously, and her body even subconsciously took a step back.

It was precisely this step that saw two figures approaching within ten miles of Luo Chen's mountain top.

Without thinking, she slashed out two sword lights.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Shi Ju cursed in a low voice, and a large amount of golden flames emerged from his body.

Whoosh!

His body began to dissipate inch by inch in the flames, and dots of golden glow diffused.

When the fire light shone again.

The next moment, he had appeared within ten feet of Fu Qinglan.

The folding fan waved, and the flame flow surged.

Fu Qinglan poured out sword light with her long sword, blocking the opponent's attack without showing weakness.

She didn't speak again, only giving her answer with actions.

Don't say, looking at her who seemed weak and wind-blown, her sword light was brilliant in every move, and the originally weak magic power didn't know why it was endless, with no signs of decline.

In the distance, Gu Yuan saw this scene and nodded slightly.

"It seems she has grasped a few methods of using origin power."

According to the clan's records of origin power, this kind of true meaning of the laws, although the most basic, is also extremely wonderful.

Not only can it amplify the might of magic power, but it can also quickly convert heaven and earth spiritual energy into one's own magic power during battle, making magic power endless.

If it can be in a place where the spiritual energy of the corresponding attribute is rich, the conversion speed is even faster, which can be called endless!

If it reaches the Soul Transformation realm, even without the advantage of the terrain, one can rely on origin power to forcibly convert the natural environment, giving oneself a home-field advantage.

Fu Qinglan is not stupid.

She just lacks combat experience in life-and-death struggles with others.

At this moment, under full-strength fighting, her combat ability is growing wildly!

Fu Qinglan herself clearly discovered these clues, changing from the original conservative defensive posture to becoming active. She even used magic power to maintain the state of the Covering Sky Leaf while fighting Shi Ju to block the other two's attacks on Luo Chen.

Suddenly!

"Solve this first!"

At Shi Ju's greeting, the two flew over, joining forces to attack Fu Qinglan.

One-on-one, Fu Qinglan was still at ease.

But one-on-three, especially Qi Xiongcheng and Wang Yifu had rich combat experience, and she clearly showed signs of being unable to support.

The magic power converted from thin air was also intermittent.

After only dozens of rounds, injuries appeared on her body.

In the distance.

Lin Bufan watched this scene, happy that Fu Qinglan's strength had greatly increased, but also worried that she had grasped the Dao for too short a time, her means were not refined, and she was retreating steadily under the siege of three people.

Lin Jingtang seemed to know what he was thinking, saying in a low voice: "You said that phantom core was the last gift for her. From the time the Wild Loose Practitioner snatched love with a sword, Fu Qinglan was no longer your friend."

Lin Bufan opened his mouth, finally sighing.

Seeing him like this, Lin Jingtang licked his lips with his tongue, shook his hand, and the Shocking Bell appeared in his hand.

He did not hesitate, flying directly toward the battlefield.

"Jingtang, don't move her!"

Lin Jingtang looked back at Lin Bufan, their eyes meeting, their intentions self-evident.

He nodded, his escape light rising, holding the large bell and flying toward the mountain top where Luo Chen was.

At this moment, Fu Qinglan had no time to care about anything else.

Lin Jingtang held the large bell, looking down at

that touch of cyan green mulberry leaf.

"That palm, I remember it clearly!"

Slapping with one hand, the large bell fell with a boom!

The Covering Sky Leaf erupted with cyan green light, blocking it firmly outside.

Lin Jingtang shouted in a low voice, slapping the bell three more times.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"No!"

In the distance, Fu Qinglan flew backward, spitting blood, her face full of despair.

On the mountain, the cyan green leaf flashed light urgently a few times, finally shrinking abruptly, turning into a mulberry leaf and flying toward Fu Qinglan.

And Luo Chen appeared in the world again.

Lin Jingtang was happy, mobilizing the large bell to fall.

Just at this moment, in his pupils, a flash of blood light was reflected.

Sizzle!

The sword light, condensed to the extreme, gradually dissipated, turning into a blood sword circling above Luo Chen's head, making a woo-woo sound.

Lin Jingtang lowered his head, looking at his chest, where there was a huge hole.

The top-grade defensive magic robe had no defensive effect under that sudden and incomparable sword.

Where the blood sword passed, the Purple Mansion was broken.

The Nascent Soul main body appeared with a large hole, and a large amount of pure magic power was uncontrollably venting toward the outside world.

"How could this be?"

He opened his mouth.

Beside his ears, besides Lin Bufan's anxious voice urging him to activate the Phantom Chess, there was also Luo Chen's sneer.

"A defeated opponent, seeking your own death!"

"How could it be like this?"

He opened his mouth.

Beside his ears, apart from Lin Bufan's anxious voice urging him to activate the Illusion Chess, there was also Luo Chen's cold laughter.

"A defeated opponent, seeking your own death!"
