Chapter 721

"Black King, you must protect them for me!"

A month later, Luo Chen said this.

As his left arm shook, a miniature small dragon fell to the ground.

Rubbing his arm, Luo Chen looked somewhat helpless: "Don't lie on my hand next time."

Black King felt a bit aggrieved.

Somehow, after he switched to practicing the Desolate Beast Dao and advanced to the fourth rank, he became more and more intimate with Luo Chen.

Not to mention the Hunyuan Cauldron, he didn't even want to stay in the spirit beast bag.

He just wanted to shrink his body and stick to Luo Chen.

It was as if just breathing the aura emitted from Luo Chen's body would be beneficial to his cultivation.

At this moment, he looked at Luo Chen curiously.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Up there!"

Luo Chen pointed to the dome of the chariot, but he didn't set off immediately, but instead carved prohibitions on the chariot with magic power.

One after another, prohibitions fell, crisscrossing and connecting into a complete fourth-rank array.

This array was a variant of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Teleportation Array, which could not teleport directly, but could locate.

Luo Chen didn't know how long he would stay after going up.

But the Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot couldn't stop and needed to continue moving forward, so to prevent losing the target, he needed to leave such a "coordinate."

As the last prohibition fell, Luo Chen wiped his hand, and the light converged.

"Protect them well, I'm off!"

As the words fell, Luo Chen quietly left the chariot without attracting anyone's attention.

Before leaving, he glanced at the scene on the chariot.

Zhang Jingqing stood at the front of the flying chariot, the breeze blowing her hair, her expression somewhat lonely.

Tianxuan was meditating to restore magic power.

Sang Jinghe was inputting magic power into the array hub of the chariot, supplemented by the surrounding spirit stones, driving the Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot to move forward rapidly. However, in his other hand, he was holding a brand-new book, reading a paragraph from time to time. It was one of the many classics related to spirit plants he had copied in the Central Plains.

"Quite studious!"

Luo Chen smiled lightly, the Nascent Soul echoed Heaven and Earth, controlling a batch of wandering spirit energy to drag him to rise rapidly.

The place he was going to was called Nine Heavens!

Nine Heavens is the limit of Heaven!

Simply put, it is the highest place in this realm, also known as the Nine Heavens, Green Underworld, etc.

It is rumored that it is sparsely populated and few living beings survive there.

But it doesn't mean that the Nine Heavens are empty; there are still some special living beings, and some unexpected treasures hanging in the air.

Luo Chen went to the Nine Heavens to collect the spirit elites he needed to practice the "Thousand Heavens and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture."

Whoosh!

A figure shot up into the sky like an arrow off a bowstring.

Piercing clouds and crossing fog, wind hissing and rain urgent.

On the vast sea, if there were those whose vision was comparable to Luo Chen's, perhaps they could see a meteor going against the current.

But in just the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared completely, sinking into the Green Underworld.

With Luo Chen's current speed, ten thousand miles away could be reached in an instant.

But for some reason, after Luo Chen flew to ten thousand miles high, his speed couldn't help but slow down.

"Is the controllable wandering spirit energy sparse?"

Luo Chen's speed slowed slightly, and he paused to observe the surroundings.

He reached this conclusion after about a while.

But it was not just that; he could feel that breathing had become a bit difficult.

But this had no effect on him.

Luo Chen opened his mouth wide, and his chest and abdomen contracted.

"Hoo..."

The long breath caused Luo Chen's chest and abdomen to bulge.

He closed his mouth suddenly, and his chest returned to normal.

But a breath of air that could support Luo Chen for at least three years was taken into his abdomen.

"The Qi-taking method I learned when I was young is still so useful!"

Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth, looking up at the sky.

Ten thousand miles is by no means the limit of this realm.

The Nine Heavens are even higher!

Luo Chen released his magic power, which turned into a cloud of fire to lift him up, rushing toward a higher place like an arrow off a bowstring.

After the Nascent Soul, cultivators rarely ride clouds and mist for daily travel.

Because riding clouds and mist often consumes one's own magic power, for Nascent Soul cultivators like them who can control wandering spirit energy of the same attribute, based on the principle of saving as much as possible, they often adopt the method of spirit energy lifting, which is slightly slower.

Therefore, in a sense, cloudless flight that does not consume magic power and the Nascent Soul domain also belong to the signs of Nascent Soul cultivators.

With the lifting of the magic cloud, Luo Chen's speed of descent became fast again.

Ten thousand miles, twenty thousand miles, thirty thousand miles...

The further back, the greater the pressure Luo Chen felt.

That pressure came not only from the sky, but also from the ground that was far away.

"Gravity?"

When he reached sixty thousand miles, Luo Chen found that the pressure here had reached the limit of a normal cultivator.

If a Golden Core cultivator came here, they would inevitably be exhausted and fall into the dust. If they were not careful when landing and didn't react, they might be smashed into meat pies.

Even for them, Nascent Soul cultivators, they had to drum up their magic power to continue moving forward.

"No wonder the resources from above the Nine Heavens are so rare and precious; just going up has stumped countless people. For Nascent Soul fellow Daoists to go up once, magic power must also be greatly consumed. However, this cannot stump me!"

Luo Chen smiled lightly and actually withdrew the magic cloud!

Not only that, but the magic power shield covering the outside was also withdrawn together.

Then...

Swish!

A pair of red wings suddenly unfolded behind his back!

It was precisely the Moon-Breaking Wings that had been silent since the Nascent Soul!

This magic treasure was tailor-made for Luo Chen by a master in Tianfan City, and it was originally only at the low-grade level.

But after a hundred years of nourishment, and accepting the baptism of thunder tribulation together when Luo Chen formed the Nascent Soul.

Although it couldn't break through to the True Artifact level because of its own material, it reached the high-grade level.

It could be considered an excellent flying magic treasure, not inferior to some ordinary True Artifacts.

But high-grade magic treasures might still be useful for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, but for Luo Chen, who had many treasures, it was of no great benefit.

Especially since his own speed had long since far exceeded the Moon-Breaking Wings.

Therefore, Luo Chen had fought many times since forming the Nascent Soul, and this treasure hadn't appeared much.

But now, it was its place to shine.

Compared to the magic cloud, the magic power consumed by the magic treasure was much less.

As the wings unfolded, Luo Chen rushed straight to the Nine Heavens!

The huge pressure shrouded him, but it was like a breeze blowing on his face, unable to press his body at all.

Strands of blood light flowed, unloading those external pressures.

Luo Chen actually used his strong flesh to forcibly break through the last thirty thousand miles.

As soon as he stepped out of the ninety thousand miles, Luo Chen felt his body lighten.

He looked up subconsciously, only to see the universe dark and vast, with only stars twinkling, emitting faint light.

Compared to this infinite universe, he was actually so small!

In his heart, a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose.

What about Nascent Soul? What about Soul Transformation?

In this vast universe, it is ultimately just a speck of dust.

It is rumored that even this vast universe has a time of return to ruins and destruction. Is the longevity pursued by these cultivators really longevity?

If one cannot truly live forever, what is the meaning of the hundreds of hardships and thousands of sufferings experienced now, and the ten thousand calamities that must be suffered in the future?

The white-robed man stood blankly in the Green Underworld, his eyes confused.

But the next moment!

"Open!"

A light shout, like a Hong bell and a great drum, resounded in the spiritual sea.

The confused soul suddenly shook.

"Hoo hoo hoo..."

Luo Chen gasped for air, and large beads of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

"What happened just now? I actually lost my mind and couldn't extricate myself!"

Luo Chen, who had woken up, swallowed his saliva with great fear.

The moment he saw the vast universe, he actually doubted his own ideal that he had insisted on for nearly three hundred years—the ambition of longevity!

If it weren't for the two split souls in the sea of consciousness, especially one of which had reached the Nascent Soul initial stage level, and timely applied the Opening Thatch Technique, he would have suffered damage to his Dao heart, and his future cultivation would have been hindered by the demons born from doubting his own path.

In the sea of consciousness, the split soul fell silent again.

Luo Chen slowly came back to his senses.

"Han Zhan, you saved me again!"

With a light sigh, Luo Chen gradually disappeared into the Green Underworld.

Three days later.

In the dead void, suddenly a ray of rosy light appeared.

Just as that rosy light was about to dissipate.

Suddenly!

A strange force suddenly spread out, completely shrouding the rosy light.

Only hearing in the void, a light shout came.

"Collect!"

Afterwards, it was seen that the ray of rosy light was pulled by the strange force, and finally sank into a small tripod.

Luo Chen, sitting in the void, lowered his head and looked at the bright red gas in the Hunyuan Cauldron, showing a look of relief.

"Is this Chixiao Qi?"

Nine Heavens is the limit of Heaven, but the reason why the extreme sky is named Nine Heavens is because in this empty place, there are often nine kinds of special gases.

They are Chixiao Qi, Bixiao Qi, Qingxiao Qi, etc.

These special gases are the natural products of turbid gas sinking, clear gas floating, and spirit energy of a certain attribute gathering in this Green Underworld, and are the most essential things between Heaven and Earth!

Cultivators collect these Xiao gases, condense spell Divine Abilities, and raise two or three mouthfuls in their chest and abdomen. When encountering an enemy, they open their mouths and spit them out, which has the power to break gold and crack stone, collapse mountains and break seas.

According to the records in the "Thousand Heavens and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture," if Luo Chen wants to maximize the power of sword energy, he must collect the Chixiao Qi, Jiangxiao Qi, and Zixiao Qi in the Nine Heavens that are relatively matched to his attributes.

These three kinds of Xiao gases are all fire-attribute spirit elites, or spirit elites that lean toward fire attributes.

However, collecting Xiao gases is also very difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators.

There are three difficulties:

First, it is hard to find! Xiao gases are born without constancy and go without a trace, appearing and disappearing in the vast billions of void. With the divine sense of Nascent Soul cultivators that can only cover a few thousand miles, wanting to encounter them depends on luck.

The second difficulty is that Xiao gases are violent, and ordinary magic treasures are difficult to subdue, requiring great magic power to trap and wear down bit by bit. Sometimes a stream of Xiao gas, finally obtained, only leaves a trace after being worn down.

These two difficulties, the first one Luo Chen cannot solve, and can only depend on luck.

The second difficulty that makes countless Nascent Soul cultivators retreat, instead, is not a problem for Luo Chen.

The Hunyuan Cauldron has a very strong suppression power on such existences!

Just cover the suddenly appearing Xiao gas and suppress it, and it can be subdued quickly.

As for the third difficulty...

Luo Chen glanced at the light spots in the distance and left the place without hesitation.

Not long after, those light spots divided into two groups, one group stopped at the place where the Chixiao Qi appeared, and one group surrounded the direction where Luo Chen stayed before.

Both places were confused.

After a cup of tea.

Luo Chen appeared in a dead void and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unexpectedly, there really are Rosy Light Beasts in the Green Underworld!"

The Rosy Light Beast is named a beast, but it is actually an insect.

It had a name called Xiao Insect before.

According to the records in the classics, the Rosy Light Beast was born in the sea, inhabited the misty place, and fed on various aurora.

It is said that in the meta-magnetic divine light shrouded outside the North Pole Night Mo Heaven, there are a large number of Rosy Light Beasts gathered.

This beast is extremely strong, and under the same rank, it is not inferior to human cultivators who possess various magic treasures and spells.

Luo Chen knew these things, but more importantly, the third-rank Great Perfection Hidden Dust Sand he encountered in the North Sea once pretended to be a Rosy Light Beast, trying to intimidate Luo Chen.

But later, after Luo Chen read more ancient books, his understanding of the Rosy Light Beast became more comprehensive.

This beast's preference for aurora is one aspect, but what they like most is actually various Xiao gases in the Green Underworld.

When Xiao gases appear, they often exist in the shape of rosy light. Once they appear, they will attract a large number of Xiao insects. As long as they swallow the rosy light, their body size will instantly expand and become larger, like a giant beast.

And because of the overflow of rosy light, over time, the name of Xiao insect became unknown, and the name of Rosy Light Beast became circulated instead.

Luo Chen didn't know how powerful the Rosy Light Beasts surrounding the North Pole Night Mo Heaven were, but the Rosy Light Beasts that could move freely in the Green Underworld were absolutely tricky, and they often appeared in groups!

With his current strength, even if he was not afraid, he would not easily provoke them.

Looking back at the way he came, Luo Chen had a sudden inspiration.

If he could enslave these Rosy Light Beasts, could he find various Xiao gases better?

Even, could he solve the three problems at once?

But this thought flashed away.

What he could think of, others could naturally think of.

But for so many years, no one has done it, which shows the difficulty of enslaving Rosy Light Beasts.

"Still continue to depend on luck!"

Luo Chen muttered, found a place where no starlight shone, released his divine sense, and waited for a good opportunity.

It's not easy to come up once, Luo Chen didn't want to go down easily.

Therefore, in this kind of dry waiting, time passed bit by bit.

One day, two days... one month, two months...

Luo Chen's luck was still okay, but in half a year, he had collected seven strands of Chixiao Qi.

According to the records in the sword scripture, if one can refine ten strands of Xiao gas into sword energy, it can be called minor success, roaming the Golden Core realm, which is not a problem.

A hundred strands of Xiao gas can be called entering the hall, even in the Nascent Soul realm, it is considered a powerful means.

If it can reach the realm of Qi rushing to the stars and a thousand heavens flowing together recorded in the sword scripture, this sword scripture can be considered a great success. If it is suddenly released, even a Soul Transformation great power, if not prepared, might suffer a loss.

"It's a pity that I don't specialize in Sword Dao and cannot comprehend sword intent. Otherwise, with sword intent to cooperate with Chixiao sword energy, a thousand heavens flowing together, sword transforming into ten thousand calamities, this is the true fifth-rank sword scripture."

Luo Chen sighed and stood up calmly.

He didn't plan to stay any longer.

Seven strands of Chixiao Qi were enough for him to enter the "Thousand Heavens and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture."

If he wants to continue practicing this method in the future, he can use the evil energy recorded in the sword scripture to replace Xiao gas. The quality might be slightly worse, but as long as the quantity is made up, the power will also be extraordinary!

It was just that collecting Xiao gas was too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

However, before leaving, he looked at the brilliant starry sky again subconsciously.

This time, he did not lose his mind, but his thoughts were thousands, and his imagination was endless.

"Outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, is the vast universe, where does the Immortal Realm come from?"

"What exactly is the so-called ascension?"

"When the Alchemy Saint left, she abandoned the lifting of the spirit energy of a realm and took the path of the Star Gate. Then, did she go to the Immortal Realm, or other worlds?"

"If I were to forcibly break away from the shackles of this realm and step into the universe at this time, what would happen?"

When the last thought arose, Luo Chen was somewhat eager to try.

But in an instant, he suppressed this thought that shouldn't exist.

Ancient legends say that only Soul Transformation can ascend, which is definitely not groundless.

He is only at the Nascent Soul Third Layer now, if he really steps into the endless starry sky, he is afraid it is seeking his own death!

"Forget it, since I can't go out, then I'll walk around inside, and by the way, rush to the Eastern Wasteland."

Luo Chen cut off his thoughts, followed the direction of the Eastern Wasteland, vibrated his wings in the Green Underworld, and hurried on his way.

This journey will not consume a large amount of magic power. In addition to the Moon-Breaking Wings, Luo Chen's strong flesh can also provide explosive speed.

The Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot has already walked for half a year, if Luo Chen wants to catch up, he must be this fast.

Hurrying in the Green Underworld, there is no need to worry about others, which is considered convenient.

Crack!

Pitter-patter!

Boom!

In the Green Underworld, in a void place, I don't know why, there is a large amount of thunder gathered here, as if forming a thunder domain.

A figure with broad shoulders and long hands and feet lay flat in it, letting the strands of thunder strike down, through a large white net, pouring onto him.

Every time a strand of lightning touched his body, the figure would tremble, and a trace of pain would appear on his handsome face.

There was also a pitch-black sword standing on the side, also receiving the baptism of thunder.

Suddenly!

The big sword hummed!

The figure floated up slowly, standing in the void, his eyes opened suddenly.

Chi chi...

Two strands of electric arcs bloomed from his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist has been peeping for a long time, what is the intention?"

Outside the thunder domain, a clear voice came.

"Apologies, just passing by, I have no intention to disturb Fellow Daoist's cultivation."

This voice went further and further, more and more distant, showing how fast the peeping person left.

The man standing in the thunder domain frowned.

In this Green Underworld, the flying speed is actually so fast?

It shouldn't be an ordinary person!

"This seat is Thunder Daoist of the Mingyuan Sect, may I ask your name?"

"A loose cultivator, not worth mentioning."

"Humph!"

Thunder Daoist snorted lightly, seemingly somewhat unhappy with that person's hiding.

And several thousand miles away, Luo Chen, whose speed slowed slightly, put away the restless Hunyuan Cauldron and breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, his Hunyuan Cauldron was carried with him, convenient for collecting Xiao gases that might be encountered on the road at any time.

When he was ten thousand miles away from that thunder domain, the treasure reacted.

Luo Chen thought it was the treasure sensing new Chixiao Qi, so he rushed over specially.

But he didn't expect to encounter a powerhouse practicing in the Nine Heavens Green Underworld.

Nascent Soul late-stage great cultivator!

Thunder Daoist!

Zhang Che!

It is rumored that he is the strongest peerless genius of the Mingyuan Sect since ancient times, forming the foundation in ten years, forming the core in a hundred years, and forming the Nascent Soul at the age of two hundred and fifty. Afterwards, he made rapid progress, not only stepping into the Nascent Soul late stage at the age of five hundred, but also hearing that he realized the power of the laws in advance.

His fighting ability was vividly displayed in the few times he took action against the monster beasts that rushed out of the millions of great mountains in the Eastern Wasteland.

Even with the name of Thunder Daoist, he crossed the two continents and surpassed the two Soul Transformation seeds of the Central Plains Dao Sect, Gu Celebrity Dao Yin and Heavenly Origin Tan Linxian!

And with the Chess Saint Ke Lianshan, they were side by side, known as the two people closest to the Soul Transformation realm in the Mountain and Sea Realm today!

"Unexpectedly, before I arrived at the Eastern Wasteland, I encountered a Mingyuan Sect cultivator."

"He is practicing in the Green Underworld, could it be that he is practicing the Mingyuan Sect's great Meng Shentong, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique?"

Luo Chen pursed his lips, and his figure dropped sharply.

Like a meteorite, he left the Nine Heavens Green Underworld and fell straight into the mortal world. ===== CHAPTER 722 =====
