778. Chapter 776 Refining the Mysterious Bone Pearl

Hong Lietian's ghost sword and Black Flame Sect's flame power intertwined, forming a barrier that repeatedly repelled the alien species.

Under the cooperation of Hong Lietian and the Black Flame Sect, the threat of the alien species was temporarily brought under control.

Lu Yuan led the disciples in beginning to reinforce the defenses of Lei Huo Dan Ge, ensuring the sect's safety.

Hong Lietian and Su Liyan then joined forces to perfect the sect's protective formation.

Hong Lietian stood at the center of the formation, attentively adjusting the formation diagram.

He felt the formation gradually becoming more stable and powerful.

This was the result of their relentless efforts over several days, and also an important improvement made to protect the sect from alien species intrusion.

Su Liyan stood beside Hong Lietian, holding the Ice Crystal Long Whip, integrating ice-system immortal arts into the formation.

She could feel the flow of her own power, which was a significant progress she had recently gained in her cultivation.

The Cold Jade Ice Shard emitted a chill, providing her with additional power support.

This enabled her to better cooperate with Hong Lietian in adjusting the formation.

Under Lu Yuan's careful organization, Lei Huo Dan Ge began to regain its vitality.

All disciples devoted themselves to restoring combat strength and maintaining equipment.

They cleared the battlefield, inspected and replenished ammunition and medical supplies.

Although the fighting over the past few days had caused significant losses of manpower and resources, everyone remained full of confidence.

Although the surface appeared calm, everyone understood that this was merely the calm before the storm.

Lu Yuan decided to take advantage of this time, having everyone enter secluded cultivation to enhance their strength in order to better face the upcoming challenges.

Upon hearing the sudden request for support from the Black Flame Sect, Lu Yuan did not hesitate.

He quickly organized a rescue team and arranged for Hong Lietian and Su Liyan to go together to provide support.

Hong Lietian's newly forged ghost sword and Su Liyan's Cold Jade Ice Shard became their weapons for jointly defending Lei Huo Dan Ge and fighting alongside the Black Flame Sect.

On the way to provide support, Hong Lietian and Su Liyan jointly studied new formations and magical implements.

They exchanged ideas, inspired each other, and unknowingly reached a higher level of understanding.

However, while they were immersed in their research, the alien species launched another attack.

They hastily stopped their work and prepared to respond.

Just as they were preparing to launch their defense, Su Liyan unexpectedly discovered a mysterious bone pearl.

"Lietian, look!"

Su Liyan exclaimed joyfully.

Hong Lietian immediately turned around and saw the bone pearl in Su Liyan's hand.

A flicker of surprise and anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"What is this?"

Lu Yuan walked over and asked curiously.

Su Liyan handed the bone pearl in her hand to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan carefully examined the bone pearl, but could not identify its origin or function.

Just as they were puzzled, Su Liyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her eyes lighting up as she spoke.

"Perhaps we can use a magical implement to open this bone pearl."

Everyone showed a curious expression, all hoping to solve this mystery.

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement to try, and immediately arranged for everyone to continue onward, seeking a safe place to conduct the experiment before the alien species attacked again.

In a concealed dense forest, Lu Yuan delved into exploring the secrets of that special bone pearl.

He noticed that the energy contained within the bone pearl was affected by some unknown rule, making it difficult to control.

"Where does this bone pearl come from?"

Lu Yuan felt doubtful; he lightly touched the surface of the bone pearl and immediately sensed a mysterious and massive energy surging.

Su Liyan watched Lu Yuan attempt to grasp the bone pearl's internal energy and could not help but ask.

"Lu Yuan, do you have any method to solve this riddle?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and then replied: "Based on our previous attempts with this bone pearl, it seems that only through a special method can we successfully activate it."

"I think we can use a magical implement to open this bone pearl."

Su Liyan nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can place this bone pearl into a specially crafted magical implement, using the power contained within the implement to stimulate its internal energy."

Zi Xi'er, upon hearing their conversation, joined in: "I have seen some suitable magical implements in the Lei Huo Dan Ge's implement treasury; if you need them, I can fetch them for you."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Xi'er, then please trouble yourself."

"We need a magical implement capable of withstanding the impact of the bone pearl's internal power."

Zi Xi'er departed, while Lu Yuan began to consider how to deal with the interference of those mysterious rule powers.

He knew this was a daunting task, but he also believed that with sufficient preparation and maneuvering, everything was possible.

Shortly after, Zi Xi'er returned and handed Lu Yuan an exquisite and ancient magical implement.

"This magical implement is named the 'Qutian Staff'; it is said to have been crafted by ancient immortals."

Zi Xi'er explained: "It possesses strong and stable energy-absorbing functionality, allowing it to avoid interference from unknown forces when in use."

Lu Yuan took the "Qutian Staff" and said in a deep voice: "Good!"

"Let's begin the experiment."

Lu Yuan carefully placed the bone pearl on top of the "Qutian Staff" and employed his own immortal arts to control the implement.

He felt the connection between himself and the bone pearl's internal energy, and this time he was more focused and cautious.

Lu Yuan began to use the power of the "Qutian Staff" to display his profound immortal arts techniques.

He employed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art, placing himself in a balanced and stable state to withstand the backlash of the force within the bone bead.

Su Liyan stared intently at the ongoing experiment, her heart hoping that Lu Yuan would successfully open that bone bead.

She realized that once this mystery was unveiled, it would bring them endless possibilities and power.

As Lu Yuan continuously adjusted his posture and employed immortal arts, he felt a strong yet extremely gentle energy slowly flow into his body.

He personally experienced the changes brought by this pure energy.

Lu Yuan sat in the secret chamber of Lei Huo Dan Ge, holding the mysterious bone bead in his hand, using immortal arts to sense the energy contained within.

This energy seemed to contradict the heaven-and-earth rules of Xiuzhen Jie.

He did not rush to try to crack the bone bead's outer shell, but instead pondered how to avoid the backlash of the heaven-and-earth rules.

Lu Yuan deeply knew that the study of this energy had great limitations, yet he was full of curiosity about its immense potential.

He decided to proceed cautiously; when attempting to bypass the heaven-and-earth rules, he chose to use the vital spirit power hidden within Su Liyan's cold jade ice shard as assistance.

Although Lu Yuan was already one of the top figures in Xiuzhen Jie, this refinement process was extraordinarily difficult.

The relentless assault of the heaven-and-earth rules' backlash on his body and mind left him barely able to endure.

But relying on his steadfastness and his yearning to explore the unknown power, Lu Yuan endured the torment time and again.

After a long and arduous time, Lu Yuan finally succeeded in almost completely refining the bone bead's outer shell. (End of chapter)
