Chapter 1945: Chapter 717: Nirvana Sutra Finalization, Extreme Control Power!
Luo Chen had always discovered that he was easily subjected to "Heart Devil Invasion".
During the Qi Refinement Stage, he suffered from the Heart’s Test.
During the Foundation Establishment Stage, he fell into Demonic Obstruction.
For this reason, he diligently practiced related secret cultivation techniques.
Whether it was the "Ming God’s Divine Cleanse" or the "Dust Origin Technique", both had the effect of honing his consciousness and mental state.
Unknowingly, he gradually forged a strong heart that was resilient and impervious to external devils.
This mental cultivation level, normally inconspicuous, allowed Luo Chen to remain calm in times of great importance, consistently making correct choices amidst countless decisions.
Whether caught in the predicament of Cangwu Mountain, surrounded by powerful enemies in the Land of Fallen Demons, or pursued over vast distances by the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator Moon Independent Cultivator, he maintained inner calm amid the rampant chaos of emotions.
Thus, throughout the entire Golden Core Realm, he never again encountered the Heart Devil Invasion experienced during the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages.
However!
Luo Chen never expected that when the heart demons ceased, external devils would arrive.
Upon breaking through to the Nascent Soul and transcending tribulation, Han Zhan erupted!
That battle for the Sea of Consciousness could certainly be seen as an external devil catastrophe.
It’s been over a decade now, and even though he is safe and stronger than before, he still feels lingering fear.
"In this world of cultivators, is it just me, or is it the same for everyone?"
In his leisure time, Luo Chen often asked himself.
Yet in the end, he never found an answer.
Unable to force an answer, Luo Chen could only let it be and made every effort to strengthen himself.
And now, after the turn of fortune, his gains have exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
The complete Great Five Elements Sword Formation Diagram, Feiyun Zi’s Sword Pill refinement method, and even included was a metal true quality sword pill with no consciousness breath!
Holding that sword pill, Luo Chen pondered.
This must have been a spare weapon Feiyun Zi prepared for himself.
From this perspective, Feiyun Zi, the Sword Cultivator, seems not so pure.
Sword cultivators, through their entire life, cultivate only one sword pill.
When the sword lives, so does the person; when the sword dies, the person dies.
From the very beginning, he had left a way out for himself, no wonder his path of sword was somewhat lacking, far from the imposing phenomenon of one sword breaking ten thousand laws.
"However, in the end, it benefits me."
Luo Chen chuckled softly, putting the formation diagram, artifact refinement directory, and sword pill together.
Four more are needed, once gathered, perhaps I can master a formidable sword formation.
Next, he took stock of other resources in Feiyun Zi’s storage belt.
At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but now tallying them one by one, Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile.
A variety of rare herbs suitable for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, were abundant.
They encompassed various aspects of scriptures, numbering more than a dozen, most of which were rarely seen in the outer world.
For example, a jade slip with no prohibitions contained precisely what Luo Chen needed most.
"North Sea Geography"
Inside, it detailed the geographical environment of the North Sea, with the corresponding force names attached.
Notably, Feiyun Zi had delineated in the jade slip the configuration of North Sea forces post-Yuan Mo.
Mo Luo Sect occupies twelve seas, corresponding to the Twelve Sect Masters.
Penglai Immortal Sect, returning from the Demon Sea, alone occupies three major seas.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly centers around the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, sporadically occupying eight great seas. It seems like a lot, but three of them form the Three Oceans Defensive Line requiring constant demon beast defenses, thus not significant to the outer world.
Additionally, three regions are traditionally Nascent Soul Force strongholds.
In other words, the truly prosperous territories controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly are merely two sea areas.
The most powerful force is the Canghai Righteous Alliance!
With the strength of one alliance, it owns twenty-nine complete sea areas, each with a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator stationed!
If not for this force being an interest alliance, merely relying on the prestige of Great Power Li Canghai to maintain control, internally not united, Mo Luo Sect and Penglai Immortal Sect would likely not dare to confront it directly.
Luo Chen didn’t pay much attention to other scattered small forces.
Only when exiting the jade slip, did his divine consciousness specifically note the sea areas occupied by Tianyuan Business Alliance.
Seven, not many.
However, Tianyuan Business Alliance has increasingly grown in influence over the years, gradually encompassing the three forces of Righteous, Demonic, and Independent cultivators, making its presence felt across the North Sea.
Especially due to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect behind it!
It is a colossal entity standing in the distant Zhongzhou!
Even when the Yuan Mo Sect was still around, it merely faced each other across the sea without interference.
Placing the jade slip within easy reach in the storage ring, Luo Chen sighed in relief.
"With this map, I can avoid many detours when returning to the Immortal Cultivation World."
Subsequently, he continued inventorying Feiyun Zi’s relics.
If asked what’s most plentiful in Feiyun Zi’s belt?
Undoubtedly, items related to Magic Tools!
An ascendant grade magic item, Heavenly Gang Smelting Furnace, holds no combat power, meant solely for artifact refinement and pill refinement.
Three ascendant grade magic flying swords.
Twelve medium grade magic items.
Very few lower grade magic items and magic tools.
Each was personally refined by Feiyun Zi, bearing unique cloud pattern marks.
If all these treasures were to be unleashed, they could arm a small Nascent Soul Sect. If it were a Golden Core Sect, it would arm a Golden Core Great Sect to the teeth.
Luo Chen reached for a long painted halberd, examining it with interest.
This is a strange gate magical treasure, rarely used by cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World.
The reason he was so intrigued, lay in its magic treasure rank not high, only lower grade, yet was placed among those ascendant grade magic items, right alongside the three flying swords.
