Chapter 2096: Chapter 769: Array Book, Sword Scripture, and the Return to the Eastern Wasteland
On Heaven and Earth Peak, there are existences capable of threatening it!
Therefore, the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit requested Luo Chen to suppress it until they leave Heaven and Earth Peak.
"Although I can’t use you for battle now, using you for cultivation is not a problem."
Luo Chen smiled faintly, directing a massive amount of restless Qi Power towards the small green tree nearby.
The Fire Spirit seemed to notice, its branches and leaves spreading as it absorbed stream after stream of Qi Power.
As it breathed in and out, it emitted wisps of even purer Qi Power that Luo Chen’s Nascent Soul absorbed.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen was overjoyed.
The Fifth Order Prosperity and Decline True Fire, how its combat power fares, has yet to be tested.
But in terms of aiding his cultivation, it already provides immense assistance.
Through the Fire Tree’s absorption and inhalation, the Qi Power becomes even purer, and the Fire Spirit does not erase Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Imprint from those Qi Powers.
In addition, Luo Chen can even feel that if he absorbs Spirit Qi from the Outer World, the Fire Tree can help purify and refine it.
These features were not available before.
Even when Luo Chen occasionally used Prosperity and Decline True Fire to refine Qi Power and Magic Items in the past, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention great losses. How could it be like now, where he doesn’t have to worry about it— the Fire Spirit completes the step for him, and the Fire Spirit controls its own power, without consuming Luo Chen’s Qi Power.
In this way, Luo Chen can save a lot of time.
And he won’t waste this time.
The "Stone Chamber Immortal Mechanism" and "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture" sent by Fu Chaosheng have become his research target.
...
While Luo Chen was refining Qi Power and practicing Array and Path of Sword, the competition in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven was still ongoing.
Due to the previous actions of Elder Qideng and Fu Chaosheng, neither the cultivators from Heaven and Earth Peak nor the major clans sought out Luo Chen.
Everyone knew the Tianji Pill was gone.
Luo Chen was now thoroughly bound to the Fu Family.
But that doesn’t mean no one sought out Luo Chen.
For instance, a month later, Luo Chen received a special guest: the Tianshan True Master who had once fought him.
The other had safeguarded Yu Xu for decades in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven but ultimately failed.
The fault wasn’t with the Protector from Tianshan; rather, Yu Xu lacked the opportunity, her Illusionary Chess filled with Black Chess, forced her to retreat.
Later, Luo Chen took time to ask Fu Chaosheng, who said Yu Xu might have been too eager for success, absorbing too much Mirage Dragon Qi while drawing in the Spirit Mechanism from the Illusion Core, thus preventing her from staying until the time was up, forcing her to leave Cave Heaven.
In any case, Tianshan True Master neither failed nor succeeded, ending his journey as a Protector.
After leaving, he visited Luo Chen.
The two harbored no intense enmity, and since they would both be cultivating on Heaven and Earth Peak, maintaining a good relationship was sensible.
This meeting lasted half a day.
Luo Chen learned a lot about the South Border from the other, and he shared some of his North Sea experiences.
And that concluded their meeting.
Yu Xu’s elimination marked the beginning of the competition’s end.
Soon after, Lin Bufan also triggered Illusionary Chess and returned to the Mountain Sea Realm.
Much to the Lin Family Patriarch’s disappointment, he didn’t comprehend the Power of Laws.
This was unrelated to talent or others.
While using the Illusion Core for cultivation, the leakage of Spirit Mechanism attracted Illusion Beasts’ attack, and without Lin Jingfang’s protection, he was forced to activate Illusionary Chess and leave Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven to survive.
After Lin Bufan, it was Gu Daosu’s turn.
Unexpectedly to everyone, Gu Daosu succeeded despite lacking protection!
Fu Chaosheng explained to Luo Chen that Gu Daosu had a Lan Ke Black and White Chess given by Chess Saint Ke Lianshan, coupled with being close to success, allowing him to comprehend the Origin Power after his second Sudden Enlightenment.
Now, only two True Disciples remained in Cave Heaven.
And time was running out—just a month left.
Within Cave Heaven, less than ten years were left.
Would Shi Ju and Ancient Plains succeed?
Luo Chen no longer concerned himself with the outcome; he sought out Elder Qideng.
Upon revealing his intentions, Elder Qideng was somewhat surprised.
"The North Sea conflict will begin once the competition ends, and you plan to go to Eastern Wasteland now?"
