"Senior Brother, what about me?" Fu Qinglan proactively asked.

Zhan Bingtao’s stern expression softened slightly as he kindly replied, "Junior Sister, just follow me back to the Daoist Palace! You have already comprehended the True Intent of Law, and are a future God Transformation Seed. The Daoist Palace has a Fifth Order Spirit Vein that can effectively aid your cultivation, so how could you be delayed due to these trivial matters?"

Both Long Ting and Hui Yuanhong immediately cast envious and jealous glances.

The former was envious, the latter was jealous.

Fu Qinglan seemed oblivious to the attention, gently nodded her head.

Before leaving the site of the Burial God Valley, she instinctively glanced back at the scenery, and under the cloak of her sleeves, she was holding a broken array flag.

The array flag was damaged, yet the crafting technique was incredibly exquisite.

Especially some of the crafting methods on it, they gave her a familiar feeling.

Years ago in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, someone had used similar array flags to set up a formation to protect her.

"Was it you who came here?"

Fu Qinglan murmured to herself, with a hint of confused uncertainty in her eyes.

...

"Congratulations, master, for subduing a Fifth-tier Ghost God!"

Within the shuttle, Little White looked at Luo Chen with eyes full of admiration.

Yet Luo Chen shook his head, "This is just capturing, taming it will require much effort."

Little White was curious, "Master easily captured it, isn’t taming it an even simpler task?"

"Easily?"

Luo Chen’s lips curved slightly, but he didn’t clarify much.

To outsiders, it may seem like he captured the Kui Ox Ghost God effortlessly, but the tactics employed were not few.

Upon realizing the ghost god’s intention to break free, he began his schemes.

Each time he slew high-level ghost creatures containing traces of the Kui Ox’s divine soul, he secretly planted restrictions within.

This included the top-grade soul stones used for bait, which had his divine soul imprints as well.

After breaking the seal, he used Bai Meiling as a decoy on the surface, while secretly, Luo Chen condensed his primordial spirit above the Nine Heavens, expending massive qi power to push the Primordial Chaos Tripod to its limit.

Finally, he borrowed the Dust Fate Immortal Realm and his Red Eyes Golden Pupils to use Mirror Flower, Water Moon.

With the cooperation of those restrictions and divine soul imprints, the combined efforts thoroughly confused the newly unsealed Kui Ox’s mind.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod itself possesses miraculous effects in capturing the cultivator’s Golden Core and Nascent Soul.

With such concerted efforts, only then can success be achieved in one stroke!

Indeed, for all this painstaking effort, Luo Chen’s gains were immensely significant.

With a Fifth-tier Ghost God in hand, once refined into the Soul-Refining Flag, the Million Evil Soul Banner would be well-deserved.

Such a soul path treasure is enough to rival spiritual treasures as great weapons.

If utilized well, it can fully create immense trouble for Divine Transformation Great Powers.

Unaware of Luo Chen’s thoughts, Little White manoeuvred the Frost Eagle Shuttle with spirit stones, heading somewhat aimlessly.

"Master, where should we go now?"

Luo Chen glanced at the direction outside.

He had previously used the Fire Escape Technique, taking Bai Meiling far from the Tian Nan Continent, and the Frost Eagle Shuttle’s speed was extremely fast. Unwittingly, they had approached the former Zhongzhou heartland from south to north.

"Further ahead is... Heaven and Earth Peak."

Luo Chen pursed his lips, his eyes showing a trace of reminiscence.

"You’ve worked hard before, I’ll take over the shuttle from now on!"

Luo Chen took control of the shuttle, steering the flying boat towards the former Zhongzhou heartland.

He wasn’t particularly worried about encountering any incidents.

It is said that after the Star Gate was taken by the Qi Xia Emperor, and Heaven and Earth Peak was broken in two, the place has become impenetrable to living beings.

Even the only surviving ancestor of God Transformation from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect practices only at the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range on the East Yuan Continent.

His visit was merely a return to an old haunt, unlikely to stir trouble.

But three days later, the Frost Eagle Shuttle paused miles away from the wreckage of that shattered continent.

As far as the eye could see, there were no towering peaks connecting the heavens and the earth, only a seemingly flat mountainside and a broken celestial pillar.

The once-rushing Zhe River, no longer returning to the East Sea, was shrouded in countless desolate thick mists.

What truly halted Luo Chen, was those thick mists.

White as the clouds, like dreams and illusions.

This mist, Luo Chen was very familiar with.

It wasn’t the product of Heaven and Earth Peak, but clouds once within the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

"That was the Cave Heaven transformed from the death of the top-tier Great Desolate from the Mountain Sea Realm, who dared to open it?"

"Could it be the Liancheng Ancestor?"

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, ultimately choosing to leave quietly.

Now is not the time to confront that person.

And not long after he left, a figure emerged from the dense mist.

Donning a yellow-black cloak, a high crown atop his head, though his face was youthful, his demeanor exuded the assertive grandness of a superior.

"Using the Sect Secret Technique, we finally opened a gap in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven and sent the Lan Ke Chessboard inside. By relying on the different flow of time in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, we can accelerate the recovery of the Artifact Spirit."

"Next..."

The dignified young man raised his head and looked at the broken sky pillar.

"With the power of Earth Origin, repair Heaven and Earth Peak!"

...

"Master, you’re at Heaven and Earth Peak but don’t go inside. So where are we heading next?"

"Why do you keep asking that question?"

"Because Little White hasn’t traveled much. Unlike Master, who has toured the Five Continents and Four Seas, leaving footprints all over the world. Naturally, I need to ask Master about everything."

"Haha, then let’s go to an absolutely safe place!"

Little White was extremely curious, where is absolutely safe?

Luo Chen smiled without speaking.

The Frost Eagle Shuttle abruptly turned, heading west.

After a long time, the shuttle stopped above a sea region filled with reefs and murky waves.

If there were Daoist Sect Cultivators here, they would easily recognize this territory at a glance.

It was the Western Continent that split from Zhongzhou in the past!

However, as the Netherworld Sea swept through this place back then, there has been no vast land here, only patches of broken reefs and endless murky seawater.

The shuttle hovered for a moment and then disappeared, replaced by two silhouettes.

The two figures didn’t linger and directly rose into the sky, disappearing beyond the Nine Heavens.

Crossing ninety thousand miles of layered heavens, breaking the fierce Gang Wind!

All the way up, lifted by Qi Power, in just a few flickers, stars began to shimmer, emitting faint light, as if face to face.

Little White gazed at the dark, boundless cosmic void, feeling a sense of insignificance.

She instinctively tightened her grip on Luo Chen’s sleeve.

"Master, where is this?"

"Azure Darkness!"

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and the Primordial Chaos Tripod suddenly appeared in front.

As soon as the tripod appeared, a dull clashing sound came from inside, as if a trapped beast was angrily struggling to escape.

Luo Chen paid it little attention, merely opened his mouth and exhaled.

Whoosh!

A strand of golden flame flickered out, completely enveloping the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Instantly, a miserable sound echoed from within the tripod.

With Nirvana Sacred Fire, refining a Fifth-tier Ghost God, it matched perfectly.

"Little White, watch over the Primordial Chaos Tripod for me. Notify me if the fire weakens. Take these soul stones and refine them to enhance the Divine Soul Endowment."

Little White’s eyes brightened, and she quickly received the handful of crystal grains Luo Chen handed over.

Although not comparable to the previous top-grade soul stone, these small gravel-like soul stones are easier to refine and more suitable for her.

"Little White will definitely keep a good watch over the Primordial Chaos Tripod!"

Luo Chen smiled, then took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged.

Concentrating on the void for a while, he took out the Blood Sword Yuan Tu nurtured in the acupoint of his left arm.

This time, he seemed no longer hesitant, directly spitting a mouthful of fresh blood and smearing it on Yuan Tu Sword.

Immediately the sword chimed, as if in response!

"If you wish to become a Spiritual Treasure, then completely submit to me!"

Murmuring, Luo Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, transforming the Yuan Tu Sword from large to small, swallowing it directly into his mouth and into the Purple Mansion.

The Purple Mansion is the best place for cultivators to nurture Magical Treasure True Artifacts!

It is closest to the Nascent Soul, holding the purest Qi Power, continuously nurturing them.

In earlier years, Luo Chen worried the Yuan Tu Sword might harm his Nascent Soul, so he dared not nurture them directly, resorting to finding a resting place on his arm.

But this time, he no longer hesitated.

The sword entered the Purple Mansion, spawning an intense bloody aura.

Before the Sword Spirit could rampage, a Nascent Soul Small People boldly extended its hand and grasped it.

With the other hand, it summoned a strand of azure flame, enveloping the Yuan Tu Sword.

"Behave!"

The Nascent Soul Small People uttered true words, and the Yuan Tu Sword instantly quieted down.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel relieved. With his current strength, he can indeed suppress this sword.

This way, he’s free to continue refining Nine Heavens Qi.

"Still many strands remaining out of two hundred, enough to advance further in the Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture."

"But it’s still not enough!"

"This Azure Darkness is the inexhaustible treasure land of Nine Heavens Qi."
