Suddenly, Chen Yuan abruptly opened his eyes and looked towards his right front.
In a flowing white robe, Lu Chengfeng, exuding an immortal aura, slowly appeared. Following behind him was Moluo. Both looked at Chen Yuan, sensing his current imposing aura, and they both smiled.
Strong!
Very strong!
At this mont, just by sitting there, Chen Yuan seed to form a world of his own, endlessly thriving. His aura was restrained, yet like a volcano, containing imnse power.
Unlike the sanctification of the physical body in Refining Void and Entering Dao, it's indeed extraordinary.
"Did sothing unexpected happen?"
Earlier, during the breakthrough, Chen Yuan's spirit was fully imrsed in his inner world, oblivious to anything outside, nor did he have ti to think about it.
But when his consciousness returned, and he realized Moluo was no longer nearby, he knew sothing was amiss. Even Lu Chengfeng, who rarely showed himself, had revealed his true form, indicating sothing significant had happened.
"The Demon Emperor Mo Ying must have sensed the commotion here and ca to try to stop your breakthrough but was stopped by Benefactor Lu." Moluo quickly inford Chen Yuan concisely.
Chen Yuan's gaze turned cold. He was obviously aware of Mo Ying's strength, and now, having ascended to the position of the Demon Emperor even faster than him, Mo Ying was indeed a formidable foe.
"What happened to Mo Ying?"
"After your breakthrough, he has already left."
"It's a pity we couldn't keep him."
"Even if we kept him, we couldn't kill him for now. To avoid exposure, I took the liberty of letting him leave, we'll deal with it in the future," Lu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
"No matter, we will talk about the demon tribe affairs later."
Seeing this, Chen Yuan could only nod.
He couldn't bla Lu Chengfeng for not doing enough. After all, he was here to help, and he didn't have a point. There was no need to expose themselves to the world for the sake of a battle.
However, the Qi fortune on him... To be honest, Chen Yuan was very tempted to seize it.
Because now that his physical body had sanctified, he just needed his primordial spirit breakthrough to step into the Martial God Realm. But the further he cultivated, the harder it beca. At his current rate of perception, it would take at least decades to cross that threshold.
By then, the world of his physical body would have already beco one.
So, it was necessary... to break through his primordial spirit in a short ti.
What he could rely on was the next opportunity guided by the Qi Fortune Altar. But those blessed with Qi fortune have beco increasingly rare to this day.
Xiang Qianqiu, Manjusri, they have all fallen at his hands.
Currently, the only ones he could discern that possessed the Qi fortune he needed were Mo Ying and the Buddha of Spirit Mountain, besides them, no one else. So unless sothing unexpected happens, his next move would be targeting these two.
"How do you feel now?"
Lu Chengfeng asked with a smile.
"Feeling quite good."
Chen Yuan chuckled. If he were to face Xiang Qianqiu again, he wouldn't be forced into a tough fight, relying on the adversary's mistakes to defeat him.
His strength had increased severalfold.
Moreover, the most important thing was, although his primordial spirit hadn't stepped into the Six Realms, he had already understood so rules that coincided with the physical body rules.
Calling him a Martial God might be an overstatent, but calling him a half-step Martial Divine is not a problem.
This is why he has the confidence to contend with top-tier Human Immortals who have gathered the Three Flowers.
Everything stems from strength!
"That's good, just a pity that I won't be able to guide you further," Moluo clasped his hands together, a faint, aningful smile on his face.
In his perception, he could sense a trace of danger from Chen Yuan, which also proved that at this mont, Chen Yuan might have the strength to battle him.
Sanctifying the physical body is indeed terrifying.
Bear in mind, he had been cultivating painstakingly for two hundred years, and only by his extraordinary talent was he able to elevate his cultivation to the pinnacle of a Human Immortal within such a short ti.
And Chen Yuan?
Stepping into the Six Realms, he was already formidable enough to challenge him. Not to ntion if he could surpass him, rely this strength was astonishing.
Yet, he also felt a faint sense of loss.
Chen Yuan was soone he watched grow to where he is now, often guided in terms of cultivation realm. He could even be considered Chen Yuan's teacher.
Now that the student could rival the teacher, it brought both pride and a bit of lancholy.
"The accomplished beco the teacher, no matter when you can always guide your junior,"
Chen Yuan held great respect for Moluo.
"Did Daoist Moluo just ntion that Sima Yuande had already sought you out?"
Lu Chengfeng shifted the topic, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.
On the way here, Moluo had inford Lu Chengfeng of the matter, hence the question.
"Indeed, he..."
Chen Yuan nodded, briefly recounting what he and Sima Yuande had discussed in Shuzhou City to Lu Chengfeng.
"Sima Yuande..."
Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly.
As a thousand-year-old monster, he naturally had seen Sima Yuande, knowing that he was indeed a genius of extraordinary talent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to establish a dynasty.
"He probably wants to stabilize you temporarily, which is why he's offering you the chance to ascend to the Immortal Domain later, but he is not to be trusted...."
"Don't worry, Senior, I'm fully aware of that."
"I don't know much about the Immortal Domain," said Lu Chengfeng, "but one thing is certain, resources are limited. Even in any territory, people will be stratified into different levels.
Even if there is hope of ascending to the Immortal Domain, it's not necessarily a good thing for you. Perhaps... they will demand you to forsake your physical body and ascend only with your primordial spirit.
Or they might view you as nothing more than a pawn to disrupt the Human World."
Whenever the Immortal Domain was ntioned, Lu Chengfeng's expression would beco extrely grave.
"Actually, I've been pondering a matter lately."
"What is it?"
Raising his head, Chen Yuan looked into the void and said:
"Does the Immortal Domain truly have complete knowledge of the Human World? If everything is indeed clear to them, then... was my initiation of the chaotic era back then also within certain individuals' expectations in the Immortal Domain?"
"That's not entirely impossible. It's never harmful to estimate the enemy at their greatest potential."
"No matter what, the event of the Immortal Domain descending upon the secular world is likely inevitable. We must consider how to respond when the immortals arrive in the lower realm."
Moluo interjected.
Speaking of this, both Chen Yuan and Lu Chengfeng fell silent, as if shrouded by a layer of gloom.
Chen Yuan: "Moluo Senior, Lu Senior, the Old Heavenly Master, the founding master of the Heavenly Demon Hall, and myself, at most add up to the strength of five Immortals, hoping to resist the Immortal Domain is slim.
Besides, the celestial person of the Heavenly Demon Hall may not even be willing to join us in resisting the Immortal Domain."
"rely relying on Human Immortals is not enough. The Immortal Domain absolutely has Heavenly Immortal-level Immortal Venerables overseeing it. Our current course of action is to enhance our strength in a short ti."
Lu Chengfeng said solemnly.
"Please go on, Senior."
"I have reached the limit in my cultivation, but Moluo Daoist is different. If he can break through to an Earth Immortal in a short ti, there is hope."
"This matter... is difficult indeed."
Moluo shook his head.
Not that he was unwilling to break through, but it was exceedingly difficult. Having been at the pinnacle of a Human Immortal for a long ti, he had no clue on breaking through to an Earth Immortal.
"The second is to have King Yan step into the Martial God Realm."
Lu Chengfeng looked at Chen Yuan gravely.
"This matter... has so hope."
Chen Yuan didn't say it definitively; he believed that just one more opportunity would allow him to step into the Martial God Realm.
"If King Yan enters the Martial God Realm, he would be able to rival an Earth Immortal's power and potentially unify the Central Plains Thirteen States and gather the fortune of a Human Emperor. By then... his power might not be inferior to mine."
This was the most hopeful option for advancing cultivation currently.
The presence of two Earth Immortal-level beings might indeed contend sowhat with the Immortal Domain. Lu Chengfeng didn't believe that the Immortal Domain was overflowing with Human Immortals, and Earth Immortals were everywhere!
"Human Emperor... Qi Fortune..."
Chen Yuan's brows furrowed tightly.
To beco a Human Emperor, at the very least, the Central Plains Thirteen States must be fully brought into an empire's domain, otherwise, it could only be titled a dynasty like Great Jin.
But this is not simple.
Break through Central State, and the Immortal Domain descends.
If Central State is not broken, it's difficult to beco a Human Emperor.
This is a knot hard to unravel!
