Inside Longyuan Immortal City.
In a cave mansion dense with spirit qi, nearly forming clouds.
The unusually youthful and handso True Master Longyuan was kindly chatting with three respectful cultivators below.
"You co from Zhongzhou, which is under the control of our Tianyuan Daoist Sect, where everything is in perfect order. To break through realms, gain more cultivation resources, and reach higher places, you must compete with others, with those ancient clans whose legacies stretch back countless millennia."
"But the North Sea is different; here, you must compete not only with humans but also with demons!"
"Most high-order demon beasts are intelligent, with outstanding prowess and unfathomable tricks, not inferior to us humans, so we must not be complacent. The recent Seizing Sea Golden Toad was a small lesson; you must rember this in the future!"
A Nascent Soul True Master who is so amiable and tirelessly instructs Golden Core cultivators is indeed rare.
Chang Feng Zi and his companions felt grateful and also a bit apprehensive.
"Second Uncle’s teaching is correct; we were indeed careless before."
Guan Xiaoping, who was usually arrogant outside, beca ek at this mont.
"It was also my first ti seeing a true savage beast. The Seizing Sea Golden Toad was formidable, such a small creature could swallow the ocean, and the three of us together could hardly escape its suppression."
True Master Longyuan smiled, "It’s natural that you don’t understand savage beasts. Zhongzhou, where you grew up, was purged by the Dao Sect three thousand years ago. Not to ntion savage beasts, there aren’t even many wild demon beasts left."
Guan Xiaoping showed a curious expression, "True Master, why do I feel that savage beasts are even more formidable than demon beasts? Aren’t they the sa?"
True Master Longyuan’s expression turned serious as he revealed a secret.
"Initially, they were the sa, but their inherent choices led them down different paths."
"You’ve studied the textbooks of the Dao Sect, right?"
"As ntioned in them, our Human Clan waged wars for ten thousand years in this vast Mountain Sea Realm, claiming the land of the Five Continents, laying the foundation of our clan. That piece of history is known as the ancient Human and Demon War. From the signing of the Human-Demon ceasefire treaty, with all demons returning to the wild, more than three thousand years have passed. It can be said that from ancient tis to the present, our Human Clan has officially beco the favored child of Heaven and Earth, the rightful master of this realm."
"Before this, in ancient tis, the real masters of the Mountain Sea Realm were the savage beasts spread across mountains, rivers, deserts, and oceans. They were the true favored children of Heaven and Earth, the rightful masters of this realm!"
"The demon beasts you encounter today should actually be called demon cultivators. Like us, they follow the paths of Core Formation, Infant Consolidation, and Divine Transformation, having forsaken their original path of cultivation."
"Today’s savage beasts either belong to the lingering ancients or those following the old ways. Their progress may be slow, but within the sa realm, they are naturally stronger than the oddities of demon cultivators."
Reflecting on the mories of their textbooks, Guan Xiaoping and the others listened with confusion.
Despite the unclear nuances, Guan Xiaoping still didn’t quite understand.
True Master Longyuan wouldn’t explain further as they would naturally understand after so contemplation.
Instead, he shifted the topic to humans.
"Though demon cultivators and savage beasts are fearso, what the North Sea needs to watch out for most now is humans. The fall of the Yuan Mo Sect has left the order intact, making the inherently wild North Sea cultivators even more reckless, leaning towards demonic cultivations. The formidable ones among them may lack finesse, but their battle experiences are no less than the prodigies of our Dao Sect."
"Just like the Demon King Qingyang, he saved you out of consideration for . But if it were soone else with ill intentions, you’d be lucky not to be hard further, let alone saved."
"Think about it, if soone with his thods had launched a sneak attack while you were trapped by the Seizing Sea Golden Toad, could you have survived even with the life-saving ans given by your elders?"
Chang Feng Zi and his companions’ faces turned awkward.
Especially since one of their life-saving thods had already been expended against Jiao Emperor Liu Jun.
Seeing their reflective looks, True Master Longyuan smiled.
"So, beware of underestimating the strong of the North Sea, whether demon or human."
Chang Feng Zi bowed deeply, "Thank you for the guidance, Second Uncle!"
The other two also bowed in thanks.
After standing up straight, Wu Tao eagerly asked, "True Master, are we really not going to Oblivion Sea?"
"Oblivion Sea?"
True Master Longyuan’s lips curled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, his ears twitched slightly.
Bang!
It seed as though there was thunderous collision outside.
He frowned. How could there be a thunderstorm out of the blue on such a clear day?
Despite extending his vast divine consciousness past Longyuan Immortal City and towards the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, he detected no abnormalities.
Was it a misperception?
Shaking his head, True Master Longyuan withdrew his thoughts.
"Abandon any ideas about the Land of Fallen Demons."
Wu Tao was a bit reluctant, yet he knew his realm was insufficient, his prowess inadequate, and these fantasies should not occupy him.
However, Chang Feng Zi was rather puzzled, "Second Uncle, skilled as you are, why not explore Oblivion Sea? I heard there are countless treasures within, wouldn’t it be a waste for others?"
"I won’t go because it’s beneath !" True Master Longyuan said slowly, "As for who would gain? Ha! As long as Oblivion Sea remains, no one truly profits. Our sect will eventually send the most suitable person in."
The most suitable person?
The three exchanged confused glances, not knowing who he referred to.
...
Within the Eight Hundred Li Penghu.
Han Zhan was hovering in the air, having left the island.
He transmitted his divine consciousness into the ears of two demons.
"Tian Xuan, head to Lotus Picking Island and restrain Zhang Family cultivators from leaving."
"Black King, patrol outside Peng Island, guard for your master."
After issuing the orders, Han Zhan’s gaze was fixed on Peng Island, at the grand hall veiled by the vast influx of spirit qi.
His line of sight occasionally ascended towards the sky blocked by arrays.
Ti passed bit by bit.
Even though clouds gathered overhead, there was no flicker of silver, and those clouds were gradually changing colors—red, orange, yellow, green...
Han Zhan wore a contemplative expression.
"Is this what they call Heaven’s favored child?"
"To not experience Thunder Tribulation upon ascension to Fourth Order, but instead undergo a spirit qi inundation, seemingly with auspicious clouds in celebration."
"Never did I expect pure Body Refinent would reach such heights, Luo Chen..."
While whispering in his heart, Han Zhan’s eyes grew increasingly bright, as if genuinely happy for him.
Within the spacious Star Dou Palace.
Luo Chen was clad in mysterious armor, with a great cauldron suspended above his head, thoroughly on guard.
However, the anticipated disaster didn’t occur; what appeared was an unexpected spirit qi inundation!
Within the hall, bright pearls glead, and the array flags fluttered.
Wave upon wave of imnse Heaven and Earth Qi continuously poured into the hall.
Amassing all the spirit qi of the Eight Hundred Li Penghu, it temporarily transford Star Dou Palace into an environnt comparable to a Fourth Order Spirit Land.
Under the lavish spirit qi baptism, Luo Chen’s body uncontrollably absorbed the incoming spirit qi with fervor.
These are unrefined Spirit Qi.
Luo Chen dared not absorb it into the Sea of Qi, using the Golden Core to devour it.
But clearly, the target of this Spirit Qi was not the Sea of Qi, but purely the physical body.
Countless Spirit Qi drilled into Luo Chen’s muscles, bones, ridians, even rging with his blood.
Vaguely, a word surfaced in Luo Chen’s mind.
"Marrow Cleansing and ridian Washing!"
However, unlike during Foundation Establishnt, when cultivators use Spirit Qi refined by themselves to perform the Classic of Changes Marrow-Washing, this ti the heavens assisted, cleaning his marrow and washing his ridians.
Eventually, Luo Chen almost couldn’t withstand the imnse influx of Spirit Qi into his body.
He let out a low roar.
His body began to automatically expand larger.
Ten feet, twenty feet... until ninety feet!
The massive body sat within Star Dou Palace, making the spacious hall seem cramped.
The larger the body beca, the more Spirit Qi it could withstand.
And Luo Chen gradually found a sense of control over his body.
Following the operational route of "The Flow of All Things," he attempted to control the Heaven and Earth Qi, actively refining his physical body.
Not only that, his previous Fire Peng form was gradually undergoing transformation.
Eventually, it vaguely took on a more human appearance.
If Wang Yuan were here, he would definitely feel extrely familiar; this was clearly the path of Giant Spirit Transformation he had taken.
This was a realization Luo Chen had while studying body technique kill moves; the Sky Roc True Body was too straightforward and didn’t suit those skills.
Hence, he subtly adjusted his transford physique, gradually aligning with human form.
It sowhat verified what Wang Yuan said back then, that Class Demon Changes didn’t suit the Human Clan.
During this process, Luo Chen gradually noticed that every part of his body seed to have a strange power spreading.
That power wasn’t Qi Power or demonic power.
It was sowhat like the Pill Vigor Wang Yuan refined after comprehending Qi-Blood changes, yet wasn’t as pure, appearing sowhat mixed. Despite the mixture, it seed thicker and more easily controlled.
The specific description seed like it ford from the fusion of blood and marrow with external Spirit Qi.
This power perated his entire body, present everywhere, reaching every place.
It even ford a blood-red mbrane on his exterior.
Approximately a stick of incense later.
Luo Chen grunted, fully gaining control over his body.
Simultaneously, he noticed the feeling of fullness in his body.
"Achieved perfection, have I?"
Luo Chen mumbled as he slowly shrank his body size, the blood-red mbrane rged into the flesh.
The surrounding Spirit Qi also gradually faded away, returning to the Eight Hundred Li Penghu.
When everything ceased.
Luo Chen sat cross-legged in the hall, feeling refreshed.
Suddenly.
He uncovered the Xuan Chen Armor, clasped his right hand as a blade, and fiercely struck his left wrist.
Such self-harming actions would surely astonish others.
Luo Chen, however, maintained a steadfast deanor, as if trying to test sothing.
After slashing down with the knife-hand, without applying any protection, his left wrist willingly broke off.
Luo Chen grunted, firmly staring at the bowl-sized break at the wrist.
There, the blood was crystal clear, bones like jade, and muscular tendons thick.
After staring for a while, Luo Chen willed the strange power to converge at his left wrist.
A tingling, excruciating feeling arose spontaneously.
Under his gaze, flesh buds blossod on the left wrist, beginning to regenerate along the original form.
Luo Chen suddenly widened his eyes!
"Blood and Flesh Rebirth!"
Having verified his guess, Luo Chen controlled the energy to retreat, then retrieved the floating left hand, aligning it with the wrist.
Newly generated flesh couldn’t match the rigorously tempered body.
Without using any healing technique, after a layer of blood-red mbrane swept over, the left hand healed seamlessly, not leaving a trace of scar.
Luo Chen swallowed thickly.
"Reattachnt of severed limb!"
Witnessing these two scenes in succession, Luo Chen fell into silence.
Clearly, his body had fundantally changed.
It was as if the essence of life had transford at its source.
That power, distinct from demonic power, Qi Power, even Qi and Gang Qi was seldom, yet had an extraordinary and wonderful effect.
At this mont, rather than saying he was human, he was like an Archaic Beast with a humanoid form!
Fourth-order Wild Beast!
The power mastered — let’s call it "Origin Force" for now!
This power granted Luo Chen absolute control over his physical body, even if it couldn’t achieve the rumored level of blood rebirth, it was enough for reattachnt of severed limbs and blood and flesh rebirth as long as the main body remained intact.
Furthermore, he felt even the parts severed and separated could move freely.
Under such circumstances, if soone wanted to kill him, they would need to sever limbs, behead, and utterly destroy the body’s main trunk.
Luo Chen didn’t know if other Archaic Beasts were like this, but he definitely was.
Additionally, unlike ordinary Archaic Beasts, he practiced the Path of Qi Refinent.
Even if the body was destroyed, as long as the Golden Core persisted, the Divine Soul still had a temporary harbor.
Understanding all this, Luo Chen raised his right hand, slowly clenched his fist.
A powerful feeling erged spontaneously.
As if with this hand alone, he could shatter mountains, break through peaks, contend against the mighty waves.
"Power!"
