If there were any side effects, how would Shenyuan dare to use it against enemies over the years?
Imdiately, he realized the two anomalies in his natal magic item.
One was the grey light from the Land of Fallen Demons, which he hadn’t figured out even now, only knowing that after its integration, his success rate in refining magical treasures and pills was trendously high, even aiding in refining the power of thunder.
If it was brought by the grey light, that’s also possible.
The other was the Fifth-tier Divine Gu — Tribulation Gu — extracted from his son Luo Lingxi’s body!
Thinking of the latter, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart.
The hidden dangers of the Tribulation Gu are far greater than what people imagine.
Even Sealing Immortal Valley couldn’t suppress it, only locking itself inside Sealing Immortal Valley.
Even so, that Sealing Immortal Valley experienced constant disasters, making it difficult to find peace.
"Could it be that after my natal magic item absorbed the Tribulation Gu, it gained a disaster-attracting effect?"
"This is not a good thing; if during battle, I summon the Primordial Chaos Tripod and instead attract a Heavenly Tribulation strike, it would endanger myself."
As his expression kept changing, Luo Chen began making a series of gestures with uncertainty.
He cast out prohibitions onto the Primordial Chaos Tripod, sealing it temporarily.
This was the best solution he could think of at the mont.
Sealing the natal magic item to prevent any unexpected issues during normal cultivation or sudden battles.
Fortunately, what Luo Chen currently lacked the least were various weapons.
Perhaps in terms of comprehensiveness, those treasures couldn’t match the Primordial Chaos Tripod, but in terms of single power, they were not much different.
Especially the Yuan Tu Sword, a killing true device that was already infinitely close to a spiritual treasure; when unsheathed, it would inevitably draw blood, surpassing the Primordial Chaos Tripod in killing power.
"However, I must also consider that my reputation might spread to the Southern Wilderness. If my usual thods are seen through, it would be disadvantageous for to travel in the Southern Wilderness."
As he pondered, several treasures appeared in Luo Chen’s hand.
There was a golden, dazzling fine needle, five jet-black cones, a continuously rotating sword pill, and a large greyish-white stone stick.
Especially the latter, bearing a noticeable sword mark, precisely carved out by the Yuan Tu Sword in the past.
Luo Chen thought for a mont and swallowed the sword pill into the Purple Mansion.
The Great Five Elents Sword Array was excellent, but it was clearly an immortal clan technique, not quite fitting his current "Physical Cultivator" identity setting.
Moreover, during the battle at Lingtian Pass, he had frequently used the immature Great Five Elents Sword Array, and so people knew of this technique.
So, only the remaining three items were left.
The Soul Weaving Needle and Five Elents Suppressing Law Cones were crafted by the Great Demon Emperor Hundred Legs; one could attack the Divine Soul, the other could seal Qi Power.
The stone stick, nad Heavenly Stick, ca from the Great Demon Emperor Huang Man. It wasn’t processed but relied on its special material to beco a powerful weapon comparable to a true device.
"Using these three as my main attack thods, combined with the Xuan Chen Armor, Nine Luminous Jade Belt, Ping Mountain Crown, two Life-taking Golden Feathers, and Cloud Stepping Shoes, it should be enough."
Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen acted repeatedly.
The golden needle was hidden under the tongue.
The black cones were tucked between his waistband.
And the large stone stick continuously shrank in his hands until Luo Chen, as if inspired by a whim, humorously stuffed it into his ear.
Patted his ear, Luo Chen grinned widely.
"All set!"
Only then did he confidently and boldly leave the briefly inhabited cave mansion.
If others knew Luo Chen had prepared eight true devices to venture into the Southern Wilderness, they would be astonished.
With such a lavish arsenal, where in the world could he not go?
He was indeed too cautious!
...
"What is this?"
The sudden inquiry almost caused Cheng Bai to twitch, nearly crushing the illusory insect.
Looking back, it was the senior from earlier.
He took a deep breath and respectfully handed the small insect over.
"This is a Faceless Gu larva, fond of parasitizing in crawling demon beasts; once mature, it will devour the demon beast’s blood essence."
Luo Chen frowned and took the larva, examining it closely; it resembled an earthworm.
"What are its uses?"
Cheng Bai was sowhat surprised, did this senior not know about Gu insects?
The Faceless Gu’s fa was known to everyone in the Southern Wilderness!
Luo Chen seemingly caught a hint of surprise in the other’s eyes, replied calmly: "The path I tread differs from that of ordinary Gu cultivators, being one of a Physical Cultivator, and I’ve spent years in the wilderness, thus lacking knowledge about such little creatures."
Ah, I see.
Cheng Bai nodded and couldn’t help but say: "These are not little creatures! Once mature and refined by a cultivator, one can transform into faceless form with unmatched agility."
"The Supre Wind Escape Technique of the Feng Family is exquisitely intricate, hard for an ordinary person to even brush the hem of its clothes; the Cave Lord of our family is greatly troubled by this. Finally found a way with the Flash Thunder Technique, but it lingers at the beginner stage due to the lack of a Faceless Gu."
"The Faceless Gu you hold, although still a larva, may mature early if catalyzed by a secret technique, assisting our family’s Cave Lord in mastering the true technique."
Luo Chen was surprised internally, using Gu insects to aid in magical cultivation?
He knew the Southern Wilderness had such cultivation habits.
Utilizing various Gu insects for cultivation assistance, from the Qi Refinent initiation to the Foundation Establishnt and Core Formation stages, the shadow of Gu insects lood over Southern Border practitioners.
But he didn’t expect they could also aid in magical cultivation.
Unintentionally, he recalled his brief encounter with Tianshan True Master.
The opponent used swordsmanship then, now it seed, possibly utilizing Gu insects in the execution.
Sword Gu?
And with this movent Gu insect?
Is there a suitable Gu insect for aiding body refinent?
Thinking this far, Luo Chen’s heart began pounding vigorously.
His body refinent stage, after reaching Mid-Fourth Order, progressed extrely slowly.
His self-created "The Flow of All Things" had minimal effect.
Later, he relied on the batch of thousand-year-old Five Temple Immortal Brew brought by the Black King, which allowed his body refinent progress to gradually increase from internal organs, barely reaching [Primordial Fourth Order 61/100] by now.
asured by Immortal Dao Realm, it’s roughly around the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul.
At first glance comparable to his current Qi refinent realm, but one must know his body refinent progress had once far surpassed the Qi refinent. When achieving Fourth Order, he was only at the Middle Stage Golden Core.
After many years, he was caught up.
This shows how slow the progress was.
Moreover, the thousand-year-old Five Temple Immortal Brew stock is limited; drinking one cask and having one less over the years, only five casks remain now.
Luo Chen was reluctant to continue drinking, saving it for ergencies.
If in the Southern Wilderness, he could find a doctrine to make his body refinent progress soar once more, this trip would not be in vain regardless of finding the Demon Heart Gu Emperor.
Of course, Luo Chen suppressed this impulse, refraining from further probing Cheng Bai.
A senior expert carries the deanor and poise of one.
Old monsters seldom seen in the world shouldn’t act like clueless newcors.
Especially as he now positioned his identity entirely different from the forr Alchemy Sect Luo Chen.
Under Cheng Bai’s expectant gaze, Luo Chen flicked the Faceless Gu larva back.
Then!
Turned around!
Pressed into the void!
Boom!
In Cheng Bai’s widened eyes, the previously revered unnad barren mountain, worshipped by countless demon beasts, was pulverized into dust by a mighty force.
Dust rose from the earth, the void exploded with shock waves.
A surging qi wave roared forth.
Luo Chen brushed his hand and spoke calmly: "Let’s go!"
Cheng Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, swept by a gale, and ascended into the clouds with Luo Chen.
Without any flying magical treasure, nor discernible great power, they swiftly flew through the sky.
He pointed a direction, and Luo Chen advanced speedily.
After a long silence, Cheng Bai finally asked cautiously with imnse respect: "Junior dares to ask, how to address the senior?"
Amidst the howling wind, Luo Chen’s voice like steel reached his ear.
"This seat is Qi Tian, and there’s a dao title — Ba Xiu — given by enemies before their deaths for my dominant ways."
Ba Xiu Qi Tian!
Cheng Bai etched this arrogant and heaven-comparing na deeply into his heart.
