Chapter 516: The Three Great Yuan Hou, Descending Upon Cangwu

Day Void Hall.

A tall figure stood there, looking helplessly at the newcomer.

"Why have you been disturbing me so frequently lately?"

You Quan seemed unaware, as if she couldn't see Qing Shuang's helplessness.

She said seriously, "It's time for you to lend a helping hand."

Qing Shuang was taken aback and instinctively looked in one direction.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the thick walls and the vast distance, landing on the third-stage supreme cave mansion.

"Has he started?"

"Yes, Luo Chen has good comprehension, and he has already comprehended the key to the first Nirvana realm on his own. However, in the cultivation technique left by the Phoenix Empyrean, only the three Nirvanas are mentioned, without the corresponding Nine Tribulations. I'm afraid he won't make it through, so later you'll need to help him out."

Qing Shuang suddenly understood.

She nodded lightly.

"Rest assured, if anything goes wrong, I'll step in immediately."

As she spoke, a powerful divine sense had already landed on Luo Chen without him noticing.

At that moment, Qing Shuang's eyebrows furrowed.

"The Qi Sea Tribulation has begun."

Almost as soon as she spoke.

In the cave mansion, Luo Chen's body trembled.

His Qi Sea, vast like an ocean, suddenly ignited with raging flames.

It was as if he was transforming the Qi Sea environment into an endless fire domain.

At the same time, Qing Shuang's face paled slightly.

"Something's wrong. This person's foundation is exceptionally solid, and his Qi Sea has been expanded according to the most standard Five Elemental Spiritual Root qualifications. The Qi Sea Tribulation is accompanied by the Spiritual Root Tribulation!"

Before she could finish speaking.

Luo Chen, who was not in front of them, let out a muffled hum.

The Golden Core rotated with immense power, dispelling the Ku Rong True Fire that had enveloped it.

In the cave mansion filled with rich spiritual energy, as the Golden Core rotated, the Five Elemental energies surged towards him.

Regardless of their differences, the Five Elements were in perfect balance!

With the support of these five streams of spiritual energy, the initially perfect process of Wood transforming into Fire revealed a flaw.

Although Fire attribute power still dominated.

But under the influence of the Five Elemental energies, the other four types of power struggled to keep up with the Fire attribute.

You Quan had a look that suggested she had expected this.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture has a hidden Spiritual Root, creating the illusion of cultivating with a fake Heavenly Spiritual Root, which naturally leads to the Spiritual Root Tribulation."

"And the Five Elemental Root itself is no weaker than the Heavenly Spiritual Root, so the backlash is even more terrifying."

"That's why I asked you to keep an eye on him to prevent any mishaps."

Qing Shuang caught the implication in her words and glanced at him.

"Do I need to isolate him from the outside world's spiritual energy now?"

You Quan waved her wings, "No need, the more intense the external spiritual energy, the better. As long as he overcomes this tribulation, the transformed Fire attribute power will not only be pure but also abundant, making his power no less formidable than his previous Five Elemental state."

This was asking for everything!

Qing Shuang shook her head, "Isn't that too greedy?"

"Greedy? No, Qing, you underestimate Luo Chen." You Quan cackled, "Pay attention to his physique."

Qing Shuang instinctively released her divine sense, penetrating every inch of Luo Chen's body with a subtle and all-encompassing technique.

Gradually.

The more she observed, the more amazed she became.

"Strange, why is his physique so similar to that of my Demon Race?"

This time, You Quan didn't offer any explanation.

Under their watchful eyes, Luo Chen's body was undergoing slow changes.

Time passed, and the Qi Sea gradually transformed into a sea of fire, becoming even more suitable for storing and tempering power.

The influx of Five Elemental energies from the outside world not only failed to overwhelm the Fire attribute power but was also refined into surging streams of power under the operation of the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, flowing within the boundless fire domain.

It seemed that the Qi Sea Tribulation and Spiritual Root Tribulation were about to be overcome.

"The last one should be the Golden Core Tribulation," Qing Shuang murmured, but she shook her head unconsciously, "However, this will be the easiest tribulation to overcome."

When cultivators advance from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, they don't face external tribulations, but they do experience internal trials.

Therefore, the transformation of the Golden Core was a familiar process for Luo Chen.

As the last trace of Wood attribute power was completely transformed.

When he activated the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture again, his body no longer contained any impurities, leaving only the purest Fire attribute power.

Moreover.

Even the originally colorful Five-Colored Golden Core, under constant rotation, gradually faded into a single red pill, leaving only a crimson pill.

Within the boundless sea of fire, it was like a newly risen sun.

Brilliant and powerful!

"After overcoming the three tribulations, it's time for Nirvana. From now on, Luo Chen's essence will still be a Five Elemental Golden Core, but his cultivation speed will be no weaker than that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator." You Quan was inexplicably excited as she chirped.

Qing Shuang, on the other hand, showed a hint of regret.

"A physique comparable to ancient Demon Beasts, and a perfectly balanced Five Elemental Spiritual Root qualification. Even without cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, his future achievements would be limitless. Now, his path has narrowed!"

You Quan scoffed, "Qing, you're thinking too much. Aside from the fact that cultivating all Five Elements brings us no benefit, even the thin spiritual energy in the Mountain and Sea Realm is insufficient for him to cultivate all Five Elements to the Divine Transformation Stage."

Qing Shuang was puzzled.

"Is the spiritual energy in the Mountain and Sea Realm not abundant enough?"

You Quan shrugged.

"For people with ordinary qualifications, it's indeed very dense, and it's considered top-notch in some small worlds. But for someone with Five Elemental qualifications, I've soul-searched and found that in the Eastern Wasteland, there's a cultivator with Five Elemental Roots who stopped at the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul Stage and hasn't broken through yet."

Qing Shuang's mouth opened slightly, and she finally nodded in acknowledgment of You Quan's explanation.

From this perspective.

Luo Chen's shift to cultivating the Fire attribute was a good thing for him in the long run.

...

Luo Chen couldn't see that far into the future yet.

But for the present, it was undoubtedly a great blessing!

In the cave mansion.

Luo Chen closed his eyes, having already stopped cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture.

However, spiritual energy from all directions continued to gather towards him, passively entering his body.

The reason for this was the crimson Golden Core in his Qi Sea!

Without actively driving it, his Golden Core was also operating on its own!

With the Golden Core as the center, spiritual energy from all directions gathered, and under the refinement of the Ku Rong True Fire in the Qi Sea, it was continuously purified, eventually transforming into strands of pure power that merged into the Golden Core.

"As expected of the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture,' the fire cultivation technique that Yu Quan claimed to be the origin of fire!"

"After cultivating, even without actively circulating it, as long as there's a suitable spirit ground, my cultivation will progress passively. This speed is almost comparable to my previous full-power cultivation efficiency in a third-grade inferior cave mansion."

"What if I actively circulate it?"

Luo Chen's thoughts stirred.

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged towards him like a mighty river flowing in reverse!

This feeling was incredibly captivating!

If the entire world were an ocean, then spiritual energy would be the water within.

The spiritual veins of various grades and qualities could be likened to rivers, lakes, streams, and tributaries carrying spiritual energy.

In the past, cultivation was like arduously carrying buckets of water from a great river and pouring them into one's body, then refining them into something one's own.

This was the so-called "channeling mighty power into oneself."

But now, it was like the river water was flowing in reverse!

The difference between the two was as vast as heaven and earth!

With the system's quantification, Luo Chen could see the specifics even more clearly.

According to his judgment, his current cultivation speed was at least fifteen times faster than when he first entered the Golden Core stage!

If he also considered the portion of spiritual power absorbed and transformed by the Golden Core when he wasn't cultivating, this speed would skyrocket even further.

This was truly comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator!

Moreover, since his meridians and acupoints had been developed early on, they were far more resilient and powerful than those of other Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivators. As such, he could cultivate without holding back, unrestrained.

"Calculating this, breaking through the third layer of the Golden Core stage would only take two to three years."

"And to cross the entire Golden Core realm and reach the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, it would take at most a century!"

"Indeed, my decision was correct."

Due to this excitement, the circulation of his innate cultivation technique had already stopped automatically.

It was evident that the surprises didn't end there.

Over the next few days, as Luo Chen continued to explore, he discovered many more benefits.

First, his control over the Ku Rong True Fire became increasingly effortless.

Occasionally, wondrous ideas would flash through his mind, giving him the feeling that he could utilize this primordial true fire in various ways.

There was no need to elaborate on pill refinement.

Artifact forging, combat, infusing spells, tempering his physique, and more.

Luo Chen was overwhelmed with countless thoughts and didn't know where to begin.

This was the kind of trouble that came with having too many blessings.

Another obvious surprise was that the cultivation speed of his Moonbreak Feather Wings, which were already formed, increased even further.

The Moonbreak Feather Wings were inherently the purest fire-attributed treasure, and now, with the purest fire-attributed spiritual power nurturing them, they were improving day by day.

The Xuan Fire Sword was also experiencing this rapid growth.

The only drawback was that the might of the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel and the Soul-Breaking Three Nails had significantly decreased.

Having lost the spiritual power of the other four attributes, Luo Chen couldn't maintain a balance of the Five Elements, resulting in a weakness in his abilities.

But his strengths had become even more prominent.

Luo Chen only felt a slight regret about this, without dwelling on it too much.

One could only say that everything was predestined.

The final surprise was related to the cultivation technique he had created, 'Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths.'

Although the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture' was a cultivation technique for demons, it also incorporated some demon-like body tempering methods.

The predecessor of 'Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths' was 'Heavenly Peng Transformation,' which was also a demon-like transformation technique.

The two techniques shared similar concepts.

Luo Chen had a feeling that if he could integrate the methods from the Nirvana Scripture into 'Confluence of Ten Thousand Paths,' it might accelerate his body tempering speed.

"It's a pity that under someone else's roof, time seems abundant, but in reality, one's actions are not one's own."

"If I could slowly figure out these things, the benefits would be boundless."

"But for now, I've been in closed-door cultivation for so long that those waiting for my pills outside must be anxious."

Luo Chen had no choice; he knew which matters were more important.

The other party had given him such a powerful cultivation technique, not without reason.

They just wanted him to contribute more.

He understood.

So, after a simple adjustment the next day, he went about his usual routine in Cangwu Mountain, refining the Imperial Stream Potion for the local feathered tribe.

The Imperial Stream Potions he had refined before were already being consumed.

And the effects were already showing.

Some first-tier peak flying birds had already advanced to the second tier after consuming the Imperial Stream Potion.

...

In the mountains, time seemed to stand still, while the outside world continued to turn.

Being a tool for others was always exhausting and numbing.

As a cultivator, Luo Chen wasn't exhausted, but the explosive increase in his cultivation speed made him feel a bit of joy as he gradually approached the third layer of the Golden Core stage.

However, the passage of time was inevitable.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, he had left countless traces in Cangwu Mountain, and many demon beasts recognized him.

Those with good temperaments would call him Dan Chenzi.

Those who had received his guidance in pill refinement would respectfully address him as Master Luo.

As for those with bad temperaments who looked down on humans, some would call him 'human,' while others would address him by his name.

Luo Chen didn't mind this.

He continued to live a secluded life, only dealing with three things each day: processing materials, refining pills, and cultivating.

Through this monotonous work, his proficiency in refining the Imperial Stream Potion had already reached the Great Perfection level.

Even without refining top-grade Imperial Stream Potions, he could achieve a fifty percent success rate for high-grade potions! This progress was astonishing!

His control over the Ku Rong True Fire had also reached an incredible level.

While handling a third-tier demon beast that wasn't completely dead, Luo Chen quietly used the Ku Rong True Fire to burn and refine it when no one was around.

This process took only a quarter of an hour to completely refine the demon beast.

After refining the third-tier demon beast, he immediately felt a surge of vibrant vitality within his body.

He immediately checked his attribute panel and found that his lifespan limit had increased by one year!

A single third-tier demon beast could increase his lifespan by a year; this discovery both surprised and delighted Luo Chen.

If he let loose and hunted and refined third-tier demon beasts on a large scale, wouldn't he have a chance at longevity?

But it was clear that he couldn't do that.

So, he could only suppress this thought deep within himself.

During this process, his pill refinement skills also improved significantly due to his bold and rapid progress in fire control techniques.

Everyone could see it.

And so...

Some matters naturally found their way to Luo Chen.

...

In the Cross-Reality Hall.

Luo Chen looked at the thin sheet of the pill formula in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly.

The black crow gracefully strolled on the jet-black steps of the grand hall, its wings folded behind its back, resembling a human with hands clasped behind their back.

The strange voice and tone emanating from her mouth constantly grated on Luo Chen's ears.

"After the Demon Race of the Mountain and Sea World was defeated by human cultivators in ancient times, they decided to change their cultivation methods."

"Instead of following the old-fashioned natural transformation path, they imitated cultivators, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, forcibly devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and taking the path of demon cultivation like humans."

"Thus, the distinction between wild beasts, demons, and ancient demons was made."

"To become a demon cultivator, from the second rank, they begin to form a pill, refining the horizontal bones, causing the demon body to gradually become more human-like. Especially at the third rank, under the tribulation of creation, they transform into a human form, deriving meridians, acupoints, and the Purple Mansion Qi Sea. This allows them to cultivate the rapid cultivation methods of humans and advance their cultivation more quickly."

"There's no other way, as demons naturally have long lifespans, but their progress is equally slow."

"Only by shape transformation can they barely keep up with humans."

"This is also a way to learn from humans and use it against them."

Suddenly.

Dark Spring paused, glanced at Luo Chen's unsightly face, and changed her direction.

"However, it's still too slow."

"After all, the places for demons to inhabit in this world are becoming fewer and fewer, and even the number of fourth-rank demons who can transform is decreasing. Some of them, like Crane Purity, after transforming, yearn for the human path and actively defect."

"For this reason, the powerful demons have been diligently researching bloodline inheritance and human scriptures, trying to find a solution."

"If others have found a way, I don't know about it. But I, the Phoenix Empyrean of Cangwu Mountain, have a unique advantage and have comprehended a pill formula."

"This pill formula emulates the human cultivation concept, taking the strengths and compensating for weaknesses, using shape to supplement shape, and is named the Shape Transformation Pill!"

"This is the formula you have in your hand!"

Luo Chen's heart sank.

He spoke with a hoarse voice, "According to the description, as long as a third-rank demon beast consumes this pill, it can transform into a human form and cultivate your improved demon cultivation method, right?"

Dark Spring cackled, "Yes, it's exactly as you think! In this way, the realm that demon beasts need thousands of years to cross can also be shortened to the same as humans, requiring only four to five hundred years to condense a Nascent Soul and become a fourth-rank demon beast!"

The pride in her laughter was so unrestrained.

Apparently, she was full of confidence in this pill formula.

And with Luo Chen's knowledge of pill concoction, this formula was indeed grand and ancient, with almost no flaws.

It was indeed feasible!

But if that was the case, wouldn't demons be able to gain both the innate longevity and cultivate as quickly as human cultivators?

If this continued, the Mountain and Sea World would eventually shift in terms of offense and defense.

And he, Luo Chen, would be the culprit!

Luo Chen trembled, his face grim. "Dark Spring, are you overestimating me? This Shape Transformation Pill is a fourth-rank pill, and I'm just a mere third-rank pill concoctor. I'm afraid I can't refine it."

"No, you can do it!"

"I..."

"Can't you do it?"

Dark Spring's footsteps halted, and she stared intently at Luo Chen.

As their eyes met, Luo Chen snorted.

The third-rank illusion technique, Mirror Flower Water Moon, that he had been guarding against, was instantly broken. Under the other party's relentless soul attack, he subconsciously said, "Perhaps I can try."

Dark Spring blinked, and Luo Chen immediately snapped out of it.

He was awake, but his expression became even more unsightly.

Dark Spring's ability to influence others' souls, compelling them to speak the truth, was something he couldn't resist even with his current level of cultivation, even if he had prepared in advance.

"Don't even think about it."

"The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture wasn't given to you for nothing."

"Now you possess a fourth-rank True Fire, your fire control techniques have reached the pinnacle, and with the full support of Cangwu Mountain, refining a fourth-rank pill is not a difficult task. Moreover, the pill formula, as the Empyrean said, is not too challenging. With your solid pill refinement foundation, after refining it a few times, you will surely succeed!"

"Luo Chen, don't let me down!"

Luo Chen's lips twitched, unable to voice his disagreement.

He only said that he needed time to study it carefully, and then left the Cross-Reality Hall with a dazed expression.

After leaving.

He picked up the pill formula again.

Shape Transformation Pill

[Main Ingredients: Cultivator's Nascent Soul, Cultivator's Essence Blood]

Just these two points were startling.

Typically, pills were refined using plants and demon beasts, but this time, it required a cultivator.

And a Nascent Soul, at that!

It was the fruit of a cultivator's lifelong cultivation, the so-called Dao Fruit, and it was not an exaggeration.

To refine a pill with this, wasn't it the same as falling into the path of demons and monsters?

"That's right, it's originally a demon pill formula. Using humans as the main ingredient for refinement is no different from my previous methods of using demon beast flesh and blood."

Luo Chen muttered.

He raised his eyes to the azure sky.

The sky was cloudless, a clear blue wash.

He should have felt refreshed, but instead, he felt trapped, powerless, as if he would never be able to escape for the rest of his life.

Just then.

A familiar tall figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

Luo Chen was startled.

Qingfeng!

What was she doing here? The next moment, Qingfeng clenched her fist and punched towards an empty space.

Boom!

As her fist landed, the space trembled, and ripples spread.

In the sky, a brilliant light burst forth.

A light veil-like treasure instantly shattered into four or five pieces.

And beneath the hazy veil, three figures appeared without any concealment, revealing themselves before Cangwu Mountain.

With just a glance, Luo Chen's face lit up with joy.

However, before he could rush out, a black wind surged from within the Cross-Reality Hall, pulling him into the depths of the hall.

At the same time, the black crow rushed out of the hall, passing by Luo Chen.

As they crossed paths, a telepathic message entered Luo Chen's ears.

"Stay put and don't cause any trouble. Three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can't break through my Cangwu Mountain's defenses!"

At the same time.

Three mighty voices thundered from the clear sky.

"Joyful Harmony Ancestor, please guide us!"

"Five Elements Divine Sect, please guide us!"

"Tianji Zen Master, please guide us!"
