Chapter 662: Spirit-Linking Lotus Platform, Instantly Killing Four Golden Core Cultivators!

Chapter 662: Spirit-Linking Lotus Platform, Instantly Killing Four Golden Core Cultivators!

The Thousand Ridges Mountain Range spanned tens of thousands of miles, with numerous towering peaks.

These peaks stood seemingly scattered, but there was an underlying order to their arrangement.

The shorter the mountain, the lower the grade of the minerals within, and the greater the number of low-level exotic beasts in hiding, emphasizing quantity over quality.

Conversely, the taller the mountain, the higher the grade of minerals it contained!

Not only that, but the grade of the exotic beasts guarding the mountain also increased, almost perfectly corresponding to the mineral grade.

The difference lay in the fact that as the grade of minerals and exotic beasts increased, their numbers decreased.

First-grade minerals were in the tens of thousands, second-grade in the thousands, and third-grade mines were numbered in the hundreds.

However, when it came to fourth-grade mines, the number of exotic beasts decreased sharply, with only a few, or even just one or two, guarding the area.

In such cases, for Golden Core Cultivators, only first-grade mines were easy to conquer; the rest were challenging.

Although second-grade mines had lower-grade minerals, the number of exotic beasts was too high.

Third-grade mines had slightly fewer beasts, but with hundreds of third-grade beasts charging, even average Golden Core Cultivators would not dare to face them directly.

Even a powerful trio like Luo Chen's group had to avoid the onslaught of the third-grade black gold vipers.

As for fourth-grade mines, it was even more challenging!

At this moment, beneath a towering blue fourth-grade mine, four figures were swiftly descending.

Once they left the range of the blue mountain, the four quickly entered a pre-arranged formation.

They held their breath and focused, gazing at the outside world.

Soon, they saw a giant blue ape leaping back, and upon reaching the mountain, it seemed to realize something was missing, causing it to roar in anger.

Hearing the roar, the four revealed smiles.

Within the formation, a shadowy figure appeared.

The figure was slender, and upon seeing the four laughing, she immediately asked, "Did you get the blue derivative lead?"

The leader was a red-haired elder, and he nodded.

"Of course, we used our most powerful methods to directly sever the blue derivative lead vein, and the most refined part is in my hands. This time, we have to thank Fellow Daoist Youya for leading away that giant ape."

Youya's face was hidden beneath a hood, making her expression unreadable. She simply extended her hand towards the elder.

"Give me my share!"

The elder raised his eyebrows, "This vein is intact, and it's not easy to divide the profits. Unless..."

"Give it to me!" Youya's tone was uncompromising.

The elder's face darkened.

Seeing this, the other three quickly tried to persuade her.

However, Youya remained unmoved.

She stared at the red-haired elder, "Elder Red Corpse, if I can lead away a fourth-grade exotic beast, I can also bring it back. Are you sure you won't give it to me?"

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense!

The elder took a deep breath and retrieved a translucent blue crystal from his storage bag.

When he took it out, the faces of the other three changed.

"This is the highest-quality blue derivative lead, almost reaching fifth-grade. How can you..."

The elder raised his hand to interrupt the others and forced a smile.

"The Thousand Ridges Mountain Range is the most dangerous and wealthy place in the Five Elements World. We avoided the four most populous areas and came here to search for rare minerals, relying on Fellow Daoist Youya's Shadow Concealment Technique."

"She contributed the most, so she deserves the best share of the spoils!"

"Fellow Daoist Youya, we hope for continued cooperation in the future."

Youya scoffed and took the blue derivative lead from Elder Red Corpse, who was reluctant to part with it.

As soon as she obtained it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"With this, my Shadow Concealment Technique will have no flaws. Even a Nascent Soul True Man won't be able to find my true body, and perhaps I can venture into that inheritance land."

Having made up her mind, she saw no need for further cooperation!

In front of the four, her figure gradually began to dissipate.

Elder Red Corpse's face changed, "Fellow Daoist Youya, are you going back on your word?"

Youya shook her head, "It's not going back on my word, I'm just terminating our cooperation."

"You!"

"Stop her!"

The three were furious and wanted to forcibly detain the woman.

However, Elder Red Corpse's stern shout interrupted their actions, and their fear was evident.

He was also concerned about the giant blue ape nearby.

Seeing this, Youya couldn't help but smile.

"Elder Red Corpse, you have a good temperament, and I shouldn't push it too far. I have some news that might make up for one or two of your losses in the future."

"Three hundred miles from here, I saw the Nine Yang Golden Eagle fighting a human."

"If you hurry, you might get a bargain."

Her voice still echoed in their ears, but when they looked again, Youya had already left the formation, her figure disappearing without a trace.

This was the Shadow Concealment Technique of the renowned Northern Sea Shadow Witch!

Her ability to hide and evade formations and seals was unparalleled.

Elder Red Corpse was not surprised by her skills, but seeing her freely enter and exit his formation still sent a chill down his spine.

He turned back and faced the dissatisfied gazes of the other three, shaking his head.

"We can't keep her here, and with the giant ape as a formidable enemy nearby, unless you want to die."

The other three understood this logic, but they were still unwilling.

Without the Shadow Witch to control the exotic beasts in this area, their future profits might decrease by seventy to eighty percent!

In that case, it would be better to seek treasures in the Sand Sea or the Wooden Heaven Plains.

Elder Red Corpse also had the same thought, but he hadn't expected the Shadow Witch to terminate their cooperation after obtaining the blue derivative lead.

"Forget it, let's go to the Nine Yang Golden Eagle's location and see if we can find any loopholes. After that, we'll leave the Thousand Ridges Mountain Range and go to the Wooden Heaven Plains to gather spiritual herbs!"

He was the highest-level cultivator among the five, having reached the ninth layer of the Golden Core stage.

With the Shadow Witch absent, his decision was unquestioningly followed by the group.

The four quickly packed up the formation, concealed their presence, and navigated around the tall and short mountains, heading towards the Nine Yang Golden Eagle's territory.

...

In the valley between the mountains.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave's expression turned grim as he was surrounded by a black dragon and a bluebird, both eyeing him intently.

If it were just a single demonic beast, he wouldn't have given it a second thought.

But with two of them, it became a tricky situation.

Especially the black dragon, which was currently displaying the aura of a late-stage Tier 3 demonic beast, its power rivaling that of the Great Demon Kings who had been cultivating for many years.

He looked up at the two figures standing in the sky.

"Azure Sun Demon Lord, are you telling the truth?"

Before Luo Chen could respond, Ding Yi spoke up.

"Is the truth still determined by his word alone? Lord, we've known each other for many years, and if you don't believe me now, does that mean you believe him instead?"

"If he kills me, you'll be next. Previously, he didn't even greet us before setting up an ambush and luring a foreign beast to attack us. It was his doing!"

"Lord, don't hesitate!"

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave seemed to be ready to act, but he didn't immediately make a move.

Luo Chen glanced at him coldly, "Your hesitation proves that you believe my words. Cloudsoaring friend, think carefully. Do you really believe that Ding Yi only knows how to use the gourd treasure as his sole method? What about his other abilities? Is it that he doesn't want to use them or that he can't?"

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave's face grew more somber.

It should be the latter! He was well aware of Ding Yi's capabilities; at the ninth layer of the Golden Core, he possessed two or three formidable treasures, no less impressive than the Yellow Skinned Gourd.

When dealing with the Nine Yang Golden Eagle, Ding Yi had exhausted all his means, yet he was still struggling.

Given their friendship, Luo Chen wouldn't have stood by and let him be attacked by the Nine Yang Golden Eagle.

At this moment, he realized that if the other party had truly perished, then what was on his body was the so-called Great Tai Sui.

This explained why, after meditating for half a day in the stone palace, his cultivation power hadn't recovered much.

It was clear that the other party had used the time to refine Ding Yi's treasure.

Moreover, due to the time constraint, he had only managed to refine the Yellow Skinned Gourd.

Seeing his silence, Luo Chen coldly looked at "Ding Yi," or rather, the Great Tai Sui! "At this point, my killing intent is evident. Instead of engaging in a life-and-death struggle with me, you're trying to persuade Cloudsoaring friend. It seems you know you're no match for me!"

"Since that's the case, then you shall die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Chen swiftly formed a spiritual seal.

The Hell of Samsara instantly began to contract, enveloping both him and the Great Tai Sui.

The Great Tai Sui's face changed drastically, attempting to mobilize the power within his Golden Core, but it felt unruly and difficult to control.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen had already made his move.

Seven swords merged into one!

They pierced through the air!

"Stop!"

The Great Tai Sui hastily shouted.

However, Luo Chen showed no signs of stopping, and facing the terrifying killing move, he truly panicked.

"Don't you want to know the true location of the Five Elements Lotus Platform?"

While speaking, he vigorously clapped his hands.

The fat on his body once again rolled like waves, and under the intense stimulation, Ding Yi's body became as thin as a bamboo pole.

Boom!

The combined tip of the Seven Stars Saber was blocked by the illusory fan.

The Great Tai Sui clenched his teeth, his expression turning extremely ugly.

He never expected Luo Chen's strength to have reached such a level, employing a technique similar to the Nascent Soul Domain to suppress his cultivation power, rendering it unusable.

After using his innate skill on the Nine Yang Golden Eagle, the remaining power was not much.

If he were to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the other party, this remnant incarnation body would likely be in danger.

"Azure Sun Demon Lord, I know what you're thinking."

"You've discerned the distribution of spiritual energy in this world, and in your heart, you probably believe that the Five Elements Lotus Platform is located in a place rich in wood attribute spiritual energy. Even if you kill me, you can still find it yourself."

"But I'm telling you, you're wrong!"

The Great Tai Sui anxiously and quickly spoke, and during this process, his body became increasingly withered, no longer resembling a bamboo pole.

It was like a skeleton covered in skin.

Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged as he manipulated the Soul Heaven Sword Case to control the Seven Stars Saber.

He coldly said, "It's not just in a place rich in wood attribute spiritual energy, but also within the Quintessence Condensation Site!"

"No, it's still wrong!" The Great Tai Sui quickly objected, anxiously saying, "The Five Elements Lotus Platform within the Demon Annihilation Land has already reached the limit of the fourth stage and is about to break through to the fifth stage. It has long surpassed the restrictions of the Quintessence Condensation environment. It's currently wandering somewhere in the Five Elements World, and ordinary people can't find its true location. Only I know where it is! If you kill me, even if you search the Five Elements World for a hundred years, you still won't find the true body of the Five Elements Lotus Platform!"

Clang!

The tip of the sword paused slightly.

Feeling that the killing move no longer impacted his protective technique, the Great Tai Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly said, "I'm definitely not deceiving you. The Five Elements Lotus Platform has already become spirit-linked, and it's far superior to the pseudo-spirits in the Thousand Ridges Mountain Range that were forcibly imbued with spirituality. If you want this object, you need me!"

Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was quickly communicating with Han Zhan in his mind.

"Is he telling the truth?"

"It's hard to judge, as the Five Elements Lotus Platform has always been controlled by the sacred lands. The one obtained by Qingdan Valley was only at the initial stage of the fourth tier and hadn't become spirit-linked yet. However, this person's soul fluctuations are extremely intense, so he's probably not lying."

Is that so?

Luo Chen hesitated, as Han Zhan had previously mentioned that the Five Elements Lotus Platform might be in the Quintessence Condensation Site.

This was the main reason he dared to ambush and kill the Great Tai Sui.

Even without the other party, he could still find the Five Elements Lotus Platform.

But at this moment, it seemed like an unexpected turn of events!

In an instant, Luo Chen made a decision.

"I can spare your life, but this time, you must sincerely help me find the Five Elements Lotus Platform!"

The Great Tai Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, I can even swear an oath. However... you also need to agree to one thing for me!"

"Oh?" Luo Chen's tone turned heavy.

But this time, the Great Tai Sui didn't back down, "You must agree, otherwise, even if you kill me, it's useless. What's on Ding Yi is just a remnant of my thoughts, and this body is merely an incarnation for me. At worst, I'll abandon this body!"

Luo Chen suppressed his impatience, "What is it? Speak, and I'll listen."

There's room for negotiation!

The Great Tai Sui immediately said, "It's simple. After I help you find the Five Elements Lotus Platform, you and the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave must go to where my true body is located and help me remove the restrictions binding it."

"Impossible!"

Luo Chen flatly refused.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the other party, "Just a single incarnation is this troublesome, let alone the true body. I, Luo, dare not even imagine how formidable it is. What if you suddenly turn on me after achieving your goal..."

"I can swear a grand oath!" Tai Sui said sharply, as if grasping at a life-saving straw. "If I go back on my word and target you after I succeed, may the Five Thunders strike me down, and may I never reincarnate!"

"Lord Qingyang, you don't need to worry about my sincerity. My true body is Tai Sui, and I'm most afraid of thunder and fire due to my spiritual connection with plants. This oath will have a significant binding effect on me!"

Luo Chen hesitated.

Looking at Tai Sui's sincere expression, he slowly said, "Just swearing an oath is not enough. I need to place some restrictions on you."

As he spoke, a cluster of green flames rose from his palm, floating in the air.

In an instant, Tai Sui's pupils constricted slightly.

But with his life now in the hands of others, he had no choice but to submit.

"I agree."

Luo Chen smiled slightly. After the other party took the oath, he slapped the withered and flourishing True Flame on the other party's body, near the Qi Sea.

This way, there would be a double insurance.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Luo Chen dismissed the Hell of Samsara, putting the Black King and Tianxuan into the Spirit Beast Bag, no longer suppressing the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave.

Then, he put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

As the ghostly mist dissipated, the sky suddenly cleared.

At that moment, a surprised exclamation rang out.

"Supreme Nine Sun Yin Gold! And such a large piece!"

Accompanying the voice were four figures.

They hovered in the sky, looking down at the three people below.

One was a Ninth Layer Golden Core cultivator, his breath weak and feeble, as if he had just performed some secret technique that greatly damaged his vitality.

Another was a Seventh Layer Golden Core cultivator, his face pale, his robe tattered, and eagle claw marks on his body.

The other person, however, had an impressive aura, but he only displayed the cultivation base of a Sixth Layer Golden Core cultivator.

"It seems you've exerted a lot of effort to kill this Nine Sun Golden Eagle!"

Crimson Corpse Ascetic smiled sinisterly.

With a wave of his hand, the other three slowly spread out, surrounding Luo Chen and his group.

Not only that, but two more figures appeared behind him, lifeless with bronze skin and iron bones, making them seem formidable.

Facing this scene, the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and immediately summoned his lifebound treasure, the bronze cauldron.

Tai Sui, on the other hand, let out a bitter laugh.

"Lord Qingyang, I truly have no strength left now."

Luo Chen's expression remained calm, and he shook his head.

"It doesn't matter; they're just a bunch of fools seeking their own demise!"

As he spoke, the dismissed Hell of Samsara reappeared, encompassing the entire valley!

A terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the four Golden Core cultivators.

When this pressure appeared, Crimson Corpse Ascetic's face changed.

"Nascent Soul True Man?"

There was no answer, only a giant green handprint that tore through the air.

And behind the layers of Azure Sun Great Palm Imprints, four flying swords with piercing sharpness!

In front of the other three, a flying sword also attacked.

The three Mid-stage Golden Core cultivators tried to resist, but for some reason, they couldn't muster their spiritual power in time.

It was just a momentary lapse, and the flying swords pierced through their chests, emitting a terrifying killing aura, shattering their Golden Cores and souls!

Crimson Corpse Ascetic's face was filled with terror, and he quickly controlled two refined corpses, comparable to Great Cultivators, to block the attack.

Boom! Boom! The terrifying palm prints knocked the two refined corpses flying, breaking their defensive formation.

And after the palm prints, the four flying swords suddenly appeared, continuously attacking with Crimson Corpse Ascetic at the center.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sharp sound of metal clashing continuously rang out, indicating that this person also had formidable treasures protecting him.

Amidst his terror, Crimson Corpse Ascetic had only one thought.

"Run!"

His spiritual power surged out, temporarily pushing back the mysterious suppression, giving him a moment of tranquility.

Only then could he calmly control his spiritual power.

He endured the attacks of the four flying swords and tried to escape.

But at that moment, a sudden booming sound echoed.

The next instant, the red-robed Daoist appeared, blocking his escape route.

Crimson Corpse Ascetic stared at the cold eyes and quickly spoke, "Fellow Daoist, it's all a misunderstanding. We were just passing by..."

His eyes were deep and mysterious, as if falling into an illusion.

When Crimson Corpse Ascetic regained consciousness from the pain, four sharp swords had already pierced his chest, and his Golden Core was held by the red-robed Daoist's hand, which was as hard as jade.

"How could this be..."

Plop!

The corpse fell to the ground.

The two refined corpses also fell to the ground with a loud thud.

On the ground, the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave looked at the three corpses and then raised his head, gazing at the sky with reverence.

Facing four alone, instant kill!

Lord Qingyang, truly terrifying!

Tai Sui's expression was also filled with shock and doubt. He knew that the opponent might be very strong, strong enough to annihilate him.

But he hadn't expected the opponent's methods to be so formidable and their battle awareness to be so exquisite and unparalleled.

There was no prolonged battle, only an instant annihilation as swift as thunder.

"Ding Yi, you've really found me a good helper!" Tai Sui thought resentfully.

In the sky, as Luo Chen was about to land, he suddenly turned his head.

Subconsciously, he looked in a certain direction but saw nothing.

He frowned and then descended to the ground, and seven sharp swords swiftly sheathed themselves in the sword case on his back.

He patted the Spirit Beast Bag, and a green figure flew out—it was Tianxuan.

"Help me collect the spoils of war. Those two refined corpses should be intact; bring them to me!"

"Yes, Master!" Tianxuan responded crisply and efficiently, first heading towards the Nine Sun Yin Gold on the ground, which was as large as a millstone.

When they saw Tianxuan fly out, transforming from a green seagull into a human form, the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave and Ding Yi were shocked once again.

An Incarnated Demon Cultivator?

But why was it only at the third-tier level?

Luo Chen paid no heed to their shock and walked straight to Tai Sui.

"Tell me about this so-called Five Elements World."
