Chapter 768: Dao Body Revival, Transformation of Laws

While everyone was still admiring the promising future of the Fu family's young master, Elder Qi Deng, on the other hand, was genuinely envious of Luo Chen.

He didn't even bother with pleasantries, directly expressing his request.

"I wonder, could you part with that Heavenly Fate Pill?"

Luo Chen halted on the mountain path.

So, that's what it was about!

No wonder he had been puzzled earlier as to why Elder Qi Deng would go against the pressure from so many families to speak up for him. It turned out he had his eyes on Luo Chen's Heavenly Fate Pill.

And the timing was just right, neither too early nor too late.

It was as if they had been waiting for him to emerge, indicating a long-planned scheme.

Elder Qi Deng took a few steps forward, but when he noticed Luo Chen stopping, he halted as well.

Turning around, he calmly said, "You may not know this, but the Heavenly Fate Pill is crucial for late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators like us to advance to the Huashen stage. At your current level, it won't be of much use. At best, it will increase your essence energy and elevate your cultivation by a minor level or two."

"This treasure is something late-stage cultivators dream of, including the powerful members of those major families. They didn't act earlier because their attention was on the Heavenly Cavern Grand Competition, and with so many people around, it wasn't an opportune time to bring it up. But once they realize, they will surely come knocking on your door."

"At that time, you will face pressure from various families, and perhaps even the powerhouses of the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect will take an interest."

"You can't protect it!"

Luo Chen's lips curved slightly, and he retorted, "What about you, Elder? Can you protect it?"

Elder Qi Deng nodded confidently.

"Of course I can protect it! With my late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation, my status as one of the five elders of the Star Gate, and the fact that this pill was crafted by the previous Star Gate elder, Dan Sheng, I can certainly safeguard it!"

Luo Chen nodded in understanding.

Indeed, with his early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivation and his status as a newly arrived External Affairs Guest Scholar, it would be difficult for him to protect the Heavenly Fate Pill.

But regardless of strength, identity, or connection with Dan Sheng, no one in the entire Zhongzhou would dare to forcefully take it from the elder.

Seeing Luo Chen's nod, Elder Qi Deng's heart leaped with joy.

"Does that mean you agree?"

Luo Chen suddenly asked, "Since this pill is so valuable, even crucial for our advancement to the Huashen stage, what are you offering in exchange?"

Elder Qi Deng hesitated, initially planning to repay Luo Chen's earlier favor with a favor of his own. However, it was evident that this loose cultivator was not one to be easily fooled.

Even if he hadn't asked earlier, as long as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Yuan Sect appeared, no one would dare to break the rules.

Therefore, that favor could be considered optional.

But clearly, he had also made thorough preparations!

"In my life, I've cultivated for over nine hundred years, traveled across the Three Continents, and collected countless treasures."

"You've recently achieved the Primordial Spirit stage and come from a loose cultivator background, so you must be lacking in combat magical treasures. I have over ten magical treasures for you to choose from, and there's also a Slaughter True Artifact."

"Not only that, I have three fourth-stage cultivation techniques and an incomplete fifth-stage cultivation technique, which should be sufficient for your cultivation needs during the Primordial Spirit stage."

"Do you need any pills..."

As expected of a long-standing Primordial Spirit cultivator, Elder Qi Deng's offer was indeed impressive, presenting various dazzling conditions at the first opportunity.

Finally, he said, "You are currently an External Affairs Guest Scholar, which makes it inconvenient for you to cultivate on Heaven-Earth Peak. If you agree, I will convince the other elders to make you a true Guest Scholar of the Star Gate, and even promote you to the position of Venerated Elder in two hundred years!"

Faced with these tempting conditions, Luo Chen fell silent.

His silence delighted Elder Qi Deng even more, as it indicated that Luo Chen was moved.

However, the result...

"I'm sorry, but I've already consumed that pill."

Elder Qi Deng was taken aback, then his face showed disbelief.

"You had fifty years in the Heavenly Cavern, but you need to protect..."

A powerful aura slowly emerged, causing the elder to abruptly stop speaking.

Third Layer of Primordial Spirit!

He wasn't mistaken; Luo Chen had indeed reached the third layer of the Primordial Spirit stage.

Although his essence energy fluctuations were slightly agitated, this very agitation made his rapid advancement seem even more believable.

Everyone knew that before entering the Mirage Dragon Cave, Luo Chen was at the first layer of the Primordial Spirit.

But after just one year in the outside world, equivalent to fifty years in the cave, he had advanced by two minor levels. This couldn't have been achieved through mere hard work; only by consuming an ultimate pill like the Heavenly Fate Pill could such rapid progress be possible.

No wonder he could dominate in the Heavenly Cavern, with no one able to match him.

At the third layer of the Primordial Spirit stage, he already possessed overwhelming power among his peers who had yet to break through for a century.

However, this meant that his earlier posturing would now seem foolish in Luo Chen's eyes.

Just as Elder Qi Deng was feeling dissatisfied, his expression changed, and he subconsciously retreated several steps away from Luo Chen.

"Something's wrong?"

"More than that!"

Beside Luo Chen, a mysterious force was slowly spreading.

As soon as he came into contact with it, he felt that his body, already aged and weakened due to his advanced years, now had a sense of withering.

Like an old tree trembling with the arrival of autumn and winter, Seven Lights True Person swallowed his saliva and asked, "Have you comprehended it?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, made a hand gesture, and the Essence Energy fluctuations of the Ebb and Flow True Intention outside his body were forcibly suppressed within him.

"Sorry, although I'm very tempted by the conditions you offered, I'm also helpless."

Seven Lights Elder opened his mouth, then sighed with resignation.

He had been closely monitoring the Great Competition in the Inner World, hoping to make a deal with Luo Chen before anyone else, but he was still a step too late.

As expected, if fate doesn't favor you, you can't force it! Shaking his head, the dissatisfaction in his heart also dissipated.

Whether it was because he couldn't obtain the Heavenly Fate Pill or because Luo Chen had shown the potential to comprehend the Principle Essence earlier, it was unknown.

"Since that's the case, then so be it."

Luo Chen cupped his hands respectfully and thanked the other party sincerely.

"Earlier, you spoke up for me, and I've taken note of this favor."

Seven Lights Elder forced a smile, knowing that such a small favor wasn't of much use.

But Luo Chen wasn't finished speaking.

"You mentioned earlier that you could elevate my Guest Scholar status to a formal one. Is that true?"

Seven Lights Elder gave a noncommittal response, not as enthusiastic as before.

"If you can provide a precious pill like the Heavenly Fate Pill, I'll personally vouch for you."

Obviously, it was impossible! Even if Luo Chen had a Derivation Pill more precious than the Heavenly Fate Pill, he would never take it out.

Perhaps sensing the stiffness in his tone, Seven Lights Elder adjusted his mindset and asked curiously, "Actually, at your age, isn't the formal or informal status as a Star Gate Guest Scholar not that important?"

"For me, it's indeed not that important. A piece of Spirit Land and a cave abode are enough. But..."

Luo Chen nodded, then changed the topic.

"But I'm not entirely alone; I also have Dao companions, disciples, Spirit Beasts, and servants who need a place to settle down."

So that was the case.

Seven Lights True Person instantly understood his meaning.

A formal Guest Scholar of the Star Gate did have some authority compared to an external one.

One of the privileges was to bring close associates into the Star Gate.

Even if they didn't cultivate at Heaven-Earth Peak, the Dao Sect could still allocate a territory for them to inhabit.

And if Luo Chen stayed in the Star Gate for five hundred years, his descendants would have a chance to enter the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect for cultivation.

Obviously, Luo Chen was seeking the formal Guest Scholar status for this reason.

Seven Lights True Person thought for a moment, perhaps moved by Luo Chen's potential, which was no less than that of a Tianyuan True Transmitter despite his young age, and decided to reveal some inside information.

"This matter isn't difficult. The reason you can't become a formal Guest Scholar is that you're too young and haven't achieved anything yet."

"Right now, there's a perfect opportunity for you to become a formal Guest Scholar through your achievements."

A perfect opportunity! Luo Chen was taken aback, remembering something.

Before entering the Mirage Dragon Cave, he had met Grey Yuan Hong through Seven Lights Elder, and now, he had indeed filled the vacancy left by the Pill Sage's ascension, becoming one of the nineteen elders of Heaven-Earth Peak.

At that time, Grey Yuan Hong had also said something similar to win Luo Chen over.

He had said that Luo Chen had come at the right time.

And now, Seven Lights Elder was saying the same thing.

"I wonder, what is this opportunity?"

Seven Lights Elder took a deep breath, no longer speaking but transmitting his thoughts through divine sense.

"The Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect has decided that after the Mirage Dragon Cave is closed, they will send troops to the Northern Sea and Western Desert. The first is to conquer the Northern Sea's cultivation world and incorporate it into the Heavenly Yuan territory. Since you're from the Northern Sea, you must be familiar with that place. At that time, you'll go to the Northern Sea with the Heavenly Yuan army, helping them conquer cities and expand their territory. With your abilities, achieving merits will be effortless."

"Then, with your merits, I'll speak for you in the Star Gate, and I believe Fu Qinglan won't hesitate to put in a good word for you in the Dao Sect."

"This way, not only will you obtain the formal Guest Scholar status, but even the Patron position will be within reach."

After saying this, Seven Lights Elder had nothing more to say and left with a lack of enthusiasm.

After he left, Luo Chen frowned slightly.

He had anticipated that the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect might send troops to the Northern Sea, but...

Should he return to the Northern Sea?...

Since Luo Chen left the Inner World, time seemed to slow down.

It wasn't a change in lifespan but rather the feeling that waiting always made time seem to crawl!

The Great Competition continued.

As long as the True Transmitters inside hadn't come out or perished, it had to go on.

After a quick calculation, the people inside could last for at least fifty years before reaching their limit, which was half a year in the outside world.

Only after everyone had come out would the so-called Great Competition rankings be determined to decide the sect's rewards.

Regardless of the outcome, Fu Qinglan, who had already comprehended the Principle Essence ahead of schedule, was undoubtedly the top contender!

This also meant that Luo Chen had fulfilled his promise to Fu Chaosheng, and even exceeded expectations.

At the same time, it indicated that Luo Chen no longer had any attachments in the Central Province. Regarding the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect's campaign against the Northern Sea and its territorial expansion, Luo Chen had given it serious thought and realized it was a great opportunity for him.

He was not unfamiliar with the Northern Sea, and there were still many unresolved grudges there.

By joining the expedition as a Star Gate Guest Scholar, he could achieve two goals at once.

However, before that, he planned to return to the Eastern Wilderness first to bring back the people from his memories who were on the verge of fading away.

Luo Chen had already set a tentative departure date.

The day the grand tournament ended would be when he left the Central Province and returned to the Eastern Wilderness.

For now, the world's changing fortunes and the discussions about Luo Chen and Fu Qinglan had nothing to do with him.

Alone, he quietly cultivated in the 78th cave abode on Heaven-Earth Peak.

Just like the cultivation level he had displayed before Seven Lights True Person, he was indeed at the third level of the Primordial Spirit.

But unlike Seven Lights True Person's expectations of a cultivator who had just entered the third level of the Primordial Spirit! Luo Chen's progress was indeed a bit too fast.

He had been lingering at the peak of the first level of the Primordial Spirit for a long time, and his cultivation had been suppressed by the Withering and Flourishing Divine Prohibition, preventing it from rising too quickly.

After entering the Inner World, it didn't take long for him to naturally advance to the second level of the Primordial Spirit.

The next few decades were mostly spent consolidating his cultivation base.

Reasonably, Luo Chen should have been satisfied with his current cultivation level.

However, during his moment of enlightenment, he delved deep into the Essence Ocean of this world, comprehended the Withering and Flourishing True Intention, and received a Primordial Energy Feedback.

This was the Origin of this world!

The collection of spiritual energy!

Even if ordinary people received the Primordial Energy Feedback, they would still be unable to refine it perfectly due to differences in their Essence Energy cultivation attributes, only able to absorb a portion of it.

Yet, Luo Chen absorbed eighty to ninety percent of it! The vast Primordial Energy directly propelled his cultivation to the third level of the Primordial Spirit and even showed signs of advancing towards the fourth level!

Initially, Luo Chen thought this was due to the promotion of the Withering and Flourishing True Fire to the fifth rank, but later he realized it was his own physique that had caused this.

At this moment, Luo Chen stared at the "Five Elements Dao Body" attribute on his attribute panel, which had been quietly hidden next to the Fire Spirit Body for a long time, now emitting a faint glow.

"Why is it glowing?"

"Is it because I comprehended the Law True Intention?"

"But my Withering and Flourishing True Intention is also a Fire-attributed Law True Intention, it shouldn't be... Hmm?"

In the cave abode, Luo Chen, very rarely, showed a surprised expression.

This was the first time he had opened his attribute panel after his enlightenment.

He originally wanted to check his actual situation through the data on the panel and was also curious why the Five Elements Dao Body had suddenly awakened.

However, the changes on the panel were somewhat unexpected.

Not only did a new attribute, "Law," appear, but the "Withering and Flourishing True Intention" under it was categorized as Wood, not Fire!

This turn of events caught Luo Chen off guard.

Ever since his foundation-building stage, when he primarily cultivated the Wood attribute, his roots had been in Wood.

Or perhaps it was because, in the Mirage Dragon Cave, he had been influenced by Fu Qinglan's enlightenment of the essence of Wood.

"Or maybe the Withering and Flourishing True Fire itself also has an attribute and is classified as Wood?"

"If that's the case, then it's understandable that the Withering and Flourishing True Intention is categorized as Wood. After all, what I experienced and witnessed during my enlightenment was more about the cycle of life and death, the growth and decay of all things, not the explosive and domineering nature of Fire, but rather the withering and flourishing of Wood."

"This also explains the awakening of the Five Elements Dao Body. I broke free from the constraints of the Fire Spirit Body and comprehended other Law True Intentions."

"Does that mean if I can comprehend the Law True Intention of other attributes, the Five Elements Dao Body will fully awaken and cover the Fire Spirit Body?"

Luo Chen seemed to have glimpsed a path to re-cultivating his Dao Body.

Even if that path seemed somewhat vague and distant, even overly ambitious.

Just as Luo Chen was about to carefully study the changes on the attribute panel to adjust his future cultivation plans, his cave abode welcomed its first visitor.

Luo Chen's heart stirred, and he extended his hand to summon a sound transmission talisman.

After a while.

Luo Chen looked at the elderly man before him, his face flushed with a mix of a smile and seriousness.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, you've kept me in the dark for so long!"
