Chapter 878: Fifth Rank Divine Flower, Blossom Creates a Realm

January 1, 2025

"Nine Spirit Lord is in danger, hurry to the rescue!"

Crack!

Luo Chen crushed the specially made Echo Jade Disc with a squeeze, his eyes narrowing instantly.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of the message.

This was because the Echo Jade Disc was his unique treasure, often only given to those he trusted.

The last one was given to Windflower Fairy.

This time, Ling Feng Zi and Wang Yuan had gone to battle, and he had given each of them one.

The one who went to help the Nine Spirit Lord was Ling Feng Zi, and this message was sent by him.

What shocked Luo Chen was the strength of the enemy that could put even the powerful Nine Spirit Lord in peril.

"Could it be the Ox Ghost?"

The difficulty of opening the Medicine King Sect was not as great for the Nine Spirit Sect.

Initially, there were only three Demon Sovereigns guarding the place.

But during the year of opening, those three Demon Sovereigns felt they couldn't hold off the Nine Spirit Lord, so they invited two more Demon Sovereigns.

These two were the strong followers of the Ox Ghost Great Demon Sovereign.

Now, after dealing with the smaller ones, the big ones have arrived?

To rescue or not? Luo Chen only thought for a moment before making his decision.

Rescue! This was his previous promise to the Nine Spirit Lord and Master Fu. He couldn't go back on his word.

Moreover, when the Luo Tian Sect was being established, the Nine Spirit Lord had also helped, defeating the powerful Peng Xiang for him.

However, the existence that could even give the Nine Spirit Lord a tough battle, even if it wasn't the Ox Ghost Great Demon Sovereign, was certainly not an easy opponent.

Therefore, he must make the necessary preparations before setting out.

With a thought, two faint lights flew from above Skytouch Cliff.

Two divided souls returned, and the three souls reunited!

Luo Chen stamped his foot, sending an invisible wave deep into the earth, reaching the sleeping Black King.

The Black King slowly opened his eyes and swam towards Luo Chen without hesitation.

During the wait, Luo Chen extended his hand and summoned.

A small cauldron flew out from within Skytouch Cliff.

It was his personal treasure, the Primordial Cauldron! Previously, he had relied on this to set up a grand formation, isolating the outside world's detection, and even Min Longyu was helpless against the protective mountain formation.

Finally, Luo Chen sent a message with his divine sense, summoning two people.

The first to arrive was Bai Meiling, who had already reached the place, but due to her Demon Sovereign body and excessive yin energy, she dared not enter the mountain to visit the weak Sima Hewang and her child.

At this moment, she came as soon as she was called.

"Master, what are your instructions?"

"I will be leaving for a trip. You must guard Skytouch Cliff and protect Madam Hewang and her child."

Bai Meiling was startled but accepted the task without any hesitation.

Years ago, the master had saved her from the ghostly river, and she had never had a chance to repay him. Now, protecting the young master was her duty!

Li Yingzhang arrived soon after, his face still carrying a sincere smile, perhaps because he had seen Little Lingxi.

In recent days, due to Luo Chen's impending departure and the issue of power succession in the Luo Tian Sect, Li Yingzhang had faced much suspicion.

But he never had such thoughts; it was truly an unfounded disaster!

Regarding Luo Chen's summons, he didn't have many thoughts.

However, upon hearing that Luo Chen was going out, he couldn't help but show a look of confusion.

"The young master has just been born, and you're leaving, Supreme Elder?"

Luo Chen calmly said, "I promised others, so I must go. As for the sect's affairs, I'll trouble you to handle them."

Li Yingzhang nodded repeatedly, "This is my duty."

Luo Chen turned to look at the bedchamber behind him, "As for Madam Hewang..."

Without further words from Luo Chen, Li Yingzhang said resolutely, "Rest assured, the young master and Madam are the priority. I will arrange for disciples to take care of them, and the physicians from Su E's lineage will also accompany them."

With this assurance, Luo Chen's worries eased.

However, after some thought, he still instructed, "If there are any troublemakers, you can ask Lin Yonghua and Gu Hong Zhenren nearby, or even send someone to Ling Tian Pass. They... will give me this face."

Li Yingzhang noted these instructions but was puzzled.

With the Luo Tian Sect's current status, who would dare to cause trouble?

Luo Chen understood this logic, but he was just being cautious.

The ground trembled, and a black shadow broke through the soil, appearing beneath Luo Chen's feet.

Luo Chen reached out, and the black shadow climbed up and disappeared into his left arm.

Before leaving, Luo Chen turned back once more to glance at the bedchamber, his heart feeling a newfound attachment.

The once-wandering dust, because of that little guy, had finally settled, and roots had taken hold.

The memories of his past life were becoming increasingly blurred.

The experiences of this life, however, had become even more profound.

Hoo...

Luo Chen opened his mouth, and amidst Bai Meiling's soul-stirring fear, a flame of blue and white slowly flew out, landing deep within Skytouch Cliff.

"Let's go!"

Luo Chen murmured, and with Bai Meiling and Li Yingzhang's respectful send-off, he soared into the sky, transforming into a red flying light and disappearing from sight.

...

Amidst the vast clouds,

Luo Chen's figure paused, and a shuttle appeared in his hand.

It was the Frost Eagle Shuttle!

Infusing it with his power, the shuttle expanded to about ten feet.

Luo Chen stepped into it and released the Black King.

"You take control!"

The Black King didn't hesitate; this was a common task during their travels in the North Sea.

Either Tianxuan would steer the flying boat, or he would do it.

Often, this meant that Luo Chen had his own matters to attend to.

Seeing that the Black King had taken control, Luo Chen finally had some free time.

He sat cross-legged in the shuttle, recalling the events at Skytouch Cliff.

After the initial confusion, he now believed that his unfeeling, even cold-blooded, idea of "killing his child" did not come from his heart.

This sudden thought seemed to develop step by step due to reasonable external conditions, eventually reaching the level of a heart demon's obstruction.

If he had really done such a thing back then, it would undoubtedly have become the greatest mental obstacle in his future cultivation journey!

"So, what gave rise to this demonic obstruction?"

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

The journey to the Medicine King Domain, spanning several regions, was a long and arduous one.

Fortunately, the Frost Eagle Shuttle was a rare flying treasure, and with the Black King's full control, the speed was exceptionally fast. It was estimated that they would arrive in about three days.

In three days, it was uncertain if the Nine Spirit Lord could hold on.

Luo Chen had no time to ponder the situation there; he could only take things one step at a time.

Here, he gradually figured out the reason for the sudden appearance of the demonic obstruction.

"Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire!"

Luo Chen opened his eyes.

A hint of lingering fear remained on his face.

He had always been prone to heart demon invasions and even delusions.

During the Qi Condensation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, he had experienced such occurrences.

However, after he condensed his divine sense and entered the Golden Core Stage, he basically never encountered such situations again.

Especially after entering the Nascent Soul Realm, the thick Purple Mansion barrier protected the Nascent Soul, making his divine sense even more powerful, and it was difficult for ordinary external demons to invade him.

But an unexpected incident occurred! Luo Chen, through the transformation of the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, comprehended the superficial essence of Withering and Flourishing, and thus created the great ability of Withering and Flourishing Divine Finger.

In the beginning, when he used this technique, he still relied heavily on his own cultivation power.

But during his battle with the Seven Spirit Great Demon Sovereign, he grasped the knack of communicating with the heaven and earth's essence, allowing him to draw upon the essence as if he were a Transcendent Practitioner.

In his battle with Shen Yuan Zhenren, he employed this divine ability, condensing a powerful finger amidst the chaotic spiritual energy in the Taihu Region, and thus fought Shen Yuan Zhenren to a standstill.

However, this technique was not perfect.

When using this ability, the Purple Mansion barrier opened wide, and the Nascent Soul, driven by the essence of Withering and Flourishing, manipulated the heaven and earth's essence.

During this process, the Nascent Soul, without the protection of the Purple Mansion barrier, connected too closely with the heaven and earth.

Although the time was short, and he would not be assimilated by the heaven and earth, there were still inevitable consequences.

The demonic thought of "killing the child" arose naturally under these circumstances, without any abrupt transitions.

"The Way of Heaven and Earth, in harmony with nature."

"My previous actions, the solution I obtained, utilizing the bloodline connection between me and Hewang to resolve the Demon Heart Parasite's calamity, was also a natural and effortless decision."

"However, in this process, I failed to consider the emotions unique to sentient beings after the instinct of procreation—emotions like familial love."

"It was only after Lingxi's cry that I suddenly realized my mistake!"

Luo Chen sighed softly, lowering his head to gaze silently at his fingers.

From now on, he would have to be more cautious when using the Withering and Flourishing Divine Finger.

Otherwise, at his current Nascent Soul Realm, if he recklessly manipulated the heaven and earth's essence, even if he could maintain his self, other calamities would inevitably follow.

At this thought, Luo Chen became puzzled again.

"Then why is Shen Yuan unaffected by this influence?"

Shen Yuan Zhenren is capable of controlling the heaven and earth's essence!

This is not a baseless claim.

During the Divine Transformation battle at Biyu Mountain, Nascent Souls scattered and fled.

In that process, the powerful Nascent Souls displayed their abilities; some relied on their treasures, while others used powerful escape techniques. But Shen Yuan Zhenren, right before Luo Chen and Tianduzi's eyes, calmly withdrew from the battlefield.

He even remained unaffected by the confusion of essence energy and the loss of direction.

In the Taihu Region), Luo Chen used the Withering and Flourishing Divine Finger to draw upon the essence, and Shen Yuan Zhenren's green circular technique also clearly manipulated the essence.

Recalling Shen Yuan Zhenren's first appearance at Baili Qingchuan's Daguang Mountain...

Luo Chen became even more certain of his guess.

Suddenly! Luo Chen shook his head, "No, perhaps he has already been greatly affected!"

It was rumored that Shen Yuan Zhenren's personality changed drastically after the Cangwu Mountain battle.

But a defeat in battle would only cause one to lose heart; how could it lead to a drastic change in personality?

There was no emotional conflict between Qing Shuang Great Demon Sovereign and Shen Yuan Zhenren; they were neither relatives nor friends.

Moreover, the decision of the Three Demon Empresses to join forces against Qing Shuang indicated that Shen Yuan, Hehuan, and Huiping knew from the start that they might not be Qing Shuang's match. This also showed that there was no significant disparity in their perceived odds of victory.

The only reason for Shen Yuan Zhenren's personality change should be his contact with the heaven and earth's essence.

"In a normal battle, I am no match for him, but if he is also suffering from the influence of the heaven and earth's essence, perhaps I can change my approach and deal with him?"

Luo Chen thought.

But as this thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but laugh.

The other party had already reconciled with him, yet he still subconsciously thought about dealing with others.

Luo Chen calmly stood up and took control of the Frost Eagle Shuttle from the Black King.

After all, the Black King was a beast, unlike Luo Chen, who possessed great cultivation power, allowing him to control the shuttle at a faster speed.

Under Luo Chen's control, the shuttle descended, plunging into the clouds below.

The situation below quickly flashed through his eyes, like a reverse playback.

There were migrating demon beasts and cultivators flying and escaping.

In the aftermath of a major battle, Luo Chen even saw someone holding a black banner, sneaking around stealthily.

Luo Chen took a few more glances at this scene, and his heart already had a plan.

He was collecting living soul essences!

And not in the conventional way of refining them into Soul Dao treasures.

His unique method was clearly the same as the one Luo Chen had secretly released in the Heaven-Splitting Pass years ago for refining soul essences!

Thinking of the small amounts of soul essences that occasionally appeared in the black market of the Heaven-Splitting Pass over the years, Luo Chen's lips curled up slightly.

The seeds he had planted in the past had now blossomed with the help of others.

In the future, he would be able to reap the fruits and collect a large number of soul essences.

"After this matter is concluded, I should consider splitting my third soul fragment to further enhance my soul's foundation."

As Luo Chen thought this, the time it took to reach the Medicine King Domain was getting shorter and shorter.

One day, two days.

On the third day, the Frost Eagle Shuttle stopped on a dilapidated mountain peak.

Luo Chen swept his sleeves, putting away the shuttle, and quietly waited, his pale golden eyes fixed on the distant horizon.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew by.

Whoosh...

The wind stopped, and a person appeared!

Ling Feng Zi exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother, you came so quickly!"

Luo Chen retracted his gaze, focusing it on Ling Feng Zi.

Although his aura was somewhat low, there were no obvious injuries on his body. As expected, this cheap junior brother of his had exceptional survival skills!

He chuckled lightly, "Is it bad that I came quickly?"

Ling Feng Zi quickly shook his head, "Of course not, it's great. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid the Nine Spirit Lord would have been refined alive."

The words 'refined alive' were terrifying.

In fact, in Luo Chen's eyes, it was indeed so.

Three thousand li away, the light was hazy, the sky illusory, and there was a large array like an overturned porcelain bowl, covering the universe, and living beings couldn't approach it."

And within it, a nine-colored river was flowing, resisting the terrifying array's refining power.

With just a glance, Luo Chen realized that the person inside was indeed the Nine Spirit Lord.

And the one controlling the array...

"Give me a detailed report, but keep it brief."

"Yes!"

Ling Feng Zi nodded heavily and said quickly, "In the Medicine King Domain, there's a hidden opened-up space, which was left behind by the Medicine King Sect before its destruction. Inside, there's a fourth-stage strange flower, just one step away from the fifth stage. The three great Demon Empresses lingered there, unwilling to leave, just to guard this flower until it matures."

"When we arrived, they felt they couldn't defeat us, so they specifically sent the news to the Ox Ghost Great Demon Sovereign's lineage."

"Half a year ago, two fourth-stage mid-stage powerhouses under Ox Ghost came to aid, but they still couldn't defeat the Nine Spirit Lord, allowing him to forcefully enter the Medicine King Sect's forbidden space."

"A few days ago, the small space within the forbidden area couldn't withstand the power of the Nascent Soul battle, and it started to slowly shatter. The Nine Spirit Lord, having obtained the strange flower, killed his way out."

"But unexpectedly, the Ox Ghost Great Demon Sovereign had already arrived in secret, and together with the four surviving Demon Sovereigns, they set up a grand array to forcefully refine the Nine Spirit Lord!"

This speech wasn't long, but it contained a lot of information.

Luo Chen immediately grasped the key points.

"A fourth-stage strange flower?"

"Yes, I don't know the specifics, but I heard one of the Demon Sovereigns call the flower's name, it's the Void Accumulating Flower!"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up suddenly.

The Void Accumulating Flower was a famous fifth-rank Divine Flower from ancient times in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

It was rumored that this flower could only grow in a chaotic and disordered environment, using the primal energies from the void's chaos as its nourishment.

Once it reached the fifth rank, it would have two uses.

One was 'Blossom Creates a Realm', where the flower could support a small world, which was the dream of all top-tier great sects, a treasure sought after for ten thousand years.

The other was also 'Blossom Creates a Realm', but different from its literal meaning. It was when a cultivator consumed the flower, allowing them to open up a second Purple Mansion in their body, and even nurture a second Nascent Soul from nothing.

The Nascent Soul born from this Purple Mansion would not hinder the growth of the original Nascent Soul, and during cultivation, it wouldn't be affected by the erosion of the primal energies of heaven and earth, so there's no worry about the second Nascent Soul being influenced by the heavens and earth.]

"No wonder the Medicine King Sect kept this flower in a hidden space, and it was still an unstable, broken small space. Once the flower matures, the Medicine King Sect will have a true foundation for ten thousand generations."

"No wonder the Nine Spirit Lord took such a huge risk to forcefully seize this flower. With his powerful cultivation, if he obtains it, opening the second Purple Mansion will quickly generate a second Nascent Soul, greatly increasing his chances of breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage by at least two to three percent."

"No wonder the Ox Ghost Great Demon Sovereign returned, despite the pressure of the human race's counterattack, to obtain this flower..."

Three consecutive 'no wonder's showed Luo Chen's astonishment towards this flower.

Even ordinary flowers and grasses that reach the fifth rank will possess unfathomable mystical powers.

Not to mention the Void Accumulating Flower, a naturally miraculous Heaven-Talented Treasure!

Listening to Luo Chen's murmurs, Ling Feng Zi cautiously asked, "Senior Brother, are you... tempted?"

Luo Chen laughed heartily, "To say I'm not tempted would be a lie, but a gentleman wouldn't take what others desire. Since the Nine Spirit Lord obtained it, it naturally belongs to him. I came here today to fulfill my promise."

After hearing this, Ling Feng Zi had an even higher opinion of Luo Chen.

Facing a treasure, he remained unmoved, still remembering the promise he made to his friend.

Truly worthy of the Pill Sect's reputation!

"So, what should we do now? The array set up by the Ox Ghost Commander and the four Demon Sovereigns is not easy to break. I, along with Qin Bai Xiang and several other fellow Daoists, are all at a loss."

Luo Chen smiled confidently, taking slow steps forward while his hands began to form different seal formations.

"The Demon Race, they're just furred and armored, egg-laying and aquatic birth creatures."

"And they dare to speak of formations that contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth?"

"Let me break it with a single strike!"
