Chapter 889: Nirvana Holy Flame, Imprisonment Technique Success
Chapter 889: Nirvana Holy Flame, Imprisonment Technique Success
2025-01-18
"Success!"
Within the Crossing Truth Cave Abode, Luo Chen opened his eyes with joy.
At this moment, the spiritual power within his body was flowing along a completely different path than before.
From the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, and even beyond his spiritual sea, strands of spiritual power were nurturing him.
Especially the latter, which was a manifestation that others were unaware of, but Luo Chen was very clear about.
This represented that the complete 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture' possessed the effect of tempering the soul, which most cultivation techniques in the world lacked!
This was an unexpected delight for Luo Chen.
He had cultivated the 'Soul Splitting Technique' and understood the principle of strengthening the soul's foundation, which was to divide the main soul and allow the main soul and divided souls to grow simultaneously, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.
However, embarrassingly, there was a crucial part missing from the memory fragments of Han Zhan's soul, specifically the method of elevating the divided souls, which was one of the most critical parts.
For this reason, Luo Chen had painstakingly collected soul essence and refined the Grand Soul Pill to compensate for this deficiency with external force.
But now, the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture' nurtured the soul with spiritual power, following the most majestic and orthodox path of 'Refining Qi into Incarnation'. This left Luo Chen with no more flaws!
From then on, the divided souls he created would no longer lag far behind the main soul in terms of growth.
And all of this was due to...
Luo Chen took a deep breath, with a certain inexplicable anticipation, and probed his spiritual sense into the Purple Mansion.
The Nascent Soul infant suddenly opened its eyes.
With a childlike curiosity, it walked to a corner of the Purple Mansion.
There, a tree with green and white intertwining flames was stretching its branches.
However, compared to before, the flame tree had become much more restrained.
This was because, on the crown of the tree, a golden little bird was curled up and sleeping soundly with its wings tucked in.
Upon seeing Luo Chen approaching, the green and white flame tree shook its branches as if feeling very aggrieved.
However, Luo Chen didn't pay much attention, and his gaze fell on the golden little bird.
Mysterious and splendid, it possessed a beauty and majesty that was awe-inspiring.
Its feathers were soft, like clouds and mist intricately woven together.
The crown feathers on its head shone as brilliantly as the sun, exuding an air of nobility and extraordinariness.
With just a glance, Luo Chen recognized what this creature was.
A phoenix!
The divine bird of legends, the mythical phoenix!
However, at this moment, the phoenix's golden light was dim, and its figure was illusory, as if it might be blown away by the wind at any moment.
Luo Chen carefully extended his chubby little hand, and the golden flames, which should have been scorching, felt warm and gentle to him, not burning at all.
As he infused his spiritual power, the golden little bird seemed to be replenished, and in its drowsy state, it changed its position and continued to sleep soundly.
The small green and white tree beneath it felt aggrieved, thinking that the spiritual power should have been its own! Luo Chen retracted his hand and smiled with satisfaction.
Nirvana Holy Flame!
Even he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.
The cautious Luo Chen had been hesitant to let the main soul undergo Nirvana, so he chose to let the strongest divided soul undergo the process.
During the difficult Nirvana process, the divided soul gradually became unable to bear it, and failure loomed closer.
Luo Chen had almost accepted this reality.
But unexpectedly, when he activated the Nirvana technique from the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture', a golden light point was drawn out from within the Flourish and Wither Divine Flame.
As soon as the golden light point merged with Luo Chen's spiritual power, it instantly transformed into a golden flame.
Although the flame was extremely weak and far inferior to the Flourish and Wither Divine Flame at its peak, its rank was far beyond what the current Flourish and Wither Divine Flame could compare to.
This golden flame rushed into the spiritual sea, enveloping Luo Chen's second divided soul.
Although it ultimately failed to complete the soul's Nirvana, it preserved this divided soul.
Moreover, as this golden flame permeated Luo Chen's entire body, the previously incomprehensible 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture' finally became clear, and spiritual power flowed through his limbs and bones, feeling incredibly familiar as it circulated.
At that moment, Luo Chen realized that he had grasped the essence of the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture'.
His cultivation of the innate cultivation technique was also a success!
When everything was over, Luo Chen belatedly realized what had happened.
That golden flame was the Nirvana Holy Flame!
Its origin was the Fallen Demon Land—the Primordial Cauldron.
A thousand years ago, the battle between the Primordial Cauldron Demon Lord and the Qixia Primordial Lord had far-reaching consequences.
The Primordial Cauldron Demon Lord perished, and the Qixia Primordial Lord disappeared without a trace.
However, the Nine Refining Fiery Flames and the Nirvana Holy Flame they left behind continued to fight endlessly within the Primordial Cauldron, even after their fire spirit consciousness was extinguished. Their innate instincts drove them to continue the slaughter.
Until Luo Chen's arrival, when he attempted to have the Primordial Cauldron recognize him as its master.
At that time, the Nirvana Holy Flame had already lost its consciousness, but its innate instinct immediately turned towards Luo Chen because he was cultivating the Golden Core chapter of the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture'.
Within the Primordial Cauldron, it had lost its consciousness due to the Nine Refining Fiery Flames' advantage of being in its home territory.
Luo Chen's body became its new home ground.
The Nine Refining Fiery Flames relentlessly pursued and invaded Luo Chen's body, causing his physical body to collapse, forcing him to undergo physical Nirvana.
In the end, Luo Chen succeeded, the Nine Refining Fiery Flames disappeared, and the Nirvana Holy Flame almost dissipated, leaving behind only a spark that was consumed by the greedy Flourish and Wither True Flame at that time.
But the rank of the Flourish and Wither True Flame was too low back then, and it couldn't completely devour and merge with the Nirvana Holy Flame.
So, for all these years, the spark of the Nirvana Holy Flame had remained stuck within the Flourish and Wither Flame Tree.
That golden speck had always been there!
Now, as Luo Chen cultivated the complete 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture', the spark reignited, not only reviving the appearance of the Nirvana Holy Flame but also helping Luo Chen overcome the final hurdle of entering the technique.
"What rank is it?"
Luo Chen was very curious.
There is no answer, but in the mortal world, those with spiritual awareness, upon reaching the Fifth Stage, become no different from ordinary people, and it is not appropriate to categorize them with the various levels of cultivation ranks.
But Luo Chen knew that the Nirvana Holy Flame, which had fought fiercely with the Nine-Refined Fiery Phoenix for thousands of years, was absolutely of a very high rank!
Even now, it was still too weak.
"Don't bully it."
Luo Chen looked at the aggrieved Flourishing and Withering Fire Tree, carefully admonishing it.
"I know you're good at absorbing vitality, and I didn't hold back on nurturing you in the past. From now on, I'll share some of it with you so that it can get through this most fragile infancy."
The branches of the Flourishing and Withering Fire Tree drooped, looking dejected and powerless.
It didn't like the master's favoritism.
But it couldn't help but accept it.
Moreover, it could feel that the little bird sleeping on its body seemed to be related to it by blood, so how could it not care?
After settling things here, Luo Chen did not withdraw his mental focus.
The Nascent Soul Infant sat cross-legged under the fire tree, and gradually, armor began to appear on its body.
However, this armor was tattered and almost barely covered its body.
It was the shattered Mysterious Dust Armor!
Luo Chen felt a pang of heartache.
He had spent so much effort to refine this True Treasure Armor in the North Sea, and although it hadn't played a significant role in the many great battles, it had endured hardships. Now, it was in this state.
"Huang Man is dead, but Bi Zheng and Niu Gui, you just wait!"
The Nascent Soul Infant spoke harshly, forcing the Mysterious Dust Armor out of his body.
At this moment, the Mysterious Dust Armor couldn't be restored by simply nurturing it with spiritual power; it needed a large amount of materials.
Then, the Nascent Soul Infant held a small gray cauldron in his arms.
The Primordial Cauldron, on the other hand, was in much better condition.
Although it had been damaged, the cracks were healing at an astonishing speed!
With a large amount of spiritual power nurturing it, it would likely be restored to its original state in no time.
It was only at this moment that Luo Chen's mental focus slowly withdrew from the Purple Mansion.
Holding a black piece of armor in his hand, Luo Chen's face rarely showed hesitation.
Should he go back?
At this moment, he had already entered the gate of cultivation, and the detours he had taken in his practice had been corrected.
It was time to return.
But as soon as this thought came to mind, Luo Chen dismissed it.
Going back didn't mean returning to the Luo Tian Sect; he was afraid he would first go to report to the Abyss Sect.
In his current state, with his protective treasure armor shattered and his life-bound treasure unsuitable for use, if he encountered any mishaps, he would have to risk his life again.
Moreover, the Luo Tian Sect had already sent Black King to notify them.
So, at this moment, it was actually a rare period of freedom before he went to the Abyss Sect.
"First, restore the Mysterious Dust Armor, and then thoroughly familiarize myself with the Divine Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, striving to reach the level of proficiency before moving forward!"
With his determination set, Luo Chen no longer hesitated.
He took out a large amount of mineral materials from his storage ring.
After so many years of cultivation, he had accumulated a vast fortune.
Some of it had been consumed in cultivation, some had been left to the Luo Tian Sect, and the rest included many "immovable assets."
These mineral materials, mostly obtained from the Thousand-Foot Mountain in the Demon-Subduing Land, were his treasures.
Their value was immeasurable!
If Luo Chen were to die in battle one day, and someone were to obtain his storage ring, they would likely become extremely wealthy!
Restoring the Mysterious Dust Armor was not difficult for Luo Chen.
After all, when he refined this treasure back then, to prevent failure, he had pushed the deduction of its large and small apertures to the extreme.
Even the six armor formations, he had practiced them individually to a very high level of proficiency.
Now, it was merely a matter of repair, and with the materials available, it wasn't a big deal.
It didn't even take three months for the Mysterious Dust Armor to be repaired to a rough shape.
It still retained its original design, with the only drawback being its weakness, requiring spiritual power nurturing and enhanced mental cultivation.
Luo Chen didn't mind the trouble.
He had plenty of spiritual power.
Mental cultivation, for him, could also be handled by his second soul.
Next!
Without a single mistake, he recited the scripture, and his aura surged.
Luo Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, first letting the Nascent Soul Infant wear the treasure armor for close-range spiritual power nurturing. Then, in his sea of consciousness, the massive main soul merged the failed soul fragment from the Nirvana Scripture.
As the Divine Phoenix Nirvana Scripture operated, his spiritual power began to ebb and flow.
The abundant spiritual energy in the cave residence surged towards him, and as he breathed, it was as if a giant whale was sucking in water.
His aura also began to gradually rise.
...
Cultivation knows no day or night, a hundred years pass in a flash, and a thousand years are but a fleeting moment.
In the blink of an eye, seven years had passed!
This was Luo Chen's tenth year back in Cangwu Mountain, and he had almost been forgotten, having never left his residence.
It was only when a powerful aura broke through the formation's cover, dispersing the clouds in the sky, that people realized there was a special existence in the Crossing Tribulation Palace.
"He broke through?"
He Qingzi was shocked. She had thought Luo Chen's cultivation speed was already fast enough, as he had leveled her nearly thousand years of bitter cultivation in just over two hundred years.
But now, she realized that wasn't even Luo Chen's limit.
If such an existence could become her cultivation partner, it would be the most promising potential stock.
If Luo Chen could maintain this cultivation speed, even reaching the Divine Transformation Realm might not be impossible.
A cultivation partner of a Divine Transformation Master... He Qingzi inexplicably thought of that Jinxiu Immortal.
He wasn't particularly outstanding, but by relying on the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian, he had achieved the Great Demon Emperor realm and even a high status.
"I can't let such potential stock slip away!"
He Qingzi licked her red lips and hurried towards Luo Chen's cave residence.
However, the door to the cave residence remained tightly closed.
Instead, outside the residence, Lei Yu Shen Peng walked out looking dejected, without even greeting He Qingzi.
The Thunder Prison Divine Phoenix had discovered that after Luochen's breakthrough, the vast power he revealed had surpassed its own.
Although he had now recovered most of his cultivation, he was still far from his peak.
But even if he truly returned to his peak, could he seek revenge on Luochen?
"Forget it!"
"The one who fought me was the Nine Spirit Lord, why would I take it out on Luochen?"
Hey!
With this thought, the sense of defeat instantly dissipated.
Heqingzi pouted at the departing Thunder Prison Divine Phoenix. She admired Yunhe Zhenren's elegance and Luochen's handsome appearance, his limitless future, but had no interest in rough men like Thunder Prison.
Of course, if she had witnessed Luochen's ability to transform into a hundred zhang tall figure, she might not have thought this way.
Heqingzi's visit to Luochen's door went unanswered.
At this moment, Luochen had no time to pay attention to her.
Because, taking advantage of his breakthrough, he was splitting his main soul.
Currently, he had reached the fifth layer of Nascent Soul! His profound cultivation base surged once more, and compared to a true Great Cultivator, he was no less impressive, even slightly surpassing those at the seventh layer of Nascent Soul.
As for his soul, with the fusion of the three souls, it was estimated to be on par with the previous Youquan.
But Luochen still felt dissatisfied.
When he was at the fourth layer of Nascent Soul, he could have already split his third soul, but at that time, considering the imminent Demon-Human War, he had put it off.
Now, there was no need for that.
It wasn't that he was carefree about the future, but after cultivating the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture', he could quickly recover from soul weakness, thus maintaining a stable combat power.
Most importantly, he should have mastered the 'Imprisonment Soul Technique' by now.
In the cave mansion, Luochen's face contorted, his muscles twisted, and his teeth clenched tightly.
Even after experiencing this twice, the pain of splitting the main soul was still hard to get used to.
But this time, he managed to control himself and didn't cry out.
This was progress!
It felt like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a few dozen breaths.
Suddenly, Luochen's body relaxed.
His main soul trembled, and a ball of golden light slowly descended into his sea of consciousness.
The first and second split souls turned to look at the golden light. They saw it rolling in the rippling golden sea of consciousness, gradually forming a vague figure, and finally taking on Luochen's appearance.
The third soul occupied another position, and together with the other two split souls, they guarded Luochen's main soul in the center.
Luochen, slightly weakened, looked at the third soul.
"Let's begin!"
The third soul showed no discomfort, as if it already knew what to do, and immediately began forming intricate hand seals.
The other two powerful split souls also formed the same hand seals.
In an instant, the sea of consciousness rippled with golden waves, and scattered spiritual power surged towards the three souls, causing them to grow rapidly.
The process stopped when their size matched Luochen's main soul.
Then, they formed the Embracing Origin Seal and exhaled lightly.
Hoo...
Golden light sprayed out, forming a spherical light curtain that enveloped Luochen and the three split souls within.
The 'Imprisonment Soul Technique' was complete! Only now did Luochen truly relax.
With a thought, the spiritual power absorbed by the three split souls returned to its original state.
He felt the defensive strength of the 'Imprisonment Soul Technique' and was extremely satisfied.
The 'Soul Splitting Art' was correct; this defensive soul technique had no distinction in rank, only the number and strength of the split souls mattered.
The more split souls and the higher their cultivation, the stronger the defense of the 'Imprisonment Soul Technique'.
At this moment, unless there was a soul three times stronger than Luochen's main soul, it was impossible to harm his main soul!
In this world, aside from Divine Transformation Realm masters, who else could possess such a profound soul foundation?
Such individuals were few and far between.
Moreover, even if there were, Luochen wouldn't stop his progress. His split souls would continue to increase, and the 'Imprisonment Soul Technique' would become stronger.
"Han Zhan was truly a pity!"
"If his body was still intact, with a sea of consciousness to rely on, using nine split souls to cast this technique, even with my Dragon Slaying Technique, it would be difficult to break his defense."
Luochen thought of the well-wisher who had helped him dig the well.
Then, he began to rest.
...
Several days later, at the entrance of the Tongxuan Hall.
Luochen, dressed in white, stood quietly for a long time before turning and leaving.
Qixia Yuanjun was not there!
The 'Moon Maid' in the hall naturally wouldn't and didn't dare open the door for him.
Luochen didn't insist; he had only come to do a superficial gesture, to thank this 'senior' for the fair trade.
He didn't visit Qing Shuang or Youquan either; their relationship wasn't that good.
He only found Huamei.
He gave her the new Transformation Pill formula he had obtained from the Refining Heaven Demon Lord.
"This pill formula doesn't require the Nascent Soul essence blood of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and its usage isn't limited to the Fourth Stage or below; even Fourth Stage Demon Beasts can use it."
Huamei was overjoyed and wanted to ask Luochen more questions about pill refining.
But Luochen was determined to leave.
He didn't have the qualifications to take away his old friend Haoranzi, so this was all he could do.
At least, from now on, Cangwu Mountain wouldn't need to draw his blood to refine the Transformation Pill.
Even as a prisoner, his days would be better.
Luochen transformed into a red light and disappeared within the Cangwu Mountain range, surrounded by flying birds.
A thousand li away from the mountain, his figure paused.
A black light burst out from the ground and rushed towards him, eventually disappearing into his arm.
A flash of red light, and he was in the sky.
