CHAPTER 2198: CHAPTER 807: BREAKTHROUGH AND PREPARATION

The topic they discussed the most was who would return to the sect after their tenure ended and who would stay behind.

Due to the establishment of the Luo Tian Treasure Pavilion, there is currently a significant shortage of personnel.

The sect provided some support, even the old Sect Master Sima Huiniang personally came to Luo Tian Treasure Pavilion to oversee the situation, but clearly, it wasn’t enough.

Therefore, the next step would be to select some individuals from this group of sect disciples on patrol duty.

Jueqing Fairy was also in this meeting, cold and few words, yet not out of place.

Her earlier gesture of goodwill had already made many accept her.

In the eyes of Zeng Yilong and others, Jueqing Fairy was like Yang Pingdu before, once you join the sect, everyone becomes family.

In the future, we will support each other and move forward together.

Moreover, Jueqing Fairy is considered a strong one, with Sixth Layer of Golden Core strength, which provided significant reinforcement to the current Luo Tian Sect.

While everyone was chatting leisurely, Jueqing Fairy suddenly stood up.

"What’s wrong?" Zeng Yilong asked curiously.

Jueqing Fairy carefully sensed, then sat back down.

Saying it was nothing, but in her heart, she was uncertain and suspicious.

Just a moment ago, she vaguely felt a sense of dread, as if something very dangerous seemed to have appeared.

But it was only a moment, it vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Is it coming from his side?"

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Luo Chen looked with interest at the Yuan Tu Sword resting horizontally on his knees.

With a thought, an aura of Chi Xiao Sword Qi emitted from the sword.

Although it was a single aura, in reality, it was formed by the fusion of ten strands of Chi Xiao Sword Qi, which he could separate at will.

"This single strand of sword qi, under the Yuan Tu’s blessing, is lethal upon contact to those of the Golden Core level."

"If the whole aura were unleashed, even a Nascent Soul expert would be caught off guard and injured."

It might not sound much.

Compared to the Qingyang’s Great Handprint, Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plain, or even the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger, it’s much inferior.

But those techniques, which of them has not been cultivated by Luo Chen for decades, even hundreds of years?

And the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger is even more mysterious, originating from the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, involving the True Intent of Law, and cannot be compared.

Yet these ten strands of sword qi took Luo Chen only five years to cultivate.

Moreover, this is only the Minor Accomplishment state of the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture", theoretically effective only against Golden Core cultivators.

The reason it can harm Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in Luo Chen’s estimation is due to the Yuan Tu Sword’s enhancement.

If it reaches the Intermediate Stage, refining a hundred strands of Chi Xiao Sword Qi, it would certainly pose a true threat or even kill Nascent Soul experts!

Most importantly, this method doesn’t require pre-charging, doesn’t need to draw upon the Heaven and Earth Qi, and can be unleashed suddenly, catching opponents off guard!

Regarding power, Luo Chen is very satisfied.

But it is clear that his attention is not solely on that.

With a thought, the Attribute Panel swiftly appeared.

Under the cultivation technique section, the proficiency of the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Changes Sword Qi" had ascended from Beginner to Proficiency Level.

Not only that, Luo Chen could feel that his speed in refining Chi Xiao Qi next would significantly increase, no longer taking half a year for a strand, but much faster.

As for exactly how much faster, he hadn’t had time to test it yet.

"As I anticipated! Exactly so!"

Luo Chen was quite excited; originally, the sword scripture records stated that reaching the hundred strands Intermediate Stage would take at least fifty years, and a thousand strands Completion Stage at least five hundred years.

But with the Proficiency Panel’s enhancement, he could greatly reduce this time.

Perhaps it won’t be long before he can master an additional great technique!

Evidently, surprises didn’t stop at just one.

Luo Chen’s gaze shifted up.

On the Realm section, there was a slight change.

[Nascent Soul Third Layer 80/100]

His realm had finally stabilized!

The Heaven and Earth Qi absorbed during his comprehension of the True Intent of Law had been thoroughly refined, removing any restlessness.

Originally, it shouldn’t have been this fast, but in continuously refining Chi Xiao Sword Qi, Luo Chen discovered it had a considerable auxiliary effect on Pure Mana.

Coupled with the Prosperity and Decline True Fire burning day and night, he needed only five years to fully stabilize his realm.

"Let me give it a try!"

Luo Chen quietly left the Cave Mansion.

The Black Ape Puppet, always attuned to his intentions, was ready, opening a convenient path. Unnoticed by anyone, Luo Chen left Lingtian Pass.

This area within a hundred miles around Lingtian Pass had already been cleared out.

Luo Chen found a secluded spot to begin demonstrating his techniques.

As he expected, after stabilizing his realm, not only did the power of these techniques increase when used again, but most importantly, he could achieve the previous perfect control.

Any occasional leakage of Mana Fluctuation from early years could also be perfectly concealed now.

His whole temperament, no longer overly prominent, gradually faded, becoming deep and unyielding, more fitting of his Alchemy Sect demeanor.

Standing in front of a giant pit.

With great joy in his heart, Luo Chen stretched his Divine Consciousness to the fullest while pondering his next moves.

"With this, I can continue with the cultivation I had paused before and strive to break through to the Middle Stage Nascent Soul as soon as possible."

"The massive reserve of Top-grade Hongyuan Pills I stored will finally have its use."

"The Fourth-Order Medium-grade Cave Mansion at Lingtian Pass still has more than half a year left; I must not waste it but utilize it!"

Having made some plans, Luo Chen prepared to head back.

At that moment, Luo Chen’s expression slightly changed.

Without hesitation, he began to madly retract his Divine Consciousness, which was testing its maximum range.
