Chapter 1934: Chapter 713: Han Zhan’s Legacy, New Life Amid Ruin
The slave marks on both of them had already been resolved by Luo Chen’s physical Nirvana in the Ming Zhao Heaven Pill Hall.
Therefore, Tian Xuan was unable to recognize Luo Chen for a moment.
However, through his familiar tone and mannerisms, she realized that Elder Han... no, the scheming Old Thief Han wouldn’t act this way.
Sang Jinghe, whose years of effort had been entirely lost, was silent after being enlightened by Luo Chen.
Only after the two great demons finished talking, he cautiously asked, "Did the Ascendant Master... successfully achieve Nascent Soul Formation?"
Black King and Tian Xuan exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"From now on, you should call him True Master!"
...
In the Earth Abyss.
Miles away from Luo Chen’s previous Cultivation Land, Luo Chen sat cross-legged in a newly opened mountain cave.
The place before had its Earth Vein disturbed, drawing out a lot of Spirit Qi due to the Nascent Soul Condensation, causing the Spirit Qi concentration to drop below the Fourth Order.
Though it’s slowly recovering, the Spirit Qi is restless during the recovery, making it unsuitable for cultivation.
Thus, Luo Chen chose another place to cultivate.
This relatively small and rugged cave still maintained a Spirit Qi concentration of the Fourth Order and was relatively peaceful.
Luo Chen didn’t have time for elaborate arrangements and immediately deployed "Dust Origin Technique" to clear his mind and focus his thoughts.
Half a day later.
Only then did he recover quietly.
The previously agitated thoughts, the chaotic ideas, finally calmed down.
"The things outside, just a few words are enough, next is handling the matters of my own body."
Luo Chen muttered to himself, first observing his physical body.
Under the Thunder Tribulation, not only was there no damage, but it also advanced through Heavenly Thunder Body Refinement.
The advancement was not large, merely five progress points, reaching [Ancient Desolation Fourth Order 40/100].
Regarding this, Luo Chen was quite satisfied.
The further in the Body Refinement Stage, the slower the progress, especially when "Myriad Paths Confluence" could no longer provide more support.
This time, only one day’s effort resulted in a leap of five progress points, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.
"This is probably the last afterglow of the ’Myriad Paths Confluence’."
Luo Chen shook his head, his long hair not fluttering, only witnessing the chilling breeze.
He instinctively scratched his bald head and chuckled silently.
Though there was no damage to his physical body, all his beautiful hair was singed and burned away during the Five Thunder Blast.
But it was of no concern.
Just hair, along this journey, it had long been subjected to many devastations.
There were times it fell out entirely, turned gray, or was caught in cycles of drying and flourishing.
If he wanted, he could summon Origin Force and regenerate it instantly.
However, that would be somewhat wasteful.
It would be better to undergo Closed-Door Cultivation for a year or two, and it would naturally grow back.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, no longer focusing on his physical body, but rather internalizing his consciousness, engaging his weak Divine Consciousness in an Inner View of the Purple Mansion.
The Sea of Qi that was once like a Sea of Fire had vanished.
It transformed into a thick barrier, as if it formed a Cave Mansion within his body.
Based on ancient texts and Elder Han’s descriptions...
Thinking of Han Zhan, Luo Chen’s thoughts paused, then compared his current state with his memory.
After Nascent Soul Condensation Stage, a cultivator’s Three Treasures temporarily unite, forming the so-called Three Flowers Gathering at the Head state.
In this state, the Divine Soul, fearful of the blazing sun and fierce wind, can use the Nascent Soul to go out, achieving the initial stage of Yin Soul Turns into Yang Spirit.
This is only the initial stage; to truly transform into Yang God, fearless of any harsh external natural environment, one must reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.
But I digress.
Returning to the Nascent Soul Realm.
In this realm, a cultivator’s Nascent Soul can traverse the world, observe wandering Spirit Qi, natural evolution, and even the pathways of the Great Dao! Thus, they are said to have seen the true heaven and earth, which is where the term "True Master" originates.
Luo Chen already briefly experienced this state of observing heaven and earth during the Nascent Soul Formation.
Divine Fusion with the World!
Nonetheless, the longer the Nascent Soul is separated from the physical body, the more it risks being assimilated by heaven and earth, losing its own consciousness.
This experience is coveted by each cultivator, yet also feared.
Therefore, in a lengthy cultivation process, to prevent the Nascent Soul from being assimilated by heaven and earth, the result is the cultivation of a Purple Mansion barrier within the Sea of Qi.
By using the vast Sea of Qi, it is transformed into a thick Purple Mansion barrier, insulating the Nascent Soul from heaven and earth’s assimilation. Only during combat does the Nascent Soul briefly contact heaven and earth.
This is why Han Zhan dared not act recklessly after his physical body was destroyed, mostly recoiling within Luo Chen’s Primordial Chaos Tripod, Soul-Refining Flag, to even the Soul Nurturing Wooden Plaque, going as far as to halt cultivation.
Thus, the Purple Mansion is both a limitation for cultivators and a protection for the Nascent Soul.
At this moment, under Luo Chen’s observation, his Purple Mansion barrier was exceedingly thick and immeasurable.
The internal space of the Purple Mansion was vast, far from a mere few inches.
"It must be formed from my own foundation."
Awakening to this, Luo Chen turned his attention to the situation within the Purple Mansion.
An abundance of pure Qi Power formed a swirling aura, held within the Purple Mansion.
Within the swirling aura, a white, delicate child identical to him sat cross-legged inside.
Though called a child, every feature from the nose to the eyes, from the limbs to the torso, was distinctly outlined, completely a proportional reduction of Luo Chen’s body.
This wondrous creation was truly breathtaking.
The child sat quietly there, motionless, surrounded by the swirling aura, yet separated from it.
