Chapter 1915: Chapter 708: The Marvelous Uses of the Stone Dragon, Physical Body Rampage
Finally, the Blood Sea Elder Ancestor fell, and the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul transformed into a desolate landscape, taking root in the Quicksand Sea of the Five Elements Heaven.
"In the past, I took an enormous risk to snatch this remnant soul from the hands of Lord Tianrang of the Quicksand Sea. Although it was to ruin the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo’s plans, what exactly is the use of this soul?"
Luo Chen was very curious.
He executed a Soul Absorption Technique spiritual secret, arduously drawing out a wisp of the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul.
Just one wisp!
He dared not capture more, even though the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul lacked consciousness.
This pure wisp of soul had only just appeared, yet before Luo Chen could examine it closely, he immediately sensed something unusual around him.
Within the abyss, spirit qi was incredibly abundant.
At that moment, a large amount of spirit qi surged towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly retracted that wisp of the Stone Dragon soul back into the Soul Summoning Banner.
By this time, the frenzied spirit qi seemed to lose its target and retreated in confusion.
Witnessing this, a look of shock appeared on Luo Chen’s face.
"Automatically drawing in spirit qi!"
"This..."
"According to legends, the original spirit intelligence of the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon was a Fifth Order Spirit Vein that gained sentience, occupying the physical body of an earthen dragon that had died in the spirit vein, thus earning the name of the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon."
"In other words, this remnant soul, in essence, is the consciousness of an ancient Fifth Order Spirit Vein!"
"That’s why just a wisp of remnant soul was able to automatically draw in spirit qi just now."
This revelation made Luo Chen recall the strange phenomenon within the Quicksand Sea.
Tianrang both resented and relentlessly pursued the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul for this reason.
The arrival of the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul in the Quicksand Sea, stealing the spirit qi of a whole day, severely hindered Tianrang’s cultivation.
But if Tianrang could devour this soul, wouldn’t it mean it could also gain a similar supernatural talent?
"If I use a special array to confine this soul within a Third Order, no, a Fourth Order Spirit Vein, could it gradually elevate the spirit vein to the Fifth Order level by leveraging its talent for drawing in the heaven and earth qi?"
Luo Chen’s breathing quickened.
As if envisioning the future, he would no longer have to wander around for a Spiritual Vein Cave Mansion.
This thought was not unfounded.
The scene just witnessed was enough proof!
Moreover, why would the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo go to great lengths to dispatch someone to capture the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul? As a Nascent Soul True Master and the nominal ruler of the Mo Luo Sect, he certainly wasn’t lacking in Fourth Order Spirit Veins.
This suggests that the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo likely had the same motive.
Perhaps, since the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul was once under the control of the Yuan Mo Sect, the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo likely already had a method for utilizing it.
"But in the end, it benefits me!"
Luo Chen laughed heartily.
He carefully stored away the Soul Summoning Banner.
The time had not yet come.
Given his current realm and related knowledge, he was not yet capable of utilizing the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul.
He would keep it for future use!
Others might find it frustrating that this true device couldn’t be used, that medicinal ingredients required time, and that after discovering a treasure’s utility, one’s realm posed a limitation.
But Luo Chen felt no such frustration.
He knew well that an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would never acquire such benefits in the Land of Fallen Demons.
He merely relied on his Fourth Order Wild Beast body, with Han Zhan’s protection, guidance from the local Tai Sui, and a bit of clever effort to achieve these gains.
Essentially, these gains were not befitting of his Golden Core realm.
Merely looking without consuming for a while was quite normal.
In reality, not all the gains had to be shelved.
For instance, those Golden Core cultivators he had killed, Chi Shi Upper Master’s group, or the Golden Core cultivator he encountered in the Blazing Refinement Prison, including Guiling Tongzi—each left behind significant legacies.
The storage bags hanging in the air inside the hut were trophies Luo Chen had casually collected.
These indeed matched the gains suitable for his realm!
No need for Han Zhan to assist him in dispelling the prohibitions; throughout the process of cultivating from the Ninth Layer of Golden Core to Finalization, there would be ample time.
By then, gradually dispelling the prohibitions and assessing the treasures within might even lead to unexpected discoveries.
Furthermore!
The real gains went beyond merely these?
The remade Fire Spirit body!
The Prosperity and Decline True Fire with its True Spirit already taking shape!
And the Lifebound Magic Treasure Primordial Chaos Tripod that devoured the Nameless Grey Light...
Thinking of the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Luo Chen’s joyous mood also gradually cooled, his expression becoming uncertain.
Even now, he still couldn’t activate his Lifebound Magic Treasure!
To say the least, this remained a thorn, a gnawing discomfort for Luo Chen.
His right hand instinctively touched his abdomen, where, deep in the Sea of Qi, the gray miniature Cauldron lay silent.
...
In the days that followed, Luo Chen primarily focused on honing his qi power and consolidating his realm.
However, as he reached the Ninth Layer of Golden Core, the related cultivation essentials could no longer be disregarded.
The final layer of each major realm often vastly differed from the preceding minor realms.
During Qi Refinement, the ninth layer focused on purifying spirit power, enabling qi power to become liquid upon reaching Foundation Establishment.
During Foundation Establishment, the ninth layer involved linking spirit power and divine consciousness, enabling the derivation of qi power and advancement to the Golden Core Period. What seemed like a solid Golden Core, in essence, condensed from droplets of pure, liquefied qi power.
Reaching the Ninth Layer of Golden Core brought about new changes.
This is known as the "Three Treasures Unification of Essence, Qi, and Spirit!"
Integrating blood essence, qi power, and even the divine soul to seamlessly merge together.
At this point, the Golden Core remains the main body, with the fusion of the three elements maintaining their harmonious balance.
If you delve deeply, based on Luo Chen’s feeling, he’s essentially providing the Divine Soul a second dwelling place aside from the Sea of Consciousness.
