Chapter 2102: Chapter 772: Chi Xiao Qi, Sunrise Beast, Mingyuan Cultivator, Lei Daozi
"Black King, you must protect them for me!"
A month later, Luo Chen said these words.
With a shake of his left arm, a miniature dragon fell to the ground.
Rubbing his arm, Luo Chen looked slightly helpless: "Next time, don’t cling to my hand."
The Black King looked a bit aggrieved.
Somehow, after transitioning to the Savage Beast path and advancing to the Fourth Order, he felt increasingly close to Luo Chen.
Don’t even mention the Primordial Chaos Tripod; he didn’t even want to stay in the Spirit Beast Bag.
He only wanted to shrink his size and stick close to Luo Chen.
As if just breathing in the aura emanating from Luo Chen’s body would benefit his cultivation.
At this moment, he curiously looked at Luo Chen.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Up there!"
Luo Chen pointed to the canopy of the carriage, but he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he used his magic power to inscribe prohibitions on the carriage.
Layer after layer of prohibitions fell, interweaving and connecting to form a complete Fourth-order Array.
This formation was a variant of the Great Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Teleportation Array, which couldn’t teleport directly but could locate.
Luo Chen wasn’t sure how long he would stay up there after going.
But the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot could not stop; it needed to continue moving forward. To prevent losing the target at that time, a "coordinate" needed to be left behind.
Once the last prohibition was in place, Luo Chen wiped his hand, and the splendorous glow converged.
"Protect them well, I’m off!"
With these words, Luo Chen quietly left the carriage without drawing anyone’s attention.
Before leaving, he glanced at the scene on the carriage.
Zhang Jingqing stood at the front of the flying chariot, the breeze lifting his hair, his expression somewhat lonely.
Tian Xuan was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breath to restore his Qi power.
Sang Jinghe inputted Qi power into the array core of the carriage, using the surrounding Spirit Stones to drive the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot forward rapidly. But in his other hand, he held a brand-new book, occasionally reading a section. It was one of the many texts related to Spirit Plants he had extracted from Zhongzhou.
"Truly studious!"
Luo Chen chuckled, as his Nascent Soul resonated with the heavens and earth, commanding a stream of free Spirit Qi to lift him swiftly upward.
The place he intended to go was called the Nine Heavens!
Nine Heavens, the pinnacle of the sky!
Simply put, it was the highest point in this world, also called Nine Heavens, Azure Darkness, and so on.
Rumor had it that it was sparsely populated, with few living beings.
But it wasn’t empty; some special creatures were there, and unpredictable precious items might be suspended in the air.
What Luo Chen sought in going to the Nine Heavens was the Spirit Essence he needed for cultivating the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture."
Whoosh!
A figure shot upward like an arrow released from a bow.
Bursting through clouds and fog, the wind howled and rain rushed.
Over the vast sea, anyone with vision comparable to Luo Chen’s might see a meteor ascending against the current.
But in the blink of an eye, the figure vanished completely, disappearing into Azure Darkness.
With Luo Chen’s current speed, a distance of ten thousand miles could be reached in moments.
Yet, for some reason, as Luo Chen flew ten thousand miles high, his speed involuntarily slowed.
"Is the controllable free Spirit Qi thinning?"
Luo Chen’s speed slightly slackened, and he paused to observe his surroundings.
He roughly arrived at this conclusion.
Yet it wasn’t just that; he could feel that breathing became mildly more labored.
But this had no effect on him.
He opened his mouth wide, his chest and abdomen contracting.
"Huff..."
The prolonged breath caused Luo Chen’s chest and abdomen to inflate.
Suddenly he closed his mouth, his chest returning to its original state.
But a quantity of air enough to sustain Luo Chen’s breathing for at least three years was inhaled into his abdomen.
"The Qi Inhale Method learned in my youth is still just as useful!"
Luo Chen’s lips curved slightly upward, his gaze fixed skyward.
Ten thousand miles was by no means the limit of this world.
Beyond that was the Nine Heavens!
Luo Chen unleashed his magic power, transforming into a fiery cloud that lifted him higher like an arrow from a bow.
After the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators seldom rode the clouds.
Because riding the clouds typically consumed their own Qi power, for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who could control free Spirit Qi of similar attributes, it made sense to save energy by using slower Spirit Qi lifting techniques.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, the non-consumptive Cloudless Flying is also, like the Nascent Soul Domain, another hallmark of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
With the Magic Cloud’s lift, Luo Chen’s descending speed increased once more.
Ten thousand miles, twenty thousand miles, thirty thousand miles...
The further he went, the greater the pressure Luo Chen felt.
The pressure came not only from above but also from the ground below, thin and unreachable.
"Gravity?"
At sixty thousand miles, Luo Chen found that the pressure had reached the limit for a normal cultivator.
If a Golden Core Cultivator were in this place, they’d likely be exhausted and fall, possibly smashing into pieces if they didn’t react quickly upon landing.
Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators had to muster all their Qi power to continue forward.
"No wonder the resources beyond the Nine Heavens are so rare and precious; just getting up there is beyond countless people. Nascent Soul counterparts wishing to go up will find their magic power greatly depleted. But this cannot stop me!"
Luo Chen chuckled softly and dispelled the Magic Cloud!
Moreover, even the Mana Shield enveloping him was dispelled together.
Then...
Whoosh!
A pair of red wings suddenly unfolded behind him!
It was none other than the Breaking Moon Wings that had been dormant since Luo Chen’s Nascent Soul Formation!
This magic item was custom-crafted for Luo Chen by an expert from Tian Fan City and originally only Lower Grade.
But after a hundred years of nurturing and undergoing the Thunder Tribulation together with Luo Chen at his Nascent Soul Formation,
although it couldn’t break through to True Device status due to its material limitations, it still reached Ascendant Grade.
