Mo Nian's location was in a secret chamber beneath the Mo family's ancestral land. To enter this chamber, one had to pass through thirteen layers of sealing. Even if Old Master Mo Yi brought Long Chen here, he would still have to undergo thorough inspections and only after confirming everything was correct before he could be released.
Clearly, no one dared to be careless about Mo Nian's safety. Mo Nian was not only the grandson of Old Master Mo Yi, but also the hope of the entire Mo Clan—there could be no room for carelessness.
Arriving at the secret chamber, there were more than thirty Tongming Realm experts guarding it. What surprised Long Chen was that there was actually a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert.
"Greetings, Patriarch,"
Old Master Mo Yi quickly bowed to the elder upon seeing him, clearly the current clan leader of the Mo clan.
Long Chen didn't know that the Mo family actually had a powerhouse of this caliber. No wonder Mo Nian had been acting recklessly outside, without a trace of restraint—it was clear he had a powerful expert backing him.
The old man looked kindly and nodded slightly upon seeing Long Chen, chuckling, "Your name, Long Chen, is well known to the old man. Meeting the real person today is truly an honor." "
Senior, you flatter me. Mo Nian and I are like brothers. Now that you say that, I feel deeply ashamed. It's just because there are too many trivial matters; otherwise, I would have come to visit long ago." Long Chen hurriedly said.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Just joking, don't take it too seriously. Go in, Mo Nian is inside." The
Mo family patriarch actually opened the door himself, bringing Long Chen and Old Master Mo Yi inside. The final checkpoint was personally guarded by the patriarch, showing just how much the Mo family valued Mo Nian.
Inside the secret chamber, on a stone couch, Mo Nian sat cross-legged, with a woman beside him—none other than Mo Nian's fiancée, Liu Zongying.
At this moment, Liu Zongying's face was haggard, her eyes slightly red, as if she had just cried. She now appeared frail, no longer showing her usual heroic demeanor.
"Long Chen."
Seeing Long Chen arrive, a look of delight appeared in Liu Zongying's eyes, as if his arrival had made her feel much more at ease.
Long Chen nodded and walked up to Mo Nian. At this moment, Mo Nian's face was dull, devoid of any vitality, like a corpse, looking extremely frightening.
However, Long Chen knew that when he broke through to the Tongming Realm, his body was just a shell; his soul had already entered the Netherworld. To put it plainly, Mo Nian was indeed dead now.
"Long Chen, you have to help Mo Nian, he ...." At this point, Liu Zongying bit her lip, tears welling up and she couldn't continue.
Although she was usually extremely harsh toward Mo Nian, her feelings for him were extremely focused. During this time, Mo Nian hadn't woken up; she felt as if the sky was falling, and there was no hope in life.
Since entering the Tongming Realm, she had stayed by Mo Nian's side, never leaving for a single step. If Mo Nian didn't wake up, she had no mind to cultivate at all.
"I'll think of a way."
Long Chen nodded, pondered for a moment, then reached out to touch Mo Nian's forehead. This action startled everyone.
The Mo family patriarch hurriedly said, "No, Long Chen, your soul entering Mo Nian's body will also be absorbed into the Underworld. If you enter the underworld a second time, you will be destroyed by the laws. This goes against the heavenly way." Although
the Tianwu Continent knows very little about the underworld, some laws are still known.
Because of Mo Nian's situation, the cultivation world has also experienced this: whenever someone tries to help others through their own power, they all die. Without exception, when breaking through Tongming, no one can cheat.
Liu Zongying immediately regretted it and hurriedly said, "Long Chen, I'm sorry. I said the wrong thing just now. If anything happens to you, Mo Nian will definitely hate me to death when he wakes up." She
regretted asking Long Chen earlier. In fact, her request was just an instinctive act, because in her mind, Long Chen had many ideas and would surely come up with a solution. She hadn't expected Long Chen to do this.
"Everyone, rest assured, I'm not a reckless person. I'll try to get in touch with Mo Nian and see what he's doing. Nothing unexpected will happen." Long Chen signaled them to rest assured, then slowly placed a hand on Mo Nian's forehead.
Old Master Mo Yi watched with his heart pounding. This was too dangerous. If something happened to Long Chen, they really wouldn't be able to explain it to Mo Nian. The three grew anxious, feeling both anticipation and unease, holding their breath for a moment.
Long Chen's soul power slowly surged into Mo Nian's brow. At this moment, Mo Nian's sea of consciousness was empty and deathly silent.
Long Chen carefully entered Mo Nian's soul space with his soul power. At this moment, Long Chen was also a bit nervous. This was extremely risky. If his soul were absorbed into the Netherworld, he would no longer meet the conditions for breaking through to the Netherworld and would be destroyed by the laws of the entire Netherworld. No matter how strong he was, he could not contend with the laws of the Netherworld.
Long Chen's soul slowly surged into Mo Nian's soul sea, fully controlling his soul fluctuations to avoid disturbing the core area of Mo Nian's sea of consciousness.
Because in the core area of Mo Nian's sea of consciousness, there was a dark yellow orb—this was where Mo Nian's soul essence resided, and this place was also called Mud Pellet.
Almost everyone has this item, but Long Chen does not. This is where the human soul condenses, somewhat like a magical beast's crystal core. If Long Chen's soul power fluctuates too greatly and activates this mud pellet, it is equivalent to Long Chen occupying this body. In that instant, his soul will be absorbed into the underworld.
What Long Chen needed to do now was to control Mo Nian's body without disturbing his mud pellet. This was an extremely demanding level of controlling a person's soul power, almost impossible to achieve.
Before coming here, Long Chen had already thought of this plan. He was extremely confident in his soul power, but since it concerned his own life, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. Still, for Mo Nian, he was willing to take the risk.
For safety, Long Chen always kept a portion of his soul power within his body. If anything went wrong, he might still have a chance to draw his soul back.
"Wow, I didn't expect this guy's soul power to be so strong. I've already injected forty percent of it. If it exceeds fifty, I can't withdraw it." Long Chen was secretly alarmed.
He had originally thought Mo Nian's soul power wasn't strong, and that as long as his soul power was below half, Long Chen could control the initiative. But now, realizing Mo Nian's soul power was so strong, if he continued, Long Chen would be unable to control it. Once he activated the Mud Pill, he would be finished.
"What a loser,"
Long Chen cursed inwardly. Who would have thought, this guy, who usually keeps a low profile, could have such terrifying soul power? If he didn't fill his soul sea, he couldn't control his body.
Long Chen gritted his teeth and continued to infuse soul power. His heart was pounding in his throat, afraid that he might accidentally activate Mo Nian's mud pellet.
When Long Chen infused about sixty percent of his soul power, Mo Nian's body trembled slightly, and Long Chen immediately stopped moving.
"Finally done,"
Long Chen let out a long breath. Without activating the Mo Nian Mud Pill, Long Chen could now control Mo Nian's body. His divine sense slowly entered Mo Nian's dantian, where a huge star appeared.
That was Mo Nian's star space. After entering Mo Nian's star space, Long Chen searched around but found no five Yang Hunting Bows. A glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Clearly, Mo Nian's bows had also been brought into the Underworld.
It seems that Long Chen is not the only one capable of bringing objects in. Long Chen transmitted to Dragonbone Xie Yue, "Xie Yue, can I use you as a medium?"Come contact Mo Nian? "
Why use me?" The laws of the Underworld aren't very suitable for me. You can use Ling'er. She's the Demon Furnace, she's more skilled at it, and she carries the aura of the Underworld. Among the materials used to refine her, there must be those from the Underworld, making her the most suitable. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
Long Chen immediately communicated with Ling'er, who agreed immediately. With a thought, Long Chen used his soul to send the Demon Moon Furnace into Mo Nian's star space.
"Buzz"
"Buzz" "Buzz!"
After entering Mo Nian's star space, the Demon Moon Furnace trembled rhythmically, but after a long while, there was still no movement.
Long Chen did not give up. The Yaoyue Furnace kept vibrating at a unique frequency. After an unknown amount of time, a divine sense came from the Demon Moon Furnace:
"Brother Long Chen, a fluctuation is about to summon me. Should I go out?"
Long Chen was overjoyed: "Not yet. Continue to maintain contact with that divine sense and transmit my soul fluctuations outward." Long
Chen knew that Mo Nian had finally responded. This was Mo Nian's star space, connected to Mo Nian's soul. Long Chen had deliberately drawn Mo Nian's attention through the fluctuations of the Demon Moon Furnace. Now that Mo Nian had finally noticed, this was a good thing—it meant Mo Nian was still alive.
"Ling'er, in a moment I'll attach all my soul to you. Mo Nian will summon you out, and you take me there." Long Chen said.
"Alright," Ling'er replied obediently.
"Xieyue, keep a trace of my soul. When we return to the silent star space, if I don't have the ability to come back, I'll need your help." Long Chen reminded Longgu Xie Yue.
If anything unexpected happens and Long Chen can't get out or return, that would be a real problem. So he had to make sure his escape route was prepared.
"Don't worry." Dragonbone Xie Yue said, seemingly quite familiar with this situation.
"Please,"
Long Chen said, pouring all his soul power into the Demon Moon Furnace. In that instant, Long Chen's aura vanished.
"Long Chen!"
Old Master Mo Yi, the Mo family patriarch, and Liu Zongying all cried out in alarm. They had no idea what had happened, but suddenly realized Long Chen's life force had vanished. For a moment, the three of them turned pale as paper, thinking Long Chen had something had happened.
"You don't need to worry. Long Chen went to the Underworld to find Mo Nian. Don't worry about his safety." At that moment, the cold voice of the Dragon Bone Evil Moon rang out, invigorating the three of them. They had nearly been scared to death just now.
...
Long Chen's soul was wrapped in the Demon Moon Furnace, and with a divine will summoned, he appeared in a world of darkness.
"Long Chen, is that you?" At that moment, in the darkness, Mo Nian's voice rang out, full of surprise and anticipation.
"If not me, then what could it be? What the hell are you doing? Why aren't you going back?" Long Chen replied irritably. The lid of the Demon Moon Furnace slowly opened. He felt no danger and finally emerged.
When Long Chen saw Mo Nian, he was startled: "Who injured you like this?" "
