"Why is that?" Long Chen was stunned.
"The Way of the Sword is not contained within the Heavenly Dao, or rather... It stands apart from the Heavenly Dao, or can also be said to surpass it.
So, even if he came, there was no law to refer to or practice with, and coming was for nothing. Ling Xi explained.
"Could you explain this more clearly?" Long Chen probed, "The way of the sword surpasses the Heavenly Dao." This was a saying Long Chen had heard of, but he didn't know the specifics.
"I'm not entirely sure about that either. All I know is that the Way of Swords is not included within the Heavenly Dao.
In my inherited memories, there is a vague recollection that the sword path is independent of the heavenly way, seemingly related to the Sword God.
But I have no memory of the Sword God at all; perhaps this is some kind of taboo. Lingxi hesitated for a moment and said, seemingly uncertain either, not daring to speak recklessly to avoid misleading Long Chen.
"Can I cultivate here?" Long Chen asked.
Ling Xi smiled faintly, looked at Long Chen, but said nothing.
Lingxi felt guilty watching Long Chen's heart. Lingxi truly deserved to be the mother goddess of the Luoling Clan. She wasn't good at dealing with people, but that didn't mean she was easy to fool. Anything related to the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique would never be slipped out.
Long Chen gave an awkward smile: "Well, I think I can cultivate. Hmm, I think I definitely can." Lingxi
smiled and said, "I think that's fine too." Alright
, both understood without words. Long Chen completely gave up on trying to get Lingxi to talk. After all, he had lived countless years, and his little schemes couldn't win against her.
"Clang...
A pleasant zither sound echoed
from afar, resonating in the sky. Dressed in white, Zi Yan sat cross-legged in the void like a fairy. As the seven-stringed Sea-Calming Zither vibrated, ripples rippled through the void.
When the zither sounded, it actually harmonized with the heavenly way. At this moment, the music was the sound of heaven. Ziyan was using the zither to communicate with the heavenly way, and the whole world was immersed in the wonderful music.
Long Chen admired in his heart. The Qin Fairy was like a fairy descending from the ninth heaven to earth. Her music was spotless, pure and noble. Hearing it, it cleansed the entire soul. That wonderful feeling was beyond words.
Long Chen took a deep breath and struggled out from the music. Everyone was cultivating, and he couldn't just sit idle.
Long Chen walked forward, and soon sensed a barrier in the space ahead. At first, the resistance to this barrier wasn't strong, but the further he went, the greater the pressure.
As Long Chen moved forward, countless thunderous sounds echoed in his ears, and endless power roared past him, as if he were immersed in a torrent.
"Buzz!"
Flames shot skyward, thunder flashed in countless directions, and the fire dragon and thunder dragon flew out on their own without needing Long Chen's summons.
As soon as they emerged, the void trembled as endless fire and thunder runes converged toward them.
Whether it was thunder runes or fire runes, they were all colorful and varied in shape, each representing a kind of law.
"Brother Long Chen, this place can help me quickly recover my energy." Huo Ling'er transmitted to Long Chen, her voice full of excitement.
Previously, she had teamed up with Long Chen to unleash the Nine-Star World-Destroying Fire Lotus, which drained almost all her strength and left her severely weakened.
Now, within the laws of the Heavenly Dao here, countless flame powers were contained, each one different, making them truly a great tonic for her.
The thunder dragon was no exception. Countless bolts of lightning roared around it, absorbing the thunder power here to its fullest, and it was equally thrilled.
"Huo Ling'er, while you're recovering, take the Rongyue Refining Star Furnace with you, and help me refine more pills while you're at it." Long Chen said as he handed the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace to the fire dragon. Without the dragon, it could no longer refine pills on its own.
If he relied solely on his own origin fire to refine pills, he wouldn't be able to refine much. The Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace would have to rest, wasting too much time. Long Chen was preparing to continue his breakthrough.
The six-star battle body had already been successfully condensed, but to master its power, one needed a stronger realm; otherwise, having infinite strength and not being able to use it would be pointless.
"Take me along too."
The Demon Moon Furnace actually flew out on its own, wanting to be with the fire dragon, so Long Chen had no choice but to let it be.
During this period, the Fire Dragon had been cooperating with the Rongyue Star Refining Furnace to refine the Nether Gate Pill. The Demon Moon Furnace was so anxious it was about to go crazy. Now that Long Chen was about to refine the Advancement Pill, it could also refine it, so it immediately ran out.
The fire dragon and thunder dragon coiled above the void, their firelight and lightning shining together, radiating a terrifying pressure. The fire dragon devoured all fires, while the thunder dragon absorbed various thunderous powers.
The flames and thunder here were all laws from the Star Domain Divine Realm. After watching for a while, Long Chen couldn't help but frown.
"Lingxi, why isn't the thunder power here as strong as on the Tianwu Continent?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Because the Tianwu Continent is the core of the star region, your thunder dragon is the form of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, the strongest thunder in one region.
As for the Star Domain Divine Realm, it is only a corner of the star domain, and still an incomplete one. The Heavenly Punishment, representing the will of the Heavenly Dao, has already collapsed. The remaining thunder can only make your thunder dragon grow a bit, but it cannot break through its shackles. Ling Xi explained.
Long Chen nodded. He had also heard of the term 'Star Domain Core'—it was Ming Cangyue who had mentioned it before. She had said that the Tianwu Continent held great secrets.
Long Chen half understood Ling Xi's explanation, but didn't press further, lest she refuse to speak and that would be awkward.
Long Chen looked at the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon and said, "It seems my opportunity is gone here. No, I have my opportunity..."
Long Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Ling Xi, "Ling Xi, could you give me a section of the branch?" "
Of course you can. Don't even mention branches—even the toughest wood hearts are fine for you." Lingxi said.
"No, no, just a branch will do." Long Chen realized Lingxi had misunderstood and thought he wanted the branches as weapons.
Ling Xi looked suspicious, tore off a strand of hair, and handed it to Long Chen. When the strand of black hair fell into Long Chen's grasp, it transformed into a wooden stick as thick as a thumb and over three feet long.
The wooden stick was entirely emerald green and extremely heavy to the touch—much heavier than ordinary divine weapons, radiating vibrant vitality.
Long Chen thanked him and carefully planted the branch into the chaotic space. But once the branch entered, its vitality quickly scattered, quickly withering, then turning into a pile of dust that scattered into the soil.
"This ..."
Long Chen was stunned. How could this happen? Long Chen confirmed he hadn't buried it wrong—he had buried yellow earth, not black soil. How could it have withered so quickly?
"What?" Seeing Long Chen's dazed expression, Ling Xi asked.
Long Chen had no choice but to tell Lingxi that he had a mysterious land where he could grow any spiritual herb, but Lingxi's branches couldn't be planted there.
Lingxi smiled and said, "Every part of the mother tree has been blessed by the Luoling Clan. The mother tree is the embodiment of their faith."
where the mother tree residesIts strength is nourished by the faith power of the Luoling Clan. In other words, the power of the Mother Tree can only be unleashed under the blessing of the Luoling Clan.
The branches I gave you are only useful within the range of the power of the Star Domain Divine Realm Mother Tree. If you go elsewhere, without the support of faith, your divinity will quickly fade.
The Mother Tree and I are both manifestations of the Luoling Clan's faith. Without the Luoling Clan, there would be no us; without us, there would be no Luoling Clan. We survive by relying on each other. Hearing
Ling Xi's explanation, Long Chen was instantly as if pouring cold water over a pipe of cold water. All his previous fantasies were shattered. It seemed he had to honestly cultivate those demon trees of his own.
"Alright, I've given up. By the way, Lingxi, where is there a place here? There are a lot of evil creatures.
I need a large number of corpses to help me with an important task. "Long Chen asked. The urgent task now is to quickly revive the Tianlin Demon Tree in the chaotic space—this is his way to survive."
Without those Tianlin tree demons, Long Chen wouldn't even qualify to operate a six-star battle body, nor would he have a steady flow of life force to repair his body, making it impossible to fight.
"There are many evil creatures—the Poison Dragon Abyss, Scorpion Canyon, the edge of the Dark River, and a passage from another world where countless ferocious beasts from another world are gathering.
They are struggling to adapt to the laws after the Star Domain Divine Realm war, striving to dominate the Star Domain Divine Realm. These are all enemies of our Luoling Clan. When the Star Domain Divine Realm was still intact, they fought against us for countless years.
If it weren't for the King of the Spirit Dragon Clan helping us, we probably wouldn't have survived long ago. If you want the corpse, I can gather my people to fight right now." Ling Xi said, without a hint of hesitation regarding Long Chen's request.
Long Chen waved his hand and said, "The Luoling Clan has just gone through a major battle, suffering heavy losses and hasn't fully settled down yet. It's not suitable for large-scale combat now."
Moreover, whether it's the Luoling Clan or my own people, they need some time to recuperate and recover. "
So what should we do? The Mother Tree and I can only assist the Luoling tribe; we can't fight on our own. Lingxi looked a bit troubled; she wasn't a combat-type powerhouse.
Long Chen smiled, "Sometimes solving problems doesn't have to rely solely on force. Sometimes you can take shortcuts, which can save a lot of manpower and resources."
By the way, your vision covers the entire Star Domain Divine Realm. Can you help me find Ye Ming and the others? They tricked me once, and I want to trick them too. "
That's not possible for now. With the mother tree's current power, my vision can only see the outlines of various places, but I can't pinpoint people." Lingxi said apologetically.
"Oh, then forget it. Consider them lucky. I don't have time to set them up. Tell me the details of the three places."
Including the weaknesses, strengths, and habits of these creatures, I study a battle plan. Long Chen felt a bit regretful. After being led by Ye Ming by the nose for so long, if he didn't scheme against him once, it would be a huge loss.
But there was no other way. Ye Ming was now left with nothing, and searching for him in such a vast place as the Star Domain Divine Realm was like looking for a needle in a haystack—Long Chen didn't have the time or energy.
After obtaining detailed information on the three locations, Long Chen descended from the mother tree and ordered all disciples of the Dragon Blood Legion, the Tianwu Alliance, and the Xuan Beast Clan to assemble.
At this point, with Lingxi's help, everyone had healed and regained their spirits. Long Chen drove them all to the mother tree to cultivate, leaving only Guo Ran, Yue Zifeng, and A Man behind.
"Come on, I'll take you to a feast."
Long Chen and his group of four quietly left the mother tree.
