Chapter 2105: Chapter 773: The Sun Rises in the East, Luo Chen of Star Gate
Above the vast ocean, a figure descended like a meteor, straight downwards.
Upon reaching the water’s surface, he suddenly stopped, creating layers of waves.
"This realm still needs refining, the control of Qi Power is so coarse, it’s absolutely not my usual style."
The Daoist muttered a sentence, discerned the direction, and went eastward without hesitation.
Soon, a magnificent carriage appeared in sight.
Luo Chen took a few strides and gracefully landed on the deck of the carriage.
"True Master?"
Standing on the Flying Boat, Zhang Jingqing noticed Luo Chen’s figure immediately but was uncertain, so she greeted him cautiously.
Luo Chen nodded and, as he passed by, smiled gently: "Your Cultivation Level has made progress; it seems you haven’t been negligent recently!"
Zhang Jingqing was pleased with the praise, but humbly said: "It’s all thanks to Uncle Long."
The Uncle Long she referred to was the Black King.
And she said this for a reason.
When the Black King normally cultivates and nourishes, it attracts a large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi to gather in one place, creating a concentration of Spirit Qi comparable to a Third-Order Lower Grade Cave Mansion environment.
This is why Luo Chen disliked the Black King clinging to him, yet didn’t refuse him.
That fellow, ever since devouring the soul of the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon, is like a Gathering Spirit Device!
He can attract a bunch of roaming Spirit Qi anytime, anywhere.
But it’s clear that the Black King cannot fully exert his talent and cannot conjure a Fourth-Order spirit environment out of thin air like the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon.
He still needs the assistance of Earth Qi Spirit Vein!
If a quality Spirit Vein could be arranged for the Black King, this talent would be fully manifested!
Luo Chen continued forward, and both Tian Xuan and Sang Jinghe came out upon hearing the commotion.
Seeing that it was Luo Chen, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, you’re back!"
"Greetings, True Master!"
Luo Chen waved his hand and seeing everyone was safe and sound, felt slightly relieved.
"In these six months, has anything occurred?"
Tian Xuan shook his head, "Nothing major, came across some Immortal Cultivators on the way, but with the identity tag of Guest Elder of Star Gate you left, they didn’t really trouble us."
"Hmm, very good, let’s proceed!"
Luo Chen gave a command and hurried into the interior of the carriage.
The Black King, curled up on the floor pretending to sleep, instantly awoke upon sensing Luo Chen’s breath.
"You keep sleeping."
Luo Chen left these words and paid no attention to Black King.
The latter, rather thick-skinned, miniaturized and drifted along, though didn’t dare climb onto Luo Chen’s arms, yet crawled at his feet.
This way, he seemed to sleep more soundly!
But in less than two months, the Black King suddenly awoke from his dream like exploding fur.
He opened his eyes and looked up.
Luo Chen, clad in white, was sitting cross-legged on the couch, a Blood Sword brimming with killing intent across his knees.
Strands of crimson Sword Qi, like a Spiritual Snake spitting, continuously puffed and swallowed on the Blood Sword.
It was this Sword Qi that caused him a stabbing sensation!
The Black King swallowed his saliva, uncertainly in his heart, "Is the master cultivating some strong Secret Technique again?"
After following Luo Chen all these years, he had seen Luo Chen practice new Secret Techniques many times.
Oftentimes, he even used him for practice.
But this time, the Black King was inwardly praying not to be used for practice.
That sword itself was terrifying, and now he didn’t know what ghostly thing had been added to it, just getting close made his body prickly, if it fell on him, he’d be lucky not to need his Indestructible Body talent.
Fortunately for Black King, Luo Chen didn’t look at him at all, just focused on the Blood Sword before his knees.
Sigh of relief.
"Finally a Beginner!"
He never thought that entering this Sword Scripture would be so difficult.
Clearly, he had long practiced "Wind-Calming Wave", possessing a wise mind to chop away distractions with a sword, and had even stimulated Sword Light in Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.
Logically, entering "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture" shouldn’t be that hard.
But against all odds, when he tried to refine the Chi Xiao Qi into the Yuan Tu Sword, an unexpected situation occurred.
The long-dormant, unknown Sword Spirit within the sword instinctively resisted the Chi Xiao Qi.
This was a troublesome issue.
To enter "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture", one must find a carrier to refine Sky Qi, whether a Sword Pill or Flying Sword.
Luo Chen had intended the Yuan Tu Sword, but it resists exceptionally!
Having no choice, Luo Chen no longer insisted on self-entry, but utilized Achievement Points accumulated over the years to force entry.
In this way, after entering the Sword Scripture, he recognized his error.
This sword inherently possessed a Sword Spirit, yet he had no Sword Consciousness to communicate with it; forcibly refining Chi Xiao Qi into it would harm the Sword Spirit’s Spirituality.
This is why entering earlier was so difficult.
Once aware of this reason, resolving it wasn’t hard.
Unable to break the Yuan Tu Sword’s Third Seal and refine that Sword Spirit, he simply laid three more prohibitions outside the Third Seal!
One was the Source Blood Restriction, one Mana Prohibition, and finally a Divine Soul Restriction.
Threefold insurance, threefold separation, finally the Sword Spirit no longer resisted the Chi Xiao Qi.
Luo Chen then steadily incorporated a stream of Chi Xiao Qi into the sword body.
At this moment, staring at the Blood Sword pulsing with Sword Qi, Luo Chen fell into contemplation.
"Chi Xiao Sword Qi needs to be nurtured day and night to be fully at one’s command."
"According to the Sword Scripture, nurturing in the Purple Mansion is best!"
"But this sword inherently has a spirit, and the Sword Spirit doesn’t submit to me like the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit. If placed inside the Purple Mansion, should anything happen, it’d be too dangerous."
