"Retreat!"
Long Chen and Xia Chen shouted almost simultaneously. Without even bothering to collect the immortal gold, they quickly retreated. Once outside the barrier's repulsive range, Xia Chen immediately put away the formation disk.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, a terrifying undercurrent erupted from within the barrier. Long Chen and Xia Chen were involuntarily pushed by the current, rapidly flying outward.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Xia
Chen repeatedly summoned talismans to reinforce his defenses, feeling as if he was about to be crushed.
The two were pushed by terrifying undercurrents as they rushed through when suddenly a loud crash rang out, and Ye Ling and Ye Xue's startled cries echoed in their ears.
Ye Ling and Ye Xue guarded the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit, but there was no sign of movement. Suddenly, the water level of the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit dropped rapidly, then sprayed out at high speed, and then Long Chen and Xia Chen flew out.
"Boom boom boom... Immediately
after, one stone after another was sprayed out, crashing hard onto the ground.
"Oh my god, what is this?"
Under the shocked gazes of Ye Ling and Ye Xue, Guo Ran, who had previously returned due to exhaustion and diving weakly, now had his eyes bulging out.
When Guo Ran saw these natural immortal golds, he kept shouting and shouting, while Long Chen immediately ran to the Mysterious Spirit Eye.
At this moment, the Eye of the Mystic Spirit returned to its smooth, mirror-like appearance, but when Long Chen stood on it, he found the water surface had already become semi-solid, making it impossible for one to enter.
Not only that, but the chaotic energy that had been continuously pouring out from the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit before also disappeared. At that moment, Long Chen was startled.
If the Eye of the Mystic Spirit were to be closed from now on, the Xuanling Realm would be doomed. If the Xuanling Realm were free of chaotic energy just for a few pieces of immortal gold, it would be a huge blow to the Earth Spirit Clan.
At this moment, Ye Ling and Ye Xue's expressions also changed. They too arrived at the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit, as if standing on the surface of ice.
Fortunately, after a while, the surface of the Eye of the Profound Spirit began to soften again. His hand could reach several inches inside, and the chaotic energy began to slowly rise again.
Seeing this, Long Chen finally relaxed. This meant that the Eye of the Profound Spirit had not been destroyed by them.
Long Chen was sweating from fear. If the Mysterious Spirit Eye was destroyed, he would never be at peace for the rest of his life.
An hour passed, and the Eye of the Profound Spirit could dive again, but the distance was only a few zhang. To dive back underwater, who knows how long it would take.
Thinking about the stone being from the world opposite the Xuanling Eye still waiting for them, it was likely that the stone being was also completely baffled, not knowing what had happened earlier.
Next time he went over, he wondered if it was still there. Long Chen sighed inwardly and returned to the Eye of the Mysterious Spirit with a complicated heart.
After coming up, Long Chen found Guo Ran holding the immortal gold and talking to himself, as if he had gone mad, while Xia Chen had spread countless array disks across the ground, checking each one to check for any damage.
Fortunately, he was quick to collect at the time, losing only a few hundred array disks; the rest were intact. If he had been even a little slower, all these disks would have been shattered, and he would have cried.
"Boss, this is the largest piece of immortal gold. Let me help you forge a weapon!" Just then, Guo Ran ran over excitedly and said.
Hearing Guo Ran's words, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. Ever since the Minghong Blade shattered, he hadn't had any weapons at his disposal.
He didn't even bother to study the Nine Heaven-Opening Techniques; ordinary weapons simply couldn't bear the terrifying power of the stars.
If he had a handy divine weapon, his combat power would definitely have reached a new level. Back when he fought fiercely against the Nether Dragon Amaterasu and had a powerful divine weapon, winning would have been much easier.
When Long Chen heard that Guo Ran wanted to forge a divine weapon, a pitch-black, ferocious divine weapon immediately flashed through Long Chen's mind. Thinking of it, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
He sighed and said, "If we can refine these immortal metals, we'll arm the brothers first. I don't need any weapons right now." "
Alright, I'll study it first. I can sharpen your weapons anew." Guo Ran chuckled. This carefree guy didn't notice Long Chen's change in mood at all.
After receiving the cash, Guo Ran directly pulled Xia Chen away, and the two of them went together to study how to refine this Saint-grade immortal gold.
Now, the two had just obtained a large amount of powerful blood essence, including saints' essence blood and runes. Now, with saint-level immortal materials, they suddenly had vast opportunities for development.
Ye Xue and Ye Ling also returned to the clan and began directing the clan to mine the spirit stones here. They knew Long Chen needed these stones, and since they had nothing to give him, they could only express their gratitude to Long Chen and the others in this way.
Long Chen guarded the Eye of the Mystic Spirit for a day and night, but in the end, it could only dive a few dozen zhang. At this rate, Long Chen was completely discouraged. At this rate, it was unlikely he would be able to dive to the other side again in the coming months.
The matter of the Mysterious Spirit Eye could only be set aside for now. Long Chen returned to the ancestral land of the Earth Spirit Clan, where immortal energy was already rising. From the massive sacred tree, countless rays of immortal light hung down, and the Dragon Blood warriors were closing their eyes to cultivate.
When he saw the cultivation level of the Dragonblood Warriors, Long Chen was startled. In just a few days, most had already reached the ninth level of the Realm King, while only a few remained at the eighth level.
Bai Shishi, Yu Qingxuan, and the others were surrounded by spiritual radiance, sacred energy rising, and the myriad paths of heaven and earth pulsed rhythmically, perfectly matching the rhythm of everyone's breathing and breathing. Everyone entered a state of unity between heaven and man.
In that instant, Long Chen understood. No wonder their cultivation had advanced so rapidly—it was because the Sacred Tree was helping them. Otherwise, even with the support of pills, their advancement wouldn't have been so fast.
"It's rare to have no unnecessary troubles; this is the perfect opportunity to advance your realm."
Long Chen had been troubled by various trivial matters and hadn't cultivated quietly for a long time. It was rare for no one to disturb him here, so he took out a Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Boom!"
The medicinal power of the Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill erupted inside Long Chen. In that instant, his body suddenly trembled, and a gentle force lifted him up, sending him flying high into the air.
It was the Sacred Tree, which led him up to the canopy. There, Long Chen saw the stars twinkling across the heavens, and the entire canopy was filled with immortal spiritual energy, surging toward him.
"Thank you,"
Long Chen hurriedly thanked the Sacred Tree. It was helping him cultivate. While absorbing pills, Long Chen also needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Normally, he needed to summon a divine ring, but now that the Sacred Tree was helping, he didn't need to.
Endless leaves were like spirit-gathering arrays. Without enemy interference, they could draw the entire power of the Xuanling Realm and bless Long Chen.
"Buzz"—
billions of divine lights enveloped Long Chen. As endless spiritual energy poured into his body, it merged with the medicinal power of the Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill within him, wildly boosting his aura. As soon as it entered, the pill's power was released almost instantly.
Long Chen was both surprised and delighted. With the Sacred Tree helping him absorb the medicinal power, it became incredibly easy. However, the medicinal power of this pill did not send him to the Seventh Heaven.
Clearly, he had entered the Realm KingLater, the medicinal power consumed grew even more terrifying, and Long Chen gritted his teeth.
"Whoosh."
In one breath, he swallowed the remaining Holy Light Snow Lotus Pills one after another, all into his mouth.
The pill entered his body, and its power surged like a flood to Long Chen's limbs and bones, but the bottleneck at the seventh heaven level was exceptionally firm.
It wasn't until the last Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill released its power that Long Chen's shackles were finally broken. With a thunderous explosion, a violent force erupted from within him, sending a violent force soaring to the sky.
After entering the Seventh Heaven, Long Chen clearly felt his body had grown much stronger again, and the affinity of the stars in the heavens had increased. The Seventh Heaven marked a watershed from mid to late Realm King.
"Senior, are you free? It's time for us to refine pills. Long
Chen called out to the Qiankun Cauldron. This time, he was determined to ascend to the peak of Realm King in one go.
