Chapter 537 Han Zhan Bows His Head, and Has the Confidence to Conquer the Sea of Demons
The gray cauldron was a hazy aura.
Nine fire dragons that exuded the aura of swallowing everything stared at a space in the cauldron.
Not only that, Luo Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was even more like a formidable enemy. He was full of magic power, and his right hand was covered with green flames, as if he could strike a shocking blow at any time.
Outside his sea of consciousness, a black chess piece emitted a hazy black halo, tightly wrapping his sea of consciousness.
Staring at the Hunyuan Cauldron, his eyes were shining, and the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water rose and fell one after another, and the light and shadow flickered.
Before the wind rose, the sleeves of his clothes were already rustling.
Such a scene really responded to the "such a battle" of the old voice in the cauldron!
It can be imagined how terrifying it would be if Luo Chen suddenly attacked.
Especially!
His pre-set enemy, Han Zhan, was in the space where his life-defining magic weapon was imprisoned.
The right time, right place, and right people all depend on Luo Chen. Even though Han Zhan was a Yuanying Zhenren before, he had to bow his head at this moment.
Hearing Han Zhan's bitter smile, Luo Chen did not relax his vigilance.
Or rather, when dealing with any Yuanying Zhenren, one must never relax his vigilance.
He responded calmly: "It's not that Luo is making a fuss, but I have no choice. Please forgive me, Senior Han."
There was a moment of silence in the cauldron.
Then there was a helpless voice.
"I can understand."
Yes, the current situation of the two is completely different from when they started the war.
But Luo Chen did not have absolute suppression in terms of realm.
In this case, no matter how careful he is, it is justified.
If it were Han Zhan himself, I'm afraid he would be the same.
He even praised the other party's caution.
Han Zhan sighed, and his tone seemed to become calm.
"I am now only a remnant soul. Even if I don't mention that I am powerless, my potential is really limited. After escaping from the dead, you didn't kill me on the spot to eliminate future troubles. You have shown your true nature."
"So, how are you going to deal with me now?"
How to deal with?
This time, the silent person was replaced by Luo Chen.
Luo Chen had mixed feelings about Han Zhan.
This is a legendary figure who has been lingering in his ears since he crossed over.
The most outstanding genius in the history of Yuding Domain, his cultivation speed is fast and his combat power is outstanding, even higher than Ren Pingsheng, the first Jindan of Jianzong.
However, when he was about 200 years old, he relied on his powerful strength to make Cheng Yan of Luoyun Sect take the initiative to abdicate and let him be promoted to the Supreme of a sect!
After that, when he was more than 300 years old, he quietly condensed his Nascent Soul, achieved the great cause of the cultivator, and stepped into the realm of the real person.
He and he had no intersection.
But because of a kind thought, he saved his grandson Han Zheng, and thus fell into the eyes of the opponent.
During that time, although they had never met, the other party also showed him many goodwill because of this matter.
Whether it was the battle of Fenxiang Valley that destroyed the Yan League, or when Qu Xibai of Luoyun Sect took the initiative to open the spiritual veins and magic ban of Tianlan Fairy City when he was in the stage of forming the elixir, the goodwill shown by the other party could be seen.
After the outbreak of the war of opening up, there was also an act of the other party personally helping Luo Chen.
It was also such things that made him have a very good impression of Han Zhan, even though there was a give and take, and Luo Chen asked himself that he did not owe the other party anything.
So, when Han Zhan was dying, he did not take advantage of the fire and add insult to injury.
But now?
If the other party was still a high-ranking Yuanying Zhenren, Luo Chen could still communicate with the other party normally.
No other reason, he was used to it!
Luo Chen was too familiar with dealing with superiors in his life.
If the other party fell and Luo Chen rose, the situation between the two would be reversed, and there would be no big problem.
After all, Luo Chen's skills in controlling subordinates have been trained quite effectively over the years.
But now, it was awkward.
Control him?
Luo Chen thought that his methods were definitely not weak in the Jindan stage. Even if a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage took action personally, he had some confidence in protecting himself.
But in front of a Yuanying Zhenren, even if it was just a remnant soul, he did not dare to get carried away.
If he was attacked back, it would be a laughing stock.
Kill him?
Luo Chen couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
Let him go?
Luo Chen also felt it was a pity. He had lived in the Hunyuan Ding for almost four years and hadn't even paid the rent.
During these four years, he had thought more than once about how to deal with Han Zhan.
But no matter how many plans he had, they became pale and powerless after a Yuanying cultivator woke up.
The natural suppression of the realm made it difficult for Luo Chen to speak out his plans easily.
An unspeakable silence filled the practice room.
An old voice suddenly sounded.
"Luo Chen, you hesitated."
"Hehe."
"It seems that you are indeed a gentleman as rumored, and you don't do things that add insult to injury."
Luo Chen raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Senior Han, why do you have to flatter me? If you were a real gentleman, you would have released you openly long ago."
"Hehe..." Han Zhan chuckled, "A gentleman judges by deeds rather than by heart. Whether he is a hypocrite or a real villain, he always looks at the final result. If the result is that I am alive and free, then in this process, no matter what you did, it will only be a good story of you and I supporting each other and escaping from Cangwu Mountain. My friend, what do you think?"
The final result!
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, as if through the thick gray cauldron barrier, he could see through the black wooden figure in that space.
"Senior, do you want to live and live freely?"
Han Zhan laughed at himself, "There is great terror between life and death, especially since I was lucky enough to survive from that wisp of Nirvana Holy Fire. I cherish my life even more and make you laugh."
Luo Chen felt the same way.
He had struggled under Mi Shuhua, but he didn't want to live freely.
For this reason, he dug holes secretly and was ready to run away at any time.
But it is because of understanding that I am more cautious. A person who wants to live freely is very scary!
Seeing Luo Chen, he stopped talking again.
Han Zhan didn't seem to want to make any more detours and went straight to the point.
"Let's talk about the conditions!"
"What exactly can I do to get me out of the cauldron?"
The other party chose to meet naked, which relieved Luo Chen's hesitation.
He looked solemn and said frankly: "Fellow Taoist must know best what Luo is worried about."
"Are you afraid that I will harm you?"
"Yes, senior's methods are mysterious and impossible to guard against. You deceived the god of thunder and prison, so you cheated your death to survive. I also believed that you were incapable of binding a chicken, but you exploded with power under the holy fire of Nirvana. Although it seems that you only have a ray of remnant soul now, there are rumors in ancient times that even if there is only a drop of blood, there is still a ray of blood-stained power in the sky. Who knows if it can explode with real power? "
"I can understand that you are cautious, but this time, you are indeed overly worried."
“Everything is planned first, there is no need to worry too much.”
"How about making a contract? Luo Chen, you have formed the Luotian Alliance before. There should be many talisman contracts. Or maybe I also have a blood contract method that only requires the blood of you and me to be effective."
"Not enough, binding force, far from enough."
"How are you doing?"
"I want the Dao Dao Oath!" Luo Chen said firmly.
Han Zhan seemed to have expected it. He asked, "Will you make an equal oath?"
Luo Chen denied, "I won't do it, but your oath must include the content that you will not take action against me for the rest of your life, or kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"Lifelong..." Han Zhan muttered, and finally said with a wry smile: "It's too long. You know very well that the higher the realm of our monks, the closer we are to the avenue. The vows we make to the avenue are easier to take effect. This word "lifetime" , It’s just a shackles, I’m afraid I won’t be able to improve for the rest of my life after taking this oath.”
Having said this, he paused and then said sadly:
"Luo Chen, don't look at me as an old man. If you really think about it, I am only about 400 years old now. Among Nascent Soul monks, I can be considered young and promising. I also miss the realm of divine transformation very much! "
Han Zhan gave birth when he was three hundred years old. The civil war and the opening war in Yuding took a hundred years together, and he is now about four hundred years old.
Very young indeed!
Instead, Luo Chen captured another piece of information in the other party's words.
"Senior Han only has a trace of his soul left now, but he still thinks about the state of becoming a god. Is there a way to reshape the body, restore the soul, and rebuild the avenue?"
Han Zhan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Chen's sense of smell to be so sharp.
However, there is nothing to hide when one is a knife and one is a fish.
"Others may not be able to do it, but I am proficient in puppets, so I have the corresponding skills."
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something.
"Kill me but not kill me, let me go but not let me go. It seems, Luo Chen, you also have a plan for me!"
"Let me think about it, I have something to worry about."
Before Luo Chen could refute.
He thought to himself and said: "My storage belt has been taken away by the demon cultivator of Cangwu Mountain. It can be said that I have nothing."
"This cathode puppet is quite extraordinary, but it was burned under the holy fire of Nirvana and is not worth mentioning."
"If you think about it this way, all you are thinking about are the things in my mind."
"Kung Fu, secret techniques, puppet-making techniques, medicines, formations... Or is it my method of reshaping the body, restoring the soul, and rebuilding the great path?"
"Luo Chen, do you think I made the right decision?"
Luo Chen blinked. He didn't feel embarrassed or angry even though he was being guessed.
When negotiating terms, this is how each other's bottom line is exposed step by step.
He said loudly: "Isn't the experience of the past four hundred years, senior, a more valuable asset than the things in your mouth?"
Han Zhan smiled casually, "In that case, why don't you and I each take a step back."
"What's the way to retreat?"
"I can make a great oath, but the time limit is limited to a certain time. For example, when you condense the Nascent Soul and are promoted to a generation of real people. By then, you must have the ability to protect yourself, and you will not be afraid of me. And What I can repay you is to help you have a baby as much as possible without violating my own principles. Of course, during this process, you have to help me collect relevant information so that I can continue on the path."
After hearing these words, Luo Chen fell into long thought.
I have to say, this is the most ideal state!
Throughout his life, although he had the support of friends and Taoist companions, he lacked the guidance of the so-called "master".
If Han Zhan is willing to assist him sincerely, it will definitely be of great help.
And what you pay won’t be too much.
The Great Dao Oath has a general binding force on normal low-level monks, but it is very strong on high-level monks.
In particular, Han Zhan was in a state like a child without clothes to protect his body. Once he broke his promise and the oath backfired, he would die suddenly on the spot.
Suddenly, Luo Chen spoke loudly.
"Deal!"
When these two words came out, the heavy air seemed to relax.
However, it was only a seeming.
After a long while, a laugh and scolding came from the cauldron.
"Good boy, you are so cautious."
Luo Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, "Please swear first, I will release you immediately."
"Okay!"
"Cultivator Han Zhan, hereby swears to assist fellow Taoist Luo Chen with all my heart... This oath is based on the Great Dao! If you violate it, you will be struck by five thunders, your inner demon will bite back, you will sink into the endless hell, and fall into reincarnation forever!"
Every word was as if he was signing a contract with someone.
Luo Chen listened carefully to make sure there were no excessive word games in it.
Gradually... when the four words "Great Dao is based" were uttered, a vague connection was established between Luo Chen and Han Zhan.
For Luo Chen, the breeze was blowing on his face, as if he didn't feel it.
For Han Zhan, it was a golden lock and a wooden yoke across his neck.
So far, the oath has been made.
Luo Chen heaved a long sigh of relief.
The aura in his eyes faded, and the green flame in his hand withdrew.
He opened his mouth and sucked, and nine fire dragons escaped into his mouth.
Finally, he raised his sleeves, and the cauldron hummed, and a black light leaped out.
Before he could say a polite word, the black light swayed and fell to the ground.
Crack, crack...
Luo Chen looked closely, and the black wood that made up the puppet man had been torn into pieces like charcoal, and only a slightly transparent illusory man looked at Luo Chen with a wry smile.
"My friend, I have to trouble you to find a place for me to stay."
Luo Chen was speechless.
After all this time, this is the reason why the other party had to wake up after recuperating in the cauldron for four years!
Looking at the other party's state, Luo Chen's heart suddenly moved.
He stretched out his hand and waved, and a long banner fell on his hand.
"Senior, please enter this banner!"
Han Zhan was shocked and angry when he saw the long banner.
"We just agreed on the terms, and now you want to train me into a soul banner demon, Luo Chen, you are going too far!"
No wonder he was so angry.
There are also differences between souls entering the magic banner.
The difference lies in the living soul and the dead soul!
For those who died unjustly, their resentment condensed, and did not dissipate after death, and their spirits and souls remained in the world, which is the dead soul. If this kind of existence is refined, it is a true treasure of the magic way. It is hard to defend against in battle, and it is ever-changing and extremely practical.
But the living soul is that after the cultivator has achieved a successful realm, even if the body is destroyed, it can still retain its mind and even use the body to cultivate.
If such an existence enters the magic banner where dead air, ghost air, resentment, and yin energy gather, even if it is a living soul, it will become a dead soul over time and can never return to the normal path of cultivation.
Han Zhan's current state is surprisingly a living soul that has achieved a successful realm but unfortunately has a destroyed body.
At his anger, Luo Chen chuckled.
"Don't be angry, senior. I have a method. You can listen to it in detail."
With Han Zhan half-believing and half-doubting, Luo Chen told Han Zhan word by word a book of exercises he had obtained in his early years.
"Ghost God Record"
Although it is a method for ghost cultivation, it combines the two ways of living souls and dead souls.
Not only that, it also includes the understanding of the use of formations in the Ghost Valley to cultivate ghosts.
The reason why Bai Meiling was able to be promoted to the second-level ghost general in just a few years was because she practiced "Ghost God Record" and had a soul-raising flag to assist.
Luo Chen did not have a soul-raising flag, but he had a soul-refining flag!
With Han Zhan's ability in refining the soul, combined with "Ghost God Record" and a little modification, wouldn't this flag be an excellent place to live?
Cultivation, use and refinement are originally one!
After listening to Luo Chen's retelling, Han Zhan showed hesitation.
"It is indeed feasible, but I have to study it." As he spoke, he jumped and entered the long banner. Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but raise his mouth. This Ten Thousand Souls Banner now welcomes a residual soul of the Nascent Soul Stage. If the low-level souls are fully replenished, it can not only repeat the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but can even compete with the rumored Hundred Thousand Souls Banner. The most important thing is! Luo Chen does not need to be distracted to control it. In this way, in the battle, Luo Chen has a powerful helper out of thin air. With Han Zhan's ability, even if he can't exert the power of the Nascent Soul at his peak, he is definitely above ordinary Jindan cultivators. "In this way, I finally have a little confidence to roam the sea of demons!"
