Chapter 548: Confession, New Mansion, Black King, Revenge
Three demons attacked, one was injured and two died.
The things after that were simple, just cleaning up the battlefield.
The living demon spider crab was easy to deal with. Although it was a third-level one, the treatment mode was no different from the first- and second-level ones.
Then there were the two dead demon spider crabs.
One was blown up by Luo Chen's punch in the chest, but there were also relics left, two huge crab claws, and a third-level water demon pill.
Zhu Qi was more miserable.
Luo Chen's Hunyuan Ding was made of excellent materials. Even if the impurities were not completely removed, it could still burst out with great force under the throwing of his ancient body.
Moreover, the continuous sacrifices and frequent alchemy over the years have made his mastery of Hunyuan Ding more and more perfect.
Under one blow, there was no complete body, and even the demon pill did not survive.
However, the compass as the center of the formation and the eight crab legs used to set up the formation were completely preserved.
This is also a good harvest.
As the black-scaled dragon cleaned up the battlefield for him, Luo Chen carefully recalled the previous battle.
Apart from the use of magic and other means, the fighting power of his body was clearly visible.
Facing a monster with a similarly powerful body, he could easily suppress it in the early third stage.
And a monster in the middle third stage was obviously not his opponent.
The reason why he was trapped in the formation was that he was a little careless.
After all, few people would have thought that monsters would use formations, which is the "scientific crystallization" of human cultivators.
This also reminded Luo Chen that he should not be careless in the face of any enemy.
"The "Ten Thousand Paths Convergence" has been perfected, and it has derived the function of partial body changes, which has played a role in compensating for my pure physical fight."
"In this way, even if I don't perform the complete transformation of Tianpeng's true body, I can also burst out some of my body refining strength."
"And if I completely transform, the late third stage of the ancient times..."
Luo Chen tasted it, and recalled the battle with the Golden Wolf King on Tianguyuan in his mind.
At this moment, if he completely transformed now, he might be able to block the opponent's full-strength frontal attack without any damage.
In other words, his current strength is enough to not fear most of the great demon kings in the late third stage.
And if he waits until his fourth-level Jindan realm is completely stabilized.
Even if he faces a great cultivator in the late seventh level of Jindan, he can have enough self-protection power.
"Even if he is prepared, he can win the battle?"
Luo Chen murmured.
He was a little unsure of his true strength.
However, no matter how unsure he was, he had the confidence to win strongly in the face of Wu Qi's attack.
"My body has more than enough practice, but not enough exercise. I feel that there is still a lot of room for development."
"Moreover, with the blessing of the Black Emperor Ointment, there is a great chance of being promoted to the fourth level. If that happens, there may be a real qualitative change!"
When Luo Chen was summarizing, the black-scaled dragon swam over carefully.
"Master, this is all the spoils of war."
Luo Chen put these things into the storage ring, and then released the cleaning technique to this sea area.
But after cleaning, he couldn't help but shook his head.
Many battle auras can no longer be completely eliminated by low-level spells such as cleaning.
It can only achieve a short-term concealment effect.
He looked around, made up his mind, and took the black-scaled dragon back to Tianxuan Island.
He first glanced at Tianxuan Douou lying on the ground and frowned.
"What happened?"
Tianxuan Douou replied in a low voice: "A great cultivator in the late Jindan period put a demon-suppressing talisman on me, and my whole body's demonic power cannot be mobilized."
Demon-suppressing talisman!
The most widely circulated talisman in the North Sea Xiuxian world, from the first level to the fourth level, everything is available.
The function is also very simple, that is, to suppress the inner elixir of the demon beast and seal the whole body's demonic power.
The reason for this kind of talisman.
Because some cultivators like to capture living demon beasts, tame and subdue them, and make them spirit beasts.
Moreover, many like to use them as rewards to juniors with low realms.
Therefore, in order to facilitate them to subdue monsters, the demon-suppressing talismans are mostly shared by two. The younger generation gets it and uses the talisman to drive monsters with higher realms than themselves.
Luo Chen sent out his spiritual sense and carefully explored Tianxuan Douou's body.
In the case of the other party's lack of resistance, he quickly found the third-level demon-suppressing talisman, which had penetrated into her demon pill.
In the case that the caster does not take the initiative to remove it, this talisman is difficult to remove.
Unless the main talisman is found.
Luo Chen looked carefully and nodded slightly.
"It's not a big problem. Even if there is no main talisman, give me some time and I can remove it."
His confidence surprised Tianxuan Douou and Hei Lin Jiao. The master can even remove the demon-suppressing talisman?
"You two take a break and leave with me later."
Hei Lin Jiao was stunned, "Are you leaving?"
Luo Chen did not answer him and returned to the cave alone.
As soon as he entered, he saw the black soul-refining flag inserted at the door.
Han Zhan's voice came at the right time, "Congratulations on your progress!"
Luo Chen waved his hand, "The fourth level of Jindan is not worth mentioning."
"I'm not just talking about the fourth level of Jindan, but also your physical strength! You killed three demon kings, especially one of them was a mid-stage demon king who actually mastered the formation, and you killed them so easily. Looking at the cultivators at the Jindan level, you are also one of the best."
Luo Chen pulled the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked, "Compared with Gu Shaoshang of Feiyunjian, how am I?"
On the way back, he learned the details of the previous battle through the black-scaled dragon.
He also learned the origin of the monks on that boat and the name of the leader, Gu Shaoshang, the eldest brother of Feiyunjian.
Han Zhan smiled, "I fought with him for only a few breaths, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not my magic weapon, so it's not easy to judge. But in my opinion, he is not as good as you."
Luo Chen also smiled.
"According to what the senior said, he is not as good as me. But he, who is at the seventh level of the Golden Core, fought with the senior equally, and in front of the senior, I still feel that your residual soul is as deep as the sea. Hehe..."
Han Zhan was silent.
Luo Chen ignored him and went straight into the cave.
The mana surged, turning into big red hands, and put all kinds of medicinal materials, books, wooden racks, and cushions into the storage ring one by one.
The battle with the three demon kings of the Demon Spider Crab clan was quite a commotion.
I killed three demons, and the Demon Spider Crab clan would definitely not let it go.
This is not a small crab of the first or second level!
Tianxuan Island has been exposed!
Therefore, abandoning this base is imperative.
This is also the reason why human cultivators rarely choose the wild mountains and the demon sea territory to practice.
If a battle breaks out slightly, it is easy to attract a large number of demon beasts to spy and attack.
In that case, quiet cultivation is impossible at all.
If it weren't for the two spirit beasts I subdued, how could I have been so peaceful in the past five years.
Leave, right now.
After packing up everything, Luo Chen looked at this cave with a small third-level spirit vein, and felt reluctant to leave.
"What a pity."
He murmured and waved his sleeves.
The spirit gathering flags buried underground turned into streams of light and flew towards him, and a crackling sound came from above the cave.
Large pieces of fallen rocks and gravel fell down.
He turned and left.
When he passed the door, he recalled the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
...
In the sky, a group of light white clouds flew slowly.
Luo Chen held the compass left by Zhu Qi and kept fiddling with it.
This is a water-attributed array.
With his current accomplishments in array formation, he could observe that there were thirteen array formations engraved on it.
Ten of them were common first- and second-order array formations.
The other three were quite impressive third-order array formations.
The Sea Sealing Bagua Array was also among them.
This array was strong in extracting the endless water vapor from the sea to form a sealing and imprisoning array. As long as you enter the array, if you don't have absolute explosive power, the array setter will almost be invincible.
After all, human power is sometimes limited, but the sea is infinite.
Luo Chen relied on the late third-stage ancient physique and the long-tempered top-grade magic weapon Hunyuan Ding to break it violently.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been trapped alive in it and killed by those blood-colored spider silks.
In addition to the Sea Sealing Eight Diagrams Formation, there is also a Lanyun Mist Formation, which has the effect of concealing and covering.
As for the last third-stage formation, Luo Chen couldn't see any origin.
When he was studying the formation plate, his eyebrows suddenly raised.
With a flip of his wrist, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner stretched in front of him.
"Is there anything you want to say to me, senior?"
In the soul banner, Han Zhan sighed and said, "I just want to tell you that the remaining soul source of this remnant soul of mine is very little, which is the key to my future body shaping and body cultivation. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I can't go to war and lose my source because of some weak enemies."
Luo Chen sneered.
Sure enough, this Han Zhan kept a trick.
When dealing with Wu Qi before, he used the reason that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had too much loss of low-level souls as an excuse to cover up the fact that he could not stop the opponent, forcing Luo Chen to personally stop Wu Qi from landing on the Feiyan Islands.
But over the past few years, he has charged all the souls of the first- and second-level monster crabs he hunted into the Soul Refining Banner.
This banner has long restored the quality of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
It can even be said that because Luo Chen killed Yan Nantian that year, the souls of many foundation-building cultivators in this banner divided and devoured Yan Nantian's soul, making those hundreds of foundation-building souls have a third-level foundation.
After replenishing the low-level souls, the soul of a cultivator who had once reached the great perfection of foundation-building in his lifetime gradually advanced to the level of the third-level ghost king by swallowing and fusion.
This is also the reason why when Han Zhan activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, in addition to the original ghost king, there was also a second ghost king.
In this case, this banner is already a genuine Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
With Han Zhan, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, as the manipulator, even if he is not very good, how can a mere seventh-level Jindan cultivator be his opponent?
But Han Zhan had to use the Black Scale Dragon to perform his innate magic to save Tianxuan Douou after blocking Gu Shaoshang.
For this, he got into trouble.
It can be said that Han Zhan has always been consciously holding back and hiding his true ability.
Considering the other party's battle with the Proud Howling Wolf King in Tianguyuan and all his deeds in Cangwu Mountain, this person is really cunning and likes to keep one or two cards.
At this moment, Luo Chen could only sneer when he heard the other party's reason for holding back.
"I don't know whether what you said is true or false, but since the senior chose to go with me to the Demon Sea and is bound by the oath of the Great Dao, I think it is best for us to cooperate sincerely."
Han Zhan asked back: "By sincere cooperation, do you mean to go all out for the other party?"
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said leisurely: "I hope so."
Han Zhan chuckled, "Then I might as well speak frankly. What I want may not be achieved even if you go all out."
"Speak frankly!"
"Recovering the Nascent Soul stage through hard practice is impossible for me. And if it is a Jindan cultivator, I can't rely on the body of the body to survive the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, I need a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it must be the body of a human cultivator, for me to reshape and cultivate, and rebuild the foundation of Taoism. Luo Chen, can you do it?"
The leisurely look on Luo Chen's face disappeared.
...
Splash!
Above the sea, there were many bubbles, and as the ripples dissipated, it gradually returned to calm.
Under the sea, two figures dived deeper and deeper.
Finally, they came to a very deep gully on the seabed.
The black-scaled dragon stopped moving and said respectfully: "Master, this is the most secretive place among the three backup bases."
Luo Chen looked at the trench that was thousands of feet long and could not be seen at a glance. On both sides of the trench, there were beautiful red corals swaying.
That is blood coral!
Second-level spiritual plants, spiritual, and powerfully aggressive.
Because of its gorgeous appearance, it often attracts marine creatures for its prey.
Therefore, this place is also a dangerous place, and ordinary low-level monsters will not come here.
He nodded with satisfaction.
The exposure of Tianxuan Island was within his expectations.
So long ago, he ordered Tianxuan and the black-scaled dragon to find a backup base for him.
This is one of them, and it is also the most hidden place.
The black-scaled dragon hesitated for a while, but still said: "Master, there is only the spiritual energy concentration of the second-level spiritual vein here, and it is still of water attribute. I am afraid it is not suitable for you to practice. Otherwise, let's go to Huagu Island!"
Luo Chen waved his hand and walked towards the coral trench.
"Slippery Bone Island is too dangerous. Although there is a third-level spiritual vein, there are a lot of hidden dust sands on it, and it is adjacent to the nine-clawed poisonous king crab."
"It's better to have less trouble than more."
"Besides, I have already advanced to the fourth level of the Golden Core. In the short term, I will focus on stabilizing my state. I don't need a good spiritual vein."
Entered the Coral Trench.
Luo Chen looked around and finally stopped under a rock wall.
"Let's go here!"
Before he took out the Xuanhuo Sword to open up the cave, the black-scaled dragon swam over.
"Master, I'll do it! I'll do it!"
"These little things are not worth spending your precious mana."
As he spoke, he crashed into the rock wall, and the demon power spewed out, turning into sharp blades to cut the hard rock.
Seeing his dog-legged appearance, Luo Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Big Black..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Luo Chen recalled the scene when the black-scaled dragon, regardless of the lack of demon power, forced himself to help him fight.
And the hard work of the other party over the years.
Even if it was because of being enslaved and for the sake of Emperor Liujiang, it can still be said that he worked hard and made great contributions!
The name of a big black is a bit casual.
At least, that fighting gull can still be called Tianxuan.
Thinking of this, Luo Chen asked: "Speaking of which, do you have a name?"
The black-scaled dragon, who was working hard to open up the cave, was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "When I was young, my tribe called me Xiao Tao, saying that I was a big eater. Later, I became fat, so I was called Da Hei. That Kun Jiao also called me that."
Xiao Tao, Da Hei...
Luo Chen twitched his mouth. No wonder he called him Da Hei before, and the other party never noticed anything wrong.
It's really called this name!
However, this is too casual.
"Let me give you a name!"
The black-scaled dragon stopped moving and looked at Luo Chen eagerly, "Master, do you want to give me a name?"
Luo Chen nodded and looked at the dragon horns on the top of the black-scaled dragon's head. The majestic appearance has already appeared. He has awakened another innate magic with great potential, which can swallow foreign objects and rely on his powerful digestive ability to strengthen himself.
If he does not fall in the future, he will definitely do something, or have the aura of a king.
Thinking of this, he said softly: "Let's call him Black King!"
"Black Turtle?" The black-scaled dragon was stunned and didn't react. How could he be similar to a turtle?
Luo Chen laughed dumbly and repeated it again, "Black King!"
This time, the black-scaled dragon heard it clearly.
"Black King? Black King!"
After mumbling a few words, he showed ecstasy.
"Thank you for the name, Master!"
Luo Chen shook his head, "You continue!"
Then, he walked to the nearby area, and after a brief observation, he made a plan in his mind.
It is not a good strategy to use magic power to resist the pressure of the deep sea and shield the erosion of sea water.
Originally, he planned to set up a second-level water-proof formation.
But now, there is a better alternative.
While thinking, he took out the compass he had just obtained from the storage ring.
First, use the powerful divine consciousness to erase the Zhu Qi mark left on it.
Monsters are strong in body but weak in soul.
Although he is in the middle stage of the third level, his soul is only in the early stage of the third level.
Even though Luo Chen's soul has not been deliberately trained in recent years, as his realm has improved, it has gradually grown to a level comparable to that of an ordinary late Jindan!
He is also proficient in the obscure prohibition in the foundation of the seven major formations.
Once it is used at this moment, it will only take three or five breaths to erase the remaining mark of the previous owner.
Then, mana is injected into it.
The three layers of the compass slowly interlocked, and began to rotate slowly. The power of the earth veins and water vapor around them were also attracted and gradually changed.
Streams of water, with Luo Chen as the center, began to move and rotate continuously.
The blood corals nearby shook their bodies, giving off their fear instinct.
Slowly, a water curtain spread out, pushing away the sea water one by one, and more mist spread out.
It was the Lanyun Mist Array!
It has a very strong concealment effect and can be well integrated into the local environment.
The spreading mist, after a few diffusions, also turned into red light, which was reflected by the nearby blood corals. Anyone who saw it would only think it was the light reflected by the blood corals.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"In this way, you can move without worries."
"It just consumes a little mana. It is better to use spirit stones instead in normal times."
While he was arranging the formation, the Black King also opened up a rough cave.
Luo Chen entered, praised the other party, and then embedded the compass in the center of the cave, and began to arrange the spirit gathering array.
After all this was done, this place had a preliminary prototype of a cave that could be lived in for a short period of time.
Then, Luo Chen summoned the Hunyuan Ding.
Clang!
The big cauldron fell to the ground, and the magic formula was pinched.
Tianxuan Douou was shaken out from it.
"Next, I will unlock the demon-suppressing talisman for you!"
As for how to unlock it?
For Luo Chen, it was not a difficult task.
This talisman is mainly because there is a high-level cultivator's mana mark on it, which makes it difficult to uncover the secondary talisman without the main talisman.
He only needs to use the fourth-level dragon-slaying technique to cut off its mana mark.
What a coincidence!
Over the years, in order to remove the huge medicinal evil of the True Flame Pill, the Dragon-Slaying Technique has been used day after day, and the proficiency has been brushed to the master level, and it is not far from the great perfection!
Cutting off the mana mark of a seventh-level Jindan cultivator is more than enough.
But in a short time, the mark completely disappeared.
The prototype of the demon-suppressing talisman also appeared on Tianxuan Douou's forehead.
Luo Chen opened his hand and the talisman fell to the ground, losing its aura.
Once the talisman was gone, he felt free!
Tianxuan Douou used her demonic power and felt comfortable all over.
She lay on the ground and said happily: "Thank you, master, for casting a spell!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "You are my spirit beast, this is what I should do."
At this point, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
It's not so easy to get rid of someone trying to take his spirit beast.
Especially when Han Zhan took action, if the other party didn't take the initiative to return it, it would be even more sinful.
"Do you still remember the breath of the people on that boat?"
When this question came out, Tianxuan Douou was stunned at first, and then said hatefully: "Tianxuan naturally remembers!"
The Douou clan is the most vengeful.
Therefore, it has the bad reputation of being good at fighting because of vengeance.
Memorizing the breath of the enemy is an instinct engraved in the blood.
Luo Chen nodded, "In this case, you take a rest and go find the people on that boat to see where they are and what they are going to do?"
Tian Xuan had a guess in her mind, could it be that the master wanted to avenge her?
When she thought of being teased, captured, and suppressed, she couldn't help but hate the other party.
If she could take revenge, it would be so cool!
But...
"Master, do you want to avenge me?" Tian Xuan hesitated, "There are many Jindan people on that ship, such as the master, there are two mid-stage cultivators like you, and even a great cultivator of the seventh level of Jindan. This..."
Luo Chen sneered, "Don't worry, go and find them first. Don't alarm the snake, just know the general situation."
Seeing the master's firm decision, Tian Xuan Douou did not resist.
In addition, she was not used to the environment under the sea, so she left the Coral Trench immediately.
Looking at her leaving back, Luo Chen snorted.
He really wanted to know why a boat of people, even seven Jindan cultivators, would travel to the Demon Sea and come to the dangerous Xuanyan Sea.
If they were just passing by, it would be easy to say, at most he could just bear it.
If they were going to do something big in the Xuanyan Sea, it would affect his plan to refine the Black Emperor Cream.
At that time, just in case, he might have to divert the trouble to the east and use the five royal crabs to take revenge.
In the war, he could also hunt some crabs.
In recent years, the number of crabs hunted has been decreasing, which is not enough for him to refine and store more Black Emperor Cream for his future practice plan after leaving.
After thinking about all this, Luo Chen closed the door of the cave.
The realm of the fourth level of the Jindan has just been broken through, and it still needs to be stabilized. Don't let other trivial matters let this realm that has been hard to practice fall.
The rhythmic breathing rhythm slowly sounded in the cave in the coral trench.
Changing the place seemed to have no effect on Luo Chen.
