Chapter 655: The Demon Lord's Seventh Fighter, the Three Cultivators Head North (Additional Chapter for the Leader, Poor Monk, Who Loves to Eat Meat)
The strange scene in Penghu lasted only a short moment in Ding Yi's eyes.
But he stayed by the shore of Penghu for a full hour.
He did not move until a divine consciousness came from inside.
"Will we set off in half a month?"
He looked back every few steps, still looking at the lake shrouded in clouds and mist with doubt, as if there was something terrifying inside.
...
And in the Star Hall.
Luo Chen opened the attribute panel again after a long time.

[Achievement Points: 334]
Looking at the attribute panel, Luo Chen showed a satisfied smile.
These are all the gains he has made since he came to the Ten Thousand Immortals Association for nearly thirty years!
And this is just the gains from cultivation. If he opens the panels of Alchemist, Weapon Caster, and Formation Master, his gains will be even more terrifying!
And after just one look, Luo Chen's smile became brighter and brighter, and even the corners of his mouth were about to crack to his ears.
Eight hundred!
Lifespan of eight hundred!
Rumor has it that the lifespan of a Nascent Soul is only one thousand years.
And he, Luo Chen, can have a terrifying lifespan of eight hundred years at the mere Golden Core stage.
Among all the cultivators of the time, who else can do this but me!
This terrifying change in lifespan was obviously due to the body refining realm he had just been promoted to.
The fourth level of the ancient times, even without the innate bonus of the race of the authentic wild beast, gave him a lifespan limit of 300 years.
Even though he had expected it, Luo Chen was still smiling after seeing the result.
"Such a huge investment is worth it after all!"
In the body refining, Luo Chen consumed countless resources, which was not necessarily less than that of Qi refining.
In the Black Emperor Cream alone, there were at least thousands of second-level monster crabs and more than a dozen third-level crab kings.
If you add the tens of thousands of low-level monsters he had burned and devoured with the original true fire over the years.
Adding these two items together, the spiritual stones consumed would be worth hundreds of millions.
The terrifying investment of resources created the freak of today.
The 300-year lifespan bonus is justified!
The only thing that Luo Chen regretted was probably the improvement in the Qi refining realm.
In recent years, in order to break through the fourth level of the ancient times, he had to delay his practice of Qi Refining, which caused the realm that could have been promoted to be stuck at half of the sixth level of the Golden Core.
Of course, it cannot be entirely blamed on the time spent on physical training.
In recent years, he has been casting weapons, going out to hunt for treasures, and frequently performing the extremely mana-consuming Senluo Fire Prison. These things have seriously delayed his practice of Qi Refining.
It can only be said that Luo Chen may be able to do many things at the same time, but he cannot split himself into two and take care of everything.
Of course, it is a pity that it is only a little bit.
In Luo Chen's view, there are thousands of ways to practice, but in the end, they all end up seeking immortality.
The so-called immortality is life span.
Now that the physical training has taken the lead, and he has truly gained an improvement in life span, what is there to regret?
In particular, there is also a bonus in strength!
The fourth-level spells and the Dragon Slaying Yuandan are all perfect, and the Senluo Fire Prison has also entered the perfect level in the battlefield of the fallen sea monster beast, and can be released at will.
As for the physical skills, Luo Chen collected all the scattered and incomplete killing moves he had acquired over the years and named it "Seven Scattered Hands of the Demon Lord".
The reason why it is called Seven Scattered Hands is, of course, because there are only seven moves.
The Cloud-Exploding Claw is elusive.
The Overlord's Armor-Removing Moves are complicated, but when combined together, they can be completed in one go to remove the enemy's defense.
Thunder Kick is a leg technique, as fast as thunder. If it is combined with the Great Perfection of Exploding Air Steps, it is even more powerful. Han Zhan once said that this move could not hit a Yuanying Zhenren, but now he has reached the fourth level of the Ancient World, and Luo Chen wants to know if there is a Yuanying Zhenren who dares to take this move.
Zhenshan, Pulling Mountain, Breaking Mountain, and Crashing Mountain, these four moves come from "The Six Extreme Mountain Styles", but now Luo Chen performs them, it seems to be true, and the power is even greater than the description in the classics. The reason for this is that Luo Chen combined some low-level moves that he was good at before with his own situation, and made corresponding improvements.
Of course, if you just collect them together and create your own so-called martial arts, it would be a bit shameless.
Fortunately, in the last few years, Luo Chen practiced these physical skills crazily in order to refine his body, so that his proficiency in the seven free-hand moves has reached a good level.
At a glance, except for the most complicated Overlord Unarmoring, which is at the mastery level, the others are either perfect or grandmaster level!
You know, the system's evaluation is very rigorous and harsh.
The grandmaster level on the panel is likely to be the so-called great success in the outside world.
Even at the primary level of proficiency, the outside world often evaluates it as a small achievement and a master.
Not to mention the level of Dzogchen, which must be the pinnacle and the point of innovating.
"Relying on this Demon Lord's Seven Sanshou, I may be able to maximize my current powerful physique."
Luo Chen murmured, with a bit of ambition in his eyes.
After he transformed into Tianpeng's true form, his attack methods were too direct and too lacking.
In the past, I could still carry the natal magic weapon Hunyuan Cauldron and smash it around, but now Hunyuan Cauldron has to assist Jindan to cast Senluo Fire Hell, so it can't be used easily.
I also thought about using the Hundred Orogens left behind by the Hundred Orogens as an attack weapon.
But the hundred orogenous mountains are actually the mountain master's natal magic weapon. After the death of the master, the power is damaged, and Luo Chen has not had time to refine it over the years, so he cannot exert 100% of its power.
In comparison, the scattered killing moves he had collected and put together were more reliable and convenient.
If there is a chance in the future, if we collect some powerful killing moves, maybe Demon Lord's Seven Sanshou will become Eight Sanshou, Twelve Sanshou, Twenty-three Sanshou or something like that.
In short, the future is promising!
Finally, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the achievement points column.
【334】
It's a number that makes people feel numb.
He hasn't used achievement points in a long time.
But over the years, I have never stopped refining alchemy, casting weapons, practicing formations, and learning various killing moves. Over time, I have accumulated more than three hundred.
He remembered clearly that the last time he checked the panel, it was only one hundred and fifty.
In a blink of an eye, it accumulated to more than three hundred without realizing it.
Apart from the surprise, there is also a sense of security.
In the future, if he encounters high-level elixirs, techniques or even spells, these achievement points are the master keys that he can forcefully enter into if he cannot study them thoroughly.
Even some incomplete skills can be completed through achievement points.
For example, "The Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"!
This peerless skill, which is said to lead directly to the Mahayana stage, was only available to Luo Chen in the Golden elixir chapter.
Even the Golden Elixir Chapter is broad, profound, and extraordinary.
Convert spiritual root attributes, purify mana, and even greatly increase the control of flames, etc.
For now, the Golden Elixir Chapter is absolutely sufficient. In Luo Chen's opinion, the magic of this scripture is more than enough even for his cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage.
But Luo Chen did not reach that realm after all, and it is not clear what the difference is in the practice in the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, the incomplete "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" became a worry for Luo Chen in his future practice.
He originally wanted to practice this technique to the Great Perfection and see if the system would automatically deduce and complete it, just like the original "Yi Mu Yao Wang Sutra" was automatically completed into the "Eternal Youth Sutra" after it was completed.
However, the proficiency of this technique has been improved too slowly. It has only been perfected after decades and has not yet reached the master level.
And, this is just a filing.
The level of "Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra" is too high. If the system cannot automatically deduce the follow-up, then he will have to consider whether to use a large number of achievement points to forcibly complete it.
As for switching to practicing Kung Fu after the Nascent Soul stage?
Luo Chen had considered this, but in the end he shelved the plan.
Frequent changes in major skills by monks will cause great damage to spiritual roots. It is best to stick to the same practice.
The so-called spiritual root is elusive, but it is actually hidden in the monk's body.
Specifically, it is not an exact thing, but the monk's affinity to a certain spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Why do people with fewer spiritual roots practice faster?
The reason is that the smaller the number of spiritual roots, the higher the affinity for the heaven and earth spiritual energy of the corresponding attributes.
The more spiritual roots there are, the more affinity they have for a single attribute of spiritual energy, which will be shared and affected, resulting in a greatly reduced absorption efficiency.
When a monk practices a certain system of skills all year round, his body and spiritual roots will become more in tune with the spiritual energy of the corresponding attribute.
But once you switch to practicing Kung Fu, this state of coherence will be broken, causing harm to your own body.
If it is a similar type of technique with the same attributes, the damage will be reduced, but it will still have an impact. After all, my body has become accustomed to that kind of meridians during decades of practice.
Luo Chen possesses five spiritual roots, and it seems possible to transfer between the five spiritual roots.
But the higher the realm, the less he dares to change cultivation easily.
After all, the affinity between his five spiritual roots and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not very high.
Unless, he can achieve the "primordial body" that a madman had in mind!
That kind of physique from myths and legends, not to mention practicing martial arts. Even if you are in a place where the void is turbulent, you can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to practice, which is really desirable.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen's mood gradually cooled down from the previous ecstasy.
"Now that everything is ready, it's time to set off."
"I'm afraid those two have been waiting for a long time!"
Luo Chen chuckled lightly, and the restless sense of power all over his body gave him the confidence to look down on everything at this moment.
Ding Yi? Moyun Cave Master?
Ah!
…
Half a month later, on the bank of Penghu in mist.
Two figures stood on the shore, waiting for something quietly.
Suddenly a breeze came.
A red-robed Taoist came across the lake with a sword box on his back and his feet on the back of the python.
When he reached the lakeside, the Taoist jumped up, holding a spirit animal bag and waved to the huge python.
"Come in!"
The Black King grunted reluctantly, shrunk in size and flew in.
Putting the spirit beast bag on his waist, Luo Chen faced the two of them with a salute.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, cave master, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
It’s been a long wait indeed!
The Sinking Sea Sky Phenomenon has been in existence for more than a year. Those who should have gone have already gone. The three of them have been planning for many years, but they have been unable to leave. All this is due to Luo Chen.
Before, Ding Yi had been full of complaints and even wanted to force his way into Penghu.
However, when he really saw Luo Chen at this time, Ding Yi just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Chen was full of fear.
The terrifying aura brought by that fleeting moment at the beginning could not be faked.
Looking carefully at this moment, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and even Luo Chen's realm did not seem to have broken through to the late Jindan stage.
So, what was that terrifying aura at the beginning?
Some kind of killing move? Or, was it caused by the Penghu formation? It can't be that he was deliberately trying to scare himself!
"Hey, your face, Demon Lord?"
The Lord of Moyun Cave was also looking at Luo Chen. After a quick glance, he didn't feel anything, but he felt that he had overlooked something.
When he looked again, he found that the red skin on the other's face had disappeared.
Instead, it was as white as jade, like the cream of a baby.
Ding Yi also suddenly realized that he only believed in his own perception and consciousness, but ignored what he saw with his eyes.
The face of the Demon Lord Qingyang!
His skin was as white as cream, his face was as beautiful as jade, and his dark eyes were as deep as a cold abyss, reflecting the filthiness of people's hearts.
Especially, against the background of the bright red Taoist robe, the skin color was even more conspicuous and glaring.
In front of the lake, the morning mist was filled, and the Taoist was like a fairy in the air, like a banished immortal.
Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"It's just a slight change in skin color. For people of my generation, why should we care about appearance? Let's go, Luo can't wait!"
After saying that, he passed the two and went north.
Ding Yi and Moyun Cave Master looked at each other, looking at Luo Chen's back, which seemed to have even grown a little taller, and realized that there must be some unknown changes in the other person.
But since they were about to set off, they didn't care about guessing and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
Two hours after they left.
The sky was slightly bright and the sun was rising.
The warm light sprinkled on the clear lake, reflecting the beauty of the 800-li Penghu. When the early-rising monks rowed past, ripples appeared, and the tranquility of the immortal land was even more evident.
No one realized that the dense clouds and fog that once covered the 800-li Penghu had dissipated today.
No one noticed that Qingyangzi, the lord of Penghu, had quietly left.
