However, Long Chen thought about it. Since he had already reached the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm, there was no need to rush to cultivate the sixth level. After all, he still needed a period of respite. During this period of time, the most suitable thing for Long Chen to do was to cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. In order to avoid trouble, Long Chen took out the Mysterious Golden Soul from the Taixu Realm.
He had just reached the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm, but he did not stop for a moment. He immediately started cultivating the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. It was obvious how hard he worked and how serious he was. These were the capital for him to take Lingxi away in the future when he was surrounded by strong enemies.
"Kitten, if I use the Mysterious Golden Soul as a primer and use it to cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal, how am I going to get out of here without the Mysterious Golden Soul?"
If he did not have the Mysterious Golden Soul, with Long Chen's strength, it would be very difficult for him to come so deep underground. That was why he asked such a question.
"Don't think too much about it. The Mysterious Golden Soul is used to cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. It doesn't disappear, it just exists in your body in a different way. You are not a metal-attributed warrior, so the Mysterious Golden Soul has no other use for you. Hurry up and cultivate it. However, to increase the power of fire and metal in a martial aperture, the pain you have to endure is not something an ordinary person can bear."
With Kitten's guarantee, Long Chen was much bolder. He had no more worries. After a period of respite and consolidating his cultivation of the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm, he started cultivating the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal.
The Red Emperor Heaven Incinerating Seal and the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. If these two seals were to be combined and fused together, how terrifying would the final combat power be?
Long Chen was looking forward to it. Of course, the big hurdle in front of him was how to successfully cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal.
Long Chen was very familiar with the cultivation method of the Scarlet Emperor Heaven Incinerating Seal. The same principle applied to the Golden Emperor Heaven Encompassing Seal. The difficulty lay in the process of merging the two types of vital energy.
The Scarlet Emperor Infernal Seal was of the fire attribute while the Gold Emperor Heaven Encompassing Seal was of the metal attribute. As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. The two attributes of metal and fire complemented each other and there was not much conflict between them. Hence, the difficulty of success would probably be lower. If it was water and fire, it would be more troublesome. If water and fire clashed, it might even cause Long Chen's body to explode.
"Come on, kid. Your body can withstand this kind of conflict. The key is whether you can endure it or not. If you can endure it, you will be a dragon among men. If you can, you will be a stinky bug." Kitten said with a smile.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered with him. At this moment, under his control, the Mystic Golden Soul was floating in front of him. Long Chen took a deep breath.
"Begin."
Under his control, the Mystic Golden Soul was gradually lowered and landed on Long Chen's palm. This was on his right palm and there were traces of the Five Emperor Seals on his palm. Among the Five Emperor Seals, only the Scarlet Emperor Seal was bright. When the Mystic Golden Soul was placed on his palm, the golden Gold Emperor Seal actually glowed.
Long Chen realized that it was already very difficult for him to control the Mystic Golden Soul. Under the Gold Emperor Seal's absorption ability, the Mystic Golden Soul quickly stuck to his palm. Under the Gold Emperor Seal's absorption, the Mystic Golden Soul actually melted into a golden liquid and merged with the Gold Emperor Seal.
A ball of golden liquid passed through the Gold Emperor Seal and appeared in the martial aperture on Long Chen's right palm. This martial aperture was originally occupied by the power of Long Chen's Scarlet Emperor Seal. However, after the power of the Gold Emperor Seal entered, the two began to fight for territory.
The power of metal and the power of fire fought from the beginning. The result of this fight was that Long Chen felt pain. As expected, the fusion of the two Emperor Seals was not that simple. Just from the beginning, Long Chen felt as if his arm was about to explode. This made him break out in a cold sweat. In this state, it was already considered that he had a strong will if he didn't twitch in pain. What was there to talk about cultivating? He even had to fuse the two powers into the same martial aperture.
In the martial aperture, the power of the fire attribute had originally occupied the dominant position. The metal attribute had just arrived and had suffered a serious blow. However, it was able to channel an endless amount of power into the Gold Emperor Seal. The Mystic Golden Soul that Long Chen had obtained was a treasure that was many times more powerful than the Blue Devil Flame. Therefore, the metal attribute power was able to hold on for a while.
The solution was to let the two powers fight each other. However, the one who was in pain was Long Chen. On his right arm, a blood-red flame and a golden light appeared at the same time. The two powers were fighting against each other on his arm, fighting for territory and fighting fiercely. Meanwhile, Long Chen was in so much pain that his face had turned pale and he found it difficult to control his arm.
What he needed to do was to use the cultivation method of the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal during the fight. First, he needed to successfully cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. Then, he needed to keep his right arm in a peaceful state. Even if he wanted to fuse the two battle techniques, Long Chen would probably have to practice it many times.
"When the heavens are about to bestow a great responsibility upon a man, it must first torment his will."
Long Chen gritted his teeth. His willpower had always far surpassed that of his peers. At this moment, even though his arm was completely engulfed by the two powers, Long Chen still gritted his teeth and used his Martial Soul, which had become much more powerful, to control the vital energy in the other eight apertures to suppress the two conflicting powers.
This was the first step that he had to take. Once he had done this, he would not need to endure as much pain. The majestic vital energy had directly separated the power of the fire and the power of the metal. During this period of time, Long Chen had to put his life on the line to successfully cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. Otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble if this dragged on.
The fire attribute power in the martial aperture was rather terrifying with the support of the Golden Crow's fire. How could it be willing to let its territory be occupied?
However, under the control of Long Chen, it could only stay obediently no matter how powerful it was.
However, Long Chen only knew how to cry. Even though he had temporarily suppressed the two powers, he knew that this would not last for long.
"I'm going all out."
Long Chen let go of his hands and feet and threw all of his will into the cultivation of the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. He had reached a state of selflessness and had forgotten all about pain and torture. The only thing left was his will to fight.
"Metal is the symbol of sharpness and toughness. It is the symbol of ice-cold massacre."
Among the five elements, metal and fire were attributes with strong attacking power. That was why there was such an intense battle this time. It was as if two ancient beasts were fighting each other.
With the experience of cultivating the Scarlet Emperor Inferno Seal, it was much easier to cultivate the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal. This was especially so in this underground space where there was a thick metal aura everywhere. At this moment, under the attraction of the Gold Emperor Seal, a faint stream of air was gathering towards Long Chen's body from the metal sand in the ground. Every grain of sand contained a small stream of air but the stream of air formed by countless metal grains of sand was extremely terrifying. The golden stream of air gathered into a golden river and poured into Long Chen's body from the Gold Emperor Seal in Long Chen's palm.
The power of the metal attribute grew rapidly in Long Chen's body.
With the Mystical Golden Soul as a guide and the power of the underground metal as the main fighting power, Long Chen's hard work gradually formed the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal in Long Chen's hand, just like the Scarlet Emperor Inferno Seal. The two Emperor Seals in Long Chen's hand, one red and one gold respectively, lit up brightly.
In Long Chen's martial aperture, his vital energy separated the two powers. The flames on the left soared into the sky while the Mystical Golden Soul on the right exploded with a dazzling golden light. The two primers revolved around the core in the middle but Long Chen's vital energy kept them apart.
The Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal had finally succeeded.
This meant that Long Chen had already completed half of it today. The remaining half was to fuse the two formed powers. This was a process that required careful coordination. During this process, Long Chen loosened his vital energy bit by bit, allowing the two violent powers to come into contact slightly. Once they had completely familiarized themselves with each other, there would be a huge conflict when they meet again. They might even be able to fight side by side.
"It'll take a lot of time to fuse the two powers. It'll take at least half a month …" Long Chen made a rough calculation.
This fusion required tenacious patience, but at the same time, it also required the willpower to endure the pain. It must be known that although the two powers had taken form, the berserk power was still present. They clashed, and Long Chen was in pain.
"Looks like I can only endure it …"
In this underground cave, Long Chen began a long process of fusing the two powers. Time passed day by day. Long Chen gritted his teeth and persevered. The two powers quickly fused and the time it took to succeed was slightly faster than Long Chen had estimated.
After some time, Long Chen quietly withdrew his vital energy. The Blue Devil Flame and the Mystical Golden Soul were now obediently revolving around the core in Long Chen's martial aperture.
At this point, the cultivation of the Gold Emperor Heaven Covering Seal had been completely completed.
Long Chen could feel an even more terrifying power existing in his palm. If these two powers were to fuse together, the resulting attack would naturally be unimaginable.
After finally completing this task, Long Chen felt as if he had been reborn.
"The path of cultivation is incomparably difficult. No one can succeed easily. No matter what you do, clenching your teeth and persevering is the way of the king. Just like now, isn't my strength much stronger than before?"
The fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm and two Emperor Seals.
With this kind of strength, Long Chen could do whatever he wanted in the seventh level of the Earth Martial Realm.
