Treasure Trove Tower.
Inside a stone house, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on a stone bed. In the entire stone house, there were waves of ripples in the void. This was the power of the mind.
When a martial artist broke through to the Seventh Floor realm and experienced the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation, his body and mind would become more solid. His mind and will would be able to break out of the body and integrate into the void. What's more, he could control the power of heaven and earth with his mind and will alone. He could even penetrate the body of others and control everything.
There was a white jade box beside Xiao Chen. There was only one spiritual sword grass left in the jade box. The other two spiritual sword grass had been refined by him.
As early as five years ago, although Xiao Chen's mind and will were not comparable to that of a real Venerable, it was enough to be on par.
In five years, Xiao Chen's martial arts cultivation reached the fifth layer of the Heavy Building realm. However, after reaching the fifth layer, his mind and will could no longer make any progress. It seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
There was only one level between the fifth layer and the sixth layer of the Heavy Building realm, but the martial artist who crossed over would have earth-shaking changes. This was a transformation that was far greater than the limit of the blood refining realm to the Heavy Building realm.
In the world of the human race and even the hundred races of the great wilderness, as long as a martial artist entered the sixth layer of the Heavy Building realm, he could be called a Venerable.
Before reaching the 6th Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Building Realm, a martial artist's blood qi, battle qi, and even spirit were essentially separated and not integrated with each other. Of course, there were some genius martial artists who could temporarily integrate these three and burst out a powerful force, but it was not a true integration.
The heavenly fire tribulation of the fifth layer of the Heavy Building realm was to thoroughly refine the essence, qi, and spirit in the heavenly fire. The flesh and blood were the body, the battle qi was the material, and the spirit was the fire. The initial integration was a true unity. Every move and every move had the power of heaven and earth.
Qiu Hu had rushed back to the combat division and passed on Xiao Chen's order back to let the tribe be prepared to deal with the next crisis. Perhaps this Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood was not moving in the direction of the Fallen Dragon Territory, but it was never wrong to be careful. After all, this was related to the development of the tribe.
Taking a step back, if this Thunder Tribulation Spirit Tree fled in the direction of the Fallen Dragon Territory, it would appear in the Eastern Territory of the Fallen Dragon Ridge. If the tribe was prepared, it might have unexpected benefits for subduing the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Tree.
Originally, the eastern region of the Fallen Dragon Ridge was guarded by the master and disciple of the Fallen Dragon Bloodline, Mt. Falling Cloud. However, after the crisis of the Blue-eyed Suanni was resolved five years ago, no powerful vicious beasts appeared. The master and disciple had left for the depths of the Great Wilderness. As for when they would return, no one knew.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The third Sword Spirit Grass was also refined by Xiao Chen into his body. Inside the stone house, the fluctuations became more and more intense. The invisible power even turned the stone table not far away into powder. The entire void was shaking. The soul power belonging to Xiao Chen was wreaking havoc in the void.
Although his spiritual power had been in a bottleneck state for five years, Xiao Chen still hadn't slacked off on polishing his spiritual power. At his current realm, talent was one thing, but perseverance was also needed. This was a kind of painstaking work. As long as one's strength reached the required level, success would come naturally one day.
However, he hadn't expected to obtain such a spiritual medicine that could condense his spiritual will. This time, Xiao Chen even wanted to thank the Elder of the Xuan Qing Army who had come to provoke him. If it hadn't been for him, this Sword Spirit Grass wouldn't have appeared in his hands.
Boom!
In Xiao Chen's Sea of Soul, a storm was forming. This was a surging tide of the spiritual world. At this moment, he frowned and even fell into a state of confusion.
If someone had been beside Xiao Chen, he would have found that Xiao Chen's aura had become illusory at this moment. It seemed that he had fallen into all kinds of inexplicable surging tides, and was unable to extricate himself.
However, no matter how violent this spiritual storm raged, in the depths of Xiao Chen's Soul, there was a faint light that stabilized his mind and locked onto his soul.
After an unknown amount of time, an invisible fluctuation erupted from the depths of Xiao Chen's Soul. With Xiao Chen as the center, it suddenly rushed out in all directions and even shot out of the stone house, sweeping up the Void.
The spiritual barrier was finally broken, and Xiao Chen's spiritual will truly became the will of a Venerable.
A mighty aura filled the entire Treasure Trove Pavilion and even overflowed outwards. The surrounding cultivators suddenly felt a supreme aura descend, suppressing them to the point of being unable to breathe. Some were even directly crushed to the ground by this aura.
Hu!
This aura disappeared as quickly as it came. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. Inside the stone house, Xiao Chen's body trembled slightly. A green light flashed in his eyes. The originally berserk aura receded like a receding tide and was withdrawn by him.
His spiritual will broke the barrier of the Venerable Realm and broke into the 6th Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Building Realm. It was truly comparable to the spiritual will of a Venerable. Of course, this was only in terms of spiritual will. Compared to the mighty Venerable in other aspects, he was still somewhat inferior.
But even so, Xiao Chen was still proud of it. If one wanted to promote to the Venerable Realm, the most difficult thing to break through was the spiritual will. Now, Xiao Chen had completed the promotion ahead of time. In the future, as long as he accumulated battle qi and stabilized his battle body, promoting to the mighty Venerable Realm was just a matter of time.
Although Xiao Chen's breakthrough was fast and dissipated quickly, some real powerhouses in Duanmu City could feel it. The spiritual will belonging to the Venerable Realm had long surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. This was a kind of sublimation.
Two days later, there was still no news about the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood. In the entire Duanmu City, the number of Heavenly Building Realm cultivators had reached more than 20. There were even mighty Venerables in the Four Pavilions.
It was a white-haired old man. There wasn't a single trace of Battle Qi on his body. He just appeared out of thin air above Duanmu City. He was clearly standing there, but in the perception of many martial artists, there was nothing there.
After promoting his spiritual will to the Venerable Realm, Xiao Chen had a deeper feeling about this old man than other cultivators. In his perception, this Venerable should have just promoted to the Venerable Realm not long ago. In terms of spiritual will, the two of them should be on the same level. However, compared to other aspects, Xiao Chen was far inferior.
Not long after, the name of this Venerable had spread across the entire Duanmu City. He was the third mighty Venerable of Baize Marquis. Three years ago, he had passed the Heavenly Fire Tribulation and promoted to the Venerable Realm. He was called Vajra Venerable because he had a half-step four-star Vajra Demon Ape under him. It was said that the ape was going to become a true four-star fierce beast.
Giant Rock Valley, the border of the Extreme Wilderness of the Eastern Region.
There was a continuous range of low ancient mountains. Under one of the ancient mountains, there were many ancient trees, green vines hanging down, and clear streams. If there was no fierce beast with flesh and blood splattering on the side, it would be a beautiful scene indeed.
Xiao Chen sat on the Pegasus without looking at the fierce beast under his feet. After settling the matters of the Treasure Trove Building, he left Shi Ya and Elder Hua to guard the place. In addition to the shock of the Xuan Qing Army a few days ago, there was no need to worry about the safety of the Treasure Trove Building.
The Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood had disappeared. Although some cultivators had left the Great Wilderness, there were still some powerful ones who continued to rush towards the depths of the Dragon Mountain Range. Xiao Chen did not stay in Duanmu City to wait for news. Instead, he personally went to the Extreme Wilderness of the Eastern Region.
Since the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood had fled towards the depths of the Dragon Mountain Range, he planned to go south along the periphery of the Dragon Mountain Range. This way, he would directly enter the Eastern Region of the Fallen Dragon Territory. Even if there were any changes, with the speed of the Pegasus, he would still be able to rush back in time. At the same time, he would have to secretly protect the safety of the Fallen Dragon Territory.
Just as Xiao Chen expected, some experts had already entered the Fallen Dragon Territory. The tribes near the Eastern Domain were the first to bear the brunt.
These experts descended into the Fallen Dragon Territory unscrupulously, relying on their strength to bully the human tribes of the Fallen Dragon Territory at will.
The Gu Yuan Tribe was located in the northwest of the Fallen Dragon Territory, which was tens of thousands of miles away from the Eastern Region. It was impossible for them to respond. Fortunately, Qiu Hu rushed back in time and conveyed Xiao Chen's order.
Deep in the Dragon Mountain Range.
Tens of thousands of miles away, the continuous ancient mountains were tens of thousands of feet high. This was a real Desolate Ancient Forest. It was uninhabited, and there were countless dangers in it.
No one knew how many bones were buried in this natural cemetery. It was a paradise for ferocious beasts, and this area was the territory of the Dark Cerberus.
However, at this moment, the Dark Cerberus, whose strength had reached the peak of the Three Star Realm, had its three heads cut off from its neck. The flesh and blood of its body, which was two hundred feet long, had been sucked dry and turned into bones.
A thick stench of blood permeated the air, dyeing the surrounding ancient forest in a layer of blood red.
In the depths of the ancient forest, there were several figures moving. Some were filled with blood, as if they were soaked in blood. Some were like phantoms, as if they were between reality and illusion. There were even some with dense demonic aura and a single black horn on their bodies.
"The trash of the Blood Race really can't do anything right. They even wanted to sneak into the ancient city where the human race gathered and stir up trouble. However, they were seen through by the human race in just a day and even lost their lives. Not a single drop of blood escaped, let alone being reborn. Their souls have long been destroyed."
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the ancient forest.
"Black Horn, you're courting death. The matters of the Blood Race are not for you to lecture."
Immediately after, an angry voice came.
"Could it be that I'm wrong? Sneaking into the ancient human city to create chaos is something that everyone discussed. Not to mention completing the mission, you trash from the Blood Race even got yourself killed. If it was me, why would I need to hide like this? I could just kill my way in. The flesh and blood of the human race are the most delicious!"
Whoosh!
Gusts of chilly wind whistled, and the sharp voice interrupted the two quarreling voices.
"Enough!
This time, we've gathered together to attack the human race's combat divisions in the Desolate Border Region while their eyes are on the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood. We'll deal a heavy blow to the human race's strength. The plan has just begun, and you've already fallen into internal strife. Do you really think that this Ghost Marshal doesn't dare to kill? "
Dense ghost Qi filled the dark forest. Two ghostly green flames danced in the dark forest. Immediately, the entire ancient forest was filled with a chill and fell into silence.
