Chapter 7600
Breakthrough
A massive amount of information instantly flooded into Xiao Chen's mind, crystal clear, including the refining principles, activation methods, and power characteristics of the Jade Pipa.
Various application techniques were also etched into his mind like a brand.
That is a jade pipa... one of Mo Lihai's signature magical artifacts, with boundless power. It can use sound to repel enemies and kill people invisibly. It is a treasure from ancient times.
"This is a gift for you."
Mo Lihai looked at him, his tone carrying a hint of reluctance, yet unwavering determination.
"With your current strength, you are capable of activating it. Although you cannot unleash its full power, it is enough to deal with most enemies."
Once you refine the Myriad Thunder Essence Gold and absorb the extraterrestrial spiritual energy within, your cultivation will definitely break through your current realm and reach a new height.
"At that time, you need to resolve the troubles in the central region as quickly as possible, then return to the western region for secluded cultivation and focused training to prepare for future crises."
Xiao Chen closed his eyes, carefully sensing the information in his mind. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them, and solemnly nodded to Mo Lihai:
"I'll remember that, thank you, Mo Lihai. I will definitely become stronger as soon as possible, and I won't let you down or fail to live up to the expectations of you four brothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's soul slowly dissipated, and his consciousness returned to reality.
Inside the quiet room, Qin Xianglan was still lying by the bed, fast asleep, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her brows tightly furrowed.
Her face still bore traces of wet tears, making her look pitiful and evoking a sense of sympathy.
Looking at her sleeping face, Xiao Chen's eyes softened. He slowly reached out and gently pressed his fingertips on the acupoints on the back of her neck, his movements gentle so as not to wake her.
Qin Xianglan let out a muffled groan, her body twitched slightly, and then she fell into a deep sleep, never to wake up again...
Xiao Chen knew that what he was about to do should not be known to Qin Xianglan, nor did he want her to worry about him anymore.
Xiao Chen carefully picked her up, his movements as gentle as if he were protecting a rare treasure. He gently placed her on the soft wooden bed, covered her with the quilt, and tucked her in.
Then he turned around, gently closed the door, walked out of the meditation room, and headed step by step toward the main hall of the Black Dragon Temple.
He knew that the Black Dragon Taoist's rescue of him was not simply because he "suited his tastes"; this legendary master must have his own purpose.
Now, he needs to find the Black Dragon Taoist to figure out everything. At the same time, he also needs to refine the Myriad Thunder Essence Gold as soon as possible to improve his strength and prepare for the crisis a month from now.
The main hall of Heilong Temple was empty and desolate, with a high dome, blue brick floor, and a faint fragrance of sandalwood and herbs in the air.
Only one eternal lamp burned quietly in the very center of the hall, its flickering light illuminating the empty space.
The long shadows cast by the wind added a touch of antiquity and solemnity, making even the sound of the wind seem exceptionally clear.
Xiao Chen walked slowly to the center of the main hall, sat cross-legged, his aura calm, and then slowly raised his hand to take out the piece of Ten Thousand Thunder Refined Gold from his robes...
The dark blue metal was smooth and lustrous, shimmering with a faint halo. As soon as it came off his clothes, it felt slightly warm in his palm.
A pure yet violent aura quietly spread out, intertwining with the sandalwood incense in the main hall.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, his expression became extremely solemn, and his mind became completely calm, free from any distracting thoughts. He slowly circulated the remaining spiritual energy in his body and began to refine this ancient and rare gold.
Strands of spiritual energy flowed into the Myriad Thunder Refined Gold like streams, carefully guiding the immense energy contained within. Just as Mo Lihai had said, that energy was both violent and pure; the moment it was drawn into his body, it broke free from the constraints of spiritual energy.
Like a wild horse that had broken free, it rampaged through his meridians, causing them to tremble slightly and sending waves of sharp pain wherever it went.
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, enduring the excruciating pain in his meridians. With his strong willpower, he guided the raging energy little by little, slowly circulating and refining it along the predetermined meridian pathways.
Once, twice, three times...
After an unknown amount of time, the darkness outside the window gradually faded, and a faint light appeared on the horizon. The violent energy that had been rampaging through his meridians was finally completely tamed by him.
Like a docile lamb, it slowly merged into his dantian, nourishing his damaged dantian and meridians.
"boom……!"
A muffled roar suddenly emanated from Xiao Chen's body, causing the ever-burning lamps in the main hall to sway slightly and flicker.
Xiao Chen felt a jolt throughout his body as an unprecedentedly powerful force surged forth from his dantian.
Like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable, it instantly broke through a bottleneck in his body, and an even more powerful aura quietly emanated from him.
Fourth level of Divine Power Realm!
But this is far from over.
The energy in his dantian continued to surge wildly, unstoppable, and continued to push towards higher realms. His meridians were bulging with energy, but there was no longer any stinging pain. Instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Fifth floor!
Sixth floor!
Finally, the moment the energy broke through the sixth level of the Divine Power Realm, the surging power gradually subsided, slowly settling in the dantian and transforming into a purer and more condensed energy that circulated slowly.
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing the dimness of the hall like two cold beams of light. The aura around him had undergone a dramatic transformation...
Calm, majestic, and domineering, it carries a chilling pressure.
He looked down at his hands; all the wounds on his body had completely healed, and his skin was smooth with no trace of injury.
Even the previously damaged meridians were completely repaired by the energy of the Myriad Thunder Essence Gold, becoming even wider and more resilient than before.
Thirty percent of the immortal power within his body has been successfully transformed into divine essence...
It was a higher level of energy than spiritual power or immortal power. It was pure white in color and contained immense power. Its power far surpassed that of the past, and it circulated more smoothly and rapidly.
Behind him, the illusory figure of the God of War, which had been appearing and disappearing intermittently, had become more solid, its size doubling in size.
He was surrounded by a faint golden light, his eyes were cold, his aura was imposing, and he exuded a terrifying pressure, as if he could descend at any moment and crush all enemies.
Xiao Chen clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body. A confident smile appeared on his lips... He was now more than twice as strong as before, and his strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
If he were to encounter an opponent like Li Gengjin again, even if he only possessed ten percent of his strength, he would not need to use the Reverse Scale Sword or rely on the power of the deity within the Soul Tower.
With just the divine energy within his body, he could easily kill it, without even giving the opponent a chance to attack. (End of Chapter)
