Chapter 552 - 552: 550. The Joke of the Past Has Come True
Perhaps, he still needed to have a higher cultivation base to truly understand the technique.
After breaking through to the 17th level, he could vaguely feel that his
connection with the Demon Venerable’s remains and the dark grotto-heaven
was even closer.
In the long run, he believed that the progress would be more and more gratifying.
However, the key was that he had to do it as soon as possible.
There were only two years left until the next Red Dust Star Brilliance.
Time waits for no man. If he couldn’t resolve the battle with Young Master Tian, everything would be in vain.
Especially since the opponent they were going to fight was not just Young Master Tian.
He had to seize the time and improve himself as soon as possible.
On the one hand, he could better control the power of the Demon Lord’s remains. On the other hand, if he could truly control the treasures refined in the giant cauldron, it would undoubtedly greatly increase his confidence.
To put it in an exaggerated way, there were only about 20 powerhouses in the mortal world, and all of them had died in front of Chen Luoyang. The dark gold nectar accumulated in the white jade bottle was only enough for him to use the Demon Venerable’s remains for about 20 moves.
Would 20 moves be enough to deal with Young Master Tian, who was also the ruler of a realm like the Demon Lord?
Chen Luoyang had indeed bought some time for him, but Young Master Tian of the Xihe Realm would probably be even more energetic by then, right?
At that time, there might be Heavenly Buddhas, Dao Monarchs, and Ming Zun eyeing them covetously. Chen Luoyang had no choice but to be wary.
At this time, he had to think of a way to make this treasure that the Demon
Venerable could not refine in the past become another thing he could rely on.
However, this was quite difficult.
The simplest question was that a clever housewife could not cook a meal without rice.
The level of this treasure was obviously very high, so high that it was difficult for other treasures in the mortal world to reach.
Chen Luoyang wanted to refine it. What kind of materials would be worthy of
He looked around the Dark Paradise, but other than the huge cauldron itself, he didn’t find any other treasures left behind by the Demon Venerable.
It was still difficult to determine if the Demon Venerable’s savings had been completely spent on this half-finished product or if there was another place where the treasure was hidden. Chen Luoyang could only figure out the treasure while searching for clues.
To him, everything was in the service of the upcoming battle with Young Master Tian.
There was no harm in not completely refining this treasure.
Right now, it was enough for him to control it.
Chen Luoyang went to the side of the huge cauldron and silently observed it. He could sense that it seemed to be in a deep slumber, but it was filled with an extremely ferocious and ruthless aura.
After pondering for a moment, he stretched out a hand and pressed it on the cauldron.
In an instant, it was as if there was an abyss that directly swallowed his spirit.
In a daze, his soul seemed to have left his body and was sucked into the three-legged cauldron.
Within the cauldron, a dark ball of light floated quietly.
In the light ball, there was an existence that looked like a black pagoda, faintly discernible.
The pagoda was incomplete and incomplete. Even its shape was irregular, making people wonder if it was a pagoda.
However, the terrifying aura from before came from this black pagoda.
Chen Luoyang’s soul was being taken away as though it was about to be sucked into it.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
The Demon Lord’s remains outside the cauldron seemed to tremble slightly.
Due to this influence, the flames of the black pagoda seemed to stop for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Luoyang successfully stabilized his mind and withdrew his divine soul back into his body.
He released his hand from the three-legged cauldron and meditated to stabilize his mind.
Although it was a little dangerous just now, Chen Luoyang was already familiar with it.
It was this experience that allowed him to understand the Demon Lord’s remains and the Dark Grotto-heaven more and more.
After sorting out his thoughts and concluding his gains, Chen Luoyang let out a long breath and left the Central Main Hall.
In the side hall, one could see that Bie Donglai was also silently cultivating.
He might be very unorthodox, but as the youngest powerhouse besides the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Bie Donglai’s talent and potential were undoubtedly high.
Chen Luoyang could clearly sense that the other party seemed to have gained some enlightenment after staying in the Dark Grotto-heaven for more than half a year.
It was inspired by the aura left behind by the Demon Venerable in the Dark Grotto-heaven.
The other party’s cultivation realm was high enough, and his talent and comprehension were strong. Even if it was just a little inspiration, he could benefit endlessly.
It was always the hardest to improve.
Sometimes, this bit of inspiration might be the key to breaking through the bottleneck.
In addition, Bie Donglai already had a page of the Heavenly Book in his hands. Recently, he had been continuously studying it and had also improved.
Chen Luoyang suspected that the current Bie Donglai was perhaps only a step away from breaking through.
Chen Luoyang didn’t disturb the other party and went elsewhere.
In a group of halls far away from the Central Main Hall, Chen Luoyang headed to one of the main halls and arrived at the courtyard behind the main hall.
There, a white-robed girl was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
The young girl opened her eyes and saw Chen Luoyang. She stood up and bowed. “Cult Master Chen.”
“It seems that Miss Qing Qing has recovered well.” Chen Luoyang strolled leisurely in front of her and sized up Ying Qingqing, who lived alone here.
. It wasn’t just a good recovery.
Chen Fan’s face was calm, but he was speechless.
This was because Ying Qingqing was clearly at the eighteenth realm, the peak of the Martial Saint Realm.
Back in the Divine Lands, after she killed the Fusang Island Martial Saint with a single sword strike, her strength at the fifteenth level instantly fell to the sixth level.
The two memories that he had recovered were lost again.
However, after Chen Luoyang brought her to meet Sword Emperor Tao WangJi, she recovered a portion of her memories, and even the previous two portions slowly recovered.
As her memories recovered, her cultivation level also began to soar.
From Chen Luoyang’s point of view, the change in the other party’s cultivation shouldn’t be called an improvement. It should be like a recovery of memories. The growth of his realm was not gradual. Instead, it went from the sixth realm to the ninth realm, then to the twelfth realm, then to the fifteenth realm, and finally to the eighteenth realm. Each time, he would suddenly jump up a large step.
Her previous fall to the sixth level did not affect her rapid increase in cultivation strength after recovering three memories. She only stopped when she reached the peak of the Martial Saint Realm.
Chen was certain that the other party’s background was not simple, and he was fully suspicious that his true age was not what he looked like.
“Restored…lt’s still alright.” When Ying Qingqing heard Chen Luoyang’s words, she revealed a slightly confused expression.
She looked at the palace in the distant dark grotto-heaven in a daze. However, Chen Luoyang felt that her gaze was only focused on the darkness.
“Does this place make you uncomfortable?” Chen Luoyang asked indifferently.
The other party’s sword intent was in opposition to the Demon Venerable’s dark grotto-heaven. It was only natural for him to feel uncomfortable in such a place.
“No, this place is very good.” Ying Qingqing answered subconsciously.
After a slight pause, she said softly,” I’m not feeling well, but it’s very peaceful here. I’m fine here.
” No need. ” Chen Luoyang shook his head. ” If you just don’t wish to meet anyone, I can naturally arrange it for you. ‘ Ying Qingqing was silent.
Chen Luoyang looked at him quietly.
Since this Dark Grotto-heaven was built as the residence of a Demon Venerable, naturally, not just anyone could enter.
Unfortunately, there weren’t any servants to begin with, so it wasn’t easy for Chen Luoyang to make arrangements.
In fact, if he wasn’t here, there would usually only be two living people here.
One was from the East, and the other was Ying Qingqing.
The two sides did not even come into contact with each other.
During this half a year, Ying Qingqing was alone most of the time.
In this darkness where there was no sun, moon, or life.
However, Chen Luoyang could tell that the other party wasn’t lying.
She was indeed at peace here.
Or rather, compared to the mortal world outside, she was more at ease here.
“What did you do in the past that would affect your decision now?” Chen Luoyang casually sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. “”Are you worried that you will lose control?”
“I can control myself now, but I’m worried about the future,” Ying Qingqing said.
Chen Luoyang’s fingers tapped lightly on the stone table as he looked at the white-robed girl in front of him with interest.
“It seems like I was right.” He suddenly laughed.
Ying Qingqing pursed her lips when she heard this.
Chen Luoyang’s words when she was still in the Divine Lands appeared in her mind.
Have you ever thought that before you lost your memories, you might have been even more ruthless than me?
Then, he recalled some of his memories, and images flashed through his mind like a lantern.
That cold feeling enveloped her once again.
From Chen Luoyang’s point of view, Ying Qingqing’s eyes were in a daze and had no focus. Her body seemed to be trembling slightly as if she had fallen into a nightmare.
Chen Luoyang quietly looked at the other party, and his fingers that were tapping on the stone table suddenly paused.
The voice stopped abruptly.
Ying Qingqing came back to her senses.
Her face was slightly pale as she raised her head to look at Chen Luoyang and smiled weakly. “”Thank you, Cult Master Chen.”
Chen Luoyang’s gaze was calm as he shook his head gently at her.
Ying Qingqing’s body felt a little warmer. After a moment of silence, she softly said, “I … I killed a lot of people. I can’t remember who they were, but I can see a lot of people … I can’t remember why, but … However, I didn’t seem to have any hatred or anger at that time. I thought that they didn’t harm me or threaten me, but I…”
The young girl’s voice was intermittent. At this point, she finally couldn’t continue.
” Martial artist? ” Chen Luoyang’s expression remained unchanged. ” Martial artist or mortal? ”
“Martial artists, but I don’t think there’s a difference.” Ying Qingqing smiled bitterly.
“Yes.” “1 don’t take the initiative to kill mortals,” Chen Luoyang replied casually.
When Ying Qingqing heard this, she was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she continued, “It’s a blessing for the common people that Cult Master Chen has such a heart, but … It’s just .
Chen Luoyang looked at her. ” In a martial arts competition, it’s very common for people to kill me and I to kill people. You seem to be unable to accept this? ”
“I think it’s better if I don’t offend others if they don’t offend me,” said Ying Qingqing.
“I won’t attack unless others attack me? There’s nothing wrong with that.” Chen Luoyang nodded. ” However, there is a prerequisite. First, you must be able to defeat the other party. Only then will your words carry weight.. ‘
