227: The birth of forbidden objects of heaven

Lu Chen's cultivation has now broken through to the Golden Core Realm, but the Magical Artifacts he can use are only a few ordinary Qi Refinement Stage Magical Artifacts, which, in the eyes of a Golden Core Cultivator, are nothing more than children's toys.

The Ranks of Magical Artifacts are divided into five grades: Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, Excellent Grade, Emperor Grade, Immortal Grade, and Divine Grade.

The higher the Rank, the more exponentially its power increases.

However, there has been no mention of Divine Grade Magical Artifacts on the Tianqi Continent, and even Immortal Grade Magical Artifacts are few and far between.

A level higher than Magical Artifacts are Spirit Treasures.

Spirit Treasures are divided into three Ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Human.

Human Rank Spirit Treasures are mostly replicas; although their power is great, they come with many side effects.

Earth Rank Spirit Treasures are comparable in power to Immortal Grade items, and some can even temporarily utilize the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Heaven Rank Spirit Treasures were mostly forged by ancient mighty figures using the Laws of Heaven and Earth as material, refined over tens of thousands of years, and each one contains world-destroying power.

Even more powerful than Heaven Rank Spirit Treasures are—chaos spirit treasures.

chaos spirit treasures were born at the dawn of creation, either left behind by ancient gods and demons or nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, and each one is enough to change the pattern of a world.

chaos spirit treasures cannot even be controlled by Nascent Soul Cultivators; generally, only those at the Soul Transformation Stage or above can master them.

Lu Chen knew that there were Magical Artifacts even more powerful than chaos spirit treasures!

Those were the heavenly dao forbidden items Lu Chen personally created!

If chaos spirit treasures contain the power of the Laws from the dawn of creation, then heavenly dao forbidden items can even change and twist the Laws!

It's time to retrieve his things!

Lu Chen cultivated assiduously for five years! He finally decided to descend the mountain!

When he went up the mountain, he was just a thirteen-year-old child; now, at eighteen, he has shed his youthful innocence, his figure is tall and straight like a pine, his muscle lines are smooth but not exaggerated, and every inch of his skin glows with a golden luster.

His face has also undergone a drastic transformation.

Previously, he was still childish; now, his features are distinct, his sword-like brows extend to his temples, and his eyes are as deep as an abyss.

Beneath his high nose bridge, his thin lips are pressed together, revealing a sense of determination and decisiveness.

His long hair, black as ink, is casually tied behind his head, with a few strands gently fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of unrestrained elegance.

"Young Lord?!"

Bai Jingjing had an important matter to report and happened to meet Lu Chen as he was descending the mountain!

In these five years, Bai Jingjing also Cultivated, reaching the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement, and had established an intelligence network, gathering many rabbit demons and fox demons who could transform into human form to help her collect information.

Bai Jingjing was so captivated by Lu Chen's handsome appearance that she completely forgot what she wanted to say, and her saliva almost drooled out.

Lu Chen coughed: "Is there anything?"

Bai Jingjing quickly reported: "Yes, yes, there is an important matter. Bai Qi of the Tianwu Dynasty, the Alliance Leader of the Crimson Flame Alliance, the Pavilion Master of the Profound Ice Pavilion, the Grand Elder of the Cihang Sect, and so on—at least ten Immortal Venerables of the Golden Core Stage—are contending with the Seven Great Demon Kings for an 'ancient Seal' that suddenly opened.

The Seal emanated a pressure no less than that of a Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure, causing celestial phenomena, with thunder and fire intertwining, lasting for seven days without ceasing.

The two sides fought for a full six months, resulting in mutual heavy losses! Seeing that if they continued to fight like this, they wouldn't get the treasure and everyone would die, so the two sides agreed to compete for the exotic treasure based on their own abilities, and no longer fight!"

Oh?

Lu Chen's eyes lit up!

Could it be that the heavenly dao forbidden item he left in the Southern Barbarian Lands has been found by them?!

Heh! Lu Chen was not worried about them getting there first.

Lu Chen had created a Hell-level dungeon for the heavenly dao forbidden item; with these Golden Core Cultivators, it would probably be very difficult to clear!

Bai Jingjing continued: "Wanxiang City, as one of the three major powers in the Southern Barbarian Lands, also obtained the qualification to enter the treasure vault. Originally, Chu Yu was supposed to go in, but Wan Hongxiang strongly objected, believing that Chu Yu's current strength would be suicidal to enter; Chu Yu felt that this treasure vault would surely produce treasures that would affect the world's pattern, and was unwilling to give up like this, so he asked me to ask you if you would be willing to enter the treasure vault on his behalf!"

Lu Chen's mouth curved: "That's exactly what I intended! Haha! Tell Chu Yu not to worry about the treasure vault; let him focus on attacking the Tianwu Dynasty, that is his stage!"

If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Yu should eventually face Liu Bang in a decisive battle in the Tianwu Dynasty.

Unless there is a powerful Cultivator who can sever the chain of Karma, to cut off fate.

Whoosh!

Lu Chen transformed into a golden light and flew directly into the sky!

Bai Jingjing stared in disbelief at Lu Chen, who ascended to the heavens in one step: "Young Lord, has he already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm? He flies so fast? My goodness, Foundation Establishment at eighteen, this is unprecedented on the entire Tianqi Continent!"

Bai Jingjing became even more determined to cling to Lu Chen's thigh!

In recent years, Bai Jingjing always felt a sense of panic, a premonition of ill omen, getting closer and closer...Southern Barbarian Secret Realm · Black Abyss Valley.

The human faction included Bai Qi of the Tianwu Dynasty, Blazing Heaven Lord of the Crimson Flame Alliance, Madam Shuang of the Profound Ice Pavilion, Great Master Hui Ming, the Grand Elder of the Cihang Sect, Night Rakshasa of the Blood Yin Sect, as well as the Loose Cultivator Poison King Old Monster Mo, Thunder King Lei Xingming, and the founders of two Jianghu Schools: Iron Maniac of the Iron Blood Gang and Azure Proud of the Azure Dragon Martial Arts Academy!

Among them, Great Master Hui Ming was in the Late Golden Core Stage, Iron Maniac and Azure Proud were at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and the rest were in the Early Golden Core Stage.

Old Monster Mo's face was gloomy: "Great Master Hui Ming, you are already in the Late Golden Core Stage, and you still contend with us Juniors for Opportunity?!"

"Amitabha!" Hui Ming said indifferently, "My Cihang Sect's outer Guanyin Hall was destroyed by a child named Lu Chen, and Ge Hong, the City Lord of Feiyun City, whom we painstakingly cultivated for thirty years, was killed, as was the Ghost-Faced Protector. This is simply a slap in the face of our Cihang Sect; but I didn't expect this child to be so cunning, actually taking everyone from his village and fleeing to the Southern Barbarian Lands. This Venerable pursued him all the way to the Southern Barbarian Lands, and unexpectedly happened to meet Benefactor Bai Qi, who invited this Venerable to contend for the treasure together, and this Venerable could only reluctantly agree!"

Heh! Old Monster Mo was truly straightforward and didn't humor Hui Ming: "Your Cihang Sect is truly hypocritical, babbling on and on, trying to deceive a three-year-old child. I heard that Lu Chen is at most in the Qi Refinement Realm; do you, a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator, really need to personally intervene? I think the Tianwu Dynasty and your Cihang Sect are colluding, wanting to monopolize the treasure!"

Hui Ming finally couldn't keep up the act; his calm face twisted into a snarl, and the golden light on his body turned black: "Old Monster Mo! Loose lips sink ships! This Venerable advises you to speak less, or else this Venerable will make sure you can't even enter the treasure vault's door."

Old Monster Mo was not intimidated at all: "Oh, you're angry, haha! Come on, come kill me! Do you think I'm afraid of you just because you're in the Late Golden Core Stage? At worst, we'll die together!"

Old Monster Mo was a notorious Poison King on the Tianqi Continent; although his cultivation was in the Early Golden Core Stage, he had once used poison to kill a Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and the poisons he refined were incurable throughout the world, making even Late Golden Core Stage Cultivators somewhat wary.

Madam Shuang of the Profound Ice Pavilion: "Alright, stop arguing! We haven't even entered the treasure vault yet, and we're already fighting amongst ourselves. If we go in, won't the Yao Race defeat us one by one?!"

Thunder King Lei Xingming looked at Madam Shuang with a obsessed expression: "Madam Shuang is right! We have signed a blood oath; we cannot casually attack Alliance members. We must stand united against external threats!"
