132: Supernatural powers help practice (you can watch it now)

Because he had expectations, Lu Chen immediately had the Dao Soldiers in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin search the body of this demonic cultivator surrounded by eerie ghost energy.

As for why he didn't do it himself?

Heaven knows what other messy things these demonic cultivators had hidden on them, Lu Chen was too lazy to guess, it was better to just let the Dao Soldiers handle it directly.

Anyway, his Dao Soldiers are neither living nor dead, any poisons or sneak attacks are completely ineffective against them, safely eliminating all potential dangers.

After taking out a storage ring and a deeply hidden qiankun bag, and rummaging through them, Lu Chen didn't pay attention to the rare ancient elixirs and Materials, nor did he look at the eerie ghostly bone sword artifact, but instead looked directly at a black flag shrouded in ghostly mist, and a dark ink-colored wooden bottle.

"As expected, there are ghosts!" Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised.

Because the moment the flag and the wooden bottle appeared, the Dao Soldiers in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin reacted almost simultaneously, it was that familiar and strong craving, a craving for ghosts.

Without any hesitation, the flag was torn apart by the Dao Soldiers, and the ink-colored wooden bottle was also crushed. Thousands upon thousands of ghosts rushed out with piercing wails, their ghost energy condensing into clouds, making the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin seem to turn into a gloomy Hell.

"Ultimately... this King... has broken free!" An old ghost dozens of feet tall whispered towards the sky, its ghost energy surging.

It could no longer remember how long it had been trapped in this flag by that damned demonic cultivator, nor how long it had been enslaved by that damned demonic cultivator!

Fortunately, Heaven does not block the path of 'ghosts'. Some time ago, for some unknown reason, that damned demonic cultivator suddenly perished, and the Restrictions in the flag gradually went out of control. These Yin Ghosts trapped within the flag regained their consciousness from enslavement.

Until today, for some unknown reason, that flag was suddenly torn apart, and these enslaved and trapped Yin Ghosts completely escaped their predicament.

From then on, the sea is vast for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly. This great Human Realm, with countless Mortals, will all become their blood sustenance to take as they please.

"Cackle, cackle, seeing the light of day again, we should celebrate with a blood sacrifice of ten thousand people!" Eerie ghosts covered the sky and earth, like a chaotic dance of demons.

"Heh heh, ten thousand isn't enough, ten million, a million isn't too many!"

"Hmm? Why is there no heaven and earth here, no sun, moon, or stars?"

"Damn it, this isn't the Great World!"

"Where is this place?"

After the initial frenzy, the scene of chaotic demons suddenly seemed to have the pause button pressed by an invisible large hand, followed by surprise, panic, and unease.

"Wait, what are these things?" The old ghost, dozens of feet tall, was suddenly startled.

Breaking through the hazy mist, what appeared before their eyes were one after another figures glowing with dark golden light, like iron towers.

And for some unknown reason, upon seeing these figures glowing with dark golden light, the old ghost's heart inexplicably trembled.

This was a fear from instinct, from the depths of the Soul, as if a mouse had met a cat, or a rabbit had met an eagle, met a fierce tiger, this was the suppression from a natural predator.

"Poof!" One of the figures, glowing with cold dark golden light, spoke indifferently. With just an open mouth and an inhale, the old ghost, dozens of feet tall, discovered in horror that a terrifying suction force was coming, impossible to escape, impossible to avoid.

"No..." The old ghost was terrified, where was the slightest bit of arrogance he had upon emerging? But as soon as he opened his mouth, it was too late, he had already been swallowed by that Dao Soldier.

Subsequently, over two hundred Dao Soldiers advanced silently, swarming forward. Although there were countless fewer of them compared to the thousands upon thousands of ghosts, they charged like fierce tigers entering a flock of sheep, instantly scattering and devouring the thousands upon thousands of ghosts.

Wails and howls of ghosts rose and fell, filled with fear and panic, but these sounds appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. Along with them, the swarms of ghosts also vanished.

Among the more than two hundred Dao Soldiers, the Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers had the highest priority and devoured the most ghosts. The rest were prioritized by special Dao Soldiers. Overall, all the Dao Soldiers gained something.

It was also after the hundred ghosts were devoured that Lu Chen suddenly felt a sense of unobstructed smoothness.

He could easily merge into the Dao Soldiers and perceive everything about them.

Strongly suppressing the urgency to quickly merge into the Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers and perceive the Divine Power, Lu Chen continued to have the Dao Soldiers advance and perform the great task of searching the bodies of Xiahou Mang and the other evil cultivator. However, the things they eventually found were just ordinary.

They were nothing more than artifacts, elixirs, spiritual stones, and the like, which weren't of much help to Lu Chen.

Because Dongming Sect had everything from artifacts to elixirs and spiritual stones, even better ones. However, they could be given to the Sect, and he could probably exchange them for quite a bit of Merit Points.

After it was completely finished, the Dao Soldiers naturally spewed flames, burning the three corpses into ashes. Even the ashes were sent a thousand zhang underground by the Dao Soldiers Lu Chen dispatched.

Finally, Lu Chen slowly merged his consciousness into the Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers and began to perceive the Divine Power, "Limitless Sky Splitting Hammer".

Time flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another three or four days passed. Lu Chen's gains were significant. Even during the process of perceiving the Divine Power, his cultivation loosened, and he subtly felt as though he was about to break through to the Dao Infant Realm.

"When one method is understood, ten thousand methods are understood. This path of Divine Power is indeed incomparable to ordinary techniques!" Lu Chen exclaimed.

No wonder these Heavenly Pride born alongside Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures have cultivation speeds far exceeding ordinary cultivators. Favored by Heaven and Earth, born with Spirit Treasures, their Aptitude is extraordinary, and they also have Divine Powers that are most suitable for themselves. Perceiving them can also accelerate cultivation. It's hard for their cultivation speed not to be fast.

However, comparatively, Lu Chen felt that his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin was even more useful.

Just like Xiahou Mang, the owner of the Mixed Gold Shattering Hammer, who cultivated into a Blood Qi Divine Spirit at the exaggerated speed of sixty years, reaching the Body Refinement Yin Spirit Realm.

But this kind of speed was far from enough to be impressive in front of Lu Chen.

He had only been cultivating for nearly a year so far, yet his Body Refinement cultivation had already reached the Yin God realm of a Blood Qi Divine Spirit, and even his Qi Cultivation strength was about to step into the Dao Embryo, which was immeasurably faster than Xiahou Mang.

A Yin Spirit Realm Heavenly Pride like Xiahou Mang, who was also born alongside a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, he could beat ten of them.

No exaggeration, ten is really possible to beat.

Especially after having the Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers, the Mixed Gold Shattering Hammer, ten might not even be enough for him to fight.

It's possible that even an ordinary First Tribulation Yang God might have to take a few hammer blows.

"Unfortunately, Divine Power is Divine Power after all!"

Even with the Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers present, Lu Chen had only grasped the basics over the past few days. It would still take time to fully comprehend and even use it.

On this day, Lu Chen left his cave abode, and encountered Zhou Jiqing, another True Disciple of Third Elder, visiting.

"Lu Senior Brother, Master asked me to ask you if you want to go participate in the clearing of the Twelve Phase Sect remnants and the Demonic Path evildoers?" Zhou Jiqing seemed in high spirits, appearing somewhat eager to try.

It was not difficult to see that he would definitely be part of the operation to clear out the Twelve Phase Sect remnants and the Demonic Path evildoers.

Lu Chen's heart stirred: "Are Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin from Flying Immortal Sect also going?"

Zhou Jiqing nodded: "Of course. Not only are these two Heavenly Pride going, but even the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode from Tianyuan Grotto-heaven will be going personally."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiqing's gaze towards Lu Chen inexplicably held a bit more fervor and longing.

A Heavenly Pride born alongside a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure!

Yet, he was thoroughly suppressed by his own Senior apprentice-brother during the Nanchu Grand Wash, and even had to defer to his own Senior apprentice-brother. Especially that Heavenly Pride Pang Feifeng from Flying Immortal Sect, whenever he mentioned his own Senior apprentice-brother Lu Chen, his instinctive reaction revealed a hint of fear, and... resistance!

He seemed extremely resistant to being together with his own Senior apprentice-brother Lu Chen.

Zhou Jiqing guessed that it was likely during the Nanchu Grand Wash that his own Senior apprentice-brother Lu Chen completely suppressed Pang Feifeng with his incomparably overbearing and formidable strength, leaving a psychological shadow.

If it were before, which of these Heavenly Pride born alongside Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures wasn't arrogant?

How could they obediently appear at Dongming Sect, actively exert themselves for Dongming Sect, and act as Dongming Sect's free thugs!

Don't even think about it!

Even Dongming Sect's True Disciples were never seen as important by these Heavenly Pride!

But now, these Heavenly Pride who have come to Dongming Sect are one more well-behaved than the last. Even when they see ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, they are extremely courteous, afraid of causing Dongming Sect any displeasure.

For all of this, Lu Chen's contribution was immense.

"When do we depart?" Lu Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Looking at it this way, South Chu can be considered to have completely fallen under the control of Dongming Sect.

And it should be, after all, Dongming Sect's strength is evident, suppressing a South Chu is effortlessly easy.

"We will depart shortly, Master will personally lead." Zhou Jiqing replied.

"Let's go."

Below Doujian Peak, Lu Chen saw the massive lineup for the clearing of the Twelve Phase Sect remnants and the Demon Dao.

Doujian Peak has over a thousand Disciples, the lowest cultivation being the Penetrating Aperture Realm.

Doujian Peak had three Dao Infant Realm Elders, including Zhang Kui and Elder Lu Zifu, and Peak Lord Third Elder was also present. Additionally, Zhang Bihai and Shi Wenlan, two True Disciples, and three registered Disciples were all there.

Furthermore, True Disciples Luo Tingwu and Yang Qingpeng, whom he had met at the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, also came, each bringing over a thousand Disciples and followers.

Finally, there was the Yang God Great Cultivator from Tianyuan Grotto-heaven, the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode, as well as Pang Feifeng from Flying Immortal Sect and Chu Xianyin from the South Chu Royal Family, two Yin Spirit Realm Heavenly Pride.

When Lu Chen and Zhou Jiqing arrived, everyone's gaze unconsciously swept over, finally settling on Lu Chen.

Among them, Pang Feifeng's gaze flickered, and after just one look, he quickly moved it away.

Chu Xianyin's lips curved into a shallow smile, and she nodded in greeting.

Third Elder was lost in thought, unsure of what he was thinking.

Zhang Bihai and Shi Wenlan, these two True Disciples, were quite happy.

Finally, there were Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu, the two True Disciples stationed in Yuan Province and Qing Province.

Their expressions were complex, and their gaze towards Lu Chen even carried solemnity.

Has this little guy, who once shone brightly in the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, actually grown to this stage now?!

Even Xiahou Mang, the Heavenly Pride from Tianyuan Grotto-heaven who was born alongside a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, was killed by him.

Does that mean that if they were to fight him, Lu Chen... could even kill True Disciples like them?

It shouldn't be a question, but an affirmation, a certainty.

After all, they were only in the Yin Spirit Realm.

Although they considered their talent to be not bad, being fellow Yin Gods, they had to admit that they were ultimately no match for those Heavenly Pride!

"Brother Luo, we meet again!" Luo Tingwu secretly shook his head, then took the initiative to greet him.

Although they were fellow Disciples, in the cultivation world, strength is respected, and there are no exceptions anywhere.

Moreover, Lu Chen and they did not have the same Master, so they naturally wouldn't follow seniority.

Addressing him as Brother Lu already meant regarding Lu Chen as a fellow Yin God Great Cultivator to befriend on equal footing.

And these True Disciples were of the same generation as Inner Sect Elders like Third Elder.

Invisibly, Lu Chen's seniority was raised again, already equivalent to Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Sixth Elder.

As for Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder, forget about them, because these three old fellows, if nothing unexpected happened, should have all achieved the rank of Yang God Great Cultivators, and were long incomparable to Yin Gods.

"Brother Luo." Lu Chen inexplicably felt that Luo Tingwu's words were quite pleasant to hear.

Indeed, people love to hear such things.

"Good kid, I knew your future achievements wouldn't be low, but I didn't expect that in just a few months since we last met, you would have already achieved such incredible accomplishments!" Yang Qingpeng, who had always been unruly, stared at Lu Chen for a long time, finally unable to help but speak: "Then, let's call you Brother Lu!"

There were many emotions in his words, but in the end, they could only be condensed into the two words 'Brother Lu'.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly: "Brother Yang."

Third Elder, watching from the side, fell deeper into thought.

How is this seniority getting more and more strange?

He, the old man, interacted with Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu, the two True Disciples, as equals. Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu interacted with Lu Chen as equals. And he was Lu Chen's Master!

So, Lu Chen is the same generation as him, his Master?!

Or is it that Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu inexplicably lowered their generation by one?

After much thought, Third Elder suddenly coughed lightly: "Disciple, come here." He beckoned towards Lu Chen.

"Master." Lu Chen respectfully greeted him.

Third Elder nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the crowd and spoke lightly: "This time, my Disciple Lu Chen will be the leader, acting on my behalf. Afterwards, all matters concerning the encirclement and suppression of the Twelve Phase Sect remnants and Demonic Path evildoers will be decided by my Disciple Lu Chen."

Hearing the two True Disciples call him Brother Lu felt strange. He didn't want to end up, as his Master, having to call him Brother Lu too.

Third Elder felt that to preserve his dignity as a Master, it was better not to go on this trip.

Showing off is not suitable for an old man his age.

The main reason is that his Disciple Lu Chen, every time he makes a move, always moves and shocks people. Seeing such scenes too often, especially for him as the Master, is not appropriate!

What if this kid suddenly erupts and slays a Yang God? What about his old face then?

Your Disciple has already killed a Yang God, and you, the Master, haven't even killed one. How can you face anyone?

Of course, he couldn't face anyone. Third Elder is also someone who cares about face!

So, not being present means it has nothing to do with him, the Master.

As for Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu, these two True Disciples, since you are interacting as equals, being slightly shocked by Lu Chen is understandable, right?

So, this stimulating experience will be left to the two True Disciples.

"Master, add..." Lu Chen's eyes were quick and his mouth was faster. He instantly wanted to send a sound transmission to keep his Master, saying 'add money'.

But Third Elder was faster. Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared from the spot, not giving Lu Chen a chance to speak at all.

Add money?

I finally managed to trick the Sect Leader into killing Grand Demons, and only two Yang Gods are left, I gave them all to you.

After the Qing Ming Great Cleansing, if you ask me again, what am I going to give you?

Gotta go, gotta go!
