146: I was hit by my uncle

There was no need to doubt; with the strength and discernment of the two Protectors, they clearly sensed it the moment Lu Chen's mana completely filled his Physical Body and began pouring into his companion Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers.

Although the two Protectors couldn't see or sense the whereabouts of Lu Chen's companion Spirit Treasure, if it could contain his mana without external assistance, the only possibility was a companion Spirit Treasure.

Furthermore, mana contained through external means is useless for forging a Dao Embryo.

If forging a Dao Embryo had such simple shortcuts, there wouldn't be three-inch false Dao Embryos among cultivators in this world.

"Truly capable of hiding and enduring!"

If it were any other cultivator, they would have likely wanted to spread the news throughout the world and let everyone know their name as a Heavenly Pride the moment they stepped onto the path of cultivation and learned about companion Spirit Treasures.

But Lu Chen, well, he hasn't revealed anything about his companion Spirit Treasure, not even a tiny bit of information, until now.

So what if Protector Gu Wenzhao and Protector Fan Yan Bo are already certain that Lu Chen has a companion Spirit Treasure?

As for what kind of Spirit Treasure it is, or what type of Spirit Treasure it is, they haven't even seen a hint. There are countless types of companion Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures; who could possibly guess what Lu Chen's companion Spirit Treasure is?

Time flowed by, and after a few more days, the spiritual stones borrowed by the two Protectors were depleted again.

During this time, the three Yin God-level malevolent corpses were completely nurtured and had become Divine Travel Dao Soldiers.

At the same time, the nine Five Elements Dao Soldiers that had devoured the six Aspect Masters of the Twelve Phase Sect, as well as the Yin Gods of three high-level cultivators from the Demonic Path, also successfully advanced to become Divine Travel Dao Soldiers.

By now, Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers were completely at full capacity, totaling two hundred and twenty-five. There was one more Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldier that was not subject to the capacity limit, making it two hundred and twenty-six Dao Soldiers.

Among them, there were twenty-eight Divine Travel Dao Soldiers comparable to Yin Gods, and two more were still in the process of advancing towards becoming Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers comparable to Yang Gods and had not yet finished. The remaining one hundred and ninety-six were all Five Elements Dao Soldiers comparable to Dao Embryos.

"Little Lu, you don't need to worry about not having enough spiritual stones anymore; we've arrived. Go and get the Earth Dragon Liquid yourself; it's guaranteed to be enough for you to successfully complete your Dao Embryo advancement," Protector Fan Yan Bo's voice drifted lightly, interrupting Lu Chen's thoughts.

'Arrived?'

Lu Chen returned to his senses from his cultivation, no longer dwelling on accumulating mana and breaking through the nine-inch-nine limit of the Dao Embryo.

If it were an ordinary cultivator who had reached this point, they naturally couldn't stop, otherwise, the surging mana throughout their body would be enough to cause their Physical Body to collapse, and even a slight movement would likely result in severe injury from the backlash of their own mana.

But Lu Chen was fine; he could stop at any time.

His strong Physical Body was one thing, but more importantly, his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin was impossible to fill, completely impossible to fill, let alone the consequences of mana surging.

To Lu Chen, that was nothing short of a joke.

He actually wanted his own mana to fill up to the point where he couldn't stop at will, but unfortunately, it just wouldn't fill up!

He was also very helpless.

Then, he could only rely on that Heaven And Earth Treasure, the 'Earth Dragon Liquid'!

He opened his eyes and looked around, only to see the Sky-Breaking Boat stopped before a star.

Compared to Azure Underworld, this star was undoubtedly more than half smaller, probably less than one-third the size of Azure Underworld.

However, although his cultivation was not bad, he still couldn't see the specific scene on the star tens of thousands of miles away, as he was still in the universe starry sky at this moment.

Gu Wenzhao raised his hand and waved, and immediately, divine light rippled before his eyes, quickly transforming into a massive Mystic Light Mirror: "Look closely, this is where the Earth Dragon Liquid is located. Just go straight down from here, and you'll see it."

Lu Chen glanced over, only to see the scene on the star reflected in the Mystic Light Mirror. The area shown was the lowest point of an Abyssal.

This Abyssal was thousands of feet deep and extremely wide, but the trees were lush, and sunlight was difficult to penetrate, making it appear somewhat dim and gloomy.

At this moment, a faint halo was rising from the bottom of this Abyssal, occasionally spreading. Although the distance was great, Lu Chen could vaguely sense that the halo must have something extraordinary about it.

Because the bottom of this Abyssal had already been occupied by layers upon layers of cultivators, all seemingly attracted by that halo.

"Is this something with an owner?" Although he had guessed earlier, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask another question.

If it truly had an owner, he would first be polite and then resort to force. If not, he would directly seize it. Heaven And Earth Treasures have never belonged to the virtuous, but to the strong.

Simply put, whoever grabs it, it belongs to them.

Protector Gu Wenzhao smiled and said, "There is indeed a Sect in that Abyssal. Logically speaking, since this Earth Dragon Liquid appeared here, it belongs to this Sect."

"Unfortunately, this Sect is not strong and probably can't protect the Earth Dragon Liquid."

He raised a hand and pointed: "Look at those countless cultivators; most of them are probably heading for the Earth Dragon Liquid. Once the Earth Dragon Liquid completely solidifies, that's when conflict will arise. At that time, whoever snatches it, it will be theirs."

Lu Chen suddenly understood.

He understood. The Abyssal has an owner, but they can't protect the Earth Dragon Liquid. In the end, they still have to rely on snatching it. Only what can be seized is truly theirs.

"Go! Don't be afraid of causing trouble; with the two of us here, we'll ensure your safety!" Protector Fan Yan Bo waved his hand, and Lu Chen felt an astonishing mana protecting his body, sending him plummeting towards the Abyssal on the star at an incredibly fast speed, as if he had turned into a massive meteor.

Wait!

I don't want to fight head-on, Shibo!

Lu Chen inexplicably felt like he had been hit over the head by his own Protector Shibo. What was the meaning of just sending him directly into the crowd in the Abyssal without asking?

Was he the kind of person who would confront things head-on?

He had the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin and over two hundred Divine Travel and Five Elements Dao Soldiers comparable to Yin Gods and Dao Embryos. With such strength and presence, he could just move a finger, and his Dao Soldiers would naturally help him seize the Earth Dragon Liquid. Where did he need to show himself in person?

It was simply beneath his status!

Alright, the main reason was that he was afraid of some sneak attack from someone hidden in the dark. After all, it was safer to remain hidden behind the crowd without showing himself.
