322: Avatar, Starry Sky

But precisely because of this characteristic, if a True Disciple grows in the future, the entire Sect will also be rewarded.

If Chen Tianshu had first taken Lu Chen under his tutelage before vying for the position of True Disciple, it would obviously have been better.

However, from Chen Tianshu's words, it could already be heard that he, the old man, might have already dispelled the idea of taking Lu Chen as a disciple.

Regarding this, Jiang Daoqing, as a junior, found it inconvenient to say more and could only bow and leave.

On the peak of Doujian Peak, inside the palace.

Lu Chen was currently in seclusion cultivating.

After breaking through his cultivation and stabilizing it, Lu Chen still chose the quickest way to familiarize himself with his own strength.

Challenging the high tower with his Clone.

His Body Refinement had reached the Golden Body of Undying, and he possessed numerous Divine Powers. Even without a killing Spirit Treasure in hand, he was still formidable. Whether it was the Demon Clan Heavenly Pride or Human Race Heavenly Pride imprinted within the high tower, none were his match.

Even those Demon Clan Great Powers at the Nascent Soul Realm were beaten to disintegration by his Clone.

Afterward, Lu Chen had those Nascent Soul Realm Demon Clan Great Powers surround and attack him. Only then did Lu Chen show signs of being at a disadvantage.

But his Divine Powers were too comprehensive. His Physical Body was already strong, and he had the Yuan Tuo Dharma Body and Formless Divine Ring protecting him, along with the three offensive Divine Powers: Dividing Light Fleeting Moment, Great Sun Saber Light, and Star River Soul Forging. To be precise, the Yuan Tuo Dharma Body was also an offensive Divine Power.

With such enhancements, Lu Chen's own combat power was astonishingly strong.

More importantly, in terms of Divine Powers, Lu Chen made another Breakthrough.

For the Tenfold Spirit Body, he cultivated the eighth Clone.

And this Clone, Lu Chen did not use for comprehending Divine Powers, but directly entered the high tower, constantly battling the Demon Clan and Human Race Heavenly Pride imprinted on the high tower.

Whether it was the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, Shadow Kill Great Fiend, Dragon Wu Dao, etc., they all became whetstones for him to improve his actual combat power.

Not only was his cultivation improving, but his actual combat experience and combat power were also constantly advancing, always in a state of combat.

In addition, another one of Lu Chen's Clones made a significant Breakthrough in the comprehension of rules.

First, he newly comprehended the two major rule powers of Yin and Yang, and both entered the second layer. The Five Elements and Wind and Thunder advanced together, all entering the fifth layer. The three major rules of Void, Saber, and Sword reached the fourth layer.

A total of twelve major rule powers intertwined around Lu Chen's Yang God, making his Yang God extremely radiant, as if divine rings were added to his body, ascending to a divine throne.

One must know that normally, comprehending rules at the fifth layer was a level that only Faxiang Realm Great Experts could touch upon.

And the more rule powers one controlled, the stronger their strength would be.

Using the same Divine Powers and magic techniques, a creature with higher rule mastery will always be stronger than a creature with lower rule mastery, and significantly stronger. This is also one of the reasons why Lu Chen, upon first entering the Nascent Soul Realm, and even with a Clone possessing only 80% of his main body's strength, could defeat those Nascent Soul Realm third-layer Demon Clan Great Powers in the high tower.

Furthermore, although one is qualified to cultivate complete Divine Powers upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, Divine Powers are difficult to cultivate. Many Heavenly Pride even have to wait until they achieve the Faxiang Realm Great Expert level before they can cultivate a complete Divine Power.

But Lu Chen is now almost simultaneously cultivating six Divine Powers. He has cultivated the Tenfold Spirit Body, Yuan Tuo Dharma Body, Formless Divine Ring, Dividing Light Fleeting Moment, Great Sun Saber Light, and Star River Soul Forging to great success, approaching Perfection.

In addition, apart from his own cultivation, the remaining sixteen Demon Corpse of Nascent Soul Realm Great Powers in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin have also been nurtured, further advancing Lu Chen's Body Refinement strength, reaching the second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.

It's just that he didn't have a demonic heart tribulation, so his Breakthrough was silent and unnoticed by anyone.

And the remaining more than eight hundred newly nurtured Dao Soldiers have all been integrated into the previous three hundred Fusion Dao Soldiers, causing the Dragon Attribute Dao Soldier and Tiger Attribute Dao Soldier among them to advance further, reaching a level equivalent to the third layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Furthermore, there is one Ape Attribute Dao Soldier that has also entered the Nascent Soul level. Lu Chen speculates that its final Fusion direction seems to be 'Zhu Yan'.

There is also one Wolf Attribute Dao Soldier that has similarly entered the Nascent Soul level. Its final Fusion direction should be 'Heavenly Wolf'.

Additionally, there is one Dog Attribute Dao Soldier that has entered the Nascent Soul level. Its final Fusion direction is 'Heavenly Dog', or it can also be called 'Howling Celestial Hound'.

There is also one Ox Attribute Dao Soldier. The final Fusion direction of this Dao Soldier is 'Kui Niu'. One Snake Attribute Dao Soldier. The final Fusion direction of this Dao Soldier is either 'Xiangliu' or 'Heaven Devouring Python'!

In total, there are five additional Yin Yang Dao Soldiers equivalent to Nascent Soul Realm Great Powers.

The remaining Golden Crow Emperor Clan and Shadow Kill Great Fiend have not been integrated.

In other words, Lu Chen now only has three hundred and seventy-four Fusion Dao Soldiers remaining, and his Qi Cultivation breaking into the second tribulation Yang God allows him to nurture an additional three hundred and twenty Dao Soldiers.

There is still a shortage of one thousand two hundred and eleven Dao Soldiers, which are currently being nurtured and are close to being fully nurtured.

Once they are all nurtured, Lu Chen's Body Refinement strength might advance further.

"I still need to find natural treasures and earthly treasures that can quickly increase my cultivation," Lu Chen said with some helplessness.

In terms of Realm, he could actually directly enter the Faxiang Realm Great Expert level without obstruction, but the problem was the need for accumulation in cultivation.

Moreover, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin progresses in parallel with his Qi Cultivation. Body Refinement is relatively better; with the feedback from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin Dao Soldiers, his improvement is already very fast. If it were any faster, the Foundation might become unstable.

Therefore, what Lu Chen lacks most now is Qi Cultivation.

Coincidentally, at his current Realm, even the Dongming Sect no longer has pills that can increase his cultivation. After all, the Fourth Elder in charge of refining pills on Danxia Peak is only at the peak of Yin God, and cannot refine pills that can aid Yang God cultivation. Otherwise, his Qi Cultivation strength would improve even faster.

If his Qi Cultivation could keep up, the mountain of Demon Corpse accumulated in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin would quickly be nurtured into Dao Soldiers, instead of being nurtured in batches of over a thousand Demon Corpse like now, which greatly limits the speed at which he becomes stronger.

A single minor Realm in the Yang God Realm can nurture an additional three hundred and twenty Dao Soldiers. Nine minor Realms stacked together would amount to as many as two thousand eight hundred and eighty Dao Soldiers. After a few rounds, the remaining more than ten thousand Demon Corpse could be completely consumed.

Unfortunately, without suitable cultivation resources, it's all in vain.

Lu Chen was helpless.

Just then, his communication jade slip stirred. Lu Chen's thoughts sank into it, and he instantly realized: "Senior Brother Jiang is here?"

Why would he come at this time? Could it be that he is leaving the Azure Underworld to go to the Dongxu Immortal Mansion?

Lu Chen felt a faint excitement. Leaving the Azure Underworld to go to a higher world, to witness the Myriad Clans Heavenly Pride in the entire universe starry sky, and also the legendary Ascension Ancient Path, and, to nurture stronger Dao Soldiers.

Furthermore, he also wanted to ascend to the so-called Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking to see what was so extraordinary about it.

This, now this is interesting.

Much, much more interesting than the Azure Underworld!

Stepping out of the cave dwelling, Jiang Daoqing arrived with a light chuckle: "Junior Brother Lu, Senior Grand Uncle told me to bring you something good."
