335: One side of the sky

"Unexpectedly, my Qi Cultivation has surpassed my Body Refinement cultivation!" On Doujian Peak, Lu Chen, who had been in seclusion in his cave dwelling, woke up.

His Qi Cultivation had broken through again, entering the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, while his Body Refinement cultivation had stagnated, still at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, already surpassed by his Qi Cultivation.

Most importantly, he still had more than half of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures left. If he refined all of them, it might even help him step into the Dharma Aspect Realm in one go, achieving Great Expert status.

Moreover, as long as his Qi Cultivation improved, his Body Refinement cultivation would quickly catch up.

This was because as his Qi Cultivation increased, the upper limit for Dao Soldiers in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin would also increase. Just within the Nascent Soul Realm, for every level of cultivation gained, he could nurture six hundred and forty more Dao Soldiers.

He was now at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. The total number of additional Dao Soldiers available in the entire Nascent Soul Realm, he had not yet begun to nurture. For five levels of cultivation, this totaled three thousand two hundred Dao Soldiers.

If he could nurture these three thousand two hundred Dao Soldiers, it wouldn't be difficult for Lu Chen's Body Refinement strength to keep up with his Qi Cultivation. What he lacked was Monster Corpses, or more precisely, the seeds that could be used to nurture Dao Soldiers, and it wasn't just Monster Corpses that could be used as Dao Soldier seeds.

After Lu Chen goes to the Starry Sky, he will unlock more types of Dao Soldiers.

"Since you have woken up, pack up and leave with this Sect Leader!" Outside the cave dwelling, a calm and gentle voice suddenly came.

'Sect Leader?'

Where does the Sect Leader want to take me?

Could it be back to the Dongxu Immortal Mansion?

But that's not right, if the Sect Leader leaves, what about the Dongming Sect? He is the Sect Leader of a Sect!

"Sect Leader." Lu Chen walked out of the cave dwelling with some doubts.

"The Great Golden Crow of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan has descended upon the Azure Underworld, likely to stir up trouble. You should first follow this Sect Leader to 'Mystic Heaven' to avoid it. After this matter is settled, you can enter the Dongxu Immortal Mansion." The Young Sect Leader Zhao Yujing spoke concisely.

'The Great Golden Crow of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan has descended upon the Azure Underworld, and even an existence like the Sect Leader, who can fight Immortals, has to retreat?!' Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't forgotten that he had killed a Little Golden Crow.

Moreover, the Little Golden Crow's Physical Body had been nurtured by him into a Dao Soldier, but it was currently still in Chen Tianshu's hands and had not been returned to him.

It seemed now that Chen Tianshu was most likely worried that that Golden Crow Dao Soldier would bring him trouble, which was why he was temporarily keeping it for him.

Leaving aside whether Chen Tianshu's worries were unnecessary, given the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, Lu Chen had never been detected for the aura of the Dao Soldiers within the Immortal Coffin. But at least one thing could be proven: Chen Tianshu's worries were not unfounded, because the Great Golden Crow of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan had truly arrived.

For safety's sake, it's better to run away with the Sect Leader first.

Whether the Great Golden Crow was a Tongtian Realm Great Power or an Ascension Realm peak expert, Lu Chen didn't know, but Lu Chen knew that if the Great Golden Crow truly came knocking, one slap could turn him into a pulp of flesh, dead beyond dead.

"Then what about the Dongming Sect?" Lu Chen finally couldn't help but ask.

The Young Sect Leader Zhao Yujing said indifferently, "Even if the Golden Crow Emperor Clan is powerful, without solid evidence, they will not touch the Dongming Sect under my Dongxu Immortal Mansion. You don't need to worry. As for the position of Sect Leader, this Sect Leader has passed it to Protector Gu Wenzhao. Additionally, Senior apprentice-brother Chen and Jiang Daoqing will continue to stay in the Azure Underworld and will naturally look after the Dongming Sect."

Lu Chen felt relieved: "Give me half a day, I still have some things to do."

He had a premonition that once he left this time, it might be a long time before he returned to the Azure Underworld, so he needed to take care of some matters.

During these years of cultivation in the Dongming Sect, he had received help from many people and assistance from many Great Experts he once had to look up to.

For example, Protectors Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo had silently guarded him from behind, even taking him away from the Azure Underworld to the Lingguang cultivation world to obtain Earth Dragon Liquid. They had also protected him in eliminating the remnants of the Twelve Phase Sect and the demonic outsiders of the Demonic Path.

There were also several Elders and Senior apprentice-brothers from Doujian Peak who had given him help.

Coincidentally, Lu Chen currently had accumulated a mountain of cultivation resources, all obtained from killing enemies. He might as well give them to these fellow Disciples to help them advance further on their cultivation path.

Anyway, these cultivation resources suitable for the Dao Infant Realm, Yin Spirit Realm, and Yang Spirit Realm were no longer needed by him.

For the next half day, Lu Chen almost traveled throughout the entire Dongming Sect, meeting everyone he knew and giving away the mountain of cultivation resources one by one. More resources were handed over to the Sect by Lu Chen.

The Sect had nurtured him, so he naturally had to give back to the Sect; this was the right thing to do.

"This kid, he knows how to handle things." Zhao Yujing sat atop the peak, silently watching Lu Chen moving back and forth throughout the Dongming Sect. Deep in his eyes, a look of approval was revealed.

In this vast universe starry sky, there are countless cultivators, many of whom only care about their own cultivation and pay little attention to their Sect, Elders, relatives, and friends!

Zhao Yujing had also seen many Heavenly Pride nurtured by Sects who ultimately gave nothing back to the Sect, and even some who brought disaster and trouble to the Sect, yet when the Sect was in difficulty, they ignored it!

There were countless such cases.

However, Lu Chen knew how to repay and remember kindness. Even those little guys in the Xuan Fa Realm who had helped him in the past, Lu Chen had not forgotten, nor did he look down on them in any way.

One must know that with Lu Chen's current strength, those in the Xuan Fa Realm were no more than ants to him. Even Protectors like Gu Wenzhao in the Yang Spirit Realm were just like chickens and dogs, but Lu Chen remained as he was.

Finally, Lu Chen left the Dongming Sect and went into the mortal world.

Zhao Yujing knew it was because Lu Chen still had family in the mortal world. However, Lu Chen's family had no cultivation talent, so they remained in the mortal world.

In the end, Lu Chen did not bring his relatives from the mortal world to the Dongming Sect. Instead, he left behind two Yin Yang Dao Soldiers comparable to Nascent Soul Realm Great Powers to silently protect his relatives.

It wasn't until sunset and moonrise that Lu Chen returned to the Young Sect Leader's side.

"You have been cultivating for only three years. Although your strength and Realm are not low, you have rarely left the Azure Underworld. Now going to the land of 'Mystic Heaven' will be a good opportunity to broaden your horizons." Zhao Yujing spoke lightly, taking a step forward. He had already entered the Void with Lu Chen, disappearing from Doujian Peak and from the Azure Underworld.

Lu Chen had not heard of 'Mystic Heaven', so he asked, "Is Mystic Heaven also a large life star?"

Zhao Yujing shook his head: "Mystic Heaven is not a large star, but a continent higher than the stars, hence it is also called 'Heaven'."

'A continent in the universe starry sky? Higher than the stars?' Lu Chen listened attentively. He knew about these things, but had never seen a continent in the universe starry sky with his own eyes.

However, from the records in those ancient books, he knew that every continent in the universe starry sky, which is also 'Heaven', is countless times larger than a life star, with vast territories. There are also more living beings and races on it, and it is more suitable for living beings to cultivate.

It goes without saying that there must be countless strong individuals on this 'Mystic Heaven', but Lu Chen did not feel any apprehension; instead, he was increasingly looking forward to it.

Mystic Heaven is good!

Where there are many strong individuals, there will naturally be more cultivation races. It just so happens that his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin has a large number of new Dao Soldier vacancies. Wouldn't the Fellow Daoists on this Mystic Heaven easily help him fill this gap?

And in return, Lu Chen will naturally help the Fellow Daoists on Mystic Heaven achieve the Dao Fruit of Transcendence!
