455: Invisible, invisible, inaudible

Originally, with so many Dao Soldiers nurtured, the feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin was fully capable of pushing Lu Chen's Body Refinement Realm to the Ascension Realm.

Unfortunately, the Tongtian Realm is similar to the Faxiang Realm, both requiring the complete Thirty-Six Heavens Dharma Images and dharma aspect spirits to reach Perfection before breaking through.

Currently, Lu Chen's Qi Cultivation Realm is still stuck at Ten Dharma Images dharma aspect spirits, lacking eight dharma aspect spirits, thus preventing him from breaking through.

However, this is not a major issue. The feedback power from nurturing the Dao Soldiers has not disappeared; instead, it has accumulated within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, waiting for Lu Chen's Body Refinement and Qi Cultivation to break through to the Ascension Realm together. The feedback power will then arrive as scheduled.

At that time, his Body Refinement strength can still advance by leaps and bounds, without delay.

And now, as long as Lu Chen finds that 'Immortal Fire Essence' and refines it, his Qi Cultivation strength can steadily enter the Ascension Realm, and even beyond the Ascension Realm.

It's just that the problem lies here; it's been seven days, a full seven days, and he hasn't even seen a shadow of the immortal fire.

"Where could it be hidden?" Lu Chen thought long and hard but had no clue.

However, during these seven days, Lu Chen didn't just cleanse the Demon Clan, Three-Eyed Clan, and other beings on this fourth great land; he also searched for all the opportunities on this fourth great land. Although he didn't find any immortal items comparable to the Immortal Fire Essence, he did find three kinds of precious materials and one kind of immortal material, which was no less valuable than the Crimson Blood Geng Metal.

"This Immortal Fire Essence must have developed sentience and sensed danger, which is why it has remained hidden all along," Zhuang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we leave first and wait for the Immortal Fire Essence to appear, then make a sudden return? How about that?"

Lu Chen waved his hand, thinking to himself, it's a pity that Shaman Feng Jie isn't here. Otherwise, with his strange Spirit Treasure, there might be a chance to forcibly find this Immortal Fire Essence.

"Wait!" Lu Chen's heart suddenly stirred.

That Shaman Feng Jie isn't here, but he has the 'Causality Source Tracing Mirror'!

This Immortal Fire Essence must have appeared frequently on the fourth great land, leaving behind its aura.

As long as he refines the aura of this immortal fire and illuminates it with the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, he won't have to worry about not finding this mere immortal fire!

With this thought, Lu Chen was immediately overjoyed. He summoned many Dao Soldiers again and used Fire Element rules to envelop the entire fourth great land. Any aura left by something belonging to the Fire Element was refined out.

After only half an hour, the many Dao Soldiers returned and handed a wisp of the Immortal Fire Essence's aura to Lu Chen.

"The aura of the Immortal Fire Essence!" Lu Chen carefully sensed the extremely extraordinary wisp in his palm, feeling as if it contained infinite Dao rhymes of fire, transcending the Fire Element rules.

Amazing!

If that Golden Crow Emperor Clan guy had obtained this Immortal Fire Essence, he might really have been able to cross the Ascension Realm, and even Ascension Immortal, in one go.

This is not an exaggeration, because within this Immortal Fire Essence is contained the Fire Element Law, and Laws are something only Immortals can touch. If one can use this Immortal Fire Essence to comprehend the Fire Element Law, it is equivalent to stepping half a foot into Ascension Immortal.

Of course, now, the Immortal Fire Essence belongs to Lu Chen.

He casually summoned the 'Causality Source Tracing Mirror', this Spirit Treasure Dao Soldier, and sent the wisp of Immortal Fire Essence aura refined from the entire fourth great land into the Dao Soldier's hand.

The next instant, this Spirit Treasure Dao Soldier manifested its 'Causality Source Tracing Mirror' body, shining with divine light.

Lu Chen followed the divine light and quickly locked his gaze onto the depths of the earth.

"So, it was hidden here," Lu Chen was overjoyed. On the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, he saw a ball of immortal fire, shaped like a fire crow. It didn't look extraordinary, but he knew this was undoubtedly the Immortal Fire Essence.

His Dao Soldiers had already searched the depths of the earth but hadn't found any trace of this Immortal Fire Essence. The reason was that this Immortal Fire Essence was not only hidden deep underground but also in another Void.

'Let's see where else you can run!' Lu Chen directly summoned the Five-Clawed True Dragon Dao Soldier.

As soon as the True Dragon Dao Soldier appeared, it instantly burrowed into the ground, then extended its dragon claws, tearing through the Void and grasping towards the 'fire crow'.

The fire crow, formed by the Immortal Fire Essence, also sensed it instantly and erupted with monstrous immortal fire, transforming into countless fire crows that soared up, attempting to incinerate the dragon claws and escape.

Unfortunately, the True Dragon Dao Soldier remained motionless, crushing the countless fire crows with irresistible force, seizing the Immortal Fire Essence in its palm, and swallowing it whole.

"Got it," Lu Chen recalled the True Dragon Dao Soldier back into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

The power of this Immortal Fire Essence was too strong. Even with a Physical Body as strong as Lu Chen's, he couldn't guarantee refining it without injury, but the True Dragon Dao Soldier could.

As expected, at the same moment, Lu Chen felt a surge of mighty immortal essence rushing in.

This was the immortal fire power refined by the True Dragon Dao Soldier, transmitted to Lu Chen without any loss.

And this is a Divine Power Dao Soldier at the Ascension Realm level, not only possessing formidable strength but also capable of assisting Lu Chen in his cultivation.

Things Lu Chen cannot refine, Divine Power Dao Soldiers can refine. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures Lu Chen cannot refine quickly enough, Divine Power Dao Soldiers can also help refine, and even at a faster speed.

It's no exaggeration to say that in the future, for every additional Divine Power Dao Soldier Lu Chen has, his Qi Cultivation speed can increase dramatically, by more than just a small margin.

The only restriction is that the Divine Power Dao Soldiers assisting Lu Chen's cultivation must be within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, but this restriction is completely negligible.

At this moment, Lu Chen's Qi Cultivation strength began to surge wildly.

Vast immortal essence continuously flowed from the True Dragon Dao Soldier, not only enhancing Lu Chen's Qi Cultivation but also tempering his magic power, Physical Body, Nascent Soul, and even his soul, making his magic power more refined, his Physical Body stronger, his Nascent Soul more condensed, and his soul increasingly powerful.

Soon, within the eleventh Dharma Idol of Qi Cultivation, a dharma aspect spirit condensed.

Then the twelfth dharma aspect spirit...

Thirteenth dharma aspect spirit...

Fifteenth...

Sixteenth...

His aura began to surge wildly, but his magic power did not inflate; instead, it became even more condensed!

In a flash, half a month passed.

On this day, Zhuang Hao, who had been protecting Lu Chen, suddenly started in surprise: "The Holy Son is about to ascend!"

He looked at Lu Chen in astonishment, only to see a faint, ethereal immortal rhyme rising from Lu Chen's body, astonishing magic power manifesting, and one ancient, mysterious, supreme dharma aspect spirit after another sitting around Lu Chen, seemingly in the infinitely distant spacetime, and also seemingly at an supreme height, within the light and shadow, and outside the light and shadow.

Especially three vague dharma aspect spirits among them were the most striking. They were three spirits: one old, one middle-aged, and one young. The Dao rhyme on the Old Man was immeasurably heavy, as if it were the foundation of everything in the world, the root of all order in heaven and earth. If He were not present, this heaven and earth would collapse and cease to exist, but with Him present, it is the foundation of existence.

The Dao rhyme on the middle-aged spirit was equally profound and unfathomable. Where He was, it was like the starting point of everything in the world, the origin and beginning of all things, perhaps one could call it, Primordial Beginning!

The Dao rhyme on the young spirit was the most astonishing, seemingly capable of destroying everything, annihilating everything. All things in heaven and earth seemed to head towards their end upon seeing Him.

The middle-aged spirit is the beginning, the old spirit is the foundation of existence, the stable root of all things in heaven and earth, the fundamental source of all order, and the young spirit is the end of everything, whether existence or non-existence.

The three dharma aspect spirits seemed capable of opening heaven, creating earth, bringing order to heaven and earth, gradually giving rise to things, and finally heading towards the end, in a cycle, without beginning or end!

"This is..." Zhuang Hao watched in horror, feeling as if his Nascent Soul was about to be lost within it, and also feeling as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, a Dao that was not meant for him to access at his level, causing his soul to swell with pain, as if it were about to explode!

Terrifying, awe-inspiring, these are supreme spirits, existences that cannot be seen, heard, or perceived!

And yet, he saw them on Lu Chen!
