Chapter Forty-Six: Gambling

  After the ninth major terrestrial spiritual vein emerged, Chen Luo had been using the Huo Yun Jinghua to gradually impact the ninth spiritual vein. Although it was quite difficult, it was still relatively smooth. However, what excited him the most was that the three major spiritual techniques were progressing at an incredible speed. Perhaps it was indeed the "illusory fire" that purified Chen Luo's soul, causing his wisdom to greatly increase and his comprehension to soar. Thirty days later, Chen Luo had cultivated the Great Earth Thick Soil Fist, the Rushing Thunder Hand, and the Golden Snake Wrapping Silk Hand to their peak.

  Forty days later, the thick earth of the ground rises first to the stage of great perfection.

  Fifty days later, Ben Lei's hand also entered the stage of Dzogchen.

  Sixty days later, Jinshe Chan Si entered the stage of Dacheng.

  At this point, the five major spiritual incantations of Tiger's Mighty Formless Fist, Residual Shadow Three Moves, Rushing Thunder Hand, Golden Snake Coiling Silk Hand, and Great Earth Thick Soil Fist have all reached their peak. The reason why these five major spiritual incantations are called as such is that they are unique, powerful, and extraordinary. When unleashed, their power is not to be underestimated. Moreover, Chen Luo's spiritual energy was originally extremely violent and had undergone mutations, and he had also activated the nine spiritual meridians simultaneously. The might of his fully mastered spiritual incantations can be described as shocking heaven and earth, and moving ghosts and spirits to tears.

  The mighty Tiger Fist emphasizes powerful and fierce martial prowess. After the Tiger's soul is unleashed, it is as if a ferocious tiger roars in the forest, with boundless ferocity.

  The residual shadow triple moves swiftly and strangely, after the residual shadow soul is struck out, the three shadows move with it, the speed is so fast that people are killed without a trace.

  The mighty fist of Thunderclap is heavy as a thunderbolt, the soul of Thunderclap bursts out, like lightning and thunder, instantly descending with a thousand pounds.

  The golden snake wraps around the silk hand, with multiple changes in its weight. After the golden snake's soul is struck out, its body shape resembles a dragon-snake, which can twist at will and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

  The mighty earth's thick soil fist is heavy with an overwhelming aura, the earth's soul bursts forth, each punch like a mountain range, descending from the heavens, giving one a suffocating sense of oppression.

  In this world, very few people can cultivate any of the Five Great Spiritual Keys to perfection. The reason is simple: cultivating the Five Great Spiritual Keys is extremely difficult, not to mention consuming a lot of energy and wasting a lot of time. In the end, it's still possible that you won't be able to cultivate them to perfection. It's better to wait until the Spiritual Sea is opened up and focus on cultivating the Xuan-level spiritual keys. Therefore, almost no one focuses on cultivating the Five Great Spiritual Keys in the first realm.

  If Chen hadn't been stuck and unable to open up the Spiritual Ocean, he probably wouldn't have gone to cultivate these spiritual incantations. After all, once the Spiritual Ocean is opened, one can cultivate Xuan-grade spiritual incantations, which are much more powerful than Huang-grade ones.

  Of course, being able to cultivate the Five Great Spiritual Mantras to perfection is still very exciting.

  But then.

  Chen Luo couldn't get excited, these days he had been trying to open up the ninth spiritual vein, even setting up a 'clear wake array' to numb himself and sacrifice his sleep time, all for the sake of opening up the ninth spiritual vein as soon as possible and creating the legendary boundless land spiritual sea.

  Dreams are beautiful, reality is always cruel.

  The ninth spiritual vein was opened by him, but it still couldn't connect with the others. The situation he encountered was almost identical to that of the seventh and eighth veins. The nine spiritual veins were still an incomplete circle, like one vein was missing. With his previous experience, Chen Luo continued to use the Fire Cloud Essence to try and penetrate the ninth vein again, hoping it would grow another one. Unfortunately, it didn't work. He had already consumed all of the Fire Cloud Essence, but it still couldn't move the ninth spiritual vein.

  Shaking his head, Chen Luo opened his eyes, raised his head, and furrowed his brow as he gazed at the hazy sky. He muttered to himself, "I'm saying, Old Heaven, are you intentionally playing with me?" When he connected the seventh spiritual vein, it was uncommunicative and disjointed, leaving him somewhat disheartened. Unexpectedly, an eighth spiritual vein grew out, filling him with hope for the future. After connecting the eighth spiritual vein, Chen Luo once again felt disheartened. Unexpectedly, a ninth spiritual vein grew out, and Chen Luo once again felt hopeful about the future. Now... he felt that life was bleak and dismal.

  Based on the experience of the first two times, can't the ninth spiritual vein grow a new spiritual vein?

  If it's true, then that would be the tenth spiritual vein!

  Ten spiritual veins! Is it possible?

  Opening the Ten Spiritual Channels makes one a perfect being, the leader of all spirits. The ancient human tribe was like this, I heard that those ancient human tribes were as powerful as gods. Just thinking about it is terrifying, so the Ten Spiritual Channels must be even more frightening.

  Chen Luo shook his head, not daring to continue thinking about it, because that thing was simply too terrifying, so terrifying that it seemed unreal. The key was that he still didn't know what situation he was in, and if he couldn't cultivate the tenth spiritual vein later on, he would truly become a useless person.

  What's even more important is that all five bottles of Huoyun essence have been used up, what can be used to impact the ninth spiritual vein?

  With ordinary spiritual energy?

  What a joke, even the most powerful Fire Cloud Spirit Energy can't move the Ninth Spirit Vein at all, let alone ordinary spirit energy, no matter how much more there is, it's not a question of quantity, but a problem of quality.

  What should I do?

  Chen Luo opened the package, took out a palm-sized box from inside, and opened it to reveal a crystal stone that was entirely crimson. He learned from Wei Tianlong that this was a Fire Cloud Crown Crystal, a top-grade Fire Cloud Crystal. In the stone room, he also picked up a book, which contained notes on refining Fire Cloud Essence. Originally, he had planned to try refining some Fire Cloud Essence using this Fire Cloud Crown Crystal after he finished his current tasks, following the records in the book.

  If refined now, time does not permit, and it is unknown when the Huoyun essence can be refined. Chen Luo doesn't have the time to wait, so he decides to directly extract from this Huoyun Charms Crystal. With his attainments in array techniques and the records on that notebook, direct extraction is not difficult. What he is more worried about is that the extracted thing is a kind of primitive Huoyun spiritual energy.

  The notes say that Huoyun Lingxi is an existence close to the origin of fire, its intensity is ten times that of Huoyun Jinghua, and no one's soul can withstand such intensity. Therefore, Huoyun Lingxi was extracted from this Huoyun Kuijing crystal and then decomposed into Huoyun Jinghua.

  Chen Luo had once tasted the essence of Huo Yun's fire cloud, and it was very intense. His own soul could withstand it, but he didn't know if he could withstand something ten times stronger than that. Moreover, even if his soul could withstand it, what about his physical body? When absorbing the fire cloud essence, his skin would often get burned, and the Huo Yun Ling Xi was ten times more intense than that. What if he got burned to death at that time?

  Chen Luo, although a crazy and stubborn person, was not reckless or ignorant. Threatened by the danger to his life, he had to be cautious and spent half a day thinking deeply before deciding to try it out. It would be more accurate to say that he was gambling, using the strength of his soul to gamble against the ferocity of the Huo Yun Ling Xi. To be honest, he had confidence in the strength of his own soul, but not in his physical body. However, he did have confidence in his array techniques and knew that the extracted Huo Yun Ling Xi would be quite fierce, so he had to set up a series of arrays: first to suppress the intensity of the Huo Yun Ling Xi, and second to protect his own body.

  In the blink of an eye, five days passed, and Chen Luo fully set up twenty-one arrays. Three arrays were used for extraction, twelve arrays were used to suppress the intensity of Huoyun Lingxi's aura, and six arrays were used to protect his own physical body.

  After the formation was activated, Chen Luo sat cross-legged and waited. After three cycles of the formation's operation, he began to extract the Huoyun Kuijing. One hour, two hours, three hours later, the Huoyun Kuijing started to tremble. Five hours later, a faint red mist emerged from the Huoyun Kuijing... No! That wasn't a red mist, but rather... a flame, a crystal clear flame.

  Chen Luo had never seen Huo Yun Ling Xi before, but he dared to confirm that the thing in front of him was absolutely it. He also confirmed that this thing was probably the purest flame in the world. The fire began to spread and instantly penetrated the first layer of suppression array. It didn't work. The purity of Huo Yun Ling Xi did not decrease at all. The second, third, fourth, fifth...

  He stared intently at the Fire Cloud Spirit, his expression stern but not panicked, because the Twelve Suppression Array he had set up was specifically designed to counter the Spirit, and it was a rebounding suppression type. The more violent the Fire Cloud Spirit was, the stronger the rebounding suppression would be.

  The Fire Cloud Spirit's infiltration continued, and it had already infiltrated the ninth layer. When it infiltrated the tenth layer, the Tenth Layer Suppression Array suddenly activated, like a sudden storm on a clear day, and the powerful Fire Cloud Spirit gradually weakened. When it infiltrated the eleventh layer, it weakened by another two parts, and when it infiltrated the twelfth layer, its purity weakened by three parts.

  Take a deep breath, raise your arm, and with a flick of your fingers, various talismans converge into a single seal. The seal falls, the defensive formation is activated, and in an instant, his body is encased in ice. In the span of a single breath, everything within the formation has turned into glittering, transparent ice.

  Chen Luo had no way to restrain the Huo Yun Ling Xi, and could only rely on the mutual restraint of ice and fire to protect his physical body. This was currently the strongest ice array he could set up - the Cold Abyss Extreme Ice Array. When the Huo Yun Ling Xi seeped in, the ice would instantly melt, but the Cold Abyss Extreme Ice Array would continue to operate, re-freezing and then melting again, repeating this cycle.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, I dare not slack off. The soul resonates in unison, with twenty-eight vibrations in an instant, and the firepower is fully opened. After a wisp of Huo Yun Ling Xi is absorbed into the body, the scorching heat arrives instantly, and the feeling is comparable to the burning of the illusory fire. When the Huo Yun Ling Xi enters the spiritual vein, the internal spiritual energy is like dry wood meeting fierce fire, and it also catches fire.

  The Huo Yun Ling Xi was too intense, so intense that it tore his flesh and made his soul resonate slowly.

  Chen Luo gritted his teeth and recklessly urged on the surging spiritual power, akin to a raging inferno, to assault the Ninth Spiritual Pulse.

  One impact, two impacts, more and more Fire Cloud Spirit Energy delved into the Spiritual Veins, the Spiritual Power grew crazier, the Spiritual Veins also twisted more and more, at the same time, his consciousness also became increasingly blurry.

  At this moment, Chen Luo had only one thought, a crazy impact, piercing through the Ninth Spirit Pulse.

  A crazy obsession supports a vague consciousness.

  The crazy soul resonance, the crazy destruction of spiritual power, the crazy impact, again and again. The ninth spiritual vein was also impacted, trembling continuously, twisting and changing. In an instant, it felt like the ninth spiritual vein had exploded. Chen Lu didn't have time to check what was happening, he quickly got up and ran outside, because if he didn't run, he would probably be burned alive.

  One step out, leave the formation, turn and enter another formation.

  This formation is not connected to those formations, it's a healing formation set up by Chen Luo just in case. Knowing that Huo Yun Ling's powers are quite strong, he had already prepared for this. Even if they can't break through successfully and escape, they must heal first. He doesn't want to lose his life because of this.
