Luo Chen masters the "Soul Hooking" manual and extracts a blue Fire Spirit from the Jiao Huang True Flame. He absorbs the Fire Spirit, which settles in his Purple Mansion alongside his other fire spirits. Luo Chen then compels Demon Monk Kong Chan to reveal his true form, a bizarre Chanting Monk, before returning to his human guise. As they travel, Kong Chan recounts the ancient battle that led to the Yuan Mo Sect's downfall, mentioning a wisp of golden flame that caused widespread destruction, aligning with Luo Chen's suspicions.

The mighty Yuan Mo Sect, astonishingly annihilated by the Demon Beasts they had held captive for three millennia; the truth behind this incident is far from straightforward.

The Emperor of Qi Xia herself personally intervened in this affair!

The destruction of Yuan Mo and the subsequent burial of Mingyuan events created a significant power vacuum across the Eastern Wasteland and the North Sea continents, which paved the way for the Tianyuan Daoist Sect to dispatch forces and seize control.

Yet, the ultimate objective was, in fact, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect itself.

Furthermore, it is confirmed that the Qi Xia Emperor did indeed lead an invasion into Zhongzhou.

However, why did the Qi Xia Emperor refrain from acting against the Western Desert and the Southern Border?

The answer may not be that she chose not to act.

The Western Desert's sacred Buddhist Land, sensing the danger, preemptively sealed the Hanging Temple, only unsealing its gates after Zhongzhou had already fallen.

Moreover, during those critical years, the Demon Clan of the Western Desert stirred, compelling the Tianyuan Daoist Sect to mobilize its forces.

As for the Southern Border?

With the formidable Youli Divine Monarch stationed there, even an opponent as powerful as the Qi Xia Emperor would hesitate to launch a direct assault.

Nonetheless, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect did dispatch personnel to the Southern Border, which consequently weakened Zhongzhou and provided an opportune moment for the Qi Xia Emperor to strike.

"Why did the Qi Xia Emperor meticulously orchestrate these events, creating the perfect circumstances for her assault on Zhongzhou? What was her true aim?"

"According to the intelligence we've gathered, the final confrontation in Zhongzhou took place at Heaven and Earth Peak, the very location where the Star Gate, one of the Daoist Sect's three legendary treasures, was housed."

"Following the collapse of Heaven and Earth Peak, the Star Gate organization disintegrated, and it is rumored that the revered Spirit Treasure Star Gate vanished without a trace."

"Could it be that the Qi Xia Emperor's ultimate objective was to acquire the Star Gate?"

Luo Chen pondered these revelations, his pace gradually moderating.

Not hearing any movement from behind him, he prompted, "Continue. Tell me about the recent incursions by the North Sea Demon Race against the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's three continents."

Kong Chan, sensing the urgency, did not dare to delay and relayed the information he possessed.

"My knowledge on this matter is incomplete; I only know it was an order issued by the two ancestors."

"Some speculate it was a retaliatory action for the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's continuous interference in North Sea conflicts over the past century, thwarting the Demon Race's attempts to unify the North Sea Cultivation World."

"However, in my humble estimation, the severity of this retaliation doesn't seem exceptionally high, as powerful cultivators at the Great Demon Emperor level did not participate."

Luo Chen blinked, then halted his steps before a mountain that remained largely intact.

Were these orders from the two North Sea ancestors?

This might indeed have a connection to Li Canghai.

He ceased his contemplation, recognizing that, at this current juncture, Li Canghai was his ally.

An ally's associate might not necessarily be an ally, but until concrete conflict arises, they certainly cannot be classified as an enemy.

"You are dismissed!"

"Continue your vigil over Taohai City. Ensure that no one intrudes upon Ye Mo Sky and disrupts my cultivation."

Kong Chan acknowledged with a nod, departing with a trace of hesitation.

"Master, the Fifth Order Spirit Vein within Ye Mo Sky was fractured during the past conflict, rendering it unsuitable for breakthroughs to the Divine Transformation Realm."

Luo Chen offered a slight smile, as his intention was not to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage in this location.

He had simply accumulated sufficient Nine Heavens Celestial Qi, enabling him to commence the subsequent phase of refinement.

The Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture, a Fifth-tier Sword Dao Technique classified at the Grandmaster Level, was already potent enough to contend with a Divine Transformation strike, yet Luo Chen remained unsatisfied.

Only upon achieving Finalization could its true threat against Divine Transformation Great Powers be fully realized!

Luo Chen offered no further explanation, signaling Kong Chan's departure with a wave of his hand.

Once the surroundings fell into complete silence, Luo Chen proceeded, step by deliberate step, along the fractured mountainside towards the platform situated midway up the peak, a scar left by a single sword strike.

As he advanced, he meticulously placed array flags and personally directed the flow of the Earth Vein.

Three days later.

Upon reaching the flattened mountain waist, Luo Chen.

The Fourth Order Spirit Vein, concealed deep within this mountain, had been largely organized, now capable of supplying Luo Chen with a considerable amount of Spirit Qi.

With a casual motion.

Clang!

The Nine Heavens Jar was placed firmly upon the ground.

Luo Chen assumed a cross-legged position, formed a hand seal for a sword technique, and drew a deep breath.

Instantly, a stream of purple Celestial Qi emerged from the black jar, which he absorbed into his being, and his Qi Power began to refine it with great speed.

Reacting to this absorption, the condensed Thousand Cloud Sword Seed commenced a rapid, spinning motion.
