Pioneer of the New World

Bai Ze: "Do you know what that tree surrounding Lu Chen is?"

"Could it be the tree born from chaos?"

Kui Niu pointed at the tree on the screen and said.

"Yes, that's the tree, a sky-reaching giant tree that grew when heaven and earth were first born."

"Lu Chen is not our hope; that giant tree is our hope."

Bai Ze thought for a moment and continued, "Do you remember that imprint? I said it was both a restraint and a blessing. It's because my Bai Ze clan possesses the imprint of this world."

"What! You have the blessing of the current world? Sigh... Actually, I should have realized it long ago."

The Golden Giant Dragon looked at Bai Ze and suddenly spoke.

"The blessing of the current world, your Golden Giant Dragon clan should have it too. Then you should also understand the meaning of blessing."

Bai Ze sat up and looked at the Golden Giant Dragon in front of him.

"Heh, the blessing of the current world? To us now, it should be called a restraint."

The Golden Giant Dragon transformed into its fifth claw.

The image of a sky-reaching giant tree appeared on its palm.

"Without the support of the sky-reaching giant tree, the blessings have become extremely scarce by my generation. Without great fortune, I will never be able to break through my current realm."

Kui Niu stepped forward, and the imprint of the Azure Emperor Divine Tree appeared on his forehead.

"What's the use of this imprint? I can feel its influence on me, but I can't use it."

Bai Ze: "That's because Lu Chen's Small World hasn't taken shape yet. Our Bai Ze clan was the first batch of Demonic Beasts generated from the Phoenix Ancestor's blood, so we have the blessing imprint of reality."

"This blessing imprint is the pass to enter the Small World, but it also means that life and death will be completely controlled by Lu Chen."

Kui Niu: "Then what is this blessing you speak of?"

Golden Giant Dragon: "The blessing is that after Lu Chen's Small World takes shape, we will receive the protection of the Small World. Even if the Darkness Riot is not resolved, we can survive by entering Lu Chen's Small World."

"As pioneers of the new world, we will also possess special skills, such as my fifth claw, and Bai Ze's ability to know the past and future."

Red Fox: "If that's the case, then don't we have to make Lu Chen's Small World take shape quickly now?"

"Yes, but it is incredibly difficult to make a human grow quickly, especially in this era of diluted bloodlines."

"We need to prepare a method for Lu Chen to quickly improve his cultivation."

Bai Ze sighed deeply and revealed the only difficulty in his heart.

"I can do this. The Spiritual Power our clan generates can gather Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth."

A young man walked out from behind the crowd and transformed into his true form.

His true form was a Source Gathering Spirit Shell, which naturally could gather Spiritual Energy.

The two shells of the Source Gathering Spirit Shell flapped gently.

The Spiritual Energy on the third floor of the Beast King's Mansion began to condense between the shells.

Bai Ze: "Good. Now that we have the cultivation, we also need to let him experience life and death for training. Before he touches upon life and death, none of us can intervene to help him."

"This matter concerns the fate of our Demonic Beast clan, and it absolutely cannot be discovered by others."

"Yes, we understand."

The crowd below rose and replied.

Bai Ze: "Now, everyone go and improve your cultivation. We need to raise our strength to the peak of this world to deal with the impending Darkness Riot."

The goal of everyone on the chairs had been unified.

They transformed into their true forms and left their seats, each going to handle their respective responsibilities.

The fourth floor of the Beast King's Mansion.

Lu Chen stood at the entrance of the stairs, looking at the quiet fourth floor with some confusion.

The Spiritual Energy on the fourth floor was incredibly dense, but there were only five rooms.

The five rooms were scattered around the perimeter.

They formed a "five stars arching over the moon" formation, surrounding the stairs leading to the fifth floor.

The entrances to the rooms were marked with the symbols for gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, in order.

Lu Chen woke up the Wind Dragon: "Wind Dragon, why are there no Demonic Beasts on this floor?"

"Huh? We're already on the fourth floor?"

The Wind Dragon's aura emanated: "There are no Demonic Beasts on this floor; you can go straight in. This is where I used to live, the place I told you about with the five leaders."

"Go to my room first. I need some pills to recover. The first room on the left is my residence."

Lu Chen walked towards the wooden door, holding the Primal Chaos Greatsword in his hand.

"Bang..."

As Lu Chen reached the doorway, a gust of wind blew, and the door opened directly.

"What a big room."

Lu Chen exclaimed as he looked at the interior of the room.

He had seen this kind of spatial magic treasure when he was in Fengtian Prefecture.

The exterior was only a few meters away, but the internal space was thousands of times larger.

"This is just one application of spatial abilities; it's not worth mentioning."

"Let's go to the alchemy room first. I need a large number of pills to restore my strength."

With that, Wind Dragon pulled Lu Chen into the alchemy room.

In the center of the room stood a massive alchemy cauldron, ten feet tall, with flames still flickering inside.

Eight medicine racks were placed around the cauldron.

Eight beams of spiritual energy connected the cauldron and the racks, surrounding the cauldron in an eight trigram formation.

Lu Chen walked closer to the medicine racks, and a fragrance of spiritual pills wafted towards him.

Body Tempering Pill, Heaven Restoration Pill, Blood Rage Pill, Calamity Evasion Pill, Spirit Transformation Pill...

Seeing the thousands of pills on the racks, Lu Chen grinned.

"Wind Dragon, these pills..."

"You can use all of them, but the pills in the cauldron are for when you break through to a new realm. You can't have them for now."

Seeing Lu Chen's smile stretching to his ears, Wind Dragon quickly interrupted him and gave all the pills to Lu Chen.

"Hahaha, that's not what I meant, but since you've said so, I won't be polite and will accept them."

Lu Chen's smile grew even more unrestrained upon hearing that Wind Dragon intended to give him all the pills.

"Hahaha."

"This is all money! Once we find Grandpa, we can sell these pills and buy a few more plots of land."

Lu Chen stepped forward and began searching for the pills he needed.

"Sigh..."

Wind Dragon watched Lu Chen and let out a sigh.

After spending this much time together, he already knew about Lu Chen's past.

Yet, despite that, Wind Dragon couldn't understand Lu Chen's state.

The young man before him was only eighteen years old. Although his heart was filled with immense sorrow and helplessness, he always put on a facade of strength and happiness in front of others.

Perhaps Lu Chen wanted to preserve the image of his grandfather's last memory of him, hoping that if he found his grandfather, they could return to their previous life.

"Wind Dragon, do you think I can really find Grandpa? So many days have passed, and there's still no news."

Lu Chen looked at the various pills on the shelves, tears slowly streaming down his face.

"Grandpa said that if I still couldn't cultivate by the time I was eighteen, he would use all the money he saved his whole life to buy some land and farm it with me."

"But now I can cultivate, and I can afford to buy land, but Grandpa, he..."

"Sigh..."

Seeing the tears flowing from Lu Chen's eyes, Wind Dragon sighed again.

"Little Lu, your future is limitless. You will definitely find Grandpa, and then we'll farm together."

Wind Dragon controlled the Primal Chaos Greatsword and gently patted Lu Chen's shoulder.

"Your most important task now is to improve your cultivation and prepare to rescue Grandpa."

Lu Chen looked up, clasped the Primal Chaos Greatsword with both hands, and gently stroked it.

He understood what Wind Dragon meant.

"It's good to have you here with me, Wind Dragon."

"I must quickly improve my cultivation. I believe Grandpa is still waiting for me."

Lu Chen wiped away his tears, gripped the Primal Chaos Greatsword in his right hand, and spun a sword flower behind him.

"I, Lu Chen of Qingtian Workshop, will definitely become a powerful cultivator. I will definitely rescue Grandpa."

"I said it. It won't matter even if the Heavenly Dao comes."

Lu Chen swung his sword backward, shattering the table and chairs in front of him.

"Little Lu, let's begin."

Seeing that Lu Chen's emotions had calmed down, Wind Dragon urged him to find the pills and prepare to restore his Spiritual Energy.

"First, let's find the Heaven Restoration Pill, Wind Spirit Pill, and Willow Wood Pill."

Wind Dragon guided Lu Chen to find all the necessary pills.

"Absorb the medicinal power of the pills, and then pour all the medicinal power into the Primal Chaos Greatsword."

Lu Chen sat down on the spot and swallowed all the pills in one go.

The medicinal power of the pills dissolved within Lu Chen's body.

"Fool! You ate too much, quickly use Spiritual Energy to guide it!"

"You're supposed to eat pills one by one, not swallow them all at once! It's a waste, and if you're not careful, you could explode!"

Wind Dragon watched Lu Chen's reckless actions, swallowing all the pills at once, and shouted anxiously.

Thick white smoke continuously seeped out from Lu Chen's pores.

"Ah! What should I do then?"

This was Lu Chen's first time seeing so many pills. He thought it was like taking medicine when he was sick, just swallowing it all at once.

"The medicinal power of these pills is relatively gentle, and your meridians are tens of times wider than those of ordinary people. It won't cause you any harm for now."

"But you need to guide it with Spiritual Energy quickly, channeling all the blocked medicinal power into the Primal Chaos Greatsword. I can digest it inside."

Lu Chen listened to Wind Dragon's instructions.

Spiritual Energy surged out from the Celestial Pool, guiding the blocked medicinal power in his meridians, bit by bit, into the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

"Wind Dragon, hurry! I feel like the medicinal power in my meridians is increasing."

Lu Chen's hair was blown up by the Spiritual Energy.

A wave of potent white medicinal power surged out from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

The medicinal power merged into Lu Chen's skin and muscles.

Instantly, Lu Chen swelled up into a huge, fat figure.

"Almost there, almost there! Speed up the transfer of medicinal power."

Wind Dragon's voice came from the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

A large amount of medicinal power flowed into the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

Wind Dragon's body was gradually filled with the medicinal power.

"Roar..."

A dragon's roar echoed from the Primal Chaos Greatsword.

"Little Lu, speed up! I feel like we're reaching the critical point."

Wind Dragon's voice was a little anxious.

"I'm ready! I'm going to transfer all the medicinal power in now."

Lu Chen's body had already been filled with medicinal power, turning him into a giant sphere.

His limbs, head, and skin – any opening was emitting a dense mist of medicinal power.

Hearing Wind Dragon's voice, Lu Chen poured all the medicinal power, Spiritual Energy, and blood from his meridians into the Primal Chaos Greatsword in one go.

"Bang..."

"Roar..."

Wind Dragon's phantom was blasted out of the Primal Chaos Greatsword.
