Therefore, a few days ago, the Azure Emperor had rewarded Lu Chen with a full hundred Dragon Crystals and ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Crystals.
The favor he showed Lu Chen was truly sky-high.
Holding a Dragon Crystal, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground with all five hearts facing the heavens and circulated the Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art.
Azure Dragon spiritual energy flowed along Lu Chen's meridians.
At that moment, the Dragon Crystal hidden against Lu Chen's chest released an extremely dense spiritual power that surged madly into his body.
At that moment, the true-dragon spiritual energy within Lu Chen's meridians rapidly grew.
It flowed through the meridians in Lu Chen's limbs and bones, finally converging in his Dantian.
At this moment, as the power of the Dragon Crystal surged into him in a frenzy, the pressure radiating from Lu Chen rapidly increased.
About an hour passed.
The spiritual energy surrounding Lu Chen had practically condensed into liquid.
The might radiating from Lu Chen, as well as the Azure Dragon spiritual energy within his meridians, had also reached a limit!
Then, accompanied by a rumbling boom,
Lu Chen felt his entire being undergo a transformation.
His strength reached a whole new level.
At this moment, Lu Chen directly advanced from the first layer of the Land Immortal Realm to the second.
Inside the Central Extreme Palace, the Azure Emperor, who was also cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes the instant Lu Chen broke through. Looking toward Lu Chen's direction, the Azure Emperor's face filled with shock.
"He truly has reached the Land Immortal Realm—and he even broke through from the first layer to the second."
The Azure Emperor muttered to himself. Then, an even broader smile appeared on Lu Chen's face.
"My son truly possesses the bearing of an invincible supreme being. Perhaps during the upcoming Eastern Cang Blood Grinding, Chen'er will be able to lead Great Qian to victory once more, extend Great Qian's ten-thousand-year foundation, and lead Great Qian to a whole new peak."
The Azure Emperor's face even revealed a crazed expression as he muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, in Tianchen Hall, after breaking through the first layer of the Land Immortal Realm, Lu Chen had completely exhausted the spiritual power within a Dragon Crystal.
Immediately, Lu Chen took out another Dragon Crystal and continued cultivating.
Terrifying spiritual power gathered around Lu Chen. Even the pavilion where he was staying was filled with extremely dense spiritual energy.
After another hour, terrifying pressure once again erupted from Lu Chen's body.
"????"
In the Central Extreme Palace, the Azure Emperor, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes again. At this moment, his face was filled with disbelief. He was so shocked that even his lips trembled.
"No, hadn't he just broken through to the second layer of the Land Immortal Realm? How long has it been? It hasn't even been an hour, has it? He broke through the Land Immortal Realm again just like that?"
At this moment, the Azure Emperor of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty, a Celestial Realm expert who had experienced countless things and suppressed the countless powerful figures of the Eastern Cang nations, was at a loss.
Having witnessed the many Heavenly Chosen of the Eastern Cang Region, the Azure Emperor himself was also a generation's Heavenly Chosen, crushing the powerful figures of his generation until they could barely breathe.
Yet when the Azure Emperor saw this situation with his own son, he was completely dumbfounded.
No, when other people broke through a minor realm, they needed at least several months, or even a year.
Even peerless geniuses needed a month to break through a minor realm.
Yet when it came to his monstrous son—
In less than two hours, he had directly broken through two realms in succession?
The Azure Emperor rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
If the Azure Emperor had not seen that Lu Chen was cultivating the genuine Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art of the Great Qian Imperial Family, he might even have suspected that his son was cultivating some demonic art and had taken a shortcut, which was why he had broken through so quickly.
"My son truly possesses the bearing of an invincible supreme being."
The Azure Emperor did not know how many times he had said those words.
Yet whenever he saw his son's terrifying aptitude, the Azure Emperor still could not help saying them again.
However, just when the Azure Emperor thought this was the end, he discovered that he had been wrong—terribly wrong.
Another hour passed, and Lu Chen directly broke through to the fourth layer of the Land Immortal Realm.
Another hour later, the fifth layer of the Land Immortal Realm...
Another hour later, the sixth layer of the Land Immortal Realm...
That night, the Azure Emperor remained sleepless through the night, watching his own son break through as easily as drinking water.
The Azure Emperor's entire body trembled, as if he had seen a ghost.
A minor realm every hour!
In a single night, he had broken through from the first layer of the Land Immortal Realm to the sixth.
This—this was still human?
At this moment, faced with his own son's terrifying talent, the Azure Emperor rarely revealed a trace of jealousy.
"If I possessed my son's talent, how could I have remained stagnant at the ninth layer of the Celestial Realm for more than a decade, unable to cross the chasm between immortals and humans!"
The Azure Emperor muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and forcibly calmed his suppressed emotions.
"Shadow!"
Then, the Azure Emperor opened his eyes and spoke softly.
"This subordinate is here!"
"Give the order. Notify Eleventh Prince Lu Chen to attend the court session later!"
"Yes..."
"Wait!"
"There's no need to notify him so urgently. It's fine if he arrives half an hour late for court. He cultivated all night, so let the Eleventh Prince rest."
The Azure Emperor steadied himself, a trace of tenderness appearing in his eyes as he spoke.
"Yes!"
Shadow's presence vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, inside Tianchen Hall, Lu Chen opened his eyes and felt the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Land Immortal Realm within him. He frowned slightly.
"I only advanced five minor realms in one night. That's a little slow!"
Lu Chen muttered to himself.
Little did he know that if the Azure Emperor found out Lu Chen thought his breakthrough was slow, he would probably want to give him a sound beating.
Breaking through six minor realms in one night—did he know what kind of monstrous genius that was?
He actually complained that his breakthrough speed was slow. Was he even acting like a human being?
Lu Chen let out a long breath and stood up.
However, just then, a Semi-transparent Panel appeared before Lu Chen once again.
You successfully rejected the invitations from the two sacred lands, causing your fame to soar. You became a peerless Heavenly Chosen whose name resounded throughout the Eastern Cang Region. At this moment, the Imperial Father, the Azure Emperor, whom you successfully rescued, had obtained a great opportunity and completely recovered from his injuries. Likewise, your father had heard the rumors about you and was immensely gratified. Reversal Mission issued: Find your Imperial Father, the Azure Emperor, fight him, and last half an hour under your Imperial Father's attacks without losing! Mission reward: Heaven Tier Top-Grade Growth-type Supreme Treasure: Azure Lotus Creation Robe!
"Hm?"
Seeing the sudden Reversal Mission issued before him, Lu Chen's expression froze.
Then, he felt a headache coming on. This mission was indeed somewhat difficult.
The Azure Emperor was a Celestial Realm expert, and might even have reached the ninth layer of the Celestial Realm.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, was only at the sixth layer of the Land Immortal Realm.
He wanted to last half an hour under his Imperial Father's attacks.
To be honest, it really was somewhat difficult.
However, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and a determined look appeared on his face.
There were difficulties, but problems had to be solved. If his strength was insufficient, then he would make up for it with his brains.
Another Heaven Tier Top-Grade Growth-type Supreme Treasure.
The Azure Lotus Creation Robe—he was taking it!
