Qian Heaven Cloud

The Lineage had been preparing for Chen Nianzhi's refining of her natal Life-bound Magical Treasure for quite some time.

With the full support of the Chen Clan family, they have now collected enough of the Five Elements Essence to be of astonishing value.

With enough of the Five Elements Essence, refining Life-bound Spirit Treasure was a natural process. Chen Nianzhi spent five years refining all five of his Life-bound Spirit Treasure to the Tier 5 Upper Grade.

With five Upper-Tier Spirit Treasure acquired at once, and top-tier Spirit Treasure at the level of Life-bound Spirit Treasure, Chen Nianzhi's strength immediately increased dramatically.

According to Chen Nianzhi's current estimation, his combat strength should be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Earth Dao Nascent Soul. If he were to use the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords Unity, his combat ability could even be considered that of a top-tier Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "Now that I've broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, my confidence in dealing with the Desolate Demon Ridge has greatly increased."

"Yes."

Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "Since your current Law Power is comparable to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, why don't you try to collect the aura of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Good."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, then transformed into a streak of sword light and soared into the sky.

The sky is vast and the earth is boundless.

The two transformed into swords and soared into the sky at a speed comparable to chasing stars and the moon, covering millions of miles in a single day.

Even so, compared to the endless sky, he was still just Canghai.

After flying for seven consecutive days, when Chen Nianzhi looked back, he found that he could now overlook the vast Three Vein Ancient Region, and even the outline of the Eastern Wilderness was right in front of him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

From the Nine Heavens, endless gales howled, accompanied by thunder and lightning, each gust carrying the intent of destruction.

If it were a Nascent Soul True Lord in the Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation, flying to this height would be too much for them. If they flew any higher, they would not be able to withstand the mighty gales and divine lightning, and they would be in danger of being seriously injured if they were not careful.

Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong possessed powerful Law Power, so they were naturally unafraid of such dangers and continued to fly upwards.

After flying for another seven or eight days, at this altitude, the gale and thunder were exceptionally strong, and even Jiang Linglong was finding it difficult to cope.

She frowned, then said, "Flying any higher, the Nine Heavens Gale is already extremely powerful, and my cultivation is insufficient to break through it."

"It's alright." Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said calmly, "I'll take you to see."

As he spoke, Chen Nianzhi summoned the Earth Sovereign Bell, which stabilized the power of the Nine Heavens Gale, and carried Jiang Linglong upwards.

Before long, the two broke through the endless thunderclouds and gales, and flew above the endless clouds.

This is it.

Looking down at the endless sea of clouds, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but smile.

Having broken through Nine Heavens fierce winds and sea of thunder, the vast sky above the clouds became much more peaceful.

At the edge of the sky, a blazing sun shone brightly, painting the clouds for thousands of miles with its rosy glow.

In the distant sky, wisps of clouds drift across the Nine Heavens, conveying a sense of utmost purity and clarity.

"It's the aura of the Heavenly Dao."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly reached out and caught a wisp of smoke in her hand, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

The aura of Heavenly Dao is the purest and clearest energy, and only in the Nine Heavens heavens can such a precious thing be born.

It is said that once enough Heavenly Dao energy is gathered, it can be condensed into the legendary Heavenly Dao Qi.

This was the first time the two had witnessed the aura of the Heavenly Dao, and they were delighted to collect it for a moment. Then Chen Nianzhi said, "It's a pity that collecting the Heavenly Dao Qi is time-consuming and laborious, otherwise I wouldn't want to leave."

Jiang Linglong shook her head and said with a smile, "When I break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in a while, my Second Primordial Embryo will be able to advance to the Tier 5 Upper Grade. At that time, I'll let the Second Primordial Embryo collect the materials."

"Alright."

Chen Nianzhi nodded; such matters were indeed best handled by the second Nascent Soul cultivator.

As the two were talking, they suddenly noticed a cloud flying over from afar, which turned out to be a pale blue, ethereal cloud.

"Hey, it's Qian Heaven Cloud."

Chen Nianzhi was overjoyed. The Qian Heaven Cloud was a rare treasure from the Nine Heavens, and the one in front of him was of extremely high quality, probably enough to refine a Upper-Tier Spirit Treasure.

With such a treasure delivered to her doorstep, Chen Nianzhi naturally wouldn't let it pass.

He raised his hand, intending to capture the Qian Heaven Cloud, but divine objects possess a spirit, and the Qian Heaven Cloud, being formless and intangible, instantly dissipated into a cloud of smoke, escaping from Chen Nianzhi's grasp.

The two attacked again, with Chen Nianzhi unleashing the Yin-Yang Void Realm and Jiang Linglong activating the Five-Element Divine Light to absorb it, but unfortunately, both efforts were in vain.

The Qian Heaven Cloud were not within the Five Elements, were not restrained by the primordial magnetic field, and were formless in their gathering and dispersing, making them almost impossible to control. They flew away easily.

"What a treasure!"

Chen Nianzhi sighed in admiration, but also felt a pang of heartache. If this Qian Heaven Cloud were refined into a defensive Spirit Treasure, it would likely be able to defend against all kinds of Spirit Treasure treasures and divine Divine Ability, making it almost impossible to restrain.

Unfortunately, with such a precious treasure right before his eyes, he had no way to control it and could only watch helplessly as it flew away.

"What a pity, we didn't know we'd have such fortuitous opportunity."

Jiang Linglong also felt a pang of regret, saying with heartache, "To subdue this creature, there is almost no other way besides finding a special method to restrain it. It's no surprise that neither of us can obtain it."

Having missed out on a great treasure, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong could only suppress their heartache and continue their journey through this void.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been flying when suddenly they sensed an incredibly powerful aura coming from the distant void.

"This aura... it's from Evil Dao."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered, and then she flew over with Jiang Linglong.

Before long, they saw a huge cloud floating in the void, and not far away, an old man dressed in blood-red robes stood in the sky, urging a black treasure bottle to quickly collect the Qian Heaven Cloud.

"It's the Blood-Robed Old Freak."

Chen Nianzhi's expression changed slightly as she recognized the man's origins.

The Blood-Robed Old Freak was a famous Demonic Path cultivator in the Three Vein Ancient Region. He was Seventh Nascent Soul Layer cultivator with an eccentric and domineering personality and extremely ruthless methods.

We absolutely cannot let him succeed.

Chen Nianzhi's expression changed, and she quickly spoke up.

This Blood-Robed Old Freak was already quite powerful. If he were to obtain this Qian Heaven Cloud and refine it into Divine Ability or a defensive Law Treasure, his ability to survive would likely increase significantly, making him almost impossible to kill.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi instantly summoned the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords and slashed at the Blood-Robed Old Freak across the boundless void.

"Damn it, who's ruining the Ancestor's plans?"

The Blood-Robed Old Freak's expression changed drastically. Seeing Chen Nianzhi and the other person flying over, he immediately revealed a ferocious look.

With a flick of his wrist, a blood-red robe flew up, its surface radiating crimson light, transforming into a ghostly figure that lunged at Chen Nianzhi.

"Watch out, it's the Blood Ghost Robe."
