Star River Inverted Refining God Diagram

Listening Wind Pavilion's top floor.

The Green Turtle lay sprawled atop the desk, blinking its mung-bean-sized eyes as a question mark appeared on its forehead.

But it did not remain silent for long.

After all, it had once promised to repay Luo Chen and had never intended to go back on its word.

Li Changsheng looked Luo Chen up and down and asked curiously.

"How many Mysterious Apertures have you opened now, little friend?"

The person before him could not be judged by common sense.

Even after living for over five thousand years, he had never seen such a freak.

Moreover, he was currently gravely weakened and could not see through the strength Luo Chen had concealed with the Aura of Years.

Although he had seen Luo Chen make a move and knew roughly how strong he was.

Luo Chen had no intention of hiding it from Li Changsheng. "Three hundred and sixty Mysterious Apertures."

Those words left Li Changsheng silent for half a minute.

He sighed with emotion. "Your bone age is only seventeen, isn't it?"

Luo Chen waved a hand modestly. "I'll be eighteen soon."

After reflecting for a moment, Li Changsheng grew serious as well.

"I do have some Visualization Charts in my collection, but only three can truly be called peerless inheritances."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and his face immediately filled with anticipation.

Li Changsheng did not keep him in suspense and began explaining in detail.

"The first is the Visualization Chart I cultivate—the Mystic Turtle Carrying Mountain Suppressing Heaven Diagram!"

"The second is the inherited Visualization Chart of that Sacred One from the Dragon Palace—the Nine Profound Chi Dragon Swallowing Sea Diagram!"

"Both are the innate inheritances of Sacred Ones like us and rank among the foremost Visualization Charts. If you choose either one, this old man can guide you onto the path."

Li Changsheng revealed a humanlike smile as he looked at Luo Chen.

"And the last one?" Rather than choosing immediately, Luo Chen asked curiously.

By normal logic, the last one to appear would be the strongest, if not the most unusual.

Li Changsheng did not keep him in suspense either and said directly.

"The third was something I happened to obtain in a Secret Realm. It is called—the Star River Inverted Refining God Diagram!"

"This Visualization Chart is the most dangerous. It depicts the strange celestial phenomenon of an inverted Star River and nourishes the soul with the mighty power of heaven and earth."

Luo Chen fell into thought, considering it seriously.

Three peerless Visualization Charts were available for him to choose from.

This was also a happy kind of trouble.

Li Changsheng did not disturb him. After a while, he spoke seriously.

"I can guide you through the first two inheritances, but for the last one, you can only rely on yourself. You must think it through."

Luo Chen nodded lightly.

But he saw things differently.

"If I cultivate the Visualization Charts of Heaven and Earth Divine Saints like you, can I still reach the pinnacle?"

This was his greatest concern.

If he cultivated someone else's innate inheritance and could not bring the Visualization Chart to completion, that would be truly unpleasant.

"You need not worry, little friend. The human race can cultivate them as well; it is merely that they will not suit you as well as they suit us..."

Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Then I'll cultivate the last one."

Luo Chen answered seriously.

This reply abruptly cut off what Li Changsheng had been about to say.

He found Luo Chen's way of thinking somewhat incomprehensible.

He had explained those drawbacks perfectly clearly.

Yet he could not understand why Luo Chen had made such a choice.

Still, he would not stop him.

A flash of flowing light appeared atop the desk, and a small ball with a dark, pitted surface emerged.

Young people had never suffered reality's beatings.

If he could not cultivate it, would he not still have to beg this old man for help?

Li Changsheng thought smugly.

Luo Chen did not think too much about it.

It was simply because, since Li Changsheng had brought this last Visualization Chart out of a Secret Realm, there should not be many people cultivating it.

Since they were all peerless Visualization Charts, it made little difference.

To bring out their greatest power, it still depended on the cultivator.

Luo Chen came back to his senses and looked at the Small Broken Ball that had suddenly appeared on the desk. Curious, he picked it up.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't be unable to find it next time.

Li Changsheng reminded him.

"This is a Star Fragment. It contains a peerless Visualization Chart.

"Of course, you must use spiritual power to comprehend the method hidden within."

Hearing this, Luo Chen placed the small ball in his palm.

Spiritual power?

What was spiritual power?

Within his sea of consciousness, an invisible force trembled faintly, yet it could not be released beyond his body or break free from the shackles of flesh.

Luo Chen felt somewhat helpless.

Li Changsheng had expected this and was not surprised. He explained.

"The Divine Intent Realm cultivates the mind and soul. It is divided into three stages: Initial Manifestation of Divine Sense, Condensation of Divine Intent into Form, and Divine Heart Connecting to the Profound!"

"You must first condense a thread of spiritual power capable of breaking through the shackles of the flesh before you can come into contact with the inheritance within."

"Of course, for the other two Visualization Charts, I can directly send their divine essence into your sea of consciousness, allowing you to observe them directly."

"How about it? It is not too late to change your mind."

Listening to those highly suggestive words.

Luo Chen remained unmoved. Instead, he became even more interested in the Small Broken Ball in his hand.

He shook his head and said.

"Senior, let me try a little more."

Seeing that Luo Chen had not wavered, Li Changsheng said nothing further.

"Aren't you a Demon Suppression Captain? You can exchange for some heavenly treasures that condense spiritual power from the Demon Suppression Bureau. That will save you a great deal of time."

Li Changsheng offered a suggestion.

Luo Chen thought about it carefully and felt that he was right.

But he had joined the Demon Suppression Bureau too recently and had accumulated little merit.

He was in no hurry, though. After all, he had a cheat.

Luo Chen put away the Visualization Chart inheritance, his gaze shifting to Li Changsheng.

"You have something else to ask?" Li Changsheng asked curiously.

Luo Chen voiced the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Senior Li, why did you end up in such a state?"

To be honest, if Li Changsheng had not said there would be a reward back then, Luo Chen definitely would not have concealed him.

If Li Changsheng's enemies discovered him in the future.

A being capable of severely wounding a Fifth Realm Demon King to such a state could crush him to death with ease.

But now.

Luo Chen thought about the Visualization Chart he had obtained.

He could only say: It really does smell sweet!

Li Changsheng sighed softly, his mung-bean-sized eyes looking at Luo Chen.

"Knowing too much will not do you any good."

Luo Chen did not back down and merely looked at him calmly.

"Alas!"

After a long while,

Li Changsheng let out a melancholy sigh and asked in return.

"If Dagan collapses, the Demon Suppression Bureau's position will become rather awkward. Would you choose to stand with King Zhenbei?"

"I live only for myself."

Luo Chen smiled and replied calmly.

He appeared composed on the surface, but countless thoughts had already flashed through Luo Chen's mind.

By now, the Twelve Fortresses of the Northern Border had all been completely brought under the Prince's Mansion's control.

And judging from Shangguan Changyue, the chief commander of Qingyuan City's Demon Suppression Bureau.

She had actually long since become a member of the Prince's Mansion.

Then it was not difficult to guess that the authority of the entire Northern Border Demon Suppression Bureau had likely long since sworn allegiance to King Zhenbei's Mansion.

Hearing Luo Chen's answer.

Li Changsheng gently shook his head. "The great tide will sweep you into choosing a side. No one can avoid it."

Luo Chen said nothing, his fingers lightly tapping the desk and producing crisp sounds.

Li Changsheng turned to look toward the White Dragon River and let out a long sigh.

"There are many Nirvana Realm Demon Kings and martial arts experts in this world, yet Sixth Realm cultivators are exceedingly rare.

"A hundred years ago, Dagan's Human Martial Saint, a Sixth Realm expert who had Forged the Dao, died when his lifespan ran dry.

"Ten years ago, Dagan's Imperial Preceptor found the Dragon Palace in the White Dragon River and made a deal with the Old Dragon."

"What deal?" Luo Chen became interested.

"In ten years, Leaping Dragon Gate—Waterwalk Dragon Transformation!"
