The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1547 - 1543: Seeking A Place for Bitter Cultivation

Chapter 1547: Chapter 1543: Seeking A Place for Bitter Cultivation

"The first calamity of the cosmos is called ’Chaos Break,’ where Pangu sacrificed himself to form the Three Realms. The Second Calamity is known as ’Heaven’s Pillar Collapses,’ where Nuwa mended the sky with stones. The Third Calamity is ’Chiyou’s Fall,’ where Celestials and Demons fought the earth-stabilizing war. The Fourth Calamity is ’Sealing the Divine,’ where the Heavenly Court and the Underworld saw the fall of Sages. With each Great Calamity, all beings across the Three Realms, be they Celestials, Demons, or Demonic Ghosts, must partake and fight for that sliver of a chance to survive. Those without the courage and resolve to fight to death can only retreat into the Immortal Tomb, await the fall during the calamity, dissolve their physical forms, have their souls reincarnated, and hope to resume their celestial fate thousands of lifetimes later," said Fire Spirit Child in a calm and steady voice.

"Fire Daoist friend, now that the various factions of the Three Realms are openly and secretly competing, and both the demon clan and Demon Clan are covertly observing, could it really be that a disaster far greater than The disaster of demons is about to descend?" Shen Luo, hearing this notion for the first time, felt his heart stir and after pondering for a moment, he asked.

"I am merely a small, remnant soul; how could I grasp the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao? I can only say that the current situation of the Three Realms eerily mirrors that before the War of Gods-Sealing," spoke Fire Spirit Child solemnly.

"Regardless of whether this is the Celestial Secret Realm or whether there are many tombs of Elders here, none of that concerns me for now," after a long silence, Shen Luo finally exhaled and spoke.

"Are you planning to find a place for arduous Cultivation?" Fire Spirit Child’s voice regained its usual lightness.

"Indeed," nodded Shen Luo.

Hearing Fire Spirit Child’s words made him even more determined to pursue arduous cultivation. Even if the outside world was undergoing abrupt changes, he now had no time to attend to it.

"Whether exploring other parts of this Secret Realm or returning to the Tianyan Palace, I need to enhance my strength. I will also take this opportunity to use a special divine technique and scrutinize Cai Zhu’s condition more carefully," said Fire Spirit Child.

"Really? For that, my thanks, Fire Daoist friend," Shen Luo, hearing this, was delighted.

Cai Zhu’s cultivation issues had always been a thorn in his side, and he was deeply grateful for Fire Spirit Child’s thoughtful assistance, success or not.

Shen Luo then turned and flew towards a large island not far away. This island was vast, spanning a hundred li, with several large mountain ranges. Much of it was covered in sea mist, perennially hidden from the sun, making it an ideal place for secluded cultivation.

He landed at a hidden spot on one of the mountain peaks, his fingers flicked, and his powerful Sword Qi easily carved out a Cave Mansion in the mountain wall.

Shen Luo took out several Arrays and set them up in various parts of the Cave Mansion, then covered the entire Cave Mansion with the Liangyi Micro-dust Array, finally settling down with peace of mind.

"I will go into the Free and Easy Mirror to set up the Array for investigation," said Fire Spirit Child, and he was about to turn into the Free and Easy Mirror.

"Wait a second, how exactly do you plan to examine Cai Zhu’s condition this time?" Shen Luo called out to Fire Spirit Child.

From Fire Spirit Child’s words, this examination seemed out of the ordinary, concerning Cai Zhu, and he couldn’t be excessively cautious.

"You are not well-versed in Array Techniques, and you might not understand if I elaborate, but simply put, I plan to combine the Spirit Refining Array with several other investigative arrays I previously mastered to meticulously examine Cai Zhu’s condition," explained Fire Spirit Child.

"Are you going to employ the Spirit Refining Array? Isn’t it true you haven’t fully comprehended this array yet? Isn’t there a risk in using it prematurely?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.

"There are inevitable risks, but apart from this method, I have no other means. Consider carefully whether to accept this," Fire Spirit Child said.

Shen Luo couldn’t make decisions for Cai Zhu, so he had to ask her opinion; unexpectedly, she agreed without hesitation.

"Cai Zhu, think it over carefully, don’t be impulsive," seeing her swift decision, Shen Luo quickly advised.

"There’s no need to think further, I trust Fire Daoist friend will ensure my safety. Besides, cousin, you might face increasingly formidable enemies in the future. How can I help you if I cannot enhance my cultivation level?" Cai Zhu’s expression was exceedingly determined.

Seeing her firmness, Shen Luo had no other choice but to caution Fire Spirit Child to be extra careful.

He then arranged his own cultivation, asked Zhao Feiji to continue guarding inside and outside the cave mansion, and entered the secret chamber himself, waving his sleeve on the ground.

A black straw cushion appeared on the ground, emanating a pure Yin Qi without any coldness, sitting on it made him feel comfortable from the inside out.

This cushion was made from undying wood, which has the miraculous effects of suppressing heart demons and nurturing the divine soul; he dismantled the black coffin and made the cushion using its essence.

Shen Luo sat down on the cushion, not immediately starting his closed-door cultivation, but instead took out the mysterious stone box and the many high-grade Daoist armors he had obtained from the Tiangong Hall, including the larger golden cannon.

Previously, he was busy playing hide and seek with Che Qingtian and had no chance to properly examine these gains.

Shen Luo first picked up the golden cannon, his Divine Sense entered it, operating the Innate Treasure-refining Technique to refine the prohibition inside, and soon he understood the internal structure of the cannon— it was basically identical to the Divine Craftsman Cannon, with attack methods also generally the same, but the materials used in several key sections were better than those used in the Divine Craftsman Cannon.

As he had guessed before, this golden cannon was an enhanced version of the Divine Craftsman Cannon.

The inside of this cannon was intact; it could be used as long as five high-grade Daoist crystals were installed, and its power was several times greater than that of the Divine Craftsman Cannon. Even a Taiyi Existence being hit would have a great chance of direct obliteration.

However, the cost of great power is high consumption; each attack from this Divine Craftsman cannon would exhaust all the spiritual power within the five high-grade Daoist crystals.

Shen Luo couldn’t help but smile wryly, the high-grade Daoist crystals he had could only fire the cannon twice.

He shook his head, put down the Divine Craftsman cannon, and took out an extremely long, pitch-black war spear over ten meters long, its extremely fine tip invisibly reaching straight for the throat, like a soul-pulling hand in the dark night.

This spear was covered with mysterious Yan patterns, also a piece of high-grade Daoist armor.

Shen Luo operated his Divine Sense to sense the situation of the spear.

"So this spear is called ’Dark Night’, what a fine Dark Night Daoist Spear," he quickly withdrew his Divine Sense, eyes sparkling with excitement.

This spear, unlike the Divine Craftsman cannon, was a one-time use Daoist spear that contained the power of the dark night and could conceal traces and aura. It was a top-tier assassination weapon.

Even better was that this spear didn’t require cultivation like other Daoist armors, which need to cultivate contemplative techniques to a very high realm to use; generally, they can be used by a True Immortal Cultivator with a little guidance.

Shen Luo carefully stored the Dark Night Daoist Spear; it could be of great use at a critical time.

He then checked the other powerful Daoist armors which were all extraordinary items, especially a flying Daoist chariot, which was a rare flight Daoist armor, with an exceptionally sturdy body and incredibly fast flight speed.

After inspecting those Daoist armors, Shen Luo picked up the mystic stone box and performed a gesture.

A flash of purple light passed, and a Purple Polar Ice Pearl floated out from the box, suspended in mid-air.

This pearl contained extremely powerful Purple Extreme Ice Flame; if he could refine and absorb it, it would be greatly beneficial to his Indigo Ocean Divine Technique.

However, the Purple Extreme Ice Flame was a hornet’s nest, exploding upon touch; it couldn’t be refined just by wanting to do so.

At this moment, the coldness of the Purple Extreme Ice Flame was retracted within the pearl, not leaking out even a fraction.
