Chapter 292: Chapter 66: Annihilation_1
Five hundred kilometers south of the East Saint’s settlement.
In a deserted land.
The Concealment Array was quietly operating.
Shen Fu was meditating with his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Wang Ba had taken out the Meteor Flame Iron, attempting to open up his second Dantian.
It was his first time trying it on an ore.
Perhaps due to his many practice attempts with eggs, this attempt to create a second Dantian went incredibly smoothly.
Soon, using his mana, he had opened an incredibly small space inside the ore that lay somewhere between existence and nonexistence.
Curiously, acupoints began to form on the surface of the ore…
To avoid attracting attention, Wang Ba crushed the Spirit Stone, using its Spiritual Energy to seal the Meteor Flame Iron.
Soon, this newly opened second Dantian began its first absorption and refining process.
Wang Ba felt it and found that the speed of refining wasn’t as ideal as he expected.
It was even slower than the transformation speed of his poorest Spiritual Root, the Earth Spirit Root.
“Does this mean that the Meteor Flame Iron corresponds to an average Spiritual Root qualification?”
Wang Ba pondered quietly.
This point was mentioned in the “Chaotic Yuan Method.”
Using different treasured objects as the second Dantian, their corresponding Spiritual Root qualifications could be high or low.
Here, ‘qualification’ referred more to the speed of absorption and transformation of Spiritual Energy.
Theoretically, the qualification of the corresponding Spiritual Root should be as high as possible.
After all, once the second Dantian has been cultivated, it can be integrated into the body’s original Dantian, supplementing the Body’s Spiritual Root and artificially creating the ‘Five Virtues Body’.
Yet Wang Ba didn’t mind, because the second Dantian he currently aimed to cultivate was mainly for accommodating the ‘Yin Devouring Mother Insect’.
Unfortunately, the grade of the Yin Devouring Mother Insect was too high, being a Class II top grade Spirit Insect.
Despite being persistent, Wang Ba tried to place the Mother Insect into the second Dantian, only to feel an immediate sense of collapse.
“Still too weak…”
Wang Ba shook his head.
“It seems I can only continue to cultivate. I must at least advance the cultivation of my second Dantian to the Foundation Establishment stage before I can barely keep the Yin Devouring Mother Insect in there long term.”
As long as the Yin Devouring Mother Insect can hide in the second Dantian for a long time, and due to the close connection between the second Dantian and himself, he can easily hide his soul’s aura.
In this way, he can leave the Tianmen Cult whenever he wants without worry.
After contemplating for a while.
Suddenly, he heard an outrageous roar coming from outside the array.
“Who dares to interfere with the Sect-protection Formation of my Tianmen Cult’s base!”
“Lu Yuansheng?”
Wang Ba immediately recognized the voice, and his expression changed slightly.
“Someone is attacking the East Saint’s base?”
Realizing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but stand up, his brow furrowed.
A considerable concern arose in his heart.
He was certainly not worried about the Tianmen Cult, but Bu Chan who remained at the East Saint’s settlement.
Although the Tianmen Cult had many Golden Core-level Elders, with the Sect Hierarch’s whereabouts currently unknown and the Golden Core Elders never appearing, Wang Ba was quite concerned.
And it was undoubtedly a Golden Core-level elder who would dare attack the East Saint’s settlement at this time.
“Could it be the Incense Fire Dao?!”
Then, he suddenly heard another loud voice.
“Friends from the five sects, please rest assured and attack…”
“The five sects…the five sects of Chen State!”
Wang Ba shivered with alarm!
He had read many records about the five sects of Chen State and knew clearly that although the five sects didn’t have an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, they had more than thirty Golden Core Elders combined.
Excluding some who guarded the Sects, more than twenty Golden Core Elderness were enough if they decided to attack…
Thinking of this probability, Wang Ba’s heart sank!
“Elder Brother!”
Shen Fu was also awakened by the roaring of Lu Yuansheng and the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, and also realized the danger to the East Saint’s settlement.
But he seemed to think of something and hurriedly reassured him:
“Elder Brother… don’t worry too much. With the Sect Hierarch and many Golden Core Elders in the East Saint’s settlement, nothing will happen.”
As long as the East Saint’s settlement is not breached, Bu Chan will not be in danger.
However, upon hearing this, Wang Ba seemed to understand something, and shaking his head, he said with a difficult expression:
“No, the words of Lu Yuansheng just now have already revealed to everyone that Ning Daohuan and the other Golden Core Elders are probably not in the East Saint settlement anymore!”
“What?”
Shen Fu was taken aback, but then he understood.
If there were more than Lu Yuansheng in the settlement, and the Sect-protection formation was not refined by him, how could Lu Yuansheng in Zhongyuan City know that someone was attacking the formation at the East Saint settlement?
His expression immediately changed as well.
Still holding a glimmer of hope, he hesitated and said:
“Ning Daohuan… wouldn’t really abandon this settlement, would he?”
“There are still so many Cultivators inside.”
“Maybe, it’s a trick to lure the people from the five sects outside and trap them all at once?”
“I hope so.”
Wang Ba, with a tense look, stared into the distance muttering.
But the foreboding in his heart grew heavier.
Soon after,
From outside Zhongyuan City, a tragic scream suddenly sounded!
Wang Ba couldn’t help but tense!
Following that, a blinding burst of light exploded within his sight.
It was so intense that it blocked out the sun!
“A Golden Core elder has fallen!”
“Was it from the Incense Fire Dao or was it Lu Yuansheng?”
The overwhelming mix of mana and soul power made it impossible for Wang Ba to identify the link between the fallen individual.
