The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 168: Conquering Su Qingyin, super baptism!

After a short standoff with Garuda,
Seeing that the other party had no intention of fighting, Lu Chen did not provoke him anymore, but waited quietly in place.

After a while, another person came quickly, and the person was not unfamiliar. It was Su Qingyin who had made a deal with Lu Chen in front of Denglong Gate before.

Su Qingyin was still riding on the black four-winged spirit insect, and she was extremely fast. When she arrived outside the Tianhe River, she saw Lu Chen and others who had arrived first, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

"It seems you came quickly."

Su Qingyin looked at Lu Chen with a smile, and then her eyes swept over Zhu Yan not far away without leaving a trace.

"Miss Su is not slow in coming either."

Lu Chen nodded with a smile.

"Did Master Lu obtain the Nine Prefectures' token?"

Su Qingyin asked curiously.

Lu Chen didn't say anything, but just stretched out the back of his hand. Five strange runes were faintly visible on the back of his hand, emitting a mysterious fluctuation, faintly echoing the Milky Way above the sky.

According to the rules of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, only disciples of the Ancient Heavenly Palace who have been recognized by the Nine Palaces and hold the token of the Nine Palaces can enter the Tianhe.

The so-called token is actually a kind of spiritual power mark. This kind of mark is usually found in the ancient heavenly palace and is only possessed by dragon-branded disciples or the masters of various mansions.

And in this ancient heavenly palace where evil things are everywhere, being able to obtain five tokens at least shows that Lu Chen has killed five dragon-level disciples.

As for the lords of each mansion, Su Qingyin shook her head slightly. Although Lu Chen was very powerful, she did not think that the former could deal with the lords of each mansion who had become evil. He should have killed several dragon-branded disciples like herself, helped them to be liberated, and thus obtained this token.

Lu Chen naturally didn't know what Su Qingyin was thinking. After showing the token in his hand, he continued, "Miss Su, do you have any destinations after this trip to the Heavenly Palace?"

Su Qingyin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why? Master Lu still wants to recruit me? I've said before that my master never gets involved in the disputes between the major forces in Tianluo Continent."

"If I join your Daluo Tianyu and lose his protection, can Master Lu protect me alone?"

Lu Chen smiled and said sincerely, "There is no deal in this world that cannot be negotiated. Miss Su will know whether I can protect her or not in a moment."

"As for the reward I offered, Miss Su might as well take a look at it first and then reply."

After saying that, Lu Chen took out a dark red scroll and threw it to Su Qingyin.

Su Qingyin took it, glanced at it lightly, and then her face changed slightly. She probed her spiritual power into it. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the surface of the scroll emitted a faint crystal luster, which bounced her spiritual power away and flew back into Lu Chen's hand.

"Where did you get this scroll?"

Su Qingyin's expression suddenly became very anxious, with a look of anxiety visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly. He noticed that Su Qingyin's reaction was a little unusual, and then said, "I came across the Sutra Library before and exchanged it from there. Miss Su has also seen this volume of skills?"

Su Qingyin's face showed a complicated expression, and then she nodded and said, "My master and I are practicing this technique, but it is incomplete. I came to the Ancient Heavenly Palace this time to obtain this technique and a strange insect, the Phoenix Insect."

"Oh? That's a coincidence."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment. It seemed that Master Su Qingyin had some inexplicable connection with the Second Hall Master. Perhaps he had obtained a part of the inheritance that was lost outside the Second Hall, which was why he had such achievements.

No wonder they knew that the Second Palace Master possessed the Phoenix Insect.

Su Qingyin looked at the silent Lu Chen, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip and whispered, "This scroll... is indeed very important to me. Mr. Lu, can you give it to me? I am willing to pay any price."

Lu Chen's heart moved, and then he shook his head and said slowly: "Miss Su, since this scroll is so important to you, I will naturally not be stingy. But I don't need you to do anything else. Just join the Daluo Tianyu and cultivate spirit insects for me, how about it?"

Hearing this, Su Qingyin took a deep breath, looked at Lu Chen with gratitude, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I know the value of this scroll. If you are worried, I am willing to sign a spiritual contract to ensure that you can rest assured."

Lu Chen smiled, but did not reject Su Qingyin's kindness. He then took out a golden scroll, and the spiritual power condensed into words on it. Finally, he flicked his finger and sent it in front of Su Qingyin.

Su Qingyin glanced at the words on the spiritual contract, and immediately a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes. She said in a tone of disbelief, "Only thirty years? Master Lu, isn't this a little short?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Thirty years is enough. After thirty years, if Miss Su is willing to stay, she can stay. If not, she can leave on her own. I will never force you."

Hearing this, Su Qingyin looked at Lu Chen with a complicated expression, then bit her finger, and a drop of blood fell on the spiritual contract, forming a spiritual seal.

Seeing this, Lu Chen waved his hand, and the spiritual contract turned into golden light and flew into the Qiankun bracelet, and the dark red scroll fell in front of Su Qingyin again.

He then smiled at the latter and said, "Miss Su, I will give you more guidance from now on."

Su Qingyin reached out to take it, stroking the scroll in her hand, as if she couldn't believe that she had obtained it so easily. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "Miss Su doesn't deserve it. Since I am already yours, you can just call me Qingyin."

"Humph, Master Lu is really in a good mood. He even took in a maid before breaking through. Is he afraid that he will die soon and wants to enjoy himself in advance?"

At this time, Xiao Xiao on the side finally couldn't help it, snorted coldly, and said in a rather indignant tone.

Lu Chen coughed lightly. For some reason, looking at Xiao Xiao's cold gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty and was about to say something.

At this moment, the sound of breaking wind began to be heard from the distant rear, and light and shadows flashed one after another and landed outside the Milky Way.

These lights and shadows all possess strong strength. At the very least, they have all reached the peak of the ninth level. Many of them are strong people trained by the top forces on the Tianluo Continent.

But there are also some unfamiliar faces, which are most likely from forces outside the Tianluo Continent.

Wow!
With the arrival of those lights and shadows, the majestic Milky Way in front seemed to be attracted, and then the clear and loud sound of water spread.

As the sound of water spread, everyone felt that the spiritual energy in their bodies began to become restless, as if it was being pulled by something.

It was at this moment that Lu Chen suddenly felt the token on the back of his hand gradually getting hot, and then turned into a ray of light and shot up into the sky.

Swish!Swish!
Light also shot up into the sky from other places, and finally gathered outside the Tianhe Seal, turning into a huge rune.

boom!
The ancient runes flowed, and the seal of Tianhe gradually cracked. A vast spiritual power swept out directly, making the whole world boil!

Swish swish!
As the seal opened, countless figures rushed out like a flood, rushing towards the Tianhe River! "Ahem, the Tianhe River is open, Sister Xiao Xiao, I'm leaving first. You guys can act accordingly."

Seeing that the sky river had opened, Lu Chen coughed lightly, then stepped on the ground, took off into the air, and rushed directly towards the crack in the sky river.

"Brother Lu, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Muchen also quickly took off into the air and flew away.

Su Qingyin watched the two of them leave, turned her head and smiled at Xiao Xiao, looked at Xiao Xiao meaningfully, and said, "Then I'll leave first. Although I don't know what your relationship with the young master is, I think that if the young lady has no intention of falling in love with the young master, there is no need for her to care about his private affairs."

"Don't embarrass anyone, girl, just take care of yourself."

After saying that, Su Qingyin tapped her toes and turned into a stream of light and flew into the Milky Way.

Xiao Xiao's face turned cold, and she snorted coldly, not knowing whether she was speaking to herself or others. She said, "Who cares about that guy's romantic debts? If he hadn't saved me several times, I wouldn't bother to care."

After saying that, he also took off into the air and flew towards the Tianhe River.

……

In the sky river,

As soon as Lu Chen stepped in, he felt an ancient breath that seemed to have been brewing for thousands of years coming towards him, making his eyes dazed. Then the golden dragon token on his waist burst out with golden light and turned into a light shield, enveloping him.

Lu Chen looked down at the Milky Way beneath his feet and saw that the water was crystal clear, as if it contained infinite power. Whenever the river rolled and huge waves swept over, even the space was distorted. If he did not have the identity token to protect him, he would probably be crushed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chen's mind moved, and the protective shield transformed from the token suddenly fell down, landed in the Milky Way, and shuttled through it.

"Brother Lu, wait for me!"

At this time, Muchen also came over with the white light shield transformed by the White Dragon Token, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at Muchen, frowning slightly, and could not help but scolding him: "Xiao Mu, why did you come up? With your strength, you can't capture the Sky River Spirit at all. Those things are generally of the ninth level of perfection. Go down quickly, don't put yourself in danger."

Hearing this, Muchen gave a bitter laugh and said, "Brother Lu, I'm not trying to capture the spirit of the Heavenly River. I'm just going to cultivate in the Heavenly River for a while and then leave. After all, the spiritual energy here is abundant, and one day of cultivation is equivalent to a month in the outside world."

"My White Dragon Card can be practiced for at least five days."

The Spirit of the Heavenly River is an essential component of the Heavenly River Baptism. Only by collecting enough Spirits of the Heavenly River can a perfect Heavenly River Baptism be brewed, thereby transforming the Dharmakaya.

Lu Chen nodded, and then instructed: "After you finish practicing, it's best to go to the spiritual formation brought by Lingyun. I have to collect the spirit of the Tianhe River these days and can't take care of you. Remember to be careful."

After saying that, Lu Chen waved his hand and directly controlled the golden light shield to rush towards the depths of the Tianhe River, where a large amount of Tianhe spirit was contained.

Seeing this, Muchen also sat down cross-legged and began to practice.

……

A few days later,

Deep in the Milky Way, a star-like ball of light occasionally floats by. Even from a long distance, one can still feel the terrifying power emanating from those stars.

Swish!
I saw a figure holding a golden dragon token that quickly cut through the river water and passed through the Milky Way at high speed. When he raised his hand, crystal-like beams of light shot out. Those star-like bright light balls had no power to resist and were absorbed into the light shield.

In just a few breaths, several balls of light fell into the hands of the figure and turned into crystal clear crystals.

There was a river flowing in the crystal stone, and a pure and vast wave was quietly emanating.
"I've already collected a hundred Sky River Spirits. Logically, that's enough for a Perfect Level Baptism. But is there a higher level of baptism above the Perfect Level?"

Lu Chen held the crystal in his hand and pondered for a moment. Then a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Let's collect a thousand first. After all, the more Tianhe Spirits we have, the stronger the baptism will be. I won't suffer any loss."

Immediately, Lu Chen's mind moved, and the golden dragon token under his feet flew up again and flew towards a distance.

……

After half a month,
In the Milky Way.

Lu Chen stood on the golden dragon token, and beside him were densely packed Tianhe spirits, almost covering the entire light shield.

Lu Chen looked at the thousand Tianhe Spirits around him, touched his chin and thought: "I can't let go, let's just start the baptism, I don't know if it will work."

Immediately, Lu Chen's mind moved, and he continuously input these Tianhe spirits into the Golden Dragon Token.

These spirits of the Heavenly River are extremely mysterious and can only be stored with the Golden Dragon Token. As long as you put these spirits of the Heavenly River in, you should be able to truly receive the baptism of the Heavenly River.

Bo! Bo! Bo!
The spirit of the Tianhe River continuously poured into the tokens. Lu Chen watched quietly until the 100th token, when something unexpected suddenly happened.

The spirit of the Tianhe River did not enter the Golden Dragon Token. Instead, it was repelled and bounced out.

"How is this going?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly, then looked at the Tianhe spirits around him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "So that's how it is, are they devouring each other?"

Due to the small space, the spirits of the Tianhe River around him inevitably collided with each other. At the time of the collision, it seemed that some of the Tianhe crystals would become brighter, while others would become dimmer.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then he waved his hand, leaving marks on the one hundred Tianhe spirits, and then waved his sleeves.

One hundred Tianhe spirits suddenly flew out, and when they came into contact with the water of Tianhe River, they immediately absorbed the vast spiritual power like a whale. In just a few breaths, brilliant light burst out.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the one hundred Tianhe spirits merged together like stars!
In an instant, the fused spirit of the Tianhe River was like the scorching sun, shining in all directions and emitting endless light!

Seeing this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated. Immediately, nine hundred Tianhe Spirits flew out and merged into the huge Tianhe Spirit.

Rumble!
In the sky, there seemed to be an endless scorching sun rising rapidly!
In just a few breaths, a ball of light about a thousand feet in size was suspended in front of Lu Chen.
