After seeing off the woman with double pupils, Zhu Chen returned to his residence in Peacock City.

With a great calamity approaching in the lower realm, the major sects in the upper realm will surely take action as well.

For the next period of time, he must improve his cultivation level as much as possible.

Otherwise, if he were to encounter a force like the Immortal Palace, he would most likely fall into crisis again.

"Now that the nine immortal energies on my body have been condensed, my Heaven-Opening Dao Body has been initially formed, and my divine fire has been stabilized, the next step is to use these external things as fuel to further temper my Dao Body, solidify my foundation, and break through to a higher realm."

Zhu Chen's eyes gleamed, and he had already made up his mind.

He first took out the "Star Core Tempering Orchid".

"—Whoa!!!"

The moment the crystal box was opened, a soft starlight and an extremely pure aura of stellar life essence burst forth from the box and permeated the room.

The room seemed to be instantly transformed into a miniature starry sky, with tiny starlight points automatically appearing and swirling around.

Without hesitation, Zhu Chen swallowed it directly.

"--boom!!!"

The precious medicine, upon entering his stomach, did not immediately transform into a surging medicinal force. Instead, it melted away like ice and snow, transforming into countless tiny yet dazzling starlight points that merged into Zhu Chen's limbs and bones. After passing through his meridians and acupoints, it finally converged into the nine strands of immortal energy that resided in his dantian.

next second.

The nine streams of immortal energy seemed to have been infused with new vitality, and at the same time emitted a clear and melodious buzzing sound.

The phantom images of the true dragon, the divine phoenix, and the Kunpeng that evolved from within also began to become increasingly clear and lifelike.

More importantly, that trace of pure stellar law aura began to resonate with the fragments of the creation principles contained within the immortal energy.

Zhu Chen closed his eyes and focused inward, guiding the primordial energy that had merged with the new power to begin a new cycle of circulation, tempering every inch of his skin, bones, internal organs, and even the smallest life particles.

On the surface of his body, a chaotic, dark yellow luster flowed endlessly, and ancient runes flickered faintly beneath his skin, as if re-engraving the traces of the Great Dao.

As time went on, Zhu Chen began to refine and absorb more precious medicines.

His physical strength and the divine aura emanating from his body both increased rapidly.

gradually.

The residence where Zhu Chen was located could no longer completely isolate the strange phenomena caused by his cultivation.

“——Buzz!”

Before long, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several miles began to converge uncontrollably towards Zhu Chen's courtyard, eventually forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy.

But the center of the vortex did not absorb violently, but rather it was a rhythmic inhalation and exhalation, as if a colossal creature was breathing.

Soon, another strange and auspicious sign appeared in the sky.

A faint nine-colored glow could be seen flowing behind the clouds, and occasionally a blurry Dao rune would flash by, causing the surrounding laws of heaven and earth to resonate subtly.

The core area of ​​Peacock City.

Several elders who were discussing matters simultaneously sensed something and rushed out of the main hall, looking in the direction where Zhu Chen was in seclusion.

"Is this... young friend Zhu Chen in seclusion?"

An elder, sensing the heart-pounding fluctuations of the laws, couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face: "Such a phenomenon... is simply unheard of. He seems to be tempering himself and communicating with the Great Dao in a way that is difficult for us to understand!"

Another elder nodded silently: "It resonates with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the radiant glow arises spontaneously, with the laws of the Dao appearing and disappearing... This is by no means a scene that should appear when breaking through to the Divine Fire Realm or True God Realm. This child's foundation is far beyond our imagination. Given time, he will surely become a giant who stirs up the winds and clouds of the Upper Realm!"

Although the others did not speak, their eyes all showed the same shock.

At the same time, they were also very fortunate that the peacock clan could form a good relationship with such a person.

Zhu Chen was completely unaware of the strange phenomena outside.

His mind was now completely absorbed in his own transformation.

Nourished by numerous precious medicines, the nine streams of immortal energy not only became more condensed and robust, but their circulation among themselves also became more perfect and harmonious, faintly forming an ever-renewing "Immortal Foundation Dao Domain".

His dantian fire was burning fiercely, its color gradually changing from crimson gold to chaotic color, and at the core of the flame, it seemed that a miniature "Dao seed" was being conceived.

More importantly, his Heaven-Opening Dao Body has been tempered and its strength and potential have been enhanced once again. His blood energy is like a dragon, surging and roaring within his body, and every move he makes contains terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and seas.

While Zhu Chen was in seclusion cultivating...

The Immortal Mountain in the lower realm also welcomed a distinguished guest.

"—Boom!" Violent explosions and the sound of buildings collapsing echoed continuously from the outskirts of Mount Bulao, accompanied by cries of alarm.

A large number of low-level disciples of Immortal Mountain fled from the foot of the mountain to the top.

Behind them, a figure was moving with lightning speed from the foot of Mount Everlasting straight towards the summit.

All the disciples who tried to stop him were blown away like straws.

The person who is forcibly breaking into the Immortal Mountain is none other than Shi Hao!

His black hair flew wildly, his aura surged to the sky, and golden runes and the phantom of the Kunpeng flashed alternately. Despite only being at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he unleashed a terrifying combat power that made even a Array Formation Realm expert's scalp tingle.

"Stop him, stop him quickly!"

"Activate the mountain protection formation!"

"Quickly, go and invite the elder who is in seclusion!"

The disciples of Immortal Mountain were both shocked and furious.

They had always cultivated within their clan; when had they ever seen such a fierce mountain explorer?
What's more, the other party looks like just a teenager!

But this young man, almost single-handedly, was about to tear down their mountain gate!

"Those who stand in my way will be suppressed!"

With a roar, Shi Hao unleashed a punch. The golden fist imprint transformed into the ferocious head of a Suanni (a mythical lion-like creature), blasting three early-stage formation-realm deacons, along with their weapons, flying away and crashing into a section of stone wall.

He was anxious and only wanted to find his parents as soon as possible. Although he held back, his blows were still brutal, and his men fled in terror.

The people at Mount Bulao are truly tragic.

Previously, Zhu Chen caused a great disturbance, and almost all the high-level cultivators in the clan were killed.

Now they've run into Shi Hao, whose strength has skyrocketed.

It's like when it rains, it pours; there's no stopping it at all!

Along the way, Shi Hao had already extracted information from the panicked words of the Immortal Mountain disciples, and found out where his parents might be imprisoned.

He broke through the last barrier and finally arrived at a secluded courtyard shrouded in a powerful array.

"Father, Mother, I've come to find you!"

With tears in his eyes, Shi Hao stood outside the courtyard and shouted loudly, his voice filled with excitement.

Without hesitation, he unleashed the full power of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, transforming his hands into incomparably sharp golden claws, fiercely tearing at the array light barrier that enveloped the courtyard.

"—Sizzle!"

The array light barrier, strong enough to defend against attacks from the peak of the Array Realm, was actually torn open with a huge gash by Shi Hao's claw strike, which combined the speed and sharpness of the Kunpeng.

Shi Hao flashed through the crack and stepped directly into the courtyard.

However, when he rushed into the courtyard and saw the scene before him, the joy on his face instantly froze.

Three people were sitting at the stone table in the center of the courtyard.

Two of them were his parents, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining, whom he longed for day and night.

However, there was a young boy sitting between Shi Ziling and Qin Yining.

The boy looked a few years younger than him, dressed in imposing armor, with a handsome face that bore a resemblance to him.

The other person was currently nestled close to Qin Yining.

Shi Ziling's hand was gently stroking the boy's head.

The Shi couple, who had been looking at the boy with gentle eyes, turned to Shi Hao, who had suddenly barged in, when they heard the noise.

Their eyes widened in shock, followed by unbelievable ecstasy.

But amidst this ecstasy, there was also a hint of indescribable complexity!

Shi Hao stood at the gap in the broken formation, covered in battle dust and blood. He stared blankly at his parents and the boy, not knowing what to say. He felt a chill run through his body from the soles of his feet.

At this moment, Shi Hao's world collapsed!
