The enigmatic Chen Chen picked up his coffee cup. "The strategy of seclusion itself isn't the problem. I spent almost two years in Tingen before I found a way in. Trying to force your way into the main storyline when your strength is too low will only lead to your demise."

"Now that I've advanced to Sequence Five, I've gained the ability to anchor my own destiny and cause and effect. Perhaps you and the mortal Chen Chen won't be affected; you'll need to try it out."

Re:0 Chen Chen nodded. The mortal Chen Chen realized what was happening, and his heart suddenly started beating faster.

Without making a sound, he stood up from the futon, walked to the round table, and looked into the eyes of the enigmatic Chen Chen.

"How do I try?"

The enigmatic Chen Chen conjured a grayish-white bone fragment in his palm and held it there.

The bone fragments were only the size of a thumb.

"Now that I've reached Sequence 5, I can anchor my own destiny line... I've verified this with 0-08; causal manipulation is ineffective against me."

He pushed the bone fragment to the center of the round table.

"After the origin is synchronized, there should be corresponding changes. Currently, only you and Isaac urgently need this ability."

Isaac reached out and picked up the bone fragment.

The enigmatic Chen Chen picked up his coffee cup again.

"The Tingen matter is now closed."

I took a small sip and gently tapped the bottom of the cup against the table.

"On the train back to Backlund, I went through the application records for the East District drainage system renovation. I'm investigating the contacts between the Royalists and the Witch Cult; I'll make my move before the heavy smog hits."

"What about Sequence 4?" asked Chen Chen, a mortal.

"The promotion ceremony for VIPs is called 'Invitation of the Stars,' and as for celestial phenomena... this heavy smog is a perfect stage for it."

Chen Chen from the Dragon Clan sat up from the sofa.

"You seem to have it easy. On my side, Herzog is using the skins of Tachibana Masamune and the King to simultaneously control the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan... The location of their true forms is still uncertain. Perhaps we'll have a chance once Xia Mi has fully digested Norton's authority."

Tian Zechen sat up from the other end of the sofa and rubbed his eyes.

The delivery of the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique had just been completed... Chen Chen spent the entire time adjusting what he had just received, afraid that something might go wrong.

I've kept my microphone off until now.

Ethan shifted in his chair, his white wings retracting from the sides of the chair back, their pale gold tips drawing two short arcs in the gray mist.

"We have now reached the Great Firestone of Judgment. When we decipher it, we may be able to gain a new power."

Hinata Chen turned slightly to the side from the round table, the diamond-shaped mark between his eyebrows gleaming with a golden halo under the starlight.

"Regarding the matter of soul defects, I happen to have a case study here."

"The missing part of my soul was called Corpse Dog. Later, when my soul was restored, that sluggish feeling disappeared."

Chen Chen's Yang spirit slowly descended from above the futon, a flash of golden light between his brows that then vanished.

The spirit returned to the body, and he opened his eyes and stretched his neck.

"What I lack is the Youjing... the soul among the three souls that governs emotions, desires, and vitality. The gap corresponding to the lower corpse is this. Feng Baobao's innate state of being without the three corpses gave me a reference sample... her soul is a complete whole, without any trace of being missing. The difference between the two states is the method I'm looking for to supplement my innate state through acquired means."

He sat cross-legged on the futon and lightly touched his lower dantian with his finger.

"After you go back, each of you should conduct a self-examination. After the loss of the three souls and seven spirits is repaired in this space, traces will remain in the original missing positions."

Chen Chen, an ordinary man, stood up from the round table.

"My Void Heaven Palace will last for less than two years."

"The trump card was used up in the battle against Feng Xi. The Three Yin White Slaughter Sword Qi of the Human Calamity Sword was reduced to zero, and 20% of the essence blood was extracted... The price was these few white hairs by the ear. The original plan was to enter the Void Heaven Palace with the trump card to protect oneself in the late Core Formation stage, and then calmly form the Nascent Soul stage after coming out. Now that the trump card is gone, entering the Void Heaven Palace with the cultivation of the late Core Formation stage to face the Extreme Yin and the Profound Bone... cannot withstand it."

He paused, then tapped his finger lightly on the edge of the round table.

"Do it the other way around. Form the Nascent Soul first, then enter the Void Heaven Palace. There are still two years left."

"Getting ready?" Hinata asked.

"The Azure-Scaled Deer licked the life-giving liquid from the Life-Generating Bottle, awakening the dual bloodlines of the Deer-Shu and Jumang. It is now dormant beneath the roots of the Thunder Bamboo... The outcome will be clear in a year and a half at the earliest. The Thunder Bamboo has benefited from its influence, and its roots are already sprouting new buds under the catalysis of the Deer-Shu's vitality."

"What about the 'Shattering Core' stage?"

"Two Golden Cores, one Xuan Shui Tai Bai, and one Rebirth Pill. My divine sense has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and the spiritual energy released by the two cores is barely enough."

Chen Chen, a mortal, pulled his hands back from the edge of the round table and crossed his arms.

"Form your Nascent Soul within two years. After forming your Nascent Soul, enter the Void Heaven Palace. After leaving the Void Heaven Palace... return to Tiannan."

"Nangong Wan".

Tian Zechen sat up a little straighter on the sofa, pulled his right hand out of his pocket, clenched it into a fist, and then relaxed it. The tremor at the tip of his middle finger was still there, but the amplitude was very small.

"Is the first thing you do when you get back to look for her?"

"no."

A moment of silence fell over the gray fog.

"Two more years."

Dragon Chen Chen stood up from the sofa. His scarlet vertical pupils shrank into thin vertical lines in the gray mist, and his azure dragon scales gleamed with a cold metallic texture under the starlight.

"Is the Golden Thunder Bamboo embedded in the sword case?" the enigmatic Chen Chen asked, holding a coffee cup.

"Not yet. Once the Azure Scale Deer awakens and the Golden Thunder Bamboo reaches the right age... after it's inlaid, the three swords drawn will naturally possess the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder Golden Arc, which has a natural restraint on the Ghost Path. There's a Mysterious Bone Master in the Void Heaven Palace who primarily uses Ghost Path techniques. The Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder plus the Spirit-Binding Command... two restraints."

Chen Chen, a mortal, loosened his arms, letting his hands hang naturally at his sides.

"Enough for him to eat a whole pot of food."

Tian Zechen leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the Milky Way spiraling across the starry sky.

"Two years from now, when you enter the Void Heaven Palace, my domain expansion will be almost complete. There's no precedent for a domain of positive energy... I've paved every step myself."

Take care, everyone.

The mortal Chen Chen slightly raised his head.

"Um."

The gray fog converged from the edge of the transparent floor toward the center.

The Milky Way's spiral arms on the starry dome began to fade, and the last ray of starlight on the round table gradually went out.

The gray fog completely closed in.

Chen Chen opened his eyes.

Above us is the dome of the meditation chamber of the sixty-three-story cave dwelling on the sacred mountain.

The spirit-gathering array stopped at some point, and the spirit stones around the futon were drained and turned grayish-white.

The medicinal effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill are still circulating in the meridians.

The pill I took three days ago cleansed my spiritual roots, and the two golden cores in my dantian nearly doubled their efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy.

The rate at which mana accumulates is still increasing.

Both golden pills accelerated simultaneously.

The spiritual energy in the dantian and meridians began to flow back into the two dantians.

When the spirit-gathering array on the sixty-third floor of the sacred mountain was restarted, the concentration of spiritual energy suddenly increased, forming a visible vortex centered on the cave.

A low humming sound came from inside the mountain, and the warning ritual vessel, the cauldron, suddenly rang.

Boom...!

The echoes of the impact lingered long afterward.

The bell tolled throughout Tianxing City, and everyone looked towards the direction of the Holy Mountain!

"It's...it's a sign of Nascent Soul formation!"

"Someone has achieved infant formation!"
