Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

As the black light spread, all of Lu Chen's life force was instantly extinguished, and he looked like a dried-up corpse.

Just as the last vestige of life in Lu Chen's body was about to disappear, the Chaos Green Lotus in the Sea of ​​Bitterness trembled slightly once more. The black lotus seeds instantly went silent, while the green lotus seeds shone with dazzling light.

A blue light, brimming with boundless vitality and creation, shone upon Lu Chen's entire body. His physical form was like the parched earth, greedily absorbing this heavenly rain.

The physical body, which was on the verge of decay, is visibly revitalized.

And so, black and blue light circulated and bloomed repeatedly within Lu Chen's body, and Lu Chen's physical body underwent a series of transformations, experiencing nine lives and nine deaths in a short period of time.

At that very moment, above the other shore reached by the divine veins in Lu Chen's Sea of ​​Bitterness, a massive Dao Palace appeared amidst the drifting clouds and mist.

Those nine consecutive life-and-death transformations were the necessary path to the Other Shore Realm.

Originally, one needed to gain a preliminary understanding of the Great Dao of Life and Death and accumulate a massive amount of resources before undergoing nine transformations to reach the other shore of perfection and gain insight into the Dao Palace's secret realm. However, with the help of the green and black lotus seeds, Lu Chen effortlessly crossed the other shore and entered the Dao Palace's secret realm.

The Dao Palace in the Dao Palace Secret Realm corresponds to the five internal organs of the human body. It requires the gathering of a massive amount of Qi of the five elements to nurture five deities within the five internal organs.

This process requires a large accumulation of cultivation resources.

Lu Chen's cultivation resources had already been exhausted during his previous breakthrough, so he could no longer continue his cultivation in the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

However, although Lu Chen's physical transformation had stopped, the strange changes in the Sea of ​​Bitterness had not stopped.

Within Lu Chen's Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Chaotic Green Lotus swayed without wind, and the Chaotic Ocean below instantly surged with towering waves. As the waves rolled, wisps of mysterious purple energy emerged from the seawater, converging above the Sea of ​​Bitterness to form various mysterious innate patterns that intertwined and ultimately created an innate Dao diagram with flowing Daoist energy.

On this Dao diagram, runes representing various Dao principles, such as Yin and Yang, the Three Powers and Seven Stars, the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, the Five Elements and Nine Luminaries, surge and flow. Near the very center of the Dao diagram, five points of light, corresponding to the colors of five lotus seeds—black, white, gold, cyan, and red—flicker and fade on the Dao diagram.

Lu Chen immersed himself in the light and discovered that the five points of light corresponded to the five nascent forms of the supreme Great Dao Laws: the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Destruction, the Great Dao of Purification, the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and the Great Dao of Merit and Fortune.

Including the Chaotic Green Lotus at the beginning of the opening of the Bitter Sea, this Innate Dao Diagram can be considered the second extraordinary phenomenon condensed by Lu Chen.

Both the Chaos Green Lotus and the Innate Dao Diagram exhibited similar phenomena in the original work, but the two phenomena within Lu Chen's body differed considerably from those described in the original work.

Especially that Chaos Green Lotus, Lu Chen had never heard of such a phenomenon being able to be refined into a natal magic weapon.

After observing the changes in himself, Lu Chen ended his seclusion.

At this moment, Lu Chen truly experienced the meaning of the line from his previous life's novel: "Cultivation knows no time; a thousand years pass in the blink of an eye."

During this month of seclusion, Lu Chen was completely unaware of the passage of time. He only felt that a month had passed when he woke up.

As soon as Lu Chen pushed open the door, two figures, one tall and one short, rushed into his arms.

"Big brother, you're finally out! I missed you so much!"

The little girl hugged Lu Chen's leg tightly and spoke.

However, Lu Chen's attention was not on the little girl at all. Feeling the soft and delicate body in his arms, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

During the days leading up to their seclusion, Lu Chen and Weiwei's relationship did indeed grow stronger, gradually surpassing the distance between fellow disciples.

Lu Chen could also sense the faint feelings Weiwei had for him, but he wasn't in a hurry to break the ice.

For the past twenty years, Lu Chen's mind was either on making money or waiting to cultivate, and he had no interest in dating. Therefore, Lu Chen quite enjoyed the ambiguous feeling between the two of them.

During their time together, Lu Chen would at most hold hands, but there were no other inappropriate actions.

Unexpectedly, I received such a surprise as soon as I cleared customs.

"Senior sister..."

Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, his mouth was sealed by a soft, moist touch.

If Lu Chen didn't react in this situation, he really wouldn't be a man. He immediately wrapped his arm around Weiwei's slender waist and took the initiative.

Although Weiwei acted enthusiastically and boldly, she was ultimately inexperienced and Lu Chen quickly took the initiative.

After a long, tender kiss, Weiwei's face was flushed, and her gaze towards Lu Chen was filled with tenderness.

"Junior brother, the sect leader once said that the most important thing in cultivation is to achieve clarity of thought and see one's true nature."

"After these past few days of repeated confirmation, I have finally understood my own heart. The road ahead is long, and I am willing to walk it hand in hand with you!"

Faced with Weiwei's sincere expression of her feelings, Lu Chen immediately lowered his head and kissed Weiwei's cherry lips again, responding with his actions.

Just as the two were deeply in love and about to take the next step naturally, a clear, sweet voice rang in their ears:

"Big brother, sister Weiwei, what are you doing?"

Hearing the little girl's voice, Lu Chen remembered that there was a little one watching over him.

When Weiwei came to her senses, she quickly pushed Lu Chen away, her pretty face instantly turning as red as if it were about to bleed.

After hurriedly straightening her slightly disheveled clothes, Weiwei gave Lu Chen a reproachful look before running back to her room and closing the door tightly behind her.

Seeing Weiwei flee in panic, Lu Chen, whose spellcasting had been abruptly interrupted, picked up the little girl and gave her cheeks a playful rub.

Holding his little girl in his arms, Lu Chen went into the yard and began to check the group messages from the past few days.

After quickly browsing through the messages, I found that there was nothing important; most of it was just Xu Qi'an and Xiao Yan chatting and joking with each other.

Lu Chen: "Shurima, your emperor has returned!"

Huang Rong: "Oh, Brother Lu Chen, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

Xiao Yan: "Welcome back, Your Majesty! Line up.jpg"

Xu Qi'an: "Welcome back, Your Majesty! Stand at attention.jpg"

Lu Chen's message instantly brought all three of them out of the woodwork.

Lu Chen: "I have not attended court for many days. Do any of my ministers have anything to report?"
