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

Lu Chen: "Oh, I forgot to tell you before, the location of your Earth Book fragment has been blocked by that Golden Lotus Daoist, so unless you take the initiative to initiate a chat, the owners of other Earth Book fragments cannot communicate with you."

Xu Qi'an: "The location to be blocked?"

Xu Qi'an: "This thing even has a location tracking function. It's really starting to resemble a cell phone more and more."

Xu Qi'an: "Brother Lu, how do I initiate a conversation?"

Lu Chen: "You just need to enter the internal space of the Earth Book fragment with your consciousness."

Xu Qi'an: "OK, I'll give it a try."

Xiao Yan: "Xu Baipiao, you're such an idiot! You've had this for so long, and you still don't even know how to chat?"

Xu Qi'an: "I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't had time to research it. Don't bother me, I need to contact my other group members."

Xiao Yan: "Brother Lu, since Xu Qi'an already has a second chat group, I suggest we kick him out of our group. *winks*"

Lu Chen: "Hmm, that's a good suggestion, I can consider it. (Serious face.jpg)"

Xu Qi'an: "Xiao Huohuo, your dad's in good health! I was only gone for a little while, and you're already plotting against me behind my back, huh? Take this 40-meter-long sword!"

Xiao Yan: "I'm outta here.jpg"

Xu Qi'an: "Brother Lu, I just tried to communicate with him using my consciousness, and someone inside actually responded to me. An old man in position number nine told me that the Golden Lotus Daoist gave me this thing to trick me, and that he said he was the Golden Lotus Daoist's junior brother, and that the Heaven and Earth Society was chasing after the Golden Lotus Daoist, and so on and so forth."

Xu Qi'an: "But I knew immediately that Number Nine was no good. His purpose in saying that was clearly to take the fragment of the Earth Book from me!"

Xu Qi'an: "Brother Lu, who is this old man number nine?"

Lu Chen: "He is indeed the junior brother of that Golden Lotus Daoist, named Zi Lian. However, he got one thing wrong. He is the one who was chasing after the Golden Lotus Daoist."

Xu Qi'an: "Isn't that Golden Lotus Daoist the leader of the Earth Sect? How come he's being chased by his own junior brother?"

Lu Chen: "The Golden Lotus Daoist you saw that day was actually just a remnant of his soul. This Golden Lotus Daoist went astray in his cultivation, causing him to fall into the demonic path and split off a Black Lotus personality. Along with him, most of the elders and disciples of the Earth Sect also fell into the demonic path. The Golden Lotus Daoist you saw was a remnant of his soul that was not corrupted by demonic energy and escaped from the Earth Sect."

Xu Qi'an: "I understand. This Purple Lotus must have fallen into demonic ways too, right?"

Xu Qi'an: "What should I do now? This fragment of the Earth Book feels a bit too hot to handle. This old Taoist Purple Lotus could find me at any moment!"

Lu Chen: "You're part of an organization now. If you encounter danger, you'll naturally seek help from the organization's higher-ups. Do I need to teach you that?"

Xu Qi'an: "That's right! I'm a night watchman now, what am I afraid of, a mere rogue Taoist priest from the Earth Sect?"

Xu Qi'an: "I'm going to find my boss right now!"

Lu Chen: "Just a friendly reminder, Wei Yuan, the leader of the night watchmen, is a suitable backer. If you flatter him, you'll reap many benefits in the future."

Xu Qi'an: "OK, I'm definitely sticking with Wei Yuan!"

Lu Chen: "Bye, I'm logging off."

Xu Qi'an: "Respectfully seeing off Brother Lu!"

Xiao Yan: "Respectfully seeing off Brother Lu!"

Huang Rong: "Brother Lu Chen, I...I'll miss you! (shy emoji)"

……

After entrusting the little girl to Weiwei's care, Lu Chen began his secluded cultivation in his room.

After all, one must be strong to succeed. However, no matter what happens next, it's always good to work hard to improve one's own strength.

Moreover, having just obtained a sum of cultivation resources from the sect leader of Lingxu, he naturally intends to convert them into cultivation power.

And so, time passed day by day.

In the chat group, Xu Qi'an, Xiao Yan, and Huang Rong would occasionally share some of their daily lives, as well as their cultivation progress.

After Lu Chen went into seclusion, Xiao Yan and the others did not slack off. With the support of Lu Chen and the Hundred Herbs Elixir, following Huang Rong, Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an also sensed the location of the Wheel of Life and successfully opened the Sea of ​​Bitterness, which can be considered as completing the first step of the Covering Heaven Technique.

Time flies, and almost a month has passed in a short time.

In the courtyard outside Lu Chen's room, two figures, one tall and one short, were slowly swinging on a swing, their eyes occasionally glancing towards Lu Chen's door.

"Sister Weiwei, when will big brother come out? I miss him."

The little girl spoke in a low, childish voice.

"It'll be soon, I should be out of quarantine in the next few days."

Weiwei spoke softly, her hand unconsciously stroking the little girl's pigtails.

Lu Chen usually liked to touch the little girl's pigtails, and over time Weiwei also caught the habit.

At this moment, in Lu Chen's room.

Lu Chen, who was cultivating, had already entered a state of complete absorption in the world, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into his body recklessly.

Within Lu Chen's Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Life Spring surged forth, and an endless stream of divine power flowed out, making the area of ​​the Sea of ​​Bitterness much larger than before.

Above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, a magnificent rainbow bridge spans across it, its radiant light reaching the other shore—proof of the complete divine veins and the perfect divine bridge.

But that's not the most amazing part.

The Chaos Lotus rooted in the center of the Bitter Sea had its five largest lotus leaves moving without wind. As they swayed, a massive amount of chaotic seawater was transformed into five energies—black, white, gold, blue, and red—which were then poured onto the five lotus seeds at the heart of the lotus.

These five lotus seeds were also shining brightly in a cycle, and the five-colored light seemed to contain infinite vitality and creation. With each glimmer of light, Lu Chen's physical body would also change.

Under the alternating forging of these five-colored lights, all the impurities in Lu Chen's body were burned away, and his flesh, bones, and internal organs were all strengthened.

Old blood slowly seeps out from the pores, while new blood flows continuously from deep within the bone marrow.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly. The newly produced blood glows with a pale golden light, like mercury. The bones are as white as jade and as hard as divine weapons. The internal organs are also forged until they are spotless and pure, like exquisite works of art.

The changes within his body caused Lu Chen's entire body to shimmer with multicolored light, accompanied by the sound of Daoist chants, the scattering of golden flowers, and the swirling and dancing of profound Daoist runes around him.

Just then, the black lotus seed at the heart of Lu Chen's Bitter Sea Green Lotus suddenly shone brightly, and the pitch-black light instantly spread to Lu Chen's entire body.
