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

Chapter 85: Tokens of Love?

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ye Fan quickly stopped.

He had finally broken through to the Life Spring Realm and refined the remaining spiritual power of the Sacred Fruit in his body, which was how he returned to his current appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old. He didn't want to go back to being that little brat.

Moreover, if this golden holy fruit has a similar effect to the previous red holy fruit, wouldn't he turn back into a ten-year-old after eating these four?

Ye Fan found that unacceptable.

"The Daoist scriptures record a method of suppressing oneself using a 'vessel.' You can use this method to suppress yourself, and then the medicinal power of the sacred fruit will not diminish."

Lu Chen spoke up to remind him.

Ye Fan reviewed the contents of the Daoist scriptures and found that there was indeed such a method.

"So, Brother Chen, what do we do next? Should we go out or continue to the next mountain?"

Ye Fan put away the golden sacred fruit and spoke with eager anticipation in his eyes.

Having tasted the sweetness of this sacred fruit, Ye Fan's courage had grown considerably.

"We've finally made it in, so we can't just leave like this."

Lu Chen smiled and spoke.

Lu Chen did not rush to leave. Instead, he took out a jade bottle and collected a bottle of divine spring water.

This jade bottle is a special storage treasure made by the Yaochi Holy Land. It has a huge interior space and can easily hold all the divine spring water here.

However, after entering this desolate and forbidden land, not only were the cultivators' divine powers sealed, but even the restrictions in the jade bottle lost their effect, and it was filled with only a dozen kilograms.

However, Lu Chen was not greedy.

If Lu Chen were to take all of this divine spring water, he was afraid he would anger Da Nannan.

Ye Fan didn't watch as Lu Chen filled the spring water, but since he didn't have a suitable container, he ended up filling only a few small bottles. After that, Lu Chen and the others prepared to go down the mountain.

However, just as they turned around, they discovered that a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor had appeared not far behind them.

This woman had bright eyes and white teeth, and her appearance was like a lotus emerging from the water. She was exceptionally beautiful, like a fairy from the moon.

The only flaw was that the woman's eyes were devoid of any emotion, making her seem like a puppet.

"this----"

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the woman, Ye Fan swallowed hard and stiffly turned to look at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was also startled by the sudden appearance of the woman, and immediately picked up the little girl in front of him.

Everything had gone smoothly the way up, and Lu Chen hadn't expected things to go wrong at this point.

Upon seeing this woman, Lu Chen basically guessed her identity; she was most likely the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan.

Upon seeing the little girl in Lu Chen's arms, a flicker of emotion flashed in Tianxuan Saintess's usually stagnant eyes, but she then turned her gaze to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, who had been keeping a close eye on the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, noticed a sudden flash of sadness in her lifeless eyes. Then, he saw the Holy Maiden Tianxuan raise her hand and throw something at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took it and saw that it was a handkerchief embroidered with colorful clouds.

Lu Chen looked up at Tianxuan Saintess again, only to find that she had already disappeared.

Seeing the Heavenly Maiden leave, Ye Fan stood up in surprise again, leaned closer to Lu Chen, looked at the handkerchief in Lu Chen's hand, and asked with a teasing curiosity, "Brother Chen, why did she give you a handkerchief?"

"Could this be a token of our love for you?"

"If you're not afraid she'll hear and come back to you, then say a few more words."

Lu Chen glared at Ye Fan with annoyance and put the handkerchief away.

"Forehead!"

Ye Fan's smile froze, and he quickly cupped his hands towards the abyss, saying, "Please forgive me, senior!"

Lu Chen didn't linger and headed down the mountain.

Ye Fan quickly followed.

"So what's the purpose of this handkerchief?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ye Fan asked again.

"Actually, you're right, this handkerchief really could be a token of love—"

"what?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment.

"But it's not for me."

Lu Chen spoke slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, that woman just now should be the Holy Maiden of the Tianxuan Holy Land six thousand years ago."

"This Tianxuan Holy Land is the sect that your sister-in-law mentioned before, the one that launched a full-scale attack on the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

"This Heavenly Pivot Saintess must have become a slave around that time."

"The footwork I just taught you is called 'Tianxuan Footwork,' the signature skill of this Tianxuan Holy Land. I learned it from an elder a few days ago."

"This Heavenly Pivot Saintess must have been lured out by our 'Heavenly Pivot Steps'."

Lu Chen didn't mention one more thing: he felt that the Heavenly Maiden might have sensed the aura of the old madman he carried, otherwise she wouldn't have given him the handkerchief.

So, I'm saying—

"Is this handkerchief that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan wanted you to give to the senior who taught you the cultivation technique?"

Ye Fan finally understood and asked in surprise, "So, that senior is also a disciple of the Tianxuan Holy Land, and has lived for six thousand years?"

"That's right, this senior is a survivor from the Tianxuan Holy Land back then."

Lu Chen nodded.

"that----"

Suddenly remembering something, Ye Fan asked again, "Brother Chen, what was the purpose of the Tianxuan Holy Land's invasion of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land back then? Could it have been for these sacred fruits and divine springs?"

"Wouldn't that mean—"

At this point, Ye Fan glanced at the little girl in Lu Chen's arms and didn't continue.

You're overthinking it.

Lu Chen naturally understood Ye Fan's meaning and said with a faint smile, "If that person were to make a move, there wouldn't be a single survivor in the Tianxuan Holy Land."

"Forehead!"

"Is it that scary?"

Ye Fan stared in astonishment, then leaned closer to Lu Chen and whispered, "Brother Chen, you still haven't told me what kind of strength this guy in there has?"

"Naturally, it's the Great Emperor."

Lu Chen said calmly.

"He really was a great emperor!"

Ye Fan is no longer the novice cultivator he once was, and naturally has a different perspective on many things.

Especially after learning that the sacred fruits they ate were actually the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality, Ye Fan had a rough idea of ​​this person's strength.

Now it can be considered that we have received confirmation from Lu Chen.

"Turtle!"

"That thigh is really thick!"

Ye Fan felt a surge of excitement.

"So, like I said, with this person backing you up, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Chen smiled and glanced at Ye Fan before speaking.

"this----"

"Isn't it mainly because of uncertainty? What if we find out we made a mistake later? That would be so embarrassing."

Ye Fan scratched his head and said.

"By the way, you still haven't told me which emperor this is?"

"Don't give me the wrong name when you need it in the future."

Ye Fan asked again.

"Actually, I've already mentioned this once before."

Lu Chen spoke calmly.

"You mentioned it?"

"What?! Wait! The Ruthless Great Emperor?"

Ye Fan was puzzled for a moment, then widened his eyes and said.

"I'm not telling the truth, it was originally this ruthless person!"

After the initial shock, Ye Fan, looking fearful, said, "If it's this big shot, then I'd be even less likely to make any assumptions."

"Given the relationship between this big shot and her brother, what if they find out I'm an imposter? What good will that do me?"

Seeing Ye Fan like this, Lu Chen didn't know what to say.

After descending this mountain, Lu Chen and Ye Fan immediately set off for the next mountain.

The subsequent operation went very smoothly, and Lu Chen and his group picked the sacred fruits from the other seven sacred mountains without encountering any obstacles.

Of course, they didn't pick them all; they left one or two just in case.

After all, Ye Fan still has the Four Extremes Broken Path to overcome, and at that time, Ye Fan's Dao injuries will need to be repaired by these sacred fruits.

Although using the roots and stems of those sacred trees would have the same effect, digging up the roots is still a bit of a bad idea.

Anyway, those extra one or two fruits won't make much difference to Lu Chen and the others.

Besides picking fruit, Lu Chen also collected some of the sacred spring water from the holy mountain, aiming to ensure that the water was distributed evenly and not to deplete the resources.

However, after picking the sacred fruit from the last sacred mountain, Lu Chen and his group originally intended to leave. But at that moment, they suddenly noticed that on the mountain next to them, the one where they landed after their interstellar journey, there was a huge bronze coffin lying across it.

Lu Chen and Ye Fan were very familiar with this thing.

Isn't this the "Kowloon" bus that brought them here back then?

Didn't they already fall into the abyss? How did they end up back on the mountaintop?

Lu Chen wasn't quite sure about this either.

But in any case, it wasn't the eldest daughter who did it; it was that Great Accomplished Holy Body who caused it.

"Brother Chen, should we go take a look?"

Ye Fan, somewhat tempted, spoke up.

This bronze coffin held a special place in Ye Fan's heart.

Since they relied on this to get here, will they still need it to get back?

"It would be good to go and take a look."

Lu Chen thought about it for a moment and did not refuse.

Anyway, there's no danger.

They immediately sped up and ran towards the location of the bronze coffin.

Soon, Lu Chen and his group reached the summit and arrived in front of the bronze coffin.

Seeing it again, the ancient bronze coffin still greatly shocked Lu Chen and his companions.

The nine dragon corpses hung diagonally on the edge of the cliff, the coffins still overturned.

Lu Chen and Ye Fan exchanged a glance and stepped back into the coffin.

However, this time the ancient coffin showed no signs of taking off, but soon Lu Chen and his group discovered another surprising thing.

That is, after they entered the ancient coffin, the divine power seal within their bodies actually disappeared.

Only then did Lu Chen remember that it seemed to have been mentioned in the original work that Ye Fan went into this bronze coffin to refine the sacred fruit after picking it.

Thinking about this, Lu Chen couldn't wait any longer.

In fact, Lu Chen's cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the Dao Palace Secret Realm. The reason he had been suppressing his breakthrough was twofold: firstly, to consolidate his foundation by integrating the essence of the "Western Emperor Scripture" and the "Dao Scripture," and secondly, to wait for these sacred fruits.

The nine sacred fruits on these nine sacred mountains are derived from the Nine Wonders of Immortality. Although the effect of consuming all nine together is not as good as that of the complete Immortality Divine Medicine Fruit, it still has the effect of transforming the body and soul, and can trigger a qualitative leap in the overall physical body, soul, and divine power.

Lu Chen wanted to use this transformative power to establish the strongest foundation in the Four Extremes in one fell swoop.

Now everything is ready, and there is no need to worry about the cultivation resources needed for the breakthrough, as the resources temporarily stored in the red envelope far exceed the required amount.

Without further ado, after giving a few instructions to Ye Fan and Xiao Nannan, Lu Chen sat cross-legged inside the ancient coffin.

After accepting the red envelope and filling his storage bag, he placed the remaining cultivation resources beside him.

Then Lu Chen took out one of each of the sacred fruits he had just picked and swallowed them all, causing eight different colored energies to erupt instantly.

Just then, the energy of the red sacred fruit that was already present in Lu Chen's body and had not yet been fully digested was also activated.

These nine different energies produced a wondrous reaction at this moment, perfectly merging together to form an incomparably profound energy.

Lu Chen immediately activated the Daoist Scripture and the Western Emperor Scripture, guiding the energy to flow throughout his body.

Stimulated by this energy, Lu Chen's body began to undergo a tremendous transformation.

At the same time, the five divine treasures within Lu Chen's body trembled and roared, and the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao resounded once again within the Dao Palace.

Within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Chaos Azure Lotus stood proudly, its form swaying slightly. The once calm sea instantly surged with turbulent waves.

Huge waves.

Around Lu Chen's body, Dao diagrams inscribed with the laws of the Great Dao appeared, surrounding him. Golden lotuses emerged from the ground, surrounded by chaotic energy, gradually forming a huge chaotic energy ball above Lu Chen's head.

Ye Fan, who was standing guard beside him, was also quite surprised by the strange phenomenon caused by Lu Chen's breakthrough.

He thought his breakthrough was already quite remarkable, but compared to Lu Chen, it was nothing.

As Lu Chen began his breakthrough, the cultivation resources around him were also being consumed in large quantities.

The energy and radiance formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivation resources surged wildly within Lu Chen's body, first flowing into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, then being guided into the Dao Palace, and finally flowing to his limbs and bones.

The energy of the sacred fruit, combined with the radiant energy of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, caused Lu Chen's body to undergo transformation after transformation. With each transformation, Lu Chen's physical body and soul would become much stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen's flesh, bones, and internal organs all began to glow, as clear and flawless as seven-colored glass.

Within Lu Chen's Sea of ​​Bitterness, more dark purple energy appeared in the originally chaotic seawater, undulating and drifting within the chaotic water.

At this time, Lu Chen's breakthrough had not yet truly begun.
