Chapter 7091 Golden Astral Energy

Long Chen couldn’t help gulping when he saw that the Golden Virtue Lotus in the starry sea had produced six leaves. He hadn’t expected it to grow so much in so little time!

When Long Chen looked at it, the six leaves of the Golden Virtue lotus swayed gently, as if they were also looking back at him. In fact, when he looked at the Golden Virtue Lotus, he also saw himself. He saw his inner heart, and his soul.

Long Chen smiled. The Golden Virtue Lotus was the lantern illuminating his path, the light that Aunt Gong had given him. He had fought multiple immense battles, unleashing an absolute massacre among his fellow humans, yet the Golden Virtue Lotus had only grown faster as a result. This signified that his actions were considered correct from the viewpoint of the Grand Dao.

The six-leaf Golden Virtue Lotus would boost Long Chen’s power to an entirely new level. Even he didn’t know what level of power he would reach. However, he would not expose the Golden Virtue Lotus unless he had no other choice.

With just a thought, a golden wave spread through the starry sea, setting it ablaze. Specks of starlight appeared on the leaves. To Long Chen’s surprise, now that the Golden Virtue Lotus had taken root in the starry sea, the merger of the astral energy and the Golden Virtue Lotus’s core energy had produced a new kind of astral essence. This astral essence seemed to be many times stronger than regular astral energy!

“Sadly, there’s only a little bit of it. Furthermore, if I push it too hard, it may damage the Golden Virtue Lotus. That would be detrimental to its growth...”

Long Chen had an urge to immediately test out just how strong this golden astral energy was. This was something that came from the Golden Virtue Lotus, so it could not possibly be ordinary. His intuition told him it would be terrifyingly powerful.

“No rush, no rush! I must wait for it to grow!” Long Chen calmed himself down, suppressing his curiosity.

When he exited his starry sea, he saw Zi Yan and the others pale and sweating. He knew that they were still bitterly holding on. That probably meant they had found a way to restrain the Nether Emperor. However, the Nether Emperor was truly too powerful. Beating him was as difficult as ascending the heavens.

Long Chen didn’t join the fight. Zi Yan was strong, and Long Chen’s intuition told him that even without the Heavenly Devil Zither, her combat power was not much weaker than his own.

Zi Yan could be considered an absolute monster when it came to her talent in the Music Dao. After undergoing a breakdown in the mortal world, she had built herself up again stronger than ever. She had then entered the immortal world and grown up under the tutelage of the Heavenly Devil Zither the entire time.

Now, the two Heavenly Devil Zithers had returned to being one, and Zi Yan possessed a complete legacy. It would be unreasonable if she wasn’t this strong. She had finally encountered a powerful opponent to test herself against, and this was a good opportunity for her, so Long Chen naturally wouldn’t interfere. Instead, he decided to deal with some other things he’d put aside earlier.

A spear appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, heaven and earth boomed. Long Chen jumped in fright and hastily disappeared, reappearing many miles away to avoid affecting Zi Yan and the others.

The item-spirit has been erased by the primal chaos bead. But the moment it reappears in the world it forms a resonance with heaven and earth... It wants to form a new item-spirit so fast?

Long Chen let go of the spear, and it floated in the air in front of him. He could feel the transformations in heaven and earth. Countless streams of energy were gathering within it.

With a thought, Long Chen formed a one-handed seal. Astral energy instantly enveloped the spear, forming a barrier of astral flames.

When a peerless divine item was born, it would cause the spiritual bodies floating within heaven and earth to immediately surge towards it. Based on what Long Chen had learned from Guo Ran, there were countless spiritual bodies floating through the world, as if waiting for a chance for rebirth. They would sense the birth of a divine item and immediately flock towards it to become its item-spirit.

In the case of an average divine item, a single spiritual body would immediately take control of it, and there would be no chance for others. That was due to ordinary divine items possessing limited space for an item-spirit. But stronger ones could attract more spiritual bodies; they could contain a number of them and allow them to fight for control. Those that failed would be forced out, while the ultimate winner would be king.

However, that posed an issue. If too many spiritual bodies entered, it would take a long time for a single winner to appear. During this time, the item would be useless.

Long Chen sensed countless spiritual bodies gathering here. If they were all to enter, who knew how long it would take before a winner was decided? Thus, he decided to vet the candidates himself. Those weaker spiritual bodies were instantly blocked by the barrier; they had no chance to go through.

To Long Chen’s surprise, countless spiritual bodies still attacked the barrier like madmen. For them, this was a heaven-defying opportunity. Even knowing that they had no chance of success, they continued to throw themselves at it. Unfortunately, they were too weak to rattle the barrier. Even the stronger spiritual bodies were like a swarm of bees throwing themselves against a thick window. They were completely unable to even cause a disturbance.

An incense stick’s worth of time later, a spiritual body finally managed to cause the barrier to quiver slightly. Finally, a decent one had appeared. It wasn’t long before a second one showed up, and then a third and fourth...

Long Chen could vaguely sense the form of these more powerful spiritual bodies. They seemed to be various kinds of birds and beasts, but their forms were very indistinct. Based on their energy signatures, Long Chen guessed that these might be the spiritual bodies born from the item-spirits of broken Divine Sovereign law items.

However, this spear was an incredibly powerful Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon. Even these item-spirits were far too weak. If he let them take over, it would be a huge detriment to this Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon. They would cause the spear’s power to drop instantly, and even if it eventually recovered, who knew when that “eventually” would be?

Long Chen couldn’t possibly allow that to happen, so he kept waiting for a whole hour. By this point, hundreds of powerful spiritual bodies had come, but none of them were able to break through his barrier just yet.

“Maybe I should give up on this. The item-spirit of a Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon isn’t that easy to find...”

Just as Long Chen was planning on giving up and maybe trying again later, the spiritual bodies attacking the barrier suddenly froze. Then, they moved away from the spear at a speed that made it seem as if they were fleeing for their lives.

A moment later, Long Chen sensed a sharp aura. A translucent figure appeared before the astral barrier, and this time, it was not something indistinct. It was easily recognizable as a woman’s figure, and to Long Chen’s shock, he could vaguely sense astral energy from this woman.

“What the...”

The woman raised a finger, and Long Chen’s barrier simply shattered. She then merged into the spear. The spear immediately blazed with radiant splendor.

Naturally, Long Chen made no move to stop her. And a moment later, the woman’s delighted voice rang out from within the spear.

“Are you... the Star Master...?”
