The two had just prepared to escape into the forest, which was their only way to survive, but suddenly sensed something was wrong. The golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle struggled out of the soil but did not launch an attack, but stood quietly there.
Long Chen slowly walked over. The terrifying golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle actually ducked down, letting Long Chen climb onto its back.
Ravi and Qili were shocked; they couldn't believe what they saw. Long Chen waved to them, "
Let's get a new mount. You can send that Cloud-Chasing Eagle back."
Seeing Long Chen standing on the back of the giant golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle, Qili and Ravi had just recovered from their shock before slowly approaching.
"You will ... it Managed to subdue them? Qili said in a trembling voice.
"Come on, hurry up," Long Chen said with a smile.
Only then did Qili call out to the Cloud-Chasing Eagle in the distance, but the eagle was afraid of the Golden-scaled Blue-Eyed Eagle and didn't dare come over. Qili had no choice but to run over and let it return on its own.
After mounting the Golden-Scaled, Blue-Eyed Eagle, the eagle let out a soft cry, flapped its wings, and transformed into a streak of light, speeding away at a speed far faster than the Cloud-Chasing Eagle.
Although this Golden-scaled, Blue-Eyed Eagle was powerful, its soul power was weak. After Long Chen turned his head and knocked it out, it immediately planted a slave seal, allowing it to be tamed immediately.
Qili was thrilled, shouting that Long Chen was formidable, her eyes full of admiration. Hearing this made Lavi feel uneasy inside. But now, after witnessing Long Chen's methods, he was like a defeated rooster and remained silent.
"Qili, go ahead and direct the Golden-Scaled, Blue-Eyed Eagle. Don't fly in the wrong direction." Long Chen said.
Qili ran over to the head of the golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle, directing it forward. She looked like a child just getting a new toy, excitedly waving her arms and legs.
On the back of the golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle, only Long Chen and Lavi remained. Long Chen glanced at Lavi, whose face was gloomy, and shook his head, saying, "You really are a coward. Surrendering already?" "
I can't beat you, and my face isn't as fair as yours. I'm ...," Ravi gritted his teeth and stopped halfway.
"Besides, I'm pale-faced. I'll slap you to death with one slap." Long Chen shouted angrily, "
Seeing the woman you love being taken away by someone else means you should fight like a real man—fight if you can, fight if you can't.
Damn it, if anyone dares to steal my wife, I'll fight them to the death. Look at you, you don't even have the courage to fight for it. Are you a coward? Ravi
glared at Long Chen, but soon lost his temper. He wanted to challenge Long Chen to a duel like a real man, but whenever he thought of Long Chen's earlier move and the little courage he'd just mustered, it vanished instantly—the gap was just too great.
"Coward. If I were as timid as you, my wife would have slapped me against the wall long ago—she couldn't even get it off." Long Chen said disdainfully.
"You... You got beaten by your wife too? "Ravi was shocked.
"Fight?" Is that even a matter? Several of my wives are taller than me, their arms thicker than my waist, their fists shattering mountains, their feet cracking the ground. Do you know why? Long Chen asked.
"I don't know," Ravi hurriedly shook his head.
"That's all because you beat me up every day. When they hit me, it's already a reward. If I dare to misunderstand Qili like you did, I'm telling you, you'll regret coming into this world. You'll understand what hell on earth really is, what it means to be worse than death." Long Chen sighed.
"Your wife is so terrifying, why don't you leave them?" Ravi said in surprise. Clearly, this guy really wasn't very sharp—he believed whatever others said.
"Leave?" How could that be? I still have time to cultivate. The reason I've been here today is all thanks to them.
When he had nothing better to do, he would beat me up to toughen my flesh and blood; if he was in a bad mood, he would break my bones to train my muscles and bones. There were also things like 'heart-to-heart and liver extraction,' 'soul piercing,' 'deep-fried and roasted'—sounds scary, but in reality, it was all for my own good. A look of gratitude appeared on Long Chen's face, making Lavi's expression change as he listened—he was clearly frightened.
"Compared to your wife, Qili is just too gentle." Ravi said sincerely. In his eyes, Long Chen's wives were fierce and vicious, like people who wouldn't spit out bones even if they ate people.
"Actually, Qili really is a good girl..." Long Chen looked at Qili's back, deliberately putting on an expression of great admiration. Ravi's heart leapt into his throat.
"Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of fate. So, kid, you have a foolish fortune. You have such a wonderful wife, you should cherish it.
Her heart hasn't changed, but your suspicion of her is a desecration of sincere feelings. Go ahead, apologize. Long Chen said. Although he had the urge to slap Ravi to death before, he thought about it—why stoop to the level of a foolish kid?
Hearing Long Chen say this, Ravi was instantly filled with gratitude. So Long Chen hadn't intended to steal Qili.
But Ravi quickly got troubled; this wasn't his area of expertise: "This... How can I make amends for her to forgive me... "
Castrate herself with a knife, cut me to rule forever." Long Chen said very seriously.
"Ah... Ravi
jumped up in fright, but at that moment, the golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle was flying at high speed. With that jump, he nearly flew out and was caught by Long Chen.
Long Chen almost burst out laughing. This guy really doesn't know how to bend the bend—he believes whatever he says.
"When a woman is angry, she hits and scolds you, but that's not really angry. If she really is angry, she wouldn't even bother to hit or scold you.
So, if you apologize at this time, she definitely won't forgive you immediately, but if you don't apologize, she will never forgive you again.
Be prepared for a prolonged battle. Time is the best weapon. As long as you don't fight back or insult, over time, her anger subsides, and everything is fine. Long Chen said with a smile.
Whether Ravi understood Long Chen's words was unclear, but this guy carefully approached Qili ahead. Qili had been very excited to command the Golden-Scaled Blue-Eyed Eagle, but as soon as Ravi arrived, her expression instantly turned cold. She turned to look at Long Chen and saw him forming hand seals, eyes closed, meditating.
Although she didn't know the cultivation methods of the Tianwu Continent, she knew that Long Chen didn't want anyone to disturb him at this moment, so he could only sit there obediently and listen to Ravi's clumsy apology.
Long Chen formed hand seals and began to mobilize the life force within his body. Under the pressure of the power of death, he had to keep the life force active.
Because the power of death is even more vast and majestic than the power of life. Now, ninety percent of the power of death suppresses ten percent of the power of life. The force of life is under immense pressure, its vitality gradually fades, and a phenomenon of solidification occurs.
If the Life Force begins to solidify, it becomes even harder to activate it, let alone help it gradually adapt to the pressure and start fighting back.
The four Supreme Elders of the Tianwu Alliance had stayed at this realm for too long, lacking vitality, which caused them to become completely solidified and lose the chance to advance to the fourth step of Tongming.
Only when the force of life remains sufficiently active and fully adapts to the pressure of the power of death can it begin to return to its disadvantage.
During this process, pills cannot be used as aids, because they can fully enhance the power of life, but during the enhancement, certain vitality is destroyed.
This poses a great danger, with a breakdown of activity and deathThe consequences would be unimaginable.
Even if he barely reached the balance of life and death with the help of the pill and entered the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, the lack of vitality in life force would cause flaws in the cycle of life and death power—not only in combat power, but also because of damage to his Dao foundation, he would never make any further progress in his lifetime.
This is also why, when Qu Jianying distributed the pills, he told everyone to think carefully before collecting them—because for cultivators, reaching the end of the path of cultivation is the most painful experience.
The death force within Long Chen began to squeeze his life force relentlessly. He had to constantly adjust his life force to keep it in a constant operating state, while slowly absorbing external life force to inject new energy into his body to resist the erosion of death power.
As he entered a cultivation state, a smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. As he absorbed the life force from the outside world, the hundred-eight thousand stars within him trembled, channeling his own life force into Long Chen.
One inside, one outer, two completely different life forces surged into Long Chen's body, preventing his life force from being devoured. Long Chen gained an extra layer of protection compared to others, which made him feel much more at ease.
In this forest, life force was abundant, just right for Long Chen to enhance his life force.
For others, the power of life and death requires time to settle and adapt, but for Long Chen, they don't.
Because within the chaotic space, there is inherently the power of life and death. Ever since Long Chen obtained the Chaos Pearl, he had become familiar with the power of life and death, so he didn't need to comprehend it.
After Long Chen entered the third step of the Tongming Realm, he immediately began activating the power of life. He was about to enter the initial state of the fourth step.
The initial state of the fourth step of the Tongming Realm is returning to the starting point and once again achieving the balance of life and death. This is a long process, as external forces cannot assist it, so one must rely on oneself to absorb and improve bit by bit.
Qili, with a cold face, directed the golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle to gallop forward. Ravi didn't know what to say, sitting beside her with a miserable face. After being scolded a few times, she didn't dare utter a word and could only remain silent on the side.
The golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle transformed into a streak of light, swiftly weaving through the endless forest. It was a formidable flying beast. Although it encountered other beasts along the way, there was no need to dodge. Those beasts, sensing the eagle's aura, were terrified and fled for their lives.
Qili had never ridden such a fierce mount before. She had originally wanted to deliberately put on a stern face, but seeing those fleeing beasts, she quickly regained her excitement.
The ancient tree ahead grew taller and stronger, its life force growing stronger. Soon, a giant tree appeared ahead. The tree was so large that it could be seen from tens of thousands of miles away. It soared straight into the sky, with stars twinkling around the canopy.
"Long Chen, we've arrived. This is our Life Spirit God."
Qili jumped down from the golden-scaled, blue-eyed eagle and knelt atop a large tree, bowing from afar, chanting ancient scriptures.
