Chapter 1098

Chen Yu strode out of the Law Enforcement Hall and returned to the second level of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest.

As soon as he returned, many odd-job workers seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Chen Yu, they knelt down excitedly.

"This time, it's all thanks to Lord for catching the thief, otherwise we would have lost our lives."

"Lord Steward is honest and upright, and his divine bravery is matchless. We admire him greatly."

This time, more than a hundred spiritual herbs were stolen from the Spiritual Medicinal Garden. If not for Chen Yu catching the thief, they, the odd-job workers, would have suffered.

Even if all of their lives were added up, it wouldn't be worth the stolen elixirs.

Moreover, the thief was the newly promoted genius Shi Yao. The other party's cultivation was at the late Star Condensation stage, and he had many magical treasures to help him sneak into the Spiritual Medicinal Garden, but was caught by Chen Yu on the spot.

Chen Yu's character and strength had convinced all the odd-job workers.

"Ahem … this is what this steward should do. Get up."

Chen Yu coughed with a strange expression on his face and said in a serious manner.

If these odd-job workers knew that Shi Yao's theft was fake, and his goal was to deal with Chen Yu, and that more than a hundred spiritual herbs were actually stolen by Chen Yu, his tall and imposing image would collapse instantly.

Therefore, it was better not to hurt their fragile hearts.

When Chen Yu returned to the cave dwelling, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Shi Yao, Zhu Cangyan, this time you really suffered a double loss."

And he himself had gained quite a lot.

More than a hundred spiritual materials, as well as a supplementary treasure [Star Concealing Robe].

These more than a hundred fire-attribute spiritual materials were expensive, and they were all what Chen Yu needed to cultivate the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Wings.

Previously, he couldn't buy spiritual herbs everywhere, and didn't dare to take any profit when he came to the Spiritual Medicinal Garden. This time, he had reaped what he lost, and it was several times more.

And that [Star Concealing Robe] was a high-grade item. Not only did it have outstanding defensive capabilities, it could also perfectly conceal one's aura, and was even more effective in the dark.

Previously, when Shi Yao used the [Star Concealing Robe], Chen Yu did not notice it. It was the soul attack of the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] that affected Shi Yao, causing him to reveal a flaw.

"I'll refine the [Star Concealing Robe] and the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] first."

Chen Yu made a decision.

After refining these two treasures, his ability to protect himself would greatly increase.

However, as soon as the day passed, Chen Yu was summoned by Elder Wu of the Great Hall of Sect Affairs.

"The disciple who was in charge of the spiritual herb garden has returned. You don't need to carry out this task anymore."

Elder Wu's face was slightly gloomy.

Elder Wu was also aware of the plan to transfer Chen Yu to the Spiritual Herb Garden and then set him up. In fact, he was even an accomplice.

However, Shi Yao's plan was completely ruined. He was charged with a serious crime and sent to prison.

Even Elder Wu was almost affected by it.

The position of an elder in the Great Hall of Sect Affairs was extremely powerful and lucrative. Who knew how many people had their eyes on this position, so in order to protect himself last night, he had pushed all the blame onto Shi Yao.

In any case, he already found Chen Yu an eyesore.

"Elder, since this disciple has already accepted this task and is doing quite well, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

Chen Yu smiled.

After this incident, he felt that this task wasn't bad.

On the other hand, if he lost this task, Elder Wu might arrange a new trap for him.

Since that was the case, he was willing to stay in the spiritual herb garden that he was completely familiar with.

Elder Wu was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Yu to be so thick-skinned and refuse to give up this task.

The position of the spiritual herb garden's manager was very lucrative. Under normal circumstances, this position would also help him obtain a lot of benefits.

However, if Chen Yu became the spiritual herb garden's manager, it wouldn't benefit Elder Wu in the slightest.

"Chen Yu, you've done well for the incident that happened in the Spiritual Herb Garden last night. This Elder will give you an additional 85% of the reward for this mission."

"With your talent, being the spiritual herb garden's manager is too much for you. This elder will arrange a good job for you in the future."

Elder Wu naturally wouldn't let Chen Yu get what he wanted.

Chen Yu couldn't win against the elder. In the end, he handed over the manager's token, received his reward, and returned to his cave abode 40.

His return surprised the disciples of the Celestial Sect.

Everyone knew that the task that the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest arranged for Chen Yu was definitely a trap. The incident at the Law Enforcement Hall yesterday had also spread, further confirming this point.

However, they didn't expect that Chen Yu would return safely.

After returning to his original cave abode, Chen Yu continued to refine the Xuan weapon.

Three days later, the [Star Concealing Robe] was successfully refined.

When Chen Yu put on this transparent star-patterned robe and infused it with Star Origin Energy, his figure instantly disappeared in the void, as if he didn't exist.

This was similar to Chen Yu's use of the profound meaning of space to conceal his figure. However, the star-patterned robe's concealing ability was more outstanding.

At the same time, this [Star Concealing Robe] was considered a spatial Xuan weapon. When Chen Yu used the profound meaning of space, his concealing ability became stronger!

"Even if a Four-star King came near me, it would be difficult for him to detect my presence."

Chen Yu speculated in his mind. He had to find an opportunity to test it out.

Next, he tested the defense of the [Star Concealing Robe]. In comparison, this aspect wasn't very outstanding.

But with Chen Yu's current cultivation, after activating the [Star Concealing Robe], he could reduce the damage of the White Tiger Divine Claw by thirty to forty percent, which was already very good.

After all, the [Star Concealing Robe] was an auxiliary Xuan weapon, not a purely defensive one.

After successfully refining this Xuan weapon, next was the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown].

The [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] was still trying its best to resist Chen Yu, but at this point, it was no longer of much use.

Half a month later, the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] was successfully refined.

Buzz!

The golden dragon-patterned crown floated in the void, golden light blossoming. The shadow of a dragon swam and the roar of a dragon could be heard, appearing majestic and sacred.

"What is the use of this Yellow Dragon Clan's treasure?"

Although Chen Yu had refined it, he still couldn't figure it out.

Back then, Huang Zhuohong had used the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] with the help of a special technique to temporarily unleash the power of the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown]. His technique was actually very crude, and he just kept using the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] to smash people.

"Artifact spirit, get out here."

Chen Yu summoned the artifact spirit of the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown].

It was a dragon spirit of the Yellow Dragon Clan. Although it hated Chen Yu, its new master, it could only obey his orders.

"Put the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] on my head?"

Chen Yu felt that the artifact spirit was right. Since it was a crown, it must be worn on his head.

The human brain was extremely important. If he hadn't refined the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown], he would never have dared to try this.

After putting on the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown], he infused it with his Origin Energy.

Buzz!

A power seemed to awaken in the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown], and a supreme dragon power instantly poured into Chen Yu's body.

That power was wild and domineering, and it exceeded Chen Yu's current level. He found it hard to bear, and his whole body ached as if it was about to be torn apart.

His skin turned pale gold, and scales appeared. Then, his eyes and hair gradually changed color, and his body emitted a terrifying dragon might that could suppress all things.

"My strength, physique, defense, and spirit have all been improved to a terrifying level!"

Chen Yu said with difficulty.

With the dragon crown on his head, he seemed to have become the emperor of all dragons!

But this process was also very painful and unbearable, and the Origin Energy in his body was rapidly consumed.

In addition, Chen Yu's soul was also greatly affected. It was as if he had come to another world. There were countless golden dragon shadows flying between the heavens and earth. Just this aura alone made his soul tremble and his mind go blank.

"Looks like … this is the correct way to use the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown]."

After confirming this, Chen Yu immediately took off the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown].

Under the double pressure of his body and soul, that state was too torturous. Even Chen Yu could not endure it for too long.

And this was after he had refined the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown]. This treasure could restrain the power, so it did not injure Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was sure that if he hadn't worn the [Ten Thousand Dragon Crown] on his head before refining it, he would have lost his head.

"Looks like with my current level, I can't use the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] properly. At most, I can smash people like Huang Zhuohong."

Chen Yu laughed at himself. He had worn it for a few breaths, and not only was it difficult to bear, but he had also lost a third of his Origin Energy.

But this was still very powerful. Back when Huang Zhuohong had taken out the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown], he had instantly turned the situation around and smashed people like rats, scurrying in all directions.

Then, Chen Yu continued to force the artifact spirit to squeeze out more information.

"It can also be used to refine and strengthen the soul?"

Chen Yu was skeptical, but he still wore the artifact on his head. Instantly, he looked like a sovereign, his majesty inviolable.

This time, Chen Yu did not pour in his Origin Energy. Instead, he released his Soul Strength.

Roar! Roar!

Dragon roars came from the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown], shaking Chen Yu's mind.

After a while, a few dragon images appeared in his mind, circling back and forth. The dragon roars became even more intense, almost scattering his consciousness.

Chen Yu clenched his teeth and endured, resisting the dragon roars from the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown].

A moment later, he lost consciousness, and his mind was in a daze.

But when he recovered, he found that his Soul Intent had indeed strengthened a bit, and it faintly possessed a powerful and domineering aura.

"This isn't bad."

Chen Yu smiled.

Comparatively speaking, the Soul Intent was his weakness. The stronger his Soul Intent, the faster he comprehended the profoundness.

In addition, advancing to the Mysterious Nether Realm had extremely high requirements for the Soul Intent.

In the following days, Chen Yu would occasionally use the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] to increase his Soul Intent. The majority of his time was spent on cultivating the Vermillion Bird Heaven Burning Wings and the Nine Revolution Vast Star Art.

Chen Yu had a lot of Origin Stones and resources, so there was no problem cultivating the Vermillion Bird Heaven Burning Wings.

But the cultivation environment of cave 40 was the worst out of all the cave dwellings.

This hindered the cultivation of the Nine Revolution Vast Star Art, and his cultivation speed also slowed down.

A month later.

Chen Yu wore the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] on his head. Dragon images revolved around it, and dragon roars came from it.

In the Soul Intent, Chen Yu seemed to have arrived in a world of dragons. He was surrounded by tens of thousands of dragons, and their roars kept coming.

Chen Yu was like a small boat in a tsunami. He could be swallowed at any moment.

"Just a bit more."

Chen Yu gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his body was covered in sweat.

Boom!

At a certain moment, his soul suddenly shook. It seemed to break through some kind of shackle and rise to another level, standing on the same level as the countless dragon images around him.

The countless dragon roars had greatly weakened their influence on him!

"My Soul Intent has reached the peak of the late stage of the Star Condensation Realm!"

Chen Yu took off the [Ten-Thousand Dragon Crown] and let out a long breath.
