Chapter 313

Elder Mo had indeed woken up, but in less than a breath's time, he once again fell into a deep sleep.

"This soul power is too strong. I need to refine it."

Elder Mo sent out a thought while he was in deep sleep.

Zi Chen was completely relieved. There was still some time before the exploration of the ruins. During this time, he would strive to make a breakthrough in his strength.

Last time, he had risked his life to snatch Yu Kong's Spirit Ring. Other than the Spirit Weapons and Ancient Weapons, there was also Yu Kong's accumulated wealth. Zi Chen could be considered rich for once.

In the past, he used Primeval Stones to cultivate. Now, he used Primeval Pills.

This was a product from the Dan Yang Qin Family. Each pill contained rich Primeval Qi and could be directly absorbed. The cost was not cheap. Only the core disciples of the big forces could use Primeval Pills to cultivate.

"For you." Zi Chen threw a porcelain bottle to Ah Tian.

"What?"

Ah Tian opened it. Immediately, a rich Primeval Qi gushed out. Sparkling and translucent pills appeared in the bottle. There were a total of ten pills. He inhaled with his nose and a rich Primeval Qi entered his abdomen. A refreshing feeling spread throughout his body.

"These are Primeval Pills." Ah Tian was shocked. His eyes were wide open.

Ah Tian's combat strength was strong, but he had always been unlucky. He was also very poor. Back then, he had killed many experts from the Geng Family, but he did not have time to plunder their wealth. He was even chased down.

Even before he met Zi Chen, he used Primeval Stones with mixed Primeval Qi to cultivate. It could be said that he was very miserable.

After meeting Zi Chen, his luck changed. Ah Tian was very satisfied with using Primeval Stones to cultivate. He had never dreamed of using Primeval Pills to cultivate. This was a real high-grade item.

"You are very knowledgeable. You even know about Primeval Pills." Zi Chen smiled and looked at Ah Tian with surprise.

Ah Tian smiled awkwardly and said, "I have seen Godfather's foster sons use them. Oh right, what does this mean?"

"We will use it to cultivate in the future and strive to make a breakthrough in our strength," Zi Chen said.

"What? Using it to cultivate all the time? Isn't that a luxury?"

"Only with luxury can there be progress. I still have a lot here, enough for both of us to break through to the next level." After speaking, Zi Chen sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. He adjusted his state of mind and began to refine the Yuan Power Pills.

Ah Tian was a little dumbfounded. Happiness came so quickly that he still didn't dare to adapt. In his opinion, using primordial stones to cultivate was already very fast.

Right at this moment, Ah Tian was stunned to see that Zi Chen actually took out two Essence Force Pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

"This is too extravagant. Could it be that he doesn't care about the loss of Origin Energy?"

Ah Tian clicked his tongue and looked at the Elemental Energy Pill in his hand, reluctant to part with it. He wanted to put it away. He was not used to using this thing to cultivate, it was too extravagant.

"Don't be stingy, refine it as soon as possible. Increasing your strength is the most important. There are many dangers in the ruins, and every bit of strength you can increase your chances of survival. Geng Le and Chu Lie's spatial rings are with me. Once I open them, you will know how rich I am. At that time, I can let you eat these Yuan Power Pills like candy." Zi Chen closed his eyes and said.

Hearing this, Ah Tian no longer hesitated. He poured out one Yuan Power Pill and swallowed it, beginning to refine it.

However, his refining speed was very slow, and could not compare to Zi Chen.

Because of the ruins, more and more experts came to Yongqi City. Among them, there were many people who studied formations. They were numerous and formed a formation army, but their strength was uneven.

A true formation master had yet to appear.

A few powers were waiting. There were already older generation figures who personally went to invite a formation master.

During this time, a few rogue cultivator alliances appeared and formed a very strong power. They took Spirit Weapons and Forbidden Artifacts and charged into the ruins.

Just as Liu Family said, the previously destroyed formations were all restored and changed. As soon as the rogue cultivator alliance charged in, they were trapped by the formations. Before they even reached the ruins, they had already used up several Forbidden Artifacts and many experts were injured or died. Even one of Yu Kong's people died. In the end, they returned in low spirits.

The defeat of the rogue cultivator alliance caused a huge commotion. Those people who were restless also quieted down, not daring to have any other ideas.

Time passed. A few powers still did not give up on searching for Ah Luo and the monk. However, Ah Luo seemed to have disappeared into thin air. No matter how they searched, they could not find any clues.

Moreover, even the extremely eye-catching monk could not be found. That bald head with a shiny forehead seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

The southern region became quiet again. However, everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.

In a small town, in an inn.

One by one, the Yuan Li Dans were refined. Ah Tian's heart was bleeding. These Yuan Li Dans were very expensive, but they were worth it. Ah Tian's strength was increasing rapidly. He believed that it would not be long before he broke through again.

Ah Tian opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Zi Chen. Ah Tian's expression changed. He could roughly refine two Elemental Energy Pills a day. This speed was not considered slow.

However, compared to Zi Chen, it paled in comparison. Zi Chen could refine two bottles a day. This refining speed was more than ten times his. Compared to Zi Chen, Ah Tian felt that he was moving at the speed of a turtle.

Other than refining speed, what made Ah Tian extremely shocked was that Zi Chen's Extreme Energy was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. Ah Tian asked himself. If he had Zi Chen's refining speed, with so many Elemental Energy Pills, he would have no problem breaking through two Heavens and reaching the peak of the True Energy Realm.

However, Zi Chen's strength had not broken through yet. Moreover, he had only reached the Fifth Heavens from the Fourth Heavens.

This huge consumption made one speechless.

In front of him, there was a pile of jade bottles on the ground. Just looking at it would make one's heart tremble. This represented an endless supply of Elemental Energy Stones.

At first, Zi Chen was refining them two by two. However, in the end, he was refining one bottle at a time. A total of ten Elemental Energy Pills.

It was as if he was eating jelly beans. Ah Tian blushed with shame.

"Clang."

Another empty bottle appeared and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Another bottle."

Ah Tian was stunned. He was glad that he was not Zi Chen. Otherwise, without any resources, he would not be able to improve his strength even after a few years.

"I have to work hard too."

Taking a deep breath, Ah Tian closed his eyes and started refining the Elemental Energy Pills. Beside him, there were ten bottles full of Elemental Energy Pills given by Zi Chen.

It was enough for him to squander.

With endless resources, Ah Tian's cultivation became even more diligent.

Time passed day by day. The two of them did not move at all. Other than cultivating, they were still cultivating. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

There was still no movement from the major forces. The formation masters had not been invited yet. Many of the independent cultivators were getting impatient, but there was nothing they could do.

"Weng."

In a room in the inn, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly trembled. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the room was like boiling water, constantly surging. Then, with Ah Tian as the center, a huge suction force appeared, forming a whirlpool.

"I'm going to break through."

Ah Tian was overjoyed. He had been cultivating day and night. After refining several bottles of Elemental Energy Pills, he finally reached the limit of breaking through. At this moment, he was also a rare moment of heroism. He grabbed a porcelain bottle, poured out three Elemental Energy Pills, and swallowed them instantly.

At this moment, a breakthrough in strength required a lot of energy.

"Am I going to break through?"

Zi Chen opened his eyes. He felt that his energy had also reached a limit. In front of him, there were dozens of empty porcelain bottles, close to a hundred of them. The number of Elemental Energy Pills he had refined was already uncountable.

The aura around Ah Tian was getting stronger and stronger. The energy of heaven and earth was surging more violently. This was a sign that he was about to break through.

After a moment, a strong aura burst out, and streams of elemental energy surrounded Ah Tian's body.

Eighth Heaven. Ah Tian had broken through to the Eighth Heaven. One more step and he would be at the Ninth Heaven, the peak of True Yuan.

"Haha."

Feeling the abundant elemental energy in his body, Ah Tian could not help but laugh. A breakthrough in strength was exciting.

"Congratulations." Zi Chen also laughed.

"This is all thanks to your Elemental Energy Pills. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to break through."

Ah Tian turned his head and looked at Zi Chen. "You have refined so many Elemental Energy Pills, dozens of times more than me. Haven't you broken through yet?"

"Soon. I feel that I have reached my limit. I'm going to break through now." Zi Chen nodded. He was excited that his strength was about to break through again.

"Break through now?" Ah Tian was startled. He did not understand.

Zi Chen smiled mysteriously and did not explain. He walked out of the inn and away from the town. He arrived at the mountain range and found a suitable place.

"We have to go to the mountain range to break through." Ah Tian followed behind with a face full of doubt.

However, when the first bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, he came to a realization.

"Heavenly Lightning." Ah Tian's mouth was wide open, his face full of shock.

"Boom."

A bolt of Heavenly Lightning descended with a terrifying aura, directly bombarding Zi Chen's body. The terrifying lightning wreaked havoc, but under Ah Tian's astonished gaze, Zi Chen was unscathed, and he swallowed the lightning energy in one gulp.

"How is this possible?"

Ah Tian's face was full of disbelief. He could not believe that a person in the True Yuan Realm could attract the lightning tribulation, and even resist it.

A surging aura was surging. Just as Ah Tian got a little closer, he was swept up by the lightning energy and was directly pushed back.

Zi Chen's internal organs were churning. It was obvious how terrifying the lightning was. However, Zi Chen was using his body to block it.

"Boom." Bolts of lightning fell. The aura was terrifying, like a lightning dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

"Swoosh."

A dazzling golden light rushed to the sky, instantly destroying a bolt of lightning. Extreme Yang, which had not appeared for a long time, appeared again.

Extreme Yin followed.

It carried a cold and destructive aura. It was like a golden divine lightning, defying the heavens, causing the energy to roar and destroy the lightning in the sky.

In the distance, Ah Tian was already dumbfounded.

Lightning tribulation, this was a terrifying existence. No one was willing to bear it. Who would not tremble when they heard about it? Its appearance meant that the heavens and earth could not tolerate it, and lightning would destroy it.

But looking at Zi Chen, who was only in the True Yuan Realm, he seemed to be very relaxed facing the lightning tribulation.

Bolts of lightning fell, and the power was getting stronger and stronger. Zi Chen blocked them easily, constantly swallowing the lightning energy, and at the same time, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
