Chapter 6349 - Mirror Flower, Water Moon

“Buzz” Xue Tu followed Long Chen's method, placing his finger on Hai Mingkong's chest, and the divine talisman seed appeared once again. To Long Chen's surprise, the original power of this divine talisman seed was not diminished in the slightest. However, sending out this original seed was extremely taxing on the body, and after Xue Tu completed the transfer, he too felt significantly weakened. Meanwhile, Hai Mingkong experienced a similar situation as Xue Tu. The imperial flame began to ignite under the guidance of the talisman, spreading the power of the runes throughout his body. After enduring a painful ordeal, the runes detached from their original form and transformed into another kind of rune. Surprisingly, Hai Mingkong's runes took on the shape of water droplets. Soon, Hai Mingkong opened his eyes and excitedly uttered a name: "Mirror Flower Water Moon." As soon as Hai Mingkong spoke these four words, a ripple spread out around him, as if a drop of water had fallen onto a calm lake, making the entire world appear unreal. “It’s actually an illusion technique, impressive!” Long Chen couldn't help but be shocked. Just a name could cause such illusions; if it were fully unleashed, even he might be instantly drawn into an illusion. While shocked, Long Chen also fell into contemplation. What was going on? He intended to teach the Dragon God Body Refining Technique, yet it had turned into a divine power for them? This phenomenon was too bizarre, beyond explanation, when suddenly the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron resonated: "There's nothing strange about it. Your Dragon God Body Refining Technique is entirely different from the Dragon God Body Refining Technique of the Chaos Dragon Emperor. It personally taught you, yet in your hands, it became a different version. When a technique reaches the highest realm, it becomes like this: the Great Dao is silent, great techniques are boundless, reflecting all laws and phenomena. This result is something you cannot comprehend, and perhaps even the Chaos Dragon Emperor cannot understand it." Hearing the Qiankun Cauldron's explanation, Long Chen fell into deep thought. Could there be something hidden behind the Dragon God Body Refining Technique? After Hai Mingkong awakened the Mirror Flower Water Moon, he attempted to pass the original seed to Qingyi, but Qingyi did not awaken any divine power. Instead, an image of a lush tree appeared within her vision. As for what the tree represented, Qingyi couldn't say, she only knew that when the Azure Dragon coiled around the tree, she felt an inexhaustible power. The specifics would require slow comprehension. The group then began to spread the original seed, but they quickly discovered that only those with more than nine hundred strands of imperial flame could accept it. Those who did not reach this strength, with insufficient imperial flame, could not bear its power or gain its acknowledgment. Ultimately, only twelve people, including Qingyi, received the original seed's acknowledgment, with the last person being Di Mengyao. However, to everyone's disappointment, apart from a petal-shaped pattern appearing at Di Mengyao's brow, no other vision manifested. Moreover, Di Mengyao herself felt no change, and her strength did not increase at all. "Lord Long Chen..." Di Mengyao felt a bit down. Initially, everyone had high expectations for her to make a brilliant display, but she let them down. “Xue Tu’s talent is in his violent combat power, so he gained the Divine Dragon Blood Ignition. Hai Mingkong’s talent is in water manipulation, so he gained the Mirror Flower Water Moon. Qingyi’s talent is in powerful vitality and support abilities, so she gained the vision of the Tree of Life…” Long Chen explained. Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood; this original seed stimulates their strongest talents. "Mengyao, your strongest talent is in cultivation and comprehension. I cannot understand the rune at your brow, but I estimate it should enhance wisdom and perception. Therefore, it won’t bring you apparent changes, but it may only manifest during cultivation." Upon hearing Long Chen's words, Di Mengyao felt much more at ease. Long Chen continued, "You previously failed because the nine hundred ninety-seventh strand of imperial flame was disrupted, but the power of the imperial flame didn’t completely dissipate, and the foundation remains. You can try to see if you can rebuild the imperial flame on the previous foundation." "Now?" Di Mengyao was taken aback. Currently, while flying, they could be attacked by powerful enemies at any time, making it very dangerous to break through now. Moreover, without a quiet environment, her success rate would be greatly reduced. Having already faced setbacks, hastily attempting another breakthrough was a major taboo in cultivation. “It’s okay. If my guess is correct, you should be able to break through before we enter the Heavenly Ridge,” Long Chen smiled. “Of course, if you fail, just pretend I didn’t say anything.” “Alright!” Hearing Long Chen’s words, Di Mengyao gained confidence and found a spot to sit cross-legged, entering a state of tranquility. As Di Mengyao prepared to break through, someone immediately unfurled the Dragon Blood Barrier to protect her from disturbances. "Let us all safeguard for Lord Mengyao together,” Qingyi suggested, trusting Di Mengyao’s cultivation talent and Long Chen’s judgment. “No need, focus on comprehending your new divine powers. Try to master them before reaching the Heavenly Ridge; you don’t want to be caught off guard and make mistakes, which could be deadly,” Long Chen advised. Everyone nodded. Although they had grasped new divine powers, applying them on the battlefield would require a lot of practice. After all, the enemy was not foolish; they would counterattack and look for flaws to interrupt their skills, so they had to fully master them. "Alright, I’ll enter seclusion to comprehend!” Xue Tu eagerly declared. "You don’t need to comprehend, you stay and protect us!” Long Chen said. "Huh?" Xue Tu was taken aback. “Your divine power is the simplest and most direct, without any technique to comprehend. You are responsible for our safety on this journey,” Long Chen explained. With the Divine Dragon Blood Ignition, not even someone like Long Yu could withstand Xue Tu’s strike. With him as a protector, their safety was assured. “Boss, does this mean you’re going into seclusion too?” Xue Tu finally realized. Long Chen nodded. He indeed needed to enter seclusion. With over seven hundred strands of imperial flame, he might attempt to condense the seventh gate—the Gate of Death. The Gate of Death, as its name suggests, was like a gate to death. Previously, when Long Chen attempted it, he couldn’t even open the door. Just the aura seeping through the crack made his soul tremble, sensing the breath of death. The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art had remained at the sixth gate for too long. It was time to push for the seventh gate. If he could successfully open it, his power would reach a whole new level. “Boss, rest assured, you can go into seclusion without worry. I, Xue Tu, guarantee with my head that no one will disturb you,” Xue Tu vowed solemnly, patting his chest. Long Chen nodded, found a spot, and sat down cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes. “Seventh Gate, here I come!”
