Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction, realizing that his efforts had not been in vain. The money spent on Chen Qilin was already showing results.
After a while, Yuanmo Laozu slowly woke up, and from his appearance, he seemed to be in good condition.
This is how a Soul Cultivator is; when injured, they appear as if they are on the brink of death, but once they recover, they can immediately become full of vitality. This is a characteristic of Soul Cultivators.
On the other hand, for practitioners of Qigong Martial Arts, once injured, the recovery of their Flesh functions will be a long process. If the injury affects the internal organs and vital parts, without proper treatment, the result could be catastrophic—complete destruction of their cultivation and turning to dust. This fate is far more tragic than the annihilation of Yin Spirit; at least with Yin Spirit's destruction, one does not fall into the mortal realm.
“Yuanmo Laozu, it seems you have recovered well. With your involvement, my chances of competing for control over Central Plains have increased significantly. Given your condition, I believe our cooperation will be very smooth and hopefully enjoyable,” Lu Chen said with a grin.
After a long pause, Yuanmo Laozu sighed, his tone revealing some reluctance. Seeing this scene surprised both Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan; Yuanmo Laozu's expression indicated that he surely had more on his mind.
As for what that might be, it remains unknown and can only be revealed by Yuanmo Laozu himself. However, Lu Chen was certain that it would not be a withdrawal from their cooperation because someone of Yuanmo Laozu's caliber would never easily go back on his word. Moreover, if he were to back out now, it would hinder his Dao Heart cultivation.
Yuanmo Laozu shook his head and softly said, “The injuries I sustained have not fully healed; my current strength is only about sixty percent of my peak. I am barely halfway through recovery. If I had fully recovered, I wouldn’t have been injured by the Rending God Blade. That blade belongs to an ancestor of the Hoofed Tribe and its power exceeded my imagination. What surprised me even more was that the Minotaur obtained the inheritance of the World Gate.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes shifted. It seemed true that Yuanmo Laozu's injuries had not completely healed; otherwise, this room would likely have been reduced to rubble due to his overwhelming aura.
Moreover, what Yuanmo Laozu mentioned about the World Gate—capable of traversing space and teleporting at will—was indeed a miraculous treasure far superior to Jun Bell.
Jun Bell’s teleportation leads to mysterious and unknown depths of the universe; who knows what kind of environment lies there? Even Lu Chen himself has not dared to venture there lightly.
The depths of the dark Cosmic Starry Sky are synonymous with peril and death, as well as chaotic void currents that could tear apart even a Divine Power Body. While miracles may exist there, so too do dangers in equal measure.
Not only Lu Chen himself but even Jun Bell's former master King Jun had never explored this realm.
The item in the hands of the Minotaur, the World Gate, is completely different; the World Gate is controllable and allows for arbitrary teleportation.
Therefore, compared to other methods, the World Gate is much more refined. When used in combat against enemies, it is undoubtedly a divine artifact, suitable for ambushes and escapes.
From Yuanmo Laozu's tone, Lu Chen sensed a hint of something unusual; it might not be so simple for the Minotaur to obtain the inheritance of the World Gate.
In ancient times, some divine artifacts were sentient and could not be easily wielded by just anyone who possessed them. They required recognition or a master’s seal; otherwise, not only could one fail to control the artifact, but they might also suffer backlash.
"How severe is the ancestor's injury? How long would it take to recover to peak condition?" Lu Chen cautiously asked, but Yuanmo Laozu's response was disappointing.
Yuanmo Laozu shook his head and said, "It is no longer possible. I have slept for too long; thousands of years have passed. Some things have completely deteriorated like flesh functions and can no longer be restored. Even if I spent hundreds of years on it, I could never return to my peak."
The Yin Spirit refers to the Soul. While the concept of the Soul seems simple, it is actually composed of several important components, with spirit being paramount. As long as the spirit exists, the Soul will never perish.
Yuanmo Laozu has been asleep for thousands of years; perhaps due to certain protective measures, his Flesh remains intact. However, his Soul has suffered from prolonged slumber and has forgotten those indispensable elements within its spirit over the millennia.
This does not mean that Yuanmo Laozu has a problem with his state of mind. An existence like Yuanmo Laozu can still elevate himself through different insights into his soul and Dao Heart, transforming evil into justice; anyone who achieves great success can do this.
Thus, Yuanmo Laozu does not have a problem with his state of mind; rather, it is his Soul's function that is impaired. If he were at his peak, how could the Demon Sculptor and Minotaur possibly be his opponents?
Lu Chen learned from Yuanmo Laozu that his cultivation level is likely at the Void Immortal Fourth Secret Realm, known as the Four Aspects of the Yin Spirit.
The Void Immortal Fourth Secret Realm is called the Four Aspects of the Yin Spirit. The four incarnations of Yin Spirit are divided into four parts and are far more powerful than Divine Dragon's Hideout's Dragon Clone; they are not even in the same league.
Yuanmo Laozu's Soul cultivation is the most formidable Lu Chen has seen among people so far—without exception. Even the Essence of Yin Yang Gate cannot compare.
Only one person can be compared to him, and that is the First Buddha of the Western Amitabha Sacred Land, Yenando. Yenando was rumored to have reached the Void Immortal Triple Secret Realm many years ago, and at that time, it was widely discussed and became famous, but he was still not as renowned as Yuanmo Laozu.
However, so many years have passed since then, and Yenando has surely evolved again. Perhaps he can match Yuanmo Laozu or even surpass him, but who knows? No one has seen him, nor has any news about him surfaced.
As it stands now, given Yuanmo Laozu's condition, if Lu Chen wanted to ambush him, he might succeed. Therefore, the current state of Yuanmo Laozu is quite dismal, reaching a point that is shocking.
He not only faces the threat of his race's extinction but also the fact that his Soul cannot heal. The failure of the Northern Expedition and being severely injured by the Minotaur and Demon Sculptor have all caused serious obstacles to his Dao Heart.
Lu Chen naturally understands the seriousness of the situation and tentatively asks, "Is there really no way for you to recover, Ancestor?"
Yuanmo Laozu shakes his head, his tone slightly dejected, but his expression remains calm like water. A person like him would not easily express his inner thoughts through facial expressions or body language.
Princess Zhulan looks sorrowful and uneasy, feeling anxious. If Yuanmo Laozu continues in this state, how could he possibly help them without being a burden?
Lu Chen, on the other hand, is more optimistic. In his view, there is nothing that cannot be resolved; it all depends on how one approaches it!
The crisis that Lu Chen and others face is certainly not trivial. Besides Yuanmo Laozu's deadly enemies—the Northern Alliance of the Hundred Clans and Myriad Demons—there is also the predicament in Central Plains. Sun Zizhao will face powerful enemies with overwhelming numbers against them.
Thus, Lu Chen is under immense pressure. Setting aside the situation in Central Plains for now, dealing with the mess of Yuanmo Laozu is daunting. Although the Demon Sculptor and Minotaur seem to have fled, when they will counterattack remains unknown. What will they do then? Who knows if they can withstand it?
If a promising endeavor were to be interrupted here, it would truly be a wasted effort and a deep regret.
The room had been silent for a long time, with only Lu Chen, Princess Zhulan, and Yuanmo Laozu present; the atmosphere was oppressive.
After a long while, Yuanmo Laozu finally sighed and said, "Actually, there is a way, but it's too dangerous. It's like trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth; it might as well be futile."
"Um? What does the Ancestor mean? Since there is a way, why not come out and discuss it with us? Perhaps we can turn the situation around," Lu Chen squinted and said to Yuanmo Laozu.
Yuanmo Laozu fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I just remembered this as well. I don't know if you've heard of Divine Medicine?"
Lu Chen shook his head; he definitely had not heard of this term in his past experiences. However, with Yuanmo Laozu mentioning it, he could naturally infer its effects.
"No matter what kind of medicine it is, if it can cure the Ancestor, then I believe it is good medicine," Lu Chen said.
If Yuanmo Laozu were to recover to his peak state, the alliance would become even more stable. If Yenando dared to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, not only would the Four Great Ancestors of the Daoist Sect not let him off, but Lu Chen could also have Yuanmo Laozu take action to restrain Yenando.
Thus, Lu Chen was willing to expend effort to help Yuanmo Laozu, driven by some personal motives.
Yuanmo Laozu nodded and took two steps forward, saying, "Divine Medicine, I have only heard its name but never seen it. It is said to belong to the Demon King of All Beasts and the Demon Monarch. In the past, the Demon Kingdom was ruled by someone; all races were united rather than split into several factions. At that time, the Demon Kingdom was incredibly powerful, daring to wage war against the Cosmic Starry Sky. Countless warriors and heroes existed, and both Qigong Martial Arts and soul cultivation reached their peaks. There were many who were nearly at the level of War Gods and Yin Immortals, yet in the end, they all perished together."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan were both astonished. The countless races of the Wasteland Continent unified to form an unbreakable whole, working together to build a beautiful homeland.
After long-term cooperation and development, the Demon Kingdom had indeed reached a critical point, possessing several beings nearly at the level of War Gods and many experts close to Yin Immortals. With such strength, along with countless warriors and heroes, they truly dared to challenge the Cosmic Starry Sky and confront those mysterious unknown entities.
