CHAPTER 1819: CHAPTER 673: LOTUS PLATFORM ACQUIRED, BORROWING TREASURE FOR CULTIVATION_2

"If you’re worried about being suppressed by True Masters adept in the Divine Soul technique during the upcoming battle, don’t forget I am here to help!"

"Though I may not excel in Combat Ability, when it comes to the Divine Soul technique, even mid-Nascent Soul Stage cultivators—I’m confident I can compete. Protecting your Divine Soul is no trouble at all!"

Luo Chen managed a smile, his mood indeed lifted somewhat.

Divine Soul techniques, mysterious and unpredictable.

Not all Nascent Soul True Masters are adept at them.

Even Jiao Emperor Liu Jun had only used sonic attacks, interwoven with minimal Divine Soul techniques before.

Such methods are nearly indistinguishable from his Illusion Technique Mirror Flower, Water Moon.

In fact, he finds Jiao Emperor Liu Jun’s enchanting song somewhat crude, incomparable to his mastery of Mirror Flower, Water Moon.

Techniques like Han Zhan’s, which can directly attack the enemy’s Divine Soul, are likely rare in this world.

Gathering his spirits, Luo Chen’s Spirit Vision pierced through the flowing magma, landing on the small Five Elements Lotus Stand.

The prior conversation was not merely pass-time chatter.

Throughout it, he had been observing the Five Elements Lotus Stand.

This lotus’s level of awareness is indeed extraordinary, sensing the danger of its location, it deliberately reduced its size to avoid extensive burning by the high temperatures.

Moreover, its smaller form makes it easier to conceal itself.

If not for Han Zhan’s refined corpse avatar following closely, Luo Chen might have arrived here without locating the hiding place of the Five Elements Lotus Stand.

What comes next is to claim this spiritual object!

How will he do it?

Luo Chen has long been prepared!

As a seasoned Fourth Order Pill Refiner, he’s well-versed in harvesting various Spirit Medicines.

Especially before entering the Land of Fallen Demons, he researched several methodologies for claiming the Five Elements Lotus Stand.

The simplest and most brutal is to use superior strength to isolate it from Heaven and Earth Qi, directly seizing it.

Secondly, using implements that do not belong to the Five Elements for harvesting.

Why use non-Five Element tools?

The reason is simple; the Five Elements Lotus Stand inherently embodies Five Elements Spirit Qi, adept at the arising and overcoming of elements as a survival skill.

Whether earth, wood jade boxes, or metal fire blades, it instinctively evades them and can escape when caught.

Hence, non-Five Element tools can bypass this influence.

Finally, there’s another method!

That involves using a magic item embodying the Five Elements to collect it.

With Five Elements, it fears not the arising and overcoming of elements, following a path of shared origin.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun couldn’t forcibly collect it, likely due to lacking an appropriate collection item.

Yet Luo Chen happens to possess such an item!

With a thought, Luo Chen slightly opened his mouth.

A gray miniature Cauldron streaked out and appeared above the large lake.

With Qi Power, the gray miniature Cauldron swelled to several yards in size in an instant.

It is none other than his Natal Magic Item—Primordial Chaos Tripod!

Luo Chen gestured with a Dao Spirit Technique, the Primordial Chaos Tripod began spinning rapidly, spreading a potent suppressive force that immediately enveloped the seemingly well-hidden Five Elements Lotus Stand!

Then, Luo Chen flicked his fingers consecutively.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Magic Power Chains flew out with a clattering sound, grayish instead of Luo Chen’s usual crimson red.

Clearly, controlling the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Luo Chen had preemptively converted his Five Elements Magic Power, hence the nine chains were grayish in hue.

The nine Magic Power Chains slithered like Spiritual Snakes and quickly landed beside the Five Elements Lotus Stand.

With danger at hand, the conscious Five Elements Lotus Stand naturally refused to stay put.

As the lotus stand rotated, its size suddenly enlarged to about five meters, standing in the sea of fire, resembling a fiery lotus!

The nine chains tried to bind it and pull it back.

But in their contest of strength, the Five Elements Lotus Stand remained completely unmoved!

"This!"

Luo Chen showed a surprised expression.

Han Zhan, observing the scene, remarked: "Tai Sui was right, this lotus stand indeed possesses profound Dao cultivation, just one step away from advancing to the Fifth Order."

Luo Chen furrowed his brow, he understood it too.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun couldn’t take it directly, not just because he lacked the right tool, but perhaps the Five Elements Lotus Stand’s own resistance accounted for a significant factor.

That’s why he had no choice but to utilize it for healing on Vermilion Bird Mountain.

Even during the Time of the Great War, the Five Elements Lotus Stand forced its escape, with Jiao Emperor Liu Jun too stretched to suppress it.

If that’s so, even if he manages to claim it now, it’s unlikely he can secure it in a storage ring to take away.

This indeed poses a challenge.

"I was underprepared; Blood Independent Cultivator expended tremendous effort to collect the Fifth-order Dry Blood Vine, and this Five Elements Lotus Stand being just a step away from Fifth Order, the difficulty in collecting it can be imagined."

"Regardless of the troubles later on, at least get it away from here first!"

He could clearly see that within Vermilion Bird Mountain, the Five Elements Lotus Stand, like him, enjoys home ground conveniences, tireless, continuously replenished.

Thus, he must first take it away!

Luo Chen pressed his lips, steeling his resolve, letting loose the remaining Qi Power from his Second Prime Elixir.

The nine chains suddenly tightened.

"Come out for me!"

A silent struggle unfolded between man and lotus.

Later, Luo Chen even exhausted the Qi Power in his Origin Core, beginning to use power from his Lifebound Golden Core, barely managing to pull the Five Elements Lotus Stand several hundred meters.

Then, at this moment.

"If you don’t mind, I’ll lend you a hand!"

"Hmm?"

Luo Chen was momentarily surprised, then accepted Han Zhan’s assistance.
