That person stood in front of Lu Chen, his hands resembling the Eight Trigrams Dragon. He shouted, "Primordial Heaven and Earth Shield!"
With a hum, a transparent shield formed in an instant. The two dragons collided with the Heaven and Earth Shield. Lu Chen could still feel the ground trembling, but the two dragons could no longer get close to him!
"Break for me!" The old man shouted again, and the light shield suddenly exploded!
The two powerful cultivation techniques collided, forming a shockwave in the air that spread out infinitely …
After a while, the two dragons were finally destroyed, and the hundreds of Chess Souls of the Heavenly Might Chessboard turned back into chess pieces!
"This … What a powerful technique!" Lu Chen's eyes widened.
In front of the Heavenly Might Twin Dragons, he was powerless, but the old man broke the Heavenly Might Chessboard in one move!
In the sky, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the Heavenly Might Chessboard's environment also disappeared, and it returned to the small chessboard from before.
The old man turned around slightly, and helped the heavily injured Lu Chen up. He raised one hand. "Silent Nourishment."
Recovering 1,000,000 HP per second, Lu Chen, who was almost depleted of HP, recovered to full HP in four seconds!
Lu Chen stared at the old man with wide eyes. "Old man, it's you!"
This person was the Itinerant Immortal old man that Lu Chen had met a few times before.
The old man smiled. "Kid, you're really lucky. You actually managed to hold on until I arrived? Come, take a seat. "
Lu Chen sat on the stone bench. "Old man, thank you for saving my life, but why did you save me?"
The old man took out a teapot and two green jade cups, and slowly filled them up. He pushed one of the cups to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen frowned slightly. "Add 50 Spiritual Energy?" He still remembered that the old man's cup of tea added 50 Spiritual Energy. It was comparable to a mini immortal pill.
The old man smiled. "50 Spiritual Energy is probably not enough for you now, right?"
Lu Chen laughed. "Sorry, even if it's only 5 Spiritual Energy, I can drink until you go bankrupt."
The old man laughed. This kid was almost beaten back to level one just a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, he was full of energy again.
Speaking of which, he kind of liked her personality. At least it was better than crying endlessly or thanking him profusely. It made him feel less burdened.
"You asked me why I saved you?"
Lu Chen drank 50 Spiritual Energy Points without hesitation. "Yeah, I don't think we're close enough for you to come and save me."
"We don't, but Rhubarb likes you. Since it asked me to come, of course I have to come."
"Rhubarb? By the way, where is Rhubarb? "
The old man released Rhubarb. This time, when Rhubarb came out and saw that Lu Chen was fine, it wagged its tail and laid down beside Lu Chen's feet, expressing its joy in its lazy way …
"Rhubarb, I've only been apart from you for half a year and you've already recognized your new master." The old man smiled.
"Woof woof!"
"Well, okay, you said he saved you. That's a reason." Although the old man complained, his expression did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Rhubarb, so it's you? Hahaha, thank you! "Lu Chen patted Rhubarb's head.
The old man smiled. "Of course, that's only one of the reasons. The real reason is … Do you still remember what I said when we first met? Mad God or Nameless, it's up to you to decide who you want to be. "
Lu Chen stopped smiling. "I remember, but I don't want to be Mad God or Nameless. I'm me."
The old man nodded. "Along the way, I've seen your behavior. You're both good and evil. You have a selfish side, but you also have a selfless side, a vicious side, and a forgiving side."
"Maybe this is the real 'human'! Isn't this the form of existence that coincides with the Heavenly Dao? "
Lu Chen frowned. "Old man, what you're saying is too profound."
The old man smiled. "You're still too inexperienced, so of course you don't understand. Maybe you'll understand in the future."
"Anyway, the reason why I saved you is to see how far you can go! Nine Heavens, how many heavens can you go! "
Lu Chen frowned slightly. "Even if I can't defeat the Heavens' BOSS, doesn't that mean I can go to the higher heavens?"
The old man hesitated. "I'm just an Itinerant Immortal. If I fail to become an Immortal, I'll either disband or become an Itinerant Immortal. I'm tired of starting from the heavens, so I chose to become an Itinerant Immortal."
"Since you're an Itinerant Immortal, you'll be restricted in some way. That's why I can't reveal some things to you in advance."
Lu Chen listened carefully.
"Take the players on Earth for example. Even if they reach the third heaven, do you think they can survive in the third heaven with their current strength?"
Lu Chen shook his head. With their current strength, it would be difficult for them to survive in the second heaven. They had to quickly increase their strength.
"That's the reason. Even if they have the chance to go to the fourth heaven, do you think they'll go?"
"They won't!"
The old man nodded. "That's right. With their current strength, it's impossible for them to go to the fourth heaven! Moreover, each Heavenly Domain is a Heavenly Domain, and each Heavenly Domain after that will be much harder than you can imagine. "
Lu Chen finally understood the old man's meaning.
In short, the higher you go, the more difficult it is. The strength required is also more terrifying.
"That's right. Old man, you said you need to follow some kind of restriction. Then wouldn't you be breaking the rules of the game by saving me?"
The old man was calm. "That's right. And it's against the wishes of the Senior Immortal and the Heavenly Dao. So … I might not be able to help you for a long time."
Lu Chen's heart sank. In order to save him, the old man had to accept some kind of punishment?
At this moment, Lu Chen received a system notification.
[Activate the unrewarded optional mission "Save Mu Xuan"]
[Mission description: Itinerant Immortal Mu Xuan broke the rules to save you. He will be imprisoned in the "Heaven's Punishment Tower Ninth Floor"]
[Mission content: Break through the Heaven's Punishment Tower and save Mu Xuan.]
Lu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and looked up at the old man. "Heaven's Punishment Tower … where is it?"
The old man was stunned for a moment. But then he understood that this kid already knew. "You received the mission? The Heaven's Punishment Tower is in the third heaven. "
Lu Chen took a deep breath. "Okay, wait for me!"
The old man smiled and did not speak nonsense. He raised his teacup and looked at Lu Chen with a smile. "Okay, this old man will wait for you."
[Received the mission "Save Mu Xuan"]
Lu Chen's mission tab had an additional mission.
After drinking three cups, he obtained 150 spiritual energy. But the old man's teapot did not seem to have much immortal dew left.
Mu Xuan stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. "Oh right, Heavenly Might Chess Game – Heavenly Punishment actually has a mission reward."
"Oh? This … what reward? "
The old man looked at Rhubarb. Lu Chen immediately understood. Rhubarb definitely knew.
"That's not right. I didn't complete the mission either," Lu Chen said in surprise.
"Tsk, of course you couldn't complete it. Didn't I help you complete it?" The old man smiled and shook his head.
"That works too?"
"What's wrong with that? My main account is just carrying a side account to complete the mission."
"But you're an NPC!"
The old man smiled and shook his head, not continuing to explain. "Okay, I should go. You'll have to rely on yourself in the future." With that, the old man's figure blurred and disappeared in front of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen let out a long sigh.
Although the Heavenly Might Chess Game this time was considered a punishment beyond his level, Lu Chen still felt that he was not strong enough.
In front of the Heavenly Might Twin Dragons, he could only be beaten up.
"Okay, looks like I have to keep getting stronger. Only then can I break through the Heaven's Punishment Tower!"
"Rhubarb, don't just stand there. Hurry up and find the treasure!"
