The Black Qilin knew who Lu Chen was! It knew that he had released the Supreme Magical Beast, killed the Eight-tailed Snow Fox, and watched him kill the Eight-eyed Gnome!
It also knew that Lu Chen had come to the Demon Eye Valley to activate the Spirit Meridian!
But when Lu Chen was severely injured, it actually left?
Lu Chen could not understand why.
Luo Yao did not know the whole story. She said thoughtfully, "I heard from the Black Qilin that you wanted to activate the Spirit Meridian here … Is there a Spirit Meridian here?"
"Yes, there is an ancient Spirit Meridian." Lu Chen did not hide it. At the same time, he did not explain too much.
Luo Yao could tell that Lu Chen did not intend to explain in detail. Since he did not want to say it now, he probably would not say it even if she asked.
Then, based on the current situation, Luo Yao deduced, "The Black Qilin did not stop you. Could it be that it actually wants you to activate the ancient Spirit Meridian?"
Lu Chenfroze for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt enlightened.
That's right, why did the Four Heavenly Kings of the Magical Beasts stop him from activating the Spirit Meridian? In fact, when the Spirit Meridian of the Holy Mountain was activated, he met that strange egg, which happened to hatch that Magical Beast. He was only accidentally sucked into the black gas and came into contact with that fellow.
And after that fellow hatched, it did not stay to stop Lu Chen from doing anything.
If the Magical Beast Army did not want the Spirit Meridian to activate, then no matter how weak that fellow was, it should have reacted. But in the end, it just flew away …
It was the same for the Black Qilin. It had been hiding in the Demon Eye Valley. In Lu Chen's subconscious, he thought that it would definitely stop him from activating the Spirit Meridian.
But reality proved that the Black Qilin did not want to stop him at all!
The immortal level mission "Restart the Five Heavens" mentioned that the Five Spirit Meridians were blocked by Magical Beasts. At that time, Lu Chen thought that the Magical Beasts might have blocked the Spirit Meridian because they did not want the Immortal Cultivators to increase their strength too quickly!
But now that the Magical Beasts were reborn, if they had enough confidence, they might give up on blocking the Spirit Meridian!
The Spirit Meridian of the Demon Eye Valley is yours, but the world is ours!
Lu Chen recalled the words of the Black Qilin once again, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
Luo Yao spoke again, "Moreover, I think they might want you to activate the Spiritual Meridian! Otherwise, if I were the Black Qilin, I would definitely kill you after I saw that you possessed the strength to kill the Eight-Eyed Evil Spirit! "
"The only explanation for why they didn't attack you is that you're still useful to them!"
Luo Yao was indeed the Jade Emperor. Even though she only knew part of the truth, she was still able to analyze the cause and effect!
Lu Chen furrowed his brows. Luo Yao's words made sense. Even if the Black Qilin gave up on the Spirit Vein, he was still a threat to the Magical Beast Army.
At that time, he had been seriously injured. Although he had kept a trump card — Soul Body as One and the Godfiend Astral Body — Lu Chen had kept it to deal with the Black Qilin.
Not to mention whether or not he could win, the most important thing was that the Black Qilin should not have known that Lu Chen was hiding such a terrifying strength!
Lu Chen had obtained the Celestial Devil Astral Body at the bottom of the Autumn Lake. After that, he had not used it against any other Demonic Beasts, so it could not have known about it in advance!
Under such circumstances, the only explanation for the Black Qilin letting him off was what Luo Yao had said.
"It's possible," Lu Chen said.
"Then do you still plan to open the Spirit Vein?"
Lu Chen thought for a while. "I'm not sure … Let's find the Spirit Vein first, then we'll make a decision!"
…
After resting in the camp for three days, Lu Chen's external injuries had started to scab, and Luo Yao had recovered a lot.
Ah Tie and Xiao Hui were originally going to the Peacock City, but now that the Eight-Eyed Evil Spirit was dead, the other Demonic Beasts were no longer a threat to them. It was not appropriate to go to the Peacock City, so they changed their itinerary and went with Lu Chen to the Goshawk City in the southwest direction. From there, they did not need to pass through the Magic Eye Valley anymore.
"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demonic Beasts are in trouble, and the Seven Ancient War Gods are reborn. It feels like the Fifth Heaven is getting more and more chaotic." Ah Tie shook his head and said, "I heard that some of the peerless experts who have been living in seclusion have started to become restless. I don't know what's going on in the Fifth Heaven."
Lu Chen nodded. "Ah Tie, if you have the chance, take Xiao Hui to the Eastern Peak Nation to find my friends. One of them is called Tai Zhen, and the other is called Qian Qiuxue. They are indigenous cultivators like you. If there are more people, we can take care of each other in the future."
Ah Tie nodded. In this chaotic world, it was too difficult for him to protect Xiao Hui alone.
At this time, Luo Yao also said, "Go to the Eastern Peak Nation. Someone will ensure your safety."
As they continued to go deeper into the canyon, the surroundings became extremely wide, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.
Four days later, the four of them arrived at the Goshawk City. Ah Tie and Xiao Hui were about to leave them.
"Brother Nameless, Sister Luo Yao, you must be careful!" Xiao Hui said with red eyes.
Lu Chen touched Xiao Hui's head. "You and your father must be careful too. I hope you can find your mother."
Ah Tie thought for a moment, then took out a wooden token and handed it to Lu Chen. "Brother Nameless, take this token."
"Hmm? What is this? "Lu Chen looked at the token in his hand strangely.
The wooden token was a little worn, but the two words on it were still very clear.
"Original Deity"!
"Do you still remember that I said that I stepped onto the path of cultivation because of an opportunity?" A 'Tie said.
Lu Chen naturally remembered. He nodded and waited for Ah Tie to finish.
"It is my opportunity!"
"The Original Deity is the legendary god of our indigenous people. In our legends, the seven ancient gods were unable to stop the Demonic Beast Army, and it was him who saved the Fifth Heaven!"
Lu Chen frowned.
In the "Restart the Fifth Heaven" mission, there was mention of the war between gods and demons, but there was no record of how the cultivators won. Could it be that the Original Deity was the key to the missing part?
If it was true, the Original Deity was the one who saved the Fifth Heaven, then thinking about the tragic situation of the indigenous people now, it was even more lamentable.
Of course, this was just a legend. As for the truth, Lu Chen still needed to find the answer himself.
"Brother Nameless, the Original Deity's token contains part of the Original Deity's spiritual power. Even without the Extraction Scroll, as long as you cultivate every day, you can slowly increase your attributes."
"Ah!" Lu Chen's eyes widened.
This thing was so heaven-defying? No wonder Ah Tie could jump from an ordinary person to an Earth Cultivator! Even Xiao Hui had reached the Great Cultivator Realm!
"Ah Tie, I can't accept this thing. Your cultivation is already difficult. I am an immortal cultivator. As long as I can get the Extraction Scroll, I can increase my level."
Ah Tie pushed the Original Deity's token in front of Lu Chen and said firmly, "Brother Nameless, you misunderstood. The Original Deity's token can only exert this much effect in my hands. I have reached the Four-Star Earth Cultivator Realm, and Xiao Hui has reached the Eight-Star Great Cultivator Realm. We can no longer obtain the cultivation effect from the Original Deity's token. In the future, if we want to become stronger, we have to use the elixir."
"There is more than one Original Deity's token. The Original Deity knows how difficult it is for the indigenous people to cultivate. This is the opportunity that the Original Deity left for us indigenous people. It is like the fire of hope, allowing us indigenous people to see hope! And those of us who have been chosen will continue to pass on this hope! "
"But … Brother Tie, I am not an indigenous person!" Lu Chen looked at Ah Tie awkwardly.
"No!" Ah Tie smiled at Lu Chen. "In my eyes, you are an indigenous person!"
