Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Crushing the Pickaxe, Absorbing the Golden Spiritual Power!

Lu Chen knelt on one knee, holding the long spear horizontally above him with both hands.

This was the only defensive spear technique within the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"Clang!"

The pickaxe made of golden Spiritual Power, as though tangible, struck the spear shaft, emitting the sound of metal clashing against metal!

At the same time, a tremendous force followed, causing Lu Chen’s other knee, which was half-kneeling, to crash into the ground!

"What tremendous strength!"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and persevered, meanwhile frantically circulating the Fire Spiritual Power within his body into the long spear, and then thrust it upward!

"Woosh—"

Instantly, a huge flame surged out from the long spear, sweeping toward the pickaxe!

Fire overcomes metal, and in the blink of an eye, the pickaxe quickly disintegrated into wisps of Fire Spiritual Power that seemed to possess intelligence, fleeing in all directions!

"Since I can suppress the golden Spiritual Power, why then did it condense and attack me?" Lu Chen watched as all the golden Spiritual Power in the area was driven into a corner by his Fire Spiritual Power, and after a moment’s thought, he understood.

"It’s like a cornered dog jumping over a wall, isn’t it? Knowing it is suppressed, it decides to fight with all it’s got! But, whether these Spiritual Powers are attacking autonomously because they are sentient or it’s just an instinct of the Spiritual Power itself... this is harder to figure out..."

Lu Chen looked up and saw his Fire Spiritual Power had cornered all the golden Spiritual Power.

Beneath his pupils, he could even see the golden Spiritual Power, forced to condense into a ball, trembling.

"That’s quite interesting," a curve appeared at the corner of Lu Chen’s mouth, yet he couldn’t help but have a thought—what if I absorbed all this golden Spiritual Power? Could there be unexpected benefits?

No sooner said than done.

Lu Chen’s body was originally brimming with Fire Spiritual Power, but after running around in the mine’s Illusionary Realm for nearly ten hours, he had used a considerable amount.

Naturally, there was now some empty space in his Dantian.

However.

The Dantian was entirely filled with Fire Spiritual Power, so it was uncertain whether the added golden Spiritual Power would be continuously suppressed by the Fire Spiritual Power after absorption!

"Forget it, why worry about that when I haven’t even tried to absorb it?" Lu Chen, holding the spear with one hand, rushed towards the golden Spiritual Power.

As he got closer, he quickly started to circulate the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

Because the Fire Spiritual Power he wielded had been separated from his body, it was also slowly dissipating.

Lu Chen didn’t want to have to wield Fire Spiritual Power again later.

With the operation of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, the effect of Spirit Attraction naturally occurred, and the golden Spiritual Power, as if finding a path to escape, rushed towards Lu Chen and entered his forehead unimpeded, flowed through the nine meridians and finally settled peacefully in his Dantian!

As he expected, the Fire Spiritual Power within his Dantian quickly surged, attacking the golden Spiritual Power!

"Right, since it’s entered my Dantian, I can certainly control it..." Having anticipated this outcome, Lu Chen quickly thought of a countermeasure and forcefully controlled all the Fire Spiritual Power.

With that, the Fire Spiritual Power calmed down instantly, and the golden Spiritual Power seemed to carefully blend into the Dantian.

When all the golden Spiritual Power had been refined, Lu Chen suddenly noticed something strange!

"Eh? Why does it feel like my Dantian is spinning?"

Originally, his Dantian resembled a slowly moving five-colored turntable, but since it had all been converted to Fire Spiritual Power, it seemed no different from before and did not exhibit any movement.

However, with the addition of the golden Spiritual Power, the touch of gold was particularly striking in the Dantian, and Lu Chen could naturally spot the issue.

"How odd, could it be because of the uniqueness of this golden Spiritual Power?" Lu Chen furrowed his brows, but couldn’t figure out the reason.

But he didn’t think too much about it, as there were more pressing matters at hand!

He had assumed that there was no golden Spiritual Power in this place, and now, indeed, there wasn’t any left.

He stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.

Suddenly, he noticed that at a higher point on the walls of the space, there was a small cave, and something flickered inside.

"Is there someone?"

Shocked, Lu Chen thought that if that person had attacked him earlier, perhaps...

But most importantly, could this mine’s Illusion Array be related to him?

Lu Chen’s gaze sharpened, spear in one hand and drawing a flying sword from his storage bag with the other.

He wanted to pursue the cave to have a look!
