Chapter 683: Chapter 683: If You Can’t Wake Up, Then Attain Enlightenment

"Ancestor, Brother Lu Dao certainly did not intend to conceal anything," Chu Zhongtian hurried to explain upon seeing Chu Zhongtian’s expression, "Perhaps it’s because this place is icy, so his command over Ice Spiritual Power is somewhat stronger. Previously, he did not avoid his disciple either."

Chu Zhongtian’s words were somewhat against his conscience.

But in order to keep Lu Chen out of trouble, he still chose to speak well of him.

Fortunately, Xuan Jian did not think too much of it and believed Chu Zhongtian’s explanation, but he gave Lu Chen a more admiring look.

After a thorough search, he found a cave not far away and said, "In that case, let’s not take him back into the icy lands. Let’s recover here."

He was uncomfortable in the icy lands as well; it was an ideal opportunity to heal their wounds together.

Chu Zhongtian breathed a sigh of relief, saw the Ice-Strange Fire on the Heavenly Inquiry Spear beside him had already retracted, and so he helped carry the long spear, following Xuan Jian into the cave.

Xuan Jian set up a restriction and took a deep look at Lu Chen, then also took out some pills to consume, while Chu Zhongtian, utterly bored, bowed his head to gaze at the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, falling into deep thought.

...

"Something seems to have happened to the young master!"

Miles away, Qin Yaotiao suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth.

Li Yanran exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Yaotiao, how did you know?"

"I... I’m not sure," Qin Yaotiao touched her abdomen subconsciously, where her Golden Core was located.

And her Golden Core was the Life Eye Pupil Skill.

The Life Eye Pupil Skill first flew into Lu Chen’s eye socket, and then, finally, Lu Chen placed it into Qin Yaotiao’s Dantian.

Unseen, the two had formed a faint connection.

"Sister Yaotiao," Li Yanran comforted, "Brother Lu has a wooden decoy on him; if there’s really a problem, he would still have a chance at life. Don’t worry too much."

"But..."

Qin Yaotiao hesitated, and although Li Yanran was just trying to console her, she wasn’t sure if the wooden decoy would still be useful after Lu Chen reached the Core Formation Stage.

She had kept silent all this while.

Worried about affecting Lu Chen.

Feeling guilty, she thought, if Lu Chen died because of this, she believed she had an irrefutable responsibility.

"Sister Yaotiao, all we can do is wait here. Brother Lu is someone who does great things. We mustn’t become a burden to him. Besides, Brother Lu is cunning and adept, he will surely be fine," Li Yanran could not think of other solutions, so she could only say this.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yaotiao sat back down, but her heart wouldn’t calm down.

The entrance of the cave was sealed by Li Yanran with the Wood Spiritual Bead, appearing completely isolated from the world.

To alleviate their restlessness, whether it was her and Li Yanran, or Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing, all of them silently cultivated.

It’s said that in the pursuit of immortality, one forgets the years.

The four of them also lost track of time.

At the same time, Lu Chen did not wake up either. His mind seemed trapped on the dead Pupil Skill, a familiar feeling, yet he was unable to break free.

"Without seeing the body formed by my own consciousness, I can’t switch back at all."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly. Previously, by immersing his mind and then using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, his perspective would switch with the dead Pupil Skill.

It was very similar to that situation now, but not being able to see his own body of consciousness, he naturally couldn’t free himself.

"Master, it must be the power that knocked you unconscious was too strong," the Spiritual Fire emerged from beneath the Pupil Skill to speak, and now only he could communicate with Lu Chen.

"But since my consciousness is still here, I should be fine, right? Why can’t I return?"

Lu Chen asked with a wry smile, knowing full well that the Spiritual Fire would not have a solution, yet he couldn’t help but ask.

If no one spoke to him, he feared he would go crazy.

"Master, you’re asking me, but I don’t know either," as he expected, the Spiritual Fire knew nothing, and could only comfort Lu Chen, saying, "However, Master, since you can’t return to your body, why not take this opportunity to truly comprehend the Dao? Simply waiting here isn’t a solution."

Lu Chen sighed and said, "I know that, but the situation in the secret realm is tense, and I’m unsure whether I’m dead or alive, nor do I know what Chu Zhongtian and Xuan Jian will do to me! Let alone Yaotiao and the others..."

Spiritual Fire spoke frankly, "But Master, what use is your worrying?"

Lu Chen was stunned.

Indeed, what use was there in worrying?

"You’re right," Lu Chen suddenly felt invigorated and said, "I should take this chance to truly comprehend the Dao. When I awoken from my body, I’ll be able to put into practice the Dao that I’ve comprehended!"

As his words faded, the dead Pupil Skill suddenly emitted a sharp light, just like Lu Chen’s own eyes!
