Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Lu Chen Begins His Breakthrough!

"Withdraw your mind from your body," the totem stone statue said solemnly, "Just keep cultivating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, and leave everything else to me!"

The essence of the Spirit Vein Source Stone’s power all converged on the totem stone statue—or in other words, was absorbed by Lu Chen’s Golden Core.

Only, this Golden Core had its own will, which allowed Lu Chen to engage in dual-minded cultivation without any effect on himself!

"Senior, then I will trouble you to do so!"

Lu Chen still responded respectfully.

"There’s no trouble. Once you have achieved Nascent Soul, I will tell you more about the Hatetian Clan!"

After the totem stone statue spoke, Lu Chen also withdrew his consciousness, only to find that he seemed to have been buried alive!

"Could something have happened to them?"

Lu Chen was startled and was just about to release Spirit Stones to search for the traces of Chu Zhongtian and the Xuan Ming Yao Snake when he heard the voice of the totem stone statue echo in his mind!

"Lu Chen, boy, there is no time to delay. If you don’t cultivate, the Spiritual Power of the Spirit Stones here will also dissipate between heaven and earth! Hurry up!"

Lu Chen quickly rallied his spirit, knowing that sharpening his axe would not delay the work of cutting wood. Right now, he could also not search for where they had gone. It would rather be after achieving Nascent Soul that he would more easily find them!

"Yes, Senior!"

Lu Chen replied aloud and concentrated, letting himself just stand there, taking control of his body to start fiercely circulating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

Suddenly.

Around his body, from all directions.

Threads of Spiritual Power, from the cracks in the stone, steadily flowed towards Lu Chen!

It was like countless rivulets merging into rivers and lakes, eventually flowing into the sea!

And that sea was Lu Chen’s Dantian!

As the Spiritual Power continued to surge in, Lu Chen’s stagnant pupils began to change as well.

But all of this was resolved by the totem stone statue; Lu Chen didn’t need to be distracted and only needed to focus on absorbing the Spiritual Power into his body!

Very quickly.

Centered on him.

The stones burying him, many of which were Spirit Stones, gradually turned into white ash dust as the Spiritual Power within them was exhausted.

Just like when Chu Zhongtian cultivated and absorbed Medium Grade Spirit Stones to depletion.

The ash dust would then fall back into the stone crevices.

The space around where Lu Chen was located was getting increasingly larger, as the stones began to collapse, and he slowly sank downwards.

Meanwhile.

Chu Zhongtian finally saw the Core Formation stewards.

A total of six people had arrived.

He counted them, and excluding Senior Brother Zhu and Junior Brother Ji, all the stewards had arrived at this place.

"They... indeed came, and they all came!"

Murderous intent flickered in Chu Zhongtian’s eyes, and his hand tightly gripped his Shadowless Sword!

"Pan Yunsheng is at the late stage of Core Formation. If I kill him first, it will plunge them into a headless chaos!"

As the saying goes, catch the thief by capturing the king.

Chu Zhongtian wanted to buy time for Lu Chen, and there was no other way but this.

However, he had not considered an all-out battle.

Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, just as people must be killed one by one!

"Junior Brother Pan, it seems like there has been a collapse here."

A Core Formation steward walked at the front, quickly approached Pan Yunsheng after seeing the situation, and said.

"Could it be possible that Chu Zhongtian destroyed this place to prevent us from chasing after them?"

Pan Yunsheng looked at him as if he were a fool.

"That’s just Chu Zhongtian trying to cover up his tracks! If we believe that, we might fall for his trick! We’ve not found anything along the way; perhaps he has gone to another mine tunnel!"

Although Pan Yunsheng’s cultivation had reached its limit, he was experienced in his actions. As he spoke, he looked towards the tunnel where Chu Zhongtian was.

"Junior Brother Pan, you mean to say... they might be hiding in this tunnel?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhongtian tensed all over.

Just as he was about to wield the Shadowless Sword and kill Pan Yunsheng, he heard him say, "It’s possible they’re hiding here, and equally possible they’re somewhere else! Chu Zhongtian broke through to the Core Formation Stage and even killed two of our Junior Brothers without us knowing, which shows the depths of his cunning!"

Chu Zhongtian was taken aback, killed two people?

Hadn’t he and the Xuan Ming Ice Snake only killed one?

However, any confusion was fleeting.

Undoubtedly, the other must have been killed by Lu Chen.

With a bit more thought, he could roughly piece together the course of events.

"Perhaps Brother Lu Dao killed one first to avoid affecting me... otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to break through to the Core Formation Stage!"

Realizing this, Chu Zhongtian subconsciously tightened his grip on the Shadowless Sword, his mind growing even calmer!

Pan Yunsheng did not move but continued to speak, "Chu Zhongtian will have to come out sooner or later. If we rashly search for him, we might indeed capture him, but we can’t guarantee that we won’t suffer further losses! Two of our Junior Brothers have died, and if another dies..."

He stopped speaking there.

But everyone understood that Pan Yunsheng was no longer willing to take risks.

"Then what should we do, Senior Brother Pan?"

Pan Yunsheng took two steps back and then said, "Go guard at the entrance of the tunnel, and respond to changes with constancy! I refuse to believe that he can remain underground until achieving Nascent Soul before coming out! Even if that happens, I’m sure the Nascent Soul Elders of the Xuanyun Sect will have returned by then!"
