Chapter 1438 Too Enthusiastic
After his breakthrough in cultivation, Lu Chen exuded an aura of transcendence. His eyes were clear as water, yet deep as the sea; his face was calm and peaceful, yet it conveyed an undeniable sense of authority.
More importantly, he gained a completely new understanding of himself and the world. Reaching the Dao Cultivation Realm not only signifies a leap in cultivation, but also a spiritual baptism.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Chen knew that this improvement in his cultivation was not due to his own extraordinary talent, but rather to the terrifying deductive ability of the Chaos Dao Life Technique and the blessing of the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring.
Of course, the Sky Tower of Time also played a crucial role. Because it used a mid-grade divine vein, it took Lu Chen nearly three hundred years to comprehend "Cultivating the Dao" on the ninth floor, while only the time it takes to brew a cup of tea had passed in the outside world.
At the same time, the moment Lu Chen broke through his cultivation, the seal placed on his dantian by Uncle Yun Kebo was completely destroyed by Lu Chen's powerful divine energy, and the magic rope on his body also became useless.
At this moment, Lu Chen stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the continuous and powerful force within his body, feeling extremely excited.
"I've finally broken through to the Dao Cultivation Realm! If I encounter a Dao Transformation Realm cultivator, I won't have to be timid anymore." Lu Chen clenched his fist and excitedly muttered to himself.
Then, he vanished from the Golden Pearl World in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was back in the dungeon.
Then, his gaze fell on the "self" on the ground, which was exactly the same as himself. This was his avatar, an existence that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Looking at it, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, a golden light flashed, and his avatar disappeared, being absorbed into the golden bead world.
After completing all of this, Lu Chen's eyes became resolute.
Next, he planned to meet with the powerful members of the Qiong clan, especially Yun Kebo's third uncle, whom he needed to teach a lesson.
Just as Lu Chen was about to forcefully break out of the formation, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the dungeon.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared before them. It was Yun Kebo. Upon seeing Lu Chen, he said apologetically:
"Brother Lu, I'm so sorry to have made you suffer. I've already informed the clan leader about your situation. He wants to see you, and an elder will come to release you shortly. I've come to inform you in advance."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart stirred, but he didn't show much surprise or displeasure. Instead, a gentle smile appeared on his face:
"It's alright, after all you didn't know either. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there's no need to worry about such trivial matters. Let's go, I also want to go and meet your clan leader."
“But…” Yun Kebo was about to say that Lu Chen should wait a moment when his pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw Lu Chen gently extend his palm and draw several mysterious hand seals in the void, after which an invisible force gathered from all directions.
With a slight tremor, the array barrier inside the cell gradually faded away like melting snow, until it disappeared completely.
Yun Kebo witnessed all of this and stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
As a member of the Youqiong clan, he was naturally very clear about the power of his family's formation, but Lu Chen was able to break it so easily, which was truly amazing.
"Brother Lu, I never expected you to have such skills!" Yun Kebo exclaimed sincerely. "It seems I underestimated you before."
Lu Chen smiled faintly and did not offer any further explanation. Moreover, he intentionally concealed his cultivation level at the Shaping Dao Realm, preparing to play the fool and outmaneuver the strong.
Just as the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside. Then, several white-haired old men appeared at the cell door. They exuded a faint aura of power and were clearly respected elders of the Youqiong clan.
The elderly man at the head of the group had piercing eyes as he looked Lu Chen up and down, his gaze filled with both scrutiny and shock.
However, he did not dwell too much on how Lu Chen got out of the prison or how he broke the seal placed by the Third Elder.
In his view, since Lu Chen was able to gain the recognition of the "Sun Chasing Sacred Bow" as its master, he must have some extraordinary abilities. According to Yun Kebo's account, this kid might be hiding his cultivation level.
Lu Chen hadn't expected that the old man was secretly making things up. If he knew what the old man was thinking, he would definitely grab the old man's hand and shout, "Senior, you have such keen insight!"
"Young man, your name is Lu Chen, right?" the old man asked in a loud and powerful voice. "Our clan leader has heard about you and is quite interested in you. Now, please come with us."
Lu Chen nodded slightly in agreement. Thus, surrounded by the crowd, he followed the elders out of the dungeon.
Along the way, Lu Chen noticed that although the surrounding environment seemed ordinary, it actually exuded an extraordinary aura.
Both the architectural layout and the decorative style subtly reveal the profound cultural heritage and unique aesthetic concepts of the Youqiong people.
Before long, the group arrived in front of a magnificent hall. This was one of the main places where the clan chief handled affairs and received guests.
When Lu Chen, Yun Kebo, and the others stepped into the main hall, they immediately felt an unprecedentedly powerful aura rushing towards them.
Looking up, one could see a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor sitting in the very center. This man was none other than Yun Tianqi, the current patriarch of the Youqiong clan.
Before arriving, Yun Kebo had already conveyed the clan leader's basic information to Lu Chen through divine sense, so even without an introduction, he could guess the middle-aged cultivator's identity.
At this moment, the old man in charge of escorting Lu Chen stepped forward, respectfully cupped his hands, and said:
"Clan leader, this boy is Lu Chen. Please give your instructions."
Sitting on the high platform, Yun Tianqi smiled slightly, a smile that contained both the kindness of an elder and a hint of a deeper meaning that was not easily detected. He warmly greeted, "Young friend Lu, please have a seat."
Lu Chen felt Yun Tianqi's enthusiasm. Although he had some doubts, he still maintained a polite smile.
Following Yun Tianqi's gesture, the group was led to a private seating area on one side of the main hall. The seats were covered with soft animal hides, and exquisite antiques were displayed around them, showcasing the host's taste and status.
After everyone was seated, a pretty and elegant female nun slowly walked over with a tray. She moved lightly and smiled as she poured fragrant tea for everyone present.
The tea was crystal clear, emitting a delicate aroma that was refreshing and delightful.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Although Lu Chen had many questions in his mind, he pretended to lower his guard and chatted with the elders about interesting anecdotes from the Divine Domain.
He thought to himself, "I'll see what you're really up to."
