Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Time’s Up, Prepare to Go to the Haotian Secret Realm!

Lu Chen wouldn’t tell Zhu Chongjiu everything, even though Zhu Chongjiu was very concerned about him.

However, there were things that still had to be said.

Lu Chen said, "Master, I feel that something in the Casting Gear Pavilion isn’t quite right. Do you remember your own condition before?"

"Of course, I remember," Zhu Chongjiu was also slowly recovering and recalling his previous state which was almost inconceivable. He, a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, had actually suffered memory decline, just like the dementia of ordinary old people. He couldn’t help but ask, "Did you discover anything?"

"I’m not sure," Lu Chen guessed it was Ning Changzhong’s doing, and it had something to do with the patterns inside the bell. However, he couldn’t be certain and could only remind Zhu Chongjiu, "Master, I am going to enter secluded cultivation and properly cultivate until the Haotian Secret Realm opens! So, in the coming days, you should take in more disciples and let them handle matters! When you have nothing to do, stay in the cave dwelling, and try to go out as little as possible!"

"You don’t need to worry about your master’s affairs," Zhu Chongjiu gazed at Lu Chen with intense eyes and said, "Don’t you want your master to take you to other peaks? If you can absorb the fire energy from the other peaks, your master can help you!"

Lu Chen smiled and replied, "Master, of course I have thought about it, but the Haotian Secret Realm... only those at the Foundation Establishment Stage can enter. If I reach the Core Formation Stage, how will I be able to enter then?"

Zhu Chongjiu was startled and then understood Lu Chen’s intention. His expression turned solemn as he said, "Lu Chen, since you are going to enter seclusion to cultivate, then give me your spear so I can take these days to further refine it for you! Previously on Ninefold Peak, your master lost everything, but here on Zhaixing Peak, we have plenty of materials! As for taking in disciples, that can wait until after you have left, then your master will take more in!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen said, "That’s fine. Master, you refine the spear here, and I will go to Ninefold Peak to cultivate!"

"Good, there’s not much time left before we head to the Haotian Secret Realm. Your master will personally take you there!"

With Zhu Chongjiu accompanying him, Lu Chen quickly arrived at Ninefold Peak!

After handing over the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to Zhu Chongjiu, Lu Chen directly entered deep into the cave dwelling and then activated the protective restrictions.

He instructed Zhu Chongjiu that he would be cultivating inside and if there was any news, Zhu Chongjiu could come directly into the restricted area.

The purpose of this was also to prevent others from interrupting.

By the side of the fire pit, Lu Chen sat cross-legged.

He slowly absorbed the Earth Vein Fire just as he had done before.

Time slipped by in a blur.

After half a month, Lu Chen already felt that he had touched the bottleneck of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The Spiritual Fire continued to grow stronger, but the increase in his strength had gradually come to a halt.

There hadn’t been any progress for several days.

"What exactly is the problem? Is it true that I need Fire Essence to proceed?"

Lu Chen opened his eyes, deep in thought. During his cultivation, he had tried many methods, but nothing seemed to make a difference.

It was at this moment.

The restrictive spell flashed with light, and Zhu Chongjiu, wielding the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, burst in.

"Lu Chen, it’s time to leave. The Haotian Secret Realm opens in ten days, and you should set out now!"

Lu Chen took the spear and noticed that it had indeed undergone tremendous changes; he even felt the eager sensation of the spear’s spirit within it.

He put the Heavenly Inquiry Spear into his storage bag and hurriedly asked, "Master, how do we get to the Haotian Sect?"

He had no idea where the Haotian Sect was located.

"No rush," Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said, "Your master has arranged for several sects to go together. When the time comes, you can just follow the others."

"Several sects?"

Lu Chen was startled.

"That’s right. There’s the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, Yunfu Sect that are third-rate sects like us, and there are also second-rate sects like the Hehuan Sect and Mount Thousand Swords! When the time comes, Mount Thousand Swords will come to pick us up, and then we will meet up with the Hehuan Sect and the rest!"

Hehuan Sect?

Lu Chen’s heart suddenly tightened!

Could it be...

Would he encounter the slender maiden?
