Chapter 732: Chapter 732: The Issue with the Xuanming Ice Snake

Lu Chen had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage and was not familiar with the matter at hand. What occupied his mind was the urgency to return to Chu Zhongtian and the Xuanming Ice Snake as quickly as possible, and then to take them to the Eastern Domain!

If possible, Lu Chen wanted to enter the Tianyuan Abyss directly!

He did not know when the restrictions at the depths of the Tianyuan Abyss would be lifted.

But Lu Chen wanted to test them with his own realm!

Several hours later, Lu Chen was already standing in front of the man and the snake!

The Xuanming Ice Snake was not completely recovered, but it was almost there.

Chu Zhongtian, on the other hand, appeared to be in good spirits. When he saw Lu Chen, he was overjoyed and rushed forward, yet hesitated to speak.

Lu Chen smiled, took out the Shadowless Gold Sword, and tossed it over, "Take a look at this sword, what do you think?"

Chu Zhongtian clumsily caught it, probed with his Spiritual Sense, and his expression changed instantly!

This was the Shadowless Sword, he recognized it.

But there was something different about it.

In other words, this was a... Peerless Shadowless Sword!

However, such an item had never shown any signs of recognizing a master before.

"Brother Lu Dao, where did you obtain this?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just keep it, and as for the matter with the Xuanyun Sect, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. However, if we do go to the Eastern Domain and happen to encounter the Nascent Souls of the Xuanyun Sect, try to keep a low profile."

After Xuan Jian settled the situation with the Xuanyun Sect, he would definitely go to the Eastern Domain as well. By then, Chu Zhongtian’s problems would not be an issue with Xuan Jian’s involvement.

Of course, if Lu Chen could successfully enter the depths of the Tianyuan Abyss, then that was not an issue at all.

"Brother Lu Dao, shall we set off now?"

Chu Zhongtian quickly put away the Shadowless Gold Sword.

"There’s no need to rush. A good preparation sharpens the axe and does not hinder the work of cutting wood. First, let the sword acknowledge you as its master while I check on Xiao Bai’s condition!"

"Okay!"

Chu Zhongtian immediately sat down to have the Shadowless Gold Sword recognize him, while Lu Chen went to check on the Xuanming Ice Snake’s condition.

Shortly after, he furrowed his brows.

The Xuanming Ice Snake was alive, no problem there.

But continuing its cultivation would be difficult.

The demon body was severely damaged. Even though he had been continuously channeling Water Spirit Power into it, the treatment was only a temporary fix, not a cure.

Lu Chen did not know where the issue lay, but he could see the consequences.

The Xuanming Ice Snake would never be able to break through to the Transformative Stage in this lifetime!

If this were the case, following him to the Eastern Domain would still be risky for the Xuanming Ice Snake, with no chance for opportunities.

Even if Lu Chen killed all the ancient mystical beasts and took all their demon pills for it to consume, it would ultimately be of no effect.

"Xiao Bai, do you understand the condition of your body?"

Lu Chen’s expression grew a shade darker; the Xuanming Ice Snake was in this state because it had taken the Shadowless Giant Sword’s blow for him, trying to delay the attack as long as possible.

"Hiss—"

The Xuanming Ice Snake nodded its head.

"To be honest," Lu Chen said solemnly, "I don’t know how to solve this problem for you. If you can’t continue to break through, you might be better off returning to the Haotian Secret Realm!"

"Hiss!"

At these words, the Xuanming Ice Snake became agitated, raising its head and hissing continuously!

"But Xiao Bai, this trip is too dangerous!"

Lu Chen looked up and said in all seriousness, "However, I can promise you that if I find a way in the future, I will come back to the Haotian Secret Realm to find you!"

The Xuanming Ice Snake paused, seeming deflated, and slumped its body down.

Its head, newly grown scales, pressed against the ground, staring blankly ahead.

Such a sentient demon beast naturally had a competitive spirit.

Especially this one, or else why would it stand out among its peers?

Keep in mind, when the mother snake died, it was under its command that all the young snakes absorbed the remaining Demon Qi from the mother snake’s body, thereby strengthening them considerably!

The mother snake?

The disheartened Xiao Bai suddenly raised its head again, its vertical pupils staring intently at the severed body of the mother snake!

Lu Chen, too, was surprised by its action. Following its gaze, he tensed up!

Could it be that the Xuanming Ice Snake was considering devouring the body of the mother snake?
