Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

“Use the arrow in your hand to exchange for this Dao Rhyme Stone,” Lu Chen said bluntly, while raising the Dao Rhyme Stone in his hand and shaking it, deliberately tempting Fang Xinyi.

Hearing this, Fang Xinyi's face turned even more unpleasant. "Do you know what a treasure those arrows are? We went through so much trouble to get them, it's already fair that each of us gets one. Why do you insist on keeping them all to yourself? Isn't that a bit too domineering!"

Lu Chen's smile faded, and his tone became serious. "Of course I know that is the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow, the supreme magic weapon that Yi the Great used to shoot down the suns."

"I didn't expect you to know that," Fang Xinyi interjected in surprise.

"Don't be in a hurry. The reason I asked you for the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow is because I have the Sun Chasing Sacred Bow. As long as you give me the Sun Chasing Sacred Arrow, I will give you this Dao Rhyme Stone. In addition, I can also help you upgrade your magic weapon. Otherwise, where will you find a Saint-level weapon refiner?" Lu Chen continued to add.

"What? You're a Saint-level weapon refiner? How is that possible?" Fang Xinyi looked at Lu Chen in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible. I can only say that I have a special talent and I learn everything quickly." After saying that, Lu Chen looked at the other person calmly.

Fang Xinyi bit her lip, struggling internally. She knew that Lu Chen's words made some sense; she did indeed need to find a Saint-level artifact master. Rather than running around everywhere and not necessarily finding one, and even if she did, the master might not agree to her request, she might as well do Lu Chen a favor.

“Alright then,” Fang Xinyi finally spoke, her voice clearly reluctant, “but you have to promise to use this Daoist Stone to enhance my magic weapon.”

Lu Chen nodded, a relieved smile appearing on his face. "Don't worry, you can absolutely trust my character."

As she spoke, Fang Xinyi took out a Sun-Chasing Holy Arrow from her storage ring, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Lu Chen.

As Lu Chen caught the arrow, he tossed a Daoist stone to Fang Xinyi. His mood instantly improved; even if he didn't find the two treasures, the trip would still be worthwhile.

After getting what he wanted, Lu Chen began to study the bottom of the lake. With the Chaos Dao Life Technique, he had no worries about not finding the two treasures, which was Lu Chen's greatest confidence.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen squatted down and placed his palms on the ground at the bottom of the lake, then slowly closed his eyes.

Then, he took a deep breath, and the power of the Chaos Dao Life Technique within his body began to circulate, penetrating into every corner of the lake bottom through his palms.

It felt as if he were using his own consciousness to touch and perceive every inch of this body of water.

The Chaos Dao Life Technique is not only a heaven-defying cultivation method, but it also possesses powerful analytical capabilities, allowing one to see through appearances to the essence of things.

The next second, an image suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's mind. It was a huge bronze mirror, ancient and solemn, with complex runes and patterns engraved on its surface.

What is particularly eye-catching is that a long red ribbon wraps around the bronze mirror, radiating mysterious runes that seem to be alive, moving around the mirror and releasing a faint light.

"Just as Fang Xinyi said, these must be the legendary Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror and the Chaos Ribbon," Lu Chen thought to himself with delight.

Fang Xinyi watched Lu Chen from the side, only to see him supporting himself on his hands, leaning slightly forward, his movements quite strange. She couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering what Lu Chen was doing.

Out of curiosity, she moved closer and whispered, "Lu Chen, what are you doing? You look so strange."

However, Lu Chen, immersed in his own world of perception, did not immediately respond to her question. All his attention was focused on the image that appeared in his mind, trying to find the exact way to obtain the two magical treasures.

At this moment, Lu Chen immediately snapped out of his daze upon hearing Fang Xinyi's voice.

However, just as Lu Chen was about to answer, a figure suddenly plummeted from above, bringing with it a rapid surge of water.

He was a young man with a resolute and handsome face, and an air of untamed spirit between his brows. He wore a golden crown to tie his hair up and was clad in fiery red armor, looking heroic and spirited.

However, the man's face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. Blood kept flowing from his wounds, staining his armor red. He had obviously been seriously injured while fleeing.

Immediately afterward, three more figures followed closely behind, clearly pursuing the young man. All three exuded a menacing aura, their eyes revealing a cold and ruthless nature.

Lu Chen was startled, not expecting this sudden change to shatter the tranquility of the lakebed.

What surprised him even more was that he recognized the three of them—Gu Tingyuan, Ding Yiyan, and Mu Pingzhi, whom he had met a month ago in the rocky area.

At the time, considering that Gu Tingyuan might be a member of the Gu family, Lu Chen did not choose to travel with them due to various concerns.

Now, these guys have actually appeared in the Black Lake, which really surprised Lu Chen.

His gaze swept around the room gravely, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that if he intervened now, he would not only offend Gu Tingyuan and the others, but he might also be dragged into an unnecessary conflict. However, seeing that the man's injuries were severe, his life might be in danger if he didn't receive immediate help.

"Save him first!" Lu Chen finally made his decision. He moved swiftly, rushing towards the seriously injured man like lightning.

They quickly rescued him and gave him a healing pill.

The young man looked at Lu Chen gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist. You should leave quickly. The three of them are all experts at the Dao Integration Realm. You are no match for them."

Seeing that the young man still had some conscience, Lu Chen's goodwill towards him increased. "You recover from your injuries first, and leave the rest to us."

At the same time, Gu Tingyuan and the other two also recognized Lu Chen. They exchanged glances, equally surprised to run into Lu Chen here.

Then, Gu Tingyuan cupped his hands and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Li, how have you been? I didn't expect we would meet again so soon."

"You're too kind, Fellow Daoist Gu. We are truly destined to meet. May I ask why you are pursuing this person? Could you do me the honor of letting him pass?" Lu Chen said, feigning surprise and delight.

"This..." Just as Gu Tingyuan was about to say something, his expression changed visibly.

Lu Chen immediately guessed that he must have received a telepathic message from his companion. Gu Tingyuan immediately formed a hand seal, his eyes flashing with golden light, and then looked around.

Gu Tingyuan had naturally heard the legend of Black Lake and knew that Black Lake was formed from two acquired sacred artifacts. Because no one had been able to refine these two treasures, and Black Lake was extremely rare, the two treasures had always remained within Black Lake.

He hadn't expected that their pursuit of a suspicious cultivator would lead them to Black Lake by sheer coincidence. After some investigation, Gu Tingyuan indeed noticed something amiss…
