Hearing this, Chu Ran, standing in front of Su Chen, explained, "I also asked Han Xingliu about this, and he said it's just black."
"Tsk..." Su Chen weighed it in his hand, and Chu Ran added, "My grandfather has already confird that this stuff is indeed the Marrow of the Morning Star. It's probably because of the characteristics of the person it was extracted from that the blood is black."
Through the glass, the Status Panel gave no prompt either. Su Chen had a weird expression.
"Could it be that it was extracted from the slumbering Prison Suppressing King?"
Chu Ran grinned. "I guessed the sa thing. The Royal Court originally only has five Morning Star Tiers. The Black Tortoise King is too old; drawing a tube might kill him. The other Morning Star Tiers likely aren't willing to damage themselves, so only the Prison Suppressing King can be freely squandered."
"Making the best use of everything," Su Chen sighed with emotion and put away the Marrow of the Morning Star. "Thanks for the trouble."
Because of Qin Tianlin's death, anyone who wanted to get close to a Star Seed like him had to undergo strict screening. They certainly wouldn't let people from the Royal Court deliver it.
"It's just a small matter." Chu Ran waved his hand, glancing left and right like a thief with a guilty conscience, and asked in a low voice, "I heard you were at the scene when Qin Tianlin died. What exactly happened?"
Chu Ran had been scratching his head for the past two days. Various pieces of news were flying everywhere, and he didn't know what was true and what was false. Even his grandfather hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"Nothing much. It ended before I could even blink, so I didn't see anything," Su Chen shook his head.
"Is that so?" Chu Ran couldn't help but feel disappointed and sighed. "Even though I didn't get along with Qin Tianlin, his sudden death is quite abrupt. If Old Wei were here, he might be a little happier."
The two chatted idly for a few sentences before Chu Ran took his leave.
"The items are gathered..." Su Chen's eyes flickered, muttering to himself, "I'll wait two more days. If I tamorphose into the Divine Dawn Grade the mont I get the Marrow of the Morning Star, people might deduce sothing amiss afterward. I don't know the exact situation of the Royal Court's research over there. If they use this to break through their research bottleneck, that wouldn't be good."
Although these two items were requirents of The Unsullied, Su Chen believed it wasn't smoke without fire. The Marrow of the Morning Star might play a crucial role in the process of postnatally tamorphosing into the Divine Dawn Grade.
He certainly didn't want to "arm the enemy".
After Qin Tianlin's death, it wasn't until the fifth day that the arena reopened.
"Brother Luo is quite quick to respond. The arena just opened, and here you are."
Standing at the arena entrance, Shen Jiqing saw Luo Chen striding over and greeted him.
Luo Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, "Although Qin Tianlin's death is regrettable, it adds a bit of mystery. Since he could be targeted by Black Buddha, he must have had so extraordinary traits."
"Perhaps it won't be long before this person is removed from the Leaderboard, so naturally I have to co and see."
"Yes, what a pity." Although Shen Jiqing said this, there was an unavoidable trace of gloating in his eyes.
Among the Five Great Sects, the Royal Court sat high above, occupying the vast majority of resources in the Dust Star Sea, which had long provoked dissatisfaction among the middle and lower tiers.
Usually, no one dared to say anything, but seeing misfortune befall them now, they were quite happy to witness it.
Luo Chen shook his head secretly and walked straight into the arena. Behind him, he could faintly hear the sound of Shen Jiqing greeting several others.
'With such a narrow mind, to think this kind of person could actually undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession,' Luo Chen criticized inwardly. He picked an empty room at random and entered. His chosen target was naturally Qin Tianlin.
Boom! Boom!
Dull thuds echoed continuously, and a dense energy storm exploded in the center. Luo Chen raised his hand to block the incoming Projection, able to clearly see every exploding Dark Gold Pattern on the opponent's fists.
His skin was dark gold, as if cast from molten bronze juice. This brought a surprised expression to Luo Chen's eyes: "This seems to be the Indestructible Vajra. He could undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier?"
As expected of the Bronze Sect, they actually grasped the ability to undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier. Was it related to the Fortune Bronze Core?
The attacks from Qin Tianlin's Projection were heavy and powerful, but deep within Luo Chen's pupils, overlapping golden rings condensed. The mont Qin Tianlin attacked, he could find the flaws and even the weak points.
Doing with ease, after a short mont of tangling, his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly. Having this kind of strength at the 6th-Tier and being able to defeat He Muyang was indeed extrely terrifying. But it didn't seem worthy of a Great Eldritch God like Black Buddha personally taking action, right?
Or rather, did this person have sothing he couldn't see through?
A mont later, Luo Chen had already sensed that Qin Tianlin had no further changes; his strength stopped here.
"This is the limit..." He declared loudly, "Concede."
In an instant, the Projection about to strike his face dissipated.
"Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier. This was Qin Tianlin's capital to defeat He Muyang. Su Chen is probably similar, though his overall strength should be slightly stronger than this Qin Tianlin."
Luo Chen thought to himself, unable to help but sigh. Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier... The foundation of these great Sects was too terrifying, far exceeding other factions.
Having roughly estimated Su Chen's strength, his interest waned a bit.
However, since he was already here, he naturally had to take a look.
"Challenge target confird: Star Seed Su Chen..."
Su Chen's Projection gradually materialized before him. Luo Chen was still sighing with emotion. The Ancient King inheritance of the Five Great Sects was endless. Even if there was only one or two Morning Star Tiers in a certain era, with the Ancient King present, they would still stand tall above the Dust Star Sea.
The Ultimate Path Alliance only had one Morning Star Tier, and he wasn't even a Star Seed. His future achievents could only stop at the Dual Ninth-Rank. With his diligence, he might be able to contend with slightly weaker Morning Star Tiers.
But if he encountered a Divine Radiance Tier Star-Seed like Sheng Huaixu, he couldn't possibly be a match. Luo Chen felt a faint sense of sorrow.
And now, the Bronze Sect could undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier, making their mbers' foundation even more profound and harder to catch up to.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Luo Chen's expression drastically changed. His pupils contracted violently, and his heart felt as if gripped by an invisible hand. Looking up, he only caught a blood-gold afterimage carrying a violent aura.
The speed was incredible, yet there was no wind flowing at all. It seed as if with just a lift of the foot, he arrived before him. A fist like startling thunder smashed toward his face, and a scorching heat that felt like it sucked the air dry pressed in from the front.
"How can he surpass Qin Tianlin by so much?" Luo Chen was shocked pale. Using Qin Tianlin as a template to estimate, he had thought he could handle it doing with ease, but Su Chen gave him a huge surprise right off the bat.
Luo Chen responded hastily, raising his arm to block. Su Chen's fist, carrying a dull explosive sound, crashed against his arm bone. A massive, overwhelming Great Strength poured in, sending him flying straight away.
"This Su Chen..." Luo Chen's expression beca incredibly solemn. The golden rings in his pupils flowed; this was his Holy Class, which could observe the enemy's movents, the trajectories of energy flow, and their weak points.
But this ti, when his gaze fell on Su Chen, a sense of the unimaginable surfaced, and he exclaid in horror: "No weak points? How is that possible!"
In his eyes, the current Su Chen was like an incredibly solid block of iron. No matter how he attacked or where he attacked from, he couldn't cause any damage to him.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Luo Chen was muttering to himself, his scalp tingling. Su Chen was more than just a bit stronger than Qin Tianlin; he was completely not weaker than him with his Holy Class activated, yet the other party was a whole major Tier behind him!
"What's so urgent that you called here?" Qing Cang erged from the flight vehicle, imdiately spotting Su Chen waiting at the Port.
"I was just preparing to head to the Floating Island where Excellency Lu Huai is located," Su Chen explained.
"Oh? The last person who can use the Profound Heaven Instrunt has finally arrived. The Royal Court has been rushing us for days, and Lu Huai is getting a bit impatient." Qing Cang suddenly understood, but was still puzzled:
"What does this have to do with ? I've already greeted him. You could have just sent the person over directly."
Su Chen chuckled, "Isn't this because I'm afraid of so accident?"
"Lu Huai is still trustworthy." Seeing Su Chen's cautious deanor, Qing Cang felt sowhat speechless.
"Caution keeps the ship sailing," Su Chen repeated his motto.
Since Qing Cang was already here, he didn't say much more and nodded: "Then let's go."
Su Chen followed Qing Cang onto the flight vehicle, waited a mont, and seeing Qing Cang not moving, couldn't help but urge, "Isn't Senior Brother departing?"
"I'm departing right now. Where is your person?" Qing Cang raised an eyebrow.
Su Chen chuckled, "That person is ."
"You?" Qing Cang was stunned, asking as if to confirm, "The guy who is finally going to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt... is you?"
"Yes."
An indescribable expression appeared on Qing Cang's face, suddenly recalling, "Two days ago, you said you wanted to try using this Profound Heaven Instrunt to see if you could elevate to the Divine Dawn Grade... you weren't joking?"
Su Chen nodded subtly.
"Wait, wasn't this quota set several months ago? You had this thought several months ago? Have you been obsessing over that Spirit of the Vast Sun all this ti..."
The more Qing Cang traced things back, the more he felt sothing was off, and he couldn't help laughing, "I really thought you didn't care about the Spirit of the Vast Sun at all."
He calculated the ti. The ti Su Chen ntioned this quota to him was indeed after the news of the Spirit of the Vast Sun appeared.
"You could say that," Su Chen didn't explain much.
Qing Cang chuckled twice. Su Chen's previous nonchalant act was the weird part; it wasn't weird now. That was the Spirit of the Vast Sun, after all.
"However, this Profound Heaven Instrunt cannot elevate Star-Amber Talent to the Divine Dawn Grade." Qing Cang shook his head. It wasn't as if no one had the sa idea as Su Chen before, wanting to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt to upgrade.
In fact, the ones who attempted this the most were from the Profound Heaven Sect, and none had yielded any results.
"Is there a possibility? It doesn't hurt to try anyway. There's no downside," Su Chen shrugged.
"Indeed, no downside." Qing Cang chuckled and shook his head. Since things had co to this, if he didn't let Su Chen try, this kid would definitely be unhappy.
The flight vehicle cabin closed and headed toward a nearby Floating Island.
"You hid it quite well, and even sched against the Royal Court using this." Qing Cang was quite emotional. "Otherwise, that Marrow of the Morning Star would have been held tightly by the Royal Court for a long ti."
"An unintentional willow," Su Chen explained. "I really didn't think that much at the ti."
Qing Cang nodded, then suddenly frowned, asking hesitantly, "Then you calling to go together with you... couldn't be because you're afraid that in the one in ten thousand chance you elevate to the Divine Dawn Grade, Lu Huai might harbor ill intentions towards you?"
Even if the user was Su Chen, it didn't explain why he had to call him along. After thinking it over, this seed to be the only possibility.
"That's right," Su Chen said as if it were a matter of course. "What if I really elevate to the Divine Dawn Grade, and Lu Huai's brain suddenly short-circuits and he decides to trade pieces with ? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Trade pieces? What are you thinking about all day in that head of yours?" Qing Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This wasn't a one in ten thousand chance; it was a one in a hundred million chance.
The distance between the two Floating Islands wasn't far. Swaying slightly, they arrived at their destination in just a short while.
After getting off the flight vehicle and waiting at the Port for a mont, they saw Lu Huai co out of the Main Building.
"Qing Cang, you're finally here. The Royal Court over there is driving crazy with their urging, just waiting for this last person of yours." Approaching, his gaze swept behind Qing Cang, discovering that the one who ca along was actually Su Chen.
Lu Huai paused, his expression darkening slightly with so dissatisfaction: "Didn't they say the Royal Court already gave you the Marrow of the Morning Star? Why delay further? I don't care about your business with the Royal Court, but you can't keep detained here forever."
"Who is detaining you?" Qing Cang wasn't annoyed, offering a half-smile. "The last person to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt has already arrived."
"Where..." Halfway through his sentence, Lu Huai's expression stiffened. His gaze landed on Su Chen, and he hesitated: "The one you said wants to use the Profound Heaven Instrunt... is this kid?"
Su Chen nodded, "Sorry for the trouble, Your Excellency."
Lu Huai's expression turned weird: "What do you guys an?"
"We don't an anything. Just trying to see if we can elevate Star-Amber Grade to Divine Dawn Grade." Qing Cang was concise.
"Hah." Lu Huai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Using the Profound Heaven Instrunt to elevate Star-Amber to Divine Dawn... if it had this ability, would this thing have been allowed to be brought out by ?"
"It doesn't hurt to try," Qing Cang imitated Su Chen's tone.
Lu Huai had words caught in his throat, and his gaze fell on Su Chen again.
The Bronze Sect had many Star-Amber Grade Talent possessors, yet only Su Chen ca to try. This probably wasn't the Bronze Sect's idea; it was roughly this kid himself who wanted to attempt it.
That made sense. Having only interacted with the Dust Star Sea for two or three years, he probably didn't fully understand the chasm between Star-Amber and Divine Dawn, and still harbored hope.
He was incredibly clear on the functions and limits of the Profound Heaven Instrunt. Since Su Chen had this idea, advising him too much would make it seem like he was resisting.
Lu Huai didn't say much more, directly pulling out the Profound Heaven Instrunt: "Since that's the case, then go in and try."
Su Chen's gaze narrowed. He took a step forward and felt the world spin. The scene before him shifted, and he arrived in a profound black space. Streaking light swirled around, with no light and no boundaries.
There were only countless streaks of light, like silver scales drifting in the void. Sotis they darted like swimming fish, sotis they circled like star tracks. So rushed toward him, carrying a cool, tingling sensation as they brushed past his skin, but retreated upon touch, seemingly uninterested in him.
The Status Panel imdiately reacted—
【The Unsullied has detected the Host is within the Profound Heaven Instrunt. The Marrow of the Morning Star has rged into the body; the Heart of Spiritual Light has rged into the body. The Profound Heaven Reshaping thod is currently taking effect...】
In an instant, Su Chen felt his body tremble slightly. A surge of heat welled up from sowhere within his body, instantly spreading all over.
And the surrounding silver scale light dots all stalled uniformly. Like sharks slling blood, they scrambled to rush over, sinking into his body.
Su Chen waited with bated breath. The intense pain he expected didn't occur. A tingling sensation seeped from his skin into his body, as if countless tiny hands were massaging his cells and muscles. It was so comfortable he almost moaned out loud.
"Elevating talent sure feels good..." Su Chen sighed inwardly, quietly waiting for his body's modification to complete.
"You didn't tell him?" Seeing Su Chen disappear, Lu Huai finally looked at Qing Cang.
"If people believed it just by being told, the Dust Star Sea wouldn't be like this today." Qing Cang glanced at him.
"That's true... ultimately, one must experience it themselves to understand." Lu Huai nodded, asking with a bit of probing, "I heard your Bronze Sect has grasped the thod to undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier?"
The arena had reopened, and imdiately many people attempted to challenge Qin Tianlin, as well as Su Chen.
The most surprising discovery was that both seed to have undergone the Molten Casting Sacred Profession. Lu Huai naturally learned of this news as well.
"For a non-Morning Star Tier to undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession, if there isn't a Specialized Class of the 7th-Tier or above in the sequence as support, it's very difficult to succeed. How did you guys solve this problem?"
Qing Cang said lightly, "Take a guess."
"Fine..." Lu Huai hadn't expected Qing Cang to actually tell him, rely sighing, "Your Bronze Sect is truly resilient. You endured the crisis of the extinguished Starfire, and a return to the peak is imminent."
Qing Cang kept a stoic silence. Grasp a fart.
The reason Qin Tianlin could undergo the Molten Casting Sacred Profession was highly likely related to that Spirit of the Vast Sun, but how Su Chen did it, he had no idea.
Seeing Qing Cang not speaking, Lu Huai changed the subject: "After Su Chen cos out, I'll be heading to the Royal Court."
"Mm," Qing Cang nodded.
"No other business?" Lu Huai asked again.
"What do you an?" Qing Cang was puzzled.
"You don't have any other business with ?" Lu Huai raised an eyebrow, pointing back and to the side. "You couldn't have co just to deliver Su Chen, right? Isn't he just on that Floating Island?"
"That's right," Qing Cang also felt sowhat helpless.
Lu Huai was speechless and sowhat dissatisfied: "You still suspect I would do sothing to your Star Seed?"
"Under normal circumstances, probably not." Qing Cang shook his head.
"There are abnormal circumstances?" Lu Huai almost laughed in anger. "You can't possibly be afraid that in the one in ten thousand chance Su Chen really tamorphoses to the Divine Dawn Grade, I would do sothing, right?"
Lu Huai was ant to tease, but seeing Qing Cang looking sowhat embarrassed, he was instantly shocked: "You actually have this thought?"
"Hah..." Qing Cang gave two dry laughs. This was indeed hard to explain.
Lu Huai was speechless and mocked, "It's one thing for the kid to have flights of fancy, but you, an old guy, are joining in the fun. If the Profound Heaven Instrunt could elevate to the Divine Dawn Grade, I'd..."
Before he finished speaking, the Profound Heaven Instrunt held in Lu Huai's hand suddenly trembled violently, buzzing incessantly.
"Hmm?" Lu Huai's eyelids twitched, seeming puzzled. "What's going on here?"
Qing Cang also looked over subconsciously, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?"
Buzz—
The trembling of the Profound Heaven Instrunt grew more and more violent. Lu Huai even found it sowhat difficult to control and had to press down on it with both hands.
"What's happening?" Lu Huai frowned tightly. "This situation has never happened before..."
He couldn't help but feel sowhat nervous in his heart. This was Su Chen, after all. If sothing really happened to him in his hands, he'd probably find it hard to leave the Bronze Sect.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." He looked up at Qing Cang intending to comfort him, only to see Qing Cang frowning tightly, carrying a trace of imperceptible anticipation, and asking hesitantly, "It has never happened before?"
"Right, never before..." Lu Huai responded subconsciously, eting Qing Cang's eyes, which were glowing with a sharp gleam.
Then, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
Suddenly, the Profound Heaven Instrunt stalled. The two looked down subconsciously, only to see a pale white radiance bloom, shooting into the sky like a white rainbow piercing the sun. It was like the light of a newly risen star, and like spilling moonlight, translucent yet dazzling.
"Divine Dawn!?"
Lu Huai felt as if a startling thunder had smashed into his brain. He was stunned.
