Chapter 1698: Chapter 624: The So-Called Nascent Soul Domain, News of the Purple Monkey Flower Arrives

Han Zhan was contemplating letting Luo Chen scout ahead for him, to explore the powers of the Yin-Yang Liu Jia Array.

Unexpectedly, it was Luo Chen who sought him out first.

"Domain?"

Inside the cave mansion, Han Zhan stared at Luo Chen, who was earnestly seeking guidance, momentarily taken aback.

"You’re only at the Golden Core Stage right now, why are you already thinking about Domains?"

Luo Chen smiled freely, "I’m merely curious. I thought that if I could master Domain techniques during the Golden Core Stage, it might become my greatest weapon."

Han Zhan frowned, "From what I’ve seen so far, the defensive techniques you’ve already mastered far surpass those of ordinary Golden Core cultivators. Are you not satisfied, still demanding more? Aren’t you afraid of hindering your cultivation?"

Indeed, the variety of techniques Luo Chen had mastered was astonishingly abundant.

Techniques, illusion arts, and body techniques—he was without weakness.

As for his magical items, though he lacked an unrivaled offensive treasure, he still possessed the Top Grade Primordial Cauldron, which was exceedingly versatile.

Once his defensive treasure was successfully refined, he could stride unhindered across the Golden Core Stage with little contest.

And yet, he still remained unsatisfied, aspiring to learn methods from higher realms. It did seem to be a case of losing sight of the fundamentals.

Luo Chen shrugged.

"It’s always good to understand a thing or two. Besides, it’s not that I insist on learning it; I’m just gathering knowledge. Should I face a Nascent Soul enemy in the future, I’d at least have some countermeasures ready."

"You’re overthinking."

Han Zhan snorted lightly, "The so-called Nascent Soul Domain entails control over the Heaven and Earth Qi itself, granting absolute suppression over lower-order cultivators. Even if you understand its workings, you wouldn’t be able to counteract it."

Luo Chen was puzzled and questioned further.

Seeing his unrelenting curiosity, Han Zhan finally decided to explain what Nascent Soul Domain truly was.

"Golden Core cultivators naturally suppress Foundation Establishment cultivators because Qi Power is a higher-tier progression of Spirit Power."

"When a cultivator advances to the Nascent Soul Stage, breaking their core to form a soul, the newly born Nascent Soul undergoes a baptism of Heaven and Earth Qi, which makes it innately attuned to the natural world. This grants them control over the Heaven and Earth Qi within a certain range corresponding to their attributes."

"When that control is unleashed entirely, it forms what we call a Nascent Soul Domain."

"Within this Domain, only the Nascent Soul cultivator’s Qi Power and the external Heaven and Earth Qi of matching attributes can exist. All lower-level cultivators will simultaneously suffer suppression from both the Nascent Soul True Master and the heavens themselves. Life and death will be entirely at the Master’s discretion."

"You, without a Nascent Soul, cannot resonate with external Heaven and Earth Qi of matching attributes, so how could you establish a Domain?"

Ah, so that’s how it was!

Under Han Zhan’s in-depth explanation, Luo Chen finally understood what a Nascent Soul Domain was.

He also realized why only True Masters could contend with True Masters!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, examples of defeating enemies across realms were numerous, but most pertained to crossing minor stages. Cases of defeating someone across major realms were exceedingly rare.

And among those rare cases, there were no examples of Golden Core cultivators killing Nascent Soul cultivators. Just escaping with their lives would already be celebrated far and wide.

Domain—that was a suppression far beyond Spirit Pressure!

But Luo Chen still had doubts.

He brought up the phenomenon he observed recently while learning the Water-Fire Dual Polarity Formation, where Heaven and Earth Qi was drawn in.

Han Zhan chuckled, "Powerful arrays inherently draw in and manipulate Heaven and Earth Qi to fuel their mechanisms, as many such arrays were insights derived by predecessors from the overarching trends of Heaven and Earth. That’s tied to the array, not the individual."

Luo Chen shook his head, "No, I’ve seen a Soul Refining Lineage cultivator from the Yuan Mo Sect personally exhibit a kind of Domain. That person was only at the early Golden Core Stage but could resist me and another early Golden Core cultivator simultaneously using that Domain."

This time, Han Zhan was genuinely shocked.

He immediately pressed for detailed information about that battle.

After hearing Luo Chen’s elaboration, Han Zhan fell into contemplation.

After a long pause, Han Zhan finally muttered, "Perhaps this is the foundation of a Divine Transformation Holy Land, allowing a Golden Core cultivator to control a pseudo-domain similar to Nascent Soul Domains."

"Is it possible for me?"

"You..."

Han Zhan hesitated, then carefully analyzed, "If what you’ve said is accurate, then that Yuan Mo remnant clearly used an array, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and an extraordinary Ghost King—a being neither fully human nor beast—to construct the pseudo-domain."

"But I have my own Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and the souls within are no weaker than what that person had. Moreover, I’ve learned his Soul Fusion Secret Technique!"

"Yet you lack a matching array!"

"What about the Two Forms Array?"

"Your Two Forms Array embodies the concept of water and fire and requires the Black King’s assistance. Clearly, you struggle significantly when controlling it. Back in the day, my Two Forms Array embodied the concept of life and death, relying on a Nascent Soul Stage Puppet I had refined, which allowed seamless control."

"So what you’re saying is that it requires power fully belonging to oneself?"

"Yes. My guess is the Yuan Mo remnant’s bizarre Ghost King was likely a product of his Soul Splitting Technique, which allowed him to wield the pseudo-domain."

"Soul Splitting..."

At this juncture, Luo Chen truly found himself stumped.

The Soul Splitting Technique was a genuine Immortal Clan method, inaccessible to anyone outside Great Sects or Nascent Soul True Masters.

Even more, it required mastery in the Divine Soul path to successfully split one’s soul.

Though Luo Chen prided himself on the strength of his Divine Soul, he wouldn’t dare attempt soul division lightly.

Thinking of soul division, he instinctively turned his gaze toward Han Zhan.

Within the Luo Yun Sect, one of the Three Skills and Two Techniques was the "Soul Cleaving Technique!"

"Don’t even think about it! That’s the Sect’s core inherited cultivation technique. It’s not something to be compared with the Art of Origin Core or the Bead Curtain Lock; you can’t even dream of obtaining it!"

With just a glance, Han Zhan immediately understood what was on Luo Chen’s mind.

Having been acquaintances for so many years, Han Zhan could predict Luo Chen’s intentions just by the way he shifted his posture.

And so, before Luo Chen’s thoughts could wander further, Han Zhan quashed his idea outright.
