Chapter 315: Life Spring

"This is really a headache—"

Li Mochen thought to himself that if only his attainments in magic arrays could go a step further, he could try using these three hearts to forge a 'construct puppet'. No matter how formidable those three 'Pit Fiends' were, they couldn't pollute or erode a construct that had no intelligence to begin with.

At this thought, Li Mochen's mind stirred, and he thought to himself that he had been foolish. There was clearly a better way to use them—why hadn't he thought of it?

He soon left the Unicorn Apartment and arrived at the private gymnasium only a few dozen meters away. Then, in the largest magic practice room of the gymnasium, he began to draw a formation—not a magic array, but an immortal formation from the Primordial Vault Realm. This was a major project; Li Mochen spent several hours, not finishing until five o'clock the next morning.

Taking advantage of the pre-dawn darkness, when the night sky was still brilliant with stars, Li Mochen, the moment the formation was complete, switched to the 'Zhou Tian Yuan Chen Liang Yi Wu Xiang Jing' and activated the Divine Thunder Sect's immortal technique 'Nine Heavens Divine Descent'.

The name sounded lofty and grand, but it was actually a type of 'Summoning Deity Technique'. However, the Divine Thunder Sect had once received the legacy of several ancient great sects, and their inherited 'Nine Heavens Divine Descent' indeed had unique merits—it consumed less than ordinary 'Summoning Deity Techniques', lasted longer, and summoned more powerful deities.

This time, Li Mochen summoned the three sovereigns 'Ziwei', 'Nanji', and 'Gouchen', using these three 'hearts' as vessels for 'divine descent'.

The result was just as he had anticipated. As the three supremely noble, majestic, and infinitely powerful sovereign dharma images manifested before Li Mochen one after another, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the alien forces within the three energy crystals, along with the consciousness imprints of the three 'Pit Fiends', were forcibly expelled and eliminated.

However, during this process, the volume of the three crystals shrank by nearly half.

Though Li Mochen felt pained and regretful, he had no intention of stopping. Only when the three crystals had regained true 'purity' did he withdraw the divine descent technique, and with a satisfied expression, he applied seals to each of the three crystals one by one to slow their energy dissipation.

These items could help him summon the three sovereigns with Mahayana-level magical power, which, if energy loss was not considered, could be maintained for about three hours.

This was a very good trump card, greatly enhancing his survival capabilities.

After this, it was the turn of the three drops of 'Life Spring Water' provided by Lind Emerson.

Li Mochen changed locations, entering another training room nearby and sitting cross-legged. As he reached out his hand, a drop of blue crystalline liquid appeared in his palm.

Looking at this drop of liquid, a flush rose on Li Mochen's face, and a glimmer of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

The moment Lind Emerson had delivered this item to him, he knew it was a rare treasure that could heal his primordial spirit injuries. It not only contained various pure energies but also held within it a power close to 'Truth' and 'Origin'—in Eastern terms, it was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, nearly primordial.

This was undoubtedly a supreme treasure surpassing all heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the Primordial Vault Realm!

With this item, his divine soul could probably recover to the point of leaving the body and roaming the void. This meant many things: his sensory abilities could increase three to fivefold, he could use more powerful swords, more powerful spells, and more meticulous manipulation. The same amount of mana, the same spell, could unleash destructive power vastly different from before—in short, the benefits were too numerous to list.

If Li Mochen had been controlling Hazel's body in such a state, in last night's battle, he would never have let that Douglas Duncan so easily use 'Time Freeze' against him.

Moreover, the 'Life Spring Water' could greatly strengthen his physical body, even raising his physical limits—this was also something Li Mochen eagerly anticipated.

He was currently in the stage of body refinement, and these three drops of 'Life Spring Water' could not only shorten his stay at this level but also allow him to go further on the path of physical enhancement.

However, before formally swallowing this drop of liquid, Li Mochen picked up his mobile phone and made several calls—to the Rising Sun Company, the Rising Sun Publishing House, and several endorsement partners—mainly to inform all parties that he would be in seclusion and unreachable for the next two days, and that everything would have to wait until after that.

There was no help for it: these three drops of spring water were the highest grade of rare treasures. Even the 'Inquiring Sword Taoran' at his peak could not fully digest and absorb them in a short time. For him now, it would take as long as two days to gradually wear down the pure energies, bit by bit devouring and absorbing those powers close to 'Truth' and 'Origin'.

Fortunately, these days were Thanksgiving, with five to six days of vacation. He didn't have to worry about classes and could wholeheartedly use their power to restore his primordial spirit and strengthen his physical body.

...

At noon two days later, Li Mochen stood in the center of the gymnasium, feeling two different domains emanating from within his body.

These were what were called 'Dharma Domains', though that was just a translated term. In America, they were called 'Rule domains'. This was a power that only those at the Legendary level and above could possess, and after igniting divine fire, they would evolve into 'Divine Domains'.

However, some powerful deities could grant their 'Divine Domains' to believers for use, though the latter could not bear the full 'Divine Domain'. Except for some powerful 'Chosen Ones', they could usually only use the degraded 'Rule Domains'.

Then there were the offspring of deities or demigods: if they awakened their ancestral bloodline and their mana source met the standard, they could also obtain this power.

And now, the domains Li Mochen had mastered were the 'Ice' domain, the 'Flame' domain, and the 'Strength' domain.

Ice came from the Silent Dragon; Flame originated from the Titan 'Hyperion'. The latter gave birth to the sun god Helios, the moon goddess Selene, and the dawn goddess Eos, but the Wiltonshire family had only inherited the most insignificant part of his power.

As for the 'Strength' domain, it was shared by both. This was a very crude, easily mastered rule domain, yet its upper limit was astonishingly high.

"This kind of power... I really miss it—"

A look of nostalgia flickered in Li Mochen's eyes. When he was at the Mahayana stage, he had also possessed three 'Dharma Domains' that had evolved into the embryonic form of 'Divine Domains'. This allowed him to hold his own against Dugu Tianyi in their battle.

Unfortunately, his three domains all contained extremely high-level 'rule' powers, and this body lacked the corresponding foundation, so they could not yet be used or borne.

The 'Ice' domain and 'Flame' domain were not weak either, but since he had bloodline power as a foundation within his body, he could still use them. However, their effect was very low for now—they could only increase his combat power by about ninety percent. They could greatly enhance his strength, significantly boost all spells related to ice and flame, and also allow him to interfere with opponents through the domain's power.

Of course, when activating 'them', Li Mochen's mana consumption was also alarmingly high.

After awakening two bloodlines, his 'Mana Source' was already very vast, and those three drops of 'Life Spring Water' had further greatly increased his magical power. Yet even so, Li Mochen felt he could not hold out for more than an hour and a half. After an hour and a half, he would be completely drained.
