After saying this, most of Ren Lao's body had already dissipated, and all that remained in Chen Zhou's eyes was Ren Lao's shoulder.
Chen Zhou could only watch helplessly as Ren Lao's body became illusory and eventually disappeared into specks of light, while he could do nothing for Ren Lao.
"Don't be sad... You are the leader now..." Ren Lao said weakly, and his whole body became illusory, turning into light and shadow and disappearing. As soon as Ren Lao disappeared, the reclining chair beneath him also completely vanished.
As soon as Ren Lao disappeared, Chen Zhou clearly felt a powerful aura suddenly vanish from his storage ring. He immediately probed his storage ring with a wisp of true energy and discovered that the Heavy Edge Sword was completely shattered.
The Heavy Edge Sword is no longer the imposing weapon it once was. Its entire blade is riddled with broken pieces and wounds, rendering its once sharp edge jagged and uneven. Now, the Heavy Edge Sword is like a piece of scrap metal in his storage ring; even if Chen Zhou wanted to use it, it would be difficult to put it to any use.
Chen Zhou never expected that the Soul Weapon Heavy Edge Sword, which had been with him for so long, would be destroyed at this moment with the disappearance of Elder Ren. Just think, Chen Zhou hadn't even used the Heavy Edge Sword that many times!
Moreover, Chen Zhou had never even unleashed the true power of the Heavy Edge Sword. The power of the Soul Weapon was definitely not limited to this. Originally, Chen Zhou had just advanced to the Enlightenment stage and was able to unleash the true power of the Heavy Edge Sword even more, but the Heavy Edge Sword suddenly left him.
Now Chen Zhou's swordsmanship has suddenly become useless. Although the Heavy Edge Sword can still be used as a sword, its power has been greatly reduced. In addition, Chen Zhou's swordsmanship was only half-baked to begin with, and now that the Heavy Edge Sword has suddenly become unusable, Chen Zhou's swordsmanship has suddenly lost its stage.
As soon as Ren Lao left, Chen Zhou's mental world immediately felt empty. Only now did Chen Zhou suddenly realize that he seemed very lonely. With Ren Lao gone, he didn't even have anyone to bicker with anymore.
In addition, the cave was unusually quiet, which made Chen Zhou feel a little uncomfortable.
"I've learned the Red Pine Master's Guiding Technique, but I still need to practice it more. Next, let's learn formations!" Chen Zhou said slowly. The Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Formation Diagram had indeed pushed a new formation to him.
Chen Zhou secretly planned that once he learned this formation, he would set off to leave. The Chisongzi Guiding Technique had indeed provided Chen Zhou with an option.
The option is that one can use the power of the Red Pine Master's guiding technique to force the poisonous true energy in the old man's body into one's own meridians and through one's own body, so that the poisonous true energy can completely leave the old man's body.
Once the highly toxic energy leaves the elderly person's body, it will begin to dissipate, just like in previous cases. Then the detoxification will be complete.
Now Chen Zhou realized how simple the antidote was; it was just that the three sects of Wolong weren't Taoist. If he had encountered a Taoist, it would have been very easy to detoxify this potent poison. However, Taoists typically didn't concern themselves with such matters, as they lived in one place year-round. Chen Zhou didn't know much about these things; he only learned about Taoism from Elder Ren.
Chisongzi's Guiding Exercises are also a Taoist practice, and most Taoist practices are like this. Qi (vital energy) is originally a power used only during the Qi Refining stage, and it is inherently very weak. However, in the eyes of Taoists, qi is far more important than true qi; they can do many things based on qi.
They are also the only people on this continent who can use their aura to defeat true qi.
This led people to pay attention to the aura of the Qi Refining stage, and some even spread rumors that the strength of a Taoist Qi Refining stage cultivator was comparable to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
It's not that the aura of someone in the Qi Refining stage is particularly powerful, but rather that the Taoist mastery of aura has reached its pinnacle. It can be described as transcendent.
The next formation that the Wind and Cloud Dragon Roar Divine Formation Diagram gave to Chen Zhou was not a new formation, but a complete version of the Dragon Roar Formation.
The Dragon Roar Formation that Chen Zhou had learned before was not the complete version. Only now did Chen Zhou realize that the version he had learned before was far inferior to the complete version of the Dragon Roar Formation in his mind in every aspect. It looked like a simplified version of the Dragon Roar Formation.
Chen Zhou was feeling very down. He didn't know if he was in the mood to learn formations, but he forced himself to learn because his time was very limited.
So Chen Zhou started learning directly. He thought that since he had learned the simple version of the Dragon Roar Formation, learning the complete version would only require adding more elements to it. But that was not the case.
Chen Zhou needs to focus more on learning the formation, and he must ensure that he is truly dedicated to his studies. He cannot guarantee either of these things right now. This is because Chen Zhou always feels that something is missing in his spiritual world; he is unable to concentrate his full attention, which is why he is struggling to learn the formation.
Chen Zhou, with the same stubborn determination he had shown before, tried again and again, training repeatedly, but he still couldn't master the Dragon Roar Formation. In Chen Zhou's opinion, the Dragon Roar Formation wasn't particularly complex; compared to the Divine Tree Protection Formation and the mysterious man's formation, this formation wasn't very complicated. But no matter what, Chen Zhou just couldn't learn it.
Chen Zhou is in very poor condition right now.
"It seems I can't learn it now. Is the Dragon Roar Formation really that difficult?" Chen Zhou muttered subconsciously. Although he realized it was his own problem, he still subconsciously said that the Dragon Roar Formation was really difficult.
With that, Chen Zhou walked directly out of the cave.
Since he couldn't calm down, he should go for a walk. Chen Zhou was still unable to let go of his worries, which was very detrimental to his cultivation. Therefore, Chen Zhou had to recover from this state as quickly as possible.
"Then let's go for a walk," Chen Zhou said slowly, and then walked out of the cave.
"Bang...."
As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Chen Zhou was once again soaked by the waterfall. This time, the drenching made Chen Zhou feel refreshed, especially his mind, which seemed to clear up a lot. Upon realizing this, Chen Zhou immediately felt very comfortable. So, after leaving the cave, Chen Zhou immediately jumped into the river at his feet without saying a word.
"Bang bang bang..."
Chen Zhou immediately withdrew all the true energy from his body, thus preventing him from suspending in the air. He fell from mid-air, colliding with the river and creating a huge splash. The outside world was completely different from the world inside the cave. Here, the sound of rushing water could be heard at all times. Chen Zhou was now wandering around in the river, listening to the sound of the waterfall, and immediately felt his body and mind being cleansed.
This is the power of nature.
Under the impact of the waterfall's flow, Chen Zhou gradually forgot his earlier grief and slowly emerged from his pain.
