After a loud bang, a thick cloud of smoke rose from the forest. The smoke dispersed and a man dressed in black walked out. His clothes were slightly damaged from the impact, but from the way he walked, he didn't seem to be heavily injured. The black clothed man raised his head, his eyes filled with a blood-red light. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips as he licked his lips, staring upwards.

Lu Chen looked down at the muscular man in black from midair, a trace of solemnity flashing through his eyes. Right after Lu Chen finished off a peak Sixth Order Tiger Carnage Bear, he was just about to continue deeper into the Thousand Monster Mountain when he heard a furious roar coming from not too far away, following that, a Tiger Carnage Bear appeared in front of him. Its tiger eyes were filled with anger, and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from its body let Lu Chen know that this was not a simple beast in human form, but a Lion Tiger Beast that wanted to become a late Nascent Soul Stage martial artist.

"Human, you trespassed into my Thousand Monster Mountain, and you even harmed my son. Today, I will take your life." The tiger slaying bear said angrily. Saying that, he once again flew up from the ground and punched Lu Chen.

A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Chen's eyes. He focused all of his spiritual power on his palms, 'Flame Palm'. With a low growl, Lu Chen sent a palm strike towards the Tiger Kill Bear's fist.

The collision of Lu Chen's palm and the Tiger Slaughtering Bear's fist stayed deadlocked in the sky for a moment. Lu Chen felt as if his palm had struck a profound stone, and the blood in his body was boiling. However, when he looked at the other party, who also had a pained expression on his face, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"Explode!" Lu Chen roared in his heart. This was what he had discovered a few days ago when he was killing a demon beast. If he were to control the explosion of fire while using the Blazing Flame Palm, it would be even more harmful to the enemy.

BOOM! A loud sound rang out in the air as two black figures shot out in two different directions. One of them fell straight to the ground while the other hit three trees before he managed to stabilize himself.

"Pfft." Lu Chen landed on the ground. He felt a sweet taste in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though he had retreated early, he was still hit by the explosion and suffered minor injuries.

"Roar!" A furious roar came from the front of Lu Chen, and immediately, a black shadow ran towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen did not hesitate and immediately brandished his Fire Cloud Sword, "Ten Thousand Fire Binding." Lu Chen held Fire Cloud Sword in front of his chest and formed a few hand seals, then flew towards the Fire Cloud Sword. The Fire Cloud Sword immediately glowed with a bright red light and hung high above Lu Chen's head.

Immediately, the place where the black shadow was was was lit up in flames, and one could faintly see a huge figure struggling in the middle.

Lu Chen followed the Fire Cloud Sword towards the source of the flames and saw a three meter long, tiger-like black bear trapped in the middle by countless thin lines of fire. The black bear, on the other hand, was constantly struggling within the line of fire.

Even the body of a late stage Nascent Soul Stage Tiger Massacring Bear was much stronger than that of an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator. Now, even though the Tiger Kill Bear had been severely injured by him several times, an ordinary late stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would have died a long time ago, yet the Tiger Kill Bear still acted as if it was unharmed. This allowed Lu Chen to witness how strong the Tiger Kill Bear's body was.

"Human, let go of me, or you will regret it." The Tiger Slaughtering Bear said with its mouth wide open and closed.

"I will only regret it if I let you go." Lu Chen thought in his heart, but didn't show it on the surface.

"Master, I felt a trace of strange Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from that Tiger Massacre Bear." Just as Lu Chen was thinking about how to kill the Tiger Kill Bear, Xiao Jin's voice sounded out in Lu Chen's heart.

"Is there something wrong with the spirit energy undulations?" "Tell me in detail." Lu Chen said.

Xiao Jin remained silent for a while before replying, "Master, I don't know the specifics either. I just feel that the Spiritual Energy coming from this Tiger Slaughtering Bear is abnormal."

Lu Chen lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he quietly looked at the Tiger Kill Bear and said: "If I let you go, can you promise that you won't cause me any trouble?"

The tiger slaying bear's eyes flickered for a moment before saying, "Yes, as long as you can let me go, I won't seek you out for revenge."

"Ten Thousand Flames Bind." Lu Chen pointed at the Tiger Kill Bear and saw that all of the threads of fire surrounding the bear had disappeared, while those threads of fire followed the air and entered Lu Chen's body.

Seeing that the shackles on its body were gone, the Tiger Slaughtering Bear stared at Lu Chen for a moment. Seeing that the latter still had an indifferent look on his face, it recalled the loss it had suffered at the hands of Lu Chen and turned away with a twinkle in its eyes.

"Humph, human, wait until I'm done recuperating before settling our accounts." A trace of coldness flashed through the tiger slaying bear's eyes.

After the Tiger Kill Bear left for a while, Lu Chen's body emitted a faint golden light, and a mini golden Buddha appeared on his body.

"It's gone. You should explain it to me." Lu Chen said in a displeased tone.

"With that stupid bear's talent, it's impossible for it to take human form, or even become a rank 6 beast." Xiao Jin said indifferently.

"So, you mean." Lu Chen asked.

"I left an imprint on that stupid bear. Just follow my instructions." Xiao Jin said.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. Although he was very depressed about Xiao Jin's attitude towards him and did not treat him as his master, thinking about the mysteriousness of the Golden Buddha, he suppressed his depression and followed Xiao Jin's guidance as they flew towards the depths of the Thousand Monster Mountain.

The Tiger Massacre Bear returned to its territory and vigilantly looked around. Seeing that there were no movements from his surroundings, it entered a hidden cave.

Not long after the Tiger Kill Bear entered the cave, Lu Chen walked out from the woods at the back. All of his qi and energy had been concealed by Xiao Jin. He stayed still for a while, then walked towards the cave where the Tiger Kill Bear was.

As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Chen could feel a rich spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was much richer than the spiritual energy he had felt at his residence in the Cloudsoaring sect.

"This is …" Lu Chen felt the surrounding spiritual energy and his eyes lit up.

"This is a spirit pond. To think that there would actually be such a heavenly spiritual object in the mortal world." Xiao Jin sighed with emotion as he sat on Lu Chen's shoulder.

"Spirit pond?" Lu Chen asked doubtfully.

"A spirit pond is a spirit object that has naturally formed between heaven and earth. It has the effect of cleansing the marrow and increasing one's comprehension. Anyone who cultivates Buddhism will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the Dharma very quickly after being illuminated by the Buddhist light from my body. Furthermore, for all of you, being able to soak in the Spirit Pool for a bit makes the Dharmic Dao that originally could not be understood very easily. I was wondering how that stupid bear could have such a high cultivation relying on the effects of the Spirit Pool. " Xiao Jin said.

"Increase your comprehension." A fiery heat flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. During this period of time, his inability to advance in his cultivation was related to his comprehension. If he could soak in this spirit pond, there was a possibility for his cultivation to advance as well.

"Tiger Massacre Bear, you're truly a lucky star." The corners of Lu Chen's lips curled up into a smile as he said this.
