The tent and cave dwelling that Qin Chen was in before had already been destroyed by the Golden Bull Demon. Fortunately, in this loose cultivator camp, there were many tents and cave dwellings, and Qin Chen quickly found a new cave.
"The urgent matter is to refine that thousand-year light first."
Inside the cave, Qin Chen closed off all perception of the outside world and immersed himself in the refinement of the thousand-year light.
In the depths of the loose cultivator camp, in the commanding tent, a pair of cold eyes were staring at the location of the cave where Qin Chen was.
"That kid, under such circumstances, actually still has the leisure to enter the cave to cultivate, acting as if nothing is wrong?"
The Giant Peak Earth Venerable frowned.
"This boy definitely has a problem."
For some reason, he always felt that there was something off about Qin Chen, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
"Lord, the Golden Bull Demon requests an audience."
At this moment, one of his servants respectfully reported from outside the tent.
"Let him in."
The Giant Peak Earth Venerable replied coldly, then sat down in his chair.
Moments later, the Golden Bull Demon walked into the tent, respectfully bowed to the Giant Peak Earth Venerable, and said, "Giant Peak Earth Venerable, you must make a decision for me."
The Golden Bull Demon was immensely frustrated in his heart; he had only followed the orders of the Giant Peak Earth Venerable to recruit new members, yet who would have thought that his reputation would be severely damaged.
"I understand about this matter. You can go back now."
The Giant Peak Earth Venerable said directly, feeling increasingly troubled.
The Golden Bull Demon was taken aback but dared not say anything further. However, he felt extremely disappointed and turned to leave the tent.
"These days, keep an eye on that kid for me. If he makes any moves, inform me at the first opportunity."
As the Golden Bull Demon reached the entrance of the tent, the cold voice of the Giant Peak Earth Venerable echoed behind him.
The Golden Bull Demon immediately revealed a look of ecstasy, excitedly saying, "Commander, this matter will be left to me."
After saying that, he left.
"Golden Bull Demon, what did Commander Giant Peak say?"
Upon returning to his tent, a group of people nervously approached him.
"Hmph, Commander Giant Peak wants us to keep an eye on that kid."
The corner of the Golden Bull Demon's mouth curled into a cold smile, his eyes revealing a chilling excitement. "You few, keep an eye on that kid for me. If there are any movements, notify me immediately."
"Yes, my lord."
The Golden Bull Demon's subordinates were also extremely excited and immediately left. Although the Giant Peak Earth Venerable hadn’t said much, everyone knew that he wanted them to keep watch on Qin Chen, indicating there must be some action.
"Hmph, offend us and see how that kid dies."
In this loose cultivator camp, the Giant Peak Earth Venerable naturally couldn't do anything to Qin Chen. However, once the other party left the camp, it would be a different story.
The personnel in the loose cultivator camp were complex, and often some hostile races would join in together, leading to disputes and battles outside the camp. As long as it didn't happen within the tents, no one would intervene.
Inside the tent where Qin Chen was located, streams of light continuously erupted around him, and with each breath, these lights flickered on the surface of his body.
Within Qin Chen's body, segments of light surged, constantly rising and falling in sync with his breathing.
Eventually, this light completely fused into Qin Chen's physical body, merging perfectly with the cells of his body.
From a distance, Qin Chen's body appeared as if it had transformed into a beam of light, becoming transparent. At first, the flesh and meridians within his body were faintly discernible, but in the end, Qin Chen's body was entirely transparent, like a person made of light.
"Thousand-year light!"
A layer of transparent halo faintly appeared around Qin Chen's body, and his physical form fully integrated with this light. It was as if every cell of his body had transformed into a beam of light, a force filled with the endless concept of void surged within Qin Chen's physical body. This power was incredibly subtle yet powerful and unfathomable.
