"Ancestor, my self-founded Luo Tian Sect still has about two hundred people without a place to settle. I can’t abandon them and join the Sacred Land." Luo Chen said.
Heize was speechless.
He thought Luo Chen was a rogue cultivator, yet didn’t expect there to be about two hundred ants relying on him.
Quite loyal!
"This matter is easy!"
Said Heize Ancestor casually: "My Mingyuan Land is located in the Mingyuan Marsh, the terrain is vast and boundless. You can bring them to join us. Or, you can choose a place in the ownerless land of the Thirty-six Realms of the Eastern Wasteland, na it Luo Tian Upper Sect, and settle it."
Luo Chen raised his head, cupped his hands and bowed.
"If that’s the case, then this junior is willing to join Mingyuan!"
Upon hearing this, the black-clad elder was greatly delighted and exclaid three tis:
"Great! Great! Great!"
Luo Chen’s Alchemy Dao accomplishnt, if at first was questioned by so, has beco unquestioned as he repeatedly refined various high-difficulty elixirs for others.
Especially!
He is so young!
Just over two hundred years old!
If he joins, even if unable to achieve Divine Transformation, he can serve the Mingyuan Sect for seven or eight hundred years.
In this way, he fills the gap left by the departure of the Alchemy Saint.
If he achieves the God Transformation Stage, then Mingyuan Sect would certainly be strengthened further, with endless benefits!
Laughing heartily, Heize Ancestor waved his hand.
A drop of water suddenly appeared.
Without Luo Chen being prepared, it instantly entered his brow.
"This!"
"Don’t worry, this drop contains one of my divine capabilities, it can protect you at critical monts." Heize Ancestor said kindly.
Luo Chen understood the explanation, his astonished expression eased.
"Thank you for your gift, Ancestor."
Heize Ancestor was very satisfied with Luo Chen’s reaction, then said: "Leave your spiritual pet here!"
This was to be expected, Luo Chen wasn’t surprised.
With a thought, Di Tu who stayed outside walked into the grand hall.
Facing the Divine Transformation Great Power, Di Tu rely glanced, then collapsed to the ground, its true form forcibly manifested.
"You may go, we shall et again when negotiating at Biyou Mountain!"
Luo Chen nodded, without looking at Di Tu, who was casting a pleading glance, calmly left Heavenly Water Hall.
...
Just as he exited, a hearty laugh reached his ears.
"Alchemy Sect, it’s been a while!"
Luo Chen looked up, it was the Lingtian City Lord who brought him over.
He forced a smile, "Why say it’s been a while, it’s only been three years."
"Absence for a day feels like three autumns, let alone three years?" Lingtian City Lord laughed heartily, then warmly said: "But from now on, you and I are fellow disciples, so we can et anyti."
This enthusiasm was indeed hard to resist.
Luo Chen pulled the corners of his mouth, said nothing.
"Let’s go, Junior Luo, rare you return, how can we neglect you? I have set up a banquet in the City Lord Mansion, all renowned figures in the city were invited long ago, only hoping to admire you. You don’t know, in the past three years, your battle in Fenghua District has spread across the Eastern Wasteland..."
Invited passionately by Lingtian City Lord, Luo Chen reluctantly followed him to the City Lord Mansion.
Regarding the change to "Junior Brother" by the other party, Luo Chen didn’t refute.
He knew that once he stepped out of Heavenly Water Hall, many things were already destined.
So matters are like this, when you can’t resist, you can only accept.
At least before accepting, he had done his best, raising his own value to the highest.
The promised conditions he received were far beyond ordinary imagination.
Even the Tianyuan Daoist Sect couldn’t value Luo Chen as much.
Since so, what was there to refuse?
The banquet set by Lingtian City Lord was indeed a grand feast!
The attendees were all Nascent Soul True Masters.
Several familiar friends of Luo Chen were also invited over.
Such as Jiuling Yuanjun, Deng Taiyue, Lin Qingxuan, among others.
Not only that, but even from the Mingyuan Sect side, two other great cultivators attended, naly True Master Chong Xuan and True Master Han Yang.
Seeing Luo Chen sitting at the top, alongside Lingtian City Lord, even surpassing Chong Xuan, Han Yang, and even Tian Douzi, the crowd though extrely surprised, did not voice any doubts.
They knew that just before, Luo Chen was summoned by Mingyuan Ancestor.
Would such an extraordinary rogue Pill Refinent Great Sect not move Mingyuan Sect?
Years ago, invited by Lingtian City Lord, Luo Chen politely declined.
Now personally invited by Divine Transformation Great Power, the ceremony was already fully realized, the other party must have accepted.
In this way, his status naturally rose, standing above everyone else was only to be expected.
Moreover, with Luo Chen’s reputation and brilliant achievents over the years, he was qualified to sit at the head.
Amidst the lively toasts, everyone was openly or secretly currying favor with Luo Chen.
Of course, there were also those who were disappointed.
Like Elder Fu, like Tian Douzi.
The forr because his painstakingly nurtured successor died in the great battle, the latter full of sighs.
Under the Holy Land, who can stand out?
With great difficulty, a Pill Sect with both strength and fa erged, only to be roped in by the Holy Land.
After a great battle, the Eastern Wasteland’s Immortal Cultivation World had all its sects and factions hollowed out, yet the Dark Abyss Sect was unhard.
When the ceasefire treaty is signed, perhaps this Eastern Wasteland would, like Zhongzhou, fall entirely under the sway of the Dark Abyss Sect!
At the banquet, Luo Chen watched everything with a smile and calmly accepted the return of Danluo Mountain from True Master Chong Xuan.
He expressed sympathetic reflections on the tragic battle at Lingtian Pass.
As for the battle of Baili Qingchuan, he simply glossed over it.
Calm and composed might describe Luo Chen’s approach today.
However, upon returning to the long-lost Danluo Mountain, Luo Chen’s expression turned grim.
...
Warm fingers touched the cold center of his brow.
There, a droplet-shaped mark, lifelike.
"I agreed to join the Dark Abyss Sect, so why resort to such tactics?"
"Protection?"
"Restraint!"
From the mont he t Heize, the first words of the other, gave Luo Chen a sense of déjà vu.
In his mory, an elder looking like a wealthy man had also spoken similar words.
"Luo Chen, isn’t it?"
"You are Luo Chen?"
And their actions were so similar.
Even more so with Heize today!
"But, do they really think these thods can suppress ?"
Luo Chen snorted coldly in his heart, already faintly aware of a way to solve this simple restriction.
Infuse the Divine Soul into the Nascent Soul, sever the head, and refine that droplet with the Fifth-Order Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, and freedom could be regained!
Even if things didn’t align, at worst he’d forfeit his own head!
With his Ancient Desolation Body capable of limb regeneration and flesh renewal, he could completely reshape his head.
However, this thought ca quickly and also went quickly.
That action would instantly alarm the Great Power Heize, making further complications likely.
Luo Chen cald himself, carefully analyzing today’s eting.
"If he sincerely wants to recruit , why engage in such petty behavior?"
"He frequently ntioned Alchemy Saint Chu Yan; is he afraid I’ll mimic the Saint’s past deeds?"
"Indeed, I already have ties with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect."
"But if that’s the case, Heize’s vision is quite narrow."
"Or perhaps it isn’t about narrow vision, but about warning ?"
Luo Chen roughly analyzed Heize’s behavior, still displeased in his heart.
He despised such actions throughout his life!
But the terms offered by the Dark Abyss Sect were indeed favorable; under the pressure of Great Powers, it was the best treatnt he could secure.
Ultimately, it was because of being implicated by Luo Tian Sect.
It was unavoidable that Luo Chen thought of this point.
Without being tied down by Luo Tian Sect, he could have easily fled elsewhere, why would he suffer the oppression of a Divine Transformation Great Power?
Of course, he never expected a Great Power of such stature to stoop so low, using Divine Capability Art to restrain him.
But because of this, it was impossible for Luo Chen to allow Luo Tian Sect to enter Mingyuan Sacred Land again.
"Once the great war ceases, I’ll seek another place, far from Mingyuan. If there are any changes in the future, I can move freely."
Luo Chen thought silently.
He rembered Heize had said personally, of the Thirty-six Realms of the Eastern Wasteland, as long as they were unoccupied lands, he could choose any one...
"Wait?"
Luo Chen suddenly realized.
Where are the Thirty-six Realms of the Eastern Wasteland?
At present, only twenty-one realms are controlled by the Human Clan, with many of them temporarily unsuitable for Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects to settle due to the war.
The remaining fifteen realms all belong to the Demon Clan!
"Could it be that the eting between the two clans at Biyou Mountain will bring further changes?"
