Speaking of the losses during the Human-Demon War, Jiuling Yuanjun was full of sorrow.
And when it ca to paying tribute and offering to the Daoist Sect, he was even more concealed with anger.
Luo Chen curiously asked, "Since everyone has left, why are you still willing to offer tribute?"
Jiuling Yuanjun said bitterly, "Who would be willing? Everyone wishes they could rest and recuperate, using all resources to restore the sect’s strength. But, that is the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"
Luo Chen frowned, "Since you know the changes in Zhongzhou, don’t you know that the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is now split into five parts—no, four parts? Moreover, there’s only one Divine Transformation Great Power left. They can hardly take care of themselves, let alone have the strength to control the Eastern Wasteland."
Upon suddenly hearing this information, Jiuling Yuanjun was taken aback.
The once-dominant Daoist Sect that suppressed the Mountain Sea Realm is now split into four?
The once world-famous Five Elders of Tianyuan, only one is left?
Seeing his reaction, Luo Chen realized that the cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland didn’t have detailed intelligence about Zhongzhou.
Indeed, his intelligence ca from the Cangwu Mountain Holy Land.
As an enemy of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, no one understands the changes in Zhongzhou better than Cangwu Mountain.
And the various forces of the Eastern Wasteland, leaderless, how could they understand the changes across the sea in such a short year?
Luo Chen shook his head, sighing, "If it were the peak of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, they wouldn’t need you to take the initiative to offer tribute. They would have already entered the Eastern Wasteland as before, not just relying on the East Sun Sect as a proxy."
Reflecting on the changes over the past few years, Jiuling Yuanjun found that this seed true.
The East Sun Sect was just a fox exploiting the tiger’s might.
And the few Daoist Sect Masters left in the Eastern Wasteland also seed to be sowhat lacking in substance.
For a mont, Jiuling Yuanjun’s face showed a mix of emotions.
Luo Chen didn’t disturb his thoughts, and sipped the treasured wine of the Jiuling Sect by himself.
It had been so years since he enjoyed these good things; his previous collection of Dieyun Sect’s spirit wine was completely consud during his journey to the South Border and cultivation at Soulbreak Cliff.
Such a tasting was truly refreshing.
After a while, Jiuling Yuanjun ca around.
"Thank you for informing of this news."
Luo Chen smiled, "What do you plan to do next?"
Jiuling Yuanjun pulled the corner of his mouth, "What I do is not important, but what other friends in the Eastern Wasteland do is. After all, that is still the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"
Luo Chen shrugged indifferently, "Then do as you please! Besides catching up, I have one more request on this visit."
"Oh?" Jiuling Yuanjun was quite surprised, "The Alchemy Sect has sothing to ask of ?"
Luo Chen was helpless; he wasn’t omnipotent, naturally there would be shortcomings.
Straightening his expression, Luo Chen stated his request.
"I wish to borrow your sect’s heirloom True Device for use."
"The Nine Heavens Jar?"
"Yes!"
"Granted to you!"
With a flick of the hand, Jiuling Yuanjun conjured a large black jar, which landed on the ground with a clang.
This treasure was the very important treasure he relied on during his battle with Peng Xiang Taoist of White Deer Cave.
Luo Chen was sowhat surprised at how readily the other party agreed, lending it without even asking its purpose.
He hesitated and said, "I have a technique that requires a large amount of Sky Qi, as you know. But collecting Sky Qi from the market is really too slow. I heard your sect’s heirloom True Device is the best at collecting Nine Heavens Sky Qi, so I dared to make such an abrupt request. This borrowing might take quite a long ti, not just a year or two."
Jiuling Yuanjun laughed heartily, "Luo Chen, you are really too polite. For you once unhesitatingly ca to the dicine King Realm to save , for which you fell into the encirclent and siege of the Three Great Demon Emperors, this kindness alone makes lending you a dead object trivial!"
Luo Chen was speechless, "If so, then I shall accept it."
Jiuling Yuanjun nodded, and simultaneously took out a jade slip, inserting his divine consciousness into it.
While engraving with divine consciousness, he said, "There are so tricks to using this treasure, to avoid trouble, I’ll first give you a recording of the Treasure Control Technique!"
Grateful at heart, Luo Chen said, "Then I’ll trouble you."
Suddenly, Jiuling Yuanjun paused.
"It’s not a trouble, but I also have an immodest request."
"Oh?" Luo Chen was curious.
Imdiately, he saw Jiuling Yuanjun across from him with mana fluctuations rolling and surging like ocean waves, and a vast aura slowly pressing over.
Luo Chen squinted his eyes, "It’s been many years, and friend has made such progress. Congratulations on breaking through to the Great Cultivator realm!"
Jiuling Yuanjun’s sleeves were fluttering without wind, with a hint of eager enthusiasm on his face.
"Since achieving the Great Cultivator state, I haven’t had a chance to spar with others. Friend, who can contend with the Demon Emperor Qing Shuang, should be the peer of this realm. I wonder how we compare to each other?"
Luo Chen gave a slight smile, spreading his hand.
"Co on!"
